This is not because Lu Ye is blindly confident, thinking that he can kill enemies a few levels better. From Qingyun Mountain, Lu Ye killed many monks who were higher than him along the way. During the Longquan Association alone, he died under his sword.
There are five or six of them in the fifth level.
The two spiritual patterns of Yushou and Fengrui can greatly improve his attack power and defense power, and even out the cultivation gap with his enemies.
Therefore, it is no problem for Lu Ye to kill enemies beyond one level.
Although he didn’t know what happened to Dong Shuye, Lu Ye discovered something interesting during this fight. Dong Shuye was only at the sixth level!
Compared to the time when he was chasing him two months ago, his strength had dropped significantly. If he was facing Dong Shuye from two months ago during the day, Lu Ye felt that even if he had grown, he would still be no match.
A monk's cultivation level cannot fall for no reason. Lu Ye secretly wondered if this guy's spiritual aperture had been broken.
The division of cultivation level of Lingxi Realm monks is simple and clear. The number of small circulatory systems in the body is the level of cultivation. However, if a spiritual orifice is broken, it will naturally be difficult for one of the small circulatory systems to be formed.
The spiritual aperture of the system does not greatly improve the monks. At most, it only increases the monks' spiritual power reserves.
Was it done by Xuanmen?
It was difficult for Lu Ye to explore Dong Shuye's recent experiences, but the destruction of his spiritual aperture must be related to Xuanmen's attack on the Jiuxing Sect's headquarters. The root cause of this matter still lies with him. He finally understood why Dong Shuye was so unsympathetic to him.
.
It would be difficult for anyone to let go of this kind of thing, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the relationship between them is a life-and-death relationship.
It's a good thing for him. Dong Shuye, who is at the seventh level, Lu Ye has no idea.
But if the opponent is only at the sixth level... he may not be unable to fight.
The premise is that he wants to advance to the fifth level.
Fifty-four spiritual apertures are now open, which is still nine away from the sixty-three apertures at the fifth level. If you practice wholeheartedly, it will only take less than twenty days!
But it is not easy to implement this plan in the wild. Once Dong Shuye comes after him, he has to escape. Now that the opponent has no burden, the pursuit speed is very fast. If Amber does not have the blessing of the Wind Talisman, he may not be able to escape.
he.
So he needs a stable place to practice.
With a plan in mind, Lu Ye took out the ten-point map to investigate and found a suitable place.
Swallow the elixir and hit the fifty-fifth orifice.
In the middle of the night, Dong Shuye came to kill him again. Lu Ye had no choice but to continue his escape on Amber. Fortunately, Dong Shuye's recovery time was not long and his speed was not very fast, which gave Lu Ye room to continue his escape.
After chasing and escaping like this, he had to stop and repair from time to time. Two days later, in a small market, Lu Ye rushed into the Tianji Merchant Alliance riding on Amber. He almost came in with his front foot, and Dong Shuye chased him with his back foot.
Many monks in the main hall looked sideways and were secretly frightened. The main reason was that Dong Shuye was too murderous and his eyes were all red.
A steward with only a third-level cultivation level came over and said tremblingly: "Fighting is prohibited in the Merchant Alliance. If you two have any grudges, please go out and resolve them."
"Accommodation!" Lu Ye said.
"Uh..." The manager was a little confused at what to do.
Dong Shuye looked at the steward fiercely, as if if you dare to agree, you will never see the sun tomorrow.
The steward became even more frightened.
At this moment, a powerful wave of spiritual energy appeared, and an old man in his sixties walked slowly down the stairs with a cane, coughing lightly from time to time.
The old man was hunched over and looked like he might die on the spot at any time, but the aura on his body was even more powerful than when Dong Shuye was in his prime.
This is at least a monk at the eighth level of Lingxi!
Seeing this old man, Lu Ye felt certain.
He has done business with the Tianji Merchant Alliance many times and knows the powerful heritage of this Merchant Alliance. What makes him most concerned is that the name of this Merchant Alliance can be named after the word "Tianji", which is very intriguing.
The maids and stewards who receive guests and do business with people in the business alliance are indeed not of high cultivation. At least Lu Ye has not seen any monks with very high cultivation level, but he has always felt that there must be strong people in charge of the business alliance.
Otherwise, how could we keep so many valuable goods? There is no shortage of bold people in the world who like to take risks.
Just as every sect's headquarters needs strong people to guard it, the Merchant Alliance needs strong people even more.
This is the reason why he chose the Tianji Merchant Alliance as his target. The Merchant Alliance is a place where business is done. As long as he can rush in here, it will be safe for the time being. The Merchant Alliance will not allow fighting to happen.
Facts have proved that his guess was correct. There are indeed powerful people in the merchant alliance, but they don't show up easily at ordinary times.
Dong Shuye rushed in after chasing Lu Ye. The ordinary stewards could no longer control the situation, so the strong men here naturally stepped forward.
Looking at the old man walking towards him, Uncle Dong's eyes were full of fear. He knew more than Lu Ye, a stupid young man, and knew what kind of behemoth the Tianji Merchant Alliance was. If he had not had any scruples, he would have rushed in just now.
