saint of humanity

Chapter 2240 Strange

Silently, the illusion disappeared. When Lu Ye came to his senses, he had appeared in the insect nest, in the same insect sac where he had been before.

Glancing at the bloated mountain of flesh over there, Lu Ye said nothing.

Youdie had obviously compromised silently. Since she had released him from the illusion, she would not embarrass him for a while, and he had no intention of getting entangled with her.

All the things on his body were still there, so Lu Ye immediately took out all the Taoist bones from the storage ring and piled them beside him.

More than half a year has passed since he was abducted. According to the agreement he had made with Yan Yong, the Yan family would provide him with two hundred bones every month.

So this time Yan Hong brought more than a thousand bones with him to make up for the loss during this period.

Of course Lu Ye knew that it was not because of his charm, but that the Yan family wanted to find out some information about the ruins from him. Although there were not many Taoist bones, they could still be obtained based on the Yan family's background. If he could really find out some secrets from Lu Ye, he would definitely not lose out.

It’s a pity that the secret of the ruins is quite complicated, and Lu Ye doesn’t plan to tell anyone else for the time being.

Driven by the power of the talent tree, the remaining Taoist force in the Taoist bone was devoured madly.

Lu Ye soon realized that the Taoist power remaining in these Taoist bones did show signs of dissipating, and he didn't know how long Yan Hong had been waiting for him in the ruins.

The harvest was not small, but not as big as I imagined.

In the core of the insect nest, Youdie had been secretly paying attention to Lu Ye. She was surprised to see him suddenly take out so many Taoist bones, but then she thought of Lu Ye's strength and quickly felt relieved.

But something shocking happened to her. It didn’t take long before those Taoist bones turned into powder and disappeared.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that a person who had entered the Dao could refine the Dao bones in this way. Even if she, a mother insect, used the special features of the insect nest to refine it, her efficiency would be slightly inferior.

But then he thought of Lu Ye’s strange strength… Compared to the fact that he, an entry-level Daoist, could possess the strength of a hundred Daos, such a strange refining speed seemed nothing.

Of course Lu Ye knew that he could not hide his blatant refining of Dao Bone from Youdie's perception, but it didn't matter anymore. He had exposed many things in front of Youdie and didn't care about this one more thing.

Without rushing to polish his Taoist bones, Lu Ye examined himself.

He received Xingyuan's blessings four times on this trip. The benefit he received on the last occasion seemed a little strange, as he had never encountered it before.

He felt that there was a mysterious power lurking in his body. Since the talent tree was not burned, it meant that this thing was harmless to him. On the contrary, the abnormality that befell him along with this mysterious power had almost been burned out.

After careful investigation, Lu Ye was a little confused, because this was not energy, nor was it a physical object. He wanted to refine it, but he could not find the way.

After searching for a long time, he was still confused. He looked up at Youdie, and Youdie's voice immediately rang out: "Brother Ye, is there something wrong?"

The corner of Lu Ye's mouth twitched.

This guy had indeed been secretly paying attention to me, otherwise there was no reason for him to react so quickly.

"It's okay." Lu Ye gave up the intention of asking her for advice.

He explored the wonder again and tried to activate the power of Taoism and inject it into it, but he didn't expect that he had found the right way this time. Lu Ye could clearly feel that the wonder suddenly melted and seeped into his body, as if it was stimulated by the power of Taoism.

He was slightly startled, but before he could react, something strange happened.

Extremely abundant Taoist power suddenly surged in from all directions, and under the mysterious attraction, flowed into Lu Ye's body uncontrollably. The golden color on the leaves of the Talent Tree increased one by one.

Lu Ye was greatly surprised and immediately understood what the magical thing was used for. It could actually quickly enhance his Taoist power.

But this is clearly not right.

Just as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth exists in every corner of the realm, the power of Tao also exists everywhere in the Star Abyss. Cultivators can slowly refine and accumulate it through hard practice, but the efficiency of this practice is very low, and it often takes many days to refine a trace of power of Tao.

Even for Lu Ye, who relied on the power of the talent tree to practice hard, he could only gain a trace of Tao power in a day. It was not that the talent tree was not good enough, but that the concentration of Tao power in Xingyuan was not enough. A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Without enough Tao power concentration, no matter how powerful the talent tree was, the efficiency would not be very high.

But what is happening now?
In a short period of time, Lu Ye's Dao power increased incredibly fast. Where did this Dao power come from? It couldn't just appear out of thin air.

Moreover, Lu Ye felt that his current state had become extremely strange. Everything around him suddenly became unreal, his vision was distorted and blurred, and the bloated mountain of flesh that he had seen at first glance disappeared, and even the insect sac he was in turned gray.

Suddenly a fish swam past, but was quickly attracted by the wonder in his body and turned into pure Taoist power and merged into his body.

"Tao fish?" Lu Ye widened his eyes and looked around. He found that there was not just one Tao fish, but many of them. They appeared from an unknown place, gathered around him, and were attracted by the mysterious force, turning into his own Tao power.

