The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 326 The Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique Given to Lu Ye, He Disdains It? Lu Ye, who frequently visits the Domain Lord's Palace

Lu Ye was somewhat surprised. Was such a thing even possible?

He picked up the secret manual that the Lord of the Nightshade Domain had sent over by Xia Chan and looked at it. He found that it was at least a high-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique.

However, Lu Ye put it down after only glancing at it twice.

"What, is it not to your liking?" Xia Chan was a little stunned. Even she was not qualified to cultivate this level of technique.

This outsider just picked it up, glanced at it, and then put it down?
Shouldn't one be so enamored with it that one would spend all one's time practicing with it, neglecting sleep and meals?

"Thank you for your kindness, Domain Lord." Lu Ye said to Xia Chan without saying much more.

This isn't a matter of whether it suits his taste or not. He doesn't plan to stay in the Nightshade Domain for long anyway. Even if he doesn't cultivate the same-origin techniques here, he doesn't really need to fight much, so being suppressed a bit doesn't matter.

"Keep these things safe. I'm going back to report now." With that, Xia Chan hurriedly left.

Watching Xia Chan leave, Lu Ye casually picked up a Source Crystal and sensed it slightly.

The energy itself isn't a big problem; it fluctuates similarly to normal source crystal energy. The only difference is that there's a faint trace of black energy inside.

After a moment's thought, he put all these things into his storage ring.

"We don't know what this black mist is, so we'll have to postpone its use for now."

Shaking his head, Lu Ye decided not to use any of the problematic resources from the Nightshade Domain, but instead to rely on his cultivation technique and the recovery pills he had on him.

"It's just some damage to the Acquired Realm, so using recovery pills would be a bit of a waste..."

After pondering for a while, Lu Ye decided to try limiting the absorption range to the small courtyard to see how fast the recovery would be.

After all, helping the Lord of the Nightshade Domain improve cannot be accomplished in one go; it will require at least many more times afterward.

Having a general understanding of your recovery speed in the Nightshade Domain is always a good idea.

The next moment, as Lu Ye activated his cultivation technique and intentionally controlled his absorption range, the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the courtyard began to slowly surge towards him.

As soon as he started absorbing it, Lu Ye immediately realized something was wrong.

The Starry Sky Scripture was not suppressed at all; on the contrary, it seemed to be... even more thriving!
If he hadn't suppressed the absorption range and speed, creating a cultivation speed befitting the acquired realm, Lu Ye had a feeling that if he unleashed his full power...

It can at least stir up the primordial energy of half of the vast Ghost King's underground palace!
It was even more exaggerated than when I was in Xuanzhou.

Since his Starry Sky Scripture was not here and was not subject to any major restrictions, Lu Ye was completely relieved.

For a period of time afterward, Lu Ye would be taken by Xia Chan to the center of the underground palace every two or three days.

At the same time, this news also reached the ears of You Zhan, the commander of the Nightshade Domain, through the mouths of other guards and maids.

In a city some distance from the Ghost King's Palace, You Zhan sat there with a rather unpleasant expression.

"What did you say?! That outsider not only settled down in the underground palace, but is also summoned by the Domain Lord from time to time?!"

A palace guard who was changing shifts nodded and said, "Lord Youzhan, this is absolutely true. Ever since you asked me to keep an eye on this person, I have noticed that he has been going to the Domain Lord's Palace quite often lately."

"Damn it!"

pat!

Enraged, You Zhan slapped the hard chair handle in half, sending wood chips flying.

Even he, the commander of the Nightshade Domain, couldn't stay in the underground palace for long, yet that ant-like outsider actually moved in!

Not only that, but they are also summoned by the domain lord from time to time?!

"Good! Very good! I, You Zhan, want to see what kind of skills this outsider has!" Just then, another voice suddenly came from outside.

"Commander Youzhan, what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."

The moment that voice appeared, You Zhan's expression changed as he sat in the room.

"Who are you?!"

Appearing at the door was a man dressed entirely in black, who looked leisurely at You Zhan sitting in a chair.

"Want to know who I am? It's simple, just follow me."

The man in black spoke calmly, and after finishing, he walked straight outside, seemingly unconcerned about whether You Zhan would follow.

You Zhan watched the black-clad man turn and slowly walk away, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. He really wanted to take action and capture the man directly.

But this is, after all, the city.

Even the slightest commotion of fighting would travel far and be noticed by others.

After a moment's thought, You Zhan ultimately did not act impulsively, but instead snorted coldly and followed.

The man in black seemed to be quite skilled as well. After leaving You Zhan's courtyard, he arrived outside the city in just a few leaps.

Without stopping, they leaped over a hundred miles before finally stopping at the foot of a hill.

You Zhan, who had been following closely behind, landed and said coldly, "Now it's time to explain your purpose. Who exactly are you, sneaking into my residence like this?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, You Zhan unleashed a powerful aura that swept over the man in black.

Although the man in black seemed to have decent cultivation, he was ultimately not as domineering as You Zhan, the commander of the Night Nether Domain.

Under this oppressive aura, the aura clearly fluctuated slightly.

A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes as the man in black said, "Commander You Zhan, there's no need to be angry. What I'm about to say... might interest you."

“Commander Youzhan, I know you are devoted to Lord Yeyou, and you have done a lot for Yeyou over the years.”

"But think about it carefully, when has the Lord of Nightshade ever given you a second glance?"

The man in black's words seemed to carry a hint of seduction: "Don't you really want the Lord of Nightshade to look at you differently? Or rather... to push her off that supreme position..."

“Only in this way can you have a true dialogue on an equal footing, instead of being treated like a loyal dog by her, summoned and dismissed at will.”

The man in black's words clearly struck a nerve with You Zhan, causing his face to change color instantly.

"What are you saying?! You call me a dog?! How dare you!"

Seeing that the battle was about to be exposed, the man in black clearly did not want this fifth-tier commander to completely erupt.

He then changed the subject, saying, "The commander's cultivation is high, so he's naturally not a dog... I was just using an analogy."

"Commander, you should think about your own position in front of that woman, Lord of the Nightshade Domain. You should know that yourself."

At this point, You Zhan's gaze indeed darkened.

His mind naturally recalled the time some time ago when that outsider, a mere newcomer, had come here and tried to take over the matter, only to be forced to kneel on the ground by Ye Youyu's intimidation.

Speaking of face, that high and mighty woman never seemed to give him, You Zhan, any face.
