Chapter 659: Immortality

The butcher was stunned, but then he thought about it and said, "Maybe the exchange rate is very low?"

He won't take the blame for this!

The city lord looked unhappy and couldn't say anything more.

Lu Ye's power to exchange soul water with military merit was granted by him through the divine will. Now he had no way to change this result. He could only pray that Lu Ye's military merit was limited and he couldn't exchange too much soul water, otherwise it would really affect the soul pool's foundation.

After a while, below the soul pool, Lu Ye, who was collecting soul water happily, found that the soul gathering funnel in front of him suddenly collapsed in a twist.

He instinctively constructed another soul gathering funnel, but the second funnel had just taken shape, as if an inexplicable force had disrupted it and it didn't work at all.

He reacted a little and hurriedly checked his battlefield mark. He found that in the information recorded in the battlefield mark, his military merit number was only 836 points.

One thousand military merits can collect one drop of soul water, and the remaining 836 points are obviously not enough for one drop.

More than 300,000 military merits, only this little bit is left in such a short time. It would be a lie to say that it doesn't hurt. After all, this is military merit, not meritorious service. But compared with the harvest, the price paid is absolutely worth it.

The water bag is not full, but there are more than 300 drops of soul water in it. Such a huge resource is enough for him and his relatives and friends to improve their souls to an extremely exaggerated level.

The military merits are gone, and it's time to leave.

Lu Ye carefully put away the water bag and urged his strength to fly upwards.

He thought he was at the bottom of the soul pool, but in fact, after only two breaths, he broke through the blockade of the heavy soul fog. The light around him caught his eyes and made him squint.

The next moment, he felt a sharp gaze staring at him.

Looking in the direction of the gaze, Lu Ye saw the mayor of Xianyuan City who he had met last time!

But at this moment, the mayor's expression was a little strange, and he seemed to be gritting his teeth...

He made Lu Ye feel as if he had done something that was infuriating to both humans and gods, and he wanted to beat him up.

Could it be that... he noticed my movements in the soul pool? Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But then he thought, what's there to be afraid of? Those soul waters were exchanged for my war merits, and it was a rule allowed by Tianji! No matter how powerful the city lord is, can he be more powerful than Tianji?

Thinking of this, Lu Ye suddenly showed a look of surprise and looked at a fat figure behind the city lord.

"Senior?"

Almost thinking that he was dazzled, Lu Ye flashed in front of the butcher, looked carefully, and confirmed that the person in front of him was the butcher who should have died.

He was a little confused: "Senior, why are you..."

The butcher smiled and said: "In Xianyuan City, the soul pool is not broken, and we spirits will not die, it's just a short silence."

Lu Ye didn't understand why the butcher could come back to life, but from what he said, it was the soul pool that gave them some special abilities.

No wonder they always say that the soul pool is the foundation of Xianyuan City.

In this way, the various scenes he saw before he fainted were not illusions?

"Then Senior Liu Datong and Senior Yu Qing..."

"They are also alive and are doing some finishing tasks outside. They will be back soon."

Lu Ye let out a long sigh: "That's great!"

The butcher raised his hand and patted Lu Ye on the shoulder, praising: "Boy, you did a good job!" He was referring to the fact that after their team was wiped out, Lu Ye completed the task for them alone. Although he was not perfect, he had done his best.

If not for this, the butcher would not have brought Lu Ye back to the City Lord's Mansion, and even decided to include him in his team, giving him the right to enter the Soul Pool for cultivation.

Of course, Lu Ye didn't know all this for the time being.

"By the way, Senior, your knife." Lu Ye said, and quickly took out the butcher's boning knife from the storage space and handed it back.

The butcher took it and put it into the knife bag on his waist, then bowed to the front and said: "Sir, I'll go and get busy first, I'll leave this kid to you."

An impatient voice sounded: "Go away!"

The butcher pulled Lu Ye aside again and whispered: "I know you have a lot of questions, but there are some things I can't say, and I don't know. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask the city lord. He will definitely tell you what he can tell you. In any case, you are now half a member of Xianyuan City."

Being included in the butcher's team is not just a lip service, so even if Lu Ye is not a cultivator from Xianyuan City, in the eyes of the butcher, he is considered half a member of Xianyuan City.

"Do you need my help?" Lu Ye asked. After returning from the soul pool, Lu Ye felt that he was extremely energetic, and the power of his soul seemed to be stronger than before.

The butcher shook his head and said, "No need. The Zerg siege has come to an end. What's left are some finishing touches. You should leave here as soon as possible. You are a living person. It's no good for you to stay here for too long in Xianyuan City in this state."

Lu Ye nodded: "Yes."

Even if the butcher didn't say this, Lu Ye could feel that he came to Xianyuan City on the basis of projection. If the soul is separated from the body for too long, there will indeed be some hidden dangers.

