Chapter 015: If You’re Going to Roll, Just Roll

What kind of person is Lu Ye?

Bai Qiulan has a pretty good grasp on that.

She has no grudge against Lu Ye; it’s just that she has never fully accepted their bizarre relationship.

At first, she could tolerate it under the pretext of helping her relieve the **Chaos Yin Poison**, clenching her teeth and forcing herself to endure the humiliation.

But after the poison was lifted, she could no longer tolerate such an immoral, unacceptable relationship.

Especially as a **Master**, being mocked by her disciple daily while she feels utterly useless… What kind of nonsense is that?

On top of that, with the persuasion from a few others, Bai Qiulan was torn inside, and struggling with her feelings, she decided to take action.

**Perfect Returning Yuan Dan**, **Perfect Returning Yuan Dan**.

These five words exploded like thunder in Yue Hongling’s mind.

“The **Heavenly Zombie Poison** freezes half of his power. In other words, when Senior Brother suffers from the **Heavenly Zombie Poison**, he can only use half his strength to condense the **Yuan Dan**. Is that why he chose to consume the **Perfect Returning Yuan Dan** himself?” Yue Hongling said urgently.

Bai Qiulan sighed.

“Most likely…”

At that moment, Yue Hongling’s eyes turned red.

She bit her lip so hard she drew blood, completely unaware.

What foolish thing has she done?

Half the true energy condensing a **Yuan Dan**, even if Senior Brother was once a **Celestial Lord**, he wouldn’t be able to create a good **Yuan Dan**; he probably wouldn’t even achieve a **Heavenly Tier Yuan Dan**.

Yet she only thought of herself, only thought that Senior Brother would rather waste the **Perfect Returning Yuan Dan** than give it to her.

Not for a second did she realize that Senior Brother’s refusal to give her the **Perfect Returning Yuan Dan** was actually due to his own hardships.

“Senior Brother, I’m sorry!” Yue Hongling shouted into the room.

She finally apologized.

But inside the room, there was no response.

Bai Qiulan is a **Refining Void strong person**, yet she had never pried into Lu Ye. At this point, she was getting anxious.

If the **Heavenly Zombie Poison** hadn’t disappeared, did the poison she used ever go away?

“Lu Ye, are you still in the room? I have something important to tell you!”

No one responded.

Bai Qiulan gritted her teeth and finally used her divine sense to probe the room.

To her dismay, the room was already empty.

Where’s Lu Ye?

Lu Ye had long left the room, and outside, Chu Ling was kneeling with three women causing a ruckus.

Right now, in Lu Ye’s eyes, every single woman in the world was just a stumbling block in his path.

So he simply found a quiet place to cultivate alone.

His cultivation had reached the brink of **Yuan Dan Eight Layer**, and his speed was astonishing.

Of course, just grinding away to cultivate wasn’t enough; he still needed some essential treasures.

For instance, there was an ancient key in the **Grand Dao Sect**, dormant for ages, and outsiders didn’t know its purpose, but Lu Ye knew—it was a crucial token to open the **God’s Grave Ridge**.

Buried within the **God’s Grave Ridge** was the remains of a fallen ancient god.

While the treasures of the ancient god might not be particularly valuable, a flower of divine blood had grown from the ancient god’s corpse. This divine blood flower was rare but essential for him to condense his first life.

Divine blood flower, **Wood Spirit Pearl**, **Xuan Yin Soul Fruit**!

All three treasures were indispensable.

For someone at the **Unity of Dao Realm** or **Refining Void Realm**, these three treasures might not be overly precious, but for someone at the **Yuan Dan Realm**, they were worth their weight in gold.

So, he needed to enter the sect’s disciple championship again, just like in his previous life.

Of course, this time, the competition would definitely be a million times easier.

Days turned into weeks.

Before long, it was already September; the mountains were cold early, and the maple trees were a fiery red.

Lu Ye’s cultivation had reached the **Yuan Dan Nine Layer**.

If he wanted to, he could break through right now, transforming his **Yuan Dan** into a fetus.

However, since the **Yuan Infant** represented his first life, he had to hold steady.

Since he couldn’t break through yet, Lu Ye decided to roll up his sleeves.

Let’s see if he could reach the **Yuan Dan Thirteen Layer**; if not, that was fine too.

“Dong!”

“Dong dong dong!”

The resounding bell echoed.

Divine light filled the sky.

A majestic voice rang out, “Order all peak masters to bring the disciples of the ninety-second generation to gather at the **Grand Dao Platform**!”

In an instant, swords of light from the seventy-two peaks shot into the sky, converging brilliantly on the main peak.

Lu Ye didn’t seek anyone out; a plain-looking magic sword landed at his feet, and he rode the winds to the main peak.

Crowds gathered at various peaks.

Lu Ye saw Bai Lan Peak but didn’t intend to approach.

Interestingly, Chu Ling had also come.

He ignored it; a few people from Bai Lan Peak came over voluntarily.

“Senior Brother, I’m sorry!”

“Young Master, I’m sorry!”

“Hub…”

Bai Qiulan almost blurted out an apology alongside the other two but quickly caught herself, breaking out in a cold sweat.

If she casually said “Husband, I’m sorry” in broad daylight, who knew what kind of uproar that would create?

Chu Ling and Yue Hongling were both drop-dead gorgeous, and with Bai Qiulan added in, their every move drew plenty of attention.

Seeing two stunning beauties apologize at the same time puzzled the crowd.

What’s going on?

Lu Ye had no interest in their apologies.

If apologies were useful, what need was there for swords?

He stepped away.

With each step he took, the three followed suit. When he moved, they moved, trailing behind him like a shadow.

Lu Ye…

Forget it; he’d definitely draw everyone’s attention soon, so he won’t hold back.

“Roll!”

The three stopped in their tracks simultaneously.

Lu Ye didn’t care and left again.

With so many gazes fixed on them, hearing Lu Ye’s reprimand, countless pairs of eyes widened in shock.

What?

Did I just hear that?

You actually told these three stunning women who were following and apologizing to you, “Roll”?

Did they wrong you in some way?

Chu Ling remained composed, smiling, and completely unfazed by Lu Ye’s rebuke as she continued to follow.

Yue Hongling’s face shifted between shades of green and red; she was the kind of person who cared about her reputation, and being scolded like that in public was simply too embarrassing.

“Roll then!” Yue Hongling huffed, stomping off in the opposite direction.

Bai Qiulan…

Her heart was worn out!

She followed Yue Hongling away.

Lu Ye initially thought this reprimand would send all three women packing, but unexpectedly, Chu Ling still trailed behind.

However, Lu Ye chose to ignore her entirely.

The Vice Sect Master of the **Grand Dao Sect** began to speak.

“The Grand Dao is majestic, humanity shines bright, the heavens have seasons, and humans have norms. Ghosts and demons wander, and monsters…”

But to the crowd, those words sounded a lot like, “In this golden autumn of September, we welcome the 90th disciple competition of the sect…”

He read out the rules and the rewards.

Then the Vice Sect Master announced, the disciple competition officially begins!

Everyone must participate; they’re not allowed to shrink back without battle, and everyone must give their all.

A two-in-one competition system.

Lu Ye understood it well; it was no different from his previous life.

So it could proceed as normal.
