Just as he was feeling depressed, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly rushed off in a certain direction.
He didn't know why Jiu Yan had summoned him.
A moment later, inside the spirit jade mine, Lu Ye bowed. "Greetings, Senior."
Jiu Yan was still cultivating, but she didn't make Lu Ye wait. Instead, she directly asked, "Have you considered the matter from last time?"
"What?" Lu Ye was stunned. The matter from last time … was about Zhu Yuan?
However, he quickly realized that Jiu Yan was probably asking about accepting him as a disciple.
He didn't know how to answer, because he hadn't considered this matter at all. However, it wouldn't be good if he rejected her directly.
"It seems you're unwilling!" Jiu Yan snorted softly. She could already tell what he was thinking.
Lu Ye apologized. "Senior, please forgive me. It's just that …"
"No need to say anything more. Since you're unwilling, I won't force you," Jiu Yan interrupted him, seemingly a little annoyed. "On the other hand, your cultivation seems to have made significant progress."
Lu Ye hurriedly said, "I've been cultivating in seclusion recently, and I've made some progress."
Jiu Yan said, "Yue Yao and Rizhao are only one step apart, but in reality, they're worlds apart. Once you cross over, you'll enter a whole new world. However, if you can't, you'll only be wasting your life away. You're currently at a critical juncture, so you must remember to guard against arrogance and rashness. Try not to fight with others, and don't get injured easily."
"Yes," Lu Ye replied. He suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood Jiu Yan. She didn't seem to hate him at all. Her words were clearly the concern of a senior toward a junior.
"I heard that you're looking for treasures that can improve the quality of your art source?" Jiu Yan suddenly changed the topic.
Three World Island had been sparing no effort in offering rewards for such treasures, so it was impossible for Jiu Yan not to have heard of them.
"That's right." Lu Ye's expression changed. "Does Senior have a way?"
Jiu Yan didn't answer. She only said, "Of course, the higher the quality of your art source, the better. However, everyone has their own limits, so it's fine as long as your art source's quality is sufficient. There's no need to pursue it too much."
Lu Ye naturally understood this principle.
An art source's main function was to convert the spiritual energy that a cultivator refined into magic power during cultivation. it was something unique to Yue Yao.
If a cultivator's efficiency in refining spiritual energy was limited, then no matter how high the grade of the source was, it would be meaningless, because there would not be enough spiritual energy to be converted.
Therefore, it was fine as long as he had enough source energy …
But Lu Ye didn't just want to have enough. He also wanted to polish his spiritual source to perfection. This wasn't something that he could tell Jiuyan. He could only obediently say, "Junior understands."
"It's good that you understand." As Jiu Yan spoke, she flicked her finger and an item flew over.
Lu Ye instinctively grabbed it. However, before he could inspect it, Jiuyan's voice rang out, "Go on. Cultivate well and break through as soon as possible."
Lu Ye blinked, then bowed and left.
Only after leaving the Spirit Jade mine and returning to his residence did Lu Ye have a chance to check what Jiu Yan had given him. It was a storage ring, but when Lu Ye checked the contents of the ring, he couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.
This was because there were a total of eight treasures in the ring that could temper the quality of one's source. According to the rules of the Asura Field, these eight treasures were worth at least an Asura Seal.
What did Jiu Yan mean by this?
She had called him over to give him pointers and said that it was fine as long as his source energy was of sufficient quality. It was as if she was trying to persuade him not to waste his energy and time on this. However, she had also given him these four treasures …
Lu Ye couldn't figure out what was going on.
As a member of the Sunshine Sect who had lived for who knew how many years, it was normal for her to have such treasures. But … why would she give them to him?
This was what Lu Ye couldn't understand.
Aunt Yue should want them. Not to mention Aunt Yue, Chu Shen had already advanced to Yue Yao. He also wanted them. Why would Jiu Yan give them to him?
If it was because of Chu Shen, it didn't make sense for him to love the house and its crow.
After thinking about it, Lu Ye felt that there was only one explanation. Whether it was Aunt Yue or Chu Shen, the quality of their source energy was sufficient. The treasures in Jiu Yan's hands were completely unnecessary. She also knew that he had asked the Three World Island to put a bounty on such treasures, so she gave them to him.
But no matter what, this gift from Jiu Yan was exactly what Lu Ye wanted. He silently remembered this favor in his heart.
Now that the gap between their strength and status was too big, there was no need to talk about repayment. He would think about it in the future.
After happily refining these treasures, Lu Ye keenly sensed that there were some unusual changes in his source energy. It was as if … it wasn't too far away from reaching the Great Circle stage!
He carefully sensed it and confirmed that it was not an illusion. His source energy was indeed not far from perfection.
This made him pleasantly surprised. It seemed that his previous estimate was somewhat different from the actual situation.
Based on the current situation, he only needed two or three more sets of treasures to complete the task.
Two or three treasures … it was really not much. If he was lucky, he might be able to achieve it in one day. Even if he was unlucky, there was still hope for him to achieve it in two or three years.
