Chapter 643: Changes in the Xi Fruit Core

After checking the talent tree, Lu Ye woke up Yiyi and took out the many spirit signs he had just taken. As time passed, the spirit signs were crushed one by one, and the rich and pure spiritual energy gushed out. One person and one spirit devoured them eagerly and practiced.

One day later, all the spirit signs were consumed. Lu Ye silently sensed himself. His cultivation level was not improved too much. After all, the time those spirit signs lasted was not as long as a golden spirit sign.

When his cultivation level reached this level, it was no longer possible to break through with one or two golden spirit signs.

But this is how cultivation works. Accumulation bit by bit, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Without the spirit sign, Lu Ye swallowed the elixir and continued to practice.

He showed up in the Tianji Business Alliance, which caused a storm. Although he wore a mask throughout the whole process and did not reveal his true face, for some Wanmo Ridge cultivators who were sure that he was hiding in the Tianji Business Alliance, they could make some judgments through some clues.

Now there must be many strong men from Wanmo Ridge waiting outside the Tianji Business Alliance.

Lu Ye had no intention of leaving here in the short term.

Time passed quickly, and several days passed.

It was a bit boring to practice for a long time, especially since Lu Ye's practice method was different from others.

When other cultivators were absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they needed to immerse their minds and concentrate. During the practice, it was difficult to notice the passage of time. Perhaps after a practice, several days had passed.

This was also the reason why those cultivators with higher cultivation often retreated for a year or even longer. They could not notice the passage of time.

Lu Ye was different. His cultivation mainly relied on swallowing elixirs, which did not delay him from doing other things, so it was easy to feel bored after a long time.

Generally, when encountering such a situation, Lu Ye would stop practicing and walk around.

However, it was not easy to walk around in the current situation. After thinking about it, Lu Ye decided to enter the mirage to hone his swordsmanship.

The practice of swordsmanship is undoubtedly much more difficult than the improvement of cultivation. The improvement of cultivation can be felt, but swordsmanship is not. Before breaking through a bottleneck, the improvement of swordsmanship is extremely slow. Perhaps there will be no significant changes for a long time, but once a bottleneck is broken, it will enter another realm.

Immersed in the storage space on the back of his hand, Lu Ye prepared to take out the Xiguo core.

However, a moment later, when the Xiguo core appeared in his palm, he was stunned.

The Xiguo core looks a little different from before.

Although the Xiguo core is the core of the Xiguo, in fact, this thing looks like a sapphire at first glance. When Lu Ye first came into contact with this thing, he was still very curious. How could a fruit core look like this? At that time, he only felt that the world was full of wonders.

But later he gradually understood that this was not a fruit core in the strict sense. This thing was a carrier endowed with a special ability by Tianji, and it was a key to open the mirage, so the external appearance was not the focus.

Today's Xiguo core is obviously different from before.

The surface of the sapphire-like fruit core had many complex patterns, which looked extremely complicated.

Even though Lu Ye had already achieved a high level of attainment in the way of spiritual patterns, he could not tell what these patterns meant, and while observing, he even suddenly had an illusion that his entire mind was sucked into the fruit core.

The fruit core had become different from before...

What puzzled Lu Ye even more was, where was the other fruit core?

He had one, and he got another from the spoils a few days ago, a total of two, and they looked almost identical, and he put them all in the storage space on the back of his hand.

But now, there was only one left...

There was no such thing as an oversight. The storage space on the back of the hand was formed by the void thorn pattern. Although the space was not small and stored a lot of things, Lu Ye's mind was immersed in it, and he could easily find what he wanted from it.

Now there was only one fruit core left, and the other one disappeared, and there were many complex patterns on the surface of the fruit core on his hand.

This made Lu Ye have some guesses.

This thing... can it fuse with each other?

He put the two Breath Fruit Cores together, and without him noticing, the two Breath Fruit Cores merged into one. Although it sounds a bit outrageous, this is the only explanation.

He searched again without giving up, but still couldn't find the second Breath Fruit Core.

It seems that the two Breath Fruit Cores really merged into one.

The original Breath Fruit Core allowed him to enter the mirage to hone his swordsmanship. What is the use of the new Breath Fruit Core now?

No matter what the use is, you will know after trying it.

Lu Ye held the Breath Fruit Core in his palm, urged his spiritual power to pour into it, and immersed himself in it.

His vision blurred, and he had appeared in a closed small space. In front of him was an ancient door with a line of large characters printed on it: "To enter the mirage, you need to consume one hundred merits."

It was exactly the same as what he had seen before, and there seemed to be no change.

Just as Lu Ye was thinking this, his peripheral vision suddenly glimpsed the other side. He turned his head and looked at it with a look of surprise.

