Chapter 1753: Free Bandit Suppression
After cleaning up the battlefield, Lei Ming complained bitterly: "What a bunch of poor ghosts."
"Besides their weapons, only their storage rings were valuable!"
"Physical body and Golden Core are also resources! You don't want them, I do!"
The Black Panther collected those corpses as well, storing them as food supplies.
The Golden Core was split with Long Nv.
Even a first-layer Martial Cultivator's Golden Core was energy to them.
Lei Ming, Long Nv, and Ye Liuyun had all grown accustomed to it, firmly refusing to eat people, but the Black Panther had no qualms about that.
Ye Liuyun didn't bother with him either; he also needed such a savage, ferocious Monster Beast by his side.
"Is that it?"
Lei Ming still felt somewhat unsatisfied.
"How could it be! Outside Jinmen Guan, bandits run rampant."
"I've decided to help Jinmen Guan exterminate bandits for free—what do you think?"
Ye Liuyun laughed.
"Haha, I just love exterminating bandits!"
Lei Ming burst out laughing upon hearing that.
The others also smiled, knowing there were more resources to harvest!
For them, it was a win-win: they could hone their skills and gain resources.
So Ye Liuyun took out his Flying Boat, brought everyone, and followed the map's markers, heading to each location in turn.
The bandit forces outside Jinmen Guan were few in number; the largest gang had only over five hundred members.
But almost every gang had a Third Layer Realm Martial Cultivator leading it.
It's just a pity that, against the Magic Vine, these people were utterly insignificant.
Ye Liuyun spent half a month and wiped out the seven largest gangs here.
Moreover, for more than half the time they were just on the road; each battle lasted no more than two hours.
Their haul was also unexpectedly large.
Among the seized resources, they actually found five Intent Crystal Stones.
Moreover, those five Crystal Stones were actually usable by Ye Liuyun and his group.
Two Flame Intent Crystal Stones were divided between Ye Liuyun and his clone.
One Sword Intent Crystal Stone was given to Man Shu.
One Fist Intent Crystal Stone was given to Long Nv.
One Diamond Intent Crystal Stone was given to the Black Panther to strengthen its physical body.
Not only those Intent Crystal Stones, but the Divine Crystals looted by the bandits amounted to six hundred million, piling up into a small mountain in Ye Liuyun's Space World.
Medicinal pills, weapons, and various other resources were countless, far richer than the Black Tiger Gang and the Profound Ice Palace!
"Sigh! I truly want to become a bandit with you, little brother!"
Lei Ming, after seeing all that wealth, sighed again.
"Haha, don't rush—we'll go back and rest a bit; there's more to come!"
Ye Liuyun laughed.
"Not over yet?"
Lei Ming immediately got excited again.
Ye Liuyun nodded, telling them to return to the Xuan Kong Stone to speed up their cultivation.
He then piloted the Flying Boat back to the Shanghui Zhongxin at Jinmen Guan.
When Ye Liuyun returned, the sky had already turned completely dark.
After Lan Xin cultivated for a while that night, she went to bathe, preparing to sleep comfortably.
During the three days Ye Liuyun previously stayed, he hadn't slept in a bed at all, but had been cultivating nonstop in the Cultivation Room.
The so-called suite here refers to a room with a Cultivation Room, a bathroom, a bedroom, and a living room.
After Ye Liuyun returned, he simply pushed the door open and went in.
Lan Xin was soaking in the tub when she let out a startled cry, hurriedly using True Essence to close the bathroom door.
But her clothes were all thrown into the bedroom.
Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that Lan Xin was actually living right there with him.
He didn't mind someone using his room, since he only used the Cultivation Room occasionally and sometimes sat in the living room.
But he still found Lan Xin strange and wanted to see what she was doing.
Although Lan Xin closed the bathroom door, which could block Divine Sense probing, it couldn't stop Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil.
Lan Xin's heart was also thump-thumping wildly.
"He actually came back! But what should I do now? How do I explain this to him? Sigh, my impression of him must be completely ruined!"
Lan Xin felt a bit dejected, weakly lying in the tub.
Suddenly, she also felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her, examining her completely.
She immediately took out a set of clothes from her Storage Ring and changed into them.
Ye Liuyun also withdrew his gaze, gave an embarrassed laugh: "Not bad figure! This girl really is bathing—she's treating my place like her own home!"
Ye Liuyun had no ill thoughts, immediately retreating to the living room to wait for Lan Xin to come out.
After Lan Xin came out, she hurriedly gathered the clothing from the bedroom, her face flushed as she explained to Ye Liuyun: "Our lodging conditions here are poor; many people share a single room."
Lan Xin came out, hurriedly gathered up the clothing in the sleeping quarters, face flushed red as she went to explain to Ye Liuyun: "Our lodging conditions here are poor, with many people sharing a single room."
I see this place of yours is empty, so I thought I could both watch over your house and hide here for some peace.
I had no idea you'd return suddenly…
"Oh, is that so! Then you can come anytime; I only use the Cultivation Room, I don't need any other rooms."
Ye Liuyun thought about it, found it understandable, and didn't pay much attention to the matter.
"Can I still come later to serve the young master?"
Lan Xin asked timidly.
"Of course! Tonight you can cultivate in the bedroom, I'll use the Cultivation Room! Tomorrow morning I happen to have something for you to help with!"
After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he didn't attend to her, went straight into the Cultivation Room, and returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate.
Lan Xin stood awkwardly in place, unable to leave nor stay.
Finally she gritted her teeth, thought never mind, since it's already like this, she'll cultivate here; at least it's quiet.
Thinking that, she sat directly on the floor of the bedroom and began to cultivate.
Early the next morning, she prepared breakfast for Ye Liuyun.
After Ye Liuyun finished cultivating, he came out, ate breakfast, and then gave Lan Xin the unusable resources he had looted over the past days, asking them to exchange them for Divine Crystals.
Then he also had Lan Xin, according to the Heaven and Earth Pill formula, purchase the ingredients for two thousand pills.
"For the remaining Divine Crystals, you should purchase Space Power Realm Crystals for me; buy as many as you can."
Ye Liuyun instructed Lan Xin.
"Alright!"
Lan Xin saw that Ye Liuyun held no prejudice against her, and her mood was good.
So she immediately followed Ye Liuyun's request and went to exchange resources for him.
Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, continued back to cultivate.
At noon, Lan Xin brought back to Ye Liuyun twelve Space Power Realm Crystals, over seven million Divine Crystals, and the ingredients for two thousand pills.
Ye Liuyun said nothing, put the items away, and went back to continue cultivating.
During those five or six days inside the Xuan Kong Shi, he had been taking the Heaven and Earth Pill, boosting Heaven and Earth Power.
The pill's effect was far weaker than that of the Realm Crystals; it lasted only two hours, and the Heaven and Earth Power felt was not very strong.
Therefore Ye Liuyun prepared to start forging the Heaven and Earth Pill to raise his own Heaven and Earth Power.
The price for purchasing the ingredients versus the pills differed by almost twentyfold.
