In the blink of an eye, several days passed. Lu Ye left Xiyuan Pavilion and returned to Immortal Spirit Peak, informing Su Yuqing of his plans.

"You want to go to that Asura Field?" Su Yuqing looked at him in surprise, "Why this sudden idea?"

She was the one who had told Lu Ye about the Asura Field. When Lu Ye had returned last time, pondering the future development of Nine Provinces cultivators, Su Yuqing mentioned the Asura Field. It was originally a stellar space supreme treasure belonging to the Heavenly Shura clan. After the clan was wiped out, the treasure became ownerless, and for countless millennia, no one was able to gain its recognition.

At its peak, the Heavenly Shura clan had enslaved hundreds of surrounding star systems, amassing enormous wealth. Before the clan's fall, they had thrown all their wealth into the Asura Field.

Since then, the Asura Field has been one of the most important training grounds for stellar space cultivators. There, those who pass various trials can obtain something called the Asura Seal, which can be used to exchange for any needed treasure from the vault within the Asura Field.

The mechanism is exactly like the merit system and Heaven's Augury treasure vault of the Nine Provinces.

Su Yuqing said the Asura Field has affiliated treasures whose effectiveness is very similar to the Asura Field itself, making them undoubtedly suitable for the future development of the Nine Provinces. Lu Ye held it in mind but was not in a hurry, planning instead to promote to Moon Jade Late Stage in the All Phenomena Ocean before going.

However, upon returning to the All Phenomena Ocean, he encountered provocation from Zixuan, up till now.

One could say even without the Qi Flower incident, Lu Ye intended to make a trip to the Asura Field. He wants to try and bring back that affiliated treasure; if he succeeds, the future of the Nine Provinces wouldn't be something to worry about. With Number Nine hosting the affiliated treasure of the Asura Field, the Nine Provinces would have unrestrained growth from Divine Sea to Spirit Stream.

After brief explanations, Su Yuqing immediately understood the situation. She hadn't thought that the condensation of the Qi Flower actually involved the Magic Source.

Obtaining treasures that can enhance the quality of Magic Source is not easy; too many people desire them.

But certainly, the Asura Field has them. If Lu Ye can acquire enough Asura Seals, he can use them to exchange for the treasures he needs to enhance his Magic Source.

And that affiliated treasure... so, it seems the Asura Field is indeed a place Lu Ye has to visit.

After listening to Lu Ye's explanations, Su Yuqing nodded slightly, "It'll be good for you to see it for yourself. While the All Phenomena Ocean is lively, it is more about the gathering and contesting of various forces. The Asura Field is different; it's a gathering place for cultivators aiming to enhance themselves. You should gain considerable insight there."

She did not try to dissuade Lu Ye from his plan to head to the Asura Field. Indeed, such journeys come with certain risks, but if one merely craves peace, Lu Ye would not have achieved the renown he has now.

"A man can lack wealth or power, but must not lack ambition."

"There should be quite a few records about the Asura Field in Xiyuan Pavilion. Have you looked at them?" Su Yuqing asked.

"I have, and they're all committed to memory!" Lu Ye nodded at his head; having decided to head to the Asura Field, the intelligence from the field could not be neglected. He had recently come across these records and naturally took note of them.

"Before you go, seek out Senior Brother Chen again," suggested Su Yuqing.

"Why?" Lu Ye was puzzled.

Su Yuqing explained, "Senior Brother Chen visited the Asura Field when he was younger; he knows its conditions better than anyone. You should ask him for some experience."

Lu Ye's eyes brightened, "Senior Brother Chen ventured into the Asura Field? I must indeed seek his advice."

The intelligence recorded in Xiyuan Pavilion was extensive, but nothing beats consulting Chen Xuanhai face-to-face.

Thinking of Chen Xuanhai, Lu Ye couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Chen had his reckless days, huh?"

Su Yuqing smiled warmly, "Don't be fooled by Senior Brother Chen's current steadiness; he was quite spirited when young, wandering all around Mount Fangcun. Whenever he'd arrive in a star system, he'd go out looking for fights. Several times he suffered losses, with black and blue beatings, returning only to be punished by his master with months of kneeling."

Lu Ye listened, stupefied.

Su Yuqing stretched out her hand, summoned an ancient longsword, and handed it to Lu Ye, saying, "Senior Brother Chen was good with swords. When young, he dreamed of becoming a sword cultivator. Unfortunately, due to our Dwarf Race's unique physique, he couldn't truly pursue the sword cultivation path. Take this when you meet him; he should like it."

Lu Ye received the longsword, pulling it out casually, seeing the blade shine coldly—a truly exquisite sword.

He recalled Chen Xuanhai's appearance when fighting adversaries, seemingly wielding a talisman sword, with sword energy pouring down like rain. If not for his Dwarf Race heritage, Chen Xuanhai could have been an excellent sword cultivator.

Stepping forward, Lu Ye held Su Yuqing's face, and in her startled gaze, planted a kiss, then turned to leave, saying, "I'm off!"

Watching Lu Ye's departing silhouette, Su Yuqing touched her cheek, dazed.

