Therefore, Li Qiuyang also noted down the unusual aspects of Lu Yu, Zhang Qiling, and Qi Zaige without intervening in any of their matters, treating them the same as other disciples with no significant difference.

However, since Zhang Qiling and Qi Zaige were often absent, there was more focus on observing Lu Yu's peculiarities.

After noting down the times Lu Yu's aura disappeared and reappeared today, Li Qiuyang no longer paid attention to Lu Yu and entered meditation to cultivate.

When Lu Yu was about to head to the magical tower to gain experience, a message came from Huang Ying saying that Guan Hai had already gathered 5.6 million to give to him.

Having previously noticed the close relationship between Lu Yu and Huang Ying, Guan Hai had no intention of defaulting, honestly gathering 5.6 million gold, preparing to send it to Lu Yu.

Since he couldn't contact Lu Yu directly, he had to ask Huang Ying to forward the message to Lu Yu.

Upon receiving Huang Ying's message, Lu Yu teleported to Yunhai City, met with Guan Hai, and collected the 5.6 million, while Huang Ying wanted Lu Yu to stay a few days, but Lu Yu had no time, so he declined, promising to come another time.

After all, he had already left coordinates in Yunhai City and could teleport there at any time without spending extra Contribution Points.

Huang Hongguang felt it was a pity that Lu Yu didn't stay; he still wanted to take another look at the Immortal's Guide Map.

After the recent battle of Yunhai, Huang Hongguang capitalized on the Healing Elixirs and natural treasures he accumulated in advance from the Immortal's Guide Map, making a considerable profit.

This convinced him that what he saw in the Immortal's Guide Map was real and useful, thus he wanted to glance at it again.

Regarding the idea of taking Lu Yu's Immortal's Guide Map, he didn't have that thought; he was more of a businessman rather than a martial cultivator focused on fighting.

He would use money to buy the Immortal's Guide Map instead of robbing with force.

But he understood, such a peerless treasure as the Immortal's Guide Map couldn't be measured with money, so he didn't propose to buy it from Lu Yu, just wanted another look.

Unfortunately, Lu Yu left too quickly, and he couldn't catch up to meet him.

The He family did have many ideas about Lu Yu, but unfortunately, Lu Yu didn't stay in Yunhai City long enough for them to act on those ideas.

However, the He family hadn't given up; they started employing their disciples in the Divine Weapon Pavilion to track Lu Yu, hoping to lure him out of the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm to seize his Immortal's Guide Map.

As for directly committing murder or theft within the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, no one dared to attempt it.

Within the secret realm, even if a disciple betrays their master, the elders cannot take lethal action against a disciple.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion has a dedicated Heart Inquiry Hall to handle such matters.

Of course, outside the secret realm, it's a matter of whose fists are stronger.

After returning to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, Lu Yu went straight to the magical tower.

Last time, he nearly wiped out all the demons on the tenth level of the tower, and their numbers hadn't recovered since then.

Spending 100 Contribution Points, he teleported into the tenth level of the magical tower, appearing directly in the light column leading to the next level as that's where he left last time.

If he hadn't left from within the light column, he would have teleported to the edge of the tenth level to avoid Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples being surrounded by masses of demons upon entry.

For other players, killing demons for experience points is the least cost-effective method because the demons' life force is incredibly enduring, and without enormous efforts to completely shatter and burn them, they can't be killed.

Without killing demons, they can't gain experience points.

However, for Lu Yu, low-tier demons aren't different from other monsters, as the Demon-Breaking Saber's power perfectly counters low-tier demons.

Perhaps against a demon general level stronghold, the Demon-Breaking Saber might not deliver lethal damage, but for low-tier demons in the magical tower, the saber's power is akin to deadly poison.

The Demon-Breaking Saber's power can effortlessly extinguish the demonic qi within low-tier demons, eliminating their fundamental survival factor and eradicating them from the source.

Without hesitation, Lu Yu stepped onto the eleventh floor, took one look around, and with one slash killed a thin-line demon hiding in a nearby tree trunk, gaining 125 experience points.

Lu Yu frowned; the demons here gave too little experience.

Now, the power equivalent to the first stage of Qi Cultivation and those equivalent to the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation for demons have no difference for Lu Yu, both result in one strike kills.

However, the experience points differ vastly.

Thus, Lu Yu hurried toward the center of the eleventh floor, where along the way, the demons couldn't even glimpse his shadow as he swiftly moved beyond their perception range.

Eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth... nineteenth floor, Lu Yu took less than ten minutes, averaging one minute per floor, which for Lu Yu's speed, covering such a distance in a minute was long.

From the tenth to the nineteenth floor, all the demons were basically of the first stage power of Qi Cultivation, with a few demons on the eighteenth and nineteenth floors at the second stage power, but Lu Yu ran too fast to encounter them.

Upon reaching the twentieth floor, his Identity Token vibrated, notifying him of receiving a climbing reward of 2000 Points.

Which is equivalent to 2000 Contribution Points.

On entering the twentieth floor, Lu Yu casually killed a demon attacking other Divine Weapon Pavilion disciples, gaining 186 experience points, and without stopping, continued upwards.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple who just barely avoided a demon attack upon entering the twentieth floor barely had the chance to thank Lu Yu for saving his life before Lu Yu disappeared from view.

Twentieth, thirtieth, fortieth, fiftieth, sixtieth, seventieth, eightieth, ninetieth floor.

Lu Yu didn't stop and charged straight to the ninetieth floor, where all the demons had the power equivalent to the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation. Compared to humans at the ninth stage, demons were harder to deal with, more powerful, had more resilient lifeforce, and stronger recovery abilities.

Aside from not using Spiritual Power, demons in all aspects outclass martial cultivators at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation.

Upon stepping into the ninetieth floor, Lu Yu was attacked, with seven or eight pitch-black long tongues hitting him, repelled by the surrounding heavenly aura, causing no damage.

These attacks couldn't even shake the heavenly aura.

Lu Yu fiercely stomped the ground, cracking it open and causing black blood to splash out as a black mass climbed out of the ground, with numerous black tendrils covering its back like mushrooms.

These tendrils could elongate and harden to be tougher than steel; it was these things that transformed into long tongues attacking Lu Yu.

Looking at the mass-like demon, Lu Yu released a wisp of Purple Flame Demon Fire, which extinguished on the demon's body without burning for long, and the demon showed no signs of pain.

"No soul? Or immune to soul damage?"

Both are possible, after all, demons aren't normal beings.

The Purple Flame Demon Fire not affecting it surprised Lu Yu, who thought it would have a special effect on demons with incomplete souls.

The surprise was there, but it wasn't the outcome he expected.

Since the Purple Flame Demon Fire didn't work, Lu Yu tried another technique, releasing a wisp of Yin Nether Cold Qi, which hit the demon, instantly slowing its movements, and its tendrils quickly extended to retaliate against Lu Yu.

The Yin Nether Cold Qi affected the demon but couldn't kill it.

Watching as its attacks bounced off himself, Lu Yu drew the Demon-Breaking Saber, decisively ending the demon's life, then summoned a wisp of Celestial Falling Bright Flame to burn its corpse to ashes.

Sure enough, against such abnormalities as demons, extreme high-temperature flames were needed to burn them, purifying them physically and spiritually.

Defeating the mass-shaped demon, Lu Yu gained 2345 experience points.

This outcome was acceptable for Lu Yu, who hefted the Demon-Breaking Saber and began a rampage mode on the ninetieth floor.
