The Great Sage of Humanity
Chapter 6, The Meeting

...Consuming Qi Blood Pills can strengthen one's vitality. One could then obtain more Spiritual Strength by using his Spiritual Strength in his Spiritual Points to refine his vitality. Right now, that was the only method Lu Ye could use to cultivate with the benefits he gained from Manager Yang's personal items....

He had calculated the number of Blood Qi Pills before. There was a total of 253 Blood Qi Pills, which was not a small amount. He had originally thought so many Blood Qi Pills would be enough for him to use. However, he had just learned that this Blood Qi Pill would not last long after he actually started cultivating.

The first time he cultivated, he had only managed to refine the medicinal properties of the 2 Blood Qi Pills. He had never done this before, so it took him a long time to think of how to refine his vitality into Qi. During his second attempt, he had successfully refined 4 Blood Qi Pills. He started mastering it after some practice. 

The third time, he refined 6 Qi Blood Pills… 

The fourth time, he refined 10 Qi Blood Pills…

The more he cultivated, the faster his Blood Qi Pill consumption would be. It was because the Spiritual Strength at his Spiritual Point was increasing day by day. The more Spiritual Strength he possessed, the higher his efficiency in refining his vitality into Qi, and the greater the consumption of Blood Qi Pills.

He finally understood one thing. The Blood Qi Pill was truly nothing great. Otherwise, there was no reason for a newly Enlightened cultivator like him to consume the pill so quickly. A true cultivator most likely had some special Spirit Pills to cultivate while cultivating. It was a pity that he could not recognize any of those Spirit Pills and did not dare to try them carelessly.

The mine was damp and gloomy. He had no idea how much time had passed. When he finished consuming all the Blood Qi Pills he had, he knew that it was time for him to leave. It was not because he was running out of cultivation resources. It was because he had nothing more to eat.

Ever since he started refining his vitality into Qi, his appetite had increased tremendously. Manager who brought a lot of food with him. If he rationed his food carefully, it could last for two months. He planned to hide here for some time. How could he not be ready enough?

Although there was no way for him to calculate the time accurately, he estimated that over a dozen days had passed since he started cultivating. The benefits he obtained from this period of cultivation were not great but also not small.

The Spiritual Strength in his Spiritual Point Source had been fully charged. In other words, he had the qualifications to unlock the next Spiritual Points and cultivate the Gold Liberation Technique. It was just that when he tried to unlock his second Spiritual Point according to the guidance written in the Gold Liberation Technique, he was unable to find the exact location. Not only did he fail in his cultivation, but he also wasted a lot of Spiritual Strength for no reason.

[It's no wonder I hear people say that cultivation issues require guidance from their Elders. Who knows how many detours I have to take before I can think of it myself?] For that reason, he was still only a cultivator who had just opened his first Spiritual Points despite consuming all the Blood Qi Pills he had. The wounds on his body had healed completely, so it did not obstruct his movement.

Instead, he was troubled about how he would deal with Manager Yang's Storage Bag. He refused to leave her here. That's all Manager Yang has. Putting aside the other items, some of those rare ores were extremely valuable. He had no family or friends in this world or any Elders to take care of him. He definitely needed to consume a lot of resources in the future. With Manager Yang's personal items in his possession, at the very least, he wouldn't have to worry about the lack of cultivation resources for now.

Nevertheless, it was also inappropriate to bring this Storage Bag on him. This is the World of Cultivation. Luck breeds greed and it is not uncommon for murder to occur. If a cultivator who had only unlocked one Spiritual Point like himself was carrying such a precious Storage Bag, it was hard to guarantee that others would not intend to harm him when they saw the Storage Bag.

After considering it for some time, he decided to take the Storage Bag with him. Wealth is always accompanied by danger; if he misses this opportunity, he may never find another chance to get such a windfall again.

