Chapter 190: Chapter 115: Ruan Liuli, One of the Top Ten with Great Potential in Viscera Refinement_2
Ruan Liuli was acutely aware
that her potential was greatly diminished,
by at least one-third compared to before.
The reason why her potential hadn’t been completely drained
was primarily because the medicinal strength of the second-generation Yellow Grade intermediate Epiphyllum Elixir had somewhat weakened.
…
After Ruan Liuli’s breakthrough in cultivation and standing up,
the remaining twelve individuals also rose to their feet.
The one with the highest cultivation level, like Ruan Liuli, was at the Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage.
However, even including Ruan Liuli,
there were only three at the Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage.
Seven were at the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage.
The other three, whose talent in cultivation was slightly inferior,
were at the Bone Refinement Perfection realm.
It was clear, however, that those three who had not broken through to the Organ Refinement Realm
were significantly more powerful than the ordinary practitioners of Bone Refinement Perfection.
…
As these Death Warriors experienced their breakthroughs in cultivation,
Luo Changfeng, situated in a mysterious courtyard within the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi City,
immediately received this news.
“Three at Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage, seven at the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage, and three at Bone Refinement Perfection?” Luo Changfeng mused underneath the Stone Pavilion in the courtyard upon hearing the message.
He couldn’t help but nod silently to himself.
Out of thirty-five individuals, having ten achieve the Organ Refinement Realm status was quite impressive.
“You’ve worked hard…” Luo Changfeng said softly to the “old servant” beside him after sipping from the cool tea in his hand.
“This is what I should do,” the servant replied, bowing his head slightly, then added in a low voice, “Master, besides, among those thirteen individuals, there is a girl codenamed White Lotus who seems to have only expended one-third of her potential, while most of the others have completely exhausted theirs…”
Luo Changfeng squinted slightly, “White Lotus?”
After pondering for a moment, he instructed the servant beside him in a low voice, “Have her come to me…”
As Luo Changfeng finished speaking,
the servant beside him vanished within the small courtyard.
Shortly after, a girl dressed in black appeared next to Luo Changfeng.
The girl, codenamed White Lotus,
was not tall and still bore traces of youthful immaturity.
Her pale skin became even more striking against the black clothes she wore.
“Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage?” Luo Changfeng looked at the White Lotus before him who was somewhat bowing her head as if not daring to look directly at him.
A hint of a smile emerged on his otherwise unchanging face.
It seemed that he had stumbled upon a treasure.
A girl who had only lost one-third of her inherent potential despite the ravage of a second-generation Yellow Grade intermediate Epiphyllum Elixir was certainly no ordinary individual.
Even after taking the Epiphyllum Elixir,
one usually needed a year or two worth of rest before they could consume it again.
“What is your name?” Luo Changfeng asked after a long silence.
After swallowing nervously,
Ruan Liuli tried to appear as respectful as possible, “White Lotus.”
“I mean your real name, not your codename.”
This time, Ruan Liuli paused for a moment before she revealed her name, “Ruan Liuli…”
…
After a brief interaction,
Ruan Liuli carefully left the courtyard.
At this moment, within the grounds where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resided,
Luo Changfeng was once again left alone.
“Ruan Liuli?” Sipping tea leisurely under the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng contemplated the girl with impressive talent
who didn’t hesitate in the face of slaughter.
He nodded to himself with a smile.
Perhaps, he could focus on nurturing this young one named Ruan Liuli in the future.
…
The next day, early in the morning,
the sky was still a dull gray haze.
The temperature was still slightly chilly all around.
Within Luo Mountain Prefecture, Yellow Mountain County,
where the Lu Family, the leading clan force in Yellow Mountain County, was located,
numerous clan members hurried towards the Lu Family grounds.
About ten minutes later,
within a hall on the Lu Family grounds,
many high-ranking members of various clan forces had already gathered.
“How’s the situation, Lu Family Head?”
“What does the Huai Shui County Luo Family say?” someone couldn’t restrain their emotions and spoke up.
“The Luo Family from Huai Shui County is not a simple existence,” another person said with excitement. “If they’re willing to join hands with our families in Yellow Mountain County,
we could wipe out those bandit forces within three years.”
However, Lu Jun, the current Family Head of the leading Lu Family in Yellow Mountain County, displayed neither excitement nor happiness on his face
but instead a hint of helplessness.
“There’s been no response from the Huai Shui County Luo Family…” Lu Jun replied in a low voice, eliciting looks of disbelief from the others.
After all, the Luo Family was the unified power that had extinguished the Chen Family, Feng Family, and Tang Family in Huai Shui County!
Now that the Luo Family in Huai Shui County had been stealthily attacked by White Lotus Stockade,
shouldn’t they have mobilized their forces to retaliate immediately?
And then, their families from Yellow Mountain County could also conveniently lend their aid to the Luo Family.
