Chapter 84: System upgrade
"Ping'an, where did you learn your weird defense technique? I don't intend to ask more, but as Lu Tianwang said, the fur is too wicked."
"So, in order to avoid trouble, you'd better wear this seven-ling robe in the future."
After Lu Songyin’s introduction, Lu Ping’an learned that this seven-ling robe is made from the feathers of seven species of birds.
When the Qi Ling robe is contaminated with the aura from the wearer's body, it will reflect irregularly to the surrounding light, making it difficult for the enemy to see the appearance, and the size can be adjusted freely.
Although it can't directly increase the offense and defense, it is a magic weapon of the middle rank of the mysterious order!
Originally, this Qi Ling robe was prepared by Lu Songyin for himself, and used it with the Dragon Que sword technique.
But considering that the reward he had prepared was too light, he still gave up his love and gave it to Lu Pingan.
"Haha, really, I can't see it clearly."
When the Qiling robe's rank was so high, Lu Ping'an was so excited that he couldn't take much care of it, so he put it on.
Sure enough, after opening the thorny armor, in the bronze mirror, only some of his hands and neck were brownish, and the specific details were completely invisible.
Moreover, in addition to the above camouflage effect, Qi Lingpao can also make Tai Chi's fist path more difficult to capture.
For Lu Pingan, it is very useful.
In this way, after receiving all the rewards one by one, Lu Ping'an said goodbye to Lu Songyin, and left the island in the heart of the lake happily.
...
The Chen family land, the back hall of the Patriarch's Mansion.
"Patriarch, someone is asking to see you outside." Chen Xici came to the door and asked for instructions.
"Who?"
Chen Julu, who was guarding the bedside of the unconscious Chen Hao and pacing back and forth, asked impatiently.
After swallowing three Shengling Pills, under the influence of side effects, Chen Hao's physical condition became extremely bad. The broken arm could not be connected, and it was necrotic.
The thought of his only son becoming crippled at a young age made Chen Julu feel uncomfortable.
"The visitor claims to be... a person from the White Horse Gate. He said there is a way to cure Haoer's injuries." Chen Xici hesitated and replied.
"Huh?" Chen Julu immediately walked to the door when he heard it, opened the door, and said nervously, "Quick! Take me there!"
If the other party was from the White Horse Clan, it would indeed be able to cure Chen Hao, but Chen Julu had no idea of happiness at all.
The White Horse Gate, the most mysterious in the territory of Cangwu, is also one of the most fascinating and disillusioning sect forces.
Although it has been accused of being a demon cult and has been surrounded by decent forces from all sides on many occasions, the White Horse Gate has survived to this day, and has a history of hundreds of years.
Compared with Baimamen, if the Chen family is a soybean, then the former is a watermelon.
The difference in power is a world of difference.
"Why, why should I mention Haoer in particular..."
In the dark, an ominous premonition flooded Chen Julu's heart.
That night, Chen Julu talked about midnight with an elderly man wearing a hood in the reception room of the mansion.
Early the next morning, the old man secretly took away Chen Hao who was in a coma.
From beginning to end, the only people who knew that this old man had been there were Chen Julu, Chen Xici, and the Duancha maidservant at the three famous palaces.
However, apart from Chen Xici, the other three were silenced by Chen Julu before dawn.
...
"What! Did you just say that Chen Hao was dead?"
Lu Pingan learned of Chen Hao's death when he came to see Hu Ling at the City Lord's Mansion the next day.
He could hardly believe this.
"This is what City Lord Tian said this morning. I heard that after the young man woke up, because he couldn't accept the failure, his mind went into a frenzy, he went to the clan to kill him, and finally died of exhaustion."
Guan Xiantu explained in detail on the side.
"The City Lord..."
Although Lu Ping'an was surprised by Chen Hao's death, it was definitely a happy event for him. After all, he had lost an enemy.
On the other hand, he noticed the change in Guan Xiantu's name for Tian Sheng.
It seems that the traitor who killed the brother and took the throne finally got his wish and became the official city lord.
"Master Lu, according to the old man's understanding, that Chen Hao is the only son of the Chen family head. He died of you to some extent, so you have to be careful these days."
Seeing Lu Pingan's indifferent look, Guan Xiantu's tone sank, reminding him of advice.
He had seen too many enemies fighting in his life, separation and gathering, and Lu Ping's future, Guan Xiantu didn't care.
But the key point is that Lu Pingan is still entrusted by Hu Ling. In a period of time, or before he completes his mission, he must not die.
"Junior understands, then, that..."
Lu Ping'an bowed slightly towards Guan Xiantu, then turned his gaze, Hu Ling looked cold after he entered the door, without saying a word.
At this time, Hu Ling was standing in the corner of the room, facing him sideways, playing with his hands a rattle that was probably bought from a small street vendor, dingdongdingdong, immersed in it.
