Lu Ye originally thought that after he and Shen Kitten left the spiritual land for a few days, the worst situation they would face after returning was that the spiritual land would be occupied by someone else.
If that was the case, they would have to fight and think of a way to snatch the spiritual land back.
A third-grade spiritual land was not something that a true expert would take a fancy to. Cultivators who could take a fancy to a third-grade spiritual land were generally not very high in cultivation.
Lu Ye and Shen Kitten might not be afraid of others if they joined forces.
However, he really did not expect that something worse than he expected would happen. Others did not occupy his spiritual land at all. Instead, they took the firewood from under the cauldron and snatched the spring spirit away!
"Why do you want to snatch the spring spirit?"
"You can sell it or use it yourself!" Shen Kitten continued to explain, "For example, if we snatch someone else's spring spirit and place it here, then the spirit spring can recover. The dead spring can become a living spring. If we place it in the living spring, then the quality of the spirit spring will also improve. "There are so many first-grade spiritual lands in the Cloud River battlefield now. Not all of them are born first-grade. Most of them have fused with many spring spirits and slowly increased their grade."
"You can do that!"
"Many people who own spiritual lands will do that."
"In that case, if the number of people with cultivation is not enough, wouldn't owning a spiritual land attract disaster?"
"That's right. So if people find an ownerless spiritual spring, they will try their best to gather enough people in a short period of time. Otherwise, it will be difficult to keep it." She hesitated for a moment.
Then she said, "Sister Yiyi is really gone."
Lu Ye waved his hand. "Yiyi is fine."
"She just sent me a message."
A perfectly good spiritual land had been turned into such a state.
A bloody loss!
Not only did he lose a spiritual land, but many of the array flags and the base of a protective array that Lu Ye had left here had also been forcefully destroyed.
Although he still had a few sets of protective array bases, each set was worth more than 10,000 merit points.
Even someone as rich as Lu Ye.
He could not help but feel heartache.
The entrance to the secret realm of the Realm of Beasts was nearby.
Previously, it had attracted many cultivators to gather. Many people did not make it in time for the secret realm to open. However, the cultivators who gathered after hearing the news increased the risk of the spiritual land being exposed. This spiritual land was most likely discovered by someone.
Now, it was unrealistic to want to find out who did it.
Moreover, even if they found out.
Lu Ye and Shen Xiao Mao may not be a match for him.
Previously, the opening of the Realm of Beasts' Sealed World had attracted many Cloud River Realm Eighth or Ninth Order masters, so being able to see through the concealment of the Spirit Array arranged by Lu Ye was definitely not weak.
This meant that the other party did not understand the Array Dao.
Lu Ye recalled the words of the goateed elder in the Realm of Beasts.
The old man said that things had been going too smoothly for him recently, and that there might be some twists and turns, so he might lose something …
This was really a prophecy.
The old man's words were both true and false, although he had the ability to control Qi.
However, Lu Yeben did not take his words to heart.
Now, it seemed that he had underestimated the other party.
He also said that there was a strand of purple qi entangling his providence.
He told himself to be careful.
Purple qi … Lu Ye couldn't figure out what it was.
The spiritual land has been destroyed.
There was no point in overthinking it, so Lu Ye set up some simple Spirit Arrays nearby for warning and protection purposes.
Only then did he enter his room.
No matter what, it was more important to increase his cultivation first.
Now, he had a golden spiritual stick in his hand.
Two purple spiritual sticks.
A streak of blue.
One green, two white …
There were so many spiritual sticks.
It was enough for him to advance to the Third-Order Cloud River Realm.
First, he constructed a large Spirit Gathering Spirit Rune. Then, Lu Ye constructed many small Spirit Gathering Funnels on his body.
Only then did he sit down cross-legged.
Hu Po also jumped down.
Squatting beside him, he looked at him with bright eyes. Yi Yi also flashed out of Hu Po's body, ready to cultivate.
Lu Ye took out the golden spiritual stick first and crushed it.
Just like before, with the shattering of the spiritual stick, golden powder condensed and spun in front of Lu Ye.
It turned into a golden circle, and from that circle,
A large amount of pure spirit mist was produced out of thin air. As soon as the spirit mist appeared, it lingered around Lu Ye.
It gathered and did not disperse. As he breathed, as the small Spirit Gathering Funnels swallowed,
It quickly poured into his body and turned into his own spirit energy.
This spirit mist was pure and flawless. There was no need to refine it at all. He only needed to absorb it and it would become his own strength. This was also the reason why the spiritual stick could quickly increase a cultivator's strength. This kind of cultivation was many times more efficient than cultivators simply swallowing World Energy.
Hu Po and Yi Yi sat on Lu Ye's left and right, sharing the joy of becoming stronger with him.
The difference was that Hu Po and Yi Yi were seriously swallowing World Energy, but Lu Ye was a little bored. He simply took out a saber technique cultivation experience to study.
With the increase of his cultivation and the bloody battles, he had a deeper understanding of his saber technique than before. Especially in the battle with the Black Tortoise Sect's Sect Master Niu Meng, that burst of inspiration between life and death had benefited him a lot. In terms of saber technique, he might have a breakthrough in the near future.
