Everyone is Cultivating Immortals in the Wasteland, My Cave is Full of Goddesses

14: The second-level peak ghost!Bai Jie felt a wave of embarrassment; this palm-sized kitten actually disliked her.

And to her surprise, she discovered that this little kitten was a Yao Beast at the Qi Refining First Layer.

Li Ye explained it to her, and only then did she understand that it was a Two-Tailed Spirit Cat that had just run over.

Li Ye then named the Two-Tailed Spirit Cat Er Mi.

”Er Mi, this is your master’s Dao Companion, and also your mistress.”

Er Mi tilted her head, her adorable big eyes showing a faint hint of jealousy, but she was still very obedient to Li Ye’s words, so she could only nod.

Then Li Ye took out the Xuan Tian Sword from the System; the Xuan Tian Sword had a silver blade, shimmering with sword light and exuding a sense of sharpness.

Li Ye had a premonition that with this Profound Rank High Grade Spiritual Artifact specifically for killing enemies, even a First-Order High Grade or First-Order Peak Yao Beast, he would be confident in defeating it!

After practicing with the sword for a while, Li Ye posted a message on the trading market.

Eternal Night: [Those who need Wash Marrow Pill refined can find me. The cost is 15 Spirit Stones or five portions of Spirit Medicine for refining. One portion of Spirit Medicine consists of three portions of Scarlet Silk Grass and one portion of Hengxin Grass.]

Now, a small number of people already knew the formula for refining Wash Marrow Pill, so Li Ye was not stingy and posted the required medicinal materials on the trading market.

He would refine Medicinal Pills for a while, and then go out for a stroll.

Subsequently, various comments appeared below the transaction.

According to yesterday’s ranking, everyone already knew that Eternal Night, who had been active in the trading market recently, was the strong expert who ranked first in the three charts of cultivation, combat power, and Medicinal Pills. Moreover, some people also noticed that Eternal Night might be Li Ye, who was globally announced back then.

”Oh my, is that Eternal Night, the great expert who ranked first in all three charts?”

”Definitely! Eternal Night must be the first player to refine Medicinal Pills. Yesterday, he made a lot of Spirit Stones by leveraging this information gap!”

”Sigh, I’m still worried about survival, while Eternal Night’s cultivation has been steadily rising.”

”If only I could be Eternal Night’s Dao Companion.”

Soon, someone sent him a private message.

Selling Water Little Girl: [Hello, Eternal Night, great expert, is four portions of Spirit Medicine acceptable? I don’t have that much.]

Li Ye was quite familiar with the ID ”Selling Water Little Girl.”

The two had traded several times in the past few days.

However, that didn’t mean Li Ye was willing to lower the price for her.

Eternal Night: [Currently, the probability of refining Wash Marrow Pill is too low. If it’s four portions, I might end up losing money.]

In fact, four portions would not result in a loss, but Li Ye also had to guard against bad luck, and earning more was better.

Selling Water Little Girl: [I’m willing to give you 20 more bottles of water.]

Li Ye frowned.

Eternal Night: [The value of food is constantly decreasing now. Although 20 bottles of water are precious, they are just ordinary resources to me. I’m only willing to exchange them for meat.]

Selling Water Little Girl: [Then I’ll give you two more Low-Grade Spirit Stones?]

After some bargaining, Li Ye finally obtained four portions of medicinal materials and four Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Ye was very lucky and refined two pills, giving one to the Selling Water Little Girl.

At this time, people kept coming to him, asking him to refine Wash Marrow Pill.

In one morning, Li Ye obtained over thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones and seven Wash Marrow Pills.

He consumed two Wash Marrow Pills and broke through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

”Wow, no wonder Alchemists are so popular in cultivation novels. Now, with the appreciation manual and my keen insight, maintaining the top spot is quite simple.”

However, what made Li Ye laugh and cry was that the Spirit Stones required to break through from Qi Refining Fifth Layer to Sixth Layer actually amounted to two hundred.

Could it be due to having a Three Spiritual Root? The medium Aptitude consumed too many Spirit Stones!

After consuming twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Li Ye fed Er Mi ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones, plus one Wash Marrow Pill, and Er Mi broke through to the Qi Refining Second Layer.

Her small delicate body also grew a bit; she was just palm-sized when born, but now she was already twenty to thirty centimeters long.

And the nails on her four tiny paws also became sharp.

Li Ye took out the Waterball Technique; he wanted to see if Er Mi could learn it.

Because Er Mi had a Water Spiritual Root, she could learn it.

[Do you want your Spiritual Pet: Er Mi to learn Human Rank Low Grade Divine Ability, Waterball Technique?]

[Yes!]

