Chapter 1895: Tacit Cooperation

"You're still an Alchemist?"

Zhao Ming Cheng felt even more surprised!

"I can only refine fifth-grade pills, but I haven't obtained the Alchemist qualification yet!"

Ye Liuyun explained.

"That's already a fifth-grade Alchemist! Outside the Central Region, that should still be impressive, right?"

Zhao Ming Cheng sighed.

"Are you from the Central Region?"

Ye Liuyun immediately asked.

They had rarely talked about personal information before.

Ye Liuyun gathered from her words that she seemed familiar with the Central Area, so he asked further.

"Yeah! In the Central Region, unlike other areas, even the direct descendants of major families are sent to the Alien Battlefield for training."

"Moreover, after training in the Low-Level Battlefield, they must go to the High-Level Battlefield."

"That's why the Martial Cultivators of the Central Region are much stronger than those elsewhere."

Zhao Ming Cheng then chatted with Ye Liuyun.

She also told Ye Liuyun, "If you ever go to the Central Region, you can come find me at the Zhao family in Formless City!"

Ye Liuyun immediately searched for Formless City on the map in his Sea of Consciousness and found it located to the south of the Central Area.

"So, does that mean your family is a major power?"

Ye Liuyun asked again.

"Not a major power! The major powers in the Central Area are terrifyingly strong."

"Our Zhao family is just getting by locally."

Zhao Ming Cheng explained.

Ye Liuyun nodded and didn't ask further.

He knew the Martial Cultivators in the Central Area were strong, so he wouldn't go there anytime soon and didn't need to learn more about it for now.

"And you?"

"Where are you from?"

"Which faction?"

Zhao Ming Cheng also asked Ye Liuyun.

"I'm from the Southern Region, just taking a spot from the Lin family; I don't belong to any faction."

Ye Liuyun didn't reveal his own information.

Zhao Ming Cheng, hearing Ye Liuyun say that, thought he really had no background as a Martial Cultivator, and said to him, "You're so strong; why not come back to the Zhao family with me?"

"Our Zhao family will definitely focus on cultivating you!"

Ye Liuyun, however, laughed and shook his head: "I'd rather be lazy than be controlled by others."

Zhao Ming Cheng looked at Ye Liuyun doubtfully, but after thinking, he also said: "That's true; you can definitely secure resources on your own."

"As long as you don't lack resources, cultivation is the same anywhere for a Martial Cultivator."

"But if you ever have the chance to pass by my place, I still hope you'll come visit so I can fulfill my duty as a host."

"Sure!"

Ye Liuyun also took it as polite talk and readily agreed.

After eating their fill, the two of them didn't stay overnight but immediately continued on their journey.

Next, the Martial Cultivator teams they encountered grew larger; even a team of over ten was considered small.

At first, Ye Liuyun and Zhao Ming Cheng would ambush a few Martial Cultivators before engaging them in battle.

After that, they went straight into head-on combat.

Upon seeing a Martial Cultivator, they would rush forward to temper their bodies.

Every day, they ended up covered in wounds, their clothes already torn to shreds.

What they wear now is taken from other Martial Cultivators.

Even Zhao Ming Cheng had switched to male clothing.

But the more they did this, the faster their physical bodies improved.

Ye Liuyun felt his physical body had become like a slab of iron.

Now, even if struck, it's hard to damage his internal organs.

What he needs to do now is continually strengthen that iron slab's strength and toughness.

Zhao Ming Cheng was also deeply grateful to Ye Liuyun; without him, she couldn't have gained so much.

Relying solely on her own training, she estimated she wouldn't be able to leave this Secret Realm for several years.

Moreover, besides her physical strength improving, even after giving Ye Liuyun half of the resources, she has accumulated over three hundred pills and more than sixty Storage Rings—a great haul.

So since the Undefeated Vajra incident, she has come to trust Ye Liuyun more and more, never going against his arrangements.

Their coordination has also become more tacit; often a glance or a gesture is enough to understand each other's intentions.

But since they rarely leave survivors, keep a low profile, and don't take on subordinates, their reputation has never spread.

Whenever Ye Liuyun encountered a surrendering Martial Cultivator, he would first ask for the route to the fighting platform before killing them.

After several times, he also confirmed a more specific location of the fighting platform.

"There's less than a month left before we can reach the fighting platform."

"But I feel there's still great potential to improve my physical body!"

Ye Liuyun suddenly felt reluctant to leave the Secret Realm too early! The environment of this Secret Realm is indeed effective for tempering the physical body.

Other powers are completely unusable.

Normally he trains his physical body, but without this environment he would always bring in some other power, unable to achieve this effect.

Moreover, the danger and intensity of combat also greatly improved his close-quarters combat skills, his reaction speed became much faster than before, and his mental fortitude when facing enemies also saw a great boost.

"You decide, I'll follow you! If you go, I'll follow you even more.

If you want to fight, I'll accompany you in battle!"

Zhao Ming Cheng also said.

Although she herself has improved a lot, she definitely wouldn't dare to stay here alone.

Only by following Ye Liuyun can she put her mind at ease.

She sometimes even wonders if her current appearance is too poor, failing to arouse Ye Liuyun's interest.

Ye Liuyun never had any improper thoughts toward her.

She naturally feels this is safer, but also becomes more curious about Ye Liuyun.

In her usual chats with Ye Liuyun, she also learned that he indeed has women, and not just one.

But Ye Liuyun had no reaction toward her, inevitably making her doubt her own appearance.

Then let's wander around here more and train for a few more days.

Ye Liuyun decided.

The Martial Cultivators here are the wealthiest Martial Cultivators in the Secret Realm.

Further ahead, the number of Martial Cultivators begins to decrease again, but their strength is also greater.

Ye Liuyun feels he can first train here for a while to solidify his foundation, then continue forward to face further challenges.

Next, Ye Liuyun began to wander around with Zhao Ming Cheng, seeking targets to attack.

One day, they encountered a Martial Cultivator troop of about thirty people, and they directly charged forward and began killing.

And while they were fighting fiercely, Long Nv suddenly rushed out to help Ye Liuyun and them, wiping out those Martial Cultivators.

Long Nv has also changed into male attire, probably also snatched.

Moreover, during battle, Ye Liuyun discovered that Long Nv's physical body strength had also increased considerably.

Although it's not an indestructible diamond-like body, after being struck by blades and spears it basically doesn't cause major wounds, at most just a shallow scratch.

The weapon in Long Nv's hand is a spear shaft with the spearhead removed, which she uses as a staff.

As soon as the battle ended, Ye Liuyun hurriedly went to inquire about Long Nv's condition.

"How are you?"

Have you suffered a lot?

Have you been bullied?

Ye Liuyun asked repeatedly.

Long Nv also embraced Ye Liuyun's arm, very happy.

She had been wandering alone for so many days; previously for a long period, each day she lived in fear, and she also greatly missed Ye Liuyun.
