Chapter 1877: Plan Change

Ye Liuyun pulls Lin Xiyao, directly uses Divine Sense to locate the outer sect's registration office.

As soon as he enters, he loudly tells the Steward inside: "I am Ye Liuyun, register me as a Lin family outer sect disciple, I'm going to the Alien Battlefield."

The registration clerk is also stunned, having never had anyone make such a request.

"What are you staring at? My master ordered it, hurry up and register!" Ye Liuyun urges.

The Steward looks at Lin Xiyao, Lin Xiyao also nods, and then he quickly processes Ye Liuyun's registration, issuing Ye Liuyun clothing and a Token.

"Take me to the residence!" Ye Liuyun commands.

"Huh? Oh!" The Steward is also bewildered.

"Aren't you an outer sect disciple? Why do you act like a nobleman?"

But Lin Xiyao is present, and he can't figure out the situation, so he hurriedly leads Ye Liuyun to the outer sect disciple's residence.

Fortunately there is a private room, Ye Liuyun doesn't mind.

He asks the Steward: "When do we go to the Alien Battlefield? How many people go together?"

"Probably within a day or two, people from the Royal City will come to pick us up. This time we need to gather fifty people, we're still short by three or four." The Steward answers truthfully.

After learning the information, Ye Liuyun immediately sends Lin Xiyao back.

"You go back, I'll see you when I return!" Ye Liuyun smiles and waves at her.

Lin Xiyao watches Ye Liuyun's smile, feels reluctant, turns and runs away.

After seeing Lin Xiyao leave, the Steward, emboldened, asks: "What relationship do you have with Alchemist Lin Xiyao?"

Ye Liuyun laughs: "My coming here has nothing to do with Lin Xiyao, but it does involve Lin Luoyi. You must guarantee that I get to the Alien Battlefield, otherwise she'll deal with you! Hahaha!"

Ye Liuyun bursts into the room, slams the door shut, leaving the Steward utterly confused.

"He must be a lunatic, right? Going to the Alien Battlefield and needing a guarantee? Anyone can just shout out, and powerful forces will pay to send him."

Yet the Steward truly worries about what connection Ye Liuyun has with Lin Luoyi, so he doesn't dare confront Ye Liuyun; after all Ye Liuyun will leave in a day or two, he doesn't mind.

After returning to his room, Ye Liuyun also quiets down.

"Looks like the plan hasn't changed quickly!"

Over at the clone, the war progresses smoothly, and the Death Legion has already expanded its numbers to over two hundred thousand.

The clone trains new recruits day and night, having no time for cultivation.

Moreover, the clone lacks Xuan Kong Shi, so cultivation speed is naturally slow.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun is about to go to the Alien Battlefield and must quickly raise his realm, or else danger may arise. The battlefield he heads to contains alien tribes of five tiers.

Though Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul Power is strong, he cannot guarantee those alien tribes lack masters.

He knows those alien tribes well; in both wisdom and strength they are no worse than humans, and their Physical Bodies are even stronger. Otherwise they wouldn't have made it this far.

Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun immediately uses the Black Tower to teleport back to Death City.

"Give me two drops of tears!" Ye Liuyun directly asks the spirit root in the Space World for them.

"What? Two drops? That's all the essence of my whole body, you want two drops just by opening your mouth?" the spirit root exaggerates.

"If you don't give them, I'll cut off your legs!" Ye Liuyun says coldly.

"Hey! Wait, don't act yet!" the spirit root, fearing Ye Liuyun would act, quickly says.

"Then hand over the tears?" Ye Liuyun reaches out.

"One drop work?" the spirit root bargains.

"Two drops, I need them to survive. But I can give you Divine Crystals in exchange." Ye Liuyun says.

The spirit root thinks and asks: "How many Divine Crystals can you give me? I need a lot of energy to replenish my essence!"

"Tell me, how many, be generous, or I'll act!" Ye Liuyun pretends to urge.

"Don't be impulsive! I said it's not possible… then you must give me three hundred million Divine Crystals!" the spirit root says.

"Three hundred million?" Ye Liuyun feigns surprise, and draws the Demon Slaying Sword: "Then I'd rather act!"

"Two hundred million, two hundred million, can't be less! You have so many Divine Crystals here, just give me this bit!" the spirit root urgently cries.

"Fine! Deal!" Ye Liuyun sheathes the sword, throws two hundred million Divine Crystals, piling them into a small hill.

Seeing this, the spirit root actually starts crying: "It's too little!"

The two drops of tears the spirit root spat out are wrapped by Ye Liuyun with Mysterious Origin and taken away, ignoring the spirit root's dry howling.

As soon as Ye Liuyun leaves, the spirit root stops its dry howling, placing the Crystal Stones around its vicinity.

"This guy is really wealthy! So many Crystal Stones, not even blinking an eye!"

The spirit root hums a tune and begins to work.

Ye Liuyun hands one of the spirit root's tears to the clone, then immediately uses the Black Tower to return to the Lin family.

That night, Ye Liuyun and the clone both ingest the spirit root's tears, breaking through to the late stage of the fourth realm.

Moreover, the tears' medicinal effect is truly potent; after the breakthrough, their realms even solidify, needing no Divine Crystals at all.

"This is truly a good thing, far better than the effect of two hundred million Crystal Stones, and it saves time!"

Ye Liuyun, though impressed, does not exploit the spirit root, but lets it recover for a while first.

He and the clone also begin absorbing other powers.

He adjusts the army's offensive plan, accelerating the march toward the Southern Region.

He orders the clone to bring tens of thousands of untrained Martial Cultivators to the Southern Region border garrison, advancing while training, then launching ambushes. Demon Beasts also join the fight at crucial moments.

These Martial Cultivators also forgo armor, causing the Southern Region garrison to mistake them for a Martial Cultivator rebellion, underestimating them.

At the same time, Yu Xiaofeng, He Lian Xiu, and Xiao Yunfang's three armies also spread out further, speeding the sweep of the border battlefield.

This may lose some troops, but will unify the border battlefield faster.

The next afternoon, Lin Xiyao comes to Ye Liuyun again, giving him some pills that restore True Essence.

"These Explosive Essence Pills will quickly restore the True Essence you expend. But if taken continuously, the effect of the second pill will be halved."

"Fifth‑grade pill? The one you refined?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

"Hmm!" Lin Xiyao nodded. "But I only found these herbs! I don't have any Divine Crystals left. These are still Divine Crystals borrowed from others."

Ye Liuyun thought such pills would be very useful on the battlefield, and immediately said, "Give me the pill formula, I'll give you Divine Crystals, you go buy the herbs and bring them to me, and I'll try refining it myself."

"Do you really know how to refine pills?" Lin Xiyao asked in surprise.

"Hmm, but for now I can only refine fourth‑grade pills." Ye Liuyun said, showing Lin Xiyao the fourth‑grade, ninth‑rank Refining Qi and Refining Body Pill he had refined.
