The spiritual energy in the middle grade spirit stone was quickly devoured and turned into powder that fell from Lu Ye's fingertips. Lu Ye quickly took out another one.
It was still the same!
After the transformation, the Talent Tree had the ability to devour spiritual energy from spirit stones!
In the past, the Talent Tree could only absorb fire elemental energy, such as the Earth Core Fire and the Fire Spirit Stone. It would not react to non-fire elemental energy.
But now, with the transformation of the Talent Tree, the ability of the Talent Tree had also changed. It was no longer limited to fire elemental energy.
If a True Lake Stage cultivator used a middle grade spirit stone like this, it would last at least half a day.
But in Lu Ye's hands, it only took a moment for the spiritual energy to be used up.
This meant that Lu Ye could absorb the energy from the spirit stone at an incredible speed for his own use. Whether it was for cultivation or recovery, the time spent would be greatly reduced.
In other words, with this method, Lu Ye's efficiency in cultivation and recovery was not something that cultivators of the same stage could compare to. It was more than ten times faster!
Because of the existence of the Spirit Gathering Funnel, his cultivation speed was much faster than cultivators of the same stage. Now that he had this ability, his cultivation efficiency would increase by a lot.
Fast cultivation speed and high efficiency meant that he could use a shorter time to reach a higher stage!
For cultivators, this was simply a dream come true. But while absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stone, Lu Ye also noticed that the fuel stored in the Talent Tree was also rapidly depleting.
It seemed that the fire spiritual energy stored in the Talent Tree was not only used to burn the impurities, but also to maintain the power of the Talent Tree!
After all, the spiritual energy absorbed from the spirit stone was extremely pure with almost no impurities. It did not need the Talent Tree to burn and refine it. But the fuel stored in the Talent Tree was still rapidly depleting. This was undoubtedly a problem.
Lu Ye did not notice this before. First, he could not detect the amount of fuel stored in the Talent Tree. Second, he did not have such a cultivation method.
This meant that if he wanted to use the spirit stone to increase his cultivation speed in the future, he would have to consume the Fire Spirit Stone at the same time …
Lu Ye could not help but feel lucky that he made the deal with Gan Wudang in Grand Sky City. Otherwise, with the Fire Spirit Stone in his hand, he would not be able to maintain it for long.
Initially, he only needed the Fire Spirit Rock to activate the spirit runes on the Talent Tree. Although he needed a lot, it was fine as long as he had enough.
But now, if he needed to use it to cultivate, there would be no end to it. Under such circumstances, it was naturally important to have a stable channel to obtain Fire Spirit Stones.
Yi Yi and Hu Po were dumbfounded as they watched one mid-grade spirit stone after another being consumed. They didn't know what method Lu Ye was using to be able to consume spirit stones so quickly.
Lu Ye didn't bother to explain, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Hu Po chewing on his Yao Core, crunching it loudly …
A bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Under Hu Po's confused gaze, he reached into the storage bag around Hu Po's neck and took out a Yao Core. Holding it in his hand, he activated the power of his Talent Tree. Roots spread out and wrapped around the Yao Core.
In the next moment, a rich power was extracted from the Yao Core and poured into Lu Ye's body. As the spiritual power circulated, it was refined by the Talent Tree and turned into pure energy.
'It really works!'
Lu Ye was shocked. It was just a sudden thought. The Talent Tree was no longer limited to absorbing fire-type energy. Since spirit stones could do it, then wouldn't it work with Yao Cores?
He didn't expect it to work!
Sensing the change in the Yao Core in Lu Ye's hand, Yi Yi covered her red lips. Hu Po's tiger eyes widened even more.
The energy stored in a Yao Core was undoubtedly much greater than that of a mid-grade spirit stone. After all, it was the essence of a demon's lifetime of cultivation. It wasn't something a mid-grade spirit stone could compare to.
But even so, it only lasted for a cup of tea's time before it completely dried up. What was left in Lu Ye's hand was only a dry mass of impurities the size of a jujube pit.
Lu Ye was excited.
After the transformation, the Talent Tree was no longer limited to absorbing fire-type energy. Spirit stones could do it, Yao Cores could do it, too.
'Could the spiritual power in a cultivator's body … work as well?'
Lu Ye immediately extinguished this horrifying thought as soon as it appeared in his mind. Although he was very sure that the Talent Tree could absorb the spiritual power in a cultivator's body for its own use, doing so would be no different from "eating people". There was still a huge psychological barrier.
Lu Ye secretly warned himself that he couldn't open this trap. Once he did, it was very likely to lead to some extremely bad consequences.
Under Hu Po's vigilant gaze, Lu Ye took out another Yao Core from his storage bag. He examined it for a moment, then threw it directly into his mouth.
Every time he saw Hu Po eating so enthusiastically, he had long wanted to taste a Yao Core.
