Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Lu Li woke up, it was already past 1 pm.

 

He was called for breakfast and lunch by someone earlier. However, he was too sleepy and did not wake up.

 

Lu Ling originally thought that Lu Li was playing games till late at night so he did not wake up.

 

So when she was ordered by her mother to call down Lu Li for lunch, she was greeted by a mountain of books as she entered the room. She saw that Lu Li’s room was filled with all the books from primary school to high school.

 

It was a spectacular scene of more than a hundred books piled up high.

 

Thinking that Lu Li was studying so seriously, taking out so many books.

 

Lu Ling’s sarcastic words that were already on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back in an instant.

 

So when Lu Li woke up, he found that for the first time, his sister did not chastise him for sleeping in. He was quite surprised.

 

Liu Shi Ting advised Lu Li not to over study and stay up too late.

 

She even took the initiative to cook noodles for Lu Li.

 

Lu Li politely refused.

 

After all, Liu Shi Ting was a guest. There was no reason for him to let a guest cook for him.

 

However, Liu Shi Ting still insisted on helping Lu Li.

 

Lu Ling realized that her childhood friend seemed to be different today.

 

“Ting Ting seems to have become a little clingy to Lu Li.”

 

“Is it just me?”

 

Lu Ling shook her head. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was unlikely.

 

In her eyes, her brother’s looks were very ordinary. Similarly, in her brother’s eyes, his sister’s looks were also very ordinary.

 

Therefore, when she thought that her childhood friend might be interested in her brother, Lu Ling subconsciously felt that it was impossible!

 

She believed that her childhood friend could not have such bad taste!

 

Lu Li naturally did not know what Lu Ling was thinking. Otherwise, he would not mind sticking the chopsticks that were stirring the noodles into her nostrils.

 

After Lu Li finished making the noodles, he started eating on the dining table.

 

Originally, he had planned to go to the second-hand market today to see if he could find a middleman to sell the spiritual energy bottles in his hands to the black market.

 

But now, it seems that he doesn’t have enough time.

 

He had to give up on this idea temporarily.

 

“I have plenty of time to go in the future anyway, so I’m not in a hurry.”

 

Thinking of this, he decided to go and finish his cultivation for today.

 

After eating the noodles, Lu Li washed the dishes and returned to his room. He told Lu Ling and Liu Shi Ting not to disturb him, then locked his door.

 

He lifted the carpet that covered the teleportation array and was about to teleport.

 

Lu Li just thought of bringing a few more bottles.

 

He then saw seven or eight bottles on his desk.

 

There were the life potions, agility potions, and ether potions that he hadn’t finished drinking.

 

Lu Li had forgotten which two bottles contained spiritual power, so Lu Li had to open them one by one to take a look.

 

In the end, as he wrung open all the empty bottles.

 

When he finally found two of the bottles with spiritual power, he was surprised!

 

“Why is there so little of it?”

 

Wasn’t the two bottles full of pure spiritual power yesterday?

 

Lu Li checked again and found that the pure spiritual power in the two bottles was indeed less than half!

 

Lu Li soon figured out the reason.

 

“It diffused away…”

 

This soda bottle could not completely seal the spiritual power up.

 

The losses of the spiritual power could not be seen yesterday because it was diffusing slowly. But after about twenty hours, the difference was obvious.

 

In other words, his plan of selling the spiritual power bottles was ruined…

 

“No, there must be another way.”

 

Lu Li opened his phone and started to search.

 

He quickly found the answer. “I need jade!”

 

“Jade can store spiritual power and keep it around for a long time. The better the quality of the jade, the longer it can store spiritual power!”

 

However, jade wasn’t cheap in the first place.

 

Although there was a substitute, which was a glass bottle, the storage effect of a glass bottle was not much different from a plastic bottle.

 

Some people did experiments on the internet and even a thesis was written about this.

 

Lu Li dug through a well-known database in this world and found this thesis.

 

The person who published this thesis was a man named Chen Yan.

 

He opened Chen Yan’s other thesis works.

 

Chen Yan published a total of 4,725 academic theses! He also published 12 books!

