YM778.TV Chapter 38 Going Out
Now that the 9th orifice had been formed, Lu Ye found that even if he did not deliberately try to sense it, as long as he slightly focused his attention, he could clearly feel the nature\'s spiritual energy around him.
This was undoubtedly a huge progress.
Did this mean he could cultivate by ingesting and exhaling Spiritual Energy? Thinking this, an excitement surged in his heart. If this were truly possible, his future cultivation would definitely proceed much more smoothly.
He attempted it immediately.
One hour later, Lu Ye grimaced and stopped his cultivation attempt.
The situation was the same as before: for some unknown reason, it was very difficult for his body to channel the nature\'s spiritual energy inside. Judging by the rate of this cultivation method, it would be impossible to fill the 10th orifice to its full state in less than a year and a half.
It seemed that the result of the talent test he got earlier, being Yiye, was not without reason.
However, by this time, Lu Ye also had some insight: the method of a cultivator ingesting and exhaling Spiritual Energy for cultivation did not mean literally using the mouth to breathe in and out, but rather using the body to do so.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
In that state of cultivation, every single one of the millions of pores on a cultivator\'s body was performing a miraculous type of breathing, absorbing nature\'s spiritual energy into the body and converting it into the cultivator\'s spirit force!
Yet he really couldn\'t use this method of cultivation.
Standing up, Lu Ye felt it was time to go out and take a look around.
More than a month ago, he was sent into the Spirit Stream battlefield by the sect master. Fortunately, he ended up in this jungle. He hadn\'t encountered any enemies too powerful to handle during this time, and the troubles caused by Yiyi and the big tiger were severely dealt with by him.
But one can\'t be lucky forever.
If he kept hiding here, he would eventually meet cultivators so strong that he would have no power to resist.
In over a month, he had grown from a cultivator with the 3rd orifice to now being in the Spirit Stream Level 1, having opened the 10th orifice, a tremendous growth.
Undeniably, his level of cultivation was still very low, but with the Spirit Talismans given by the sect master, he at least had some means to protect himself.
As for where to go... he needed to find that big tiger and that young girl; he had heard some interesting news from the girl earlier.
Hastily, two days later, Lu Ye found the snow-white big tiger, sprawled on the ground and sleeping soundly in a cave; but as he just walked in, a semi-transparent shadow drifted out from the tiger\'s body, looking at Lu Ye warily, "What are you here for?"
It was the minion spirit who called herself Yiyi. When she left that day, she appeared extremely weak. Nearly ten days had passed, and her body was still semi-transparent and unable to condense into a solid form, indicating that her previous injuries were indeed not light.
As soon as there was a disturbance, the sleeping big tiger immediately woke up, stood up, and growled at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye did not walk further inside, to avoid provoking the spirit and the tiger, especially since with Heaven\'s Augury oath in place, he couldn\'t do much to this pair.
"Don\'t panic, I\'m just here to ask some questions," Lu Ye said.
"What do you want to ask?" Yiyi looked at him.
"You mentioned something about Qingyun Marketplace earlier. Could you tell me more about it?"
"You want to go to Qingyun Marketplace?"
"Exactly!"
Since the path of ingesting and exhaling Spiritual Energy was not viable for Lu Ye, and Essence Refinment-Qi Conversion was not a long-term solution, nearly all the beasts nearby had been killed by Lu Ye. Cultivating through elixir pills was the true source of joy. Qingyun Marketplace sounded like a trading place for cultivators.
Lu Ye was planning to go there to see if he could get some elixir pills to consume.
At the very least, he could broaden his horizons. Since he entered the cultivation world, he had always been working in isolation, which wasn\'t a good thing.
"I see..." Yiyi tilted her head and thought for a moment before sticking out her tongue playfully, "I\'m not going to tell you. If you want to know, find out on your own!"
Having been so aggrieved by Lu Ye before, why would Yiyi cooperate with him now? Given the restraint of Heaven\'s Augury, as long as she and the big tiger did not provoke or harm Lu Ye, he could not harm them. What was there to fear?
Lu Ye stared at her for a moment, then turned and walked away.
"Eh?" This caught Yiyi by surprise. She hadn\'t expected Lu Ye to leave so cleanly and decisively. After hesitating for a moment, her form flickered, and she floated to Lu Ye\'s side, beginning to speak, "However, if you beg me, maybe if I\'m in a good mood, I might tell you."
Lu Ye glanced at her, sensing her unpleasant character.
"Hurry up and beg me, if you don\'t beg me, I won\'t tell you. Otherwise..." Yiyi fluttered in front of him, gleeful as a little butterfly, "Just say you were wrong, and I\'ll forgive you!"
Lu Ye stopped, and reached into his storage sack to draw the longsword, slowly unsheathing it.
"What are you doing?" Yiyi was frightened, her complexion turning pale, and she quickly hid behind the big tiger that also crouched low, ready to roar.
"I told you I\'m bound by Heaven\'s Augury oath, so don\'t mess around, or you\'ll surely meet a dire fate!" Yiyi peeked out from behind the big tiger, seriously warning him.
Lu Ye ignored her, just pointed his sword toward the Void, spirit force flowing into the blade causing shining streamers to flicker, while murmuring softly, "I\'ve decided!"
"Decided what?" Yiyi was completely confused.
"From today, I\'ll kill ten beasts every day, until there are no more beasts left in this area!" Lu Ye declared resoundingly. After saying this, he touched his stomach, "I\'m hungry!"
With a "clang!" the longsword sheathed, Lu Ye strode forward.
Yiyi, slightly taken aback, then had a bitter expression appear on her face while the big tiger turned its head to look at her, humanely rolling its eyes.
"Cultivator Brother, please wait!" Yiyi yelled, chasing after Lu Ye.
One incense stick\'s time later, under a large tree, Lu Ye looked at the scribbled markings on the ground, as Yiyi pointed out the directions in front of him, "Here is Qingyun Mountain, the marketplace at the foothold is Qingyun Marketplace. Our location is here.
If you walk from here towards the east side, you\'ll pass a small river after twenty miles, then ten miles further there\'ll be a rocky forest. Continue for another twenty or thirty miles and you\'ll reach Qingyun Marketplace."
Lu Ye furrowed his brows into a frown, impatiently saying, "Just directly point me in the direction I should head, don\'t mention east or west."
"Over here!" Yiyi decisively pointed in a direction.
