Lu Ye asked the Wild Saber Sect for twenty saber cultivation notes, but to the Wild Saber Sect, this was not a problem at all. Moreover, he was sure that the saber cultivation notes given by the Wild Saber Sect were more basic and did not involve any advanced cultivation techniques.
Lu Ye did not expect them to give him anything profound in the first place.
Looking at the contents of the notes, he was gradually inspired.
That was until Yiyi came up with a basin, wet a towel, and carefully rubbed it on Lu Ye's face.
After a while, in the small courtyard outside the wooden house, Lu Ye and Hua Ci sat opposite each other and ate.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Lu Ye said, "I'm going back to the encampment. I should be breaking through to the Cloud River Realm soon. What are your plans?"
"Nothing for now," Hua Ci replied casually as she cleaned up.
"Are you going to stay here forever?" Lu Ye was puzzled.
"Don't worry about me. I have my own plans. Anyway, if you work hard on your cultivation, maybe even if I'm at the Spirit Stream Battlefield, I'll improve faster than you." Hua Ci winked at him as she spoke.
Lu Ye snorted. "Then I'll have to work hard."
He stood up, took out his spirit boat, and stepped on it. "I've left some cultivation resources for you in the room on the third floor. I'll wait for you at the Cloud River Battlefield."
"Go."
Lu Ye nodded and soared into the sky, turning into a stream of light and disappearing.
Watching Lu Ye leave, Hua Ci smiled and continued to clean up the messy table. There was not much bitterness in her heart. A short parting was just for a better reunion.
When Lu Ye first set off from the encampment to the Core Circle, he had to ride with Giant Armor all the way. It took him a total of ten days to reach the Pill Heart Sect's encampment.
But now that his cultivation had increased greatly, his speed and endurance were much better than before. This time, it took him less than three days to return to the Jade Blood Sect's encampment.
Because of his identity as a guardian, he could quietly enter the defensive formation. But as soon as he entered, he was noticed by the cultivator in charge of monitoring the encampment. He went up to check and saw Lu Ye, exclaiming in joy, "Fifth Senior Brother is back!"
The news spread quickly, and people kept gathering here.
Lu Ye looked up and saw that there were many cultivators in his encampment. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, and only a small number of them were familiar.
Among those unfamiliar faces, there were some who looked very young, only twelve or thirteen years old …
Lu Ye guessed that these very young people should be the disciples that the Sect had recently recruited. As for the older ones, perhaps some of them were from the Sect, but most of them were likely disciples from other Sects who had come to Blue Blood Sect to cultivate.
Looking at the outer ring of the battlefield, there were countless Sects, but in terms of the density of World Energy, the Blue Blood Sect's station was second to none. This was because the last time Lu Ye had come back, he had bought as much World Energy as possible.
Compared to the outside world, the concentration of Spirit Qi here was eleven times higher. This was something that no sect in the outer circle could compare with.
If they wanted to break this limit, the Blue Blood Sect would have to raise its grade to the Sixth Stage and move its base to the inner circle of the battlefield.
Furthermore, the Jade Blood Sect was currently in the limelight. The nearby Myriad Devil Mountain Sect was suppressed to the point that they could not even raise their heads. Coming here to cultivate would not only ensure the efficiency of their cultivation, but also ensure their safety. Therefore, the sects that were on good terms with the Jade Blood Sect were more than happy to send their disciples here.
The only drawback was that the speed of gaining merit points was a little slow.
In the base, there were many pairs of eyes that were filled with curiosity, admiration, reverence, and all sorts of other emotions.
Lu Ye was stunned to find that the cultivators he was familiar with in the past were basically nowhere to be seen.
For example, Kong Niu, Ruan Lingyu, He Xiyin, Gu Yang, and the others had all entered the inner circle.
The Spirit Stream Battlefield had always been like this. The new generation replaced the old, and the cultivators were always rushing about the huge battlefield, fighting for their own cultivation and future. The ones who could survive the waves and waves would be the final winners.
Lu Ye didn't even know who the Deputy Guardian of the Blue Blood Sect was …
After entering the Tianji Hall, he exchanged the blessings obtained from the Myriad Devil Mountain Sect's stations for merit points. At a rate visible to the naked eye, the number representing the sect's merit points rapidly increased.
It had to be known that the twenty to thirty sects' stations in the inner circle had been destroyed, and all of their blessings had been taken away by Lu Ye alone. Even if they had lost a lot during the plundering, the number of blessings obtained in the end was still extremely terrifying.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the sect's merit points were fixed at a number that started with three words and was counted in units of ten million …
Looking at the entire Spirit Stream Battlefield, the Blue Blood Sect was probably the only sect with such a huge amount of merit points.
With so many merit points, the range of the Blue Blood Sect's station could be expanded by more than ten times.
However, Lu Ye didn't plan to use these merit points for the time being. The grade of the sect would definitely increase, and it was only a matter of time. Once the grade of the sect increased to the level where it could be moved to the inner circle, it would inevitably cost a lot of merit points. Currently, the Blue Blood Sect's station didn't have anything to spend merit points on, so there was no harm in saving up more.
He only gave himself a monthly salary, which brought his merit points to a round number of 100,000.
He used the Tianji Pillar to return to the sect.
