Chapter 0754: Draconic Atavism Scripture
Green Nether drill grounds, in the fifth division's sub leader's tent.
Li s.h.i.+, Mu Bi, and Zhao Yanzhi accompanied Li Luo originally, but the former two quickly excused themselves after coming up with some excuses, leaving the job of familiarizing Li Luo with his tasks to Zhao Yanzhi.
Although the two had resolved themselves to rely on and support Li Luo, they still needed some time to themselves. Plus, they were known to be some of the most notorious troublemakers in the Green Nether Banner, and having given in to him during their first encounter made them feel a little unnatural.
Additionally, this sort of a.s.signment was best done by Zhao Yanzhi. It would be much more appealing to the eye for a beautiful lady to accompany Li Luo instead of hulking males.
Perhaps even Li Luo didn't want to see the two of them loitering before him all the time either.
"Sub leader, this is your monthly stipend for being part of the Green Nether Banner."
Zhao Yanzhi didn't seem to mind this task. Her purple hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall and she maintained a charming smile as she walked up to Li Luo with a jade box in her hands and gracefully placed it down before him.
Under her collar, one could see snow-white skin that would pull any male into an enchanting dream. Zhao Yanzhi's beauty was renowned through the four banners of the Dragon's Fang Lineage. Numerous males admired her, and she seemed easy to get along with. She held a perpetual amused smile on her face and acted boldly and openly. Alas, through all these years, there was not a single man who had managed to pluck this charming and beautiful flower of the Green Nether Hall.
Li Luo's gaze fell upon her snow-white skin, but his expression remained unmoved. Zhao Yanzhi might be considered to be a beauty, but as a battle-hardened veteran who had met numerous exceptional ladies, he remained composed.
After all, he had always been accompanied by Jiang Qing'e, an unparalleled beauty with the temperament to match, stretching the human imagination when it came to notions of beauty.
On the other hand, if one wanted to talk about mature charm, Sister Cai Wei was a step above Zhao Yanzhi as well.
Thus, Li Luo's gaze quickly switched towards the jade box, which he opened and pulled a jade bottle from. Within it were the upper-grade Fiend Origin Pills he had so craved.
Twenty pills to be precise.
Additionally, there were three more bottles of seventh-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights.
This might have been a smaller portion than what he had received as a member of the upper records, but the rewards from the two positions were not exclusive. Over time, they would greatly accelerate his cultivation progress.
A hint of satisfaction surfaced on Li Luo's face. If a sub leader received such resources, how much better would it be for the Banner Leader?
On the other hand, Zhao Yanzhi felt a little puzzled and surprised. She had realized that Li Luo had not paid much attention to her despite utilizing her usual methods. He remained unmoved like a rock, with no fluctuations in his expression to be seen.
She had a good understanding of her allure, and it had attracted the blazing gazes of many fellows in the Green Nether Banner, almost all wis.h.i.+ng to swallow her up completely.
Zhao Yanzhi smiled and helpfully added, "Sub leader, do the spirit liquids and purifying lights fit your needs? If you wish to exchange them for other grades, I can report this to the hall's internal affairs department."
Li Luo shook his head before asking, "What do I usually need to do as a sub leader?"
He did not understand much about the Green Nether Banner, and neither did he know what the members of the banner did from day to day.
When she heard this, she knelt down on the cus.h.i.+on beside Li Luo, her wavy, purple hair falling down and covering her delicate b.u.t.tocks. A slender waist with undulating curves could be vaguely made out underneath her robes. Such a scene was sure to incite a fire in any male.
Her thick perfume wafted into Li Luo's nose as he turned to glance at the enchantress beside him, his expression wavering only momentarily before returning to his previous serenity.
This subtle change did not go unnoticed, and a hint of satisfaction surfaced within her heart. It seemed that her charm still existed after all.
She had intended to use these actions to tease Li Luo a little. Of course, she did not expect to move his heart so easily. Instead, she had hoped to use her capital to gain favor with him.
If she truly were able to capture his heart with her beauty, it would be a good thing to obtain a servant who obeyed her every order. After all, with his ident.i.ty, talent, and comeliness, her benefits would be endless.
Zhao Yanzhi might have been born in a brothel, but her elder sister had s.h.i.+elded her from the affairs of man and woman. Still, she had naturally learned how to take advantage of her gifts, allowing her to leave the brothel and achieve the current heights she had. Apart from possessing uncanny talent, the biggest reason she had come so far was because she knew exactly how to utilize her natural advantages to protect herself and obtain countless benefits.
Zhao Yanzhi smiled and explained, "Sub leader, the Green Nether Banner's daily task is to train and cultivate. As the sub leader, you have to cultivate together with the rest of the members and familiarize yourself with their auras. After you cultivate the Draconic Atavism Scripture, you can then gather everyone's strength into yourself and truly control our strength as one."
"Draconic Atavism Scripture? What is that?" Li Luo's gaze deepened.
"The Draconic Atavism Scripture is a secret art only sub leaders can utilize. It exists in your silver seal, and you can learn its cultivation method if you place your consciousness inside it. Once you succeed, you can borrow the silver seal as a medium to rule over the fifteen hundred members of your division. When both halves of the seal combine, you will be able to erupt with indomitable strength," Zhao Yanzhi patiently explained.
Li Luo felt a slight shock. "I am able to combine and mobilize the strength of the entire fifth division?"
Just how impressive would it be? Even a Heavenly Dipper General would not be able to resist.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. Combining everyone's strength into a whole is the point of the Twenty Banners' existence. It's not just the Twenty Banners that can do this, but the Five Guardian Armies," Zhao Yanzhi continued.
"If the Green Nether Banner selects a Banner Leader, that individual will be able to gather the strength of the eight thousand members and will even be able to resist a Duke on equal terms. Once you have learned the Draconic Atavism Scripture, you will also have to cultivate the Draconic Breath Fiend Arts with the division. Only through this will you be able to meld your energy with the rest of the division and achieve the state of One Breath. Otherwise, the energy that is gathered will reject you and you will be unable to mobilize the division's true power."
Li Luo nodded as a curious thought surfaced in his heart. The Green Nether Banner's group cultivation had meaning to it after all.
At the same time, Zhao Yanzhi got closer to Li Luo. Her delicate face had turned a little rosy as her peach blossom-like eyes focused intently on him. She exhaled and said gently as the fragrance of orchids wafted through the air, "Sub leader, you have to cultivate attentively. Those who are unable to attain the state of One Breath are considered to be unsuitable to be a sub leader. If they fail after three attempts, someone else can contest him for the role, as per the rules."
Li Luo lightly nodded, expressing his understanding.
After which, the corner of his lips twitched slightly as the dense fragrance constantly a.s.saulted his nose. Turning his gaze to his side, he was greeted with the sight of Zhao Yanzhi's attractive face and seductive curves.
Despite how slow he was, he was finally aware of what she was doing.
This recently subdued subordinate seemed to have certain unreasonable expectations.
Noticing Li Luo’s gaze, Zhao Yanzhi turned a little shy and lowered her eyes timidly.
It seems that although the Third Young Master possessed uncanny talent, he was ultimately just a young man. She seemed to be able to captivate him with very simple methods.
"Could the sub leader... not look at me like that...?" she replied demurely. Looking the way she was now, rejecting his advances might have captivated even men with the most stalwart wills.
Unfortunately, just as she thought that Li Luo had succ.u.mbed to her charms, his expression turned stern and he said, "Please conduct yourself with some self-respect, my lady. I am already betrothed."
Zhao Yanzhi's smile instantly hardened.
