Strictly speaking, the wine gourd on Li Baxian's waist was also a kind of Artifact Box, but it had a strange shape and was more powerful because all his Spirit Artifacts were stored inside it.
Lu Ye's Artifact Box was undoubtedly much worse than Li Baxian's wine gourd, but it was enough for him.
This thing could be tied to his waist without affecting his movements. Normally, his Spirit Artifacts would be stored inside the Artifact Box so that they could be used at any time when needed.
It was much more convenient than taking them out of his Storage Bag, especially since Lu Ye was planning to increase the number of Imperial Artifacts he had.
The beehive-like Artifact Box had nine holes, each of which could store a Spirit Artifact.
Lu Ye had already prepared a spare Spirit Artifact and only needed to refine it.
He bought the Artifact Box and fifty Earth Core Fires from the Heavenly Secret Treasure House.
Although Lu Ye had not encountered a situation where his Talent Tree lost its ability to burn pill toxins, he faintly felt that there was not much fuel left in his Talent Tree.
As his cultivation gradually increased, the consumption of Spirit Pills also increased, especially now that he was in the Ninth Order. If he only used Spirit Pills to cultivate, it would take him forty Spirit Accumulation Pills to open one aperture.
The more pills he consumed, the more pill toxins he accumulated, which naturally increased the consumption of his Talent Tree's fuel.
In addition, he was poisoned in the Heaven Expanse Sect last time, which consumed a lot of fuel in his Talent Tree.
He had not replenished his Talent Tree for a long time, nor had he obtained new Spirit Runes from it.
That was because he had been accumulating merit points to buy a Heaven Grade Secret Art for himself and an Aperture Supplement Pill for his Fourth Senior Brother.
The main reason why Aperture Supplement Pills were so expensive was that they were almost extinct. If there were still people in this world who could refine Aperture Supplement Pills to replenish the stock in the Heavenly Secret Treasure House, the price of Aperture Supplement Pills would definitely drop significantly.
Now that he had a Heaven Grade Secret Art and Fourth Senior Brother's Aperture Supplement Pill, he had no other needs except for a batch of better Spirit Artifacts after he broke through to the Cloud River Realm.
There was no pressure to buy the Earth Core Fire.
The Mid-Rank Spirit Artifact Box cost Lu Ye more than nine hundred merit points. This price was not too expensive for him, but for an ordinary Ninth Order cultivator, he would have to think twice.
After all, even the worst Heaven-level cultivation technique was only worth a little more than a thousand merit points. This weapon box was almost equivalent to the worst Heaven-level cultivation technique.
Not all mid-grade spirit weapons were so expensive. Low-grade spirit weapons in the Tianji Treasury were usually priced between 30 to 150 merit points. Mid-grade spirit weapons were usually priced between 200 to 500 merit points. Only high-grade spirit weapons were priced close to 1,000 merit points.
The casket was a special kind of spiritual weapon, so it couldn't be calculated according to the normal price.
The prices of the items in the Tianji Treasury were very fair. Because of the heavenly secrets, it was impossible to take advantage of the treasures in the Tianji Treasury.
Fifty Earth Core Flames cost Lu Ye 10,000 merit points.
He checked his remaining merit points and found that he only had a little over two thousand.
Thinking back, he had 310,000 merit points.
Merit points were something that couldn't be spent easily.
Looking at his spiritual cavities, he had already opened two hundred and twenty-five cavities. He was only fifteen cavities away from switching to a heaven grade technique.
When he came out of the Hundred Array Tower, he had already opened two hundred and eighteen cavities. Now, after more than a month and a half, he had only opened seven. The main reason was that he hadn't had much time to cultivate while leading the alliance army.
But to be honest, even this speed of enlightenment wasn't slow compared to the normal cultivation of an ordinary Ninth Order cultivator.
The Gluttonous Meal, a supplementary Secret Art that was almost useless to others, combined with the Talent Tree's ability to burn pill toxins, was an unimaginable help to Lu Ye.
Putting away the casket and Earth Core Flames, Lu Ye went back to his residence.
Yi Yi and Giant Armor were nowhere to be seen. Even Hu Po was nowhere to be seen. The World Energy in the station was so rich that no one wanted to waste time cultivating.
Lu Ye's residence was built by Chen Yu and his people in the earliest days. Hua Ci lived next to it, and it could be considered the place with the best scenery in the station.
Speaking of which, it was no longer suitable for Hua Ci and Chen Yu to stay in the Outer Circle because they had already reached the Eighth Order.
It was time for them to set off for the Inner Circle.
But the turmoil in the Inner Circle hadn't completely subsided yet. Moreover, the World Energy in the Inner Circle's Sects might not be as dense as Blue Blood Sect's.
So, it didn't matter if they entered the Inner Circle later.
After returning to his residence, Lu Ye refined the few Spirit Artifacts he had left behind one by one, making a total of nine, and then put them into the casket to nourish them.
Finally, he tied the casket to his waist, stood up, and moved around a few times, adjusting his position to make sure it wouldn't affect him.
When he asked his Fourth Senior Brother about the Way of Artifact Manipulation, Lu Ye figured out the mystery of his ability to control a hundred Spirit Artifacts.
Artifact Manipulation depended on talent, but it also depended on the strength of one's Soul. The strength of one's Soul was directly related to the strength of one's Soul.