 

“4,700 theses? Oh My God! What kind of monster is he?”

 

Although Lu Li had told himself countless times not to look at the people in this world through the lens of his previous life, he was still shocked when he saw the number of theses.

 

He remembered that the person who published the most academic theses in his previous life had only 1,450, right?

 

How terrifying!

 

This Chen Yan had published 17 academic theses related to spiritual power containers, and most of them were theses from more than a decade ago.

 

The one Lu Li was reading was from sixteen years ago, and it cost 2,400 dollars to download this paper!

 

A 24-page paper cost 2,400 dollars.

 

That was equivalent to 100 dollars for a page!

 

Lu Li remembered that in his previous life, the price of a research paper was usually only 1 dollar for a page!

 

Of course, if it was a university student, they could use the university’s campus network to get the research paper for free.

 

However, Lu Li was only a high school student now. If he wanted to read an academic thesis, he would have to spend money to read it.

 

“Forget it, forget it. I can’t afford it.”

 

In any case, there were people on the internet who directly summarized the conclusion in layman’s terms.

 

In short, it was:

 

A plastic bottle could only seal away spiritual power for 48 hours, and it would slowly drain away.

 

A glass bottle could seal away spiritual power for 120 hours, and it would also slowly drain away.

 

A normal quality jade could seal away spiritual power for an entire year or more!

 

“It seems that I could only use glass bottles.”

 

Thinking of this, Lu Li put on his backpack and put the empty plastic bottle inside.

 

Although the plastic bottle could store spiritual power for 48 hours, considering that he had to go to school tomorrow, he wouldn’t have that much time to go to the cemetery to absorb evil Yin energy. It was always good to store more spiritual power for his use tomorrow.

 

Thinking of this, Lu Li took out the teleportation stone.

 

He teleported to the cemetery.

 

Arriving at the cemetery, Lu Li felt that his absorption range and speed had become faster.

 

Thinking about it, it should be because of the increase in mental vigor and spirit ascension points.

 

After cultivating until five in the afternoon, Lu Li estimated that it was time for dinner. Only then did he return to his room with eight full plastic bottles.

 

At night, he continued to read and review.

 

…

 

The next morning, Lu Li woke up early.

 

He opened the eight plastic bottles and absorbed the pure spiritual power inside.

 

After absorbing the 7th bottle, Lu Li felt the feeling of bloatedness in his body.

 

“It’s about for another breakthrough!”

 

Lu Li quickly absorbed the remaining spiritual power.

 

He opened the last bottle of spiritual power.

 

When he absorbed half of the spiritual power in the bottle.

 

Pop!

 

The feeling of a breakthrough came from his body again, and spiritual power spread through his limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of his body.

 

This time, Lu Li clearly felt that the growth of the spiritual power and physique constitution of his body was much stronger than when he was between 199 to 200, and between 299 to 300.

 

After all, 300 to 400 was a threshold. After crossing it, his overall strength would greatly increase.

 

Over the weekend, not only did his strength increase from 200 points to 400 points, but he also reviewed tons of books and accumulated 15,723 learning points!

 

It was a bountiful harvest.

 

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Li packed his things and went downstairs.

 

After breakfast, he carried his bag and went straight to school.

 

On the way to school, Lu Li saw a huge building suddenly appear in the south of the city.

 

That building was abnormally big!

 

Lu Li was sure that this building didn’t exist the night before yesterday!

 

“Is that the location where the Rao Shui River’s purple aura is?”

 

Lu Li immediately thought of the Rao Shui River bridge that the city guards and Spirit Alliance had built a huge iron wall over the day before yesterday.

 

So… This building was built upon the iron wall?

 

This should be at least three hundred meters in height, right?!

 

Where on earth did they find to transport so many iron walls, and build such a tall building in a day?

 

Lu Li realized that his conception of the world was still too normal…

 

As Lu Li went into the classroom.

 

At that moment, he found that all the students in the class were discussing the complete blockade of the Rao Shui River bridge.

 

The students, and even the residents of Rao Shui Town, all felt it.

 

A storm was coming!
