《I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World》


 Chapter 1: Grandpa In Ring Where?

    Chapter 1: Grandpa In Ring Where?


    " Un¡­ Where am I?"


    With eyes fluttering open, he could see his surroundings.


    The bronzemps lit the room and the bed, tables, and furniture were exquisite. Everything in this room gave off a serene, rich but ancient vibe.


    '' This¡­ This isn''t my room! Where am I?"


    Stretching his body, he looked at himself.


    '' What''s with this clothing? And this body¡­ What the hell!''


    He saw he was wearing a loose red robe, with his hair tied. His physique was moderately lean. However, the most miraculous thing is that he can walk.


    '' Bloody hell! This isn''t my body! Neither this is my room. Could it be¡­ I transmigrated?''


    Closing his mind, he tried to calm himself. Suddenly, a surge of memories appeared in his brain as he suddenly sat back on the chair.


    Long Ming leaned on the chair as he adjusted his thoughts.


    He was a young man from modern Earth who transmigrated here. Long Ming was born into a wealthy family. However, his body was inborn crippled.


    His health was fragile due to a rare sickness. That''s why Long Ming used to hole up in his room, ying games or using hisputer. He did every indoor activity, from drawing to ying music.


    He learned that doctors told his parents that he won''t live past the age of 20. Long Ming was already ready to face his death when his 19th birthday passed.


    '' However, how did I trigger my transmigration? I didn''t get zapped by lightning or got hit by a truck kun. I didn''t fall from a building, didn''t have any weird treasures in possession¡­''


    Long Ming sighed as he got up and started to walk. It''s been a while since he felt his body this good. Without gasping for breath, sudden chills, and weakness.


    " So, This is what a normal body feels like." Long Ming muttered as he looked outside the window.


    '' Mom, Dad¡­ I know you will miss me. However, you will be happy to see that your son will live on. I will live on, live past 20¡­ Live like an ordinary person.''


    Long Ming sighed as he sat back on the chair.


    As he was pondering, the door suddenly opened and a person walked inside.


    " Oh? You are awake?"


    " Un?"


    Long Ming jumped on his feet as he was startled. Judging from the looks, she looked like a maid.


    " Very good, Stay right there. Young Lady will decide your fate." The maid turned around as she closed the door and left.


    Long Ming was speechless.


    Decide his fate? What does that mean?"


    However, he didn''t have to wait for long. The door opened as a girl entered the room.


    However, the moment Long Ming saw the girl, he couldn''t help but get stunned.


    Such a slender body with ck lush hair falling to her waist. Her chest was bountiful and her curves were well-proportional. The blue colored dress tightly clung to her body, outlining her curves in a sexy way.


    With her limpid almond-like eyes and her red lips like cherry, she looked more stunning than any models Long Ming ever saw.


    " I¡­"


    Long Ming stood stunned as he gazed at her from head to toe.


    Thedy''s gaze was calm as she looked at Long Ming. However, Long Ming could see a trace of disdain and mockery in her eyes.


    " Do you know why are you here?"


    Her voicepletely matched her beauty. However, currently, her tone was cold.


    Long Ming returned to his senses. " I don''t know¡­ I don''t even know what ce is this. Beautiful sister, can you tell me where am I?"


    The girl chuckled coldly when she heard that.


    " Oh? I don''t think a dying man would need to know that much."


    Long Ming became vignt as he took a step back. " Beautiful sister, Do not scare me. It is not a good asion for jokes like that."


    " Joking?" The girl snorted. " After what you have done, you think I will let you live?"


    Long Ming was scared when he saw the girl pulling out a longsword from the sheath.


    " Wait! WAIT!"


    Long Ming shouted. " What exactly I did do? I just woke up and found myself here!"


    The girl snorted. " When I was bathing, you suddenly appeared in theke. You have seen me naked!"


    " I did WHAT!"


    Long Ming gritted his teeth when he heard that.


    It would be another matter if he really saw her naked. However, he couldn''t even remember when he appeared in the so calledke when the girl was bathing.


    " This is injustice! I didn''t see anything!" Long Ming shouted. The girl looked at Long Ming as she snorted.


    " Just because you are saying you are not guilty, you think you are innocent?"


    Long Ming retorted. " Going by that logic, just because you said I saw you naked while bathing, I am the culprit? Where is the evidence?"


    The girl looked at Long Ming as his sword moved. Long Ming''s eyes widened when he couldn''t even see when the sword already reached his neck.


    " Were you saying something?" The girl asked.


    Long Ming cleared his throat as he started to speak.


    " Beautiful Sister, one should always follow the path of virtue and mercy. I vow before heaven and earth that I didn''t see you naked at all."


    " So, hereby¡­"


    His tone became determined.


    I beg for mercy. Please, don''t kill me! I am so young and I have many ambitions. I can''t die yet!"


    Long Ming made a pitiful expression as he fell to his knees.


    The girl turned speechless when she saw the scene. Somehow, her rage extinguished as she looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming was giving the expression of a puppy who is soaked in rain. However, he was scoffing in his heart.


    Hell, Even Sun Tzu said that if you don''t have a n, escape at any cost.


    The girl snorted as she looked at Long Ming, as her lips curled up.


    " Virtue and mercy? Do you know what kind of ce you are at?"


    Long Ming shook his head. " I don''t know."


    The girl let out a chortle when she heard that.


    " I will give you two options. First, get killed. Second, get castrated and be my servant."


    Long Ming was stunned when he heard the girl.


    " How about I choose the third option? How about I do not castrate and be your servant?"


    " Oh? And why should I do that?" The girl looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming coughed lightly as he stood up. Flicking his hair, he spoke in a confident tone.


    " Be it poem or painting, the game of chess or calligraphy, This young master is proficient in all four arts. I can entertain Young Miss more than anyone."


    " Is that so?"


    The girl looked at Long Ming with doubtful eyes.


    Long Ming sneered inwardly.


    '' Hmph! I am a person from the modern world. Aren''t these types of protagonists dominate with their giarized poems and couplets?


    '' Heh, this young master spent years on the inte and book. How can I not master the art of giarism¡­ I mean, the art of literature?''


    " Fine, If you are really that good, I will test you personally. But not now¡­"


    The girl sheathed her sword as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming sighed in relief when he saw the girl wasn''t going to kill him¡­for now.


    " Actually, we haven''t introduced ourselves." Long Ming spoke in a mild voice.


    "Mu Qinglian. My name is Mu Qinglian."


    Mu Qinglian spoke as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming nodded as he pondered.


    " Long Ming, You can call me Long Ming."


    Mu Qinglian raised her brows when she saw Long Ming didn''t get any reaction after hearing her family name.


    " Long Ming? What an unusual name." Aster spoke as she pursued her lips.


    " So, You are saying you are worthy enough to be alive what you have done, hmm?" Mu Qinglian turned around gracefully, " Very well, We shall see."


    Mu Qinglian paused as she looked at Long Ming. " The Spider Lily tattoo on your arm, Where did you get it?"


    " Which tattoo you are talking about?"


    Long Ming was confused as he looked at his arm His expression changed when he saw his tattoo.


    It was like two vines of ck and white intertwining on his arm, turning into a bright spider lily.


    " This¡­ I also don''t know." Long Ming was confused as he looked at the tattoo.


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming for a moment before she turned away.


    '' I wonder if that stinky old man was telling the truth. Long Ming¡­is he¡­''


    Mu Qinglian blushed a bit as she hurriedly shook her head. After that, she turned around and left.


    Long Ming sat on the bed as he sighed. Even now, he couldn''t understand the actual fuck is happening.


    " At least give me some sort of predecessor''s memories." Long Ming sighed. After that, he looked at the door and went out.


    His expression froze when he looked at his surroundings.


    It was already night. The luxurious garden was shining under the pale moonlight. However, What made Long Ming amazed was the floating mountains in the distance, with some asional people flying across.


    Long Ming turned around and returned to his room. His forehead was covered with sweat as he screamed in his heart.


    " Immortal world! I am in a fucking Immortal World!"


    '' This world is dangerous.''


    '' WAIT! I must have a golden finger, right?"


    Long Ming get up and tried to find something like an ancient ring or cup or pendant.


    " Old grandpa! I am the one in a thousand year genius! Please give me your inheritance! I am willing to be your disciple!"


    Long Ming spoke in a coy tone. However, there was no response. It looks like grandpa wasn''t happy with Long Ming.


    " No grandpa?"


    Long Ming cursed out as his first n got wasted.


    After that, he started to search for any sort of mysterious broken sword or a cauldron, or an ordinary-looking stick that is a powerful treasure.


    Unfortunately, there was none.


    '' Whew, I guess I only have one remaining choice.''


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked forward and shouted.


    " System!"


    [ DING!]


    A panel appeared before Long Ming, making him jump in excitement,


    " Yes! Finally, a decent thing!"


    However, his expression turned stiff when he saw the panel before him.

 Chapter 2: The Infinite Roulette! The First System!

    Chapter 2: The Infinite Roulette! The First System!


    Long Ming''s face turned strange when he saw the screen in front of him.


    [ Due to some technical issues, assigning the system has been dyed. Apologise for such inconvenience]


    [Meanwhile, Host can check his status window]


    Host: Long Ming


    Power: Mortal (Weakest Chicken in the Realms)


    Skills: Enhanced Six Senses, Trick Shot, Lightning Shadow Sword Art (Sealed). Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Hand (Sealed), Shadow Dragon Breathing Method


    Trait: Chaotic Murder Heart


    History: <Click to expand>


    Long Ming jumped when he saw the rows of skills he possessed.


    '' Damn it, when did I possess so many skills. However, two of them are sealed. And judging from looks, those two are most powerful among them.''


    Long Ming expanded the [History] as a new row of information appeared.


    Current Age; 19


    Death: 32 (Previous lifetime)


    Additional information: Carrying the fate of Deste Heaven Murder Star


    Long Ming''s eyes shrunk fiercely when he saw the [History].


    '' What the fuck! Did I die at age of 32 previously? How is that possible? Myst memory was of the age of 20!'' Long Ming felt a chill in his spine.


    However, he slowly put everything together. He didn''t believe that system could be lying in such a matter. However, Long Ming forgot 12 Years'' worth of memories.


    '' And what''s with this fate of Deste Heaven Murder Star? So much confusion.''


    Long Ming adjusted his mind as he took a deep breath. Going outside, he quickly noticed the maid.


    " Hey�Um, Beautiful sister, Can you help me for a bit?"


    Long Ming''s tone was sweet as he spoke to that maid. Long Ming couldn''t help but look at the maid with side eyes.


    ''Even a maid looking much better than girls on earth. But, I need to stay cautious.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    '' First rule of Immortal World, stay polite and ttering as possible if you are an insect.''


    The maid looked at Long Ming as she was surprised when she heard ''Beautiful Sister.'' Adjusting her expression, she walked to Long Ming.


    " What happened? What do you need?''


    '' Beautiful sister, Do you have any books regarding history and culture? I am a bit bored, so I would like to read them.''


    '' Very well, I will send you something.''


    Thank you, Beautiful sister.'' Long Ming smiled brightly. '' If I meet Young Miss Qinglian, I will put a good word for you.''


    '' En, you are sensible.'' The maid nodded with satisfaction.


    When she left, Long Ming sighed in relief. Soon, she returned with a stack of thick books.


    '' Ancient Compendium of Primal Chaos''


    Long Ming started to read the book. Thankfully, he can understand thenguage.


    '' So, This is Rain Dragon Continent, one among several continents in Heaven Pir ne.''


    '' In this world, everything can cultivate the path of immortality. Qi Revolution, Violet Pce Expansion, True Core Formation Realm, Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, Harmonization Realm, Nine Revolution of Soul Realm, Dao Refining Realm, Ancient Lord Realm, Grand Heaven Ascension Realm.''


    Long Ming wiped his sweat. '' What''s with these long ass names? But then, these are the nine realms of immortal cultivation.''


    After reading that book, Long Ming finally gained some basic ideas about this realm.


    '' Fuck! I have a system! But what the fuck with this 404 Error! Error you mother, You fucking bastard!''


    Long Ming calmed down as he tried to understand what he should do.


    '' Enhanced Six Senses� Long Ming calmed himself as he tried to focus. Soon, he could see everything clearly 20 meters away. His hearing was also enhanced.


    " Alright, This is something I can understand. Next, Trick Shot." Jun Tianyun tapped on it as his mind felt some changes.


    He picked up a small thing in his room and suddenly threw it. The thing hit the ce he intended. Long Ming felt strange as if it wasser guided aimbot.


    " Alright, So Trickshot is more like my aiming capabilities." Long Ming then choose Shadow Dragon Breathing Method. He sat on the bed cross-legged as he tried to imitate the technique. He could feel a small tickle in his body.


    " Is this what they called Qi? Hahaha! I must be a genius! To think I sensed Qi in such a short period of time." Long Ming grinned as he kept circting the small ball of energy in his body.


    After three hours, he felt like hepleted the first cirction as his body felt cool and refreshed. '' That''s pretty good.''


    As he was sitting on the bed, someone knocked on the door again. As he opened the door, he saw two guards standing outside.


    " Bring him to me!"


    A voice spoke as the guards red at Long Ming. Long Ming''s hair stood on its end when he saw the guards. They looked anything but friendly.


    " Wait! No need to force me! I am going." Long Ming kept his face calm as he walked forward. In the courtyard, he saw a young man wearing a ck colored robe, with a sword on his back.


    " Hmph! Are you that man Qinglian brought back? You are looking so weak!"


    Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva but pretended to be calm. " It does look like that. But before that, who is this dao brother?"


    " You don''t know me? I am Li Jian, Core Disciple of Six Sword Pavilion." Li Jian spoke with a prideful tone.


    Long Ming cursed in his heart when he heard that.


    '' Fucking what! Are you seriously sending a Core Disciple, a level 50 Mob to a LV 0 noob like me? Where is the justice in the world!''


    '' This game is rigged! Where is the manager!!''


    '' Boy, You look nothing impressive. Tell me, What rtionship do you have with Qinglian!" Li Jian looked at him as he asked.


    Long Ming''s back was drenched in sweat, but strange enough, he was able to retain his calm. " Oh, So it''s brother Li Jian. You are asking about my rtionship with Young Miss Mu Qinglian?"


    " Well, You can say that we know each other. Why do you ask?"


    Li Jian''s expression was stoic as he spoke. " Boy, I am telling you. Fuck off from here. You are not worthy of Mu Qinglian."


    "???"


    Long Ming felt utter confusion when he heard that. " Worthy? What do you even mean? I don''t understand what you saying."


    Li Jian snorted as he took out his sword. " I knew it, You aren''t going admit so easily. I challenge you to a duel!"


    Long Ming''s face turned dark when he heard that.


    '' I swear to god only I got the strength to bitch p this bastard. Fuck, who the fuck just ask for a duel outta nowhere.''


    Long Ming looked at Li Jian. " I see, You want to fight me, huh? Are you sure you wanna fight here?"


    " Why? Got scared?" Li Jian snorted. " Tell me your name. I don''t trample over nameless beggars."


    " Beggars, you say? Do you really think I am a beggar?" Long Ming gave a smile. However, his heart was thumping madly.


    '' I got one chance. I have to use the Empty Fort strategy. Long Ming, you don''t want to die on the first day of new life, right?'' Long Ming thought inwardly as he looked at Li Jian.


    " You said you want to fight here. Do you know where is this ce?" Long Ming spoke calmly.


    Li Jian was startled as he answered. " This is the courtyard of Mu Qinglian. What''s about it?"


    " Let me guess, you are the admirer of Mu Qinglian, right?" Long Ming asked.


    Li Jian blushed lightly, but his expression returned.


    " No, I mea�


    " Oh, you are saying you don''t like Miss Mu Qinglian?" Long Ming retorted.


    " No! Who said that? I like her!"


    " Oh, so you like her!"


    " I mean�


    Li Jian got flustered a bit, but his expression changed. " Bastard! Are you trying to fool me!"


    Long Ming shrugged. " Well, Let''s assume you like Mu Qinglian. However, do you want to fight with me, her acquaintance�hee, in her courtyard, without her permission?"


    " It looks like you disregard herpletely." Long Ming spoke in a light, but serious voice. " I didn''t you a Core Disciple of a reputation sect like Six Sword Pavilion could behave like that�


    " You! You are twisting the words!" Li Jian quivered as his sword lowered. He couldn''t help but feel that Long Ming was very repugnant.


    " What twisting? It''s you who is trying to disregard her." Long Ming spoke in a righteous tone.


    " Such dishonorable person, I disdain to fight with you!"


    Long Ming turned around after saying that, preparing to leave. However, he felt like his heart would explode from terror.


    Walking forward, he finally noticed Qinglian''s main maid, who camest night.


    " En, beautiful sister, These guys are making amotion in Miss Qinglian''s courtyard. Can you please see them out?"


    The main maid gave a strange expression to Long Ming, but she nodded and looked at Li Jian.


    " Young Master Li Jian, as I told you, Miss Qinglian isn''t here. So, I hope you can return. When young miss wille back, I will inform you."


    " Bu-But� Li Jian''s expression turned stiff as if he was unwilling. Long Ming took this chance.


    " See? It seems like people taking Miss Qinglian very lightly. Such shame�


    The maid''s eyes turned cold as she looked at Li Jian. Li Jian trembled as he sheathed his sword.


    " Very well, I am leaving. I hope you will inform Miss Mu Qinglian once she returns."


    When Long Ming saw Li Jian and his guards left, he took light steps as he entered the room, closing the room gently.


    The maid couldn''t help but give out an amusing smile. " This man is interesting."


    " Haah! HAAAH! Fuck! I am alive? I am ALIVE!!"


    Long Ming slumped on the ground as he started to breathe haggardly. He saw a jug as he walked and drank water to calm himself down.


    " Huuu, I seeded. I seeded in cheating death twice." Long Ming muttered.


    He gambled his chance out for three reasons.


    First, Since Li Jian knew Mu Qinglian brought him here, he would naturally feel Ling Ming''s background must be quite something. Never in the world, he would think that Long Ming is a mortal chicken.


    '' Not to mention those treasures which can hide one''s cultivation. My weakness really became my strength this time.'' Long Ming thought.


    Second, when Long Ming knew that it was indeed Mu Qinglian''s courtyard, he decided to use the third reason, Li Jian''s weakness toward Mu Qinglian, to counter him.


    Thankfully, Mu Qinglian''s maid gave him a helping hand.


    " Whew, At least I survived." Long Ming spoke.


    But then, the screen in front of him shed.


    [ Ding! No appropriate system for Host found! The Infinity Roulette Ha begun!]

    [ Host picked up a system!]

    Long Ming was stunned when he saw the notification.


    " Courting Death System? Beta Tester?"


    Long Ming gritted his teeth as he raged. " I demand an exnation! At least hand me over the manual!"


    [ Ding! Host has activated Infinity Star Roulette since there wasn''t apatible system for Host]

    Long Ming felt like his brain is going to explode from anger. However, after a while, he calmed down.


    " Courting Death System, Open!"


    [ Ding!]


    A purple interface appeared before Long Ming as the introduction appeared.


    [ What kind of protagonist are you if you don''t make your opponent vomit blood? What sort of cultivator are you if you don''t make your enemy''s face turn green and veins pop out?]

    Long Ming gulped as he nodded. " Well, All of these sound pretty imposing. Heh, Although this Courting Death System Sounds bad, at least it gave of out good rewards."


    Long Ming started to read the description of the treasures he got.


    [ Supreme Comprehension Card: Using this card, you canprehend a single technique to its maximum potential, achieving enlightenment and full ability of that technique]


    " Well, Alright. This is some good shit." Long Ming nodded as he looked further.

    [ Basic Weapon Mastery Card: Master the utmost basic of a single type of weapon]


    " Well, Fuck."


    Long Ming rubbed his forehead. '' What the hell I am going to do with basic techniques when my enemies will be using Immortal Spells?''


    '' But wait, There is still thatst one remaining.''


    Long Ming looked at the Deste Immortal Aura with utmost anticipation. It even got the word, ''Immortal'' in it. Doesn''t that sound awesome?''


    [ Ding! Host acquired Deste Immortal Aura!]


    [ Deste Immortal Aura: Clears all impurities from your body and fills you with an ethreal aura. Charm increased by 500%]

    [ Definitely the best thing material that helps you court death]


    [ Host! Please continue to court death for better rewards]


    " Your bath and lunch are ready. You better get prepared because the youngdy is returning soon"


    Long Ming''s face was already ugly when he saw the description of Deste Immortal Aura.


    ''So, It basically turns me into a pretty boy?''


    Long Ming sighed as he saw the Cooking Sage''s Knife beside him.


    '' If Imit suicide, What are the chances I will reincarnate in a better ce?''


    Long Ming pondered seriously as he held the Cooking God''s Knife. But hearing about bath and lunch, his mind changed.


    '' Mm, Maybe I shouldmit suicide after lunch. I mean, I at least have to eat a meal in the immortal world, right?''


    Long Ming nodded as he went and took a bath. When he came out, he frowned a bit.


    " I was that dirty? The water looks so muddy." He mumbled as he wore his clothes.


    Mu Qinglian''s main maid who helped Long Ming already served food on the table already. Her name was Ling''er.


    " When are youing? The food getting cold."


    " I am here."


    Ling''er turned around in annoyance. " You are so¡­"


    However, she stopped midway as her eyes widened in shock. Looking at Long Ming who wore a simple robe walked forward and sat on the chair.


    " Mm, This smells nice. Thank you, Miss Ling''er, for the meal." Long Ming smiled gracefully as he took a bite of the vegetable stew.


    " Mm, This is really tasty. I never ate something like this."


    However, Ling''er remained silent as she kept staring at Long Ming.


    " Long Ming, right?"


    " Yes?" Long Ming stopped eating as he looked at Ling''er. " What happened? Why are you keep staring at me like that?"


    " Un, I just feel you look pretty different." Ling''er blushed lightly as she tried to look away.


    Long Ming didn''t say anything but his heart thumped. '' Could it be¡­ Deste Immortal Aura?''


    '' 500% Charm, Eloquence, I should try!''


    Long Ming coughed lightly as he gave a bright smile. " What is it, Miss Ling''er? I only took a bath and washed away the dirt on me. Is there any problem?"


    " I hope I am not bothering you too much?"


    " Ah, No¡­ Not really. I am just doing what the youngdy told me." Ling''er spoke as her cheeks turned slightly red. She couldn''t help but cast slight nces at Long Ming who was enjoying the food.


    '' En, Was this fellow always had been this handsome? He feels so different.'' Ling''er thought inwardly.


    However, Long Ming was secretly pleased. '' Attitude of Ling''er really changed so much. Deste Immortal Aura is quite something.''


    But now, Long Ming understood why it is called the top tired courting death material.


    Sure, you can get all the beautifuldies to go after you. But at what cost? The cost of the envious young masters.


    Now Long Ming was weaker than a wild demon chicken. Even someone like Li Jian can kill him with a p. So, Long Ming had to tread carefully.


    After eating, Long Ming walked back to his room. However, he was stunned when he saw Mu Qinglian sitting on the bed.


    However, Mu Qinglian was even more surprised than Long Ming when she saw him.


    " Eh? What happened to you? Did you apply some makeup?" Mu Qinglian asked. Long Ming''s face couldn''t help but be a bit strange.


    " Where do I have a chance to wear make-up? I am not an eunuch." Long Ming spoke ill-humoredly.


    " Well, You are indeed not an eunuch¡­yet."


    Long Ming felt a breeze of cold air under his crotch as he hurriedly bowed. '' Lady Qinglian is a graceful beauty. I beseech you to give me a chance."


    Long Ming pulled out his 101 ways to apologize.


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she asked. " You said you are proficient in four arts, right? How about giving me a demonstration?"


    Long Ming was startled as he nodded hurriedly. " Young Lady maybe give me a subject and I will try writing a poem."


    " Bamboo." Mu Qinglian spoke. Long Ming smirked as he nodded.


    " Very well."


    Long Ming secretly opened the system panel as he used the Super Memory Card.


    All the years he spent being an inte geek and a bookworm, he could remember everything clearly.


    ''Well, It''s showtime.''


    Long Ming coughed lightly as he said the couplet.


    Sitting alone in a bamboo grove


    Plucking a zither, whistling along


    Deep in the forest, in a spot unknown


    Waiting for a bright moon toe


    Mu Qinglian was startled when she heard Long Ming. " How did you know I y the zither?"


    " Eh?" Long Ming was startled as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " Well, I thought a graceful and elegantdy like you must be proficient in musical instruments."


    Long Ming''s expression remained calm. But he was mumbling inside, '' So, Even bullshitting, I cans till get one or two right thing, eh?''


    Mu Qinglian stood up and nodded. " En, It looks like you are notpletely useless. However, It is still so strange."


    " I never thought someonepletely mortal like you still existed. Even rural vige children are at Qi Revolution Realm. However. I couldn''t find a shred of True Qi inside you."


    Long Ming''s face turned stiff as he nodded. " Well, You can say I was trying a different cultivation method."


    " But, You are still a mortal, right?" Mu Qinglian asked.


    "Perhaps?" Long Ming chuckled. Mu Qinglian walked toward Long Ming as she raised his chin with her slender fingers.


    " You know what will happen if I found that you are plotting something, right?"


    Long Ming hurriedly nodded. " I know,"


    " En, Good. You are sensible. Since you are good at poetry. I will give you a chance. There will be a gathering of young people in my sect. I want you to go forward and win."


    " A literature gathering, is it?" Long Ming asked. Mu Qinglian nodded in confirmation.


    Long Ming nodded as a smile crept on his lips. " Very well."


    " Now, get out."


    Long Ming froze when he heard that. Mu Qinglian crossed her arm as she looked at Long Ming. " This room is mine after all."


    " Oh, is that so? I am sorry, I will leave¡­"


    However, before Long Ming could leave, his eyes fell on the corner of the room. He could see ck embroidery lingerie lying on the chair.


    Suddenly, he felt a cold aura as his body froze in terror.


    " Oh? It seems you got quite some eyes, huh? How about you stay here for a while and I will teach you some discipline."


    " N-No! I don''t want to burden youngdy" Long Ming gave a nervous smile." I saw nothing at all."


    " Hmph! Go out!"


    Long Ming nodded as he hurriedly walked outside. But then, he suddenly stopped as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " Miss Mu¡­ I wish to ask you something."


    " En? What is it?"


    " What is your cultivation level?"


    Mu Qinglian was stunned as a smile crept on her lips.


    " Primordial Spirit Unification Realm."


    Long Ming was petrified when he heard that. Mu Qinglian chuckled as she closed the door.


    '' Mother! This game is unfair! I want a refund!!''

 Chapter 4: Literary Meeting In Eternal Spring Tower

    Chapter 4: Literary Meeting In Eternal Spring Tower


    Long Ming was given his own room he sat there and pondered. Currently, there are too many things happening in his mind so needed to sort it out.


    " First, Let''s see what kind of things I have."


    He realized a few things.


    First, the system items can be put into the system subspace and retrieved at any time.


    Second, When using Shadow Dragon Breathing Method, he can make the spider lily tattoo on his arm disappear and reappear again.


    Thirdly,


    [ Sky Crackling Beads: Aim at a ce and then decide when you wish to use. Then simply say ''Explode'' in your heart and watch the fun]


    Long Ming raised his brows. '' It looks like some sort of talisman, pretty much an offense type. I will keep it.''


    Long Ming sighed as he looked around. '' No, even if it is trash, System is a system. I need to use it to its full potential.''


    At that moment, Ling''er entered the room. " Youngdy asked me to get you ready. The meeting will happen in the evening."


    " Alright." Long Ming nodded as a sudden thought appeared in his mind. Looking at Ling''er, his lips curled up.


    " Miss Ling''er, I have a favor to ask you.'' Long Ming spoke. " What is your cultivation realm?"


    " Mine?"


    Ling''er was startled as she blushed a bit. " Nothing impressive. I am just at the peak of Violet Pce Expansion Realm"


    Long Ming almost choked when he heard that. However, heposed himself.


    " Well, I am going to ask you something. Correct me if I am wrong, ok?"


    " What is it?" Ling''er became curious.


    " You are wearing ck."


    " Hmm?" Ling''er was startled. " What do you mean, my dress is blue, not ck."


    " No, As I said, you are wearing ck."


    " What ck?"


    " Your underwear."


    " They are pink¡­" Ling''er paused as her face turned red.


    " YOU!!"


    " Ah, pink, is it? Very good choice." Long Ming nodded


    Ling''er became flustered and angry at the same time. She pulled out her dagger and pointed at Long Ming.


    " Hmph! It seems you are really a pervert as Young Lady said. I need to teach you a lesson."


    " Ahh! Calm down, Miss Ling''er. I was just joking."


    Long Mingughed as he tried to calm her down. " I was just having some preparation before we go to the literary meeting."


    " Is that so?" Ling''er snorted but she lowered her dagger. " If you dare to harass me again, I will¡­ Tell youngdy."


    She turned around and escaped.


    [ Ding! Host survived a near death situation! Hostt received a Treasured Painting Brush!]


    A jade brush appeared in Long Ming''s hand as he sighed. However, he understood the principle of the system.


    First, his body is too weakpared to anything in this world. Even the lightest action from the opposite party can easily kill him.


    However, due to such risk, he can court death faster and more efficiently way. The opponent needs to show a bit of hostility and he will get the reward.


    '' Well, this literary meeting. It will be a fine ce to harvest xp.''


    When evening approached, Long Ming wore a deep blue robe with a beautiful pattern on it. With that, when he walked outside, everyone in Mu Qinglian''s estate couldn''t help but stare at him in awe.


    " Such a handsome young man. Just look at his temperament!''


    '' My heart! My heart is thumping so hard when I look at him.''


    " Such ethereal and serene aura. He looked like he doesn''t belong to this world."


    However, when Mu Qinglian appeared, she also drew the great attention of others.


    She wore a light green colored dress as it was pretty tight fitting. Her body was high lighted by it perfectly. The sleeveless dress exposed her tender white arms as she looked like a fairy.


    Long Ming was also stunned as he greeted her. Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she fell into thought. No one knew what she was thinking, but a light smile appeared on her face.


    " Come, Let''s get going."


    Long Ming and Mu Qinglian sat inside a carriage. But Long Ming became stunned when he saw giant cranes appear as they started to pull the carriage, turning it into a flying carriage.


    " Immortal world, ah!"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming''s expression as she couldn''t help but get amused. Soon, they reached a city and Mu Qinglian led him to a building.


    " Eternal Spring Tower?"


    Long Ming read the name with curiosity. However, when he entered, he was stunned.


    " This ce¡­ It''s a brothel?"


    "I think you should say, A ce of entertainment and pleasure."


    Mu Qinglian spoke without any hesitation. Long Ming''s face twitched when he heard Mu Qinglian.


    When they entered, Long Ming''s face couldn''t help but filled with awe.


    It was a giant tower, almost having thirty floors with spiral staircases. The luxury of the interior is something Long Ming never saw.


    Bright pearls can emit ambient light, and a fragrant cool breeze doing venttion. The furniture, the guests, the beautifuldies serving the guests, Long Ming couldn''t help but sigh.


    " Immortal World, Ah." Long Ming sighed.


    However, he wasn''t the only one who is gazing around curiously. Almost all thedies in Eternal Spring Tower paused as they looked at Long Ming.


    " Who is this handsome brother?"


    " Lady Mu brought such a fine gentleman. Young brother, Why don''t you apany this sister for tonight?"


    " Hurr hurr, Don''t you have work today? Little brother, won''t you prefer me? I am so young and beautiful¡­"


    All the women''s eyes lit up when they saw a young man wearing a light blue colored robe with hair tied behind.


    His skin was smooth like jade as his eyes sparkled with wisdom and calmness. He looked like a higher being strolling lightly around.


    Although Long Ming put a calm facade, his face was already darkened. To him, all those women were like hungry wolves, staring at him as their prey.


    Mu Qinglian chuckled as she waved her hands. " Sisters, enough teasing him. He is my guest in tonight''s literary evening."


    " Oh, Is that so? Little brother''s background must be very powerful."


    " En, Just look at his graceful bearing."


    Suddenly, Long Ming could see many males looking at him with hostile intentions. A sudden idea appeared in his mind as his lips curled.


    " Beautiful sister, This humble one is Long Ming. Since today is our fated encounter, I would like to have a beautiful evening with all of you."


    Long Ming chuckled as he swept as gaze around all the men. " I am sure I will be more entertaining than any of the esteemed guests here. Because¡­"


    " Mine is pretty big and long¡­ than anyone."


    Long Ming chuckled.


    " What did you say?!"


    " Who is that bastard? How dare he insult me?"


    " You!!"


    All the courtesans blushed when they heard Long Ming. As for the men, their face was red due to anger. Few of them already jumped for action. But seeing Mu Qinglian, they backed away.


    Mu QInglian''s face turned pink as she red at Long Ming. Long Ming cleared his throat.


    " What is it? I am clearly talking about m poems. Huh? Why are you all acting weird?"


    Long Ming smirked as he put on an innocent face.


    " Oh, Young Master Long. You are so¡­"


    " Hahaha, What a cheeky brother."


    " Little brother, You cane to this big sister anytime. I won''t mind¡­"


    [ Ding! Host escaped death from a hundred powerful individuals. Host gets Sky Piercing Sword Talisman. Additionally, Host gets 5 roulette tickets]


    Long Ming was stunned as he saw the description of the Sky Piercing Sword Talisman.


    [ Sky Piercing Sword Talisman: A powerful treasured talisman filled with mighty sword intent of Sword Sage. Tear the talisman or p it on an object to use. It will deliver a single attack of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm]


    '' Tch, A consumable item. But its firepower is great. But well, I have lottery tickets. I hope something good wille out.'' Long Ming muttered inwardly.


    But he couldn''t help but cackle in his heart when he looked around. A good ce to safely court death, Ah.


    However, Long Ming noticed one particr thing. Even though this ce was filled with cultivators, no one seems to notice that he is a mortal. That made Long Ming feel slightly better.


    '' Is this because of my Deste Immortal Aura?''


    Mu Qingyan led Long Ming to the top floor of the Eternal Spring Tower. It was a vast, open terrace where Long Ming could see the entire city''s night view.


    " Grand Sky City indeed looks beautiful."


    Mu Qinglian muttered. Long Ming nodded. Suddenly, he could see a gathering full of young men and women.


    All of them wore exquisite clothing and Long Ming could feel a strange but powerful aura around them.


    " Ah, Miss Mu finally arrived, We are really getting bored." A young man stood up as he greeted her.


    However, Long Ming could see that the young man was ogling Mu Qinglian''s body.


    " Xu Min of Six Sword Pavilion greets Lady Mu."


    " Shao Yuan of Purple Cloud Sect greets Lady Mu."


    " Oh, You have finally arrived, Qinglian." With a haughty sound, a man walked out. " Even if I don''t need it, I will introduce myself. I am Mo Zhu of Blissful Sky Temple."


    " And, who is this youngster maybe?"


    Mo Zhu''s eyes squinted as he red at Long Ming. Long Ming felt a powerful pressure on him as he couldn''t help but rage inwardly while keeping a perfectly calm face.


    '' Fuck your nine generations! Why must you need to use bullshit aura all the time?!''


    Mu Qinglian noticed as she secretly held Long Ming''s sleeve, dissipating the pressure.


    Long Ming coughed lightly as he spoke. " This humble one is Long Ming. You can say¡­ I am just a schr who wanders throughout thends."


    " Schr, you say?" A girl looked at Long Ming as her eyes glittered. " Brother Long certainly got a schrly bearing."


    Suddenly, Long Ming became the center of attention for everyone. Mu Qinglian stepped forward as she spoke.


    " Well, Tonight, the younger generation of various great sects gathered here for a meeting. I hope you all will enjoy your time in our Eternal Spring Tower."


    Mu Qinglian pped as rows of girls came, serving wines in exquisite sses. Everyone cheered as they drank.


    Long Ming sat beside Mu Qinglian as many of them tried to toast to Long Ming. Mo Zhu''s eyes were still on Long Ming as he suddenly got up.


    " Well, Schr you say¡­ Why don''t you create some poem for us?"


    A curl appeared on Long Ming''s lips as he chuckled.


    " Is that so?"

 Chapter 5: A Poem Under Moonlight

    Chapter 5: A Poem Under Moonlight


    Long Ming was amused when he saw Mo Zhu. Without any doubt, He could feel that Mo Zhu was trying to court Mu Qinglian.


    With a light chuckle, Long Ming raised his wine ss. " Well, Since Brother Mo proposed it, I can''t decline it naturally. But then¡­ I would like to see your capabilities first."


    Long Ming shrugged. " I mean, If you sing in front of a deaf, That will be both insults for the singer and the deaf, right?"


    Mo Zhu''s face turned dark when he heard Long Ming. " Are you calling me deaf?"


    Long Ming gave a smug smile. " Well, That depends on perspective. Brother Mo really thought he is deaf, huh?"


    " You!!"


    Mo Zhu''s face darkened as a sharp aura erupt from his body. However, Mu Qinglian ced her cup on the table as he nced at Mo Zhu.


    " I hope everyone remembers the rule of this gathering."


    Her voice was soft and pleasant, but it also carried an unparalleled momentum. Mo Zhu snorted.


    " Very well, I shall show you the true capabilities of Blissful Sky Temple."


    Mo Zhu waved his hand as the wine in the ss started to float. With a stroke, the wine droplets turned into a four liner poem.


    " Good! Such a good poem!"


    " Brother Mo Zhu is someone who got both schrly aurae along with his cultivation power."


    Mu Qinglian raised her brows. " Indeed, It''s very good."


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, If this is good¡­ Please, Allow me¡­"


    Long Ming took out the jade brush from the system and dipped it into his wine ss.


    With a stroke, Long Ming''s brush sttered on air as he wrote a poem.


    ''Drinking Alone by Moonlight''


    A cup of wine, under the flowering trees;


    I drink alone, for no friend is near.


    Raising my cup I beckon the bright moon,


    For he, with my shadow, will make three men.


    The moon, s, is no drinker of wine;


    Listless, my shadow creeps about at my side.


    Yet with the moon as a friend and the shadow as a ve


    I must make merry before the Spring is spent.


    To the songs I sing the moon flickers her beams;


    In the dance, I weave my shadow tangles and breaks.


    While we were sober, three shared the fun;


    Now we are drunk, each goes his way.


    May we long share our odd, inanimate feast,


    And meet atst on the Cloudy River of the sky.


    (Poem by Li Bai)


    When Long Ming ended writing, the crowd turned silent. Everyone looked at their wine sses as their face containedplicated emotions.


    Mu Qinglian was shocked when she looked at Long Ming. Mo Zhu almost choked on his wine as his expression turned grim.


    Long Ming chuckled. " As I said, If brother Mo''s poem was good¡­What is mine then?"


    Long Ming''s voice echoed as Mo Zhu''s face turned dark. Mu Qinglian''s face was shocked at first. However, a coy smile appeared on her face.


    " My my, Brother Long really hid deep. This poem is truly something."


    Mu Qinglian cast a nce at Long Ming as there was a faint smile on her face. Long Ming shrugged as he looked at his jade brush.


    [ Treasured Jade Brush: A powerful treasure forged into a jade brush. Anything can be its ink and it can write in any way the writer wants. It also contains some mysterious powers]


    Mo Zhu was angry when he heard Long Ming. " Is that so? Hmph! Then I will show you something better!"


    *After 3 rounds*


    " Impressive! Brother Long''s poems are quite something! Moonlight and wine, what a greatbination!"


    " Senior brother Long, your poems really gave me some inspiration. I think I can finally understand the Moon Shadow Sword Art." Xu Min of Six Sword Pavilion stood up as he cupped his fist.


    " But I do agree with Brother Long''s words." Shao Yuan chuckled as he looked at Mo Zhu. " If Mo Zhu''s poem was good, What will be yours?"


    " Hahahaha!"


    " You!!"


    Mo Zhu red at Long Ming as if he wished to kill him. Mu Qinglian''s eyes narrowed. " Mo Zhu, It looks like you are not well-versed in hiding your emotions, huh?"


    " Hmph!"


    Long Ming wiped his sweat as he couldn''t help but give a thumbs up to Mu Qinglian.


    [ Ding! Host escaped from death! Host gets a random card box!]


    Mo Zhu suddenly got up as he couldn''t help butugh." Well, Brother Long sure upheld his title as a schr. Imend him for that."


    He sat back as he enjoyed the wine the poem written by Long Ming slowly faded from the air. Long Ming still sat on his chair leisurely. Suddenly, A person stood up.


    " Well, These mundane poems aren''t much good. Fairy Mu, Shouldn''t we start the next phase?"


    Mu QInglian nodded as she stood up. Her dress fluttered as she spoke. " Well, Now, The reason I asked everyone toe here is to show this."


    With a wave of her hand, a ck stone tablet appeared in the mid-air. It radiated a mysterious force as it floated silently.


    " Everyone, This is a Dao Perspective Box. I recently got it due to my luck. So, I hope we all can have fun with it."


    The crowd was excited. But some of them needed rification too. Shao Yuan stood up.


    " For those who don''t know, the Dao Perspective box is both a toy and a treasure safe. It will measure yourprehension of your technique. It looks like a nine veined version."


    " The more yourprehension toward a technique the more veins will light up. It is used to measure theprehension power of an individual."


    " Of course, if you light up all nine veins, you might get a treasure. But that depends on fate."


    Long Ming and everyone else became enlightened.


    '' So, It is like that strength measuring things of the novel, but it measuresprehension?'' Long Ming pondered.


    " If that''s the case, I will go first."


    A disciple jumped forward as he touched the stone tablet. " Herees, My Hundred Battle Fist!"


    The stone tablet hummed and soon, one vein turned into golden color. However, the second being was only lit half.


    " One and a half vein? Tsk."


    Shao Yuan jumped as he touched the stone tablet. A violet-colored qi shrouded him as a serene phantom of purple clouds and the fragrant wind appeared around him.


    " Violet Sky Feather Art!"


    The purple qi enshrouded the tablet as the suddenly, three veins lit up with golden light. As the phantom around Shao Yuan became stronger, He finally managed to light up the fifth vein.


    " Sigh, I guess I still have a long way to go. I need to master my Violet Sky Feather Art more." Shao Yuanughed.


    Xu Min walked forward as he greeted Long Ming. " Thanks to Brother Long, I gained some small attainment in my technique. So, Let''s see if it will work"


    Drawing out his sword, chains of runes started to revolve around it. Long Ming almost closed his eyes as he felt like his eyes going to get pierced. It was so sharp that Long Felt he is going to die by cutting it into pieces.


    Suddenly, A warm aura appeared around him as he saw Mu Qinglian standing before him.


    '' Ah, So she protected me¡­''


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian with thankful eyes as he saw Xu Min.


    [ Ding! Host evaded death! Host gets Roulette Tickets 2x]


    " Moon Shadow Sword Art! Reflection of Moon!"


    Suddenly, His sword shone like pale moonlight as if his sword turned into a fragment of the moon.


    " HAAAH!"


    He shed out his sword as the stone tablet buzzed. Suddenly, Seven veins lit up at once.


    " Seven veins?! Marvelous!"


    Shao Yuan chuckled. " I didn''t think Brother Xu was already on the verge of the Grand Completion stage of Moon Shadow Sword Art."


    After that, Mo Zhu went and disyed his art. He also managed to reach six veins.


    " Lady Mu, I would like your performance too."


    Mu Qinglian gave a chuckle as she walked forward. " Very well, I would like to test my capabilities too."


    Suddenly, a scorching aura appeared around Mu Qinglian as mes started to revolve around her. Long Ming was startled as he could feel the heat waves.


    " Scorching Summer Art! Radiant Dawn!"


    *WHOOOSH!*


    A pir of light and mes descended on the tablet as the veins started to light up one by one.


    One¡­two¡­Five¡­Eight!


    Mu Qinglian lit up eight veins at once.


    " Whoa! Eight Veins! Fairy Mu is powerful as usual."


    " Tsk, Only if she could light up nine veins. I wonder if that tablet contained some secret treasures."


    Mo Zhu suddenly chuckled as he looked at Long Ming.


    " Brother Long, I have admired your poems. Since you are a schr, I think your dao attainment must be higher than ours. Why don''t you show us your prowess?"


    Long Ming''s face turned cold as he looked at Mo Zhu. It looked like he was seeking trouble for Long Ming. However, Long Ming stood calmly as he was pondering something.


    " I do have the Supreme Comprehension Card. But the thing is, I don''t have any techniques toprehend, other than two."


    Long Ming got the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method. However, since it was from another world, he doesn''t know what sort of effect it will show. On the other hand, he does have a second technique.


    '' The Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth.'' Long Ming pondered.


    The name sounds super imposing indeed. However, if someone in this world hears about this technique, they might die¡­


    Not from shock, but fromughter.


    The Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth was the first and oldest technique recorded in the Compendium of Primordial Chaos. However, it could be said the simplest and most primitive technique.


    After millions of years, many emperors and sages appeared, bringing their own advanced techniques. So soon, it turned into a situation like an old nokia phone VStest thin, AI featured smartphone.


    But yeah, As a weapon, Nokia is technically superior anyway.


    There are absolutely not many who read Compendium of Primordial Chaos or Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth. Like, why someone goes for the oldest and slowest model when they could have countless better options?


    However, Long Ming felt strange.


    '' Countless techniques came and went. Some became like stars and some were buried in shadows. But this book and technique still passed on.''


    '' Hold up, Doesn''t the protagonist takes the simplest technique to make makes the most powerful bullshit¡­cough, dao out of it?''


    Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva as he took out the Supreme Comprehension Card.


    '' Activate the card! I wish to fullyprehend the Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth!''

 Chapter 6: Phenomenon of Heaven and Earth

    Chapter 6: Phenomenon of Heaven and Earth


    [ Ding! Host shall gain fullprehension in Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth!]


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt his vision darkening as everything around him faded. He was in a trance as he suddenly felt a strange, ethereal feeling.


    Mu Qinglian''s expression changed as she took a step back. The crowd looked at Long Ming with surprised expressions.


    Long Ming''s eyes were vacant as he took a step forward. The moment he touched the stone tablet, the stone tablet started to buzz.


    Mo Zhu''s expression changed, and so does everyone''s. They felt their soul shaking as Long Ming''s surrounding distorted.


    Colorful lights exploded behind him as it turned into a vortex of chaos. The Yin and Yang koi fish jumped out of a pool of chaos as they turned into two beams of light, connecting heaven and earth.


    The gust of wind rose as everyone could feel the mnemonics of dao runes circting around Long Ming. It was like an ancient chant, each word carrying the momentum of a great mountain.


    " Wh-What sort of technique is that?"


    " Such a fierce technique! I can feel my cultivation shaking!"


    " What a great dao phenomenon! I never saw such a great phenomenon."


    Mu Qinglian''s expression turnedplicated as she saw the scene. The stone tablet buzzed as nine veins lit up with a golden radiance.


    The stone tablet cracked as a mass of purple cloud appeared from it. The cloud amassed as it turned into a few violet droplets. Mu Qinglian hurried as she collected all of them.


    " That liquid¡­ Is that Purple Star Elixir? My god, It is Purple Star Elixir!"


    " Purple Star Elixir is a natural treasure that is beneficial for cultivation and solidifying dao foundation."


    Long Ming''s sense returned as he looked around. " Huh? What happened?"


    He suddenly saw a row of notifications appearing on Courting Death System. However, He closed it and focused on his surrounding first.


    " Haha! Congrats, Dao Brother Long. You managed to light up all the nine veins!" Shao Yuan couldn''t help but sigh.


    " Tsk, Brother Long is lucky. To think you got Purple Star Elixir from that stone tablet."


    Long Ming got a stiff expression as he was very confused. But his mind came together as he suddenly understood something.


    " Ah, Yes¡­ That is what happened. Haha, Uh¡­ I guess it is mine now?" Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian.


    Mo Zhu suddenly stood up. " Brother Long, How about we exchange the treasure?"


    Long Ming''s brows furrowed as he felt the oppressive aura from Mo Zhu.


    " Well, Thanks for the offer, Brother Mo. But I would like to keep my spoils of victory to myself." Long Ming spoke with a calm expression.


    " Not to mention, This item wasn''t fated for you in the first ce. I mean¡­ How many veins did you light up? Ah, I can''t remember."


    " You!" Mo Zhu almost choked when he heard Long Ming''s sarcasm. Everyone else there couldn''t help but let out suppressedughter.


    " Good! Good!"


    Mo Zhu snorted as he sat back in his chair. His vision turned even colder. Long Ming felt a chill, but Mu Qinin only patted his shoulder.


    '' Don''t worry, He is just like that. He won''t do anything.''


    Long Ming was startled when Mu Qinglian''s voice rang in his mind. Long Ming gave a light nod.


    The meeting continued as Mu Qinglian and others discussed other affairs. Long Ming guessed that they were talking about some sort of uing tournament.


    '' Fuck tournament! Let me think how am I going to escape from here first?'' Long Ming thought.


    However, as he was thinking, a disciple stood up.


    " I am Liang Ge of Blissful Heaven Temple. After I witnessed the dao phenomenon of Brother Long, I wish to have a friendly spar with you." Liang Ge cupped his fist.


    " Oh, Fighting in such ce is¡­"


    Long Ming was calm, but he was crying inside.


    '' What the hell? I just gave you three good poems and you want to fight me? How dare you fight against someone weak like me!!!''


    But before Long Ming could finish, Mo Zhu cut in. " Well, We all know each other. But We all want to see Brother Long''s prowess."


    " The man Fairy Mu brought must be capable, huh?"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but re at Mo Zhu. He already put Mo Zhu in the sure kill list. He immediately understood that Mo Zhu is trying to gauge his strength.


    Suddenly, Long Ming tugged Mu Qinglian as he asked her a question.


    " That Liao Ge, What is his cultivation?"


    Mu Qinglian was startled as she looked at Long Ming. " What? Are you seriously going to fight with him?"


    " Just tell me already,"


    Mu Qinglian chuckled. " Well, He is in Mid stage of the Core Formation Realm. However, I think He can easily fight with the Peak stage of Core Formation Realm."


    The greater realms were divided by four stages, Low, Mid, High, and Peak stage. It looked like Liao Ge was lying low, hiding his true power.


    A smile appeared on Long Ming''s lips as he walked forward. " Well, How can I say no? But I am a poor schr, I am afraid of my frail body."


    He walked forward with gentle steps, holding the jade brush in his hands. With the gentle breeze, Long Ming looked otherworldly.


    All the female cultivators present there couldn''t help but feel their hearts thumping loudly.


    " Waaaa! Why is he so handsome!"


    " Brother Long, We know you will win!!!"


    Liao Ge''s and other male''s faces twitched when they saw that. When both Long Ming and Liao Ge arrived on stage, Liao Ge bowed and greeted Long Ming.


    " Very well, Let''s start."


    Liao Ge took a step back as he was about to rush toward Long Ming. However, Long Ming only smirked as he snapped his fingers.


    *CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE*


    The crowd was stunned as they could hear a loud crackling sound as fireworks appeared.


    However, where did it appear?


    " AAHHHHHHH!!!!"


    Liao Ge screamed in agony as he jumped a dozen meters in the air as his ass exploded with firecrackers. Long Ming was also surprised when he saw the soaring figure of Liao Ge.


    *PSSSSSS*


    Fireworks continued to explode over his ass as he fell down, his pants ripped apart and his butt turned into a charred potato.


    Liao Ge twitched on the ground as he fainted immediately. The crowd turned silent when they saw the scene. They could feel a cold breeze in their pants as they shivered.


    " Mother! Wh-What sort of devious technique was that!"


    " Brother Long is fierce! Too fierce!"


    " Heh, Look at Mo Zhu''s face!"


    " Oh my! It seems I identally used too much of my power!" Long Ming returned to his sense as he spoke in a calm voice However, his heart was jumping inside.


    '' Heavens! What sort of thing those Sky Crackling Beads were? It is so¡­ Damn good!''


    Long Ming was already prepared to use the Sky Piercing Sword Talisman. However, He decided to use the Sky Crackling Beads first. But, Long Ming never thought that it will work so¡­well.


    Hearing Long Ming''s words, the crowd shivered. Mo Zhu''s face turned dark, but he was also astonished.


    [ Ding! Host Courted death and defeated a higher ss enemy! Calcting reward! Ding! Host received Golden Equipment Chest!]


    Long Ming was so mad that he almost exploded from rage. He looked at Mu Qinglian as he coughed lightly.


    " Miss Mu, I am feeling a bit stiff here. Can I¡­"


    " Sure, Brother Long. You already did very well today." Mu Qinglian gave a strange expression to Long Ming, but she smiled in the end.


    Long Ming hurriedly checked the system log as his expression turned strange.


    He started reading the logs when he used the Supreme Comprehension Card on Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth.


    [ Ding! Supreme Comprehension Card used on Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth! Host gained the ultimateprehension in Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth!]


    [ Ding! Host is now connected with the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth! Host''sprehension increased by an unimaginable amount!]


    [ Ding! Due to strange energy in Host''s body, Host reached ultimate affinity with Dao! Host achieved Heavenly Comprehension Heart!]


    [ Ding! Host achieved an Immeasurable rank object! The object is beyond System''s current capability! Adjusting causality! Reducing the System''s timer!]


    [ System''s timer reduced by 2 days]


    [ You have attracted the attention of few beings!]


    Ling''er was startled when she saw Long Ming''s expression. " Young Master Long, Are you worried about something?"


    " Un, Nothing really. I just need some rest." Long Ming sat at a table near the balcony as he was a bit distracted.


    " Young Master Long, I shall bring some wine and snacks for you then. Just wait a bit."


    Ling''''er was happy as she turned around and left. Long Ming sat silently as he saw the timer. He realized only 10 minutes left.


    [ Heavenly Comprehension Heart: An treasure that appeared only a few times since Immemorial Time. Your affinity toward Grand Dao, Heaven, and Earth increased! Yourprehension power increased by 2000%!]


    [ Your Chaotic Murder Heart evolved! You gained a new trait: Immovavble Will!]


    Long Ming was ted as he clenched his teeth. '' Well, If this is a literally SSSSR rank item, It makes me OP, right?"


    Long Ming held the wine ss as he tried to crush it, to test his newfound strength.


    But after ten minutes, the only thing that got crushed is his pride and his hand.


    '' Fuck! My strength is the same as before!! Then what is the use of this item!''


    As Long Ming was pondering, he decided to pat his heart.


    '' Don''t worry much. I still have a bunch of unused treasures. Let me use the roulette tickets first.''


    Long Ming got 10 roulette tickets and he used all of them at once.


    [ Ding! Host got nothing! Better luck next time!]


    [ Ding! Host got nothing! Better luck next time!]


    [ Ding! Host got nothing! Better luck next time!]


    Long Ming''s face turned dark as he spun the roulette more.


    [ Ding! Host gets a random skill enhancement card! Host''s Painting proficiency increased!!]


    [ Ding! Host gets a random skill enhancement card! Host''s Music proficiency increased!!]


    Then, after four unsessful tries, Long Ming finally got a golden item.


    [ Ding! Host gets a special profession! Divine Tailor!]


    The evening breeze blew as Long Ming looked at the clear night sky.


    " Fuck."


    Long Ming sighed as he looked at the wine ss in his hand.


    " Oh my, I didn''t think Mu Qinglian will bring such a cute toy for me."


    Long Ming shuddered when he heard the voice of a seductive and enchanting woman. Suddenly, the atmosphere filled with the nice fragrance of exotic flowers.


    But for Long Ming, it was the scent of trouble.

 Chapter 7: Enchantress!

    Chapter 7: Enchantress!


    Long Ming shuddered when he heard the sultry voice. He felt like the voice was alone to charm any man and make him lose control of his desires.


    However, At that moment, His Immovable Will trait activated as a cool wave washed his mind, making him calm again.


    Moreover, The Graceful Bearing ability made him sit with his usualposure with a calm face.


    Long Ming turned around. But his eyes couldn''t help but squint a bit.


    In front of him was a woman. Although Long Ming knew that the woman might be much more older, she looked like a woman in herte twenties. She wore a ck robe with a green vine pattern on it.


    However, Long Ming could see her attractive mature face, such a pair of ck eyes giving off a hidden charm like two abysses. Her figure was perfect and Long Ming could see the deep ravine between her plump mountains.


    Her thighs were revealed from the slits of the dress, invoking myriads of thoughts in onlookers.


    She could be called a beauty whom many guys would dly ask to step on them and call, " M-Mommy!"


    '' Not MILF but¡­she got quite a hot body.''


    Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva, but his expression remained neutral.


    " This beautiful big sister is an acquaintance of Miss Mu?" Long Ming asked in a calm voice.


    " Well, acquaintance you say? Hmm, You can say that." Thedy replied yfully as she walked toward Long Ming. She ced her hand on Long Ming''s shoulder as Long Ming could smell her perfume.


    " But, I never saw Qinglian mingling with another man, hmhm? Who are you, Little brother? Has Mu Qinglian finally got a boy toy for her?"


    Long Ming''s expression turned dark when he heard thedy.


    Boy toy? It would have been better if he was indeed one. But unfortunately, Long Ming isn''t.


    " Elder Sister is good at joking. I am just an ordinary friend of Miss Mu." Long Ming got up. " I am Long Ming, This big sister is¡­"


    " Meng Zhi, I am the Fifth Elder of Four Seasons Valley, Meng Zhi."


    " Ah, I see. It is Elder Meng¡­" Long Ming gave an understanding nod, but he was scared inside.


    '' Holy! It is an Elder! Goddamn, Why the hell there is an Elder here?'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    But it looks like Meng Zhi doesn''t have any malicious intentions toward him¡­or does she?


    " Long Ming, Hmm? What a nice name." Men Zhi smiled as her eyes narrowed. " Little brother is so handsome, I wonder if you are willing to discuss the moons and spring tonight with me?"


    Long Ming got a scar when he heard that.


    If someone asks his honest opinion, Long Ming would probably say, " Fuck yeah, Why not?"


    But Long Ming understood his position here. Before even doing anything, Long Ming will get a rare achievement, Snu Snu to Death.


    Long Ming snorted inwardly as he steadied his heart. Suddenly, the notification panel shed before him.


    [ Ding! Constetion The Harem King of Nine Realms looking at you with interest! He is saying: Go forward and conquer!]


    [ Ding! Master of Courting Death System, Thousand Venomous Tongue is asking other constetions to stay the fuck away!]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Realms negotiating with Thousand Venomous Tongue to give you a task]


    Long Ming''s expression changed when he saw when rows of messages.


    '' Constetions? You guys¡­ Aren''t you guys in the wrong genre?'' Long Ming couldn''t help but mutter.


    [ A Constetion is replying: Everything is for money]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Realms has given you a task: Get the sexy panties of Meng Zhi and make her taste a sweet defeat! Reward: A cultivation technique!]


    [ Ding! Courting Death System is activated! Penalty after failure: Nothing]


    [ Secondary penalty: A slight chance Meng Zhi might p you to death]


    Long Ming felt his back drenched with cold sweat when he saw the prompts.


    '' What the fuck? Why there is a second penalty anyway?!!''


    pped to death? He would rather strive for getting snu snu to death.


    Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi as he smiled. He got an idea in his mind as he epted the task.


    " Well, Now I look at Big Sister Meng Zhi, I do have some inspiration. I hope big sister won''t mind?"


    Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming with a slightly interested expression. " Oh, I am d. I would like to see."


    Long Ming got up as the Treasured Jade Brush appeared in his hands. Meng Zhi''s eyes narrowed when he saw the jade brush.


    " May I have a paper?" Long Ming asked.


    " Why not?" Meng Zhi pped her hand as her maid brought ink and paper. Long Ming nodded as he dipped his brush in the ink as he started to paint.


    '' My painting skill, I am counting on you.'' Long Ming prayed inwardly as he started to paint. He poured all his years of '' Easy Way to draw anime'' and '' How to Draw Hentai'' into his brush.


    Thanks to the jade brush''s ability, Long Ming can easily change the color ording to his will. So, It was very convenient for him.


    Meng Zhi saw Long Ming making some random strokes first. No matter how she looked, Long Ming didn''t take the normal approach.


    '' Is he really another man who boasts his ability? Maybe I should take him away from Qinglian.'' Meng Zhi thought inwardly.


    '' But he is so handsome¡­ That charming face.''


    She couldn''t help but smack her lips in a seductive manner.


    However, Meng Zhi''s eyes narrowed as she suddenly felt a powerful momentum from Long Ming. Long Ming secretly activated his Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth as his strokes became faster and faster.


    Soon, the canvas filled with colorful strokes as Long Ming''s brush glided on it. The colorful mess slowly took a perfect shape as the entire canvas emitted a divine glow.


    It felt like the colors were jumping out from the canvas as Meng Zhi felt the subtle dao rhyme from Long Ming. He was truly focused on making the drawing, as he gave the final stroke.


    After finishing the painting, Long Ming started to write something on the corner.


    This spring morning in bed I''m lying,


    Not to awake till the birds are crying.


    In this house on this dayst year, a pink face vied


    In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side


    After one night of wind and showers,


    How many are the fallen flowers?


    Thanks to the ability enhancement, Long Ming was able toplete his painting in twenty minutes. After that, he added a poem from the Earth in the corner to highlight it.


    Meng Zhi''s eyes widened when she saw the painting. The colorful strokes now depict a scene.


    It is a scene, where Meng Zhi wearing a white colored robe. Although Long Ming used her face in the painting, she didn''t exclude any charming aura at all.


    However, with a slender long sword in her hand, she raised in a stance, with plum blossoms swirling around it in a magical way.


    Meng Zhi''s facial expression was calm, but one could see a tale of a heroic woman in this portrait.


    It looked extremely real as if one could feel the blowing wind and fluttering plum blossoms, along with the sharp edge of Meng Zhi''s sword.


    Also, When Meng Zhi saw the poem, her heart couldn''t help but thump. Waking up in bed and looking and the print flower, does that means his night in the brothel? And the pink peach blossom beauty, Was it Meng Zhi?


    But the end of the poem, depicting the fallen flowers, made Meng Zhi most amazed.


    Indeed, Nothing is eternal in this world. Like a flower is withering, one day, she will lose her beauty as well. However, That made her even more determined to strive forward.


    Long Ming looked so young, Yet his ways are so profound.


    Meng Zhi couldn''t help but p as a smile bloomed on her beautiful face.


    " Little Brother Long''s painting is truly profound. This cheap woman never thought I will be able to get such a gift from you."


    " Haha, What cheap woman, Sister Meng?" Long Ming shook his head. " Please, do not degrade yourself."


    " Well, Since Little Brother is saying that, this sister shall agree." Meng Zhi rubbed her lips in a seductive way. Long Ming felt his throat drying when he saw Meng Zhi''s slender leg, her sexy thigh peeking out from the slits of her dress.


    She slowly walked toward Long Ming as she ced both of her palms on Long Ming''s cheek. Long Ming shivered a bit as he could feel her breath.


    " Since Brother already talked about spring and flowers, I should also give you my sincerity, No?"


    Long Ming felt his heart thumping wildly. The eyes of Meng Zhi were truly beautiful, and her scent¡­It was captivating Long Ming''s soul.


    " I¡­ Sister Meng¡­"


    Long Ming stuttered as he took a step back and turned around to face the window.


    " Sister Meng, I am d that you appreciated my work. Therefore, I don''t think you need to¡­"


    " Of course, It''s been a looong while after all."


    Long Ming only saw a blur and the next moment, he was lying on the nearby bed. Meng Zhi was pinning him down under her as Long Ming could feel the weight of her two mountains on his chest.


    " Little brother, Let''s drown in the fragrance of blossom and spring."


    Long Ming a me ignited in his underbelly as he was already aroused. Meng Zhi noticed that as her smile turned broader.


    Long Ming was startled as he never expected such a turn of events. He thought he will just please Meng Zhi and escape.


    But who knew, Meng Zhi aroused even more than before?


    '' Ah, Shit¡­''

 Chapter 8: Meng Zhis Souvenir

    Chapter 8: Meng Zhi''s Souvenir


    However, before she could kiss Long Ming, the door suddenly opened.


    " Sister Meng, Ho-How can you do that!"


    Mu Qinglian was bbergasted when she saw the scene.


    " AAAA! How many times I told you not¡­pounce on the guests like that!"


    Mu Qinglian walked forward and dragged Meng Zhi away. Meng Zhi puffed her cheeks as she pouted in a cute way.


    " But Qingqing¡­ Long Ming said you guys are just friends. Won''t you let me borrow your friend for a night?"


    Long Ming was still trying his best to distract himself from looking at the two bonkers Meng Zhi pressing on his chest.


    '' Borrow for a night? What even in the¡­''


    An idea shed in Long Ming''s eyes as he whispered.


    " Well, Sister Meng, Today is certainly not the best day. Why not get onto the bed after we know each other better?"


    " But, Big Sister is feeling very lonely tonight."


    Meng Zhi sighed. Long Ming chuckled. " Miss Mu and I really have some important work. But topensate you¡­"


    His voice turned low as there was a tinge of mischief in it. " How about Sister Meng give me some sort of souvenir? Something that is very close and private of Sister Meng?"


    Meng Zhi''s eyes shed with a coy light as she got up, but she eventually gave a kiss on Long Ming''s cheek.


    " Little brother is sure very cheeky."


    Long Ming was still stunned as he rubbed his cheek. Did Meng Zhi just kiss him?


    '' Erm¡­ But it''s not¡­that bad.''


    Long Ming mumbled inwardly as he sat up on the bed. Meng Zhi''s clothes fluttered as she walked past Mu Qingn.


    " Little Brother, As you requested¡­ I have left a special souvenir for you. Hope you like it."


    Meng Zhi winked as she let out a mischievous giggle. Mu QInglian looked at Long Ming and hen, at Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi took the painting of Long Ming as she showed it to Mu Qinglian.


    " Well, Little Qingqing, your little man really drew a nice portrait. Make sure to treat him well."


    Mu Qinglian was startled when she saw the portrait of Meng Zhi.


    " Long Ming¡­ Did he make this portrait?" Mu Qinglian was truly surprised when she saw the painting. For the first time, she saw such a vivid, yet unique way of painting.


    Not to mention, the subtle aura and power she was feeling from the painting. Meng Zhi giggled when she saw Ling''er standing outside.


    " So, It is you who informed Qingqing, Hmm?" Meng Zhi''s eyes narrowed when she saw Ling''er.


    " Eeek!"


    Ling''er quickly hid as she was very afraid of Meng Zhi. Mu Qinglian sighed. " Sister Meng, Can you not tease Ling''er?"


    " Hehe, I just love to y with that little maid."


    Meng Zhi pursed her lips as she looked at Ling''er. Holding the painting, She walked away.


    " I won''t disturb your private time. Hehe, enjoy, Qingqing. As I said, you should also have some fun."


    Mu Qinglian blushed as she could clearly understand the meaning of Meng Zhi. Long Ming was still absent-minded from Meng Zhi''s light kiss.


    Then, he suddenly felt his left pocket was feeling somewhat stuffed. Long Ming was startled as he put his hand in it, taking out a soft piece of cloth.


    " This¡­"


    Long Ming finally realized the ''souvenir'' of Meng Zhi. It was acy, ck colored underwear.


    " Un¡­This¡­"


    Long Ming was amazed as he couldn''t help but squeeze it instinctively. Mm, The softness of the material¡­ could be improved.


    However, he suddenly froze when he felt the gaze of Ling''er and Mu Qinglian. Darting his look back and fro, Long Ming finally realized.


    " Wa-Wait! It is not what you think!"


    He hurriedly hid it in his pockets. But, It only made the matter worse.


    " Pervert¡­"


    Ling''er blushed as she looked away. Mu Qinglian''s face twitched as Long Ming could see the visible rage on her face. But she took a deep breath as she calmed down.


    " You did¡­ Well today."


    Mu Qinglian spoke in a calm voice. " But, You piqued everyone''s interest."


    Long Ming hurriedly replied. " Well, As long as Miss Mu gives me protection, I will have no worries."


    " En¡­"


    Mu Qinglian remained silent for a while as she turned around. " Ling''er, Take Long Ming ande with me. We are going back."


    " Yes, Young Lady."


    Mu Qinglian hurriedly left. Long Ming saw Ling''er and he couldn''t help but ask. " You called Miss Mu toe here and help me?"


    Ling''er hurriedly nodded. " Elder Meng is the one in charge of Eternal Spring Tower. She is¡­ very entric. I don''t like to¡­mingle with her."


    " Uh, Why?"


    Ling''er blushed when she heard Long Ming''s question. " She¡­ Ugh, She just teases me a bit too much."


    Long Ming just gave an ''Oh'' and remained silent. " Very well, Lead the way."


    " Yes."


    Long Ming boarded the flying carriage as they took off. Mu QInglian sat in a corner as she meditated, not talking with Long Ming. However, Long Ming was also distracted.


    [ Ding! Hostpleted Harem King of Nine Realm''s quest! Host gained a skill from Harem King of Nine Realms!]


    [ Host needs to wait for 6 hours to receive the skill]


    '' Well, Six hours is nothing at all. After tonight''s sleep, I will get the technique tomorrow,'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    During the journey, Long Ming sorted out the treasures in his inventory. He realized he still have some good items. He decided to use them the day after.


    When they arrived, Ling''er led Long Ming''s Mu Qinglian''s room. Long Ming''s expression turned strange when he saw that.


    " Uh¡­ I thought my room was different."


    Ling''er coughed lightly. " Uh¡­ Young Lady said that she isn''ting back tonight. So, You can sleep here."


    '' Uh¡­ Ok."


    Long Ming had many questions. But he swallowed them back. Changing his clothes, he fell on the bed. Long Ming rolled as he pressed his face on the pillow.


    '' Mm, Is this the smell of Mu Qinglian? Kinda¡­sweet?''


    Long Ming took out the underwear of Meng Zhi as he fell into deep thought.


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Realms suggests you relieve some heat with this perfect material]


    '' Bah! What a perverted bastard!''


    Long Ming snorted when he saw the message.


    However, instead of throwing it away, he naturally kept it carefully.


    Like¡­it would be a waste¡­no?


    After that, A thought came to Long Ming''s mind. He activated his Heavenly Comprehension Heart and started studying the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.


    '' This thing is with me from Earth. Sure, practicing this before cultivation will give me a boost, no?''


    Long Ming already had several novels to guess this thing. Many protagonists had a useless technique from their. However, it bes a super technique aftering to the Immortal World.


    Thanks to the environment of Immortal World and his Heavenly Comprehension Heart, practicing Shadow Dragon Breathing Method has be a piece of cake for him.


    He could feel the current of energy in it that is called Internal Energy in the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.


    The purpose of this method is to cultivate the mysterious Shadow Dragon energy within the body. The process goes from the inner body to the outer body, from in to out.


    Ironically, It is the entirely opposite method of immortal qi cultivation. While the cultivator first absorbs the qi of heaven and earth, this method squeezes body energy first before going outside.


    '' When you connect all the veins, you will listen to a dragon''s roar per cirction. When you hear nine dragons roar, you will finish the first cirction.''


    Long Ming mumbled as he sat cross-legged circting the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.


    Long Ming could feel his meridians expanding and contracting as the energy flowing through them. Slowly, the energy gathered in his dantian as he heard a low hum of the dragon.


    As time passed, due to his highprehension of the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method, Long Ming''s cirction became faster and faster.


    " One dragon¡­Two dragon¡­Eight dragon¡­"


    *ROAR ROAR*


    Long Ming''s eyes opened as he could feel the nine dragon roars from his body. With that, he sessfully reached the first stage of the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.


    '' Nine dragon roars for the first stage. 81 dragon roars for the ninth stage." Long Ming didn''t stop as he practiced the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.


    If any practitioner from Earth saw Long Ming, They would have died form shock. He was practicing at a terrifying pace. He did a month''s practice in a blink of an eye.


    After the fifth stage of the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method, His Nether Dragon Internal Energy already reached its maximum. After refining his meridians and blood, he started to focus on tempering his bone


    From the fifth stage onwards. He needed to perform several body movements while practicing the breathing method. As he climbed higher stages, the movements became faster and even moreplicated.


    However, strange enough, Long Ming could perform them without much difficulty.


    '' Dantian, Meridian, Organs, Blood, Bones, Marrows, Tendons, Flesh, and finally, Skin¡­''


    *ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR*


    Long Ming again sat in a lotus position as he could hear the continuous roarings of dragons from his body. When he heard 81 dragon roars, he felt his body was changing from its basic structure.


    However, Long Ming didn''t feel it was the end. He didn''t know how much time passed. But, he determined to reach an unprecedented height in Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.


    His vision darkened as he saw himself in an empty, dark space. Long Ming couldn''t see anything in the darkness.


    However, he could sense something giant moving. It was a strange feeling, but Long Ming could feel the presence of a gigantic dragon.


    Even though he saw nothing, touched nothing, heard nothing, or smelled nothing at all¡­ He knew it was there.


    The Great Nether Shadow Dragon!


    There wasn''t any movement, nor any dragon roar¡­But Long Ming understood the tenth stage of the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.


    '' It is called Aura. It represents¡­Concealment.''


    The morning rose as birds chirped while they flew across the sky. Mu Qinglian returned as she opened the door.


    " Are you awake yet?" Mu Qinglian shouted from behind the door. " I have something important to discuss with you."


    Mu Qinglian opened the door as she walked inside.


    " Good Morning, Miss Mu."


    Mu Qinglian heard the familiar voice of Long Ming.


    However the moment she heard, she couldn''t feel a spine chilling fear as she jumped, brandishing her sword at him.

 Chapter 9: Fragrant Blossom of Endless Spring Art

    Chapter 9: Fragrant Blossom of Endless Spring Art


    Long Ming also jumped when he saw the extreme reaction of Mu Qinglian. After realizing it is Long Ming, she lowered her sword.


    " So, It is you."


    Long Ming grimaced when he heard that. " Of course, It is me. Why do you have to give such an extreme reaction?"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she narrowed her eyes. " It''s just¡­ When I entered the room, I couldn''t feel your presence at all. It was like¡­You appeared out of nowhere."


    " Huh, How is that possible?" Long Ming scoffed.


    Mu Qinglian was a cultivator of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. How can she not sense him?


    Mu Qinglian rubbed her forehead. " My bad, I must have startled you."


    " Anyway, How are you feeling now?"


    Long Ming was a bit startled when he heard Mu Qinglian. " En, I feel fine. It''s just¡­ I can''t remember any past memory."


    He decided to pull this lie because Long Ming didn''t have any idea about this world at all. The Compendium of Primordial Chaos only gave a general overview o the world of cultivation. There wasn''t any detailed information written in it.


    " Well, I will be free after two hours. How about youe with me to sightsee?"


    " Hmm?"


    Long Ming was startled when he heard the proposal of Mu Qinglian. Compared to yesterday, she looked less hostile.


    " Don''t think much. It''s just you helped me yesterday. So, I am helping you a bit."


    Long Ming rubbed his eyes as he looked at Mu Qinglian. Did she just blush lightly?


    " Uh, Sure. Why not?"


    At that moment, Ling''er brought breakfast and ced it on the table. Suddenly, Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming, her expression turned strange.


    " You¡­ You look different again today."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming rubbed under his nose as he looked at his own body. He could naturally see the change in his body.


    Unlike days before, his lean body is now more buffed and robust thanks to the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method. Long Ming could feel his body is simply bing more enhanced, ten times more than a peak athlete.


    As Long Ming ate breakfast with Mu Qinglian, he felt streams of energy slowly going inside his body. Long Ming couldn''t help but be startled a bit.


    " This¡­ Is this True Qi?" Long Ming asked.


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she spoke. " Of course. The food you are eating is made up of spirit crops and the meat of spirit beasts. The dishes are filled with the natural True Qi, beneficial for cultivators."


    Long Ming nodded as he hurriedly ate. Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but look at Long Ming with interest.


    " I remember when you came here, you felt weak like a chicken. But now, It is hard for me to gauge your aura. Also, What happened yesterday? How did you trigger the dao phenomenon?"


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. " Well, The key to opening that stone tablet was toprehend a technique to its extreme. It''s not that hard."


    Mu Qinglian shook her head. " Even so, Not many techniques can show such spectacle. Which technique you practiced actually?"


    " Would you believe it is Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth?"


    " Haha, What a good joke." Mu QInglian couldn''t help but chuckle. " Although it can be called the oldest cultivation technique, even ordinary mortals wouldn''t practice it. How can it show such a scene?"


    Long Ming only sipped the soup as he remained silent. Mu Qinglian was amused as she didn''t ask much. She handed a bottle to Long Ming.


    " Here, The Purple Elixir. Your prize."


    Long Ming couldn''t help but moved when he saw that. Judging from everyone''s expression, he could feel that it is an amazing treasure. However, Mu Qinglian gave him without any greed.


    " Don''t look at me like that. I already took half of it."


    Long Ming''s face froze when he heard the next sentence.


    '' Well, At least she gave me half.''


    Long Ming patted his heart as he took the bottle. Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she exined.


    " This is a rare natural treasure. If you are a low-rank cultivator, you can just ingest it directly and it will improve your body and foundation. However, if you can make medicinal pills out of it, It can even help a cultivator of my stage also."


    " I see, I understand what you mean." Long Ming nodded. After a moment of silence, Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she finally spoke.


    " Um¡­ The painting of Meng Zhi was pretty good. You really made it, huh?"


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as he understood everything. " Ah, Of course. Miss Mu, I was also thinking of gifting you one. However, To create a masterpiece, I would need some time after all."


    " Ah! It''s not like I am asking anything." Mu Qinglian blushed as she answered.


    Mu Qinglian got up and turned around. " I will be back in two hours. After that, We will tour the Fragrant Yin Valley."


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Realm''s reward arrived! Host gets Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art]


    '' Well, That''s an impressive technique. Very well, Let me study it.''


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Comprehension Heart activated as he sat cross legged, studying the technique.


    In this world, The techniques were divided as True Grade, Mystic Techniques, Earth grade, Sky grade Techniques, Royal ss Techniques, Imperial Techniques.


    Not to mention, There are countless other techniques called Secret Arts which are powerful techniques in their own league. However, Long Ming couldn''t determine which type of technique the Fragrant Blossom of Endless Spring Art is.


    Long Ming could already feel the True Qi of the world. So, when the technique appeared in his mind, he couldn''t help but get surprised.


    It wasn''t a cultivation technique at all. It was more like a Secret Art. The more he understood the technique, the stranger his face became.


    This technique can be considered as a powerful technique. However, the energy the technique consumes isn''t True Qi at all.


    '' To cultivate this technique, I will be needing the Fragrant Yin energy from women. As for how to get this energy¡­''


    '' As long as the woman is close to you and shows a favorable impression, it will gather the Fragrant Yin energy in your dantian.''


    After Mu Qinglian left, Long Ming looked at Ling''er. She is the perfect material right here, to safely court death.


    " Well, Miss Ling''er, Weren''t you saying I was too confident yesterday?"


    Ling''er suddenly blushed as Long Ming came close to her. He suddenly stood right before her, only at a distance of a few centimeters. Her face flushed red when she saw Long Ming''s handsome appearance.


    " I¡­ I was wrong¡­"


    Ling''er stuttered as she tried to look away. Long Ming chuckled as he raised the chin of Ling''er and made her look at him.


    " Next time¡­ I will punish you in a different way, alright?"


    " Ahh!"


    Ling''er blushed as she turned and walked away hurriedly, clearly flustered. Long Ming couldn''t help butugh, but he sighed in his heart.


    [ Ding! Host courted death and survived! Host gets the Recipe Book of Cooking God]


    " Hmm? First, The Knife of Cooking God, Now this¡­" Long Ming was amused as he saw the reward.


    However, the thing made him more amazed that a string of pink colored light shot from Ling''er as it entered Long Ming''s body.


    '' I need to gather the Fragrant Yin Qi and condense it into petals in my dantian. Then, I will be able to use these petals in battle."


    Long Ming saw the pink energy condensed into a small grain of pink rice. It looks like his n is working.


    Long Ming chased after Ling''er.


    " Ling''er, Wait!"


    Ling''er stopped when Long Ming called her from behind. Long Ming suddenly stood beside her as they were in the courtyard.


    " Well, Why do you get flustered so easily? It is not like I am going to eat you." Long Ming spoke. " How about you tell me some general things about here?"


    Ling''er nodded.


    " Currently, We are in the Southern Pearl Domain. This is Eastern Province''s Holy Qilin Empire. The Fragrant Yin Valley is one of the Five Major powerhouses here."


    " As you can see, Four Season Valley mostly admits female disciples. Many say we follow an unorthodox path of cultivation, But I don''t think so."


    " In fact, Our Sect is very ancient. Its history stretches back to tens of thousands of years ago. Once upon a time, I heard the Entire Holy Qilin Empire used to be under Four Season Valley. However, Our sect gradually declined."


    " Not to mention, Our techniques are most suitable for women. Our sect also has many businesses like Eternal Spring Tower. We also earn money from crafting various clothes and pill alchemy."


    Long Ming nodded as a careful idea came to his mind. " Ling''er knows so many things. Hehe, You got both beauty and brain."


    Ling''er blushed when she heard Long Ming. Long Ming could see the string of Fragrant Yin Qi was increasing. The small pink grain of rice increased in its size as it absorbed the Fragrant Yin Qi from Ling''er.


    Long Ming decided to increase the pace as he suddenly held the hands of Ling''er.


    " Actually, I wish to thank Ling''er. Even if you are instructed by Mu Qinglian, You are taking care of me. I am so grateful."


    " I¡­ I am d that Young Master Long is feeling good." Ling''er felt her heart thumping wildly when she heard Long Ming''s sweet voice. Long Mng neared his face toward Ling''er as he whispered.


    " Why don''t youe to the room in the evening? I wrote a beautiful poem¡­Just for you."


    Long Ming couldn''t help but think if it was an illusion or not, but he felt like smoke wasing out from Ling''er face as she froze.


    Her face was like a tomato Ling''er felt she was going to explode.


    " I¡­ I¡­ Young Master¡­ I think I remember some work. I have to go."


    Ling''er turned around as a flying sword appeared beneath her. She rode the sword as she tried to escape.


    " Ling''er! Don''t forget to bring me some essential items!" Long Ming shouted loudly. However, Ling''er was very quick as she escaped hurriedly.


    However, At that moment, Long Ming felt arge wave of Fragrant Yin qi enter his body as the pink grain of rice turned into a small petal of a flower.


    Long Ming recited the Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art as he started to refine the pink petal as felt a gush of energy throughout his body.


    He raised his palms as he made a swift motion.


    " Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm!"


    Note: The Fragrant Yin Valley has been changed into Four Seasons Valley

 Chapter 10: Why This Testing Orb Isnt Exploding?

    Chapter 10: Why This Testing Orb Isn''t Exploding?


    Currently, Long Ming didn''t have any sort of cultivation technique or battle arts of Immortal World.


    However, He noticed his status changed after cultivating the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method to the maximum. The originally sealed techniques were now unsealed.


    '' Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm is a powerful martial art. Using the soft Yin energy, One can use the vibration to destroy an enemy from within.'' Long Ming took a deep breath as he got into the stance.


    These types of techniques were helpful when the opponent got a powerful defense. If you can''t break the shell of a turtle, then crush its flesh from the inside.


    Long Ming didn''t know how powerful Earth''s martial art woulld be in Immortal World. However, since he got no alternative, he only practiced the things he got.


    '' The use of the Fragrant Yin Petal is to store the Fragrant Yin Qi and empower my current technique. So, If I draw the Fragrant Yin Qi to empower this technique, then¡­"


    Long Ming''s palm moved as he mmed his palm on a nearby small boulder. The boulder trembled as Long Ming could feel a strange vibration throughout his hand.


    " Ouch!"


    Long Ming felt his face twitching as he felt a light pain from his palm. However, the boulder lookedthe same as before.


    But, Long Ming noticed that the amount of Fragrant Yin Qi in the Fragrant Yin Petal decreased considerably. Long Ming pondered as he saw the rock.


    " It failed?" Long Ming mumbled as he tried to roll the boulder.


    *CRACK CRACK!*


    With a light push, Long Ming was startled when he saw the boulder cracking up. When it shattered, Long Ming looked at the broken piece carefully.


    The boulder''s outer surface looked smooth and wless as before. However, when Long Ming saw its inner parts, he could see it was shattered into little beads. One could see that the boulder crumbled from inside.


    " Damn! Now that is something!"


    Long Ming smacked his lips as he saw the result. He was satisfied form the result. He also understood that his actions would consume the previously stored Fragrant Yin Qi.


    " But, What if I try using it with my True Qi?"


    Although Long Ming didn''t have any cultivation technique, he could circte a bit of True Qi in his body. He closed his eyes as he circted the True Qi in his body.


    After that, He used the Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm. The result was almost the same. But Long Ming could determined that the Fragrant Yin Qi was better.


    '' So, Till I get a cultivation technique, I should be practicing the Fragrant Blossom of Endless Spring Art.'' Long Ming determined.


    After that, He continued to practice his Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm and Shadow Dragon Steps.


    The Shadow Dragon Steps are a sort of agility technique that makes one''s presence fainter and speed faster. One could say it was a tailor made technique for assassins.


    As Long Ming immersed himself in practice, Mu Qinglian and Ling''er arrived. Mu Qinglian raised her brows when she saw Long Ming practicing in the courtyard.


    Although she didn''t know what sort of technique Long Ming was practicing, she could see his moves were sharp and wless. It was simple yet effective.


    " Ah, Miss Mu, You arrived."


    Long Ming wiped his sweat as he looked at her. Mu Qinglian nodded as she beckoned Long Ming. He boarded the flying carriage with them as the carriage flew across the sky.


    " Well, I think Ling''er already told a bit about our Four Seasons Valley?" Mu Qinglian asked.


    " Currently, We are going to the main pavilion of Four Seasons Valley. Remember to stay low and not offend anyone."


    " Well, Of course. I won''t let Fairy Mu''s name get ruined."


    Long Ming smiled. Mu Qinglian blushed a bit when she heard that.


    Long Ming was surprised when she saw a string of Fragrant Yin Qi entering his body from Mu Qinglian. Moreover, It was extremely pure. Even a slight amount already filled his Fragrant Yin Petal. It even grew a bit more.


    '' Does that mean the more beautiful and powerful the female, the more powerful the Fragrant Yin Qi will be?'' Long Ming assumed.


    '' But, Isn''t this kinda weird¡­ Why did Mu Qinglian get such feelings for me?" Long Ming rubbed his cheeks as he thought inwardly.


    '' Could it be¡­ I already charmed thisdy?''


    '' Damn, This Young Master got a peerless rizz after all.'' Long Ming flicked his hair as he couldn''t help butugh in his heart.


    ''" Were you thinking anything weird?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as her eyes narrowed.


    " No, Nothing at all." Long Ming hurriedly spoke. Long Ming saw outside as he could feel the speed of the flying carriage.


    He had to admit, even though those flying beasts were carrying it, it was very smooth and fast at the same time.


    " Actually, Where are we going?"


    " Something fun?" Mu Qinglian chuckled lightly as she rubbed her chin. Soon, The carriage descended, and they all got off at the pavilion.


    " As you know, Almost 90% of disciples of Four Season Valley are female. As for the remaining 10% male poption, only a few of them are powerful. The rest of them are for various chores."


    Mu Qinglian exined as she asked Long Ming to follow her. For the first time, Long Ming looked at his surroundings with awe.


    There are green mountains and lush gardens everywhere. Not to mention, the light azure colored stone path looked very clean and beautiful.


    The surrounding floating buildings were guarded by powerful cultivators. Not to mention, he could see the faint barrier around them.


    But the most important thing here¡­was naturally the flock of beautiful women.


    Although Mu Qinglian was still the most beautiful one here, Long Ming couldn''t help but eye the passing girls. Each of them could easily be a top model on Earth.


    But, the girls also sneak peeks at Long Ming as he was simply too handsome and excluding a divine charm.


    " Four Season Valley must be a man''s dream." Long Ming muttered.


    Mu Qinglian took Long Ming to a building and Long Ming was shocked. Although the building looked majestic from the outside, it looked even more from the inside.


    Long Ming could see the inside of the building wasrge as a football field. It was way bigger than it looked from the outside. Long Ming guessed that they probably used some Spatial Formations.


    " This¡­ Such a magnificent ce."


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he followed Mu Qinglian. " Miss Mu, Where are we going?"


    " Just a little testing." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    Soon, They arrived at a ce. A middle ageddy was dozing off as Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but cough.


    " Saintess of Four Seasons Valley is with a young man? It will certainly create an upheaval if people hear about this."


    Mu Qinglian chuckled when she heard thedy. " Since when I got affected by people''s opinion, Elder Cai?"


    Elder Cai opened her eyes as sheughed. Long Ming could feel that Elder Cai must be a beauty of her own generation. Even though she looked aged now, Long Ming could feel a charm around her.


    But Long Ming also knew an Elder in such ces was the most terrifying person. So, He had to remain respectful to Elder Cai to avoid any unnecessary trouble.


    " Speak, Why you came here? Shouldn''t you be getting ready for Imperial Tournament?" Elder Cai asked.


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as he understood. Long Ming bowed as he cupped his fist.


    " Long Ming greets Elder Cai. I heard many disciples praising your name."


    " Hoho, Boy, You got quite a glib tongue." Elder Cai chuckled. " Most of the disciples don''t even talk with me. And you say they were praising me?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he kept his head lowered. Elder Cai rubbed her chin as she looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " You wish to test him?"


    " Yes."


    Elder Cai got up and stretched her body. " Well, I don''t have much to do anyway. Long Ming, is it?"


    Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Long Ming. " What an interesting fellow. Your cultivation base¡­ I can only see a hazy fog."


    " This is just a cheap trick, Elder Cai." Long Ming spoke politely.


    " Here, ce your palm on this orb and channel a bit of energy." Elder Cai spoke.


    Long Ming understood the test immediately.


    Isn''t this the test where one could test one''s cultivation aptitude? Most of the time, the protagonist shows low results.


    But then, they explode the orb one after another, giving face ps to all those who looked him down.


    Long Ming nodded as he ced his palm on the orb.


    '' Explode! Explode the orb!''


    '' Even if you don''t explode, give me at least the top attribute!''


    The crystal orb started to glow with light as Long Ming channeled his True Qi in it. Soon, The orb started to glow with white light.


    It was the purest possible white light.


    " This¡­ White light?"


    Elder Cai was surprised. Even Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but rib her eyes.


    " White light? Is it that amazing?"


    Long Ming asked in an excited tone. Elder Caiughed.


    " Indeed, You can say it is amazing" Elder Cai nodded.


    " Across the years, It is the worst cultivation aptitude I saw."


    Long Ming''s smiling face turned stiff when he heard Elder Cai. " Wo-Worst? Are you sure?"


    Both Mu Qinglian and Elder Cai nodded. " White is the worst color."


    Both Mu Qinglian and Long Ming were shocked. Mu Qinglian was shocked because it was a stark contrast to his performance in the Literary Meeting.


    How can Long Ming produce such Dao Phenomenon if his cultivation aptitude is worst?


    However, Mu Qinglian knew that the testing orb didn''t malfunctioned. So, she thought of another idea.


    " Elder Cai, This is just an ordinary test, right? I know there are many other tests." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    Long Ming was already feeling bitter when he saw the result. However, Mu Qinglian''s words gave him a bit of hope.


    Elder Cai raised her brows. " This is the simplest and easiest test. Are you sure he can do the harder ones?"


    " Well, We don''tck time anyway, right?"


    However, at that moment, An olddy came to the pavilion with an angry face.


    Long Ming got scared when he saw what the olddy was carrying.


    " Wow¡­such size¡­"


    What could be the massive thing...heh

 Chapter 11: Four Seasons

    Chapter 11: Four Seasons


    " Cai Ling, What kind of shit disciples you sentst time! They couldn''t help me at all!"


    The old woman mmed a monster on the floor as she looked at Elder Cai with a cold gaze.


    Long Ming took a sharp breath when he saw the monster''s corpse on the ground. It was giant as a camel. However, it was also bulky. It was a giant blue colored boar with two gigantic teeth along with with a horn on its forehead.


    " Wow, you got a Tri Horn Blue Demon Boar?" Elder Cai was surprised when she saw the beast.


    " So, What? No disciples could help me to manage these beasts. I asked them to debone these beasts and take off their skin. But no, they are all just useless hoes."


    Elder Cai shook her head. " Elder Shi, You know our sect is currentlycking manpower."


    " Well, It''s a women majority sect anyway¡­"


    Long Ming replied instinctively. Mu Qinglian, Elder Cai, and Elder Shi looked at him with a strange faces.


    '' Oh fuck! I forgot this isn''t inte¡­''


    " Ahem, Elder Shi, Forgive him. He is new here. So, I hope you will show leniency." Mu Qinglian coughed lightly as she spoke.


    Elder Shi sighed as she nodded. " Well, I have to admit. Your friend got quite an appearance. Qinglian, Is he your boy toy?"


    " Elder Shi! How can you say that!"


    Mu Qinglian blushed when she heard that. Long Ming couldn''t help but stare at them with awe.


    Why is everyone thinking Mu Qinglian got a boy toy? Like, He knows he looks handsome. But why a boy toy, Like what the hell?


    [ Ding! Host courted death and escaped sessfully! Host gets a Random Equipment Card!]


    " Then what should I do, Cai Ling? I am also busy! I need to make the special clothes after all."


    " Well, Cleaning the beast''s corpse and cleaning skills are hard, you know?"


    Long Ming understood as an idea shed in his mind. " Miss Mu, What kind of thing she was asking?"


    " Elder Shi belongs to the clothes and armory department. She takes the materials like beast skins, fur, and other items to make clothes. However, you see, taking the skin off a beast and deboning is a very tedious task."


    " Ordinary disciples can''t do it properly. And those with experience aren''t here. So, Elder Shi was feeling burdensome."


    " Well, What if I help?" Long Ming suddenly proposed. Elder Shi looked at Long Ming with curious eyes. " You? Are you sure?"


    " One can always try, no?" Long Ming smiled as he took out the Cooking God''s Knife from the inventory. A long chef knife appeared in his hand.


    The knife gave out a silver shine as the hilt was perfectly white with golden veins.


    " Wow, That''s a very sharp knife." Elder Shi''s eyes squinted as Long Ming started to walk toward the corpse.


    '' Hope this work as the instructions.'' Long Ming mumbled as he raised his hands. His True Qi revolved as it got sucked by the knife.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt he could see the inside of the beast''s body, the bones, the intestines, the flesh, everything was before Long Ming''s eyes.


    His True Qi rumbled as the knife stabbed inside the beast''s corpse.


    *KRRRRR*


    With a swift move, Long Ming made the first cut. Elder Shi nodded. " En,, correct spot."


    Long Ming appeared to be calm, but his back was drenched in sweat. Just one cut and his True Qi got depletedpletely. However, Long Ming couldn''t stop now.


    '' Huh? My Fragrant Yin Qi¡­ Why there is so much?''


    Long Ming was startled. He saw the Fragrant Yin Petal already growrger than a thumb as it was shimmering with Fragrant Yin Qi.


    Long Ming realized that after Mu Qinglian, he also got quite some amount from the girls passing by.


    '' Wait a second¡­ Four Season Valley is a girl''s sect. Isn''t that perfect cultivation ground for Fragrant Blossom of Endless Spring Art?''


    Long Ming looked upward as he silently gave a thumbs up to Harem King of Nine Realms. The Fragrant Yin Qi buzzed as the knife shone with a pink light.


    *SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH*


    Elder Shi''s eyes widened when she saw Long Ming slicing the corpse. The knife moved elegantly as his movement became faster and faster.


    Long Ming didn''t damage the skin as he was able to peel it off cleanly. After that, he deboned the meat and separated the organs. In a short while


    The beast''s corpse was cleaned off.


    " This¡­ Marvelous!"


    Elder Shi couldn''t help but praise Long Ming. " You really got a skill, Boy. Why don''t youe with me and help me?"


    " Well, I am d Elder Shi liked it." Long Ming cupped his fist. He saw the Fragrant Yin Petal was depleted by ?. However, there was a sudden surge of Fragrant Yin Qi from Mu Qinglian and Elder Shi, filling it again.


    Mu Qinglina spoke. " Elder Shi, Long Ming is my guest. I don''t think he will be able to work under you permanently."


    Elder Shi nodded. " I know. But you can stille to help me asionally, no?"


    " I would be d to help you, Elder Shi." Long Ming replied.


    " Originally, I brought this beast here to test for talented disciples who could help me. I guess I found one." Elder Shiughed. " I only need to fur. As for the bones and meat, take this as a gift."


    " This demon beast is at the rank of Golden Core Realm. It''s taste pretty good and it is beneficial for cultivation. Long Ming, you should be thankful to Elder Shi." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    " No need, If you want to thank me,e and help me asionally. I also need some rest after all." Elder Shi waved her hands.


    After Elder Shi left, Elder Cai looked at Long Ming with a new expression. " Well, Even if your cultivation aptitude is low, you aren''t talentless at all. Very well,e with me. The next test is inside."


    The trio walked inside as they all stood in front of a giant stone b. It looked like a giant stone tablet with numerous runes on it.


    " As you can see, This is our Ancestral Tablet. The Progenitor of Four Season Valley sealed all hisprehension inside this tablet. Almost all of our sect''s technique originated from this."


    " However, If even a cultivator looks at this for long, they will get dizzy and their soul will be impacted in a negative way." Elder Cai exined.


    " But we have turned it into a testing ce. It will test yourprehension aptitude. With powerfulprehension, you will be able to generate powerful phenomenon."


    " If you manage to get a slight response, it would be great." Elder Cai added. " So, You want to take this test?"


    Long Ming''s lips curled as he nodded. Even if he did shit in thest test, he was pretty confident regarding this one.


    The stone tablet was filled with various runes making it look majestic. There was something powerful and oppressive about its aura.


    Long Ming sat in front of it as he activated his Heavenly Comprehension Heart.


    Suddenly, his vision faded as he saw he was standing in an empty ce. The only thing there was the stone tablet.


    The runes moved as they jumped out from the stone tablet, revolving around Long Ming. Soon, theplicated runes became simplified more and more as they started to swirl around him.


    Long Ming could various images shing in front of him. Long Ming could see a man standing in a giant garden.


    The man raised his hand as a gigantic mountain split apart, creating a giant valley. His body moved as the sky changed.


    The summer sun gave off scorching heat but Long Ming also see snow falling from the sky. The gentle spring wind blew as the big trees dropped their dried leaves.


    Outside, Mu Qinglian and Elder Cai became rmed when they saw the stone tablet''s rune turning bright. The rune swirled around Long Ming as it turned into four streams of light.


    " This¡­ This! Four Seasons Enlightenment!" Elder Cai took a sharp breath as she saw the phenomenon.


    One part turned into Summer, giving off heat. The next was Autumn, symbolizing the change. The snow fell as the Winter appeared. Then birds chirped as a gentle wind blew, signifying the Spring.


    The phenomenon turned into a bright pir of light as it shot toward the sky. Everyone could feel the changes in the atmosphere in the Four Seasons Valley.


    Everyone walked outside as they saw the sky over the valley turned colorful. They could feel their cultivation resonating with it.


    In a dark ce, a pair of eyes opened as it looked above. The eyes were like emeralds, with an unusual shine. Such beautiful eyes, it can hook a man''s soul right away.


    " What a phenomenon. Has Mu Qinglian awakened her physique?"


    Long Ming could only see four words floating in front of him. Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring.


    Refining the body with Summer, the change of energy in Autumn. The solitude of Winter is a weapon and path of Spring to transcend.


    The four words, the four seasons, all turned into a vortex of colorful light and covered Long Ming.


    Long Ming felt his soul was getting crushed as numerous information poured into his mind. After a while, the pain lessened as he felt refreshed. Long Ming felt like a new strength coursing in his body.


    He slowly opened his eyes as the Heavenly Comprehension Heart and Deste Immortal Aura were on full disy. He stood up as four colored qi swirled around his body.


    " Huh? What are you all doing here?"


    Long Ming was startled when he saw the huge crowd around him. He could see Mu Qinglian and Elder Cai. Also, the hoard of beautiful girls who were looking at Long Ming with awe.


    " This¡­"


    Long Ming adjusted his expression as he put a smile on his face. Cupping his fist, he bowed,


    " Thank you, Elder Cai, for this opportunity. Can you tell me how my test went?"

 Chapter 12: Gathering Fragrant Yin Qi

    Chapter 12: Gathering Fragrant Yin Qi


    " Wahh! Who is that handsome young man?"


    " I heard Sister Mu brought him. Could it be, she is finally opening up?"


    " Huhuhu, He is certainly a charmer. Didn''t you see the phenomenon he created?"


    Elder Cai was stunned as she coughed a bit. " Well, Yourprehension¡­ How should I say?"


    " Very good?" Long Ming was baffled. " Is that so?"


    He felt it would be at least ''Excellent'' if not ''One in a thousand-year genius''.


    " Well, What is the ruckus here? What exactly happened?"


    Long Ming saw a middle-aged woman descending from the sky as she looked at everyone with a cold gaze. Elder Cai looked at her as she shrugged.


    " Nothing much. Someone was taking theprehension test and triggered the Four Seasons Enlightenment."


    " What? Four Seasons Enlightenment?" The middle aged woman was surprised as her eyes turned wide.


    " Impossible! No one has triggered that phenomenon across thousands of years."


    " What? I am not bored enough to y with you, Li Jie." Elder Cai shrugged.


    " Hmph, This is simply absurd. As far as I know, only those who have studied our Sect''s core teaching can interact with Ancestral Tablet. This youngster managed to interact with it. There must be something fishy there."


    Long Ming couldn''t help but frown when he heard that woman. He felt like she was deliberately picking on him. Mu Qinglian cupped her fist as she looked at the woman.


    " Elder Li, I can assure you that Long Ming didn''t study any of our sect''s teaching. Hisprehension power was enough to resonate with the Ancestral Tablet."


    " That''s not something you can decide, Qinglian." Elder Li snorted. " I must take this brat for interrogation."


    Elder Cai frowned. " Li Jie, Is this what our sect does to those who came to test their aptitude? Hah, Are you still carrying a grudge that your disciples weren''t able to receive the inheritance and Qinglian did?"


    " Yo-You!!"


    Elder Li pointed at Elder Cai as she trembled in rage. Elder Cai stood before Long Ming as she snorted. " As long as I am here, I will see who will take him away."


    " Hmph, Good! Very good!"


    Elder Li snorted as she turned around and flew away. Long Ming already identified her in his enemy list.


    '' Old hag, I hope you don''t cross me in the future. Else, I will certainly deal with you.'' Long Ming mumbled inwardly.


    [ Ding! Host escaped the clutches of death! Host gets a Random Skill Box!]


    " Anway, Long Ming¡­You are someone very peculiar person. Your cultivation aptitude is bad. But, yourprehension power is shockingly high. I am in a dilemma. What should I do?"


    As Elder Cai sighed, her expression changed as she froze. Closing her eyes for a while,s he opened and smiled at Long Ming.


    " Well, It looks like your luck is pretty good. You are going to take another test. If you pass, then you will be admitted to our sect. If not¡­I can''t do much."


    Long Ming scratched his head. " Well, I will certainly do my best."


    " Very well, You can go now. About the test, you will know soon. As for Mu Qinglian¡­ Sect Master is calling you."


    Mu Qinglian was startled. " What? Really? I guess I have to go then."


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian. " Well, I think you should go. Ling''er will guide me back."


    " Are you sure?"


    Long Ming smiled as he nodded. Mu Qinglian gave a look to Long Ming as she took her flying sword and flew away.


    Long Ming cupped his fist as he gave a light bow. " I guess everyone enjoyed the scene. But now, I shall be taking my leave. Farewell, Beautiful sisters."


    " Kyaa~"


    " Farewell, little brother!"


    Long Ming grinned as he saw a dozen strings of Fragrant Yin Qi gathering in his body. Although the individual amount is low, Long Ming got the Fragrant Yin Qi inrge quantities.


    '' I guess being a yboy isn''t that bad.''


    Long Ming giggled. " Ling''er, Will you show me around?"


    Ling''er nodded. " Yes, Young Master. Come with me¡­"


    However, as they walked a bit ahead, Long Ming could smell a familiar fragrance as he got hugged from behind.


    " Huhuhu, I didn''t know I would be lucky enough to meet Little Brother today. Such a fate."


    Long Ming shivered as he recognized the voice. It was Meng Zhi.


    " Damn it, What is this vixen doing here?'' Long Ming grimaced in his heart. However, He stered a smile on his face.


    " I was wondering about such a familiar fragrance. So, It was you, Big Sister Meng. Howe you are here? Weren''t you managing the Eternal Spring Tower?"


    " Well, There was some problem. So, I had toe here." Meng Zhi sighed. Ling''er was startled as she hurriedly backed away a dozen steps.


    " Huhuhu, Little Ling''er, Am I that frightening?" Meng Zhi grinned. She was still hugging Long Ming.


    ''" Um¡­Big sister Meng Zhi¡­"


    Long Ming sweated as he could feel the two soft mountains pressing on his back. Men Zhi''s eyes narrowed as she hugged Long Ming tighter, rubbing her chest on his back.


    " What is it, Little Brother? You feeling good?"


    " Uh¡­Big Sister Meng, Can you not tease me?" Long Ming grimaced. It was getting hard to control his erection.


    " Hehe, You are so cute." Meng Zhi let him go as she rubbed her lips. " I actually heard what you did. Triggering such Dao Phenonemon, I knew you are extraordinary indeed."


    " You are overpraising me, Big Sister." Long Ming chuckled. " Well, But still, Why are you here? What sort of problem are you facing now?"


    Meng Zhi sighed. " You know Blissful Heaven Temple?"


    Long Ming nodded. " I know them. That Mo Zhu from Blissful Heaven Temple after all."


    " Hmph, Those cheap bastards." Meng Zhi snorted. " You know that Eternal Spring Tower is one of the major businesses of Four Season Valley, right? It earns us over 500,000 Spirit Stones per year."


    Long Ming nodded as he could understand. Even among cultivators, a ce like Eternal Spring Tower is definitely heavily sought after. Which cultivator won''t spend money on brothels and entertainment?


    " However, Blissful Heaven Temple has been our rival for the past thousand years. Not only they grew up at a tremendous pace, but now, they also trying to take over Four Season Valley''s businesses."


    " How so?" Long Ming asked.


    " As you know, There is still arge difference between the power of sects and families and normal people are pretty huge. Those cheap bastards, they are alluring customers to their brothel in the name of dual cultivation."


    " Whoa? That''s kinda¡­sharp business tactics." Long Ming couldn''t help but reply.


    " Of course, Many men going there because¡­Why won''t they bang disciples of a big sect? Not to mention, the allure of dual cultivation is also attractive." Meng Zhi snorted.


    " Not to mention, the dual cultivation is a sham. The customer just feels refreshed afterward and they think their cultivation base increased slightly."


    Long Ming nodded. " I understand. So, What are you going to do?"


    " What can I do? I was going to ask Sect Master''s opinion. Honestly, I don''t want to make our sect disciples into whores."


    Long Ming''s gaze turned strange. Meng Zhi looked at him as she smiled. " Sounds pretty hypocrite, isn''t it?"


    " Well, First of all, Our Eternal Spring Tower works differently. Only our girl can choose customers, not the other way around. And most of our girls only sell their skills, not their bodies."


    " We pick up poor girls and give them food, clothing, shelter, and skill. In return, they work for us. In this world, it is pretty humane, isn''t it?"


    Long Ming nodded in agreement. In thiswless world where only strength rules, Eternal Spring Tower isn''t that bad.


    Meng Zhi sighed. " But if things go like this¡­Our Eternal Spring Tower will suffer. Not to mention, The Imperial Tournament and Flower Boat Festival are just 2 weeks away. I don''t know what to do."


    Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at Meng Zhi. " Well, I understand your situation. Sister Meng, Perhaps¡­ I have some way that would help you."


    " Oh, Is that so? Meng Zhi''s eyes widened. " I would like to hear Little Brother''s opinion."


    " Hehe, Not so fast, Big Sis Meng." Long Ming chuckled. " I need to inspect the situation first. After I visit the Eternal Spring Tower tomorrow, I will tell you, alright?"


    " Well, I shall be waiting for you then." Meng Zhi smiled. Suddenly, she came close as Long Ming froze. He could feel her hot breath on her ear.


    " Mm, I wonder if Little Brother liked my giftst night? I wonder if you did some *inappropriate* things with it?"


    However, This time, Long Ming didn''t back away.


    He chuckled. " Well, Even if I did, I don''t think Big Sister Meng will mind, right?"


    His tone turned even more amorous.


    " I mean¡­perhaps that''s what you are also anticipating."


    Meng Zhi was startled when she heard Long Ming. She smacked her lips as a smirk appeared on her face. She gently licked Long Ming''s earlobes before letting him go.


    " Aww, Little brother is so bad today. You actually bullied your Big Sister. It seems you need some punishment, Ah." Meng Zhi licked her lips seductively.


    " But, next time. Don''t forget, I will be waiting for you in Eternal Spring Tower."


    Long Ming only smiled as he saw Meng Zhi flying away. A burst of pink qi shot out from her body it entered Long Ming''s body. He could feel the quantity and the quality, both are very good.


    " Well, Ling''er, I think you cane out." Long Ming sighed as he looked at the bush. Ling''er head peeked out as she looked around.


    " Elder Meng left? Whew, Young Master. Let''s go, I don''t want to meet her."


    " Whoa? Wai-"


    Long Ming tried to say something. But, Ling''er held him as she became a blur. With her explosive speed, she disappeared along with Long Ming.


    As Long Ming returned to Mu Qinglian''s courtyard, he sat on her bed as he entered a meditative position.


    '' No one seems to know...But I got many amazing things from the Ancestral Tablet.''

 Chapter 13: Heavenly Urn of Frozen Flame

    Chapter 13: Heavenly Urn of Frozen me


    Long Ming calmed his mind as he searched through his memory. He was shocked as he could find arge amount of new information in his head.


    " Four Seasons Grand Swordy, Azure Heaven Nine Revolutions, Scarlet Jade Body Scripture, Storm Hawk Cloud Traversing Art¡­" Long Ming mumbled as these techniques appeared in his heart.


    When heprehended the runes on the Ancestral Tablet, he saw many fragmented scenes. Those looked like the memories of the stone tablet.


    '' I don''t doubt these techniques. Damn it, It looks like I finally got some sort of inheritance.'' Long Ming became excited as he clenched his fists tightly.


    After all this time, He finally have something he could rely on. Among all of them, Azure Heaven Nine Revolution Art was a cultivation method.


    What is more, It is a top Imperial Grade Qi cultivation technique!


    Long Ming calmed his heart as he sat cross legged.


    '' I have alreadyprehended the technique. All that remains are implementation.'' Long Ming rubbed his palm as he started understanding the Azure Heaven Nine Revolutions.


    " Gather the Qi at Eastern Gate Point and form a spiral. Use the spiral and gather the Qi."


    It was written that the creator of this technique saw a fish jumping in the great sea. The fish galloped nine times in total. Each was fiercer than before.


    However, as it jumped the ninth time, it jumped the dragon gate and turned into a heavenly dragon. Then it ascended and soared to the skies.


    " Each revolution will increase the power of the True Qi by two times. When one will achieve the ninth revolution, they can generate 18 times of normal power. Not to mention, their True Qi reservoir of the same realm will be taht much bigger than their opponent."


    The Azure Heaven Nine Revolution also gives one a glimpse of Grand Dao in an early stage. Using such a technique, one can easily suppress every technique beneath Imperial Grade.


    Long Ming closed his eyes and he channeled his True Qi ording to the Azure Heaven Nine Revolutions.


    The True Qi streamed in his veins as Long Ming controlled it. Soon, he was immersed in the world of Azure Heaven Nine Revolutions.


    Long Ming didn''t move as he practiced the technique.


    Unknown to him, 2 days already passed.


    Two dayster, Long Ming''s eyes opened as he looked in front of him. He took a light breath as he got down from the bed.


    If one sees Long Ming now, one could see a mystical aura around him, like a young immortal. His slow movement and elegant way could charm anyone.


    Long Ming looked outside the window. He could see the birds chirping and flowers swaying in the wind.


    " Fuck."


    Yes, that was the first thing that came outside of his mouth.


    Although he appeared to be calm, his heart boiled with intense anger.


    " AHHH! What the fuck is wrong with my body! I have alreadyprehended the technique! Why I can''t practice it!"


    Long Ming tried not to be loud. But he almost screamed.


    Two days ago, He was very enthusiastic when he started practicing the Azure Heaven Nine Revolutions. However, as time passed, Long Ming realized a problem in his body.


    He could freely channel the True Qi in his body. But, He couldn''t amass it!


    His body was like a pipe with two open sides. If he forces True Qi from one side, it goes out from the other side.


    In Qi Condensation Stage, there are three sub-stages.


    First, Remolding the Physique Stage. One needs to temper their physique with True Qi.


    The second stage was Divine Sea Opening.


    It is when one breaks the barrier around the Divine Sea, which is also known as dantian. After one opens Divine Sea, one can store arge amount of True Qi inside it.


    The third stage was True Blood Refining.


    Whether it a cultivator, magical beast, or other creature, they all got True Blood in their body. It is the blood essence that carried the life force of one''s body. After awakening True Blood, a Peak Qi Condensation stage Cultivator''s lifespan extended by 200 years!


    True Blood is the thing that supports a cultivator''s body and vitality. It also carries their essence and power.


    Long Ming realized that he already reached the Physique Tempering Stage after practicing the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method to its peak. However, now, no matter what, he couldn''t open his Divine Sea.


    Or rather saying that, he felt like the True Qi wasn''t getting stored in his Divine Sea.


    Without proper amount of True Qi, how can he use other techniques?


    '' Goddamn! If I knew such a thing would happen, I wouldn''t have practiced the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method even if someone had beaten me to death!''


    [ Ding! Courting Death System''s time is over! Asking Host to redeem the gifts before System''s time runs out!]


    " What!!"


    Long Ming almost bit his tongue when the sudden message popped up.


    " Holy Fuck! Are you telling me that the remaining two days already passed? Bullshit!"


    However, when Long Ming saw the time remaining for the system is only 10 minutes, he couldn''t help but sigh.


    " Damn it. Not only I couldn''t practice Azure Heaven Nine Revolutions, I also wasted my time."


    Long Ming opened his inventory as he saw the remaining unused item.


    Thankfully, The Inventory was of Infinity Star Roullete. So, Long Ming couldn''t lose any items he ced there.


    However, he might lose things like Lottery Tickets, Random Items cards, etc.


    " First, Let me choose the Basic Weapon Mastery card." Long Ming mumbled as he tapped on it. Suddenly, various options appeared before him.


    Long Ming clenched his fist as his eyes teared up.


    Like every protagonist, he wished to wield an Immortal Sword. Being a proud swordsman, holding a treasure sword in one hand and wine in another.


    A proud and wandering sword immortal.


    Or, Using a Tyrranical Saber to dominate the world. With a demonic saber in one hand, he could conquer the world.


    However, right now, Long Ming didn''t have such privileges. He realized that his True Qi cultivation aptitude might be really shitty. So, he needs to choose something rational.


    '' At this rate, I will definitely need to stay behind. I need something long-range.''


    '' Spear or Halberd are good options, but it still involves a melee fight. In that case, I will choose¡­"


    Long Ming clicked on the Bow and Arrow.


    [ Ding! Host mastered Basic Techniques of Archery!]


    " Whew, Next¡­" Long Ming nodded as he looked at the next item.


    " Random Item box! Open!"


    [ Ding! Host received a Recording Jade!]


    [ Recording Jade: A smooth jade that can record and stream high-definition audio and video! A must need item if you wish to ckmail someone!]


    Long Ming pondered as he looked at the Recording Jade. " Well, Not helpful in terms of firepower. But, It is a nice item."


    Then, Long Ming used two of his lottery ticket.


    [ Ding! Host gets a Random Profession: King of Wine Making]


    [ Ding! Host gets a Random Book: Grand Archive of Herbs and Medicines, Vol 1]


    Long Ming sighed as he looked at the final item. It was a Golden Colored Box.


    [ Supreme Grade Treasure Box opened! Host gets a Super Item!]


    [ The Heavenly Urn of Frozen me]


    [ An Urn that can easily carry 10,000 liters of liquid and still weigh like nothing. An exceptional treasure where you can control the time inside. Also, You can change the temperature as you wish]


    [ A very durable item!]


    Long Ming''s face turned stiff as he looked at the final item. Before he could give another expression, a bell sound rang.


    [ Ding! Courting Death System is taking its leave! Don''t forget to rate us five stars!]


    [ And, Keep Courting Death!]


    Long Ming sat on the bed he dumped everything in the inventory space. At this point, he didn''t even got the energy to curse.


    " Ah! Young master Long! You woke up!"


    Long Ming saw Ling''ering inside. She looked a bit tired as she looked at Long Ming.


    " You were immersed in the cultivation so much that Young Lady forbade us to disturb you. However, Elder Meng persisted that you must visit Eternal Spring Tower."


    Long Ming sighed as he nodded. " Very well, Lead the way."


    Ling''er nodded as she prepared the carriage. Long Ming sat in the carriage without saying anything.


    [ Ding! Infinite Star Roulete has been activated! Next System arriving in two hours!]


    Long Ming rubbed his forehead.


    '' I hope the next system will be better than before.'' Long Ming sighed.


    " Uh, Young Master Long, How did you feel after you enlightend by the Ancestral Tablet?" Ling''er asked curiously.


    " Nothing much¡­"


    When Long Ming remembered he couldn''t practice the Azure Heaven Nine Revolutions, his mood turned sour.


    '' However, Now thinking calmly, situation isn''t that bad.'' Long Ming closed his eyes as he leaned back.


    [ Ding! Host earned King of Wine Making title!]


    [ Ding! Host memorized Grand Archive of Herbs and Medicines!]


    Long Ming calmed his heart as he digested all the information from these two things.


    Especially the Grand Archive of Herbs and Medicines. It was way better than Long Ming expected. It recorded at least a thousand herbs and their reactions, seriously enmorous amount of information.


    Not to mention, it is only the first volume.


    '' Hey, At least I can be an Alchemist or something?''


    Long Ming tried to see the brighter side.


    Soon, they reached the Eternal Spring Tower. Long Ming could see Meng Zhi standing from far.


    With a subtle smirk, she weed Long Ming.

 Chapter 14: Star Platinum!

    Chapter 14: Star tinum!


    " Wee, Little Brother Long. I hope your cultivation session has been fruitful."


    Long Ming was startled when he heard Meng Zhi. " Hm? What are you talking about?"


    Meng Zhi chuckled. " Everyone has their own secrets, Little Brother. I could see how immersed you were in your meditation. I was wondering why didn''t youe to Eternal Spring Tower. But when I saw you, I thought you were indeed busy."


    Long Ming was utterly confused as he didn''t understand what Meng Zhi was talking about. Meng Zhi''s sexy dress fluttered as she turned around.


    " Come, Let me give you a tour around."


    Long Ming followed Meng Zhi as she started to exin.


    " Here, The girls are typically divided into four categories. Maids, Red ques, Jades, And Sky Pearl."


    " Maids are¡­ you know, those who work here and do the chores. Red que girls are there only to hook low-ss customers and make this ce attractive." Meng Zhi exined.


    "Our cash cows are Jade and Sky Pearl grade girls." Meng Zhi spoke. " You can''t just throw money and sleep with them. You can throw money at the Jade ss girls, and they might not choose you."


    " Not to mention, The Sky Pearl ss girls are absolutely untouchable. They only perform and nothing else. However, They also earn very much just by donations."


    Meng Zhi sighed. " It was originally going well. But those damned to Blissful Heaven Temple bastards."


    Long Ming pondered as he looked around. " Well, I understand. But then, what about other entertainments?"


    " Other entertainments?" Meng Zhi was startled. " Are you talking about gambling?"


    " But unfortunately, we don''t have the fighting arena or anything. Also, The Jade Cutting game isn''t our forte at all."


    " These are not the only games in existence." Long Ming spoke. " Gambling can be¡­anything. Like, You can make anyone gamble in anything you wish."


    Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming with surprise. " I see. I can understand what Little Brother is saying. However, How to implement it?"


    " Well, I have some ideas¡­ But I will tell you after I review everything." Long Ming spoke. " After this, you can increase your ie source by another item."


    " What is it?"


    " Cooking!" Long Ming spoke. " Food and wine in a brothel are must need items. Have you thought about it?"


    Meng Zhi gave a wry smile. " Little brother is very insightful. How can I know to think about that?"


    " However, in terms of food, Blissful Heaven Temple is far ahead than us. Their chefs were from the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire. Naturally, they are growing quicker than us."


    " Not to mention, they are giving their special wine, Blissful Wine to all of their branches. It has be one of the most famous wines across the empire."


    Long Ming frowned when he heard that. No matter in what way, the Blissful Heaven Temple is suppressing Four Season Valley in every way.


    " Hmm, The situation is worse than I thought." Long Ming spoke. " However, It is not a hopeless one either."


    " Oh, You have a way?" Meng Zhi was startled. " I would like to hear about that¡­"


    " Of course. For example¡­"


    However, Long Ming suddenly paused as a voice rang in his fine.


    [ Infinite Star Roulette has begun to spin! Before receiving the next system, asking Host to give a review about the Courting Death System!]


    Long Ming was startled as he nodded. " Sister Meng, can you go outside for a moment? I need to ponder about something."


    " Ah, Very well. You can take your time." Meng Zhi nodded as she got up and walked away. Long Ming sat on the balcony as he looked outside.


    " Review, you ask¡­" Long Ming pondered as he spoke.


    " First of all, one needs to adjust the choosing of Host." Long Ming spoke. " Host should stay in a safe position. The power gap of the strongest being in the vicinity of Host shouldn''t be higher than three major realms."


    Long Ming couldn''t help but shiver when he gazed at his surrounding. Even the weakest cultivator can kill him with a spat. Thankfully, his fate was strong enough to shield him.


    " Second change, don''t give rewards in every situation." Long Ming spoke.


    " Either, make something like Courting Death Points, and a shop system. Or, give a certain amount of tickets per amount of courting death and make it a roulette system."


    " Third, Specify the grade of treasures."


    Long Ming gave all of that and submitted it. He hopes the devs won''t ignore this and improve their system. Long Ming kinda cares about other protagonists, right?


    " Heh, Just kidding. They can all die. But, I need to do my duty as a righteous beta tester, right?" Long Mingughed.


    [ Ding! Review submitted!]


    [ Ding! The Thousand Venomous Tongue is pleased by your honest review! He sent you an extra gift!]


    [ You get a Superior Weapon Box!]


    Long Ming was surprised when he saw the gift box. " Well, That''s unexpected. Thank you, Mr. Thousand Venonous Tongue!"


    [ Ding! Constetion Thousand Venomous Tongue is pleased!]


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine Realms is scoffing! He is saying his gift was better!]


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, If you really want to help me, Why not give me something like a Supreme Harem System or Sex ve System?"


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine Realm is saying: Smh my head! In his words, a man should conquer a beauty with his own charm and cock]


    Long Ming couldn''t help but give a middle finger to the skies.


    [ Ding! The Infinity Star Roulette has spun! Host got a new System!]


    [ Ding! Host receives God of Wealth System!]


    Long Ming saw a bright golden colored screen appear before him as the sound of coins clinking spread. A gold coin flipped in the middle of the screen as it said


    [ Loading!]


    Long Ming waited and waited as he yed with the jade cup in his hand. Soon, Ten minutes passed and Long Ming felt bored.


    " Damn it! Isn''t it taking too much time?"


    However, at that moment, Long Ming became speechless.


    [ Tap on the screen to continue!]


    " What the¡­WHY THERE IS SUCH A USELESS FUNCTION IN THIS?"


    Long Ming got triggered when he saw that. But then, it was his own fault as he didn''t notice, which he of course, didn''t admit.


    [ Ding! God of Wealth System is activated! Binding with Host!]


    [ Binding Sessful!]


    [ DING!]


    [Money¡­]


    [Money is something that is omnipresent. There isn''t any civilization that works without money. Currency might differ, the money is always there!]


    [ As a protagonist, what sort of protagonist if you live like a poor beggar? What sort of protagonist you are if you can''t crush your opponent to death by showering money on them?]


    [What sort of protagonist you are if you can''t just purchase your love with it?]


    [ With money, you will naturally get beauty, power, influence¡­ Whatever you can wish for!]


    [ Our motto: Money isn''t God¡­ But you can reach God easily if you have Money!]


    Long Ming cringed at the motto of the God of Wealth System.


    " Nope, I am sorry. I don''t want to die yet¡­"


    However, after that, Long Ming opened the system interface.


    [ Main Quest: Earn One Million High grade Spirit Stones in 14 Days]

    (IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKIN JOJO REFERENCE?!)


    [ Ding! Host received a Novice Gift Package!]


    Long Ming''s eyes lit up when he saw that.


    " Well, Let''s see what I will get this time. Hopefully, Something that is really helpful to me." Long Ming pondered as he was about to click on it.


    But then, he paused.


    '' No¡­ I should increase my luck before I click.'' Long Ming thought.


    After a while, Meng Zhi returned. Long Ming suddenly looked at her as he asked.


    " Sister Meng, I have a favor to ask you."


    " Huh? What is so sudden?" Meng Zhi was surprised. " Fine, I will do it if it is in my favor."


    " Hold my hands¡­" Long Ming spoke seriously.


    Meng Zhi was stunned as she looked at Long Ming. She blushed lightly as she clenched her dress, looking away.


    " Little brother, It is still daytime¡­How about we wait for the evening?"


    " No, It is fine." She added. " I think we can do it right away¡­"


    "Whoa! WHOA!" Long Ming took a step back. " Calm down, Elder Sister. I am just asking you to hold my hand."


    " Uh, Ah! Yes, I was also¡­talking about the same thing."


    Long Ming couldn''t help but grimace. Meng Zhi''s skin was really thick She walked toward Long Ming as she held his hand.


    " Mm, Little brother''s hands are so soft and smooth."


    " Sister Meng¡­"


    Long Ming trembled as Meng Zhi squeezed his palm. Even though she was just squeezing it, Meng Zhi somehow made it seductive and sensual, making Long Ming distract.


    " Well, Just hold it and¡­"


    Long Ming clicked on the Novice Pack on the System Screen.


    [ Ding! Novice Pack is opening!]


    [ Ding! Host obtained a Star tinum Grade Prize! Eyes of Heavenly Revtion!]


    [ Ding! Host gained the Ability: Truth Seeker! Host can look past any sort of charm and illusion! Host can even trace the minuscule amount of aura!]

    [ Ding! Host gets Illusion Seeker: Host can cast an illusion over someone. The opponent''s soul strength needs to be a lower or simr level to the Host!]


    Long Ming''s pupils got clouded with multicolor light as he closed his eyes for a moment.


    However, when he opened his eyes, his vision changedpletely.

 Chapter 15: System Glitch!

    Chapter 15: System Glitch!


    Meng Zhi''s eyes narrowed as she looked at Long Ming with a wide gaze. She could feel the aura around him change sharply. His eyes, which looked serene and calm, looked sharp and fierce now.


    However, his pupil color changed, turning into crystal azure from brown color.


    It was like two pools of azure abyss, staring at a person''s soul and seeing all their secrets.


    " Little brother. Your eyes¡­"


    " Hmm? Does it look different?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at himself in the mirror. These Heavenly Revtion Eyes gave him an immeasurable presence along with his Deste Immortal Aura.


    Not to mention, he looks much more handsome than before.


    " Well, Big sister Meng, no need to get startled." Long Ming shook his hands. " I was cultivating a profound Eye type of technique and just achieved a breakthrough.


    " Hoho, Then I must congratte you, Little brother." Meng Zhi smiled. " I wonder what sort of technique you have been practicing?"


    Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi as he activated the Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    He could see a burst of flower petals around Meng Zhi as there was a giant humanoid figure condensed on pink-colored light.


    The pink colored figure looked like a bountiful woman with a sexy figure. However, Long Ming could see some dark colored cracks on it.


    When Long Ming looked at it, he couldn''t help but bewitch by it. It looked like a beautifuldy standing in a field in the season of Spring.


    " Big Sister Meng, I think I sense a familiar aura from you." Long Ming spoke. " What sort of cultivation technique do you practice?"


    " Me?" Meng Zhi chuckled. " I practiced the Hundred Flower Bewitching Art. It was an Upper tire Sky grade technique."


    " Hmm, But It feels strange." Long Ming spoke. " This technique¡­ Is it derived from a higher technique?"


    Meng Zhi''s eyes widened when she heard that. " This¡­ Little brother, Who told you that? Not many people know but, This technique is derived from Four Season Divine Dao Art, the most powerful and foundational technique of our sect. It was an Imperial grade technique."


    " Four Seasons Divine Dao Art?" Long Ming was shocked when he heard that. He got that exact technique in his head. He got it from the Ancestral tablet!


    " Unfortunately, I can only get my hands on the Hundred Flower Bewitching Art, which is from the Ethreal Spring branch. How I wish I could cultivate the Blooming Spring Rejuvenation Art¡­"


    " It is alright, Sister Meng." Long Ming smiled. " I am sure you will get your hand on that in the near future."


    " Thanks for your words, Littel brother." Meng Zhi smiled.


    However, What Long Ming said wasn''t bullshit. The Four Seasons Divine Dao Art can be broken into four types of cultivation techniques. Each of them was Royal ss technique."


    " They are Scorching Summer Radiant Physique, Limpid Autumn Shadow Art, Deste Winter Starlight Technique, and Blooming Spring Rejuvenation Art.


    If he wants, He can give the Blooming Spring Rejuvenation Art to Meng Zhi right now. However, Long Ming would be insane if he did that.


    '' I need to wait for the right time. In this world, possessing jade is a crime for the poor. If I reveal my treasure here, I might be as good as dead.''


    [ Ding! Random mission triggered! Acquire 1000 Low grade Spirit Stones in 1 hour!]


    [ Reward: Random One Time Use Item!]


    Long Ming was startled when he saw the mission. " Hmm, Sister Meng, How many spirit stones do you have right now?"


    Meng Zhi was startled. " How much? Why do you ask, little brother?"


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Can you give me 1000 low grade spirit stones?"


    " 1000?" Meng Zhi was slightly surprised when he heard Long Ming. " What are you going to do with that?"


    " Just asking. I wonder if you have or not."


    " Wait a bit." Meng Zhi waved her hand as a small pouch appeared in his hand. " Here, 1000 low grade spirit stones."


    Long Ming held it as a system prompt appeared.


    [ Ding! Host sessfully cleared Random Daily Mission! Host gets White Silver grade treasure! Golden Bell Talisman!]


    [ Golden Bell Talisman: Once activated, It willst for ten minutes. It can withstand the attack of a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm expert. Invisible to other people''s eyes unless Host wishes to show]


    Long Ming turned speechless when he saw that.


    '' It¡­.It worked?''


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he returned the pouch to Meng Zhi. "Here, Sister Meng, you can keep it."


    " Huh?" Meng Zhi was startled as she received the pouch. " Little brother¡­.Are you alright?"


    Long Ming held his breath as we waited if the Golden Bell Talisman would vanish or not. However, he was ted when he saw it was still in his inventory.


    '' Mother! I just discovered the Infinite Money glitch!'' Long Ming caught the bug in this system.


    And now, unlike squashing it like other bugs, Long Ming is going to pet it, feed it, and raise it.


    [ Ding! Constetion Gold Guarding Miser Dragon is furious! He is asking Host to refund the system!]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Realm is pleased with Host''s cunning mind!]


    [ Ding! Constetion Thousand Venomous Tongue is despising the Gold Guarding Miser Dragon! He is saying at least his System didn''t have such a tant w!]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Realm is saying no change in System is allowed before the beta testing is over!]


    '' I love you, Harem King! You are the true bro!'' Long Ming felt he had gotten wings¡­not, Hyperspace Jetpacks on his back.


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Realm is nodding with a smile. But he is saying: No Homo]


    [Ding! Constetion Demon of Limitless Lust is aroused is winking at Host!]


    Long Ming shivered when he saw that. '' What the fuck? These are really the constetion I know?''


    However, since Long Ming got hold of such a bug, he will exploit¡­Cough, troubleshoot it properly.


    " Anyway, Sister Meng, Since I have heard the situation, I should give you some solutions now." Long Ming smiled. " Can you gather all the employees and girls?"


    Meng Zhi gave Long Ming a strange look as she nodded. '' Very well, Wait for a bit."


    Soon, Meng Zhi and Long Ming stood by side to side in a hall. Before them, stood all the beautiful Jade and Sky Pearl ss girls.


    Long Ming''s expression remained calm. However, his heart was thumping wildly. So many beauties in one ce. Even the ugliest one could be listed as a little beauty on Earth.


    However, Long Ming took a deep breath as he calmed himself. "Greetings, Fellow Sister. Since today is our first meeting, This little schr shall introduce myself."


    " My name is Long Ming, and I am here to help you all."


    Long Ming was startled a bit when he saw a familiar figure. " Elder Shi? What are you doing here?"


    Elder Shiughed. " That''s something I should be asking. I am here to deliver some special clothes to these girls."


    " But what about you? What are you doing here?" Elder Shi chuckled. " It is still daytime, Brat. Could it be, you are really feeling unbearable?"


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Humans can be influenced by emotions anytime, Elder Shi. And, Looking at these beautiful sisters, if I don''t feel anything, Am I still a man?"


    " Haha¡­"


    " Little brother is cheeky!"


    " I know, right? I met him that evening and he is funny as always."


    All the girls giggled at Long Ming''s remark. Long Ming smiled as he could see a stream of Fragrant Yin Qi entering his body and condensing into Fragrant Yin Petals.


    " But, Don''t think I''m here to relieve my heat." Long Ming chuckled. " I heard from Sister Meng that you guys are having some difficulties." Long Ming spoke.


    " Let me ask something¡­ What is the cheapest price here? Which one got the lowest price?"


    All the girls felt a bit of shyness as they looked at each other.


    A woman walked forward as she spoke. " It is¡­ 50 low grade spiritual stones per night."


    Long Ming nodded. " And the highest?"


    Long Ming saw a girl standing in a blue dress with beautiful embroidery. Meng Zhi nodded. " Meet, She is our star¡­ Lu Yuyan."


    " Yuyan greets Young Noble Long."


    Lu Yuyan cupped her fist as she bowed before Long Ming. Meng Zhi spoke, " When she performs, each person needs to give at least 5000 low grade spiritual stones."


    Long Ming understood the principle. Although Lu Yuyan can earn more money in one go, it couldn''t be called sustainable earning. It is because Lu Yuyan can''t perform too many times, or else her price will be lower.


    The backbone of Eternal Spring Tower is naturally the Jade grade girls. Only they give a stable earning to the Eternal Spring Tower.


    " Well, First, Let''s work with your appeals." Long Ming pped. " Elder Shi, Can you show me what sort of dress you made this time?"


    Elder Shi nodded as she took out the dress. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he could feel a trace of enchantment on the dresses.


    The dresses are made up of the finest material. They looked simply wless. Even an ordinary girl will look beautiful in these dresses.


    " These are the finest dresses I saw, Elder Shi." Long Ming nodded. " However, I think I have some better concepts."


    " You know, girls of Eternal Spring Tower don''t need to look only beautiful." Long Ming grinned.


    " They need to look¡­Arousing. Arousing enough to make men open both their pants and wallet."


    Elder Shi raised her eyebrows. " Oh? Then what suggestion do you have?"


    " Elder Shi, Do you have any tailoring materials? How about you make the thing as I instruct?"


    " Hoh?" Elder Shi raised her brows. " Let''s see your ability then."


    Long Ming smiled as he activated his talent as Divine Tailor.


    For now, he can''t craft any dresses. But, That doesn''t mean he can''t give pointers.


    After a while, everyone was stunned. Even Elder Shi was surprised by the product made by Long Ming.


    " Brat, Are you a tailor? Why do you know so much about this?"


    " Hehe, Elder Shi is ttering." Long Ming smiled. " Let''s see how it will look on the girls."


    Meng Zhi looked at one girl as she understood. She was ecstatic as she got chosen.


    When she came out after wearing the dress, all of them were shocked.


    " This¡­This¡­"

 Chapter 16: Making Strategy for Eternal Spring Tower

    Chapter 16: Making Strategy for Eternal Spring Tower


    Long Mingughed. " Whoa! Calm down, everyone. The task is still unfinished."


    " Makeup artists! Come and do some adjustments."


    " Yes!"


    Soon, Lu Yanyu stood before everyone in her new attire. Even Meng Zhi took a deep breath as she look at Lu Yanyu.


    " Yanyu¡­.Is that really you?"


    Elder Shi was stunned and she started tough loudly.


    "Hahaha! Good! Good! What a nice dress!"


    Lu Yanyun flustered a bit when she received the praises.


    She wore a sexy cheongsam, with an extremely low cut, showing a good amount of her mountain sides. The front covering was short as her thighs were exposed from the sexy slits of the dress.


    Her hairstyle, and her charming eyes, it was enough to hook any man''s soul. Long Ming nodded in approval.


    " Now, What do you think?"


    " Absolutely amazing!" Meng Zhi pped. " The aura and demeanor of Lu Yanyu changedpletely. Little brother, How did you do it?"


    Long Ming rubbed under his nose. " Well, You can think it as a talent of mine."


    Back then earth, the cosy artists were truly wild. Long Ming spent his life in front of hisputer, How can he not know about them?


    Staying on the inte, he got cursed¡­blessed with various fetishes. And by various means¡­Almost all.


    There are only a few tags that Long Ming didn''t jerk off to. He knows which things can attract a man most.


    A simple smile or a subtle wink, even they can add extra charm to a woman.


    " Well, Elder Shi, I would like to give you amission." Long Ming took a stack of paper and used his Treasured Jade Brush.


    In an hour, he made at least ten types of outfits. When Elder Shi saw them, she couldn''t help get shocked.


    " Marvelous! Such exotic clothing! I never thought about them!" Elder Shi grinned ear to ear as she looked at Long Ming. " I say, Brat. Qinglian really chose a nice boytoy, huh?"


    Long Ming almost stumbled. " B-Boy you! I am not a boytoy!"


    " Well, I know, Little brother." Meng Zhi slowly hugged Long Ming from behind. " I am really jealous of Little Qing. She really got a nice man."


    " Hehe, Sister Meng, You are ttering me" Long Ming grinned. But he was trying his best to control his desires.


    " Also, Elder Shi." Long Ming looked at Elder Shi. " Make the clothes in such a way that it can be ripped with minimum strength."


    " Ripped with minimum strength?" Elder Shi fekt a bit strange. " But why? I only make best quality clothes though."


    " Well, Just do it, Elder Shi. You will know the reason." Long Ming smiled. Elder Shi nodded. " Very well, I will at most take one day toplete all these."


    Long Ming nodded. Meng Zhi looked at Lu Yanyu, " Yanyu, From now, You are going to wear¡­"


    " Nope." Long Ming interjected. " She won''t be going to wear that dress,


    " Huh? But why?" Meng Zhi was startled. Long Ming smiled. " I have a better n for her."


    " But this dress is going to be a girl of Red que ss."


    " Red que?" Meng Zhi was startled. " But why? Jade ss girls are better."


    Long Ming chuckled. " Don''t worry, As I said, I have a n for everyone."


    " So first, Sister Meng, Is there any girl who is eligible to ascend to Jade ss from Red que ss?"


    Meng Zhi rubbed her chin ." Well, Now you ask¡­There is one."


    " Xiao''er, Come forward."


    Long Ming raised her eyebrows as she saw a girl walking forward and bowing before them. " Xiao''er greets Aunt Meng and Young Noble Long."


    She didn''t have the graceful and charming aura of Lu Yanyu. However, there was a sharp gaze in her eyes. Along with her firm plump chest and hourss figure, she looked pretty seductive.


    " Go and wear Lu Yanyu''s dress."


    " Yes."


    Xiao''er bowed as she walked into the changing room. When she wore that dress, everyone got shocked.


    It was the same dress that Lu Yanyu wore. However, Xiao''er lookedpletely different.


    She looked sexy and seductive. She was certainly giving the vibe of a girl which no married woman would let walk near her husband.


    In simple words, She looked like a sexy slut. And this dress was more fitting on her than Lu Yanyu,


    " Sister Meng, There is no point in making the beautiful into more beautiful." Long Ming smirked.


    " It is only worth it when you can make the less beautiful into more beautiful."


    Meng Zhi was stunned when she heard Long Ming. In that short sentence, She felt like Long Ming told her a deep quote. She cupped her fist as she bowed. " Little brother is wise. I shall remember your word."


    " Sister Yanyu, No need to feel upset. I have different ns for you." Long Ming spoke. " From now, we are going to turn the entire Eternal Spring Tower upside down."


    " Sister Meng, Can you close the Eternal Spring Tower for Four days?"


    " Four days?" Meng Zhi was startled. " This¡­ Four days sound a bit much."


    " Well?" Long Ming chuckled. " We need some time to put on the adjustments. Also, It will build the anticipation among the crowd, No?"


    " Building the anticipation so they could spend more when the Eternal Spring Tower will reopen? Marvelous!" Meng Zhi''s eyes shone.


    " Alright, Four days, Is it?" Meng Zhi looked at all the girls. " You all heard? The tower shall be closed for four days. You guys better prepare everything."


    " As y ou say, Lady Meng."


    Long Ming looked at all the girls. " Well, Is there anything you guys wish to talk about with me?"


    However, the moment Long Ming spoke that, he regretted it. All the girl''s eyes lit up with greedy lights as they surrounded Long Ming.


    " Noble Long, can you also make a dress for me?"


    " Young Noble, How about we talk on tea in the window seat of tenth floor?"


    " Young Noble, You are really so handsome!"


    " Erm¡­Uhh!!"


    Long Ming sweated as he felt like he might die from the stampede of girls. Their bodies pressed against his as they all chattered. However, Long Ming could see a vast amount of Fragrant Yin Qi was gathering inside his body.


    " Well, The clothing issue has been resolved for now. Sister Meng, I would like to inspect the food and drinks."


    Meng Zhiughed as she pushed aside everyone. " Hoho, It is already lunch time. Little brother, Come with me. I already asked the cook to prepare the best dishes."


    " Alright."


    Long Ming nodded as he followed Meng Zhi.


    '' System! Open the shop!''


    [ Ding!]


    Long Ming opened the system shop and he saw a row of items.


    [ Divine Sky Nirvana mes: Sacred me of Heaven and Earth. Even a spark of it can burn a Dao Refining Stage Cultivator in to ashes]


    [ Price: 100 Billion high grade Spirit Stones]


    Long Ming''s face remained calm as he scroll down.


    '' Don''t look at price¡­Don''t look at them. They are just shiny things to lure the prey in.''


    [ World Severing Imperial Sword: A heavenly sword forged with the Laws of Heaven and Earth, quenched with water of Yellow Springs. Holding the sword, One can even match with Ancient Lords


    [ Price: 500 Billion High grade Spirit stones]


    Long Ming nodded.


    '' Very impressive. Thank you for letting me know that I am a poor bastard''


    Long Ming didn''t bother as he scrolledpletely below. He focused on thest two items.


    [ Plum Blossom Fan: White Silver rank treasure. Made with paper of a millennium old Plum Blossom tree and metal used is Meteorite Iron. A powerful treasure that can produce terrifying gusts of wind. Also, it gives you extra charm!]


    [ Price: 1 Mid grade spirit stones]


    [ 1000 Year old Hallucination Grass(10 Stalks): An addictive medicinal herb that can easily induce hallucination. I can be also used as a strong sedative!]


    [ Price: 10 Mid grade Spirit Stone]


    Long Ming understood the conversion of spirit stones. 1000 low grade spirit stones make 1 mid grade spirit stone. 1 high grade spirit is made up of 1000 mid grade spirit stones.


    " Well¡­" Long Ming rubbed his palm as he walked behind Meng Zhi.


    " Uh, Sister Meng¡­ Can you give me that pouch of spirit stone again?"


    "..."


    Meng Zhi almost stumbled when she heard that. Didn''t Long Ming return her money before without doing anything? Why is he asking again?


    " I say, Little brother. You don''t need to shy from asking for money from me." Meng Zhi smiled. " Here, Take this."


    " Thank you, Sister Meng." Long Ming gave an embarrassedugh. " I hope I am not being a burden on you."


    " Oh, Don''t worry, Why would you?" Meng Zhi smiled. " As long as your n works out, we are going to earn much more."


    Soon, They sat on the chair as the maid served all sorts of dishes and wine on the table. Long Ming''s eyes shone as he dove into the food.


    " Mm! My god! These dishes are so delicious!"


    Long Ming was like a hurricane as he devoured the food. Strange enough he felt like his appetite increased quite a lot.


    " Sister Meng, you are saying Blissful Heaven Temple''s dishes is even better than this?" Long Ming asked curiously. Meng Zhi nodded. " Indeed, It is better than our food."


    Suddenly, An idea shed in Long Ming''s mind. '' Wait a second¡­ I can probably do that!''


    An evil grin crept on Long Ming''s mouth as he ate the food. '' Well? Sister Meng¡­Let me ask you something."


    " Do wish to serve the best quality food to customers¡­Or do you wish to earn the best amount of money?"


    Meng Zhi was startled. " Well? Aren''t they both the same th-"


    She suddenly paused as she carefully repeated Long Ming''s words in her mind. A smile of understanding appeared on her face as she looked at Long Ming.


    " As long a customer doesn''t find any fault, I don''t mind taking some extra from them."


    " Haha, Excellent." Long Ming nodded as he saw the smile on Meng Zhi''s face.


    " Sister Meng, Can you lend me 10,000 Low grade spirit stones?"


    It was already night as Long Ming was staying in a High ss room in Eternal Spring Tower. Since the tower was closed for four days, everything was tranquil.


    Long Ming sat cross legged on the bed as he cultivated the Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art. The Fragrant Yin qi he gained from girls condensed into nine Fragrant Yin Petals.


    All petals were filled to their brim as they shone with a hazey pink light. The Fragran Yin Qi turned a whirpool as it shot inside his Divine Sea.


    " Hmm? Ling''er, Where is Long Ming?"


    Mu Qinglian noticed Long Ming''s absence as she asked Ling''er. Ling''er blushed as she looked at Mu QInglian. " He went to the Eternal Spring Tower with Elder Meng. And, I heard that he is going to stay there for few days."


    *BOOM*


    Mu Qinglian crushed the teacup in her hand as she was stunned. Without saying a word, her flying sword appeared as she dissappeared from her ce.


    '' How can you mingle with those cheap women? Am I not enough for you?''


    '' Semms you need some¡­Discipline.''

 Chapter 17: Mu Qinglians Intervention! Making Beverages!

    Chapter 17: Mu Qinglian''s Intervention! Making Beverages!


    Long Ming sat cross legged in his room as the Fragrant Yin Qi revolve in his body. The nine petals filled with Fragrant Yin Qi turned into a small flower as it was nted inside his dantian.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes snapped open as looked at his surrounding. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see the building was clouded with Fragrant Yin Qi.


    Long Ming slowly circted the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Art as he absorbed the Fragrant Yin Qi.


    '' This¡­This Fragrant Yin Qi isn''ting directly from women''s bodies. This energy is already spread in the Eternal Srpng Tower. Since it is a brothel, of course, it is filled with the amorous energy of women''s bodies.''


    It looked like hepleted the first stage of the technique and reached the second stage. From now on, not only he can absorb energy from women''s bodies, he can absorb the Fragrant Yin Qi from the surroundings.


    Long Ming noticed a peculiarity. After turning into a flower, it fed on the Fragrant Yin Qi and took root in his divine sea. However, after that, The flower didn''t absorb any Fragrant Yin Qi.


    Rather than that, the Fragrant Yin Qi is now filling his divine sea. Long Ming pondered when he saw that. " Can I substitute the True Qi with Fragrant Yin Qi?'' I wonder¡­''


    However, at that moment, Long Ming''s eyes opened as he suddenly stared at the door. The door creaked and opened, showing a beautiful girl walking inside.


    It was none other than Xiao''er.


    Long Ming''s breath hitched when he saw Xiao''er. She wore the sexy cheongsam made by Long Ming as she looked at him w ith her sultry eyes.


    " Xiao''er greets Young Noble Long!"


    Xiao''er gave a bow. Long Mig gulped a mouthful of saliva when he saw Xiao''er breasts, which were already revealing, revealed some more before him.


    " Erm¡­ Yes. Good evening, Sister Xiao''er. What brings you here at this hour?"


    Long Ming looked calm andposed as he smiled at Xiao''er. Xiao''er saw there was a brush and a few papers lying around him. Perhaps Long Ming was writing something?


    However, Xiao''er heart thumped when she looked at Long Ming. He excluded a mature, schrly charm. Not to mention, the aura around him looked simply Transcending.


    " I¡­ I am thankful to Noble Long to gift me with such an opportunity. Due to your help, I can finally establish myself in the Eternal Spring Tower." Xiao''er knelt before Long Ming as she spoke.


    " Ahh! Don''t do that, Sister Xiao." Long Ming hurried as he held the shoulders of Xiao''er, making her get up. " You should have some faith in yourself."


    Xiao''er smiled when she saw Long Ming''s attitude. " The moment we are brought into Eternal Spring Tower, we are already resigned to our fate. However, if one bes a Jade ss courtesan here, we can make a decision about whom we can sleep with."


    Suddenly, Xiao''er hugged Long Ming''s waist as her bodyes closer. " Young Noble Long, I¡­ I am still pure. Hence, I wish to give my first time to you."


    Long Ming was startled when he heard Xiao''er. He couldn''t help but feel his heart thumping in his chest. Xiao''er was already hugging Long Ming tightly as she looked at him with her dreamy eyes.


    " Sister Xiao¡­You¡­Are you alright?" Long Ming asked calmly. " You know, You have the choice to¡­"


    "Precisely because I have a choice, I wish to use it." Xiao''er smiled. " Thanks to you, my earning shall increase. And now, I can send some more money to my house."


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt an overwhelming strength as Xiao''er pushed him onto the bed. Long Ming struggled as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes looked at Xiao''er.


    She was oozing out a dense amount of Fragrant Yin Qi as she looked at Long Ming with eyes filled with desire. Long Ming estimated her strength was at least in the Violet Pce Expansion Realm.


    Which means, she was stronger than Long Ming. In one moment, the docile and shy girl turned into a hungry wolf who pounced on Long Ming.


    Long Mingy on the bed Xiao''er climbed on him. She quickly unbuttoned his robe, revealing his wless upper body. Xiao''er seemed to be stunned as she traced Long Ming''s abs with her finger.


    It looked simply smooth and bright. Long Ming''s body looked like a master sculpture crafted from a single, wless jade stone. Xiao''e slowly lowered her face as she kissed Long Ming''s chest.


    Long Ming tried to remain normal, but he couldn''t help but shiver when he felt the soft lips of Xiao''er. For the first time in his two lives, he was kissing in such a manner.


    Xiao''er didn''t stop as she kept kissing Long Ming''s chest, slowly moving toward his neck.


    Long Ming was already feeling ecstatic. The feeling, that electricity running in his body was something he never expected.


    It was so different from the cultured material he watched on Earth. The subtle yet sensual kisses of Xiao''er, the sexy dress, everything aroused a me in Long Mig''s heart.


    '' Holy heaven! Has my time of springe?!''


    As Long Ming''s and Xiao''er lips were to meet, the door flung open.


    " Long Ming!"


    Long Ming and Xiao''er were frightened they almost jumped off the bed. Long Ming was horrified when he saw who it was.


    Mu Qinglian stood on the doorstep as she looked at Xiao''er and Long Ming. Long Ming gave a wry smile as he looked at Xiao''er.


    " Sister Xiao''er, you can go back to your room. Let''s celebrate the sess after the reopening of Eternal Spring Tower, yes?"


    Xiao''er eyes brightened as she blushed. Since Mu Qinglian was here, she can''t do anything but nod.


    " As Young Noble wishes."


    Mu Qinglian''s eyes squinted when she saw Xiao''er dress. However, she remained silent as Xiao''er walked away.


    " Oh, I am so sorry, Long Ming. It looks like I ruined your happy moment." Mu Qinglian walked toward Long Ming, giving a sarcastic smile.


    " Well, No one can change the heavenly ways. " Long Ming took out a paper fan as he walked to the window.


    " However, rather than being sad for something that didn''t happen, why not anticipate the things about to happen?"


    Long Ming smiled as he waved the fan a little. Mu Qinglian felt a light smell as if she could feel peach blossoms floating around Long Ming.


    However, Long Ming was cursing in his heart.


    '' Damn it! Did I just got cockblocked? Ugh, This boner is killing me!''


    " That paper fan¡­ It looks very great." Mu Qinglian spoke. Long Ming chuckled. " Of course. I look great, hence my items will also look great."


    Mu Qinglian was speechless as she sighed, sitting on the chair. She looked at the tent on Long Ming''s pants as she blushed, looking away as she started to speak.


    " I thought you were here to fool around, However, who would have thought? That you are here to help Big Sister Meng with the issue of Eternal Spring Tower?"


    " That Xiao''er dress, Is that something you made?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming smiled. " I only designed. Elder Shi is the one who made it."


    Long Ming was startled as he looked at Mu QInglian''s facial expression. Is that his misconception or¡­ She also liked that dress.


    " Well, Miss Mu doesn''t need to worry. I have ordered a better dress for you. It was going to be a surprise for you." Long Ming winked.


    " Oh, You¡­" Mu Qinglian blushed as she looked at Long Ming. " I didn''t say I want one."


    " However, If you insist¡­"


    Mu Qinglian sighed as she handed a ring to Long Ming. " Here, these are the things you asked from Meng Zhi."


    Long Ming''s eyes shone as he took the spatial ring, It is a space type treasure that can store many things inside,


    At this point, even a child would know what is a spatial ring, right?


    Long Ming waved his hand as a dozen big jars appeared before him. He opened them one by one as he smelled them.


    " Essence of Bitter Sunflower, Essence of Cloudy Berries, Essence of Azure Water Fruit¡­"


    " These are all essence extracted from medicinal herbs?" Mu Qinglian was surprised. " What are you going to do with such arge amount of essence? You can''t make medicinal pills with them."


    " It is not for medicinal pills. I am going to make something different." Long Ming grinned as he took out his Heavenly Urn of Frozen me.


    He poured the essence into the urn in the correct proportion as he channeled the True Qi to control the temperature.


    " First, Boil the Mixture of Cold Mint Grass and Azure Water Fruit. Then boil it till the mixture turns yellow."


    The urn can make heat enough to evaporate materials as well as cold enough to freeze them. Long Ming boiled and chilled the mixture in it masterfully.


    Mu Qinglian watched Long Ming with curious eyes as he worked for an hour. After that, he closed the urn and shouted.


    " Now, chill it."


    Long Ming smiled as he took two cups and poured the ck colored liquid from the urn. Mu Qinglian nodded as she took a sip. Her expression changed as she nodded.


    " Mm, It is cold, sweet. There is also a tinge of minty spike along with a light bitter vor. It will taste great as a beverage." Mu Qinglian nodded.


    '' Well, It is not finished yet." Long Ming smiled as he took a small leaf and dropped in the urn and closed it.


    " You should taste it again after it gets fermented." Long Ming smiled. " Anyway, It is alreadyte. Does Miss Mu wishes to sleep with me?"


    " Bah! Hooligan!"


    Mu Qinglian blushed as she got up, walking away hurriedly. Long Ming sighed as he felt exhausted. He fell on the bed and fell asleep.


    The night passed as the sun rose from the eastern sky.


    Long Ming slowly opened his eyes as he yawn.


    As usual, he was about to get up, but he paused suddenly.


    " Wh-Why my pants are kinda¡­Sticky?"

 Chapter 18: Old Man and Zither

    Chapter 18: Old Man and Zither


    Long Ming was speechless as he tried to recount the events of thest night.


    '' Mmm, I saw Xiao''er in my dream. She took off my clothes and we¡­Mmmmm.''


    Long Ming sighed as he scratched his head. He changed his pants as he got fresh. Since it was early morning, Long Ming sat cross legged on his bed as he started to cultivate.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi in his body revolved as Long Ming slowly gathered it in his heart.


    With the flow of Fragrant Yin Qi, Long Ming could feel his entire body on a spiritual level. Each of his body cells, each drop of his blood, Long Ming could feel them.


    " Just a bit more and I can finally refine True Blood Essence and reach the peak of Qi Condensation Realm." Long Ming muttered as he puffed a breath of turbid air.


    He got off his bed as he walked toward the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes.


    Afterst night''s sessful crafting of wine, Long Ming filled that jar with at least 500 Litres of herbal essence and refined it. After that, He turned on the TimeControlling Formation embedded on the urn to fasten the aging.


    In just one night, the wine aged by ten years. Of course, Long Ming can use spirit stones. However, since he was running low on them, he can only use the normal mode.


    The door opened as two maids appeared. Both of them looked pretty. They bowed before Long Ming, " Young noble, We brought you breakfast. After that, we will apany you in the bath."


    " Ba-Bath?!"


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. As he ate breakfast, Long Ming couldn''t help but swim the river of vors.


    '' The food in the immortal world is simply amazing! After I have enough power, I will travel around and try the cuisine of all regions.'' Long Ming promised in his heart inwardly.


    A new world, new sceneries, unknown treasures, and delicious foods, all of them became a strong drive for Long Ming.


    After finishing his breakfast, Long Ming waved his hand. " You guys can go."


    " But, Young Noble¡­"


    Long Ming chuckled. " No need to apany me to bath. I am going to rx by myself."


    Both maids bowed as they felt slightly disappointed. However, Long Ming still got pink qi from them nheless. Before they left, they put a dress on Long Ming''s bed.


    He took a bath in lukewarm water as he got ready with the new dress. Long Ming was surprised when he donned a blue colored robe with small white patterns.


    With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see the rune formations etched on them. He was familiar with these types of clothing. They were made by Elder Shi.


    " Damn, Elder Shi really made such a fine piece of dress for me. I am simply looking like a charming young noble." Long Ming smacked his lips. " Not to mention, I think It can resist extreme heat and cold, along with attacks of a True Core Formation stage cultivator."


    Long Ming tied his hair as he took out his paper fan. Giving a wink to his reflection, he walked out.


    " Greetings, Young Noble Long!"


    " Good Morning!"


    Long Ming nodded as he greeted them back politely. Elder Shi already delivered all the clothes by now. As he was walking Long Ming suddenly paused as he heard a pipa sound.


    It was a mesmerizing tune, one that can make people follow the source. Like water flowing in the differ, the tune made Long Ming calm and collected.


    He followed the music as he saw Lu Yanyu sitting beside a window as she was blowing a pipa. She was ying a beautiful tune, the one that can make people feel joy and contentment.


    Long Ming could see the flowers hovering and birds chirping around her. Long Ming pped when the music ended.


    "Marvelous! Sister Yanyu is really natural talent."


    Lu Yanyu blushed when she saw Long Ming. " Young Noble is overpraising me. I only dabbled in the art of pipa."


    Long Ming only smiled as he nodded. " If you follow my n, everything will turn into the blessing of Eternal Spring Tower."


    As they chatted, Meng Zhi and Mu Qinglian entered the room.


    " Aha, It is still morning. But it looks like he is ready to pounce on prey already."


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, is that so? If I wish to hunt, I have different prey in my mind though."


    Meng Zhi giggled as her eyes narrowed. " I guess if you are the predator, the prey won''t mind getting hunted."


    Mu Qinglian grimaced when she saw the situation. " Enough chit-chat. It is already the second day. What are we going to do?"


    Long Ming merely smiled. " Well, Since we already got our clothes ready, It is time to teach our girls some acting."


    " Acting?" Both Mu Qinglian and Meng Zhi became surprised.


    " Also, Sister Meng, Have you made the things I asked you to?" Long Ming asked. Meng Zhi nodded as she took out a small bottle.


    " This is the powdered version of the grass you gave to me. However, what are you going to do?"


    " Well, Don''t worry, You will know soon." Long Ming smiled. " For now, Call all the Jade ss girls along with Xiao''er."


    Soon, The girls stood in line as they looked at Long Ming. Xiao''er wore the dress made for her as she appeared beside Long Ming.


    " Now, Xiao''er, You are looking beautiful." Long Ming smiled. " However, Just looks are nothing. You also need a matching personality."


    " Go on Try making a seductive expression."


    Xiao''er thought for a moment as she slowly adjusted her expression. She winked at Long Ming as she gave a cheesy smile.


    " Right, Just like that, but you can do better." Long Ming pped the butt of Xiao''er with her fan. " Let your body go in the flow. Feel the character. Think you a demoness who will suck the energy of countless men."


    Long Ming''s words were soft and sweet. However, They carried a powerful momentum. Xiao''er nodded as her expression adjusted.


    When Long Ming gave another spank on her butt, her eyes narrowed as she nibbled her lips seductively.


    " ve is Master''s ything. I shall obey whatever Master asks."


    Everyone in the hall became stunned. Xiao''er acted like a lowly girl without any power. However, the seductive aura around her increased through her dress and her expressions.


    Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva as he nodded. " Good! Very good."


    " Just like that, All the best of Red uque girls need to learn the actions of different characters." Long Mingughed. " And don''t worry, I shall be the one teaching you."


    The day swiftly passed as it was already afternoon. Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she couldn''t help but smile a little.


    " You must be bored here. Why not take a walk outside?"


    " Hmm, Now you say, I never visited the Grand Sky City." Long Ming''s eyes shone. " Indeed. Let''s go!"


    Mu Qinglian wore a very elegant green dress as she looked like a fairy. She slowly wore a veil as she walked beside Long Ming. Long Ming waved the Plum Blossom Fan as he looked around with curious eyes.


    The Eternal Spring Tower is located in the Grand Sky City, one of the major cities of the Holy Qilin Empire. In another way, this city is famous for itsmerce and entertainment.


    As Long Ming and Mu Qinglian walked in the spacious street, they attracted many eyes.


    " Wow, This looks so fantastic! Both sides of the road are filled with all sorts of shops. It looks so lively."


    " Hehe, It looks like you are impressed." Mu Qinglian nodded.


    As they walked, they suddenly saw a ce where a huge crowd gathered.


    " Damn it! Even he failed!"


    " Aiiz!, This test is harder than it looks."


    Long Ming and Mu QInglian became curious as they walked there. An old man sitting there in ordinary clothes. In front of him was an old zither and a small chart.


    The chart looked like a painting of clear skies and mountains. And there are also some words written on it. The old man looked at everyone as he sighed. " I am telling you again. You need to y the tune written in the chart "


    " If you managed to unlock this chart, You will get 100 Middle grade spirit stones."


    " Whoa! A hundred middle grade spirit stones?" Someone shouted.


    " Heh, Don''t get enticed, Little brother." A middle aged manughed. " This old man was sitting here sincest week. Many people tried and yed the best tune they got. However, they couldn''t induce any phenomenon in the scroll."


    As Long Ming and Mu Qinglian watched the show, the crowd parted as a youngster walked in. He wore extravagant clothes with a longsword on his waist, His eyes shone when he saw Mu Qinglian.


    " How delightful it is to meet Fairy Mu of Four Seasons Valley here."


    Mu Qinglian''s eyes squinted when she saw that. " Li Bing, What are you doing here."


    " Well, I was doing my sect business." Li Bing shrugged. " But, I saw you from afar. So, I couldn''t help bute to greet you. You are looking even gorgeous under the veil."


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Li Bing. A single word came in his mind.


    Hah, Simp!


    Li Bing''s eyes narrowed when he saw Long Ming beside Mu Qinglian. " Fairy Mu, This brother is¡­"


    " My friend. His name is Long Ming." Mu Qinglian replied shortly as her gaze returned to the old man and the zither.


    Li Bing gave a crooked expression as he also looked at the old man. " You all are just fools, can''t see the profundity of the painting."


    " I will show you how to y zither properly." Heughed as he sat before the zither. " Senior, May I try?"


    The old man nodded, " Go ahead."


    Li Bing smiled. " Many of you can''t see the tune etched in the painting because your attainment in music is shallow. Only a person with powerful perception can see the hidden lyrics in the mountain and clouds of this painting."


    *ZHENG ZHENG!*


    Li Bing smiled at Mu QInglian. " Miss Mu, I hope you like this."


    After that, he started to y the zither.


    However, Long Ming chuckled as a Daily Quest appeared before him.


    [ Earth 10 Middle grade spirit stones in 6 hours!]


    Back in Eternal Spring Tower, a person entered Long Ming''s room stealthy. Suddenly, a pant lying on the bed caught her attention.

 Chapter 19: Slapping Blissful Heaven Temples Disciples

    Chapter 19: pping Blissful Heaven Temple''s Disciples


    " Li Bing, He is from Six Sword Pavilion. I was one of my pursuers." Mu Qinglian chuckled. Long Ming looked at Li Bing as he nodded.


    " His zither ying skills are good. Unfortunately, he isn''t going to seed."


    *ZHENG ZHENG!"


    Li Bing yed the zither as mist appeared around him. The mist condensed into clouds as a gentle wind blew. The scenery became attractive to anyone watching and listening to his music.


    The old man was sitting there with his eyes closed as he heard the music. However, Long Ming could notice a sigh of disappointment in his breath.


    As Li Bing''s music became powerful, the scene around him became stronger. However, the chart remained the same as usual, without any changes. Li Bing''s expression turned ugly as he got up.


    " Child, Your music was good. But it wasn''t enough." The old man spoke..


    " How is that possible!" Li Bing shouted. " I yed the music and even induced the Cloud and Skies phenomenon!"


    " Not enough."


    Damn it!" He cursed as he got up. " You must be a crook!"


    " Alright, We already anticipated this ending." Long Ming spoke as he walked beside Li Bing. " Now, If you please, stand in the side and let me y the zither."


    " Hmph, I, The renowned disciple famous for my zither skill couldn''t do it. You think you are better than me?" Li Bing snorted.


    Long Ming nodded.


    " Of course. I AM better."


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as he nced at the chart. The clouds and mountains appeared before his eyes as they tumbled. The cloud moved and the mountain copsed, turning into a string of letters.


    Long Ming used his Heavenly Comprehension Heart as he used his music skills. cing his fingers on the strings, he started ying the zither.


    Suddenly, the murmuring crowd became silent as Long Ming''s music floated out. The old man who was sitting with his eyes closed, woke up as he looked at Long Ming with disbelief.


    Suddenly, the chart buzzed as the mountain and clouds moved in them. A swirl of runes appeared around Long Ming as he yed the zither.


    " My god! Look at that!"


    " What a grand phenomenon!"


    Long Ming''s hand moved fluidly as he immersed himself in the tune. The mountains and clouds appeared around him as the crowd felt like there was standing on a cliff, where clouds are blowing against their body.


    *CHI CHI*


    The chart moved as a golden colored ball oozed out from it and shot at Long Ming''s eyebrows. Long Ming was startled as he stopped ying it. The old man was startled as he looked at the chart.


    " Hahaha! Good! It is unlocked!" The old manughed loudly. " Don''t worry, Kid. That golden ball of light is something beneficial for your soul."


    Long Ming got up and bowed. " Thank you senior, For your generosity."


    " En, You are good." The old man smiled as he threw Long Ming a ring. " Your reward: one hundredMid grade Spirit stones. Also, there is an additional gift for you."


    The old man held the zither and scroll as heughed. " If fate permits, we shall meet again."


    Saying that, he simply vanished from his position. The crowd was stunned when they saw that.


    " Spatial maniption? I didn''t even sense a trace of True Qi."


    " Damn it! Could it be, That man was a Nine Spirit Transformation stage cultivator?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he wore the spatial ring. He could see the middle-grade spirit stones along with a silver token in the spatial ring.


    " Well, Since the show is over, I don''t think we should stay here." Long Ming utterly ignored Li Bing as he held Mu Qinglian''s hand.


    Mu Qinglian was stunned as she followed Long Ming. " You¡­ You never said you can y zither so well."


    " Well?" Long Ming shrugged. " Are you forgetting? I clearly told you that I am proficient in all four arts."


    [ Ding! Hostpleted Daily Quest! Host gets a Dark Gold rank Battle Art: Nine Ocean Folding Palm]


    Long Ming grinned when he saw that. As they walked, both Mu Qinglian and Long Ming suddenly stopped when they saw a banner.


    " Eternal Spring Tower has closed its business! The Blissful Hall is the winner!"


    Long Ming could notice the disciples wearing Blissful Heaven Temple''s uniform as they chattered around.


    " Did you hear? Eternal Spring Tower closed its business."


    " Haha, How can theypete with our Blissful Hall?"


    " Indeed. I can''t wait when all their girlse under our Blissful Hall."


    " Heh, Who would ept those cheap bitches?"


    Long Ming saw Mu Qinglian trembling in anger as she heard those remarks. Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    '' The lowest of them was at the peak of Violet Pce Expansion realm. Not to mention, there are two True Core Formation stage disciples.'' Long Ming gauged their strength.


    However, a smile crept on his face as heughed. '' Who said I just need to fight with them to defeat them?"


    Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush and poured his Fragrant Yin Qi into it.


    With a stroke, the jade brush shone with liquid pink light. Long Ming looked at the sky as he casually made some strokes as he activated the Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth.


    *WHOOOOSH!*


    The passerby paused as they suddenly saw a swirl of pink qi in the air. Suddenly, words appeared out of thin air as they shone with an attractive pink-colored light.


    Lowly Dogs Die for the Bliss


    The True Gentlemen Awaits for the Spring


    Bliss Is Temporary


    Spring Is Eternal


    When the words shed out, everyone couldn''t help but pause and look at the letters. The Fragrant Yin QI in the letter was very attractive as the viewers felt strangely refreshed after reading that.


    There is already a crowd gathered to see the banner of Blissful Heaven Temple. However, now, their focus was on the words shing in midair.


    " Lowly men die for the Bliss, A True gentleman wait for Spring¡­Hahaha!"


    " Nice! Very Nice!"


    "It''s like Eternal Spring Tower isn''t going to back down either."


    The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple were enraged when they saw the words.


    " Who! Which bastard did this!"


    " Which bastard cursed our Sect!"


    Long Mingughed when he heard. " It looks like these fellow Daoists became confused. Which sect are you from?"


    The disciple snorted as he answered. " Can''t you notice? We are from Blissful Heaven Temple."


    " Ah, I see." Long Ming waved his Flum Blossom Fan as he gave a nod. " But, I think my eyesight is wrong. Why can''t I see anyone ndering Blissful Heaven Temple?"


    " Brat, Are you ying with us?" One of the Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples snorted. " You think we are blind? You think we can''t see how you ndered our sect?"


    " I only wrote the word Bliss though." Long Ming pondered. " Ahhh! So, you think I implied the Blissful Heaven Temple?"


    " Of course!."


    Three of them shouted. Mu Qinglian was about to intervene. But Long Ming stopped her with his paper fan.


    " Well, Since fellow daoists of Blissful Heaven Temple thinks that yous ect owns the word Bliss¡­ Then, Won''t that mean If a Sect''s name was Celestial Heaven Sect, they will own the heaven and earth?"


    " You!!"


    " You are twisting the words!"


    Long Ming shrugged. " Why would I? I merely felt inspired and wrote some words. But, It looks like the Blissful Heaven Temples disciples only engage in mortal carnal pleasure, unable to see through the artistic poems.:


    " Bastard! How dare you!"


    One of the disciples brandished his sword as he pointed at Long Ming. " Oh, You want to fight against me?" Long Ming chuckled.


    " So what!" The disciple snorted angrily. " Since you dared to spout bullshit get ready to lose your arms and legs!"


    Long Ming took out his jade brush as he suddenly wrote a new set of words again.


    Congrattions to Blissful Heaven Temple for surpassing the Imperial Laws of the Holy Qilin Empire. Now, They don''t need to follow any rules.


    When the words floated out, the disciples of the Blissful Heaven Temple became surprised.


    Wasn''t Long Ming just cursing at them before? What happened now? Why is he suddenly praising them?"


    Long Ming gave a light bow. " Since fellow Daoists are from such a great sect, A lowly person like myself can''t stay here." Qinglian, Let''s go."


    " Huh?" Mu Qinglian was startled. " Really? We are going back? Just like that?"


    " Of course!" Long Ming spoke seriously. " Blissful Heaven Temple is even greater than the Imperial Family of Great Qiling Empire. How can wepete with them?"


    As Long Ming spoke that, a row of guards appeared their face was cold. " Where are the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple??


    They noticed the three Blissful Heaven Temple disciples as they snorted. " I see. The Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples got very proud, huh? You don''t need to follow the rules of the city anymore."


    " Why don''t youe with us to the City Guard''s headquarters so we can have a nice chat?"


    When the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple saw the captain of the City Guards of Grandk Sky City, they trembled.


    " No! No sir, It wasn''t us!"


    " That bastard! He is the one who wrote that!"


    Long Ming became confused. " But, Wasn''t it you who told me to write that? You even dared to fight with me in the middle of the city streets, which was forbidden."


    " You can ask everyone here." Long Ming shrugged. " If that is not a disy of power over cityws, then what is it?"


    " I am sure Lord Captain shall uphold the justice for themon folk. After all, you are a righteous person, aren''t you?"


    " Anyway, We should leave. I think you can handle everything alone."


    Long Ming held Mu Qinglian''s hand as he smiled. With a wave of his hands, the liquid pink in the Treasures Jade Brush shot toward the banner of Blissful Heaven Temple as he changed it to¡­


    " Spring is Coming, With many surprises! Do enjoy the Spring with us!"


    The word shone as Long Ming and Mu Qinglian escaped from there. The City Guard Captain was stunned as his gaze fell back on the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple."


    " Damn it, We are fucked!"

 Chapter 20: The Four Banners Stirs The City

    Chapter 20: The Four Banners Stirs The City


    " Thank you, Long Ming."


    Mu Qinglian sighed as she spoke in a low voice. " I was going to teach them a lesson. But then, that would be me bullying juniors."


    " Well, Thanks to them, we will gather an even better crowd.." Long Mingughed. " Shouldn''t we be thankful to the Blissful Heaven Temple? They are even doing free advertisement for us."


    " Hahaha, You are so evil." Mu Qinglian smiled.


    Long Ming was stunned as he looked at her smiling face. Even if she wore a veil, Long Ming knew how attractive she was. She looked extremely beautiful when sheughed.


    " Hmm?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she raised her brows. " What happened? Why are you staring at me?"


    Long Ming gave a gentleugh. " Nothing I was just admiring how beautiful you are."


    " You� Mu Qinglian blushed lightly as she looked away. "You are truly a glib tongue."


    But then, Long Ming''s face turned serious. " Blissful Heaven Temple is too vicious. If we make a single mistake, they will use the chance to devour us entirely."


    Mu Qinglian nodded. " Indeed, It can happen. That''s why we are all depending on you, Long Ming."


    As they returned to the Eternal Spring Tower, they suddenly felt two bursts of auras. Long Ming shuddered when he saw two powerful auras piercing the sky.


    As they hurriedly went there, they saw Meng Zhi and Elder Li Jie was standing face to face.


    " Meng Zhi! Did you close the Eternal Spring Tower for four days? Without even informing the higher-ups in the sect! You broke the sect rules!"


    Meng Zhi snorted. " As far as I remember, I am the administrative of Eternal Spring Tower, not you. I have the power to make decisions here."


    " Hmph, So what! How can you close the business like that? Don''t you know how Blissful Heaven Temple will benefit from this?"


    Meng Zhi shrugged. " Well, I already told you, It was a renovation. What? You don''t want the Eternal Spring Tower to improve?"


    " Bitch!"


    Long Ming was scared when he saw two of them fighting against each other. Li Jie''s aura was surrounded by a weird sense of decay and it was a high momentum.


    As for Meng Zhi, one could see a faint woman''s figure surrounded by fragrant winds and falling flower petals.


    '' Hmm, Lie Jie is from the Autumn branch while Meng Zhi is from the branch of Spring. How amusing. Just their aura can crush me right here. So, This is the power of Harmonization Stage Cultivators, huh?''


    " Hmph! Just wait till I inform Sect Master. I will see how you will survive." Li Jie snorted as she turned around and left. Before she left, she noticed Long Ming and she couldn''t help but give him a re.


    '' That old hag…What is her problem?'' Long Ming couldn''t help but grimace. He certainly didn''t feel good about being eyed by a Harmonization stage cultivator.


    Meng Zhi sighed as she retracted her aura. When she saw Long Ming and Mu Qinglian, she smiled.


    " Aiya, It looks like I made fun of myself before you. My apologies." She smiled. " So, Qingqing, how was your date with Little Brother?"


    " Bah! Sister Meng, How can you say that!" Mu Qinglian blushed as she stomped her feet.


    Long Ming cupped his fist. " Elder Sister, I will definitely work hard to get the best result. I will certainly let you suffer."


    " Aww, I am so thankful I got a caring little brother like you, Long Ming." Meng Zhi hugged Long Ming''s arm as she giggled. " As a reward, How about I tell you some of my stories tonight?"


    Her voice became low and seductive as honey dripped from her lips. Long Ming shuddered as he started to calm down his mind.


    " Alright, That''s enough." Mu Qinglian dragged Long Ming away. "Don''t forget, We still have a lot of things to do."


    " Ah, Yes. Little brother, The items you asked to be made havee. Since they were pretty simple designs, our cksmiths did it perfectly.


    Long Ming nodded. " Very well, The only thing that remains is advertising."


    " We only have one day left! Everyone, Let''s go!"


    Long Ming entered his room as he saw a big empty banner. With a deep breath, he started to paint. His Heavenly Comprehension Heart revolved as the Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth gave him a mysterious power.


    " With this, Let''s see how people won''t being!"


    Four days already passed.


    Long Ming was busy preparing the advertisement banner. And in the night, he cultivated the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Art.


    However, strange enough, he is also having *spring* dreams every night, making his pants ruined one after another.


    First, It was Xiao''er, Then it was Meng Zhi. Now, It was Mu Qinglian. After two nights of wet dreams, Long Ming didn''t even sleep.


    '' What the hell is wrong with me? Am I that of a horndog?'' Long Ming looked at his right palm as he gulped a mouthful of saliva.


    '' Or�Is it the after-effect of the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Art?''


    He stretched his body as he changed his clothes. " Mm, But sure enough, they do be changing bedsheets every day. How considerate."


    " But now�My works are done."


    It was early morning and the Grand Sky City''s market was bustling. However, something was different today.


    People were gathering at ces as they saw huge banners with exquisite paintings. There were flour banners on the four corners of the city.


    " Holy shit! What is this!"


    " Which heavenly saint drew this painting!"


    " Evil! Too demonic!"


    On the banner, a woman was sitting on a couch. She wore scanty clothing. The transparent white garment on her body was sticking to her skin, revealing her supple white skin.


    She got a smirk on her lips as one could see her lightly blushed face along with detailed small beads of sweat gliding on her body.


    She raised her arms lightly as she caressed her hair. One could see her perfect arm, along with her armpits. Not to mention, those detailed feet drawn�On the side, there was a few words.


    " The Four Crimson Flowers of Eternal Spring Tower shall be revealed tonight. The Noble Flower is awaiting for you�


    " UWOOH! What a blessed day to have eyes!"


    " Plus early in the morning. God, my morning wood rose again!"


    A man came running as he huffed. " Hehe, You saw nothing. This is just one of the banners."


    " Huh? You mean there are others?!" People became interested.


    " There are three other banners!"


    A man chuckled. " So, What? They must be the same banners."


    " You dumbass! Didn''t you see the words? There are Four Crimson Flowers! There are three different banners out there!"


    " Holy fuck!" Someone exined. " All three with this level of art?"


    " Yep."


    A middle-aged man coughed as he turned around. " Ahem, I remember I have some work. I shall excuse myself."


    A young man crossed his arm as he nodded.


    " Indeed. These things are too indecent! Fellow brother, can you tell where the three other banners are? So I can avoid going there?"


    " Huh? Why don''t you let me guide you? I won''t take you to those ces at all." A person snorted as he walked forward.


    " Ahaha, No�I don''t want to trouble you. Just tell the locations�


    " HAHAHA!"


    The next banner was on the northern side. There, a mature woman held a steeldle as if she was cooking some food. However, as dress, she wore an apron.


    But she *only* wore an apron, nothing under that, That sexy apron only covered a lttle of her front body, leaving her hips and thighs open. With her tied brown hairs and seductive eyes, it ignited a me among the men.


    " Eternal Spring Tower shall be serving some delicious food tonight. Hope guestse and taste it~"


    " Damn it! So fierce!"


    " Eternal Spring Tower is ying big this time!"


    The third one was acute neko cosy. The people who saw that felt perhaps it was a girl from Beast Tribe. With her fists acting like paws and her fluttering cat tails, her tongue was lightly out as she looked at the onlooker with her cat like eyes.


    " Nyaaa~ Dear guests, Pleasee to Eternal Spring Tower tonight Miao Mioa is waiting for master, UwU~"


    (First time writing UwU outside of discord…No, I didn''t mean that I write UwU in discord frequently. Nope, not at all)


    However, thest banner was most thought provoking. It depicted a martial artist woman, wore a white robe. She had a dignified expression as she held her sword.


    However, as a person eyes descend down below her face, they could see several slits in that white martial robe, exposing a great deal of her skin and leaving nothing to imagine.


    The most irresistible thing was the slightly raised front slit that covered her crotch. The onlooker could see that she didn''t wear any underwear. Also, the slit was also raised, as if it was getting blown by the wind.


    However, they couldn''t see the scenery, the spring garden. It felt like a cat violently scratching their heart.


    " Shameless! Which bastard drew this!"


    " Fucker! Let us see! I need answers!"


    " Look at the words!"


    <You wish to see this dignifieddy? Hmph! You think I will show you? You can onlye and try your luck in Eternal Spring Tower this evening>


    " Your mother! I am going there tonight!"


    " Indeed! I should also go! Let me see what these guys prepared in four days!"


    " Eternal Spring Tower, I aming!"


    For the whole day, people flocked to the four corners of the city to look at the banners. A person who saw one banner, couldn''t resist the urge to see the other three.


    In just an hour, Eternal Spring Tower became a hot topic in Grand Sky City. Everyone seemed to be talking about it. The Eternal Spring Tower is going to have a grand re-opening this evening.


    Here, in Eternal Spring Tower, Long Ming finally opened the seal on the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes.


    Suddenly, a rich aroma of wine spread across the entire building.


    " You cooked well."

 Chapter 21: Uproar in The Eternal Spring Tower!

    Chapter 21: Uproar in The Eternal Spring Tower!


    As the evening fell, The Grand Sky City was illuminated bynterns and lights. The entire city turned bustling at night as various shops opened, weing the nightlife.


    Crimson papernterns hung around Eternal Spring Tower as it glowed. With an amazing firework, the Eternal Spring Tower opened its doors.


    " Wee to the Eternal Spring Tower. Hope all the guests enjoy the night!"


    A flood of crowd entered the building as everyone was curious. However, when they entered the building, they couldn''t help but be surprised.


    It looked more spacious than before. It seems Eternal Spring Tower discarded many things. However, there are also many new things there, the ones they never saw.


    " Wee! Wee! Esteemed guests, please have a seat and enjoy someplimentary."


    " Tonight''s special, Fried Fish Fillets with Sweet and Spicy Sauce and our Honey Brew Wine."


    The men took their seats as they looked around them. They noticed the girls of the Eternal Spring Tower all wore simr dresses, like a uniform. They wore a strange ck and white design with short skirts.


    With a smile on their face, they chatted and ttered all the guests. With a slight ttering, any man would be happy. Not to mention, the maid''s attitude was simply pleasant.


    " Fried Fish Fillet? Is this a new dish?"


    " I need to try!"


    Soon, the maids brought the tes as they served all the guests the food and wine. As a person took a bite, they couldn''t help but get surprised.


    " Marvelous! Simply Amazing!"


    " Mmm! It is crispy. But it is also like melting in my mouth."


    However, a fierce debate broke out between the guests.


    " The sweet sauce is better! It gives such a mellow taste!"


    " Nope! The spicy sauce! It goes well with this fried fish!"


    " No! Sweet!"


    " Nope! Spicy!"


    As they chatted, they ordered more and more. Not to mention, Eternal Spring Tower already said that these are free food. So, why anyone would stay behind?


    As the crowd talked, some people already started having ulterior motives.


    Suddenly, A young man threw the cup of wine on the floor as heughed. " Honey Brew Wine? Bah, it tastes nd! With this dish, only the Blissful Hall''s Blissful Wine is fitting!"


    " Indeed! Blissful Wine is better than this Honey Brew Wine!"


    " Hehe, To think Eternal Spring Tower is just selling their old medicines in a new bottle! They only talk big. But there is no improvement at all."


    As their voice echoed, the crowd also stirred. Many of them also felt that the Honey Brew Wine was a badbo with the Fried Fish Fillets.


    " Indeed, It is not going well."


    " Huuu, But I really wanted to taste a new wine."


    Suddenly, Meng Zhi walked out and pped her hands. " Esteemed guests, I think you all are dissatisfied with our wine?"


    " Yes! Yes!"


    " We are, Indeed!"


    Meng Zhi smiled. " Thisdy apologizes. I hope you all will love the new wine."


    " However, Unlike the food, the wine is paid for. You all will get only one ss free, to take a taste. I hope guests shall not mind this woman."


    Soon, the maids walked out as they all carried golden tes with wine jars and jade cups.


    They poured one cup per guest swiftly. Soon, the room filled with a rich aroma of wine.


    " What a strong smell! I like it!"


    " Mm! I can get intoxicated by the smell alone!"


    " Brothers! Cheers!"


    " In the name of new wine!"


    " Cheers!"


    The moment everyone took a sip, they all froze in their ce. The moring hall suddenly turned calm and silent. One could even hear the sound of their collective breaths at this point.


    Most of them closed their eyes as they savored the wine in their mouth and in their heart.


    " This fiery feeling¡­ It is like standing under the warm sun. I can feel my whole body filled with a strange sense of¡­forting heat."


    " But the next moment¡­" Another person added. " I can feel the burning sensation slowly turnint into coolness. It''s as if I jumped in a cold pool of water amidst in hot summer. The coolness is refreshing."


    " Impossible! How can I feel both heat and cold at the same time!"


    " But this wine is very rich in taste. Even my True Qi is stirring due to it."


    " More!"


    A middle aged man fiercely looked at a nearby maid. " I need more wine!"


    " Gentlemen, This wine is ourtest brewed wine. It is called Song of Summer and Winter. A jar of it with only¡­ 1 mid grade spirit stone!" Meng Zhi smiled brightly.


    " Impossible!" The disguised disciple of Blissful Heaven Temple got up as he protested. " One mid grade spirit stone per jar? This is daylight robbery!"


    " Eternal Spring Tower is scamming the masses!"


    However, contrary to their words, the crowd remained silent this time. Suddenly, a person stood up as he spoke. " Two jars of Song of Summer and Winter, please!"


    Another person stood up and spoke, " Such a special wine¡­ I think they don''t have much of it. Therefore, I will buy three jars!"


    After these two voices, many of the guests were stirred. A limited-edition wine? No, they must buy it!"


    " One jar for me!"


    " Two jars for me!"


    Meng Zhi smiled. " Well, Fellow daoists, you can also buy in cups. Each cup costs fifty low grade spirit stones only!"


    " Is that so! Haha, Although I can''t buy a whole jar, A few cups would be ok, no?"


    " Four cups of wine, please!


    " Me too! Me too!"


    The Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples felt their cheeks burning when they saw the scene. His fellow disciple looked around as he gritted his teeth.


    " Four cups here also."


    " What?" The second disciple was shocked. " Fellow brother, How can you¡­"


    " Shut up. We are currently in disguise." The first disciple snorted.


    " And, don''t tell me you didn''t like the wine?"


    " That¡­"


    " Then, shut up and drink!"


    Meng Zhi grinned ear to ear as she looked at everyone from the upper floor. " Little brother, It looks like your n is working."


    Long Ming fanned himself with his Peach Blossom Fan as heughed, " How can it not work? Food and wine, which man can turn his face away?"


    " Not to mention¡­" Meng Zhi looked at the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple. " You were right. Some rats really trying to stir trouble."


    " Don''t worry, Indirectly, They are helping us." Long Ming chuckled as he turned his head.


    " Mm¡­ Xiao''er, you can stop massaging me."


    Xiao''er bowed as she nodded. " As you say, Young Master."


    Long Ming nodded asughed. " Now, your time hase. Go and do your part."


    " Yes¡­"


    She bowed and walked away.


    Suddenly, a young man wearing an expensive robe stood up. " Ten jars! I want ten jars of Song of Summer and Winter!"


    "Esteemed guest, I don''t think that is possible¡­" A maid bowed as she apologized.


    " What? Do you know who am I?" The youth snorted. " I am Ning Shaoyu! The young master of Ning Family!"


    Meng Zhi looked at the scene as she sighed. " I guess everything is like you predicted."


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Remember¡­ To gain long term goals, you need to sacrifice small time profits."


    Meng Zhi''s figure faded as she appeared before Ning Shaoyu. " Young Master Ning, you are our valuable guest."


    " However, due to the sake of fairness, We shall only sell five jars to a single person." Meng Zhi smiled.


    " Young Master Ning is a gentleman. I am sure you can understand."


    Ming Shaoyu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Meng Zhi. He knew it is unwise to stir trouble in Eternal Spring Tower.


    " Fine, Five jars. I need five jars then."


    Meng Zhiughed. " Well, Young Master Ning, don''t be angry. You better preserve your money for better things."


    " Better things?"


    Not only Ning Shaoyu but also all the guests were startled. Something even better than this wine?"


    Suddenly, thenterns in the hall blew out as darkness shrouded everyone. As everyone suddenly got panic stricken, the Night Pearls lit up as they worked as a spotlight.


    The hall was divided by a wide path as guests sat at the table on both sides. The spotlight focused on the wide path as a woman came walking by.


    " Look! It is her!"


    " The woman on that banner! Look at her dress!"


    " Mhm! What a cleverly made dress. That white satin dress with that deep cut showed her chest and her busts. That transparency¡­ Oh gosh!"


    " Too good!"


    Xiao''er walked along with that woman as she bowed. She also wore a fiery dress, provoking the thoughts of many men.


    " Tonight, the First Crimson Flower, the Widow of Noble Family. Miss Lin is a widow who has been lonely for years."


    " Therefore, is there any gentleman here who can give her a warm night?" Xiao''er smiled deviously. " A mature, charming, yet lonely beauty¡­.Any of you wishing to give her some moments of happiness?"


    " Of course, Only a rich and talented person shall apany her. So¡­"


    " 100 low grade spirit stones!"


    " 500 low grade spirit stones!"


    " 1 mid grade spirit stone!"


    " 5 mid grade spirit stones!" Ning Shaoyuughed as he got up. " Miss Lin, Will you apany me to talk about moons and flowers?"


    " Seven mid grade stones!"


    " Who!" Ning Shaoyu''s expression changed. " Who is unting their wealth in front of me!"


    " Well, Ning Family isn''t the overlord here. Ning Shaoyu, you better tone down."


    Ning Shaoyu recognized him. " Qi Sha! It''s you! Hmph! Ten mid grade spirit stones!"


    " Twenty!"


    " Thirty!"


    " Fifty" Ning Shaoyu gritted his teeth. " Is there any more? Qi Sha! Admit defeat!"


    " Hmph! Consider this as your lucky day!"


    Ning Shaoyuughed as Xiao''er bowed. " Is there anyone who would like to increase the bid? If no¡­"


    " Congrattions, Young Master Ning. I hope you enjoy your time with Miss Lin."


    " Haha! Good! Very good!" Ning Shaoyuughed as he got up. " Miss Lin, Let''s not waste time, shall we?"


    After Miss Lin and Ning Shaoyu left, the Neko Girl came out next. This time, the bidding was even fiercer. It settled for 70 mid grade spirit stones.


    Long Ming sat on the balcony as heughed. He drank a cup of wine as he leaned back.


    " Let the money flow in¡­"

 Chapter 22: A Lavish Life of A Young Master

    Chapter 22: A Lavish Life of A Young Master


    As the time passed, the auction of both girls ended. Xiaon''er announced that the remaining two shall be auctioned off tomorrow.


    " Aiiz, Eternal Spring Tower is good at teasing us, huh?"


    " Haha! But today, I am very satisfied. I shall visit Eternal Spring Tower tomorrow."


    " Good! Very good!"


    Meng Zhi walked toward the center and smiled.


    " To all the esteemed guests, We are d to serve you. However, There is an important announcement to make."


    " From now on, The first fifteen floors shall be opened to the general public. There shall be no indecency, not any sort of promiscuous things. It will be our new restaurant that will give you the best quality food and wine. It shall remain open both day and night."


    " Therefore, We shall be waiting for your arrival tomorrow."


    Meng Zhi''s announcement yet created another uproar. As the night passed, all the guests spent money like water.


    Long Ming already fell asleep as he was too bored to watch people flirting with courtesans.


    However, as he was lying in his room, a figure shed as a person appeared in his room. It was none other than Xiao''er. As she tip toed into her room, her eyes shed with a dreamy light when she saw Long Ming sleeping.


    " Young Noble Long¡­Why are you so handsome?" Xiao''er bit her lips as she approached Long Ming. As she stood beside Long Ming, she opened his robe, revealing his masculine chest.


    Lowering her head she started to kiss his chest.


    " Haah! I¡­ I don''t know why am I doing this. Why are you so attractive?" Xiao''er mumbled as she kissed Long Ming''s chest, his neck, all over his lips.


    She personally saw Long Ming drinking almost ten cups of wine. Not to mention he was sleeping soundly, which made Xiao''er even bolder


    " Mm¡­"


    The breath of wine escaped from Long Ming''s mouth as his body twitched. However, he was really sleeping deeply. Xiao''er kissed his lips as their tongues interwind.


    '' Sweet¡­.Why does it feel so sweet?'' Xiao''er felt her heart thumping wildly as she kissed Long Ming. After a while, she paused as their lips parted. As Xiao''er tried to regain her control, her eyes fell on Long Ming''s pants.


    " This¡­ This bulge¡­"


    Xiao''er gulped as her face turned slightly red. She clenched her fist as she stretched her hand as she held Long Ming''s pants. Slowly, she pulled down Long Ming''s pants.


    As his pants came down, Long Ming''s little dragon sprang out. Since Long Ming was sleeping, the simtion already turned his little brother rock hard.


    '' This¡­ This is so big!" Xiao''er gulped a mouthful of saliva as she clutched Long Ming''s rod. She could feel the veins pop on it as it throbbed hard. Her index finger stuck out as she started to rub his spear tip. She could already feel a bit of stickiness from there.


    " No! I¡­ I must calm down myself." Xiao''er bit her lips as she pulled back Long Ming''s pants as looked away. '' No matter what, I can''t do this¡­ Not till Young Master permits." She mumbled.


    However, before going back, she kissed Long Ming again. Hurrying her steps, she turned around and left.


    As the sun rose, Long Ming yawned as he got up. His expression turned stiff as he saw his pants were sticky again.


    '' Fuck! Just how many wet dreams I am having?'' He cursed in his mind as he got up. Since he has a permanent spatial ring now, he threw his pants in it and got a new pants.


    '' Mm¡­ I guess it is only natural that it will happen. I am staying in a goddamn brothel without doing anything at all.'' Long Ming pondered.


    As it was already morning, the customers in the night already left. Long Ming came down the stairs.


    " Aha! Little brother already woke up, huh?" Meng Zhi grinned as she appeared beside Long Ming. Holding his arms, she kissed his cheeks. " Good morning."


    " Ah! Good Morning, Sister Meng." Long Ming was startled as he nodded. However, getting kissed by Meng Zhi really felt good.


    " Well, Thanks to you, we earned bigst night." Meng Zhiughed as she pped her hands. Soon, maids holding small boxes appeared before them as they opened those boxes/


    " We earned around 100,000 mid grade spirit stones in one night! It''s a record across the years!"


    Long Ming was startled when he heard that. " Well? That is around, 100 high grade spirit stones, right?"


    " Well, You are right."


    Long Ming walked forward as he spoke. " Can I hold them?"


    " Haha, Sure! These are from your effort after all."


    Long Ming put all the boxes in his spatial ring. Then, he opened his system window and saw the Main Quest progress bar.


    [ Main Quest: Earn One Million High grade Spirit stones in 14 days]


    [ Progress: 100/10,00,000]


    [Time Remaining: 10 Days]


    Long Ming nodded as he returned all the spirit stones to Meng Zhi. " It is good, but far from enough. Tonight''s event must be even greater thanst night''s."


    " Indeed, It will be." Meng Zhi smiled. " After all, Not only do we still have two of our Crimson Flowers remaining¡­ We will open the Gambling Event tonight also."


    " Also, Commercialize the Song of Summer and Winter." Long Ming spoke. " As I said before, we are going to sell the diluted version of it in the restaurant."


    " Alright." Meng Zhi nodded as she handed a pouch to Long Ming. " Here, Your reward. You have been working for days without rest. You should rx a bit."


    " After all, Eternal Spring Tower is made to rx after all." Meng Zhiughed. " Girls, go and apany Young Master in his bath."


    " Well¡­"


    Long Ming rubbed his eyes as he felt like all the courtesans around him got their eyes lit up.


    " Huhuhu, If I didn''t have to report to the Sect Master, I would have apanied you, Little brother." Meng Zhi winked. " s, some other day, I guess."


    " Hehe, Sister Meng really knows how to y with a man''s heart, huh?" Long Ming chuckled. However, pushing aside the crowd, Xiao''er walked forward.


    " Elder Meng, I wonder if I can help Young Master in his bath?" She bowed. Meng Zhi raised her brows. " Well, That depends on his decision."


    Long Ming became embarrassed as he looked at Xiao''er. He felt even more awkward because of a strange dreamst night, where he and Xiao''er¡­


    '' Well¡­ It is just taking a bath, right? It is what the nobles do usually. So, there is no problem at all.'' Long Ming exined to his heart with a very earnest expression.


    '' Uh Huh, I totally believe you.'' His heart replied.


    '' Well, Since you are approving, How can I say no?" Long Ming disregarded the utter sarcasm in his heart as he sighed. " Fine, Xiao''er¡­ You can do it."


    Xiao''er gave a cheeky smile as she showed the way. " Come with me, Young Master."


    Xioa''er took Long Ming back to his room as she stood behind him. " Young Master Long, The water is already ready. Shall I help you change clothes?"


    " Mhm¡­"


    Long Ming stretched his arms as Xiao''er started to loosen his robes. Without dying much, Long Ming''s robe fell on the ground as he was only wearing a short inner garment.


    Xiao''er felt her breathing turn a bit heavy as her palms gently caressed Long Ming''s body. Without saying anything, she turned around.


    " Please, Enter the bathroom. I wille in a minute."


    Long Ming nodded as he walked to the bathroom. Taking off his undergarment, he got into the tub of warm water.


    " Ohh, I love this." Long Mingid back as his body rxed. " Warm water, they also added some scented oil in it. Not to mention, I can feel each of my body pores opening."


    " Young Master, May I join?"


    A voice came from his back, but Long Ming didn''t turn back. " Yes, You may." He only replied.


    Suddenly, his breath hitched when he saw Xiao''er entering the bathtub.


    She only wore a white hanfu dudou that tightly covered a small part of her front along with herher region. However, the moment she entered the water, that underwear soaked, turning transparent.


    Long Ming could see that the undergarment was sticking to her ample chest. As she entered the bathtub, she moved behind Long Ming''s back.


    " Let me help you, Young Master."


    As Xiao''er started to scrub his back, Long Ming felt his body heat rising. Not to mention, he was getting an abnormal amount of Fragrant Yin Qi from her.


    He could also feel her mountains getting pressed on his back as she was sitting very close to him. At a point, Long Ming wondered if she was using her hands to scrub his back or her breasts.


    But it was a sensation Long Ming never felt. He finally realized the feeling a Hentai Protagonist feels.


    Thinking all about that, He was already rock-hard. His spear was erect as it was pointing straight in an upward direction. Suddenly, Long Ming froze as he felt a soft palm grasping his little brother.


    " Xiao''er¡­ I¡­"


    Xiao''er warm breath made Long Ming''s ears twitch as she answered. " I was asked to make you rx in the bath. But, I don''t think this guy here is anything but rxed."


    " Since that is the case, I must make you feel good."


    Long Ming felt his body responding to Xiao''er calls as he didn''t move. Xiao''er smiled as she kissed Long Ming''s neck as her hands started to move.


    Suddenly, The situation in the bathroom turned very amorous.


    Xiao''er pulled back Long Ming gently, making him rest on her soft breasts. Here, Long Ming could feel her gentle stroking on his rods along with her lips running over his neck.


    Long Ming felt ecstatic as his breathing turned heavy.


    But suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he finally spoke.


    " What do you want?"

 Chapter 23: Xiaoer Servitude (R-18)

    Chapter 23: Xiao''er Servitude (R-18)


    Xiao''er stopped as she hugged him from behind. " I don''t understand what Young Master means?"


    Long Ming chuckled as heid on Xiao''er bodyfortably. " Well, No need to stop. Go o n, we can chat while you relieve me, no?"


    Xiao''er was stunned as she gave a soft smile. Her hands again started to stroke Long Ming''c cock as the water rippled. Long Ming could feel the softness of her breasts as his head was rested on them.


    " You are showing a bit unnatural infatuation toward me." Long Ming smiled. " I know I helped you a bit. I also know taht I am handsome and elegant. However, what is the reason that you threw yourself on me?"


    " Unless you wish something from me?"


    Long Ming smiled as he turned his head and looked at Xiao''er. Xiao''er expression turned stiff when she heard Long Ming''s words. After saying his words, Long Ming remained silent as he kept looking at Xiao''er as he turned her soft lips.


    "What is it? I am waiting for your answer."


    Xiao''er gave a sigh and looked away. " Eternal Spring Tower¡­ You see, It is much better than the Blissful Hall."


    " At least, The girls aren''t forced to be prostitutes, unlike Blissful Hall. "


    " However, here, thepetition is also fierce. If you don''t have talent, you can only live here by selling your body." Xiao''er exined. " You can either live on your skills or on your body."


    " I was born in a small merchant house. Me and my brother, and our parents, all lived happily. However, one day, my father''s business crashed. He took a loan of 20,000 low grade spirit stones. But with a high interest rate, it reached 50,000 low grade spirit stones."


    Xiao''er sighed. " Our family condition became worst overnight. Not to mention, my father died from sickness afterward. I barely reached the peak of Qi Revolution Realm, not to mention, my brother was only ten years old back then."


    " However, I was talented in arts, I was also beautiful. Therefore, I joined the Eternal Spring Tower. With my talent in calligraphy and tea making, along with my beauty and elegance, I became a top Red que tire courtesan in one go."


    " Thankfully, Eternal Spring Tower gives me food, clothing, and amodation. Therefore, I sent all my earns to my home. Although it was less, It is enough for them to live."


    Xiao''er tone became sad. " However, My brother has grown up and now he wishes to cultivate. I need to earn more money to send him to some sort of academy or sect."


    Long Ming nodded as he sighed in pleasure. Even while talking, Xiao''er didn''t stop stroking Long Ming''s cock. Long Ming suddenly got up as he turned around, facing Xiao''er.


    " Therefore¡­ " Long Ming spoke, " You thought it will be best if you were able to thigh of a noble like me, no?"


    Xiao''er expression didn''t change as she lowered her head, fixing her gaze of Long Ming''s erect rod.


    " Yes, You are correct." Xiao''er started to stroke it again. " There are many reasons for this."


    " First, You are good looking and a gentleman. At least you won''t treat me unfairly."


    " Secondly, even Elder Meng and Saintess Mu treat you so well. Your background must be amazing." Xiao''er pressed herself on Long MIng''s chest, her breasts rubbing on Long Ming''s chest.


    " So, What do you say, Young Master Long? I don''t know when I will lose my importance in Eternal Spring Tower. Therefore¡­ Let me be your bed warming maid."


    " Just¡­ Get me out of here and I will be yours."


    Long Ming looked at Xiao''er as his eyes narrowed. In fact, he was considering Xiao''er offer.


    It wasn''t because he was horni or something, But because it will be much more efficient to have a loyal servant. Not to mention, Xiao''er is already at Violet Pce Expansion Realm stage. She can be a good servant for Long Ming.


    " But, How can I trust you?" Long Ming smiled. " Don''t tell me you are just all talk?"


    " Of course not." Xiao''er shook her head as she bit her finger. A drop of appeared on her finger as it started to hover in the mid air.


    " Using my True Blood, I make an other under the Heavenly Dao that I will be the servant of Young Master Long Ming as long as he doesn''t betray me. If I break my promise, may heaven punish me."


    The drop of blood exploded as it entered the forehead of Xiao''er. Long Ming could see a faint ripple of power with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes. A grin appeared on his face as he looked at the ceiling.


    " Very well, I shall take care of you from now. Xiao''er, but don''t forget to serve me well." Long Ming spoke. " Now, you took too much time, you see. I am already feeling ufortable down there."


    Long Ming chuckled as he pointed at his crotch. His rock hard little brother twitched as it was pointed toward Xiao''er. Xiao''er blushed a bit as she nodded. " Servant understands. I shall make Young Master feel good."


    Suddenly, Long Ming gasped as Xiao''er lowered her body as took off her undergarment. Fondling her ample breasts, a sultry smile appeared on her face as she squeezed Long Ming''s rod between her twin mountains.


    " So, Does Young Master feel good?"


    Xiao''er smirked as she moved her breasts up and down as she gave an amazing paizuri to Long Ming.


    Long Ming''s body shivered as his entire body rxed. He let out a soft breath of pleasure with his closed eyes.


    '' So, This is what power means. If you have power¡­ You can have the entire world on your cock¡­''


    '' Mm, I don''t think I want any males, That sounds mega gay.''


    But then, his expression changed when he saw Xiao''er massage bing faster and faster. Not to mention, her face is lowered and her lips was close to Long Ming''s spear tip.


    " Don''t worry, Master. Xiao''er will serve you well." Xiao''er smiled as her pink tongue stuck out, giving a light lick on Long Ming''s spear tip.


    " Ugh¡­ The situation is too much¡­" Long Ming gasped as his heartbeat sped up. " Xiao''er, I am about to¡­"


    " Mhmhm, Young Master, You can go ahead. Xiao''er won''tin." Xiao''er smiled as her tongue rolled around Long Ming''s spear tip.


    Long Ming''s body quivered as he closed his eyes. Xia''er could feel his cock throbbing hard as she realized Long Ming already reached his limits.


    '' But to think he persisted this long. I thought a handjob would be enough for me. But I had to use my mouth in the end, huh?''


    '' But strange enough¡­ It is not bad as I thought.''


    Suddenly, Xiao''er internal monologue stopped as Long Ming''s cock throbbed. Suddenly, sticky white fluid ejected from Long Ming''s cock it spilled all over Xiao''er breast.


    The quantity was great, it covered all over her breast. Not to mention, a few amounts managed to hit her lips. Xiao''er was stunned by the amount and thickness of Long Ming''s cum as she looked at him.


    Long Ming closed his eyes in rxation as he remained in the water. Xiao''er got up and cleaned her breasts and her face. But still, she could feel the vor of Long Ming''s essence in her mouth.


    '' So, This is how a man''s essence tastes? It''s a bit weird but¡­'' Xiao''er heart was thumping wildly even though she appeared to be calm.


    '' To think that massive thing will ejacte this much. Young Master long is really hiding a monster in his pants, huh?''


    After that, Xiao''er and Long Ming chatted as she cleaned his body. Long Ming got up and stretched his body.


    " A bath is always refreshing, huh?" Heughed. Xiao''er nodded as she wiped her body clean. After that, she helped him put on his robe andbed his hair.


    " Wow, Now I see, Young Master, Your hairs are so long and smooth," Xiao''er spoke. " Even women would be envious of such hairs."


    " Haha, Is that so?" Long Ming chuckled as Xiao''er tied his hair. After practicing the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method, he felt his body grow too much. Not to mention his hairs that were already long enough to cover his shoulders.


    As they walked out, Long Ming froze suddenly. Mu Qinglian was sitting in his room as she peeled a fruit.


    " Ah, So our Young Master Long finally came out after enjoying bathing, huh?"


    She took a bite of that food as she nced at Long Ming. Xiao''er and LOng Mig were already dressed as they stood before Mu Qinglian. Long Ming could also notice Ling''er hissing at Xiao''er.


    " Hmph, It seems like a sly fox managed to sneak up on Young Noble Long." Ling''er snorted.


    " Well, I guess I am certainly better since I am now the personal servant of Young Master. I serve him, unlike to a certain someone who serves a different master." Xiao''er replied with a smile.


    Mu Qinglian and Long Ming sighed when Xiao''er and Ling''er started to bicker. Mu QInglian looked at Long Ming.


    " You did well. Even Sect Master is impressed by the profit made byst night." Mu Qinglian spoke. " Come with me, we need to discuss something in private."


    " Alright." Long Ming nodded.


    Xiao''er only gave him a wink when she saw Long Ming going away. " I will prepare some food and wine before youe back, Young Master."


    Hearing her sultry voice, Long Ming paused as he looked at Mu Qinglian''s face. Although she looked calm, Long Ming could feel utter disdain and anger toward Long Ming.


    " Haah¡­ What is this situation."


    As the day passed, Preparation for the second night started in Eternal Spring Tower.

 Chapter 24: New Games! Disturbance In Auction

    Chapter 24: New Games! Disturbance In Auction


    As the night fell, Long Ming sat among the guests as he watched the crowd of people filling the Eternal Spring Tower.


    " Damn, To think Eternal Spring Tower will open a restaurant. You know, I came here today. They introduced around five new dishes!"


    " What? Five new dishes?" Hurry up and tell us! How did they taste?"


    " I have to say, It was pretty unique. Not to mention, the taste was addictive. I ordered three more servings."


    " Really? Can we order the food now?"


    " Let''s see."


    Long Ming smiled as he saw people ordering the food in Eternal Spring Tower. When Long Ming asked Meng Zhi about this, she informed him that Blissful Hall''s cuisine was much better than Eternal Spring Tower''s.


    Since Long Ming couldn''t improve the quality of the food or get a better chef overnight, he used an underhand method to increase the profit.


    " So, This is the new dish? Golden Shrimp Balls? Made with fresh hundred-year-old shrimps of the Westernke?"


    " Mm, It is really crispy outside and tender inside."


    " How about this? Roasted Demon Boar Kebab?"


    " Oh wow! This tastes great! The charred vor is perfect!"


    As the guests enjoyed the food and wine, Long Ming saw Meng Zhi walking to the center of the stage.


    " Good evening, Everyone. I hope you have been enjoying the food and drinks." Meng Zhi smiled. She wore a sexy robe of red and ck color. Her hair was tied in braids and one could see her sexy thighs from the slits of her dress.


    " Indeed!"


    " The food and wine is perfect!"


    " More! I demand more tes!"


    Meng Zhi smiled. " Well? Although you all like the food here, this isn''t the main attraction today."


    " Tonight, we are opening our gambling exclusive area! Come here and gamble in the way you never thought about!"


    All of the guests were stunned when Meng Zhi announced that. When the guests entered the floor, they were shocked. They saw many big tables, along with many strange machines they never saw.


    " What is this?"


    " What kind of machines are those?"


    Meng Zhi smiled as she pointed at the machine. " This is our new invention. It is called¡­ The Slot Machine!"


    " Guests can exchange their spirit stones with tokens. And, they can use the tokens to spin this machine. There are many symbols here. Once, you get three same types of symbols in a row, you will be able to win ten times on your betting amount!"


    " Then, guests can again exchange the tokens with spirit stones at our counters."


    " Wh-Whoa! This game is amazing, no?"


    " Let me try!"


    The base price of the slot machines is 100 low grade spirit stones. Not to mention, there are seven symbols of seven colors. The violet color trio gives the ultimate price as the red trio gives two times, the orange trio gives three times, the Yellow trio gives four times, etc.


    Also, if one gets two of the same color in a row adjacent to each other, they with get 1.5x their money.


    The rules sounded very generous as they attracted several men instantly.


    Long Ming only smiled as he saw people flocking to the slot machines. They exchanged thousands of spirit stones into tokens as they started ying on the slot machines.


    *TRING TRING*


    The slots spun as everyone looked at the results with eager gazes.


    " Damn! I lost!"


    " Tch, I knew it. My luck is very bad."


    " Whoa! I won two colors in a row! Haha, I am going to get 350 low grade spirit stones!"


    Long Ming sipped the wine as he enjoyed the show.


    " To think you made such an ingenious idea. It is practically the same as robbing the people."


    Long Mingughed as he nced at Mu Qinglian, who was sitting beside him. " Why? I didn''t threaten them to y slots though. They are ying because they wish to."


    " Then, What about the mega prize?" Mu Qinglian asked. " I wonder if someone is going to win it."


    Long Ming shrugged. " What can I say? It all depends on the luck."


    " WHOA! I won a Green Trio! My 400 spirit stones doubled!"


    Long Mingughed as he saw the people plunging into the vicious cycle of slot machines. All the sweet rules are nothing more than traps for the customer.


    For example, assume you spent 100 low grade spirit stones but won the Violet trio. You will get 1000 low grade spirit stones. The man will certainly feel lucky.


    However, at that moment, he will be also depressed. He will ask why he only used 100 low grade spirit stones. If he had better 1000 low-grade spirit stones, he could have gotten 10000 low grade spirit stones.


    The hunger for money, and the greed of winning, all will make him spend his luck to earn 1000 low grade spirit stones.


    However, many cultivators weren''t fools as they could see the slot machines were well disguised scams. But, for them, Long Ming prepared other baits.


    " This is a card game called Pai Gow poker. Since most of you might be unfamiliar, today, we are going to y free for the first ten rounds."


    " This is called Guess the Dice Game!"


    " This called Roulette¡­"


    Mu Qinglian sighed as she saw Long Ming enjoying the scene. Even she couldn''t help but get tempted to y a round or two in the gambling sections.