The butcher patted Lu Ye's shoulder again and left.

Lu Ye watched his back disappear, then turned around and bowed respectfully to the figure in front of him: "Lu Ye has met the Lord of the City!"

A cold snort sounded: "So you can see me?"

The city lord... why is he so evil?

"I just saw Senior Butcher come back from the dead, and I couldn't help but be happy. Please don't blame me, City Lord, for being disrespectful!"

After hearing Lu Ye's explanation, Ji Yuan's expression softened slightly, but when he thought of the soul pool and soul water, his cheeks twitched again: "Boy, the harvest this time is not small!"

More than three hundred drops of soul water!

Since the existence of Xianyuan City, so much soul water has never been lost.

Although there were monks who could take away soul water from Xianyuan City in the past, it was only a drop or two at most. Ji Yuan deliberately placed it somewhere in Xianyuan City for outside monks to find.

And last time, this guy already took away dozens of drops...

Twice before and after, Xianyuan City suffered heavy losses from this boy.

The loss of more than three hundred drops of soul water is enough for Xianyuan City to support two or three wars!

But he couldn't say anything. He was careless last time, and he didn't expect this kid to have such weird abilities. This time, there was a secret at work, so even if he felt heartbroken and was about to bleed, he could only admit that he was unlucky.

Fortunately, although the amount of more than three hundred drops of soul water is quite a lot, it is not enough to affect the foundation of the soul pool.

City Lord... what does this mean?

Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked at him. His words seemed to have meaning.

He should know that he is collecting soul water from the soul pool, right? Thinking that Butcher and the others were not equipped with soul water when they went out to fight, Lu Ye wondered if the city lord in front of him was unable to condense soul water?

By some strange coincidence, Lu Ye took out a jade bottle, handed it to Ji Yuan, and said in a deep voice, "I don't have much either."

Ji Yuan looked at the jade bottle, and when he realized his reaction, he immediately laughed angrily: "Boy, who do you think the Lord of this city is?"

The jade bottle was clearly the first one that Lu Ye filled when he collected the soul water. Later, he realized that the soul water was condensing too fast, so he used a water bag instead.

Lu Ye quickly took back the jade bottle, took a long breath, and didn't pull it down. A bottle of soul-cleansing water still has a lot of weight, and said: "This junior misunderstood, I thought..."

"What do you think? Do you think if you steal the stolen goods, you will get half of it when you meet?"

Don’t even think about it!

The thought in his mind changed, and Lu Ye said seriously: "The Lord of the City is wrong. That is not some stolen property. I got it in exchange for my military exploits."

Ji Yuan waved his hand feebly: "Whatever you say, if you can take it, it's yours."

"Thank you City Lord!" Lu Ye relaxed immediately.

"But boy...how many military exploits did you get this time?" Ji Yuan was still curious about this.

Lu Ye then reported a number.

Ji Yuan's eyes twitched when he heard this, recalling the way the butcher swore that Lu Ye only had tens of thousands of military merits. Bullshit, tens of thousands of military merits, that's more than three hundred thousand!

He even suspected that the butcher did it on purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have run so fast.

But there is no point in worrying about this at this time. The thing is already in Lu Ye's hands, and he can't be asked to spit it out, especially since the soul water was indeed exchanged by Lu Ye for his military exploits.

After many thoughts went through his mind, Ji Yuan laughed.

Lu Ye noticed that the atmosphere had relaxed a lot, so he said, "Why are you laughing, sir?"

Ji Yuan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't communicated with someone like this for a long time." The topic changed, "Boy, you grow up very fast."

The last time I saw Lu Ye, he was only at the eighth level of Lingxi, and now he has reached the level of True Lake. This growth rate is simply shocking.

Over the past thousands of years, many monks from Kyushu have entered Xianyuan City, many of whom are extremely talented. Although Ji Yuan doesn't know how fast those people grow, he imagines that they will never be faster than the kid in front of him.

Lu Ye shook his head and said: "The Lord of the City has misunderstood. The current situation of this junior is a bit special. In fact, this junior is only at the fifth level of Yunhe, but the power of the soul is stronger than the physical body, so after coming here, he showed the foundation of the True Lake Realm."

Ji Yuan suddenly realized: "That's it."

It's normal. Since this is where the soul comes out of the body, it is naturally the power of the soul that is displayed.

But Yunhe's fifth-level realm... his growth rate is not too slow.

"Lord City Lord, I want to ask you something, I wonder if you can help me?"

"Just ask, I will tell you whatever I can tell you."

"What is going on in Xianyuan City? Isn't this a secret realm in the Lingxi battlefield? Why can this junior come here through the fused breath core?"

"Secret Realm..." Ji Yuan murmured softly. He did not answer Lu Ye's question directly, but asked: "In your opinion, what is the secret realm?" (To be continued)