Cloud Sea Peak, bearing his sword, Lu Ye soon found Chen Xuanhai and presented the gift, causing Chen Xuanhai to break into a smile, stroking the longsword, "Junior Sister Su truly favors you. I've asked her for this several times, yet she never gave it. How easily she gifts it away for you now tells me you want something from me."

He clearly knew that unexpected kindness likely had a motive. Lu Ye wouldn't merely visit him with such a gift.

Being familiar long enough, there was no need for false formalities.

"That's how it is, Senior Brother. I'm planning to go to the Asura Field. Yuqing said that you once made a remarkable name for yourself by navigating through the Asura Field with ease, and you're the most knowledgeable about it. So I'm here today to learn from you. I'd be grateful if you could share your wisdom!" Lu Ye clasped his fists, looking very humble.

"Ah, the Asura Field..." Chen Xuanhai couldn't help but reminisce about those glorious days, his gaze full of remembrance. "It truly is a great place for training."

Lu Ye stayed on Cloud Sea Peak for several days before leaving, during which time he discovered another lesser-known flaw of Chen Xuanhai.

That is, once he had a drink, he liked to boast extravagantly.

Claiming he could weave in and out seven times amidst enemy lines, defeating thousands, leaving them running in panic.

Facing strong opponents without flinching, defeating them despite the odds, and then leaving in style.

There were even a few bouts involving emotional entanglements with beauties of different races.

Perhaps these events did happen, but the scenes were likely not as grand and majestic as Chen Xuanhai described.

After departing from Cloud Sea Peak, Lu Ye fell into deep thought.

Where did the steady Chen Xuanhai go...? Indeed, some people can only be truly understood once you really get to know them.

Back at Immortal Spirit Peak, Su Yuqing was waiting and handed him a token.

Lu Ye took it to inspect, finding it was her own jade tablet, with a lingering wisp of her aura, condensed and unswerving.

"I have a dear friend from the Boundless World, called Water Fairy. A few years ago when our main sect passed through the Boundless World, she expressed a desire to visit the Asura Field. But whether she actually went, I am unsure. If she is there, and you encounter any trouble, show this token to her. On my behalf, she will not stand by idly."

Su Yuqing eagerly reminded him, feeling her concern, Lu Ye was moved: "I will remember." He carefully put away the jade tablet.

Su Yuqing continued: "The Asura Field has its own rules. Although with your current strength, you likely won't encounter very dangerous situations, it's always best to be cautious."

Saying this, she took out a red talisman: "I recently crafted this; take it along too."

Lu Ye accepted and held her hand: "Your kindness, sister, I cannot repay. I fear the only way is to offer myself, hoping you won't disdain my humble appearance."

Su Yuqing couldn't help but laugh, poking his forehead with her other hand: "Don't be cheeky!"

Lu Ye's head tilted from her poke.

Shortly thereafter, Lu Ye soared into the sky, and in front of Immortal Spirit Palace, Su Yuqing quietly watched him depart.

Just outside Mount Fangcun, he immediately spotted three figures standing together, whispering among themselves until Lu Ye appeared, and they quickly straightened up.

Lu Ye glanced at the three of them: "Did you bring everyone back?"

Xiang Yin promptly bowed: "Returning to Venerable Lord, following your orders, my sister and I went to Jade Conch World, delivered the necessary resources, and selected five hundred constellations from Jade Conch to bring back. Now they are all settled inside."

Dhing Beifeng stood foolishly in place until Lu Ye's gaze fell on him, and he quickly came to his senses: "It's the same for me!" He had gone to Qingli Dao World.

Lu Ye nodded: "Well done."

Upon hearing the praise, Xiang Yin's eyes brightened, coquettishly saying: "Since Venerable Lord said it's good, then it surely is. As your blood servants, we naturally wish to relieve your burdens and offer our loyal service."

"Your mouth..." Lu Ye raised his hand to point at her.

"Is it sweet?" Xiang Yin giggled, lifting a delicate finger to her lips, with a flirtatious glance, "It can be even sweeter; would Venerable Lord like to try?"

Lu Ye, maintaining his sage-like demeanor, completely ignored her allure: "So, tell me, what reward do you want?" It was obvious the three blood servants waiting here had intentions.

Xiang Yin said: "Being able to serve Venerable Lord is already a blessing for us; we dare not ask for rewards..." Just as she said this, seeing Lu Ye lifting his foot to leave, Xiang Yin hastily grabbed his arm: "Venerable Lord, we wish to follow you to the All Phenomena Ocean!"

"What for!" Lu Ye glanced at her and pulled his arm back, otherwise, this woman would surely cling to him.

Sure enough, all three blood servants were in the Moon Jade Late Stage, possessing formidable combat power. But the rules set by the five Moon Jade governors at All Phenomena Ocean are clear; going there wouldn't be of much help. It's better to stay here in the Nine Provinces, so when he returns, he has people to use. Just like this time, if it weren't for their effort, Lu Ye would have had to personally go to Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch World, which would be quite a waste of time.

Of course, asking the dwarf race's Moon Jade to intervene is also an option, but doing so is not as convenient as commanding his own blood servants, is it?
