When all the Golden Amulets were used up several days later, they were finally done with the cultivation session.
Lu Ye examined himself. Naturally, there wasn’t a change to his Realm, but his Spiritual Power had beco more refined, and it was apparent that he was mightier now.
That was the uniqueness of the Real Lake Realm. In this Realm, as long as a cultivator cultivated, his power would increase, though the amount of incrent would vary.
This was unlike the previous two Realms. In the past two Realms, be it the Spirit Creek Realm or the Cloud River Realm, only when a cultivator achieved a breakthrough and made it to the next Minor Realm would his power increase massively.
But it was different in the Real Lake Realm. In this Realm, as a cultivator cultivated, his power would increase continuously and stably.
Lu Ye was initially pleased, but when he opened his eyes, he suddenly leapt to his feet and wrapped his palm around the hilt of the Inviolable Saber. He slightly bent his back, looking like a leopard which was ready to attack as his Spiritual Power surged.
That was because a figure was standing only three tres away from him, but soon, he ca to his senses. The person before his eyes was none other than his higher-up as well as the leader of Blue Fla Mountain Pass, Nian Yuexian.
Astounded, he was instantly soaked in sweat. [Is this how powerful a Divine Ocean Realm Master truly is?]
Before he opened his eyes, he wasn’t even aware of the other party’s presence, nor did he detect her aura. The Wards he had built were not useful at all.
[When did she even co? She must’ve discovered my cultivation thod and Yi Yi’s existence.]
After giving it so thought, he reckoned that his cultivation thod and Yi Yi’s existence weren’t exactly secrets. The forr could be considered a special technique he used to cultivate his power, and there was nothing to be ashad of. Even if he told others about it, they couldn’t imitate it. As for Yi Yi, there was a record of her at the Crimson Blood Sect, so she was a disciple there. If Nian Yuexian had any doubts, she could send an inquiry to the Crimson Blood Sect.
Furthermore, Lu Ye was going to stay here alongside a Divine Ocean Realm Master for a long ti, so his secrets would be exposed sooner or later.
At the thought of this, he set his mind at ease and let go of the hilt before cupping his fists. “Madam!”
Nian Yuexian remarked impassively, “You’re pretty well-versed in the Way of Wards. It’s a nice bamboo house as well.”
“Thanks for the complint, Madam.” Lu Ye thought that even though he was well-versed in the Way of Wards, the woman had still entered the building without him knowing it.
Suddenly, it dawned on Lu Ye that the woman was probably a Ghost Cultivator and that she must be an expert in the Way of Wards.
Naturally, Lu Ye had no idea which faction the woman belonged to, but judging from the evidence he had seen so far, she was most likely a Ghost Cultivator.
A Ghost Cultivator like Ying Wuji was intimidating enough for cultivators in the sa Realm, not to ntion a Ghost Cultivator in the Divine Ocean Realm. It was beyond Lu Ye’s imagination how powerful a Ghost Cultivator like her truly was.
“Is there anything else, Madam?” Lu Ye felt imnsely pressured as the woman looked icily at him.
Without a word, Nian Yuexian disappeared from the building. Lu Ye couldn’t clearly see how she left. He was puzzled as he stood there. “What’s going on?”
[Did the Pass Leader co all the way here just to complint ? That’s not likely to be the case.]
Yi Yi gently pulled Lu Ye’s clothes and said, “Lu Ye, I think she might be interested in this bamboo house.”
Won were undoubtedly more sensitive. While Lu Ye was perplexed by Nian Yuexian’s actions, Yi Yi realised sothing.
“That’s impossible,” Lu Ye refuted. “If she wanted a bamboo house, she could easily build one. There isn’t a need for her to snatch it away from .”
Considering that she was a Divine Ocean Realm Master, she could effortlessly build a three-storey bamboo house.
“You have a point.” Yi Yi nodded, reckoning that she was overthinking things.
However, there were apparently so underlying anings behind Nian Yuexian’s words. It was pointless to keep thinking about it, though. Lu Ye had been cultivating his power for days, so he felt bored.
“Let’s take a walk outside,” Lu Ye said and took Amber and Yi Yi with him.
The mont he pushed the door open, he saw Nian Yuexian seated on a tree branch outside. Her back was against him as she looked into the distance. It was a wonder what was on her mind.
Lu Ye arched his brow, wondering why the woman was still there. Perhaps it was her resting place, and he happened to have built a house here.
He stepped forward and looked up before shouting, “Do you have a task for , Madam?”
Before he joined Bing Zhou Watch, he had imagined having to contend with those from Thousand Demon Ridge at the frontline. Nevertheless, this place was outrageously tranquil.
Only he and Nian Yuexian were in this dilapidated Pass, and it didn’t seem like those from Thousand Demon Ridge were going to attack them.
Nian Yuexian had appointed him to be a first lieutenant in charge of protecting this place, but it wasn’t like he could just stay here and do nothing forever. As a mber of Bing Zhou Watch, he couldn’t take any action without an order. As such, things had been difficult for him.
“Do you want a task?” Nian Yuexian ca to her senses and looked down.