    " Actually, What you did do with the food?" Mu Qinglian asked in a curious voice. " Although our new dishes taste good, people are ordering a bit¡­too much."


    Long Ming looked around as he whispered. " Well, The food is the same. It''s just I added a bit of addictive stimnt."


    " I got my hands on some thousand year old Hallucination grass. After adding it with another herb, I made a strongly addictive liquid." Long Mingughed. " Then, just a little amount of this liquid, and people will feel like they need more."


    Mu Qinglian was stunned when she heard Long Ming. This method was pretty¡­petty.


    After that, Mu Qinglian saw Long Ming in a new light.


    As the gambling section continued, the main event started in Eternal Spring Tower.


    " Tonight, Our Third Crimson Flower, Miss Hai is looking for apanion who could taste her cuisine and give an honest review."


    Xiao''er spoke in a calm voice as a woman wearing a naked apron, holding a silverdle walked on the ramp. The men starting at her body couldn''t help but whistle at her sight.


    " Marvelous! Simply the finest craft!"


    " Damn! To think such a simple dress will look so¡­Explosive!"


    " The Cat Girlst night was quite good too. I heard the young master that won her say the night was simply exceptional."


    " Damn it, Today, Another fierce battle is going to break out."


    Before Xiao''er could even speak further, someone shouted, " 3 Mid grade Spirit stones!"


    " Five!"


    " Ten!"


    " Twenty!"


    " Thirty!"


    " Eighty!"


    " Whoa!"


    " Is that Han Family Young Master?"


    " Haha, Really? Ny!"


    " One hundred!"


    Mu Qinglian was shocked when the price stopped at one hundred and ten mid grade spirit stones!


    " Dan, Hundred mid grade spirit stones spent like that?" Mu Qinglian pouted. " It''s already the fifth of my monthly allowance."


    " Well, You see, People are full of money." Long Ming spoke. " Naturally, a descendent of a rich family gets to spend more than a sect disciple. Not to mention I am sure you got quite an amount of spirit stones in your hidden stash."


    As they talked, The final Crimson Flower appeared on the stage. The sexy martial artist girl, held a sword as she walked on the stage with a prideful expression.


    " Hmph!"


    She snorted as she waved her sword in an arrogant manner. It was like she was looking at all the men there with disdain.


    " The Finale is here!" Xiao''er waved her hands as she gave a cheerful smile. " The Martial Artist from the north, being destitute and captured. She is seeking a young noble to help her out."


    " Hmph, I only approve of the man who is strong and courageous. Those without strength are trash." The woman snorted as she turned around, Her hips swayed a bit as her perky buttocks were revealed under everyone''s eyes.


    " What a spicy woman."


    " Damn it! All of those bastards must be saving money for this purpose!"


    " I am bidding! I am bidding already!"


    " 10 Mid grade spirit stones!"


    " 30!"


    " 60!"


    " 100!"


    Long Ming nodded when he saw thepetition. He knew what men like. A beautiful, prideful cultivator submitting on their bed without their willingness, this script is too crispy in itself.


    Evoking those bad thoughts in their heart, Long Ming can easily fish out a lot of money from their pockets. Mu Qinglian also smiled as she looked at Long Ming.


    " I guess your n is working a bit too well, huh?"


    As they chatted, something unexpected happened.


    " Hahaha! Foolish peoples! Eternal Spring Tower''s people are despicable scums!"


    Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent as someone shouted those words. A group of people walked forward as they looked at Xiao''er and the cosying woman.


    Sorryyyy for the dy. Extra vhaptr today aspensation.

 Chapter 25: Divine Skill: Talk No Jutsu

    Chapter 25: Divine Skill: Talk No Jutsu


    " Xiao''er was startled as she could see their uniforms. They looked like people from the Orthodox Sects."


    " These guests, Why did you say that?" Xiao''er took a deep breath as she smiled politely. " I hope you don''t nder our ce like that."


    " A lowly courtesan daring to speak?" A young man walked forward as she snorted. Xiao''er body trembled as a powerful pressure fell on her.


    A middle aged man walked as he shouted.


    " Eternal Spring Tower, you dared to mock the dress code of orthodox sects. You shoulde down and give this old man exnation."


    " Exnation, you say?"


    A voice boomed as Meng Zhi appeared before Xiao''er. " I guess you are an Elder from Green Cloud Mountain? Also, disciples from Blissful Heaven Temple and Liu Family, huh?"


    Long Ming and Mu Qinglian sat in the corner as they watched the scene. Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian for rification.


    " You already know about Blissful Heaven Temple. The Green Cloud Sect is a righteous sect that resides in a nearby county. As for Liu Family, that''s the Ministry Family under the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire."


    " Judging from their actions, it looks like they have been waiting for this, huh?" Long Ming spoke as he looked at them."


    Two elders, each from Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Sect. Along with their disciples, there was also the young master of the Liu Family.


    The Elder of the Green Cloud Sect snorted. " You guys posted such scandalous posters across the city. Every day, so many people see such promiscuous things while passing by. Aren''t you ashamed of this?"


    "Not to mention, it depicted a cultivator in such a vulgar way! While she was wearing a dress simr to our sect!" The elder shouted. " If it is not shaming us, then what is it?"


    " Eternal Spring Tower must give an answer to us!"


    The young man from Liu Family also snorted.


    " Promoting such vulgarity, The Eternal Spring Tower should be condemned. Which bastard made such paintings? Such a sacrilege!"


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the scene. Mu Qinglian snorted as she got up.


    " Hmph, These bastards."


    " Wait¡­" Long Ming spoke calmly. " Let me handle it."


    [ Ding! Random Daily Quest is issued! Extort 1000 Mid grade Spirit Stones from your opponent! Reward: 10x Random Treasure Box!]


    Meng Zhi frowned when she heard the argument of the Elder of the Green Cloud Sect. Before she could say anything, Long Ming stepped in.


    " Well, The one who made such disgusting paintings is me, Esteemed elder." Long Ming chuckled as he appeared on the stage.


    " Big Sister Meng, I will handle everything from here, ok?" Long Ming winked. " After all, Since you are here, I don''t need to be afraid of anything."


    Elder from Green Cloud Sect was surprised when he saw Long Ming. " So, It was you. Hmph! You are clearly a young man. How can you engage in such acts?"


    Long Ming gave a lightugh as he waved his Plum Blossom Fan. " Well? Isn''t this the perfect time when we got both energy and time? Elder, don''t tell me you wish young people to sit and cultivate all the time?"


    Before the Elder could say anything, the young master from Liu Family jumped in.


    " Hrious! Since when visiting such ces became the aim of the youths? You are clearly twisting the words."


    Long Ming snorted. " Well, I heard Liu Family is a prestigious family. But now, seeing that their young master is jumping in the conversation before an elder could answer, I am doubting those hearsays."


    " Y-You!!"


    The Elder from Green Cloud Sect coughed. " That''s alright. However, what you said is indeed ambiguous. A righteous sect disciple should polish their dao heart and cultivate their foundation. Not to mention, you even dared to sell our sect uniform as a cheap, lewd material!"


    Long Ming saw a few disciples of the Green Cloud Sect and he couldn''t help but click his tongue. There are some simrities between the Eternal Spring Tower''s courtesans cosy and Green Cloud Sect''s disciples'' uniform.


    " Well, Since that''s the case¡­" Long Mingughed as he took out his treasured jade brush as made a circle in mid-air.


    " Elder, May I ask, What is this?"


    " This is a circle." The elder snorted. " Are you trying to y games with me?"


    Long Ming shrugged. " Circle? I think It''s Moon. Or wait, it might be a bracelet¡­ Big Sister Meng, What do you see?"


    Meng Zhi was startled as she understood Long Ming''s intention. She shrugged, " That looks like a circr te."


    Long Ming shrugged. " Esteemed Elder, Can you refute my answer?"


    " Yo-You!" The Elder was stunned as he looked at Long Ming. " You are ying with words! This can be anything in circr!"


    Long Mingughed. " If you can''t give an answer to such a simple question, then how can you use Eternal Spring Tower for ndering Green Cloud Sect''s uniform?"


    " Just because there are simrities, that doesn''t mean it is the same thing."


    The crowd was enjoying the show as they ordered more and more food and wine from Eternal Spring Tower. Long Ming''s schrly immortal aura was simply too charming for them.


    " Look, How refined he talks! He is a true schr!"


    " Indeed! No wonder he was able to make such beautiful paintings."


    " Hmph! You are clearly spouting bullshit. You are just giving an excuse to get away¡­"


    Long Ming rubbed his forehead. " Hey, Can you tell me your name?"


    " Hah, I am Liu Ye, The third¡­"


    " Brother Liu, Is it?" Long Ming''s tone turned cid. " It seems rather than the Green Cloud Sect, you seems to be more hurt, huh? Could it be, You and Blissful Hall colluded to nder Eternal Spring Tower?"


    " What!"


    Liu Ye shouted as his expression turned angry. " How dare you to nder this young lord like that!"


    Long Ming shrugged. " Well, Didn''t you enjoy the beautifuldies sent by Blissful Hall? I wonder how can you say such a thing now."


    " Brat, You can eat anything you wish, but you can''t say anything as you wish." A middle-aged woman walked as she stared at Long Ming. " Blissful Heaven Temple is much better than this ce."


    " Whoa! Calm down, Aunty," Long Ming was surprised. " I thought the problem was with Green Cloud Sect? Why you guys are getting involved?"


    " Aunty!!? You brat! You¡­"


    " Yes?" Long Ming raised his eyebrow.


    Suddenly, the middle aged woman of Blissful Heaven Temple got startled as she focused her gaze on Long Ming. However, she couldn''t fathom his cultivation at all!


    " Let''s be honest, I am only going to talk with the Elder from Green Cloud Sect. Because you two, I believe you two came here out of prejudice." Long Ming looked at the Elder of the Green Cloud Sect.


    " As I exined, the simrity was only coincidence. If Elder wishes, we can change it immediately." Long Mingughed.


    " What about the banners in the markets!" Liu Ye shouted. " It is polluting the young minds of the Grand Sky City! As a person from the righteous Liu Family, I can''t ept this!"


    Long Mingughed. " Well, Before answering you, I hope Green Cloud Sect understands us. So, Is there anything more we can do?"


    Meng Zhi was impressed by Long Ming''s tactics. Meng Zhi wasn''t afraid of fighting both the elders because this is her territory. But, the development of Eternal Spring Tower might get affected.


    But, Long Ming forced them into a corner by apologizing. Now, what can the righteous sect elder can do? Will they still push forward? Won''t that make them look petty?


    " Hmph! I will see how you will answer Liu Ye," The elder snorted as he looked at Liu Ye.


    " Righteous Liu Family, huh?" Long Ming gave a light snort. " I guess as the third young master from Liu Family, Brother Liu Ye must have quite some literary skills, huh?"


    " Of course!" Liu Ye snorted. " Unlike a chatan who sells vulgar pictures, I am a respected member of the Holy Qilin Literary Committee established by His Highness Second Prince. I am well versed in Painting and Calligraphy."


    " Marvelous!" Long Ming pped. " I am really feeling ashamed of showing my meader expertise in front of you, Brother Liu. I wonder if you can dispel a doubt of mine."


    " What is it?" Liu Ye snorted.


    Long Mingughed as his brush made strokes in the empty air. ck colored ink sttered as Long Ming made a calligraphy painting. Just a few strokes, and he made a painting of a crane standing in ake, with one leg raised slightly above.


    " Clear water and soft breeze, Why the white crane stands with only one leg?"


    The crowd turned silent as they heard Long Ming''s question. Even the elders started to think hard about the answer. Clearly, it should be an artistic question. So, what could be the answer?


    " Oh, Since we already came this way¡­ How about we bet some money?" Long Mingughed. " Nothing much, Just 1000 Mid grade spirit stones."


    Liu Ye frowned when he heard Long Ming''s question. But then, he smirked. " Obviously, The will of Heaven and Earth. They made crane in that way, turning it into his nature."


    The entire hall was silent as Liu Ye replied. It wasn''t like Liu Ye was a genius or others were dumb. Most of them guessed that answer, but wouldn''t that be¡­too in?"


    " In my opinion¡­" Long Ming smiled. " The crane knows that one of its feet is already in the mud. However, it still aspires to be free from the mundane ways, keeping one leg outside of the water."


    " ws are what makes humans human. You are saying the pictures are vulgar and affect the mind? Why did only you see the w while everyone else admired it? Long Ming scoffed.


    " Because everyone epts their desires as they came here. Even they are in this mundane mud, they wish to be above the water."


    " However, you¡­" Long Mingughed as his fan snapped closed. " You are just a hypocrite who uses righteousness as a veil! If epting desire is vulgar, then perhaps are you a saint. A Heavenly Immortal?"


    " You¡­Disgust me!"


    Liu Ye was stunned as a dao rhythm erupted from Long Ming''s body. His faint ethereal aura seeped into the surroundings as pink colored fragrant qi circled around his paper fan.


    In that instant, he looked like an Immortal Schr giving a lecture to mortals.


    '' Hehe, I alreadyid a trap for you with my talk no jutsu. You can''t do jack-shit to me.'' Long Mingughed in his heart.


    ''If you still dare to attack, then your reputation will go down the drain. I can also take down the Blissful Hall''s name.''


    But then, a Green Cloud Sect''s disciple dashed toward Long Ming.


    " He is just a swindler! Get him!"


    Long Ming''s heart shook when he saw that.


    '' Crap!''


    His body moved in reflex as his Plum Blossom Fan spread out. The Green Cloud Sect''s Elder eyes shed with an rming gaze.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi shed as the plum blossoms scattered on the paper fan came into reality. The fan directly hit the chest of the disciple as Long Ming identally used his Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm.

 Chapter 26: Power of Fragrant Yin Qi

    Chapter 26: Power of Fragrant Yin Qi


    The Plum Blossom Fan was activated as Long Ming''s Fragrant Yin Qi erupted. Everyone suddenly felt they could smell something fragrant. Petals of plum blossoms scattered around Long Ming as he retaliated.


    *BOOOM!*


    A powerful gust of pink wind burst as Long Ming''s fan pped that person''s chest. The disciple of the Green Cloud Sect felt like someone threw an entire mountain on his chest.


    With a booming sound, a maelstrom of plum blossom petals appeared at it and swatted the disciple away. The disciple git shot back like a cannonball he mmed into the wall.


    " KHUAA!"


    He vomited a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground. One could see his chest was almost caved inwardly.


    " Bastard!"


    The Elder of the Green Cloud Sect became enraged as his aura erupted. However, at that moment, a voice boomed across the hall.


    " Hah! Orthodox Green Cloud Sect, huh?" Meng Zhi snorted as he walked forward. " Sneak attacking a guest here, I demand an exnation!"


    Meng Zhi''s True Qi burst forth as it looked like she summoned the season of Spring itself. Endless vitality flowed behind her as flowers bloomed in her surroundings. However, those flowers are made up of her True Qi which contained terrifying destructive power.


    " You think My Eternal Spring Tower is a pushover?"


    " You!!" The Elder of Green Cloud Sect gritted his teeth when he heard that. " Hmph! Consider yourself lucky! We will see you in Imperial Tournament!"


    He hurried as he fed a pill to his injured disciple. However, everyone couldn''t help but nce at Long Ming, who was standing there without any expression.


    It wasn''t like he was expressionless. But in his heart, he was screaming right now.


    '' Wh-What the hell happened! What''s with that power!!'' Long Ming''s heart pounded as he looked at his Plum Blossom Fan. It the painting on it was still glowing with pink light as he could feel a fifth of Fragrant Yin Qi depleted in his body.


    " Did you see that! That young man just casually swatted the Inner Disciple of Green Cloud Sect!"


    " Inner Disciple? Doesn''t that mean that disciple is at the True Core Formation realm? Just how strong is that Long Ming?"


    " Impressive! Such elegance!"


    Long Ming sighed as he folded his fan. " Well, It looks like the Green Cloud Sect is manipted by Liu Ye and Blissful Heaven Temple. But we understand¡­"


    He walked toward Liu Ye as his eyes narrowed. The Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth activated as a terrifying Dao aura appeared around Long Ming, giving off a powerful pressure,


    " I don''t know what sort of group is Second Prince''s Literary Committee is¡­But the members were like you, I don''t think it is anything good at all." Long Ming ridiculed.


    " If I am a chatan who sells vulgar pictures, what are you, Lie Ye? A hypocrite who wears the mask of righteousness?"


    " Hahaha!"


    Meng Zhi snorted as her pressure increased. She is someone at the Harmonization Realm after all.


    " See these guests out. Our Eternal Spring Tower doesn''t wee them."


    All of them snorted as they got disdained by Meng Zhi. Liu Ye was trembling as Long Ming''s pressure enveloped him. He only saw Long Ming casually swatting his fan, and he injured a disciple of True Core Formation Realm to this degree.


    " Hmph! I also don''t want to remain in such a ce."


    Liu Ye snorted as he turned around to leave.


    " Wait¡­" Long Ming spoke. " I admit you are a hypocrite. But, I didn''t know you are shameless also. You couldn''t give the answer to my question. Now, pay 1000 Mid grade spirit stones."


    " Yo-You! Don''t go too far!" Liu Ye''s expression changed as he red at Long Ming. Long Ming shrugged.


    " Oh well, I guess I need to change the banners. I will draw on how righteous the Liu Family is. How great it is to not fulfill your promise when you lose a bet."


    " Yo-You!!"


    Liu ye trembled as his expression turned ugly. He waved his hands as spirit stones scattered on the ground. " Here, take this."


    " Ayo, giving money away like that, I am sure Liu Family is pretty rich." Long Ming smiled as he squatted and picked up all the spirit stones.


    [ Ding! Hostpleted the mission! Host gets 10x Random Treasure Chest!]


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine Realms approves your method!]


    [ Ding! Gold Guarding Miser Dragon clicks his tongue. He says he will give tougher missions next time!]


    Long Ming ignored everything as he saw the group of troublemakers foiling away. He looked at the people in the hall as he bowed.


    " Well, I am sorry that all the guests had to see such uncouth thing. However, since the night is long, Let the auction continue!"


    The Treasured Jade Brush shed as the crane made by Long Ming scattered into smaller petals.


    " Yes! Let''s go!"


    " Wait, What was thest price?


    " 100 Mid grade spirit stones!"


    " 200!"


    " 300!"


    After what happened, Long Ming used that to boost the price. However, currently, Long Ming''s mind was upied with many things. " Sister Meng, I guess I should take some rest."


    Meng Zhi hurriedly nodded. " Of course! Who would have thought you will get sneak attacked? Are you injured somewhere?"


    Long Mingughed as he could see the stream of Fragrant Yin Qiing from her body, " I am fine, Sister Meng. Just a little tired, I guess?"


    " Fine, You should go and take rest." She nodded.


    As Long Ming walked out, he felt someone grabbing his arm.


    " Are you ok?"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she asked in a soft voice. Long Ming was startled as he nodded. " I am alright. I just need some rest."


    " Thene back with me."


    " Wa-Wait!"


    Before Long Ming could say anything, Mu Qinglian grabbed Long Ming as jumped on her flying sword. Without saying anything, the ying sword burst forward.


    " Wh-Whoa! Calm down, Mydy!" Long Ming shouted hurriedly. " You are going too fast!"


    " Hahaha, This is fast? Thenlet me show you the true speed." Mu Qinglianughed as her flying sword''s speed increased by three folds.


    " AHHHHH!!!"


    Long Ming''s scream echoed across the sky as Mu Qinglian brought him back to her courtyard in Four Seasons Valley.


    " Ahahisiukjaw¡­."


    Long Ming''s legs trembled as he fell to his knees. " Damn it, I thought I might die."


    " Hoh, The young genius who swatted a True Core Formation cultivator is afraid of flying?" Mu Qinglianughed. Long Ming red at Mu Qinglian as as he scoffed.


    " We could havee back with a leisure pace. Why you have to be in hurry?"


    " Well? Because I was feeling tired. A young girl like me, I should take care of my body, yes?" Mu Qinglian chuckled.


    " Anyway, I am really thankful for what you have done in Eternal Spring Tower." She smiled softly. " I was really going to intervene. But that would have led me exposing my power."


    " Why? I thought Meng Zhi was enough to handle them." Long Ming asked. Mu Qinglian gave a chuckle. " Sister Meng is p powerful indeed. But sometimes, she would rather use her fist than her brain. Alsthough she appears to be a easy going, sometime, she bes utterly stubborn."


    " Then what about me?" Long Ming became interested. " What do you think of me?"


    Mu Qinglian looked at him as she gave a light snort. " A jade faced cunning demon."


    " Jade faced cunning demon?" Long Mingughed as he understood the meaning behind such title. " If Lady Mu bestows me such title, I will naturally ept it."


    " Good, You should take some rest." Mu Qinglian spoke. Long Ming paused as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " Actually, Why do you let me sleep in your room? Like, why?"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as sheughed. " Don''t you know? Four Season Valley is a women''s sect? There are barely any male disciples, and all of them are Outer Sect disciples."


    " They know that you are my guests." Mu Qinglian pursed her lips. " But they don''t know that you are living here, inside the sect. I need to prepare an identity for you, you know? Otherwise a male living in my Mountain Flower Peak will create an uproar."


    Long Ming''s smile turned stiff as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " So, You are saying you are keeping me here illegally?"


    " Yup."


    " What will happen if I get caught?"


    " Best case, Castration. Worst case, death." Mu Qinglian smiled.


    Long Ming looked at the sky for a moment. After that, only a sigh came out of his mouth.


    " Hehe, Don''t worry. I won''t let anything happen to you." Mu Qinglian giggled as she entered her room. " You can sleep in the second room."


    " No, I have other things to do."


    Long Ming spoke as he walked to the courtyard and sat in the garden.


    '' ording to the talent testing orb, my Qi cultivation aptitude is worst. However, I can swat a True Core Formation Stage cultivator with my Fragrant Yin Qi and Plum Blossom Fan?''


    '' Unless, Fragrant Yin Qi is much more powerful than True Qi?'' Long Ming calcted the amount of Fragrant Yin Qi consumed by his move as he took a deep breath.


    " Let''s see the extent of my power."


    The Plum Blossom Fan got the ability to create powerful gust of winds. Long Ming consumed over ? of his Fragrant Yin Qi.


    Taking a step back his hands moved gracefully. The Plum Blossom Fan lit up with pinkish radiance as the blossoms scattered around Long Ming. After that, he waved the fan with all his power.


    *WHOOOSHH!"


    A pink whirlwind rose as it enveloped the entire garden. Mu Qinglian, whow as changing her clothes, rushed out as she felt the powerful aura..


    *BOOM!*


    The gust of wind sted the trees and destroyed the walls, making the entire garden messy.


    " Haah¡­"


    Long Ming was in a awe as he saw the scene.


    " Incredible!"

 Chapter 27: Ingenious Cultivation Method

    Chapter 27: Ingenious Cultivation Method


    Mu Qinglian wore a light, white gauze dress with yellow stripes. Her tender arms were revealed as she took light steps under the moonlight.


    " This¡­"


    Mu Qinglian''s eyes narrowed when she saw the scene. Long Ming stood silently as he looked at the effect.


    " If I manage tounch such a sneak attack o a True Core Formation Stage cultivator, What will happen?" Long Ming turned around as he asked.


    Mu Qinglian was stunned as she chuckled. " Unless he got some sort of powerful defensive treasure, he will die beyond any doubt."


    Long Ming looked at his body as he saw the Fragrant Yin Qi was remaining less than 15%.


    " But what sort of attack was that? Such energy was something that resembles the Spring branch techniques of Four Seasons Valley. But it is also different."


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as he asked. " Sister Mu, Do you know the difference between cultivating with True Qi and cultivating with other types of energy?"


    Mu Qinglian was stunned when she heard the question. " Well, It is true. True Qi can be considered as the basic structure of this world. It''s powerful, but basic."


    " However, Powerful techniques are able to transform this basic True Qi into other types of Qi. They utilize that special qi to cultivate faster and better."


    " For example, I absorb using the Four Season Qi in our sect that is created by our sect formation. Due to that, I am naturally more powerful that the cultivator who is a stage higher cultivation than me but cultivated using True Qi."


    " However, in the end, we consume True Qi for all our actions. Even if I am cultivating using the Four Season Qi, I can transform it from the True Qi now."


    Long Ming gave a bitter smile when he heard that. Unlike other energies, Long Ming can''t convert True Qi into Fragrant Yin Qi no matter how he tried. He can only absorb it if it was there in the atmosphere or from the body of women.


    '' Not to mention, My True Qi absorption rate is so shit. But on the brighter side, My Fragrant Yin Qi can close the cap between me and my enemy.''


    '' In simpler terms, I need to feel my reservoir full and only act when it is necessary.'' Long Ming muttered in his heart. Thankfully, He can get an abundant amount of Fragrant Yin Qi in the Four Seasons Valley.


    '' Hmm, I wonder if I can absorb different sorts of qi other than True Qi.'' Long Ming mumbled.


    " But I am really curious. Your cultivation aptitude is clearly the lowest. But then, What is your current cultivation level?" Mu Qinglian became curious as she looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, I also wonder. But I can only say, I am ot weak as I look."


    Suddenly, Mu Qinglian vanished from her position as she appeared behind Long Ming. She rested her chin on his shoulder as she whispered, " You are hiding a lot of secrets. I wonder if our meeting might be a conspiracy?"


    Long Ming shuddered as he could smelled the fragrance of Mu Qingian. Her voice was slow and teasing enough to make Long Ming react.


    " Miss Mu, I can swear that I have no ulterior motives toward you or Four Season Valley." Long Ming smiled. " It''s just¡­ I am rather thankful that you going to such lengths to protect me."


    " Is that so?"


    Mu Qinglian gave a gentleugh as she looked at Long Ming''s shoulders. She could see the tattoo of ck and white vines and spider lilies. It was unknown what Mu Qinglian thought, but she smiled a bit.


    " Anyway, I have a thing for you. You can say, It is a test from Sect Master herself." Mu Qinglian snapped her fingers as she took out a wooden box There was a manual inside it.


    " This¡­is?"


    Long Ming was curious as he looked at the manual. Mu Qinglian nodded. " This is called the Red Pearl Revolution method. It is a cultivation technique that mixes both Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement. It''s also a rare Earth grade technique."


    " You are giving this to me?" Long Ming was surprised. Mu Qinglian nodded. " It is the order from Sect Master. She wishes to know more about your talent. Let''s see how much time it will take to reach the Initial Completion stage."


    Theprehension rate of a technique is divided into four stages. Initialpletion, Minor Completion, Perfection Stage, and Grand Completion. Long Ming took the manual as he nodded.


    " I will not disappoint you."


    Long Ming nodded. Mu Qinglian looked at her courtyard as she rolled her eyes. " Since you already ruined it, you can just do whatever you want till tomorrow. But after I renovate the garden, don''t break anything."


    Long Ming gave a guilty smile as he saw Mu Qinglian leaving. He sat on a stone b as he started to read the Red Pearl Revolution method. However, after reading that, he wa surprised.


    " This technique¡­ Isn''t this is the simpler version of Scarlet Jade Great Body Art I got from ancestral tablet?" Long Ming was shocked.


    '' But what is the use of a cultivation technique when my absorption of True Qi is so low?'' Long Ming sighed. But suddenly, an idea came in his mind.


    '' But wait, What if I try a different method?'' Long Ming started topare the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art and Crimson Pearl Revolution method.''


    In the Crimson Pearl Revolution method, one needs to direct their True Qi into their blood and refine it. After that, they need to use the empowered blood and vitality to refine their body and divine sea. In the Grand Completion stage, one can convert True Qi onto Crimson Pearl Qi which will increase the damage.


    However, in the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art, one can further transform the Crimson Pearl Qi into Scarlet Jade Qi. The Scarlet Jade will nourish the blood, and increase the defense of the body. Moreover, The Scarlet Jade Qi will turn into Scarlet Yang energy, giving an insight into Grand Dao of Scorching Summer.


    But Long Ming got a terrifying idea as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes revolved. What if he simply omits the True Qi part? What if he just directly start cultivating using the Scarlet Jade Energy?


    Not to mention, he can easilyprehend any technique thanks to his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and his Heavenly Comprehension Heart. Therefore, he can skip a stage without going berserk or suffering Qi Deviation.


    Long Ming opened the system shop as he scrolled. His eyes widened as he was excited.


    " En, I think this will work."


    Long Ming spent 500 mid-grade spirit stones as he purchased a bottle of Raging me Elixir. It contains Raging Fire energy, which is beneficial for those who practice Fire/Yang attribute techniques.


    Long Ming took a sip as he started to practice the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art instead of the Crimson Pearl Revolution method.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt a scorching energy rampaging through his body as each of his cells got filled with fiery energy. He slowly transformed it into Scarlet Jade Qi as thin red strands of qi started to gather in his dantian.


    The Frangarnt Yin Qi trembled as he moved away, giving space to the Scarlet Jade Qi. Long Ming didn''t know what is happening, but he could feel that his method was sessful.


    As the night passed, Long Ming kept cultivating the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art.


    As the morning rose, Long Ming puffed out a breath of turbid air as he opened his eyes. Suddenly, his whole body was set aze by a crimson fire, burning everything in his three meters surrounding.


    Long Ming got up and stretched his body, allowing the sunlight to fall on his body.


    '' My cultivation is sure different. I actually reached the Minor Completion stage of Scarlet Jade Great Body Art, a Royal grade Technique in one night!''


    But the issue was still the same. Long Ming can''t convert True Qi onto Scarlet Jade Qi. However, he can use the already stored Scarlet Jade Qi in his body to execute his technique.


    However, in terms of difficulty in recharging the energy, gathering Crimson Jade Qi is much easier than recharging Fragrant Yin Qi. Unlike thetter, which can be only obtained from women, Scarlet Jade Qi can be obtained through various spirit jades, medicines, or even sunlight.


    '' Well, But in terms of cultivation, I guess I am still at the mid stage of the Qi Revolution realm? Eh, Who cares about that anymore?''


    Long Ming could feel the power coursing through his body. He can finally say that he got some sort of protection that is actually his.


    Suddenly, he raised his fist as a crimson glow shed in around his body. The Crimson Jade Qi oozed around as they coiled around Long Ming''s arms like snakes.


    " Domineering Crimson Palm!"


    The moment Long Ming sent his palm attack, all the Crimson Jade Qi released as it turned into a gigantic palm, breaking an old tree in front of him.


    Long Ming nodded in satisfaction as he saw the result. However, suddenly, she heard the subtle noise as he hurriedly turned behind.


    Long Ming saw a young girl standing behind him as she looked at Long Ming her clear eyes.


    " Mister, Why are you standing naked? Are you feeling too hot?" The girl asked in a curious voice. " Oh, What kind of technique was that?"


    " Also, What are you doing in my Elder Sister Mu''s courtyard? Are you his friend? Or¡­ Perhaps you are the type of people who get perverts?"


    Long Ming''s face turned red as his brain short circuited. He was stunned, unable to move or think for a few seconds. Suddenly, he saw Ling''er approaching as she also looked at Long Ming''s naked body.


    She was stunned as her face turned red.


    " KYAAHHHH!!!"

 Chapter 28: Luo Yingyings Test

    Chapter 28: Luo Yingying''s Test


    Mu Qinglian was still in her nightdress as she looked at Long Ming with cold eyes. Meanwhile, Long was only able to wrap his robes around her lower abdomen to stop the exposure of his magnificent weapon.


    " Can you tell me what were you doing naked in the early morning?" Mu Qinglian''s tone was icy as she looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming smiled bitterly. " Will you believe me that I was practicing a cultivation technique?"


    " Well¡­" Mu Qinglian was speechless when she heard Long Ming. " What sort of cultivation techniques are required to be naked while practicing?"


    " I wasn''t naked while practicing!" Long Ming sighed as he borated on the situation. However, he lied that he was practicing the Crimson Pearl Revolution Method instead of Scarlet Jade Great Body Art.


    " Wait, What?" Mu Qinglian''s eyes narrowed as she stood up. " I will see about thatter."


    " Luoyin, What about you, huh? What are you doing in my courtyard?" Mu Qinglian walked to her as she pinched her cheeks.


    " I didn''t get any sort of rm from my formation. Did you sneak in again?"


    " Aiiz, Sister Mu, How can you say that?" The girl pouted. " I was just checking if there was any sort of defects in the guarding formation."


    " But then!" She pointed at Long Ming. " I saw this man standing naked andughing loudly. Also, It seems like he was also hiding a pet snake, a ck-colored one¡­"


    " Useless! You always focus on useless stuff!" Mu Qinin blushed as she bonked her head. Ling''er also blushed as she couldn''t help but nce at Long Ming.


    " But Sister Mu, Men staying inside the Inner Sect is forbidden. What are you doing, making him stay here?" The girl closed her mouth as she looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " Could it be¡­ Sister Mu is going to elope¡­"


    " You little useless thing!"


    Mu Qinglian''s face turned crimson again as she gave a double bonk this time. Long Ming chuckled when he saw the scene.


    " Long Ming, Meet Luo Yingying. She is my junior sister who excels in the formation and rune arts. Her attainment can be said as one of the top five in the entire Holy Qilin Empire."


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming was interested as he cupped his fist. " I am Long Ming, I greet Sister Luo."


    " En, Long Ming¡­ I have been hearing that name around." Luo Yingying pondered as she fell into deep thought. " Hmm, But where? I guess I forgot."


    " Anyway, Why did youe here?" Mu Qinglian asked in a curious voice.


    " Because I heard that some rare treasures are going to appear in Hundred Treasure Pavilions'' next auction, which is going to happen in few days. I wonder if you are willing toe with me."


    Mu Qinglian pondered. " Well, I think I can."


    " Yay, Then it is decided. Both of us going to attend the auction." Luo Yingying spoke happily.


    However, Long Ming was thinking about something different. '' Formation arts and Rune Inscriptions? These things are more theoretical than cultivation techniques and battle arts. This is the perfect chance to use my Heavenly Revtion Eyes.''


    " Uh, Sister Luo, I wonder if you are free enough to teach me some basic things regarding formations." Long Ming scratched his head as he looked at Luo Yingying.


    " Huh? Really?" A strange light shed in Luo Yingying''s eyes as she looked at Long Ming. A mischievous smile appeared in her lips, but she quickly hid it.


    " Well, I wonder if Sister Mu will give me permission¡­"


    Mu Qinglian was also surprised. " You want to learn about formations and runes?" Why so suddenly?"


    " Because¡­ I just got some curiosity." Long Ming gave a light smile. Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming and then spoke. " Yingying, I need to talk with him. You can return to your abode."


    " Alright, I won''t disturb the intimate time between you two." Luo Yingying giggled as she looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " Brat, Let me give you a good one this time." Mu Qinglian got up as he was going to attack Luo Yingying. However, a light shed as Luo Yingying vanished.


    " Haah¡­ Teleportation Talisman." Mu Qinglian gave a bitter smile. " Anyway¡­ What is your progress rate in Crimson Pearl Revolution Art?"


    " Peak of Minor Completion stage."


    Mu Qinglian nodded. " Well, I can understand. Mastering a technique takes time. It will be great if you reach¡­Wait¡­"


    Her heart shook a she suddenly stood up. Long Ming couldn''t help but nce at her cleavage which was showing from her nightgown.


    " What stage have you reached?"


    " Peak of Minor Completion stage." Long Mingughed.


    " Im-Impossible! That''s impossible!" Mu Qinglian shouted. " No matter what kind of genius you are, reaching the Minor Completion stage in one night is simply¡­"


    Long Ming onlyughed as he sped his hands. Suddenly, Five crimson pears startled revolve around his arm. Each of them was doused by a burning crimson qi as they gave off powerful energy.


    " What about this?"


    Mu Qinglian was stunned when she observed those rotating pearls. " In Initial Completion, the cultivator will get three pearls. After that, each stage will add two pearls. Five pearls mean you reached the Minor Completion stage¡­"


    Mu Qinglian''s breathing turned faster as she looked at Long Ming. " This¡­ This is simply¡­ Absurd."


    In fact, What Long Ming practiced was the Crimson Jade Great Body Art. However, since the Crimson Pearl Revolution method is derived from it, he can easily imitate the lower technique without any issue."


    Mu Qinglian took a deep breath as she nodded. " Very well, You should get ready. I am going to take you to Luo Yingying''s abode"


    " Is that so?" Long Ming chuckled as he nodded. Soon, Mu Qinglian took him to a different mountain and dropped him at the feet of the mountain.


    " Climb straight and you will reach there. I need to go and talk something with Sect Master."


    Long Ming sighed as he saw the tall mountain. Before he could step on the stairs, a voice whispered in his mind.


    " Ahaha, Wee, Brother Long. I was waiting for you."


    Long Ming didn''t doubt the voice. It was clearly Luo Yingying''s. Seeing Long Ming silent and curious, she continued.


    " Well, Since you wish to study formation and runes, I need to check your qualification. Hehe, Come, climb the mountain. I ced a simple illusion formation here."


    Long Mingughed as he took a step up thedder. After a while, he was surprised when he saw thedders divided into five intersections. After that, another five, and that continued.


    Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at all the paths around him. " Well, This going to be pretty easy, I guess?"


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as his surroundings turned hazy. Without dying any time, he started to climb the mountain.


    " Huh?"


    Luo Yingying, who was looking at the screen in front of her became stunned. " This¡­"


    Each of Long Ming''s steps was precise, leaving no room for error. It was like he could see through the illusion clearly.


    " Interesting! Very interesting!"


    Luo Yingying held a formation disk as she saw Long Ming almost reach the mountain peak. Suddenly, the jade disk in her hand revolved as Long Ming suddenly stopped.


    The scenery in front of Long Ming changed as he saw mountains filled with treasures. Spirit stones, heavenly weapons, exotic treasures, rare gems, there is nothing he couldn''t see there.


    " Well, It is clearly an illusion. Why would I fall for it?"


    Long Mingughed as he shook his head. After that, he hurried forward. The scenery again changed as he saw a bed lying before him. " Little brother, Why don''t you take some rest here?"


    Long Ming saw beautifuldies surrounding him as their clothes fell one by one. They led Long Ming to the bed and they started to get intimate with him.


    " Still a clumsy illusion."


    Long Ming chuckled as if he was unaffected by it. But then, the situation changed as all girls vanished, except one.


    " Brother Long, You have passed the test." Luo Yingying''s figure appeared as she beckoned Long Ming with sultry eyes.


    Suddenly. Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he looked at his sideways. The illusion before his eyes faded like mist as if it was nothing before his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    However, he realized that the real Luo Yingying was standing nearby as she looked at Long Ming curiously. Suddenly, Long Ming''s body moved as he walked toward her aimlessly.


    " Hehe, Sister Luo, You are beautiful. However, I doubt you know much about the affair between men and women since all you do is study formations and runes."


    Luo Yingying was startled as Long Ming suddenly held her waist. He gently rubbed her soft lips, making her shiver from a strange sensation.


    " Yo-You! What are you doing?"


    Luo Yinygying trembled as she shouted in a low voice. However, Long Ming remained unfazed.


    " Teaching you about spring and love, Sister Luo."


    " I know it is an illusion¡­ However, who said I can''t have fun in illusion?" Long Ming grinned as he looked deep into Luo Yingying''s eyes.


    " You! Th-This isn''t an illusion! I am real!"


    Luo Yingying, who always acted brave, felt panicked when Long Ming held her.


    " All illusion says that." Long Mingughed. " Hmph, Teasing me¡­ You need punishment!"


    Long Ming made her bend as his palms raised. Without saying anything, he lightly spanked the butt of Luo Yingying."


    " Ahn~"


    Luo Yingying felt a strange sensation through her body as she felt like she got jolted by a lightning. Suddenly, her aura surged as she freed herself.


    " Enough! Test is over!"


    Luo Yingying panted as her face was still flushed. She couldn''t help but look at Long Ming with strange eyes.


    " Hmm, So you saying he reached the Minor Completion stage of Crimson Pearl Revolution Method in one night?"


    Mu Qinglian sighed. " Yes, This sound absurd. But I checked it, and it is true."


    " No, Not absurd at all." The melodious voice of a woman rang as she gave a gentleugh.


    " I guess my spections were true. That boy really got an inheritance from the Ancestral Tablet."

 Chapter 29: One Stroke to Create a Talisman

    Chapter 29: One Stroke to Create a Talisman


    Long Ming coughed lightly as he stood inside the abode, looking at Luo Yingying who was circling around a ce.


    She bit her fingers as she looked anxious. What happened earlier was enough to make her dizzy.


    '' Mm¡­ But I still kinda getting some Fragrant Yin Qi though.'' Long Ming became mused as he looked at Luo Yingying.


    " Ahem, I am sorry, Sister Luo. I didn''t know it was¡­ real you."


    " Real me?" Luo Yingying blushed. " You mean, if it was an illusion, you would have¡­ What you would have done?"


    Long Ming only replied with a hollowugh when Luo Yingying red at him.


    " Hmph, You, Who can see through all the illusions on the mountain, failed at thest moment? Do you think I am a fool?"


    Long Ming shrugged. " I guess¡­ I ran out of luck."


    " Rank out of luck, huh?" A grin shed on Luo Yingying''s lips as she looked at Long Ming. Suddenly, she took out several thick stacks of books and piled them before Long Ming.


    " Here, The Basics of Rune Inscription and Formations. Study them and remember each content. I am giving you two days."


    " If you are unable to do it in two days, Hehe¡­ I have a good punishment for you."


    Long Ming became speechless when he saw Luo Yingying turn away and gave an evil cackle.


    " Now, I am going to meditate. If it is not necessary, Don''t disturb me." Luo Yingying snorted as she walked away.


    Long Ming became interested in those books as he opened them. Those books were filled with the most basic theories of runes.


    Runes are simply special types of diagrams that can harness the energy of heaven and earth. Imbuing energy and drawing it on a surface, oe can create many magical effects. Whether offense, defense or support, a talisman can do anything.


    As for Formations, they are simply runes diagrams used on a grander scale.


    Long Ming looked at the tower of books as he sighed. Although hisprehension was godly, he would be bored to death if he read all that.


    '' Oh wait, I still have the 10x Draw, right?"'' Long Ming opened his system window as he clicked on the icon. It was the reward he got after swindling 1000 Mid grade Spirit stones from Liu Ye.


    [ Ding! Host gets nothing! Better luck next time!]

    [ Ding! Host gets Green Bronze Rank Treasure: Purple Pine Sword!]


    [ Ding! Host gets Five Elemental Inkstone!]


    " Damn, At least give me something good!" Long Ming muttered as he rubbed his palms. " Come on, A SSR drop!]


    [ Ding Ding! Ding! Host wins a Star tinum grade treasure! Skill Learn!]


    " Huh? Let me check that real quick!]


    [ Skill Learn: Do you feel bored reading all those texts inside a big ass book? Do you feel like dying getting all those contents inside a scroll in your mind?]


    [ This skill will directly upload everything into your mind! However, It will only pour information in your brain. As for understanding it, it will depend on you]


    Long Ming jumped in excitement when he saw the skill description. For ordinary people, this might be just a convenience. However, For Long Ming, it was a heavenly blessing.


    " Ordinary people can just get the content in their head, unable to understand anything if they don''t have enoughprehension. However, with my Heavenly Comprehension Heart, It is the same as giving a tiger a pair of wings¡­ No, a whole jetpack."


    Long Ming smacked his lips as he ced his hands on the book.


    [ Ding! Host detected Basic Structure of Runes! Are you willing to learn the contents?]


    Long Ming nodded. " Yes."


    Suddenly, he felt his Frangrant Yin Qi and Crimson Jade Qi depleted slightly as he could feel a vast amount of information appear in his mind.


    " Ugh, What a headache. And she was asking me to remember all that in two days?" Long Ming cursed as he mediated.


    His Heavenly Comprehension Heart activated as he soon started toprehend the basic structures of rune diagrams. Soon, he learned all the books with his skill.


    " There are many runes for different purposes. But there are only nine most basic runes there that couldn''t be simplified further. For other people, they would rather start with already structured diagrams. But I will start from the basic runes themselves.


    '' Order, Chaos, Creation, Destruction, Illusion, Truth, Seal, Devour, Union'' The nine primal rune that is the building blocks of the simplest rune diagrams. For most cultivators, they are good as useless.


    The first reason is that people start studying from rune diagrams, not these basic runes themselves. The second reason is, even if someone gets interested in these basic runes unless they can see through the profundity of these basic runes, they are good as scribbles.


    '' However, to me, These are priceless treasures. The mystery contained in each rune is immense. If I can harness even a fraction of power in it and imbue in my talismans, it will get many times more powerful.''


    It took three hours for Long Ming to digest all the information. The moment he opened his eyes, they shed with profound wisdom.


    '' Heavenly Comprehension Heart is simply godly toprehend theoretical concepts with ease. Since I learned all these things, should I not implement it?''


    [ Five Elemental Inkstone: White Silver rank treasure: A type of rock that is blessed with the power of five elements. With a little grinding, it can create inks corresponding to five elements!]


    Long Ming looked at the multicolored brick as he broke a little part from it. Then, he grounded it and turned it into crimson-colored ink. He took out his Treasured Jade Brush as he dipped the brush in it.


    As for the talisman papers, there was quite an abundance in Luo Yingying''s abode.


    " Sun powering the strings, strings forming a spear. zing spear soars¡­" Long Ming muttered as he inscribed a rune diagram on a piece of paper. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, the chances of making mistakes were almost nill.


    Long Ming''s Crimson Jade Qi spiraled in his veins as he flowed through the brush. After a while, Long Ming smiled with satisfaction.


    " This is Fire Bolt Talisman, one of the most basic talismans one can make." Long Ming looked at the paper as he nodded. " However, What if I can improve it?"


    The longer Long Ming spent time amidst the runes, the more fascinated he became. It was almost the same as writing a program. It starts with simple but turnsplex andplex.


    Even for a simple program, there might be a simple and aplex algorithm. In his world, people will tend to pick the simplest one because it is effective.


    However in this world, the moreplex a rune is, the more power it can exert. All of it depends on theprehension of the one who inscribes the runes.


    Soon, a day already passed as Long Ming was sitting amidst a dozen of talismans.


    " I guess, My Crimson Jade Qi is good for Fire/Yang attribute talismans. It increased its power by quite much."


    " Hmm? Have you been cking off?"


    As Long Ming was stretching his body, Luo Yingying entered the room. She was surprised when she saw the mess. However, when she looked at them carefully, she was stunned.


    " These¡­ These are freshly made talismans. These are¡­"


    She could see three types of Fire Bolt Talisman. The first one was he simplest one. The second one got some improvements. However, the third one was much moreplex.


    All sorts of treasures are divided into seven ranks. Yellow grade, Spirit Grade, Xuan grade, Mystic grade, Earth grade, Noble Grade, Royal Grade, Imperial Grade.


    The normal Fire Bolt Talisman is at the Yellow grade rank. However, Long Ming''s new creation looked like s Spirit grade talisman.


    '' Suchplex diagrams¡­ It means efficient input of energy and doubles the effect of the talisman.'' Luo Yingying trembled. '' A mere Yellow grade talisman can have suchplexity? Impossible!"


    " Aiiz, I am really tired. I think my body will go stiff if I sit any longer." Long Ming sighed. Luo Yingying looked at her with a fierce gaze.


    " Tell me, Did you make all these?"


    " Yes."


    " How? I thought you came here to learn rune diagrams and formations. If so, How is it possible that you can start making talismans just after reading books for a day?"


    Long Ming took out his Plum Blossom Fan and waved it a little. " I guess Sister Mu didn''t tell you. I am originally someone who lost his past memories. However, my skills are there. All I need to do is to recall."


    Looking at Long Ming''s graceful figure, Luo Yingying was slightly stunned. Indeed, if Long Ming already knows the principles already, it won''t be tough for him to make talismans.


    '' But what about suchplex diagrams, How did he make it?" Luo Yingying pondered. '' Wait! If he is so knowledgable, Perhaps he can help me in that¡­!!''


    Meanwhile, In Grand Sky City.


    " Do you know? The young man who pped the face of three powerhouses with just his words?"


    " I know. I think his name was Long Ming. I never saw such a handsome person with such graceful bearings before."


    " Hehe, Blissful Hall really kicked an iron board this time."


    " I heard Blissful Hall might try to copy Eternal Spring Hall."


    " Maybe? It''s not like they never did it before."


    Meng Zhi''s clothes fluttered as she sat on the balcony of the highest floor. " How the rumor is spreading?"


    " Very fast. As you told us, we already started sowing doubts in people''s minds." Xiao''er replied.


    Meng Zhi gave an evil smile as she sipped her tea. " Heh, Long Ming is really amazing. Blissful Hall, Let''s see what you are going to do."

 Chapter 30: Luo Yingyings Generosity! Sect Masters Plans

    Chapter 30: Luo Yingying''s Generosity! Sect Master''s ns


    " Hmm, Using fire attribute ink to draw the inscription, while adding Yang attribute energy in the brush, can indeed enhance the quality of a talisman."


    Luo Yingying muttered as she saw the talismans. " However, under normal circumstances, a runemaster can only have a few different types of qi. That''s why people tend to use general Spiritual Qi instead of another sort of energy."


    " Well, That depends on other people, not me." Long Ming shrugged.


    Spiritual Qi is something that stems from one''s soul. The more powerful one''s soul, the more powerful the Spiritual Qi will be.


    The use of Spiritual Qi is extremely useful in both martial cultivation and supplementary path.


    During a fight between cultivators of simr strength, the Spiritual Qi can affect the oue of the battle. Not to mention, Spiritual Qi is used in Alchemy, Treasure Forging, Rune Inscription, Array Formations, and in many more areas.


    Thankfully, Long Ming realized that with a simple method from the Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth, he can draw out his Spiritual Qi and use it to inscribe runes.


    '' However, it is better to get a soul technique for better yield. Maybe I would find something in the library?"


    Luo Yingying looked at Long Ming for a moment as she took out a formation disk. " What do you think about this?"


    Long Ming became curious as he took the disk. It looked like a disk made of stone. Its surface was pretty smooth as Long Ming could see disjoint lines carved on it.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes activated as he saw the true surface of the stone formation disk.


    " It looks like this disk is locked."


    Long Ming pondered as he could see the disjoint lines slowly forming into arger diagram, which was invisible under normal eyes.


    " This disk is a Sky grade formation disk. I got it from the market. However, no matter what, I couldn''t unlock it." Luo Yingying stretched her body as she sighed.


    " Actually, How many spiritual locks you can see on this?"


    Long Ming looked at the disk again as he replied. " There are six."


    " What?"


    Luo Yingying''s brows furrowed as she looked at Long Ming. " How is that possible? I checked it so many times, but I can only see five of them."


    Long Ming smiled as he pointed at a ce. " Well, if you see, can you see the chains of the basic Seal runes here?"


    Luo Yingying spoke, " Yeah, but they are just a singr rune. How can it be a spiritual lock?"


    " Well, That''s not true." Long Ming spoke. " As you can see, There are seven Seal Runes randomly scattered around the disk. However, if you see them with keen eyes, you can see they are forming a Seven Lock Diagram. That diagram is what stopping you from opening it."


    Luo Yingying shook as her expression changed. She hurriedly took the formation disk as she took out an inscription brush. She started to inscribe some runes on the formation disk.


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he could feel Luo Yingying''s overflowing Spiritual Qi. Her soul power is much more powerful than Long Ming''s.


    " Sister Luo, What is your cultivation rank?"


    " Peak stage of True Core Formation realm. Also, I am a Sky grade Runemaster." Luo Yingying chuckled as she focused on the formation disk. Her brush moved as she decoded the locks on the formation.


    Suddenly, theyer of the stone on the formation crumbled as it showed another formation disk inside it. Luo Yingying jumped in happiness as she hugged Long Ming.


    " Hahaha! I did it! I unlocked it!"


    " Um¡­ Yeah!"


    Long Ming felt he was going to suffocate as his face got pressed against Luo Yingying''s chest. Long Ming had to admit, although they don''t look big from the outside, they might be bigger than Mu Qinglian.


    '' Mm¡­ It''s not like I actually mind though.''


    " Let''s see what kind of secret this is hiding." Luo Yingying poured True Qi inside the formation disk and it started to glow. Suddenly, a ray of light shed out from it as numerous letters appeared on an illusory screen.


    It was like each word contain a profound meaning. Long Ming could see that this might be a technique.


    [ Ding! Host detected Origin Spirit Refining Art. Do you wish to learn?]


    A wide grin appeared on Long Ming''s lips as he nodded. Suddenly, the technique appeared in his mind.


    " Origin Spirit Refining Art? Could it be a spiritual technique? This might be very precious." Luo Yingying was clearly excited.


    " Little brother Long, You helped me crack this formation disk. Therefore, How about we share this technique together."


    " You are really giving this to me?" Long Ming was surprised. " A spiritual technique is very costly."


    " So what?" Luo Yingying shrugged. " You helped me, so you deserve a cut from the treasure too, no?"


    Long Ming could feel some warmth in his heart as he smiled. " Well, I think Sister Luo needs this more than this. How about this? You take this practice first. After youprehend this technique, you can give it to me."


    Luo Yungying''s eyes brightened as she hugged Long Ming. " Aiya, Little Brother Long is so sweet. No wonder Big sister Mu is keeping you."


    " How about this? How about I keep you from now?" Luo Yingying spoke with an excited tone. " We can do so many things together!"


    ck lines appeared on Long Ming''s forehead when he heard that. Keep him? What is he? A toy?


    But he know that Luo Yingying didn''t have any ulterior motive. As Luo Yingying was holding Long Ming, the door suddenly opened.


    " Huh? What are you guys doing?"


    Mu Qinglian was dumbfounded when she saw the scene. Luo Yingying was startled, but she smiled. " Haha, Big Sister Mu, you arrived here at the right time."


    " Thanks to him, I managed to crack the formation disk that was bothering me for a while."


    " Yeah, I understand... But, Aren''t you giving that guy a bit too freedom?" Mu Qinglian''s tone was stiff as she pointed at Long Ming''s face pressed to Luo Yungying''s breasts.


    " Eh? What about this? Is there something wrong?"


    Luo Yingying blinked as she stayed in that position. Mu Qinglian grumbled as she pulled Long Ming away.


    " You are a genius when ites to rune. But how do you be dumb when ites to the real world?" Mu Qinglian rolled her eyes as she looked at Long Ming.


    " I talked with Sect Master. She was pleased that you helped Eternal Spring Tower and practiced the Crimson Pearl Revolution method so quickly."


    " Tomorrow, You need to visit a ce. If you seed, you might get an unexpected surprise."


    " What is it?" Long Ming became curious. Mu Qinglianughed lightly. " That¡­Something you will know eventually after you pass."


    " Good, I understand." Long Ming nodded. He looked at the formation disk as he fell into thought. " Sister Luo, I think this disk hides more than just this technique. You should keep a look on this."


    Luo Yingying nodded. " I will. Thank you. Little Brother. You helped me a lot."


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming with strange eyes as she took him back. As they were in the flying carriage, Mu Qinglian spoke.


    " Well? I thought you didn''t have any knowledge regarding runes or formations. What happened exactly? It is rare to see Yingying evaluating someone so highly."


    " Well, I think I knew about the runes already, just merely forgit them." Long Ming spoke with a gentle smile. " Not to mention, You know myprehension is pretty high, no?"


    " Hmm, Are you hiding something from me?" Mu Qinglian asked in a stern voice. Long Ming shrugged. " I don''t know. I think it all happened because of my memory loss."


    " If you say so¡­" Mu Qinglian sighed. " I will believe you for now. However, if you dare to plot something against our sect, I will not let you go."


    " Where are we going?" Long Ming was curious. Mu Qinglian grumbled. " Eternal Spring Tower. Meng Zhi asked you toe there."


    " Hmm? Something happened?"


    " I don''t know. I am just dropping you there and returning to cultivate."


    Long Ming couldn''t help but be impressed by Mu Qinglian''s effort. Whenever she gets free time, she just focuses on her cultivation.


    As Long Ming walked into the Eternal Spring Tower, he could see the restaurant was filled with people."


    As the girls saw Long Ming, all of them felt their hearts throbbing hard.


    " Everyone! Hurry up! Young Master Long has arrived!"


    Long Ming scratched his hair as he saw the girls stand on both sides of the way as they bowed all at once.


    " Greetings, Young Master Long!"


    " Haha???"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but rub under his nose out of embarrassment. Even if his skin was pretty thick, he was still overwhelmed by the greeting.


    Xiao''er wore a red colored dress as she cupped her fist and bowed. " Young Master, Wee back to Eternal Spring Tower. Lady Meng is waiting for you."


    " Hmm? What happened?" Long Ming was curious as he walked along with Xiao''er. He couldn''t help but smack his lips when she saw Xiao''er''s sexy dress, her hips swaying as she walked.


    " Haha, You are here."


    Long Ming suddenly paused his steps as his eyes widened. The sultry voice was like someone ignited mes on his skin."


    " Big Sister Meng¡­"

 Chapter 31: News of Flower Boat Festival

    Chapter 31: News of Flower Boat Festival


    Meng Zhi was lying on the sofa as she gently sipped wine from her cup. She wore a pretty loose dress, proudly showing off her shoulders and an ample amount of her breasts.


    Her head rested on her fist as she nced at Long Ming with sultry eyes. " My, I have been waiting for you."


    " Haha, Sister Meng, I wonder why you called me?"


    Long Ming sat on a chair as he tried to act calm. However, looking at Meng Zhi''s explosive figure, he couldn''t help but gulp a mouthful of saliva.


    " Why so impatient, Little brother? Is this big sister isn''t pleasing to the eyes?" Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " Well, I guess the thing is¡­ You are too pleasing, almost making me distracted¡­" Long Ming closed his paper far as he pped it on his palm.


    " Haha, What a sweet talker." Meng Zhi smiled. " But I have to tell you, the gambling business is going pretty fine. It was very clever for you to make the games near impartial."


    Introducing gambling in the cultivation world is pretty risky itself. Because even the lowest rank cultivator can easily cheat if normal gambling systems are obtained.


    Therefore, Long Ming modified the games in such a way that if a cultivator tries to cheat, they will get caught.


    For example, all the materials are made with True Qi repulsing materials. Therefore, one can''t use True qi to manipte the results. Not to mention, they also added another security measure.


    If a cultivator tries to imbue energy to manipte the results, the color of the roulette or the cup will change and the round will be disbanded. These are very too ways to prevent cheating in the game of roulette, dice, and guessing games.


    " Our earnings also increased by five times afterunching the gambling pavilion. I can see the profits will be increasing further from now on."


    " All thanks to you, Little brother¡­" Meng Zhi adjusted her position as she got up and sat straight. Long Mingughed.


    " Not really, By helping you, I am helping myself too, Sister Meng." Long Ming shook his head with a smile.


    " Then, I have to trouble you to stay here for a few days and help me to stabilize things."


    Long Ming saw Meng Zhi vanishing from her position as she appeared behind Long Ming, hugging him from behind. Long Ming shuddered as he could feel her lips merely a few centimeters away from his ears.


    " But don''t worry, I am not someone who makes others work for free." Meng Zhi giggled. " As you stay here, you will get spirit stones and all sorts of cultivation resources. Also¡­"


    " I will be your instructor." She giggled as she became a little tighter. " We will have a lot of fun, aren''t we?"


    " Haha¡­ Sister Meng is so kind."


    Long Ming tried to wipe his sweat as his heart was beating wildly. He was doing his utmost to calm down his raging boner. But as the Fragrant Yin Qi from the Meng Zhi kept pouting in his body, his boner refused to calm down.


    Meng Zhi''s eyes narrowed slightly as she could naturally notice Long Ming''s reaction. " Hmhm, It''s ok, Little brother¡­ Such things are natural."


    Her tone became even more husky.


    " Big Sister doesn''t mind at all."


    Long Ming trembled as Meng Zhi''s seductive voice was making his blood boil from excitement. However, he still managed to keep his cool as he got up and distanced himself away.


    " Hoho, It''s not like I am going to eat you up, right?" Meng Zhi giggled as she twirled her hair.


    " Ahem, I think we can yter, Big Sister." Long Ming coughed lightly. " I wonder, What is the real purpose you called me here?"


    Meng Zhi took out a tobo pipe and smoked a bit, " Well, It seems I can''t really trick you, hun?"


    " Very well, The thing goes like this¡­ The Flower Boat Festival is going to happen much sooner than before. Therefore, we need to be prepared."


    The history of Grand Sky City is very rich. It could said to be stretch back tens of thousands of years ago. Even if Long Ming stayed here, he hasn''t explored a tenth of the entire Grand Sky City.


    The Flower Boat Festival is in fact, a festival that happens in Grand Sky City. One could say, It is a fight between beautiful women ad talented men. Also, it was also a battle between brothels to show off who got the best beauty with talents.


    " In thest two times, Blissful Hall has won constantly. However, This time, we must win no matter what." Meng Zhi spoke.


    " The thing we need to win thepetition is Beauty, Talent, and Admirers. Do you have any idea how to get all these three?"


    " Especially thest one." Meng Zhi spoke. " The more money and appreciation a participant gets from the audience, the chances of her winning also increases."


    Long Ming rubbed his chin. " Hmm, I do have some ideas about them. But the main this is¡­"


    He grinned. " I wonder what my reward will be¡­"


    Meng Zhi was stunned as she burst outughing. Suddenly, she held Long Ming''s waist as their face came closer.


    " Believe me, Little brother¡­ You will definitely like the rewards." Meng Zhi giggled. " Not just a souvenir¡­you might get the owner of a souvenir too¡­"


    " I¡­"


    Long Ming''s eyes widened as Meng Zhi''s hands slowly traveled down his hips. The tent in the pants was already obvious. Before Meng Zhi could move further down, Long Ming distanced himself again.


    " But then, I will be needing some money first. Also, I will need to buy some cultivation resources if you don''t mind."


    " Very well, Just list down the things you want. I will get them for you." Meng Zhi turned around and smiled.


    " Oh, Besides¡­ Here, Take this."


    Long Ming was startled as he saw Meng Zhi throwing a scroll at him. He caught it and saw it was a battle technique.


    " Scattering Blossoms Sword Art?" Long Ming was surprised. " It is an Earth grade technique, Why are you giving this to me?"


    " Well, Consider this as your advance payment, Dear." Meng Zhi smiled as she vanished from her position. Long Ming became speechless as he shook his head with a light smile.


    " Young Master, Shall I guide you to your room?" Xiao''er bowed as she asked. Long Ming nodded as an idea shed in his mind.


    " Yes, Let''s go¡­"


    Long Ming sat on the bed as he took a paper and brush and listed various things. " Xiao''er, go and purchase all these things for me."


    " As you say."


    Long Ming sat cross legged as he circted the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Art. Since it is Eternal Spring Tower, the Fragrant Yin Qi was reeking in the atmosphere.


    However, Long Ming noticed a strange thing. In his denial, Fragrant Yin Qi and Crimson Jade Qi were stayingpletely separate. Also, after a time, he can''t absorb Fragrant Yin Qi at all.


    '' It feels like, I am already filled to the brim.'' Long Ming pondered as he looked at his divine sea. But then, he realized something.


    " I see, I see¡­"


    It was indeed true. His divine sea couldn''t contain any more energy. But he found the crux of the problem.


    First of all, his divine sea was currently the size of a Qi Revolution Realm cultivator. No matter what kind of cultivation he practices, his energy storage is limited.


    Assume he got an energy capacity of 400 units, so he can only contain 400 units of True Qi for now.


    " But the thing is, I can''t contain True Qi at all. I can either contain 400 units of Fragrant Yin Qi, 400 units of Crimson Jade Qi, or 2:2 or 1:3 proportions of both qi."


    " Unlike others, I can''t transform my True Qi into other energy. So, I need to store it beforehand and use it in lone critical moments." Long Ming sighed as he looked at his body.


    " This damned body and that damned Shadow Dragon Breathing Method¡­"


    Fragrant Yin Qi is light, sharp, and fast, filled with overwhelming power in a small space. While Crimson Jade Qi is robust and overflowing energy with full of vitality.


    Both are opposing forces, but Long Ming can use them in their own way without any risks.


    But the thing he fears is the depletion of energy. Since he isn''t using True Qi, once the energy depletes, he will be the same as a sitting duck, ready to be hunted.


    Giving his all, he can kill a True Core Formation stage cultivator. But what''s after that? He will have no energy to protect himself. Even a sneeze of Qi Revolution Realm cultivation can kill him.


    '' I guess I need to have some backup ns.''


    Soon, Xiao''er returned with the materials as she gave the spatial ring to Long Ming. " I am curious, What are you going to make?"


    " Well, Some new wine, some talismans¡­ and increase my power?"


    Long Ming smiled as he took out his Treasured Jade Brush and started to practice rune inscription again. After that, he also brewed some new liquid in the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes.


    The day passed as Long Ming was very busy in the preparation of some items. As the evening fell, the customers of Eternal Spring Tower began to crowd.


    Long Ming was resting in his luxury room when the door suddenly opened. Long Ming raised his brows as he saw Xiao''er walk inside and closed the door gently.


    " I am here, Young Master¡­"


    She blushed lightly as she undid her robs, making them slide down her smooth skin.


    Under the dim light, her bare figure appeared before Long Ming as she walked toward her with seductive steps, showing off every inch of her body.


    But then¡­


    [ Ding! Random Mission arrived! Sell a single item that costs 10,000 Mid grade spirit stones! Item must be something you need to create from your own hands!]


    [ Time, 2 days!]


    [ Reward: ???]

 Chapter 32: Business Dealing of Paintings

    Chapter 32: Business Dealing of Paintings


    " MM???"


    Long Ming frowned at the sudden pop-up window as he was admiring Xiao''er beauty.


    '' This fucking system¡­Where I can turn off notifications?''


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is pitying on you. He says the Miser Dragon is a eunuch]


    [ Ding! Gold Guarding Miser Dragon is furious! He is challenging the Harem King of Nine Worlds]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World isughing! He is asking the Miser Dragon is ask his wife first]


    '' Sheesh! He even railed that dragon''s wife?'' Long Ming almost spat out when he saw the notifications.


    '' However, Selling an item that I made in 10,000 Mid grade spirit stones? That sounds he difficult. Not to mention, I have only two days worth of time.'' Long Ming pondered.


    " Young Master, Are you¡­not pleased? Did Xiao''er did something wrong?"


    Long Ming returned to his sense as he saw Xiao''er was already on the bed, looking at him with a soft nce. Before Long Ming could say anything, she already climbed on him, pinning him down beneath her.


    Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva as he could feel Xiao''er ample mountains weighing on his chest. Long Ming gave a soft sigh as his arms wrapped around her waist, pulling him into a tight embrace.


    Xiao''er was a bit surprised, buts he didn''t resist. On the contrary, she cooperated with Long Ming as she untied his robe while kissing her neck.


    " What is it? Not eager anymore?" Xiao''er grinned as her tongue traced Long Ming''s neck. Long Ming snorted as his hands caressed her wless back.


    " That''s not it¡­ I just suddenly think about something."


    " What is it?"


    Long Ming looked at Xiao''er as he held her and rolled on the bed, pinning her down beneath him.


    " Nevermind, We should just continue."


    " That''s more like it, Young Master¡­" Xiao''er grinned as she kissed Long Ming passionately.


    Suddenly, Long Ming noticed something different. The string of Fragrant Yin Qiing from Xiao''er turned into a deeper shade of pink. It felt much different¡­ Much powerful.


    Long Ming suddenly paused as his mind started to revolve faster. Looking at the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Arts, he understood the reason.


    '' I see¡­ The quality of the Qi is affected by the rate of affection and the amount of body contact. The more emotion a woman feels, the stronger Fragrant Yin Qi one can gather. Quality over quantity, huh¡­''


    '' Since I can''t increase the quantity of energy for now¡­ How about recing the energy with better quality Qi?''


    Long Ming kissed Xiao''er as their tongues interwind. He could feel her soft, bouncy breasts in his palm as they both entangled with each other.


    Long Ming circted the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Art as he reced the light pink qi with the darker pink qi.


    As their body heat rose, Long Ming and Xiao''er looked at each other with passionate eyes. They could feel each other''s body heat as their embrace became tighter.


    However, At that moment, Someone knocked on the door.


    " Wh-What the fuck!"


    Long Ming trembled as his expression turned twisted. " Goddamn it, It''s already nighttime. And you are still bothering me?"


    Xiao''er was stunned as she giggled. " My dear Young Master, are you forgetting that the real business of Eternal Spring Towers opens in the night? I am sure there must be something important if Sister Meng is calling you."


    Long Ming sighed as he nodded. He got up and adjusted his clothing as he walked out.


    " What happened?"


    " Young Noble Long, Something happening in the gambling hall. Lady Meng wishes you to go and see it."


    " Mm?"


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. " Ruckus? Here? Let me see¡­"


    He walked lightly as he went to the gambling hall. With his gentle but sacred aura along with his perfect figure, the hall became silent as Long Ming entered.


    " Is this you? The one who painted those vulgar paintings?"


    Long Ming paused his steps as he saw a young man sitting at the gambling table. He wore a purple robe with golden stripes. With a sword on his back, he looked like a noble martial artist.


    " Well, You are correct. It is me¡­" Long Ming''s paper fan opened as he spoke with a light smile. " Perhaps are you also from Orthodox Sect¡­..Here to condemn me?"


    The young man stood up as heughed loudly.


    " Hahaha! You thought I was like those old geezers? No way, I am going to preach to someone about righteousness."


    Long Ming was startled as he looked at the young man. He turned around and looked at the maid.


    " Go prepare some fine dishes along with the best wine. Prepare a good seat for sir on the terrace."


    " As Young Noble wishes¡­"


    Long Ming closed his paper fan as he pointed at the way. " Well, Why don''t we chat while enjoying some wine?"


    " Of course! The wine is one of the main reasons I came here." The young manughed as he followed Long Ming.


    " Well, I would like to know more about fellow brother."


    " I am Ling Yuan from Six Sword Pavilion. I am sure you know me already." Ling Yuanughed. Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes became activated.


    '' This aura¡­This is the same as Mu Qinglian. This means This bastard is at Primordial Spirit Unification Realm?'' Long Ming pondered. That means Ling Yuan must be a big shot of Six Sword Pavilion.


    Suddenly, His eyes narrowed as he could feel a strange aura from Ling Yuan as it enveloped Long Ming''s body. Long Ming patted his closed paper fan on his palm with a lightugh.


    " Brother Ling, probing others at the first meeting isn''t courteous at all."


    Ling Yuan was startled as he gave a wry smile. " Well, I guess I got caught. I apologize for this misconduct."


    Long Ming shook his head as the maid served food and wine. Long Ming poured the wine for Ling Yuan. " So, Brother Ling, Howe you came to meet me? Do you seek something from me?"


    Ling Yuan drank a cup of wine as he smacked his lips. " Haah! Now, This is called a wine!"


    " Well, My question is¡­ Are you the one who painted those banners?"


    Ling Mingughed. " I thought I answered you already?"


    " Very well, Then." Ling Yuan became serious. " I want you to make a painting."


    " Of whom?"


    " Mu Qinglian."


    *PUUUU*


    Long Ming spat out his wine as he looked at Ling Yuan with a shocked expression.


    " Impossible!"


    " I will pay as much as you like."


    " This isn''t about payment." Long Ming shrugged. " Here, I will make one, and there, My head will be severed."


    " Oh, Come on!" Ling Yuan pped his thigh in frustration. " You painting quality is so superb. It felt like those figures were moving inside the painting."


    " Well, I can make you such a painting if you wish. However, I won''t draw Mu Qinglian." Long Ming spoke in a firm voice.


    " Hmppph!" Ling Yuan sighed. " Fine, I got it. However, Five."


    " I will need five exclusive paintings from you."


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, That''s something I can do. However, How about we discuss the price?"


    " 1000 Mid grade Spirit stones." Ling Yuan spoke. Long Ming raised his brows as he looked at him with a calm expression.


    '' Damn, He actually took out 1000 mid grade spirit stones like that? Looks like he is filthy rich. I should drain him even more.''


    Long Ming shook his head. " Well, Brother Ling thinks Ick money? I am doing this for money?"


    Ling Yuan was startled as he looked at Long Ming. " Haha, My bad. A master like you, How can youck money at all."


    " But, What do you need as payment? I will try to get as long as it is under my strength."


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, How about this? I need some treasures that contain pure Yang energy. Do you have something like that?"


    Ling Yuan''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Ming. " Hmm, Something like that¡­ I do have something like that."


    He waved his hands as a bright red colored crystal with yellow veins appeared in his hands. " This is called a Sunset Energy Crystals. Mainly, these are used in the formations. I have some pieces of it. If you wish, I can give it to you."


    Long Ming picked up those crystals as he got up. " Give me a few days, I will give you the stuff."


    " Haha! Good! Very good!" Ling Yuanughed as he cupped his fist. " You are really a cultured schr, Fellow Brother Long."


    " Actually¡­" A grin crept on Long Minh''s lips as he turned around. " Is there any sort of guy who is willing to spend any amount of money to get such an item?"


    " Well, While I am someone who is a refined Daoist who only collects some exquisite paintings, There are indeed some weirdos who are willing to collect anything rted to beauty."


    Long Ming looked at him with a dead serious gaze. ''Seriously? Just say that you are a porn lover.''


    " Haha, How about you give me their names?"


    Ling Yuan was confused by Long Ming''s question. " Well, If you insist¡­"


    Long Ming remembered their name as he turned around and left.


    '' Hah, My cash cows, Here Ie¡­''


    Ling Yuan was still drinking his wine as he took out his sword and started to caress it.


    '' What an unfathomable body¡­ The moment I tried to probe his cultivation, I felt like my divine sense sunken into an abyss.'' Ling Yuan pondered.


    '' Concealment treasures? I don''t think so¡­ Could it be¡­"


    '' A hidden weapon of Four Season Valley?''


    A grin cracked on Ling Yuan''s lips as he caressed his sword.


    " Don''t be hasty, buddy. You and I going to have fun soon."


    Long Ming entered his room as he saw Xiao''er already dozed off. He smiled as he sat on the floor.


    '' Now, Time to increase my power¡­''

 Chapter 33: Long Ming The Painting Saint

    Chapter 33: Long Ming The Painting Saint


    One day already passed since that incident. Long Ming was already busy making preparation for the Flower Boat Festival. However, he didn''t neglect his cultivation at all.


    After getting the Sunset Crystals from Ling Yuan, Long Ming was confident in using them to improve his Scarlet Jade Great Body Art.


    '' The Sunsent Crytstal contain raw Yang energy, that is difficult for ordinary cultivators to absorb and refine their energy. However, the Scarlet Jade Great Body is art is perfect for absorbing this type of energy."


    Since there were quite some amount of crystals, Long Ming didn''t hesitate to absorb all of them. He divided his energy into two parts.


    The first one was used to circte his Scarlet Jade Qi and purify it further, increasing its quality like Fragrant Yin Qi.


    As for the second portion of energy, Long Ming used it to temper his body and improve his physique.


    He understood that if someday, his divine sea bes empty of his qi, his physical body will be the best thing to make him survive.


    '' Besides, The main characters always dual cultivate the body refinement and Qi cultivation after all.''


    However, Long Ming didn''t ck off practicing his rune inscription. On the contrary, his flow became smoother than before. Now, he can make any True grade talisman without breaking any effort.


    '' The Origin Soul Refining Art is a Earth grade technique. However, it''s very versatile. Using it as a foundation technique for my soul is very good."


    Long Ming closed his eyes as his divine sense spread around his surroundings. He could feel his surroundings from a different perspective.


    '' Well, My Heavenly Revtion Eyes got merged with my divine sense. So, My eyes are more powerful than before. However, if I stress it too much on it, my Spiritual Qi will deplete."


    However, Long Ming could feel that his soul was in a pretty good condition. Perhaps it was because he was transmigrated? But he was relieved there were no abnormalities in his soul like his body.


    Xiao''er walked inside his room and gave a light bow.


    " En, Xiao''er¡­Did you do what I asked you to do?"


    " Yes, Young Master. As you said, we already spread rumors." Xiao''er nodded as her expression changed. " But, Why do you wish to do that?"


    " Well, Just for fun?" Long Ming gave a mysteriousugh. " Don''t worry. Everything will be fine."


    " Did you hear? A painting of Fairy Lu Yanyu got stolenst night?"


    " Whoa? Really?"


    " That''s true." A man sighed. " Yesterday, she was supposed to give a performance. But, she became so upset that she canceled."


    " Damn it! Who is that bastard? He made us suffer!"


    Soon, The news spread like wildfire across the Grand Sky City. As Eternal Spring Tower was already a hot topic, the theft also became news across the city.


    " Could it be¡­It was a painting made by Young Master Long?"


    " Ahh! Then, I can understand why it got stolen. He is a master of¡­Seductive paintings Do you think there is something special in that painting?"


    " Haah! Now even I wish to see that painting. I heard it was a scenic painting. I don''t know much."


    "Let''s try to find out¡­"


    In a noble manor, a plump young man was sitting as he was eating some spirit fruits. When he heard the news, his eyes narrowed.


    " Are you telling the truth? That bastard thief! How dare he snatch something from Miss Lu! I have to punish him!"


    But then, a coy smile appeared on his face. " However, I wonder, What sort of painting is it?"


    " I heard it was an artwork called Serene Mountain Road, mabe by Long Ming of Eternal Spring Tower."


    " That man who is currently the main news of Grand Sky City?" The fatty smacked his lips. " Well, If it is him¡­ Maybe I should learn something from him?"


    " AHAHAHA." He started tough.


    His subordinates lower their head as they knelt. " I think the thief might try to sell the painting. Shall I keep an eye on it?"


    The Fatty rubbed his chin as his eyes glistened. " Hey, If I can get that painting and return to Lu Yanyun, do you think she will like it?"


    " I think, Young Master."


    " Good! Very good! Go to the ck market and look for the painting. No matter what! I must get that painting!" He shouted.


    Not long after, his servant returned. " Young Master, I think I got the painting. I found the person who is willing to sell it."


    " Really?" The fatty jumped on his feet as he was surprised. " Wow, I didn''t know you were that efficient in jobs. Maybe I should raise your pay."


    " I¡­" The servant''s face turned strange when he heard that. " Young Master, That person is willing to sell the painting. But, He is asking 10,000 Mid grade spirit stones.


    " What? 10,000 Mid grade Spirit Stones? Why doesn''t he go and rob a treasury?" The fatty snorted. " Not to mention, Is that even the real thing?"


    " Well, I believe it is the real thing. Not to mention, I can also tell why Lu Yanyu was upset because of the theft."


    " Are you telling the truth?" The fatty narrowed his eyes. The servant cupped his fist and bowed. " Young Master, You can choose not to buy. I know 10,000 Mid grade spirit stone is pretty high¡­"


    " Who said it is high!" The fatty snorted. " Fine, Go and buy that. However, Keep an eye on him till I get that painting. If it turns out to be fake, I will get that bastard."


    The servant took the spatial ring as he hurried to purchase that painting. Soon, he returned holding a scroll.


    " Eh? You can back this fast? Your cultivation must have improved, huh?" The fatty raised his brows.


    '' This bastard¡­Was he always this fast? Anyway, I think everything is going too smoothly¡­Hmm?'' Fatty felt something was wrong, but he couldn''t pinpoint it.


    However, as he unfurled the scroll, His eyes widened.


    A burst of fragrance appeared in the wind as colorful butterflies flew out of the painting. The Fatty suddenly felt refreshed as he felt like he was standing on a mountain road, with both sides filled with lush green trees.


    However, he was stunned as he saw a figure standing in the middle of a small, clear pool of water.


    The fatty can only see the back of that woman, whose wless back along with a good amount of her hips were visible to him. The water droplets on the back were shining in the sunlight, making the onlooker aroused without any thought.


    " This¡­ This is¡­ Heavenly."


    Fatty took a deep breath as everything returned to normal. He looked at the painting as he grinned ear to ear.


    " HAHAHA! GOOD! YOU DID A GOOD JOB!" The Fattyughed loudly. " Now, I think 10,000 mid grade Spirit stones might be not a bad price for this."


    " This painting¡­ It contains a special intent¡­ It already reached the Visualization stage where the world of painting can be alive. This¡­ This is simply a masterpiece."


    '' Painting saint! It must be a work of painting saint!"


    Fatty was excited as he grabbed the painting as he walked to his room. From his face, one could feel like he was about to something.


    " No need to give this painting back to Lu Yanyu. I will keep it with me."


    " Young Master, Where are you going?"


    " Of course, I need some private matters to attend. I will be doing some meditation. Now, Don''t disturb me unless it''s too important." The Fatty spoke coldly as he went to his room. However, he held the scroll tightly, afraid of anyone who might steal it.


    He entered the room and shut the door tightly. Opening the scroll, a grin appeared on his face.


    '' This woman¡­Could it be Lu Yanyu?"


    '' Hehe, Since you are with me¡­How about I¡­"


    He hurriedly grabbed a handkerchief and...


    Long Ming''s body shivered lightly as the talisman he was making almost got ruined.


    '' Whoa? What was that?''


    Long Ming paused as he looked at the door. The door opened as Xiao''er walked inside and bowed.


    " Young Master, You are truly a grandmaster strategist. Everything happened exactly as you told me." Xiao''er grinned as she gave Long Ming a spatial ring.


    Long Ming chuckled as he put down his brush. " Of course, Who can resist buying the painting of this Young Master?"


    Xiao''er walked closer to Long Ming as she sat beside him, hugging his arms.


    " Young Master, I also know a bit about painting. But that painting of yours was simply otherworldly. Not to mention, How could it create such an effect? Could it be, You already became a Painting Saint?"


    Long Mingughed as he gently kissed Xiao''er. " Xiao''er, Don''t you think it''s rude to ask someone about their secret technique?"


    " Well, I am not asking you to tell it for free¡­" Xiao''er mumbled as she returned Long Ming''s kiss.


    Long Ming smiled as he gave the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes to Xiao''er. " Take this and give it to the girls."


    " Today''s portion?"


    Xiao''er held the urn as she nodded. That urn didn''t contain the Song of Summer and Winter, but a different type of wine. It was a hidden tactic created by Long Ming for the Flower Boat Festival.


    " But Young Master, Don''t you think you can hide secrets from me." Xiao''er gave a flirtatious nce as she smiled. " I know many ways to suck the answer out."


    " I shall be waiting to see your sucking ability then." Long Ming cackled as he stretched his arms.


    Creating that painting wasn''t difficult for him. Long Ming used his brains as hebined his superior Painting Skills, Rune Inscription, and Fragrant Yin Qi.


    '' A small chain of Illusion runes hidden in the painting that can make the painting look real. Then, Paint using a brush imbued with Fragrant Yin Qi. The Fragrant Yin Qi got an illusory and enchanting property, easily making someone feel dreamy.''


    One can be only called a true businessman if he was able to sell a broken piece of pottery as an antique.


    A horni bastard, a painting with paltry trick and a smoke of rumor was enough for Long Ming to sell a random promiscuous painting.


    [ Ding! Hostpleted the mission! Host gets Energy Pool Orb!]

 Chapter 34: What Do You Desire?

    Chapter 34: What Do You Desire?


    Long Ming was surprised when he saw the description of the item. It was a Dark Gold grade treasure from the system.


    [ Energy Pool Orb: It''s a powerful energy reservoir. You can fill a single type of Qi to a certain extent. Whenever you wish, you can draw out its energy and use it as you like]


    [ In emergency cases, you can also use it to fill it with energy and burst it like a bomb]


    [ The storage can be further expandable by various means]


    " Whoa? It''s really a necessary item!" Long Ming was surprised as he held the crystal orb. The current issue he was facing was the problem of energy reserve.


    With the amount of space he possesses in dantian, he can only attack twice or thrice with full force. However, with this treasure, he got a new safety measure for himself.


    " Let''s see how much energy it can store."


    Long Ming channeled his Scarlet Jade Qi in the Energy Pool Orb. The crimson colored qi flowed inside the orb as Long Ming was satisfied.


    " Well, The current storage is a bit bigger than my current dantian size. However, I am fine with that." Long Ming sat in meditation.


    He used the Sunset Crystals as he kept refining the Scarlet Jade Qi. After continuous refining and tempering, the crimson qi had a shade of white shine.


    '' Finally, I got the Scarlet Yang Qi. With this pace, It will only take a week to reach the Perfection stage of Scarlet Jade Great Body Art.'' Long Ming revolved the Scarlet Yang Qi through his body as he could feel his body filling with a newfound strength.


    Even without using the Scarlet Yang Qi, Long Ming knew that his ordinary body already surpassed the mortal human limit.


    Long Ming took off his robes as he started to exercise without using any qi.


    Hand standing Pushups, nks, Lifting weights, and Skipping, Along with the martial arts from Earth in his memories, Long Ming did that all night.


    When the morning sun rose, he was sitting on the balcony with crossed legs. When the morning sunlight fell on his body, he could feel his Scarlet Yang Body igniting as it spread across his body.


    '' My physical body is definitely improving. Now, I will fill my dantian with Fragrant Yin Qi while I will store Scarlet Yang Qi in Energy Pool Orb. With this, I can easily two types of technique for a sustained amount of time.'' Long Ming muttered.


    Suddenly, He felt a shadow blocking the sunlight as he smiled.


    " Good Morning, Miss Mu."


    " En, It looks like you practiced all night, huh? You are very diligent even if you are staying in a brothel." Mu Qinglian spoke with a light tone.


    " So? Why did youe here so early?"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she turned around. " Follow m. Today, Your second test will begin."


    Long Ming stood up as he wore his robe. Tying his hairs, He looked at Mu Qinglian. " Let''s go. I am ready."


    Sitting in the flying carriage, They soon reached the Four Seasons Valley. Mu Qinglian led him into a formation as both of them disappeared from their position.


    " This¡­ This is a Teleportation Formation?" Long Ming was surprised. " Wow, Where are we going?"


    " It''s a ce called Maze of Heart. Here, We can easily test a person''s soul power along with their Dao Heart." Mu QInglian spoke. " This test will test all of your aptitude all at once."


    Suddenly, Mu Qinglian''s figure vanished and Long Ming found himself standing before a stone door. Without thinking much, he opened the door.


    " Huh?"


    It was simply an empty room, with another door at the end of the room. The only thing noteworthy is that room''s floor tiles. Long Ming wondered what he should do as he took a step.


    However, suddenly he felt his body turning heavy as an invisible pressure fell on his body.


    " This¡­ This is some sort of gravity chamber?" Long Ming mumbled s he kept walking forward. After another few steps, he felt his body was getting heavier.


    " Well, This ce is good for a workout!" Heughed loudly as he hastened his steps. The more he walked forward, the more burdened his body felt.


    " Hmph!"


    As Long Ming reached the midway, he felt his physical body might be crushed under the pressure. Long Ming paused as he sped his hands.


    Suddenly, five crimson pearls appeared around it and they started to revolve around his body. Long Ming looked around as he couldn''t help but think.


    '' In a ce like this, There is bound to be surveince. I should use the Crimson Pearl Revolution Method to disguise my Scarlet Jade Great Body Art.''


    Long Ming didn''t wish to let anyone know that he is practicing the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art, a Royal grade Technique.


    After his body got powered by Scarlet Yang Qi, Long Ming felt the pressure on his body is slolwy dissipating. With his newfound power, He walked toward the exit.


    As he was about to reach thest step, Long Ming felt the pressure already increased by five times. He gritted his teeth as the Scarlet Yang Qi from the orb sted out.


    " Ahhhhh!"


    Long Ming covered his body with the Scarlet Yang Qi as he took a step forward. Without wasting any time, he kicked the door opened and jumped to the other side.


    " Master, You are already using the sixth circle. Without the cultivation of True Core Formation Realm." Mu Qinglian was anxious as she spoke.


    Beside her, a beautiful woman stood.


    She wore a pristine white robe, with her eyes sharp as an ancient sword. Her long hairs were like a river of darkness, gently caressing her waist. Her body was of perfect proportion, although men will definitely get attracted by her bust size.


    Nibbling her soft, red lips, looked at the screen before her with interest.


    " Well, Qinglian, Have you already developed your feelings toward him?"


    "Th-That''s not it." Mu Qinglian blushed as she looked at the woman. " However, I don''t think he can handle anything above the pressure of the sixth circle."


    " Well, He can handle, If he knows the way." The woman gave a gentleugh as she increased the pressure in the room.


    As Long Ming reached the final step, The woman was surprised when she saw the burst of crimson aura from his body.


    " As expected¡­ My suspicions were true."


    Mu Qinglian frowned as she looked at the woman. " Master, Is there something wrong with him?"


    " Well, We will know next. Whether he got any ulterior motive or not¡­ Everything depends upon thest round."


    " Haah! Haahhh!"


    Long Ming was on his knees as he was taking deep breaths. Thanks to his Scarlet Yang Qi, he managed to ovee the final pressure.


    '' But¡­.Now I feel like my body has be lighter.'' Long Ming sat cross-legged as he channeled some Scarlet Yang Qi from the Sunset Crystals.


    He almost consumed half of the Scarlet Yang Qi stored inside the Energy Pool Orb. However, The overwhelming energy of Scarlet Yang Qi was powerful enough to withstand that sort of pressure.


    '' My flow of qi, my body and muscles, I think they all went up by a grade. How strange.''


    When Long Ming opened his eyes, he was thoroughly shocked.


    He found himself sitting on the grass as he could see the beautiful scenery before him. With soft grass, the gentle southern wind of spring, Long Ming take off his shoes and walked on the grass.


    He could see a chain of majestic mountains and rivers before him, with a sun giving soft warm light.


    When he looked at his side, he saw a small pavilion. Five beautiful women sat there in luxurious, yet thought provoking dresses.


    Two of them walked forward as they made Long Ming sit along with them. Among their chatters, Long Ming was served the finest dishes and wine in existence.


    Long Ming onlyughed along with them as he closed his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    Food, wine, women, and nature, he got everything in one ce. After ying with them for hours, Long Ming get up as he adjusted his robe. Holding the most beautiful woman, a sword appeared in Long Ming''s hand.


    The sword turned bigger and bigger as Long Ming and that woman got on it. With a thought, both of their figures streaked across the skies as they visited various ces.


    " The Pce of Heart is the second andst test. It shows you what you desire."


    Long Ming remembered Mu Qinglian''s words as he hold the beauty in his arms.


    " So, What do you desire?" The beauty hugged Long Ming as she asked in a sweet voice.


    Long Ming grinned as he looked at the horizon. His days of staying on his bed and being a cripple who would die before reaching 20 shed before his eyes.


    " My wish is like this cloud." Long Mingughed as the flying sword soared to the sky.


    " Being a Carefree Immortal who roams across nine worlds and lives a fulfilling life, doing whatever I wish!"


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt everything fading into darkness as he found himself lying on a stone-cold ground.


    " Well, Even if this is an illusion, You should have given me a warning first." Long Ming grumbled as he got up and patted his dress.


    " ???"


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt a presence as he turned around. He saw Mu Qinglian standing with a beautiful woman. Just looking at him gave Long Ming tremendous pressure.


    However, he could guess her identity.


    " Long Ming greets the Sect Master of Four Seasons Valley."


    He bowed lightly as he cupped his fist. The woman walked forward as she nodded.


    " En, I didn''t expect you to be able to cultivate the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art. I guess the story of Ancestral Tablet was true after all."


    Long Ming''s body quivered as his back was drenched with cold sweat. Although the woman''s voice was tender, Long Ming could feel a surge of coldness in it.


    " I¡­"


    The Sect Master kept looking at Long Ming in silent for a moment as she sighed in her heart.


    '' When was thest time I saw a Carefree Heart?''

 Chapter 35: Sect Masters Decision! Lu Yanyus First Time?

    Chapter 35: Sect Master''s Decision! Lu Yanyu''s First Time?


    " I¡­ I guess Sect Master found out the truth." Long Ming kept his head lowered with his cupped fist. " If you give me a chance, I can exin¡­"


    " Haha, Perhaps you are afraid that I will use you of stealing the technique from our Scripture Pavilion?"


    With a light tone, she walked toward Long Ming without a calm face.


    " How amusing. Even with my divine sense, I can''t see your cultivation base. But I can feel your physical body is¡­strangely weak."


    Long Ming didn''t dare to move, but he was secretly astonished. He was amazed by the fact that even the Sect Master of Four Seasons Valley can''t see his cultivation.


    '' Strange¡­ I don''t have that sort of aura concealing treasures. Could it be¡­ My Shadow Dragon Breathing Method?''


    Long Minhg realized that after he cultivated the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method to its peak, no one could see his cultivation at all. That meant someone detecting him as a weak mortal is very small, even for powerful cultivators.


    '' So, It wasn''t all useless at all. The Shadow Dragon Breathing Method really got its advantage, huh?'' Long Ming adjusted his breath as his Deste Immortal Aura was on full disy.


    The Sect Master raised her brows when she saw Long Ming''s polite, but calm expression.


    '' Hmm, I can see his physical body is pretty weak. However, His cultivation base¡­ I don''t think he is using any sort of aura concealing treasure.''


    '' That peaceful face, he didn''t get any a shred of fear on his face. Could it be¡­ He already predicted my reaction?'' She thought inwardly.


    " I know how you got the technique." The Sect Master spoke in a calm voice. " You got the inheritance of our ancestors from the Ancestral Tablet, no?"


    " Sect Master is wise." Long Ming looked at her as he spoke with a polite tone. " My daoprehending ability is somewhatpetent. When I sat before the tablet, I could feel myself resonating with the Ancestral Tablet."


    " I saw many scenes shing before my eyes. I saw the Founder of Four Seasons Valley, Along with the Second Empress and others."


    " Finally, A voice spoke to me: Oh, The fated one¡­ Since you were able to resonate with us, we are giving you the duty to revive the Four Seasons Valley."


    Long Ming''s voice was calm but firm¡­At least on the outside. However, his heart was pounding wildly.


    '' Heh, I alreadyid my cards. Are you going to disrespect your ancestors? They already told you how important am I, right?'' Long Ming cackled in his heart.


    " While I do understand what you spoken is true¡­ You are still an outsider." The Sect Master sighed as she gently caressed the hilt of her sword.


    " What if you spread the core techniques of Four Seasons Valley outside? That would be very disastrous."


    " I¡­ I can make an oath. I will certainly not betray the sect." Long Ming replied. But his anxiousness increased.


    '' Whoa? Lady, You are not following the script! I got the inheritance! Are you going to defy your ancestors?!''


    " Even the heavenly oath can be broken if correct measures were taken. Therefore, I would rather not take any risk." The Sect Master spoke.


    Long Ming chuckled lightly as he took a deep sigh. " I shall await your decision, Sect Master. As I heard you, You are someone who upholds justice and walks on the path of righteousness."


    " I am sure that what you will choose will be good for both the sect and me."


    The Sect Master couldn''t help but let out a light chuckle. " Hmm, How amusing. Even at this stage, You are talking so calmly. Your heart is truly firm."


    " Fine, I give you a better choice than dying." She spoke. " Be a disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    Long Ming raised his brows when he heard that. " I believed Four Seasons Valley strictly focuses on female cultivators?"


    However, Even if Long Ming said that It was simply a golden opportunity for him. No way he is going to let it go.


    " Not to mention, If I be an ordinary disciple, There will be many people who will raise opposition regarding me using such high ss techniques."


    The Sect Master was startled as her eyes narrowed. " Well, What you said isn''t incorrect at all. Perhaps you are thinking of being my disciple?"


    " I didn''t say anything like that. I was simply raising my concerns."


    The Sect Master hummed as she turned around. " Three days, Three dayster, You willpete with a Core Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    " If you defeat her, You will be my True Disciple. And if you lose, You will be merely an Outer Sect disciple with no status." She spoke without looking at him.


    " But believe me, If you became an Outer Sect Disciple, I will simply make you a ve and squeeze out everything from you."


    The Sect Master vanished from her position, leaving only Mu Qinglian and Long Ming behind.


    Long Ming let out a breath of relief as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Well? That was very unexpected."


    " It was even more unexpected that you got enlightenment from the Ancestral Tablet." Mu Qinglian snorted lightly. " But, are you confident of defeating a Core Disciple?"


    " Why not? I think it''s pretty easy for me." Long Ming smiled. Mu Qinglian looked at him for a moment as she sighed.


    " You are truly someone who can hide things well, huh? You like acting like a pig to eat a tiger?"


    Long Ming chuckled. " Hmm, I wonder too. But since the test is over, How did I do it?"


    " You passed with flying colors." Mu Qinglian spoke with a light smile.


    " Then, Let''s go. I have a lot of things to talk about."


    As they returned to Eternal Spring Tower, Long Ming got a lot of information.


    Around twenty thousand years ago, A cultivatorprehended the essence of nature and cultivated the Dao of Four Seasons, bing the Heavenly Emperor of that generation.


    Before ascending to the higher ne, he established a sect called Four Seasons Valley.


    After the Four Seasons Emperor, The Four Seasons Valley produced another Heavenly Empress, Empress Winter Song.


    Eight thousand years ago, they produced the third Heavenly Empress, Empress Crimson Sky.


    The Four Season Valley, Created by a Heavenly Emperor. And it also produced two Heavenly Empress. In its heyday, It dominated the entire Eastern Province of Rain Dragon Continent.


    However, five thousand years ago, a cmity struck the sect, reducing its power by half.


    '' The Sky Martial Tower of the north is the true enemy of Four Seasons Valley. Not to mention, The Holy Qilin Empire is also looking at us with greedy eyes." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    " Although we were able to defend ourselves, this Imperial Tournament is very crucial for us. If we lost, We are going to lose many of our resources. That will be equivalent of cutting our lifeline."


    " Is this the same for Flower Boat Festival?"


    " Yes.'' Mu Qinglian nodded. " Perhaps you don''t know, But, The Blissful Heaven Temple is in fact, A sect created to keep Four Seasons Valley in check."


    " The disaster of thousand years ago destroyed many of our techniques and treasures. Therefore, Master is pleasantly surprised to find out that you managed to retrieve a powerful Royal grade technique."


    " But, Why didn''t you tell me, huh?"


    Long Ming rubbed under his nose. " Miss Mu, After Flower Boat Festival, I was naturally going to tell you."


    " Hmm¡­Is that so? I hope you were telling the truth." Mu Qinglian spoke as both of themnded on the terrace of Eternal Spring Tower.


    " Hohoho, Little Qingqing, You are here. Big Sis was really missing you, you know?"


    Meng Zhi chuckled as she saw Mu Qing Lian and Long Ming. " The Flower Boat Festival is tomorrow. Little Brother Long, You already prepared everything."


    " However, Why didn''t you do anything for Lu Yanyu?" She was a bit confused. " After all, She is our star."


    " Well, Good things are always reserved to thest, no?" Long Ming grinned. " I was going to do something for her today."


    " And, What is it?" Meng Zhi asked curiously. " The performance of other girls are top notch. I wonder what will be the role of Lu Yanyu will be?"


    " Hehe, You will know soon." Long Ming waved his paper fan as he walked toward the room Lu Yanyu.


    Lu Yanyu wore a loose dress as she was lying on a sofa. Hearing the knock, She understood who hade.


    " Lu Yanyun greets Master Long."


    Lu Yanyu gave a light bow to Long Ming as she smiled. Long Ming rubbed under his nose as he could see a good amount of skin under her loose robe.


    " Honestly speaking, Seeing all of my sisters'' performances, I am quite surprised. I never thought Young Master Long is someone who is so proficient in the art and culture."


    " Well, You can say I am talented in multiple fields." Long Ming sat beside a zither as he caressed its string gently.


    " Miss Lu is an expert of zither, hm?"


    " You can say I have some attainments." Lu Yanyu didn''t deny. Long Ming nodded as he started to y the zither.


    " Then, I will teach you a tune. I hope you can y it."


    " Uh¡­Miss Lu?"


    Long Ming''s body quivered as he felt Lu Yanyu was hugging him from behind.


    " Young Master Long, You must teach me this piece no matter what¡­" Her voice was soft and sultry as her palms roamed around his body.


    " If I win the Flower Boat Festival this time¡­ I will give my first time to you, Young Master."


    Long Ming was stunned as he felt his brain entered a 4D space.


    '' ??? What the fuck you are on,dy?''

 Chapter 36: The Flower Boat Festival Begins!

    Chapter 36: The Flower Boat Festival Begins!


    " Whoa, Calm down, Miss Lu. I understand that my music was pretty good. But, Isn''t your reaction a bit extreme?" Long Ming stopped ying the zither and asked in a soft voice.


    Lu Yanyu was a bit startled as she let go of Long Ming. " I¡­ I apologize for my misdemeanor, Young Master."


    " However, My proposal still stands." Her voice was firm.


    " Oh, I would like to hear the reason behind this." Long Ming held the wine ss beside him as he took a sip.


    Lu Yanyu paused for a moment as she sighed. " It''s just a short story. I shall exin briefly."


    " It was around ten years back? Around, three Flower Festivals Ago?" Lu Yanyu''s tone became low. " It was the time when the Four Seasons Valley and Blissful Heaven Temple were in a heated battle. Naturally, The Eternal Spring Tower and Blissful Hall werepeting for the Flower Boat Festival."


    " However, Blissful Hall was even more overbearing. They trained the prostitutes in the harshest ways. Unlike Eternal Spring Tower which focuses on Art and Freedom, Blissful Hall is simply a whorehouse."


    Lu Yanyu chuckled bitterly as she continued. " They dragged me away from my family and put me in jail. Hah, I remember how girls around me got vited by all sorts of things in the name of *training*."


    " But you know, I was lucky." Lu Yanyu spoke. " Sister Meng was very angry when they lost the Flower Boat Festival. She barged into one of those secret dungeons and rescued all the girls there."


    " From then, I tried my hard. I became the brightest Sky Pearl of Eternal Spring Tower. I even performed for the Imperial Princes."


    " However, No matter how hard I tried, Eternal Spring Tower didn''t win the Flower Boat Festival."Lu Yanyu sighed.


    " But, This time, I can feel it." Lu Yanyu looked at Long Ming. " Young Master, Since the day you came, You changed the entire Eternal Spring Tower. You are simply a man full of wisdom and creativity."


    " So, Young master, Will you not help me?" Lu Yanyu held the hands of Long Ming as she asked.


    Long Ming grinned as he raised her chin. " I can see the conviction in your eyes. However, After you will win, Will you fulfill your promise?"


    Lu Yanyu looked at Long Ming with straight eyes as she nodded. " Yes, I will. No matter what, I must defeat the Blissful Hall and make Sister Meng proud."


    " Then, I shall take my advance payment." Long Ming grinned as his face came close to Lu Yanyu''s.


    "Mm?!!"


    Lu Yanyu felt her soft lips get sealed by Long Ming''s lips as he gave her a deep and sensual kiss. His tongue parted her lips as it entered her mouth, gently caressing her tongue.


    Lu Yanyu felt a shiver running through her body as it was simply a new feeling for her.


    Staying in the brothel, She knows the affairs between men and women, However, it was still her first kiss. And Long Ming kissed her in the best way.


    '' Mm, Training with Xiao''er didn''t go to waste at all.'' Long Ming thought inwardly as their lips parted.


    Long Ming grinned as he could feel a string of Fragrant Yin Qi rushing into his body from Lu Yanyu.


    " I¡­ I guess that should be enough for you." Lu Yanyu blushed as she turned around. Her heart was beating wildly as she tried to calm down herself.


    '' It''s just a kiss¡­ Yes.''


    But when Lu Yanyu looked at Long Ming''s handsome face and his serene aura, her mind turned into a mess once again. She rubbed her lips as Log Ming''s taste was still lingering in her mouth.


    Long Ming smiled lightly as he unfurled his long hair. His hands tapped on the zither string.


    " Then¡­ Let me y this song for you once again."


    One day already passed as the evening was near. The sky was lit by the floating skyntern. Everyone gathered around the stages as the entire Grand Sky City was filled with a mood of festivity.


    " Ladies and Gentlemen, The Flower Boat Festival hase yet again! This evening is dedicated to all the beautiful women of the Holy Qilin Empire!"


    " Let''s eat, drink and enjoy!"


    " That man, He is the City Lord of Grand Sky City?"


    " Indeed, He is. The man next to him is the Imperial Advisor of the Imperial Family, Qi Ha."


    " Hmm, I see."


    " But in my eyes, The most handsome person here is you, Little Brother." Meng Zhi grinned as she looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming wore a dark violet robe with a crimson floral pattern. With his physique improving due to his cultivation, his body looked more mature. Along with his Deste Immortal Aura, he was akin to a dragon standing among mortals.


    " Oh, Is that so?" Long Ming grinned as he pointed his paper fan at the camp of Blissful heaven Temple. " I think that person there looks more handsome."


    " Heh, Impossible. As far as I know, He is one of the Core Disciple of Blissful Heaven Temple. He practices something like Yin Devouring Great Art, retaining his handsome face. He is totally not like you, Little Brother, who got a natural charm.""


    " Then, What is his cultivation?"


    " I think, Early stage of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm?"


    " Hmm¡­"


    Long Ming''s eyes wandered around as he noticed many factions there. Here, Meng Zhi and Mu Qinglian were standing beside him.


    Other than the Blissful Heaven Temple, There were some female cultivators from the Six Sword Pavilion, Purple Cloud Sect and some other noble families.


    " There are two stages. One for individuals and other is for the faction performance. The faction performance will start first." Meng Zhi spoke.


    It was like a group performance given by the various faction. The one received the most donation will be the winner. Of course, in this case, no one can cheat by using overwhelming amount of money because everyone will be watching each other.


    However, the donations are secondary. The one that will evaluate the performance will be the giant white lotus that was hovering in the sky.


    " It was a Royal Grade Treasure created by Heavenly Emperor Sacred Qilin. It was said that one day, he was looking at a pond of lotus and he got mesmerized by its beauty. In that spur of the moment, he made this treasure."


    " It has no attacking or defending property. But it can evaluate a thing''s beauty, its ability to resonate with the Grand Dao of Four Arts. When a performance taps upon the dao rhythm of Grand Dao, the lotus will open a petal."


    "There are total twelve petals. Last time, only eight petals were opened and it made Blissful Hall the winner."


    Long Ming looked at the gigantic floating lotus as he was amused. He knew if it was him performing, he could naturally get the best result from that treasure.


    '' However, Unfortunately, I am not an official member of Four Seasons Valley or Eternal Spring Tower. So, It will be inappropriate.'' He thought inwardly. But a smile appeared on his lips.


    " But well, I have confidence in my teaching. I am sure we are going to win this time."


    Meng Zhi grinned as she nodded. " Well, I too believe in you. Well, Since we are going to y, why not y bigger?"


    She turned around as she saw a middle aged woman. " Elder Han, I wonder if your Blissful Hall is prepared this time."


    " More than enough, Meng Zhi." Elder Han replied with a cid tone. " This time, Your Eternal Spring Tower got even lower chance this time."


    " Is that so? Meng Zhi chuckled. " Perhaps you got the Imperial Schr Liu to write another poem for you? Or got a new zither song from Grand Magistrate''s Hall?"


    " Does that matter?" Elder Han chuckled. " The only thing matter is the things in our hand. Who will know that these are not our creations, as long as we present them first?"


    " On the other hand, I heard you recruited a young talent?" Elder Han looked at Long Ming. " Our disciples suffered quite a bit from his hand."


    " Well? Things like that tend to happen often." Meng Zhi spoke. " Then, How about betting this time?"


    " Of course, I was waiting for you to ask that." Elder Han chuckled. " How about the ownership of the newly discovered Spirit Jade Mine?"


    " That''s low." Meng Zhi grinned. " How about we y big?"


    " I am betting the Scarlet Gold Ore mine along with 1 Million Mid grade Spirit Stones. Also, the loser will have to shut down their business for three months."


    Elder Han''s eyes narrowed when she heard that. " Meng Zhi, Are yous serious? Heh, If you lose, The Sect Master will strip your identity as an Elder."


    " Well, I guess Blissful Heaven Temple is too poor to y big. You guys are all talking." Meng Zhi spoke as she turned around.


    " Fine, I will bet the Millenium Blue Iron Ore mine along with the other two things. The loser will shut their business for three months." Elder Han snorted. " You dug your own grave, Meng Zhi."


    " Well, I dug the grave, but it''s not for me."


    The music began as the performance started. The first one was from Purple Cloud Sect. As their girls performed, three lotus petals bloomed in the sky.


    After that, several groups came and go. Most of them could go to the five petals.


    After that, The Blissful Hall went on the stage. It was a group of twelve. Two girls stood on both the left side and the right side, as scrolls in their hands unfurled.


    Two poems, side by side were before the spectators. As the crowd began to read that poem, the girls started to y the music.


    The music was ethereal as mist appeared around the stage, The mist turned into cranes as they flew to the sky. The clouds gathered as the cranes danced across the sky. The audience felt like they were floating in the sky.


    " Look at the petals! Seven petals!"


    " No, The eighth one is blooming! Huh? Th-The ninth one!"


    " Ten petals! Blissful Hall managed to awaken ten petals at once!"


    Elder Han giggled as she looked at Meng Zhi after the performance of Blissful Hall is over.


    " How is that? Do you have any confidence? Well, If you wish, I can reduce the bet."


    Before Meng Zhi could retort, she paused. She saw Long Ming holding her hand as he gave her a wink.


    " Don''t worry, Sister Meng. Our performance is going to start now. Let''s see who is going to have thestugh."

 Chapter 37: Immortal Swans Dancing Across The Sky

    Chapter 37: Immortal Swans Dancing Across The Sky


    After the Blissful Hall''s performance ended, it was the turn of Eternal Spring Tower.


    " Do you know? I heard Eternal Spring Tower has been preparing a special performance for today?"


    " Yeah, They even restricted many many courtesans from seeing customers because they were practicing."


    " Hehe, Let''s see."


    The audience became curious as the group from Eternal Spring Tower got on the stage. All of them wore pure white dresses with slightly revealing legs.


    The musicians sat as they prepared their instruments. The dancers also got ready.


    " Strange, Why Lu Yanyu isn''t in it?"


    " What? Lu Yanyu isn''t performing? Ugh, I don''t think it gonna be interesting."


    " Eternal Spring Tower is very bold, huh? Let''s see what they going to do now."


    Suddenly, the music began to y as the dancers moved ording to the rhythm.


    The tune was very slow, like the gentle rise of the moon. As the dancers moved with slow steps in a circle. One could see a pair of boys and a girl in the center of the circle, dancing as a pair of young lovers.


    It was a strange rhythm of music. None among the audience ever listened to that sort ofbination of musical instruments.


    The Imperial Advisor and the City Lord stopped chatting as they looked at the stage with surprised gazes.


    " Mm, Such a mild tone. It''s gentle and refreshing."


    As the tempo of the music rose, the days of romance passed between the lovers. With the rise of the music, the audience''s hearts began to thump.


    Not to mention, they could smell an intoxicating fragrance, making the air around them somewhat tipsy.


    Wine¡­ Everyone thought of wine.


    " Swans¡­ They look like swans moving in a pond!"


    " Amazing! Amazing!"


    As the pair of lovers danced together, their difference in status in society tried to separate them. The girl was from a noble family while the boy was only amoner.


    But one day, the boy got a letter from the army. Bidding farewell, He promised that he will return in three months as a general. At that time, he will definitely marry her rightfully.


    With the sudden change of tunes, the audience felt a pang of pain in their heart. The sudden separation made them uneasy.


    But, they gonna reunite after months, right?


    RIGHT?!


    Long Ming cackled inwardly as he saw the performance. The only thing he spoke in his heart was¡­


    '' Suffer!''


    The next part was a portrayal of the separate lives of both lovers. The boy fought on the bloody battlefield while the girl remained in her sheltered house.


    Slowly the music reached its peak as the boy finally returned being a general. With a heroic smile, he returned to his town as the stage darkened.


    But what is this? Why the house of the girl is decorated for marriage?


    Then suddenly, the beat dropped, along with the sword from the boy''s hand.


    In front of him, his lover got married to another noble in that city.


    " Nooooo!"


    " What the fuck!"


    " Bitch!!"


    The girl along with her husband, left walking beside that boy with a smiling face. The boy turned crazy as he wandered aimlessly for days.


    As he finally determined, he sneaked into that girl''s house at night, to demand an exnation.


    But then, the moment he sneaked into her room, she gave him onest nce with a smile before falling to the ground.


    Reading the letter, the boy understands that she actually loved him, but she got forced into that marriage.


    Along with her daily abuse, she finally took poison and died. But she was happy as she died in the arms of that boy.


    The swans dancing around them lowered for a moment as the boy also killed himself with his sword.


    As the swans flew away, the soul of the lovers rose as they danced across the sky. The starlight burst as both of them ascended to heavens.


    *BOOOM*


    Everyone was stunned as the entire ce turned silent after the performance ended. However, their attention got broken by a sudden noise as a white light shone from above.


    " Lo-Look at that lotus!"


    " My-My good! Twelve petals! The lotus ispletely bloomed!"


    The lotus bloomed as the sacred white light bestowed on all the dancers on the stage. They felt their body rejuvenate and their cultivation improve.


    " The Sacred Lotus''s Bestowal! It''s happening!"


    " Impossible!"


    Elder Han stood up as she looked at the sky. However, no matter how many times she rubbed her eyes, she couldn''t deny the fact she saw.


    Long Ming rubbed his palms in satisfaction as people threw their spirit stones with sobbing faces on the stage. Meng Zhiughed proudly as she hugged Long Ming.


    " Little brother! You did it! You made us win this round!"


    " Ahh! Sister Meng!!"


    Long Ming was startled as he felt his face being pressed against two soft and bouncy mountains. Mu Qinglian was stunned by the performance as she was still savoring the taste of the music.


    However, seeing that scene, her concentration broke as she hurriedly grabbed and pulled Long Ming away.


    " Sister Meng, Are you trying to choke him!?" Mu Qinglian snorted. Meng Zhi didn''t let Long Ming go as her lips came near his ears.


    " But I thought he will like it though." She grinned.


    Long Ming trembled as he felt Meng Zhi''s lips touching his ears.


    " Don''t worry, Little brother. Tonight, this big sister will give you a nice gift."


    " You!!! Don''t get too close to him!" Mu Qinglian blushed as she pulled Long Ming away.


    " And you, Couldn''t you make it a happy ending?" Mu Qinglian rubbed her eyes as she looked at Long Ming. " Why do you have to make it a tragedy."


    " Well? It got the effect we needed, no?" Long Ming gave a smug grin.


    Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky was one of the masterpieces Long Ming lovered dearly. He remembered that piece entirely. It was certainly difficult for him to recreate this technique here in Immortal Realm.


    But in the end, he seeded.


    He chose the music, the dress along with the girls with perfect expression.


    He also relentless brewed a fragrant wine and made every performer bath in it to gain a natural intoxicating fragrance.


    But it was worth it.


    The stage was drowned by the thunderous apuse from the audience as it continued for quite a while. Everyone couldn''t help but praise the performance from the bottom of their hearts.


    " Th-That''s¡­"


    Elder Han trembled as her face was like a squashed eggnt. Meng Zhi gloated as she looked at her.


    " Hoho, I wonder if our performance was satisfactory, Elder Han? Well, About the bet¡­"


    " B-Bet? What bet?" Elder Han turned around as she pretended to know nothing. " I don''t know what you talking about."


    Meng Zhi snorted. " Well, In case you can''t remember, I will show you this."


    Elder Han''s face twisted when she saw a jade piece in Meng Zhi''s hand. It shone as it showed the scene during the bet.


    " Re-Recording talisman? You!!"


    Elder Han stammered as Meng Zhi turned away.


    " Well, One always has to keep a n B in such cases like you, no?" Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " But since we are lenient, How about another bet?"


    " What?" Elder Han''s eyes narrowed.


    " If you win, everything will be null. But if we win, You need to pay us 100,000 High grade spirit stones."


    " What?! 100,000 High grade spirit stones?!" Elder Han gritted her teeth.


    " Why? I thought I am being generous."


    " Hmph! Fine! You want to y big? I will y big!" Elder Han snorted.


    " The one who will get better evaluation shall win." Meng Zhi spoke. Elder Han snorted as she returned to her camp as she instructed something to a beautiful girl.


    As for the individual rounds, the people were surprised when they saw Lu Yanyu going on the stage holding her zither.


    " Oh? Lu Yanyu is going perform?"


    " My! I wonder if it is going to good as the previous one."


    Lu Yanyu looked at Long Ming from a distance as she gave a smile of gratitude.


    She sat there as her fingers traced the zither string. Suddenly, the crowd fell silent as the only thing that remained was her song.


    The tune of zither became stronger and stronger as beautiful mes zed around her.


    The mes turned into burning flowers as they bloomed, swirling around her like a infernal tempest.


    As she sang a song along with her zither, she stood up as her body began to move. Each of her step was light as her body moved gracefully. However, it was enough to mesmerize the audience.


    A heart throbbing song Long Ming wrote for her along with her zither y, everything was perfect.


    The burning flowers bloomed as they rained from the sky. As the mes extinguished, Lu Yanyu finishe her performance as she gave a deep bow.


    " Wooohoo!"


    " What a spectacr performance!"


    " She did it! She lit up eleven petals. The twelfth petal was almost opened. But too bad, It didn''t work."


    " It was so close!"


    Lu Yanyu bowed as she came down from the stage. Elder Han fell to her knees her face was covered with despair.


    She thought she would make aeback in this round. However, Lu Yanyu''s performance totally crushed their morale.


    '' Eleven petals¡­ Eleven petals! How can we surpass that result?'' Elder Han clenched her fist so hard that her nails dig in her palm.


    Lu Yanyu rushed straight to Long Ming as she hugged him tightly.


    " I¡­ I want to say. Both thank you and sorry, Young Master Long."


    Lu Yanyu hugged Long Ming tightly. "Thank you for giving me such an opportunity."


    " And sorry that I¡­ I couldn''t awaken all twelve petals."


    Long Ming caressed her hair as he chuckled. " I won''t say I don''t feel a little regret. If you weren''t gotten suddenly nervous at your hundredth breath, you could have seeded."


    " But then, You still won, Miss Lu. So, Congrats on your sessful revenge."


    *SMOOCH*


    Long Ming was startled as Lu Yanyu kissed Long Ming''s cheek.


    " Hehe, I shall be waiting for Young Master Long to receive his reward from me."


    Lu Yanyu blushed brightly as she looked away. Without saying anything else, she left hurriedly.


    " Gah! You are getting popr among girls, huh?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she couldn''t help but speak in a raised voice.


    " I am just a charmer."


    Long Ming shrugged.


    But before he could say anything more, A new performance begin.


    And, It made twelve petals bloom.

 Chapter 38: Assassination Attempt

    Chapter 38: Assassination Attempt


    Long Ming''s eyes widened when he saw a young girl walking on the stage. In terms of age, she looked slightly older than Mu Qinglian.


    She wore a pink veil along with her tight-fitting violet robe with golden embroidery. Her figure was simply like a sculpture carved from a single piece of jade.


    Even if her face was hidden behind the veil, any man could be mesmerized by her beautiful violet eyes.


    Her instrument was a guqin she yed it after a light bow.


    The moment she started to y her guqin, Long Ming felt a powerful and sharp aura shot from the stage.


    It was like someone drawing an ancient treasure sword from its sheath. The moment it appeared, it showed its unparalleled sharpness to the world.


    The powerful aura turned into a blue wave of energy. The energy soared as it turned into a gigantic blue phoenix.


    The blue phoenix soared across the sky as it leaving a misty blue trail behind it. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he could see the shimmering Grand Dao amidst the tune of the music.


    '' Such pure water energy along with sharp sword intent. That guqin is definitely a powerful treasure.'' Long Ming mumbled. '' Not to mention, I bet that girl is at least a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm powerhouse.''


    As the music continued, the hovering white lotuspletely bloomed as it shone its sacred white light on that girl.


    " Look at that! The lotus bloomed again!"


    " Twice! The lotus bloomed twice today! It was unprecedented in history!"


    " Miss Mu, Who is that girl? She is so young, Yet her talent in Dao of Music is no joke."


    Mu Qinglian looked at that girl as she frowned a bit.


    " How strange, That woman came from the Ancient Jiang Family''s camp. However, I don''t thinks she is Jiang Family''s young miss."


    " The thing, is she affiliated with Blissful Heaven Temple?"


    Mu Qinglian shook his head. " I doubt it. If it was the case, That old hag would be jumping from joy. Not to mention, Ancient Jiang Family and Blissful Heaven Temple aren''t rted."


    Long Ming nodded as he cracked his knuckles. " Well, I guess the winner of this round is decided, huh? Although Lu Yanyu didn''t get the first ce, she still won against Blissful Hall, ah."


    Meng Zhi stretched her body as she prepared herself to her utmost before going to Elder Han.


    " Well well, I think we should still wait for your Blissful Hall''s performance. But, I doubt it can be better than our Lu Yanyu''s."


    " Yo-You! Don''t get too cocky!"


    Elder Han snorted as she gave Long Ming a side nce. " If you guys didn''t get unexpected help, Our Blissful Hall would have won."


    " Well, Excuses can be made anywhere." Meng Zhi chuckled as she showed the recording jade.


    " I hope you will fulfill your agreement. Otherwise, Your Blissful Hall will lose far more things you can imagine, ah." Meng Zhi gave a light grin as she turned around.


    " Ah, It was truly satisfying." Meng Zhi looked at the sky as sheughed. " After all these years, I finally seeded. Hehe, I should give everyone a big treat."


    As the prize was distributed, everyone in the Eternal Spring Tower cheered. But then, Mu Qinglian''s eyes narrowed as she suddenly noticed Long Ming wasn''t there.


    " Strange, He was here. Where did he go?"


    Her brows furrowed as she suddenly walked out. She looked at her surroundings but she couldn''t see Long Ming''s figure.


    '' The Blissful Hall already knows that Long Ming is the one behind our winning. They might target him.'' Mu Qinglian muttered in her heart.


    '' But seeing that rascal''s face, I think he definitely got one or two ways to defend himself.''


    '' Nevermind, I should try to find him and return. It''s alreadyte and he needs to practice for the Master''s test.''


    Mu Qinglian''s figure faded as she blended into the crowd.


    In fact, Long Ming stood near the stage as he fell into contemtion after hearing the music of the Ancient Jiang Family.


    '' In this world, there are so many talented individuals. No matter how much I try to giarize, the originals got their own charm.'' Long Ming pondered.


    '' Just because I know some extra things, I mustn''t belittle other''s talent. Otherwise, It might be fatal for me.''


    Thinking that, Long Ming was wandering around the stage. But then, he saw a person approaching him.


    " Perhaps you are Young Master Long?"


    " Yes?"


    That person bowed as he smiled. " I am the steward of City Lord''s Mansion. Seeing your recent spectacr creations, he wishes to meet you for some literary discussion."


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming thought for a moment as he shook his head. " I don''t think I am free right now. Besides, I believe you should talk with Eternal Spring Tower''s manager Miss Meng Zhi."


    " No, no¡­ You misunderstood. Our lord wishes to meet you specially. Dom''t worry, Miss Meng and Saintess Mu will be also there."


    " Well, Still¡­"


    Before Long Ming could say anything, he felt a light shiver through his body as he felt an ominous feeling rising in his heart.


    It was a feeling he never felt, but he could remember its taste. It was like a nostalgia he never experienced, but it was right there.


    What he felt was a very subtle, but straight Killing Intent directed toward him.


    Without any hesitation, Long Ming shouted in his heart.


    '' Crap! Scarlet Yang Battle Armor!"


    That person''s hand blurred as a ck colored knife appeared in his hand. It was light a sh of ck light as it charged toward Long Ming''s heart.


    However, At that moment, A bright crimson colored armor appeared around Long Ming''s body as the Scarlet Yang Qi flowed from the Energy Pool Orb into his body.


    The moment the daggernded on the armor, the scarlet light shone brightly as Long Ming got sted back.


    But before he could m on the wall, hended on his feet as his body twisted as he tried to escape.


    '' HOLY! HOLY SHIT!''


    Long Ming''s heart was thumping wildly as the remaining energy was used to boost his speed. Long Ming looked at his body as he saw some cracks on his Scarlet Yang Battle Armor.


    It was a skill he learned from the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art. Condensing the Scarlet Yang Qi, he can create powerful battle armor around his body that would grant him extraordinary defense. Not to mention, it will increase his overall performance.


    " That was attack was definitely from a mid-stage True Core Formation Realm cultivator. But I withstood it without any injuries." Long Ming wiped his sweat. But he realized that his Scarlet Yang Qi is emptied now.


    That means he won''t be able to use more of Scarlet Jade Great Body Art''s skills.


    As he was running, several flying daggers flew toward him like a beam of ck light. Long Ming could see their trajectory through his Heavenly Revtion Eyes as he twisted his body to dodge it.


    " ARRGH!"


    Long Ming got tumbled as an arrow shot out from nowhere and hit his back. The Scarlet Yang Battle Armor shone as it started to crumble. Without Scarlet Yang Qi fueling it, it will soon dissipate.


    But using the momentum of the impact, Long Ming propelled himself into an alley as he hurried down.


    " Damn, It''s slightly aching now. The energy armor won''tst any longer. If I get hit one more time, I will be a goner.'' Long Ming sneaked behind a wall as he retracted all his aura.


    '' Shadow Dragon Breathing Method! Concealment!''


    Long Ming concealed all his aura, even his breathing and heartbeat as he hid himself in shadows.


    It was method recorded in the Shadow Dragon Breathing method. Such a method will simply erase one''s existence, blending along with the shadow itself.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked at his surroundings with cold eyes.


    '' Bastards! There must be more than three killers lurking here! Those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards!''


    [ Ding! Minor Tribtion of Deste Heaven Murder Star has arrived! New mission issued!]


    [ Mission: Kill your pursuers and survive!]


    [ Reward: A Dark Gold Rank Treasure! 2. Cultivation of Viole Pce Expansion realm]


    [ Failure: Death]


    Long Ming paused as his eyes shone with a cruel glint. The gears in his mind rotated like crazy as he tried to think of a method.


    '' I have Sky Piercing Sword Talisman that can even one shot a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator, along with Golden Bell Defense Talisman that can block attacks from Primordial Spirit Unification Realm for ten minutes.''


    However, the Sky Piercing Sword Talisman is a single attack item. At most, he will be able to take out two enemies at once. But what after that? Long Ming might die from the retaliation of enemies.


    '' Hmm, Let''s see if they can find me first or not. Meanwhile, Let me prepare myself.''


    Long Ming opened his inventory as he sorted through his item. Finally, his eyes fell on the Supreme Weapon Chest he got from Courting Death System. Till now, he didn''t use it,


    The moment he clicked on it, several options appeared before him. It was asking for the weapon type.


    '' What a convenient gha. It even narrows the type of weapon I want.'' Long Ming sighed as he clicked on the bow.


    The roulette started to spin as the chest opened with a bright light.


    [ Ding! Host gets a Dark Gold Grade Weapon! Illusory Lightning]

 Chapter 39: Hunting The Hunters

    Chapter 39: Hunting The Hunters


    A pitch ck colored bow with blue patterns materialized before LOng Ming as he grabbed it.


    The moment Long Ming grabbed it, he felt like he was lifting a giant boulder.


    '' Damn, This bow is sure heavy!''


    Long Ming''s Fragrant Yi Qi channeled and the bow''s weight suddenly vanished. The blue colored patterns lit up as the Fragrant Yin Qi powered up the entire bow.


    [ Illusory Lightning: A Dark Gold grade treasure. A perfect weapon that leaves no trace behind. The arrow moved light as lightning but appears and disappears like an illusion. Even without any arrows, you can use your energy as arrows]


    Long Ming''s face suddenly turned into a twisted grin when he read the description. He hurriedly opened the God Of Wealth System''s shopping panel and scrolled through.


    [ Dark Iron Arrows: A powerful arrow that can even piece through the thickest metals and energy barriers]


    [ 5x costs 2000 Mid grade Spirit stones]


    Jun Tianyun hurriedly purchased the arrows. But since it was one time purchase, he couldn''t help but feel a bit regret.


    '' The other arrows are costing 10,000 mid grade spirit stones per arrow. I don''t have that much money right now. But these five arrows are Green Bronze Grade arrows. I am sure they will be effective if I use it along with my Fragrant Yin Qi.''


    Long Ming took out an arrow and nocked on the bow. Without making even the slightest sound, he drew the bowstring as he moved through the shadow.


    He saw a person jumping across the building as if he was looking for someone. Long Ming realized he was one of the pursues who attacked the home with an arrow.


    The bow arched to its maximum as Long Ming aimed that arrow at the running pursuit. A violent killing intent rose through his heart as he pointed his bow at him.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi revolved in his meridians as he used ? amount to pour in his arrow.


    But the moment he was about to release, a faint voice made his mind dizzy.


    " Don''t¡­Don''t kill. Don''t kill anymore¡­"


    *WHISH!*


    It made Long Ming a bit distracted as he released the arrow. He aimed directly at the head, but the voice made him lower his aim a bit.


    *BOOM*


    " AHHHH!"


    The man suddenly fell down from the building and his right shoulder turned into a bloody mist. The agonizing pain made him scream, alerting the ones who were pursuing Long Ming.


    '' Shit!''


    Long Ming wished he could punch himself as he hurried and hid in the shadows again. The man was lying in a pool of blood as two other people surrounded him.


    Jun Tianyun recognized one of them, who acted as the steward of the City Lord.


    " That bastard! He must be hiding here! Hurry up and kill him!"


    " Hmph, After we kill him, Four Season Valley will learn their lesson."


    Long Ming''s eyes turned cold when he heard the words. He thought the pursuers might leave if they saw theirrade like that. But it was all his wishful thinking.


    Suddenly, the steward turned around as he looked at the ce Long Ming was hiding.


    Long Ming realized he didn''t have much time as his entire body pushed to its peak performance.


    [ Basic Bow and Arrow mastery are resonating with Heavenly Comprehension Heart! Hostprehends the Dao of Bow!]


    Long Ming felt his Heavenly Revtion Eyes made the surrounding blurry as the only clear thing in his eyes were the trio in front of him.


    He didn''t notice, but he already knocked another arrow on the bow. It was like a blink of an eye as Long Ming''s other ? energy charged the arrow and aimed at the steward.


    The steward realized something as he was about to shout. But Long Ming was faster.


    He felt the voice in his heart emerging again.


    " Don''t¡­Kill."


    But this time, Long Ming resisted the urge as anger rose n his heart. Suddenly, his trembling hands became calm as he shot the arrow.


    The arrow was simply noiseless as it turned into a pink beam of light. Before that fake steward could do something, his eyes were already filled with pink radiance.


    *BOOOM*


    Long Ming stood still as he saw the head of that steward turning into a bloody mist and his headless body falling on the ground.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt his heart turning serene, like a frozenke amidst winter. There wasn''t a single ripple at all.


    He stepped out of the shadows as he walked toward the remaining two. He took out another arrow as he knocked on the bow.


    " Bastard! Just wait!"


    The third assassin shivered as he looked at Long Ming. Long Ming''s face was simply tranquil and calm. But it was too calm as if he didn''t have any expression at all.


    But then, the person turned around as ck mist covered his legs. He jumped as he tried to escape. The ck mist turned into a cloud as that person flew.


    '' Danger! That brat is so dangerous!'' His teeth chattered as he didn''t dare to look back.


    Although Long Ming looked calm and tranquil, that person could feel the overwhelming aura of killing and death around him. He felt like a crazy murdering demon who escaped from hell.


    A demon with a tranquil and handsome face.


    The ck mist spread across his body as he covered a protective barrier around his body. Suddenly, he felt another arrow chasing him and he focused all his energy to defend himself.


    *BOOM*


    The arrownded on his back as it shed against the ck mist. The ck mist dissipated as the arrow crumbled.


    " HAHA! I AM ALIVE! YOU CAN''T DO-"


    The manughed loudly as he was about to increase his speed. But his face froze when he saw there were already two more arrows reaching his side.


    As he was about to dodge the right one, the left one pierced his heart as the Fragrant Yin Qi exploded.


    " KHUAA"


    The man''s upper body turned into a bloody mess as he fell from the sky. Long Ming looked at the scene with calm eyes as he walked toward the one lying on the road with injuries.


    " Sp-Spare me! I¡­ I will tell you everything!" The man''s body twitched as he tried to beg for Long Ming''s mercy.


    " Blissful Heaven Temple! It was¡­"


    Long Ming''s palm moved as the remaining Fragrant Yin Qi in his dantian poured into his palm.


    ''Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm''


    " KAAHHKH"


    The person vomited a mouthful of blood as he felt his internal organ shattering into pieces.


    Thest thing he was Long Ming''s tranquil yet emotionless eyes as he died.


    Long Ming''s hands dripped with blood as he looked around.


    " Haha¡­.Hahahahaha"


    Suddenly, Long Ming looked at the sky as he started tough. His tranquil expression turned into something twisted and maniac as hisughter continued.


    " KUAHAHAHA."


    Long Ming fell to his knees and clutched his head. He tried to return to his sense as only one thought filled in his mind.


    " KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!"


    An unbearable heat spread across his body as he felt his mind would be overtaken by the killing intent.


    He knew he never killed anyone. But this feeling... It was like he was a master of killing people. If felt as if killing someone was same as breathing for him.


    Suddenly, He saw a silhouette of a person as his breathing increased.


    " You¡­You are here¡­"


    Long Ming''s vision was getting blurry as his grip over the Illusory Lightning was lessening.


    " Long Ming!"


    Mu Qinglian rushed as she hold Long Ming tightly.


    " Are¡­Are you ok?"


    But Long Ming didn''t reply as he fell unconscious.


    Mu Qinglian trembled as she could feel a thick killing intent from his body, a stark contrast to his refined and handsome face.


    '' His body¡­ He is burning.''


    Mu Qinglian untied his robe as she rushed back holding him. She could see the ck and white veins on Long Ming''s arms shining as the spider lilies seems to be spreading his left shoulder and chest.


    '' Just¡­ Just be safe!''


    Mu Qinglian prayed as she turned into a sh of light as she disappeared along with Long Ming.


    '' Pain¡­ So much pain.''


    Long Ming''s body twitched he felt like his soul was getting sliced apart by small knives.


    '' Kill more! Just kill one more person!''


    '' The greatest killer of heaven and earth!''


    '' Haha! You are the Master of the Mountain of Life and Death!"


    Long Ming felt like a hidden set of memories unlocked in his mind.


    '' Mo-Mom¡­Dad? Wh-What happened? HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?"


    He saw himself kneeling on the ground and crying before his parent''s corpses. It wasn''t long before his uncle seized all the assets and kicked him out of the mansion.


    " HAAHHH!"


    Long Ming''s eyes snapped open as he sat back. A terrible pain assaulted his body as his expression twisted from agony.


    " Yo-Young Master woke up!"


    Xiao''er saw Long Ming as she shouted.


    " Ugh¡­How long I slept for?" Long Ming clutched his head as he asked Xiao''er.


    " Three days, Young Master."

 Chapter 40: Violet Palace Expansion Realm

    Chapter 40: Violet Pce Expansion Realm


    " What?! Three days?"


    Long Ming was startled as he tried to get up. But he still felt his body aching along with a terrible headache.


    '' What a strong urge to kill someone. How can I have such murderous intention?'' Long Ming gritted his teeth as he was furious.


    '' I let my guard down. They really nned too well.''


    When Long Ming got attacked by the fake steward, he used momentum to get away from that fake steward.


    However, it was precisely the intention of that person to drive Long Ming to the alleyway.


    Long Ming also ran in that direction because he knew that the assassins probably sealed his path from going back to Four Seasons Valley. However, As long as he could stall time, someone would havee to find him.


    However, nothing went ording to n.


    '' But what the fuck happened to me? There are two types of voices in my head. One was stopping me from killing, and another one was making me a crazy murderer.''


    What terrified Long Ming, even more, was the feeling he felt after killing the first person.


    It was his first time killing someone, but he felt calm and tranquil. He felt like he didn''t kill a human at all but merely squashed a bug.


    '' And those memories¡­ When did mom and dad die? I remember they were talking about going on a business trip. And Uncle Han¡­ Why would he do that?''


    " What exactly I am missing?''


    " Young Master, Are you alright? You look¡­Tensed."


    Long Ming came back to his sense as he looked at Xiao''er worried face. He puffed out a breath of turbid air as he rubbed her head.


    " I am fine, I guess. But did I really sleep for three days?"


    Xiao''er nodded. " Indeed. All of us were so worried about you. Sister Meng hurried and got the best alchemist of the Grand Sky City for you."


    " However, He said your body is fine. But, You are suffering from a Qi Deviation."


    " Qi deviation?"


    Long Ming frowned when he heard that term.


    Qi Deviation happens when a cultivator''s soul and qi be disharmonious. It makes the cultivator''s qi flow berserk, giving crippling injuries or even death.


    " Strange, Qi Deviation¡­ It shouldn''t have happened. Why did it¡­"


    Before Long Ming could mutter anymore, a familiar fragrance entered his nose as her body was wrapped by a soft and stic figure.


    " Ayia, Little Brother, You finally woke up!"


    " Ugh! Sister Meng, If you press those mountains against my face, I will get unconscious again!"


    Meng Zhi giggled as she looked at Long Ming. "Oh? I thought you liked feeling them with your face? Was I wrong, hmm?"


    " Well, Since you are insisting so much¡­ I won''t deny your show of affection, Cough."


    Long Ming coughed lightly as he kept his face pressed on her breasts. Meng Zhi''s voice turned cold as she couldn''t help but snort.


    " Those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards. How dare they sneak attack you." She gritted her teeth as she couldn''t help but sigh.


    " But they got their lessons after getting tricked by me twice. They sent some hired mercenaries after you. So, No matter what, we can''t pin the me on them."


    Long Ming sighed as he tried to get up.


    " Heh, No matter what, they can''t escape their fate." Long Ming snorted. " But, I really have to thank Mu Qinglian. She really saved my life."


    Long Ming turned around as he saw Meng Zhi and Xiao''er looking at him in a strange way.


    Xiao''er was blushing brightly and trying to look away. Meanwhile, Meng Zhi was bold with fiery passion in her eyes as she gazed at Long Ming.


    " Certainly, Little Brother Long. I agree with you very much." Meng Zhi nodded, but her gaze was still locked on Long Ming''s bpdy.


    " Then why are you drooling!"


    Long Ming felt a cold wind on his skin as he finally looked down.


    " Wha-What the fuck! Why am I naked?!"


    Long Ming shouted as he hurriedly got the bedsheets to cover himself. But seeing it was only Meng Zhi and Xiao''er, he snorted as he threw the bedsheet back.


    " Well, You guys already saw everything. I don''t think I need to hide anything at all."


    " Yo-Young Master!"


    Xiao''er shouted as she covered Long Ming''s body with the bedsheet. " You are so shameless!"


    " Tch, Xiao''er, You are blocking a good view." Meng Zhi sighed. " Or, you want to keep your precious young master to all yourself?"


    " I... I would never. I¡­ I am just his servant."


    Xia''er felt her cheeks burning with shame as she spoke in a low voice. Before Long Ming could reply, Mu Qinglian burst into that room.


    " I heard you woke up¡­"


    She spoke in a cheerful voice, but when she saw the scene, her smiling face stiffened.


    " May I know what is happening here?"


    " Whoa!!"


    Long Min got goosebumps when jhe heard Mu Qinglian''s icy voice. " Don''t just grab your sword hilt always. I just woke up and wrapped the bedsheet around me. Nothing strange is going on. Nothing really."


    " Are you sure?" Mu Qinglian grumbled. " And here, I was trying to persuade Sect Master to dy your duel."


    " Ah¡­ Three days already passed. I supposed to fight a Core Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, yes?" Long Ming spoke.


    " But looking at your condition, I doubt it. Sect Master already agreed to move the date forward."


    " No need." Long Ming got up as he grabbed his robe. " Just give me two hours. I will go to the Four Seasons Valley."


    " Are you serious?" Mu Qinglian snorted. " Do you think the Core Disciples of Four Seasons Valley are weak? Each of them is at least a True Core Formation Realm cultivator. Not to mention, there are also Primordial Spirit Unification Realm disciples."


    " It doesn''t matter." Long Ming chuckled. " Just give me some time to cultivate and I will be fine."


    " You¡­Fine." Mu Qinglian sighed as she looked at Long Ming. She snapped her fingers as Long Ming''s Illusory Lightning appeared in her hands.


    " I didn''t know you actually got a Noble Grade treasure. This bow is pretty good."


    Long Ming held the bow as he couldn''t help but smile. " Thank you again, Miss Mu, For saving my life."


    Mu Qinglian turned around as she waved her hands. " Don''t mention it. It''s also my fault that I let them attack you."


    " Also, You can just call me by my name if you wish. No¡­No need to be so formal."


    Long Ming could swear that he saw Mu Qinglian''s ears turning pink. But before he could look more, she vanished from her position.


    " Alright, You should make your preparations. I won''t disturb you anymore." Meng Zhi smacked her lips in a seductive way as she held Xiao''er and walked out.


    Long Ming sat cross-legged as he started to absorb the Fragrant Yin Qi from the Eternal Spring Tower. But this time, Long Ming felt the quality of Fragrant Yin Qi increased drastically.


    " It feels like it was directed toward me. So, I managed to gain the affection of almost all women here, huh?" Long Ming gave a lightugh as he crazily absorbed the Fragrant Yin Qi.


    [ Ding! Host overcame the Tribtion of Deste Heaven Murder Star! Host gets a random Dark Gold grade treasure!]


    [ Violet Pce Expansion Realm has been opened for Host!]


    Long Ming saw the notification as he took a deep breath.


    " FINALLY!"


    A twisted smile of victory appeared on his face as he tightly clenched his fist.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi gathered in his heart as he started to refine his blood with it. Long Ming was already familiar with the process, he was just implementing it.


    Not long after, he felt his blood and vitality draining as it gathered in his heart. His flesh was sapped and he looked like a skeleton wearing a human skin.


    '' Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth! Refine True Blood!''


    After the crazy infusion of Fragrant Yin Qi, Long Ming sped his palm as the pink light condensed into a single drop of blood.


    The drop of blood shone like a ruby, with a slight purple shimmer on it. It looked more like a crystal than a drop of blood. However, the moment Long Ming absorbed it, he felt his entire body rejuvenate with new vigor.


    Long Ming''s withered figure came back to life as the Fragrant Yin Qi coursed through his entire body like a tidal wave.


    The process repeated nine times as Long Ming condensed nine drops of True Blood. As the nine drops were made, they gave off an endless stream of vitality in his body and made his divine sea ripple.


    Long Ming felt his body, qi, and soul connecting deeply as the divine sea slowly expanded.


    The surface became smoother as a pavilion rose amidst. It was smooth and pristine, without any ws.


    '' The pce foundation of Violet Pce. I officially entered the Violet Pce Expansion Realm.'' Long Ming took a deep breath.


    But his heart didn''t calm down. He used the momentum as he forced forward.


    In Violet Pce Expansion Realm, there were simply two stages. Pce Foundation, Celestial Pirs.


    Long Ming already reached the first stage, but he didn''t stop. He already knows the essence of the Violet Pce Expansion Realm thanks to the Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth.


    The pce foundation trembled the Fragrant Yin Qi started to build the pirs.


    Technically, One can ascend to True Core Formation Realm after forming three Celestial Pirs. However, Three pirs aren''t the limit and are also called the weakest pce.


    In total, one can build nine pirs on the pce foundation. Three pir pces are the weakest while nine pir pces are the strongest.


    Celestial Pirs are as their name implies. They support the foundation of the cultivator''s Violet Pce and give them the connection with the Grand Dao and the Laws of Heaven and Earth.


    The Violet Pce Expansion Realm Cultivator with nine pirs can even beat the True Core Formation Realm cultivator.


    Long Ming''s dantian turned into a sea of pink qi as he crazily absorbed the Fragrant Yin Qi. However, he also didn''t forget to take out some remaining Sunset Crystals to absorb Scarlet Yang Qi.


    The Fragrant Yin qi and Scarlet Yang qi, both began to form the Celestial Pirs on the pce foundation of Long Ming.


    After Six hours, nine bright pirs of night shot from Long Ming''s body.

 Chapter 41: True Disciple!

    Chapter 41: True Disciple!


    Long Ming opened his eyes as he could feel the brilliance of the Nine Celestial Pirs in his Violet Pce.


    '' wless Foundation, Nine Celestial Pirs and a Top ss Violet Pce in my dantian. I achieved the pinnacle of Violet Pce Expansion Realm.''


    He closed his eyes and his divine sense spread out. As the Heavenly Revtion Eyes were in sync with his divine sense, he could feel everything in his hundred meters area.


    Long Ming let out a light sigh as he got up and stretch his body. The best thing he achieved from Violet Pce Expansion Realm was the expansion of his dantian. He can now store more energy in it.


    " Haha, I guess I was a bitte, huh?"


    Long Ming gave a lightugh as he walked out of his room. Mu Qinglian was startled as she looked at him.


    " Indeed, You took quite some time. But since you were cultivating, I didn''t disturb you."


    Long Ming cupped his fist. " Very well, Let us go to the Four Seasons Valley."


    " You¡­You look different." Mu Qinglian spoke after being silent for a while as both of them were in the flying carriage.


    " How is that?"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming for a moment as she shook her head. " You certainly don''t look weak or pathetic as before. Not like you were¡­but it seems you grew up."


    " Hoho, Thanks for thepliment, Miss Mu."


    " I told you not to be formal." Mu Qingliang grumbled lightly. Long Ming smiled as he nodded.


    " Fine, Sister Mu."


    When they reached the Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming''s eyes narrowed.


    " Wow, The crowd is pretty huge, huh?"


    Mu Qinglian chuckled. " After all, They are all here to see the match between you and the Core Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he saw the scene.


    " Sister Mu, Would you do me a favor?"


    " Hmm?"


    Mu Qinglian got goosebumps when she saw the crafty smile on Long Ming''s face. It was the same as a fox who is tricking a hare toe into itsir.


    Elder Cai walked onto the stage as she looked at the audience.


    " Today, A friendly spar between Young Master Long, the benefactor of our Eternal Spring Tower, and a disciple of our sect is going to happen."


    " Shui Huan, A Peak stage True Core Formation stage realm cultivator. Shui Huan, Get on the stage."


    A woman wearing a tight yellow robe walked on the stage as she gave a bow. Then, Elder Cai looked at Long Ming as she nodded.


    " Long Ming, Get on the stage."


    Long Ming''s purple robe fluttered in the wind as he adjusted his hair. The Plum Blossom Paper Fan waved gently as he walked on the stage.


    " So, He is Long Ming."


    " My God¡­ How can he be so handsome!"


    " He looks like an immortal from the divine realm."


    " Such untainted and sacred aura!"


    Long Ming gave a gentleugh as he could see his body rapidly gathering the Fragrant Yin Qi from the surrounding girls. Since almost all disciples of Four Seasons Valley are female, it was like a tinum-grade XP farming spot for him.


    But Long Ming didn''t absorb the Fragrant Yin Qi, because, in terms of purity, it was pretty shallow.


    " Long Ming greets Sister Shui. You look pretty today."


    Long Ming cupped his fist as he looked at Shui Huan. Shui Huan blushed lightly as she looked away.


    " Ahem, Shui Huan also greets Young Master Long. Let''s have a fair and fruitful match."


    Long Ming nodded with a smile. " Indeed."


    " Therefore, I will let you attack first."


    Shui Huan took a deep breath as she tried to calm her heart. Her hand gripped the saber hilt as she pulled out the saber.


    " Very well, Young Master Long. I hope you can face it." Shui Huan''s voice rang as her figure came charging at Long Ming.


    " zing Fire Three sh!"


    The saber burst with crimson mes as Shui Huan shed at Long Ming. It looked like the saber turned into a mass of zing red me as it surrounded Long Ming.


    Long Ming only smiled as her feet moved. Like a slippery loach, he suddenly got out from the attack.


    " Hmph!"


    Shui Huan didn''t stop as she kept pressing forward. Her shes became faster and faster as it was sabers of mes descending upon Long Ming.


    However, Long Ming could easily dodge every attack of Shui Huan. It was as if he could see through her attack pattern.


    Here, outside the stage, Luo Yingying and Mu Qinglian were watching the match with excited eyes.


    " But Sister Mu, Doing this necessary?"


    " Well? That bastard asked me a favor¡­ I couldn''t deny him." Mu Qinglian sighed as she looked at her stall.


    " Look! Saintess Mu opened a betting stall!"


    " My goodness! Look at the odds!"


    " 100:1? Whoa? If Shui Huan wins, we will get 100x of our betting money?"


    " Hmm, This looks so fishy. Could it be, Long Ming is that powerful?"


    A girl shook her head. " You don''t understand. Defeating Sister Shui is very difficult. Even if she is at the Peak of True Core Formation Realm, her battle power is several times higher than that."


    " I heard she mastered the Scorching Saber Arts to the Grand Completion. Then, her saber y would be even more powerful."


    " Let''s see."


    Mu Qinglian also invited some elders and she asked them to bet.


    " Hmm, You are right, Qinglian. There aren''t many chances where we can have some fun."


    " Haha, I am betting my Crimson Jade Bracelet."


    " Really? I am betting 1000 mid grade spirit stones."


    As Mu Qinglian was sorting the bets, she felt a faint presence.


    " I am sure you would never do such things. Did that brat ask you to set this stall?"


    Mu Qinglian gave a sigh as she nodded. " Yes, Master."


    " Haha, How amusing."


    " But, what do you think?" Mu Qinglian spoke. " Do you think he will win?"


    " Hmm, I wonder too. I am very sure that he will lose. But¡­ looking at him, I feel like he is someone who is filled with numerous surprises." The Sect Master replied.


    " But well, We will benefit in both ways, whether he wins or loses."


    " Master¡­"


    Mu Qinglian turned speechless when she heard her master.


    Here, the battle on the stage was getting fiercer as moments passed. Long Ming''s footwork was amazing as he was able to dodge Shui Huan''s attack precisely.


    " Haah! Do you only know how to dodge?"


    Shui Huan felt annoyed as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Dodging is also a skill, no?"


    " Let''s see if you can dodge this as well."


    Shui Huan snorted as she held her saber vertically. The look in her eyes changed. A sharp aura erupted from her body as the saber was covered with a thick ming pir.


    " me Saber Intent! Sky Sundering!"


    Long Ming could see a sea of me charging toward him as it blocked all the escape routes. This time, Long Ming couldn''t dodge even if he wishes.


    " Very well, Let me test my power as well." Long Ming took a step back as the Plum Blossom Fan flung open.


    " Blossoming Wind sh!"


    The Fragrant Yin Qi lit up the peach blossom diagram in Long Ming''s fan as blossoming petals swirled around his body. It turned into a de made of petals as it shed with Shui Huan''s attack.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    The raging me tide got blocked by Long Ming''s attack as he waved the fan once again.


    The Fragrant Wind sh was an attack recorded in his Plum Blossom Fan. Empowered with his Fragrant Yin Qi, it can bring forth a destructive power.


    However, using this chance, Long Ming closed the distance between him and Shui Huan''s.


    " Heh, You made a mistake!"


    Shui Huan chuckled as he saber flipped. Her body twisted to left side as he made stabbing move toward Long Ming.


    " Scarlet Yang Battle Armor!"


    *BANG!"


    Long Ming moved his paper fan as a radiant crimson colored armor appeared on his body. It gave an overbearing momentum to Long Ming''s body as his paper fan blocked the stab of Shui Huan.


    However, at that moment, his palm stuck out as a purple swirl covered it.


    " Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm!"


    *BOOOM*


    Shui Huan felt like she got hit by a giant rock as her qi channels got disrupted.


    " Ughh!"


    Blood spilled form her mouth as she got sted back. Long Ming used this opportunity as his fan sted out,


    A wind filled with pink petals swirled as it swept away Shui Huan.


    *BANG!*


    Shui Huan winced in pain as she fell outside the stage. Long Ming walked toward her as he suddenly felt a surge of pain in his mind.


    '' Kill!! Killl her! Kill! Kill!''


    Cold sweat drenched his back as he hurriedly shook his head to calm down. '' Damn it, Just what''s with this overwhelming murderous thoughts?''


    " Miss Shui, Are you alright?"


    Shui Huan wiped her blood on her lips as she saw Long Ming giving her a hand. Holding his hand, she got up and bowed.


    " You won, Young Master Long."


    Long Ming closed his paper fan as he smiled. " It''s just a friendly spar. I almost got lost, you know?"


    Suddenly, the crowd got silent as they looked at the stage. Long Ming turn around his head as he saw the Sect Master of Four Season Valley standing on the stage.


    " Everyone, I hope you all saw the match. I wonder if anyone got any doubt regarding Long Ming''s strength?"


    Everyone felt strange as they shook their heads. They didn''t doubt Long Ming''s strength, but why Sect Master is asking that?"


    " Very well, I have an announcement to make."


    Her white robe fluttered in the wind as an imposing aura covered the entire area. Even Long Ming felt slightly suffocated.


    " I, Xia Yuqing, The Sect Master of Four Seasons Valley shall take Long Ming as my fourth and final disciple. From today, he will be a True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    " What?!!!"


    The silent crowd erupted when they heard the announcement.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming was startled because the system window appeared before him.


    [ Ding! Abnormalities in Host detected! Information about Deste Heaven Murder Star]

 Chapter 42: Xia Yuqing Accepting Long Ming

    Chapter 42: Xia Yuqing epting Long Ming


    Long Ming sat on a seat as he expanded the System Window. '' Now, Why don''t you borate?"


    The panel before him blinked for a minute before rows of information appeared before Long Ming.


    [ Deste Heaven Murder Star: An evil fate that brings forth chaos and destruction. You, who transcended life and death, the cycle of samsara, carrying huge karma]


    [ To not let the Chaotic Murder Heart gain control of your fate, Host should refrain from killing on your own. If you kill, you have to bear the consequences of the actions]


    [ The effect of the first time was negated by the system. But next time, you have to bear on your own]


    " What the¡­"


    Long Ming frowned when he saw the information. It was simply absurd when he digested the information. No killing in this world?


    What a joke!


    In a world where the strong preys the weak, where an entire country can be razed down to the ground by a sweep of a palm and a myriad of people die with a snap of a finger, the System was asking Long Ming to not kill.


    '' I am not a murder hobo. But I certainly know the consequences of letting my enemy go away instead of killing him. But now¡­''


    [ Ding! The Demon Lord of Lust intervenes. He says you don''t need to resist the urge to kill. Because he has a sure-shot way of dealing with the aftermath]


    " Whoa?"


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he saw that. Before he could ask him anything else, the system panel suddenly shut down.


    [ Ding! Unauthorized ess detected! Law of Causality is affected!]


    " What the fuck! At least let me know the solution!" Long Ming raged when he saw that. But after a while, he fell silent as he pondered.


    '' Hmm, Although the restriction is pretty strict¡­ What if I find a loophole?'' Long Ming thought about it.


    " Long Ming, What are you thinking so hard?"


    " Ah, Sister Mu, You are here!"


    Long Ming stood up as he greeted Mu Qinglian. Mu Qinglian was grinning ear to ear when she looked at Long Ming. " Well, I guess your n worked. I got tons of money from the betting stall. Heh, I never thought these disciples hiding so many spirit stones."


    " Well, As amission, I am taking ? of it, Rest of it, you can keep it." Mu Qinglian handed a pouch to Long Ming. He looked at it and saw there are over 500,000 Mid grade spirit stones.


    " Haha, I guess they really invested quite an amount in the hope of high return, huh?" Long Mingughed as he kept the spirit stones. Mu Qinglian nodded. " Thanks to it, we got quite some money this time."


    " But I am not here for this thing. The Sect Master is calling you to meet her. You should follow me."


    Long Ming nodded as he closed his paper fan. Adjusting his hair, he walked gracefully behind Mu Qinglian.


    " Hey, Do you know, That man was invited by Saintess Mu."


    " But to think a male will manage to be a disciple of Four Seasons Valley. A True disciple on top of that."


    " Although the True Disciple position was vacant, I think it''s a hasty move."


    "Let''s see how it goes."


    However, most of the girls got a strange fire in their eyes when they saw Long Ming walking gracefully.


    " Mm? Why am I feeling a sudden shiver?" Long Ming rubbed his arms as he looked around. But he didn''t find anything abnormal.


    " I finally reached the Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Should I be able to practice a cultivation technique now?'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    [ Ding! Answering the Beta Tester, The Infinite Roulette rmends you not try to reach higher cultivation stages hastily. The more time Host spends in the lower cultivation stage, the better it is]


    Long Ming turned speechless when he saw the panel.


    '' Are you messing with me? While others are literally three or four great realms ahead of me, you are telling me to not cultivate fast?''


    '' Hah! Are you finally admitting you are a scam? Or should I say, skem?''


    [ Host, That was a veryme joke ;]


    [ Answering Host''s previous question, As Host is carrying a huge amount of karma, if you reach a higher level of cultivation without any precaution, you will face cmity where you will die, along with your surroundings will face destruction]


    [ Also, If you grow faster, won''t you be less reliant on the systems? How can I get feedback from you?]


    [ Therefore, You can only increase your cultivation after you do special quests.]


    " But, If I wait for the special quest, won''t I stay as a weakling forever?" Long Ming couldn''t help but ask in rage.


    [ Host shouldn''t think like that. With enough strategy, even an ant can topple an elephant. Host is smart, you can pave your own way]


    " What a cunning bastard!"


    " Long Ming, Are you alright?"


    Mu Qinglian asked with concern. She saw Long Ming''s expression turning joyful to frown, then angry in a matter of moments. She wondered if Long Ming got hit on his head.


    " I am fine, Sister Mu. But to think, This pce is simply majestic. Is this the main hall of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Indeed, You can say it''s my personal abode."


    Long Ming narrowed his eyes when he saw Xia Yuqing appearing before them out of nowhere.


    " En, Qinglian, You can go now."


    Mu Qinglian bowed as she left the pce. Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming and chuckled lightly.


    " My, I almost thought you wouldn''t pass the test. I guess I underestimated you."


    Long Ming only gave a light smile but he didn''t say anything. Xia Yuqing pointed at Long Ming and beckoned him to follow her.


    " Four Seasons Valley¡­ If you said this name three thousand years ago, The name alone could suppress anything in the Eastern Province. Even in the entire Rain Dragon Continent, Our name used to be renowned."


    " However, After an unexpected cmity, Almost all of our top powerhouse got annihted. Not to mention, After a war with Sky Martial Tower, we almost lost whatever we had."


    Long Ming listened to everything without saying anything. Xia Yuqing stood before a hall of portraits as she sighed.


    " Thousands of years ago, Four Seasons Valley epted both male and female disciples. The practice was divided into two branches, Yin and Yang branches."


    " However, after the cmity, wepletely lost the Yang branch. Thus, we are unable to make the male disciple study here. Because, if they try to cultivate the Yin branch, they will suffer qi deviation."


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she continued. " The Yang branch stems from the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art. I never thought I would be able to see it."


    " The Ancestral Tablet was unusual indeed. However, no matter how much our predecessors tried, they couldn''t do what you managed to do."


    " Therefore, You asked me to be your disciple?" Long Ming finally opened his mouth. Xia Yuqing looked at him and nodded.


    " You are wise, and also pretty cunning. The way you handled the situation in the Eternal Spring Tower was impressive."


    Xia Yuqing nodded. Long Ming couldn''t help but get attracted to her charming face, along with her red lips that looked like rose petals. But that cold aura around Xia Yuqing can make anyone shudder.


    " However, The thing is¡­ I don''t think introducing the Yang branch to the sect is necessary¡­ Not at least now." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " But you would still like the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art from me nheless." Long Ming chortled. Xia Yuqing nodded. " Just because I don''t need ow doesn''t mean I won''t need it in the future."


    " So, Come here and drop your blood on this stone."


    Long Ming walked and saw a crystal before him. He bit his finger and dripped his blood on it.


    " From now on, You are the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley. The sect will give you all the facilities of a True Disciple. In return, you will stay loyal to the sect till you leave the sect with permission." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " If you break the oath, the heavenlyw shall judge your sin and punish you."


    Long Ming nodded as he cupped his fist and bowed. " Long Ming greets Master."


    Xia Yuqing chuckled when she heard that. " My, You sure know how your please someone, don''t you? Since you already called me Master, It will be very unsightly of me to not treat you like a disciple."


    " Tell me, my new disciple, What do you wish for?"


    Long Ming felt his vision blurring as he realized his surrounding changed. He and Xia Yuqing appeared in a building and he could see various scriptures around him.


    " This is the Treasure Tower of Four Seasons Valley. It is the ce where we store our treasures and manuals."


    " As the privilege of a True Disciple, You can choose a Noble grade treasure along with a Sky grade Manual. I would rmend you take the Cloud Mending Palm. It will go well with your Scarlet Jade Great Body Art." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    Long Ming saw the floors and floors as he couldn''t help but be interested. " Master, I would like to go to the highest floor."


    " Is that so?"


    Xia Yuqing raised her eyebrows. " I suppose you wish to take a look at the powerful techniques and treasures?"


    Long Ming hurriedly nodded. Xia Yuqing couldn''t help but snort lightly. " Just let me tell you, You can''t choose any of them. But, The thing is¡­ I doubt you will like the scene."


    Xia Yuqing and Long Ming vanished as they reached the top most floor of the Treasure Tower. Long Ming''s eyes widened when he saw the scene.


    " Isn''t Four Season Valley produced three Heavenly Emperors? Shouldn''t there be at least a dozen Imperial grade Techniques, if not a couple of dozens?"


    But when he looked at Xia Yuqing''s deadpan eyes, he shut down immediately.


    " No need to be afraid. You are right in that regard." Xia Yuqing sighed. " The thing is, Those things got lost when the cmity happened. Not to mention, Those Sky Martial Tower stole another few of them."


    " As for Imperial Treasures, There are only five of them. The Imperial grade techniques are only limited to eight."


    Long Ming took a breath of cold air as he looked at his surroundings. The situation of the Four Season Valley was worse than he thought.


    Is this really a sect that produced three Heavenly Emperors? The existence that can roam under the heaven without any fear?"


    '' But to think of it, Other than Scarlet Jade Great Body Art, Azure Heaven Nine Revolutions and Storm Hawk Cloud Traversing Art isn''t here. That means¡­ Only I have them in my mind.''


    Long Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he looked at Xia Yuqing. " Master, What cultivationw do you practice?"


    " It''s called Four Seasons Grand Swordy, the technique created by the Founding Ancestor of Four Seasons Valley. Unfortunately¡­"


    Xia Yuqing paused as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Nevermind. I know about your cultivation aptitude. But yourprehension is truly astounding. Seeing you also have some fighting capabilities, I hope my choice isn''t wrong."


    " So, Take your pick here."


    [ Ding! Constetion Gold Guarding Miser Dragon is gloating. He is asking you how are you going to fulfill the main mission as only one day is remaining]


    Long Ming''s lips curled when he saw that message. '' Since this lizard is asking for it, I can''t just say no¡­''


    Long Ming bowed before Xia Yuqing.


    " Master, Can I get one million High grade Spirit Stones?"

 Chapter 43: Misson Passsed! Respect +

    Chapter 43: Misson Passsed! Respect +


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming without batting an eye. " Do you know what you are asking?"


    " Yes."


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she shook his head. She closed her eyes as she vanished for a moment. After a while, she reappeared and threw a ring at Long Ming.


    The spatial ring looked much more luxurious with intricate patterns. " Here, One million High grade Spirit Stones."


    " You¡­ You actually gave it to me?" Long Ming turned speechless. " I mean, You didn''t ask why I am asking this much money? Or, What am I going to do with it?"


    " I know you are a smart person, My youngest disciple." Xia Yuqing replied. " I am sure you won''t do something that will force me to act personally, right?"


    Long Ming tried to answer, but he remained silent. In a subtle way, Xia Yuqing already warned him, not to mention, It was also a test for him.


    '' Thankfully, I really don''t need all that. But then, Time toplete the system mission.''


    When Long Ming realized the system glitch in the God of Wealth System, he already decided how toplete the main mission without breaking a drop of sweat.


    However, Long Ming bade his time. He didn''t wish to let the Gold Guarding Miser Dragon meddle in the situation and fix the glitch beforehand. It was good to stay cautious.


    Now, since the System''s time of 14 days is almost over, Long Ming found a good opportunity toplete his mission.


    [ Ding! Host acquired one million High grade Spirit Stones! Main Quest isplete!]


    [ Ding! Host is rewarded with a Divine ss Box with 100% Drop rate! Host gets clearance to next System!]


    [ Host gets Random Physique Orb (Minimum Royal ss)]


    [ Ding! Gold Guarding Miser Dragon is furious! He is saying such exploitation is shameful!]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is gloating on Gold Guarding MiserDragon''s misfortune! He is asking him to lend some of his wives if he is unable to pay for the Causality]


    [ Gold Guarding Miser Dragon: Bastard! Stop eyeing on my women!]


    [ Harem King of Nine World: What do you mean by eyeing? You know, I already did much more than just eyeing! Haha, Did you know, I entered your pcest night¡­]


    [ Constetion Chaotic Evil Contractor is grabbing some popcorn out of interest]


    [ Constetion Chaotic Evil Contractor is interested in your devious method of fulfilling the Quest. He shows interest in you!]


    Long Ming couldn''t help but chuckle aloud when he saw that. '' Chaotic Evil Contractor? Sounds like he is also a bug exploiter.''


    '' Ah from bug, I wonder where is my monocle¡­''


    [ Ding! Warning, you are going out of your universe! Don''t mix things from other books here]


    Long Ming coughed lightly as he passed the ring back to Xia Yuqing. " Seeing Master''s sincerity, I am deeply moved. So, I will only take 50,000 High grade Spirit Stones."


    " Oh? Are you sure?"


    " Of course."


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming for a moment as she nodded and took the ring back. " From now on, You can stay on the Solitary Flower Peak. It''s a neighboring peak of Mu Qinglian''s abode. Here, this is your token."


    Long Ming received a four colored jade token as he nodded. Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as they suddenly reappeared in arge garden.


    " So, Is there anything you wish to learn? As your master, I ought to give you some guidance."


    " Master, I heard about special physiques, but I don''t know what they are. Can you exin it?"


    Long Ming suddenly felt a bone chilling aura as Xia Yuqing''s eyes abruptly narrowed. It was as if like Long Ming asked something he shouldn''t have.


    '' Did¡­Did she really show killing intent toward me? It was so scary.'' Long Ming felt his legs turning jelly, but he kept a calm attitude.


    " Ahem, I am sorry for my sudden reaction." Xia Yuqing took a deep breath. " Physiques are something you can say, transforming a mortal''s body into something special. Some are born with special physiques while some can cultivate them with appropriate methods."


    " The special physiques can invoke wondrous effects and boost a person''s ability tremendously. The ssification of physiques is Spirit Grade, Noble Grade, Royal ss, Imperial ss, and Ancient Heaven Grade."


    " Four Season Valley used to have Physique Cultivation Laws before, all of them were Imperial Grade Phyqiuews. But now, There was only one Imperial grade and three Royal grade Physique Cultivation Law."


    " You can only start cultivating a Phyqiue Cultivation Law at True Core Formation Stage. But if you have an Inborn Physique, that''s all different matter."


    " I see, Thank you for enlightening me, Master." Long Ming bowed. " After the spar, I am feeling a bit tired. Can I go and take some rest?"


    " Un, Sure. Come to meet me tomorrow. We will have some talk." Xia Yuqing nodded as she vanished from her position. Long Ming sighed as he returned.


    " Hmm? Xiao''er?"


    Xiao''er bowed before Long Ming. " Greetings, Young Master Long. Sister Meng now allowed me topletely be your maid. So, I will stay with you from now on."


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming grinned as he gently raised her chin and looked into her eyes. Xiao''er blushed when she saw that. " En, I shall show you the way to your new abode now."


    Long Ming turned speechless when Xiao''s started to fly.


    '' Now I think, I still haven''t flown with my own power." Long Ming''s palm turned sweaty as he looked at the floating Xiao''er.


    " What is it, Young Master, Why aren''t you following me?"


    " Ahahah! About that¡­" Long Ming gave a wry smile, but he was spinning his brain at a rapid speed.


    '' If I ask her about that, It will be too suspicious. No, I have to think of something.''


    Suddenly, An idea came to his mind as he opened his inventory and took out something.


    " Well, Let''s go." Long Ming nodded as he suddenly blurred from his position.


    " Whoa! Young Master! Slow down!"


    Xiao''er was startled when Long Ming turned into a gust of wind and leaped. It was like he was stepping on the wind and jumping a hundred meters at once.


    '' Fuck! How did I forget I had the Wind Walking Boots! Had I used them back then, I would have escaped sessfully from those bastards.'' Long Ming face palmed himself as he channeled the Fragrant Yin Qi into the Wind Walking Boots.


    But thanks to its ability, he was able to tread on the wind and move extremely fast.


    " Huh?"


    Soon, Xiao''er and Long Ming reached the peak of Solitary Flower Peak. The courtyard was abandoned and the mansion wascking maintenance.


    However, When Long Ming stood on the western side of the cliff, he could see the cloudy horizon with the sun slowly setting in the west. The cold wind along with an abundance of True Qi made his body rejuvenate.


    " Ahh! To think this ce is so messy. Wait for a moment, Young Master. I will clean up a bit so you can rest here." Xiao''er bowed as she hurried off to clean the mansion.


    Long Ming sat on a rock as he opened his System Shop.


    " Huh? Why has the price of all the items here suddenly tripled? I have 50,000 High grade Spirit stones, Yet I can barely buy three or four things now?" Long Ming clenched his teeth when he saw that.


    " Bastard dragon, You dare to mess with me?"


    [ Constetion Gold Guarding Miser Dragon shrugs. He is saying he doesn''t know what you are saying]


    Long Ming thought he will buy a lot of things since he got so many Spirit Stones. But now, he had to be careful in his purchase.


    '' Hmm, The thing is, The raw materials of a powerful item are much cheaperpared to the actual item. Not to mention, there are lots of things that are simply not from Immortal World.''


    For example, The Resurrection Potion can bring a recently dead person back to life. But it costs 10 Million High grade Spirit Stones. Although there might be some items in Immortal World that can do such things, it''s definitely a precious item.


    '' Alright, Let''s go for the bigger picture.'' Long Ming took a deep breath as he started filtering and purchasing through the shop.


    " Drunken Immortal Herb, Earthcloud Fungus, Wondrous Purple Fruit, Nine Leaf Silkworm Grass, 100 KG of Azure Mirthil, 20 Spectre Arrows, 20 Explosive me Arrows¡­"


    " Finally, Three volumes of Records of Myriad Treasures, a whole 20,000 High grade Spirit stones." Long Ming puffed his breath as he spent 40,000 High grade Spirit Stones. The remaining 10,000 are kept for emergencies.


    " Finally, Now, I am going to open the Dark Gold Rank chest first which I got from killing those Blissful Heaven Temple''s bastards." Long Ming grinned as he clicked on it.


    [ Ding! Host gets a Dark Gold ss Skill: me Dragon''s Wave]


    A bunch of information appeared in Long Ming''s head as he got a new skill. However, Long Ming didn''t stop.


    " Now, The Divine ss Chest."


    [ Ding: Host gets¡­]


    Yeah, Cliffhanger because I didn''t think what it is going to be tbh.

 Chapter 44: Divine Ability!

    Chapter 44: Divine Ability!


    [ Ding! Host gets a Divine Abilty! Temporal Fate Simtion!]


    Long Ming suddenly felt a soul tearing pain as he felt a strange power was injecting into his body and soul. It was like someone heated an iron seal and branding on his body, but it was a thousand times more painful.


    [ Temporal Fate Simtion: Having Heavenly Comprehension Heart and Heavenly Revtion Eyes, you received a corresponding ability]


    [ Using this technique, you can calcte and simte what will happen in the future or what happened in the past. Its uses are too many, Host can find out on his own. However, It will drain your Spiritual Qi. Beware, If your Spiritual Qi gets overdraft, Host shall face bacsh]


    Long Ming was stunned he saw the description.


    " This¡­ This is¡­ Doesn''t that mean I can see the future?"


    Long Ming suddenly used the Temporal fate Simtion as the world around him turned hazy. He looked around him and saw everything normal. The birds flying above him and the sun setting.


    " Young Master, I have cleaned the manor. Will you go and look inside?" Xiao''er walked to him as she spoke.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s body jerked as he canceled the technique. He realized that more than half of his Spiritual Qi was consumed. However, when he looked around him, he saw the same bird flying above him. He looked at his side and saw the exact leaf falling on the ground.


    " Young Master, I have cleaned the manor. Will you go and look inside?" Xiao''er walked to him and spoke in a polite voice


    " Ah¡­"


    Long Ming was baffled when he saw Xiao''er. Everything happened as he saw in the scene.


    '' Although it''s only for a few moments, I can indeed see the future. Not to mention, I can also see the past.'' Long Ming clenched his fist as he suppressed his excitement.


    [ Constetion Gold Guarding Miser Dragon has fainted from shock. He is roaring how did that skill go into the System reward box?]


    [ Constetion Harem King of Nine World is preparing to infiltrate in Gold Guarding Miser Dragon''s harem while he was fainted]


    [ Constetion Demon Lord of Lust looked at you with interest]


    Long Ming didn''t bother with that as he saw his status window. He could see the proficiency rate of Temporal Fate Simtion was only at 0.1%pletion rate.


    '' So, This skill is unaffected by my Heavenly Comprehension Heart, huh? Never mind, I can just use it more and more to increase my proficiency.'' Long Ming nodded.


    " Very well, Xiao''er. Let''s go inside." Long Ming nodded as he went inside. The manor was pretty spacious from the inside. Although there was many types of defense array in the manor, all of them were ineffective due tock of maintenance.


    '' I only learned the basics of Formation arts and Runes. Even with my abilities, it will be time consuming for me to decipher these formation tes. Thankfully, they aren''t fully damaged.''


    As Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush to repair the formation disks, he suddenly paused.


    '' Wait, Is it possible to reduce the consumption of Spiritual Qi by focusing on limited things?'' Long Ming looked at his remaining Spiritual Qi as he activated the Temporal Fate Simtion once again.


    However, this time, he only focused on the inscription of the formation disk. He saw himself drawing a rune, but then, the formation disk suddenly shook as it cracked.


    Long Ming hastily ended the simtion as he looked at the disk in his hand. He realized that the consumption of energy was much lesspared to when he used it for the first time.


    '' Not to mention, Now I know which rune I should *not* inscribe. So, even for the things I don''t know, I can use this skill to reduce my chances of failure!''


    Basically, It''s fuck around and find out, but in a much more secure way.


    [ Ding! Due to unexpected circumstances, the God of Wealth System is closing ahead of its time. Asking Host to give a review in a short while]


    '' Can''t you see I am busy?'' Long Ming snorted as he saw the system window. It looked like the miser dragon couldn''t endure and was forced to close the system.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    [ Ding! Thousand Venomous Tongue isughing at Gold Guarding Miser Dragon!]


    As hours passed, Long Ming kept using hisprehension, his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, and the Temporal Fate Simtion skill to repair the formation disks.


    The skill waspletely blended with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes. So now, He can just use his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and use the Temporal Fate Simtion without any hitch.


    " Now, Xiao''er, Take these hundred high grade Spirit Stones and ce them in the formation disks."


    Xiao''er eyes widened when she saw the high grade Spirit Stones. It was something she never saw before, much less touched. She hurriedly nodded and ced the spirit stones in the formation te.


    Long Ming saw chains of runes swirled on the wall as they covered the entire manor and its outer courtyard. Since the high grade stones are used as fuel, the formation can run for a year without any problem.


    Not to mention, Long Ming guessed that this formation can even block attacks from a Primordial Spirit Unification Cultivator for a while. With this manor, Long Ming acquired a safe spot for himself.


    " En, I am feeling pretty hungry."


    " Young Master, Shall I go and cook something?" Xiao''er bowed and asked. Long Ming looked at her as he shook his head.


    " There should be many spirit beasts in this mountain. Xiao''er, Go and catch some of them. I will be the one cooking tonight."


    Xiao''er was startled as she nodded. Soon, She came back with arge red colored pheasant. Long Ming nodded as he took out the Cooking Sage''s Knife.


    " Huh?!"


    Xiao''er was stunned when she saw Long Ming''s expression turning serious. The knife in his hand shed as he quickly dressed the pheasant. The knife moved fluidly without a single unnecessary movement. The feathers, the skin, the organs, Long Ming separated them in a sh.


    " HAAAH!"


    Long Ming quickly gathered some herbs from the surroundings and filled it inside the pheasant. After adding some spice, he covered it in leaves and dumped in the fire pit.


    " How strange, I never saw such a method of cooking, Young Master." Xiao''er looked at Long Ming with surprise. Long Ming chuckled. " Well, I also only saw it once and never tried. Let''s hope it will taste well."


    When he was on Earth, he used to watch all sorts of cooking videos on the inte. Although he couldn''t cook by himself, the cooking video was aesthetically pleasant for him.


    But now, Since he got the Cooking Sage''s Knife and Cooking Skill, he will fulfill his desire and cook whatever he likes.


    Soon, Xiao''er felt her mouth flooding with saliva as the aroma of the pheasant invaded her nostrils. She felt like her tastebuds tingling just from the aroma.


    Long Ming took it out and unfurled the leaves, as the tasty aroma became stranger. Taking a slice, he put it in Xiao''er mouth.


    " THIS!!!"


    Xiao''er felt an explosion of vors in her mouth when she chewed that piece. " This¡­This tastes so good! I never ate something like that!"


    " Haha, As long as you enjoy." Long Mingughed as he ate it too.


    '' Mmm, This is really tasty. Damn, if I had this skill in past life, I would have opened a restaurant.'' Long Ming and Xiao''er quickly finished the entire pheasant.


    Since it was a spirit beast living in Solitary Flower Peak, its body was filled with natural True Qi which is nourishing to one''s body. Xiao''er got up and stretched her body.


    " Mmmm, It was really good. Both my body and mind feeling rejuvenated. Young Master, Since it''s already evening, Shall I prepare a bath for you?"


    Speaking about bath, Both Xiao''er and Long Ming looked at each other as the atmosphere turned a bit amorous. Xiao''er remembered their first bath as she turned around.


    " I will take that as Yes." She left hurriedly.


    Sitting outside, Long Ming couldn''t help but let out augh. Such life is sure something, huh?


    " Now, I think I should write a review." Long Ming opened the system window.


    " God of Wealth System is pretty good, but there are some obvious ws in it."


    " First, change the mary system. The money will only add when a person earns the money and deposits it in the System. In that way, they won''t be able to take it out and forced to spend within the system."


    '' Hehe, Sorry, My future system users. But I have to fix the bugs after exploiting them, you know?'' Long Ming gave a devious cackle.


    It was something like premium in game currency. You use real money to buy premium currency and with that, you can buy premium items in a game.


    " Second, The shop is all jumbled up. You should set a filter system for ease of ess."


    " Third, The daily mission needs to be optimized a bit, but its still good, nheless."


    Long Ming gave the review and clicked on submit.


    [ Ding! Review has been sent! Constetion Gold Guarding Miser Dragon is taking notes!]


    [ As reviewpensation, Gold Guarding Miser Dragon gives you 100 Star Coins]


    [ Star Coins: Using this as causality, you can get items, help, or information from Constetions]


    [ Just another piece of information: 100 Star Coins are pretty low. So, Host can forget about getting some Divine Treasures or World Shaking Secrets]


    Long Ming grumbled when he saw it thest time. " Why you have to act like an edgelord, huh?"


    Looking at the sky fading into darkness, the stars start to appear. Long Ming gave a light smile as hey on the grass.


    " Hmm, I still have my Random Physique Orb and a Dark Gold grade Treasure Chest, huh?" Long Ming mumbled.


    " Young Master, The bath is ready."


    A grin appeared on Long Ming''s lips when he heard Xiao''er voice. Without wasting a second, he walked inside and took off his robes.


    '' Well, Treasures can wait. Let me have some rxation now.''


    " Hmm, So you are saying he killed three True Core Formation Stage assassins in one go, huh? And he is the one helping the Eternal Spring Tower and Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Yes, My Lady."


    A girl wearing a veil sat beside the window as she listened the report. A light grin appeared on her face as she looked at the moon.


    " How amusing. A sudden emergence of a young man with mysterious background and cultivation, hm? Perhaps we might get an unexpected helper here."


    If Long Ming was here, he would have recognized the girl. She was the same girl who opened twelve petals of the white lotus in Flower Boat Festival.

 Chapter 45: Strange Remedy

    Chapter 45: Strange Remedy


    " Mmm¡­"


    Xiao''er panted as Long Ming kissed her lips passionately. It was as if he was stealing her breath away as his arm wrapped around her naked waist.


    " Haah, Young Master, How long you are going to stay in the bath?" Xiao''er giggled as she sshed some water on Long Ming.


    Currently, Both of them were sharing the bath as their naked bodies rubbed against each other. As time passed, Xiao''er couldn''t help but let herself loose in Long Ming''s warm embrace.


    '' I don''t know why he is so attractive. His scent, his body is driving me crazy.''


    Their tongue interwind as Xiao''er could feel her breasts getting fondled by Long Ming. However, Long Ming was keeping track of the amount of dark pink qi he was receiving from Xiao''er.


    '' Hmm, I am receiving some quality Fragrant Yin Qi from Xiao''er. But the quantity has been lessened. Is it because the cultivation base of Xiao''er is low?'' Long Minhg thought inwardly.


    Long Ming understood something from the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Art after using it for so long. If the affection of a woman increases, the quality of the Fragrant Yin Qi will increase. However, the quantity will be less if the cultivation of that woman will be less.


    " Hmm, Xiao''er, What cultivation technique you are practicing?"


    Xiao''er looked at Long Ming as she replied. " I am practicing the Charming Moon Art, the same technique that all courtesans of Eternal Spring Tower practice. It''s a low level Mystic grade Technique."


    " If practiced to peak, I might even reach the True Core Formation stage. But you know, Charming Moon Art is more like a seduction type technique that will be beneficial to Eternal Spring Tower."


    Long Ming nodded as he scrubbed her back. " Let me see that technique. I might be able to help you."


    Xiao''er turned around and kissed Long Ming. " Thank you, Young Master. You are really great."


    " But, I never thought that you will be a True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    Long Ming hugged her tight from behind as he caressed her breasts. " Well, Why don''t you tell me the perks of a True Disciple?"


    " As you know, True Disciple is one stage higher than the Core Disciples. They receive teaching from the most powerful elders or the Sect Master herself. Not to mention, They can get the most powerful techniques and treasures from the sect."


    " You know, Big Sister Mu''s title as Saintess isn''t just for show. It also shows her power and authority in the sect. If she stays like that, She might be the next Sect Master after Sect Master Xia Yuqing."


    " The True Disciple selection very serious matter. Other than you, there are only two other True Disciples in the Sect. Therefore, Your standing is going increase drastically, Young Master."


    Xiao''er exined as she washed Long Ming''s body. As that,s he took a deep breath as she lowered her head.


    " I shall wash the next thing."


    Long Ming saw Xiao''er looking at his erect dragon with a burning gaze and he couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " Not here, my dear maid." He rubbed her soft lips. " How about we move to the bedroom?"


    Xiao''er blushed as she got up from the bathtub. " As Young Master wishes."


    Long Mingughed as he also got up and wore a light linen cloth after drying himself. However, he was startled as someone came to his manor.


    " Hm? Who are you?" Long Ming saw it was a girl wearing a white dress. It looks like she is an Inner Disciple.


    " The Elders heard that Elder Brother Long is living in the Solitary Flower Peak. Since it''s in a shabby condition, they sent dinner for you."


    " Dinner you say?" Long Ming saw the tray full of various dishes as he nodded. " But, I have already eaten dinner. I don''t think I will eat anymore."


    " Ehhh? But. It''s not evente. Elder Brother Long, you should eat more, right?" The girl smiled as she took a step forward.


    " Hmm, But I am already full. How can I eat more?" Long Ming raised his eyebrows. " Xiao''er, Do you wish to eat?"


    " Uhh, Not really."


    The girl panicked a bit and her tone turned softer. " Elder Brother, The Elders will be angry with me if you don''t ept the food. They sent you the meat of the top quality Spirit Beasts. Also, This wine is specially brewed Song of Summer and Winter from Eternal Spring Tower. I know you are going to enjoy it."


    Seeing the quivering figure of that girl, Long Ming couldn''t help but sigh. Xiao''er took the tray and put it on the table. She also poured the wine into a cup and ced it before Long Ming.


    " Hehe, Elder Brother Long, You must taste the food and wine. It''s simply top notch in the entire sect. Especially the wine. It is already the most famous wine in the entire Grand Sky City."


    When Long Ming held the wine cup, his eyes narrowed suddenly. He took a whiff of wine and nodded.


    " Indeed, the fragrance of the wine is simply amazing. I can bet its taste must be also great."


    " Indeed, Elder Brother is wise."


    " However, Drinking it inside the manor won''t be fun. How about we drink outside, under the night sky and cool breeze?"


    " Sure, That''s a good idea."


    Long Ming held the wine jar and winked at Xiao''er. " Xiao''er, can you tidy up the bedroom? Also, Do you remember the thing I was doing for hours? You shouldplete it."


    Seeing Long Ming''s wink, Xiao''er got confused. But she could feel a hidden message beneath Long Ming''s words.


    '' The thing he was doing for hours was repairing the formation of the manor. Toplete it¡­ Wait!"


    Xiao''er heart shook as she looked at Long Ming with eyes filled with suspicion. Long Ming noticed that and nodded.


    " Yes, I will do it. I hope you enjoy your drink, Young Master." Xiao''er bowed.


    Long Ming and the other girl walked outside as Long Ming raised the ss of wine. " Junior Sister, Do you know about this wine? I never heard about such wine from Eternal Spring Tower before."


    " Well, It''s a new wine from Eternal Spring Tower. I don''t know who made it, but its taste is simply unbeatable. With one sip, you can feel both Summer and Winter at once."


    " Well, Junior Sister, Then why do I feel there is something extra in this wine?" Long Ming grinned as he was about to take a sip, but stopped in midway.


    " Extra?" The girl was stunned as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming walked closer to her as heughed.


    " Well, I was talking about your affection mixed in the wine."


    " Oh, That¡­ Haha, Elder Brother is sure humorous." The girlughed when he heard Long Ming.


    " Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm"


    " Huh-


    *BOOOOM*


    A pink light swirled as Long Ming''s palm struck out,nding on the chest of that girl. With a loud bang, she got sted back and crashed on the tree, breaking its trunk.


    " KHUA!"


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows as he walked toward her. " Tch, To think you are wearing soft armor. But that attack should have done some damage."


    As the dust scattered, Long Ming saw the girl vanish as only a puddle of blood remained in there. Long Ming suddenly arched his body as an azure light shed in his eyes.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes activated as he could see several flying knives charging toward him. He could also see their trajectories, along with the ce they are going tond.


    His Wind Walking Boot lit up with runic lights as he blurred from his position. Like a gust of wind, he moved through the flying daggers as his Plum Blossom Fan appeared in his hand.


    " Swirling Yin WInd!"


    *SHUAAAA*


    Several pink des of light shot from the fan as plum blossoms swirled along the wind. As the storm of petals grew fiercer, a shadow darted out from the darkness as it tried to escape.


    However, as it was about to leave the courtyard, a golden barrier appeared before it as it blocked its path. Long Ming snorted as he donned a crimson battle armor.


    " Don''t you think you can escape today? Bitch, You will face the consequences of trying to assassinate me."


    The crimson armor shone like a bonfire in dark night as Long Ming felt overwhelming strength in his body.


    The Wind Walking Boots moved once again as Long Ming appeared right before that girl.


    " Scarlet Yang Fist!"


    " Reflective Moon Palm!"


    The girl hurriedly stuck out her palm as it met Long Ming''s attack. However, it was the same as a grasshopper trying to stop a carriage.


    A gigantic crimson hand appeared as it burned with a crimson qi. Like a palm of an ancient giant, itnded on that girl''s body.


    Her attack got nullified as that girl felt unbearable pressure from Long Ming''s attack. Her armor lit up beneath her dress as it tried to protect her.


    Long Ming''s Scartelt Yang Fist got blocked by a runic wall around that girl''s body. But the impact made the runic wall dimmer than before. However, Long Ming didn''t give her any chance to take a breath.


    His Illusory Lightning Bow appeared in his hand as he took out three Spectre Arrows from his inventory. nocking three of them at once, he aimed at the girl.


    The Illusory Lightning lit up with pink lightning. The moment Long Ming released the string, the three Spectre Arrows vanished instantly.


    *PUFF PUFF PUFF*


    Before the girl could scream, her heart, her lungs, and her liver got pierced by Long Ming''s arrows.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s heart chilled as he rushed toward that girl. When he checked her body, his body turned cold.


    '' Ah shit, I killed her.''


    *THUMP THUMP*


    Suddenly, murderous thoughts started to cloud his heart as he clenched the Illusory Lightning.


    '' No, I can''t fall into that murderous madness again. I have to do something!''


    [ Ding! Constetion Demon Lord of Lust is giving you an offer. For 100 Star Coins, he will give you a remedy]


    " Give me!"


    Long Ming didn''t hesitate as he agreed. The 100 Star Coins were deducted and a bottle of purple liquid appear before him. Long Ming didn''t hesitate as he drank that bottle of liquid.


    " Yo-Young Master, Are you alright? Are you hurt somewhere?" Xiao''er rushed outside as she held Long Ming.


    Suddenly, she was petrified when Long Ming looked at her.


    His eyes¡­It was clouded by various negative feelings. However, Xiao''er can easily feel one particr emotion, that was much stronger than any other.


    Suddenly, Long Ming held her body as his lips sealed her lips. A me spread through Xiao''er body as she closed her eyes, epting Long Ming''s aggressive love and lust.


    Without wasting any time, Long Ming tore her clothes and threw them away. The barrier around the manor turned foggy making anyone outside unable to see what was happening in the courtyard.


    [ Ding! Demon Lord of Lust''s interfering with higher casualty! He has been sent to Horni Jail!]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is interested in the scene. He already called several of his lovers to watch the show with him]


    However, Long Ming didn''t notice any of that.

 Chapter 46: SEGGS After Killing (R-18)

    Chapter 46: SEGGS After Killing (R-18)


    The assassination attempt was indeed wless. Long Ming didn''t doubt her authenticity as an Inner Disciple at all.


    However, That girl made a terrible mistake when she poisoned the wine along with the food. Long Ming might not be able to detect the poison in the food. However, the moment he took a whiff of Song of Summer and Winter, he detected a mild difference.


    He was only able to notice because he was the creator of that wine. Just due to a slight difference, Long Ming managed to catch the assassin.


    When Xiao''er activated the defensive formation, it trapped the assassin and didn''t let her escape. Although she was at the Peak stage True Core Formation realm, Long Ming gained the upper hand with his first surprise attack.


    After that, using his ruthless methods and Illusory Lightning Bow, he managed to restrain her. But in that process, that girl died.


    And now, Long Ming is betting everything on the Demon Lord of Lust''s remedy.


    But then, it was much different from what he anticipated.


    " Mhmmnm¡­Young Master¡­"


    Xiao''er felt her heart beating wildly as she and Long Ming wereying on the grass,pletely naked. Thankfully, she was holding the formation controlling te and made the barrier foggy, so no one can see anything from outside.


    However, Her eyes couldn''t leave Long Ming''s eyes, which were filled with lust and desire for her body. That primal hunger in his eyes ignited a strange heat in Xiao''er body.


    She couldn''t tell if it was a hallucination or not, but she could feel an attractive masculine fragrance from Long Ming. It made her heart flutter and her mind dizzy from bliss. She couldn''t help but wish to breathe more and more of it.


    " Ahnn! Young Master, you are making me feel so¡­ AHNN~"


    Xiao''er body shivered continuously as Long Ming sucked her nipples. While squeezing her breasts, his tongue teased her nipples, making them erect. After that, he sucked one of them while pinching the other.


    Xiao''er felt like the heat from Long Ming''s body was spreading to her. As their naked bodies were entangled, Xiao''er held Long Ming tightly.


    Her pants were low and sweet, increasing the lust of Long Ming when he heard them. Xiao''er gasped for breath when she saw along with her breasts, Long Ming was also teasing her down there.


    His cock was already hard and erect. As he hugged her, his cock kept sliding against her pussy. It didn''t prate but just kept teasing her down there.


    As the teasing increased. Xiao''er fingers gripped Long Ming''s shoulder tightly as she moaned.


    " Ohhh~ I am¡­"


    Long Ming was also feeling unbearable, but he was still rational at that moment.


    '' Fuck! Don''t tell me that bastard just handed me some aphrodisiac??!'' Long Ming shouted in his mind, but seeing Xiao''er like that, he didn''t care about anything anymore.


    '' Haah, Xiao''er, look at this¡­"


    Long Ming chuckled as his fingers gently rubbed her pussy. Long Ming showed her the fingers that were covered with her love juice. " You are already so excited, huh?"


    " Young Master is such tease¡­ You should hurry up." Xiao''er leaned forward as she kissed Long Ming. " Making ady wait isn''t proper at all."


    " Very well!"


    Long Ming spread the legs of Xiao''er as her spring scenery appeared before his eyes.


    A light ck forest surrounded her sacred well. It was dripping with her love juice, like nectar dropping from the vase. Xiao''er breath struck in her chest when she saw Long Ming''s speartip was already touching her pussy lips.


    " AHNN!~"


    Xiao''er felt a sharp pain when Long Ming''s spear finally entered her sacred well. Along with her sweet juice, droplets of blood trickled down.


    ''It''s big! It''s too big! It''s not even halfway and¡­''


    " AHHNNN!~"


    Xiao''er couldn''t even think properly as Long Ming thrust further. After a moment, his entire thing was inside Xiao''er. Long Ming leaned forward as he kissed Xiao''er.


    " It¡­Did it hurt?"


    " Yes¡­"


    Xiao''er stopped the tear droplets in her eyes, but she nodded. That pain came pretty suddenly. But now, it was fading little by little. Long Ming nodded as he started to move his hips.


    " AHNN!~ AHNNN~!"


    Xiao''er arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck. She felt like her body was rocking like a ship in the stormy sea.


    '' Ahnn! Young Master, Your cock is so big! Ahnn~ It''s reshaping my pussy!"


    Xiao''er didn''t care that they were outside. Her sweet moans echoed as Long Ming kept pounding her pussy with his meat rod.


    As their body shed, Long Ming felt the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Art start to circte on its own. The Fragrant Yin Qi around them became turbulent as the pink qi invaded Xiao''er body.


    " AAAHNNN!~"


    Xiao''er felt her body sensitivity suddenly increase. It was so sudden that he couldn''t help but reach another orgasm.


    Long Ming could feel that the Fragrant Yin Qi was making their experience even more pleasurable. What''s more, he felt like he was devouring arge amount of dark pink qi from Xiao''er body.


    If just showing affection can get him Fragrant Yin Qi, just how much he will gain after he fuck that girl? The result was in front of Long Ming.


    For Long Ming, it was a new experience too. It felt like, after years of studying theories and equations, he finally managed to apply everything in reality.


    " Haah! Haaah! Xiao''er, you are mine! From now on¡­ You are MINE!"


    " YES!! Xiao''er only Young Master''s property! Please fill me up!"


    " Fill me with your essence!"


    Xiao''er moans were like fuel adding to Long Ming''s mes of lust. With a low grunt, he increased his pace. Xiao''er jolted back as Long Ming kissed her lips.


    She could feel Long Ming''s cock throbbing hard, signaling it was already ready.


    " Xiao''er, I am cumming!"


    " AHHHNNN!~ YESS!~"


    Xiao''er eyes rolled back in pleasure as she could feel Long Ming''s warm fluid spilling inside her. Giving onest passionate kiss, both of them let out deep breaths.


    " Haah! Young Master, you are so good. I felt¡­ I never felt like this." Xiao''er panted as she looked at LongMing with her hazy eyes.


    Long Ming''s pulled out his rod as he rolled to the side. Xiao''er got up as she saw herher region. She could see the thick gush of white fluid pouring down from her sacred well.


    " Hehe, Young Master, You let out so much. I am overflowing with your essence." Xiao''er got up as she looked at the moon above her. The cold wind made her shiver slightly.


    However, She was startled when Long Ming hugged her from behind. Xiao''er trembled in bliss when she felt Long Ming''s lips roaming on her neck.


    " Mmm! Young Master¡­What are you doing?"


    " You can''t just walk away." Long Ming nibbled her neck. " Don''t tell me you are just satisfied with one round?"


    Xiao''er turned around as her eyes widened. She saw Long Ming''s spear was still erect proudly as it was dripped with his manly juice. She touched it with her finger and she could feel the throbbing hardness of his bulged veins.


    It was simply energized as before, like a hungry dragon with unsated lust. Xiao''er took a breath as a smile cracked on her lips.


    " I guess the night is still young, Young Master. How can I say no to my beloved master?"


    Their sweaty bodies passed together once again as the mes of lust raged. Long Ming grinned as he lifted Xiao''er light leg and wrapped it around his waist. With a pull, his meat rod got inside her sacred well once again.


    Long Ming leaned her on a rock as the moonlight made her sweaty body look even more charming.


    And once again, the quiet courtyard filled with the passionate noises of a loving couple.


    Hours passed as Xiao''er finally became exhausted. The intimate session between her and Long Ming gave a toll on her body. But both of them felt amazing even if it was their first time.


    Since Xiao''er was tired, Long Ming lifted her up and went to the bedroom. cing her on the bed, he came back outside.


    " Whoa!"


    Long Ming suddenly got startled when he saw the dead body of the assassin. He could ''t help but give a wry smile when he realized he was fucking Xiao''er right beside that assassin''s corpse.


    ''But now, My heart feels at ease. Those murderous symptoms¡­It vanished!''


    There was no pain or voices ringing in his head. What''s more, he was feeling even more refreshed.


    " Don''t tell me¡­ My remedy is sex?" Long Ming''s face turned strange. " You mean, If I kill someone, I need to have sex in the next moment to cleanse my mind?"


    " Well, Sounds kinda ok to me."


    Long Ming sat cross legged in the courtyard as he could feel the swirling tornado of Fragrant Yin Qi in his divine sea. The Fragrant Yin Flower in his divine sea shook as its twelve petals shone with bright pink light. After that, one of the petals turned dark pink.


    '' So, to reach the next stage, I need to darken the remaining eleven petals?'' Long Ming nodded as he raised his hands.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi gushed as it condensed into a long sword. Long Ming held it as he swung is lightly.


    Suddenly, the tree before him sliced into two.


    " Well, Now that''s some qualitative change." Long Mingughed and opened his system inventory.


    He clicked on the Dark Gold Rank treasure chest.


    [ Ding! Host gets Dark Gold grade treasure: Raging Storm Wings]


    " Hmm?"


    Before he could check the description, a message popped out in front of him.


    [ Ding! Demon Lord of Lust is grinning. He is asking how did his body fluid tasted?]


    Long Ming''s face turned stiff when he saw that.


    " BARF!"

 Chapter 47 Hostile Grand Elder! New Task

    47 Hostile Grand Elder! New Task


    Long Ming felt his stomach churning when he saw that message. " Body fluid? What the fuck you fed me, you bastard!"


    [ Constetion Demon Lord of Lust is snorting. He is saying that people will flow a river of blood just to get a strand of his hair, and yet, you are disrespecting him like this]


    [ Although his cum would have been more potent, he gave you some of his blood. It might be even beneficial to your Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art]


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine World approves the statement somewhat]


    Long Ming turned speechless when he heard that. '' Should I be thankful that he didn''t give me his white blood?''


    But Long Ming could feel a strange fragrance through his body. It was even enhanced by his Fragrant Yin Qi that was circting through his body. He felt his blood and vigor were much more vibrant than before.


    After adjusting his thoughts, he looked at the Raging Storm Wings. When he clicked on that, he saw two metallic silver wings erupt from his back. The wings gave a luster of dark mercury as he could hear the howling winds in them.


    [ Raging Storm Wings: 1st use: Capability of flight and instantaneous movement! It can even shoot out powerful and sharp winds! 2nd Ability (Sealed), 3rd Ability( Sealed)]


    [ Host need to achieve certain conditions to unseal the seals of Raging Storm Wings]


    Long Ming felt like the wings were actually a part of his body. Calming his mind, Long Ming''s Raging Storm Wings pped as he soared to the sky with a st of wind.


    " HAHAHAHA! IT''S SO FUN!"


    Long Ming''sughter echoed through the sky as he flew across the Solitary Flower Peak. He could feel the clouds brushing past his face as he flew across the sky. He could feel what it meant to be free as a bird.


    Long Ming finally descended as he looked at the corpse of the assassin. He picked it up as he streaked through the sky.


    '' Hah, To think I can even make my winds disappear. What a nice feature.'' Long Ming chuckled as hended before the Deste Winter Pce, which was the abode of Xia Yuqing.


    When Long Mingnded before her abode, several women came forward as they pulled out their weapons and pointed at Long Ming.


    However, When Long Ming took out his jade token, all of them bowed before him as they gave way. However, before Long Ming could enter, he suddenly heard Xia Yuqing''s voice in his heart.


    " Come to the Four Season Pce. The meeting of elders is happening at that ce."


    The Four Seasons Pce was the main hall of the Four Seasons Valley. Hearing there was a meeting happening, Long Ming nodded as he went there directly.


    When he entered the Four Seasons Pce, Long Ming felt like he entered the depth of the ocean. On both sides, many elders sat as they looked at Long Ming.


    Their gazes are enough to make Long Ming feel pressurized. However, Long Ming appeared to be calm as he walked inside and stood in the middle.


    " Disciple Long Ming greets Master."


    Xia Yuqing sat on the highest seat as she nodded. " Rise. We are just talking about you."


    " Sect Master, No matter what, Taking a True Disciple so suddenly? Not to mention he is a male and an outsider." An elder stood up as she spoke.


    Long Ming saw Meng Zhi, Elder Cai, and Elder Li were also there. Although the majority of the elders were women, Long Ming noticed three male elders also.


    However, one middle aged woman who was sitting quite near Xia Yuqing nced at him with utmost hostility. Long Ming noticed that but kept his eyes lowered.


    " Well, Many of you are asking why I made him True Disciple. It''s because of his cultivation of talent andprehension. Not only that, he managed to help our Eternal Spring Tower to win the Flower Boat festival and managed to rip off a big chunk from Blissful Heaven Temple."


    " Also, Don''t forget he is the one who managed to achieve the Four Seasons Phenomenon andprehended the profundity of the ancestral stone tablet."


    Xia Yuqing looked at everyone and then, looked at Long Ming. " In a way, he got the blessings of our ancestors. Therefore, I made him the True Disciple."


    " Cultivation Talent?" Elder Li stood up as she snorted lightly. " Sect Master, I personally saw. That brat''s True Qi affinity isplete trash. It''s the worse talent I''ve ever seen."


    Xia Yuqing looked at Elder Li her face was calm as ever. " If that''s the case, Then how did he manage to defeat our Core Disciple?"


    Elder Li was startled when she heard Xia Yuqing. In fact, she didn''t have any answers for that.


    " Then, What is current cultivation?"


    Long Ming raised his head as he saw that the hostile woman finally spoke. Xia Yuqing looked at her as she remained silent. " Well, Grand Elder, Shouldn''t that be clear with hisst duel?"


    " But then, Why he is keeping his cultivation hidden here?" Grand Elder''s tone turned low. " Are you trying to hide something from us?"


    Long Ming bowed as he started to speak ." First of all, Greetings to Grand Elder."


    " The reason I am keeping my cultivation hidden is the same as keeping a hidden ace." Long Ming smiled. " Don''t you think, the less enemies know about my skills, the better it is?"


    " Are you doubting us?" Grand Elder''s eyes narrowed. " How bold!"


    Long Ming shook his head. " I am not doubting you, Grand Elder. However, Last night, Something happened that made me feel this way."


    Long Ming waved his hands as a corpse appeared before the elders. Everyone''s eyes widened when they saw that body.


    " This¡­ This is an Inner Disciple?"


    Long Ming cupped his fist. " She came to my Solitary Flower Peak and tried to poison me. However, I managed to kill her before he could seed. My maid Xiao''er is a witness."


    " She showed me a token and told me that the food was given by the elders. However, the food and wine are clearly poisoned." He took the jar of poisoned wine and ced it on the ground.


    Xia Yuqing''s eyes narrowed as her face turned cold. " Really? Someone tried to assassinate my disciple inside my sect?"


    An elder came down as she took the wine jar and dipped a silver needle in it.


    " This is¡­ This is Seven Cloud Posion! It''s simply colorless and detecting it is very hard." The elder exined. " Not to mention¡­This girl¡­ She is wearing a skin mask."


    She held the face of that corpse as she peeled out a skin mask. Beneath it, a middle aged woman appeared.


    Long Ming felt a shiver when he saw that face. '' Fuck! That granny was calling me Senior Brother? And even I called her junior sister? What the fuck!''


    " This skin mask is made with very precious materials. Detecting this is pretty hard even for Harmonization stage Elders. No wonder she managed to stay within the sect without getting caught."


    " Audacious! Those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards gone too far!" Xia Yuqing pped on her chair as she snorted.


    Meng Zhi stood up as she bowed. " Sect Master, You can see that Long Ming already got attacked twice. So, being the True Disciple is the same as giving him protection."


    Grand Elder looked at Meng Zhi as she spoke lightly, " En, How rare it is to see you praise someone, Meng Zhi. Has this brat bribed you?"


    " Rather than bribe, He helped me and the Eternal Spring Tower very much." Meng Zhi chuckled as she gave a wink to Long Ming.


    Before Xia Yuqing could say anything, the Grand Elder stood up. " No matter what, True Disciple is a sensitive position. Since he already became the True Disciple, he also needs to fulfill the duties of a True Disciple."


    " How about we give him the task to retrieve the Western Port of ck Pearl City?"


    " Grand Elder, That task¡­It''s too dangerous!" Meng Zhi stood up as she opposed. " That''s not something a mere disciple can do!"


    " Mere?" Grand Elder smiled. " Don''t forget, He is the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley. I am sure he will be able to find his way."


    Saying that Grand Elder vanished. The hall turned silent as Long Ming sighed.


    '' That old hag, Why the hell she is making things difficult for me?'' Long Ming cursed in his heart. However, his calm ad refined appearance didn''t change at all.


    " Long Ming, Come with me."


    Hearing Xia Yuqing, Long Ming nodded. Soon, he followed her back to the Deste Winter Pce.


    " That attack, It looks like they infiltrated in Four Seasons Valley, huh?" Xia Yuqing gave an amused smile. " However, Thanks to you, they got lured out before they could do something big."


    " And, Now I have the reason to make my move and search throughout the sect."


    Long Ming only heard but remained silent. He couldn''t understand what is Xia Yuqing is thinking.


    " Are you hurt?"


    " Not really?"


    " ck Pearl City was once under the Four Seasons Valley. However, Now, It is running independently. Since it''s connected to Westward Bay, it''s one of the best ce of business."


    " However, recently, the Lan Family, which controls the ck Pearl city, is opposing the business of Four Seasons Valley''s mining of Deep Sea Iron. Three envoys of Four Seasons Valley already died mysertiously there." Xia Yuqing''s voice turned low.


    " Why Grand Elder is hostile to me? Is it because I became the True Disciple?" Long Ming asked.


    Xia Yuqing''s face becameplicated as she sighed. " It''s not your fault, It''s mine. I guess she wasn''t able to let go of that grudge."


    Long Minf pondered as he cupped his fist. " Before going to ck Pearl City, I will gather some information. I will try my best to fulfill this mission."


    " Hmm, And here I thought you would rather sit back in sect and y with the female disciples. Was I wrong?"


    Long Ming gave a forced smile when he heard that. He nned exactly that, but the Grand Elder messed everything.


    To consolidate his position, he need to gain the support of majority. Not to mention, such mission was pretty good chance for him to raise his reputation.


    " But, before you go, I need to teach you something." Xia Yuqing turned around as she broke a branch from a nearby tree.


    *Meanwhile*


    " Huh? Long Ming isn''t here?"


    Xiao''er bowed before Mu Qinglian as she shook her head. " Young Master went to meet the Sect Master. I think he might be there, Saintess Mu."


    " Alrigh-"


    Mu Qinglian''s voice got cut in midway when she looked at Xiao''er carefully. The ways he walked and the aura around her¡­It felt something different.


    " Uhm¡­Xiao''er, Why are you walking like that?"


    " Ahh! No-Nothing happened! Haha, Nothing really." Xiao''er face turned crimson as she rushed back into the manor.


    Looking around the courtyard, Mu Qinglian gritted her teeth.


    " They¡­They did it¡­"

 Chapter 48 Getting Beaten By Mu Qinglian

    48 Getting Beaten By Mu Qinglian


    Long Ming stood silently as Xia Yuqing held the tree branch. " Four Seasons Grand Swordsy isn''t just a sword technique. It''s the technique created by Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor, our founder."


    " It''s separated into two techniques, Four Seasons Sword Art and Four Season Flowing Qi Art. Each technique is further divided into four parts ording to four seasons." Xia Yuqing exined.


    " Each part can be used as a separate technique. However, when you merge all four parts, you will get theplete technique."


    Xia Yuqing held the branch as her body moved. Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he felt a terrifying heat washing his face. The branch turned into a gigantic sword of mes as it cut forward.


    The sh made its surrounding areabust into powerful mes as the mes soared to the sky.


    " Robust and destructive, This is Scorching Summer Sword Art. It corresponds to the greater Yang energy."


    Then, the mes vanished as the sharp wind blew. The branch into a blur as Xia Yuqing''s stance changed.


    Unlike the powerful momentum of Scorching Summer Sword Art, the branch moved swiftly and precisely, using the wind to make deadly attacks.


    " Swift and deadly, the Autumn Breeze Sword Art. It corresponds to the lesser Yin."


    After that, the wind stopped and everything became calm and tranquil. Suddenly, Long Ming felt a sudden chill across his body as saw Xia Yuqing''s movement became slow. Suddenly, that branch was covered with an icy blue light Long Ming felt he was going to turn into an icy statue.


    *SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH*


    Like a snowstorm, the branch moved as it covered the area with a snow nket. However, Long Ming could feel that the snow was much deadlier than the branch itself.


    " Covering everything in the domain of Winter, this is Deste Winter Sword Art. It corresponds to Greater Yin."


    Xia Yuqing paused as her sword moved. The snow melted as the atmosphere turned bright. The sword moved gracefully as the wind and flowers moved along with it.


    Suddenly, the branch turned illusory as countless other branches appeared. No one can tell which is real or which is fake. However, all of them were deadly without any doubt.


    The flow of the branch was smooth as it created an arc. The moment Xia Yuqing paused, the leaves and flowered around her sliced into many pieces.


    " Spring Returning Sword Art. It''s subtle, mysterious, and illusory. It depicts the Lesser Yang."


    However, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he was surprised.


    " I performed the Four Season Sword Art for you. How much have you learned?" Xia Qyung asked with a light voice.


    " Before answering, I would like to ask a question, Master." Long Ming spoke. Xia Yuqing raised her brows as she looked at Long Ming. " What is it?"


    " Unlike the other three sword arts, the Returning Spring Sword Art looked¡­ Off. I mean, it wasn''t impactful like the other three."


    This time, Xia Yuqing''s facial expression didn''t remain calm. " You¡­ You noticed?"


    Long Ming bowed. " Master, I am someone who evenprehended the Ancestral Stone Tablet. Of course I was able to see that w, albeit Master did well to patch it up."


    " Indeed." Xia Yuqing''s eyes narrowed. " I spent years to patch up this w. Because, the original Returning Spring Sword Art was lost long ago."


    " But then, Even if you have some sort of incredibleprehension, you could never see the w. So¡­"


    " Are you going to tell me the truth or¡­"


    Long Ming gave a wry smile. " Master, Must you be so suspicious of yur own disciple?"


    " Disciples killing their Masters for benefit isn''t unheard in this world." Xia Yuqing replied with a cid voice. Long Ming chuckled.


    " I saw some glimpses of Four Seasons Sword Art and Four Seasons Flowing Qi Art in the Ancestral Tablet. Thus, I manage to detect the flew."


    Xia Yuqing was surprised as her eyes widened. For the first time, Long Ming saw that big of a reaction in Xia Yuqing''s face.


    " Ancestral Tablet contained the Four Seasons Sword Art and Four Seasons Flowing Qi Art?!"


    Long Ming chuckled. " I am sure. But, I didn''t have that technique. But maybe, If I study the Ancestral Tablet some more, I might be able toprehend it?"


    It was aplete lie. He already got theplete technique from the Ancestral Stone Tablet. However, he could see the importance of that technique from Xia Yuqing''s facial expression.


    Long Ming decided to keep it as a bargaining chip for the future.


    " This¡­Listen to me, Long Ming." Xia Yuqing''s voice became serious. " No matter what, You must learn the Scorching Summer Imperial Art from the Ancestral Tablet."


    " Why? Shouldn''t the Returning Spring Sword Art corresponds to the Returning Spring Imperial Technique?" Long Ming became confused. Xia Yuqing shook her head.


    " That''s true. However, for me, The Scorching Summer Imperial Technique is much more important. Therefore, You must try your best to get that." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " If you manage to do that¡­ I will let you pick any treasure or technique below the Imperial Grade from our treasury." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    Long Ming was startled as he nodded. " Very well, I will try my best and won''t disappoint Sect Master."


    Xia Yuqing''s gaze turned distant when Long Ming took his leave. She looked at her surrounding as a sigh left her mouth.


    '' If he gets theplete technique, I might be able to cure Yang Wei." She quietly mumbled in her heart as her expression returned to normal.


    '' This brat¡­ Who exactly he is?''


    Long Ming''s Raging Storm Wings burst as he shot back to the Solitary Flower Peak. When he reached there, he was surprised.


    " Oh my, My Junior Brother has returned. I hope the meeting with Master gone pleasantly?"


