Chapter 1333: Status Promotion

After Ye Liuyun finished his calculations, he planned to wait a day and then break through to Body Refining First Layer, and after another five or six days, break through to Body Refining Second Layer.

This pace also matches the normal cultivation speed of a Martial Cultivator. In this tribe, it is considered above average.

The reason many people here have low realms is the lack of resources. Their cultivation speed is not slow either.

When Ye Liuyun appeared again the next day, many people greeted him more politely.

A Xing explicitly told Ye Liuyun, "From now on you are officially a member of our tribe. You are my kin, no longer my slave!"

"Why?" Ye Liuyun asked, still a bit puzzled.

"Now that you've started cultivating, your status naturally has to be raised!" A Xing thought it was perfectly normal.

"Oh!" Ye Liuyun replied, realizing that beginning cultivation also brings this benefit.

"Why aren't you happy?" A Xing, seeing Ye Liuyun's flat reaction, felt no excitement.

"Perhaps you never treated me as a servant, so I don't feel much difference!" Ye Liuyun explained.

"Then why don't you quickly thank me for not bullying you?" A Xing said with a mischievous smile.

Ye Liuyun laughed, "You say, how should I thank you?"

A Xing actually thought for a moment, "Take me hunting? I haven't had meat these past few days and I'm getting cravings!"

"Alright!" Ye Liuyun readily agreed.

He just realized that A Xing's realm had risen to Body Refinement Fourth Level.

"Huh, your realm advanced? Congratulations!" Ye Liuyun congratulated her.

"How did you know my realm advanced?" A Xing asked in surprise.

At that moment Ye Liuyun realized he had unintentionally shown a slip.

He currently has no realm, how could he possibly discern A Xing's advancement!

Fortunately, thinking quickly, he fabricated a reason: "My eyes can see others' realms!"

"Oh!" A Xing seemed to have an epiphany.

"I told you those Golden Pupils were special! Indeed they have a unique use!"

It seemed she had guessed correctly, and she felt quite proud.

Ye Liuyun kept nodding, praising her intelligence, and steered the conversation elsewhere.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun led A Xing and Ye Tiandao out of the tribe to hunt.

"Your luck is unbelievable! We barely went far and already caught a bear, a bison, and five rabbits! That's more than a whole squad's haul!" A Xing found it somewhat incredible.

In fact, Ye Liuyun had already tried to restrain himself as much as possible.

His Divine Sense spread out, encompassing ferocious beasts within several thousand li, all within his sight; none could escape.

In A Xing's eyes, Ye Tiandao again displayed his trademark smile.

"Don't say otherwise, the maid you captured, her sword technique is truly impressive!" A Xing praised Ye Tiandao.

Ye Tiandao cultivates sword intent; even without True Essence, when she wields a blade, her aura differs greatly from ordinary people.

And that's even while she is holding herself back.

Otherwise, even without True Essence, Martial Cultivators at the Creation Realm Mid Stage could not withstand the full burst of her sword intent.

"Of course, otherwise why would I have taken her under my command!" Ye Liuyun said with a smile, merely to distract A Xing.

A Xing's attention stayed on the prey, and she soon forgot about Ye Tiandao.

Next, Ye Liuyun let A Xing lead the way; they later hunted a deer and a wolf, making the day's harvest plentiful.

The few of them returned to the tribe in high spirits.

But just as they were about to leave the forest, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected that on their return path, members of another tribe were lying in ambush ahead.

Among them were two Martial Cultivators at the Primordial Origin Early Stage.

Martial Cultivators of this realm ambushing them should, in theory, be foolproof.

Ye Liuyun was curious why they came after whom and how they knew they were here.

So he planned to capture a living target for Soul Search to learn the opponent's information.

If not for fearing A Xing would notice, he could now launch a Spiritual Soul Attack from afar and immediately unleash Beast Soul.

"How about we have a competition?" Ye Liuyun suddenly suggested.

"What competition?" A Xing indeed showed interest.

Before we leave, let's spend half an hour to contest who can kill the most valuable prey within that time.

For fairness, I'll pair you two. Dare you compete?

Ye Liuyun even employed provocation.

"What's there not to dare? Let's compete!" A Xing readily agreed.

Ye Tiandao saw Ye Liuyun's intention. She had already spotted the group that ambushed them.

Thus she led A Xing in the opposite direction, giving Ye Liuyun a chance to act.

After Ye Liuyun waited until they were far away, he rushed to the ambush site and, using spatial power, instantly transferred those people into his Space World.

Except for the leader, the others were directly hit with Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, blowing up their core pills.

He then performed Soul Search on the leader.

"So they were using tamed ferocious beasts to scout information!"

After the Soul Search, Ye Liuyun recalled that when they left, an Azure Hawk was circling in the distant sky.

He also learned that those people came from a medium-sized tribe called Luo Clan. They intended to expand into a high-level tribe, thus attempting to kidnap A Xing and force their entire tribe to surrender.

Having gathered enough information, Ye Liuyun fed those people to an Evil Dragon.

Then he returned to the spot where he had separated from A Xing, waiting for them to come back.

Ye Tiandao brought A Xing, hunted and killed another brown bear, and only then returned.

"Yes, we won!" A Xing exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Ye Liuyun with empty hands.

"Alright, you won; tonight I'll grill meat for you, even if it means losing the bet!" Ye Liuyun laughed.

However, A Xing gave him a white-eye: "What kind of bet is this? You're clearly just being a rascal!"

"Count it!" Ye Tiandao suddenly spoke up, also telling A Xing: "You'll know once you've eaten it! It's delicious!"

"Really?" A Xing said dubiously: "We agreed beforehand—if the grilled meat isn't tasty, then the bet doesn't count!"

"Okay!" Ye Liuyun readily agreed, then led them back to the tribe.

The Azure Hawk continued to circle in the sky.

Ye Liuyun pointed at the Azure Hawk and told A Xing: "If you can shoot down that Azure Hawk, I'll give you a medium-grade spirit stone."

"Really?" A Xing glanced at the Azure Hawk and confirmed with Ye Liuyun.

"Of course!" Ye Liuyun answered affirmatively.
