Unlimited Investment in the Destined Protagonist: Forging an Eternal Immortal Clan - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Extremely Frustrated Elder of Langya Heavenly Sect, Another Golden Investment clansman, Generous Investment Rewards!

It had been more than three hours since Lu Tianming left Langya Heavenly Sect.

At this moment, Lu Tianming was speeding over a vast mountain range. Suddenly, three rapidly approaching familiar figures appeared in his perception.

“Damn it, they’ve caught up already!” Lu Tianming’s expression shifted slightly as he exclaimed aloud. Without hesitation, he put away his jade flying chariot, flipped his hand, and a Ten-Thousand-Li Void Escape Talisman appeared in his grasp.

As he infused it with spiritual power, his entire figure turned into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.

“I never expected that kid to still have a Ten-Thousand-Li Void Escape Talisman on him!”

“Hmph, does he think he can escape with a Ten-Thousand-Li Void Escape Talisman?”

“Let’s see how many Ten-Thousand-Li Void Escape Talismans he has!”

The three elders stopped at the spot where Lu Tianming had disappeared, snorting coldly. Then, the three elders fully activated their cultivation, transforming into streaks of light and chasing after him at full speed.

Thousands of miles away, Lu Tianming’s figure reappeared, and he immediately communicated with Old Ming in his sea of consciousness.

“Old Ming, lend me your power. Can we kill those three?”

After a moment of silence, Old Ming’s voice sounded: “Kid, even if I lend you my power, with your current body, you can only exert the peak strength of the Spiritual Pill Realm at most, and it won’t last long. Among those three, all are Soul Palace Realm experts. I can only help you avoid being killed by them. Killing them head-on is unlikely!”

Hearing this, Lu Tianming’s mind raced. Although he had Ten-Thousand-Li Void Escape Talismans, he only had three, which wouldn’t allow him to shake off the trio by much.

“It seems if there’s no other choice, I’ll have to use the Nether Spring Blood Shadow Secret Technique to escape. I hope I can hold out until I reach the family!”

Just as Lu Tianming was pondering, Old Ming spoke up with a suggestion.

“Kid, don’t you have the talent of Beast Heart Clarity? Head toward the mountain ranges immediately and control some demonic beasts to delay those three for a while.”

Hearing this, Lu Tianming’s eyes lit up. It was indeed a viable plan. However, his Beast Heart Clarity talent hadn’t yet reached full mastery, so he couldn’t control too many powerful demonic beasts, but it could still buy him some time.

Without hesitation, his figure flickered, and he darted into the vast mountain range. And so, Lu Tianming controlled demonic beasts along the way to hinder the trio’s pursuit while he used every escape method at his disposal to flee.

Twice, Lu Tianming borrowed Old Ming’s power and fought two of them, but each time, he couldn’t hold out for long and had to resort to secret techniques that consumed some of his vital blood to escape.

Along the way, Lu Tianming’s face grew paler and paler, but thanks to this, he finally managed to enter Beiyuan County swiftly.

Beiyuan County, a hilly region.

“Damn it, that kid slipped away again!”

The three Langya Heavenly Sect elders stood in midair, their faces dark with frustration, watching Lu Tianming escape from their grasp yet again. They had thought capturing Lu Tianming would be easy, but they hadn’t expected him to have such a powerful force aiding him, which left them stunned.

Not only that, but all along the way, various demonic beasts had attacked them chaotically and desperately.

This left them utterly exasperated.

Every time they thought they were about to capture Lu Tianming, he would immediately use an extremely powerful secret technique to escape.

“Chase!”

Having pursued him this far, how could they give up halfway?

In an instant, the three transformed into divine rainbows and vanished from the spot.

In a plain area, Lu Tianming’s figure flickered into existence. After sensing his surroundings for a moment, his heart leapt with joy.

“Not far now—less than a few tens of thousands of miles to Zhenhai City!”

Seeing that he wasn’t far from his family, Lu Tianming immediately took out a transmission talisman, spoke a few words into it, then waved his hand, sending the jade talisman off as a streak of cyan light.

Then, he once again used the Nether Spring Blood Shadow Secret Technique, his figure turning into a blood-red line that vanished into the horizon.

Half an hour later.

Outside Zhenhai City, beyond Sky-Supporting Island.

With a flash of blood-red light, Lu Tianming’s figure finally stumbled out of the void and fell downward. This scene immediately caught the attention of the clansmen stationed outside Sky-Supporting Island.

“Hey, that person looks a bit familiar, kind of like Brother Tianming.”

“Look, isn’t that Brother Tianming? Wasn’t he cultivating at Langya Heavenly Sect?”

As the crowd murmured in confusion, a figure shot out from the Lu Royal Mansion and caught Lu Tianming just before he hit the ground.

The person who darted out from the mansion was none other than Lu Qianchuan, the intelligence overseer who had been promoted to Second Elder.

“Child, you’ve worked hard. You’re safe now that you’re back.”

Lu Qianchuan helped the deathly pale Lu Tianming up and immediately handed him a pill to swallow. Not long ago, he had received Lu Tianming’s transmitted message, and the moment Lu Tianming appeared in the sky, he had sensed it.

Seeing Lu Tianming recover slightly, the Second Elder immediately brought him into the mansion.

Shortly after, the Second Elder led Lu Tianming to Lu Qingxuan’s palace.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Upon entering the hall, the Second Elder and Lu Tianming first bowed, then the Second Elder got straight to the point.

