What made Lu Ye feel helpless was that he didn't have the Core Flame!
If he had known this would happen, he would have spent all his merit points in the Tianji Business Alliance a few days ago.
He checked his merit points and found that he had more than two thousand five hundred. He could buy ten sets of Core Flame, but it was definitely not enough. Even if he sold all the spoils he had collected in the past few days to the Tianji Treasury, he wouldn't get too many merit points.
Where would he find the Core Flame? Lu Ye was worried.
At the same time, in the Core Region, in a second-grade sect's station in the Myriad Devil Ridge.
Two Heaven Nine cultivators sat side by side on a huge rock near a cliff. They were a man and a woman. The man had a dignified appearance and an extraordinary bearing. The woman was as beautiful as a flower and had an exquisite figure. She nestled in the man's arms, looking very intimate.
The two of them were the station's guardian and deputy guardian.
Without mentioning the man, the woman was Bai Lan, who was ranked forty-eighth on the Spirit Stream List. Looking at her wide robes and large sleeves, it was clear that she was a magic cultivator. Only magic cultivators who did not need to fight in close quarters would wear such loose clothes. For example, weapon cultivators, body cultivators, and ghost cultivators would generally choose to wear close-fitting clothes to make it easier for them to fight.
However, she was proud of her capital. Even though her clothes were loose, they couldn't hide her vigorous capital.
Bai Lan held the man's hand and said softly, "Senior Brother, don't worry. I chose the terrain suitable for magical cultivators. No matter how fierce Lu Yiye is, he can't kill me with one strike. If I can't beat him, I will admit defeat."
It had to be said that many of the Spirit Stream List experts that Lu Ye had killed had the same thought when they accepted the challenge.
Heaven Nine against Heaven Eight. If I can't beat him, don't I have the chance to admit defeat?
As it turned out, they really didn't.
"Are you sure it was Lu Yiye who challenged you?" The man's expression was full of worry.
Bai Lan smiled. "He has been fighting the list for the past few days. Every cultivator who is ranked higher than him has been challenged by him. Now, he is ranked fiftieth, and I am forty-eighth. Who else could it be other than him?"
"Such a thug … Junior Sister, why don't you just reject him?"
"If I refuse, the sect will be humiliated. How will my junior brothers and sisters be able to hold their heads high in the core circle in the future?"
If he didn't even have the courage to accept a challenge, then he would become a laughingstock. Furthermore, the matter of Lu Ye's attempt to challenge the Spirit Stream Rankings had attracted the attention of many Divine Sea Realm experts from the great sects of the Myriad Devil Ridge. Those Divine Sea Realm experts felt that it was an opportunity.
Now that Lu Ye was nowhere to be found on the Spirit Stream Battlefield, if there was someone who could have killed him while he was fighting, then there would be no need to waste time and effort looking for him.
Since he couldn't count on those ranked after the 50th place on the Spirit Stream List, he could only count on those ranked in the top 50!
If he couldn't count on the top 50, then he would count on the top 10!
After all, they couldn't possibly let him kill his way to the top of the Spirit Stream List, could they?
There had to be someone who could defeat him and kill him!
"But …"
The man still wanted to say something, but Bai Lan had already raised her hand to cover his mouth. She said softly, "That's enough. Don't worry. Master gave me a high-grade spiritual artifact a few days ago. Its defense is extremely strong. Although I can't display the full power of this spiritual artifact with my cultivation base, I won't be in any danger."
The man lowered his head to look at her earlobe. There was an extremely beautiful earring that looked like a teardrop. He suddenly understood. "So, this is the spiritual artifact that the Second Elder gave you."
A teasing smile appeared on Bai Lan's face. "What else could it be? Senior Brother, who do you think gave it to me? "
The man smiled embarrassedly.
Bai Lan reached out and tickled him. "Senior Brother, how can you think of me like that!"
The man quickly begged for mercy.
Four hours passed in a flash. Under the man's worried gaze, Bai Lan's figure disappeared.
In a small space that was about a dozen miles in radius, the fragrance of flowers filled the air. The environment of this small space was extremely beautiful.
As usual, Yiyi had almost immediately burrowed into the ground. After Lu Ye's vision recovered, he looked around. He didn't see any traces of his enemy. From the name on the Spirit Stream List, he guessed that his opponent this time should be a woman.
The small space wasn't small, so he eliminated the possibility that his opponent was a body cultivator or a weapon cultivator. As for a medical cultivator … that was even more impossible.
After the 50th place on the Spirit Stream List, there might be a few medical cultivators who cultivated in other factions. However, before the 50th place, there wasn't even a shadow of a medical cultivator.
After all, a cultivator's energy was limited. If one cultivated in two factions at the same time, it would be impossible for them to have a strong battle prowess.
Was it a magic cultivator? Or a ghost cultivator?
All in all, Lu Ye had experienced twenty to thirty battles in the past few days. Other than medical cultivators, he had fought against cultivators from various sects. He had even encountered some strange sects. Originally, for a Weapon Cultivator, the most effective opponent was a Body Cultivator. Ghost Cultivators were also difficult to deal with, but that was only for ordinary Weapon Cultivators.
For Lu Ye, his physique wasn't inferior to any body cultivator at the Spirit Stream Realm. In fact, it was even stronger. When he clashed with body cultivators, he would usually end the battle in two or three rounds.
