Sage of Humanity Chapter 202 200 Overnight Fame

```

In the wilderness, Lu Ye was lying flat on a large rock, with Hua Ci kneeling beside him, gently rubbing his arm. With each movent of her hands, streams of pure wood spirit force flowed into Lu Ye's body, penetrating deeply into muscle tissues, repairing invisible internal injuries.

Li Baxian sat awkwardly to the side, while Feng Yuechan stood not far away on guard, with formations already set up around them.

There was no longer a need to search for treasures; the battle just now had left Lu Ye with no light injuries. He was completely drained, feeling sore and aching all over, and currently lacked even the strength to move a finger.

Lu Ye had known that the Bloodstain Spirit Runes he had acquired would grant him a ans to deal with powerful enemies, but there had been no opportunity to try them until just now.

These spirit runes were indeed remarkable; by devouring Lu Ye's fresh blood, they could enhance his strength. The more blood they consud, the greater the incrent in power.

One could tell from the process of the battle that initially, Lu Ye was no match for the ghost cultivator, whether in the strength of his blows or his speed, and the other party could also control weapons.

But as the Bloodstain Spirit Runes continued to take effect, the gap between them slowly diminished, even allowing Lu Ye to surpass his opponent.

Moreover, Lu Ye felt that the enhancent the Bloodstain provided him had not reached its limit; if he could devour more blood, he could gain an even greater increase in power.

Should he encounter more powerful opponents in the future, as long as he was not instantly killed by the enemy, there would be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

The Bloodstain was powerful enough, but the price was also evident.

Because he had exerted strength beyond his own capabilities, Lu Ye's muscles were damaged at this mont, he had lost too much blood, and the consumption of spirit force by the Bloodstain Spirit Runes was intense. Unlike Sharpness and weapon control, they required constant maintenance.

If Lu Ye hadn't opened more than eighty spiritual orifices recently, increasing his reserves of spirit force, he really wouldn't have had the qualifications to use this spirit rune in battle.

It was a one-off deal, which could also be seen as a trump card: once used, it ant either the enemy died, or he would.

This was also the result of Lu Ye's consistent use of the Scale Armor during cultivation, placing it in the groove of the Spirit Gathering Array to stimulate the blood Qi within the Scale Armor for absorption and refinent, toughening his physique. Otherwise, the damage this ti might have been even more severe.

With Hua Ci's treatnt, Lu Ye gradually recovered so strength, and while enjoying her healing, he took out so dried at to eat.

After that battle, he felt famished enough to eat an entire cow.

With a large quantity of food ingested, Lu Ye's face finally regained so color.

Half a day later, he slowly got up. Although he still felt weak, there was no serious problem. The aftereffects of using the Bloodstain were too significant, and Lu Ye secretly decided that unless it was absolutely necessary, he must not easily resort to using it.

Li Baxian, who was watching him, asked with concern, "How do you feel?"

"Much better, thank you, Senior Brother!" Without Li Baxian's watchful eye, he would not have had the chance to duel such a strong opponent. Having had a taste of victory, he couldn't help wanting Li Baxian to take him to hunt down those isolated Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators.

Such life-and-death battles were greatly beneficial to his growth.

However, even now, with Hua Ci's treatnt, he had not fully recovered and had to suppress the thought in his heart.

"If you're all right, shall I take you to see sothing good?"

"Sure."

The group of four continued on their journey.

After traveling a few dozen miles, Li Baxian's suppressed strength began to slowly return. Although it had not yet reached its peak, flying with weapon control had beco possible.

He threw out his wine gourd, and as spirit force surged around him, the gourd swiftly expanded, and with a light leap, he stood on it.

Feng Yuechan followed closely, and Hua Ci, along with her chanical wolf, also jumped onto it, giving the limp Lu Ye a tug along the way.

"Rise!" Li Baxian commanded, and the gourd took to the sky, swiftly flying toward the front.

With weapon control-flying, the ti it took to travel was significantly reduced, and as they moved further inward, the restrictions on Li Baxian lessened. Within the ti it takes an incense stick to burn, he brought Lu Ye and the others to a place where a crowd had gathered.

Judging by the scale, it seed that all the Haotian Alliance cultivators had congregated here, surrounded by evidence of the remnants of a great battle. Clearly, this place had seen a fierce conflict.

The appearance of the iconic wine gourd Spiritual Artifact drew the attention of many.

Soone pointed at the gourd and said with a smile, "Finally, Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Feng have arrived. The people of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge can lose hope now."

As the gourd landed, many who were ditating and resting got up to greet them.

Li Baxian hopped down from the gourd and looking ahead at a large tree, he asked, "How's the situation?"

A burly physique cultivator responded, "The Ten Thousand Demons Ridge folks were a bit unwilling to give up earlier and organized several strong attacks, but after being taught a lesson several tis, they've cald down. Now that you're here, they probably won't dare to make any rash moves."

Li Baxian nodded slightly, exchanging greetings with so people.

anwhile, many low-level cultivators were also warmly interacting with Lu Ye and Hua Ci. They had been fighting side by side, and many had received Hua Ci's treatnt, naturally feeling a great affinity for this Deputy Governor of the Righteous Blood Sect, not to ntion that Hua Ci was also a graceful beauty.

In the last large-scale conflict with Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, it was Lu Ye and Hua Ci who took the risk of flying above the enemy camp to activate the arrangents they had left behind, securing victory in one fell swoop.

