Sage of Humanity
Chapter 917 - 915 Crimson Dragon Battle Suit

Moreover, Lu Ye himself has Defense Spirit Runes as a means of protection, so he basically does not need treasure garments or treasure armor.

But this time, he had no choice but to buy one. With Nian Yuexian going out, who knows what dangers they might encounter or what kind of enemies they might face. Having a treasure garment for protection offers a bit more survival capital.

The Hall of Battle Merits is not without better treasure garments. Not to mention the magic-artifact class, even the spirit-treasure class ones are available.

But considering Lu Ye's cultivation level, a top-grade magic-artifact class garment is already his limit. Higher-grade treasure garments would be difficult for him to activate.

However, the price of this treasure garment named Crimson Dragon Battle Suit is still quite steep.

No less than ninety thousand battle merits.

Compared to the over one hundred eighty thousand of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, its price is indeed just a fraction. But the Soul Suppressing Pagoda is a Soul Device that even strong cultivators in the Divine Sea Realm might not possess, so its rarity cannot be compared to a treasure garment.

But compared to other magic artifacts of the same quality, the price of ninety thousand battle merits is outrageously high.

Of course, you get what you pay for.

The inherently expensive nature of treasure garments and armor is one thing, but their quality is indisputable, especially at the level of supreme-grade magic artifacts.

Lu Ye pondered briefly before decisively exchanging his battle merits for this Crimson Dragon Battle Suit. His battle merits dwindled by ninety thousand in an instant, truly earned quickly and spent quickly.

The garment was quite heavy in hand, but its texture was smooth as silk—it was unclear what material was used to make it.

In the Nine Provinces, cultivators capable of sewing treasure armor and garments are extremely rare. If Pill Masters, array cultivators, and Artifact Refiners are special talents that big sects invest heavily to cultivate, those who can sew treasure garments are the special talents among special talents.

Although the Crimson Dragon Battle Suit bears the name of a dragon, it is obviously unlikely to be sewn from dragon scales, more likely from materials such as flood dragon skin.

Removing his original clothing and changing into the Crimson Dragon Battle Suit, Lu Ye instantly felt invigorated.

There's a saying that clothes make the man and saddles make the horse. Due to Lu Ye's experiences and personality over the years, he inevitably gives off an aura of killing intent when dealing with strangers. But after putting on this Crimson Dragon Battle Suit, much of his initial murderous aura dissipated, replaced by a bit of elegance and gentleness, as if he were a noble scion from a big family or sect.

Activating his spirit force and quietly sensing for a while, Lu Ye gained some understanding of this treasure garment's various features.

This treasure garment has a strong elasticity, which is beneficial for Lu Ye, because after he activates the Beast Transformation Secret Technique, his body will undergo some changes.

Twice before, when he activated the Beast Transformation Secret Technique, his clothes were torn to shreds, but wearing this Crimson Dragon Battle Suit would save him from such worries in the future.

Moreover, it seems this treasure garment can change its color...

When Lu Ye got it, the battle suit's color was a water blue, but upon activating his spirit force, the color of the suit rapidly changed...

After trying several colors, Lu Ye leaned towards a mix between dark red and black, and in the end, after some hesitation, he settled on black.

The elegant and gentle water blue ultimately did not suit his temperament; black appeared more profound.

With that, any image of being a noble scion from a big family or sect vanished into thin air, and Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction.

As for the pure white without imperfections... it was not even worth considering, as Lu Ye the Sect Destroyer did not match the purity of white at all.

Many sword cultivators liked to wear white clothes, like his Fourth Senior Brother, Li Baxian, whose clothes were white with flowing red cloud patterns. When his figure maneuvered, it resembled the magnificent sunset, giving an impression of unrestrained boldness, completely different from pure white.

That was how the outward appearance of the battle suit was.

As for its specific features and how much protective power it can provide, that needs to be tested in combat.

Lu Ye believed that his ninety thousand battle merits would not be spent in vain, for this is a product of the Hall of Battle Merits!

Leaving the Hall of Battle Merits, Lu Ye returned to his bamboo house.

Yiyi and Amber, who were staying there, immediately noticed the newly dressed Lu Ye and gathered around him, clicking their tongues in wonder as they circled him to inspect.

Lu Ye stood tall, making his figure appear mighty: "Looks good, right?"

Yiyi nodded repeatedly: "Looks good, really good. It would be even better if it were white."

"What taste!" Lu Ye glared at her, losing the thought of showing off, and sat down cross-legged, taking out the Breath Fruit Core, preparing to test the protective power of his new treasure garment in the Mirage Realm.

After a little more than half a day, Lu Ye opened his eyes, his brow furrowed.

It was not that the result was disappointing; rather, it exceeded his expectations. In the Mirage Realm, even the attacks from enemies with True Lake Level 4-5 cultivation could not break through the protection of the treasure garment.

A single treasure garment brought a significant boost to Lu Ye's strength, enhancing his survival capacity by at least thirty percent.

For others, such formidable protection from a treasure garment would naturally bring joy.

