Invincible Teacher's
Chapter 73: The Elite of the Palace

After the incident on the holy altar, Lu Zhou was exhausted. However, his mind was still working overtime. He called the system console.

Lu Zhou was surprised to see his achievement points had exceeded 4,000. He was too busy with the battle before this that he ignored the system notification. For this reason, he did not pay attention to which missions contributed to his current achievement points.

Lu Zhou checked the mission list. The mission he completed was listed on the mission board.

Lu Zhou discovered that bringing Zhao Yue back had given him 1,000 merit points. He earned another 1,000 merit points from killing the monk, Kong Xuan. Disciplining Zhao Yue also gave him 200 merit points. The remaining points were obtained from Bi An attacking through the cultivators blocking his way.

Lu Zhou was surprised to learn that Bi An could help him earn merit points as well. Saying that, it was still not easy to accumulate merit points. He still lacked 500 points to be able to purchase an avatar, the Mighty Four Quadrants.

He had used one Perfect Card and one Deadly Attack Card to defeat the monk, Kong Xuan. If he did not include the mission in his calculations, he only broke even. Fortunately, he did not use too many of his item cards. If he used an item card to kill some unworthy opponents, he would lose. The item card was powerful, but he could not use it at will. He only had two Deadly Attack Cards and two Perfect Cards left. 'I have to use it sparingly.'

Lu Zhou suddenly recalled that the Heavenly Writings had been activated when he was attacked by the Lullaby Brahman. It has negated all the effects of the Lullaby Brahman. He was really surprised by this. 'Is this the so-called extraordinary power mentioned in the scroll?'

After thinking about this, Lu Zhou tried to activate it. Unfortunately, all he managed to do was circulate his own Primal Qi. This is a technique that is widely used by cultivators. It seemed like he had no way of figuring out how to harness that overwhelming power. That incredible power must have been so powerful as to be able to completely negate the Lullaby Brahman that so many monks chant.

After a while, Lu Zhou looked at the system dashboard. 'Achievement Points or Heaven Writings? Which one should I choose? Should I take the lottery again? However, my luck was never good... I don't think I should take risks with the lottery.'

Lu Zhou decided not to try another item card. His current cultivation base was too low. The function of his body should be able to withstand the deeper cultivation base. He had to raise his avatar level as quickly as possible and increase his cultivation base. No matter how powerful the item card was, it was still an external tool. He did not like the feeling of stepping on thin ice at all times.

Lu Zhou opened the Heavenly Writing interface and started reading.

'As expected ...' Lu Zhou noticed the contents of the scroll had increased. There are fewer symbols that cannot be understood now. 'It seems like there is a meaning to the words Heavenly Writ... I'll just remember it for now and understand it later.'

It was similar to when he was young. He would memorize Tang's poetry without worrying about understanding it. He was sure he would understand it someday.

After the incident on the holy altar, Lu Zhou decided to spend more time and energy reading the Heavenly Writings.

Time keeps passing. Lu Zhou was pulled out of his concentration by the sound of hasty footsteps when it was almost dusk.

Immediately after, a voice sounded from outside the door. "My lord, General Zhao has requested an audience with you."

Lu Zhou closed the Heavenly Writing interface. He didn't open the door. Instead, he said nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"

This time, General Zhao answered. His voice was deep and echoed as he said, “Zhao Shuo from Runan City wants to talk to Old Master. I wonder if he has time?”

Before Lu Zhou could reply, Little Yuan'er appeared and shouted in the corridor, "No, he doesn't!"

General Zhao cupped his hands together to greet and asked, "And you?"

Little Yuan's hand was on his waist as he said, “My grandfather is tired. Who do you think you should ask to meet him at that very moment? ”

“…”

The innkeeper knew this young girl was a Divine Court realm expert. He did not dare to criticize her. He simply said, "Miss, this is General Zhao of Runan City ..."

Zhao Shuo was stunned. 'This little girl has a pretty good temperament. He does not know the breadth of heaven and earth. Well, they say that young people are not afraid.'

At this moment, Lu Zhou finally replied, "Let him in." At first, he did not plan to meet this person. However, when he considered the royal sign and the possible involvement of the palace in all the events that had happened, he decided to try and extract some information from this man.

"Oh." The door opened, and Little Yuan'er moved towards Lu Zhou and placed herself beside him obediently.

Zhao Shuo was surprised when he saw Lu Zhou's appearance. However, he maintained a smile on his face as he bowed and said, “Greetings, Old Master. I am Zhao Shuo from Runan City.”

Lu Zhou's expression remained indifferent as he ignored the general.

Zhao Shuo felt awkward seeing Lu Zhou response. However, he continued and said, "Old Master, I hope you will forgive me for my previous rudeness."

State your affairs, Lu Zhou said briefly.

“...” Zhao Shuo has prepared a complete introduction, but it seems like it is completely useless by the three words of Lu Zhou.

"I heard that the royal token is in your hands, Old Master?" Zhao Shuo asked.

Lu Zhou was unwilling to answer that question. This question means nothing.

Zhao Shuo continued to say, “Years ago, the token was owned by His Majesty, and he could mobilize the Imperial Guards of the capital. The token is a representation of His Majesty. Then, at a certain point, the token was lost..”.

"I'll say this again, state your business" Lu Zhou said. In other words, this was all meaningless chatter.

Zhao Shuo could not feel more awkward. He cupped his fists and said, "Then, I'll cut to the chase ..." He paused for a moment before he said, "Please hand over the token, Old Master."

After Zhao Shuo finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Zhou clandestinely. He was worried that Lu Zhou would not be happy.

Lu Zhou asked, "You want the token?"

“I dare not demand it from you. I'm sure you're not an ordinary person who has owned royal tokens for many years. I am here only under orders, ” Zhao Shuo said.

"Whose order?" Lu Zhou asked briefly.

"Yes ..." Zhao Shuo hesitated for a moment before he said, "I'm not too sure about that. However, that person was an elite from the palace with a deep cultivation base. He came with an edict so I had no choice but to obey him.”

Lu Zhou had a clear understanding of the present situation. He said coldly, "If he wants the royal token, tell him to come here by himself."

“Old Master, why should there be a need for it? I know you should have an incredible cultivation base but offending a high-ranking person from the palace is … "

Lu Zhou did not let Zhao Shuo finish his sentence. He got up slowly as he placed one hand on his back while he stroked his beard.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Shuo assumed Lu Zhou agreed with his words. A happy expression could be seen on his face at this moment.

Lu Zhou waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Send them away."

“...” Zhao Shuo wants to say something to persuade Lu Zhou.

However, Little Yuan'er who was standing at the side waved his small hand and said in a threatening tone, "Defeat!"

'This young girl ... is really excited! Why was he so different from his grandfather? This is not the way for a young girl to behave! No, wait, Old Master is also an eccentric person.' Zhao Shuo shook his head helplessly. He could only retreat from the room.

Zhao Shuo had just walked out of the room when Lu Zhou suddenly asked him a question. "Who sent Zhuo Ping?"

Zhao Shuo was surprised. He turned to look at the innkeeper, who was waiting outside, but did not reply.

At this moment, a man with a long sword standing downstairs said with a smile, "Of course, it is someone from the palace ... Old Master, we meet again!"

Although Lu Zhou could not see the person speaking, he recognized the voice of that person. It was none other than the person who loved the sword all the way to the bones and cherished the sword as much as his life, Jiang Aijian.
