Hu Po, who was eating at the side, shrunk his head back, and the sound of him swallowing his food became much quieter.
When Yiyi saw him like this, she knew that he must've done something wrong …
She pursed her lips and asked Lu Ye, "What did Hu Po do wrong?"
Lu Ye turned his head and glared at Hu Po. He briefly explained how Hu Po had rushed out when he went to rescue her, then said, "Do you still remember the first of our three rules?"
Yiyi obediently sat in front of him, her back ramrod straight. She immediately replied, "You're in charge of everything. If there's a difference of opinion, I have to listen to you!"
"Your memory's not bad!"
Yiyi turned her head and shouted, "Hu Po!"
Hu Po whimpered, and his sturdy body slowly moved in front of Yiyi. He raised his eyes and looked at her pitifully. Yiyi raised her hand and slapped Hu Po's head. "Lu Ye already told you not to be impulsive, why didn't you listen? You couldn't have rushed out at that time, you had to listen to the arrangements. "
She slapped him every time he said a word.
Yiyi also knew that Hu Po's previous impulsiveness had caused some trouble. From the results, Lu Ye had killed those four cultivators and saved her, but if Hu Po had been more patient, the situation would've been better. Perhaps Lu Ye wouldn't have fainted because of this.
She was able to escape this time all because of Lu Ye's prompt decision. Hu Po had rushed out at that time, and if he had hesitated in the slightest, he would've missed the opportunity.
Yiyi remembered this kindness in her heart, and in order to teach Hu Po a lesson, she didn't hold back at all, slapping Hu Po's head until it rang loudly.
"That's enough." Lu Ye interrupted her and looked at her seriously. "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."
They had just started working together, so everyone needed to get used to each other and have a period of adjustment. However, this kind of thing happened once was enough. If it happened again, Lu Ye couldn't guarantee that he could escape unscathed. He didn't want to be killed by his own people one day.
"Got it!" Yiyi nodded, then looked at Hu Po. "Do you remember?"
Hu Po whimpered softly as a response.
Yiyi then looked at Lu Ye and sincerely said, "Thank you!"
This word of thanks was not only for Hu Po, but also for herself. The reason she was able to escape was because Lu Ye had risked his life. Moreover, this matter was not over yet. They were currently trapped in the Heaven Splitting Gorge, and it was unknown whether they could escape or not.
Lu Ye waved his hand and checked his condition. He didn't need to worry too much about his injuries, and would be fine after a few days of rest. His spiritual energy had been consumed in the previous battle and needed to be replenished. However, what surprised him was that the barrier of his twenty-sixth aperture showed signs of loosening.
Previously, he had cultivated to the level of twenty-five acupoints and had not tried to open twenty-six acupoints. Now that he thought about it, it should be because of the fierce battle between him and Zhang Wu. The surging spiritual energy had impacted the spirit acupoint barrier.
This was a good thing. It would save him some time to cultivate.
But before that, he had to replenish his spiritual energy. In such a dangerous environment, it was important to be in a good state. Who knew when a fierce battle would break out, and Lu Ye would not have time to recover.
However, he was not in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, he gave Yiyi a look.
Yiyi understood and patted Hu Po's head. One spirit and one tiger immediately split up and went to the two sides of the corridor.
This way, with the two of them monitoring the front and back of the corridor, Lu Ye would not be blocked in the corridor and would have room to retreat if he encountered danger.
After Yiyi and Hu Po left, Lu Ye lowered his head and looked at the back of his hand. After urging his spiritual energy, the back of his hand was covered in a layer of blue light and turned into a few lines of words.
Name: Lu Ye.
Identity: Blue Blood Sect Disciple.
Cultivation: 25 acupoints.
Merit Points: 34.
Lu Ye looked at the row of merit points in amazement, unable to figure out where the number 34 came from.
Last time, he had killed the fair-skinned man and Liu Ruyin in Blue Cloud Mountain and obtained eight merit points. This time, after killing four people, his merit points had increased to 34. In other words, those four people had given him a total of 26 merit points.
For the time being, Lu Ye did not know what merit points were used for. He had asked Yiyi, but Yiyi did not seem to know much about it. Her memory was very damaged. There were some things she knew, but there were others she did not understand.
Merit points were definitely useful, but as for how to use them and where to use them, he would have to slowly explore them.
If he couldn't figure it out, then he was too lazy to think about it.
Lu Ye threw a Spirit Accumulation Pill into his mouth and refined it to replenish his spiritual energy. His spiritual energy slowly recovered.
Lu Ye had previously discovered that the efficiency of recovery and cultivation, as well as the consumption of spirit pills, were very different. Pure recovery was much faster than cultivation, and the consumption was also much lower.
The most direct comparison was that Lu Ye had now opened 25 acupoints. During this time, he had consumed nearly two hundred spirit pills and had spent nearly three months. But if he exhausted his spiritual energy in battle and wanted to replenish it, it would be impossible for him to consume two hundred spirit pills, nor would it take him three months.
If that was really the case, then the price a cultivator would have to pay in battle would be too great.
During cultivation, the consumption of spirit pills would be great. Furthermore, tempering one's spirit acupoints required a great deal of effort. From opening a spirit acupoint to filling it was a gradual process. But once a spirit pill was filled, it would be much easier to recover.
Time passed, and spirit pills were consumed one after another. Two days later, Lu Ye had completely recovered, but there were only twenty or so spirit pills left in his possession.
There was no movement from Yi Yi and Hu Po's side. It seemed that their location was still safe for the time being.
Lu Ye was not in a hurry to leave. He was not clear about the situation outside. Rashly leaving would only make the situation more troublesome.
He was now only two acupoints away from the Third-Order Spirit Stream Realm. Among them, the barrier of the twenty-six acupoints was still loosening. He had enough spirit pills, so Lu Ye decided to raise his cultivation first.
At the Second-Order, he could cooperate with Hu Po and Yi Yi to kill Zhang Wu. If he reached the Third-Order, his strength would increase, which would be of great help to his current situation!
Moreover, his injuries had not healed yet, so he could take advantage of these few days to recuperate.
After making up his mind, Lu Ye continued to swallow spirit pills and urged his spiritual energy to attack the barrier of the twenty-six acupoints.
Five days later, Lu Ye sat cross-legged with a solemn expression on his face in the tunnel of the mountain. The day before yesterday, he had already opened his twenty-seven acupoints. After spending some spirit pills to fill them, it was time for him to break through to the Third-Order Spirit Stream Realm!
With the previous two experiences, Lu Ye was familiar with the process this time. Starting from the nineteenth acupoint, his spiritual energy followed the path of the twentieth acupoint, twenty-one acupoints, and finally twenty-seven acupoints.
His spiritual energy circulated endlessly in the nine Spirit Acupoints, constantly repeating itself, faster and faster. Until a certain moment, he broke through a bottleneck. Sitting cross-legged, Lu Ye's body shook as his spiritual energy surged.
