Chapter 242: The Qingtian Sect's Mineral Veins
There are a lot of skills for this kind of connection on the talent tree, and Lu Ye has benefited a lot from them.
The reason why he made rapid progress in learning the spirit patterns from Madam Yun was closely related to the knowledge he received about these techniques.
When he first got these skills, he didn't know how to use them, but after learning them from Mrs. Yun, Lu Ye slowly figured them out.
The two sharp edges can be connected using this special technique to achieve greater damage.
To put it simply, the two sharp edges connected by this special technique can be regarded as two restraints. The moment Lu Ye drew his sword, there were two more sharp restrictions on the Panshan sword!
Only in this way can the armor with good protection be pierced directly. The moment Lu Ye took out the sword, the spiritual energy attached to the entire sword became extremely sharp.
The knife passed through the chest. Yuan Guang was not dead yet. He raised his sword and stabbed towards Lu Ye's door. However, a sudden surge of spiritual power came out of his chest, followed by spiritual energy that seemed to be stabbed by needles. The force penetrated his body and directly turned him into a hedgehog.
Thorny!
This is a new spiritual pattern that Lu Ye got after letting the talent tree swallow ten more Earth Core Fires some time ago. It has no other use. Once it is formed, it will immediately use the spiritual power that makes up the spiritual pattern as the foundation to give birth to spiritual power. The sting won't last too long.
This spiritual pattern is usually not used, but if it is formed inside the enemy's body, the lethality will be terrifying.
Even if a monk wears some protective spiritual weapons, his body is always very fragile.
In the past, even if Lu Ye stabbed someone, as long as he didn't hurt the vital part, he basically couldn't kill him. But it's different now. When he stabbed someone with a knife, he activated the thorn spiritual pattern, which could directly make the enemy's body full of holes. Not dead but also crippled!
I have to say that this is a very vicious spiritual pattern.
The spiritual thorns disappeared quickly after taking shape. This was because the thorn spiritual patterns dissipated, but the injuries left behind would not disappear.
Yuan Guang's long sword stopped in front of Lu Ye's eyes, unable to move any further.
When Lu Ye drew his sword, he kicked it out and Yuan Guang flew out.
Ding dong…
Without the master's envoy, Yuan Guang's imperial weapon was also shot down. Lu Ye raised his hand and took back his two spiritual weapons.
There was a strong sense of rejection coming from all around, and Lu Ye knew that this was Yiyi urging the Nine Realms Diagram.
In the blink of an eye, a person appeared in front of Yiyi, and Yuan Guang's body lay not far away.
Hao Ren looked at Lu Ye with a complicated expression, his mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to word it, so he was speechless for a moment.
However, Hao Qing couldn't help but praise: "Fellow Taoist Yiye, you are so... amazing!" The trembling voice showed that the praise came from the bottom of his heart.
The two brothers and sisters stood next to Yiyi and watched the battle from beginning to end. Although the battle looked a bit funny because of the way the formation diagram was presented, and they could not feel the danger of a life-and-death fight at all, but the final result was Lu Ye Yuan Guang was killed, and his body was crawling next to him, with blood flowing all over the floor.
We all know that some monks from top sects can kill enemies by crossing levels, but the so-called killing enemies by crossing levels is nothing more than climbing one level of cultivation. Who has ever seen climbing two levels?
Judging from the fact that Lu Ye was unscathed, it was obvious that he had not used his full strength in this battle.
They were wrong about this. Lu Ye basically had no reservations in this battle. He used all the means he needed. Unfortunately, Yuan Guang's last-minute choice was a bit mysterious. Otherwise, he would not have died so quickly. At least he could have fought with Lu Ye. For a while.
The reason why Lu Ye was able to escape unscathed was because he had accumulated a lot of experience fighting monks in the mirage realm, so he basically didn't make any mistakes. This was all accumulated by his repeated deaths.
For example, Lu Ye had seen the sword light that Yuan Guang slashed out more than once in the mirage realm. If he hadn't accumulated experience in the mirage realm, Lu Ye would have been in a hurry when he saw this kind of sword light for the first time.
In comparison, the ninth level in the mirage realm is no different from the ninth level in reality, and their strength is also almost the same.
With a clue in his mind, Lu Ye looked at Yiyi with a questioning look. Yiyi nodded slightly, indicating that he was fine.
It was a bit reluctant to activate the Nine Realms Diagram with her strength. Fortunately, she only needed to maintain the operation of the Nine Realms Diagram, and the consumption was still bearable.
After this battle, the Hao Ren brothers and sisters undoubtedly have a new understanding of Lu Ye's strength, and they feel much more relaxed. After all, this is the territory of the Qingtian Sect, and they are afraid of being discovered by the Ninth Level Realm when they stay here.
Now it seems that those who really come to the ninth level will die.
Lu Ye and Yiyi needed to recover, so the Hao Ren brothers offered to protect them.
Time passes, and the night ends and the day dawns.
The fragrance of purple cloud flower becomes more and more intense, the buds begin to bloom slowly, and this purple cloud flower is fully mature.
Hao Ren took out a hundred spiritual stones and handed them to Lu Ye, and then Hao Qing carefully picked the purple cloud flower and put it into the wooden box that had been prepared.
