Whether it was Yunshu, Music Leaf, Plum Blossom House, Zhuge Yan, Lin Qingyu, or the three strange guardian beasts, they could all see the blank look on Lu Que's face. It was definitely not an act. Looking at Lu Que's confused expression, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. Although they had many questions, they did not know how to answer them in this situation. From Lu Que's appearance, even if they asked, they would not be able to get an answer out of him.

In the past, it was not as if no one had broken through to the Great Illusory Heart Array. In the past, Yun Shu had also managed to break through to a new level within the Great Illusory Heart Array. Otherwise, those people that had been stuck at the peak of the tribulation for many years wouldn't have thought to use the Great Illusionary Heart Array to break through to their current boundary. However, a person who had broken through to the second rank like Lu Que had never seen or heard of a beast guarding a Phantom Heart Array, not even a powerful person like Yunshu and the other two. They had been here for more than two hundred years.

However, Lu Que was right in front of their eyes. Moreover, they did not feel any kind of elixir from Lu Que. Although they could not understand it, they could not help but believe it. Even with their cultivations, they could feel the surging Qi and blood within Lu Que's body. He was especially sensitive to sound and could even hear the flow of Qi and blood within Lu Que's body.

The first five levels of the Blood Meridian Realm were also known as the Lesser Five Elements Realm. Even if one did not have the ability to open up the hidden acupoints in their bodies, reaching the balance between Yin and Yang, when the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and kidneys were all open to the blood, the vital energy and blood would transform from one to the other. The energy contained within the five elements would also be able to constantly nourish the body, not only clearing away some impurities within the body, but also curing some hidden injuries and hidden diseases. Moreover, as the blood essence that contained the power of the five elements continued to circulate within his body, his physique would also slowly grow.

"Lu Que, can you still remember what happened in the array?" The highest ranked music leaf seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"En ~" Lu Que pondered for a moment and recalled carefully. He then told her everything he could remember without reservation.

At this moment, Lu Que remembered that he had come with Zhuge Yan and Lin Qingyu to search for the Blood Drop Vine. The moment they stepped out of the cove, they had entered into the illusion formation. He still remembered that the formation was filled with white mist. As long as he took a deep breath, the illusions would fill up his mind. That was why he sat down cross-legged to breathe in order to resist the illusions' attack. As for what exactly happened, why did he break through to the second stage, and how he managed to open up the eight orifices of the kidney and the nine orifices of the liver, he could not remember.

Hearing Lu Que's answer, both Yun Shu and Mei Zhangjie were disappointed. It had been a long time since their cultivation had broken through, and they could all sense that the Grand Formation of the Heart of Illusion set up by Emperor Taizu was effective against experts like them. Previously, they had also thought of entering the formation and using the illusion formation to temper their spiritual sense.

It had to be known that when three elements joined together, that was essence, energy, and divine. That was blood essence, true essence, and divine sense. The source of blood essence was in the middle dantian's Ancestral Aperture, the true essence was in the lower dantian's Qi Sea, and the soul consciousness was in the upper dantian's Sea of Consciousness. It was just the most mysterious of the three bodies. They connected and combined into one, causing the vital energy, blood, true essence, and divine sense in the body to no longer be in their own power; instead, they would grow and complement each other.

On this basis, one could cast the sage body, the Dao embryo, to break through the limits of the human body and enter the legendary sage realm once the dao embryo was forged. This was also the reason why Yunshu and Mei Changju wanted to enter the Grand Illusory Heart Array. As long as they condensed their soul consciousness within the Grand Formation, under the nourishment of the soul consciousness, their vital energy, blood, and true essence would also increase.

Since their cultivation had reached such a stage, the prosperity of the secular world was no longer that important to them. Other than experiencing all sorts of worldly affairs to temper their hearts, the only thing that remained was a sense of camaraderie towards this country and the families behind it.

It was recorded in some ancient texts as well as in the Compendium of Martial Arts compiled by the Ancestors that the path of cultivation may have many realms and was also very detailed. However, in summary, it was divided into three stages, namely the Mortal Realm, the Saint Realm, and the Dao Realm. As for the Mortal Realm, it was the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm. Naturally, they wanted to break through their current realm and obtain greater strength and a longer lifespan.

