with swords at their waists, seeming like martial cultivators.Before they got closer, one of the thinner figures shouted, “Which faction do the two Daoist friends belong to We are from the Haotian Al...In the training room, the Gathering Spirit Formation and the three-faced Gathering Spirit Rune were operating simultaneously. Spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured in frantically, filling the entire room with a thick aura of spiritual energy. There were also streaks of blood-like energy, resembling snakes, which, along with the spiritual energy, were drawn into Lu Ye's body by some unseen force.

Not only that, but a rumbling sound like thunder emanated from his belly. That was the gluttonous meal churning within him.

At one moment, Lu Ye opened his eyes and looked down at the back of his hand. The mark from the battlefield was slightly warm, with a hint of heavenly energy surging within it.

Time is up!

He withdrew his power and stood up, retrieved the scales armor he had placed in the gathering spirit formation, and walked out the door.

Without a moment's delay, he arrived at the Tianji Column in the Tianji Hall.

Huaci hasn't arrived yet. Recently, she and her second senior sister have been inseparable, and no one knows what they're busy with. However, both women are medical cultivators, so it's likely that the second senior sister is teaching Huaci some aspects of medical cultivation.

During the waiting period, Lu Ye activated his Battlefield Mark, probing into his own information.

Name: Lu Ye.

Identity: Member of the Bixue Sect.

Cultivation Stage: Eighty-Three Apertures.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Location: Lingxi Battlefield.

Merits: Twenty-six.

More than two months have passed since the Jin Guangding battle. After his injuries healed and he recovered the ability of his talent tree to burn away the Burning Dan poison, Lu Ye's cultivation has been increasing day by day. The day he returned from Lady Yun, he reached 81 acupoints, breaking through to the sixth level of Lingxi realm. Until today, he has opened two more acupoints.

If Lu Ye hadn't killed a seventh-tier cultivator in Yingshan, his current merit points would only be five, not twenty-six.

Before this, Lu Ye had never known what use his merits were for. Now he understood, with a wondrous place like the Heavenly Fortune Treasury existing, merits held immense appeal to any cultivator.

Not to mention, he still needs to spend merit points purchasing fuel suitable for the talent tree from the Heavenly Machine Treasury. It can be foreseen that his need for merit points will be enormous in the future.

It's too slow to accumulate merit just by killing. Unless you can kill enemies across ranks, Lingxi Town is a good place to defend. Each sect uses a basic buff as a bargaining chip. There, as long as you are strong enough, you will definitely get a massive amount of merit.

Even though both Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother, they don't advise him to do this.

Since the aftermath of the Golden Peak battle had just subsided, word spread among those with keen interest that Lu Ye had a white tiger by his side. If he were to bring Amber in, it would be easy for people to recognize him, and if the Wanmo Ridge found out, an attack would be imminent.

Instead of taking that risk, why not just leave it behind At least that way you can keep your identity hidden.

While there were many people who had seen Lu Ye on the top of Jin Guang, the number of cultivators present at the Lingxi battlefield was immense. There were many more who hadn't met him and didn't recognize him.

A figure slowly emerged from the side, wrapped in a refreshing fragrance. Huaci had arrived.

Lü Yè glanced up and down at her, surprised and said, "New clothes, new attitude"

Haca's previous outfit wasn't this one, she clearly just changed. It's a very close-fitting white dress, with small red flowers dotted along the hem. The pure color accentuates Haca's skin, making it even more delicate and flawless.

But Lu Ye quickly realized something was amiss; it seemed more than just a beautiful dress.

"Spirit tool" Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

"This was given to me by my second senior sister. She wore it when her cultivation level was lower, and she doesn't use it anymore."

"Lü Yè was a little sour: "It was I who joined the sect first."

Huo Ci smiled, her lips curving into a gentle smile. "Er Shijie said that as warriors, you are not suited to wearing defensive artifacts. Too much protection will dull your edge."

My mind went blank, and I turned my head. Lu Ye's face had darkened: "What are you doing"

This woman... actually slapped herself in the head!

Hua Ci gave a gentle smile, like an elder sister: "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that this isn't bad at all!"

"No one told you, men's heads can't just be touched, right"

"No" Hua Ci looked at him as if it were obvious. "What consequences could there be from touching"

Li Ye's eyes turned vicious.

Huaci suddenly sat up straight, her face brightening. She raised her hand and pressed it against the mechanism on the ceiling column.

Lu Ye glared at her resentfully, unwillingly putting his hand on top as well.

The heavens are surging with energy, the surrounding scenery distorts and bends, while a faint sound of waves ripples through my ears.

When >> settled down again, the two found themselves in a strange land. They looked at each other and immediately scanned their surroundings with caution.

The next instant, Lu Ye saw two figures in the distance. As Lu Ye saw them, they were also looking this way.

Their eyes met, both wary expressions on their faces as they secretly channeled their spiritual energy.

Lu Ye sized up the two people in front of him, his eyes gleaming. He realized they were both at the seventh level realm, and not only that, the battle marks on their backs shimmered with a faint red light. In contrast, Lu Ye and Hua Ci's battle marks emitted a blue glow.

By the Nine Hells!

"A good start!" One of the two people across from him, a young man in athletic wear, laughed and strode forward. He clearly felt lucky to have run into two Level Six cultivators right off the bat.

Behind him, another cultivator at the Seventh Heaven realm softly reminded, "Don't be careless!"

As they spoke, spiritual energy surged. A beam of golden light shot out from their hand, attacking Lu Ye and Hua Ci. The instant it touched them, the attack commenced.

Hua Ci leaped to the side, while Lu Ye lowered his body and charged forward with a powerful burst of speed.

Then the golden light hit the beach, making a hole.

Originally, the distance between them wasn't that far. With the collision between Lu Ye and the youth, it rapidly closed.

Lu Ye's arrogant attitude undoubtedly angered the young man. He drew his sword and lunged at Lu Ye, ready to teach him a lesson. The blade shone with a spectral light, like a viper spitting venom, this strike was powerful and imposing.