    Long Ming felt a shiver through his body when he looked at Mu Qinglian. Although she was smiling, Long Ming could feel something was amiss. It was the same as a tiger wearing a mask of a cute cat.


    Ming as her eyes narrowed. " Now, Do you understand what you will call me in future?"


    11:41


    " Yes, Senior Sister Mu." Long Ming hurriedly nodded. Xiao''er was standing meekly by the side as she " Junior brother?"


    " Of course. You joinedter than me. So, I am your Senior Sister." Mu QInglian walked toward Long Ming as her eyes narrowed. " Now, Do you understand what you will call me in future?"


    " Yes, Senior Sister Mu." Long Ming hurriedly nodded. Xiao''er was standing meekly by the side as she watched everything. Long Ming looked at her as he took out paper and brush.


    " Xiao''er, Go and get all these materi from Sister Luo."


    " Yes, Young Master." Xiao''er nodded as she hurried off. Seeing Xiao''er leaving, Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but snort lightly.


    " Having a cute and beautiful maid is sure fun, isn''t it?"


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows. " Indeed. Xiao''er is pretty helpful. She does her job perfectly."


    Mu Qinglianughed when she heard that. " Well, I guess I should also do my job properly."


    " Your job?" Long Ming became confused. Mu Qinglian snorted. " You already got attacked twice and escaped death by a breadth of hair. As your Senior Sister, I am obliged to teach you about self defense."


    Question marks appeared on Long Ming''s head as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Senior Sister, What do you want to say?"


    " I am saying, I am going to train your battle techniques." Mu Qinglian chuckled. " I am going to seal my cultivation to the Peak stage of True Core Formation Realm."


    " I am sure you are confident in beating me, right?"


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed when he heard that. '' Peak stage of True Core Cormation Realm? I think I can defeat her.''


    Long Ming nodded as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Very well. I am ready."


    Mu Qinglian''s smile brightened when she heard that. " Good, I am starting then."


    Suddenly, Long Ming saw Mu Qinglian vanish from her position as she appeared right beside him. In a blink of an eye, she closed the distance between them.


    " Huh?!"


    "


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered as he saw many illusory arms appear before Mu Qinglian as all of them fell on him. Using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming calcted the trajectory of the attack by using his Temporal Fate Simtion technique.


    However, before he could move his body, Long Ming felt his body got stuck in that position.


    " Scarlet Jade Battle Armor!"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The palmsnded on Long Ming''s body as he got blown back. He crashed into the bush as he felt like he got hit by a truck. Even with his powerful Scarlet Jade Battle Armor couldn''t fend off the attackpletely.


    However, Before he could move, Long Ming felt the ground quaking as a gigantic pir rose from the earth and shot him toward the sky. Mu Qinglian''s figure shed as she made a hand seal.


    " Lightning Binding Chains!"


    " KHEUKK!"


    Long Ming felt he got stuck in midair as his limbs got bounded by chains made of lightning.


    " Arrgh!"


    A wave of shock jolted his body as Long Ming shouted. After that, the chains vanished as he fell on the ground.


    " The only reason you won against Shui Huan because you didn''t let her use her true capabilities." Mu Qinglian walked toward Long Ming. " Your approach is more like an assassin, making a powerful attack at first and retreat if it didn''t work."


    " I am not saying it''s anything bad. But, This won''t help you in long term." Mu QInglian''s tone became cold.


    " There are countless treasures, techniques, physiques and talents that can easily kill you with just a puff from thier breath. I don''t know how you managed to do it, but your power is still at Low stage of Golden Core Realm."


    Long Ming gritted his teeth as he got up. For the first time, he got beaten back like that. Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as her grin widened.


    " But dont'' worry. I will make it sure that you will be a capable Junior Brother of mine."


    Xiao''er returned almost after an hour. However when she arrived, she was shocked.


    Long Ming was lying on the grass as his body was bruised. Although none of the wounds were lethal, he looked like a dog who got beaten and soaked in rain.


    " Young Master!!"


    Long Ming grunted as he clhed his fist. '' Mu Qinglian, I will return your favor very soon.''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    As Mu Qinglian was returning, she couldn''t help but rub her left shoulder. '' Hmph! Serves him right!''


    '' But to think he actually managed tond quite some hits on me.''


    A smile appeared on Mu Qinglian''s lips as she looked at the sky. She couldn''t help butugh.

 Chapter 49 New System! Grand Welcoming

    49 New System! Grand Weing


    "Ugh! She really beat me badly! Long Ming gave an awkwardugh as he sat on his bed. Xiao''erughed as she spread some ointment on his body.


    " Why are youughing? How can a maidugh while looking at his Master''s condition?" Long Ming pulled Xiao''er into his embrace and rubbed her lips.


    " Hehe, But the situation is too funny not tough, My Young Master'' Xiao''er grinned as she kissed the cheek of Long Ming. Long Ming''s stern face didn''t stay for long as he couldn''t help but burst outughing.


    " Hmph, I guess I need to punish you tonight for your disobedience"


    " Oh no, I am so scared-" Xiao''er body quivered as she gave a pitiful look to Long Ming. '' I guess Xiao''er has no choice but to ept Master''s punishment tonight"


    Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva when he saw Xiao''er expression. '' Thisss, Since when she became this provocative. If I wasn''t busy, I would have pushed her down right here:


    " Anyway, Xiao''er, Did you copy your cultivation technique?"


    '' Yes, Young Mastery.''


    Xiao''er nodded as she gave Long Ming the technique she was cultivating. Long Ming saw the technique as he started topare it with the other techniques he received from the Ancestral Stone Tablet.


    '' I see. It''s a Spring Branch Technique. This technique is one of the most basic versions of it. However, judging from Xiao''er body, the techniques from the Autumn Branch suit her better: Long Ming thought inwardly.


    '' Xiao''er, Take this. This is called Rippling Wave of Autumn Pool. Try to follow remember the cirction method because its very simr to your earlier cultivation method.


    Xiao''er nodded as she followed Long Ming''s advice. When her True Qi circted, she felt her meridians were slowly expanding more and more. The energy was like a stream in the mountain that contained a vast amount of pure energy.


    '' This... This technique is so powerful! It''s much, much more powerful than my previous Mystic grade technique Xiao''er thought inwardly as she suddenly showed sign of breakthrough.


    " Huh?"


    Both Xiao''er and Long Ming became surprised when they saw it. From the Middle stage of the Violet Pce Expansion Realm, Xiao''er reached the High stage of the Violet Pce Expansion Realm.


    " Young Master... Where did you get this technique? Its so powerful!" Xiao''e eyes shone as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Well, That doesn''t matter." Long Ming chuckled. " The thing is, you must cultivate this technique well."


    '' You need to feel your heart, like a rippling wave of water. However, it must be also clear, like a pond in Autumn. When you manage to control the rippling waves, you will understand the nature of Autumn itself"


    Xiao''er looked at Long Ming as she was stunned. But then, she hurriedly nodded. I Thank you for the advice, Young Master."


    " Ah, I forgot. Lady Meng asked you to visit the Eternal Spring Tower this evening. She says she got a really big surprise for you"


    Long Ming was startled as he nodded. " Very well. I will go there. Now, Xiao''er, you should focus on your cultivation:


    Xiao''er nodded as she sat in the courtyard to meditate.


    [ Ding! Infinite Star Roulette is back! Spinning the dial to achieve the next system!]


    Long Ming was startled when the system panel suddenly popped out before him. The roulette spun as Long Ming eagerly waited for the result.


    [ Ding! Congrattions! Host gets Beauty Affection System!]


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine World spat out! He is saying that it''s really surprising that you got one of his systems]


    " Whoa? Really?!" Long Ming was excited when he saw that.


    [ Ding! Demon Lord of Lust is snorting. He is saying that his system was much better. But it takes some real fortune to get that]


    Long Ming didn''t care as he opened the new system interface. The interface flooded with a dreamy pink light as texts appeared.


    [ Ding! Beauties always have been the source of prosperity and the root of disasters. If one can tame them, he will naturally be the king. What kind of man you are if you don''t makedies look at you with their passionate gaze?]


    [ With Beauty Affection System, You can easily fulfill your dream of having a real harem of beauties]


    [ Personally rmended by 11/10 Harem Masters]


    [ System Runs on Affection Points from the opposite sex. The Affection Point can be used to purchase various items or spin the roulette!]


    [ Time Limit: 1 Month]


    " WELL WELL, One month is pretty good:. Long Ming chuckled when he saw that. In one month he couldn''t even guess how many harem members...Ahem, He meant, beauties he will rack up.


    " Ah, There is a Rtionship Management Window. How convenient." Long Ming chuckled as he opened it.


    Xiao''er (B grade): Max


    Lu Yanyu( A grade): 80 (In Love)


    Mu Qinglian( S grade): 70 (Affectionate)


    Luo Yingying( A grade): 60 (Friendly)


    Xu Yuqing ( S grade): 40 (Suspicious)


    Wu Liang ( B grade): 30 (Dislike)


    [ Ding! The one listed here contained profound power and impact over the surrounding. The ones with less impact and power won''t be shown here. But you will still get Affection Point from them regardless]


    " Who is this Wu Liang? This level of hostility... Could it be Grand Elder?" Long Ming mumbled.


    The grade of women ranges goes as S, A, B, and C grade. 50 is the neutralFavorability. Above 50 is a favorable condition while below 50 characters will show hostility. With higher favorability, the more Affection Point the Host will get.


    '' How strange. Although Mu Qinglian is pretty friendly toward me... Why is it showing Affectionate? Am I missing something?''


    Long Ming walked inside as he looked at the mirror that was reflecting his peerless handsome face.


    " Look at you, Long Ming. Are you still doubting your rizzing ability?" Long Ming pointed at the mirror as he giggled. " Come on, The world and the women are waiting for me to explore''


    [ Ding! Host already maxed out a B Grade Beauty, Xiao''er! Host getting a Random Treasure Chest!]


    [ As a newbie benefit, Host is getting a Random Enhancement Card]


    [ Random Enhancement Card: By using it, It will enhance any kind of power your body possesses by many folds. For example, your strength or agility, senses or Spiritual Qi, etc.]


    Long Ming became curious as he clicked on the Random Enhancement Card.


    [ Ding! Detecting Host has a minuscule amount of demon blood in his body! There is also an energy corresponding to it existing in your body! Enhancing the effect!]


    [ Ding! Host gets Incubus''s Bloodline!]


    "... I beg your pardon?"


    Long Ming was stunned as he looked at his body. Although his appearance didn''t change, with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see a light purple gas swirling around his body.


    Not to mention, his Fragrant Yin Qi was also raging inside his divine sea as if it was empowered by some sort of invisible force.


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine Realm is clicking his tongue. He is saying it might be a good thing]


    [ Ding! Constetion Demon Lord of Lust is very surprised. He didn''t expect you would be able to use his minuscule amount of blood like that] Long Ming was stunned as he saw the description.


    [ Incubus''s Bloodline: Increase virility by many folds. Host gains resistance against Seduction or Charming Skills. Host''s blood and vitality increased!]


    [ Host gained Incubus''s Pheromones! With this, the Opposite sex will be attracted to you in a lustful way. But it won''t affect those with high mental resistance or High Spiritual Qi than Host. Host''s body fluid gains aphrodisiac properties]


    " Well?"


    Long Ming coughed lightly as he adjusted his hair. After that, he stretched his body and did some light hops.


    " You see, A true man doesn''t need things like this. Because a man should conquer a woman by his skills."


    [ Ding! Constetion Demon Lord of Lust is asking for a refund!]


    " Ahem, Let me finish my sentence first! Long Ming coughed as he continued.


    "... So, as I was saying, such things are not needed. However..."


    "The world isn''t fair. Some people start their race near the finishing line. And, That''s ok. It all depends on luck!"


    Therefore! Long Mings tone became righteous. I won''t be returning it. I will properly cherish the chance I got and fulfill its purpose."


    [ Ding! Constetion Chaotic Evil Contractor is cackling behind the screem]


    [ Ding! Constetion All Resistance Thick Skin is admiring your bullshit! He sponsors you 10 Star Coins]


    '' Think whatever you like. Who cares?'' Long Ming grinned inwardly as he sat on the rock and closed the system.


    '' However, I should ruminate on Mu Qinglian''s advice. As she said, I can''t always gain the upper hand against my enemy or surprise attack them. It''s not like only I have an abundance of treasures or techniques.''


    Suddenly, Long Ming looked at Xiao''er as an idea shed in his mind.'' Well? What if I don''t even have to act in the first ce?''


    When a battle urs, a king doesn''t go charging as the vanguard. His soldiers, his generals, and the army goes forward to protect him. Why cant Long Ming do the same?


    '' Maybe I should also raise some of my bodyguards who will protect me at all costs. Long Ming chuckled inwardly. As he overseer the cultivation of Xiao''er soon the sun set in the western horizon. 2


    Long Ming wore a crimson robe as his Raging Storm Wing unfurled. With a silver glint, he streaked across the sky as he went to the Eternal Spring Tower.


    When he arrived at the Eternal Spring Tower, he couldn''t help but be surprised. The tower was decorated brightly. However, Long Ming didn''t notice a single customer.


    When he walked inside, he saw women standing on both sides of his way as they bowed gracefully.


    " Young Master Long, Wee to the Eternal Spring Tower!"

 Chapter 50 Relieving Long Mings Urges

    50 Relieving Long Ming''s Urges


    Long Ming was stunned when he saw the scene. All the women wore makeup and their dresses were exquisite, They all bowed and greeted him respectfully.


    " Whoa? What''s with this sudden wee? You guys are making me embarrassed." Long Mingughed awkwardly as he entered the building. Other than beautifully dressed women, there is no one else besides Long Ming.


    Suddenly, Long Ming paused as he saw the system window opening.


    [ Ding! Host gets +1 Affection Point!]


    [ Ding! Host gets +1 Affection Point!]


    [ Ding! Host gets +1 Affection Point!]


    Long Ming rubbed under his nose as he walked forward. Suddenly, his eyes widened as a mature woman wearing only a ck apron appeared.


    " Young Master, Wee to our humble ce. I hope we will make your night enjoyable"


    " Ah, You..."


    Long Ming was stunned when she looked at the woman. She was the model who wore his ''Housewife with Naked Apron'' design!


    " What is it, Young Lord? Aren''t we your greatest fantasies? You did so much for us. It''s only rightful that we will return the favor!


    Long Ming felt someone taking off his crimson overcoat as a pair of bounce breasts pressed on his back.


    Transparent white dress with long flowing hair, with a teasing expression, Long Ming saw the neer girl kissing his neck.


    She was the " Teasing Young Miss of Noble Family.''


    " Nyaa- Master! Tonight, We aren''t going to let you go without exhausting you entirely"


    Long Ming his brain melting as he got surrounded by the fragrance of various beauties. He felt a strange feeling as if his blood is churning inside him. The Fragrant Yin Qi became restless as he felt someone lifting up his inner robe and licking his abs.


    "Of course, Young Master is a dragon among men. Being able to spend the night with him, I am feeling so proud. It''s only natural that any woman would wish to taste the manliness of Young Master Long"


    Long Ming shuddered when he heard thest two voices. The Cat Demoness and Seductive Martial Artist...


    The four creations he made that stirred the entire Grand Sky City are now before him!


    However, His expression remainedposed as he epted their affection. " Well, I am ttered that you are feeling so affectionate toward me. But why so sudden?"


    " Because, Our Tower Master Meng Zhi said to reward you for all your efforts. After Flower Boat Festival, everyone in the Eternal Spring Tower wished to return this favor."


    Long Ming saw the screens unfolding as Lu Yanyu''s voice drifted out. She held a zither as she wore a bright blue dress. Her eyshes were beautiful as if they were inviting Long Ming.


    Her fingers moved on the strings as a beautiful melody drifted out. The four girls hurriedly took off the upper dress of Long Ming and poured the wine before him.


    The housewife with an apron massaged Long Mings back with her ample breasts while the noble girl held the wine ss and fed him the wine. The cat demoness fed him some exotic fruits while the martial artist girl rubbed his feet.


    Listening to music while being served by four beautiful women, Long Ming felt he reached the peak of pleasure. He realized everything he did finally paying its worth.


    '' Ahh! So, This is the paradise of a youth, huh? The life of a rich second generation young master: Long Ming sighed. As he drank the wine, he didn''t forget to kiss the noble girl.


    Their tongues interwind as Long Ming felt the taste of wine along with that girl''s saliva. As their tongues interwind, Long Ming felt the mes of lust igniting on his body.


    As Lu Yanyu yed the zither, the other courtesan wore beautiful dresses as they danced before Long Ming. Long Ming apuded when he saw their performance.


    " Marvelous! It looks like you guys put so much effort to y this performance'' Long Mingughed as he nodded. He stood up as he cupped his fist.


    " Sister Lu Yanyu, and all others, I am sincerely happy that you prepared all these things for me."


    Suddenly, The Affection Point he was getting from the girls skyrocketed. It already reached four digits in his System Panel.


    '' Yes, Let ite... Let the points flood it.''


    Long Ming closed his eyes as he took a deep breath. A wide grin appeared on his face as he counted the Affection Points.


    Originally, Such a system should have been given to some nerd mob character with zero characters. So that, he could gain his way up to gain AP (Affection Point).


    However, Long Ming is someone who got the Deste Immortal Aura, Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Arts, and the Incubus''s bloodline from the start. So, this system is the same as a whale using his power to steamroll through the game.


    Shit, Its literally broken!


    Long Ming saw the value of AP already surpassed 30,000 points. However, he realized that only gaining AP wont be enough.


    If he maxes out a girl''s affection, he will get special gift boxes, like the one he got from Xiao''er.


    " Nyaa- Young Master is being modest. Lady Meng clearly gave us an order that Young Master Long can''t leave the tower unless he was fully satisfied" The cat demoness licked the back of her paw with a wink.


    The housewife with a sexy apron hugged Long Mings arm as she smacked her lips.


    " We know Xiao''er, Thatss already took an advantage. Although we aren''t pure as her, we are definitely experienced. Young Master!


    " Whoa! WHOA! Calm...Kalm down!!"


    Long Ming could feel their seductive touches throughout his upper bare body as he already became rock hard. Seeing the huge tent in his pants, everyone became shocked.


    " Mm, What a size. To think Young Master Long is actually hiding a dragon here"


    " Truly fitting as your namell]


    For the first time. Long Ming felt he might loseposture.


    Sister, What the hell are you doing? Touching my little brother in public like that?


    All of the surrounding courtesans stared at Long Ming as their eyes started to glow. Being in the business of art and pleasure, those girls and women naturally became experts in assessing the strength of a male.


    And currently, For them, Long Ming is akin to an immortal like being in his natural way.


    " My, Look at his skin. It''s so soft and smooth. It was the perfect skin tone too"


    " Ugh, Just look at the abs of Young Master. It''s clear that he takes care of his physique along with his qi cultivation."


    " Mm, But I am mostly interested in down there, though."


    " Tsk, Look at you. You are already drooling, hoe."


    " Hoe? Bitch, You are practically getting wet down there."


    Long Ming wiped his sweat when he heard these talking from the surroundings.


    Ladies, I know this brother is very handsome. But why are you treating me like freshly caught prey?


    Also, his rod became harder as the noble girl rubbed it with her fingertips. Long Ming took a deep breath but couldn''t calm himself.


    Lu Yanyu was at a loss as she saw the scene. Although she anticipated what is going to happen, it was still a bit too much for her.


    " Um, Young Master Long, Actually..."


    Lu Yanyu got up to talk with Long Ming. But she can''t be uncouth as her fellow courtesans.


    Who was Lu Yanyu? She was the well-preserved Sky Pearl of Eternal Spring Tower, the untouchable flower. It''s not like she is ignorant about the business of Eternal Spring Tower. However. Learning and applying is two whole different matter.


    She wished so much to make Long Ming remember their promise. The promise she made with Long Ming if she beat the Blissful Heaven Temple''s participant in Flower Boat Festival.


    However, Since her experienced ''sisters'' took the initiative, Lu Yanyu felt a strange nervousness.


    " Anyway, Since the four of us became the poprity of Eternal Spring Tower, It''s natural that Young Master Long will be served by us first. You vixen, you guys can get some thick rice soup as leftover."


    The noble girl cosyer added a sentence at the end. '' Leftover, only if there is really some leftover''


    " No! That''s not fair!"


    Long Ming was dumbfounded as he tried to escape. He didn''t understand why those sober girls suddenly turned crazy. But when he used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, his mouth turned into an ''O'' shape.


    He could see the dark purple pheromones from his body filling the entire area along with the seeping Fragrant Yin Qi. As the courtesans breathed in it, she they couldn''t help but look at Long Ming with incredible passion in their eyes.


    '' Holy Fuck! What was that? Is that the doing of Incubu''s Bloodline?''


    [ Ding! Constetion Demon Lord of Lust is clicking his tongue. He said he didn''t teach you the way of controlling your pheromones.]


    '' Wh-What the hell?! Teach me instantly? Else I will get eaten alive by them?''


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine World is shrugging. He is saying, The opportunity is here. Just do it!]


    "WELL!!"


    Long Ming didn''t get any time to think as he got carried into a luxurious boudoir of Eternal Spring Tower. As the door closed, the only thing that remained was the teasing giggles of women.


    Lu Yanyu stood there with a bewildered face as she held her zither.


    Yeah, So I was actually going to post a chapter yesterday. But to think I will actually fall sick. Anyway, After Reading LOTM2 chapter 105-109, I felt like cuttlefish punched my guts so hard. Although the ship didn''t say, AT LEAST WE CONFIRMED THE SHIP!


    UWOOOHHHHH!!!

 Chapter 51 One V/S Four (R-18)

    Chapter 51 One V/S Four (R-18)


    After contemting Harem King of Nine World for a few milliseconds, Long Ming finally decided.


    Yes, since the life is giving the opportunity, why not grasp it even he has to use his entire body?


    Why wouldn''t he fuc¡­He meant, to appreciate the gratefulness of these four women who got helped by him.


    " Well, I guess I have no choice then." Long Ming shrugged when he saw the bedroom door closing.


    " Poor me, I guess I have to do my best to not let them feel disappointed. How unfortunate, I always have to do so much."


    He sighed as he saw the four beauties before him. It was as if he was taking a great burden by approving their actions.


    [ Ding! Constetion All Resistance Thick Skin is choking on your monologue! 20 Star Coins have been sponsored!]


    [Ding! Constetion Shining Knight of Righteousness is showing disdain!]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is interfering! He is saying, " Hold up! Let him cook!]


    Long Ming turned off the notification as he didn''t wish to get disturbed by these old geezers amdist of his activities. As his body was squeezed by those four beautiful women, Long Ming felt like he was melting from their warmth.


    " So, How shall we begin?"


    " Hmm, How about making his tense body rx first?"


    Miss Housewife sat on the bed as her apron almost revealed the little ces it was hiding. Long Ming couldn''t help but gulp a mouthful of saliva when he saw the wless thighs.


    " Young Master Long, How about having some rest here?"


    Long Ming didn''t waste any time as he jumped on the bed. Miss Housewife giggled when Long Ming ced his head on his thighs as he used them as pillows.


    Indeed, Thick thighs save lives!


    Miss Housewife giggled as she leaned forward. Adjusting the straps of the apron which pressed against her breasts, she gently tucked them into her cleavage, making her ample breasts who offpletely.


    Apron cosy, something that even Long Ming won''t be able to resist even with all his might.


    Such a blessings from the lord.


    Feeling the weight of those two soft mountains on his head, Long Ming felt his body getting rxed.


    '' Now, This is the type of weight I want on my head. This is the stress I can ept wholeheartedly.''


    Meanwhile, Miss Cat and Miss Noble started to take off Long Ming''s pants. Soon, all of his clothes were lying on the ground.


    " My my, I expected it to be a rod. But who would have thought it''s the legendary Golden Pir."


    Miss Cat gently traced her finger on Long Ming''s pir as she bit her lips. " Hye hye¡­ It''s even one with nine dragon veins¡­"


    Long Ming was indulging himself up there as his face was being pressed by Miss Housewife''s mountains.


    However, looking at sideways, he saw Miss Fighter walking toward him holding a jar of wine.


    " Well, Don''t let out precious young master wait for so long¡­"


    " Huh?-"


    Before Long Ming''s brain could process those words, he felt two distinct tongues tracing his rod as his eyes widened. He took a sharp breath as his gave moved downward.


    Miss Cat and Miss Noble gave teasing expressions as their tongue licked his cock from the bottom to the tip. The Fragrant Yin Qi from all four women burst forth as it turned into the deepest shade of pink.


    However, Long Ming who already tasted the vor of forbidden fruit once, he is now much more confident.


    " Four versus one? How unfair."


    Miss Fighterughed when she heard that. " Well, Young Master Long is pretty resilient. We sisters have to work hard to please you, no?"


    She poured the wine into the cup as she rubbed the cup on Long Ming''s lips, making him drink little by little.


    " Well, I guess I have to make my move then."


    Long Ming smiled crookedly when he saw the arrogant smile on Miss Fighter''s face.


    Girl, did you think this young master can''t handle four at once?


    Let me show you the power of Eyes Covered With Hair Kun.


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine World is surprised! He is asking you how did you know his nickname?! 50 Star coins sponsored]


    Long Ming barely paid any attention to that because in front of him, there are much bigger things to focus on.


    He held Miss Fighter''s hand as he pulled her into his embrace. The wine spilled Miss Fighter''s chest as she felt an icy cold feeling. Long Ming grinned as he got up and held the waist of Miss Fighter.


    " I am a person who doesn''t like to waste something. Oh well, I guess the wine will taste better now."


    " NNGH!~"


    Miss Fight took a sharp breath when she felt Long Ming''s lips roaming on her breasts. Although her breasts weren''trge as Miss Housewife, it was perfect on her body.


    Long Ming''s lips teased her ample breasts as he gently sucked the wine over them. Then, his tongue stuck out and he started to tease the nipples of Miss Fighter.


    " Mm, You are already so excited, huh? Your nipples are so erect."


    He cupped both breasts in his palm as he sucked both of them at once.


    *SLURRP!!*


    " AHNN~"


    Miss Fighter moaned as she felt Long Ming sucking both of her nipples at the same time. His warm tongue rubbed the saliva on her erect nipples as his teeth nibbled them gently.


    However, Long Ming''s body shivered as he hurriedly looked at the two working on his little brother.


    " Huhuhu, I never thought Young Master wouldst so long even when both of us are working together." Miss Noble grinned as her tongue rolled around Long Ming''s pink spear tip.


    " Nya~ Let''s see if you can resist this demoness''s technique."


    Long Ming took a deep breath when he saw Miss Cat''s mouth slowly swallow his raging hard rod as her head moved downwards. Inch by inch, she swallowed his entire rod.


    Long Ming forgot about Miss Fighter for a moment as he felt the bliss from Miss Cat''s mouth. It was way better than the amateur Xiao''er. Long Ming felt like his cock was gently sucked by a vacuum.


    However, his Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art and Incubus''s Bloodline red up as Long Ming resisted that feeling.


    " Haah! Don''t you dare to hoard all the fun?"


    Miss Noble panted as her face was seething with desire. Her face neared as her mouth sucked the pair of gems beneath Long Ming''s rod.


    [ I seeded! I seeded in not impulse write a deeznut joke!]


    " Hah! Don''t you think I will back away!"


    Long Ming snorted as he focused back on Miss Fighter. His hand wrapped around her waist as he sucked her breasts more fiercely, Both Miss Fighter and Miss Housewife sat on Long Ming''s both sides as they presented their breasts before Long Ming''s face.


    However, their expression changed when they suddenly felt Long Ming''s hand slither on their thighs like a snake. Slowly, it reached the entrance of their hidden garden.


    " EEK!"


    "HUKK!"


    Both of them felt Long Ming''s finger sliding inside their sacred wells as they couldn''t contain their moans anymore.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi covered Long Ming''s finger as he started to finger both of them at the same time.


    Thanks to Harem King of Nine World''s advice he studied the technique deeply. It wasn''t just a cultivation technique. But, It is also a dual cultivation technique.


    Using the Fragrant Yin Qi, one can easily increase the sensitivity during the activities.


    Nice cheat, isn''t it?


    " Haah! Haah, Young Master. You seem so skillful¡­"


    " Young Master, More, caress me more¡­"


    Both Miss Fighter and Miss Housewife panted as their pussies were being yed by Long Ming while he also teased their breasts. All of them came closer as they started to kiss each other passionately.


    They didn''t understand why, but after tasting Long Ming''s saliva once, they couldn''t help but wish to kiss him more.


    But Long Ming knew the reason. It was the power of his Incubus''s Bloodline!


    Meanwhile, Miss Cat''s head movement became faster as she swallowed Long Ming''s rod all to its root. Long Ming felt like he isn''t going tost long as he also increased his teasing speed.


    " Haah! Haa! Young Master~"


    " NNNNGH~ I am cumming!"


    Long Mingughed as he saw the jet of spring water gushing from Miss Fighter and Miss Housewife''s sacred wells, soaking his hands.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming also reached his limits as he panted.


    " I am¡­"


    Miss Cat''s eyes widened as her tongue was feeling Long Ming''s rod clearly. The throbbing veins, the pulsing rod, she already knew what is going to happen.


    The rod throbbed as Miss Cat felt a gush of warm fluid in her mouth. It was thick and sticky, but it contained a strange addictive taste as well.


    " GUHH!"


    It barely took a few moments before Miss Cat felt her mouth is going to fill with Long Ming''s essence. Miss Noble felt the pulse from the gems as she pushed Miss Cat away and licked Long Ming''s rod.


    She thought it was already over. However, She was wrong.


    " Uahhh! It''s so much! Such a rich cum, I never saw it."


    Miss Noble was shocked when Long Ming''s cum spilled on her face, giving her the perfect facial. The cum stained her face as it dripped down on her breasts.


    " What a manly scent! Such addictive taste¡­"


    Mis Cat opened her mouth as she spilled a few drops. But the taste¡­It made her brain turn into mush from bliss.


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Young Master. We will lick it off clean."


    Both Miss Cat and Miss Noble giggled as they licked off Long Ming''s cock clean. They didn''t leave a single drop of cum on his cock at all.


    " Meh! It''s unfair! I also want to taste Young Master''s seed!"


    " Indeed! Young Master, You have to do justice for us!"


    Both Miss Fighter and Miss Housewife protested as they licked their lips. Long Ming grinned.


    " Don''t make a fuss. The night is still long, Ladies."


    " Hehe, Indeed." Miss Noble grinned. " Maybe, we should give Young Master some res-"


    Before she could say anything else, Long Ming''s seeminglyid cock got erect once again as it pped her cheeks.


    Everyone became stunned by the suddeneback of the ck dragon!


    " Such insolence!" Long Ming''s eyes narrowed. " Rest? I am ready to fight 3000 rounds with you guys on the bed."


    " The forey is over. Now, let''s start the main event!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Well, Fellow Daoists did wellst week. So, Let''s do even better this week. Also, take this chapter as an appreciation.

 Chapter 52 One V/S Four (Part 2) (R-18)

    Chapter 52 One V/S Four (Part 2) (R-18)


    Long Ming felt an endless supply of energy through his body as he looked at the four beauties before him.


    He had to admit, the level spiked from 0 to 100 real fucking quick. Like he was still inexperienced two days before.


    But now? He had to deal with four vixens at once.


    How troublesome.


    But Long Ming braved himself to walk forward and face such great difficulty. He was doing things for his millions of sworn brothers who wish such a life.


    Those poor souls who are unwillingly killing millions of their spawns with their hands. Those stained hands of white blood, the silent agony after killing your future generation¡­


    '' Fret not brothers! I will enjoy here fullest for your sake. I will taste the things you could only imagine. I will do the things which you can never do!''


    Long Ming clenched his fist as he muttered silently.


    [ Ding! Constetion All Resistance Thick Skin is speechless! He is saying even he wasn''t such a bastard!]


    " Young Master Long, You better don''t let us wait!"


    " Young Master, The night is so long. I am already feeling cold."


    Long Ming chuckled as he pulled out a coin from his spatial ring.


    " Well, Let''s decide. All of you, pick your choice."


    The four of them became stunned when they heard Long Ming''s suggestion.


    " Heads!"


    " Me too!"


    " I am picking tails!"


    " I think I will go for Heads!"


    Long Mingughed as he flipped the coin. But before it couldnd, his hands caught it swiftly.


    " Well, Let''s see the results."


    Long Ming revealed his palm. It was a tail.


    " HuhI won?"


    Miss Fighter was surprised when she saw the result. She picked the tails on a whim. But she never thought that she will be going first.


    " Tsk, I thought I will win."


    " Huhuhu, Let elder sister go first. We can always goter."


    Long Ming grinned as he looked at Miss Fighter. Her figure was slender, but it was also well defined. With her frosty expression and perfect body, she was the best candidate for this role.


    However, currently, her frosty expression was gone, covered by a lustful urge as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming didn''t avert his gaze either as he gently pulled her into his embrace.


    " Mmnnf!"


    Miss Fighter always put on a haughty and proud expression. The allure of a cold and arrogant woman was very charming, enough for men to look for her more and more.


    Not to mention, After Long Ming gave her the new teachings, her poprities soared through the sky.


    However, when Long Ming is standing before her, she can''t put that haughty expression no matter how she tried.


    Long Ming held her naked body as he sucked her lips, ying with her tongue.


    " My, You are leaking again, Miss Fighter. Are you really that excited?" Long Ming grinned as his finger teased Miss Fighte''s pussy. He could feel it was dripping wet.


    Miss Fighter can only whimper as Long Ming teased her entire body like that. After that, Long Ming held her waist as he pressed her on the bed.


    Her legs parted as Miss Fighter exposed her body before Long Ming. Long Ming chuckled as his cock was rubbing against her pussy.


    " Hehe, Are you ready?"


    Before Miss Fighter could answer, Long Ming pressed forward as his cock entered her sacred well.


    " AHNN!~"


    Miss Fighter''s eyes widened when her sacred well got pierced by Long Ming''s rod. She felt Long Ming''s cock stretching her fleshly walls to their limits.


    '' Wh-What''s this? What''s with this size?'' Miss Fighter was shocked as her thoughts came out of her mouth as moans. She never thought it will feel this good!


    " Ahnn~ Ahnnn! Yes~"


    Miss Fighter moaned as Long Ming started to move his waist, His cock pounded Miss Fighter''s pussy as the Incubus''s Blood and Fragran Yin Qi circted through Long Ming''s body.


    " Haah! Haah! This is so good! This is so fucking good!"


    Miss Fighter gasped for air as she tightly clutched her bedsheet. She could barely speak anything between her moans as Long Ming moved his body vigorously.


    " Hnngh! I am cumming again!"


    " Oh my!"


    " Wow!"


    The other trio became shocked when they saw Miss Fighter giving up so early. Yet, her squirt only made Long Ming''s movement faster. Long Mingughed as he suddenly pulled Miss Noble toward him.


    He pushed her on the Miss Fighter as he held her waist. Miss Nible gasped as she pressed Miss Fighter beneath her. Their breasts pressed against each other as Miss Noble''s ass and pussy were perfectly aligned with Miss Fighter''s.


    Long Ming, who was pounding Miss Fighter''s pussy, Suddenly pulled out his cock and shoved it into Miss Noble''s scared well. However, to not let Miss Fighter feel unsated, he used his fingers to please her.


    " HNNGH!~"


    Miss Noble was started by the sudden thrust. She got jolted forward, but Miss Fighter held her waist tightly as she prevented her from moving.


    " NNNGH! Yo-Young Master, It''s so¡­bigg!"


    Miss Noble felt her pussy was going to turn deeper by Long Ming''s rod. When Long Ming started to move, Miss Noble felt a flood of ecstasy through all her body.


    *PAA PAA PAA PAA*


    The sound of Long Ming and Miss Noble''s body shing echoed as the three of them increase their pace.


    " No- No¡­ I am¡­ Ahn~ Sensitiveeeeee,,,,!!"


    Miss Noble bit her lips as Long Ming suddenly gave a deep thrust. Along with that he also stimted her pussy lips with his fingers. Without a second dy, Miss Noble''s spring water sshed on Miss Fighter''sher region as both of their squits mixed.


    " Haah! Be prepared to receive my essence!"


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he shoved his cock in Miss Fighter''s pussy once again. But this time. His pace became faster as he could feel his tip hitting the end of her pussy.


    " HEEK! YES! YESSS! LET''S CUM!"


    Miss Fighter felt she was going to lose her mind from bliss. Suddenly, she felt a warm gush of fluid in her pussy. With such bliss, she also cummed along with Long Ming for the third time.


    But Long Ming pulled out his cock and connected himself with Miss Noble as he kissed her nape. " Well, It will be unfair if I let you remain thirsty, no?"


    " AHHNN~ Young Master''s cum! His hot warm cum is filling mee~"


    Miss Noble was shocked as she felt Long Ming''s cock fill her pussy with its sticky fluid.


    Didn''t he just cummed in elder sister? How can he let out another such load inside me?


    What''s with such thickness?


    Miss Noble''s eyes rolled back as she fell n Miss Fighter''s body/ Both of them hugged each other as their lower body was trembling from the excitement they just had.


    " Haah! Wh-What an experience!"


    " I¡­ I can''t remember when was thest time when sex¡­felt this good."


    " Mm, Elder sister, your body is so soft¡­"


    Miss Noble felt exhausted as she couldn''t move an inch. All she could do was lie on Miss Fighter''s naked body.


    Miss Housewife and Miss Cat were shocked when they saw the scene. Long Ming managed to defeat two of them at once.


    However, Miss Housewife already enduring enough from the beginning. When Long Ming was fucking Miss Noble and Miss Fighter, Miss Housewife kept rubbing her pussy as she tried to relieve herself.


    Long Ming turned around his head when he saw Miss Housewife''s hands moving But, she couldn''t do that.


    However, After Long Ming finished, her eyes widened when Long Ming''s rod wasn''tid at all. She could already smell the stench of the fluids as her body flushed in light pink color.


    Long Ming turned around his head when he saw Miss Housewife''s hands moving down there mischievously. He let out a smallugh as he sat on the bed facing Miss Housewife.


    " Well, What are you looking at, hm? If you want something, why don''te here and tell me?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Miss Housewife''s expression. Miss Housewife became stunned as a seductive smile spread on his face.


    " Hehe, My bad, Young Master. This concubine will sure follow your wish."


    Miss Housewife walked toward Long Ming as she took off her naked apron. As Long Ming sat on the bed, his cock was erect, pointing toward the ceiling.


    Her fingers spread her pussy lips as Long Ming could see the stains of her gushing spring water. Without saying anything else, she sat on Long Ming''s cock, connecting herself with him.


    As Long Ming''s rod pierced through her sacred well, Miss Housewife felt a strange sensation. Her legs trembled as she lowered her body bit by bit, till her pussy sheathed Long Ming''s spearpletely.


    " NGHH! It''s so¡­ Big!"


    Long Ming grinned as he lightly pped Miss Housewife''s ass. " Well, I am kinda tired now. How about¡­"


    Miss Housewife leaned forward as she kissed Long Ming passionately. Her heart was thumping like crazy as she spoke in a sultry voice. " No need to worry. Young master can rest as he wish. I will do all the work~"


    *PAAA*


    Long Ming pped her ass once again as he grinned. " Then start moving already."


    " Yes, Young Master!"


    After saying that, Miss Housewife started to move her hips as Long Ming''s cock started to grind her pussy walls.


    Her pace increased as she could clearly feel Long Ming''s cock tightly fitting her down there. As her body moved up and down, made soft pping sounds when it shed with Long Ming''s thigh.


    " Ahnn! Ahnn~ This¡­ This so.."


    " Fuck! I can''t stand like that anymore." Miss Cat felt her legs trembling when she saw the scene. Long Ming looked at her as he grinned.


    " Well, No need to worry. Come at me¡­"


    " AHNN! AHNN! IT''S TOO BIG!"


    Miss Cat moaned as she was on her all fours. She could feel Long Ming''s cock pounding her hard as she got fucking doggy style. He took turns as he kept rawdogging Miss Housewife and Miss Cat at once.


    '' Haah! Hahh! So, This is how it feels, huh? This feels so¡­ fucking good!'' Long Ming''s body moved on its own as he fucked both of them with great vigor.


    " Ahnn!~ Young Master, I am¡­ I am cumming!"


    " Young Master! I am¡­ Nngghh, I am about to¡­"


    Long Ming squeezed both of their asses at once as his rod pierced deep into them.


    Miss Housewife and Miss Cat felt their bellies turning warm Long Ming filled their sacred well with his creamy essence. Long Ming''s body trembled as he creampied both of them.


    Seeing all four of them lying on the bed with blissful expressions on their face, Long Ming nodded with a smile.


    " This ain''t much, but honest work."


    But soon, All of them got up after some rest. Long Mingughed as he looked outside the window. The night is still long after all.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    In another room, one could hear a faint moan of a woman.


    " Haah, This brat¡­ To think he would be this skillful."


    " Ugh, I want¡­ I really want that thing inside me."


    The woman''s fingers teased her pussy as she could see what is happening in Long Ming''s room


    " I am cumming¡­"

 Chapter 53 Planning For The Task

    Chapter 53 nning For The Task


    " Nnngh¡­"


    Long Ming''s eyes flustered as he slowly got up. Rubbing his eyes, he looked around himself.


    " Damn, I really got carried awayst night, huh?" Long Ming mumbled when he saw the four sleeping beauties on the bed along with him.


    The mix of sweet and strange scents lingered in the air as the bed was messier than a mess. Long Ming felt his body was feeling sore as he got up.


    '' To think I am still feeling exhausted after using my Incubus''s Bloodline and Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art.'' He stretched his body as he thought inwardly.


    Looking at the four beauties, he could see the blissful smiles on their faces as they slept. It was unknown what they were dreaming, but it must be something good.


    Long Ming sat cross legged as he circted the Fragran Yin Qi through his body.


    '' Huh? The Fragrant Yin Flower''s two more petals lit up. That''s good.'' Long Ming felt the flow of his Fragrant Yin Qi has be slightly better than before.


    However, the most noticeable change happened with his Scarlet Yang Qi. The Scarlet Yang Qi gotpressed into a corner in his divine sea. However, that cluster of qi looked more pure than before.


    Long Ming sat under the sunlight as he started to circte the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art. The Scarlet Yang Qi flowed in his body as Long Ming felt a warm current through his veins.


    However, it was purer than before, like a bar of iron got tempered by hundred times. The flow was smooth and the energy was robust. Not to mention, he felt a strange harmony between the Fragrant Yin Qi and Scarlet Yang Qi in his divine sea.


    '' Ah! Now I see. Dual cultivation is where both parties gets benefit from each other. Using Yin to nourish Yang and using Yang to refine Yin, the true aim of dual cultivation is to move forward by achieving harmony.''


    Long Ming became enlightened as he circted both techniques at the same time. The Yin and Yang energy swirled in his divine sea as he felt his cultivation rising.


    '' s, I can''t form my true core right now because I haven''t got the system clearance.'' Long Ming grumbled. Without forming his true core, Long Ming couldn''t ascend to the True Core Formation Realm. And to ascend to the next realm, he needs to have clearance from the systems.


    '' I hope I get a clearance in this system too.'' Long Ming pondered as he sighed.


    " I guess rather than increasing my cultivation, I should focus on my techniques for now." Long Ming let out a lightugh as he got up and wore a thin, silk robe.


    After that, he walked out of the room as he got greeted by two maids.


    " Good morning, Young Master Long. Do you wish to have breakfast first or bath?"


    Long Ming stretched his body. " A bath. I think I need to freshen up my body."


    The two maids led Long Ming to the bathroom as Long Ming entered the bathtub, It''s temperature was perfect as the water was mixed with some aromatic herbs.


    The two maids persuaded Long Ming to let them serve him more. But after teasing them for a bit, Long Ming asked them to leave him alone.


    " Mmm, This is peak rxation." Long Ming sighed as he felt his body pores opening. It was the best choice after having a night of intense sessions.


    " Uh, I saw some notificationst night. Let me check them." Long Ming opened the system window and saw he got four Green Bronze grade treasure boxes.


    " So, Maxing out the affection of C-grade girls gives Green Bronze grade boxes? Then, B- grade ones should give White Silver, and A- grade girls should give Dark Gold Chest. As for S-rankers¡­" Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva as he shook his head.


    Star tinum ss chest was very tempting for him. However, he calmed his heart in an instant.


    " One shouldn''t be too greedy. To enjoy the luxury, I need to be alive first." Long Ming mumbled.


    [ Ding! Host obtained a Polished Pearl Ne!]


    [ Ding! Host obtained Green Silk Dress!]


    [ Ding! Host obtained Bright Bronze Shortsword!]


    [ Ding! Host obtained Charm Inducing Ring!]


    Long Ming shook his head when he opened the boxes. All of the items were Green Bronze Grade and useless for him. For ordinary people, these items might be good. But for him, These are nothing. Long Ming decided to gift them to those four beauties after they woke up.


    '' But then, I have 60,000 AP right now. Should I look at the shop?" Long Ming opened the shop as he saw various things on the window. Most of the things were useful for women and got supplementary effects.


    Of course, because Max Level Affection System requires hooking up with various beauties. Rather than strength, one can use their intelligence to win them over. And these items here can be used to raise the affection of the member of the opposite sex easily.


    [ Ding! Roulette is open! One Spin costs 1000 AP! Since it''s Host''s first time, His chances of winning a high grade item are very high!]


    Long Ming raised his brows as he saw the spinning roulette. He could notice the glow of several Star tinum grade items in it.


    '' Mmm, but gambling is bad¡­ But, A little bit won''t hurt, right?'' Long Ming stretched his body as he washed his hands thoroughly. After that, he clicked on the 10X spin.


    10,000 AP got deducted as the roulette spun.


    Long Ming sighed when he found five out of ten boxes were empty. However, he hoped to find some real gem in the remaining five.


    [ Ding! Host won Skin Enhancing Paste 2X (White Silver Grade)]


    [ Ding! Host won a skill! Hundred Knife shes! (White Silver Grade!)]


    [ Ding! Host won an Affection Raising Fruit! ( Dark Gold Grade!)]


    [ Ding! Host won a skill! Ecstatic Cloud Palm( Dark Gold Grade)]


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he opened thest box. A bright light shone from that box as his eyes widened.


    [ Ding! Host obtained a Star tinum grade treasure! Realm Remolding Pill!]


    Long Ming saw a shining pill before him as he fell into contemtion.


    [ Realm Remolding Pill: Dissolves the current cultivation of a cultivator by two great realms. However, the dissolved power won''t vanish. The practitioner can store that power and use it to recreate their cultivation once more. Usable only for those under the Harmonization Realm]


    Long Ming''s eyes widened when he saw that description. After pondering a while, he finally understand the true usage of this pill.


    For cultivators, the foundation is most necessary. The current cultivation realm is thedder to ascend the next cultivation realm. If the foundation is shallow, a cultivator can never achieve the higher cultivation realm.


    However, This pill gives a chance to dissolve one''s cultivation in two stages and use that dissolved power to create a better foundation of cultivation.


    For example, assume a Primordial Spirit Unification realm cultivator reached that stage by using external means. His pce foundation of Violet Pce and True Core grade is inferior to average.


    They can eat this pill and revert their power back to Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Using their dissolved power, they can create a better foundation in Violet Pce Expansion Realm and True Core Formation Realm.


    And when they reach the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm again, their power will be increased by multiple times.


    '' What a heaven defying medicine! It''s basically a undo medicine without any side effects. No wonder it''s a Star tinum grade treasure.'' Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked at the medicine.


    '' I already achieved the perfect foundation of Violet Pce Expansion Realm. And no doubt I will achieve perfection in True Core Formation Realm.''


    '' But¡­ What if I dissolve those two perfect foundations? What if I undo them again and create my violet pce and true core? What sort of power I will achieve?''


    Long Ming cackled inwardly as he stored the pill in his inventory. Now, looking at the other items, they weren''t bad at all.


    [Skin Enhancing Paste: It is a beauty increasing medicine. Once applied, it will turn even an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan!]


    [ Hundred Knife shes: A skill that increases the proficiency of a knife. One sh and there will be a hundred cuts!]


    The thing that made Long Ming interested more was the Affection Raising Fruit and the Ecstatic Cloud Palm.


    [ Affection Raising Fruit: Increase the opposite sex''s affection by 20 points! It will show no effect if that person''s affection already reached 80 points]


    [ Ecstatic Cloud Palm: A superior massage technique that relieves one''s physical fatigue and mental tension. However, if used properly¡­ You know what I mean. *wink wink*]


    Long Ming almost choked when he saw thest line. He could already guess the other use of the Ecstatic Cloud Palm.


    '' Now, That''s some skills I want in my skillset.'' Long Ming nodded proudly as he saw his remaining points


    50,000 AP, but the items in the store was also expensive. In the end, Long Ming brought a Blooming Silk Robe that costs 20,000 AP.


    " En, This dress should fit Mu Qinglian well. I think she will be happy to get such a present." Long Ming mumbled as he walked out of the bathroom.


    When he entered his room, he saw along with the delicious breakfast, Meng Zhi was also there.


    " Good morning, My dear little brother." Meng Zhi grinned as she looked at the four sleeping girls.


    " I guess you had some intense activitiesst night. Nheless, little brother emerged victorious. I am so surprised."


    Long Ming took a bite of the dish as he smiled lightly. " Well, Thank you for giving such a...great reward. I can assure you that I enjoyedst night very much."


    " However, I wish to talk with you about something else." Long Ming sipped some soup. " About the mission in ck Pear City."

 Chapter 54 Looking For Treasures in Market

    Chapter 54 Looking For Treasures in Market


    Meng Zhi wore a small night robe, a t colored robe lightly covering her body. However, since it was pretty thin and loose, Long Ming could see the exposed skin underneath her dress.


    She sat while leaning back, exposing her sexy long legs. With a smile, she looked at Long Ming. " Ah, I forgot. Grand Elder gave you the task to negotiate with the Lan Family of ck Pearl City."


    Long Ming nodded. " What do you know about the ck Pearl City?"


    Meng Zhi nodded as spoke. " You know, ck Pearl City is an ancient city, almost even older than the Holy Qilin Empire. It was right next to Westward Bay, which is connected to the Thousand Ind Ring."


    " The Second Heavenly Emperor of Four Season Valley captured the ck Pearl City from the Tribe of Sea Folks. From then, it was a vassal city of the Four Season Valley."


    " However, After Four Season Valley got weakened, the ck Pearl City acted independently and lessened the flow of resources. Not to mention, They have gotten more rebellious past few years and gotten close to the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire."


    " Deep Sea Iron is a precious resource to forge weapons and treasures. No matter what, we need it. But it is hard to snatch such a big meat pie alone." Meng Zhi sighed.


    " Hmm, Then what is the problem? Why Lan Family is hostile toward us?"


    " Hostile?" Meng Zhi gave a coldugh. " Lan Family was once a subsidiary family of Four Seasons Valley. They got help from us when crisis loomed on them."


    " However, when they saw Four Seasons Valley got weakened, they took the chance and broke ties with us and took away the entire ck Pearl City. Those bastards, they forced us to sign a treaty as equal partners."


    " We can''t use brute force?" Long Ming sighed. Meng Zhis hook her heard when she heard that.


    " We can''t. Because if we do, the other sects might use this chance to attack ck Pearl City as well. The Holy Qilin Empire and Blissful Heaven Temple, even the Sky Martial Tower, they are waiting for such a chance."


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he sighed. " This is such a messy situation. Grand Elder really thinks that I can handle it on my own. Are you sure she is not sending me to my death?"


    Meng Zhi let out a light grin. " Perhaps? Who knows? But she was right. The Deep Sea Iron is very important for us.


    Long Ming sighed as he nodded. " Very well. But before I depart, I need all information about the Lan Family. And, I am sure Sister Lan is an expert regarding that."


    " Oh, I am ttered, Little brother." Meng Zhi smiled when she heard Long Ming.


    " I need the smallest details of the Lan Family, about their important members, their hobbies, likes, and dislikes, where they go ande, I need everything."


    Meng Zhi nodded as she got up. " Two days, Give me two days and I will prepare everything for you."


    " En, Sister Meng, I wanted to ask you something." Long Ming suddenly spoke. " Those four¡­ Why did you send them to me?"


    Meng Zhi grinned. " Why shouldn''t I? You are a healthy young man, Little brother. Sex is a very good way to let out the pent up frustration, no? You should do it often."


    " Erm, I thought you might be¡­ disappointed that I gave in to my urges." Long Mingughed awkwardly.


    " Why should I?" Meng Zhi shrugged. " Rather than that, I am surprised that you managed to keep yourself calm till now.:


    " Well, Staying in a garden and not smelling the fragrance of flowers is a waste, no?"


    With a giggle, she left the room. Long Ming sighed as he finished eating. As he was about to get up, the door flung open as he saw Mu Qinglian entering the room.


    " Ah, Senior Sister, You are here." Long Ming got up as he greeted Mu Qinglian.


    " I guess you are free now? Or, You wish to spend some more time here?" Mu Qinglian''s tone was cid as she looked at Long Ming. Ming Ming chuckled.


    " Naturally, I am free. Why? Does senior sister need some help?"


    Mu Qinglian nodded. " Me and Luo Yingying are going for a treasure auction. I wonder if you can tag along with us?"


    " An auction? Sure." Long Ming pondered as he nodded. He long waited to see some unusual treasures and items. Since he is in the world of immortals, naturally he wanted to explore it.


    " Very good. Now, get ready ande with us."


    Long Ming wore a ck robe that was tightly fitting his body. Looking at Mu Qinglian he smiled as he gestured. " Well, Let''s go."


    When Mu Qinglian and Long Ming walking in the Eternal Spring Tower, Mu QInglian''s face twitched when she heard various gossip.


    " Hah, Do you know? Although Young Master Long looks so handsome and lean, his thing down there is a massive beast."


    " I heard he fought alone and knocked down those four girls. You know them, they were simply the best."


    " Hehe, You guys know nothing. I and some other sisters peeked into that room yesterday night. Good heaven, Young Master Long was so vigorous."


    " Huhuhu, I got wet just by watching them. Such intensity, such passion¡­ Mmm."


    Mu Qinglian couldn''t endure anymore as she nced at Long Ming with her side eyes. " What exactly you were doingst night?"


    Long Ming was startled as he coughed lightly. " Uh, I was¡­ Giving some teaching to some members of Eternal Spring Tower."


    " Oh, And what sort of lessons were those?" Mu Qinglian raised her voice.


    " I was naturally teaching them the unification of Yin and Yang energy, the impact of two energy on body and mind. The discussion was so wonderful that we did some demonstration of my theories."


    Long Ming''s expression didn''t change the slightest when he answered Mu Qinglian.


    " Huh? Senior Brother Long, I also want to learn the mysteries of Yin and Yang."


    Luo Yingying was nearby when she heard Long Ming''s answer. " Maybe, With your insights, I can achieve some breakthrough in my path of rune inscription?"


    " Ermm¡­ About that." Long Ming almost choked when he heard Luo Yingying.


    Teaching her the way of Yin and Yang? If he really taught her, He can''t guarantee her dao of talisman, but her virginity will definitely break.


    " Bah! Shameless!"


    Mu Qinglian snorted when she saw the lecherous expression on the Long Ming''s face.


    " And you! You don''t need to learn anything from him. Just focus on your cultivation first."


    " Uwuuuu, Sister Qinglian, Why you must bully me?" Luo Yingying whimpered when Mu Qinglian pinched her cheeks.


    " Anyway, We are going to the auction of Hundred Treasure Pavilion and he ising as well." Mu Qinglian spoke to Luo Yingying as she sat in the flying carriage.


    " Hehe, Very well. It''s going to be fun!" Luo Yingying nodded as she smiled at Long Ming.


    Although it was named as Hundred Treasure Pavilion, it was big as a marketce. Since it was auction day, there was also a temporary treasure market opened by Hundred Treasure Pavilion outside.


    The items that came for the auction were simply too much in number. They needed to find the best out of them and put them on auction. Naturally, the vendors also see this auction as a chance to sell their items outside as well.


    " Hurry up! An Earth grade cultivation technique only at 10,000 middle grade Spirit Stones!"


    " A supreme treasure used by an Ancient Lord Realm Monarch! Only at 10,000 High grade Spirit Stones!"


    " A pill of longevity! A single pill can grant you additional 500 years of lifespan! Hurry up and don''t miss the chance! Only at 50,000 High grade spirit stones!"


    When Long Ming, Mu Qinglian, and Luo Yingying appeared in the market, they instantly attracted some attention. Especially Long Mig, who was walking with his Deste Immortal Aura.


    His ck colored robe enhanced his handsomeness more and he radiated a faint ethereal aura, that can affect reality itself. Not to mention, Mu Qinglian who was using a veil to cover her face. Even with a veil, even a blind can see her beauty. Luo Yingying''s beauty isn''t much low from her either.


    " Damn, Who is that young man? Why I never heard of such handsome Young Master?"


    " I think that girl is Four Season Valley''s Saintess! They must be here for the auction."


    Luo Yingying''s eyes darted around as she saw various treasures on both sides of the street. " Senior Brother, Should I purchase some treasures here?"


    Mu Qinglian shook her head. " Yingying, We are already running tight on budget. We can''t buy useless things. Not to mention, most of the things here were either fake or different from what they are told."


    " B-But, I remember! Last time, Someone actually got a Dao Crystal of an Ancient Lord Monarch. Not to mention, Some Royal grade treasures and supreme pills also appear in the outer market sometimes."


    " Ahh, The temptation of gambling¡­" Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Since there is still time before the auction, Why don''t we take a stroll through the market."


    " Yay! Senior brother agrees!"


    Mu Qinglian sighed when she heard Long Ming. " Fine, But no overspending, alright?"


    " Hehe, I think I should buy some formation gs and talisman equipment." Luo Yingying grinned as she dragged Long Ming away.


    Long Ming became amused when he saw the treasures across the street. The three volumes of Records of Myriad Treasures which he bought from God of Wealth System finally got their moment to shine.


    '' Now, Let''s see, Where are my precious treasures hiding.''


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as his vision spread across the area.


    .


    .


    .


    Hehe, I hope fellow Daoists liked the new cover. Too bad, I can''t post more revealing than that.

 Chapter 55 The Auction Begins

    55 The Auction Begins The Records of Myriad Treasures contained the details of various treasures of heaven and earth. Most of them were natural treasures while some of them were the byproducts of cultivation.


    Afterprehending three volume worth of it, Long Ming could call himself a master appraiser.


    When his Heavenly Revtion Eyes gazes through the entire area, Long Ming felt this Deste Immortal Aura was also awakening.


    Deste Immortal Aura was a divine ss ability he got from the first system. Long Ming could guess that its effect wasn''t simply to increase his charm. After all, Deste Immortal Aura was one of the reasons why he could obtain the Heavenly Comprehension Heart.


    The ethereal aura around him seeped out as Long Ming felt a strange connection between him and his surroundings. It was as if he turned into air and touched everything, feeling everything.


    He could feel the presence of every treasure in his vicinity, their power, their aura, everything about them was crystal clear to him.


    " Senior Brother, Look at that. That looks like a Noble grade rune inscription brush." Luo Yingying tugged Long Ming''s sleeve as she walked to a nearby vendor.


    " Hoho, Young Miss''s eyes are really sharp. Indeed, This Rune Brush was used by a Royal ss Talisman Master. It was recently discovered from a tomb." The shopkeep exined with enthusiasm.


    " It is said that the brush also contained the traces of enlightenment of that Royal ss Talisman Master." He held the brush as light runic chains appeared around it.


    " This is¡­ Seven Stars Runic Lock? Only a Royal ss Talisman Master can do it."


    " Hehe, Of course, I always sell authentic things." The shopkeeper nodded. " Since Young Miss is interested, I can give you a discount. 400,000 Mid grade Spirit stones."


    " What?! 400,000?"


    Luo Yingying took a sharp breath as she frowned. " Isn''t that too much?"


    " Well, Along with a Noble grade treasure, you are also getting a used item of a Royal ss Talisman Master. 400,000 Mid grade Spirit Stone is already quite a good price."


    Long Ming narrowed his eyes as he nced at the brush. When he tried to connect it with his Deste Immortal Aura, he only got a very faint response.


    Although Long Ming got knowledge regarding natural wonders, he is still ignorant about the appraisal of man made treasures. However, he got a solution for that also.


    '' Temporal Fate Simtion! Reveal the past!"


    Combining his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and Temporal Fate Simtion Technique, Long Ming started to see what happened to the brush in the past.


    The brush was created by using the cheapest materials. After that, The brush was wrapped in a powerful talisman for several days till the talisman''s aura hot absorbed by the brush. Not to mention, There was a Hallucination Diagram inscribed on the body of the brush.


    Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes to check and he found some traces of the Hallucination Diagram on it.


    " Well, How unfortunate. I don''t think we have money to buy a shy low-grade brush made up of ck Locust Wood."


    " This!!!"


    The shopkeeper nearly got a heart attack when he heard Long Ming. However, Long Ming''s aura burst forth as he red at the shopkeeper.


    " I¡­ I don''t know what you are talking about." The shopkeeper sweated. Luo Yingying was also confused. " Senior brother, Are you saying it''s not a genuine item?"


    Long Ming grinned. " Well, Since it can produce Seven Stars Runic Lock in the air, why don''t you imprint it on talisman paper right here?"


    " Uh, About that¡­ Using the things before selling isn''t ethical¡­" The shopkeeper coughed lightly. But when he felt powerful pressure from Long Ming, he shut up.


    '' What is this person''s cultivation base? Why his aura is so suffocating? It was as if I am being judged by high heaven itself¡­'' The shopkeeper mumbled inwardly.


    " Well, It''s obvious that lots of fake things gets sold here in vendors. However, If words get out taht you are tricking people, won''t your reputation will plummet nheless?" Luo Yingying became angry.


    " Heh, It looks like I got exposed." The shopkeeper''s expression changed as he chuckled a bit. Long Ming was already ready to attack him if he pulled out some underhand fuckery.


    But then, the shopkeeper with his vendor suddenly vanished from there, leaving a cloud of dust. Luo Yingying and Long Ming couldn''t even notice how he escaped.


    The only thing that remained was the human mask on the ground, which was ripped to shreds.


    " Hateful bastard! I almost got tricked!" Luo Yingying stomped her feet in anger. Long Ming couldn''t help butugh at that.


    No wonder why they are so fearless. Under the protection of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and using disguise, they can scam people as much as they want.


    And if they got caught, they can just dissappear.


    " Don''t worry, Junior Sister Luo. Since I am here, I will help you get some bargains." Long Ming chuckled as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes spread across the area.


    " Junior Sister, That''s Blue Water Bamboo. It''s an excellent material to craft a brush."


    " This ordinary-looking rock is actually Core Earth Crystal. You can use this to craft an Earth attribute talisman."


    Luo Yingying became stunned as Long Ming went on a shopping spree. He purchased some random items, but he exined the true usage of them. But then, Luo Yinying became scared when he spent 200,000 Mid grade Spirit Stones for a pendant.


    " Senior brother, 100,000 spirit stones for this, Isn''t that bit too much?" Luo Yingying hastily spoke. Long Ming didn''t mind her as he spent money from his own wallet. He still has 10,000 High grade Spirit stones which is equal to the 10,000,000 Mid grade Spirit stones.


    After he purchased, he returned to the main spot to meet with Mu Qinglian. " Well, This jade pendant is for Sister Mu."


    " En? Why did you bring me a present?" Mu Qinglian raised her brows. " How much did it cost?"


    " 200,000 Mid grade Spirit stones." Luo Yingying spoke. Mu Qinglian''s expression changed.


    " Well? That''s pretty pricy. Did you pay on your own? What''s the use of this pendant?" Mu Qingliang''s brows arched slightly.


    " This is a Spirit Nourishing Jade carved into a pendant. Although it''s currently an Earth grade treasure, it can boost one''s Spiritual Energy. Not to mention, with constant refinement, it can be a Noble grade, no Royal grade Treasure."


    Mu Qinglian''s expression changed when she heard that. Spirit Nouring Jade is a precious treasure of nature. It''s used to heal the wound inflicted on soul and boost spiritual energy. It''s worth more than 200,000 spirit stones that Long Ming spent.


    " This pendent truly disguised the Spirit Nourishing Jade well. Without eyes of an expert, one can''t tell them apart." Mu QInglian pursed her lips as she gave a light smile to Long Ming.


    " Thank you. I guess it was good since you came with us."


    As they walked and talked, the auction in the building of Hundred Treasure Pavilion was almost starting.


    Long Ming''s eyes widened when they entered the inside.


    It was like a smile stadium with sitting arrangements. It can adate a few thousand people at least. However, Long Ming and others went to the VIP cab which was big as a room. From the ss window, they could see everything clearly.


    Soon, the lights in the pavilion dimmed as the stage lit up. A women wearing a sexy red dress walked on the stage. She was beautiful and her dress was dancing between the realm of modest and promiscious.


    " Greetings, ur dear guests from faraway. Wee to our humble auction. I hope the auction of Hundred Treasure Pavilion will satisfy your needs."


    Soon, the auction begun as dazzling items came on the tsage one after another. The first dozen items were formon folks. However, afteter that, the true treasures started to appear.


    " This item is a bottle of True Core Supplementary Pill. For cultivators of True Core Formation stage, this pill is like an elixir. A bottle of High grade pills, bid starts from 50,000 Mid grade spirit stones!"


    " 60,000!"


    " 80,000!"


    " 100,000!"


    " 130,000" Mu Qinglian bidded. When Long Ming and Luo Yingying looked at her, she sighed. " It''s for you, Luo Yingying, You already reached the peak of True Core Formation stage. You should hurry up and ascend to the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm."


    " But it''s too precious. I can ascend to the next realm on my own. You should get it to distribute among other sisters." Luo Yingying shook her head.


    However, as Mu Qinglian increased the price, another VIP room also did same. Soon, the bid reached 250,000. Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he held Mu Qinglian''s palm.


    " Don''t. Let''s stop for now."


    Mu Qinglian was startled, but she nodded. As for the next item, It was a five hundred year old spiritual herb. Mu Qinglian started her big at 50,000 Spirit stones and soon, the other VIP room started to bid against them.


    Mu Qinglian and Long Ming''s eyes narrowed when they saw that. " You guessed right. Someone is trying take us down."


    Luo Yingying grimaced. " It must be those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards. But now, How can we purchase the things we want?"


    Long Ming pondered. " I guess we need to split up. Luo Yingying, You should go to the lower floor and bid against us for two items. After that, we will notify you whatever we are going to buy and you will buy it."


    Mu Qinglian understood what Long Ming wanted to do. Separating Luo Yingying and making herpete against themselves, it will create a simple illuion of two different parties.


    Not to mention, it''s amon urence that some big shots rather sit inmoner''s pavilion than VIP rooms.


    And after that, Luo Yingying can safelt get the things Four Season Valley wants. Luo Yingying wore a veil as she nodded. After she left, a servant came to the VIP room to serve snacks and wine.


    Long Ming''s eyes shed as a grin appeared on his face.


    " Ey, brother. You don''t look new here. Since when you are working here?" Long Ming smiled lightly at the servant.

 Chapter 56 Duping Blissful Heaven Temple

    56 Duping Blissful Heaven Temple


    The servant was stunned when he heard Long Ming. Seeing his graceful and powerful aura, he couldn''t help but feel awestruck.


    " Young Noble is wise. This old servant is working here for over five years." The servant bowed respectfully.


    " Then, I guess you know your way around the auction and Hundred Treasure Pavilion?" Long Ming smiled. The servant nodded.


    Long Ming snapped his fingers at the Bright Bronze Shortsword, the one he got from the system. " Here, Take this as a token of appreciation."


    The servant''s eyes widened when he held the sword. Just by its looks, he could tell that it was a powerful Xuan grade weapon. He kept the sword hurriedly and bowed. " Servant thanks Young Noble for his generosity."


    " Well, Since you are so experienced, Why don''t you tell me about the participants in VIP Rooms?" Long Ming spoke. " Especially that one?"


    The servant looked at the other VIP room from the ss window as he nodded. " That''s the room reserved for the Blissful Heaven Temple."


    " I knew it." Mu Qinglian clenched her teeth as she snorted. " Those bastards, one day I will kill all of them."


    The servant pretended not to hear anything. Other than them, Those rooms are for Six Sword Pavilion, Violet Cloud Sect, Grand Sky City Lord''s Faction. Even someone from the Imperial n who joined the auction."


    " Other than them, The Ancient Jiang n and a Mysterious Force took the VIP Rooms."


    Long Ming nodded when he heard that. " Very well, You helped us properly."


    The servant bowed as he was about to leave, he paused and turned around. " Young Noble, You should keep an eye on the final item. I heard it was supposed to be a Longevity Pill."


    Mu Qinglian and Long Ming became startled when they heard that. After saying that. The servant left quietly.


    " Hah, Longevity Pill? I don''t think I would be able to purchase that." Mu Qinglian sighed. " But to think our esteemed young master is so generous, handing out a Xuan grade weapon so casually to a servant."


    " Well, You can call this an investment." Long Ming chuckled. " I could have tipped him some spirit stones, but giving a treasure is much more significant."


    Not to mention, A Green Bronze rank treasure from the system isn''t worthy under his eyes. Mu Qinglian chuckled as she focused back on the auction. Since they found their enemies, it will be easier to counterattack.


    ording to the n, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian attracted the attention of Blissful Heaven Temple on useless items while Luo Yingying quietly got the items Four Season Valley wanted without much problem. In this way, she already purchased some pills and treasures that are required for them.


    However, as the auction progressed, the items started to be precious and more precious. Even Violet Cloud Sect and Six Sword Pavilion jumped to join the fun.


    " This is a Five Thousand Year old Skydew Flower. Most of alchemists already know about its special healing property. The bit starts from 200,000 Mid grade spirit stones!"


    " 300,000!"


    " 400,000!"


    " 450,000!"


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as he asked. " Actually, How much money you brought this time?"


    " 10 million Mid grade spirit stones." Mu Qinglian answered. Jun Tianyun estimated and saw it was the same as 10,000 High grade Spirit Stones.


    However, seeing the auction barely went after its mid point and the prices are hiked so much, Long Ming didn''t think ten million mid grade spirit stones will be enough."


    " But, That doesn''t mean we can''t y big." Long Ming chuckled. " Say, Senior Sister Mu, Does our sect require Skydew Flower?"


    " Well, It can be used to create a powerful medicine pill that can heal any sort of injury or regrow flesh and skin. Of course it''s in high demand."


    Long Ming grinned as he nodded. " Increase the bit to one million."


    " What?!" Mu Qinglian was shocked. But seeing Long Ming, she sighed.


    " One Million!"


    *BOOOM*


    It was like a p of thunder. The auctioneer became pleased as she shouted. " 1 million! Anyone wants to raise the price?!"


    " 1.2 Million!"


    Naturally, The Blissful Heaven Temple will not let the chance go away Long Ming chuckled as he nodded. Mu Qinglian shouted, " 1.5 Million!"


    " Two million!"


    Mu Qinglian snorted as she was about to raise the price, but Long Ming stopped her. " It''s enough for now. We have already cast out bait."


    Saying that he whispered something in Mu Qinglian''s ears.


    Mu Qinglian then shouted, " Hateful! How dare you obstruct our biddings?!"


    " Heh, Saintess Mu is being unreasonable. If you have money, Why don''t you spend it? The auction is everyone''s after all."


    Long Ming recognized the voice. He was Mo Zhu, the bastard who tried to mess with him in the Literary Meeting in Eternal Spring Tower. Long Ming''s lips curled as he snorted.


    '' Since you dared to mess with me again, Don''t expect me to not fuck you up.''


    After that, Two Earth grade treasures appeared and they got snatched by the City Lord''s Faction.


    " The next item is an ancient rock found in the tomb of an unknown expert. Although the materials are unknown, we concluded that it can attract a great amount of True Qi from the surroundings. However, other than that, we don''t know anything."


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as he scanned the rock. At that moment, he also felt many other divine senses observing the rock.


    " Well, The bid starts from, 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones."


    Everyone became silent as they looked at the rock. Spending money on some useless rock isn''t a wise thing. However, Long Ming felt different.


    He channeled his Deste Immortal Aura into his Heavenly Revtion Eyes as he peered at the rock again.


    *BZZT BZZT*


    Long Ming hastily withdrew his aura as his eyes shed with disbelief. " Senior Sister, Ask Luo Bingyu to purchase it,"


    " Huh? But¡­ I don''t see any specialty in it."


    " Just do it!"


    Luo Yingying got the message as she nodded. " 100,000 Mid grade Spirit stones!"


    " 150,000!" The Violet Cloud Sect made their move. Luo Yingying didn''t back down as she increased by price by another 50,000.


    Soon, The price reached 500,000. But Luo Yingying didn''t back down. Suddenly, Long Ming made a bid, 700,000."


    " Huh? Why are you bidding against Ying''er?" Mu Qinglian became even more confused. This time, Blissful Heaven Temple didn''t make any move.


    " And, This rock goes to Four Seasons Valley."


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian and asked. " Senior Sister, Can you get that rock here as fast as possible?"


    '' Since we purchased it, It''s possible."


    Soon, the rock arrived in their room and Long Ming touched it. His Deste Immortal Aura touched it as the rock shone with a golden light.


    *BZZT ZTTT*


    The outeryer of the rock cracked as a golden page emerged from it. Suddenly, the entire room was covered by the daoist rhythms as mysterious runic chains shot out from the page.


    The daoist runes filled the entire auction hall, making everyone gasp in shock. They could feel their cultivation trembling from the daoist rhythm. The connection of heavenly dao became vivid as if they are manifesting themselves right there.


    Long Ming pinched the page as the daoist runes sealed back in that page.


    " This¡­ This is a Supreme Intent left behind by a Dao Refining Realm master. Just one step beneath Ancient Lord Realm!" Mu Qinglian''s lips quivered as she was shocked.


    Long Ming curled his lips as he increased his voice. " It''s truly a blessing in disguise. Who would have thought an ordinary rock contained a page of Supreme Intent? Thankfully, We got it."


    The entire hall exploded into discussion when they heard it. They couldn''t help but praise the kneen sightedness of Four Season Valley.


    " This next item is an ancient painting of a sword. It was recovered in one of the Forbidden Zones. The bid starts from 200,000 Spirit Stones."


    " 250,000"


    Mu Qinglian started the bid. Following her, the bid started to increase explosively. Finally, It was only Blissful Heaven Temple and Four Season Valleypeting.


    " Five Million!" Mu Qinglian shouted in an angry voice. " Hmph, Blissful Heaven Temple shouldn''t bid if they don''t have money."


    " Seven Millions!"


    " Tne Million!"


    " Twelve Million."


    Mu Qinglian became anxious, but seeing Long Ming, she kept bidding. " Hey, I don''t have that much money. Are you sure that painting is a supreme treasure as well?"


    Long Ming nodded. " I am very sure that painting is definitely¡­Not a treasure. It''s simply trash."


    Mu Qinglian''s expression turned stiff as her eyes widened. " What! You told me to bid a dozen million for a trash item?!"


    " Well, It''s trash, We know that. But¡­Blissful Heaven Temple doesn''t know." Long Ming let out a wicked grin. Soon enough, Blissful Heaven Temple increased the price by five million and the price of the painting reached 17 million spirit stones."


    At that moment, Mu Qinglian sighed. " Well, Now I don''t need it. I am quitting."


    " And the painting is sold to Blissful Heaven Temple for 17 Million Spirit Stones!" The auctioneer announced. Long Mingughed loudly when he heard that.


    " Did you like our sweet revenge, Senior Sister? We made them spend 17 million on trash."


    Soon, Luo Yingying returned to the room as she heard Long Ming. " Really? Hahaha, Serves them right. You are a genius, Senior Brother." Luo Yingyingughed loudly.


    Since her task is over, she can now rx in the VIP room.


    " The final round of auction has started. This is a peak ss Sky grade Cultivation Technique: Golden Sun True Fire Law!"


    " The bid starts from Two million stones!"


    Long Ming could feel the desires in Mu Qinglian''s and Luo Yingying''s eyes. However, within a matter of minutes, the price soared to 50 million stones. In the end. Finally, it got snatched by the Six Sword Pavilion.


    The next item was something that shocked Long Ming.


    " This is 1 KG of Azure Mirthil! An exceptional material to forge powerful treasures! With this, you might even be able to forge a Royal ss treasure!"


    " The bid starts from 10 Million spirit stones!"


    '' Eh? Azure Mirthil? Didn''t I get that from God of Wealth System? I have around 100 KG though?''


    Long Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw the bidding turned crazy in that instant.

 Chapter 57 Strange Girl! Treasure Giving Grandpa

    57 Strange Girl! Treasure Giving Grandpa


    The price kept rising as the bidding war became fierce. Mu Qinglian sighed as she shook her head. " Too bad, The financial condition of Four Seasons Valley isn''t good,"


    " Well, Actually, How much money do you think we have in our treasury?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " Around one million High grade Spirit stones?"


    Long Ming almost spat out when he heard that as his hair stood on its end. '' Fuck, When I asked one million high grade spirit stones to Xia Yuqing, did she hand all the money of the treasury to me?''


    '' Holy shit! Thank god I didn''t became greedy and took it away.'' Long Ming sighed as he saw the price reached one hundred million mid grade spirit stones.


    " One hundred Million Mid grade spirit stones! And the Azure Mirthil goes to¡­ Ancient Jiang Family!"


    " Hmm, With one kg of Azure Mirthil, They can probably make tens of high-quality weapons. I wish I could get that." Mu Qinglian sighed. Long Ming couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " Well, I am sure heavens never blocks all the way. Who knows? You might get some of that?"


    After that, A Noble Grade weapon appeared on the auction stage. " This is a Noble grade weapon, The Scarlet Demon Axe. As you can see, It also contains the intent of Scarlet Demonze Fire."


    " The bid starts from 50 Million Spirit stones!"


    " 60 Million!"


    " 80 Million!"


    Long Ming narrowed his gaze as he looked at the axe on the stage. It waspletely crimson, with dark vein patterns giving a sinister glint. " Senior Sister, Among the Scarlet Demonze Intent and the Supreme Intent of the Golden Page we got, What is more precious?"


    " Well, If we are talking about firepower, the Scarket Demonze Intent is powerful. However, If you wish toprehend the dao and increase your cultivation, our golden page is much more precious."


    Long Ming got up as he looked at Luo Yingying and Mu Qinglian. " Let''s go back."


    " Huh? But the auction''s finale is still remaining. I wish to see the final treasure." Luo Yingying pouted.


    Long Ming sighed. " Don''t you understand? For a poor man, cherishing a jade is a crime. What do you think will happen if we get besieged by people who might covet the golden page?"


    " This¡­"


    Both Mu Qinglian and Luo Yingying were startled. Long Ming waved his hands. " You two should leave right now. I will be roaming outside to distract them."


    " Alright. But be safe and don''t do anything reckless." Mu Qinglian held Luo Yingying as they walked out. Long Ming gave onest nce to teh auction as he also left.


    As Long Ming told them, Luo Yingying and Mu Qinglian didn''t use the usual flying carriage. Instead, they took a different route. As Long Ming was walking outside, someone called me.


    " Aha! I finally found you, Brother Long!"


    Long Ming turned around and realized it was Ling Yuan of Six Sword Pavilion.


    " Haha, I guess I dyed regarding the painting, eh?" Long Ming unfolded his paper fan as he gave a light chuckle.


    " Of course. Do you know how much I tried to find you? I almost thought ran away." Ling Yuanughed loudly as his voice turned low.


    " So, Did you make it?"


    Long Ming grinned as he handed four scrolls to Ling Yuan. " Quality is guaranteed.


    Ling Yuan barely opened the first scroll, but he hurriedly threw it into his spatial ring.


    " Brother Long, Tell me the truth. Are you secretly a painting saint?"


    Long Mingughed as he waved his paper fan. " What do you think?"


    "I believe so."


    " Then I have nothing to say."


    " Haha! Good!" Ling Yuanughed as he ced his arm on the shoulder of Long Ming. " But to think Four Seasons Valley will get a Supreme Intent left behind by an Ancient Lord realm cultivator. I am really envious."


    " Fate, Brother Ling. Everything got its own fate." Long Ming chuckled as he and Ling Yuan strolled for a while.


    " Alright, I have to leave now. But Brother Long, You must remind me if you create some painting next time. I will definitely purchase it." Ling Yuan gave a serious look before he walked away.


    '' Hmm, I guess I should start getting some AP. I can''t just sit one month and let the Max Level Affection System go to waste.'' Long Ming pondered.


    However, As he was walking, he suddenly paused his steps as he saw a woman wearing a violet dress.


    She wore a long silky skrit, with her arms covered by a thin violetting. Her silky ck stockings outlined her lean and wless legs. The violet veil hid her face, but her gem like eyes can easily hook someone''s soul.


    She suddenly stood before Long Ming as she gazed at him. Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he recognized her.


    " Ah, Perhaps you are the winner of the Flower Boat Festival Solo Competition?" Long Mings spoke first.


    " As expected of the man behind Eternal Spring Tower''s sess. I greet Young Noble Long Ming."


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he nced at her. Her veil was a spiritual treasure that can easily block powerful divine senses. However, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes could see through it.


    " Hmm? Young Noble, It''s not proper to gaze at a youngdy like that."


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes shed as he suddenly saw an apparition of an azure qilin appearing behind that girl. The Azure Qilin roared as it protected the aura of that girl.


    Long Ming retracted his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, but his expression didn''t change. " Indeed, It''s my fault. Hmm, I wonder how should Ipensate this youngdy?"


    " Oh, I wonder too. How about apanying me for a drink?"


    Long Ming was about to agree, but suddenly he noticed something.


    '' Strange¡­ I am not getting any AP at all.''


    No matter what, if a girl shows the slightest hint of appreciation toward Long Ming, he will get 1 AP. However, he wasn''t getting anything at this moment.


    " How unfortunate, But I am in a bit of a hurry." Long Ming smiled. " But, I would like to hear this miss''s name. I guess you are from the Ancient Jiang Family?"


    The girl was startled a bit as she looked at Long Ming. " Jiang Wanxue. My name is Jiang Wanxue."


    " Like a Snowy River, pure and untainted." Long Ming grinned. " Although I don''t have much to give, Please keep this as a gift."


    Long Ming handed a scroll to Jiang Wanxue. When she opened it, her eyes were surprised.


    It was a poem written in beautiful calligraphy. A poem Long Ming wrote in his free time during his stay in Eternal Spring Tower. He realized the more he practice his artistic skills, the more they became closer to the grand dao.


    Purple sleeves, red strings, during a bright moon.


    In the dark, ying alone, bowing my head.


    Strings cease, fingers rest, and all sound stops.


    Having deep feelings, ten thousand times over, repeat.


    The words were written beautifully as one could see the illusion of a peaceful night. The gentle breeze blew as the woman folded the scroll.


    " I will appreciate this gift." She spoke with a light smile.


    Long Ming cupped his fist as he turned to leave. However, he couldn''t help but wonder about Jiang Wanxue.


    '' How strange, If I had given that calligraphy to someone else, that girl would have already felt joyous. However, I couldn''t get a single AP from Jiang Wanxue, Just how firm her heart is?''


    '' Not to mention, Azure Qiling is protecting her fate, but I can guess she already reached the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. Azure Qilin¡­ Could it be¡­''


    Long Ming felt some suspicion, but he shook his head. He would rather discuss with Mu Qinglian than reach on conclusion.


    As Long Ming left, Jiang Wanxue''s smile faded. An old man appeared behind her side as he stroked his beard.


    " Such a poem. The calligraphy already reached the realm of visualization. It''s hard to find someone so schrly at his caliber at such young age."


    Jiang Wanxue''s expression didn''t change. " What about his cultivation?"


    " Immeasurable. Like a pebble dropped in a deep ocean, I couldn''t find anything." The old man sighed. " But his aura¡­ It was as if he was bathing in the dao of heaven and earth itself."


    Jiang Wanxue turned around as she held the scroll.


    " In the end, the emperor''s road is paved with blood and bones. Everyone is nothing more than a tool."


    The old man sighed as he shook his head.


    After strolling for a while, Long Ming finally sighed. As he was about to leave, his eyes fell on a rusty sword being sold by one of the vendors.


    The old man sat there silently as a lot of ragtag items scattered before him. Long Ming walked to that ce as he held the rusty sword.


    " What is this?"


    " Something found in a Heavenly Emperor''s Inheritance Pce."


    " Must be precious, no?"


    " Indeed."


    " How much?"


    The old man shrugged. " I don''t know. I don''t need money, to be honest. If you have some unusual item, You can show it to me."


    Long Ming pondered as he took out a jade cup and his Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes. With a gentle shake, he poured a cup of wine and handed it to the old man.


    The moment wine fell in the cup, one could see the colorful lights danced around it. A light gust of wind blew as a fragrance of flowers spread. The old man raised his eyebrows as he held the cup and took a sip.


    " Ten Jugs of wine and it will be yours."


    " Three."


    " Five!"


    " Done!"


    Long Ming grinned as he took the rustic sword. The old man finished the cup as he smacked his lips.


    " Which sect do you belong to?"


    " Four Seasons Valley."


    " Tsk, Even after a thousand years, their fortune hasn''t rotten away." The old manughed as he took out something.


    " Take this. This is a bottle of Spirit Awakening Great Pill."


    Long Ming caught that bottle as his expression changed. " I¡­ I will be grateful to the senior for this generosity."


    Saying that, his Raging Storm Wings pped as he disappeared from his ce. Long Ming became a streak across the sky as he went to the Four Seasons Valley.


    The old man sighed as he saw five jars of wine before him.


    " What an interesting guy."


    Wait, Does anyone remember the chapter I wrote about the ssification of Treasures? Like True Grade and Xuan grade? I can''t find it REEEEEEEEE

 Chapter 58 Departure To Black Pearl City

    58 Departure To ck Pearl City


    Water droplets dripped as the room filled with light steam. Meng Zhi stood there with a calm expression as she bowed.


    " Greetings, Sect Master."


    " You know, You can call me Elder Sister in private." Xia Yuqing''s voice behind the white curtain drifted out.


    " Then, Can I join the bath with you?"


    " No."


    Meng Zhi sighed.


    " Anyway, What did that brat ask you to do?"


    " He asked me to gather all the intel about the Lan Family. It looks like he is very serious."


    " En, That''s good for him. He must learn the way of the world to grow up quicker." Xia Yuqing nodded. " Then, What happened in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion''s auction? Although I am feeling bad for restricting the finance, It had to be done."


    Meng Zhi grinned, " Well, The result might surprise you."


    With a flip, she opened the box. Suddenly, a golden page floated out as the entire room filled with daoist rhythms. The dao of heaven and earth became vivid, making a person feel closer to the grand dao.


    Each of those letters carried an immense pressure, like a tune from the High Heavens itself.


    The white curtain lifted as Xia Yuqing became shocked. " This is a Supreme Intent of an Ancient Lord Realm Cultivator?


    " Unfortunately, There is only a single page. Although it is nothing for higher level cultivators, It''s a good item even for Harmonization Realm Cultivators." Meng Zhi closed the box.


    " Worth it. Any money spent on it is worth it." Xia Yuqing sighed. " The Imperial Tournament ising near. We must conclude the mess with Lan Family before that."


    Meng Zhi nodded. " I already got the report on them. Shall I send Long Ming today?"


    Xia Yuqing nodded. " That will be better. Also, Who should be apanying him?"


    " This¡­ Mu Qinglian and Luo Yingying can''t go. Some of our disciples are deployed in the ck Pearl City. But they are only Sevant ss disciples."


    " In that case¡­ Ask Ming Yuexin to apany Long Ming."


    " Her?!" Meng Zhi was surprised. " But she¡­ What about Grand Elder?"


    " She needs some breath of air. Besides, I wonder if Long Ming could see the reason I am sending her with him." Xia Yuqing sighed.


    " Very well, I will arrange it."


    Xia Yuqing nodded as she turned around, The water droplet glided over her smooth back like transparent pearls. Her body was simply heavenly,pletely proportional without a single extra ounce of fat.


    " If you stare like like that, this bathroom will flood with your saliva, Meng Zhi."


    " Hehe, Elder Sister is too beautiful." Meng Zhi chuckled as she sighed. " I guess my condition is worsening day by day."


    " Don''t worry, I will handle it after hees back from ck Pearl City."


    " Hehe, Handle it in what way?"


    " Lass, You are reading too many of those dirty books."


    Meng Zhi shrugged. " If I don''t read, How would I manage the Eternal Spring Tower?"


    With augh, she turned around to leave. Xia Yuqing''s wless body was again submerged in that pool of water.


    .


    .


    When Long Ming came back, Meng Zhi arrived in front of him. " My, Little brother is back. Sect Master is very pleased regarding your performance in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.


    " Well, We had toe back early. I really wish to see the final treasure though." Long Ming sighed. " I hope Senior Sister Mu and Luo Yingying arrived safely."


    " They did. However, You have a more important task on your hand." Meng Zhi spoke. " Return and pack your things. You will be departing for the ck Pearl City right away."


    " Huh? At least let me get some rest." Long Ming frowned. Meng Zhi giggled as she gently rubbed Long Ming''s shoulder.


    " I know little brother is a bit tired. But the time is running out of our hands. From the next week, the selection of the Imperial Tournament will begin. We need to handle this case before that."


    " Meh, What''s the point? I am not going to run errands for free." Long Ming shrugged. Meng Zhi raised her eyebrows as she gave a coquettish smile.


    Long Ming got shivered under the skin as he felt Meng Zhi''s lips near his ears.


    " How about this? When my Little brother wille back, I will arrange another banquet in Eternal Spring Tower. And in that¡­ Lu Yanyu will also join."


    " You know, she has been feeling hot and bothered since yourst visit to Eternal Spring Tower."


    Long Ming''s expression remained tranquil, but his heart thumped. He gently pushed Meng Zhi aside. " Hmph, Fine, I will leave right away. But I don''t think I aming alone?"


    " You won''t. A powerful Core Disciple is going to apany you."


    Long Ming let out a sigh of relief. " Very well, I will be here in a few minutes."


    When Long Ming returned to his abode, he saw Xiao''er was practicing diligently. Her breathing was stable as the True Qi revolved around her. She slowly opened her eyes as she was surprised.


    " Young Master! You are back!"


    " Haha, Xiao''er, I guess you have been practicing wholeheartedly. Here, Take this." Long Ming handed her a bottle of Violet True Qi pill, that''s a supplementary pill for Violet Pce Expansion Realm Cultivators.


    " Violet True Qi Pill? Young Master, This bottle is too precious I can''t¡­"


    Long Ming pressed her lips with his index finger. " Shhh, If you dare to defy your master, You will get punished, right?"


    Xiao''er blushed when she heard the word punishment. She gently held Long Ming''s cor as she kissed him.


    Their lips met as their tongue started to y with each other. Both of them felt their heart warming by this situation.


    " Also, Take this medicine too." Long Ming handed her a Skin Enhancing Paste. " Apply this on your skin when you are cultivating. You will see a nice surprise."


    " Hehe, Thank you, Young Master. You are too generous." Xiao''er giggled as she turned around. " I should prepare a bath for you now."


    " Err, About that¡­" Long Ming sighed. " I have to leave somewhere for a few days. So, I can''t apany you."


    " What? B-But, Young Master, I cane along with you. I am your maid after all."


    Long Ming shook his head. " No, You should stay here and cultivate. I need you to cultivate with utmost focus so you won''t fall behind, ok?"


    Xiao''er sighed as she lowered her head. Long Ming gently kissed her forehead as he went to his manor to pack his things.


    As he packed everything in his storage ring, he walked out and met Mu Qinglian.


    " Leaving already?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he nodded. " Why? Senior Sister is worried about me?"


    " Hmph, Why would I be?" Mu Qinglian snorted as she nced away. " Anyway, Ming Yuexin is going toe along with you. Among the junior generation of Four Seasons Valley, Her sword technique is the strongest."


    " And¡­ Just remember, No matter what, She is nice in her heart."


    " Hmm?"


    Long Ming couldn''t understand thest sentence. Is there anything wrong with Ming Yuexin?"


    " Here, take this, You will take a transportation flying boat from Grand Sky City to ck Pearl City." Mu Qinglian handed him a token. " And, This is a Earth grade sword from the Treasure Pavilion. We are only renting you though."


    Long Ming chuckled as he kept it. " Well, Although I have better weapons, this will be fine."


    Long Ming understood theck of treasures in Four Seasons Valley. He held the sword and put it on his back.


    Soon, they arrived at the flying boat port. Long Ming was in awe when he saw gigantic flying boats around there. They looked like a giant cruise ship, but they can fly.


    " Really? Are we going to use that flying boat?" Long Ming''s eyes shone with a bright light.


    The boat was gigantic, with a golden iid and a luxurious look. Even the female attendants look sexy and beautiful.


    Mu Qinglian looked at it as she sighed. " No, we are going to use that one."


    " Haah?!"


    Long Ming''s flower-like face withered instantly when he saw Mu Qinglian pointing at a shabby-looking small flying boat. " Hey! I am the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley. Should I not get some privilege?"


    " You are already getting to use the flying boats! Otherwise, It will take five days to reach there!"


    Long Ming clenched his fist as he sighed. '' Should I have joined a demonic sect?''


    As Long Ming turned around, he saw a woman standing behind him.


    She got a perfect figure, with ample breasts. She was tall and her eyes gave off a mesmerizing charm. It was like two bright moons in the night sky, filled with charm and mysteries.


    But the thing that made Long Ming feel odd is her attire. She wore a tight ck robe and her arms were wrapped with a white bandage. Even her face was covered with a tight veil and she wore a conical hat to hide her face.


    The ck sword on her waist, although it was sheathed, gave off a dangerous vibe.


    " Sister Ming, You have arrived. I hope everything has been well."


    '''' It is."


    Although it was short, Long Ming couldn''t help but sway by Ming Yuexin''s melodious voice. But why did she hide her appearance so much? What is she wish to hide so much?


    Long Ming could see a Mu Qinglian giving a deep sigh. Ming Yuexin walked to her as she patted her shoulders.


    " Qinglian, It wasn''t your fault. Don''t me yourself."


    " Sister¡­"


    Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming as she spoke. "You''re the new True disciple?"


    " Long Ming greets Sister Ming Yuexin."


    " Whatever, Don''t pester me unless it is urgent."


    Long Ming grimaced when he saw Ming Yuexin''s cold attitude toward him Mu Qinglian sighed. " Don''t worry. She will help you no matter what."


    " Also, Elder Meng asked to give this to you. This contains all the information you wish to know."


    Long Ming nodded as he took the jade slip. Without saying anything, he boarded on the ship as it started to take off.


    Long Ming entered his private room and sat on his bed. He took out the rusty sword and started to examine it.


    " Now, Let''s see¡­"


    .


    .


    .


    Idk why, But here is an extra chapter for today.


    Also, Do you know what the ssification of treasures? Not the White Silver or Dark Gold one. I am talking about the ssification in Immortal World. I forgot it, Fml."

 Chapter 59 Comprehending Sword Intent! Ming Yuexins Shock!

    59 Comprehending Sword Intent! Ming Yuexin''s Shock!


    The room was pretty small, with a bed and attached bathroom along with a small living room. However, Long Ming felt prettyfortable in it.


    He sat in a meditative position as he took out the rusty sword from his spatial ring.


    It was a longsword with a length of slightly bigger than one and a half hands. However, it waspletely covered with a pale crimson rust. The hilt looked junked as there was dimmed gem embedded in it.


    However, when Long Ming gazed at it with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he felt a tremendous murderous aura erupting from the sword.


    The pale crimson rust turned into a sea of blood as a piercing sword aura ascended to the heavens. The moment the sword shed, a powerful army of a million soldiers turned into a bloody mist.


    The sword''s intent was simply unparalleled, invincible under heaven. Long Ming touched it as he calmed his heart. Soon, the visions disappeared as it returned to the old, rusty sword.


    Long Ming scratched the pale crimson rust as he looked at it carefully. " This is¡­ Fiendish Blood rust."


    Fiendish Bloodrust is a type of rust that forms after the umtion of powerful spirit blood on a strong metal surface. It is born when a weapon constantly bathes in the blood of powerful cultivators and doesn''t get cleansed. The blood turns into a sticky rust that erodes the metal surface.


    '' However, It''s not like it''s useless. On the contrary, I can make something from it.'' Long Ming remembered the Records of Myriad Treasure as he thought about something.


    His Scarlet Yang Qi congealed in his palm as Long Ming created a spark of crimson me. He held the sword in both his hands as he tried to peel off the Fiendish Blood rust from the rusty sword.


    However, the power of the Fiendish Bloodrust erupted as Long Ming got covered by a thick ughter aura.


    " This sword¡­ It definitely used to be a Royal grade weapon. Ugh, It''s so powerful!" Long Ming felt like his body was cut by sharp needles when he tried to refine that sword.


    The sword intent contained in the rusty sword was too sharp. One mistake and Long Ming might turn into precisely diced meat slices.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura erupted as it enveloped the sword. The sword acted like a small fire and got drowned in a bucket of icy water. Instantly, he calmed down, as if it got suppressed by Long Ming''s aura.


    '' Deste Immortal Aura is sure mysterious. I think I should research it more.'' Long Ming pondered as he refined the Fiendish Bloodrust from the rusty de.


    The scarlet me on his palm was created by the Scarlet Yang Qi, which was a powerful Yang attribute element. The mes were very good to deal with the Fiendish Bloodrust.


    As Long Ming managed to gather a small cup full of Bloodfiend Rust, the sword cracked up.


    '' Oh, Damn! I thought I could restore this!" Long Ming cursed.


    However, the moment the rusty sword cracked, a white light shot from it and entered Long Ming''s forehead.


    " ARRGHH!"


    Long Ming felt like his body was being sliced by countless swords as he clutched his head in pain. He realized the white light circled around his soul as it condensed into a miniature version of the sword.


    However, unlike the rusty sword, it looked pure and unblemished, like a drop of essence from a jade.


    Long Ming feel the sharp sword intent from the miniature sword as it revolved around his soul.


    Long Ming took a sharp breath as he shook his head. It was the same as having a bullet stuck near his heart. One wrong move and he might not even reincarnate again.


    However, The sword intent felt pure and unadulterated. It doesn''t mean any harm as it revolved around his soul. Long Ming thought for a moment as he used his Heavenly Comprehension on that miniature sword.


    Suddenly, Long Ming saw the miniature sword turn into a sea of memories as it shed across Long Ming''s eyes.


    Long Ming felt like he was holding a sword as he stood amidst a battlefield. With a sword in his hand, he proudly raised his head as he saw the army or demons and gods.


    Sword Intent is unbendable. No matter what is the situation, even under the pressure of heaven and earth, the sword looks at the s sky with pride. As long as the heart is steady, the sword can slice through heaven and earth.


    From the basic stances of the sword to the mystical movements of sword intent, from holding a small steel sword to controlling a sword that pierces the sky, Long Ming slowlyprehended everything.


    [ Ding! Host''s understanding of the sword increases! Host obtained Sword Intent!]


    Slowly, Long Ming could feel like he can control that miniature sword. With utmost carefulness, he used hisprehension of sword intent as he moved the miniature sword from his soul to his divine sea.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi and Scarlet Yang Qi rolled as the miniature sword is now residing in his divine sea.


    '' Just looking at it, Iprehend the Sword Intent? What is that miniature sword?"'' Long Ming pondered as he shook his head. Suddenly, he thought of something as he got up and walked to Ming Yuexin''s room.


    Knocking the door gently, Long Ming called out, " Sister Ming, Can Ie in?"


    " ¡­"


    " Sister Ming?"


    Long Ming''s face turned odd when he heard no reply. " If you don''t answer, I wille inside."


    " I think I told you not to disturb me unless it is something urgent?"


    " Uh, I think It is urgent?"


    "... You cane in."


    Long Ming entered the room and saw Ming Yuexin. She was still wearing her strange attire, leaving nothing exposed other than her eyes. Long Ming sighed as he suddenly thought something.


    He opened his Max Level Affection System window and checked Ming Yuexin''s favorability.


    Ming Yunexin (S-grade): 40( Suspicious)


    '' Eh? Why is it below 50? Why she dislikes me?" Long Ming frowned as he couldn''t remember meeting or doing something that might upset Ming Yuexin.


    But what made her surprised is that Ming Yuexin is graded as S-grade by Affection System. It''s the same as Xia Yuqing and Mu Qinglian.


    " Are you here only to stare at me?"


    Long Ming coughed lightly when he heard that. He cupped his fist, " Sister Ming, Senior Sister Mu said that your sword is unparalleled among the junior generation. I wonder if I can borrow some books regarding the basic sword styles?"


    Ming Yuexin raised her brows when she heard Long Ming. " Basic sword techniques? Why?"


    " Because, To build a powerful foundation of sword techniques, one should make their foundation firm." Long Ming answered.


    [ Ding! Host gets +10 AP]


    Ming Yuexin creased her brows as she sighed. She took out two scrolls and threw them at Long Ming. " Here, Take this."


    Long Ming saw the two scrolls. " Foundational Sword Technique" and " Seven Lights Sword Technique."


    Long Ming opened the scroll as he read through the content. They truly contained the basics of swords, from how to hold them to how to make movements.


    However, With Long Ming''sprehension of sword intent, he can see the profundity of the basic techniques.


    Ming Yuexin saw Long Ming standing quietly as he engrossed himself in those basic techniques.


    After a short while, Long Ming ced the scrolls back on the table. As he stood silently. Ming Yuexin couldn''t help but snort. " What? Finished reading already? Just because they are foundational techniques, That doesn''t mean¡­"


    However, Ming Yuexin''s speech cut in the middle as he held the sword he got from Mu Qinglian in his hand. He held the sword hilt as the aura around Long Ming transformedpletely.


    Suddenly, he drew his sword as a faint light shed. The small porcin bottle a few feet away got sliced like a block of butter. Suddenly, The sword in Long Ming''s hand moved as he first did the basic movements.


    sh, thrust, cut, lunge, parry, sweep, Long Ming fluidly did all the basic movements. As time passed, even the basic movements becameplex. The shes turned into different types of shes and the cuts turned into various types of cuts.


    Ming Yuexin was shocked as he could see a faint light covering the tip of Long Ming''s sword.


    " First Stance! Sword Reflection!"


    Long Ming''s sword moved his sword shed, making a big and deep sh. He was now performing the Seven Light Sword Technique.


    " Second stance! Wind Chaser!"


    " Third stance¡­"


    " Fourth¡­"


    " Seventh stance! Illuminating Sword Light!"


    After Long Ming did all seven stances, he didn''t stop. Suddenly, Ming Yuexin trembled violently as he stood up. A powerful aura gathered in Long Ming''s sword as he made an attack.


    " Congealment! Seven Lights Be One!"


    *SWISH SWISH SWISH!"


    His sword let out a mighty aura as it made continuous deadly attacks.


    " This¡­This!!"


    Ming Yuexin knew the significance of the eighth move. Unlike the previous seven stances which were foundational techniques, The eighth stance actually hidden among the other seven stances, hidden from the gazes of ordinary eyes.


    The seven stances were easy, but the final move wasn''t something that could be performed by learning it alone. To perform Seven Lights Be One, one needs to have a firm foundation of sword technique along with the realm of Sword Aura.


    Long Ming paused as he sheathed his sword. The aura around him vanished in that instance as he cupped his fist before Ming Yuexin.


    " You¡­ You learned sword techniques before?" Ming Yuexin asked suspiciously.


    " Not really. It is my first time wielding a sword." Long Ming spoke with a light smile. " Thank you, Sister Ming, for your guidance."


    " I¡­"


    Ming Yuexin was speechless when she heard that. She couldn''t belive Long Ming managed to perform the Seven Light Bes One just by reading the technique.


    What a terrifying talent! Even Ming Yuexin felt her talent of sword is pale before Long Ming.


    [ Ding! Ming Yuxin''s favorability toward Hist increased by 10 Points! Host gets 500 Ap! Current favorability: 50 (Neutral)]


    " Sister Ming, Do you know about a thing that looks like¡­" Long Ming told her the brief characteristics of the miniature sword in his dantian.


    Min Yuexin pondered as she was surprised. " Are you talking about the legendary Sword Embryo?"


    .


    .


    .


    An important announcement. After the small arc of ck Pearl City ends, The story will also end.

    Hehe, Just kidding. After this arc, I am thinking of locking all the chapters. Also, I might be on hiatus for a few (a week?) days where I might or might not post chapters because I will be stockpiling.


    " Wai-Wait! It''s just a funny way to announce something! Why are you approaching with weapons?"


    The poor humble schr shouted as he saw the daoist readers approaching him with a menacing gaze.


    " Oh don''t worry, We will keep your hands safe and sound, so you can write. As for the other body parts..."

 Chapter 60 Gathering Intel!

    60 Gathering Intel!


    Seeing Ming Yuexin''s favorability increase, Long Ming found a way to win her heart.


    '' She is a sword master. The sword masters are usually half lunatics. If I can arouse her interest regarding sword techniques, she will naturally look at me in a favorable way.'' Long Ming pondered in his heart.


    " Sword Embryo is a treasure that is created from the blessings of heaven and earth. However, the pure embryo needs to be tempered with one''s Dao of Sword to turn it into a Sword Embryo." Ming Yuexin exined.


    For the understanding of various powers, there are five stages: Aura, Qi, Intent, Heart, and Dao. As Ming Yuexon said, The Sword Embryo directly contains the Grand Dao of Sword.


    " If such a treasure is refined, yourprehension of the sword will be increased by tens of folds. Not to mention, Your sword technique will be unparalleled. "


    Long Ming''s face turned odd when he heard that. ''Could it be¡­ someone sealed the Sword Embryo inside that rusty sword?"


    Ming Yuexin didn''t notice Long Ming''s expression as she continued. " Sword Embryo is really a precious item. Even Nine Revolution of Soul Realm cultivator will show interest in it."


    Long Ming thought of that shabby old man who sold the rusty sword to Long Ming. Although Long Ming couldn''t decipher his cultivation stage, he guessed that he was at least at the Harmonization Realm cultivator.


    However, Long Ming could understand why he showed interest in his wine. After giving away arge amount of wine to Eternal Spring Tower, Long Ming improved the wine and sealed the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes, and increased the speed of time.


    In the past few weeks, more than a century passed inside the urn, making the wine rich and more vorful. It was even dense in True Qi, which can help a cultivator to soothe his mind.


    '' Given enough time, even a pebble can gain consciousness. I shouldn''t underestimate the value of a spirit wine.''


    "Anyway, I hope you understood." Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming. Long Ming hurriedly nodded. " Actually, Sister Ming, What is yourprehension realm of the sword?"


    Ming Yuexin hummed as she looked sideways. " I barely reached the peak of the Sword Qi realm. It''s still some time before I canprehend the Sword Intent."


    The world is so unfair, ah¡­ Long Ming chuckled in his heart. Ming Yuexin probably toiled for years to reach the peak of the Sword Qi realm. However, Long Ming barely took a few moments toprehend the Sword Intent directly from the Sword Embryo.


    Not to mention, if he really put his body and heart in learning, he might evenprehend the Grand Dao of Sword.


    " But, It''s good to see that you can already use Sword Aura. It looks like you have some talent for the sword." Ming Yuexin spoke. Long Ming gave a wry smile as he only used the sword aura before.


    But even the sword aura was enough to shock Ming Yuexin.


    However, After a small talk, Ming Yuexin looked at the window. " Since everything is concluded, you can go back. Don''t disturb me unless you have some serious doubts."


    " I shall take my leave then."


    Long Ming didn''t press anymore as he nodded. Holding his sword, he walked back to his room. Ming Yuexin sighed after Long Ming left the room.


    " Haah, I guess he isn''t far from being a True Disciple. Since Sect Master took this decision, she must have seen his talent. I guess fate will never change."


    Long Ming didn''t spend much time in his room as he walked to the deck of the flying boat. It was already night as the small flying boat moved at a rapid pace across the sky.


    Despite its speed, the breeze on the deck was very gentle, as the fierce wind was being controlled by the flying boat''s formations.


    Long Ming''s clothes gently fluttered as he found a ce to sit. Looking at the vast night sky, he couldn''t help but feel a strange feeling.


    He gently poured some wine and took a sip as he admired the scenery. Others who were there, they became stunned when they looked at Long Ming.


    He was like an immortal in the mortal realm, sitting and enjoying a spiritual wine. The aura around him was ethreal as if he was basked in the blessed light of the moon and stars.


    " Who is that young man? He is so handsome!"


    " My heart throbs whenever I look at him."


    " Could it be, he is a disciple from a prominent sect?"


    " Who knows?"


    Long Ming opened the System Shop and started browsing. Currently, he had 65,000 AP. So, he decided to shop for some things.


    '' Hmm, There are some nice things on sale today. Let''s see."


    Long Ming bought a gem ne, a fiery red robe for women, a Happy Mood Pill, and Stallion Stamina Pill.


    The ne and the dress were the items that can increase the favorability of any woman. Not to mention, they could be a great gift.


    [Happy Mood Pilli: A small cure for negative feelings. One pill can dissipate the negative mood of a person, making them feel good and happy] (Readers: I will take your entire stock)


    [ Stallion Stamina Pill: Take one before the deed and for your partner, you will turn into a powerful steed. Like a wild stallion, you will get high stamina and virility for a period of time~]


    Well, This is the least needed item for Long Ming. However, for some people out there, this is nothing less than an extremely necessary elixir. Who knows, Long Ming might use this to gain someone''s favor.


    And just by the four items, Long Ming spent around 40,000 AP. The Roulette got two-day cooldown. So, he could only use that tomorrow.


    " Hmm?"


    Long Ming saw many people giving him curious gazes he smiled gently. Without saying anything, he returned to his room.


    However, He didn''t sit ideally in his room. Steadily, he practiced his sword technique. From the basics to advance, Long Mingprehended the stances and their core essence.


    Sword Aura can create a powerful aura around the sword. The sharp aura and overwhelming momentum can increase one''s power.


    Sword Qi is the physical manifestation of Sword Aura. Sword Qi can be condensed into sharp energy outside which is sharp and deadly. When one can shoot Sword Qi externally, the reach of the sword will increase tremendously.


    Sword Intent is the realm where one starts to understand the sword itself. It''s like understanding the will of a weapon, using it ording to one''s will. It is using the sword without the sword, only the intent matters.


    After practicing for another day, Long Ming finally understand the essence of Sword Intent.


    '' Previously, I understood the Intent of Bow and Arrow. And now, I evenprehended the Sword Intent. Hehe, If I go like this, Won''t I be able to master a thousand weapons?'' Long Ming chuckled.


    As he saw it are already noon, someone knocked on the door.


    " We are going to arrive in the ck Pearl City."


    Long Ming washed his face as he walked out. Ming Yuexin was still in her all-covering dress as she stood outside.


    " Good Morning, Sister Ming."


    " En."


    Although Long Ming didn''t expect any reply, seeing Ming Yuexin''s nod, he was happy.


    Long Ming and Ming Yuexin could see the majestic city before them that was filled with an ancient vibe. It looked rich and prosperous due to it being themerce hub beside Westward Bay.


    The flying boat slowlynded as Long Ming and Ming Yuexin arrived in the ck Pearl City.


    " Shall we go to the Lan Family Manor?" Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming as she asked. Long Ming nced at the city before him as he shook his head.


    " No, We aren''t going there. At least, Not for now." Long Ming shook his head. He took out a conical hat and hit his face.


    " Sister Ming, Why don''t we fill our stomachs first? The Flying Boat''s food was shit anyways."


    Ming Yuexin couldn''t understand the intention of Long Ming. However, she got no choice but to follow him.


    " Sea Breeze Inn. This is the top quality inn of the Sea Breeze Inn." Long Ming spoke. It was a giant luxurious inn with many powerful guards guarding it.


    " Wee, Customers, What can I do for you?"


    Long Ming looked at the receptionist as he took off his conical hat. Seeing the handsome face of Long Mingm the female receptionist became stunned.


    " Beautiful Lady, is there any room avable for two of us?"


    " Ah, Sure. There are Mortal Rooms, Premium Rooms, and Royal Rooms. Which of them would you prefer?"


    " I guess two separate Premium Rooms will be ok." Long Ming spoke. The girl nodded as she looked at him.


    "One night will cost 20,000 Mid grade spirit stones. Since you are taking two rooms, 40,000 spirit take this."


    14:01


    " Haah, do we need to spend this much?" Ming Yuexin sighed. Long Ming chuckled. " Don''t worry, stones per night."


    " This¡­ Why don''t we take the Mortal Rooms?" Ming Yuexin whispered. Long Ming chuckled as he pulled out the spirit stones and ced them before the receptionist.


    " Here is 80,000 Spirit stones, We will be living here for two days."


    The receptionist smiled as she gave them two tokens. " Please enjoy your stay. Also, Our seafood is very popr here."


    Ming Yuexin was baffled as she followed Long Ming. Long Ming passed her the room token. " Here, take this."


    " Haah, do we need to spend this much?" Ming Yuexin sighed. Long Ming chuckled. " Don''t worry, Sister Ming. Think of it as my treat."


    " So, Are we going to eat lunch here?"


    Long Ming grinned as he walked outside of the inn. " Nope."


    Ming Yuexin became confused again. Booking the room in the most luxurious inn but not eating there? What does he mean?


    Soon, Long Ming and Ming Yuexin arrived in a small pub, that was filled with people. It was much smaller than the Sea Breeze Inn, and it was almost filled with people.


    They ate and drank, and talked with loud voices. Ming Yuexin couldn''t understand why they came here.


    They finally found a seat as Long Ming called a waiter.


    " Two of your best dishes with two jugs of special wine."


    " Right away, Sir."


    But before he could leave, Long Ming stopped her. He passed her a hundred spirit stones and looked at him.


    " While our order is being prepared, How about you give me some intel regarding the Lan Family and the Huo Family?" Long Ming chuckled.


    The waiter''s eyes shone when he saw the pouch of spirit stones.


    " Very well, Sir. You chose the right man."


    .


    .


    .


    Regarding chapters turning premium, I will do it after this small arc ends, means there are still 10-15 chapters. Also, I am doing this to mize my work, After all, this poor schr needs some copper coins and silver taels to survive.

 Chapter 61 Piquing Attenion of Third Concubine

    61 Piquing Attenion of Third Concubine Long Ming nced at the waiter as he nodded. Although he had gotten all the relevant information from Meng Zhi, he decided to have some ground zero survey.


    Lan Family''s patriarch has been ruling for almost seventy years. Under his power, the Lan Family was able to dominate the Huo Family and Three Feather Group, the two other factions in the ck Pearl Society. And now, Lan Family is trying to gobble up Huo Family using marriage.


    The Third daughter of the Huo Family, Huo Jiyan is betrothed to the young master of the Lan Family, Lan Hai. If this marriage happens, Huo Family and Lan Family will be official partners and raze down the Three Feather Group in no time.


    " Other than the patriarch, The First Madame and the Third Madame also hold some power in the Lan Family. Especially the third madame, whom Patriarch Lan Xiao married five years ago."


    " She is a beautiful woman with a dignified aura. She doesn''t participate in politics much. However, She isn''t someone you can take lightly." The waiter spoke.


    " Not to mention, Even Patriarch takes her word seriously. Too bad, they haven''t conceived a child."


    Long Ming heard that as he pondered. He also had a report on An Lu''an, The third concubine of Lan Xiao. However, it didn''t state much about her.


    " So, Do you know anything exclusive about An Lu''an?"


    The waiter looked around as his voice turned low. " Actually, I have heard that Madame An goes to Autumn Pool Pavilion once a week. And judging the time, she might be there today as well. You know, she is a lover of painting and calligraphy."


    Suddenly, a wide grin crept on Long Ming''s lips as he patted the back of the waiter. " Good, You are very skilled in your work. If I even need it, I will contact you again."


    " It will be my pleasure, Sir."


    Soon, the dishes were served before Long Ming and Ming Yuexin. Long Ming rubbed his palm as he started eating.


    " So, You were here to gather intel, huh?" Ming Yuexin took the wine cup and started to drink while lightly opening her veil.


    " But before that, Won''t you be eating?" Long Ming was puzzled. Min Yuexin shook her head. " I always eat alone."


    " Are you sure?"


    " I am. I will eat when we go back."


    Long Ming nodded. " Very well. After we return to Sea Breeze Inn, I will ask the waiter to bring food to your room. I can''t let you work here with an empty stomach, no?"


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes narrowed as if she was about to smile. But in the end, she didn''t. But, Long Ming got 100 AP from that.


    " Anyway, The thing is, The Lan Family has grown sorge that if the Three Feather Group and Huo Family joins hand, they couldn''t do anything. Therefore, Hua Family took the chance and allied themselves with Lan Family." Long Ming spoke.


    " It must be a hard time for Three Feather Group. They must be in despair right now." Ming Yuexin sighed. " I heard Three Feather Group is strongly connected with the Westward Pirates. Although they are merchants, they also deal with the pirates."


    Ming Yuexin sighed as she gulped the wine in one go. Long Ming only got a brief moment to see her lips. When he saw it, he couldn''t help but sigh.


    '' Man, I just want to suck them.''


    " How I wish we can just take down the three forces and im the ck Pearl City for our Four Seasons Valley. After all, This ce is founded by our ancestors."


    Long Ming shook his head, " Time will even corrode diamonds into dust. Without enough power, one can''t handle prosperity. Anyway, Our primary mission is to get enough Deep Sea Iron for our sect."


    " But I doubt they will agree," Ming Yuexin snorted lightly. " They are dealing with Blissful Heaven Temple and the Royal Family of Holy Qilin Empire for so long."


    Long Ming sighed as he got up. " I will think of a way. For now, You should go and rest, Sister Ming. I will walk around the city and see if I can think of a way. We will go to the Lan Family Manor in the evening."


    Ming Yuexin nodded as she got up. Soon, Long Ming dropped her in the Sea Breeze Inn. He didn''t forget to order the food and wine for Ming Yuexin.


    After that, Long Ming walked out as he looked at the street. " Autumn Pool Pavilion, huh?"


    Soon, Long Ming reached the building of the Autumn Pool Pavilion. It was a famous teahouse for its scenery and tea. Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion eyes and saw there are very few people on the third floor.


    '' I hope she is there.''


    Without dying, Long Ming walked to the third floor. When he reached the entrance, he could see a beautiful woman sitting beside arge opening and enjoying the scenery.


    " Halt! Who are you?"


    " This ce is reserved at this moment."


    Two guards blocked Long Ming''s way when he was about to walk into that floor. Long Ming looked at them and he could see both of them were in the Mid stage of True Core Formation Realm.


    Long Ming calmed his heart as his paper fan opened. " Well, Is it really etiquette to stop an admirer of beauty to appreciate it? I wish to enjoy Rippling Sea Tea and paint the scenery."


    The woman''s attention was attracted as she looked at Long Ming''s figure. Long Ming gave a natural smile to her as he gently waved his paper fan.


    " Brat, It seems like you didn''t hear. This ce is reserved for now."


    " Hmph, Who are you calling a beauty? Are you here to flirt with our mistress?"


    The guard naturally felt annoyed at Long Ming. However, Something about his aura was keeping them from stopping attacking.


    " Aiyo, I was naturally talking about the beautiful pool outside. But thedy inside is no less of a beauty than the pool." Long Ming chuckled as he turned around.


    " s, You guys are talking like she isn''t beautiful. I can''t talk with you after hearing that. Talking about beauty with you is the same as ying pipa before boars."


    "Boars!"


    " You dare!"


    " Halt!"


    The woman finally spoke as the guards became stunned. The woman nodded, indicating to let Long Ming walk inside.


    Long Ming gently fanned himself as he walked inside. He stood before the woman as he cupped his fist. " Thank you, Madame. Thanks to your generosity, I might be able toplete my work."


    " Hmm."


    Thedy nodded as she returned her gaze to the scene outside. Long Ming''s eyes narrowed, but he also didn''t talk to her. He found a seat and ordered to bring two cups of Rippling Sea Tea.


    '' Fuck, One cup of tea is 30,000 Mid grade spirit stones? Why don''t these guys rob a bank?'' Long Ming gracefully epted the two cups of tea while cursing in his heart.


    Soon, he took out a paper and a jade brush and set it in front of him. After that, He took out an additional cup and filled it with Song of Summer and Winter wine.


    Thedy, who was enjoying the scenery along with her tea, felt intrigued as she finally looked at Long Ming. It wasn''t like she wasn''t observing him, but this subtle action truly surprised her.


    Tea and wine, on one table? Why?


    However, Long Ming didn''t pay any attention to her. He gently dipped his jade brush in one of the teacups and used it as ink to start painting.


    Thedy became stunned when she looked at Long Ming. With his Deste Immortal Aura, Long Ming looked like a white lotus amidst the mud.


    " Greetings, Miss An, I am Long Ming." Long Ming spoke with a graceful smile.


    14:02


    An Lu''an looked at him as she asked him to sit along with her.


    He took a sip from the other cup while he dipped and painted using the tea. Soon, the ethereal painting came into sight as Long Ming finished both cups of tea.


    However, thedy was again surprised as Long Ming gently took the wine cup and sshed it on the painting.


    " Yo-You! The painting was already good. Why did you ssh wine on it?" Thedy couldn''t help but stand up and shout. However, Long Ming didn''t nce at her as he kept staring at the painting.


    Thedy became stunned when she smelled the rich fragrance of the wine. Long Ming gently guided the gliding drops of wine on the painting with his jade brush as the painting becameplete.


    " Well, The Rippling Sea Tea is a type of tea that is grown on the shores of Westerward Bay. It contains the rich energy of the Water attribute and a trace of Metal qi. The taste also contains the light salty vor that tingles the taste bud."


    " The tea is serene and gives a vast impression like the sea. Therefore, I used it to create a scenery." Long Ming smiled as he faced thedy.


    " Then, What about the wine?"


    Thedy asked with a curious voice."


    " The wine is dreamy and intoxicating, like the beauty before me."


    Thedy became startled as she nced at the painting again.


    Before the wine, it was the exact scenery outside of the Autumn Pool Pavilion. A small pool of clear, tranquil water with a gently autumn scenery. However, after the ssh of wine, She could see a hazy outline of a graceful woman, ncing at the scenery from the side.


    It was none other than herself!


    " Such an exquisite painting. I don''t think young noble isn''t someone renowned." Thedy spoke with a gentle smile.


    " I am not famous at all." Long Ming shook his head as he closed his paper pan. " Just a schr roaming across thend."


    " I am An Lu''an."


    " Greetings, Miss An, I am Long Ming." Long Ming spoke with a graceful smile.


    An Lu''an looked at him as she asked him to sit along with her.


    " I guess you sessfully piqued my attention, Young Noble Long. What do you wish from me?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Well, I hope you like politics and do not feel bored due to theck of courting death and mad ughter.

 Chapter 62 An Odd Deal

    62 An Odd Deal


    When Long Ming gathered the intel about An Lu''an, he could guess one thing. She wasn''t an ordinarydy at all.


    Especially, After seeing her with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming could see she already reached the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. However, looking at her demeanor, Long Ming understood that she was a deep schemer.


    Therefore, To attract her attention, Long Ming didn''t initiate the conversation first. However, he did something that made An Lu''ane forward and speak first.


    Long Ming smiled when he heard An Lu''an''s question. " What I wish? How can I ask something from you, Miss An?"


    An Lu''an shook her head. " If you didn''t wish to talk with me, you wouldn''t have appeared here, much less than draw this portrait."


    An Lu''an pped as the waiter served two more cups of tea. Long Ming gently took a sip as he nced at the scenery before him.


    " Well, I am waiting for Young Noble Long''s question." An Lu''an gave a chuckle as she waited for Long Ming''s words.


    However, Long Ming only sipped the tea and got up. " Well, Even though I wish to talk about many things, I don''t think this is the proper time."


    "Besides, I won''t wish Miss An to ruin the favorable impression toward me."


    " Is that so?" An Lu''an raised her brows. " I am curious regarding your identity, Young Noble Long."


    Long Ming looked at An Lu''an as he spoke. " What do you think about the Deep Sea Iron and Four Seasons Valley?"


    An Lu''an looked at Long Ming as she was truly surprised. " Are you perhaps an envoy sent by Four Seasons Valley? My, I never thought Four Seasons Valley will send a male. And a handsome one on top of that."


    " I am ttered." Long Ming chuckled.


    " However, I guess you already know the answer." An Lu''an spoke with a calm voice. " Lan Family got better offers from other ces. And therefore, I don''t think we can spare much Deep Sea Iron to Four Seasons Valley at all."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming looked at her. " Four Seasons Valley has been the benefactor of ck Pearl City and the Lan Family. Yet, in the moment of need, Lan Family is destroying the rtionship with Four Seasons Valley?"


    An Lu''an smiled gently. " So, What if they did? I mean, even if we do that, will Four Seasons Valley do anything to us? Young Noble Long, Don''t you think the Four Seasons Valley is like a paper tiger now?"


    " Paper tiger? I don''t think you should call an Imperial Linege with three Heavenly Emperors a paper tiger, Miss An. Who knows? This paper tiger might be actually an ancient white tiger?"


    An Lu''an''s eyebrows wrinkled lightly as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming''s expression was calm as he was enjoying the tea. No matter how much An Lu''an tried, she couldn''tprehend his intention.


    " Even if you are right, the Lan Family is already too powerful. In a matter of time, the entire ck Pearl City wille under the Lan Family. At that moment, even bigger sects will need to be cautious of us." An Lu''an reminded Long Ming.


    " Your Four Seasons Valley could have done something if they had the blood contract. However, since the contract is no more, the Lan Family is free to pick the sides."


    The blood contract was a contract that the Lan Family ancestors made with the ancestors of Four Seasons Valley, giving their eternal loyalty to Four Seasons Valley.


    However, during the cmity in Four Seasons Sect, the Lan Family was able to reim the contract somehow and destroyed it. Therefore, the gold mine like ck Pearl City got stolen from Four Seasons Valley.


    Long Ming chuckled as he got up. " Well, That''s an interesting way to put, Miss An. But, What if the sect regained the blood contract?"


    An Lu''an''s eyebrows jumped as she looked at Long Ming. " That''s impossible. The blood contract was destroyed long ago."


    " Copies, Ah¡­ Copies exist." Long Ming grinned. " However, even without using the blood contract, we have many ways to let the Lan Family fall on their knees."


    " Is that so?" An Lu''an pursed her lips. " And, you are telling all that to me? Aren''t you afraid, I might arrest you right now?"


    " I am not." Long Ming walked toward An Lu''an as he smiled. There was a strange cunningness and pride hidden behind his smile.


    " Because I am sure that Miss An wouldn''t say a thing at all. On the contrary, you might even stay on the sidelines, enjoying the fall of Lan Family." He gently whispered.


    An Lu''an raised her brows as she stared at Long Ming silently. " And, What made you think like that?"


    " Intuition." Long Ming ced the painting before her as he turned around. " If you wish to do a true transaction with me, we can meet here tomorrow once again. However, I hope you will remain neutral when I will visit Lan Family Manor."


    An Lu''an stared at Long Ming as he gracefully turned around and left. She looked at the painting as she noticed a few lines in the corner, written in beautiful calligraphy.


    '' No matter how much it weighed in gold, will a caged bird taste the feeling of the sky?''


    The letters seemed to have a mysterious charm, attracting An Lu''an''s attention toward it. No matter how much she tried, she couldn''t get rid of those thoughts.


    '' Haah, An opportunity, you say¡­'' She rubbed her temples as she sighed. She finished her tea as she got up and left the pavilion.


    Of course, she didn''t hesitate to take the painting made by Long Ming with her.


    When the evening fell, Ming Yuexin and Long Ming walked toward the Lan Family Manor. It was too big to be called a manor as it looked like a small pce.


    " Halt! Who are you?"


    Ming Yuexin showed her the tokens. " We are the Core Disciples of Four Seasons Valley. We wish to meet patriarch Lan."


    " Oh, Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Well, We don''t know about your arrival. Unless patriarch Lan gives order we can''t let you in."


    Ming Yuexin frowned. " What do you mean by that? Why don''t you go and inform Patriarch Lan?"


    The guard grinned. " I am sure Patriarch is informed by now. But till he gives the order, we can''t let you in."


    Long Ming looked at the face of the two guards as he sighed. '' These bastards thinking they can humiliate us, huh?''


    14:03


    Long Ming was still wearing the conical hat that was hiding his face. " Hey, I don''t understand¡­ Since when have some dogs started to bark at the core disciples of Four Seasons Valley? You think your Lan Family is some sort of bigshot?"


    Long Ming walked forward as he gripped his sword hilt tightly. His voice was cold as a powerful aura fell on the two guards. Long Ming secretly used his sword intent along with his aura as he tried to intimidate them.


    The guards shivered when they felt the aura of Long Ming. It was as if their body was being sliced by an invisible sharp sword, filled with killing intent. They felt if they made one wrong move, their head might roll down.


    " Inform patriarch Lan right now, else¡­ I guess we need to discipline the guards ourselves." Long Ming''s tone was cold. " Of course, I doubt Patriarch Lan will say much if a few guards lost their limbs."


    " I¡­"


    " Right away, Young Master."


    The guards shivered as they hurriedly went inside. After a while, the door got opened and they got invited inside.


    " Sister Ming, You are sure powerful, but you don''t need to hide it till the point other people underestimate you." Long Ming whispered. Ming Yuexin nced at Long Ming as she sighed.


    " I understand. I should act tougher." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    " Have remembered the script I gave you?"


    " Yes."


    Soon, they entered in a courtyard where a Middle aged man sat on a luxurious chair.


    " Disciple Long Ming and Ming Yuexin of Four Seasons Valley greets Patriarch Lan Xiao."


    " En, It''s a pleasure to meet you. Four Season Valley is, after all, Our benefactor." Lan Xiao spoke with a mild smile. " Speak, Why did youe here?"


    " Patriarch Lan, In thest two years, not only has the Lan Family increased the price of Deep Sea Iron by three folds, you are not even giving us enough supplies. May I know the reasons?"


    Lan Xiao stroked his beard as he looked at Ming Yuexin. " Is that so? Unfortunately, the mining business has been running low. Our family couldn''t mine enough Deep Sea Iron by ourselves. How can we¡­"


    Ming Yuexin took a deep breath as she nced at Lan Xiao. " Before you say that, I would like to add how much Deep Sea Iron and Oceanide Steel the Imperial Family, The Blissful Heaven Temple, and Six Sword Pavilion got."


    " Well, About that¡­" Patriarch Lan Xiao chuckled as he looked at Ming Yuexin. " You guys came from far. How about I arrange some food and drinks for you. You must be tired."


    Ming Yuexin looked at Patriarch Lan Xiao as she sighed. " Well, Seeing Patriarch Lan''s attitude, I guess you already decided, right? You have decided the nullify the contract."


    " Hehe, How can I?" Patriarch Lan Xiao grinned as he looked at Ming Yuexin. " After all, Four Seasons Valley and our¡­"


    " Patriarch Lan, You should better drop the act and not waster our time." Ming Yuexin spoke. " I hope Patriarch Lan remembers the consequences of breaking the contract. Would you like the Four Season Valley to move its force against Lan Family."


    Lan Xiao''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ming Yuexin. " I doubt Four Season Valley is the same sect as thousand years ago. Even if you mobilize the force, do you think you can remain unscathed?"


    Suddenly, Ming Yuexin smiled. " Yes, It might be true that our sect''s power lessened throughout the years. Although I don''t know about our sect, I don''t think Lan Family would remain intact if Four Season Valley uses something from their Imperial Vault."


    Lan Xiao''s face stiffed in an instant when he heard the word '' Imperial Vault.'' It was the ce where sects keep the legacy weapons of their ancestors. And, Since Four Seasons Valley is an Imperial Linege there might be more than one Imperial Weapons there.


    " So, Four Seasons Valley gives you two conditions. Either, breach the contract and prepare for our sect''s wrath. The second condition, give us these three mines."


    When Patriarch Lan saw the mines when he read the contract given by Ming Yuexin. He was shocked. " Are you sure you want these mines?"


    " Yes, If you agree, We will allow you to remove the contract between Lan family and Four Seasons Valley."


    Patriarch Lan felt into deep thought as he was in dilemma.


    These three mines¡­Why would they pick them?


    Because out of three, two of them barely had any Deep Sea Iron while the third have an almost average amount of ore.


    Why would they pick them after all?

 Chapter 63 A Golden Opportunity? Or a Trap?

    63 A Golden Opportunity? Or a Trap?


    The mines around the ck Pearl City were just like small inds in Westward Bay. Those inds were used to mine Deep Sea Iron and Ocenide Steel.


    The ind that contains those three mines was a bit far from ck Pear City, infested with rough coral beaches.


    Now, one might think why would rough coral beaches be a problem for flying boats? It''s because they don''t use flying boats to transport ores. Because a flying boat consumes too many spirit stones at once.


    Besides, the ind Ming Yuexin spoke doesn''t even produce that many ores. So, it''s simply investing money on a losing bet.


    " The Coral Ind, You want it?"


    " Yes."


    Lan Xiao pondered as he looked at Long Ming who was standing behind Ming Yuexin. Hepletely covered his facial expression as he stood like the guard of Ming Yuexin. He also used his Shadow Dragon Breathing method to conceal his aura, to not make Lan Xiao wary. Lan Xiao didn''t give him much attention as he looked at Ming Yuexin.


    " Very well, After I give that ind to you, Lan Family won''t pay the remuneration for breaking the contract."


    " Very well." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    " The second statement, The contract will activate tomorrow. However, you still need to send a letter to the main sect."


    " Haha, Since you have agreed, I guess the main sect should have the same intentions." Lan Xiaoughed. After all, he won''t believe that the disciples of Four Seasons Valley would make such a crucial decision by themselves.


    He dropped his blood on the contract as it shone with a faint light. Lan Xiao made a copy of it while Ming Yuexin took the original with her.


    " Since Miss Ming came here, you should enjoy the hospitality of the Lan Family."


    " No, thanks. I am tired and I need to go back."


    Ming Yuexin spoke as she turned around and left. Long Ming also left with her. Long Ming walked behind Ming Yuexin as he looked around. Suddenly he saw An Lu''an from a distance as he winked at her.


    An Lu''an was expressionless, as she was deep into her thoughts.


    After both of them left, Lan Xiao''s smile vanished as he snapped his fingers.


    " Yes, Patriarch Lan."


    " Keep an eye on them."


    " As you wish."


    .


    As they reached the Sea Breeze Inn, Ming Yuexin turned around and pinned Long Ming against the wall.


    " Do you understand what we are doing right now? We took such a big decision yet we didn''t inform any of the sect elders!"


    " What will happen if we lose the remaining portions of Deep Sea Iron?!"


    Ming Yuexin''s voice was cold as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming could feel boundless pressure from her as if his heart was being pierced by a sharp sword.


    " Calm down, Sister Ming, You must listen to me first."


    Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming as she let him go. Long Ming''s expression didn''t flinch as he looked at Ming Yuexin. " Do you think the meager amount of Deep Sea Iron they are selling us at such a high price is amount to something? Even if we lose that, it might be better for our sect!"


    " However, If my n seeds¡­What should I say?" Long Ming grinned. " Maybe¡­We might take over the ck Pearl City?"


    " Wh-What? What are you saying?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at her. " How many servant disciples of Four Seasons Valley here?"


    " Probably around one hundred?"


    " Gather them and tell them we are going to mine tomorrow." Long Ming chuckled.


    " Besides, What do you think about a legend? The ancestors of Four Seasons Valley left a treasure trove in ck Pearl City for future generations?"


    Ming Yuexin was stunned again. " Well, It''s not like there aren''t any. But after searching all possible locations, none seemed to have been found. So, people only took it as a rumor."


    " Ah, This makes things even easier." Long Ming chuckled. Suddenly, he waved his hands as a globe of metal appeared.


    " Here, Sister Ming. Please get on the work."


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Ming Yuexin. " Sister Ming, I know it''s hard to believe my ns. However, I hope you can trust me."


    " For now, I have a small task for you." Long Ming chuckled as he threw a chunk of metal at her.


    Ming Yuexin held the metal ore, but her eyes widened in shock when she realized what it was.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Two dayster, a man hurried to the Lan Family manor.


    " Patriarch Lan! This is an urgent matter!"


    " Hmm? What happened?" Lan Xiao was sitting in the elder hall as the man bowed before him.


    " Patriarch, Look what I found from a merchant¡­" He took out a small chunk of metal and showed it to Lan Xiao. " This is Azure Mirthil Ore."


    " What?! Azure Mirthil?!" Everyone there became shocked. Even Lan Xiao almost lept from his seat.


    An elder hurried as he checked the metal. " Patriarch, This is¡­really Azure Mirthil ore."


    14:04


    An elder hurried as he checked the metal. " Patriarch, This is¡­really Azure Mirthil ore."


    " Damn it, recently, I heard 1KG of Azure Mirthil almost got sold at 100 Million mid grade spirit stones."


    " Could it be? An Azure Mirthil Mine got discovered?"


    Lan Xiao thought of something as his expression changed. " Hurry up and check if this thing came from Four Seasons Valley. They recently took the Coral Ind¡­Could it be¡­"


    Hours passed as they returned with the mined debris of Coral Ind which was excavated by Four Seasons Valley. After hours of refinement, they did get very fine chunks of Azure Mirthil.


    " Damn it! How dare they swindle us! They took our golden mines right in front of our eyes."


    " Fuck!"


    Lan Xiao trembled in rage when he heard that news. '' No wonder they picked Coral Ind. But we already turned inside out of that ind. But why we never got the Azure Mirthil Mine?"


    ''Could it be a trap? No, Azure Mirthil is too precious to be wasted like that.'' Lan Xiao thought inwardly.


    '' I must receive all the information regarding Four Seasons Valley''s mining right now!" He gave orders. " Also, Suppress this matter at all costs. No one must know about this!"


    Another day passed.


    " Patriarch, This is a weird news but¡­Four Seasons Valley isn''t using its mined ores at all. It was as if, they are trying to find something in mines, but not the ores."


    Patriarch Lan was stupefied when he heard the news. Not taking the ore? Trying to find something? What the hell are they trying to do?


    " However, I have purchased all their excavated materials using one million mid grade stones. As a result, we wielded 100 grams of Azure Mirthil."


    " So, You telling they don''t know that the mine contains Azure Mirthil?" Lan Xiao narrowed his eyes. The informer shook his head. " Apparently, they trying to find a treasure trove left behind by their ancestors. However, they were simply unsessful."


    Hunting for treasure should take less time than mining the ores. Moreover, Azure Mirthil is notoriously hard to extract and convert into pure ores. There was a good chance that Four Seasons Valley might have missed this fact.


    '' Calcting the proportion of debris and refined ores, the Azure Mirthil ore vein should be quite a big vein. Also, there is no way Four Season Valley will squander such resources.'' Lan Xiao thought inwardly. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn''t put his hands on it.


    But after refining a few batches, The yield of Azure Mirthil increased to 500 grams. And after that, Lan Xiao could no longer sit still.


    " Call Ming Yuexin right now. I wish to speak with her right now!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Young Master Long, You are surely ying very hard." An Lu''an gently sipped the tea as she looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming sat before her as he was painting again. The atmosphere was serene in the Autumn Pool Pavilion.


    " Rather than ying hard, I am trying to kill the chicken with a borrowed knife."


    " Is that so?" An Lu''an''s chin rested on her fist as she nced at Long Ming. It has been three days and they have been meeting regrly.


    " Five Early stages Harmonization Realm Elders, Ten Primordial Spirit Realm Fighters, and more than two dozen of Golden Core Realm soldiers. Do you think you can handle them all alone without the main sect''s support?"


    " Not in a fair fight, Of course." Long Ming grinned. " Although I have a good chance of winning, It will increase if you support me, Miss An."


    "And in return, I would give you something you would like." Long Ming smiled.


    " Freedom from this shitty married life and the title of concubine without suffering a single bit."


    An Lu''an nced at Long Ming as a light smile appeared.


    " I am listening."


    " Two things. I wish you to only do two things." Long Ming paused his painting as he looked at An Lu''an. " At the appropriate time, Show this tattered scroll to Patriarch Lan. And the second thing, Just tell me before they make any big moves."


    " Betraying my family, Ah."


    " Betrayal?" Long Mingughed lightly. " I think you should rephrase it as Saving Lan Family in a hard way."


    The sole reason Four Seasons Valley couldn''t take direct action against Lan Family is that- First, They don''t have a solid reason to attack an aristocratic family who controls such a big city.


    Second, The moment they will attack, the hostile forces will jump in and surround Four Seasons Valley, putting thest straw that will break the camel''s back.


    Therefore, they got forced to negotiate, which will lessen the casualty. But of course, Long Ming had other ns.


    " Very well, I will think about your proposal." An Lu''an merely smiled.


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at An Lu''an. " I wonder if you like my painting? Hopefully, It''s not too eye pricking."


    " If this painting is bad, then the other painter might just ssh colors on their canvas." An Lu''an giggled. " However, Why do you always make my figure so abstract? Why don''t you draw my portraitpletely?"


    " It''s because I usually don''t draw women''s figures. Or should I say, I can''t?"


    " Why? I would like to hear more about such a peculiar w."


    " Taste." Long Ming chuckled. "As you can only get intoxicated after drinking the best wine, I can only draw a woman''s figure only after I thoroughly feel it."


    An Lu''an raised her eyebrows as she looked at Long Ming with a stunned expression. She understood what Long Ming meant. Long Ming stood silently as he looked at her with an ambiguous expression.


    He poured a cup of wine and passed it to An Lu''an.


    But unknown to her, He dropped a drop of his blood in it.

 Chapter 64 Setting the Things in Motion

    64 Setting the Things in Motion


    When An Lu''an took a sip of the wine, she was surprised. " What a strange vor. One moment, I feel hot while the other moment, I feel numbing cold. However, the taste is simply¡­I guess this is one of the best wines I ever had."


    " Miss An, May I ask you a private question?"


    " Hm?"


    " Why did you marry Lan Xiao?" Long Ming asked. " It''s not like you love him or something. And I can feel that you are simply unsatisfied with him."


    Long Ming wasn''t speaking BS. He gathered all sorts of intel about An Lu''an from the past few days. Along with influencing her with his speech for the past few days, he also tried to drive a wedge in her mind.


    His Deste Immortal Aura and his drop of blood filled with Incubus''s Bloodline and Fragrant Yin Qi were also doing their utmost to control An Lu''an.


    " Well, You are saying like political marriages aren''tmon at all."


    Long Ming chuckled as he shook his head. " It is not like that. The thing is, how did ady like you trapped in it? You are beautiful, smart and you can control a force on your own."


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt the aura around An Lu''an dropped as she lowered her head. " Haah, When you are so talented that you are a candidate to be the next patriarch but then, your family is a conservative and your brother is a real opportunistic asshole, what do you think will happen?"


    Long Ming gave a hollowugh when he heard that, " I guess I don''t need boration any longer. However, I still hope you consider my proposal. In this way, you can easily crush the Lan Family, control it, and escape from Lan Xiao without facing any consequences."


    An Lu''an didn''t say anything but she sighed lightly. Long Ming turned around andughed lightly.


    " I shall be waiting for you, Miss An. I would really like to make a portrait of you¡­the true you."


    " And, I hope you like that gift."


    An Lu''an became stunned when she saw there was a ne on the table. The gems on it sparkled with a dreamy pink attracting her toward it.


    '' What a strange person.''


    She chuckled and wore the ne.


    " Drawing my portrait, huh¡­"


    An Lu''an nibbled her lips in a seductive way as she rubbed the ne on her neck.


    .


    " That''s quite a fast call, Patriarch. I didn''t think we gonna meet so soon again."


    Lan Xiao''s expression twitched when he saw Ming Yuexin drinking tea before him.


    " So, Niece Ming, About the Coral Ind¡­"


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes narrowed. " I guess you are afraid we are trying to mine there. But in fact, we found what we are looking for."


    " Oho, Is that so?"


    " A relic from our ancestors. Thankfully, We managed to retrieve it before anyone else."


    Lan Xiao''s expression twitched when he heard Ming Yuexin. '' Fuck, We allowed a treasure to escape under our nose. But¡­It looks like, she didn''t know about the Azure Mirthil mine.''


    " Well, Since that''s the case, How about you give that ind to us? We will pay the proper price for it."


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes narrowed. " Patriarch Lan, I think you are misunderstanding something. I guess you forgot the new contract."


    Lan Xiao''s face turned ugly when Ming Yuexin spoke that. " You mean, We need to give up the Golden Sand Ind and Ocean Cave Ind?"


    Those two inds produce ores more than the remaining three inds all together. Losing them would be equivalent to giving a hard blow on Lan Family''s finance.


    " Niece Ming, Since you already got the treasure, I don''t think that ind is any worth of your use."


    " You are asking to give up on our ancestor''s sacred ce? That''s impossible." MingYuexin refused. " Beside, There is a small spirit spring inside it. I guess it worth something. We might even build a shrine."


    " Yes, I can understand that. But, Niece Ming, I suddenly remembered that the Coral Ind was good to make a small port. So, I wonder if you can sell it back to us." Lan Xiao tried to persuade her. " We will give you 400 Million Mid grade Spirit Stones."


    Ming Yuexin sipped the tea as she shook her head. " Impossible, The Coral Ind is a sacred ce for us. To sell you like this¡­ It''s upto the decision of elders."


    " Uh, But still¡­"


    " However, If you give us the ownership of all Deep Sea Iron Mines and Ocenide Steel for one week, We might consider it."


    " What? Ownership of all mines for one week?" Lan Xiao was shocked. " That''s¡­"


    " What? Cat got your tongue? To get our ancestor''s resting ce, you can''t even give us some momentary profits? How naive." Ming Yuexin got up as she turned to leave.


    " Losing the profit for seven days for gaining our sacred ind permanently, I don''t think that''s a bad deal." She murmured. But she was audible enough to make Lan Xiao hear that.


    As they were talking, a servant rushed and whispered something to Lan Xiao. Lan Xiao looked at the servant as he asked for confirmation. " Alright, I will do it."


    Suddenly, Ming Yuexin turned around and took out a photographic jade. " Fine, Then make a Heart Oath."


    " Heart Oath? Wouldn''t that be¡­"


    " Do I need to repeat myself?"


    " Fine."


    Lan Xiao took the paper from Ming Yuexin and read the content. Heart Oath was something much more powerful than blood contract. If the cultivator goes against it, they will face a heart demon that will consume them, resulting in them being cripple or dead.


    '' Fuck, There is no loophole at all.'' Lan Xiao cursed as she spoke. " I, Lan Xiao, Th Patriarch of the Lan Family makes a vow with my dao heart that I will giveplete control of our five exclusive mining ind to Four Seasons Valley for Seven Days. In the meantime, I will not sabotage their mining process in any direct or indirect method. If I break this oath, I will face the heart tribtion."


    A light blinked on the chest of Lan Xiao as it vanished. Ming Yuexin recorded everything as she nodded. " Very well, You are the master of the Coral Ind now."


    After Ming Yuexin left, Lan Xiao became agitated. " Are you sure what you saw?"


    " Yes, My lord. I personally went to the coral ind and saw therge dumps of ore sands. I also took or metallurgist with me and he said there was indeed Azure Mirthil in those heaps of ore sand."


    " Calcting the amount, we might get one kg of Azure Mirthil from those mined sands alone. I wonder how much of Azure Mirthil is inside the vein?"


    " Gather everyone! Send the biggest force to Coral Ind to guard it. Also, Hasten the mining process!"


    " As you say, Patriarch."


    .


    .


    Chen Geyi was the leader of the Three Feather Group. Recently, they have been suppressed by the Lan Family and Huo Family However, when they heard a Core Disciple of Four Seasons Valley to meet him, he agreed immediately.


    " I will keep the matter short. Four Seasons Valley is going to make a move and raze down the Lan Family." Long Ming spoke.


    Chen Geyi narrowed his eyes as he looked at Long Ming. " Really? I thought Four Seasons Valley long lost its fangs. Besides, if they wanted to make a move, why did they wait till now?"


    " Because We just found the oath tablet of the Lan Family along with some countermeasures." Long Ming gave a bright smile. " Don''t you think Four Season Valley will just show its strength and weakness in open?"


    " So, Since Four Seasons Valley will soon take over the ck Pearl City, What will you do? Will you wish to have the same fate as Lan Family or¡­You wish to have a piece of pie?"


    Chen Geyi''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Ming. Two people came closer as they looked at Long Ming with killing intent. However, Long Ming sat there with a smile on his face.


    '' This person is¡­Dangerous.'' The first thought came into Chen Geyi''s mind Not only he couldn''t assess the cultivation realm of Long Ming, but he could also even feel a faint pressure from his aura. It was like a man sitting before him connected with heaven and earth.


    '' Harmonization Realm? Nine Revolution of Soul Realm? At such a young age? Impossible! But still¡­ .


    .


    Such an opportunity, can I take it?''


    Chen Geyi breathed out a mouthful of turbid air as he waved his hands. The two guards dispersed. " What do you want?"


    " What will happen if the main force of the Lan Family is trapped in a ce and a group of powerful piratese and kill them?"


    Chen Geyi became stunned as a strange grin appeared on his face.


    " Go ahead, I am listening."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Long Ming grinned as he walked out. He looked at the letter in his hand that gave detailed information about the movement of the Lan Family''s force in Coral Ind.


    At the bottom, there was also a lipstick mark with fine sets of words.


    '' I shall be waiting for you to make my portrait.''


    Long Ming clutched the letter as his grin turned devilish. " Keke The stage has been set. Let the show begin."


    Long Ming gave a deviousugh as he blurred from his position.


    Meanwhile, The Lan Family Mobilized their entire force as they went to Coral Ind.


    " Sir, I think mine looks different. It''s like they made the tunnels even deeper."


    " Who cares! Just get the Azure Mirthil first!" An elder of Lan family shouted as they entered the mine. The deeper they walked, the more signs of mining they could see.


    " Huh? Look! They piled the ores there!"


    " Check is there is Azure Mirthil or not!"


    " Indeed! This is Azure Mirthil!"


    " Everyone! Get to work! We need to mine from right now!"


    Currently, Other than miners, Ten Golden Core, Five Primordial Spirit Realm, and Two Harmonization Realm cultivators are deep in the mine.


    " Huh? What are these ck boxes?"


    One of them noticed something as he walked toward it.


    But suddenly, it exploded like a fire cracker.


    In the next moment, with a loud boom, Water from Westward Bay crashed inside the mine as the entrance copsed.

 Chapter 65 Bloody Campers!

    65 Bloody Campers!


    The reason why flying boats are used to carry ores on the Westward Bay is because of the chaotic True Qi. The ordinary spatial rings can''t bear the burden of tons of mineral ores.


    As for Westward Bay, the water is dense and filled with chaotic True Qi. The True Qi is hard to absorb on the Westward Bay unless it is purified by a higher rank cultivator or a Qi Refining Formation.


    Even cultivators of the Harmonization Realm will face difficulties in absorbing qi from Westward Bay directly.


    Now, a good question. What will happen if the cultivators get buried thousands of meters underground in a mine that requires True Qi to get mined?


    For low level cultivators, they will die like ordinary people under suffocation. Only those with higher cultivation realms or Earth attribute techniques can escape from this cmity.


    But then, What will happen if their reaction time gets slowed or they get paralyzed?


    A tiger might be a fierce beast, but with enough preparation, even a single trap can kill it.


    And the trap that Lan Family fell into was meticulously prepared by Long Ming.


    Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming''s smiling face as he snapped his fingers. " What happened?"


    " The show has already begun."


    Long Ming chuckled as everything started with the Sky Crackling Bead.


    " So, You knew that our ns going to leak all along?"


    " Leak? Well, I was the one who leaked everything." Long Ming chuckled.


    When they first started to mine in Coral Ind, Long Ming didn''t have an ounce of trust in the servant disciples. With a little bribe, most of them could be bought in easily.


    Therefore, Long Ming, Ming Yuexin, and some other trusted members did a ster act. They mined the caves and tried to ''find'' the ''relics'' left behind by the ancestors of Four Seasons Valley. After all, ck Pearl City was founded by them.


    And then, they also magically didn''t care about the excavated ores since they knew Coral Ind was practically empty. All of their focus was finding the artifact.


    And coincidentally, some disciple tried to smuggle the ores out and then realized that it was Azure Mirthil! And coincidentally, they began to smuggle the ore sands from Coral Ind to Lan Family to increase their trust and greed.


    The Lan Family also bribed the servant disciples of Four Seasons Valley and kept all the ''information'' regarding the mining, the relics, and the intentions of Ming Yuexin. And since it matched with their own sources, they didn''t suspect it at all.


    " I already sent the letter a few days ago. The reinforcement shall arrive tomorrow." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    " However, they won''t act if the situation won''t go ording to your n."


    " Very well, We should enjoy tonight." Long Ming poured a ss of wine and started to drink.


    Meanwhile, The troops of Lan Family were having a tough time.


    " Fuck! They set up explosives here!"


    " Chief! The entrance! The entrance has been blocked!"


    The chief leading the miners and the guards were stunned as his expression turned ugly. " Retreat! This is a tra-


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The water of Westward Bay crashed into the mining tunnels like a flood it swept away everyone. However, before they could stabilize themselves, a weird green smoke exploded in the tunnel,l and the gas spread around.


    The gas filled the air and it also mixed with the gushing water, affecting everyone in the range.


    " This! Hurry up and block your breathing! This is poison!"


    However, it was already toote. Most of them inhaled the smoke as they felt dizzying. Also, they felt like their True Qi flow got turbid as they got mmed into the rocky walls due to the flow of sea water.


    The mine walls also started to copse from the above as the tunnels were starting to bury the cultivator alive.


    " Fuck! Everyone! Charge forward! Othereise we are all going to die here!"


    The Harmonization Realm cultivators were the one who used their power to destroy the rocks. The Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators also charged behind them as they assisted with all their power.


    However, most of the True Core Formation realm cultivators already fainted from the water and teh medicinal gas filling inside the mine. Even the Primordial Spirt Unification realm cultivators felt their body numbing as the unblocked the entrance.


    " Haha! Entrance is cleared! Everyone, Charge out!"


    The Harmonization realm cultivator used his powers as he sted out the rocks. However, the moment he charged out, a ck ray of light shed as itnded on his chest.


    *BOOOM*


    " COUGH!"


    The Harmonization Realm cultivator didn''t expected such a surprise attack the moment he came out. He sted backwards as he coughed a mouthful of blood. That one attack gave him grave injuries.


    " Haha! Brothers! Look at these Lan Family bastards! It''s time to get revenge!"


    " Kill them! Revenge for our fallen brothers!"


    " Pirates?! Why are they here? What about the forces outside the mine?"


    They realized the troops stayed on teh surface waspletely killed by the pirates.


    " Three Feather Group, Aren''t you afraid of our family''s wrath?"


    " Three Feather Group? We are only a bunch of pirates. And we are here to loot!" The pirateughed coldly as he raised his saber.


    " Everyone! Kill those bastards!"


    The pirates were already prepared in everything. Before the Lan Family could properly organize themselves, the pirates unleashed their deadly attacks.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    " Blue Wave sh!"


    " Iron Shatter Fist!"


    The techniques exploded in the air as they started to fight violently. Swords and sabers shed as the pirates used all their might to kill Lan Family''s troops.


    " We need to take care of those two Harmonization Realm cultivators first. Activate the battle formation!"


    *BOOM BOOM*


    The Elder of Lan Family raised his sword as countless sword lights fell on the pirates. However,  Suddenly, four people surrounded him as they raised their swords.


    " Blood Killing Formation!"


    Four beams of crimson light shed as they shot at the elder. The elder''s body shone as he tried to defend himself. However, suddenly, he coughed a mouthful of blood as he saw a dagger piercing her back. A fifth person made a sneak attack, stabbing his chest.


    " Kheukk! You bastard!"


    The aura of Harmonization Realm elder exploded as the heaven and earth energy rolled. An orb of light manifested above him as it started to scatter golden darts of light like arrows.


    " Block it! Blood Killing Formation! Blood Sea Barrier!"


    The pirates changed their formation as they created a blood colored barrier around them. The golden darts of light rained on the barrier as the Elder attacked them desperately.


    The Lan Family''s True Core Formation realm cultivators were almost wiped out. Only the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivators and Elders fought against the pirates.


    " Fuck! They knew our ns all along. Which fucking bastard betrayed us?" A guard of Lan Family shouted as he fought against the pirates.


    The pirates were cunning with various vicious tricks in their sleeves. An elder gasped for air as he took out a jade talisman and crush it.


    " I have already sent an emergency signal. The reinforcement wille shortly."


    " Kekeke, You think we didn''t know about that?" The pirate leader cackled as he showed a blood colored sphere in his hand. " This treasure will block all sorts of signaling talismans in this radius."


    The elder of Lan family became started as he looked at his hand. The jade talisman was simply unresponsive.


    " Hmph, Vile bastards! You think we can''t deal with you?" One of the elders shouted as he took out a stack of talismans. The talismans swirled around him as his aura erupted.


    " ughter Wind Talisman Formation!"


    *BANG BANG BANG!*


    There was only a single Harmonization Realm cultivator on the pirate''s side while they were only using tricks to keep up against Lan Family. Due to that, the battle became more lengthy and bloody.


    .


    .


    .


    " What? There is no news?"


    Lan Xiao raised his brows as he looked at the servant before him.


    "Patriarch, Thest report we got was that they found the mines sessfully. However, after that, no shipment of ore came till now. Should we send a small team to investigate?"


    " Eh? Sure, It won''t harm much, I guess." Lan Xiao nodded. And thus, a small squad consisting five True Core Formation and two Primordial Spirit Realm along with a bunch of Violet Pce Expansion realm culitvators, started their journey to the Coral Ind.


    As Ming Yuexing and Long Ming were sitting in Sea Breeze Inn, a maid came and served tea to them.


    " Huh? Did you order tea for us?" Ming Yuexin asked. Long Ming saw a small handkerchief under the tray as he unfolded it.


    " Well, They are sending another small elite squad to Coral Ind. And, I think we can eliminate them with an ambush." Long Ming grinned after he read the secret letter. " So, What do you say, Sister Ming? Shall we chip some more of their strength?"


    Ming Yuexin chuckled as she held her sword. " Why not?"


    .


    .


    .


    " Huh? Senior Brother, Look at that!"


    " Halt! Who is there!"


    The elite squad of the Lan Family stopped in the middle of the forest when they saw a person hurriedly digging something. Many of them felt something was amiss as theynded near him.


    " Wahhh! I¡­ I didn''t find any treasure! There is nothing here!"


    A man wearing a conical mask hurriedly spoke before covering his mouth. The disciples of the Lan Family became interested when they heard that.


    " Treasure?"


    " Look! Senior brother! There is a faint lighting from that pit!"


    " Mm, Such a magnificent radiance, it must be a powerful treasure."


    The two Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivators became greedy as they walked to the pit, pushing that man aside.


    " What is it?"


    " Nothing. Just dug a grave for you guys." The man replied.


    " Huh?!"


    Before they could react, they felt the air around them turning warm.


    " Scorching Summer Sword Art! Burning Sun sh!"


    Ming Yuexin appeared before them as she drew out her sword. Like a sh of sunlight, her sword left a trail of mes as she beheaded one of them.


    " Let the ughter begin!"

 Chapter 66 Ming Yuexins Heart is Racing

    66 Ming Yuexin''s Heart is Racing


    " Senior Brother!"


    " Bastard!"


    The man wearing the conical hat was none other than Long Ming, who already retreated dozens of meters. With a snap of his fingers, he summoned the Illusiory Lightning Bow and took out the Explosive Arrows from his inventory.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as the bow crackled with purple lightning.


    " Intent of Bow and Arrow¡­ shing Shots!"


    " SWISH SWISH SWISH*


    His Fragrant Yin Qi charged the arrow as Long Ming rapidly shot the arrows toward the True Core Formation Realm cultivators. Lightning firing bullets from a gun, Long Ming shot three arrows at once.


    The arrow blended in the veil of the night as they pierced through the bodies of the True Core Formation realm guards.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The arrows exploded with tremendous might and they got seriously injured.


    However, Long Ming only wished to immobilize them and not kill them. Moreover, when Ming Yuexin attacked, everyone already raised their guard.


    *Fuck! Eat the healing pills and fight back!"


    " Tch!"


    Long Ming snorted as he jumped back further and knocked his arrows. The True Core Formation realm cultivators were rather tough. After eating the healing pills their injuries started to recover.


    " Well, Sister Ming, I am sure you can handle most of them alone."


    Ming Yuexin heard Long Ming as she waspletely focused on fighting the second Primordial Spirit Realm guard. Her sword danced as mes erupted from her body."


    " Wave Parting Palm!"


    " Brightsky Edge!"


    A sr halo appeared behind Ming Yuexin as a giant sword made of light appeared in the sky. With a swift motion, the sword descended.


    *BOOOM*


    The cultivator of Lan family summoned a giant palm made of water as he tried to block that sword attack. Both of their Primordial Spirit Realm aura shed as they fought relentlessly.


    Everyone became startled as the impact made the ground quake. As everyone was stunned by the scene, Long Ming gave a thumbs up to Ming Yuexin as he hid in the forest and activated the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method. His breathing and aura were concealed as he merged into the darkness.


    '' After all, A sniper doesn''t need to fight head-on, right? I need to find a spot to snipe properly after all.'' Long Ming mumbled as he looked at the Violet Pce Expansion realm cultivators.


    '' Let''s get rid of them first."


    With the Intent of Bow and Arrow, Long Ming took a deep breath as he held five arrows at once.


    *SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH*


    One by one, he shot five Explosive Arrows as they pierced the ground around the Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators in circle.


    *BOOOM BOOOM*


    The arrows exploded as it was empowered with Scarlet Yang Qi. The Scarlet Yang Qi empowered the mes as they covered those cultivators.


    " AHHHH!"


    " ARGH!"


    The True Core Formation Realm guards were startled as they tried to save those Violet Pce Realm Cultivators. However, the arrows from Long Ming were keeping them in check.


    " Fuck! Cowardly Bastard!"


    " Gather around and get into the formation!"


    The Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators were lying on the ground as they were critically injured. The True Core Formation Realm guards surrounded them as their aura erupted.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming snorted as he saw the aura of the True Core Formation Realm guards making a dome around them as they blocked their arrows. Also, Long Ming realized that his Fragrant Yin Qi and Scarlet Yang Qi were depleting rapidly.


    " Brother! Just a bit more! After we defend this wave of attack, We will charge and kill those two!"


    " Indeed! Just a bit more!"


    The True Core Formation guards stood in defensive formation as they wait for Long Ming''s next wave of sneak attacks.


    " Haha! He must be trying to lower our guards!"


    " Don''t hesitate and maintain the formation!"


    " Yes! Yes!"


    But even as time passed, there wasn''t any attack from Long Ming at all. They waited and waited¡­


    And waited!


    " What happened? Did he ran out of arrows?"


    Someone asked in a suspicious tone.


    " Fuck! He tricked us!"


    " Let''s go and save the Senior Brother!"


    As Ming Yuexin and the cultivator of the Lan Family''s fighting reached their peak, An arrow shot toward the cultivator of the Lan Family.


    " Who dares tounch a sneak attack on me!"


    He raised his hand as a giant azure palm materialized out of thin air. With a swift motion, it crushed the arrow. But at that moment, his neck felt cold as he turned around his head.


    " Sr sh!"


    *CHIIIII*


    Ming Yuexin''s sword shone with bright sunlight, illuminating the darkness in the forest. The sword shed as she sliced the disciple into two, killing him in one go.


    " Sister Ming! Hurry up!"


    Long Ming shouted as Ming Yuexin nodded. Her gaze turned cold as she looked at the remaining disciples.


    " Abandon them and run!"


    " Retreat!"


    But it was toote. Ming Yuexin''s aura rose like a tidal wave as she waved her sword. All the disciples turned into piles of burnt meat slices as they fell to the ground.


    Long Ming walked to them and checked if any of them were alive or not.


    '' I guess my n was right. As long as keep my opponent''s life at 1 HP and not kill him, my Chaotic Murder Heart won''t activate. And, I can ask someone else to kill him.'' Long Ming chuckled as he nodded.


    " En, Themotion here must have attracted many people. We must leave." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    " Wait a bit." Long Ming hurried as he gathered the storage rings of the deceased cultivators. " Wasting resources is a sin, you know?"


    Ming Yuexin rolled her eyes when she heard that. Look, Who is talking? One who used one kg of Azure Mirthil just to lure Lan Family and Three Feather Group into a deadly battle?


    Long Ming nced at the pit as he retrieved the Radiant Pearl from it. Long Ming rubbed it as the radiance dimmed.


    '' Heh, Who would have thought that Radiant Pearl will act as a perfect bait? Mm, I guess I should use more of it in the future.''


    However, Both of them burnt those bodies and escaped immediately.


    " To think you devised such an evil n, making all forces engaged with each other." Ming Yuexin nced at Long Ming as she sighed. " I guess Sect Master was right to send you here."


    " Well, WIthout Sister Ming''s help, I don''t think I could havee this far." Long Ming smiled.


    " COUGH!"


    However, Long Ming''s expression changed as Ming Yuexin coughed a mouthful of blood as she plummeted to the ground.


    " Sister Ming! Are you alright?!" Long Ming''s Raging me Wings pped as he hurriedly held Ming Yuexin. Without dying a second, he turned into a dart of light as he returned to the Sea Breeze Inn.


    " Sister Ming, are you alright?! Are you injured?"


    " No¡­Not really. It''s just¡­My old symptoms areing back." Ming Yuexin sweated as her pupils dted. Long Ming could feel the heat in her body as she was filled with a dense amount of Yang Qi.


    " Sister Ming, You are sweating too much! I should remove the excessive clothing from you." Long Ming tried to remove her hat and head scarf along with her veil.


    " No¡­No! Don''t¡­Remove them."


    " Why is it, Sister Ming! Do you keeping your appearance right now is more important?" Long Ming couldn''t help but speak with awesome annoyance. He could feel that her condition was getting worse.


    Ming Yuexin got up as she gently pushed Long Ming aside. " Just¡­Guard me. I will deal with it."


    " Fine."


    Long Ming sat beside her as he also tried to recover his energy. " Hehe, Sister Ming, Perhaps you are such a beauty that it can''t be revealed to the world?"


    " Beauty, You say?"


    Long Ming was startled when he heard the tone of Ming Yuexin, filled with mocking and ridicule. She took off her headscarf and veil, along with her outer coat.


    Long Ming was stunned when he looked at her.


    The left side of her face waspletely red like someone sshed hot water on it. Her left arm was covered with bruises and burnt marks, making them look unsightly.


    One part, she looked beautiful as a fairy while on other side, she looked hideous.


    " Is this the beauty you are talking about?"


    If it was some other person, they might have been scared to see her face suddenly. But Long Ming''s calm attitude and immortal aura didn''t flinch a bit.


    Undoubtedly, he could see that she was once a peerless beauty, maybe only one point inferior to Mu Qinglian. However, for some reason, her body was disfigured like that.


    " Hah, I knew it. You will probably be disgusted after seeing this." Ming Yuexin sighed as she was about to wear back her veil, but Long Ming stopped her.


    " This¡­"


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes looked at Ming Yuexin as her gently traced his fingers on her cheeks. Ming Yuexin trembled when she saw Long Ming was so close.


    " Bro-Brother Long, What are you doing?!"


    Her face turned red as she felt like her mind going to be numb.


    *BA-DUMP! BA-DUMP*

 Chapter 67 Breaking Down the Lan Family

    67 Breaking Down the Lan Family


    Ming Yuexin''s heart thumped as countless scenarios jumped in her heart. Her heartbeat sped up as she clenched her fist.


    " This is¡­Were you cultivating the Scorching Summer Sword Technique and Energy Flowing Art?"


    Ming Yuexin became stunned as she nodded. " Brother Long is wise. I indeed cultivated the Summer branch technique of the Four Seasons Valley. However, Because I was too hasty to surpass junior sister Mu, I neglected the hazards."


    " Sect Master warned me that the Summer branch techniques got some faults. However, I didn''t listen to her. Then, I faced a cultivation deviation."


    "my meridians ruptured as the Scorching me Qi rampaged throughout my body."


    " The powerful Yang Qi scalded my skin and now, here am I." Ming Yuexin lowered her head. Long Ming was stunned as he finally realized why Xia Yuqing asked him to get theplete Scorching Summer Sword and Energy Flowing Art from the ancestral tablet.


    " The only solution was to abandon my cultivation and restart from scratch. However¡­" She gritted her teeth as her eyes shed with unwillingness. " I can''t. I can''t waste all the years and resources the sect poured in me. I can''t waste my time to get revenge."


    Long Ming could feel the excessive amount of Yang Qi in her body, rampaging in her meridians. He held her hands as he looked at Ming Yuexin.


    " Sister Ming, do you trust me?"


    Long Ming''s eyes were like two azure pools of water, filled with immeasurable mysteries. Seeing Long Ming''s handsome face so near along with his earnest tone, Ming Yuexin felt her blood rushing up to her head.


    '' Wh-What is this feeling? Why my heart is beating so fast? Long Ming is so handsome, but It''s my first time seeing him so close.''


    '' Why he isn''t disgusted with me? Am I not looking like a demon?''


    But looking at Long Ming''s face which was filled with warmth and emotion, Ming Yuexin felt her heart was melting with joy.


    [ Ding! Ming Yuexin''s favorability increased! Host gets 5000 AP]


    [ Ming Yuexin ( S grade): Favorability 70! ( Affectionate!)]


    " En, Everything you did till now is calcted. I am sure you won''t harm me." Ming Yuexin looked at her side as she blushed.


    " Then, Channel the True qi as I say." Long Ming spoke. Ming Yuexin nodded as Long Ming imparted theplete Scorching Summer Flowing Energy Art.


    Suddenly, Ming Yuexin shivered when she felt Long Ming''s palm on her back. The overwhelming amount of Yang Qi was being absorbed by Long Ming as the remaining qi circted in her body without a problem.


    " This¡­ This flow of energy wasn''t painful as before!" Ming Yuexin was stunned as she hurriedly followed Long Ming''s method.


    Here, Long Ming absorbed the Yang Qi from her body and started to refine it with his own Scarlet Yang Qi.


    Although both energies were different, their root is the same. Long Ming could feel a warm current through her body as Yang qi was refining his bones and muscles.


    '' With this, my physical body can grow to another level.'' Long Ming greedily devoured all the Yang Qi from Ming Zhu''s body, stabilizing her condition.


    However, at the same time, The Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art activated as it drew out arge amount of Fragrant Yin Qi from Ming Yuexin''s body and poured it into his.


    '' Eh? But why the Fragrant Yin Qi is so dense? She is that affectionate toward me??'' Long Ming muttered inwardly.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah! Haah, We won!"


    Pirates shouted in joy as they killed the remaining Lan family members on Coral Ind.


    " Hehe, Lan Family is going to suffer a lot. Also, using this chance, we are going to steal the other mining ind from them." Chen Geyi gave a deviousugh as he saw the corpses on the ind.


    But then, everyone''s expression changed when they saw a giant flying boat arrive on the ind.


    " This¡­Four Seasons Valley? What are they doing here?" Chen Geyi became confused.


    Mu Qinglian appeared as her ck dress fluttered in the air. While looking at the scene. Mu Qinglian chuckled as she walked forward.


    " The Lan Family''s members were ambushed and killed by the pirates. To deliver justice, Four Season Valley shall take action and eradicate the pirates along with their patron, Three Feathers Group."


    " What?"


    At that moment, Chen Geyi realized that he got fucked by Long Ming.


    " Motherfucker!"


    All the pirates raised their weapons in vignce as they looked at Mu Qinglian. Several disciples of Four Seasons Valley appeared as they stood behind her.


    " Senior Sister, Shall we?"


    " No need. I need to exercise a bit." Mu Qinglian spoke as she walked toward Chen Geyi.


    " Hmph! Ass of Primordial Spirit Realm dares to threaten me?!" Chen Geyi''s Harmonization Realm aura exploded as he raised his hand.


    '' Well, Now you will see what thisss can do.''


    Mu Qinglian''s eyes narrowed as she unsheathed her sword. The moment her sword appeared, the world turned silent.


    " You! You are¡­!!!"


    In the next moment, Chen Geyi''s inhumane scream rang throughout the ind.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    As the night passed, there was no information about Coral Ind nor about the scouting squad. But, Patriarch Lan didn''t know about that as he woke up after sleep.


    " Mm? What is thismotion?" Lan Xiao asked his servant.


    " What? An elder from Four Seasons Valley came here?" Lan Xiao''s expression turned serious as he hurriedly got up.


    Adjusting the attire, he walked to the meeting hall.


    " Greetings, Patriarch Lan. I am Meng Zhi, from Four Seasons Valley." Meng Zhi spoke in a light voice.


    " Wee, Elder Meng, to our humble Lan Family. What is the reason you came here?"


    Meng Zhi was startled. " Hmm? Do you really not know the reason? About what happened in Coral Indst night?"


    " Huh?"


    Patriarch Lan felt an ominous feeling in his heart as he looked at his servant. " Was there any news from Coral Indst night?"


    " Reporting to Patriarch, There was none." The servant bowed as he spoke.


    " I see, No wonder you didn''t know." Meng Zhi sighed as she produced a photographic jade and activated it.


    " Bastards! You dare to ambush us?!"


    " Keke, Why not? After today, Lan Family will turn into a paper tiger!"


    Lan Xiao''s expression changed drastically when he saw the projection of the photographic jade.


    " Isn''t that people from Three Feather group and Sea Skull Pirates?!"


    " They attacked our people?!"


    Lan Xiao stood up and looked at Meng Zhi. " When did this happen? Why this photographic jade is with you?"


    " Aha! I think Patriarch Lan is thinking of going to Coral Ind, yes?" Meng Zhi sighed. " Unfortunately, There is nothing remaining in that ce. All of the Lan Family troop was annihted."


    " What?!"


    " Impossible!"


    " You must be lying!"


    Meng Zhi''s tone was calm as she spoke. " Last night, Thee Feathers group and Sea Skull Pirates joined hands and ambushed the Lan Family''s troops in Coral Ind. One of our disciples saw the pirates attacking our sacred ce, so he sent a distress signal."


    " Thankfully, I and some of the disciples happened to pass by. So, We decided toe here. But when we arrived, all of them were dead." Meng Zhi sighed as she waved her hands. A head rolled on the floor.


    " But don''t worry, we have avenged them by killing Chen Geyi and the Sea Skull Pirates."


    Lan Xiao felt his hands and legs turning cold when he saw that. That head was unmistakably Chen Geyi''s. So, That means what Meng Zhi said was probably the truth.


    " Well, Also, From now, We shall be taking care of all the mining inds under Lan Family for while." Meng Zhi spoke.


    Lan Xiao''s body trembled when he heard that. " What do you mean by for a while? Isn''t this for seven days?"


    Meng Zhi was startled. " Is that so? Patriarch Lan, Can you show me the contract, please?"


    Lan Xiao snorted as he asked someone to bring the contract. " Here, This is the contract your disciple asked me to sign. It is clearly stated that you will be only taking the mines for seven days."


    Meng Zhi read the contract and her grin widened. " Well, Patriarch Lan, Will you read the bottom text again carefully?"


    Lan Xiao''s expression turned strange when he read the contract again.


    " And therefore, Four Seasons Valley shall be taking the mining inds for seven days. And after seven days, the sect will retreat from the inds and it will be ownerless."


    But then, realization dawned as Lan Xiao almost coughed a mouthful of blood.


    " Well? It states that after seven days, the Ind will be ownerless. But I doubt if Lan Family still have the power to keep those ind under their control. I mean, you guys already lost more than ? of your forces."


    " And since these are ownerless inds, firste first serve, right?"


    " Damn it! How dare you trick us! You think our Lan Family will let it go?!"


    " And? So, What?" Meng Zhi''s eyes narrowed, but her smile remained the same. " Well, I guess we will return to the ind. But then, I don''t think Huo Family will let go of this chance."


    " And when the conflict will happen, what do you think will happen if Huo Family got some extra support?"


    " You!!"


    " Enough, Patriarch Lan! Since we havee to this stage, Let''s stop pretending." Meng Zhi snorted. " Thousands of years ago, your ancestors betrayed the grace of Four Seasons Valley. Not to mention you, Who made the ore supply difficult and even killed some of our disciples stationed here. You think we didn''t know?"


    " I remember you gave our sect master two choices then, right?" Meng Zhi walked forward as she handed a ck scroll to him. " Now we give you two choices."


    " Either, sign this contract. Or, We will leave andpletely help Huo Family to overthrow you. And believe me, if you are thinking of asking any other sect to help you, you know it will be the same as calling wolves into your house."


    " This is¡­ Bloodline Pact?"


    " Indeed. After signing, if you break the contract, not only you but the entire bloodline of Lan Family''s main branch will suffer from this curse." Meng Zhi smiled.


    When Patriarch Lan read the contract, his expression turned ugly. " Meng Zhi, Don''t you go too far!"


    " Too far? I guess you are still thinking that you have three Harmonization Realm cultivators so you can still save Lan Family?" Meng Zhi giggled lightly. " But, do you think three people can keep protecting all of the family all the time? I wonder."


    Lan Xiao trembled as his eyes spat our mes of anger. But calcting the loss, the Lan Family indeed lost ? of the force. A single mistake and their enemies will pounce on them. And they will not hesitate to wipe out their entire bloodline.


    " Fine¡­"

 Chapter 68 Treating Ming Yuexin! Looting Lan Family

    68 Treating Ming Yuexin! Looting Lan Family


    " Now, Sister Ming, You can open your eyes."


    Long Ming gently took off the cloth covering her head and her body as he looked at Ming Yuexin.


    " Now, You should look at yourself in the mirror." Long Ming smiled. Ming Yuexin''s face twitched as she felt somewhat different.


    Hearing about the mirror, nightmares resurfaced in Ming Yuexin''s mind as she closed her eyes. However, Looking at Long Ming''s smiling expression, she sighed.


    She turned around and saw her reflection in the mirror. The moment she saw her reflection, she became stunned.


    " This¡­ This is me?!"


    Ming Yuexin became stunned as she touched her cheeks. She looked at her arms and waist with her own eyes as she was utterly speechless.


    Looking at her own figure, Ming Yuexin''s eyes became teary as she fell to the ground. Like a little girl, she started to sob.


    " I¡­ I am finally cured. I¡­ It''s gone! Those marks on my face are gone!" She sobbed as she wiped her tears.


    Long Ming nodded with a smile as he looked at her. Using his inheritance from Ancestral Tablet, he corrected her cultivation technique and saved her from future qi deviation.


    '' Also, To think Skin Enhancing Pase would be so effective. Itpletely restored her skin, along with adding a little more charm to her.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    No matter how Ming Yuexin tried before, all pills could only return her previous appearance for a short amount of time. As long as the Yang qi from Scorching Summer Energy Flowing Art overflowed, her appearance would turn hideous.


    However, Since Long Ming eliminated the root of the all problem, he recovered Ming Yuexin''s skin using the remaining Skin Enhancing Paste.


    At first, Ming Yuexin was contended to have her cultivation right on track. But when Long Ming insisted, she couldn''t say no to him.


    At first, she was doubtful. However, looking at the results, all her doubts melted away.


    Suddenly, her body moved as she hugged Long Ming. " Thank you, Long Ming. You really gave me a new life. You reignited my reason to live. Thank you so much."


    Long Ming was startled as he also hugged her back. He felt a tinge of sadness in his heart as he could feel his shoulder getting drenched from Ming Yuexin''s tears.


    " It''s fine, Sister Ming. Bad timese in everyone''s lives. However, not only you didn''t take a step back, you even improved yourself further. I can only admire you, Sister Ming."


    " Wuuuuu"


    [ Ding! Ming Yuexin''s favorability increased! Host gets 15000 AP!]


    [ Current favorability: 80 (In Love)]


    '' WELL!''


    Long Ming almost choked when he saw that, '' That escted pretty quickly.''


    But it wasn''t like Long Ming didn''t like that. In fact, this was the best oue he could expect.


    As they were hugging each other, the room door opened.


    " Little brothe-"


    Meng Zhi walked inside with a happy expression as she entered the room. However, her facial expression paused when she saw the scene.


    " Ah, I am sorry. I guess I came in the wrong time."


    " Ah! Elder Meng!"


    " Huh?"


    Suddenly, Meng Zhi froze when she looked at Ming Yuexin. Ming Yuexin blushed as she looked sideways.


    " No¡­No way! Yuexin, your appearance¡­ Did you recover?" Meng Zhi asked in a trembling voice. " My god, Is it really true."


    Ming Yuexin nodded as she looked at Meng Zhi. " Indeed, Elder Meng."


    " Haha! Good! Mu Qinglian will be so happy when she will see you." Meng Zhi nodded with a bright smile as she looked at Long Ming.


    " And you, You are the star of our show after all. Hehe, Elder Sister Xia didn''t believe that letter at first. However, seeing you insisting so much, she sent me and a squad from the disciplinary hall to help you. But who would have thought that we can easily take down Lan Family like that?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he let go of Ming Yuexin. " Well, I am just lucky that everything happened as I nned. As I wanted, I wiped out the lower and middle force of the Lan Family."


    " No matter how powerful the family head and elders will be, a n can never run smoothly if there will be no workers or supervisors. It''s the same for Lan Family. Without True Core Formation Realm and Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivators, what will the Harmonization Realm cultivator will do?"


    " Haha! Indeed." Meng Zhi nodded as she smacked her lips. " Mm, To think we can force Lan Xiao to write down such an inhumane contract. Hehe, BLittle brother is so well versed in writing contracts. I can''t find a single loophole to take advantage of."


    Long Ming grinned when he heard that. Since he was a professional bug exploiter¡­He meant professional debugger of systems, It''s natural that he will triple check something to see if there are any loopholes or not.


    " Anyway, Since they have signed the contract, It''s natural that we can make our move now. Also, Do you wish to visit inside their treasury?"


    Long Mingughed when he heard that. " Of course, Why not? I would like to see what kind of things those bastards were hoarding across the years."


    Meng Zhi and Ming Yuexinughed when they heard that. " Indeed. Let''s go. Mu Qinglian is waiting for us."


    When they reached downstairs, Long Ming saw Mu Qinglian sitting beside a table as she ate some light snacks. When she turned around, she became stunned.


    " Sister Ming??"


    Ming Yuexin looked at Mu Qinglian as she gave a small smile. " Yes, Junior Sister. It''s me."


    Mu Qinglian''s eyes turned moist as she rushed to Ming Yuexin and hugged her tightly. " Your appearance¡­It''s back!"


    " Indeed. I have made aplete recovery. In fact, I think I can make a breakthrough right now."


    " Haha, Grand Elder and Master will be so happy to hear that."


    Meng Zhi and Long Ming saw Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin talking enthusiastically, they looked at each other and nodded.


    " Little brother, Let''s go and give them some private time."


    " En."


    Long Ming nodded as he left with Meng Zhi.


    As Meng Zhi and Long Ming strolled in the city, Meng Zhi smiled. " People often called Four Season Valley and of beautiful flowers. And it is true somewhat. Even our most ordinary disciple is a mortal beauty after all."


    " However, can you imagine the heart of Ming Yuexin? When she covered her scarred face and walked amongst these flowers?"


    " It must be very painful." Long Ming nodded. " Even more because she was formerly one of the most beautifuldy. But it was amazing to think she didn''t develop a heart demon because of it."


    " Indeed. She was really a tough child." Meng Zhi sighed. " She became obsessed with the Scorching Summer Flowing Art because Mu Qinglian reached the Perfection stage first."


    " She did?"


    Long Ming was startled when he heard that. Looking at the ws of the technique that was passed down in the Four Season Valley, reaching the Perfection stage in Scorching Summer Flowing Energy Art is night impossible without having a deviation like Ming Yuexin''s.


    However, not only Mu Qinglian didn''t face any deviation, she even cultivated it so fast. No wonder why Ming Yuexin also felt that the ws will not affect her.


    '' Hmm, Could it be Mu Qinglian took some sort of pills? No, I don''t think so. Otherwise Sect Master would have cured Ming Yuexin too.''


    " We have arrived."


    Meng Zhi''s words woke up Long Ming from his thoughts as he looked at the Lan Family mansion. He hid his face with the conical hat as he walked inside.


    " So, ording to the contract, Lan Family has to pay us two million high grade spirit stones along with ten years worth of Deep Sea Iron and Ocenide Steel right away." Meng Zhi spoke as she looked at Lan Xiao.


    " Other than that, The revenue of the mines will be split into 75:25: We will take 75% and Lan Family can keep 25%. Of course, I hope you can also take over the business of Three Feather Group."


    " Yes."


    Lan Xiao talked like an aged grandpa. Once his robust body now seemed to wither away. Long Ming chuckled when he saw that.


    Lan Xiao walked forward as he ced his palm on the stone gate. The stone gate rumbled as various runes shed on it.


    " What a powerful defense formation. Even a Nine Revolution of Soul Realm will face some difficulty to open it."


    " Well, It''s their treasury. Of course, they will protect it." Meng Zhi chuckled. " Yes, A higher level cultivator might face difficulty. But a Formation Master might not. That''s the advantage of the supplementary path, Little brother."


    Long Ming and Meng Zhi entered the treasury as their eyes squinted. Spirit stones were piled like mountains along with ores and other precious materials.


    " Five Noble grade weapons? Your Lan family quite something." Meng Zhi red at Lan Xiao. " To think you embezzled so much money throughout the years."


    '' Damn, They have more money than Four Seasons Valley. No wonder why they didn''t fear us.'' Long Ming snorted inwardly.


    He had no particr interest in treasures as he looked at Meng Zhi. " You can take as you like."


    " Fine, Little brother." Meng Zhi chuckled.


    As Long Ming walked, Suddenly, His Heavenly Revtion Eyes caught something.


    " Huh? This stone token¡­" He was curious as he picked it up. It was covered with ayer of dust with some scattered and broken runes drawn over it. It didn''t react to True Qi at all.


    However, under Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, the scattered runes floated on the surface of the tablet as they suddenly joined.


    '' Wait, This symbol¡­This is Four Season Valley''s symbol. And this is the map of ck Pearl City.'' Long Ming was shocked.


    '' No fucking way! Don''t tell me there is really a treasure trove hidden here?!''


    .


    .


    .


    Hehe, Chapter 69 ising. Are you all excited?


    Also, I might lock the chapters today so...Hehe

 Chapter 69 Invitation For Painting

    69 Invitation For Painting


    Long Ming''s face was flushed as he looked at the token, He ced that token inside his inventory.


    '' There is clearly an X mark on it. I am sure it indicates a treasure.'' Long Ming rubbed his palm as he couldn''t help butugh inwardly.


    '' But to think, Lan Family had the key of the treasury all along yet they looked for it everywhere. It''s the same as talking with someone on the phone while trying to find where you ced your phone.''


    He decided to


    Long Ming saw Meng Zhi picking two Noble grade treasures and five Earth grade treasures. Seeing Lan Xiao''s ugly expression, Long Ming chuckled. " Patriarch Lan, Don''t worry much. We aren''t taking your treasures at all."


    " It''s just these things are rotting here without getting used. So, We are just safe keeping it while using it As long as you ask, we will return it."


    Lan Xiao almost coughed out another mouthful of blood as he red at Long Ming. He got the urge to p Long Ming hard, but he resisted his urge. Safekeeping them?


    '' Why don''t you take my wife for safekeeping too?'' Lan Xiao shouted in his heart.


    " Elder Meng, I think we should keep our rtionship with Lan Family better. No matter what, They are our allies." Long Ming spoke. " We should recruit a person that manages our interpersonal rtionship well."


    Meng Zhi understood Long Ming''s n as she nodded. " What do you think, Patriarch Lan?"


    " Eh? That''s fine, I guess." Lan Xiao was startled when he heard that. Won''t that mean he can easily send one of his personnel into Four Season Valley as his spokesperson?


    However, the next words froze his face entirely.


    " I was thinking, How about we take Miss An with us? She is quite a beauty along with skills in Four Arts. I am sure she will get benefit from Four Seasons Valley."


    " An Lu''an? Why her? Lan Xiao was shocked as he looked a Long Ming.


    No way, Are they really taking his wife away?


    " Well, I think she fulfills our criteria very well. Besides, You know, Our Four Seasons Valley prefers women over men. So, I hope you can understand."


    " Err, I think I should talk to her." Lan Xioa''s face darkened as he walked out along with them.


    However, as they reached the main hall, Lan Xiao saw that An Lu''an was standing there.


    " Husband, The disciples of Four Seasons Valley already informed me already." An Lu''an lowered her head as she spoke. " As you know, I always wished to improve my calligraphy and painting skills. And, I think it''s a good chance to do that."


    Lan Xiao''s expression turned stiff as he looked at An Lu''an''s face. Then he turned around and looked at Long Ming and Meng Zhi.


    '' Why do I feel like I am getting yed? No, How can An Lu''an collude with them?'' Lan Xiao shook his head.


    '' Husband, I actually found something in the old part of our n library. If that is true, then I need to go with them and retrieve that item. I hope you will read the thing I kept in your study room.''


    Lan Xiao heard the voice transmission of An Lu''an and he was startled. No wonder An Lu''an is going with them. She already found something.


    '' I knew it. An Lu''an is intelligent and loyal. Hehe, With her, She can be my eyes and ears in Four Seasons Valley.'' Lan Xiao''s face lit up with glee.


    " Fine, If my concubine insists, I can''t just say no to her. " Lan Xiao coughed lightly as he nodded. " You shall be allowed to go with Four Seasons Valley."


    " Concubine An thanks husband." An Lu''an bowed. She suddenly waved her hand as she produced a painting.


    " Husband, How is this painting looking?"


    " Eh?"


    Lan Xiao was startled when he saw the painting. The scenery was exquisite and he could feel a strange feeling of tranquility when he looked at it.


    "This painting is truly beautiful. I can feel the natural aura of the world around it. This is a spiritual treasure. Where did you get it?"


    An Lu''an bowed. " This was something I got gifted by a disciple of Four Seasons Valley. Her painting skills almost reached the pinnacle realm." An Lu''an replied.


    " I wish to invite her into our room to serve tea and make a painting of myself. Can I do it, Husband?"


    " Eh? A portrait of yours? If such a master artist can create your portrait, it will be a delight." Lan Xiao approved. " You can use our bedroom."


    " Very well. I shall start my packing now." An Lu''an bowed as she left.


    Lan Xiao thought of something as he looked at Long Ming. " Well? I thought Four Seasons Valley only epts females. But you are clearly a male though?"


    " Am I?" Long Ming shrugged. " You didn''t even see my face. I am just using the disguise of a male."


    The conical hat was a gift he got from Meng Zhi. She gave it to Long Ming so he could easily hide his identity from most people. Thankfully, Lan Xiao didn''t dwell on it much.


    " Is that so?"


    Looking at the palm of Long Ming, Lan Xiao fell into deep thought. He can''t really believe Long Ming''s words. But something about his aura is clearly making Lan Xiao believe Long Ming.


    Meng Zhi chuckled. " Of course, She is a girl. She is just disguised to scare off others toe near our disciples."


    But Long Ming could see Meng Zhi rolling her eyes toward him. It was as if she was asking, '' What the hell are you up to this time?''


    Long Ming only showed his teeth under his conical hat. " Well, If nothing more, I shall take my leave. I have some things to attend."


    " Very well, I shall take care of everything." Meng Zhi nodded.


    Long Ming didn''t dy as he hurriedly walked out. When he walked, he saw a young man talking with An Lu''an.


    " Yes, Third Mother. I will not ess around today." The young man replied with a cid face as he turned around. When he passed bsedie Long Ming, Long Ming clicked his tongue.


    '' He must be Lan Xiao''s first wife''s son, Lan Hai.''


    '' Poor brat, Little does he know that I am going to bang his mom, albeit step one.'' Long Ming became amused.


    It wasn''t like he couldn''t bang his real mom. But she was kinda old and doesn''t keep up her appearance.


    After he left, An Lu''an looked at Long Ming and beckoned him. " This way."


    Long Ming nodded as he followed her. Soon, they reached a courtyard as the guards bowed when they saw An Lu''an. She and Long Ming entered a giant room as she closed the door and activated the formation.


    Gesturing for Long Ming to sit, An Lu''an searched through the room and took out two cups and a sk of wine.


    " Miss An isn''t going to invite me to drink tea?" Long Ming grinned as he saw An Lu''an pour wine on the ss.


    " Well, Looking at the situation, Wine would be much more appropriate." An Lu''an spoke as she took the cup and sat on a chair. " Now, Please make a portrait of mine."


    " With my pleasure."


    Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush as he started to paint the portrait of An Lu''an.


    " Honestly, I never thought you will really bring the Lan Family to their knees. I am impressed." An Lu''an spoke.


    " Well, I am also greatly indebted to you. Without your help, it would have been more difficult."


    " En."


    It barely took time for Long Ming to finish her portrait. An Lu''an nced at it as she nodded. While rolling that portrait, she kept it on the table.


    " It was a good portrait. Lan Xiao will be happy to see this. However, I need you to make another portrait."


    A light smirk appeared on An Lu''an''s lips. " A portrait that contains your emotions. A portrait that depicts me¡­and only the true me."


    Long Ming''s eyes widened as he saw An Lu''an untie her robes. Like dew gliding down from a leaf, her clothes fell on the ground, revealing her soft and smooth body.


    And for some reason, she didn''t wear her undergarments at all.


    Within a sh of a moment, the spring scenery appeared before Long Ming as his breath fastened.


    " Will Young Noble Long be able to draw another portrait¡­For only me?" An Lu''an bit her lips seductively as she looked at Long Ming. A wide grin appeared on Long Ming''s face as he walked toward her.


    " Well, I can certainly fulfill Miss An''s wishes. However, to create such a masterpiece, I need to take your body measurements. Shall I?"


    " Please, feel free to do so."


    Suddenly, Long Ming held her waist as he pulled her into his embrace Their lips met as Long Ming sucked her lips sensually.


    " Mnnnn¡­"


    An Lu''an closed her eyes when Long Ming kissed her lips. She could feel his tongue prying open her lips and capturing her tongue. Like two snakes, the tongues started to y with each other.


    Long Ming''s touch was captivating as his fingers traced her naked body masterfully. Each touch aroused myriads of lustful thoughts in An Lu''an''s heart as their kiss turned fierce.


    An Lu''an felt Long Ming''s warmth, along with his strangely adductive saliva. The more time passed, the passionate the kiss became. It was like he was truly measuring her lips.


    [Note: Such measuring techniques are only reserved for protagonists. Please don''t try in real life.]


    " Haaa¡­ Young Master Long is too good at kisses."


    An Lu''an panted as their lips parted. A thin line of saliva still connected their tongue. Long Ming grinned when he heard that. " Well, Kissing isn''t even called an appetizer. I am very good at other things too?"


    An Lu''an gave a seductive smirk as she started to take off Long Ming''s clothes. " Is that so? I am eager to see your skills, Young Master Long."


    " Well, I wonder if you do a pose for me." Long Ming chuckled. An Lu''an''s heart thumped when she saw that smile.


    That smile¡­That goddamn smile reeking of unbridled lust and desire. Just seeing that, An Lu''an felt a lustful me in her underbelly.


    " Sure, Why not?"


    However, when she heard the position, she was shocked.


    " The inverted phoenix, is it?"


    Sweat droplets gleamed on her body as her legs parted. Long Mingy on the bed as An Lu''an positioned herself on his face.


    Gently, she sat down on his face as her sacred garden was right above Long Ming''s lips. With a slight movement, she bent forward and held Long Ming''s raging hard rod.


    " Haaah¡­ Look at this angry beast. I wonder how you taste¡­"


    An Lu''an felt her blood boiling as a breath of humid airnded on Long Ming''s cock.


    After that, lips wrapped around the spear tip of Long Ming as Long Ming also kissed her pussy lips.

 Chapter 70 The Shining Green Hat (R-18)

    70 The Shining Green Hat (R-18)


    " Ahnnn!!~"


    Long Ming attacked first as his tongue stuck out. The tip of his tongue gently traced the pussy lips of An Lu''an. When he teased her sacred well like that, An Lu''an couldn''t help but moan.


    " Hummm, I won''t lose to you."


    " Nnghhh!"


    Long Ming felt a shiver throughout his body as An Lu''an took his raging hard rod into her mouth. Her soft lips and moist mouth made his blood boil like crazy.


    '' Mmnn¡­ What''s with this size? Lan Xiao''s dick is the same asparing a twig to a green bamboo.''


    Her heart was thumping like crazy as she sucked Long Ming''s cock while her pussy was being teased by Long Ming''s tongue. The position was so erotic that it made her mind numb.


    " Oho, You are twitching so much, Miss An. I think you will lose pretty fast at this rate." Long Ming chuckled as a faint amount of Fragrant Yin Qi revolved around his index and middle finger.


    " AHNN!~"


    An Lu''an moaned when she felt Long Ming''s two fingers enter her sacred well as now he was licking her pussy while fingering her.


    " Haah! Young Noble is surely experienced. However, It''s¡­ Too early to say who is going to lose."


    Suddenly, An Lu''an''s head started to move up and down at a fast pace as Long Ming felt her tongue wrapping around his cock as she sucked with all her might.


    Not to mention, her fingers traced his balls as she lightly scratched them, increasing the stimtion.


    At first, she was clumsy, but it didn''t take long before she could take his whole rod in one go. Long Ming felt like his lower abdomen turned into a ball of evil me.


    An Lu''an whimpered lightly as her body jolted. Long Ming pressed her lips on her pussy as his tongue traced the fleshly walls inside. Not to mention, the fingering with Fragrant Yin Qi was too powerful for her to resist for so long.


    Her hips moved as she pressed her pussy on Long Ming''s lips. The movement of his tongue and fingers were making her mind go crazy.


    Suddenly, Long Ming pressed her pink pear as his tongue teased it lightly. And, that was the moment when An Lu''an''s barrier copsed. She straightened her back as she pulled away her face from Long Ming''s rod.


    " Ahnn! I am cumming!~"


    She closed her eyes with pleasure as her slit twitched. Suddenly, Long Ming could feel the nectar gushing on his face as An Lu''an cummed.


    " Haaahh! Haahhh! It''s been such a long time since I cummed!" An Lu''an panted as she looked at Long Ming''s throbbing dick. " Don''t worry, Dear, I won''t let you feel unsatisfied."


    " UWOUHH!"


    Long Ming felt his rod throbbing even more when An Lu''an sucked his spear tip. Her tongue and mouth movement almost made Long Ming reach the pinnacle.


    " I am also about to¡­"


    " Huhuhu, Sure, My dearest Young Noble. Cum with all your pleasure." She give thest lick to his rod as the spear tip oozed.


    Suddenly, his cock throbbed as thick threads of white cream shot on her face. The sticky, warm fluid dripped on her face and covered her beautiful face.


    She tried to dodge at first, but since she already got stained, she might as well as have a facial.


    " Mmm, Such a thick cum. The scent is driving me crazy." An Lu''an smacked her lips as she could taste some of Long Ming''s essence in her mouth.


    '' So, This is the stench of a healthy stud¡­ A raw, wild, and powerful cock.''


    Long Ming''s essence was dripping from her face as she looked extremely pleased. Her bountiful chest rose and fell as she suddenly got up.


    " Hmm, Now, We should take a break."


    " Break? For what?"


    As An Lu''an stood up, Long Ming suddenly hugged her from behind. His rod passed between her thighs as he rubbed it against her slit.


    " Huh?!"


    An Lu''an''s body trembled as she could feel Long Ming''s hard rod spreading her slit. She could feel the throbbing veins as Long Ming''s palm gently fondled her breasts.


    '' This¡­ Why is it still so hard? Shouldn''t he take a break or something?'' An Lu''an was shocked as she panted. '' He must have taken some sort of medicine, Yes.''


    " Well, If you are eager, So be it." An Lu''an giggled as she fell on the bed. Her body waspletely exposed as she looked at Long Ming with a teasing nce as if she was inviting him.


    However, inwardly, she was pretty nervous as her heartbeat elerated. She already started to whimper when Long Ming''s spear tip was the mouth of her sacred well.


    " Well, Long Ming, How about we do¡­" An Lu''an suddenly got panicked as she tried to stop Long Ming. However, Long Ming held her waist as he moved forward.


    " AHHN~"


    Long Ming was a bit surprised when he felt mild resistance. But, he didn''t stop as he made a forward thrust.


    An Lu''an moaned loudly as she felt a jolt through her body. She clutched the bedsheets as tears rolled down from her eyes.


    " Huh??"


    Long Ming was dumbfounded when he saw bright droplets of blood dripping on the ground. '' This¡­ This is impossible. She is¡­''


    " You are a virgin?" Long Ming looked at An Lu''an with shock. Suddenly, a new me filled his heart as he began to move his hips.


    " Well, I don''t care. But as your first experience, I will make the best experience."


    " NNGHHH!~"


    An Lu''an panted as she took deep breaths, biting her index finger out of the strange feeling of pain and bliss. But as time passed, the pain slowly vanished.


    Long Ming moved forward as he pinned An Lu''an beneath her. AnLu''an''s body shivered as Long Ming started to thrust his rod inside her sacred well.


    An Lu''an felt her mind going nk as Long Ming sucked her breasts while pounding her pussy. His fingers pinched her nipples, making them erect. After that, he gently started to suck and nibble them.


    " Uh oh! You are mping me down there, Miss An. I guess this is your sweet spot?" Long Ming grinned as he licked that ce with his tongue as his pace increased.


    " Ahnn! Ahnn! AHNN!~"


    An Lu''an moaned with each thrust as she felt like Long Ming''s rod going to rip her apart. But as time passed, her movements slowly caught up to Long Ming''s thrsust.


    " Hmm? What is this scent? Is this your body scent?"


    An Lu''an''s body trembled in bliss as Long Ming nibbled her neck. She looked into his eyes as his rod kept pounding her pussy.


    " Haah! You know¡­Why am I a virgin?" An Lu''an started to talk as she got pounded. " When I was a kid¡­


    I got an Illusory Fox Pupil technique. After I cultivated it to the pinnacle, I could put people under the illusion, making them feel real what is unreal."


    Her arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck as she looked at him with love and tease. " Well, When Lan Xiao went to my bridal chamber, he was drunk and tired. So, When he tried to fuck me, I cast the illusion on him."


    Her finger traced Long Ming''s masculine jawline as she continued. " The thing he thought my pussy was¡­a hole in the bed."


    " PFFT! Hahahahaha!"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but burst outughing when he heard that, making in increase the speed.


    " That old fool got fooled in the most foolish way."


    " So, I guess I took your first time, Huh?" Long Ming narrowed his eyes as his hips kept moving.


    " Yes, You are the first one who taught me the joy of being a woman." An Lu''an panted as she hugged Long Ming tightly. As her teeth brushed against his neck, she panted softly.


    "Therefore, Give me the ultimate bliss."


    " There you go!"


    " OOOOHNNN!"


    Her legs crossed around Long Ming as she could feel his rod hitting her deepest parts. At this point, she didn''t care as she moaned like crazy.


    " No more! No mooreee! I am about to_"


    Long Ming grinned as he gently bit nibbled her nipples, making her pussy mp around his rod.


    For An Lu''an this felt surreal and exciting.


    She is having an affair with a stranger in her own husband''s bedroom? The thought alone gave her the energy to move along Long Ming.


    '' Serves that bastard right!'' She spoke in her heart


    " Let''s cum together!" Long Ming grinned as he gave a deep thrust.


    " Ahhhhnnnnnn!~"


    An Lu''an felt like her brain turning into mush as her hole got filled with a load of warm fluid. Suddenly, Long Ming pulled out his rod as he rubbed on her belly, also cumming on her body.


    An Lu''any on the bed with a quivering body as she could see Long Ming''s essence covering her body both outside and inside.


    " Haah! Haaah! Th-That was quite a¡­Big load!" An Lu''an panted as she looked at her belly.


    " Ehh? You gonna back down after the first round?"


    " !!!!"


    An Lu''an''s eyes turned wide when she saw Long Ming''sid dragon rising again. " No-No way! How is that possible?!"


    '' Even if one took some medicine, he will need at least a break of tea time. But why is his energying back this fast?! Could it be¡­It''s his natural ability?!"


    An Lu''an gulped a mouthful of saliva as she saw Long Ming holding her and turning her around.


    " Hu-Huh? Wai-Wait! I am still sensiti- HNNNGHHH!~"


    Long Ming lifted her hips as he rubbed her snow white buttocks. After that, his thumbs spread her sacred well, which was still secreting his essence mixed with her juice.


    For the second time, his rod went inside, but much smoother than before. Holding her waist, Long Ming used the fast thrusting technique from the start.


    " AHN! AHNN! AHNNN!~"


    Changing the position into this, An Lu''an felt like it was even more erotic and sensitive than before. Not to mention, Long Ming could go faster in this position.


    " Young Master¡­Slow down¡­"


    " Slow down?" Long Ming grinned as he gave a deep thrust. " Really?"


    " Ahnn! Yes¡­Slow¡­.No¡­Don''t¡­."


    An Lu''an herself couldn''t understand what she was saying. But The only thing she can feel clearly was the bliss and pleasure coursing through her body.


    " Miss An! I am cumming again!"


    Then, the third round from sideways¡­


    " No¡­No more¡­Long Ming¡­Merc¡­.Cumming!"


    " Eh, Lu''an, Are you alright? Why are you walking like that?" Lan Xiao asked in confusion.


    17:55


    " Oh, I just sat for too long as a model. So, I was a bit drained." An Lu''an spoke with a smile.


    An Lu''an was now lying on the bed with a listless body. Although she was extremely tired, a smile of bliss and contentment was spread on her lips.


    After a while, An Lu''an looked at the bedsheet covered with their love fluid and blood with a chuckle. With a gentle flick, she kept it in her spatial ring.


    Long Ming also wore his robe as he handed a big scroll to An Lu''an. " As you wished, Miss Lu''an."


    An Lu''an''s eyes turned wide when she saw the painting.


    Unlike the previous painting where she looked like a tranquil, noblewoman, this was theplete opposite.


    She was lying on the bed, nude and exposed as if she was panting. Her pussy was oozing out a load of cum as her body was covered with cum shots.


    Her eyes rolled back with a lustful smile on her face. Just the portrait alone can ignite anyone''s mes of lust.


    But seeing such a version of herself, although An Lu''an was pretty embarrassed, she was also happy.


    " Well, I will take good care of it."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Soon, It was the departure time. An Lu''an handed Lan Xiao the painting.


    " Eh, Lu''an, Are you alright? Why are you walking like that?" Lan Xiao asked in confusion.


    " Oh, I just sat for too long as a model. So, I was a bit drained." An Lu''an spoke with a smile.


    When Lan Xiao opened the scroll, he was stunned.


    " Truly a masterpiece. The painting looks exactly like you." Lan Xiao nodded. " The artist did a fantastic job."


    An Lu''an gave a broad, sneaky grin."


    " Oh, believe me, His strokes were truly heavenly. I reached the pinnacle of bliss when he did that."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    And, the arc of ck Pear City ended. So, The chapters of the next few days might be regr or irregr(for privilege), so I hope you guys be patient.


    Also, Ya all should be thankful to me. When I went for a certain site for source material, I almost got horni at 2AM¡­also I also saw some weird shits. Betterpensate for my mental loss.

 Chapter 71 Old Statue And Treasure

    71 Old Statue And Treasure


    As everything was decided, Meng Zhi took the resources from Lan Family as she gathered the disciples of Four Seasons Valley to depart.


    Long Ming was tired after two hours of intense ''painting'' as he picked a ce and revolved his Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art.


    When he dual cultivated with An Luan (Fuck " '' ", It''s hard to type), he absorbed arge amount of Fragrant Yin Qi from her body.


    It was superior in both quality and quantity since An Luan''s cultivation was two great realms higher than Long Ming. The Fragrant Yin Flower in his dantian swayed a bit as out of twelve, only two petals remained dimmed.


    '' Just a bit more and I will be able to reach the next stage of Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art. I wonder what kind of changes will bring that.'' Long Ming was excited as he refined the Fragrant Yin Qi and made it pure.


    " Hell, If my cultivation wasn''t limited due to the system, I might have reached True Core Formation Realm with this amount of Fragrant Yin Qi." Long Ming mumbled as he took a light breath.


    After refining that amount of energy, Long Ming felt his body rejuvenated as he got up.


    Stretching his arms, he looked at the sky. " Well, Soon, It will be evening. I guess I should start my treasure hunt."


    .


    .


    .


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian stared at An Luan as she sat alongside them in their flying boat.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming was surrounded by various female disciples of the Four Seasons Sect.


    " So, He is the True Disciple of Four Season Valley?"


    " Kyaa!~ Senior Brother is looking so handsome!"


    " Ugh, I thought I only saw such handsome men in portraits of novels. To think our senior brother''s looks are so heavenly!"


    One of the girl stepped forward as she bowed. " Greetings, Senior brother. I am Xin Lan from Inner Sect."


    " Greetings, Junior Sister Xin. I am Long Ming. It''s really a pleasure to meet you all." Long Ming gave a bright smile as he talked with them.


    " I guess it''s my blessing that I got so many cute and beautiful junior sisters."


    " Kyaahh~"


    " Di-Did he just called me cute and beautiful?!"


    " Us! He said all of us!"


    " I am going to faint!"


    Long Mingughed when he saw the surge of AP from the disciples. The AP was skyrocketing in his system as he stroked his cheeks.


    '' It''s really good to be handsome. I am getting twice the results with half of the effort. Hehe, At this rate, I might be able to buy some good things."


    " Alright! That''s enough. Your senior brother is pretty tired. So, You should go back and leave him alone." Mu Qinglian walked forward as she spoke.


    Hearing Mu Qinglian, all of them nodded as they dispersed. Long Ming gave a chuckle when he saw that. " Well, I am not tired at all. I think I should spend some more time with them"


    " Oh? Not feeling tired, are you?" Mu Qinglian walked toward Long Ming as she rubbed her fist with her palm. " How about we do some training and make you tired?"


    Long Ming''s face turned dark as he remembered when Mu Qinglian ''trained'' him and beat him ck and blue.


    " No-No need. I am fine." Long Ming grimaced as he answered.


    " It''s true, Little Qing." Meng Zhi gave a seductiveugh as she looked at Long Ming. " I think the little brother is really tired today. What do you say, Miss An?"


    An Luan''s expression remained tranquil as she looked at Meng Zhi. " Well, Perhaps Young Noble Long painted an exquisite painting for me, he got tired?"


    " Painting, you say?" Meng Zhi chuckled. " The painting must have contained some intense physical and mental stamina, no?"


    " Oh, I wonder." An Luan only gave a polite smile.


    " Hmm? What are you both talking about?" Ming Yuexin was oblivious as she blinked. However, Mu Qinglian realized something she red fiercely at Long Ming.


    " Big Sister Ming, You don''t need to know. This bastard is a pervert no matter what happens." Mu Qinglian snorted. " The moment you get a chance, you just pull down your pants, don''t you?"


    " Wh-What?" Long Ming shrugged. " I don''t know what you are talking about, Senior Sister."


    " Don''t worry. You will understand when I will give you some pointers."


    " No, Not now." Long Ming shook his head. " Currently, I have something important to do."


    " Really?"


    Long Ming nodded heavily. " It''s already evening, right? Let''s depart tomorrow morning."


    " But why?" Meng Zhi was also curious. " What are you going to do?"


    " It''s a secret." Long Ming winked.


    When it was already evening, Long Ming looked at the map of ck Pearl City and went to a rural area. It looked like a small vige of fishermen and farmers.


    Reaching a ce, There was a giant statue at the northern end of the vige. Long Ming stood there as he looked at the horizon. He could see the Westward Bay, reflecting the iing darkness of the night.


    The moon already rose in the east as it cast a faint light on the rolling waves. Long Ming stood there with closed eyes as he let the sea wind hit his face.


    The calmness of the surroundings and the sound of the waves were extremely soothing.


    '' Beach, Huh? I think Mom and Dad took me once to the seaside. Although I was barely able to walk much with my crutch, it was truly a beautiful moment.''


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he woke up from his sweet memories. However, remembering when he saw both of his parents lying dead before him, he couldn''t help but flinch.


    '' But why did I remember that? Did I forget some major event? My parents were alive when till far as I remember. Then why¡­''


    " Young Man, What are you doing here?"


    " Ah!"


    Long Ming was startled as he turned around. He saw an old fisherman standing beside him.


    " Greetings, Elder." Long Ming smiled. " Do you know whose statue is this?"


    The old fisherman was startled when he gazed at Long Ming. With his blue robe and handsome face, he felt like he was an ethereal being standing under the moonlight.


    " This is the statue of the third Heavenly Emperor of Four Seasons Valley, Hao Jie. When he destroyed the Bloodsea Devils and chased them away, he established the ck Pearl City as a symbol of victory. This statue was made as a memorial."


    " Is that so? Then, This must be a treasure, no?" Long Ming asked in a curious face.


    " Haha, Many cultivators came here to check this statue. But it was just a statue made with ck Earthen Granite. Other than its durability, nothing special. Gradually, people forgot about it." The old fishermanughed.


    " Sigh, no one evenes to maintain it. But the view from here is pretty good."


    " Indeed."


    Long Ming looked at the statue with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes as he could only perceive a faint aura.


    " Take this and return. I shall stay here for some time." Long Ming waved his hands as he threw a pouch at the old fisherman.


    When the fisherman opened it, he was stunned. There were more than a hundred mid grade spirit stones in it.


    " This¡­ This is¡­Thank you, Immortal."


    The fisherman''s body trembled as he kowtowed before Long Ming. After that, he turned around and hurriedly left.


    With the amount of spirit stones Long Ming gave him, the fisherman couldn''t earn that much in his lifetime.


