Recuperating and cultivating, the days passed peacefully.
Consuming spirit pills one by one and with the help of the Spirit Gathering Runes, Lu Ye's speed of opening his apertures was much faster than expected. If he went all out, it would take less than two days to open one aperture.
This efficiency was very terrifying. The Gluttonous Meal, a supplementary cultivation method, was of great help to Lu Ye.
Hua Ci came every night as promised. Under her care, Lu Ye's injuries recovered rapidly.
Occasionally, they would chat. From her, Lu Ye unexpectedly learned a very interesting piece of information. The Jiuxing Sect's base 200 miles away had been conquered by the Xuan Sect.
Communication between cultivators was very convenient because of the battlefield imprint. As long as they added each other as friends, as long as they were in the same space, they could easily communicate.
The reason why this piece of news caused such a commotion was because the Jiuxing Sect's grade was clearly higher.
Conquering a sect's base was not a simple matter. Every sect's base was protected by a large array. Without breaking the array, it was impossible to conquer it. Even if one broke the array, they might not be able to get what they wanted. The cultivators guarding the base were not just for show.
In the outer circle of the battlefield, it was rare for a sect's base to be conquered. This was because the sects in the outer circle were not of a high grade and the cultivators' cultivation were relatively weak. Asking a group of low grade cultivators to break the array in the base was obviously too much.
It was said that the Xuan Sect's success this time was mainly because they used an extremely powerful spirit talisman that specialized in breaking arrays.
Because of this, the Jiuxing Sect suffered a huge loss. Many disciples were killed and the good things in the base were swept clean. After the Xuan Sect left, they burned the entire Jiuxing Sect's base to the ground.
When he heard this news, Lu Ye was not surprised. Since the Xuan Sect dared to make a move, they must have some confidence.
Lu Ye rejoiced in Dong Shuye's misfortune. His injuries were all caused by Dong Shuye. Now that the Jiuxing Sect's encampment was occupied, he could finally vent his anger, even though he did not participate.
However, from Hua Ci's words, conquering the base was not what he had expected.
He thought that after the Xuan Sect had taken over the Jiuxing Sect's territory, the territory would be theirs. However, that was not the case. The Xuan Sect had only killed many of the Jiuxing Sect's disciples and looted some resources. Then, they set the place on fire and left.
It was similar to how Haotian Alliance had dealt with the Evil Moon Valley back then.
Back then, the Grand Sky Alliance had occupied the Evil Moon Valley. They didn't linger around the Evil Moon Valley for long and quickly retreated. That was because the Evil Moon Valley was part of the Myriad Devil Ridge's territory. If they stayed there for too long, they would definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the Myriad Devil Ridge.
This was the same on the battlefield. The Jiuxing Sect would definitely have allies to help them. If the Celestial Sect of Wonders continued to stay in the encampment of the Jiuxing Sect of Wonders, they would only be attacked. Rather than that, they might as well take advantage of the situation and run.
Hua Ci said that the Celestial Sect of Wonders had successfully taken over the Jiuxing Sect's encampment and had reaped great benefits. It was not as simple as just seizing some resources. There seemed to be other important benefits as well. This was because she said that in the next ranking assessment, the Celestial Sect of Wonders would definitely be promoted to the eighth rank. On the other hand, the Jiuxing Sect would definitely fall to the ninth rank.
It was impossible for the Celestial Sect of Wonders to be promoted by one rank just by seizing some cultivation resources. Lu Ye could not ask about this matter, so he just listened.
Hua Ci seemed to have always thought that he was a disciple of a Great Sect … He did not know how this misunderstanding came about. Was it because she saw him being generous? As a disciple of a "Great Sect", it was impossible for her to not know this common knowledge.
Tassel Square was a nearby market. It was no different from the other markets that Lu Ye had visited before. The scattered buildings contained the styles of various places in the Nine Provinces.
The largest building was the Subdivision of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance.
Lu Ye could be considered a regular customer of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance. Today, he had followed Hua Ci and the others to this market and came here directly.
There was no other reason. He did not have many Spirit Pills left.
In the past half month, he had paid more than a hundred Spirit Pills to Hua Ci alone, allowing this black-hearted woman to make a fortune. Coupled with his own daily needs for cultivation, he had used up more than half of the original three hundred Spirit Pills. Now that he had opened thirty-five apertures, the remaining Spirit Pills were definitely not enough for him to cultivate to the Fourth-Order Spirit Stream Realm.
Of course, he could also use the effects of the Spirit Gathering Spirit Runes to slowly improve himself, but for him, the benefits of the Spirit Gathering Spirit Runes were only incidental. His cultivation was still mainly based on swallowing Spirit Pills.
After getting used to eating delicacies, how could he be in the mood to eat corn?
The internal structure of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance was almost the same. Under the guidance of a maid, Lu Ye entered a compartment and waited. As usual, he drank a few pots of spirit tea …
This time, the one who came to make a deal with him was a male cultivator who looked to be about thirty years old.
Lu Ye sold four Magnetic Ores this time, so he only had six Magnetic Ores left in his possession.
He also dealt with the storage bags of the Nine Stars Sect's Young Sect Master and his companions. He had been carrying these four storage bags for some time now. Three of them did not require much attention as there was probably nothing good inside. Lu Ye packed them up and sold them to the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance for fifteen Spirit Stones …
He had sold storage bags before, but they weren't worth much because there was a risk in opening them. Low-level cultivators didn't have anything good to begin with, so the merchant union usually bought them for five spirit stones each. Of course, he could also choose to ask the merchant union to open the restriction lock. What he could get from the storage bag all depended on his luck and luck.
If he was lucky, he could make a fortune. If he was unlucky, he could lose everything.
As for the storage bag of the Nine Stars Sect's Young Sect Master, Lu Ye could not sell it for a low price. This guy must have some good stuff.
He put forward his request, and the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance naturally agreed. They did not care where the storage bag came from. They only cared about getting paid to do things.
In the entire Spirit Stream Battlefield, the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance was a very special existence. It did not belong to any faction.
The steward of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance invited Lu Ye to a secret room. After meeting with an old cultivator, he left.
This old cultivator specialized in opening seals for people. His lockpicking skills were superb. This kind of person had a special name in the cultivation world.
Lockpicking Master!
Lu Ye took out the storage bag of the Nine Stars Sect's Young Sect Master. The old cultivator picked it up and sensed it for a moment before giving a price.
Lu Ye paid without hesitation and then waited quietly.
After an hour, a light flashed in the old cultivator's hand and he handed the storage bag to Lu Ye. "It's done."
Lu Ye took it and did not check it. He took out the small bell-like Spirit Tool and said, "Old Mister, please help me open the seal on this item!"
