ials he had bought from the Heavenly Machine Treasure House before, laying them out in a row.Just as in the previous demonstration, three different effects of the Spirit Mark were displayed before the...In the cave, Lu Ye practiced austerities with unwavering dedication. He swallowed each elixir of spiritual essence one by one. As one spiritual acupoint filled, the next barrier crumbled. When weary, he slept; when hungry, he ate.

Life was uneventful, even a little boring, but Lu Ye felt the constant accumulation of spiritual energy within him, knowing it was part of the process of becoming stronger.

Before he achieved the Lingxi Realm, he basically maintained an opening once every three days, consuming about six Yúnlíng Pills.

The reason why he can still maintain his state of lucidity is because his cultivation level has improved, and the efficiency of refining pills is faster than before.

Before, a Qi Gathering Pill would take half a day to refine completely, allowing for only two to be refined per day. However, now if one focuses enough, they can refine three of them.

In this way, although the consumption is greater, the speed of enlightenment can still be maintained.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. The last Lingzhu Dan was consumed.

Lu Ye examined his own cultivation. His realm was still at the Lingxi First Layer, but his spirit apertures had been opened to fifteen. The spiritual energy of the fifteenth aperture hadn't filled completely.

Lu Ye is only three orifices away from reaching the second level of Lingxi! If he could ascend to the second level of Lingxi, his strength would definitely increase significantly. However, he's not there yet. While his spiritual energy reserves have increased considerably, the newly opened orifices are not yet integrated and cannot provide Lu Ye with much assistance in combat.

He still had ore that could be exchanged for spirit stones in his hand. With previous experience, he was preparing to go down the mountain again to visit the Heavenly Machine Trading Alliance.

>>>With a swagger, he walked out of the cave. The sun was high in the sky outside, but this jungle had a dense canopy, allowing only scattered rays of light to pierce through the thick foliage and cast patches of light on the ground.

Lü Yè narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he stepped forward once he'd adjusted.

He walked not far when he suddenly heard some strange noises in the distance. He frowned slightly and, following the sound, crept closer.

After a few moments, he hid behind a large tree and looked forward.

In that direction, three cultivators stood there like they were facing a great enemy, each with a look of despair and anxiety. One of the female cultivators was almost crying.

Not far from the three cultivators, a massive white tiger with snow-white fur paced back and forth. Its amber eyes kept glancing at the three cultivators, giving them a tremendous sense of pressure.

It strode along, its mouth opening and closing: "Open your storage bags and drop them on the ground, then roll out of here, or this king won't mind eating you!"

Lü Yè's eyes twitched at the sound. This dignified and aged voice, he had heard it once before, but in the end, it turned out to be that called Yīyī, the vengeful spirit, who was behind it all.

The three cultivators were clearly frightened. One of them trembled as he untied the storage pouch from his waist, opened the prohibition lock, and dropped it to the ground. He looked at the great tiger with fear and pleaded, "Great King, please calm your anger. We have undoubtedly offended you. The things are all here, please spare us."

>Da Hu glanced at the storage bag on the ground and roared, "Get lost!"

That person hurriedly turned around and ran away without looking back.

With him leading the way, the other two cultivators also hastily dropped their storage pouches and fled for their lives.

Lu Ye clutched the storage bag, checked it slightly, and furrowed his brows.

He found that the things in these storage pouches were pitifully few. Each person only had a few Unlocking Spirit Pills and herbs, some miscellaneous living supplies, and as for spirit stones, there wasn't even a trace.

Yiyi was taken aback by his actions, pouncing on him with bared teeth and claws: "Give it back to me!"

"Clang!" The long sword unsheathed, Lu Ye looked at Yiyi who rushed towards him and smiled without speaking.

Yiyi's figure froze before the long sword, her face contorted with anger. She cursed under her breath, her small mouth as if coated in honey.

"Shall I call those three people back"

Yi Yi immediately shrank her neck, unwillingly retreating. She knew she couldn't get the elixir back from Lu Ye's hand. She could feel that Lu Ye was much stronger than a month ago. If he truly made a move, Da Hu would definitely not be his opponent.

Although she was deeply hurt and wronged, she kept muttering insults like "shameless" and "despicable."

Lu Ye opened his mouth. "

'I have a question for you.'"

"Whatever you ask, I won't tell you!" Yayi gritted her teeth.

"Good answer. Here's your stuff back." Lu Ye waved his hand, displaying the loot – just a few Unlocking Spirit Pills. He didn't think much of them.

"Hmph!" Yiyin scoffed, her expression disdainful as if money were nothing to her. She leaned back against the tiger-head stool, straightened her posture, and lifted her chin. "Ask away!"

"I saw many demon cultivators in the market at the foot of the mountain. They didn't seem that remarkable. Why are they so afraid of you"

This puzzled Lu Ye. Those demonic cultivators were undoubtedly stronger than the tiger. Logically, cultivators who had seen demonic cultivators before shouldn't be so afraid of an unformed demonic beast. They shouldn't be rendered helpless by a few words of intimidation.

"You wouldn't understand this." Yiyi became smug, "A transformed demon cultivator and an un-transformed demon beast are different..."

>

In other words, a monster that can speak human language is equivalent to a powerful being! As for how strong it is, at the very least, it's not something those low-level cultivators on the periphery can provoke.

Therefore, the combination of Dahǔ and Yīyī is very intimidating. Many cultivators who enter this area are harmed as a result.

"原來是這樣！" Lu Ye nodded, feeling like he had gained a deeper understanding of the common sense in the cultivation world.

He raised his hand and threw the stolen goods out. Then, he turned and walked towards the mountains.

"Are you leaving" Yiyin checked everything over, making sure there were no problems, then called out to Lu Ye's back.

"It's none of your business!" Lu Ye's voice echoed from afar.

"Darn it!" Yiy said softly, turning around to hug Da Hu's head, and sadly said, "Amber, we're so pitiful!"

"Ouch..."Tian Lu Yiye all along, and everything unfolded after the latter blew a bone flute!What exactly was that bone flute, that it could spark such a deep interest in a dancer like this ancient relicUnfortu...
