In the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, Liu Quan politely sent Lu Ye to the door. Most of the cultivators in the Outer Circle were relatively poor, unless they were disciples from large Sects.
Therefore, it was not easy to come across a transaction worth a few dozen Spirit Stones, and Lu Ye's personality was quite straightforward, so Liu Quan naturally wanted to get to know him better so that he could take care of business in the future.
After watching Lu Ye's figure disappear, Liu Quan turned around and a fragrant wind hit him in the face. Someone was standing behind him.
"You scared me!" Liu Quan grumbled, "Why are you standing behind me instead of greeting the guests?"
The woman said sweetly, "I missed you."
Liu Quan glanced around with a guilty conscience and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said, "I'll find you tonight when I get off work."
"Okay …" The woman replied with a smile.
Liu Quan walked to the hall and greeted the other guests as if nothing had happened, while the woman glanced in the direction Lu Ye left, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
When it was night time, the two of them chatted casually. The topic of conversation was intentionally or unintentionally led by the woman to the transaction during the day. Liu Quan was a little sleepy, so he responded intermittently. Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
The woman lay in his arms, but found it difficult to fall asleep.
If she was not mistaken, the guest during the day was the one she served half a month ago. He sold a lot of ores and bought some Spirit Pills before leaving.
She never thought that in just half a month, he would come to sell ores again.
Looking at the appearance of the guest, he should be a Loose Cultivator without a doubt. A Loose Cultivator who had no one to rely on could gather a few dozen Spirit Stones in such a short time, so it was natural that people would pay attention to him.
Working in the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance like this, including the extra income, she could only get twelve or thirteen Spirit Stones a month at most. This reminded her of her days as a Loose Cultivator, and when she compared them, she couldn't help feeling a little bitter. After thinking about it for a long time, she felt sleepy, but she couldn't sleep well.
At the same time, in the cave of Azure Cloud Mountain, Lu Ye was cultivating.
During the day, after he finished the transaction at the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, he bought a lot of food with the remaining Spirit Stones and rushed back without stopping, finally arriving before nightfall.
With enough Spirit Pills, he immediately began to take them and cultivate.
As the spiritual pills were consumed one by one, the spiritual energy in the fifteenth orifice was gradually filled up, and it continued to rush towards the sixteenth orifice.
…
Twelve days later, Lu Ye sat cross-legged in the cave, meditating.
Today was a big day. If everything went smoothly, he would be able to break through to the Second Order Spirit Stream Realm today.
Since returning 12 days ago, he had consumed more than 30 yun spirit pills and finally opened the 18th aperture. Moreover, the spiritual power of the 18th aperture had been fully cultivated.
Recalling the circulation route in the Golden Cicada Carefree Technique, Lu Ye urged his spiritual energy to start from the tenth acupoint, then the eleventh, the twelfth … and finally the eighteenth.
When he broke through to the First-Order Spirit Stream Realm, Yang Kai had done this before, so at this moment, he was quite familiar with the process and didn't encounter any difficulties.
The spiritual energy smoothly passed through the nine spiritual cavities, slowly flowing like a stream. Following Lu Ye's actions, the spiritual energy in the nine spiritual cavities flowed faster and faster, circulating back and forth.
When he reached his limit, Lu Ye felt his whole body shake. Waves of air swept out, and the spiritual energy flowing through his ten to eighteen apertures began to circulate on its own.
Second Order Spirit Stream Realm, success!
Having had such an experience before, Lu Ye wasn't too happy about it. Instead, he was indifferent to it.
The current him was no longer the little Three Apertures cultivator who had wandered into the Spirit Stream Battlefield more than two months ago.
If reaching the First-Order Spirit Stream Realm gave him the qualifications to survive in the outer ring of the battlefield, then reaching the Second Order gave him the qualifications to walk freely. Of course, there was still a gap between him and those cultivators with higher cultivation, but Lu Ye was already very satisfied.
Compared to reaching the First Order Spirit Stream Realm, the time it took him to reach the Second Order Spirit Stream Realm was much shorter. From the Third Aperture Realm to the Spirit Stream Realm, it took him about forty days, but from the First Order to the Second Order, it took him less than a month.
The main reason was that he had sufficient cultivation resources, but even so, this cultivation speed was extremely terrifying.
One had to know that in the early stages of cultivation, cultivators would need about ten days to open a new aperture. This was because their main cultivation method was to breathe in and out World Energy. If their cultivation wasn't high enough, the efficiency of breathing in and out World Energy wasn't high, so their cultivation speed naturally wouldn't be fast.
This situation would only improve slightly after reaching the Fourth-Order Spirit Stream Realm.
In other words, in the early stages of cultivation, it was normal for an ordinary cultivator to break through one layer in three months, but for Lu Ye, he could break through one layer in a month on average. This was the joy of cultivation.
When he was in the First-Order, Lu Ye's body only had a single Minor Spirit Cycle from the Source Aperture to the Ninth Aperture, but after reaching the Second Order, there was an additional cycle from the Tenth Aperture to the Eighteenth Aperture. Now, he had two Minor Spirit Cycle systems in his body.
As a result, he could stimulate more Spirit Energy in a short period of time, and the destructive power of his Spirit Energy would naturally be stronger.
At the Third-Order, there would be three Minor Spirit Cycles, and so on. A Ninth-Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator would have nine Minor Spirit Cycle systems in their body.
There were still thirty Spirit Accumulation Pills left. Although Lu Ye wanted to continue cultivating, he also knew that haste made waste.
He first ate something, then walked out of the cave and found a mountain spring to take a bath. After changing into a clean set of clothes, he took out the Golden Cicada Carefree Secret Art and began studying it.
Next, he wanted to advance to the Third-Order Spirit Stream Realm. He needed to figure out the location of the Spirit Apertures after the Eighteenth Aperture so that it would be convenient for him to continue cultivating.
The mountains were quiet, and the occasional sound of birds chirping and insects flying could be heard. The mottled sunlight penetrated the barrier of leaves and shone on the side of the young man's face, making this scene seem like a scene from a painting.
"What are you doing sneaking around?" Lu Ye shouted without raising his head.
On the trunk of a big tree to the side, a small head poked out. If an uninformed person saw her appearance, they would definitely be frightened.
Yi Yi looked at the reading material in Lu Ye's hand, and after seeing that it was a low-level Secret Art, she curled her lips in disdain.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ye resisted the urge to punch her, tilting his head and asking.
"When are you leaving?" Yi Yi asked.
Although Lu Ye hadn't come out to hunt during this time, this was her and Da Hu's territory. How could they allow others to snore next to their beds? If it weren't for her fear of the Spirit Talisman in Lu Ye's hands, she would have cooperated with Da Hu to drive Lu Ye away. However, after suffering a loss at Lu Ye's hands, Yi Yi didn't dare to act rashly. What's more, Yi Yi could see that Lu Ye was much stronger than two months ago.
Lu Ye closed the book, stood up and stretched, "I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep!"
"Hey, I'm asking you a question!" Yi Yi said angrily, but she didn't get a response. She could only grit her teeth and curse, "Scoundrel, stinky thing, you're really pissing me off, wa ya ya ya …" She scratched the big tree next to her, splinters flying.
