Chapter 1785: Acting Alone

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, one and a half months were about to pass; their journey was halfway, and it was time for them to resupply and rest.

Everyone's cultivation had risen to the early third stage, with none falling behind.

Their strength in all aspects had seen a considerable increase.

Most of the pills Ye Liuyun had previously refined had been consumed.

As for the various intention crystals, there were still plenty left.

But the divine crystals had been completely used up.

Ye Liuyun also prepared to find a merchant association, sell the pills, exchange for some herbs, and then exchange for some divine crystals.

Lei Ming and the others were looking forward to going on another raid.

They had been feeling cooped up during this time and all wanted to go out and find people to move their muscles and bones.

And their itinerary was designed for this purpose.

Near the city where they stopped to rest, there were many bandits, so that those with ability could go acquire resources.

What pleasantly surprised Ye Liuyun was that, before they reached their destination, they actually received a local map sent by Xiao Yunfang.

On the map, big and small red circles marked the forces they could raid.

The larger the red circle, the stronger the opponent's strength.

Xiao Yunfang sending them this map was merely to encourage self-reliance, letting them obtain resources on their own; she didn't want to bring them along, considering them a burden.

But Zhang Wencai directly forwarded the map to them.

Mainly because he considered Ye Liuyun had the strength for raiding.

Ye Liuyun immediately applied to Zhang Wencai that, upon arriving, he wanted to act alone.

Zhang Wencai understood his purpose and immediately agreed.

The others, however, were to follow Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong to seek opportunities to acquire resources.

Their flying boat sailed straight into the military camp of the local lord's mansion before coming to a stop.

Xiao Yunfang and everyone else disembarked from the flying boat and announced to them: "Only ten days.

After ten days, we will set sail immediately; latecomers will not be waited for."

Having said that, she directly led the three thousand palace guards out of the city.

Ye Liuyun originally planned to first go to the merchant association, but worried that Xiao Yunfang would strike first at the biggest force, he immediately left the city, released a fourth-tier flying boat, and rushed ahead.

The map indicated that it was the largest red circle.

Upon arriving, Ye Liuyun discovered it was a bandit gang of about a thousand people.

No need for many words; he simply threw out the magic vine, released everyone, and began the slaughter.

The few of them no longer needed to conceal their cultivation and strength; they brought out all their abilities.

Even their treasures were employed, constantly practicing their use.

This bandit gang originally had a martial cultivator at the early fourth stage.

Ye Liu first exchanged a couple of moves with him, found him not a match, then together with his clone used a spiritual soul attack to devour his soul.

Afterwards he found a few late-stage third-stage martial cultivators to practice on.

The others were similarly insufficiently satisfied, so they were all left to the magic vine.

They then looted the treasure vault and immediately withdrew.

Before they left, Ye Liuyun also noticed that Xiao Yunfang, leading that unit of guards, was also sneaking over here.

Moreover, they were divided into three teams, advancing with great caution and concealment.

Ye Liuyun observed their formation and knew they intended to use formation superiority to break through the bandits' defense, then still rely on combined force of the formation to kill that fourth-stage martial cultivator.

From their movements, Ye Liuyun could see that their coordination was also well-trained.

The power exerted by the formation should be considerable.

Ye Liuyun did not go too far.

After this largest bandit force was wiped out, the rest were all the same to eliminate first.

He wanted to see which direction Xiao Yunfang and the others were heading, then go the opposite way.

Anyway, they were just circling around the city.

Xiao Yunfang would not backtrack either; they all knew time was limited.

With only ten days, he couldn't loot everything; it would be better to leave some resources for Xiao Yunfang and the others as well.

Xiao Yunfang and the others were very cautious; only when scouts discovered that this bandit gang had been completely wiped out did they hurry over.

Afterwards, they also did not waste time, decisively continuing toward the next bandit gang.

Ye Liuyun waited until they had gone far away before releasing the flying boat and heading in the opposite direction.

In the subsequent battles, they were the same as before: the magic vine guarded while they practiced.

When their true essence was exhausted, they immediately returned to the Xuan Kong Stone to cultivate, then came out to fight again.

Until no opponents could be found, they then let the magic vine wipe out the remaining low-level bandits.

Then they looted the treasure vault clean and immediately rushed to the next target.

After each battle, the magic vine also gathered the storage rings together and handed them to Lan Xin for processing.

"Are they going raiding again?"

Hua Xiangyuan asked Lan Xin.

She also now knew that whenever Lan Xin got busy, it meant Ye Liuyun and company were raiding others.

"Surely, otherwise where would all these various resources and storage rings come from!"

Lan Xin confirmed.

"I really envy them!"

Hua Xiangyuan said somewhat enviously.

"You're also at the mid-stage of the third tier, right?"

"Why don't you go with them?"

Lan Xin asked, puzzled.

"My strength lies not in combat, but in illusion techniques; I'm not suited for their kind of fighting."

"My true combat strength is probably not even up to the late second tier; going would just drag them down."

Hua Xiangyuan explained.

"Then you help me organize the resources!"

Lan Xin said.

"Is that okay?"

"Will he worry that I'm stealing resources?"

Hua Xiangyuan said worriedly.

Lan Xin, however, laughed and said: "He's not that stingy! Come on, otherwise you'd be idle with nothing to do; we'll organize together and keep each other company!"

"All right!"

Hua Xiangyuan also readily agreed and helped Lan Xin organize.

Whatever they did in Ye Liuyun's Space World, Ye Liuyun knew it all clearly.

Hua Xiangyuan helped organize the resources, and Ye Liuyun had no objections at all.

Someone who can easily produce over a hundred Concept Crystal Stones—how could they possibly sneak a few of the resources he looted?

Hua Xiangyuan's younger sister had been cultivating her transformation these past days, and she was very quiet.

Ye Liuyun also inquired and found that the transformation was basically complete, so he felt much more relieved.

Reflecting on his recent alchemy experience, he also worried that the Divine Rank Transformation Pill he refined might not achieve the expected effect.

Fortunately, the fierce beasts' digestive and absorptive abilities are strong, so no problems arose, and he no longer needed to worry.

Moreover, while Hua Xiangyuan's younger sister was undergoing her transformation, her cultivation realm also broke through simultaneously, which should be a considerable gain.

Ye Liuyun no longer concerned himself with affairs in his Space World; instead, he led everyone, looting one stronghold after another, being even more bandit-like than the bandits.

Those bandits were also unlucky to have encountered a robber like Ye Liuyun; all the evil they usually did was repaid at this moment.

The accumulated resources also became Ye Liuyun's capital for cultivation.

That day, Ye Liuyun and his group had already walked a half-circle that was one-quarter around the city.

His Divine Sense suddenly detected Zhang Wencai leading a group of people running toward the city, and their numbers were five fewer, with no weapons in hand.

He immediately piloted the Flying Boat and intercepted them.
