Lu Ye was willing to interact with the Shura Order imprint with Arbuluo and Gu Sheng not because of their great strength, but because he vaguely felt that they had something to discuss with him.

It was only because he denied his identity that they did not bring it up.

Lu Ye didn't know what they wanted, but there was no harm in hearing them out.

Also, Lu Ye had his own plans. From the previous encounter with Arbuluo, it was evident that this guy had condensed the Body Flower, and with the unique environment of the Ancient Savages world, he was highly likely to know the Secret of the Three Blossoms.

To condense the Qi Flower would require the Perfection of the Magic Source; this was merely Lu Ye's speculation, but if he could get some solid information from Arbuluo, it would undoubtedly be a great help to him.

This time, even if Arbuluo didn't seek him out, he was prepared to find an opportunity to interact with Arbuluo. Therefore, Gu Sheng's suggestion of the interactive imprint was exactly what he wanted, and he wouldn't refuse.

After Arbuluo and Gu Sheng left, Lu Ye pondered for a moment before accepting the bounty task of detoxifying a group of people.

After a short wait, a sallow-skinned, weak-blooded person walked in. Lu Ye could tell at a glance that this person's situation was dire because their blood Qi was severely depleted.

Lu Ye couldn't tell what this person's cultivation was originally, but even if some cultivation remained, with such depleted blood Qi, they wouldn't be able to display much strength.

The bounty task stated that the person was afflicted with a strange poison that consumed blood Qi, of unknown origin, and that no one could cure it so far.

In this grand Asura Field, there were certainly a lot of healing cultivators. Since the other party could afford to pay thirty thousand Asura Seals, they must have sought out many healing cultivators, yet they still looked neither human nor ghostly, clearly indicating that those they'd sought for help were helpless.

The person sat down, coughing lightly like a terminally ill ordinary man, with dim eyes full of hope as they looked at Lu Ye.

Their bounty task had been hanging on the bounty list for years without anyone taking it. They had already resigned to fate, when suddenly a miracle happened.

The person who took the task must have confidence in their own methods if they dared to accept it.

However, upon sizing Lu Ye up, their expression turned strange, as they initially thought the one taking the task would be a healing cultivator. Yet judging by appearances, the solid build of the man across from them didn't quite match that of a healing cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist..." they wheezed, "This strange poison in me has been consuming my blood Qi for many years now..."

"Hand over." Lu Ye instructed.

The person immediately extended their hand, continuing to describe their condition while Lu Ye examined it, hoping to give Lu Ye a clearer and more direct judgment.

Lu Ye didn't listen at all. If he were a real healing cultivator, this information would undoubtedly be important, but he simply wasn't one.

After probing for a while, Lu Ye spoke, "There may be some pain; please endure it!"

The person nodded, "I can endure it!"

Having been tormented by the strange poison for so many years, they had endured all kinds of hardships and had a heart as solid as a rock.

Lu Ye immediately activated the power of the Talent Tree, and invisible roots extended from his palm, penetrating into the cultivator's body, gently burning away the power of the strange poison inside.

In those days, the curse poison power inherited from the Merfolk Race's bloodline could be burned away with the Talent Tree; what could these strange poisons amount to now?

However, this person's physical condition was truly poor, so Lu Ye had to act carefully; otherwise, he might accidentally cause them to suddenly die.

This cultivator had a truly resilient heart. The burning process by the Talent Tree entailed significant pain, yet they stayed silent, only gritting their teeth, their body covered in sweat.

As time passed, their eyes gradually brightened because they could feel the strange poison plaguing them for years truly diminishing.

It felt like a flowing flame within their body; wherever it burned, there new life sprang forth.

Burning away such strange poison was much easier than helping the Merfolk Race burn away the curse poison within their bloodline. Nonetheless, it took Lu Ye half a day to finish the job.

Once he withdrew his hand, the cultivator closed their eyes, concentrating to perceive their body's condition.

Still extremely weak, due to years of being plagued by the strange poison. However, their blood Qi was no longer being sapped. With Mana, it flowed smoothly with no signs of blockage, which indisputably meant that with adequate rest, recovery was inevitable.

Opening their eyes, wildly overjoyed, they bowed deeply to Lu Ye, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, your marvelous hands saved me from a dire situation; this kindness will be remembered deeply in my heart."

Lu Ye waved it off, "Just earning my pay."

The person wished to interact with the Shura Order imprint alongside Lu Ye, eager to build connections, but Lu Ye politely declined.

Regretfully, they had no choice but to leave and prepare for a good recovery.

After this person had gone, Lu Ye surveyed the bounty list again and took on similar tasks.

A day later, Lu Ye left the Reward Hall, having found no more suitable tasks for himself on the bounty list. It wasn't worth staying longer.

