Chapter 1043: Generous Li Luo

While Qin Yi seethed with resentment, Li Luo waved his hand, and the Enlightenment Cores flew out. Li Fengyi, Li Fuling, and the others from the Dragon's Fang Lineage each received one.

Li Luo had collected quite a few bottles of these cores back in the main house, each one containing quite a number of them. As such, he did not affix too much value on them, considering he had dozens of them. In fact, most of the treasures in the thatched cottage paled in comparison to the real treasure, the Divine Cultivation Serum.

Everyone from the Dragon's Fang Lineage received their gifts happily. Even Li Fuling forced herself to cheer up a little, and blood returned to her pale face.

Following this, Li Luo turned towards Li Guan and the others from the Dragon's Scale Lineage. They had been hungrily staring at Enlightenment Cores entire time like a ravenous beasts eyeing a piece of meat.

"It's been a pleasure working with the Dragon's Scale Lineage. I hope there will be more opportunities to collaborate with you in the future." Li Luo took out three Enlightenment Cores and flicked them towards them.

"Unfortunately, I do not have many Enlightenment Cores, so I am unable to give one to each of you. If you all don't mind, I hope this will be enough."

After saying this, Li Luo opened his palm, revealing dozens of black crystals. These were the same crystals that Qin Yi had taken out earlier, each with some traces of the energy from the Origin Enlightenment Fruit.

In fact, these objects were remnants from the refinement of the Divine Cultivation Serum. The White Ape had discarded them like trash, but Li Luo had gathered them all up.

Clearly, Li Luo did not place much emphasis on them, but they were extremely attractive to the others since they contained traces of energy from the Origin Enlightenment Fruit.

Using them as gifts for the masses was the perfect choice to win their hearts over.

Li Guan got hold of the Enlightenment Cores first before he hurriedly received the black crystals. Behind him, Lu Qingmei and the other members from the Dragon's Scale Lineage were delighted. Li Luo had given out quite a handful, so they would all be able to receive a share.

All of a sudden, everyone from the Dragon's Scale Lineage was looking at Li Luo with eyes full of gratitude.

"Haha, Dragon's Head Li Luo, you are truly generous. I am sure someone as capable as you will enter the Dragon's Fang Guardians soon, so we'll surely have more opportunities to work together. I'll surely share good words about your generosity when we return to the Dragon's Scale Guardians. I am sure our commanders will be very excited to hear about it."

Li Luo was already a three-pearl, and his growth would be limited if he continued staying in the Twenty Banners. He would have to join the Dragon's Fang Guardians, which acted on a greater scale, if he wanted to obtain more cultivation resources and opportunities.

Besides, Li Guan had grown a lot more optimistic about Li Luo's future after this expedition. The fellow was a monster through and through. There would surely be a massive upheaval when he entered the Dragon's Fang Guardians in the future. He might even stand out when he joined the Heavenly Dragon's Five Guardian Armies, where all the elites from the different generations of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li had gathered.

Li Luo grinned when he heard his compliments. He glanced over at the Dragon's Horn Lineage and the Dragon's Bone Lineage and casually threw two Enlightenment Cores and some black crystals in their direction.

"Since we've fought side by side, take these and distribute them amongst yourselves. However, I don't know if Brother Li Wuyuan will stand for this."

The leaders from the Dragon's Horn Lineage and the Dragon's Bone Lineage glanced at each other briefly before turning towards the fuming Li Wuyuan. In the end, they ignored him and kept the gifts from Li Luo. After all, they had only taken the Dragon's Blood Lineage as their leader because they would be rewarded for doing so. However, Li Wuyuan had barely accomplished anything, and his own gains were barely enough to share, so he couldn't really blame them for defecting to Li Luo.

"Thank you, Dragon's Head Li Luo." The leaders from the Dragon's Horn Lineage and the Dragon's Bone Lineage expressed their gratitude as well.

Li Luo waved his hands and brushed off their thanks. He knew that these small perks would not be enough to sway the relationship between the Dragon's Horn Lineage, the Dragon's Bone Lineage, and the Dragon's Blood Lineage. Not that any of that mattered. Numerous small actions would eventually accumulate over time and result in the tide changing.

After this, Li Luo turned towards the emotionless Li Wuyuan. He said with a sigh, "Brother Wuyuan, I've always known that you are an upright and unyielding individual. I'm sure such trifling offerings don't mean much to you. I'll understand if you don't wish to accept these meager offerings, so I'll give them to our brothers from the Dragon's Bone Lineage and the Dragon's Horn Lineage if you aren't interested."

He opened his hand once again, and everyone could see two more Enlightenment Cores and a few black crystals.

The corner of Li Wuyuan's eyes twitched a little when he heard his almost sanctimonious words. Deep down, he truly wished to ask Li Luo to scram with those items. After all, he wouldn't stoop down and beg for such treasures with his status. However, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the others from the Dragon's Blood Lineage were staring at the objects in Li Luo's hand with feverish desire. If he chose to reject this offering, it would undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction amongst his lineage members. This would ultimately be detrimental to his reputation amongst them as well.

More particularly, the Dragon's Bone Lineage and the Dragon's Horn Lineage were watching his actions with great anticipation on the tips of their toes, eagerly awaiting his rejection. Being stuck between a rock and a hard place made him feel even more furious.

"These damned juniors are simply too disloyal!"

In the end, Li Wuyuan stretched out his hand and groaned forcefully, "I have to thank you, Dragon's Head Li Luo, for your generosity."

Hearing this, Li Luo tossed the treasures over to him as well.

