After investigating, Lu Ye confird that Yiyi was not seriously hard, just in need of so rest. Moreover, Amber's strength had beco much greater than before, so Yiyi's recovery ti wouldn't be too long.
It wasn't until late at night that the group of four returned to the valley.
Lu Ye's tent was still up, and Mhu Ling was waiting; she took care of Yiyi attentively.
However, halfway through her treatnt, Lu Ye had already fallen into a deep sleep.
After several days of moving around and battling continuously, he was truly exhausted.
When he awoke, the sky was already bright. A blanket was laid over him. Lu Ye sat up, looked around with a sowhat blank gaze, and did not see Amber, but he heard Qiao Qiao'er's voice coming from outside the tent, "Here, eat this, it's sothing good, really fragrant. You'll know once you try it. Hey, don't bite if you're not eating, let go of my hand!"
After dressing, Lu Ye walked out to see Amber's massive mouth clamping down on one of Qiao Qiao'er's arms. Qiao Qiao'er's body twisted strangely, as she tried to pull her arm out of the tiger's mouth without using too much force, resulting in a stalemate.
They locked eyes, and Lu Ye frowned, "What are you doing?"
Only then did Amber release her arm and rubbed against Lu Ye.
In Qiao Qiao'er's hands was a piece of bloody beast at, which she held high, "I was just feeding it, and it bit . Yiye, your beast pet is too unreasonable."
Amber imdiately let out a growl.
Lu Ye looked from it to Qiao Qiao'er, his gaze gradually becoming unfriendly, "Don't drug it!"
Qiao Qiao'er wore a bewildered expression, "What drug? What do you an by drug? Who's drugging it?"
Lu Ye had already turned and entered the tent, with Amber following him. Outside the tent, Qiao Qiao'er looked around and, feeling guilty like a thief, tucked the piece of beast at into her storage sack, muttering softly to herself, "So alert?" She wasn't referring to Lu Ye, but to Amber.
She turned away, whistling nonchalantly as she walked off as if nothing had happened.
Sitting on the bed, Amber fetched a storage sack with its mouth and placed it beside Lu Ye's side—it was compensation from Mount Qingyu.
Earnings from the daily battles were promptly delivered by Xie Jin each ti they regrouped for rest. Over the past few days, Song Xie, Qiao Qiao'er, and the others could be said to have made a fortune.
Lu Ye picked up the storage sack and upon checking it, found nearly one hundred and eighty Spirit Stones inside, undoubtedly more generous than the previous day's spoils. However, considering Lu Ye's contribution to the entire battle, it was natural for Mount Qingyu to express its gratitude accordingly.
Including his previous savings, he now had over five hundred and sixty Spirit Stones. This wasn't just a reward for his rits; it also included the spoils from processing the vanquished Tailuo Sect and Qin family cultivators.
Their storage sacks had all been collected by Mount Qingyu, priced at five Spirit Stones each, the sa rate as the Heaven's Augury rcantile Union, in addition to so low-level spirit artifacts. These spoils of war were divided equally among the five mbers of their squad.
He checked his battlefield marking.
Na: Lu Ye
Identity: Righteous Blood Sect Disciple.
Cultivation: 53rd orifice.
Location: Spirit Stream battlefield.
rit: Three hundred and sixty-eight.
When he had arrived here a few days ago, his spiritual orifice had already reached the 52nd orifice. Over the past few days, he had opened another one; mainly because he was constantly in battle, the consumption was too great. The elixir pills he took were all used to replenish his own exhaustion, which slowed the speed of opening orifices.
Compared to his departure from Mount Ying, his rit had greatly increased from one hundred and seventy-four to three hundred and sixty-eight points, nearly doubling. It was evident how many Tailuo Sect cultivators had perished at Lu Ye's hands recently.
However, it was no surprise thinking about it. On his first day breaking into Hundred Peaks Mountain, he had already killed over a dozen n. Later, following Xie Jin's squad's moves, they often completely annihilated the opposing teams, especially in yesterday's final battle, where the fleeing cultivators couldn't escape their hunting team.
The expenditure on elixir pills was significant. These days, to replenish spirit force, as well as to feed Amber, the great pill consur, he had started with over four hundred elixir pills but was now left with just over three hundred.
Although consuming a lot, the gains were undoubtedly greater. Overall, participating in the Dragon Spring et had been very profitable.
After taking inventory of his resources, Lu Ye took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and took Amber to find sothing to eat. Not to ntion anything else, the food provided by Mount Qingyu was very good, and available all day, with no need to wait when you wanted to eat.
On the way, he happened to et Xie Jin. After a conversation, he learned that Mount Qingyu had won a great victory the day before, with Tailuo Sect cultivators retreating from peak after peak, contracting their defenses. Now, in the Hundred Peaks, Mount Qingyu freely held over fifty, an unprecedented achievent.
Moreover, looking at the situation, the Dragon Spring et might very well maintain the status quo until the end because neither Qin family nor Tailuo Sect had enough manpower to capture more peaks after their heavy losses in previous encounters. Maintaining the status quo was the best choice.
Since the Qin family had joined the Dragon Spring et, Mount Qingyu had never seen such a remarkable victory. Xie Jin ntioned that Senior Brother Wu had sent a ssage, praising him greatly.
As Lu Ye stuffed chunks of tender at into his mouth, he said, "So, does this an we won't have to fight anymore?"
