My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 1311: Attracting the World’s Attention

Zhi Wuzi was taken aback. “Meng Mingshi? The great general who defeated Great Jin on Mount Xiao?”

“They smell the same. There’s no mistake,” Zhi Weizi said confidently.

“Elder Brother, if you’d told me this earlier, I would’ve captured all of them,” Zhi Wuzi said, frustrated.

Zhi Wenzi shook his head. “If it was possible, I would’ve given the order myself. That person holding the sword is too composed; the person carrying a saber at his waist has a strong aura. They’re definitely not ordinary people. Most importantly…” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “The sword user, saber user, and that young man seem to share a common energy fluctuation in their bodies. That young man’s energy is very turbulent while the sword user and the saber user’s energies are calmer. Despite the similarities, there are obvious differences as well.”

“How strange…” Zhi Wuzi frowned.

“I suspect they’re Meng Mingshi’s men who survived…” Zhi Wenzi said, “If my speculation is right, then their motive in killing Xi Qishu and Xian Gao is clear. Xi Qishu had manipulated Zhao Yu for a long time. If Zhao Yu is privy to that now, it makes sense that he’s standing firmly on those people’s side.”

Zhi Wuzi nodded. “Elder Brother, your analysis makes sense.”

“In order to be safe, I’ll think of a way to set a trap and take them down in one fell swoop,” Zhi Wenzi said.

“If you want to play it safe, why don’t we ask one of the Venerable Masters for help?” Zhi Wuzi asked.

“With the imbalance, the world’s not peaceful so the Venerable Masters won’t easily leave their homes. Tuoba Sicheng and Ye Zheng are dead so Qin Renyue and Fan Zhong are even more cautious now,” Zhi Wenzi said.

At the mention of Tuoba Sicheng, Zhi Wuzi sighed. “I admired Venerable Master Tuoba a lot. I didn’t expect him to die…”

“With Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu guarding Yu Zhong, not to mention Tuoba Sicheng who was alone, even if the other Venerable Masters joined forces, they would still have to think twice about going against Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu…”

After a moment, Zhi Wuzi said tentatively, “Elder Brother, I have a question that I don’t dare to ask… I don’t know if I should ask…”

“We’re brothers. You can speak freely to me,” Zhi Wenzi said.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhi Wuzi asked in a low voice, “The cultivation base of the emperor of Great Qin…”

Zhi Wenzi raised his hand immediately and interjected, “The walls have ears. Let’s return to the manor.”

“Alright.”

…

At night.

Zhao Residence.

Compared to the Unknown Land, this place was extremely quiet.

Lu Zhou muttered to himself, “I still need some time before activating my 14th Birth Chart.”

With the Pillar of Impermanence and the Divine Soul Bead, his speed of improvement was too fast. It was almost like he was pulling on a seedling to help it grow. He would need some time to stabilize his cultivation first before he continued.

He had activated two Great Birth Charts. Even a Venerable Master might not have two Birth Charts. His next few Birth Charts could be placed in the ‘human’ and ‘earth’ regions. In other words, he needed beast kings or beast emperors’ life hearts. It would be best if they had special abilities like Yong He. In any case, now was not the time for him to collect life hearts.

Lu Zhou glanced at the night sky outside the window before he called up the system’s interface.

Merit points: 141,310

Yu Shangrong and Mingshi Yin had brought him more than 50,000 merit points for killing Xi Qishu and more than ten of his men. The reward was not bad.

It had been a long time since he drew the lottery so he decided to try his luck.

“Lucky draw.”

“Ding! Used 50 merit points. Thank you for your participation. Luck point +1.”

“Lucky draw.”

“Ding! Used 50 merit points. Obtained: mystic microstone x1.”

Lu Zhou paused. ‘Mystic microstones can be obtained through lucky draws?’

Currently, he had ten mystic microstones. This was the result after searching all over the Unknown Land. If it were not for Kong Wen and his brothers’ tracking talisman, he probably would not even be able to find one.

Mystic microstones were the main items needed to upgrade weapons to the infinite grade. In light of their importance, he had carried them around.

