Chapter 232: Tragic and Corrupt Situation Along the Way
"Whoosh!"
A large golden eagle descended from the sky and landed in the courtyard of a residence on the lake island.
Li Dingguo jumped up from the bird's back, landed on the ground, turned around and picked up the blood-colored third-grade lotus platform from a seat on the large special saddle.
After obtaining this treasure, Li Dingguo simply placed it on the back of the golden eagle and had no time to deal with it.
"Dajin, our trip south this time will take quite some time, so make some preparations before setting off."
"Go and tell the two little golden eagles to stop them from worrying at home."
He gave Da Jin some instructions, patted the golden eagle's head, watched it fly towards the five-colored sacred tree, then turned and strode towards the inner room.
When riding the big golden eagle on his way home, Li Dingguo took the time to check his gold finger panel and was surprised to find that the two ancient artifacts, the blood-colored lotus platform that were split in two, could be repaired by consuming luck points.
Although it costs a lot to repair it, requiring a full twenty points of luck, but you can get a complete innate artifact, which is well worth it.
An innate artifact like this one is of immeasurable value and can greatly enhance one's foundation.
In the future, when the seals on the three natal artifacts are completely lifted, it may bring me a big surprise.
Li Dingguo was not clear about the true power of this kind of artifact, but he could guess that there must not be many treasures like artifacts in this world, especially innate artifacts.
Before setting out south, he spent his luck points to repair the Blood Lotus Platform artifact, giving himself an extra trump card to be prepared for any eventuality.
Who knows, at some point this magical lotus platform artifact will come into play and provide unexpected help to oneself.
After arriving at the secret room where he usually meditated and practiced, Li Dingguo sat cross-legged on a cushion and began to calm down and adjust his state of mind.
After becoming a weapon refiner, Li Dingguo collected several spiritual materials with suitable properties and upgraded and refined the magic weapon cushion he was sitting on using the Human Emperor Cauldron.
The special cushion that has reached the level of a third-level magical instrument has a good enhancing effect on daily meditation and practice.
After restoring his state of mind to a calm state, Li Dingguo's mind moved, and a ninth-grade blood-colored lotus platform flashed out from the sea of consciousness.
He spliced the third-grade blood-colored lotus platform placed next to it with the ninth-grade lotus platform of the same origin, and the broken ends of the two lotus platforms matched perfectly.
"Use twenty points of luck to repair this lotus platform for me."
Li Dingguo's mind sank into his brain and he began to operate on the gold finger panel.
He used his mind to touch the word "repair" behind the ninth-grade lotus platform, his natal artifact, and his luck value instantly decreased by twenty points, plummeting from the original fifty-two points to thirty-two points.
Li Dingguo felt a little distressed.
This was the second time he had consumed so much luck, so it was normal for him to feel a little heartbroken.
Although I think this expense is well worth it and has a very high cost-effectiveness, it is too difficult to obtain luck value. Now that two-fifths of it have been consumed in one go, I naturally feel a little distressed.
As the twenty points of luck value disappeared instantly, a thick dark yellow fog suddenly appeared in front of Li Dingguo, wrapping the blood-red lotus platform that was broken into two halves in front of him.
"Buzz..."
This dark yellow fog appeared out of nothing, wrapped around the blood-colored lotus platform, and then surged and rolled violently, making a low sound.
About a quarter of an hour later, the dark yellow fog suddenly converged and sank into the blood-colored lotus.
In front of Li Dingguo's eyes, there was a brand new twelve-level blood-red lotus platform, shining with rich precious light, and intact.
Because this ownerless lotus pedestal artifact has been refined into one's own natal artifact, there is no need to refine it again.
"Whoosh!"
After the twelve-grade blood-colored lotus platform was repaired, it turned into a blood-red stream of light and sank into Li Dingguo's brow. After entering his sea of consciousness, it floated below the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell and the Human Emperor Cauldron, slowly rotating.
This blood-colored lotus platform, which has been restored to its intact state, is still one grade lower than the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell and the Human Emperor Cauldron.
A piece of information immediately entered Li Dingguo's mind: Twelve-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus (1/8 sealed), a defensive top-grade innate artifact, immune to all evil, can burn and purify all negative auras between heaven and earth...
"This top-grade innate divine weapon is really awesome. It didn't waste my luck points. It's worth the money."
This lotus pedestal artifact was a top-grade innate artifact with eight seals. Now that it had been refined by himself into his own natal artifact, the first seal had inexplicably been released.
Although a large amount of luck would be needed to unlock it in the future, it was a great thing that I had obtained a top-grade innate artifact.
