Starting from the eighth tunnel, Lu Ye began to collect some High-Rank Spirit Stones. There weren't many of them, probably less than ten percent of the total number of Spirit Stones in the tunnel.
However, one High-Rank Spirit Stone was equivalent to ten Mid-Rank Spirit Stones, so even if there weren't many of them, the harvest was still not small.
Continuing forward, Lu Ye entered a new tunnel.
An hour later, Lu Ye swallowed a healing pill and took out some gauze to bandage a bone-deep wound on his arm.
The battle had just ended, and his boiling blood had yet to calm down. Not far away, there was the corpse of a fat insect.
According to the strength of this insect, it was almost equivalent to a Seventh Order Cloud River Realm cultivator. Even with Yi Yi's help, Lu Ye had to expend a lot of effort to kill it, and he had also been injured.
If it had been a Seventh Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, Lu Ye would have been no match for it.
Although Lu Ye's foundation was strong, and he could generally kill enemies two or three orders above him, if the gap in strength was too big, he wouldn't be able to win.
It wasn't so troublesome to deal with an insect with only one method.
After adjusting his breathing, Lu Ye continued to mine Spirit Stones in the tunnel with Yi Yi.
While he was mining, the golden light that had been enveloping his body suddenly extinguished. Lu Ye paused and quickly sensed it.
He had always been curious about the use of this golden light, but he hadn't discovered anything since entering. Now that the golden light was extinguished, there should be some changes.
However, before he could sense it clearly, an invisible repulsive force attacked him from all directions. His vision blurred, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in front of the rock wall from before.
Lu Ye was stunned, and even Yi Yi was stunned. She was just about to mine a High-Rank Spirit Stone, but she didn't expect to be out of the tunnel in the blink of an eye.
"So that's how it is!" Lu Ye suddenly understood.
The golden light that enveloped him turned out to be a token that allowed him to stay in the tunnel! No wonder it slowly faded with the passage of time. The moment the golden light disappeared, he was sent out.
[Unfortunately, I haven't finished collecting all the Spirit Stones …]
Yi Yi obviously also realized this, and her figure flickered as she plunged into the rock wall in front of her.
Lu Ye looked up and saw the pit he had seen before, but the copper plate he had embedded in it had disappeared.
Without the copper plate, there was no way to enter the Spirit Stone lode from before.
Yi returned and shook her head at Lu Ye, "There's nothing inside."
She had thought that the Spirit Stone lode was hidden behind the rock wall. If that was the case, she wouldn't need the copper plate, and she could sneak in there with her own abilities.
But when she examined it carefully, she found that there was nothing behind the rock wall. There were only rock formations.
"The entrance opened by the copper plate should have a teleportation effect. The mine we went to is obviously somewhere else. The real spirit stone vein is not here," Lu Ye explained.
The harvest this time was not small. There were more than ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones and several hundred high-grade spirit stones. It was enough to support his cultivation for a period of time.
After a brief rest, they continued on their journey.
The spirit vessel whistled through the air. Lu Ye activated the battlefield imprint and sent a message to the giant armor, asking for its current location.
.........
. Lu Ye frowned as he compared the position Giant Armor had reported to him last time, because he realized that Giant Armor was getting further and further away from him …
It didn't make sense. He had asked Giant Armor to buy a ten-point map. As long as he followed the map's markings and moved in his direction, the distance between them would only get closer and closer. It couldn't get further and further away.
After some thought, Lu Ye asked, "Did you follow the markings on the ten-point map?"
"Yes!" Giant Armor replied.
Yes, my foot!
Lu Ye was very sure that Giant Armor must have misread the ten-point map. Giant Armor wasn't stupid, but his thinking was a little simple-minded. The ten-point map might not be useful in his hands, and Lu Ye suspected that he had poor sense of direction. Otherwise, there was no reason why he hadn't met up with him for so many days.
"Don't move. Wait for me over there. I'll come find you!"
If Giant Armor continued to run around like this, who knew when they would meet up? It was better to let him stay where he was while he went to find him.
"Roar!"
On a spirit peak in the Cloudy River Battlefield, a tall and sturdy man held the ten-point map in one hand and checked it over and over again. He scratched his head with the other hand, and his eyes were blank …
On the spirit boat, Lu Ye sent another message. This time, it was to Fourth Senior Brother Li Baxian. He had looked for him a few times before, but the message didn't get out. He didn't know if Fourth Senior Brother was in the Cloudy River Battlefield or if he had entered some mystic realm.
This time, the message was successfully sent out. Soon, Fourth Senior Brother replied.
"Little Junior Brother came to the Cloudy River Battlefield?" Fourth Senior Brother's tone was undoubtedly pleasantly surprised. He obviously didn't expect Lu Ye to advance to the Cloudy River Battlefield so quickly.
"I've been here for a while," Lu Ye replied.
"Good, good." Li Baxian replied, "Little Junior Brother, take a stroll by yourself first. Be careful. Once I'm done with my matters, I'll come find you."
"Do you need help?" Lu Ye asked.
"No need. I'll handle it myself!"
"Then be careful, Senior Brother."
