Behind the old man and the young girl stood the villagers who were still alive.
The village wasn't large to begin with, with only a hundred or so people. After the bandits' attack, only half of them were still alive, and most of them were women, children, and the elderly. At this moment, all of them were looking at Lu Ye in awe.
This Immortal Master had killed more than twenty bandits by himself. Many of them had seen it with their own eyes. If it weren't for him, they would all be dead today!
Therefore, even though the Immortal Master didn't look like a good person for a moment, the villagers were still grateful.
Lu Ye looked at these people and was immediately dazzled by the large number above their heads.
The bandits were living Asura Seals, and so were these villagers! Their value was even higher than the bandits'!
The young girl he had met on the mountain was worth two thousand Asura Seals, and the old man she was supporting was even more exaggerated. The number above his head was so big that Lu Ye almost thought he was seeing things.
The bandit leader he had killed was worth three thousand Asura Seals. How could this weak old man with half his neck be worth five thousand Asura Seals?
These villagers were worth at least two thousand Asura Seals, and a few of them were worth three thousand.
Even if there were only fifty of them, their total value was at least a hundred thousand Asura Seals. If Lu Ye wanted to, he could kill all these unarmed ordinary people and gain almost the same amount of income as a training trip.
Most of these people were just shadows, not real people. Therefore, he didn't have to feel guilty about killing them.
"Immortal Master, Gale Mountain has suffered heavy losses this time. They will definitely not let this go. They have six leaders, and the one who died was the weakest. I heard that the leader of Gale Mountain has been cultivating for many years and his strength is unfathomable. Immortal Master, you should plan ahead."
"Huh?" Lu Ye's eyes lit up. "Gale Mountain … where is it?"
Even if these people were just shadows, Lu Ye wouldn't kill them. He was just curious why these ordinary people were worth more than the bandits.
However, he didn't have to feel guilty about killing the bandits. He could be chivalrous and gain benefits at the same time. It was killing two birds with one stone.
The old man was probably the village chief of this village. He replied, "This is the Great Wind Mountain. However, the Great Wind Mountain covers a large area. Many years ago, a group of bandits took over the mountain and claimed it as their king. They used the name of the Great Wind Mountain to commit crimes everywhere."
"Then do you know where they are?" Lu Ye asked again.
"I'm not sure." The old man shook his head and looked at Lu Ye with a strange expression. He had kindly warned Lu Ye mainly because he wanted Lu Ye to leave as soon as possible. The Grand Wind Mountain would definitely come for revenge. Who would have thought that this immortal master was not only not afraid, but also … excited?
What kind of person was this?
"Do any of you know where the base of these bandits is?" Lu Ye looked at the surviving villagers.
Most of them shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.
Only a man dressed like a hunter said, "Immortal Master, the bandits of Gale Mountain are well hidden. Most people don't know their exact location. Even if they happen to see them, they would be killed. But there are people who know."
"Who?" Lu Ye looked at him.
The hunter turned his head and looked to the side. "It!"
Lu Ye followed his gaze and saw the handsome black horse left behind by the Sixth Elder.
His eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, an old horse knows the way. As long as I ride it, it should be able to lead me to the base of the bandits.
With this thought, Lu Ye no longer hesitated. He slowly got up and walked towards the black horse.
"Immortal Master, where are you going?" The old man asked in a trembling voice. Although he had some guesses, he did not dare to be sure.
"Of course I'm going to eradicate all evil!" Lu Ye said as he mounted the horse and picked up the thick spear left behind by the Sixth Elder.
This thing was about two hundred kilograms. It was not something that ordinary people could handle. He could not use the Pan Shan Saber, but in this environment, this spear would be an invincible weapon!
The black horse was somewhat unruly. Lu Ye casually patted it on the back and used his spiritual power to make it behave.
"Immortal Master, there are many strange beasts in Gale Mountain. Please be careful." The hunter looked at Lu Ye's back and couldn't help but remind him.
Lu Ye just waved his hand casually.
After watching Lu Ye's back disappear, the crowd looked at the old man. The hunter said, "Village Chief, what should we do next?"
The village was destroyed and more than half of the villagers were dead or injured. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the bandits of Gale Mountain would definitely seek revenge. If they continued to stay, they would not have a good ending.
No one knew if the Immortal Master who left could eliminate the bandits of Gale Mountain. If he could, then it would be good. But if he couldn't, then disaster would be waiting for them.
The old man pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "Take everything you can and migrate."
They could not stay here. They could only find a suitable place to settle down. But in today's world, who knew what would happen to them if they left their homes?
The villagers were silent for a while, then dispersed to pack up their things.
In the forest, Lu Ye let his horse reins and rummaged through a parcel in his hand.
