In the past, there were no Spirit Stream Realm disciples in the Jade Blood Sect, so there was no one to manage the station, allowing rogue cultivators to run over. But now, things were different. The Jade Blood Sect had Lu Ye, and if Lu Ye insisted on driving them away, those rogue cultivators wouldn't be able to stay.
After the news of Lu Ye's appearance in the station spread out yesterday, many rogue cultivators felt nervous, fearing that they would be driven away.
This was why Chen Yu had hurriedly come to find Lu Ye.
He hadn't thought that before he had even explained his purpose, Lu Ye would give him a contract.
Looking down, Chen Yu's expression gradually eased.
The contents of the contract were very simple. The situation in the market would remain as it was for the time being, but the Jade Blood Sect could let the rogue cultivators leave at any time.
At the same time, the Jade Blood Sect entrusted Chen Yu with managing the market, and if the rogue cultivators wanted to stay in the market, depending on their cultivation, they would have to pay two to five Spirit Stones per month to the Jade Blood Sect.
This was a contract drawn up by Shui Yuan, and the fee was not high. If it was just a few Spirit Stones, the rogue cultivators could afford it. This would bring a certain amount of income to Lu Ye and also let the rogue cultivators know that this was the Jade Blood Sect's station, and if they wanted to stay here, they would have to pay a certain price.
Chen Yu quickly finished reading it and happily bit his finger and pressed his fingerprint on the contract.
After exchanging their respective brands with Lu Ye, he happily rushed to the market, ready to tell the good news to the rogue cultivators who were waiting for news.
Compared to the benefits of the rogue cultivators, Chen Yu's gains were naturally much greater. Although he was the nominal manager of the market before, after all, he had no status, but now it was different. With the Jade Blood Sect's entrustment, he had a real identity, and it would be more legitimate for him to manage the market.
Lu Ye didn't have to worry about the rogue cultivators for the time being. The station was so big that he couldn't use it all by himself, so instead of offending people now, it was better to keep it as it was.
In front of the Tian Ji Pillar, Lu Ye's mind connected to the Tian Ji Treasure House, looking for the treasures he needed.
After a cup of tea's time, a palm-sized box appeared in Lu Ye's hand and he hurried to the cultivation room.
The Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Technique Practicing Room was obviously denser than in other places, especially in the room he stayed in yesterday. Because of the three Spirit Gathering Spirit Runes that he had set up, the Spirit Qi here was much denser than in other places.
He opened the door, walked in, and sat down with the box in his hand.
Looking at the box in his hand, Lu Ye felt both happy and distressed.
He was glad that the Tianji Treasury indeed had all sorts of good stuff. As long as it was something he wanted, he could find it inside. What made his heart ache was that this small box had cost him 200 contribution points. It was much more expensive than the Mountain Plate Saber.
He gently opened the box, and a ball of flame about the size of a baby's fist immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and a scorching aura spread out.
It was a small ball of Earth Core Fire, the cheapest kind of strange fire that Lu Ye found in the Tianji Treasure Vault.
The Talent Tree's ability to burn the pill poison had to be recovered as soon as possible. This was related to the increase of his cultivation. In the past, Lu Ye had guessed that the Talent Tree needed to absorb some scorching heat or flame energy in order for the leaves on it to burn, allowing him to obtain more Spirit Marks.
However, this had always been a guess, and there was no way to verify it.
But after a trip to the Tianji Treasury, this conjecture was confirmed, because when he stood in the middle of those treasures and strange flames, the Innate Skill Tree that was dormant in his Source Spirit Aperture clearly became active. However, because those treasures were all in the Tianji Treasury, the Innate Skill Tree could not absorb their power.
Until now, when Lu Ye opened the box in his hand, a trace of abnormality immediately came from his Source Spirit Aperture. Lu Ye immediately focused his mind, and in the next moment, he saw the roots of the Talent Tree growing out, piercing into the Earth Core Fire inside the box.
In the blink of an eye, the scorching heat disappeared, and the Earth Core Fire disappeared.
The fourth leaf on the Talent Tree began to burn!
Before leaving Mount Qingyun, the fourth leaf had begun to shine after the battle with the Barrier Breaking Fruit. But because it did not absorb enough energy, it did not undergo a qualitative change.
Today, it finally began to burn. In other words, Lu Ye had one more Spirit Rune.
He suppressed the anticipation and joy in his heart and continued to observe, only to find that … it was gone!
The fifth leaf did not show any signs of burning, and it did not even shine …
Lu Ye frowned. This was somewhat different from what he had expected.
But soon, he found that the Talent Tree had recovered its ability to burn pill toxins. As his Spirit Qi circulated, gray mist was constantly being burned out.
The pill toxins in his body had accumulated to a peak after the battle at the Golden Summit, causing his Spirit Qi to become obscure and dim, which had a great impact on his strength and cultivation.
Since the battle at the Golden Summit, Lu Ye did not dare to take Spirit Pills. Although Second Senior Sister had a method to help him expel the pill toxins in his body, and the effect was not bad, she could not completely remove them.
This kind of thing required a long time of recuperation and adjustment.
