Chapter 108: Healing and Practicing
Familiar environment, familiar situation, but compared to last time, Lu Ye only stayed in bed for three days before he could walk.
The injuries caused by sharp weapons are undoubtedly easier to recover. With the daily conditioning of Hua Ci, a medical practitioner, he feels that he will be healed in no time.
He has not been idle these days. In cooperation 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 pills to replenish his spiritual power.
After a few days, the injury got better.
Under the moonlight, Lu Ye was practicing swordsmanship. Under a big tree not far away, Amber was crawling there to take a nap, yawning from time to time with her bloody mouth. Yiyi leaned against Amber's soft belly, sat there with her hands on her knees, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After a long time, she sighed and whispered to Amber: "Amber, we are so useless."
The reason for such a sigh is that she found that since she followed Lu Ye out of Qingyun Mountain, the role they could play was very limited. It was difficult for the two of them to get involved in the fights that Lu Ye participated in.
Whether it was facing Dong Shuye's pursuit before, or the life-and-death fight with Senior Brother Zhou, it was all the same.
In the final analysis, it was still too weak.
Amber's biggest role was to carry Lu Ye on the road, and her biggest role was to be alert around when Lu Ye was resting.
This made Yiyi feel a little powerless. If she and Amber could help Lu Ye before, Lu Ye would not have been so seriously injured.
"We have to become stronger." Yiyi said to Amber again, "Do you know?"
Amber opened her mouth and hummed.
"Then it's decided!" Yiyi nodded heavily.
When the moon was at its zenith and Lu Ye put away his knife, Yiyi trotted over and looked up at him: "Lu Ye, Lu Ye."
"Hmm?"
"Can you give us some more elixirs?" Yiyi asked shyly.
"What do you want the elixirs for?" Lu Ye was puzzled.
"Feed it to Amber, so that you don't have to worry about it when you are in trouble, and I will feed it."
"That's fine." Lu Ye would not refuse such a small request, and immediately took out a storage bag and put a few bottles of elixirs in it.
Yiyi ran back happily with the storage bag, and even found a strong rope to tie around Amber's neck, so that she could use it at any time.
She took out a soul-enriching pill from the storage bag and stuffed it into her mouth: "Eat it, eat more, and become stronger!"
...
Under the continuous agitation and impact of the spiritual power, the spiritual orifice barrier slowly loosened and gradually broke, and the gurgling spiritual power flowed into the new spiritual orifice.
The 46th orifice opened!
When he set out from Yingshan to look for amber, he had already opened thirty-seven orifices. During the days of looking for amber, he also practiced at night. The double blessing of the gluttonous meal and the spirit pattern made him open his orifices very quickly. When he found amber, he had opened forty-one orifices.
It has been twelve days since he returned to Yingshan. Except for the first few days when Lu Ye did not practice, he did not waste the rest of the time. Recuperation did not affect the opening of orifices, and he even had more time to practice.
As of today, forty-six orifices have been opened.
Normally, the minimum requirement for opening orifices in the fourth level of Lingxi is forty-five orifices, of course, this is under the premise of practicing only one technique.
However, because Lu Ye first practiced the yellow-level Golden Cicada Xiaoyao Jue, and then practiced the auxiliary technique of gluttonous meal, these two techniques do not overlap with the two spiritual orifices of the Red Lotus Chongxiao Jue he is practicing now, so if he wants to be promoted to the fourth level of Lingxi, he has to open two more spiritual orifices.
In other words, as long as one more orifice is opened, Lu Ye can be promoted to the fourth level of Lingxi, and at the same time, the palace route of the spiritual power in his body can be converted into the route of the Red Lotus Soaring to the Sky.
The two spiritual orifices that do not overlap are not useless. Lu Ye has studied the subsequent spiritual orifices of the Red Lotus Soaring to the Sky and knows that the two spiritual orifices are included in the route of the fifth level, so when he is promoted to the fifth level, he will open two less spiritual orifices.
In the ninth level of Lingxi, the fourth and seventh levels are each a watershed, because the first three levels only need to open nine orifices each to be promoted, but at the fourth level, at least eighteen orifices are required.
The difference of a full double of spiritual orifices, once the spiritual power penetrates these spiritual orifices to form a small Zhoutian cycle, it will also bring great improvement to the cultivator.
Under normal circumstances, a fourth-level cultivator does not need to spend much effort to kill a third-level cultivator. Only people like Lu Ye who can activate spiritual patterns to fight can make up for the strength gap brought by the realm.
With only one spiritual orifice missing, it will take less than two days at Lu Ye's current cultivation speed.
However, he had practiced for a long time today. Although there were no hidden dangers in swallowing the elixir, practicing was a boring thing after all. If he meditated for a long time, his qi and blood would stagnate.
He opened his eyes, checked his elixir, and sighed slightly.
The price of rapid growth in strength was the huge consumption of elixir. Now he needed about 14 or 15 elixir pills for each orifice he opened. Adding the medical fee for Hua Ci and the money for Amber and Yiyi, there were not many elixir pills left.
After he was promoted to the fourth level, he would go to the Tianji Business Alliance again. He only had six pieces of Yuanci ore left to sell...
"Lu Ye, Lu Ye." Yiyi, who was standing by, came over.
"What?" Lu Ye looked up at her.
Yiyi said, "Will we stay here?" These days, she and Ruan Lingyu gradually became familiar with each other, and the relationship between the two girls was getting better and better.
From Ruan Lingyu, she learned about Lu Ye's last visit here, and also knew that Lu Ye had come back to find her and Amber, which moved her. Sharing hardships and life and death together, their relationship has undoubtedly become closer.
"Do you want to stay here?"
Yiyi tilted her head and thought for a while: "Lingyu is a very good person, Sister Huaci is also very good, and everyone else is very good. It would be nice if I could stay here, but it depends on you."
"You don't have to look at me. If you want to stay, you can stay. This group of people are really good."
"Oh, then I won't stay." Yiyi looked up at him and said with a smile: "Since we set out together, let's go together. We will go with you."
Lu Ye raised his hand and patted her head.
Yiyi was immediately annoyed: "Why are you patting my head? You make me look like a child!"
Lu Ye grabbed her head and rubbed it hard.
"I'm so angry!" Yiyi finally got rid of the devil's claws and stomped her feet and ran out.
Soon, she and Ruan Lingyu's laughter came from next door.