"I see." Ye Song thought for a while and suddenly his eyes lit up. He had already reached the twelfth rank, and was only one step away from entering the sage realm. He didn't have much interest in the current situation inside the formation. Being pure in nature, she was actually interested in why Lu Que could not remember what had happened in the array.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Master Music organized her words and said, "The reason why Lu Que can't remember what happened in the array should have something to do with the operation of the array. Just now when the array's outer door was destroyed, when the inner door was empty, it was the only chance of survival of the Illusory Heart Array. That person who came out naturally had to eliminate all illusions, and the illusions were all fake, which was why he could not think of anything. "

"So that's how it is." Yunshu and Mui Changju thought about it and also felt that Master Le's words were correct.

"However, there is no need to worry. Although I am not able to recall it now, it is not a problem for him. After he enters the Spiritual Altar Realm, he should be able to slowly recall it." Ye Yin thought for a moment before continuing.

When everyone heard this, other than Lu Que, who was still frowning and pondering, they all nodded their heads. Although they did not know what had happened, both Zhuge Yan and Lin Qingyu's gazes were filled with joy and admiration as they looked at Lu Que.

Just now, the two of them had seen the spirit energy storm in the sky above the formation, and they boasted that if the one in the formation was them, they would definitely not be able to survive. Especially for Zhuge Yan, he had almost lost himself in the warmth of the illusion formation earlier. If not for the azure light that woke him up and gave him some time to calm his mind, he might have fallen into the illusion formation.

Lin Qingyu could not help but smile when he saw this scene, which seemed like it was happening right in front of his eyes. It was impossible to guard against the kind of illusion where one could evolve the greatest desire and fervent hope within one's heart.

Because they knew the power of the array, both of them admired Lu Que for breaking through the array once again. Furthermore, the power of the formation just now was much stronger than when they were inside it. They thought that they wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the formation just now.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Lu Que lowered his head and thought for a while. However, he could not recall what happened in the array earlier. Fortunately, he was calm and open-minded. Since he could not recall, he stopped thinking about it. Furthermore, that Mortal Realm Master from the Imperial City had said that as long as he entered the Spiritual Altar Realm, he should be able to recall them. Thus, he didn't hesitate any longer.

Most importantly, he could confirm that he had just seen the shadow of the Royal Spirit Beast Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai was not able to communicate with it in this small world. However, after he had left, he could ask Xiao Bai what had happened. He could hear joy and longing from Whitey's cry just now. With his relationship with it, Lu Que believed that if something really happened to him, Whitey wouldn't have let out that cry.

When he was fifteen years and four months old, his cultivation was already at the peak of the fifth level of the Blood Meridian Realm. This was the first time in the entire history of the Cyanwood Continent that he had sensed the Qi and blood in his body without the slightest feeling of falseness. Naturally, he had nothing to worry about.

"Lu Que, what are you doing?" Both Zhuge Yan and Lin Qingyu heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Que seemed to no longer care about losing the memories within the formation. However, they were shocked when they saw him begin to climb the Spirit Heart Tree.

"Have you forgotten what we're here for? Naturally, we're here to pick the Blood Drop Fruits to treat Brother Yun and the others." He knew that even though the three reverends were here, they would not help him to pick the Blood Drop Fruits needed to concoct the ingredients. It was already near dusk, and rather than wasting time, it would be better to pick the Blood Drop Fruits and return to the camp earlier.

As expected of a heavenly treasure, truly an extraordinary one." Lu Que raised his head and looked in the direction of the treetop, praising the tree in his heart. He was currently standing on top of a branch supporting the tree as he looked up. This Spirit Core tree was about a hundred meters tall. On its thick trunk, there was a blood-red colored vine that was as thick as an adult's arm.

