It was a familiar environment, a familiar situation. However, compared to last time, Lu Ye only needed to lie in bed for three days before he could get out and walk around.
Injuries caused by sharp weapons were undoubtedly easier to recover from. In addition to Hua Ci's daily treatment, he felt that he would be able to fully recover in no time.
These days, he didn't idle around. In accordance with Hua Ci's treatment, he took a few healing pills to speed up the recovery of his injuries. At the same time, he refined some Small Reversion Pills to replenish his spiritual energy.
After a few more days, his injuries improved.
Under the moonlight, Lu Ye was practicing his saber. Not far away, under a large tree, Hu Po was resting, opening his bloody mouth to yawn from time to time. Yiyi sat there with her back against Hu Po's soft abdomen, hugging her knees. It was unknown what she was thinking.
After a long time, she sighed and said to Hu Po in a low voice, "Hu Po, we're so useless."
The reason why she felt this way was because she realized that ever since she followed Lu Ye out of Azure Cloud Mountain, the role they could play was very limited. It was very difficult for the two of them to participate in the battles that Lu Ye participated in.
Whether it was facing Dong Shuye's pursuit or the life and death battle with Senior Brother Zhou, it was all the same.
In the end, it was still because they were too weak.
Hu Po's greatest use was to carry Lu Ye on his journey, while her greatest use was to guard the surroundings when Lu Ye was resting.
This made Yiyi feel a little powerless. If she and Hu Po had helped Lu Ye before, he wouldn't have suffered such heavy injuries.
"We have to become stronger," Yiyi said to Hu Po. "Do you understand?"
Hu Po opened his mouth and let out a whimper.
"Then it's decided!" Yiyi nodded heavily.
When the moon was high in the sky and Lu Ye put away his saber, Yiyi ran over and looked up at him, "Lu Ye, Lu Ye."
"Hm?"
"Can you give us more spirit pills?" Yiyi asked a little bashfully.
"What do you want spirit pills for?" Lu Ye didn't understand.
"Feed them to Hu Po. This way, you don't have to worry when you're busy. I'll feed him."
"That's fine." Lu Ye naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request, so he immediately took out a storage pouch and placed a few bottles of Spirit Pills inside.
Yiyi happily ran back with the storage bag. She even found a sturdy rope and tied it around Hu Po's neck. This way, he could use it at any time.
She took out a Yun Spirit Pill from her storage bag and stuffed it into her hand. "Eat it, eat more. You have to become stronger!"
…
Under the unceasing impact of the spiritual energy, the barrier of the spiritual aperture slowly loosened, gradually breaking open, and spiritual energy flowed into the new spiritual aperture.
The 46th aperture was opened!
When he set off from Ying Mountain to look for Hu Po, he had already opened 37 apertures. While he was looking for Hu Po, he had also been cultivating at night. With the double support of the Gluttony Meal and the Spirit Gathering Rune, his speed of opening apertures had become very fast. When he found Hu Po, he had already opened 41 apertures.
It had been twelve days since Lu Ye returned to Ying Mountain. Except for the first few days when Lu Ye did not cultivate, he did not waste the rest of the time. Recuperating did not affect his enlightenment of the Acupores. It could even be said that he had more time to cultivate.
As of today, he had opened 46 apertures.
Under normal circumstances, the minimum requirement for the Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm was to open 45 apertures. Of course, this was under the premise that one only cultivated one Secret Art.
However, because Lu Ye first cultivated the Yellow Grade Golden Cicada's Unfettered Secret Art and an auxiliary Secret Art like the Gluttony Meal, these two Secret Arts did not coincide with the Red Lotus Soaring the Heavens Secret Art he was currently cultivating. Therefore, if he wanted to break through to the Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm, he would need to open two more Spirit Apertures.
In other words, as long as he opened one more aperture, Lu Ye would be able to break through to the Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm. At the same time, he would be able to change the path of his spiritual energy to that of the Red Lotus Soaring the Heavens Secret Art.
The two Spirit Apertures that did not coincide were not useless. Lu Ye had studied the later stages of the Red Lotus Soaring the Heavens Secret Art and knew that the two Spirit Apertures were included in the Fifth Order Spirit Stream Realm. Therefore, when he broke through to the Fifth Order Spirit Stream Realm, he would open two fewer Spirit Apertures.
In the Ninth Order Spirit Stream Realm, the Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm and the Seventh Order Spirit Stream Realm were watersheds. This was because the first three stages only required one to open nine apertures to break through, but the Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm required at least eighteen apertures.
Once the Spirit Qi passed through these Spirit Apertures and formed a Minor Heavenly Cycle, it would bring about a great improvement to a cultivator.
Under normal circumstances, a Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator would not need to spend much effort to kill a Third Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. Only someone like Lu Ye, who could use his Spirit Inscriptions to fight, could make up for the difference in strength brought about by the difference in realms.
With Lu Ye's current cultivation speed, he only needed one more Spirit Aperture to break through.
However, today's cultivation time was a bit too long. Although there were not many hidden dangers after he swallowed a Spirit Pill, cultivation was still a boring thing. If he meditated for too long, his blood and Qi would stagnate.
He opened his eyes and checked his Spirit Pills, letting out a slight sigh.
The price to pay for the rapid growth of his strength was a huge consumption of spirit pills. Now, every time he opened an orifice, he would need about fourteen or fifteen spirit pills. In addition to the consultation fees for Hua Ci, Hu Po, and Yiyi, he did not have many spirit pills left.
After he broke through to the Fourth Order Spirit Stream Realm, he would have to go to the Heavenly Secret Commerce Union again. Right now, he only had six Magnetic Ores left to sell …
"Lu Ye, Lu Ye." Yi Yi, who was guarding the side, came over.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye raised his head and looked at her.
Yi Yi asked, "Will we stay here?" These days, she and Ruan Lingyu had slowly become familiar with each other, and the relationship between the two girls was getting better and better.
From Ruan Lingyu, she learned about the situation when Lu Ye came here last time. She also knew that Lu Ye went back to look for her and Hu Po, which made her very touched. They had gone through trials and tribulations together, and had gone through life and death together. Their relationship had undoubtedly become closer.
"Do you want to stay here?"
Yi Yi tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Ling Yu is a good person, Senior Sister Hua Ci is also very good, and the others are also very good. It would be good if we could stay here, but it's still up to you."
"No need to look at me. If you want to stay, you can stay. This group of people is really good."
"Oh, then I won't stay." Yi Yi raised her head and looked at him, then said with a smile, "Since we set off together, then let's go down together. We'll stay with you."
Lu Ye raised his hand and patted her head.
Yi Yi immediately became a little annoyed, "Why are you patting my head? You're making me look like a child!"
Lu Ye grabbed her head and rubbed it hard.
"I'm so angry!" Yi Yi finally got rid of his evil clutches, stomped her feet, and ran out.
Soon, the sound of her and Ruan Lingyu's laughter came from next door.