“If there’s any…”
Nian Yuexian nodded and revealed a military token in her hand. Although she didn’t seem to be doing anything, Lu Ye instantly detected sothing. He quickly fished out his military token and had a look inside.
A mont later, he looked up at the woman, feeling speechless.
Tasks in Bing Zhou Watch could be passed on orally or through the military tokens. Nian Yuexian had apparently given him a task through her military token.
The task was simple, which was to get the Pass Leader a residence.
When Lu Ye saw the task, he felt his eyelids twitching, for Yi Yi was right.
[If you wanted it, you could just tell . It’s not like I can read your mind! Moreover, you’re a Divine Ocean Realm Master. Is it so difficult for you to build a bamboo house? Where did you stay before my arrival? I don’t think you’ve been living on the streets!]
After so deliberation, Lu Ye realised it might be possible.
He had looked around the city in Blue Fla Mountain Pass, and there were no traces of anyone living in those buildings. It was apparent that they had been vacant for a long ti, and there were no buildings on nearby Spirit Peaks.
In other words, Nian Yuexian had been staying in Blue Fla Mountain Pass without a permanent residence while guarding this place over the years.
While feeling frustrated, Lu Ye was torn between tears and laughter. “Madam, if you don’t mind it, the bamboo house behind has been newly built…”
Before he even finished his words, Nian Yuexian flew into the third floor of the building and threw out the cushion Lu Ye had left there.
Lu Ye took the cushion and felt his eyelids twitching, for the woman’s action was outrageous. He had never expected the Pass Leader to be this kind of Divine Ocean Realm Master.
However, he soon detected sothing. He quickly looked into his Battle Imprint, and the next mont, all his frustration was gone. That was because there was a change to his record of battle points.
After he purchased Golden Amulets from the Hall of Battle Points previously, he reserved 40,672 battle points for future use. Now, he had 42,672 battle points. In other words, there was an increase of 2,000 battle points.
[That’s incredible!] Lu Ye was shocked.
He knew that he could obtain battle points in Bing Zhou Watch. That was why cultivators were drawn to this organisation. Moreover, there were more ways to acquire battle points here than on the Cloud River Battlefield.
They would get a monthly salary, and besides that, they could kill enemies and carry out tasks to get battle points. Those options were not available on the Cloud River Battlefield.
Lu Ye thought that the tasks must have sothing to do with contending with the enemies, but much to his surprise, giving the Pass Leader a bamboo house could also get him so battle points. That was strange.
It seed that as long as they could complete the tasks assigned to them by higher-ups, regardless of what the tasks were, they could get so battle points. It didn’t even have to have anything to do with fighting enemies from Thousand Demon Ridge.
Although 2,000 battle points weren’t a lot, it wasn’t difficult to build a bamboo house. It was a good deal.
“Madam, the bamboo house is too small to match your status. Do you want to build a bigger residence for you?” Lu Ye asked loudly.
Yi Yi looked at him in shock as though he was a bootlicker. Nian Yuexian didn’t respond to him. Lu Ye let out a sigh, thinking that it was such a sha, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Since he had given the house to the woman, he had no choice but to build a new one. Fortunately, it wasn’t a difficult task.
As for the location, he naturally wouldn’t stay on the sa Spirit Peak as Nian Yuexian. The woman was a Divine Ocean Realm Master, after all. He would feel pressured if he stayed on the sa peak with her.
He found a nearby Spirit Peak and spent so ti constructing a new bamboo house together with Yi Yi.
When he was done with that, he heard so noise coming from the military token. It was apparent that he had received a new task.
He quickly took a look and saw that he was asked to catch so wild animals and cook them this ti.
It was a simple task. There were many wild animals moving around Blue Fla Mountain. So Spirit Beasts could also be seen. Considering that he was a Real Lake Realm Master, he could easily catch them.
He left the peak and soon got what he wanted. With the wild animals in his hands, he arrived at Nian Yuexian’s residence and made a fire in front of the bamboo house.
It wasn’t that he was trying to show off his skills, but the task clearly stated that he had to cook the wild animals right there.
He thoroughly removed the organs and cleaned the flesh. Then, he tossed so at at Amber before roasting the rest on the fire.
Since he had done that many tis before, he was skilful. As for how good his cooking skills were, it could only be said that the food he prepared didn’t taste bad.
An hour later, the aroma of at perated the place. Just as Lu Ye was ready to tear off the best part and send it to Nian Yuexian, the woman abruptly appeared in front of him.
After pondering briefly, Yi Yi quickly rose to her feet and placed her stool behind Nian Yuexian. Then, she said sweetly, “Have a seat, Big Sister.”
Nian Yuexian was surprised by her action, but she elegantly took a seat without a word.
Yi Yi sent a signal to Lu Ye, who hurriedly presented the cooked at. “Food is ready, Madam.”
Nian Yuexian nodded and took the at from him before eating it slowly.
She didn’t give any remarks, but she would eat everything given to her by Lu Ye. She didn’t even spit out the bones. Lu Ye and Yi Yi were astounded.