Time passed bit by bit. It was not until a day and a night later that the golden circle slowly disappeared. The effect of the golden spiritual stick was exhausted.
Lu Ye immediately took out a purple spiritual stick and crushed it. Soon, the original golden circle in front of him was replaced by a purple one. Rich and pure spirit mist gushed out from it.
He had experimented before. After using different colors of spiritual sticks, there was no difference in the energy born. It was just that the duration of the energy was different. Therefore, in terms of value, the golden spiritual stick was the highest, and the white one was the lowest.
After all, a golden spiritual stick was equivalent to eighty-one white spiritual sticks.
Two hours later, the effect of the purple spiritual stick had not yet been exhausted. Suddenly, Lu Ye felt something and put down the saber technique cultivation experience in his hand.
The World Energy river in his body was surging endlessly, as if it had reached a bottleneck. As a large amount of pure World Energy continued to pour into his body, the World Energy river gradually gave Lu Ye a sense of fullness.
The feeling of fullness gradually deepened until a certain moment, when the surging river water fiercely surged, and the volume of the river of spirit energy suddenly expanded. The feeling of fullness also disappeared, and the fiercely flowing river of spirit energy calmed down at this moment.
Third-Order Cloud River Realm!
Lu Ye was slightly stunned. Even if he had expected this in his heart, breaking through to the Third-Order so quickly still made him happy.
The Cloud River Realm was really a magical realm. He had only been in the Cloud River Battlefield for half a month, yet he had already broken through to the Second Order. It had only been twenty days since he had broken through.
When he was in the Spirit Stream Realm, he could not break through so quickly. It took him several months to break through each layer, and he could only open one Spirit Aperture at a time.
Of course, the reason he could break through so quickly was because he had used enough spiritual sticks. The last time he was able to break through to the Second Order, it was because he had spent a lot of merit points to buy a spiritual stick from the Heavenly Secret Commerce Union. Before that, he had already used a green spiritual stick and a purple spiritual stick.
This time, it was because he had obtained nearly thirty thousand merit points in the Realm of Beasts, all of which he had exchanged for spiritual sticks.
If it were an ordinary Cloud River Realm cultivator, they would not have such good luck and financial resources when they first entered the Cloud River Battlefield. Of all the cultivators who entered the Realm of Beasts, only those who participated in the Black Tortoise Sect mission gained a lot. Even if the others defended Two World City, they only obtained a few thousand merit points at most. A few thousand merit points was the price of a purple spiritual stick. For cultivators above the Fifth-Order Cloud River Realm, a purple spiritual stick did not bring much improvement.
Comparing the consumption before and after, it could be seen that breaking through to the Third-Order Cloud River Realm required much more resources than breaking through to the Second Order. It could be foreseen that every time a Cloud River Realm cultivator broke through, more resources would be consumed.
There were still spiritual sticks in his hand, so Lu Ye naturally continued to cultivate. Based on the current situation, it was impossible to break through to the Fourth-Order, but as long as he used up all the spiritual sticks, it would be enough for him to take a big step forward in the Third-Order.
Hu Po suddenly let out a roar, his body releasing a golden light as his body uncontrollably revealed his true form. Lu Ye turned his head to look and could clearly feel that Hu Po's strength was converging towards a certain point in his body.
With the Pet Contract, his Life Qi, and his Beast Seal, Lu Ye could tell at a glance what was happening to Hu Po at the moment.
Hu Po was about to break through!
Double happiness!
Yi Yi also hurriedly said, "Lu Ye, Hu Po is about to condense a Monster Core!"
Hu Po had always been a Monster Beast. He could enter the Cloud River Battlefield because of the Pet Contract he had with Lu Ye. Wherever Lu Ye, his master, could go, he could.
Previously, when Lu Ye was cultivating, Hu Po had also been cultivating, taking a lot of Spirit Pills every day. He had also eaten a few Monster Cores before, and now he had finally accumulated enough to break through to the Monster General realm.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye looked at Yi Yi in shock. Yi Yi's current state was also a bit off. Her Spirit Body was flickering. Normally, she would only have this kind of reaction when she was seriously injured.
Yi Yi seemed to be a bit dizzy, but she forced herself to stay awake and said, "I'm Hu Po's Nightmare Spirit. His advancement will affect me as well. I'll probably advance as well. Lu Ye, I … I can't hold on any longer. You have to be careful …"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly floated into Hu Po's body.
Immediately after, Hu Po's sturdy body fell to the ground with a thump.
Lu Ye was shocked. He hurriedly checked and found that this guy was actually just sleeping …
Hu Po's advancement actually required him to be asleep. This was a strange thing, but Lu Ye had never experienced something like this before, so he didn't know if it was normal.
Hu Po's strength was still converging towards a certain point in his body, and Lu Ye could feel it.
When a Monster Beast advanced to the Monster General realm, it needed to condense a Monster Core within its body. That point of condensation was undoubtedly the condensation of a Monster Core.
However, even though Hu Po was in a deep sleep, the pure Spirit Qi continued to flow into his body. Because of the condensation of his Monster Core, the speed of the Spirit Qi entering his body was even faster than before.
To Lu Ye, Hu Po's advancement was undoubtedly a happy event. If he also counted in Yi Yi, then it would be three consecutive happy events.
