I can gather experience beads

Ning Xin and the other six were naturally very grateful to Cao Rui.

Although Cao Rui did not say it directly, they also knew that the special treatment should not be spread outside.

Otherwise, gaps will arise between the outer members of Deep Blue.

"Go, and practice well." Cao Rui waved his hand.

Although these inspirations are much higher than the free inspirations they usually plunder.

But compared with the secret required to advance from the peak of the Refining Void Stage to the Fusion Stage, it is nothing.

The body of a cultivator in the fusion stage needs to bear the power of rules.

Therefore, in order for a Void Refining cultivator to advance to the Fusion stage, he needs a massive amount of energy to transform his body and soul.

The advancement from refining emptiness to integrating the body is also the longest step for a cultivator in the spiritual world to become a top cultivator.

Ning Xin and six others left.

Cao Rui began his own retreat and practice.

This time, Cao Rui was ready to advance to the peak of the Refining Void in one go.

The secrets in the blue ring are more than enough for Cao Rui to cultivate to the peak of the Refined Void Realm.

After being promoted to the peak of Refining Void.

There will be a significant increase in spiritual awareness and magical power.

The power of supernatural powers will naturally increase.

It would not be impossible for the combat power to exceed three thousand by then.

Then he can really be ranked first with Sun Daoyi...

Cao Rui was immersed in cultivation.

Refining the secrets of heaven every day.

Only this time it didn't last long.

An uninvited guest came to the Deep Blue Spirit Ship.

It was the Red Leaf Sword Master, a member of the Blue Robe Pirates.

"Why is this guy here again?" Cao Rui frowned.

"Isn't there still some time before the agreed one-year deadline?" He thought to himself, his spiritual sense locking onto the figure who had already arrived outside the spirit ship - the Red Leaf Sword Master.

Cao Rui knew without a doubt the purpose of Red Leaf Sword Master's visit. It must be related to the tribute from the Blue Robe Star Pirates.

Although Cao Rui could pay the remuneration of the peripheral members of the Deep Blue Organization in advance.

But faced with the tribute of up to 100,000 Tianji from the Blue Robe Star Pirates, Cao Rui tried to delay it as much as possible.

After all, no one knows whether these greedy guys will come up with other tricks and demands to trouble people after receiving the money.

Before the deadline arrives, it is safest to keep the money in your own hands!

Otherwise, if you hand it over in advance and someone is looking for trouble, you will have no way to complain.

Inside the meeting room of the Deep Blue Spirit Ship.

Cao Rui sat steadily at the top position, staring ahead with sharp eyes.

After a while, a figure came in like a ghost, led by two peripheral members. He was wearing a blue robe dancing in the wind, with a shining long sword hanging from his waist. He was the Red Leaf Sword Master, a member of the Blue Robe Star Pirates.

After the Red Leaf Sword Master stepped into the conference room, he first glanced at Cao Rui who was sitting at the top, and then slowly walked forward.

When he stood still, Cao Rui was the first to break the silence and asked, "Red Leaf Sword Master, why did you come to my Deep Blue Spirit Ship today?"

Although Cao Rui appeared polite on the surface, the coldness in his words was difficult to conceal.

The Red Leaf Sword Master was no fool, so he could easily tell from Cao Rui's tone that the other party was not welcome to him.

But he didn't care about these. He just smiled slightly and then began to look around the entire conference room.

Upon seeing this, Cao Rui immediately understood what he meant, so he waved his hand gently, signaling all other members of the conference room except the two of them to leave first.

After everyone left, the door of the conference room slowly closed.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Rui raised his hand and waved again, instantly setting up a powerful magical barrier that enveloped the entire conference hall.

After doing all this, Cao Rui said softly: "In this way, it will be quiet here."

At this time, Red Leaf Sword Master saw that the time had come, so he stopped hiding and asked directly, "Old Ancestor Cloak, since you have already established yourself in Tianwai Tian, ​​do you have any long-term plans?"

Long-term plan? Cao Rui's heart moved. He looked at the Red Leaf Sword Master with a twinkling gaze, secretly guessing the other party's intentions.

After some thought, he vaguely guessed what the Red Leaf Sword Master was up to.

Cao Rui said softly, "Of course, it is to accumulate enough heavenly secrets until you successfully advance to the fusion stage."

