Chapter 310: Not Selling My Body
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li slept for a day and night. When he woke up, he rested his upset stomach for another four hours before he was fully recovered.
He was so drunk that he practically passed out but he did remember him drinking 16 goblets and that Jiang Qiling promised she would allow him to cultivate for 20 days for free.
After putting some things into his stomach, Lu Li went directly to the cultivation room. The steward had received orders from Jiang Qiling so he let Lu Li in immediately. Lu Li got into closed-door cultivation.
He had now understood the memories of the demon and what he lacked was practice. He cultivated here for two days before when he touched the surface of the skill.
It was like a master had borrowed a body to do a powerful sword moveset. Now, the owner of the body didn’t have to understand everything of the sword intention. He just had to copy every move till he could do the complete set.
It was easier said than done. Lu Li had the complete memory of the demon releasing the skill and he had memorized every move of it. Theoretically speaking, there shouldn’t be any problems.
No problems was the biggest problem in itself!
Lu Li had been in closed-door cultivation for 15 days. He had spent all his time in here, including when he had to dine, to sleep or to deal with nature’s calling. He had exhausted his means but he couldn’t release the skill. He could still only generate merely more than 10 clone shadows.
He leaned against a corner in the room, chewed prepared food, drank cold water, frowned and kept thinking.
“Where did I go wrong? Can’t I just release the skill without understanding the Profound Meaning of Mirror Image?”
Lu Li murmured. He must be following the wrong course since he made zero progress after such a long time. If he continued this way, he would be stuck for his entire life.
“Another direction? Another way?”
Lu Li’s eyes kindled. He quickly finished the food in his hands and sat with his legs crossed after some thoughts.
He wanted to try a new way. He planned to add the number of clone shadows first. Relying only on the Apparition Skill could already give him more than 100 clone shadows when the skill was at its most powerful state. This was the first goal Lu Li hoped to accomplish.
Five days later!
With a glare, Lu Li generated clone shadows, one, two, four and 100 in the end.
One hundred Lu Li running around in the cultivation room. There were so many of them that it was really unpleasant to the eyes and there was no telling of true and cloned ones.
That being said…
What the naked eyes couldn’t do could be done with psychic power. Those clone shadows were moving around with Lu Li, unlike what the demon had done which could let the shadows run to all directions up to the sky and into the ground.
Five days and Lu Li had already practiced his Apparition Xuan Skill almost to perfection. At the most powerful stage, the skill could only give more than 100 shadows and now there were already 100 of Lu Li. He was really close to the ultimate state.
Lu Li had been trying to practice this skill for quite some time before, but there were only more than 10 shadows. Now, in three days, Lu Li could generate 100.
This was not because Lu Li’s mind was sharpened. This was the demon’s doing.
After the demon stole the skill from Lu Li’s soul, it tried to practice with its own understanding and it managed to generate more than 60 shadows. In the memory fragments of the demon, there were ways to increase the number of shadows. Lu Li practiced according to the memory of the demon, so it was not surprising that he could make astonishing progress.
“Okay, good!”
Shadows gradually disappeared. Lu Li was very satisfied.
He had at least made some achievements in the 20 days of closed-door cultivation. He could generate 100 shadows and what he needed to do next was to combine the skill with Mirror Image to make his clone shadows more real that even Noble Lord Realm warriors couldn’t tell which one was which. By that time, he could also control his shadows to fly to all directions.
“I can master it sooner or later as long as I make some progress!”
Lu Li clenched his fists, sat in the corner and took out some food to eat after removing his mask a bit. He had been so focused on cultivation that he forgot it had been 20 days already…
“Creak, creak~”
Cabin door was suddenly pushed open. That steward walked in and indifferently said, “Young Master, your time here is up.”
“Really?”
Lu Li was still chewing food in a corner of the room. He raised his head to the steward and then turned to the cabin door. There was a pretty girl there as he had expected.
Jiang Qiling was here, leaning against the door. She was surprised to see Lu Li squatting in the corner, chewing food with his hair disheveled and his robes in rags, like a beggar.
She had seen hard-working people in her life, but there weren’t many as crazy as Lu Li. He didn’t seem to be someone poor and he must have come from a good family since he had two warriors of the Noble Lord Realm working for him. Then how come he had been cultivating so diligently?
“I’ll go now.”
Lu Li finished the food in his hands, straightened his mask and stood up. Jiang Qiling and the steward went out as well.
As soon as Lu Li came out, Jiang Qiling covered her nose and said, “Little man, you smell.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Li laughed and casually said, “Man should have manly taste. It makes me more like a man, doesn’t it?”
Lu Li strode into the wine cellar where there was a shower room. He took a shower and changed into a clean robe and walked out feeling quite comfortable.
Jiang Qiling was waiting for him outside. She wore a red dress today, not revealing but tight, accentuating her curvy and charming body. She was wearing a pretty shade on her lips, red like flames. That and her white skin and her enchanting facial features formed quite a shock to the eyes, mesmerizing to the senses.
Many men on the deck were looking towards Jiang Qiling with unconcealed lust and desire.
Jiang Qiling ignored them all and maintained her enticing smile. Looking at Lu Li, she said, “Little man, do you want to cultivate for free again? Oh… I forgot to tell you. I have booked the big cultivation room for a year, ha, ha.”
Lu Li rolled his eyes. The commander-in-chief of the merchant ship was Jiang Qiling’s grandfather. Was there any difference in booking or not booking for her?
Lu Li strode his wet hair and asked, “Do you want to drink again? Okay, I am an able drinker. Also, don’t call me little man. It’s not a pretty name. You can call me Young Master Li.”
“Young Master Li?”
Jiang Qiling tilted her head and smiled again. She shrugged her shoulder and said, “Come up with me. We will not be drinking today. Of course…I will never push you into anything you are not comfortable with. Put your mind at ease.”
“Alright~”
Lu Li nodded and followed Jiang Qiling to the second floor into her cabin. There was again very nice food in here and the Bloody Rose. Two maids were waiting the tables like last time.
Lu Li waved his hands to let the two maids go. then he took off his mask. Without saying any polite words, he grabbed the food and wolfed down. He acted quite at home.
He had been eating prepared food for many days and he would not pretend not to be moved by so much delicious food in front of him.
Jiang Qiling sat across him with her hand under her chins. She smiled and looked at Lu Li gobbling down food and wine without saying anything.
Lu Li paid no attention to Jiang Qiling. He wiped his hands after he had eaten and drunk to his heart’s content. He raised his head and said to Jiang Qiling, “I’m full, Lady Qi. Bring anything you want to do. I only sell my talents and not my body. That’s the bottom line.”
“Ha, ha~”
Jiang Qiling blinked her eyes and she grinned from ear to ear, so inviting. Her flames-red lips curved as she smiled, and she said softly, “What if I only want your body? Will you do it or not, Young Master Lu?”
“Young Master Lu?”
Lu Li squint his eyes. A glint of coldness and killing intent arose.
Jiang Qiling… knew who he was.
