But then I thought about it, and something seemed wrong.
Yuwen Wenshu and Ning Wuzhou are old acquaintances, and they have benefited a lot from this person. With Yuwen Wenshu's character, he shouldn't do such a thing, right?
In other words, Yuwen Wensheng already has a solution. I asked Ning Wuzhou to come to me just because I wanted to lend my hand and send a favor to Ning Wuzhou so that the other party would recognize me.
"Brother, what's going on? Is there any way?"
Seeing that Lu Li didn't speak for a long time, Ning Wuzhou thought that Lu Li was hesitating whether to help him or not, so he couldn't help but said: "As long as you can help me break through this threshold, brother, you can make whatever conditions you want!"
Lu Li shook his head when he heard this: "Brother, I misunderstood. This is not a matter of conditions. In fact, I can't help you with your difficulties, brother!"
Hearing this, Ning Wuzhou felt disappointed. He suddenly grasped something and his eyes lit up: "For now? You mean, you can help me in the future?"
Lu Li was stunned, "I can't guarantee that."
Lu Li thought it would be better to check with Yu Wenshu first to see what the other party was thinking about leading Ning Wuzhou to him, so he didn't go too far with his words.
Although Ning Wuzhou was a little disappointed when he heard this, he thought it was better than having no hope at all. Moreover, he had always respected Yuwen Wenshu like a god, and felt that since Yuwen Wenshen had directed him to find Lu Li, there must be a reason.
So he smiled and clasped his fists, "Then, brother, you have to worry about this! If you really help me solve this problem and help me escape from this situation, if you have any difficulties in the future, brother, just ask, I will take care of you and be on call. arrive!"
"Brother Ning is out of town. Although you and I have known each other for a short time, we feel like old friends at the first sight. If you are in trouble, brother, you should do your best to help me." Lu Li returned the greeting with a smile and cupped fists.
"Haha! Okay, now that brother Lu has said this, I feel relieved! Come on, brother, I will lend you flowers to offer to the Buddha, and give you a drink!" Ning Wuzhou was in a good mood and raised his cup to offer tea.
Lu Li naturally agreed with a smile and started chatting and laughing with Ning Wuzhou.
During the chat, Lu Li was very curious about the effects of the power of time, so he said that he wanted to see it. Ning Wuzhou did not refuse, and even showed his hand to Lu Li.
He glanced at a flowerbed below, and saw no changes in the surroundings. Instead, he saw hundreds of flowers in the flowerbed that had not yet bloomed, suddenly unfolding their petals, and after a while, they quickly withered, and then returned to the flowerbed. Blooming, withering... dozens of breaths, it reincarnated two or three times.
Lu Li was filled with admiration and listened to Ning Wuzhou telling some interesting things about the cultivation world and asking for some cultivation knowledge. It was not until evening that Ning Wuzhou left Lingyun Mountain with a smile.
Chan Bao lay on the table, looking at the withered flower bed below, curling his lips, "This old man is very bad, and the flowers that were blooming were turned into this by him."
Lu Li laughed and said, "It's okay. Those flower rhizomes are still good and they will recover in a few days."
With that said, he took out the Mountain and River Token and handed it to Chan Bao: "I'm going to practice in the cave. You take this. If Yuwen Wen or Brother Ning comes over in the future, you let them in. Remember."
"I understand, Master."
Chan Bao took the mountain and river order and stuffed it into his arms, "Are you going to go into seclusion again?"
Lu Li shook his head, "No, I'm just refining Dao Yun this time. I can come out at any time, but if nothing happens, just don't disturb me."
"Oh fine."
Chan Bao glanced at the dark sky and muttered, "I don't know what Xiao Bu Dian and Xiao Qing are doing at this time, as well as Zhao Ji, Jian Pi, Mingyue..."
Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but fell silent.
Then he shook his head, "Everyone has their own way to go, and they may also be working hard for their own ideals."
"Ideal? What would their ideal be?"
Chan Bao was thoughtful, then he squeezed out his two dimples and looked at Lu Li happily, "Anyway, my ideal is to always accompany my master."
