over. The speed of that light was incredibly fast, even with Lu Ye activating his flying wing spirit pattern, he couldn't compare to it.At a glance, Lu Ye knew that the visitor was a powerful cultiva...Ding'an City, a great battle took place, with hundreds of corpses lying outside the city for three miles.

The city gate swung open, flanked by numerous soldiers. Lu Ye rode his horse back in triumph, watched over by countless soldiers who had witnessed the battle firsthand on the city walls, all showing their reverence and admiration.

On both sides of the city's passageways, crowds of people cheered as they welcomed the hero home.

They obviously all knew the news that the Black Cloak Vanguard had been defeated.

In such a world of extreme cultivation, Lu Ye's performance was truly astounding. He single-handedly charged into an army of thousands, slaying hundreds with his own power and beheading the enemy general. Such feats are only heard in storytellers' tales.

Who would have thought that something like this could happen right under our noses today.

Lu Ye returned to the Zhou family's courtyard and without stopping, immediately began ascetic cultivation.

Chunks of inferior spirit stones were devoured by the Talent Tree, transforming into useless rubble. Meanwhile, his own cultivation base steadily and slowly increased.

A day later, the ninth spirit aperture opened, and Lu Ye let out a long breath.

Although the difference between eight and nine apertures in cultivation seems like only one step, it signifies a qualitative change. Opening the nine apertures means truly embarking on the path of cultivation. In fact, only at this point does a cultivator have the right to call themselves a practitioner.

Qi flows through each acupoint, connecting them as it performs the circulation of small Zhoutian. It is a continuous and inexhaustible flow.

This realm of Lingxi, one level higher! In doing so, both personal strength and stamina will be greatly enhanced. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This training experience felt quite strange to Lu Ye. He never expected to be able to walk the same path he had taken before, but compared to back then, this time it felt much faster.

When facing the Black Scarf Vanguard Army previously, with a single layer of cultivation, Lu Ye was truly confident that he could devour the entire vanguard army single-handedly, provided they didn't scatter.

"Yao warm." Lu Ye softly called out.

Zhou Ping didn't know what Lu Ye was looking for, but now the safety of Ding'an depended entirely on Lu Ye. The things in the treasury were naturally at his disposal.

After a brief moment, Lu Ye stood before a pile of dark rocks. He casually picked up a fist-sized stone and, with a slight surge of spiritual power, raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Ping, observing the man's expression, quickly stepped forward to explain: "Sir, this is black bluestone. After smelting, it can be used to forge spiritual weapons."

Not all minerals are suitable for crafting weapons used by cultivators. This involves a concept of conductivity. Cultivators, in their battles, need to channel spiritual energy. The materials used to forge spirit weapons, the easier they are to conduct spiritual energy, the more precious they become. Some materials that cannot conduct spiritual energy will only result in ordinary weapons when forged.

Just like Lu Ye's previous heavy spear, it was an ordinary spear. However, because of its considerable weight, it could only unleash powerful destructive force in Lu Ye's hands.

This piece of black stone can be used to forge spirit soldiers, but in Lu Ye's view, the spirit soldiers forged from this material are only the lowest grade because the mineral itself is of very low quality.

But in such a world, the very existence of such things is already remarkable.

"Besides the warehouse, are there other places in this city with black basalt" Lu Ye asked.

Zhou Ping pondered for a moment and said, "The Zhou family has some. The other two families among the three major clans should also have a portion in storage. If you need them, sir, I can collect them for you."

"Get it all over here and then have someone smelt it."

"Mr., what are you going to build" Zhou Ping asked.

The "Tongqi Lianzhi" formation is undoubtedly the best and only choice!

This formation disk, the Land-Leaf Formation Disk, was crafted countless times in the past. He had become quite adept at it. The only troublesome part was the intricate interconnected spirit veins of the same lineage.

This is also why Lü Yè had to raise his cultivation level to the Lingxi First Layer before taking action, because the cultivation level of the Eight Apertures was simply not enough.

Even at this moment, Lu Ye didn't dare to be certain if Ling Xi could reach the next level.

"Bring the things in!" Lu Ye commanded again.

Zhou Ping gestured, and immediately a soldier lifted a large crate and placed it beside Lu Ye's feet. He opened the crate, and inside were all sorts of low-grade spirit stones.explore it themselves.And then there was the incident with the fox fairy valley. Although it wasn't a secret realm, Lu Ye had slain the rogue fox demon, effectively eliminating a major threat to the Y...