"Most likely," Xie Jin nodded. The battle from the previous day had effectively prefaced the end of the Dragon Spring et.
Lu Ye understood. If that was the case, then he needed to consider leaving this place.
```
The Dragon Spring et usually lasts for a month, but this ti it had only begun for a little over ten days, and he certainly couldn't just sit around doing nothing.
Seeming to have sensed Lu Ye's thoughts, Xie Jin glanced around before leaning in and whispering, "Junior Brother Yiye need not to hurry off. Senior Brother Tang Wu said that after the end of the Dragon Spring et, our squad can all enter Dragon Spring."
Lu Ye raised his brows, is there such a good thing?
Xie Jin then smiled and said, "Our victory yesterday was all thanks to Junior Brother turning the tide. Mount Qingyu has always been one to honor our word. If such a significant contribution doesn't earn Junior Brother a spot, then there is no need to recruit any independent cultivators to bolster our ranks in the future!"
This was a case of buying a horse's bones for a thousand gold pieces.
In the jade slip that Xie Jin had handed him earlier, it indeed stated that independent cultivators who made significant contributions to Mount Qingyu could be allocated a spot to enter Dragon Spring.
Lu Ye had also heard Song Xie and Qiao Qiao'er casually ntion this matter before; usually, the spots allocated to outsiders were scarce, with only one or two outsiders getting the chance to enter Dragon Spring with the disciples of Mount Qingyu during each Dragon Spring et. However, this ti there were three.
The spots to enter Dragon Spring were actually very precious. Not only did the disciples of Mount Qingyu need them, but many mid to large sects on good terms with Mount Qingyu also had demands for them.
Their disciples with outstanding aptitude would often co to Mount Qingyu to await the outco as soon as the Dragon Spring et began, though they could not intervene in the Dragon Spring et due to previous contracts.
Thus, the allocation of spots to independent cultivators was extrely rare.
After all, for a low-level cultivator, entering Dragon Spring to temper the physique just once is more beneficial than consuming many heavenly materials and earthly treasures. No matter what path one takes later, having a strong physique is always right.
Xie Jin patted Lu Ye's shoulder, "Junior Brother need not worry, this Dragon Spring et is very likely to end early. After all, the ti of Senior Brother Tang Wu and the others is very precious, and it's not interesting to keep being deadlocked there."
In the Central Peak Hall, in front of the Shadow Moon Disc, Tang Wu crossed his arms in front of his chest and suggested, "It can end now. What do you two think?"
Qin Wanli turned his head to glance at Han Zheyue but did not dare to make a sound.
Han Zheyue coldly snorted, "We're only halfway through, what's the rush?"
She wasn't oblivious to the fact that Tang Wu was speaking the truth. At the mont, Tailuo Sect dared not make any rash moves, and continuing the stand-off was rely wasting ti, but she just didn't want to let Tang Wu have his way. Regardless of what Tang Wu said, she couldn't care less to listen.
Tang Wu indifferently said, "What's the point in wasting ti here?"
Han Zheyue laughed and retorted, "I find it quite interesting!" What did it matter to her; she wasn't the only one wasting ti. This woman was the type to harm others without any benefit to herself.
Tang Wu turned his head to look, "Do you think that by shrinking your defenses like this, Tailuo Sect can rest easy?"
Han Zheyue provocatively said, "Then co and attack, can you even take it down?"
By contracting their line of defense, Tailuo Sect ant that their defensive strength increased. Conversely, for Mount Qingyu, occupying fifty peaks ant that their manpower beca more scattered. Fortunately, they had recruited a significant number of independent cultivators, or else they really couldn't have managed to defend. However, launching another attack would be sowhat difficult.
Han Zheyue was banking on this fact, which is why she was so brazen. It could be said that neither side, including the Qin family, could push any further without reaching their own limits.
Tang Wu turned and stared at Han Zheyue for a while before commands were passed down.
Shortly after, the blue dots on the Shadow Moon Disc started to move.
At the forefront, cultivators from Mount Qingyu who were defending a peak rapidly evacuated. Soon, that peak beca unclaid territory.
At the sa ti, several blue dots scattered from nearby peaks converged at the base of a Tailuo Sect peak, forming a sizeable team. Not only that, from the valleys in the heartland of Mount Qingyu, five blue dots advanced forward at high speed.
Seeing this, Han Zheyue's brow twitched, realizing that Tang Wu had pulled out that hunting team.
Half a day later, the five blue dots that set off from the valley t with Qingyu's cultivators at the forward positions and gathered at the base of the Tailuo Sect's mountain peak, forming a cluster of no less than fifty glimring blue dots.
Her chest heaving, Han Zheyue's face turned unsightly.
Tang Wu turned to look at her without speaking.
Qin Wanli didn't know what kind of tacit ga the two were playing, nor did he understand why Mount Qingyu would give up a peak and then assemble troops at the base of a Tailuo Sect peak.
In the silence, Han Zheyue sighed deeply and reached out to tap her battlefield marking. A ssage was sent.
Quickly, several black dots began to move across from the unclaid peak, rushing to occupy it. However, considering their sluggish pace, it was clear they were quite anxious.
But even after they ascended the peak and took control, there was no attack.
"A wise choice!" Tang Wu's mouth curled up.
As if drained of strength, Han Zheyue spoke up, "This Dragon Spring et ends here for now. What does the Qin family think?"
What else could Qin Wanli think but applaud loudly! It was not until this mont that he slowly realized what had happened.
