Chapter 1076 News of the End Spirit Seed

Lu Li felt that this description wasn't quite accurate. If he had to say, Fatty Dragon's expression was just like Ah Huo's expression when he hit Ah Huo with his oversized slippers.

But if the group owner is so powerful, who can beat him up?
Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Fatty Dragon subconsciously shifted its rear end, leaning against the wall, and then pointed at the merchandise in front of it, "Awooo, awooo."

Lu Li understood; this meant he should ask fewer questions and quickly choose the products.

Seeing that the group leader was in a bad mood, Lu Li didn't dare to provoke him. After all, he had only just entered the ninth rank, and the peak of the ninth rank was still an existence that was unattainable for him.

Through the chats of his fellow group members and his own observations, he had long known that the ninth rank was actually the biggest watershed in the space, and he didn't know how many talented people had fallen before this threshold.

Even among pioneers, many have historically been stuck at the ninth level, unable to advance, and ultimately ended up as supporters or died in the trials.

Once you cross this threshold, you'll feel that the path to greatness begins with a single step, and in fact, in a new field, it's just the beginning.

Each difference in attributes between the eighth tier represents a roughly 1.7-fold difference in strength, and this difference becomes even greater at the ninth tier.

This is why Dao Yan and Tian Huang temporarily reached the ninth rank after their fusion. As pioneers with spiritual seeds, they were only slightly lower in attributes than the High Priest and were clearly suppressed.

Once the fusion is broken, the two explode instantly without any suspense.

Therefore, in the ninth tier, every step is like ascending to heaven, and the difference in attributes at every point is significant.

Lu Li doesn't even know where the limit of the ninth rank is. He only knows that there are a few experts at the peak of the ninth rank in the group, but he doesn't know what the attributes of the peak of the ninth rank are.

Even though his attributes have improved a lot recently, he doesn't think he can keep improving at such a fast pace. After all, these improvements are due to the accumulation of previous efforts, the help of the space, and finally the Secret Blood Crystal he obtained.

During his time in the Dragon Ball world, Lu Li used the Origin Atomizer to absorb almost all of the Secret Blood Crystals, which boosted his overall attributes once again. He now has 294 points in overall attributes, a rate of improvement that even Aizen would find astonishing.

After all, Aizen's attributes hadn't changed at the eighth rank before he had achieved any results in his research over the years, while Lu Li's attributes had been rapidly improving at the ninth rank.

This further solidified Aizen's determination to study in World Zero. He knew that it was unrealistic to compete with Lu Li in terms of pure talent, but he wanted to rely on his intelligence and learning ability to find a new path in the high-end world.

Lu Li scanned the Fat Dragon Shop and found that there was nothing particularly appealing to him this time, which made him quite disappointed.

He subconsciously took out the Origin Atomizer, inhaled the last few drops of Secret Blood Crystal, and exhaled some dark red exhaust gas after it passed deep into his lungs.

As a result, Lu Li's bad habits developed over the past few decades, his subconscious actions, made Fatty Dragon look like he had seen a ghost.

The chubby dragon let out a howl, then shrank back, its fat buttocks still rubbing against the wall.

"Group owner, what's wrong?"

Lu Li was a little confused, then realized something and quickly put away the Origin Atomizer. "Sorry, I didn't ask if I could use an atomizer here."

He also saw in the instruction manual of the Origin brand atomizer that, as a best-selling product that is popular in the Origin space, this atomizer actually has many lower-level versions, ranging from Chaos to Epic.

This has led to some resistance from space explorers, who feel that it is uncivilized for explorers to openly draw inheritance crystals in the space, and some people even do strange things on the street after getting excited about drawing inheritance crystals.

Therefore, the instruction manual states that you should not use the Origin Atomizer in areas where smoking is prohibited.

"Ouch..."

Fatty Dragon looked at the Origin Atomizer in Lu Li's hand with a strange expression and reached out his hand.

"You're not going to confiscate it, are you?"

Lu Li asked cautiously.

"Ouch!"

Fatty Dragon roared, causing Lu Li to awkwardly hand over the item. Fatty Dragon flipped the atomizer over, looked at the last bit of Secret Blood Crystal inside, and suddenly its eyes slowly lit up again.

Seeing the change in the group owner's eyes, Lu Li instinctively felt that something was wrong, because the group owner's eyes looked like he had suddenly thought of an idea.

"Lord?"

