Improve my realm? Ye Luo immediately lit up with delight; this was exactly what he needed the most right now!
"Hehe, then your husband will reluctantly be your test subject. Just how many fruits do you have?" Ye Luo rubbed his hands together and grinned.
Xin Lan shot him a glare. "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re working on the Wudang Sect right now; how could you be short on lab rats? You’ve seen the fruits here yourself, there should be several hundred at least! And for this kind of fruit, a warrior can eat at most three. Any more and there’ll be no effect, it’ll even backfire instead!"
Ye Luo didn’t expect these fruits to be all that amazing anyway. He knew very well what those loose cultivators on the mountain were like. As long as the recruited disciples gained some combat strength, Ye Luo would already be satisfied.
After that, Ye Luo swept all those fruits into his Qiankun Ring in one go.
"These are what I specially saved for you!"
Xin Lan held out three bright red fruits in front of Ye Luo.
Ye Luo looked at her in surprise. "With my current realm, taking this kind of fruit shouldn’t do much, right?"
There was another point: the Spiritual Energy and Rule Power in Ye Luo’s body were different from the outside world. What flowed within him was the purest Rule Power, while the Rule Power inside these fruits, although containing some ancient rules, still had some impurities after being transformed. This was something unavoidable.
"They’re for tonifying your kidneys!" Xin Lan said blandly.
Fuck! Ye Luo’s eyes immediately went wide.
"Do you think I’m not tough enough?" Ye Luo instantly got annoyed. This was clearly looking down on him!
"Get lost. A cultivator’s kidneys are very special; Spiritual Energy can’t nourish them at all. They’re the most fragile part of a cultivator’s body. Later you’ll see, the first thing to age is definitely the kidneys. Even those ancient cultivators couldn’t avoid this. It’s also a major research topic of the Zhongzhou Empire!"
Xin Lan rattled on for a long time, but what she basically meant was: cultivators have to tonify their kidneys too!
Still, there was some logic to it.
Moreover, Ye Luo’s body was already extremely tough. It had been remodeled by the Fire Origin before, and that Chaotic Power was still in his body even now; who knew what the eventual result would be. But one thing was certain: the toughness of his body had very likely reached the Martial Emperor Realm. Of course, that was only in terms of toughness; in terms of Strength, he naturally didn’t measure up.
Even so, no matter how strong his body had become, his kidneys indeed hadn’t improved much!
In other words, when it came to certain physical functions, there hadn’t been much improvement compared to his previous realm!
Thinking of this, Ye Luo took those three fruits and wolfed them down.
"You... just ate them like that?" Xin Lan’s eyes went round.
Ye Luo had just opened his mouth to speak when his expression suddenly turned strange. He immediately pounced on Xin Lan and pinned her to the ground.
"You bastard, you’re only supposed to eat one a month, and you actually took all of them! Ah!"
Of course, Shui Yuehan didn’t escape either. Luckily, time in the small world flowed differently from the Demon Realm; otherwise, who knew how long they would have been delayed.
When Ye Luo opened his eyes, Qiong Yao and Ling’er were standing in front of him.
"Ye Luo, your clothes," Ling’er said softly.
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment before realizing something was wrong. Those few fruits really had put him through the wringer.
"Ahem, what are you two doing here?"
"Have you forgotten? Today’s the sect disciple selection! It’s almost noon already!" Ling’er said.
The disciple selection? Ye Luo was immediately a little shocked.
"Don’t tell me... two days have already passed?"
The two girls both nodded heavily.
The area of Mount Wudang was really quite large, especially that plaza. Even with over a thousand people standing there, it didn’t feel crowded at all.
As soon as Ye Luo appeared, he saw a sea of people, heads packed together like grains. He narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed those loose cultivators from before weren’t this many, were they?
But he could tell that some freeloading cultivators had come to try their luck. Of course, these people weren’t sent by any forces, but were those old foxes!
As long as any Sect was recruiting disciples, they’d go try their luck. The talent of these people was actually worse than those mine workers; they’d only made it onto the cultivation path through some special means.
Once these people entered a Sect, they’d just be freeloaders, and they were seasoned old foxes too. They’d never be grateful to Ye Luo, much less loyal.
So Ye Luo quietly took note of these people. He’d tell Qiong Yao later to toss the lot of them out.
No way in hell was the Wudang Sect a place for freeloaders.
This time the one presiding over the selection was Xiao Wu. Ye Luo was the Sect Leader after all; he couldn’t personally host it. He was only here to do the final screening.
Xiao Wu was actually quite experienced in this. Whether in terms of aura or procedure, he handled everything very smoothly.
On top of that, his realm was already at the third level of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Even in those Great Sects, he could barely count as Elder-level, so the disciples were quite respectful and fearful of him.
The selection was divided into two stages. One was to test Strength; obviously, ordinary people could never be chosen!
Soon the crowd grew noisy, and those freeloading cultivators were all driven out.
Of course, Wudang’s manpower alone wasn’t enough, so Ye Luo specially had those eighty disciples from the Qiankun Sect come help.
Anyway, all of them were under Ye Luo’s command now. He’d be a fool not to use them!
There turned out to be over a hundred of those freeloaders, which left Ye Luo a bit stunned.
The subsequent part of the selection wasn’t anything special. Among so many loose cultivators, those who had reached the Earth Martial Realm were extremely rare! Of course, there were a few Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators as well, but they all had various defects, so they couldn’t really be counted.
Just then, Ye Luo’s eyes suddenly snapped open. He wasn’t looking at those loose cultivators, but off into the distance.
Soon, a clamor of noise drifted over.
A large number of cultivators suddenly surged up from the foot of the mountain. Their aura was fierce, killing intent soaring to the sky! They were actually disciples from those dozens of Sects!
Seeing these people, everyone immediately knew what was going on.
These Sects had clearly colluded and were about to make a move on the Wudang Sect.
At this scene, those loose cultivators were scared silly on the spot. After all, the ones coming to besiege Wudang were at least Earth Martial Realm cultivators. There were actually dozens of Heavenly Martial Realm experts! And there were close to a dozen Martial Kings as well!
From this lineup, it was obvious those Sects wanted to flatten Wudang and utterly annihilate Ye Luo.
So how would those loose cultivators still dare to join the Wudang Sect? Wouldn’t that be seeking death?