Lu Que had read about the Spirit Core Tree and the Blood Drop Vine in some books that had written about the treasures of heaven and earth. He knew that these two treasures, one Yin and one Yang, would grow together and were both low-grade dark class treasures that would take three hundred and sixty years to grow. After it matures, the Spirit Core Tree and Blood Drop Vine would bear fruit every one hundred and twenty years. Each time, it would bear nine fruits. The Spirit Heart Fruit as yin could increase the wisdom of children, while the Blood Drop Fruit as yang could recover the lost blood and vital energy and blood.

When Lu Que reached the top of the tree, he discovered that there were only four Spirit Core Fruits left between the dense branches and leaves, and five Blood Drop Fruits.

"Every time there are nine fruits, four of them would be eaten by the four Silver-Spirit Panthers. No wonder they are so intelligent and can escape in the beast tide without being driven by beasts' instincts." As for the fifth Spirit Core Fruit, it should be the one Zhuge Yan had previously obtained. But there were four Silver-Spirit Panthers guarding this place, how did the Spirit Core Fruit end up in the forest? And where were the other four Blood Drop Fruits? Did the three guardian beasts take it away? " Lu Que thought to himself.

Lu Que didn't know that Yunshu had already picked four Blood Drop Fruits yesterday. If they couldn't find a way to heal Yunxu and the rest's wounds, Yunshu would hand them the fruits.

Just as Lu Que was about to start harvesting the Blood Drop Fruits, the four Silver-Spirit Panthers on the boulder suddenly appeared out of nowhere and let out a threatening growl at the same time. In their eyes, the Spirit Core Fruit and Blood Drop Fruit were theirs, so they naturally did not wish to be taken away. The reason why they only let out low roars and did not start attacking was because at this moment, the three strange guardian beasts and the woman who had made them feel great fear yesterday were standing under the tree.

"Little fellow, you can only eat one of these Spirit Core Fruits in your lifetime, and the Blood Drop Fruit is of no use to you. Just let him harvest it." Jiao Tu, who hadn't said anything until now, suddenly turned around and looked at the four Silver Spirit Leopards, whose eyes were filled with a murderous light. That childish voice seemed to have been branded into the minds of the four Silver Spirit Leopards.

Wuwuwu ~" The four Silversoul Leopards seemed to understand the meaning behind those words, and the ominous light in their eyes slowly faded away. Although they were unwilling, they laid their bodies back down on the giant rock, watching Lu Que's actions without blinking. They only hoped that this human would leave them some fruits.

Just now, they had truly felt the aura of the Royal Spirit Beast. They could be sure that this young man climbing the tree definitely had some sort of close relationship with that long-lost Divine Beast, so they were naturally willing to sell this young man a favor. One had to know that the Divine Beast was a divine beast that surpassed the Heaven Stage. With this favor, once they left this small world, they might be able to use it.

The situation under the tree had been observed by Lu Que. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the four Silverspirit Leopards dissuading him from picking the fruits on the tree under the beast that looked like a clam. Although he had broken through repeatedly in this period of time, he was not a match for these leopards on this tree. The branches here were dense, and his Dragon-Strangling Bramble spear could not be used here.

Furthermore, the three Imperial City reverends did not make any moves against the beast tide earlier. Therefore, Lu Que thought that even if the four Silversoul Leopards attacked him, the three Imperial City reverends would not help him as they had done before. Instead, it was more likely that they would stay to the side and watch the show.

Lu Que looked at the five remaining fruits on the Blood Drop Vine and thought for a moment. He picked three of them from the vine. According to his calculations, the prescription for the main ingredient, Blood Drop Fruit, would only need three days to recover the Qi and blood of Yun Xing Si, Su Duo, Meng Cang, and Li Lang.

In Lu Que's heart, this kind of heavenly resource was given to living beings by the heavens and the earth. Therefore, nothing could be done about it. He had to leave some for the animals in the mountains. Carefully putting the Blood Drop Fruit into a bamboo tube, Lu Que looked at the four Spirit Core Fruits on the Spirit Core Tree. He knew that with his current age, even using the Spirit Core Fruit to make a Spirit Core Pill would not be of much help to him.

