Half a month later, a travel-worn Lu Ye appeared in front of a canyon. Compared to the previous time when he was riding Big Tiger, he was undoubtedly much more relaxed now.
When he rode Big Tiger on the first day, he was jolted to the point of almost falling apart, and his inner thighs were badly bruised. It was impossible for him to cultivate in that state.
Today, he had completed his initial plan, which was to consume pills and cultivate while riding Big Tiger. Although the efficiency was not as good as normal, it was better than wasting time.
After half a month, he had opened three more Spirit Apertures. Now, he was a cultivator with twenty-five apertures opened, only two more away from the Third-Order Spirit Stream Realm!
At this rate, he would be able to cultivate the Golden Cicada's Unfettered Chant to perfection in another six or seven days.
Not only had his strength grown, but Big Tiger had also become stronger.
The snake meat in the storage bag had been divided between him and Big Tiger, and eighty percent of it had gone into Big Tiger's stomach. The snake meat was of great benefit to a Monster Beast like Big Tiger, not to mention that Lu Ye also gave it two Spirit Accumulation Pills every day.
In just half a month, Big Tiger's body seemed to have increased in size, becoming more majestic.
Lu Ye had no way to judge Big Tiger's current strength, but he estimated that even if he fought with Big Tiger without the help of Spirit Runes and Spirit Talismans, he would not have any advantage.
Yi Yi was Big Tiger's puppet spirit, so when Big Tiger became stronger, she would also become stronger.
Therefore, although the average strength of the group of one person, one tiger, and one spirit was not very high, if they worked together, the power they could exert could not be underestimated.
This increased Lu Ye's capital to travel in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, and he increasingly felt that it was a wise decision to bring Big Tiger and Yi Yi.
Along the way, Lu Ye passed by a neutral market. In that market, Lu Ye cultivated for a night and sold two pieces of Yuan Magnetic Ore for some Spirit Stones.
Now, he had more than two hundred Spirit Stones in his hand.
Just a little bit more, and he should have enough by the time he reached the next Subunion of the Heavenly Secret Commerce Union.
Jumping off Big Tiger's back, Lu Ye looked at the canyon in front of him and took out a map to compare.
This was a place called the Sky Splitting Gorge. The terrain was steep, and the cliffs on both sides were thousands of feet tall. From the map, the left side of the Sky Splitting Gorge was the encampment of a sect called the Jiuxing Sect, which belonged to the Wanmo Ridge. On the right side was the encampment of the Xuan Sect, which belonged to the Haotian Alliance.
The Heaven Splitting Gorge was located in the middle of the encampment of the two sects, and it was slightly closer to the Nine Stars Sect.
The ranks of the two sects were not high, Xuan Men ninth rank and Nine-stars eighth rank. This kind of rank was normal in the outer circle of the battlefield. Moreover, the route that Lu Ye planned was an arc, almost close to the edge of the battlefield. So along the way, although they passed through the encampment of several sects, they were all eighth and ninth rank.
He would not rashly enter the station of a higher grade Sect, even if that Sect belonged to Grand Heaven Alliance. Before entering the Spirit Stream Battlefield, the last words of the Sect Master were still ringing in his ears. He did not dare to casually reveal his identity as a disciple of the Blue Blood Sect, even if he did not know what the consequences would be.
It was getting late, and Lu Ye didn't plan to enter the canyon now. After a day's journey, it wouldn't be too late to rest for a night and go tomorrow.
"Yi Yi!" Lu Ye called out.
"Got it." Yi Yi's voice rang out. Then, she floated down from Da Hu's head and floated off into the distance.
She was going to investigate their surroundings.
After interacting with each other for a few days, they had formed a tacit understanding. Every time they rested, Yi Yi would be responsible for investigating their surroundings, in case there were any hidden dangers.
She was a spiritual body, so she could come and go without a trace, making it very convenient for her to do this. There were a few times when some hidden dangers were avoided in advance because of her.
However, she and Da Hu were companions, so there was no way for her to be too far away from Da Hu. According to Yi Yi, there was no problem for her to be within ten kilometres of Da Hu. But once she was ten kilometres away from Da Hu, she would rapidly weaken. If she maintained this state for too long, it was very likely that she would dissipate.
Lu Ye began to look for a suitable place to stay for the night.
After wandering outside for more than half a month, he was already familiar with this place. A suitable place to stay for the night must first be easy to advance and retreat, and second, it must be hidden enough to shelter him from the wind and rain.
After searching for a while, Lu Ye brought Da Hu to a rocky area. Although this location wasn't good enough, there was no better place nearby. Looking at today's weather, it didn't look like it was going to rain, so there was no harm in making do for the night.
Lu Ye took out the firewood he had prepared in advance from his Storage Bag and lit it. Then, he took out a large piece of beast meat and barbecued it over the fire. He then took out a bigger piece and threw it to Da Hu. Da Hu rushed to the side and wolfed it down.
Looking at Da Hu's ferocious eating face, Lu Ye was a little worried. He thought that the Yun Spirit Pills he had saved before would be enough for him to use until he reached the Third-Order Spirit Stream Realm, but now it seemed that it was barely enough.
Da Hu consumed two Yun Spirit Pills a day, and he needed eleven or twelve to open one aperture. Now, he only had thirty or so Yun Spirit Pills on hand.
By the time he opened twenty-seven apertures, these Yun Spirit Pills would probably be exhausted.
Moreover, he had a faint feeling that as Da Hu's strength improved, the consumption of Yun Spirit Pills would increase.
It was worrying! However, this was also the price he had to pay for bringing Da Hu and Yi Yi on the road. At the very least, he could still cultivate while he was on the road, saving a lot of time.
For a low-level cultivator like him, the time he had to cultivate in the early stages was precious.
The beast meat barbecued on the bonfire dripped with oil, making a sizzling sound. Da Hu, who was eating raw meat, suddenly looked up in a direction and let out a low growl.
Immediately, he rushed out and rushed in that direction.
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted. Something had happened to Yi Yi!
Yi Yi was a Nightmare Spirit transformed from Da Hu, so they had an extremely close connection. Therefore, if anything happened to Yi Yi, Da Hu would be able to feel it.
Da Hu's speed was very fast. Even if Lu Ye poured his Spirit Qi into his legs, he could only eat dust behind him. In a hurry, he could only shout, "Hu Po, don't be impulsive!"
He still didn't know what had happened to Yi Yi, so it wasn't a good idea to rush over like this.
Da Hu slowed down a little. After Lu Ye caught up, he flipped over and Da Hu sped up.
After a short while, behind a huge rock, a ball of fire came into view.
There were several cultivators gathered around a bonfire. It seemed that they were preparing to spend the night here. In front of the cultivators was something that looked like a big bell. Spirit light flowed on the big bell, and complex and mysterious patterns gathered to form a pattern that slowly rotated around the big bell.
Inside the big bell, there was a faint sound of impact.
Yi Yi was trapped inside!
Seeing this scene, Lu Ye knew what was going on. Yi Yi was a Spirit Body, so ordinary methods couldn't trap her at all. That big bell was a Spirit Artifact!
Fortunately, after Lu Ye's reminder, Da Hu was able to suppress his bestial impulses and didn't immediately pounce.
Lu Ye urged his Spirit Qi to gather in his eyes and looked at the Spirit Qi on the cultivators.
Four cultivators, one at the second layer of the Spirit Stream Realm, two at the third layer, and one at the fourth layer!
