Chapter 36: Received A Flying Dagger
They arrived.
Lu Li felt nervous as he looked at the entrance of the cave.
Bai Jinfei led a group of people and slowly entered the cave.
The person behind Bai Jinfei was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had a pale face and was elegant and handsome. He was dressed in green and carried a white sword. His eyes were like stars and he looked like a celestial being that had descended from heaven.
A purple-masked elder was beside him. He had a powerful and frightening aura. He was also a demigod.
A group of people followed closely behind them.
Li Jing was among them.
Lu Li saw Li Jing.
Their eyes met, but they did not say anything.
“Junior Brother Li, Congratulations!”
The green-clothed middle-aged man cupped his hands and congratulated him casually.
“You’re welcome, Hell Master. Please take a seat.”
Demonic Devil narrowed his eyes and waved his hand casually. He did not stand up to welcome him.
Lu Li only knew that Demonic Devil’s surname was Li.
The middle-aged man in green in front of Lu Li should be Li Jing’s master, Hell Master!
Then, the purple-masked elder beside Hell Master cupped his hands and said, “Demonic Devil, I didn’t expect that you actually became a demigod. I thought you would be dead before becoming a demigod! Congratulations!”
He did not conceal the hostility in his words.
“Flying Fox Monster, you b*stard! After you!”
On the white bone chair, Demonic Devil coldly replied.
“You b*stard!”
When the purple-faced elder heard this, his eyes immediately opened wide, and his face flushed red.
Suddenly, he lightly snorted. “If there’s time, I would like to see how strong is your Mystical Transformation Technique!”
“Anytime. Have a seat.”
Demonic Devil’s expression was indifferent.
“Hmph!”
The purple-faced elder flicked his sleeve, and in a flash, he sat on a seat on the upper left.
Hell Master also floated over and took his seat.
Li Jing and the others were led by a maid and sat at a table.
At the same time, Yao Yao voiced out, “Hell Master gifted a low-grade spiritual treasure. Flying Fox Monster gifted 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Blood Demon gifted 1,000 middle-grade spirit stones. They wish Master a long life.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.
Demonic Devil’s expression was terrible.
Useless gifts!
Middle-grade spirit stones? Demonic Devil had a lot of spirit stones!
In addition, qi refining cultivators used spiritual tools. Foundation stage cultivators used magical tools. Jin Dan stage cultivators used spiritual treasures. Demigod stage cultivators used magical treasures. These were common knowledge.
A low-grade spiritual treasure as a gift?
He was looking down on Demonic Devil!
Demonic Devil’s expression was awful, and his whole body was emitting a cold murderous aura.
Lu Li, who was standing next to him, immediately sensed it.
However, he did not change his expression.
It was not the right time for Demonic Devil to challenge them.
Soon, another guest arrived.
“Heavenshaker has arrived!”
Accompanied by Bai Jinfei’s loud shout, a tall giant entered the hall. The earth and the mountains were shaking when he walked.
A purple-clothed child followed closely behind the tall giant.
“Yo, Demonic Devil, you’re not dead yet? Congratulations!”
The corner of the giant man’s mouth curled up as he greeted Demonic Devil. He casually threw out a piece of white jade that was full of spiritual energy.
Yao Yao voiced out, “Heavenshaker gifted one high-grade spirit stone. He wishes Master a long life.”
Demonic Devil’s expression looked more awful than before.
1 high-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones.
Nothing much.
“Take a seat. Get a bigger stone bench for this big guy,” Demonic Devil ordered with a terrible expression.
“Yes.”
The maid replied and went to change the stone bench.
Soon after, Heavenshaker sat down next to Hell Master and Flying Fox Monster. They started to chat enthusiastically.
From time to time, they would let out deafening laughter.
They did not care about Demonic Devil at all.
It was awkward!
“…”
Demonic Devil’s face was so gloomy.
Lu Li, who was watching from the side, felt embarrassed for him.
It seemed that Demonic Devil really did not have any friends in the Netherworld Ghost sect.
Suddenly, another person came.
This time, it was a Jin Dan stage cultivator.
As soon as he entered the cave, he formally and politely congratulated Demonic Devil and gave him a gift.
It was a high-grade spiritual treasure.
Not a bad gift.
Then, Demonic Devil and the Jin Dan stage cultivator began to chat awkwardly.
The atmosphere was not that awkward anymore.
Not long after, the guests came one after another.
Most of them were Jin Dan stage cultivator.
They saw that the atmosphere was not right, and they did not want to offend the wrong person, so they simply found an excuse to leave.
2 hours later, the sun was high up in the sky.
It was almost noon.