As for the ghost cultivators, whose bodies were as fragile as magic cultivators … if they dared to sneak near Lu Ye, they would have to experience what it meant to have eyes that were as bright as torches!
Relatively speaking, among the factions, Lu Ye liked to meet ghost cultivators the most. That was because ghost cultivators relied on their ability to communicate with the Netherworld and would take the initiative to sneak near him. Then, every ghost cultivator who sneaked near him would be killed without knowing how they were exposed.
Next were magic cultivators, who were easy to kill!
As long as he could break through their defenses, he would basically be able to kill them with a single slash.
The task of finding the enemy's tracks was left to Yiyi. Lu Ye stood in place and waited quietly. At the same time, he threw a few spirit pills into his mouth and chewed them with his cheeks puffed up.
Ever since he started cultivating, he had eaten too many spirit pills to the point of vomiting. Lu Ye really wanted to give the alchemists a suggestion. Could they make some different flavors? For example, apple-flavored, orange-flavored, or even banana-flavored.
He ate dozens of spirit pills of the same flavor every day. He really couldn't stand it.
Yiyi sent a message saying that she had found the female cultivator. She was obviously very vigilant and was constantly changing her position to avoid being ambushed by Lu Ye.
"Lu Ye, Lu Ye. She's so big." Yiyi's message was mixed with some strange information.
"Hmm?"
"She's even bigger than Big Sister Hua Ci."
"Age?"
"No, she's the one you like."
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Don't be soft-hearted later."
"…"
In the small space, Bai Lan didn't dare fly on her weapon because she had long heard that Lu Ye's speed was unparalleled. Even sword cultivators couldn't fly as fast as Lu Ye. As a magic cultivator, she didn't dare show off her slight skill in front of an expert.
She moved quickly, searching for traces of Lu Ye. As a magic cultivator, if she wanted to defeat Lu Ye, her only hope was to not let Lu Ye get close to her. As long as she could put enough distance between them, no matter how strong Lu Yiye was, she would be blasted to pieces by her spells.
Suddenly, she stopped. In the direction she was heading, there was an additional figure standing there expressionlessly, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
Lu Yiye!
Bai Lan's reaction couldn't be said to be slow. The moment she saw Lu Ye, she raised her hand and cast a spell. Spiritual power surged, and water rippled, forming a fog. Three fierce beasts made purely of spiritual power rushed out from the fog and pounced at Lu Ye from three directions.
She raised her hand and pointed, and a huge disc of spiritual power appeared above her head. Runes flowed on the disc, and as the runes flowed, water arrows blotted out the sky and shot toward Lu Ye.
Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.
She thought to herself that the top 50 cultivators were not the same as the previous ones. Their casting speed, strength, and distance were indeed something she had never seen before.
Among the five elements, water element spells were generally weak, but the water element spells Bai Lan used didn't have this problem. The power of each spell was not inferior to that of the other elements.
The Weapon Box buzzed, and nine Spirit Weapons flew into the sky. They were divided into three groups and went to meet the three ferocious beasts. At the same time, he pulled out the Pan Shan Saber at his waist. Spiritual energy surged around him, and he accurately split the water arrows that shot at him.
The collision of fire and water element spiritual power caused a large amount of fog to appear in the space between the two of them.
Bai Lan stared at Lu Ye, and although her expression didn't show it, her heart was filled with shock.
Lu Yiye's mind was so strong. She could control nine spirit artifacts, and each one was like an extension of her body. Not only that, but she could also split her attention to split her water arrows without missing a single one.
This only showed that the other side was able to deal with her attacks with ease and didn't even bother to dodge.
At this moment, Bai Lan's heart ached.
Every spell cultivator hoped that their mind was as strong as possible, because the stronger the mind, the better the control of spiritual power, and the stronger the spell …
They would even do some special cultivation to strengthen their mental strength.
However, this weapon cultivator's mind was far stronger than a spell cultivator's, and Bai Lan couldn't help but be envious.
The disc in the sky slowly disappeared, and the water arrows stopped falling. Lu Ye put away his blade, and in the next moment, he frowned, and the nine spirit artifacts flew back into the weapon box.
He sensed that the connection between the nine spirit artifacts and himself seemed to have weakened a lot. The three fierce beasts formed by water element spiritual power were not only a killing move, but also had the effect of eroding spirit artifacts.
Water Element Formless! It seemed that this was Bai Lan's unique ability.
With this ability, other people would be at a disadvantage if they fought against her with spirit artifacts, because the power of the spirit artifacts would rapidly weaken.
Bai Lan was about to activate another spell, but Lu Ye raised his hand. "Wait."
Bai Lan looked at him vigilantly, and her spiritual power was ready to be released. "What?"
In battle, Lu Ye rarely said anything to the enemy, but this time, for the sake of the dozen or so leaves on the Innate Skill Tree that hadn't been burned, he had to say something.
"I want twenty Earth Core Flames."
"Huh?" Bai Lan was confused, and obviously didn't understand.
The Spiritual Stream List challenge was nothing more than a matter of life and death, or one side would take the initiative to admit defeat. Why did Lu Yiye suddenly ask for some Earth Core Flames?
Was there something wrong with this person's brain?
"It's sold in the Tianji Treasure House, and one is worth two hundred merit points. I want twenty!"
For some reason, Bai Lan calculated seriously. "Then wouldn't it cost four thousand merit points?" After saying that, her face darkened. Why was she calculating this?
