Chapter 5: Plans (Thanks to the patron 'zhuangshengxiao

losed his eyes again to examine his injuries.Luckily, there wasn't anything major, and all the injuries are recovering quickly. With his current physique, he should be almost fully recovered in three...A single leaf on the talent tree bears a spirit inscription like "sharpness." What about the other leaves Don't they bear different spirit inscriptions

If I could illuminate more leaves, wouldn't that mean gaining knowledge of more spirit patterns

Remembering the enormous canopy and countless leaves of the talent tree, Lu Ye's heart burned with excitement.

tags, and left the HTML tags as they were.

Then the Golden Cicada Mystical Arts Manual comes in handy!

Lü Ye calmed his excited heart slightly, picked up Yang Guan's storage bag and began to pack things. Until then, Lü Ye was startled to discover that he had just engraved his sharp palm with thousands of holes, as if it had been pierced by countless needles, and quite a bit of blood flowed out.

He was so excited that he didn't feel it at all.

Only at this moment did I realize the agonizing pain, a relentless stimulation to my nerves.

He secretly reflected, it seemed that if he obtained any more spirit patterns in the future, he couldn't use them on himself lightly.

Soon, he packed up the things he had taken out before and moved away from the range covered by the magnetic field.

He was facing two choices. One was to leave the mine vein. Yang Guan, the reason he came here to avoid disaster, was because people from the Haoxian Alliance had come. With the power of the Xieyuegu on the mine vein, it wouldn't be possible to keep this place safe, so he chose to take shelter first.

If he fails, the ore vein will be overrun and as a disciple of the Evil Moon Valley, his life would be in grave danger.

If I could establish contact with the cultivators of the Haotian Alliance, I could escape this sea of suffering. Then I would no longer have to stay here and be oppressed by others.

But this is clearly not a wise choice.

So he chose the second path, choosing to stay put for now and remain here.

This place is extremely secluded; ordinary people can't find it. Moreover, it's easy to attack and defend. If a disciple of the Eevil Moon Valley accidentally stumbles in, Lu Ye can still use the magnetic force field to give them a surprise, so he wouldn't be completely helpless.

Furthermore, he has not fully recovered from his injuries and it is not easy for him to move around too much.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He recalled what Yang Guan had told him before, if he remembered correctly, Yang Guan had said something like this.

The members of the Haotiangmeng have arrived. We can't keep the ore vein for now. The Haotiangmeng won't stay long, but they'll need one or two months at least.

This statement's implication is pretty clear. Yang Guanxi thinks that even if the Haoteng Alliance manages to capture this place, they won't be able to hold onto this vein for long. So within a month or two, the Haoteng Alliance will withdraw, and by then the vein will return to the Evil Moon Valley.

Based on the information he currently had, Lu Ye formulated a plan in his mind.

Stay here to heal and cultivate, leave the mine tunnel within a month, and go to find the Haotian Alliance to save yourself from suffering!

Having made up his mind, Lu Ye felt a lot more at ease. The most difficult days were over. Now that he had successfully opened his spiritual aperture and had a gifted tree by his side, the good days ahead would be long. So there was no need to rush now.

After searching for a suitable spot, Lu Ye took out a bedding set from Yang Guan's storage bag. He spread it out and sat down quietly on top of it, taking out the Golden Cicada逍遙訣 and reading it carefully.

The mine shaft was pitch black, and only Lu Ye could see anything now that he had successfully opened his spiritual aperture. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see anything at all. Soon, he discovered something interesting: when he concentrated his spiritual energy into his eyes, things became clearer.

It's a pity that he only opened his spirit aperture. His spiritual power is limited and he can't maintain it for long.

Hungry, eat. Tired, sleep. Besides the surrounding environment being a bit bad, there's nothing else much to complain about. Moreover, Lu Ye is now immersed in the excitement of his newly awakened spiritual awareness and doesn't have too many requirements for the environment.

In the darkness, Lu Ye couldn't tell how much time had passed. It had been about several days.

The wounds on my legs and hands have almost healed. After opening up my spiritual apertures and becoming a cultivator, it seems like my physical constitution has also strengthened considerably. Back then, if I had been stabbed in the thigh, it would have taken at least ten or half a month to recover before I could walk.

Of course, this is also related to Lu Ye's daily consumption of Qi Xue Dan.

After studying the "Golden Cicada's Escapades" manual, Lu Ye discovered that this cultivation technique was currently unusable for him. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the technique itself, but rather that Lu Ye had just opened his first spiritual aperture. To open the next one, he needed to fulfill certain conditions.

If we compare the acupoints to a lake within a cultivator's body, then the water in the lake is the cultivator's spiritual energy. Therefore, the more acupoints a cultivator opens, the greater the amount of spiritual energy contained within their body.

But to open the next acupoint, the prerequisite is that the previous acupoint reaches a state of completeness. In simple terms, it means that spiritual energy needs to be full in the acupoint.

Place the onto Lu Ye's body, what he needed to do now was to constantly cultivate and strengthen the spiritual power in his Source Spirit Aperture. Only when the spiritual power in the Source Spirit Aperture reached its full capacity could he open the next aperture. At that time, he would need the Golden Cicada Immortal Technique.

There are several ways to strengthen one's spiritual power.

The most common method is to ingest spiritual elixirs. These elixirs transform into spiritual energy, which is then channeled into the spirit apertures.

The second kind is the intake and exhalation of spiritual energy. Spiritual energy exists in any environment, but the amount varies. After a cultivator opens their spiritual apertures, they can sense the presence of spiritual energy. Through intake and exhalation, they can refine this spiritual energy into their bodies, strengthening their cultivation base.

The third kind is using spirit stones. This thing Lu Ye has only heard of, never seen before.

And there's one last kind, refining essence and qi.

First, one should cultivate and strengthen their own qi and blood. Then, refine the qi and blood into spiritual energy, which can also achieve the purpose of cultivation.

There are several methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. It's difficult to say which one is best overall.

Although Lü Ye had never stepped into the ranks of cultivators before, he often heard other miners talk about cultivation. They spoke of it with a yearning in their hearts, hoping that one day they could soar to new heights, transforming from humble crows into magnificent phoenixes.

As I grew up surrounded by the elders, I learned some basic things through observation and listening.

Now that he thinks about it, Lu Ye wouldn't use the first method. He didn't have any cultivation pills, though he was sure Yang Guanxi's storage bag must have some. But with so many bottles and cans inside, he couldn't tell which ones were what and didn't dare to try them blindly.

As for the second kind, Lu Ye tried it. He didn't know whether it was because this place was near the Yuan Magnetic Force Field or some other reason, but anyway, he didn't feel any spiritual energy, so naturally, he couldn't inhale and exhale it.

The only thing he could do was to cultivate his essence and transform it into qi.of something.The next instant, he unleashed the art of traversal and charged towards the Stone Clan.In a flash, the two figures collided. Lu Ye's figure moved, dodging the opponent's strike while his...