    Long Ming sighed as he ced his palm on the statue. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes looked at the statue as suddenly, an invisible pressure fell on his body.


    The seemingly ordinary statue erupted with a tremendous aura, as if it was the emperoring back to life. However, Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura also erupted as it reduced the pressure on his body.


    " Emperor Hao Jie, Look what happened to the city once you built." Long Ming chuckled. " Your trusted ally, Lan Family, almost devoured the city for themselves."


    " However, I, a magnanimous person, helped your sect to recover it. Then, shouldn''t I take my reward?" Long Ming grinned as he took out the token he got from the Lan Family''s treasure.


    The moment he ced the token on the statue, a golden runic circle appeared as it sucked the token.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt his body get covered by a curtain of light as his body slowly faded away.


    In one moment, his surroundings faded as he arrived inside a cave. The cave was lit up with luminous pearls as a gigantic door stood before him. The door was filled with several lines as if snakes slithering on it.


    " Fuck! It was already hard enough to get the key to the treasury. However, Now, you even added an additionalyer of security?" Long Ming cursed out aloud.


    However, cursing was only a waste of time. Long Ming cooled his heart as he nced at the door.


    At first, Long Ming didn''t understand. But then, when he used the Heavenly Revtion Eyes on it, he could see a pattern inside the scribblings.


    " This is¡­ This is the Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art." Long Ming put his finger on the door as he circted the True Qi in his body ording to the Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art.


    *RUMBLE RUMBLE*


    The door rumbled as it slowly opened. Long Ming rubbed his palms in excitement as he walked inside.

 Chapter 72 Teaching Ming Yuexin! Mu Qinglians Jealousy

    Chapter 72 Teaching Ming Yuexin! Mu Qinglian''s Jealousy


    The moment the gates opened, Long Ming felt a thick air of True Qi hitting his face. The density of True Qi was much more than his Solitary Flower Peak.


    The luminous pearls here were bigger, but they aren''t the primary source of light.


    There were enough treasures to illuminate the room with their light.


    The treasury wasn''t big as Long Ming expected. However, The items stored there were enough to take his breath away.


    '' There are more than a dozen Noble grade weapons here. And these are all True Noble Ggrade weapons.''


    The Noble grade, Royal grade, and Imperial Grade weapons are all divided into two types: Acquired and True.


    Acquired type weapons were something that those high power cultivators acquired throughout their lifetime. After all, even if an ordinary aura constantly gets bathed by its powerful aura, it will turn into a treasure.


    However, True type weapons were something that those high realm cultivators refined with their True blood and Spiritual Qi and turned into their natal weapons.


    The difference in the power level of an Acquired and True type weapon is the same as heaven and earth. Acquired type weapons were much easier to get than the True type weapons.


    Even in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, They only sold one True ss Noble grade weapon in the end. And the price shot to several hundred million Middle grade Spirit stones.


    Even the Noble grade sword Long Ming got from Four Season Valley was an inferior Acquired ss Noble grade weapon.


    However, Currently, Long Ming didn''t need to think about that.


    " There are at least Fifty million high grade spirit stones here, along with many cultivation techniques and battle arts. Also, there are eight Royal grade weapons here, all of them are True ss."


    Long Ming looked at the treasury as he saw two faint glow in the middle. The moment he cast his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, his hair stood on its end.


    Like two ancient beasts awakening, two sky piercing phenomena appeared before his eyes.


    One of them was a gigantic crescent moon-like wheel, shining with a sharp light. The wheel buzzed with an ethereal sound, making it looks like it can cut through anything.


    The second item was a big painting scroll. The painting, it depicted a woman holding a flute as she gazed toward a distant mountain.


    The woman wore a royal blue robe, with a beauty unrivaled under the heavens. Her eyes were pure and deep like an ocean, with soft lips that can evolve desires.


    Even though her dress covered her body properly, one couldn''t help but think of her beautiful body.


    But before this painting, they couldn''t have such thoughts. The only feeling they will feel before the painting is reverence and fear.


    " Scorching Sr Divine Wheel and a True Painting of Second Heavenly Emperor of Four Seasons Valley?" Long Ming looked at them as he mumbled,


    He stretched his hand as his Deste Immortal Aura erupted. Those two mighty weapons with tremendous pressure suddenly became quiet as they gentlynded on Long Ming''s palm.


    " Eh?"


    Long Ming''s eyes twitched when he saw that. One moment ago, they were like two fierce beasts, growling and threatening Long Ming. However, in the next moment, they are acting cute like pet animals.


    '' Don''t you guys have any pride or shame? You all are Imperial grade weapons." Long Ming mumbled. But then, he thought about his Deste Immortal Aura and felt that might be the reason.


    Not to mention, he felt like his Deste Immortal Aura was absorbing some sort of energy from these two Imperial weapons.


    But after seeing no further change, Long Ming tossed them back. Then, his gaze fell on the crates on the side, filled with various misceneous treasures.


    This treasure trove was enough to revitalize the entire Four Seasons Valley. However, Long Ming wasn''t going to give everything away at all.


    '' Let''s take one step at a time.''


    Long Ming''s eyes brightened when he saw a bright blue colored crystal bracelet hovering in the middle.


    " That looks like a Noble Grade Space type artifact. I am sure that can easily contain all the items here." Long Ming walked to it and he touched it. The bracelet buzzed as a storm of light swept inside that and he got everything he desired, its time to go back.


    room.


    All the treasures and weapons got sucked into it, leaving the cave empty. But it was not really empty.


    " Ah, There is still a spiritual pool in the end. Cultivating there is ten times faster than outside. I should keep this as a cultivation spot." Long Ming chuckled as he turned around. Since it was alreadyte and he got everything he desired, its time to go back.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    When Long Ming came outside, it was already dawn. He hurried back to the flying boat as he saw Ming Yuexin practicing her sword.


    " Good Morning, Brother Long. Did you finish your work?"


    Unlike her previous times, Ming Yuexin didn''t speak with coldness anymore. In fact, her tone was mixed with love and affection.


    Long Ming looked at her as he smiled. " Good Morning, Sister Ming. I guess you are already practicing early in the morning? You are sure diligent."


    " Hehe, I have to, As the sole disciple of Grand Elder, I need to be diligent and hardworking." Ming Yuexin chuckled. " I think I am feeling better after practicing the correct Scorching Summer Flowing Energy Art. At this rate, I mightprehend Sword Intent."


    " But then, I feel some kind of barrier stopping me. Some kind of thinyer of barrier¡­"


    Long Ming looked at Ming Yuexin as he suddenly got an idea. " Sister Ming, would you like to have a spar with me?"


    " Eh? Sure. Who knows, Maybe I will be enlightened?" Ming Yuexin nodded happily. " Let''s only use our swordprehension and not our cultivation."


    Long Ming nodded as he gripped his sword hilt. " Sword Reflection!"


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes narrowed as she saw Long Ming''s hand turning into a blur. The sword disappeared from the sheath as a sharp wind blew.


    Ming Yuexin''s sword moved as she blocked Long Ming''s attack. "Your attack was pretty fast. But it''s not enough."


    " Really?"


    Long Ming grinned as his sword shed. Ming Yuexin''s eyes widened as Long Ming pressed forward. His sword moved like a whirlwind as he charged toward Ming Yuexin.


    *CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG!*


    Ming Yuexin was amazed by the swordy of Long Ming as both of their speed pushed forward.


    '' Such a powerful sword aura, uncontaminated by any other techniques. I feel like, his sword aura is on the verge of condensing into Sword Qi." Ming Yuexin was shocked when she fought with Long Ming.


    Suddenly, Long Mig''s sword twisted as it vanished from the sight of Ming Yuexin. Ming Yuexin was shocked as she raised her sword to cover her left side.


    However, Long Ming smirked as he reappeared and stabbed toward her waist. His speed was pretty fast, like a silver light striking toward Ming Yuexin.


    " Ah!"


    Sword Qi shed as Ming Yuexin tried to form a sword barrier around her. But Long Ming''s attack became even more aggressive.


    " Sister Ming, You are thinking before acting. The intent should be subconscious. You need to move your sword on your reflexes!" Long Ming spoke as he raised his sword.


    " If you can''t understand your sword''s feeling, how can you understand the sword at all?"


    Long Ming''s sword shone with a blinding light as it turned into a bright energy sword. With a wave, the gigantic sword fell on Ming Yuexin.


    " Feelings of sword¡­It''s intent."


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes turned vacant for a moment as she looked at the falling sword. Suddenly, her sword shone with a zing me as it condensed into a gigantic ming sword.


    The sword soared as it turned into dozen miniature swords, hovering above Long Ming. Suddenly, the ming sword descended as it destroyed his radiant sword.


    The sword emitted a sharp aura, like each of them contained tremendous forces. The swords were like rain of death, charging toward Long Ming.


    Long Ming was happy when he saw Ming Yuexin wa smacking progress. But his expression froze when he saw the attacks weren''t stopping.


    " Wai-Wait!"


    *BOOM!*


    Long Ming activated his Crimson Jade Battle Armor to protect his body. His Scarlet Yang qi boiled as the crimson armor appeared on his body.


    However, the sword intent of a Primordial Spirit Unification realm cultivator was too much for Long Ming to handle. His battle armor cracked as he blew back.


    " Ugh, That was quite something." Long Ming winced in pain as he looked at his own body. Thankfully, the Scarlet Jade Battle Armor absorbed most of the impact.


    The mes dissipated as Ming Yuexin regained her rity. Looking at her burning sword, she was shocked.


    " Iprehended Sword Intent. I¡­ I really did it!"


    However, when she looked at Long Ming, she was shocked. " Brother Long! My god, Are you alright?!"


    She rushed to him and got him up. Long Ming chuckled as he got up. " Well, I saw you are going through a moment of epiphany. Therefore, I didn''t blocked your attack."


    Ming Yuexin was shocked as she hugged Long Ming tightly. " Brother Long, You are¡­ You are so good to me."


    " Oh, Sister Ming¡­"


    Long Ming could smell the fragrance of her body as her two massive pair of breasts pressed against his chest. He could feel both affection and concern in Ming Yuexin''s hug as he also hugged her back.


    [ Ding! Ming Yuexin''s favorability increased! Host gets 5000 AP]


    [ Ding! Host maxed out the affection of An Luan! Host is awarded with an A rank chest!]


    " Huh? What was thatmotion?" Mu Qinglian yawned as she walked out. But when she saw Ming Yuexin and Long Ming like that, she was dumbfounded.


    ''


    No¡­No way! Even Sister Ming is¡­'' Mu Qinglian gritted her teeth as she looked at Long Ming.


    '' No, I have to do something. I have to make my move first.''

 Chapter 73 Surprised Elders! Simple Solution

    Chapter 73 Surprised Elders! Simple Solution


    " Senior Sister Mu, Is this necessary?"


    Long Mig forced a smile as he looked at Mu Qinglian with pleading eyes. Mu Qinglian snorted when she heard that. " What? Didn''t you say you loved training? What about now?"


    She walked to him as she raised her tone. " Or, perhaps you don''t wish to train with me?"


    " Ah, No, no¡­ You are misunderstanding." Long Ming spoke. " But, It''s half of the day has been passed. Must I continue?"


    " You saying you can''t?"


    Long Ming gritted his teeth as he looked at the four iron bracers on his four limbs. They glowed in a faint runic light as Long Ming kept doing stance after stance.


    " These are weighing bracers. They block the flow of your True Qi and increase the weight on your body. Using this, you can easily train your physical body and smoothen the flow of True Qi."


    Mu Qinglian spoke those words before she asked Long Ming to train. Long Ming was surprised at first, he agreed in the end.


    However, When Mu Qinglian adjusted the weight of the bracers, Long Ming''s expression turned ugly. Each of the bracers weighed 500 KG, and they felt like mountains weighing on his limbs.


    Not to mention, Mu Qinglian asked him to perform the Thirty Six Body Rejuvenation Movements.


    Although it was an inferior body exercising method, it bes absurdly difficult when paired with such weights. And Long Ming has been doing it for quite a few hours.


    Seeing Long Ming''s expression, Mu Qinglian''s face finally softened. " Fine, You can let it go. Go and take some rest."


    Long Ming threw the weighing bracers as he fell on the floor. His body sweat shone under the sunlight as Long Ming felt tired.


    " Whooo, It was quite something. I felt like my limbs going to be torn apart." Long Ming panted as he stood up.


    Doing exercise under the sunlight, Long Ming constantly absorbed the Yang energy from the sun and circted the Scarlet Yang Qi in his body.


    To his surprise, he felt like his body got slightly firmer than before. Not to mention, the Scarlet Yang Qi got condensed and refined once again. Just with a slight infusion of Scarlet Yang Qi, Long Ming felt his body filling with tremendous power.


    '' Well, I guess she wasn''t lying at all. Such training really got a good effect on the physique.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    " What is it? Are you feeling ok?"


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as her face was showing some concern. Long Ming chuckled. " I am fine, Senior Sister."


    " Hmm, You should go and rest."


    The flying boat streaked across the sky as Long Ming saw the scenery. This flying boat was much bigger than the one they used toe to ck Pearl City.


    The flying boat looked more ancient and bigger than an ordinary flying boat, not to mention its exceptional speed.


    " Heh, This is a special flying boat, a superior item. It possesses extreme speed and defensive capabilities. However, it really burns 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones per hour." Mu Qinglian chuckled.


    " So, unless it''s a special asion, Our sect doesn''t use it."


    Thanks to its speed, They swiftly returned to the Four Seasons Valley. Long Ming looked at the valley from far as he couldn''t help but smiles.


    " I never noticed, but the Four Seasons Valley looks beautiful from above."


    " Right?" Mu Qinglian smiled. " It''s one of the most beautiful ces I''ve ever seen. From above, you can notice the four distinct parts of the sect, depicting four seasons."


    " The Radiant Summer Pce looks after the techniques and cultivation. The Pale Autumn Pce looks after the amodation, missions, and items of the sect. The Deste Winter Hall is directly under the Sect Master and holds disciplinary power. The Enchanting Spring Pce managed the matters outside the sect and resources our sect gathers along with our rtionship."


    Long Ming nodded as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " About Sister Ming, I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Mu Qinglian''s hair fluttered in the wind as she spoke in a soft voice. " I tried to look for all avable methods, but I couldn''t find a cure for her."


    " However, looking at her previous appearance, My heart is filled with joy and relief. Seeing her smile, I felt like we returned to our good days. It''s all thanks to you, Long Ming."


    " Haha, You are praising me too much. I just did what Master asked me to do." Long Ming chuckled. " After all, I didn''t like a beauty covering her body our of shame and guilt."


    " Is that so?" Mu Qinglian pursed her lips. " Then, What is the deal with An Luan?"


    " What? She helped me, and now I am returning her freedom. It was just an equivalent exchange." Long Ming shrugged.


    " Oh? Is that so? So you didn''t seduce her?"


    " Nope." Long Ming shook his head vigorously. " After all, Do I look like such a person?"


    " You don''t?" Mu Qinglian gave a light snort.


    As they bickered, the flying boat slowlynded in the Four Seasons Valley. Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming and Mu Qinglian as she waved her hands.


    " I have done my work. Now, you guys go and report to Sect Master."


    " Why? You are noting with us?" Mu Qinglian asked. Meng Zhi shrugged. " Nope, I am just too tired. I am returning to the Eternal Spring Tower."


    Then, she looked at Long Ming. " Little brother, Why don''t youe with me too? After all, you should reward yourself after doing such hard work, no?"


    Before Long Ming could answer, Mu Qinglian held his arm and dragged him away.


    " No need. He ising with me."


    " My my, Little Qing is being a bit too possessive." Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " Hmph!"


    Long Ming sighed as he followed Mu Qinglian.


    " Greetings, Master."


    Mu QInglian and Long Ming entered the Four Seasons Pce as they bowed before Xia Yuqing.


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she spoke. " Hmm, I heard what you did in ck Pearl City. I thought I told you to not do anything major?"


    " Well, The situation was ripe. So, I couldn''t stop myself from making a move." Long Ming spoke with a light tone.


    Mu Qinglian stepped forward as she recounted the event. Hearing the deal with Lan Family, even Xia Yuqing became surprised.


    " What? Is that true?"


    " Are you saying Lan Family will give us 75% of Ocenide Steel and Deep Sea Iron every year?"


    All the elders became startled as they looked at Long Ming and Mu Qinglian with shock.


    Even Grand Elder couldn''t help but widen her eyes when she heard the news. However, When Mu Qinglian presented the blood contract before them, all of them took a breath of cold air.


    " Doesn''t that mean the ck Pearl City just returned under us once again?"


    " This¡­This is really a big news."


    " Hmph, I guess you are worth nurturing after all. Since you finished your task, I guess Grand Elder has no objections?" Xia Yuqing looked at the Grand Elder.


    " Well¡­"


    Grand Elder bit her lips as she got up. " Do as you wish."


    Long Ming chuckled as he got up, " Grand Elder, Please wait for a moment."


    " Hm?"


    Grand Elder frowned a bit as she looked at Long Ming. " What is it?"


    " I think someone wishes to meet with you."


    Suddenly, a person entered the hall as that girl bowed before the Grand Elder.


    " Greetings, Master."


    " Ya-Yang Wei? Wei''er?!!"


    This time even Xia Yuqing became dumbfounded when she saw Ming Yuexin''s appearance.


    " Wei''er! Your beauty¡­It returned!"


    Grand Elder rushed as she hugged Ming Yuexin. Long Ming was dumbfounded when he heard that. '' Yang Wei? Isn''t her name Ming Yuexin?''


    " Ahem, Long Ming, can you tell me in detail what happened to Ming Yuexin?" Xia Yuqing coughed lightly as she looked at him.


    " Reporting to Sect Master, I found the wless method of Scorching Summer Flowing Energy Art and resolved the root of the problem in her body. After that, I used medicine to restore her beauty."


    " Is that so?"


    [ Ding! Grand Elder''s affection toward you increased! Hist gets 20,000 AP]


    " Hmm, I guess you aren''t that bad." Grand Elder spoke with a light smile. " But, Thank you for helping my one and only disciple. Come to my abode to get your reward."


    " As Grand Elder says."


    Xia Yuqing looked at them as she sighed. " Long Ming and Ming Yuexin did an excellent job this time. However, currently, we are facing another issue for this moment."


    " The Imperial Tournament is about to begin. Our Sect has been given ten quotas. However, The Zhongye Sect ising here to challenge our sect tomorrow." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " We are going to bet the quotas of Imperial Tournament."


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. " So, Are they powerful?"


    " Apparently, Their disciples are well trained. But their forte is their high-quality weapons and explosive battle arts. And, I am afraid, we might lose some of our quotas." Grand Elder replied.


    " Well, I think I have an idea." Long Ming didn''t take much time to think of this idea.


    " Oh? What is it?"


    " Just reject them. Why must we bet with them since we know we are going to lose?"

 Chapter 74 Sect Master is Acting Cute?!

    74 Sect Master is Acting Cute?!


    The hall turned silent as all of them looked at Long Ming. Long Ming stood with a calm gaze as he looked at their faces.


    " What? Is there any rule that we can''t reject them?"


    " It''s not that.."


    " Wait, He does have a point though?"


    " But what about our reputation?"


    Long Ming snorted when he heard that.


    '' Reputation? What are you going to do with it? Can you eat it?''


    However, those thoughts are buried in his heart. Xia Yuqing chuckled as she shook her head.


    " Well, What you said isn''t wrong. But I think it will be good to spar with them."


    " Fine, you can spar with them. Just don''t bet, that''s all."


    Xia Yuqing chuckled as she waved her hands. " Everyone, the meeting is over. You all can go back. Long Ming, follow me to my abode."


    " Yes, Master."


    Long Ming nodded as he followed Xia Yuqing to her abode.


    " So, How about we go into a little detail? I need to hear everything." Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming and spoke. " Also, What''s the deal with An Luan?"


    " Well, I used An Luan to trick Lan Xiao into believing that there is an Azure Mirthil mine on Coral Ind. Then, when he sent his troop there, I informed his rivals and trapped them, killing both of them in one go."


    Long Ming already has extensive knowledge of herbs and medicines thanks to the Grand Archive of Herbs and Medicines he got from Courting Death System.


    He created a hallucination and sedative powder with them and added a bit of Drunken Immortal Grass, maximizing its effect. After that, he asked the miners to hide them inside the cave.


    When the explosive talismans exploded the herbal bags also exploded. That made all of the lower rank cultivators unable to escape at all.


    When Xia Yuqing heard Long Ming, she couldn''t help but get shocked inwardly.


    " As for An Luan, She helped me to gather intel from Lan Family. In exchange, I promised her freedom and a ce in Four Seasons Valley. I hope you won''t mind it."


    " Well, I understand." Xia Yuqing nodded. " But, How did you manage to persuade her?"


    " Uh, About that¡­" Long Ming scratched his head as he coughed lightly. " Does that matter?"


    Looking at Long Ming''s reaction, Xia Yuqing snorted as she understood what happened. " I see, I guess you are using your appearance to the maximum, no?"


    " Appearance? Master, I think it''s my personality that attracted her." Long Ming corrected her.


    " But, Anyway, Not only you gave a tremendous advantage to our sect, you even saved Ming Yuexin. Tell me, what do you wish from the treasury?"


    Long Ming''s face turned odd as he blurted out. " Is there even anything in our treasury?"


    "...."


    The wind blew as everything turned silent for a while. Xia Yuqing''s expression was calm, but Long Ming got scared when he saw her clenching her fist.


    But then, she took a breath of cool air as she looked at the side. " Yes, What you said isn''t wrong. Looking at your performance, I don''t know what I can give to you."


    " Well, I can." Long Ming rubbed his palm. " Do you know about the legend of our hidden treasury in ck Pearl City?"


    " I know." Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming. " I personally went there many times to search for the treasures. Unfortunately, I never found it."


    " Well, What if I said I found it?" Long Ming grinned.


    " What?!"


    Xia Yuqing stood up and looked at Long Ming. " You¡­ Did what?"


    Suddenly, Long Ming snapped his fingers as high grade spirit stones and True ss Noble grade weapons rained from his blue bracelet. Xia Yuqing was dumbfounded when she saw the scene.


    Using her divine sense, she felt it was around twenty million High grade spirit stones along with many Noble grade weapons. Just the amount of spirit stones is ten times higher than their treasury.


    But looking at Long Ming''s expression Xia Yuqing was startled. " There is more?"


    " Well¡­"


    Long Mingughed as he released the Royal grade weapons. When they appeared, the room filled with their sharp auras. However, Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming.


    " Then, I guess you also got them, didn''t you?"


    " Got what?"


    " Imperial Weapons."


    " Did I?" Long Ming chuckled. " Hmm, Who knows?"


    " Long Ming, I hope you understand how important the Imperial Weapons are for the sect." Xia Yuqing spoke in a serious voice. Long Ming chortled when he heard Xia Yuqing.


    " I mean¡­ If someone asks me nicely, I won''t deny."


    Xia Yuqing raised her eyebrows as she looked at Long Ming. " Are you sure?"


    " Why not?"


    Suddenly, Xia Yuqing walked forward and her expression changed.


    " Dear disciple, Won''t you give the Imperial Weapons to your poor Master? Don''t worry, I will reward you *generously*."


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming felt like his Deste Immortal Aura and Chaotic Murder Heart trembling violently when he heard Xia Yuqing''s voice.


    Her voice changed drastically, no longer being the cold and cid voice. When she spoke, her voice was like a seductress, a willful master who was trying to trick something away from her disciple.


    " I¡­I¡­"


    Although Long Ming learned to remain calm in any situation, her voice and expression were alone to crumble his mental wall.


    " Alright, Where is it?"


    " Yes?"


    Xia Yuqing''s voice regained its usual coldness.


    " Where are those weapons?"


    " Ah! Here¡­"


    Long Ming could feel the rising coldness in the air as he hurriedly took out those two Imperial Weapons. When Xia Yuqing saw the wheel and the scroll, she couldn''t help but let out a deep sigh.


    " I see¡­ Those legends were true after all." She sighed as she sat down, rubbing her forehead. " To think a person like you will find it and not people from our generation."


    " What''s wrong with me?" Long Ming raised his voice. " Am I any inferior to other people?"


    Xia Yuqing smirked lightly as she spoke. " Fine, You did a great job. Here, take this token. You can enter any part of the treasury and scripture pavilion as you wish."


    " Also, Other than the Imperial Weapons, you can pick any one of them."


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard Xia Yuqing. " You are ready to give me the Royal grade weapons?"


    " Why? You don''t want it?"


    Long Ming was both shocked and amused when he heard that. Other than these five, only seven more Royal grade weapons are in the sect. And Royal grade weapon is something only allowed to high rank elders.


    " Hmm, I guess currently, I don''t need it. I will ask when the time is right." Long Ming thought for a moment and answered.


    Xia Yuqing was surprised again to see Long Ming managed to put a calm font before the allure of Royal grade weapons.


    " Long Ming, What exactly do you want?" Xia Yuqing looked at him as she spoke. " You have been helping the sect from the moment you came here. But, You never asked anything in return. What is your motive?"


    " Hmm, Now you ask¡­ Isn''t its a gentlemen''s duty to help the beauties when they are in need?" Long Ming grinned.


    " I doubt it. Because almost all those so-called gentlemen will use the opportunity to sneak into those beauty''s beds." Xia Yuqing replied.


    " So, Tell me, What should I do to keep you bound with this sect?"


    Even though Long Ming''s skin was pretty thick, he couldn''t answer it at all. " Well, Sect Master, I think I am feeling tired. How about we talk next time?"


    A light smile appeared on Xia Yuqing''s face as she looked at Long Ming. " What do you think about marrying Mu Qinglian?"


    " WHAT?!"


    Long Ming was shocked when he herded that. " Th-That¡­ I don''t know what you are talking about. Senior Sister is just a good friend of mine. Why would I think of marrying her?"


    " Is that so?" Xia Yuqing fell into thought. " Fine, Let''s see what happens in the future. You should go and rest. The Zhongye Sect ising tomorrow for sparring matches. Your presence is required."


    " As you wish, Master." Long Ming gave a bow and turned around to leave.


    Xia Yuqing looked at the treasures before her as she sighed. " Such a mess¡­"


    " Hmph, You dare to made me utter those words. If not for your contribution...Pah..."


    At this moment, she looked like an annoyed maiden rather than the dignified Sect Master.


    But s, There was no one here to witness it.


    [ Ding! Xia Yuqing''s favorability increased! Host gets 5000 AP!]


    [ Ding! Meng Zhi''s favorability increased! Host gets 5000 AP!]


    [ Ding! Elder¡­]


    Long Ming realized that he was getting a ton of AP after the elder''s meeting concluded. Thank''s to it, he already got 70,000 AP by now.


    " Hmm? What is this?"


    Long Ming saw a product in the system shop he raised his eyebrows. It was called Punishing Crossbow.


    [ Punishing Crossbow: It''s a one time use item. It can ignore the natural defense of a Harmonization Realm Cultivator. Once hit, it will kill that person instantly]


    [Cost: 100,000 AP]


    '' If I spin a roulette now, It wll cost 10,000 AP. So, I need 40,000 AP to purchase it.'' Long Ming pondered as he nodded.


    " Use 10,000 AP and spin the roulette."


    [ Ding! Roulette is spinning!]


    [ Dong! Host gets nothing!]


    [ Ding! Hist gets nothing!]


    [ Ding! Host gets a Green Bronze Grade Treasure!]


    [ Ding! Host gets a bottle of Golden Core Pill!]


    [ Ding! Host gets a bottle of Golden Core Pill!]


    [ Ding! Host gets a Superior Healing Elixir!]


    Long Ming chuckled as he got three White Silver grade and Four Green Bronze Rank treasures. But for him, other than the Superior Healing Elixirs, all of them were pretty useless.


    " Hmm, I should give them to Xiao''er." Long Ming mumbled as he returned to the Solitaray Flower Peak.


    " Huh?"


    Long Ming suddenly halted his steps as his nose twitched. '' Mm? What is this aroma?''


    " Young Master, You are back!"


    Suddenly, Xiao''er lept into his embrace as she hugged him tightly. Long Ming was stunned as he looked at her.


    " Wow¡­"

 Chapter 75 Condensing Soul Seed

    75 Condensing Soul Seed


    Long Ming traced the cheeks of Xiao''er as his gaze turned tender. Xiao''er quivered when she noticed Long Ming''s gaze.


    " I am looking beautiful, right?"


    " Indeed."


    Xiao''er lips came near as she kissed Long Ming once again. " It''s all thanks to you, Young Master. Your miraculous paste truly turned me into a beautiful swan from an ugly duckling."


    " Hey, Don''t say that." Long Ming rubbed her lips. " You were beautiful in the past, and now you are just more beautiful."


    Xiao''er skin was tender, like fleshly white jade. Her almond like eyes gazed at Long Ming with utter affection and devotion. Long Ming grinned when he saw her look.


    " Hehe, Young Master, Come inside. I have prepared a sumptuous lunch for you." Xiao''er grinned as she held Long Ming and dragged her into the mansion.


    " Mm? So many dishes? And they are so¡­fragrant." Long Ming was startled when he looked at the table.


    " Well, The Cooking Sage''s Knife and the recipe book you gave to me really came handful. Gosh, I felt like I was creating art when I used that knife."


    Before departing to ck Pearl City, Xiao''er casually mentioned to Long Ming that she wished to make more delicious dishes for him. Therefore, Long Ming lent her the knife and the recipe book.


    But the moment Long Ming took the bite of the spirit beast meat, his eyes widened from shock.


    " This¡­ This stir fry tastes so good. The True Qi inside it is rich, also the vors are robust." Long Ming closed his eyes as he chewed the meat. " I guess it was the right choice to give those things to you."


    " Hee hee, I wish to prepare food for Young Master for all eternity." Xiao''er smiled affectionately.


    After Long Ming and Xiao''er finished eating food, Long Ming stretched his arms. " Well, That was truly a delicious meal."


    " As long as Young Master is satisfied, I am happy."


    But then, Long Ming held Xiao''er''s waist as he pressed her against the wall. Xiao''er''s breath hitched when she looked at Long Ming''s stare.


    " You know, I am feeling energized after eating such dishes. I wonder where I should vent my energy."


    Xiao''er blushed when she heard Long Ming''s whisper. She clearly understood what Long Ming meant by that. " But, Young Master¡­ It''s still daytime¡­"


    " Does it matter?"


    Long Ming grinned as he held Xiao''er''s waist and lifted her up like a princess. Xiao''er blushed as she buried her face in Long Ming''s arms.


    When Long Ming ced her on the bed, her heart was already thumping wildly. She leaned forward and untied the belt of Long Ming''s robe. Her hands were fast as she quickly undressed Long Ming.


    Long Ming rubbed her thighs as he ced his lips on her belly. Slowly, his lips moved upward, trailing their way through her breasts, her neck, and her lips.


    Each kiss gave Xiao''er a shiver of joy. When she saw Long Ming treating her body like a treasure, she felt her heart melting with joy.


    Xiao''er spread her legs before Long Ming as her face flushed red. Long Ming grinned when he saw the nectar already dripping from Xiao''er sacred well.


    " My¡­You are such a naughty maid. I think I have to punish you¡­"


    " Ahnn!~"


    Xiao''er moaned gently as her body trembled when Long Ming''s fingers traced the edges of her sacred well.


    " Well, Since my maid is so inviting, I shouldn''t say no, right?"


    Xiao''er took a deep breath when she felt Long Ming''s spear entering inside her sacred gates. Long Ming''s arms wrapped around her waist as he made the forward thrust,


    " AAHNNN!~"


    Xiao''er could no longer contain her moans as Long Ming started to move his hips. Each stroke was grinding against her pussy walls, giving Xiao''er the heavenly pleasure.


    Long Ming pressed her underneath himpletely as he kissed her nipples. Getting stimtion from both ces, Xiao''er felt like her mind going numb.


    But she didn''t remain idle. She held Long Ming''s body as she also moved in sync with him. As their sweary body pressed together, Long Ming and Xiao''er kissed each other passionately.


    "Mmnnn, It feels¡­AHNN!~"


    Their body shed with each other as Xiao''er felt like she was floating above the sky. When she felt Long Ming''s body heat, it was like oil addd into raging mes.


    " Haah! Haah! Young master, I am about to¡­"


    Xiao''er bit her lips as her body quivered. Long Ming could feel the wetness down there as he saw Xiao''er squirting.


    " Haah! I am so weak, Young master¡­" Xiao''er kissed Long Ming''s neck as she trembled. " I can''t make you cum first. If my sisters of Eternal Spring Tower hear about this, they will.ugh to death."


    " Long Ming''s tongue teased her nipples as he gave augh. " Don''t think like that, Xiao''er. There is barely anyone who can make me cum first¡­ So, You don''t need to worry about¡­"


    [ Ding! Demon Lord of Lust is winking at you. He is asking if you want to try him]


    Long Ming almost turned limp when he saw that message. But fortunately, He managed to pull himself back.


    '' This damned bastard. Can''t I just mute him?'' Long Ming focused at Xiao''er once again as he kissed her.


    " Ahnn! Young Master, You have be so¡­.forceful¡­ I like it¡­" Xiao''er moaned as her body swayed along with Long Ming.


    " Xiao''er! I am¡­"


    " Yes! Young Master! Release it¡­"


    Xiao''er face filled with utter bliss as she could feel Long Ming''s throbbing rod spilling out its essence. The thick warm fluid filled her as she hugged Long Ming tightly.


    Long Ming absorbed a good amount of Fragrant Yin Qi while giving back a lot of Qi in return. Due to the dual cultivation power of Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art, both Long Ming and Xiao''er benefitted.


    " Hehe, Xiao''er, Why are you being like this?" Long Ming grinned as he kissed her cheeks.


    " After all, this is merely the first round."


    ..


    .


    ..


    .


    When Long Ming got up, it was alreadyte evening. He washed himself as he walked to the courtyard.


    " Well, I didn''t check all the treasures inside the treasury till now. Let''s sort it out."


    Although Long Ming gave Imperial and Royal grade weapons to the Sect, there are a lot of things inside his spatial bracelet.


    He sorted through the techniques and discarded everything below the Royal Grade.


    " Fallen Willow Sword Technique, Rapid Lightning Fist, Great Dragon Nine Chants¡­ Huh?"


    Long Ming saw two ancient scrolls and picked them up. One of them was called Thirty Six Great Soul Arts and Sword Demon Imperial Body Art.


    " Thirty Six Great Soul Art is a spiritual technique that uses spiritual qi instead of True Qi. With the use of spiritual qi, one''s perception will increase sharply. Their attainment in alchemy, cksmithing, rune inscription will increase."


    " Also, during the battle, it can cast many offensive and defensive techniques. I think it will go well with my Origin Spirit Refining Art." Long Ming chuckled.


    Not to mention, there are also Soul Nourishing Pills inside a box that can help to increase the power of his soul.


    '' Now, about the Sword Demon Imperial Body Art, this is pretty different.'' Long Ming pondered as he nce through the technique. Strange enough, there wasn''t a single sword technique written on it.


    However, it described a lot regarding the Sword Heart and Dao of Sword. Not to mention, this technique allows one to use various methods of swordsmanship at once.


    Also, the thing that made Long Ming surprise the most was itsst technique.


    There are many physiques that can resonate with weapons, increasing their proficiency very fast. Among them, Seven Sword Illuminous Body was one of the topmost ones.


    The one possessing the Seven Sword Illuminous Body canprehend the Dao of Sword a hundred times faster than ordinary people. Not to mention, while using the sword, their power will increase tremendously.


    However, The Sword Demon''s Imperial Body Art allows one to steal another''s Seven Illuinous Sword Body and use it for themselves.


    Such a demonic technique that can steal another''s physique was simply heaven-defying.


    Long Ming decided to cultivate the Thirty Six Great Soul Art first.


    He took out a Soul Nourishing Pill and popped it into his mouth. Thanks to his Heavenly Comprehension, he quickly mastered the basics of the Thirty Six Soul Arts and began to use it along with Origin Spirit Refining Art.


    '' Heh, Soul Nouring Pill is a treasure that can even heal the soul injuries of a Harmonization Realm cultivator. But here I am, using this as a cultivation material.''


    The Soul Nourishing Pill melted as a vast amount of spiritual qi gushed toward his soul.


    Using the Origin Spirit Refining Art, he refined the spiritual qi along with his soul.


    He kept refining and mending his soul again and again. At first, his soul was like a ball of snow. But now, it was like a translucent orb of ss. After eating three Soul Nourishing Pills, Long Ming felt his spiritual qi overflowing as his soul expanded.


    Tiny cracks spread on it as it suddenly shattered, turning into a whirlpool.


    " This¡­"


    Long Ming was also surprised by the change. But he didn''t lose his focus and fed the whirlpool with spiritual qi.


    Suddenly, the whirpool vanished as the orb of soul turned into a humanoid shape, with a head and four limbs.


    Long Ming felt a deep connection with it as his eyes snapped open.


    When he looked at his surroundings, it was already midday.


    '' This... I already condensed a Soul Seed? Something that only a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator can do?'' Long Ming was shocked.


    Without doing anything, he opened his Heavenly Revtion Eyes as his divine sense spread across the Solitary Flower Peak.

 Chapter 76 Ming Yuexin Showing Her Might

    Chapter 76 Ming Yuexin Showing Her Might


    " Hmm? Xiao''er? You are waiting for me?"


    Long Ming''s voice was calm he didn''t even look behind. Xiao''er stood behind with an awkward smile. " Yes, Young Master. The sparring matches began. Sect Master is asking when you are going toe."


    " En, I was just engrossed in my cultivation." Long Ming gave a light smile as he got up. " I hope I am notte."


    " Haha, Let''s go."


    Long Ming''s held Xiao''er as both of them disappeared.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " So, Elder Lei, It looks like the junior generation of Four Seasons Valley is beautiful. But I wonder if they possess simr skills?"


    " Elder Tong, You should be worrying about the Zhongye Sect''s disciples."


    " Heh, Only time will tell."


    The Zhongye sect''s disciples wore yellow robes with red stripes as they stood before the arena of Four Seasons Valley. Most of them were male disciples, they gazed at the disciples of Four Seasons Valley with greedy eyes.


    " Tch, Even the most ordinary girl here is a beauty. Why our sect is mostly filled with males?"


    " Heh, Don''t worry. We are all going to have fun today."


    Elder Tong was Disciplinary Elder from Zhongye Sect as he looked at Elder Lei and Meng Zhi before him. Looking at Meng Zhi, he couldn''t help but smack his lips.


    " Well, I guess we should start our sparring matches?" Elder Lei cupped his fist as he looked at Xia Yuqing.


    " Very well, I hope our disciples learn from each other."


    " Alright, Then, Shall we bet on the Quota of Imperial Tournament?" Elder Tong spoke.


    " Not so fast. Since it''s just starting, how about we start with spirit stones and materials?" Xia Yuqing waved her hands.


    " Spirit stones and materials?" Elder Tong was startled.


    '' I thought Four Season Valley was undergoing some financial crisis? Therefore, they didn''t participate in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion Auction?''


    '' But they agreed to use them as bets instead of quotas? Heh, No matter what, Four Season Valley is bound to lose.'' Heughed inside his heart.


    " I think that will do. Let''s bet 100,000 High grade spirit stones along with ten carts of Refined Spirit Bronze."


    " We will also bet 100,000 High grade spirit stones along with ten carts of Crimson Jade."


    " Alright, The first match between Inner Sect Disciples begins!"


    A disciple of Zhongye Sect walked onto the stage as he bowed. " Disciple of Zhongye Sect greets the elder."


    Soon, a girl from Four Seasons Valley walked onto the stage as their sparring began.


    The Zhongye Sect disciple was more powerful as his attacks were robust. However, the disciples of Four Season Valley held her fort well.


    But as the match continued, the robe of Zhongye Sect''s disciple started to glow faintly.


    " That robe! It''s a Xuan-grade defensive treasure!" The disciples of Four Season Valley became surprised when they saw that.


    T


    " Well, That''s just our Sect''s basic uniform. That''s not really expensive, you know?" Elder Tong chuckled.


    " Hmph!" Elder Lei snorted when she looked back at the stage.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    The Xuan grade robe provided some extra defense that gave Zhongye Sect a disciple advantage. He lunged forward as his sword shed out.


    " Whirling Sky sh!"


    *BOOM*


    The Four Season Valley disciple sted back as she was seriously injured. She stood there and cupped her fist.


    " I lost."


    " The match ended! Zhongye Sect, 1 win."


    Elder Lei saw the girling back as she couldn''t help but sigh.


    " Elder, I¡­ I lost." The girl lowered her head.


    " You did well." Elder Lei sighed. " You might have won if you also had a Xuan grade weapon."


    " Well, It''s just the starting match. I am sure Four Seasons Valley has better talents." Elder Tong snickered.


    Meng Zhi looked at Xia Yuqing with some anxiety, But Xia Yuqing''s face remained tranquil.


    In the same match, the disciple went with a Xuan grade weapon. However, the Zhongye Sect disciple again won.


    The reason is better techniques and both a Xuan grade defense and attack type treasures.


    " Hmm? I guess the Zhongye Sect disciples are quite powerful. But then, it could be possible that the Four Season Valley disciples arecking in fighting power."


    " In both cases, It is bad for us."


    Xia Yuqing spoke as she looked at her side. " So, You are finally here, huh?"


    " I am sorry, Master. I was trying a technique and didn''t realize that it was already time." Long Ming chuckled.


    " Soon, Elder Tong will be asked to bet the quotas of the Imperial Tournament. Zhongye Sect got twenty quotes while we have ten. They already have an advantage, yet they might gain even more from us."


    " So, What do you think? Can you handle the situation?" Xia Yuqing spoke. " As you said, I can also reject their request. After all, reputation is nothing if your fist is bigger."


    Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at the disciples of the Zhongye Sect. " Let me ponder a bit."


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s pupils shed as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened. Looking at the disciples of Zhongye Sect, he already guessed the next person they send might be a Peak True Core Formation Realm cultivator.


    Long Ming watched the recordings of the previous matches as he looked at the techniques used by the Zhongye Sect disciples. Although they used varieties of techniques, the root of them remained the same.


    Gathering all the information, Long Ming used the Temporal Fate Simtion.


    The world before him turned foggy as Long Ming entered a trance like state. Suddenly, he witnessed the next fight as the Zhongye Sect disciple and Four Season Sect disciple fought.


    However, as the Four Season Sect disciple was winning, the Zhongye Sect disciple used a talisman to defeat her.


    Suddenly, Long Ming snapped back to the present as his forehead was covered with sweat. However, unlike before, his soul was stable and his spiritual qi wasn''t overdrafted.


    " I guess I do have a n."


    Long Ming wrote something on a piece of paper as he passed it to Meng Zhi. " Sister Meng, pass this paper to the next candidate. Make sure that she follows the instruction clearly."


    Meng Zhi was startled, but she nodded.


    When the next fight started, everything happened as Long Ming saw in the vision. The one fighting was none other than Shui Huan, The Core Disciple that fought against Long Ming.


    " She is a pretty experienced fighter. She could have defeated him if that Zhongye Sect brat didn''t use a treasured talisman.'' Long Ming mumbled.


    Shui Huan''s saber was robust as it blocked the path of retreat for the Zhongye Sect disciple. However, at that moment, the Zhongye Sect disciple snickered.


    " Hmph! Let me show you the real power." Suddenly, the disciple jumped as he took out a talisman.


    " Huh?"


    But at that moment, Shui Huanughed as she suddenly vanished.


    " Radiant Saber sh!"


    Her saber glowed with a bright light as she appeared right behind the Zhongye Sect disciple. Her saber turned into countless arcs of light as it fell on her opponent''s body.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    The Zhongye Sect disciple coughed a mouthful of blood as he fell from the arena. Shui Huan sheathed her saber as she bowed.


    " Four Seasons Valley wins this match."


    Elder Tong was startled when he saw the sudden change in the match''s oue.


    '' Damn it, I gave him the Spirit Arrow Talisman, but he still lost." Elder Tong snorted inwardly when he saw that. '' But, It''s good that Four Season''s Valley morality increased."


    " Ahem, Since we have warmed up, how about we begin our fight of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm disciples? We bet two quotas on this."


    Xia Yuqing chuckled as she looked at Long Ming. " What do you say?"


    Long Ming nodded, " Sister Ming should go now. She can handle two matches on her own."


    There weren''t any rules that stop a disciple from ying multiple matches. Ming Yuexin nodded as she walked to the stage.


    She gave a bow as she looked at the Zhongye Sect disciples. The disciples of Zhongye Sect became mesmerized by the beauty of Ming Yuexin as they drooled.


    " Hmph, a bunch of dogs." Ming Yuexin couldn''t help but snort when she looked at them. However, Looking at Long Ming''s handsome face, she calmed down.


    " Core Disciple Ming Yuexin asks Zhongye Sect for pointers."


    "Hehe, I am Ye Zu. Miss Ming, You are truly beautiful." Ye Zhu walked onto the stage as he took out his saber.


    " I guess you only know how to use your mouth." Ming Yuexin didn''t show any courtesy as she took a step forward.


    She pulled out her sword and raised it. Her sword moved as it turned into a gigantic river of the sword, pouring toward Ye Zu.


    Ye Zu''s expression changed when he saw Ming Yuexin was going all out from the start. " Yaoye Barrier!"


    A ck light shed as Ye Zu''s figure was surrounded by a ck colored orb, shielding him from the attack of Ming Yuexin.


    However, Ming Yuexin''s attack was a torrent of unstoppable force as it pushed forward. The ck shield around Ye Zhu cracked as it blew into pieces.


    " Seven Severing Autumn Sword!"


    The wind blew as the sword turned illusory. Her sword moved so fast that even the wind swirled along with it. Ye Zu raised his saber to block the attack, but Mng Yuexin''s sword passed through it like the wind as it stopped beside the neck of Ye Zu.


    Ye Zu trembled as he lowered his weapon.


    " Four Seasons Valley wins the match."


    " Hmph!" Elder Tong''s face contorted as he lost two quotas.


    " Go ahead, I am going to fight for the next round too." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    And in the next round, her Scorching Sword Intent exploded.


    " What the fuck!"


    Elder Tong and all The Zhongye Sect disciples felt their eyes popping out.


    " Sword Intent! Sheprehended Sword Intent!"


    First, It was Mu Qinglian, but now, Even Ming Yuexinprehended Sword Intent. How is that possible?


    The Zhongye Sect disciples felt like they ate a fly as they looked at Ming Yuexin''s peerless appearence.

 Chapter 77 Senior Brother Is Too Cool

    Chapter 77 Senior Brother Is Too Cool


    Elder Tong''s expression turned ugly when he saw the scene. '' Damn it, How can sheprehend Sword Intent in Primordial Spirit Realm! She must be a genius!''


    '' Damn it! Did we just lose another three quotes? We already lost five quotas by now!''


    However, Elder Tong''s expression became calm as he nodded.


    " What is it? Elder Tong, Are you not going to send further disciples?" Elder Lei snorted as she looked at him.


    " Well, Junior Ming Yuexin is undoubtedly a genius. However, She can''t just fight all of our disciples alone. After all, the sect doesn''t run by a single individual no?" Elder Tong changed his tone as he spoke.


    " Why don''t we choose someone else? For example¡­That young man sitting next to Sect Master?"


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard that.


    Elder Tong''s gaze flickered as he long noticed Long Ming''s presence beside Xia Yuqing. However, he was puzzled to see a male disciple beside Xia Yuqing.


    " He? Well, He is a disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Xia Yuqing spoke. " He is the True Disciple."


    "What!?"


    " True Disciple of Four Season Valley!"


    " A male?!"


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt numerous sharp gazes on him, from the disciples of Zhongye Sect.


    " Lucky Bastard!"


    " Damn it! Why did a male got admitted to Four Seasons Valley?!"


    " God! I want to kill him!"


    Elder Tong''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Ming. Although he does have a trump card, it was something he prepared for Mu Qinglian.


    '' However, this is a better chance. I never heard of a male True Disciple in Four Seasons Valley. Therefore, He must be a new disciple. As for his cultivation, even if he reached the peak of the Primordial Spirit Unification realm, he will get defeated.''


    Xia Yuqing looked at Elder Tong as she spoke in a calm voice. " What is it, Elder Tong? Shall we proceed?"


    " Sure! Why not." Elder Tong chuckled. " How about we bet, ten quotas?"


    " Then we will also bet ten quotas." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " What?! Ten??"


    Although Xia Yuqing remained calm, the surrounding elders became startled. Ten quotas are very much for any sect, not to mention Four Seasons Valley.


    The more people can attend the Imperial Tournament, the more beneficial it is for the disciples and sects. Elder Tong gave a cold chuckle as he looked at a disciple.


    Wearing a darker yellow robe, a young man walked forward. His eyebrows are sharp as he held a halberd.


    " Core Disciple of Zhongye Sect, Yan Ziren asking Four Seasons Valley for pointers."


    " Well, Long Ming, You should be getting going."


    Long Ming''s expression remained calm and full of smile, but he was cursing inside.


    '' Damn it! Zhongye Sect! I was just chilling here and you came to provoke me?! Why?'' Long Ming was annoyed as he got up.


    If it was a True Core Formation Realm cultivator, he can easily resolve him. But fighting against a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, Long Ming was unsure.


    However, he can''t back down else it will be all over for him.


    His steps were light and graceful as he waved his Plum Blossoms Fan. With his clothes fluttering in the wind, there was an ethereal aura around him.


    " So, He is our senior brother!"


    " Senior Brother, You are so cool!"


    " Such a handsome senior brother!!"


    Long Ming rubbed under his nose as he could see the AP was flooding inside the system. '' I guess this a good farming ce.''


    " Hah, So, A pretty boy became the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley?" Yan Ziren was ridiculed when he saw Long Ming. Long Ming closed his fan as heughed.


    " Well, They will certainly won''t take an old ox like you, right?"


    " Yo-You!!"


    Yan Ziren''s face squinted as he looked at Long Ming. " Hmph! Let''s His figure blinked as the halberd in his hand turned bright like moonlight. Like a crescent moon rising, it chopped toward Long Ming.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as he looked at the attack. The attack slowed down before his eyes as he used the Temporal Fate Simtion read the attack pattern.


    His legs moved as Long Ming moved sideways as the Scarlet Yang Qi churned in his body.


    " Scarlet Jade Battle Armor!"


    The bright crimson armor made up of energy appeared on Long Ming''s body as he dodge the attack of the Yan Ziren.


    However, Yan Ziren only snorted as he held the halberd and made a full circr attack.


    " Full Moon Rise!"


    *BOOOM*


    The whirling halberd shone with a malevolent light as itnded on Long Ming''s armor. Long Ming felt a tremendous impact as he strengthened his armor.


    However, he still felt his body get jolted back as his armor got sliced.


    " Hoh, Halberd Intent, Huh?" Long Ming narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yan Ziren.


    " I guess you have some eyes.'' Yan Zirentughed. " Yes, I haveprehended the Halberd Intent. You think you can beat me?"


    " Well, Fighting with weapons isn''t the only way, you see?" Long Ming''s eyes shone with a deep azure glow as he snickered.


    " In fact, I recently learned a technique. Let''s see how it goes." Long Ming chuckled as he made a hand seal.


    The humanoid soul of Long Ming moved as it generated a vast amount of spiritual q. His spiritual qi gushed as it turned into an invisible seal.


    see how you can dodge this!"


    " Crescent Moon Halberd!"


    " Soul Shock!"


    *KRRRRR*


    Yan Ziren felt an invisible pressure on him as didn''t dy and lunged at Long Ming. His halberd moved as it crashed down at Long Ming with powerful momentum.


    However, Long Ming only grinned as he snapped his finger.


    Suddenly, Yan Ziren''s body froze as his eyes turned vacant. The entire arena turned silent when they saw the scene.


    " Why Yan Ziren stopped attacking? What happened?"


    " Look at his expression. He looks¡­weird."


    Long Ming gripped his sword as the Fragrant Yin Qi burst forth. The Acquired Noble grade sword hummed as Long Ming used his sword qi.


    " Lightning Shadow Sword Art! Blood Lightning In Clouds!"


    Long Ming felt dizzy as a feeling of nostalgia hit him. He felt like he couldn''t be more familiar than the Lightning Shadow Sword Art.


    The Lightning Shadow Sword Art was something he got from the Infinite Star Roulette from his previous life. However, he never used it until now.


    He could see some blurry memories, a ck-clothed man holding the sword as he stood under the rain and storm.


    The moment Long Ming held his sword, his eyes became focused. The world around himpletely vanished as the only thing that remained in his heart was simply¡­killing intent.


    *CHIII*


    His sword shed with crimson light as he sheathed it back at lightning speed. The crowd was stunned as they didn''t see anything clearly.


    However, the elders became horrified when they saw the scene. Long Ming took a deep breath as he calmed down his heart.


    They all saw a sh of crimson lightning, condensed from Sword Qi. It appeared and disappeared so fast that many of them only caught glimpse of it.


    The moment he turned around, a deep wound appeared on Yan Ziren''s chest as blood spurted.


    " Ah!"


    Yan Ziren came back to his sense as he looked at his chest. A terrible pain assaulted his body as he fell to the ground.


    " AAAAHHHHHHH!"


    Elder Tong was shocked as he rushed to the stage. Hurriedly, he fed some healing pills to Yan Ziren as he looked at Long Ming with cold eyes.


    '' Damn it, Such a powerful Sword Qi again! And what''s with that technique? It reeked of killing intent!"\\'' Elder Tong cursed in his heart.


    " Hmph, You used spiritual arts to attack the soul of Yan Ziren? Isn''t that a bit cowardly?" Elder Tong snorted while looking at Long Ming.


    " Spiritual arts is also a battle technique. If your disciple''s soul strength was weak, you should have given him a soul protecting treasure." Long Ming chuckled as he opened his fan and fanned himself a bit.


    " Yo-You!"


    Elder Tong trembled with anger, but he sighed in the end.


    " Ahem, Since the match is over, Four Season Valley has won the match." Meng Zhi chuckled. " Elder Tong, please forfeit the total fifteen Imperial Tournament quota tokens."


    Elder Tong''s face turned ugly when he heard that. Their Zhongye Sect got twenty quotas. But they lost fifteen quotas to Four Seasons Valley. Elder Tong''s body trembled when he realized that.


    " Ahem, Sect Master Xia, Why don''t we negotiate a bit?"


    Xia Yuqing remained silent, but her eyes turned cold. Meng Zhi''s smile also turned wide.


    " Elder Tong, Please hand over the tokens."


    Elder Tong gritted his teeth as he spoke. " Does Four Seasons Valley wishes to make an enemy of Zhongye Sect?"


    " Well, If our enemies are this hypocritical, I don''t think they pose any threats to us." Long Ming''s voice was loud as he chuckled.


    But of course, when he said that, he was in the camp of Four Seasons Valley.


    " Zhongye Sect is really making the name of Righteous Sect shine. I am truly enlightened."


    Elder Tong''s face turned green when he heard Long Ming''s taunts. " Hmph, Four Seasons Valley, We will remember it."


    " Well, I don''t think we asked."


    Elder Tong snorted as he flung fifteen tokens on the ground. Holding the injured body, he got up and left with his disciples.


    " Long Ming, I will remember it." Elder Tong spoke.


    Long Ming chuckled as he sat on his seat. But his back was drenched with sweat.


    '' Spiritual qi and Fragrant Yin Qi ispletely depleted. I only have Scarlet Yang Qi stored in the energy pool orb.'' Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked at his body.


    Although people saw his using Sword Qi, he hid the trace of Sword Intent inside it. He did it because he didn''t wish to expose all of his strength.


    If Yan Ziren had survived that attack, Long Ming would be forced to use Sky Piercing Sword Talisman.


    '' But damn, They are really a bunch of hypocritical bastards. Your winning is our loss, but if we won, you will just argue your way out?'' Long Ming snorted.


    However, seeing the strength of Yan Ziren, Long Ming was a bit troubled, He can''t always possiblynd a critical hit every time. He needs to be strong on his own, or possess enough power to protect himself.


    " Senior Brother is so cool!"


    " Senior Brother, I love you!"


    Long Ming grinned as he saw a vast amount of Fragrant Yin Qi gushing at him. The AP also increased thanks to his show.


    '' But I guess¡­ I need to use that.''


    Long Ming mumbled inwardly as he opened his inventory.

 Chapter 78 Obtaining A New Physique

    <h4>Chapter 78 Obtaining A New Physique</h4>


    " You have quite some talent. To think you used Sword Qi and prated through the Earth grade armor of Yan Ziren" Xia Yuqing spoke in a light voice.


    " Well, I guess we added another sect to our hostile list." Meng Zhi sighed.


    " Don''t worry. Even a rat will bite back if it''s cornered. If they think Four Seasons Valley is easy to bully, They cane freely." Xia Yuqing''s voice turned cold.


    " However, I don''t think they will like the consequences."


    Then, she looked at Long Ming again as she nodded. " You did well. You should go and take some rest. But before that, I need to ask you something."


    " Yes, Master?"


    Xia Yuqing asked. " What''s with that Spiritual Attack? Can you freely use your spiritual qi like that?"


    " Well, I got enlightenedst night. Therefore, I can use Sword Qi." Long Ming spoke. " As for the Spiritual Attack, it was a technique that I got from¡­ Lan Family''s treasury."


    " Is that so?" Xia Yuqing didn''t let him go. " If you got the technique there, I can see that your proficiency is already reached Minorpletion. Don''t tell me you took three days to reach Minor Completion of a Spiritual Technique?"


    '' It took one night actually.''


    Long Ming spoke in his heart as he nodded. " Yes, I guess that''s¡­true."


    " What? Three days toprehend a Spiritual Technique?"


    " Wait! Weren''t you only in the Sword Aura realm a day ago? Howe you were able to use Sword Qi today?" Ming Yuexin walked to Long Ming as she spoke.


    " Huh? He was at Sword Aura realm a day ago?"


    " I thought he already reached Sword Qi stage long ago and he is merely concealing it."


    " Dan! Don''t tell me reached the Sword qi stagest night?"


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming. Long Ming only shrugged as heughed lightly. " Well, I guess it was also¡­enlightenment?"


    Xia Yuqing looked at the crowd as she spoke. " The event is over. Everyone, please return. I need to talk about something with Long Ming."


    The disciples and elders nodded as they returned. Ming Yuexin gave aplicated nce to Long Ming as she also returned.


    " Now, Tell me. What happened?"


    " Master, Let me be honest." Long Ming spoke with a serious voice. Xia Yuqing also nodded as she was eager to hear more.


    " I am actually one in a thousand year genius."


    Xia Yuqing was stunned for a moment as her face hardened.


    " I guess you need some discipline and self reflection in the Cave of Silence."


    " Wait, Wait!" Long Ming hurriedly spoke. " I am telling the truth. Like, Can''t you see myprehension power? I canprehend any type of technique thanks to my ability."


    Xia Yuqing paused as she looked at Long Ming. What he was saying wasn''t far from her own spections. After all, when Long Ming reached the Minor Completion in Crimson Pearl Revolution Art, she already realized hisprehensive power.


    " Fine, I will believe you for now." Xia Yuqing spoke. " However, you better be prepared. The selections of the Imperial Tournament have already begun. Since we already have twenty five quotas now, we got more time for preparation."


    " Two weeks. You have two weeks before Imperial Tournament. So better utilize this time wisely."


    " As you say, Master."


    Xia Yuqing nodded as she gave him a quick nce.


    " Also, Don''t hesitate toe to me if you have any doubts. I will not feel good if you keep calling me master while not getting anything from me in return."


    Long Ming was startled when he heard Xia Yuqing. Although she appeared to be cold, it looks like she cares about her disciples a lot.


    " I understand, Master."


    Xia Yuqing let out a light sigh when she saw Long Ming leaving.


    After Long Ming returned, Xiao''er greeted him in her usual way. However, Long Ming was busy this time. After bidding her goodbye, He went straight to the Sect''s Scripture Pavilion and Treasure Hall.


    However, This time, He didn''t go to the ces where the cultivation manual and battle techniques aware stored. Instead, he went to the section of rune inscription and alchemy techniques.


    Although Four Seasons Valley has been weakened a lot, their ancestral heritage is still here. Not to mention, the preservation of supplementary techniques is better than cultivation manuals and battle techniques.


    " Basic Control of Alchemical Fire! Learn! Three Ways of Pill Condensation! Learn! Spirit Cauldron Controlling Art! Learn!"


    Long Ming used his Skill Learn skill to rapidly understand the techniques. After going through the techniques, he sat in a ce and closed his eyes.


    '' The alchemists can be considered as a powerful pir of any sect. Without them, a sect can never be too powerful. Not to mention, it''s one of the most money making professions.''


    '' Condense True Qi to make mes. Use the mes to heat the cauldron. Add a proportional amount of herbs and maintain their refinement by spiritual qi. In alchemy, one needs proficient usage of both True Qi and Spiritual Qi.''


    After quite some time, Long Ming opened his eyes as he puffed out a breath of turbid air.


    '' Although Sect''s alchemical foundation is stable, one can never know what will happen next. Therefore, I need to be prepared.''


    Thinking that Long Ming also borrowed books about Rune Inscriptions and returned to his abode.


    '' Now, Let''s see what this thing can do.''


    [ Ding! Host got the Random Royal grade Physique Orb! Are you willing to use it?]


    " Yes."


    Suddenly, that orb broke and turned into particles of multicolored light as it rushed inside Long Ming''s body.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt his body filling with a sudden wave of powerful energy as his expression changed. The sudden crash of energy almost made his body jolt.


    As the energy increased, Long Ming''s pain also increased.


    With his sharp divine sense, he could feel the powers of endless things. Fire, water, earth, metal, wood, lightning¡­ He could feel the power of myriads of grand dao rampaging through his body.


    [ Ding! Host acquired Spatial Light Physique!]


    '' Spatial Light Physique? Is it a space type physique? Doesn''t that mean I hit a jackpo-''


    [ Warning! Host''s unknown physique is reacting! Host''s unknown physique is devouring the Spatial Light Physique!]


    [ Ding! Host''s physique is evolving!]


    " !!!"


    Before Long Ming could understand anything, he felt his senses are getting dull. Even when he used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, all he could see was a dark colored power swirling around him.


    When Long Ming opened his eyes, he was in a familiar ce, absolute nothingness.


    '' Where am I?''


    Long Ming tried to speak, but his voice didn''t appear in the absolute darkness. He could only hear his thoughts as his five senses were the same as a pebble dropping in the ocean.


    '' This ce¡­ I remembering here when I practiced the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method. But to think I will return here again.''


    Long Ming tried to walk and explore around. But his senses were so dull that he couldn''t understand if he is walking or staring at the same ce.


    There was no sense of time, no source of light, no feeling of atmosphere, or any passage of space. It felt infinitely void, no matter where you feel.


    '' Nether Dragon¡­Concealment¡­Void¡­'' Long Ming realized that he is missing something.


    '' System said my physique is evolving. Evolution can only happen when it meets certain criteria. My Spatial Light Physique got devoured.''


    '' The secret of Shadow Dragon Breathing Method is concealment¡­ To conceal, you need to devour this thing and make it your own.''


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s mind jolted.


    '' This ce¡­ Is it not the same as a ck hole? All devouring and infinite darkness?''


    '' Nether Dragon¡­ Concealment¡­Void¡­ Devour!''


    Suddenly, Long Ming realized something as he closed his eyes. '' How can nothingness devour me if I devour it in the first ce?''


    '' Devour!''


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt a giant moving force around him, like a gigantic dragon circling around him. The movement became faster and faster as a faint crack of light appeared.


    Suddenly, light a pir of lightning illuminated the sky, and the entire nothingness brightened. Long Ming could see the cosmos, the stars and thes, the realms, and the abyss.


    He could see numerous beings wandering in the void, some of them ruling thes. There are an infinite amount of them, each possessing tremendous power.


    The swirling power increased as Long Ming created a whirlpool or light and darkness that was capable of devouring and controlling everything.


    The universalw hummed as Long Ming could feel the insights of myriads of grand dao.


    His body got devoured by darkness, but then, the darkness gout was devoured by light, which recreated his body. The process continued till Long Ming could harmonize both light and darkness.


    [ Ding! Host''s body limits vanishing! Host''s realm shackle is vanishing! Host obtained a new physique!]


    [ Physique grade detected! Ancient Heaven ss]


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Everyone in the Four Seasons Valley got shocked as they looked at the sky. The dark cloud swirled as it turned into a vortex. Amidst the vortex, there was an iparable clear blue sky.


    However, that piece of clear sky gave tremendous oppression, like the vault of heaven weighing on them.


    *CRACKLE CRACKLE!*


    " Lightning Tribtion! Why there is lightning tribtion here!"


    " No, That''s not lightning tribtion! It''s something different."


    Xia Yuqing also came out of her abode as she looked at the sky. Long Ming opened his eyes as he looked at the blue dome of heaven before him.


    It reflected in his azure Heavenly Revtion Eyes, like two mirrors creating infinite reflection.


    " Xiao''er, Go away."


    Xiao''er was already nervous when she saw the phenomenon. Hearing Long Ming she retreated to a safe zone.


    '' This is a new physique, right?'' Long Ming looked at the sky as he smiled.


    " Let it be named as¡­ Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique"


    *BOOOOOM*


    Along with gigantic lightning, a pir of golden light descended on Long Ming as a sonorous dao rhythm spread across the entire Four Seasons Valley.


    A gigantic ck dragon rose from Long Ming''s body as it coiled around the golden pir and soared to the sky. The grand dao flowed like a river as the dark dragon basked in it.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " This¡­ What sort of phenomenon is this?!"


    " Physique phenomenon? Did someone awaken an Imperial Physique?"


    " The pressure is too big!"


    A man sitting on a throne became shocked as his golden robe fluttered. " Check it out! Where is it from!"


    .


    .


    .


    In a faraway tower, an old man was drinking tea calmly before he trembled violently.


    " The Descending River of Grand Dao? Who created such a phenomenon?"


    .


    .


    .


    On a forward ind, an old woman was sitting amidst the arrays. The arrays shed as she looked above.


    " The stars and shifting and the daos are moving. The new era is here."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    But Long Ming was oblivious to such things as he could feel the golden pir of light was thoroughly absorbed by his body and Deste Immortal Aura.


    [ Ding! Deste Immortal Aura upgraded!]

 Chapter 79 Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique

    <h4>Chapter 79 Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique</h4>


    Long Ming looked at the sky as he saw the ck dragon coiling around the golden pir of light.


    The golden light and lightning fell on its body, giving its pitch ck scales a divine shine. Like a infinite void absorbing light, the dragon devoured everything around it.


    Soon, the cloud dispersed as the golden pir of light vanished as well. Long Ming saw the dragon dancing around the sky as it returned to his body.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    His dantian churned as he saw a pitch ck vortex forming in the middle of his Nine Celestial Pirs. His foundation trembled as the Fragrant Yin Qi and Scarlet Yang Qi swirled around the vortex.


    '' I feel my dantian expanded quite a bit, Not to mention, I feel like I might able to breakthrough into True Core Formation Realm.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    " Alright, System, Can you tell me the power of my Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique?"


    [ Ding! Unable toprehend. Since Host cultivated it, Host should find on his own]


    " Tch."


    Long Ming was speechless when he heard that. '' Well, What can I even say? Find of my own?''


    Long Ming stood up and looked at his surroundings. The courtyard was in shambles as the area around him was almost destroyed.


    '' It said that it devoured Spatial Light Physique, which is a Royal grade Physique. Since it devoured¡­''


    Long Ming closed his eyes as he tried to focus on his dantian. He tried to activate his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    It was subtle, but Long Ming felt a type of information filling his mind. It was as if he suddenly understood everything about the Spatial Light Physique,


    '' My Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique is working together with my Supreme Comprehension Heart and Heavenly Revtion Eyes. If I think like that¡­''


    Long Ming loosened his body as he mumbled.


    " Blink!"


    *SWISH!*


    Long Ming vanished from his position as he reappeared a few meters away. Long Ming again vanished and appeared in a different position.


    '' Damn, It is exactly as I thought. I can teleport!'' Long Ming clenched his fist as he was visibly excited. But then, he realized the energy consumed by it was also pretty high.


    '' If I use a movement technique with it, It will be the same as getting twice a result in half of the effort.'' Long Ming nodded.


    He finally understood the power of his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    He can devour and absorb the abilities of other physiques and use them on his own. Although Long Ming didn''t know how many he can devour, it was surely not one.


    People can only have one physique at one time. And if some miracle happens, there might be one might possess two physiques at the same time. However, for something like Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique is simply a bug in the system.


    '' The power of space, I wonder what can I do other than teleportation.'' Long Ming pondered.


    " Young Master! Are you alright?!"


    Long Ming turned around as he saw Xiao''er rushing toward him. " Young Master, Are you alright?"


    Xiao''er hugged him tightly as she spoke.


    " Haha, Are you worried? I am alright." Long Ming rubbed her hair as he spoke with a chuckle.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he saw many pirs of light around the Four Seasons Valley. The true qi in the air trembled as Long Ming realized many people in the sect had broken through.


    '' I see. The golden pir of light was filled with the grand dao of heaven and earth. They are lucky to have some sort of enlightenment and broke through to the next realm.''


    The wind rippled as many figures appeared on the mountain. Xia Yuqing, Meng Zhi, Grand Elder Wu Liang, and Ming Yuexin were present.


    " This¡­"


    Everyone''s expression turned strange when they saw the scene. Long Ming was startled when he saw their expression. " huh? What happened? Why are you guys looking at me like this?"


    Xia Yuqing and Ming Yuexin turned around their head with blush. Wu Liang felt awkward. Only Meng Zhi was gazinga t him intently.


    " My, I didn''t know that little brother wil show his body in full glory."


    At that moment, Long Ming looked below as his face turned pale.


    He was standing naked, stark naked.


    '' Fuck, The clothes must be destroyed during that process!''


    Long Ming hurriedly took out a robe and wrapped it around his body. " Ahem, Disciple Long Ming asks for forgiveness."


    Xia Yuqing coughed lightly as she looked at Long Ming. However, the rosy tint was still on her cheeks.


    '' That phenomenon¡­ Did you awaken your physique?''


    " Well, It looks like¡­ But I am not sure." Long Ming decided the give a vague answer.


    " Impossible! Such phenomenon only appears when powerful physique gets awakened." Wu Liang shook her head.


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she remained silent. " Grand Elder, I guess we should give him some time to adjust himself."


    " Also, Thanks to that, Three elders and two of our disciples broke through to the next stage. Here, Take this."


    Long Ming caught a bottle as he opened it. " This is¡­ Primordial Spirit Refining Pill?"


    " Yes, This is an essential medicine for the Primordial Spirit Unification realm. There are twenty pills inside. If you need more, you can ask me."


    " Hmm, Yes. You can alsoe to me." Wu Liang reminded him as she turned around and left.


    " I hope you exin things to me afterward. Also, you better remain dressed when we meet again." Xia Yuqing uttered as she turned around and left.


    [ Ding! Xia Yuqing''s favorability increased a bit! Host gets 1000 AP!]


    " What is it, Sister Meng? Are you not going to leave?" Long Ming chuckled.


    " Well, I was thinking that too. But looking at the state of the courtyard, it will take a day or two to repair it." Meng Zhi chuckled. " How about youe to Eternal Spring Tower for a night or two? I think you will like it there."


    " He is not going there."


    A voice echoed as it silenced Meng Zhi. No doubt, it was Xia Yuqing. Meng Zhi grinned as she nodded. " Well, Of course. I was just teasing him."


    '' Don''t worry, You can just sneak out of the sect ande there.'' Meng Zhi whispered. Long Ming was speechless when he heard that.


    " Anyway, I guess I should leave."


    Long Ming looked at the departing figure of Meng Zhi as he sighed. " What a seductress."


    " Young Master, I think I am also going to reach True Core Formation Realm." Xiao''er spoke. Long Ming was startled as he gave her a bottle of Golden Core Pill.


    " Take this token and go to a cultivation abode. After that, you should take this pill before trying to ascend to the True Core Formation Realm."


    Xiao''er nodded as she held the bottle. " Thank you, Young Master."


    " Long Ming, Come here for a moment."


    Long Ming heard Xia Yuqing''s voice and he was startled. After giving Xiao''er the token, he flew toward her abode.


    " The physique phenomenon that happened today must have attracted the attention of all sects. Therefore, You need to remain careful." Xia Yuqing warned her.


    " I understand, Master." Long Ming nodded. " I will try my best to not implicate the sect. But, I have a request."


    " Yes?"


    " Xiao''er, Please make her an official disciple of Four Seasons Valley. She is about to reach True Core Formation Realm."


    Xia Yuqing was startled as she fell into thought. '' When she came here, she was clearly a Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator. But now she is on the verge of reaching True Core Formation Realm?''


    " Alright, I will arrange that." Xia Yuqing nodded. " However, There is a small problem now."


    Long Ming looked at Xia Yuqing with curious eyes.


    " Every year, Our disciples go to the Fragrant City to attend the Annual Wine Gathering, hosted by Ancient Liu Family. They pick the best wine and offer it to their ancestors."


    " You are asking me to attend this gathering?" Long Ming asked.


    " That is one of the reasons." Xia Yuqing spoke. " The other reason is¡­ The Ancient Liu Family is located near Southern Green Mountain. It''s full of demonic beasts and strange things."


    " There is only a bit more than two weeks remaining for the Imperial Tournament. And you already saw the condition of our disciple." Xia Yuqing exined. " Therefore, I hope you train them inside the mountain."


    Long Ming''s expression turned strange when he heard that. " Well, I don''t mind doing that. But¡­ Is Master sure about sending a bunch of beauties with me? Alone in the mountains?"


    Xia Yuqing red at Long Ming, who was now giving a cheekyugh. " You brat! Your mind is always filled with filth. Can you think properly for once?"


    " Well, I can''t just help it." Long Ming shrugged. Xia Yuqing wished to punch him, but she remained calm.


    " Do what you want if you have capabilities." Xia Yuqing snorted as she turned around. " But, I better see progress. Else¡­"


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Master. I will turn the rough stones into beautiful gems" Long Ming chuckled.


    [ Ding! Sudden Mission triggered! Get the first ce in Wine Gathering and Increase the cultivation base of at least half of the female disciples!]


    [ Reward: Increase in Xia Yuqing''s Affection! A noble grade treasure!]


    [ Failure: Decrease in overall affection! Decrease in Host''s charm!]


    '' Fucker! Don''t mess with my charm!'' Long Ming squinted his eyes as he saw the mission. However, in the end, he nodded.


    " Alright, We shall depart tomorrow."


    When Long Ming returned, he was a bit surprised as a grin appeared on his face.


    " My, I thought you wold be busy. What brings you here?"


    An Luan appeared from the shadows as she chuckled. " Well, I am currently new in the sect. There are lots of things I don''t understand. How about Young Master discuss it with me? It''s already evening after all."


    Long Ming grinned as he held t he waist of An Luan.


    " Don''t worry, We will do a in depth discussion."

 Chapter 80 An Luan’s Service! Training Session Begins

    <h4>Chapter 80 An Luan''s Service! Training Session Begins</h4>


    The moonlight shone from the windows as it illuminated the room with a faint silver light.


    Inside the room, one can hear the gentle whimpering of An Luan as she was lying on the bed naked.


    " Haah, Young Master, your touch¡­It has be so¡­arousing." An Luan panted as Long Ming''s tongue flicked her erect nipples.


    " AHHNN!~"


    An Luan moaned when Long Ming caressed her body with his palm. Each of his touches was sending a flood of pleasure throughout her body. It was as if he knew all of the sweet spots in her body.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi pulsed through his hand as Long Ming used the Ecstatic Cloud Palm with all his might.


    " Oh My, Miss An is so excited¡­ Are you thinking about your husband?"


    " Hnnghh!~"


    An Luan clenched the sheets when she felt Long Ming''s fingers teasing her pussy, which was already dripping wet. His fingers slid inside her slit as it made her body tingle.


    " Haha¡­That bastard, he must be sleeping on the bed where we made love. Heh, just thinking about it make my body go crazy."


    " Mm, Your body is so luscious. I can''t have enough of this."


    An Luan closed her eyes in pleasure when she heard Long Ming. She could feel her breasts dripping with his saliva as his lips moved upwards.


    Their lips met as Long Ming''a tongue pushed inside her mouth. She was ecstatic to feel Long Ming''s body heat mixing with her.


    Her legs were spread wide open and Long Ming could see her sacred well dripping with its juice. It was sending an ecstatic invitation that Long Ming could never refuse.


    " Young Master¡­You have teased me enough. I am really craving for the real thing." An Luan whimpered as her arms wrapped around lOng Ming''s neck.


    Her body shivered a bit when Long Ming''s teeth grazed against her neck. " Very well, I don''t like to let ady keep waiting."


    " AHNNN!~"


    An Luan let out a sweet moan when Long Ming''s rod prated her sacred well. When she felt Long Ming''s rod grinding against her wet inner walls, her body trembled with pleasure.


    " Hoho, You seem pretty thirsty, Miss An. I guess it''s natural after holding back for years." Long Ming pinned her down beneath him as he gently sucked her lips.


    His wild thrust along with his gentle kiss gave immeasurable bliss to An Luan.


    The bed rocked as An Luan and Long Ming''s naked bodies shed together. Long Ming held her waist as his speed increased.


    The sweat droplets on her wless skin gleamed under the moonlight as An Luan''s body looked like a piece of art. And at that moment, only Long Ming was enjoying that piece of art.


    " Ahnn! Ahnn! Aaahnnn~"


    An Luan felt Long Ming''s rod pounding her hard as it was hitting her very end. Each of his strokes made her brain numb from utmost bliss. Her moan echoed throughout the room as her legs locked Long Ming''s waist.


    " Hehe¡­Go ahead! Do with full force!" An Luan gave a giggle as she kissed him back passionately. Her lower body twitched as she gave a loud moan.


    " Yess! I am cumming!"


    " Haah! An Luan¡­ I am¡­"


    " Ooohhh!"


    An Luan''s eyes rolled back in pleasure as shey on the bed panting heavily. She could feel Long Ming and her body fluid mixing inside her pussy as it made her lower abdomen feel warm.


    " Haaah! Haaah! Young Master is¡­energetic as before."


    Long Ming rolled to her side as An Luan got up and adjusted her hair. " I don''t know why, but after doing it with you, I felt my bottleneck got loosened. At this rate, I might reach the mid stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification realm in a few days."


    " Well, Shouldn''t you thank me?" Long Ming chuckled. " What we were doing is dual cultivation after all."


    " Does that mean the more I do with you, the faster my cultivation will get?" An Luan narrowed her eyes.


    " Heh, What do you think?"


    An Luan smacked her lips as her feet gently traced Long Ming''s rod. " Then, I am more than willing to do it, Young Master."


    Long Ming felt a light shiver when he felt the teasings of An Luan. " Anyway, Do you know anything about the ancient Liu Family of Southern Green Mountain?"


    " Ancient Liu Family of Southern Green Mountain?" An Luan became startled as shey beside Long Ming. " Hmm, Now I remember, they are a pretty renowned family in Southern province."


    " Their ancestor was a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator who fought for Heavenly Emperor''s title. However, in the end, he failed. However, he managed to create his own city and made Liu Family a powerful family."


    " Currently, Their patriarch at the Dao Refining Realm. Their family strength is pretty high. It can beparable to Four Seasons Valley. Not to mention, they are also a financial behemoth of the south."


    " Hmm, I was going for the Wine Gathering."


    " Then try to get on their good side." An Luan kissed the abs of Long Ming. " The Wine Festival is one of their important events. If your wine can make the satisfied, you might get some unexpected gift."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming caressed her hair as he thought for a moment. " It will be nice to gain an ally for Four Seasons Valley, I guess."


    " Also, I have been with Elder Meng today. I think the resources and expenditure departmentcks too many things. If you wish¡­ I can handle those things."


    " Hoho, You are just here, but already want a promotion?" Long Ming rubbed her lips as he chuckled.


    " What? Can''t do that?" An Luan blinked.


    Long Mingughed as he kissed her. " En, I think I can arrange that. However, once I do that, you will be on your own. You need to show the results to increase your position."


    " Hehe, don''t worry about that. I will handle it." An Luan grinned.


    " But before that, You need to pay up the fee. You know, promotion isn''t easy." Long Ming grinned as he rolled An Luan, caressing her buttocks.


    " Because, By just doing one time, I am not satisfied at all."


    An Luan took a sharp breath as she felt Long Ming''s rock hard rod rubbing against her butt.


    " Very well, I will serve you as you wish for promotion." An Luan giggled.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    When the sun rose, Long Ming stretched his body as he got up. He got quite an amount of Fragrant Yin Qi from An Luan again. As for her, she also felt her bottleneck loosening up, so she walked out early.


    After washing himself, Long Ming wore a white robe with light blue patterns as he looked at himself in the mirror.


    '' Handsome and charming as always.'' Long Ming grinned as he held his plum blossom fan.


    " Alright, Let''s see my dear juniors today." Long Ming mumbled as he walked out of his room.


    His Raging Storm Wings pped as Long Ming streaked across the sky. Soon, He reached the main za where Wu Liang was standing.


    " Aha, You arrived on time."


    " Greetings, Grand Elder Wu." Long Ming cupped his fist as he looked at her.


    " En, You should already know about the objective, right?" Wu Liang asked. " I hope your journey remains fruitful."


    " Here, Take this."


    Long Ming was surprised when Wu Liang handed him a jade bracelet. " This bracelet contains my essence blood power. When you will use it, It will either create a powerful strike of a Harmonization Realm cultivator or a shield of equal power."


    " Use it only when you encounter a grave danger." Wu Liang warned. " Also, the moment you use it, I will also know. So, I coulde to rescue you."


    " Thank you for your gift, Grand Elder. I will remember this favor." Long Ming was happy as he epted the gift.


    Long Ming turned around and saw twelve girls standing before him. Even the one with the most ordinary appearance looked like a delicate flower. Not to mention, there was also Shui Huan who fought with Long Ming.


    '' Seven Violet Pce Expansion Realm, Three Golden Core Realm, and Two Primordial Spirit Realm disciples. And, I need to improve their cultivation.''


    However, Long Ming only grinned when he thought about it.


    '' Hehe, Don''t worry. I will train the girls in a very good way. A training which they will never forget.'' Long Ming smacked his lips as he looked at his system.


    With enough AP, he might purchase some powerful items from the window. Not to mention, maxing out each girl here will result in a treasure box.


    So, in front of him, There are seven Green Bronze Rank, three White Silver ranks, and Two Dark Gold rank treasure chests avable.


    " Well, Greetings, Everyone. I am Long Ming." Long Ming smiled as he cupped his fist.


    " Greetings, Senior Brother Long."


    All of them spoke in chorus. Long Ming could see the excitement on their faces when they looked at him.


    '' Heh, The benefits of having immortal charm. How can you plebians can understand anything.''


    Long Ming flicked his hair and thought while he seems to looking beyond an invisible wall.


    " Alright, I will be in charge of you all. So, Let''s go along well with each other." Long Ming smiled.


    But before they were about to depart, someone shouted.


    " Wait! I am alsoing!"


    Long Ming''s evil grin froze when he saw the figure.


    " Huh? Luo Yingying?

 Chapter 81 Senior Brother’s Teaching Method

    <h4>Chapter 81 Senior Brother''s Teaching Method</h4>


    " Huuh? Why are you pulling such a long face? Are you not happy to see me?" Luo Yingying snorted as she looked at Long Ming sitting on the deck of the flying sword.


    " Who said that? I am happy that you came, Sister Luo." Long Ming spoke.


    " You think I am a fool? Even your tone is insincere."


    Long Ming sighed as Luo Yingying chided. He thought that he would be the sole wolf among the herd of sheep, where he can easily taste all sorts of delicacies.


    But since Luo Yingying came with him, he had to restrain himself a bit. Luo Yingying wore a light green dress with short sleeves, showcasing her beautiful arms under the sunlight.


    Long Ming sighed as he got up. " Well, It will take a day before we reach the Southern Green Mountain. However, we can''t waste our time like that.


    " Everyone, Let me inspect your cultivation and techniques." Long Ming looked at the girls. " I will help you to identify your ws and improve it, alright?"


    " Shui Huan, you first."


    Shui Huan became startled when Long Ming picked her first. She blushed a bit when she walked toward Long Ming.


    " Revolve your cultivation technique."


    " Yes." Shui Huan nodded as she closed her eyes. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as he looked at the energy cirction method.


    " If I am not mistaken, You cultivate the Spiraling me Cultivation Art, right? It''s an Earth grade technique branched out from a Royal grade Technique, Nine Spiraling Sr Art."


    " Indeed, Senior Brother is right." Shui Huan was startled as she nodded.


    " But then, I think your cultivation has stagnated over six months. You can condense the third spiral me ring in your dantian, right?"


    " Ah!"


    This time, Shui Huan was even more startled. It was easier to tell what technique she was practicing with the energy. However, pointing out her problem without anything was even more amazing.


    " Well, The thing is, You are limiting your energy in the Tianyi acupoint." Long Ming exined. " Rather than pouring all me Qi in your meridian, you should divide it into three smaller threads and refine them in the Trinity Acupoints before gathering them into Tianyi Acupoint"


    Shui Huan was shocked when she heard Long Ming''s method. " This¡­ This can actually work¡­"


    " Not to mention, You already reached the peak of True Core Formation Realm. You should try the Spiraling me Qi to slowly refine the True Core. After that, connect it with your Soul and you will reach the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm in no time."


    Shui Huan was stunned for a moment as she hurriedly nodded. " Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother. I will remember it by heart."


    " Well, Next¡­"


    After that, Long Ming checked all the Core Disciples and Inner Disciples. Luo Yingying was amazed when she saw Long Ming''sprehensive ability.


    Of course, Long Ming mastered all techniques he got from the treasure trove. Not to mention, he got a solid grasp of the fundamental techniques of Four Season Valley. With his supremeprehension and Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could easily detect problems and solve them.


    Long Ming also knows about their high level techniques, so with his method, anyone can break through to the next stage.


    " Alright, Last person, Chu Yunli." Long Ming looked at the girl before him as he spoke. Her appearance was simple and she was a quite a beauty. However, there was a sense of destion on her face.


    " Hmm? What is it, junior sister? Are you troubled?" Long Ming raised his brows when she looked at her.


    " Ah, It''s nothing, Senior Brother. It''s just¡­"


    " Chu Li, Senior brother is very knowledgeable. Maybe he can help you."


    " Yes, Chu Li."


    Shui Huan sighed as she looked at Chu Li. " Senior brother Long, I know Chu Li. She is a very hardworking girl. However, her cultivation is stuck in the low stage of the Violet Pce Expansion Realm. No matter what, she can''t move forward."


    " Is that so?"


    " However, her potential is good. Even at staying at the Low stage of Violet Pce Expansion Realm, she can fight with High stage Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators. She can alsoprehend techniques better than us."


    Chu Li sighed when she heard that. " It''s alright, Sister Shui. It''s only because my cultivation aptitude ispletely trash."


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard Chu Li. " You are funny, Sister Chu. No matter how trashy one''s cultivation aptitude is, they can move forward as long as their dao heart remains strong."


    " The thing is, do you believe in yourself?"


    Chu Li was surprised when she heard Long Ming. " I¡­ I do, Senior Brother."


    " Very well, Come here. Let me check where the problem is."


    Chu Li blushed when Long Ming held her palm. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming''s divine sense scanned Chu Li.


    " Hmm? Wh-What''s this¡­"


    Long Ming became curious when he saw an orb of ck light inside her dantian. It was like a leech as it devoured the True Qi of her body constantly.


    '' That''s some high density Yin energy. Unlike the Yin attribute technique of Deste Winter branch, it feel more mystical and sinister.''


    '' However, it seems like it got stuck in the pce foundation of Chu Li. As years passed, the outer cover also became hardened. And this is the reason why Chu Li''s cultivation isn''t improving.'' Long Ming calcted.


    However, What made Long Ming curious was that the feeling of that ck-colored orb was too simr to his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique. Long Ming pondered when he thought of that.


    '' Could it be¡­ It''s some sort of special physique? If that''s the case, it''s at least a Noble grade physique. If she can awake it, her cultivation will soar.''


    Long Ming looked at Chu Li as he smiled. " Hmm, Junior Sister, Although I have identified your problem, I think we better be don''t hasty. Give me some time and I will find a cure for you, alright?"


    Chu Li''s eyes brightened when she heard that. " Thank you, Senior brother. You are too kind."


    " Alright, After this session, I will show you the basics of swordsmanship." Long Ming took out his sword and spoke. " Since the majority of you are sword users, you might able to grasp the essence of my teaching."


    " Let''s start from Sword Aura. If you use the sword aura like¡­"


    Time passed as Long Ming was engrossed in teaching the disciples. All of them became enraptured by the teachings of Long Ming. His teaching process was simple, it contained profound meaning behind it.


    " Alright, Since it''s the first day, I don''t wish to overwhelm you with information. All of you can go and take some rest." Long Ming stretched his body as he spoke.


    " Ah? It ended already?"


    " My god! I was so enraptured that I didn''t notice when the time passed!"


    " Senior brother''s theories are so profound. However, I think I understood somewhat of it."


    " Hehe, I might reach the next stage of my sword technique at this rate."


    Luo Yingying was also stunned when she heard Long Ming''s theories standing there.


    " Wow, I didn''t know yourprehension of techniques is that deep." Luo Yingying spoke to Long Ming.


    " But that''s good, Nowe with me."


    " Huh?" Long Ming became confused. " What is it, Sister Luo?"


    " I am trying to make a new type of talisman. You need toe and help me."


    Long Ming sighed when he remembered how boring it can get. But since Luo Yingying is asking like that, he can''t refuse.


    " What type of talisman you are building?"


    " It''s a talisman that will allow us tomunicate along with tracking each other''s location."


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard that. " That sounds useful. I will help you."


    Long Ming realized such talismans can be useful in team missions. Not to mention, Luo Yingying was a genius of formation and rune dao. With her, maybe they could get a better result.


    While having a discussion with Luo Yingying, Long Ming also practiced his rune inscription. Since he already condensed the Soul Seed, both the power and control over his spiritual qi increased by a vast amount.


    " Yo-You¡­ Did you manage to create a Bright Curtain Talisman? Wait, How many days it has been since you started learning rune inscription?" Luo Yingying was shocked when she saw the talisman Long Ming made.


    The Bright Curtain Talisman is a talisman that can block the attack of a Peak stage Violet Pce Expansion realm. It was barely over a week since Long Ming learned the rune inscription from Luo Yingying, yet he already managed to create something like that.


    " Well, I guess I am just a genius?" Long Ming grinned.


    " Hmph! Let''s focus on the fifth grade rune." Luo Yingying pouted as she pointed at a rune inscription.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haaah! Taking a bath after training is surely nice." Shui Huan chuckled as she entered the pool of bubbling water.


    " Hehe, Sister Shui, It looks like your body has grown up." One of the disciples teased Shui Huan. After all, they are all girls in the bathroom.


    The water sshed as it was filled with theughter of the girls.


    " Huh? Sister Luo, What are you doing?" Someone asked Luo Yingying.


    " Well, I am putting an rm formation." Luo Yingying answered.


    " But why?"


    " Pah, Did you guys forget that Long Ming is also here?" Luo Yingying raised her brows as she spoke. " What? Want to unt your bodies before him?"


    " Bah!" Some of them blushed when they heard that. " I don''t think Senior Brother is such a person."


    " But, If its Senior brother¡­ I don''t think I will mind." Someone else added.


    " Is it so?" Luo Yingying took off her cloth as she jumped into the pool. " But well, I have seen him naked though."


    " What?!"


    " Is that true?"


    Even Shui Huan who usually stays outside of gossips couldn''t help but be curious.


    " Mm, Sister Luo, How was it?" Someone mustered the courage and asked.


    " What was what?"


    " The size." The disciple coughed.


    " The size of the snake."


    Luo Yingying chuckled as she washed her arms. " Well, I think it was thisrge? And it was dangling, not hard."


    " !!!!"

 Chapter 82 Long Ming’s Preparation! Hunting In Mountains

    <h4>Chapter 82 Long Ming''s Preparation! Hunting In Mountains</h4>


    " Th-that is impossible, right?" One of the girls stuttered. " Is it really that big?"


    " Yeah, I only saw such a thing in the novels. I once went to the Eternal Spring Tower. One of the courtesans said that even half of that size is rare."


    Luo Yingying shrugged. " Why would I lie to you? Everything I said was true."


    Shui Huan and others blushed when they heard that. Lin Xie, who was one of the Core Disciples, waved her hands.


    " What? If you guys want, why don''t you sneak into his room tonight?"


    " Bahahaha!"


    " Sister Lin, You are too coarse."


    Lin Xie shrugged. " Therefore, rather than discussing weird stuff, why don''t you work on the suggestion Senior Brother gave to us? Frankly, Myprehension broadened due to his exnations."


    " Indeed, What Sister Lin said is true. Maybe with Senior Brother, we can increase our strength quickly."


    Luo Yingying nodded. " Don''t forget, The Imperial Tournament is near. You sure don''t want to be a burden on Senior Sister Mu, right?"


    " No, We won''t be a burden! We will prove our worth!" Everyone spoke in unison.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming was standing on the deck he was gripping his sword.


    " Hah, After purchasing the Punishing Crossbow, I only have 10,000 AP remaining. However, with this in my hand, I have an additionalyer of security." Long Ming mumbled.


    " However, External items are external. Meanwhile, I need to focus on my own strength."


    '' Currently, I am proficient in both Sword Intent and Archery Intent. However, the utilization is a problem. I have many sword techniques, but I don''t have a single archery technique.''


    '' Let me focus on the sword first.''


    Ming Yuexinprehended the Sword Intent. However, it was due to mixing with the Scorching Summer Sword Art, she obtained Scorching Summer Sword Intent.


    The sword intent of her got the property of both sword and fire. Meanwhile, Long Ming spected that Xia Yuqing might have cultivated Four Seasons Sword Intent.


    However, Long Ming looked at his sword intent and found it was simply attributeless. It was because heprehended the sword without any powerful technique. It was simply due to his supremeprehension heart that he understood the most primal version of the sword.


    '' However, with this, I canbine it with any technique I wish. It''s like a lump of y where I can make any shape.''


    Long Ming took a deep breath as his grip on the sword tightened.


    " Lightning Shadow Sword Art! First stance, Blood Lightning In Clouds!"


    Long Ming''s sword shed with a sharp crimson sh as it shot a thin arc of crimson light. Although it looked feeble, it was sharp enough to cut through anything.


    The moment Long Ming used the Lightning Shadow Sword Art, he felt his killing intent oozing out without any control.


    But Long Ming got no time to think about that.


    His sword moved as it turned into a shadow.


    " Second stance! Hidden Lightning sh!"


    His sword vanished for a moment before it appeared silently before his imaginary enemy. The sword moved like a ghost as its speed was akin to lightning.


    " Third Stance! Hundred Shadow Cut!"


    " Fourth stance: Wind Chasing Dark Shadow."


    " Fifth stance! Lightning Cleaving The Clouds!"


    " Sixth stance! Shadow Lightning Prison!"


    " Seventh stance! Tribtion of Lightning Shadow!"


    All of those attacks were pure physical attacks. The Lightning Shadow Sword was a technique that was developed on Earth. However, when used here along with sword intent, its power grew tremendously.


    There was no shy effect like its name, however, Long Ming could feel an unparallel killing power as if each move was meant to take a person''s life.


    It was a simple and perfect technique for a killer who wish nothing more than murder.


    The moment Long Ming sheathed the sword back, the overflowing killing intent vanished instantly, as if it never existed in the first ce.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as his understanding of the sword increased a bit more.


    '' Unlike others, My sword intent isn''t just a technique. It''s simply the joined will of me and my sword. I can use my sword as my heart wishes.'' Long Ming sighed as he held the sword once again.


    " Huh? Where is Senior Brother?"


    " He isn''t in his room."


    The disciples were startled when they saw that. Luo Yingying was making a ponytail of her hair when she suddenly thought of something.


    " Don''t tell me¡­"


    With hurried steps, she walked to the deck of the flying boat.


    Long Ming stood under the serene moonlight like an immortal from nine heavens. He held his sword and pulled it out.


    *KRRRRRR*


    His sword moved as mes burst around him. The mes gave off a terrible heat in the night as they shone with a bright light. However, the robust waves of mes riled around Long Ming''s sword obediently as he performed several sword stances.


    Suddenly, the mes vanished as they turned into a surge of invisible wind. The wind moved ording to the sword, sharp and precise. It was like the wind of autumn, cold and dry, but brimming with energy.


    The sword suddenly took a sharp stance as the wind around him turned into a blizzard. The cold wind turned into a snowstorm as the surroundings of Long Ming started to freeze. His sword stances also turned cold and merciless, each sh giving out cold chills.


    However, The stance again changed, the snow melted and the wind turned warm. The water of snow, the wind, and the sword became harmonious. The sword''s stance slowed, but it didn''t lose its power.


    It was as if the flower bloomed and the river flowed, birds sang and life moved, it was the power of spring. Long Ming''s sword felt like became one with nature as he made the final sh.


    *BOOOM BOOOOM*


    A tremendous aura shot out with unparalleled momentum. With a swing, Long Ming created an oppressive pressure.


    Finally, he sheathed his sword and nodded. '' It was good.''


    " Eh?"


    Long Ming turned around and saw the disciples of Four Seasons Valley gawking at him.


    " This¡­ Such a beautiful sword technique."


    " Isn''t that mix of all four major sword art of our sect?"


    " Don''t tell me Senior Brother was using Four Seasons Grand Swordsy?!"


    Luo Yingying felt like her head spinning as she was utterly dumbfounded. " I¡­ I only saw Sister Mu using this technique once. And that was after her six months of practice. However, Senior Brother¡­ Since when he was learning?"


    " Such a sword art, each stance filled with a mysterious essence."


    " We must learn! We must learn everything from Senior Brother!"


    Long Ming smiled as he waved his hands. " What are you guys doing? If you don''t want to practice, go and take some rest. We will arrive at Southern Green Mountain tomorrow morning."


    Everyone blushed as they nodded." Yes, Senior Brother."


    [ Ding! You got +10 AP]


    [ Ding! You goy +10 AP]


    When the morning came, Long Ming was sitting on the deck and practicing the Scarlet Jade Great Body Art. The Scarlet Yang Qi refined from the rising sun revolved in his body and made it stronger.


    '' Finally! I reached the Perfection stage. With the mystical arts of Scarlet Jade Great Body art, I won''t lose to a True Core Formation Realm in a one-on-one fight.'' Long Ming mumbled as the crimson zing qi condensed on his palm.


    " UWAHH! Have we reached Southern Green Mountain already?"


    Long Ming looked in front of him as he could see a vast expanse of green forest and towering mountains before him. Never in his life, he saw such tall mountains.


    He could already feel the rich True qi filled with nature''s energy of the Southern Green Mountain. However, the moment he turned around, his expression turned strange.


    " Why are you guys gawking at me like that?" Long Ming chuckled.


    " Hehe, We are just appreciating the morning scenery, Senior Brother."


    " Hmm, But I think we got to see something even better."


    The female disciples were mesmerized by the charm of Long Ming as they couldn''t help but drool. Along with his calm and immortal like aura, there was also a mix of storage, demon like attraction, a scent that can evoke desires.


    Long Ming looked at his exposed upper half as he couldn''t help butugh. Although he was very handsome and his skin was simply wless, his muscles were well-defined, giving him a masculine aura.


    " Cheh! What are you doing in the early morning? Try to show off?" Luo Yingying threw Long Ming''s dress on him as she chided.


    " Well, I was just cultivating." Long Ming wore the robe as he shrugged.


    " Anyway, Since we are about to reach our destination, everyone gets ready!" Long Ming shouted. " Sister Luo, Have you prepared the thing I asked you to?"


    " Yes, I have." Luo Yingying became excited as she nodded. That was the thing Long Ming helped her to build.


    " First thing we need to do is breakthrough. I hope all of you are having signs of breakthrough?"


    " Yes, Senior Brother!"


    " Indeed!"


    Long Ming asked them to suppress their energy because he thought breaking through on the flying boat might create some problems.


    As long as theynd on the ground, everything will be fine.


    When the boatnded on the ground, everyone entered the forest.


    " Alright, Inner disciples first. Before breaking through, I will give you some pointers once again." Long Ming''s tone became serious as he spoke.


    " Meanwhile. The Core Disciples¡­" Long Ming looked at Li Xie and Chen Yin, the two Primordial Spirit Realm disciples.


    " Catch me three Demonic Beasts."

 Chapter 83 Intense Training Week

    <h4>Chapter 83 Intense Training Week</h4>


    The Demon race is one of the most prominent races across the Primal Chaos Realm. Blessed by heaven, they have a tenacious body and a much longer lifespan than average beings.


    In the same realm, most of them possess more power than any cultivator. Moreover, some of them even got mystical abilities from the heavens.


    However, as a downside, their cultivation process at an early stage takes a lot of time. Not to mention, many of the demons couldn''tprehend spirituality and connect with heavenlyws, making them only monsters with ample intelligence.


    Not to mention, unless they have fortuitous encounters or somehow trigger the power of their ancestral bloodline, they can never reach a higher realm, making them just a dangerous, yet alluring treasure trove.


    They can generate precious materials that are the main resources of cultivators. However, demons can also eat cultivators and absorb their energy as nutrients, rapidly increasing their cultivation without any after-effects.


    In the end, it''s the same vicious cycle where one benefits from the other.


    " ording to the map, we are already at the Inner Zone of the Southern Green Mountain. We can easily find the True Formation realm and Primordial Spirit Realm demonic beasts." Long Ming spoke.


    " However, refrain from engaging with True Demonic Beasts of Southern Green Mountain. Don''t forget, there are Five True Demonic Beasts of Harmonization Realm and the Demon King who is in the central zone."


    " Yes, Senior Brother. We will not disappoint you." Lin Xie and Chen Yin bowed as they disappeared.


    Long Ming looked at Shui Huan and others as he asked them to sit in a circle around him.


    " Now, those at the True Core Formation Realm, You need to¡­"


    The more Long Ming exined the fundamentals, the clearer the minds of the Inner Sect disciples became. Long Ming pondered something as he tried to control his Deste Immortal Aura which spread around him a bit.


    " This¡­"


    " I think I can sense thew of heaven and earth more clearly."


    " My cultivation! My bottleneck is loosening!"


    Shui Huan was the first. She couldn''t understand, but just looking t Long Ming, she felt like her True Qi was resonating with the dao of heavens nd earth.


    " Now, guide your spiritual qi and true qi at the same time. Use the true qi ti refine the true core while using the spiritual qi to connect with heaven and earth."


    " The more you feel the connection with heaven and earth, the better primordial spirit you will be able to condense."


    Long Ming''s voice turned ethereal as his Deste Immortal Aura was able to affect the flow of grand dao. All the disciples were mesmerized as they fully concentrated on their cultivation.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Shui Huan''s aura surged as a purplish crimson me circled around her body. The mes condensed into a ming bird as it entered her forehead.


    A cold air blew as icicles appeared around another disciple. Her true qi also erupted as it turned into an icy flower and entered her forehead.


    " It''s time! Condense your soul seeds!"


    With Long Ming''smand, both of them used their spiritual qi to pry open their soul and refined them into soul seeds


    In Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, a cultivator needs to refine his True Core and condense a soul seed with spiritual energy. The soul seeds are the energy source that will slowly turn into their primordial spirit.


    Soul seeds are in four categories, ranking from lower to higher, they are called: Ashen, Silver, Jade, and Misty. Although there are treasures and pills that can raise a person''s soul seed''s standard, they are pretty rare and hard to find even with an ample amount of money.


    Hours passed and the two disciples'' aura slowly subsided as they opened their eyes.


    " This¡­ I have condensed a Misty tier soul seed." Shui Huan was stunned as she uttered with surprise.


    " I also condensed Jade tier soul seed. I¡­ I never thought I would be able to get past the silver tier." The other disciple mumbled.


    Long Ming looked at them as he smiled. " Very well, You guys sessfully reached the Primordial Spirit Realm. Now, You should stabilize your condition." Long Ming spoke.


    At that moment, Lin Xie and Chen Yin returned from their hunting as they threw a massive boar before Long Ming.


    " Senior Brother, we managed to kill a Primordial Spirit realm White Flower Boar. Also, thanks to your daoistprehension, we managed to over power some other demon beasts. In total, we have three high grade demon cores of True Core realm demonic beasts and a core of Primordial Spirit realm demonic beast." Lin Xie spoke.


    Long Ming looked at them and saw both of them also suffered some injuries. He took out a bottle of high grade Golden Ointment and passed it to them.


    " In the future, I will be happier if both of youre back unscathed. However, for now, you did a good job."


    Both Lin Xie and Chen Yin became happy when they saw Long Ming was concerned for their safety.


    [ Ding! Chen Yin''s favorability increased to 65 (Super friendly)]


    [ Ding! Lin Xie''s favorability increased to 65 (Super friendly)]


    " Huh? Shui Huan¡­.You¡­"


    Both of them were startled when they felt the surge of true qi from Shui Huan''s body. Shui Huan and another disciple already reached Primordial Spirit Unification Realm while they were hunting?"


    " Hehe, It''s a nice surprise, right?" Shui Huan grinned. " Everything thanks to Senior Brother."


    Long Ming looked at the Violet Pce Expansion Realm disciples as he nodded. " Well, for now¡­ Let''s have a little break. It''s already lunch time."


    He smacked his lips when he saw the demonic beast before him. He already mastered the art of cleaning and deboning a demonic beast thanks to the Cooking Sage''s knife.


    Long Ming pulled out his sword as sword qi shot out. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see the flesh and organs of the demonic beast clearly.


    It was only a matter of few minutes before Long Mingpletely cleaned the corpse and separated its core, carcass, bones, and flesh.


    " The core, the horns, the carcass, and the blood are very important. As for the meat, we are going to have a feast." Long Ming grinned.


    " Also, Sister Luo, Take these three cores and some High grade spirit stones and create a protective formation around us."


    " Hmm, A Primordial Spirit grade demon core as center and two True Core realm demon core as side¡­ I can create a Duality Concealment Formation." Luo Yingying nodded.


    " Waaaa! What''s with this aroma!"


    " Could it be¡­ Senior Brother also knows how to cook?"


    Long Ming created a spiritual me with his Scarlet Yang Qi and burnt the fragrant woods dipped with wine. He controlled the me that was burning with wood and wine and roasted the boar meat with seasonings.


    With another fire ce, he also cooked some rice as he worked simultaneously.


    It took half an hour for Luo Yingying to set up the formation. But when she returned, a rich aroma entered her nostril, making her salivate.


    " Alright, The dish is ready." Long Ming smiled. " Roasted pork with spicy and saucy dipping curry and fragrant rice."


    " This¡­" Luo Yingying''s eyes widened in shock when she took a bite.


    " Oh my god! This¡­ This is even tastier than the cooking department!"


    " The meat is filled with such a rich amount of true qi! Not to mention, Senior brother also added some medicinal herbs in it."


    " Huh?"


    As they devoured the food prepared by Long Ming, some of the disciples were startled showing signs of breaking through.


    Two mid stage Violet Pce Expansion Realm disciples reached the High stage and a Highs tage disciple reached the Peak stage.


    " Well, You all are eating a Primordial Spirit realm demon beast''s meat, who already lived for thousands of years. Of course, its meat is like medicinal pills for you."


    " However, you are also talented enough to use this opportunity to break through." Long Ming exined as he ate.


    '' Mm, This is some real fucking delicious food. I love this world. I need to taste the meat of each demon beast.'' Long Ming mumbled.


    All the disciples felt Long Ming was not only charming but also very reliable After having their stomachs full, they all took a short rest.


    When they woke up, Long Ming distributed them metal bracelets.


    " Eh? Isn''t this training bracers? The one that increases the weight on us and reduces the flow of true qi?"


    " Indeed."


    Long Ming nodded. " Now, In the daytime, I am going to oversee your physical training while during nighttime, I am going to focus on your spiritual training."


    *Day 1*


    " Haah! Haah! Senior brother, No more¡­"


    " I am tired, Senior brother!"


    Long Ming held a wooden stick his expression was serious. " Get up and fight back. If you can''t endure three strikes from me, there will be no meal for you."


    *Day 2*


    " Kyahhh! Senior Brother is beating everyone again!"


    " Think about his food! Everyone, hold yourself together!"


    " I must persist for food!"


    *Day 5, Night*


    '' Ahhhh! Ghost! Ghost!"


    " Bugs! Why there are so many bugs!"


    " Senior Brother''s illusion arts are so scary!"


    *Day 7*


    " Senior brother, I aming!!"


    " We areing too!"

 Chapter 84 Strange Situation

    <h4>Chapter 84 Strange Situation</h4>


    Long Ming and the girls spent seven days in the inner circle of Southern Green Mountain. Long Ming realized that other than two out of twelve, all other girls used swords as weapons.


    Long Ming used hisprehension of sword intent and fought with them in the morning. It was pure training of physical ability and true qi maniption. With the added Weighing Bracers, all of the poor girls got beaten by Long Ming''s wooden sword.


    After that, Long Ming would give them missions to hunt demonic beasts.


    Long Ming divided the group of ten into two groups of five. While Chen Yin and Lin Xie led each of their group, both had two True Core Formation Realm and three Violet Pce Expansion Realm disciples under them.


    Long Ming realized that increasing personal strength is good, but a good team can tackle even arger threat by themselves.


    After studying some scriptures which he got from the treasure vault of ck Pearl City, Long Ming spent three days and three nights creating the battle formation.


    Currently, Long Ming gave them the task of hunting a Thousand year old Steel Back Rhino which got the same power as a Mid grade Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator.


    Not to mention, its defense is something even a High grade Primordial Spirit realm cultivation can''t break through easily.


    Lin Xie shouted when the rhino charged at them. " Sisters, stay in the formation. Follow the instruction of Senior Brother!"


    Since Lin Xie was the most powerful among the group, she stayed in the front and assaulted the rhino directly. Meanwhile, Shui Huan and the other two remained by Lin Xie''s side as they supported her.


    *ROOAAAR*


    The rhino was more than thirty meters in height and its body shone with a pale silver color. It raised its horn and charged toward the group. The horn shone with an oppressive light as a beam shot out from it.


    " Hurry up and block!"


    Lin Xie and Shui Huan along with other True Core Formation realm cultivators raised their swords as it created a barrier around the. Their sword shone as the beam hit the barrier.


    " Sister Lin, we are ready! You can go ahead and attack."


    Three three Violet Pce Expansion Realm girls charged forward as their swords shone with cold lights.


    " ming Sword sh!"


    " Gentle Wind Cut!"


    *ROOAAR*


    The rhino growled as its horn shone again. Stomping its feet on the ground, it charged at the Violet Pce Expansion Realm disciples.


    The trio hurried and retreated, giving Lin Xie and Shui Huan the forward position. Since the rhino got distracted, Shui Huan and Lin Xieunched a pincer attack.


    " Bone Freezing Icy Rays!"


    The rhino got enough intelligence to notice that Lin Xie is the biggest threat to it. Therefore, he focused on Lin Xie, giving Shui Huan and others a chance.


    However, Lin Xie smiled as both of her palms shone with an icy light. She didn''t want to attack the rhino in the first ce.


    Suddenly, a cold whirlwind swirled as the rhino''s skin shone. Although it blocked the cold prating, it realized that its feel got covered with snow, making its movement turn slow.


    " Now! At its neck!" Shu Huan''s saber zed with a zing light as a giant saber of me condensed, hacking toward the rhino''s neck.


    The rhino became startled as he realized he fell into a trap. It roared as it''s steel colored skin hardened and it tried to block the attack of Shui Huan.


    " Don''t let it!"


    " Block!"


    All the disciples attacked the rhino from all directions, not giving it a chance to block Shui Huan''s attack.


    The element of surprise is the thing that disrupted the rhino''s mind, letting it make a fatal mistake.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    The ming saber pierced through its neck, which is a weak spot on its hardened body. The rhino gave a roar of agony as blood spurt from its neck. It turned around and tried to escape, But a giant frozen sword fell from the sky, piercing its head.


    Lin Xie controlled many of those frozen ice swords and threw them at the rhino''s body, finally killing it.


    " We¡­We did it?"


    " We did it! We killed a Thousand Year old demon beasts on our own!"


    All of them became excited when they saw the rhino''s body falling on thrground. Shui Huan wiped her sweat as a smile of victory appeared on her lips.


    " Haha! Senior Brother is so wise. Just by following his advice, our team took down a thousand year old demon beast without much injury."


    Lin Xie shed her sword and took the core of the demon beast. The core of a thousand year old demon beast will cost hundreds of thousands of mid grade spirit stones.


    Meanwhile, Chen Yin and others also managed to kill two low grade Primordial Spirit realm demon beasts who were five hundred years old. Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion eyes as he looked at the situation from far.


    No matter what, without experience, theoretical knowledge is simply worthless. The disciples of Four Seasons Valley must understand the value of life and the thrill of death. Only in a critical situation, they will be able to bring out their full potential.


    " Wow, You are a pretty cruel trainer, aren''t you?" Luo Yingying stood beside Long Ming as she spoke.


    " Have you made it?"


    " Yes, Themunication jade bracelet is finished." Luo Yingying sighed as she stretched her body. " Heavens, I have been constantly refining them for the past week. After many trials and errors, all of my materials are almost finished. However, I made one for everyone."


    " Eh, At your stage, you are still making mistakes?" Long Ming raised his eyebrows. " I thought you can refine bracelets without any failures."


    " Who do you think I am?" Luo Yingying rolled her eyes. " My refinement chances are 60%. It''s already higher than any average runemaster."


    " Heh¡­" Long Ming only chuckled, but he didn''t say anything else.


    Soon, all the disciples returned as the piles of demon beasts'' corpses were before Long Ming.


    " Senior Brother, We did it!"


    " Hehe, I can see that my battle proficiency increased quite much."


    Shui Huan nodded. " I can feel it. With a bit more effort, I will be able to reach the Perfection stage of my Earth grade technique. And after that, I might be able to switch to the Sky grade technique: Hellfire Saber Arts."


    All of them became startled when they heard that. Long Ming nodded when he heard that. " I am d that all of you able to improve yourself here."


    Luo Yingying stepped forward and distributed themunication bracelets. " Always keep this bracelet with you. Within the range of ten kilometers, you will be able tomunicate among yourselves unless there is a strong interfering force."


    " Not to mention, Due to the Wine Gathering event of the Liu Family and the Imperial Tournament, many people areing to Southern Green Mountain to train. We already met two groups of cultivators." Long Ming spoke. " Therefore, you need to keep yourself safe no matter what."


    " Yes, Senior Brother!"


    All of them shouted in unison. Long Ming was pleased when he saw their reactions.


    " Alright, Since you guys did so well today, I will reward you." Long Mingughed.


    " So, What should I prepare for lunch?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    It was already a week since they started their training. The immature aura of the Four Seasons Sect''s disciples vanished as they are filled with resolution. Even those who are weaker than the main force also did their job well as supporting party members.


    The Southern Green Mountain was too vast, vast enough to swallow a few cities like Grand Sky City within it. All sorts of strange and exotic flora and fauna are hidden in it.


    Long Ming not only exined the traits of demon beasts, but he also helped the disciples to learn a bit about nature and medicinal herbs along with their uses.


    Of course, in return, Long Ming''s AP skyrocketed, almost reaching 70,000 in a week.


    They constantly moved within the forest as they slowly moved toward the Southern Green Town, that was under the Liu Family.


    " Huh?"


    " Is that an emergency signal?"


    Shui Huan pointed at the sky as they saw a red re shooting into the sky.


    Emergency signals weremonly used by cultivators who venture into dangerous ces like Southern Green Mountain''s Inner Circle. It was a sort of distress signal that signifies that they are in a dire situation and they need help.


    Any other cultivator who sees it might go there to save them.


    But that only happened in good cases.


    '' No way someone will just rush and save random people who sent distress signals in the wild. This is the immortal world, not Earth.'' Long Ming pondered.


    " Senior Brother, We should go!" Shui Huan spoke.


    " Indeed, We should check what is happening there. Maybe we can save someone''s life?" Lin XIe spoke. Luo Yingying didn''t say anything as she kept looking at Long Ming.


    Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at them. " Wait here. I will go first. Come when I signal you."


    Long Ming was confident in his concealing ability of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique. Not to mention, with the traits of Spatial Light Phsyique, he got a better chance to escape if anything goes wrong.


    Long Ming arrived and saw the scene.


    Suddenly, his worried face turned strange and he almost burst outughing. He pondered something as he used hismunication talisman.


    " Everyone,e here. We got a pretty peculiar situation."


    It didn''t take much time before the girls reached there. They were shocked when they saw the scene.


    A group of men protecting a girl from a bunch of bandits. As they battled, one could understand the situation from their shouts.


    It looks like the group was a group of rouge cultivators who came to train in the Southern Green Mountain. They met the helpless girl and after listening to the stories of bandits and the bounty on their heads, they decided to follow her.


    And then, they met the bandits and the fight broke out.


    " Senior Brother, I heard that the bandits in Southern Green Mountains are very cruel and heinous! We should help those cultivators to kill the bandits!"


    " Agreed! We must kill those scum."


    " That poor girl¡­ We must avenge her."


    Long Ming chuckled as all of them watched the scene from a safe distance.


    " No, No one is going there. And that girl¡­She is not innocent."


    " Huh?"


    Everyone became stunned when they heard Long Ming.

 Chapter 85 Falling Into Trap! Senior Brother Help Us!

    <h4>Chapter 85 Falling Into Trap! Senior Brother Help Us!</h4>


    All the girls became startled when they heard Long Ming''s words. In front of them, a bunch of rouge cultivators fighting against bandits. However, they couldn''t go and help them.


    Not to mention, as Four Seasons Valley is a women''s sect, they have sympathy for the girl whose family got destroyed by bandits. But Long Ming stopped them as they watched the situation unfold.


    " Senior Brother, Although the bandits are greater in numbers, if we help those rogue cultivators, we can naturally kill the bandits with ease." Chen Yin spoke,


    Luo Yingying felt it was unnatural that Long Ming is not going forward and killing the bandits. A strange smile remained on Long Ming''s face as he looked at Luo Yingying.


    " Sister Luo, What do you think? Should we go?"


    Luo Yingying was startled when she heard the undertone of Long Ming''s words.


    '' Why is he talking like that? Is there something hidden under the surface that we can''t see?'' Luo Yingying thought inwardly.


    " Spirit Eyes!"


    Luo Yingying''s eyes shed with a strange glint as she looked at the fighting once again. Suddenly, her expression turned different when she saw the girl crying for help.


    " Strange¡­ That girl, Although she appeared to be normal, her aura nd vitality is too strong. Not to mention, it''s strange that she was still there, amidst the fight." Luo Yingying spoke.


    " If she was really a weak mortal, shouldn''t she escape first? Or hide in a safe distance? Not to mention, her voice¡­ It feels somewhat, unnatural¡­"


    " Could it be¡­ Charm technique?"


    Everyone turned their head and looked at Chu Li, the weakest member among them. She shrunk her head when she felt everyone''s gaze on her.


    " No¡­ That might be a possibility." Luo Yingying spoke. " But, Why would that girl do that?"


    Long Ming chuckled. " Alright, Let me give you a little test. Lin Xie, Chen Yin, and Shui Huan go and help those rouge cultivators."


    " Huh?"


    Long Ming''s words were filled with mysteries as no one could understand what Long Ming wants. But hearing his words, the trio nodded as they rushed forward.


    " You scums! ept your fate!"


    " Fellow Daoists, we are here to help you."


    Everyone became startled when they saw three beautiful girls rushing toward them. Since they wore their uniform, the rouge cultivators thought that the girls might be from a sect.


    " Haha! Look, reinforcement arrived. Little Xi''er distress signal worked!"


    " Fellow Daoists, Let''s join hands and kill them!"


    There are over a dozen of bandits, with five Primordial Spirit Unification realm cultivators among them. Although they weren''t using any high rade techniques, their movements were experienced and refined through countless battles and murders. Not to mention, the coordination between the team was extremely good.


    " Hehe, It looks like our luck is pretty good today. We even managed to get three beauties in our trap." The bandit leaderughed loudly.


    " Hmph, Let''s see where you going to escape." Lin Xie pulled out her sword which shone with a blue light.


    " Frozen Sword River!"


    *CHIII*


    Her sword turned into a vast expanse of an icy tidal wave, crashing toward the group of bandits. It was like a gigantic sword wave of icy power with dense cold energy.


    " Blood Demon Cut!"


    A bandit leader rose as it pulled out his saber. A blood colored qi erupted from it as it cut through the icy wave. Lin Xie squinted her eyes when she saw the bandit already master Saber Qi.


    " Heh, Lass, It looks like you are from a powerful sect. Hehe, But, did you think you can defeat us?"


    " Just having saber qi won''t make you invincible." Chen Yin walked forward as she looked at Lin Xie and nodded.


    " Autumn Wind Nine Cuts!"


    " Cold Moon Arc!"


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin''s movements were coordinated as they attacked the bandit who used saber qi. The bandit''s eyes squinted as he raised his saber which exploded with a blood colored ray.


    " Destructive Blood Wave!"


    His saber qi rose and turned into a blood colored wave. The blood wave rose to the sky and turned into a saber. The sabe came crashing down and met with the attack of Chen Yin and Lin Xie.


    Meanwhile, Shui Huan''s saber burst with raging me as she was like a hunter among her prey. Her movements were explosive and precise. Her saber arts improved as she already killed four bandits of the Peak stage True Core Formation realm.


    " Damn it! Those three are much more powerful than the rouge cultivators!"


    " Boss! Shall we start?"


    " Yes! Start the formation!"


    Here, Luo Yingying and other disciple''s expressions changed when they saw four pirs of light in the for direction so their battlefield.


    " Damn it! It''s a formation! Someone activated a formation!" Luo Yingying''s Spirit Eyes flickered as she cried out.


    Suddenly, a dome of mist covered the entire area as even the fighting sounds ceased from it. Many hidden bandits who were lurking in the surroundings entered the formation and joined the battle.


    " Fuckers! They used concealment talismans! Even that bitch is one of them!"


    All of them looked at Long Ming who looked at the situation with a calm gaze. They finally understood why Long Ming stopped them at first.


    " This is Four Directional Mist Illusion Formation. It is used to trap powerful enemies and dull their senses and movements, giving the weaker cultivator a good chance."


    " Senior Brother, We must act right now! I am afraid¡­"


    Long Ming only waved his hands. " Wait for now. They need to learn a little lesson. There is no way I will leave them to die."


    .


    .


    .


    " Damn it! Chen Yin, Where are you!" Lin Xie used her divine sense, but the mist seemed to block her senses.


    " Hehe, Lass, How are you going to escape now! Howling Saber sh!" The banditughed as her saber turned into a crimson sh. Lin Xie used her sword as it created a blue barrier, blocking the attack. But she could feel that her senses were getting overwhelmed and her thought process was getting slow.


    " Damn it! It was a trap all along!"


    Chen Yin fought with two Primordial Spirit Realm bandits as she cursed. " No wonder Senior Brother blocked us at first!"


    But the situation was too dire since she couldn''t contact Lin Xie and Shui Huan.


    " Sister Lin! Sister Chen, are you alright?"


    Chen Yin looked at hermunication bracelet with shock. " Shui Huan,? Lin Xie, can you hear me!"


    " Yes! I am alright!"


    " I am alright too!"


    " I guess the bracelet is working even inside the formation!"


    " But we can''t see any direction. What should we do?"


    Shui Huan''s mes exploded as she pushed back the bandits. But she shouted. " Just choose the easiest way!"


    " What is it?"


    " SENIOR BROTHER! HELP US!"


    .


    .


    .


    Long Mingughed as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed. WIth his powerful eyes, the formation was no issue as he could clearly see the battle inside like daylight.


    " Alright, ytime is over."


    Long Ming pulled out his Illusory Lightning Bow and knocked an arrow. Luo Yingying and others became surprised when they saw Long Ming using a bow instead of a sword.


    The bow gave off a dreamy vibe, but they could feel a sharp aura on the arrow like it could pierce through anything. A sharp and powerful energy converged into the arrow as the Illusiory Lightning bow crackled with faint arcs of lightning.


    *SWOOSHHH*


    The arrow disappeared the moment Long Ming released it. Long Ming''s hands moved rapidly as he shot out three arrows in a blink of an eye.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The arrows exploded as they created deep crates in the ground. However, the moment they exploded, the mist barrier slowly started to dissipate.


    " Yo-You broke formation tes? Wait, How did you even notice them in the first ce?" Luo Yingying was startled when she saw the formation got destroyed in an instant.


    She cultivated her Spirit Eyes since she was young. It enabled her to understand the rune''s inscription and formation more deeply. Unless you grow your vision and senses to a certain degree, you can''t create or unlock runes and formations.


    '' The Four Directional Mist Illusion Formation is very difficult to make. The nodes were so well hidden that even my Spirit Eyes of Perfection stage couldn''t notice them. But Senior Brother just destroyed three of the nodes in one go?''


    When the mist dissipated, Long Ming''s arrows glowed with a fiery red aura as he shot three arrows at once.


    " I am losing my interest now. Let''s finish it quickly!"


    " Arrgh!"


    " KHEUKH!"


    " Ambush! Ambush!"


    Long Ming''s arrows pierced throw the bodies of three Primordial Spirit Real bandits. Long Ming didn''t intend to kill them, but to render them immobile.


    " Sisters! Charge and kill them all."


    The girls were already angered when they saw their sisters got trapped by bandits. They are even more angry at the acting girl who lured the rouge cultivators and Four Season Valley into the bandit''s trap.


    " Haha, Go ahead and kill do as you please."


    The bandits got panicked when they saw their formation suddenly break like that. The Four Seasons Valley disciple attacked the startled bandit with all their might.


    " The formation is broken! Kill those bastards!"


    " Senior Brother made his moves! We must prove ourselves to him!"


    The bandit leader''s expression became pale when he saw the formation getting destroyed. " Abandon everything! Retreat!"


    " Fall back! Fall bac-"


    Suddenly, a crimson ray shot at the escaping bandit''s leg, exploding his left like into pieces. The bandit screamed in pain as his body smashed into the ground.


    " None of your going to escape." Long Ming drew out another arrow as he shot at another bandit.


    " Heh, Let''s see how you guys going to escape."


    " Damn it!"


    The bandits weren''t that powerful. But the formation allowed them to trap many powerful cultivators and kill them with ease. However, without the formation, they couldn''t handle all the Four Seasons Valley disciples.


    Long Ming didn''t interfere much as the remaining thing got done by his junior disciples. The field got covered by the corpses of the bandits.


    " Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for your help." The group of rogue cultivators bowed before Long Ming. Long Ming shook his head. " You already suffered enough. Fellow Daoists, you should leave."


    After exchanging pleasantries, the rougue cultivators left.


    " Well, You guys fought well. It looks like the training in the Southern Green Mountain wasn''t in vain." Long Ming let out a light smile when he looked at the girls.


    " Senior Brother, You knew it was a trap all along?" Shui Huan pouted as she asked.


    " Well, It was a lesson for you all." Long Ming spoke. " Just because someone is asking help, that doesn''t mean you should just rush in without thinking anything."


    " Because, if you don''t have strength and capability, a drowning man will yank you into the river along with him rather than you pull him out of the water."


    Everyone became stunned when they heard Long Ming''s words.


    " Thank you, Senior Brother."


    " We will remember your teachings forever."


    Long Ming looked at their ragged and dirtied clothes as he pondered something.


    " Aizz, You guys killed that girl pretty brutally. Such a beauty died like that." Long Ming clicked his tongue when he looked at the corpse of the girl from the bandit group.


    " Hehe, Such lowly bitch. How can she enter in the eyes of someone like Senior Brother?" Chen Yin grinned.


    " After all, All sisters are better than her, no?"


    Long Ming rubbed his chin.


    " Well, Since we are going to leave for the Liu Family tomorrow, How about we take shelter tonight?" Long Ming chuckled. "The bandits are dead anyway."


    " Why don''t we take over their hideout?"

 Chapter 86 Junior Sisters Returning Favor

    <h4>Chapter 86 Junior Sisters Returning Favor</h4>


    " Damn it! Activate the formation! Activate it!"


    " Leader! The formation is broken! They broke the defensive formation!"


    " Arghh!"


    The bandits quivered in fear when they saw a group of girls wreak havoc in their base. mes zed and snow fell, various mystical arts fell on the running bandits, turning them into a bloody mist.


    " You bastards, You have tormented enough people."


    " This is retributions from heaven!"


    Lin Xie''s sword turned into an icy river that cut through a dozen bandits at once. The icy wave was stained with blood as the bandits got killed in an instant.


    " Fuck! Where are the boss and others? Could it be¡­"


    The Green Turf Bandits was one of the active bandit organizations in Southern Green Mountain. They are vicious and cunning bastards who loot resources and sell the captives as ves.


    However, the reason that made them so notorious is their location. Many powerful groups were dispatched to collect the bounty on the Green Turn Bandits. However, most of them got killed or disappeared, never to be seen again.


    Not to mention, Even if they got found by some powerful cultivators, they always managed to escape.


    When Long Ming tracked their hideout, he noticed that a cave got surrounded by a powerful concealment formation. It was created by Mystic grade formation tes which can escape the divine sense of ordinary Harmonization realm cultivators.


    Al treasures are divided into different grades. Yellow grade, Spirit Grade, Xuan grade, Mystic grade, Earth grade, Noble Grade, Royal Grade, Imperial Grade.


    Luo Yingying''s attainment was at the peak of Xuan rank runes. But Mystic-grade runes are still out of her reach.


    However, Under Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, the concealment formation showed its ws. After that, with an ambush, they were like cmity descending on the bandit hideout.


    " Ugh, These rotten bastards¡­"


    Luo Yingying was disgusted when she opened the door of the underground dungeon. Everyone could see girls with little to no clothes caged inside.


    The entire ce was filled with a disgusting odor as many of the girls got bruised and injuries all over their bodies. Walking deeper, they could see the sounds of moaning and grunting.


    " Hah, You fucking bitch, You dared to escape right under my nose?" A manughed as he pinned a woman under his body. His hips moved as he tightly squeezed the cheeks of that woman.


    " What about now? I guess you tried to escape because you longed for my cock, no?"


    " Bastard, Why don''t you say that to your mother?" The woman snarled as her eyes squinted from pain. " I bet she was a whore who spread her legs in the middle of the streets."


    *PAAA*


    The man got angry as he gave a tight p to that woman as he increased his thrusts.


    " Huh? Who is it? I told you not to disturb me." The man focused on ravaging that woman as he heard some footsteps from behind.


    Suddenly, he felt something ominous as he hurriedly turned around. But all he saw was a young man drawing out his sword.


    He only felt a light sh of a sword being drawn. The next moment, he saw both his arms lying on his feet.


    " AHHHHHH!"


    The man''s face turned pale as he gave an agonizing scream. Long Ming gave a kick to his abdomen, making him fly back. Shui Huan and others rushed as they held the woman and fed her a healing pill.


    The woman''s face was vacant as she looked at Long Ming and the disciples of Four Seasons Valley.


    " You guys are¡­"


    " Sister, You are safe now. We have killed all the bandits." Shui Huan covered her body with a cloth as she spoke in a low voice.


    " I¡­ I¡­"


    Suddenly, Warm tears fell from her eyes as she gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she clutched a nearby dagger and rushed toward the man who was defiling you.


    " BASTARD! SERVES YOU! SERVES YOU RIGHT!"


    Sitting on the top of his body, the woman viciously stabbed the chest of that man rapidly. She didn''t stop for a while as he kept stabbing and stabbing, making the man''s chest into a gooey cavity.


    The life in the man''s eyes already faded, but the woman didn''t stop till the girls held her shoulders, signaling her that the man was already dead. The woman trembled as she fell to the side, crying out loudly.


    " Damn it, These inhumane bastards. They should be yed alive." Luo Yingying gritted her teeth.


    Long Ming only sighed when he saw that. " Help the captives and give them emergency treatment."


    " Yes, Senior Brother."


    Long Ming looked at Lin Xie and Chen Yin as he spoke. " Now, Do you realize the consequences of being weak and ignorant?"


    " The world of cultivation is never peaceful. Unless you have the strength and ability, you won''t be able to protect your loved ones." Long Ming spoke in a calm voice.


    " You need to have the guts to kill or get killed for your conviction. No matter what, only a firm dao heart will help you to walk out of all adversity."


    Long Ming looked at their faces. It looks like the day went much rough for them. Long Ming sighed as he smiled.


    " Well, But we did good work today. Gather in the central hall. We are going to celebrate."


    Long Ming used the demon beast meat and other resources to prepare some delicious dishes for everyone. The captives were crying in joy when they realize that they got saved.


    With such delicious food and wine, the gloomy atmosphere slowly dissipated as it filled withughter and joy. Long Ming nodded as he looked at Luo Yingying.


    " Well, There is still a ce we need to go."


    " Where?"


    " The treasure room!"


    " Ah!"


    Everyone turned the entire hideout upside down to find the treasury of the bandits. However, none of them could find anything.


    " The bandits are skilled in formations. So, the treasury must be hidden in a formation too." Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked around everyone.


    Suddenly, he found a small bookshelf filled with random books. He used a bit of spiritual qi and activated a hidden rune. Suddenly, the wall trembled as a hidden door revealed itself before their eyes.


    " This¡­"


    " So many spirit stones."


    " Look, There are also so many materials and treasures as well."


    Long Ming estimated that there are at least 100,000 High grade spirit stones inside the treasury. Not to mention, since bandits loot carriages, there are lots of raw materials for treasure and talisman forging as well.


    But what attracted his attention was a bronze colored page. Long Ming took out and scanned with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    " This¡­ This is a book about high level runes and formations. Although it''s damaged, I can find at least three intact formation methods here." Long Ming spoke. " No wonder the bandits were so good at using formations and talismans."


    Long Ming threw the bronze page to Luo Yingying, who felt her eyes twinkle when she saw it.


    " This¡­ This is truly a treasure. Hehe, Thank you, Senior Brother, For your gift."


    " Alright, Collect everything and take a rest here. Tomorrow, we shall depart to the Liu Family." Long Ming spoke as he turned around and left.


    When the evening fell, Long Ming took off his clothes and hopped into the giant pool of water.


    " Ah, The water is just right. I can rx for a moment here."


    Long Ming leaned on the rocks as he increased the water temperature with his Scarlet Yang Qi.


    But then, he hummed as he could feel two faint presence behind her.


    " Hmm? What are you guys doing right now?"


    But Long Ming''s eyes snapped open when he saw Chen Yin and Lin Xie entering the pool beside him.


    " Huh? Chen Yin? Lin Xie? Wh-What are you guys doing?"


    Long Ming got up hurriedly. But he realized that he wasn''t wearing anything. After all, he was bathing alone.


    " Ahh¡­ That¡­That thing¡­"


    " It''s really what Sister Luo said¡­"


    Long Ming sat in the pool as he turned around, making his back facing them.


    " If you have done staring at my body, What are you guys doing here?"


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin''s cheeks were already red but they mustered their courage.


    " Ahem, Senior Brother, You have been helping us from past week. Not to mention, you broke the trap formation and saved us."


    Chen Yin moved toward Long Ming as she ced her n on his shoulder. " Also, Thanks to you , we might soon enter the Mid stage of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm."


    " Therefore, We thought maybe we can¡­ Help you a bit in bath?"


    " Hmm, Is that so?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he turned around. Both Chen Yin and Lin Xie wore sexy lingeries which was almost transparent.


    " Well, Lin Xie you can start massaging my back. Meanwhile, Chen Yin, you can rub my legs."


    Bother Lin Xie and Chen Yin got startled when they heard that. They thought Long Ming going to refuse them. But he epted their offer?


    Perhaps their Senior Brother isn''t that good?


    " Also, I have been nning to give you the Spirit Awakening Great Pill to each of you. It will help you to break through."


    " Really?"


    " Senior Brother, You are so good."


    Spirit Awakening Great Pill is a treasure for any Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator. Hearing that, Lin Xie and Chen Yin''s suspicion vanished.


    Since their Senior Brother is giving them so many benefits, it won''t hurt to return a bit of favor, no?

 Chapter 87 Senior Brother’s Art of Pleasure (Mild R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 87 Senior Brother''s Art of Pleasure (Mild R-18)</h4>


    " Ahhn, Lin Xie, Add a bit more force."


    Long Ming sighed in pleasure as his head rested on Lin Xie''s thighs as she sat behind Long Ming, massaging his head and back.


    He only put a small towel on his crotch to indicate that he isn''t a total exhibitionist. Otherwise, Long Ming''s entire body was exposed before Chen Yin and Lin Xie.


    Chen Yin rubbed Long Ming''s legs and thighs and massaged his feet. Both of the girls were blushing, but they could also feel a strange surge of excitement in their bodies.


    " Hmm, Sister Lin¡­"


    " Senior Brother, You can just call me Lin Xie." Lin Xie smiled.


    " Hehe, Alright. Lin Xie, It looks like it''s your first time massaging a man."


    " Of course¡­" Lin Xie blushed. " Four Seasons Valley is a women''s sect. We have particrly starved the contact with the opposite sex."


    " Hehe, Senior Brother doesn''t know, but many Outer Disciples indulge in¡­certain acts with some servant disciples. But of course, they got punished if they got caught." Chen Yin informed.


    " Well, If you restrict someone too much, such a thing will bound to happen." Long Ming spoke.


    " The sect has strict rules to not lose virginity unless one reaches the True Core Formation Realm. Because the Primordial Yin Energy in a woman''s body will make the process of cultivation smoother." Chen Yin sighed.


    " But that damned Purple Cloud Schr. I wish to p that bastard so hard."


    " Who is he?" Long Ming asked curiously.


    " Chen Yin, How can you mention that to Senior Brother?" Lin Xie red at Chen Yin. Chen Yin shrugged as her breasts rippled the water around her.


    " I thought Senior Brother should know already. Senior Brother Long is also a schr, remember?"


    Chen Yin took out a book and handed it to Long Ming. Long Ming flipped through the book as his expression turned odd.


    " Ah, It''s an erotic book. Hmm¡­ The writing is¡­pretty nd."


    " Huh?"


    Both girls became startled as they looked at Long Ming. " Long Ming flipped through the pages as he spoke. " I mean, The romance looks unreal and exaggerated. Also, Although the intercourse scenes are good, itcks the luster of sensuality."


    " Overall, This might be a good erotica for beginners. But for me, It''s simply¡­trash." Long Ming gave his verdict.


    But suddenly, a coy smile appeared on Long Ming''s face as he looked at Chen Yin. Chen Yin was startled when she saw the small towel that was covering Long Ming''s crotch get lifted by a pir, turning into a tent.


    Long Ming threw the book as he straightened his back. He looked at Lin Xie and Chen Yin. " Well, You both helped me to wash my back. I guess I should return this favor."


    " Huh?"


    Suddenly Long Ming moved behind Lin Xie as he held her shoulders. After that, He used the Ecstatic Cloud Palm and started massaging the back of Lin Xie.


    " Ahnn!"


    Lin Xie felt a sudden surge of electricity throughout her body, numbing her body. But the pleasure of Long Ming''s touch lingered in her mind.


    The Fragrant Yin qi circted on his palm as it increased the power of the Ecstatic Cloud Palm.


    " Well, As a woman, you should also learn about the pleasures of a woman, Lin Xie. You are already old enough, don''t tell you just going to sit and cultivate, and not enjoy the life?"


    Long Ming''s voice was dreamy and alluring. It made Chen Yin and Lin Xie stun as they got mesmerized by Long Ming''s charm.


    Before then Long Ming was entirely in his raw glory, his body was crafted by a single piece of jade with extreme craftsmanship. Just his handsome face was enough to woo any girl, not to mention his full body, that can even put angels in shame.


    And that perfect man was currently massaging Lin Xie''s body and touching all over her. Lin Xie moaned in pleasure when Long Ming removed her undergarment and massaged her breasts.


    " Mm, such plump breasts. You might be feeling some backache and stiffness, no?" Long Ming whispered in Lin Xie''s ears. " But don''t worry, My massage technique will relieve your fatigue."


    " AHNN!"


    " Lin Xie¡­"


    Chen Yin''s eyes widened when she saw Lin Xie moaning and whimpering with pleasure as her senior brother squeezed her breasts and pinched her nipples.


    With the flow of Fragrant Yin Qi in her body, Lin Xie felt like Long Ming knows all the sweet spots in her body, giving her ecstasy just by touching them.


    " A woman''s body is precious, Lin Xie. You should know how to cherish it." Long Ming''s lips trailed on her nape and his fingers traced below her lower abdomen, teasing her pink bean.


    " Hehe, Chen Yin, Watch this¡­"


    " AHHNN!"


    Long Ming gently nibbled the neck of Lin Xie and stimted the pink bean with his Fragrant Yin Qi. Lin Xie felt a jolt throughout her body as a jet of water sprinkled out from her pussy.


    To show it to Chen Yin, Long Ming purposely lifted Lin Xie a bit, so she could squirt outside of the pool of water. Her jet of spring water fell on Chen Yin, who was too shocked to react.


    " Haaah, Haah¡­"


    " It''s alright, Lin Xie¡­ Are you feeling good?"


    Long Ming asked in a soothing voice as he kissed her neck. Lin Xie closed her eyes as she replied with a meek tone.


    " Uhm¡­It feels¡­amazing."


    Chen Yin bit her lips when she saw Lin Xie''s expression. She was Lin Xie''s best buddy, both of them had undergone hardships and happiness together for years. She can naturally feel how blissful Lin Xie is feeling right now if she is making such a scene.


    " Senior Brother¡­ More¡­" Lin Xie''s arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck as she looked at him.


    " I am loving it¡­"


    Chen Yin clenched her fist as she crawled toward Long Ming. She also threw away her undergarment and hugged Long Ming''s arm. " Senior Brother, You can''t just shower your affection on Lin Xie only. I am here too."


    " Haha, Don''t worry, Chen Yin. We got enough time tonight." Long Mingughed as he indeed the dense scent of Fragrant Yin Qiing from Lin Xie and Chen Yin.


    His Deste Immortal Aura with the Pheromones of an Incubus already started to show their effect when Long Ming trained them in the forest. However, Long Ming didn''t expect Lin Xie and Chen Yin will walk into his jaws like that.


    And the moment Lin Xie and Chen Yin entered the pool, they got severely affected by Long Ming''s power as they lost themselves in his body and mind.


    Long Ming kissed Chen Yin as his tongue started to y with her tongue. Chen Yin closed her eyes as her heartbeat quickened. Long Ming''s kiss was filled with passion and desire that forcefully tore apart the remaining shame and hesitance inside her.


    " MMNNFFF!!"


    Chen Yin''s body trembled violently when she felt Long Ming''s fingers pinching her nipples, making them hard and erect. Lin Xie looked at Long Ming and Chen Yin as she also joined the fray.


    She kissed Long Ming''s neck as her hands traveled to his crotch, gently shaking his erect rod.


    Long Ming held both girls in his arms as heughed. " Well, Lin Xie, Chen Yin, are you ready for the ultimate bliss?"


    " Huh?"


    Suddenly, both Lin Xie and Chen Yin felt their expression changing when Long Ming''s fingers entered their sacred caves. Long Ming concentrated the Ecstatic Cloud Palm technique in his fingers, making a brand new technique.


    '' Ecstatic Cloud Fingering Technique!''


    " AHNN!"


    " HNNGHH!~"


    Both Lin Xie and Chen Yin moaned simultaneously as Long Ming started to finger their sacred caves. As the Fragrant Yin Qi teased their pussies, Long Ming kissed both of them as their naked body ground against each other.


    Long Ming''s masculine scent was driving Chen Yin and Lin Xie crazy as they hugged and kissed Long Ming. Long Ming''s fingers yed with their sacred cave as his lips teased their breasts.


    " Hehe, How are you guys feeling? Should I stop?" Long Ming grinned as he sucked the lips of Lin Xie.


    " Hnnnghh! Noo¡­. Senior Brother, This feels so good!"


    " Haah! Haah¡­Your fingering is even better than mine¡­" Chen Yin moaned.


    " What? So, Chen YIn does such things in private, huh?" Long Ming grinned as he licked her earlobes.


    " Don''t do it alone anymore, alright? In the future, your Senior Brother will relieve all your urges.."


    " RIGHT?"


    Long Ming suddenly poked their sweet spot as the zap of Fragrant Yin Qi with his Ecstatic Cloud Finger filled Chen Yin and Lin Xie''s mind with bliss.


    " YESSS!!!"


    Both of them kissed Long Ming''s neck as they moaned loudly, squirting at the same time. Long Ming''s hands were soaked with their love juice as he pulled out his fingers.


    " Well, How was your Senior Brother''s service?"


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin looked at each other as they hugged Long Ming, with their breasts pressing against his chest.


    " Simply heavenly, Senior Brother."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    When the sun rose, Long Ming was already standing in the field as he practiced his swordsmanship. He took a light breath as his sword moved. Without any spiritual qi, he used the Lightning Shadow Sword Art to improve his basic understanding of the sword. It already reached a stage where he can kill Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators without using any technique.


    " Alright, Are you guys ready?" Long Ming looked at the disciples in front of them.


    " Yes, Senior Brother!"


    The flying boat appeared as everyone boarded it. Long Ming also took the captives along with them since they have nowhere to go.


    " Huh? Lin Xie, Chen Yin? What happened to you?" Luo Yingying looked at both of them as she could see they are grinning like fools.


    " Oh, Nothing¡­"


    Shui Huan jumped behind them as she spoke. " I heard you went to meet Senior Brother in private. Hehe, Did you guys have some fun?"


    " Oh?" Luo Yingying raised her brows as she looked at both of them.


    " It was nothing. Senior Brother just gave us¡­ a little massage." Chen Yin stuttered.


    " And we broke through to the next stage."

 Chapter 88 Calligraphy Match?

    <h4>Chapter 88 Calligraphy Match?</h4>


    " What?!"


    Luo Yingying was shocked when she heard that. " Both of you broke though after getting massaged by Long Ming?"


    Chen Yin and Lin Xie looked at each other as they nodded. Luo Yingying was speechless as she looked at Long Ming, who was chatting with other disciples.


    Yesterday, Long Ming released a small knot of energy inside the bodies of Lin Xie and Chen Yin with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes. Using his spiritual qi and Thirty Six Soul Arts, Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura gave them a moment of enlightenment, making them reach the mid stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    '' After getting refined with the golden pir of grand daost time, my Deste Immortal Aura got upgraded. Without even doing anything, I can feel the aura of grand dao around me. No wonder I never face any sort of bottleneck while practicing any technique.''


    '' Not to mention, After basking under my Deste Immortal Aura, the perception andprehension of the Four Seasons Valley disciples increased. Hehe, It''s a natural treasure that anyone would covet.''


    After spending some time, Long Ming could control the Deste Immortal Aura a bit. The moment he uses it, he bes like a sun in midnight. However, when he uses his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique, all of his aura gets concealed like darkness extinguishing a candle.


    As their flying boat moved, Long Ming could see arge town residing amidst the Southern Green Mountain. Although the town looked small in size, it was simply built exquisitely.


    With tall walls and floating buildings, one could see how prosperous the town is.


    Not to mention, with Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he looked at the entireyout of the town. It was no less than a gargantuan formation, powered by formation bricks and an underground spirit vein.


    " No wonder why Liu Family can easily reside inside the Southern Green Mountain without facing any trouble from demon beasts. I guess they made all the preparation beforehand." Long Ming spoke.


    " Indeed, The Liu Family is pretty prominent in the Southern Province. Not only they supply beast core and herbal medicines, their main attraction is the Purple Crystal Pavilion."


    " Purple Crystal Pavilion.?"


    Luo Yingying looked ar Long Ming as she exined. " The Purple Crystal Pavilion was the ce where the ancestor of Liu Family reached the Grand Heaven Ascension Realm. The ce was filled with his power of enlightenment along with the natural dao of heaven and earth."


    " The pavilion is divided into three zones. You need to pay hefty sum of spirit stones just to cultivate in Outer and Inner Zone. However, the ce with teh best effect, the Core Zone can be only given to you if the Liu Family wishes."


    " And, To gain their favorability, The Wine Gathering Festival is the best choice."


    Suddenly, both of them became stunned as they hear a screech. A gigantic blue bird jumped out from cloud as it passed by Four Season Valley''s Flying Boat.


    " Is that a Purple Thunder Bird? That beast is already a ten thousand year old demon beast!" Someone spoke with a shocked voice.


    " That''s the famous beast of Purple Cloud Sect. The demon beast already reached the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm." Luo Yingying spoke.


    The bird streaked across the sky as Long Ming could see many people sitting on its back. They must be the disciples of Purple Cloud Sect.


    " Uh, Speaking of that¡­ Don''t we have any sect protection beast?" Long Ming blinked as helooked at Luo Yingying.


    " We actually had two. One at peak of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm and another one at the Dao Refining Realm."


    " Ah, I guess our sect is also strong." LongMing became excited.


    " Both of them died in previous cmity."


    "..."


    Long Ming''s face froze as he looked at the Purple Thunder Bird. " Are you serious?"


    " I mean, One of them died. While the other one is missing¡­"


    Long Ming sighed as he looked at the distance. " Nothing is really easy for me."


    It wasn''t long before they saw other flying boats and giant beast mounts. Long Ming was even shocked when he saw a giant flying sword, signifying the Six Sword Pavilion.


    " I guess the gathering isn''t going to smooth at all." Long Mingughed bitterly.


    " It never has been." Lin Xie walked to Long Ming as she sighed. " Although the Eternal Spring Tower brought their top-fermented wine, they couldn''t even get ced in the top ten. Even the Blissful Heaven Temple got the seventh positionst time."


    " However, the rewards are generous." Luo Yingying added.? " The top ten will get various benefits from Liu Family. While the top five sects can send three disciples of their choice to the Core Zone of Purple Crystal Pavilion for three days."


    " Hehe, Is that so?" Long Ming snickered.


    '' Wine, huh? Let''s see how you guys can beat Four Seasons Valley this time.''


    As the flying boat descended, guards of the Liu Family approached them and looked at Long Ming.


    " You guys are¡­"


    " We are from Four Seasons Valley." Luo Yingying stepped forward as she replied.


    " Oh, Four Seasons Valley?" The guard''s expression turned uninterested. " You can keep your flying boat here as it''s forbidden to fly within the town."


    " Also, 1000 Mid grade spirit stones per person. It''s the entry fees."


    " What? Entry fees? We are here to attend the Wine Gathering Festival." Luo Yingying frowned.


    But then, they saw many sects entering the city with their flying mounts. Everyone from Four Season Valley became annoyed.


    " I thought flying mounts weren''t allowed inside the town?"


    " They got special permits. You guys don''t have." The guards replied coolly.


    At that moment, a flying boat descended as a bunch of disciples got off from it. They are from Blissful Heaven Temple.


    " Ah, Look, I guess we came a bitte."


    Long Ming became annoyed when he heard the voice. It was none other than Mo Zhu the fly of Blissful Heaven Temple.


    " Young Masters, You can go ahead. And, you can keep the flying boat in our Main Family dock."


    " Haha, Very well." Mo Zhu gave a chuckle as he looked at Long Ming and Luo Yingying. " I wonder if you are going toe with us, Fellow Brother Long."


    Long Mingughed as he took out a pouch of spirit stones and threw them at the guards. " Here, Can we go now?"


    The guards looked at each other as they nodded. " En, You can enter now."


    Long Ming nodded as the girls entered the gate.


    " Haha, Don''t tell me you guys gave the entrance fees?" Mo Zhuughed loudly. " I guess the Liu family isn''t giving you any face, huh?"


    " No, It''s not like that, Brother Mo." Long Ming fanned the Plum Blossom Fan as heughed.


    " Our Four Seasons Valley is a humble sect. When we see some dog barking for food, we simply give them. After all, feeding dogs is also a virtue, no?"


    " Yo-You!"


    The guards of Liu''s Family became furious when they heard Long Ming. " You! You are to call us dogs!"


    Long Mingughed as his eyes narrowed. " Well, I certainly didn''t call you dog. I was just talking about our humble attitude."


    " But fellow daoists, I hope you remember one thing." Long Ming looked at the guard before entering.


    " Those who have ill intentions, They can never digest our favors. Because, Since we feed dogs, we also know to rip out their teeths if they try to bite back their benefactor."


    Long Ming''s aura turned oppressive for a moment. But he turned around and walked inside the town. Mo Zhu snorted when he looked at Long Ming.


    "Let''s see till when you can stay arrogant."


    .


    .


    .


    " Damn it, They are not treating us with any respect at all." Luo Yingying snorted. Long Ming gave a lightugh.


    " In this world, only thew of the jungle prevails. If you want respect, be worthy of the strength to gain it."


    " But don''t worry. I won''t allow you all to feel any discrimination. " Long Mingughed. " Let''s go to the most luxurious inn."


    " What? 20,000 mid grade spirit stones per person, for every night?" Luo Yingying was shocked. But before she could say anything, Long Ming looked at the inn owner.


    " Alright, Book the top ssroom for all of our disciples. And take this, the advance payment of three days. It also includes meals and other things."


    All of the Four Seasons Valley''s disciples became shocked when Long Ming spent a few hundred thousand spirit stones in one go. Seeing the money, the inn owner will not refuse at all.


    " Alright, Senior Brother, We should go now." Luo Yingying looked at Long Ming. " Let them take some rest. Meanwhile, We should go and join the Calligraphy Meeting at Liu Family."


    The Liu Family avenue was massive, with various ponds and trees adorning the beauty. The true qi was dense as Long Ming could see many formations hidden around the estate.


    Suddenly, He saw a crowd of people as they saw a calligraphy match. A young cultivator wearing a ck robe waspeting against a middle aged man.


    " Look, The second young master of Six Sword Pavilion is really a genius. He masted the art of Sword Calligraphy at such young age."


    " But his opponent is Daoist Windwalk, He is renowned for his wisdom and calligraphy."


    Suddenly, the young man raised his sword as the ink sttered in the air. However, with a surge of an invisible energy, the inkstone turned bright and suspended midair, forming various words in a beautiful manner.


    " Solitary Sword, Winter Flower, Both Lonely, But Beautiful to Cherish"


    (This is pure BS, don''t mind it)


    " Look, Even Young Master Liu Jiang is here."


    Long Ming narrowed his eyes when he saw a young man wearing a bright green colored dress appearing.


    " Marvelous, Young Master Xu Jian of Six Sword Pavilion is truly a talent of our generation. I think it''s already his fifth win." Liu Jiang smiled.


    " Well, Look at this. I was really expecting to see you here, Brother Long."


    Long Ming turned around as he saw a familiar figure. " Brother Ling Yuan, such a pleasant surprise to meet you. I can see, Xu Jian of your sect is really talented. Not many can master sword intent at such age."


    Suddenly, The crowd turned silent when Long Ming spoke. Ling Yuan chuckled as he stood before Long Ming. " Well, I guess Brother Long''s eyes are sharp as ever."


    " A talented person like you, Why don''t you also participate?"

 Chapter 89 Scholar Long Ming And Couplet

    <h4>Chapter 89 Schr Long Ming And Couplet</h4>


    Long Ming smacked his lips when he heard Ling Yuan. " Well, Pitting me against your own sect disciple. I wonder what Brother Ling is thinking?"


    " What could I think?" Ling Yuan chuckled. " I mean, Why wouldn''t I watch a match with you and Xu Jian?"


    " Well, I guess you have already drawn everyone''s attraction toward me."


    Long Mingughed as he looked at his surroundings. People already started to notice Long Ming''s presence.


    But his presence was not something he could hide anyway unless he activated his concealment.


    A light blue dress with white cloud patterns, it was like the sky of winter with clouds showering snow. With his long hair tied with a sword hairpin and eyes like an azure pool of water, Long Ming looked like a heavenly noble.


    Liu Jiang walked to Long Ming and cupped his before Long Ming. " I am Liu Jiang, the second young master of the Liu Family. This fellow brother¡­"


    " I am Long Ming from Four Seasons Valley."


    Long Ming folded his paper fan as he replied with a calm face.


    " Four Seasons Valley?"


    Many of them became shocked when they looked at Long Ming. Liu Jiang was also surprised. " Fellow brother is a disciple of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Apparently." Long Ming let out a lightugh. " I guess many people are going to be jealous by seeing a male disciple in a female sect?"


    " Haha, Fellow brother Long is pretty¡­ straightforward."


    " I rarely talk in a roundabout way." Long Ming chuckled. Ling Yuan looked at Long Ming as he spoke.


    " Since you are here, How about Brother Long shows his calligraphy talent? I am sure you are pretty well versed in four arts."


    " I can''t understand the eagerness of Brother Ling." Long Ming''s eyes narrowed. " If Brother Ling remains dishonest, I won''t participate at all."


    " Alright, How about we have a bet?" Ling Yuan finally showed his true colors. " Twenty jars of your personally brewed Song of Summer and Winter along with Two paintingmissions. And both paintings should be at the Visualization stage."


    " Haha, My wine? Why? Is Eternal Spring Tower not selling the Song of Summer and Winter?" Long Mingughed.


    " Pei, I don''t like those diluted water after tasting the real deal. I know you have a good amount of wine. And, I want it." Ling Yuan spoke.


    Liu Jiang was shocked when he saw the attitude of Ling Yuan. Who was Ling Yuan? One of the topmost Core Disciples of Six Sword Pavilion. His swordprehension was said to be one of the best in the entire Eastern Province.


    Not only heprehended Sword Intent at an early age, but he also has a Royal grade physique called Sky Fighting Royal Body.


    " Alright, Xu Jian, Come here for a moment."


    Long Ming looked at Xu Jian, who looked like a boy of sixteen years old. There was still a childish aura around him. But Long Ming realized that he already reached the peak of True Formation Realm andprehended Sword Intent.


    " He is Xu Jian, My Junior brother and the son of Sect Master of the Six Sword Pavilion. Along with his sword art, he is also a monstrous talent in calligraphy."? Ling Yuan introduced.


    The Daoist Windwalk got up as he rubbed his beard. " Haha, This little fellow is indeed a genius. I doubt there are many who can match his sword calligraphy technique."


    " Xu Jian greets Brother Long Ming." Xu Jiang cupped his fist. Long Ming chuckled.


    " Hmm, I guess you are confident in Xu Jian, Eh?" Long Ming smiled. " I don''t think I can back away now."


    " Huh? What''s happening?"


    " Xu Jian of Six Sword Pavilion is going to have a calligraphy match with that young man of Four Seasons Valley."


    " What? That person is from Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Damn it, Such a handsome bastard in Four Seasons Valley. What luck."


    Long Ming took his seat as he looked at Xu Jian. " Fellow Daoist Xu, you can go first."


    Xu Jian stood up as he held his sword hit. With a sudden sh, he drew out his sword. The sword intent turned pitch ck as it sttered on the paper. However, the mindless stter slowly converged into beautiful words.


    [ A mountain of books has a way and diligence is the path]


    Suddenly, Everyone could feel a schrly, and righteous aura from the letters. It depicted a schr''s life and the art of learning.


    Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush as he gently grounded his Five Elemental Inkstone. Unlike Xu Jian''s shy method, Long Ming grinding the inkstone was much more serene and tranquil.


    Along with his Deste Immortal Aura, each of his movements looked connected with heaven and earth.


    Dipping his brush in the ink, Long Ming started writing. His strokes were slow and measured carefully. But Long Ming''s expression was calm with a light smile.


    [ The sea of learning has no end and hard work is the boat.]


    The Five Elemental Ink gave off a shining light Long Ming''s words gave off a powerful aura. It looked like each word became a painting itself.


    If Xu Jian''s couplet looks like a big library of books, then Long Ming''s couplet would make someone feel like they are amidst a sea of books. There is no end to learning. Only with hard work and perseverance, one can only traverse this endless sea.


    " He¡­ He matched the couplet!"


    " His intent is stronger than Xu Jian''s couplet."


    " Two Visualization grade couplets at the same time."


    For Dao of Painting and Dao of Calligraphy, one can only create visualization when they reached the intent stage and are able to draw using their intent. The intent resonated with thew of heaven and earth and shows effects under everyone''s eyes.


    Xu Jian raised his eyebrows as he looked at Long Ming. " That''s interesting..


    He threw the teacup in front of him and shed out his sword. Using the sword as a brush and tea as ink, he created another couplet on another piece of paper.


    [Distance tests a horse''s strength]


    This couplet contained Xu Jian''s sharp sword intent along with a tremendous force, akin to a wild horse running.


    Long Ming''s Scarlet Yang Qi flowed as the crimson qi turned into a crimson liquid for Long Ming as he wrote his answer.


    [Time reveals a person''s heart]


    Like a rising sun, the crimson word bore an aura of me and yang energy, making its surrounding warm.


    Xu Jianughed out loud as he looked at Long Ming. " Fellow Daoist Long, I guess Senior Brother Ling''s evaluation of you isn''t overestimated at all."


    " Very well, This one will determine the winner and loser." Xu Jian''s sword shone as the sword intent erupted.


    " This is our sect''s sword technique, Nine Clouds Imperial Sword Art. Let''s see if you can outmatch myprehension."


    His sword moved as he didn''t use any ink this time. The sword intent filled with a sharp light as Xu Jian shed at a stone b. The sword intent cut the stone b as words emerged.


    Sword energy spans heaven and earth,


    Fearless courage clears the path ahead.


    Sword glimmers, sword shadows dance,


    With a chivalrous spirit and tender heart, forge a noble soul.


    The words shone with terrifying sword intent. It condensed from the entire power andprehension of Xu Jian. If the sword intent is released, it can even harm a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.


    " Damn, Nine Cloud Imperial Sword Technique is one of the Royal grade techniques of Six Sword Pavilion. He already reached the Minor Completion at True Core Formation Realm?"


    " Genius! Truly a Genius!"


    Long Mingughed as he got up. " Very well. I have seen the nine Cloud Imperial Sword Technique. But, I hope you can also see this¡­"


    Suddenly, A four colored qi erupted around Long Ming as it swirled around his brush. A zing qi, a gentle qi, a freezing blue qi, and a qi filled with fragrance and blossoms, all appeared around Long Ming.


    " This¡­ This the technique of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Such a powerful aura!"


    Suddenly, the four colored qi congealed in Long Ming''s jade brush as he used it to write his answer.


    Emerald hues adorn the spring forest''s beauty,


    Summer waters ripple, weaving a silken dance.


    Autumn moon and crisp breeze chant ancient verses,


    Winter snow dresses in silver, inspiring poetic hearts.


    Long Ming used the Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art and used four type of qi at once to write them. Thanks to his heavenlyprehension, he managed to create the maximum impact.


    In a single couplet, he managed to represent the entire Four Season Valley, and in a better manner.


    Everyone felt the words filled with multicolor radiance as they gave off a mysterious feeling. One can feel the presence of all four seasons when looking at them.


    Not to mention, the moment they appeared, they affected the surroundings, stirring the true qi of the atmosphere. Suddenly, the words turned bright as colorful phenomenons appeared around it.


    Xu Jian was shocked when he saw that. With a mild smile, he bowed. " Brother Long''s wisdom is magnificent. I admit my defeat."


    "Brother Xu is overdoing. It was a tough match." Long Ming spoke. " Your sword is more schrly and filled with righteous energy. If Brother Xu can cultivate a righteous heart, you might reach the Sword Heart Realm faster than you can think."


    " Righteous heart¡­ Righteous heart¡­"


    Xu Jian mumbled as his eyes shone with a bright light. " I understand. Thank you, Elder Brother Long. Your guidance gave me enlightenment."


    Suddenly, a sword appeared on the ground as he stepped on it. Without exining anything, he rode his flying sword and vanished.


    Ling Yuan was stunned when he saw the scene. Long Mingughed as he patted on his shoulder.


    " Well, Since I won¡­ Shouldn''t you give me something in return?"


    " Haha, About that¡­" Ling Yuan sighed.


    Liu Jiang was stunned when he looked at Long Ming. Without enoughprehension and strength, a lower rank cultivator couldn''t write such words, because the true qi in their body won''t support it.


    Long Ming must be a powerhouse who is hiding his cultivation.


    " Fellow Daoist Long, You are indeed a great schr. May I invite you to stay in Liu Family''s residency?"


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. " Is that so? But I am afraid I can''t ept that. I don''t think Four Seasons Valley is weed by Liu Family. Haha, even guards at the gate dare to disrespect us."


    " We are happy in our amodation in Golden Flower Inn. But thanks for your invitation." Long Ming turned around and looked at Ling Yuan.


    " Brother Ling, Let''s have a drink in private."


    Liu Jiang''s expression turned stiff when he realized Long Ming ignored him.


    '' Damn it, Who annoyed him at the city gates?''

 Chapter 90 New Wine

    <h4>Chapter 90 New Wine</h4>


    " Fine, What do you want since you won the bet?" Ling Yuan stretched his arms as he looked at Long Ming.


    " Two things. I want two things." Long Ming spoke. " First, Can I taste the wine you brought to the Wine Gathering this time?"


    " Huh? You want to taste it?" Ling Yuan was surprised. " I am afraid, Brother Long. But I don''t think I can do that." He shook his head.


    " We brought our Sacred Sword Wine, a treasure brewed by our Grand Elder and fermented over 500 years. After asking him so many times, he reluctantly gave us some from his collection."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming was amused. " How about you give me something simr to the Sacred Sword Wine?"


    " Well, We do have a Blooming Sword Wine. Hehe, Even that is very pricy. But since Brother Long is asking, I can give you a bottle." Ling Yuan chuckled.


    " As for the second thing¡­ Let me ask you something. Does Brother Ling represent the Six Sword Pavilion?"


    " Well, Although our third elder is here, I am also the disciple of Sect Master. So, You can say that I represent the Six Sword Pavilion¡­to some extent."


    Long Ming chuckled as he turned around. " Well, Then Brother Ling, I hope if any unpleasant thing happens between us and Blissful Heaven Temple, you will remain neutral."


    Ling Yuan was startled when he heard Long Ming''s words. " Haha, Very well. How can I miss the chance to see a great drama?"


    Ling Yuan chuckled as he threw a jade gourd at Long Ming. Long Ming caught it and opened its seal. Suddenly, a sharp sword qi shot out from it, making Long Ming''s skin prick.


    " Essence of some rare herbs that are obtained after the herbs refined by churning sword intent, this wine is only of Six Sword Pavilion''s best wine."


    " But in terms of vor and richness, I felt your Song of Summer and Winter is better." Ling Yuanughed. " So, Can''t you spare some for me? At least give me a bottle of your wine."


    " Haha, Let''s wait till tomorrow, Brother Ling."


    Long Ming grinned as he turned around and left. Ling Yuan couldn''t help but sigh.


    The Southern Green Town was also pretty big as there are various stores selling many things. Long Ming walked to a weapon store and inspected the weapons.


    Some of the Xuan grade weapons were getting sold from 100,000 mid grade spirit stones to one million spirit stones. While the Mystic grade weapons were treated as sacred treasures. There was also a section selling demonic beast cores and spirit blood.


    " This is a powerful Mystic grade weapon, embedded with a Five thousand year old ming Lion Core. The sword is the best pair for your Fire attribute technique. Only for 10 million mid grade spirit stones.


    " A pair of Ghost ws! A perfect weapon if you are proficient in Fist techniques. Only for twenty million mid grade spirit stones."


    The materials of a treasure also affect its price. A skilled treasure master can create a Xuan grade treasure out of mortal iron. However, when the same Xuan grade weapon is pitted against a Xuan grade weapon forged of Spirit Steel, the mortal iron Xuan grade weapon will break into pieces. Therefore, at the same grade, the price of weapons can be different.


    But of course, forgeries and fake items were everywhere. Only a kneen appraiser can pick jade among green colored stones.


    Long Ming remembered theyout of the city as he returned to the inn. The moment the Four Seasons Valley disciples saw him, they lept in joy.


    " Senior Brother, You are so cool!"


    " Haha, You even made the Liu Family bow before us!"


    " Huh?"


    Long Ming was a bit confused when he heard them. " Yingying, What are they talking about?"


    Luo Yingying chuckled when she looked at Long Ming. " I already heard about your winning in the Calligraphy match. After that, the Liu Family''s main guards arrested the guards standing at the city gates."


    " They made them apologize to us. I heard they will be thrown into the family dungeon for disrespecting the guests."


    Long Mingughed out loud when he heard that. " Ah, I guess that Liu Jiang got some brain. Yingying, take this and purchase all the herbs on the list."


    " Huh?"


    Luo Yingying looked with a surprised expression. " What? Senior brother, Are you nning to concoct some pills?"


    " Pills?" Long Ming grinned. " I am going prepare some wine."


    Entering his room, Long Ming took out the bottle of Spirit Sword Wine and took a sip. Suddenly, he felt his sword intent humming as a sharp taste entered his tongue.


    It was like a spike of sword intent mixed with true qi that invigorate a person''s body and cells. But the spike was too sharp, enough to make a cultivator with low strength and tolerance throw up and faint. After all, the sword intent along with the rich true qi wasn''t just for show.


    However, to Long Ming, it was like juice. He could feel his understanding toward the sword intent rose a bit and his sword embryo absorbed the sword intent from the Spirit Sword Wine.


    " If this is the base of Sacred Sword Wine, I can imagine the taste of it somewhat. It could be worthy of the top ten wine." Long Ming pondered.


    The Song of Summer and Winter contained a distinct vor of both hotness and coolness. Although keeping inside the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes for such a long time would have made the wine better, Long Ming thought of making something else.


    " I got the Summer and Winter. How about making the Autumn and Spring this time?"


    Long Ming already got the Wine Maker profession. Now along with the extensive knowledge of herbs and materials, he decided to make a new wine.


    He cleared the Heavenly Urn of Frozen me first. After that, he took a small cauldron and started to extract herbal essence from it.


    " Windwalk Flower, Rising Dust Fruit, Deep Earth Fruit, Azure Water Herb¡­"


    Long Ming used the herb and extracted the herbal juice from it. After that, he ced the herbal juice in the urn and activated is cooling function. Closing the lid, Long Ming let it freeze and melt under extreme coldness.


    After that, he to opened a bottle and poured out a jar of blood.


    " This is the spirit blood essence of Steel Wind Bird. I need to cook it with the Thousand year old Fragrant Ginseng."


    Long Ming boiled the blood essence with the herb and reduced it. After that, he also mixed it with the herbal essence inside the urn. After that, controlling the temperature, Long Ming brewed the wine with the urn.


    After that, he ced several thousand High grade spirit stones around the urn and activated the time eleration.


    " Now, Let it rest for a time."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Long Ming looked at the rising sun and rubbed his eyes. He ended the staying up all night. However, the moment he opened his urn, all his tiredness vanished.


    A rich aroma of wine drifted out from the urn, mixing with the wind of early morning and spread across the entire inn.


    " Huh?"


    " What''s with this smell?"


    " Wine¡­ This is wine¡­"


    Everyone in the Golden Flower Inn became shocked when they inhaled the aroma. They felt the caress of gentle wind and the fragrance of flowers, making their body rejuvenate.


    Long Mingughed loudly and he sealed the urn. But it was already toote. Suddenly, his door got knocked and the girls rushed in.


    They all just woke up now and came rushing after smelling the wine.


    " Senior Brother, What was that?"


    " Yeah! What''s with that smell of wine It''s different from the Song of Summer and Winter!"


    Long Mingughed when he looked at their state. " My, My junior sisters¡­ I am not running anywhere. Why must youe here like this? Ah, thank you for giving a treat for my eyes."


    The girls blushed when they looked at each other. They were all wearing their night dresses, showing off quite a lot of their skin. Their ample thighs and deep cleavages, along with their sleepy eyes created a beautiful scene.


    " Hmph, Senior Brother has already seen whatever there is to be seen. Why we should care now?" Lin Xie spoke.


    " Yeah, Since you have seen everything, you mustpensate us!"


    Long Ming put the urn inside his spatial bracelet and turned around. " You all go and get ready. Don''t worry, We will have an ample amount of wine for ourselves."


    It didn''t take time before all of them got ready. Long Ming took a refreshing bath and wore an exquisite robe.


    " Alright, My dear junior sisters, Let''s go."


    The entire Liu family was decorated as red banners fluttered everywhere. All the sects started to converge at the Liu Family''s estate.


    " Greetings, Fellow Daoists from all sects. Wee to our Wine Gathering Festival."


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed when he saw a middle aged man walking on the stage. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming felt that the person at the Peak of Harmonization Realm or even higher.


    '' Patriarch of Liu Family, Liu An.''

 Chapter 91 Wine Gathering Begins

    <h4>Chapter 91 Wine Gathering Begins</h4>


    Long Ming felt that Liu An is like a gigantic mountain standing before the crowd. Although he didn''t unt his power, his invisible aura alone gave pressure on those who gazed at him.


    " As you know, The Wine Gathering Festival has been happening for thousands of years. Today is when we appease the spirits of our ancestors with the best quality wine." Liu An announced.


    " As per the rules of the festival, Please receive a token. The queue will be ording to the number inscribed on the token."


    " After judging the wine, we will select the best wine and proceed to the next stage."


    " Also, You can share and exchange your wine here. After all, This is Wine Gathering after all."


    Liu Anughed as he looked at them. " But of course, What kind of wine festival it will be if the hosting family doesn''t serve any wine at all? Please, enjoy the wine of the Liu Family."


    Suddenly, servants holding exquisite vases walked forward among the crowd as they poured wine into sses.


    The atmosphere is filled with the sweet scent of wine that can uplift a person''s mood. The sweetness was like spirit nectar, without any shed of intoxication.


    " This is our first wine, Spirit Honeydew."


    The wine was like a golden translucent liquid with a thick viscosity. Long Ming and the disciples of Four Seasons Valley held the ss as they tasted the wine.


    " This¡­ This is kinda sweet."


    " Indeed. The alcohol content is pretty low, but the sweetness is filled with a mild vigor of spiritual qi that invigorates one''s soul."


    Long Ming also drank it with closed eyes as she savored the wine.? He only gave a light smile and ced the cup on the te. Many guests took the second or even third cup, but Long Ming didn''t drink more than once.


    At that moment, the guests already walked to the pavilion to offer their wine.


    Long Ming found a seat and sat down, observing the crowd. His eyes narrowed when he saw the Blissful Heaven Temple''s Elder holding a wine jar and walking on the pavilion.


    " Fellow Daoists, This is our newly brewed wine, It''s called the Blossoming Emotions. Made with exquisite herbs, it has been fermented for over a hundred years. However, I am sure it will be able to give apetition to more aged spirit wines here."


    " Huh? Look at that¡­"


    " Such a rich aroma of wine. It contains a different level of spiciness.


    " Indeed, I can feel my body warming up a bit. Not to mention, a surge of energy filling my body and soul."


    The elder sealed the jar and passed to the guests of the Liu Family while the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple poured the wine to those standing below the pavilion.


    " This¡­"


    " How is this possible?"


    Long Ming was surprised when he saw the expression of the Four Seasons Valley''s disciples.


    " Haha, Brother Long, Why are you sitting there alone? You should also taste this new wine." Mo Zhu gave a devious grin and gave a cup of wine to Long Ming.


    Long Ming realized that Mo Zhu was up to no good. However, he understood that Mo Zhu couldn''t be able to mix any weird things in his wine in front of everyone.


    However, The moment Long Ming tasted the wine, he nearly spat it out. Although his face remained calm on the outside, his expression turned dark.


    " How was it, Brother Long? O hope it''s ording to your liking." Mo Zhu grinned.


    Long Ming looked at Mo Zhu and only answered him with a faint smile. Seeing Long Ming isn''t riling up, Mo Zhu felt a strange difort in his heart.


    '' Hmph, Let''s see how long you can stay calm.'' He thought inwardly and turned around and walked away.


    When Mo Zhu left. The Four Seasons Valley disciples swarmed around Long Ming.


    " Brother Long, This wine¡­ This wine is eerily simr to the Song of Summer and Winter."


    " To those who never drank the Song of Summer and Winter, this wine is naturally one of the best quality wines. However, We can feel the distinct icy hotness of the Song of Summer and Winter." Luo Yingying spoke hurriedly.


    Long Ming looked at them and nodded. " Indeed, You are not wrong. They used the Song of Summer and Winter as a base to create these Blossoming Emotions."


    " What? So, It''s true?"


    " How is that possible?" Lin Xie cursed.


    " Could it be¡­ Someone leaked the brewing method of our wine?"


    Long Ming shook his head. " That''s impossible. They didn''t brew the Song of Summer and Winter at all. Rather than that, they used a cheap trick."


    " They purchased arge amount of Song of Summer and Winter from the market and reduced it to get its essence since the market versions are the diluted wines."


    " After getting the essence, they mixed one part of Song of Summer and Winter with two parts of other wine and left it for fermentation. The other wine was very strong in vor and rich in true qi."


    " It masked the vor of the Song of Summer and Winter, making a new and better wine."


    Hearing Long Ming''s expression, all the disciples of Four Seasons Valley became both shocked and worried.


    " The Blissful Heaven Temple got a headstart. Not many people here tasted our Song of Summer and Winter. So, if we present our wine here, won''t people use us of stealing the form of Blissful Heaven Temple?" Chen Yin thought for a moment before she spoke.


    Long Ming looked at all of them as he gave a gentleugh. " What? Are you guys thinking that we are going to lose?"


    All of them looked at Long Ming, who was sitting with a calm expression with a tinge of a smile. His aura alone gave a celestial and sacred feeling, making the disciples pacified.


    " Sisters, Do''t worry." Shui Huan spoke first. " Since Senior Brother is here, I am sure he will crush those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards under us."


    " Indeed, Senior Brother definitely has a n."


    " Hehe, I always trusted Senior Brother Long."


    " Alright, Enough chit chat." Long Ming adjusted his sleeves and looked at Luo Yingying.


    " Yingying, I have a task for you."


    " Yes, Senior Brother?" Luo Yingyin nodded.


    " Since this is Wine Gathering Festival, I am sure many old drinkers must havee here." Long Ming spoke. " Try to find the one who is most knowledgeable about wines. And ask them if they are feeling the taste of Blossoming Emotions is simr to a wine that they drank before."


    " Ah! Alright."


    Luo Yingying nodded as she turned around and walked away. Long Ming looked at the token he got and then, he looked at the disciples. " All of you, Get ready to serve wine. Our turn is near."


    " Yes, Senior Brother¡­"


    As the disciples dispersed, Long Ming sat there with a sigh. He never thought that the Blissful Heaven Temple such a cheap yet effective trick.


    '' Fuck, But to think then even managed to blend two wines perfectly. I guess they really nned this all along, huh?'' Long Ming suddenly poured out his newly brewed wine into a cup and took a sip.


    Even though his mind was racing, there was no effect on his elegance. He sipped the wine gently and savored the taste of each drop.


    " Hoho, Such nice smelling wine. Young Lad, will share some with me?"


    Long Ming''s pupils shrank when he looked at his side. He saw an old man wearing ordinary clothes standing beside him, looking at his wine cup intently.


    One had to know that the moment Long Ming walked inside the Liu Family manor, his Heavenly Revtion Eyes were constantly active. But this old man managed toe so near without any warning. His divine sense didn''t catch him at all.


    " Greetings, Elder. This junior is from Four Seasons Valley."


    " Four Seasons Valley, huh? A male disciple in Four Seasons Valley¡­How amusing." The old man chuckled as heughed. " But why are you giving so respect to an old geezer like me? I am just a ordinary, low level cultivator."


    " Elder, Don''t you feel an ordinary thing amidst a lot of rare things will be more eye catching?" Long Ming gave a lightugh. " How should I address you?"


    " Haha, I like your attitude. You are much better than those arrogant dickheads." The old manughed. " My name is Ren Qian. You can call me Old Ren."


    " Elder Ren¡­" Long Ming smiled. " Judging from your age, It looks like you have witnessed quite many scenes across your life."


    Ren Qianughed as his eyes narrowed. " Well, I guess you are right. I am already too old."


    " Also, That pair of eyes of yours¡­ They are very interesting." Ren Qian chuckled. " Such pair of divine eyes are very rare to see."


    Long Ming''s expression turned stiff when he heard that. Closing his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he spoke, " I am sorry for using my technique on you."


    " I can indeed share this wine with you, Elder Ren." Long Ming spoke. " However, I have a small request."


    " Hmm? I don''t think an old man like me got any power." Ren Qian sighed.


    " Well, I am searching for someone who is an expert in the field of wines. Do you have anyone in your vision?" Long Ming asked calmly.


    " Huh? You want to meet a wine expert?" Ren Qian became surprised.


    " Haha, Kid, Your luck is pretty good." Heughed out loud.


    " Because the best one is standing right before you."

 Chapter 92 Battle of Wine

    <h4>Chapter 92 Battle of Wine</h4>


    Long Ming''s lips curled when he heard that. " Is that so? Hmm, But, Why do I feel like Elder Ren is just saying this to trick me into giving you wine?"


    " Huuuh? Brat, Do I look that kind of person to you?" Ren Qian''s eyes squinted when he heard Long Ming.


    Long Ming shrugged. " Well, I don''t know. How can I trust a stranger?"


    " Haah, Is that so?" Ren Qian snorted. " Believe me or not, I am better than all the old geezers out there."


    Long Ming kept pping his closed paper fan on his palm as a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. " Then, I hope Elder Ren could answer a question of mine."


    " Fine, Go ahead."


    Long Ming looked at him. " Have you tasted the Blossoming Emotions of Blissful Heaven Temple?"


    Ren Qian''s expression became thoughtful. " Well, I did."


    " How did it taste? It really bubbles up one''s emotion, am I right?"


    Ren Qian crossed his arms and nodded. " You are right. But there are still some anomalies inside it."


    " First, It felt like it was hurriedly brewed. The natural taste of a treasured wine was missing in the Blossoming Emotions." Ren Qian spoke. " Not to mention, It felt like a carefully blended wine."


    " Oh, Is that so?" Long Ming looked at home with a calm smile. " Then, Did Elder Ren manage to notice which wine was blended in it?"


    " Well, I have drank many wines across my life. Therefore, I can tell what many couldn''t tell." Ren Qian grinned. " I feel this is Holy Qilin Imperial Family''s Nine Spirit Sky Dew."


    " Ah, I see. Is Nine Spirit Dew that rare?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " Well, You can say that. The main ingredient of the Nine Spirit Sky Dew is the drop of spirit water from Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave, the Ten thousand Year old Hidden Snake Flower, and other precious materials. If a Harmonization realm cultivator drinks a jar, he will able to enter in a meditative state and it also has a spiritual healing property."


    " But of course, What The Blissful Heaven Temple used is the Three Spirit Dew, which is a much diluted version of Nine Spirit Sky Dew. But I can feel it wasn''t pure Three Dew Wine. They must have mixed something in it."


    Long Mingughed and nodded. " Very well, Elder Ren. Please, Taste this wine."


    Long Ming took out a jade jar and poured wine into the ss. Suddenly, a mix of light orange and icy blue filled the cup as they mixed like a mixing of fire and ice.


    " Eh? This isn''t the wine you were drinking. But, I guess this will work too." Ren Qianughed and took the cup and drank the wine while savoring it.


    " Such a blend of fiery hotness and icy coldness. At one moment, I feel like I am standing under the summer sun while at another moment, it''s like I am facing a deste blizzard."


    " Not to mention, the dense true qi¡­ The wine is aged over a thousand years old without any special method. This is¡­ definitely a top notch wine."


    But then, Old Ren''s eyes narrowed and he looked at Long Ming. " I see, You let me taste this wine because of Blissful Heaven Temple. Now I understand¡­ They blended this wine with Three Spirit Dew and made Blossoming Emotions?"


    " Elder Ren is wise. I guess I don''t have to borate much." Long Ming poured him another cup of wine. " This is called the Song of Summer and Winter, a wine of our Four Seasons Valley. But unfortunately, Blissful Heaven Temple took the wine and mixed it with another wine to create a new wine and presented it here."


    " Hmhm, I can guess their n. Since they went first, your Song of Summer and Winter will receive some negative remarks, right?" Ren Qian nodded. " But then, This wine is already a top notch spirit wine. I guess you will do fine."


    " I am not worrying about that at all." Long Mingughed. " Since Elder Ren drank so much wine, I hope you will say something on our behalf if the situation rises."


    " Hoho, Are you sure I can help?" Elder Ren rubbed his beard. Long Ming cupped his fist and bowed lightly. " If you do, you will get a surprise wine."


    " Hahaha! A surprise wine? Brat, I guess you found my weakness, huh?" Ren Qian turned around.


    " Very well, I will see what I can do."


    " Goodbye, Elder Ren."


    Long Ming raised his head and saw Ren Qian already disappeared. Long Ming sat back in his seat and let out a deep sigh. Although many people didn''t notice Ren Qian, with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and Temporal Fate Simtion Technique, he managed to take a glimpse of the true aura of Ren Qian.


    '' Damn, to think he is a demonic beast who transformed into a human, a powerhouse even more oppressive than Nine Revolution of Soul Realm.'' Long Ming muttered in his heart.


    '' Hehe, but thanks to that, I manage to secure another supporter.'' A cruel light shed in Long Ming''s eyes. '' Blissful Heaven Temple, You love to y games, huh? Now, It''s my turn.''


    Soon, the disciples of Four Season Valley converged around Long Ming as their turn finally came.


    " Senior Brother, I asked many elders. But most of them are thinking that Blossoming Emotions is an original wine. Not to mention, those few who are thinking it''s a blended wine can''t say what is mixed with our Song of Summer and Winter."


    Long Ming heard Luo Yingying and nodded. " It''s alright. You have already done enough."


    With a smile, he took out many jars from his spatial bracelet. " All of you, listen carefully. There are two types of jars. First, You will serve this jar. And after the first one, you will serve this one."


    Luo Yingying and others looked at Long Ming and nodded. " As yous ay, Senior Brother."


    " Alright, This is the turn on Four Season Valley."


    Everyone look at the stage when they heard about Four Seasons Valley. No matter how much the sect has weakened, the female disciples of Four Seasons Valley already have been an attraction.


    " Lo-Look there¡­"


    " So beautiful¡­"


    Long Ming held a wooden vase and walked in the front. Behind him, the female disciples of Four Seasons Valley walked in a row, taking one step at a time. All of their steps were like an invisible rhythm, giving e surreal sensation.


    " Who is that young man in the front?"


    " Isn''t his name Long Ming? He won the calligraphy match against Xu Jian of Six Sword Pavilion."


    " So handsome. Such a handsome young man is the disciple of Four Season Valley?"


    The female disciples wore four types of dresses, depicting the four seasons. Long Ming stood on the stage and bowed.


    " Greetings, Esteemed daoists. I am Long Ming, the True disciple of Four Season Valley."


    '' What?! He is the True Disciple of Four Season Valley?"


    " Impossible! They made a male the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley?"


    The crowd plunged into the discussion when they heard Long Ming. Long Ming''s expression didn''t change as he spoke again."


    " This is my first time attending the wine gathering. I hope all the present elders will pardon my mistakes."


    " This time, the Four Seasons Valley has brought more than one wine. I hope everyone present here will feel the hospitality of Four Seasons Valley."


    pping his paper fan on his palm, Long Ming gave the signal. The disciples of Four Seasons Valley walked and poured wine from wine jars. The wine jar was carefully crafted with patterns of ming leaves and falling snow.


    " This wine¡­"


    " Such a rich scent¡­"


    When the Daoists drank the Song of Summer and Winter, their expressions turned wonderful.


    " Ugh, Such heat¡­ I think my whole body is burning up."


    " Hot? I think I am going to freeze here. Such coldness."


    " What?"


    All of them became shocked when they realized the transition between hotness and coolness. The Blissful Heaven Temple''s elders and disciples couldn''t help but snort when they tasted it.


    They looked at each other and nodded. It wasn''t long before someone spoke in an audible voice.


    " But, Isn''t it taste the same as Blossoming Emotions?"


    " Indeed, It just increases the intensity of hotness and coldness, that''s all."


    " Four Season Valley is copying our Blissful Heaven Temple."


    All the disciples of Four Season Valley clenched their fist in anger when they heard that. Long Ming''s expression was calm when he saw some old geezers already started to speak.


    " Indeed, This feels much like the Blossoming Emotions. But the vor of Blossoming Emotions is much better."


    " Maybe Four Season Valley stole the wine recipe of Blissful Heaven Temple?"


    Luo Yingying clenched her teeth and spoke. " This wine has been already on sale in Grand Sky City''s Eternal Spring Tower. I believe it''s Blissful Heaven Temple who is giarizing our wine."


    Mo Zhu stepped forward when he heard that. " Sister Luo, You can eat anything, but you can''t say anything as you wish. On what basis you are using us?"


    " Beside, When did we giarize your wine? We only served our wine, a better wine."


    " Can you say people of that than your Grand Sky City knows about this wine?" He spoke. " I mean, you could have stole it beforehand andunch in Grand Sky City."


    " You are twisting the logic."


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming looked at Mo Zhu and gave a chuckle. " Alright, I hope all of you enjoyed our wine, It''s called Song of Summer and Winter."


    " Now, I wish to present our second wine."


    " Wait!"


    Mo Zhu spoke while looking at Long Ming. " It''s stated that each sect will give their best wine and not more than one wine. Since you already presented your Song of Summer and Winter, your turn already ended."


    Long Ming looked at the elders who were seated on the honorable seats.


    " Esteemed Elders, I hope you allow me to serve this second wine. Because both wines are joined. And by tasting both, you will able to feel the vor of our sect''s best wine."


    " But rules are rules. We can''t change them, can we?" An elder sitting beside Liu An spoke.


    " Yeah, Only one type of wine is allowed."


    " Hurry up and get down. You guys are stealing wine from Blissful Heaven Temple."


    " Yo-You!"


    The disciples of Four Seasons Valley became furious. But Long Ming remained calm.


    Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face when he heard an imposing voice echoing.


    " Well, If both wines are necessary to make us understand the Four Seasons'' Valley''s main wine, I believe we should give them a chance."

 Chapter 93 Four Seasons True Wine

    <h4>Chapter 93 Four Seasons True Wine</h4>


    The crowd turned silent when they heard the booming voice. Liu An''s expression changed when Ren Qian appeared on the stage.


    " Se-Senior Ren, You came out?"


    " Huh?"


    " Who is he?"


    Some of the old geezer''s eyes narrowed when they saw Ren Qian. " Old Ren, You are still alive, huh?"


    " What? You guys are still alive and kicking, and you want me to sleep in a coffin?" Ren Qian snorted.


    Although Ren Qian talked with the old seniors, most of the people didn''t know Ren Qian at all.


    " But ording to the rules, One party can only serve one type of wine. If one person serves more than one wine, wouldn''t it be disadvantageous to others?"


    Long Ming turned around his head and saw it was the Green Cloud Sect who made a fuss in Eternal Spring Tower because of cosying dress worn by the courteseans.


    " Well, This is Wine Gathering after all. If someone is serving a better wine, do we need to stop him?" Ren Qian spoke. " Rules are dead, but people are alive after all."


    " Besides, Why not give him a chance to exin?"


    Long Mingughed lightly and nodded. " Well, The esteemed elders, I hava e small questions for you."


    " Your precious spirit wines, will you let it drunk by a mountain buffalo?"


    " What?"


    All of the old geezers became stunned when they heard the question. " Why the hell I would let a mountain buffalo drink my precious wine."


    " Hmph, I wouldn''t even let my son drink more than a few cup, let alone a lowly beast."


    " Why is that?" Long Ming asked.


    " Why would we?" A middle aged man looked at Long Ming and snorted. " It would be a waste of our wine. How could an ordinary beast will able to understand the intent of a spirit wine? Giving such precious wine to a buffalo is the same as casting pearls before swine."


    " Well, Then all the esteemed elders, If I give wine to people who couldn''t understand its value or intent, wouldn''t be the same as giving spirit wine to a mortal ox?" Long Ming spoke. " Without knowing the history of our wine, how can fellow daoists enjoy it?"


    " Therefore, We are serving another wine to give the best experience to all the cultivators present here."


    Long Ming''s voice was loud and imposing as his dress fluttered in the wind. His voice wasn''t assertive at all, but many of them could feel the weight of his words.


    Ren Qian flung his sleeves. " Anyway, I am just here to taste wine. Even if they don''t drink, I will drink. Hurry up, Brat! And serve me."


    Long Ming cupped his fist and bowed. " Very well."


    Suddenly, another row of girls walked forward, holding a different vase of wine. If the Song of Summer and Winter presented with a vase of ming leaves and deste blizzard patterns, this new wine was served from a vase with autumn leaves and spring blossoms.


    The moment all the girls unsealed the vase, a gentle wind of wine appeared, mixed with the light smell of dry autumn wind and the smell of earth. But the next moment, they felt the flowers in the surrounding blooming as the fragrance of spring''s arrival also appeared.


    " This wine is called the Joy of Autumn and Spring." Long Ming spoke with a light smile. " As everyone felt the heat of summer and coldness of winter, now it''s your turn to feel the gentle autumn and joyous spring."


    When the disciples of Four Seasons Valley poured the wine, everyone felt the aroma of Joy of Autumn and Spring spreading across the entire ce.


    " Such rich true qi¡­Has ti umted the true qi throughout the years of fermentation?"


    " This wine even managed to create a natural phenomenon. I can''t believe Four Seasons Valley had such treasure."


    An old man drank a cup of wine and closed his eyes.


    " Haah¡­ This feels even more exquisite after drinking the Song of Summer and Winter. I can roughly feel the presence of four seasons in my body."


    " Indeed, It got the nourishing property of both true qi and spiritual qi. My mind is getting cleared after drinking both wines."


    Ren Qian drank the wine in one go and mmed the cup on the table." Here, Give me another cup!"


    Long Ming gave a coy smile. " As far as I know the rules, Everyone can only have one cup of wine, no?"


    " Fuck the rules!" Ren Qian shouted. " Didn''t I break the rules and let you serve the Joy of Autumn and Spring? Now, Give me some extra."


    " Old Ren! That''s unfair!"


    " If that''s the case, I also want some of it!"


    Long Mingughed and looked at Luo Yingying and others. Thanks to wasting over a dozen of thousands High grade Spirit stones, The Heavenly Urn of Frozen me tempered the wine for thousand years inside it, making it a potent spiritual fluid.


    " I think my bottleneck got loosened a bit."


    " Indeed, I can feel that my form of spiritual qi got a bit faster."


    The elders got another serving of wine. But no matter what, the two cups of wine were unable to sate their thirst.


    " Junior Long, Are you nning to sell this wine? I am willing to purchase it."


    " Me too. Just name your price."


    " Well, Elders, I guess we can discuss it after the event ends." Long Ming gave a bow.


    " What? Old Ren, Aren''t you going to make a move?"


    " Yeah, Why are you silent?"


    Ren Qing''s fingers were crossed before his face as he looked at Long Ming. " I am more interested in that wooden vase beside you. What is that?"


    Suddenly, everyone''s eyes narrowed when they saw a wooden vase beside Long Ming. Long Ming''s grin turned wide when he heard that." Well, How should I say? This one¡­is neither for taste nor for sale."


    "Heh, I knew it. You are saving the best stuff for all yourself, aren''t you?"


    Long Ming shrugged. " I believe the Song of Summer and Winter and Joy of Autumn and Spring is already enough. But if elders insist¡­"


    " But this wine, only honorable elders will able to drink it.


    The moment Long Ming opened the wooden vase, the surround became filled with four types of qi as the phenomenon of four seasons appeared. Ren Qian took a sip and started tough out loud.


    " Indeed, Indeed! This is really something that gives the taste of Four Seasons Valley."


    " Such wine¡­ How long it took to ferment? It blended four types of vr so masterfully."


    " Ugh¡­ To think I will get intoxicated by a wine at this age."


    " Haha! Yes! It got the spike!"


    Long Ming gave a bow and walked down from the stage.


    " Hey brat! Why don''t you sell me a jar of that wine!"


    " I have some pills that can help you¡­"


    Long Ming looked at the sky andughed. " This is called the Four Seasons True Wine. This is the origin wine which got derived into Song of Summer and Winter and Joy of Autumn and Spring."


    " However, brewing it is much tougher. So, I can''t say our sect elders will allow us to sell the wine."


    " What a load of bullshit!"


    " Lies!"


    Long Ming shrugged when he heard that.? " I don''t have much power in my hand."


    " But before leaving the stage, I would like to show you something."


    Everyone became curious when they saw LongMingw having his finger. A bubble of wine floated out from the jar of Song of Summer and Winter.


    "Our sect produced this wine. So, we know quite a few things about this. For example¡­"


    With a sh of crimson light, the Scarlet Yang Qi erupted from Long Ming''s finger and fused with the blob of wine.''


    " If we use extreme temperature, the wine will show the trait of the opposite of it. Like, since I am heating it with my qi¡­"


    The blob of wine became icy blue as it radiated faint coldness. When Long Ming stopped using his Scarlet Yang Qi, the icy blue light faded, bing a blend of fire and ice once again.


    " But, This is... interesting this is¡­"


    Long Ming took another ss and performed the same experiment. The moment the blob of wine turned faint blue, the Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples'' expressions changed instantly.


    " This wine also shows the same traits." Long Ming smiled as he turned around. " And this one is called the Blossoming Emotions."


    " As for what I wanted to prove¡­ Unless some people deliberately didn''t want to ept, the truth is bare and open before everyone."


    " Junior Sisters, Let''s go."


    " Yes, Senior Brother."


    All the female disciples of Four Season Valley gave a polite bow and followed Long Ming back. Many gazes followed their path as they sighed.


    " Damn it, Although we tasted two wines, thest wine must be the king amongst them."


    " s, he only served the honorable elders. But the scent...It was much better than Song of Summer and Winter and Joy of Autumn and Spring."


    " I wonder if he will really sell the wine."


    Many people regretted not being able to drink the Four Seasons True Wine. But since Long Ming kept it a secret, they can only wait till the right time to ask him about it.


    " Senior Brother, You are so amazing!"


    " You! You really prepared a new wine!"


    " Hehe, I am sure we are definitely going to get a spot in the top five."


    Long Ming looked at the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple who were gritting their teeth. People who supported their Blossoming Wine didn''t look at them anymore.


    But rather than them, they all tried to get wines from Four Seasons Valley Disciples.


    " Just how much our strength has fallen that all the sects looking at us?" Long Ming sighed. " Not to mention, Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Sects are definitely our enemies. Many old geezers are also thinking that they can suppress the Four Seasons Valley, huh?"


    " Hmph, Not matter what, We will protect our sect." Luo Yingying spoke. " After all, We have you, Senior Brother."


    " Haha, Is that so?" Long Ming gave an amused smile when he heard that.


    Suddenly, a rich wood qi spread through the atmosphere as everyone looked at the stage. The natural energy of wood made the tree sway and the grass grew. Suddenly, a green antelope with vines and flowers on its horn appeared and soared to the sky.


    " Such dense Wood qi!"


    " Look! Isn''t that Earthen Forest Antelope? Such phenomenon¡­"


    " This is an Immortal Wine! Such vitality and vigor... Just smelling it will increase a mortal''s lifespan by years!"


    Wearing a shabby cloth, a young man held an ordinary gourd. " I brought wine for Liu Family. I won''t be serving anyone but them."

 Chapter 94 Long Ming’s Decision

    <h4>Chapter 94 Long Ming''s Decision </h4>


    Long Ming''s eyelid shrunk when he saw that young man. Although his clothes were shabby, the aura didn''t hide from Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    A powerful aura was hidden in that young man''s body as it resonated with the surrounding true qi. With the Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see a powerful aura of bloodline turning into a phantom of a gigantic ape.


    The ck colored demonic ape got a tremendous physique as it could shake mountains and turn the rivers.


    " Wh-Who is that person?"


    " Such audacity! Who does he think he is?"


    " But that wine¡­ That''s an Immortal Wine. The fragrance along is so rejuvenating. What if we take a sip from that gourd?"


    Ren Qian stood up when he saw that young man. " Are you the disciple of Old Leaf?"


    The young man looked at Ren Qian and bowed. " Indeed, I am Han Cheng, the disciple of Daoist Fallen Leaf. My Master said that the Purple Light Pavilion will be a good experience for me. Therefore, he sent his wine, Essence of Ancient Forest."


    Ren Qiangughed out loud when he heard that. " I see, I guess that bastard is still alive and kicking, huh? He even gave his Essence of Ancient Forest to you?"


    Rubbing his chin, he nodded. " En, You''re a brat with good potential. The Purple Light Pavilion will definitely help you."


    The gourd floated andnded on Ren Qian''s hand. Ren Qian didn''t drink it immediately but stored that wine in his storage.


    " Old Ren! That''s not fair! I also want to have some of that!"


    " Just a small sip will be enough!"


    " Old bastard, don''t hog everything to yourself!"


    Ren Qian snorted. " You old geezers, you already drunk more than enough. Too much wine isn''t good for health, you know?"


    "Besides, since we already tasted so many wines, shouldn''t we discuss the ranking?"


    " En, Now you said that¡­"


    " The first ce naturally belongs to Han Cheng. The Essence of Ancient Forest is naturally one of the best wines I tasted in my life. Not to mention, its potency is enough to make a Harmonization realm cultivator drunk."


    " But you didn''t let us drink that though¡­"


    Long Ming clicked his tongue when he heard that. He thought after spending all that time and spirit stones, his Four Seasons True Wine will get first ce. But just by smelling the fragrance of the Essence of Ancient Forest, Long Ming realized that Han Cheng''s wine is worthy of first ce.


    " Daoist Fallen Leaf? Is he someone famous?"


    " Yeah, What about him? Isn''t this against the rules?"


    " Daoist Fallen Leaf¡­ Wait, Could it be¡­" An old cultivator was shocked when he remembered. " He is the Grand Elder of Heavenly Cloud Garden, one of the grand sects in the Central Province."


    " What? Heavenly Cloud Garden?"


    The name resounded like thunder when the old cultivator said that. Everyone looked at Han Cheng in a new light.


    " Hey, What''s this Heavenly Cloud Garden?" Long Ming whispered in Luo Yingying''s ears.


    " Senior Brother doesn''t know?" Luo Yingying was stunned. " The Heavenly Cloud Garden is one of the ancient sects across the entire Rain Dragon Continent, they were even older than our Four Seasons Valley." Luo Yingying spoke.


    " Producing Seven Heavenly Emperors, their history stretches two eras back. Even when our Four Seasons Valley was a prominent power in Eastern Province, we had to give face to Heavenly Cloud Garden."


    " Damn, They do feel powerful." Long Ming chuckled when he heard that.


    '' Fuck, Shouldn''t I have reincarnated as the wasted young master of Heavenly Cloud Garden who is actually a super genius?'' Long Ming became amused.


    '' But well, At least Inded into a sect filled with flowers and beauties¡­''


    " But then, What is he doing here? Shouldn''t he stay in the Heavenly Cloud Garden and cultivate?"


    " Well, It''s not unnatural." Luo Yingying replied. " Weak or strong, disciples of all sect and ns ventures out to seek fortuitous encounters by themselves. After all, walking a thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books."


    " Hmm, You''re right. In the end, experience matters along with theoretical knowledge." Long Ming nodded.


    " Also, there are countlessnds and forbidden zones filled with infinite treasures. The treasure troves of ancient eras, legacies of Heavenly Emperors, natural treasures of heaven and earth, no matter how big a sect is, they couldn''t possess all of them."


    " Alright, The second ce goes to the, The Four Seasons True Wine of the Four Seasons Valley!"


    " Senior Brother! We did it!"


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin grabbed Long Ming''s arm as they danced with joy. Even Luo Yingying couldn''t help but grin like a fool.


    Long Ming let out augh as he nodded. " Alright, We can celebrateter. Now, just calm down and enjoy the show."


    " The third ce goes to the Gentle Violet Breeze of Violet Cloud Sect."


    " Fourth ce goes to the Blossoming Emotions of Blissful Heaven Temple."


    " The Fifth ce goes to the Sacred Sword Wine of Six Sword Pavilion."


    The top five ces were dered. The Four Seasons Valley and Blissful Heaven Temple disciples red at each other.


    Liu An walked on the stage and gave a heartyugh. " Haha, This year''s Wine Gathering is perhaps one of the best ones. To think we will manage to get so many types of wine."


    " However, since the ranking has been dered, we will proceed to the next stage right away. All the cultivators, Please follow me."


    Long Ming looked at his surroundings and saw everyone''s expressions brighten up, as if they are going to receive their biggest reward.


    Liu Jiang stood among them with a light smile. " Please, stand inside the formation."


    Long Ming and others followed him and reached a circr terrace. Suddenly, the surrounding pirs shone with a blinding light as their surroundings changed.


    They appeared right before a majestic ce, with a gigantic stone b with purple veins in front of them, The stone b looked more like a gigantic stone wall, with heights over hundreds of meters.


    Everyone stood more than a hundred meters from that stone b, but they could feel the tremendous aura emitted from the stone b. The purple veins looked like meridians as they pulsed with a strange rhythm.


    " This is the Purple Crystal Pavilion, a legacy left behind by our progenitor." Liu An spoke with pride. " When he ascended to the Grand Heaven Ascension Realm, he used his will to cleave this mountain. Imbued with the blessing of the grand dao of heaven and earth, he made this Purple Crystal Pavilion."


    " This stone pir is imbued with the dao of heaven and earth. If you sit near its vicinity andprehend it, you will be surrounded by a purple halo. The brighter the halo, the greater blessing you will receive."


    " With a brighter halo, you will be able to gain insight into various daoist intents and achieve a breakthrough. You might even get some mystical techniques, who knows?"


    Liu Jie looked at his father and nodded. " Everyone, from the top five rankings, each sect will send three disciples to the Core Zone of Purple Crystal Pavilion. Everyone will stay there for three days."


    Long Ming looked at Liu Jie as he asked, " Brother Liu, What is the difference between the zones?"


    " Well, How should I exin?" Liu Jie scratched his forehead. " Originally, the entire ce was a single zone. But then, one of our ancestors decided to create a formation to differentiate the power of the stone b."


    " The Core Zone is filled with the pure aura of the stone b while the Outer Zone is with less aura. So basically, gaining insight into intent is much easier than the Outer and Inner Zone."


    " So, It''s like¡­ With enoughprehension, one can get the same effect as the Core Zone in Outer Zone?"


    " Well, You can put it that way."


    All the sects decided their candidates. Han Cheng was alone as he carried a saber on his waist. Without wasting any time, he walked to the Core Zone.


    " Senior Brother, You and Sister Yingying should go too."


    Long Ming looked at Shui Huan as heughed. " Well, I have a better n."


    " WHAT! TH-THAT''S ABSURD!"


    All the disciples of Four Seasons Valley looked at Long Ming with surprised expressions. Luo Yingying shook her head furiously."


    " You are simply throwing away a god sent opportunity. This time, you are the one who deserves the reward, Senior Brother."


    Long Ming grinned. " Well, Don''t worry about me. With this n, our sect will be benefited much more."


    " But what about you?!"


    Long Mingughed. " I will be fine."


    Ren Qian opened his eyes and looked at Long Ming. " Hehe, What do you want this time, brat?"


    " Another favor?" Long Ming grinned as he handed the wooden vase to Ren Qian. " Although this is nothing in front of the Essence of Ancient Forest, I will do my best to gift you a better wine in the future."


    Ren Qianughed out loud as he grabbed the vase,


    " I am listening."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Hmm? Wait!"


    " Look at that!"


    While disciples of all sects converged in the Core Zone of Purple Crystal Pavilion, everyone became shocked when they looked at the line up of Four Seasons Valley.


    The three chosen disciples were: Lin Xie, Shui Huan, and Chen Yin.

 Chapter 95 Purple Dao Halo

    <h4>Chapter 95 Purple Dao Halo</h4>


    Everyone present there became shocked when they saw the line up of Four Seasons Valley. Long Ming already said that he was the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley.


    As the privilege of a True Disciple, his spot in the Core Zone should be fixed as a rock.


    However, to think he will allow his fellow disciples to go forward instead of him.


    " Wait, He is also going forward though."


    " Eh? But isn''t that¡­"


    Liu An looked at everyone and rified the situation. " Well, Fellow Daoists, There has been a little change in the situation."


    " Four Seasons Valley''s True Disciple Long Ming asked us to let his junior disciples enter the Core Zone. However, many of the elders decided that it will be a waste of his talent."


    " Therefore, we have given him a spot in the Outer Zone. He can cultivate there for three days."


    Everyone became stunned when they heard that. Among the outer, inner and core zone, the outer zone was definitely the worst one. Even those who wishes to get enlightened in the Purple Crystal Pavilion save money for the Inner Zone, if not the Core Zone.


    " Haha! Such stupedity! Does he think treasures like Purple Crystal Pavilions aremon as cabages?"


    " Well, I think he forfeited beforehand because he knew he wouldn''t be able toprehend anything from the purple stone pir."


    " Such a poor fellow."


    The disciples of Four Seasons Valley became enraged when they heard the mockery of the Green Cloud Sect and Blissful Heaven Temple.


    " You! What kind of bullshit you are speaking?"


    " Our Senior Brother''sprehension is so heavenly that he can receive the blessing in Outer Zone!"


    " Such a bunch of ignorant bastards!"


    Lin Xie took a deep breath and patted the shoulder of Shui Huan. " Shui Huan, Calm down. Senior Brother has given us such a precious opportunity after so much trouble."


    " Since he put his faith in us, we must show him that we are worthy of his trust."


    " Indeed, Lin Xie is right." Chen Yin nodded. " We need to utilize these three days worth of time to improve our techniques. We must show everyone that Senior Brother did nothing wrong when he gave us this chance."


    Shui Huan calmed her breath as she looked at her two senior sisters. She nodded, " Yes, Sister Chen and Sister Lin. We must make Senior Brother proud and p the faces of all these bastards."


    " Alright, Everyone, please pick your ce to cultivate. The formation sealing the power of the Purple Crystal Pavilion will be unsealed."


    Hearing the call, all the disciples assumed their positions near the stone pir. Ling Yuan looked at Long Ming who was standing far away.


    '' Hmm, To think you will do such a thing¡­ What are you nning?'' Ling Yuan muttered under his breath before he focused back on the stone pir.


    Han Cheng also gave a strange look to Long Ming.


    Long Ming''s robe fluttered in the wind as he held his paper fan. His expression was calm like he wouldn''t flinch even if the sky copses


    . The overwhelming aura of calm and tranquility was reloving around him like a tidal wave, like an immortal looking at mortal dust.


    Suddenly, runic light shed as the purple veins on the stone b in the middle pulsed like veins. A purple colored aura soared as the expression of all disciples in the Core Zone changed.


    " Fuck! What pressure!"


    " It was like I am being gazed at by heaven itself!"


    " Ahh! My body!"


    Some disciples got overwhelmed by the pressure of the purple aura as they increased the distance between themselves and the stone b. Some of them even reached the edge of the Inner Zone.


    The scene of Purple Stone Courtyard was ryed directly to the main courtyard of the Liu Family, where everyone could see the scene on light screens.


    " Haha, Look at them. They are distancing themselves from the stone pir."


    " It looks like they don''t understand." An old cultivator sighed. " The greater the pressure, the better chance to get insight into an Intent."


    " But then, The pressure was really something. It took me a whole day to adjust to the pressure."


    " Now you say, It was indeed tough."


    However, many disciples didn''t flinch from their position as they gritted their teeth and persisted. Han Cheng, Ling Yuan, and Mo Zhu, of them didn''t show much reaction.


    Lin Xie, Chen Yin, and Shui Huan didn''t show any expression as they sat in their ce.


    " Such feeling¡­"


    " Sister Lin, Is it just me¡­"


    " Yeah, I am also feeling that I already adjusted to pressure. Not to mention¡­ It was a bit¡­ less pressurized than Senior Brother''s aura."


    All of them exchanged surprised nces with each other when Chen Yin said that.


    " Since that''s the case, Let''s squeeze theplete value of this stone wall."


    Long Ming looked at their reactions from far as he was satisfied. '' I guess the nightly training of their spiritual qi in the forest finally came out handy."


    During the training week inside Southern Green Mountain, the girls trained their physique and qi cultivation during the daytime. However, in the night, Long Ming used his Thirty Six Soul Arts along with his Deste Immortal Aura to create pressure on the souls of the disciples of Four Seasons Valley.


    The constant torment of Long Ming''s spiritual qi toughens up the souls of the Four Seasons Valley''s disciples.


    But what Long Ming didn''t know was that by mixing the spiritual qi in such an intimate way, he also developed affection between himself and the girls pretty deeply.


    " Alright, Since they already found their seats, I should also start then." Long Ming nodded as he sat in the Outer Zone.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he looked at the gigantic stone pir and the pulsing purple veins. Suddenly, the spiritual his surged out as his Deste Immortal Aura erupted.


    Long Ming''s vision plunged into darkness as the only thing that remained was the stone pir at the center of the Purple Crystal Pavilion.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    A few hours passed as the eyes of the audience glued to the light screens. Suddenly, one of them shouted.


    " Look! A ring appeared!"


    " It was Han Cheng!"


    Han Cheng sat cross legged before the stone pir as a purple halo appeared around him. The purple halo shone as the mystical rhythm of heaven and earth appeared around him.


    An apparition of a gigantic ape appeared behind Han Cheng as it let out a roar. Suddenly, the crimson blood energy soared from Han Cheng''s bdy as the ape opened its mouth and started to devour the purple light from the stone wall.


    " Th-That!"


    " Heaven''s! He is refining his bloodline with the help of the Purple Crystal Pavilion?"


    " If my eyes are seeing the truth, that must be the Dark Sky Demon Ape bloodline. And, the density of his bloodline is no joke. It''s already a Royal grade bloodline that can cultivate a Royal grade physique."


    As time passed, the purple light gathered around the demon ape as the phantom became more and more clear.


    After one day passed, another ring of halo appeared around Han Cheng''s body.