His tone was as calm as water, but it contained a firmness and confidence.

Hearing this, Hongye nodded slightly, indicating understanding, and then asked: "So what will you do after you advance to the Fusion Stage? Will you choose to return to the Heaven Realm to recuperate, or will you continue to stay in this vast starry sky and continue to explore on your own?"

Cao Rui replied calmly: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will naturally choose to stay in this vast starry sky. Plunder the innate purple energy to strengthen my own cultivation. Only by constantly making progress and eventually achieving the Mahayana realm or even ascending to the immortal world, can I reach the end of the road of cultivation!"

The Red Leaf Sword Master showed an expression of approval. At this moment, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I wonder what you, Old Ancestor Cloak, think of the Blue Robe Pirates?"

Cao Rui's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, thinking about what this question was asking!

How can something that steals your secrets be good?

However, it was impossible for him to bluntly belittle Blue Robe in front of Red Leaf Sword Master.

So, he straightened his face and said, "The Blue Robe Pirates are naturally powerful and awe-inspiring. I have to admire them deeply!"

There was no other way. The situation was pressing and Cao Rui could only flatter against his will.

The Red Leaf Sword Master didn't care much about Cao Rui's evaluation. He asked this question just to start a conversation. He said slowly, "In fact, the Blue Robe Pirates Group you saw at the Red Cloud Vortex is just the tip of the iceberg of the overall force."

After saying this, she looked at Cao Rui meaningfully, as if she wanted to capture some information from the changes in his expression.

"Oh?" Cao Rui showed surprise on his face. It was indeed the first time he heard such news.

At this time, the Red Leaf Sword Master opened his mouth slightly and continued to speak slowly.

It turned out that this group of blue robed star pirates, in the vast outer space, was divided into three major divisions according to their strength: the Refining Division, the Fusion Division, and the Mahayana Division.

Let's talk about the Lianxu Department, there are dozens of different teams under it!

And the one led by Ji Zhan was just an ordinary one among them.

Judging from the numbers alone, these dozens of teams seem to be quite large.

However, when we turn our eyes to the entire starry sky, we will find that these teams are scattered in every corner like stars, far apart from each other, and their influence becomes negligible.

It is worth mentioning that if a team in the Lianxu Department can cultivate a strong person who is capable of advancing to the Fusion Stage, then the team can apply to be allowed to enter the higher-level Fusion Department.

Once you successfully join the fusion department, you will be able to enjoy more systematic ways and resources to plunder the innate purple energy.

You know, for those ordinary fusion monks, it is not easy to obtain the innate purple energy, but through this method, it can undoubtedly save a lot of unnecessary trouble and trouble.

To sum up, the overall strength of the Blue Robe Pirates is naturally beyond doubt!

Finally, the Red Leaf Sword Master smiled and slowly said, "What a coincidence! Our Blue Robe Group is currently recruiting new members."

His eyes fell on the Cloak Ancestor, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "In my opinion, Cloak Ancestor, your strength is really extraordinary."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, as if waiting for the other party's response.

Then, the Red Leaf Sword Master continued to persuade enthusiastically: "If you are interested, you can join our Blue Robe Star Pirates Group right now. In this way, from now on, there will be a powerful force in the outer space to serve as your solid backing."

"Seizing the heavenly secrets, seizing the innate purple energy, and even the primordial purple energy, will all be guided by a clear path."

These words do sound quite attractive, as if with just a nod, one can have endless benefits and guarantees.

However, Cao Rui did not make a decision immediately.

He frowned slightly and began to think seriously.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he had the strong support of Frost Sky Realm behind him.

Not to mention the large number of Mahayana cultivators in the Frost Sky Realm, just looking at its foundation and influence, it is not a weak force in the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Furthermore, if one really chooses to become a star pirate, it would mean a complete break with the Frost Sky Realm.

After all, the myriad realms of the outer world have always hated people like star pirates.

Once you embark on this path, it will be difficult to turn back, let alone expect to return to the Frost Sky Realm to practice in seclusion.

Moreover, space pirates often live a wandering and homeless life.

In contrast, relying on the power of Tianjing, Cao Rui can return to Tianjing at any time and anywhere, and quietly retreat for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without having to worry about his own safety.

