I'm Beloved By All Due To My Investment (Patreon)

Chapter 73: Has Senior Li Xun not arrived yet?

Upon entering Zhentian City, the Grand Zhou Dynasty had already arranged accommodations for various sects.

After finding his residence.

Elder Xie dismissed the other disciples, leaving only Li Xun. "Elder, is there something else you need to instruct me?" Li Xun asked curiously.

"Indeed, there are some things I need to advise you on."

Elder Xie's expression was solemn. He extended his spiritual awareness, covering an area of several hundred meters, blocking the probing of outsiders, before speaking, "Junior Li, someone will invite you for a gathering shortly. You can agree to it, but after attending, you must adhere to your own position."

"Do not easily express your stance."

"Oh?"

Li Xun raised an eyebrow, quickly understanding Elder Xie's implied meaning.

In the mundane world, there were struggles for power and profit, and in the fantasy world, it was even fiercer. The stronger one's power, the higher one's status, representing access to more resources. More resources could propel one further ahead!

Without any surprise, the person Elder Xie mentioned inviting him was likely someone from the Grand Zhou Dynasty, considering Li Xun's current reputation as a young genius.

"In the Grand Zhou Dynasty, the Crown Prince and the Third Princess are in fierce competition. Only these two have the qualifications to become Divine Emperor."

"These two, each one not easy to get along with, so be extremely cautious, Junior!" Elder Xie added, expressing some concern.

"Understood," Li Xun nodded.

As he finished speaking, not far away, a servant dressed in blue approached with large strides.

Seeing the newcomer, Li Xun and Elder Xie exchanged glances, both thinking: Here they come!

"Lord Li Xun, my master requests your presence!"

The servant bowed slightly and spoke as he arrived in front of Li Xun.

With Elder Xie's previous advice, Li Xun had no hesitation. He nodded and said, "Lead on."

Guided by the servant, they arrived outside his residence. A luxurious jade carriage was already prepared. Li Xun boarded, and after about a quarter of an hour, they stopped in front of a grand mansion.

Li Xun got off the carriage, observed the mansion before him, and easily discerned the divine light radiating from it. Countless symbols adorned the air, shining brilliantly. It was a formidable array, with enough power to suppress even experts in the Life-Death Realm once activated!

Li Xun squinted his eyes. The fact that his residence was protected by such a powerful array suggested that the owner of this mansion likely held a high status. Even if it wasn't the Crown Prince mentioned by Elder Xie, it probably was the Third Princess.

"Lord Li Xun, please follow me."

The servant in blue stood before Li Xun, speaking respectfully before leading the way.

Li Xun followed behind. After passing through several corridors, they reached an expansive lake. At the center of the lake, a palace towering dozens of meters high emitted faint laughter.

"My master is inside. Due to my humble status, I cannot lead Lord Li Xun further. Please forgive me."

The servant bowed apologetically and departed.

Li Xun glanced at the departing servant before turning his gaze to the palace at the center of the lake. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to step forward when the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

【Ding, congratulations, Master. You've encountered a purple-tier investable target. Invest in the Enlightenment Pill, and you will obtain a High-Grade Dao Weapon – Mind-Clarifying Bodhi Seed!】

"Hmm?"

Li Xun's expression changed.

The system, silent for nearly a month, unexpectedly spoke up at this moment, presenting him with a pleasant surprise.

A purple-tier investment!

Since obtaining the system, he had only encountered two purple-tier investments – Jiang Taixuan and Qin Xueyi. Other than these two, he hadn't seen any other purple-tier investments.

Unexpectedly, today he encountered the third one.

Moreover, It was a High-Grade Dao Weapon!

Dao Weapons were a whole grade higher than Spiritual Treasures. If he remembered correctly, the entire Xuanyang Sect had only one High-Grade Dao Weapon as its town sect treasure.

‘Fortunately, I didn't consume the Enlightenment Pills earlier. Otherwise, I might have missed this purple-tier investment today.’

Li Xun felt a sense of delight in his heart.

The Mind-Clarifying Bodhi Seed, Li Xun wasn't sure about its specific effects, but one thing was certain – with the term "Dao Weapon" attached to it, its value must be extraordinary.

Even if Enlightenment Pills were precious, they couldn't compare to a Dao Weapon!

Thinking about this, he looked towards the nearby palace. Without a doubt, his purple-tier investable target was probably inside.

In the palace, a celestial mist enveloped the surroundings, creating an atmosphere resembling a fairyland.

At the jade table, over a dozen figures were engaged in cheerful conversations.

Behind the jade table, a robust figure wearing armor lifted a jade cup, took a sip, and chuckled, "Has Daoist Friend Li Xun from Xuanyang Sect arrived?"

"Your Highness, someone has been sent to invite him. If nothing unexpected happens, Daoist Friend Li Xun should be arriving soon."

Someone spoke softly.

"This Daoist Friend Li Xun is said to have reached the middle-stage of the Profound Core Realm within only two years of cultivation. I wonder if the rumors are true. Could he be a genius nurtured by Xuanyang Sect with elixirs?"

A young figure, surrounded by divine light, spoke lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Although he was not yet twenty-five years old, he had been practicing for over a decade. He had joined Xuanyin Sect in his childhood, but until now, he had only reached the early stage of the Profound Core Realm.

He often regarded himself as a genius, but Li Xun's appearance shattered his pride. Li Xun, with only two years of cultivation, had reached the middle-stage of the Profound Core Realm.

This comparison made his talent seem somewhat embarrassing.

"Rumors are not limited to this. It is said that Daoist Friend Li Xun killed three extraterritorial demons just over a month ago. Those extraterritorial demons have not appeared in the cultivation world for billions of years. Now that they have, Daoist Friend Li Xun killed them. When Daoist Friend Li Xun arrives, you can ask him what those extraterritorial demons looked like."

The figure in armor hinted with mysterious meaning.

Among the dozen or so people present, a considerable number didn't believe that Li Xun had actually killed extraterritorial demons. After all, those extraterritorial beings had not appeared in the cultivation world for a very long time. Many considered it mere hearsay.

The existence of such beings beyond the world was uncertain, and some even speculated that Xuanyang Sect deliberately embellished its disciple's achievements. Creating a sensation was common, and almost every sect worked to promote its outstanding disciples. But, in their view, Xuanyang Sect seemed too exaggerated.

The young member of Xuanyin Sect shook his head, saying, "In my opinion, Li Xun is just a name without substance."

However, just as his words fell, a purple figure suddenly appeared in the palace.

"If I'm just a name without substance, what about you?"