Lu Ye's powerful Soul was undoubtedly of great help to Artifact Manipulation. This was also the reason why he could constantly increase the number of Artifact Manipulation because the strength of his Soul was constantly growing.
Li Baxian's ability to control a hundred Spirit Artifacts was partly due to his Soul being innately strong, but a bigger reason was that he could simplify his Soul into complexity. This was an innate talent, and even if someone worked hard to cultivate it, it would be difficult to reach Li Baxian's level.
Because his current method of Artifact Manipulation was based on his innate foundation and continuous cultivation, his natural starting point was higher than others.
Lu Ye didn't need to control a hundred Spirit Artifacts, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen a casket with only nine holes.
Being able to control nine Artifact Manipulation to the point of perfection was enough. With his current capital, he had the ability to reach this level.
The best tempering was actual combat!
Lu Ye took out the Breath Fruit Core he hadn't used for a long time and poured his Saint Qi into it.
After reaching the Ninth Order, he hadn't entered the Mirage Realm yet, so he was preparing to temper his Artifact Manipulation here.
The scene in front of him changed and he entered a familiar small space.
Lu Ye was slightly startled and raised his eyes to look not far in front of him.
Because in front of him was a figure wrapped in fog.
This was something he had never encountered before. For a long time, this strange small space had been a transit point to enter the Mirage Realm. Every time Lu Ye passed through here, he would spend fifty merit points to open a door and then enter the Mirage Realm.
He had never found any abnormalities here, but this time there was a figure here.
Was it one of the existences in the Mirage Realm? Or was there someone else who had entered this place through the Breath Fruit Core like him?
The other party obviously also noticed him, and for a moment, both of them were stunned.
Moreover, Lu Ye found that he was also wrapped in a layer of fog at this moment. He couldn't see the appearance of the other party, but the other party couldn't see him either.
Just as Lu Ye was looking at the other party vigilantly, the other party suddenly raised his hand and a red light flashed through the fog.
[This guy is from Myriad Demon Ridge!]
There was no need to be polite. With a thought, Lu Ye sent out several streaks of light from the casket at his waist, which rotated like a pair of scissors and shot towards the other party.
"Spirit Stream Realm!" From the other side came a voice that Lu Ye couldn't tell the gender of, and then he saw the figure wrapped in fog slowly send out a palm strike.
The Flowing Light Imperial Artifact flew back in exactly the same way it had flown out. This palm strike not only repelled several Spirit Artifacts but also hit Lu Ye's chest before he could react.
Then, Lu Ye's vision blurred and his consciousness returned.
[I was killed?]
Lu Ye was stunned for a while, somewhat unable to accept such a result.
The moment the other party attacked, he judged that he was definitely not the other party's opponent because the other party's Spirit Stream Realm spiritual power fluctuations were not what a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator should have. It was at least a peak Cloud River Realm or even True Lake Realm cultivator.
But being killed so inexplicably, Lu Ye was still a little annoyed.
He didn't even have time to slash the other party!
[Who is that guy?]
In that strange small space, they couldn't see each other's appearance. At present, they only knew that the other party was a cultivator from Myriad Demon Ridge, but their cultivation and gender were unknown.
Since the other party could enter there, he obviously had the Breath Fruit Core.
This wasn't strange. The Chess Sea had appeared more than once in the Spirit Stream Realm. Although the Breath Fruit Tree didn't appear every time, since ancient times, there must have been more than one Breath Fruit Core that could connect to the Mirage Realm.
In the past, Lu Ye didn't encounter it mainly because they entered the Mirage Realm at different times. Those who entered the Mirage Realm wouldn't stay in the transit space.
This time, by chance, Lu Ye entered at the same time as the other party, so they encountered each other.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Taking a step back, the more he thought about it, the more he lost. Lu Ye urged his spiritual power again and entered the small space.
The other party pressed one hand on the door leading to the Mirage Realm and didn't have time to enter.
Lu Ye pulled out the Pan Shan Blade from his waist and slashed.
Then, the sky and earth spun, and his mind was hit out of the small space.
The third time he appeared, the other party was not in a hurry to enter the Mirage Realm this time. Looking at the posture, he seemed to be waiting for him. Lu Ye had just appeared when a stream of light shot over, and then … Lu Ye was gone.
The fourth time, the fifth time …
It wasn't until the seventh time that Lu Ye slowly calmed down.
He was no match for the other party at all. This definitely couldn't go on, and because he was killed too many times, his head was already a little painful.
From this point, one could see the benefits of the soul becoming tougher. In the past, every time Lu Ye died in the Mirage Realm, he would have a splitting headache, but now, after several times, there was a reaction.
Lu Ye was angry that there was no way to find out the origin of the bastard, and he didn't even know who to look for for revenge in the future.
In the small space, after waiting for a long time, Lu Ye didn't appear again. The figure wrapped in the fog chuckled, pushed the door in front of him, and entered the Mirage Realm. In his opinion, the Spirit Stream Realm of the Grand Heaven Alliance was simply stupid. He showed off his courage and was killed so many times. His mind must have been hurt. Why bother?
At the same time, the Third Sacred Courtyard, a second-grade sect in the Military Province, welcomed a distinguished guest …
