In that mysterious room, Lu Ye's consciousness materialized. There was a person waiting in front of him, most likely the Weapon Refining Grandmaster who had accepted his request last time.
But what made Lu Ye extremely surprised was that he could actually see this person's appearance clearly!
It was a rather seductive woman!
She was young, about thirty years old. Her skin was white and tender, and she wore a close-fitting floral dress that outlined her exquisite curves.
Lu Ye blinked, somewhat confused.
The last time he saw this person, they were wrapped in a thick fog. He couldn't tell if they were a man or a woman, nor could he see their appearance. Even their voices weren't real.
From their point of view, Lu Ye looked the same.
This was the protection of Heaven's Secrets.
This was because many people were unwilling to reveal their true identity when making such a transaction. Therefore, Tianji would bestow a layer of protection when making such a transaction in the Tianji Treasury, making it difficult for both parties to deduce the other party's identity through their gender and voice.
But now, Lu Ye was able to see the other party so clearly.
What was going on?
Lu Ye's first thought was that the other party might have forgotten to disguise themselves. But disguises weren't something that one could do on their own accord. It was a protection bestowed by Heaven's Secrets. Regardless of whether one was willing or not, they would be wrapped in fog upon entering this place.
So the problem lay with him?
The only difference between him and three days ago was that his cultivation had risen from Spirit Stream to Cloud River. But this wasn't enough for him to see through the other party's disguise.
Was this a blessing from Heaven's Secrets?
Just as Lu Ye was trying to figure out what was going on, the woman spoke, "Kid, your spirit tool is ready. Check it yourself!"
Her voice no longer had the disguise from before, and it sounded soft and tender.
Saying so, she handed over the Mountain Pan Saber.
Lu Ye took it and felt its weight on his wrist. Compared to three days ago, the Mountain Pan Saber was undoubtedly much heavier, but this weight suited Lu Ye's cultivation.
He raised his hand and pulled out the Mountain Pan Saber. Its sharpness flashed and quickly receded. The saber's shape didn't change at all, but the blade's color was dyed black, as if it contained boundless killing intent. The original cracks on the blade were no longer there, having been completely repaired.
The words' Pan Mountain 'were engraved on one side of the blade's hilt. This was the Pan Mountain Blade's name. When Lu Ye obtained this blade, these two words were already there.
However, at this moment, there was a feather pattern on the other side of the hilt. It was obviously left behind by the Tool Refining Grandmaster, but Lu Ye didn't know what this feather represented.
The entire saber gave off an extremely heavy feeling.
Lu Ye carefully inspected the restrictions within the Mountain Plate Saber. After confirming that there were eighteen restrictions, he sheathed the saber and nodded slightly. "Not bad."
"Then we have a deal." The woman took out the Heaven's Fate Contract she had signed with Lu Ye last time. With a slight wave of her hand, the Heaven's Fate Contract burst into flames. At the same time, Lu Ye felt the Battlefield Imprint on the back of his hand move, and 2,000 merit points were deducted.
"Let's meet again if fate allows it!" As the woman spoke, she was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. "Next time, don't bother me with low-grade spirit tools!"
Hearing a woman in her thirties call herself an old man … Lu Ye's expression was a little strange.
The woman's figure quickly disappeared.
Lu Ye didn't leave immediately. He stood in place and thought for a moment before saying, "I want a spirit tool to be upgraded!"
He casually took out a low-grade spirit tool from his storage bag and waited quietly.
A moment later, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ye. Lu Ye looked up and saw an old man. Just like before, this old man wasn't shrouded in thick fog, so Lu Ye could clearly see his appearance.
"You want to upgrade a spirit tool?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
Lu Ye nodded and handed over the spirit tool in his hand.
The old man took it and looked at it for a moment before saying with disdain, "A low-grade spirit tool!"
Last time, the woman also spoke with the same disdainful tone, as if to Tool Refining Grandmasters, taking low-grade spirit tools to be upgraded was an insult.
However, since he was already here, the old man still asked, "Name your price."
What if he ran into a sucker …
"One hundred merit points!"
As soon as Lu Ye spoke, the old man angrily threw the spirit tool back and disappeared. Before leaving, he scolded Lu Ye, "There's something wrong with your head!"
A moment later, Lu Ye left the small room with a pensive look on his face.
He was sure that in the Tianji Treasury, other people's disguises didn't exist to him at all. The increase in his cultivation realm was obviously not the reason, so the only reason was the blessing of Tianji!
After the blessing, his disguise was still there, but other people's disguises were equivalent to nothing in his eyes.
Was this a privilege given to him by Tianji? But there were no practical benefits, so what was the use of such a privilege? He couldn't use it to spy on other people's identities and then blackmail them …
Those people were all Tool Refining Grandmasters, so there was nothing to blackmail.
Walking out of the Tianji Hall, Lu Ye pulled out his Mountain Saber and poured his spirit energy into it before swinging it a few times.
The saber was still the same saber, but it had been upgraded to a mid-grade spirit tool. Lu Ye's cultivation realm had also broken through, so the power of his slashes was much greater than before.
