Chapter 77 - Binding Cage
Lu Zhou did not reply to Little Yuan’er’s question. Instead, he waved his hand and went into the room alone. The others waited outside since they did not dare to follow him.
The few female cultivators from Derived Moon Palace kneeled at the door, worried sick.
Duanmu Sheng, Pan Zhong, and Zhou Jifeng came over when they heard about the matter.
Duanmu Sheng dragged his chains along as he made his way over, but they did not seem to impede his speed. It seemed as though his wounds were almost completely healed. He asked, “How’s junior sister doing?”
Mingshi Yin shook his head and said, “Things aren’t looking too good.”
Duanmu Sheng frowned and asked, “Old Fourth, what happened?” In other words, he was asking about what happened between Lu Zhou and Ye Tianxin.
As soon as Duanmu Sheng finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Mingshi Yin.
Mingshi Yin sighed and said, “All I know is Sixth Junior Sister was brought back from the Fish Dragon Village, south of Great Yan’s river. Ever since then, she’s been staying on the mountain.” He did not dare to divulge much information about his master. He shuddered just thinking about the consequences of speaking too much.
Initially, Lu Zhou had planned to continue reading the Heavenly Writing. However, when he recalled how his Brahman Sea opened up his eight meridians, he felt conflicted. He did not expect his avatar would restrict his cultivation base. He had thought it was a good thing that he was able to directly purchase his avatar. After all, this meant he would not encounter any bottleneck when cultivating. Many cultivators spent their entire lives trying to break through a bottleneck but to no avail.
Currently, Lu Zhou did not have enough merit points as well.
“210 points.”
‘What can I do with these meager merit points?’
“Lucky draw.”
“Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Gained Binding Cage x3.”
“Binding Cage: 30% chance of shackling the target.”
Lu Zhou’s eyes brightened. The system was suddenly being kind to him. He finally had a stroke of good luck.
“Lucky draw.”
“Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Thanks for trying. Luck +1.”
As expected. He had a bad feeling about this.
He chose the lucky draw three times consecutively, and he was only thanked for his efforts. In the end, he was left with 10 merit points and 3 additional luck points. ‘Just as well. There’s no need for me to keep drawing.’
Lu Zhou turned his attention to the Binding Cage. “30% chance. Isn’t that too low?” He could just imagine how embarrassing and humiliating it would be if the world’s greatest villain missed when trying to capture his target.