“Ten should be enough.”

Mystic microstones were different from obsidian essences. As long as there was an ore, it would not be difficult to obtain obsidian essences. On the other hand, mystic microstones were very mysterious. They seemed to contain the subtle essence of heaven and earth and were very small. They were rare and scattered in the world with no rhyme or reason, which meant that it was even more difficult to find them.

When Lu Zhou brought out all the mystic microstones and arranged them in a circle in front of him…

“Ding! Mystic microstone: used to upgrade fusion-grade items to infinite-grade items.”

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at his weapons.

Weapons: Unnamed, Jade Horsetail Whisk(heaven grade), Purple Glazed Ceramic(fusion grade), Confinement Seal(fusion grade), Seven Stars Sword, Saint Staff, Wind Spirit Bow, Pillar of Impermanence(infinite grade; 20% spirituality), Asura Scimitar

Unnamed seemed to grow stronger along with his cultivation base so there was no need to care about it.

Among all the weapons, the Purple Glazed Ceramic was of the greatest help to him. The others were just waiting to be deconstructed.

Lu Zhou bought a refining talisman and placed the Purple Glazed Ceramic in the center of the mystic microstones.

The ten mystic microstones glowed with a red light instantly and connected with each other before it burst into flames, looking like a bonfire, while the Purple Glazed Ceramic began to glow brilliantly.

With that, all he needed to do was wait.

Following that, Lu Zhou deconstructed the Saint Staff, Asura Scimitar, Seven Stars Sword, and the Jade Horsetail Whisk.

He obtained a mystic microstone from deconstructing the Asura Scimitar, and three obsidian essences each from the Saint Staff and the Seven Stars Sword. As for the Jade Horsetail Whisk, he obtained what looked like… a pinch of dust.

“…”

Lu Zhou kept the mystic microstone for himself and left the rest for the others.

He did not deconstruct the flood-grade Wind Spirit Bow. After all, there was only one Godly Archer in the Evil Sky Pavilion. It was best to give it to Hua Yuexing.

When Lu Zhou saw the Pillar of Impermanence’s spirituality was at 20%, he knew it meant that he could only use one-fifth of its power. The higher the spirituality, he would naturally be able to access more power as well. However, the increase would be slow.

Lu Zhou looked at the burning mystic microstones. The Purple Glazed Ceramic was glowing red at this time.

After he shifted his gaze away, he brought the Pillar of Impermanence out.

“It’s time to upgrade my blue avatar.”

The blue avatar was now a Two Leaf Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. Sprouting one leaf required 10,000 years.

Lu Zhou raised his hand. 10 advanced enhanced Reversal Card appeared in his hands. He did not hesitate and crushed them immediately.

…

Vitality energy surged and converged swiftly in the sky above the Zhao Residence, forming a vortex.

The low-level cultivators patrolling the grounds of the Zhao Residence stopped moving and looked at the sky in surprise.

For the ordinary maidservants and attendants, they merely felt a gust of strong wind. Nothing was out of the ordinary for them.

On the other hand, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were not surprised and went about their business as usual.

Only Kong Wen looked at the sky in confusion and asked, “Left Envoy Yan, what’s the Pavilion Master doing?”

“It’s a healing-type grand technique! Just don’t go near the Pavilion Master, and you’ll be fine,” Yan Zhenluo said.

Kong Wen nodded and no longer paid attention to the sky.

At this moment, Kong Wen ran over in a panic. “What happened?!”

Kong Wen explained, “There’s no need to panic. The Pavilion Master is cultivating a healing-type grand technique.”

“Grand technique?” Zhao Yu looked at the sky churning with vitality energy that kept converging from all directions in shock. Then, he recalled his mother’s complexion and health that were getting better after being treated by Lu Zhou and exclaimed, “No wonder!”

…

At the same time.

In the white palace.

The blue-clad female attendant rushed over and bowed. “Master, the Sacred Hall has detected an anomaly. They said there is something other than the imbalance at play.”

Lan Xihe opened her eyes and frowned in confusion. “Continue..”
