Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1636 - 1634: Just a Possibility

Though the profits from psyche refinement pills far exceed those from Treasure Body Pills, Lu Ye has plenty of psyche refinement herbs, so it's never wrong to keep such good stuff handy. It won't be too late to sell when needed in the future.

The profit from Treasure Body Pills can't compare to psyche refinement pills, but the raw materials are easy to find. Lu Ye can casually ask the merfolk for help and get plenty of spirit fish. Therefore, Lu Ye thinks that for now, it's best to only sell elixir pills made from materials easy to obtain; even so, it can still satisfy the needs of Three Worlds cultivators.

After some thought, Lu Ye said, "Although we won't sell them externally, psyche refinement pills must still be refined. Don't skimp on materials."

Because he often needed substances to nourish the psyche for his tempering in the green hall, he used to rely on psyche refinement herbs; now that it can be refined into psyche refinement pills, it's naturally more worthwhile.

Moreover, even Constellations can take psyche refinement pills to stabilize and enlarge their own psyche. An enhanced psyche is indeed greatly beneficial to cultivators.

Thus, while psyche refinement pills are not sold, their refinement must not cease. Refining elixir pills doesn't take much effort with a pill gourd—just input the corresponding raw materials and all output is supreme-grade elixir pills, entirely without impurities.

After speaking, Lu Ye simply handed all his psyche refinement herbs and numerous spirit fish to Hua Ci and Shui Yuan. With them around, he wouldn't worry about a shortage of elixir pills, so there's no need to keep the materials on him.

Shui Yuan and Hua Ci returned to their busy work. Since deciding on a plan to sell Treasure Body Pills to make a living, naturally they need to start refining a large quantity of elixir pills.

Lu Ye spent a day on Three Worlds Island. Calculating that it's about time, he was ready to head to Constellation Palace, when suddenly he had a thought.

Selling supreme-grade elixir pills is not a long-term business; it's due to lacking suitable partners, so he had to mix refining some top-grade ones for scattered selling.

Yet the merfolk race... aren't they suitable partners?

With them, Lu Ye doesn't have to worry about being targeted, regardless of what he sells.

Moreover, the merfolk are wealthy! They possess such a vast Spirit Jade Vein, having lived there for countless years. The accumulated wealth is probably beyond imagination.

However, the merfolk rarely use spirit jade, thus seldom mine the vein.

Lu Ye also plans to treat the merfolk as allies of Three Worlds Island; should he truly help them solve the Curse Power of their Bloodline inheritance, then Three Worlds Island would have a whole tribe backing them. Even if someone attacked, there would be no worries about lacking sufficient strength for defense.

Selling them some elixir pills to enhance and strengthen their power can also fortify Three Worlds Island's defenses—two birds, one stone!

On that note, Lu Ye still owes the merfolk some spirit jade... In the past, when leaving All Phenomena Ocean, Lu Ye was low on funds. He borrowed some spirit jade from the merfolk and, upon this meeting, they didn't ask for repayment.

He can use elixir pills to repay the debt!

Thinking this, Lu Ye quickly found Shui Yuan and Hua Ci who were refining elixir pills. In one day, the two women, even with the pill gourd, hadn't produced many elixir pills, only a scarce hundred of Treasure Body and psyche refinement pills combined.

Lu Ye packed them up and returned to his sleeping hall, took out the green sea conch, and blew it.

The portal opened, and he stepped through.

When he returned to his senses, he was standing in Constellation Palace.

"Young friend, you're here," Yann Miao stood beside him.

Lu Ye nodded gently, then looked not far away. At this moment, Bai Lu and two other tribespeople were each seated in corners of Constellation Palace, their energy fluctuating erratically.

Lu Ye sensed a bit and said, "Congratulations, your tribe has three more Moon Jade cultivators!"

Bai Lu and the others had evidently succeeded in advancing, their energy oscillating was clearly mana's fluctuation, only because of having just advanced, their realm was unstable, making it hard to control their power, thus the fluctuations were obvious.

Yann Miao was visibly pleased, smiling softly, "We really must thank the young friend's help. The Divine Temple indeed aids cultivators to advance to Moon Jade; I originally thought there might be failures this time, yet everything went smoothly."

She wasn't too concerned about Bai Lu's advancement, as his accumulation was sufficient. The other two tribespeople were somewhat lagging compared to Bai Lu, hence Yann Miao continuously worried about their success in advancing.

If advancement fails, the outcome wouldn't be good, because the process of advancing to Moon Jade involves the metamorphosis of a cultivator's spirit force into mana. If this process completes, all is well; if stuck halfway, internal energy morphs into neither spirit force nor mana. The cultivator might lose much strength, having no hope of reaching the upper realm, or in severe cases, energy imbalance could result in immediate death.

But her concerns never materialized; not to mention Bai Lu, even the two slightly lagging tribespeople advanced smoothly here, without a hitch.

