Chapter 2265: Bone Cauldron of Wubian City
Lu Ye can provide this shortcut method to Ziying as a reference, but he will never tell Youdie.

Youdie tried to persuade him, but Lu Ye glared at her and she finally gave in. She stamped her feet angrily and glanced at Lu Ye with resentment: "Brother Ye is biased!"

Mei and Kuzhi lowered their heads even more.

A cup of tea later, Ziying arrived.

What surprised Lu Ye was that she did not come alone, but was holding someone in her hand.

After entering the insect nest, Ziying threw the man to the ground.

"Sister Ying, this is..." Lu Ye looked over and found that she seemed to be a demon, but she had not fully transformed, because her two ears were obviously those of a furry cat, and there was a long cat tail behind her.

Cat demon?

The cat demon had a very small body, and looked as if it had not opened its mouth. It was obviously in a coma at the moment, curled up on the ground, and huddled into a ball.

Lu Ye looked a little surprised.

Although he couldn't tell the specific cultivation level of this cat demon, anyone who could survive in such an environment must at least be an initiate.

But since he has entered the Tao, why hasn’t his transformation been complete?

Lu Ye had no idea where Ziying met this cat demon and why she captured her.

"There is a force nearby!" Ziying said, "I guess the ghost cultivator you met before belongs to this force."

She glanced at the cat demon on the ground and said, "She is also one of them. However, she is not very powerful but has a very bad temper. I can't get much information from her."

Lu Ye asked: "How far is it from here?"

There are various forces in Xingyuan, of course he knows that some of them are formed by starry sky monks who gathered together for warmth after the starry sky was shattered, but more of them are formed by the creatures of Xingyuan. These forces are large and small, scattered all over Xingyuan.

Judging from the ghost cultivator's previous performance, this force is definitely not weak.

If Banlan was still drifting, we could naturally ignore it, but now that Banlan has stopped, if there is any powerful force nearby, we cannot just sit back and watch.

Apart from anything else, Lu Ye didn't want to be cautious every time he came out of Banlan, guarding against sneak attacks.

Moreover, no matter whether it is Ziying or Youdie, they should not be disturbed when they are practicing and advancing, so the force nearby is undoubtedly a hidden danger to everyone.

If the ghost cultivator who had ambushed Lu Ye really belonged to this force, then there would be a natural hatred between them, because Lu Ye had killed a group of them before.

"Very close!" Ziying said in a deep voice.

Lu Ye frowned. This was troublesome.

He also didn't expect that Banlan's stopping position would be so awkward. With his current means, he might be able to make Banlan move again and leave this position.

But even if it is really possible, it will inevitably consume a lot of Taoist power and energy. When it turns back to stop at Bancai, it will be another expenditure of Taoist power.

"Sister Ying means..." Lu Ye looked up at Ziying.

"Find out their strength first. If possible, talk to them. There is no deep hatred between them. It would be best if we can coexist peacefully. If not..." A fierce look flashed in her eyes.

She had finally gotten out of Banlan and was preparing to be promoted to Hedao, but was delayed because of this incident. She was certainly not in a good mood.

Lu Ye looked at Youdie standing beside him.

Youdie pursed her lips and smiled: "Let me do it."

When it comes to gathering intelligence and controlling others, Youdie is undoubtedly better than Ziying, which is why Ziying brought the cat demon here.

As he finished speaking, light blue soul power surged and spread out, like ripples that enveloped the cat demon curled up on the ground.

Even in a coma, the cat demon couldn't help but whimper, and its curled-up body shrank even tighter.

The Divine Source Illusion Sea! Youdie had used this method to deal with Lu Ye, but he ended up tying her up with the Life Chain.

But there is only one Lu Ye in this world after all.

The cat demon has only an ordinary level of cultivation, how can it resist Youdie's spiritual secret technique.

No one knew what had happened to her. Her breathing gradually became rapid, her skin began to turn red, and her body kept twisting and turning. Sometimes she moaned softly, and sometimes she made a suppressed, high-pitched sound.

Youdie was standing aside with a smile on her face, but Lu Ye glared at her fiercely.

Ziying lowered her eyelids, as if she had entered a state of meditation, hearing nothing and seeing nothing.

After half a day, the cat demon suddenly trembled violently, and then its petite body stretched out, its face turned red, and even in a coma, it still had a happy and satisfied smile on its face.

Lu Ye's hair stood on end. If it weren't for the life chain, his fate would have been no better than that of the cat demon.

"Boundless City!" Youdie suddenly spoke slowly.

"What?" Lu Ye looked at her.

"The force nearby is called Wubian City. It was once one of the strongest forces in a certain Yuan Starry Sky. However, after being invaded by Xingyuan, the Starry Sky was shattered, but Wubian City was preserved and absorbed many cultivators from that Starry Sky. It has continued to this day."

"Then they are really lucky." Lu Ye exclaimed.

