Chapter 1167: Harvest
October 14, 2017
Bingzhou, a mountain near Beifeng City.
The middle-aged Daoist stared in disbelief at the scene before him. It was evident that he was utterly perplexed by the sudden retreat of the ethereal elder, his face filled with incredulity.
This was understandable, as he knew the old man well, and such an action was completely out of character.
Based on his understanding of the elder, even if he teamed up with the young man, they might not be able to stop the elder. The reason the elder had halted earlier was that he didn't want to harm Lu HaiKong, who, after all, was a Human Realm Sovereign. Attacking Lu HaiKong would not only result in a backlash of fortune but also attract the wrath of the System.
So, when the middle-aged Daoist tried to stop him, he seized the opportunity to pause, intending to first deal with Yu Ji and then turn on Lu HaiKong.
However, he hadn't anticipated that Yu Ji would not only fail to capture NiuNiu but also be killed by Lu HaiKong's axe. In this situation, he had no choice but to take action.
The middle-aged Daoist initially believed that this battle was inevitable, especially since the elder was willing to confront Lu HaiKong, a Human Realm Sovereign, and possibly the future Human Realm Emperor, just to capture NiuNiu. Moreover, he had even dared to face the System directly.
With such determination, he should not have backed down, even when faced with great challenges, let alone when confronted by the middle-aged Daoist and the young man together. How could he suddenly turn and leave? Could this young man truly be that powerful?
This left the middle-aged man puzzled, but he had no intention of communicating with the young man. After a simple nod, they each went their separate ways.
Soon after the middle-aged Daoist and the young man departed, an unkempt-looking old man appeared where they had been.
After emerging, the old man glanced at Lu HaiKong and then in the direction where the other elder had disappeared. He shook his head and muttered, "Impulsive again, impulsive again..."
Then, the unkempt old man disappeared while still muttering.
As these four individuals left, three others in two different locations also departed from their original spots. With this, the commotion caused by NiuNiu's transformation came to an end.
However, few knew that during NiuNiu's advancement, the true powerhouses of the Three Kingdoms world had once clashed outside Beifeng City.
...
Bingzhou, Beifeng City, City Lord's Mansion.
The battle on Lu HaiKong's side concluded the moment his Heaven Splitting Axe landed on Yu Ji.
Although Yu Ji was powerful, he couldn't withstand the combined attack of Princess San's Dragon Slaying and Lu HaiKong's Heaven Splitting Axe, which included thirty percent of NiuNiu's strength. He died instantly.
For Lu HaiKong, eliminating Yu Ji was a welcome outcome. His only regret was that the strike had drained all his power, leaving him in a slightly weakened state.
Lu HaiKong estimated that, in his current condition, he would need to rest for at least a few days, even with Hua Tuo's medical treatment.
However, as NiuNiu scurried over with her short legs and embraced him, Lu HaiKong suddenly felt a gentle force emanating from his heart, gradually restoring his power.
"What's happening?"
"Am I about to break through? No, this doesn't feel like the situation where I'm about to reach the hundredth level!"
Lu HaiKong was initially startled, but then he quickly realized that there had been numerous system prompts earlier, and checking those would be a faster way to understand the situation.
With this thought, Lu HaiKong instinctively brought up his attribute panel, displaying all the previous system prompts.
【You have successfully defeated the guardian boss, the Azure Dragon Soul, and obtained its fragments!】
【Congratulations on completing the instance dungeon, the Ruins of the Dragon Locking Hall. You have obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest and a special reward!】
【Congratulations! You have successfully eliminated the hidden danger. Your city, Luoyang City, now meets the conditions to be promoted to a Commandery City!】
The first three prompts were clearly rewards from Lu HaiKong's previous completion of the Ruins of the Dragon Locking Hall instance. At that time, Lu HaiKong had been in a hurry to return and check on NiuNiu, so he hadn't paid much attention to the rewards, which were indeed quite impressive, but they weren't what he was currently concerned about.
Lu HaiKong glanced at these three system prompts and then scrolled down to read the subsequent ones.
【Your contracted spirit beast, the Dragon Serpent NiuNiu, has awakened a special bloodline and consumed a portion of the Azure Dragon Soul, enhancing its strength. It now meets the conditions to evolve into a Divine Dragon and has begun the evolution process!】
【You have allowed your contracted spirit beast, the Dragon Serpent NiuNiu, to undergo the Dragon Serpent Tribulation within your territory...
Lu HaiKong skimmed through this and continued scrolling down, directly jumping to the system prompt after NiuNiu's evolution.
In the 169th book, 1st bar, 1st chapter, 1st look, there was no mistake!
【Your contracted spirit beast, the Dragon Serpent NiuNiu, has successfully evolved into a Divine Dragon. As your contracted spirit beast, you receive a million fortune points, which will be distributed within half an hour!】
This one, this was it!
When Lu HaiKong saw this prompt, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
The only reward he received during NiuNiu's evolution was this prompt. Aside from this, he hadn't obtained any treasure chests or other rewards, only the million fortune points.
Regarding fortune points, to be honest, Lu HaiKong hadn't felt their use before. Moreover, having too many fortune points could sometimes pose a risk of overload.
However, as a gentle power spread within him, and as Lu HaiKong noticed this system prompt drawing attention to the Emperor Cauldron, he realized that the million fortune points were significantly enhancing the Emperor Cauldron.
The million fortune points seemed to bring considerable reinforcement to the Emperor Cauldron. At this moment, Lu HaiKong had a feeling that once the Emperor Cauldron completed its enhancement, and he officially became a king, he would be able to easily crush any enemy like Yu Ji within his royal capital, even without the system's protection.
"So, fortune points aren't that bad after all!"
As he felt his strength gradually recovering, Lu HaiKong smiled and then scanned the last system prompt.
【You have defeated the special historical demon, Yu Ji, and obtained a Mythical Treasure Chest and all of Yu Ji's possessions!】
Upon reading this, Lu HaiKong's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He felt that the reward was a bit lacking. When he killed Qu Tupo, a Sui-Tang era martial general whose strength was far inferior to Yu Ji's, he received the Heaven and Earth Blessing. Yet, after killing Yu Ji, he only got a Mythical Treasure Chest, which seemed a bit unfair. However, when he saw that he had obtained all of Yu Ji's possessions, Lu HaiKong's eyebrows relaxed a little.