With that final distribution, his hands were finally cleaned out of Enlightenment Cores. Qin Yi heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this.

However, before she could even finish sighing, Li Luo took out yet another handful of dazzling Enlightenment Cores.

"Senior Zong Sha and Senior Jiang, come over here. It seemed we share a connection with each other since we had the opportunity to cross paths here. In the future, I may need your help to navigate the Heavenly Origin Ancient College as well. Please take care of me then." Li Luo walked towards the group from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College as everyone watched with eyes wide open. He handed two Enlightenment Cores over to the stunned Zong Sha and Jiang Wanyu.

Zong Sha swallowed his saliva and asked with a little embarrassment, "We're part of this as well?"

Jiang Wanyu pursed her red lips lightly as she stared at the Enlightenment Cores. Her unyielding personality made her want her to turn these gifts down as she had not done anything to deserve them. The mind was strong, but the flesh was weak. She immediately said without any hesitation, "Junior Li Luo, you are simply too kind. When you do visit the Heavenly Origin Ancient College in the future, feel free to let us know if you need any assistance."

Hearing this, Zong Sha followed her cue and accepted the gifts with a warm smile. "Brother Li Luo, do you plan to come to the Heavenly Origin Ancient College in future? We'll surely give you a warm welcome then."

Li Luo took the opportunity to exchange a few words with the two of them to express his intentions as well. The plan was that after taking a good rest at the Dragon's Fang Lineage, he would most likely head straight over to the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. After all, he had to pass Jiang Qing'e the Nine Marks Sacred Heart Lotus as soon as possible. Hence, it was to his benefit to keep good relations with them. Zong Sha and the rest would surely report what had happened to them upon their return. This would be a good chance for the higher-ups to also learn of him.

After settling things over here, Li Luo walked over to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu and took out two Enlightenment Cores for Zhu Zhu and Zhu Dayu.

Zhu Zhu was a little taken aback by this. After all, the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu had not lent a helping hand to him when he was fighting the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao earlier.

"Brother Li Luo, we did not provide any assistance and do not deserve this. Just give us some of the black crystals to satisfy our greed and that will do," Zhu Dayu said, feeling embarassed.

"Well, you didn't side with the others either, right? That can be considered a kind gesture. Besides, if you accept my gifts now, I'm sure you won't idly stand by when I need help in the future. Right?" Li Luo said jokingly.

Zhu Dayu nodded firmly. "Of course. I'll definitely side with you next time, Brother Li Luo!"

After which, he whispered to Li Luo, "Those birds that appeared earlier were produced by an art from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhu, and they passed on some information. The people outside are very concerned about the unexpected developments in the Spiritual Resonance Cave. I'm unsure of how the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao obtained this information, but they accused you and Li Lingjing of assisting the Others in sneaking into the cave. You should return to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li as soon as possible, before the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao takes action."

Li Luo's eyes lit up when he heard those helpful words. The Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao had suffered a massive setback with the death of Zhao Yan, who had been killed by Li Lingjing and him. They would undoubtedly be agitated and wish to reclaim some face back for their bloodline.

"Thank you," Li Luo whispered back.

As Li Luo captivated the hearts of those he had gifted Enlightenment Cores to, Qin Yi's side was getting a little antsy after seeing Li Luo pull out two large handfuls of treasures. As such, they quickly turned around and walked into the energy vortexes before them, quickly disappearing from the scene.

Out of sight, out of mind.

When she left, the people from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, Mu Yao and the Golden Dragon Bank, and those from the Devil Fire Hall followed and left too.

Zhao Shenjiang shot Li Luo a cold glare and his mouth moved, transmitting a message into the latter's ears.

"Li Luo, don't be too happy right now. This is not over yet!"

Li Luo's expression did not change despite the threat. He then made his way to Elder Sister Jin. Finally, he passed two more Enlightenment Cores to her before asking, "Elder Sister Jin, do you know how to undo the Qing'er's seal?"

Elder Sister Jin had already calmed down after her initial shock. "I believe the Young Mistress has activated the remnant Sacred Seed energy within her body. As this energy is quite mystical, I am afraid I'll have to bring her back to the mountain as soon as possible to resolve it."

Li Luo nodded. "If you do need any help, feel free to look for me."

He paused to think for a moment before taking out a jade bottle. It contained the Limit Breaking Heavenly Dew he had obtained from the thatched cottage. This was the most precious treasure he had collected apart from the Divine Cultivation Serum.

Li Luo then split the dew into two equal portions. He was not planning to keep the other part for himself—it would be given to Li Jingtao as he was currently just one step away from the quasi ninth-grade. With the assistance of the Limit Breaking Heavenly Dew, the chances of him succeeding in a breakthrough would rise greatly. "Elder Sister Jin, please take this with you. When Qing'er wakes up later, please pass it to her."

As soon as she looked at the jade bottle Li Luo had handed her, she could sense how valuable it truly was. She nodded subtly. After all that the young mistress had gone through for him, Li Luo had at least demonstrated that he possessed some conscience.

After taking care of all these matters, Li Luo looked at the cave's surroundings once more. It seemed like there were still countless mysteries hidden within the depths of the Spiritual Resonance Cave. However, he was simply not qualified to explore it right now. There would be opportunities to return in the future. With that, he waved and said goodbye to the rest before walking into an energy vortex decisively.

Then countless figures were swallowed by other vortexes.

A few moments later, the cave was utterly silent. When it inevitably reopened in future, there might very well be a change in the environment yet again.
