3 Can You Spare My Life?

Honestly speaking, he temporarily didn't have to upgrade his physical state.

His cultivation speed wasn't slow and the number of all-purpose points it needed wasn't a lot either.

Zhou Ye's gaze landed on the Little Green Asthenia Sutra and the lucky draws.

After thinking for some time, Zhou Ye felt that he should upgrade the Little Green Asthenia Sutra.

Ever since he was a child, he had never been lucky even in the 'one more bottle' lucky draw. As such, he had grown up not believing in his luck.

Thus, he felt that upgrading the Little Green Asthenia Sutra was the most sensible option.

After using ten all-purpose points, there were changes to his sutra attribute.

Sutra: Little Green Asthenia Sutra·Small Achievement

The instant his sutra got upgraded, Zhou Ye fell into a trance.

In that split second, his understanding of the Little Green Asthenia Sutra increased, immediately entering the small achievement state.

The power of a cheat was so frightening.

Zhou Ye started cultivating again. He wanted to test what effect this small achievement state of the Little Green Asthenia Sutra had.

On the leaves, his speed of congregating sunlight doubled. Within two minutes, he managed to get 0.1 all-purpose points.

Zhou Ye felt satisfied after noticing his increased cultivation speed.

Maybe he didn't have to cultivate so many years to reach the manifestation state after all.

Very soon, the night ended.

The man with a big face and the white deer didn't come back. Zhou Ye didn't know where they had gone to.

After a night of cultivation, he accumulated quite a lot of all-purpose points.

It was enough to level up his physical state twice.

Four all-purpose points were used.

Physical State: Tempered Body·Level Four.

Five all-purpose points were used.

Physical State: Tempered Body·Level Five.

A strong surge of energy flowed in his body once again, forcefully changing Zhou Ye's body structure.

His body underwent a powerful transformation.

At this moment, his gate of life seemed to be opened and he entered another realm.

He wasn't an ordinary plant anymore.

Zhou Ye still maintained the habits of a human. After long hours of cultivation, he wanted to stretch his back unconsciously.

When he moved, something bad almost happened.

As he stretched, the soil around his roots got pushed away, revealing his roots that were stained with mud.

"This is bad!"

Zhou Ye immediately bent down and used his two leaves to sweep the soil back on top of his roots, covering his roots.

He was a little frightened.

He almost uprooted himself.

How scary. He almost died.

In his body, that orb of energy was keeping his body warm. But this orb wasn't enough to give Zhou Ye a sense of security.

It was just the fifth level of the Tempered Body.

Zhou Ye sighed and continued cultivating.

…

In the evening, the white deer and the man with a big face came back.

The man with a big face looked at Zhou Ye who was still cultivating and a smile appeared on his face.

He patted the white deer's head and walked towards his small yard.

The white deer jumped and came close to Zhou Ye.

Clouds were circling its hooves so it didn't make any noises. It didn't alert Zhou Ye.

The distance between them shortened and the white deer arrived beside Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye was engrossed in cultivation so he didn't think much of this bad feeling he had in his heart even though he felt something was amiss.

The white deer softly sniffed Zhou Ye. There was hesitation in its eyes. It thought for a moment and still opened its mouth.

Zhou Ye's heart started pounding violently. He opened his eyes and saw a huge mouth.

"Ah!"

Zhou Ye got such a huge fright that his soul almost flew out.

He lifted his legs and ran.

The white deer was astounded when it saw Zhou Ye running away.

In its eyes, this good-looking wild plant actually uprooted itself and was running away quickly.

Was it so scary?

The white deer asked itself in confusion.

The man with a big face hadn't reached his yard yet. When he saw this scene with his turned head, he lifted his eyebrows and smiled.

He looked at Zhou Ye carefully and determined that he wasn't in danger. Then, he ignored Zhou Ye and walked straight into the yard.

Zhou Ye ran far away.

Suddenly, he lowered his head and saw his roots.

"Oh no, I'm dead."

He laid on the ground with despair in his eyes.

With his limited understanding, he knew that plants die after they leave the soil.

