Although there were various reasons, he still accomplished the feat of single-handedly killing a Holy Seed. The fame was secondary, the benefits he gained were the real deal.
A familiar soft voice came into his ears, with a hint of surprise and relief. "Senior Apprentice Brother, you're awake."
Then, Lan Qiyue's face came into view.
Lu Ye responded softly and closed his eyes again to check on his injuries.
Fortunately, there were no major problems, and all his injuries were recovering quickly. With his current physique, he would be able to recover in three to five days.
He spread his Divine Telekinesis and quickly understood his current location. He was in the Bright Moon Cave.
Lan Qiyue must have brought him here after he fainted. This small gathering place of the Blood Breeds had a special meaning to Lan Qiyue. It was here that she met Lu Ye and received a new life. Therefore, after Saint Mo Hai died, although she had many places to go, she chose the Bright Moon Cave.
"Junior Apprentice Sister Lan, I have something I need you to do," said Lu Ye.
"Please say it, Senior Apprentice Brother," replied Lan Qiyue solemnly. "Saint Mo Hai is dead. You may take over his territory."
"Of course." Lan Qiyue nodded. Not only could she take over Saint Sage Mo Hai's territory, she could even take back all of her original territory. If she was willing, it would be the same as having the territory of two Saint Seeds.
Within hundreds of thousands of miles, it could be said that she was the dominant force. In front of a Holy Seed, ordinary Blood Breeds would not dare to disobey.
However, Lan Qiyue was worried about Lu Ye's injuries and did not have the heart to do anything else.
"What do you want me to do, Senior Apprentice Brother?" asked Lan Qiyue.
"I need you to control the nearby territories as much as possible, and then help me collect spirit rice. The more, the better, under the premise that it does not affect the survival of the human race in this world."
Controlling the nearby territories was mainly for the future. Of course, it was also to make it easier to collect spirit rice.
As for collecting spirit rice … Naturally, it was for the sake of the mortals in the Nine States who were suffering under the insect plague.
Over the past few years, the survival of the mortals had been greatly suppressed by the insectoids. At the very least, there was no guarantee of survival supplies. Although it had been four months since the insectoid disaster, and the mortals should have resumed farming by now, it was hard to say how much harvest there would be and whether it would be enough to satisfy their needs.
In contrast, although the mortals of the Blood Refinement Realm lived precarious lives and could be hunted down by the Blood Race at any time, in their daily lives, they didn't have to worry about food or clothing. Every human village had a large number of spirit fields nearby.
Take Cangnan Village, where Lu Ye had once stayed, as an example. There weren't many people in the village, but the food reserves were huge, enough for the villagers to eat for more than ten years.
Moreover, because the concentration of World Spirit Qi in the Blood Refining World was far higher than in the Nine Regions, the quality of the Spirit Rice grown by the mortals here was much better than in the Nine Regions. If mortals ate it for a long time, it would have the effect of strengthening their body. It could even slowly improve the strength of cultivators with low cultivation base.
In this regard, the Spirit Rice grown in the Nine Regions couldn't be compared because the World Spirit Qi in the Nine Regions had never been rich.
According to Lu Ye's estimation, the Blood Race army should be on the way to the Shenque Sea. In other words, the war between the two regions would soon start. At that time, the Nine Regions' Tianji would use the Tianji Pillar to open up the connection between the regions. The cultivators of the Nine Regions would also be able to descend from the sky and arrive at the Blood Refinement Realm.
First, they would collect a large amount of Spirit Rice. After the connection between the two worlds was completely opened, they would send the Spirit Rice to the Nine Regions. This would certainly alleviate the food shortage of the mortals of the Nine Regions.
It was inconvenient for him to deal with this kind of matter, so it was just right for Lan Qiyue to deal with it.
This was one of the reasons why he came back to find Lan Qiyue, but he didn't expect her to be in trouble.
Fortunately, the final result was satisfactory.
"I'll do it now." Lan Qiyue quickly nodded. Her Senior Brother had woken up and his injuries were recovering. There was no need for her to continue to stay here. Since her Senior Brother had ordered, she would naturally obey.
She turned her head and looked to the side. Her voice turned cold. "Take good care of my Senior Brother. If there's the slightest mistake, I'll take your life!"
Not far away, Lu Chang, who was standing against the corner of the wall, trembled. "Yes!"
Previously, when he returned to the Bright Moon Cave from outside, he happened to bump into Lan Qiyue who was returning with Lu Ye. He was almost killed on the spot by Lan Qiyue.
Fortunately, he revealed his identity as Lu Ye's soul slave in time. That was how he escaped.
Lan Qiyue quickly left. Lu Chang heaved a sigh of relief. These days, when he was by Lu Ye's side, he didn't feel any pressure.
Lu Chang's attitude was never too strict or harsh. However, when facing Lan Qiyue, it was different. Perhaps it was because he was worried about Lu Ye's injuries.
These few days, Lan Qiyue's mood was not good. Under this heavy atmosphere, Lu Chang lived very cautiously.
After a few days, Lu Ye's injuries were basically healed under the effect of recuperation and healing pills.
