The transaction went smoothly. The steward didn't ask for Lu Ye's name at all.
This was because the steward already knew Lu Ye's identity when he saw the thousands of storage pouches.
In the battle in the mine, twenty million Devil Ridge cultivators were poisoned to death. This matter caused a huge uproar. How could the Tianji Business Alliance not know about it? They knew even more than the average cultivator.
After all, the Tianji Business Alliance did all kinds of business, including intelligence.
At present, other than Lu Ye, who could take out so many storage pouches at once? Who else in the entire Cloudy River Battlefield could do so?
Empty storage pouches weren't worth much, but there were so many of them. In addition, there were all kinds of things that Lu Ye wanted to sell. Overall, this was a rare big deal. Therefore, the steward calculated the price carefully. It took half a day to settle the transaction.
After walking out of Lu Ye's room, the steward suddenly turned around. He looked at Lu Ye with a hesitant expression and said meaningfully, "Recently, the Business Alliance has been quite lively. I hope we won't disturb your rest."
After he finished speaking, he cupped his fists and turned to leave.
Lu Ye closed the door and walked to the window. He hid his body and quietly looked outside.
Yiyi didn't understand. "What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid our location has been exposed."
"Ah?" Yiyi was shocked. "How could that be?"
"That's normal. Back then, I was carrying such a big bag. Quite a number of people must have seen me. As a cultivator, carrying such a big bag is a very suspicious thing. It is inevitable that some people would notice it."
This was within Lu Ye's expectations. However, he really had no choice at that time. Unless he was willing to give up all his spoils of war, there was no way he could hide in the wilderness with so many spoils of war.
"However, those people didn't see my face. Moreover, I put the amber in the spirit beast pouch. Therefore, although some people suspect that I'm hiding here, they don't have any concrete evidence."
Yiyi suddenly remembered what the steward said before he left. She didn't think much of it at that time. Now, she suddenly realized. "That steward was reminding you?"
Lu Ye nodded.
Yiyi was puzzled. "But isn't the Tianji Business Alliance neutral? Doesn't it never participate in the conflict between the two factions? Why would he suddenly do you a favor? "
"Not necessarily …" Lu Ye walked away from the window and sat down. She poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip. "Maybe they're afraid that I'll misunderstand and think that they were the ones who leaked the news of me being here."
That was why the steward looked so hesitant before he left.
This was because the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance had never participated in the games and confrontations between the two factions. Logically speaking, there was no need for them to provide any information to Lu Ye.
However, if he didn't warn Lu Ye, he would be surrounded and attacked the moment he walked out of the Tianji Business Alliance. There would be unnecessary misunderstandings, thinking that the Tianji Business Alliance had leaked the information. If Lu Ye held a grudge against the Tianji Business Alliance because of this, it would go against the original intention of the Business Alliance.
The steward's expression was hesitant, and his words were unclear, but the hint was obvious enough. How could Lu Ye not understand?
Besides, even if the steward didn't say anything, Lu Ye might have found out.
In the past few days, he had been busy opening the restriction lock on the storage bag and didn't pay attention to the situation outside. However, if he had the time to observe the surroundings, he would definitely be able to see some clues.
The steward's hint was just to push the boat along with the current. It was dispensable.
"Then what should we do now?" Yi Yi asked.
"Leave them hanging. What else can we do?"
No matter how much those people from Myriad Demon Ridge wanted to kill him, they couldn't rush into the Tianji Business Alliance and cause trouble. All fighting was prohibited in the Business Alliance.
Although Lu Ye knew that even if he rushed out, those cultivators from Myriad Demon Ridge might not be able to do anything to him, he had been running around since leaving Returning Heaven Valley. He was really tired from the battle of wits and courage with Myriad Demon Ridge, so he could rest here for a while.
He raised his hand and tapped on the Battlefield Mark to check his information.
Name: Lu Yi Ye.
Identity: Disciple of Jade Blood Sect.
Cultivation: Fifth Order Cloud River Realm.
Location: Cloud River Battlefield.
Merit: 176,520 points.
Battle Merit: 56 points.
When he left Returning Heaven Valley, he only had a little more than 70,000 points, but now it was more than 170,000 points. Naturally, this was the harvest in the mine.
For most cultivators, tens of thousands of merit points were not a small number, but for Lu Ye, merit points were just numbers …
In the short term, merit points didn't have much use other than allowing him to buy some strange flames from the Tianji Treasure House or to use the Tianji Pillar in a crisis.
However, as far as he knew, merit points were of great use after one reached the True Lake Realm.
It could be said that merit points ran through a cultivator's life in the Nine Continents. No matter how high one's cultivation was, merit points were always indispensable.
Especially after reaching the True Lake Realm, the demand for merit points would become huge.
Lu Ye didn't inquire about the specific situation in detail. He only chatted with Shui Yuan about it when he was at the Blue Blood Sect's main sect.