Once he made up his mind, he returned to where he killed Manager Yang before and took his mining pickaxe that had been cut in half. Since he had decided to bring the Storage bag with him, he could not leave Metal Yuan in this place. After all, these ores were extremely valuable.

Lifting up his mining pickaxe again, he began to sweat profusely like rain. He had been mining for over a year, so he had long gotten used to the job. Moreover, he was much more efficient than before because now he had the foundation of Spiritual Strength. He mined the Yuan Metal, piece by piece, and stored it into a Storage Bag. Only after he finished mining all the Yuan Metals in this place did he end up dumping the mine. [If everything goes well, I don't have to use this anymore!]

When everything was ready, Lu Ye took a deep breath and followed the route in his memory towards the outside. He was very careful along the way. Afraid that a cultivator from Evil Moon Valley would emerge from the shadows, he did not dare to go too far so that he would not reveal his whereabouts.

Unfortunately, the more afraid a person is, the more likely that fear is to come true. When he turned the corner in the darkness and entered the mining tunnel, his figure suddenly froze in place. Not far ahead, a figure was leaning against the rock wall of the mining tunnel and gasping for breath. Moreover, there was a faint smell of blood in the air …

Lu Ye was just about to retreat, but it was too late. The person turned to look towards Lu Ye and immediately exclaimed in shock, "Lu Ye!?"

Lu Ye immediately felt his heart clench in fear. The fact that his face was visible in this darkness indicated that the person was a cultivator. Furthermore, someone who could recognize him could only be one of the Evil Moon Valley cultivators.

Of course; if Manager Yang thought of taking refuge in the mine, then the other Evil Moon Valley cultivators would think so too. Who knew how many people from Evil Moon Valley were currently hiding inside the mine?

The gears in his head were spinning rapidly. He gathered his Inner Strength in his eyes and finally saw the other party's face clearly. It was one of the cultivators in the mine named Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng worked under Manager Yang and had a lower status than Manager Yang. His cultivation might be weaker than that of Manager Yang as well. Besides, he seems to be injured. The smell of blood came out of his body.

"Come here!" Zhou Cheng lowered his voice and called Lu Ye.

"okay!" Lu Ye immediately responded. He stepped forward towards Zhou Cheng, his speed increasing as he walked.

Zhou Cheng immediately sensed that something was wrong. The main reason was that Lu Ye was holding a sword in his hand. Therefore, he frowned. “Where did you get that sword?”

The sword looked like a sword given to all the cultivators of Evil Moon Valley. It was very problematic for Lu Ye to have one.

Lu Ye did not respond. He was only 10 meters away from Zhou Cheng at the moment.

Zhou Cheng finally realized the killing intent coming from Lu Ye. Therefore, he hurriedly stood up and shouted with gritted teeth. "I'll kill you, you little bastard!"

With that said, he raised his sword and stabbed towards Lu Ye. That long sword was filled with Inner Strength. In the darkness, he shone with a bright light. The sword is nothing special. Just that pouring Spiritual Strength into the long sword increased the damage it caused. With an ordinary person like Lu Ye as his opponent, it was only natural that he believed it was more than enough to get rid of Lu Ye. The last person to think like that was Manager Yang, and his corpse had already started to rot.

Meanwhile, the Light Sword expanded rapidly in Lu Ye's sight. He directed his entire Inner Strength to gather around his eyes, and the entire world seemed to be slowing down significantly.

It was different from when he borrowed the strength of the Yuan Metal Force Field to ambush Manager Yang. This was the first time he had fought against another cultivator in a direct confrontation. Therefore, he should not hesitate or worry in the slightest. Fortunately, the cultivation of this cultivator was not that strong. He was also severely injured, which was why Lu Ye dared to go in to kill.

When the long sword was about to hit him, he slid to the side and dodged the attack with a strand of hair. Then, he raised the long sword in his hand and retorted. At the same time, mysterious and complicated patterns appeared on that long sword. That was the blessing of Sharp Edge!