    But at that moment, the purple halo converged somewhere else as it congealed into a sharp sword intent. The Sword Intent turned into an apparition of an ancient sword with a violet tint as it soared to the sky.


    " Ling Yuan managed to gain a halo also!"


    " Look at that! Such a profound sword intent!"


    "There isn''t only sword intent around him. Look at that!"


    Suddenly, the purple halo turned into a scenery around him. The sky turned clear as powerful vitality surged from his body. A daoist stood up as it raised the sword and pointed to the sky. An incredible battle intent soared through the sword as the onlookers became amazed.


    " Is that Sky Fighting Royal Body?"


    " Such mighty aura! It''s really like a battle crazed general raising his sword!"


    " He finished the Initial Completion and reached the Minor Completion of his physique."


    It didn''t take long before halos appeared around other disciples. What made people shocked was that Lin Xie, Chen Yin, and Shui Huan also gained a single ring halo.


    Shui Huan''s surrounding soared with a scorching me as it condensed into a ming saber. The saber qi rang as it condensed more and more.


    Lin Xie''s domain of frozen energy increased as a blizzard appeared around her. Multiple mystical seals of icy blue color floated around her as they absorbed the purple light.


    As for Chen Yin, the wind soared as it turned into sharp, invisible swords floated around her. The fallen leaves swept by as they turned to mighty flying swords.


    " The disciples of Four Seasons Valley are really talented. All three of them gained a purple halo."


    " s, Long Ming could have been one of them if he was there."


    " Who knows? Maybe he wasn''t that talented after all."


    Everyone gave a pitiful gaze to Long Ming who was sitting alone in Outer Zone. He was in a meditative state, but there wasn''t any halo around him at all.


    " Heh, What a pathetic person. It''s a waste of time to watch him."


    The elder of Blissful heaven Temple snorted.


    Meanwhile¡­


    " There are so many techniques¡­ Which one should Iprehend?"


    " Oh wait, Let''s go for the best ones¡­"

 Chapter 96 Secret of Purple Crystal Pavilion

    <h4>Chapter 96 Secret of Purple Crystal Pavilion</h4>


    Long Ming was initially conflicted when he chose Lin Xie, Chen Yin, and Shui Huan for the Purple Crystal Pavilion''s Core Zone.


    The reason he didn''t choose Luo Yingying was because she was proficient in the dao of rune inscription. There would be many other chances for her.


    However, These three got the better fighting force among the other disciples. Giving them opportunities is the same as increasing the power of Four Seasons Valley.


    When Liu Jiang replied that the division of zones just dived the pressure from the stone wall, Long Ming was relieved. That meant that it will only increase the dy of someone''s immersion in the stone wall. Other than that, one can stillprehend the dao rhythm of the stone wall from the Outer Zone.


    And the thing Long Ming least worried about wasprehension. When he saw all three disciples of Four Seasons Valley get adjusted to the pressure of the Core Zone, he sighed in relief.


    " Alright, I should start now."


    When he used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, his heavenlyprehension heart also activated simultaneously. Suddenly, his surrounding faded as the only thing that shone in the darkness was the gigantic stone pir.


    With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming could see countless runic chains squirming around the stone pirs like snakes. Each of them bore the grand dao of heaven and earth.


    It was filled with the enlightenment of the ancestor of the Liu Family. Not to mention, there are various techniques hidden among the rhythm of dao.


    Long Ming already found various Royal Grade techniques and Noble Grade techniques as he used his ''Skill Learn'' technique to learn immediately. Not to mention, he found two impressive Imperial grade techniques.


    " Anyway, If I sell these things, I might even fork a good load of money. Not to mention, this spiritual technique will go well with me Thirty Six Soul Art."


    '' But, What if I merge Thirty Six Sou Art, Origin Soul Refining Art, and this Mist Spirit Technique¡­''


    Long Ming''sprehensionpared these three things with each other as he forgot the flow of the time. He realized that with his ability, It won''t take long before he might create a brand new technique that could even rival an Imperial grade technique.


    '' Hehe, Look at me. I am just at the Viole Pce Expansion Realm yet trying to make my own spiritual technique. Shame on you, once in a thousand year geniuses!''


    Long Ming immersed himself in fusing the techniques. They were like various puzzles, Long Ming just need to piece them together correctly.


    '' A spiritual technique that can recover my spiritual qi along with attacking and defending¡­ If I do it like this¡­''


    Long Ming forgot that he was sitting in Purple Crystal Courtyard. Currently, he was solely focused on creating new spiritual art for himself.


    He didn''t realize how much time passed. But he felt like at least a day would have passed.


    '' But anyway¡­ To think I finally managed to create a whole spiritual technique by myself!''


    Long Ming suddenly felt his soul stirring as the spiritual qi revolved around him crazily. It was already a humanoid shaped soul. But now, its arms and legs became more defined. What''s more, Long Ming felt like it even grew a pair of eyes.


    Suddenly, he felt his spiritual qi surging as the tiny soul figure absorbed it all together. Long Ming felt his spiritual qi bing stronger and sharper than before.


    '' Eh? I didn''t know what happened. But I guess it''s a good sign?'' Long Ming let out a sigh of relief.


    '' Let''s call this technique¡­Eternal True Spirit Art.'' Long Ming rubbed under his nose as he nodded. After all, such a grand name is necessary for a powerful technique after all.


    " Now¡­What should I do?" Long Ming''s gaze fell back on the stone pir. When he saw the pulsing purple veins, a sudden thought appeared in his mind.


    " Veins¡­Meridians¡­Body?!"


    Long Ming''s eyelid shrunk as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes focused on the outline of the veins. After a while, realized that it was indeed a body technique inscribed on the stone wall.


    Suddenly, countless images shed before Long Ming''s eyes as if he was thrown into someone''s memories.


    He saw an old man standing while holding a shining silver scimitar. His dark purple robe fluttered as he looked at the sky.


    The sky was filled with dark blue clouds as multi colored lightning shed angrily. It was as if heaven was about to deliver its punishment.


    " Fine! Let me take the test before my ascension!"


    Long Ming''s eyes shrunk when the old man raised his scimitar. Suddenly, a purple aura burst from his body as a gigantic purple mountain appeared behind him.


    It was like a divine mountain, filled with auspicious purple light. The mountain spanned across thousand miles and the peak soared from the clouds.


    *BOOM BOOOM*


    The cloud parted as lightning fell like a waterfall from the jar. The bright blue lightning filled with a white sh as it fell down on that old man.


    The purple mountain soared as it resisted the lightning from heaven. Every time the lightning bombarded the mountain, cracks appeared on the mountain.


    " Break for me!"


    The scimitar shed with mercury silver light as it turned into a giant silver snake. The silver snake moved its body as it shed apart the lightning pirs.


    The silver snake showed its brilliance as the lightning got torn apart. The old man''s body merged with the purple mountain as it soared to the sky.


    Various magical seals appeared around the mountain as gigantic hands erupted from it. The old man moved her sleeves as the palms blocked the heavenly lightning.


    But then, the lightning became a deeper shade of blue as its intensity increased. They were like lightning dragons charging toward the old man, trying to destroy the purple mountain along with him.


    The lightning fell on the old man''s body as his body cracked and ruby like blood dripped on the ground. The purple mountain was also reduced to merely its 1/10th size.


    " I see¡­ So, that''s it¡­"


    Long Ming felt the entire world rumble and the mountains copsed. The purple mountain turned bright purple and surrounded the old man like crystal armor.


    The lightning strikes finally ceased as the dark blue cloud faded. The old man broke the purple crystal around him as he walked out. However, at that moment, he returned to his youth and turned into a young man.


    The crumbled purple crystals fell on the ground, forming massive craters. The man floated in the sky as he raised his hands. Words of bright golden light shed around his body like a daoist mantra.


    " To think I understood the Imperial Phyqiuew after reaching the Grand Heaven Ascension Realm. But then, the gain isn''t meaningless at all.


    Suddenly, the golden revolving words turned into a bright pir of light as it causing the fallen crystal pieces to float.


    This time, instead of a purple mountain, a gigantic golden mountain erupted around him. It gave off a divine light, as if it was a mountain beyond the heavenly realm.


    The purple crystal pieces trembled under its pressure as the young man closed his eyes and reloved those pieces.


    They turned into a purple stone pir and stabbed the ground. The divine golden mountain returned to the state of golden words and merged into the purple pir.


    " My descendent who is worthy of this physique technique will naturally get it. Consider this as a blessing from me." The man''s voice rang throughout the air.


    Years after years passed as Long Ming witnessed the rise of the Liu Family and practice various techniques. The Purple Pir became the ancestral ground for the members of the Liu Family.


    Not to mention, many of theter generation geniuses got enlightened and created various techniques thanks to the blessing of the pir.


    That''s how the name'' Purple Crystal Pavilion'' came into existence.


    However, Other than three, no one managed to find the ultimate secret of the purple stone pir.


    And now, Long Ming became the fourth.


    " So this is an Imperial Physique cultivation technique. The Progenitor of the Liu Family cultivated the Purple Mystic Mountain Physique. But then, when he ascended to the Grand Heaven Ascension Realm, heprehended the heavenly dao and found a way to improve his own physique.


    And the technique was left behind for the disciples of the Liu n to cultivate. But now, it fell into Long Ming''s hand.


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah! It''s almost three days."


    " Han Cheng is really fearsome. He refined his bloodline to another stage. Just his bloodline pressure can make someone breathless."


    " Ling Yuan''s sword intent isn''t low either. He merged his sword intent along with his Sky Fightining Royal Physique, increasing his strength tremendously."


    " And the disciples of Four Seasons Valleys are monsters too. All three of them gain inside into their respective techniques."


    " s¡­"


    Everyone looked at Long Ming as they gave a sigh of pity.


    Long Ming was still sitting in the Outer Zone, without a single purple halo. There wasn''t any phenomenon around him, just him meditating like a mortal.


    " Hehe, He is just trash with good looks."


    " Maybe that''s why he spends his time in Eternal Spring Tower."


    The Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples didn''t let the chance go to waste. After all, they already had enough of Long Ming''s charisma.


    '' Hmm, Did that brat fail?''


    Ren Qian rubbed his beard as he sat under a tree as he drank wine.


    But then, his pupil shrunk as he stood up.


    " THIS¡­!!!"


    Everyone felt a torrent of true qi as they looked at the screen. The weather slowly changed due to the surge of true qi.


    " Lo-Look at that!"


    " The stone pir is trembling!"


    Those sitting in the Core Zone got jolted as their body got crushed by tremendous pressure.


    " What is happening?!"


    Suddenly, the pulsing purple being on the stone pir turned bright golden as it turned into a pir of light and soared to the sky. Like a waterfall of liquid gold, it descended on Long Ming''s body.


    Long Ming''s body started to float as he basked in the radiant light. The light slowly outlined an immense mountain.


    His divine sea churned as he mumbled quietly. Like the gates of the abyss opening, a pitch ck figure jumped out from it.


    " Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique! Awaken!"


    " Devour the Great Mystical Mountain Imperial Physique!"

 Chapter 97 Long Ming’s Cultivation Got Revealed!

    <h4>Chapter 97 Long Ming''s Cultivation Got Revealed!</h4>


    The moment Long Mingprehended the entire Great Mystic Mountain Imperial Physique technique inscribed on the stone wall, he felt like his spiritual qi got connected with the stone pir itself.


    '' Ah, to think the pir also contained the spirit blood essence of a Grand Heaven Ascension cultivator. If I manage to absorb this, I can cultivate the Great Mystic Mountain Imperial Physique.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    He understood that his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique could devour other physiques and utilize them as his own. However, he wondered if he could cultivate other physiques from scratch thanks to the ''Devouring'' property of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    After all, thanks to his system''s ''Fuck around and find out advice'', Long Ming was eager to try out this method.


    When the golden lightnded on his body, Long Ming felt like his entire body got crushed by a paramount force. His breathing and blood cirction stopped immediately as he faced terrible suffocation.


    '' Suc-Such a great weight!'' Long Ming''s thought inwardly as he visualized the Great Mystic Mountain Imperial Phsyque before him.


    The power of the physiquees from the word, ''Mountain'' itself.? The ''mountain'' of eight trigrams represents unyielding and stable in its ce. It also grants supreme authority in a small space, giving tremendous power to the user.


    When ''Mountain'' and ''Mountain'' meet, it creates ''Bound'' and ''Hardness''. Not only does it gives the property of ''weight'' but it also gives great defensive capabilities.


    Long Ming''s heart became focused on the word mountain itself as if he was envisioning a great mountain before his eyes. He saw the blood essence turn into a crystal ruby and floated before him before it consumed the word ''Mountain'' and rushed into his body.


    *CRACK CRACK*


    Long Ming coughed out a mouthful of blood as all the bones of his body cracked in that instant and his internal organ turned into a bloody mush. That drop of blood was like a blood mountain, crushing the body and soul of Long Mingpletely.


    Long Ming''s spiritual qi and true surged out crazily as his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique erupted. The pitch ck dragon opened its eyes as it swallowed the ruby drop.


    He also activated the trait of Spatial Light Physique to suppress the power of Great Mystic Moutain Physique. Using the power of Spatial Light Physique, the pitch ck dragon increase its size as it consumed the drop of blood and refined it crazily.


    The blood drop pulsed out with a tremendous light as it ripped apart the ck dragon.


    Long Ming felt a body tearing pain, but he clenched his teeth and continued to refine that drop of blood. The ck dragon emerged again as the fight continued.


    Every time the blood drop ripped apart the ck dragon, a part of it would weaken. Although it gave tremendous injury to Long Ming''s body, he didn''t get down and endured the pain.


    Besides, the Spatial Light Physique constrained the blood drop, making it unable to move and reducing its weight.


    Long Ming didn''t realize how much time passed. But the blood drop became weaker and weaker as the ck dragon finally refined it and plunged back into his divine sea.


    After gaining the Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique, Long Ming''s divine sea turned into a giant abyss, with nine Celestial Pirs surrounding it, which were his pce foundation pirs.


    Long Ming''s body waspletely destroyed. His organs were ruined, the bones were powered and flesh and meridians were torn apart.


    In coarse terms, Long Ming''s state was like a human meat patty.


    But then, the blood of Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator got refined by his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique as an endless vitality burst forth his body.


    Utilizing the Great Mystic Mountain Physique art, Long Ming''s body got reconstructed bit by bit. His flesh regenerated and bone connected, and his organs became vigorous again.


    Unlike Spatial Light Physique which he doesn''t have much experience and Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique which he doesn''t know a shit about, he received all the information about the Great Mystic Mountain Physique thanks to the stone pir.


    Long Ming felt like his body was getting destroyed again and again, only to be reconstructed into a stronger physique. It was the first time he was feeling the true power of a special physique.


    But then, he suddenly felt a strange feeling. His Celestial Pirs buzzed as the true qi surged in his divine sea.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi and Scarlet Yang Qi soared like tidal was as they merged and condensed into a small space.


    '' This¡­ This is True Core Formation Realm!?'' Long Ming was surprised when he realized he was involuntarily about to reach the True Formation Stage.


    '' Eh? But I didn''t see any system confirmation at all. Anyways, This is a good chance to increase my cultivation.''


    Long Ming focused his power on the two different types of qi concentrated in his divine sea.


    In True Core Formation Realm, one needs to consolidate the true qi into a sphere, which is also known as the core.


    Generally, the cultivator uses True qi condense into the True Core. However, those who have powerful cultivation technique uses various other qi to create their core, thus improving the core with both quality and quantity.


    There are four types of core, the same as the pce foundation. Cracked Core, Gray Core, Polished Core, and Brilliant Core. Unless some rare heavenly treasures are used, once a core is formed, it can''t be changed.


    However, Long Ming read that there is also a type of core beyond the Gold Core.


    Long Ming focused his Scarlet Yang Qi and Fragrant Yin Qi to condense into the core. However, he also used the power of his three physiques simultaneously.


    The attribute of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique, the space attribute energy of Spatial Light Physique, and the weight and defense of Great Mystic Mountain Physique erupted simultaneously.


    Multiple types of energy converged into a single point as Long Ming''s Celestial Pir shone with a brilliant light.


    '' Condense!''


    Thanks to his heavenlyprehension, he didn''t need to condense each energy one by one. Merging all of them, Long Ming used the purest qi to create his core.


    Suddenly, he felt a rumble throughout his body as a small bean size core formed. It crazily absorbed the qi from Long Ming''s body as it became bigger and bigger.


    Suddenly, Long Ming opened his eyes, which shone with an azure brilliance. He saw that he was still bathing from the golden light of the stone pir, which gave him an endless source of true qi.


    However, his hair stood on its end as he looked above. He could see dark clouds forming in the sky as a white colored lightning danced among them.


    '' Nah, You gotta be kidding me.'' Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes felt a pricking sensation when he tried to peer at those clouds.


    Without any doubt, he realized it was heaven''spdog, The heavenly tribtion.


    " Damn it, I hope it''s only a weather-"


    *CHIIII*


    *CRACKLEEE BOOM!*


    Long Ming''s entire body was covered with white light as lightning fell on his body.


    " AHHH!"


    Long Ming screamed in pain felt as he felt like his entire body got charred. The clouds rumbled again, preparing for the next strike.


    '' Fuck! You are fucking with me?'' Long Ming clenched his fist as he stood up. His entire body but burnt.


    '' Great Mystic Mountain Physique! Appear!"


    A divine mountain appeared around Long Ming as its peaks soared to the sky. This time, two strikes of lightning fell from the sky. The misty mountain shone with brilliance as it endured the lightning.


    Although Long Mings still felt the pain, it was a far crypared to the first strike.


    But what made him ted was that the Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique devoured the lightning and forced it into his newly formed core.


    After two more rounds, the clouds dissipated as the sky became clear again.


    It was total chaos outside the Purple Crystal Pavilion. The light screen got cut off immediately after Long Ming''s body was covered with the golden brilliance of the stone pir. Many of them tried to see what is happening there, but the formations around Purple Crystal Pavilion blocked their senses.


    But then, they became more shocked when they saw the dark clouds.


    " Holy! Tribtion clouds?"


    " Who is undergoing heavenly tribtion?"


    Liu An''s face became solemn when he saw that. " The tribtion cloud looks much weaker. I don''t think it''s the Harmonization Realm Tribtion."


    " Could it be¡­ It''s Golden Core?"


    " Golden Core? The perfection of True Core Formation Realm?"


    " Wait, How it could be Long Ming?"


    " I don''t think so¡­"


    The confusion among the crowd increased. Ren Qin chuckled when he heard them.? Caressing the formation te, he mumbled.


    " Not bad, Kid. Think this as a favor from me."


    " HAHA! Where are you running, huh?! Give me some more xp!" Long Mingughed out loud as he gave a middle finger to the sky. The Great Mystic Mountain Physique was really up to his name.


    Long Ming alreadypleted Initial Completion thanks to the blood essence. But with the tribtion lightning, he reached the Minor Completion stage in one go.


    He felt his body was much more vigours and resilient. But the most noteworthy thing was the robust true qi inside him. His core gave a multicolored brilliance with a golden ray as he felt the power of his Fragrant Yin Qi and Scarlet Yang Qi be more powerful.


    [ Ding! Constetion Hardship Lover (Not Masochist) gives you praise for endurance. You received 50 Star Coins]


    Long Ming was dumbfounded when he saw that. " Eh, This dude seems kinda sus¡­"


    " But anyways, Money is money."


    Long Ming stretched his body lightly as he saw everyone from Core Zone looking at him.


    " Shit! My clothes got destroyed?"


    Long Ming hurriedly covered his body with a robe as he adjusted his attire. " Ahem, Nothing happened. Besides¡­ Lin Xie and Chen Yi already saw me, right?"


    Long Ming saw the disciples at the Core Zone looking at him with a shocked expression. What irked him more was the mocking expression of Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples.


    Using his divine sense, he understood what they were discussing.


    " Hmph! We actually got fooled!"


    Mo Zhuughed coldly. " That bastard! He is just a meager True Core Formation Realm cultivator."


    " Eh? My cultivation got revealed?" Long Ming''s expression became strange.


    " Ah¡­ They are thinking of taking revenge, huh?"

 Chapter 98 Long Ming’s *Calmness*

    <h4>Chapter 98 Long Ming''s *Calmness*</h4>


    Lin Xie, Chen Yin, and Shui Huan saw that the formation was deactivated. So, they dashed at Long Ming.


    " Senior Brother, Are you alright?"


    " What''s with that golden halo of light?"


    Long Ming was startled when he heard that.


    " Uh? You didn''t see anything?"


    Chen Yin shook her head. " When the golden halo of light descended on you, all of us became shocked. But then, a purple mist rose and blocked our view. Only heard the rumbling thunder and didn''t see anything else."


    " And, the moment the purple mist dissipated¡­ You were¡­" Her face turned rosey,


    " Um¡­"


    " You were standing naked."


    Shui Huan spoke without any hesitation. " But what was more, You were giving off the aura of True Core Formation Realm."


    " Senior Brother, Are you really at the True Core Formation Realm?" Shui Huan asked with a shocked voice.


    " What do you think?" Long Ming gave a faint smile. His face gave off a mesmerizing smile, that contained faint mysteriousness.


    The three girls became stunned when they heard Long Ming''s question.


    '' Is Senior Brother really at True Core Formation Realm?''


    '' But, How did he defeat Yan Ziren of Zhongye Sect?''


    Seeing Long Ming didn''t show any sign of nervousness, they suddenly look at each other with enlightenment.


    '' Could it be¡­ Senior Brother is actually hiding his strength?'' Lin Xie used voice transmission to speak with Shui Huan and Chen Yin in their minds.


    '' It might be possible. Perhaps, Senior Brother is digging a trap for Blissful Heaven Temple.''


    '' En, Then¡­We should support him.''


    All three of them looked at each other and nodded immediately.


    " Senior Brother, You don''t need to worry about your cultivation at all."


    " Even though you are at True Core Formation Realm, You are so powerful."


    " The Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples are so weak that Senior Brother doesn''t even need half of his strength."


    Long Ming''s face darkened when he heard the trio. The girls didn''t? lower their voice purposely and let everyone know that Long Ming was at True Core Formation Realm.


    After all, they also need to help their Senior Brother to dig the trap, right?"


    " Alright, That''s enough." Long Ming hurriedly paused them.


    '' If I don''t stop them, they will really going to attract a world''s worth of trouble to me.'' Long Ming mumbled inwardly.


    Long Ming is definitely someone who goes to pick fight on his own ord. Unless the situation is dire, he would rather not even more his pinkie finger.


    After all, Drinking wine and enjoying beauty, why would he need to show off his strength to attract more trouble? Just enjoy your life quietly andvishly.


    Not to mention, he doesn''t have any Courting Death System. So, he doesn''t need to court death, right?


    " Now, Tell me about your progression." Long Ming asked them.


    " Senior Brother, Myprehension in Saber Qi has been deepened. Also, I reached the Minor Completion stage of my Burning Sky Merit Law.'' Shui Huan replied.


    " For me, Iprehended the Frost Intent and my Blizzard Sword Technique''s proficiency increased."? Lin Xie jumped in joy.


    " Senior Brother, My bottleneck has been loosed. I think within one year, I will be able to reach the High stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. Also, I reached the Perfection Stage of my Howling Wind Autumn Palm." Chen Yin twirled her hair.


    Long Ming nodded in satisfaction when he heard the answers. " Haha! Good, Very good. You guys didn''t disappoint me at all."


    All three of them bowed. " It''s all thanks to you, Senior Brother. We never thought you will forfeit your and Sister Luo''s spot and give us the chance to cultivate in the Purple Crystal Pavilion''s Core Zone."


    Suddenly, they saw a bright sh of light as they were transported back to the Liu Family courtyard. Everyone''s expression became ted when they saw their disciples.


    Liu An stood up as he announced. " Everyone, I hope you had a fruitful endeavor while cultivating in the Core Zone. And hereby, the Main event of Wine Gathering has been concluded."


    " However, Since many fellow Daoists might find it boring. We will announce a small sparring match for our junior generation."


    " You can challenge and fight against your opponent."


    Many of them became startled when they heard the announcement. It didn''t take time before many challenges were issued. Long Ming chuckled when he saw the duels already started.


    " Senior Brother, Are you alright?" The disciples of Four Seasons Valley became ted when they saw Long Ming with three others.


    " Thank god, Senior Brother. You are so amazing." Luo Yingying couldn''t help but suppress her excitement.


    " Everyone was thinking that you made the worst decision by cultivating in the Outer Zone. But when you got surrounded by the golden halo of light, you should have seen their faces."


    " Senior Brother, What happened after that?"


    " Senior Brother, We saw Tribtion clouds in the sky. Was it you?"


    "Alright, Let me exin¡­"


    Long Ming sighed as he calmed down everyone. He briefly gave an exnation to all the disciples, but he omitted the part of the Great Mystic Mountain Physique.


    " Senior Brother is actually at True Core Formation Realm?" Everyone became shocked.


    But when they saw Lin Xie and Chen Yin''s winks, they gave an ''understanding'' look.


    " Yeah, It doesn''t matter."


    " Senior Brother, you''re already so powerful."


    Long Ming''s expression became strange when he heard that. '' Damn, Mu junior sisters are really understanding. They don''t mind at all.''


    '' But why do I feel they misunderstanding something?'' He thought inwardly.


    " But Senior Brother, Are you not going to the duel arena?" Luo Yingying asked.


    " Why should I?" Long Ming retorted. " Let me just drink and enjoy. Why should I go and put a performance for others to watch?"


    The disciples became dumbfounded when they heard Long Ming''s logic. Strange enough, they couldn''t retort him at all.


    " Well, About that¡­"


    " Four Season Valley''s disciples! If you are not cowards,e to the stage and fight against me!"


    Long Ming looked at the stage and saw it was a disciple of Blissful Heaven Temple. Long Ming sighed when he saw that.


    " Can we not ept it?"


    Luo Yingying forced a smile he heard that. " Well, You can, Senior Brother. But it will affect our sect''s reputation."


    Lin Xie stood up as she cupped her fist. " Senior Brother, Allow me to go up and fight.


    " You?" Long Ming pondered. " That guy reached the High stage of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. Can you fight him?"


    " I think so. I want to try my new Frost Intent with my Blizzard Sword Technique." Lin Xie smiled.


    " Besides, You will protect us, right?"


    Long Ming gave a mild chuckle. " Of course. I will protect you."


    Lin Xie stepped forward as she walked onto the stage.


    " I am Lin Xie, Core disciple of Four Seasons Valley." She gave a light bow before drawing out her sword.


    " Now, Let''s see how much you can bber your mouth."


    " Hmph, I guess it was true after all." The disciple of Blissful Heaven Templeughed. " That Long Ming is nothing more than sect''s gigolo."


    " Yo-You, Don''t nder our Senior Brother." Lin Xie snorted. " I think the real trash is you, who is bbering with his mouth."


    " Hmph, I am Suo Lin. Let''spare our swords."


    Lin Xie didn''t stand idly as she took the initiative. Her sword shone with a frozen light as icicles stormed at Suo Lin. Her body moved as all the icicles descended on Suo Lin.


    " Corrosive Yin Wind!"


    Suo Lin''s hand filled with ck gaseous qi as itsted out, blocking the icicles. The icicles got corroded as they turned into puddles of ck water, falling on the ground,


    A short dagger appeared as it met against Lin Xie''s sword. Suo Lin snorted as another dagger appeared in his left hand, which he swiftly shed at Lin Xie.


    " Phantom Dagger Cut!"


    Both daggers disappeared at the same time as many thin arcs of light chopped toward Lin Xie.


    " Frozen Realm!"


    Jumping backward, Lin Xie raised her sword gracefully as frost covered the ce she stood. Suddenly, icy walls erupted from the frosty ground as it blocked the attack of Suo Lin. However, the daggers were sharp as the icy blocks sliced off cleanly.


    But it gave Line Xie a chance to attack.


    " Snow Storm sh!"


    An icy blizzard formed around Lin Xie she jumped forward. Suo Lin''s daggers swept out like two poisonous snakes as he stabbed Lin Xie.


    But Lin Xie''s figure vanished in the blizzard, making Suo Lin''s attack miss. Suddenly, Lin Xie appeared right beside Suo Lin.


    " It''s over!"


    Blizzard covered Suo Lin as sword attacks rained on him. Suo Lun hurriedly raised both his dagger as it merged into a short sword.


    " Dark Barrier!"


    " You can''t block this!" Lin Xie''s onught continued as she forced Suo Lin into a defensive stance.


    But suddenly, Lin Xie''s body froze as her eyes became vacant. Long Ming''s expression changed as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed.


    " LIN XIE! DODGE!"


    However, it was already toote. A pitch ck short sword appeared out of the ck dome and it stabbed toward Lin Xie''s dantian.


    Long Ming disappeared from his position as his Plum Blossom Fan appeared. A storm of plum blossoms appeared as the whirlwind struck forward,nding on Lin Xie''s body.


    *BOOOM*


    Mo Zhu and other Blissful Heaven Temple disciples became rmed when they saw Long Ming rushing toward the stage.


    " This is cheating! He interfered in a duel!" Mo Zhu shouted. Some disciples even tried to stop Long Ming from reaching the stage.


    Lin Xie got pushed by the whirlwind as the pitch ck sword stabbed into her right ribs.


    Blood sshed out as Lin Xie''s senses came back. But she couldn''t move her body at all. Suo Lun snorted as he again raised his short sword to attack.


    But like a ghost, Long Ming suddenly appeared right behind Lin Xie as he shouted.


    " We concede!"


    The elder overseeing the matchnded as she shouted. " The match is over. The winner is Suo Lin."


    " Cough!"


    Lin Xie''s coughed a mouthful of blood as her veins turned ck. Long Ming sealed her meridians as his eyes turned cold.


    " That''s clearly against the rules! Long Ming shouldn''t have interfered!" Suo Linined. " Though he wouldn''t able to change to change the results."


    " Yingying, Take Lin Xie away and treat her."


    " YES!"


    Luo Yingying and others hurried as they carried Lin Xie away. Lin Xie already fainted as the arena was covered with her blood.


    " Using poisonous incense, you wanted to cripple Lin Xie''s cultivation?" Long Ming''s tone was simply calm as he looked at Suo Lin.


    Suo Lin''s expression stiffed. " I don''t know what you are talking about."


    " Why don''t you have a match with me?"


    Long Ming again spoke. His tone was light and calm like he was asking for Suo Lin''s permission.


    " Hmph, A mere True Core Formation Realm gigolo is asking to fight me?" Suo Lin snorted. " Fine, I will let you taste the superiority of Blissful Heaven Temple."


    Long Ming nodded as he cupped his fist.


    " Thank you. I mean, don''t misjudge me. I am a calm and reasonable person¡­Most of the time, Yes."


    Suo Lun pointed his dagger at Long Ming as he was confused.


    " What the fuck you are talk-"


    But before he could say anything, all he saw were falling petals of plum blossoms and Long Ming vanished from his position.


    He suddenly felt a paper fan pping on his stomach gently.


    " Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm"


    After that, blood sttered on the arena.

 Chapter 99 Why Must You Force Me?

    <h4>Chapter 99 Why Must You Force Me?</h4>


    The crowd was stunned when they saw the happenings of these few minutes of events.


    First of all, it was Long Ming interfering and protecting Lin Xie from a deadly attack. However, people became more confused when Long Ming mentioned poisonous incense as they didn''t smell anything at all.


    However, the third thing they didn''t expect was that the duel between Long Ming and Suo Lin would begin so abruptly and end like a lightning sh.


    Many of them didn''t even see the movements of Long Ming, only a burst of plum blossom petals and a fragrant wind.


    " Damn it! Stop!"


    However, the elder of Blissful Heaven Temple shouted hurriedly when he saw Long Ming vanish from his position. However, it was toote.


    When Long Ming''s paper fannded on Suo Lin''s abdomen, Long Ming''s Fragrant Yin Qi rushed into his body like a tidal wave.


    The Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm was a martial technique brought from Earth. However, when it merged with his overbearing yet soft Fragrant Yin Qi, it created a deadlybo.


    When Long Ming practiced this single palm attack, again and again, he realized its true nature.


    The Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm is naturally a Yin Yang dual attribute technique, that emphasizes Softness and Destruction. The softness of Yin Pulse makes the Internal Energy of a Martial artist imbue his energy into a thing without damaging the surface.


    And the property of Jade Shattering explodes the energy inside the thing,pletely crumbling the thing from the inside, but making it look perfect on the outside.


    The entire ce was silent when Long Ming''s attacknded on Suo Lin. Long Ming turned around as he gently fanned his Plum Blossom Fan. It was unknown if those blossoming petals looked more red and exquisite.


    In his right hand, he held a golden hexagonal prism like container. With numerous pores on it.


    " Although I know everything is allowed in the fight,¡­Isn''t it too despicable to use poisonous substances like this? Completely odorless and colorless. However¡­"


    A crimson me appeared on Long Ming''s palm as he used his spiritual qi to create a barrier around the crimson me. The crimson me burned with vigor till there was purple smoke appeared around it.


    " Ah? Could it be it''s the Purple Sloth Poison of Blissful Heaven Temple?" Xu Jian of Six Sword Pavilion spoke.


    The crowd murmured among each other as many of them knew about the Purple Sloth Poison.


    " But what''s even more concerning, is that you tried to cripple Lin Xie''s divine sea." Long Ming let out a sigh as he turned around, facing Suo Lin.


    " Lo-Look at Suo Lin!"


    " Good Heavens!"


    " Bastard! Long Ming you dare!"


    Suo Lin was standing like a statue, without making a single movement.? He was also standing outside the perimeter of the arena.


    However, he was bleeding from her seven offices. From his eyes, his nose, his ears, the blood dripped down slowly, making a horrifying image.


    The elder''s voice trembled as he spoke, " Win-Winner is, Long Ming."


    The Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples toward Suo Lin to hold him. Mo Zhu''s eyes turned red as he gave a vicious look toward Long Ming.


    " Motherfucker! You destroyed his divine sea and crippled him?!"


    Long Ming''s expression didn''t change at all. " Well, You have the freedom to do whatever you wish. However, you also need to prepare for the consequences."


    " Bastard! You sneaked attack and crippled one of our disciples. And still spitting bullshit?" Mo Zhu ced Suo Lin in the arms of other disciples as he walked toward the stage.


    Suo Lin could only able to roll his eyes, as his body ceased all movements. The disciples fed him healing pills. But it was almost got no effect.


    No one seemed to be objecting to what happening here. On the contrary, the audience seemed to be even more heated than before.


    The elder of Blissful Heaven Temple looked at Mo Zhu as his tone turned serious. " I am afraid that brat condensed a perfect Golden Core and underwent a lightning tribtion. You must not belittle the possessor of the perfect golden core."


    " So what? I already reached the Perfection stage of Blissful Desire Demonic Arts and condensed a desired seed."


    The elder''s expression became ted when he heard that. " Zhu''er, Are you telling the truth."


    " Heh, The Purple Crystal Courtyard is very beneficial to me. I might reach the Harmonization Realm when I will participate in the Imperial Tournament."


    " This time, I will kill that bastard for once and all."


    A wicked grin appeared on the elder of Blissful Heaven Temple as he walked away from Mo Zhu.


    " Long Ming! You despicable bastard! You dare to attack and injure one of our disciples!" Mo Zhu shouted as he jumped on the stage.


    " I challenge you to a life-and-death match!"


    " What?!"


    " Mo Zhu initiated a life and death match?"


    Liu Jie''s expression changed when he heard that. " That''s not¡­ Too good for an asion like this."


    " Well, Spar doesn''t see hands or feet. It''s natural to get injured while fighting. Am I right, Young Master Mo?" Long Ming''s tone was cid.


    " Heh, I guess you are agreeing to it, huh?" Mo Zhu''s voice became imposing. " Everyone heard it, right? There will be no ountability in this life and death match!"


    " Then, I won''t be polite anymore!"


    Suddenly, Mo Zhu pulled out a saber as he readied his stance. The saber was giving off a bright silver ray, and one could see a crimson runic pattern all over it. The runes materialized in thin air as the saber was covered with a mesmerizing mist.


    " Noble grade¡­ That was a Noble grade Saber!"


    " Blood Rage Saber! Wrath of Demon!"


    Mo Zhu brandished his saber as the wind howled like a demon''s screech. The saber turned into a mighty demon unleashing its might, befalling on Long Ming like a deadly attack.


    His Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivation was full on disy as the true qi became turbulent on the stage.


    The saber was about tond on Long Ming, but Long Ming only gently waved his paper fan before vanishing, leaving floating plum blossoms.


    " I say, Brother Mo, Aren''t you a bit slow?"


    Long Ming''s voice rang behind Mo Zhu as a burst of wind created by him charged toward Mo Zhu.


    " Hmph! Demon''s Pride!"


    The saber transformed into a ten feet demonic saber as it shed at Long Ming. The saber made a horizontal sweep, cutting the ways of Long Minf''s escape.


    " Still slow!"


    Long Ming took a step forward as he disappeared, Suddenly, a sh of light appeared as a sharp sword light charged at Mu Zhu. Mo Zhu didn''t care as he swung his saber to block it.


    However, Long Ming swung his sword, twisting the sword light to evade Mo Zhu''s saber andnd on his chest.


    But then, a pitch ck armor appeared on Mo Zhu''s body and he gave augh.


    " Hah, You can''t prate my defense!"


    " Damn it! That Mo Zhu is really cunning."


    " A Nobel grade protective armor? Even if it''s an Acquired type Noble grade Armor, its durability is still very strong. Even a Nobel grade weapon might not be able to prate."


    However, Long Ming''s expression didn''t flinch.


    " Is that so?"


    Suddenly, his sword shone with a faint blue light as it disappeared. A sharp sword intent rose, covering it with wind and clouds.


    " Lightning Shadow Sword Art! Fourth stance! Wind Chasing Dark Shadow!"


    *BOOM*


    The sword intent merged with the wind itself, stabbing right into Mo Zhu''s armor. Mo Zhu''s armor shone with a dark ray as it blocked the sword attack. But Mo Zhu got pushed back a bit.


    But Long Ming''s attack didn''t stop. He didn''t bother to hide his Sword Intent anymore as his Fragrant Yin Qi was on full disy.


    " Fifth stance! Lightning Cleaving The Clouds!"


    " Sixth stance! Shadow Lightning Prison!"


    Long Ming''s sword was also a noble grade sword.? The sword inter sword as it covered Mo Zhu like a prison, stopping his movement altogether. Mo Zhu became enraged as he swung his saber wildly,


    " A puny True Core Formation Realm is messing with me?! Break!"


    Long Ming''s sword and Mo Zhu''s saber shed. But Long Ming''s sword vanished like smoke.


    " Seventh stance! Tribtion of Lightning Shadow!"


    Long Ming''s golden core revolved as arcs of lightning zapped around it. His noble grade sword shed with bright lightning as it stabbed into the ck armor.


    His Fragrant Ying Qi and Scarlet Yang Qi swirled like a vortex as they merged with sword intent.


    Like a lightning strike, Mo Zhu felt a powerful impact as the blue lightning hit his body. He got sted back, with his body turning numb from the impact.


    " Huh?"


    Everyone became shocked when they saw several cracks on the armor, lingering with some faint lightning. Mo Zhu clenched his fist as he suddenly started tough.


    " Good! Very good! To think you pushed me to use my ultimate card!"


    The air around the stage became hazy as Mo Zhu rose his saber. The entire stage was filled with various colors of the mist one could see faces of various emotions across it.


    Suddenly, Long Ming found himself slowly drifting away from the stage as the surrounding changed. Mo Zhu attacked him again, and Long Ming retaliated with his sword.


    But the moment his sword was about to hit Mo Zhu, he vanished.


    " Haha! Weren''t you ying like that before? How about now?"


    Long Ming''s expression didn''t change when he saw four Mo Zhus standing at the four directions.


    "Long Ming, Help!"


    " Senior Brother, Save us!"


    Long Ming suddenly witness the destruction of Four Seasons Valley. How Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples killed and looted it. All the female disciples were viciously humiliated.


    " Bastard! Long Ming, I will kill you!"


    " Why didn''t you deceive us!"


    The female disciples cried blood as they cursed Long Ming Long Ming saw Mu Qinglian being carried as the Mo Zhu ripped apart her dress.


    " Today, I will kill you!" Mo Zhu snarled. " After that, I will take all those bitches outside and throw them naked among our brothers."


    " And don''t worry. The Four Seasons Valley females will soon be our cultivation cauldron. And that bitch Mu Qinglian, I will fuck her¡­"


    Long Ming let out a light sigh.


    " Why must you force me, Ah..."


    .


    .


    .


    " Wh-What''s that technique?"


    " Why are both of them standing still?"


    " That''s¡­Seed of Desire! Mo Zhu using the Blissful Desire Demonic Arts!"


    " I heard it creates a spiritual domain, where one''s soul will fall into an illusion. Not to mention, Mo Zhu''s proficiency is looking pretty high."


    " It will provoke one''s six desires, making their soul crumble, killing them instantly."


    But the colorful mist instantly dissipated as a gigantic golden mountain appeared on the stage, making the floor crumble with spider cracks destroying every inch.


    " Wh-What''s that?"


    " My goodness! What a godly suppression energy!"


    The epicenter of those spider wave cracks was naturally Long Ming, whose eyes shone with a dark azure brilliance. He gently sheathed his sword as he walked toward Mo Zhu.


    " Senior Brother¡­"


    Luo Yingying was stunned as she could see exquisite ck and white veins of spider lily blooming on Long Ming''s arm as he gently raise it. The mountain rumbled as if it moved as Long Ming wished.


    " BRAT! DON''T YOU DARE!"


    The Elder of Blissful Heaven Temple already had a band premonition. Without caring about his face, he lunged forward.


    But it was toote.


    Long Ming clenched his fist and gave a punch to Mo Zhu''s body.


    It was a very light, mortal like punch.


    And then¡­

 Chapter 100 Vague Memories

    <h4>Chapter 100 Vague Memories</h4>


    The Blissful Desire Demonic Art was the core technique of Blissful Heaven Temple. It was a technique that uses both True qi and Spiritual Qi.


    Invoking the desires of the opponent and using those thoughts to create a spiritual prison, the Blissful Desire Demonic Art can be called a powerful and suppressive technique for those who have low spiritual strength.


    After all, once trapped in the illusion of desires, it''s very hard to break free. Manipting their soul, the opponent will plunge into an endless nightmare.


    Therefore, Blissful Heaven Temple managed to make a firm footing inside the Holy Qilin Empire.


    Mo Zhu was already a young genius who reached the perfection stage of Blissful Desire Demonic Arts. Not to mention, when his aura exploded, people realized that Mo Zhu already preparing to breakthrough into the Harmonization Realm.


    Not to mention, people were even more surprised when they saw Long Ming''s aura was much weaker than Mo Zhu''s. So, When Mo Zhu used his seed of desire and cast his desire illusion domain, everyone thought Long Ming is finished.


    At least until Long Ming stomped his feet and made the illusory barrier crumble in an instant. Even the stage, which was made from spirit granite, gotpletely destroyed by a single stomp.


    The image of the mountain soared as one could see the peaks were covered with misty clouds. The mountain basked with a faint auspicious light, as it looked like a spiritual mountain.


    " Purple Crystal Mountain Physique?!"


    The Liu Family members became aghast when they saw it. Especially Liu Jie, Who was stunned. Even Ren Qian was shocked when he sa what.


    " No, That''s not Purple Crystal Mountain Physique. That''s¡­"


    Long Ming''s fistnded on Mo Zhu''s chest as the mountain behind him rumbled. The brack armor on his chest shook violently as its cracks became deeper. It barely took an instant became itpletely shattered.


    After that, everyone saw Mo Zhu turning into a bloody mangled piece of meat. His entire body suddenly got folded as his flesh exploded in an instant, showing his bones. But his bones also got crushed by a tremendous force, getting shattered in another instant.


    The bones and the organs just crumpled into a ball, like a grotesque meatball.


    The audience didn''t get a chance to close their eyes before such a graphic scene happened in an instant.


    " MO ZHU!"


    The elder of Blissful Heaven Temple became pale as he roared.


    " It''s not over yet."


    Long Ming''s eyes were two cold gems of mystic azure as he raised his palm. His spiritual qi turned into a shape of a w as it grabbed something. Suddenly, a struggling figure of illusory Mo Zhu appeared under everyone''s eyes."


    " Since we are killing today, Let''s kill till the very end." Long Ming''s voice rang as he put to use his newly created Eternal True Spirit Art.


    " NOOO!"


    The soul of Mo Zhu screamed as the w tightened its presence. The Elder of Blissful Heaven Temple lept forward as his Harmonization Realm aura exploded.


    " BRAT! STOP!"


    Long Ming tightened his fist and extinguished the soul of Mo Zhu in a single breath. Mo Zhu''s soul turned into some light particles as it dissipated. Long Ming looked at the elder as he spoke. " What? Were you saying something?"


    The Elder''s face became livid as looked at Long Ming. " Bastard! How dare you kill Mo Zhu! Repay the sin with your life!"


    The power of the Harmonization Realm cultivator was no joke. Suddenly, Long Ming felt the space around him freezing as tremendous pressure fell on his body.


    However, his Deste Immortal Aura dissipated most of the pressure, and the Great Mystic Mountain Physique also helped me to stay calm andposed.


    However, Before the elder could attack Long Ming, a burst of hurricane mixed with hot and cold wine appeared.


    " It looks like people think our Four Seasons Valley is a pushover?"


    A middle ageddy stepped out of the crows as she gently flickered her sleeves. The disciples of Four Seasons Valley became shocked and overjoyed when they saw her.


    " Grand Elder!"


    " Grand Elder of Four Seasons Valley is here!"


    Wu Liang''s expression was calm as she stood beside Long Ming. Long Ming saw Wu Lian arrive. So, he didn''t say anything and turned around.


    Although his behavior was a little abnormal, Wu Liang didn''t mind it.


    " Elder Wu, Are you stopping me from killing him?" The Elder of Blissful Heaven Temple snorted.


    " Yeah, I am stopping. So what?" Wu Liang snorted. " Have your senses got rotten like your age, Elder Lai?? Are you forgetting this is a life and death match, consented by both participants!?"


    Elder Lai gnashed his teeth when he heard that. " Are you really going to make things bad, Elder Wu?"


    " When it was good?" Wu Liang snorted. " You better back the fuck off from my sect''s disciples. Otherwise, Don''t me me for not being merciless."


    " Hmph!"


    " Alright, That''s enough."


    Liu An coughed as he stepped into the arena. " What happened has happened. Besides, There is no one''s fault in Mo Zhu''s death."


    "? Elder Lai, You better don''t lose the face of the old generation."


    Elder Lai snorted as he turned around. The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple''s cast a gaze mixed with fear and hatred on Long Ming.


    However, Long Ming didn''t notice anything. His expression was vacant and his steps were slow. He could slowly feel the emotions welling in his heart again, the same as when he killed the fake maid who attacked him and Xiao''er in Solitary Flower Peak back then when he killed for the first time.


    " Senior Brother¡­Are you alright?"


    " Senior Brother¡­"


    The joyous asion among the disciples died down as Luo Yingying didn''t take long before she realized Long Ming was quiet. The calm and collected Long Ming gave off a silent, yet bone chilling aura. His killing intent wasn''t hidden as one could smell the scent of blood and death.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as his Eternal True Spirit Art was revolving to the maximum. He sealed off his sense and tried his best to calm down his overflowing murderous intent.


    " I think I should take some rest." Long Ming''s voice was faint. I am returning to the inn."


    Without saying anything, Long Ming disappeared from his position. All the disciples were confused for a moment before they also took their leave. After all, The Wine Gathering is almost over anyway.


    .


    .


    .


    Long Ming''s room was a mess as he clutched his hair and roared viciously. Even with his Eternal True Spirit Art, Long Ming felt his mind was overflowing with intense bloodlust.


    Not to mention, It was like the reality around him breaking into countless mirror pieces, showing some unfamiliar, yet nostalgic scenes of his time on earth.


    Like a whisper of the devil, his killing intent swelled. His mind reyed the death of Mo Zhu, again and again, giving his heart a strange satisfaction.


    Long Ming realized that using the Eternal True Spirit Art was good to alleviate the symptoms, but not enough to eradicate the root.


    He rip apart his clothes and drank a jug of Four Seasons True Wine. After that, Long Ming sat on the bed as he tried to calm his soul.


    About his shing memories, Long Ming didn''t let them run rampant as he carefully focused them, piecing them together to get the whole picture.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Young Master Long¡­"


    " Hmm?"


    Long Ming heard a faint call. It didn''t take much time before he recognized the voice.


    " Little Da? It''s Little Da!"


    Long Ming became ecstatic when he heard the call.


    Little Da was the servant boy, or say, his butler who was only two years older than Long Ming.


    For the bedridden Long Ming was a terminally ill patient, Little Da was the only friend he ever interacted with.


    But why is he calling so desperately?


    " Young Master! Run!"


    Long Ming''s eyes squinted when he saw a sickly young man running in an alley. Long Ming''s heart quivered when he saw that.


    Pale face and body like someone wrapped a human skin around bones, the young man was taking each step with haggard breath.


    How could Long Ming couldn''t recognize Long Ming from Earth?


    The sickly Long Ming ran and ran, and seeing his pursuers catching up to him, he jumped into a small garbage can and hid himself.


    " Fuck! Get that little bastard at all cost!"


    " Can''t you see? It''s just a crippled brat! Hurry up and find him!"


    Long Ming''s eyes burst with tears and anger when he saw the rogues dragging Little Da''s body to the ground.


    " YOUNG MASTER! BE SAFE AND DON''T WORRY!"


    Little Da mustered hisst strength as he screamed loudly, intending to ry his message to Long Ming wherever he is.


    " Heh, Since you are useless now, I don''t think you need to live anymore."


    Long Ming''s mouth remained wide open as hot tears drenched his face. He could only scream silently when Little Da got stabbed again and again.


    He didn''t dare to get out even after hours the murderers left. When it was already night, Long Ming crawled out and cried before Littel Da''s body. After mourning, he called the police and left the ce.


    He wished to bury Little Da himself. However, he neither has the strength nor the opportunity to do that. But that doesn''t mean he will let his only friend''s body die in the cold.


    Three dayster, Long Ming purchased some meat buns since he haven''t eaten anything in the past few days. Although he had a bit of money, the food wasn''t his main concern.


    Sitting on the footpath, a wry smile appeared on his face as he chewed the bun.


    '' I won''t survive more than a few days without my medicines. Besides, with this weak body, how can I take revenge?"


    '' That bastard is cunning. He must be still tracking me across the city. The moment I reveal myself, I will get killed without any doubt."


    " I don''t think I have any reason to live anymore. At least you live some more day, Old man." Long Ming spoke to the beggar who was sitting beside him on the park bench. From the first to thest, the old beggar didn''t say anything


    " Hey, Take this." Long Ming spoke as he turned around to leave after giving the food.


    But the moment he turned, he fell on the ground, and his foot got sprained.


    " AHHHH!"


    Long Ming screamed as his face twisted in pain. His breath spasmed, as he coughed heavily.


    " Hey brat, Do you wish to take revenge?"


    Long Ming''s movement stopped when he heard that. The old man finally spoke after so long as he ate the bun.


    " Yes." Long Ming gave a short, but vengeful reply.


    " Remember, People call me Posion Hand."


    .


    .


    .


    " Senior Brother!"


    " Senior Brother Long!"


    Long Ming''s eyes slowly opened as he saw Chen Yin and Lin Xie sitting beside him. Their arms wrapped around his body as their eyes flickered with dreamy desires.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt his desires ring up as he hugged both of them at once.


    The room door paused as nobody heard the amorous sounds from inside.


    .


    .


    .


    YAY, WE REACHED 100 CHAPTERS.


    Alright, We will have something fun for next chapter, I suppose?

 Chapter 101 Junior Sisters Returning Gratitude (R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 101 Junior Sisters Returning Gratitude (R-18)</h4>


    After Lin Xie was brought back into the camp, everyone became worried about her.


    Ugh, This is¡­really painful!" Lin Xie groaned in pain as the disciples of Four Seasons Valley tried to stop her bleeding.


    " The injury was too deep. But thankfully, it didn''t affect Sister Lin''s divine sea at all." Luo Yingyin sighed in relief.


    " Mm, Although the divine sea is unaffected, her organs were seriously damaged. Ordinary Healing Pills won''t work on her."


    A voice startled them as they saw Ren Qian standing beside the, He handed out a cup of wine and turned around to leave.


    Luo Yingying was baffled when she saw Ren Qian''s action However, seeing Long Ming trusted him, Luo Yingying nodded as she fed Lin Xie the wine.


    Lin Xie only drank half cup of wine before her eyes widened. " I¡­ I can''t feel the pain anymore."


    " Look! Sister Lin''s wounds are healing!"


    " This wine is a healing elixir! And a top tier one!"


    All of them became relieved when they saw Lin Xie''s wounds healed. Chen Yin hugged Lin Xie tightly when she saw Lin Xie''s wound waspletely healed.


    " Senior Brother really saved Sister Lin this time."


    " But now¡­"


    Everyone became shocked when they saw Long Ming fought Suo Lin, then Mo Zhu on the stage. Their always smiling, calm, and carefree Senior Brother was gone.


    When Long Ming stood on the stage, all the disciples of Four Seasons Valley could feel the sharp killing intent from his body. Not to mention, when Mo Zhu git killed brutally, Long Ming didn''t flinch slightly at all.


    " Senior Brother is really angry this time."


    " He wasn''t this aggressive when he fought Yan Ziren back then. The Blissful Heaven Temple really crossed the line this time."


    Lin Xie''s heart became warm when she saw Long Ming was fighting against Blissful Heaven Temple for her. However, she was also concerned when Long Ming got down from the stage.


    She instantly felt that Long Ming wasn''t in the right state. She looked at Luo Yingying and discussed the matter.


    " Lin Xie, You also need to rest. How about you take Chen Yin and Shui Huan back to the inn? You can also check up on Brother Long." Luo Yingying proposed.


    " I need to stay here till the conclusion of the Wine Gathering Event. And, since Grand Elder is also here, we don''t need to fear anything."


    Chen Yin and Shui Huan nodded as they took Lin Xie and hurried back to the inn.


    " Huh? Did hear that?"


    " Senior Brother¡­ Is he alright?"


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin looked at each other with concerned face. " It¡­It couldn''t be that Senior Brother suffered some internal wounds, right?"


    " Sister Chen, Sister Lin, What should we do?" Shui Huan became restless when she heard both of them.


    " En, Don''t worry, We are going inside to see what''s happening. You should stay here." Lin Xie spoke. Shui Huan nodded as Chen Yin and Lin Xie entered Long Ming''s room.


    As the feature of a premium grade room, the room got all the facilities of a house. It was much more spacious, thanks to the spatial formations that expanded the space of the room. It got a living room, a separate bedroom, and a bathroom. It was indeed a luxurious room after all.


    The moment Chen Yin and Lin Xie entered Long Ming''s room, they heard Long Ming''s groaning.


    However, what made them even more stunned was a strange fragrance. A sweet fragrance that seems to prate deep into their souls and evoke their desires.


    They couldn''t help but inhale it more and more, like an addictive drug. They looked at each other as they walked into Long Ming''s bedroom and saw the entire room was messed up.


    Long Ming rolled on the bed with intense pain as he clutched the bedsheet. However, they realized Long Ming was the source of the strange, addictive scent.


    Long Ming was lying naked and his body was covered with sweat. However,? his addictive masculine stench ignited a me of primal lust in their bodies.


    " Sister Chen¡­Is it be or¡­ the temperature is pretty hot here?" Lin Xie spoke in a heavy voice. Her hands already started to take off her outer robe.


    " I am also feeling strange¡­ and hot." Chen Yin panted. " Let''s wake up Senior Brother."


    " Senior Brother."


    " Brother Long! Are you alright?"


    They both sat on the bed as they shook Long Ming. Although their face was red when they saw Long Ming''s perfect body exposed under their eyes, they already took a bath with him and received a special *massage* from him. Therefore, Lin Xie and Chen Yin weren''t too bothered by Long Ming''s nakedness.


    However, suddenly, Long Ming opened his eyes as he got up. When he saw Lin Xie and Chen Yin were sitting right beside him, the murderous thoughts seems to be lessen a bit, but it was merely reced by a lustful vigor.


    He pulled both of them into his embrace as his lips sealed Chen Yin''s lips. Chen Yin was shocked when Long Ming suddenly kissed her. However, the moment their lips met. Chen Yin felt her final sanity leaving her mind as the strange fragrance overwhelmed her heart.


    Her hands wrapped around Long Ming tightly as she returned Long Ming''s kiss with double passion. Their lips kept sucking each other as if they were trying to suck the breath out of each other.


    Lin Xie was also no good when she saw the scene. Long Ming''s left arm wrapped around him as she was also hugging Long Ming tightly. Long Ming''s touch was electrifying, making her body numb instantly as the trio rolled on the bed.


    After tasting Chen Yin''s lips, Long Ming''s eyes regained some life as he looked at both of them.


    " Haah, Chen Yin, Lin Xie¡­ You¡­What are you doing here." He panted. " If you don''t leave right now¡­ I will¡­"


    " Don''t worry, Senior Brother."? Lin Xie pressed her index finger on Long Ming''s lips as she shook her head. " We can feel what your body desires. And, Since it''s necessary for your recovery, we are willing to do it."


    Long Ming remembered the treatment method of his Chaotic Murder Heart as he stopped resisting anymore.


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin''s clothes fell on the ground as their soft, milky skin pressed against Long Ming''s robust body. The sensation made their breath turn even hotter, as the evil me of lust zed in further inside them.


    This time, Lin Xie and Long Ming kissed each other, while his palm was roaming on Chen Yin''s soft breasts. Lin Xie held Long Ming''s face as she felt Long Ming''s tongue explore her mouth.


    Their saliva mixed and the tongues yed with each other, Lin Xie felt the vor of Long Ming''s mouth was intoxicating that wine itself.


    Not to mention, since he had drunk the Four Seasons True Wine a bit before, the breath of wine was still there.


    " Hehe, Such sweet sisters¡­ I am sorry that you need to see me like this." Long Ming and Lin Xie''s lips parted as he spoke.


    " Don''t worry, I will make sure all of us going to enjoy it."


    " AHNNN!"


    " NNGGGHHH!"


    Both Chen Yin and Lin Xie moaned when Long Ming''s finger teased their sacred garden and flicked their pink beans. Using is Ecstatic Cloud Fingers, Long Ming''s Fragrant Yin Qi spread across their body.


    Long Ming''s fingers slid inside their sacred cave, gently rubbing fasta= and slow. The Fragrant Yin Qi was like a wave of pleasure, making Lin Xie and Chen Yin moan in pleasure.


    " Ahnnn! Senior Brother Long¡­ You are so good at this."


    " We couldn''t forget the night with you inside that pool¡­ Ahhhn, You tongue!!"


    Long Ming used his tongue to taste the bouncy breasts of both of them. His tongue flicked out as it teased the peaks of the mountains, making the buds pinkish and erect.


    Both of them quivered with joy when their sacred cave and breasts teased at the same time.? Long Ming''s speed and experience was quite something. It barely took any time before Chen Yin and Lin Xie trembled and held each other tightly.


    " Ahnnn! Senior Brother! I am cumming!"


    " I am cumming too!"


    Long Ming gave a devilish grin when he saw that. His hand was wet with their dripping juices as he pulled out his hands.


    Both Lin Xie and Chen Yin gave him an unsatisfied look, as their gaze fell on the erect rod between them. A look of hunger appeared in their eyes as both of them stroked Long Ming''s erect cock as the same time, gazing at him with anticipation.


    Long Ming chuckled as he stood up and stood facing them. His rod was like a ck staff, robust and stiff as many dragons around it made bulging veins.


    It pointed at Lin Xie, and then at Chen Yin as Long Ming pondered. " Hmm, Where should I begin?"


    " Lin Xie, You are injured. Then, Let me begin with Chen Yin."


    A smile appeared on Chen Yin''s face as when she heard that. Suddenly, she fell on the bed, Long Ming''s body pinning her down. She gave a light whimper when Long Ming''s tongue gently traced her cleavage. While her breasts got massaged by Long Ming''s palm, she could feel something hot and stiff getting rubbed on her wet pussy.


    Her breathing increased as her arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck, she gently whispered, " Senior Brother, Don''t make me wait anymore."


    Long Ming gazed down at her face as his lips brushed against hers, " Very well."


    Chen Yin''s eyes widened when she felt Long Ming''s rod push its way inside her pussy as it thrust forward. However, she didn''t have any chance to yelp as her lips were sealed by Long Ming.


    With a thrust, his spear prated inside the heavenly gate and ripped the thin barrier, making Chen Yin''s eyes close with a sting of pain.


    Her kiss with Long Ming intensified as Long Ming started to move his cock inside her pussy. As she was already let, Long Ming''s movements were devoid of any roughness.


    At first, Long Ming''s movement was shallow as he gave some time to Chen Yin to adjust herself. Soon, the pain vanished as only the sweet taste of her lower mouth remained.


    However, Long Ming wasn''t merciful for long. Soon, her gentle and shallow movements became powerful thrusts, making Chen Yin''s eyes roll back in pleasure.


    " Is it hurting? Shall I stop?" Long Ming licked her earlobes as he asked. Chen Yin''s body quivered when she heard that. Long Ming understood her answer when her legs locked his waist, making him unable to draw back.


    *PAA PAA PAA PAA*


    Like a masterncer thrusting hisnce in full vigor, Long Ming''s cock pounded the hole of Chen Yin, making their soft flesh sh together and make an obscene rhythm.


    " AHNN! AHNNN! AHHHNNN~"


    Chen Yin''s fingers dug into Long Ming''s back as she was enjoying the feeling of getting rough fucked. It was her first time, yet she never thought it will make her feel this good.


    Her moans along with the soft pping nose, made Lin Xie''s breath heavier as her fingers rubbed her pussy in arousal.


    " Ahhnnn! I am cumming!"


    " I am cumming too!"


    *PSSHHH*


    Chen Yin''s eyes closed as she could feel a gush of warm fluid inside her sacred cave as Long Ming''s rod pulsed. Giving a kiss, Long Ming pulled out his rod, as his sticky white essence dripped out, mixed with Chen Yin''s virgin blood.


    Chen Yin was lying on the bed without a single ounce of energy as her fluid kept oozing with light shivers.


    When Lin Xie saw Long Ming''s gaze falling on her, her heart beat quickened. Long Ming held her arm and pulled her up, kissing her passionately as their body pressed against each other.


    Standing against Long Ming, Lin Xie hugged him as she returned his kiss. Her face heated up when she felt Long Ming''s spreading squeezing her ass and spreading them.


    Suddenly, he turned her around as Lin Xie leaned on the bed, her ass sticking up to Long Ming.


    " NNGHHH! Senior Brother¡­ You are teasing it¡­" Lin Xie''s body shivered when Long Ming''s spear tip brushed against her sacred gate, spreading it, but not going inside.


    He kept rubbing the tip on her wet pussy for some time before the spear charged inside the sacred well.


    " HNNNGHHH!"


    Lin Xie whimpered when she felt Long Ming''s rod stretch her inner walls and move forward without any stop.


    " Ahhhh! It hurts! It hurts!"


    Lin Xie''s expression was bitter as the pain of breaking her barrier was jolting her body. Blood drops dripped down from her sacred well, making a red patch on the sheets.


    But when Long Ming''s rod started to move inside her, the sting of pain turned into a wave of carnal bliss.


    Holding her waist, he pulled back Lin Xie, making her pussypletely sheath his rod. Lin Xie stood while being hugged by Long Ming as she looked at the wall in front of her.


    Long Ming gently kissed her neck and spoke with a soft voice," Lin Xie, Sorry for this pain. But¡­ I¡­ I will definitely not hurt you ever again."


    Lin Xie''s heart thumped as her heart filled with sweetness. Long Ming''s hips moved lightly as Long Ming nibbled her earlobes lightly. "


    " May I?"


    " Mmm¡­yes."


    Pressing Lin Xie on the bed, Long Ming''s hips started to move vigorously. Each of his thrusts created ripples on her perfect ass cheeks, as Long Ming keep pounding them without any mercy.


    " AHNN! AHHN! SENIOR BROTHER! YOU ARE SO GOOD~"


    Lin Xie''s mind was overwhelmed with bliss as their bodies shed together. Long Ming''s rod kept grinding inside Lin Xie''s pussy, making her feel carnal delight.


    She finally realized why Chen Yin''s reaction was so great. Their Senior Brother is truly a master of pleasure after all.


    " Ahnnn! Ahnn! Senior Brother, I am cumming!"


    Lin Xie couldn''t resist the bliss for long before she gave up. Long Ming gave a deep thrust as his palm squeezed her ample bosom from behind.? A jet of spring water made the bedsheet wet as Lin Xie reached the peak of pleasure.


    She could feel Long Ming''s rod throbbing inside her, pumping out arge amount of his thick essence inside her sacred well.


    Both of them fell on the bed and rolled to each other''s side. Chen Yin regained some of her vigor as she rolled into Long Ming''s embrace.


    " Senior Brother¡­ You better take responsibility for us, Ah."


    Long Ming gave a wry smile as she got hugged from both sides, the soft mounds of flesh pressing his sweaty, muscr body


    At that moment, all of her murderous impulses vanished as a flood of Fragrant Yin Qi entered his body.


    The final petals of the Fragrant Yin Flower in his divine sea got filled with Fragran Yin Qi as the Frgarant Yin Flower bloomed with dreamy light.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah! Haaah!"


    While panting, Shui Huan leaned against the wall as her face was flushed. Her skirt was lying beside her and her fingers were inside her undergarment.


    One hand relieved the itch of her pussy while the other was fondling her breasts.


    " Haah¡­ Senior Brother¡­"

 Chapter 102 Ren Qian’s Proposal

    <h4>Chapter 102 Ren Qian''s Proposal</h4>


    Long Ming closed his eyes as he fell into a deep sleep of rxation. It felt like he was carrying a huge burden which he threw away and took a refreshing hot bath.


    And thanks to his Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art absorbed a vast amount of Fragrant Yin Qi from Lin Xie and Chen Yin''s bodies. The Fragrant Yin Qi swirled in his body as it made the Fragrant Yin Flower blossom.


    Long Ming didn''t have any time to check his golden core after reaching the True Core Formation Realm as he got busied by the Blissful Heaven Temple.


    But now, since everything is settled, Long Ming focused on his divine sea and looked at the situation.


    There was a golden sphere revolving in the middle of the nine celestial pirs inside his divine sea. The golden core gave off a multicolored light as Long Ming could feel he could now his control over true qi increased exponentially.


    Using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see the gentle and dreamy Fragrant Yin Qi and the robust Crimson Yang Qi revolving around the golden core.


    Not to mention, he could even feel a faint crackle of lightning the abyss made from his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique was right below the golden core.


    " This lightning¡­ This is¡­ Tribtion Lightning?" Long Ming was shocked when he saw that.


    Tribtion lightning was the destructive force of heaven and earth, filled with the aura of destruction and power. However, seeing he could control a small part of it, Long Ming became ecstatic.


    '' I guess I need to look for some lightning attribute techniques in the future.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    After all, if he can cultivate, it''s better to cultivate many powerful techniques to ensure his safety.


    But what made him more surprising was that His Netehr Dragon Void Devouring Physique can not only devour other physiques and take their attribute, but also allowed Long Ming to cultivate various physiques from scratch.


    '' As long as I get physique cultivation techniques, won''t I be simply invincible?'' He chuckled in his heart.


    Without thinking much, He retracted his vision and rxed.


    [ Ding! Host conquered! Lin Xie (B-Rank) Host gets a White Silver Grade Chest! Host gets 20,000 AP!]


    [ Ding! Host conquered Chen Yin! (B-rank) Host gets a White Silver Rank chest! Host gets 20,000 AP!]


    Long Ming raised his brows when he saw the two notifications. He almost forgot that the system was still running.


    [ Ding! Host opened two boxes at once!]


    [ Host gets Earth grade Battle Technique! Temporal Wind sh!]


    [ Host gets Sky Monitoring Eye (1x)]


    The Temporal Wind sh is a wind attribute technique. He felt that it will be good for Chen Yin.


    [ Sky Monitoring Eye; A treasure that conceals its aura and can be controlled with Host''s thought. Using this, you can see and watch events from a thousand miles away. Once activated, it will stay active for seven days]


    '' Ah! It''s a drone.'' Long Ming raised his eyebrows when he saw the description. He clicked his tongue when he saw it was a one time use item. However, at this crucial time, it will work wonders.


    Long Ming nodded as he turned off the system panel. There were only seven days remaining till the system''s end. Therefore, he decided to use it to its maximum.


    '' Hmm, Lin Xie and Chen Yin are only B rank. Shui Huan is A rank, and so is Luo Yingying. Should I¡­''


    He let a lightugh as he discarded his thought. Closing the system panel, Long Ming snuggled between Chen Yin and Lin Xie''s soft bodies.


    After a while, the trio slowly woke up as they looked at each other. Seeing the conditions, Chen Yin and Lin Xie''s expressions became red as their bodies trembled.


    " What? You guys regretting it?"


    Long Ming hugged both of their waists as he asked with a faint voice. " I am sorry. To help me, you guys¡­"


    Lin Xie pressed her finger on Long Ming''s lips when she heard that. " Brother Long, Don''t say such things. If not for your timely help, I might have turned into a cripple by now."


    "Besides, when we arrived here, we saw that your condition is pretty bad." Chen Yin added. " We felt like the only way you will feel relieved is if we do¡­"


    She didn''t end her sentence as her face turned red.


    Long Ming was shocked when he heard their narration. " What? A strange scent? Like the fragrance of flowers but more addictive and arousing?"


    Suddenly, a thought came into his mind, and looked into his body. He realized that his Incubus Bloodline waspletely supercharged as it coursed through his veins.


    He released a bit of his incubus pheromone mixed with his Fragrant Yin Qi. " Like this?"


    "Yes!"


    " Exactly!"


    Long Ming became confused when he realized that. However, he kept his question in his heart and passed the clothes to Lin Xie and Chen Yin. " You guys take a break. It won''t be good if Grand Elder realizes something."


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin looked at each other and they nodded immediately.


    Long Ming wore a loose robe as he walked out of the bedroom. However, when he looked at the doorsteps, he couldn''t help but feel some wetness.


    '' Eh? It''s not possible to Chen Yin to squirt this far, right?''


    A funny thought appeared in his mind, making Long Ming shake his head. He didn''t mind much as he walked out of his room.


    " Senior Brother!"


    " Senior Brother is out!"


    Long Ming''s eyebrows raised when he saw all his junior sisters surrounding him.


    " Well, No need to worry. I ampletely alright." Long Mingughed.


    " Where are Chen Yin and Lin Xie?"


    Long Ming''s expression stiffed when he heard Luo Yingying''s question. " Don''t worry. They are cultivating in my room. It''s better not to disturb them."


    " Besides, Where is Grand Elder?"


    Lou Yingying nodded. " She is in Lui Family manor and discussing something there."


    " Alright, That''s good." Long Ming nodded. " You all did well in the Purple Crystal Pavilion. You should all go and take a rest."


    Luo Yingyingughed. " All of us were standing outside for six hours already. We really need to go and take some rest."


    " What? Six hours?!"


    Long Ming was shocked when he heard that. Indeed, it was already night outside when he looked at the sky.


    '' So, I was pping the cheeks of two of my junior sisters while the rest of them standing outside the room?'' Long Ming mumbled in his heart. He was again thankful for the sound instion of the rooms as he looked at the disciples of Four Seasons Valley.


    " Eh? Where is Shui Huan?"


    " Err, She was also here. But she said she you guys are alright and just taking rest. She walked back to her room with a flustered face." Luo Yingying''s tone became a bit odd when she said that.


    Before Long Ming could say anything, a voice rang in his mind.


    '' Brat, I already waited enough. Come and meet me.''


    Long Ming realized it was Ren Qian''s voice, giving him surprise. " Alright, I need to go for now. Everyone, take some rest."


    Saying that, Long Ming walked downstairs and saw Ren Qian sitting at the corner table.


    Long Ming took a seat before him and gave an order to the waiter. " Three Golden Crowns and a te of Fried Milk Shrimps."


    Ren Qianughed as he took out a small gourd. " Haha, Your taste is pretty good."


    He waited till the waiter ce the dishes before him before snapping his fingers.


    Long Ming suddenly felt like he and Ren Qian got isted. Although he was still inside the restaurant, he felt like the other people and he was inpletely different worlds.


    " A spirit barrier?"


    " Not bad."


    Ren Qianughed as he poured two cups of wine from the gourd. The wine was filled with a rich scent, making Long Ming dizzy instantly. Long Ming was shocked as he used his Eternal True Spirit Art to protect his soul. Hos Deste Immortal Aur seeped out as it calmed hisposure.


    " Not bad indeed. If it was some random Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator, he would have to roll on the table just by the fragrance of this wine itself." Ren Qianughed lightly.


    Long Ming looked at that cup of wine warily, he didn''t dare to drink it immediately. After all, Even the praised Four Seasons True Wine could only make him feel tipsy if he allowed it to.


    However, his expression didn''t change as he looked at Ren Qian.


    " Alright, Let me cut to the chase." Ren Qian didn''t let Long Ming speak first.


    " Did you get the Great Mystic Mountain Imperial Physique from the Purple Crystal Pavilion?"


    Hearing that, Long Ming''s heartbeat increased as his nerves became tensed.? However, he didn''t show any fear.


    " Well, I think so."


    Long Ming could already gauge the strength of Ren Qian. A cultivator of his caliber would easily see through Long Ming''s lies, so Long Ming decided to be honest.


    " Haaah, To think Li Family will produce so many wastrels. Other than the great ancestors, none of them could get the Great Mystic Mountain Physique. And those who were able to get it was all outsiders."


    " Why is that so? Didn''t your ancestor leave a written manual for Great Mytsic Mountain Physique?"


    " No, He didn''t." Ren Qian became amused. " I mean, If one could cultivate the Purple Crystal Mountain Physique to the maximum, there is a chance to evolve it into Great Mystic Mountain Physique."


    " However, across the thousand years, no one would able to do that."


    " So, You are here to¡­Ask me to hand over the technique of Great Mytsic Mountain Physique?" Long Ming asked calmly.


    " You are wise." Ren Qian nodded.


    " However, It would be more better if you join our Liu Family altogether."


    Long Ming became baffled when he heard Ren Qian''s proposal.


    " That''s something I didn''t expect. " He became curious. " Why are you giving so much importance to this?"


    Ren Qianughed.


    " Brat, It looks like you think special physiques are like cabbages. Let me exin it to you."

 Chapter 103 Return To The Sect

    <h4>Chapter 103 Return To The Sect</h4>


    Ren Qian took a sip of the wine as he started. " Well, As you know, cultivation mainly refers to the Qi Refinement. However, cultivating the physique means Body Cultivation, which is in fact, more difficult than qi refinement."


    " Either, you are born with an innate special physique, or you have enough resources to cultivate a special physique by yourself. Other than these two methods, there is no way to cultivate a special physique."


    " There are various types of physiques, graded into Noble grade, Royal Grade, Imperial Grade, and Ancient Heaven Grade. Not taking Ancient Heaven Grade physiques, Imperial grade physiques are immensely powerful."


    " It''s said that if you reach the Grand Completion stage of an Imperial grade Physique, You can fight with a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator just with your physique alone."


    " Since you already got the Great Mystic Mountain Physique, I think you will soon reach the Initial Completion stage."


    " Initial Completion?" Long Ming''s expression turned odd when he heard that. In fact, He already reached the Minor Completion stage, but he didn''t say that.


    " Of course, you think cultivating special physiques are joke?" Ren Qian snorted.


    " Some people only focus on qi refinement while some focus on physique cultivation. However, only those with enough determination and resources cultivate both qi and body."


    " Our ancestor had an inborn Earth Spirit Body, a Noble grade physique. However, he strived forward and cultivated the Purple Crystal Mountain Physique. However, he received a fragment of an immortal text and found a way to cultivate the Great Mystic Mountain Physique."


    " Unfortunately, he was already a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator, so his body couldn''t adapt to the physique well."


    " As I said, cultivating a physique takes immense resources and the correct technique. Not to mention, You need to face two Physique Tribtions, one at the Minor Completion stage and one at the Grand Completion stage."


    " Powerful Physiques are branched out into lesser powerful physiques. For example, Purple Crystal Mountain Physique was a Royal grade physique branch of Great Mystic Mountain Physique."


    " Purple Stone Body and Immovable Mountain Body is the two branch of Purple Crystal Mountain Physique." Ren Qian spoke.


    " Do you even know how our ancestors obtained the Great Mystic Mountain Physique? He used a Hundred Thousand Year old Moutain Spirit to refine his body. Then tempered his body with Earth Fire Vein for five thousand years."


    " Each realm of body cultivation needs immense resources. To cultivate the Great Mystic Mountain Physique, You need the refined essence of at least a Millenium Old Mountain Spirit or blood essence of a practitioner of Great Mystic Mountain Physique of a high realm."


    " Well, Will the blood essence of your ancestor can be substituted?" Long Ming suddenly asked with a strange voice.


    " Indeed, That''s a much easier way to cultivate the Great Mystic Mountain Physique." Ren Qian nodded. " However, you think the blood essence of a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator is something easy to obtain? A single drop of blood can create a bloodbath among the sects."


    " When our ancestor ascended, he only left a few bottles of his True Blood. Across the years of usage, I don''t know how much of it remains."


    Long Ming''s word stuck in his throat when he heard that. Didn''t he just devour a huge chunk of blood essence in the Purple Crystal Pavilion, Perhaps that''s why he reached the minorpletion of Great Mystic Mountain Physique in one go.


    However, He also understood that the physique tribtion of the minorpletion stage would be much stronger than the lightning tribtion he faced in True Core Formation Realm.


    '' With my current power, I can contend with a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm Cultivator without any worry at all.''


    '' And if I manage to reach the minorpletion stage of my Spatial Light Physique, I might even escape from the clutches of a Harmonization Realm cultivator with his teleportation ability.''


    Long Ming looked at Ren Qian as he nodded. " Well, After hearing you, I have a general understanding of special physiques, Elder Ren. Let''s have a deal."


    " I am willing to give you the cultivation technique of Great Mystic Mountain Physique. However, you need to ept my demands."


    " Alright, Go ahead. I am listening." Ren Qian spoke.


    " First, I want the Liu Family to cooperate with Four Seasons Valley in terms of business and in the uing Imperial Tournament."


    Ren Qian raised his brows when he heard that. " Alright, I think I can agree to that."


    " Second demand, I want an equivalent technique of Lightning Attribute or a sword technique."


    " Lightning attribute or sword technique? That''s¡­" Ren Qian fell into pondering. " I have a royal grade lightning type technique. I wonder if it''s ok?"


    " As for sword technique, I would rmend you go to the Rising Sword Stele of Northen Province."


    " That''s eptable." Long Ming nodded.


    " Third request is¡­ I wonder if you have the Essence of Millenia old Mountain Spirit?"


    Ren Qian''s eyelid twitched when heard that. " You finally asking for some real thing, huh?"


    " Hehe, Elder Ren is wise. After all, I am also cultivating the Great Mystic Mountain Physique." Long Ming grinned.


    " A thousand jin of essence. No more than that."


    "Three thousand jin."


    " Fifteen hundred, That''s it."


    " Alright." Long Ming shrugged.


    " Also, Elder Ren, I wanted to ask you something." Long Ming spoke. " Do you know where I can obtain a space attribute physique technique?"


    " Space attribute physique technique?" Ren Qian shook his head. " I think the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire might have one. Besides them, Central Province''s Great Dawn Ancient Nation also has a spatial attribute bloodline and technique."


    " So, It''s rare. Got it." Long Ming sighed.


    Although he had obtained the Spatial Light Physique, there was no corresponding technique can cultivate.


    '' It would be great if I had a technique as a reference. But I guess, I need to cultivate it without any help.'' He thought inwardly.


    The instant teleportation ability was what Long Ming used against Mo Zhu to dodge his attacks. The Spatial Light Physique is indeed good for dodging andunching sneak attacks.


    " I will deliver the things you asked me soon."


    " Ah, Elder Ren, You have met such a polite junior. Shouldn''t you gift me something as our meeting gift?" Long Ming gave a cheeky smile.


    " Are you not getting enough?" Ren Qian grumbled.


    " Well, There could never be enough treasures, right?"


    " Brat, You are really greedy." Ren Qian spoke. " Hmm, Take this. It will help you against Harmonization Realm Cultivators two times."


    A dark colored bone appeared on Ren Qian''s palm as he threw to Long Ming. " As for using it, Figure out yourself."


    Long Ming took a sharp breath when he saw the bone. It was only the size of his palm, but Long Ming could already feel the profound energy sealed inside it.


    It was the same as the jade bracelet that Wu Liang gave Long Ming before they departed to the Southern Green Mountain.


    '' Hehe, With this, I finally have a load of life saving treasure.'' Long Ming grinned as he looked in front of him. The cup of special wine given by Ren Qian was still there.


    Long Ming took the cup and sealed it inside a jade box, then threw it into his spatial bracelet. The wine was indeed another treasure that Long Ming saved forter use.


    " Anyway, My task here is done. Now, The only thing remaining is the Imperial Tournament." Long Ming sighed and leaned back on his chair.


    After spending a night, Long Ming was rejuvenated. His cultivation was at the early stage of True Core Formation Realm. Although he could speedrun to the Peak stage, he wasn''t in a hurry at all.


    However, when he met Chen Yin and Lin Xie again, he couldn''t help but be surprised.


    With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming could see that they were on the verge of a breakthrough again.


    " Thank you, Senior Brother, You helped us in our cultivation again." Chen Yin bowed.


    " Indeed¡­ I didn''t know Senior Brother is proficient in dual cultivation." Lin Xie blushed as she spoke. " With this speed, we are sure that we will reach the High stage of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm before the Imperial Tournament."


    " En, That''s good."


    Long Ming was still in a daze when he heard that. He almost forgot that the Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art is also a dual cultivation technique.


    Wu Liang didn''t say anything as they boarded the flying boat and returned to the sect a dayter.


    When they reached the sect, a wave of congrattions showered Long Ming and the team. Especially Long Ming, Whose reputation soared.


    " Senior Brother made a new wine and won the Wine Gathering."


    " Senior Brother killed Mo Zhu of Blissful Heaven Temple!"


    " Senior Brother! Please give us some pointers too!"


    Long Ming waved his hands as he tried to suppress the crowd. When he returned to his Solitary Flower Peak, a figure dashed and lept into his arms.


    " Young Master!"


    " Xiao''er."


    Xiao''er hugged Long Ming tightly when she finally saw him after so many days. It didn''t barely took a second before their lips locked in a passionate manner as Xiao greeted Long Ming with her body and lips.


    After a moment of a passionate kiss, their lips parted and they looked at each other.


    " Young Master, You must been tired. I¡­ I should prepare the food and bath for you." Xiao''er bowed as she spoke with a smile.


    " Mm, I still need to report to the Sect Master. I will be right back." Long Ming nodded as he rubbed her lips.


    Such an adorable girl, Long Ming thought. He already prepared a n to have *fun* during the bath with her.


    But then, His expression changed as he sighed.


    " I have to leave."

 Chapter 104 Maid’s Serving! An Luan’s Arrival In Late Night

    <h4>Chapter 104 Maid''s Serving! An Luan''s Arrival In Late Night</h4>


    When he arrived at the Deste Winter Pce, the guards bowed and let Long Ming pass.


    When Long Ming entered, he couldn''t help but feel a light chill throughout his body.


    " Greetings, Master." Long Ming bowed and cupped his fist. " As you asked, the trip to the Southern Green Mountain has been fruitful. Almost all of our disciples broke through by a small stage, increasing their strength by a whole level."


    " Not to mention, Shu Huan, Lin Xie, and Chen Yin''s progress is much more than that."


    Like a beauty standing in an endless expanse of snow, Long Ming could see the mesmerizing figure of Xia Yuqing''s back.


    " En, I can certainly see changes in Lin Xie and Chen Yin¡­ Both in cultivation and in¡­ Body."


    Long Ming''s body shivered as his expression turned stiff. " I¡­ I don''t understand what Master meant by that."


    " Haah, I guess it''s my fault in the end." Xia Yuqing let out a sigh.


    " I let the wolf enter the back of the sheep. Now, the sheep are eaten, How can I me the wolf?"


    Long Ming''s heart thumped when he heard that. It looks like Xia Yuqing realized that Chen Yin and Lin Xie are not innocent maidens anymore, ah.


    " Well, Master, I don''t see any sheep being eaten. Perhaps the wolf and sheep reached a mutual agreement?" Long Ming spoke lightly.


    But then, a sh of gentle snowy light shed as a pristine long sword appeared right on his neck. Long Ming didn''t flinch as a light smile appeared on his face.


    " Hmmm, You certainly got stronger¡­ and bolder."


    Xia Yuqing''s eyes narrowed when she saw Long Ming''s reaction. A slight unwillingness appeared in her eyes as she kept her sword on Long Ming''s neck.


    " Master, There is no way I will ever betray the Four Seasons Valley. Not to mention, I did what you asked me to do. I am sure Master won''t kill me¡­at least not now."


    Xia Yuqing became dejected as she sheathed her sword. The cold atmosphere vanished instantly.


    " Hmph, A True Disciple should be virtuous, a holder of a firm dao heart withplete transparency. A righteous individual with talent and ability to carry the sect on his back."


    " But, What kind of disciples I got this time? Albeit somewhat talented, he is vicious and cunning, lustful, and someone who carries a knife in his heart?"


    Long Ming almostughed out, but he suppressed it. " Master, would you really like it if I was an ideal True Disciple?"


    He had to admit, Xia Yuqing was a tough individual. But she is also kind of a tsundere.


    " Hmph, Of course." Xia Yuqing spoke, but Long Ming clearly heard the falter in her voice.


    Yes, What a lie.


    " Then, I shall reflect on my actions, Master. I will not disappoint you¡­ I will try to not." Long Ming grinned.


    " However, There are some gifts I brought for you. Please ept it."


    A few jars of Four Seasons True Wine, A bright pendant iid with various gems, a deep violet robe with golden wave patterns, and a fruit appeared on Long Ming''s hand, giving to Xia Yuqing.


    Xia Yuqing''s brows twitched as she secretly bit her lower lips.


    " Such mundane things, you think I will be pleased with them?" Xia Yuqing turned around.


    " Leave them on the table, I will see themter."


    Long Ming gave a lightugh as he nodded.


    " As you say, Master."


    After returning to the Solitary Flower Peak, Long Ming calmly sat beside Xiao''er and finished dinner.


    After that, with a devilish grin, he pulled her into the bathroom for a romantic bath.


    Xiao''er felt her young master''s palm caressing her soft body as both of them shared the same bathtub. The water rippled as their body rubbed against each other.


    " Ahhnn¡­ Young Master, You lips are so¡­"


    Xiao''er moaned when she felt Long Ming''s lips gently teasing the peaks of her mountains as his fingers kept squeeing her soft mounds.


    " Hmm, I can see that you already consolidated your cultivation of Low stage of True Core Formation Realm." Long Ming spoke while he yed with her wet hair.


    " Mhm, Thanks to the young master''s help, I managed to create a Polished True Core. The elders saw me and decided to give me the token of an Inner Disciple."


    Xiao''er spoke with happiness as she she closed her eyes, enjoying the pleasure of Long Ming''s touch.


    " Well, Congrattions for being a Inner Disciple." Long Ming grinned. " Well, Shouldn''t we celebrate it a bit?"


    '' Ahnn!"


    Xiao''er cheeks turned rosy when she felt Long Ming''s rod rubbing against her sacred gates.


    Her arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck as she looked into his eyes with a dreamy gaze.


    " Of course, I have been waiting for you toe back. So, we could celebrate together." Xiao''er got up a bit and adjusted her body. Then, alleging with Long Ming''s cock, she sat down, sheathing Long Ming''snce with her sacred gate.


    " Mmnnn¡­ I missed it¡­"


    Her sacred well got packed with Long Ming''s throbbing hard cock, making her eyes closed in pleasure. Long Ming only leaned back, resting his arms ob the tub''s edges.


    Xiao''er grinned as her body started to move. " You can rx, Young Master. Your maid will do all the work tonight."


    The water rippled as the two white rabbits of Xiao''er jumped before Long Ming. Long Ming''s couldn''t resist their allure as his face moved and pressed them on his lips.


    The stimtion on her breast made Xiao''er tingle. Long Ming grinned as his teeth kept teasing the pink buds of her breasts. His finger traced the back of Xiao''er as he used his Ecstatic Cloud Finger.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi rolled as he pressed a certain point of her body, making Xiao''er shiver as she got electrified.


    " AHHNNNN!"


    Her pussy mped and she hugged Long Ming tightly, showing that she reached her climax instantly. Her face rested on Long Ming''s neck as she kept taking deep breaths.


    " Haaah? I thought my maid said she will take care of my for this night?" Long Ming grinned deviously. " But look at this. She is already panting like so much."


    Xiao''er body flushed as she gently bit Long Ming''s neck. " It''s Young Master''s fault. Why do you know all the sensitive spots of my body? You keep teasing me so much¡­"


    Long Mingughed as he spanked her butt lightly, making her hug him even tighter. " Geez, It looks like you are not being obedient. Let me punish you."


    Suddenly, His hands wrapped around wait, locking her movement. Then, Long Ming suddenly started to hump against her with all his force, making her moan loudly.


    " AHNN! AHNN! AHNN! YOUNG MASTER! YOU ARE GOINGGG¡­FASTTTT!!"


    Xiao''er couldn''t even speak properly as Long Ming''s cock kept pounding her pussy. She just climaxed a bit earlier. However, Long Ming didn''t show any mercy as the movements of his hips became vigorous.


    " Young Master! At this rate¡­ I will cum again! Ahnn~"


    Xiao''er gritted her teeth to not lose herself in the flood of pleasure. However, Under Long Ming''s relentless attacks, how can she stay strong?


    " Nnnnnghhh!"


    Xiao''er''s chest rose and fell as her body pasted on Long Ming''s chest. Panting heavily, she could feel the pulsing rod inside her, pouring out a huge load of creamy liquid.


    " Haaah! Haaah! Young master¡­"


    Long Ming sucked the tender lips of Xiao''er as his palms kept rubbing her snow white buttocks. He could feel the Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art transferring qi back and from in their body, making a cycle.


    Xiao''er slowly got up as she walked out of the tub. After cleaning their body again in fresh water, she wiped Long Ming''s body and helped him to wear his robes.


    Long Ming chuckled as he waved his hands. " You should go and take some rest. I will cultivate now."


    " Yes, Young Master."


    Long Ming sat cross legged as his body was refreshed. Suddenly, his body was covered with a torrential storm of Fragrant Yin Qi as pink blossoms scattered around him.


    Suddenly, a new segment of Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art appeared in on his mind as the Fragrant Yin Flower in his dantian blossomed.


    '' This¡­ This is so absurd! This technique is so fucking¡­''


    When Long Ming understood the news segment of it, his eyes almost popped out. Currently, he reached the thirdyer of the Frgarant Blossosms of Endless Spring Art.


    First of all, The amount of Fragrant Yin Qi required to reach the fourth stage already caused a mini heart attack to Long Ming. However, After reaching the third stage, he was shocked to see the effect.


    *CHII CHII*


    The Fragrant Yin Qi was carrying a deep violet hue as it looked like a violet sma. Long Ming willed as it condensed into a sharp sword.


    Holding the hilt, Long Ming wielded it like a real sword. The violet sword moved as it shed the rocks and ground, creating deep gushes. The quantity and quality of Fragrant Yin Qi increased tremendously. Making it a deadly weapon in Long Ming''s arsenal.


    However, what made him even more shocked was the secondary ability of it.


    While dual cultivating, The Fragrant Yin Qi could mix with a woman''s soul, revealing all his memories and techniques she practiced before Long Ming''s eyes.


    Therefore, As long as Long Ming dual cultivates with any woman, all of her techniques will be easily learned by him.


    " Now, This is some harem protagonist power¡­"


    [ Ding! Xia Yuqing ate the Affection Raising Fruit! Current Affection: 70 (Affectionate)]


    [ Ding! Host gets 20,000 AP!]


    Long Ming licked his lips and joined his palm.


    '' I am so sorry, Master. But I truly wish to conquer you, Ah.''


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyebrows raised when he saw a person approaching his abode,


    " My, Elder An ising to my courtyard sote. I wonder what she needs from me?"


    Long Ming asked with a grin when she saw the fiery and sexy dress of An Luan.


    An Luan opened the door and entered his house while turning around and giving a seductive wink.


    " Well, For a wise man, A gesture is enough to make him understand."


    Long Ming gave a nefariousugh as he followed An Luan into his house. The doors closed as the cold wind blew outside.


    However, inside his abode, the atmosphere was much, hot.

 Chapter 105 New Strategy! A Letter To Patriarch Lan

    <h4>Chapter 105 New Strategy! A Letter To Patriarch Lan</h4>


    " Such a delicious wine! Second ce? I truly wonder what sort of wine it might be to beat this and get the first ce?"


    An Luanughed lightly as she drank the Four Seasons True Wine while sitting before Long Ming.


    " Well, I am d that you liked it." Long Ming smiled as he also took a sip.


    " So, How the External Resources Department is going?"


    An Luan sighed when she heard that. " Don''t ask me. It''s like solving a tangled mess of threads. If I am untying a know, the threads making three other knots."


    " Haha, Is that so?"


    " But¡­" An Luan added as she closed her eyes, savoring the wine. " It''s not that I didn''t make any improvements. In fact, even the Grand Elder is pleased with my work and gave me more power."


    " Then what do you think? Is there anywhere we can earn more money while meeting the ends of Sect''s need?" Long Ming asked.


    " Yes, I think I know a thing." An Luan asked. " You know, Our sect''s tailor-made dresses are famous across the entire Eastern Province, right? The quality and beauty of the clothes from Four Seasons Valley is something even Blissful Heaven Temple is envious of."


    " However, The difficulty of adding rune inscriptions on the dress makes the production of treasured dress low." An Luan exined to Long Ming thoroughly.


    " Now, If you mix the beauty of clothes with the durability of a treasured armor? Don''t you think the Four Seasons Valley will be easily able to dominate the market?"


    Long Ming was stunned when he heard that. Now he remembered one of the SSR grade professions he got from the first system the Divine Tailor.


    Back then, he didn''t use much other than showing off in front of the girls of Eternal Spring Tower and Elder Shi. However, Long Ming never used the power and talent of a Divine Tailor seriously.


    " A treasured cloth, you say?" Long Ming''s lips curled up as he pondered. " That''s an interesting idea. I am sure we can go in this direction."


    " Also,? I realized that our sect''s Medicinal Pill Hall is also consuming astronomical amounts of money. I want to cut off this finance. However, it''s an important section of Four Seasons Valley. After all, the medicinal herbs are something the disciples use almost daily."


    " Haah, I used to manage the finances of Lan Family. However, managing the finance of an entire sect is sure burdensome."


    Long Ming finished his wine as he fell into a deep thought. He felt that it was the right decision to bring An Luan to this sect. She truly has a knack of running business and managing resources and finances.


    " My, Elder An is doing so much hard work. Since you havee here, I guess I should do my best as the True Disciple to take off some of your burdens, yes?"


    An Luan''s lips curled as he stood up. She lightly walked toward Long Ming as she sat right on hisp.


    " You better, Young Master. Such a poor woman like me who left her husband and family to follow you, I am sure you won''t mistreat me, right?"


    " Of course not." Long Ming''s expression became serious as his arms wrapped around An Luan''s waist. " As an esteemed elder, I need to help you as much as I can, right?"


    An Luan giggled as she nodded. " Well, How about youe to my abode for further discussion? I certainly don''t want to disturb thatss who is hearing our conversation behind that door."


    Long Ming alsoughed as he nodded. Xiao''er suddenly jumped out as she shouted. " No-No! I didn''t hear anything!"


    " Well, Xiao''er, You should take some rest. I am going with Elder An for some¡­ Discussion."


    Xiao''er pouted when she saw Long Ming leaving with An Luan.


    " Actually, My husband Lan Xiao sent a secret message to me, asking how the sect is going. What should I answer?" An Luan suddenly asked.


    A strange grin appeared on Long Ming''s lips as he nodded. " Just wait, you will know soon."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Dear husband. I am d to know that your health is well.? Are you missing me?"


    Because I am missing you too much. After being here, away from you, I finally realized being away from you is making my heart feel empty.


    Currently, I am mixing well within the sect. I am really, getting pounded by a huge¡­work¡­


    " Ahnn~ Dear, If you go like that, My handwriting will be messy.."


    An Luan moaned as she was lying naked on her bed, on her belly as she wrote a letter with a brush.


    Long Ming was chest rubbed against her wless back as his hips moved vigorously, pounding the pussy of An Luan in a tiron position.


    " Well, Doesn''t it excite you more?" Long Ming''s lips teased her nape as he gave a deep thrust.


    " Believe me, Lady An. You truly love to make Lan Xiao wear green hatt too much."


    " My, I am just a poordy who got trapped by your honey words. Please, don''t nder my faith toward my dear husband" An Luan spoke with a mock pleasing tone.


    The bed creaked as Long Ming''s thrusts became more and more imposing. An Luan felt her body was truly getting rxed as Long Ming and she had passionate sex.


    " So, Where I was? Ahhnn¡­Yes~"


    With weak fingers, An Luan held the brush as she continued the letter.


    Husband, After arriving in the Four Seasons Sect, I felt a sense of freedom. However, I am also carrying a huge¡­burden inside me every night.


    I am currently working in the resources and finance department of Four Seasons Valley. However, I realized that they were really hiding their strength. So, you better be careful.


    Long Ming suddenly held An Luan''s breast from behind as he gave them a tight massage with his Ecstatic Cloud Palm. The Fragrant Yin Qi teased the sensual nerves of An Luan, almost making the brush drop from her hands.


    " Ahnn! This is so unfair!" An Luan bit her lips as she ced the brush on the table. " I can''t focus on the writing for now."


    " My dear Young Master, How about we finish a round first?"


    Long Ming''s pounding slowed down a bit as he chuckled. " As Lady An says."


    He got off a bit as An Luan got into a better position. Making Long Ming''s thighs as a chair, she sat on his rock hard cock while facing her back to him.


    " Mm, Now¡­ This is the correct writing posture."


    Like a noble woman sitting on her chair with elegance, An Luan''s pussy swallowed Long Ming''s rod as a whole as she took her precious seat. Looking at the desk beside her bed, she started to write the letter while slowly moving her waist.


    Her movement was light and minimal, Long Ming closed his eyes in pleasure as he let her do as she pleased. Her pussy got tightened as she tried to grind Long Ming''s meat rod inside her.


    However, this position also gave Long Ming the ability to tease An Luan''s sweet spots.


    Suddenly, An Luan''s entire body got jolted as she felt a strong stimtion from her pink bean. Long Ming teased her pink pearl with his Ecstatic Cloud Finger, giving it zaps of Fragrant Yin Qi to make her body numb with pleasure.


    " MMMGHHH!! DEAR, YOU A SUCH A¡­"


    The writing desk shook as An Luan''s hand clutched it. The inkpot suddenly fell down and the ink sttered on the ground.


    " Haaah! Haahh~Look, what you have done¡­" An Luan panted as she turned her head and gave a pouting look at Long Ming. " How am I going to write now?"


    " Oh, Don''t worry, I have a good way to use the remaining ink." Long Ming grinned as the inkpot floated and became still right in front of their lower body.


    Suddenly, Long Ming held An Luan''s body as the power of his thrusts increased. An Luan''s whole body trembled as she clutched the desk before her tightly as Long Ming humped fiercely.


    " Ahnn! Ahnn! Ahnn! Dear~"


    " Work some more dear¡­" Long Ming panted as his pace increased. " We going to make some *exotic* ink for Patrirach Lan after all."


    " Ahnn! It couldn''t be¡­"


    A strange thought appeared in An Luan''s mind as his body became a degree warmer as the excitement increased her bliss.


    " I am¡­ I am cumming!!"


    An Luan''s eyes rolled back in pleasure as the corners of her lips got wet with her saliva.


    Long Ming''s cock kept pumping his warm essence inside An Luan''s pussy. An Luan also reached orgasm at the same time, making her sacred well ooze out her love juice and mix with Long Ming''s semen.


    Their body fluid mixed as it dripped on the inkpot, An Luan and Long Ming a devious chuckle to each other as their lips tasted each other.


    Mixing the exotic ink, An Luan started to write her unfinished letter again.


    Husband, every time I think of you¡­ It made my belly flutter and¡­ warm


    An Luan wrote as Long Ming gave her another creampie while they fucked while standing.


    I am writing this letter while taking a huge load¡­of tension. However, You don''t worry. For you, I will keep taking load after load¡­whether it''s day or¡­night.


    Please take care, My dear husband. I am truly lonely here.


    Yours Faithful Wife


    An Luan


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Reading the letter, Lan Xiao sighed as a smile appeared on his face. His wife is working so meticulously in Four Seasons Valley for him after all.


    '' But what''s this strange smell? Is it a new perfume?'' Lan Xiao mumbled. Not to mention, he also saw the letter font and ink was a bit weird after halfway through the letter. But he didn''t mind it.


    Not to mention, seeing some bloats of liquid on the paper, it looked like An Luan was crying or sweating too much.


    '' Keep working hard, An Luan. I will definitely bring you back after we rake down the Four Seasons Valley.''


    Lan Xiao nodded and folded the letter.


    The strange scent lingered in his nostrils for a while.


    .


    .


    .


    An Luan on Long Ming''''s chest while teasing his chest with her lips and tongue.


    " Such a faithful wife."


    Long Ming caressed her hair as a window appeared before him.

 Chapter 106 Empress Winter Song And Tailoring Method

    <h4>Chapter 106 Empress Winter Song And Tailoring Method</h4>


    When the sun rose, Long Ming saw An Luan was still sleeping. Covering her body with the bedsheet, Long Ming got up and walked out.


    Washing his face and adjusting his clothes, Long Ming walked out of the An Lauan''s abode. He didn''t go anywhere but straight to the scripture pavilion.


    " Hoh? Look, Who is it the early morning?"


    Long Ming smiled as he cupped his fist. " Good Morning, Elder Cai. How are you?"


    " I am fine. Hehe, everyone in the sect talking about you." Elder Caiughed. " Brat, You made our sect reach the second ce with your new wine? Hurry up and give me some jars."


    " Haha, Don''t worry, Elder Cai. I have plenty to spare." Long Ming smiled as he gifted two jars of wine to Elder Cai.


    " Such rich fragrance. This is no ordinary wine indeed." Elder Cai sealed the jars again as she nodded with satisfaction. " Alright, I don''t see you much in Scripture Pavilion. Why did youe here in the early morning?"


    " Do you have any collection of forging manuals along with some books about tailoring?"


    " Tomes of forging treasures? There are some, but they are only low ranked books. You can find them in the right section of the first floor." Elder Cai replied.


    " As for tailoring, Our sect has quite some books about it. Not to mention, You might find something in the section of Empress Winter Song."


    " Empress Winter Song?" Long Ming nodded when he heard Elder Cai. He showed the token of True Disciple, given by Xia Yuqing.


    " Well, I guess I can visit all the floors, right?"


    Elder Cai nodded as he checked the insignia. " Indeed, You can go and visit all the floors. However, You can''t touch the Imperial and Royal grade weapons and techniques without any permission, alright?"


    " Hehe, I wonder."


    Long Ming chuckled as he went ti the third floor directly. There were many disciples of Four Seasons Valley studying inside the library when they noticed Long Ming''s presence.


    "? Greetings, Senior Brother."


    " Greetings, Senior Brother Long."


    Long Ming grinned as he nodded at them. Getting greeted by flustered junior sisters, This is truly a bliss, ah.


    Long Ming browsed through the books and found two scriptures regarding the tailoring and art of making treasured clothes. Using his ''Skill Learn'' ability, Long Ming mastered them in one go.


    With his superiorprehension and the Divine Tailor profession, he quickly digested the knowledge and moved on.


    When he first got the Divine Tailor ability, his cultivation and maniption of true qi were minuscule. Therefore, he couldn''t do much with it.


    However, now he reached the True Core Formation Realm and awakened his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique, he could freely use the true qi to practice any cultivation technique he wished.


    When Long Ming reached the higher section of Scripture Pavilion, he saw a formation blocking his ray. When he put his palm on the curtain of light, it bounced back.


    Long Ming showed his token as the curtain light vanished, allowing Long Ming to walk inside.


    When Long Ming entered the section of Empress Winter Song, there were only a few things there.


    " First was the Empress Winter Song''s personally made technique, The Heavenly Snow Song Art. The scroll was tightly sealed with dense runic chains. However, he could feel an imposing aura and a freezing chill just by looking at it.


    Then, there are some other techniques that were essible to the disciples of Four Seasons Valley. The Winter Star Energy Art is one of the techniques that can be used with any sort of weapon. It was a good technique for the disciples to cultivate the winter branch techniques of Four Seasons Valley.


    There are also some cultivation notes left behind by herm which didn''t attract Long Ming. However, browsing through the misceneous items, he found an old book.


    It was kept far away and wouldn''t catch anyone''s eyes. However, Since Long Ming was observing the entire library section with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he felt a faint imperial aura inside that book.


    It was very faint and almost escaped from his eyes. Out of curiosity, Long Ming picked it up and flipped it.


    He saw it was just filled with various childish scribbles and random drawings. There was no special feel to it, at least for those who couldn''t see its profundity.


    Long Ming felt his Deste Immortal Aura covering the old book as the ink started to flow out from it.


    The letters arranged themselves Long Ming realized that it was a diary.


    '' Damn, Diary of a Heavenly Emperor?'' Long Ming became ecstatic when he saw that.


    Long Ming flipped through it and realized why Elder Cai referred him here. Empress Winter Song waspletely into tailoring and making various clothes. Not to mention, her clothes were the same as treasured armor, impervious to magical techniques and weapons.


    Long Ming''s eyes shed when he saw the diary. Not only did she write in detail about her art and techniques to create special clothes, she also wrote many things about that time.


    '' Art of tailoring is just another branch of cksmithing and rune inscription. In the end, everything depends on the usage of materials and the inscription of runes. Not to mention, the special clothes need much more caring than robust armor.''


    Long Ming held the diary as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed with a dreamy azure light, He used the Temporal Fate Simtion and tried to gauge the imperial aura residue on the diary.


    *BANG!*


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt a terrible shock in his soul as he almost coughed a mouthful of blood. He hastily circted his Eternal True Spirit Art to calm down his soul.


    '' Heh, Even a remaining residue of a Heavenly Emperor is this powerful. I wonder what will happen if someone fully unleashes the might of an Imperial Weapon?''


    However, it wasn''t entirely fruitless. Long Ming at least saw quite a lot with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes before he closed it. Empress Winter Song was truly a peerless beauty. She was amicable, but still had a cold persona.


    However, she secretly loved sewing and crafting clothes. Perhaps it was her hobby from childhood which she couldn''t let go of. This diary was his personal diary which she kept with her even when she became a Heavenly Emperor.


    Long Ming caressed it with his Deste Immortal Aura as the imperial intent inside it seemed to be calm down and influenced by his power.


    Although the power was faint, It was still tremendous for anyone with a low cultivation realm. Long Ming wondered if he could use this power as a weapon.


    " But anyway, WIth this, I think I can start working on my n." Long Ming picked up the diary and came down.


    " Huh? There is a diary?"


    Long Ming became confused when he saw Elder Cai asking in surprise. " You didn''t know? I thought you referred to this when I asked you about tailoring techniques."


    Elder Cai shook her head. " What I meant was the Art of Silk Robe Crafting, a book written by Empress Winter Song."


    " But I didn''t see that book?"


    Elder Cai''s expression stiffened as she pped her thigh. " That damn, That old hag took that book again."


    Long Ming instantly understood who Elder Cai was referring to. " Ah, Don''t worry, Elder Cai. I was thinking about going to Elder Shi''s abode. I will take that scroll from there."


    " Alright."


    Long Ming went to the abode of Elder Shi, with whom he had a good impression. Long Ming liked her because she helped Long Ming when he came to the sect.


    Not to mention, she was also someone know knew a lot about tailoring and making clothes.


    " Greetings, Elder Shi, Are you free right now?"


    " Haha, You can say that. Come,e inside." Elder Shi gave an amicable smile.


    After having a light talk, Long Ming finally spoke about his desire, making Elder Shi shocked.


    " You¡­ You really wish to learn the tailoring from me?"


    " Why? Perhaps you don''t want to teach me?" Long Ming gave a lightugh.


    " No-Not that." Elder Shi shook her head. " This thing is¡­ It''s too¡­mundane. The art of crafting treasure clothes has been lose in Four Seasons Valley. It''s been years I have tried to understand the texts of Empress Winter Song."


    " Not to mention, For most disciples, This is not a preferable job." Elder Shi ridiculed. " Only those who don''t have talent or resourcese here to earn some money and spirit stones. So, it''s like¡­ a gathering ce of weak and talentless?"


    " I am just surprised how someone like you is interested in this." Elder Shi sighed. " If you wish, I will do my best to teach you."


    " Just some pointers will suffice, Elder Shi." Long Ming spoke. "Besides, Do you have the scroll of Empress Winter Song?"


    " Yes, I do. Wait a bit."


    Elder Shi gave Long Ming the scroll and another handbook. " Here, I havepiled all of my learning in this book. Hehe, I thought if I ever received a disciple, I would it it to them. But it''s alright."


    Long Ming epted it. " Thank you, Elder Shi. I will definitely not let you down."


    " Thest thing I want to ask, Elder Shi, Can I use your workshop?"


    Elder Shiughed as Long Ming gifted her a jar of wine. Sure, Go ahead and use as you wish."


    Long Ming nodded as he took a formation token from Elder Shi and entered the workshop. He could see various materials, demon beast skins and furs, and other things piled there.


    After that, he took the scroll of Empress Winter Song and Elder Shi and started to create a roadmap to use his Divine Tailor ability.


    " Art of making treasured clothes is the same as forging battle armor. The treasured clothes should have basic functions as defense and boosting the power of wearer, but it must be also aesthetically pleasant."


    " Meanwhile, Weapons and armor don''t need to look pleasant. It could be bulky, ugly, and heavy. But as long as it served its function, it will be fine."


    " The most important thing to make cloth is, ''Thread''. And, with this method, I can refine any material into the finest thread, imbue with colors of elements, and craft clothes."

 Chapter 107 Making Treasure Clothes

    <h4>Chapter 107 Making Treasure Clothes</h4>


    Long Ming was in deep contemtion as he visualized all the techniques inside his head. The art of refining materials, the art of making threads and patching and sewing them up, then the art of inscribing runes on them, everything shed in his mind.


    Long Ming looked at the Empress Winter Song''s diary and read some notes.


    " Little Hong is doing well with her dao of fire. Looking t it, I had a sh of inspiration and I thought about a robust me maniption technique."


    " Using the Scorching me Technique with the Crimson Yang Qi of Scarlet Jade Great Body Art with amplify the intensity of mes by tens of fold."


    " However, I guess a normal disciple won''t be able to endure thebined power of Crimson Yang Qi and Scorching me technique. However, I guess I could try and see if I can make the process easier."


    Long Ming read the note as he raised his brows. Since he already mastered both techniques, he decided to put this method of Empress Winter Song into use.


    Since he knew the Scorching Summer Flowing Energy Art, he circted his true qi and produced a lump of zing me on his palm. After that, he circted the Crimson Yang Qi and imbued into the mes bit by bit.


    The mes infused with Scralet Yang Qi slowly changed their colors and turned into crimson gold color like the setting sun.


    Long Ming waved his hands as the new cirction method appeared in his heart. Suddenly, the lump of me turned into a gigantic ball of me as it gave off a terrible heat.


    " This me is perfect for both refining hard metals and fighting against the enemy. Let me call it Scarlet Sun me."


    Long Ming took some Deep Sea Iron and used the mes to melt it. He used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes to monitor the most minor changes of the metal while he was refining with the Scarlet Sun me.


    The Deep Sea Iron was a tough metal. However, under Long Ming''s careful usage of the Scarlet Sun me, It slowly began to melt.


    Long Ming focused as he slowly burned the impurities of the metal, letting the pure ore temper inside the me.


    After that, His spiritual qi seeped out as he took a hammer nearby and imbued it with his spiritual qi.


    Using the hammer, Long Ming started to temper the molten ore again and again, till it became smaller and much more resilient.


    In this method, both true qi and spiritual qi need to work in equilibrium. A slight mistake, and the metal might crack or burn in the mes.


    Not to mention, hammering with spiritual qi also makes the metal ready for the rune inscription afterward.


    When the lump of metal came to the perfect shape, Long Ming used his spiritual qi and elongated it like thin threads. Here, Long Ming was cautious as a single mistake will lead to cracks in the threads.


    These threads need to retain their quality as metals, but also be usable like cotton threads. Bncing these two things was the most crucial task for any treasure cloth tailor.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes flinched as the threads broke apart. The soft metal threads became like small needles as they broke, falling on the floor.


    " Wow, To think I will still end up making a mistake."


    Long Ming grinned as he looked at it. After that, he tried again. And this time, he was much faster than the first time as he got familiarized with the process.


    While tempering the metal ores, Long Ming kept hammering them till they reached the right density. After that, he slowly weaved them into threads as his spiritual qi covered the entire process.


    He had to admit, it would take a great deal of a True Core Formation Realm cultivator''s spiritual qi to do this without any break. However, since Long Ming''s soul was much stronger and he is using the Eternal True Spirit Art, he was in a much easier condition.


    " Finally!"


    Long Ming became ted as he saw a roll of metallic thread before his eyes. It was soft like thread but robust like metals. After that, Long Ming took a patch of demonic beast skin and cut it with scissors.


    Using his Divine Tailor''s ability, he was very fast and efficient as he used his true qi to weave and fuse the beast skin with the metal thread.


    He basically sliced the beast''s skin into two thin slices and used the metal threads to create a hard, chain mail likeyer between the two beast skinyer.


    He made it thin and light, so the wearer of the dress wouldn''t feel burdened at all.


    After that, his spiritual qi oozed out as he took out his Treasured Jade Brush, The final thing remaining was the inscription of runes.


    Long Ming decided to use two simple buffs, but by using advanced runic diagrams. His brush moved as he started to draw inscriptions on the dress.


    When he made the final stroke, the dress glowed with a bright light as it was covered with various colors. A weird dress of beast skin and metal threads turned into a beautiful blue garment of a girl.


    Long Ming became ecstatic as he took the dress and rushed to Elder Shi.


    " Huh? It''s barely been six hours, yet he came back?" Elder Shi mumbled. " Did hee to return the scroll?"


    " Elder Shi, I made this garment, Does it look fine?"


    Elder Shi almost choked when she heard that. Holding the blue garment, she inspected it.


    " What? Such intricate runes on it¡­ And, it feels so tough yet so light." Elder Shi mumbled.


    " I think it can withstand me or Ice, at least until the level of True Core Formation Realm. Not to mention, it also gives a 20% speed boost and lightness to the wearer."


    " This¡­ This is a bloody Xuan grade dress!"


    Elder Shi looked at Long Ming with shock. " You really made this?"


    " Yes?"


    " In just six hours?"


    Long Ming nodded. " I need to research a bit and even failed once. But, I managed to do it."


    " You¡­ Failed once and managed to make this on the second try?"


    Elder Shi was so shocked that she almost fell to her knees. But Long Ming didn''t mind it. " However, It''s really bad. Six hours to make a single dress. Although the quality is very good, it won''t make much money unless it''s mass-produced."


    " So, we need to lessen the quality and improve the quantity."


    Elder Shi looked at Long Ming and nodded. " You are right. However, not everyone has the time and talent to be a spirit tailor. Although people think it''s lower in difficulty than alchemy or formation arts, it got its own trouble."


    " To mass produce treasured clothes, you need a bunch of well trained disciples along with a much easy to master technique."


    Long Ming nodded when he heard Elder Shi. Elder Shi, I understand it. Don''t worry, I will think of a solution."


    " That''s good. No matter what, Don''t hesitate toe to me for help. I will do my best to help you." Elder Shi was ecstatic when she heard that.


    As Long Ming was thinking of departing, he suddenly got a voice message from Xia Yuqing.


    Taking his leave, he went straight to Deste Winter Pce where he saw Mu Qinglian.


    " My, of Wine Gathering Duel is here, huh?" Mu Qinglian chuckled when she saw Long Ming.


    " Senior Sister, You are just overpraising. How could I be the champion? I just won two fights." Long Ming chuckled.


    " It seems like you don''t know that the duel match got canceled after you killed Mo Zhu." Mu Qinglian chuckled. " Since you won thest match, people taking you as the champion."


    " That''s retarded."


    Long Ming gave his honest opinion. Before Mu Qinglian could say anything, Xia Yuqing appeared before them.


    '' Mm, Is it just me or¡­Master looking at me with a bit of soft gaze?'' Long Ming thought inwardly. '' Ah, did the affection raising fruit work well?''


    " Well, Since both of you are here, Let me ask you something." Xia Yuqing''s voice was cid and cold as usual. " The Imperial Tournament is near, You guys are ready?"


    " Yes, Master."


    " Qinglian, You will go and ask Yuexin to make sure disciples will do well in sect missions. We need to increase their experience."


    " As for you, Long Ming, I know you have a greatprehensive ability." Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming.


    " I want to you to take lectured and help the Outer and Inner disciples in their cultivation."


    " Huh? You want me to take sses?" Long Ming was startled.


    " What? You don''t want to?" Xia Yuqing raised her eyebrows. Long Ming shook his head.


    "No, Not at all. I am willing to do it, Master."


    Xia Yuqing nodded as she took a seat. " Your cultivation is improving steadily. But I always wondered a thing."


    " You aren''t practicing the Four Seasons Grand Swordsy or Flowing Energy art at all. Why is that?" Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " I didn''t feel like it." Long Ming chuckled. " There was some problem which I faced when I tried to cultivate it long ago. However, from then on, I didn''t bother to practice it again."


    Xia Yuqing looked at him. " Do not forget that you are my disciple. If you are having any problem, you cane to me."


    " Anytime?" Long Ming blurted out. Mu Qinglian almost choked when she heard that.


    Long Ming clicked his tongue as he almost regretted it. But, Xia Yuqing didn''t be angry.


    " You cane anytime."

 Chapter 108 Crafting Hall

    <h4>Chapter 108 Crafting Hall</h4>


    Both Long Ming and Mu Qinglian were stunned when they heard Xia Yuqing. They though that she would at least snarl at Long Ming for his shit joke.


    But to think she didn''t say anything. Mu Qinglian gasped as she looked at Long Ming and then at Xia Yuqing.


    '' Wait¡­Master and Long Ming¡­they couldn''t be¡­ No, No! That''s not right! That''s impossible!''


    Mu Qinglian shook her head hurriedly as she looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming was also stunned when he heard Xia Yuqing. " Master, I was just just joking. However, If I feel any problem regarding my cultivation, I will definitely ask for your help."


    " You better." Xia Yuqing looked at him. " Don''t think it''s good to do everything by yourself. If you are a disciple of this sect, the sect is also your house."


    Long Ming felt a strange warmness in his heart when he heard that. He nodded as he suddenly thought about something.


    " Master, If you agree, I wish to recruit some some disciples and make a hall for treasure cloth crafting."


    Xia Yuqing raised her brows when she heard that. " You wish to teach the disciples the art of treasure cloth crafting?"


    " Yes."


    " It''s not that I can''t allow you for this." Xia Yuqing spoke. " However, It''s avery tedious thing to do."


    " Five hundred years ago, Our sect used to have a Crafting Hall. However, The disciples were simply unable toprehend it anything after thest elder of Crafting Hall passing away."


    " Elder Shi took the mantle and tried to run the Crafting Hall. But, the disciples felt it was like waste of time and resources and took leave from it."


    Long Ming was startled when he heard that. " So, the disciples couldn''tprehend any teachings?"


    " Precisely." Xia Yuqing nodded. " Are you sure you want to reopen it?"


    Long Ming didn''t doubt regarding his ability to teach. After all, His supremeprehension was simply outrageous.


    Not to mention, his Divine Tailor profession and the techniques and notes of Empress Winter Song, he was confident to build a strong hall.


    Xia Yuqing was surprised to see Long Ming was still adamant. " Alright, You can do it. But just take note that disciples must also have their time to cultivate."


    " As you say, Master."


    Mu Qinglian and Mu Qinglian nodded as they bowed and left the Deste Winter Hall. Xia Yuqing sighed when she saw Long Ming leaving.


    '' Haaah, Sometimes I think why Long Ming acts like this.'' Xia Yuqing rubbed her forehead. '' Mastering all of our sect technique yet practicing none, What is his n?''


    '' Strange... Why am I thinking about him?''


    Meanwhile, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian flew together as Mu Qinglian was riding a flying sword.


    " Why do you decide to handle the Crafting Hall again?"


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as he spoke. " I realized that it got a huge business prospect. I mean, we can''t forge powerful armor. However, Don''t underestimate the power of fashion."


    " Did you forget how people became mad when I released the four cosying dress?" Long Ming grinned. " Clothes and ornaments have always been an attraction for women. They are our targeted customers. If we capture them, we can just wait for the money to roll into the sect."


    " You are really thoughtful." Mu Qinglian replied as she looked at her. " Looking at you now, You aren''t looking weak and feeble as before."


    " When did I look weak and feeble?" Long Ming coughed. " That was a mere act, alright?"


    Mu Qinglian''s eyes narrowed, making Long Ming''s heart chill. " So, it was an act? You feigned weakness so I could take into the sect? My¡­It looks like you have some ulterior motive after all."


    Long Ming hurriedly shook his head." Th-That''s not it, Senior Sister! I was actually weak back then."


    " Which I should take as truth?" Mu Qinglian hummed. " That you were acting or you were weak."


    " Ahem, Let me tell you the truth." Long Ming''s face turned serious. " I was actually a powerful cultivator. But, due to some reasons, I lost my cultivation and became a mortal. That''s when I got discovered by you."


    " Is that so?" Mu Qinglian narrowed her eyes. But when she remembered how she heard Long Ming''s cultivation was at True Core Formation Realm yet he killed Mo Zhu like a fly, she thought his exnation might be feasible.


    " Anyway, I will keep an eye on you." Mu Qinglian spoke. " I must oversee your cultivation and ensure you aren''t falling behind."


    " I am not a little kid, Senior Sister." Long Ming grumbled.


    " What? Looks like you are liking the other sisters more, hm?" Mu Qinglian chuckled. But an icy sharpness hid under her words, giving Long Ming goosebumps.


    Suddenly, a sharp sword intent rose as a new person appeared before them.


    " Brother Long, Here you are."


    " Sister Ming!"


    Long Ming was surprised to see Ming Yuexin here. Mu Qinglian''s expression turned stiff when she saw Ming Yuexin.


    " I wanted to meet you when you came back. However, you got busy so I couldn''t meet you." Ming Yuxin grinned. " Well, I must congratte you for getting second ce in Wine Gather. Now, I regret not going with you."


    Long Ming nodded. " The Purple Crystal Pavilion might be useful to you, Sister Ming. However, your own swordprehension is good, so, It''s not really a big of a loss."


    Mu Qinglian sighed when she saw Long Ming and Ming Yuexin talking happily.


    " Sister Ming, Sect Master asked me to inform you something." Mu Qinglian spoke as she looked at Ming Yuexin.


    " Yes, Sister Mu?"


    " Come with me. We will discuss somewhere else."


    " Wait¡­!!"


    Before Ming Yuexin could say anything, Mu Qinglian held her and flew away. Long Ming became speechless when he saw that.


    [ Ding! You received 1000 AP from Ming Yuexin]


    [ Ding! You received 200 AP from Mu QInglian]


    Long Ming shook his head as he flew toward the disciple za. He realized that his inventory almost got jumbled with random treasures he got from all the systems. So, he decided to check which he is going to keep and which he is going to sell or use for Four Seasons Valley.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Hey, Why did they summoned us?"


    " I heard Senior Brother Long Ming is going to give us a lecture."


    " What? You mean that Long Ming?"


    " Hehe, I''ve never seen him, but I heard he is pretty handsome."


    Suddenly, all the girls became silent when they saw a figure in the sky. Long Mingnded on his feet as he retracted his Storm Wind Wings.


    Seeing Long Ming''s appearance, everyone became stunned as they looked at him with gaze filled with awe and admiration.


    " Haha, Greetings, Junior Sisters. I am Long Ming, the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming gave a bright smile as he cupped his fist.


    " Ahhh!"


    " So handsome!"


    " Heavens! Am I seeing right?"


    Long Ming''s ears twitched when he heard that. Then, all the girls bowed as they looked at Long Ming.


    " Greetings, Senior Brother Long."


    Long Ming noticed Chu Li, whom he apanied to the Wine Gathering, the suspected disciple with a hidden physique.


    " Alright, Since you guys are Outer Sect Disciples, It''s my duty to guide you throughout your cultivation path." Long Ming''s voice was cool andposed.


    " Let me ask you the first question." Long Ming looked at the girls. " Who among you thinks that your cultivation aptitude is average?"


    Suddenly, the area turned silent as the girls looked at each other. Is it some sort of test? Who will admit their shorings in the open?


    However, Long Ming saw Chu Li raising her hands as she walked to the side. "My¡­My cultivation has been stagnated for a while. I¡­ I think my apitude is pretty average."


    Long Ming nodded as he looked at others. He could see the disdain in other girls'' eyes as they looked at Chu Li.


    " So, Aside from Chu Li, everyone thinks that their cultivation aptitude is good, hm?" Long Ming looked at them with a smile.


    " Then, Let''s have a small test."


    Long Ming''s spiritual qi swirled as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened. " Please withstand under my spiritual pressure for twenty seconds."


    *BOOM*


    Suddenly, all the Outer Disciples felt a strange suffocation as Long Ming''s spiritual qi was like a mountain weighing on their souls. All of them clutched their heads, the suffocation and the pain from their soul driving them insane.


    *PLOP PLOP PLOP*


    Almost half of them got on their knees as they couldn''t withstand Long Ming''s spiritual qi. The moment they fell down, the spiritual pressure vanished.


    When twenty seconds of time ended, Long Ming saw barely ? of the original amount was standing.


    " Huh? I thought other than Chu Li, everyone''s talent was great." Long Mingughed. " If you don''t address your own weakness, how am I going to help you to ovee it?"


    " Since you guys think you are talented, I have nothing much to say."


    Then, he turned and looked at Chu Li. " As for you, I will personally teach you. Alright?"


    " Huh? Me?"


    Chu Li was stunned when she heard Long Ming. She never thought Long Ming would make such a strange decision.


    " Alright, I will say two things." Long Ming looked at them as his eyes turned serious. " Either, Be honest and follow my words. Else, Don''t attend my lectures. I won''t mind if you choose the second option."


    " Other than that, I am opening the Crafting Hall again. I will be also teaching you the art of crafting treasure clothes."


    " If you guys are interested, You can join me." Long Ming looked at them.


    This time, no one dared to make any fuss as they nodded obediently.


    " Alright, So today¡­ We will talk about the Pce Foundation of Violet Pce Expansion Realm."

 Chapter 109 Great Lecture

    <h4>Chapter 109 Great Lecture</h4>


    After Long Ming''s little demonstration, all the Outer Sect Disciples became submissive. All of them are in Qi Condensation and Violet Pce Expansion Realm.


    Therefore, It was far easy for Long Ming to guide them and help them to break through.


    " First, I will talk about the Four Seasons Minor Art. As the Outer Disciple, This is the first cultivation manual you are given. You can say this is the foundation technique before you move to the advanced cultivation manual."


    " However, Many of you neglected this technique from the start and trying your best to get the upper level techniques early." Long Ming looked at them as he began his exnation.


    " Although I know that it''s better to practice with a high level technique before hand, but that''s only fruitful if your cultivation aptitude andprehension are high enough."


    " Otherwise, you will stumble and be unable to break through. At that point, disciples with low level technique will have a faster cultivation rate than you with a higher level cultivation technique."


    " So, My opinion and advice will be, do not neglect the Four Seasons Minor Technique." Long Ming spoke.


    " However, Many of you might need some more¡­Solid reasons to ept my advice, right?" Long Ming grinned. " Today, I will give you an example of improving your pce foundation with just this technique."


    " What?!"


    " Are you telling the truth?"


    Long Ming nodded. " As you know, There are technically two stages in Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Pce Foundation and Celestial Pir are two importantyers of Violet Pce Expansion Realm."


    " If you think Four Seasons Minor Art is a simple Mystic grade Technique, then you are mistaken." Long Ming waved his hands as a four colored qi spurt out from his fingertips.


    " If you use the cirction like this¡­ Your pce foundation will be firm as a mountain and polished as a pearl. Not to mention, your physique will adapt itself to ept the cultivation technique of any Seasons Hall when you break through."


    " Not to mention, after perfecting the pce foundation, you will naturally feel an inclination toward certain elements. Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring, you will feel a certain attraction toward one of these four energies. After that, you can create more than three Celestial Pirs before forming a True Core."


    The Four Seasons Minor art is a weaker version of Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art. Using the Four Seasons Minor Art as a cultivation technique in Violet Pce Expansion Realm, a person can easily practice techniques of any four branches of Four Seasons Valley.


    After that, Long Ming spent a good time exining the interchanging energy of the Four Seasons Minor Art. How a warm qi slowly changed into a cold qi, then returned to a warm qi, Long Ming exined the cycle thoroughly.


    The girls were stunned when they heard Long Ming''s exnation.


    " Alright, That''s it for today. You should go and reflect on my words." Long Ming nodded as he looked at them.


    " Huh? Why are you so silent?"


    The disciples woke from their daze as they looked at Long Ming.


    " The lecture ended?"


    " Senior Brother, Isn''t that too early?"


    Long Ming almost stumbled when he heard that. " What do you mean early? It''s already four hours, My junior sisters."


    " What? Four hours?"


    " Impossible! It must be an hour at most."


    The disciples were shocked when they realized how much they were engrossed with Long Ming''s lecture. His exnation was so smooth and easy to understand that they forgot the flow of time.


    " I thought it was going to be a boring lecture."


    " Yeah, I even brought some snacks with me. But I forgot to eat."


    " Senior Brother''s exnations are so easy and perfect!"


    Long Ming''s brows creased when he heard that. Brought snacks? For what? This is a lecture or a show?


    But seeing the flooding AP, Long Ming understood that his Junior Disciples loved the lecture.


    '' Damn, I already amassed 200,000 AP. I should be able to buy some good shit in the system shop.'' Long Ming pondered.


    " Alright, Since the lecture is over, I want you all to incorporate it into your cultivation. And since I came to Outer Sect for the first time, I should buy you some gifts."


    Long Ming saw there was a medicine called Golden Energy Pills that was selling 1000 AP per bottle. But its color was faded, implying it wouldn''t be very effective for Long Ming.


    But that doesn''t mean it wouldn''t be effective for these Outer Sect Disciples. So he bought like twenty bottles of them.


    Not to mention, He also had some Spirit Energy Pills around thirty bottles. They were less effective than the Golden Energy Pills, but it was still good nheless.


    " And, this is called Constitution Evolving Pill, hmm? There are ten pills that I got from thest spin, I guess. Other than three, I am giving away seven pills."


    It wasn''t like Long Ming didn''t try that. However, he realized his physique reached such a stage that such a pill of low White Silver grade wouldn''t work for him.


    But for others, it might make their cultivation aptitude better. Who knows?


    There were more that fifty Outer Sect disciples before Long Ming. Using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could mildly guess the talent of everyone. The ones with better talent got the Golden Energy Pills while those with average talent got the Spirit Energy Pill.


    Long Ming handed three Constitution Evolving Pills to the one with the highest talent and two pills to those with the worst talent. He wanted to see their growth and calcte it.


    And the remaining two were given to Chu Li.


    " But Senior Brother, I already told you that my talent isn''t good." Chu Li was stunned when Long Ming handed him some other bottles of medicinal pills and Constitution Evolving Pills.


    " You shouldn''t waste such precious medicines on me."


    " Chu Li, As your Senior Brother, I can''t just help the talented disciples and ignore those with poor aptitude, right?" Long Ming smiled. "Besides, I can see that you have a great talent. It''s just that it''s still in a budding state."


    " Senior Brother, You really think that?" Chu Li''s eyes turned bright as she looked at Long Ming with a hopeful face. Long Ming nodded as he condensed a ball of Fragrant Yin Qi.


    " You know that there is a mass of dense Yin qi inside you, Right? When you want to cultivate, Try refining my Fragrant Yin Qi to stimte it. It would be better if you do it while eating the Constitution Evolving Pills."


    Long Ming condensed the Fragrant Yin Qi into a purple orb of light and sealed it with his spiritual qi. When Chu Li held it, she felt a burst of fragrance throughout her body, as it aroused various thoughts in her head.


    Shaking her head, she blushed when she looked at Long Ming. " Um, Thank you, Senior Brother. I won''t forget your generosity. If you wish me to do something¡­ I will do it immediately."


    Long Ming''s expression turned odd when he saw the change of expression of Chu Li. She acted a bit timid before, but now Chu Li is acting¡­flirtacious?


    " Alright, Everyone. I wille back here tomorrow, The time will be the same." Long Ming''s voice echoed.


    " As I said, You guys cane if you want. If you don''te, I won''t say anything."


    The girls'' eyes filled with passion and eagerness when they heard Long Ming. " Don''t worry, Senior Brother!"


    " We will definitelye before the time."


    " Yeah, We will even drag those who are not willing toe."


    Letting go of such an opportunity, only fools will do that.


    Let alone Long Ming''s lecture, girls will swarm around him just to see his looks. Who would let go of the chance be close to their dream man?


    " Then, I shall be taking my leave." Long Ming nodded as he smiled at Chu Li.


    " Such a cute, timid girl." Long Ming muttered with a smiling face.


    '' What if she wears a naked apron and gives me a blowjob?''


    Long Ming paused when a thought like that popped into his mind. He hurriedly shook his head when he saw the innocent face of Chu Li before flying away hastily.


    '' Fuck, What the hell with such intrusive thoughts?''


    Long Ming shuddered. But it wasn''t something could drive out of his mind anytime soon.


    Chu Li looked at the orb of purple light as her gaze became dreamy.


    " Senior Brother is so handsome. Even the thing he gave me¡­ It feels so¡­attractive and ¡­arousing."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Is that really the Four Seasons Minor Art we knew?"


    An elder shuddered when he looked at the light screen before him.


    " I always knew that the Four Seasons Minor Art was derived from a great technique. But I always found it underwhelming. But to think there is such profundity hidden among those simple texts."


    " Genius! Long Ming is undoubtedly a genius."


    The hall became full of praise toward Long Ming as Wu Liang, the Grand Elder nodded.


    " Indeed. Even for old me, this is truly a delight. I never thought Long Ming''sprehensive ability would be this terrifying. Perhaps he really got the blessings of our ancestors."


    Then she looked at Xia Yuqing, " Sect Master Xia, Why don''t you transfer him under me? I might pass my core technique to him."


    Xia Yuqing gave a light chuckle. " That was a good joke, Grand Elder. But I already dered him as a True Disciple under me. I can''t change it now."


    " Not to mention, I am not willing to even if I could." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " But Sect Master, Where did Long Ming get so many medicines? Should it not be better if he had given those to Inner Sect disciples?"


    Xia Yuqling waved her hands and closed the curtain of light.


    " Since he is a True Disciple, he knows what this position means. Let''s see what he wants to do."


    After returning to his courtyard, Long Ming guided Xiao''er in her cultivation.


    Then, after that, he guided her about bed techniquester in the night.


    Long Ming feltzy as he didn''t want to cultivate the next day. So, he slept on his bed and enjoyed the warmth of Xiao''er''s body.


    But then.


    " Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"


    " Something big happened!"

 Chapter 110 Helping Chu Li

    <h4>Chapter 110 Helping Chu Li</h4>


    Long Ming yawned as he wrapped a towel around his waist and opened the door.


    " Senior Brother¡­"


    Chen Yin suddenly paused as she looked at Long Ming''s figure. Her eyes widened as she smacked her lips.


    " Oi, What are you looking at?"


    Long Mingughed as he gave a light bonk to Chen Yin''s head.


    " Ah!"


    Chen Yin returned to her senses as her face flushed. " I am sorry, Senior Brother. But it''s really big news."


    " Chu Li, that girl showed signs of a special physique."


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. Although he thought Chu Li might able to awaken her hidden physique, it was way too fast.


    " Mm, Young Master. Did something happen?"


    Chen Yin''s eyes turned wide when she saw Xiao''er walking inside with a bedsheet wrapped around her body.


    Long Ming coughed when he heard that. " Xiao''er, I am going out for a bit. Can you make some breakfast?"


    " Yes, Young Master. It shall be done when youe back."


    Long Ming hurriedly wore a robe before going with Chen Yin.


    " Senior Brother, She is¡­"


    " Xiao''er, She is my maid." Long Ming spoke. " She just became an Inner Sect Disciple."


    " Ah, She already reached True Core Formation Realm?" Chen Yin was surprised. " So, There are some benefits of being your maid, huh?"


    Long Ming chuckled. " She is dual cultivating with me every night. Do you want to partake in a session?"


    Chen Yin''s face turned red when she heard that. " I¡­ I mean¡­ Uh¡­"


    Long Ming grinned when he saw how Chen Yin didn''t reject his proposal outright.


    '' It''s really good to have a face like mine, huh?'' Long Ming chuckled inwardly as he soon reached the Outer Sect area.


    Long Ming and Chen Yin walked into the courtyard of girls as he saw a ce filled with a crowd. Suddenly, he felt a chill in the air, as the room temperature dropped several degrees.


    Long Ming felt a ripple of cool waves, like his body got hit by a burst of fresh, cool water. He parted the crowd and saw Chu Li lying on the bed.


    A blue colored energy swirled around her as her expression contorted slightly.


    " She was cultivatingst night. But then, we felt a burst of energy from her as she was covered with a blue aura of light. We felt a bursting wave of a cold energy. And we informed the elder."


    Long Ming heard the girl who was the roommate of Chu Li. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as he looked at Chu Li.


    He could see the shape of blue colored carp trapped inside her body. It gave off a feeling of Yin energy. However, unlike the coldness of winter, it gave off a vibrant feeling of a river filled with rippling water.


    " This is a Water attribute Physique. It looks like a Noble grade physique." Long Ming spoke.


    " What? A Noble grade physique?"


    " My god! Doesn''t that mean Chu Li going to soar now?"


    Chen Yin looked at Chu Li as she grew concerned. " However,? She has been like this. Why isn''t she waking up?"


    Long Ming shook his head. " She is awake. She can hear us. However, her physique was only half awakened. And it currently sealed her body. We need to release it, so she can fully manifest her physique."


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s ears twitched as he received an instruction from Xia Yuqing. He held Chu Li and picked her up.


    " Alright, We need to take her to the Medicinal Hall now. Sect Master ad other elders will see her."


    Others couldn''t go near Chu Li due to the slippery yet robust blue aura. But when Long Ming held her, he felt his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique absorbed the overflowing aura, making Long Ming able to carry Chu Li.


    '' Hmm, I wonder if I can devour the physique of Chu Li?'' Long Ming thought as he shook his head. '' No, It might affect her cultivation and life. How can I do that?''


    ''Besides, Should I not go after Imperial Physiques or Ancient Heaven Grade Physiques rather than Noble and Royal grade ones?''


    Long Ming''s wings pped as he streaked to the medicinal hall. He saw Xia Yuqing and Wu Liang, with a few other elders.


    " My, It looks like a Water Attribute physique."


    " To think an Outer Disciple awakened a Noble Grade Physique?"


    " Hehe, It looks like our sect gained another good seedling."


    However, Xia Yuqing looked at Chu Li as she frowned lightly. " But her physique isn''tpletely activated yet. It was as if¡­It showed up due to some kind of stimtion. If we don''t resolve it, she might get crippled."


    " What do you think, Elder Liang?"


    " Indeed, Sect Master is right." An old woman spoke as she looked at Chu Li. " We should discuss what we should do to help her."


    " What about a Water Attribute technique?" Long Ming spoke. " We can give her a technique like that which will help her to control the energy of her physique. Besides, we can feel her the Water attribute medicinal pills, making her physique bloom."


    " Water attribute technique?" An elder spoke.


    " Sect Master, Isn''t there a technique of Empress Winter Song, The Soaring Water Moon Art?"


    " That technique is a Royal grade technique. How can we give it to an Outer Disciple?"


    " But she got a Noble grade Physique."


    Xia Yuqing spoke. " I believe giving her the Soaring Water Moon Art won''t be an issue. However, Since it''s a Royal grade technique, she won''t be able to master it instantly. How could it help her instantly?"


    " If someone else had cultivated it, they could help her."


    " But no one cultivated it from the past few decades."


    Long Ming looked at Xia Yuqing as he spoke. " How about this? You give pills to her first. Meanwhile, I will cultivate the Soaring Water Moon Art."


    " What? You want to cultivate it right now?"


    The other elders became baffled. " It''s a Royal grade technique. How fast can you master it?"


    " I just need to reach the Initial Perfection stage, right?" Long Ming asked. " That will be easy."


    " WHAT?"


    Nearly all the present elders became shocked when they heard Long Ming.


    Even most geniuses, They would need at least a month before they reach the Initial Completion stage. But Long Ming was talking like he could just reach while eating and sleeping.


    However, Xia Yuqing''s eyes sparkled as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Are you sure?"


    " Yes, Master."


    Xia Yuqing nodded as she looked at Elder Cai. " Elder Cai, bring her the technique to Long Ming. Meanwhile, Elder Liang, You should prepare some medicinal pills for Chu Li."


    " Don''t make them overbearing, but only with a mild Watter attribute energy. Otherwise, it will harm her instead."


    " Yes, Sect Master." Elder Liang nodded as she left.


    Soon, Elder Cai brought a scroll to Long Ming. Long Ming held it and walked to a secluded spot. There, he used his ''Skill Learn'' ability and learned the Soaring Water Moon Art.


    After digesting the content, Long Ming realized something.


    '' This¡­ This looks like a branch technique of Deste Winter Art. However, instead of using Yin qi to use ice energy, it gives life to the Water energy. After all, the source of ice is water."


    Long Ming''sprehension deconstructed the technique as fast it could as he learned the basic cirction instantly.


    Since there was no restriction on his body he could practice any technique he wished now. So, it didn''t take time before he circted the technique inside his body.


    Strange enough, a part of blue Qi which his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique that devoured from Chu Li''s body started to circte. The energy of water increased his body as a vortex of True qi appeared around him.


    The true qi made the blue qi more and more robust as Long Ming could feel its amount almost increased by ten times.


    Suddenly, His eyes opened as a blue colored ball of water appeared on his m. The blue colored water faded, making it a crystal clear orb of water.


    " WHAT?"


    " WHAT THE FUCK?"


    " IT''S ONLY BEEN ONE HOUR!"


    Even Xia Yuqing''s eyelid twitched violently when she saw that. Long Ming only grinned when he saw their expression.


    " Well, It''s because I suddenly had an enlightenment and found a shortcut to cultivate it. So, I reached the Initialpletion stage of Soaring Water Moon Art."


    " Alright, We can discuss itter. Helping Chu Li is our priority." Wu Liang spoke.


    Long Ming nodded as he used the Soaring Water Moon Art and channeled a wave of water qi inside her body.


    The blue carped was suppressed by Long Ming''sher dragon as it obediently followed the path of Long Ming''s energy cirction. Long Ming realized that hisher dragon made the work easier.


    The more the carp swallowed Long Ming''s energy, the more vivid it became.


    It didn''t take long before it jumped out from Chu Li''s body as it soared into the air. After revolving around Chu Li, it jumped back,pletely merging with her body.


    Chu Li''s eyes opened as she looked at everyone.

 Chapter 111 Ulterior Motives

    <h4>Chapter 111 Ulterior Motives</h4>


    " Un¡­ Where? Where am I?"


    Chu Li mumbled as her eyespletely opened. She looked at her surroundings and saw the group of elders along with Xia Yuqing.


    " Sec-Sect Master!"


    She tried to get up hurriedly, but Long Ming held her.


    " You are still recovering. Calm down first."


    " Ah! Senior Brother Long¡­"


    Chu Li looked at LongMing as she nodded. " I¡­ I ate the pills you gave mest night, along with that purple mass of qi. The orb in my dantian reacted to it and exploded. After that, I saw a blue carp jumping inside my divine sea as it tried to break free. However, it couldn''t¡­"


    " It''s alright." Xia Yuqing spoke. " You are fine now. Your physique ispletely awakened. You can be rest assured now."


    " I... My physique really awakened? So, I have a Noble-grade physique now?" Chu Li was startled. " What kind of physique it is?"


    Xia Yuqing looked at Chu Li as she spoke. " There are numerous Noble grade Physique''s across the world. However, there are only 330 Royal Grae physiques and 33 Imperial Physiques listed."


    " The names of the physique might be deferent, but all of them connected as branches to these listed physiques."


    " Since you have a Water attribute Noble grade physique, you have a chance to transform it into a Royal or imperial grade physique of the same attribute. However, for that, you will need a corresponding technique."


    Long Ming also heard Xia Yuqing''s exnation as he nodded. " If that''s the case, how about we name it River Carp Physique?"


    " River Carp Physique? It sounds good." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " But, What kind of technique she will cultivate in the future?" Wu Liang spoke. " After all, I don''t think the Winter branch technique will be suitable for her."


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. " Grand Elder, If you permit, How about I teach Chu Li? After all, I got a thorough enlightenment in the Soaring Water Moon Art. It will be a good technique for Chu Li, no?"


    " You are going to teach her?"


    Everyone became startled when they heard Long Ming''s proposal. However, when they remembered Long Ming reaching the Initial Completion stage in one hour, they couldn''t oppose his reasoning.


    Maybe, It would be better if Long Ming taught Chu Li.


    Xia Yuqing looked at Chu Li as she spoke. " What do you think, Chu Li? Are you willing to study under your Senior Brother?"


    Chu Li was shocked as she hurriedly cupped her fist. " How could I let go of such a chance? I am willing, Sect Master."


    " Then, You can get admitted to Solitary Flower Peak." Xia Yuqing replied.


    " Sect Master, I have refined the pills. I brought them here¡­"


    Elder Liang came hurriedly as she held a jade bottle. But she was stunned when she saw the scene.


    " Huh? This girl woke up?" Elder Liang was shocked when she saw Chu Li. She couldn''t believe Chu Li would wake up this fast, even without eating any pills.


    " Haha, Elder Liang, It looks like you arete." An elderughed when Elder Liang''s expression turned stiff.


    " Long Ming used his technique and awakened the physique inside Chu Li. By the time you finished refining the pill, she is already awake."


    " How¡­ How is that possible?"


    Long Ming only smiled when he saw Elder Liang. But his smile stiffened when a notification popped out.


    [ Ding! Elder Liang''s favorability toward you decreased by 20 points!]


    '' Wh-What?''


    Long Ming almost got choked when he saw that.


    " Haha, Good, I guess Long Ming is quite a talent, huh?" Elder Liang looked at Long Ming. " It took me some time to refine the pills. But, I guess it''s unnecessary now."


    '' Is she angry because she made pills yet unable to help Chu Li?'' Long Ming''s suspicion grew when he saw the smiling face of Elder Liang.


    She couldn''t be THAT petty, right?


    " No, Elder Liang. Why would we waste the pills?" Long Ming cleared his throat before he spoke. " After all, Even now she can use the pill and improve her River Carp Physique."


    " Indeed, Long Ming is right. Elder Liang, You didn''t waste any time at all." Wu Liang spoke.


    Elder Liang''s face was still brimming with a smile when she heard that. " Alright, That''s also true. Here, Chu Li, take this as a gift."


    Chu Li held the medicinal bottles as she bowed. " Thank you, Elder Liang. You are generous."


    Xia Yuqing nodded. "Besides that, Give three bottles of True Core Pill and a bottle of Spirit Rejuvenation pill to Chu Li."


    " Yes, Sect Master."


    Elder Liang nodded as she bowed. However, Long Ming''s gaze didn''t falter as he kept looking at Elder Liang.


    " Alright, Since everything is over, you all can return." Xia Yuqing turned around and vanished. The other elders also took leave.


    Long Ming looked at Chu Li and smiled. " Chu Li, Come with me. We are going to my Solitary Flower Peak."


    " Yes, Senior Brother," Chu Li bowed as she nodded. " I am also thankful to you, Senior Brother. You helped me so much. Without you, I might have not been able to awaken my physique."


    " Haha, No worries. After all, You are going to study under me now." Long Ming smiled as he looked at the bottle of pills in her hand.


    " Chu Li, can you give me the medicinal bottle that Elder Liang gave you?"


    " Here, Senior Brother."


    Long Ming opened the bottle as a rich medicinal aroma drifted out. Long Ming could feel that the pill was recently concocted. It was dense with water elemental qi.


    But that''s the point that made Long Ming even more suspicious.


    Elder Liang was the Hall master of Medicinal Hall, so Long Ming expected her to be wise in medicinal arts. In Chu Li''s previous condition, what she needed was medicinal pills with a limited amount of water elemental energy as she was in a trance-like state.


    However, Elder Liang produced pills that werepletely rich with Water elemental energy. Like, it was a bit too dense for being used by a patient.


    '' It''s impossible for Elder Liang to do that out of mistake. After all, even Grand Elder instructed her that. But¡­ How could she do this? Unless¡­ It''s intentional?''


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes turned cold when he realized that the Four Seasons Valley might not be as peaceful as it looked.


    '' Fuck this shit. Can''t you give me some tranquility? Fucking viins everywhere.'' Long Ming grumbled inwardly. He felt there might be some hidden undercurrents inside the Four Seasons Valley.


    " What happened, Senior Brother? Is there any problem with the pills?"? Chu Li asked Long Ming.


    " Not really. You can take it back." Long Ming smiled at her and handed her the medicine. " Chen Yin, take her to the Inner Sect and give her some basic instructions."


    " As you say, Brother Long." Chen Yin nodded as she looked at Long Ming. But, she paused and looked at Long Ming.


    " Actually¡­ Senior Brother¡­ Me and Lin Xie feeling some confusion regarding our techniques. Can you help us to resolve them?"


    Long Ming looked at Chen Yin''s expression as a realization struck his head.? " Ah¡­ I see. Don''t worry, Chen Yin. You and Lin Xie cane to my courtyard this evening. I will help you."


    " Hehe, Thank you, Brother Long." Chen Yin became ecstatic when she heard Long Ming.


    When Long Ming returned, he sat in his courtyard as he fell into thought. He decided to practice some new techniques as he looked at his spatial bracelet and took out two things.


    The technique was called Rushing Lightning Steps. It utilizes the lightning energy and increases one''s agility.


    Lightning is one of the fastest and most destructive elements. Using this movement technique, one can easily outmatch their opponent''s abilities.


    Long Ming pondered for a moment and he learned the technique. His golden core hummed as a cloud of lightning covered it. Long Ming felt a rush of lightning qi inside his body as his body felt energized.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The lightning qi flowed in his legs as Long Ming disappeared from his position. He blinked across the entire courtyard with extreme speed like a zap of lightning. After that, he jumped and rushed out from his Solitary Flower Peak.


    It was at least a path of ten kilometers. But Long Ming managed to reach the entrance bin in just a few breaths of time.


    '' Haah! Haah! This¡­This is amazing!'' Long Ming panted as he looked at his surroundings.


    With his Spatial Light Body, he can indeed teleport. However, it is only limited to a small radius. However,? Rushing Lightning Steps are different. It can be considered a powerful movement technique.


    It''s a Noble grade technique. But when cultivated to the peak, it can rival a Royal grade technique.


    When Long Ming looked at his feet, he realized the power of his steps and even charred the grass with crackling lightning. So, if he kicks someone in extreme speed, won''t it turn into a lethal attack?


    Long Ming grinned, satisfied with the result as he returned to his Solitary Flower Peak.


    But then, he saw Luo Yinying already arrived there.


    " Senior Brother Long, You have been neglecting the rune inscription practicing." Luo Yingying spoke.


    " Now, you must apany me in making new talismans and formations."

 Chapter 112 Teaching In Crafting Hall! Reward of Luo Yingying

    <h4>Chapter 112 Teaching In Crafting Hall! Reward of Luo Yingying</h4>


    Long Ming looked at Luo Yingying as he couldn''t help but give a smile. " Sister Luo, Must we do today?"


    " Of course." Luo Yingying sat on a stone and looked at Long Ming. " Sister Mu and Sister Ming took a group of disciples and overseeing the outside sect missions. So, I can onlye to you."


    "Besides, I should check on you. Recently, I made a breakthrough and I can make peak Xuan grade talismans. It won''t be long before I can finally make Earth grade talismans."


    Long Ming gave a nod when he heard that. " Well, I have a better proposal for you, Sister Luo. Why don''t youe with me?"


    " Come with you, where?"


    " I reopened the Crafting Hall and decided to ept some disciples who can craft treasure clothes." Long Ming looked at her and exined.


    " As you know, there are three major steps while crafting a treasure cloth. First, Refine the materials. Second, crafting the dress, and third, inscribing the runes."


    " I am thinking of splitting the work between Outer Sect and Inner Sect disciples. Outer Sect disciples can easily do the first step and with effort, they might able to even do the second step."


    " However, rune inscription requires experience and a tremendous spiritual qi, which can be only achieved at True Core Formation Realm. So, the second and final step will belong to Inner Sect disciple."


    Luo Yingying was startled when she heard that. " So, You want to create a system and distribute the work like that? Hmm, if it''s done in this way, there will be twice of result in half of the effort."


    Long Ming nodded, " Indeed. And for that, Why don''t youe with me to the Crafting Hall? You and I and easily give some good advice about the rune inscription."


    " Since that''s the case, Why not?" Luo Yingying grinned and followed Long Ming.


    When they reached the Crafting Hall, there were already over twenty disciples, from both the Inner and Outer Sect. It was obvious that not everyone would think Crafting Hall would be worthwhile like learning alchemy or rune inscription.


    " Alright, Everyone, I am going to teach the basic theory about crafting clothes." Long Ming looked at them as he started off his lecture.


    He exined the various types of materials, their effects, and usages. The difference between using natural metals and demon beast materials or the arm of mending two materials together or slicing them, Long Ming exined them thoroughly.


    " Just like Forging Treasures, You are going to use spirit me to refine and fuse materials together. However, you need to remember the golden rule: Hard as metal and soft as threads."


    " After that, use the True Qi and channel it, and use the material to craft the basic cloth. You can fuse it or slice it, like a tailor using a needle and scissors."


    " You must be rxed and free minded when you''re doing this. Because it also reflects your creativity and lessens the error. You should always strive to take new and unknown paths."


    " And after that, Rune inscriptiones. And, This is the most important job for Inner Disciples."


    " Now, I am going to teach you about some simple rune diagrams that every treasure clothes must have at a minimum."


    Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush and scrubbed on his Five Elemental Inkstone.


    The multi colored ink spread on the air as Long Ming drew a beautiful rune. His strokes were agile, yet full of elegance. The runes are interconnected, forming an array of runic chains.


    " The first thing every woman wishes is privacy. There are various types of eye technique and art of divine sense that can peer through anything."


    "Therefore, One of the most essential enchantments on a treasured cloth is Anti Tracking rune." Long Ming spoke.


    Luo Yingying''s eyes sparkled when she heard that. " Indeed, As you know, Anti Tracking rune takes more spiritual qi than ordinary runic diagrams while being inscribed."


    " However, in return, it blocked the divine sense of other people, making them unable to peep under someone''s clothes. The moreplex the Anti Tracking rune will be, the harder it would be for others to see through them."


    Then, Luo Yingying borated on the art of inscribing the Anti Tracking rune. Long Ming had to admit that she was truly a rare gem in the field of rune inscription.


    Her exnations were vivid, making the disciples understand the essence of rune inscription.


    After Luo Yingying finished her exnation, Long Ming observed her anti-tracking rune.


    " However, Senior Brother, The Anti Tracking rune is also taking too much spiritual qi. Not to mention, there is always a high chance of failure. At this rate, we might not be able to produce not more than five perfect rune inscriptions a day."


    Long Ming looked at them as he pondered. Indeed, not everyone has a robust spiritual qi or Heavenly Revtion Eye or Spirit Eyes like Long Ming or Luo Yingying. Even Inner Sect disciples might face countless errors before they could inscribe the Anti Tracking Rune in one go without messing it up.


    " Well, For that, I will give you a cheat!" Long Ming stood beside Luo Yingying as he winked.


    After all, there is always a cheat in this world. It''s just that one needs the eyes and brain to discover it.


    Long Ming deconstructed the rune diagram before their eyes and altered some of the runes.


    " As you can see, If you go through this way, it will turn theplex rune into several separate and easier runes. Sure, It will increase the time of inscription, but it will decrease the chances of error."


    " So, I would rmend you to inscribe the runes on paper first and after mastering it, you can make it on treasured clothes."


    " After Anti Tracking Rune, I will give you some insight into the Light Weight Rune Diagram, which helps the wearer to lessen their weight and increase their speed indirectly."


    As hours passed, Luo Yingying and Long Ming gave their best to exin to the disciples the art of crafting the treasured clothes.


    After five hours, Long Ming and Luo Yingying paused as they concluded the ss.


    " So, If you have any doubts, You can easily ask me. I will be in the Crafting Hall during the daytime, So learn as much as you want."


    " Thank you, Senior Brother Long and Senior Sister Luo."


    Luo Yingying looked at them and spoke. " The art of crafting treasure clothes will also help you to improve your rune inscription technique. Even if you can''t craft treasure clothes, you might be able to manufacture better quality talismans."


    " So, Don''tze around and start your job from right now."


    " Yes! Senior Sister."


    After everyone left, Long Ming and Luo Yingying stayed in the Crafting Hall.


    " You really got some novel ideas, Brother Long. I never thought you would be able to break down the Anti Tracking Rune like that." Luo Yingying spoke.


    " Currently, We need mass production of treasured clothes and other resources. After all, Without getting recognition from the masses and getting back the former glory of Four Seasons Valley, the sect will die sooner orter." Long Ming spoke.


    " After all, We don''t want to make the Eternal Spring Tower the only specialty of Four Seasons Valley, right?"


    Luo Yingying nodded. " Indeed, Senior Brother is right. Now, Since the sses are over, why don''t we discuss some advanced runes a bit?"


    " What? Aren''t you feeling tired?" Long Ming''s expression stiffened when he heard Luo Yingying.


    " Hehe, Come on, Senior Brother Long. I am really invested in this Space Escaping Talisman, If you help me¡­ I will¡­ Hmm, what should I give you in return?"


    Long Ming looked at Luo Yingying as a strange grin appeared on his face. " Well, Then let me help you. After we finish, I will naturally ask you something that you can give me easily."


    " Huh? Why do I feel you trying to trick me, Senior Brother?" Luo Yingying blinked as she looked at Long Mingt. " If you dared to try anything¡­ I will tell Senior Sister Mu."


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Yingying. I won''t do anything bad at all¡­ Yeah, nothing bad."


    Luo Yingying unfurled a scroll as various runic diagrams appeared before Long Ming''s eyes. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could immediately deduce the nature of the runic diagram along with its fault.


    As they discussed, Long Ming looked at Luo Yingying and remembered something.


    " Sister Luo, What do you think about Elder Liang of Medicinal Hall?"


    " Hmm? Why do you suddenly ask of her?" Luo Yingying was surprised. '' Hmm, What do you mean by what I think? She is a respectable Grand Master Alchemist after all. She has been staying in this sect for over sixty years."


    Every profession is graded into various grades. Apprentice, Master, Grand Master, King, Emperor and Sage.


    Grandmaster Alchemists are respectable anywhere they go. After all, Their pill could even help a dying Harmonization Realm cultivator back to their prime with a single pill.


    " I understand, Sister Luo. I am just asking if you feel something amiss. Like, Perhaps¡­ something that looks ordinary but, makes the sect''s progression slow down?"


    " Hmm, I wonder." Luo Yinying spoke. " Since you asked me, I will keep an eye on it, Senior Brother Long. For now let''s focus on this, ok?"


    Long Ming sighed when he heard that. '' I think I need to ask An Luan to keep an eye on Medicinal Hall and Elder Liang. Those unfavorability points¡­ I don''t think they are just out of spite.''


    " Whoa?! Brother Long, You are a genius! You really broke down the intricate spatial rune!" Luo Yingying''s eyes brightened when Long Ming solved the rune diagram on the scroll.


    " Ahem, So, Brother Long, What kind of reward do you wish?"


    " Hehe¡­"

 Chapter 113 Long Ming’s Suspicions

    <h4>Chapter 113 Long Ming''s Suspicions</h4>


    Luo Yingying suddenly felt a shudder when she saw Long Ming''s gaze. She suddenly regretted that she let Long Ming chose the reward.


    " Hehe, Sister Luo, You remember? When you barged into Senior Sister Mu''s courtyard and saw me naked?"


    Luo Yingying''s face turned red when Long Ming spoke of that incident. Even now, When Luo Yingying remembers Long Ming standing naked with a ck snake between his legs, she would feel her body turning hot.


    " Yo-You! Why are you suddenly talking about that incident?" Luo Yingying spat.


    " What? Since you invaded my privacy, should you not pay back?" Long Ming grinned.


    " Don''t worry, Sister Luo, Don''t think that I will ask you to strip naked. Haha, How can I do that?" Long Ming spoke as he rubbed his palm. " However, I will ask you one question and you need to answer it, alright?"


    " Fine, Ask whatever you want." Luo Yingying was a bit relieved when she heard Long Ming.


    " Well, The question is¡­" Long Ming''s expression turned serious as he looked at Luo Yingying.


    " What color underwear you are wearing today?"


    " ¡­. "


    Luo Yingying was stunned when she heard Long Ming''s question. Slowly, her face turned red as she looked at Long Ming.


    " BROTHER LONG!!!"


    " Whaaat?" Long Ming shrugged when he saw Luo Yingying stomping her feet. " It was just a simple question though. I didn''t ask you to do anything inappropriate."


    " Yo-You¡­Why do you want to learn the color of my underwear?"


    " Curiosity?" Long Ming replied without thinking. "Besides, I just want to tease you. So, hurry up and tell me."


    Luo Yingying was baffled when Long Ming admitted that he was teasing her deliberately.


    " What? Didn''t you said you wil reward me?" Long Ming shrugged. " What happened, huh? I guess Miss Luo just know how to take advantage of me."


    " Ugghhh¡­. Fine." Luo Yingying gritted her teeth as she looked at Long Ming. After looking everywhere and confirming nobody is around, She looked at Long Ming, " It''s red¡­"


    " What?"


    " I said it''s red!"


    Luo Yingying shouted. But Long Ming''s expression became yful when he heard that. " Is that so?"


    " Are you happy now?" Luo Yingying snorted as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming shrugged.


    " Well? What can I say? I thought you would be honest but¡­ Nevermind." Long Ming turned around and started to leave. While passing by Luo Yingying, his lips neared her ear as Long Ming gave an evil chuckle.


    " Well, White is a pretty cute color, you know?"


    Luo Yingting froze when she heard Long Ming''s whisper. She turned around and looked at Long Ming. But Long Ming long vanished from her sight.


    " My¡­My concealment neckless was given by the Sect Master herself. Not even a Harmonization Realm Cultivator can peer through my aura. Bu-But how he manage to do it?"


    " How¡­How did he know I am wearing while?"


    A crimson shade covered Luo Yingying''s cheeks as she shouted.


    " AAHHHHH! BROTHER LONG MING!"


    " Haha!"


    Long Mingughed as was flying through the sect. He really loved to tease Luo Yingying like that. Closing his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming pondered as he returned to his peak.


    '' Medicinal Hall and Elder Liang is definitely fishy. I need to get more information.'' Long Ming rubbed his chin as his eyes lit up.


    " Wait! If it''s information¡­ I know where I can get it!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    As the sun already set in the western horizon, the Grand Sky City market lit up with variousmps andnterns. As a giant ancient city, the nightlife was still bustling as the daytime.


    " Hehe, Beauty, Why don''t you spend some more time with me?"


    " Dear, Why didn''t youe yesterday? I was waiting for you the whole evening, you know?"


    " Hehe, Come., Serve another ss of wine."


    A faint smile appeared on Long Ming''s lips when he felt the familiar atmosphere.


    Suddenly, many girls before Long Ming froze as they looked at him.


    " Oh my!"


    " Young Master Long!"


    " Hurry up and tell madame! Young Master Long hase!"


    Many customers of Eternal Spring Tower became startled as they looked at Long Ming.


    " Huh? Who is he?"


    " You don''t know Young Master Long Ming? He was the one who made the Song of Summer and Winter wine!"


    " Not to mention, the new gambling pavilion and restaurant was also opened by him!"


    " Hehe, Are you forgetting the most important thing?" Another man grinned.


    " Those four famous banners. Who do you think painted them, huh?"


    " Ah! You mean Long Ming is that Long Ming?"


    " Haha!"


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard the gossip of people. Beautiful courteseans appeared before Long Ming in a row as they bowed, weing him into the Eternal Spring Tower.


    " Haha, How many times have I told you to not do that?" Long Ming waved his hand. But, he didn''t say he was unhappy.


    The beauties slowly escorted him to the VIP floor as Long Ming chose a terrace seat as he watched the night view of Grand Sky City.


    " Young Master, Lady Meng will soone to meet you. Meanwhile, Please enjoy your time." A servant girl bowed before Long Ming. " If you need anything, we will definitely do our best to do it."


    Long Ming chuckled as he threw a High grade spirit stone to her." Alright, Thats good. Bring me a te of fried chicken stripes and a bowl of spicy soup."


    The servant girl''s eyes turned wide when she saw the spirit stones. Bowing hurriedly, she thanked Long Ming. " Thank you for your gift, Young Master. Your food will be soon delivered."


    Since it was VIP area, there was none other than Long Ming and a few courtesean. However, soon, they also left as it was only Long Ming remaining.


    As he was enjoying the chicken stripes, her ears perked when he heard soft footsteps.


    " Oh my, Is Young Master Long enjoying the scenery?"


    Long Ming grinned when he heard that. " I wonder what should I enjoy, Sister Meng. Should I enjoy the night view of city or¡­ Your beauty?"


    " Oh, You are ttering me."


    Long Ming''s eyes darted on Meng Zhi''s body, who was wearing a sexy ck robe.


    '' A seductress is always a seductress.'' Long Ming mumbled when he saw Meng Zhi.


    She wore a tight ck robe, with a deep neckline, showing an ample amount of her cleavage. She didn''t wore any stockings, so her smooth legs peered out from the slits of her clothes.


    When she sat crossing her legs, it gave the onlooker the temptation to look at it, or¡­ Look at the hidden scenery they were protecting.


    " Sister Meng, Don''t tell me you took time just to wear this?"


    " Why not? Don''t you like this outfit?" Meng Zhi bit her lips as she looked at Long Ming. Taking a chicken stripe, she ate it.


    " Are you perhaps not feeling tempted? Little Brother, Are you not feeling your hidden desires stirring when you are looking at me?"


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt Meng Zhi''s body excluding some sort of hidden charm, like a beautiful flower blooming in night.


    There was no fragrance, but Long Ming felt a strange scent, making his soul attracted toward Meng Zhi. Numerous thoughts of him giving up into Meng Zhi''s arms appeared in his mind for a moment before his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed, and the illusions disappeared.


    Not to mention, his Chaotic Murder Heart also got triggered, making Long Ming''s mind calm as a pool without a single ripple.


    Meng Zhi didn''t saw any shift of expression of Long Ming, thanks to his Deste Immortal Aura. For her, he was sitting withposed mind from the beginning to the end.


    " Sister Meng, Must you use your charm techniques on me?" Long Ming gave a faint smile. " After all, I would rather prefer you charming me naturally."


    Meng Zhi clicked her tongue when she heard that." Well, I have to admit, Little Brother. You are really a tough nut to crack."


    Long Ming poured some Joy of Autumn and Spring in the jade cups as he looked at Meng Zhi. " Please."


    Meng Zhi took a sip of wine and closed her eyes. " Mm, I think this is the Joy of Autumn and Spring. Indeed, It''s something that corresponds to my technique, giving me the sensation of Spring."


    " So, What do you need this time, Little Brother?" Meng Zhi smiled lightly. " After all, I don''t think you woulde to Eternal Spring Tower just to have fun."


    " Haha, That doesn''t sound like apliment." Long Ming chuckled. " Anyway, Sister Meng, What do you think about Elder Liang of Medicinal Hall?"


    " Liang Yumei? What''s with her?" Meng Zhi''s eyes became surprised.


    " Do you feel Medicinal Hall or Elder Liang acting¡­Suspicioustely?"


    " Suspicious? My¡­ That''s some usation." Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " Hmm, Talking about Medicinal Hall, the only thing I can say that it''s productibility has been decreased as years passed and our sect is relying outside for medicinal pills more."


    " What? You mean, Medicinal Hall turned into a high investment, low return firm?" Long Ming''s eyes narrowed when he heard that.

 Chapter 114 Lu Yanyu’s Feelings

    <h4>Chapter 114 Lu Yanyu''s Feelings</h4>


    " Well, You know Medicinal Hall is technically a resources burning section. However, It''s also an essential part of any powerhouse." Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming and spoke.


    "In terms of consumption, the medicinal pill is first, followed up by talismans and charms. After all, whether it''s improving cultivation or stabilizing it, healing the injuries, or removing the toxins, the medicinal pills are something cultivators can''t stop having.


    Therefore, even if Medicinal Hall consumes tremendous manpower and resources, its value is much higher than you think.


    Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi as his eyes narrowed. " I believe in the glorious time of Four Seasons Valley, there was no shortage of pills. Why did the Medicinal Hall fall so much?"


    " Well, First of all, theck of talent." Meng Zhi spoke in a light voice. " As you know, people of Eastern Province already think that Four Seasons Valley is a dying horse."


    " The influx of new disciples has decreased in the past hundred years. I think if you see, there are only over a hundred outer disciples and more than fifty Inner Disciples inside the sect."


    " And most of these disciples are only focusing on improving their cultivation. Only a few of them were studying alchemy in the Medicinal Hall."


    " Therefore, Our sect could mass produce pills till Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Other than that, we are relying on other powers for pills in exchange for our medicinal herbs."


    Long Ming understood what Meng Zhi meant. After all, without enough manpower, If Elder Liang sat in front of the pill cauldron all day and refined pills, she might not be able to meet the needs of Four Seasons Valley.


    Four Seasons Valley also has its medicinal fields. However, without alchemists refining medicinal herbs, they can only use them to exchange for the pills.


    ''It looks like I have to visit the Medicinal Hall by myself. Let''s see if I can improve anything.''


    " So, Little Brother, that''s all?" Meng Zhi grinned. " I don''t know why you are suspicious of Elder Liang, However, I don''t think you could be swayed by any baseless rumor."


    " Don''t worry, Sister Meng." Long Ming shook his head. " Unless I find any concrete evidence, I won''t do anything reckless."


    " That''s good to hear, Little Brother" Meng Zhi smiled. " Ah¡­ I think I took too much time. Someone is really eager to see you."


    " Although I really wish to spend tonight with you, There is someone else who needs you more. Hehe, Since that''s the case, I shall go."


    " Huh? Sister Meng, Wait!"


    Loing Ming became confused when he heard that. However, he suddenly saw two servantdiesing toward him as they bowed, " Young Master if you have some time, Lady Lu wishes to meet you."


    " Lu Yanyu?" Long Ming nodded as he followed them.


    Lu Yanyu''s room was spacious, almost like a nobledy''s bedroom. It was neat and clean, with a faint fragrance of flowers and amber.


    " Miss Lu, I heard you wished to talk with me?" Long Ming chuckled as he took his seat. " Why are you sitting behind the curtain?"


    Long Ming could only see a shadow of Lu Yanyu''s body behind a thin curtain. He could see the outline of Lu Yanyu''s body, who was sitting beside her table and holding a zither.


    " Young Master, Why didn''t youe here after the Flower Boat Festival?"


    " Huh?"


    Long Ming was startled when he heard the question of Lu Yanyu.


    After the Flower Boat Festival, he officially joined the Four Seasons Valley and didn''t have much time toe to the Eternal Spring Tower.


    " Well, I am sorry, Miss Lu. I just got busy and running errands here and there." Long Ming spoke with an honest voice.


    " Young Master Long, Do you remember what I promised to you when the Flower Boat Festival began?"


    " Huh?"


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s pupils widened when he heard Lu Yanyu. His memory was pretty good when ites to remembering beauties. And, now he remembered, Lu Yanyu said she was going to do anything for him if she beat the Blissful Heaven Temple.


    Suddenly, the curtains lifted as Lu Yanyu''s figure was revealed before Long Ming. Long Ming took a sharp breath when he saw Lu Yanyu, who stood before him, holding a guqin.


    She wore a soft, lc colored silk dress. The dress was like several silk patches hung around her body, swaying in the wind and revealing Lu Yanyu''s fair skin beneath them.


    The silk skirt only hid a few inches below her waist, fluttering in the wind and tempting to show the spring scenery behind it. The bra was almost nonexistent, as Long Ming could see through the translucent silk cover, her dress barely left anything to imagine.


    Her veil was made with the finest silk, and Long Ming could see her beautiful lips behind it. Rather than hiding Lu Yanyu''s face, it added even more charm to her beauty.


    She took light steps as her body moved, her fingers crossed the strings of guqin. The melody was like the rippling water of a flowing river, it contained the emotions and feelings of Lu Yanyu.


    Lu Yanyu''s body swayed like a curtain of silk dancing in the wind of spring. Her waist swayed as the light golden chain around her skirt tinkled. Her body moved around around Long Ming as she tried to enrapture him.


    Long Ming felt a gentle breeze of the fragrance of flowers and wine as the room was covered with a faint mist. The mist seemed to highlight Lu Yanyu''s beauty, making her more charming and alluring.


    Lu Yanyu''s steps paused as she looked at Long Ming with her dreamy gaze. Her red lips moved, and her voice was no less than the tune she yed.


    " Young Master, How was that?"


    Long Ming looked at Lu Yanyu as he smiled. " You really put a lot of effort into this, didn''t you?"


    " Why not?" Lu Yanyu spoke with a light smile. " I need to do my best to please you after all."


    " Please me, hm¡­" A smile appeared on Long Ming''s lips as he looked at Lu Yanyu.


    " Then you seeded, Miss Lu. I am really pleased by your performance."


    Lu Yanyu''s eyes brightened when she heard that. She leaned forward and looked at Long Ming. " Thank you, Young Master Long. I am really happy that my meager performance pleased you."


    Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva when she saw Lu Yanyu leaning at him, her face was right before her lips and he could smell her body fragrance.


    " Ummm¡­Miss Lu¡­"


    " Call me Yanyu."


    " Uh¡­ So, Yanyu¡­ Why did you want to meet me?"


    "Haven''t you already guessed, Young Master?" Lu Yanyu''s lips parted as it turned into a seductive arc.


    " You didn''t return after Flower Boat Festival. I couldn''t reward you for your help. But now, Since we are here¡­ I should fulfill my promise."


    Suddenly, She grabbed Long Ming''s palm and pulled him toward her.


    " What is it, Young Master? Don''t you desire me? Am I not attractive enough?" Lu Yanyu''s voice sounded like aint.


    " Shall I wear those naked aprons? Or those cat girl ears and tail? You like those things, right?"


    Long Ming was speechless when he heard Lu Yanyu. " I¡­ I like them. But, I feel you are kinda forcing yourself¡­"


    " Who said I am forcing myself?!" Lu Yanyu spoke with a little anger and embarrassment." I mean, I was already prepared after the Flower Boat Festival. However, you went to those four instead ofing to my chambers."


    " I was too shy at that time. I thought I would ask you next time when you wille. However, you didn''te."


    " Why is it, Young Master? Don''t you like me?"


    Long Ming scratched his head when he heard that. " Well, It''s not that. I just¡­ I just felt it wouldn''t be right if I took advantage of you back then."


    " But what now? I am¡­ I am allowing it." Lu Yanyu bit her lips as her tone became low and shy.


    Long Ming looked at Lu Yanyu as his expression finally turned yful. After all, since someone delivered food right into his mouth, it would be rude to reject it.


    Lu Yanyu gasped when she felt Long Ming''s arms wrapped around her waist.


    " My, I am really sorry, Yanyu, for not epting your feelings earlier. I guess I need topensate you for that." Long Ming grinned, his gaze locked with the clear eyes of Lu Yanyu.


    Before Lu Yanyu could say anything, she felt her lips being sealed with Long Ming''s lips as he kissed her with utmost passion.


    " Mmmnnnn"


    Lu Yanyu created many ns in her mind. However, the moment Long Ming kissed her, she felt her body melting into Long Ming''s embrace.


    Not to mention, tasting Long Ming''s lips, she felt a strange me igniting her body, breaking any sort of mental resistance.


    " Haah¡­.Haahhh¡­ Young Master, Please take me¡­"

 Chapter 115 Lu Yanyu Repaying Back (R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 115 Lu Yanyu Repaying Back (R-18)</h4>


    Long King held Lu Yanyu''s body as he kissed her gently. After having so many encounters, Long Ming could be called a master of pleasure.


    His arms wrapped around the waist of Lu Yanyu, keeping her in his embrace tightly. His lips trailed below her body, caressing the neck of Lu Ynayu with sensuality.


    " Mmnnn¡­"


    Lu Yanyu closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling of love from Long Ming''s lips. Her body shivered when Long Ming teased her neck like that, nibbling lightly with his teeth,


    She was there when Long Ming took on the four beauties of Eternal Spring Tower like that. She peeked into the room and saw Long Ming utterly dominating four girls at once.


    His movements were like a fierce beast, who was thrown between a pack of prey. Lu Yanyu saw how Long Ming''s robust manhood didn''t flinch as he pleased all four women thoroughly.


    After that day, Lu Yanyu never spent a night where she hadn''t dreamt of Long Ming''s perfect figure. The sensation of her being one of her lovers made Lu Yanyu''s body numb with a strange addiction, making her panties messy every morning.


    But now, She felt it could be fulfilled. Her breathing became faster and more rough and a lustful desire invoked in her mind.


    Long Ming also felt his blood igniting, signifying that his Incubus Bloodline waspletely awakened. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see a light purple pheromone appearing around her body, engulfing Lu Yanyu within it.


    " Young¡­ Young Master¡­ I am¡­ I am so happy tonight¡­"


    " Hehe, don''t get so happy this early. After all, We have all night with us." Long Ming grinned as he started to take off her clothes. Long Ming''s hands were fast and experienced as he took off the light clothes that covered the beauty of Lu Yanyu.


    Lu Yanyu gave a light moan when Long Ming''s fingers traced her soft skin. She looked at Long Ming with a gaze full of desire as she also helped him to take off his clothes.


    " Ahn!"


    Lu Yanyu gave a cute yelp when Long Ming suddenly lifted her up and ced her on the bed. Her heart thumped like a newborn fawn jumping as her skin turned into a light pink shade.


    Long Ming''s body pinned Lu Yanyu''s body as a yful grin appeared on his lips. " You are shivering, Yanyu. Are you scared?"


    Lu Yanyu gulped a mouthful of saliva when she heard that. " Sc-Scared? I¡­ I think nervous is the more appropriate word. I mean¡­ It''s my first time being so¡­ Intimate with someone."


    Long Ming chuckled as her finger traced her body, traveling from her lower jawline to her cleavage, then slowly to her soft abdomen. He was using the Ecstatic Cloud Finger as a thread of Fragrant Yin Qi kept pulsing into Lu Yanyu''s body while Long Ming kept stroking her.


    Lu Yuanyun felt incredibly shy when her body was exposed before Long Ming. However, the desires inside her exploded, making her feel even more blissful.


    " Ahnn! Young master¡­ You are¡­"


    Lu Yanyu bit her lips as she felt Long Ming''s lips on her nipples. One of her palms gently fondled her breasts while his tongue teased another of her nipples. Not to mention, while teasing the breasts of Lu Yanyu, Long Ming''s right palm slid between her legs, caressing her inner thighs.


    Before Lu Yanyu couldprehend anything, she felt Long Ming''s fingers slipping inside her pussy sneakily. His lips pressed on her nipple as her fingers stroked inside the pussy of Lu Yanyu, making her body jolt with a wave of pleasure.


    " AHNN!~"


    Long Ming''s finger kept stroking Lu Yanyu''s pussy and breasts as their naked bodies pressed together. Lu Yanyu could only give out moans of pleasure when she got teased by Long Ming like that.


    " Yanyu, Since you asked me to take the reward, how can I not take it?" Long Ming''s whispers were sweet, but they also contained a devilish vibe, akin to a whisper of a demon.


    However, no matter how much of a demon Long Ming is, Lu Yanyu feels an intense urge to give in to all the demands of Long Ming and let him have her body however he wishes.


    " Believe me, Yanyu¡­ I am going to make this night memorable. It will be something you could never forget."


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s thumb pressed the pink bean of Lu Ynayu while his stroking increased. Lu Yanyu''s eyes widened as she tried to mp her legs, But Long Ming''s action made her unable to do anything.


    " Ahnn¡­ Young master!... I am cumming! I am cumming!!!"


    *PSSSHHHHH*


    Long Ming kissed the breasts of Lu Yanyu as his finger poked the sweet spot, making Lu Yanyu''s body tense up, only to release her gushing nectar in the next moment.


    His finger dripped with Lu Yanyu''s love juice as Long Ming grinned. Lu Yanyu''s chest rose and fell as her lips remained parted. She rolled her eyes and looked at Long Ming, who was lying beside her.


    " That¡­That was so¡­"


    " Incredible?" Long Ming grinned as he got over Lu Yanyu pressing her beneath him. " This is only the starter, Yanyu. I am going to serve the main course right now."


    " Hnn¡­Hngh¡­."


    Lu Yanyu''s eyes looked below and saw Long Ming''s body pinning her. She could feel something hard and throbbing, hot like a heated iron rod yet girthy like a stick, rubbing on her wet pussy lips.


    She caught a glimpse of the dangling ck staff roaming over her pussy, its pink tip caressing her pussy lips like a snake tasting water on leaves.


    Lu Yanyu was already sensitive due to her first climax. However, Long Ming''s tease like that made her body even more fiery and needy. The craving was too intense, making Lu Yanyu desire more of Long Ming.


    " Yo-Young Master¡­ Don''t tease me anymore.." Lu Yanyu panted as her arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck. Long Ming lowered her head, moistening the lips of Lu Yanyu with his lips.


    " Then what should I do?"


    " Do¡­ It¡­ Do it."


    " Do what?" Long Ming grinned. Lu Yanyu blushed when she saw Long Ming''s yful antics.


    " Put it in¡­ Put that cock inside me¡­"


    " As you wish, My Yanyu." Long Ming grinned as his hips lowered.


    Lu Yanyu hugged Long Ming even more tightly. She could feel Long Mings staff parting her pussy, making its way inside like ance thrusting inside a tree.


    With a hump, Long Mingpletely thrust his cock inside Lu Yanyu''s pussy, ripping her maiden barrier in one go.


    " Aghh! It''s hurting! It hurts!"


    Lu Ynayu winced in pain as tears almost fell from her eyes. Her hug was tiger as her nails dug inside Long Ming''s back. However, Long Ming didn''t show impatience.


    His hips moved as he started his movement slowly. His meat rod kept grinding against Lu Yanyu''s inner walls till the pain subsided. Lu Yanyu kept taking deep breaths as she felt the sting of pain slowly turning into a pleasurable sensation.


    Seeing Lu Yanyu was right now, Long Ming didn''t hold back anymore.


    *PYAP PYAP PYAP PYAP PYAP*


    Long Ming''s hips moved vigorously as he started to pound Lu Yanyu''s maiden well. His rod was girthy and agile, making Lu Yanyu''s well wrap sound it tightly.


    Due to the tightness, Lu Yanyu felt her sanity slipping due to a sudden feeling of overwhelming pleasure. She could perfectly feel Long Mig''s cock grinding inside her pussy. The throbbing staff and the bulging veins, she could feel each thing clearly.


    " AHnn! Ahn! Ahnnn! Young Master¡­ Keep it¡­Keep it up."


    Lu Yanyu moaned as she held Long Ming in a tight embrace. After getting grasped, her body matched with the pace of Long Ming, making more of them move like beasts in heat.


    Long Ming''s thrusts were pretty deep as his rod would almoste outside before diving into the hole of Lu Yanyu. The racy sound of their flesh shing echoed through the room, making both of them even more immersed.


    " Ahnn! Ahnnn! Young Master¡­ I am cumming again!!"


    " No worries, dear."


    Long Ming grinned as he gave a deep thrust. " We can climax together."


    His jewel sack pulsed as Lu Yanyu''s eyes rolled back in bliss. Long Ming kissed her as he dumped a big load inside her sacred well.


    Their tongues interwind as Lu Yanyu could feel her sweet nectar mixing with Long Ming''s warm fluid. Her legs trembled as she felt they already be numb due to the intense pleasure.


    Their lips parted as Long Ming got up slowly, her dark staff slowlying out of Lu Yanyu''s pussy, stained with her virgin blood and white fluid.


    However, Lu Yanyu realized it wriggled for some moments before regaining its hardness.


    " Hehe, This is just round one, Yanyu." Long Ming slipped to Lu Yanyu''s side and hugged her from behind.


    Getting hugged like a pillow, Lu Yanyu felt Long Ming''s arm lifting her thighs as the familiar hardened staff teased her pussy again.


    " So, You need to rest or¡­"


    Lu Yanyu grinned as she pressed her back against Long Ming even more, giving more ess to her nape to Long Ming''s lips.


    " Not at all¡­ Young Master." Lu Yanyu''s voice filled with allure. " After all, I wish to learn all about Music and Pleasure all night with you."


    Long Mingughed as his lips pressed against Lu Yanyu''s nape while their bodies became one once again.


    Round two in the spooning position began.

    " Haah, Both of them are so vigorous."


    Meng Zhi sighed as she sat on the chair. A faint sound of a woman''s moan and a man''s grun echoed in her ears. She rubbed her temples with a slightly flustered expression as she was a bit frustrated.


    " Shall I?"


    She held the pants of a male, who looked a bit woody and stiff near the lower abdomen part. Looking at the pants and then at her fingers, she fell into a deep contemtion.

 Chapter 116 Invitation of Jiang Wanxue

    <h4>Chapter 116 Invitation of Jiang Wanxue</h4>


    Lu Yanyu was sleeping while cuddling Long Ming as her breathing was light. Her face was buried in Long Ming''s embrace and a faint smile hung on her face.


    When the sun shone on them, Lu Yanyu finally got up and looked at Long Ming. She tried to get up, but her legs turned soft like jelly. She could feel a pang of pain in her lower abdomen as she looked back at Long Ming''s figure sleeping soundly.


    Looking at the messy bedsheet and the stains on it, Lu Yanyu''s face turned crimson as the hazy memory ofst night became cleared.


    Suddenly, she felt someone grasping her arms as she got pulled back. Long Ming''s face nuzzled on her neck as his eyes were half opened. " Hehe, Morning, Yanyu. Are you still feeling tired?"


    Lu Yanyu blushed when she felt Long Ming''s kiss on her neck, his evil palm already started to knead her perfect mounds.


    " Ahn! Young Master¡­ It''s already morning. We can''t¡­Mmmm." Lu Ynayu shivered a bit as she moaned. Long Ming''s actions were hatefully good, ah.


    " Hehe, Alright, Yanyu. I will do whatever you say." Long Ming her a kiss before getting up. He didn''t bother as he walked around the room naked. Getting a jar of water, he freshened up.


    Suddenly, the room door opened and an servant girl walked inside. Long Ming, who was standing in front of the mirror turned around and looked at her.


    " Young Master, Miss Lu, I brought breakfast¡­"


    The servant girl didn''t notice at first as she ced the te on the table. But when her eyes fell on Long Ming''s naked body, she gawked at the sight the Long Ming''s raw, masculine body.


    " I¡­ I¡­ I¡­"


    She stuttered as her eyes scanned Long Ming, who was also a bit surprised.


    " I AM SORRY!"


    She turned around and dashed out of the room, her heart thumping wildly. Not only did she see Long Ming''s perfect body, but she also saw that massive thing dangling between his legs.


    ''Th-that''s was too big! Young Master Long''s body is truly¡­Devilishly divine.'' The servant girl''s heart thumped as she bit her lips. Leaning on the wall, she mped her legs and shivered, as if she was having a euphoric moment after seeing Long Ming like that.


    Lu Yanyu covered her breasts with bedsheets as she threw a nce at Long Ming. " Can you not roam around like that?"


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. " Don''t tell me she got scared? That would be hrious."


    " Hmph! Pervert!"


    Long Ming and Lu Yanyu sat beside the table as they looked at the dishes.


    " Blood Ginseng Soup, Turtle Meat Brother, Quenching Vigor tea? Heh, It looks like Big Sister Meng knew that we were going have a lot of exercise in night, huh?" Long Ming chuckled when he saw that.


    Lu Yanyu blushed as she hurriedly started to eat. " You¡­Don''t say like that. It feels weird."


    Long Ming looked around her room and found some calligraphy. " I see. Are you learning calligraphy along with the music?"


    " You can say that. However, My main focus is still on music." Lu Yanyu spoke. Long Ming smiled when he heard that.


    After eating Long Ming held the guqin as he looked at Lu Yanyu. " Well, How about I give you a parting gift?"


    Lu Yanyu was stunned when he saw Long Ming start to y the guqin. Suddenly, his fingers moved like raindrops rippling on a pond as a beautiful sound drifted out from it.


    Long Ming closed his eyes as his fingers kept ying the guqin. The Fragran Yin Qi from his body burst out as it turned into a storm of petals.


    The guqin was crafted from a treasured wood. However, with Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura and Fragrant Yin Qi, along with his exceptional musical talent, the song that came out from his guqin could affect the surroundings itself.


    Suddenly, Lu Yanyu felt a warmness in her heart, as if she was suddenly remembering a lot of joyous things. It was like a surge of happy memories and hope for a beautiful future.


    Long Ming''s tuning wasn''t limited inside the room as the sound of guqin spread throughout the Eternal Spring Tower.


    The courtesans, the servants, and some people who came to the restaurant for morning breakfast becake shocked when they heard the tuning. Looking at each other with astonishment, they indulged in the song.


    After a while, Long Ming''s fingers paused as the music finished. Lu Yanyu sat beside him with her eyes closed.


    " What''s the name of this song?"


    Long Ming pondered as a smile appeared on his face. " Well? How about I name it, A Hopeful Morning?"


    " A? Hopeful Morning? It sounds befitting." Lu Yanyu smiled. Long Ming got up and he kissed Lu Yanyu.


    " If you ever have any problems, you cane to me anytime, OK?"


    " Mhm¡­ Thank you for this, Young Master." Lu Yanyu''s gaze turned tender as she looked at Long Ming. Long Ming only smiled as he turned around to leave.


    As Long Ming walked, he looked at an old woman, who was one of the key servants.


    " Is Sister Meng not going to see me off?" Long Ming grinned as he asked The olddy shook her head.


    " Young Master Long, Lady Meng was a bit¡­ Busyst night. Since she was resting, she apologized for not being able to see you off."


    " Uh, That''s fine." Long Ming nodded without any doubt. " If she is feeling like that, she should take a rest."


    Long Ming didn''t linger in the building for long before he walked out. Since it was already daytime, the market was bustling. Long Ming walked around the Grand Sky City market as he could see various buildings.


    " A Xuan Grade Five Phase Lightning Talisman! Only 20,000 Mid grade spirit stones!"


    " A freshly made bottle of Spirit Recovery Pill of Earth grade! Only 100 High grade spirit stones!"


    " One ounce of spirit blood of a Demon Beast King, Blood me Lion! Only 200,000 Mid grade spirit stones!"


    Long Ming smiled when he walked beside those shops. However, his steps paused when a carriage stood before him.


    An old man appeared before Long Ming as he gave a light bow.


    " Young Master Long, If you have some time, Our young miss would like to have a chat with you."


    " Huh? Me?" Long Ming was confused when he heard that. " Who is your youngdy?"


    " The young miss of the Jiang Family, Jiang Wanxue."


    " Jiang Wanxue?" Long Ming''s eyes narrowed when he heard that.


    He could remember her figure as her performance in the Flower Boat Festival had a great impact on Long Ming. However, Long Ming was confused. Why would she invite Long Ming?


    " Are you sure she wanted to meet me?"


    " Of course." The old man smiled. " After all, I don''t think there is a second male True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, right?"


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard that. " Very well, I am free anyway."


    Long Ming nodded as he stepped into the castle. The old man was a peak Harmonization Realm Cultivator. However, Long Ming didn''t feel any malicious aura from him. He doubted he was going to be kidnapped, so he took the chance and got into the carriage.


    The carriage was much spacious as Long Ming walked inside and took afy seat. He could see the high level spatial formations were used inside.


    [ Ding! Host maxed out the favorability of Lu Yanyu! Host gets 40,000 AP! Host gets a White Silver Rank Chest!]


    Long Ming was surprised when he saw that. He clicked on the bright chest as an orb popped out.


    [ Ding! Host gets an Earth grade Demon Core of ck Cloud Panther!]


    " Earth grade Demon core?!" Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. The Earth grade Demon Core is a beast core of at least a peak Harmonization Realm Demonic Beast. It''s much more precious than any average Earth grade treasures or even some low grade Noble grade treasures.


    After all, using the demonic beast core, one could concoct medicinal pills, create formations, or use them to forge treasures. So, It was a precious find for Long Ming, almost the same level as a treasure of Dark Gold Chest.


    " Well, I wonder what will happen if I max out the favorability of Ming Yuexin, Mu Qinglian, or Sect Master Xia?"


    But seeing their attitude, Xia Yuqing and Mu Qinglian might really castrate him if he dared to make a rash move. Long Ming sighed as there were only a few days till the expiration of the system.


    '' Should I focus on farming A grade and B grade beauties?'' Long Ming mumbled.


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine World says that it''s better to hatch a n to catch fish rather than jumping into the river recklessly]


    [ Ding! Constetion Demon King of Lust is saying just to use aprodisiac]


    [ Dibg! Constetion Sanest Watcher is ring at Demon King of Lust!]


    [ Ding! Some fellow watchers secretly support Demon King of Lust for more spicy scenes]


    Long Ming''s eyes turned odd when he saw the flood of notifications before him.


    " Alright, You shameless bastards. Aren''t you feeling ashamed to watch me bang some chicks? Don''t you have any better work?"


    Soon, the carriage stopped before a beautiful mansion as Long Ming walked out. The old man led him inside.

 Chapter 117 A Lucrative Offer

    <h4>Chapter 117 A Lucrative Offer</h4>


    Long Ming got off the carriage as he walked inside the mansion. There was arge garden surrounding it, like a small forest. Long Ming could feel the presence of Spirit Gathering Formation that gathered the surrounding energy into the mansion.


    The flora and fauna inside the garden were imbued with true qi of heaven and earth. There were small demon beasts and medicinal herbs in the garden, with a faint presence of surveince.


    When Long Ming arrived at the outer courtyard, He saw Jiang Wanxue sitting before a stone table, with a tray of teapot and teacups on the table.


    " Greetings, Young Master Long. I am pleased that you epted my invitation and joined me." Jiang Wanxue''s voice was calm as she looked at Long Ming. Unlike before, she didn''t wear any veil this time.


    Long Ming looked at her as he walked and took his seat. " You are looking pretty as always, Miss Jiang."


    " Haha, I am ttered." Jiang Wanxue''s eyes squinted when she heard Long Ming. She thought Long Ming was going to act cautious and reserved, but he appeared pretty calm.


    " This is called Bitter Kalpa Tea. Plucked from a thousand-year-old Bitter Kalpa Tree, the leaves were specially processed, making it filled with a rich spiritual qi which can nourish someone''s soul."


    Long Ming could feel the refreshing fragrance of the tea as Jiang Wanxue poured two cups and passed one to him. Long Ming took a sip as he felt his soul was absorbing the spiritual qi at a rapid pace.


    " Well, I admit, This is really a good tea." Long Ming spoke. " The bitterness can wake up someone from a stupor. However, it will also help someone to gain a sudden enlightenment if used at the right moment."


    However, Long Ming smiled as he took another sip. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked at the teacup.


    " Unfortunately, this is not a thousand year of Bitter Kalpa Tea, but only 500-year-old Bitter Kalpa Tea. Not only the bitterness is higher, but the spiritual qi is still turbid."


    Jiang Wanxue''s eyes squinted as she looked at Long Ming. " Is Young Master Long trying to say I told you a lie?"


    " Telling a lie?" Long Ming smiled. " Perhaps Miss Jiang didn''t know it was a 500-year-old tea rather than a 1000-year-old tea. It''s understandable. After all, Miss Jiang won''t tell a lie, would she?"


    Jiang Wnaxue and Long Ming''s gaze locked as the atmosphere became tense. Jiang Wanxue understood Long Ming''s hidden meaning.


    Even if he said that Jiang Wanxue might have mistaken, that is the same as giving her some face and whitewashing that she didn''t just lie to him.


    Long Ming already possessed a remarkable talent for recognizing various herbs and their details thanks to the Medicinal Record of Thousand Herbs. Not to mention that he also checked the medicinal scriptures of Four Seasons Valley.


    Also, the Wine Master profession increased the sensitivity of his tongue, making him taste even the smallest detail of a dish.


    " Young Master Long truly possesses remarkable abilities. No wonder you became the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley. Your standing is no less than Saintess Mu."


    " That''s only for the public. In the end, we all belong to one sect." Long Ming smiled.


    " Well, Rather than having small talks, How about we jump to the main topic, Miss Jiang?" Long Ming spoke. " What do you wish to speak with me?"


    " Very well, I shall be forward." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming and spoke. " The Imperial Tournament is near. The Azure Sun Secret Realm will be opened. I wonder if Young Master Long will follow my team while venturing inside?"


    " Follow you?" Long Ming looked at Jiang Wanxue. " Why will I do that, Miss Jiang? Are you forgetting I am the disciple of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " In the Azure Sun Secret Realm, all individuals are independent. Other than that, I am sure no one will question if you leave your team and venture on your own."


    " But why? Why am I going to do that?" Long Ming was still confused.


    The Imperial Tournament was divided into two phases. First was the exploration inside the Azure Sun Secret Realm, and the second was the Battle Ranking Matches after that.


    The Azure Sun Secret Realm was something created by the Empress Crimson Sky of Four Seasons Valley. After she became a Heavenly Emperor and ascended, the Azure Sun Secret Realm was used to be the sole property of Four Seasons Valley till the sect faced the great disaster.


    After that, the Azure Sun Sacred Realm remained closed for several thousand years till a joint effort of the Holy Qilin Empire and other sects opened it forcefully. However, unfortunately, Four Seasons Valley lost its rights and it became a public property.


    However, the Azure Sun Secret Realm was something, after all, made by a Heavenly Emperor. The rules of the realms were very powerful as no one above the Early stage of the Harmonization Realm could enter the realm. If someone tried to vite this rule, the power of the Heavenly Emperor would descend and immediately kill the cultivator.


    Thus, it became the perfect training ground for the disciples of various sects.


    " It''s because I believe we can maximize the profits in that way." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming. " I have heard many things about you, Young Master Long."


    " You aren''t someone who is raised in the Four Seasons Valley. You just got invited by Saintess Mu and decided to stay in the Four Seasons Valley. Till now, You have been helping Four Seasons Valley wholeheartedly. However, I don''t see Four Seasons Valley returning your favor in a good way."


    " In fact, you seem to have be the eyesore of many people and even got attacked many times." Jiang Wanxue''s voice was calm. " How about you join us, Young Master Long?"


    " I am making a group of young geniuses of the Holy Qilin Empire. If I exaggerate, I will say it will consist of the geniuses of the entire Eastern Province."


    " The resources and the techniques will be no lesser than a sect. So, What do you say, Young Master Long?"


    Long Ming looked at Jiang Wanxue as his eyes narrowed. It looks like Jiang Wanxue really knows the art of scheming. Not to mention, she also got information from Long Ming, both inside and outside of the sect.


    " Miss Jiang''s offer is lucrative." Long Ming finished his tea as he looked at Jiang Wanxue. " However, I think I am unable to ept it. Please, Pardon me."


    Jiang Wanxue didn''t look disappointed as she looked at Long Ming. " I think following us in the Azure Sun Secret Realm will be still a nice choice. After all, The death rate of Four Seasons Valley disciples inside the secret realm is many times higher than the disciples of other sects."


    Long Ming''s gaze turned cold as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered. A light, but oppressive aura spread from his body, his invisible charm turned into something dominating.


    " I think you should rephrase your words, Miss Jiang. After all, it''s easy to mistake it as a threat."


    Jiang Wanxue''s brows creased as she felt the oppressive aura. She never felt Long Ming wouldn''t hesitate to show his killing intent like that.


    " Young Master Long is right." Jiang Wanxue''s expression didn''t falter. " However, it is true. I won''t say the dangers from other sect is nonexistent. However, arge amount of disciples of Four Seasons Valley indeed died in the Azure Sun Secret Realm."


    Long Ming''s oppressive aura vanished when he heard that. He got up and adjusted his clothes.


    " However, If that''s true, then I am even more responsible for the safety of my junior disciples."


    " Since we can''t reach any agreement, I don''t think any further talk will be fruitful. I shall take my leave then."


    " Hmph, Lady Jiang, I told you. Such a lowly person shouldn''t join our expedition team."


    Long Ming''s steps halted when he heard that. A familiar figure emerged from the courtyard as he looked at Long Ming with contempt.


    " En? Do I know you?" Long Ming felt the dude was familiar. But he couldn''t remember him.


    Yo-You forgot me?! I am Liu Ye of the Liu Family of the Holy Qilin Empire!" Liu Ye shouted.


    " Ah, I see." Long Ming nodded. " How unfortunate, I don''t remember the names of small fries. I apologize."


    " Ba-Bastard!" Liu Ye was livid when he heard Long Ming. " Yo-You are still shameless!"


    He pointed at Long Ming and shouted. " You disrespected Miss Jiang and tried to walk away like that? Apologize to her!"


    Long Ming looked at him as if he was looking at a twitter user. Then, he shrugged and looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    " Well then, I apologize for my sudden outburst. Miss Jiang, I hope you don''t mind it."


    " Hu-Huh?" Liu Ye was stunned when he heard Long Ming. " Th-That sound insincere¡­"


    " Liu Ye, Just because you have a mouth, you think you can keep bbering?" Long Ming finally snapped out.


    " Then, I also have a palm. Want me to use it on you?"


    " You-You!!"


    " ENOUGH!"


    Jiang Wanxue stood up and she looked at Liu Ye. " Young Master Liu, I don''t want any ruckus."


    " Y-Yes, Lady Jiang."


    Long Ming nodded as he turned around and left. Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming''s departing figure as she chuckled.


    " My Lady, What should we do now?" A ck clothed man appeared behind her.


    " Nothing. Nothing at all." Jiang Wanxue sat back and sipped another mouthful of tea.


    " Everything will be done by others."


    She chuckled lightly as she looked at Liu Ye, who was seething with anger.

 Chapter 118 How We Met

    <h4>Chapter 118 How We Met</h4>


    Long Ming was in deep thought when he left the mansion of Jiang Wanxue. Her words kept repeating in his head, making him even more and more confused.


    " You look troubled, Junior Brother~"


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard that voice. He turned around and saw it was Mu Qinglian.


    " Ah, Senior Sister Mu, It''s you."


    " What happened? Got too tired by spending the night in Eternal Spring Tower?" Mu Qinglian''s lips curled into a light snort.


    " Well, Even if I spend many nights, No way I can get tired." Long Ming gave a cheeky reply.


    " Anyway, I was here to check on some Inner Disciples. But I saw you got escorted by someone?" Mu Qinglian asked.


    " It was Jiang Wanxue."


    " Jiang Wanxue?" Mu Qinglian''s eyelids shrunk when she heard that. " She invited you? Hmm, Did she ask you to join her Soaring Phoenix Group?"


    " Well, She did ask me to join her in the expedition of Azure Sun Secret Realm. But what is this Soaring Phoenix Group?"


    Mu Qinglian chuckled. " Well, The heavenly daos have been more active and thend is filled with much more True Qi than in previous centuries. It shows the signs of the new era, with genius like winds and clouds."


    " Jiang Wanxue is also one of the top grade talents of this era. Even I am impressed with her power. However, she was too ambitious." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    " Not to mention, the strangest thing is the attitude of the Ancient Jiang Family. As far as the information I have, Jiang Wanxue shouldn''t even exist. However, after the Jiang Family announced her as their young miss, everything changed."


    " Anyway, the Soaring Phoenix Group is something she created, a gathering of geniuses who could follow her lead. In return, they will get various resources ording to their contribution."


    " Wait, You are saying that Jiang Wanxue isn''t from the Jiang Family?"


    " Perhaps?" Mu Qinglian chuckled. Long Ming suddenly remembered when he tried to peek into the cultivation of Jiang Wanxue. A golden aura of a giang qilin blocked his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    " Senior Sister Mu, Do you know who could have something like a guardian spirit of a qilin? A Golden Qilin?"


    " Qilin?" Mu Qinglian was surprised. " Wouldn''t that be the symbol of the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire?"


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes widened in shock when he realized something.? Golden Qilin protecting Jiang Wanxue, powerful but hidden cultivation, gathering young talents¡­


    " Senior Sister, What is the surname of the Imperial Family?"


    " It''s Qin."


    " Jiang Wanxue¡­ Qin Family¡­" Long Ming felt like he found a great secret.


    '' What if Jiang Wanxue is actually Qin Wanxue? What if she is also a princess of Holy Qilin Imperial Family?''


    " Long Ming, What happened? You suddenly became silent."


    " No¡­ It''s nothing." Long Ming sighed lightly and shook his head. " It''s just that Jiang Wanxue is anything but good. Now I feel I made a good decision by rejecting her."


    " Huhuhuh, Is that so?" Mu Qinglian chuckled. " I thought it would be very hard for you to reject any beauties."


    Long Ming was speechless when he heard Mu Qinglian. " However, I heard something from her, Sister Mu. An interesting fact."


    " Hmm?"


    " I heard the chance of dying for Four Seasons Valley''s disciples is much more high than any other sect inside the secret realm?"


    Mu Qinglian''s face turned stiff when she heard Long Ming, " I see¡­ Sect Master was going to inform you about that too. I guess you just got this news early, huh?"


    " Yes, What she said is right¡­ However, she hid another thing." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    " The Azure Sun Secret Realm was created by Empress Crimson Sky. However, it was also sealed by her with powerful restriction so only low level disciples could ess it."


    " The Secret Realm is divided into three areas. Outer, Inner, and Core Zone. It''s true that many disciples of Four Seasons Valley died mysteriously, but it only happened in the Core Zone and deep of Inner Zone."


    " As long as most of our disciples stay in the Outer Zone, everything will be alright."


    Long Ming was a bit relieved when he heard that. " But, I don''t think there is anything significant in the Outer Zone, yes?"


    Mu Qinglian let out a sigh. " Indeed, There Outer Area is the safest, yet the least yielding area. The resources in the Inner and Core Zone are more than a hundred times greater than the Outer Zone."


    " Well, Fortunees with dangers, huh?" Long Ming sighed with Mu Qinglian. " Don''t worry, Sister Mu. We will get better results this year."


    Mu QInglian''s eyes brightened when she heard Long Ming. " Haha, I like your confidence. I guess Jiang Wanxue can''t really instill fear inside you, huh?"


    " Beside, I am happy that you didn''t back off." Mu Qinglian smiled. " You know, after you came to the sect, everyone''s spirit has been lifted. No one is feeling that the Four Season Valley is a dying well."


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian''s face as he got stunned for a moment. Her lips, her pearl like teeth, she looked absolutely goregeous.


    " Hmm? Why are you gawking at me like this?"


    " Ah¡­Senior Sister, Have someone ever told you that you look extrememly beautiful when you smile?" Long Ming spoke. " You should smile even more often."


    " Yo-You!! You are ttering too much!" Mu Qinglian turned away her face, her cheeks flushing bright red.


    [ Ding! Host gets 1000 AP!]


    Long Ming smiled when he saw that.


    " Senior Sister, Can you tell me something?" Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian. " Actually, How we even met?"


    " Huh? Did I not tell you?" Mu Qinglian was a bit taken aback. Long Ming chuckled, " Well¡­ It''s not like you didn''t tell. But, I feel many parts of my memories are still missing."


    Mu Qinglian was surprised when she heard Long Ming. " Come with me. This ce is too crowded."


    As both of them reached a tea shop, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian sat beside a table and ordered some light tea and snacks. She waved her hands and covered the table with a shield of spiritual qi.


    " Well, That day, I found a hidden cultivation cave during my journey." Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming and started to speak.


    " I found a Ten Thousand Year old zed Snow Flower which can improve my phy¡­Ahem, My cultivation. However, when I was in deep cultivation¡­ I got ambushed."


    Long Ming''s eyes widened when he heard that. Mu Qinglian got ambushed? That was really an absurd thing, knowing Mu Qinglian got her encounter by chance, but she still got attacked?


    " Well, I tried my best and killed as many as I could. Not to mention, the Royalgrade treasure I got from Master also helped me. However, those bastards were also powerful. I got seriously injured and tried to escape, but those assassins didn''t let me go and chased me."


    " Then?"


    A faint smile appeared on Mu Qinglian''s lips as she looked at Long Ming. " Then, a meteor fell from the sky. I don''t know how can it contain such chaotic and berserk energy, but it contained a tremendous might."


    " It fell on my attackers, killing thempletely. Like, a blessing from heaven itself, Protecting me from my death."


    " When the mes and enery subsided, I looked at the crater and found a human shaped pitch ck rock."


    " The rock cracked, and a handsome young man was lying naked inside it." Mu Qinglianughed. " And, he got a tattoo of ck and White Spider Lily on his arm."


    Long Ming was shocked when he heard that. He couldn''t even remember when and how he got transmigrated to here. However, listening to Mu Qinglian''s story, he was even more shocked.


    Falling like a meteor from sky? Covered with a dense and chaotic energy? He couldn''t remember anything at all.


    " That''s why I always had my caution around you. When I realized that your heart is still beating, I decided to keep you with me and interrogate youter. However, the chaotic energy around you helped me topletely refine the zed Snow Flower and improved my cultivation."


    " You didn''t open your eyes for several days, till we reached the Four Seasons Valley." Mu Qinglian spoke. " Although I tried to treat you harshly at first. It was solely because I didn''t believe that I could be saved by you in such a way. Deep down in me, I was afraid that you were a trap for me and sect."


    " However, There was also a part of mine who was assured that you are anything but that."


    " Meeting of you and me is something like a¡­ thread of fate tying us together."


    Long Ming alsoughed lightly when he heard that." Well, I guess I also believe that."


    Soon, the dishes and tea arrived as Mu Qinglian and Long Ming enjoyed the time together. Long Ming realized that Mu Qinglian was still a girl despite being the Saintess of Four Seasons Valley.


    '' Haah, She is really carrying a huge burden.''

 Chapter 119 Medicinal Hall

    <h4>Chapter 119 Medicinal Hall</h4>


    When Long Ming and Mu Qinglian returned to the sect, it was already past noon. When Long Ming returned to his Solitary Flower Peak, he saw Chu Li was already there.


    " Ah! Senior Brother Long! You are here!"


    " Hmm? Chu Li? What brings you here?"


    Chu Li smiled with light shyness. " Umm, Senior Brother, the Soaring Water Moon Art is pretty profound for me. I can''t understand some parts of the technique,"


    Long Ming nodded " No worries. I will teach you in an easier way"


    Long Ming already mastered the Soaring Water Moon Art. Therefore, Teaching Chu Li wasn''t too big of a task for him. He slowly exined the profundity of the technique, making Chu Li got mesmerized by that.


    " Chu Li, Unlike before, You havepletely awakened your physique. The restriction of your cultivation has been lifted or even improved." Long Ming spoke.


    "Therefore, You must seize this chance and improve your cultivation, making up the time you have lost." Long Ming looked at Chu Li and pondered.


    " You have spent too much time in the Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Your foundation is solid, so multiple breakthroughs wouldn''t be an issue."


    " Multiple breakthroughs?" Chu Li gasped. " Senior Brother, wouldn''t that be difficult for me? I mean, Multiple breakthroughs are something that only top geniuses could do."


    " Top geniuses? What rubbish." Long Ming snorted. " As long as you have enoughprehension and support, you can break through as much as you want."


    " Do you still have the Water Pearl Pills of Elder Liang?"


    " Yes, Senior Brother. I haven''t used them." Chu Li spoke.


    " Very well, take it out and eat all of them at once."


    " What?!"


    Chu Li was dumbfounded when she heard that. " All at once?"


    " Hurry up and don''t ask." Long Ming chuckled, standing behind Chu Li. " Don''t worry, You won''t die, Chu Li. How can I harm my junior sister?"


    Chu Li''s heart thumped when Long Ming stood so near. She swallowed her saliva and nodded. She sat on a rock and took out a pill bottle. Inside it, there were five blue colored pills inside it.


    " Tch, It''s just Water Pearl Qi, and only two of them were at Mid grade pills while three of them were Low grade. Is Elder Liang really a Grandmaster Alchemist?"


    Chu Li was stunned when she heard Long Ming''s mutters. " Umm, Senior Brother, Refining pills are pretty hard you know. Not to mention, one has to go through many failures to refine a perfect batch of pills. Elder Liang concocted pills as fast as she could, so she might have not focused on the quality of the pills."


    " I don''t think so." Long Ming shrugged. " Since she is a Grandmaster Alchemist, she should be able to refine this pill easily. But I guess, some people are really talentless, huh?"