There were a total of 20 people sitting in the middle of the hall. However, it was not lively at all.
Among them, there were 3 demigods who came from other Demonic sects.
Their gifts were useless. Their gifts were not even worth 100 middle-grade spirit stones.
Obviously, they came here to challenge Demonic Devil.
Lu Li stood next to Demonic Devil, and he sensed the murderous aura from his Master. It was so cold that Lu Li felt uncomfortable.
In addition, he had been standing there for almost the whole morning, and he had not received a single gift.
Demonic Devil really did not have a lot of friends in the Demonic sects.
“Lu Li, whoever provokes us later, just kill them!”
All of a sudden, he heard a cold voice.
Lu Li was shocked. With a solemn expression, he cupped his hands and said, “I understand. Leave it to me, Master.”
“Crimson Lord has arrived!”
At this moment, Bai Jinfei shouted loudly and led two women over.
One was about 30 years old and wore a blue robe. The lady still had her charm as she looked stunning. The other woman was 28 years old, and she wore a green robe. The younger woman looked gorgeous too.
Lu He!
“Junior Brother Li, congratulations on advancing to the Demigod stage. This magical treasure is called the Soul-Devouring Stick. It’s a gift from me. I hope you can reach Immortal stage as soon as possible.”
The woman in blue said with a faint smile.
Her voice was soft and gentle.
As she spoke, Lu He took out a long wooden box that was framed with a red ribbon. She held it with both hands and handed it to Yao Yao.
“Thank you very much, Crimson Lord. Please take a seat.”
Demonic Devil’s expression softened a little, and he stood up to welcome them. At the same time, he also voiced out, “Bring us some good tea!”
“Thank you.”
The blue-robed woman slightly bowed, and her smile was soft and beautiful.
Soon after, she sat on the upper right and nodded at Hell Master, Flying Fox Monster, and Heavenshaker.
Hell Master and the others also nodded in return.
It seemed that Crimson Lord was quite well known in the Netherworld Ghost sect.
Lu Li thought to himself.
At this time, he caught a glimpse of Lu He, who was standing behind Crimson Lord, blinking at him. She was looking at him as she smiled.
Lu Li smiled back at her too.
Everyone in the hall saw it.
However, they all had different expressions.
There were also a few sharp and hostile gazes that swept over Lu Li, as if they were looking at a rival.
So many people fancied her?
Lu Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
All of a sudden, he felt as if someone was looking at him
Crimson Lord was staring at Lu Li.
She was sizing up Lu Li from head to toe.
Lu Li felt as if his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys had been seen through. He felt as if he was naked, and he could not hide anything from her.
Huh?
In the next moment, Crimson Lord exclaimed in surprise.
She seemed to have discovered something, and a trace of puzzlement flashed through her eyes.
“Junior Brother Li, is this young man your new true disciple, Lu Li?” Crimson Lord asked in a soft voice.
“Yes, Lu Li, why don’t you pay your respects to Crimson Lord?”
Demonic Devil turned his head and said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li immediately took a step forward and cupped his hands to greet Crimson Lord. “Lu Li pays his respects to Crimson Lord! I wish you look pretty for the rest of your life! I wish you have the power that is comparable to that of a celestial being!”
As soon as these words were said, everyone looked at Lu Li strangely.
Lu He, who was massaging Crimson Lord’s shoulder, was also stunned for a moment.
“You cheeky fellow. You’re really sweet.”
Crimson Lord smiled at Lu Li. With an elegant wave of her fair hand, a three-inch-long small golden dagger appeared in her palm.
“This is the Golden Dagger, a high-grade magical tool. Consider it my first meeting gift to you.”
Lu Li turned his head to look at Demonic Devil.
“Since it’s a gift from Crimson Lord, you can keep it. Why don’t you thank her?” A long-lost smile appeared on Demonic Devil’s face.
“This… Thank you for the gift, Crimson Lord!”
Lu Li’s face lit up, and he held the dagger with both hands, preparing to receive it.
At this time, Crimson Lord gently picked up the small golden dagger and placed it in Lu Li’s palm.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, her slender fingers lightly touched Lu Li’s palm.
Her fingers were very soft.
However, it was as if an invisible qi had entered Lu Li’s body. It was circulating around his body too.
Ding!
A system notification immediately sounded in his mind.
[Your Purple Clouds Sun Refining Sutra has sensed the existence of the qi of the Daoist sect. Its heart is filled with admiration and excitement. Your cultivation speed has increased by 10,000%.]
Almost in an instant, his Purple Clouds Sun Refining Sutra started to cultivate automatically.

It kept spamming non-stop.
