"Wu De, the sect has made arrangents for you!"
The one who ca was the sect steward, Zhang Xiong, who said coldly.
"After deliberation, the sect has decided to send you to the Black Stone Wilderness to open up new land. You are to depart imdiately, without delay."
Upon hearing this, Wu De was struck as if by lightning.
Opening new land in the Black Stone Wilderness?!
Opening new land has always been an extrely dangerous task!
The wilderness is filled with countless unknowns, and a mont’s carelessness could lead to the fall of even those in the Postnatal or Innate realms. This isn’t uncommon.
Not to ntion he’s just a small Ninth Layer Condensing Origin stage?
"Steward Zhang, why is this?" Wu De was extrely shocked and hurriedly asked.
"You ask , but who do I ask?" Zhang Xiong replied indifferently, "This is a direct order from the sect."
Looking at Wu De, who had flattered him quite a bit in the past, Zhang Xiong hesitated for a mont and said in a low voice, "I’ve heard that this order ca directly from the Sect Leader, perhaps... it’s related to sothing you said after drinking."
Even after Zhang Xiong left, Wu De had not co to his senses.
At this ti, Liu Yun quickly distanced herself from Wu De.
Wu De was not Liu Yun’s type; her connection to him was only due to his status as an Inner Sect Disciple.
In the future, during her Inner Sect assessnt, she would have soone to help her out.
But now...
Going to the Black Stone Wilderness... it’s uncertain if anyone will return.
Who would be foolish enough to stake their future on Wu De?
Looking at Liu Yun, who suddenly turned cold, Wu De was stunned.
"Junior Sister Yun, wait for to return, and I’ll definitely help you with the Inner Sect assessnt."
Liu Yun replied coldly, "No need, Brother Wu should take care of himself first."
"I have sothing else to do, so I’ll be going now."
Upon saying that, Liu Yun turned and left without any hesitation.
Since this investnt was wasted, she needed to quickly find the next one.
"Liu Yun, you..."
By this point, how could Wu De not understand that Liu Yun was clearly dumping him!
Thinking of the reminder from Steward Zhang, Wu De’s eyes turned red. That damn servant was still causing him trouble even now!
...
The journey back was long, but with enough silver on him, Lu Ye directly hired a carriage to Cloud Leaf City.
Lu Ye was completely unaware of the storm at the Red Cloud Sect.
He didn’t know that he was inexplicably resented by soone at the Ninth Layer of Condensing Origin.
Of course, even if he knew, Lu Ye wouldn’t care.
Ninth Layer of Condensing Origin... it’s uncertain if he could withstand even a single Fine Rain Sword Technique.
At this mont, looking at the storage ring borrowed from Chen Lingxiang, with nearly three thousand silver taels, Lu Ye had never felt so wealthy.
The voice in his heart chanting "recharge" grew louder.
In an instant, a thousand silver taels were devoured by the Myriad Dao Pavilion.
Seeing a third of the silver disappearing from the storage ring, Lu Ye felt a faint emptiness after spending so lavishly.
Glancing at Jiang Lingyue beside him, Lu Ye sat in the carriage and directly chose the designated energy extraction.
Monts later, a prompt arrived as expected...
[Congratulations, Host! You’ve acquired the "Rapid Healing" physique! Fusion can be chosen at any ti!]
Rapid Healing?
Lu Ye was taken aback, then received information about this physique.
After reading it, he was sowhat amazed.
According to the physique description, possessing such a physique ans that no matter how serious the injury, as long as one has a single breath left...
One can heal at a speed beyond ordinary imagination!
Simply put, as long as you’re not killed on the spot... it’s akin to immortality.
Situations where one falls due to severe injuries and becos incurable will simply never occur.
"Not bad! This physique indirectly enhances my combat power."
The vast majority of Martial Arts Cultivators would avoid injury as much as possible, and many strategies involving trading injuries are utterly dismissed.
Now for Lu Ye, he doesn’t need to worry about injuries at all!
Where others hesitate to trade injuries, he can; where others dare not, he still dares!
Beside him, Jiang Lingyue was puzzled to see Lu Ye suddenly wear a mysterious smile.
Sitting comfortably in a carriage, why would brother-in-law suddenly smile?
Could it be that after the exhaustion of that night battle, passing out... his brain had suffered so problem?
Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue couldn’t help showing a trace of concern.
Brother-in-law was not well regarded in the Jiang Family. If he has brain issues now, wouldn’t he be even more disregarded?
...
The journey back was smooth sailing.
Originally, apart from the largest bandit nest in Chaotic Wind Mountain, there were several other bandit groups around within several thousand miles.
But because Chaotic Wind Mountain was secretly wiped out in one night...
The other bandits were in fear and didn’t dare show up, afraid they’d be wiped out next.
Back in Cloud Leaf City, Lu Ye was about to settle accounts, but didn’t expect Jiang Lingyue to stop him.
"Brother-in-law, let do it."
In her view, Lu Ye had earned a hundred taels of silver with difficulty by escorting, and he didn’t have much spare money on him.
This carriage trip of over a thousand miles would cost more than ten taels of silver.
Seeing Jiang Lingyue rush to pay, Lu Ye smiled faintly and said nothing more.
"Finally ho. These days in the carriage were quite boring." Jiang Lingyue, looking at the familiar Jiang Mansion, leisurely walked in.
Courtyard in Zone C of the Outer Court.
After parting with Jiang Lingyue, Lu Ye stepped into the courtyard.
Qing Yu, who was cleaning, looked up, filled with joy.
"Master, you’ve returned?!"
She quickly put down the broom and rushed to Lu Ye, scanning him up and down with so nervousness.
"I heard that during the last escort, you encountered robbers—are you...are you injured, Master?"
Lu Ye shook his head, "Everything is fine, you don’t need to worry."
"That’s good." Qing Yu patted her chest in relief.
The convoy had returned to Cloud Leaf City a few days ago, and tales of that dangerous night robbery had spread among many people.
It even involved the presence of three Innates later on, which fascinated countless people.
Cultivating in the gap of the air, Innate True Qi that could crush everything... everyone yearns for such an Innate Realm!
Qing Yu, upon hearing the news, didn’t yearn for Innate but worried about Lu Ye, who passed out from exhaustion after fighting the robbers.
So, she had been a bit anxious these days.
Seeing Lu Ye return without any major issues, she finally relaxed.
Wanting to test the effect of the Rapid Healing physique, Lu Ye went to his room and closed the door.
Then, with Inner Qi like a knife, he easily cut a small slit on his finger.
The next mont...
Just as blood started to flow, the wound rapidly healed and scabbed!
Seconds later, the scab fell off, leaving a faint white mark where the wound had been.
"Such terrifying healing speed!"
This truly fit a joke from his previous life—if you go to the hospital later, the wound might have healed already.
Inner courtyard of the Jiang Mansion.
"Sister, I’m back." Jiang Lingyue ran into a small courtyard, smiling brightly.
Jiang Qingge stepped out, showing a trace of concern in her eyes, "Were you hurt?"