Returning to his cave residence, Lu Ye checked his Asura Authority Token and found that the accumulated Asura Seals had exceeded seven million. Feeling cheerful, he quietly resolved to visit the Reward Hall often, as he might unexpectedly find a suitable and simple task.

Seven million Asura Seals; based on the price of treasures in the Asura Field, he could even exchange for six pieces of the White Moon Crystal he once refined.

However, Lu Ye did not immediately exchange them but took out a storage ring, extracting everything inside it.

These were treasures that Walnut previously exchanged for him, which could enhance the quality of his Magic Source, along with the Green Moon Spirit Marrow given to him by Nan Lian, totaling a value of four million Asura Seals.

If converted to spirit jade, of course, it's not worth much; forty million spirit jades are not a significant figure for Lu Ye currently, but these are good things that cannot be bought with spirit jade. Only in the Asura Field, where there are many treasures, can one exchange for anything as long as there are enough Asura Seals.

Lu Ye increasingly felt that his decision to come to the Asura Field was the right one; otherwise, he wouldn't find such good fortunes relying solely on waiting and collecting in the All Phenomena Ocean.

He immediately began refining these treasures one by one in front of him. With the power of the Talent Tree activated, refining these treasures was simple and easy, merely consuming some fuel reserves.

A short time later, Lu Ye felt a noticeable change in his Magic Source.

He immediately took out a piece of spirit jade, and this time he did not activate the power of the Talent Tree but rather refined it himself, which is the normal way of cultivation for all cultivators.

He could feel strands of power seeping from the spirit jade, infiltrating his body, and under the operation of his Magic Source, it transformed from spirit force into mana, stored within himself.

Unfortunately, he seldom used this normal method of cultivation before, lacking a precise comparison, so he didn't know how much the quality of his Magic Source had improved.

To have an accurate comparison, he must return to the All Phenomena Ocean; only by going deep underwater can he have a clear judgment.

However, it's certain that although the quality of his Magic Source had improved, it was far from its ultimate extent, with much room for enhancement.

Looking at the seven million Asura Seals on the Asura Authority Token, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and decided to hold onto them for the time being.

After all, refining those treasures was quite easy; he could exchange for them whenever he needed, and keeping the Asura Seals could also serve as a contingency, as they might be needed at any unexpected time.

The ease of earning Asura Seals this time would not be so simple in the future; it would require repeated training and gradual accumulation.

Leaving the cave residence, Lu Ye leaped upward.

Several days had passed since the last training session, and now that the Moon Jade Ranking had settled, naturally, Lu Ye was preparing for the next round of training.

In this Asura Field, training not only serves as a personal honing exercise but also allows earning Asura Seals to exchange for resources, which is why many cultivators stop here for years unwilling to leave.

Even places where multiple star systems converge, like the All Phenomena Ocean, are not as attractive as the Asura Field in many aspects.

As his figure ascended, Lu Ye's expression remained calm.

The last training was not too difficult, and he did not know how it would be this time. In theory, every training session a cultivator undergoes carries a risk of demise, even strong cultivators like Gu Sheng suffered severe injuries in the last training.

But Lu Ye felt that at the level of the Moon Jade Realm, nothing should threaten him, so he didn't know what sort of training scenario the Asura Field would arrange for him. Such matters could not be predicted in advance and only maintained a state of vigilance.

Upon reaching a certain height, the same experience as last time appeared once more.

The surrounding scenery abruptly changed, throwing him into complete darkness.

Suddenly, within the darkness, a beam of light rose, faint fuzzy images appearing.

Lu Ye concentrated intently ahead; having experienced it last time, he naturally understood that everything he now saw and heard would form the backdrop of the next training session, so he would not be careless.

As he waited, the blurry images unexpectedly twisted and changed.

Lu Ye frowned, uncertain of what was happening.

Just as he was in confusion, a faint sound brushed by his ears, but the sound seemed to be disturbed by some force, becoming indistinct and intermittent.

The blurry images before him twisted more frequently, Lu Ye widened his eyes, unable to discern what the images actually depicted.

This...

Lu Ye was bewildered, momentarily entertained an absurd thought, perhaps something went wrong with the Asura Field?

It wasn't unjust for him to think that way, as what he saw was too strange - no visible images and no audible sound, was simply inexplicable.

Suddenly, his entire being plunged back into darkness, even the intermittent, unclear sound at his ears vanished as well.

Lu Ye was totally enveloped in darkness, as if thrown into a bottomless pit, the environment inexplicably causing unease, oppressive.

"Is anyone there?" he shouted.

Yet he couldn't hear his own voice.

He tried to move but couldn't take a step.

Something had gone wrong, this Asura Field... might indeed have encountered some issue, for otherwise, there would not be such a situation.