But after the Talent Tree recovered its ability to burn pill toxins, in just a short time, the Spirit Qi in Lu Ye's body became pure and flawless again.
The hidden danger had finally been resolved. Lu Ye relaxed.
Combining all the previous events, his guess was correct.
The Talent Tree could absorb scorching heat or some flame energy, and that energy could burn the leaves of the Talent Tree, allowing Lu Ye to master Spirit grain s one after another. In addition, that energy could also be stored in the Talent Tree as a type of fuel to burn the pill poison.
This time, only one leaf burned. It was probably because the Talent Tree needed to accumulate fuel, so most of the energy was stored. Only a small part of it was used to burn the fourth leaf.
There were many treasures in the Tianji Treasury that were suitable for the Talent Tree to absorb. Just the Earth Core Fire alone was enough, and Lu Ye had only bought one of them.
It seemed that he still had to go get merit points! As long as he had enough merit points, the Talent Tree would be able to play a greater role.
Looking at his remaining 500 merit points, Lu Ye sighed slightly. A few days ago, he had almost broken through 1000 merit points.
Merit points were difficult to accumulate, but they were spent as quickly as flowing water.
Not in a hurry to cultivate, Lu Ye looked at the fourth burning leaf of the Talent Tree and took a deep breath. His expression became solemn and his mind was immersed in it.
The burning leaf rapidly enlarged in Yang Kai's field of vision, obscuring all his thoughts. His mind was forcibly pried open, as if a red-hot iron had reached in and stirred it!
After a long while, Lu Ye finally regained his senses, his body drenched in sweat. He shook his head to dispel the discomfort.
Even if he was already a Fifth Order cultivator, investigating the Spirit Patterns on the Talent Tree was still an extremely unpleasant experience. Fortunately, he did not pass out like the first time.
Blood Stain!
This was the name of the fourth Spirit Pattern.
Investigating its mysteries, Lu Ye soon discovered that although this was an offensive Spirit Pattern, it did not directly increase one's lethality like the Sharpness Rune. It had other uses.
However, it was undeniable that if this Spirit Pattern was used well, it was not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong!
In fact, it would give him a way to fight a strong enemy.
Every Spirit Pattern on the Talent Tree had great uses, but if he wanted to obtain these Spirit Patterns, he would first need to obtain some suitable treasures for the Talent Tree to absorb energy from.
In other words, he would need a lot of merit points!
Although he still had more than five hundred merit points, Yang Kai was not prepared to buy the Earth Core Fire. He would keep some of his merit points in reserve, who knew when they would come in handy.
Getting up, Lu Ye placed Spirit Stones in the eight positions of the Spirit Gathering Array. When he reached the last piece, Lu Ye thought for a moment before taking out the blood-red scale he had obtained from the Dragon Spring and placing it in the groove.
The Spirit Gathering Array could stimulate the power in Spirit Stones, so perhaps it could stimulate the power in this scale.
There were a lot of blood lines on the scale, which Hu Po had absorbed several times before. Every time, it was very addictive. Lu Ye did not dare to imitate Hu Po. After all, a Monster Beast's body was not something he could compare to.
However, if the Spirit Gathering Array could stimulate its power, then it would be a safe way to absorb the power in the scale.
Next, Yang Kai began constructing Spirit Gathering Spirit Patterns in his Spirit Apertures.
Once everything was ready, he swallowed the pill and started cultivating. Soon, the room was filled with dense spiritual energy. Within the spiritual energy, there was also some red mist flowing. Each mist was like a dragon swimming in the air ….
Days passed, and during the day, he would temper his skills under Li Baxian's care and protection. Every day, he would be killed by Fourth Senior Brother many times, and every time, he would be covered in blood and would be dragged by Second Senior Sister to soak in a bath for treatment.
At night, he would enter the station and explore the mysteries of the Tian Ji Pillar and his authority as a Guardian. Sometimes, he would go to the Tian Ji Treasury to broaden his horizons and cultivate.
Li Baxian did not teach him too many fighting skills, nor did he teach him any Sword Arts or Blade Arts, because such things were worthless in Li Baxian's eyes, and were only good for looking good.
Good Blade Arts and Sword Arts were the simplest killing techniques!
All he did was let Lu Ye use his body to remember each wound. This kind of teaching method could be called cruel, and only the Blue Blood Sect had the qualifications to teach like this. If it were any other sect, who knew how many disciples they would have already been crippled.
At the dining table, Lu Ye was eating in large mouthfuls while asking Li Baxian for guidance, "Fourth Senior Brother, how can I quickly obtain a large amount of contribution points?"
"Kill the enemy!" Li Baxian replied concisely.
"I naturally know how to kill the enemy, but didn't you say that it would be unsuitable for me to cause trouble outside?"
It had only been a month since the battle on Golden Light Peak, and the storm had just subsided, so Li Baxian had warned Lu Ye to be a bit more stable in the near future. Fortunately, Lu Ye had been recuperating during this time and had been running back and forth to the station every day, so there was no chance for him to go out and cause trouble.
"Besides killing the enemy, the only other option is to sell things to the Tian Ji Treasury."