This is clearly the temple's effect.

"Great Elder is too kind. My camaraderie with your tribe is unwavering; this small matter is just a gesture. Should anyone from your tribe need to advance to Moon Jade in the future, feel free to call me."

Yann Miao expressed gratitude again, "In the future there will inevitably be times we'll trouble the young friend. Young friend, please wait, I'll summon them."

"No hurry," Lu Ye stopped her.

Yann Miao looked over suspiciously.

Lu Ye pondered, thinking about where exactly to start, and finally decided to speak: "Great Elder, I once heard the princess talk about the Curse Poison in your noble bloodline inheritance. Because of this Curse Power, nobles can only live under the All Phenomena Ocean and cannot leave this special environment."

"Yes." Yann Miao's expression turned somber at the mention: "In the past, our ancestors offended a powerful figure and were thus afflicted with this Curse Power, passed down through generations without change."

"What happens if they leave the All Phenomena Ocean?" Lu Ye asked.

Yann Miao said, "According to ancestral records, clan members once left the All Phenomena Ocean, but shortly after leaving, their blood Qi dried up and they perished. This happened more than once; in the thousand years following the initial curse, several members left, all meeting the same fate. Among them were not only Constellations, but also Moon Jades and even a Sun Blaze!"

Lu Ye was horrified, "Even a Sun Blaze couldn't resist that Curse Power?"

What kind of person did the Merfolk Race's ancestors offend to possess such transcendent means? This Curse Poison is incredibly potent, forcing this Merfolk branch to live under the All Phenomena Ocean like star beasts.

"Why is little friend suddenly mentioning this matter?" Yann Miao asked.

Lu Ye considered his words: "Well, I have a small ability that might... perhaps help you solve this issue."

Seeing Yann Miao's look of surprised delight mixed with shock, he quickly added, "Of course, it's just a possibility. I'm not sure if it will work, so we have to try to find out. But rest assured, Great Elder, even if it doesn't work, it will only cause some damage without endangering life, which can be restored with a little rest afterward."

Yann Miao became even more excited: "Is what little friend said true?"

"Just a possibility!" Lu Ye reiterated seriously.

He wasn't sure if the Talent Tree would work, and couldn't guarantee anything, afraid of causing disappointment.

Yann Miao exclaimed, "Even if it's just a possibility, it's worth trying. Our race has waited too long for this opportunity!"

Despite suspecting Lu Ye might be the one to solve his clan's dilemma, Yann Miao never detected any sign of Lu Ye possessing such power. He thought maybe Lu Ye's cultivation level wasn't yet sufficient, pondering if he would gain any means after advancing to Sun Blaze. To his surprise, Lu Ye mentioned this matter today.

Even as a Moon Jade Late Stage, Yann Miao couldn't suppress his excitement.

"What does little friend plan to do? How should my clan cooperate?" Yann Miao asked eagerly.

Lu Ye pondered and said, "If the Great Elder doesn't mind, can I take a look at your body?" As soon as he spoke, he realized it sounded inappropriate, so he quickly corrected, "I mean, can I look at your Bloodline?"

Yann Miao didn't realize Lu Ye's slip of the tongue and nodded immediately, "Little friend, please feel free." Because she didn't know how to cooperate with Lu Ye herself.

Lu Ye stepped forward and extended his hand, "Great Elder, please extend your hand!"

Yann Miao extended a small, snow-white hand onto Lu Ye's.

Lu Ye cautioned her, "Please, Great Elder, do not activate your mana. It may feel uncomfortable, but please endure."

With that, he activated the power of his Talent Tree and allowed it to flow into Yann Miao through their hand contact.

Yann Miao's brow furrowed slightly because she felt an intense warmth spreading from Lu Ye. Oddly, despite the heat, it felt gentle and not violent, burning certain things within her body.

Because she didn't resist, even suppressing the flow of mana, she felt some minor physical damage, although it was negligible and her cultivation level would allow a quick recovery, so she didn't worry much about it.

As the scorching power continued to burn, Yann Miao's expression changed subtly. She could vaguely feel something innate to her being was disappearing, accompanied by a strange ease of body and mind.

When she looked inward, she even saw peculiar mist rising from her flesh!

It was effective!

She immediately appeared pleasantly surprised. Although she didn't know what Lu Ye had done or what power he had invoked, the strange mist was clearly the Curse Power hidden within her Bloodline!

At this moment, the Curse Power was being incinerated, making her feel light both in body and mind, as if some invisible shackle that had held her was loosening.

After a moment, Lu Ye withdrew his hand.

Yann Miao looked at him with a sense of unfinished expectation, clearly hoping Lu Ye would continue.

Lu Ye had stopped because he didn't know if this would have any effect on Yann Miao. Unlike purging impurities from his own body where he could see changes in the Talent Tree, helping others didn't provide a direct insight, so he had to ask Yann Miao.