Now that his cultivation was enough, and he had fulfilled all the requirements for breaking through to the Sunshine Sect, all that was left was to condense the Qi Refining Flower.
Lu Ye was in a good mood and was looking forward to it.
On the Island of Versatility, Yuan Du was guarding the palace.
A gust of evil wind swept over, and Hei Yun revealed himself.
Yuan Du sensed something and immediately came out to greet him. When he saw the figure in Hei Yun's hand, he nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Hei Yun is quite fast. You caught her so quickly."
Hei Yun threw the figure in his hand to the ground in front of him. "It's just catching Yue Yao. What's the trouble?"
That being said, this Yue Yao was not someone he had casually caught. At this moment, Yue Yao was lying on the ground with a slender figure. Her exposed skin was blood-red, and her two pointy ears indicated that she was a Blood Tribe member!
At this moment, this Blood Tribe member Yue Yao had been sealed by Hei Yun and couldn't move at all. Her face was full of fear and uneasiness.
"So what do we do next?" Hei Yun asked Yuan Du with a gloomy expression.
Not only had Zi Xuan suffered heavy losses, but he had also listened to Yuan Du's nonsense and made a trip to the Nine States. In the end, even the avatar he had spent three thousand years to create had died there. How could he not take revenge for such a great grudge?
Moreover, unlike Yuan Du, he had recognized the Nine States and was still thinking about the supreme treasure of the starry sky, the Dao Tree.
His avatar hadn't found any traces of the Dao Tree in the Nine States. In addition, he had previously inquired about Lu Ye, so he boldly speculated that this Lu Ye might have obtained the inheritance of the Dao Tree. Otherwise, how could his cultivation have improved so quickly?
This was a very suspicious point. Since it was suspicious, he couldn't let it go.
With this speculation, he naturally came to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea to take down Lu Ye!
In this regard, he and Yuan Du were like-minded. The only difference was that Yuan Du was purely venting his anger for the sake of his own dignity, but he had other motives.
He had no choice but to join forces with Yuan Du.
If he wanted to take down Lu Ye in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, he couldn't avoid the Ten Thousand Elephant Galaxy. Therefore, he could only cooperate with Yuan Du. With Yuan Du's help, the resistance would be much lower.
He didn't have any other requests. He only wanted Lu Ye to be handed over to him. He told Yuan Du that he wanted to avenge the dead Zi Xuan demon cultivator and bring him back to the Zi Xuan demon planet to sacrifice to the demon god.
Yuan Du didn't suspect anything and immediately agreed. In any case, as long as he could take down the Three World Island and the passage to the Mermaid Clan's territory, there was no harm in handing Lu Ye over to Hei Yun. He believed that Hei Yun wouldn't let Lu Ye live.
Moreover, Zi Xuan had indeed suffered great losses because of him. Yuan Du knew that if he wanted to maintain his relationship with Zi Xuan, he couldn't refuse Hei Yun's small request.
Both of them had their own motives, so of course they hit it off.
Moreover, from their point of view, the two Rikus joining forces to plot against Yue Yao and the top-grade spiritual island behind her was like pinching a conch with ten fingers. No accidents would happen.
Half a year ago, Hei Yun came once and reached a verbal agreement with Yuan Du. Then, Yuan Du asked him to capture a member of the Blood Tribe. Hei Yun didn't know why, but since it was a cooperation, he didn't refuse.
He had also worked hard to capture Yue Yao in the Blood Tribe's domain. Because of this, he had been hunted down by a few Rikus for a month.
"Next … we just need to wait." Yuan Du smiled slightly, as if victory was already in his hands.
As long as Jiu Yan left the Three World Island, then he could act without worry. Jiu Yan's presence there made him wary.
As for how to get Jiu Yan to leave the Three World Island, he had already planned for a long time. He believed that in a few days, the news would reach Jiu Yan's ears.
Days passed by.
On this day, in the Three World Island's garrison area, a group of people sat cross-legged in front of Lu Ye's bamboo house. They surrounded him in the middle.
Lu Ye couldn't raise his cultivation level, and he couldn't find any treasures to improve the quality of his spiritual power source. He seemed to have nothing to do. He wasn't willing to participate in the management of the Three World Island, so he simply spread the news that anyone who had any questions about cultivation could ask him at any time.
His original intention was to help the island's cultivators solve some of their problems and help them grow better. However, after the news was spread, many people came to him every day to ask for help.
Gradually, more and more people gathered, and gradually, it became the current scale.
Not only people from the Qingli Dao World and the Yuconch World came to look for him, many seniors from the Nine States came as well. Even the Sect Master came to ask him a few questions.
Lu Ye answered all of their questions carefully, and many cultivators learned a lot.
While it was bustling here, Lu Ye's expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked in a direction with a puzzled expression.
Half a day later, the crowd dispersed. Lu Ye went to look for Chu Shen. "Why did Senior Jiu Yan suddenly leave?"
He clearly felt Jiu Yan's aura flash past. She should have left the Three World Island. (End of Chapter)