"Ahem, Your Highness, the old man is going to prepare to return to Luotian City, so I will leave first."
Guan Xiantu understood Hu Ling's temperament and knew that it was inconvenient for him to be present at this time.
"Hey, don't you want to say something?"
After Guan Xiantu's footsteps faded away, Hu Ling asked aloud.
"Um...Thank you for testifying for me yesterday." Lu Pingan grinned dryly.
"anything else?"
Hu Ling stopped turning the rattle, and his tone became more aggressive.
"Otherwise, it's the admission token of Jixia Academy. Didn't you let me pick it up yesterday."
Lu Ping'an was keen in mind and naturally knew what Hu Ling meant, but he still deliberately changed the subject.
"Good, you ungrateful thing!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Ling suddenly exploded his fur like a kitten, "Just say thank you and it's all over? Do you know that I will take the risk for your security."
While asking softly, Hu Ling threw the rattle in his hand directly towards Lu Ping An.
Lu Ping's eyes were quick and quick, and he caught the rattle accurately, and said with a smile: "Hey, don't be angry, I was playing with you."
There is no way, just as the so-called eating people's mouth is soft, making people's hands short, Hu Ling came forward in time yesterday, which really helped him a lot.
And depending on the other party's posture, if you don't agree, you probably don't want to get the admission token.
"Then you promised to help?" Hu Ling's tone eased a lot when he heard it.
"Well, I will definitely participate in the Squadron." Lu Ping'an nodded solemnly.
The husband said it was difficult to chase the horse. Although this is not helpful, for Lu Ping An, being able to compete with young talents from all over is also a rare opportunity for promotion.
"Huh, it's almost the same."
Receiving a positive answer from Lu Ping’an, Hu Ling’s pretty face finally burst into a smile, "The admission token is in that drum, let’s reward you together."
In this way, Hu Ling, who was finally on his mind, left Wanqiu City happily at noon that day.
...
Time flickered, and more than twenty days passed.
Lu Pingan, who received the admission token, was not in a hurry to go to Jixia College, and still remains in Wanqiu City.
During this period, he refined the 30 mysterious low-grade spirit stones rewarded by Lu Songyin, and hunted spirit beasts with all his strength in Daxu Mountain, and steadily raised his realm cultivation to the nine-fold peak of martial art.
At the same time, the bloodline bar No. 1 damaged by the devouring system has also completed self-repair.
On the other hand, after Chen Hao's violent death, the Chen family has been very low-key in recent days, and Chen Julu has not been able to retreat, leaving the family affairs to Chen Xici.
Island in the heart of Taihe Lake.
"Peace, it's not that I drove you away, but that the situation is a little bit grim these days. In short, you must set off within these two days."
Lu Songyin summoned Lu Pingan to the front with a solemn expression.
Chen Julu is his old adversary, and the two of them know each other well.
In Lu Songyin's view, the Chen Family's low-key state at this time is like the tranquility before a stormy night. Chen Julu must be brewing a plot to avenge their Lu Family.
And under the blow of the loss of his son, no one knew how crazy Chen Julu would act.
At this juncture, Lu Pingan absolutely can't stay longer in Wanqiu City.
"Okay, I will leave early tomorrow morning."
In fact, the reason why Lu Ping'an stayed late was not because of laziness, but because he still had an important thing to solve.
It just so happened that after hunting a group of spirit beasts in Daxu Mountain today, the time was finally ripe.
Back at the old house, Lu Pingan closed the doors and windows, locked himself in the room, activated the Devouring System, and instructed him to upgrade.
"Option confirmation, system upgrade is successful
System level: 3
Current blood value: 305/1000, blood value required to upgrade: 695
New features are optional:
1. Blood vein sharing, the blood veins stored in the blood vein bank can be distributed to others at the host's wishes. Note: High blood vein value is required.
2. The aura absorption efficiency of spirit stones and animal cores has been increased to 50%.
3. Clear blood vessels, which can remove excess blood vessels in the blood vessels. "
A long period of system announcements came, and at this point, Lu Pingan's devouring system was officially upgraded to level 3.
Although the other two new functions sound great, Lu Pingan has no intention of studying them now. He only cares about the first bloodline sharing function.
"Unlock the bloodline sharing function." Lu Pingan Dang even instructed the system.
"The instruction is received, the function is unlocked, and the bloodline value is deducted 200 points. Note: After that, for each person sharing, another 100 points will be deducted. The interval between two sharings shall not be less than 30 natural days."
"Fortunately, just enough."
Lu Pingan muttered softly, then pushed open the door, and shouted to Uncle Bai who was cleaning the fallen leaves in the courtyard, "Uncle Bai, don't be busy. Come in, I have a surprise for you."