Shui Yuan, who had already received the news, was waiting in front of the Tianji Hall. When she sensed the commotion, she looked up and saw Lu Ye walking out with a ring of storage bags hanging from his waist. She couldn't help but laugh.
She had long heard that this Little Junior Brother of hers had asked the remaining hundreds of Myriad Devil Mountain Sect's stations for a lot of benefits after conquering more than twenty stations. Now, it seemed that the benefits were quite a lot.
"Second Senior Sister." Lu Ye stepped forward.
Shui Yuan nodded and looked him up and down. "You've become darker and stronger."
"Exposed to the elements, there's nothing I can do about it." As he spoke, he took off the storage bags hanging from his waist and handed them all to Shui Yuan. He immediately felt relaxed.
"So much!" Shui Yuan only knew that Lu Ye had made a fortune this time, but she didn't know how much. After all, the Myriad Devil Mountain Sect hadn't spread the news in detail. Now that she checked, she was shocked to discover that the Myriad Devil Mountain Sect had lost a lot of blood this time.
"Leave it for the sect to develop. You can deal with it as you see fit." Lu Ye said, "I'll go pay a visit to the Sect Master."
"The old man isn't here." Shui Yuan said.
"Then I'll go pay a visit to Madam Yun." Every time he returned from outside, these two elders had to pay their respects immediately. This was etiquette.
"Wait a moment." Shui Yuan shouted, then took out a wooden box from her storage bag and handed it to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye took it and opened it to see that there were two jade bottles inside. The bottles were filled with some amber-coloured spirit pills, each of them about the size of a soybean.
"I refined it with the honey you got Giant Armor to bring back. It has the effect of nourishing one's skin. Madam Yun should like it if I give it to her."
Women would always care about their appearance, especially older women. They were afraid that one day they would lose their beauty. Therefore, in the cultivation world, things that had the effect of nourishing one's skin were generally sought after by female cultivators.
Lu Ye was surprised. "Then honey has such an effect?"
He really didn't know.
Previously, Giant Armor was forced to advance to the Cloud River Realm in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons. Before returning to the sect, Lu Ye brought back a large amount of honey for Shui Yuan to study and see if it could be used to refine pills that could restore spiritual energy. But now, it seemed that there weren't any pills that could restore spiritual energy, but pills that could nourish one's skin were refined.
"Yes, I've tried." Shui Yuan said with a smile. "And bringing this thing is better than bringing fish every time."
"Second Senior Sister is thoughtful." With that said, Lu Ye simply gave all the honey he had stored to Shui Yuan. Since honey had the effect of nourishing one's skin, it would be a waste to leave it in his hands.
As for the royal jelly, there wasn't much left. Lu Ye also gave it to Shui Yuan. As for how to deal with it, it was up to Second Senior Sister.
He took out his spirit weapon and went straight to Bright Heart Peak to meet Madam Yun. He presented the gifts he brought. As expected, Madam Yun was beaming with joy and was in a good mood. She praised Lu Ye for being filial and sensible.
However, there were still necessary tests. During this period of time outside, Lu Ye's attainments in the Dao of Spirit Tattoos had improved, so it wasn't difficult for him to deal with Madam Yun's tests.
Lu Ye benefited a lot from her guidance.
He returned the books he had borrowed before and borrowed a new batch of books.
Lu Ye realized that he had already read almost half of the books on the Dao of Spirit Tattoos that Madam Yun had collected.
In the evening, Lu Ye bade farewell to Madam Yun.
"After you advance to the Cloud River Realm, come and find me."
"Yes."
"Go."
As usual, it was the servant girl who didn't speak and only knew how to smile that sent Lu Ye out.
Every time Lu Ye saw this servant girl, he had a strange feeling. He always felt that this servant girl wasn't as real as what he saw …
When he returned to Jade Tripod Peak, Second Senior Sister had already prepared a table of medicinal dishes.
Lu Ye swung his arms and ate heartily.
"Oh right, Second Senior Sister, why do you want me to return to the sect before I advance to the Cloud River Realm?" Lu Ye asked as he ate.
"Nothing much. I just want you to advance in the sect's encampment so that the disciples can observe properly. Also, the old man said that your advancement this time might be a little unusual."
"Unusual?"
"En, it's not convenient to tell you now because the old man isn't sure. When you advance, you'll know whether it's true or not." Shui Yuan said as she picked up food for Lu Ye.
Lu Ye nodded and said, "Then Second Senior Sister, tell me about the Cloud River Battlefield."
After he advanced to the Cloud River Realm, he would enter the Cloud River Battlefield. Naturally, he had to understand some information about the Cloud River Battlefield in advance.
"Cloud River Battlefield …" Shui Yuan's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence. She pursed her lips and smiled. "That place is completely different from the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Moreover, the Cloud River Battlefield is much more interesting than the Spirit Stream Battlefield. However, it's also much more dangerous …"
Shui Yuan had obviously also experienced the Cloud River Battlefield. She immediately explained some of the rules of the Cloud River Battlefield to Lu Ye. Lu Ye listened carefully and memorized it.
At the end, Shui Yuan reminded him, "Remember one thing. In the Cloud River Battlefield, the Myriad Devil Ridge is not an eternal enemy. Sometimes, you even need to cooperate to achieve your goals."
"Understood."
