The Invincible Dragon Emperor 1268 Space-Time Office

"I am looking for some item!"

Lu Li said coldly because he was not in the mood for amus.e.m.e.nt. The old man took him to the first corridor on the left. Over a hundred feet later, they turned to a crossroad and arrived at a side chamber.

Inside the chamber, Lu Li wished he could waste no time. He came right to the point, "I want citizens.h.i.+p. How much is it?"

"Citizens.h.i.+p?"

The old man frowned. Lu Li just now gave the doorkeeper five hundred Divine Sources. How come someone so wealthy not a citizen?

But the old man did not ask other questions. He answered, "Citizens.h.i.+p of Vicissitude House is cheap, about one hundred thousand Divine Sources but for other prefectures, the price is higher."

"One hundred thousand?"

Lu Li curled his lips. He felt they were extorting money from him. However, he had to be humble when he was trapped in an inferior situation. He nodded, "Okay. One hundred thousand it is. How long is it going to take?"

The old man hesitated and said, "Three days usually. If you are in a hurry, then you have paid an extra of twenty thousand Divine Sources. You can get it in half a day."

"c.r.a.p!"

Lu Li was speechless. This Black Mountain Palace was dishonest. They were extorting him for another time. Lu Li bit his teeth. "Aren't you too mean? I can accept the one hundred thousand Divine Sources for citizens.h.i.+p and now you have restrictions on time?"

"Young Master, it's not like this…" The old man explained in patience. "You need to build connections and send powerful warriors to nearby cities quickly. Over there, you have to bribe someone as well or else…"

"Alright, alright. One hundred twenty thousand it is. Get it done!"

Lu Li was losing patience. The ring on his hand glowed as he threw a pile of Divine Sources on the ground. "Here are fifty thousand. You will get the rest upon delivery."

"Sure. No problem!"

The old man put away all the Divine Sources and took out a bottle. "Young Master, we need three drops of your blood. I will get people to it right now. It will just take half a day."

Lu Li provided three drops of blood. Then, he walked out. "I have some business to take care of. I will be back in half a day."

The old man bid Lu Li farewell with respect. Lu Li activated the Cloaking Armor when he was sure that n.o.body followed him outside. He turned invisible and found a place to rest.

He did not trust the Black Mountain Palace. They may accept his Divine Sources and at the same time turn him in to the Vicissitude House. If he had stayed inside the cave, he could be surrounded by a group of prefecture warriors and no escape would be possible.

Not long after wars, several people came out from the Black Cliff and they flew away in a Beast of the Void. Lu Li waited in patience. Half a day later, those people came back into the cave.

Lu Li waited a moment to make sure that there were no prefecture warriors or other pursuing forces. Afterward, he showed himself and entered the cave.

The old man showed him to that side chamber and provided him a cyan jade talisman. "Young Master, this is your ID token. With this, you will be regarded as a citizen of Vicissitude House."

Lu Li took it over. He noticed a trace of spiritual link with the jade talisman. The word "Vicissitude" was written on it. Lu Li had seen the same jade talisman before. Many prefecture warriors carried such jade talismans.

"Okay~"

He was relieved to have citizens.h.i.+p. At least, he could go in and out of cities at will and go to s.p.a.ce-time Office for teleportation.

He did not hurry away for now. He asked, "Do you have Crystal Blood on sale?"

Lu Li had only one piece of Blood Crystal left, which meant the strongest tool he had, the warlord skeleton, could only take one move. Once he encountered foul enemies and the last piece of Blood Crystal was used, he would have to wait for his doom.

"Blood Crystal?"

The old man frowned. He took out a catalog and browed it. Then, pointing to a red crystal, he asked, "Are you talking about this?"

Lu Li took a look. "Yes. How much is it?"

"We do not have any on stock and will have to go to our headquarters. There won't be a large quant.i.ty there, either. Blood Crystals are rare."

The old man kept on reading the material. "The price is at least one hundred thousand Divine Sources per piece. It will take over half a year to get the Blood Crystals from our headquarters. Young Master, if you want it, you can provide a down payment so that I can contact our headquarters."

"One hundred thousand?"

Lu Li blinked in shock. The warlord skeleton would spend one hundred thousand Divine Sources per move. If the warlord skeleton were to take one hundred moves, that would be ten million Divine Sources.

Of course, Lu Li understood that as a black market, the Black Mountain Palace would sell things times the market price, even dozens of times.

"Not now. I will come back when I have such needs. Well… can you give me a map of the nearby region?"

Lu Li was ready to leave. The old man handed over a hidden scroll and said with a smile, "I can give the map to you for free. You will always be welcomed at the Black Mountain Palace."

Lu Li paid the final payment and left. Soon, he turned invisible. He even took a detour around here and was completely relieved after he made sure that the Black Mountain Palace did not send anyone to tail him.

He took a look at the map. The nearest city was tens of thousands of miles away. He could not linger on here any longer and hurried away as fast as he could.

In two hours, he arrived in the city. He did not go in at once. Instead, he walked around to make sure everything was fine. Then, he showed himself and strode into the city.

There were guards at the gates. But the guards would not bother the ones wearing ID token by checking them.

Lu Li hung the jade talisman on his belt and stepped into the city. The prefecture warriors at the gates cast some glances at him but paid no attention. Just like this, Lu Li found himself inside the city.

"Alright!"

The moment Lu Li stepped into the city and saw the neatly arranged buildings along the streets, he felt he could breathe again.

He hurried to the city north because all the Teleportation Formations were at the plaza there. He must teleport to a major city nearby and find the s.p.a.ce-time Office.

He could teleport one city at a time but the distance to Valley of Relics was long. It would take him at least a year to travel in this way.

The Valley of Relics was not within the territory of Vicissitude House, but the Southern Sun Prefecture. There were two other prefectures in between.

At the plaza in the city north, Lu Li paid Divine Sources and stepped into a Teleportation Formation. After a flash of light, he arrived in a huge city.

"s.p.a.ce-time Office!"

Lu Li stepped out of the Teleportation Formation and his eyes were caught by a huge, black castle to the left of the plaza. On the front carved the words "s.p.a.ce-time Office."

"Cabinet of Mystery, Hall of Stakes, Craftsmen's Sect!"

Lu Li noticed three other similar castles. The four super forces all had field offices in the major cities in Divinity. That was true.

"Move~"

A moment later, Lu Li walked to the castle of the s.p.a.ce-time Office without hesitation.
