Chapter 1017: Attention Must Be Paid to the Gifts

The Disguise Card could only be used to intimidate.

If the three forces worked together to attack the Evil Sky Pavilion, it would be disastrous. However, since the three forces had not resorted to working together. Otherwise, they would have made a move a long time ago. This was also due to the huge conflict between the three forces, and it was difficult for them to come to an agreement. This could be seen during the time in the Southern Kingdom’s Land of Chaos.

Following that, Lu Zhou decided to try the lucky draws. Who knew he might be able to draw some amazing cards?

“Lucky draw.”

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

“Lucky draw.”

“Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Obtained: Decomposition Card x5.”

‘Deconstruction Card? There was the Synthesis Card previously, and now, there’s a Deconstruction Card?’

Lu Zhou read the information of the item card: Deconstruction Card can be used to deconstruct items.

Lu Zhou thought it sounded like nonsense. He decided to give it a try first.

There were no item cards he was willing to deconstruct therefore he could only choose from his weapons.

Weapon: Unnamed(unknown), Jade Horsetail Whisk(heaven-grade), Magistrate Brush(super heaven-grade), Purple Glazed Ceramic (flood-grade), Cold Wind Trident(basic desolate-grade), Confinement Seal(intermediate flood-grade), Dragon Eagle’s Fury(intermediate desolate-grade), Flash Hook(intermediate desolate-grade), Sea Spirit Pearl (no energy)

“Unnamed can be deconstructed as well?” Lu Zhou was puzzled. Unnamed was his top weapon; it would be a loss to deconstruct it.

“Well… since the Sea Spirit Soul no longer has energy…”

Lu Zhou took out the Sea Spirit Pearl. The pearl in his palm was dim and even had some cracks.

He could not help but feel regretful. The Sea Spirit Pearl’s ability was extraordinary. Absolute Zero could be used at the most unexpected time. He did not expect its energy would deplete. Well, since things had come to this point, there was no point dwelling on it. There was no point in keeping it anyway.

“Deconstruct.”

“Ding! Deconstruct the Sea Spirit Pearl. Obtained: Obsidian essence x10.”

“Obsidian essence: a rare material to upgrade weapons to fusion grade. Each upgrade requires 100 obsidian essence.”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. Finally, he had the material to upgrade items to the fusion grade. He would start with the Purple Glazed Ceramic. Alas, 10 obsidian essence was too little.

He looked at the other weapons. Indeed, many of them were not much use to him. However, to the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion, they were pretty useful. After a while, he decided not to deconstruct them for now.

At this moment, Shen Xu walked into the hall and bowed. “Pavilion Master, an envoy from the Black Tower Council requests an audience with you. He’s currently waiting in the Political Announcement Hall…”

“An envoy from the Black Tower Council?”

Shen Xi said with a smile, “From the looks of it, he’s here to seek peace.”

“Bring them here.”

“Understood.”

Soon after, Shen Xu led several black-clad cultivators from the Political Announcement Hall to the Preservation Hall.

There were more than ten black-clad cultivators, and they entered the hall respectfully.

“Jiang Jiuli greets the old senior.”

One of the judges of the Black Tower, Jiang Jiuli, was clearly the envoy sent by the Black Tower Council to meet Lu Zhou.

“It’s you?” Lu Zhou was slightly surprised.

Jiang Jiuli smiled awkwardly and said, “Senior Lu has left an unforgettable impression on him ever since our meeting in the Southern Kingdom. I was shocked and in awe when I heard about Senior Lu’s strength during the battle in the Southern Kingdom. Moreover, I heard Senior Lu also displayed his might by dealing with the beast tide in the Southern Mountain City. For that reason, I came to visit you today.”

At this time, Yu Zhenghai and four elders walked into the Preservation Hall one after another.

Lu Zhou waved his sleeve, indicating there was no need for them to bow. He looked at Jiang Jiuli and said, “Didn’t you come with hidden motives? Did you really come with good intentions?”

Jiang Jiuli quickly waved his hand. “No, no, no. It was all a misunderstanding before. I came this time to resolve the previous misunderstanding and to make friends with Senior Lu as well.”