At this moment, he was urging his spiritual power to burn a corpse. It was the corpse of Saint Mo Hai!
When Lan Qiyue brought the unconscious him back, she didn't forget to bring along the spoils of war. The corpses of ordinary Blood Breeds were not much of a spoil of war. However, the corpse of a Holy Seed was different.
After burning for a full hour, Saint Mo Hai's corpse was finally burned clean. With a sweep of the flames and a withdrawal of spiritual power, a drop of golden blood appeared in front of Lu Ye.
Holy Blood!
In comparison, Saint Mo Hai's Holy Blood was indeed smaller than the Holy Blood of the female Holy Seed who was killed. This was also the reason why he was suppressed by Lu Ye's bloodline.
Lu Ye had refined a drop of Holy Blood before and devoured it.
The Holy West of the female Holy Seed had achieved bloodline suppression.
He had already killed the female Holy Seed and devoured her Holy Blood.
After that, Lu Ye realized that this was the only way!
At that time, if he wasn't shouldering the mission of placing the Divine Pillar, he would have gone deep into the underground blood river to search for more Holy Blood. He wasn't sure if there would be any gains.
However, he didn't expect that there would be a pleasant surprise at the end of this journey. His own Holiness was already very strong. If he refined this drop of Saint Mo Hai's Holy Blood, how strong would his Holiness be? Lu Ye was looking forward to it.
Just as he was about to refine this drop of Holy Blood, Lu Ye's expression changed, and he turned to look outside.
It was Lan Qiyue, who had returned in a hurry.
It had only been a few days, and the matter was already settled?
When they met, Lu Ye asked and found out that Lan Qiyue had indeed completed the task he had given her.
It was not strange when he thought about it. The Blood Breeds respected Holy Seeds. Now that Saint Mo Hai was dead, Lan Qiyue was the only Holy Seed in this area. How could the Blood Breeds resist her?
She didn't even need to do anything deliberately. She only needed to find some Blood Breeds to spread the word, and the Heavenly Venerables of the various grotto-heavens would come and join her.
The collection of spirit rice was also in progress. Lu Ye believed that the Blood Breeds would soon send the spirit rice over.
"Senior Brother, are you going to refine this drop of Holy Blood?" Lan Qiyue noticed the drop of golden blood in Lu Ye's hand. The Holiness was so strong that it made her feel a little suffocated.
"That's right." Lu Ye nodded. If he wanted to quickly kill the Holy Seed in the upcoming battle, he had to improve his own Holiness as soon as possible. Refining more Holy Blood was the fastest and most effective way.
Lan Qiyue said, "Senior Brother, Holy Blood can't be refined casually, especially the blood of an old Holy Seed."
In fact, when she saw Lu Ye again, she had been wondering why Lu Ye also had the Divine Attribute. Logically speaking, only those who refined the Sacred Blood could have the Divine Attribute, but after refining the Sacred Blood, there were only two outcomes: death or turning into a Blood Kindred!
That was how she became a Blood Breeds.
Lu Ye was obviously different. He was clearly a human, but he had the same Holiness as the Holy Seed. This had never happened in the history of the Blood Refinement Realm.
However, Senior Brother had his own opportunities, so she didn't ask about it. However, if Senior Brother wanted to refine Saint Mo Hai's Holy Blood, the risk would be great.
"Why do you say that?" Lu Ye was puzzled. The female Holy Seed that was killed before was also an old Holy Seed. It didn't seem wrong for him to refine her Holy Blood.
Lan Qiyue then explained, "Because even if it is a Holy Seed, when refining more Sacred Blood, it will have to bear a great risk. The stronger the Holiness in the Sacred Blood, the greater the risk. Therefore, if the Holy Seed wants to increase its own Holiness, the safest way is to go deep into the Blood River to find new Sacred Blood instead of killing other Holy Seeds to take it by force. This is because most of the Holy Seeds have obtained more than one drop of Sacred Blood. If they refine it this way, they will die without a doubt. This is actually the reason why there are not many Holy Seeds in this world. Since ancient times, the Blood Refining Realm has given birth to countless Holy Seeds. Other than a very small number who died in battle, most of them died in the process of refining Sacred Blood."
When Lu Ye heard this, he was surprised. He did not know about such a thing. When he realized that he could consume more Sacred Blood to increase his Holiness, he thought that Sacred Seeds would often kill each other, which led to the scarcity of Sacred Seeds.
However, he didn't think that there was another reason.
It wasn't strange that Lan Qiyue knew about this. Relatively speaking, she was already considered a true Blood Breed. Moreover, she had stayed in the Blood Refinement Realm for a longer time. Naturally, she could find out information that Lu Ye didn't know.
For example, if Lan Qiyue were to refine Saint Mo Hai's Holy Blood, she would die without a doubt. This was because the Holiness in Saint Mo Hai's Holy Blood was unbearable for her.
If she wanted to improve her own Holiness, she could only find new Holy Blood in the Blood River. However, it was also very risky.
Not to mention her, even the real old Holy Seeds wouldn't covet the drop of Holy Blood in Lu Ye's hands.
There was no need for that. Those Holy Seeds could still tell the difference between risking their own lives and risking their own lives.