Because there was a big door in this direction, with a line of words on it: "To enter the mirage, you need to consume 10,000 merits."

One hundred and ten thousand, the difference is a hundred times!

It is certain that there was only one door in this closed small space before, which was the door that consumed 100 merits. After pushing the door open, you will enter an environment wrapped in thick fog. From the thick fog, there will be monks or various insect figures rushing out, allowing people to hone their skills and enemy-killing skills.

Where does this door that consumes 10,000 merits lead to?

Why did such a change occur after the fusion of two Xiguo cores with the same effect?

Lu Ye suddenly felt that the Xiguo core seemed not as simple as he thought. Tianji gave the two Xiguo cores the effect of leading to the mirage. When the two Xiguo cores that can lead to the mirage were fused, they not only retained the original effect, but also gained another effect that Lu Ye had never come into contact with.

Judging from the consumed merits alone, the place where this second door leads to must be full of crises.

Of course, it may not be the case. Everything needs to be explored.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Ye might not enter the second gate. After all, he is only a cultivator of the fifth level of Yunhe now. He is not qualified to intervene in too dangerous places.

But this is the Mirage Realm. Even if he dies, he will not really die, but there will be some pain.

As for the 10,000 merits... other cultivators may not be able to take them out, and it is really nothing to Lu Ye.

So after looking at the second gate for a while, Lu Ye made a decision.

Go in and take a look. No matter where the second gate leads to and what dangers are inside, you have to see it with your own eyes.

It's nothing more than losing 10,000 merits and then being killed out.

With the decision, Lu Ye immediately walked to the newly appeared second gate and raised his hand to push it.

The back of his hand felt slightly hot, and the merits were deducted by 10,000 points. The heavy gate was slowly pushed open, and Lu Ye stepped into it.

The moment he crossed the gate, Lu Ye suddenly had a feeling that it was not real, as if he had suddenly gotten rid of some constraints and became much stronger.

But he didn't have time to think deeply about this, because every time he arrived in an unfamiliar environment, the first thing to do was to hide his body and be alert to all directions to avoid being attacked!

So when he passed through the gate, Lu Ye constructed the hidden and breath-retaining spiritual patterns to bless himself, and at the same time raised his hand and pressed on the handle of the Panshan knife on his waist, ready to go!

Almost at the same time when Lu Ye passed through the newly appeared gate and entered this unknown space, in the guest room, Amber, who was sleeping soundly, and Yiyi, who was practicing, noticed the abnormality at the same time, and opened their eyes and looked at Lu Ye.

At this moment, the spirit and the tiger had an extremely strange feeling, as if Lu Ye had disappeared all of a sudden.

But he was clearly in front of them.

Yiyi was a little flustered. Even though she knew that it was not appropriate to disturb Lu Ye at this moment, she couldn't help but gently call out: "Lu Ye?"

No response was received.

Yiyi got up and came to Lu Ye's side, carefully observed for a moment, and then put her trembling hand under Lu Ye's nose to try, and suddenly burst into tears: "Lu Ye!"

She couldn't even feel Lu Ye's breathing!

And she could sense that Lu Ye seemed to have lost something extremely important.

As a spirit, although her cultivation was not high, only equal to Lu Ye's, her perception of the soul was still very sharp.

At this moment, Lu Ye's body clearly had no trace of the soul. In other words, Lu Ye only had a flesh body left here, and he was no longer breathing.

Amber was also frightened, and hurried to Lu Ye and patted him with her paw.

"Lu Ye is dead!" Yiyi sat on the ground, crying, and the deep sadness overwhelmed her.

Amber was frightened, and growled at Lu Ye, but got no response. How could he die suddenly? He was still practicing just now.

But then he thought, that's not right. If Lu Ye died, then what about his own life? He turned around and roared at Yiyi again.

Yiyi could see through Amber's thoughts, and after being reminded by it, she reacted immediately.

Lu Ye and Amber not only made a pet contract, but also concluded the art of life essence. As Lu Ye's destiny beast, if Amber died, Lu Ye would be hurt, but if Lu Ye died, Amber would not be able to survive alone.

And Yiyi is Amber's companion spirit. If Amber died, she would definitely not survive.

So Lu Ye's life and death involved not only himself, but also the survival of a spirit and a tiger.

Now Amber and Yiyi are safe and sound, which can only mean one thing.

Lu Ye is still alive!

Realizing this, Yiyi quickly suppressed the sadness in her heart, sobbed and stretched out her hand, and once again tested Lu Ye's breath.

Very weak, very weak, but there was indeed a breath.

The ups and downs of her mood made Yiyi almost collapse to the ground.

But she really didn't understand what Lu Ye had done and why he suddenly became like this. In her perception, Lu Ye was clearly only an empty shell left here, but her soul didn't know where it went.