Lu Que had been back in Dagong for over a year, and the majority of the people around him were people like Zhuge Yan, Yu Tian Xiang, and Gu Qingcheng. Therefore, he had a certain understanding of the Lu Clan, and recalled Zhuge Yan's words earlier; he also planned to make this fruit into a Spirit Heart Pill for the descendants of the Lu Clan.

"Alright, now that this matter is over, it's time for us to leave as well." At this moment, she had countless questions in her mind. However, she knew that whether Lu Que had forgotten the situation within the formation like the Music Leaf had told her, or if he didn't want to tell her, there was nothing she could do about it. After all, Lu Que was the Duke of Wei and the Eldest Princess's son. As long as the Yun Family didn't want to rebel, with her identity, there was no way they could force Lu Que.

"Wait a moment." Seeing that Lu Que had already started to descend the tree, Ye Yin said, "I still have some things I want to ask him."

"Alright then." Yunshu and Mei-jie exchanged a glance, not understanding the meaning behind the music. However, seeing the way it sounded, it did not seem like the two of them were going to avoid it. Naturally, they wanted to listen to it as well.

After Lu Que got off the Spirit Core Tree, he walked over to the three of them and gave them a respectful junior salute. They were naturally aware of Lu Que's intention to pay respects to them. Although they did not directly pick the fruits, they had been standing under the tree the entire time and had been able to intimidate the three beasts and the four Silversoul Leopards. They could be considered to have indirectly helped.

Lu Que stood up and handed the tube containing the three Blood Drop Fruits to Lin Qingyu. Although he knew the recipe, he was not as good as this good friend of the Godly Doctor in the details of brewing and brewing the pills.

Lu Que then walked up to the picture and bowed. "Thank you for the help just now."

Although he was the son of the Dragon King and his status was exceptional, the boy in front of him clearly had a deep relationship with the beast king. In their world of natural born strange beasts, there was nothing more important than bloodlines and rank, so even he did not dare to receive the full gift from Lu Que.

"Since you have what you need, then you can ask for it yourself. Besides, you do not have the greed that other humans have. Naturally, I am willing to help you." Seeing that Lu Que did not pluck all the fruits from the tree, it felt a little more appreciative towards the human teenager. In the eyes of these strange beasts, human beings were naturally greedy and could take anything from the world. However, Lu Que had just picked all the fruits he needed and didn't take all of them.

"Lu Que." At this point the music leaf spoke.

"What did Lord Reverend call this kid a child for?" Lu Que wanted to continue speaking with Jiao Tu. After all, in his more than ten years of life, he had become more familiar with these Spiritual Beasts and was more amiable towards them. He was surprised to hear her call him.

"Did you make that song you played a few days ago? "May I know your name?" In her heart, there was nothing more important than the pursuit of music. The song that Lu Que had played with the bamboo flute earlier, although it was still rather young, was filled with a natural sense of being in the right place. She really couldn't believe that this was the work of a fifteen-year-old boy.

"Reporting to the Lord Reverend." Lu Que cupped his hands together and said, "I was the one who created that song by chance, but I don't have a name."

What a clever young man." For him to be able to compose such a melody at such a young age, it was no wonder that he was able to stand unscathed in the Great Illusory Heart Array, which had once again increased in power, and was even able to achieve a breakthrough.

"The bamboo flute played that song was a bit more sonorous. The real instrument should be the pottery flute." Seeing that she was looking at Lu Que shyly, Ye Ci asked. With her musical attainments, she could naturally hear the disharmony from playing the bamboo flute.

"Yes."

"Then, after this matter is settled, I wonder if you can play it for me with a pottery flute?" She, who was born in the Heavenly Note Family, had already reached the pinnacle of her pursuit for music. Even if the sound of the old farmer knocking against the wooden boards was pleasing to the ears, she would still go over to have a look. So she really wanted to know what it was like for Lu Que, the original author, to play that song with a pottery flute.

"If Lord Reverend doesn't mind, I'm naturally willing to help." Lu Que looked at Ye Yin's pure eyes and nodded his head.

"Then we have to say it. You can't go back on your word when you agree to other people's promises." Ye Ci smiled happily. Her smile was like a little girl who had just received a new set of clothes.