Although Li Baxian didn't say much, Lu Ye could faintly feel that his situation wasn't good. Otherwise, he would have come to find him immediately. He wouldn't have said to wait for him to finish his matters.
In a hidden place in the Cloudy River Battlefield, Li Baxian ended the message with a smile. He sighed: "So fast."
"What good news did you hear? You're so happy?" A gentle voice sounded. It was Feng Yuechan who had advanced to the Cloudy River Battlefield at the same time as Li Baxian.
"My Little Junior Brother is here," Li Baxian said with a proud tone.
Feng Yuechan was surprised: "Lu Ye?"
In the entire Nine Prefectures, there was no one else other than Lu Ye who would be called Little Junior Brother by Li Baxian.
"His cultivation speed is so fast."
"Of course!"
"But Senior Brother, with our current situation, it's not convenient for him to come over, right?" Feng Yuechan clearly misunderstood something.
"I didn't ask him to come over. I only said that he came to the Cloudy River Battlefield."
"Oh." Feng Yuechan understood.
Just as they were talking, Li Baxian's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Feng Yuechan's arm and shouted: "He's here. Let's go!"
With a flash of sword light, two figures flew up on their swords.
The next moment, more than a dozen streams of light chased after them, the leader of which shouted angrily, "Li Baxian, hand over that thing!"
Li Baxian responded with a laugh, "If you want it, take it with your own ability!"
Previously, he and Feng Yuechan had entered a Sealed World and snatched the biggest benefits under the noses of a group of Cloudy River Eighth or Ninth Order masters. Now, it was like a hornet's nest had been opened and they were being chased by a group of people.
Just as Lu Ye expected, his current situation was really not good, otherwise, he would definitely have gone to find Lu Ye and meet up with him immediately.
On the other side, Lu Ye ended his communication with Li Baxian and followed the direction the giant armour had pointed him in.
Suddenly, he sensed something and looked back, only to see a stream of light rapidly approaching him. Judging from the speed of the other party's Artifact Flight and the faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from it, if it wasn't an Eighth Order, it was at least a Seventh Order.
Lu Ye immediately focused his vision and saw the figure in the stream of light in the distance. It was a man in his twenties with a faint smile on his face. He had his hands behind his back and a leisurely look on his face. Judging from the other party's appearance, it was very likely that he was a Weapon Cultivator.
However, Lu Ye wasn't sure whether this was the case or not. Many cultivators would disguise themselves, so it was often difficult to accurately judge the other party's faction from their superficial characteristics.
Take Pang Dahai for example. Lu Ye had always thought that he was a Magic Cultivator, but in fact, this guy was not only a Magic Cultivator, but also a very powerful Body Cultivator!
If someone really naively thought that he was a Magic Cultivator and used methods that targeted Magic Cultivators to deal with him, they would definitely suffer.
Among cultivators, there were actually many such old foxes.
However, no matter what faction the other party belonged to, with Lu Ye's current strength, he definitely wouldn't have a good end against a Seventh or Eighth Order cultivator.
So, after a little observation, Lu Ye immediately added a Wind Attribute Spirit Rune to his Spirit Boat. In an instant, its speed increased sharply, and at the same time, he urged the Spirit Boat to fly to the side.
When he turned, the young man behind him also turned.
"Lu Ye, he's chasing us!" Yi Yi also sensed that something was wrong. If he wasn't deliberately targeting them, there was no reason for him to chase them so closely.
"I can see that," Lu Ye responded in a deep voice.
What was certain was that he didn't know the other party, and the other party didn't know him either. The reason why he was chasing them like this was obviously because he didn't have good intentions.
This kind of thing was very common in the Cloud River Battlefield, so when cultivators with low cultivation were alone, they would rarely fly without restraint. They would either form a group or not travel too far to avoid being targeted.
Being alone in the wilderness and being targeted by someone who was far stronger than him was undoubtedly a very troublesome matter. If he belonged to the same faction, then he could still avoid disaster. But if he belonged to the enemy faction, then he would definitely lose both his life and wealth.
"Fellow Daoist in front, please wait!" The young man in pursuit shouted from behind, "I have no ill intentions, Fellow Daoist, please don't panic!"
There was no way Lu Ye would believe him.
Chasing them directly and daring to say that he had no ill intentions, Lu Ye wasn't a fool. How could he believe him?
"Fellow Daoist, don't run anymore. If you keep running like this, I'll get angry!" The young man continued to shout.
Lu Ye turned a deaf ear. However, even if he added a Wind Attribute Spirit Rune to his Spirit Boat, he still couldn't shake off the other party. The distance between them was shrinking bit by bit.
The difference in cultivation was too great, and the difference in the speed of their Artifact Flight was like heaven and earth.
If Lu Ye hadn't added a Wind Attribute Spirit Rune to his Spirit Boat, he would have been caught long ago.
In fact, the young man behind him was very surprised at this moment. In his opinion, Lu Ye was only a Third Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, so it didn't make sense for him to run so fast. His cultivation was four orders higher than Lu Ye's, but he couldn't catch up.
This made the young man's eyes flash with a fiery look. The reason why the other party could run so fast was undoubtedly because of the Spirit Boat. This Spirit Boat must be an extremely good flight type Spirit Artifact!