After dealing with this crucial matter, Li Dingguo stood up and packed some items he would carry with him on his journey south.
This journey is too long, so you need to bring two sets of spare clothes and daily necessities, as well as some necessary medicines, just to be prepared.
After packing up the things he was going to take with him, Li Dingguo came to the courtyard with two large packages in one hand, a ten thousand year cold iron silver spear in the other, and a set of third-grade top-grade magic bow and arrows on his back. He found that the big golden eagle had returned and was waiting in the courtyard. The big golden eagle was deeply grateful to Li Dingguo for giving him and his two children a new life.
Now that his cultivation and even the blood in his body have the opportunity to be further improved, there is hope for revenge in the future. The golden eagle has long been committed to his master and is devoted to him.
It had previously sensed its master's inner anxiety and felt the same way.
It had hurriedly met with the two children, gave them some instructions, found some spiritual fruits on the Great Spiritual Island to satisfy its hunger, and then immediately returned to the courtyard.
Li Dingguo placed the things in his hand on the special saddle of the magical instrument on the back of the golden eagle. Without wasting any more time, he jumped and sat on the back of the golden eagle.
He used his divine consciousness to activate the law shield on the saddle magic weapon, and said to the big golden eagle, "Dajin, let's set off immediately and fly southeast, straight to Jiaozhou Bay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden eagle nodded its head, flapped its wings and flew high, instantly breaking through the island protection formation and reaching a height of thousands feet.
It circled in the air for a while, and after finding its direction, it turned into a golden stream of light and shot towards the southeast sky, and soon disappeared into the horizon...
……
Jinan Prefecture, Mount Li, three hundred miles south.
On the main peak of Mount Li, which is about 300 meters high, in a picturesque valley surrounded by wind and rain, Li Dingguo had just finished a feast of barbecued monsters with a giant golden eagle.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, looking unhappy.
Six days and six nights had passed since he set out on his journey south.
Because this time they were traveling light and the golden eagle was flying at full speed, the speed of this flight was much faster than the previous two times.
After only six days and six nights, it crossed a straight-line distance of 800,000 miles and arrived near Jinan Prefecture.
While stopping to eat and rest along the way to allow the golden eagle to recover its strength and energy, Li Dingguo also went out to ask for directions. The situation he saw, where the people were living in dire straits and it was like hell on earth, made him feel very heavy.
He was even considering whether to lead the Renaissance Army into the country ahead of time.
Although they know that this is an irrational idea, any Chinese who still has a conscience in his heart will feel desolate when he sees the bones everywhere and the miserable refugees everywhere.
Although Li Dingguo had been mentally prepared, less than two years had passed and the Ming Dynasty had become corrupt to this extent.
The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no cock crowing for thousands of miles.
This is no longer a line from an ancient poem, but a reality that can be seen everywhere.
This is not because Li Dingguo is a saint, but because he felt deeply moved when he saw that the Chinese people, a group that has suffered so many disasters, had once again fallen into such an extremely corrupt and decadent state.
"call……"
After pondering for a long time, Li Dingguo raised his head, and there was a decisiveness and determination in his eyes that had not been there before.
"Just wait. In a few years, when I officially march south, it will be the end of you, the so-called upper-class elites who indulge in luxury and take human life lightly!"
"No one will be able to escape this disaster!"
It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability, you can only live a miserable life.
Now that he has the ability, Li Dingguo will definitely not hesitate to raise the butcher knife in his hand and launch a round of reckoning against the culprits who caused all this.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time traveling and being reborn?
Most of the journey has been completed.
According to the intelligence obtained from previous investigations, it would be less than 300,000 miles to reach their destination: Jiaozhou Bay.
He shook his head, put all distracting thoughts behind him, stood up suddenly, and said to the golden eagle lying leisurely on the grass beside him, "Dajin, let's continue our journey and get to Jiaozhou Bay as soon as possible."
"We are not far from our destination. I have explained the route to you clearly. You don't need to take detours anymore. This should save you a lot of time."
"Today is already February 28th, and there are only five days left until March 3rd. We must hurry up so that we can reach our destination before the white barbarian fleet arrives and make some preparations."
"This time I want to see what those famous white barbarian fleets look like."
"When the time comes, maybe we'll have to do something to kill more white barbarians and vent our anger."
After giving clear instructions to the golden eagle, Li Dingguo flew over and sat on its back, activating the protective light shield of the formation on the special saddle magic weapon.
"Chirp..."
After an eagle's cry, a stream of golden light shot up into the sky, instantly reaching a height of ten thousand feet, and flew rapidly towards the southeast coastline...
