Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1646 - 1644: Three Worlds Cultivators Enter the Sea

Yann Miao has Luan Xiao'e accompanying her, and it will still be seven days before they visit the Merfolk Territory again, giving Lu Ye a rare leisurely moment.

He dared not relax, as he needed to quickly enhance his own foundation.

Old Tang was preparing to reinforce the big array on the island, with many Array Masters mobilized and busy, so Lu Ye did not need to intervene.

He went to see Yiyi and Amber. Surprisingly, Yiyi was not cultivating; instead, she was chatting and laughing with Lih Shang, while Amber, lying nearby, sensed Lu Ye's approach and immediately opened its eyes and walked over, rubbing its large head against Lu Ye's hand.

After a few casual words, Lu Ye's expression turned serious: "Fellow Daoist, I still have some chores to handle on my end. Once they're done, we'll set off right away."

Lih Shang smiled slightly: "No rush. Just tend to your matters, and whenever you're ready, we can depart."

Lu Ye nodded, vaguely sensing that something was missing here, and suspiciously asked, "Where's Yaya?"

Normally, Yaya would be with Amber, but she was surprisingly absent this time, causing Lu Ye some puzzlement.

"She went out to play," replied Lih Shang.

Lu Ye didn't dwell on it too much and exchanged a few more words with Yiyi before leaving.

He walked to another place, which served as the pill-making room on Three Worlds Island, where Second Senior Sister and Hua Ci practiced alchemy.

The existence of the pill gourd was too sensitive to be widely known. Only a few people from the Righteous Blood Sect were aware of its true nature, while others had no idea.

In the past, alchemy was arduous because one had to constantly monitor the changes in the fire and be ready to add various herbs at any moment.

But now, with the pill gourd's assistance, refining elixir pills became much simpler; it only required putting the appropriate raw materials into the gourd, with no firelight seen at all.

Thus, Hua Ci and Shui Yuan's tasks were relatively easy.

Lu Ye came here mainly to deliver the blood and flesh of the Sun Blaze star beast, which was the primary material for refining Treasure Body Pills. Previously, they used spirit fish star beasts of Constellation level to make Treasure Body Pills, but using Sun Blaze Realm materials would definitely improve the effect.

When Lu Ye arrived, Shui Yuan warmly welcomed him, while Hua Ci cast a sidelong glance, half-smiling and said, "That woman... is not young, huh!"

Are you talking about her age or something? Lu Ye was baffled.

He quickly explained, "That lady is the Great Elder of the Merfolk Race!"

The words "Merfolk Race" piqued the interest of both women immediately.

Lu Ye briefly recounted the situation of the Merfolk Race.

Shui Yuan eagerly asked, "So in the future, if we lack materials for Treasure Body Pills, we can ask them for help?"

"We can simply purchase them," Lu Ye suggested, "or trade some elixir pills to offset the cost."

Shui Yuan said, "That makes sense. Buying materials from them and then refining them into elixir pills to sell back to them ensures that we'll never run out of materials for Treasure Body Pills."

Before, she was concerned about what to do when the materials in hand ran out, without knowing how Lu Ye acquired them. Now it seemed there was no need to worry. As long as the Merfolk Race was willing to help, they would have an endless supply of core ingredients for Treasure Body Pills.

Eventually, not only could they sell the pills, but the Three Worlds cultivators could also consume them to strengthen their physiques.

Moreover, the Treasure Body Pills derived from the pill gourd were flawless and highly effective, creating a scenario where magic cultivators possessed physiques no less than those of ordinary physique cultivators... Anyone who came looking for trouble would surely be in for a surprise.

The only regret was that the psyche refinement pills couldn't be made this way. Although there were many psyche refinement herbs, their source was limited; using them would mean having less. Priority had to be given to those in need, like Luan Xiao'e, who was preparing to break through to the Sun Blaze Realm.

Hua Ci seemed more interested in another matter: "Can we also enter the Divine Conch Hall?"

"I'll talk to Great Elder Yann Miao later on. It shouldn't be a problem. You guys prepare, and in a few days, I'll go to the Merfolk Territory again, and we can go together then."

"Alright," the two women agreed.

Leaving the fish meat of the Sun Blaze star beast there, Lu Ye departed.

During these seven days, he seized the opportunity to cultivate.

There was no need to travel far; he could simply enter the ocean here on Three Worlds Island, saving travel time. After all, they were all on the same side, so it didn't matter if someone saw him.

Arriving at the seaside, Lu Ye saw a small figure standing at the edge of a cliff.

Lu Ye was alarmed and quickly pulled her back, frowning, "Yaya, what are you doing?"

Yaya's expression was somewhat dazed, as if she had just woken up. She blinked her eyes, puckered her small lips, and her eyes turned red: "Daddy, I had a really scary dream!"

In broad daylight, she was dreaming and even came here in her dream.

She had mentioned something similar before.

Lu Ye felt something was amiss and began to question her carefully, but Yaya couldn't articulate it clearly, only saying that in her dream, villains attacked her, and it hurt a lot...

Lu Ye frowned.

Come to think of it, ever since Yaya found her second jade bangle inside the Mist Dragon, some changes seemed to have occurred.

Yaya used to be quite sleepy, but merely loved sleeping. Now her condition seemed more serious.

Lu Ye speculated if this was related to her second jade bangle.

