Chapter 2975: with translation of chapter title

Ye Liuyun immediately absorbed the lightning power and then checked the effect.

He already had a lightning spirit cultivated inside his body; as soon as he absorbed this five-colored lightning source, the lightning spirit let out a cheer and pounced, immediately beginning to devour it.

And that blood spirit root, Ye Liuyun also had Wu Qingcheng give it to Lin Luoyi to refine into pills, which he then distributed among the women.

Lan Xin also immediately showed Ye Liuyun everything inside the storage rings she had recently received.

"Huh? These martial cultivators actually have some nice stuff!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed, also quite surprised.

The quality of the resources these martial cultivators had was obviously high, and those items were very suitable for them to use in cultivation.

He also found quite a few primordial powers with attributes; two of them were a murky gray, clearly primordial powers from the Archaic World, and there was also a golden one that contained a metallic attribute.

For the other attributed primordial powers, Ye Liuyun let the other women pick for themselves; he directly took those three primordial powers, and let the women themselves find suitable resources among the rest.

After leaving the Space World, he also informed everyone of this news.

Tang Xinyao and the others rarely took action, so their gains were few, and they hadn't paid much attention to the contents of the storage rings. The monster beasts were even more focused on fighting; they tossed the captured storage rings to Ye Liuyun, with nobody checking what was inside, since Ye Liuyun would directly give them any resources they needed.

However, after Ye Liuyun's reminder, they subsequently began to pay attention, found usable items, and immediately absorbed and refined them, which also increased everyone's enthusiasm for looting.

Ye Liuyun and his clone walked while taking turns absorbing the metallic primordial power, which enhanced his Mysterious Origin and could also be used to temper his body. Bai Hu had previously refined many golden peng and still had some metallic power left unabsorbed, so Ye Liuyun temporarily did not give any to him.

Meanwhile, the metallic power within that primordial power could fill gaps in his body, replenishing where his previous refinement had been lacking; afterward, that metallic power began to comprehensively increase the strength of his physical body, making it even more solid.

After absorbing those metallic powers, Ye Liuyun then used the five-colored body-tempering stone to further condense,

After reading the book, the physical body becomes strong.

After Lin Luoyi refined the blood spirit root into a pill and gave one each to Ye Liuyun and his clone, they both immediately felt a noticeable increase in their bloodline power, an effect even better than absorbing half a day in the Tang family's blood spirit pool.

"I didn't expect there to be this kind of unexpected gain!" he thought, feeling delighted.

Others also occasionally obtained the things they needed, giving them greater motivation to compete with the bandits here.

In their subsequent battles, people began to get injured here and there, but nothing serious; slowing their pace would allow them to recover.

But soon they encountered a tough opponent: the leader was a Guiyi Fourth Layer martial cultivator, with balanced strength in all aspects; Long Nv found the fight very taxing, even having to use the Furious Dragon Battle Technique before barely managing to defeat him.

Ye Liuyun, Lei Ming, his clone, and the nine-headed demon dragon teamed up in pairs to face two martial cultivators at the One Three Layer, and they avoided injury solely thanks to their formidable physical bodies.

The three Xuanwu and Bai Hu all used Black and White Light, while the Purple Qilin also employed Time Power to slay several martial cultivators, allowing them to completely wipe out those foes.

The women were not released by Ye Liuyun at all. This bandit squad had only a Sovereign Ninth Layer realm, and they were still trying to break through.

Tang Xinyao's group of nine people only fought six martial cultivators, with two of them getting injured.

After the battle, Tang Xinyao inspected those people's storage rings and couldn't help but complain: "These martial cultivators are too desperate! We lost this fight—we gained nothing good, yet we injured two of our own!"

Ye Liuyun also laughed: "These martial cultivators make a living by risking their lives! Without risking their lives, how could they obtain resources? You've been pampered too well in your families, unaware of how hard it is for martial cultivators outside to acquire resources!"

From now on, you also need to change your mindset: every time you act, prepare to risk your life, and when you act, give it your all to crush the opponent!

Those nine people of Tang Xinyao also nodded. Tang Xinyao then asked Ye Liuyun and his group: "Do you have any gains on your side?"

The people around Ye Liuyun had already handed over their storage rings to him. He scanned them, then helplessly shook his head: "You're right—we lost this battle. This bandit squad is truly poor. I estimate they use up any resources they get immediately, which is why their strength is so great."

Long Nv and the others also nodded, acknowledging that these martial cultivators' strength was indeed formidable.

Ye Liuyun casually flipped through and took out a black triangular metal piece, with a fork shape engraved on it.

"What is this?" Ye Liuyun examined it with his Golden Pupil and Divine Sense, but couldn't tell what it was, though he was certain it wasn't a treasure.

Tang Xinyao also took it to look, saw nothing, and tossed it back to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun didn't just throw it away; he put it back into the storage ring and handed it all to Lan Xin to handle.

However, the next day, they were targeted by two other groups of martial cultivators.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also detected the strength of these two groups of martial cultivators in advance; both groups were led by Guiyi Fourth Layer martial cultivators, and their True Essence appeared very solid.

There were also over ten Guiyi Third Layer martial cultivators, and over forty Guiyi First and Second Layer martial cultivators; Ye Liuyun felt these two groups were strong in strength and numerous, making them formidable bandit squads.

"We're being targeted by two groups of martial cultivators at once, and neither group is weak. Bai Hu, Xuanwu, Shadow, and Illusion Hand—when you engage, first use Black and White Light to kill a few of them, or we won't be a match for them."

"Yes!" Bai Hu replied, but the several Xuanwu monster beasts did not respond, so as not to reveal their position.

However, among those two groups, one group walked straight over, seemingly without intent to fight, making Ye Liuyun and his companions very curious; this was the first group they had encountered that wanted to say a few words rather than attack immediately.

The leader of that group cupped his hands toward Ye Liuyun and politely asked, "May I ask your name, sir? Among those you killed yesterday, was there a person named Wang Mang?" He also condensed a figure of a man using his True Essence.

Ye Liuyun looked and saw that it was indeed the leader of the bandit group they had fought hard against yesterday. He also countered, "I'm Ye Liuyun. So, are you his allies? Have you come to avenge him?"

Upon hearing that, the opposing leader immediately confirmed it was Ye Liuyun's doing and laughed, "Young Master Ye, don't misunderstand—we have no connection with Wang Mang. We are a small squad of the First Star Bandit Gang; I am the captain, Peng Lei."