Lu Ye finally understood where that abundant Taoist power came from.

But...why is there a fish here?
He had seen this thing before. Not long after he started to venture into Xingyuan, he encountered a small group of human forces led by Qingyu. It was during the intersection with them that he met the Dao Fish.

Those Dao fish appeared in the Dao pond, and that was also the first time Lu Ye killed Rong Dao!

Looking back now, those Taoist fish also appeared out of thin air, which is somewhat similar to the current situation.

There was a faint voice calling from beside his ear, but Lu Ye couldn't hear it clearly because the voice was very weak and very far away from him...

Time passed, and I don’t know how long it had been before the distortion around me slowly healed.

The faint and distant sound suddenly became very close and clear.

"Lu Ye!"

"Lu Ye!"

Lu Ye was dazed, and all the abnormalities disappeared at this moment, as if everything just now was just a dream.

"Lu Ye!" Youdie was still calling.

"Stop shouting!" Lu Ye replied, frowning.

"What are you doing?" Youdie looked obviously nervous.

She had never called Lu Ye by his name. She usually called him Brother Ye, and sometimes she called him Husband to deliberately disgust him.

But now he is calling him by his name, he must be scared.

"I..." Lu Ye didn't know what he was doing. If it weren't for the Taoist power added by the leaves of the talent tree, he almost thought he was in a dream.

But the increased spiritual power told him that those were all real experiences.

The increase in Dao power was not much, only about two thousand, which was not enough even to polish the Dao bones.

But on second thought, if anyone else entered the Tao and obtained two thousand Dao powers, he would probably be able to soar into the sky, so this is not much, just for him.

Lu Ye roughly understood that this kind of wonder that he had never encountered before had the function of enabling cultivators to quickly gain Taoist power.

Compared to the slight improvement of his physical body, Lu Ye undoubtedly prefers this benefit.

But thinking back on my previous experiences, I felt secretly horrified.

"What did you see?" Lu Ye asked.

Youdie groaned for a moment: "You seem to have entered another world, very far away from me."

It turns out that he was not the only one who felt this way, Youdie also had it.

But he is clearly here.

What a strange thing!
"You..." Youdie spoke again.

"What?" Lu Ye asked.

Youdie said, "Nothing." She suddenly thought of a possibility, but then remembered that Lu Ye had just entered the Dao, and even if he really had the strength of a hundred Daos, such a thing would not happen.

And it’s so colorful here!

"Strange!" Lu Ye muttered. Youdie obviously wanted to say something, but since she didn't say it, Lu Ye was too lazy to ask more.

This experience was very strange, maybe there will be more discoveries next time.

Speaking of which, Qingyu had told him a long time ago that the benefits of Xingyuan's blessing are varied and cannot be generalized. Lu Ye has also received Xingyuan's blessing many times, but the biggest benefit is undoubtedly the benefit of slightly improving the physical body. There are also benefits of polishing the Taoist bones and entering the soul. This is the first time like today.

I don't know if there are any other benefits.

Having accumulated a lot of Taoist power, Lu Ye immediately polished his Taoist bones.

In the ruins, with the help of the five star fruits, he gained the power of one hundred and eighteen paths.

After Lu Ye had almost consumed all of his Taoist power, he increased his power by three more levels, reaching the level of one hundred and twenty-one.

The improvement in strength is not that great, but the road is one step at a time. Compared with other people who have entered the Tao, his strength has improved very quickly.

The only thing that made him feel melancholy was that the Dao Power required to polish the Dao Bone was increasing. At this level, it took six or seven thousand Dao Power to polish the Dao Bone once. How terrifying!
He had predicted earlier that one day he would need tens of thousands of Dao Power to polish his Dao Bone, and this kind of thing might really happen.

"Brother Ye." Youdie's voice sounded again.

As soon as Lu Ye heard it, he knew that she was up to no good and of course he was unwilling to pay any attention to her.

But how could Youdie let him have his wish? She kept shouting at him over and over again, making Lu Ye uneasy!
"That's enough!" He finally couldn't bear it anymore.

A string of silver bell-like laughter came, clear and pleasant.

"Just tell me if you have something to say." Lu Ye gritted his teeth. Of course he knew what Youdie was going to do. Since it was about the method of leaving Banlan, he would not easily reveal it to Youdie no matter what.

He had a plan in mind, but it was still vague and needed to be discussed with Jiuying, and he also needed Jiuying's cooperation.

"Brother Ye, have you forgotten what you promised me before?"

"What's the matter?" Lu Ye frowned. Did he promise anything? He really had no impression. Of course, it was not ruled out that Youdie was deliberately changing the subject to relax his guard.

"Xiaodie is so sad. I trust Brother Ye so much, but you don't care about me at all." Youdie felt aggrieved and even sobbed while speaking.

Seeing that Lu Ye ignored him, he could only raise his voice slightly: "Fire...Brother Ye."

What am I so angry about? I’m really angry now!
But after she said that, Lu Ye finally remembered.