"Lu Ye!" Yi Yi couldn't hold back anymore and exclaimed. Hu Po's eyes were about to pop out.
'Master, how can you eat a Yao Core? That's my snack!' Lu Ye was surprised to find that the Yao Core tasted pretty good. There wasn't any special smell.
He swallowed it whole and quietly activated the Talent Tree's power. The roots in his abdomen twisted and quickly absorbed the energy in the Yao Core. Gluttony's Feast was also activated, and a buzzing sound was heard.
In just a moment, the energy in the Yao Core was completely digested. This was much more efficient than letting the Talent Tree absorb it. "Lu Ye, are you alright?" Yi Yi asked with concern. She couldn't understand why Lu Ye would suddenly make such a rash move.
Yao Cores were generally used to refine pills and set up formations. Yao Beasts would also eat Yao Cores of the same category, but she had never heard of this thing being eaten by humans.
"I'm fine," Lu Ye comforted. "I have an extra ability. I can digest it, don't worry."
Yi Yi was relieved when she heard him say that. However, she still paid close attention to Lu Ye's changes, fearing that something was wrong with him.
Lu Ye reached out towards Hu Po's storage bag. Hu Po covered it with its two paws and looked at Lu Ye with a pleading expression.
Its meaning was obvious: I don't have much left!
Lu Ye glared at it. Only then did Hu Po let go of its paws. Although the transformation of the Talent Tree did not improve Lu Ye's cultivation, the ability of the Talent Tree now gave him many more cultivation methods and greatly improved his cultivation efficiency.
As a result, his growth rate would far surpass his peers. Such benefits were simply unimaginable. Compared to a simple increase in strength, this kind of transformation could really affect Lu Ye's life and was something he desperately desired.
However, along with it, the expenses he would have to pay in the future would be huge. For the time being, Yang Kai decided not to think about it.
The transformation of the Talent Tree had been completed, so Lu Ye was in a good mood and decided to cultivate properly to reward himself. In any case, he had broken through to the First-Order True Lake Realm for some time now. It was rare for him to have such a stable cultivation environment and more cultivation methods, so it was time for him to raise his cultivation to the Second-Order True Lake Realm.
Connecting his consciousness to the Heavens, a vortex of World Energy appeared in front of Yang Kai. From this vortex, pure World Energy poured out and spread out in all directions, wrapping around the figures of one man, one spirit, and one tiger.
Adjusting to the level most suitable for himself, Lu Ye continued to absorb the power of the Fire Spirit Stone to replenish the energy reserves of the Talent Tree while constructing a small Spirit Gathering Funnel.
Yi Yi looked at the vortex of World Energy filled with World Energy, her eyes slightly blurred, "Lu Ye, where do you think this vortex leads to?"
"Who knows?" Lu Ye casually replied, "But I've heard people say that this vortex is connected to Earth Veins or Spirit Veins of different quality. That's why there's an endless stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi flowing out for cultivators to refine."
This was common knowledge, but so far, no one had been able to prove it because even the Divine Sense of a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator could not penetrate the vortex to investigate the situation on the other side.
However, there was no water without a source in this world. Such rich World Energy could not be born out of thin air. There had to be a source.
Therefore, the theory that the vortex was connected to Earth Veins or Spirit Veins of different quality was accepted by most cultivators in the Nine Continents.
"Then if we can pass through this vortex, wouldn't we be able to cultivate in an Earth Vein or Spirit Vein?" Yi Yi suddenly had an idea.
Lu Ye laughed, "That's a good idea, but unfortunately, we need to have this method."
Even the Divine Sense of a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator could not detect the situation on the other side of the vortex, so how could they pass through?
While laughing, Lu Ye's expression suddenly changed. Another bold idea surged in his mind.
The Divine Sense of a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator could not pass through this vortex of World Energy. He wondered if the roots of the Talent Tree … could do it?
If it could, then wouldn't it …
Thinking of this, Lu Ye could no longer hold back. He quickly raised his hand and pressed it on the vortex of World Energy.
Yi Yi did not know what he was going to do, so she just watched curiously. Hu Po was pouring out the Yao Cores from his storage pouch, fiddling with them one by one, dejected.
His claws were not enough, and he could not count them all …
On the other side, Lu Ye's mind moved slightly, and a root that only he could see extended from his palm, probing into the vortex of World Energy in front of him.
The transformation of the Talent Tree this time allowed Lu Ye to sense the existence of the divine object, the Talent Tree. Therefore, he could clearly sense the extension of the root. To him, the extended root was equivalent to his antennae.
The root did not pass through from the other side of the vortex of World Energy, which meant that the root had successfully probed into the vortex of World Energy!
Lu Ye's expression suddenly changed.
Because in his perception, there was an extremely rich World Energy on the other side of the vortex of World Energy.
The root's sense of touch was extremely sharp, and Lu Ye could feel it from all directions.
Compared to the cultivation environment created by this method, there was simply no comparison!