This jade bangle must belong to Yaya, and recalling what Yaya just mentioned about the nightmare, Lu Ye suspected that the so-called nightmare might be something Yaya experienced in her past.

Is her memory recovering?

If so, it would be a good thing for Yaya. Regardless of her actual attitude towards herself after recovery, someone from the Sun Blaze Realm has fallen to such a state, which is ultimately somewhat tragic.

However...

"You can't run around alone anymore." Lu Ye reprimanded her with a lingering fear, seeing her near the edge of the cliff. What would happen if she fell?

"Okay." Yaya nodded obediently.

Lu Ye sent Yaya back and informed Lih Shang about what had just happened, who also felt a wave of concern.

Although she, like Lu Ye, knew that Yaya was indeed a Sun Blaze, having been called "dad" and "mom" for so long had inevitably sparked some affection.

She silently blamed herself and kept Yaya by her side, feeling melancholic because Yaya would eventually leave, and what would happen to her afterward?

Lu Ye's true self descended into the sea, leaving a doppelganger outside to watch, focusing on cultivation.

In a blink of an eye, seven days had passed, and Great Elder Yann Miao and Luan Xiao'e returned.

Yann Miao wanted to explore more, but matters of the tribe were ultimately more important, so she returned ahead of the agreed time with Lu Ye.

During those days, her eyes were truly opened; she had never imagined the world on the ocean could be so wonderful.

Such splendor is not meant to be enjoyed alone; true happiness is sharing it with one's tribe.

Her travels made Yann Miao realize one thing: she had gained too much advantage from the elixir pill trade with Lu Ye!

Even in the All Phenomena Ocean's largest All Phenomena Merchants Guild, Treasure Body Pills and psyche refinement pills were sold, but the quality was nowhere near what Lu Ye provided; supreme-grade elixir pills were incredibly scarce, especially supreme-grade psyche refinement pills, which were perpetually out of stock. It was said that when they were available, they were auctioned off, with many powerhouses scrambling for them.

After learning these things, her gratitude towards Lu Ye deepened.

A person who can help the tribe solve the Curse Poison problem and provide immense assistance to both her and the tribe will undoubtedly become the most important friend to the Merfolk Race.

So when she returned, and Lu Ye mentioned the matter of Divine Conch Hall, Yann Miao readily agreed without hesitation.

Lu Ye had been in Divine Conch Hall, and so had the specter, so it wasn't exclusively open to the Merfolk Race.

Lu Ye immediately had Luan Xiao'e start arranging personnel to prepare for entering the Merfolk Territory together.

Five hundred people from Three Worlds Island could not move all at once; most forces had to be left behind to guard Spirit Island. Under Luan Xiao'e's arrangement, the five hundred people were divided into five batches to enter sequentially.

No one was informed of the truth behind the test of Divine Conch Hall in advance, because such a test couldn't be passed through forewarning; no matter how good one's singing or playing, receiving the grace of Divine Conch Hall ultimately depended on personal destiny.

Lu Ye was sent into Divine Conch Hall by Bai Lu, completely unaware at the time.

Soon, the hundred selected participants began to gather, without much knowledge of what was happening, but none asked too many questions, all quietly waiting.

Among the crowd were Hua Ci, Shui Yuan, Yiyi, Yaya, and even Amber joined in for the fun. It was uncertain how it would pass the test after entering Divine Conch Hall.

In a large hall, everyone looked at Lu Ye, watching him take out a green sea conch and gently blow it.

Because of the prior experience of resisting the Insect Race and Blood Race outside Indeterminate, as soon as Lu Ye blew such a mysterious thing, everyone felt tense, fearing another Dancing Girl would appear to lead everyone into singing and dancing.

Fortunately, there was no Dancing Girl here; as the sound of the conch resonated, a portal appeared before Lu Ye.

"Great Elder leads the way!" Lu Ye announced.

Yann Miao nodded, assuming her rightful position, and was the first to step through.

Following that, over a hundred cultivators orderly entered the portal, disappearing one by one, finally leaving Tang Jun and Lu Ye.

Stepping through the portal, they immediately appeared in front of Divine Conch Hall. At this very moment, the cultivators from Three Worlds Island were in a frenzy, for they found themselves facing the Merfolk Race!

In front of Divine Conch Hall, several elders of the Merfolk Race along with Bai Lu and others were timed to wait there. The elders were not surprising; like Yann Miao, they seemed indifferent to the human race. But Bai Lu was truly captivating, with a human body and fish tail, her exotic charm leaving the cultivators of Three Worlds amazed. Bai Lu had never been stared at by such a crowd, her face turned red, and she hid behind the elders.

"Great Elder!" Lu Ye called out.

Yann Miao understood, immediately taking out an icy jade tablet from her storage ring, the very one that contained the sea conch seal.

Lu Ye didn't want to swim back again, though with treasure coins protecting him it wasn't too risky, the time spent was too long.

So he conceived a method to open the portal directly for a return to Three Worlds Island!

Taking the icy jade tablet handed by Yann Miao, Lu Ye promptly left a sea conch seal on it, then handed it to Tang Jun who came along.

Tang Jun said, "Then I'll be heading back first."

Speaking thus, he returned to Three Worlds Island through the portal.

In this manner, with the sea conch seal on the icy jade tablet, the next time Lu Ye blew the conch to open the portal, it would connect directly to Three Worlds Island.