It could be said that the current situation of the Haotian Alliance owes much to the contribution of the two from the Righteous Blood Sect.

"Are these two the Junior Brother Yiye and Junior Sister Hua Ci of the Righteous Blood Sect?" asked the physique cultivator who had been speaking with Li Baxian, suddenly turning his gaze toward Lu Ye.

Li Baxian smiled slightly and patted Lu Ye on the shoulder, "Co and et Brother Mong Si. Mong Si is the Governor of the Righteousness Sect, with a cultivation at the 9th Heaven, ranked eighteenth on the Spirit Stream Ranking."

This ranking was not low. Lu Ye and Hua Ci paid their respects together. As for the Righteousness Sect, Lu Ye had long been familiar with it. It was a 1st grade sect of the Haotian Alliance in Bingzhou, and Vice Sect Leader Pang Zhen was even the Deputy Alliance Leader, overseeing all matters large and small within the cultivation world of Bingzhou.

Mong Si nodded slightly, "Descendants of a prominent sect, indeed extraordinary. The two of you have made great contributions in the Spirit Stream Defense Battle. On behalf of the cultivation world of Bingzhou, I extend my thanks to both of you!"

With that, he solemnly bowed to Lu Ye and Hua Ci.

Behind him, a group of cultivators from Bingzhou with 8th-9th Heaven level cultivation also bowed in unison.

Lu Ye and Hua Ci were sowhat taken aback, and before they could speak, another cultivator with an elusive presence said, "The cultivation world of Dingzhou thanks the two Junior Brothers and Sisters of the Righteous Blood Sect."

Another said, "The cultivation world of Yunzhou thanks the two Junior Brothers and Sisters of the Righteous Blood Sect."

"The cultivation world of Leizhou thanks the two Junior Brothers and Sisters of the Righteous Blood Sect."

"Wuzhou..."

Cultivators one after another paid their respects like stalks in the wind, rising and falling with the breeze.

Lu Ye and Hua Ci exchanged a glance and returned the salute with solemn expressions.

Li Baxian stood by, knowing in his heart that his Junior Brother and Sister had beco famous in one fell swoop.

Unlike the incident at Golden Light Peak last ti, that ti many sects in the cultivation world rembered the achievents of the Righteous Blood Sect and cooperated to ensure the safety of the last Spirit Stream Realm disciple of the sect.

That was a legacy left by the Righteous Blood Sect.

But this ti, the Spirit Stream Defense Battle was all thanks to Lu Ye and Hua Ci, who had made their own mark and brought glory to their sect.

Li Baxian's mind was filled with thoughts, and he thought of a blurred but towering figure. "Big Brother, oh Big Brother, if you have a spirit in heaven, you should rest easy now. The flag of the Righteous Blood Sect... did not fall! Decades later, soone took up that banner, lifted it high, and waved it in the skies of the Haotian Alliance."

"If the two Junior Brothers and Sisters visit the Core Circle for training in the future, just send a ssage and co to the Righteousness Sect headquarters," said Mong Si once again.

"You are also welco at the Jade Cloud Palace headquarters," said another voice.

The others also voiced their invitations, all at once offering their places for training.

Lu Ye thanked them profusely; training in the Core Circle was a matter of ti. Currently at Level 6, he could still mingle in the outer circle for so ti. But when he reached Level 7 cultivation, he would need to consider entering the inner circle, and when he ultimately reached Level 9 one day and started cultivating a Heaven Rank technique, then he would go to the Core Circle.

With the grace from the Spirit Stream Defense Battle, he would have many choices of places to visit in the future.

A good while later, everyone dispersed one after another.

Only then did Lu Ye have the chance to ask about the doubts in his mind.

"Senior Brother, what is this spirit tree? The fruits on it sll so fragrant," Lu Ye asked.

He had noticed this when he ca here with Li Baxian: a fruit tree bearing nine fruits, filling the air with an enticing aroma that could be slled from miles away.

Lu Ye knew there were heavenly materials and earthly treasures within the Chess Sea, unique to this place that could not be found in the Nine Provinces or the Spirit Stream battlefield. But since entering the Chess Sea, he had not seen any particularly special treasures.

The good things had probably been taken by others long ago.

It was not until this mont, upon seeing this fruit tree, that he knew it was sothing precious.

"This is a Breath Fruit," explained Li Baxian. "It's a valuable treasure."

Feng Yuechan also added from the side, "Breath Fruits are rare. They are only produced in the Chess Sea, and not every ti is there a harvest. Last ti the Chess Sea opened, there were no Breath Fruits. Its flesh possesses an incredibly strong restorative effect.

Take your fourth Senior Brother for example, if he were to exhaust all his spirit force, just a bite of the flesh would likely replenish it."

"That's amazing," Lu Ye exclaid in surprise. Even though his fourth Senior Brother was at the 8th Heaven level, it was due to a damaged spiritual orifice that prevented his advancent. All his spiritual orifices were opened, and in terms of spirit force reserves, he was on par with other cultivators at the 9th Heaven level.

If soone as powerful as his fourth Senior Brother could restore all his spirit force with just one bite of the flesh, for soone at Level 6 like himself, perhaps a nibble of the peel could have the sa effect.

In combat against formidable enemies, the restoration of spirit force is key to enduring the fight. If everyone were exhausted and soone suddenly consud a Breath Fruit, the other side would likely despair.

In certain monts, this fruit could indeed be a lifesaver.

Li Baxian continued, "As precious as the flesh is, the real value of the Breath Fruit lies in its core."