The money and goods were paid, and the cooperation was considered pleasant. For Lu Ye, these hundred spiritual stones were picked up for free. Although the quantity was not large, it was enough for him and Hu Huo to practice for a few days.
"Brother Yiye, you asked about the location of the Qingtian Sect's mineral vein before because you wanted to go..." As Hao Ren spoke, he reached out and made a gesture on his neck.
"Brother Hao, do you have any advice?"
Hao Ren waved his hand quickly: "I don't want to take it seriously, but there are a lot of people over there. It would be unavoidable for the Yiye brothers and sisters to pass by like this... it would be..." He didn't know what to say. He wanted to say reckless, but he was afraid of offending him. People are unhappy.
"I'll play it by ear."
Hao Ren said: "If you don't mind, how about my brother and sister go with you?" If he hadn't seen how Lu Ye killed Yuan Guang, Hao Ren would never dare to make this suggestion. But seeing with his own eyes that even Yuan Guang was no match for Lu Ye, Hao Ren felt that this might not be impossible, but he just needed to be careful.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows: "It would be best if it were so."
He was not surprised that Hao Ren and his sister would join in. Yinguang Island and Qingtian Sect are neighbors, so friction is inevitable. Someone is stirring up trouble on the side of Qingtian Sect, and the cultivators of Yinguang Island are naturally happy to see it happen.
Lu Ye didn't win them over before, firstly because they were not familiar with each other, and secondly because others might not be willing to take risks.
But it was different when Hao Ren took the initiative to propose it. Both of them were in the eighth level, and their strength was not bad.
After a conversation, he learned that both of them were ghost cultivators and proficient in hiding.
Lu Ye then understood how the two of them dared to run to the territory of Qingtian Sect to find some purple cloud flowers. It turned out that they were ghost cultivators.
The ghost cultivator faction is similar to the soldier cultivator before the seventh level, but after the seventh level, when they can communicate with the netherworld, they can play the advantages of this school. Among the major factions, the physical cultivators have the strongest physique, the magic cultivators have great magic, the military cultivators are brave, and the medical cultivators save the dying.
Ghost cultivators are hard to guard against because they are fast and good at assassination and hiding. This faction is also the easiest to kill enemies across levels.
If a ghost cultivator approaches you silently, even if your cultivation is higher than the other party, you may not have a good end.
Correspondingly, the fragility of ghost cultivators is comparable to that of magic cultivators, and they can never practice magic. There is a price to pay for communicating with the netherworld, because the spiritual power in the ghost cultivators is no longer pure spiritual power, it is a very strange power, and it is this power that gives them all kinds of incredible abilities.
According to Lu Ye's original idea, he would find the place where the cultivators of the Qingtian Sect gathered, and then find a way to lure the snake out of the hole. He was a seventh-level cultivator, and he was also from the Haotian League. As long as he showed up there, he would definitely be hunted down.
In this way, if one came, kill one, if two came, kill a pair, if there were too many people, just run.
Anyway, whatever disgusting thing to do would be done.
He came for revenge, and he would not talk about benevolence and morality with the enemy.
Now that he had the Hao Ren brothers and sisters, it would be easier to do it. To lure the snake out of the hole, there must be bait. The eighth-level ghost cultivator is undoubtedly a very suitable bait, especially this bait comes from Yinguang Island.
After some discussion, the plan was set.
The four of them headed towards the direction of the Qingtian Sect's mine.
The eighth-level cultivator can barely fly with a flying device, but not to mention the spiritual power consumed by flying with a flying device, it is not appropriate to show off in the territory of the hostile forces.
So the four of them rushed all the way there. Fortunately, the mine of the Qingtian Sect was not too far from here, about 200 miles away, just 30 miles outside the Qingtian Sect’s headquarters.
The resources controlled by each sect would not be too far away from their own headquarters, because if they were too far away, there would be no sufficient power to protect them.
This was also the standard for the major forces to select the location of their headquarters. They would first find out the location of the resources in the headquarters, and then determine the location of the headquarters.
After a day of travel, the four of them had reached their destination at night.
This location was only 60 miles away from the Qingtian Sect’s headquarters and 30 miles away from the mine.
They did not act immediately, but made some adjustments.
At midnight, Hao Ren set off stealthily. Lu Ye saw him walk not far away and suddenly merge into the night. Even if he urged the spiritual light to gather in his eyes, he could not see Hao Ren’s trace.
This is the uniqueness of ghost cultivation. Hao Ren’s cultivation is not enough now, and he cannot be completely hidden, but there is no problem in restraining his own spiritual light.
When a ghost cultivator reaches the Yunhe Realm, it is even more difficult to detect his whereabouts, so a powerful ghost cultivator is very feared. He may wield a weapon that can take people's lives at a time and place that the enemy least expects.
Of course, there is a way to crack the ghost cultivator's concealment. If attacked, he will be exposed. Moreover, after the cultivation becomes stronger, the cultivator's perception will become stronger, and he will have a vague feeling of the potential crisis.
After waiting for less than an hour, two streams of light suddenly rushed out from the opposite side of the mine, one on the left and one on the right, rushing straight towards this side. These two people are both ninth-level cultivators, and one of them should be a magic cultivator, because he kept casting spells while flying and hitting downwards, with amazing momentum. Although the other one did not activate the spell, he also activated the power of the flying weapon, and a light golden stream of light shuttled through the woods.
