After checking the Talent Tree, Lu Ye woke Yiyi up and took out the many spirit sticks that he had just bought. As time passed, the spirit sticks were crushed one after another. Rich and pure spirit Qi gushed out, and the man and the spirit eagerly devoured and cultivated.
A day later, all the spirit sticks were used up. Lu Ye silently sensed his own body. His cultivation level had not improved by much. After all, the total duration of those spirit sticks could not compare to a single golden spirit stick.
At his level of cultivation, one or two golden spirit sticks could no longer break through.
However, cultivation was like this. Bit by bit accumulation, quantitative change would lead to qualitative change.
Without the spirit sticks, Lu Ye swallowed spirit pills and continued to cultivate.
He showed his face in the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance and caused a storm. Although he wore a mask the entire time and didn't reveal his true appearance, the cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge who were certain that he was hiding in the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance were able to make some deductions from some clues.
Now, there were definitely many Myriad Demon Ridge experts waiting outside the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance.
Lu Ye had no intention of leaving this place in a short time.
In a flash, another few days passed.
Cultivating for a long time was a little boring, especially since Lu Ye's cultivation method was different from others.
When other cultivators inhaled and exhaled the spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, they had to immerse themselves and concentrate. During the process of cultivation, it was difficult to notice the passage of time. Perhaps a few days had passed during a cultivation session.
This was also the reason why cultivators with higher cultivation levels often went into seclusion for a year and a half or even longer. They could not detect the passage of time.
Lu Ye was different. His cultivation mainly relied on swallowing spirit pills and did not delay him from doing other things. Therefore, it was easy for him to feel bored after a long time.
Usually, when encountering such a situation, Lu Ye would stop cultivating and walk around.
However, it was not good to walk around in the current situation. After thinking about it, Lu Ye decided to enter the mirage to hone his saber skills.
The cultivation of saber skills was undoubtedly much more difficult than the improvement of cultivation level. The improvement of cultivation level could be felt, but not saber skills. Before breaking through a bottleneck, the improvement of saber skills was extremely slow. There might not be much change for a long time, but once a bottleneck was broken, it would enter a different realm.
His mind was immersed in the storage space on his back. Lu Ye was ready to take out the Breath Fruit Core.
However, a moment later, when the Breath Fruit Core appeared in his palm, he was stunned for a moment.
The Breath Fruit Core seemed to be a little different from before.
Although the Rest Fruit Core was the core of the Rest Fruit, this thing actually looked like a piece of sapphire at first glance. When Lu Ye first came into contact with this thing, he was very curious. How could a fruit core look like this? At that time, he only felt that there was nothing too strange in this boundless universe.
But later on, he gradually understood that this was not strictly a fruit core. This thing was a carrier that had been bestowed with a special ability by the heavens. It was a key to unlocking the mirage, so its external appearance was not the main point.
............
There were many complicated patterns on the surface of the sapphire-like fruit core, making it look extremely complicated.
Even though Lu Ye had great attainments in the Way of Spiritual Tattoos, he couldn't see what these lines meant. Moreover, during his observation, he even had an illusion that his whole mind was being sucked into the core of the Breath Fruit.
................
What made Lu Ye even more puzzled was where was the other Breath Fruit Core?
He had one, and he got another from the spoils of war a few days ago. There were two in total. Furthermore, they looked almost identical. He put them both into the storage space on the back of his hand.
But now, there was only one left...
. There was no situation of overlooking. The storage space on the back of his hand was formed by void tattoos. Although the space was not small and stored a lot of things, Lu Ye's mind was immersed in it. He could easily find what he wanted from inside.
Now, there was only one Breath Fruit Core left. The other one had disappeared. Furthermore, the surface of the Breath Fruit Core in his hand had many more complicated patterns.
This made Lu Ye involuntarily have some conjectures.
This thing... can fuse with each other?
The two Breath Fruit Cores were put together by him. Without him noticing, the two Breath Fruit Cores fused into one. Although it sounded a little outrageous, this was the only explanation.
Not giving up, he searched again and still did not find the second Breath Fruit Core.
It seemed that the two Breath Fruit Cores had really fused into one.
The original Breath Fruit Core allowed him to enter the mirage to hone his blade skills. Now, what was the use of the new Breath Fruit Core?
No matter what the use was, he would know after trying it.
Lu Ye held the Breath Fruit Core in the palm of his hand, channeled his spirit power into it, and immersed his mind.
His vision blurred, and he had appeared in a small enclosed space. In front of him was a quaint door. A line of big words was printed into his vision. "To enter the mirage, 100 merit points are required."
It was exactly the same as what he saw before. There seemed to be no change.
Just as Lu Ye thought so, the corner of his vision suddenly glanced to the other side. He turned his head and looked surprised.