Lu Zhou said airily, “Can the Black Tower Council really overlook the fact that I killed Wu Guangping, a judge of the Black Tower Council, Shi Youran, the First Elder of the Black Tower Council, and numerous blackguards?”

Jiang Jiuli answered without any hesitation, “Of course! They were blind for offending Senior Lu; they deserved to be punished. To apologize, I brought something for Senior Lu.” Then, he waved his hand.

The boxes were opened one by one.

This scene was reminiscent of the time when Great Tang’s royal family sent gifts to Lu Zhou in Cloud Mountain.

The boxes contained black talismans, forging materials, various top-tier elixirs, and so on.

“I hope Senior Lu will accept it.”

Lu Zhou glanced at the boxes and asked, “And then?”

“The Black Tower Council only wants to forge a friendly relationship with Senior Lu. With our alliance, the Black Tower Council is willing to fully support the Evil Sky Pavilion. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the golden lotus domain, red lotus domain, or the black lotus domain. The Black Tower Council is really sincere,” Jiang Jiuli said.

Lu Zhou knew there was no sincerity in this world; the Black Tower Council only wanted to win him over. However, he had to admit their gifts were sincere enough.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “Then Shen Xi…”

“This is a small matter. Shen Shi was wronged in the Black Tower Council. It’s our loss now that he has chosen another master. Everyone has their own aspiration. The Black Tower Council has no intention of pursuing this matter…” Jiang Jiuli said.

Lu Zhou had to admit Xia Zhengrong seemed very sincere. Not only did Xia Zhengrong overlook the deaths of his First Elder and a judge, but he even endured his subordinate being poached.

At this moment, Meng Changdong hurried into the hall. He bowed and said, “Pavilion Master, the White Tower Council has sent an envoy here and requests an audience with the Pavilion Master.”

“The White Tower Council ?” Yu Zhenghai frowned and said, “It’s really lively today.”

“Bring them here.”

“Understood.”

Meanwhile, Jiang Jiuli frowned as soon as he heard Meng Changdong’s words. Inwardly, he was cursing the White Tower Council.

As soon as Meng Changdong led more than ten white-clad cultivators into the hall, Jiang Jiuli’s expression turned unsightly. “It’s you, Bi Shuo?”

The white-clad cultivator in the lead, Bi Shuo, walked into the hall with a smile on his face. He ignored Jiang Jiuli and cupped his fists at Lu Zhou. “The White Tower Council’s judge, Bi Shuo, greets Senior Lu.”

Lu Zhou felt Bi Shuo’s name sounded funny.

Bi Shuo continued to say, “The White Tower Council has some misunderstanding with Senior Lu previously so we came to clarify the matters. Nangong Yutian and Xu Chen offended Senior Lu first so they deserve to die. This junior brought some gifts in hopes to appease Senior Lu.”

‘Why are their lines almost the same? Was this planned?’

Jiang Jiuli chuckled before he said, “Bi Shuo, you’re really shameless? Is the White Tower Council so unoriginal that you have to copy me?”

“Copy you?” Bi Shuo said indifferently, “Jiang Jiulu, this isn’t a place where you can behave as you please. I came today to make friends with Senior Lu, and I have no intention to stoop to your level…”

Jiang Jiuli turned to Lu Zhou and said, “Senior Lu, I believe you can feel the Black Tower Council’s sincerity. I hope you’ll consider this carefully.”

Bi Shuo ignored Jiang Jiuli. Instead, he ordered his men to open the box.

The box contained talismans, pills that were beneficial to cultivators, and a few materials.

“To show our sincerity, our White Tower Council is also willing to offer ten fire spirit stones, one obsidian essence, and ten Heaven Cleansing Flower Pills!” Bi Shuo’s tone grew prouder at the end of his words. He continued to say, “The Heaven Cleansing Flower Pill is unique to the White Tower Council. They can increase the power of a Birth Chart.”

At this time, Jiang Jiuli’s expression had turned stiff. The White Tower Council was really ruthless to themselves; those three times were equivalent to ten ordinary Birth Chart Hearts!

Bi Shuo glanced at Jiang Jiuli smugly before he bowed and said to Lu Zhou, “Please accept these things, Senior Lu!”
