The butcher was stunned, but then he thought about it and said, "Maybe the exchange ratio is very low?"
He won’t take the blame!
The city lord looked ugly and couldn't say anything else.
Lu Ye's ability to exchange his war merits for soul water was given by him from heaven. Now, he has no way to change this result. He can only pray that Lu Ye's war merits are limited and he cannot exchange for too much soul water, otherwise it will really affect him.
The foundation of the soul pool.
After a while, Lu Ye, who was collecting the soul water below the soul pool, found that the soul gathering funnel in front of him suddenly collapsed in a burst of distortion.
He instinctively built another spirit-gathering funnel, but this second funnel had just taken shape, as if there was an inexplicable force that disrupted it, and it failed to play any role at all.
He had some reaction, and quickly checked his battlefield mark, and found that among the information recorded in the battlefield mark, his combat merit figures were only 836 points left.
It takes one thousand points of battle merit to collect one drop of soul water, and the remaining 836 points are obviously not enough for one drop.
With more than 300,000 battle merits, only this little was left in a short period of time. It would be false to say that it doesn't hurt. After all, these are battle merits, not meritorious deeds. But compared to the gains, the price paid is definitely worth it.
The water bag is not full, but there are more than three hundred drops of soul water in it. Such a huge resource is enough to allow him and even his relatives and friends around him to elevate the soul to an extremely exaggerated level.
The military exploits are gone, and it’s time to leave.
Lu Ye carefully put away the water bag and used his strength to fly upward.
He originally thought he was at the very bottom of the soul pool, but in fact, after only two breaths, he broke through the blockade of heavy soul mist, and the surrounding light came into his eyes, making him squint his eyes.
The next moment, he felt sharp eyes staring at him.
Looking in the direction of the source of his gaze, Lu Ye saw at a glance the Lord of Xianyuan City whom he had met last time!
But at this moment, the city lord's expression was a little strange, as if he was gritting his teeth...
He gave Lu Ye the feeling that he had done something that angered both humans and gods, and he wanted to beat him up.
Could it be that... his actions in the soul pool were noticed by him? Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
But then I thought about it, and I was really scared. Those soul waters were exchanged for my military merits, and it was a rule allowed by Tianji! No matter how big the city lord was, could he still be bigger than Tianji?
Thinking like this, Lu Ye suddenly showed a look of surprise again and looked at the fat figure behind the city lord.
"senior?"
Almost thinking that he was dazzled, Lu Ye ducked and landed in front of the butcher. He looked carefully and confirmed that the person in front of him was the butcher who should be dead.
He was a little confused: "Senior, why are you..."
The butcher laughed and said: "In Xianyuan City, the soul pool is not broken, and we spirit bodies will not die. It will only be a short period of silence."
Lu Ye didn't understand why the butcher could come back from the dead, but the implication behind his words was that the soul pool had given these spirits some special abilities.
No wonder they always say that the soul pool is the foundation of Xianyuan City.
So, the scenes he saw before he fell into coma were not illusions?
"Then Liu Datong and senior Yu Qing..."
"They are all alive and are doing some finishing tasks outside. I think they will be back soon."
Lu Ye took a long breath: "That's really great!"
The butcher raised his hand and patted Lu Ye's shoulder, approvingly saying: "Boy, you did a good job!" He was naturally referring to the fact that after their team was wiped out, Lu Ye completed the mission for them alone, even though he failed to do so.
It's perfect, but I've tried my best.
If not, the Butcher would not have brought Lu Ye back to the City Lord's Mansion, and would have even taken the initiative to incorporate him into his own team, giving him the right to enter the soul pool for cultivation.
Of course, Lu Ye doesn't know all this yet.
"By the way, your knife, senior." Lu Ye said, quickly taking out the butcher's boning knife from the storage space and handing it back.
The butcher took it and put it into the knife pouch on his waist. Then he raised his hands forward and said, "Sir, I'm going to do my work first. I'll leave this kid to you."
An impatient voice sounded: "Go away!"
The butcher pulled Lu Ye aside again and murmured softly: "I know you have a lot of questions, but there are some things I can't say, and I don't know. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask the Lord of the City. If you can tell me,
Yours, he will definitely tell you, no matter what, now you can be considered half a person from Xianyuan City."
Being included in the Butcher's Squad is not just a matter of words, so even if Lu Ye is not a monk from Xianyuan City, in the eyes of the Butcher, he is still half a person from Xianyuan City.
"What help do you need from me?" Lu Ye asked. After returning from training in the soul pool, Lu Ye felt that he was extremely energetic, and the power of his soul seemed to be stronger than before.
The butcher shook his head and said: "No need, this time the Zerg siege has come to an end, and all that is left are some finishing chores. You should leave here as soon as possible. You are a living person, and you came to Xianyuan City in this state. Here,
Staying too long will do you no good."
Lu Ye nodded: "Yes."