Lu Li called out softly.

After regaining his senses, Fatty Dragon tossed the pipe to Lu Li, then danced and howled for a long time, trying to explain something to Lu Li.

It took Lu Li a lot of effort to understand what Fatty Dragon meant. Then, looking at the pipe in his hand, he suddenly realized, "Oh yeah, why didn't I wake up!"

"Awww."

Fatty Dragon had a persuasive expression on his face.

"That makes sense. If I were to enter that world, wouldn't I be able to obtain even more Mystic Blood Crystals?"

Lu Li slapped his thigh, realizing that Fatty Dragon was absolutely right.

Lu Li had been so focused on the effects of the Blood Crystal that he rarely paid attention to the source of the rewards given by the space, so he overlooked one thing: the No. 81 original world... wasn't that the other world mentioned on the invitation?
He hadn't planned to go to World Zero, but now that he knows World 81 produces such pure goods... no, bloodline items, he has to make a trip there.

Otherwise, even with the limiter removed, Lu Li would feel that his attributes wouldn't improve much even if he relied solely on his own cultivation in the ninth-tier realm.

Lu Li estimated that if he relied solely on his current state after the limiter was removed, it would take him at least 1 years to gain an extra point in all attributes.

This speed might be quite fast for other explorers, but Lu Li felt it was a bit slow. If he could obtain more Secret Blood Crystals, wouldn't he be able to improve at a rapid pace?
Furthermore, this thing is even marked with 'small', so does that mean it comes in medium, large, or even complete sizes, just like the inheritance crystal?

If even a small Secret Blood Crystal is this powerful, what would happen if he drew a large one?

"By the way, group admin, that world must be huge, where should I go to find it?"

Lu Li asked.

However, Fatty Dragon wore a mysterious expression and said nothing more. At the same time, he patted his belly and pulled out a prop from under his belly.

Lu Li's eyes lit up when he saw the product, because it was actually a 'survival manual' from the No. 81 original world, with a certified price of an S+ level rating badge.

Fatty Dragon's meaning was clear: he wanted him to take this into the world, while also placing his claws in front of his mouth, indicating that he shouldn't tell anyone else.

Clearly, this wasn't an item that would normally appear on the exchange list; it was Fatty Dragon's spur-of-the-moment idea. Lu Li didn't know Fatty Dragon's purpose; it seemed the dragon really wanted him to enter World 81, but Lu Li was already planning to go there anyway, so he naturally accepted the offer.

As for whether the intelligence is worth the money, that's for sure. It's a survival manual for a supreme realm. If you can understand it thoroughly, you don't know how many benefits you can get there.

After the exchange was completed, Fatty Dragon kicked Lu Li out. Lu Li was in a great mood and even waved goodbye to the group leader.

In the afternoon, the grumpy older sister he had contacted in the group finally replied, saying that he could make the purchase again.

"Thank you so much, but I really have no other options."

Lu Li met Xi Sun at the shrimp shop. Xi Sun seemed to be a regular customer of the shrimp shop as well. The two ate and chatted there.

Because his equipment underwent a major upgrade, some of the gems on his equipment became completely ineffective, such as Death Echo, which would no longer be useful at the Chaos level.

So Lu Li thought he should just replace all the old Immortal-level gems, and replace the less effective Immortal-level gems with Chaos-level ones.

However, the quality of gemstones on the market varies greatly, and the prices are quite high. After thinking it over, Lu Li decided to shamelessly ask Xi Sun if she could help him inquire about the availability of Manjusaka flowers.

"Don't be too happy yet. I can give you a discount on the items you choose, but the deputy commander also said this time that there are conditions."

After eating and drinking her fill, Xi Sun leaned back in her chair, lit a cigarette, and then tossed the gemstone storage bag onto the table.

"Oh? Please tell me first."

Lu Li perked up and his expression became more serious.

“Didn’t you say you also needed invitations? Actually, many people used invitations to enter those two worlds twenty years ago. Recently, things seem to be a bit turbulent in those two worlds, so many people from all over the world are keeping an eye on them. According to our group’s intelligence, there’s also a little troublemaker who just entered the No. 81 original world.”

Xi Sun said, "I have personally decided to enter the Zero Original World. I don't know what your plans are, but the vice leader's condition is that you enter the 81st Original World and resolve that little trouble."

"What little trouble? Please, sis, can you be more specific? It's just the two of us, why are you calling us riddle makers?"

