Lu Ye was instantly vexed. He shouldn't have been so savage and killed so many star beasts. This time, he really suffered a great loss.
The quality of the Flaming Sun Essence spat out by the Moon Jade Star Beast was obviously not as good as Rizhao's, but it was still very good. Lu Ye immediately picked up the Fire Gourd and swallowed it.
As a reward, he also dissolved a portion of the Blaze power in Rizhao's body.
After receiving such treatment, Rizhao's Star Beast was clearly more motivated. For the rest of the journey, its calls for companions became more urgent.
In less than a day, Lu Ye had gathered more than fifty star beasts. Rizhao only had the first one, Yue Yao had a few, and the rest were all Constellation.
Without exception, these summoned star beasts all contributed one or two strands of Flaming Sun Essence to Lu Ye. After some observation, Lu Ye discovered the source of the Flaming Sun Essence. It was the manifestation of the star beasts' crystal cores. Therefore, even Rizhao's Star Beast couldn't produce too much Flaming Sun Essence at once.
The quality of the Flaming Sun Essence they contributed was also different depending on the cultivation of the star beasts. Rizhao's was undoubtedly the best, followed by Yue Yao's, and Constellation's was the worst. But even so, it was still Flaming Sun Essence that could be directly devoured by the Fire Gourd.
After another half a day, they returned to their original location. The number of star beasts had increased a little. A large group of them had gathered together.
Lu Ye found Rizhao's Star Beast and held a strand of Flaming Sun Essence in his hand. He sent it a sound transmission, "I want this. A lot, a lot. Do you understand?"
Rizhao's Star Beast blinked. Its intelligence wasn't very high, but since it had already responded to Lu Ye's request, it naturally understood what he meant.
It immediately turned around and squeaked at the other star beasts. As if receiving an order, the star beasts sank into the giant red star and disappeared. Even Rizhao's Star Beast disappeared in an instant.
Through the Blaze power, Lu Ye could sense that it was rapidly moving away, but it didn't seem to be running away.
Lu Ye vaguely had some guesses, so he simply let it be and waited patiently.
Anyway, as long as it can't resolve the Power of Brightness, it will never be able to escape from his control. If the opponent is a real Spiritual Wisdom cultivator, Lu Ye will have to pay more attention, but if it's just a Star Beast, he doesn't need to care too much.
Time passed by, and the Sunshine Star Beast that had left would return every two or three days, bringing back a different number of Star Beasts each time. This led to more and more Star Beasts gathering in the magma below Lu Ye.
This completely confirmed Lu Ye's previous conjecture that it had left to summon more of its kind. It was for this reason that he had allowed the Star Beast to leave.
Lu Ye took some time to investigate the situation of these star beasts. She discovered that they were scattered and quietly staying in their positions like fish in water. Every time they breathed, strange energy from the surrounding lava would gather in front of them and gradually transform into the appearance of Flaming Sun Essence.
This was undoubtedly an instinct of their race. Compared to cultivators who used their own techniques or treasures to refine the Flaming Sun Essence, it was much more efficient.
Lu Ye was overjoyed. This way, he only needed to come back every once in a while to check on them and harvest them.
The Star Beasts that gathered here were like crops in the field. He didn't need to worry about them at all.
He didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise after coming to the Giant Red Star. He was already dissatisfied with the speed of the Fire Gourd's nourishing of the strange fire. With the help of the Star Beasts, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of time.
About a month after Lu Ye came to the Giant Red Star, an uninvited guest suddenly came to visit.
Sensing the other's aura approaching, Lu Ye hurriedly put away the Fire Gourd and looked up.
Soon, a white-haired old man wearing a wide robe with large sleeves appeared in his field of vision. The other party was standing on a cloud of dense purple gas and had extraordinary power.
He landed directly in front of Lu Ye and said in a clear voice, "This old man is Ji Boyun. Fellow Daoist Li, you've managed to gain a foothold in such a short time."
Lu Ye didn't know why the other party came to find him, but when he heard the other party's voice, he knew that this was the person who had sent him a voice transmission when he first arrived here.
At that time, Lu Ye had even greeted him, but this Ji Boyun didn't seem to have any intention of interacting with him. He only said that it wouldn't be too late to talk to him after a while.
Lu Ye didn't understand his meaning at that time, but now he understood. This Giant Red Star not only had a harsh environment, but also Star Beasts. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to gain a foothold here.
The fact that he could stay here for such a long time obviously meant that he had received Ji Boyun's approval. That was why he took the initiative to come and meet him.
"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. I was just lucky." Lu Ye replied. He could tell that this Ji Boyun was in the late Sunshine Realm. He didn't know which galaxy he came from.
He was checking the other party's cultivation. Ji Boyun did the same. He asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Li, you're only in the early Sunshine Realm?"
"Yes!" Lu Ye nodded.
Ji Boyun stroked his beard. "Your cultivation is a little weak … But since you're able to gain a foothold here, you have your merits!"
