Chapter 96: Wandering Society

Those insects the size of a fist pose no threat to cultivators at all. Those the size of a washbasin are roughly equivalent to cultivators of two or three levels. But those as tall as humans should...As lone cultivators lack a foundation or the protection of a powerful clan, they face constant peril on the Lingxi battlefield. Therefore, many solitary practitioners band together for mutual support, forming small groups.

Most newly emerged sects on the mainland originated from small groups developing gradually.

This place centers around the medical cultivator Hua Ci, gathering over ten scattered cultivators to form a small group called the Scattered Wanderer's Society.

Ruan Lingyu is an innocent young girl. Lu Ye only needed to make some inquiries to understand the general strength of those wandering cultivators in the Scattered Journey Society.

Hua Ci's cultivation was the highest, reaching the fifth level. Below her were two cultivators at the fourth level, and the rest were mainly at the second or third level. There were only ten people in total. However, because Lu Ye had been recuperating in his room recently, besides Hua Ci and Ruan Lingyu, only one other cultivator at the fourth level was seen.

Such small groups, if you look at the entire Lingxi battlefield, are countless. Compared to true sects, they are naturally incomparable.

Lu Ye had participated in the declaration of war between Xuanmen and Jiuxingzong. Although both sects were only at the eighth and ninth ranks, the total number of people mobilized by both sides had already reached thousands. If Sanyou She got involved, they wouldn't even be able to make a ripple.

Over the past few days, Lu Ye's spiritual energy has fully recovered, and he has even begun his cultivation. He is now at the third level of Lingxi Realm, with thirty acupoints full. If he wants to open one more acupoint, it would take at least fifteen Yunjing Pills. However, because of the assistance of the Gathering Spirit Rune, this consumption is slightly less.

When he emerged from the Liettian Gorge, he had nearly three hundred and fifty spirit pills in his hand. He thought it was enough for him to cultivate to the fourth level of Lingxi Realm with some leeway, but now it seemed a bit insufficient.

Moreover, he still has to pay Huaci five Spirit Pills every day as medical fees. His injuries are unlikely to heal in less than a month without cultivation.

This is still under Huaci's careful care, if not for her medical skills, the recovery time would only be longer.

Yiyi and Amber had been separated from him before, he still wanted to look for them. At that time, Amber was injured, and Lu Ye didn't even have time to check on her injuries. Fortunately, Dong Shuye's target was only him and he didn't pay attention to Amber.

If amber hadn't died back then, and Yiyin had been by her side, there shouldn't have been any major problems.

"Lu Ye planned to recover from his injuries and then go find Amber."

Under the cover of night, Lu Ye shirtless, was practicing his swordsmanship in the open space in front of the bamboo building. Having been delayed in his training for a few days due to injuries, he was finally feeling better today, and couldn't help but get impatient.

On the windowsill of a nearby bamboo building, Ruan Lingyu sat with her chin resting on her hands, watching quietly. She couldn't understand what was so good about all this swordplay and bloodshed. Clearly injured, he shouldn't be running around causing trouble instead of resting properly.

But she couldn't persuade him either, so she could only let nature take its course.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she waved: "Sister Huaci."

In the distance, Hua Ci's figure appeared, followed by a burly man. That man was Kong Niu, a fourth-tier cultivator, whom Lu Ye had met before.

According to Ruan Lingyu, Huaci's reason for being out and about every day is that she goes to the nearby market to heal and treat those wandering cultivators, earning cultivation resources in the process.

The struggles among the wandering cultivators were fierce, often resulting in injuries. For minor wounds, they could simply take a healing pill, but for serious injuries, they needed treatment from a medical cultivator. Otherwise, they would undoubtedly be left with hidden dangers. However, lacking a sect to rely on, seeking out a fellow wandering cultivator as a physician was their only option.

In this way, Hua Ci would have business to do, and this is perhaps the greatest benefit of becoming a medical cultivator. They often don't need to fight on the battlefield to obtain enough cultivation resources.

Under the moonlight, Huaci strolled to a spot not far in front of Lu Ye. She turned back and instructed Kongniu to rest first, so Kongniu left.

In this small group, the "Scattered Travelers," Hua Ci was undoubtedly respected and loved by everyone. Her orders were followed by all.

These people have all received Hua Ci's life-saving grace. After being saved, some were captivated by her charm, while others chose to stay here for other reasons.

He was also wondering if perhaps it was because he had felt death so close that his swordsmanship seemed to have improved. But this was something he would need to confirm by sparring with someone.

"Tsk... I thought I could earn some more spirit pills, how come he recovered so quickly"

< A soft murmur came from Huaci's side.

Li Ye couldn't help but jump at the corner of his eye: "What did you say"

After several days of contact, the initial awkwardness had disappeared. Lu Ye gradually discovered the true nature of this beauty. This person was a complete money-grubber. After healing every day, he would immediately ask Lu Ye for elixir, as if fearing that Lu Ye wouldn't pay up.

Lü Yè was a little suspicious that this woman might be lying to him...

Judging from her recovery today, she wasn't lying about it. The medicine she drank yesterday seems to be more effective than before.

Hua Ci displayed her unique captivating smile, her voice still as gentle as water, refreshing and pleasing to the ear. With her eyes open, she uttered nonsense: "I'm saying you recovered so quickly."rl.Beneath the Soul Cleansing Pool, Lu Ye was brimming with joy as he watched the soul water accumulate. Suddenly, the surging soul mist became violent, twisting and distorting the funnel until it sha...
