Absolute Resonance - Chapter 1733

Chapter 1730 Everyone

“Li Luo, this is Zhang Lingsu, the head of our Jinlong Mountain Zhang Vein.”

While Yu Hongxi was overcome with emotion by Li Luo’s current strength and fame, Lü Sui, with a smile on his face, pointed to a graceful woman in palace attire beside him. Her face was beautiful, elegant, and dignified, her eyes like the full moon, shimmering with moonlight.

“This is Qian Yan, the head of our Jinlong Mountain Qian Vein.”

Lü Sui then pointed to a burly, middle-aged man with white hair and beard. His furious beard and hair were untamed, his eyes pulsing with the furious essence of thunder.

“Greetings, both heads of the vein,” Li Luo said, bowing.

“I’ve long heard of Alliance Leader Li Luo’s illustrious reputation. Meeting him today, I see he’s truly a promising young man with unparalleled talent.” Zhang Lingsu and Qian Yan, the two clan leaders of the Zhang and Qian clans within Jinlong Mountain, showed no disrespect towards Li Luo.

Instead, they treated him with the courtesy of a peer, showing no disdain for his age or seniority. They couldn’t help but sigh in admiration at the young man before them, whose tall stature and gentle smile emanated an irresistible aura of power. They had first heard of Li Luo when they vaguely heard that Lu Qing’er had some romantic connection with him.

Naturally, they ordered their subordinates to investigate. At that time, Li Luo had only just returned to the Dragon Tooth Cultivation from Daxia, and his strength hadn’t even reached the Marquisate realm.

Therefore, after hearing about him, they hadn’t paid much attention to him.

But who could have known that in just a decade or so, the young man, once considered unworthy of a marquisate, would reach such a formidable level, even filling these two veteran masters with fear.

Now that he had arrived at Jinlong Mountain, they even had to greet him personally.

Furthermore, not only had Li Luo’s own strength reached its peak, but his background was also extraordinary. If he had been a descendant of the former Li Tianwang, Jinlong Mountain would have been polite, but not respectful. But now, things were different. Li Jingzhe had reached the level of Tianwang, and Tan Tailan was an unparalleled ninth-rank, a truly stunning figure.

With such a background, even Jinlong Mountain had to be extremely courteous.

Li Luo humbly clasped his fists, his gaze sweeping across the crowd behind him, where he spotted some familiar figures.

Lü Ruyan, with whom he had previously fought in the Heavenly Mirror Tower, and Lü Shuanglu and Zhang Cuicheng, whom he had met in the Boundary River Region.

When Lu Ruyan caught Li Luo’s eye, her charming face darkened slightly. She avoided his gaze, not daring to look him in the eye. Back in the Sky Mirror Tower, Li Luo’s physiognomy level had been lower than hers, but now, he had reached the peak of the Unparalleled Eighth Rank, even achieving the astonishing feat of single-handedly suppressing two veteran masters at the peak of the Triple Crown.

While she was already attempting to reach the King Realm, she still lacked the necessary prowess.

The two were now on completely different levels.

“Hi, Li Luo, long time no see. You look truly impressive now.” Lu Shuanglu smiled and waved, her pretty face seemingly etched with admiration, though even that couldn’t conceal the shock in her beautiful eyes.

“Thank you, Miss Shuanglu, for the Spiritual Water and Miraculous Light you gave me,” Li Luo said with a smile. He had a good impression of Lu Shuanglu; she had helped him in the Jiehe Region.

Seeing Li Luo being so polite, Lu Shuanglu’s beautiful eyes sparkled and she seemed very happy: “This was Qing’er’s instruction back then. I’m just looking for an excuse to give it to you.”

Lu Qing’er’s icy eyes cast over and said, “Second sister, don’t say too much about the past.”

Lu Shuanglu quickly shut up when she heard that. Lu Qing’er is now very different from before. She has perfectly inherited the Holy Ice Seed and even became the first person to evolve the Holy Ice Seed into an acquired primitive seed since the founding of Jinlong Mountain. With such an achievement, even the three kings of Jinlong Mountain have high hopes for her. In addition, Lu Qing’er’s emotions are now frozen, and her every word and action gives people an inexplicable sense of deterrence, making people dare not act rashly in front of her.

Seeing this, Li Luo looked at Zhang Cuicheng and nodded.

The young prodigy of the Zhang Clan quickly returned the greeting, his gaze toward Li Luo filled with yearning. He too aspired to one day reach this realm and become the world’s most powerful being.

“Li Luo, I believe Uncle Taiyi has already informed you of the purpose of your visit. For Qing’er’s ‘Acquired Primordial Seed’ to reach perfection, a grand ceremony is required. Our Golden Dragon Mountain has been preparing for this for thousands of years. This ceremony requires the power of the other two sacred seeds of Golden Dragon Mountain: the Zhang Clan’s ‘Moon Sacred Seed’ and the Qian Clan’s ‘Thunder Sacred Seed’. The power of these three sacred seeds converges, tempering each other, and then, with the power of the ritual, will enable Qing’er to take this step.”

“However, this ceremony requires a facilitator. This person must be strong enough to withstand the immense impact of the confluence of the three sacred seeds, while also being able to guide the other two, preventing them from destroying and eroding each other…”

“Originally, this facilitator was to be a Heavenly King from our Golden Dragon Mountain.”

“But for the past ten years of Tianyun, the Heavenly King has been unable to descend upon Shenzhou, so naturally our original plan has fallen through. We’ve been troubled by this for a long time. Fortunately, the Heavenly King has sent a message, saying that perhaps you could help us with this matter.”

Lu Sui now detailed the details of his invitation to Li Luo. Finally, he smiled and said, “As long as you can make a move, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Jinlong Mountain will reward you with a Supreme Ninth Grade Spiritual Water…”

“Ahem.”

Before he could finish his words, Lu Taiyi coughed dryly and said, “Three portions of Supreme Ninth Grade Spiritual Water and Wonderful Light.”

Lu Sui was a little stunned, then looked at Lu Taiyi with a hint of confusion. Before leaving, hadn’t the reward been one or two portions of Supreme Ninth Grade Spiritual Water and Wonderful Light? How had it suddenly been increased to three?

A treasure like Supreme Ninth Grade Spiritual Water and Wonderful Light is something that even Jinlong Mountain can only find on the fingers of one hand.

Lu Taiyi stroked his beard and pursed his lips at Lu Qing’er, indicating that this was your daughter’s offer and had nothing to do with me.

Lu Qing’er said calmly, “At that time, Dragon Clan leader Zhen Linshuang didn’t want to let us go. She also offered three portions of the Ninth-grade Spiritual Water and Wonderful Light, asking Li Luo to perform other tasks for her. We didn’t have time to wait, so we had to raise the price.”

Li Luo was about to say something when Lu Qing’er’s calm voice came over: “Li Luo, if you don’t want to do it, you can leave now.”

Li Luo could only shrug and remain silent.

Lu Sui looked at Yu Hongxi with a complicated expression. Hadn’t he sealed off all emotions? How could he still give away his precious materials?

Yu Hongxi rolled her eyes. This was already a sign of sealing off all emotions. If it were in the past, you wouldn’t have been able to keep many of your collections.

However, Lu Sui’s rise to the helm of Golden Dragon Mountain naturally showed his arrogance. So, he finally accepted the exorbitant price with a pinch of his nose, saying with a smile: “Li Luo, you should rest in the mountains for two days. After two days, when the ritual is complete, I’ll be grateful for your assistance.”

Li Luo nodded.

“Everything is subject to the arrangements of Mount Lu Sui.”