"Silly girl."
Lu Li rubbed Chan Bao's head, then took out a jade box to put some fortune leaves in, and put them on the table, "Let's drink it when you're bored. I'm going to practice."
Chan Bao grabbed the jade box and put it under her pink face. She turned her head and slowly closed the stone door, murmuring, "Thank you, master."
The cave is not very big.
There were two stone beds arranged inside, the smaller one in the west belonged to Chan Bao, and the large bed in the east belonged to Lu Li.
There is a strip-shaped stone table in the middle. On the stone table are some strange-shaped stones that were not seen before. They must have been picked up by Chan Bao out of boredom over the years.
Lu Li accidentally glanced and found that these stones were actually engraved with words. He picked up a few and looked at them. He found that they were numbers and didn't know what they represented. After looking at them for a few times, he put them back on the table.
Then he came to the bed and lay down, entered the Time Palace and started practicing.
The only three attributes he can currently improve are the Golden Wood Thunder.
Because the remaining four Tao seeds of water, fire, earth, and darkness are still at the peak of the integration bottleneck and cannot be improved by absorbing the Tao aggregates.
After deliberation, Lu Li took the lead in taking out the Purple Spirit Bronze and began to cultivate the metallic Dao Buds.
His plan is to start with metal, then wood, and finally with the Tao Seed of Thunder, because the thunder-carved old wood in the medicine garden has just manifested the Tao Yun, and it may take some time before it can be used.
It is really not that easy to cultivate Mahayana-level Tao buds. Even if there are middle-grade Tao buds like Ziling Bronze, the progress is much slower than that of the combined-level Tao seeds.
In the following days, Lu Li devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining, which lasted for more than fifty years.
He finally relied on the Purple Spirit Bronze and the Golden Needle Vine in the warehouse to raise the Golden Dao Bud to the initial bottleneck, and the familiar shackles of the Dao were wrapped around the golden Dao Bud.
It took more than sixty years for the outside world to reach a bottleneck in the manifestation of the early Dao Buds. This was unimaginable for most people, but Lu Li had nothing to be happy about.
Because his Time Palace is blessed with forty times the flow rate, which means that it actually took him more than two thousand years to refine it this time.
Lu Li walked out of the cave, chatted with Chan Bao, relaxed for a while, and then continued to practice.
Next, there’s the Wooden Path Bud.
Lu Li didn't have middle-grade Mu Daoyun, so he had to rely on low-grade Mu Daoyun.
Fortunately, over the years, he has accumulated a lot of low-grade Ningqingzhu in his warehouse.
This time it took longer than the last time. It took a full sixty-five years for him to finally let Mu Dao Ya show his bottleneck.
At this point, the two Mahayana buds of gold and wood have reached the initial bottleneck. If they can be impacted again with the help of the middle-grade treasure land, they can enter the middle stage of Mahayana.
Finally, the Tao Seed of Thunder is left.
This is currently the lowest level of Taoism, only the initial level of integration.
At present, the Dao Yun of the Diao Lei Old Wood has been completely plump, and the whole tree exudes a heart-stopping aura. Lu Li did not cut off the main trunk, but only took some branches.
On the one hand, he feels that the Tao Yun on these branches is enough for his current use.
On the other hand, he felt that there was still room for growth in the Dao Yun on this main trunk, and it was not impossible to even directly become a middle-grade Dao Yun.
The effect of the branches of the Thunder-carved Old Wood was even better than Lu Li imagined. In just over four years, the Thunder Technique was raised to its initial bottleneck.
Lu Li had to pause again and continue to understand this bottleneck.
With Lu Li's current cultivation level, it was much easier to understand the bottleneck of the combined level than the Mahayana level. Even without the blessing of the treasure land, the progress was quite good.
On this day, Lu Li was meditating in a small pavilion outside.
Chan Bao, who was playing below, suddenly used the Mountain and River Order and opened the southern formation. Immediately afterwards, a ball of golden light flew towards Lu Li.
