Chapter 31 Eight Apertures

For a young cultivator who has only opened three orifices, these things are undoubtedly a huge fortune.

The ore and talisman are temporarily useless. If he wants to improve his cultivation, he can only rely on the soul-enriching pills and blood-qi pills.

Lu Ye put the ore and most of the elixirs and talismans into the storage bag given to him by the head teacher, and then kept them close to his body. He then divided the remaining things into two parts and put them into the storage bags of Yang Guanshi and Zhou Cheng. One part was tied around the waist for easy access at any time, and the other was hidden in the chest for backup.

After that, he changed into a set of clean clothes. The clothes he wore before were already torn and bloodstained after the fight with Yang Guanshi. If he had not had no clothes to change, he would have thrown them away long ago.

New clothes and new look, Lu Ye felt refreshed.

Everything was ready, he took out a soul-enriching pill, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, refining the medicinal effect.

A heat flow soon appeared in his lower abdomen. It was the pill power that was dissolving and transforming into Lu Ye's spiritual power, pouring into the spiritual orifice.

The spiritual orifice, which was not full at first, gradually filled up.

However, Lu Ye soon discovered a strange thing, that is, there were some strange existences beside him. Those existences were invisible and intangible, but omnipresent. Only when Lu Ye calmed down could he feel them.

This reminded him of the scene when he was testing his talent level and sitting on the disc array.

Is this... spiritual energy?

Swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy is one of the most important means for cultivators to practice. When the spiritual stones are exhausted, it is not advisable to take too many spiritual pills, otherwise the poison of the pills will accumulate and the efficiency of refining essence into qi will be low. Therefore, many times, cultivators practice by absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is everywhere, it's just a matter of quantity.

But since Lu Ye opened his orifice, he has only felt the existence of spiritual energy when testing his talent, and that was because there was atomization of spiritual power of spiritual stones on the array.

Apart from that, he has never felt any trace of the existence of spiritual energy.

Until now!

Why did he suddenly feel the existence of spiritual energy? It must not be because of his increased cultivation. There is actually not much difference between opening one orifice and opening three orifices.

So, is it because the spiritual energy here is rich enough that I noticed it?

Lu Ye calmly felt it and found that the concentration of the spiritual energy around him was only slightly worse than the environment when he was testing at that time, but much better than the environment in Xieyue Valley or outside.

Is this the unique environment of Lingxi Battlefield? So, it is obviously more beneficial for cultivators to practice in the battlefield.

Lu Ye vaguely understood the significance of Lingxi Battlefield to the cultivators.

In fact, his guess was correct. The spiritual energy in Lingxi Battlefield was indeed much richer than the outside world. This was still the wilderness of the battlefield. If Lu Ye could go to the garrisons of the major sects, he would find that the spiritual energy there would only be richer. The higher the grade of the sect, the greater the concentration of spiritual energy, and the faster the cultivators' practice progressed.

This is also the reason why new sects have been springing up like mushrooms after rain for so many years, because after establishing a sect, you can get the Tianji Pillar, and then you can have a garrison belonging to your own sect in Lingxi Battlefield. Practicing in the garrison is much more efficient than in the outside world.

Moreover, the garrisons of the major sects on the battlefield are not only used for cultivation, but also for cultivating spiritual plants and medicines or doing other things.

It can be said that the garrisons of each sect on the battlefield are the most important foundation of the sect.

At present, Lu Ye does not know much about the situation on the battlefield. He just feels novel after discovering the spiritual energy around him.

However, he did not practice by absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, which is not efficient.

Among the several methods of cultivation for cultivators, the most efficient one is undoubtedly taking drugs.

One day later, Lu Ye's three orifices were full again. He paused for a while, took out the wolf meat he had cut before, roasted it, and ate it whole.

Wolf meat is not delicious. Even if it is roasted, it still has a fishy smell, but Lu Ye knows that he should focus on improving his strength at the moment, so he naturally does not want to waste time hunting.

He practiced almost non-stop, taking one soul-enriching pill after another.

Half a day later, the barrier of the four orifices was broken, and three days later, the four orifices were full.

Three days later, the five orifices were full.

After three days, the six orifices were full.

The consumption of a large number of Qi and Blood Pills and Yunling Pills opened Lu Ye's spiritual orifices one by one.

After consuming all the Yunling Pills and Qi and Blood Pills, Lu Ye had opened eight orifices, and only half a month had passed!

In half a month, five orifices were opened, basically maintaining the speed of opening one orifice every three days. Considering the previous three orifices, Lu Ye has now become an eight-orifice cultivator, only one step away from the first level of Lingxi!

Such a cultivation speed is extremely amazing. Lu Ye is not sure about the speed of others' cultivation, but it is definitely impossible to be as fast as himself.

Because he swallowed too many spiritual pills in this half month.

At this moment, he finally confirmed one thing, that is, there is really no big hidden danger in his drug cultivation. His spiritual power is still as pure as before, and there is no situation of obscure spiritual power and elixir poison accumulation as the headmaster said before.

Qi and Blood Pills and Yunling Pills have been consumed, and the barrier of the ninth orifice has not been broken, which makes Lu Ye a little uncomfortable.

He tried to inhale and exhale spiritual energy to practice, but found that the efficiency of such practice was extremely low. It was difficult for him to draw the spiritual energy of the outside world into his body.

Of course, it was not without effect. Lu Ye estimated that if he practiced here for three to five months, he might have a chance to break through the spiritual barrier of the ninth orifice.

In three to five months, there are too many variables. Lu Ye needs to achieve the Lingxi realm as soon as possible to barely have the qualifications to survive on the battlefield!

He secretly regretted that the headmaster did not help him prepare more spiritual pills.

This is what he wanted to do. Generally, for a beginner like Lu Ye, taking a Soul-Enriching Pill every three to five days is the correct way to practice. When the cultivation level gradually increases, the frequency of taking the Soul-Enriching Pill can be increased.

The headmaster prepared twenty pills for him at one time. Counting the ones he already had, it was enough for him to practice for a long time, not to mention some Qi and Blood Pills.

Who could have known that he took drugs like eating beans, and consumed all the Soul-Enriching Pills in just half a month.

No one in the world practices like this. For cultivators, absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy or using spirit stones is the orthodox and safe way to practice.