    Chu Li trembled as she was shocked by Long Ming''s tant words.? Without saying anything else, she ate all five pills at once.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    A rich wave of Water Qi burst around her body as her divine sea was filled with it. Although they were only Mid grade and Low grade pills, the medicinal energy was definitely not low at all.


    Chu Lu''s expression turned contorted as she felt her divine sea swelling up. However, at that moment, she felt Long Ming cing his palm on her back.


    " Don''t worry. Just close your eyes and recite the chant along with me. Try to remember everything I have taught you and start circting the Soaring Water Moon Art."


    Chu Li''s anxious heart calmed down when she heard Long Ming''s voice. As if they contained some mysterious power, Chu Li felt like it would be as easy as cake.


    Slowly, she circted her technique as the Water Qi flower in her vein. She activated her River Carp Physique as a blue colored fish jumped out from her body, swallowing the Water Qi.


    The true qi around her surged as they started to condense in her divine sea.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming could feel the sh of true qi inside her dantian as the blue-colored carp swallowed the Water Qi.


    As time passed, the true qi was absorbed by the pce foundation of Chu Li as the new Celestial Pirs started to emerge in her Divine Sea.


    Chu Li''s body trembled as his cultivation started to soar.? Mid stage of Violet Pce Expansion Realm, then High stage¡­Then all the way to the Peak stage, Chu Li reached it in two hours.


    " This¡­ This¡­ This is too absurd!"


    Chu Li slowly opened her eyes as she looked at his divine sea. She could feel the nine polished white colored Celestial Pirs, standing like towers.


    " I created nine Celestial Pirs. And¡­ All of them were Polished grade." Chu Li stammered.


    There were also qualitative and quantitative differences between the Celestial Pirs. For example, Chu Li managed to create nine Polished grade Celestial Pir, which is almost the highest grade a normal cultivator can have.


    But Long Ming''s Celestial Pirs were Heavenly grade pirs, which even surpassed ancient geniuses.


    " Well, Before the Imperial Tournament begins, you might able to reach the True Core Formation Realm." Long Ming smiled. " Hmm? This¡­"


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered as he looked at Chu Li. " Chu Li, can you activate your physique? Let me see if you received any special ability from your physique."


    " Well, Apart from managing a vast amount of Water Qi, I think¡­ My Spiritual Qi increased."


    A blue colored carp appeared around Chu Li as he released his spiritual pressure. Long Ming nodded with satisfaction when he realized Chu Li''s soul was as powerful as a Mid stage True Core Formation Realm.


    " I guess the true power of your physique lies in the Spiritual Qi. Using Water Qi and Spiritual Qi, you might be an excellent Rune Master."


    " Rune Master? Hmm, Actually, I have more interest in alchemy though." Chu Li blushed.


    " Alchemist? Hmm¡­" Long Ming pondered." Alchemist works with Fire Qi, which is the opposite of Water Qi. However, it''s not like you can''t be an alchemist."


    " I thought it would conflict with my cultivation?" Chu Li was a bit worried.


    " Not really. As long as you can bnce your Fire Qi with Water Qi, You will able to be an excellent alchemist." Long Ming spoke. " Here, Take this technique. This is called me Dragon''s Breath."


    " Although it''s more like a Fire type battle technique, you will be able to be more natural with Fire Qi after practicing this," Long Ming spoke. " Hmm, You will need some pills to bnce two different qi like that. I will bring it for you."


    " Wahhh! Senior Brother, You are so good!" Chu Li turned around and hugged Long Ming tightly. Long Ming''s expression was a bit stiff when he saw that.


    '' Hmm, Chu Li is still growing¡­ I will let her grow a bit more.''


    Long Ming thought about something as he nodded. " Chu Li, You should stay here and stabilize your cultivation. I will go to the Medicinal Hall for some work."


    " Yes, Senior Brother."


    Long Ming turned around and disappeared, flying toward the Medicinal Hall. When he arrived there, a dense medicinal aroma hit his nostrills as he walked inside.


    " Huh? Isn''t that Senior Brother Long?"


    " Oh my! Senior Brother is here, in Medicinal Hall?


    " Let me inform all our sisters!"


    " Kyahhh~"


    Long Ming didn''t walk to the Alchemy Room, but to the ce Study Room. There were several shelves of books regarding alchemy and pill refinement. Long Ming didn''t waste any time on the characteristics of medicinal herbs as he learned the me Controlling and Pill Refinement.


    '' Skill Learn skill is pretty good. I already have a basic grasp of refining the medicinal essence thanks to my Wine Master Profession. So, I can learn alchemy even more thoroughly.''


    Long Ming didn''t talk to anyone for one hour as heprehended everything he read in the Study Hall. After that, we he opened his eyes, he saw that many girls were surrounding him.


    All of them were silent as they looked at Long Ming with sparkling gaze, with hidden scent of desires. However, all of them werepletely silent, as if they were afraid of disturbing Long Ming.


    " Ahem, Greetings, Junior Sisters. I hope I didn''t disturb you guys?"


    " No!! Not at all."


    " it''s a pleasure that you came to our department, Senior Brother Long."


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked at the girls. Not only were they covered with dense medicinal qi, but they also looked pretty exhausted.


    '' I guess alchemy is really draining their energy and time, huh? They are almost the same as employees of a ckpany.'' Long Ming clicked his tongue.


    " Junior Sisters, First of all, I thank you sincerely. Thanks to you guys, our sect is receiving a steady supply of herbs and medicines." Long Ming smiled.


    A small praise of Long Ming seemed to evaporate the exhaustion and fatigue of those female disciples as their eyes sparkled with joy.


    " Thank you, Senior Brother Long."


    " You are too polite, Senior Brother."


    "Hehe, Don''t worry. We will continue to work hard."


    Long Ming nodded as he looked at one of them. " Well, Since I am here for the first time, is any junior sister willing to show me something about alchemy technique?"


    " Sure, Senior Brother!"


    " We are willing to show you our pill refinement techniques!"


    .


    ..


    .


    .


    .


    *After Three Hours*


    " Look at this! Senior Brother Long! I managed to make Mid rank Spirit Grade pills only after five failures."


    " Senior Brother is my lucky charm! I managed to refine a Xuan grade pill and I only exploded two cauldrons for this!"


    Long Ming''s face turned dark when he saw the results. It''s the same as giving twice of effort and having half of the result¡­ No, it''s half of half a result.


    '' What the fuck with this level of resources burning?! I need to do something!''

 Chapter 120 Elder Liang’s Scandal

    <h4>Chapter 120 Elder Liang''s Scandal</h4>


    Long Ming felt pretty helpless when he saw almost eighty to ny percent of resources were getting wasted. No wonder Four Seasons Valley was reliant on other sects to get medicinal pills.


    '' Isn''t that Elder Liang was a Grandmaster Alchemist? Why the hell these guy''s techniques are so crude?"


    Long Ming looked at them as he chuckled. " Well, I am impressed by your skills, Sisters. How about I also try alchemy a bit?"


    " Whoa?"


    " Senior Brother is going to try alchemy?!"


    " I am so excited to see it!"


    " Haha, It''s my first time. So, I might act clumsily." Long Ming smiled wryly, scratching his head. " I hope you don''t mind it."


    " No, Not at all, Senior Brother Long."


    " Hehe, It will be fun to watch Senior Brother cooking."


    " You mean alchemy, right?"


    " Isn''t that the same?"


    Long Ming sighed when he heard that. Rolling his sleeves, he walked to the pill refinement room and sat before a Medicinal Cauldron.


    During pill refinement, one needs to use their true qi to fuel the spirit me. However, spiritual qi is used to control the refinement of medicines inside the cauldron along with controlling the me''s temperature and intensity.


    One''s spiritual qi is naturally much lesspared to true qi. That''s why, if one''s spiritual qi gets exhausted during pill refinement, the chances of failure increase very much. Not to mention, dual controlling True Qi and Spiritual Qi is hard for most people.


    That''s why, these pill furnace rooms are used, especially in bigger sect. Using the formations to draw out the mes from the Fire Vein inside the earth, the me is easily controble with very little input of True Qi. So even disciples with low aptitude can refine medicinal pills.


    Sitting before a cauldron, Long Ming used Crimson Yang Qi instead of True Qi, because Crimson Yang Qi is more got more fire affinity than regr True Qi.


    The mes burned like a raging tidal at first, but with Long Ming''s swift control, he managed to make it small and perfectly bnced.


    " I am trying to concoct a batch of Violet Spirit Pills. Can someone give me a batch of ingredients?"


    " Wait a second, Senior Brother. I will be right back."


    Long Ming swiftly got the medicinal herbs as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes awakened. Everything heprehended about alchemy slowly surfaced in his mind as he started to put the herbs inside the cauldron.


    The mes spiraled around the cauldron in a slow way as the herbs slowly started to melt inside the cauldron. Using his powerful spiritual qi, Long Ming extracted the essence from those herbs, slowly merging them together.


    The herbal essences merged together as they formed a colorful liquid. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes monitored the smallest changes happening inside the cauldron.


    " Whoa?! Senior Brother reached the essence convergence stage so fast!"


    " Senior Brother is really talented."


    " Well, the pill condensation is much harder than this. But I think Senior Brother might do it."


    " Wait a second¡­ Isn''t Violet Spirit Pill a High-tier Spirit Grade Pill? Didn''t he say this is his first time refining pills?"


    " Huh? Wait, Did he just skip and try to make a higher-grade pill the first time?"


    Generally, Only Alchemy Apprentice can refine Yellow grade pills while the? Alchemy Masters can refine Spirit Grade pills. Therefore, Long Ming should have started with refining Yellow grade pills.


    However, no one dared to voice it out aloud as Long Ming was in full concentration. His hands moved and controlled his Spiritual Qi thanks to the Eternal True Spirit Art.


    Suddenly, the mes surged as a rich medicinal aroma drifted out from the cauldron. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes and Temporal Fate Simtion activated instantly.


    Long Ming used the ability to predict fufture and saw the way where the pill refinement could be failure. So, after knowing them, Long Ming easily avoided those chances of failures.


    It''s same as rapidly making changes while taking glimpse in future.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    The cauldron rumbled as the mes extinguished. Long Ming opened the lid as several pills jumped out from the cauldron.


    " Three High grade and Five Mid grade pills." Long Ming sighed. " I mean, I it could have been better but well¡­"


    He felts something was wrong as there was pin drop silent. When he turned around, all the girls stood silently, gawking at Long Ming like they saw some ghost.


    " He¡­He seeded? Yes, He seeded."


    " Senior Brother Long managed to refine pills without failing?"


    " He¡­ He even managed to refine three high grade and five mid grade pills."


    All of them surrounded Long Ming as they looked at him with a fiery gaze. " Senior Brother, You were joking, right?"


    " Huh?" Long Ming became confused.


    " No way this is your first time refining pills!"


    " Senior Brother lied to us!"


    " Haha, Why would I lie?" Long Ming smiled sheepishly. " This is really the first time I refined pills. I weas so clumsy, didn''t you saw that?"


    The girls looked at each other with suspicious gaze. How could all of them missed when Long Ming was being clumsy?


    " Nooo! Senior Brother is still lying!"


    " Indeed!"


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at them. " Alright, I admit that my knowledge about various medicinal herbs is pretty good. So, How about this? How about I give you some tips regarding alchemy?"


    " What? Senior Brother is willing to give us a lecture?"


    " Whoaaa! I am so excited!


    And after that, Long Ming gave them a lecture for an entire hour about various medicinal herbs. He was only giving knowledge from hisprehension which he got after reading the medicinal scriptures.


    The information was in all those scrolls. However, It was so redundant that most disciples wouldn''t be able to understand it. Not to mention, Long Ming realized that the elders in Medicinal Hall are doing a terrible job in teaching the disciples.


    After the lecture, many of the girls felt enlightened.


    " Well, The furnace here looks a bit outdated. Don''t we have any better quality furnaces?" Long Ming suddenly asked.


    " Well, The amount of cauldrons that explode here is very high. So, Buying a better quality cauldron is a waste, ording to Elder Liang."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming didn''t find any fault in Elder Liang''s reasoning as it was indeed true. However, assuming Elder Liang is an enemy, he wondered if he could find any clues here.


    Long Ming looked at the furnance room and suddenly, his Heavenly Revtion eyes shed.


    " Hmm? These formations seem to be pretty old. Not to mention they seem to be¡­faulty." Long Ming murmured. He walked there and inspected them closely.


    Those formations were like pipelines, that extracted the mes from deep Fire Veins inside the earth. If these formations turn faulty, the pill refinement rate will naturally drop significantly.


    '' Wait a second!''


    Long Ming''s heart shook as he looked at all the formations. Suspicion rose in his mind as he looked at the disciples of Medicinal Hall.


    " Junior Sisters, I think you all use the Burning Flower me Controlling Arts, right? Can you show me?"


    The Burning Flower me Controlling Art is something that most of the Medicinal Hall disciples practice.


    " Indeed, We all practice that. Only Elder Liang and a selected few disciples cultivate the Nine Flower me Technique, which is the upgraded version of Burning Flower me Controlling Arts."


    Long Ming looked at the disciples who were using the me techniques. He again looked at the formations and then at the cauldrons. His heart turned cold as he finally grasped some clues.


    " Well, I guess I stayed here for a bit too much. I shall take my leave, Junior Sisters." Long Ming smiled. " If any of you face any problems, be free toe to my Solitary Flower Peak."


    Before Long Ming left, he didn''t forget to take a cauldron. After all, No one would notice if a cauldron is missing. After getting out, Long Ming rushed straight to An Luan''s residence.


    " Oh my, Look who hase."


    An Luan was sitting amidst a pile of scrolls as she was reviewing the files. " What brings you here, My dear husband?~"


    Long Ming chuckled mildly when he heard that. " I got some important clues. Did you checked the expenditure of Medicinal Hall?"


    " Yes, I checked as you asked me. What do you wish to know?"


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed. " Which thing costs the most in Medicinal Hall?"


    " The formation tes and cauldrons." An Luan replied as she took out an ounting book.


    " Justst month, the Medicinal Hall ordered more than two hundred Spirit Grade Cauldrons. Also, the formations tes of me Gathering Formation also changed two months ago.


    " How much it all cost?"


    " Around two million high grade spirit stones."


    " FUCK!"


    Long Ming almost cursed out loud when he heard that. " That bitch Elder Liang, she embezzled that much?"


    " What happened? What are you talking about?" An Luan''s face also turned serious. " I don''t see any financial defects here at all. Are you saying Elder Liang used some different methods?"


    " Of course!" Long Ming gnashed his teeth. " That bitch, Not only she hoarded the money, she also purposely undermined the potential of Medicinal Herbs."


    " If I don''t catch that bitch right now, the Medicinal Hall will turn into a blood sucking leech of Four Seasons Valley."


    " Then, What do you n to do?"


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s lips curled as he looked at An Luan. An Luan gasped lightly as Long Ming held her waist, kissing her neck gently.


    " Mydy, How about you do me a favor?"

 Chapter 121 Death Of Long Ming

    <h4>Chapter 121 Death Of Long Ming</h4>


    After talking with An Luan, Long Ming turned around to leave.


    " Young Master Long, Isn''t your n a bit dangerous? What if¡­"


    Long Ming only chuckled when he heard An Luan''s worries. " Don''t worry, Lady An. I won''t die this easily."


    Suddenly, he walked near An Luan and gently kissed her lips." After all, I don''t think I would be able to stay dead for long if don''t taste a mature body like yours."


    " Ufufu, You are acting like a pervert, Young Master." An Luan replied back with another kiss. Tracing Long Ming''s cheek, her gaze turned soft.


    "Hope your n seeds."


    " Oh, It will."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Soon, As Long Ming returned to the Solitary Flower Peak, he saw Chu Li and Xiao''er chatting among themselves. He smiled when he saw Xiao''er finally got a friend to spend time with.


    " Young Master! You are back!"


    " Senior Brother, Did you really go to the Medicinal Hall?"


    " Of course. My visit to the Medicinal Hall was very fruitful." Long Ming smiled. " So, What are you both doing?"


    " Ah, I was just sharing my insights of True Core Formation Realm with Sister Chu."


    " Indeed, Big Sister Xiao''er is really good."


    Looking at Long Ming, Xiao''er stood up. " Young Master, Shall I go and cook something?"


    " Cook? No need." Long Ming grinned. " Let''s order something from the sect''s cooking hall."


    " From there?" Xiao''er was startled when she heard that. Cooking Hall naturally makes a lot of delicious and nutritious dishes. That''s where all the Four Seasons Valley''s disciples have their meal.


    However,r Xiao''er felt her cooking was a bit better than the Cooking Hall. Then, why does Long Ming want to eat from Cooking Hall?


    However, she didn''t think much and nodded. " As you wish, Young Master."


    " Oh, And just try to unt, alright? Like, let everyone know you are taking meal for me."


    " Ah?"


    Xiao''er became even more confused.? However, She didn''t hesitate and left for the Cooking Hall.


    " Chu Li, keep practicing. I am going to take? a bath."


    " Ah, Sure, Senior Brother."


    Long Ming didn''t notice that Chu Li''s face was covered with a light shade of red and her gaze became slightly hungry.


    " UWAHHHH! Nothing beats hot water after a day of work." Long Ming was lying inside the tub as he enjoyed the warmth of the water.


    Long Ming opened the system interface and saw only two days were remaining. And till now, he already umted over 250,000 AP.


    Unlike the Courting Death System and God of Wealth System, The Max Level Affection System is more inclined toward hooking up with women rather than battle oriented.


    Long Ming always checked the daily stores, and looked at the items.? If it was modern Earth, these items would be heavenly. But most of the things were simply useless in Immortal World.


    For example, there is a potion called X-Ray potion, that grants someone X-ray vision for one hour. And it cost around 50,000 AP.


    However, such things are useless in the Immortal World as obtaining divine sense or unique eye technique is better. Some asional good products alsoe, but they are too expensive even for Long Ming.


    " Hmm? What''s this?"


    Long Ming''s eyes attracted to a blood colored ruby in the store.


    [Poison Snake Crystal: A crystal from a highly poisonous snake treated with particr medicines. It can easily cure high level poison.]


    [ Cost: 50,000!]


    Long Ming pondered for a moment before he decided to purchase it. As for the remaining 200,000 AP, he was still wondering what he should do.


    But then


    [ Ding! Host currently has a sufficient amount of AP! Are you willing to y the super roulette?]


    " What?"


    [ Each spin will cost 10,000 AP! You have ten chances today. In special spin, the drop rate of Star tinum grade Box will increase greatly (by 1%) and Divine Grade Box will increase substantially(0.1%)]


    Long Ming''s face turned dark when he saw that. " Are you really increasing the drop rate by that much?"


    Suddenly, the screen flickered as another row of messages appeared.


    [ Sorry for the error! All we wish to say is that the drop rate will be increased very, VERY MUCH! So, don''t hesitate to sell your kidneys¡­ Ahem, spend your AP!]


    " Fucking gha!"


    Long Ming snorted as he washed his arms. However, his lips twitched as his finger stuck out like a snake, clicking on the 10X Spin.


    " Fuck! How dare you to act without my permission!" Long Ming looked at his finger and scolded.


    " Hmph! Since you already messed up, Let''s see if we can get something good."


    [ Ding! 100,000 AP spent! The roulette is beginning!]


    [ Ding! Congrattions! Host gets nothing!]


    Long Ming''s face turned extra dark. Why the fuck someone will congratte him for getting nothing?


    "This system''s UI is really shit."


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World giving sigh of pleasure]


    " ???!!!"


    Long Ming almost jumped out of his bathtub when he saw that message. " I beg your fucking pardon?"


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World deletes the message. What he wanted to say was that he got distracted by one of his teasing wives who was crouching before him. He is saying that he will be taking your constructive criticism seriously]


    [ Ding! Demon King of Lust is smacking his lips. He is asking if he could join Harem King of Nine Worlds]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is showing his middle finger!]


    [ The other constetions are betting on your gha!]


    Long Ming''s eyes shifted on the system screen as he saw the results.


    After five boxes of congrattory nothingness, Long Ming''s anger already reached its peak.


    But then, good stuffs finally started toe.


    [ Ding! Host gets a White Silver Grade Light Feather Boots!]


    [ Ding! Host gets a White Silver Grade Technique! Hundred Flower Arrows]


    [ Ding! Host gets a Dark Gold Grade Skill! Silkwave Demon Yin Palm]


    [ Ding! Host gets a Dark God Grade Pill! True Meridian Healing Pill!]


    [ Ding! Host gets a Star tinum grade Weapon Refining Art! Myriad Treasure Refining Tome!]


    " Well, Well¡­ Now this is something I would love to see. I got a Star tinum grade skill, huh?" Long Mingughed out loud when he saw that.


    Standing up from his bath, he walked outside and wiped his body. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he turned around. He felt like someone was peeking at him.


    But then, he shrugged as he walked into his room and got ready.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah! Haahh! Senior Brother almost caught me."


    Chu Li bit her lips as she was panting. Her whole body was covered with sweat and her skin flushed with a shade of pink.


    " But he is so¡­fucking handsome!"


    If anyone else would see Chu Li right now, they might even see the raging mes of desire materialize around her body. Seeing Long Ming taking a bath, Chu Li felt the mes of her desire increase even more.


    '' No! Chu Li! You need to calm down! Let''s wait for the right moment!'' Chu Li took deep breaths as she calmed herself.


    " Huh? Chu Li? What happened to you?"


    " KYAAHHH~"


    Chu Li jumped like a spring as she got frightened. " Ah! Senior Brother! I was just practicing my techniques. So, I got tired a bit."


    As they talked, they saw Xiao''ering back.


    " Sister Xiao''er, You are back!"


    Xiao''er nodded as she looked at Long Ming. " Young Master, The chef told me that she will be making dishes specially for you. So, They sent me back, saying they wille here with the dishes shortly."


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming''s lips curled when he heard that. It barely took ten minutes before two servant girls came up to the mountain with steaming dishes. Braised Demonic Pig''s meat, noodles made with Spirit Wheat, rice made of Blood Rice, and various other dishes simply looked delicious beyond anything.


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the dishes. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered as his expression became thoughtful.


    " Mm! This Pork Chop tastes so good!"


    " And this Herbal Soup¡­ This is vorful beyond anything!"


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes started to glow as he understood everything.


    " Yeah¡­ Let''s have a meal."


    Long Ming chuckled as he suddenly grabbed the bowl of rice. " However, no one will touch the rice, except me."


    .


    .


    .


    " What? There has been an emergency situation in Solitary Flower Peak?"


    " Hall Master Liang, You have been summoned by Sect Master! Please hurry and go to Solitary Flower Peak!"


    Liang Yao nodded as she turned into a ray of light and shot toward the Solitary Flower Peak.


    " Wooohooo! It''s all my fault!"


    " Senior Brother! You can''t¡­ YOU CAN''T!!"


    Liang Yao saw Long Ming lying on the ground his entire body already turned pale blue. Xiao''er and Chu Li were crying before his body.


    Xia Yuqing''s gaze was cold as she was trembling. Other than Xia Yuqing, there was only Ming Yuexin standing.


    " Elder Liang, check his body and food. I want to know¡­everything."


    Liang Yao''s body shivered when she heard the voice of Xia Yuqing. The voice alone made her blood freeze in fear. She used her Spirit Silver Needles as tested on the food.


    " There is no poison in food. As you can see, this needle didn''t turn ck."


    " We all ate together!" Xiao''er wailed. " But how could Young Master get poisoned and we didn''t?!"


    Liang Yao touched Long Ming''s body, which already turned cold. There was no hint of pulse, no sign of true qi. Not to mention, she made a small cut on his body, and ck blood dripped out.


    " It''s truly a mystery how he got poisoned." Liang Yao spoke. " I can detect poison in his body, but not in his food."


    " So, Unless someone gave him poison directly¡­"


    Her gaze fell on Xiao''er and Chu Li.

 Chapter 122 Xia Yuqing Is Angry

    <h4>Chapter 122 Xia Yuqing Is Angry</h4>


    " Wh- What?"


    Ling Yao looked at Xiao''er and Chu Li as she spoke. " As I said, if you guys don''t believe, then we can test the food right here. There is no poison in food at all."


    " So, Long Ming must be poisoned from outside."


    " And, the only suspects here are these two girls."


    " What does that mean?!" Xiao''er looked at Liang Yao and shouted. " I am young Master Long''s faithful servant! How can I do this to him?"


    " Yes! Senior Brother even helped me to awaken my physique! Why would I harm him?"


    Liang Yao shrugged. " Well, We don''t know any hidden motive yet. So, I am asking Sect Master to put them into custody."


    " Noo! We are innocent!"


    " We didn''t do anything!"


    " Silence!"


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes turned red as she pulled out her sword and pointed at Chu Li and Xiao''er. " If you are most guilty, Who is?! Because there are only three people here!"


    Xia Yuqing also red at Chu Li and Xiao''er as she spoke. " Since that''s the case, They should be put in custody."


    " Sect Master! I didn''t do anything! I am innocent!" Xiao''er shouted as tears streamed down her face. " I¡­ I even know something! The Medicinal Hall¡­There is something¡­"


    " Hmph! Trying to cover up Long Ming''s death? I think you are really the culprit!" Liang Yao shouted angrily as her aura exploded, her voice covering Xiao''er.


    Xiao''er felt like she was going to cough a mouthful of blood. Liang Yao''s pressure was too much for her low cultivation.


    " Sect Master, How about I take these two and get the truth out of them? Other than Soul Searching, I have some different methods."


    Xia Yuqing looked at Liang Yao. " Are you sure you can extract the truth?"


    " Sect Master, Please give me a chance." Liang Yao spoke with determination. " Long Ming could be considered as one of the best disciples of Four Seasons Valley. I will do my best to get the root of his murder."


    " Then take them away!" Xia Yuqing turned around and snorted. " Before the truthes out, no one must leak the news."


    " Meanwhile, I will be preserving Long Ming''s body."


    Xia Yuqing''s killing intent soared to the sky. Ming Yuexin was also gripping her sword as she was sobbing.


    Xiao''er and Chu Li bith became horrified when they heard Xia Yuqing''s words. Liang Yao snorted as she took both of them and left.


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming''s corpse as her tone was still cold. " Now, Can you get up?"


    Long Ming didn''t reply. Ming Yuexin was stunned when she heard that. " Sect Master¡­"


    Xia Yuqing''s killing intent vanished, but her cold expression remained. " I guess you will remain stubborn, huh?"


    An icy sword materialized out of thin air as it turned into a beautiful ice sword. Holding it, she shed at Long Ming''s crotch.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s body twisted at an odd angle as she evaded the attack. He slowly opened his eyes as he looked at Xia Yuqing.


    " Master¡­ You can''t be serious, right? You really wanted to destroy your disciple''s lifelong happiness?"


    Long Ming stood while staggering as he took out the Poison Snake Heart and ate it. He sliced his wrist and the ck colored blood flowed out from it. It didn''t take long before the pce blue shade on his skin vanished.


    " Bro¡­Brother Long, That¡­" Ming Yuexin was shocked when he saw that scene.


    Xia Yuqing snorted when she saw Long Ming was right. " There is no way a bastard like him will die so suddenly. Especially after sending me the transmission talisman."


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Ming Yuexin. " Sister Ming, Did I scare you?"


    " Rascal! Why did you do this!" Ming Yuexin clenched her fist and hammered Long Ming''s chest furiously. " Damn it, You weren''t even breathing, nor your body had any qi. I was so scared for a moment¡­"


    " I am sorry, Sister Ming. I had to create this scene." Long Ming hugged her as he whispered faintly.


    " But there was no poison in the food. How did you get poisoned?" Xia Yuqing asked.


    " Yes, there was no poison in individual food. However¡­" Long Ming grinned. " If you eat all food at once, the herbs will mix inside your body, creating a potent poison. Such poison will barely take any time before killing someone."


    " And, How did you survive?"


    Long Ming grinned. " I ate half of the antidote and sealed my acupoints. Using my Great Mystical Mountain Physique to make my blood heavier, I suppressed the poison. Then using a special means, Ipletely concealed my life force."


    After all, his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique''s concealment ability is simply unparalleled.


    " Now, Master, We don''t have much time." Long Ming''s eyes flickered as he jumped. " We need to hurry else that bitch might kill them."


    ..


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Elder Liang! You think you will be safe?" Xiao''er spoke with a venomous tone. " I already know the secret. Young Master already told me about¡­"


    *PAAA*


    Liang Yao pped Xiao''er making her tumble backwards. " Bitch, You think you can ruin years of my hard work like this?"


    Chu Li acted scared as she looked at Xiao''er. " Sister, Xiao''er, Wh-What is happening? What do you know?"


    " Hehe, Liang Yao, I know¡­ Why don''t you confess it, huh?" Xiao''er wiped the blood from her lips as her tone was filled with venom. " You killed Young Master Long, didn''t you?"


    " Pffft¡­ Hahahah!AHAHAHA!"


    Liang Yao burst outughing as her eyes turned cold.? " Yeah, I killed that fucker. So what?"


    She clenched Xiao''er''s jaws, making her bleed even more. " Can you imagine how I spent years in this shitty sect? Only if I wasn''t duped, thinking that tits a great sect with the lineage of three Heavenly Emperor, I would be living in a better ce."


    " But you know what, I found a better offer. Heh, I seized a massive amount of resources from here. Even if Four Seasons Valley is dying, they still have a shit load of resources that I can plunder."


    " Not to mention, I can even slowly deteriorate their strength, sending their disciples to a better ce in exchange for a lot of resources."


    Liang Yao clenched the neck of Xiao''er as she raised her body. " Just a bit more, and after this ce gets empty, I will travel to Holy Qilin City and live a life of a queen."


    " Don''t worry, I will make sure to show you as the culprit after killing you." Liang Yao gave a coldugh. " After all, A little bit of alchemical knowledge is enough to stain your hands with poison."


    " You won''t escape¡­ You will die, Liang Yao." Xiao''er grinned. Her blood stained her face, making her look crazy.


    " Hmph, I guess I need to silence you both."


    Before Liang Yao could make her move, she suddenly felt like she lost the sensation of her right arm.


    Her expression changed when she saw her arm got severed and fell on the ground. Xiao''er also fell to the ground as she gasped for breath.


    " AHHHHHHH!!!!"


    Liang Yao screamed in agony as she turned around. She saw Xia Yuqing standing there with an emotionless face. " Liang Yao, I never thought I had been raising a snake in my garden all these years."


    " Yo-You!!"


    Lian Yao''s eyes turned wide when she saw Long Ming standing behind Xia Yuqing. " Bastard! How are you alive?"


    " Well, My master said a scoundrel like me can''t die so easily. Maybe that''s why?" Long Ming grinned as he looked at her.


    " You have been purchasing low quality cauldrons while taking money for high tire Spirit grade cauldrons. Not to mention, you subtly changed the formation tes of the alchemy room, making the heat easily damage the cauldron."


    " Therefore, most disciples got their cauldron to explode due to the failure in refinement. They thought it was their fault as the cauldrons getting exploded is something normal." Long Ming snickered.


    " But who would have thought the real reason was the faulty formation tesbined with their Burning Flower me Maniption Art was the real cause of their failure?"


    " Not only you embezzled the money of the sect, you even undermined the disciples of Four Season Valley, making their dao of alchemy extremely weak and feeble." Long Ming shouted as he pointed at Liang Yao.


    " Kehk¡­ You bastards¡­ To think I will get tricked this bad." Liang Yao took out a bottle of pills and gulped down. The bleeding stopped instantly as she gave a fierce look to Xia Yuqing.


    " Xia Yuqing, Don''t act too cocky. I am an Alchemy Grandmaster, I can be respected anywhere I go. You should¡­"


    Xia Yuqing raised her finger another icy light shed. Liang Yao''s aura burst out as she tried to to dodge that attack. But Xia Yuqing barely took any time before she severed the left arm of Liang Yao."


    " ARRGHH!"


    " I guess Four Seasons Valley is pretty different from anywhere else." Xia Yuqing''s voice was dripping with an icy coldness. " Liang Yao, From right now, You are charged with treason. Your possessions will be confiscated and your cultivation shall be crippled."


    " You think¡­ You can do that?" A crazy smile shed on her face as a violet color rune appeared before him. Suddenly, Her body started to turn illusory as sheughed out loud.


    " Teleportation Talisman!"


    Long Ming''s eyes widened. But Xia Yuqing''s expression didn''t flinch. " My dear disciple, Watch carefully."


    " Domain of Snow Flower."


    Suddenly, a surge of frost energy erupted in the room as Liang Yao''s expression changed. Her body which was turning fain suddenly halted as the violet rune got covered with frost.


    " Yo-You! What are you doing?!"


    " Nothing, Just freezing the space." Xia Yuqing replied.


    " Now, Shatter."


    Liang Yao''s body exploded like a lump of crushed meat.

 Chapter 123 Alchemical Windfall

    <h4>Chapter 123 Alchemical Windfall</h4>


    Long Ming was shocked when she saw Xia Yuqing''s move. Liang Yao was a mid stage Harmonization Realm cultivator. However, Xia Yuqing barely took any time before she crushed the body of Liang Yao.


    She used the Deste Winter Arts of Four Seasons Grand Swordsy to kill Liang Yao. Long Ming realized the power of the Imperial grade Technique that managed to kill a Harmonization Realm Cultivator like that.


    Not to mention, Liang Yao clearly used an Earth grade Spatial Teleportation Talisman. However, Xia Yuqing managed to cancel it with her skill. Long Ming took a deep breath when he understood how Xia Yuqing managed to freeze the space itself.


    Suddenly, an illusory figure emerged from the corpse of Liang Yao. Long Ming realized that it was the soul of Liang Yao. Xia Yuqing waved her hand as she sealed the soul in a block of ice crystal.


    " Don''t you think you can escape like that, Liang Yao? I have plenty of methods to extract information from your soul." Xia Yuqing spoke with a frigid tone.


    Long Ming walked at Xiao''er as he fed her a Golden Healing Pill. " Hey, You suffered quite a lot for me."


    Xiao''er hugged Long Ming as she grinned. " Well, As long as I can help Young Master, I won''t even mind dying."


    " Shuush, Why are you speaking ominous words?" Long Ming wiped the blood from her lips as his tone became soft. Then, he looked at Chu Li and smiled. " I am sorry, Chu Li."


    " It''s alright, Senior Brother." Chu Li nodded. " After all, I also wanted to repay your favor for helping me to awaken my physique. Hehe, If you are feeling sorry, then you can do something to repay me."


    " Hmm? And what is that?" Long Ming grinned. Chu Li chuckled as she slowly got up. " Not now, Brother Long. I will ask you soon."


    Her eyes shed with a trace of desire as she looked at Long Ming. But then, a light cough startled everyone as they looked at Xia Yuqing.


    " If you guys finished your melodrama, Can we proceed further?" Xia Yuqing spoke.


    Long Ming let go of Xiao''er as he got up. " Master, I don''t know any soul searching method. So, interrogating the soul of Liang Yao, I let you do that."


    " But before that¡­"


    Long Ming''s eyes shed with a greedy light as he picked the spatial ring of Elder Liang. Although it looked ordinary, Long Ming could see that it was a Peak Earth grade Spatial Ring thanks to his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    Since Liang Yao is dead, the imprint on it already vanished. But since it''s a high grade Spatial Ring, the intricate runic lock was still there. But for Long Ming who had extensive knowledge about runes and had the Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could easily break it.


    " Well, I guess you are greedy as usual." Xia Yuqing saw that as shemented. Long Ming chuckled.


    " If a cultivator doesn''t have any greed, how can he strive forward?"


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she sighed. " Well, Although we managed to remove Liang Yao, there are still many problems we are going to face."


    " And one of them is managing the Medicinal Hall. After Liang Yao, Who is going to handle it?"


    Long Ming pondered when heard Xia Yuqing''s question. " Well, For the time being, How about I handle it?"


    " You?" Xia Yuqing''s brows twitched. " You are already learning the Rune Inscriptions, along with managing the Crafting Hall. Now, you want the Medicinal Hall too?"


    " Well, As long as I show my capacity, wouldn''t that be enough?" Long Ming grinned. " Also, I managed to refine some high grade Violet Spirit Pills today. I am pretty confident regarding my ability."


    Xia Yuqing turned speechless when she heard Long Ming. She turned around and held the block of ice that contained the soul of Liang Yao. " You¡­ You shouldn''t put your life in danger like that again. What would have happened if¡­"


    Long Ming was startled, and then a grin appeared on his face. " Hmm? Master is truly so caring. My heart is melting from joy and love."


    Suddenly, an icy sword appeared in front of Long Ming, pointing at him. " If your heart is melting like that, I can freeze it."


    " Haha, Master, I was just joking." Long Ming hurriedly took a step back as he answered. But then, he suddenly saw two blurs of light as Mu Qingliang and Ming Yuexin appeared before him.


    " Bastard! You are fine!"


    Mu Qinglian''s body moved as she hugged Long Ming tightly. Long Ming was shocked when he felt the overwhelming concern and worries of Mu Qinglian.


    " Hey¡­ Senior Sister, I am really fine. You don''t need to worry¡­" Long Ming whispered. He felt Mu Qinglian clenching his shoulders for a moment before she let him go.


    Her expression changed instantly as she looked at Long Ming with a calm face. " You should at least inform me and Master before pulling out such a crazy act."


    " Indeed, I felt my heart nearly stop when I saw you on the ground like that." Ming Yuexin also joined the fray as she red at Long Ming.


    [ Ding! Favorability of Ming Yuexin reached 85 points! Host gets 5000 AP!]


    [ Ding! Favorability of Mu Qinglian reached 90 points! Host gets 10000 AP!]


    [ Ding! Favorability of Xia Yuqing reached 79 points! Host gets 10000 AP!]


    [ Ding! Favorability of Chu Li reached 95! Host gets 15000 AP!]


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows when he saw that. What shocked him more was the favorability of Chu Li.


    '' Mm, I shouldn''t take advantage of my junior sister like that.'' Long Ming mumbled inwardly. But when he looked at Chu Li, he could see the overwhelming admiration toward himself.


    However, what shocked him more was the subtle expression of desire that couldn''t be hidden from his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    '' But then, I guess I can still guide her in her cultivation and let her experience the pleasure and love the world could offer.''


    '' Haha, such a responsible Senior Brother I am.'' He added in his heart.


    " Alright, Take care of the Medicinal Hall. And, don''t forget that the money that Liang Yao embezzled belonged to the sect." Xia Yuqing spoke,


    " Don''t worry, Master. I am not such a petty robber." Long Ming chuckled. " Alright, Ladies. Since I made you all distressed today, today''s food and wine are on me. Let''s have a feast, shall we?"


    Xia Yuqing halted her step for a moment. But realizing it was probably meant for others, she shook her head and disappeared.


    However, that subtle action didn''t escaped from Long Ming''s eyes at all.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Damn it! So this is the new Four Seasons True Wine! This is so marvelous!"


    " Haha, This roasted chicken is awesome! Damn, the spiciness is hitting right!"


    " Is this really the Colored Gill Fish soup? Why is it so tasty?!"


    The Solitary Flower Peak was filled with the chatter and noise of various girls. Mu Qinglian, Ming Yuexin, Xiao''er, and Chu Li enjoyed the food and wine prepared by Long Ming.


    But Long Ming was busy in cracking the runic lock of Liang Yao''s spatial ring. His Treasured Jade Brush worked as his spiritual qi flowed into its tip. He slowly carved one after another rune on the ring, breaking the locking mechanism one by one.


    It didn''t take much time before Long Ming cracked the lock open. His spiritual qi flowed as he sensed inside the spatial ring.


    " Ho-Holy shit! Liang Yao seized this much?" Long Ming was shocked when he saw the contents.


    Inside the ring, at least five million High grade spirit stones was lying around. Not to mention, there were various medicinal herbs and pills stored inside it.


    There was an abundance of medicinal pills, even some rare Ten Millenia old Medicinal Herbs.


    However, what interested Long Ming more was the ancient pill refinement tomes and a Noble grade Cauldron. What''s more, it was an ancient Innate type Noble grade treasure, which is much better than the Acquired type Noble grade treasures.


    The reason was because Innate type Noble grade treasures were in fact, refined with the blood and essence of an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator. A single Innate type treasure can beat a dozen Acquired type treasures of the same grade.


    " HAHA! Such an unexpected windfall. To think I will get a whole mountain of treasure. With this Noble grade cauldron, I can easily refine various pills as I desire. And these medicinal records will help me to improve my alchemy."


    It looks like Liang Yao stored all her treasures in that ring, which she kept on her body all the time. However, Long Ming is the one who got the most benefit now.


    " Now, All that remained was to uncover her real identity." Long Ming mumbled. " But before that¡­"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    The ice crystal shattered as Liang Yao''s soul turned into a wisp of ck smoke. Xia Yuqing snorted when she saw that. " A soul restriction, huh? But I already know who was behind this."


    " No matter what, Four Seasons Valley isn''t something these fuckers can do anything they wish."


    Suddenly, her door was knocked as an olddy entered with a tray. Xia Yuqing was startled. " Aunt Ya, What happened?"


    " Your disciple sent you some dishes." Aunt Ya smiled. " You really got a nice brat, Yuqing."


    Xia Yuqing saw the tray filled with various colorful dishes and a jar of wine. The aroma of the dishes and the fragrance of wine made her stomach rumble.


    '' Ah, He didn''t forget about me at all¡­''


    [ Ding! Xia Yuqing''s favorability reached 80!]

 Chapter 124 Minor Completion

    <h4>Chapter 124 Minor Completion</h4>


    Soon, The news of Liang Yao''s scandal spread across the entire Four Seasons Valley. Many disciples couldn''t believe what they heard.


    " So, Elder Liang Yao was a spy? She embezzled our sect''s resources?"


    " Not only that, but she also harmed many of our talented disciples."


    " Now you said, didn''t there was a rumor a senior sister of Medicinal hall died mysteriously? The rumor was that she got a secret from Elder Liang, therefor, she got killed."


    " I thought it was merely a rumor. However, now I think, it might be true."


    " Senior Brother Long is really something."


    " Yeah, to think he managed to dig out a rat like Liang Yao."


    Soon, Long Ming became another hot topic in the Four Seasons Valley. However, currently, this hot topic was studying alchemy in the Solitary Flower Peak, while chatting with beauties.


    " Brother Long, Don''t tell me you are going to practice Alchemy now?" Ming Yuexin suddenly asked.


    " Huh? Why not?" Long Ming chuckled. " Who knows? Maybe I find some beauty in rare illness. Then, I will cure it, and her grandfather will give her hands to me?"


    " You only think about women and women, nothing more." Mu QInglian snorted as she threw her chopsticks at Long Ming. Long Mingughed as he dodged the attack.


    " Well, Is there anything wrong with it? After all, Everyone''s desires are different." Long Ming looked at the sky as heughed lightly. " I wish to be like an immortal, unfettered and free as a cloud. Enjoying whatever I can, and doing whatever I want."


    Ming Yuexin grinned. " Brother Long, even clouds have a silver lining. Don''t you know? Beauty and Wine is the grave of the sword?"


    " Grave of the sword?" Long Ming chuckled in return. " Why not lie in such a beautiful grave, filled with the allure of women and the fragrance of wine? Rather than living while sitting on a stone and fearing tribtions, I would rather die such a grandiose death."


    Everyone was shocked when they heard Long Ming. Mu Qinglian looked at him as she smiled. " Well, I am afraid it''s not as easy as you think."


    " Not matter what, you will still be shackled by many things. Believe me, Long Ming, You aren''t as apathetic as you think you are. You also¡­ fear death¡­"


    Long Ming remained silent at the remark of Mu Qinglian. After that, Ming Yuxin changed the topic. " Brother Long, I have improved my swordsmanship by a notch. However, I think it would be better if I consult with you."


    " What do you think? Shall we have a round or two?"


    " Haha, Is that so?" Long Ming pondered. " Well, How about tomorrow? I am thinking of practicing alchemy and rune inscriptions tonight. Besides, I need to handle both the Medicinal Hall and Crafting Hall by now."


    " Alright, Senior Brother. We can do it whenever you want." Ming Yuexin spoke. Her cheeks turned a bit pink as she added.


    " You cane to my abode any time. I would like to have a nice spar with you."


    Mu Qinglian blinked as she looked at Ming Yuexin with wide eyes. Even Chu Li and Xiao''er couldn''t help but giggle.


    " Damn it, You all ¡­" Mu QInglian snorted as she got up. However, one could see anxiousness in her eyes.


    " Long Ming, The Imperial Tournament is iing. You better don''t ck off and increase your strength. Azure Sun Sacred realm is filled with perils, where you need both strength and caution."


    Long Ming nodded. " I understand, Senior Sister. Don''t worry, I will do my best."


    After bidding all of them farewell, Long Ming scrolled the skills and rewards he got. What made him happy was the new archery skill, Hundred Flower Arrows.


    He pulled out the Illusory Lightning as his fist tightly grasped it. A dreamy light shed on the bow as its string filled with Fragrant Yin Qi, turning into a string of purple lightning.


    Long Ming tugged the bowstring as he pulled it, making the bow arch. His Fragrant Yin Qi condensed into a powerful arrow, pulsing with immense strength.


    The arrow kept bing bigger and bigger as Long Ming''s Fragrant Yin Qi kept charging inside it. His Archery Intent enveloped the arrow, giving it a pulsing sharpness.


    Just by looking at the arrow, one could feel the piercing sharpness of it. Suddenly, Long Ming released the arrow as it turned into a streak of purple lightning.


    However, when it reached its peak, it suddenly exploded like a firework as a beautiful flower appeared in the sky. The petals of the flower scattered as they enveloped arge area, falling down from the sky like rain.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    However, each of those petals contained immense strength, with terrifying piercing capabilities. As beautiful as it looked, it was nothing more than a rain of death itself.


    Long Ming looked at the power of Hundred Flower Arrows as he nodded with satisfaction. He only learned the ability and used it casually. With his mind, he can turn it into a powerful single target attack and an AoE attack as he wish.


    And after long, he was finally happy to have a skill rted to archery. In fact, he liked it more than the sword techniques he had.


    Why go for open conflict when you can kill your target from far away?


    After practicing the Hundred Flower Arrows, Long Ming looked at the Millenium Mountain Spirit Essence which he got from Ren Xian. It was an important resource that will help him cultivate the Great Mystic Moutain Physique.


    Currently, Long Ming crossed the Initial Realm and reached the threshold of the Minor Completion Realm. Among the four stages of physique cultivation, the Minor Completion and Grand Completion stages were like two watersheds.


    If Long Ming reaches the Minor Completion stage, his physical power will reach a new height. Not to mention, since he didn''t get any clearance to ascend to the Primordial Spirit Realm, it would be better to increase the power of his physique.


    The moment Long Ming held the Millenium Mountain Spirit Essence, he felt his arm would rip from the weight itself. It was the same as he was trying to lift a mountain.


    However, his Great Mystic Mountain Phyqiue erupted from his body as a gigantic radiant mountain appeared behind Long Ming. The mountain peaks soared to the sky and covered with mystical fog. The dense energy circted the mountain with an aura of auspiciousness filled the entire mountain.


    Long Ming felt his blood and meridians turning into heavy granite stones as he absorbed the essence. He felt the weight of his body increased by a hundred folds, making him crush entirely.


    He gritted his teeth as he circted the essence inside his body, using it to temper the Great Mystic Mountain Physique. The mountain behind Long Ming became more and more clear as it absorbed the essence.


    However, Long Ming felt his entire body getting ripped by the sheer force and weight of that essence. His flesh cracked up as blood flowed out. However, even the volume of the blood became so much that it was rolling out like crimson tar.


    The drops of blood that fell on the ground, caved the soil inwards. Long Ming felt his body sinking into the ground, even his soul trembled from the pressure.


    However, Long Ming persisted while gritting his teeth. A few hours passed as all the essence waspletely absorbed. Long Ming felt he could ascend to the Minor Completion stage anytime he wanted. However, he halted his breakthrough.


    Dry skin and blood fell like a snake shedding its skin. Slowly, Long Ming''s fair skin appeared,pletely fine as before. Stretching his arms, he could feel the bones cracking and his strength was even more than before.


    " Ahh, This is really a refreshing feeling. I guess I need to research the Azure Sun Secret Realm before stepping in." Long Ming still remembered the warning from Jiang Wanxue and Mu Qinglian.


    He decided that it would be better if he took some precautions. As he was about to return to his abode, he saw Chu Li standing outside. She wore a pretty fancy dress, but it was sleeveless, giving Long Ming a glimpse of her beautiful arms.


    " Umm, Senior Brother, I hope I am not disturbing you."


    " Haha, Not at all." Long Ming looked at Chu Li as he smiled. " What brings you to me at this hour, Chu Li."


    " Well, I got some confusion regarding the me Dragon''s Breath and Soaring Water Moon Art blending. I wonder if you can guide me?"


    Long Ming looked at Chu Li as a wide grin appeared on his face. " Well, Certainly, Chu Li. After all, I am a responsible Senior Brother."


    " Besides, This is just evening. We have the entire night."


    Chu Li was startled when she heard Long Ming. However, a smile blossomed on her face. " Sure, Senior Brother Long. I would do my best to learn from you thoroughly."


    [ Ding! A few constetions grabbed their popcorn for the uing scene]

 Chapter 125 Wanna Dual Cultivate? (R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 125 Wanna Dual Cultivate? (R-18)</h4>


    Entering his abode, Long Ming looked at the flushed face of Chu Li. " Well, I can see that you already reached the Peak of Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Your foundation ispletely solidified, right?"


    " Yes, Brother Long. I have already solidified my foundation. Also, my Spiritual Qi has be much more sharper." Chu Li spoke. " However, When I am trying to control the mes for alchemy, I feel the River Carp Physique is somewhat blocking it."


    " Well, As I said, You need to bnce out both me and water. Only then, you would be able to manipte me as well as water qi."? Long Ming spoke as he looked at Chu Li.


    " Try circting your True Qi using the me Dragon''s Breath."


    Chu Li nodded as she raised her hands. Sparks of mes appeared and it soon turned into a spiraling serpent. Long Ming nodded as he looked at her with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    Suddenly, Chu Li''s body trembled as Long Ming''s finger traced her body. Her ears turned red and she stammered, " Senior Brother¡­"


    " I am showing you the cirction path of me Dragon''s Breath." Long Ming grinned. However, while tracking her cirction path, he secretly used his Ecstatic Cloud Fingers.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi sparked on his finger, giving a weird wave of pleasure to Chu Li''s body. She clenched her fist as she tried to suppress her feelings. However, a sweet moan still escaped from her lips.


    "Nnnngh¡­"


    Chu Li bit her lips as she looked down, blushing brightly. However, she didn''t stop Long Ming''s fingers at all.


    Long Ming was definitely not a saint, as he was also taking advantage of Chu Li. However, even with him taking advantage, he taught Chu Li the art of bncing fire and ice. It didn''t take her long before she managed to manipte the mes to refine the pills.


    Long Ming nodded with satisfaction.? " Now, That''s something I like to see. You really got a talent for alchemy, huh?"


    " Hehe, It''s all thanks to Senior Brother." Chu Li grinned. However, remembering Long Ming''s touch, she felt her legs mping again. It was as if the touch of Long Ming ignited atent me in her lower body, making her feel hot and bothered.


    Long Ming looked at her as his grin widened. He knew that Luo Yingying and Chu Li, both of them were A grade beauties. So, since the chance has presented itself, there is no way Long Ming is going to let it go.


    Walking closer to Chu Li, Long Ming looked at her face. He raised her chin as their eyes met.


    " Well, Since you already cleared your doubt, Do you want to go back?"


    It was just a casual question if anyone hears that. However, both Chu Li and Long Ming knew the hiddenyer under that seemingly casual question.


    " Oh¡­ I wonder what Senior Brother wishes more?" Chu Li bit her lips as she looked at Long Ming''s eyes. Looking at those pair of eyes was like looking at a pair of bottomless azure pools of water. They were so attractive that Chu Li felt she might mesmerized by them.


    " What should we do, hm?" Long Ming''s face came near. " How about we admire the moon and talk about flowers?"


    " Oh, I don''t quite understand¡­" Chu Li blushed fiercely. She understands too damn well.


    " Well, Should I be more direct?" Long Ming grinned. " I stumbled upon an ancient technique of dual cultivation. I wonder if Junior Sister is willing to be my dual cultivation partner?"


    Chu Li was stunned when she heard that. Although she knew the meaning behind the first sentence, she thought Long Ming would coarse her a bit more.


    However, to think he will be so direct, leaving her no room to think more. " I¡­ I think¡­"


    But before she could say anything else, Long Ming''s lips sealed her lips. Chu Li was shocked when she felt Long Ming''s kiss on her lips. It was such an electrifying moment, it made her unable to respond to it.


    She could feel Long Ming''s tongue prying open her lips, and slowly teasing her tongue. The more he kissed, the weaker Chu Li''s resistance became. She was unable to let go of the addictive taste of Long Ming''s mouth.


    It was as if Long Ming was giving off an invisible fragrance, that made her blood rush and lust ignited. She didn''t hold back any longer as her arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck as she returned his kiss with equal passion.


    Long Ming held her waist as he lifted her, their lips were still licked with each other. Long Ming lifted her and walked to his bedroom. Their bodies swung in each other''s arms as the clothes fell on the floor.


    " Nngghhh¡­ Brother Long¡­ It feels so¡­"


    Chu Li finally regained a bit of her sanity. But at that moment, she saw that She was lying naked on the bed, and Long Ming''s bare body was pinning her down from the top.


    His tongue moved like a snake slithering, as it traced her cleavage with a line of saliva. Then, Vhu Li closed her eyes as she moaned in pleasure, feeling Long Ming''s lips mping her nipple and nibbling gently.


    " Hnnnghh! Senior Brother¡­.It feels so¡­Goood! I¡­ I can''t hold back anymore¡­"


    " Then just don''t hold back."


    Long Ming grinned as he kissed the breasts of Chu Li sensually, tasting the growing peaches with relish. Her palm moved behind her, lifting her back, and used the Ecstatic Cloud Palm.


    It was as if all the erogenous spots of Chu Li got stimted at once, making her eyes open wide.


    " HNNGHHH! IT''S SO¡­"


    " Hehe, This is only the beginning, junior sister." Long Ming grinned as he picked her. " Tell me, How do you wish to start off? From front of from behind¡­"


    Chu Li was panting with pleasure as her entire body felt like burning with desire. However, when she felt something girthy and hard rubbing against her lower abdomen, she was startled.


    For the first time, she saw a man''s dick in reality, aside from those erotic books. However, touching and feeling it''s pulsing veins, she was shocked.


    " This¡­ Isn''t that a bit too¡­ big?" She couldn''t help but mumbled.


    But the moment she saw Long Ming''s dark staff, the mes in her lower abdomen surged like an inferno. It was the same when an alcoholic suddenly spots the best liquor.


    " Well, you are a bit shy. So, I guess, I will start from behind." Long Ming grinned as he held Chu Li''s waist and turned around. Her smooth butt was raised, rubbing against Long Ming''s cock.


    Chu Li gulped a mouthful of saliva, she could feel the hot iron rod of Long Ming rubbing between her thighs from behind as she was on her all fours.


    Suddenly, her body jerked as she clenched her teeth, Long Ming''s staff pierced her sacred well and pushed inside.


    " Ahnnn! It''s so¡­ Unnghhh!"


    Long Ming didn''t wait as he shoved his entire thing inside her in one go. His spear broke her maiden veil as droplets of blood oozed out. However, that sting of pain remained momentarily, and changed into pleasure as Long Ming began to move his hips.


    " Ahnn! Ahnn! It''s so big! AHNN~"


    Chu Li felt her mind was turning into a much when Long Ming pounded his cock inside her pussy. She could feel the true carnal pleasure as her insides were grinding against Long Ming''s manhood.


    Long Ming suddenly pulled the arms of Chu Li from behind, hodling them as reins as his crotch kissed her ass with every thrust. Holding her arms, his thrusts became faster and deeper, hitting ces that Chu Li could never have dreamed of.


    The sound of flesh pping together, along with Chu Lu''s sweet moans, filled the room with the scent of lust and desire.


    " Hnnngh! Senior¡­Brother¡­Your cock will turn my pussy¡­inside out¡­" Chu Li couldn''t even finish her sentence as Long Ming gave a deep thrust, making her moan even more.


    The wave of pleasure, Long Ming''s touch, everything was like an abyss of pleasure, dragging her to the deepest parts. However, she was willing to plunge into it.


    " Hueekk¡­ It feels so¡­ Ahnn¡­Nnghh¡­.Weird¡­"


    Long Ming grinned as he increased his pace. He could feel the inner walls of Chu Li tightening around his rod, making him even more stimted. The bedsheet was already wet with Chu Li''s dripping juice. But Long Ming kept going on.


    Chu Li couldn''t stay on her knees as she felt her legs going weak. Her entire body fell on the bed, while Long Ming was lying on her back, their lower bodies still connected.


    Along with lust, she could feel a strange warmth and protection from Long Ming being on her back like that.


    What''s more, she could feel a connection with Long Ming''s energy, as Fragrant Yin Qi created a circuit between their bodies. Long Ming could feel the gushing Water Qi entering his body as he kept pounding her.


    The Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art activated as it heightened their pleasure, along with their dual cultivation session.


    " Haah! Chu Li¡­ I am about to¡­"


    " Ahnnn! I am¡­ I am cumming again!"


    Chu Li bit the bedsheets as she felt a gush of warm fluid filling her womb. With each pulse, she could feel another load getting dumped inside her.


    However, along with Long Ming''s essence, she also received energy from his body. She already started to show signs of a breakthrough in True Core Formation Realm.


    " Haah¡­Haa¡­I¡­love dual cultivation."


    [ Ding! Host conquered Chu Li! Host gets a Dark Gold Rank Chest!]

 Chapter 126 Sparring With Mu Qinglian

    <h4>Chapter 126 Sparring With Mu Qinglian</h4>


    '' Hmm, I wonder if he is alright. Well, As a responsible wif¡­Senior Sister, I am checking him in the early morning.''


    Mu Qinglian hummed as she flew toward the Solitary Flower Peak. It was the morning ofte autumn, the sky was clear and bright, with sunlight shining the dew drops on the leaves and flowers.


    As Mu Qingliannded on the mountain peak, her smile turned stiff. She noticed Chu Li was sitting in the courtyard, meditating in the early morning. A blue colored carp revolved around her, absorbing the Water Qi. Not to mention, her aura was much more robust than before.


    '' She¡­ She already reached True Core Formation Realm?'' It''s been three days at most!'' Mu Qinglian was shocked. But what made her even more shocked was the attire of Chu Li.


    She was just wearing a short, loose dress, which could be even considered as a nightgown. Wearing such a thing in Long Ming''s courtyard, really made Mu Qinglian speechless.


    She hid her aura and observed Chu Li. Mu Qinglian saw Xiao''ering toward Chu Li with a small basin of warm water.


    " Sister Chu, You must be tired. Please, make yourself fresh." Xiao''er smiled. Chu Li opened her eyes as she hurriedly spoke. " Ah, Sister Xiao''er, You don''t need to do all this for me. I can fetch water myself."


    " Hehe, I am Young Master''s maid. The doing the chores of the house in my duty, you know?" Xiao''er smiled.


    " But since you are here¡­" Xiao''er grinned as she spoke. "You guys were really loudst night."


    Chu Li''s ears turned red when he heard that. " I¡­ It wasn''t¡­"


    " Hehe, Don''t worry, Sister Chu. Didn''t your cultivation also advance?" Xiao''er winked. " It was simply dual cultivation after all."


    " Well¡­"


    Chu Li was surprised by the casual attitude of Xiao''er. Maybe it wasn''t Long Mong''s first time doing such things. However, the next line made her stumble once again.


    " So, You like it from behind, huh?"


    Chu Li almost choked when she heard Xiao''er''s question. " SISTER! YO-YOU SHOULDN''T BE SO DIRECT!"


    " Hehe¡­"


    " Alright, Xiao''er, You have teased Chu Li enough."


    Both of them turned around and saw Long Ming walking outside. Yawning, he looked at them and grinned. " Xiao''er, Since when did you be such a teasy person?"


    " Hehe, Maybe I after being your maid?" Xiao''er chuckled. But both girls gazed at Long Ming, who just woke up and stood topless. The sunlight made his fair body look even more masculine, his muscles were well-defined and not of a pretty boy.


    Suddenly, Long Ming blinked as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed with a mysterious light. Crossing his arms, he leaned on the wall, and a light grin appeared on his face.


    " Senior Sister, Till when you are going to eavesdrop?"


    Chu Li and Xiao''er were shocked when they heard Long Ming. They used their divine sense, but they couldn''t find a trace of anyone else at all. However, after Long Ming said that, Mu Qinglian finally emerged from the shadows.


    " Hehe, Who would have thought my junior brother is praying with flowers instead of cultivating with diligence?" She spoke with a hint of mockery.


    " Ahhh!"


    Chu Li was startled by the sudden appearance of Mu Qinglian. When she realized her attire, she bowed and rushed inside the house immediately. However, Long Ming didn''t bother to cover his topless body at all.


    Walking into the garden, he stretched his body. " Well, I think I am cultivating with enough diligence though. And, why not have some fun, instead of sitting on stone and absorbing energy?"


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming shivered when he saw a smile blossoming on Mu Qinglian''s face. She patted her fist with her palm, walking toward Long Ming with a bright smile. " Then, How about I entertain you, Junior Brother Long?"


    " Huh? Wait! Senior Sister¡­"


    But it was toote. Mu Qinglian''s body moved as she threw her punch at Long Ming. A spiraling qi filled with frost energy covered her fist, charging at Long Ming with powerful momentum.


    However, this time, Long Ming didn''t back away. His Scarlet Yang Qi burst out as he used the technique he taught to Chu Li.


    " me Dragon''s Breath!"


    " Frozen Crystal Fist!"


    mes coiled around Long Ming''s fist like a gigantic dragon as it shot at Mu Qinglian''s icy fist.


    The dragon of me roared, its mouth chomped down the spiraling frost qi. Although it managed to dissipate most of the frost qi, Mu Qinglian''s attack still reached Long Ming.


    " Crimson Yang Battle Armor!"


    A crimson colored armor appeared on Long Ming''s body, blocking Mu Qinglian''s fist.


    *BOOM*


    Long Ming shot out as Mu Qinglian''s punch reached his body. Cracks appeared on his armor like spiderwebs as he got shot into the air. However, filling his body, he somersaulted andnded on his feet.


    " Hmm, You have improved quite a lot." Mu Qinglian chuckled. " But not by that much."


    Her body moved again as if she was one with the wind itself. This time, several Frozen Crystal Fists appeared before Long Ming, attacking him like a barrage.


    " Hmph! I won''t just sit back and do nothing." Long Ming''s left fist shed with Crimson Yang Qi while his right fist shone with fragrant Yin Qi.


    " Crimson me Dragon Fist!"


    " Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm!"


    Thanks to Long Ming''s formidable spiritual qi along with his Eternal True Spirit Art, he can divert his attention andunch two different types of battle techniques at the same time.


    Using both techniques, he started to counter the attacks of Mu Qinglian. The Crimson me Dragon Fist carried Fire Qi mixed with Crimson Yang Qi, breaking the frost like stones.


    Meanwhile, the Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm bypassed all the attacks and targeted Mu Qinglian''s body.


    *BAM BAM BAM BAM*


    Mu Qinglian was also surprised when she saw the fighting ability of Long Ming. Long Ming twisted his body as his right palmnded on Mu Qinglian''s body.


    " Ughh! That was pretty¡­nice."


    Mu Qinglian took a few steps back as she bit her lips. Suddenly, her aura surged like a tidal wave, making Long Mimg''s pupils dte.


    " I was right. You weren''t even fighting seriously." Long Ming gave a bitter smile. But then, he readied his fist as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " But, We can''t just conclude our fight like this, right?"


    Mu QInglian was stunned when she heard Long Ming. A smile crept on her face.


    " I see. I guess you are really the rightful inheritor of True Disciple. Master didn''t make any error at all."


    The aura of Mu Qinglian almost became tangible as several palms condensed in the sky. One was made of scorching me, one was made of spiraling mist and wind, the third one was like a palm made of crystal ice while the fourth one is filled with blood and vitality. And other than those major four, there are also many images condensed from True Qi, looming over Long Ming to attack.


    " Four Seasons Great Changing Fist." Long Ming mumbled as it was a technique of Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art.


    This was the true power of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, which can borrow the true qi of Heaven and Earth like that.


    Long Ming understood that Mu Qinglian had been fighting him with the strength of a low-stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm without some low level skills.


    However, now she was showing the power of Peak of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, with a technique of Imperial ss.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he activated his Great Mystic Mountain Physique activated. A heavy aura seeped out from his body as an image of a gigantic mountain range appeared above him, the peaks covered with mysterious fog.


    " I see, So this is the physique you are cultivating, huh?" Mu Qinglian stepped forward,unching his attack. " Let''s see how powerful it is."


    " Great Mystic Mountain Physique! Mountain Moving Palm!"


    Suddenly, Xiao''er and Chu Li, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, felt the gravity around them shifting. It was as if some invisible weight weighing on them, making their feet sink in the ground.


    Long Ming felt like he was carrying the entire weight of a mountain. Whates with formidable weight? An unparalleled force!


    Along with his physique, Long Ming also used his Rushing Lightning Steps.


    Although the Great Mystic Mountain Body gives a paramount weight and power to Long Ming, it also decreases his agility by a great margin. However, with a technique like Rushing Lightning Steps, he could turn this disadvantage into an advantage.


    Great mass meets powerful momentum, thebination is powerful enough to shatter any obstacle in its way.


    Palms of several elements shone as they shrouded the sky, falling on Long Ming like meteors. However, the mountain behind Long Ming shifted as its peaks shone with the mist covering it.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming disappeared from his position, leaving behind some faint lightning arcs. Like a powerful force, he shattered the Four Seasons Great Changing Palm with his physique like crushing stones and jade.


    His palm is truly like a shifting mountain and crashing on Mu Qinglian''s attack, making them destroy midway. However, Mu Qinglian didn''t pause as she kept attacking Long Ming, with even more power.


    Suddenly, Long Ming disappeared from his position, like vanishing in thin air. Mu Qinglian felt a shiver in her body, a crisis of danger rmed her.


    Her body shone with a resplendent light, making her look like a sacred goddess. Her palm stuck out the her right side, like she was attacking to empty space.


    However, the attacknded as Long Ming''s figure emerged. The moment the palm stuck into his body, Long Ming felt his entire body shatter in that instance.


    The Great Mystic Mountain Physique shook as cracks appeared on the mirage of the mountain.


    Like a meteor, he crashed on the ground, making a deep crater. Coughing a mouthful of blood, a heavy dizziness assaulted Long Ming.


    '' Th-That power¡­'' He felt like his bones were shattered in that instance. But a strange thought filled his mind.


    '' Ah¡­ She also has a physique, along with her real cultivation is at¡­Harmonization Realm.''


    " Long Ming!!"


    Mu Qinglian''s aura vanished as her expression changed before she came rushing to help Long Ming.

 Chapter 127 Blood Phoenix Sacred Body

    <h4>Chapter 127 Blood Phoenix Sacred Body</h4>


    Long Ming felt like his whole body turned into a statue, unable to move a single muscle at all. Not to mention, he also realized that even the defense of Great Mystic Mountain Physique.


    His body was covered with blood, and half of his bones were crushed. Thest thing he saw was Mu Qinglian charging toward him with a concerned face.


    Slumbering in darkness, Long Ming sighed in defeat. He could see the Nether Dragon inside his divine sea circting around the image of the divine mountain.


    As Long Ming used the Great Mystic Mountain Physique, he matched against the techniques of Mu Qinglian. After all, it''s an Imperial grade physique that almost reached the stage of Minor Completion stage.


    He chose to use the Spatial Light Physique to teleport beside Mu Qinglian, giving her a powerful blow. Such a sneak attack would be unblockable by an ordinary Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    Unfortunately, Mu Qinglian was no ordinary cultivator. She also got a special physique that she used out of her instinct. Not to mention, her cultivation was at Harmonization Realm.


    '' Haah, Even after all this, she was still holding back, huh?'' Long Ming smiled bitterly. It was unknown how much time passed, but Long Ming slowly opened his eyes.


    " Ugh, Where am I?"


    Long Ming mumbled as he looked around. The smell of medicinal herbs was strong as most of his wounds were healed.


    " Young Master, You woke up!"


    " Senior Brother Long, Are you alright?!"


    Long Ming saw Xiao''er and Chu Li, getting up slowly as he clutched his head. " Urrgh, What happened?"


    " Young Master, You got seriously injured in the spar with Saintess Mu. She held you and rushed to the Medicinal Hall to treat your injuries." Xiao''er spoke.


    " Indeed, She was so anxious after she identally hit you. But after your treatment started, she turned around and left." Chu Li added.


    " She left? Just like that?" Long Ming felt something was amiss. Xiao''er shook her head.


    " She left in a sour mood. Her eyes were moist as she was ming herself. She only told us that she was extremely apologetic for her attack."


    Long Ming was shocked when he heard that. Judging from Mu Qinglian''s reaction, she must be feeling guilty now. She was so guilty that she didn''t even say sorry to Long Ming on his face.


    Long Ming slowly got up as he tried to walk. However, the rampaging energy that erupted from Mu Qinglian''s body was still inside Long Ming''s body.


    " Damn, Just what kind of physique was that? Don''t tell me it was an Imperial Grade physique?" Long Ming grumbled.


    " Young Master, You should take a rest." Xiao''er became anxious. Chu Li also nodded. " Indeed, Senior Brother. You are injured. You should¡­"


    " No need. I am fine." Long Ming waved his hands. " Actually, How long did I sleep?"


    " Around Six hours?"


    " What? That long?"


    Long Ming was shocked. He wore his robe and walked outside. " I need to find Sister Mu. I hope she is alright."


    To his shock, Long Ming didn''t find any trace of Mu Qinglian in the Four Seasons Valley. As he was still searching for Mu Qinglian, he suddenly got a message from Xia Yuqing.


    When Long Ming reached the Deste Winter Hall, Xia Yuqing was sitting her seat, waiting for Long Ming.


    " Are you alright? I heard you got injured while sparring with Mu Qinglian?" Xia Yuqing asked with a soft voice. " Do you need any type of medicine?"


    Long Ming cupped his fist. " I am alright, Master. As for medicinal pills, I got enough from Elder Liang Yao''s spatial ring."


    " But, I can''t seem to find Sister Mu. Where is she?"


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming. " What? Are you angry with her?"


    " Fists and kicks don''t have eyes. Getting injuries in sparring is normal." Long Ming spoke in a mild voice. " However, I am baffled that Sister Mu just left hastily after dropping in Medicinal Hall. She didn''t even¡­"


    Xia Yuqing was surprised when she saw Long Ming''s understanding nature. She sighed. " Don''t talk about that girl. She was so guilty and embarrassed of her action that she ran away from the sect and went to the Azure Fragrance City."


    " Azure Fragrance City? Where the Azure Sun Sacred Realm is located?" Long Ming was shocked. " Why so abruptly? I mean, there is a few days of time till the Azure Sun Secret Realm opens, right?"


    " That is true. However, she ran away because she didn''t wish to face you." Xia Yuqing rubbed her forehead. " As I said, she was just too¡­guilty."


    Long Ming''s turned odd when he heard that. No matter what, the reaction of Mu Qinglian was a bit excessive, no?


    Although Long Ming was injured severely, it wasn''t any life threatning injury at all. But Mu Qinglian was acting like shemitted some grave crime.


    " What? Are you thinking her actions were a bit excessive?" Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming while pursing her lips.


    " Master, What is her physique? To think it could even prate the defensive barrier of my Great Mystic Mountain Physique." Long Ming spoke in a curious voice.


    " It was Blood Phoenix Sacred Body, one of the upper ss Imperial Body. She already crossed the Minor Physique Tribtion and her Qi Cultivation reached the peak of the Early stage Harmonization Realm."


    " Blood Phoneix Sacred Body? Upper ss Imperial grade physique? Already crossed Minor Physique Tribtion?" Long Ming took a deep breath of air as he tried to calm himself.


    Although Long Ming reached the Minor Completion stage, he still hasn''t undergone the Minor Physique Tribtion. This tribtion was like a test from the heavens, gauging the strength and determination of the master of the physique.


    Physique Tribtions were very dangerous, and the chances of cultivators dying in tribtion are very high. The higher the grade of physique, the more powerful tribtion will be.


    Long Ming could initiate his Minor Physique Tribtion at any time. But he was suppressing it to refine his Great Mystic Mountain Body a bit more before trying to cross the tribtion.


    " Only three years. She took only three years to reach the Harmonization Realm along with Minor Completion Blood Phoneix Sacred Body." Xia Yuqing chuckled. " Do you know when I got violent when you asked me the questions about special physique for the first time?"


    " It was because I was still suspicious of you at that time. The Blood Phoneix Sacred Body was the ultimate secret of Mu Qinglian. Unless she got power enough to protect itself, the revtion about her special physique could potentially harm her and our sect."


    " She only used the power of her physique in extremely dire situations. So, not many knew about her physique."


    " Blood Phoneix Sacred Body is a powerful Imperial grade Physique. It refines one''s blood and vitality, making it soar like a phoenix. The vitality and stamina be inexhaustible, making a cultivator fight without taking rest."


    The ocean of vitality and energy ignites one''s potential. With such power, a cultivator can easily fight toe to toe with another cultivator with several stages higher than their cultivation realm.


    Long Ming clicked his tongue when he heard that. No wonder he still felt his blood and Qi was still restless after getting attacked by Mu Qinglian. Her physique was really powerful in its own way.


    '' I guess I need to cross the Minor Physique Tribtion. After that, My Great Mystic Mountain Body will be many times stronger than it''s current power.''


    '' At that time, She couldn''t able to overpower me with her physique alone.'' Long Ming pondered.


    " I understand. I will try my best to surpass her, Master." Long Ming smiled. " But you said she left for the Azure Fragrance City. I don''t know but¡­ I am feeling a bit concerned about her. After all, I will feel bad if she keeps ming herself."


    " So, I wonder if I can depart for the Azure Fragrance City right away?"


    " Impulsive and hot headed, with mood swings." Xia Yuqing hummed. " You can say Mu Qinglian inherited some negative traits of Blood Phoneix Sacred Body. But again, another reason is you, Long Ming. Maybe, she was being like this because it was you¡­"


    " Me? I don''t understand."


    Long Ming was genuinely confused. Is it because Mu Qinglian likes him?


    It was a hunch because of the favorability index of the Max Level Affection System. But Mu Qinglian never showed him any of her feelings, unlike other girls.


    " Roll your right sleeve, Let me see your tattoo."


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard the order of Xia Yuqing. With a nod, he took off the outer robe, showing his chest and arms to Xia Yuqing.


    " I¡­ I said just to roll your sleeve. Why are you taking off your robe?!" Xia Yuqing snapped as a rose colored tint appeared on her cheek. However, when she saw Long Ming''s ck and white spiderlily tattoo, she nodded.


    " Do you know how it came on your body?"


    " I don''t know.''


    Long Ming spoke with an honest tone. He doubted it had something to do with his transmigration.


    Not to mention, Mu Qinglian also had a strange reaction when she saw the tattoo. Now, Xia Yuqing was doing the same.


    " I see¡­ This is quite¡­fascinating." Xia Yuqing nodded. " Anyway, you said you want to depart for the Azure Fragrance City? Hmm, You can go."


    Long Ming became even more confused by Xia Yuqing''s change of topic.? But he nodded in the end. " Very well, I shall take my leave then."


    Xia Yuqing sighed when she saw Long Ming leaving.


    '' So, a match made in heaven really exists, huh? Long Ming isn''t bad for Mu QInglian at all¡­''


    As Long Ming prepared to leave, he handed several jade slips to Xiao''er. It was the details of the Treasure Cloth Crafting Technique and Pill Refinining technique. He asked her to distribute into disciples.


    " Brother Long, I heard you are going to Azure Fragrance City?"


    Long Ming turned around and saw it was Ming Yuexin."


    " Can Ie with you?"

 Chapter 128 Myriad Treasure Refining Tome

    <h4>Chapter 128 Myriad Treasure Refining Tome</h4>


    Ming Yuexin heard the story and she was surprised. " Ahh, So Qinglian already left for the Azure Fragrance City, huh?"


    " Sister Ming, If we hurry up now, Will we be able to catch up to her?" Long Ming asked.


    " I don''t think so." Ming Yuexin pondered. " She already left hours ago. It was unknown if she took a treasured boat or chose to fly over there directly."


    " And even she took the flying boats, it was unknown which route she had taken." She sighed. " So, the only way to meet her is to get to Azure Fragrance City."


    Long Ming looked at the sky as he sighed. Although he could use his Temporal Fate Simtion to gauge where Mu Qinglian is currently at. But then, he felt it would be better to give her some time to adjust herself.


    '' Hmm, This time, when I meet her, I will ask about her true intentions.'' Long Ming mumbled.


    " Well, Sister Ming, Last time, We weren''t able to enjoy the ride in a flying boat. How about we enjoy this one?" Long Ming grinned as he looked at Ming Yuexin.


    " Ah, sure. Why not?" Ming Yuexin smiled back. " Grand Elder said that she will lead the disciples to the Azure Fragrance City after a few days. So, It''s just you and me now¡­"


    Saying that, her cheeks turned slightly pink. Long Ming nodded. " Well, It''s a good thing that we are departing early, I didn''t have a chance to explore around."


    " Hehe, It''s fine, Brother Long." Ming Yuexin smiled brightly. " I am sure both of us going to have a lot of fun."


    As both of them decided, they soon went to the Grand Sky City to catch a flying boat. Time time, Long Ming didn''t hesitate to get the tickets for a luxury flying boat. Each of the ticket costs surpassed 100,000 High grade Spirit Stones.


    However, Thanks to the amount of Spirit Stones Long Ming still got from the treasury of ck Pearl City, he wasvishly rich. Not to mention, the financial condition of Four Seasons Valley is increasing thanks to the mines they won from the bet with Blissful Heaven Temple and the Deep Sea Iron from ck Pearl City.


    The flying boat truly looked like a flying cruise ship, with all sorts of luxury avable on it. Since the Imperial Tournament was going to begin, this flying boat was sought after by many aristocrats.


    Long Ming and Ming Yuexin got two Royal ss rooms, with adequate facilities like a home, a refinement room, and a Qi Gathering Formation for cultivation.


    Soon, the flying boat took off as it soared across the sky. It was moving at a moderate pace, giving the passenger a great view of the surroundings. Ming Yuexin and Long Ming walked on the deck as they looked at the surroundings.


    " In the past, Our sect also used to have such flying boats. But we needed to sell them for some immediate resources. Now, since our financial condition is good, I wonder if Sect Master will bring back those?" Ming Yuexin sighed.


    " Before we reach Azure Fragrance City, we are going to stop at the Red Stone City for sightseeing." Long Ming became amused. "? Sister Ming, do you know about Red Stone City?"


    " Red Stone City is famous for a scenic spot called the Sunshine Lake." Ming Yuexin spoke. " ording to the folklore, It is said that during the Ancient Awakening Era, a part of the sun fell here, making a giganticke of mes. But, as time passed, it turned into a beautifulke."


    " So, Are there any hidden treasures in Sunshine Lake?" Long Ming became interested. Ming Yuexin grinned. " Even if there used to be, it would have taken away tens of thousands of years ago."


    " Currently, it''s a beautiful scenic spot where you can watch sunrise and sunset." Ming Yuexing looked at the fleeting scenery as she spoke. " However, It''s said that Sunshine Lake is useful for Fire attribute cultivators."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming nodded. " Maybe, It will be useful for your Scorching Summer Imperial Technique."


    " Well, Now you mentioned it, How about we have a spar, Brother Long?" Ming Yuexin''s eyes shed with apetitive spirit.


    " Let''s reach the Red Stone City first." Long Mingughed. " Alright, I need to have some rest now. My body is still aching from the beating of Sister Mu."


    " Well, I shall enjoy the scenery here a bit more." Ming Yuexin nodded.


    When Long Ming entered his room, he sat on the bed as he opened his inventory. He got a Star tinum Grade Skill, Myriad Treasure Refining Tome.


    And now, he is going to practice it.


    Refining treasures, many would think about cksmithing when they hear this term. However, even without using mes and a hammer, one can still refine the treasure.


    However, such an unconventional way is much harder to learn than traditional cksmithing. But as a benefit, the practitioner can truly create any treasure as he wishes.


    To be a true treasure refiner, one needs to have talent in three things. First, an extensive knowledge regarding materials. Second, knowledge regarding runes and inscriptions. Lastly, proficient in Spiritual Qi and refinement.


    In fact, Spiritual Qi ys a vital role in refining treasures than True Qi. Be it controlling the refinement or inscribing runes, an abundant amount of Spiritual Qi is necessary.


    For a cultivator, gaining Spiritual Qi is ten times harder than gaining True Qi. The recovery of the Spiritual Qi of the soul takes more time than the recovery of True Qi in the divine sea.


    And most medicinal pills, treasures, or techniques regarding soul or spiritual qi is much rarer than cultivation techniques or physique refining technique.


    '' Hmm, A cultivator can refine a natal weapon once they reach the Nine Transformations of Soul Realm. Such natal weapons are what makes the difference between Acquired and Innate type weapons.'' Long Ming pondered.


    For example, In terms of power, a Noble grade weapon is actually suitable for a Harmonization Realm Cultivator. But that doesn''t mean cultivators of the lower realm can''t use it at all. The only difference is the output of power will be less than the Harmonization Realm Cultivator.


    A newly forged weapon of Noble grade would easily lose to a Noble grade natal weapon refined by a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator.? That''s why ancient Innate type weapons were more sought after than new, Acquired type weapons.


    However, given time, a cultivator can refine those Acquired type weapons into Innate types as long as they reach a higher cultivation realm.


    But then, for most cultivators, Why have a weak weapon and level it up, instead of having a max level weapon from the start?


    However, there is a fatal w in this method.


    '' Cultivation is something that one should solely rely on themselves. No matter how powerful, the resources of others could never be truly yours. The same condition applies to the weapon too.''


    '' You can use a powerful weapon which is refined by others. But it could never match the power of the same grade weapon that you have carried along with you throughout your journey.''


    Long Ming understood the essence of Myriad Treasure Refining Art as his heavenlyprehension already started to digest it.


    He made a wonderful discovery, that he can refine his natal weapon even right now, even before reaching the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm. All thanks to this new skill.


    '' There are so many types of refinement techniques recorded here. For example, Treasure Inscription Technique, me and Lightning Refining Technique, Blood and Spirit Refining Technique¡­'' Long Ming became excited.


    Since he had enough time, he took out some material from his spatial bracelet and put it in front of him.


    His Scarlet Yang Qi zed as Long Ming slowly transformed it into a lump of crimson me. Condensing it, the temperature of the me rose sharply.


    " Oceanside Steel, Deep Sea Iron, and Azure Bronze¡­" Long Ming''s spiritual qi swirled as the metal ores floated up and started to get smelt in the crimson mes.


    Long Ming activated the formations in the refinement room, to help him to refine weapons. The crimson me burned the ores at high temperatures, burning away their impurities and extracting the essence of the ores.


    Long Ming''s spiritual qipressed the essence together, tempering the metal billet with spiritual qi and mes. Slowly, it took the shape of a dagger.


    Long Ming pulled out his Treasured Jade Brush, the spiritual qi concentrated on the nib as he started to inscribe runes on it.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes increased his precision and Temporal Fate Simtion showed him the potential chances of failure. With both of them, Long Ming''s refinement of the dagger became faster and more precise.


    It took two hours as a dazzling dagger appeared in front of Long Ming.


    '' Haha, As expected of the protagonist.'' Long Ming grinned as he flicked his hair. '' I am truly an all rounder. This dagger can easily be a powerful Xuan grade weapon. With a bit more, it could even reach Mystic grade.''


    Long Ming was ted with his result as he stepped out. He decided to show it to Ming Yuexin.


    But when he arrived on the deck, his eyes narrowed when he saw amotion.


    Ming Yuexin was quarreling with someone. It was none other than Liu Ye.

 Chapter 129 Man on Man Action!

    <h4>Chapter 129 Man on Man Action!</h4>


    Long Ming frowned when he saw Liu Ye. But what made him speechless was that the two men lying on the ground, with several bloody cuts on their bodies.


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes were cold, as a formless, sharp aura swirling around her palm. Long ing recognized it instantly, as it was Sword Intent.


    " Bitch! How dare you attack my subordinates! You think your Four Seasons Valley is invincible?!"


    " Invincible or not, Why not decide it right here?" Ming Yuexin spoke with a cold voice.


    " Yo-You!"


    " Alright, Young Master Liu, I know you are not a gentleman. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have quarreled with ady like this."


    Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Long Ming stepped in as he looked at Liu Ye. " How unfortunate. We met each other again."


    " Ha! So, It''s you!"


    Liu Ye''s expression turned grim when he saw Long Ming. Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming as her voice became low.


    " Those bastards, they were trying to take advantage of me." Ming Yuexin chuckled. " I guess they thought I was just a random disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming heard Ming Yuexin as he looked at Liu Ye. " Well, Brother Liu, What is this I am hearing, hm? Care to exin it?"


    " Exin? Exin what?" Liu Ye snorted. " She is just trying to bullshit. I just wanted to invite her to have lunch with me. But, Who would have thought she is such a¡­ Viciousdy."


    " Vicious? You didn''t even see ten percent of my viciousness, Liu Ye." Ming Yuexin snorted.


    " Alright, Let''s calm down." A strange smile appeared on Long Ming''s lips when he heard that. " Young Master Liu Ye, I guess it was all a misunderstanding. How about we end the matter here?"


    " As an apology, how about we join you with your lunch? I hope you aren''t retracting your invitation?"


    " Brother Long, This¡­"


    Ming Yuexin was surprised when she saw Long Ming was bowing down so easily. But, Long Ming only gave him a signal toply. So Ming Yuexin only grumbled and nodded.


    " I apologize, Young Master Liu. I guess I overreacted a bit."


    Long Ming threw a bottle of Golden Healing Pill at the injured subordinate. " Take this as a token of apology."


    Liu Ye felt surprised when Long Ming gave in so easily. In the past, Long Ming always behaved arrogantly, without even lowering his eyes. But today, he was acting so strange.


    " Well, Thanks to Miss Jiang, I don''t have any issues with you, Young Master Liu." Long Ming gave a ttering smile, along with a hidden expression of fear.


    '' Ah¡­ Could it be, Jiang Wanxue did something to Long Ming behind the back? Maybe, that''s why he is scared of me?''


    " Haha, HAHA, It''s alright!" Suddenly, Liu Yeughed, arriving at the conclusion. " Well, My invitation still stands. Come with me. We are going to have avish lunch."


    " Very well."


    Long Ming nodded as he followed Liu Ye with Ming Yuexin.


    " Brother Long, Liu Ye¡­ He isn''t a good person."


    Ming Yuexin made a soul transmission to Long Ming, there was a worried look on her face. "


    " Well, To strike fear in the enemy, why not get into his den and threaten him right there?" Long Ming grinned. " Don''t worry, I won''t let him harm you."


    Ming Yuexin realized that Long Ming probably had some ns. She nodded and followed him.


    Soon, they sat before a long dining table, with all sorts of dishes shining on the gold and silver tters.


    " These dishes are all brimming with True Qi. The meat is fresh from demonic beasts and the herbs are spirit herbs, recently harvested." Liu Ye chuckled.


    " So, Eat till your heart''s content." Liu Yeughed loudly.


    " Well, Since that''s the case, I also need to show you my appreciation." Long Ming chuckled as he took out a jar of wine.


    " This is Four Seasons True Wine, which got the second ce in Wine Gathering. I hope Brother Liu won''t mind it."


    " Haha, Is that so?"


    Liu Ye looked at Long Ming as he smacked his lips. He actually liked the Song of Summer and Winter of Eternal Spring Pce. And he also heard about this Four Seasons True Wine.


    As Long Ming poured the wine, also took out a pill and broke it in half, dissolving it into the wine. He didn''t bother to hide it, doing it in front of everyone.


    " That pill¡­ Why did you mix it in wine?"


    A middle aged man standing behind Liu Ye suddenly spoke, his eyes narrowing at Long Ming''s action. Long Ming chuckled.


    " What? Are you thinking I am adding poison? Haha, Would I do such a thing in front of everyone?" Long Mingughed as he passed the cup to the middle aged man first.


    " You drink it. I am sure you will know if its poison or not."


    The middle aged man seems to be a bodyguard of Liu Ye. Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and realized he was at the mid stage of the Harmonization Realm.


    When he drank the wine, his expression changed as he looked at Long Ming.


    " HAHAHAHAH!"


    Everyone was stunned when they saw the middle aged manughing out loud. " Good! Good wine! I am feeling so happy and ted right now."


    Liu Ye felt that middle aged man''s reaction was a bit excessive. However, it''s confirmed that Long Ming''s wine was genuine.? So, he nodded and took the other cup of wine.


    When he drank the wine, he suddenly felt four distinct vors merging into one, as the vor kept cycling between hot and cold. Not to mention, he also felt a strange sensation, like suddenly lifting up his mood.


    Long Ming also stuffed himself with food, not wasting a minute. After all, who would waste such tasty yet free food?


    " This wine is really delicious! Haha, I agree with Li Fu''s words." Liu Yeughed happily.


    " What was that pill anyway?"


    " Well, Think of this as a taste enhancer." Long Ming winked.


    They talked to each other merrily for a while as Long Ming and Ming Yuexin finished the food. Liu Ye realized something as he hurriedly spoke.


    " Ah, I also need to serve something to match your wine, right? Li Fu, bring the special tea."


    Li Fu gave a sly smile as he nodded. Soon, two cups of tea were served before Long Ming and Ming Yuexin. The fragrance was enough to stir True Qi in someone''s body.


    " This is a special Tea of Holy Qilin City. I hope you like it." Liu Ye spoke. Long Ming looked at it as he nodded.


    " But it will be awkward if we drink tea alone while you drink wine. Brother Liu, You should also join us to drink tea, right?"


    " Well, Since that''s the case¡­ Why not?" Liu Ye was still grinning as he asked Li Fu to get another two servings.


    As Li Fu also joined the table, Long Ming took out another pill and mixed it in tea. " Brother Liu, This is called Stallion Stamina Pill. With a single pill, you will gain arge amount of vigor and stamina, like a Blood Stallion."


    " Haha, is that so?" Liu Ye and Li Fu looked at each other beforeughing out loud. " You really got some good gifts for me, Brother Long."


    '' Keke, This Long Ming is so miserable. Giving me such a pill right before I fuck his junior sister. What will happen if he knows?'' Liu Yeughed in his heart.


    Li Fu closed his eyes ad he nodded. " Mm, This Stallion Stamina Pill is quite something. I am already feeling my blood coursing through my body."


    " I know right? Yawwn¡­" Liu Ye yawned as he stood up. " Strange, Although I feel vigorous, I think I am also feeling a bit¡­ Dizzy."


    " Well, Probably, It''s the effect of Four Seasons True Wine." Long Ming grinned as he also yawned. " I don''t know¡­ Maybe I also ate too much. I am feeling sleepy."


    " Same, Senior Brother. I think we should go and rest."


    Long Ming held Ming Yuexin as he stood up. But before they could walk, Liu Ye slumped on the chair.


    " Young Master."


    Li Fu hurriedly got up as he felt a raging heat inside him.? Long Ming walked to Li Fu. " Let me help you. You should take him on the bed. He needs some rest."


    " This¡­"


    Li Fu felt something was wrong. But he nodded and held Liu Ye to lie on the bed. But then, he suddenly smelled something nice.


    Both Liu Ye and Li Fu looked at Long Ming, who was standing in the room. Ming Yuexin was already gone.


    Long Ming was spraying something in the room, something like a pink colored perfume.


    " Yo-You¡­ What are you doing?"


    Li Fu asked. But he felt his body turning heavy. Liu Ye was now awake again, but he felt his skin turned red already. " Yo-You¡­ How are you¡­alright?"


    " Ah, You mean the Sleeping Drug you mixed in the tea? Yeah, Don''t worry, I didn''t drink it at all." Long Ming grinned as he looked at them.? " And this¡­ This a powerful Harem King''s Personal Aphrodisiac, 100% genuine product!"


    " Wh-What? Aprhodisiac?!"


    Both Li Fu and Liu Ye were stunned. Why Long Ming is using an aphrodisiac. Not to mention, where is Ming Yuexin? Wait, Where are women?


    " Unlike other medicine that needs the unification of yin and yang to pacify the effect, this aphrodisiac can also work on the unification of yang and yang." Long Ming rified.


    Finally, Liu Ye and Li Fu looked at each other with horror as they understood what Long Ming is going to do.


    " Motherfucker!"


    " Bastard! I will skin you alive!"


    Li Fu charged at Long Ming, with a powerful killing intent. But Long Ming just used his Great Mystic Mountain Body and kicked Li Fu.


    After all, Li Fu''s strength got diminished severely thanks to Long Ming''s meticulous n.


    First of all, he fed both of them Happy Moon Pill, lifting their mood and favorability for a short moment.


    Then along with Stallion Stamina Pill which works as an aphrodisiac for men, he secretly uses the Drunken Immortal Grass to make their bodies dizzy and weak.


    Then the final aphrodisiac from the System''s store nailed both Li Fu and Liu Ye.


    Li Fu flew back and crashed on the body. Liu Ye cried out in rm when he felt his body pressed under Li Fu''s body.


    However, the mes they were trying to suppress erupted in that instant, when their bodies touched each other.


    " I won''t watch this Weak Young Master x Buff Bodyguard battle. But don''t worry, I will sure make it record in 4K."


    Long Ming grinned as he vanished from the room. Liu Ye and Li Fu looked at each other with helpless, yet eyes full of desires.


    They ripped each other''s clothes as Liu Ye got pressed down by Li Fu.


    Soon, the room filled with gruntings and pants of two men, with some suspicious movement sounds.


    When Long Ming came back to his room, he suddenly felt someone grasping him from behind.


    " Brother Long¡­ Take me."


    " Ming Yuexin?!!!"

 Chapter 130 Traditional Way Of Treating Aphrodisiac(R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 130 Traditional Way Of Treating Aphrodisiac(R-18)</h4>


    Long Ming already started to make a n to control Liu Ye. After all, Killing him will cause moreplications in his life and for Four Seasons Sect.


    After all, The Blissful Heaven Temple and Zhongye Sect are already hostile toward the Four Seasons Sect. Green Cloud Sect is also not favorable toward Four Seasons Valley.


    Sky Martial Tower is already an old enemy and the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire is no good. Four Seasons Valley is like a big, tasty pie in the middle of nowhere, being the target of various wolves in the surroundings.


    So, instead of having more enemies, Long Ming decided that it would be best to have more allies¡­ Or at least, more neutral factions.


    He actually thought about a different n. However, seeing Liu Ye and Li Fu, such an evil idea sprouted in his heart that he couldn''t stop himself.


    [ Ding! Constetion Demon King of Lust is pleased with Host''s action! You are sponsored with 200 Star Coins!]


    [ Ding! Constetion Lady of Curious Fantasies sponsors you with 200 Star Coins! She is giving you an offer! If you stay there and watch the entire show, you will receive an additional 300 Star Coins!]


    [ Several Constetions are intrigued by Host''s evil idea. The selling of popcorn and drinks increased!]


    [ Several Constetions directing their gaze at the room of Liu Ye and Li Fu]


    However, currently, Long Ming wasn''t concerned with the popping messages.


    Ming Yuexin stood before Long Ming, grabbing his cor tightly as her face was flushed red.


    " Brother Long, I am feeling so hot now¡­ I can feel my mouth turning sticky."


    " Sister Ming, Did I not say not to drink the tea given by Li Fu?" Long Ming''s forehead filled with dark lines when he saw the state of Ming Yuexin.


    " Hehe, I actually I didn''t drink it first. But then¡­ I realized it tasted good, so I drank it¡­ just a bit." Ming Yuexin''s body swayed, making a cute hup. " Mm, Such a strange tea. It''s more potent than wine."


    " Of course, Sister Ming. Both our teas were mixed with strong sedatives and intoxicants. However, they added another thing to your tea. It was aphrodisiac!" Long Ming hurriedly urged.


    " Ahh! So, It''s aphrodisiac!"


    Ming Yuexin nodded as she turned around and started to take off her clothes.


    " Sister Ming! Wh-What are you doing?"


    " What? I am feeling so hot right now." Ming Yuexin snorted lightly. "Besides, Since it''s such a strong aphrodisiac, shouldn''t you help me as the True Disciple?"


    "'' I¡­ I think I should refine some antidotes." Long Ming mumbled as he took out his medicinal cauldron. But Ming Yuexin held his wrist, stopping him right there.


    " Senior Brother, We don''t have time to experiment." Ming Yuexin urged. " Both of us know the conventional way to treat aphrodisiac, right?"


    " WELL!!!"


    Long Ming realized something was amiss. Shouldn''t the male lead press to offer such treatment while the female lead tries to resist? Why the hell opposite thing happening here?


    Not to mention, with Ming Yuexin''s level of power, she shouldn''t have fallen for such a trap after getting warned. Yet¡­


    " Senior brother!!!"


    Ming Yuexin''s call startled Long Ming, who woke up from his stupor. His eyes almost popped out when he saw Ming Yuexin lying on the bed, only wearing her white undergarments.


    " Mmmnn¡­ Senior Brother." Ming Yuexin cooed. " Are you liking that your junior sister is getting tormented like this?"


    " Or perhaps¡­ Something is wrong down there?" Her smile became provoking as she looked at Long Ming''s crotch.


    " Hmph! Since you aren''t afraid of crossing the line, why should I?"


    Ming Yuexin gasped in surprise as Long Ming took off his clothes instantly. The dangling ck snake between his legs turned into a rock-hard dragon pir, greedily pointing its head toward Ming Yuexin.


    " Mmm¡­ It''s so¡­ Big."


    Ming Yuexin bit her lips as she felt her body temperature increase by a few more degrees. Seeing Long Ming without his clothes is truly an arousing delight for her.


    " Oh, Ming Yuexin, You shouldn''t have provoked me like that." Long Ming''s lips bloomed with an evil grin as he jumped on the bed, pressing Ming Yuexin under him.


    " Well, I certainly don''t regret my action, Brother Long~"


    Ming Yuexin''s palm cupped Long Ming''s face as she looked at him with affection and desire. " Since the day you gave me a new life, I was ready to repay your favor."


    Long Ming was shocked when he heard that. His face lowered as he kissed Ming Yuexin''s neck gently, his tongue teasing her sensitive spots. " But¡­ The repayment could have been something else."


    " Mnnnn¡­"


    Ming Yuexin moaned lightly, her arms wrapped around Long Ming''s back tightly.


    " Yeahh¡­ It would be different¡­ If I hadn''t fallen in love with you." Ming Yuexin whimpered. " But I fell¡­ I fell in love with you, Senior Brother Long."


    " But I am not a righteous man, Ming Yuexin." Long Ming kept kissing Ming Yuexin more and more, his fingers unhooking her bra in a slow yet experienced way.


    " I am entangled with so many women¡­ I couldn''t be bound with a singledy at all."


    " I see¡­"


    Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming. Her clear eyes met with his mysterious azure eyes.


    "It''s alright." Ming Yuexin''s smile blossomed. " As long as you keep me in your heart, That would be enough¡­"


    " Very well." Long Ming didn''t waste time any longer.


    " Mnnnghhh!!~"


    Ming Yuexin bit her fingers when Long Ming''s fingers slid between her legs. For the first time, she was lying bare before a man, her own senior brother.


    Long Ming''s gaze was on her wless body, making her feel like he was caressing her body with his eyes.


    " Mnnghh¡­ It feels so¡­ weird¡­ So different than I do¡­"


    Ming Yuexin tried to hide her face with her palms when Long Ming''s fingers yed with her sacred gate.


    It was unknown if Long Ming was that good or if it was t he effect of the aphrodisiac, Ming Yuexin was already dripping wet. When Long Ming''s fingers touched her pink bean, she felt a shock of bliss throughout her body.


    " Well, No matter how much a bad guy I am¡­ I never let my woman feel cold on the bed."


    Long Ming grinned as he positioned himself on Ming Yuexin''s body, the tip of his robust cock was rubbing on the lips of Ming Yuexin''s pussy. Ming Yuexin felt her entire body suddenly crave Long Ming''s touch, his thing to explore inside her.


    " Nngh¡­ It''s so big¡­ Will it¡­ AHNNNN! HEAVENSSSS~"


    Ming Yuexin''s back arched, making the pair or white rabbits jiggle. The thrust of Long Ming''s spear was smooth and wless. However, the sting of pain when it pierced the maiden petal was truly something that Ming Yuexin never experienced.


    At that moment, she realized Long Ming had imed her officially, there was no room to go back.


    Long Ming pushed forward, as a few inches of his rod was still outside. When he moved his hips, he could feel his cock was spreading the inner wall of Ming Yuexin, reaching the depth no one ever reached.


    " Ahnn! It''s in¡­ It''s in¡­ It feels so¡­ Mnnphh!"


    Long Ming''s lips sealed Ming Yuexin''s lips, his fingers crossed with her. Ming slowly started to move his hips, his cock was moving in and out inside Ming Yuexin''s sacred well.


    The movement gave Ming Yuexin a delightful shiver, the kiss of Long Ming gave her an ethereal pleasure.


    " Ming Yuexin¡­ From now on, you are my woman."


    Long Ming''s lips separated from Ming Yuexin''s lips as he gazed at her face, stained with a bit of tear and a lot of bliss.


    " Stay with me forever, alright?"


    " Yes¡­"


    Ming Yuexin hugged Long Ming''s shoulder tightly, giving approval to Long Ming''s action. Long Ming''s slow rhythm slowly caught pace as his hips started to move vigorously.


    *PAA PAA PAA PAA*


    " NNNGHH! It''s¡­It''s hitting so deep¡­"


    Ming Yuexin felt it was too much for her body. Long Ming''s cock was grinding against the pussy wall of Ming Yuexin at a rapid pace.


    It was Ming Yuexin''s first time, but the pleasure she was experiencing almost made her faint.


    " Haah! Haahh!"


    Long Ming''s thrust into Ming Yuexin''spussy created delicate pping sounds, marking his assertive movements. " What happened, Sister Ming?~ Aren''t you a proud sword cultivator?"


    " Ahhhnn! Yes¡­ I am¡­ But¡­ This is¡­ Just too much¡­" Mibg Yuexin couldn''t even speak properly within her moans.


    " Ngghhhh, I am cumming!!"


    Long Ming felt the squirting juice of Ming Yuexin, marking her first defeat. Yet, Long Ming''s stamina and his Incubus''s Bloodline made him go on.


    The Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Spring Arts created a vortex of swirling blossoms around Ming Yuexin and Long Ming, making the both of them exchange their energy.


    The vigorous Yang Qi of Long Ming filled the pours of Ming Yuexin, as Long Ming absorbed the Scorching me Qi and her Sword Comprehension.


    " Hannnhh! Hnnahhh! Senior Brother¡­ Don''t make me wait¡­" Ming Yuexin bit her lips, pleading tenderly before Long Ming. " Please, give me¡­"


    " As you wish¡­"


    " ANNGHHHH!~"


    Long Ming gave a deep thrust, making his tip hit the innermost bud of Ming Yuexin. He felt Ming Yuexin''s sacred well contracting, making a vacuum that was trying to squeeze out his rod.


    " I am cumming!~"


    " AHNNNN!~"


    Ming Yuexin hugged Long Ming tightly as she also came again. Her body trembled, her nails almost digging into Long Ming''s back.


    Long Ming slowly got up, pulling out his cock from her pussy. A gush of thick white fluid oozed out from her sacred well, mixed with a trail of blood.


    " Haah¡­Hahhhh!"


    Ming Yuexin panted, her body covered with sweat. But she looked at Long Ming with a smile.


    " That was¡­too good¡­ Better than I imagined¡­"


    " d to hear that¡­" Long Ming also grinned as hey beside Ming Yuexin. But before long, he felt Ming Yuexin''s fingers teasing his dragon again.


    " Didn''t you say, I am a sword cultivator?" Ming Yuexin grinned.


    " I should really show my senior brother how resilient sword cultivators are¡­"

 Chapter 131 Supreme Natal Sword

    <h4>Chapter 131 Supreme Natal Sword</h4>


    " Mnn¡­ Brother Long¡­"


    Ming Yuexin sitting on the bed gently, her eyes half open. The beads of sweat on her body gleamed lightly under the moonlight from the window. She took a light breath as the tremendous energy from Long Ming flowed in her divine sea.


    Long Ming was also sitting cross legged in front of her, he was refining the Scorching me Qi with his Scarlet Yang Qi. He realized his control over fire increased greatly.


    " Mm, I never thought sex would yield such results." Ming Yuexin spoke in a faint voice. She raised her palm as a burning mist condensed into the shape of a sword.


    " Well, You should thank to my dual cultivation technique, Sister Ming." Long Ming also smiled with closed eyes. His Scarlet Yang Qi became more robust as it circted around him. The thickness of qi increased the temperature of the room.


    " To think I would break through to the Perfection stage of Scorching Summer Sword Art. With that, I can finally use my Burning Volcanic Sword to proper use." Ming Yuexin grinned.


    She didn''t bother to hide her body with bedsheets. Stretching her arms, she yawned lightly.


    " Mm, I am really tired after so many rounds. Besides, The night is still young." Mig Yuexiny on the bed. " Brother Long, Are you not going to sleep with me?"


    Long Ming felt a strange helplessness when he heard that. Like sister, I just took your precious virginity. Yet you are treating this big bad wolf so casually?


    " Hmm, I am going to practice. Not to mention, That Liu Ye also needs a bit of lesson." Long Ming got up and draped his robe on his body.


    " Hehe¡­"


    Ming Yuexin only smiled as she watched Long Ming leaving the room. When his figure vanished, Ming Yuexing rubbed her lips with her fingers while gazing at the red stain on the bedsheet.


    " Haaah¡­ I assured Master to not make any rash decisions in this trip." Ming Yuexin felt like she better get ready for Wu Liang''s scolding.


    '' But then¡­ Perhaps this time, I might get ahead of Little Mu.'' A thought appeared in her mind, making Ming Yuexin chuckle.


    '' Ahhhh¡­. I guess I need to talk with her when we meet. Hehe, Let''s see her reaction.''


    Meanwhile¡­


    [ Ding! Host opened the Star tinum grade Box!]


    [ Ding! Host gets Bright Emperor''s Supreme Sword Art!]


    Suddenly, a scroll appeared before Long Ming, shining with a bright golden light. The sword embryo floating inside his divine sea jumped around when it sensed the scroll.


    Even if Long Ming tried to suppress it, the Dao of Sword from the scroll was too much. Long Ming hurriedly tucked inside his inventory, afraid that it would attract too much attention.


    [ Bright Emperor''s Supreme Sword Art: It''s a powerful sword technique, created by Bright Emperor. It contains his lifelong attainment of sword techniques]


    '' Damn, it''sparable to an Imperial grade technique'' Long Ming''s eyes shone with bright light when he slowlyprehended the initials of the technique.


    He sat cross legged, reading through the scroll as various information poured into his mind.


    Not only it store battle techniques, it also contained his ownprehension of Grand Dao of Brightsky Sword. But Long Ming was attracted to something else, something that made his blood pump in excitement.


    '' The path of supreme sword, the art of forging a true sword using body.'' Long Ming started to read that section with great interest.


    A true sword cultivator can only rely on his own sword. And for them, sword is just an extension of their own body. The assimtion of heart and sword is important for a sword cultivator.


    Using various metals as vessels andprehension as a soul, this technique allows a cultivator to forge a sword within their own body, making it a natal weapon.


    Creating such a sword in the early stage will baptize with the cultivator''s experience and energy. It bes a truepanion of the cultivator, throughout his journey of life and death.


    And when such a sword transforms from an embryo to a full fledge weapon, it bes unparlled among other weapons.


    However, creating such a sword requires an endless amount of resources and an unparalleled talent in sword techniques. Not to mention, one also needs to have a dao heart like an unshakable mountain.


    Long Ming took a deep breath when heprehended all that. The scroll alone was filled with the tremendous pressure of Sword Dao. Even with his Heavenly Comprehension Heart and Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he was having a hard timeprehending the scripture.


    '' This Supreme Natal Sword, I need to refine it no matter what. Such a trump card will definitely help me in the future.'' Long Ming probed.


    Besides, he realized he already had two of the most essential things for creating it.


    First was a huge amount of Azure Mirthil, and second was the Sword Embryo inside his divine sea.


    ''Besides, I can give theprehension of the Brightsky Sword Dao to Ming Yuexin. I am sure it will help her tremendously.''


    Long Ming pondered for a moment as he took out a jade slip. Such jade slips were used to store techniques andprehensions. Long Ming used it as he copied a part of Brightsky Sword Dao.


    However, Long Ming felt his spiritual qi draining rapidly as he copied it to the jade slip.


    It wasn''t just simple copy and paste at all. The higher grade ofw the letter bears, the more demanding the spiritual qi andprehension bes. That''s why, a powerful technique got only a fewpanies besides the original.


    It took half an hour for Long Ming to copy a part of Brightsky Sword Dao to the jade slip. And it already drained half of his spiritual qi.


    After finishing, Long Ming wiped his sweat and got up. He stored the jade slip in his spatial bracelet before going out.


    Then, he walked back to Liu Ye''s residence.? The moment he appeared, the guards around Liu Ye surrounded Long Ming.


    " Bastard! You¡­ You are toe back!"


    Liu Ye appeared before Long Ming, his waist was slightly twisted as he walked while staggering. His facial expression was pale, and twisted like someone squashed a rotten eggnt.


    Li Fu was standing behind Liu Ye, his expression wasical. The fury on his face was acting like a good mask. But Long Ming could see a strange satisfaction under that.


    '' No way! Did that Li Fu guy harbored such intent toward Liu Ye beforehand?''


    Long Ming took a breath of cold air when the thought appeared in his heart.


    " Whoa! Brother Liu, Just a few hours ago, we are chatting and having lunch. Yet, you are pointing weapons at me now?" Long Ming grinned.


    " Mind you, Before you take any wrong step, You need to learn about the consequences."


    Liu Ye''s body trembled when he heard Long Ming''s threat. His eyes were filled with venom, he wished if could skin Long Ming alive and y his flesh.


    However, Long Ming''s calm demeanor made the fear in his heart even bigger.


    " Don''t you think you can escape with your life after doing that?" His tone was icy and filled with malice.


    " Oh, Why not?" Long Mingughed. " I am sure that I will walk out safe and sound."


    Liu Ye was about to erupt, but he halted when Long Ming took out a recording jade and yed with his fingers. He gulped a mouthful of saliva, and his legs almost turned soft.


    " Well, I wonder what will happen if Brother Li and Young Master Liu''s extraordinary sword fighting bes public?" Long Ming snickered. " I am sure it will spread faster than a wildfire."


    " Yo-You! Don''t you dare¡­!!"


    " Why not?" Long Ming chuckled. " Why should I not do it? Hmm, I don''t like being pointed with weapons, you know? What if I drop this jade and it starts ying, hm?"


    " PUT AWAY YOUR WEAPON!"


    Liu Ye roared, making his bodyguards step back. Long Ming grinned as he turned around.


    " Brother Liu is sensible. So, You better support me with all your heart and not scheme with that peanut size brain of yours. Else, This recording jade will rain in the market of Holy Qilin City."


    Liu Ye gnashed his teeth when he saw Long Ming walking away after threatening him casually. Yet, he couldn''t do anything at all.


    " FUCK! I WILL KILL YOU!"


    Liu Ye roared as he clenched his fist. But then, his expression turned horrified when he saw a recording jade rolled to his feet. Just it was about to y, he stomped on it, crushing it thoroughly.


    That rage inside him turned into fear instantly, the sweat drenching his back made him shiver.


    As Long Ming returned to his room, He immersed himself in Myriad Treasure Refining Tome and Bright Emperor''s Supreme Sword Art.


    '' Oh, Wait! Shouldn''t the System''s expiry be near? I should do myst roulette spin.''


    [ Ding! Host consumed 100,000 AP! 10X Roulette is starting!]

 Chapter 132 Azure Fragrance City And Auction

    <h4>Chapter 132 Azure Fragrance City And Auction</h4>


    It took another day before they reached the Azure Fragrance City. The boat had stopped in the Red Stone City earlier, where Long Ming and Ming Yuexin spent their time sightseeing.


    There, they also fetched some cultivation resources that nourish Yang and Fire attributes. After all, the Sunshine Lake is truly a beautiful treasure trove.


    Thanks to the refinement of Scarlet Yang Qi and dual cultivating with Ming Yuexin another few times, Long Ming already reached the Mid stage of the True Core Formation Realm.


    However, the one who made great progress was Ming Yuexin. She already reached the Peak of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    Just in a single day, she achieved more in the path of sword thanks to Long Ming''s jade slip of Brightsky Sword Dao than she could achieve in years. Also, she managed to improve her Scorching Summer Sword Intent.


    Not to mention, Liu Ye didn''t dare to take a step outside after that day. Although Long Ming was rxed after having such good ckmail material, he knew the nature of Liu Ye.


    Unless Long Ming really controlled his mind or killed him, there was no way Liu Ye going to sit still.


    '' Even with the same surname, the Liu Family of Southern Green Mountain and the Liu Family of Holy Qilin City are so different.'' Long Ming clicked his tongue,


    But for now, he will at least remain under some control. Long Ming nodded as he and Ming Yuexin stood before the Azure Fragrance City.


    " Haah, Just like ck Pearl City, Azure Fragrance City used to be under our control. But now, It''s divided between the Purple Cloud Sect and the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire." Ming Yuexin muttered.


    " Hmm, Since Mu Qinglian came here, she must be in the sect abode of Azure Fragrance City."


    " We have a sect abode here?" Long Ming was surprised. Ming Yuexin nodded. " Actually, the current City Lord''s Pce used to be ours. But after the previous generation sect master sold the Azure Fragrance City, the abode was also gone."


    " However, After Sect Master Xia came, she managed to get a medium size abode for our disciples. s, the current abode in front of City Lord''s Mansion is like a firefly before the moon."


    But then, Ming Yuexin clenched her fist. " But with our current improvement, It might only take a few decades before we can regain it. I will do my best to make the Four Seasons Valley the powerful Imperial Sect of the past."


    " Haha, I am sure that day isn''t far away, Sister Ming." Long Ming nodded with approval.


    The management of Azure Fragrance City was pretty strict. If rules aren''t followed, the guards under the city management will apprehend that cultivator.


    Long Ming and Ming Yuexin walked on the city street, which was bustling. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes scanned the surrounding, revealing powerful auras in both open and hidden.


    " As expected. The Azure Sun Secret Realm really attracted the attention of all sects in Eastern Province, huh?" Long Ming clicked his tongue.


    " Why not? Don''t you know, Eastern Province could be called a blessed region even in the entire Rain Dragon Continent. Although most powerful cultivators are in Central Province, the Eastern Province is more resourceful."


    " Not to mention, this secret realm used to be a relic of ancient Four Seasons Valley, built by a Heavenly Emperor. Who would in the right mind won''t attend such an event?"


    " Mm, You are right. However, funny that people still attending the Azure Sun Sacred Realm even after thousands of years." Long Ming chuckled. " I wonder, what are the things that attract people?"


    " Well, There are various ces in Azure Sun Sacred Realm that are beneficial for the cultivators under Harmonization Realm." MIng Yuexin spoke.


    " For example, The Dark Beast Forest of Inner Zone, it''s filled with various demonic beasts. These demonic beasts are much more powerful than the beasts outside. And the resources we get from them are also abundant."


    " Then, there is Ancient Herb Pce, where cultivators contend against each other for millennium old medicinal herbs. Some of hers which couldn''t be found outside are inside the Azure Sun Sacred Realm."


    Long Ming nodded when he heard Ming Yuexin''s exnation. Even after getting plundered every time, Azure Sun Scared Realm is like a treasure trove with endless treasures.


    No wonder people could do anything just to get a spot inside the Azure Sun Sacred Realm. After all, even an ordinary cultivator with no background can score big if his luck allows.


    However, the warning of Jiang Wanxue and Mu Qinglian still rang in Long Ming''s heart.


    '' The cmity of Four Seasons Valley originated in Azure Sun Sacred Realm. But, What exactly it is?" Is it the reason for abnormally high death among Four Seasons Sect disciples?''


    Long Ming pondered about these possibilities. It didn''t take long before they reached the abode of Four Seasons Valley. As the guards saw the tokens of Long Ming and Ming Yuexin, their expressions changed as they hurriedly invited them in.


    " Ahh, Young Master Long, and Young Lady Ming, wee to this humble abode. I am Ah Chong, the caretaker of this abode."


    " Elder Chong, I hope you can make proper arrangements for our stay." Long Ming nodded with a smile.


    " Absolutely, Young Master Long. It will be my pleasure." Ah Chong nodded hurriedly.


    " However, Did Saintess Mu also came here?" Long Ming didn''t waste time and asked the question directly.


    " Indeed, she is also staying here." Ah Chong nodded. " I think she is currently in the Blind Treasure Auction in the southern part of Azure Fragrance City."


    " Blind Treasure Auction?"


    " Indeed. It''s a treasure auction where cultivators need to pick up treasures that are inside the stones. Beside, these stones are very special, it can easily block off the divine sense of a cultivator."


    " But, What kind of treasures are inside the stones?"


    " Abstract Intent Jades." Ah Chong''s voice turned solemn. " Abstract Intent Jades are special types of jades, that contain the natural grand dao of heaven and earth."


    " There are five grades of Abstract Intent Jades. Grade five jades are ordinary ones while grade one jades are extremely rare and valuable." Ah Chong exined.


    " Ah, I know." Ming Yuexin nodded as she continued. " As Elder Chong said, the Abstract Intent Jade contains the natural dao rhythm of heaven and earth."


    " The man made dao treasures can bepatible to some while ipatible to others. But natural treasures got no such restriction."


    " Assume you get a fire type Abstract Intent Jade. Using it, your chances ofprehending the Intent of Fire would increase greatly."


    " The higher grade jades are even more terrifying. Nine Transformations of Soul Realm might show interest in a grade five Abstract Intent Jade."


    '' Ah, I see¡­ I guess it''s the first rock cutting game in the immortal world I am going to attend.'' Long Ming nodded.


    " Very well, Since Senior Sister Mu went there, we will also go there."


    " As you say, Brother Long."


    Long Ming was interested in the event. So, he and Ming Yuexin went to the Blind Treasure Auction.


    The bustling crowd was almost akin to a busy day in Grand Sky City. Long Ming could see various hawkers sitting around, trying to sell their treasures with alluring offers.


    " A fragment of treasure map! A treasure mark that might lead to Heavenly Emperor''s treasure in Azure Sun Sacred Realm!"


    " Piece of ancient treasure! This treasure contains an aura of Imperial Might! Hurry and buy it only for 200,000 High grade spirit stones!"


    " Great Thunder Destruction Talisman! A single talisman can finish even a Harmonization Realm cultivator! Hurry and buy it for 100,000 High grade spirit stones."


    " Haah, Even if a small part of the poption falls for these fake items, the vendors would make a killing." Ming Yuexin sighed.


    " Well, The Azure Sun Secret Realm is going to open. Those who don''t have any big backing will make sure to gear up¡­Even at such an exorbitant price." Long Ming grinned.


    Soon, they arrived in the street where the Blind Treasure Auction was happening.


    " Wee everyone! This is the yearly event of Hundred Treasure Pavilion!"


    " These special rocks are born outside the Azure Sun Secret Realm, filled with dangerous spatial turbulence. Our brave miners mined these rocks and brought them for you."


    " So, Don''t hesitate to buy these rocks!" The old annoucerughed loudly as his voice echoed.


    " Who knows? An ordinary rock might contain the supreme dao rhythm of heaven and earth?"


    '' Truly a businessman.'' Long Ming chuckled as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened. The mysterious azure depth in his eyes became more resplendent as he looked at the rocks of various sizes.


    Ming Yuexin was also interested in the event, trying to gauge the rocks with her own ability.


    " Meh, I can''t sense even the slightest aura! All the rocks are feeling the same!" Ming Yuexin snorted.


    " It''s alright, Sister Ming. We will find some good stuff soon." Long Ming chuckled. But then, his expression brightened.


    " Aha! There is¡­Mu Qinglian."


    Ming Yuexin followed Long Ming''s gaze and also found Mu Qinglian.


    As they were about to walk to her, they saw a group of youngsters surrounding Mu Qinglian.


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes turned yful when she saw that.


    " Oh my, I guess Mu Qinglian''s suitors are active again. And that guy¡­ Is he the Young Sword of Green Cloud?"


    " Young Sword of Green Cloud?" Long Ming snorted, his lips curling into a devilish grin.


    " I will chew him and turn him into a green fart."

 Chapter 133 Jealousy Of People

    <h4>Chapter 133 Jealousy Of People</h4>


    " Saintess Mu, It''s been a while since we met each other."


    Mu Qinglian only cast a side nce at the young man before looking back at the Abstract Stones.


    " I see, So you are going to join Azure Sun Secret Realm''s battle, huh?"


    " Why not?" The Young Sword of Green Cloud gave a polite smile. " The Azure Sun Secret Realm is filled with so many treasures that can boost our cultivation tremendously."


    " Indeed." Mu Qinglian gave a very short reply.


    " Hah, Acting haughty as always, huh?" A girl beside Young Sword of Green Cloud snorted. " Mu Qinglian, You still think your Four Seasons Valley owns the secret realm?"


    " Well, I am not saying anything like that, Li Qingxin." Mu Qinglian gave a mocking chuckle. " Maybe it''s you who are trying to prove the weakness of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Yo-You!" Li Qingxin''s face turned livid with anger. " Hmph, Brother Jia Qing, we shouldn''t waste our time bickering with such people."


    " Sure, Li Qingxin. " Mu Qinglian nodded. " I don''t have any interest to talk with a Blissful Heaven Temple''s whor¡­ Ahem, Blissful heaven Temple''s princess."


    " Wh-What did you just say?!"


    Li Qingxin''s body trembled, her anger was about to erupt.


    " Hehe, It''s all just a misunderstanding, Saintess Mu." Jia Qing''s smile twitched. " Sister Qinglian, How about we look at the treasures together? I have a treasure that might help us to identify the best Abstract Stone."


    Jia Qing''s eyes roamed Mu Qinglian''s figure as he put out his bait. Mu Qinglian could be considered one of the top beauties in the Holy Qilin Empire. Even in the entire Eastern Province, such beauty could be considered as kingdom toppling.


    As Four Seasons Valley declined, many people tried to sway Mu Qinglian. However, She remained true to herself, true to her sect and her cultivation.


    Li Qingxin clenched her fist when she saw Jia Qing trying to unt before Mu Qinglian. However, before Jia Qing could say something, his expression changed.


    Mu Qinglian felt someone appearing behind her. But before she could turn around, the person grabbed her waist, and lifted her from ground.


    " So, Here you are, Senior Sister!"


    " Ahhhh! Lo-Long Ming?!" Mu Qinglian was bbergasted when she recognized the voice. She tried to struggle, but Long Ming''s arms held her body in his embrace tightly.


    " Hmph, Did you think you could escape so easily?" Long Ming held her and swayed her a bit. " You didn''t even apologize properly, yet you hurriedly fled to here?"


    " Long Ming, I am sorry! But¡­Let me down!"


    " Nooo! Before you promise that you won''t be running again, I won''t put you down!" Long Ming spoke in a firm voice.


    " Fi-Fine! I won''t escape. Now, Let me down!" Mu Qinglian''s face flushed as she begged.


    Finally, Long Ming put her on the ground as he stood beside her, looking at Jia Qing.


    " Oh? Who is that guy, Senior Sister? Your friend?"


    Jia Qing''s face twitched when he saw Long Ming''s nonchnt attitude. However, heposed himself.


    " I am Jia Qing of Green Cloud Sect."


    " I see, I am Long Ming, the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming nodded. " Well, Senior Sister Mu, How about we look around for some treasures?"


    " Look around for treasures? Sure." Mu Qinglian smiled at Long Ming. Jia Qing''s expression was ugly as Long Ming and Mu Qinglian turned to leave.


    " Damned bastard, So he is really the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Jia Qing clenched his teeth. What made him even more angry was Long Ming''s way of interacting with Mu Qinglian.


    How can he touch and scold her like that? How can he be so close to her? Jia Qing felt so jealous that his expression turned green.


    '' That damned bitch! She even had such a suitor! Hmph! She isnt'' pure as she shows.'' Li Qingxin was also jealous of Mu Qingliang, and even more jealous of having someone handsome like Long Ming.


    What made Li Qingxin''s eyes more greedy was the raw Yang energy of Long Ming along with his ethereal aura. Such potent Yang energy wasn''t something she even saw in Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples.


    '' No matter what, I must take him into my grasp.''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Alright, How long you are going to keep up this act?" Mu Qinglian sighed as she looked at Long Ming with her side eyes.


    " Well, As long as you wish, Senior Sister." Long Ming grinned. Before Mu Qinglian could say anything, she noticed Ming Yuexin.


    " Ah, Sister Ming, you also came with Long Ming?" Mu Qinglian was surprised.


    " Of course, I had toe with Brother Long." Ming Yuexin smiled. " Do you know how worried he became when you escaped without saying anything?"


    " Well¡­"


    Mu Qinglian lowered her head, clenching her skirt. " I¡­ I am sorry, Long Ming. I initiated the spar so suddenly then¡­ Injured you so badly. I always tried my best to calm down my impulse but¡­"


    " It''s alright, Sister Mu." Long Ming chuckled. " I guess I am also pretty powerful since I managed to make you unleash your full power."


    " Yo-You don''t hate me?"


    " Why should I?" Long Mingughed lightly.


    " Doesn''t men hate hot headed women? Those women who act rashly aren''t considered as wife material, you know¡­" Her voice became quite like a mosquito.


    " Wh-What?" Long Ming was stunned. He wondered if he heard right.


    " I mean! We need to hurry and get treasures! Otherwise, everything will be gone!" Mu Qinglian spoke hurriedly.


    " I noticed a good stone not far. Let''s go there." Ming Yuexin nodded with enthusiasm.


    Long Ming sighed as he followed both girls.


    Meanwhile, he started to sort the treasures he got from the 10X spin.

    [ Soul Molding Bell: It''s a spiritual type of treasure that helps the soul and spirit energy to refine and grow. It can be used as both offense and defense type treasure]


    [ Ding! Max Level Affection System''s time has ended! Asking Host to submit a review]


    The UI changed as it returned to the Infinite Star Roulette. Long Ming nodded when he saw that.


    " Well, This system pretty much caters to the modern world with an urban theme. Although there are powerful treasures I got from the roulette, the in-shop items are all rted to women and their affection."


    " So, such a system would be pretty great for the modern world." Long Ming spoke. " Besides, the AP system needs to be improved. Give a set amount of AP with an increase of each point in Favorability."


    " Andstly¡­" Long Ming grinned as he scratched his head.


    " The system should obviously used by an ugly dude who will be handsome step by step."


    Thest point was something that Long Ming agreed with wholeheartedly. The Max Level Affection System worked very smoothly thanks to his Deste Immortal Aura. Without it, Farming Favorability and AP would be very difficult.


    But, What kind of system allows their host to sail in such smooth waves? There needs to be hardship for a user to grow, right? It wouldn''t be fun if the user didn''t curse the system''s nine generations a few hundred times, right?


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine World agrees with you. He is thanking you for your effort.]


    [ Ding! As a reward, Harem King of Nine World is giving you a present!]


    [ You received the Screen of Favorability!]


    [ Screen of Favorability: Host can see the favorability index of people around him. Unless it''s a special case, Host can see anyone''s favorability towards him]


    " Holy shit!"


    Long Ming was shocked when he saw that. Such a reward could be almostparable to a Divine Grade reward.


    Something that can be deeper and mysterious than an abyss is only a person''s heart. If someone had the ability to see through someone''s heart, he could easily differentiate between friends and foes.


    And for Long Ming, such a reward was something he never expected.


    [ Ding! Next system shall arrive after a period of time]


    '' Hahaha! Finally, I will put it to good use!'' Long Ming grinned as he saw Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin trying to purchase some Abstract Stones.


    " Hoho, Young Lady, Your eyes are very sharp." The shopkeeper looked at Mu Qinglian and smiled.


    " This stone already has a pattern of green veins. The chances of getting a high quality Abstract Intent Jade is very high."


    "How much this costs?" Ming Yuexin asked.


    " Only 500,000 High grade Spirit Stones."


    " What?!"


    " 500, 000? That''s too much¡­" Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian were shocked.


    However, at that moment amotion arose.


    " The Princess of Blissful Heaven Temple got a grade four me type Abstract Intent Jade!"


    " Haha, Brother Jia! You are really a genius!"


    " Well, I told you, right?"


    Long Ming also looked at them as he chuckled.


    " Don''t be sad, Sister Mu and Sister Ming. I will show you the real treasures lurking here."

 Chapter 134 Picking Up Jades Like Cabbages

    <h4>Chapter 134 Picking Up Jades Like Cabbages</h4>


    " It looks like Jia Qing''s luck is pretty good, huh?"


    " Indeed, To manage to get two Abstract Intent Jades continuously, he is more than lucky."


    Li Qingxin grinned when she saw everyone''s attention was on Jia Qing and her. " Brother Jia, You are really awesome. How did you do that?"


    " Well, I have an ancient mirror which I got from my adventure. With the help of this, I can deduce which stone is filled with jade and which ones are busts."


    " Oh my god! Brother Jia really came prepared, huh?" Li Qingxin''s eyes sparkled with joy.


    When she saw Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin''s attention was on Jia Qing, her lips curled into disdain.


    " Hmph, Brother Jia was kind enough to ask some people to join, But guess, they are just blind to pass this chance."


    Jia Qing understood who Li Qingxin was targeting. However, he only smiled and didn''t refute it at all.


    " Jia Qing only spent 100,000 High grade spirit stones. Yet, that jade is worth more than 600,000 High grade Spirit Stones."


    " That''s the charm of gambling. You can either make a thousand times of your initial amount, or you will return without a single spirit stone."


    " Very true."


    " That pair of bastards¡­" Ming Yuexin snorted when she heard that. Long Ming also narrowed his eyes. " Indeed, Some people are just full of shit."


    " Don''t worry about those guys." Mu Qinglian sighed as she turned around. " Li Qingxin always tried to oppose me. So, it''s nothing new. Just ignore them."


    " Really?"


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s ear rang as a blue colored screen appeared before him.


    [ Ding! Infinite Star Roulette started to spin! Randomly selecting a system!]


    [ System is selected! Initializing new System!]


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s surroundings vanished as he stood in the void. Suddenly, with an explosion, the primordial chaos appeared before him.


    '' Wow, I got a system pretty fast. I thought it would take a few days before I get a new system. But it''s good nheless.'' Long Ming pondered.


    However, the scene in front of him was mesmerizing, making him gaze into the birth of countless secrets from Primordial Chaos.


    [ The world is unfair, and so is the judgment of heaven. Talent exists, Wealth exists, knowledge exists, so the impartiality exists]


    [ A true genius can grasp all of them. With a first determination and a bit of luck, even a beggar can be an emperor, a mortal can be a divine being]


    [ Wee to the Heavenly Genius System!]


    [ Host needs toplete the quests given by the system. There would be both reward and penalty for quests]


    [The first quest has been issued]


    [ No unting Before Me]


    [ Ding! Some unsightly beings are pping their wings before Host. Host need to rip their wings and crush them like ants]


    [ Reward: Weing Reward]


    [ Failure: Nullification of System. Host will be unable to get a system for next ten years]


    [ You might get extra reward if you manage to trigger more people]


    Long Ming''s lips curled when he saw the quest. He understood who are these unsightly beings.


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mystery is looking at you with anticipation]


    " Great Crow of Dark Mystery?" Long Ming was dumbfounded. '' Why do I feel I know about him?''


    Shaking his thoughts, Long Ming looked at the various shops selling Abstract Stones.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes revolved as he could see the aura of various colors on the Abstract Stones. Some are bright, some are dim, and some are even giving a powerful aura.


    " Sister Mu, Come with me."


    Long Ming chuckled as he saw a good stone near Jia Qing and Li Qingxin. Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin nodded when they heard Long Ming.


    " Huh? Look at them."


    " Are they from Four Seasons Valley?"


    Long Ming pointed at a smooth stone, asrge as a watermelon.


    " This one¡­ How much for this?"


    " Hoho, Young Master really got sharp eyes." The shopkeeper was ted. This stone was directly excavated from the center of Blue Mines. So, the chances of having an Abstract Jade is pretty high."


    " Just tell me how much for this one?" Long Ming asked impatiently.


    " Just, one million high grade spirit stones."


    " One million?"


    " Damn it, That''s too much."


    Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin frowned when they heard the price. " One million high grade spirit stones? That''s too much."


    " Alright."


    To their surprise, Long Ming didn''t show much expression as he piled the spirit stones in front of the shopkeeper and took the Abstract Stone.


    " Thank you, Young Master. If you wish, Shall I ask our professionals to cut it open?" The shopkeeper''s smile turned bright.


    With Long Ming''s permission, they slowly cut the stone.


    " One million high grade spirit stones! I wonder if there is any jade inside that?"


    " Hehe, if it turns out to be a bust, they are done for."


    Suddenly, a yellow colored light erupted from the stone as a shy brown colored crystal appeared before them.


    " Oh my goodness! Such rity and radiance!"


    " Grade three! It''s a Grade three Earth type Abstract Intent Jade!"


    " Such pure Earth energy. It''s perfect for Earth attribute cultivators!"


    " That alone costs more than eight million high grade spirit stones!"


    " Eight million!?"


    Jia Qing and Li Qingxin''s expressions turned stiff when they saw that. They didn''t expect Long Ming to score that big.


    " Tch, It''s only a grade three Abstract Intent Jade." Long Ming snorted lightly as he threw the jade toward Ming Yuexin. " Sister Ming, keep it. We should look for better Abstract Intent Jades."


    " Better?"


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian were in a daze when they heard Long Ming''s words. A grade three Abstract Intent Jade which is the size of a fist isn''t good enough?


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard everyone''s reaction. " Well, Only peasants get excited when they score peanuts. If they have guts, why not y big?"


    Everyone looked at Jia Qing and Li Qingxin, who were trembling with rage. Long Ming''s words are naturally directed at them.


    " Hoho, Junior, You just got lucky. However, you shouldn''t act so prideful."


    Everyone turned around as they saw an old man walking toward Jia Qing and Li Qingxin.


    " Uncle Hao!" Jia Qing''s expression turned ted when he saw that.


    " Who is that old man?"


    " I remember! I think he is Jia Hao, He is the current owner of Star Antique Shop of Holy Qilin City."


    " Star Antique Shop? Could it be, that he is that appraiser Jia Hao?"


    " Indeed."


    Jia Hao walked toward Jia Qing and he nodded. " Well, I was also here to purchase some Abstract Intent Jade. When I heard you were also here, I came to meet you."


    " Heh, It looks like the young one couldn''t fight, so he asked to summon the old one." Long Ming didn''t back as he taunted Jia Qing.


    After all, even a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm can''t do anything openly in Azure Fragrance City. There are many powers hiding inside the Azure Fragrance City.


    " Hmph, It looks like you didn''t know how to respect the elderly." Jia Hao''s eyes turned cold when he heard Long Ming''s words.


    " What''s the point of being elderly? If you have skills, then showcase it." Long Mingughed as he turned around. " Sister Mu, Sister Ming, Let''s go and buy some more."


    Jia Hao''s expression changed when he saw Long Ming didn''t give him any face at all. Jia Qing was also angry as he shouted.


    " Wait, Long! How dare you disrespect my uncle?" He snorted. " Even the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire recognize my uncle as a skilled appraiser."


    " Yeah, So, What should I do?" Long Ming shrugged. " Well, If you want to have a match, then why not?"


    " Match?" Jia Hao was stunned and he started tough. " Brat, You think you can match with me after getting lucky once?"


    Long Ming grinned as he saw Jia Qing and Jia Hao finally fall into his trap. " Just tell me, Are you in or not?"


    " Hmph! Let me show you my skills." Jia Hao took the ancient mirror from Jia Qing''s hand as he walked toward the pile of Abstract Stones.


    " Ahh, I thought that treasure was something Young Sword of Green Cloud got from his journey." Long Ming chuckled. " Who would have thought, the treasure was something he borrowed from his uncle?"


    Everyone''s expression turned strange when they heard Long Ming. Looking at the action of Jia Hao, his usage of the ancient mirror was pretty smooth. That means he knew how to utilize it properly.


    Jia Qing''s expression turned red when he felt the crowd''s gaze.


    " Hmph, This stone. I can guarantee there is a high quality jade here."? Jia Qing announced. " How much this is?"


    " Around 500,000 High grade spirit stones."


    " I am taking it."


    When they cut the jade, a blue colored radiance shone out from the rock.


    " This¡­ This is a grade three water type Abstract Intent Jade."


    " Hoho, Jia Hao really lives up to his name."


    Jia Haoughed loudly when he saw that. " Did you see that, kiddo? This is called appraisal."


    However, Jia Hao felt something was wrong as the majority of the crowd was around Long Ming.


    " This, This¡­ And this one. I want them all." Long Ming casually selected a couple of stones.


    " Young Master, Total would be ten million high grade spirit stones."


    " Well, That''s cheap." Long Ming sighed as he handed him a spatial ring. " Open them all."


    The shopkeeper felt like the god of wealth appeared before him. He hurriedly called his servants to make sitting arrangements for Long Ming and his two femalepanions.


    As the stones were sliced open, the crowd became stunned.


    " All¡­All of? them are Grade three Abstract Intent Jades!"


    " Not to mention, just look at the sizes! They are bigger than a palm!"


    " Damn it! What kind of dogshit luck is that?!"


    " Luck? Do you still think that young man is just lucky?"


    " He also has superb appraisal skills! Not to mention, His profit was more than five times his investment."


    Long Ming looked at them as he sighed. " Shopkeeper, I think you are a scammer."


    " Hu-Huh? Young Master, How can I be a scammer?" The owner stammered when he heard Long Ming.


    " I thought there might be a Grade One Abstract Spirit Jade here. Yet, These are all grade three ones." Long Ming sighed. " I guess I need to change the shop."


    " Well¡­"


    The crowd felt like their palms were itching after seeing Long Ming''s nonchnt attitude. He is casually spending tens of millions like pocket change.


    " I heard he is the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Since when did Four Seasons Valley got so rich?"


    " Damn it, Just look at him. Even his steps are so graceful."


    Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin were both in a daze. They just gathered the Abstract Intet Jades and followed Long Ming.


    Long Ming looked at Jia Qing and Jia Hao,? " Eh? You found only one jade after spending so much time?"


    " Yo-You?"


    Long Mingughed as he didn''t bother with them. " If you want to bet, How about we bet on that one?"


    Everyone looked at the pile of stones Long Ming pointing at. Rather than looking like an Abstract Stone, they looked like deep ck mountain granites.


    " Do you dare to bet on that one?" Long Ming chuckled.

 Chapter 135 Making People Cough Blood

    <h4>Chapter 135 Making People Cough Blood</h4>


    " Those are¡­ Coarse stones?"


    " Yes, Those are coarse stones."


    Someone couldn''t understand as he asked, " What''s so special about them?"


    " Well, Coarse stones are simply unrefined Abstract Stones. A single Coarse stone contains a few Abstract Stones."


    " However, the thing is, One can still gauge the presence of jade from the Abstract Stone. But Coarse Stones are simply too mysterious, no one knows if it got jade filled Abstract Stones or simply busts."


    " The price isn''t low at all, but the chances of failure are higher than picking an Abstract Stone."


    " But, They are excellent tools for judging someone''s luck and appraisal skills." Someone else added.


    Jia Hao''s expression turned stiff when he saw Long Ming standing before the pile of Coarse Stones. The pitch ck stones simply bounced back the divine sense, making everyone elude from the things inside it.


    " Come, Elder Jia¡­ Please, show your seniority and experience here." Long Ming didn''t hold back his taunt at all.


    ording to the quest description, he needed to make people vomit blood. So why not? Long Ming was giving his best to make people die from anger and jealousy.


    " Hmph! Brat, Those Coarse stones are nothing before me." Jia Hao snorted as he walked to the stone pile.


    " There are stones of various prices, from 500,000 High grade spirit stones to 10 Million grade.


    The ten million one was a giant stone that stood like a monument. There should be at least a few pieces of jade inside it. However, it''s simply risky to purchase that one.


    After all, even if there are some jade pieces, they need to surpass the value of ten million to make a profit. Such high investment might not produce such high profit at all.


    Using the ancient mirror, Jia Hao looked for a suitable stone amidst the pile of Coarse Stone. However, he and Jia Qing subconsciously nced at Long Ming, who was also looking for a good stone.


    Suddenly, they saw Long Ming ncing at round Coarse Stone with a glint of greed. Then he looked around and pretended that he hadn''t noticed it.


    " Brother Long, That one¡­"? MingYuexin pointed at the stone, but Long Ming pulled her back. " Ahem, Sister Ming, We will see that."


    Jia Qing noticed the small action as he tugged Jia Hao. Jia Hao''s sense didn''t miss that also. And the ancient mirror also showed a bit of aura around the stone.


    " That stone¡­ I want that one." Jia Hao pointed at the stone.


    " Ah, This one? This one costs 200,000 High grade spirit stones." The old man sitting there gauged the value as he spoke in a calm voice.


    " Ahem, Mister, I am also interested in that stone. How about this? I will pay 300,000 High grade spirit stones."


    " How is that possible?" Jia Qing retorted. " My uncle made the bid first. That stone is obviously his."


    " Not really, Young Man." The old seller shook his head. " As our old custom, as long as the trade is iplete, people can bid for a stone. The highest bidder shall win."


    " Hmph, Then I bid for 500,000!" Jia Hao''s voice rang as he made his bid.


    " One million." Long Ming didn''t step back.


    " Two million." Jia Hao snorted when he heard Long Ming.


    " Damn it! Five million!" Long Ming clenched his fist as he looked at Jia Hao. " Elder Hao, you better give up. I don''t think you carry that much money."


    " Hehe, I am excited? about that stone¡­ maybe there is something miraculous inside it." Ming Yuexin''s giggled. Her voice wasn''t loud, but many people with kneen sense heard that.


    " Sister Ming, Can''t you just stand silently?" Long Ming frowned when he heard Ming Yuexin. Mu Qinglian also tugged the dress of Ming Yuexin making her shut up.


    Jia Hao''s chest thumped. He was observing Long Ming''s desire for that stone and Ming Yuexin''s reaction.


    '' He was looking for grade one Abstract Intent Jade¡­ What if¡­ What if that stone¡­'' Jia Hao felt his heart was in turmoil.


    A grade one Abstract Intent Jade can be considered a treasure on par with a peak Earth grade treasure. Not to mention, the rarity and effects are even greater than Earth grade treasures, reaching Noble grade.


    And for the price, a grade one Abstract Intent Jade could be sold for more than fifty million high grade spirit stones.


    " Eight million!" Jia Hao shouted.


    " Fifteen Million!" Long Ming raised his price again. Jia Hao could see Long Ming''s anxiety was increasing, making him feel gloated.


    " Twenty million!" Jia Hao finally spoke.


    Long Ming stomped his feet. " Damn it¡­ Haah, This isn''t good. I am leaving."


    Jia Haoughed when he heard Long Ming. " What happened, Brat? Aren''t you unting your wealth? Now, Who isughing, huh?"


    He mocked while giving the spatial ring to the seller.


    " Hehe, Uncle, you were right. Some people just act big and high, while they don''t have any ability topete." Jia Qing joined in.


    But the moment Jia Hao paid the full twenty million high grade spirit stones, Long Ming''s anxiety vanished like a puff of smoke.


    " Oh well, I guess I am the poor one now, huh?" Long Ming chuckled. " Hmm, Why don''t we see inside that stone?"


    The sudden change in Long Ming''s reaction caught Jia Hao off guard. An ominous feeling rose in his heart as he asked the seller to cut the Coarse Stone.


    As the stone was peeledyer byyer, Jia Hao''s anxiety increased more and more. Suddenly, a bright blue light shed as a refreshing scent filled the atmosphere.


    " Look! There is something!"


    " Could it be¡­"


    Jia Hao''s heart thumped as heughed out loud. " Haha! I got it! I scored big¡­"


    But then, the cheering crowd suddenly became silent, and everyone''s expression turned strange.


    " What the fuck is that?"


    They saw the stone was hollow inside as a puddle of bright blue fluid oozed out. There was a very thinyer of blue inside that stone along with the puddle of liquid, but that''s all.


    The question is¡­Where is jade?


    " Th-This¡­ This can''t be¡­"


    Jia Qing acted like a bolt of lightning stuck on his head he slumped on his knees.


    " Eh? What was that radiance? Why there is only a puddle of water?"


    " Aha! This is Bright Jade Water¡­ To think I will see such a superior grade Bright Jade Water here."


    " What''s a Bright Jade Water?" A young cultivator asked.


    " Well, As you know, Abstract Intent Jade forms inside the stone, right? But if there is an invisible defect in the shell of stone, the jade condensation process will be affected, making it turn into liquid."


    " So, It''s a waste?"


    " Well, You can''t say that." The old cultivator rubbed his beard, coughing with wisdom. " I mean, Bright Jade Water is used in pill refinement. And this one, I can say, the best Bright Jade Water I have seen in my life, even one with Water attribute."


    " If you can sell it, you will get 500,000 High grade Spirit stones."


    *SILENCE*


    The crowd was enlightened when they heard the words of the old cultivator. Certainly, the Bright Jade Water isn''t a waste at all.


    But unfortunately, For Jia Hao¡­ It''s worse than waste.


    One has to know that twenty million High grade Spirit stones could be considered the total liquid fund of some medium size aristocratic families and sects. And, Jia Hao lost that much instantly.


    " Yo-You! Bastard! You set a trap for us!"


    Jia Qing''s expression turned livid when he realized Long Ming''s n. Long Ming only shrugged.


    " You got really a big mouth, Brother Jia. Did I force you to buy it?" Long Ming snorted. " Did I say there was an Abstract Intent Jade inside it? Who told you topete with me?"


    " Motherfucker!"


    Jia Hao''s eyes turned red as his Harmonization Realm Aura erupted. However before he could attack Long Ming, a gigantic mist palm appeared in the air, giving off tremendous pressure.


    " Fighting is strictly forbidden in Treasure Market. All vitors shall be punished severely."


    The voice boomed, making everyone aware of the power behind the Treasure Market.


    " Tch, Attacking because facing loss out of his own greed." Long Ming sighed. " A cultivator should polish his mind and heart. I know for Elder Hao, This is just a pocket change. But, I hope he learns something from this."


    " Bastard!!"


    Jia Hao coughed a mouthful of blood out of anger.


    Then, Long Ming turned and purchased a few Coarse Stones. And what? He got four grade two Abstract Intent Jade, each as big as a stone tablet, size of two palms.


    He only spent two million spirit stones, getting a profit of forty million spirit stones.


    Seeing that, Both Jia Hao and Jia Qing coughed a mouthful of blood. Especially Jia Hao, who was already on the verge of fainting.


    But then¡­


    *DING*


    The atmosphere changed as sharp gusts of gale blew like it was the arrival of the storm. The chants of the dao rhythm merged with the wind, making it like a gale of supreme wind.


    A green jade like a big watermelon appeared on Long Ming''s hand, one could see the swirling tempest inside it.


    " Grade one! That''s a wind type Grade one Abstract Intent Jade!"


    " Motherfucker! He only bought it with three million!"


    " Just by looking at it, I can take a glimpse into the Intent of Wind!"


    " Fucking ridiculous!"


    However, Long Ming only showed it a bit before storing it away. " " Mr, This stone b of ten million, I want it."


    " Hoho, Go ahead. This stone b has been here for ten years. I guess it finally met its master."


    Long Ming only grinned. " Well, Why not?"


    "Some people just look at the superficial appearance and deem it as the true self." Long Ming chuckled as he ced his palm on the giant stone b. " But real secrets are always hidden in depth, right?"


    Lifting the giant stone b, he put it inside his Spatial Ring.


    The crowd erupted with loud noise.


    " What the hell! Why didn''t you cut it?"


    " Yeah! Show what''s inside! I want to know!"


    " Damn it! What a ruthless move!"


    " I am dying to know! That stone b is worth ten million high grade spirit stones!"


    Jia Hao was unwilling, but he couldn''t do anything in Azure Fragrance City. Jia Qing was also seething in anger when he saw Long Ming holding Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian in his arms.


    As for Li Qingxin?


    Everyone seemed to have forgotten her.


    " Well, Thank you, Sister Ming. Your acting skill is professional." Long Ming winked.


    [ Ding! System Quest isplete!]


    [ Host gained Star tinum grade Appraisal Book 1x]

 Chapter 136 You Are Not Worthy To Fight With Senior Brother

    <h4>Chapter 136 You Are Not Worthy To Fight With Senior Brother</h4>


    Long Ming didn''t look at the rewards as his attention was grabbed by Jia Qing. By now, Jia Qing was seething with anger.


    He drew out his sword, making a de of green mist shing out. Pointing his sword at Long Ming, He shouted. " If you have guts, ept my challenge!"


    [ Ding! Chain Quest is issued! No unting Before Me (2)]


    [ A genius should have the temperament of a king. Destroy Jia Qing''s pride in a? devious way]


    [ Reward: A Dark Gold Grade Box!]


    [ Failure: All the Nobe grade and Earth grade Treasures you have will vanish]


    " Well¡­"


    Long Ming rubbed his palm when he saw that. " Young Sword of Green Cloud, Hm? I guess Brother Jia''s sword techniques must be very profound?"


    " Heh, Indeed." Jia Qing smirked. " I have already reached the Minor Completion stage of my sect''s Royal grade technique, Green Breeze Sword Technique."


    " I have already mastered Sword Qi and will reach the stage of Sword Intent shortly." He snorted. " I don''t believe I can''t defeat you. Who the hell are you even? A nameless junior."


    " Oh my, I am so sad to hear that." Long Ming rubbed his forehead and fell into Ming Yuexin''s embrace. " Sister Ming, I can''t take this nder anymore. I am feeling dizzy."


    Ming Yuexin yed along, " Oh no! Brother Long, Are you alright?"


    " Ugh, I don''t think I can fight with him." Long Ming spoke in a painful voice. " But, I can''t also refuse his challenge¡­"


    " Don''t worry, Brother Long. Before facing you, he needs to fight with me."


    Mu Qinglian stood speechless when she saw the situation unfolding before her eyes. Long Ming sighed as he ced a big Abstract Intent Jade on the ground and sat on it like a chair.


    The grade three earth type Abstract Intent Jade was big as a meter. Seeing Long Ming sitting on such a precious Abstract Intent Jade like an ordinary stone b, everyone''s face twitched violently.


    Even Jia Qing couldn''t help but clench his fist tightly. When he saw Long Ming was holding Ming Yuexin and Ming Yuexin''s concern, he felt his guts turning green from envy.


    And look at Mu Qinglian! The moment Long Ming appeared, her entire focus was on his.


    [ Ding! Jia Qing''s favorability toward Host decreased: 25( Envious and Dislike)]


    Long Ming chuckled when he saw the notification. It looks like the gift og Harem King of Nine World was better than he thought.


    Ming Yuexin walked toward Jia Qing. " Young Master Jia, My Senior Brother Long isn''t feeling well right now. So, I will fight with you instead of him."


    " Wh-What?!"


    Jia Qing gnashed his teeth when he heard that. " Long Ming, You are hiding behind the skirt of a woman. Aren''t you ashamed?"


    " So What?" Long Ming chuckled. " I already told you that I am not feeling well. Aren''t you feeling ashamed for asking for duel when I am feeling unwell?"


    " Yo-You!!"


    Jia Qing stammered when he heard Long Ming. He never thought Long Ming would be this shameless!


    " Young Master Jia, Senior Brother Long''s technique is pretty superiorpared to mine." Ming Yuexin''s fingers danced on the hilt of her sword. " If you can''t defeat me, How can you defeat him?"


    " Hmph! You are very bold, huh?" Jia Qing snorted as he raised his sword. " Don''t say I didn''t warn you."


    " I am Ming Yuexin. Forgive my impoliteness." Ming Yuexin rolled her sleeves, making the onlookers take a glimpse at her slender arms.


    " Aren''y you going to use your sword?" Jia Qing snorted as he took a step forward.


    " I don''t think drawing out my sword is necessary." Ming Yuexin shook her head.


    Saying that, she walked to the nearby duel arena. After all, duel arenas are the ces where one can fight with other cultivators legally.


    Since disputes are prettymon in the Treasure Market, they even set up a duel arena nearby to sort out fighting.


    They are earning money from the treasures, and even more money from the betting during the fights.


    " Hmph! This arrogance will be the fall of you."


    Jia Qing felt like he had enough. First, he was looked down on by Mu Qinglian. Then Long Ming humiliated him. And now, Ming Yuexin didn''t bother to draw her sword to fight against him.


    " Cloud Cutting Green Breeze!"


    Jia Qing''s sword was a top ss Earth grade weapon. It shone with a green colored aura as the sword qi erupted. Like a streak of spiraling wind, it shed at Ming Yuexin.


    " Hmph!"


    Ming Yuexin''s expression didn''t change as she took a step forward. Suddenly, the attack of Jia Qing passed beside Ming Yuexin, missing herpletely.


    " Wh-What happened?"


    " She didn''t even dodge! That attack avoided her!"


    Jia Qing was also shocked. But the shock turned into anger as he lept forward. The sword filled with spiraling green sword qi, with mist and clouds swirling around it.


    " Thundercloud Sword Qi!"


    Jia Qing was a Peak stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator. His cultivation base was also solid, making his aura affect his surroundings.


    Yet, Ming Yuexin stood calmly, as if it was nothing in front of her eyes. She still didn''t bother to draw out her sword.


    " Green Lightning Dance!"


    Jia Qing vanished, turning into a streak of crackling green lightning as he charged at Ming Yuexin. Each of the lightning branches is filled with sharp sword qi mixed with lightning power.


    It was like a green thunderstorm, enveloping Ming Yuexin and making all her escape routes block.


    However, Ming Yuexin raised her palm as her index and middle fingers shone with a sharp light.


    Suddenly, swords made of mes materialized out of thin air and stabbed downward like nails.


    " Crimson Sword Prison!"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The mes zed as they covered the green lightning. Jia Qing''s expression changed instantly as he didn''t attack Ming Yuexin anymore and focused his mind on dodging.


    His body moved quickly as he moved through the falling swords of me, but then, he felt a gentle breeze.


    " Where are you going?"


    Jia Qing''s body shivered with fear as he jumped forward and turned his body, making a backward sh.


    " Thundercloud Chop!"


    Thundercloud Chop was the most powerful move in Jia Qing''s current possession. The sword qi filled the arena as it turned into a single sword made of dark clouds and green lightning. Its speed was fast, as it already arrived before Ming Yuexin''s face.


    But at that moment, Ming Yuexin only used her two fingers and made a stabbing movement.


    Her seemingly calm body shone bust with a me, but there was something else mixed inside those mes, something like a sharp sword.


    " Oh my god!"


    " Is that¡­"


    The Thundercloud Chop ripped into two pieces as it collided against Ming Yuexin''s zing body like someone pushed sugarcane on a sharp vertical knife.


    " Sword Intent? How¡­How is that possible!?"


    Jia Qing was aghast when he realized why Ming Yuexin was so arrogant. She already mastered Sword Intent. What''s more, mastering Sword Intent to this degree!


    It was too shocking for Jia Qing, making him stand like a dumb idiot. However, Ming Yuexin didn''t let the chance go. Raising her hand, she controlled several ming swords, making them spin like a tempest.


    "Burning Sword Covers the Sky!"


    Like a burning river of swords, the attack imbued with Ming Yuexin''s sword intent descended. Jia Qing finally snapped out as he raised his sword. His true qi gushed out like crazy and poured into a green colored sword barrier.


    However, it was the same as a thinyer of steel protecting against a welding me. It can grant protection for some time, but it won''tst forever.


    *BOOM*


    The mes ravaged the arena as Jia Qing got shot out, mming on the ground. His body was charred, making his appearance miserable.


    " Brother Jia!"


    Li Qingxin hurriedly held Jia Qing. His body was still emitting smoke. Ming Yuexin only sighed as she turned around.


    " You can''t even make me draw my sword. How can you fight against our Senior Brother?"


    " Aiya, Such a great match." Long Ming pped loudly. " Well, Too bad I couldn''t ept it due to my headache."


    Ming Yuexin returned to Long Ming''s side as her arms rested on his shoulder. " Are you feeling good, Brother Long?"


    " I am feeling very good." Long Ming grinned as he stood up, cing the Abstract Intent Jade back in his spatial bracelet. " Well, Sister Mu, Are we still shopping? Or do you want to return and take some rest?"


    " Uh¡­ Well¡­ Let''s go back." Mu Qinglian felt everyone''s eyes on them. She didn''t want the situation to escte, so she turned around to leave.


    Long Ming nodded as he followed her back.


    [ Ding! Quest Completed! Host gets a Dark Gold Grade Box!]


    Long Ming was satisfied by the rewards. Not to mention, he was curious what is the benefit of the thing he got, Fragent of Ancient Word: Water.


    As they reached the abode of Four Seasons Valley in Azure Fragrance City, Long Ming closed his room and sat to inspect the rewards.


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Hmm, Sister Ming, Your Sword Intent has been improved so drastcally. I am impressed." Mu Qinglian sighed. " Don''t forget to teach me some, ok?"


    " Haha, Qinglian, Why ask? I will teach you whenever you want." Ming Yuexin smiled.


    " Well, I want to ask another thing." Mu Qinglian was a bit hesitant. " Umm¡­Since when Long Ming and you be so¡­close?"


    Ming Yuexin was stunned as she pursed her lips.


    " Maybe¡­ After we spent some nights together?"


    Mu Qinglian''s eyes turned wide like saucers.


    " I beg your pardon?"

 Chapter 137 Intent Of Water

    <h4>Chapter 137 Intent Of Water</h4>


    Long Ming took the fragment of the Ancient Word of Water.? Unlike his fantasy, it was a in white scroll with a single character ''Water'' written in an ancient script.


    There was no shing phenomenon not any projection of aura. At least that is what a person with ordinary sense will see.


    However, Long Ming felt the word, and the writing style was very peculiar.


    As he was someone with great calligraphy skills, Long Ming could feel the hidden intent behind the simple words. He was surprised to see a calligraphy of this level.


    Sure, It didn''t show any great scenes like Long Ming''s painting or calligraphy, but it was definitely superior to his works.


    '' Those who don''t have goodprehension and a superior perception, such calligraphy will be worth ten low grade spirit stones. However¡­''


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed, making his eyes sh with a dreamy azure light. The seemingly ordinary character turned bright, making Long Ming''s mind shift into an entire other realm.


    Long Ming suddenly opened his eyes and saw a vast ocean before him. The weather was sunny, with a clear sky filled with light floating clouds. The waves of the ocean roared and the sea wind hit Long Ming''s face.


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed when he suddenly saw a gigantic wave charging towards him. Rather than calling it a wave, he should better call it a moving mountain of water.


    Long Ming''s heart thumped when he realized he couldn''t utilize his power at all. The wave came like a tsunami and crashed on Long Ming.


    *GLUB GLUB BLUB!*


    Long Ming was pushed deeper into the ocean. Using his body, he soon dove out to the surface.


    " Ugh! This is¡­ I was transported inside the calligraphy?"" Long Ming chuckled bitterly. " No, I think it''s just my mind visualizing the intent hidden behind the calligraphy."


    Long Ming couldn''t able to stand for more than a few minutes before a gigantic wave sunk him into the ocean again. Although Long Ming wasn''t harmed, being drowned in water forcefully isn''t a pleasant sensation at all.


    However, since the System gave me this as an opening reward, this couldn''t be just a toy, right?'' Long Ming pondered.


    Since there was no life threatning danger, Long Ming decided to stay here and explore the secret behind the calligraphy piece.


    " Ocean¡­ Water and ocean are connected. Wave is a tremendous natural force." Long Ming mumbled. " A sprinkle of water can make someonefortable. But the same water turns into such gigantic waves, capable of destroying even the strongest structure."


    " Wait! Ocean, wave, and destruction?"


    Long Ming suddenly felt he grasped something. While using the Courting Death System, he once got a dark gold grade skill called Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist.


    But since Long Ming didn''t cultivate in water attribute, he only learned it and never bothered to use it.


    However, now, He can control water qi thanks to the Soaring Water Moon Technique. The grasp over the water element has been increased. And now, looking at this vast, raging ocean, a surge of inspiration appeared in Long Ming''s mind.


    He drew back his arms and took a step back. When he saw the next wave wasing toward him, he felt the power of water inside his divine sea and was guided into his fist.


    " Ocean Tearing Fist."


    Long Ming fist shot forward as the water before he rippled. The giant iing wave almost parted into two, but Long Ming''s force wasn''t enough. The wave crashed and Long Ming sunk into the ocean once again.


    However, this time, Long Ming didn''t try to reach the surface again. He felt sinking and sinking, bubbles kepting out of his mouth and nostril.


    But instead of fighting back, Long Ming just kept drowning as he tried toprehend the power of water.


    Even if his Heavenly Comprehension Heart gave him immenseprehensive power, Long Ming still needed to spend some time to understand everything from scratch.


    After all, such enlightenments aren''t skills that can be learned instantly. One can only bet on their fortune andprehension to take a glimpse and understand it.


    Soon. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as his surroundings became more and more hazy.


    " Ah¡­ I see¡­"


    Long Ming used the Soaring Water Moon Art and Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist as references. Both of them used water qi and traits rted to water. Long Ming slowly understood the intent behind the calligraphy.


    " This is the gentle yet overwhelming property of water. A gentle ripple from the center can create mountain like waves in the end."


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt he suddenly stopped drowning as his body was suspended inside the ocean. Long Ming didn''t even move, yet the water around him bubbled, making him propel upward.


    It was like Long Ming was flying upward inside the ocean.


    *BOOOM*


    The water turned into a pir as it lifted Long Ming. Long Ming stood on the pir of the water, with his hands behind him. Aftering out, his body wasn''t soaked at all, as if he wasyered by a thinyer of water instion.


    Long Mingughed out loud as he stretched his body. Seeing the next iing wave, he readied his stance.


    " Let''s try this new move." Long Ming became amused as the water qi circted around him. However, it wasn''t simple water qi, but something else, something deep and mysterious.


    " One Palm Flips Nine Oceans!"


    The wave exploded before Long Ming as a giant palm sized gap appeared in the middle of the wave. The wave of water stopped as it gently bowed before Long Ming, dissipating back into the ocean.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he opened his eyes. He was still inside his room and the scroll having the character ''Water'' was still before him.


    Long Ming looked at his palm as a gentle blue light shed. The moisture gathered, but it didn''t form a ball of water.


    " To think I wouldprehend Water Intent from this calligraphy scroll." Long Ming took a deep breath as his expression wasplicated.


    As someone knows, there are five stages ofprehension: Aura, Qi, Intent, Heart, and Dao.


    Thanks to this painting, Long Ming directlyprehended the Water Inint, boosting his ability and strength by arge margin.


    '' Such an amazing treasure. I am sure it will beneficial to anyone who stares at it andprehends its mysteries.''


    '' Besides, This is only a Fragmented Word. I wonder what a full calligraphy scroll looks like?''


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is amused by Host''sprehension. He says only a True Dao Heart can reach the apex]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is saying he is being chunni again]


    [ Ding! Some other Constetions are keeping their distance from the Great Crow of Dark Mysteries]


    '' It looks like Senior Crow is a hidden bigshot, huh?''


    Long Ming pondered. However, no matter how powerful he is, Long Ming felt they couldn''t extend their powers to the Primal Chaos Universe.


    Then, Long Ming opened his Dark Gold Rank Chest.


    [ Ding! Host obtained a Dark Gold Grade Pill, Meridian Rejuvenation Pill]


    " Well, It looks like it''s a powerful pill that can cure internal injuries and injuries of qi deviation." Long Ming looked at the description as he mumbled inwardly.


    " Wait, How much time I spent meditating?" Long Ming was startled as he hurriedly walked out. He realized it was alreadyte evening. This means he was in deep meditation for more than eight hours.


    '' Well, At least I improved my strength in this time, Nothing wasteful at all." Long Ming chuckled as he got up.


    Opening the door, he walked out and felt the evening breeze.


    " Ah, So you came out."


    Long Ming turned his head and looked at Ming Yuexin. " Ah, Were you waiting here, Sister Ming?"


    " Not really. I just came here right now." Ming Yuexin smiled. " Mm, What is this feeling? I feel the aura around you changed subtly."


    " Sister Ming is sharp as always." Long Ming grinned. " Well, I just got enlightened and improved one of my techniques."


    Ming Yuexin was speechless. Is getting enlightenment is that casual? Why doesn''t she get a few enlightenments like that?


    " But, Where is Senior Sister Mu?"


    " Well, She is practicing her sword. Why? Want to meet her?" Ming Yuexin smiled.


    " Hmm, I wonder if you should meet her right now?"


    " Huh? Why?" Long Ming was surprised. Ming Yuexin only giggled as she turned around.


    " I wonder too¡­"


    After Ming Yuexin left, Long Ming walked to Mu Qinglian''s courtyard.


    " What is it, Sister Mu? Are you feeling good?" Long Ming leaned on the wall with a smile.


    Mu Qinglian was performing the Four Seasons Grand Swordy, her movements were simply wless.


    But Long Ming suddenly shivered when Mu Qinglian nced at him. It was like an olddy suddenly noticed the thief who stole her bag. And now, she wants to beat the thief to death.


    But that feeling vanished as Mu Qinglian sighed. " Feeling good? For what?"


    " For making Jia Qing and Li Qingxin miserable?" Long Ming chuckled. " Although I couldn''t mess with Li Qingxin much, I am sure she felt humiliated today."


    " Hmm, That''s true." Mu Qinglian thought for a moment before nodding. She suddenly turned around and walked at him.


    " I am hungry."


    " Yes?"


    Long Ming''s face turned odd when he heard that. " Shall I ask Uncle Chong to¡­"


    " I said I am hungry." Mu Qinglian spoke again. " I want food right now."


    Long Ming was speechless as something clicked in his mind. " You mean¡­ You want me to cook?"


    " You are wise."


    Long Ming almost stumbled when he heard that.


    Sister, thank heaven that I am wise. Otherwise, it would be impossible to read your signal.


    " As you wish, Senior Sister."


    Mu Qinglian sighed when she saw Long Ming go to prepare for dinner.


    " Sigh, Why does he have to be so handsome and capable?"


    " No! No no no! I have to make my move soon. Otherwise, There won''t be a drop of soup left in the bowl for me."


    .


    .


    .


    Soon, the day of the opening of Azure Sun Sacred Realm arrived

 Chapter 138 Secret Of Secret Realm

    <h4>Chapter 138 Secret Of Secret Realm</h4>


    The entire Azure Fragrance City was bustling with noise when the day finally arrived. People from various sects whether big or small or distant came flocking here thanks to the opening of Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    Long Ming woke up and got off from his bed, walking to the courtyard with leisurely.


    " Greetings, Senior Brother."


    " Good Morning, Young Master Long."


    The disciples of Four Seasons Valley arrived yesterday.? Therefore, the abode of Four Seasons Valley is livelier than usual. Along with them, Grand Elder Wu Liang also came with three other elders.


    " Everyone, Get ready. It''s almost the time of departure." Wu Liang announced.


    " Li Xie, Chen Yin, Shui Huan, Chu Li, Ming Yuexin, Mu Qinglian¡­" Wu Liang called them out. The disciples holding the Imperial Token stood forward. Other than Long Ming, there were more than twenty disciples of Four Seasons Valley selected to venture into the Azure Sun Sacred Realm.


    " Well, As you know, The secret realm is filled with both danger and fortunes. However, to enjoy the fortune you need toe back alive first." Wu Liang''s expression became serious.


    " There are many things to do inside the Secret Realm. However, among them, two things are most required."


    " Cores of Demon Beasts and old medicinal herbs. There are many people in Azure Fragrance City putting bounties on various natural treasures. So, Try to get benefit from them."


    " And thest thing¡­" She sighed lightly. " Unless something serious happens, don''t approach the ming Mountain of the Core Zone."


    " Huh? Why?"


    Long Ming was surprised. From the information he gathered, the ming Mountain could be one of the treasure troves. Any disciple can get a chance to encounter there that can help them to boos their strength.


    But after Long Ming spoke, he immediately recalled something.


    It was dangerous for Four Seasons Valley disciples to approach especially the core zone.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked at Wu Liang.


    " Well, Sect Master doesn''t wish for our disciples to venture into perilous zone. So, Just heed my warning, ok?" Wu Liang casually cleared everyone''s bubbling doubt.


    Long Ming, who knew the truth, also remained silent and nodded. After all, he didn''t wish to spread fear among the disciples.


    But he was indeed curious. Why there is such a peculiarity inside the secret realm? Could it be something inside the Azure Sun Secret Realm hunting the disciples of Four Seasons Valley? Or it''s a collusion between various sect to weaken Four Seasons Valley?


    " Alright, We shall set off in one hour. Please do your preparations as fast as you can."


    Long Ming returned to his room and prepared himself. In the past few days, he was gathering all sorts of information about the Azure Sun Secret Realm. Other than that, he was also refining the Soul Molding Bell.


    His soul already took a small humanoid shape. Now, there was a bell covering it, basking in the pure spiritual qi of Long Ming. The bell looked exquisite as it was a hexagonal bell, The various patterns around it made it even more charming and ancient.


    But thanks to it, Long Ming''s soul was improved even further. The Soul Molding Bell acted like a refiner that made Long Ming''s spiritual qi flow smooth and robust.


    What''s more, Combining it with his Eternal True Spirit Art, Long Ming is capable of releasing his spiritual qi to both attack and defend. However, the cost of spiritual qi was still a bit much for Long Ming.


    '' Hm, Before we go, how about opening this?'' Long Ming remembered something as waved his hands. The giant stone b which he bought at the price of ten million high grade spirit stones, appeared before him.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone with brilliance as he grasped the sword hilt. With a swift movement, Long Ming pulled it out as his sword intent surged.


    With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming could see the veins inside the Coarse Stone like he was looking at a human body. His sword shed as he sliced off theyer of the stone.


    Soon, The giant stone b became as short as a five year old child. However, Long Ming was satisfied as he gave a light click on it.


    Thestyer of rock cracked as they slid down. Then, a radiance shone with multicolored light. Soon, a giant crystal shing with the energy of five elements appeared before Long Ming''s eyes.


    It was perfect without a single blemish. One could feel the hotness of fire, the coolness of water, vitality of wood, the pressure of earth, and the sharpness of metal.


    " Haah, Who could have thought that there is a supreme grade Five Elemental Abstract Intent Jade lying in the Treasure Market?"


    The supreme grade Abstract Intent Jade is something that''s even above a grade one jade. Not to mention, this Abstract Intent Jade possesses the natural dao rhythm of five elements.


    Its cost could easily surpass a few hundred million high grade spirit stones easily.


    However, Long Ming wasn''t going to sell it¡­ At least not entirely.


    '' Along with Azure Mirthil, this would be another material for refining my Supreme Natal Sword.'' Long Ming decided.


    But then, his eyes fell on another thing, making him curious. He saw among the pile of sliced stoneyer, an inconspicuous token was lying.


    Long Ming picked it as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone. Peering through theyer of rust and dirt, Long Ming saw the real token. But when he saw that, his eyes widened.


    " This¡­ This pattern¡­ Isn''t this Four Season Valley discipe token?!"


    Long Ming took a sharp breath as he carefully appraised it. However, after injecting his spiritual qi, Long Ming could feel the distinct mark of Four Seasons Valley''s imprint.


    '' Strange¡­ This design¡­ It''s not the current design. After all, I have seen the tokens of outer, inner, and core sect disicples'' Long Ming pondered. But the token did resemble a core disciple sect token.


    Long Ming suddenly thought of an idea as he looked at the token. His used his Temporal Fate Simtion.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes became dark as he felt his surroundings were shifting.


    With Temporal Fate Simtion, Long Ming can easily glimpse through a ce, person, or object''s memories through the river of time.


    Well, peeking into the future is hard and costs more spiritual qi. However, ncing at the past? Long Ming felt with his Eternal True Spirit Art, his spiritual qi was enough for this.


    " Greetings, Senior Brother Bu."


    " Brother Bu, Are you going to Illusion Formation Pce to practice?"


    " Haha, Indeed. I have improved my me Star Sword Art. So, I wanted to spend some time practicing in the Illusion Formation Pce."


    Long Ming was surprised as he was standing in an unknown ce. But what made him even more surprised was that there were male disciples roaming around, wearing the uniform of Four Seasons Valley!


    " Male disciples? Wait¡­ Could it be¡­ I am looking at the Four Seasons Valley before the cmity struck?" Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked around.


    He saw the Senior Brother Bu was wearing the exact same token Long Ming was holding. Not to mention, me Star Sword Art was derived from Scorching Summer Sword Art. However, since it requires pure Yang energy mixed with me qi, it wasn''t suitable for females.


    So, that technique slowly disappeared in the Four Seasons Valley.


    " But this ce¡­ This isn''t Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming frowned. After all, it couldn''t be possible that the entire architecture of Four Seasons Valley shifted after cmity. The ce wasn''t in the valley at all.


    " Well, We should really thank Empress Hong for building such a paradise for us."


    " Indeed, The Beast Raising Garden is really useful. At least we aren''t going tock materials now,"


    '' Empress Hong? Heavenly Emperor Crimson Sky?''


    Long Ming was surprised. He knew her very well, after all, she was the disciple of Empress Winter Song and thest Heavenly Emperor of Four Seasons Valley.


    '' Wait, If this ce was built by her¡­ Could it be¡­''


    " Hey, Do you know? Brother Lao is going to challenge the ming Mountain today."


    " Really?"


    Long Ming''s suspicion was right. Such a prosperous ce was indeed Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    With excitement, Long Ming shifted the time as he watched the final thing that the token experienced. But then, his eyes turned wide as his hair stood on its end.


    " Run! Run away!"


    " Fuck! What was that thing!"


    " Grand Elder and Fifth Elder are fighting that thing! Hurry up and escape!"


    Long Ming saw that the ground was shaking as fissures appeared. The buildings had long copsed, and even the formations couldn''t protect them.


    In the distance, the sky was already blood red, and a suffocating aura was suppressing the entire ce.


    Lights shed around as golden light formed thousand meter swords in the sky. The sword moved as they charged toward the ming Mountain.


    " Fuck! Four Direction Grand Sword Formation is activated!"


    " Look! Grand Elder is using Empress Hong''s Sr me Wheel!"


    Long Ming shuddered as he saw the fight from afar. Dozens of experts flew around as various mystical arts and ancient weapons shed in the sky.


    In front of them stood a gigantic monster. It was like a pir of darkness with a roaming tentacle around it. What''s more, it kept growing and growing.


    " Damn it¡­ There is no point in running."


    Senior Brother Bu gnashed his teeth as he charged at the monster. '' The Azure Sun Realm is already blocked. We need to kill this monster to escape!"


    " Hah! Since there is no escape, why not fight back?"


    The final thing Long Ming saw was that the Sect Master, Grand Elder, and other elders of that time used their True Blood, the Heavenly Empress''s personal weapon, and three high grade spiritual veins to bury that monster.


    However, with that, they also made huge sacrifices.


    Other than the Sect Master who was already half dead, none of the other elders survived. As for the disciples, most of them were dead.


    The token fell as it was buried with mud and blood, making the surroundings darkened.


    '' Fuck¡­ You are telling me that monster was the cmity Four Seasons Valley faced a thousand years ago?'' Long Ming returned to reality as he smiled bitterly.


    '' Are you saying that monster was still lurking in ming Mountain? Is he killing Four Seasons Valley disciples out of rage?''


    '' Mom, I am scared!''


    Long Ming ended his Temporal Fate Simtion as he already consumed 90% of his spiritual qi. He realize it was still better than remaining in dark.


    Since he already knew the root of the problem, Long Ming decided to make some ns for the Azure Sun Sacred Realm.

 Chapter 139 Secret Realm Entrance Opens

    <h4>Chapter 139 Secret Realm Entrance Opens</h4>


    *BOOOM BOOM*


    The sky filled with various flying boats, swords, and gigantic mounts. There was a giant ruin outside the Azure Fragrance City''s north side. Among the ruins, there were several jade pirs that stood erect, soaring to the sky.


    Soon, the cultivators from various sects and ns gathered there as the entire area became bustling.


    " Look! That''s Purple Cloud Sect! I heard their Senior Disciple Lual ready reached half step Harmonization Realm!"


    " Nah, I think that''s probably rumors."


    " Here, Six Sword Pavilion is also here."


    " Is that Ling Yuan?"


    " Damn it, Just look at him. The sharp sword aura around him is overwhelming."


    " Do you think he mastered Sword Intent?"


    " That would be too terrifying. After all, I don''t think he is much old at all."


    " Huh, Who are they?"


    " Is that¡­"


    Suddenly, a flying boatnded and a group of female disciples walked out from it. All of them had a graceful bearing, even the most ordinary looking girl could be considered as a beauty.


    Taking slow steps, they walked on the field along with their elders.


    " Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Heh, No matter how weak it has be, The female disciples of Four Seasons Valley were always top notch."


    " Huh? Wait, Who is that?"


    Suddenly, the faces of all males froze and the female cultivators felt their expressions turning bright.


    " Heavens! Who is he?"


    " Wait, I heard Four Seasons Valley appointed a male True Disciple? Is that true?"


    " Fuck! Who is that lucky bastard?!"


    " I heard his name was, Long Ming? Don''t you know what he did in Treasure Market?"


    " Huh? You mean that young man who casually swept Abstract Intent Jades with hundreds of millions high grade spirit stones?"


    Long Ming walked among the group of girls like a sole dragon among the flock of phoenixes. Lin Xie, Chen Yin, and Chu Li were happily talking with Long Ming. Shui Huan and others also couldn''t help but befortable around Long Ming.


    " Whoa? Who is that brother?"


    " Such a body, Such a face. Could it be that''s why Four Seasons Valley made him the the True Disciple?"


    " Junior Brother, Can we have some private talk?"


    " Young Brother, Are you willing to apany this sister tonight?"


    Long Ming smiled wryly as he gently held his Plum Blossoms Fan.


    '' My, The fangirls here are no less than these simp guys. Immortal World feels more bnced than modern Earth.''


    " Heh, Look at them. How about we bet how many disciples of Four Seasons Valley are going to die this time?"


    Long Ming heard the taunt as he turned his head and looked there. He saw a bunch of disiples along with their elders standing, looking at the group of Four Seasons Valley with hostility.


    Long Ming instantly understood who they were as he saw someone familiar. It was none other than Li Qingxin.


    '' So, they are from Blissful Heaven Temple, huh?'' Long Ming snorted in his heart.


    Wu Liang didn''t gave much expression, but a light smile appeared on her lips. " Well, Elder Chi, The one who curses others gets the retribution of heaven first."


    " Heh, Elder Wu, I guess you are pretty confident this time, huh?" Elder Chi of Blisfull Heaven Temple snorted. " Unfortunately, I can only see a bloody cmity for your disciples."


    " Is that so?"


    Everyone looked at Mu Qinglian who stepped forward. Wearing s light blue dress and a veil hiding her face, she was looking stunning, like a white lotus in a clear pool.


    " Well, I guess Elder Chi is hinting about something, hm?" Mu Qinglian gave a light chuckle." It would be sad if the bloody cmity appeared on the disciples of Heaven''s Sanctuary disciples."


    " Hmph!"


    As Elder Chi was about to snort, his expression changed. Not only his, but all cultivators present felt a pressure of true qi as they looked forward.


    An auspicious cloudnded, revealing a middle aged man walking out. He wore a simple dark robe with fine silver patterns. However, the patterns gave him an air of nobility.


    " Grand General Zhou?"


    " You mean the Grand General of Holy Qilin Empire? Zhou Han?"


    " I see. So, thai time, General Zhou came to represent the Imperial Family, huh?"


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he gazed at General Zhou. The robust true qi around him was concealing a tremendous blood qi, which he gained through countless battles and killings.


    '' Hmm? Low stage Nine Transformations of Soul Realm, huh?'' Long Ming gazed at him with various thoughts.


    ording to his divine senses, Grand General Zhou could be one of the most powerful people present here, if not the most powerful one. He alone represents the might and power of the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire.


    Behind him, another group of youngsters walked out behind General Zhou.


    Wearing a regal robe, one young man stood most out of everyone. Long Ming could see his robe wasn''t ordinary at all, but an Innate type Noble grade armor in disguise.


    " Third Prince, Please."


    General Zhou bowed lightly, making way for the young man.


    " Third Prince? Ah! He is the Third Prince of the Holy Qilin Empire!"


    " Prince Qin Zhong?"


    " Look, Along with Qin Zhong, Fourth Prince Qin Chen is also here this time."


    Long Ming saw another young man. With a tranquil gaze and amicable smile, he looked very approachable.


    But if Long Ming were to pick between Qin Zhong and Qin Chen, he would rather pice the arrogant Qin Zhong than the amicable Qin Chen.


    '' I will be a fool if Ipletely trust these royal bastards.''


    Long Ming mumbled in his heart. But, he had to admit, the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire wasn''tcking in resources or manpower at all.


    Not to mention, there was a person who stood disguised behind Qin Chen. Long Ming could feel that person is at least at the Mid stage of the Harmonization Realm.


    Long Ming frowned as he turned his head to Wu Liang. " Elder Wu, I thought the limit of Azure Sun Sacred Realm is only allowed persons below Low stage of Harmonization Realm? Can cultivators with high cultivation stage enter?"


    " Well, technically, They can." Wu Liang looked at Long Ming as she nodded. " As long as the heavenlyws set by Empress Crimson Sky don''t detect the aura that exceeds the Low stage of Harmonization Realm, it won''t act at all."


    " There are many treasures and medicinal pills that can temporarily suppress or conceal someone''s cultivation stage. As long? as the heavenlyws don''t detect, it will be fine."


    " Then, Wouldn''t it be disadvantageous for low level cultivators?" Long Ming frowned.


    " Well, Inside the secret realm, most power of high level cultivators would be restricted. Well, although the juniors can''t match with powerful cultivators'' experience, the handicap in power could make a low level cultivator kill a high level one."


    Long Ming suddenly understood everything, making a strange grin appear on his lips. " So, Grand Elder, As long as I want to kill a powerful cultivator inside Azure Sun Sacred Realm, I just need to make them release their full power, right?"


    Wu Liang was stunned when she saw Long Ming''s smile. " Haha, Brat, You already made some wicked ns, huh?"


    " Yes, If they release their aura once, they would be as good as dead." Wu Liang nodded. " After all, Who can oppose the realmws set by a Heavenly Emperor?"


    " Alright, Everyone, Give your attention here."


    An old man wearing coarse clothes appeared in front of everyone, his voice boomed across the entire ce.


    " Daoist Zhi of Pill Martial Tower?"


    " Ah, Isn''t he the famous Alchemist King? What is he doing here this time?"


    " Wee everyone." Daoist Zhi smiled. " Thanks to His Highness, He gave me the opportunity to manage this event."


    " The Azure Sun Secret Realm used to be a part of Four Seasons Valley. Yet now, It''s a ce any capable person can enter." He chuckled.


    When the Four Seasons Valley disciples heard that, they couldn''t help but feel annoyed and vexed. But currently, there was nothing they could do.


    " The secret realm shall stay open for three days. During three days, you can explore the secret realm as you wish."


    " However, along with fortunes, the Azure Sun Secret Realm is filled with countless dangers. Not only do you need to be careful of traps and demonic beasts, you also need to stay alert from humans."


    " After three days, You must return to the entrance of the secret realm." Daoist Zhi warned. " If you get trapped in the secret realm, you won''t be able to stay alive for long and no one wille to rescue you."


    " With this, Let the secret realm open!"


    Formation Masters gathered around the towering jade pirs as they ced various formation tes around it,


    The runic chains shone as the jade pirs lit up with a blinding radiance.


    Amidst the jade pirs, the space became distorted as a multicolored portal appeared.


    " Those with Imperial Tokens, please move forward."


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked at the girls around him.


    " Junior sisters, are you feeling afraid?"


    The disciples of Four Seasons Valley looked at each other and nodded. Lin Xie stood forward.


    " Senior Brother, We are indeed feeling anxious. However, as long as you are with us, we will naturally be safe."


    " Indeed, With Senior Brother Long here, I believe we can easily explore the Secret Realm." Chu Li smiled.


    " Hehe, Senior Brother, It seems like you are getting very popr, huh?" Luo Yingying teased Long Ming.


    Shui Huan also smiled. But when she remembered the scene where Long Ming yed with Lin Xie and Chen Yin, her face became hot.


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian looked at each other and smiled. But they could also feel apetitive aura around them.


    " Alright, Let''s go!"


    Soon, Long Ming saw many familiar faces. Some are hostile like Jia Qing, Li Qingxin, and Liu Ye. He also saw the friendly faces of Ling Yuan, Xu Jian and Liu Jiang.


    And then, there was Jiang Wanxue and her group.


    '' How amusing...''

 Chapter 140 Treasures of Outer Zone

    <h4>Chapter 140 Treasures of Outer Zone</h4>


    The sunlight was mellow and warm, the atmosphere felt more serene than outside. The lush green forest spread across thends, one can only see mountains and forest till the horizon.


    " Such a pure and ancient True Qi. Cultivating here for one day is the same as cultivating a week outside." Long Ming took a deep breath as his eyes shone. "Besides, the concentration of natural elements is so dense."


    " Sister Mu, Do you know where we are?" Luo Yingying looked at Mu Qinglian as she asked.


    "? Well, Let me check the map." Mu Qinglian nodded as she took out the map. " Hmm, it looks like we are teleported to the southern region of Outer Zone.


    " Southern Region?" Long Ming also studied the map thoroughly. What''s more, he also studied the memory of the old sect token of Senior Brother Bu.


    " Alright, Here is the n. We are going to the Southern Sentry Tower of the Inner Zone. So, we are going through this path." Long Ming quickly sorted the path.


    " We have three days. So, today, our target would be the Southern Sentry Tower."


    *AWOOO AWOOO*


    The disciples were shocked as they quickly drew their weapons. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked at his surroundings.


    His Soul Molding Bell swayed as Long Ming''s divine sense spread like a.


    " Alright, We have encountered a pack of Green Eyed Wolves." Long Ming spoke in a mild voice.


    " It''s a pack of True Core Formation Realm demonic beasts. The pack leader is a half step Primordial Spirit Unification Realm demonic beast."


    Long Ming looked at the disciples and smiled. " Junior sisters, I did my best in giving you various lectures, right?"


    " Chu Li, you take all the disciples who were in True Core Formation Realm and kill all the wolves."


    Chu Li nodded as she bowed lightly. " As you say, Brother Long."


    " Sister Luo, Have you distributed themunication bracelets to all of them?" Long Ming looked at Luo Yingying.


    " Rest assured, Brother Long." Luo Yingying smiled. " As long as they are within a ten kilometer radius, they canmunicate with each other. And, if they are still inside a hundred kilometer radius, we can track their positions."


    Thanks to the help of Long Mig''sprehension and Luo Yingying''s talent, they finally made a powerful yet concealedmunication bracelet for the disciples of Four Seasons Valley.


    " I see. Brother Long wishes to give them somebat experience." Chen Yin chuckled. " But, Brother Long, What if some mishap happens? The Green Eyed Wolves are very notorious demonic beasts. Not only they are agile and aggressive, but they always roam in paks, making it difficult to hunt them."


    " Don''t worry, Sister Chen. They will be fine." Long Ming looked at the disciples who were approaching the Green Eyed Wolves.


    " A nt grown in a garden can never withstand a powerful storm. Those girls are the foundation of our sect. If they don''t get mature, our sect will never be able to rise again."


    " I have given them all the equipment and theoretical knowledge. Now, how to utilize it? That depends on them."


    " So, What are we going to do?" Lin Xie looked at Long Ming.


    " What? Don''t think we came here for a pic." Long Ming rolled his eyes. " We need to find rare resources for our sect. Herbs, materials, and demon beast cores, we need all of them."


    " But Brother Long, We are in Outer Zone. I don''t think there are any precious materials here." Ming Yuexin pondered.


    " Not really." Long Ming grinned. " I think there is a perfect ce where we can go."


    Using the memories of the disciple token, Long Ming realized that there used to be some quarters of the disciples in the Outer Zone.


    The Azure Sun Secret Realm used to be an active part of Four Seasons Valley. Only powerful elders and cream of the crop disciples used to stay and train here.


    For example, The Senior Brother Bu was a Mid stage Harmonization Realm cultivator when he fought and died here. Not to mention, he was barely in his thirties yet he reached Harmonization Realm.


    There were other disciples, more or less powerful than Senior Brother Bu. And few of them made their abode in the Outer Zone.


    " Where are we going?" Mu Qinglian asked.


    " Just follow me." Long Ming grinned as he walked in a certain direction. Suddenly, they entered a broken abode and walked to a garden.


    " Stay here. There is something ahead." Long Ming suddenly paused as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone. " There¡­ There is a trigger."


    Luo Yingying was surprised as she also activated her Spirit Vision. " There is a formation! It''s a concealment formation!"


    Luo Yingying squatted down as she took out an inscription pen. Slowly, the wall before them vanished, making a path for them.


    " Well, Chen Yin, Lin Xie, and Luo Yingying go forward." Long Ming spoke. " There is a High grade Primordial Spirit Unification Realm Demon beast there."


    " What? High grade Primordial Spirit Unification Realm Demon beast?" The three of them became shocked.


    Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming with some concern. " If there is such a demon beast, I should help them. After all, A high-grade Primordial Spirit Unification Realm demon beast can fight with three ordinary cultivators of the same realm. Not to mention, Luo Yingying isn''t very powerful in terms of power."


    Long Ming waved his hands. " It''s alright. As long as you coordinate well, You can easily take down that beast. And Luo Yingying, if you can''t fight, that doesn''t mean you can''t support them."


    " Yes, Senior Brother."


    " We are going in."


    Long Ming, Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian stayed behind as Chen Yin, Lin Xie and Luo Yingying walked forward.


    " I see¡­ That bastard is hiding very well. It looks like it''s? guarding something." Mu Qinglian''s eyes narrowed as she also sensed something.


    " Huh? Sister Mu, Why can''t I sense the demonic beast?" Ming Yuexin was startled. After all, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian already spotted the demonic beast, yet Ming Yuexin couldn''t find any trace of it at all.


    " It''s a Rock Poison Serpent." Mu Qinglian spoke with a serious voice.


    " What? A Rock Poison Serpent?!" Ming Yuexin was shocked. " Then, It would be very difficult for them to defeat it!"


    " Sister Ming, Why not watch their performance first?" Long Ming smiled. " I am sure they will be able to defeat it."z


    With Chen Yin and Lin Xie''s improvement and Luo Yingying''s methods, Long Ming felt they could easily fight against the Rock Poison Serpent.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    They watched Lin Xie unsheathing her sword as the air filled with sharp ice sharps. The sharp ice shards turned into miniature swords and sliced at the Rock Poison Serpent.


    As its name implies, it was a giant snake with skin rough and strong as rocks. Its two eyes shone with bright green light, with its serpentine tongue flicking out with malice.


    Suddenly, it opened its mouth and spat out a rain of green liquid.


    " Autumn Breeze Break!"


    Chen Yin''s sword merged with the wind itself and created a burst of sharp wind. The wind des carried the aura of autumn as it stopped the rain of green liquid.


    The green liquid was truly corrosive. Wherever it sshed, it rendered the ground with holes.


    No wonder it was called Rock Poison Serpent.


    Luo Yingying used her movement techniques as she circled around the serpent. She suddenly threw a dozen of formation tes around, making them shine with light.


    " Confusion Mist Formation!"


    Suddenly, the serpent became engulfed, making its senses befuddled.


    " Hurry up! The Confusion Mist Formation won''t be able to hold it back for long!" Luo Yingying shouted.


    " Leave it to us!"


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin charged forward as they unleashed their sword techniques.


    " Frozen Wind sh!"


    " Autumn Breeze Dance!"


    *BOOM BOOM*


    The icy qi and power of wind bombarded on the serpent''s body, making it hiss it pain. It twisted its body as it tried to flee. However, since it was a closed area, it couldn''t go anywhere at all.


    " Earthen Spear Talisman!"


    Luo Yingying threw out a dozen talismans. When the talismansnded, spears made of stones shot out from the ground, nailing down the serpent. As the serpent''s movement became restricted, Lin Xie and Chen Yin finally managed to take it down.


    " This¡­ Since when Lin Xie managed to use Ice Sword Qi?"


    " Chen Ying is no less than her. Her sword seemed to be merged with the wind itself. She reached the perfection stage of her technique!"


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian were shocked. Although they knew Lin Xie and Chen Yin were talented, they didn''t know their power increased this much.


    " Alright, Take out all the valuable parts of the demonic beasts. Now, we need to take a look at the real treasure." Long Ming smiled as he stepped forward.


    He walked where the serpent was originally hiding. There, he stepped as the space became distorted.


    " This¡­ This is Vermillion me Fruit!"


    " This is a ten thousand year old medicinal herb!"


    " And, There are some other rare medicinal herbs here! All of them are older than five thousand years old!"


    The Rock Poison Serpent was guarding another concealment formation inside the garden which protected various herbs.


    There are more than ten Vermillion me Fruits hanging on the tree. It looked like the serpent was going to consume everything to boost its cultivation.


    " Damn it! This bastard was hiding a lot of treasures!"


    All of them swiftly plundered everything and took the corpse of the Rock Poison Serpent.


    " Senior Brother, You are so good!"


    " Yeah! We didn''t expect to find so many things in the Outer Region!"


    Long Ming waved his hands. " It''s alright. We need to hurry up and gather as many resources in the Outer Zone. After all, We need to reach Southern Sentry Tower by today."


    Long Ming realized that everyone had enough strength to defeat any kind of trouble in the Outer Region. So, he pointed out some ces in the Outer Zone.


    " We will meet here in three hours."


    " Yes!"


    After three hours, everyone gathered at a single point. The group who went to hunt the Green Eyed Wolves came back ragged and battered. However, other than some shallow injuries, there was no major problems with them.


    " Senior Brother! We did it!"


    " We killed the entire pack of the wolves!"


    Long Ming smiled as he looked at everyone. " Since there isn''t much in Outer Zone, let''s depart to the Southern Sentry Tower."


    The Southern Sentry Tower marks the entrance of the Inner Zone. And soon, the disciples of Four Seasons Valley walked toward it.


    But not before long, they found some demonic beasts blocking their path.


    Yet, none of them were Long Minb''s concern. After all, his precious sisters were doing all the works.


    Such a good life, Ah.

 Chapter 141 Find Secrets

    <h4>Chapter 141 Find Secrets</h4>


    As it was already afternoon, the group of Four Seasons Valley reached the Southern Sentry Tower.


    It was one of the checkpoints on the border of the Outer Zone and Inner Zone. So, there were many people around it, either resting or inspecting.


    Long Ming could see at least five different teams and a bunch of rouge cultivators.


    The stone tower stood magnificently, marking the entrance of the Inner Zone. Although it long lost its former glory, the tower could still make someone feel awe.


    " ording to the records, the tower used to guard the Inner and Core Zone of Azure Sun Secret Realm. It was also used to be a watch tower for Beast Garden."


    " But after the cmity broke, the beasts inside the beast garden became free and spread across the entire realm." Luo Yingying sighed.


    " Well, There aren''t many things in Souther Sentry Tower. You can say it''s just a safe spot inside the Azure Sun Secret Realm." Mu Qinglian added.


    " Very well, Then let''s rest here for a bit." Long Ming nodded. He left everyone at the top of the tower.


    From the top, they could see a beautiful scenery of vast forests and various distant ruins.


    " Wo! It''s so beautiful!"


    " Indeed, It''s really a scenic spot!"


    Long Ming smiled when he saw the energetic face of the girls. Even Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but gaze at the setting sun.


    [ Ding! New Quest arrived! Mystery Seeker!]


    [ As a genius, you should try to uncover the hidden secrets that elude from everyone''s eyes. Only by doing it, you can surpass the mindset of ordinary people!]


    [ Find the hidden secret of Southern Sentry Tower!]


    [ Reward: A White Silver grade Chest!]


    [ Failure: APlum Blossom Fan will vanish]


    Long Ming''s expression turned dark when he saw that.? Taking away the Plum Blossom Fan? Such an outrageous joke!


    Taking away such an exquisite fan from him, how can he act like a proper young master without it?


    '' But a hidden secret? Here?'' Long Ming pondered. '' I thought a ce like this should have plundered long ago.''


    " Junior Sisters, Rest here for a bit. Meanwhile, I shall be checking around the surroundings." Long Ming looked at everyone and spoke.


    " Wait! I aming with you." Ming Yuexin stepped forward as she walked beside Long Ming with a smile. " Well, Brother Long, Shall we go?"


    " Wait!"


    Long Ming and Ming Yuexin paused as they looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " I am alsoing with you." Mu Qinglian spoke with a straight face.


    " Huh? Sister Mu, Shouldn''t you stay here with them?" Ming Yuexin spoke with a smirk. " I mean, Who is going to supervise them?"


    " I don''t think they are ignorant childrens." Mu Qinglian spoke with a smile. " Not to mention, we are going to stay nearby, right?"


    " Haha, Really?"


    Long Ming felt his palms turning sweaty as he looked at both Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin, staring at each other with a polite smile. However, the atmosphere was tense as usual.


    " No need. I am going alone." Long Ming gave a dry coughed as he waved his hands.


    " But¡­"


    " I am going."


    Long Ming didn''t want the situation to escte. So he turned around and ran away hastily. Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian sighed when they saw that.


    " Hmm, I winder what could be hidden here?"


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he scanned the Souther ry Tower. There were other cultuvators there.


    " Hey! What are you doing?!"


    Long Ming suddenly heard amotion as he turned his gaze at that ce.


    A burly man stood in front of a group of young men with an evil smirk.


    " Fellow Daoists, I heard you have a five hundred year old me Grass. How about you sell it for thousand mid grade stones to me?"


    " What?! Are you crazy?"


    One of them retorted instantly. " Thousand mid grade spirit stones? What a? joke!"


    " This alone cost at least a thousand High grade spirit stones!"


    The burly manughed when he heard that. " Well, Fellow Daoists! You are correct. That''s indeed the price of a five hundred year old me Grass."


    " However, you would only be able to receive that much if you guys managed to walk out alive from this secret realm." The burly men snorted.


    " You know, there are lots of idents happening in the Azure Sun Secret Realm. Who knows¡­ if something happens to you¡­"


    " Bastard! Don''t mess with us!"


    " Elder Brother, Let''s teach him a lesson!"


    Suddenly, two more people appeared around the burly man as theyughed. Their aura was at the Peak of True Core Realm. The group of three young men was naturally weaker than them.


    Long Ming was nning to ignore them. After all, in a secret realm, there is now.


    If you are weak, then you are naturally the one who is at fault.


    However, as Long Ming was about to leave, his eyes sparkled. He suddenly saw a wall nearby the two groups were fighting was a little unusual.


    " Hmm, Maybe¡­ It''s there?'' Long Ming felt a surge of excitement as he walked there.


    " Hey, Fellow Brothers, Can you please fight somewhere else?" Long Ming smiled as he looked at the two groups. " I need to do something here. So, leave this ce."


    " Hey, Look at him. What the hell is he trying to do?"


    The burly man frowned when Long Ming walked between him and the group of young men.


    " Brat! Don''t stand in my way!" The burly man snorted. " Else, Don''t me me for being impolite."


    " Ah, Is that so?" Long Ming gave a nod of understanding. As the burly man smiled with satisfaction, a punchnded on his face.


    *BOOM*


    A few teeth along with a puddle of blood fell on the ground as the burly man shot a few meters away.


    " Boss!"


    "Bastard! I will kill you!"


    Long Ming casually swatted his Plum Blossom Fan when he saw the two subordinates of the burly man charging at him.


    His movement was graceful as if he was trying to fan them gently. However, when the fannded on their body, they felt like their bones shattering.


    With two ps, both of them were lying along with their boss. The group of young men were stunned when they saw that.


    " B-Brother, Thank you for your help." One of them spoke hurriedly.


    " Now, If you don''t have anything to do, scram." Long Ming gave them a side-eye.


    The group nodded hurriedly as they ran away. Long Ming''s eyes scanned the wall and he found a small formation hidden. With his spiritual qi, he triggered it, making him enter the wall.


    " Huh? Where did he go?!"


    " He vanished!"


    " Could it be¡­ There is a secret door there?!"


    The cultivators surged as they looked at the wall with shock.


    " Hmm? There isn''t much here."


    Long Ming was inside a small room. It looked like it was a small quarter of someone. Along with a bed and a table, there was a small bookshelf.


    Long Ming took all of them and scanned the room. Seeing there was nothing valuable, he walked out.


    Reappearing outside, Long Ming didn''t stay there and returned to where the group of Four Seasons Valley was resting.


    But the crowd''s eyes remained fixed on him.


    " Treasure! He must have gotten some treasure!"


    " Hurry and inform everyone!"


    " Ah! Senior Brother! You are back!"


    " Did you find something?''


    '' Maybe?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at them. " I guess we have rested enough? How about we resume our journey?"


    " Sure."


    Everyone nodded with enthusiasm. After resting, they again began their journey through the forest.


    " Senior Brother, Where are we going?"


    " Spirit Spring Stele." Long Ming spoke


    Long Ming took the lead as they walked. With asional encounters with demonic beasts, there was nothing much.


    Long Ming scanned the books he got from the room one by one. There wasn''t much information in the first two books. However, the third book was actually a diary written by a servant.


    Other than the daily mundane things, there was nothing much. However, Long Ming noticed a particr note.


    It looked like something happened to one of the five major spirit veins of the Azure Sun Secret Realm. Along with that, there was also some prophecy left behind by Empress Crimson Sky, about some cmity that Four Seasons Valley might face.


    After that, the next pages were normal before the abrupt chaos. The servant was also someone who was affected by the cmity of the Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    As his cultivation wasn''t high, he didn''t participate in the major battle. However, he still got affected. Before his death, he recorded some things about the cmity and the things that happened that day.


    '' I see¡­ If that''s the case¡­'' Long Ming reached a conclusion that made his body shiver. However, thinking too much about that will result in nothing.


    [ Ding! Quest Completed! Host gets a White Silver Grade Chest!]


    " Do you know what the Spirit Spring Stele is?" Chu Li turned and asked Shu Huan.


    " Well, You can say it''s a testing ce for disciples of old Four Seasons Valley." Luo Yingying answered.


    " It''s an ancient stelle, covered with various formations. As long as you can show that you have enough strength, it will grant you a drop of Spirit Milk. "


    The Spirit Milk can be very beneficial for cultivators of True Core Formation Realm. And it''s also a material for pills for Primordial Spirit Unification Realm."

 Chapter 142 Spirit Spring Stele

    <h4>Chapter 142 Spirit Spring Stele</h4>


    *BOOM*


    A cultivator stood before a stone monument as he raised his fist and punched at it. The stone monument shone with a dim light as a single circle appeared on it.


    " Tch, A single circle of power? You should be ashamed!"


    " Hurry up and get off! Let me try!"


    Long Ming and the group of Four Seasons Valley reached the Spirit Spring Stele, where arge crowd was gathering before it.


    The enthusiastic cultivators punched the stele with all their strength. After their punch, a circle would appear on it.


    A Peak True Core Formation realm cultivator walked forward and punched the stele. The stele shone with a bright light with ten rings. Suddenly, a drop of crystal clear water appeared befoe him, entering his body.


    " Is that Spirit Milk?" Long Ming looked at it with surprise. " I don''t think so. The aura of that drop is so weak."


    " Indeed, Brother Long is right. That''s not Spirit Milk, but Spirit Spring Water. You can say it''s a diluted version of Spirit Milk." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    " As you can see, there were various names written on the stele. Those are the ones who set records with their power. As long as you can break their records, you will receive a substantial amount of Spirit Milk. Otherwise, you will only get a drop of Spirit Spring Water."


    Long Ming nodded as he looked at the list on the Spirit Spring Stele. In the fourth position, he saw a name, Bu Lingchun.


    " I see¡­ So Senior Brother Bu was in the fourth position, huh?" Long Ming rubbed his chin. He saw Bu Lingchun make a hundred circles shine at once.


    " So, How does this work? Sheer power? Orprehension?" Long Ming asked.


    " Well, Mix of both." Mu Qinglian spoke. " The stele judges your power respective to your cultivation realm. So, if you have enoughprehension and strength in Violet Pce Expansion Realm, you can also light up more circles than a True Core Formation Realm."


    " But still, the cultivation realm also has its limit. So, You need to have a higher cultivation base andprehension for better rewards."


    " Hmph! Hurry up and get out!"


    " Scram to the side. We are going to use it now."


    Mu Qinglian and others frowned when they saw a group of disciples surrounding the Spirit Spring Stele. Seeing their uniform, Long Ming recognized them.


    " Zhongye Sect disciples?"


    " Damn it! Are they trying to monopolize this ce?!"


    The other cultivators became dissatisfied when they saw the Zhongye Sect disciples were covering the Spirit Spring Stele. Long Ming suddenly saw a familiar face.


    It was none other than Yan Ziren, who was leading those disciples.


    " Well, Look who is here?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he walked forward. The Zhongye Sect disciples became startled as they pointed their weapons at Long Ming.


    " Halt!"


    " Who are you?!"


    Yan Ziren was shooing away other cultivators. But when he heard Long Ming''s voice, his body became stiff. Turning back, he saw Long Ming''s smiling face, making him feel awkward.


    " Brother Yan, We met again." Long Ming looked at Yan Ziren. " I guess Zhongye Sect purchased some additional slots after losing the tokens to our sect, huh?"


    Hearing Long Ming''s words, Yan Zirent couldn''t help but feel anger. " Long Ming, Don''t you think that you became superior after defeating me once? Hmph, I am much more powerful than the previous time."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming fanned himself with his Plum Blossom Fan. " Well, It''s not like I am about that. However, I don''t like you are treating the Spirit Spring Stele as your private property."


    " What? Are you trying to be righteous?" Before Yan Ziren could speak, another young man walked forward as he looked at Long Ming.


    Long Ming looked at the young man with a smile. " This dao brother is¡­"


    " I am Shu Yanlin, Core Disciple of Zhongye Sect."


    " I see. You must be more powerful than Yan Ziren, huh?" Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed. " Unfortunately, You should havee to the Four Seasons Valley. I could have fought with a better opponent."


    " Hmph, if I went there, Our sect wouldn''t have lost so many tokens." Shu Yanlin snorted. Yan Ziren almost choked when he heard Long Ming. He wasn''t a good opponent? Was he a weakling?


    Long Ming looked at Shu Yanlin, his Heavenly Revtion Eyes showed the cultivation of Shu Yanlin. He was already at the threshold of the Peak stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    " Well, I was also thinking about my junior sisters testing their strength on the Spirit Spring Stele." Long Ming closed the paper fan. " Now, The thing is¡­ Who is going to go first?"


    " First? It''s obviously us." Yan Ziren snorted. " We arrived here first. How can we allow you to use the Spirit Spring Stele before us?!"


    Well, Technically, The rouge cultivators arrived here first." Long Ming shrugged.


    " Long Ming, is it?" Shu Yanlin''s eyes narrowed. " Are you trying to pick a fight with our sect?"


    Shu Yanlin''s eyes shed when he saw Mu Qinglian and other disciples with Long Ming. A pang of jealously appeared in his heart.


    '' Damn it, This bastard really got a pretty boy face. He is also hanging around with so many beauties all the time.'' He cursed in his heart.


    But then, a sudden thought appeared in his mind. " Well, If we fight here, it will be a loss for both of our sects. How about we fight in a different way?"


    " Different way?" Long Ming raised his eyebrows.


    " This Spirit Spring Stele¡­ How about wepare our power here?" Shu Yanlin pointed at it. " The one with more circles shall win."


    " Well, It''s fine by me." Long Mingughed lightly. Shu Yanlin snorted in his heart when he heard that.


    '' Just wait and see how I humiliate you.''


    Shu Yanlin was in a secluded cultivation session when Zhongye Sect challenged Four Seasons Valley. Therefore, He felt that rather than Long Ming''s power, it was Yan Ziren''s ipetency that made Zhongye Sect lose both their face and tokens.


    Not to mention, He was extremely confident in breaking the records in Spirit Spring Stele as he was prepared for it.


    " Then, I am going first."


    Shu Yanlin walked at the Spirit Spring Stele as he swung his arms. A bright glow covered his fist as his aura exploded. His fist gave off an oppressive feeling as if it could shatter anything.


    *BOOOOM*


    The Spirit Spring Stele lit up brightly as numerous circles appeared on it. The shockwave of the punch was enough to knock the weak cultivators to the ground.


    " Eighty¡­ Eighty circles!"


    " My goodness! He made Eighty circles appear at once!"


    Shu Yanlin basked in the light of the Spirit Spring Stele as he used his fingers to write his name on it. Soon, his name appeared on the eighth ce.


    With a smug look, he looked at Long Ming. " What? Are you stoo scared to step up now?"


    " Scared? I don''t think so."


    Long Ming looked at Shu Yanlin with amusement as he walked forward. Looking at the stone stele, Long Ming calmed his heart. He pondered for a moment to think which technique he should use.


    '' Well, Let''s go with this one.''


    Long Ming suddenly used his Great Mystic Mountain Physique and gathered the power and weight of the mountain into his fist. His fist filled with a muddy yellow light, making it weigh more and more.


    However, Long Ming took a step back and used the technique he learned recently.


    " Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist! Great Ocean Fist!"


    Everyone suddenly felt a burst of refreshing aura from Long Ming, as if a giant wave of water appeared behind him. When his fistnded on the stele, it was like a wave of tsunami crashing on it.


    *BOOOOM*


    Long Ming alreadyprehended the technique and acquired the Intent of Water thanks to the system reward. Now, he was using the technique with the tremendous power of his Great Mystic Mountain Physique.


    One hundred and eight rings appeared on the stele, shining dazzling before the cultivators.


    Long Ming smiled as he surpassed Bu Lingchun and reached third ce. His spiritual qi surged as he wrote his name in the third ce.


    A string of milky liquid appeared as it turned into a small sphere in front of Long Ming. Long Ming took out a jade bottle and collected it.


    Shu Yanlin only received a drop of Spirit Milk while Long Ming received an entire bottle of it.


    Shu Yanlin felt his eyes will pop out from shock. " Wh-What the hell! How can this happen!"


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. " Well, It just happened. So, I guess ording to our bet, Our Four Seasons Valley will use this stele first."


    " Yo-You!!"


    Shu Yanlin quivered with anger as he wanted to refute. However, the disciples of Four Seasons Valley already started to use the stele to gauge their strength.


    As time passed, Long Ming''s eyelids twitched as he sensed something unusual.


    " What is it?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming and asked.


    " Nothing¡­ I just felt something was watching us." Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, but he didn''t find anything unusual.


    " Let''s hurry up and explore the Inner Zone. There are more precious treasures and herbs here."


    Ming Yuexin stepped forward and pulled out her sword. With a sh, she shed her sword at the stele.


    *BOOOM*


    She reached the ninth ce instantly.

 Chapter 143 Battle In Night

    <h4>Chapter 143 Battle In Night</h4>


    As Zhongye Sect disciples were seething in anger, the disciples of Four Seasons Valley tested their strength on the Spirit Spring Stele.


    When Ming Yuexin made her move, her power astounded everyone else.


    " Holy! Who the hell she is? I thought only Saintess Mu was the prodigy of Four Seasons Valley. Who is this new girl!"


    " Not only is she so beautiful, but her sword techniques are also so powerful!"


    Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming with a thoughtful expression. " Brother Long, I think I can still do better. Should I try one more time?"


    Long Ming looked at the crowd and shook his head. " That''s fine. You don''t need to go all out here."


    Ming Yuexin nodded as she stepped back. Chu Li, Chen Yin, Lin Xie, and Shu Huan, all of them did their best and attacked the Spirit Spring Stele. And for their results, all of them scored more than fifty rings.


    " Damn it! Since when did Four Seasons Valley disciples became so powerful?"


    " They got so many rings!"


    Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Senior Sister, Are you noy going to try it?"


    " Leave it, there are better ces to test my strength." Mu Qinglian spoke with a faint smile.


    " Hehe, I guess that''s also good." Long Ming understood Mu Qinglian''s intentions.


    " Alright, Since our work is done here, Let''s move forward." Long Ming looked at Yan Ziren and other Zhongye Sect disciples. " Well, You are free to use it now."


    " Hmph!"


    Shu Yanlin felt his cheeks burning with anger when he saw the smug expression of Long Ming. However, he didn''t want an all out fight here. So, he only turned around and instructed his junior disciples.


    After leaving that ce, Long Ming looked at sky. " It''s already evening. I don''t think it will ok to travel in darkness."


    "Indeed, We should camp here tonight." Lin Xie spoke. " Beside, It will only take a single day to explore the entire Inner Zone. As for Core Zone¡­"


    " Didn''t Grand Elder say us to stay away from Core Zone?" Chu Li looked at them and asked.


    " Well, She did said that. However, Core Zone has the Herbal Sanctuary, Comprehension Pond, Beast Garden and the ming Mountain, which are very beneficial for even cultivators of Harmonization Realm." Chen Yin answered.


    " Wouldn''t it be too much of a waste if we let other sects to take advatanage of it?"


