Thanks to the legacy of Manager Yang, this is the only cultivation method Lu Ye can currently use.
Previously, he counted and found that there were a total of 253 Qi and Blood Pills, which is not a small number.
Lu Ye originally thought that so many Qi and Blood Pills would be enough for him, but when he really started cultivating, he realized that these pills would not last long.
During his first cultivation, he only refined the effects of two Qi and Blood Pills. Since he had never done this before, it took him a long time to figure out how to refine essence into qi.
By the second time, he could refine four Qi and Blood Pills, showing some improvement through practice.
The third time, six pills…
The fourth time, ten pills…
The more he cultivated, the faster the consumption of Qi and Blood Pills, because the spiritual energy in his spirit acupoint increased daily.
The more spiritual energy he had, the higher the efficiency of refining essence into qi, and thus the greater the consumption of Qi and Blood Pills.
Lu Ye realized that the Qi and Blood Pill was indeed not a very good thing; otherwise, a cultivator who had just opened his acupoint would not have such a high consumption rate.
True cultivators likely use specialized spiritual pills for cultivation, but unfortunately, he did not recognize them and did not dare to try them randomly.
The mine was dark and Lu Ye did not know how much time had passed. When he had used up all the Qi and Blood Pills, he knew he had to leave.
It was not because he lacked cultivation resources, but because he had no food left.
After starting to refine essence into qi, his appetite increased significantly. Manager Yang had brought a lot of food, which, if rationed, would last for two months. After all, he planned to hide here for a long time and had to make adequate preparations.
Although he could not accurately calculate the time, Lu Ye estimated that he had been cultivating for about ten days.
During this period, his gains were not insignificant, but they were not great either.
The spiritual energy in his source spirit acupoint was already full, meaning he was qualified to open the next acupoint and cultivate the Golden Cicada Freedom Technique.
However, when he tried to open the second acupoint according to the guide in the Golden Cicada Freedom Technique, he could not find the location. Not only did he fail to cultivate, but he also wasted a lot of spiritual energy.
No wonder people often say that cultivation requires guidance from elders; otherwise, one would take many detours by exploring on their own.
So, even though he had used up all the Qi and Blood Pills, he was still just a cultivator with one acupoint open.
His injuries had healed and did not hinder his movement.
What troubled Lu Ye was what to do with Manager Yang's storage bag. Leaving it behind made him feel reluctant.
This was Manager Yang's lifetime savings, containing many valuable items. Even without mentioning the rare minerals, which were worth a lot, he had no relatives or elders to take care of him in this world. Future cultivation would definitely consume a lot of resources, and with Manager Yang's legacy, he would not have to worry about resources in the early stages of his cultivation.
However, carrying it with him was also not appropriate. This was a world of cultivation, and the temptation of wealth often led to murder and theft. As a cultivator with only one acupoint open, carrying a valuable storage bag could easily make others have evil intentions.
After much deliberation, Lu Ye decided to take the storage bag. Wealth always comes with risks, and missing this opportunity, he might not have another chance to gain such a windfall.
Having made up his mind, Lu Ye returned to the place where he had killed Manager Yang and picked up his mining pick, which had been cut off at one end.
Since he had decided to take the storage bag, he could not leave the yuan magnetic ore behind, as it was still very valuable.
Swinging the mining pick, Lu Ye was drenched in sweat.
He had been mining for a year and was already very skilled. Now, with the support of spiritual energy, his efficiency was much higher than before.
Block after block of yuan magnetic ore was mined and stored in the storage bag.
Only when all the yuan magnetic ore was mined did Lu Ye put down the mining pick.
If everything went well, he would not need this tool again!
He took off his clothes, put the storage bag close to his body, and tied it with a cloth strip. This way, as long as he was not stripped and searched, the existence of the storage bag would not be exposed.
However, he took out Manager Yang's long sword in advance. The journey ahead might not be safe, and having a weapon in hand could help in emergencies.
With everything prepared, Lu Ye took a deep breath and followed his memory to head out.
He moved cautiously, afraid that an Evil Moon Valley cultivator might suddenly appear from the darkness, so he did not dare to move too fast to avoid exposing his presence.
However, what he feared came to pass. When he turned a corner in the dark and entered a mine tunnel, his body suddenly stiffened.
Not far ahead, a figure was leaning against the rock wall of the tunnel, breathing lightly.
The air was filled with a faint smell of blood…
Lu Ye wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The person turned his head and looked at Lu Ye, then exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Ye?"
Lu Ye's heart tightened. Being recognized in such darkness meant that this person was a cultivator, and someone who knew him was undoubtedly an Evil Moon Valley cultivator.
Indeed, if Manager Yang could think of hiding in the mine tunnel, other Evil Moon Valley cultivators could also think of it. There were likely many Evil Moon Valley people hidden in this mine vein.
His mind raced, and Lu Ye focused his spiritual energy on his eyes, finally recognizing the person's face.
It was a cultivator named Zhou Cheng from the mine, under the jurisdiction of Manager Yang, with a lower status and cultivation level than Manager Yang.
Zhou Cheng seemed to be injured, and the smell of blood was coming from him.
"Come over here!" Zhou Cheng called out in a low voice.
"Okay!" Lu Ye immediately responded and started walking toward Zhou Cheng, gradually speeding up.
Zhou Cheng immediately sensed something was wrong, mainly because Lu Ye was holding a sword, which made him frown and ask, "Where did you get that sword?"
This sword was clearly the sword of an Evil Moon Valley cultivator, and it was very suspicious for Lu Ye to have it.
Lu Ye did not answer, and he was only three zhang away from Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng finally sensed Lu Ye's killing intent, quickly stood up, and gritted his teeth, shouting, "I'll kill you, you little brat!"
Saying this, he raised his sword and stabbed at Lu Ye, infusing it with spiritual energy. In the darkness, a faint glow emanated from the sword.
This sword strike was not particularly sophisticated; it simply infused the sword with spiritual energy to enhance its lethality. Facing Lu Ye, a mere mortal, Zhou Cheng naturally felt he could do as he pleased.
The last person to think this way was Manager Yang, whose body was already rotting.
The sword's glow rapidly expanded in Lu Ye's field of vision. He fully activated his spiritual energy, focusing it on his eyes, and the world seemed to slow down.
Unlike when he ambushed Manager Yang using the yuan magnetic field, this was Lu Ye's first time facing a cultivator in a direct confrontation, leaving no room for hesitation or retreat.
Fortunately, this cultivator's cultivation was not high, and he was severely injured, which was why Lu Ye dared to have the intention to kill.
As the sword was about to strike, Lu Ye sidestepped, narrowly avoiding it. Then, he swung his sword upward, and at the same time, a mysterious and complex pattern flashed on the sword.