The white dear bounced and came over. When it looked down on Zhou Ye, there was surprise in its eyes.

Zhou Ye looked at it without moving.

He didn't care if he died now.

The white deer opened its mouth and bit one of Zhou Ye's leaves. Then, it pulled Zhou Ye back up to his original position.

Its actions weren't gentle at all. Zhou Ye's arm hurt from the pull.

The white deer placed Zhou Ye on the ground and lifted its front legs. It stepped on Zhou Ye's legs.

"Do you have to be so ruthless?!!"

"Boom!"

"Pain!"

When the white deer stepped with its hooves, Zhou Ye's roots got buried into the ground.

The white deer nodded its head in satisfaction when it saw its masterpiece.

Then, it happily jumped away.

A breeze was felt. Zhou Ye swayed his body. He was still in a daze.

After some time, he felt a little depressed.

"I have such a hard life."

The white deer went back to the yard and came to a corner filled with flowers and plants.

It casually picked a snowy white flower that had a white glow around it and bit it without any hesitation. Then, it started chewing.

There was a small pavilion in the yard. There were stone chairs and a stone table in the pavilion.

The man with a big face sat on the stone chair and sipped on some tea. When he saw the white deer eating the flower, the hand he used to hold the teacup trembled slightly.

…

It was nighttime again.

Zhou Ye's condition was not bad. He was recuperating well.

After what happened today, he realized that he was able to survive for a short period of time after leaving the soil.

Maybe after he reached the manifestation state, he could leave the soil and survive without a problem.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Ye started cultivating seriously.

As he cultivated, his all-purpose points increased continuously.

In the small yard, the man with a big face hadn't slept yet. He silently looked at Zhou Ye who was bathing under the moonlight and nodded silently.

This plant was very hardworking.

He was worth grooming.

The next day, in the early morning.

Based on Zhou Ye's experience, he was able to level up his physical state with six all-purpose points.

But the situation now didn't seem right.

He had eight all-purpose points but he was unable to level up.

He didn't know what was happening.

"Could it be that level six of the Tempered Body is much stronger than level five so it needs more all-purpose points?" This was Zhou Ye's guess.

No one gave him the answer.

He was unable to open his mouth and converse with the man with a big face so he could only guess.

He closed his eyes and continued cultivating.

Today, the man with the big face was free.

He sat in the pavilion in his yard with a jade chessboard laid out on the table in front of him. The chess pieces were made from both black jade and white jade. It was expensive.

He sipped some tea and started playing chess. It was a comfortable morning.

The white deer wasn't interested in the man's single-man chess game. Instead, it jumped and ran to a corner of the yard.

The man with a big face looked helpless when he noticed the white deer's action.

"Don't touch those important ones. Others are asking for them."

The white deer grunted to show that it knew what it was doing.

Then, it ate a plant that had a blue glow around it.

The man's lips started twitching.

Fortunately, it was alright. He was used to it.

…

He had 10 all-purpose points now.

Bloodline: Wild Plant

Cultivation State: None

Physical State: Tempered Body·Level Five (+)

Sutra: Little Green Asthenia Sutra·Small Achievement

Skill: None

All-purpose Points: 10

Lucky Draws: None (+)

Zhou Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he could level up his physical state.

He ignored the lucky draw and directly upgraded his physical state.

Ten all-purpose points were used. His physical state was now at level six of the Tempered Body.

The second he leveled up, energy exploded in his body, strengthening his body once again.

This time, there were no changes to Zhou Ye's body size. Instead, he looked thicker and in turn, more durable.

However, this was still not enough.

He could still die easily.

The man with a big face, who was playing chess with himself, noticed Zhou Ye's change.

"The cultivation speed isn't fast but every time he breaks through, he is at his peak. That is quite interesting." The man with a big face smiled gently. He thought for a moment and shook his head. Then, he continued playing chess.

The white deer noticed Zhou Ye's change too.

It grunted twice to express its excitement.

Then, it suddenly jumped and leaped towards Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye heard the bouncing sound and turned his head. When he was what was coming his way, his expression changed immediately.

"Brother, can you spare my life?"