    " But, Core Zone is equally dangerous."


    Mu Qinglian heard the discussion and looked at Long Ming for his opinion. Long Ming waved his hands. " Alright, We will see that tomorrow. For now, Let''s set up a camp."


    " Huh? Brother Long, I think that ce would be good."


    " Hmm¡­" Long Ming pondered something as he nodded.


    " Yes, But with a little bit of change."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    It was already night, as the full moon was shining on the deep dark forest. During the night time, it was like the forest became alive.


    The night was the time when most beasts became active. So, even a team filled with the best fighters and equipment will move cautiously.


    However, inside the secret realm, humans can be more terrifying than demonic beasts. After all, it''s easier to fend off an angry demonic beast than a smiling human with a ck heart.


    " Hey¡­. Look at that ce!"


    " The Four Seasons Valley disciples are there."


    " I think they split into two parts. What should we do?"


    " Move ording to the n."


    A person spoke with a deep voice and handed out talismans.


    " Here, Take these Xuan grade Concealment Talismans. With this, even a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator would able to detect us instantly."


    Slowly, they approached the ce lit up with a bonfire. They could see a young man sitting with some other girls. They were even cooking some wild potatoes on the bonfire.


    *XIU XIU XIU XIU XIU*


    Several bolts of arrow shot at the young man as they struck in his chest.


    " HAA!"


    Three other also jumped out from the bushes as the brandished their weapons, shing at the girls present there.


    " Huh? What''s this?"


    " Wooden stumps?"


    Everyone was stunned when they saw wooden stumps instead of the disciples of Four Seasons Valley. They could also see a talisman on those stumps, which turned into powder after getting attacked.


    " Damn it! It''s a trap!"


    " Hurry and retre-"


    Before the person could finish his sentence, an arrow crackling with purple lightning pierced his head, making it explode like a watermelon.


    " FUCK! AMBUSH!"


    " GATHER AND DEFEND!"


    Unfortunately, it was toote.


    Chen Yin and Lin Xie jumped forward and shed out their sword. The wind rose and ice burst forward. They didn''t held back and used their full power.


    *BOOM BOM*


    The sudden surprise attack caught the attackers off guard. Chen Yin''s sword turned into a powerful gale of wind and shed at one of the attackers.


    Blood sshed as that guy fell on the ground, and one of his arms got severed.


    " Damn it!"


    The one who looked like the leader turned around and stered a talisman around his body. A protective barrier appeared around his body and his speed increased.


    His broadsword burst with a powerful aura as he broke the encirclement of the disciples of Four Seasons Valley, rushing outside.


    *XIU*


    With a whistling noise, an arrow fell on the barrier. Although the barrier withstood the attack, the impact was enough to trip that man.


    " Damn it! Chasing Wind Steps!"


    The man used an agility technique and tried to get away. He never thought Four Seasons Valley would create such a trap for their enemies.


    However, at that moment, the man suddenly turned around his head and the scene before him almost made his eyes pop out.


    Like a pink flower blooming, arge number of purple arrows showered on him. Each of them was humming with a sharp energy,


    The man coughed out a mouthful of blood as his talisman shield couldn''t handle the bombardment anymore. The arrows pierced his hia back and almost made him into a hedgehog.


    *BOOOM*


    The man fell to the ground, someone stepped on his head and pressed it on the ground further.


    " I really felt unusual when the Blissful Heaven Temple and others didn''t attack us. I guess they were really waiting for the night, huh?" Long Ming snorted. He was still holding his Illusiory Lightning Bow.


    Before setting up the camp, Long Ming decided to create a simple trap for hidden enemies. He knew a bonfire inside such a dark forest will attract anyone''s attention.


    So, he asked Luo Yingying to create some Illusion Talismans and set them around the bonfire. And then, he and others rested nearby while hiding their presence.


    After all, anyone with basic intelligence would approach the ce lit up with a bonfire first. It would act as an rm for Four Seasons Valley disciples.


    [ Ding! New Quest appeared! There are enemies who are trying to harm you and yourpanion. Eliminate the threat and emerge victorious!]


    [ Quest Reward: Five Thunder Golden Talisman (Dark Gold grade)


    [Failure: Yourpanion''s death]


    Long Ming narrowed his eyes when he saw that. '' Does that mean these guys aren''t the only ones?''


    *ROAAARRR*


    A deafening roar reverberated in the nearby forest, making Long Ming frown. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked at the ce of roar.


    " Everyone! Stay alert! Two Half step Harmonization Realm demonic beasts are approaching us!"


    Long Ming didn''t kill the man but threw him on the ground as bait. The girls regrouped and took out their weapons.


    " Don''t worry, Me and Ming Yuexin will take the vanguard." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    Ming Yuexin nodded as she held her sword. mes burst around her as a sharp sword intent rose from her body.


    " Look! It''s here!"


    "Damn it! It''s an Obsidian Rhino! And''s a pair of them!"


    Obsidian Rhino is a gigantic demonic beast, with pitch ck skin and two horns shiny as obsidian. Their forte is in their defense, agility, and weight. There were superpowered bulldozers that could raze down anything on their way.


    " Burning Sky sh!"


    " Rising Spring Torrent!"


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian each picked an Obsidian Rhino and attacked at them. However, the other disciples didn''t stay idle either.


    Chen Yin and? Lin Xie lept and rushed to help Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin. Although they were weaker, they could at least give some support and lessen the burden of vanguards.


    Long Ming was also nning to help them. But his pupils shrunk, and his Heavenly Revtion Eyes noticed something.


    " I see¡­ So this is the root of the problem, huh?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Hehe, Elder''s warning really came in handy."


    " Thank goodness we sent the Eagle Mercenary first. If it was us, we would have died already."


    " Defeating two Obsidian Rhinos of Half step Harmonization Realm? They soon going to regret it."


    " Hehe, After both groups injured each other, we will go and reap the rewards."


    Disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple grinned as they watched the situation from afar.


    " Is that so?"


    With light whistling sounds, purple arrows pierced their tailbone, almost making them cripple instantly.


    .


    .


    .


    I remember people wereining about Mu Qinglian''s character. But why she is currently so popr tho? :sus:

 Chapter 144 Tit For Tat

    <h4>Chapter 144 Tit For Tat</h4>


    The Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples didn''t even notice before Long Ming''s arrows stuck their backs. The Hundred Flower Shot trulyplicated his Intent of Arrow and Illusory Lightning Bow.


    Long Ming felt something was amiss when he saw two Obsidian Rhinos charge toward the disciples of Four Seasons Valley. Using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he noticed the presence of the Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples.


    In the sudden attack, Long Ming used quite a lot of Fragrant Yin Qi and Intent of Arrow. So, even the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple who were at Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, they got injured seriously.


    Not to mention, Long Ming shot the arrow at such a spot that it made them unable to feel their lower body, making them incapable of escaping.


    " ARRRGHHH!"


    " I can''t feel my legs! I can''t feel my legs!"


    The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple screamed in agony and pain as they rolled on the ground. Long Ming walked to them with a cold expression.


    " Speak, What the hell are you trying to do? How did you lure those Obsidian Rhino to us?"


    " Gaaghhh! Wh-Who the fuck are you?"


    " Wrong answer."


    Long Ming smiled coldly as he stepped on the arrow which was still stuck on their tailbones. With his foot, he pressed the arrow further. The disciple who retorted felt his entire body breaking with an immense pain.


    " ARRRGGHHHHHH!"


    The painful how chilled the spines of others who were lying on the ground. Long Ming turned around and looked at them and smiled lightly.


    " So, Do I need to repeat my question?"


    " Pheromones!" A disciple hurriedly spoke. " We used¡­ Beast Attracting Pheromones on those mercenaries. While they¡­attacked you, the beasts followed them till there."


    " Hmph! It looks like Blissful Heaven Temple didn''t sit idly at all. They were making all these ns, huh?" Long Ming sneered.


    " Well, The team of Blissful Heaven Temple couldn''t be this small. Tell me, where is that bitch Li Qingxin and others went? What''s your ns next?"


    " I¡­ I don''t know."


    Long Ming shrugged as he walked forward. His legs almost pressed the rear of the arrow, making the disciple tremble in fear.


    " WA-WAIT! I know something! They said they are going to guard the ck Forest Pass! They¡­ I think they are going to gather some Ten Millenium Dark Yin Grass!"


    " Ten thousand year old Dark Yin Grass? Interesting, It seems like they know something, huh?" Long Ming rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression.


    " Alright, Thank you for your valuable information." Long Ming smiled as he looked at them. He turned around and scattered some power around.


    " Wh-What are you doing?"


    " Nothing, just sprinkling some Sleeping Power on you." Long Ming smiled. " Soon, the demonic beast wille here after smelling your blood. And at that moment, you guys would be sleeping like babies. So, I don''t think your death will be painful."


    " WHATT?!!"


    They cursed the nine generations of Long Ming, but that didn''t stop him from sprinkling the sleeping powder on them.


    " Bastard! You are a demon! A real demon!"


    " Do-Don''t! Don''t do that! I will do anything you say!"


    " LET ME GO! LET ME GO!!"


    " A demon, you say?" Long Ming chuckled. " Such a finepliment, I will take that."


    Long Ming finished his work and turned around to leave.


    Although he couldn''t kill people directly since it would trigger his Chaotic Murder Heart, he could kill people with a borrowed knife, right?


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    Mu Qinglian and? Ming Yuexin took the pair of Obsidian Rhinos head-on, while other disciples supported them.


    " Sky Shattering zing Palm!"


    Mu Qinglian''s aura erupted as a giant palm made of me appeared in the sky. Mu Qinglian''s power was like a berserk beast, her blood and vitality overwhelmed the nearby space.


    *BOOOM*


    The palm fell on the head of an Obsidian Rhino, almost caving its skull inside. Mu Qinglian vanished from her position and appeared right before the rhino. Raising her fist, it shed with a blood colored light.


    *CRAACCKKK*


    The Obsidian Rhino roared in pain as Mu Qinglian attacked its horn. Although the horn didn''t break, the pain almost made it faint. With another attack, Mu Qinglian crushed its skull with her fist.


    With a loud boom, the corpse of an Obsidian Rhino fell on the ground, making the earth tremor.


    *RAAARRRRR*


    Seein its partner''s fall, the second Obsidian Rhino''s eyes turned red. A blood colored glow appeared on its horn as it raised its forelegs and stomped on the ground.


    *RUMBLE RUMBLE*


    The ground quaked violently as fissures appeared, making the disciples unstable. With its how it almost made the weak disciples paralyzed in fear.


    " Damn it! The Obsidian Rhino has entered a berserk state! Everyone, stay away from it!" Ming Yuexin raised her sword and shouted.


    Her sword intent turned into a zing sword of fire as it rose to the sky. It multiplied and swirled around the Obsidian Rhino.


    " Burning Sword Formations!"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The Obsidian Rhino''s skin glowed with a pale ck light as it shielded against Ming Yuexin''s attack. Although it was injured, the beast didn''t stop and charged forward.


    " Damn it! Luo Yingying! Get out of there!"


    Luo Yingying was supporting the fight with her talismans. However, she never thought the rhino would charge her.


    But at that moment, an arrow came like a purple shooting star and pierced the eye of the Obsidian Rhino.


    The Rhino roared in pain and agony as it tumbled rolling on the ground madly. However, the arrow exploded inside its eyes, damaging its brain.


    Blood seeped from its head as it finally fell silent after violent twitching, turning into a cold corpse.


    " Whoa! What was that?"


    " Such excellent archery! Could it be¡­"


    Everyone turned around their head and saw Long Ming walking at them, holding his Illusiory Lightning Bow.


    " Senior Brother! You are back!"


    " Haha! We really defeated a pair of Half step Harmonization Realm demonic beasts."


    Long Ming nodded as he looked at them. " It was a trap set by Blissful Heaven Temple, to ambush us. However, we turned it into a better opportunity."


    " Dman it! It''s really them!"


    " That bunch of bastards and whores! How dare they attack us."


    Mu Qinglian''s expression turned cold when she heard that. " I see. So, they finally made their move huh?"


    " Hmph, Just wait If I see a Blissful Heaven disciple next time, I will kill them." Ming Yuexin snorted as she sheathed her sword.


    " Alright, Let''s talk about thatter. Currently, let''s clean the corpses and rest for a while." Long Ming looked at them with a grin.


    " The next ce, we are going to is the Dark Forest Pass."


    After two hours of resting, Long Ming and others walked to the Dark Forest Pass. It was actually a swamp area, with pitch ck trees covering it.


    It was very difficult to fly across the area due to the twisted branches of the trees, which was equally hard. So, one can only brave up and walk inside the swamp.


    As they reached the peripheral area, Long Ming raised his hand, signaling them to stop.


    " Wait a minute. Let me find something."


    Long Ming looked around and found a tree oozing out a ck colored resin. It gave off a fishy stench, almost the same as the swamp.


    " Find these ck Spirit Birch resins and wipe them all over your body."


    " Huh? But why?"


    " You will know soon." Long Ming smiled.


    Since it was Long Ming''s instruction, everyoneplied without any objection. The girls naturally like cleanliness, and the Dark Forest Pass is the total opposite of that.


    However, they can only endure the strength and filthy mud as they move forward in deep night.


    But then¡­


    " Di-Did you heard that?"


    " There is a buzzing noise."


    " What''s that?"


    As everyone became alert, Mu Qinglian''s eyes turned wide.


    " Damn it! It''s Crimson Blood Mosquito! There is a swarm of theming!"


    " What? Crimson Blood Mosquito?"


    " Hurry and run!"


    " Wait!"


    Long Ming''s voice echoed making everyone stunned. " No need to worry. Those mosquitoes won''t harm us."


    The Crimson Blood Mosquito are simply blood colored mosquitoes with size of an adult''s palm. One can easily crush a single mosquito. But a swarm of them? Even Harmonization Realm cultivators would flee if they see arge swarm.


    With their divine sense, they could see a cloud of mosquitoes charging through the twisted trees. As they arrived before the group of Four Seasons Valley, everyone''s heart thumped with fear.


    However, to their shock, the cloud of mosquitoes flew right above them, without noticing them at all.


    " This¡­ What happened?"


    " They ignored us?"


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Thanks to the resin of Dark Spirit Birch, we added a strong bug repellent aura to our bodies. So, the mosquitos ignored us."


    Long Ming almost studied everything in the Medicinal Pavilion and the personal collections of Elder Liang.


    Not to mention, he also received a boost of knowledge from the previous systems. So, he knew about the hidden effect of the resin of Dark Spirit Birch.


    As they crossed the swamp, they met various swamp beasts and exotic herbs. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes covered the entire area, making no treasure remaining hidden under his eyes.


    Suddenly, he stopped as a grin appeared on his face.


    He could see a group lurking before a giant cave as if they were getting prepared for the thing inside.


    " Blissful Heaven Temple and¡­ The people from Imperial Family?" Long Ming''s eyes shed with a cold light when he saw that.


    " It looked like Blissful Heaven Temple and Imperial Family are colluding." Long Ming informed. " I guess they must be there for the Ten Thousand Year old Dark Yin Grass."


    " However, such a precious herb, I think there must be some powerful demonic beasts nearby, making them apprehensive."


    " Is that so?" Mu Qinglian frowned. Although they expected that to happen, she still felt uneasy to know that two powerful factions were working together, and both were hostile toward Four Seasons Valley.


    " Hmm, But don''t worry. I have a n."


    Long Ming pondered for a moment, as a strange smile appeared on his lips.


    " Senior Sister Mu, you need to do something." Long Ming looked at him with a smile.


    " Hmm?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Everyone, Gather in formation. Don''t forget, there is Twin Headed Dark Serpent inside."


    " Alright, Weapons and talismans are ready."


    Soon, a gigantic python with two heads appeared outside the cave. It acted like it didn''t see the intruders, and it was simply strolling outside its cave.


    " Hehe, The concealment formation is working. Just wait till our poison works."


    However, at that moment, purple arrows streaked across the sky like blooming flowers, raining down on their formation with tremendous force.


    " Wh-What?!"


    " What the hell happened!"


    " Ambush!"


    The Twin Headed Dark Serpent, who didn''t notice the intruders, sensed the abnormality and hissed with anger.


    Soon, burst of mes and poisonous mist showered on the Blissful Heaven Temple and Imperial Famil memebers.

 Chapter 145 Demonic Fisherman

    <h4>Chapter 145 Demonic Fisherman</h4>


    The Two Headed Dark Serpent was a Low stage Harmonization Realm Demonic Beast. Not to mention, it was a demon beast that was very hard to deal with without a powerful cultivator.


    The preparation made by Blissful Heaven Temple and Imperial Family turn against themselves when Long Ming used his archery skill to break their concealment formation.


    With the sudden change in n, almost all of them stood like dumb chickens.


    The Twin Headed Dark Serpent''s poisonous mistnded on them along with the breath of me. The entire area ignited with venomous fumes and mes, making the group retreat.


    " Damn it! Everyone, Eat Hundred Detoxification Pills!"


    " Don''t scatter! Stay in formation! Act ording to the n!"


    Cheng Lan was the son of the Minister of Wealth, who was leading the group. But currently, his face was uglier than a squashed eggnt.


    He never thought someone would interfere with their n like that. However, now isn''t the time to think about that.


    " Vanguard team! Focus on the head that breathes venom! We need to kill that first!"


    " Yes, Brother Cheng!"


    *BOOM BOOOM*


    The vanguard consisted of two Peak stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm and two Half step Half step Harmonization Realm cultivators. However, all of them wore Earth grade armor and wielded Noble grade weapons to shorten the gap of strength between them and the demonic beast.


    '' Heh, It looks like they came here with preparation, huh? That must have cost a hefty sum of money.'' Long Mingughed inwardly.


    However, the Twin Headed Dark Serpent was no pushover. Since it already reached the Harmonization Realm, its power took an exponential leap, making it difficult for human cultivators of the same realm to fight against it.


    One of its head opened its mouth and a ssh of green liquid covered the entire area.


    " Hurry and dodge!"


    Cheng Lan already studied the behavior of Twin Headed Dark Serpent. So, he was terrified when it saw that ssh of green liquid.


    A majority of people knew that it was up to no good and dodged. However, the cultivators who couldn''t dodge got scalded by the corrosive green liquid.


    " AHHHHH!"


    " MY BODY! MY BODY!"


    The venom and corrosion were too strong. Even Xuan grade armor was damaged by the corrosion.


    " It already used an attack! Hurry up and slice off that head!" Chenng Lan roared.


    " Golden Cleaving sh!"


    " Lightning Rumble Fist!"


    *BOOM BOOM*


    As the battle continued, Long Ming used his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique and concealed his energy and vitality, clearly moving towards the den of the serpent.


    '' Well, I am a true follower of, [When snipe and m fights, the fisherman who reaps the reward].''


    With his Rushing Lightning Steps, he reached the entrance of the den. Thanks to his concealment, no one sensed him with their divine sense.


    Long Ming walked inside the cave with slow and cautious steps, as he didn''t know if there would be any hidden dangers inside it. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he saw the cave was indeed filled with various mines and ores. Each of them could be used for forging powerful treasures.


    '' Too bad, Mining them would be too tedious now. I should focus on the treasures which I can take away quickly.''


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes shone brightly as he noticed the nest of the Twin Headed Dark Serpent.


    It was divided into two parts. One, he could see the eggs along with some ck colored grasses with faint red spots on them. The other part of the cave was filled with various treasures, probably the things serpent looted from the dead cultivators.


    " My¡­There are three eggs. No wonder the serpent is protecting the cave with such aggression." Long Ming chuckled. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he saw two eggs with robust vitality and one egg with a weak pulse sign.


    " And here¡­There are five stalks of Ten Thousand Year old Dark Yin Grass! Damn it, This is a profit!" Long Mingughed out loud.


    And Ten Thousand Year old herb can make a Nine Transformations of Soul Realm cultivator go crazy, not to mention the low level cultivators. With all these resources, Noble grade medicinal pills will be easy.


    '' Maybe it wanted to nourish the hatchling with the energy of these herbs? Anyway, Who cares? Everything here is now mine!''


    Long Ming looked at the pile of treasure and found more than twenty million High grade spirit stones worth of wealth, along with several Earth grade weapons and two Innate type Noble grade weapons.


    " Alright, This is some serious profit. If we add the Ten Thousand Year old Dark Yin Herb and the eggs of Twin Headed Dark Serpent, the value will surpass a hundred million High grade spirit stones."


    Long Ming realized he had taken everything valuable inside the cave. So, he decided to leave early as he didn''t want any unnecessary development.


    '' How can I agitate that demonic beast more?'' Long Ming pondered as his eyes shone with a cunning ray.


    " AHA!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    *BOOOM BOOM!"


    The battle outside almost reached the climax. Cheng Lan saw that the Twin Headed Dark Serpent became somewhat slower.


    " Get down! I will use a powerful treasure!" Cheng Lan jumped as a golden talisman shed in his hand.


    Suddenly, golden ropes shot out and chained the serpent, blocking its movement. It buzzed with crackling purple lightning, making the serpent hiss in pain.


    " The serpent is currently sealed! Hurry up and finish it!"


    " Charge! Charge forward!"


    As the vanguards and others rushed forward to deliver a blow to the Twin Headed Dark Serpent, they suddenly saw an orb falling from the sky.


    Suddenly, it burst as a ssh of weird liquid covered them.


    " Wh-What the fuck with this fishy smell?"


    " This smells like¡­ an egg?"


    " Egg?"


    Cheng Lan suddenly has a bad premonition when he heard that.


    *SSSSKIIIISSS!"


    The Twin Headed Dark Serpent hissed with anger as the eyes of both heads turned red. Small horns appeared in their nose as a terrifying aura erupted from its body.


    " Fuck! The Twin Headed Dark Serpent is burning its vital blood! It has entered the berserk mode!"


    " My Lightning Sealing Talisman should have stopped it! Fuck, Why it became so agitated?"


    Cheng Lan felt he was about to get mad. That unknown person messed with their ns twice. And what? They couldn''t find that person at all!"


    " Fuck! Use all the means! Go all out!"


    " Blood Crystal Arrow!"


    " Star Binding Talisman!"


    The Blissful Heaven Temple and Imperial Family members realized that if they don''t use their life saving treasures, they are going to die. Various treasures shone in the dark night and fell on the Twin Headed Dark Serpent.


    The serpent finally fell to the ground, with its eyes filled with unwillingness and hatred.


    " Haah! This bastard!" Cheng Lan cursed as he stabbed its head rapidly. " Fucking die already!"


    " Tou two! Hurry up and get the herbs!"


    " Young Master! This is bad!"


    " Someone stole the herbs and eggs of demonic beasts!"


    " WHAT?!"


    Cheng Lan felt his eyes almost pop out when he heard that. " WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY!?"


    " THE EGGS AND HERBS GOT STOLEN!"


    " FUCKK!"


    Cheng Lan''s veins popped out. " Find! Find that bastard at any cost! He must be hiding nearby!"


    " Huh?"


    A person turned around as he heard some buzzing sound. His eyes turned wide as he rushed at Cheng Lan.


    " Not good! It''s Crimson Blood Mosquitoes! A big swarming at us!"


    " Swarm of Crimson Blood Mosquitoes?!"


    " Hurry and retreat-"


    *SWIISHHH*


    A purple twinkle appeared in the forest as a bolt of arrow shot at Cheng Lan. Cheng Lan didn''t anticipate that the culprit was still lurking nearby.


    *BAAAM*


    A bright glow erupted from Cheng Lan''s body, blocking the arrow from piercing his heart. However, the impact made him tumble backward.


    " Fuck! Thank heavens I had my Jade Light Shield Talisman" Cheng Lan''s heart thumped. But that moment of dy was enough to distract everyone as several more shots of arrow rained, piercing the knees and legs of Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples.


    " ARRGH!"


    " MY LEGS!"


    Cheng Lan clenched his fist tightly as he looked at the spot where the arrows got fired. As he was preparing to charge there, the buzzing noise intensified as a swarm of big mosquitoes appeared around them.


    " Fuck! Abandon the corpse of the serpent and run!"


    " Run! Run else you will die!"


    Unfortunately, the mosquitoes already have the scent of their bodies, there is no way the swarm will let them go anytime soon.


    As for the corpse, the Crimson Blood Mosquitoes didn''t touch that and rushed straight to the group of Blissful Heaven Temple and Imperial Family.


    As they left, some girls appeared and circled around the Twin Headed Dark Serpent eagerly.


    " Hehe! Senior Brother Long is truly a Jade Faced Demon, huh?"


    " To think he devised such a cunning n in such a short period of time."


    " Hurry up and take the corpse!"


    Ming Yuexin sighed as he saw Mu Qinglian and Long Ming chase the escaping disciples.


    " Thank goodness we are on the same team."

 Chapter 146 Mystery of Core Zone

    <h4>Chapter 146 Mystery of Core Zone</h4>


    " Damn it! To think they had Minor Teleportation Talisman!"


    Mu Qinglian cursed when she saw Cheng Lan and other Imperial Family members vanishing from their positions. Other than two of Blissful Heaven Temple disciples, everyone else fell to the prey of Crimson Blood Mosquitoes.


    " zing me of Rage!"


    " Desire ying Sword Art!"


    The remaining disciples struggled with all their might. However, the Crimson Blood Mosquitoes didn''t got affected at all, easily avoiding the attacks. Besides, even if some of them died, the others filled the gaps.


    "ARRGHHH!"


    " Save me!!"


    The Crimson Blood Mosquitoes quickly sucked the blood dry from the disciples. Soon, the healthy disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple turned into shriveled mummies, devoid of life and blood.


    After finishing their meal, the Crimson Blood Mosquitoes gathered and flew away. Mu Qinglian and Long Ming emerged from the shadows and looked at the corpses.


    Long Ming bent down and took the spatial rings from the dead bodies. Feeling Mu Qinglian''s stare, Long Ming shrugged.


    " What? Don''t tell me you want to leave these valuable things for demonic beasts?"


    " No, It''s not that." Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming. " I was just thinking¡­ You are really too dangerous."


    " Well, I can''t hide as well as Saintess Mu." Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian and chuckled. " I mean, Unless something strange happens, you are one of the strongest cultivators here, if not the strongest."


    Mu Qinglian blushed when Long Ming pointed at her hidden cultivation and Imperial Physique. " I didn''t want to hide it. It''s just Master said to not reveal too much of my talent, else it will attract some evil attentions."


    " Anyway, What are we going to do? The Imperial Family disciples sure prepared themselves well." Mu Qinglian looked at the direction they escaped.


    " Leave them. Their resources must be already depleted. Unless they get s ome rare treasures or something like that, their expedition of Azure Sun Secret Realm is already turned into a loss."


    " Besides, I have a different nt now." Long Ming pondered. Then he took out themunication talisman and talked with Ming Yuexin.


    " Sister Ming, Is everything done there?"


    " Yes, Senior Brother. We already cleaned everything here."


    " Then, Take the roundabout way and go to the east direction. Till tomorrow''s noon, Grind the area of Flower Valley. I am sure there are various medicinal herbs we can harvest."


    " What about you, Brother Long?"


    " Me and Sister Mu will go forward. After Flower Valley,e directly to the Main Sect ruins of the Core Zone."


    Mu Qinglian was startled when she heard Long Ming''s decision. " We are going separately from them? What if someone ambushes our team?"


    " I am sure Ming Yuexin would handle them. Don''t underestimate her Sword Intent." Long Ming smiled lightly.


    " Besides, I am sure all the top powers would have reached the Core Zone by now. After all, the treasures of the Core Zone are greater than the Inner Zone."


    " So, Where are we going?"


    " A secret ce."


    Long Ming smiled mysteriously. Thanks to the memories of the Senior Bu''s token, Long Ming found a hidden passage located in the Inner Zone that connects with the Core Zone. It''s the fastest way one can travel to Core Zone.


    However, when Mu Qinglian and Long Ming arrived at the ruined pce in the Inner Zone, They were startled.


    They saw a group of cultivators there. And Long Ming frowned as he recognized one of them.


    " The Third Prince''s group?"


    Mu Qinglian and Long Ming''s arrival didn''t go unnoticed.


    " Halt! Who are you?"


    " This ce is already sealed. Go back."


    " Really?" Long Ming snorted. " Do you think you own this secret realm? You think just because you said, this ce would be yours?"


    " Yo-You!!"


    " It''s alright."


    Third Prince Qin Zhong walked out from the ruin and looked at Mu Qinglian. " Well, Who would have thought I would meet Saintess Mu here? Such a fate."


    " Indeed, How unfortunate." Long Ming nodded. Qin Zhong''s eyes narrowed when he heard Long Ming''s taunt.


    " I heard a male disciple became the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley. I guess it''s true after all."


    " Well, Greetings, Third Prince Qin Zhong. I am Long Ming, True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley and the junior disciple of Sister Mu."


    " Well, Since we met here, why not join forces to explore the secret realm?" Qin Zhong looked at Mu Qinglian with a light smile.


    " I appreciate your kindness, Third Prince. However, I guess I would like to explore with my junior brother." Mu Qinglian rejected politely.


    " Is that so?" Qin Zhong rubbed his chin. " I mean, We are soon going to the Core Zone. Strange enough, the strength of demonic beasts is much stronger thanst time. Saintess Mu, I think it will be better if we join forces."


    " Well, If we meet any strong demonic beasts, we will avoid them." Long Ming chuckled. " Right, Sister Mu?"


    " Indeed."


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming and nodded. " Then, we won''t disturb Third Prince Qin any longer."


    Both of them turned around and left. Qin Zhong''s eyes narrowed for a moment. " Old Grass, What''s the cultivation realm of that Long Ming?"


    " I couldn''t see through it."


    " Really? Such a rare concealment treasure¡­" Qin Zhong mumbled.


    " I hope it''s really a concealment treasure. Otherwise, it will be too terrifying." An old man standing behind Qin Zhong replied.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming felt frustrated when the secret ce was captured by Qin Zhong.


    It wasn''t because of the hidden passage, but there was a Ten Thousand Year old Tree Yao learning inside the ruin, whose power isparable to the peak of Early stage Harmonization Realm.


    The core of that Tree Yao could fetch an astronomical price and a great boost for cultivation.


    " That old man behind Qin Zhong, I think he is a Mid stage Harmonization Realm cultivator." Long Ming spoke.


    " However, What Qin Zhong said is true." Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming. " The previous time Azure Sun Sacred Realm opened, the demonic beasts of Half step Harmonization Realm were lurking in the Core Zone."


    " But look at the current situation. The demonic beasts of Low stage Harmonization Realm are already in Inner Zone. Beside, I think the restriction ced by Empress Crimson Sky is getting weak, making the demonic beasts cultivate to higher realms."


    " If that''s the case, the Core Zone would be much more dangerous than before." Long Ming mumbled. He remembered the scene where the strange pitch-ck monster fighting against the ancient cultivators of Four Seasons Valley. The monster didn''t die but was sealed away by the cultivators of Four Seasons Valley a thousand years ago.


    '' Could it be¡­ That''s the cause? What if that thing is the culprit behind it?'' Long Ming shuddered when he thought about the possibility.


    Long Ming didn''t wish to venture into the Core Zone at all. So, he decided to grind in the Inner Zone.


    [ Ding! A new quest appeared! A genius would never back down when it gets the scent of mysteries. Remember, the fortune favors the bold!]


    [ Discover the secret of Azure Sun Secret Realm]


    [ Reward: A Divine Grade Treasure Chest!]


    [ Failure: Death(maybe?)]


    Long Ming was dumbfounded when saw the new mission. And what the hell with the penalty?


    " What do you mean by maybe death? You mean there are chances of my death in this quest?"


    [ Constetion Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is shrugging! He is saying that he is indeed interested in the secret of Azure Sun Realm]


    [ Constetion Thousand Venomous Tongue is urging you to court death]


    [ Constetion Treasure Hoarding Thief is wondering about treasures of the Core Zone]


    [ Constetion Harem King of Nine World is whispering you to make a move on Mu Qinglian]


    " Alright, I get it."


    Long Ming sighed when he saw that. A Divine grade chest is indeed very precious. After all, it''s the highest grade reward he can get from Infinite Star Roulette.


    " Sister Mu, What do you think? Let them stay in the Inner Zone for the time being. What about both of us go to the Core Zone and check the situation first before calling them in?"


    " Sounds good." Mu Qinglian nodded.


    Since the hidden passage was out of option, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian took a different route.


    As they were about the reach the boundary of Core Zone, they heard the sounds of fighting.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked in that direction.


    " Huh? It''s him!"


    Mu Qinglian saw Long Ming''s reaction and followed him to the fighting ce.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    Liu Jiang and his team were fighting against a gigantic elephant, which was covered with golden shards of rocks.


    " An Earthshard Elephant? That''s a tough nut to crack." Mu QInglianmented.


    " Purple Crystal Shattering Fist!"


    Liu Jiang jumped as he activated his Purple Crystal Mountain Physique.


    '' After my help, Ren Qian probably trained him, making him so powerful in such a short period of time.'' Long Ming thought in his heart.


    With a fist covered with revolving purple shards, Liu Jiang punched a weak spot on the Earthshard Elephant''s body. The Earthshard Elephant roared and stomped on the ground.


    Countless spikes erupted from the ground as the earth rumbled. However, the team of Liu Jiang worked wlessly, attacking the elephant from everywhere.


    " Water Dragon Prison!"


    Five cultivators around Liu Jiang took out a blue colored talisman and ignited it. Five dragons rose and charged at the demon elephant. As the elephant became busy with it, Liu Jiang jumped and used his sword.


    " Purple Mountain Shatter!"


    *BOOOOM*


    The elephant gave a deafening roar before falling to the ground. As Liu Jiang stepped on the corpse with joy, a ck dart of light shed, charging towards him.


    " Oh no! It''s Tri Flower Serpent!"


    " Young Master Liu! Hurry and dodge!"


    Liu Jiang was dumbfounded when he saw the attacking serpent. He realized he wouldn''t be able to dodge that attack.


    But then¡­


    *BOOOOM*


    An arrow crushed the head of the serpent, flinging it far.


    " Haha, We met again, Brother Liu."

 Chapter 147 Qin Chen’s Treasure Scroll

    <h4>Chapter 147 Qin Chen''s Treasure Scroll</h4>


    Liu Jiang could feel the lingering fear when he looked at the Three Flower Serpent''s body near him.


    " Haaah,? To think this bastard was lurking while we were fighting the Earthshard Elephant." Liu Jiang sat on the ground as he sighed.


    " Brother Long, Thank you for your timely help. If I had been poisoned by that serpent, it would been disastrous."


    Long Ming and Mu Qinglian walked out from the shadows as they looked at Liu Jiang.


    " It''s alright, Brother Lu. After all, I promised Elder Ren to apany you during the expedition." Long Ming nodded.


    Looking at the corpse of the Earthshard Elephant, Long Ming looked at Liu Jiang with understanding. " I see. This Earthshard Elephant is rich with dense Earth Qi, which is beneficial for your qi cultivation and? Purple Crystal Physique."


    " Hehe, Indeed. After refining some Body Remolding Pills, I can improve my physique to the peak of Minor Completion Realm and try to ovee the Physique Tribtion." Liu Jiang chuckled.


    " However, I never expected to meet a Low stage Harmonization Realm Demonic Beast here. Almost half of my preparations are wasted on this." Liu Jiang sighed. " But then, It''s nice to hunt a Low stage Harmonization Realm demonic beast on my own, yes?"


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. Indeed, for those who got a powerful background, the chances of defeating a higher level opponent is better than any ordinary cultivators.


    After all, powerful talismans, formations, weapons, skills and medicinal pills, even one of them can shorten the gaps between two cultivators with uneven power.


    The five talismans the subordinates of Liu Jiang used are all top Earth grade Talismans, each costing more than five million High grade Spirit Stones.


    However, with five of them, It created a Five Water Dragon Seal, that negates the Earth elemental power of the Earthshard Elephant. If Liu Jiang wasn''t from the Liu Family of Southern Green Mountain, he and hisrades would have died on the spot withoutplete corpses.


    " This year, the Azure Sun Secret Realm has be much harder. However, the resources are also abundant." Mu Qinglianmented.


    " Indeed, Saintess Mu is correct."


    Long Ming looked at Liu Jiang. " Brother Liu, Where are you going from now?"


    " I am thinking of going to the Herbal Sanctuary. Who knows? I might find some rare medicinal herbs?" Liu Jiang nodded.


    " Very well, Shall we go together? It''s almost dawn." Long Ming spoke.


    " Since Brother Long is insists, Then I won''t reject it." Liu Jiang nodded. Long Ming walked and picked the demonic serpent, removing its poison nds.


    " With this, It will work well with my arrows." Long Ming grinned as he put it away.


    The Herbal Sanctuary was a ce in Core Zone, where the elders of Four Seasons Valley stored precious medicinal herbs.


    " It''s always been a ce of attraction. Because many of the medicinal herbs were secured with powerful formations. Some are even hard for a Formation Grandmaster to break them."


    " So, there should be still various ancient medicinal herbs hidden from public eyes." Liu Jiang exined.


    " Aiiz, Now I thought, I should have brought Luo Yingying with us. She could have helped us to solve the formations." Mu Qinglian sighed.


    " Well, I can also try if you don''t mind." Long Ming chuckled. " But I can''t say for sure."


    " Huh? Brother Long, You also know about formation arts?"


    " Well, You can say I dabble a bit in it." Long Ming smiled. " I guess we should hasten a bit, no?"


    Long Ming arched his back as lightning crackled around his legs. With a sh, he disappeared from his spot.


    " Hey! Don''t rush away like that!"


    Mu Qinglian rose as the wind blew around her. Taking a step, she faded into the wind itself.


    " Autumn Wind Flutter!"


    Mu Qinglian''s movements were like a leaf fluttering down from a tree. Yet, her speed was equal to Long Ming''s Rushing Lightning Steps. Liu Jiang was stunned when he saw both of them disappear like that.


    " Hey! Wait for me!"


    It took them three hours before they reached the Herbal Sanctuary. And as they expected, it was overcrowded.


    A giant green mountain filled with green vegetation stood before them. Long Ming could see the flickering runic chains in the sky above the mountain.


    " That''s¡­ Azure Wood Spirit Gathering Formation." Long Ming looked at the mountain and recognized it instantly.


    " What''s that?" Mu Qinglian was surprised.


    " Such a formation gathers the qi of heaven and earth and draws the energy from the Spirit Veins inside the ground, converting into Wood qi to nourish the herbs. It can reduce the growing time of herbs exponentially."


    Long Ming looked at everyone and exined. " Such a powerful formation of this scale can be only deployed by a Formation Emperor or joint effort of several Formation Kings."


    " However, Amidst this, there is also a Golden Orb Great Guardian Formation." Long Ming rubbed his palm.


    " This formation is both an attacking and defensive formation, It''s like multiple small circles inside arge circle. Each small circle protects a batch of herbs."


    " It''s better to crack the small circles to get the herbs. If we attack the main circle, all the herbs might get destroyed." Long Ming rubbed his chin. " How thoughtful. It''s made precisely for guarding precious herbs."


    " Get away! This Crimson Sunflower is something I found first!"


    " Damn it! This stalk of Spirit Grass is mine!"


    Everyone in the Herbal Sanctuary was looking for herbs frantically. Such a ce. The entire mountain was crowded with cultivators from various powers.


    Battles and skirmishes were prettymon. Not only did they need to fight demonic beasts who were guarding the herbs, but they also needed to fight against the cultivators who were eyeing the medicinal herbs.


    *BOOM BOOOM*


    " Arrrgh!"


    " What the hell! Why there is a Purple Steel Condor here?!"


    Long Ming and others were shocked when they saw a purple shadow streaking across the sky.


    " Fuck! Isn''t that a Mid-stage Harmonization Realm Demonic Beast?" Liu Jiang cursed. " How the hell that thing is alive? Should it not be killed by the Imperial Laws?"


    " Sister Mu, Let''s not be involved with that." Long Ming''s eyes narrowed. "? There are some people behind this. We should stay in sidelines and focus on our own objective."


    *XIU XIU XIU XIU*


    The Purple Steel Condor screeched and pped its wings violently. It''s feathers shot out like purple darts of bullets, covering arge area. More than a dozen cultivators got skewed instantly by those feathers.


    " Filthy beast! Where do you think you are running!"


    Dozens of ming ropes shot into the sky, trying to wrap around the Purple Steel Condor. The talons on the condor red up as it tried to resist those ming ropes.


    " Hmph! Don''t think you can escape!"


    Long Ming saw a group of people trying the catch the Purple Steel Condor. It was the team of Fourth Prince, Qin Chen.


    Qin Chen rushed forward as his imperial robe fluttered with the wind. The Purple Steel Condor gazed at him with a hateful gaze.


    *KREWWWW*


    It just made a shing motion with its gleaming ws and sharp arcs of wind shot at Qin Chen. The arcs moved towards Qin Chen with an extraordinary speed.


    Qin Chenughed coldly as a blue colored barrier appeared around him. It was like like blue colored scales of a beast, with golden mes flickering amidst the gaps of the scales.


    " Great Qilin Armor!"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming was amazed at how the shield blocked the attack of the condor. But thanks not all.


    The subordinates of Qin Chen already tied the condor with ming ropes. Then, Qin Chen unfurled a scroll, making it sh with a multicolored light.


    Suddenly, the ink streaked across the sky as a giant figure holding a halberd appeared in the air. Just by looking at it, One could feel a tremendous aura of a powerful cultivator.


    The halberd moved swiftly, drawing an arc. It is chopped down with powerful momentum as if a single sh can behead a hundred cultivators.


    The sky was covered with strokes of ink as the figure moved its halberd, slicing off the wings of the Purple Steel Condor.


    It was only a few breaths of time as Qin Chen hurriedly folded the scroll. With Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming could see the aura of the scroll became much weaker.


    '' Is that a treasure left behind by an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator?'' Long Ming was shocked.


    With a screech, the Purple Steel Condor fell to the ground as its blood sshed out.


    Long Ming smacked his lips when he saw Qin Chen using such powerful treasure. It looks like the Imperial Family has an abundance of treasures.


    " Huh? Look at this."


    Long Ming turned around and focused at a patch of bush with curiosity. Stretching his palm, he patted on it, making a golden light barrier appear around it.


    " Huh? I thought those were just some ordinary grass. Where there is a formation shield around it?" Mu Qinglian was surprised.


    " Because there is a precious medicinal herb hidden here among the pile of these grasses." Long Ming smiled.


    " A Twenty Thousand Year old Pale Silkworm Flower." Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush and started to crack down the formation orb.


    With his highprehension of rune formations and Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he quickly noticed the weak spots and started to expand them.


    Soon, cracks appeared on the orb of light as Long Ming put his hands inside it. Swiftly, he plucked a beautiful flower and sealed it inside a jade box.


    " Haha, This is an unexpected treasure!" Long Mingughed out loud.


    " Hey, You guys! What are you doing in the area of Fourth Prince?"A voice shouted, vanishing the happy mood of Long Ming.


    " Leave the treasure behind and fuck off!"


    Now, Long Ming''s mood turned into shit.


    " Can''t we just have a good time in a secret realm?"

 Chapter 148 Increased Annoyance

    <h4>Chapter 148 Increased Annoyance </h4>


    " Hmph, Since when this entire are became Fourth Prince''s?" Liu Jiang was also dissatisfied when he heard that person.


    " Yo-You!"


    The person was startled when he saw Liu Jiang''s attitude. The name of Fourth Prince Qin Chen was enough to scare away people. However, the group before him didn''t budge at all.


    " Hmph! I am Liu Jiang, a Young Master of the Southern Green Liu Family. And this is the Saintess of Four Seasons Valley Mu Qinglian and True Disciple Long Ming."


    " Ah¡­"


    The person felt his expression turn stiff when he heard the identities. However, he couldn''t help but look at Mu Qinglian a few times, salivating at her beauty like a dog.


    " Hmph! You guys better watch out. If you dare toe in Fourth Prince''s way¡­Hehe."


    The man turned around and left hastily. He acted brave, but Long Ming could see that that person didn''t dare to confront them. However, His look toward Mu Qinglian and Long Ming wasn''t that good in particr.


    '' Damn, Are these bastards looking down on the Four Seasons Valley this much?'' Long Ming snorted.


    But, Long Ming had to remember such a reaction. For the past thousand years, Four Seasons Valley has been lying dormant and weak. Even some newborn sects like Green Cloud Sect, Blissful Heaven Temple and Zhongye Sect are bullying an ancient Imperial Sect like Four Seasons Valley.


    A skinny camel is stillrger than a horse. Even in its weak state, Four Season Valley is still a power that can strike fear.


    Not to mention, with the recent supply of resources and Imperial Weapons, even Long Ming doubts the true capabilities of Four Seasons Valley.


    However, The power of Four Seasons Valley won''t stop them from harming the disciples inside a secret realm. After all, anything can happen in a secret realm.


    " Sister Mu, Brother Liu, Let''s move forward. There should be more precious herbs in the deep mountain." Long Ming rubbed his chin.


    With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes as a cheat, Long Ming could easily find medicinal herbs hidden by the most formidable formations with ease.


    However, the problem still came to him in the end.


    " Hoho, I was wondering when my servant said Miss Mu is here. So, we meet again."


    Long Ming''s brows twitched when he saw Qin Chen and his men standing before them. Qin Chen''s eyes were on Mu Qinglian as he gave a faint smile.


    " Greetings, Fourth Prince Qin Chen." Mu QInglian was expressionless when she greeted Qin Chen. Long Ming could even feel resentment in her eyes.


    " Well, I have been long wished to go to the Four Seasons Valley to meet you afterst time. Unfortunately, There are too many things in Holy Qilin City to manage."


    " I guess Prince Qin Chen must be busy with Sky Martial Tower''s business." Mu Qinglian spoke in a candid voice.


    " Haha, Sister Mu knows how to joke." Qin Chenughed lightly.


    " Sister Mu, We shouldn''t waste our time like that. Shouldn''t we go and gather some Ten Millenium Medicinal Herbs?"


    " What? Ten Millenium medicinal herbs?"


    " Haha, Who does he think he is? Are ten millennium medicinal herbs carrots and cabbages?"


    " Not to mention, the formation around the precious herbs must be crazy strong. There must be Harmonization Realm Demonic beasts lurking around those areas."


    Theere was already some crowd watching interaction between both groups. They couldn''t help but excite at the potential conflict here.


    Qin Chen''s eyes narrowed when Long Ming interrupted him. " Heh, So you are the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, huh? I am very curious. Why Four Seasons Valley ept a male as True Disciple?"


    " Because I am simply talented and handsome enough." Long Ming looked at Qin Chen and chuckled. " If Your Highness Fourth Prince had those qualities, maybe you could have also be one."


    " What? Did he just cursed the Fourth Prince?"


    " Damn it! That young man got some guts."


    " Haha, Little brother, You got a pretty sharp tongue." Qin Chen was still smiling, yet his eyes aleady turned cold.


    " You should be wary of using your sharp tongue in wrong ce. Otherwise¡­"


    Long Ming didn''t wish any conflict with a prince of the Holy Qilin Empire. So, he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Sister Mu, Let''s go."


    " Wait, Miss Mu. How about youe with us?" Qin Chen looked at Mu Qinglian. " I have brought an Alchemy Grandmaster Hu and a Formation Grandmaster."


    " With me, we could find various medicinal herbs and dislocate the formations protecting them with ease."


    " I will pass this opportunity, Fourth Prince." Mu Qinglian shook her head.


    " Is that so?" Qin Chen gazed at Long Ming for a brief moment. " How about this? Although I heard about some rumors, I never saw the strength of the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    Long Ming rubbed his forehead as if he could see the iing plot. This Qin Chen is really a wolf in sheep''s clothing. He was eyeing Mu Qinglian from the moment he appeared.


    " But, it won''t be fun if there is no bets, right?" Qin Chen grinned. " How about-"


    " No, I don''t have any wish to spar." Long Ming raised his palm and shook his head. " Currently, we are in the middle of our exploration in Azure Sun Secret Realm. So, I don''t have any time to entertain you."


    Everyone including Qin Chen became dumbfounded when Long Ming refused him with such a straight face.


    '' Wait, this isn''t ording to the script. Shouldn''t he epted the challenge of duel?''


    Everyone thought that inwardly. But Long Ming already turned around. " Sister Mu, Are youing or not?"


    " Sure."


    Liu Jiang and Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming and nodded, following him to another ce.


    " Fuck, What a slippery loach." Qin Chen''s smile vanished when he saw the departing figure of Long Ming and Mu Qinglian.


    " Those bastards, there are still no news of them?" Qin Chen turned around and asked a middle aged man beside him.


    " Only a few managed toe back alive. Not to mention, they didn''t get the Dark Yin Grass. Some unknown party messed with the situation and trapped them to death."


    " Besides¡­" The middle aged man''s eyes narrowed. " The squad who went to capture the Four Seasons Valley disciples also got killed."


    " Haaaahhh." Qin Chen rubbed his forehead. " Really? You fuckers, do you want me to do everything?"


    " Master Hu, Did you prepare the poison I asked you to make?"


    " It''s prepared, Your Highness Fourth Prince." Alchemy Grandmaster Hu replied.


    " Heh, Now all we need is to create a conflict with them." QIn Chen smiled deviously.


    " Cheng Guozi, Get your men and follow them. You know what to do, right?"


    " Yes, Young Master."


    Qin Chen looked and saw his servants dismantling the Purple Steel Condor''s body as he gazed at it silently.


    '' This time, the Central Pce would open. I must seize the opportunity and get all the treasures here. Only after that, I will be able to crush all my dear brothers and sisters.''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " That Qin Chen isn''t a good guy at all." Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian and spoke in a faint voice.


    " I know. A year ago, he came to the Four Seasons Valley for a marriage proposal." Mu Qinglian answered lightly.


    " He did?!"


    Long Ming was shocked. " That bastard. He must be eyeing on the entire Four Seasons Valley."


    " Haha, Why? Are you jealous?" Mu Qinglian smiled mischievously.


    *ROOAARRRRR*


    " Brother Long, Look at that!" Liu Jiang shouted, making Long Ming arch his brows.


    He saw a towering ck furred ape standing on a peak, with two horns on its head shining with yellow glint. The tail of the ape swung like hammer, leaving scars on the mountain stones.


    "? Yellow Horned Dark Ape! it''s a Mid stage Harmonization Realm Demonic beast."


    " Why that thing is here? Shouldn''t it be beyond the forbidden zone?"


    " Hurry up and run! If it catches us, it will be over!"


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he saw something hidden by the gigantic body of the ape.


    " That''s¡­ Bloodcloud Hibiscus? A ten petal Blooscloud Hibiscus?!" Long Ming uttered in shock.


    " So, he was protecting that thing." Long Ming rubbed his palms in excitement as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " Sister Mu, Let''s go and fight against that demonic beast."


    " Huh? Are you sure? Mu Qinglian frowned slightly. " I can only face it if I reveal my true strength. Are you sure you want me to reveal it now?"


    " No, Even without revealing your true strength, we can hunt it." Long Ming grinned as he took out several formation tes.


    " Let''s set a trap. Besides¡­We also have a formidable poison with us."


    " All you need to do is to lure the demonic ape here." Long Ming told the n to Liu Jiang and Mu Qinglian


    But after a while¡­


    Long Ming''s eyes were cold with his fist was clenching tightly. In front of him, Qin Chen stood, holding a blood colored flower.


    Long Ming didn''t care anymore as he pulled out his sword.


    " Fourth Prince, give that Bloodcloud Hibiscuss. Else¡­ You won''t like the consequences."

 Chapter 149 Mu Qinglian Kills

    <h4>Chapter 149 Mu Qinglian Kills</h4>


    Not after long they noticed the Yellow Horned Dark Ape, Long Ming devised a n to hunt it.


    Liu Jiang''s physique gives him a powerful defensive ability while Mu Qinglian is powerful in general. With an Illusion Trap Formation and poison of the Three Flower Serpent, Long Ming believed that he could hunt the demonic ape.


    The ten petal Bloodcloud Hibiscus is an absolutely rare medicinal herb. It can induce enlightenment in Harmonization Realm cultivators, making them jump to the Nine Transformations of Soul Realm.


    The Yellow Horn Demonic Ape was the king of that area, so there wasn''t any beast near his den. He also managed to hide the Bloodcloud Hibiscus. However, With Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he managed to notice it.


    What''s more, It can be also used by the Nine Transformations of Soul Realm cultivator to refine their qi and soul.


    Not to mention, the Yellow Horned Dark Ape itself is a walking trove of treasure, a dangerous walking trove of treasure. Its demonic core, true blood essence, its pair of horns, its flesh and tail, everything can be used to create powerful treasures and medicinal pills.


    Long Ming''s n worked in the end. Although the Illusion Trap Formation didn''tst long before the might of Yellow Horned Dark Ape, it gave enough time for Mu Qinglian to attack and wound the ape.


    What''s more, with Liu Jiang as a shield, Long Ming used the poison in the wounds of the ape, making it sluggish.


    However, Long Ming''s n didn''t end as he nned.


    As they were kiting the Yellow Horned Demonic Ape, Long Ming felt a wave of malicious aura from behind.


    Without wasting any time, his sword moved as his sword intent exploded out.


    He saw a group of people attacking them from behind. Although they looked like rouge cultivators, Long Ming felt it was definitely arranged by someone.


    However, Long Ming didn''t back down as he used his sword technique to push them back. After all, As long as Mu Qinglianes back, she could ughter them all.


    But then, Long Ming''s eyes shrunk violently when he saw a streak of ink painting across the sky. The ink turned into an arrow and shot at the Yellow Horned Demonic Ape, who was on itsst legs.


    Mu Qinglian sensed the powerful attack and dodged it. The arrow pierced the body of the Yellow Horned Dark Ape, exploding its organs with an inky light.


    Then, a giant palm materialized in the sky, a mprised of ink. The palm swiftly took the Bloodcloud Hibiscuss and retreated.


    Long Ming clenched his fist in anger as he looked at the rogue cultivators who were distracting them from behind. Killing intent flickered around him as he felt he could kill them right here.


    However, he felt more anger toward the real mastermind as he recognized the ink painting across the sky.


    " Fourth Prince Qin Chen, you are really taking things too far."


    Long Ming turned around his head, his Heavenly Revtion Eyes made his azure eyes even colder and mysterious.


    Mu Qinglian was also shocked, and her shock slowly turned into anger as well. After all, the Yellow Horned Dark Ape was simply too powerful. Its fist was enough to shatter the mountain and agility that can evade many attacks.


    Yet, Mu Qinglian with her suppressed strength, almost managed to hunt it. But, Thanks to the Fourth Prince''s meddling, they lost both of the things.


    " Well? Although you guys were fighting against the Yellow Horned Dark Ape, the Bloodcloud Hibiscus was still without any owner, right?" A young man walked out, holding the same scroll held by Qin Chen.


    " You¡­ Aren''t you Fourth Prince''s subordinate?" Mu Qinglian snorted. " We defeated that demonic beast with all our strength. So, Hand over that demonic core and the Bloodcloud Hibiscuss."


    " Why should I?" Cheng Guozi snorted. " Besides, the beast died from my arrow. So, both things should belong to me."


    " Hey¡­ I thought you were Qin Chen. But I guess you are someone who is carrying his treasure, huh?"


    Long Ming looked at Cheng Guozi as he took some deep breaths. " Well, I wonder if I kill you, will Qin Chen step to block us?"


    " Haha, such absurd ims. You think you can defeat me?" Cheng Guozi snorted as he patted the scroll in his hand. " This item was a painting left behind by an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator. You think you can defeat this item?"


    " Well, I can."


    Mu Qinglian''s voice was cold as he walked out. She pulled out a sword that shone with a frigid radiance. Icy blue lights danced around it and one could feel the cold wind even in the middle of the day.


    " Is that¡­An innate type Royal grade weapon? What''s with that tremendous resonance?"


    " Damn it! Just looking at it gives me chills!"


    " Such a powerful Royal grade weapon. Can Saintess Mu bring forth its true power?"


    Cheng Guozhi''s smile vanished when he saw Mu QInglian pull out a Royal grade weapon. In terms of quality, the power of the Royal grade weapon was on par with the scroll he was holding.


    However, with skilled usage and resonance, Mu Qinglian might be able to break through the power of the ink painting.


    " This is one of the Heavenly Emperor Winter Song''s personal sword, the Frozen Flower. So, unless you want your body to turn into a block of ice and shatter, hand over those things." Mu Qinglian pointed the sword at Cheng Guozhi.


    " Yo-You! Hmph, Let''s see how powerful the Saintess of Four Seasons Valley is!"


    Cheng Guozhi knew that Mu Qinglian was supposed to be a cultivator of the Peak stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. Although Cheng Guozhi couldn''t utilize the scroll as Qin Chen could, he just wanted to create an artificial conflict after all.


    Long Ming rubbed his face as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Sister Mu, No need to hesitate. I guess people just want to die a horrible death."


    Mu Qinglian raised her sword as a cold wave of wind burst from it. The frozen blue light shone as it turned into a gigantic sword made of ice.


    " Deste Winter Sword Art! Deste Winter Wave!"


    The gigantic sword moved, making the air freeze with its power. It was like the arrival of winter, the entire area covered with frozen energy and snow.


    Cheng Guozhi shivered as he was horrified by Mu Qinglian''s power.


    Although Royal grade and Imperial Grade weapons were considered as top ss weapons, not everyone could wield them, or take out their entire power.


    There are many restrictions on using high grade weapons, like bloodline restriction, cultivation requirements, orprehension talent.


    Not to mention, without enough qi in the divine sea or enough physical power, a single sh of one of those weapons can simply wring someone dry. And such a case could only bring death in a fight.


    For example, A Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator can only bring forth 30% power of a Royal grade weapon. However, it can be increased if the cultivator is talented or connected with that weapon with bloodline or soul.


    In Mu Qinglian''s case, it was like she was using more than 60% of the power of the Royal grade weapon, almost making her powerful as a Mid stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.


    In Cheng Guozhi''s case, he couldn''t use the treasure painting scroll for long since he wasn''t Qin Chen. So, he was looking around, waiting for the arrival of Qin Chen.


    However, seeing Mu Qinglian''s attack, He opened the scroll again as the painting shone with radiance. Strokes of ink brush appeared in the air, turning into a general holding a gigantic halberd.


    Mu Qinglian snorted as she didn''t care about it. The Frozen Flower Sword shone with radiance as Mu Qinglian was covered with an icy aura. The gigantic sword shed forward as the gust of cold wind turned into many freezing wind des, shing at Cheng Guozhi.


    The ink figure raised its halberd, spinning it to block the attack of Mu Qinglian. However, the frozen des of wind were too solid to get broken like that.


    " Damn it! Sheprehended the Intent of Ice! It''s already reached a high level!"


    " Deste Winter Second Form! Endless Frozen Desert!"


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming was surprised when Mu Qinglian unleashed the true power of Frozen Winter Sword. She wasn''t even using her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body, yet her power already reached this level.


    '' Xia Yuqing was really hiding Mu Qinglian pretty well, huh? At this rate, she would be undoubtedly one of the top cultivators in the young generation, if not the strongest.''


    The second form of Deste Winter Sword Art filled entire are with frozen sword qi. The sword qi turned into a vast field of snow and came crashing at Cheng Guozhi like an avnche.


    " Damn it! Hurry and block!"


    Cheng Guozhi was horrified when he saw Mu Qinglian couldpete with the power of the scroll.? Suddenly, the snowy filled covered the ink figure as the ink started to crystalize.


    Cracks appeared on the inky figure as its movement became sluggish. With Mu Qinglian''s continuous shes, she broke apart that figure.


    " Halt!"


    Long Ming turned around and saw Qin Chen and his group rushing at them.


    Cheng Guozhi was ted when he saw Qin Chen was about to arrive. Yet, he saw a blue colored icy sword appear before him as it stabbed into his heart.


    The power of Mu Qinglian''s move was tremendous. Some other cultivators who were also the henchmen of Cheng Guozhi got killed by the power.


    Long Ming blinked as he pulled out the spatial ring of Cheng Guozhi, retrieving the Bloodcloud Hibiscus and the demonic core of Twin Horn Dark Ape.


    " Damn it! How dare you to kill my men!"


    Qin Chen''s face was dark as he stood before the corpse of Cheng Guozhi. Mu Qinglian''s face was expressionless as she flicked the bloodstains from the Frozen Flower.


    Soon, the atmosphere became tense as both parties red at each other.

 Chapter 150 Threat

    <h4>Chapter 150 Threat</h4>


    Mu Qinglian didn''t back down when Qin Chen and his group arrived before her. Qin Chen''s face was ugly when he saw the dead bodies of Cheng Guozhi and others.


    '' These damned bastards! I only asked them to trouble Mu Qinglian and others. With my Halberd General Scroll, he only needed to stall time before I arrived.''


    '' Yet, This fucker got killed even after all that!'' Qin Chen snorted inwardly. '' Just¡­How powerful has Mu Qinglian be after thest time?''


    " Fourth Prince Qin Chen, I don''t think you need to give us such a surprised face." Long Ming sneered.


    " What do you mean? Are you using me of attacking you?" Qin Chen snorted as he looked at Long Ming.


    " Using your treasured painting scroll, your subordinates attacks us during our fight with a powerful demonic beast." Long Mingughed coldly. " Yet, You are still saying you aren''t behind this attack?"


    " Cheng Guozhi¡­"


    Before Qin Chen could finish his sentence, Long Ming interjected. " I guess the Fourth Prince wanted to say that his subordinate acted on his own? Hehe, If the Fourth Prince can''t even handle his subordinate, how will he handle the nation in the future?"


    " Yo-You!! How dare you!"


    Long Ming smacked his lips when he saw Qin Chen finally get triggered. His calm andposed persona faded instantly as he red at Long Ming with a murderous aura.


    He was already jealous of Long Ming the moment he saw him. However, now, he didn''t bother to hide his malicious intent at all.


    " Good! Good!" Qin Chen snorted. " Even if my subordinate did something, you have no right to kill him. Hmph! By killing him, You challenged the authority of the Holy Qilin Imperial Family."


    Qin Chen''s subordinates wore purple furr armor as they stepped forward. All of them pulled out their sword in unison, pointing at the team of Long Ming.


    " Hmph! Fourth Prince Qin Chen, Aren''t you going too far?" Liu Jiang snorted as he stepped forward. His Purple Crystal Mountain Physique shone with a bright light, making the surrounding area oppressive.


    " I was also fighting along with Brother Long when your subordinate attacked us and stole our hard earned treasure. You are saying you would have protected him?"


    Qin Chen frowned when he saw Liu Jiang stepping forward for Four Seasons Valley. The Liu Family of Souther Green Mountain was still a powerful family with a rich heritage.


    He felt something was amiss when Liu Jiang supported Mu Qinglian. Qin Chen felt his n might not work. But, He can''t back down now.


    " Liu Family of Southern Green Mountain, You don''t need to meddle in the affairs of the Holy Qilin Empire." Qin Chen snorted. " I don''t know what happened here. But, My subordinate Cheng Guozhi got killed with his other brothers. You think I will stay still?"


    " Hoho, I guess Fourth Prince finally showed his color, huh?" Long Ming gave a cold chortle. " Why don''t you tell me what''s your real motive?"


    " Heh, Motive?" Qin Chen walked forward as he looked at Long Ming. " Hanf over the treasure you got from here. Also, aspensation, Hand over the Spring Returning Flowing Art and Sword Technique."


    The crowd was shocked when they heard Qin Chen''s demand. Even if Four Seasons Valley turned into a weak sect after standing tall for ten thousand years, its former power was still something widely spread across the entire Rain Dragon Continent.


    Spring Returning Sword Art? Isn''t that a powerful Royal grade technique? Pairing with the energy cultivation method, it can easily rival an Imperial grade technique!"


    " Damn it! Fourth Prince is really biting a big piece of the pie in one go, huh?"


    Qin Chen chuckled when he saw the cold expression of Mu Qinglian and Long Ming. " Well, Sister Mu, As far as I know, the Returning Spring Sword Art in your sect is wed. So, Why not hand over to me?"


    " Who knows? Maybe I could repair the technique and return it to you?"


    " Hmph, Such bold words!" Mu Qinglian snorted as she pointed her sword at Qin Chen. " Fourth Prince Qin Chen, are you dering war on Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Oh my! War? Who said that?" Qin Chen ridiculed. " I am just extractingpensation from you for killing my subordinate. You shouldn''t have killed him."


    The soldiers around Qin Chen were already radiating cold aura as they pointed their weapons at Long Ming and Mu Qinglian. Liu Jiang was furious when Qin Chen didn''t mind him at all.


    " Hmph! Qin Chen, you think others will tolerate such behaviors of yours? You think Imperial Family will back you up?" Liu Jiang snorted.


    " Imperial Family? Even if they don''t help me, I have my own power." Qin Chen snorted. " So, Better not try to threaten me."


    " Oh, Is that so?" Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Qin Chen. " I guess that''s how the Imperial Family of Holy Qillin Empire treats other sects? Hmm, I should ask to Third Prince Qin Zhong."


    " Hmph? You think you can scare me with Qin Zhong''s name?" Qin Chen snorted.


    " Scare?" Long Mingughed lightly. " Who is talking about scaring you? However, It will be good to check the attitude of Prince Qin Zhong regarding you, his junior brother."


    " He was at the old ruins of Inner Zone and might have already been in Core Zone. I will simply give this demonic beast corpse and a Ten petal Bloodcloud Hibiscus to him." Long Ming looked at Qin Chen. " I am sure he won''t mind to give us justice."


    He took out a talisman, about to crush it. " What do you say, Prince Qin Chen? Shall we escte this matter?"


    " Hmph! Don''t you think you can escape like that?" Qin Chen''s eyes turned cold as he looked at Long Ming.


    A sharp aura burst from his body, turning into a mirage of a giant qilin. The qilin gazed at Long Ming, trying to make him fall on his knees.


    However, Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura flickered as he felt he was connected with the heaven and earth of Azure Sun Sacred Realm. He didn''t feel any pressure at all, as he stood proudly as before.


    Mu Qinglian secretly used her physique to defend her body. However, she could feel the power of Qin Chen''s Holy Qilin bloodline. But Long Ming stood calmly, with a light mocking smile.


    " What do you say, Fourth Prince? Please do something other than empty threats."


    " Hahaha!" Qin Chen suddenly burst outughing. " Very well!"


    " Listen, everyone! Since Mu Qinglian and Long Ming killed my subordinate and a member of the Holy Qilin Imperial Army, I challenge them to a duel tomorrow."


    " If you lose, you need to hand over all the treasures along with the Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art."


    Qin Chen''s voice echoed like a deafening roar. Mu Qinglian''s face was cold when she heard that.


    '' Haah, I guess this bastard was already eyeing the Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    [ Ding! New Quest generated!]


    [ Provoking a genius out of jealousy same as smashing stones on their own feet. ept the challenge and make them suffer a crushing defeat]


    [ Reward: Comprehension of Ancient Rune: Seal]


    [ Failure: All reputation will plummet. The favorability of Four Seasons Valley shall vanish!]


    Long Ming looked at the quest as a smile appeared on his face.


    " Well, Fourth Prince, Aren''t you acting pretty hypocritical?"? Long Ming fanned his Plum Blossoms Fan.


    " Why should we duel with you? Fourth Prince, You are still just a prince. You are neither the Crown Prince nor the Emperor. You think we will bow our heads and ept whatever you say?"


    Long Ming shrugged when he saw the face of Qin Chen turning red from anger and frustration. " You are casually asking for so many treasure from us. You should bet treasures of simr values, no?"


    " Or, Perhaps the Fourth Prince is so poor that he can''t afford such treasures?"


    " Bastard!"


    Qin Chen cursed as he looked at the surroundings. He could see the crowd already increased. Even disciples of various prominent powerhouses were watching the situation.


    Qin Chen, who was also one of the candidates for the throne of the Holy Qilin Empire, didn''t wish to ruin his reputation like that. After all, without the support of the masses, he could never achieve a stable throne.


    " Very well, I will wager Holy Spring Pearl of Imperial Family." Qin Chen snorted. " This treasure was left behind by one of our Ancient Lord Realm ancestors. This pearl contains his life essence andprehensions."


    Long Ming looked at Qin Chen as he smiled. " I have already recorded the promise of Prince Qin Chen. So, let''s have a fair duel tomorrow. I can''t wait to take that Holy Spring Pearl."


    " Heh, How bold."


    Qin Chen snorted as he turned around. " Let''s go. We will see them tomorrow."


    " Ancient Arena of Core Zone. Don''t forget."


    The middle aged man standing behind Qin Chen gave a cold re to Long Ming.


    Long Ming felt like a pressure weighing down on him like a mountain. The cold gaze filled with murderous intent, targeting Long Ming.


    However, out of instinct, Long Ming''s Chaotic Murder Heart activated, releasing his own killing intent at the middle aged man.


    The middle aged man trembled as he hurriedly turned around.


    No one saw his face and trembling lips.


    Long Ming, who was unknown to that, looked at Mu Qinglian. " Sister Mu, I guess we need to prepare."

 Chapter 151 Chance Meeting

    <h4>Chapter 151 Chance Meeting</h4>


    Long Ming looked at Liu Jiang with a bitter smile. " Brother Liu, I am really sorry. Due to me, You got to the bad side of Qin Chen and the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire."


    " That''s alright, Brother Long." Liu Jiang nodded. " Our Liu Family isn''t that weak either. Besides, Qin Chen alone can''t decide the? intent of the Imperial Family."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming sighed. " That damned bastard. His eyes were on the Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art all along. What a ck hearted bastard."


    " Brother Liu, We should part now. Let''s meet at the dueling ce tomorrow."


    " Indeed, Brother


    " To think Qin Chen would go this far. Hah, I guess the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire finally going to act against Four Seasons Valley, huh?" Mu Qinglian''s voice was cold as she walked away from the ce.


    " I guess our enemies are gathering in Central Zone." Long Ming chuckled. " Why not just turn around and run away?"


    " You want me to back down from the duel?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming.


    " Qin Chen is extremely confident in his ability. Maybe he is carrying an Imperial grade treasure or something like that? Something that even gives him the ability to defeat even Harmonization Realm cultivators."


    " Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire isn''t weak at all. So, Qin Chen might be carrying numerous treasures." Mu Qinglian nodded. " However, It''s not like I am without any preparation either."


    " Master gave me some means to defend myself. With those, I think I can defeat him."


    " So, Master favored you yet there is nothing for me, huh?" Long Ming smiled bitterly.


    " I am sure you probably have some tricks up to your sleeve too. Don''t act like you are a weak chicken." Mu Qinglian snorted.


    " Anyway, Since we are here, We should visit a secret ce in Herbal Sanctuary." Long Ming spoke mysteriously.


    " A secret ce?" Mu Qinglian was startled. But since Long Ming was speaking with such certainty, she didn''t doubt him at all.


    Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes to scan his surroundings. Sure enough, he noticed some hidden spies, who were lurking around them and watching their moves.


    '' It might not be Qin Chen only. More than a few groups are spying on us. Such annoyance.'' Long Ming snorted inwardly, informing Mu Qinglian about them.


    " Heh, They must be using some high grade Concealment Talismans. Even I didn''t notice their aura." Mu Qinglian almost pulled out her Frozen Flower. Yet, Long Ming stopped her.


    " No need. It will make them more wary of us." Long Ming smiled. " Let''s just escape. I am sure they won''t be able to catch us."


    Long Ming''s Raging Storm Wigs appeared behind him as it turned invisible. Using the Rushing Lightning Steps with the Raging Storm Wings, Long Ming suddenly felt the power of Wind and Lightning coursing through his body,


    " Here I go!"


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming turned into a sh of lightning, disappearing from his spot. Only a brief moment he vanished, and the booming sound of wind and lightning echoed, marking the awe of his speed.


    Mu Qinglian was also astonished when she saw Long Ming''s speed. Autumn wind swirled around her as she also jumped, following Long Ming as she flew away.


    '' What kind of treasure is he using? Or is that a technique?'' Mu Qinglian was shocked as even she was using a considerable amount of her true qi.


    '' With his speed, I can think even Harmonization Realm cultivators without any agility techniques would find him a headache. He is truly filled with mysteries.''


    Taking some detours, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian reached a nearby mountain peak, and they immediately concealed their aura.


    Long Ming simply used his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique''s concealment and his aura vanished.


    " This mountain peak is barren here. I can''t see even a hundred year old medicinal herb." Mu Qinglian gave a casual remark.


    However, Long Ming was using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, trying to sense the anomaly in that mountain peak.


    " Hmm, There are seven Red Birch Trees around us. However, that fifth Red Birch Tree¡­It''s a Red Spirit Wood tree." Long Ming mumbled. " This is¡­Arge formation of Fire and Wood attribute."


    Using Senior Bu''s memories, Long Ming knew there was supposed to be a cottage here that would guide them to a special ce filled with lots of ancient and precious medicinal herbs.


    However, He couldn''t see any entrance at all. But he did sense arge formation sealing the entire area. And such an array formation, even a Formation Emperor would find headache to crack.


    " Sister Mu, There is arge ancient array formation here. Even with my abilities, I am not sure if I could crack this."


    " Is that so?" Mu Qinglian frowned. " Is this array formation dangerous? You don''t need to risk it if you are unsure."


    Long Ming smiled when he saw Mu Qinglian was actually caring for him. With a thoughtful expression, he shook his head.


    " No, I don''t want to go back empty handed. There must be a way."


    Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and scanned the entire area. He wanted to find the energy vein of the formation and disrupt it, making the formation shut down.


    But he realized that the formation was drawing power directly from the underground spirit vein. So, he can''t shut it at all, unless he destroys the underground spirit vein.


    '' Wait a second¡­Why must I destroy it?''


    A sudden thought appeared in Long Ming''s heart as he was startled. He just wanted to enter the secret space with Mu Qinglian. If he can''t stop the formation from working entirely, he can at least create a small hole to crawl in, right?


    Using an error or a bug in the system to enter inside, he could totally try that method.


    Taking out his Treasured Jade Brush, Long Ming hurried to the Red Spirit Wood tree.


    He circted the Soaring Water Moon Art as Intent of Water gushed into the brush, making a blue colored ink appear on the nib. With swift movements, Long Ming started to carve runes on the trunk of the tree.


    " Water grows the Wood and extinguishes the fire. Since I can''t directly apply water on the fire because the fire rune is too strong, I can make the wood grow,


    " After all, a green trunk with full of life and vitality can disrupt the me, if notpletely extinguish it."


    Suddenly, blue colored runic chains bloomed on the Red Spirit Wood, as if water running in the veins of the tree. The tree grew as its leaves became more and more green.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes caught a shift of space, as a small crack in formation appeared. His treasured brush sshed in the air, making several runic chains and shooting them at the crack.


    " Sister Mu, I have opened a small crack! Look, We can see a fraction of cottage through it." Long Ming eximed.


    " You are really a genius." Mu Qinglian was also surprised. But since Long Ming seeded, she and Long Ming swiftly entered the gap, reaching the cottage.


    The moment Long Ming and Mu Qinglian opened the cottage, they felt the space around them shifting.


    " This¡­Where are we?"


    Long Ming looked around him with confusion. He felt like he was standing on the same peak. Yet, everything appeared to be different now.


    " That¡­ Is that a Hundred Thousand Year Old Purple me Grass?" Mu Qinglian was shocked as she pointed at a herb with trembling hands.


    " And such a rich blood aura¡­ That''s a Three Transformation Blood Xuan Turtle! Why such a beast is here?"


    " A Two Hundred Thousand Year old Cloud Cordyceps, A Three Hundred Thousand Year old Soaring Phoenix Flower¡­ What the fuck¡­"


    Even Long Ming was dumbfounded when he saw the herbs. Each of the herbs can simply plung the sects into chaos. And this many herbs? Even the entire Eastern Province might get swept with battles.


    However, as Long Ming and Mu Qinglian were looking at their surroundings with greed and awe, a voice boomed.


    " Who awakened me from the slumber? Who trespassed the Herbal Sanctuary?"


    The voice was so oppressive that even Mu Qinglian fell on her knees. Yet, Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura and Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique managed to stop it, making him look unaffected.


    " Interesting. I never thought a puny cultivator would be able to stand before me¡­Huh? Wait, Why can''t I see your cultivation?"


    The voice carried a hint of surprise, as light particles gathered before Long Ming and Mu Qinglian, forming into the shape of an elder.


    " Who are you? How did you enter the Great Soul Illusion Formation?" The elder asked. " No¡­The formation isn''t broken yet. There is a¡­crack. I see¡­"


    " Elder, I am Long Ming, the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley. And she is Mu Qinglian, Saintess of Four Seasons Valley. We are both the disciples of the current Sect master."


    " What? True Disciple and Saintess? Of my sect?"


    Mu Qinglian felt the suppressive aura vanishing from her body as she slowly got up. The light figure looked at them with mixed emotions, of joy and sorrow, along with a lot of guilt.


    " I see¡­ How many years it has been since I woke up? That cursed thing really ruined everything. But at least we sealed it in Azure Sun Realm."


    " How is the situation of the sect now? What is our current ranking in Rain Dragon Chart?"


    While Long Ming was confused, Mu Qinglian sighed bitterly. " Elder, Our ce is¡­ at 88th."


    " What?! WHAT?!" The elder was shocked. " 88th? Even if we got affected by that cursed bastard, even if our sect declined, we should be in at least the top twenty, right?"


    " Esteemed Elder, After the cmity¡­"


    As the elder heard about all the things that happened after the cmity of Four Seasons Valley, he was visibly shocked.


    " Haha¡­ Wheel of Time is really cruel huh? To think Empress Hong''s words came true in the end." The elder sighed.


    " But what about you, elder? Who are you and¡­"


    " Let me introduce myself."? The figure became a mode distinct and solid.


    " I am Hao Tianci, the Supreme Elder of the Disciplinary Department. As what happened back then, Let me tell you."

    Meanwhile, the poor humble daoist put down his quill, looking at the newly written scroll with a thoughtful expression. Theck of tokens of appreciation like castles, bothered him a bit.


    '' Hmm, Since Long Ming is talking about error and bug, should I make him wear a monocle out of nowhere?''

 Chapter 152 Change in Quest

    <h4>Chapter 152 Change in Quest</h4>


    " How should I start? It was quite some time after Empress Crimson Sky left the Heaven Pir ne. She created the Azure Sun Realm to train the disciples in the Yang attribute methods, it was very suitable for the male disciples."


    " The Azure Sun Realm became a powerful training ground for the male disciples of Four Seasons Valley."


    " However, the peace and prosperitysted till the cmity appeared." Hao Tianci sighed as he looked at the sky.


    " I guess it was during the appearance of Amethyst Sky Heavenly Pce, spatial fissures appeared across the entire region. It was normal as such things happened every time the pce appeared."


    " However, from a nearby spatial crack, a beam of ck light fell into the Azure Sun Realm, and merged with one of the spirit veins."


    " The spirit veins here were blessed by the aura of Heavenly Emperor Crimson Sky. However, that cursed thing managed to devour it and grew stronger."


    " There were seven great spirit veins, and that thing devoured one of them. However, before it could devour others, the sect master of that time noticed the anomaly and dispatched a group of disciples to handle it."


    " But who could have thought that such a thing would be like a disaster from heaven? After numerous casualties, Sect Master didn''t hesitate to put everything on the line, even sacrificed his life to seal that monster."


    " Meanwhile, elders like me, who survived the disaster, realized that the sea alone couldn''t stop the monster inside the Azure Sun Realm at all."


    " If it came out, not only the Four Seasons Valley, the entire Eastern Region would plunge to death and chaos."


    " So me with a few other elders sealed ourselves with the remaining great spirit veins, forming seals to stop the corruption of that monster. Out of five of us, I guess three of them already died."


    " Only me and Ancestor Huang are remaining. SIgh, At this rate, I might live only a few more centuries before dying."


    " Then what about that monster?" Long Ming asked in a low voice.? " You guys used the personal weapon of Empress Crimson Sky and Empress Winter Song, along with the Four Directions Grand Sword Formations. Yet you guys couldn''t kill it off?"


    " Haah, It looks like you also have some information." Hao Tianci nodded. " Yes, we used various powerful things, but that thing is simply¡­Otherworldly."


    " It''s estimated strength was at¡­at least Ancient Lord Realm rank."


    " But that''s not the issue. The real issue was its shell." Hao Tianci sighed. " I don''t know if it was its natural shell or it gained such a treasure from somewhere else."


    " It''s body isn''t that powerful. If it was any normal circumstance, the power was enough to deter even a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator."


    " Yet, that shield on its body, it stopped all the attack of the Four Directional Grand Sword Formations. Even the Sr me Wheel only managed to make some dents on it."


    " If there was a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator with us, we could have still won. However, we only had two Ancient Lord Realm ancestors back then. Sect Master only reached the peak of Dao Refining Realm."


    " And the end¡­ You knew what happened." Hao Tianci sighed. " We almost managed to kill it. Yet it hid inside its shell, leaving us no choice but to seal it."


    " You almost killed it? So, It''s in the crippled state now?" Long Ming asked in a cautious voice.


    " Yes, it almost died. Yet, that damed shell. It shielded it perfectly. But it''s evil power managed to kill almost all of us."


    " My true body is still recovering and sealing two great spirit veins at the same time in Herbal Sanctuary."


    " As you can see, there are so many precious things here. Yet, I can''t use any of them. Because, if my physical body moves, the seal will get broken and the monster might get unleashed."


    " Elder Hao, After the cmity, the Sky Martial Tower attacked us and took away many of our treasures. Those bastards¡­" Mu Qinglian snorted.


    " Heh, During our heyday, they couldn''t even lift their head before us." Hao Tianci snorted. " Empress Crimson Sky killed three of their True Disciples when she was aiming for the Heavenly Throne."


    " But I guess after the cmity, the strength of Four Seasons Valley declined sharply. They really grasped the opportunity and dealt a sharp blow to our sect. Those motherfuckers¡­"


    Hao Tianci sighed with disappointment and anger. But he realized he couldn''t do anything at all.


    " Thanks to the formation and the nonstop overflow of true qi, the herbs and treasures nurtured here way faster. So, take whatever you like and leave this realm." Hua Tianci turned around.


    " With so many herbs, nurturing a few Dao Refining Realm cultivators won''t be any issues at all. You might even be able to reinforce the sect with an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator."


    Long Ming looked at Hua Tianci. " Are you noting with us, Elder Hao? Besides, didn''t you say Ancestor Huang is also here?"


    " Haha, Brat, I appreciate your concern." Elder Hao chuckled. " However, as I said, I can''t leave this ce. Unless that cmity gets eradicatedpletely, I can''t leave this ce."


    Long Ming and Mu Qinglian exchanged nces as they sighed. Judging Hao Tianci''s power, the Four Seasons Valley''s influence would expand if he came back to the sect.


    " So, What exactly is that monster?" Mu Qinglian took a sharp breath as she looked at Hao Tianci.


    " It was like a giant mountain of pulsing grey flesh, with strange and exotic nts growing on its body. It got many eyes around its body, and tree branch like hands."


    " On its back, there was a shell like a cauldron. But it was filled with the primordial dao rhythm, almostparable to a Grand Heaeven Ascension Realm. Such a strange creature, I never saw any records of that."


    " We named it¡­ The Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster."


    [ Ding! Host learned the secret of the Azure Sun Realm. Host is getting an auxiliary reward. Ancient Runic Comprehension: Union]


    [ Ding! Quest details changed]


    [ y the Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster]


    [ Rewards: A Divine grade Treasure Chest! Comprehension of remaining seven runes!]


    [ Failure: Death]


    [ Host can choose not to ept it]


    Long Ming frowned when he saw the altered quest. He realized the gravity of the situation since even the System gave him the choice to not ept it.


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries gazing at you with curious eyes]


    '' Since the system gave me the mission, that means I still have some chance to kill the Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster. But the danger of the mission is too high''


    " Elder Hao, Do you have any idea how to kill that monster?" Long Ming looked at Hao Tianci. " I am not talking about our strength, but other means to kill it."


    " There are many ways you can kill it." Hao Tianci spoke. " As long as it leaves its damned shell, the power of the Four Directional Grand Sword Formation can kill it."


    " Or a fully unleashed Primal Emperor Treasure can also kill it. But, As I said, It''s almost impossible."


    " I see¡­"


    Long Ming pondered as he nodded.


    '' No matter what, I need to increase my strength first. My qi cultivation is still limited to the True Core Formation Realm. So, I can only focus on my physique now.''


    " Sister Mu, Since we are here, we should reap the benefits of this ce." Long Ming looked at her. " Why don''t you summon all of our junior sisters here? This ce is very safe and good for cultivation."


    " But what about you? Are you going to stay here?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming.


    " I need to undergo the Minor Physique Tribtion." Long Ming smiled. " So, I am going to enter meditation."


    " Don''t worry, As long as I am here, no one can touch you guys in this ce." Hao Tianci spoke. Mu Qinglian gave a quick nce at Long Ming as she turned around to leave.


    Long Ming nodded as a scroll appeared in his hand. Opening it, he could see a single word written on it.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes turned deep azure as his Deste Immortal Aura burst forth. Hua Tianci''s eyes turned wide when he felt thews of heaven and earth in the Azure Sun Secret Realm were trembling.


    " He¡­ He is resonating with thews of heaven and earth? That''s something only Nine Transformations of Soul Realm cultivators can do!"


    Long Ming felt the scroll before him turning into a window, opening the way toward a new realm ofprehension.


    Union, one of the nine true runes which are the base of rune inscription. However, they don''t only get used in runes, but the universe itself.


    Many things contradict each other. Yet, there is also a bnce that can make several conflicted things unite.

    With enoughprehension, one can unite physique, energy, and soul. One can unite the heaven and earth with their heart, transcending the mortal dust.


    Long Ming felt he was traversing in a starry space, witnessing countless worlds and realms. He could see various techniques, creatures, and abstract concepts.


    Some of them were too hard to grasp, and some of them were too easy to learn. But Long Ming was only focused on one thing.


    " Unity¡­ True unity of man, heaven, and earth¡­ Unification of I and the world."


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt like his entire body merged into the world itself, making him part of the cosmos, a figure of endless bright and dark sky.


    Clouds rumbled as the region filled with dark clouds, with pale white and golden lightning crackling in them.

 Chapter 153 Passing The Tribulation

    <h4>Chapter 153 Passing The Tribtion</h4>


    Long Ming suddenly felt his connection with his Great Mystic Mountain Physique increased. Hepletely digested the Ten Millenium Mountain Essence as a divine power erupted from his body.


    Long Ming felt an earth crushing weight, even his blood became heavier than lead. He felt a single drop of his blood could crush a mortal to death, His body slowly transformed, his bones shattered and reformed and his marrow filled with the essence of a mountain.


    A gigantic shadow of a mountain appeared around him. The aura of a gigantic divine mountain whose peaks were grazing against the auspicious cloud. Just looking at the mountain would give someone a tremendous oppressive feeling, like their body is crushed by an invisible weight.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming''s entire physique was reconstructed by the energy, the pain was enough to make him faint a thousand times. But this time, Long Ming gritted his teeth and persisted.


    Hearing the crackling sounds of lightning, Long Ming looked at the sky filled with dark clouds. The white and pale golden lightning danced in the sky, like giant beasts of lightning running around.


    Long Ming could feel shiver throughout his body, the natural instinct of danger from the heavenly lightning.


    However, Long Ming''s gaze was determined as he looked at the sky. He waspletely confident in hisprehension of the Great Mystic Mountain Physique.


    As long one has enoughprehension of the physique technique they were cultivating, the chances of death decreased very much. Not to mention, some treasures and pills can be used to defend against the Minor Physique Tribtion.


    However, Long Ming felt the more tempering he would get from the Minor Physique Tribtion, the better it would be for his physique cultivation.


    " Th-This¡­ This is Imperial Physique Heavenly Tribtion. A vast mountain? Are you cultivating Great Mystic Mountain Physique?" Hao Tianci was shocked when he looked at Long Ming. The tribtion cloud covered the entire Herbal Sanctuary, and even Hao Tianci trembled a bit.


    Physique Tribtion is said to be more dangerous than qi cultivation tribtion. It can bypass one''s cultivation and directly strike the fleshly body. Besides, the higher grade one''s physique, the more powerful the tribtion would be.


    Suddenly, the dark clouds swirled as a bolt of lightning descended on Long Ming''s body. Long Ming felt his body was about to shatter as the lightning hit him.


    At that moment, he could feel the Deste Immortal Aura absorbing the heavenly aura of the tribtion lightning along with his physique.


    Long Ming didn''t make any sound as he silently endured the first bolt. However, after the first bolt, several dozen bolts of lightning descended from the sky.


    '' Whoa! Aren''t you increasing difficulties way too fast?!"


    Long Ming was shocked when he saw the rain of tribtion lightning. However, there was no way he could dodge. His Great Mytsic Mountain Physique activated as a gigantic mountain range appeared above hi, shielding him from the lightning.


    The mountain trembled as cracks appeared around it due to the impacts of lightning. However, Long Ming focused absorbing the heavenly aura and feeding his Deste Immortal Aura and his body.


    The appearance of his physique phenomenon made the sky even darker. This time, rather than bolts of lightning, pirs of heavenly lightning descended, covering the entire area.


    The surroundings of Long Ming became charred, as the nts and grass were destroyed. The lightning bombarded on the mystical mountain and coursed through it, hitting Long Ming''s fleshly body.


    His clothes already burnt to crispsas various wounds appeared on his body. The intensity of lightning strikes became more and more, making Long Ming scream in pain.


    '' No¡­ I must stay sane. I must keep the essence of Great Mystic Mountain Physique in my heart."


    " Unmovable, unshakable¡­"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The clouds churned as the lightning crackled even more violently. However, the lightning didn''t fall but turned condensed together. Soon, a miniature mountain of lightning appeared, covered with white and pale golden lightning.


    Long Ming felt an overwhelming amount of pressure,, even the mystic mountain above him trembled before the aura.


    '' Fuck! It''s harder than I thought! The aura alone can make my physique tremble under suppression.'' Long Ming felt his vision was turning blurry and his thoughts slowing down. His entire body was covered with charred flesh, with the scent of burnt meat entering his nostrils.


    '' Haaah, Should I have prepared some protection talisman or pills before undergoing Minor Physique Tribtion? Fuck, if this is minor, what the hell would be Grand Physique Tribtion would be?''


    " Hey! Hey brat! You can''t just die like that! This is the final round!" Hao Tianci shouted in anxiety when he saw Long Ming lying on the ground with serious injuries.


    " Here! Take this! You must surpass the tribtion no matter what!"


    Long Ming saw a red colored grassnding before him. The fragrance of the herbs made Long Ming''s nose twitch as a strange strength entered his body.


    " This¡­This is a Five Hundred Thousand year old Seven Leaf Vermilion grass?"


    Long Ming was shocked when he saw that herb. Without wasting any time, he chewed that herb and used his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique to absorb the energy.


    The berserk energy of blood vigor entered his body, making his body brim with endless strength. However, due to its raw nature, the energy was still hard for Long Ming to control properly.


    " RAAARGHHHHH!"


    Long Ming slowly stood up as he roared, echoing along with the deafening thunder. The sky turned bright as the pir of tribtion lightning fell from the sky.


    Long Ming''s great mountain got crushed to pieces as his body smashed against the mountain of lightning. Long Ming could feel the overwhelming amount of tribtion lightning invading his body, destroying him from both outside and inside.


    However, it wasn''t simple lightning energy, but the dao of physique that is hidden in thews of heaven and earth.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s heart calmed as theprehension of the concept of Unity echoed in his mind.


    " True unity, harmony between various elements."


    He guided the Lightning Qi into his True Core, which already had a trace of tribtion lightning. The aura of heaven and earth shattered and rebuilt his physique, tempering the Great Mystic Mountain Physique.


    He also used the aura to suppress the violent energy of Seven Leaf Vermilion Grass and merge with his body and qi.


    Long Ming''s charred skin peeled off, revealing his perfect body with muscles brimming with power. His pair of azure eyes shed, giving him a handsome and mysterious look.


    The dark clouds rumbled for a few more moments as they slowly dispersed, and the sunlight again filled thend.


    " Elder Hao, thank you for your timely help. Without you, I might have died there." Long Ming cupped his fist before Hao Tianci.


    " No need. Even if I hadn''t intervened, I don''t think someone like you would have died." Hao Tianci shook his head. " But to think you would reach Minor Completion of an Imperial grade physique at such a young age."


    " Thank you for your praise, Elder Hao." Long Ming spoke in a mild voice. " Wait, How much time passed?"


    " From the moment you sat in meditation, almost six hours have passed already."


    " Whoa? Six hours?" Long Ming was shocked.


    Long Ming stretched his body as he sensed that he reached theplete Minor Completion stage of the Great Mystic Mountain Physique. Using a bit of his strength, Long Ming stomped his field.


    *BOOOOOM*


    The ground quaked as spiderweb-like cracks appeared around Long Ming, spanning dozens of meters. Long Ming could feel his weight and defense already increased tremendously.


    Even a casual punch of his pure physical strength can crush Xuan grade treasures or low level cultivators.


    '' If I go all out now with only my Minorpletion Physique, even Low stage Harmonization Realm cultivator might not be able to stop me. Qin Chen, Just see how I am going to snap your neck.'' Long Ming chuckled inwardly.


    What''s more, Long Ming could feel the Lightning Qi in his True core also increased. His Deste Immortal Aura is now even making him connected with the Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth.


    " Brother Long! Are you alright!"


    " Senior Brother!


    " Huh? You guys are here."


    Long Ming turned around and saw the disciples of Four Seasons Valley were there again.


    " What was that scary storm? Senior Brother, did you go through a tribtion?"


    Lin Xie pondered. " Hmm, Looking at your body, It might be possible."


    " Hehe, Senior Brother''s physique is marvelous." Chen Yin smacked her lips as she looked at him


    Long Ming looked at them as he nodded. " Yes, I just reached the Minor Completion stage of my physique."


    " Hehe, Does that mean you became more powerful, Brother Long?" Ming Yuexin grinned.


    Long Ming''s eyelid flinched when he saw Mu Qinglian arrive, Suddenly, her face froze as she looked at Long Ming with a stunned expression.


    " Yo-You¡­"


    " Huh? What is it?" Long Ming asked.


    Luo Yingying sighed. " As usual, Senior Brother Long is showing off his body again."


    " Eh, It''s not like I am seeing it for the first time."


    " Me neither."


    Long Ming''s face turned dark as he realized his clothes had been destroyed by the lightning.


    But hearing the chatter of the girls, Mu Qinglian and Long Ming became speechless, looking at each other silently.


    " I¡­"

 Chapter 154 Hidden Danger of Core Zone

    <h4>Chapter 154 Hidden Danger of Core Zone</h4>


    " Ahem, You guys are getting too mischievous." Long Ming blushed as he wore his robe. " Couldn''t you have reminded me that my clothes were burnt?"


    The girls actually looked at each other in shock when more than half of them admitted seeing Long Ming naked.


    " Well¡­ We saw Senior Brother when he got injured in the Wine Gathering battle." Chen Yin and Lin Xie spoke.


    " Me too." Shui Huan added. Lin Xie and Chen Yin were shocked. " Wait, You weren''t in that room, How did you¡­"


    " Ahem¡­"


    SHui Huan blushed as she shook her head. " I just¡­ I just saw it, ok? Don''t ask when."


    " I saw when he was practicing battle techniques in Sister Mu''s courtyard." Luo Yingying spoke.


    " I¡­ Uh¡­ I also just saw once¡­ identally." Ming Yuexin blushed as she averted her gaze. But one can see her smacking her lips as if she was remembering something.


    " Alright! No need to brag!" Long Ming spoke hurriedly. " First, Meet Elder Hao. He was the past Disciplinary Hall''s head elder."


    Hao Tianci was grimacing when he saw the situation, But he quickly regained hisposure and nodded. " I see, There are quite some good seedlings here."


    " Actually, After Empress Crimson Sky, we moved all Yang attribute techniques here. So, when the secret realm copsed, the techniques were either destroyed or sealed here in a secluded space." Hao Tianci spoke.


    Long Ming looked at the disciples of Four Seasons Valley. " The Core Zone is about to get dangerous. So, All of you shall stay here. Cultivate and harvest herbs. Also, there are some herbs which you can refine directly without refining into medicinal pills."


    Hao Tianci nodded. " I don''t know about other parts, but this part of Herbal Sanctuary is sealed by the array formation. So fromst few thousand years, no one stepped inside."


    " So, you guys just take whatever here. There is also a spirits stone mine here." Hao Tianci smiled. " I just hope you make the Four Seasons Valley rise again."


    " Elder Hao, You said Ancestor Huang is also here? Can we meet him?" Long Ming looked at Hao Tianci.


    " Ancestor Huang is a Dao Refining Realm cultivator. He burned his lifespan and sealed the remaining Imperial Spirit Veins." Hao Tianci sighed. " The ce he is currently sealed is very dangerous. You can say it''s the center of Four Direction Grand Sword Formation."


    " You need to go to the central pce, which should be shielded tightly." Hao Tianci warned Long Ming. Waving his hand, a token appeared. " Take this. With this, you can bypass the formation of the central pce."


    " However, beware." Hao Tianci''s expression turned grave. " The ming Mountain is near the central pce, where the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster is sealed. Although weakened, it''s not something you can contend against."


    " I would still rmend you to not visit Ancestor Huang. But¡­ I guess he should know about the truth of the outside world now." Hao Tianci sighed. " After all, I don''t think he has much lifespan remaining.


    Long Ming held the token as he nodded. However, toplete the quest of the system, he absolutely needs the help of Ancestor Huang. After all, perhaps he is the one who has the most power inside this realm, other than the monster itself.


    " Brother Long, I heard you epted the duel with Qin Chen?" Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming. " Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire is no joke. You must stay cautious."


    " Thank you for your concerns, Sister Ming." Long Ming smiled. " However, this confrontation can''t be avoided. After all, since he dared to threaten the Four Seasons Valley, he would find out the result."


    " Brother Long, I aming with you." Ming Yuexin spoke. " You definitely going to need my strength."


    " And me too." Luo Yingying walked forward. " I will help you decipher formations and runes."


    Long Ming looked at them. " The danger this time is too great. Are you sure you want toe with me?"


    " Oi, You are the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Mu Qinglian looked at him. " No matter what, we are going to follow you. The disciples of Four Seasons Valley just don''t abandon each other in the face of danger, ok?"


    Long Ming gave a warm smile as he looked at them. " Thank you, everyone, for believing me."


    " Alright, Girls! Just loot all the resources here and keep it safe and sound. Meanwhile, I shall go and kick some asses, ok?"


    " Yes! Senior brother!"


    Long Ming turned around and walked out. Soon, he along with Mu Qinglian, Ming Yuexin, and Luo Yingying, walked out from the Herbal Sanctuary.


    " The ce of the duel is near the central pce. So, we shall go there eventually." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    " Indeed. Let''s go now. The ming Mountain and central pce must be a hotpot now." Long Ming chuckled.


    The central pce had been an enigma zone inside the Azure Sun Sacred Realm. Even after thousands of years, none could get inside it.


    Some said there was an ancient Imperial Treasure sealed there. Some spected a treasury left behind by Empress Crimson Sky.


    The allure of Imperial Treasures, Longevity Pills, Techniques of the Heavenly Emperor or any other exotic items could make anyone bellow Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator salivate.


    However, no matter how many tried, they couldn''t enter the formation at all. It left even Formation Kings vexed, and made the rumors more solid.


    When Long Ming reached the center of the Core Zone, he could see a crimson mountain from far. The peak looked like it was covered with golden mes, soaring to the sky.


    Near the mountain, a giant ancient pce stood, with several sky soaring formation pirs creating an array formation to seal the entire ce.


    " That''s the ming Mountain, huh?" Mu Qinglian spoke. " I heard as long as you can endure the tremendous heat and climb further, you will get enlightened."


    " Your qi cultivation and body refinement would achieve a breakthrough. Also, if you manage to reach the peak, you might even get blessed with the Heavenly Emperor''s aura remnant." Ming Yuexin added.


    However, Long Ming was absent minded when he heard that. The moment he walked near the ming mountain, he felt like something ominous was gazing at him.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered as he looked at his surroundings. However, other than cultivators who were flocking toward the ancient pce or ming Mountain, he couldn''t see any suspicious figures.


    '' Strange. Why am I feeling like that?'' Long Ming mumbled.


    " Shall we visit the ming mountain?"


    " I don''t think so." Long Ming refused.


    Although there aren''t any strange mishaps happening, not many people know that such a monster is sealed under the mountain. So, Long Ming didn''t wish to go there.


    However, before they could move, they felt the ground trembling.


    " Wh-What''s that?"


    " Damn it! Is that Steel Bull? My god! It''s a hoard of them!"


    " Run! Run away!"


    It barely took any time before the situation got chaotic. Long Ming saw arge group of Steel Bull demonic beasts charging at them with incredible speed.


    However, what made them even more shocked was that from another direction, a giant flock of birds also came sweeping.


    " Fuck! Grey Back Sparrows!"


    " What a fucking day! We can''t even escape by flying now!"


    " Run! It''s a beast tide!"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming and others with concern. Long Ming nodded as he turned around. " Everyone, let''s move. We can''t fight with them alone."


    Soon, the group changed the direction and rushed away. Long Ming saw the direction was a bit far from ming Mountain, so he didn''t bother too much.


    After a while, he realized they entered a secluded forest. But thankfully, the Steel Horn Bulls didn''t chase them into the forest. As for Grey Back Sparrows, they won''t attack them easily in the forest either.


    However, Long Ming felt something was wrong. The forest was too quiet.


    ''Strange. Although many cultivators are escaping with us, I can barely see some cultivators in distance ''


    " Brother Long, look there!" Ming Yuexin pointed at the distance. They saw a small fountain oozing out bright sparkling water.


    " Could it be a Spirit Spring?"


    " Look at the color, I think it contains the Fire element." Luo Yingying spoke.


    " I can''t even see any guardian beasts around it. We shouldn''t miss such treasure." Ming Yuexin rubbed her palm.


    Long Ming also used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes. Yet, he couldn''t find a single danger at all.


    However, the situation was so abnormal that it was raising ten thousand red gs at once.


    Ming Yuexin practiced the Scorching Summer Divine Art. So, it was natural that she wanted to get some of that Spring Water.


    Seeing there was no danger, Ming Yuexin rushed forward, afraid that it would get snatched by someone else.


    However, Long Ming''s danger sense kicked in as he used his Rushing Lightning Steps and charged forward.


    "Ming Yuexin!!"


    s, it was toote. Several gray branches erupted from the ground and shot toward Ming Yuexin.


    Ming Yuexin tried to retaliate, yet the branches pierced her body and sucked her dry from blood and qi.


    Before Long Ming couldprehend anything, gray branches appeared around them and sealed them off.


    My Qinglian''s full power erupted, yet she eventually got stabbed by the branches.


    It didn''t take long before the corpses of Long Ming, Ming Yuexin, and My Qinglian got dragged into the ground.


    Luo Yingying, who was already injured yet alive, was also got devoured by the ground.

    The reality around Long Ming shattered as he fell to his knees. He took deep breaths, his back was drenched in cold sweat. Taking deep breaths, Long Ming tried to calm down his wildly thumping heart.


    " Long Ming?!"


    Mu Qinglian''s expression changed when she looked at Long Ming. Ming Yuexin, who was gazing at the spirit spring, she was also startled when she noticed Long Ming''s state.


    " Brother Long, Is there anything wrong? You are sweating too much!"


    *RUMBLE RUMBLE!*


    The sky turned dark as bright blue lightning crackled. The girls became stunned when they saw that.


    " Tribtion clouds? Why Tribtion Clouds summoned here?"


    Long Ming took deep breaths as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered. He just used the Temporal Fate Simtion Art and gazed into the future.


    But who would have thought peeking merely some moment into the future would drain him of spiritual qi?


    Yet, That was the least of Long Ming''s concerns now. What he was scared of was the future he just saw.


    The grey tree branches were undoubtedly the parts of the Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster. Long Ming never thought it wouldy such a trap like Spirit Spring out of nowhere.


    Not to mention, such a trap would be effective for an average Four Seasons Valley disciple. After all, they would rush to gather the Spirit Spring water.


    However, what made him feel strange was when he noticed the Tribtion Clouds. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could feel that the Tribtion Lightnings were gazing at him.


    '' Could it be¡­ Peeking into the future provoked the heavenly dao?'' Long Ming thought inwardly. After all, divination is something that can be called heaven defying.


    Long Ming swiftly activated the concealment of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique. As his presence got erased, the Tribtion Clouds rumbled a few more times before dissipating swiftly.


    " Brother Long¡­"


    '' Listen to what I am about to say.'' Long Ming smiled at them, but his voice transmission echoed in their hearts.


    '' There is a hidden danger here. We must back away slowly, or else it will get triggered. And, we will get killed in the blink of an eye.''


    '' Don''t behave abnormally. Just back away, slowly¡­''


    Luo Yingying, Ming Yuexin, and Mu Qinglian''s expressions changed drastically when they heard Long Ming''s grave voice.


    Talking to each other normally, they slowly backed away more and more. The moment Long Ming saw they were outside the area where the grey branch had erupted, lightning crackled around Long Ming as he shouted.


    " RUN!"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOOM*


    To everyone''s fear, several grey branches shot out from the ground like tentacles as they swung toward the fleeing group. However, they were already prepared.


    Long Ming''s Raging Storm Wings filled with the power of Lightning Qi from Rushing Lightning step. Thebination gave him an explosive speed.


    Holding Luo Yingying who doesn''t have much field experience, he turned into a bolt of lightning and flew straight away from those branches.


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian used both their agility techniques as they were already prepared for the worst. Without a second''s dy, all of them already flew out from the secluded forest.


    As the branches crossed a certain distance, Long Ming saw the sky filled with intricate runes held together like metal chains. The chains shot toward the grey branches.


    The grey branches seemed to sense the golden chains as they hurriedly retreated. A few branches got severed by the chains, yet most of the branches hid themselves in the grounds again.


    The golden chains swarmed around for a while before vanishing.


    " Was that the power of Emperor''s Aura?" Ming Yuexin muttered. " After all, thew of this realm was made by Heavenly Emperor Crimson Sky."


    Long Ming looked at the chains as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes could see the tremendous power behind them. It was so immense that it could even crush a Dao Refining Realm cultivator like an ant.


    Unfortunately, He couldn''t control such a power¡­At least not now. Long Ming realized that no matter how powerful the monster was, it was still afraid of the Four Directional Grand Sword Formation and the Imperial Law of Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    " Wh-What the hell was that?" Ming Yuexin was shocked. " What kind of monster was that?"


    " It was so scary! Such tremendous power! I don''t think we could have escaped." Luo Yingying shivered.


    Long Ming sat on the ground as he realized his spiritual qi was drained. He took out some expensive pills and popped them into his mouth. With his physique, he could absorb the medicinal energy without wasting a single bit.


    " Thank goodness I sensed the danger earlier." Long Ming sighed. " I guess this is the reason why the casualty rate of Four Seasons Valley disciples is higher than other disciples."


    " Damn it! The monster used the beast tide to make use into the forest. And luring near the Spirit Spring, it wanted to trap and kill us!" Mu Qinglian stomped her feet out of rage.


    However, even she knew how powerful those branches were. After all, it was the monster that ruined the ancient Four Seasons Valley, which was still in its heyday.


    Even if it''s weakened, there was no way they could stand before it without any external help.


    Long Ming fell into the thought when he remembered the scene. Even though all of them were killed, the branches didn''t kill Luo Yingying, but merely dragged him along with their dead bodies.


    '' What made Luo Yingying more special?'' Long Ming pondered. Luo Yingying didn''t have any special physique. But her forte was her powerful spiritual qi and soul, along with her talent as a Rune Master.


    " We shouldn''t stay here any longer." Long Ming spoke after a while. " It looks like the monster got a special ability to sense the disciples of Four Seasons Valley."


    " Therefore, we mustpletely conceal the aura of our techniques, our attire and disciple tokens, anything that could connect us with Four Seasons Valley."


    After all, it wasn''t like the monster knew the disciple list of Four Seasons Valley, right? Around the Core Zone, it must be relying on its senses to detect and kill the Four Seasons Valley disciples.


    So, As long as they can evade that sense, their chances of survival increase.


    " It was a good idea to leave the rest of us in the Herbal Sanctuary." Ming Yuexin sighed. " I hope Elder Hao Tianci keeps them safe."


    " There is no time to waste." Mu Qinglian turned around. " In a short period of time, we must increase our strength."


    " Besides, Long Ming, How about this?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming. " Qin Chen only said he would fight with the Four Seasons Valley. How about I rece your position?"


    " No matter what, he won''t be able to harm me."


    Long Ming became amused. " Are you worrying about me?"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming and nodded. " Yes, I am worried indeed. After all, Qin Chen is like a vicious snake. Given a chance, he will do his best to harm you."


    " Hmm, What do you think, Senior Sister?" Long Ming stepped forward and gazed into Mu Qinglian''s eyes. " Am I going to win? Or I am going to lose? I bet on winning, though."


    " I truly wish to lose this bet with you, Long Ming." Mu Qinglian didn''t back down as she replied, looking back at Long Ming.


    " Fine, Then I will make your wishe true." Long Ming''s smile was bright.


    " Ahem, Shouldn''t we move forward?" Ming Yuexin coughed lightly as she looked at them. Luo Yingying was also amused, seemingly forgetting the perilous situation happened some moments before.


    " Alright, Everyone. The next stop, we are going to meet Ancestor Huang, who was sealed inside the central pce." Long Ming crackled his fingers.


    " Hmm, the main door of the central pce should be crowded as usual. The other doors were also where many sect disciples must be trying to break the formations."


    " Well, I happen to know a good way." Long Ming pondered as he nodded. " Let''s go from northern gates.


    Soon, moving back to the central pce, Long Ming could see people rushing toward the testing site of ming Mountain.


    " Did you know? Ling Yuan of Six Sword Pavilion defeated the Shang Liu of Purple Cloud Sect in just ten moves."


    " Besides, First Prince Qin Zhong also managed to reach the ny ninth step of the ming Mountain. His Holy Qilin Hundred Fists seemed to evolve!"


    " I also heard the group led by the ancient Jiang Family is also stirring the ce. To think Jiang Wanxue would be so powerful!"


    " Hehe, Maybe Saintess Mu of Four Seasons Valley finally met her match."


    Long Ming and his group reached the northern gate of the central pce. There were fewer cultivators here. Rather than breaking the formation, they were trying to find some hidden valuables.


    " Let me scare them."


    Ming Yuexin pulled out her sword and her sword intent rose sharply.


    " Everyone, Please fuck off kindly."


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile, the humble schr put down his quil and smiled with notification. " I hope the fellow daoists would like this little trolling."


    However, the poor humble schr didn''t knew that his IP address was already traced and a bunch of armed people were approaching him with great speed.

 Chapter 156 Plan For The Monster

    <h4>Chapter 156 n For The Monster</h4>


    The sword intent erupted with a scorching heat, as it everyone''s bodies got stabbed with a burning sword. Ming Yuexin floated in the air, as the sword intent turned into an illusory burning sword stretching out from her body.


    The surrounding cultivators trembled as they felt the pressure from Ming Yuexin''s body. Her sword aura was enough to strike a fear in their hearts.


    " Damn it! Who is she? Is she from Six Sword Pavilion?"


    " No! She is with Saintess Mu! She is probably from Four Seasons Valley!!"


    " Damn it! Since when did a junior of Four Seasons Valley have such a tremendous Sword Intent?"


    Thanks to Long Ming''s help and the swordprehension from Bright Emperor''s Supreme Sword Art, Ming Yuexin''s talent for swords increased vastly.


    With her innate talent, she could be truly be a sword fairy without much effort.


    Even Mu Qinglian was surprised when she saw Ming Yuexin''s power. With her power of sword, she could be called unrivaled in the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    Soon, the cultivators scared away, and other Four Seasons Valley remained there. Luo Yingying walked forward as she took out her inscription pen.


    " Hmm, This is a very intricate formation. The rune formations are very advanced." Luo Yingying sighed. " No wonder no one breached the formation across the years."


    " Unless a Formation Emperor makes a move or someone blows the formation with a powerful treasure, it''s nigh impossible to break it." Luo Yingying looked at Long Ming.


    " Well, Fortunately, We have this."


    Long Ming took out the token given by Elder Hao and pressed it on the runic wall. Suddenly, the runic wall trembled as a small gap appeared. Long Ming grinned as he led everyone inside.


    The ancient pce was simr to the Four Seasons Grand Hall. Walking inside, everyone could feel an eerie feeling. After all, this ce has been abandoned for thousands of years.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes scanned every corner of the pce with extreme vignce.? After all, he already tasted the horror of those grey branches.


    '' I don''t think I should use my Temporal Fate Simtion Technique to gaze into the future too much. After all, knowing heavenly secrets will make me face even greater tribtion.'' Long Ming pondered.


    '' What a fucking heaven.''


    " Brother Long, There is a Ghost Illusion Formation deployed here. It''s probably to confuse our sense of direction." Luo Yingying suddenly stopped as she looked at everyone.


    " However, It''s not as good as the formation outside. I think I and Brother Long can easily walk through this."


    Long Ming nodded. " Yes, Everyone, just follow me. I have a rough estimate about the location of Ancestor Huang."


    Slowly, they walked through the corridors. The illusion was very vivid, the walls were actually the paths while the paths wereid with traps. However, In front of Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could easily see through the illusions.


    Reaching the hall in the middle, they could see various paintings hung on the wall. Those were the powerful elders and previous Sect Masters of Four Seasons Valley across the generations.


    Besides, there was also a beautiful portrait of Empress Winter Song and Empress Crimson Sky. Just looking at them, one could feel the power of their aura.


    The portrait of Empress Winter Song gave a chilling sensation like one is standing amidst the blizzard itself. And for Empress Crimson Sky, one could feel the raging me in the battlefield, making one boil with battle intent.


    Long Ming took out the token and poured spiritual qi inside it. The token shone faintly, as a strange ripple spread across the room.


    " Ancestor Huang!?" Long Ming called out. " Ancestor Huang, If you can hear us, Please answer."


    The others were a bit nervous when they heard Long Ming calling Ancestor Huang. The ripple of the token became stronger and stronger, and finally, a faint voice appeared.


    " Who? Who has trespassed the sacred pce?"


    Suddenly, mist gathered as an illusory figure appeared before everyone. With a thick white beard and a shriveled body, a thin old man stood before them, looking at them with deep eyes.


    Everyone felt the pressure in the room increasing as if a terrifying beast was gazing at them. Just by the gaze, everyone else other than Long Ming fell to their knees.


    Mu Qinglian was slightly better as with her physique, she resisted fiercely. But the sheer disparity in the cultivation realm made her humble real quickly.


    However, Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura was even more powerful than before as it absorbed the heavenly aura from Minor Physique Tribtion.


    His Deste Immortal Aura borrowed the dao of heaven and earth, making the pressure on Long Ming nonexistent.


    Long Ming''s expression was polite, yet he didn''t back down. The old man''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the token in his hand.


    " Hao Tianci woke up? Did he really give you this token?" Ancestor Huang asked in a faint voice.


    " Does that mean that damned monster has perished?"


    " Unfortunately, That''s not the case, Ancestor Huang." Long Ming bowed. After that, he narrated everything.


    Ancestor Huang gave a deep sigh as the pressure disappeared. " I thought that by weakening and sealing the monster, the next generation would gradually kill it. Who would have thought the prophecy of Empress Crimson Sky would turn true?"


    " What''s exactly the prophecy?" Long Ming couldn''t help but blurt out. " I have been hearing about that for some time. But what exactly she said before ascending?"


    " After bing the Heavenly Emperor, Empress Crimson Sky could easily see through the heavenly mysteries." Ancestor Huang spoke with a heavy voice.


    " She said after a thousand years of her ascension, the Four Seasons Valley shall meet with a devastating cmity. Something that could even end the linage of an ancient Imperial Sect like Four Seasons Valley."


    " She created the Azure Sun Realm precisely to counter that disaster. However, in the end, even her preparation could barely prevent the extinction of our sect."


    Long Ming and others were dumbfounded when they heard that. Heavenly Emperor Crimson Sky prepared everything she could. Imperial Treasures, powerful Array Formations, a sealed secret realm, and a group of powerful cultivators.


    Yet, in the end, The Four Seasons Valley suffered from the Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster first. Then again got crushed by the Sky Martial Tower. It was truly the fortune of Four Seasons Valley that made them stand till now.


    " So, there was no chance to avoid the cmity, huh?" Mu Qinglian smiled bitterly.


    " Such a familiar aura from you¡­" Ancestor Huang looked at Mu Qinglian. " Child, Are you practicing Thousand Heavens Raging Spring Art?"


    " This¡­ Yes, Ancestor Huang. I am indeed practicing Thousands Heavens Raging Spring Art."


    " Haha, I see. So, you can inherit the Blood Phoneix Scared Physique of Empress Crimson Sky." Ancestor Huang spoke with a faint smile. " I guess the heaven didn''t forsake the Four Seasons Valley yet."


    " Ancestor, Is there any chance to kill that monster?" Ming Yuexin asked in a curious voice. " I mean, you said it has been weakened severely, right?"


    " Well, It''s a bitplex." Ancestor Huang sighed. " I think Hao Tianci already told you the situation. Yes, The monster''s power isn''t a thousandth of what it used to be."


    " However, that strange shell that''s shielding his body, it''s the crux of the matter." Ancestor Huang clenched his fist. " Without that shell, I cane out from my seal and kill it using the formation. However, as long as that shield is on his body, we can''t harm it."


    " Damn it, Son of turtle!" Luo Yingying cursed. " Is there no way to take it out from its shell?"


    Ancestor Huang sighed. " Child, It''s useless. The monster is simply¡­otherworldly. Besides, the only way it can be enticed is enough energy of treasures and blood qi."


    Long Ming was startled when he heard that. " Well, Doesn''t that mean it wille out of the shell?"


    " I don''t think it''s that dumb." Ancestor Huang was surprised.


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes gleamed as he connected the dots. " Ancestor Huang, I want to share something with you. For the past few years, the monster has been luring and devouring, especially Four Seasons Valley''s disciples. Besides, It might have some interest toward those who have high quality spiritual qi or knowledge regarding rune formations."


    " This¡­ That bastard!" Ancestor Huang''s eyes narrowed as his tone became solemn.


    " I think it''s trying to break free from the seal. All the disciples of Four Seasons Valley got the Four Seasons Vital Qi merged in their blood. And such a familiar blood can be used to weaken the seal gradually."


    " I sealed myself here because there is an underground pce under this pce. That ce was the center of all Imperial Spirit Veins here, birthing various treasures."


    " However, the monster tried to capture that ce first, albeit it was pushed back. I remained here while merging in the guardian seal, protecting this ce from that monster."


    "If the formation of Central Pce breaks, the monster will get the opportunity to capture this ce once again. And with the energy of the Imperial Spirit Veins, he will regain his strength."


    " Hmmm¡­ Is that so?"


    Long Ming gathered the pieces of information in his brain as he tried to formte a n.


    " Huh?" Ancestor Huang was startled as he focused his sense somewhere else."


    "Someone brought several Earth Grade Formation Breaking Orbs. Hehe, I don''t think they can break this formation with that thing."


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed.


    " Or maybe, they can?"

 Chapter 157 Kick N Run

    <h4>Chapter 157 Kick N Run</h4>


    With Ancestor Huang''s sense and the formations of the central pce, he could naturally know what''s happening in the peripheral area.


    With a wave of his hand, he projected a screen. Long Ming''s eyes narrowed when he saw it was none other than the group led by Qin Zhong.


    " I see¡­ Their confidence isn''t unfounded." Luo Yingying suddenly spoke. " I think they picked that spot because it was the ce of the array formation which had been weakened due to countless attempts of breaching."


    " So, As long as they could find the correct rune diagram and break it, I think they might be able to create a small hole in the formation."


    " However, that''s only possible if Ancestor Huang doesn''t use the power of formation and repair it immediately."


    " Ancestor Huang, How about you do the opposite?" Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Long Ming''s lips.


    " Please, Hear my n¡­"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Soon, the time passed as more and more people gathered around the ming Mountain and Central Pce. Although most of them knew that Central Pce was nothing more than a sealed tourist attraction, there were a fair share of people trying to get into it every year.


    After all, this ce remained untouched even after thousands of years. Therefore, the treasures inside the central pce must be more than abundant.


    If one can even get a small pile, they won''t need to worry for the rest of their lives.


    However, there were more people gathered near the fighting arena.


    The arena used to be the dueling ground for the disciples of Four Seasons Valley. However, now, it''s used to show off the strength of the younger generation.


    Well, the interference during the fight between the younger generation of powerful sects and ns is very low. After all, each of their group was apanied by a protector of the Harmonization Realm.


    Even with sealed strength, a Harmonization Realm cultivator can deal with normal Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivators.


    " Damn, Purple Cloud Sect won again! Their disciples are so powerful."


    " Hehe, Six Sword Pavilion isn''t that far off either."


    " I heard Zhongye Sect and Green Cloud Mountain are trying to find the disciples of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " But I can''t seem to find them though?''


    " Heh, those weaklings. They must be hiding in Inner Zone or Outer Zone."


    " But I heard they epted the challenge of Fourth Prince Qin Chen. Do you think they are going to appear here?"


    " Doubt."


    After the match finished, Qin Chen swung his robes and jumped into the arena.


    " Cowards of Four Seasons Valley! Since you have killed myrades, ept your punishment!"


    Qin Chen''s voice echoed throughout the area as he stood on the stage with imposing might.


    " Since you have epted the challenge, appear before me right now!"


    Qin Chen''s voice was enough to attract everyone''s attention. Holy Qilin Empire could be called one of the current leading powerhouses in Eastern Province.


    And since Four Seasons Valley had offended him, everyone was eager to see the results.


    However, since it was the third day, another hot topic was naturally Prince Qin Zhong who gathered before the main gate of Central Pce.


    "Prince Qin Zhong is looking pretty confident. Can he break the formation of the Central Pce?"


    " I don''t think so. Many people in the past tried to break the formation. Yet, I don''t think they managed to break the formation."


    " But I heard Prince Qin Zhong hired a Formation King?"


    " Let''s see¡­"


    Qin Zhong looked at an Elder standing beside him. " Elder Ching, I have brought all the treasures you asked for."


    Elder Ching rubbed his beard as he took out a small chart. On the chart, various rune formations moving in a circle.


    "Earth grade Formation Breaking Orbs are very hard to find. Yet you managed to get five of them."


    " Don''t worry, Prince Qin Zhong. With my Spirit Dissolving Chart and the Formation Breaking Orbs, I can at least create a small passageway if not able to break the formation."


    Elder Ching poured his Spiritual Qi into the chart, making the runese alive. Jumping and slithering around like runic snakes, they appeared in the air and charged at entrance of Central Pce.


    A pale silver barrier appeared before the runic snakes, making them bounce back. The silver barrier was none other than the protective array formation of the Central Pce.


    The group of Qin Zhong already ced the five Formation Breaking Orbs in five ces.


    " Just a bit more¡­Prince Qin, It will only take a bit of time."


    Meanwhile, Qin Chen and others were being impatient as disciples of Four Seasons Valley didn''t show up at all.


    " Could it be¡­They are too scared toe?"


    " Four Seasons Valley disciples are a bunch of spineless cowards!"


    Qin Chen was on a gloomy mood when he saw that. It would be much more difficult to go to the Four Seasons Valley directly and ask for an exnation.


    Besides, his main goal was still the Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art.


    If My Qinglian doesn''te, he have to resort to extreme measures.


    However, his eyes brightened when he saw Long Ming slowly descend from the sky.


    With fluttering white robe, his expression was serene, like an immortal without a single speck of dust.


    On both sides, Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexinnded, making the trio look more stunning andplete.


    Long Ming looked like a king apanied by two fairies.


    The male cultivators bes jealous as their face turned green with envy. M


    Meanwhile, the girls were already mesmerized by Long Ming''s looks and aura.


    " Oh my! He is looking so handsome!"


    " My heartbeat increased the moment I saw him"


    " Such a masculine body yet such smooth skin."


    Qin Chen was also feeling envious, but he suppressed the feelings and looked at them.


    " Heh, I thought you weren''ting. I guess the disciples of Four Seasons Valley still have some guts"


    Long Ming fanned his Plum Blossom paper fan as he looked at Qin Chen.


    " Well, only thieves and robberse early to loot valuable things, Prince Qin."


    " Brat, Not respecting the prince of Holy Qilin Empire, you are forgetting your ce!"


    An old man standing behind Qin Chen snorted as his eyes turned cold.


    Long Ming checked his cultivation with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    '' A high stage Harmonization Realm bodyguard. But I think his age must be past a five hundred year old.''


    A Harmonization Realm Cultivator can live till a thousand years. But that''s only possible if they live without any danger.


    After all, how many cultivators are there who never used their life force and burned their true blood while fighting against their enemies? And those who managed to recover it even more rare.


    So looking at the old man, Long Ming judged that his talent was even worse than Lin Xie and Chen Yin.


    However, a Harmonization Realm cultivator is powerful indeed. But Long Ming didn''t care about him.


    The old man was surprised when he saw Long Ming didn''t even flinch when he used his spritual qi to pressurized him.


    What''s more, he looked like a being who is connected with the world itself.


    Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura gave him an ethereal and powerful aura.


    " I guess Prince Qin Chen is toozy to reveal his *powerful abilities*. So, he is making his servant do instead." Long Ming spoke with a sarcastic voice.


    " Yo-You!!" Qin Chen gnashed his teeth when he heard Long Ming''s mocking.


    " Your tongue is sharp, Brat. But I wonder if you are only filled with empty talks and nothing else?"


    " Hmph! Qin Chen, If you want to fight, fight with me¡­"


    Mu Qinglian looked at Qin Chen, speaking with a dominating voice.


    But Long Ming stopped her. " It''s alright, Sister Mu. I can handle it."


    Saying that, Long Ming hopped on the stage, walking leisurely towards Qin Chen.


    " Hmph! Brat, I will make you regret offending the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire!"


    Qin Chen took a step forward as his body slowly covered with scales. His nails became sharp and his eyes lit with with small sparks.


    " Azure Royal Qilin Energy! Qin Chen activated his bloodline!"


    " So he is really serious about this fight, huh?"


    " Look, he even pulled out his weapon!"


    Qin Chen held a long sword which also covered with thin blue scales.


    " Pull out your weapon! I won''t feel good if I don''t crush you thoroughly."


    " Still trash talking?" Long Ming kept fanning himself gracefully. " Attack me already."


    " Hmph? As you wish!"


    Seeing Long Ming''s nonchnt attitude, Qin Chen became both enraged and happy.


    Enraged because Long Ming wasn''t treating him seriously. And happy, Because he felt he could easily crush Long Ming''s arrogance.


    '' He probably never thought I am using a Royal grade sword. Beside, my Great Qilin Sword Technique already reached the peak of Perfection stage.''


    " Qilin me sh!"


    Qin Chen''s body moved as his sword turned into a fiery w of a Qilin.


    The w zes with burning sword qi, trying to grasp Long Ming.


    Yet the moment it caught Long Ming, Long Ming''s figure disappeared like a mirage.


    " Such a slow attack. It''s Qilin''s w or Turtle ''s p?" Long Ming chuckled.


    " Bastard! Taste this!"


    Qin Chen snorted and his sword morphed into a qilin. Several ming ws appeared as the sword qi covered the entire arena.


    " Let''s see how you can dodge this!"


    Long Ming took a deep breath as his Plum Blossom fan snapped open.


    Twisting his body, he waved the fan with great force.


    "Plum Blossoms Wind storm!"


    The Fragrant Yin Qin burst into a torrent of plum blossom petals as it covered the ming ws.


    " Such a graceful technique!"


    " The blooming plum blossoms looks so amazing "


    The plum blossom torrent repeled the burning ws.


    " Second form! Qilin-"


    Before Qin Chen could make his second move, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he looked at the entrance of Central Pce.


    " Alright, It''s about to begin!"


    Suddenly, Lightning crackled around his body as he activated Rushing Lightning Steps and Raging Storm Wings simultaneously.


    Along with that, he also used his Great Mystic Mountain Body, making his weight increase like an ancient great mountain.


    Qin Chen''s eyes turned wide when he saw Long Ming disappearing from his position and appearing right next to him.


    " Take this!"


    Tremendous speed merged with a mountain like weight, covered in Lightning qi.


    Qin Chen felt his internal organ turning into mush when Long Ming kicked his chest viciously.


    *Pfft!*


    Coughing a mouthful of blood, Qin Chen got blew back like a canon ball.


    However, a blue colored scale armor lit up on his body, making him evade death.


    At that moment, the Central Pce shone with blinding radiance.


    " The Central Pce is open!"


    Long Ming didn''t attacked Qin Chen anymore. But he jumped off from the stage and escaped toward the central pce.


    " ???"


    " What?"


    " The hell happened??"

 Chapter 158 Luring The Enemies

    <h4>Chapter 158 Luring The Enemies</h4>


    The crowd was simply stunned by two events happening at once. The first was the powerful kick that almost folded Qin Chen like a book and caved his body inwardly.


    The second event was the blinding radiance of Central Pce and its barrier vanishing.


    " Bastard!...KHAGHH!"


    Qin Chen vomited another mouthful of blood as he looked his own body. He was wearing a top tier Mystic grade armor. However, it was almost cracked to pieces.


    Unlike weapons, higher grade defensive treasures are hard to find. The Mystic grade armor of Qin Chen was something he took from the treasury of the Imperial Family.


    However, he never thought Long Ming would crush the entire armor with just his kick.


    His servant hurried and poured a bottle of golden fluid on his body. The old man also popped a blue colored shiny pill into his mouth.


    The wounds on Qin Chen''s body slowly disappeared as his injuries healed at a rapid speed. When he got up, he saw most people were already rushing toward the Central Pce.


    " This¡­"


    Qin Chen saw he was lying outside the arena, marking his defeat. Four Seasons Valley disciples already left, leaving his group alone.


    The central pce''s protective array formation finally got broken. Even the weakest rouge cultivators are trying their best to get into the pce and score some treasures.


    " I¡­ I got defeated?" Qin Chen was shocked, his body trembled with anger and humiliation.


    " No, You aren''t, Young Master." The old man spoke hurriedly. " It''s just you are affected by the sneak attack of that bastard. Besides, you didn''t use any of your powerful trump cards."


    Qin Chen''s heart calmed down when he heard the old man.


    " Damn it! To think Central Pce''s formation would vanish. We should also hurry up."


    His eyes shed with a cold light. " If I meet that bastard there, I will rip his body to shreds."


    " And Mu Qinglian and that other girl¡­ Heh, I will show them what a real man feels like."


    Meanwhile, Qin Zhong and Elder Ching were shocked by the development of the situation.


    '' Have I be this proficient in array formation arts? I actually broke an ancient imperial formation?'' Elder Ching screamed in his heart.


    " Errr, Elder Ching, didn''t you say it would only create a small hole?" Qin Zhong''s face was dark.


    If the passageway was small, Qin Zhong and his protector would have entered the pce while letting his subordinates guard the entrance. In that way, he could have monopolized all the treasures.


    However, since the entire protective formation was gone now, anyone could enter the pce through any four gates.


    He realized that the situation was going to fill with blood and chaos.


    " Well, That''s what I thought." Elder Ching smiled bitterly. " But I guess it started a chain reaction and made the entire formation copse."


    " Damn it! We need to hurry!" The protector of Qin Zhong spoke as he looked at Qin Zhong.


    " Agreed! We must enter first. Before anyone takes the treasure, we must get them!"


    .


    .


    .


    " Brother Long, You are truly the greatest actor I have seen." Ming Yuexin sighed as she rushed with Long Ming and Mu Qinglian.


    " What acting? I defeated Qin Chen fair and square." Long Ming snorted lightly. " I hope all of you remember the n."


    " Isn''t it a bit risky?" Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but raise her concerns.


    " Fortune favors the brave, My dear senior sister." Long Ming grinned. "Besides, Imagine if we could solve this problem, Elder Hao and Ancestor Huang could return to our Four Seasons Valley."


    " The strength of Four Seasons Valley shall increase tremendously. After that, no one would dare to bully us. Even Holy Qilin Empire would give us a wide pass."


    Not only Long Ming, but almost all the cultivators were flocking inside. After all, who would miss such a chance?"


    Qin Zhong''s group didn''t try to stop them. They focused on getting the treasures first.


    However, when the cultivators entered the pce, their surroundings were covered with a thick smoke.


    " This¡­ What the hell is this?"


    " Damn it! My divine sense can''t pierce through this mist!"


    " Are we trapped in an illusion formation?"


    Those who had some knowledge regarding formations tried to find the exit. Soon, someone shouted.


    " There! It seems there is a path leading to underground!"


    " Where?! Where is it?"


    Some managed to find a faint door that was leading to underground. Qin Zhong and his group entered first.


    Zhongye Sect, Green Cloud Mountain, Violet Cloud Sect, Six Sword Pavilion, and other aristocratic ns were trying to get into the underground door.


    " Wait! Is that¡­ An Energy Jade?!"


    " Look! A fifty thousand year old Darkworm Grass!"


    " That Spirit Flower is mine! I saw it first!"


    " So, what! I touched it first!"


    The underground pce was specious and one could see various passageways before them, like a nest of ants.


    Cultivators prayed to their luck and started to hunt for treasures. Some of them soon started to find some nice trinkets.


    However, it also caused numerous fights. Blood sshed over the treasures as thepetition grew fiercer.


    " Haah! Haha! This is mine! This medicinal herb is mine!"


    A cultivator kicked the corpse in front of him as he held a dimly lit medicinal herb. However, he suddenly heard some rustles, making him startle.


    " Who! Who is it?!"


    The rustling noise increased as the cultivator pulled out his sword. He saw great dots of light lit up in the distance.


    With a light growling noise, he saw tree stumps of the height of two feet walking on their roots anding at them.


    " Hah! Tree Yaos?" The cultivators sneered. " These halflings, what can you do?"


    He waved his sword to attack. But he was horrified when he realized his feet were stuck by roots, making him unable to move.


    The treants roared as their arms turned into sharp nails made from wood. Jumping on the cultivator''s body, they stabbed him, killing them with brutality.


    The blood was absorbed by the roots, leaving only a shriveled corpse of the cultivator behind.


    Simr events happened in all the tunnels, turning into chaos. The cultivators realized the strength of each treant varied from True Core Formation Realm to Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    Those who are powerful used various mystical arts and powerful treasures to obliterate the treants.


    " Damn it! Everyone! Gather around and kill these bastards!"


    " Look! They are running! They must be guarding some treasures!"


    " Chase after them."


    Long Ming''s eyes were cold as he killed the treants. " Damn it, So these things are the spawns of that monster, huh? Albeit weak, they are simply overwhelming in numbers."


    Ming Yuexin''s zing sword burnt the trans to crisps. " But I guess they are still made up of wood after all."


    " They are absorbing blood and vitality of other cultivators." Mu Qinglian bit her lips. " It feels a bit wrong¡­to use other cultivators as sacrifices."


    " Those who came to hunt for treasures, they silently agreed to take the risks." Long Ming''s tone was calm, yet traced with coldness. " So many people die in the hands of demonic beasts. So, a few more will die here. What''s the issue?"


    " Senior Sister, look at the bigger picture."


    Mu Qinglian remained silent as she nodded. " It''s alright. If everything goes ording to the n, the damage will be minimal."


    Suddenly, Long Ming and his group paused when they saw another group.


    Bright eyes and a veil on her face, a beauty surrounded by many cultivators, guarding her with all their might. However, the bloodied sword on her hand waspletely giving a different vibe.


    " Ah, Isn''t this Miss Jiang Wanxue?" Long Ming chuckled, there was no fear in his eyes.


    Jiang Wanxue furrowed her brows gently when she looked at Long Ming. She was also there when Long Ming used his power to crush Qin Chen.


    " Young Master Long is truly a dragon beneath the pool. All your abilities are well hidden." Jiang Wanxue remarked.


    The atmosphere was tense. Ming Yuexin didn''t like the look in Jiang Wanxue''s eyes at all. However, Mu Qinglian was moreposed when she talked with Jiang Wanxue.


    " Miss Wanxue, How about we simply drop the matter and just go on our way?"


    Jiang Wanxue smiled. " As expected of you, Saintess Mu. I truly wish to bring you to my Azure Phoenix Group. I hope you can make up your mind."


    " Unfortunately, Miss Jiang, my answer is the same as before." Mu Qinglian smiled lightly. " I am Saintess of Four Seasons Valley, that''s all."


    " s¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue nodded as she turned around. Liu Ye looked at Long Ming with a venomous gaze. But when Long Ming casually started to toss around his recording jade, his legs trembled as he escaped.


    However, before Jiang Wanxue could leave, the cave trembled violently. Another wave ofrger treants appeared, attacking both groups. Each treant was as powerful as a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.


    However, that wasn''t the issue.


    With Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see several dark figures hidden among the treants. And their target was none other than Jiang Wanxue.


    " Well, Who cares?"


    Long Ming chuckled as he dealt with the monsters on his own. ording to the n, Qin Zhong and some selected others should have reached the core ce by now.


    [ Ding! Host defeated Qin Chen! Host received Comprehension of Ancient Word: Seal]


    Long Ming was ted when he got that.


    However, a new mission popped out.


    [ Ding! New Quest arrived! Protect Jiang Wanxue!]

 Chapter 159 Bed Warming Maid?

    <h4>Chapter 159 Bed Warming Maid?</h4>


    Long Ming frowned instinctively when he saw the title of the quest. As he already guessed the true identity of Jiang Wanxue, he didn''t wish to bother with her life-and-death crisis.


    Besides, even if the entire Holy Qilin Empire were to perish, it would only benefit the Four Seasons Valley.


    However, this quest is forcing him to save her? Long Ming looked at the quest detail with a serious face. But his face turned strange when he saw the full content of the quest.


    [ A beautifuldy yet an arrogant heart. Show her the path of the emperor is truly merciless]


    [ Quest: Save Jiang Wanxue and make her your bed warming maid]


    [ Reward: Seven Yin Lock Talisman ( peak White Silver grade]


    [ Failure: Unable to have sex for 1 year]


    [ Host can choose not to take this mission]


    Long Ming looked at the reward and pondered. The reward and the mission were pretty lucrative. It''s just that the penalty is somewhat awkward for him.


    '' Jiang Wanxue, the princess of Holy Qilin Empire as bed warming maid? Hmm¡­'' Long Ming leaned on the wall as he pondered.


    " Brother Long! Why are you spacing out?!"


    Ming Yuexin''s voice woke Long Ming from the stupor. Mu Qinglian''s sword shone with an icy radiance as several icy sword sharps stabbed the rushing treants, killing them thoroughly.


    However, the situation of Jiang Wanxue''s team wasn''t good. Not only they were fighting against the rushing treants, but they were also dealing with the assassins.


    " Bastards! You think you can ambush our youngdy?!"


    An old man snorted as he pulled out his saber. With a sharp radiance, it turned into several arcs of red light, chopping down the treants and the assassins.


    " Hmph! Old Mo, even if you are a High stage Harmonization Realm cultivator, you are nothing more than a weakling here." One of the assassins snorted as several flying knives appeared in his hands/


    The moment he threw them, the daggers turned into darts of dark ray, charging toward the guards of Jiang Wanxue.


    " Insolence!"


    Jiang Wanxue snorted as she took out a purple orb. Violet lightning crackled around the orb as it turned into a lightning storm. The arcs of lightning deflected the flying daggers and incinerated the nearby treants.


    Now, only her group of ten stood against a group of dozen ck masked men.


    " Since you dare toe here, I will make sure to give you a proper burial." Jiang Wanxue''s tone was cold as she raised the purple orb.


    " Hmph! Purple Lightning Bead? It seems like you really have a lot of good stuff." The leader of the assassins snorted. " But don''t think we are greenhorns either."


    " Go!"


    " Kill those bastards!"


    " Protect the youngdy!"


    Liu Ye was your usual coward. He stayed near Jiang Wanxue and tried to fight against those who looked weaker. Then, there are two young men who were proficient in sword arts. Long Ming deduced that they must be the Core Disciples of the Six Sword Pavilion.


    Long Ming shook his head when he saw the fight. He felt Jiang Wanxue probably hiding some trump cards. Besides, the line up of her team wasn''t bad at all. So it would be difficult for the assassins to kill her.


    " Sister Mu, There is nothing to see here." Long Ming turned around, deciding to abandon the quest.


    Mu Qinglian and MIng Yuexin looked at each other, understanding Long Ming''s neutral stance.


    However, as they were turned to leave, Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he saw another group of ck masked men standing before them.


    " Fellow brothers, Why block the way of unrted people?" Long Ming spoke with a cold voice. " Let''s pretend not to see each other and just focus on our own business, okay?"


    The men wearing ck masks were startled when Long Ming pointed them out. After all, they were pretty confident in their ability to remain concealed in darkness.


    " Kekeke, Brat, It looks like you got sharp eyes, huh?"


    "Since you have noticed us, there is no need to go back alive."


    " Tch, look at them. There are even two beauties for us."


    Long Ming rubbed his face in vexation when he heard that. Judging from their look, they were all High stage and Peak stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivators.


    However, since they were assassins, Long Ming spected that they must have higher attacking power and low defensive power.


    After all, the best assassin is the one who can kill someone much more powerful than them and escape in one piece.


    " Alright, I understand." Long Ming nodded with a calm face then activated his Great Mystic Mountain Physique and walked toward them.


    Each of his steps created a tremor in the ground, like the shockwaves of an earthquake.


    The mystical mountain surrounded him, giving him the aura of an immovable divine mountain, oppressing everyone under the mountain.


    Even Jiang Wanxue and others who were fighting got distracted by the power of Long Ming''s Minor Completion physique.


    " Hmph! Bastard! Courting Death!"


    " Kill him!"


    The assassins felt a surge of fear in their hearts. Yet seeing Long Ming with a nonchnt and calm attitude, they felt he must be bluffing.


    After all, a young man like him having a Minor Completion Imperial Physique at such a young age? He would have been turned into a renowned figure.


    Long Ming only raised his hand as the Water qi surged inside him. He was precisely controlling the mountain like weight of his physique, else he would have shattered the ground already.


    Seven assassins changed at him, wielding swords, sabers, and other short weapons. Yet, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes only shed with a deep azure light and he finally made a move.


    " Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist! Wave Flipping Palm!"


    Everyone felt a tremor throughout the ground and air as they felt a surge of water flowing through the tunnel.


    Long Ming''s palm turned into a gigantic wave of water, falling down like a tsunami wave. The weight of the water was increased by multiple folds thanks to Long Ming''s imperial physique.


    " Damn it! Attack!"


    " Killing sword sh!"


    " Die!"


    However, Long Ming''s water was like flood water clearing everything before it. The assassins got crushed like bugs as their body almost turned into meat pastes. All their attacks got nullified instantly.


    But Long Ming retracted his power at the veryst moment, leaving the assassins alive.


    " Tch, Poor people. Only if they understood thenguage of my kindness." Long Ming put a pitying expression and then looked at Ming Yuexin.


    " Sister Ming, please. I can''t see their suffering."


    " Ah¡­ Yes¡­"


    Ming Yuexin suddenly understood as she flicked her fingers. Sharp burning sword qi erupted, killing the assassins and turning them into ashes


    Long Ming can''t kill people due to his Chaotic Murder Heart. But, it didn''t stop him from using the loophole and asking someone else to kill his enemies.


    Long Ming turned around and looked at the two groups fighting each other. " Oh, don''t mind us, we are just passing by."


    " Please, continue."


    " Hmph!"


    Jiang Wanxue was the one who recovered first. Using this opportunity, she clenched the Purple Thunder Bead as several arms of lightning appeared around her, charging toward the assassin leader.


    " Hmph! Don''t think only you have a Noble grade treasure!" The assassin leader snorted as he popped a pill into his mouth. Not only him, but all the assassins did the same.


    A blood color aura erupted from their bodies, making them look fierce like aggressive demonic beasts.


    " Blood Boosting Forbidden Pills?" The old man standing near Jiang Wanxue spoke in surprise. " These motherfuckers! They are going too far!"


    "?Unrestrained Earth Sword!" The old man''s aura of Early stage Harmonization Realm erupted as he swung his sword.


    The sword qi turned tangible due to his cultivation. Although the old man didn''tprehended Sword Intent, his sword qi was still powerful than an average Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.


    " Killing Array Formation! Defend!"


    The assasins swiftly changed their position as the collective crimson qi turned into a shape of a beast, stopping the attack of that old man. Jiang Wanxue took the chance as she pulled out two talismans and shot at them.


    " Infernal me Talisman!"


    The lightning arms and the talismans bursted into a domain of raging me covered with lightning. However, with the agility of the assassins, most of them managed to evade it.


    Jiang Wanxue was about to use another of her treasures. But then, a green gas exploded beside him, covering her and her followers.


    " Yu Zian! Yo-You traitor!" Liu Ye shouted in anger. The others also looked at the young man named Yu Zian who opened a box full of dark green smoke.


    " Hehe! My work is done here. Now, I am leaving-"


    Yu Zian gave a nefariousughter as he took out a Minor Teleportation Charm. However, before he could teleport, Jiang Wanxue''s arm was covered with a golden brilliance as it shot toward Yu Zian.


    With Purple Lightning Bead''s power covering her body, her hand pieced the chest of Yu Zian, crushing his heart.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming was observing the situation from far, pondering if he should ept the mission or not.


    '' A princess serving as bed warming maid? Interesting''


    [ Ding! All the Constetion approves the signature move of Great Crow of Dark Mysteries]

 Chapter 160 Jiang Wanxue Agrees

    <h4>Chapter 160 Jiang Wanxue Agrees</h4>


    Yu Zian was horrified when he realized he couldn''t dodge the attack. He had already distanced himself since he knew Jiang Wanxue and her protector could kill him.


    But to think Jiang Wanxue would move this past and crush his armor while he was trying to teleport? Yu Zian understood that he fucked up.


    Purple lightning red as Yu Zian screamed in agony. Jiang Wanxue already felt her true qi was dissipating, Yet her determination to kill Yu Zian remained the same.


    Using her utmost power, she killed him in a few breaths of time. Unfortunately, she and her team already absorbed the green toxic gas.


    " Heh, You are truly admirable, Jian Wanxue." The assassin leaderughed viciously. " But this is Energy Disspitating Poison. I don''t think you can escape now."


    " Don''t worry, me and my brothers shall enjoy your body thoroughly."


    " KHEUKHH! Young Lady¡­Run!"


    The old man''s body glittered with pale armor as his blood qi soared. Evidently, he was overdrafting the energy from his body and blood.


    Jiang Wanxue never thought there would be a traitor in her group. And since her true qi was leaving her body, she couldn''t use her other powerful treasures.


    " Hmph! Don''t you think you have won?" Jiang Wanxue gritted her teeth as she took out a seal The seal erupted with a strange power as several threads of white light shot out from it.


    Before the assassins could react, they diced into pieces as the ground washed with a pool of blood.


    " Haah! Haa!"


    Jiang Wanxie fell to her knees as her whole body was trembling. The old protector also took heavy injuries and used some healing pills. Yet, the poison on their bodies simply made the situation worse.


    " Marvelous. To think you still had such a treasure. I guess I made the right choice to hold back a bit."


    Jiang Wanxue''s eyes narrowed when he saw two extra people pop out out of nowhere.


    And their strength, both of them were at the Low stage of the Harmonization Realm. The old guard beside Jiang Wanxue became vignt as he raised his sword and pointed at the assassins.


    Yet, only could see his trembling body and exhausted eyes. He was clearly doing his best to fight against the poison.


    " Tch, Who would have thought you are carrying a fragment of Ancient Lord Seal? It can activate without?any true qi after all."


    " But I doubt you have more of that, right?"


    One of the assassins pulled out his sword and a pale green aura shed around it.


    " Hmph, Even if I die, I will take down both of you." Jiang Wanxue could feel the weakness overwhelming her. Yet, Her eyes remained determined.


    " Go and kill them all. We must not allow her to y any more tricks."


    " Yes."


    '' Young Lady! Go!"


    The old guard''s eyes turned red as he shed his sword. At this point, he was burning his life force to get strength from his body. However, the assassin who was in his prime condition, easily dodged the attack.


    Jiang Wanxue didn''t hesitate as she turned around. Pasting a dark colored talisman on her body, she rushed to leave. Only a few of herpanions were alive now, and all of them were fleeing.


    '' Lady Jiang! You can''t escape!"


    The second assassinughed loudly as he leisurely chased after her.


    '' I need to escape! I can''t die here¡­'' Jiang Wanxue felt her eyelids were turning heavy. But biting her lips, she persisted.


    '' It''s really saddening to see you in such a condition, Young Lady Jiang.''


    A voice startled Jiang Wanxue as she recognized him. She thought after killing the assassins blocking, Long Ming and the other two of Four Seasons Valley left.


    '' Help me! Save me and I will agree to any of your requests!''


    Jiang Wanxue didn''t waste any time as she spoke first. At this moment, she chose not to bargain and sought immediate effect.


    Suddenly, the assassin''s face twitched when he felt an overwhelming pressure falling on his body.


    " Yo-You!!"


    The assassin was shocked when he realized a young man wearing a mask swiftly appeared beside him without any notice. Quickly drawing his sword, the assassin twisted his body and attacked.


    " Green Venom Three shes!"


    The green aura seemed to erode the air itself as it attacked the masked young man. However, the image of a mystic mountain appeared around the young man as his arm shot out like an agile serpent.


    *CRACKK!*


    The speed of the young man was simply unparalleled. His arm was covered with silky threads of plum blossom colors as a refreshing fragrance spread out.


    The arm easily charged within the gaps of Green Venom Three shes andnded on the dantian of the assassin. The assassin coughed a mouthful of blood as his eyes almost rolled inwardly.


    The attack wasn''t that shy outwardly. However, the assassin howled in pain as the sword fell from his hands.


    " My-My divine sea! MY DIVINE SEA! KHAUKK!"


    Blood seeped out from all the orifices of the assassin as he rolled on the ground with pain.


    " Hmm, Silkwave Demonic Yin Palm is worthy of being a Noble grade technique." Long Ming chuckled as he looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    Although her face was covered with sweat, her expression was still calm. However, Long Ming could feel her lightly trembling body.


    " Thank you for saving me, Young Master." Jiang Wanxue bowed as she looked at Long Ming. " In future, I shall¡­MNNNFFF!!~"


    Before she couldplete her sentence, Jiang Wanxue got pressed against the wall. With a gasp, she felt her lips getting sealed, as Long Ming kissed her fiercely. She struggled desperately, yet the young man before her was like a giant mountain whom she couldn''t move at all.


    Not to mention, the poison in her body blocked the true qi, and she couldn''t muster her strength at all, falling to the mercy of Long Ming.


    " Mnnhh¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue felt despite being forced, Long Ming''s tongue was pretty gentle. With the pleasure of having the first kiss taken so forcefully, Jiang Wanxue felt a mix of emotions.


    Their lips parted as Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming gaze filled with anger and hatred. Yet, she didn''t utter a single word against Long Ming.


    " There is still one assassin."


    " Ah, You mean him?"


    Long Ming held Jiang Wanxue as he returned to spot where another assassin and the old guard were fighting.


    " Haah! Haa! Young Lady¡­ You are alright?"


    The old guard was lying against the wall as he tightly held his wounds. In front of him, the dead body of the assassin was lying.


    " How¡­How did you kill him?"


    Jiang Wanxue was utterly surprised. She was sure that the old guard would either perish or be unable to hold back that assassin for much longer.


    " Haah¡­ When I was fighting, an arrow hit the assassin at the crucial moment, giving me the chance to kill it." The old guard panted as he looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    " I am sorry, Young Lady. I couldn''t help you much in Azure Sun Secret Realm."


    Jiang Wanxue took out a pill and fed the old guard. " This is Flesh Rejuvenation Pill. Although the effect is slow, it will heal your woundpletely."


    " For now, just hide somewhere and recover. I shall¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming who stood wearing a mask with a grimace. " I shall go alone."


    " But¡­ The poison¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue took out another pill and ate it. " This is Thousand Detoxification Pill. With this, I will recover my true qi in a while."


    " Then old servant is relieved." The old man stood up and bowed. Looking at Long Ming, he sighed. " Benefactor, I shall leave the youngdy in your hands then."


    Long Ming: "????"


    What is this situation? Am I not the rouge hooligan who is supposed to take advantage of you? Why are you leaving her in my hands?


    Long Ming looked at Jiang Wanxue as his tone became firm. " Miss Jiang, I hope you don''t take this kindness for granted."


    " I am aware, Young Master Long." Jiang Wanxue sat cross legged as she slowly detoxified herself. " I have already finished my mission of obtaining Thousand Year old Jade Honey. So, I guess I can return without any regret."


    " But since you have saved me, Tell me, What do you want?"


    " Be my bed warming maid." Long Ming spoke with a calm tone.


    Jiang Wanxue paused abruptly as her facial expression twitched. " Saying such things while having such a dignified expression, I really misunderstood Young Master Long."


    " Many people did." Long Ming chuckled as he squatted down before her. " So, Are you willing?"


    " No."


    Long Ming sighed. He already maxed out his charisma though? Why an ordinary boy could have bed warming maids on while but he, who has Deste Immortal Aura can''t make Jiang Wanxue agree?


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is scolding Host! He is saying how can you use only sticks without giving carrots?]


    '' Ah! My bad.'' Long Ming was enlightened. He forgot that he hadn''t give Jiang Wanxue enough benefits yet.


    " Well, I believe Young Lady is gathering enough manpower to form a faction." Long Ming whispered in her ear. " However, It''s evident that you are clearlycking in this regard¡­"


    " Princess¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue''s eyes snapped open as she red at Long Ming. Long Ming could feel a strange pressure, from her body, the feeling of getting stared at by an ancient qilin.


    " I guess you know far too much, Young Master Long." Jiang Wanxue spoke in a cold voice. " I wonder if you are truly on my side."


    " I only take the side as long as there is the benefit." Long Ming grinned. " Struggle of the throne isn''t child''s y. Since I am putting my support here, shouldn''t you give me something in return?"


    " Your demands are simply ridiculous."


    " Don''t deny, Princess Wanxue." Long Ming grinned. " Currently, You are vulnerable. If I were to identally wander off, some big viins might catch you. Tut tut, it will be a disaster."


    " For your goals and ambition, won''t you agree to this request of mine?" Long Ming whispered even more gently.


    " Just say yes for formalities. I won''t make things difficult for you, at least not without your permission."


    Jiang Wanxue gritted her teeth as she looked at Long Ming. " I¡­ I agree."


    " Swear a heart oath."


    " Long Ming, You are going too far!"


    Long Ming closed his eyes. " I swear to my dao heart that I won''t go any excessive things to Jiang Wanxue without her permission if she agrees to my demand."


    Jiang Wanxue was stunned when Long Ming took the heart oath without any hesitation.


    '' Yo-You will regret it.'' Jiang Wanxue bit her lips as she spoke.


    '' I agree to your demands. I¡­ I shall be¡­Ugh." Jiang Wanxue''s cheeks turned red with embarrassment.


    " I shall be your bed warming maid"


    [Ding! Taskpleted! Host gets Seven Yin Lock Talisman]


    " Whew."


    Long Ming really epted the mission at thest moment, Thankfully, the verbal agreement was enough toplete the mission.


    However, at that moment, the entire cave shook violently.

 Chapter 161 Awakening The Disaster

    <h4>Chapter 161 Awakening The Disaster</h4>


    While Long Ming chose to stay behind, he asked Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin to go to the center of the underground realm.


    After all, he was still thinking whether he should ept the mission of saving Jiang Wanxue or not. And the meantime, he used his heavenlyprehension toprehend a part of the ancient runic word ''Seal''.


    However, Seeing Jiang Wanxue finally pushed into a corner, Long Ming finally epted the mission at thest moment and rescued her.


    Jiang Wanxue was still pretty cunning. Even when she couldn''t use her True Qi, she used an Earth grade Wind Shutteling Talisman to escape. But after she left, Long Ming summoned his Illusiory Lightning Bow and shot the assassin who was fighting against the old guard.


    Long Ming realized that he could now tap on to more than 60% power of the Illusiory Lightning Bow, which was a Royal grade weapon. The consumption of True qi also increased, but the power didn''t disappoint Long Ming at all.


    '' Even if I just used my bow physically with my Intent of Arrow, I can easily assassinate a Low stage Harmonization Realm cultivator who is wearing armor.'' Long Ming pondered.


    He doubted, without any special means, even a Peak stage Harmonization Realm cultivator could only draw out around 40% power of a Royal Grade treasure.


    However, Long Ming can easily draw out 60% of power even in the True Core Formation Realm.


    But then, he had to admit that his cultivation was simply abnormal. Tru Core Formation Realm qi cultivation, An Initial Completion Spatial Light Physique and a Minor Completion Great Mystic Mountain Physique then spiritual qi powerful as a Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    Then, he also has things like Deste Immortal Aura, Heavenly Revtion Eyes, and heavenlyprehension heart.


    When the entire cave rumbled, Long Ming understood that the *selected people* might have already reached the center. Looking at Jiang Wanxue, he asked, " How long it will take to detoxify your poison?"


    " At least an incense stick of time." Jiang Wanxue replied honestly. Long Ming directly took out a 50,000 Year old Water Curing Herb and stuffed it into Jiang Wanxue''s hand.


    " Take this. I think it can easily shorten the duration of your detoxification."


    " Are you really giving me a 50,000 year old herb casually?" Jiang Wanxue was surprised.


    " I will still take 1 Million high grade spirit stones from you, don''t worry." Long Ming added. Jiang Wanxue was speechless, yet she hurried and ate the herb without any time. After all, the longer she remained vulnerable, the more the chances of her death would increase.


    " Alright, Miss Jiang, Hold me tight."


    " Huh?"


    Jiang Wanxue didn''t expect Long Ming to lift her up like that. Without saying anything, his invisible Raging Storm Wings crackled with lightning and wind as Long Ming turned into a blur, flying towards the center.


    There were still many treants blocking the path. However, Long Ming used his mountain like weight to crush them before rushing forward.


    Jiang Wanxue waspletely focused on detoxifying herself and regaining her strength. However, she couldn''t help but feel the presence of Long Ming.


    It was the first time a man acted so boldly before her, even taking her liberties. Not to mention, she even agreed to be his bed warming maid.


    '' This rascal¡­ Just let mee out of this secret realm. I will teach you a lesson.'' She snorted inwardly.


    '' This girl is no mean an easy girl. Hehe, could it be she is plotting for revenge?'' Long Ming grinned viciously. '' If she dares to do anything funny, I won''t hold back to draw the first blood.''


    It was natural that both Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming were thinking about drawing different bloods.


    '' Ah, Now I think, I should have the rtionship panel of Max Level Affection System, no?''


    Long Ming thought inwardly as a pink colored screen appeared before him. He quickly searched and found something interesting.


    Qin Chen: 10 (Malicious Intent)


    Qin Zhong: 40 ( Suspicious)


    Jiang Wanxue: 40-60( Suspicious/Favorable)


    " Well?"


    Long Ming was speechless when he saw Jiang Wanxue''s mood.


    '' No wonder one would rather tame a millennium demonic beast than understand the heart of a woman.''


    " Strange, You are moving far too smoothly. As if¡­ You know the underground passageway too well." Jiang Wanxue nced at Long Ming.


    " Do I? I wonder."


    Long Ming grinned, making Jiang Wanxue even more doubtful.


    Along with them, she could see other cultivators were also rushing towards the center.


    *BOOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming paused his movements when he saw a towering sword intent crash on the ground, killing a dozen treants instantly.


    " Bring it on! You wooden dummies!"


    Long Ming saw Ling Yuan holding a radiant sword which was shining with a sharp sword intent. Adobe him, a dark figure materialized, giving out immense fighting spirit.


    '' He almost reached the threshold of Minor Tribtion of Sky Fighting Royal Body. With his Sword Intent, he can put up a fight against Mid stage Harmonization Realm.'' Long Ming pondered.


    Royal grade body is still a grade lower than Imperial grade physique.


    If Long Ming reaches the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, he will be able to jump an entire realm and even crush a Peak stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.


    Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming saw giant demonic trees lurking in the center of the underground ce, attacking cultivators without any scruples.


    Ling Yuan''s sword intent along with his physique destroyed everything in his path. Meanwhile, Xu Jian who was the son of the sect leader of Six Sword Pavilion, he was wielding a Royal grade sword with high proficiency.


    " Damn it! Qin Chen and Blissful Heaven Temple''s group already saw a strange light in the center. There must be a mystical treasure hiding!"


    " Hurry up and charge!"


    Ling Yuan raised his sword and it turned into a gigantic sword pir. " Great Earth Destructive Sword!"


    The sword pir rumbled with sword intent as its power was amplified with Ling Yuan''s Sky Battling Royal Physique. The pir descended, shing every demonic tree into pieces.


    " Brother Ling, Do you need a helping hand?"


    Long Ming shouted as he ced Jiang Wanxue on the ground. Ling Yuan turned around and looked at Long Ming.


    " Ah, Brother Long, You came at the right time." Ling Yuanughed. " These Giant Tree Demons are blocking the final passage. Besides, each of them has a tree core. We should clean up here fast, else those Imperial Clowns will take all the treasures."


    Long Mingughed out loud as he took out his Noble grade sword. After using it for a while, he grew quite fond of it. Besides, now, he can unleash the full power of a Noble grade sword.


    " Don''t be hasty, Brother Ling." Long Ming smiled mysteriously. " Who knows, There might be a greater peril lurking rather than a treasure?"


    " Huh? What do you mean?" Ling Yuan''s eyes narrowed when he heard that. He knew Long Ming wasn''t the type who jokes casually.


    " Radiant me Shower!"


    Ling Yuan was shocked when he felt Long Ming''s erupting sword intent. Different from Ling Yuan''s, Long Ming''s sword intent was simply pure and dominating.


    The Noble grade sword buzzed with a radiance as several dazzling swords appeared around Long Ming. Swirling around him, they showered on the Giant Tree Demons like sharp meteors.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    Everyone from Six Sword Pavilion paused when they saw the scene. The sword technique was enough to shake their heart.


    '' What a power! He is butchering down several Half Step Harmonization Realm tree demons so easily!"


    " That Noble grade sword ispletely under his control!"


    " Oh my!"


    Ling Yuan''s eyes burned with a strange passion when he looked at Long Ming''s technique. His battle intent exploded as he jumped into the army of tree demons, killing them with his sword.


    Jiang Wanxue was surprised when she finally saw Long Ming in action. Besides, he wasn''t using his physique at all.


    '' Long Ming of Four Seasons Valley, How many secrets are you hiding?''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah! HAHAHAHA!"


    Qin Chen and his subordinateughed as they finally reached arge clearing. In front of them, a giant gret color tree was standing, dazzling with multicolored rays.


    " Damn it, We reached first!"


    " Look at that! Is that a pearl? That''s emitting such great aura!"


    " Look! There is even a sword. It already refined with Sword Dao!"


    " This tree must be a heavenly treasure itself."


    Suddenly, they noticed other groups also arrived at the crucial moment.


    " Heh, Fourth Brother, You are really fast, huh?" Qin Zhong snorted when he saw Qin Chen.


    " Well, I can only say that you are slow and dumb. Nothing unusual." Qin Chen snorted.


    Soon, Jia Qing of Green Cloud Mountain and Shu Yanlin of Zhongye Sect also arrived.


    " Fellow Daoists, We reached this ce first." Qin Chen spoke coldly. " I hope everyone can back down."


    " Fourth Prince, I don''t think Imperial Family owns this ce?" Shu Yanlin snorted.


    " Heh, Why do you care?" Qin Zhong snorted as he already pulled out his saber.


    " The one with a bigger fist shall win, right?"


    Shun Yanlinughed loudly. " How true, Third Prince Qin Zhong. Then don''t mind my impoliteness."


    Without any dy, Shu Yanlin tore a talisman as he vanished from his position.


    " Bastard! Stop!"


    The old protectors were looking for hidden dangers. But they felt strange as there was none. How can a ce filled with treasure would appear themselve without any traps.


    Shu Yanlin appeared right before the sword stabbed inside the tree. However, before he could grab it, he got kicked by Qin Chen.


    Shu Yanlin drew out his sword as he retaliated. Soon, Qin Chen and Shu Yanling engaged in a fierce battle.


    However, at that moment, Three Giant Tree Demons appeared before them. Each of them was powerful as a Mid stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.


    " How about this? Let''s kill them." Qin Zhong finally spoke. " As for treasure, That would depend on one''s ability."


    " Very well."


    Arranging their groups, they attacked the tree demons. Soon, more and more cultivators gathered there, looking at the treasured tree with greedy eyes,


    However, none of them saw the subtle red veins all over the tree pulsing subtly.


    Not only the tree of treasures, the other cultivator noticed that there were plenty of spirit stones, natural ores, and energy jades scattered around. Soon, a bloody fight erupted over these treasures.


    Since they can''t eat the chicken, they can at least get some drops of soup.


    However, at that moment, Jia Qing suddenly made a move. Sneaking around, he took the divine pearl hovering above the grey tree.


    But then, the pearl cracked as its radiance dimmed.


    " Huh?"


    Suddenly, everyone felt a cold chill in their heart.

 Chapter 162 Luring Out The Monster

    <h4>Chapter 162 Luring Out The Monster</h4>


    " Bastard! Jia Qing! Do you want to die!"


    Shu Yanlin and Qin Chen were shocked. They never expected Jia Qing would make a move first. He must have used some powerful treasure to get near the pearl.


    " Jia Qing! Hand over the treasure!"


    Jia Qing himself was stunned when he saw the pearl cracking into pieces. " This¡­ I didn''t do anything."


    " Liar! You think we are fools?"


    " Hand over¡­"


    "ARRRGHH!"


    " Help! Help!"


    Everyone was stunned when they suddenly heard groans and pitiful screams.


    Unknown to them, grey colored branches erupted from the ground and started to cover all the exits. Also, crimson roots cracked out from the ground and pierced the bodies of cultivators, killing them instantly and then devouring their blood.


    " Wh-What the hell¡­"


    " Look! Look at that tree!"


    The grey colored tree shook violently as a mound slowly rose under it. The treasure covered tree on the pulsing grey mound looked like a very strange monster.


    It was like an anglerfish, with the tree and treasures as bait and the mound is the real body.


    " Damn it! It''s a monster!


    " Hurry up and- AHHHHH!"


    The crimson roots flung around ling tentacles, killing and devouring the blood of cultivators.


    " Fuck! What kind of demon is this!"


    " Everyone! Gather together and kill this thing!"


    " The treasures on the tree are real! We must kill this monster!"


    Qin Chen''s body was covered with blue scales as he took out a purple colored scroll. Suddenly, a divine figure appeared before him holding a giant sword.


    The imposing aura made the cultivators look at it with awe. The dao rhythm was enough to suppress the entire area. Sparkling mes rolled around its sword like tidal waves as it shed at the grey colored mound.


    *BOOOM! BOOOM*


    " Tha-Thats! That''s the Dao Refining Realm intent! True intent of Dao Refining Realm cultivator!"


    " Damn it! Qin Chen is hiding such a treasure!"


    Qin Chen''s face turned dark when he was using the scroll. It was such a precious item that he didn''t even dare to use it in normal circumstances.


    But the situation was simply life threatening, forcing him to use his trump card.


    " Damn it! What the fuck is that!?"


    Qin Chen''s heart shook when the dust settled. He saw the grey colored mound sh with a pale light as it blocked the attack of the divine figure. The pale light rippled violently, but the mound received no damage.


    " It blocked a straight attack from Ancient Lord''s True Intent?"


    " Impossible!"


    The crimson roots shot out toward the divine figure as it trapped him. The radiance of the divine figure flickered as it swung its greatsword. Some of the crimson roots got chopped, but the attack didn''t stop.


    " What are you guys waiting for!" Qin Chen roared. " If we don''t stop this monster, we all going to die!"


    Qin Zhong looked at his protector with hesitation as he nodded. He took out a giant m, rippling with strange threads of light. The moment he opened it, the m turned into a gigantic m asrge as a building.


    A burst of light shone as various apparitions of swords, sabers, hammers, spears, daggers, and arrows appeared in the air.


    " That-That''s treasure also contains True Intent of Dao Refining Realm cultivator."


    " Damn it! Imperial Family got too many treasures!"


    The weapons shone with blood and killing aura as they shot at the grey colored mound. However, the barrier around the mound remained standing, easily blocking the attack.


    " Damn it! What sort damned shield is this!"


    " Look! He is about to kill that divine figure!"


    The giant swordsman produced from Qin Chen''s scroll was bing dimmer and dimmer. However, it already shed over hundreds of roots. But clearly, it wascking the power to attack forward.


    Jia Qing and Shu Yanlin were doing their best as they used various treasures to increase their power output from their Royal grade treasures. With their power, they can rival a High stage Harmonization Realm cuultivator.


    s, the absurd defense of the strange grey mound left them speechless. But then, they realized the cultivators around them reduced by half.


    " This demonic thing! It''s killing and absorbing the blood of cultivators!"


    " We can''t defeat this thing!"


    " Hurry and escape!"


    Qin Chen pulled the scroll as he realized the figure of the swordsman was about to vanish. So, he swiftly changed the target and attacked toward the exit which was blocked by tree roots.


    "CRACK CRACK*


    The tree roots were shed open as Qin Chen and his group tried to escape.


    *RAA RAAA*


    However, how it could be so easy? A ravenous roar made everyone shiver in terror as they turned around.


    The grey colored mound moved like a living being as a fleshly blob of grey color raised, with countless grey branches waving around it. The elongated blob of flesh wriggled as several slits appeared around it, moving like pitch ck mouths.


    The blood of cultivators turned into a stream of red liquid as the mouths devoured them. With another roar, more crimson roots shot out from its mound as it started to move.


    " Fuck! Everyone! Run!"


    " Escape!"


    s, the speed of the crimson roots were enough to instantly kill a dozen of cultivators instantly. Everyone became horrified when they saw it, even moving more desperately to escape.


    " Young Lord! Go!"


    The protector of Qin Zhong took the Royal grade weapon in his hand as his aura exploded.


    " Damned beast! Take this!"


    A dazzling sword intent illuminated the cave as a heavenly sword materialized in the air. The power was almostparable to the strike of Low stage Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator.


    The entire cave was filled with resplendent radiance as the immense power of Royal grade weapon charged out.


    Not only Qin Zhong''s guardian, but other old guardians realize that the monster is far too powerful for the juniors.


    They instantly managed to repel the monster. However, the entire cave shook violently as the ceiling filled with intricate rune diagrams. Without a second''s dy, ming pirs of lightning descended on the old guardians who used their full power.


    *PUFF PUFF PUFF*


    The cultivators became horrified when they saw the powerful cultivators of the Harmonization Realm get killed instantly, turning into bloody mists.


    " Wh-What the hell was that?"


    " Heavenly Emperor''s Law! That''s the Azure Sun Secret Realm''sw!"


    Qin Chen and others became horrified when they realized the problem. Cultivation above Low stage Harmonization Realm is strictly prohibited.


    And the result of defying? They already witnessed it.


    *GAGA GAGAGAGA*


    The grey blob of mass looked like it wasughing in a strange way, as if it knew the result already. Everyone was shocked when they saw the grey blob crawling out from the grey shell like mound.


    The grey colored branches swung around the blob of grey as it crawled and devoured the corpses of cultivators.


    " Damn it! It blocked the exit again!"


    " Hurry up and move!"


    No matter how much they tried, the crimson roots grew again, blocking the passageways.


    However, To Qin Chen''s despair, he saw Qin Zhong using a talisman and passing through the crimson roots.


    " Qin Zhong! Bastard! I am your brother!"


    Qin Chen was horrified.?He didn''t know what sort of treasure Qin Zhong used, but he escaped from that ce. But his group remained there.


    As the blob of grey monster ughtered, it suddenly paused.


    " Heyo, You ugly ass slime."


    Everyone was stunned when they saw a young man appear, holding a small orb of sparkling gold.


    The blob monster suddenly nced at the neer as its body trembled with desire and greed.


    " What? Does this smell good?"


    Long Ming grinned as his legs crackled with lightning arcs.


    *GAGAGAGA*


    The blob of grey grumbled as it suddenly threw dozens of crimson roots toward Long Ming. Its greed for the orb of golden liquid was evident.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed with a mysterious light as his gaze focused on the movements of the crimson roots.


    He already witnessed the terror of those roots once. But this time, Long Ming was prepared.


    Using both Raging Lightning Wings and Rushing Lightning Steps, Long Ming vanished from his position as the crimson roots stabbed the ground there.


    Long Ming kept showing the orb as he moved rapidly. He knew even a moment''s dy was enough to kill him.


    Although Ancestor Huang was ready to make the critical strike, Long Ming needed to keep luring the monster till then.


    " Look! Look there!"


    " Just looking at it, I can feel such a powerful wave of Grand Dao!"


    " Grand Heaven Ascension Realm Blood Essence!"


    Everyone''s eyes turned red with greed when they realized what the small orb of gold in Long Ming''s hand was.


    " If I can refine that, I can easily reach Dao Refining Realm."


    " Hell, I might even be a Core Disciple in top grade sects!"


    Qin Chen was also breathing heavily when he saw that. Without a moment''s hesitation, he jumped mes burst around him.


    " Hehe, Give that to me!"


    Long Ming was surprised when he saw Qin Chen''s attack. He understood his action as he suddenly disappeared. Qin Chen was shocked when Long Ming disappeared abruptly.


    Yet, He felt a tremendous pressure weighing down on him as Long Ming appeared right behind him like a ghost.


    Suddenly, a crimson root pierced Qin Chen''s body, shattering all his defensive treasures. Qin Chen used this chance to escape. But then¡­


    " Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist!"


    Long Ming''s Great Mystic Mountain Physique erupted violently as his fistnded on the chest of Qin Chen.


    And this time, he forgot to hold back.

 Chapter 163 Let The Killing Begin

    <h4>Chapter 163 Let The Killing Begin</h4>


    *PUFF*


    Instantly, Qin Chen turned into a blob of shredded meat. Long Ming was shocked as he realized he identally killed Qin Chen with his own hands.


    " Ah, shit."


    Long Ming suddenly felt his heart turning cold as he looked at the corpse of Qin Chen. He actually nned to cripple Qin Chen and feed him to the monster.


    However, he never expected the monster would attack Qin Chen at the same time, breaking his Earth grade Armor and protective talisman. That made Long Ming''s attack simply crush him like a mosquito.


    Long Ming already started to feel the surging murderous urge in his heart as he sighed. However, He didn''t have much regret, since all his enemies are gathered here.


    He decided to finalize his n, putting the final piece.


    Since he saw he was able to lure the blob far from the mound, he suddenly threw the Seven Yin Locking Talisman.


    However, his target wasn''t a blob, but the mound itself.


    Thick ck shackles erupted from the talisman as it covered the entire mound. Long Ming grinned as he shouted.


    " Ancestor Huang!"


    The grey blob screamed as the ceiling shattered, and four gigantic swords fell from the sky, nailing it down on the ground.


    Long Ming realized the n was basically done. Yet, now¡­


    He looked at all the present cultivators with a calm face, and body covered with killing intent.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes and heavenlyprehension heart underwent a subtle change.


    He felt like he could easily envision an efficient way to kill everyone present in one go. However, the n kept changing and changing, reaching the perfection of the art of killing.


    '' Hmm, Imperial Family, Green Cloud Mountain, Zhongye Sect¡­''


    " I don''t think any witness needs to stay alive."


    *GRAAAAGGGGHHHH*


    The grey blob of the monster roared as it tried to escape back to the grey mound. However, the four heavenly swords crackled with four different colored lightings, crashing down on the body of the blob.


    A lightning filled with crimson me, a bolt of lightning apanied by swirling wind, a white lightning covering the air with frost, and golden lightning apanied by flowers and blossoms.


    The blob suddenly merged into the ground as if it were a fish diving in water. For a moment, it was able to evade the four heavenly swords.


    " Damn it! Stop there! You bastard!"


    Long Ming''s killing intent waspletely red as he raised his sword and made a stabbing movement. A ray of sword intent shot at the blob of mass with tremendous speed. Yet, The blob managed to evade it.


    However, The Seven Yin Locking Talisman buzzed as the dark shackles around the mound red with an evil glint.


    The blob monster growled as it tried to enter the mound again. However, the yin chains around the mound were able to block it for a second.


    And a single second was enough.


    " Heinous Beast! Prepare to die!"


    Ancestor Huang''s figure appeared as he raised a sparkling seal. The seal turned into a giant monument, crushing down on the blob of grey flesh. The blob let out a scream as it couldn''t move any longer.


    The Four Direction Grand Sword Formation rotated again as the four gigantic swords stabbed the blob again. This time, after stabbing into the body of the blob, the chains connected with the swords suddenly pulled back, raising the blob of grey flesh into the air like a pig.


    Even after getting nailed by the grand array formation, the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster didn''t stop resisting. s, it lost its protective mound shield, making it vulnerable.


    The other cultivators were stunned when they saw the scene.


    " Is that monster dead?"


    " Who is that old man? Is that a formation spirit?"


    " But the thing... Is there no danger here anymore?"


    " Doesn''t that mean¡­"


    Long Ming ced his hands behind his back as he looked at the crowd. The cultivators already started to look towards the mound and the tree filled with treasures. Yet, a majority of them were looking at Long Ming.


    Long Ming borrowed a bit of aura Grand Heaven Ascension Realm from a treasure of Ancestor Huang. Using his own blood, he created a dazzling and delicious orb of blood essence, mixed with Grand Heaven Ascension Realm power along with his Deste Immortal Aura.


    At first, even Ancestor Huang was shocked when he saw the counterfeit product. But the dao rhythm resonating in Long Ming''s Deste Immortal Aura was simply too pure to be left unnoticed.


    And as they expected, the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster indeed got lured away with that.


    As it was connected with the source of the Azure Sun Secret Realm, it didn''t fear the Heavenly Emperor Laws as long as it remained within its mound. However, since it got some intelligence, the monster realized that the cultivators here couldn''t even handle his true body, let alone its monstrous mound shield that was impervious to any attacks.


    So, it became careless,ing out of its safe zone. After all, what could a bunch of Primordial Spirit Unification Cultivators do to it?


    '' I guess it will still take some time before that monster gets killed.'' Long Ming''s eyes were calm, like a pair of deep azure abyssal pools.


    " You guys¡­ You saw I killed Qin Chen, right?" Long Ming suddenly turned around and looked at them.


    " Hehe, I guess you realized that, huh?" Jia Qing grinned viciously. " The moment the Imperial Family knows this, you will be hunted."


    " Unfortunately, Wrong answer."


    Long Ming raised his sword as the sword erupted with a blinding light. It was like an imperial sword standing proudly, giving off a bright and invincible aura.


    " Sword Intent?!"


    Jia Qing''s expression changed drastically when he saw that. He thought only Ming Yuexin managed toprehend Sword Intent. While Long Ming must be the pretty boy who just hides behind women.


    As for killing Qin Chen, many of them thought the monster was the one who did the most of work.


    However, now¡­It doesn''t look like that at all.


    " Young Sword of Green Cloud, huh?"


    Long Ming''s voice was calm and cid. Yet, one could feel a strange chill from it, like standing in thousand year old snowy fields.


    Long Ming simply waved his sword as the giant sword made of light shot toward Jia Qing.


    " Wind Cutting Green Clouds!"


    Jia Qing''s expression changed when he saw Long Ming attack him without any hesitation. His sword shed with several rays of green colored lights.


    Yet, before Long Ming''s attack, they were like dried twigs, crushed by Long Ming''s powerful sword intent.


    Jia Qing was shocked when he saw that. Without any hesitation, he pulled out a talisman and pasted on his body. A yellow rocky armor appeared on his body as he tried to defend against Long Ming''s attack.


    *BOOOM*


    " Cough!"


    Jia Qing git sted back as he coughed a mouthful of blood. The sharpness of Long Ming''s sword intent sliced off his rocky armor.


    '' Why?! We both reached Sword Intent stage! Why his Sword Intent is more powerful than mine!?''


    Jia Qing screamed in his heart. But that''s not the current issue. Seeing Long Ming, Jia Qing realized that he would die if he didn''t escape.


    Without any hesitation, he took out a purple talisman and crushed it. Suddenly, lights swirled around him as his figure started to fade.


    Before this, the crimson root sealed the entire space around the main cave. So teleportation and escape talismans were useless, other than the one used by Qin Zhong. However, now, they can be used again.


    " Who said you can leave?"


    Long Ming raised his finger and made a tapping motion.


    " Seal!"


    Suddenly, Jia Qing felt his body freezing along with the swirling lights around him. No matter how he tried, he simply couldn''t move at all.


    " Protect Senior Brother!"


    " Kill that bastard!"


    The Green Cloud Mountain disciples surrounded Jia Qing, trying to bid time for his escape.


    Long Ming vanished as his sword shed out. It was like a blinking light,cerating in space.


    Jia Qing''s eyes widened in shock and horror as the heads of Green Cloud Mountain''s disciples rolled down, making their necks turn into fountains of blood.


    Even walking amidst corpses and sttering blood, Long Ming''s figure was simply untainted, pure and elegant as it was before. However, his eyes¡­ It no longer contained the joy and liveliness of a young man.


    Currently, they were like a pair of cold azure gems, filled with simply coldness and killing intent.


    " Spa-Spare me¡­"


    *PUFFFF*


    With a single sh, Long Ming beheaded Jia Qing as he turned around.


    The other cultivators took a breath of cold air when they saw that. Although killing each other was not a big deal inside a secret realm, the scene alone gave them chills.


    " Damned bastard! You think you can escape?" Shu Yanlin was both angry and scared as he pointed at Long Ming.


    " Hand over that blood essence and we will let you go."


    " Yeah, Otherwise, we will all attack you."


    They didn''t believe so many Primordial Spirit Unification realm cultivators with various treasures couldn''t kill a single person.


    " Haaah. I really love this."

 Chapter 164 Leave None Alive

    <h4>Chapter 164 Leave None Alive</h4>


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he smiled. Shu Yanlin pulled out his weapon and looked at Long Ming.


    " Huh? Where did he go-"


    " Young Master!"


    " Brother Shu!!"


    Shu Yanlin was shocked as he felt a stabbing pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a longsword stabbing his heart from behind.


    With a light twist, Long Ming''s sword intent erupted, making a giant hole in Shu Yanlin''s chest.


    Without even getting a chance to retaliate, Shu Yanlin fell to the ground.


    Long Ming shook his head as his mind was simply filled with killing thought. However, since he killed one, killing a hundred won''t be an issue.


    Besides, he might as well eliminate all future troubles of Four Seasons Valley.


    " Let''s see how fast I can kill you guys."


    " Run! Run!"


    " Madman! He is simply a madman!"


    Long Ming simply held his sword as he used his Spatial Light Royal Body with rapid teleportation, unparalleled sword intent, and exquisite art of killing.


    Yan Ziren was so shocked as he froze in his spot. Shu Yanlin was his senior brother. Yet, he died without even being able to retaliate against Long Ming''s attack simply turned his brain haywire.


    " Bastard!"


    " Kill him!"


    " Everyone attack!"


    A smile crept on Long Ming''s lips as he again vanished from his position. His sword intent slowly concentrated around his sword, as the phenomenon around him vanished.


    His sword techniques became more and more simple and basic. Yet, they did one thing perfectly, killing the people.


    The sword intent was simply sharp and precise. With a swing, Long Ming casually severed a couple of cultivator''s bodies. With a single stab, he punctured all the organs of a cultivator/


    Yan Ziren pulled out his halberd as he was about to attack. Yet, the next moment, he saw the halberd falling on the ground, along with his two arms.


    " ARRGHHH!"


    Yan Ziren fell on his knees as he screamed in pain and agony. His eyes turned red from hatred. " Bastard! You think you can escape after killing so many!"


    " You will die! The entire Four Seasons Valley would-


    " Noisy!"


    Yan Ziren only saw Long Ming deliver a backward sh even without looking at him. A sharp ray of pale white light and Yan Ziren felt his vision blurring.


    Long Ming closed his eyes as a light smile appeared on his face. It was like he was savoring each killing to its utmost. Soon, he even stopped using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and was killed solely on his instinct.


    The crimson root barriers on the passageways are still intact, making the ce a closed space. As for those who tried to use teleportation or escape talisman first, Long Ming killed them first.


    " Not good!"


    " We can''t defeat him!"


    " Everyone, Scatter and run!"


    The cultivators from the Imperial Family and Zhongye sect realized that Long Ming was simply too powerful for them. However, the moment they tried to run.


    *XIU XIU XIU XIU*


    One by one, heads exploded like fireworks as pink darts of lights shed across.


    To their horror, they saw Long Ming pull out an exquisite bow instead of his sword.


    " I was thinking of using you as a whetstone to polish my techniques. Unfortunately, you guys want to die fast." Long Ming sighed as he pulled the string of the bow.


    Multicolored arcs of lightning shed across the string as it gathered into pink colored energy arrows.


    However, just by looking at the arrow, one can feel the feeling of getting pierced by it.


    *BOOOM*


    Everyone heard a noise as one of the passageways opened by a powerful force. A group of disciples hurriedly walked inside as they looked at the scene.


    " This¡­ Wh-What the hell happened here."


    " So many corpses."


    " Look, it''s Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples."


    Everyone hurried and rushed toward them. But then¡­"


    *PLOP*


    The heads of the two cultivators of Blissful Heaven Temple exploded as the pink colored arrow shot them.


    " My, I was really thinking where you guys were hiding at." Long Ming stretched his body as he looked at the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple.


    " That bastard!"


    " How the hell he is alive?!"


    " He is the one, Elder Brother Tao." Li Qingxin pointed at Long Ming as she spoke angrily. " You must castrate that bastard and bring him to our sect dungeon."


    " Hehe, Is Sister Li is so angry at him?" Brother Tao held a giant saber as he walked out. However, looking at the scene before him, he also frowned.


    " You killed them all?"


    " Are you the eldest disciple of Blissful Heaven Temple?" Long Ming asked in a calm and cid voice.


    " Heh, I guess you still have some knowledge, huh?" Brother Taoughed. " I am the top Core Disciple of Blissful Heaven Temple. Even your so called Mu Qinglian-"


    " Let''s see."


    Brother Tao''s smile vanished when he saw Long Ming fading from his position. Suddenly, a giant verdant mountain appeared in a cave, whose clouds were covered with auspicious clouds. Multicolored rays shed around as the mountain gave a tremendous oppressive feeling.


    Brother Tao used his fist as his entire body was covered with a pitch ck light. Suddenly, he saw a fist appearing before him as Long Ming punched his chest.


    *BOOOOM*


    This time, it was Brother Tao who disappeared from his position. With a loud bang, the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple and others only saw things crashing on the nearby wall, making the entire wall crumble.


    The next moment, they saw Brother Tao lying in the debris, his entire body mangled badly as if a mortal had been crushed under a rock.


    " You are quite something." Long Ming nodded. " You are still alive after taking my fist. I guess you used an Earth grade Talisman along with some other defensive techniques, eh?"


    The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple were simply shocked when they saw that. Li Qingxin, who was moring to castrate Long Ming, now stood with a pale face.


    Although Long Ming praised Brother Tao for remaining alive, anyone could tell that the current situation wasn''t much different from death, as he must be crippled.


    " Bastard! You dare to harm our disciples."


    An olddy stepped out as she nced at Long Ming with hatred. Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and noticed that the old woman was at a Peak stage of the Harmonization Realm.


    Even if she doesn''t utilize all her cultivation due to the restriction, with a proper weapon and experienced techniques, she has the strength to kill Long Ming.


    Besides, Long Ming realized that his True Qi already reached rock bottom. He can always use his physique, but less true qi reduces his options.


    But there wasn''t a single trace of worry in eyes.


    " Protector of Blissful Heaven Temple is powerful indeed." Long Ming nodded as he started to walk toward the old woman.


    " Heh, If you know, then die obediently." The old woman sneered when she saw Long Ming walk toward her. She felt it was an utterly foolish move, till Long Ming took a small crossbow.


    *PING*


    A small arrow shot toward the old woman, apanied by several pink arrows. The old woman sneered as he could see the weak true qi inside them.


    *PLUFF*


    But to her shock, the small arrow from Long Ming''s crossbow pierced her body while the pink arrows vanished. The pain in her body increased as she tried to get it off. However, she felt like her body turning limp and powerless, enough to make her fall on her knees.


    " Wh-What the hell is this?"


    " Punishing Crowsbow. One can kill a Harmonization Realm Cultivator." Long Ming saw the crossbow fading away as it was a single use item. The old woman clutched her chest as she fell to the ground.


    " Yo-You¡­"


    Li Qingxin and others were simply shocked and horrified when they saw their elder get killed like that.


    Long Ming simply used the other arrows as a distraction to hide the real one. And his betnded correctly.


    As the other disciples started to move to escape, Long Ming simply pulled out another talisman and infused his sword intent in it.


    Suddenly, the talisman transformed into a gigantic illusory sword, whose de was inscribed with various mysterious words. The sword shot out like it could split mountains and clouds.


    Long Ming used the Sky Piercing Sword Talisman that was lying in his inventory.


    " Get into the formation!"


    " Everyone defend!"


    *BOOOOM*


    Long Ming closed his eyes, as he knew the result.


    Nobody will notice, if nobody is there to notice.


    .


    .


    .


    " Please¡­Spare me."


    Li Qingxin hugged Long Ming''s thigh as she looked at him with fear. " I¡­ I will do anything. Whatever you want, I am willing to do."


    " I will be willing to you ve. You can¡­"


    She ripped her clothes, showing her figure before Long Ming. " You can take right here. Just¡­spare me."


    Long Ming looked at her with cold eyes as he felt a strange fragrance. It was like he was lying on a bed of flowers, with Li Qingxin seductively taking off her clothes.


    Doing various sensual positions, she invited Long Ming in a sultry way. No one could resist the temptation of her invitation to vite her.


    " I would rather fall for Meng Zhi''s charm than yours." Long Ming flicked his finger as a ray of sword intent shot out.


    Li Qingxin''s eyes remained wide as a hole appeared in her forehead. With a light thud, she fell to the ground.


    " Haah¡­Haah, This is bad." Long Ming rubbed his face as he looked at his surroundings. Other than him, no one else breathed in that cave.


    " This¡­This getting too addictive. I need to¡­ Calm down."


    Long Ming felt his sense was gradually getting blurry.


    At first, he could still differentiate between his enemies and allies. But now, he felt the only thing that remained in his heart was simply the will to kill, like a merciless killing machine.


    [ Ding! Pale Mountain Abyss Demon has died! Asking Host to retrieve the shield and corpse of the monster for questpletion!]


    Long Ming regained some rity when he heard the system voice. Suddenly, he felt a violent earthquake, something like a ripple of true qi across the entire realm.


    " Long Ming, This damned bastard is rupturing the entire Azure Sun Realm. You should hurry and exit."


    Ancestor Huang''s voice rang in Long Ming''s heart. However, Long Ming felt he can''t budge at all.


    " Ancestor Huang, Tell everyone to leave. And please, give me the corpse of the monster."


    " Long Ming, Why do you¡­"


    " Ancestor Huang¡­Trust me."


    Suddenly, a giant blob of flesh appeared before Long Ming.


    " Wait here, Long Ming. I will remove the seal from my true body and Elder Hao. Then, I wille to rescue you."


    " I am¡­not in danger though."


    Long Ming sat on a stone as he chuckled. " We have the other way out, right?"


    " Ah, That¡­ But¡­"


    " Therefore, Ask everyone else to evacuate, no matter what. Don''t let them approach me at any cost." Long Ming urged as he sighed in his heart. '' If things went wrong, I might fight and try to kill them."


    " Damn it, Should I have used Li Qingxin to calm my Chaotic Murder Heart?"


    " Nah, I don''t like that bitch. Should I¡­"


    " Long Ming?"


    Long Ming''s body froze when he heard a female voice.


    '' Ah, Not her¡­''

 Chapter 165 Fall of Princess (Mild R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 165 Fall of Princess (Mild R-18)</h4>


    " Huh? What do you mean?"


    Mu Qinglian was startled when she heard Ancestor Huang. " Long Ming''s staying behind? Why?"


    " I don''t know either. However, It''s true that we should go now. The closing time of Azure Sun Secret Realm is near." Ming Yuexin frowned.


    " Brother Long must be in the central room. I should go-"


    " No need."


    Ancestor Huang''s voice echoed as both Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin paused. " Long Ming asked you guys to take to her disciples and leave first. Besides, even if the secret realm closes, he has another way to return to the sect."


    " Since he got a way to escape, We all can just stay here, right?" Ming Yuexin argued. However, Mu Qinglian remained silent.


    " You aren''t understanding Sister Ming. If we also remain here, the people outside would be suspicious. Besides, Didn''t you notice something?"


    " No disciples of Zhongye Sect, Green Cloud Mountain, Imperial Family, and Blissful Heaven Temple came out from the direction of the main cave?"


    Long Ming instructed Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexxin to separate and kill off all the hostile sect''s disciples wandering around. Since he was going to kill the major ones in the main cave, the work of cleaning up the remaining disciples was on Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian.


    " He said he needed to recover. Besides, he was also studying the corpse of the strange monster."


    Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin heard Ancestor Huang''s voice as they sighed. Looking at each other with frustration, they turned around and left.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Jiang Wanxue was killing the demons outside as Long Ming rushed into the main cave. However, as she and the disciples of Six Sword Pavilion were about to enter the cave, the cave was sealed by strange crimson roots.


    No matter how much everyone tried, the roots were simply far too tough to get destroyed. Not to mention, the amount of tree demons outside also increased, giving them a tough battle.


    However, Not long after, Jiang Wanxue noticed that Qin Zhong appeared from the passage and shuttled out with great speed. But none of his followers or guardians followed him.


    '' Qin Zhong used the Great Yin Water Shifting Talisman. And ran away like a frightened dog? What the hell happened inside?'' Jiang Wanxue was shocked.


    After a while, the entire realm started to tremble, marking the closing of Azure Sun Secret Realm. Many disciples who wanted to destroy the crimson root barriers gave up and started to return. But seeing Long Ming still didn''te, Jiang Wanxue decided to check on him.


    The first thing that shocked her was the ground covered with corpses. Some intent,e diced, some simply crushed. The scene was enough to make even a brave person nauseate.


    But she saw Long Ming sitting there alone, like a bright, untainted pearl amidst bloody mud.


    " Long Ming?"


    Jiang Wanxue was hesitant as she called him. The moment she saw Long Ming''s eyes, Jiang Wanxue felt her entire body freezing from an unknown chill, like someone pushed her into an icy hell.


    " The¡­The secret realm is..about to close. You should¡­ Hurry up¡­" Jiang Wanxue spoke.


    However, she felt something was wrong when Long Ming just kept staring at her. She could see the violent conflicting gaze, as two powerful thoughts were colliding in his heart.


    " Are you alright? Do you need¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue approached Long Ming, but Long Ming suddenly vanished from his position and appeared before her.


    " Wh-What are you-?!!"


    Before she could even finish her sentence, she felt Long Ming pushing her against a wall as he kissed her fiercely. Jiang Wanxue was shocked as she mustered her strength to push Long Ming. Yet, Long Ming was heavy like a giant stone statue.


    Their lips met as Jiang Wanxue''s heartbeat sped up. She could feel a strange fragrance from Long Ming''s body, making him look even more charming and desirable.


    " Long Ming! Have you gone mad!? Are you forgetting my identity?!"


    Jiang Wanxue''s heart turned cold when she saw the look in his eyes. Cold, determined, and lust, with a tinge of guilt.


    Jiang Wanxue barely detoxified her own body and recovered a bit of True Qi. However, it wasn''t enough to fight against Long Ming.


    Long Ming held Jiang Wanxue as he rushed out of the cave and went straight to a room in the Central Pce. Jiang Wanxue gasped in pain as shended on a bed.


    " N-No! Long Ming, You can''t be¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue saw Long Ming taking off his clothes and she was simply shocked. She knew Long Ming wasn''t that kind of person. Yet, the sudden transformation made her confused and scared.


    But, the more she remained near Long Ming, the more she breathed that strange pheromone. She felt a strange heat in her body, urging her to take off her clothes.


    Not to mention, looking at Long Ming''s perfect bare body, Jiang Wanxue simply felt the awakening of her primal desires. Biting her lips, she tried to remain sane.


    However, she felt Long Ming suddenly holding her waist and pressing her down on the bed. Her heart thumped as she saw Long Ming''s body pinning her down. Closing her eyes, she felt her lips getting kissed again, now even more passion.


    " I¡­ I am sorry¡­ Jiang Wanxue¡­ It''s just¡­ my¡­strange disease red up."


    Jiang Wanxue''s body trembled when she heard Long Ming''s raspy voice. Her heart became conflicted for a moment. She was filled with hatred, yet she realized she can''t escape...Not without killing Long Ming at least.


    Afterstuggling in her heart¡­Strangely, she dropped all her resistance.


    " It''s alright, Young Master Long." Jiang Wanxue''s voice was like a ripple in tranquil water. " Since you helped me in trouble, I shall help you also."


    Long Ming was startled as he felt something was amiss. However, Jiang Wanxue''s voice was enough to ignite his bestial tendencies and suppress his logical reasoning.


    Their gaze met as Long Ming saw the ever determined face of Jiang Wanxue once again.


    " However, Remember, You shall also bear the consequences of viting a princess. So, you owe me one now."


    This time, It was Jiang Wanxue who took initiative to kiss Long Ming. Their lips met as Long Ming felt the cooperation of Jiang Wanxue. He could feel her soft tongue ying with his tongue, her fingers gripping her back with more firmness.


    Without taking any time, Jiang Wanxue saw her clothes dropping from the bed. Both Long Ming and Jiang Wanxue were naked, as they looked at each other.


    Jiang Wanxue averted her gaze as her cheeks turned rosy. Even she made the decision, she still felt awkward and bashful.


    " AHnn¡­ Yo-Young Master¡­ What are¡­you¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue closed her eyes as she moaned when she felt Long Ming''s lips exploring her breasts. Her breasts couldn''t be called pretty big. Yet, ording to her body proportions, her milky white breasts were simply perfect.


    She felt a tingle in her lower body every time Long Ming fondled her breasts. Rather than being forceful, Long Ming was like a seasoned chef, cooking his meal with patience.


    Jiang Wanxue''s legs tried to mp, but Long Ming kept them wide apart as he felt sucking her breasts. Even with the lightest stimtion, Jiang Wanxue moaned lewdly.


    " Ahnn~ Ahnnn~ It feels so.. Strange~"


    " Ungh¡­ I.. Ahnn~ want to¡­Pee¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue covered her face with her palms as she felt something oozing out from her sacred well. Suddenly, her body trembled as she felt Long Ming''s fingers sliding on her pussy lips, rubbing and parting them gently.


    Such stimtion broke her final resistance as her spring water gushed out, soaking the fingers of Long Ming. Jiang Wanxue breathed heavily as her fingers parted and she nced at Long Ming through them.


    Such a handsome face and eyes like a pair of azure crystal gems. Although his face was pretty calm, she could feel the air of regret mixed with a scent of lust.


    '' At least¡­ He is pretty handsome and reliable. Besides, I hope he can be useful for me and him.''


    Jiang Wanxue felt like she was drinking a bitter medicine. Yet, in the future, this medicine might save her from a huge cmity.


    Long Ming saw Jiang Wanxue remove her palms from her face as she bit her lips while panting. Her first orgasm truly made her feel like flying in clouds.


    " Hmmn?~"


    Jiang Wanxue suddenly felt a tingle as she felt something hard and pulsating rubbing against her pussy. Looking down, she could see Leng Ming''s hardened spear was ready to press forward.


    " Th-That thing..??!!"


    It wasn''t like Jiang Wanxue was like a pure baby white flower. She knew the affair between a man and a woman. But it was her first time seeing the manhood of a man.


    '' Wh-Why it''s so big? I can''t see when he was wearing pants though. Does his pant contain a special spatial space to hide that big thing?''


    '' No wait, The most important thing is¡­ is he going to put it inside me?''


    '' Will that even going to fit?''


    " Wait, Long Ming¡­ That thing¡­We take things slo-OWW! OWWW!"


    Jiang Wanxue winced in pain as she felt Long Ming''s cock shoving inside her pussy. With a light push, she could feel Long Ming''s rod parting her inner wall and ripping her maiden veil.


    Long Ming sealed Jiang Wanxue''s lips with his own as he pushed forward his hips. Jiang Wanxue felt the sharp pain increasing for a moment as tears fell from her eyes. Yet, after a few moments, she realized Long Ming was moving very slowly, easing her pain bit by bit.


    After that, Jiang Wanxue moaned as her pain mixed with a strange sense of pleasure. Feeling Long Ming''s puling rod grinding against her inner walls, Jiang Wanxue felt her mind was turning numb.


    " Ahnn!~ Ahhn!~ It¡­Feels so¡­Ahnnnh!"


    Jiang Wanxue panted for air as she could feel Long Ming''s body both outside and inside her body. She tried to not express herself, yet her moanings became louder and clearer as time passed.


    Their bodies collided as their skin brushed against each other. Long Ming and Jiang Wanxue werepletely enamored in each other''s bodies as they rolled on the bed.


    " Haah! Haah! I am¡­I am cumming¡­"


    " Wanxue, I am..cuming too!"


    " Hnnnghh!~"


    After a few hours, Jiang Wanxue panted as she felt a bitter sweet expression when she saw Long Ming''s head was lying on her chest. She caressed his hair with a deep sigh.


    " Fate is¡­so cruel."

 Chapter 166 Bed Warming Princess And Young Master

    <h4>Chapter 166 Bed Warming Princess And Young Master</h4>


    " Unnnghh¡­ Where am I?"


    Long Ming felt like he was sleeping on a cold floor as he opened his eyes. He hurriedly got up and looked around. He could see the nightlight of the city as cars and people were still walking on the road.


    It was alreadyte, but the street was still filed with people.


    " This is¡­ another fragment of my dream?"


    Long Ming pondered as he followed the road and reached a park. There, he paused as he saw the young Long Ming and the old man.


    " You are saying¡­ You can help me to get revenge?" Long Ming was shocked.


    " Only if youply with me." The old man grinned as he gnawed the bun.


    " Err, It''s not like I don''t believe you¡­" Long Ming nced at that old man. " Aren''t you too old, grandpa?"


    " Besides, if you are thinking of harvesting my organs, you better forget. My entire body is¡­"


    " Weak? Crippled? Bones soft as twigs and organs like they could rupture any moment?" The old man intervened. Long Ming was startled as he nodded.


    " Well, You have Yin Ecplise Profound Body." The old man rubbed his beard as he spoke.


    " Damn, That sounds like something straight from a fantasy novel." Long Ming gave a hollowugh. " Now, Are you going to say that I have once in a thousand year talent and pass me some ancient martial arts manual?"


    " Well, It''s not that far off." The old man grinned, showing his hideous yellow teeth.


    " The ones with Yin Ecplise Profound Body doesn''t live past 20 year because of the umtion of dark Yin energy. It simply corrodes the body from the inside."


    " Heh, It looks like I held my expectations too high." Long Ming sighed as he got up. " I don''t think I am going to live much longer. I don''t even have my medicines with me right now."


    " Maybe, You can?" The old man got up as he looked at Long Ming. " Well, If youe along with me¡­There is a chance you can live and get strong enough to take your revenge?"


    " Why are you doing this?" Long Ming nced at the old man. The old man chuckled.


    " Maybe I am just an old and curious madman?"


    The scene shifted as Long Ming followed the old man. Days passed as the old man kept feeling Long Ming some strange concoction of medicines. After seven days, the old man tied Long Ming and threw him into a cauldron of bubbling green and blue fluids.


    " ARRGHHHH!"


    Long Ming felt his entire body was ripping into shreds as he fell into the cauldron full of bubbling substances. Even with the echoing inhumane screams, the old man ate salted peanuts without any care.


    " Haah, I wonder if this one is also going to be a failure."


    As time passed, the fluid tried out, and a human shaped jelly cocoon remained inside the metal cauldron. After a few hours, a hand ripped out the cocoon.


    " Well?!!"


    The old man''s expression finally changed when he saw that. Long Ming ripped out the cocoon as he stood up. However, now, hepletely looked like a skeleton draping human skin.


    " To think you would actually survive. Congrattions, Young Man." The old man chuckled.


    " You mean I am¡­ not going to die?" Long Ming panted as he looked at the old man.


    " Well, not like that. But your chances of living increased. Now, As long as you master the Nine Poison Lotus Art, you are ready to kill your enemies."


    The scene flickered as the old man called Poison Hands took Long Ming as and retreated into a deep mountain. From that moment, Long Ming realized he entered in hell itself.


    Each day was filled with hellish training that could easily kill a normal person. Long Ming had to hunt and eat the raw flesh of various beasts. Then, he also needed to drink various poisonous drinks and get strung by various venomous creatures.


    Each day, Long Ming wondered why he was even alive. Death would be much better. But when he remembered how his parents got killed, he would clench his fist and return back to the train.


    Just like that, one year passed in the mountain.


    Poison Hand drank some wine as he looked at Long Ming before him. His current figure was simply unrecognizable from his figure a year ago.


    " I am giving you three days. Finish your work and meet me here."


    Long Ming simply got up and left. Three dayster, Long Ming returned with a sack. Poison Hand was ying with some centipedes as he saw Long Ming.


    Long Ming threw the sack as several heads rolled out from it. Each human had a terrifying expression as if they experienced the worst agony before dying. Besides, there was a clear trace of poisoning on them.


    " Hmph, Lazy ass. Just because I gave you three days, you thought you had three days?" Poison Hands snorted. " You should havee back in a single day."


    " I am sorry, Master."


    " Anyway." Poison Hands snorted. " Pack up the things. We are going."


    " Where?"


    " Mountain of Life and Death."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Long Ming''s eyes fluttered as he looked around. The cool breeze touched his bare skin as he rolled on the soft bed.


    Wait, bed?


    Long Ming suddenly remembered everything as he hurriedly sat back. But the moment he sat up, he felt a cold touch on his neck.


    Jiang Wanxue simply wore peach colored translucent lingerie as she pressed her sword on Long Ming''s neck. Long Ming took some deep breaths as his expression turned calm.


    " What? You aren''t looking afraid. Are you thinking I will leave you alive just because you had sex with me?" Jiang Wanxue''s voice turned cold.


    " Well, If you wanted to kill me, you would have done already." Long Ming gently held the sword and pushed it away from his neck.


    " Your mask of gracefulness and righteousness is truly impressive. It''s unknown how many girls you have ruined with that." Jiang Wanxue still held her sword tightly as her voice became mocking.


    Long Ming looked at Jiang Wanxue as lowered his head. " It wasn''t my intention to do that to you. It was a peculiar situation when my senses and desires went berserk. I was originally nning to go to someone else."


    " Yet, You came before me in the wrong moment. And in that moment, I couldn''t stop myself."


    " So what?" Jiang Wanxue''s voice trembled. " What should I do with your excuse, you bastard!! You already defiled my body!"


    " Well technically, You said you would be my bed warming maid." Long Ming argued. " I just¡­let nature to take its course."


    " You perverted demon! Die!"


    Jiang Wanxue raised her sword to attack. But then, Long Ming moved as he held Jiang Wanxue''s waist and pushed her on the bed.


    " Bastard! You ruined my body! You are not even allowing me to protest!"


    " Alright, Alright. Enough of that, you can drop that act already." Long Ming sighed as he pressed Jiang Wanxue beneath him. " Tell me, What do you need from me."


    The crying face of Jiang Wanxue turned stiff as she pouted. " Wh-What do you mean by that? I am not acting." She nced away with a bit of shyness.


    " If you behave like that, I won''t stay polite either."


    Jiang Wanxue nced at Long Ming as her expression turned coy. " Well, Young Master Long, You just raped the princess of the Holy Qilin Empire. If the word spreads, even Four Seasons Valley wouldn''t be able to endure the pressure."


    " That''s something I shall see." Long Ming replied with a calm face. "Besides, I feel you aren''t the one who is going announce the fact you got fucked by me, right? I am sure you need something from me."


    " Haah, I wonder why you are so sharp." Jiang Wanxue sighed as she traced Long Ming''s face with her index finger.


    " You are talented, Young Master Long. Talented people are like big fishes. They can''t stay in a small pond."


    " Why don''t youe to Holy Qilin City? If you join me, you will get all the resources from the Imperial Family and Ancient Jiang Family."


    " But can I?" Long Ming chuckled. " I killed Qin Chen after all."


    Jiang Wanxue''s pupils shrunk instantly when she heard that. " Are you¡­Sure?"


    " Yes."


    " Is there any witness?"


    " None."


    Jiang Wanxue''s expression turnedplicated for a moment as she sighed in relief. " Well, I guess that''s the retribution from heaven."


    " Judging from your expression, I guess it was Qin Chen who sent those assassins?" Long Ming rolled to the side of Jiang Wanxue andy on the bed.


    " I think so. He is a real bastard. With the support of his concubine mother, he tried to ascend to the sky in a single step." Jiang Wanxue sighed. " d that he is dead."


    " Well, I just removed a potential enemy from your path of throne, right? Your path of bing empress became smoother." Long Ming chuckled.


    " Throne of Holy Qilin Empire¡­isn''t my goal." Jiang Wanxue muttered. " I am just helping my brother, that''s all."


    " Who?"


    " The Second Prince."


    Long Ming''s expression turned strange when he heard that. Jiang Wanxue shook her head and looked at Long Ming.


    " Anyway, You are now a member of my group. If you have any shame of raping me, you won''t reject."


    " If that''s the case, then you also need to admit that you are my bed warming maid."


    " Impossible!"


    " Then sorry."


    After arguing a lot, Long Ming and Jiang Wanxue finally reached on conclusion and made a deal.


    " Alright, We need to go now." Jiang Wanxue tried to get up, but Long Ming pulled her back.


    " Wh-What are you doing?" Jiang Wanxue was startled as Long Ming kissed her neck gently.


    " Well, I already made a mistake. So why not make a few more anyway?"


    " Wait¡­!!!"


    Jiang Wanxue tried to stop Long Ming, but it was toote.


    Soon, the room again filled with amorous noises and sweet moans of a young maiden.


    " Ahnn!~ Ahhhhnnn!~ Lo-Long Ming¡­ Shouldn''t you also think about how to¡­Get out of Azure Sun Secret Realm? The¡­Gates should be closed¡­AHNN!~"


    " Don''t worry, I have a way out¡­Probably."

 Chapter 167 Disaster of Sects

    <h4>Chapter 167 Disaster of Sects</h4>


    " Look! The spatial crack is already trembling. The jade pirs are starting to get dim."


    " I guess it''s time for Azure Sun Secret Realm to get closed."


    " Hehe, I wonder which group of disciples harvested the most resources?"


    " I think it must be the Imperial Family''s faction. Both princes took some of the powerful servants with them after all."


    " The Six Sword Pavilion and Purple Cloud Sect can''t be that far either, right?"


    " Look! They areing out!"


    Three days were already passed as people were standing outside of the Azure Sun Secret Realm with anticipation and exercise. The resources of Azure Sun Secret Realm are abundant and sought by all the powerhouses.


    If one got those ancient treasures and powerful medicinal herbs, their cultivation would soar without any trouble. Not to mention, the corresponding powerhouses would also benefit from that.


    After all, powerful and talented disciples along with rare and exotic treasures and resources can definitely make a faction grow tremendously.


    " Look, Disciples areing out!"


    " Liu Family disciples, They are all alive!"


    " Six Sword Pavilion disciples came back!"


    " Purple Cloud Sect''s disciples are also back."


    " Huh? Prince Qin Zhong and only two guards?"


    Qin Zhong''s facial expression was ugly as he walked out along with two of his soldiers. General Zhou Han and the other people from the Imperial Family were shocked when they saw Qin Zhong.


    " His Highness Third Prince, Where are your protectors and other teammates?"


    " Yes, His Highness, I don''t see anyone."


    " Dead¡­ They are all dead." Qin Zhong spoke with a trembling voice. General Zhou and other''s expressions changed when they heard Qin Zhong.


    " What?! What did you say?!"


    " Where are Prince Qin Chen and his team? Didn''t you guys apanied by several protectors of Peak stage Harmonization Realm?"


    " How is this possible? You guys had the most powerful treasures and weapons."


    " Indeed, What could have happened?"


    " That damned monster!" Qin Zhong clenched his fist. " It was so powerful that the guardians needed to use their full powers. Yet the moment they used their true cultivation, the realmws of Heavenly Emperor activated and killed them instantly."


    " Even Old Master Luo of the Low stage of Nine Transformations of Soul Realm died within a moment."


    " Damn it! Heavenly Emperor''sw! How could they forget about that?"


    " To think it would be still so powerful even after thousands of years."


    " I don''t know about Qin Chen and others. I saw an opportunity and used the Great Yin Water Shifting Talisman and escaped." Qin Chen''s voice turned weak. " That monster was simply invincible. Even hundreds of cultivators attacked, it still killed them mercilessly."


    General Zhou and others looked at each other with stunned faces as they couldn''t understand what to do."


    " General Zhou, I guess we can only wait. " Daoist Zhi of Pill Martial Hall spoke with a quiet voice. " I don''t think anything happened to His Highness Qin Chen."


    " Look! Aren''t they Four Seasons Valley''s disciples?"


    " Oh my god, Look at them! Their aura is so pure."


    " They must have gotten a lot of resources from the secret realm. Their cultivation base seems to be increased."


    " Look, Saintess Mu is also out. Huh? Are they carrying someone?"


    " Ah, could it be their True Disciple, Long Ming?"


    " I can''t see the face clearly though."