He commented casually, not caring whether Lu Ye was willing to listen or not.
"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?" Lu Ye asked. He had been here for a month. Although he hadn't interacted with many people, he had a rough idea of the situation on the Giant Red Star.
Putting aside the cultivators who were refining the Flaming Sun Essence outside the Giant Red Star, there were only three other cultivators who could stay here. This Ji Boyun was in the late Sunshine Realm. Lu Ye didn't know the cultivation of the other two, but they were definitely stronger than him. This was because an ordinary early Sunshine Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to stay here for a long time.
"Indeed!" Ji Boyun nodded. "Let's cut to the chase. Since we're here on the Giant Red Star, we're here to make use of the special environment to cultivate. However, you should know that we're not the only ones here. There are many Sun Flame Beasts here. Ordinary Sun Flame Beasts aren't much of a threat to us, and we can kill them easily. However, there's a Sun Flame Beast King that's hard to deal with. It's secretive and vigilant, and it attacks us every few days. Therefore, we've been thinking of ways to get rid of that Sun Flame Beast King to prevent future trouble. This is also for our future cultivation. We've already planned to act soon, but since you're here, we'll need you to help us too!"
After listening to his explanation, Lu Ye finally understood why Ji Boyun had come to find him.
The Sun Flame Beasts he mentioned should be the star beasts.
From Ji Boyun's point of view, it was only right for Lu Ye to help. After all, he was going to cultivate here in the future. He couldn't say that others were helping while he watched from the sidelines. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
However, from Lu Ye's point of view, it wasn't like that …
If Ji Boyun had come to find him a month ago when he had just arrived, he might not have rejected him. However, at this point in time, the Sun Flame Beasts were all his crops. They were chickens that could lay eggs. He couldn't wait to protect them. How could he possibly lay his hands on them?
Thus, after pondering for a moment, Lu Ye said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I won't be participating in this matter. I'm weak. If I rashly get involved, I'm afraid I'll drag you all down."
Ji Boyun said calmly, "That's fine. Since you're able to establish yourself here, you have the right to participate. We'll take action in three days. When the time comes, you can come over on your own."
After saying that, he turned and left. Judging by his attitude, he clearly didn't intend to let Lu Ye stay out of this matter. He also didn't intend to waste any more words with him. He had come here to inform Lu Ye.
Looking at Ji Boyun's back as he left, Lu Ye's expression was calm.
Although he didn't know what Ji Boyun and the others were going to do, since they were going against the Sun Flame Beast King, he just needed to take care of his side.
As long as he took care of the Sun Flame Beast King, Ji Boyun and the others wouldn't be able to use any tricks.
As he thought of this, he channeled his mana and sank into the giant red star.
After going down a few miles, he could see a large number of Sun Flame Beasts scattered around, absorbing the fire energy around them. Many of the Sun Flame Beasts had condensed Flaming Sun Essence in front of them, but most of them weren't harvested yet.
Lu Ye was like a lord, patrolling his own territory. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness surged in all directions. "All of you, work hard. Don't slack off!"
These Sun Flame Beasts summoned by the Sun Flame Beast King weren't afraid of him.
Lu Ye quickly found the location of the Sun Flame Beast King. The wounds on its body hadn't healed completely. There were still some remnants of the power of brightness. This was also Lu Ye's method of controlling it.
The Sun Flame Beast King wasn't working. It was licking its wounds. Seeing Lu Ye's arrival, it instantly squeaked, indicating that it wasn't slacking off. It would immediately set off to find more companions.
Just as it was about to leave, Lu Ye grabbed it and told it that there was danger outside. It shouldn't run around.
The Sun Flame Beast King looked at him, confused.
Lu Ye had no choice. He could only pull out his Pan Shan Saber and slash at it. Then, he pointed outside.
The Sun Flame Beast King seemed to be even more confused.
After a long time, Lu Ye finally returned to his own place. He wasn't sure if the Sun Flame Beast King understood what he meant. However, as long as he had the power of brightness, he could keep an eye on this guy's movements. It was better to be safe than sorry.
Hence, Ji Boyun and the others were destined to fail in their mission against the Sun Flame Beast King.
Fortunately, the Sun Flame Beast King seemed to have understood what he meant. In the next few days, it didn't leave.
This made Lu Ye very happy.
In the blink of an eye, the three-day deadline was up.
Lu Ye still stayed in his own place. He activated the power of the Fire Gourd while paying attention to the Sun Flame Beast King. As for Ji Boyun, he didn't care at all.
At the same time, in Ji Boyun's territory, three figures stood side by side. The one in the middle was Ji Boyun, who had gone to look for Lu Ye a few days ago. The other two were a man and a woman. The man was tall and sturdy, and his upper body was naked. Fiery red lines covered his entire body, making him look extremely strange. The woman had a head of red hair that seemed to be burning in flames. Even her beautiful eyes seemed to have the strange phenomenon of rising flames. (End of Chapter)
