After getting a Battlefield Imprint of Thousand Demon Ridge, Lu Ye didn’t become part of the opposing side. He scurried to the first stone platform and placed his hand on the light screen.

 

He had spent too much time in the Hall of Battle Points, and he didn’t want to keep looking anymore. All these treasures were tempting for him to purchase. However, his most pressing task at hand was to improve his cultivation as fast as he could.

 

Even if he bought those treasures, they wouldn’t become part of his heritage; they were merely external help. He certainly knew what to prioritise.

 

Soon, he acquired a Golden Amulet, and 14,580 battle points had been deducted from him. After he obtained the Golden Amulet, another one appeared on the stone platform.

 

It was just as he had expected. Naturally, there wouldn’t be only one Golden Amulet in the Hall of Battle Points, but he couldn’t buy many of them at once, so he could only get them one by one. Although it was troublesome, he was fine with it.

 

He repeated the same process for 18 times and realised he couldn’t purchase more. He took a look at his battle points and found out that he only had 3,232 points left, which wasn’t a lot.

 

Around 280,000 battle points were used up in a short time, which made him dejected. Regardless of how many battle points he had, they were never enough.

 

He was only a Cloud River Realm Master now. When he ascended to the Real Lake Realm or even the Divine Ocean Realm, he would need even more battle points.

 

After keeping the 18 Golden Amulets, he stepped out of the Hall of Battle Points.

 

“I didn’t expect you to be able to resist the temptations,” said the Flood Dragon on the left side of the door after it was opened. “You’re not bad, brat.”

 

They had been protecting the Hall of Battle Points for a long time, so they had seen many geniuses of different generations. Those geniuses, when they were young, were usually unable to resist the temptations in the Hall of Battle Points. More often than not, they would trade for things that looked exquisite but weren’t so useful to them at the moment.

 

On the other hand, Lu Ye had only traded for two things. He was stronger than many of his Seniors when it came to his resistance against temptations.

 

“Thanks for your compliment, Senior. I believe one’s own power is the foundation of everything.” Although Lu Ye knew nothing about these two Flood Dragons, he understood that they were formidable. As such, he was careful when talking to them.

 

However, judging from what the Flood Dragon had said, he believed he had made the right decision.

 

“Alright,” replied the Flood Dragon on the left, then it stopped talking. The two Flood Dragons then rotated their bodies, after which the door closed with a thud.

 

Lu Ye saluted them, ready to leave. As a thought flashed across his mind, his soul left the space.

 

Be it the Vault of Providence or the Hall of Battle Points, Lu Ye didn’t fully sink his soul into any of those places. He would keep a bit of his soul outside so that he could detect any potential danger.

 

The cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge were determined to kill him, so many of his enemies had come into the Divine Trade Association. Some powerful cultivators were responsible for protecting the Association, and they would make sure anyone who dared make a scene would go to Hell. Nevertheless, no one knew if there were people who were reckless enough to go to Hell with him for the money.

 

If Lu Ye fully plunged his soul into the Vault of Providence, and his enemies seized the chance to make a move, he wouldn’t be able to fend them off.

 

He had also expected how the cultivators, who lined up behind him, would react. Many of them had run out of patience. He had indeed spent too much time in the Hall of Battle Points.

 

When there was a chance in the future, he would visit the Hall of Battle Points again in Ameliorate Arcane Glade or Crimson Blood Sect. It was inappropriate to do that in the Divine Trade Association.

 

He ignored these cultivators and left the place. Soon, he arrived at his room on the third floor.

 

Hua Ci and Yi Yi remained seated on the bed as they held hands and chatted with each other. They looked like a gentle older Sister and a mischievous younger Sister. Lu Ye had no idea what they were talking about, but when he pushed the door open, he heard Yi Yi laughing.

 

Noticing the man’s presence, Hua Ci turned to look at him. “You’re back.”

 

She appeared calm as if she had forgotten about what had happened.

 

Lu Ye hummed in response and asked, “You two look happy. What are you talking about?”

 

Hua Ci brushed him off. “It’s none of your business. We’re talking about ladies’ affairs.”

 

Lu Ye shot her a dismissive look and decided to ask Yi Yi later. There were no secrets between them, and Yi Yi would never hide anything from him.

 

“Aren’t we going back to Jiu Zhou?” Hua Ci asked. Considering their situation, she reckoned that they would only be safe by returning to Jiu Zhou.

 

Although she had been staying in the room and didn’t know what was going on outside, she understood that since Lu Ye’s whereabouts had been exposed, those of Thousand Demon Ridge wouldn’t let him off.

 

Therefore, without a need to step outside, she knew that many of Lu Ye’s enemies had come into the Divine Trade Association.

 

Furthermore, she had activated a Secret Technique to poison hundreds of their enemies. If they wanted to dispel the poison, they had to seek the help of Medical Cultivators. There was no doubt the Divine Trade Association would be the best choice.

 

Nevertheless, Lu Ye didn’t look like he was going back to Jiu Zhou anytime soon.

 

“Why should we go back?” Lu Ye replied and took the Storage Bag from Amber’s neck before stuffing the Mutant Cores he had purchased from the Vault of Providence into the bag. The tiger was evidently elated.

