"They're all refined at home," Lu Ye explained casually. "If Senior thinks they're useful, feel free to take them."
Refined at home … A puzzled expression appeared on Ma Bin's face. Was there such an exceptional pill refinement master in the Kingdom of the Nine States?
Last time he spoke with Lu Ye, he learned that the Kingdom of the Nine States had only recently become a large realm. Logically speaking, it would take at least tens of thousands of years for such a realm to develop. Yet, it was able to refine so many supreme-grade spirit pills all of a sudden. The rate of development was unimaginable.
"Then I won't hold back," Ma Bin said as he retrieved a few jade bottles and swallowed some spirit pills.
Only then did he turn toward Lu Ye with a profound expression. "You received the inheritance of the Dao Tree?"
As a former cultivator of the Nine States who had lived from that tumultuous era until now, he naturally knew of the Dao Tree. The last time he saw Lu Ye, he didn't think much of it. But this time, after only a few decades, Lu Ye's cultivation had risen from the middle stage of the Constellation Realm to the late stage of the Moon Jade Realm.
This rate of cultivation was clearly abnormal. The only explanation was that he possessed an inheritance with immense potential!
Back then, Zhao Nian's cultivation base had also risen at such a rapid rate. He had witnessed it with his own eyes, so he naturally had his own speculations.
Lu Ye nodded. "Indeed, Senior has sharp eyes."
There was no need to hide this from Ma Bin.
"As expected, the inheritance of the Dao Tree is still in the Kingdom of the Nine States …" Ma Bin sighed. "Back then, Zhao Nian … was the previous successor of the Dao Tree. After his death, the inheritance of the Dao Tree disappeared without a trace. Many people guessed that the inheritance had been left behind in the Kingdom of the Nine States. Countless people searched for it with great effort, but to no avail. Who would have thought that after ten thousand years, it would be you who received the inheritance?"
His expression became serious as he spoke. "However, you have to remember that the Dao Tree can devour and refine all living things in this world, but there's one thing you can't refine."
"Cultivators?" Lu Ye continued.
Ma Bin's expression shifted. "You've tried it?"
Lu Ye replied, "Sunshine from the Dwarf Tribe once told me about this. He said that the Dao Tree can't be refined, so if a cultivator is refined, bad things can happen."
Ma Bin nodded. "That's right. The calamity of the Kingdom of the Nine States back then was largely due to this. You have to learn from it."
"I'll remember it." Lu Ye replied with a serious expression. In the Asura Field, he had experienced this before. That feeling was truly unforgettable, and it left him with an endless aftertaste. But, it also made him extremely vigilant!
"Cough, cough, cough …" Ma Bin suddenly coughed again. He raised his hand to cover his mouth. When he released his hand, his palm was covered in dark blood. It was a ghastly sight.
Lu Ye frowned. The supreme grade spirit pills that Ma Bin had just swallowed didn't seem to have any effect. He pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, can you let me take a look at your injuries?"
Ma Bin smiled and said, "You have medical skills? However, there's no need for that. I know my own injuries. Ordinary methods won't be able to heal them. "
Lu Ye said, "I don't understand the methods of medical cultivators, but since Senior knows that I am the successor of the Dao Tree, you should understand that I can refine some of the abnormalities in Senior's body. Perhaps it will make Senior feel better."
Ma Bin asked curiously, "The power of the Dao Tree … can still be used like this?"
He really did not know about this. Chao Nian had not shown this ability back then, so his understanding of the Dao Tree was not much better than the Little Human Tribe.
"Try it?" Lu Ye looked at him.
"Then let's try it!" Ma Bin was interested. He stretched out a large hand that was like a cattail leaf fan.
Lu Ye sat cross-legged in front of him. He placed his hand on his wrist and activated the power of the Talent Tree.
Ma Bin's expression could not help but change. He clearly sensed something.
There was indeed an abnormality in his body. Previously, when he fought against four experts of the same level, he killed one of them and injured three of them. His battle record was impressive. However, his own injuries were not light. Several powerful waves of mana that did not belong to him were rampaging in his body, making it difficult for his injuries to heal.
However, following Lu Ye's actions, those mana that invaded his body actually miraculously disappeared slowly. It was as if they were being refined by some power.
Ma Bin's condition gradually showed signs of improvement.
Two hours later, Lu Ye withdrew his hand.
Ma Bin silently sensed his body. He could not help but laugh and said, "I feel much better now."
However, Lu Ye did not look very happy. He only looked at Ma Bin and asked doubtfully, "Senior, your injuries are a little strange. Why do I feel like you have injured your own foundation?" If that was the case, then his efforts just now could not help Ma Bin much. He could only relieve his injuries slightly.
If his foundation was not repaired, then Ma Bin would never be able to recover. In fact, his condition might even worsen over time.
As soon as he said this, Zhu Yuan, who had been standing quietly behind Ma Bin, could not help but change his expression.
Ma Bin's laughter slowly faded. He looked at Lu Ye and said, "The Nine States' environment is indeed nourishing. After ten thousand years, a talent like you has appeared. This old man is very relieved."
