DRAGON EMPEROR

CHAPTER 22 Changes Brought By Power

The meeting's over. The next day, Lu Ming, Li Ping, and Qiu Yue moved back to the King's Residence once again.

As he stood before the gate of the residence, his mind was filled with various thoughts.

All of this was thanks to the changes caused by the advancement of his strength.

If he were still the trash whose blood meridians had been taken away, he would not be able to save his own life, let alone return to the King's Residence. Moreover, Li Ping and Qiu Yue would also not be able to live a smooth life.

However, everything changed due to his sudden awakening. Not only did he completely disrupt Lu Yunxiong and Lu Yao's plans, but he also retook the King's Residence. Li Ping was also guaranteed a comfortable life from now on.

As the descendant of the main bloodline of the Lu Family, Lu Ming could succeed as a Sovereign whenever he wanted to as long as he wanted.

However, that is far from enough as all of this is just the beginning. Lu Ming knew that there was a greater challenge waiting for him in the Mystic Sword Sect. He couldn't slow down for a second.

“Ming'er, come on in. Room has been tidied.” Li Ping smiled as he walked out with the sword in his hand.

The Council of Elders sent four special young servants to serve Li Ping and Lu Ming, so that the King's Residence was immediately cleared of the possessions of Lu Yao and the others.

“Ming'er, now that you already have a foothold in martial arts, you should use the spiritual weapon sent back by your father!” Li Ping handed the sword in his hand to Lu Ming.

This sword, which Lu Chuan had taken away, once again returned to their hands.

Lu Ming nodded and picked up the sword as he walked into the residence with Li Ping.

After returning to his room, he started cultivating.

After consuming the Spirit Soul Pill a few days ago, his cultivation surged from the First Grade Warrior Realm to the beginner of the Third Grade Warrior Realm. After ascending two levels at once, it was inevitable that his foundation would falter, therefore he needed to consolidate it.

After developing the True War Dragon Technique for several hours, Lu Ming entered the Supreme Temple and began to develop his martial arts skills.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the eighth day, Lu Ming was cultivating in the Supreme Temple when he felt a commotion outside, so he proceeded to exit the Supreme Temple.

She heard Qiu Yue's voice coming from outside her room as she came out. “Young Master, Lu Bing is here to pay his respects.”

“Lu Bing?” Surprised, Lu Ming opened the door and walked out.

Qiu Yue nodded. “Young Master, do you want to meet him?”

“Of course. Why not?" Lu Ming smiled.

When he reached the living room, he saw Lu Bing pacing around anxiously.

Lu Bing smiled as soon as he saw Lu Ming. “Master Ming, you've finally come!”

Lu Ming noticed the change in the way Lu Bing called out to him. He smiled weakly as he sat on the main seat in a daze. “Why did you come to me?”

Lu Bing suddenly clenched his fists towards Lu Ming. “Master Ming, I came to apologize today. I'm blind to your previous talents and even offended you before. I hope you are generous enough not to hold grudges.”

“Lu Bing, the Fifth Branch Elder asked you to come, didn't he?” Lu Ming asked.

"You're right. My father asked me to come, but it was in line with my goals as well. Mr. Ming, there are 5,000 pieces of silver here which I hope you will gladly accept.” Lu Bing took out a stack of silver banknotes and handed them to Lu Ming.

"alright. Qiu Yue, help me accept it.”

Lu Ming smiled. To be honest, he had never thought of Lu Bing, but since he had come to apologize with the money in hand, why didn't he accept it?

Qiu Yue went up to take the silver money, her little face flushed red with excitement. He had never seen that much silver money before!

Even though it hurt Lu Bing, she forced a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Ming, I'll go now.”

Right after Lu Bing left, another waiter walked over to report, “Young Master, Family Master Li came to pay his respects.”

“Lord of the Li Family..Li Fu.” Lu Ming furrowed his brows. He had a bad impression of Li Fu.

“Ya, already,” replied the waiter.

Just then, Li Ping walked over and said, “Ming'er, since your uncle has arrived, let's meet him!”

Lu Ming nodded and ordered his servant to bring Li Fu in.

“Haha, little sister, Ming'er, I came to visit!” Li Fu laughed out loud as he entered. His face was filled with such a wide smile that anyone who was unaware of the situation would assume that he had a close relationship with Lu Ming and his mother!

“Sister,” Li Ping greeted him.

However, an ice-cold smile was seen on Lu Ming's face as he sat in a daze. “Master Li, why did you come to the Lu Residence today? That's impossible because you want to meet this trash, right?”

"Coughs! Cough!" Li Fu coughed as his old face turned red. He chuckled wryly and said, “Ming'er, you are a genius once. How can you be trash? If anyone says that next time, I will definitely break his leg.

“Ming'er, I believe in those rumors because I'm confused because I'm old. I hope you don't remember it.”

At that moment, Lu Ming realized that someone else had come to apologize.

Lu Ming's explosion this time was truly shocking. Although he had offended the Duanmu Family, he had also gotten help from Mu Lan from the Elixir Hall. It's hard to say how successful he will be in the future.

Moreover, it was certain that Lu Ming was next in line as the Family Lord, so anyone who had offended him earlier, like Lu Bing and Li Fu, would get into trouble. Therefore, they all came forward to apologize and reconcile.

It was now clear that the strong ruled over the weak in the martial arts world.

“Confirm, brother. I will definitely not remember it,” Li Ping said with a joyous smile emanating on his face.

“That's great, my sister! I have prepared ten Qi Condensation Pills as a token of gratitude. Please accept!" Li Fu said as he took out a jade bottle.

The Qi Condensation Pill was a Lower Second Level Pill. One pill was worth 2,000 taels of silver, while ten pills were worth 20,000 taels of silver. It seems that Li Fu went to the bank for this matter.

It should be noted that 20,000 taels of silver was equal to the income of the Li Family for half a year.

Even the Lu Family, the largest family in Fire Wind City, had an annual income of around 200,000 taels of silver.

“Thank you then!” Lu Ming quickly accepted it.

He had originally planned to ignore Li Fu, but Li Ping turned out to be from the Li Family. Lu Ming knew that he was still very concerned about the Li Family's attitude and was obviously happy when Li Fu came to apologize.

That was why Lu Ming had to pretend for Li Ping's sake. There was no harm in receiving ten Qi Condensation Pills.

Li Fu finally relaxed after seeing Lu Ming receive his pills. Although he was saddened by the 20,000 taels of silver, it was an investment. If Lu Ming were truly in power, the Li Family would have no trouble.

If he knew that Lu Ming was extremely talented, he would not offend him in any way.

After a short joke, Li Fu said goodbye and left.

“Qiu Yue, how many meridians have you opened?” Lu Ming quickly asked Qiu Yue after Li Fu left.

Li Ping also looked at him with a curious expression.

“Young Master, Mistress, I just opened the eighth meridian yesterday!” Qiu Yue replied cheerfully.

"What?" Lu Ming and Li Ping were greatly shocked as they looked at him in disbelief.

The first few meridians are relatively easy, but it gets harder and harder.

Qiu Yue had opened eight meridians after ten days or so. What was important was that he was cultivating the Qi Condensation Art which was a basic art! He had not taken a single pill. Talent like this is shocking.

'Can Qiu Yue open the divine meridians without the help of the blood meridians?' Lu Ming could not help but wonder.

“Mother, Qiu Yue, don't tell anyone about this for now,” Lu Ming told Li Ping and Qiu Yue who both nodded.