Lu Li was somewhat speechless. As for entering the No. 81 original world, it didn't matter. Anyway, that was his original plan. Fatty Dragon and Manjusaka were both making the same request, so it was even more appealing if there were benefits involved.

"It's a rulebreaker named Li Zhong. His number has been erased by the giants of Wings of Freedom, so it's very difficult to locate him in space. But you know how terrible this space is..."

Xi Sun explained, "There are level requirements for hunting down a violator. It's impossible to use a cannon to kill a mosquito. Most ninth-level experts are very busy and are not in the space most of the time. There is no suitable person to kill him right now, so you have to do this job."

Lu Li listened thoughtfully, "He shouldn't be a simple rule-breaker, right? Otherwise, would he need to be specially arranged by the big boss Manjusaka?"

There are countless rule-breakers in the world, and the Wings of Freedom have existed for quite some time. He has seen many rule-breakers, and in theory, these are things that the pioneers and adjudicators within the system happen to encounter and resolve on the way.

A violator within his hunting range, or a violator whose strength he can reach, is not even considered an insect to Manjusaka. It needs to be mentioned that such a violator must have something different about him than an ordinary violator.

"He has the End Seed. The vice-commander means that the End Seed is in the hands of the violators, which is not a good thing for the End."

Xi Sun said, "How about it? This job isn't bad, is it? And you get a spirit seed too."

"If it were that simple, he wouldn't be alive today, would he?"

Lu Li grinned and said, "Tell me, what's his approximate strength?"

"Looks like you're not that stupid."

Xi Sun revealed an alluring smile and exhaled a puff of smoke. "He's probably at the mid-stage of the ninth rank, and his overall attributes are probably less than 320 points."

"Cough cough cough..."

Lu Li, who was drinking tea, choked. "How many attributes did you steal?"

"When a hunter last saw him, his overall stats were around 318. I don't know now, but they probably haven't increased too much."

Xi Sun laughed and said, "What's wrong? The Demon Prisoner, who was once a powerful figure in the Nine Spaces with his eighth-order physique, is now afraid?"

"Don't provoke me. I'm not going to back down. The question is, is your commander really comfortable entrusting this mission to me?"

Lu Li found it absurd and pointed to himself, "Even though I've improved quite a bit recently, I'm still only an eighth-tier explorer with 294 attribute points."

"Look, Versailles again."

Xi Sun flicked the ash from her cigarette with her fingertips. "It's just a verbal promise. The deputy commander didn't make you sign a contract. What she meant was that you go into the world first, go ahead and do it. If you can't do it, we'll talk about it later."

Lu Li had a feeling that people, including Fatty Dragon, were hiding something from him, but he also felt that these big shots wouldn't deliberately try to trick a newbie like him who was only at the beginning of the ninth rank.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Li nodded, "I will do my best. Even without the help of the great Manjusaka, I am captivated by the End Spirit Seed. This matter is settled."

Although no contract needs to be signed, Lu Li will do his best to fulfill the promises he makes. Moreover, he was already very interested when he heard Dao Yan say that the End Spirit Seed was with the violator.

"Great job! I admire you!"

Xi Sun said with a smile, "Let's start choosing. Since it's an advance payment, the discount isn't as good as last time. 10 Inheritance Crystals, one complete crystal."

Lu Li knew the rules for choosing gems from the gem bag. It was the same bag as last time, containing gems ranging from Immortal to Great Dao level. According to Xi Sun, he could exchange ten Great Dao level gems for them completely.

However, Lu Li still didn't intend to take more. Given the quality of the Chaos Gems inside, he had already made a huge profit with 10 of them. Moreover, he felt that something was off about this mission, and he wouldn't feel at ease taking more.

Before long, Lu Li selected six Chaos-level gems and paid for them with the Inheritance Crystals he had earned from the World Conquest.

The functions of these gems were chosen by him based on the characteristics of his own equipment and his considerations for the next world.

Just as Lu Li was excitedly taking the gemstone back to have it set, Chu Chu's voice call came through again.

"I've finally finished making all that damn equipment of yours. You have ten minutes to pick it up, or else."

Chu Chu's voice had an ethereal quality, as if she were about to fall asleep at any moment.

Upon hearing this, Lu Li smiled. He wanted to see how much Chu Chu's crafting techniques had changed in the past twenty years.
