At noon on the sixth day.
In the Artifact Refining Room No. 1 of the Cuizhu Palace Artifact Building, Lu Li was looking at the object in his hand with great joy.
The object was small, purple-gold, and shaped like a little swallow with its wings spread out. Apart from the one in his hand, there were twenty-nine identical objects placed on the stone platform next to him.
This is Qianji Thunderstorm. Of course, it is only a semi-finished product now. We still have to wait for Xiao Ling's talisman pen to be delivered and inscribe the explosive runes on it.
As for the spirit-taking, tracking and transformation runes, because of the special nature of the Thousand Planes Thunderstorm, Lu Li had already used his true energy to outline the little bird's body during the shaping process.
Otherwise, Lu Li wouldn't have needed to refine it for so long.
After collecting all the 'little birds' into the Space Palace, Lu Li left the weapon refining room. When he came outside, he found two people sitting cross-legged outside the door of the weapon refining room.
The two of them also discovered Lu Li at the same time, stood up hurriedly, and saluted Lu Li respectfully: Meet Elder Lu!
This elder looks so young, completely different from those old men.
During the process, the young man in green couldn't help being shocked. When he saw Lu Li looking at him, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Li.
Lu Li glanced at the two of them, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
He remembered that before the retreat, these two people didn't seem to be at Cuizhu Peak, right?
Hearing this, Jin Yuanbao quickly replied: "Reporting to Elder Lu, my name is Jin Yuanbao. I am eighty-eight years old. I used to be an outer deacon."
When the young man next to him heard this, he also said: "Reporting to Elder Lu, my name is Zhao Ping'an. I am sixteen years old this year. I used to be an outer disciple."
Outer disciple?
Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but look at Zhao Ping'an curiously, but he didn't know whether this person had become a regular servant from a handyman, or whether he had just started as an outer disciple.
If the entry level is an outer disciple, then this person's talent must be at least three spiritual roots.
However, he was just curious. What talent the other party had had nothing to do with him. He glanced at it and then looked back and asked, "Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Jin Yuanbao quickly replied, "That's right. Yesterday, the Great Elder came to me and said that Cuizhu Peak might need a steward and someone to guard the Sound Transmission Building. Let's come over and give it a try..."
"Great Elder? He's back?"
Lu Li remembered that Chu Qingxuan once said that Ouyang Riyao went out to investigate the affairs of the three sects in the south. Did the results come out so quickly?
But it was obvious that Jin Yuanbao didn't know about Ouyang Riyao leaving the sect, and he couldn't answer Lu Li's questions.
Seeing this, Lu Li didn't ask any more questions and led the two of them directly outside the mansion.
He knew about the Sound Transmission Tower.
There is a sound transmission tower at the mountain gate where each elder is located. There is a sound transmission jade inside, which is used to communicate with the boundary monument outside. However, Lu Li was busy refining weapons and didn't think much about it at the moment.
Ouyang Riyao couldn't possibly have anything to do, so he came to ask if anyone was guarding his sound transmission building.
Now that two people were suddenly sent over, it was definitely because someone from the outside world contacted him, but failed to contact him. That's why he felt that his sound transmission tower was unattended.
Soon, Lu Li stopped in front of the tower on the left outside the mansion gate.
The words 'Transmission Building' are written on the plaque above the arched door.
Lu Li pushed the door open and walked in. The interior was very simple, like a simple small bedroom, but in the middle of the bedroom was a three-foot-high carved stone pillar with a piece of sapphire inlaid on the top.
It is the sound transmission jade.
At this time, the spiritual light on the sound transmission jade flashed slightly, and it seemed that there was news.
Lu Li picked up the sapphire and shot a stream of true energy on it. An old voice suddenly came from inside: Elder Lu, please come to the Eastern Boundary Monument. Someone is looking for you.
After the words fell, the aura on the sapphire had not disappeared, and there was obviously a message.
Sure enough, about three breaths later.
The voice rang again: Elder Lu, come to the Eastern Boundary Monument quickly, someone is looking for you!
Three more breaths passed.
"Lu Li, are you here? Someone is looking for you!"
It wasn't until he finished saying this that the spiritual light on the sound transmission jade disappeared. The voice was very familiar to Lu Li. He heard it was the elder Lu who sent him to Yuxu Palace in the first place.
Here’s an explanation: Why not place the Sound Transmission Jade directly in Lu Li’s bedroom, but set up a separate first floor?
The main reason is that this sound transmission jade is for public use. It's okay for bachelor elders like Lu Li. If they are in other elder peaks, there are many disciples. They can use this sound transmission jade just like the elders.
You can't let the elder guard the sound jade at all times and act as a microphone for his disciples, right?
Therefore, there was such an existence as the Sound Transmission Building.
Lu Li put the Sound Transmission Jade back to its original position and looked at Zhao Ping'an, "Speaking of which, my Sound Transmission Tower is indeed short of manpower. In this case, you will help me guard the Sound Transmission Tower. Are you willing?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ping'an was immediately overjoyed and quickly bowed and saluted, "Yes, yes, as long as I can stay here, I'm willing to do anything..."
The spiritual energy here is so rich that it is impossible for people from the outer sect to enter such a place without having any connections. It is really worthwhile for him to be friends with this senior brother Jin and take him here for a visit.
Seeing that Zhao Ping'an actually implemented it first, Jin Yuanbao couldn't help but be a little envious.
Although he is an outer deacon, his talent is actually very average. He has always wanted to become a member of the major elder peaks, but he has been rejected many times. This time he finally got a chance, and it doesn't look like he has much hope. Already...
Because this young elder doesn't seem to like the excitement, otherwise, there wouldn't be only one person here, but a silly girl...
But at this moment, Lu Li spoke again, "Your name is Jin Yuanbao, right? It's quite a festive name. I think your cultivation is pretty good, so let's stay and be a steward.
After all, there are two low-level monks up here. It's not easy for them to go down the mountain. There are some things that I need you to do for me. Do you think that's okay? "
"Yes, yes, I can fly, and I am willing to serve the elder..." Jin Yuanbao never expected that the reason why he stayed was actually because he could fly.
If other deacons from the outer sect heard it, their eyes would turn green with envy.
Lu Li nodded, gave a brief explanation, and left Cuizhu Peak, heading towards the eastern boundary monument.
Because he was in a hurry, Lu Li was not afraid of wasting his true energy and rushed as fast as he could. About an hour later, he finally arrived outside the fog in the east.
What surprised Lu Li was that it was not Xiao Ling who came, but Yue Hong.
"Benefactor."
Seeing Lu Li coming out, Yue Hong quickly came over and saluted.
Yue Hong must have been here yesterday. Lu Li felt a little sorry and said apologetically:
"Brother Yue, thank you for your hard work. I was too busy yesterday and didn't pay attention to the Sound Transmission Jade. I kept you waiting for a long time..."