After careful consideration, Cao Rui finally raised his head with an apologetic smile on his face. He shook his head slightly at the Red Leaf Sword Master and politely declined his kind invitation.

"Let me think about this matter carefully." Cao Rui said slowly.

"Thank you, Lanpao, for your appreciation and respect for me." Cao Rui immediately added.

The Red Leaf Sword Master standing opposite nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.

After all, it is not so easy to recruit a fledgling heavenly realm cultivator like Cao Rui into the star pirate group.

However, Red Leaf Sword Master was not anxious because he knew the reason very well.

According to common sense, the old man in the cloak had just arrived in this mysterious and vast outer space not long ago.

Although he has now successfully occupied the western corner and has a relatively stable Sea of ​​Heavenly Secrets to plunder, the amount of Heavenly Secrets required to advance from his current realm to the Fusion Stage is enormous.

Even if everything goes well, it will be difficult to achieve the goal without 100 or 200 years of accumulation.

Therefore, the Red Leaf Sword Master had enough time to slowly persuade Cao Rui to join his Blue Robe Star Pirates Group.

What's more, if something unexpected and interesting happens during this period, it might make this matter easier...

It has to be said that the calculations of Red Leaf Sword Master and most people were not wrong.

However, what they never expected was that Cao Rui actually possessed an extremely rare and precious Hongmeng treasure!

It is precisely because of the magical power of this treasure that Cao Rui's efficiency in absorbing heavenly energy far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators.

After some careful calculations, Cao Rui thought to himself: If the current astonishing pace of progress continues, it will only take a few decades at most for him to break through the bottleneck as he wished and successfully advance to the fusion stage.

"Ancestor Cloak, you need to think about this matter carefully!" The Red Leaf Sword Master looked at the person in front of him with a burning gaze, and said slowly: "Although you are now backed by the power of the Heaven Realm, it seems safe and secure, but this will greatly reduce the speed of your strength improvement! Look at those Heaven Realm cultivators, most of them are curled up in this small world, like a frog at the bottom of a well, with extremely narrow vision."

"At this moment, I can't tell anything from plundering the Heaven's Secret. In the future, when I advance to the fusion state and plunder the more scarce innate purple energy, I will be able to tell a thing or two."

At this point, he paused for a moment, then pointed to the boundless starry sky and said passionately: "We, the Blue Robe Star Pirates, are completely different! We roam freely throughout the entire outer space. We don't have to worry about anything. Wherever there is innate purple energy, we will be there."

"With your style of doing things, being an ordinary celestial realm cultivator would be too frustrating and a waste of your talent. In my opinion, only by joining our Star Pirates Group can you truly shine!"

"The Star Pirates will be your haven!"

"That's all I have to say. I'll leave now."

After saying this, Red Leaf Sword Master slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

After all, this was only his first attempt at persuasion, so he shouldn't say too much, so as not to annoy Cao Rui.

The corners of Cao Rui's mouth twitched slightly a few times, and he thought to himself: How come this group of star pirates has become my haven?

But he still agreed: "Okay, I will consider this matter carefully."

Cao Rui watched the Red Leaf Sword Master leave from the Deep Blue Spirit Ship.

The Red Leaf Sword Master suddenly stopped and said, "Chief Ji Zhan ordered me to stay in the West Corner."

"There is no stronghold in the West Corner, and only your Deep Blue Spirit Ship can accommodate people."

"Do you mind if I set up a nest on the Deep Blue Spirit Ship?"

Is this to monitor me or Deep Blue? I guess it's both!

Although Cao Rui was unwilling in his heart, he had to submit to the tyranny of the Blue Robe Pirates.

"It's my honor. I'll arrange a training room for you."

"No need, I'll just set up a tent on the deck!"

Thus, an uninvited guest appeared on the Deep Blue Spirit Ship.

The Red Leaf Sword Master of the Blue Robe Star Pirates is stationed on the Deep Blue Spirit Ship.

After the initial discomfort, under Cao Rui's instructions, the members of the Deep Blue Organization got used to the existence of the Red Leaf Sword Master.

The Red Leaf Sword Master was quite sensible. He only occupied a corner of the deck and occasionally went out to explore.

As for the territory of the Deep Blue members in the training room, they would never set foot in it.
