Chapter 005 What

Silence.

No one paid attention to Yue Hongling.

Three days later, Yue Hongling returned to the Great Dao Sect in a huff, heading straight to Lu Ye's residence.

Lu Ye was preparing to condense his pill at that moment.

Yue Hongling raised her foot, ready to kick the door open, but seeing the door she had just made, she ultimately didn't do it.

However, it was clear that she had no manners and didn't knock, just pushed the door open.

"Bang!"

As soon as Yue Hongling pushed the door open, a fist came flying towards her face.

She reacted quickly and hurriedly blocked it.

But her body was still sent flying backward, her internal energy surging, and her face flushed red.

The door closed.

"Lu Ye!"

Yue Hongling was so angry that she didn't even call him "senior brother," directly shouting his name.

Lu Ye ignored her.

This habit of opening doors without permission was something he had disliked in his previous life, but he could tolerate it.

Sometimes, even when he was in the middle of a deep conversation with someone, she would barge in and force herself into the discussion.

This habit of hers had never changed.

And now, who do you think you are?

Yue Hongling took a deep breath, took another deep breath...

People won't learn until they are taught by experience!

For the first time in her life, she knocked on Lu Ye's door.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Get lost!"

Yue Hongling...

Don't get angry, don't get angry, getting sick from anger is no one's concern.

"Did you take the Perfect Recovery Pill from the ancient tomb?"

"No, get lost!"

Yue Hongling's words were choked back before she could say them.

He said no?

He doesn't admit it?

"You actually deny it, Lu Ye, how have you become like this?"

Lu Ye remained silent.

"Answer me!"

Lu Ye remained silent.

"You have the guts to take the elixir, then have the guts to open the door!"

"Don't hide inside and stay silent, I know you're home!"

"Lu Ye, open the door!"

The door opened, and a hint of triumph appeared on Yue Hongling's face.

However, what greeted her triumphant expression was a fist, a fast and fierce fist.

"Bang!"

The fist landed on Yue Hongling's bright and lively big eye, causing her to stagger back.

Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Yue Hongling let out a scream, she was truly mad, fearlessly lunging towards Lu Ye.

And Lu Ye, who respected every opponent.

Come on, attack me, and then, be killed by me!

A white figure gracefully landed, blocking Yue Hongling's path, stopping her deadly charge.

"Hong Ling, calm down!"

Yue Hongling stopped, one of her eyes black and purple, showing the full force of Lu Ye's punch.

"Master, wuwuwu, he hit me..." Yue Hongling couldn't bear such grievance, unsure if she was crying from the eye pain or the heartache.

Bai Qiulan frowned slightly, looking at Lu Ye.

"Why did you hit your junior sister?"

Lu Ye gave a respectful answer, "I wanted to!"

Bai Qiulan...

"Master, look at him!"

Bai Qiulan sighed lightly, "I know you hold resentment, but after all, she is your junior sister."

Lu Ye's lips curled slightly.

"And so she can enter someone's room without knocking?"

"Can she demand attention when she feels like ignoring her?"

Bai Qiulan's frown deepened.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Hong Ling, what did you come to see your senior brother for?" Bai Qiulan asked.

She knew that Lu Ye harbored some resentment in his heart, which was somewhat normal given what had happened. After all, who could remain completely unresentful?

"He took the Perfect Recovery Pill. I need it, but he doesn't, so I wanted to ask him to exchange it," Yue Hongling said with a grievance.

Bai Qiulan immediately understood.

Among the eight of them, Yue Hongling was the one with the poorest aptitude. Back then, Lu Ye had gone to great lengths to keep Yue Hongling by his side.

"Since your junior sister needs it and you have no use for it, why not give the Perfect Recovery Pill to her? If you lack anything, you can tell me, and I'll get it for you."

Lu Ye shook his head gently.

"Sorry, I need the Perfect Recovery Pill too."

"That's impossible! With your aptitude, you don't need the Perfect Recovery Pill to condense a Core at all!" Yue Hongling said with a grievance.

"That's right, Lu Ye. With your aptitude and cultivation level, you can condense a Sacred Pill without the Perfect Recovery Pill!"

"I said I need it, so I need it. Don't bother me with anything else!" Lu Ye said impatiently, then turned and left.

"Lu Ye, do you really think I can't condense a Sacred Core without the Perfect Recovery Pill?" Yue Hongling was almost exploding.

Lu Ye paused, then turned around.

In his hand appeared the Perfect Recovery Pill.

Both Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan were stunned, especially Bai Qiulan, who felt a sense of pride in Lu Ye.

Then, Lu Ye opened his mouth and directly swallowed the Perfect Recovery Pill in front of them.

He turned and left!

What on earth!

Both Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling were left speechless.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut heavily.

Both of them fell silent.

"He wasn't like this before..."

Bai Qiulan tried to understand Lu Ye. After all, they had indeed hurt him, but Lu Ye had also been at fault initially.

Now, starting over and setting everything right would be enough. Was there really a need to be so ruthless?

Yue Hongling's neat, white teeth were almost ground to dust.

"I refuse to believe that I can't condense a Sacred Pill without the Perfect Recovery Pill!"

"I will definitely condense a Sacred Pill and slap you in the face!"

Yue Hongling shouted towards Lu Ye's room.

Lu Ye ignored her; he had already started condensing his Core.

Bai Qiulan watched Yue Hongling leave in a huff and suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold around her.

Was it getting colder?

She looked up at the sky.

The sun was shining brightly.

...

Breakthrough successful!

As expected, a Saint-level Core.

This meant that the flaw of not reaching the extreme state in his first step was now compensated.

Cultivation is like building a tall tower.

Every step is crucial, and any flaw in any step will be infinitely magnified as the tower grows higher.

In his later cultivation journey, he had suffered immensely to compensate for the flaw in his first step.

He had tried many methods but could never fix it.

This was why Lu Ye was so confident in forming his Core now.

Because he had simulated it countless times.

After the breakthrough, he continued cultivating with a single command.

His strength began to soar.

In four days, he broke through to the second layer of the Core.

In sixteen days, he broke through to the third layer of the Core.

In thirty days, he broke through to the fourth layer of the Core.

As his strength continuously broke through, the divine abilities that originally belonged to him also began to awaken one after another.

During Lu Ye's frenzied cultivation period, many interesting things happened at the Chu Sword Manor.

Chu Ling returned to the Chu Sword Manor and once again became the beloved young lady who was doted on by everyone.

To ensure her safety, the manor assigned eight powerful guards to protect her at all times.

However, Chu Ling noticed a problem.

Her biological parents were missing.

She inquired and was told by Ceng Shuiyue that due to her disappearance, her biological parents had no more attachment to the Chu Sword Manor and had returned to their hometown.

Chu Ling understood, as her biological parents had already received a lot of money and could live a good life back home.

Another thing was that Chu Si had disappeared.

She asked Ceng Shuiyue, who told her that Chu Si had left the Chu Sword Manor to travel the world in search of opportunities.

She was immersed in the warmth of familial love.

Unconsciously, the most critical step for the Demon Sword had arrived.