Lu Ye's expression was serious. "Senior, did you really injure your foundation?"
However, Ma Bin did not think much of it. "It's not a big deal. I have taken my revenge over the years. I don't plan to do anything in the coming days. I just want to find a place to spend my old age in peace."
Lu Ye felt sad.
Although he was not at the level of the sun and did not know how famous the Azure Demon King Ma Bin was, he could tell from Nan Lian's words that Ma Bin was a well-known figure in this part of the starry sky.
He repaid his debts of gratitude and enmity as he pleased, living a free and unfettered life. But now, because of him, he was defeated here. If Ma Bin hadn't noticed him when he was escaping that day, he definitely wouldn't have fought one against four, and the current situation wouldn't have happened.
It was undoubtedly sad that such a person had to come to a sad end in the end.
"Is there no way to heal senior's injury?" Lu Ye asked.
Ma Bin slowly shook his head. "No."
Lu Ye was silent.
However, Zhu Yuan suddenly said, "Actually, there is a way."
Lu Ye looked up at him. "What way?"
Zhu Yuan glanced cautiously at Ma Bin. When he saw that Ma Bin had no intention of stopping him, he said, "Previously, when I was following Fan Gu's Rizhao, I heard him talk about His Lord. Although he was not one of the four Rizhao who fought against His Lord, he had some connections with the others. According to him, His Lord's Dao foundation had been damaged. Unless he could find a spirit jade vein to treat his injuries, there was no chance for him to recover. The other Rizhao, led by Eternal Wind, had sent out a lot of messages, warning the top domains with spirit jade veins to be on high alert and not give His Lord an opportunity to take advantage of."
"Spirit jade mine?" Lu Ye's expression changed when he heard this.
Ma Bin grinned. "Yes. My injury can only be slowly healed if I recuperate in a spirit jade mine. However, all the top realms with spirit jade mines in this world are top realms. In my current condition, if I dare to show my face in one of those top realms, I will be seeking my own death. So, Little Lu, you don't have to worry about me. I have lived for so many years, and I am quite satisfied."
Especially when he knew that the Nine States still existed and that there was a rising star like Lu Ye. Even if he died now, he would have no regrets.
Lu Ye did not know why his foundation needed to be healed in a spirit jade mine, but …
"Senior, I have a spirit jade mine!" Lu Ye said excitedly. Finally … there was something he could help Ma Bin with.
If it were any other method, he might not be able to do it. However, if it was a spirit jade mine …
"Hmm?" Ma Bin was stunned. "You have a spirit jade mine? Where did you get it? "
The Nine States had just been promoted to a large realm not long ago. It was impossible for them to have a spirit jade mine. Moreover, spirit jade mines were extremely precious resources. He found it hard to believe that Yue Yao would tell him this.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then said, "It's like this, Senior. I have a good relationship with the Dwarf Tribe. Previously, they asked me to search for the core of Mount Fangcun in a starry sky wonder. I was lucky enough to succeed. After that, I brought the core of Mount Fangcun back to the Nine States and placed it there. There is a spirit jade mine there. If Senior wants to use it, I can go back and give them a call. There shouldn't be a problem."
He was now the master of Mount Fangcun. The entire Mount Fangcun belonged to him. Naturally, using the spirit jade mine would not be a problem.
Even though Ma Bin had lived for over ten thousand years and was experienced and knowledgeable, he was still stunned when he heard Lu Ye's words. After a long while, he said, "You were actually able to find the lost core of Mount Fangcun and even placed it near the nine provinces? The Dwarf Tribe doesn't have any objections? "
Mount Fangcun was a famous starry sky treasure. For so many years, the various tribes of Mount Fangcun had drifted in the starry sky. They had many members and formed their own faction. They had never had close relations with other tribes. How could they allow Lu Ye to place the core of their sect's supreme treasure so casually?
He could not understand.
"The Dwarf Tribe didn't have any objections."
The core had been found and placed there. The three tribes of Mount Fangcun were being guided by the core and fused together. In a few years, the Dwarf Tribe would be able to regain the glory of their ancestors. Who would have any objections? Who would dare to have any objections?
Ma Bin was momentarily dazed. All this time, he had treated Lu Ye as a junior of his own realm. After meeting him that year, Ma Bin had no intention of forming any sort of relationship with him. But now, it seemed that he had underestimated this junior …
Speaking of which, how could the successor of the Dao Tree be an ordinary person?
For a moment, Ma Bin was truly moved. After all, this was indeed a method to heal injuries.
But soon, he slowly shook his head. "Forget it. There are some things that you might not understand. Even if your relationship with the Dwarf Tribe is not bad, they might not agree to it when it comes to the spirit jade mine. To any tribe, the spirit jade mine is an extremely important resource. It is not only related to the production of spirit jade but also the future of the Sunshine! "
After a pause, he said, "Moreover, I am in a lot of trouble. If the Dwarf Tribe knew of my identity, I'm afraid they would not accept me."