The parcel was on the black horse's back. It should belong to the Sixth Leader. After searching, Lu Ye found a lot of jerky and two sets of clothes. In addition, there were a few things that looked like golden leaves. Lu Ye guessed that they were the currency of this realm.
A rumbling sound was heard. Lu Ye quickly patted his chest and found that the Dice of Fate was still there. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, his eyes widened in disbelief. He finally realized what the rumbling sound was.
That was the sound of movement coming from his stomach.
He was hungry!
Lu Ye didn't know how long it had been since he last felt this way. As his cultivation gradually improved, he no longer needed to eat. Eating was more to satisfy his appetite.
But right now, he could clearly feel his hunger!
The aroma of the jerky suddenly became rich.
Lu Ye immediately picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. He then grabbed a water bottle on the horse's back and drank a few mouthfuls.
Suddenly, the Talent Tree reacted. Lu Ye focused his mind and observed it. He found that there was an extremely thin gray fog on the Talent Tree.
Poison? Lu Ye was astounded. What kind of plaything was that Sixth Master? How could he poison his own food? Who was he guarding against?
But judging from the Talent Tree's reaction, the poison didn't seem to be much.
Lu Ye didn't care. He ate a few mouthfuls of jerky and drank a mouthful of water. Slowly, Lu Ye confirmed one thing. The poison was not in the jerky, but in the water.
It made no difference to him.
After eating his fill, Lu Ye began to cultivate, transforming his blood and Qi into spiritual power.
Although the Talent Tree could devour the world's spirit energy to replenish its consumption, the world's spirit energy was too thin. It didn't have much effect.
On the contrary, the cultivation method of transforming one's blood and Qi into spiritual power was more efficient. This was also his initial cultivation method. Because he wasn't talented enough back then, he couldn't absorb the world's spirit energy and the energy in spirit stones, so he could only use this method.
Even after many years, Lu Ye still didn't forget.
Moreover, when he was at this stage, the Talent Tree hadn't transformed yet. It wasn't like now, when it had a powerful devouring ability. Once the food entered his stomach, Lu Ye only needed to slightly stimulate the Talent Tree to completely devour it, transforming it into his own blood and Qi. Then, he could transform it into spiritual power. His cultivation efficiency was many times faster than before.
An hour later, his stomach was hungry again.
Lu Ye continued to eat and cultivate. After a few times, a big bag of jerky was completely consumed. The spiritual power he used in the battle was also replenished.
Gradually, Lu Ye found something that made him pleasantly surprised. The Asura Field's suppression on him wasn't absolute. He could use cultivation to break open more spiritual cavities and increase his strength!
This was undoubtedly something to look forward to.
Along the way, the black horse's speed wasn't very fast. Lu Ye didn't know whether it was going the right way or not, but since things had already reached this point, he could only trust it.
In the evening, when they reached a place, the black horse suddenly became restless.
Lu Ye, who was in the middle of cultivation, sensed something and turned his head to look in a certain direction. Over there, in a bush, a pair of green eyes were staring at him.
Four pairs of eyes met, and a fishy wind blew against Lu Ye's face. A huge and vigorous figure rushed out, roaring like a beast. A bloody mouth appeared in Lu Ye's field of vision.
The black horse was frightened and neighed.
Lu Ye raised his hand and grabbed the thick spear left behind by the Sixth Master, and stabbed it forward.
The two hundred jin weight was as light as a feather, and the beast was directly pierced through, hanging on the spear.
"Don't cry!" Lu Ye slapped the black horse's back.
After a short while, Lu Ye sat cross-legged next to a raging bonfire. A large piece of beast meat was sizzling on the fire, and a fragrant smell assailed his nose.
The hunger in Lu Ye's stomach became more obvious.
With the Talent Tree, no matter how much he ate, he could quickly digest it and use it to increase his strength.
Moreover, after killing this thing that looked like a leopard, he discovered something else. The beasts of this world didn't seem to be ordinary beasts. They were much more ferocious than the beasts he knew.
Even the black horse left behind by the Sixth Master was the same.
It should be known that although he didn't weigh much, the spear was not light. After a day, the black horse didn't feel much fatigue.
Was this a strange beast?
Lu Ye remembered the hunter's warning before he left. From this point of view, the so-called strange beasts were more ferocious and stronger than ordinary beasts, but not yet at the level of Monster Beasts.
It was in line with the level of this world.
Because this world itself was born with the concept of cultivation, but it was a low-level domain that hadn't really stepped into the level of cultivation.
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps. Under the flickering light of the fire, two figures came from the front. Before they arrived, one of them said, "Please forgive us for visiting so late at night. The mountain roads are difficult to travel, and the night is cold. Seeing the fire, we wanted to seek warmth. Friend, please don't blame us."