Generally speaking, after the starry sky is shattered, the creatures in the starry sky will not have a good fate, because the strength of the cultivators in the starry sky is too weak, and they cannot be compared with the Star Abyss cultivators at all, and they are basically destined to be slaughtered.

This Boundless City has been able to be preserved, and now it seems to be developing quite well, with even people reaching the peak of the Dao of Melting.

"What is their background?"

"This beast tribe's cultivation is not high, only the seventh level of strength, so she doesn't know much. She only knows that there are about a dozen or twenty Rong Dao in Wubian City, and the city lord Kuangshi is at the peak of Rong Dao."

"Beastmen?" Lu Ye frowned slightly. Whether in the starry sky or in Xingyuan, he had seen and heard of many races. Some of them were very strange, but he had never heard of the beastmen. "Isn't it the demon race?"

Youdie explained: "They call themselves the beast tribe. For example, this one in front of us is a member of the cat tribe, which is a branch of the beast tribe. The biggest difference between them and the monster tribe is that they generally still retain some beast characteristics."

That is still a demon clan, but it has not fully transformed, Lu Ye thought secretly in his heart.

"Is the mad lion also a beastman?" Ziying paid attention to another point.

Youdie nodded and said, "From the memory of this little cat demon, the mad lion is from the lion tribe, and is indeed a beast tribe."

Lu Ye and Ziying looked at each other and realized one thing.

This boundless city... has more than one person at the peak of the Rong Dao realm!
The Mad Lion is, and so is the ghost cultivator encountered before. In addition, there are at least a dozen Rong Dao masters. Such strength is indeed very strong.

Moreover, the information that this cat demon can obtain is obviously not comprehensive enough. Perhaps the strength of Wubian City is stronger than what we have learned so far.

However, although the other side has two people at the peak of Rong Dao, we have the same, so we are not afraid. In addition, Yayi and Kuzhi are both Rong Dao, and although Lu Ye is an entry-level Taoist, his strength is not comparable to that of ordinary Rong Dao.

Even though it is not as big as the Boundless City, at least it is qualified for equal dialogue.

"It's unavoidable. I'll go talk to them. It would be best if we can coexist peacefully. If that's not possible... I'll think of another way." Ziying said.

Lu Ye had no objection. He thought that Wubian City would not be willing to be enemies with the five Rong Dao masters here.

Youdie said leisurely: "I advise you to give up this idea."

"Why?" Ziying looked at her.

Youdie smiled and said, "Unless you can tolerate some of the practices of Wubian City."

"What did they do?" Ziying was even more confused.

"They have kept a large number of humans in a realm, selected those with outstanding talents, and helped them practice, break through, and finally enter the Dao!"

"Then what?" Lu Ye asked. Just listening to these words, it seemed that there was no big problem, but what Youdie wanted to say was obviously not that simple.

"Then it will be interesting..." Youdie said this with a calm expression, "When you reach the level of entering the Dao, you can become a renewable cultivation resource for the beast race."

"What are renewable cultivation resources?" Lu Ye frowned.

Youdie looked at him and said, "Brother Ye, you also traveled to Xingyuan before entering Banlan. Haven't you heard of bone nourishment?"

"Nourishing bones..." Lu Ye murmured, vaguely feeling that he seemed to have heard this term somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

He explained: "Before entering Banlan, I had been to Xingyuan, but the time was very short, so I don't know much about Xingyuan."

"No wonder." Youdie nodded, "Then it's understandable that you don't know. The so-called bone nourishment is to let the human beings who have entered the Dao practice a special method of cultivation. Through this method, some internal things will change. When it reaches a certain level, the human beings who practice this method will become vessels for nourishing bones, which are called bone cups."

"They can still practice and polish their Dao bones, but unlike ordinary Daoists, they will never be able to fight with others because their Dao bones are very fragile and cannot withstand the impact of the force when fighting. However, there is an advantage to this. Once the Dao bones are taken away, it is easy to polish them back and take them away again when the time is right..."

At this point, both Lu Ye and Ziying's faces turned solemn, because they both realized what those captive humans were going through.

Lu Ye finally remembered where he had heard the word "bone nourishing".

That was the first time he left Banlan and entered Xingyuan. He suddenly met two Rongdao passing by. One of them said that he wanted to take him back to recuperate!
From this point of view, this kind of thing of letting people enter the Dao and become bone cauldrons, and then continuously harvesting Dao bones, is very common in Xingyuan. Otherwise, it would not make sense for the two Rong Daos who passed by to take him back to nourish his bones.

This is truly a renewable resource for spiritual practice.

Monks can gain Taoist power through ascetic practices. Once those bone cups have successfully polished their Taoist bones, they will be dismantled and taken away. Then they will continue to fall into this cycle of suffering over and over again, and will never be able to escape unless they die.

No wonder a city like Wubian can have so many Rongdaos and use bone cups to nourish bones. As long as the base number of bone cups is large enough, the beastmen in Wubiancheng will never lack resources for cultivation.
