Chapter 83: The Secret of the Great Treasure

"What are you guys whispering about?" Lei Ting asked.

Tuoba Ye smiled and said, "Nothing much, just contributing to Qianyi's win of eight thousand yuanli dan."

"Right, the captain is just congratulating me," Qianyi hurriedly said.

"It's just eight thousand yuanli dan, no need to be so happy," Lei Ting shook her head.

Tuoba Ye smiled bitterly, "You're a young lady, of course you don't worry about yuanli dan. It's not easy for us to get a bit of yuanli dan. With my current cultivation, I only get eight yuanli dan per month."

"Captain, when I win the yuanli dan, I'll share some with you," Qianyi said generously.

Of course, he was being generous because he had a good impression of Tuoba Ye.

"I won't be polite then!" Tuoba Ye naturally welcomed it.

Recently, the members of the Divine Magic Squad had no yuanli dan for cultivation, all of it was used for betting.

This would affect the progress of the Divine Magic Squad members' cultivation. Tuoba Ye himself did not use yuanli dan for cultivation, so he could not require the other members to do the same.

Many members had limited prospects in the future, and they had to seize every moment to cultivate. As long as it could enhance their strength, they would adopt any method.

Although cultivators have longer lifespans than ordinary people, they are still limited. If they cannot improve their cultivation within their limited lifespan, they will eventually die of old age.

The third round's first day of competition did not include Tuoba Ye; he would have to wait until the next day.

Tuoba Ye had no choice but to wait until the next day to continue.

He was different from others, especially the leaders of the teams, who would attend the competition every day. He would only seclude himself for cultivation when he was not competing.

After a day of competition, Qianyi and Yang Bin went to collect their yuanli dan and then returned.

Back at the wooden house, Lei Ting found Tuoba Ye and Qianyi.

"Miss Lei Ting, what do you need from me?" Qianyi was inwardly excited but remained calm on the surface.

Tuoba Ye was also curious, not knowing what Lei Ting wanted.

"Qianyi, Tuoba Ye, I hope you don't rush to break through and become Qi Condensation Realm experts," Lei Ting said.

"Oh! Why is that?" Tuoba Ye was even more curious.

Although Qianyi did not speak, he was even more curious, his eyes shining.

"I can't tell you too much now, but it involves a great treasure and the future and destiny of our Pill Cauldron Sect," Lei Ting was unusually serious.

"Such an important matter, it seems we should pay attention!" Tuoba Ye smiled.

Qianyi said, "No problem, I just became a Nine-star Innate Martial God not long ago. It's not easy to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm."

"I don't need to remind you either. I'm only an Eight-star Innate Martial God, far from the Qi Condensation Realm," Tuoba Ye laughed.

Lei Ting warned, "This is a great opportunity. If you become Qi Condensation Realm experts, you won't be able to participate."

"Does that mean the treasures we get will all belong to us?" Tuoba Ye's eyes lit up.

"Of course! But the alchemy secrets need to be copied for the sect," Lei Ting said.

"What if there are no alchemy secrets?" Tuoba Ye countered.

Lei Ting smiled, "If there are none, then there are none. There's no need to force it. Of course, if you are willing to contribute the treasures you get from the great treasure to the sect, the sect will give you sufficient rewards."

"Let's talk about those things later. Getting the treasures won't be easy," Tuoba Ye said calmly.

Seeing that Tuoba Ye was not taking it seriously, Lei Ting was anxious, "You guys, such an opportunity is rare. It seems I have to beg you."

Qianyi wanted to say something but was stopped by Tuoba Ye, "Miss Lei Ting, if it's a great treasure, it won't just be our Pill Cauldron Sect's disciples participating. There will be a struggle, and whether we can come out alive is uncertain. Talking about treasures now is just speculation. If you have detailed information, it would be better to give it to us for study."

"This great treasure is known to all cultivation sects and families in the Divine Martial Continent. They will likely send experts to try their luck," Lei Ting said. "The great treasure will open in a few months. I'm telling you now so that you can work hard to improve your cultivation, but don't break through to the Qi Condensation Realm. The great treasure suppresses cultivation, allowing only those below the Qi Condensation Realm to enter. As for detailed information, I don't have it either, so your speculation is in vain."

"Alright, we'll be careful. Qianyi, right?" Tuoba Ye said calmly.

"Sure!" Qianyi was also calm, a stark contrast to his previous enthusiasm.

Lei Ting found it strange, not knowing why Qianyi had changed.

Of course, she wouldn't ask, as she preferred Qianyi to be like this, avoiding many troubles.

If Qianyi knew Lei Ting's thoughts, he would be extremely depressed.

He was in a very good mood because Lei Ting still thought of him for good things, which made him very excited.

"Let's go cultivate now that we've finished talking." Lei Ting left first, and Tuoba Ye and the others returned to their wooden houses.

Back in the wooden house, Tuoba Ye recalled Lei Ting's words and felt a bit excited.

Lei Ting had an impressive background, and her serious tone indicated that the great treasure was not simple.

