In the Fox Demon's bedroom, Zhou Yuntian hurried over and bowed.
"What's the matter?"
The Fox Demon, who was lying on the soft bed, asked softly. A female cultivator stood in front of her, holding an incense burner. Smoke rose from the incense burner and entered the Fox Demon's nose, causing her face to redden. Even her slightly opened eyes were filled with mist.
"Senior, this subordinate has been impolite. Please take a look." Zhou Yuntian said as he opened his chest and circulated his spirit energy. In the next moment, a Spirit Rune appeared on his chest.
"Hm?" The Fox Demon opened her eyes slightly and looked at the Spirit Rune. Raising her hand, she shot out a beam of spirit energy and hit the Spirit Rune on Zhou Yuntian's chest.
The Spirit Rune dimmed but did not break. Under the attack, Zhou Yuntian took a few steps back.
"Is this a Spirit Rune?" The Fox Demon was quite knowledgeable and could naturally tell what this Spirit Rune was.
"Senior, it is a Spirit Rune and it was done by Lu Ye."
"He has such ability!" The Fox Demon was surprised. A few days ago, Zhou Yuntian came to report to her about Lu Ye dabbling in Spirit Runes, but she did not take it to heart. Because a Fourth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, even if he practiced the Spirit Rune, it was impossible for him to have high attainments.
But now, it seemed that she had underestimated him.
The Fox Demon immediately realized the value of this Spirit Rune. Currently, the Fox Immortal Valley was unable to recruit more newcomers, but with the help of this Spirit Rune, the strength of the entire Fox Immortal Valley would increase by at least ten to twenty percent. Compared to recruiting more newcomers, this kind of increase was more direct and convenient.
"How long did he spend on this Spirit Rune?" The Fox Demon sat up straight and her expression became more serious.
"Only an incense stick's worth of time. Moreover, I saw that his technique was extremely skilled. Obviously, he knows this Spirit Rune very well." Zhou Yuntian reported truthfully.
"An incense stick's worth of time …" The Fox Demon was surprised.
"Senior, perhaps you can let the fellow cultivators in the valley go to him and ask for a Spirit Rune? This way, the fellow cultivators will have a higher chance of survival! "
The Fox Demon gently nodded, "Alright, I will leave this matter to you."
"Yes, I will definitely not disappoint Your Honor." Zhou Yuntian respectfully replied.
Lu Ye was practicing his saber art with Xia Liang. While he was immersed in his saber art, Zhou Yuntian suddenly led a group of people over and shouted from afar, "Fellow Daoist Lu!"
Lu Ye stopped what he was doing and sighed inwardly. What was to come would come.
After he gave Zhou Yuntian the defensive tattoo, he had a premonition of what would happen. After all, the tattoo was a very convenient external force. Zhou Yuntian had already experienced the benefits of the tattoo, so there was no reason for him to ignore it.
Sure enough, when Zhou Yuntian came over, he conveyed the fox demon's order to Lu Ye to tattoo all the cultivators in the valley. Naturally, Lu Ye could only agree.
On the second floor of the pavilion, Lu Ye was preparing the materials and tools to inscribe runes. He said to Zhou Yuntian, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, inscribing runes requires a lot of mental energy. I can only inscribe runes for ten fellow daoists a day. Any more and I won't have enough mental energy."
Actually, he could have stabbed more, but that would not only take up the time he needed to practice his saber art, but it would also be more troublesome to recover.
Inscribing ten people a day wouldn't consume too much of his mental energy.
"No problem. Fellow Daoist Lu, do whatever is convenient for you. Although the Lord has given the order, there is no time limit."
Moreover, although the number of cultivators in the Fox Immortal Valley wasn't small, there weren't many either. If he wanted to inscribe ten people a day, it would only take eight to nine days.
"Then let them come up one by one." Lu Ye said.
Zhou Yuntian walked to the window and shouted, "Brother Zhao, come up."
Among the cultivators waiting below, the cultivator surnamed Zhao who was called by Zhou Yuntian stepped up and quickly arrived at the second floor. He first bowed politely to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye let him choose whether to tattoo Feng Xing or defend. As expected, the cultivator surnamed Zhao also chose the defensive tattoo. Moreover, just like Zhou Yuntian, he also chose to tattoo the tattoo on his chest.
Under Lu Ye's instructions, the cultivator surnamed Zhao opened his clothes and lay down on the bed.
After an incense stick's worth of time, the tattoo was completed. The cultivator surnamed Zhao tested it and confirmed that the defensive tattoo could be activated. He happily thanked Zhou Yuntian.
Then came the next …
When it was time for the third person, it was a female cultivator.
Standing in front of Lu Ye, the female cultivator's face was red. She lowered her head and said, "Junior Brother Lu, can I tattoo … on my back?"
"Of course, any position is fine." Lu Ye nodded.
"Then … on my back." If it wasn't for the Lord's personal order, she wouldn't have come to ask Lu Ye for a tattoo. After all, she was a woman. Letting a man touch her body made her feel really shy and unbearable.
However, the defensive tattoo could indeed provide a certain amount of protection. Compared to letting Lu Ye stab her chest, it was still acceptable for him to tattoo her back.