 

During their one-month-and-a-half stay in Soaring Dragon Boundary, Amber had been cautious with the consumption of its food. The tiger was worried that if it finished the Mutant Cores quickly, there was nowhere they could restock. Now that Lu Ye had purchased some Mutant Cores, the tiger could finally feast on its food.

 

“You’ll make the call.” Hua Ci was fine with anything.

 

“It’s for you.” Lu Ye tossed another Storage Bag at the woman.

 

“What’s inside?” Hua Ci took it and had a look. There were many Mutant Cores inside, but unlike those meant for Amber, the Mutant Cores were either purple or green, so they were apparently poisonous.

 

“It’s a token of love.” Lu Ye spouted nonsense. He must have been affected by Hua Ci, so he was now not so serious in front of her.

 

A nonchalant Hua Ci kept the Storage Bag and replied bashfully, “You have to marry me sooner, then.” Her crescent eyes showed that she was in a wonderful mood.

 

It was apparent that Lu Ye didn’t purchase these poisonous Mutant Cores all at once; he must have been collecting them whenever he came across them. It felt great that she had a special place in someone’s heart.

 

“If you wish, we can get married tonight.” Certainly, Lu Ye couldn’t appear weak.

 

“I’m worried you don’t have the guts to do it.” Hua Ci fought back.

 

“I don’t have the guts?” Lu Ye snorted. He was a man who cultivated Tyrant Blade Technique, and his Saber Intent was domineering and ferocious. There was nothing in the world he didn’t have the audacity to do. He waved his hand and called out, “Yi Yi!”

 

Yi Yi, who had been watching a good show, hurriedly replied, “Yes.”

 

“Take Amber somewhere else!”

 

“Oh, okay!” Yi Yi came to her senses and picked up Amber, who was counting how many Mutant Cores there were in the Storage Bag. Before she could leave, Hua Ci took her arm.

 

She certainly couldn’t let Yi Yi go. She was fully aware of Lu Ye’s temperament, so he wouldn’t do anything brusque to her. However, if she pushed him over the edge, she had no doubt the man would spank her again.

 

The pain in her bottom still hadn’t subsided, so she didn’t want to have another taste of the man’s punishment.

 

A laugh escaped Lu Ye. Like a victorious general, he smugly went somewhere else and took a seat. Hua Ci’s chest heaved in fury.

 

The farce ended just like this.

 

Ignoring the hushed chatter between Hua Ci and Yi Yi, Lu Ye, who was in the corner, fished out the Mystic Flames and Core Flames he had purchased from the Vault of Providence and let the Tree of Glyphs consume them.

 

At the same time, he emptied his mind and cultivated his power. After he stepped out of Soaring Dragon Boundary, he managed to break the siege with Hua Ci’s help, and they ran all the way to the Divine Trade Association.

 

While running away from the enemies, he could feel that his body was slightly different. He also faintly realised something, but he didn’t have time to look into it at that time.

 

He could do that now. As he activated his cultivation technique, the River of Spiritual Power in his body surged, seemingly about to burst.

 

Following that, he had a strange yet familiar feeling.

 

As if being drawn by a mysterious force, World Spiritual Qi streamed into the River of Spiritual Qi in his body from all directions, and as his cultivation technique was running, it turned into his own power.

 

He found it strange because he had never cultivated like this before.

 

A cultivator mainly cultivated in several ways, which were inhaling World Spiritual Qi, consuming Spirit Pills, and refining vitality into Qi.

 

Any cultivator, if he wanted to enhance his cultivation, couldn’t avoid using these three main methods.

 

For a very long time, Lu Ye had mostly relied on consuming Spirit Pills and refining vitality into Qi. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to absorb World Spiritual Qi; it was just that he couldn’t do it.

 

Perhaps his cultivation aptitude was indeed terrible. His body didn’t allow him to do such a thing. It was as if there was a barrier around his body that stopped World Spiritual Qi from coming into him.

 

Therefore, he had devised a clever way by building a Spirit Gathering Funnel and letting the tip penetrate the barrier that blocked him from absorbing World Spiritual Qi. That way, with the funnel’s help, he could let World Spiritual Qi or the energy attracted by an Amulet stream into his Spiritual Points and River of Spiritual Qi.

 

But at this moment, he was indeed absorbing World Spiritual Qi.

 

It was his first time achieving this without relying on the Spirit Gathering Funnel, and much to his surprise, he was pretty efficient at that.

 

He could feel an affinity with the World Spiritual Qi around him. As he inhaled, it scrambled to enter his body and become his capital to grow stronger.

 

Certainly, his body didn’t go through such a transformation on its own. It must have something to do with the World’s Source of Soaring Dragon Boundary!

 

Lu Ye understood that he couldn’t have achieved this without the Soaring Dragon Boundary’s Source.

 

In fact, he already realised that the World’s Source given to him by Ye Liuli didn’t only pull him back from death’s door and strengthen his vitality. There must be other benefits that he wasn’t aware of yet.

 

It wasn’t until this moment that he confirmed the World’s Source of Soaring Dragon Boundary had changed his cultivation aptitude!
