Chapter 2199 Crazy Improvement
After completing the handover with Yan Xiaowu, Lu Ye gave 10% of the harvest to Night Owl who provided the information this time, and found a place to refine his Taoist bones and improve his strength.

The war zones in Banlan are surging with constant fighting and there are many casualties on both sides. This is the melody of the entire Banlan that has never changed from ancient times to the present. It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will remain so in the future.

Unless one day, a decisive battle breaks out between the three major forces to decide life and death.

Under such a general trend, there are also some small ripples. Compared with the entire colorful situation, these ripples are nothing, but if they are in certain specific areas or organizations, these ripples will be very eye-catching.

Falcon has recently had a very powerful entry!
His code name is Owl, and not many people have seen him. Most of those who know him only know that he is a human, not very old, and holds a short hammer Taoist weapon.

The reason why he is so powerful is that since joining Falcon, he has only accepted red-level missions, and it seems that he does not take other levels of missions seriously at all.

You should know that few people would touch the red level tasks. After all, even someone as strong as Yan Hong would return empty-handed. No one is willing to waste time on such tasks.

But ever since Owl joined Falcon, those red missions that have always existed have been cancelled almost every once in a while.

On average he completes a red-level mission every month.

Over the years, the number of pending red-level tasks has decreased one after another after he appeared. More than half a year has passed so far, and he has completed as many as seven or eight red-level tasks!
Logically speaking, after his cleanup, those red-level tasks should have been almost completed.

but it is not the truth.

The number of red-level tasks not only did not decrease, but increased. Because no one had accepted these tasks before, the Night Owls were too lazy to report them.

It is different nowadays. Owls seem to be focusing on red-level missions. Every time they take a mission, they will gain something, and many night owls have benefited from it.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the night owls to report intelligence was naturally mobilized. Whenever a night owl discovered the trace of the enemy's fourteen-power strongman, he would report it as soon as possible. If luck was good and the owl accepted the task, the harvest of nearly a hundred bones would be basically guaranteed.

When he returned again, Lu Ye saw Yan Xiaowu waiting for him at the entrance of the War Merit Pavilion from afar.

They meet each other almost once a month, so Lu Ye and Yan Xiaowu have become familiar with each other. And because Yan Hong has entered a state of seclusion, he has been contacting Yan Xiaowu directly in recent times.

"Brother Ye!" Yan Xiaowu raised his hand to greet him. After they became familiar with each other, Yan Xiaowu's way of addressing him became much more affectionate.

Lu Ye nodded, handed the Taoist weapon he had obtained this time to him, and then took a storage ring containing Taoist bones from him.

Yan Xiaowu checked the Taoist weapon and confirmed that there was no problem. He looked at Lu Ye with some awe: "Brother Ye, my Yan family can no longer afford this high-grade Taoist weapon."

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment and then nodded to show his understanding.

Although the weapon refiners in Banlan can refine Taoist weapons, top-grade Taoist weapons are still hard to come by, so the Yan family was willing to purchase them before. But over the past six months, the Yan family has obtained eight top-grade Taoist weapons from Lu Ye.

Not every member of the Yan family needs a top-grade Taoist instrument to enter Taoism. Only those younger generations who are valued by the elders of the clan and have good talents are qualified to use them. The Yan family has its own reserves of Taoist instruments, and with those purchased from Lu Ye, there will be enough for them to use in the next few decades.

A top-grade Taoist weapon costs nine hundred Taoist bones, which is also a considerable expense for the Yan family.

Lu Ye had actually anticipated this.

"What are Uncle Yong's arrangements?" Lu Ye asked.

Yan Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Ye." His expression became serious, and he said, "Before coming here, Uncle Yong said that if Brother Ye is interested, he can help you contact several other major families. They will definitely be willing to purchase top-grade Taoist artifacts, but the price... will be one hundred Taoist bones less."

"It's my duty." Lu Ye nodded. This was the price he first received. It was Yan Hong who spoke up for the Yan family, so they added a hundred Taoist bones, which was considered a friendly price.

"Brother Ye, if there is no problem, please contact me later and I will hand it over to you. Of course, I am just a transit. The Dao bone is provided by others, and I will give it to them when I bring the Dao weapon back."

"That's it!" Lu Ye nodded and had no objection to this.

After the negotiation was settled, Yan Xiaowu left.

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yan Xiaowu's words should not be false, but the more likely possibility is that the friendship price of one hundred pieces of Taoist bones made some people in the Yan family uncomfortable, and Yan Hong went into seclusion again, so the Yan family pushed the price back to normal.

As for the claim that the Yan family couldn’t consume more high-quality Taoist weapons... Lu Ye wouldn’t believe it. Even if they couldn’t consume them, they could just sell them to other families.

Lu Ye could understand this. It was normal for aristocratic families to have different voices within the clan, as the family was large and powerful.

He raised his hand and the Night Owl, who had been waiting for a long time, came up quickly.