Because in this direction, there was also a door. There was also a line of big words on it. "To enter the mirage, 10,000 merit points are required."
100 and 10,000, the difference was a hundred times!
What was certain was that in the past, there was only one door in this small enclosed space, and it was the door that required 100 merit points to open. After opening the door, one would enter an environment shrouded in thick fog. From the fog, cultivators and all kinds of insect figures would constantly rush out, allowing one to hone their skills and killing techniques.
Where did this door that cost 10,000 merit points lead to?
Why did the fusion of the two Breath Fruit Cores with the same effect produce such a change?
Lu Ye suddenly felt that the Breath Fruit Cores did not seem to be as simple as he thought. The Heavens gave the two Breath Fruit Cores the effect of leading to the mirage. When the two Breath Fruit Cores that could lead to the mirage merged, they not only retained the original effect, but also had another effect that Lu Ye had never seen before.
Judging from the cost of the merit points, the place this second door led to must be dangerous.
Of course, it might not be so. Everything needed to be explored.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Ye might not enter the second door. After all, he was now just a Fifth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator. He was not qualified to intervene in dangerous places.
But this was the mirage. Even if he died, he would not really die. He would only feel some pain.
As for 10,000 merit points … other cultivators might not be able to take it out, but it was really nothing for Lu Ye.
So after looking at the second door for a moment, Lu Ye made a decision.
No matter where the second door led to or what dangers were inside, he had to see it with his own eyes.
At most, he would lose 10,000 merit points and be killed.
After making up his mind, Lu Ye immediately walked to the newly appeared second door and raised his hand to push it open.
The back of his hand slightly warmed, and 10,000 merit points were deducted. The heavy door was slowly pushed open, and Lu Ye stepped in.
The moment he stepped through the door, Lu Ye suddenly had a surreal feeling, as if he had suddenly broken free from some shackles and become much stronger.
But he did not have time to think about it, because every time he entered an unfamiliar environment, the first thing he had to do was hide his body and be vigilant to avoid being sneak attacked!
So when he passed through the door, Lu Ye constructed Concealment and Aura Concealment Spirit Tattoos to enhance his body. At the same time, he raised his hand and pressed the hilt of the Mountain Coiling Saber at his waist, ready to attack!
Almost at the same time as Lu Ye passed through the newly appeared door and entered this unknown space, in the guest room, the sleeping Hu Po and the cultivating Yi Yi both noticed the abnormality and opened their eyes to look at Lu Ye.
At this moment, the spirit and the tiger both had a very strange feeling, as if Lu Ye had suddenly disappeared.
But he was clearly in front of them.
Yi Yi was a little flustered. Even though she knew it was not a good time to disturb Lu Ye, she could not help but call out softly, "Lu Ye?"
There was no response.
Yi Yi got up and came to Lu Ye's side. After carefully observing for a moment, she put her trembling hand under Lu Ye's nose and tested it. Suddenly, she burst into tears, "Lu Ye!"
She could not feel Lu Ye's breathing!
And she could feel that Lu Ye seemed to have lost something very important.
As a spirit, although her cultivation was not high and was only equal to Lu Ye's, her perception of the soul was still very sharp.
At this moment, there was no trace of the soul in Lu Ye's body. In other words, Lu Ye was only left with a physical body, and it was not breathing.
Hu Po was also frightened and hurriedly ran in front of Lu Ye, patting him with his paw.
"Lu Ye is dead!" Yi Yi sat on the ground, sobbing non-stop. She was drowned in deep sorrow.
Hu Po was scared out of his wits and growled at Lu Ye, but he did not get any response. How could he suddenly die without any reason? He was clearly still cultivating just now.
But on second thought, that was not right. If Lu Ye was dead, then what about his tiger life? He turned his head and growled at Yi Yi.
Yi Yi could see through Hu Po's thoughts. After being reminded by Hu Po, she immediately reacted.
Not only did Lu Ye and Hu Po have a pet contract, but they also formed a Life Origin Technique. As Lu Ye's destined demonic beast, if Hu Po died, Lu Ye would be injured. But if Lu Ye died, Hu Po would not be able to live alone.
And Yi Yi was Hu Po's companion spirit. If Hu Po died, she would not be able to live either.
So Lu Ye's life and death were not only related to himself, but also the survival of a spirit and a tiger.
Now that Hu Po and Yi Yi were both safe and sound, it could only mean one thing.
Lu Ye was still alive!
Realizing this, Yi Yi hurriedly suppressed the sorrow in her heart. Sobbing, she reached out her hand and tested Lu Ye's breathing again.
It was very, very weak, but there was indeed breathing.
The great ups and downs of her emotions caused Yi Yi to almost collapse to the ground.
But she really could not understand what Lu Ye had done to suddenly become like this. In her perception, Lu Ye was clearly only an empty shell left here. She did not know where his soul had gone.