Although Tuoba Ye had divine roots and the Divine Punishment Jade Talisman, he could not use them. The Cosmic Ring was a good treasure but lacked power and could not enhance his combat strength. The only other treasure he had was a first-grade spirit weapon, the Tiger-Slaying Saber. He needed some transitional treasures to boost his combat strength.

In terms of cultivation techniques, he was not lacking in body cultivation techniques, but he truly lacked martial skills. The Overlord Divine Fist was already a top martial skill in the secular world, but for cultivators, it was not considered a great martial skill.

Since he mainly cultivated the body, he needed to collect some powerful martial skills to leverage the advantages of body cultivation.

He needed treasures, and the great treasure was a tremendous opportunity for him.

Moreover, with the journey to the great treasure, he could explain his mastery of the Nine Transformations of the Divine and the Divine Talisman Path, which he dared not reveal now. He had already decided to go to the great treasure.

His talent was not outstanding, but if he could win the championship, he believed Lei Ting and the higher-ups of the Pill Cauldron Sect would make a choice.

Tuoba Ye calmed his mind and began to cultivate.

His yuanli cultivation was only at the Eight-star Innate Martial God level, which was still quite low. He started to cultivate his yuanli strength with all his might, hoping to become a Nine-star Innate Martial God as soon as possible.

In fact, if not for the Divine Punishment Jade Talisman and divine roots absorbing 90% of the heaven and earth yuanli, Tuoba Ye would have already become a Nine-star Innate Martial God, or even a Qi Condensation Realm expert.

The cultivation technique he practiced was simple but used divine consciousness to absorb heaven and earth yuanli, making the speed extraordinary.

However, he had not used the spirit attraction talisman recently, so the speed had slowed down.

Tuoba Ye spent the entire night cultivating, and time passed quickly.

The third round was expected to last two days, and today was the last day. Tuoba Ye would definitely participate.

Today, over a hundred members of the Divine Magic Squad followed Lei Ting to the Six Paths Squad's viewing stand.

Since Tuoba Ye had defeated a Six Paths Squad expert, the Six Paths Squad members naturally did not look kindly upon him.

Tuoba Ye pretended not to notice and closed his eyes to rest.

"This Tuoba Ye is too arrogant! If I encounter him, I'll give him a good lesson," said Duan Hongfei, the deputy captain of the Six Paths Squad.

Duan Hongfei was predicted to enter the top ten this year and was eighth last year, with very strong capabilities.

"Brother Fei, you must take revenge for me!" Liang Tian said.

"Don't worry, leave it to me," Duan Hongfei took on the responsibility.

Bi Yuntian frowned, "Duan Hongfei, if you face Tuoba Ye, don't be careless. He must be no ordinary person to be a target of Miss Lei Ting."

If Tuoba Ye heard Bi Yuntian's words, he would only smile bitterly.

He was valued because he became a target of Lei Ting, showing how extraordinary she was and how extraordinary her targets were.

"Captain, don't worry. If I really encounter him, I won't be careless. No matter how strong the opponent is, I will do my best to win," Duan Hongfei said.

He still did not take it seriously, which was understandable, as he was in the top eight last year and was even more confident now.

Bi Yuntian did not say more, as it would be futile.

The competition progressed quickly, and soon it was Bi Yuntian's turn.

Knowing that Bi Yuntian was about to compete, Tuoba Ye opened his eyes and paid attention.

Bi Yuntian was a favorite to win the championship and was naturally a competitor for Tuoba Ye.

Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

Tuoba Ye understood this principle and wanted to learn more about Bi Yuntian.

Although Qi Condensation Realm experts do not focus on martial skills, there are exceptions.

Bi Yuntian's fame was significant, so he must have a trump card.

Bi Yuntian's opponent in this round was strong, a Nine-star Innate Martial God who ranked in the top thirty last year and was even stronger this year.

The opponent did not concede, but the gap between him and Bi Yuntian was too large.

Bi Yuntian did not even use a spirit weapon. He used a palm technique for close combat and knocked the opponent off the stage in three moves.

"Amazing! His body technique and palm technique are both at a masterful level," Tuoba Ye praised.

He wondered if he would have to use some divine strength to win against Bi Yuntian.

Moreover, Bi Yuntian had not revealed his true strength, and no one knew how strong he really was.

It was not just Tuoba Ye who had a trump card; others might also have the ability to challenge higher ranks.

Tuoba Ye no longer underestimated these outer sect disciples. He did not want to lose the competition due to carelessness and miss the championship.

Qianyi said, "Bi Yuntian is indeed strong. If I encounter him, I have no confidence in winning."

He was self-aware and did not exaggerate.

"Bi Yuntian is much stronger than you see. Don't assume this is his true strength," Lei Ting said.

Tuoba Ye asked, "Miss Lei Ting, the matter you mentioned yesterday, Bi Yuntian and Jue Wuxing should also be involved, right?"

"That's right. They are the ones I have in mind, but the final participants have not been determined yet," Lei Ting said.

Tuoba Ye smiled bitterly, "If I have to act with them in the future, it will be inconvenient."

"Tuoba Ye, whether you can join is still uncertain. Why are you so anxious?" Lei Ting laughed.
