Chapter 1880: Returning Fully Loaded

"Boom, boom, boom," a series of pounding sounds rang out.

The silver‑armored Foreign Tribe, after being suppressed, could not withstand the attacks of demon wolves and other Demon Beasts, was struck repeatedly, and even in armor was beaten to the point of spitting blood.

Especially the curse technique, its effect was too great; soon it lost the power to resist and wailed for help.

Ye Liuyun used blade intent to try to block the incoming Corpse Demons and Foreign Tribe.

Fortunately, there were no higher‑realm Corpse Demons nearby for the time being, and Ye Liuyun's group finally eliminated that silver‑armored Foreign Tribe.

Ye Liuyun removed the Foreign Tribe's treasure that defended against Spiritual Soul Attacks, as well as the armor Storage Ring, took out the Yuan Pill, and then set the corpse ablaze with a burst of fire.

Afterwards, he gathered the ferocious beasts, sent the long‑tailed kite to glide through the void and leave the area, to avoid being surrounded by more Corpse Demons and Foreign Tribe.

Not long after, the two squads of ferocious beasts—Vermilion Bird and Barbarian Ox, and demon ape and demon snake—returned to rendezvous with Ye Liuyun.

"We didn't reach the Foreign Tribe's city. There are too many of them; our True Essence will be exhausted," Zhu Que explained to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't force them; he sent them back to the Space World to rest, while he himself used his Golden Pupil to avoid those Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons as much as possible.

He now also began to slowly retreat.

Because higher‑realm Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons were gradually pressing forward. If he didn't withdraw, he would also face danger.

For Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons of Fourth Realm and below, Ye Liuyun could kill them at will, almost never meeting a match. Even opponents of the first, second, or third realms could be slain directly with curse techniques.

Ye Liuyun also seized the chance, using it to cultivate the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, practicing the manipulation of True Essence of Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons.

Whenever he encountered a Human Race Martial Cultivator along the way, Ye Liuyun avoided them in advance. He thought these people came to kill the Foreign Tribe, and he didn't want to strike them.

The number of humans on the whole battlefield was actually considerable, but the battlefield was vast enough to give Ye Liuyun room to evade them.

A month later, Ye Liuyun finally returned fully loaded; not only did he obtain many resources from the Foreign Tribe's Storage Rings, he also killed a large number of Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons.

When the remaining Martial Cultivators gathered at the gate of Base Seven, Ye Liuyun also discovered that of their group of over three thousand, only five to six hundred remained.

Actually it was all thanks to Ye Liuyun; after he retreated, in the area of Fourth Realm Corpse Demons, he killed many Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons, allowing those Martial Cultivators to retain more of their numbers.

However, among those Martial Cultivators, many were covered in bloodstains and wore exhausted faces.

After the gate opened, a squad of six‑ to seven‑layer strongmen stopped these people, inspected each one for mission completion, and collected the entry fee.

Ye Liuyun and his party, having just arrived, each had some savings, so they could all produce Divine Crystals, which they all brought into the city.

The Martial Cultivators inside the city were quite shocked; they hadn't expected so many to remain this time.

"Has the Foreign Tribe's strength weakened?"

Some Martial Cultivators thought the Foreign Tribe's power had waned and seized the chance to leave the city to kill them.

After entering the city, these people almost all rushed straight to the Exchange Grand Hall to trade for resources.

Ye Liuyun also hurried with the crowd to the Exchange Grand Hall. He obtained a large amount of Yuan Pills from the Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons; although he could use them for cultivation, it took more time than converting them into better resources.

He wasn't in a hurry; instead he stood at the back, watching others exchange items.

To avoid mistakes, the counting of Yuan Pills inside the Grand Hall was done by some Kuailei. Each time they would report numbers to confirm with the Martial Cultivators.

Some people's loot was small; they only took out a few Yuan Pills and exchanged them for some Divine Crystals.

Others produced several hundred Yuan Pills. They themselves were of high realm, yet had never dared to take risks, always killing Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demons in low‑realm zones.

These people could even exchange for fifth‑tier defensive armor. Clearly the returns here were indeed quite good.

Some even produced some Martial Cultivator Storage Rings, presumably having killed their own and seized the supplies. Yet the staff in the Exchange Grand Hall ignored it and exchanged them directly, like a merchant guild.

Ye Liuyun also discovered that for each level increase of a Yuan Pill, the exchanged resources multiplied by ten. Moreover, Yuan Pills of the same level from the Foreign Tribe could be exchanged for twice the resources of Corpse Demon Yuan Pills.

Ye Liuyun was contemplating which resources to exchange for. He was not lacking Divine Crystals or Realm Crystals.

Yet he suddenly realized that many had already finished exchanging resources and left, and only a few people remained in the hall.

Only then did he approach a Kuailei, handing over a Storage Ring.

The Kuailei tallied and reported, "Corpse Demon Yuan Pills: Second Tier early twelve, Second Tier mid sixteen… Fifth Tier mid one hundred six, Fifth Tier late seventy‑four."

When that Kuailei reported the Fifth Tier late Corpse Demon Yuan Pills, the Stewards inside the Grand Hall instantly looked at Ye Liuyun in shock. Some thought the Kuailei had erred.

Then, the skeleton reported the Foreign Tribe Yuan Pills: "… Fifth Tier late, sixty‑one."

The final tally showed a total of over two thousand three hundred Yuan Pills.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun's Yuan Pill count was mostly concentrated in the Fourth Realm. The Fourth Realm Foreign Tribe and Corpse Demon Yuan Pills numbered more than fifteen hundred.

As for the Second Tier Yuan Pills, they were merely the ones he happened to slay when he finally withdrew.

The elder who had received them also came over, double‑checking the number of Yuan Pills inside the Storage Ring.

He smiled and asked Ye Liuyun, "Do you have an assistant?"

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun didn't hide it. After all, there was no rule here against using assistants.

The elder then asked, "How many of these did you kill yourself?"

"Around sixty to seventy percent!" Ye Liuyun estimated.

"Could you demonstrate your Buddha Light Power for me?" the elder asked very kindly of Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thought he couldn't conceal it. Any Yuan Pill he killed with Buddha Light Power or curse techniques bore the marks of Buddha Light corrosion.

"This elder is impressive!"

He thought to himself that he should let Buddha Light Power manifest in his hand once more.

"Hehe, that's right! Over seventy percent of these Yuan Pills were slain by you!" the elder finally nodded in confirmation.

With the elder's words, all the Stewards cast attentive gazes at Ye Liuyun. Few Martial Cultivators in the primary base could kill Fifth Tier late Foreign Tribe.

Ye Liuyun himself hadn't calculated that precisely, only knowing it was roughly so.

The elder continued, "I am Wu Yongyuan, the chief administrator of Base Seven. Your loot, if exchanged for ordinary Divine Crystals and Realm Crystals, would be a waste. Why don't you tell me what power you wish to enhance, and I'll recommend some resources for you?"

"Martial Cultivator Ye Liuyun. Then I'll trouble you, Senior Wu!" Ye Liuyun introduced himself and felt this was much better than exchanging for Divine Crystals.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun chatted with Wu Yongyuan, mixing his own and his companions' needs together to speak, so the elder wouldn't guess his true situation.