Even if the butcher didn't say this, Lu Ye could still feel that his soul came out of the body and came to Xianyuan City on the basis of projection this time. If the soul is separated from the physical body for too long, there will indeed be some hidden dangers.
The butcher patted Lu Ye's shoulder again and walked away.
Lu Ye watched his back disappear, then turned around and bowed respectfully to the figure in front of him: "Lu Ye has met the Lord of the City!"
A cold snort sounded: "So you can see me?"
The city lord... why is he so evil?
"I just saw Senior Butcher come back from the dead, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed. Please don't blame me, Lord City Master, for being disrespectful!"
After hearing Lu Ye's explanation, Ji Yuan's expression softened slightly, but when he thought of the soul pool and soul water, his cheeks twitched again: "Boy, the harvest this time is not small!"
More than three hundred drops of soul water!
Since the existence of Xianyuan City, so much soul water has never been lost.
Although there were monks who could take away soul water from Xianyuan City in the past, it was only a drop or two at most. Ji Yuan deliberately placed it somewhere in Xianyuan City for outside monks to find.
And last time, this guy already took away dozens of drops...
Twice before and after, Xianyuan City suffered heavy losses from this kid.
The loss of more than three hundred drops of soul water is enough for Xianyuan City to support two or three wars!
But he couldn't say anything. He was careless last time and didn't expect this kid to have such weird abilities. This time, there was a secret at work, so even if he was heartbroken and almost bleeding, he could only admit that he was unlucky.
Fortunately, although the amount of more than three hundred drops of soul water is quite large, it is not enough to affect the foundation of the soul pool.
City Lord... what does this mean?
Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked at him. His words were unspoken, as if he meant something.
He must have known that he was collecting soul water from the soul pool, right? Thinking that the Butcher and others were not equipped with soul water to go out to fight, Lu Ye wondered if the city lord in front of him was unable to condense soul water?
By some strange coincidence, Lu Ye took out a jade bottle, handed it to Ji Yuan, and said in a deep voice, "I don't have much either."
Ji Yuan looked at the jade bottle, and when he realized his reaction, he immediately laughed angrily: "Boy, who do you think the lord of this city is?"
That jade bottle was clearly the first one that Lu Ye filled when collecting the soul water. Later, he realized that the soul water was condensing too fast, so he used a water bag instead.
Lu Ye quickly took back the jade bottle, took a long breath, and didn't pull it down. A bottle of soul-cleansing water still has a lot of weight, and said: "This junior misunderstood, I thought..."
"What do you think? Do you think you can share half of the stolen goods when you meet them?"
Don’t even think about it!
The thought in his mind changed, and Lu Ye said seriously: "The Lord of the City is wrong, that's not some stolen property, I got it in exchange for my military exploits."
Ji Yuan waved his hand feebly: "Whatever you say, if you can take it, it's yours."
"Thank you City Lord!" Lu Ye relaxed immediately.
"But boy...how many military exploits have you gained this time?" Ji Yuan was still very curious about this.
Lu Ye then reported a number.
Ji Yuan's eyes twitched when he heard this, recalling the way the butcher swore that Lu Ye only had tens of thousands of military merits. Bullshit, tens of thousands of military merits, that's more than 300,000!
He even suspected that the butcher did it on purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have run so fast.
But there is no point in worrying about this at this time. The thing is already in Lu Ye's hands, and he cannot be asked to spit it out, especially since the soul water was indeed exchanged by Lu Ye for his military exploits.
After many thoughts went through his mind, Ji Yuan laughed.
Lu Ye noticed that the atmosphere had relaxed a lot, so he said, "Why are you laughing, sir?"
Ji Yuan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't communicated with someone like this for a long time." The topic changed, "Boy, you grow up very fast."
The last time I saw Lu Ye, he was only at the eighth level of Lingxi. Now he has reached the level of True Lake. This growth rate is simply shocking.
Over the past thousands of years, Xianyuan City has had many monks from Kyushu, many of whom were extremely talented. Although Ji Yuan didn't know how fast those people grew, he thought that they would never be faster than the kid in front of him.
Lu Ye shook his head and said: "The Lord of the City has misunderstood. The current situation of this junior is a bit special. In fact, this junior is only at the fifth level of Yunhe, but the power of the soul is stronger than the physical body, so after coming here, he showed the foundation of the True Lake Realm."
Ji Yuan suddenly realized: "That's it."
It's normal. Since this is where the soul comes out of the body, it is naturally the power of the soul that is displayed.
However, Yunhe's fifth-level realm... his growth rate is not too slow.
"Lord City Lord, I have something I would like to ask you. Can you please help me?"
"Just ask, I will tell you whatever I can tell you."
"What is going on in Xianyuan City? Isn't this a secret realm in Lingxi Battlefield? Why can this junior come here through the fused breath core?"
"Secret Realm..." Ji Yuan murmured softly. He did not answer Lu Ye's question directly, but asked: "In your opinion, what is the secret realm?" (To be continued)
