Chapter 1281: Altering the Formations

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Liu Yun was a kind person. He even secretly told Lu Li and Qian Huanhan some information about Patriarch Gu. According to Liu Yun, Patriarch Gu was a skilled craftsman and was very likely to become a master craftsman.

Unfortunately, his wife died an accidental death, which had destroyed Patriarch Gu. He could not recover from this depression and was in a dispirited state for hundreds of years. Finally, Patriarch Gu recovered. But then his only son died when exploring a place. Patriarch Gu was without offspring.

This struck him even worse. Patriarch Gu was always a strange person but this incident made him much more difficult. He rarely made contact with others in the sect. He would stay in his mansion by himself. Apart from the Chief, none of the other patriarchs was in good terms with Patriarch Gu.

Patriarch Gu was even harder on the disciples. He would scold and even punish anyone that he saw undisciplined. Once, he scolded Lady Dan for an hour.

The Chief and the other patriarchs understood him and nobody pointed fingers at him no matter what he did. Rather, the others would tell the disciples to make compromises. After all, Patriarch Gu was a poor fellow.

Liu Yun told Lu Li and Qian Huanhan to tolerate Patriarch Gu and did as he pleased and they should not upset Patriarch Gu for no reason.

Otherwise, even when they were slapped to death, the Chief would only condemn Patriarch Gu but that would be it. Back in the days, Patriarch Gu made huge contributions to the sect. Even now, every year, he could make several supreme Relics.

Liu Yun also provided some information about the levels of a craftsman. The ones that could make Relics of the inferior-grade would be qualified as a craftsman. The ones that could make superior-grade Relics would be a skilled craftsman. An expert craftsman could make supreme Relics. For those that could forge sacred-grade Relics, they were master craftsman.

Lu Li asked a question out of curiosity. “Then what is the standard for becoming a grand craftsman? Are there any higher levels above the sacred-grade?”

“You do not need to know!”

Liu Yun waved his hand. “You will find out when you become a master craftsman. I am telling you. Even a skilled craftsman, not to mention a master craftsman, enjoys a high status in the Divinity. Even the Chiefs of the 72 sects will regard skilled craftsmen with respect.”

“Okay. Off you go now!”

Liu Yun stood up. “Come back in half a year. As long as you don’t make mistakes, you will become official disciples, and you can collect salary.”

Lu Li and Qian Huanhan bid farewell to Liu Yun. Lu Li did not want to linger on out here, afraid that he would meet Lady Dan and Liu Yunlong and the lot and conflicts could break out. He wished to go directly back to Patriarch Gu’s place.

“Brother Li, you go. I have to meet with a friend!”

Qian Huanhan suddenly said, mysteriously. Lu Li asked with a frown, “You have friends in the Chamber of Relics?”

“Right”

Qian Huanhan grinned. “I have a friend that joined the Chamber of Relics two years ago. I will go to him and ask some questions.”

“Sure. Go ahead!” Lu Li waved his hand. “Do not make trouble. Do you understand? Swallow down the humiliation even if someone is going to bully you. You can crush a jade talisman if you have to. I will come immediately.”

Lu Li handed over a jade talisman. Qian Huanhan nodded gratefully and then dashed toward the east like a sly fox. Lu Li headed back to Patriarch Gu’s place. This time, it was a safe walk back. He encountered some disciples on the way but they did not notice him.

Lu Li did not go back to report to Patriarch Gu at once. He went back to the attic and entered his room to cultivate.

A moment later, Lu Li took out the Wicked Bead so that Bloodvine could come out secretly and reach her tentacles into the ground.

“Blood Fairy, try to change the Inhibition Formations in the room!”

Lu Li told Blood Fairy. After all, the Inhibition Formations here were set up by Patriarch Gu. Lu Li was afraid that Patriarch Gu could monitor the room. Hence, he wanted Blood Fairy to do some alterations.

In this way... his secrets would remain secrets.

Blood Fairy sneaked into the room. Soon, she detected the Inhibition Formations and said after a while, “It’s just regular Inhibition Formations here. Master, are you sure you want to change them?”

“Yes!”

Lu Li had made up his mind. He was not sure if Patriarch Gu would notice the change. Even so, Lu Li felt this was a must move.

Otherwise, all of his secrets would be known to Patriarch Gu. How would Lu Li read the books collected by Tian Lingzi secretly? How could he secretly forge artifacts?

“Okay~”

Blood Fairy began to do the alteration. The Inhibition Formations in this room was simple. In an hour, she had taken her tentacles back. Lu Li put away the Wicked Bead at once. “Master, it’s done. I did some changes quietly. I will know if someone is trying to check up on you with psychic power.” She replied.

“Alright!”

Lu Li felt relieved. He sat down to cultivate. As a matter of fact, he was waiting for Patriarch Gu’s reaction. After all, he was the one that set up the Inhibition Formations so he probably would notice.

“Well?”

Patriarch Gu was reading a book in the backyard. When Blood Fairy was done altering the Inhibition Formations, he looked up toward Lu Li’s room with a frown.

“Hmm~”

A moment later, Patriarch Gu mumbled, “He has the guts to change my Inhibition Formations, really? But... that seems to be good work. Even I cannot send psychic power in. Interesting...”

Patriarch Gu did not try to force his psychic power in. otherwise, he could easily know what Lu Li was doing in the room. But Blood Fairy would know. Everyone had their own secrets. Patriarch Gu had no interest to pry into Lu Li’s privacy.

Two hours later, Blood Fairy confirmed that nobody was checking with psychic power. Lu Li felt completely relieved. He took out a book on formations from the Wicked Bead and began to read.

For the short term, Lu Li’s plan was to strengthen his knowledge on Inhibition Formations. He had no idea how to advance in his fighting abilities. He had been studying the Slayer’s move and wind-related Fundamental Principles without making any progress. Therefore, for now, he wanted to focus on Inhibition Formations and forging artifacts.

To be able to stay in the Chamber of Relics, Lu Li must achieve progress in forging artifacts. If he could not find a place in the Chamber of Relics and gain a firm foothold when the Cabinet of Cloud came, would the Chamber of Relics offend the Cabinet of Cloud just for someone with no value or status?

Lu Li had no idea. To make things worse, he had provoked people in the Chamber of Relics. If Lady Dan were to fan the fire, Chamber of Relics could give him up to Cabinet of Cloud.

Therefore, to save his own life, he must be able to stand firm in the Chamber of Relics. At the very least, he must become someone that the Chamber of Relics was willing to protect, if not an instrumental part of the sect!

The Wicked Bead housed the collection of a master craftsman, which was Lu Li’s biggest advantage. He believed that given time, he could become a craftsman, even a skilled craftsman!

A moment later, the Inhibition Formation in Lu Li’s room glowed. He put away the book. Qian Huanhan had come back.

As soon as Qian Huanhan came in, he activated the Inhibition Formation secretively. Then, he took out a stove and some basic materials as well as over a dozen books from his Interspatial Ring. “Brother Li, I got some stuff of forging artifacts from my friend. Here is your half. Ha... with those, we can gradually learn how to forge artifacts. Sooner or later, we will all become master craftsmen!”

“Han, thank you so much!”

Lu Li smiled. There were better stoves and materials in the Wicked Bead. But Qian Huanhan must regard Lu Li as a real friend to be able to think of him when he was obtaining those things.