Now it seemed that water resources would no longer need to be purchased, and he could even compete with the Selling Water Little Girl.

After having lunch with the woman and the cat, feeling full and satisfied, Li Ye used the exchanged ribbon to tie Er Mi’s eyes. While the latter was puzzled, Li Ye and Bai Jie had two or three fights.

Speaking of ribbons, Li Ye and Bai Jie’s current clothes were all bought from the trading market.

The trading market was becoming increasingly diverse, and everyone had found their main occupations.

For example, the Selling Water Little Girl, and ”I am a Moron” who sold ore.

Or some people whose birthplace was near many kapok trees, so they specialized in selling clothes, and so on.

In the afternoon, Li Ye prepared to go out. Bai Jie hesitated for a moment, then followed him.

From her eager expression, Li Ye knew that she also wanted to come along.

After thinking about it, both Bai Jie and Er Mi were at the Qi Refining Second Layer, but most people were currently at the Qi Refining First Layer, so he decided to bring them along, which would also provide some experience.

Thus, Li Ye handed the Spiritual Axe to Bai Jie.

”This is for your self-defense.”

Bai Jie was delighted and quickly accepted it.

Li Ye arrived at an open space in front of the Withered Tree Forest, about half a li in front of his Immortal Cave.

He took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone and then used the Xuan Tian Sword to chop it into powder.

Currently, most people probably didn’t have fruits or rice to eat. If he could successfully plant the tomato and wheat seeds he obtained earlier, wouldn’t he be able to make a fortune?

He decided to act on it immediately.

The Wasteland could not be planted, but after being improved by Spirit Stones, it might be possible.

With this thought, he had Er Mi and Bai Jie scatter Spirit Stones nearby.

Then he sowed the tomato and wheat seeds and covered them with soil.

He wasn’t sure if this would work.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Ye first checked the Withered Tree Forest as usual. There were no medicinal materials left in the Withered Tree Forest; either they were still growing, or there were none left there.

Helpless, he could only continue to walk forward with the woman and the cat.

During this time, they encountered some weak First-Order Low Grade Yao Demons and Yao Beasts, which Li Ye let Bai Jie and Er Mi practice with.

At first, Bai Jie didn’t dare to act, but she had shamelessly followed him out because she didn’t want to be Li Ye’s vase. So, she bit her silver teeth, overcame her fear, and took action.

Er Mi, on the other hand, was very bold. Under Li Ye’s care, she defeated many of the weakest Evil Spirits and Yao Beasts.

As they walked further and further, after searching an ordinary house, Li Ye found a blueprint similar to a treasure map.

[Obtained Unknown Strange Flame Treasure Map Fragment × 1]

Strange Flame!

There was actually a Strange Flame in the Wasteland!

It made sense, since cultivation existed, what else wouldn’t?

According to novels and TV shows, Strange Flames could provide a great boost to combat power and Alchemy.

But unfortunately, it was just a fragment. Looking at this palm-sized blueprint, he knew that perhaps many fragments would be needed.

Just as Li Ye was searching the next few new houses, he found nothing inside, immediately realizing that someone might have been there already.

”Let’s go, let’s look further ahead. It’s still early.”

Li Ye finished speaking and kept walking north.

At this moment, signs of battle appeared ahead.

A three-meter-tall Ghoul was being attacked by two people.

The two people’s attire was not modern clothing, but ancient-style white robes, and their eyes held killing intent towards the Ghoul.

[Ding! Detected a Second-Order Peak Yao Demon, Adult Ghoul!]

Upon receiving the news, Li Ye’s pupils instantly constricted.

Second Order was Foundation Establishment Stage!

He actually encountered a Ghoul at the Foundation Establishment Peak!

This indicated that the other two humans were also Foundation Establishment strong experts, and perhaps even original resident of the Barren Ancient Star!

Subsequently, he quickly retreated with Bai Jie and Er Mi.

Let alone a Foundation Establishment Peak, even a Foundation Establishment Stage, he had no way to deal with it.

The two people also saw Li Ye, but they ignored him because Li Ye was just a small Qi Refining Stage weakling to them.

Li Ye didn’t stay to watch the excitement but quickly fled with Bai Jie.

Just then, the Ghoul roared, found a flaw in one person, grabbed him, slammed him to the ground, and then sprayed black liquid, corroding him to death.

”Gugululu, Lulu Yaya Ya, Mi Ni Ma?”

The other white-clothed Cultivator roared with red eyes when he saw his companion die.

It’s just that Li Ye couldn’t understand him.

And in his desperate situation, he quickly detonated his Dantian. The Spiritual Qi explosion caused by the Dantian directly killed the Adult Ghoul on the spot!

But the Cultivator’s body also exploded, and he did not survive.