He had already taken action, how could he just glare at Lu Ye with his eyes?
"Two little friends, peace is the most important thing in everything." The old man walked tremblingly and spoke with a smile, his face full of kindness.
He stood not far in front of Lu Ye and Dong Shuye, and lightly tapped the ground with the crutch in his hand. A little spiritual light centered on the crutch's landing and suddenly spread in all directions.
Lu Ye's eyes twitched. He realized that he had underestimated this old man. He was probably at Tang Wu's level.
The effect of this demonstration was extremely obvious. Dong Shuye quickly stopped his murderous intent and clasped his fists at the old man: "I'm sorry for bothering you so much." He gave up quickly.
Lu Ye watched with amusement.
"Where is this little friend?" The old man looked at Lu Ye.
"I'll stay here!"
"The visitor is a guest!" The old man had a smile on his face, but Dong Shuye looked ugly.
The old man rushed to the steward on the side and said: "Take this little friend to check in for accommodation. The accommodation fee is ten spiritual stones per night!"
"Wait!" Lu Ye frowned, "Ten spirit stones every night?"
He didn't know if he heard it wrong or if the old man said it wrong.
The old man still smiled: "Ten spiritual stones."
"Other business alliances only require one spiritual stone for one night!" Lu Ye felt that he was being targeted. Now it was Dong Shuye's turn to feel happy on the sidelines.
The smile on the old man's face gradually faded, and his voice gradually became louder: "Although everyone who comes here is a guest, the Merchant Alliance is just a place for business, not a refuge. Anyone who dares to take advantage of the Merchant Alliance will have to pay a price.
!" He looked at Lu Ye coldly: "So, little friend, do you understand?"
You are right. This old man is not related to Lu Ye, so he will not do anything to help him. He came out to intimidate Dong Shuye, and at the same time, he also wanted Lu Ye to retreat. If the merchant alliance had not been neutral and would not participate in the two camps,
In the face of confrontation, he was afraid that he would have to fight them both out personally.
"I understand." Lu Ye didn't care about this. Having a stable cultivation environment is the most important thing at the moment. He took out a storage bag and tossed it to the steward: "Stay here for ten days first."
The old man was astonished, and Dong Shuye was also astonished.
It's just a hundred spiritual stones. This doesn't look like the handiwork of a fourth-level monk.
The steward held the storage bag and looked at the old man.
The old man's smile appeared on his face again: "Find the biggest and best room for this guest."
"Yes!" the steward responded, extending his hand to signal: "This way, guests, please."
Lu Ye took Amber and went upstairs with the steward.
The old man looked at Dong Shuye again: "What about you, my little friend? You also need accommodation?"
"Ten spiritual stones a night?" Dong Shuye asked.
"That's natural. The Merchant Alliance treats all customers equally."
"Then we can't live anymore!" Uncle Dong said in his heart that I'm not mentally ill. Who can stay in a room worth ten spiritual stones a night? Now that he has blocked Lu Ye here, he doesn't have to worry about him escaping. After a moment of silence, he simply
After walking out of the Merchant Alliance, he came to a shop opposite the Merchant Alliance. He stood there, staring at the door of the Merchant Alliance, took out two spiritual stones, held them in his hands, and slowly recovered.
He didn't believe that Lu Ye could hold on with ten spiritual stones a night!
The room was very large, larger than any guest room Lu Ye had stayed in before. The layout of the room also gave people a warm feeling. What surprised Lu Ye even more was that the aura of heaven and earth in this room was stronger than the outside world.
Be a little richer.
He secretly guessed that there should be something like a spirit gathering circle arranged here, which would facilitate his practice.
And there is a bathing area in this room, which is very beautiful.
After running all the way, exhausted both physically and mentally, Lu Ye and Hu Hue had a full meal first, then washed themselves clean, and then began to practice.
He wanted to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. The consumption of ten spiritual stones in one night was too much, even if he had a small amount of wealth now, he couldn't afford it.
Lu Ye immediately felt something different after all his spiritual apertures were blessed with the Spirit Gathering Pattern. Because the spiritual energy in the room was rich, his practice became more efficient after the Spirit Gathering Pattern was blessed.
Practicing almost non-stop, the spiritual orifices in the body are opened one after another.
I was really tired, so I took a short nap. After sitting for too long, my energy and blood became stagnant, so I got up and practiced sword practice to stretch my muscles and bones.
Although Lu Ye has been practicing hard since entering the Lingxi battlefield, he has never been as eager to quickly improve his strength as this time.
It has nothing to do with Dong Shuye, the main reason is that one more night here is the cost of ten spiritual stones. Time is literally money!
On Lu Ye's fourth night of staying at the Merchant Alliance, in the room on the fifth floor, a slim steward was reporting to the old man the recent earnings of the Merchant Alliance. The old man felt drowsy after listening to it.
The steward was not surprised, and after finishing speaking, he said, "There is one more thing I want to report to you, sir."
"speak!"
"Recently, the cost of spiritual stones on the Spirit Gathering Formation has increased much more than before. It seems that almost three or four more spiritual stones have been consumed every day."
The old man finally opened his eyes: "What went wrong?"
