Lan instantly saw through Lu Ye's plan. In half an hour, those thugs would come to challenge her again!Oh no!On the clifftop, a man anxiously waited. Although his junior sister possessed a high-grade...As the sky darkened, Liu Quan politely escorted Lu Ye to the door. Most of the cultivators outside were relatively poor, unless they were disciples from major sects.

Therefore, transactions involving dozens of spirit stones at a time are not easy to come by. Moreover, Lu Ye's personality is quite straightforward, and Liu Quan naturally wanted to get closer to him, hoping that he could look after their business next time there was a good deal.

As Liu Quan turned away, watching Lu Ye's figure disappear, a fragrant breeze washed over him. A person stood behind him.

"You scared me!" Liu Quan said angrily, "You're not supposed to be greeting the guests, why are you standing behind me"

That person said in a sweet voice, "I miss you."

Liu Quan nervously glanced around, relieved to see no one paying attention. He then lowered his voice and said, “Let’s meet after work tonight.”

"Well then," the woman replied with a smile.

Liu Quan walked towards the hall as if nothing had happened, greeting other guests. The woman glanced at Lu Ye's departing direction with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

When night fell, they spent some time together intimately. After making love, the two chatted idly. The woman subtly steered the conversation towards the day’s transaction. Liu Quan was tired and responded in a listless manner, before falling asleep with a heavy snore not long after.

The woman lay in his arms, but she found it hard to fall asleep.

To my surprise, in just half a month, he's back selling ore again.

Looking at that customer's appearance, he must be a wandering cultivator, without any backing or support. A wandering cultivator who could gather dozens of spirit stones in such a short period naturally draws some attention.

At the same time, Lu Ye was cultivating in the cave on Qingyun Mountain.

Having enough elixir, he immediately started cultivating by consuming it.

As each and every elixir was consumed, the spiritual energy of the fifteenth aperture gradually became full, and then surged towards the sixteenth aperture.

......

Twelve days later, in the cave, Lu Ye sat cross-legged, his mind still and focused.

Today is a big day. If everything goes smoothly, he will be promoted to the second level of Lingxi Realm today.

Since his return twelve days ago, he had gradually consumed over thirty Unlocking Spirit Pills. He finally opened eighteen竅 (spiritual apertures) and cultivated the power of the eighteenth aperture to its full potential.

Recalling the exercises and path of movement in the Jinshan Xianyao Jue, Lu Ye activated his own spiritual power, starting from the tenth acupoint and flowing through the eleventh, twelfth… until he reached the eighteenth.

When he achieved the first level of the Spirit Stream Realm, he had done this before, so at this moment, he was quite familiar with it and didn't encounter any difficulties.an to deduce new spirit patterns, using the original斂息靈紋 as a foundation.After several more days, when the conch shells were ready to be used, Lu Ye took out his conch and blew into it, opening the ga...
