Chapter 3439: Relentless Gallop

This is the activity range of the Taixu Fourth‑Tier ferocious beasts; Ye Liuyun's combat power is now very weak, so he cannot stay here long.

"Do you want to rest first? I can also handle the fourth‑tier ferocious beasts!"

Chen Yueying was concerned about Ye Liuyun's injuries and wanted him to stop and rest for a while.

Ye Liuyun smiled and reassured her: "No need, the Physical Body's injuries recover as I move; I'm already almost fully recovered now."

He took Life Spring Water, so the Physical Body's injuries healed quickly. He also put on the guard uniform made from gilded armor.

"Shall we go back to recuperate before heading out on the mission?"

Chen Yueying was worried that Ye Liuyun's injuries might not recover in time, affecting later battles.

"No need, just restore some True Essence on the road!" Ye Liuyun didn't mind at all. He practices cultivation while doing things; he's long mastered this ability.

"But I'd like to stop by a merchant guild first to exchange some cultivation resources before we go," Ye Liuyun suggested.

Chen Yueying knew he had just gathered those few disciples and wanted to exchange cultivation resources.

She was only worried about Ye Liuyun's injuries: "That's easy; there's a merchant guild within the Sect, and the prices aren't higher than outside. I'll take you there. But do you really not need to rest?"

Ye Liuyun spread his arms, letting everyone see: "Look at me now—do I still look injured? My wounds have already healed!"

"Pervert, you recover from injuries that fast! I actually heard the sound of your bones cracking before!" Liao Yaotian looked at Ye Liuyun and indeed he didn't seem injured.

Actually, Ye Liuyun hasn't fully recovered yet, but it's no longer visible. Moreover, the remaining injuries will heal quickly after they leave here.

Life Spring Water remains effective in the Taixu World. His Life Spring Water contains Life Spirit Stones, and their quality keeps increasing.

"Good that you're fine; I was worried you'd die just now!" Chen Yueying said, finally easing her mind.

Ye Liuyun also laughed: "He only uses Physical Body power, so nothing big can happen! Without refining, how can the Physical Body improve? If you get the chance, you should train more as well!"

Chen Yueying stuck out her tongue and said, "I wouldn't dare be as crazy as you…"

"…nor have your strong recovery ability!"

Ye Liuyun just smiled upon hearing that, thinking he could later tell her about the Life Spring Water so she can fight without worry.

They quickly returned to the Sect's outer gate; Chen Yueying led them into the merchant guild, where Ye Liuyun sold all the newly acquired resources that could be sold and even gave some to others. Even though his own supplies were insufficient, he didn't forget to share.

He kept only some Divine Crystals to cultivate on the road, converting the rest into Refined Body Liquid.

"You only refine the body and don't need other resources? If your crystals are insufficient, I can lend you some," Chen Yueying said, worried that Ye Liuyun lacked Divine Crystals and feeling shy to ask, so she offered proactively.

"That's enough for now. I have resources to cultivate Soul and bloodline; refining True Essence just needs Divine Crystals."

Ye Liuyun actually needs now the energy‑rich cultivation resources of Primordial Power. But such resources are scarce for Chen Yueying, and he can't ask her for them, so he must rely on Divine Crystals for now.

Future needed resources will have to be obtained by raiding the bandit nest.

There were two days left before they headed to the bandit‑clearing at Withered Wood Cliff; Ye Liuyun let Chen Yueying lead the way, while Liao Yaotian and others piloted the Flying Boat, and he returned to the Space World to refine his body with Refined Body Liquid.

While refining his body, he absorbed the remaining Divine Crystals to restore his Divine Core as much as possible. Those crystals weren't even enough to replenish ten percent of his Divine Core.

He used the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique to draw more from the air, and even extracted the Barbarian Bear's primordial pill to absorb. Thus, before reaching the bandit nest, his Divine Core had recovered to about half, enough for dangerous situations.

In ordinary battles, he can only rely on knife intent and the Golden Dragon Kuailei to assist.

The bandits' cultivation level here isn't high, roughly Taixu Second or Third Tier; Liao Yaotian and the others also got a chance to fight, but they weren't as swift as Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's knife intent, combined with Heaven and Earth Power and Spatial Power, struck one per slash; he didn't even need the Golden Dragon Kuailei. The others only dealt with two or three before the battle ended.

Fortunately, the bandits weren't too poor; Ye Liuyun's group found plenty of resources on them, so the trip wasn't in vain. These resources,

are enough for his road cultivation and to exchange for more Refined Body Liquid.

Ye Liuyun didn't wait to return to the Sect; he immediately found a local merchant guild and exchanged directly for Refined Body Liquid.

"Were the Refined Body Liquids you exchanged at the Sect all used up by you?"

Ye Liuyun's consumption rate surprised Chen Yueying again. In just two days on the road, he had exhausted over ten portions of Refined Body Liquid, which would astonish anyone.

In reality, Ye Liuyun only brewed one portion per day. He just couldn't reveal his Tenfold Speed time secret, so he said he used all the Refined Body Liquid together to boost the effect.

"That's wasteful! And after using too much Refined Body Liquid, it will gradually lose its effect over time!" Chen Yueying reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm! I've already felt it; the current effect isn't as good as at the start!"

He also felt that his absorption speed of Refined Body Liquid had slowed compared to the beginning. Yet he sensed he could still use it for a while; his Physical Body still has room to absorb.

As long as he can keep absorbing to improve, he won't stop.

Then they hurried to Black Water Pool without pause.

On their way to Black Water Pool to exterminate the Black Flood Dragon, Ye Liuyun again used all the freshly exchanged Refined Body Liquid, and with the remaining Crystal Stones, restored his Divine Core to about seventy‑or‑eighty percent, which should be sufficient against the Black Flood Dragon.

The Sect reported the Black Flood Dragon's level as Taixu Fourth Tier; Liao Yaotian and the others certainly couldn't help, so upon arrival they halted at a distance and let Ye Liuyun and Chen Yueying go alone.

The Black Flood Dragon, seeing Chen Yueying's level from afar, guessed she came to confront it, and Ma Shan dove into a pool of black water to hide.

"Taixu Fifth Tier, not Fourth. This Black Flood Dragon just broke through!" Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had already discerned the dragon's level, Ma Shan reminded Chen Yueying.

"How do you plan to deal with it?"

Chen Yueying asked Ye Liuyun, seeking to coordinate her attack.

"Don't go over there; I'll lure it out and spar with it, to see how much my Physical Body has improved."

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then had Chen Yueying retreat while he himself faced the Black Flood Dragon.
