Chapter 6: Encounter on the Road (On the Ranks)

Taking Qi and Blood Pills can strengthen the power of Qi and Blood, and then activating the spiritual power in the spiritual orifice to refine Qi and Blood, so as to obtain more spiritual power.

Thanks to the relics of Manager Yang, this is the only way Lu Ye can practice at present.

I counted it before, and there are a total of 253 Qi and Blood Pills, which is not a small number.

Lu Ye thought that so many Qi and Blood Pills were enough for him to use, but when he really practiced, he found that these Qi and Blood Pills might not last long.

The first time he practiced, he only refined the medicinal effects of two Qi and Blood Pills. He had never done this before, and he had been groping for a long time before he had some clues on how to refine essence into Qi.

By the second time, he could refine four Qi and Blood Pills, which was a bit of practice makes perfect.

Six pills for the third time...

Ten pills for the fourth time...

The more he practiced, the faster the Qi and Blood Pills were consumed, because the spiritual power in his spiritual orifice was increasing every day.

The more spiritual power he had, the higher the efficiency of refining essence into Qi, and the greater the consumption of Qi and Blood Pills.

Lu Ye understood one thing. This Qi and Blood Pill was not a very good thing. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for a cultivator who had just successfully opened his mind to consume so much.

Real cultivators practice with a high probability of using some special spiritual pills for practice. It was a pity that he did not know them and did not dare to try them casually.

The mine was dim and dark. Lu Ye did not know how long it had been. When he used up all the Qi and Blood Pills, he knew he had to go out.

It was not because he had no resources for practice, but because he had no food.

After he began to refine his essence into Qi, his appetite was opened. Manager Yang brought a lot of food. If he ate sparingly, it would be enough for two months. After all, he planned to hide here for a long time. How could he not make adequate preparations?

Although there was no way to calculate the time exactly, Lu Ye estimated that it had been only about ten days since he started practicing.

During this period of practice, Lu Ye's gains were not great, but not small.

The spiritual power in the source spiritual orifice was full. In other words, he was qualified to open the next spiritual orifice and practice the Golden Cicada Free and Easy Art.

However, when he opened the second spiritual orifice according to the guidance of the Golden Cicada Xiaoyao Jue, he failed to find the location. Not only did he fail to practice, but he also wasted a lot of spiritual power.

No wonder I heard people say that cultivation requires the guidance of elders. I don’t know how many detours I will take if I try to explore like this.

So although he consumed all the Qi and Blood Pills, he is still only a cultivator with one orifice.

His injuries have healed and do not hinder his movements.

What makes Lu Ye a little entangled is how to deal with Manager Yang’s storage bag. If he leaves it here, Lu Ye will be unwilling.

This is Manager Yang’s life savings. There are many good things in it. Apart from other things, those rare minerals are very valuable. He has no relatives in this world and no elders to take care of him. In the future, his cultivation will definitely consume a lot of resources. With Manager Yang’s relics, at least he doesn’t have to worry about the resources for cultivation in the early stage.

But it would not be appropriate to carry it with him. This is a world of cultivation. It is not uncommon for people to kill people for money. He is a cultivator with a precious storage bag. It is hard to guarantee that people will not have bad intentions when they see it.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Ye decided to bring the storage bag. Fortune is always sought in danger. If he missed this opportunity, he might not have the chance to make such a fortune again.

After making up his mind, Lu Ye returned to the place where he killed Manager Yang before and picked up his pickaxe that was cut off.

Since he decided to bring the storage bag, he certainly couldn't let go of the Yuanci ore here. This mineral is still very precious.

Swinging the pickaxe, Lu Ye sweated profusely.

He has been doing mining for a year and has been familiar with it. Now he has spiritual power as a foundation, and his efficiency is much faster than before.

He mined one piece of Yuanci ore after another and put it into the storage bag.

Until all the Yuanci ore was mined, Lu Ye threw away the pickaxe.

If everything goes well, I won't need this thing in the future!

He took off his clothes, put the storage bag close to his body, and tied it with a cloth strip. In this way, as long as he was not stripped and searched, the existence of the storage bag would not be exposed.

However, he took out the long sword of Manager Yang in advance. It might not be safe to go on this journey, and having a weapon in hand could also be used in an emergency.

After everything was ready, Lu Ye took a deep breath and walked out according to his memory.

He was cautious all the way, fearing that a cultivator from the Evil Moon Valley would suddenly jump out from the dark, so he didn't dare to walk too fast to avoid exposing his whereabouts.

However, what he feared came true. When he turned a corner in the dark and entered a mine tunnel, his body suddenly froze.

Not far ahead, a figure leaned against the rock wall of the mine tunnel, breathing softly.

The air was still filled with a faint smell of blood...

Lu Ye wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The man turned his head to look at Lu Ye, and the next moment he shouted in surprise: "Lu Ye?"

Lu Ye's heart suddenly tightened. The fact that his face could be seen clearly in such a dark place meant that this man was a cultivator, and the one who knew him was undoubtedly a cultivator from the Evil Moon Valley.

Sure enough, Manager Yang would think of taking refuge in the mine tunnel, and other cultivators from the Evil Moon Valley would also think of it. Now, I don't know how many people from the Evil Moon Valley are hiding in this mine vein.

Thinking quickly, Lu Ye focused his spiritual power on his eyes and finally saw the other person's face clearly.

It was a cultivator named Zhou Cheng in the mine, who was under the jurisdiction of Manager Yang. His status was lower than Manager Yang, and his cultivation should not be as good as Manager Yang.

This Zhou Cheng seemed to be injured, and the bloody smell came from him.

"Come here!" Zhou Cheng lowered his voice and greeted him.

"Okay!" Lu Ye responded immediately, and walked towards Zhou Cheng, walking faster and faster.

Zhou Cheng immediately noticed something was wrong, mainly because Lu Ye was holding a sword in his hand. He frowned and said, "Where did you get this sword?"

This sword is obviously the sword of the monks of Xieyue Valley. It is very problematic for Lu Ye to hold it in his hand.

Lu Ye did not answer, and was only three feet away from Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng finally felt Lu Ye's murderous intention, and hurriedly stood up, gritted his teeth and shouted, "I will kill you, little beast!"

As he said this, he raised the sword and stabbed Lu Ye. The long sword was infused with spiritual power, and a faint light bloomed in the darkness.

There is nothing too particular about this sword. It just infuses spiritual power into the long sword to increase the lethality of this sword. Facing Lu Ye, a mortal, Zhou Cheng naturally feels that he can decide life and death.

The last person who thought so was Yang Guanshi, whose body had already begun to rot.

The sword light quickly enlarged in Lu Ye's vision. He exerted all his strength to stimulate his spiritual power and gathered it on his eyes. The whole world seemed to slow down a lot.

Unlike the sneak attack on Manager Yang with the help of the magnetic field, this was the first time that Lu Ye fought a cultivator head-on. He could not afford to hesitate or retreat.

Fortunately, this cultivator's cultivation was not high and he was seriously injured. This was why Lu Ye dared to kill him.

When the long sword was about to come, Lu Ye slid sideways and avoided it dangerously. Then he raised the long sword in his hand. At the same time, a mysterious and complex pattern flashed on the long sword.

Sharp blessing!