Lu Ye also didn't expect that an Inscription Master would have such benefits …
In the future, there would be a lot of such things. He calmed his mind and remained calm.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you … you go out first!" The female cultivator's face was red as she glared at Zhou Yuntian who was standing at the side.
"Oh, oh, I'll wait outside." Zhou Yuntian suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly walked out, closing the door on his way out.
The female cultivator stood on the spot, rubbing the corner of her clothes with her hands. She pursed her red lips and looked hesitant. Even if it was the fox demon who gave the order, it still required a lot of courage and determination to undress in front of an unfamiliar man.
Lu Ye turned his back to her and pretended to concoct the medicine. After a moment, a slight rustling sound came from behind.
Immediately after, the female cultivator's trembling voice sounded, "Junior Brother Lu, I'm ready."
Lu Ye turned around, and what entered his eyes was a snow-white, flawless, and soul-stirring arc.
The female cultivator was sitting on the bed with her back facing him. The clothes that she took off were in her hands, blocking in front of him.
Lu Ye stepped forward and looked straight ahead … The main thing was that he couldn't see anything. He stretched out his hand and pierced the needle.
The female cultivator's body suddenly tensed up, and she even let out a short sound.
The corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched. "Senior Sister, please don't make such a strange sound and disturb my mind … Also, relax your body and don't move. Don't worry, I won't touch you."
The female cultivator's face immediately turned as red as a blooming cuckoo. Even her fair back and slender neck were suffused with a layer of red light. She lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "I understand."
Needle by needle, he pierced down meticulously, and the imprint of the defensive spirit mark slowly appeared.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Lu Ye stopped and let out a long breath. "It's done, Senior Sister!"
"You … turn around," the female cultivator said.
Lu Ye turned around, and the sound of clothes being put on quickly came from behind him.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Lu." The female cultivator hurriedly thanked him, opened the door, and left as if she was escaping.
Zhou Yuntian stuck his head in and looked at Lu Ye. His brows twitched, and a meaningful smile hung on his face. "Fellow Daoist Lu has such skills. I'm really envious."
"Next!"
One cultivator after another walked into the second floor and left after an incense stick's worth of time.
In Fox Immortal Valley, male cultivators were the majority, and female cultivators only accounted for about thirty percent of them. This was also the current situation in the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces. Generally speaking, there were more male cultivators than female cultivators, but it was unknown why this was the case.
Male cultivators had no problem exposing their breasts in front of Lu Ye, but female cultivators were mostly shy. It was indeed a bit difficult for them to reveal their beauty in front of a man they weren't familiar with.
However, they didn't dare to disobey His Honor's orders.
With the experience of the female cultivator at the very beginning, the female cultivators chose to inscribe the spirit mark on the back. However, for Lu Ye, it was still a big test.
There was also an exception. There was a female cultivator with a hot personality who began to take off her clothes as soon as she entered the room. Then, she lay straight on the bed and chose to inscribe the spirit mark on her chest. This made Lu Ye's mouth dry, and the other party laughed wildly.
If not for Lu Ye carefully guarding his mind, he might have failed to inscribe the spirit mark.
After inscribing ten people on the first day, Lu Ye used the excuse that his mind was too exhausted and closed the door to guests. He made an agreement with Zhou Yuntian to bring another ten people over tomorrow.
Zhou Yuntian naturally didn't refuse.
After a short rest, Lu Ye went to find Xia Liang again and cultivated his saber art under his guidance.
At night, he first went to see Li Baxian and talked with his senior brother. Then, he went to Xie Yunhan's residence and fulfilled his promise to drink and chat with him during the day.
In the middle of the night, Lu Ye drunkenly walked out of Xie Yunhan's place and returned to his room to meditate and cultivate.
An hour later, in the darkness, Lu Ye opened his eyes and softly called, "Yiyi."
Yiyi immediately flashed out of Hu Po's body and directly fled downstairs, quickly disappearing.
Lu Ye also constructed the concealment and aura-concealing spirit marks on his body. His figure flashed and jumped out of the second floor.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the night was quiet.
Lu Ye quietly crept in a direction. With Yiyi scouting ahead and the concealment and aura-concealing spirit marks on his body, he didn't have to worry about being discovered by anyone.
Moreover, he was familiar with the positions of all the formations in Fox Immortal Valley, so there was no risk of triggering any of them.
Soon, Lu Ye arrived at the deepest part of Fox Immortal Valley.
When he came here with Xie Yunhan during the day, he was curious about this place. Even Xie Yunhan, an old man who had stayed in Fox Immortal Valley for twelve years, didn't know what was inside. Obviously, there were some secrets hidden in this place.
During the day, Lu Ye made up his mind to come and explore. No matter what secrets were hidden here, it must be related to the fox demon. Maybe he could find some unexpected gains here.
Although this place was covered by a formation, Lu Ye was best at sneaking into the formation.
Before arriving at the formation, Lu Ye looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then, he constructed insight spirit marks on his eyes to observe the flaws of the formation and find the nodes of the formation.
Soon, he found something. He moved and came to the nodes of the formation. He raised his hand and threw out a few formation flags, embedding them near the nodes.
As he did it again, the flow of spirit power at the nodes of the formation became slower and slower until it completely stopped. (To be continued)