“Your Highness, this is our clan member who was cultivating at Langya Heavenly Sect, named Lu Tianming. I mentioned him to you before. Now, he has uncovered news about that matter and has come specifically to report!”

Hearing this, Lu Qingxuan’s eyes brightened, and his gaze shifted to the young man beside the Second Elder.

[Name: Lu Tianming]

[Cultivation: True Spirit Seventh Stage]

[Aptitude: Superior]

[Comprehension: Moderate]

[Talent: Beast Heart Clarity]

[Fortune: A month ago, to avenge his deceased contracted beast, the Sky-Splitting Dragon Sparrow, he went to Tuocang Mountain Range to kill a Purple-Winged Fierce Lion. Unexpectedly, he gained the favor of a remnant soul of a Heaven-Devouring Nether Sparrow and made a deal to help it reconstruct its Physique!]

Seeing Lu Tianming’s detailed information, Lu Qingxuan was almost certain that this fortune must have been obtained so easily due to the clan’s luck boosting him.

Indeed, the higher the clan’s luck, the better the clansmen’s fortunes!

But just then, the system’s voice rang out.

[Ding! Detected a golden investment target. Would the host like to initiate an investment?]

Lu Qingxuan hadn’t expected Lu Tianming to be a golden investment target. The rewards from this should be substantial!

[Ding! Investing one drop of True Dragon Essence Blood and one Earth Dragon Beast Egg will yield the True Dragon Heaven-Binding Technique and a clan guardian beast—juvenile Northern Abyss Mysterious Kun!]

[Ding! Investing the “Seven Spirit Vortex Transformation” Secret Technique will yield the supreme secret technique “Nine Transformations of the Calamity Dragon”!]

[Ding! Investing one high-tier heavenly spiritual herb, Six-Leaf Soul-Luring Lotus, and two thousand superior spirit stones will yield five hundred random heavenly spiritual herbs and fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones!]

[Ding! Investing one superior heavenly treasure will yield one random king-tier treasure and two random high-tier heavenly treasures!]

Seeing such generous investment rewards, Lu Qingxuan’s heart surged with delight.

However, he didn’t invest immediately. Instead, he first asked Lu Tianming to report the important matter.

Then, Lu Tianming began recounting all the information he had gathered from soul-searching Feng Yu, as well as his desperate escape back to the family, informing Lu Qingxuan of everything.

After hearing Lu Tianming’s report, Lu Qingxuan’s eyes glinted with a chilling light.

When his elder brother and other clansmen were vying for opportunities overseas, they had indeed been ambushed and killed by Langya Heavenly Sect’s people. And now, Langya Heavenly Sect had even set their sights on the Lu Royal Mansion.

At this moment, whether it was old grudges or new, how could Lu Qingxuan let Langya Heavenly Sect off?

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Lu Qingxuan stood up and walked over to Lu Tianming.

“For obtaining such crucial information this time, your contribution is immense. It’s good that you made it back safely. Leave everything else to the family!”

As he spoke, Lu Qingxuan took out a storage ring and handed it to Lu Tianming.

“This contains the family’s reward for you. Take it!”

Lu Tianming was slightly surprised and couldn’t help but glance at the Second Elder, Lu Qianchuan, beside him. Seeing Lu Qianchuan nod slightly, Lu Tianming accepted the storage ring and bowed in gratitude: “Thank you, Your Highness!”

As Lu Tianming’s voice fell, the system’s feedback sounded in Lu Qingxuan’s mind.

[Ding! Investment successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: True Dragon Heaven-Binding Technique, one juvenile Northern Abyss Mysterious Kun, Nine Transformations of the Calamity Dragon secret technique, five hundred heavenly spiritual herbs, fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones, two high-tier heavenly treasures, and one random king-tier treasure!]

[Ding! Randomly generating two high-tier heavenly treasures: Obtained Crimson Sun Glazed Sword and Forbidden Calamity Sky-Piercing Shuttle!]

[Ding! Randomly generating one king-tier treasure: Obtained Great Wilderness Spirit-Nurturing Halberd!]

[True Dragon Heaven-Binding Technique: A unique offensive technique of the True Dragon Clan, overwhelmingly powerful!]

[Juvenile Northern Abyss Mysterious Kun: A void beast in its juvenile stage, equivalent to Nirvana Realm Ninth Stage cultivation. Naturally adept at devouring, spatial, and water powers, with limitless potential!]

[Nine Transformations of the Calamity Dragon: A supreme secret technique exclusive to the True Dragon Clan, possessing nine unbelievable divine abilities!]

Hearing the cascade of reward notifications, Lu Qingxuan was overjoyed.

Even True Dragon divine techniques and the supreme exclusive secret techniques of the True Dragon Clan were included—this left Lu Qingxuan deeply satisfied.

There was even a rare juvenile Northern Abyss Mysterious Kun, a void beast practically unseen in the Northern Cold Prefecture!

Golden investments indeed yielded incredible returns!

But just then, a deep, mountain-like voice resounded throughout the entire Lu Royal Mansion.

“Langya Heavenly Sect has come to pay a visit!”

Hearing this, Lu Tianming’s expression shifted slightly. “They’re here!”

Lu Qingxuan remained calm and patted Lu Tianming’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. This is the Lu Royal Mansion. No one can do anything here! Let’s go. First, let’s collect some interest from these people!”

With that, Lu Qingxuan led Lu Tianming out of the Lu Royal Mansion.