But Lu Ye did not lose his head over it.

External force is ultimately external. It can be used but cannot be relied upon... this can easily lead a combat cultivator to misjudge their true strength.

In the long run, it could incite blind confidence. The consequences would be unimaginable if, one day, a strong opponent shatters the protection of the treasure garment.

Nevertheless, this was not a reason to forgo the treasure garment altogether.

The ninety thousand battle merits spent can't just be shelved, so Lu Ye could only keep reflecting on himself silently at all times.

However, compared to the protection provided by the treasure garment, the consumption of spirit force in battle had obviously increased significantly. This was the price to pay when wearing the treasure garment to confront enemies.

In the midst of a fierce battle, attack is the best defense. Rather than consuming spirit force on defense, it's better to strike a few more blows.

The matter of the treasure garment was thus temporarily settled. After all, this trip was meant to handle official matters with Nian Yuexian, and having one more means of protection was beneficial.

Nian Yuexian gave him three days. In these three days for cultivation, his strength could no longer be enhanced.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and suddenly came up with an idea.

If that's the case, it seems feasible, doesn't it?

He quickly searched through his storage sack, looking for a communication stone, and infused it with spirit force.

Soon, he frowned because the communication stone showed no signs of resonance; in other words, the corresponding communication stone was not in the same realm as the one in his hand.

It was very likely that it had been put away in a storage sack.

After all, among the Nine Provinces, cultivators communicate mostly through battlefield markings, and provincial guards can also rely on guard tokens. Who would still use something as primitive as a communication stone?

But if the communication stone doesn't work, how should he find the other party? He can't just openly run into Gushan City again.

Last time he got away without incident and wasn't questioned, but this time might not be the same.

After thinking it over, Lu Ye quickly devised a plan, immersing his mind in his battlefield marking, searching for a brand he hadn't contacted in a long time, and sent out a message.

After a moment, the other party replied with a simple word: "Okay!"

Lu Ye stood up, walked out of the bamboo lodge, and soared into the sky.

In another bamboo lodge, Nian Yuexian felt something, opened her eyes to look in the direction where Lu Ye had disappeared, but didn't pay further attention.

The Cangyan Mountain Pass and the Gushan City Pass are separated by over a thousand miles. This thousand-mile stretch serves as a buffer zone between the two opposing camps and doesn't belong to either side.

In this area, close to the position of the Gushan City Pass, there is a small hill.

Upon arriving there, Lu Ye looked around but did not hide himself and casually found a spot to wait.

About an hour later, he suddenly sensed something unusual nearby and quietly used his mental consciousness to perceive.

He easily detected a familiar aura silently approaching, but since she was not a ghost cultivator, her stealth methods were not very sophisticated. To the current Lu Ye, it seemed somewhat sneaky.

Without revealing this, he continued to wait patiently.

After a while, accompanied by rustling sounds, a figure appeared in Lu Ye's sight.

Who came was undoubtedly a beauty, with a tall figure, delicate features, and a playful smile on her face, appearing meaningful.

She brazenly walked up and stopped three feet in front of Lu Ye, huffed, "Ye Liu? Or should I call you... Lu Yiye!"

The name Ye Liu was not one that Lu Ye had mentioned in front of many people. The number of people who knew this name did not exceed the fingers of one hand, and only one belonged to the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge.

At the time Lu Ye first arrived at the Cloud River battlefield, it was with Shen Xiaomao that he teamed up to guard a Class C Spirit Ground!

This clearly wasn't the real name of the other party, just like how she knew from the start that Ye Liu wasn't Lu Ye's real name either.

The difference was, Shen Xiaomao later found out about Lu Ye's details, but Lu Ye remained clueless about hers.

The familiar silhouette he saw before near the Cangyan Mountain volcano was indeed Shen Xiaomao. The two met because of a spirit ground at the Cloud River battlefield and experienced the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain together. Upon returning, the spring spirits in the spirit ground were plundered, and they parted ways, never meeting again.

Back then, both were at Cloud River, and Shen Xiaomao's cultivation was several layers higher than Lu Ye's.

Now both have reached the True Lake, yet Lu Ye's cultivation has surpassed hers.

"It's pointless to reveal the truth. Here, I'm just Ye Liu to you," Lu Ye responded indifferently, without much enthusiasm for meeting an old acquaintance.

Shen Xiaomao did not mind; in her impression, Lu Ye was exactly this way.

"You've got quite the guts to contact me. Are you not afraid I'll bring a group to surround and capture you? You might not know how big a bounty you're carrying on the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge side."

"That's old news. I've been behaving very well recently, and haven't troubled anyone from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. Is that bounty still up?" Recently, indeed nothing major was done, just led the Fire Spirit Race to Gushan City with Ying Wuji...

But Ying Wuji was involved in that too.

"Once a Bounty Order is issued, it's not easily retracted. Your head is valuable," she replied.

"Did you bring people then?" Lu Ye asked.

Shen Xiaomao pursed her lips and said, "You know exactly why you're asking."