After leaving the Hall of War Merits, he looked for a place to refine his Dao bones and improve his strength as usual.

Half a day later, Lu Ye examined himself.

The eighty-one Taoist bones in the body sparkled brightly. He clenched his fists lightly, and with a thought, he easily controlled the power of ninety Taos!
To be honest, Lu Ye himself didn't know how strong he was now, because he had been fighting with Ru Dao and had no chance to fight with Rong Dao.

Compared to half a year ago, the power of Taoism that can be controlled has increased by a full double, but the increase in strength is more than just a simple double.

During these days, taking into account the tasks he completed in Falcon, the monthly salary of the Yan family's household generals, and the Dao bones agreed upon with the Military Affairs Office, minus his own consumption, he can basically gain about 20,000 Dao forces every month.

To him, those missions were not difficult to complete. A group of guys from the Fourteen Paths were nothing in front of him. Most of his time was spent on traveling and searching for traces of the mission targets.

Some guys are very vigilant. Lu Ye has completed eight tasks so far, and the longest one took him one and a half months.

Basically all of his Dao power was invested in the polishing of his Dao bones, and as his strength continued to increase, the Dao power required to polish his Dao bones was also gradually increasing.

Nowadays, it takes four to five thousand Dao powers to polish the Dao bone once with ninety Dao powers. Even if he has a lot of gains every month, he can only improve a few Dao powers in the end.

During the past six months, he encountered the blessing of Xingyuan again, but unfortunately it only improved his physical fitness a little. The magical effect of hitting the target with one shot did not appear at all, which disappointed Lu Ye.

He took out the Falcon Order, investigated it, accepted a mission, and leaped up.

Two months passed in a flash. In a certain war zone, a battle subsided and Lu Ye was standing alone, surrounded by the corpses of several cultivators from the Insect and Blood clans.

He frowned slightly and collected the spoils.

It has been two months and his task has not been completed yet, which has broken the previous record.

The main reason was that he couldn't find his mission target, which resulted in his strength improving very little in the past two months, only three levels.

After checking the Falcon Order again, all the red-level mission information has not been updated for a long time.

The fourteen powerful men from the Insect-Blood Clans who possessed top-grade Taoist weapons all lay dormant, as if they had made an agreement.

Lu Ye felt a headache...

He had actually anticipated this situation.

In just over half a year, eight of the fourteen Taoists who possessed top-grade Taoist weapons died. Even if the two insect-blood tribes were slow-witted, they could realize that this was a targeted hunt. The Falcon was famous, so the enemy would definitely make some associations.

In this way, as long as the top leaders of the two insect-blood tribes are not stupid, they will make some targeted deployments.

The reason why those fourteen powerful men were lying dormant was probably because of this reason.

But this is a bit troublesome for Lu Ye. His biggest channel to obtain Taoist power now is the Falcon mission. The enemies are all dormant, and he has nowhere to find them.

Although there are gains from killing enemies you encounter in the war zone, the efficiency cannot be compared with selling high-quality Taoist weapons.

Ten days later, Lu Ye still hadn't found any trace of the target of the mission. In desperation, he could only return to the War Merit Pavilion and give up the mission.

This was the first time he failed to complete a mission since joining the Falcons.

He began to try to accept tasks below the red level, but this thing requires quick eyes and quick hands. Lu Ye tried for most of the day but failed to succeed.

Very indignant.

Just as he kept trying, the Alliance Guard suddenly moved.

Lu Ye immediately picked it up and checked.

Although he has been in Banlan for some time, there are actually not many people who can contact him. At most, there are no more than ten people, and they are all acquaintances.

He originally thought that it was Yan Xiaowu who contacted him. After all, it was almost time for the Yan family to pay the monthly salaries to the family soldiers.

Unexpectedly, after seeing clearly who the person who contacted him was, Lu Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

He never expected that this person would contact him.

"Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" Lu Ye asked.

The person who contacted me was actually Ziying!
This is also the only powerful Rong Dao master with whom he has a contact mark.

Ziying said succinctly: "I am short of soldiers and major generals. Are you interested in helping me?"

Lu Ye did not hesitate: "Where?"

It can’t be Blue Water. After the last war, there won’t be any major wars in Blue Water for a few years.

In this case, Ziying should have been transferred away from Lanshui. As for which war zone he went to, Lu Ye had no way of guessing.

This is also normal. A person like Ziying would be a waste of talent in today's Blue Water. After the last Blue Water attack on the star, the War Alliance must have made arrangements for her.

However, in the last battle, Ziying broke into the insect nest alone and killed the insect queen with great force. He was also injured and has been recovering from his injuries recently. It is estimated that his injuries have recovered now.

The reason why he contacted him was simply because of the outstanding performance of the Heyi Battalion in the last star attack. If it was someone else who entered the Tao, even if he had a top-grade Taoist weapon that could exert the power of the fourteen Taos, Ziying would not have contacted him alone.