Because of the high demand for merit points, the heritage of a Sect wasn't supported by just a few masters. The quality of the disciples was also particularly important.
The reason why Shui Yuan spent so many years at the True Lake Realm and only reached the Divine Sea Realm last year was because the Blue Blood Sect was too poor. She didn't have enough merit points to improve her cultivation. Otherwise, with her aptitude, she would have reached the Divine Sea Realm long ago.
The Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of the previous generation in the Blue Blood Sect were the best in the Nine Continents in terms of aptitude.
Needless to say, the deceased Eldest Senior Brother, Feng Wu Jiang, was a character who led a huge camp and almost trampled the enemy. Even though he had been dead for more than thirty years, there were still various legends about him in the Nine Continents.
Shui Yuan, Xiao Xing He, Li Baxian, all of them were extremely talented, especially Li Baxian. If it weren't for his Spirit Aperture being destroyed and him wasting more than ten years in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, he was probably not far from the Divine Sea Realm.
For the time being, he didn't plan to leave the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance. He had plenty of resources on hand, so he could cultivate in peace.
This made the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators who were secretly paying attention to his movements feel uncomfortable.
Although the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who had gathered here after receiving the news had deduced that Lu Ye had entered the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance through various traces, none of them had seen him with their own eyes. No one knew if he was really here or not.
They could only wait outside and wait for Lu Ye to show himself … provided that Lu Ye was really inside.
But after seven or eight days, there was still no sign of Lu Ye. Some Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators couldn't sit still.
From their point of view, even if Lu Ye was in the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, he wouldn't show himself for a while. The outside world was very dangerous, so hiding in the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance was very safe. Moreover, Lu Yi Ye was a dog with countless merit points. In addition, he had seized the storage bags of more than two thousand cultivators, so he definitely didn't lack cultivation materials.
No one would be surprised if he stayed inside for a year or two.
Lu Ye could stay inside for a year or two, but could they wait outside for a year or two? It was obviously impossible.
Without knowing if Lu Ye was hiding here or when he would come out, many of the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators gradually lost their patience and left. However, there were also some people who continued to wait. For example, Chu Yun and Zhou Pei of the Sacred Flame Sect. Patience was not something they lacked. As long as they could kill Lu Ye, not to mention one or two years, they could even wait eight or ten years!
Several days passed in a flash. Lu Ye's days were very leisurely.
Every day, he swallowed spirit pills, cultivated, and read books. Although the efficiency wasn't as good as in Return to Heaven Valley, the difference wasn't too big.
After all, he didn't have high requirements for a cultivation environment.
Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in this room was equivalent to that of a B-grade Spirit Land. However, the cost of the accommodation per night was a little high. Ordinary people really couldn't afford to live here. Only rich people like Lu Ye didn't care at all.
His thinking was very simple. No matter how many resources there were, they were still external objects. Only when these external objects were converted into one's own strength in time could they be used to their full potential.
Most of the time, Yiyi was silently cultivating on the side. She and Hu Po were companions. No matter who cultivated, it would increase their strength.
This was an advantage that no cultivator or monster beast in the Nine Provinces could compare to. This was also the reason why Yiyi and Hu Po's strength could catch up to Lu Ye's.
In the past, Lu Ye's cultivation had always been higher than Yiyi and Hu Po's, but now they were equal. The biggest credit was that overlord-level monster general's monster core.
However, there were also times when Yiyi would go out and buy some delicious food for Lu Ye, or go out to scout for information.
The world only knew that Lu Ye had Hu Po by his side, but they never knew that he had Yiyi by his side.
This greatly facilitated Yiyi's movements.
The door was pushed open and Yiyi walked in excitedly. "Lu Ye, Lu Ye, there's a spirit stick auction in the Merchant Union tonight."
"Oh?" Lu Ye revealed an interested expression. He had been in the Cloudriver Battlefield for half a year. Through various channels, he had obtained many spirit sticks. However, he had only encountered a spirit stick auction once.
This was also the only way to use merits to obtain a spirit stick.
As for merits … Lu Ye had never lacked them. The last time he participated in the spirit stick auction, he had practically bought all the spirit sticks.
"What kind of spirit sticks are there?"
"I heard there's a purple spirit stick." Yiyi put down the food box in her hand. Hu Po's head came over and sniffed. It was cooked … He immediately lost interest.
"Do you want to participate?"
"Let's go take a look." He could also see if the Tianji Treasury had any Earthen Core Fire for sale.
In the battle in the mine, although he had killed two thousand enemies, he should have used up a lot of fuel for his Innate Skill Tree.
Although he had some spare Earthen Core Fire, he needed to use it in an emergency, so Lu Ye didn't plan to use it.
Now that he had enough merits, he could go to the Tianji Treasury to get some goods.