Lu Ye might not be used to the increased weight for the time being, but it was indeed suitable for his current realm. It would be fine once he got used to it.
Returning the saber to its scabbard, Lu Ye's heart moved again. The weapon box at his waist buzzed and nine imperial weapons flew out!
These nine imperial weapons were no longer the original spirit tools. The original nine were all low-grade spirit tools, but now they were all mid-grade spirit tools. Lu Ye had changed them to mid-grade spirit tools.
Before reaching the Cloud River Realm, Lu Ye had some difficulty using these nine imperial weapons, mainly because his spirit energy couldn't keep up. But after reaching the Cloud River Realm, it was much easier for him to use them.
After reaching the next realm, he had to familiarize himself with various methods for a while.
After testing the imperial weapons, Lu Ye found Shui Yuan and handed his Mountain Saber to her, "Second Senior Sister, look at the mark left on the saber's hilt. There's no problem, right?"
Shui Yuan turned the Mountain Saber in her hand and looked at the feather-like mark, smiling, "There's no problem. Some Tool Refiners like to leave their own mark on their work, but this is just a mark and has no other use. Also, you should have signed the Tianji Contract, so with Tianji in place, those people wouldn't dare to do anything. But this mark … should be left by Master Yu."
"Master Yu? You know him? "
"I don't know him. I've only heard of him. He's a very capable blacksmith. The spirit weapons that come from his hands are all of the best quality. However, up until now, no one knows his identity or which camp he's from."
"Why is he hiding his head and showing his tail like this?"
Shui Yuan said, "Probably because he doesn't want to be famous, so as to prevent people from begging him to refine weapons. The cultivation world of the Nine Continents is so big, there's bound to be some capable people. Many capable people like to be quiet, so this Master Yu has always been in the Tianji Treasury to accept all kinds of requests. With the protection of Tianji, he doesn't have to worry about his identity being exposed."
Lu Ye thought that Master Yu's identity was already exposed, but he still didn't know who that woman was.
Shui Yuan returned the Mountain Saber and asked, "How does it feel to reach the Cloud River Realm?"
"I'm still not used to it."
"It's normal. A sudden increase in strength requires some time to consolidate. It'll be fine in a few days."
After chatting for a while, Lu Ye said, "I'll go take a look at Madam Yun. Madam Yun told me to find her after reaching the Cloud River Realm."
"Go."
Spiritual power surged, and Lu Ye soared into the sky. This time, he didn't use Flying Equipment, nor did he activate the Flight Spirit Mark.
After cultivators reached the Cloud River Realm, they would be able to fly.
However, Lu Ye had just reached the Cloud River Realm, and it was his first time flying directly with his physical body. It was inevitable that he wasn't very familiar with flying. His body swayed left and right in the air, and it was difficult for him to grasp the direction. He clearly wanted to fly toward Madam Yun's Bright Heart Peak, but as he flew, he deviated from the direction.
Moreover, compared to flying with Flying Equipment, directly flying with one's physical body consumed a lot more spiritual power.
Therefore, even if cultivators reached the Cloud River Realm, they still needed to use a Flying Equipment. When traveling a long distance, using a Flying Equipment consumed a lot less spiritual power than flying with one's physical body. In terms of speed, flying with Flying Equipment was also faster.
He still needed to practice more!
Lu Ye suddenly realized that after reaching the Cloud River Realm, there were still many things that he needed to do.
After finally reaching Bright Heart Peak, Lu Ye directly walked into Madam Yun's bedroom. Under the guidance of the maid, he came to a room and saw Madam Yun who was reading.
"Greetings, Madam Yun." Lu Ye bowed.
"You've reached the Cloud River Realm?" Madam Yun sized him up.
"Yes."
"Your cultivation speed is not bad." Madam Yun nodded slightly. She put down the book in her hand and stood up. "Follow me."
She walked out of the room, and Lu Ye followed closely behind.
As they walked, Madam Yun said, "The dao of spirit patterns is broad and profound. For those who are not battle pattern masters, spirit patterns can often be used as an external force. For example, tattooing one's body. You should have met such an opponent in the Spirit Stream Battlefield."
A guy covered in tattoos immediately appeared in Lu Ye's mind …
That was an opponent he had met when he was fighting for the rankings. When he first saw that person covered in tattoos, Lu Ye was vigilant for a while. In the end, it turned out that only one of the tattoos on that person's body was a real tattoo. The rest were all just decorations.
"I did!"
"Tattoos are divided into recessive and dominant types, as well as temporary and permanent ones. Generally speaking, cultivators below the Cloud River Realm can only bear temporary tattoos. However, after reaching the Cloud River Realm, their bodies can bear a permanent tattoo. Therefore, it is very likely that you will meet some opponents in the future. They are not spirit pattern masters, but they can still unleash the power of spirit patterns, and that is tattoos. Those tattoos are their hidden trump cards. You must be careful and never underestimate any opponent. "
"This disciple will remember."
"I called you here this time to tattoo a permanent tattoo. What kind of tattoo do you want?"