    Wu Liang and other elders were shocked as they hurried to them.


    " Long Ming? Did something¡­Huh?"


    Mu Qingliang and Ming Yuexin held a person as they raised the cloth on that''s person''s face a bit. Wu Liang''s expression turned strange when she realized it was none other than Chu Li.


    " Wh-What is the meaning of this? Where is Long Ming?" Wu Liang asked in a hushed voice.


    '' He is still inside the secret realm. We need to pretend that he came out with us, to not people suspect anything.'' Mu Qingliang spoke with voice transmission.


    Hearing Long Ming was still inside the Azure Sun Secret Realm, Wu Liang became anxious. However, seeing Mu Qinglian''s expression, she decided to y along.


    " Mu Qinglian, What did you say? Long Ming is injured?" Wu Liang was *shocked* " Hurry up and take him back to our cultivation manor."


    Ming Yuexin rubbed her face in embarrassment. " Master, Can''t you act a bit¡­Better."


    But they pretended and took *Long Ming* away from the crowd. Wu Liang made Chu Li sit in a carriage and sent her back.


    " What the hell is happening? The secret realm door is about to get closed."


    Elder Chi of Blissful Heaven Temple was growing anxious as he kept looking at the gate. " Where are my sect disciples?"


    " Indeed, Green Cloud Mountain''s disciples didn''te out either."


    As the door became fainter, a few Zhongye Sect disciples came out. After a while, the spatial crack closed as the jade pirs dimmed down.


    " Shan''er, What happened? Where are your senior brothers Yan Ziren and Shu Yanlin? Where are other disciples?"


    " Elder Deng, only we came out?" The disciple was shocked. " The senior brothers and sisters went to the Central Pce because the restriction was finally broken."


    " However, we waited and waited, and none of them came out. We even waited near the exit of the secret realm. We thought they must have gotten out earlier, so we came out."


    The Elder Deng of Zhongye Sect was shocked when he heard that. " Impossible! They didn''te out at all!"


    " Central Pce''s restriction got broken?"


    " What the hell exactly happened?"


    " Does that mean¡­Disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain got wiped outpletely?"


    " Hisss!"


    Everyone sucked a breath of cold air as they looked at the ugly expressions of the elders of Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain.


    " No-No¡­ It can''t be possible."


    " Our disciples! The¡­They can''t be!!"


    Wu Liang was also surprised as she nced at Ming Yuexin. " Xinxin, what exactly happened inside?"


    Ming Yuexin chuckled as she whispered. " What they are thinking is true. All of them are dead as they can be."


    " Oh my¡­"


    Wu Liang was stunned when she heard that. " Really?"


    " Indeed. Besides, we even harvested so many resources that our sect couldn''t spend it even after spending a few centuries."


    " Wu Liang, What is the meaning of this?"


    Wu Liang grinned as someone shouted her name. Turning around, she saw Elder Chu of Blissful Heaven Temple ring at him.


    " Why all the disciples of Four Seasons Valley are safe yet my Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples are missing?"


    " Well, Isn''t it obvious?" Wu Liang sneered. " My disciples are obviously talented. How can your trash sect''s trash disciples stay alive in a secret realm?"


    " Wu Liang! You think our Blissful Heaven Temple is scared of you?" Elder Chu''s face turned livid as his cultivation aura exploded out.


    " Hmph, Do you think I would back down?" Wu Liang snorted as she pulled out her saber.


    mesbusted around her like explosions as they turned into beautiful flowers burning like a setting sun. The flowers circled around her saber as she pointed it out.


    " Elder Chu, You aren''t alone. I also want to hear the truth." An elder from Green Cloud Mountain also joined it.


    Suddenly, the there became tensed as they watched the scene. Wu Liang took a deep breath as she still mocked.


    " My, Such hypocrisy and cowardness, I am truly enlightened today." Wu Liang grinned as she pointed at Qin Zhong. " Instead of asking Third Prince Qin Zhong, who is the sole survivor of the Central Pce, you dare to ask my disciples of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " You truly showed your true face, Chu Nan. Your Blissful Heaven Temple is just so-so."


    Everyone''s expression changed when they heard that. General Zhou saw the attention of the crowd target at Qin Zhong and the Imperial Family. Before she could say anything, Mu Qinglian stepped out.


    " Other than me, All the Four Seasons Valley disciples made their basecamp in the Herbal Sanctuary of Inner Zone. Therefore, they are unrted to anything that happened in the Core Zone."


    "As for your Blissful Heaven Sect and Green Cloud Mountain, I only saw your disciples entering the Central Pce. Aside from that, I didn''t see them at all."


    Her voice is powerful and imposing as the true qi rippled in the air. Even cultivators of the Harmonization Realm felt the authority of Mu Qinglian.


    " Have you guys listened?" Wu Liang snorted as she sheathed her saber. " Everyone, Let''s go. Sect Master is eagerly waiting for you."


    " Yo-You!!"


    The sects who suffered the loss became angry. Yet they don''t have any reason to stop Four Seasons Valley disciples. Besides, since Mu Qinglian already pointed out, it''s better to get rifications from Qin Zhong.


    Barely the moment after the Four Seasons Valley disciples left, a golden birdnded before General Zhou, passing him a letter. The moment General Zhou opened the letter, his expression changed instantly.


    " What is it?"


    Imperial Steward Fu asked General Zhou with curiosity. Seeing the letter, even Steward Fu was shocked.


    " Fourth Prince is dead. His soulmp has shattered. Meanwhile, Princess is alive and living."


    " Fate is truly mysterious." Steward Fu sighed. " Perhaps it''s time for Princess to return to the pce."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " You are a fucking beast."


    Jiang Wanxue red at Long Ming as she tied her clothes. Long Ming gave a nonchnt shrug as he also wore back his robe. However, Looking at?Jiang Wanxue, he couldn''t help but remember the taste of her tantalizing body.


    " Long Ming, if you are thinking something nasty, I will kill you even if endangers my life." Jiang Wanxue''s eyes turned cold when she noticed Long Ming''s expression.


    " Alright, No need to worry, Princes Wanxue."


    Jiang Wanxue paused as she turned around. " I am still Jiang Wanxue for now, not Qin Wanxue."


    " I see." Long Ming nodded casually as he walked out, leading Jiang Wanxue. He took out a seal and poured some spiritual qi into it.


    " Haah, You finally got up, huh?"


    An old man appeared before them, making Jiang Wanxue startled. Long Ming bowed. " Greetings, Ancestor Huang."


    " It''s alright. Get up." Ancestor Huang nodded as he looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    " Ancestor Huang, since that monster is killed, we can use the great teleportation formation, right?" Long Ming asked.


    " Well, Thankfully, I have repaired it." Ancestor Huang nodded. " We can use it."


    Elder Hao also came as he smiled at Long Ming. Soon, they boarded on a pavilion.


    " Where are we going?" Jiang Wanxue asked curiously."


    " Straight to Four Seasons Valley."

 Chapter 168 Asking For Rewards

    <h4>Chapter 168 Asking For Rewards</h4>


    The distance between Azure Fragrance City and Grand Sky City is simply too far. Although the entire ce was under the Four Seasons Valley, the distance was inconvenient for daily transportation to Azure Fragrance Realm.


    Therefore, there used to be a grand teleportation formation that directly connected the Four Seasons Valley and Azure Sun Realm.


    However, when the Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster corrupted the imperial spirit veins of Azure Sun Realm, the elders back them simply dismantled the teleportation formation in Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    They were afraid if anything went wrong, the monster might directly escape to the main sect. To minimize the damage, they destroyed the teleportation formation, severing the connection between Azure Sun Realm and Four Seasons Valley.


    However, since the monster is dead now, Long Ming asked Ancestor Huang to restore the teleportation formation so they could go back. After all, they can''t use the entrance of Azure Sun Secret Realm as it will definitely attack the attention of all the sects.


    '' Besides, those old bastards of Blissful Heaven Temple and Imperial Family might be still outside, waiting if their disciples are going toe out.'' Long Ming pondered.


    Jiang Wanxue was also getting worried as the exit was closed. For thousands of years, people tried to forcefully open the Azure Sun Secret Realm. Yet, they only managed to open it after a regr interval of time and only for three days.


    So, she was curious how Long Ming was going to escape from here. Never in her imagination, she thought she would see two of such powerful cultivators living here.


    " Hey, Long Ming, Where is the corpse of Pale Mountain Abyssal Monster? And that shield like mound of that monster?" Ancestor Huang asked curiously.


    " Huh? It''s not there?" Long Ming was surprised.


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is informing you that he had taken away the corpse and the mound after youpleted the quest]


    Long Ming''s eyes shrunk when he saw the message. '' Damn it, So you guys can even take the things from here?''


    [ The Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is shrugging. He said youpleted the quest so he managed to take it without any issues]


    [ Ding! As rewards, Host received a Divine Grade Chest! Host received?Comprehension of Seven Ancient Runic Words!]


    [ As an additional reward, Host received the Blood Tree Core of the monster]


    [ Blood Tree Core: It contains 1% essence of the Pale Mountain Abyssal Demon. It''s the amalgamation of blood essence and energy umted by the monster. A single drop of it can increase the lifespan of a cultivator below the Dao Refining Realm by 500 years. If refined well, it can boost the cultivation of several suitable Imperial Physiques]


    Long Ming saw several things appearing in his inventory, making him ecstatic. However, remembering the outrageous ability of the mound, Long Ming felt a tinge of regret.


    '' If refined well, that mound can easily stop a full power attack of an Imperial Treasure. In the end, Great Crow is the one who benefited the most.'' Long Ming chuckled bitterly.


    " Well, Ancestor Huang, I only tried to study the corpse. But it suddenly evaporated and all there was left was this." Long Ming took out a drop sized part from the Blood Tree Core and split it into two.


    " Ancestor Huang, Elder Hao, Please, Take this. With my appraisal, I can tell that it can give you an additional lifespan of 250 years." Long Ming smiled as he passed the split drops to them.


    '' What? 250 years?!" Both Ancestor Huang and Elder Hoa were shocked. " Are you sure?"


    " Such longevity medicines, shouldn''t they be rare? Only Alchemist King and above can refine pills that can give a lifespan above 100 years."


    " Well, This is what I got from the monster. Besides, since the danger is gone, I hope both elders wille back and be the backbone one our sect." Long Ming cupped his fist.


    " Long Ming, Four Seasons Valley is blessed to have a young man like you." Elder Hao became emotional.


    " Sigh, Perhaps you are truly the savior mentioned by Emperor Crimson Sky."


    " Savior?" Long Ming became confused. " I don''t quite understand?"


    " It''s nothing." Ancestor Huang smiled. " Let''s go. I am eager to see the world outside."


    *RUMBLE RUMBLE*


    Long Ming saw the formation pirs turning bright as the space around them turned distorted. Suddenly, everything turned dark for a moment before Long Ming saw his body was shooting like an arrow inside a space time tunnel.


    Colorful lights shed around him, as Long Ming felt tremendous pressure. He felt if the protective barrier of the teleportation formation vanished, he would be ripped into shreds in a nanosecond.


    However, looking at the colorful chaos of light and darkness, Long Ming felt his Spatial Light Royal body stimted. It was like a starving person noticing a table full of delicious food.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes activated as he felt he could feel the chaotic spatial turbulence even more vividly. Long Ming felt like even among that chaos, the Grand Dao of heaven and earth was hiding.


    *BOOOM*


    However, it was barely a few moments since Long Ming entered in a trance-like state, the spatial turbulence vanished as the space slowly changed.


    Long Ming saw they appeared right outside the mountain where outer disciples stayed.


    The pir of light from the teleportation formation was enough to rm the entire sect. It didn''t take much time before Xia Yuqing descended before them.


    " Long Ming? Wh-What are you doing here?" Xia Yuqing couldn''t help but hide her shock. " Besides, this teleportation formation¡­It was broken long ago. How did you¡­"


    " Master, I can exin everything. However, Let''s talk inside." Long Ming cupped his fist as he bowed before Xia Yuqing.


    After a while¡­


    " Sect Master Xia Yuqing greets Ancestor Huang and Elder Hao." Xia Yuqing cupped her fist before both of them.


    " It''s alright, Sect Master Xia. We are thankful that you guided the Four Seasons Valley through the troubled times." Elder Hao smiled lightly.


    " So, you are saying the Azure Sun Secret Realm is now permanently connected with our Four Seasons Valley?" Xia Yuqing couldn''t help but hide her shock.


    Azure Sun Realm is already famous because it opens once in a while and only for three days. But since Long Ming connected the teleportation formation, doesn''t that mean the resources of Azure Sun Secret Realm can be harvested by Four Seasons Valley, anytime?


    Doesn''t that mean Four Seasons Valley got their hands on a never ending treasure trove?


    Xia Yuqing was so shocked that she became silent for a while. Looking at Long Ming, his heart filled withplicated emotions.


    Long Ming chuckled when he saw Xia Yuqing''s gaze. " Actually, Master, You should transmit a message to Grand Elder Wu and others. They must be getting worried about me since I didn''t go out with them."


    " Actually, I can see the qi of spirit veins around here are thin. With a bit of tweaking, I think I can reverse the spiritual veins here and increase the energy of heaven and earth." Elder Hao rubbed his chin and spoke.


    " Sect Master Xia, Since you are the sect master, it''s our duty to listen to your instruction." Ancestor Huang stood up. " However, since this old man''s body is pretty damaged, I am going to seclusion to heal myself."


    " However, if any problem arises, you cane to me without any worries." Ancestor Huang smiled. " I hope my cultivation of Peak stage Soul Realm can help you."


    " Ancestor Huang, You are too polite." Xia Yuqing shook her head.


    " Hehe, You really got a good disciple, Sect Master Xia." Elder Hao smiled at Long Ming. " You should cherish him more."


    Long Ming chuckled as he could see the impatience in the eyes of Elder Hao and Ancestor Huang. After all, their longevity was affected badly while sealing themselves to protect the imperial spirit veins in Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    And now, they are eager to refine the drops of Blood Tree Core to increase their longevity.


    " And, Who is that girl outside?" Xia Yuqing looked at Jiang Wanxue who was waiting outside of the Deste Winter Pce.


    " Ehh¡­ She is the young miss of the Ancient Jiang Family, Jiang Wanxue." Long Ming gave an awkward smile." Don''t worry, Master. She won''t reveal anything at all."


    " She better don''t." Xia Yuqing''s eyes narrowed as she waved her hands and summoned a mirror. A string of spiritual qi came out from her forehead and entered the mirror.


    The mirror shone with a pale radiance for a moment before turning dim again.


    " What was that?" Long Ming was surprised.


    " It''s a long distance message transmitting treasure." Xia Yuqing spoke. " I asked Wu Liang to bring back the disciples as fast as she can."


    " Well, Master, Since we are alone now, Shouldn''t you reward your disciple for the contribution toward the sect?" Long Ming''s voice became coy. " After all, I brought so many benefits to the sect."


    " Hmm, Is that so?"


    Xia Yuqing''s eyes narrowed as she looked at Long Ming. Even without looking at him, she could tell that Long Ming had no good intentions.


    " Speak, What do you desire?"


    " Can I massage you?"


    Jiang Wanxue shuddered as she looked at the Deste Winter Pce. She was sitting outside, waiting for Long Ming.


    " Damn, Why do I feel the coldness around here increased?"

 Chapter 169 Xia Yuqing’s Dilemma

    <h4>Chapter 169 Xia Yuqing''s Dilemma</h4>


    Xia Yuqing''s eyes turned wide in shock when she heard Long Ming''s words.


    " Disciple, Just because I have enough trust in you, I won''t be castrating you instantly." Xia Yuqing''s smile bloomed. " You have three seconds to exin yourself."


    " Wa-Wait, Master, Let me exin!" Long Ming hurriedly got up as he could already feel a chilling murderous intent behind Xia Yuqing''s smile.


    " What I am saying is¡­ Allow me to pass you the true Returning Spring Rejuvenation Flowing Energy Arts."


    " Returning Spring Rejuvenation Flowing Energy Arts?" Xia Yuqing was startled.


    She remembered the time when she showed the Returning Spring Sword Arts to Long Ming for the first time and Long Ming asked that it was a bit weaker than the other three sword arts.


    '' The Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art was iplete, making one''s progress halt after a stage. Even though I tried to patch the technique with my ownprehension, I still couldn''t reach thest step in the end.''


    " Do you have theplete technique?" Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming and asked.


    " Well, I do have it¡­But I can''t pass that to you." Long Ming started to look here and there. " I can only guide the cirction method through guiding your qi¡­Which requires me to touch your body."


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming with a cid gaze. " Why do I smell ulterior motives from you, Disciple?"


    " That''s baseless usations, Master." Long Ming defended himself.


    " Then hand over theplete technique." Xia Yuqing didn''t beat around the bush. Long Ming gritted his teeth as he spoke, " Master, Asking for things without giving benefits isn''t very good."


    " Is that so?" Xia Yuqing narrowed her eyes. " Are you not harvesting enough benefits? Xiao''er, Chen Yin, Lin Xie, Ming Yuexin¡­ Should I say more?"


    " Well¡­ You can''t deny their strength also increased, Master." Long Ming felt his face burning, but he still kept on his thick skin.


    " What a rebellious disciple! Eyeing on your master''s body, Are you not ashamed?" Xia Yuqing couldn''t help but blurt out. Long Ming was truly acting brazenly.


    " Hehe, even if it was bound to fail, it didn''t hurt to try, right?" Long Ming chuckled when he saw Xia Yuqing''s ring eyes.


    " Anyway, I wish to speak something about this Returning Spring Flowing Energy Arts and Sword Technique." Long Ming''s expression turned solemn. " In the secret realm, Fourth Prince Qin Chen tried to bait Senior Sister Mu to give the technique to him."


    " And, I believe it''s Sky Martial Tower who is supporting the Fourth Prince, or they supported, as that bastard is dead." Long Ming chuckled. " I believe they need this technique for a significant thing."


    Xia Yuqing''s expression turned serious when she heard Long Ming''s information. " Are you sure? Sky Martial Tower is pulling the strings from behind?"


    " I am 90% sure, Master. They are truly doing their best to harm Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming rubbed his chin. " And I am sure, Blissful Heaven Temple and a part of the Imperial Family are colluding with Sky Martial Tower and targeting the Four Seasons Valley."


    " Haah, Those bastards. Even after years, they are not letting Four Seasons Valley have peace. Then we aren''t going to be polite anymore." Xia Yuqing''s eyes gleamed with coldness as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Alright, Now hand over the technique."


    " Master, You should let the disciple taste some honey, no?" Long Ming spoke in a pitiful voice.


    " If you aren''t willing to give me the technique, you are free to leave. I don''t wish to waste time with you bickering." Xia Yuqing spoke in a calm voice.


    Long Ming sighed as he passed the two techniques to Xia Yuqing. " You won, Master."


    Xia Yuqing chuckled, the smile of victory was too obvious. However, seeing Long Ming, she still felt a bit of pity.


    '' Why is he so¡­attracted towards me anyway? I am his master!'' Xia Yuqing rubbed her shoulders as she couldn''t help but get flustered.


    " Ahem, Are you telling the truth¡­that you know how to massage?" Xia Yuqing looked away as she asked with a faint voice.


    " Absolutely!"


    Long Ming''s stood up with excitement as he shouted. But the next moment, he fanned himself with his Plum Blossoms Fan as he regained hisposure.


    " Ahem, What I meant is¡­ I am proficient in using various soothing methods that would drive away your umted physical, mental, and emotional fatigue."


    " Your eloquence along with that face of yours, you are truly like a gentlemen hiding a knife in your heart."


    Xia Yuqing sighed. She was amazed to see how Long Ming buttered up his desires in such a professional way.


    " Fine, I¡­ I shall think about that in the evening." Xia Yuqing got up and turned around. " Other than those weird things, do you wish any other rewards from me?"


    " Other rewards¡­ For now, I have everything I need." Long Ming smiled. " If I need something, I shall ask Master."


    " Very well, You can leave now." Xu Yuqing spoke with mild authority. Long Ming cupped his fist and walked out.


    Xia Yuqing ced her palm on her chest as she could feel her thumping heart. Thinking about Long Ming''s proposal, she couldn''t help but blush.


    " To think I, Xia Yuqing would take such a shameless disciple."


    " Even if he is somewhat handsome, and eloquent¡­and have a great talent,prehension, talent in alchemy and rune inscriptions and crafting treasure clothes and¡­''


    Xia Yuqing felt a loss when she saw Long Ming''s pros. Shaking her head hurriedly, she calmed her mind again. " Yeah, So what? He is simply too vulgar and lustful, a person with no shame."


    " I guess I should talk with Mu Qinglian about this soon."


    But she still fell into deep thought about whether she should allow Long Ming to *relieve her fatigue*.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " You finally came out." Jiang Wanxue nced at Long Ming. " I thought you were going to imprison me here."


    " I am a gentleman, Miss Jiang. I won''t use such underhanded methods." Long Ming chuckled. " As long as both of us trust each other and cooperate well, I am sure both of us shall achieve our goals."


    " You got a very smooth tongue, Young Master Long." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming. " But I hope your words stay true when I ask your help in the future. The Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Dynasty is merciless, Young Master Long."


    " I hope, You would pick the right side." Jiang Wanxue chuckled. " Oh wait, I guess you already picked a side."


    " I have to admire your determination, Miss Jiang. Even after what I did with you, you are having yourposure and talking with me reasonably." Long Ming nced at Jiang Wanxue.


    " Although I do have the urge to kill you, Long Ming, I believe you are more useful to me alive than dead." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming with her usual calm expression.


    Long Ming felt Jiang Wanxue''s brain wiring must be pretty peculiar. However, he could also feel that she could keep her head cool even in most adverse moments, giving her an edge to push back her enemies.


    '' No matter what, I need to stay vignt while dealing with her.'' Long Ming made a mental note about Jiang Wanxue.


    " Very well, Since that''s the case, I shall wait for you eagerly in the Holy Qilin City." Jiang Wanxue turned around to leave.


    " If Miss Jiang wishes, you can stay in my room tonight. I am sure we can use this time to know each other closely."


    Jiang Wanxue flushed as she red at Long Ming when she heard that. " Don''t push your luck, Long Ming. One more time and I will really pull out your tongue."


    Saying that Jiang Wanxue disappeared as she turned into a gust of wind.


    Long Ming chuckled as he returned to the Solitary Flower Peak. Sitting on his favorite spot, Long Ming nced at the beautiful scenery before him.


    Unlike other mountains, Solitary Flower Peak remained unused for years and no one came to live here. Unlike the other peaks that got taken care off, Solitary Flower Peak''s beauty hides in its raw wildness.


    " Oh my, The true qi around the Solitary Flower Peak¡­ It''s increasing. Could it be that Elder Hao already started to rearrange the Earth Spirit Veins?" Long Ming was ecstatic.


    As long as the flow of heaven and earth''s energy increases, the cultivation speed of Four Seasons Valley will also increase.


    And now, along with two powerful elders, Long Ming could at least stop worrying about the existential crisis of the sect.


    " Let''s keep Blood Tree Core to the side now. I already gained theprehension of Ancient Runic Words Seal and Unity. And now, I finally got the remaining seven: Order, Chaos, Creation, Destruction, Illusion, Truth, Devour."


    Seven scrolls appeared around Long Ming as he stared at each word with a serious expression.


    Even with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and supremeprehension, unraveling the profoundness of these nine words is simply a tedious task.


    Yet, he can at least grasp the basics and incorporate them with his techniques and cultivation.


    " Alright, Time to open the loot box." Long Ming rubbed his palms as his gaze fell on the Divine Grade chest.


    [ Ding! Host opened the Divine Grade Chest!]


    [ Host obtains Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques]


    .

    This chapter is a token of apology. Please ept it, Fellow Daoists.

 Chapter 170 Preparing A Feast

    <h4>Chapter 170 Preparing A Feast</h4>


    Long Ming''s eyelids twitched when he saw the reward. It felt eerily familiar to a scripture he remembered a certain character using back then.


    However, putting the thought aside, Long Ming calmed his mind as a box floated out from the Divine Grade Chest.


    Unlike scripture, its appearance was bizarre. It was more like a brick made of liquid gold and wriggling like a worm as it was alive.


    Long Ming could notice countless tiny words were swimming on the surface of the brick.


    The moment he focused on the words, even his Heavenly Revtion Eyes felt a strange pressure.


    He felt like he could understand the words while not knowing shit at the same time.


    He could feel the flowing grand dao of heaven and earth, thews of the universepressed in the brick.


    However, that''s precise reason why Long Ming can''t instantlyprehend it with his Skill Learn ability and his heavenlyprehension.


    He felt like it was simr to watching ake. At first, one can just say they are looking at theke. After gazing for a few more moments, they can see the ripple of water and flowing leaves on the water''s surface. The next moment, they can see underwater lifeforms and the depth of theke.


    The process was simply everchanging, like flowing water in a river. It was up to Long Ming how much he couldprehend.


    " Pfft, Ahahaha¡­HAHAHAHA!"


    Long Ming''s lips curled upward as he started tough loudly. For the first time, he felt like there was something he could study at an ordinary pace. It was like uncovering a mysteryyer byyer, eachyer containing the secrets of Grand Dao.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes focused as he looked at the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques. There was simply no starting page or ending page. It was like a circle, with endless starting and ending points.


    Rubbing his fingers on a certain ce, Long Ming''s mind became calm as he started using the Eternal True Spirit Arts. His spiritual qi stirred as he immersed himself in a tranquil state.


    His eyes turned deep azure as he looked at the ce to start. It was unknown how much time had passed, but Long Ming suddenly got disturbed as he heard a knock on the door.


    " Young Master Long? The group has returned from Azure Fragrance City." Xiao''er''s voice stirred Long Ming''s heart as he sighed.


    " Xiao''er, How much time has passed since I entered this room?"


    " More than six hours already passed."


    Long Mingughed bitterly when he heard that. Six hours was enough for him toprehend the initial stages of a Royal grade technique. However, he barely got a rough grasp of the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques.


    If one would separate the cultivation, it would divide into three parts: Energy which is called Qi Cultivation, Body which is Physique cultivation, and Spirit which is Soul Cultivation.


    Among them, qi cultivation is widely epted and much easier. However, Although physique cultivation is harder and requires much more time, its power is also undisputed.


    What are special physiques? Long Ming already heard the exnations of Ren Qian and Xia Yuqing, but the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physique increased hisprehension.


    The Grand Dao of heaven and earth is eternal, yet the path towards the Grand Dao is ever changing. Some cultivators believe their dao heart and walk on the path that they think is the true path. While there are others who walk on the path of someone else who attended the Grand Dao.


    Both paths have their own merits and demerits and it depends on a cultivator which path they should choose. However, in the end, some truths remain eternal throughout the time.


    The Supreme Scripture of Myriads Physiques isposed of the entirety of physique cultivation itself. In the short term, it was like an encyclopedia that contained the catalog andprehension of various physiques, from Noble grade to Ancient Heaven Grade.


    3000 Noble grade physique, 330 Royal grade physique, 33 Imperial Physiques and 9 Ancient Heaven Grade physiques. Even if their name changes and physique technique changes, these are the set figures.


    '' If I could study well, I can easily cultivate any physique technique with my Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique. Hell, I can even teach other various physique cultivation techniques myself."


    " This scripture is truly worthy of being a divine grade treasure. Althoughprehending the entire thing in a short amount of time is impossible, I don''tck time at all.'' Long Ming pondered as he walked out of his room.


    When he arrived at the courtyard, he was dumbfounded when he saw the scene outside.


    " Brother Long!"


    " Senior Brother Long!"


    " We were so worried!"


    " Wh-Whoa! Calm down, everyone!"


    Long Ming got overwhelmed by the crowd as all the girls rushed forward and tried to hug him. The anxiousness and relief were evident in their eyes. Ming Yuexin was in front as she hugged Long Ming tightly.


    " Rascal! You made us so worried! I really wanted to defy Ancestor Huang''s order and rushed to see you." Ming Yuexin scolded.


    " Alright, Everyone, I made everyone worried. I apologize for it." Long Mingughed lightly as he cupped his fist. " How about this, as an apology, you all shall have a party in Solitary Flower Peak."


    " Hahaha! Yes!"


    "Finally! We can finally celebrate!"


    " Senior Brother, You better don''t disappoint us."


    Long Mingughed as he raised his hands. The Fragrant Yin Qi turned into a sharp sword qi as it shot out, slicing off some trees in the distance. With Long Ming''s skillful control, he quickly turned the ancient tree into a pile of firewood.


    '' My Fragrant Yin Qi has increased in both quality and quantity after sleeping with Jiang Wanxue. I can feel the existence of Jiang Wanxue''s power within myself.''


    '' Interesting, Could it be¡­ I had gotten the qilin divine qi that only the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire possesses?'' Long Ming couldn''t help but grin viciously.


    The Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art already reached the fourth stage. The Fragrant Yin Flower inside him had already grown into a solid tree. And the burst of pure Fragrant Yin Qi from Jiang Wanxue was its first nourishment.


    Along with the Fragrant Yin Qi, Long Ming also gets traces of various techniques and bloodline power that Jiang Wanxue cultivates.


    But of course, Long Ming estimated that if nothing out of the ordinary happens, Jiang Wanxue might step into the Harmonization Realm after having sex with him.


    Long Ming took out the Cooking God''s knife and looked at the pile of demonic beasts. These demonic beast corpses were gathered in the Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    Unlike before, Long Ming now possesses sufficient cultivation andprehension. With a swift movement of his hand, Long Ming''s knife slices apart the hides of demonic beasts which are as tough as spirit steel.


    *CRACKLE CRACKLE*


    With Long Ming''s exceptional fire control. He used the smoke of ancient woods and charred the meat. In another fire pit, Long Ming used a wok and cooked various spirit herbs and turned it into a soup.


    " To think Senior Brother also knows how to cook."


    " Did you forget the delicious dinner prepared by Senior Brother in Azure Sun Secret Realm?"


    " But that was different. This time, Brother Long is putting his everything in his cooking."


    The aroma already started to make the girls'' noses twitch and belly grumble in hunger. However, the chatter of the girls didn''t stop at all, turning the ce filled with joy and merry.


    " Hey, Lin Xie and Chen Yin, What did you guys do in the Herbal Sanctuary? Is there any harvest?" Long Ming remembered something as he looked at them


    " Hehe, Senior Brother, I can''t even speak about that." Chen Yin grinned ear to ear.


    " Thanks to Elder Hao''s guidance, we picked the herbs which were already ripe for harvesting. Besides, the spirit veins were simply left bare for god knows when. So we were able to mine a lot of spirit stones."


    " Approximately, If we all pool together, we got around a billion High grade spirit stones." Shui Huan looked at Long Ming as she smiled foolishly.


    Even Long Ming was surprised when he heard the figure. " Damn, You guys sure filled our sect treasury."


    " These are all thanks to you, Brother Long. Without you, we couldn''t even dream of setting foot in the Azure Sun Secret Realm."


    Everyone cupped their fists as they bowed before Long Ming. Everyone put down their spatial ring which were filled to the brims before Long Ming.


    " Silly girls, You are making me flustered." Long Mingughed loudly. " Alright girls, the lunch is ready. And, I have some good wine too."


    " Hmm, but before that¡­"


    Long Ming looked around as he saw someone was absent. It was none other than Mu Qinglian. Long Ming sighed as he pondered when Mu Qinglian might be.


    Thinking about something, Long Ming vanished from his position as he directly appeared before Mu Qinglian''s courtyard. There, he saw Ling''er, Mu Qinglian''s maid.


    " Ah, Young Master Long¡­"


    Ling''er was startled when she saw Long Ming. Seeing Long Ming after a long time, Ling''er was a bit flustered.


    Long Ming gave a guilty smile. " Is Senior Sister forbade me to go inside?"


    " I guess Lady Mu is a bit angry right now¡­" Ling''er spoke with a careful voice.


    Long Ming chuckled as he took out the dishes he cooked and stood before the courtyard. Drizzling a bit of special barbeque sauce he cooked, Long Ming used his Plum Blossom Fan to fan the aroma into the house.


    " Sister Mu, If you don''t hurry ande out, the food there would get finish."

 Chapter 171 Planning The Next Action

    <h4>Chapter 171 nning The Next Action</h4>


    " Rascal! Rouge! You are still fooling around before my house?"


    The door burst open as Mu Qinglian walked forward with angry stomps. Looking at Long Ming she snorted angrily.


    " You just want to do everything alone, Don''t you? I am just a burden, right? Why don''t you go and mingle with your cute junior sisters?"


    " Leave me alone!"


    Long Ming smiled as he got on a single knee, raising his hands and presenting the steaming dish before Mu Qinglian.


    " Senior Sister, Even if you are angry with me, You shouldn''t take out your anger on food." Long Ming spoke with an apologetic tone. " Please reconsider and have a taste of my love and apology."


    Mu Qinglian''s face turned red when she saw Long Ming''s pleading face. " Hmph, Fine¡­ I shall only take a single bite."


    Dipping the pork in sauce, Mu Qinglian blew a bit of smoke and ate it. The moment she put it in her mouth, she felt like an explosion of vors. She was confused, about whether she should chew it faster and take another bite or slow down and savor it.


    After gulping down, Mu Qinglian licked her lips instinctively. Using her chopstick, she took another bite. But she blushed when she saw Long Ming''s smirk.


    " Ahem, Listen¡­ I am just thinking that it would be bad if we waste the food. It''s not like I am eating because it tastes good." Mu Qinglian pouted as she looked away.


    " Well, What you said is truth indeed. How about this, Senior Sister? Please,e and join us in our banquet." Long Ming smiled. " Everyone is missing their Senior Sister Mu, alright?"


    Mu Qinglian nced at Long Ming as she sighed. " Fine, I shalle."


    While flying with Long Ming, Mu Qinglian finally opened her mouth. " Why? Why did you stay back? You can''t just face all the dangers alone."


    " It was precisely the danger that made me unable to let youe with me, Sister Mu." Long Ming smiled. " After all, how can a fine gentleman allow you toe to a mud of problem willingly?"


    " I am not weak." Mu Qinglian argued.


    " It''s not about weakness, Senior Sister." Long Mingughed wryly. " It''s just concern. I can''t see anything happens to you."


    Mu Qinglian felt a mix of sweetness and bitterness in her heart when she heard that.


    Soon, the girls at Solitary Flower Peak turned ecstatic when they saw Mu Qinglianing back with Long Ming.


    " Finally! She hase."


    " Can we start eating already?"


    " Gosh, I am so hungry right now!"


    " You guys! You guys are thinking more about the food?" Mu Qinglian was baffled.


    " Well, The food was getting cold. So, everyone got a bit impatient." Ming Yuexin grinned.


    " Hmph! You guys wait, I will finish all the food!"


    " Noo! Wait! Leave some for me!"


    Long Ming unsealed his premium version of Four Seasons True Wine from the Heavenly Urn of Frozen me and poured into everyone''s cup. Fermenting in a fast forward time inside the urn, the wine already turned into a real immortal wine.


    The meat of the demonic beasts was simply nutritious, and Long Ming''s cooking not only enhanced the vors but also increased qi inside the dishes.


    After licking he woke clean, and all the girls felt satisfied.


    " Ahaha¡­To think it would taste so good!"


    " Ugh, I can''t even move my body right now. I ate so much."


    " Mmm, I can feel the overflow of true qi inside me."


    Long Ming looked at them as he chuckled. " Everyone, please calm down and circte your true qi. Using this chance, you can simply improve your cultivation base. Besides, use the energy of demonic beasts and refine your body and vitality."


    With Long Ming''s instruction, the girls sat cross legged as they started to cultivate. The energy of the Solitary Flower Peak has be denser, so they felt their cultivation speed became faster.


    The effect was more evident for Violet Pce Expansion Realm and True Core Formation Realm disciples.


    Meanwhile, Core Disciples like Lin Xie and Chen Yin just sat to refine their true qi to nourish their bodies. They had already reached the High stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm during their stay in the Herbal Sanctuary.


    " Haah, Brother Long, Your n was truly devilish." Ming Yuexin grinned as she picked her teeth with a toothpick. " To think you would lure all the enemy sect disciples and butcher them down like pigs."


    " Sister Ming, I don''t understand you?" Long Ming shook his head. " It''s them who went in search of treasure and got killed by the monster."


    Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin looked at each other and then at Long Ming.


    With such an innocent face and calm expression, those who don''t know the truth would definitely believe Long Ming.


    " So, What''s your next move, Senior Brother?" Ming Yuexin nced at him. " If you don''t have much to do, why don''t youe to my abode for a few days? We can discuss about dao of sword."


    " Ahaha, Does sister Ming want to only discuss about dao of the sword or¡­something else is mixed with it?" Mu Qinglian nced at Ming Yuexin with a light smile.


    But anyone could see the gathering of dark clouds above Mu Qinglian''s head.


    However, Ming Yuexin didn''t back down as she smiled coyly. " Well, A discussion can go very deeply. Sister Qinglian. Besides, I would definitely like to taste Brother Long''s sword once again."


    Long Ming almost spat out the wine he was drinking. Ming Yuexin wasn''t even trying to hide the ambigiousness at all.


    " I see, I see¡­ It looks like Long Ming and Sister Ming have been training together for quite some time."


    Long Ming sighed as he gulped the wine. He just felt he would see whatever happens.


    " Actually, I guess my next trip shall be the Holy Qilin City." Long Ming remembered Jiang Wanxue''s words as he spoke in a light voice.


    " Holy Qilin City? Hmm, The second part of the Imperial Tournament is going to happen there though." Ming Yuexin thought for a moment as she spoke.


    The expedition of Azure Sun Secret Realm already ended. Since disciples already gained various resources, the second part of the tournament shows their gains in practical way.


    It was simply a duel match where the winners would get fame and treasurss from Imperial Family.


    In the past, Four Seasons Valley performed poorly. After Mu Qinglian''s rise, many young disciples of various sects tried topete with her. But other than her, none of the other disciples of Four Seasons Valley got any limelight.


    However, Long Ming felt this time, that the Four Seasons Valley going to be a dark horse that was going to trample every sect in the tournament.


    " Actually, How did the Holy Qilin Empire rise actually?" Long Ming was a bit curious.


    " Well, It happened right a few centuries after the battle between our sect and Sky Martial Tower. At that time, Four Seasons Valley, which was a powerful pir of Eastern Province crumbled, leaving a huge vacancy in power."


    " The Southern Barbarians along with some demonic sectsunched an attack to capture the entire Eastern Province."


    " When the individual sects realized they alone can''t defeat them, they all gathered together and formed a coalition."


    " At that time, a mysterious force came from outside, bringing a great aid to the sects and families."


    " After the fight between the demonic path and the righteous path, the mysterious force got the biggest victory and acquired all thend taken by demonic path followers."


    " Gathering all people and controlling all thend, the leader became the first emperor of the Holy Qilin Empire and founded the empire. After that, with his thunderous means, he managed to acquire control of various sects and families, slowly spreading his empire across the Easter Province."


    " Many sects couldn''t defy the power of Holy Qilin Empire and submitted to them. The sect retained their independence, yet they agreed to stay under Holy Qilin Empire and gave up theirnds."


    " Honestly, only Four Seasons Valley refused to give into the Holy Qilin Empire''s demands. If we had agreed, the entire eastern coast area would havee under their control.''


    Long Ming was shocked when he heard the tale of the Holy Qilin Empire. Remembering how the imperial aura of qilin protected the fate and identity of Jiang Wanxue back then, Long Ming felt some connections with it.


    '' Is it a unique cultivation method? Creating an empire and being an emperor, emperors are said to be blessed by the luck of nation and fortunes of heaven.''


    '' Does conquering morend and increasing the influence of the empire make the Imperial Family and the emperor more powerful?''


    Long Ming remembered some theories as he tried to conclude. However, he decided to put the matters in check before he got any evidence.


    " There is still a time of a month before the Battle Tournament starts." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    " Well, I think I should travel around a bit then, before going to Holy Qilin City." Long Ming chuckled. " I really wanted to see the world outside."


    " Haha, Is that so?"


    Mu Qinglian nced at Long Ming as she suddenly spoke. " How about both of us going outside?"


    " Huh?"


    Bith Ming Yuexin and Long Ming became startled as they looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " I¡­I mean, I know a lot of good ces outside. I can take Long Ming there and¡­train. Yes, We can train and increase our worldly experience." Mu Qinglian blushed as she hurriedly added.


    Ming Yuexin nced at Mu Qinglian as a strange smile appeared on her face. " Well? How about this? Allow Brother Long to stay with me for a few days and you can take him afterward?''


    It was indirectly a way of telling Mu Qinglian to share Long Ming.


    " Yo-You¡­ Hmph! Do whatever you want!" Mu Qinglian puffed her cheeks as she became annoyed.


    As the sun set, everyone was either cultivating or having fun at Solitary Flower Peak.


    Long Ming suddenly remembered something as he packed some food and got up.


    " I have to meet Master. Hehe¡­ I wonder about her thoughts about my proposal. Keke¡­"

 Chapter 172 A Real Massage?

    Chapter 172 A Real Massage?


    Looking at the setting sun, Long Ming sighed lightly. He slowed down his flying speed as he looked at the scenery. However, his mind was still in turmoil when he remembered Xia Yuqing''s words.


    The moment he saw Xia Yuqing for the first time, an irresistible desire to conquer her was born in his heart. The me burned even more when Xia Yuqing used her full authority on him, making him submit to the sect.


    Long Ming didn''t me Xia Yuqing for that. After all, in the world of cultivation, one needs to be ruthless when the timees. Else, they would lose everything to the merciless world.


    Xia Yuqing used her iron hand rule to preserve Four Seasons Valley for years, keeping it safe from wolves like the Imperial Family, Blissful Heaven Temple, and Sky Martial Tower.


    She was right to be suspicious of Long Ming in every regard, as a genius like Long Ming can''t just drop from the sky into their sect. But Long Ming also saw a gradual change in Xia Yuqing''s attitude as time passed.


    '' But that doesn''t mean my feelings towards her vanished. No matter what, she is still irresistible as ever.'' Long Ming smacked his lips when he thought of the figure of Xia Yuqing.


    '' Wait, Why my thoughts are getting so lewd? It''s like¡­ I am thinking much more lustfully than normal.'' Long Ming suddenly felt something was amiss. " Wait a second¡­ Could it be¡­ It''s the side effect of Incubus''s Bloodline and Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Springs Art?" Long Ming blurted out when he thought about that.


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is nodding with approval. He is saying, " Hey, Isn''t that a pretty good side effect?"]


    [ Ding! Demon Monarch of Lust is looking at Host with curiosity! He is saying that he would generously give him more fluid if Host requests him]


    Long Ming almost coughed a mouthful of blood when he saw the text. " Bastard! You just gave me blood, Alright? It''s blood!"


    " Why are you using the term ''Fluid''? Can''t you see how weird it seems?" Long Ming exploded with rage.


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is asking Host if he is willing to purchase something from him for 10 Star Coins?]


    " Huh? Something for 10 Star Coins?" Long Ming was interested. Currently, he has a bit more than 200 Star Coins. So, 10 Star Coins isn''t that much.


    [ Purple Candles of Ecstasy: A set of eight candles made with various natural oils and the extract of spring where fairies baths. Lighting the candle would increase the tranquility and romance between the people in a small, dimly lit room. Perfect for doing some sweet and naughty things in the dark]


    " So, It''s like an aroma candle with a bit of love potion?" Long Ming was surprised when he saw the description of the item. " Wait a second, Bathing spring of fairies? So¡­ You used the bath water of fairies?" Long Ming''s expression turned peculiar when he noticed the fact.


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Worlds is shrugging. He is saying such things are precious and fetch a lot of money anywhere]


    [ Ding! Demon Monarch of Lust is asking why not buy his bath water. He can easilypete with those fairies.]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine Worlds is showing a middle finger to the Demon Monarch of Lust]


    Long Ming sighed when he saw both of them were bickering once again. '' I wonder if there is any history between Harem King of Nine Worlds and Demon Monarch of Lust. Why do I smell some ambiguousness in their rtionship?''


    " Well, Mr. Great Crow, What are you going to do with the corpse and the shell like mound of Pale Mountain Abyss Demon?" Long Ming looked at the screen as he asked.


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is saying that the monster has a unique and unusual origin, making him interested. He is also adding the fact that the shell like mound is an ultra rare natural treasure of the universe which can be called a miracle]


    " Is that so? No wonder you decided to give me a divine grade treasure like Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physique and other things as rewards." Long Ming chuckled.


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries reminds the Host that the power of the physique isn''t absolute, and neither is the power of qi and soul. There are countless realms and countless paths towards the Grand Dao. Only a true dao heart without any blemish can be your true strength]


    [ If you possess such a dao heart, you can evenpete with Heavenly Emperor even if you are a mortal]


    Long Ming was shocked when he saw the text. Even if they were just words, he could feel the imposing aura behind them.


    Imagine, believing in one''s self, a mortal standing before the army of gods and demons. For most people, it was nothing more than an act of suicide. However, what if the mortal kills the army with a single sh? That''s the power of the universe and the Grand Dao itself.


    Soon, he reached the Deste Winter Pce as he stepped inside.


    " Greetings, Master. Your humble and faithful disciple has arrived." Long Ming cupped " Anyway, I don''t have time to think about such profundities. I have other priorities." Long Ming chuckled as he purchased the Purple Ecstasy Candles.


    Soon, he reached the Deste Winter Pce as he stepped inside.


    " Greetings, Master. Your humble and faithful disciple has arrived." Long Ming cupped his fists as he nced forward.


    " En, You havee." Xia Yuqing''s voice drifted out. " I heard you were doing a feast on Solitary Flower Peak?"


    " It was a party to celebrate the sess in Azure Sun Secret Realm, Master. I wanted everyone to calm down and rx a bit." Long Ming smiled.


    Walking to a table, he quickly ced steaming hot dishes and poured wine into a ss.


    " I also cooked a portion for you, Master. Please, have a bite." Long Ming chuckled after setting up the table.


    Xia Yuqing wore a light blue colored dress. Unlike her usual robe, she wore a lighter dress, revealing an ample amount of her arms and feet. She sat on the chair as he bent a bit. Long Ming took a glimpse of the deep ravine between her mountains, making his blood rush in excitement. However, his expression remained calm as usual.


    " I have to admit, Master. Even with such casual and simple clothes, you are as beautiful as ever." " Quite the ttery. Is this how you chase after the girls?" Xia Yuqing snorted lightly as she looked at the dishes. She used her chopstick and took a bite.


    Closing her eyes, she savored the taste. " Mm¡­It''s delicious. You said you cooked yourself?"


    " Of course, Master. Why would I lie?" Long Ming pouted. " Can''t you see? I have skills to back up my ability of skirt chasing." Xia Yuqing sighed when she heard Long Ming. She focused on eating as she swiftly finished the tes. Long Ming, who already expected such an oue quickly refilled her tes.


    " H-Huh?"


    Suddenly, Xia Yuqing shivered when she felt Long Ming''s palm on the back of her shoulders. She instinctively attacked Long Ming, but Long Ming''s voice made him pause.


    " Master, You have been working too hard. Why don''t you let me rx you a bit while you are eating?"


    Long Ming''s eloquent voice along with his Deste Immortal Aura was simply charming. Xia Yuqing suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart when she heard Long Ming''s proposal.


    She could feel Long Ming''s voice was truly like a soothing angel yet it also felt like an enticing and charming demon.


    Long Ming used the Ecstatic Cloud Palm and kneaded the shoulders of Xia Yuqing. With his experience and Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see the acupoints on the back of Xia Yuqing and used his Fragrant Yin Qi to stimte them.


    " Uhhnnghhh¡­"


    Xia Yuqing drank wine as she closed her eyes, making a soft and muffled sigh. A moment ago, she truly wished to p Long Ming like a fly. But now, she can''t even ask him to stop.


    " I see¡­ You weren''t lying when you said you have some massage technique." Xia Yuqing sighed with rxation. " Yeah¡­ That''s the spot¡­ Rub a bit harder."


    No wonder he managed to make so many girls fall for him, Xia Yuqing sighed in her heart. Long Ming really armed himself with suitable and devilish techniques to weaken the opposite sex.


    " Huh? Why did you stop?" Xia Yuqing opened her eyes as she turned around and looked at Long Ming.


    " Well, Master, I can''t get that¡­You know, feel." Long Ming pretended to be thoughtful. " I feel, I can''t perform the massage well, As it should be."


    " But I felt good though?" Xia Yuqing replied with a doubt. Long Ming shook his head.


    " It''s different." Long Ming''s expression turned serious as he looked at Xia Yuqing. " Master, while you were eating, you can simply float the food and eat it, right? Why did you you chopstick?"


    " Because¡­ It felt more fulfilling and natural?" Xia Yuqing thought for a moment as she replied. "Besides, it''s less mental and energy consuming than using qi to float the food and eat it."


    " Exactly, Just like that¡­ A true massage technique is simply iplete without skin contact." Long Ming spoke with a righteous voice.


    " To get the best experience, you need to set up the room and mood and take off your clothes."


    " Only aplete body massage can be called a true massage!" Xia Yuqing''s face turned dark when she heard Long Ming''s awe imposing and righteous voice. " I see, That''s your n all along, huh?" Xia Yuqing tapped on his seat as her voice became cold. " I truly made a lustful serpent the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    " It was merely a suggestion."


    Long Ming suddenly entered into ttering mode from imposing mode. " I shall do whatever Master shall say. But, I hope you consider my request."


    Xia Yuqing sighed as her face turned a bit of red.


    " Pervert."

 Chapter 173 Sect Master Succumbing To Pleasure

    Chapter 173 Sect Master Sumbing To Pleasure


    Xia Yuqing sighed deeply as she could see Long Ming''s intention without any effort. '' Damn it, To think I would get cornered by my own disciple.'' Xia Yuqing bit her lips. '' B-But his massage was so¡­good. I mean, It definitely has a rxing effect on the body.'' She struggled inwardly.


    Long Ming could see the effect of 85 points of favorability as he didn''t get swatted to death by Xia Yuqing.


    '' Interesting, Did Harem King of Nine World foresee such an oue and use the opportunity to sell me those candles?'' Long Ming pondered. However, since Xia Yuqing didn''t reject his idea immediately, it gave an advantage to Long Ming.


    " Master, Are you thinking I might do something inappropriate?" Long Ming kept massaging Xia Yuqing''s shoulders. " I am your loyal and faithful disciple. Besides, you are a such a mighty cultivator who can kill me with a p of her hands."


    " Are you really scared of me?"


    " Scared? Why would I?" Xia Yuqing snorted. She could see Long Ming was goading her ording to his intention. However, it made her annoyed and amused at the same time.


    " Fine, You want to massage? Alright, Wear this then." Xia Yuqing tapped her finger on her seat as she vanished for a moment. After a while, she came back with a piece of ck clothing.


    " Here, Wear this and we get to go."


    " You want to blindfold me?" Long Ming was a bit surprised. '' Hehe, Could it be¡­


    Master is that naive?''


    Long Ming had his faith in his Heavenly Revtion Eyes. Besides, his powerful divine sense is also like a visual organ for him.


    Xia Yuqing''s lips curled upward when she saw Long Ming''s smirk. Long Ming didn''t waste any time as he walked into Xia Yuqing''s room.


    " This¡­ Master''s bedroom is pretty elegant."


    It was Long Ming''s first time seeing Xia Yuqing''s bedroom. It was prettyrge, with a bed made of ancient spirit woods with an elegant design. There was also a table for study and meeting purposes on the side.


    Long Ming could also see a small water basin near the window, where Xia Yuqing was that no matter how cold Xia Yuqing appeared outside, she still had her moment of elegance and rxation.


    raising some Turbid Water Lily and other exotic water nts.


    There was also a small bookshelf, filled with various scrolls and books. One could see that no matter how cold Xia Yuqing appeared outside, she still had her moment of elegance and rxation.


    Long Ming rubbed his palms as he put out all themps and lit up the Purple Ecstasy Candles. The purple candles burned slowly with a dim radiance as a pleasant fragrance drifted out from it.


    " What type of candles are they? They are smelling good." Xia Yuqing felt like her body was getting a bit rxed when she inhaled the fragrance. " These are aroma candles, Master." Long Ming grinned." It would help you to rx even more during the massage."


    Xia Yuqing only gave a light nod as she walked behind Long Ming, blindfolding her neatly. With her sudden movements, Long Ming had no room to protest.


    After blindfolding him, Xia Yuqing raised her finger and struck the forehead of Long Ming.


    " Ouch!!"


    Long Ming winced in pain as a strange heaviness appeared on his soul. His vision was already dark. And when he tried to use his divine sense, he felt like his spiritual qi turned very sluggish.


    " I have blocked your spiritual qi, so you can''t use your divine sense." Xia Yuqing''s voice echoed, mixed with pride and victory.


    Long Ming hurriedly tried to use his Heavenly Revtion Eyes. But to his surprise, he realized he could barely see anything through the clothing.


    It was very faint and shadowy. She could barely distinguish Xia Yuqing''s figure.


    " This¡­What kind of cloth is this? Why I can''t see through it?" Long Ming didn''t hide his surprised and asked right away.


    " A piece of craft casually made by Empress Winter Song." Xia Yuqing gave an audible chuckle. " Although it doesn''t posses the abilities of an Imperial Treasure, it''s a pretty tough and resilient clothing imbued with a bit of Heavenly Emperor''s aura."


    Long Ming almost cursed aloud when he heard that. It looks like Xia Yuqing already nned countermeasures for Long Ming. However, Long Ming had to admit the power of his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    Even covered by such a cloth, he could at least see through it, albeit only a bit.


    " Alright, You win, Master." Long Ming sighed. " But, Can we start now? I don''t think we should dy it unnecessarily."


    " Well¡­ Since you insist¡­"


    Xia Yuqing blushed as she clenched her fists. " Can you..can you turn around?"


    " But I am already blindfolded, though?"


    Xia Yuqing was amidst her hesitation when she heard that. Although she had her full confidence in that blindfold, she felt the situation was pretty embarrassing.


    " Ahem¡­ I am¡­taking off my clothes."


    Long Ming tried his best to not look at her obviously. But he could see her figure moving as her robes fell off from her body. Even though he couldn''t see much, he could see the curves of Xia Yuqing getting exposed to air.


    What''s more, the little visual and the blindfold left his imagination open. And the more his imagination worked, the more aroused he got.


    '' No-No, Calm down. It''s not the right time.'' Long Ming took some light breaths as he tried to calm his heart down.


    With some creaking sound, Xia Yuqing got on the bed,ying on her belly. Long Ming shook his head as he spoke, " Master, Are you in bed?"


    " Y-Yes¡­"


    Xia Yuqing felt her entire body was like a burning hot iron. The shame and embarrassment made her bury her face in her pillow. She could see Long Ming slowly stepping towards the bed like a blind man. Soon, he also got on the bed as his palm gently caressed the bare back of Xia Yuqing.


    Xia Yuqing''s entire body shivered as fine goosebumps appeared on her skin. She never thought she would beying the bed in such apromising position and in front of her male disciple!


    " What are you doing?" Xia Yuqing asked with a bit of authority. Long Ming gave a sheepish grin. " As you can see, I am feeling your body. I am currently blind after all, right?"


    "Besides, I would be touching you during the massage, no?"


    Xia Yuqing remained silent as she felt Long Ming''s words were reasonable.


    Anyway, since she already decided to get into the mud, she might as well get dirty as much as she gets.


    Long Ming''s Fragran Yin Qi swirled around his palm as he ced both of his palm on Xia Yuqing''s back. He could feel the faint fragrance of Xia Yuqing''s body. The scent of her mature body was like jasmine blooming in the night, a fragrance that can someone intoxicated.


    " Mhhnngh!~"


    Xia Yuqing gasped as she hurriedly closed her mouth. The moment Long Ming started to use his Ecstatic Cloud Palm and massaged her back, Xia Yuqing felt like her body entered a different realm, a realm of pleasure. She could feel a strange energy escaping gushing into her body through Long Ming''s palm. However, instead of harming her, it simply passed through her body like a sieve, filtering and polishing her flesh and qi.


    Not to mention, it also had some simrities to the Rejuvenated Spring Qi whiches from the Returning Spring Flowing Energy Art.


    Long Ming''s palm kept kneading the soft back of Xia Yuqing. Tapping her nape, Long Ming''s palm slowly descended further. " Hnngh¡­Wh-Where are¡­ you touching?" Xia Yuqing gasped in pleasure and surprise when she felt Long Ming was palm now patting her ass.


    " Well, Master, You ass¡­ I mean, your rear and thighs also need some massage, right?" Long Ming chuckled. " After all, you are sitting so much, they might get stiff¡­"


    " Unnghhh!~"


    Long Ming squeezed the ass which was like perfectly made dough, soft and stic. Long Ming barely resisted the urge to spank them as he kept massaging them thoroughly.


    Xia Yuqing felt like she was unable to suppress her moans. She could feel her muscles getting rxed and her body fatigue lessening. The feeling from her back, her thigh, her feet, Long Ming didn''t spare a single part of her back.


    " Hnngh¡­Why this feels¡­so weird¡­" Xia Yuqing bit her lips as she clenched the bedsheet tightly. When Long Ming kneaded her ass,s he felt a strange fire spread through her body and mind.


    It was like her body was like a dried piece ofnd, which craved the touch of Long Ming''s palm. The more Long Ming massaged, the more she felt the craving.


    She felt like if Long Ming didn''t stop, she would probably turn around and ask him to massage her front.


    A sudden rity hit Xia Yuqing''s head as she took a deep breath. " Long¡­Long Ming¡­


    You can stop¡­"


    " Huh? I thought you wanted a thorough massage¡­"


    " I said¡­Stop and leave. You already did well and I am thankful for it¡­" Xia Yuqing panted as she looked back at Long Ming.


    " But Master¡­"


    Long Ming suddenly stopped speaking as he felt a chilling icy aura. He realized Xia Yuqing would definitely beat him if he didn''t get out.


    Standing up, he bowed. " As you say, Master¡­"


    Xia Yuqing was about to say something, but seeing the bulge in Long Ming''s pants, she was shocked. It was like Long Ming was hiding a stiff hidden weapon in his pants. She felt like it was on the verge of ripping the pants apart and springing out with all its might.


    And the size, it was truly made arge tent out of his pants.


    Without saying anything, Long Ming turned around and left. Seeing Long Ming was finally outside of Deste Winter Pce,Xia Yuqing rolled on the bed crazily.


    " Damn¡­What the hell with that size? It was so big¡­" Xia Yuqing felt a fire burning in her abdomen as her fingers swiftly slipped between her thighs. She simply forgot her surroundings and the passing time.


    The candles burned slowly, the same as Xia Yuqing''s desire. She was like thirty people, desperately trying to quench her urges.


    " Huhuhu, Big Sister Xia, What are you doing inside? I have returned from¡­"


    " Huh?!"


    " Ahh!"


    Meng Zhi halted her step as she saw Xia Yuqing on the bed. Suddenly, a devious grin appeared on her face as she licked her lips.


    " Oh my¡­We got a situation here¡­"

 Chapter 174 Evil Meng Zhi

    <h4>Chapter 174 Evil Meng Zhi</h4>


    " My my, Has the sun risen from the west?"


    " Meng Zhi, It''s¡­It''s not what you think." Xia Yuqing hurriedly wrapped herself with the bedsheet as her cheeks flushed.


    " Oh. Big Sister, I know what is what." Meng Zhi grinned. " Well, I told you, As a maturedy, it''s perfectly fine to relieve some urges."


    " Wh-What nonsense are you speaking?" Xia Yuqing stuttered as she looked away.


    " Well, Didn''t I report youst time? How Mytle Cucumbers and Spirit Eggnts were getting consumed a bit too much after Long Ming''s arrival? Don''t tell me you think our disciples suddenly started to eat healthy?"


    " Th-That¡­"


    Xia Yuqing was bbergasted for a moment. Thanks to someone experienced at Meng Zhi beside her, Xia Yuqing knew the other usages of those vegetables.


    But to think all these things were linked together with Long Ming¡­


    " So, Did you see his size?" Meng Zhi sat on Xia Yuqing''s bed as she raised her eyebrows. " It was magnificent, right?"


    " Wh-Why do you seem to know his size well?" Xia Yuqing nced at Meng Zhi as she wore her undergarments.


    " My dear sister, Are you forgetting I am the administrator of Eternal Spring Tower?" Meng Zhi grinned. " Long Ming spent so many nights there."


    " You peeked at him while he was having sex with courtesans?" Xia Yuqing''s expression turned mildly disturbed as she nced at Meng Zhi.


    " Ayooo, I didn''t say I did that?" Meng Zhi gave an innocent expression. " My girls told me that. They were simply amazed by the size and his sheer strength. After him, they feel all men are inferior, you know?"


    Although Xia Yuqing felt like Meng Zhi''s words held some truth, she also knew that Meng Zhi must have peeked while Long Ming was having fun. She knew Meng Zhi so well, so Xia Yuqing felt Meng Zhi wouldn''t have let go of that chance.


    " Anyway, I am his master. I can''t let him go astray." Xia Yuqing snorted. " I guess I need to stop him from going to the Eternal Spring Tower too much."


    " Sister Xia, Aren''t you kicking on my livelihood now?" Meng Zhi pouted. " Besides, Who said Master and Disciple can''t have a rtionship? There are so many examples where master and disciples dual cultivated¡­"


    " Meng Zhi, If you don''t stop at this moment¡­" Xia Yuqing''s face turned dark as a sword flew into her hands.


    " Then I shall cut off the budget of Eternal Spring Tower."


    " Noooo! You can''t do that!"


    " Then stop talking about that matter." Xia Yuqing''s voice was cold. " Nothing happened here."


    " Yes, Sister Xia." Meng Zhi nodded hurriedly. " I didn''t see the Sect Master masturbating while thinking about her disciple-"


    " MENG ZHI!!!"


    A ray of icy light shot out as the entire area turned frozen. Meng Zhi chuckled as she waved her hands which swiftly caught the ray of icy light and averted it into another direction.


    However, the force of that icy ray was too much for Meng Zhi, making pushback a few steps. She felt her palm turned numb from the cold as she grinned.


    " Speak, Why did youe here?" Xia Yuqing calmed her breathing as she nced at Xia Yuqing.


    " Nothing particr. I was here to submit the monthly report of Eternal Spring Tower as usual. Besides, Some other news regarding the various factions of Eastern Province." Meng Zhi replied lightly.


    " The death of Fourth Prince Qin Chen has be a hot topic in the Holy Qilin City. Various factions of the Imperial Family got a chance to sharpen their edge against each other." Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " Any implications toward our Four Seasons Valley?" Xia Yuqing looked at Meng Zhi with curiosity.


    "?Not yet¡­I guess our alibi worked well?" Meng Zhu gave a mild smile. " Besides, since the personst saw the Fourth Prince was the Third Prince Qin Zhong, he was bearing most suspicions."


    " That''s good. The less people know about the fact that we have aquired the Azure Sun Secret Realm back, the more advantageous it is for us."


    " Indeed, Big Sister is wise." Meng Zhi nodded as she walked close to Xia Yuqing.


    " So, What''s your n now, Big Sister?"


    " Before the battle tournament, I wish to train all my disciples for it." Xia Yuqing''s expression was determined. " I will let the entire Eastern Province see that our Four Seasons Valley is still standing proud."


    " It will definitely happen, Sister Meng." Meng Zhi smiled.


    " Alright, Is there anything else?"


    " Yes." Meng Zhi nced at Xia Yuqing''s chest. " I think they have grown more thanst time. I should check it with my own hands¡­"


    Xia Yuqing was stunned when


    " MENG¡­ZHIII!!!!!!"


    " Aigooo!"


    Meng Zhi vanished from her position as her giggle drifted into the room. Xia Yiqng''s chest rose and fell as her face waspletely red with anger and shame.


    " Damn it! She escaped so fast!" Xia Yuqing cursed. " Next time, I would give her a good spanking."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    *SNIFF SNIFF*


    Long Ming sniffed his palm with a dazed expression as he walked back to his Solitary Flower Peak.


    '' To think I actually managed to make Master allow me to massage her.'' Long Ming looked at the giant tent in his pants as he sighed.


    ''It was really going good, but I guess Master couldn''t endure anymore.'' He pondered inwardly.


    However, this action probably created a crack in Xia Yuqing''s heart. As long as Long Ming managed to exploit that crack, it wasn''t impossible to make Xia Yuqing fall for him.


    As he calmed his heart and little brother down, he saw a familiar figure streaking across the sky. Long Ming used his Raging Storm Wings and flew into the sky.


    " Greetings, Elder Hao. I hope you are feeling better now?" Long Ming smiled at Hao Tianci.


    " I am feeling rather tired right now." Hao Tianci sighed. " I have been working the spirit gathering formations on the Earth Spirit Veins and opened a sealed Imperial Spirit Vein."


    " From now on, the energy of heaven and earth would be more than abundant in Four Seasons Valley."


    " You have worked hard, Elder Hao." Long Ming cupped his fists and bowed lightly. " You should go back and recover your injuries."


    " Hmm, You are right. But there are still some works to do." Hao Tianci stretched his waist as his expression turned weary.


    " Wait a second, I think you can do it." Elder Hao''s expression turned bright as he nced at Long Ming. " You will do it for me, right?"


    " Errm¡­Yes?" Long Ming scratched his head as he nodded. " What do you wish me to do, Elder Hao?"


    " Go back and retrieve all the treasures in Azure Sun Secret Realm. Since there are not many threats anymore, you can do it easily." Elder Hao smiled. " Besides, You can take all sorts of trials¡­ Although many of them were broken."


    " Here, Take this token. If there any danger arises, crush this token and you will be teleported into the Four Directions Grand Sword Formation. There, you would be safe."


    Long Ming pondered for a moment as he nodded. " I guess I can do that."


    " Very well. Here, Take this token. I hope you have a fruitful journey." Elder Hao waved his hand and vanished from Long Ming''s sight.


    Long Ming sighed as he went to the teleportation formation. Since the teleportation formations of both ces are connected now, disciples of Four Seasons Valley can easily go to Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    Long Ming informed Xiao''er as he left for the Azure Sun Secret Realm. cing high grade spirit stones on the formation, Long Ming vanished as he shot through the spatial tunnel.


    '' Interesting¡­ Since I had both Spatial Light Physique and Heavenly Comprehension Heart, I think I can learn various space attribute techniques and intents pretty well.'' Long Ming nced at the colorful chaos of spatial turbulence as he pondered in his heart.


    Soon, arrived right outside the Central Pce as he looked at the surroundings. It was already night and the full moon was shining in the sky.


    Long Ming noticed a peculiar fact. That the moon here is always a full moon. He guessed it was thews of the secret realm that made it possible.


    " Well, Since I have here, let''s go back to that cave and retrieve some treasures." Long Ming''s wings pped as he rushed straight to the underground cave under the central pce.


    Since the protecting formation around the central pce was down, demonic beasts entered inside it and devoured the corpses of cultivators.


    However, Long Ming didn''t care as he simply activated his Great Mystic Mountain Body and rushed inside.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    His movements were like rumbling thunders, making the demonic beast give him a wide space. And those who tried to stop Long Ming simply turned into a bloody pulp with a swat of his palm.


    The smell of rotting corpses filled the entire cave. However, Long Ming didn''t bother with that as he reached the center.


    With a wave of his hands, he collected the spatial rings from the corpses. He was very curious to check the spatial belt worn by Qin Chen. Since he was the Fourth Prince, there must be some good stuff inside it, right?


    However, What caught his attention was three weapons shining with an unusual aura.


    " The Imperial Weapons which used to restrain the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster?" Long Ming rubbed his palms as his eyes became greedy.


    " Well, Since they are ownerless, How about I take it?"

 Chapter 175 One Week Seclusion

    <h4>Chapter 175 One Week Seclusion</h4>


    Long Ming saw there were three weapons lying on the ground. Although their powerful aura was long gone, they still looked as majestic as ever.


    A spear, a crimson sword, and a bracelet, Long Ming picked three of them.


    " Damn, To think the Pale Mountain Abyss Demon corroded the power of the Imperial Weapons so much." Long Ming took a deep breath. These weapons were sacrificed into the sealing formation to seal the Pale Mountain Abyss Demon.


    However, after thousand of years of resistance from the Pale Mountain Abyss Demon, the imperial weapons were corroded. And almost lost all their Imperial Aura.


    '' Although the Imperial Auar is almost non existent, the materials used the craft the weapons are still superior. Even if someone uses these weapons now, they are still powerful as an Innate type Noble grade weapon.'' Long Ming probed in his heart.


    However, he wasn''t thinking of reusing them. In fact, he was thinking if he could refine these weapons and use the material to craft something else.


    He threw everything into his spatial bracelet and picked the other spatial rings scattered around.


    After that, he came out of the underground passage and walked out from the Central Pce. He could see the crimson ming Mountain near the Central Pce, standing with an imposing might.


    The ming Mountain was one of the toughest trials for the disciples of ancient Four Seasons Valley. But, it was also one of the best ces to cultivate and raise one''s strength.


    " ording to Elder Hao, the remaining elder took all the treasures and manuals and hid them in a cave in the southern sky tower. It was guarded by an Imperial Seal, so no one under the Ancient Lord Realm or Formation Saint could break it." Long Ming disappeared from his position and streaked toward the southern sky tower.


    But since he has the key to open that cave, Long Ming isn''t worried at all. With his Raging Storm Wings, Long Ming swiftly arrived at the southern sky tower.


    Although its name was impressive, it was nothing more than a small tower in a broken state. Even cultivators of Violet Pce Expansion Realm felt searching for treasures here was nothing more than a waste of time.


    However, No one knew that the Four Seasons Valley hid many of their treasures at thest moment due to the attack of the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster.


    Long Ming raised the token as it shone with a bright light. The wall before Long Ming slowly turned into jelly, as a small portal appeared before him.


    Stepping inside, Long Ming could see a small cave lit up with luminescent pearls. He could see several shelves of scriptures and books were kept neatly inside the cave.


    Other than that, there were several boxes, filled with various weapons and treasures. Long Ming saw that the only thingcking there was high grade medicinal pills.


    Although there were some crates filled with pill bottles, Long Ming checked them and noticed that it was only usable for cultivators of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm and below.


    '' But that''s not surprising at all. Perhaps all the higher grade pills got consumed during the war with the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster.'' Long Ming reached a conjecture.


    However, even with the current amount of treasures and resources here, Long Ming was sure that the Four Seasons Valley could nurture their disciples like any big and powerful sect.


    '' Hmm? What''s this?" Long Ming noticed a?long box in the corner and he became curious. He picked up the box and opened it.


    The box was made with Crimson Parsol Tree, a rare tree in the cultivation world. It''s wood used to create various treasures. However, seeing it''s used to make a box made Long Mings surprised.


    " So many sealing runes carved on it. Hehe, the thing inside must be pretty precious as well."


    Long Ming opened the box as suddenly, his hair stood on its end. He felt like he was hearing the screech of a giant bird, enough to burst his eardrums.


    The aura of the demonic beast was like a lightning storm, its aura was enough to suffocate Long Ming. Not to mention, the berserk demonic qi was like a tidal wave, trying to drown Long Ming''s consciousness with it.


    Long Ming hurriedly closed the box as he panted heavily. His forehead was drenched with sweat as he looked at the box with a bit of fear.


    Inside the box, there was a single piece of bone. And the terrifying aura came from the bone itself.


    " This bone must be from a powerful demonic beast of the least peak stage of Dao Refining Realm." Long Ming calmed his heart as he became curious.


    A bone of Dao Refining Realm Demonic Beast is very precious and rare. Long Mind never expected to find one here.


    " Hmm, This is a very precious refinement material. Although I don''t know which demonic beast''s bone it is, I can tell that it''s from a bird type of demonic beast of Wind and Water attribute."


    [ Ding! New Quest has arrived]


    [ Training Montage of Genius]


    [ Since you have gotten so many treasures, The Host should also do his best to absorb the power of all the resources and make it his own]


    [ Quest: In the time of a week, be enough powerful to withstand the power of the Dao Bone of the demonic beast]


    [ Quest reward: A Dark Gold Rank Chest]


    [ Failure: The Comprehension of Nine Ancient Runic Words would vanish]


    Long Ming''s expression turned odd when he saw the quest details. " Damn, I only have the time of a week? That''s too short!"


    Estimating the strength of the bone, if Long Ming tried to refine it right now, he would get seriously injured. He saw that the system had already ssified this bone as the Dao Bone of the demonic beasts, which is ten times more precious than the ordinary bones of the demonic beasts


    If he wanted to refine it, he needed to attain the strength and spiritual qi of at least a Peak stage Harmonization Realm.


    However, he already reached the Minor Stage of Great Mystic Mountain Physique. To reach the Perfection stage, Long Ming needed both time and lots of other natural treasures of heaven and earth.


    " At this moment, I can only increase my spiritual qi first, then increase my proficiency in other techniques." Long Ming sighed.


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is giving you a hint. You can try the trials of the Azure Sun Secret Realm]


    Long Ming''s ears perked up when he read that. Indeed, Since he was protecting the disciples of Four Seasons Valleyst time, Long Ming didn''t participate in the trial of ming Mountain or Enlightenment Lake.


    " Well, Since that''s the case, I should go into secluded cultivation too." Long Ming cracked his knuckles as he gathered all the resources and returned back to the sect.


    Elder Cai, who was looking after the Scripture Pavilion, was shocked when Long Ming returned back with so many techniques.


    " Where the hell you find all these?" Elder Cai almost got a mini heart attack.


    " Hehe, I just found a treasure trove, I guess?" Long Ming grinned.


    After bidding her farewell, Long Ming returned back to Azure Sun''s Secret Realm and went to the Enlightenment Lake first.


    The moonlight was getting reflected by the rippling water of theke as the wind blew gently. Long Ming sat at the bank of the Enlightenment Lake as he felt a strange kind of heaviness when he looked at it.


    As he stared at the surface of theke, he felt like he couldn''t see the reflection of the moon at all.


    He suddenly felt like he could feel various shadowy figures moving on the surface of the water. Theke turned into a gigantic screen, reflecting various scenes.


    Long Ming could see the figures of various ancient cultivators and their techniques. Some used swords, and some used sabers. Various weapons, various techniques, everything shed before Long Ming.


    Theke water rippled as theke slowly became tranquil. Soon, the waves of theke stopped as it turned like a mirror, without a single ripple.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he stood up. Stretching his body, he looked at the mirror like ake and let out a breath.


    " I see¡­This ce is filled with the variousprehensions of all the predecessors of Four Seasons Valley, They all store theirprehension and finding here, sealing in theke."


    Long Ming took a deep breath and took out the remaining five ancient runic words. After pondering, he chose the rune of Destruction.


    A scroll appeared in Long Ming''s mind as it unfurled, showing a pitch ck word: Destruction.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt his soul shaking violently as he gazed at that word.


    The awe imposing feeling of destruction, the power of obliterating anything in an instant, enveloped Long Ming''s soul.


    In Rune Inscription, the basic rune of destruction is used to eliminate unwanted runic chains. Most people treat it as a useless erasing tool. However, if one notices its


    profundity, one can feel the tremendous power hiding inside this word.


    " If I am able to incorporate the aura of destruction in my attacks, my power would increase sharply. Not to mention, I can also boost the power of talismans."


    Long Ming soon fell into meditation as he tried to decipher the mysteries of the ancient runes.

 Chapter 176 Trial of Flaming Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 176 Trial of ming Mountain</h4>


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he closed his eyes. In his heart, he was visualizing the ancient runic words: Seal, Destruction, and Illusion.


    He alreadyprehended the word Unity to its basic extent, so he is focusing on these three.


    However, he realized that incorporating the Destruction rune would be pretty difficult for him for now. After countless visualizations, Long Ming understood the nature of destruction and oblivion.


    Long Ming could now use the intricate runic chains of destruction, increasing the power of offensive-type talismans. As the nature of destruction, it could simply destroy things faster and more thoroughly.


    As he circted the energy, he felt a ck wisp of qiing out from the word destruction. Although it was like a small thread, Long Ming could feel the immense destructive power hiding inside it.


    Unfortunately, it would be too hasty to merge this wisp of ck qi into his technique. Because one wrong step and the wisp of destructive qi can ruin his divine sea.


    " If I keep going, there might be a chance that I wouldprehend the Grand Dao of Destruction." Long Ming let out a breath of turbid air as he focused on the word Illusion.


    Rune of Illusion and Truth, both are two sides of the same coin. The thing is, what is illusion and what is truth?


    Does everything which is perceived by the five senses are truth? Are dreams truly illusions? Who can say what is truth and what is illusion?


    '' In the end, it all depends on one''s heart.'' Long Ming mumbled.


    If one shrouds the entire world with illusion, the illusion bes truth for the world itself. If one has the capability of affecting everyone''s heart, even the earth and sky would be an illusion.


    '' People think Illusion and Truth runes are simply two opposites. However, like flipping a switch, the truth can be an illusion and the illusion can be reality.'' Long Ming''s spiritual qi ripped as he could see the misty allure of the word Illusion.


    However, although this concept was easy, many cultivators wrecked their brains for millenniums to understand this. Comprehension and implementation is the key, which most cultivators couldn''t grasp throughout their lifetimes.


    '' The rune of illusion is used to confuse the runemaster who tries to decipher a formation. While some runes looked easy to decipher, it might be a trap for the runemaster.''


    As the third rune Seal, Long Ming already gained some initial understanding when he got it after saving Jiang Wanxue.


    However,prehending it again, Long Ming felt Illusion and Seal runes were the ones that he could easily incorporate with both his supplementary dao paths and his fighting power.


    ording to most runemasters, a Seal rune is like a power container inside a talisman. It''s the battery where the energy of the talisman is stored. And when triggered, the seal rune breaks, unleashing the power of the talisman.


    However, as another meaning, the Seal rune can simply seal. That''s it, it can simply seal or imprison anything that can be sealed.


    Long Ming felt it was a terrifying prospect if he could use this in battle. He didn''t know how much time passed since he started toprehend the three runes.


    However, he realized if he wanted to progress, rather than devouring everything at once, he should take small bites and savor its taste.


    *RUMBLE RUMBLE*


    Long Ming felt the spiritual qi stirring inside his divine sea as his true core shed with dreamy light. The energy of heaven and earth around him became turbulent as it got sucked by his true core.


    The pitch ck dragon rose from the abyss as it opened its mouth. Suddenly, Long Ming felt his true core getting more and more solid as it absorbed the energy of heaven and earth.


    With a soft cracking noise, Long Ming felt his cultivation base rising. It was unknown how much time had passed. But Long Ming opened his eyes and realized he reached the peak of the True Core Formation Realm, just a step away from the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    " Well well, I hope I get another qi cultivation clearance till the end of this system so I can raise my strength to Primordial Spirit Unification Realm." Long Ming chuckled.


    Only after that, Long Ming would be powerful enough as elders of various sects. He could even fight and escape the clutches of a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator.


    It was already daytime, although Long Ming didn''t know how many hours or days passed. However,prehending the three runes, he felt like his spiritual qi had gotten stronger.


    In fact, rather than increasing his strength, Long Ming felt he could use the power of ancient runic words to contend against the power of the demonic beast''s dao bone.


    " Well, Since that''s the case, Let''s try out something."


    *BOOOM*


    Long Ming jumped as his wings unfurled. He turned into a streak of light as he charged straight to the ming Mountain.


    Not after long, Long Ming could see the stairways leading up to the ming Mountain, It was like the stairs were made up of zing redve stones. The moment Long Ming stepped on it, he felt his body be slightly heavy.


    " I see, The main function of the trial is to put a strain on the qi and physique of the cultivators." Long Ming nodded as his expression became a bit strange.


    " But¡­Isn''t this a bit easy?"


    Long Ming simply used his physical body to climb the mountain. Although he could feel the increase of a little bit of pressure after each step, it was simply like cing a strand of hair on his body.


    " Nine thousand stairs, huh? This going to be easy." Long Ming''s body arched as he started to spring. He simply replied on his body and ran like a horse.


    One thousand, two thousand¡­Six thousand steps were crossed.


    But after that, Long Ming felt like the gravity increased by ten times. However, Long Ming calmed his heart as he activated his Great Mystic Mountain Body.


    *BOOOM BOOOM*


    It was like the pressure decreased by 70% as an illusion of a vast mountain appeared above him. After climbing the remaining two thousand steps, he already reached eight thousand steps.


    The moment he crossed the mark of eight thousand, he realized the mirage of the mountain above his head was trembling.


    Suddenly, the pressure increased yet again, as if an invisible hand pressing down on Long Ming. Even with his Minor Completion Imperial Physique, he felt like it was going to be tough to move forward.


    '' Strange, Why do I feel the difficulty increased purposefully?'' Long Ming panted as he moved forward. Soon, only nine steps were remaining and he could see the summit.


    " Huh?"


    The moment Long Ming reached the 8991''th step, a ze of fire materialized before him, forming into a human figure. Gazing at Long Ming, it suddenly attacked Long Ming.


    Countless fire needles materialized, shooting toward Long Ming. Long Ming realized it was a battle technique of Four Seasons Valley, Shower of Deadly Fire.


    " Hmph! A mere puppet trying to fight against me?" Long Ming chuckled as he raised his fist. Using the Soaring Water Moon Art as he also used his Intent of Water."


    " Ocean Flipping Fist!"


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming''s attack was like a surging tide of water, blocking the attack of the figure and extinguishing its fire. With a crushing fist, Long Ming killed that figure in a few breaths of time.


    "Its power wasparable to Early stage Primordial Spirit Realm." Long Ming thought as he took another step.


    Although he was calling them a step, each step was long and wide like a small arena, where a hundred people can fit at once.


    In the seventh step, another figure made of fire appeared. In the fifth step, Long Ming faced a monster made up of ice. Its power was the peak of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    In the third step, Long Ming faced a figure made up of earth and rocks, and its strength reached the Early stage of the Harmonization Realm.


    " Could it be¡­The trial is adjusted ording to my power?"


    Long Ming became interested. However, thanks to it, his technique andprehension became smoother and efficient.


    As for the final step, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shrunk violently as he hurriedly stepped away.


    *BOOOM*


    A golden statue descended from the sky. It crushed the ground and created a deep crater as itnded. The statue alone was over ten feet tall, and it held a golden saber of five feet.


    Although its expression was stiff as any statue, Long Ming could feel the oppression from the eyes of the statue. The saber hummed as its presence was like a tiger in the mountain.


    Long Ming''s face twitched as he looked at the statue. Suddenly, Long Ming''s body blinked as he backed away a dozen feet a once. The ce where he stood got sliced by fine arcs of golden light.


    The statue merely raised its saber, yet it managed to deliver such fast attacks.


    " This statue carries the power of Half Step Nine Transformations of Soul Realm." Long Ming took a deep breath. " Also, it can use the Intent of Metal and Saber Intent."

 Chapter 177 Pure Solar Spring

    <h4>Chapter 177 Pure Sr Spring</h4>


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Long Ming retreated several steps back as he nced at the golden statue. Despite its size, its movements were nimble. The saber intent was like a roaring tiger, trying to rip Long Ming into pieces.


    " Well, Now it''s a tricky opponent." Long Ming panted as his Great Mystic Mountain Physique erupted. Turning his fist as heavy as the mountain, Long Ming took a step and threw his fist.


    " Ocean Tearing Fist!"


    Using the Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist with his imperial physique, Long Ming''s attack made the ground quake.


    The figure raised its saber as a golden light shone from it. It was like liquid golden flowing over the saber as it met Long Ming''s attack.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The ground quaked cracks spread across like spiderwebs. Both Long Ming and the goldens statue pushed back each other. However, the golden statue got pushed back more than Long Ming.


    " Fuck! To think it injured my fist. Long Ming winced in pain as blood dripped from his fist.


    Although the golden statue got pushed back pretty far, other than a few cracks on its surface, it didn''t suffer much damage.


    '' When I hit it, I felt like I was punching a wall of diamond. The Metal Intent can increase the sharpness of the attack along with the defense of the body by coating it with tough metal.''


    Long Ming grimaced as he saw the statue was getting ready to attack again. Long Ming snorted as he pulled out his Illusiory Lightning and knocked an arrow.


    The arrow filled with his Intent of Arrow as it shone with a cold light. The entire bow charged with a terrifying power as dreamy lightning cracked on it.


    " Hundred Flower Shot!"


    *SWISH SWISH SWISH*


    The moment Long Ming released his nock, the arrow disappeared, turning into hundreds of petals charging at the statue. The statue raised its saber as the saber roared.


    With a swing, the saber unleashed a sharp and menacing arc of golden light breaking the hundreds of falling petals. However, Long Ming used this chance to shoot more than three arrows.


    The statue got pushed back as Long Ming stood from far away and attacked him with arrows. The statue tried to attack him, but Long Ming would simply move swiftly and attack from somewhere else.


    '' Damn it, This bastard is a tough nut to crack.'' Long Ming cursed. But his lips curved as he could see his n was going alright.


    " A bit more¡­ Just a bit more."


    The statue kept using its impressive saber techniques to destroy the arrows of Long Ming. As the number of arrows increased, Long Ming took out an Explosive Arrow and shot at the statue.


    With the Illusiory Lightning Bow, he used the subtle power of hisprehension of Illusion.


    The Explosive Arrow disappeared along with the other arrow shots of the Hundred Flower Shot. The statue didn''t notice any anomaly as he did his best to fend off the iing arrows.


    However, the Explosive Arrow suddenly changed its pathway and shot straight towards the right side chest of the statue.


    *BOOOOM*


    With Long Ming''s precision, power of the Illusory Lightning Bow, and Intent of the Arrow, the arrow was like a needle piercing a potato. And the moment it pieced the right side of the chest, it exploded like a bomb.


    The statue used the power of Metal Intent to toughen up its body, minimizing the damage from the explosion. However, Long Ming suddenly vanished from his position as he used the power of his Spatial Light Body''s instant teleportation.


    He appeared right behind the statue as his fist glowed with the tremendous might of Great Mytsic Mountain Physique.


    " Nine Ocean Returning To Source!"


    The final move of Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist is called Nine Ocean Returning To Source, which is a powerful technique. This attack simply stacks the power of previous attacks, making them ovep more and more.


    In the end, it returns the tremendous power back to the source, making the attack more powerful than any of the previous attacks.


    The front chest of the statue is already badly damaged. However, Long Ming used all his might and attacked the statue from behind.


    A giant mirage of the ocean appeared as waves crashed again and again. The waves merged and turned into a great palm of the ocean, crashing down on the statue.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    The right shoulder of the statue waspletely destroyed as the golden saber flung too far. The statue turned around as it swung its palm.


    Long Ming instantly used the teleportation again as he vanished from there, making the attack of the statue hit the empty ground.


    " Bastard, You already lost your arm and your weapon. Yet, you want to fight?" Long Ming clenched his fist. But then, his Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered as he felt an ominous feeling.


    The statue raised its hand as he made a move towards Long Ming. Suddenly, twelve gigantic arms made of gold appeared out of thin air as they charged toward Long Ming.


    The arms were like the arms of giants, made of pure gold and pulsing with sharp Intent of Metal. Long Ming suddenly took a deep breath as his spiritual qi surged out.


    Raising his hand, he envisioned the power of the Seal rune as he slid it down his finger.


    " Seal!"


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt like his spiritual qi surging like a tidal wave, casting a mysterious power around the statue. Long Ming felt ? of his spiritual qi simply drained.


    Yet, the attack on the statue suddenly stopped, like it was frozen in space. The statue seemed to struggle to push forward the attack with all its might.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked at the statue. He could feel the seal won''t stay for long. However, this much time was enough for him.


    His Raging Storm Wing pped as his boy shifted and arrived before the head of the statue in the blink of an eye. Long Ming''s fist swirled with Fragrant Yin Qi as his Sword Intent erupted.


    Petals blossomed as an intoxicating fragrance spread across the air. Long Ming''s Frgarnt Yin Qi turned into a ray of sword qi, slicing off the neck of the statue.


    Long Ming didn''t stop as he used his Great Mystic Mountain Physique and jumped on the headless statue''s body.


    The moment his physique activated, it was like a hundred million tons of weight crushing on the statue.


    The ground quaked as a deep crater formed under Jun Tianyun. The statue was almost broken, but it still maintained its shape.


    " Holy shit, What materials are used to craft this golden puppet?" Long Ming wiped his blood and sweat as he looked at the statue.


    The moment he climbed out from the crater, he saw the mist above the summit slowly vanishing along with the tremendous pressure around Long Ming.


    It implied that Long Ming had passed all the trials of of ming Mountain.


    Long Ming panted as he sat on a stone. He took out a few medicinal pills and popped them into his mouth, recovering his spiritual qi and true qi.


    '' It looks like directly using the power of the Seal rune costs a huge amount of spiritual qi. I am afraid if not for my powerful spiritual qi and Eternal True Spirit Technique, my soul would have suffered a bacsh.''


    Long Ming sighed as he looked at the summit. Stretching his body, he slowly walked toward the summit.


    The moment he reached the summit, he suddenly felt a breeze of fresh air hitting his nose. With the sweet scent of natural fresh air along with the taste of victory, Long Ming simply gazed at the distance.


    The sun was slolwy rising from the eastern sky, like an orb of heavenly me soaring to the sky, making the world filled with radiance.


    Long Ming explored the summit and saw a small pool of water. The water was simply strange. It looked like a pool of water, but he could see the flowing mes inside the water.


    It didn''t look like magma, just mes flickering inside the water.


    " The one who passed the trial of ming Mountain, you are awarded with the chance to quench your body in the Pure Sr Spring. It shall refine your physique, increasing both your qi cultivation and body cultivation realm."


    The voice echoed in Long Ming''s mind like a mechanical voice, without any emotions.


    " Well, I guess they even recorded a nice instruction manual here, huh?" Long Ming chuckled as he looked at the Pure Sr Spring.


    Suddenly, he thought about something as he took off his clothes. Taking out the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiqiues, Long Ming started to looking if he could cultivate a new physique.


    However, the information contained in the scripture was immense. Long Ming did his best to scan the information and get the one which is useful for him.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he jumped into the water. The moment his body touched the water, his expression changed.


    " Fuck! It''s so hot!"

 Chapter 178 Fighting Against The Dao Bone

    <h4>Chapter 178 Fighting Against The Dao Bone</h4>


    Long Ming filled like his entire body going to melt under the power of the ming water. He activated his Great Mystic Mountain Physique, increasing his weight and the defense of his body.


    However, the burning sensation seems to prate into his body through his tough skin and deep into the marrows.


    '' Such a powerful and potent Fire Qi, it feels like it''s burning me from inside.'' Long Ming cursed. However, as time passed he felt the burning sensation lessening a bit as his body adjusted to the Pure Sr Spring.


    '' Fire¡­ The protector of life and a part of five elements. The force that carries the heat to incinerate anything yet also the warmth to make a person remain alive.''


    '' The finest representation of Yang energy, the fire is one of the natural destructive forces of the universe.''


    Long Minh''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes sparkled as he could feel the profoundness of the Pure Sr Spring. It''s refining the power of the underground fire vein along with the aura of the sun for thousands of years, gathering their essence in the pool.


    Not only did Long Ming feel the spring was refining his body, but he could also feel the convergence of various naturalws of heaven and earth there.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he slowly immersed himself in the Pure Sr Spring.


    The Fire Qi ran like a torrent in his body as it was slowly absorbed by his True Core. However, since he didn''t want to break through into the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, he suppressed the Fire Qi and refined it over and over again.


    Suddenly, his heart thumped as he seemed to realize something. Like a ss shattering sound, he felt like he understood the power of me.


    '' Sun represents pure and yang attributes. Not only does it sustain life, but it also purifies all the filth and evil.''


    '' Fire¡­there are different types of fires¡­But what I want is just like the one in Pure Sr Spring¡­Robust yet subtle, righteous and full of energy.''


    Suddenly, all the burning sensations from the Pure Sr Spring seemed to vanish, as if the mes in the water suddenly got tamed by Long Ming. The mes swirled around Long Ming like a gentle breeze without hurting him.


    Long Ming exhaled a breath of warm air as he could feel his meridians werepletely filled with the flowing mes. Unlike regr me, these are different.


    '' me Qi, similiar to my Scarlet Yang Qi¡­If I merge them¡­''


    Suddenly, the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques appeared before Long Ming as it started flipping, Long Ming caught a glimpse of several heavenly physiques recorded in the scripture.


    However, as time passed, he picked a Royal grade physique called Azure me Royal Body.


    Azure me Royal Body, Pure Sun Royal Body, and Crimson Yang Royal Body can further evolve into Verdant Sun Imperial Body and zing Infernal Imperial Body.


    Long Ming wanted to pick the Verdant Sun Imperial Body. However, for that, He needed to reach at least Perfection Completion of Azure me Royal Body to switch the techniques or Hundred Thousand Essence of Primordial True me.


    Currently, Gathering a single essence of Primordial True me will be a tough job for Long Ming. As for a hundred thousand drops, it was enough for the entire Eastern Province to plunge into chaos.


    Therefore, Long Ming decided to cultivate the royal body first as it would be easy to reach the Initial stage with all the Pure Sr Spring water here. Long Ming took a deep breath as he plunged deep into the pool.


    He activated his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique and the pitch ck dragon swirled inside his divine sea. He also used his Scarlet Jade Great Body Art as a catalyst and circted his Scarlet Yang Qi,


    *BOOM BOOM*


    His true core hummed as Fire Qi circted around like rolling waves. His divine sea turned bright as the scorching waves of energy filled it. The pitch ck dragon opened its mouth and sucked all the qi inside its mouth, assimting in Long Ming''s body.


    Long Ming recalled the records of Azure me Royal Body as he circted Fire Qi ording to it. Condensing the mes inside his body, Long Ming started to refine it.


    As its name implied the azure mes contained the power of both fire and wood. Its cerulean azure color represents the cycle of wood getting fed to fire the energy of fire sustaining wood.


    Although the azure me''s power is rtively weaker than the Pure Sun fire or Crimson Yang fire, its me is perfect for cksmithing and pill refining.


    Unlike various me attribute techniques, the Azure Sun Royal Body allows a person to create azure blue mes naturally, increasing its proficiency by arge margin. Besides, Its affinity toward wood makes it exceptional for pill refinement.


    The Pure Sr Spring bubbled as a vortex formed while Long Ming remained in the center of the vortex. The powerful fire qi surged as it was devoured by Long Ming.


    Long Ming felt a burning sensation throughout his body as if he was getting med alive. Although the pain was lesspared to when he got the Great Mystic Mountain Physique for the first time, it was still enough to make him grow crazy.


    After spending an unknown amount of time, Long Ming felt he achieved a special kind of connection with the mes. Thanks to the help of Pure Sr Spring and the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques, Long Ming managed toprehend the Intent of Fire.


    And the moment heprehended it, he felt the refinement of Azure me Royal Body became easier.


    The water of Pure Sr Spring dried up as it got absorbed by Long Ming. Long Ming felt both his body and energy underwent a qualitative transformation.


    '' And, I finally reached the Initial Completion stage of Azure me Royal Body in one go.''


    Long Ming''s entire body was covered with a halo of azure blue mes. Unlike the mes of Ming Yuexin''s Scorching Summer me Qi, Long Ming''s azure me Qi was pretty gentle as it flowed like water.


    However, Only Long Ming knew that if he were to use this azure me, the effect would be pretty devastating.


    '' If I were to face the golden statue again, I can defeat him with only ? of the previous time.'' Long Ming grinned as he got up. He saw the water of the Pure Sr Spring almost reduced by ?.


    '' If I were to cultivate here, I could simply cross the Minior Physique Tribtion of Azure me Royal Body. However, if my foundations be shallow, I might not be able to reach the Perfection stage.''


    Other than devouring rare resources, one needs to temper their physiques with battles andprehension. If one simply relies on various medicines and treasures to rush forward their physique cultivation, the chances of death during the physique tribtion would increase by 70%.


    That''s why a number of physique cultivators is lesser than qi cultivators. But it wasn''t a concerning issue for Long Ming.


    '' Should I take some of the Pure Sr Spring water outside? Hmm, I wonder if my bathwater would sell amidst the female cultivators?'' Long Ming rubbed his palm.


    But then, he realized that if he took out the water from the spring, its effectiveness would be halved. Long Ming pondered as suddenly, his eyes shone as he saw the bottom of the spring. There are various big and small crimson pebbles lying.


    The moment Long Ming touched it, he was surprised as they were filled with robust Intent of Fire. There are a lot of them lying here, probably condensed due to the water of Pure Sr Spring. Long Ming didn''t waste any time as he collected those pebbles.


    Long Ming walked out from the spring as he looked at the sky, Since his strength had increased once again and he mastered the runes of Seal, Destruction, and Illusion, he opened his system window the check the deadline of the quest.


    '' There are only 6 hours remaining? So, I already spent more than a week here?'' Long Ming was shocked as he realized that fact. However, since that''s the case, he decided to open the sealed box and take out the dao bone of the demonic beast/


    *SCCREEEEECH!*


    Long Ming felt his eardrums exploding as a terrifying aura assaulted him the moment he opened that box. A gigantic shadow spread its wings in the sky as it created powerful pressure on Long Ming.


    However, this time, Long Ming didn''t back away. Already experienced with such pressure, Long Ming used his Eternal True Spirit Art as his spiritual qi rolled out.


    As the intense wave of demonic qi tried to oppress his mind, his spiritual qi blocked that attack. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he finally saw the true self of that dao bone.


    With the body covered with feathers of arctic blue as it coursed with wind and lightning, a gigantic bird projected out from the dao bone. The bird was like a phoenix, yet it had three royal blue eyes, staring at Long Ming with malice. The wings spanned across a hundred meters as it was like a massive heavenly bird.


    Long Ming clenched his fist as he took a step forward. His goal was to grab that dao bone and refine it. However, as he came closer, the projection of that bird attacked him.


    With Rgaing Storm Wings unfurling, Long Ming used his own tribtion lightning qi as he fought against the aura of the giant demonic bird. His Great Mystic Mountain Physique activated, him him the strength to not get pushed back.


    '' This dao bone is mine!''

 Chapter 179 Power of Lightning and Wind

    <h4>Chapter 179 Power of Lightning and Wind</h4>


    Long Ming could feel small andrge cuts appearing on his body as he felt the terrifying sharp windced with lightning from the giant bird. He created a barrier of tribtion lightning around his body and resisted the lightning qi of that bird.


    '' Fucking hell! How can a demonic beast retain so much of its power in its bone even after death? What''s its real strength when it was alive?'' Long Ming cursed as he moved forward.


    Suddenly, he thought about something as his eyes gleamed with a strange light. He retracted all his physiques and activated his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    Although there was no property of its own other than devouring and concealment, it''s still an Ancient Heaven Grade special physique. Suddenly, a paramount suppressive aura erupted from Long Ming''s body as an illusory body of a pitch ck dragon appeared from Long Ming''s body as it gazed at the projection of that bird.


    The bird felt an instinctive fear as its malevolent aura toward Long Ming decreased a bit. Long Ming grinned as shot toward the floating bone like a hawk.


    " ARRGH!!"


    Long Ming felt a pulsing energy of wind and lightning rampaging through his body. It was like he was standing naked on the mountain peak, the stormy wind and crackling lightning bombing on his body.


    " FUCK! YOU THINK I CAN''T SUBDUE YOU?!"


    Long Ming cursed loudly as he could feel the bone was trying get away from his grip. However, even with it''s violent struggles, Long Ming didn''t let go.


    But then, a thought crossed his mind as his lips curled. " Well, if I can''r fight against you¡­ I can be one with you, right?"


    Long Ming clenched his fist as he absorbed the dao bone and threw it into his divine sea.


    After that, he used the devouring power of the Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique, the weight suppression of the Great Mystic Mountain Physique, and the power of the Unity rune.


    The three tremendous powers descended on the dao bone of the demonic beast, suppressing it in Long Ming''s dantian. Long Ming slowly extracted its baleful energy of wind and lightning and refined the aura of the demonic beast on it.


    " This beast already reached the Dao Refining Realm. With this dao bone, a cultivator can gain insight into the Grand Dao of Wind and Lightning easily." Long Ming''s body was drenched with sweat as he did his best to keep the dao bone under his control.


    However, he thought of a different usage of the dao bone. It''s also a very precious refinement material. If he wanted to forge a supreme natal sword, it woulde in handy.


    With the devouring power of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique and the assimtion of Unity rune, Long Ming slowly absorbed the remnant aura of the demonic beast and finally made the dao bone submit to him.


    " Haha! Haaha! I did it! I fucking did it!"


    Long Ming wiped his sweat as he looked at the silent dao bone in his divine sea. With a flick of his hand, he summoned it outside as he caressed it''s surface.


    It''s surface was glossy and it looked like ivory. However, when he used the Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see the various profundities of the Grand Dao of Wind and Lightning.


    Long Ming pondered as he used the Temporal Fate Simtion Technique. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he could see his surroundings changing.


    " Yang Fei, From today, you shall be the guardian beast of Four Seasons Valley. Never abandon your duty, alright?"


    Long Ming could see a beautiful woman, whose eyes were like icy blue. She excluded a cold yet charming aura, like a flower blooming in snow. Long Ming recognized her as he saw her paintings in Four Seasons Valley.


    She was Empress Winter Song.


    She brought a Three Eyed Storm Sparrow from her exploration and tamed it. After that, the sparrow agreed to guard the sect till its death.


    Even as a demonic beast, the sparrow''s power grew pretty fast. Soon, he became the Elder Yang as he could transform into a human after reaching a certain stage of cultivation.


    The natural strength and lifespan of demonic beasts are much more than human cultivators. So, Elder Yang saw the brilliant era of Empress Winter Song and Empress Crimson Sky. However, after that, his cultivation stagnated at the peak of the Dao Refining Realm and couldn''t ascend to the Ancient Lord Realm.


    But even after that, Elder Yang''s strength reached a terrifying level. He could even contend against some Ancient Lord Realm cultivators thanks to his demonic beast physique andprehension of Grand Dao.


    But even then, he died during the battle against the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster. His body and demonic core got devoured by the monster, but the elders managed to snatch back his True Blood and his Dao Bone, where all hisprehensions were imprinted.


    They used the true blood to preserve the dao bone and sealed it, throwing it into th treasury.


    Long Ming closed his eyes in admiration.


    " Rest in peace, Elder Yang. Don''t mind I am using your bone to refine treasures. After all, it would be a waste to leave such a thing in a box."


    [ Ding! Host sessfullypleted the quest! Host gets a Dark Gold grade Chest!]


    [ Ding! Host opened the Dark Gold Grade Chest! Host gets Five bottles of Light of Harmony Pill!]


    Long Ming was startled when he saw that. ording to the description, the Light of Harmony pill can make the ascension of a Peaks tage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator to Harmonization Realm easier.


    Besides, It''s also effective for the Harmonization Realm cultivators and can give them insight into various intents of thew of heaven and earth.


    " Well, Although it''s not useful for me, I can give it to all my dear favorites so they can increase their strengths." Long Ming grinned as he rubbed his chin.


    Of course, in exchange for these pills, he definitely going to have fun with Ming Yuexin, Lin Xie, and Chen Yin.


    Besides that, these pills are simply superior quality pills with no impurities. Even a single pill can create a ruckus in the auction house, not to mention Long Ming has twenty five pills in his hand.


    " Haah! I already spent a week here. I wonder how the others are doing in the sect?"


    Long Ming descended down from the mountain. But his steps paused when he saw the broken body of the golden statue. Not only its body, its saber was also a powerful treasure.


    With a swing of his palm, he collected all the materials. After all, why not scrap all the benefits rather than letting it rot under the sky?


    '' Well, My strength increased tremendously this time. Hehe, Mu Qinglian, Let''s see how you are going to defeat me this time.'' Long Ming cracked his knuckles with confidence as he stepped into the teleportation array.


    A pir of light descended on Long Ming''s body as he vanished from his position.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " You guys! It''s already the fourth time! Why you guys are making the same mistakes?"


    " This leather of Earth Threading Bull is too hard to refine!"


    " Haah! I am missing Senior Brother Long! I have so many doubts to ask him."


    " I heard Senior Brother is in seclusion. Let hime back. We can go to him together."


    Elder Shis sighed with a strange feeling when she saw the chattering disciples before her. A month ago, no one was interested in her Treasure Clothes Refining art.


    However, After Long Ming created the Crafting Hall and started teaching the art of refining treasure clothes, the flow of disciples increased.


    Now, more and more disciples were joining and learning. Many of them had ordinary talent in cultivation, but they were eager to learn this crafting technique.


    Not only them but even the disciples of Medicinal Hall were looking for Long Ming. After all, Long Ming''s art of pill refinement fascinated them.


    After exposing Elder Liao, he became the hero of all disciples of the Medicinal Hall.


    " Elder Sister, We already started to sell the clothes of Crafting Hall around the Eternal Spring Tower." Meng Zhi spoke in a bright voice. " You won''t believe it! In a week, we earned more than 500,000 High grade spirit stones!"


    " Our products are getting good treatment. Not to mention, the clothes of Long Ming''s designs were pretty unique. Those were getting sold faster."


    " Sect Master, If you allow, we can start some clothing stores in other cities too." An Luan looked at Xia Yuqing and spoke. " In that way, we can expand our market slolwy and steadily."


    " Is that so?" Xia Yuqing nced at them. " Very well, You both can talk with each other and submit the final report."


    " Besides, The time of the Battle Tournament is near. Is he still in Azure Sun Secret Realm?"


    Meng Zhi chuckled as she nced at Xia Yuqing." Why? Missing him?"


    But she quickly shut up when she felt the re of Xia Yuqing.


    " Ahem, What I heard¡­He said he would return in a week. So, He might being today or tomorrow."


    " Is that so?"


    Xia Yuqing sighed as strange thoughts bubbled in her heart.

 Chapter 180 Showing Improvements

    <h4>Chapter 180 Showing Improvements</h4>


    " Focus on the sword. Like an autumn wind, the sword should move swift and cold as wind."


    Xiao''er mumbled as her eyes shone with a sharp light. With a swift movement, dust and leaves swirled around the sword of Xiao''er as she used the Autumn Breeze Sword Art.


    Her sword turned into a whish of wind as it turned into several sword shadows. The sword qi merged with the wind itself as several deep cuts appeared on a nearby tree.


    '' These are Millenium Copper Trees. The only property the tree have is that they are extremely strong and resilient. They are simply good wooden dummies to practice.'' A blooming smile appeared on the face of Xiao''er when she saw the cuts.


    " Well, Although you have grasped the gist of the technique, your execution is poor."


    " Ahh!~"


    Xiao''er let out a startled cry as she felt someone hugging her from behind. She could feel a pair of evil paws capturing her breasts as a pair of gentle lips caressed her neck.


    " Young master, You are back."


    Xiao''er uttered in a soft voice as she could feel the all familiar presence. She leaned back, submitting her body to Long Ming.


    " Well, Raise your sword and circte the true qi. Feel the scent of autumn wind, both the soft breeze and sharp gusts of wind."


    Xiao''er didn''t resist as she let Long Ming guide her. She raised her sword as her true qi circted as Long Ming instructed.


    " Now, Rather than splitting your sword qi into multipleshes of wind, condense into a single yet long arc of wind. Focus your sword qi and don''t let it dissipate."


    Xiao''er could feel that her sword qi had be stronger and resonated well with the wind.


    Suddenly, the sword was covered with a swirling gust of wind as Xiao''er shed out. The sword qi turned into a sword made of misty wind and pierced the Millennium Copper Tree.


    A deep cut appeared on the tree trunk, almost making it snap into two. Xiao''er was shocked when she saw how her power and efficiency increased by two times when Long Ming guided her.


    " Well? That worked well, I guess." Long Ming smiled. " Don''t think wind is always for the speed. You need to focus on the strength and sharpness as well."


    "Thank you, Young master. You are the best." Xiao''er turned around and bowed before Long Ming.


    " Hmhm, Since you already improved a tad bit, shouldn''t you pay me back?" Long Ming grinned." I came back after a week."


    Xiao''er was startled as she raised her eyebrows in amusement. She leaned toward Long Ming and kissed his lips passionately. Long Ming returned his kiss with equal love as he could feel Xiao''er palm caressing her crotch.


    " Mm, Young Master is right. Since you came back after a week, I should do my best as a maid to relieve your fatigue."


    Their lips parted as Xiao''er looked at Long Ming with a craving gaze. This was her young master, who simply turned on her crazy switch just by his presence.


    " What an obedient maid." Long Ming rubbed Xiao''er soft lips as he gazed at her.


    " Ahem, Senior Brother¡­ It looks like you are busy."


    Long Ming and Xiao''er were startled when they heard a voice. Xiao''er hurriedly let Long Ming go as her body was covered with a red flush.


    " Ahem, Shui Huan, What are you doing here?" Long Ming rubbed under his nose with embarrassment as he asked in a casual voice. After all, he still had faith in his thick skin.


    " Errm¡­ Sister Lin Xie and Chen Yin wanted to know if you came back or not." Shu Huan also tried to hide her blush.?" So¡­ Are you going to meet them¡­"


    " Lin Xie and Chen Yin, hm?" Long Ming pondered as he nodded. "Very well, Let''s go."


    " Xiao''er, since you have practiced, you should take a rest." Long Ming smiled. " We shall meet in the evening, alright?"


    " As you say, Young Master."


    When Shui Huan saw Long Ming fly out with her, she couldn''t help but take a few nces at him.


    At first, anyone would get captivated by Long Ming''s handsome physique and elegant aura with a refined attitude. However, remembering how Long Ming was like a wild and untamed beast who fucked Chen Yin and Lin Xie in the inn of Li Family city, she couldn''t help but sigh.


    " Senior brother, Your rtionship with Sister Lin and Sister Chen must be pretty great, huh?"?She asked in a strange voice.


    " Well, What can I say? It''s really deep." Long Ming spoke in an amused voice. After all, he was pretty deep inside them back then.


    '' Wait, Why Shui Huan is asking such a question?'' Long Ming suddenly looked at Shu Huan''s direction.


    Shui Huan noticed it and looked away. Long Ming looked at me for a moment and mumbled, '' Am I overthinking?''


    Soon, They reached the Azure Sky Mountain, which is the area of Core Disciples.


    In fact, It was Long Ming''s first timeing to the dormitory of Core Disciples as all of them were girls.


    As Long Ming and Shui Huan were passing, many disciples saw Long Ming they recognized him instantly.


    " Wait! Isn''t that Senior Brother Long?"


    '' Yeah! What is he doing in Azure Sky Mountain?"


    " Should we go and meet him?"


    " It looks like he is heading toward Sister Lin Xie and Chen Yin''s courtyard."


    " Brother Long!"


    " Senior Brother, You are back!"


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin were like two kittens as they rushed toward Long Ming. Long Ming hugged both of them as he chuckled.


    " Whoa! What''s with this amount of affection, hum?"


    " Hehe, We were just missing Senior Brother Long." Chen Yin stuck out her tongue.


    " Yeah, It''s been too boring these days." Lin Xie sighed. " Just rest, eat, and practice. I am tired of all this."


    '' Is that so?" Long Ming let them go as he looked at them. " How about this? Let me see the improvement in your skills."


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin nced at each other as they nodded. Long Ming looked at Shui Huan as he beckoned her.


    " Come here. I also need to see your performance, Shui Huan."


    Shui Huan''s expression turned serious when she heard Long Ming. No matter what the personality of Long Ming is, when ites to the matter of teaching, She felt Long Ming was simply superior.


    Lin Xie pulled out her sword, making it covered with ayer of frost. She radiated a powerful cold aura, with blue colored qi circted around her.


    " Frozen Bloom!"


    She raised her sword as the icy qi condensed into several flying swords in the mid air. As Lin Xie''s main swordmanded, the flying icy swords swarmed there, screwing the ground.


    After that, Lin Xie''s sword turned the surroundings into a blizzard as her sword qi swept through the entire area.


    As Lin Xie showed her technique, Chen Yin didn''t stop either. She was also practicing the Autumn Breeze Sword Art. But her mastery in it was more than Xiao''er.


    Her sword turned into countless shadows of wind and sliced through, like an invisible meat chopper. The speed and the sharpness of the attack were noughing matter.


    Suddenly, Chen Yin took a deep breath as she made a vertical sh. However, it imbued with the sword qi and wind qi, turning it into a few metersrge arcs of windcerating forward.


    As the attack charged forward, it created a whistle in the wind and a deep cut in the earth. Long Ming nodded with satisfaction when he saw that.


    " Not bad. Lin Xie alreadyprehended the Ice Qi and Chen Yin grasped the essence of Wind Qi. With the increase of cultivation and my guidance, you would be able to grasp the Intent of Ice and Intent of Wind respectively."


    " Comprehending Intents of heaven and earth before reaching Harmonization Realm?" Lin Xie was surprised.


    " I thought only heavenly geniuses could do that. Brother Long, You we could grasp it in a short period of time?" Chen Yin gave a smallugh.


    " What? You think I am lying?" Long Ming snorted lightly. " Girls, You are taking me far too lightly. I guess I need to punish you guys a bit."


    However, instead of worry, Lin Xie and Chen Yin got ectstatic when they heard the word ''punishment''.


    '' Fuck, did I corrupt these girls that much?'' Long Ming mumbled in his heart when he saw that. They probably wanted a different kind of punishment.


    " Umm, Brother Long, Can I show you my techniques now?" Shui Huan looked at Long Ming. " I also want some pointers from you."


    " Of course, Shui Huan." Long Ming nodded. He had a good impression of Shu Huan since he fought with her to be the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley.


    As Shui Huan walked forward, Lin Xie and Chen Yin stood beside Long Ming. Both their arms were on the back of Long Ming''s waist.


    " Brother Long, You already instructed us in the field." Lin Xie spoke in a mischievous voice.


    " You should also instruct us in the bed, you know?" Chen Yin added with a bit of sultry voice.

 Chapter 181 Nothing Is Small Here

    <h4>Chapter 181 Nothing Is Small Here</h4>


    Shui Huan nced at Long Ming as she pulled out her saber. As she trailed her finger on the de, the de lit up with a zing fire.


    *SHIIIIIIING!*


    Golden metallic sparkles burst forth as a crimson me covered her saber. Raised her saber, she attacked three times as a chained attack. The ming saber qi created wind tearing sounds, showing its might.


    " zing Summer me!"


    Shui Huan rotated her saber and stabbed it on the ground. The ground tremored as cracks filled with ming magma spread around Shui Huan. She turned her surroundings into a field of mes, making her opponent unable to escape.


    Long Ming nodded with a light smile. " En, You did well. However, You are not using your me qi like you should use."


    " Sabers are the weapons of tyranny. Along with the ming qi, you should simply unleash all your power and will rather than hold back." Long Ming pointed out. " Feel the raw energy, don''t focus on how to damage the enemy, but to obliterate himpletely."


    " What you need to focus is on growing your me qi. Your cultivation is still in the early level of Mid stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.?You need to reach the High stage to have a qi reservoir in your divine sea to keep up the flow of me qi."


    " Not to mention, your me qi is still turbid." Long Ming shook his head. " You need to purify your me qi and increase its quality. Only after that, not only your zing me Saber Art''s power would increase, but you might even grasp the profundity of saber intent and intent of fire."


    " Thank you, Brother Long, For your instructions." Shui Huan sheathed her saber as she bowed before Long Ming.


    " However, Brother Long, I have been increasing my cultivation from the Peak of True Core Formation Realm to the Mid stage of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm very fast."


    " I am afraid my foundation would be unstable if I use medicinal pills or external methods to break through to the next stage." Shui Huan looked at Chen Yin and Lin Xie.


    " But, How did Sister Lin and Sister Chen manage to reach the peak of the Primordial Spiritunification Realm so fast?" Shui Huan nced at them. " And, their foundation is still stable as a rock."


    Lin Xie and Chen Yin grinned mischievously when they heard that. They remembered how they simply ascend to the next stage after doing *dual cultivation* with Long Ming.


    Not only did their cultivation increase, but they felt their rate of cultivation also increased by a few times. So, In no time they reached the Peak Stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    " Well, Sister Shui, It''s not like we don''t want to reveal it to you." Lin Xie shrugged. " It''s just¡­You might not be able to do that."


    " Yeah, It takes both courage and resolve to take that path." Chen Yin gave a coy smile.


    " What? Are you saying I am afraid of hardship?" Shui Huan red up as she stomped her feet. " Sister Lin, Sister Chen, As long as you say, I will do it without any hesitation!"


    " My¡­ It depends on brother Long, though."


    Chen Ying chuckled as she hugged Long Ming''s waist, putting her head on his shoulder affectionately.


    " Senior Brother Long, Please! Let me be stronger." Shui Huang nced at Long Ming with determination. " I shall do whatever you say!"


    " It''s not like I don''t want to, but¡­" Long Ming felt his words choking in his mouth.


    Even if he had a diamond like thick skin, he couldn''t possibly look at Shui Huan and ask her to have sex.


    '' Chen Yin, What are you doing? How can you involve Shui Huan in this?'' Long Ming gave a voice transmission to Chen Yin.


    '' Brother Long, Shui Huan is already aware of our rtionship. We got to know even if she tried to hide it. And, I am sure she won''t deny if you ask her to¡­Hehe.'' Chen Yin winked at Long Ming.


    " Well, Shui Huan, This is a secret technique, alright?" Long Ming took a deep breath as his lips curled. " I shall show you a demonstration. If you don''t feel like doing it, you can leave. However. you must not reveal it to anyone."


    " Don''t worry, Senior Brother." Shui Huan spoke with an honest tone.


    " Very well, Follow me."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    *PAPAPAPAPAPAPA*


    Shui Huan stood thunderstruck as the soft pping voice was like mesmerizing music, perfectly resonating with the scene before her.


    " Ahnn!~ Ahnnn! Yes! Yesss!~~"


    Lin Xie sat on the top of Long Ming, moving her hips with experienced movements. The jiggling breasts and her sweet moans made Shui Huan shiver in a strange sensation.


    " Mmm! Brother Long, You left her dry for so long." Chen Yin knelt behind Long Ming''s back as she massaged his shoulders and back with her palm and her breasts. Leaning forward she kissed Long Ming passionately.


    Long Ming sat on the side of the bed, with Lin Xie doing all the work. He was like an emperor, enjoying the service of both of his concubines without any care in the world.


    " Sis-Sister Lin¡­Wha-What are you doing?" Shui Huan asked in a trembling voice.


    " Ahnn! Ahnn!~ Shui Huan¡­ Can''t you see¡­" Lin Xie panted as she faced Shui Huan, moving her hips as she cooed. " We are doing dual cultivation."


    " Du-Dual cultivation?" Shui Huan was shocked as she stammered " Bu-But¡­ Isn''t that¡­unorthodox method of cultivation¡­and¡­its effects are pretty¡­small¡­"


    " Well, Shui Huan¡­ You can see nothing here is small actually." Chen Yin grinned as her tongue flicked on Long Ming''s neck. " Be it the effect of dual cultivation or¡­the tool of Senior Brother Long."


    Long Ming sighed in pleasure as she hugged Lin Xie tightly. His palms squeezed her breast and pinched her nipples, making Lin Xie moan in ecstasy.


    " See this? Shui Huan¡­This is why I am your senior sister didn''t want to tell you." Long Ming sighed. " However, the effect of dual cultivation, you don''t need to worry about it."


    Long Ming activated his Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art, making the Fragrant Yin qi swirl around his body and Lin Xie. Shui Huan was shocked when she saw the turbulent pink colored qi circting between Long Ming and Lin Xie, forming a loop.


    Suddenly, the room filled with a strange intoxicating fragrance, making her calm yet filled with desires at the same time.


    Long Ming with his Deste Immortal Aura along with the power of Fragrance Yin Qi, looked like a demon of pleasure with an immortal temperament. Lin Xie''s body moved on her own as she could feel Long Ming rock hard cock grinding against her inner wall.


    " Haah! Haaahhh! Brother Long! I am cumming!!" Lin Xie''s pussy clenched as she felt Long Ming hugged her tighter, making him pound her pussy even harder.


    " Unnnghhhh!~"


    Lin Xie shivered in pleasure as she could feel Long Ming cumming inside her, filling her pussy to the brim. Long Ming devoured a lot of Fragrant Yin Qi from her body, giving her his pure Yang energy mixed with icy qi in return.


    Since Long Ming also practiced the Four Seasons Grand Flowing Energy Art to some extent, he could easily convert his water qi into ice qi, increasing the power of Lin Xie via dual cultivation.


    Besides, the cirction of Fragrant Yin qi through their body also helps to strengthen Lin Xie''s cultivation even more.


    Shui Huan could feel how potent the Fragrant Yin qi is. Not to mention, Long Ming looked like a walking sun, filled with intense Yang energy.


    Lin Xie sighed in pleasure as she slowly got up, making Long Ming''s cook slip out from her pussy and pointing at Shui Huan.


    " Can you see, Shui Huan? Can you see how much energy Lin Xie received?" Chen Yin grinned.


    Shui Huan unknowingly caressed her pussy as she watched how Lin Xie got fucked by Long Ming. Now, She could see Lin Xie sitting cross-legged, circting the energy she received from Long Ming.


    " Mm, If you aren''ting, then I shall go next, Shui Huan."?Chen Yin licked her lips when she looked at Long Ming''s still erect cock, dripping with fluids.


    " I¡­ I¡­"


    Shui Huan clenched her fist as she felt Long Ming''s gaze on her. He was silent, but Shui Huan could feel that irresistible attraction from his body and eyes, with that strange fragrance that made her body burn with lust.


    " Will..Will I able to improve my strength if I¡­dual¡­" Shui Huan looked at her feet as she was too shy to finish her sentence.


    " I believe so." Long Ming spoke with a firm voice.


    " Then¡­Then I shall¡­Try."


    Shui Huan gazed at Long Ming, her eyes pleading to relieve her urges.


    " Ara¡­Since Little Shui agreed, I shall guide you then." Chen Yin grinned slyly as she walked to Shui Huan, naked and unbashed.


    " Allow me to give you some demonstration, Shui Huan." Chen Yin chuckled as she knelt before Long Ming.


    " After all, you shall thoroughly learn the art of pleasure."

 Chapter 182 Too Much Work(R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 182 Too Much Work(R-18)</h4>


    *SLURP SLURP SLURRRPPP!*


    Chen Yin''s fingers wrapped around Long Ming''s cock as she shook it vigorously. While shaking it, her mouth didn''t remain idle, her lips wrapped around the tip of the cock and her tongue teased it.


    Shui Huan felt her legs trembling as a strange sensation making her body numb. Chen Yin took more and more of Long Ming''s cock in her mouth with each movement.


    The sound of her sucking Long Ming''s cock and Long Ming''s sigh of satisfaction made Shui Huan dizzy.


    " Haahh! See? This is how it should be done." Chen Yin nced at Shui Huan as she grinned. " Why? Why don''t youe and try it?"


    " Me?! How-How can I¡­"


    " Well, Shui Huan, We already showed you the path. As for following it or not, it depends on you." Chen Yin kissed Long Ming''s cock as she chuckled.


    Seeing Lin Xie was still cultivating and the powerful aura covering her body, Shui Huan felt internal trouble. However, after getting teased by Chen Yin more and more, her barrier was almost about to get broken.


    " So, What do you say, Shui Huan?" Long Ming nced at Shui Huan. His voice was soft, but it carried an indomitable will. Shui Huan''s heart trembled as she gulped a mouthful of saliva when she saw Long Ming''s cock rubbing on Chen Yin''s lips.


    " I¡­ I am willing." Shui Huan lowered her head as she mumbled.?Long Ming grinned as he got up.


    " Well, I am d that you agreed."


    Shui Huan gasped as she didn''t realize when she got pulled near the bed, Long Ming was standing right before her.


    Closing her eyes, Shui Huang could feel Long Ming''s tight arms wrapping around her waist firmly, his lips sealing her in passion.


    Her small mouth was pried open by Long Ming''s tongue, which started to tease her tongue sensually.


    " Mmnnnfhh!~"


    Getting her first kiss, not to mention from her elegant and handsome senior brother, Shui Huan felt her heart burst out from her chest. She was already aroused to the peak when Long Ming was having sex with Lin Xie and getting head from Chen Yin.


    And now, this sensual kiss made her mental defense crush like an eggshell.


    " Haah! Haahhh!~"


    A small thread of saliva connected their tongue as Long Ming and Shui Huan''s lips parted. Shui Huan left breathless as she nced at Long Ming with a mixture of fear, affection, and desire.


    " Well, Is that true that Sister Shui watched us in the inn after I copsed in the wine gathering?" Long Ming suddenly asked.


    Shui Huan blushed when she heard that question. Yet, she has no reason to hide that anymore. " Yeah¡­ I was standing outside the room. But when I felt something was wrong¡­ I peeked inside."


    " And¡­ And I saw¡­" Shui Huan felt too embarrassed to continue."


    Long Ming grinned. " Sister Shui, Don''t you know? Peeking is bad. And since you did something bad, you need to have some punishment."


    " Huh-Wai-T."


    Shui Huan trembled as she felt Long Ming casually caressing her body. But the moment after, all of her clothes fell on the floor, leaving her body exposed to the air.


    Long Ming held her waist as he stood behind her, her fingers gently tracing the pussy lips of Shui Huan, feeling its wetness.


    " Hnnngh¡­. Brother Long¡­ It feels so¡­"


    Shui Huan''s body trembled with thrill when her pussy got fingered by Long Ming. Not to mention, he was also nibbling her neck gently, sending waves of pleasure down her spine.


    " Oh my¡­To think Sister Shui got so aroused just by watching us." Long Ming''s voice was calm, yet devilish, making Shui Huan submit to him.


    " Is it feeling good? Should I do more¡­"


    " Nnnnghhh!~"


    It felt so strange and pleasurable that Shui Huan felt her legs might give up. Suddenly, she felt something hard and throbbing girthy parting her thighs from behind and rubbing against her pussy lips.


    Long Ming moved his lips, making her cock sandwich between the thighs of Shui Huan and her pussy. Chen Yin grinned as she knelt before Shui Huan.


    " Why don''t I give you a helping hand?"


    " Ahnnn!~ Sister Chen! Nyaahhh!~"


    Shui Huan''s entire body trembled as she felt Chen Yin''s tongue flicking her pink pear while Long Ming rubbed his rod on her pussy. Long Ming also took a sharp breath as he realized Chen Yin''s mouth was ying with both Shui Huan''s and Long Ming''s parts.


    " Haah! Haah! This¡­This too much¡­" Shui Huan panted. " I am¡­cumming!"


    " Mmh¡­ I am too¡­"


    Chen Yin kissed the tip of Long Ming''s cock as she felt white threads of creamy fluid shooting on her face, along with Shui Huan''s spring water. Smacking her lips, Chen Yin grinned, " Geeze, both of you made a mess of my face."


    Long Ming chuckled. " Oh, I heard somewhere it can easily retain the charm of your skin."


    " Then I am afraid I have to visit Senior Brother more often for your¡­*special medicine*."


    " Vulgar¡­It''s so¡­lewd." Shui Huan''s cheeks were burning when she heard the conversation between Chen Yin and Long Ming.


    " Well now, Time for the main course." Long Ming made Shui Huan bend over the bed, making her ass stick out. Shui Huan trembled when she felt Long Ming''s palm rubbing her buttcheeks, squeezing them like dough.


    " Se-Senior Brother¡­It''s my¡­first time so¡­AHHNN!~"


    Before Shui Huan could finish her sentence, she felt Long Ming''s pulsing rod slid inside her sacred well. She winced in pain as she felt her hymen getting pierced by Long Ming''s cock.


    " Nghhh! It''s hurting! It hurts!" Shui Huan clenched the bedsheets as she could feel Long Ming''s cock shoving even further inside her.


    " Don''t worry, Shui Huan. We also felt that stinging pain at that time." Chen Yin sighed as she rubbed Shui Huan''s palm. " But, It only takes a brief moment for the pain to transform into pleasure."


    "Ahnn! Ahhnnnn!~"


    Shui Huan moaned as her pain of being deflowered got mixed with another, strange sensation. Long Ming held her waist as he moved his hips slowly. The breathing of Shui Huan got heavier and heavier as she could feel Long Ming and she connected so deeply.


    " Shui Huan¡­Shall I?"


    " Mhm¡­You can¡­move,,,*


    Long Ming grinned as he increased his humping speed.


    *PAPAPAPAPAPA*


    Shui Huan''s expression changed when she felt Long Ming''s cock started to pound her hard.


    " Ahnn!~ Ahnn!~ Ahnn~" Shui Huan moaned loudly as her breasts swayed from the movement.


    " Tut tut, Where is the heroic Shui Huan who brandished the saber before Senior Brother?" Chen Yin squeezed her own breasts and fingered her pussy as she watched Shui Huan getting pounded.


    " Haah! You can''t me Shui Huan, Chen Yin." Long Ming panted as his hips moved vigorously. " After all, She is also a woman."


    " Ahnn! Hannh! Brother Long¡­You can¡­turning me crazy/" Shui Huan moaned as she felt her sweet spots were getting poked by Long Ming''s cock.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi swirled around Long Ming''s body as he absorbed arge amount of pink qi from Shui Huan''s body. As his thrusts increased, Long Ming felt he was about to climax.


    " Shui Huan, I am about to¡­"


    " Unngh!~ I am cumming too!~"


    Shui Huan felt a warm gush of fluid filling inside her, making her womb warm. Her body shivered as she could feel the raging Yang energy filling inside her.


    She quickly circted her cultivation technique as the energy transformed into fire qi. Her divine sea was filled with fire qi, strengthening her body and cultivation.


    But before Long Ming could take a breath of respite, he saw Chen Yin''s thighs like butterfly wings, her sacred well dripping with juice as she looked at him with eyes filled with desire.


    " Senior Brother, You didn''t forget about me, right? I am getting all hot and bothered here¡­"


    " Afraid not, Sister Chen." Long Ming grinned, and his little brother stood up once again. " I am a man of integrity and justice. There is no way I would show partiality."


    " Ufufuf, I was waiting for this."


    Long Ming pounced on Chen Yin like a hungry tiger, making her gasp in pleasure. Feeling Long Ming''s masculine body pinned her down and his lips tasting her breasts, Chen Yin felt she reached the peak of bliss.


    With a swift hump, Long Ming''s dragon entered Chen Yin''s cave, making her body jold back. Unlike Shui Huan, Long Ming didn''t need to show any reservations before Chen Yin.


    *PAPAPAPAPA*


    " AHHN!~ AHNNN! OOHNNN!~" Chen Yin''s eyes rolled back in pleasure as Long Ming''s cock kept grinding against her inner walls. " Se-Sneior Brother¡­ You are so deep inside me¡­." Chen Yin panted as she held him tightly, her fingers digging into Long Ming''s solid back.


    Long Ming looked down at Chen Yin''s beautiful face, which was covered with a shade of pink. Her eyes were gleaming, craving for more.


    " Mnnn¡­"


    Long Ming lowered his head and sucked her lips, making Chen Yin tremble. Long Ming knew all of her sensitive ce, so he spared no effort to tease Chen Yin more and more.


    The more Chen Yin stimted, the tighter her pussy became, making Long Ming experience euphoria.


    " Brother Long! Ahhnn!~ I am¡­cummming~"


    Chen Yin kissed Long Ming deeply as she could feel Long Ming''s cock pulsing inside her. In no time, she felt Long Ming dumping a thick load inside her.


    With their tongues intertwined, Chen Yin let out a satisfied sigh as she felt Long Ming pumping his essence inside her. The Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art changed their energy, filling Chen Yin to the brim.


    As Long Ming got up after finishing inside Chen Yin, he realized someone hugging him from behind.


    " Are you going this early?"


    Lin Xie''s voice cooed in Long Ming''s ears as her breasts pressed against his back.


    " Not really. There are so many works here." Long Ming sighed as he turned around.


    Too much work indeed.

 Chapter 183 Usage of Azure Flame

    <h4>Chapter 183 Usage of Azure me</h4>


    Long Ming simply wore his pants as he walked out of the courtyard. It was alreadyte night as the moonlight shone outside.


    His body was glistening with sweat as the gentle breeze made his skin feel cool.


    '' Along with a considerable about of Fragrant Yin Qi, I also absorbed the me qi that Shui Huan cultivated for years.''


    Long Ming already acquired the Azure me Royal Body. Sitting under the moonlight, he activated his Initial Completion Azure me Royal Body.


    Sitting in the lotus position, a lump of azure me appeared on his palm, burning gently like flowing water. Although the azure me looked slow and harmless, it devoured the umted me qi in Long Ming''s body.


    As Long Ming fed it more and more me qi, the azure me started to circte inside his body along with his blood. He could feel the mepletely merged with his physique.


    '' Hmm, This azure me isn''t a pure me. To reach the Minor Completion stage and cross the minor tribtion, I need to let it devour both Yang attribute me and Wood Attribute me.'' Long Ming pondered inwardly.


    Long Ming sat cross legged as he manipted the azure me. Along with cultivating the physique, Long Ming also grasped the me Intent. After that, Long Ming had various ns to use the mes both in the field of production and battle.


    '' Hmm, I remember I got many nice stuff from that Elder Liao. Time to stretch by body and practice alchemy a bit.''


    He already studied all the pill refinement techniques and other alchemical techniques stored in Elder Liao''s spatial ring. Although she was a piece of shit, her title as Alchemy Grandmaster can easily give her a reputable position even in big sects.


    Therefore, all the materials gathered by her throughout the years are pretty significant and precious. And now, Long Ming thoroughlyprehended all of them and was ready to get serious in alchemy.


    '' Hmm, I am sure I already crossed the stage of Alchemy Apprentice. But, I need to test my limits.''


    Long Ming took out the cauldron of Elder Liao and used his azure me to light it up. Since it''s the me born from his physique, controlling it was much easier than controlling earth mes inside the alchemy chambers of Four Seasons Valley''s Medicinal Hall.


    " Blue Stone Clover, Deep Earth Twisted Roots, Spirit Spring Grass¡­" Long Ming already studied various pill recipes and their refinement forms. Currently, he was trying to refine a rank four pill that can be taken by even the Peaks tage True Core Formation Realm.


    The mes buzzed as the medicinal herbs slowly melted under the watchful gaze of Long Ming. Long Ming''s spiritual qi surged as he could sense the minute changes inside the cauldron and the reaction of various medicinal herbs with each other.


    Long Ming used a special type of me controlling technique and divided the mes into multiple threads, controlling the temperature of the cauldron with extreme precision.


    He already crossed the essence extraction phase and now is the phase of blending.


    '' Hmm, me Tongue Grass is ipatible in low temperatures. But, if I add some Spirit Spring Grass, its melting point would decrease¡­''


    Long Ming remembered the chemical reactions between various herbs. So, controlling the temperature and catalysts, Long Ming also crossed the blending phase.


    '' Now, Thest and most crucial phase, Pill Condensation.'' Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he activated his Temporal Fate Simtion Technique.


    Suddenly, the surroundings around him became hazy as his spiritual qi depleted rapidly. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could easily calcte various variables during the pill condensation and its result.


    Quickly rejecting the future oues full failures, Long Ming easily found the best and most efficient way to condense the pills.


    *CLACK CLACK!*


    The spirit cauldron trembled as soft popping noises escaped from it. Long Ming put out the azure mes as he opened the cauldron lid. With a sweep of his palm, seven round and shiny pills jumped into his palm,


    " Hmm, Three of them are eight ringed pills and the rest are seven ringed pills. That means the efficiency of medicinal pill is around 70-80%'' Long Ming sighed.


    '' Even though the transcending grade is a bit far fetched, I thought I could refine perfect grade medicinal pills with a single try.''


    If Elder Liao or any other Alchemy Grandmaster hears Long Ming''s words, they might cough a mouthful of blood and die out of anger.


    Pills are divided ording to the rings formed on it during alchemy. Each ring defines 10% of the medicinal effect. The more medicinal effect percentage is, the more medicinal power a cultivator can absorb and the more expensive it gets.


    Two ringed pills are Low grade pills, Four ringed ones are Mid grade, Six ringed ones are high grade and eight ringed ones are called Peak grade pills.


    Nine ringed pills are extremely rare as they require deep alchemicalprehension and techniques which honed through centuries. Those pills are called perfect pills with 90% efficiency.


    As for 10 ringed ones? Those and called Transcdending pills which only existed in folklore or deep in the Heavenly Emperor''s treasuries.


    An ordinary alchemist can only refine mid grade pills and that alone can make them feel superior. It required years of study and experiments and countless failures.


    However, Long Ming casually refined seven pills which are peak grade and high grade pills respectively. Yet, He sounded like a talentless individual who failed.


    '' These are called Core Enhancement Pills. I should probably sell these pills in Inner Disciple Zone as it''s beneficial for True Core Formation stage cultivators.''


    After refining a few more rank four pills, Long Ming started to refine rank five pills. To his surprise, he failed once before creating a bottle of Spirit Unity Pills for Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivators.


    " Hmm, With my spiritual qi and ability, I can easily refine pills of rank five. So, I am eligible for being an Alchemy Grandmaster I guess." Long Ming smacked his lips as he looked at various bottles of pills before him.


    Although the pills he refined were easiest of each ranks, it still shows the capabilities of Long Ming. With a bit more training, He is sure that he can refine pills for Harmonization Realm Cultivators.


    However, That will be the current limit of Long Ming. Unless he increases his spiritual qi and qi cultivation to the Harmonization Realm, he won''t be able to reach the Alchemy King Realm,


    But that''s the matter of the future. Currently, Long Ming already achieved what he wanted to achieve.


    '' Hmm, If I want to refine treasures, I will need a different cauldron and forging table for it. If I use the same cauldron for pill refinement and treasure forging, both things will be affected and the rate of sess would decrease.''


    Long Ming stretched his body as he looked at the sky. The moon already reached the western horizon and the sky already started to brighten. Judging from the intense dual cultivationst night, he doubted if Lin Xie, Chen Yin, and Shui Huan could get up.


    His Raging me Wing pped as he streaked across the sky. However, as he was casually roaming around the sect, he saw a peculiar scene.


    She saw Mu Qinglian in her courtyard practicing her fist and movement techniques. Her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body''s power was on full disy as disyed various techniques.


    Suddenly, Mu Qinglian''s expression shifted as she raised her palm. A fiery, gigantic palm condensed in mid air, like a palm of me demon. The palm shot toward a tree with a fast speed.


    *BOOM BOOOM*


    A wave of water rose as a gigantic mountain appeared before the palm, crushing it thoroughly. The mes extinguished as the images of water waves and mountains vanished.


    " You have improved quite a lot fromst time." Mu QInglian let out a faint smile as she nced at the figure leaning on the tree.


    " Aiya, Where is the elegance and etiquette of a nobledy?" Long Ming shook his head. " Attacking a person even without looking at them, Senior Sister pretty uncouth."


    " Talking about elegance and etiquette, huh?" Mu Qinglian nced at Long Ming. " Coming to ady''s courtyard at such time while being half naked, is that your elegance?"


    " Ah¡­That."


    Long Ming almost forgot that his top body was still bare. He was actually thinking about returning straight to his Solitary Flower Peak. But since he came here identally, he forgot about being half naked.


    Mu Qinglian walked near Long Ming as her brows creased. " What''s with this¡­strange smell? It''s¡­such a strange fragrance¡­mixed with the fragrance of various women¡­"


    " Were you¡­" She looked at Long Ming with a suspicious gaze.


    " Ahaha¡­I don''t know what you talking about." Long Ming''s expression turned stiff when he heard that.


    " Hmph! Come and train with me right away! Let''s see how much your strength has improved."


    " Aigoo! Senior Sister, I am already very tired."


    '' Tired? From doing what¡­"


    Long Ming blushed. " It''s¡­a special type of¡­cultivation. Yes, I was cultivating."


    But before he could add anything else, Mu Qinglian''s fist already reached near his face.

 Chapter 184 I am Going Too!

    <h4>Chapter 184 I am Going Too!</h4>


    As the sun rose, Mu Qinglian and Long Ming sat beside each other as they looked at the eastern horizon.


    " You really improved." Mu Qinglian sighed. " We only used our physique and both of us have minorpletion Imperial Physique. Yet, You are clearly stronger than me."


    " What''s the secret behind this, hm?" She nced at Long Ming.


    " It''s because I am more handsome?" Long Ming grinned.


    " You!!"


    Mu Qinglian nced at Long Ming with frustration as she looked back to the eastern sky.


    Long Ming became amused when he saw Mu Qinglian''s reaction. After all, along with Great Mystic Mountain Physique, he also has initialpletion Azure me Royal Body and Spatial Light Royal Body. Even without the other two physiques actively, the power can easily overwhelm Mu Qinglian.


    " It''s less than a week till the Battle Tournament starts. And, It will take two days to reach the Holy Qilin City." Mu Qinglian spoke. " So, When are we leaving?"


    " We should leave tomorrow." Long Ming pondered for a moment.


    " Why so early?"


    " Because I want to see the world." Long Ming smiled. " I want to visit various ces leisurely before attending the battle tournament."


    " You know what? Who cares about a shitty tournament anyway? Why should I entertain a crowd while fighting against someone like a monkey?" Long Ming spoke.


    " You are clearly different." Mu Qingliang sighed. " Do you not care about fame, wealth or standing at the pinnacle of immortal world?"


    " As long I have enough power to do whatever I wish, I don''t care about being on top." Long Ming let out a smallugh. " What I care about is freedom and fulfillment."


    " About Fourth Prince¡­Did you really kill him?" Mu Qinglian remained silent for a moment before asking Long Ming.


    " Did I?" Long Ming blinked his eyes. " I thought that the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster killed him?"


    " Is that so?" Mu Qinglina pursed her lips as she looked away. " Yeah, How can a weak bastard like you can kill him."


    " Hehe¡­ Actually, From Qin Chen, I remembered something." Long Ming fumbled inside his spatial bracelet and pulled out a box.


    The moment he opened the box, a powerful bloody mist erupted from it as it condensed into several qilins made of blood. However, instead of any difort, both Long Ming and Mu Qinglian felt a refreshing feeling as if their blood and vitality became invigorated.


    " This¡­ This is the Holy Spring Pearl of Holy Qilin Imperial Family?"?Mu Qinglian was surprised. " You stole it from him?"


    " Stealing? How can I do such a lowly thing?" Long Ming snorted lightly. " The spatial ring of Qin Chen was already without a master after his death. So, I merely picked it up. And since I am its new master, the stuff inside the ring is also mine."


    Mu Qinglian held the Holy Spring Pearl as it was coursing with the robust vitality and blood energy of an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator. She could feel it was faintly resonating with her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body.


    " The Blood Phoenix Sacred Body utilizes your blood vitality and the potential of your inner body to disy maximum power. If you manage to refine this pearlpletely, I believe the power of your physique will increase by two times at least." Long Mingughed.


    " This¡­This is too precious." Mu Qinglian muttered. " It''s a treasure refined by an Ancient Lord Realm cultivator. Its worth is the same as an innate type of Royal grade treasure. Are you giving it for free?"


    " Free? Who said that?" Long Ming grinned. " I am a very generous person. If you kiss me¡­"


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s voice halted as Mu Qinglian leaned forward. Her soft lips were like a pair of pink roses mped together. The soft lips pressed against Long Ming''s lips,


    Their lips stuck together for a moment. Long Ming was so stunned that he didn''t even try to have a french kiss.


    " I¡­"


    It took a few moments for Long Ming to recover his calmness. However, like a hawk snatching a chick, Mu Qinglian snatched the Holy Spring Pearl from his hands.


    " Don''t¡­ Don''t think much about that." Mu Qinglian''s body trembled as she faced away from Long Ming. " I¡­I just had to repay your favor, ok? It''s your fault that you¡­asked for a kiss and nothing¡­else."


    " Well, I didn''t say that it has to be a kiss on the lips." Long Ming mumbled. But seeing the terrifying re of Mu Qinglian, he hurriedly shifted, " But I am grateful that Saintess Mu graced my lips with her tender lips¡­"


    " Get Lost!"


    Hearing the flowery words of Long Ming, Mu Qinglian blushed furiously as she kicked Long Ming''s waist. Long Ming grinned as his Raging Storm Wings pped. With a whistling noise, he disappeared from Mu Qinglian''s courtyard.


    " Hateful!" Mu Qinglian stomped her feet. However, her heart was in turmoil. '' I did it! I finally kissed him!''


    '' But why? Why did I get the sudden impulse to kiss him? It''s not like I love him, right?''


    However, Looking at the Holy Spring Pearl in her hands, Mu Qinglian felt a trace of warmth.


    " No matter what, I will be strong enough to stand beside you."


    Mu Qinglin looked at the rising sun as she returned to the courtyard. Since the Holy Spring Pearl was a powerful and ancient treasure, Mu Qinglian entered in seclusion to refine it and increase the power of her physique.


    After returning, Long Ming didn''t sat idle either. He went to the Crafting Hall to check the progress of the disciples studying the treasured clothes crafting techniques. After imparting some knowledge to them, Long Ming went to the Medicinal Hall and disyed hisprehension regarding Alchemy.


    Thanks to the hidden realm of Herbal Sanctuary in Azure Sun Sacred Realm, The disciples of Four Seasons Valley managed to get arge amount of herbs, which are superior in both quality and quantity.


    ? of the herbs were sent to be nted again, while the remaining ? herbs were stored as treasures and used to make powerful pills.


    With Long Ming''s tips and tricks, the disciples in Medicinal Hall greatly benefited. Unlike Elder Liao before, Long Ming didn''t treat the disciples coldly.


    He mixed with them amd cleared everyone''s individual problems. In just three days, the productivity of Crafting Hall and Medicinal Hall increased.


    After three days, Xia Yuqing called a meeting. All the disciples stood at the center of the sect as other elders also joined.


    " As you all know, the Battle Tournament of the Holy Qilin Empire shall begin in a few days. Not only the great sects and families of the Holy Qilin Empire, but all powers of the Eastern Province woulde to participate."


    " This time, thepetition would be fierce. But the rewards would be also ample."


    " I hope everyone from Four Seasons Valley will do their best and get into the top rankings" Xia Yuqing''s voice filled with energy and enthusiasm. " If any of you does exceptionally well in the tournament, they will get a Royal grade weapon, along with a bottle of Blood Marrow paste of a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm Demonic Beast."


    " What? A Royal grade weapon and Blood Marrow paste of a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm Demonic Beast?"


    " That''s too valuable. Such a paste can easily reshape someone''s body, enhancing their potential and aptitude."


    "Besides, If you are lucky, you might even get the bloodline of the demonic beast."


    The disciples discussed among themselves as they heard the announcement of Xia Yuqing. However, most of the female disciples'' gaze was on Long Ming, who stood beside Xia Yuqing.


    After giving some instructions to everyone, Xia Yuqing made everyone disperse.


    " Qinglian, You went to seclusion?" Xia Yuqing looked at Mu Qinglian. " So, Are you ready for the tournament?"


    " Disciple is ready, Master." Mu Qinglian cupped her fist.


    " Well, Master, I have a favor to ask." Long Ming spoke instantly. Xia Yuqing nced at him her tone was cid. " Speak, What do you want?"


    " Can we depart today, right after some time?" Long Ming looked at Xia Yuqing. " I wish to explore various ces on the way to Holy Qilin City."


    " Master I wish to apany Long Ming." Mu Qinglian spoke instantly. Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as he became amused.


    " You wish to depart earlier?" Xia Yuqing pondered. " Even if you guys miss the preliminaries, you will still get into the tournament eventually. So, You guys can take your time and go to Holy Qilin City."


    " Sect Master, I also wish to apany them."


    Ming Yuexin saw an opportunity as she spoke. " Master, I also want to go with Senior Brother Long."


    Wu Liang sighed when she heard Ming Yuexin. " Sect Master Xia, I think it''s a good idea to send Ming Yuexin with them."


    " Bu-But¡­" Mu Qinglian felt a bit of unwillingness. After all, there was barely any time Long Ming and Mu Qinglian spent privately.


    " Well, I believe they probably don''t know about the outside world. To tour around, they need an exceptional guide."


    A voice startled all of them as they nced at the neer.


    " Meng Zhi, What do you mean by that?" Wu Lian raised her brows as she nced at Meng Zhi.


    Meng Zhi suddenly hugged Long Ming, burying his face in her deep ravine between her mountains.


    " Of Course! I am saying that I should go with them too!"

 Chapter 185 Sparks of Jealousy

    <h4>Chapter 185 Sparks of Jealousy</h4>


    Everyone became silent when they heard Meng Zhi. Long Ming tried to *struggle* and break free from Meng Zhi''s grasp. But Meng Zhi felt like Long Ming was doing nothing more than pressing his face further and rubbing on her cleavage.


    " Oh my, To think a dignified elder like Elder Meng Zhi would attack and choke the True disciple of Four Seasons Valley in broad daylight." Mu Qinglian had enough as she pulled Long Ming away.


    " Yeah, I almost got choked." Long Ming nodded hurriedly as he joined in.


    " Was it fragrant? Was it soft?"


    " Very much." Long Ming spoke out of his instinct. But then, he felt cold gazes from all around him, making him shrink his neck.


    " I mean¡­It was too dangerous." Long Ming mumbled. " What if I got suffocated?"


    " Anyway, Elder Meng, Why did you wish to go with us?" Ming Yuexin nced at Meng Zhi with a hostile gaze. She was alreadypeting with Mu Qinglian. But ti think the vixen Meng Zhi would jump in like that.


    It wasn''t like she felt Meng Zhi was more attractive than her. However, with that coquettish aura and charm, she possesses something that attracts men naturally.


    Not to mention, Ming Yuexin knows how passionate Long Ming can get. If Meng Zhi does her best, Long Ming can fall under her skirt.


    '' I would rather fight with Sister Mu than face Meng Zhi.'' Ming Yuexin muttered in her heart.


    " Meng Zhi, Why do you wish to go with them? Xia Yuqing''s expression also turned strange as she asked Ming Yuexin.


    " Replying to Sect Master, I am usually in charge of dealing of information inside and outside of sect." Meng Zhi smiled. " I know much more about the various ces around Holy Qilin City. So, If I go with them, I can easily tour them around."


    " Is that so?" Xia Yuqing asked in a doubtful voice.


    " I mean, It''s been a while since I left Grand Sky City, right?" Meng Zhi chuckled. " Just treat it as my vacation."


    " Fine, You shall be the supervisor to all these three." Xia Yuqing nodded. " After a week, I shall leave with other disciples."


    " Yes, Sect Master."


    Everyone bowed before Xia Yuqing as she turned around and left. Mu Qinglian turned around and gleaned at Meng Zhi. She wore short sleeve dress with a deep V neck,s howing an ample amount of her breasts. And, she could see the slight wet mark left by Long Ming''s lips.


    " Hmph, Old cow trying to chew young grass." Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but mutter.


    " Ara, But I feel old cow is much more plump and beautiful than young calf though?" Meng Zhi grinned. " And maybe, more tasty milk."


    Suddenly, Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian nced at the proud chest of Meng Zhi, which stood likerge and firm mountains.


    Ming Yuexin snorted loudly as she always felt her bust size was lesser than Meng Zhi and Mu Qinglian.


    Long Ming rubbed his cheeks as he looked at them. " Enough of this drama. Everyone go and get ready. We shall depart shortly."


    He felt the surroundings already turned into andmine field. So, it would be better for him to leave and prepare for things.


    The three women sighed as they saw Long Ming vanishing like a ghost.


    After two hours, Long Ming and others gathered around an ancient flying boat.


    " Well, This is one of our sect''s finest flying treasure boats. It was lying dormant because it consumed too many spirit stones." Meng Zhi chuckled. " So, Sister Xia used it only in case of emergency or great asion. But now, we can use it as we please."


    " Interesting. It even has powerful defensive formation and speed boosting formation." Long Ming became interested. " Even if Nine Transformations of Soul Realm cultivator attacks us, we can escape safe and sound."


    Long Ming already carrying millions of High grade spirit stones. Even if he burns the spirit stones recklessly, he has plenty spend.


    " Well, Then what are we waiting for?" Ming Yuexin flew into the boat with excitement. " let''s go."


    " Indeed, We should go now."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " So, The Holy Qilin City is around 50,000 Kilometers away?" Long Ming was a bit shocked. Although he knew that the Rain Dragon Continent was infinitelyrger than Earth, he was still amazed when he heard that.


    " Well, Our boat can travel more than 12,000 Kilometers leisurely per day. So, We can simply rx and enjoy the surroundings." Ming Yuexin smiled.


    " Once upon a time, The coast of the ocean, the ck Pearl City, Grand Sky City, Azure Fragrance City, All of them used to be the domain of Four Seasons Valley." Mu Qinglian sighed. " But now, Only a radius of 2000 kilometers remains as our territory."


    " Interesting, So, Our Four Seasons Valley used to be the strongest sect of Eastern Province?" Long Ming became interested.


    " Not really." Meng Zhi sighed. " The Eastern Province is the treasure trove of Rain Dragon Continent while the Central Province is where all the strongest sects and families gathered."


    " Even the time Four Seasons Valley was prosperous, there were some sects and families in Eastern Province who couldpete with them."


    " For example, Storm Pagoda of Northern zone. It produced two Heavenly Emperors. But other than that, they also have numerous experts in Grand Heaven Ascension Realm."


    " Then, Sky Martial Tower which produced a single Heavenly Emperor after the decline of our Four Seasons Valley." Meng Zhi sighed. " But even before the decline, it was a powerful sect."


    " There is also True Sun Sect of the extreme south of Eastern Province and the Bright Cloud Ind which is located in western bay."


    " Hmm, There was always a difference between Imperial lineage and normal lineage, no?" Long Ming spoke.


    " Of course. A sect or family blessed by the Heavenly Emperor, it can easily affect the karmic luck of the entire ce." Mu Qinglian spoke.


    " Otherwise, why do you think our Four Seasons Valley is still standing even after countless suppressions?"


    " Not to mention, Imperial cultivation arts, Battle Arts, Royal grade and Imperial grade weapons, Heavenly Emperor''s treasures, all of these can affect the power bnce of the entire world, not to mention a mere sect." Meng Zhi became amused.


    " But, Although the Imperial Weapons are destructive, it''s also hardest to use." Ming Yuexin pursed her lips. " One could say the Imperial Treasures contains the spirit imprints of Heavenly Emperors."


    " So, You need to get the approval of the Heavenly Emperor''s spirit itself before wielding the weapon. Else, You will be turned into a mist of blood by the mere aura of Imperial Treasures."


    Long Ming leaned on the deck of the boat as he could see the floating clouds and the scenery around him.


    After Grand Sky City, They were currently crossing over a wilderness. Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he could see various demonic beasts inside the deep forest.


    " Sister Meng, How is the business in Eternal Spring Tower going?" Long Ming suddenly asked.


    " Well, It''s better than ever." Meng Zhi stretched her arms, showing off her tender body in an exquisite way. " There are so many customers flooding inside the building, to eat, drink, gamble, and sate their lust."


    " Sister Meng, Since you saw so many men, Did no one catch your eyes?" Ming Yuexin nced at Meng Zhi with a bit of snort.


    " Oh my, I am merely the manager of Eternal Spring Tower." Meng Zhi grinned. " It''s not like I am also selling my craft like other girls. And perhaps the man who caught my attention after such a long time was none other than Long Ming."


    " PFFTT!!"


    Long Ming almost choked on his saliva when he heard that. " Big sister Meng, You are overpraising me!"


    " Is that so?" Meng Zi let out a leisurely smile. " To be honest, Little Brother Long gave me some enjoyment and rxation after such a long time. I am really grateful to him."


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian looked at each other as they sighed.


    " Anyway, Big Sister Meng. Where are we going next after this?"


    " Hmm, I heard the Seven Leaf Restaurant of Redstone City is pretty popr among travelers." Meng Zhi pondered. " We can have a good lunch there and sightsee around that ce."


    " After that, we can go to the Misty Hills. That ce is pretty good for cultivation and roaming around. It''s said that the Heavenly Emperor Sea Cloud cultivated here and gained variousprehensions in his techniques."


    " You can cultivate various Water and Wind attribute techniques there with great efficiency." Meng Zhi replied.


    " Interesting. Maybe I can practice my swordsmanship there." Ming Yuexin grinned.


    As they chatted, Long Ming suddenly saw a scene beneath the clouds. He could see a couple of people surrounded by many bandits.


    The strength of the bandits wasn''t much, only at the True Core Formation Realm.


    " What? Does Brother Long wish to help them?" Ming Yuexin nced at Long Ming.


    " A trivial matter. We don''t need to slow down at all." Long Ming grinned as he pulled out his bow.

 Chapter 186 Leisure Dining

    <h4>Chapter 186 Leisure Dining</h4>


    " Bastards of Crimson Turban Gangs! Are you not afraid of the retributions of the heavens?"


    " Haha! Punishment of heavens? Mt fart!" A banditughed as he brandished his saber. " If heavens wanted to punish me, I would have died long ago."


    " Damn it! You want to rob our money? Just take everything from us. But let us pass!" A girl looked at the bunch of bandits as she spoke angrily.


    " Hehe, Miss Fei, You seem to misunderstanding something." The bandit leader licked his lips as he looked at the girl.


    " We are going to take the money and valuables, of course. But why should we ask it for you? We can just snatch directly from you."


    " Not to mention, Other than spirit stones and materials, there is something more valuable here."


    " Uh oh? Brother, What is that?" One of his henchmenughed as he followed his lines.


    " Miss Fei is truly a flower in the wild." The bandit leaderughed lecherously. " If I can have a taste of such a flower, I am willing to reduce ten years of my lifespan."


    "Bastard! How dare you to covet our youngdy?!"


    " So what if I did?" The bandit leader snorted. " You guys are nothing more than a flock of sheep before me. Now, Get obedient and throw your weapon, or I will kill everyone except thedy."


    " Damn it! Everyone, Gather and kill these bastards!"


    " Brothers! Other than the girl, kill everyone!"


    The bandits and the guards engaged in a fierce fight. The guards did their best to protect the caravan and the youngdy. However, the bandit''s strength was simply superior.


    After all, they killed so many people before, their art of killing was refined. In no time, the guards were suppressed.


    " Hehe, Miss Fei, Let''s y a game." The bandit leaderughed as he walked toward the youngdy. " Turn around and start running."


    " The ce where I will catch you is the ce I shall¡­ Hehe, y with you." The bandit leaderughed


    " Boss! Catch her right away!"


    " Hehe, Just fuck her right before these guards. Maybe they will enjoy a good show before dying?"


    " Second brother is smart. I shall gift you a drink today."


    The girl''s face turned pale when she heard that. " Yo-You!"


    " Girl, If you try tomit suicide, I will slowly kill all of these guys." The bandit leader snorted. " If you do as you say, I might ket them live."


    " No! Youngdy! Run as far as you can!"


    " Don''t worry about this old dog! Just run!"


    The girl struggled for a while as her heart was in turmoil. Tears fell from her eyes as she clenched her fists hard.


    " Please! Please someone save me!"


    Suddenly, everyone heard a deafening noise, like a p of thunder. Looking at the sky, everyone saw a purple light shooting in the sky like a meteor.


    However, it changed its direction and fell toward them. The light suddenly burst as it turned into a blooming flower with countless falling petals.


    " So beautiful¡­"


    " Wait, Are those¡­"


    " Arrows?"


    *XIU XIU XIU XIU*


    " AHHHH!"


    " ARGGH!"


    " Save me!!"


    The bandits let out cries of agony and horror as they saw the arrows piercing their bodies and killing them instantly. They saw theirrades'' heads exploding like watermelons, killing them instantly. Meanwhile, those who didn''t die immediately, they got crippled instantly.


    The bandit leader was shocked as he never thought someone would almost kill all of his subordinates in a single attack. He tried to use his saber to block the attack.


    However, the arrows were like the bolts of purple lightning, giving him no time to prepare against it.


    It pierced his divine sea, making him cough a mouthful of blood. Falling on his knees, the bandit leader rolled on the ground with terror and pain.


    The guards who were held captive by the bandits got released as they killed off all the bandits immediately.


    " Miss, Are you alright?"


    " That¡­What was that?"


    Everyone looked at the sky as they saw an ancient treasure boat flying amidst the clouds.


    " They are probably disciples of the righteous sect. To think they helped us."


    " We are truly blessed by the heavens."


    The girl simply cupped her fist as she bowed towards the direction of the flying boat.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Heh, I guess Brother Long would intervene as long as beauty is in trouble, right? Ming Yuexin chuckled.


    " It depends." Long Ming rubbed his chin. " Generally, I won''t harm a prettydy. After all, It won''t be refined and proper. Not to mention, Why kill them if I can get some benefits from them?"


    Mu Qinglian snorted when she heard that. " Shameless pervert! You just want to take advantage of girls."


    " Did I say that?" Long Ming shrugged.


    " However, if it''s my enemy and tries to harm those who are around me, I won''t care if it''s a man or a woman. I will kill both of them equally."


    Seeing the serious aura of Long Ming, Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian felt their heart tremble.


    " Well, We are about to reach the Redstone City. I should speed up." Meng Zhiughed lightly as she waved her hands and adjusted the formations of the flying boat.


    The flying boat roared as it streaked across the sky with great speed.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    When Long Ming and others reached the Redstone City, it was already afternoon.


    Long Ming shrunk the flying boat and kept it in his spatial ring. After that, four of them walked into the city.


    The group attracted the attention of many, as men became jealous when they saw Long Mimg apanying three beauties at once.


    However, other than attracting jealousy, Long Ming also invoked the desires of many women.


    With his light-colored dress and elegant paper fan, Long Ming gave off the aura of a refined, immortal schr.


    " Well, before going to the Seven Leaf Restaurant, How about we visit some other ces?"


    " Sure, We can have dinner in the evening."


    As the group walked, Long Ming saw various shops across the street.


    " A Xuan grade magical sword! A Xuan grade sword only for 10,000 Mid grade spirit stones!"


    " A bottle of rank three True Qi Revolution Pill! All pills are four ringed medicinal pills! Only for 30,000 mid grades spirit stones!"


    Long Ming shook his head as he felt most of these things were too low grade for him. But then, he realized that the most powerful cultivator he saw around was only Low stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    " Hmm, Redstone City isn''t as prosperous as Grand Sky City or Azure Fragrance City, right?" Long Ming asked.


    " Of course. Grand Sky City is an ancient city." Mu Qinglian spoke with a mild chuckle. " And Azure Fragrance City was only prosperous because of the Azure Sun Secret Realm."


    " Just because cultivators above Primordial Spirit Unification Realm aremon in Grand Sky City, that doesn''t mean it''s the same for everywhere else?"


    " Haha, Is that so?"


    " Brother Long, I am kinda getting hungry now." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    " Ah, We can just stroll around after having dinner." Meng Zhi nodded. " Come with me, We are going to the Seven Leaf Restaurant."


    The Seven Leaf Restaurant was a tall building, with a lot of peopleing and going. Since it was evening, the red papernterns were lighting up the building and adding a certain allure.


    " Wee, Guests. What can I do for you?"


    A beautifuldy in a green dress bowed before them as she asked with a smile.


    " We want to dine. Please take us to the most expensive section." Long Ming didn''t bother as he spoke directly.


    " The Sky Room of Seven Leaf Restaurant costs 50,000 Mid grade spirit stones."


    Long Ming nodded and handed her a pouch. " Here you go."


    " Thank you, Esteemed guests. Please, Follow me."


    Thedy led a few floors above as they arrived in a luxurious pavilion.?Long Ming picked a balcony seat as he saw the view was pretty good.


    " You can even gaze at the pond and the garden from here." The waitress smiled. " Esteemed guests, Shall I take your order?"


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian nced at each other as they tried to decide. But Meng Zhi was more calmer.


    " Just give bring all of the best dishes. And yes, The Seven Colored Vermilion Meat too." Meng Zhi smiled.


    " Thisdy is wise. I shall write it down. As for wine¡­"


    " No need, We have our wine." Long Ming waved his hands.


    The waitress was startled when she heard that. " Young Master, Our pavilion''s Fluttering Wind Wine is very delicious."


    " Thank you for your suggestion. But I don''t think it''s as good as mine." Long Ming chuckled.


    " Well, It won''t harm to taste the Fluttering Wind." Ming Yuexin grinned. " Please add two jars of Fluttering Wind."


    " Alright."


    Soon, te after te of hot steaming dishes were served on their table. Long Ming sniffed the aroma and nodded with approval.


    " It does smell good. The chef must be really an experienced person."

 Chapter 187 Promoting Wine

    <h4>Chapter 187 Promoting Wine</h4>


    " Haah! These dishes are pretty good."


    " Mhm, The ingredients contain rich true qi inside them. The meat of the demonic beasts is tender and fresh. The chef really managed to seal their taste in the dishes." Meng Zhi licked her lips as she enjoyed the dishes.


    " Hmm, But these are still pale before Brother Long''s cuisine." Ming Yuexin chuckled.


    " Is that so?" Meng Zhi raised her brows. " I heard that the chef of Seven Leaf Restaurant was the imperial chef of the Holy Qilin Imperial Family. Are you saying Little Brother Long''s culinary skill is that good?"


    " Heh, It looks like sister Meng hasn''t eaten dishes made by Long Ming, huh?" Mu Qinglian chuckled. " Oh my, You really missed a good thing."


    " Haah?" Meng Zhi pouted as she nced at Long Ming. " This is nt fair, Little Brother Long. Now, Both of them are bullying me. You mustpensate me."


    " Hmm, This Fleeting Wind Wine is really strong." Long Ming took a sip as he nodded. " It got the distinct vor of the wind element, one can feel like he is standing outside on a windy day."


    " However, The wind qi inside it is too much, tipping off the bnce of other vors." Long Ming added. " Of course, it''s still inferior to my Four Seasons True Wine."


    Long Ming chuckled as he took out his Heavenly Urn of Frozen me. The moment the Four Seasons True Wine poured out from the jar, a refreshing fragrance of wine spread across the entire floor.


    " Hehe, No matter what, Little Brother Long''s personally brewed wine is the best." Meng Zhi smacked her lips as she took the cup of wine.


    The moment everyone drank it, they felt the four seasons'' true qi circting their body on their own.


    " Mm, This wine is best for any disciples of Four Seasons Valley." Ming Yuexin closed her eyes as she savored the vor.


    After all, the wine was made by Long Ming''s understanding of the intent of the four seasons. If a disciple with a betterprehension contemtes their technique while drinking the wine, they could gain insights easily.


    However, as they were having a good time, an old man suddenly walked to their table.


    " Hoho, Such fragrant wine. It''s been a while since this old daoist smelled such fragrance." The old man sighed as he looked at Long Ming. " Little brother, If you don''t mind, how about you share some wine with me?"


    " This elder, Since you are asking for my wine, I won''t refuse it." Long Ming raised his brows. " However, What do you think the price of this wine is?"


    " Haha, I dare not to tell before tasting it." The old man sighed. " But, Such a fragrance, color, and rich true qi, there are not many wines in the Eastern Province that can match it."


    " Well, Since elder said that, I won''t ask for money before you taste it." Long Ming chuckled as he poured the Four Seasons True Wine into a jade cup.


    The multicolored wine slowly separated into four colors before blending with each other once again.


    " This¡­Mmm¡­"


    The old man became startled when he took a sip of the wine. As he closed his eyes and savored the wine, Long Ming nced at him with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    '' Peak of Harmonization Realm, I can even see the faint aura of water qi?from his body.'' Long Ming pondered in his heart. However, What made him curious was that the belt was worn by the old man.


    The insignia on it made him remember something. Long ago, He helped an old man in Grand Sky City to unlock the secret of a painting with his mastery of zither. The old man gave him some spirit stones along with a token. It looked almost the same, but the token held by Long Ming was made with purple gold.


    " What a wine! To think I had the fate to taste such heavenly wine today!" The old man finished the cup in a single gulp as he smacked his lips. However, it was evident that he couldn''t get sated with a mere cup of wine.


    " So, Esteemed Elder, Are you willing to spend 50,000 High grade spirits stones to purchase a jar of wine?"?Long Ming grinned.


    " What? 50,000 High grade spirit stones for a single jar?!" The old man sobered as he almost jumped.


    " Elder, You know I am not trying to swindle you." Long Ming chuckled. " Sister Meng, Am I not telling the truth?"


    " Indeed." Meng Zhi jumped in. " You can only find this wine in the Eternal Spring Tower of Grand Sky City. Not to mention, the wine there is the inferior version of this wine."


    " Hehe, If Elder is short of money, You can go there and purchase the wine at a low price." Ming Yuexin giggled.


    " It''s truly a fate that I tasted such wine." The old man sighed as he ced a ring before Long Ming. " Here, 100,000 High grade spirit stones. Please give me two jars worth of wine."


    " Here, Elder. This is called Four Seasons True Wine, made by Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming poured the wine into a jade bottle.


    " Four Seasons Valley? Interesting, After years, they are again in highlight." The old man was startled " After all, An imperial lineage with three Heavenly Emperors can''t fall so easily."


    " Eh? You have me four jars of wine?" The old man saw the quantity and he was surprised.


    " Haha, Elder, Please treat it as the meeting gift from juniors." Long Ming smiled. " However, I hope you can give me the answer to a small question."


    " Yes?"


    " This token¡­" Long Ming merely showed the token to the old man. But it was enough for the old man to recognize it.


    " This¡­ Purple Gold token of Rain Dragon Commerce?" The old man trembled as he was shocked. " Little brother, Where did you get this? This is the proof that you are a VIP customer of Rain Dragon Commerce."


    " What? Rain Dragon Commerce?" Meng Zhi and others were startled when they heard that.


    " What''s this Rain Dragon Commerce?" Long Ming was confused.


    " Little Brother Long, The Rain Dragon Commerce one of the topmercepanies across the entire continent. They influence the flow of spirit stones, rare treasures, and medicinal pills across the continent." Meng Zhi exined.


    " For example, The Hundred Treasure Pavilion was a store operated by them. There are hundreds of stores across the Eastern Province, not to mention the entire Rain Dragon Continent."


    " Thisdy is wise." The old man nodded hurriedly. " Not to mention, this Purple Gold Token can give you a 30% discount while purchasing treasures from the Rain Dragon Commerce."


    " I am Zhu Yuan, an elder of the Eastern Province branch of Rain Dragon Commerce."


    " Well, Long ago, I met an elder who carried a mysterious painting and a zither in Grand Sky City. I helped in unlocking the painting, so he gave me this token as a gift."


    " Could it be¡­"


    Zhu Yuan seemed to realize something as he cupped his fist. " Little brother, It seems you are the benefactor of someone important in Rain Dragon Commerce. This Purple Gold Token is legit. So, Please keep it safe and use it during the purchase in Rain Dragon Commerce."


    " Haha, Since Elder Zhu Yuan confirmed it, I have no doubt." Long Ming cupped his fist. " Please, Enjoy your food and wine."


    " Thank you too, Little Brother. You really made my day."


    After Zhu Yuan went back to his seat, the three girls looked at Long Ming with shocked gaze.


    " When did you get the Purple Gold Token?" Mu Qinglian was shocked.


    " Remember when we helped an old man in Grand Sky City while putting up promotional banners of our Eternal Spring Tower?"


    " Interesting, Not many can have their hands on such a treasure." Meng Zhi smacked her lips. " Little brother is hiding so many things."


    " Well, Since we have finished dining, How about going back?" Long Ming chuckled.


    All of them looked at each other as they nodded. Long Ming suddenly nced at Meng Zhi as he remembered something.


    " Sister Meng, Can youe with me? I need to talk with you about something."


    " Oh my, Could it be¡­" Meng Zhi put a shocked expression on her face. " Little brother finally fell to my charms?"


    Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian reacted like startled cats whose hairs stood on its end. Long Ming could feel their fierce gazes as he gave a dry cough as he waved his hands.


    " Big Sister Meng, Please don''t joke like that. It''s something about your cultivation."


    " Ah¡­"


    Meng Zhi''s face turned stiff when she heard that. " Very well, I shall apany you."


    " What about us?"


    Both Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin nced at Long Ming as they spoke in unison.


    " What? Since it''s a private talk, you obviously can''t participate." Meng Zhi giggled as she held Long Ming.


    With a gust of wind, she vanished along with Long Ming.

 Chapter 188 Meng Zhi’s Problem

    <h4>Chapter 188 Meng Zhi''s Problem</h4>


    " So? What do you wish to talk about, Little Brother?" Meng Zhi and Long Ming walked to the terrace as she asked Long Ming with a curious voice.


    " It''s about the damage in your divine sea, Sister Meng." Long Ming spoke as he looked at Meng Zhi.


    " Ah, That¡­"


    Meng Zhi''s eyes narrowed as she looked at Long Ming. " But how did you know?"


    " Sister Meng, You practice the spring branch technique of Eternal Spring Tower, right?" Long Ming spoke in a light voice. " I have felt the spring season qi from various other spring branch cultivators."


    " However, your aura is pretty unstablepared to other cultivators who practice simr techniques."


    " Not to mention, there is a strange Yin qi inside your body colliding with your gentle spring qi." Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he gazed at Meng Zhi.


    " Well, Your eyes are pretty sharp, I have to admit." Meng Zhi smiled. " But you don''t need to worry about¡­"


    " Actually, I was thinking of something." Long Ming nced at Meng Zhi. " I am thinking of passing the Gentle Spring Rejuvenation Technique to you."


    " What? Gentle Spring Rejuvenation Technique?!" Meng Zhi was startled as she nced at Long Ming. " Isn''t that a top ss Royal grade technique and the derived version of Returning Spring Flowing Energy Art?"


    " Little Brother Long, Even if you have this technique, you can''t casually pass it to me." Meng Zhi hurriedly spoke. " After all, The elders can only gain high-level techniques through loyalty and merit. I¡­"


    " Sister Meng, I got this technique due to my diligence. I don''t think Master would me me for that." Long Ming waved his hands. " Besides, Sister Meng helped me so much when I arrived here first. I can at least do that for you."


    " However, We need to solve the problem inside your divine sea before you practice this technique." Long Ming pondered. " After all, if the conflict of two different energies happens in your divine sea, it would be harmful to you."


    " My divine sea is infected by Evil Moon Yin qi. Such a Yin Qi is a pretty powerful and rare type of qi." Meng Zhi pursed her lips." If controlled well, I can slowly use it to cultivate even imperial grade physique."


    " However, for me, it''s no worse than poison. It''s already good that my current cultivation technique is keeping it suppressed." Meng Zhi sighed as she nced outside, looking at the nightlight of the city.


    " If you allow me, Can I check it?" Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi.


    " Please be careful. It might be harmful to you." Meng Zhi turned around and looked at Long Ming.


    Suddenly, her body trembled as she felt Long Ming''s fingers tracing on her abdomen. Meng Zhi''s voice became coy as she looked at Long Ming. " Are you enjoying?"


    Long Ming almost stumbled when he felt Meng Zhi''s fingers caressing his hair.


    " Sister Meng¡­I¡­I am trying to be serious here, ok?" Long Ming blushed as he focused on using his divine sense.


    Using the Eternal True Spirit Arts, Long Ming''s divine sense slowly seeped int the divine sea of Meng Zhi as he also used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    As a Harmonization Realm cultivator, Meng Zhi''s divine sea was prettyrge and solid. The True Qi inside her already turned into liquid Qi and flew into her divine sea.


    Along with the familiar spring qi, Long Ming noticed a patch of pitch ck qi with a tint of deep blue.


    It was like a deep cold sea with an aura of darkness and sce. It does not mean an ordinary qi as it carries a dense energy of Yin qi.


    However, instead of being one with Meng Zhi, it was like a patch of tumor, constantly corroding the spring qi inside her divine sea.


    " This¡­ This type of Yin qi could only be cultivated. Did Sister Meng cultivate such a technique in the past?"


    " I¡­"


    Meng Zhi''s facial expression flinched as if she remembered some unpleasant memories. " Something like that, but that''s not the issue now."


    Long Ming felt the shift in the mood as he diverted the topic. " It looks like due to some reason, some foreign influence merged with your Evil Moon Yin qi. If we manage to refine it, you will be able to refine this patch of qi and bolster your cultivation once again."


    " But Little Brother, This Evil Moon Yin qi is very fierce. Even¡­.Unorthodox faction cultivators might feel helpless before it." Meng Zhi gave a bitter smile. " Either you need a robust Yang qi to counter it, or even more powerful and matching Yin qi to subdue it."


    " But using Yang energy to counter it, I am afraid it will damage your foundation." Long Ming smiled lightly.


    " You really know everything." Meng Zhi chuckled.


    '' Hmm, I wonder if it would work.'' Long Ming pondered as he used his Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art. The Fragrant Yin qi swirled around his body as he condensed a sharp de of pink qi on his palm.


    " Sister Meng, You must inform me immediately if anything goes wrong, ok??"


    " Huh?"


    Suddenly, Meng Zhi felt Long Ming injecting a thread of Fragrant Yin qi inside her divine sea. The threads of pink qi circled around the patch of Evil Moon Yin qi.


    The dark qi churned as it devoured all the fragments of the pink qi. However, instead of being able to refine it, The pink qi shone inside the dark patch.


    " Agghh!"


    Meng Zhi clenched her fist as a painful moan escaped from her mouth. Long Ming was about to withdraw his Fragrant Yin Qi. However, Meng Zhi felt his hands.


    " D-Don''t¡­.It''s¡­working." Meng Zhi clenched her fist as she nodded. Long Ming became more serious as he carefully weaved the Fragrant Yin Qi around the dark patch of qi.


    The pink Fragrant Yin Qi threads spun like a spinning wheel as they chipped down the dark patch at a rapid pace.


    Meng Zhi clenched her teeth as it felt like hundreds of knives slicing her. However, she realized that Long Ming''s strange pink qi was refining the wildness inside her Evil Moon Yin qi.


    '' Ugh, It''s been years since I am getting tormented by this thing.'' Meng Zhi winced as her thoughts became chaotic. '' But, If Long Ming can truly heal me¡­ I can finally be free and increase my strength.''


    '' And¡­I shall return¡­and give that bitch the most terrifying death.'' A cold ray shed in Meng Zhi''s eyes as she firmed her heart. However, seeing Long Ming was doing his best to refine that dark patch. Meng Zhi''s eyes regained their warmth.


    Long Ming realized that the Fragrant Yin Qi was a pretty powerful Yin qi that could refine the viciousness of the Evil Moon Yin qi. Long Ming''s Fragrant Yin qi slowly increased as it suppressed Evil Moon Yin qipletely.


    As the pink qi swirled, the pitch ck patch slowly turned into an orb of midnight blue color.


    Long Ming retracted his Fragrant Yin qi as he panted. " Damn, I never expected this small patch of Evil Moon Yin qi would be this fierce."


    " This¡­ The wildness of the Evil Moon Yin qi subdued greatly. But¡­Still, it needs a bit more¡­Refinement." Meng Zhi''s pain eased as she nced at Long Ming.


    " Well, No need to worry." Long Ming grinned. " I am not going anywhere else. We can slowly cure your ailment."


    " But your qi was so strange." Meng Zhi nced at Long Ming. " It''s much simr to the spring qi I cultivate. But your thing¡­ It''s so much robust."


    " Indeed, Do you want to see it?" Long Ming grinned as he condensed a ball of Fragrant Yin qi and showed it to Meng Zhi.


    " Mm, such vor¡­ If I can get it, my cultivation will increase." Meng Zhi touched the ball of Fragrant Yin qi as she chuckled.


    Long Ming could feel that Meng Zhi''s mood toward him became more and more favorable, making her generate more and more Fragrant Yin Qi.


    " Well, I guess I should reward Little Brother Long¡­"


    " Shall I take it off?" Long Ming showed his Fragrant Yin qi as he asked.


    " Yeah, I already have enough. I want to¡­"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " What do you think they are talking about?" Ming Yuexin suddenly asked. Mu Qinglian snorted lightly. " Why are you caring, Sister Ming?"


    " You don''t?"


    " I don''t." Mu Qinglian replied in a t voice. But then, her expression turned stiff.


    " But¡­I guess it won''t harm if we¡­hear what they are talking about."


    Ming Yuexin smirked as she got up and walked to where Long Ming and Meng Zhi were talking.


    " Mm, Yours is so robust."


    Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian became thunderstruck when they heard that voice. Meng Zhi''s voice was so sultry that it made both their faces unsightly. Then, they heard Long Ming''s voice.


    " Indeed, Do you want to see it?"


    " This¡­"


    Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian nced at each other with shock.


    " Well, I guess I should reward Little Brother Long¡­"


    "?Shall I take it off?"


    " Yeah, I already have enough. I want to¡­"


    Mu Qinglian couldn''t hear any more as she burst inside.


    " What are you doing?!"

 Chapter 189 Misty Hills

    <h4>Chapter 189 Misty Hills</h4>


    " Well?"


    Both Meng Zhi and Long Ming nced at the two girls with surprise as they burst into the room. However, seeing Meng Zhi and Long Ming weren''t in any inappropriate position, Mu Qinglian, and Ming Yuexin became a bit relieved.


    " Oh my, Look what you did, Little Brother Long." Meng Zhi suddenly hugged Long Ming. " I told you, if we wish to do such things, we should have gone to a more private ce."


    Long Ming''s expression turned dark when he realized Meng Zhi was trying to add fuel in the fire. Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin''s expression froze when they saw that.


    " Elder Meng, Aren''t you acting a bit out of your elder position?" Ming Yuexin drew a sharp breath as she nced at Meng Zhi.


    " So what?" Meng Zhi pursed her lips. " I am also a human. I can do whatever I wish."


    " Yo-You! Shameless!" Ming Yuexin cursed Meng Zhi under her breath. Mu Qinglian was so speechless as she shook her head. She knew that she wouldn''t be able to prate the thick skin of Meng Zhi.


    " Alright, Alright!" Long Ming pushed back Meng Zhi gently as he waved his hands. " It''s alreadyte, Shouldn''t we go and take some rest?"


    " Why? I am not tired at all." Ming Yuexin curled her lips. " How about Brother Long apany me to walk around the night market?"


    " It''s already night. Where do you wish to bring him at this time? Brothrel?" Mu Qinglian snorted.


    " Well, You guys might not be tired. But I am." Long Ming rolled his eyes. " I am going to sleep. If you guys have so much energy, then practice cultivation. After all, the Battle Tournament is near."


    Saying that Long Ming hurriedly walked to his room. The three girls looked at each other as sparks appeared in the air.


    The next day, they had breakfast in Seven Leaf Restaurant. After having breakfast, they resumed their journey. Their next stop was the Misty Hills which falls right between the Holy Qilin City and Redstone City.


    As they arrived, Long Ming could see a chain of hills covered with misty clouds from the distance. On the foot of the hill, there was a small town called Misty Hill Town.


    However, although a small town, Long Ming felt that this small town had more experts than Red Stone City.


    Looking at the hills, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he felt like the mists bing denser and denser.


    Suddenly, he felt a strange oppressive aura, as if the misty cloud rolling in. He felt like his body was weighed down. Not only one, but a mix of verious chaotic aura soared to the sky and covered teh entire chains of hills along with Misty Hills Town.


    '' The aura of hundreds of supreme experts. The enlightenment andprehension of all those beings turned this ce into an auspicious ground.'' Long Ming pondered inwardly.


    " Everyone,e here, We will thoroughly guide you through the Misty Hills."


    " In the dense mist, It''s easier for even Harmonization Realm Cultivators to get lost. Not to mention, there are also many demonic beasts lurking here."


    " However, we can lead you to the peak of the Misty Hills safe and sound."


    " What are they doing?" Ming Yuexin nced at them as she became curious.


    " You can consider them as tour guides. The Misty Hills, as its name suggests, all the hills are covered with a strange mist." Meng Zhi smiled." The mist can even cloud someone''s divine sense, making them unable to distinguish the directions."


    " Not to mention, getting lost there, you can easily be the food of demonic beasts. Therefore, these tour guides are pretty popr here."


    " I don''t think I will get lost here." Long Ming pursed his lips as he looked at the hills.


    " Of course, Not everyone gets lost inside it." Meng Zhi rolled his eyes. " As long as you have powerful spiritual qi andprehension, you can easily traverse the Misty Hill."


    " I see, Isn''t this ce like a test?" Mu Qinglian suddenly spoke.


    " You can say that. Some people says that the summit is where Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea spent some time while contemting about his techniques." Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " Therefore, That ce became the ce where various people go to pay homage or gainprehension."


    Long Ming nodded as he looked at the town.


    The Heavenly Emperor is simply like a miraculous existence. With just a touch, even a stone would turn into spirit gold and even a dying mortal could live for thousands of years.


    Anything rted to the Heavenly Emperor can make the crowd go crazy.


    As they got a rough map of the Misty Hills, Long Ming realized that there was a straight pathway to the summit of the Misy Hill. However, that peak wasn''t the ce where Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea was cultivated.


    Besides, Although the main road is straight and infested with less danger, it doesn''t connect the key ces, where the tour guides can take people.


    " Alright, Why don''t we have a little adventure?" Long Ming grinned as he picked a road. All three girls looked at each other as they nodded with a smile.


    " Hmm, Then let''s go." Long Ming chuckled as they picked a mountain path and began their journey.


    Due to a strange suppression, the flying treasures get affected heavily inside the Misty Hills. So, everyone simply travels by foot.


    As they entered the deep forest, Long Ming saw many people looking around here and there, as if they were looking at something.


    " Elder Meng, Do you know what are they doing?" Mu Qinglian became curious.


    " The Misty Hills are filled with various natural treasures. One among them is Misty Water Ore."


    " The Misty Water Ore contains a dense amount of water qi inside them. Not only it''s good for forging water attribute weapons, a cultivator can use it and gain insight in the Grand Dao of Water."


    " The ore is scattered here and there, and even a small piece can fetch a good price. The bigger and deeper the color of the ore, the more expensive it will be."


    " Aha, Are they trying to mine those ores?" Ming Yuexin gave a nod of understanding.


    " Well, Unless being proficient innd geography, trying to find the ores like that purely depends on luck." Long Ming shook his head as he moved forward.


    As they went deeper in the forest, the mist around them became thicker and thicker.


    However, with Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could easily see through the dense mist.


    Suddenly, Ming Yuexin''s expression changed as a ming sword condensed in her hands. Without a second''s dy, she threw it nto the mist.


    *BOOOM*


    Everyone became alert as they looked around.


    " What happened?"


    " Enemy attack?"


    Ming Yuexin looked around as she frowned. " I thought I felt a shadow approaching toward us."


    " A shadow?"


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes scanned their surroundings as he frowned. " But, I can''t see anything here."


    " Strange, But I felt it though." Ming Yuexin muttered.


    But then, It was Meng Zhi''s turn.


    " Huh? Did you say anything?"


    " What?"


    Meng Zhi frowned as she looked around. " I suddenly felt someone is watching us. But, There is nobody."


    " Ah, Could it be¡­Illusions?"


    Long Ming nced at the mist as he suddenly spoke. Meng Zhi''s eyes shone as she nodded.


    " It seems like that. I heard that people sometimes go crazy inside the mist. Perhaps, they might be experiencing illusions here?"


    " Everyone, Calm your heart, and don''t let your thoughts run wild." Long Ming had some understanding of illusions as heprehended the ancient word Illusion before.


    " Do not let your divine sense spread far. The dense mist around here probably going to affect your senses."


    But then, they suddenly heard a growling sound, like a beast charging towards them.


    " This¡­A demonic beast is charging towards us." Long Ming''s eyes flicked as he gazed at it. Everyone got ready as they saw the mist parting a giant bear like demonic beast came rushing towards them.


    " That¡­ That''s Cloud Treading Bear!" Meng Zhi was surprised. " Little Brother, We must hunt it."


    " Huh? Why?"


    " Because the demonic core of Cloud Treading Bear is very precious. It can nourish the soul of Harmonization Realm cultivators. Not to mention, there might be a chance that it had an innate water intent bone."


    The water intent bone is something where the water intent power of Cloud Treading Beast resides, simr to the dao bone LOng Ming got earlier. If refined well, it can help a cultivator tremendously.


    " It''s a mid stage Harmonization Realm demonic beast. Everyone, get ready." Long Ming spoke as he casually walked back.


    " Huh? What are you doing?"


    Mu Qinglian nced at Long Ming.


    " What? I am the weakest person here. Shouldn''t I stay behind?" Long Ming grinned. " Elder Meng, Senior Sister Mu, hurry up and kill that beast."


    Long Ming leaned back on the tree as he saw Mu Qinglian and Meng Zhi getting ready to face the beast.


    After a while, they managed to kill the beast, making Long Ming apud.


    " Well, Although you could have killed it a bit faster, but good job nheless."


    " Brother Long, can you not bezy for once?" Ming Yuexin rolled her eyes.


    However¡­


    " Who killed my targeted beast?"

 Chapter 190 Crushing The Enemies

    <h4>Chapter 190 Crushing The Enemies</h4>


    Long Ming and others became startled as a group of people appeared from the direction the demonic beast came. Judging from their clothes, they looked like members of of ancient family.


    " Damn it! How dare you kill this beast?" A young man wearing a white robe looked at Long Ming and others as he cursed out loud.


    But then, seeing Mu QInglian, Meng Zhi, and Ming Yuexin, he suddenly paused, as if he got mesmerized by their beauty.


    However, he concealed his expression as he spoke in a cold voice. " This beast was marked by me, Qi Baifu. How dare you guys to kill it?"


    " Hand over the demonic beast core and other things if you guys don''t want trouble."


    Long Ming walked forward as he circled around the corpse. As he looked at it intently, as if he was trying to search for something.


    " You! What are you doing? Hurry up and hand over the core!" Qi Baifu snorted when he saw Long Ming.


    " No, I am just searching for the name of Qi Baifu on this beast. Do you know where is it?" Long Ming looked at Qi Baifu.


    " That¡­How is it possible? Why would my name be marked on that beast?"


    " Then how did you say this beast was marked by you?" Long Ming fanned himself with his Peach Blossom Fan. " Where is the proof, huh?"


    " Yo-You! I saw that beast first! Obviously, it''s my target!"


    " Well, I think you are lying. We saw this beast first and we killed it." Long Ming chuckled


    " What? Not convinced? Show me your proof and I might consider handing you the demonic beast core and corpse."


    " Bastard!" Qi Baifu took a deep breath as he chuckled. " Well, I guess it was my fault. I shouldn''t have tried to reason with you guys."


    " Uncle Bo, go and break that pretty boy''s legs." Qi Baifu snorted lightly. Then, looking at the three girls, he smirked. " Beautiful sisters, Why not leave that pretty boy ande with me? I can easily tour you around the Misty Hills, with more fun and pleasure."


    Long Ming sighed when he heard that. '' Herees another young toad lusting after swan meat.''


    " Qinglian, Is this person a retard?" Ming Yuexin pointed at Qi Baifu as she spoke. " Does he think we can''t deal with him and his subordinates?"


    Qi Baifu''s eyelids twitched when he heard that. " Damn it! Who do you think I am? I am?Qi Baifu! I am the second young master of Qi Family of Misty Hills Town. You think you guys canpete with me?"


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered as he nced at Qi Baifu. He already reached Mid stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. However, the two old servants standing behind him, One of them reached High stage of the Harmonization Realm while the other one was at Mid stage of the Harmonization Realm.


    '' No wonder this kid is so arrogant. Two servants of Harmonization Realm, it looks like his background is pretty good.'' Long Ming chuckled inwardly.


    '' But, I don''t fucking care.''


    " Don''t worry, Young Master. Old Bo will do it fast." The steward named Uncle Fu walked toward Long Ming as a sneer appeared on his face.


    " Boy, Why don''t you break your own legs and ask forgiveness from my young master? Maybe in that way, he will spare your life."


    " Is that so? Damn, I am so scared." Long Ming swung his palm as his paper fan snapped and closed instantly.


    " Damn it, This bastard¡­" Mu Qinglian was about to step up, but Long Ming patted her shoulders. " Well, You all called mezy. So, I guess I need to stretch my body and show you guys some fun, no?"


    " Haha! What an arrogant bastard. Hmph, I guess you chose the worst oue, huh?"


    " Well, Little Brother, You handle this one. And, I shall get the other one." Meng Zhi saw Long Ming waspletely confident. Therefore, she put her faith in Long Ming and looked at the other old man.


    " Come here, Old geezer. Let me see how powerful the Qi Family is."


    " Young Master, Back down!"


    " Uncle Hu, You¡­"


    Qi Baifu felt something amiss as he backed away. Uncle Hu saw Meng Zhi''s body burst into beautiful flowers as she blurred from her ce. Suddenly, countless green vines erupted from the ground and charged at Uncle Hu.


    " Oi, Old man, Your opponent is me." Long Ming snorted when he saw Old Bo be bewildered. Long Ming used his Rushing Lightning Steps and vanished from his spot.


    " This bastard!"


    Old Bo raised his palm as an earth colored shield appeared before him. Long Ming appeared right before him as his ws swirled with Fragrant Yin Qi.


    " Silkwave Demonic Yin Palm!"


    *BOOOM*


    The earthen shield trembled violently when Long Ming''s palm fell on it. However, Old Bo took a few steps back as he felt a tremor through his body.


    '' Damn it? How could his attack still reach me? I thought I blocked it?'' Old Bo was stunned. '' Could it be¡­Vibrations?''


    " Old bastard, Don''t get dazed! Ocean Parting Fist!"


    Long Ming used his intent of water as his fist was covered with swirling water qi. His fist contained enough power to even part the ocean water.


    *BOOOOM*


    Old Bo again pushed back a few steps as he was shocked. He couldn''t see the cultivation base of Long Ming. But he didn''t believe someone as young as Long Ming would reach the Harmonization Realm.


    And even if he did, he must be a pretty famous and well known person.


    " Damn it! A junior like you dare to fight against me?!" Old Bo became enraged when he saw Qi Baifu looking at his fight from afar. He didn''t want to get embarrassed in front of his young master. So, his aura of Mid stage Harmonization Realm exploded.


    " Damn it! Face my Earth Shifting Nine Palms!"


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt the ground beneath him rumbling as he jumped, using his Raging Storm Wings to fly.


    However, several gigantic palms made up of earth and stones erupted from the ground and soared to the sky, trying to crush Long Ming with a swat.


    Long Ming felt a shift of a vast amount of earth qi towards Old Bo. It was as if he became one with the surrounding earth qi.


    Although Long Ming tried to fly higher, he suddenly felt the gravity around him turning heavy as it tried to pull him back. Each of the earthen palms was like an independent existence, attacking Long Ming without any pattern at all.


    '' I see. That old bastard already reached the initial stages ofprehending the intent of earth. Not to mention, using his Harmonization Realm cultivation base, he can be one with the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.''


    It was Long Ming''s first time fighting properly with a Harmonization Realm cultivator without using his imperial physique. However, with the help of hisprehension of the various intents and the power of Fragrant Yin qi, he managed to bridge the gap between their strengths.


    But of course, Long Ming knew that if he dragged the fight like this, it wouldn''t be long before Old Bo really killed him.


    " Bastard! Get down!" Old Bo snorted as a dark colored scepter appeared in his hands. With a swing, a gigantic mountain appeared above Long Ming, falling on him with great speed.


    " Well? Using a mountain to crush me? How foolish." Long Mingughed as he suddenly vanished.


    The earthen palms fell as the mountain crashed. Old Boughed coldly when he saw the dust of cloud.


    " Hah, You thought you could get away from me?"


    " Well, I did."


    A chill spread in Old Bo''s spine when he heard that voice. Turning around, he saw Long Ming standing behind him with a light smile.


    " Ho-How did you¡­"


    Suddenly, he saw an illusory gigantic mountain appearing above Long Ming as it expanded, with its peak covered with auspicious clouds.


    Just looking at it, Old Bo felt a giant weight weighing on his heart. " Th-That¡­ Is that a¡­special physique¡­?"


    As chilling fear consumed his heart. Old Bo raised his hands as the true qi overflowed around him and walls made of glowing rocs soared around him, turning into a domain of rocks around him.


    " Earth Protection Great Shield!"


    " Toote!"


    Long Mingughed crazily as his Great Mystic Mountain Physique erupted with full power. His fist was covered with a deep and heavy aura, as if the power and weight of a mountain were concentrated in his fist.


    " Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist!"


    Everyone''s eyes turned wide as Long Ming''s aura seemed to crush the entire area. The mist blew away along with arge patch of forest as Long Ming''s fistnded on the shield of Old Bo.


    *BOOOM BOOOM*


    The stone shield barely managed to hold for a few seconds before getting crushed by Long Ming''s tremendous power. Long Ming retained his power slightly during thest minute, hoping he wouldn''t kill Old Bo.


    Old Bo felt his body turning into mush as he got crushed by Long Ming''s fist. He crashed several dozen feet away, twitching like a bloody meat paste.


    " Sister Ming, I am toozy to kill him. Can you help me a bit?" Long Ming chuckled.


    " Whatever you say."


    Ming Yuexin threw a sword condensed with her sword intent and intent of fire, killing the almost dead Old Bo instantly.


    Meanwhile, the battle between Meng Zhi and Uncle Fu raged on. But strange enough, Qi Baifu retreated quite a lot away.


    " Who said you can escape?"

 Chapter 191 Erasing Evidence

    <h4>Chapter 191 Erasing Evidence</h4>


    Meng Zhi used a short sword as she fought against Uncle Hu. Her sword glowed with a mix of gentle light with a calm and refreshing feeling.


    However, The wind and leaves soared along with her sword, charging toward Uncle Hu.


    " Hmph! Even if you are a Harmonization Realm cultivator, You think you can defeat me?!" Uncle Hu roared as his aura exploded. He pulled out a saber as it glowed with a terrifying crimson radiance.


    He already became agitated when he saw Old Bo get crushed by Long Ming alone. He never thought a groupprised of such young and beautiful women and a young man would be hiding such powerful monsters.


    He didn''t dy and used all his power at once. His saber gave out a battle cry as it turned into a several hundred meters long saber. Several spirits of beasts looking like crimson bulls charged out from it.


    " Berserking Demon Bull Charge!"


    Each of the crimson bulls was condensed with the powerful saber intent. Unlike Old Bo, Uncle Hu was more veteran and experienced. He alreadyprehended saber intent along with the Grand Completion stage of his Earth grade battle technique.


    " Aura of Spring! Block!"


    Meng Zhi pointed her short sword as green vines trapped the iing bulls. The vines squeezed around them, exploding their bodies. However, some bulls managed to pierce through the twisted vines and reached Meng Zhi.


    Flowers bloomed around Meng Zhi as she blocked the attack gracefully with her sword.


    " Blooming Spring! Hundred Sword shes!"


    The flowers spun as they turned into sword flowers. Each of the sword flowers filled with the aura of spring seasons as they shot toward Old Hu.


    " Hmph! Paltry tricks!"


    Old Hu snorted as he shed out his saber. The saber intent spread soared as the saber turned into a giant arc of crimson light. Meng Zhi raised her sword as it was covered with a green light. However, she got sted back a hundred steps as she feel stumbled.


    "Arggh!" Meng Zhi winced in pain as she red at Uncle Hu. A thin trace of blood dripped from the corner of her lips as she licked it.


    " Haah, I really embarrassed myself before my juniors. How pathetic." Meng Zhi sighed as she saw Long Ming was looking at her.


    " Sister Meng, Stay behind, I shall see it." Mu Qinglian spoke in a light voice as she stepped forward.


    " Lass, Even that woman couldn''t defeat me. You think you can¡­" As Uncle Hu was mocking, his expression changed when he saw Mu Qinglian soaring to the sky.


    A sword appeared in her hand, looking like made from pure ice crystal. Suddenly, the surroundings became cool as the sword shone with an icy radiance.


    " Deste Winter Sword Art! Falling Snow Sword!"


    An illusory great sword materialized out of thin air as shot toward Uncle Hu. Swirling with a powerful yet chilling sword intent, just looking at it can make someone''s heart throb with fear.


    " Damn it! Berserking Saber sh!"


    Uncle Hu''s power of High stage Harmonization Realm exploded as his saber soared into the sky. However, the crimson aura of saber intent got shed by Mu Qinglian''s sword.


    The frozen sword didn''t stop as it fell on Uncle Hu.


    " Damn it! How is this possible?!" Uncle Hu took out a talisman and ripped it. Instantly, a dark colored shield appeared around Uncle Hu, protecting against Mu Qinglian''s attack.


    " Interesting, To think you have an Earth grade talisman. But, It won''t be protecting you against my next attack." Mu Qinglian snorted as she added a bit more power to her attack. After all, if Mu Qinglian used her full power, she could easily fight against Uncle Hu.


    However, instead of charging forward, Uncle Hu suddenly turned around and rushed at Qi Baifu.


    " Young Master, Hurry up and retreat!"


    Qi Baifu was stunned when he saw the sudden change of events. He never thought the weak looking pretty boy would be able to kill Old Bo. Even Uncle Hu was forced to retreat.


    " Damn it! Do you think Qi Family is a pushover!" Qi Baifu roared as he clenched his fist. " Useless! Everyone is useless!"


    " Young Master, It''s better if we retreat. We don''t know their origins. What if we¡­"


    " Shut up!" Qi Baifu roared as he nced at Long Ming and others. " Hmph, Just because you guys have a bit of power, you think you can contend against me? Courting death!"


    Suddenly, a box appeared in Qi Baifu''s hand and his smile turned cold." This box is¡­"


    " No need to extend this fight."


    Uncle Hu''s expression changed instantly when he saw a pink beam of light. He shed out his saber to block that beam of light. However, the moment the saber touched the pink sh, Uncle Hu realized that it was simply a mirage.


    The pink light vanished as another pink dart of light shed past it. Qi Baifu''s eyes turned wide as he saw the pink dart of light blossoming like a flower before him.


    " Wh-What the¡­"


    *BOOOM*


    The pink dart of light pierced Qi Baifu''s divine sea as it exploded like a firework. Qi Baifu got sted back as the box flew from his hands. However, before it couldnd, Long Ming suddenly appeared and held that box out of nowhere.


    " Bastard! You dare!"


    Uncle Hu''s eyes turned red when he saw half of Qi Baifu''s abdomen was missing as hey on the ground bloodied. However, before he could react, he felt an oppressive aura of ice made him freeze on his spot.


    " Deste Winter Sword Art! Frozen Flower''s Radiance!"


    Mu Qinglian used that opportunity as she secretly used a part of her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body and his Frozen Flower Sword. The Frozen Flower Sword is a powerful Royal grade weapon.


    Now since Uncle Hu was distracted, Mu Qinglian''s attack was simply fatal. With a single sh, a wave of frozen qi erupted from her sword, enveloping Uncle Hu in it.


    Uncle Hu tried his best, yet Mu Qinglian''s attack was simply vicious, even making his true qi freeze. After that, her sword bloomed as it shattered the body of Uncle Hu''s body.


    " AARGGHHHH!"


    " HELP!"


    " ARRGH!"


    Long Ming held the box as he saw Ming Yuexin kill the remaining subordinates of Qi Baifu.


    Qi Baifu rolled on the ground in agony as he was bleeding profusely. Long Ming walked towards Qi Baifu as he held the box, showing off in front of his dying eyes.


    " Let me guess,?This is some sort of item left behind by one of your powerful ancestors of high cultivation realm which would enable you to unleash a devastating attack?" Long Ming smiled.


    " Bastard!...If I seeded, You all¡­Would have died¡­" Qi Baifu clenched his teeth as he gaze a deathly gaze at Long Ming.


    " But you didn''t." Long Mingughed. " Like, why say so much bullshit about item''s history before using it? You saw that, right? You dyed and got fucked in the end."


    " Anyway, I got this item so, Thanks, Fellow brother."


    Qi Baifu felt like vomiting another mouthful of blood out of anger when he heard Long Ming. Not to mention, looking at Long Ming''s polite, fox like smile, Qi Baifu felt like strangling him to death.


    However, Long Ming only chuckled as he walked away. Ming Yuexin walked to him and kicked him viciously. " Hey bastard, you were really right. Thanks to you, we really had a fun time."


    " But guess what? Fun is over. Now die."


    " No! Wait! Don''t kill me!" Qi Baifu finally gave up. " I am from Qi Family! I¡­I will give you anything you want! Don''t kill me, bastards! The Qi Family won''t let you go!"


    " Noisy!" Long Ming shouted, making Qi Baifu shut down. Ming Yuexin shrugged. " See? I can''t annoy Senior Brother Long anymore. So¡­"


    A ball of scorching yellow mes appeared in Ming Yuexin''s palm as he threw it at Qi Baifu''s body. With an agonizing scream, Qi Baifu''s body incinerated into ashes.


    Long Ming also used his azure mes and burnt all the corpses in the surroundings. After that, he activated his Great Mystic Mountain Body and ttened the entire area.


    " Oh my, Aren''t you doing too much for erasing evidence?" Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " Well, I just don''t like to leave any mess behind." Long Ming became amused. After that, he took out some things and scattered them around.


    " These¡­ Aren''t these the things belong to Blissful Heaven Temple disciples?" Ming Yuexin suddenly spoke.


    " Haha, Sister Ming is wise." Long Ming sighed. " How unfortunate. Qi Baifu got attacked and killed by Blissful Heaven Temple."


    " Right?"


    Mu Qinglian, Ming Yuexin, and Meng Zhi looked at each other with dumbfounded face.


    " Damn¡­Aren''t you too¡­ck bellied?" Mu Qinglian sighed. Long Ming only chuckled as he collected the spatial rings from the deceased.


    " Alright, Let''s go." Long Ming opened his Plum Blossom Fan and fanned himself. " We don''t have all day to waste."


    After finishing, the group walked once again. And not before long, they reached their peak.


    " Oh my, Look at that."


    " Such beautiful scenery!"


    However, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes noticed an unusual thing at the summit.


    " Ah¡­Could it be¡­"

 Chapter 192 Compensation

    <h4>Chapter 192 Compensation</h4>


    Reaching the summit, everyone saw the mesmerizing scenery of the sun setting. The energy of heaven and earth was abundant as there were many cultivators either practicing or enjoying the scene.


    " This Misty Hill is arge mountain range. However, this is famous as this is the ce where Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea is cultivated. So, it''s named as Cloud Sea Peak." Meng Zhi spoke.


    " Look at that! Is that a monument?"


    " There are many cultivators gathered around it."


    Meng Zhi looked at it as she pondered. " That must be the Cloud Stone. It''s said that after Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea got up, he wrote down a poem on the stone. That''s the monument where the poem is carved."


    " Could it be, a supreme imperial will left behind by Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea?" Ming Yuexin became excited.


    " Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea was around the same era as our Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor. Even if he had left behind any treasures, it would have taken long ago." Mu Qinglian shook her head. " As for the Will, who knows? Maybe it''s dissipated after tens of thousands of years?"


    " Heh, If that''s the case, why are people stilling here even after so long?" Ming Yuexin grumbled.


    " Because of the intent of water and cloud." Meng Zhi walked toward the monument as she spoke.


    " Indeed, Although the poem doesn''t look anything mystical and is written with simple letters, it contains the power of Grand Dao of Water and Clouds." Long Ming spoke as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone.


    " Although, for norma cultivators, this monument is nothing more than a useless piece of artifact with no practical use, those with great eyesight andprehension can decipher the truth behind the poem."


    " Brother Long is wise."


    Long Ming saw many cultivators walking around the monument while some were cultivating before it.


    Ming Yuexin was eager as she walked forward and touched the stone monument. " Interesting, I can feel powerful and oppressive power inside the stone. Even if I try, I won''t be able to destroy it."


    " However, other than that, I can''t feel anything extra in this."


    Mu Qinglian looked at it as she circted her Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art. She could feel a faint trace of intent of water from the monument.


    " Haaah, I don''t care about this though." Meng Zhi yawned as she looked at the scenery. " The main attraction here is the sunset here. It''s said that the setting sun at the Misty Hills is not only beautiful, but it also made many powerful cultivators enlightened, blessing thend of Misty Hills."


    " So, What are we waiting for? Bring forth food and wine." Ming Yuexinughed as she found a spot to sit and rx. " Huhu, Brother Long, Didn''t you promise to me have a discussion about sword dao? I have some doubts regarding Bright Emperor''s Sword Technique."


    " Is that so?" Mu Qinglian nced at Long Ming. " How amusing. To think you are proficient in both archery and sword. And you even managed to make Sister Ming feel that your swordprehension is superior."


    " That''s nothing. I just love to dabble in different fields. That''s all." Long Ming became amused. But then, he noticed Meng Zhi''s mood was a bit off.


    " What is it, Sister Meng? Such stiff expression doesn''t suit your face." Long Ming walked toward her with a smile.


    " Haha, I am alright, Little Brother Long." Meng Zhi smiled. " It''s just¡­ I was contemting about some things."


    " And what is it? The fight earlier?" Long Ming asked.


    " Yeah." Meng Zhi sighed. " Along with apanying you, I was given another task by Big Sister Xia. That''s to protect you guys. However, fighting with that old bastard, I felt my strength as the elder of Four Seasons Valley is stillcking."


    " I see." Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi as heughed lightly. " But I think, Big Sister Meng did her best. Besides, It wasn''t like you wasted your years in Four Seasons Valley."


    " Thanks to your management, Four Seasons Valley had a stable ie source as Eternal Spring Tower. Not to mention, you also made the intelligencework of Four Seasons Valley stronger."


    " After you refine all the Evil Moon Yin qi inside your body, you will be able to break through to the next stage. Not to mention, you also going to have the Gentle Spring Rejuvenation Art."


    Meng Zhi''s eyes brightened when she heard that. " Haha, Little Brother is too good at cheering up people. Now you have said that I am feeling a lot better."


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s eyes widened as he felt Meng Zhi''s lips on his cheeks.


    " Hehe, Have this as my reward, Little brother." Meng Zhi winked as she looked at stunned Long Ming.


    " Sister Meng, What are you doing!" Mu Qinglian stamped her feet when she saw that. " Shameless! What are you doing in broad daylight?"


    " Oh my, Someone is getting jealous."


    " You!!"


    As they bickered, Long Ming walked and sat before the stone monument, gazing at the written poem intently.


    The clouds have gathered, and gathered,


    and the rain falls and falls,


    The eight ply of the heavens


    are all folded into one darkness.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he activated his Temporal Fate Simtion Art. Using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming gazed at the stone monument, trying to look at its distance past.


    Suddenly, his surroundings shifted as Long Ming''s consciousness visualized the past. He saw a man sitting on a stone b, drinking wine while sitting in a downpour.


    Long Ming could only see the back of that man. However, just looking at his back, he felt a powerful wave of oppression, as it was a gigantic, unmovable mountain. The aura of the man was enough to make a myriad of people submit before him.


    As he drank, Long Ming suddenly heard a sighing from that man''s mouth.


    " I see¡­"


    The moment the man spoke, the rain stopped as the dark cloud rolled. It was like the bellowing clouds turned into a shroud of the man, covering himpletely.


    The man rose as he became one with the rain and clouds. With a single wave of his palm, the dark cloud dissipated and the sunlight shone across the Misty Hills.


    Looking at the distant sun, the man let out a heartyugh. It was like he understood something and broke through his shackles.


    The moment he turned around, Long Ming only felt a pair of powerful eyes before his consciousness shattered.


    " PHUAAAAA!"


    Long Ming gasped as he took a deep breath of air. Unknown to him, his back waspletely drenched.


    " Haah! Haah, Just the gaze alone in the past can break my technique?" Long Ming mumbled with shock. Not to mention, he also took a glimpse at the cultivation realm of that man and realized that he wasn''t a Heavenly Emperor. At most, he was at Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivation.


    '' Not even a Heavenly Emperor, yet he holds tremendous power under the heavens and earth.'' Long Ming sighed in his heart.


    That person was obviously the Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea, who wasn''t a Heavenly Emperor at that time. However, judging from his looks, he wasn''t that far either.


    Long Ming kept sitting before the monument and gazing at the poem. Suddenly, he realized something.


    '' This poem¡­It''s iplete. He also mumbled the same poem back there. But he only wrote half of it!'' Long Ming felt it was pretty odd when he thought about that.


    However, that also means that the stone monument wasn''tpletely useless. The Heavenly Emperor might have left behind some secrets in it.


    Long Ming became excited when he realized that. He nced around and saw there were still many cultivators. So, he closed his eyes and entered in a meditative state, waiting for the night to arrive.


    Ming Yuexin felt it was getting boring. However, seeing Long Ming in the cultivation session, she didn''t disturb him.


    As it was already past midnight, Long Ming opened his eyes and nced at the stone monument. Under the moonlight, the stone monument was giving off a faint cerulean light.


    Long Ming took out his Treasured Jade Brush as his intent of water poured into it.


    Rain, rain, and the clouds have gathered,


    The eight ply of the heavens are darkness,


    The tnd is turned into rivers.


    ''Wine, wine, here is wine!''


    Long Ming recalled the poem as he wrote thetter half of the poem on the monument.


    Suddenly, the stone monument trembled as all the words shone with a gentle brilliance. A scroll jumped out from the stone monument,nding on Long Ming''s palm.


    " This¡­ This is a battle technique?"


    Long Ming was a bit startled when he saw that. He was also excited as he knew the powerful techniques made by experts like Heavenly Emperor Winter Song and Crimson Sky.


    " Oh my, So that''s your real intention all along."


    Long Ming''s body tensed as he jumped out of shock. But then, he realized it was Meng Zhi.


    " Heavens, Sister Meng! You scared me!" Long Mingined.


    " Aww, Is that so? I guess Meng Zhi needs some punishment then." Meng Zhi grinned as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Is that so? I won''t mind disciplining Sister Meng a bit." Long Ming smirked.


    *A few momentster*


    " Si-Sister Meng, What is someone¡­ see us?" Long Ming spoke in a hushed voice as his legs trembled a bit.


    Before her, Meng Zhi was on her knees.


    " Tee hee~ Don''t be afraid, Little Brother Long. I am justpensating you for scaring you."


    "Uh..."

 Chapter 193 Meng Zhi’s Compensation (R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 193 Meng Zhi''s Compensation (R-18)</h4>


    Long Ming wanted to check the technique he got instantly. However, there was a big problem in front of him. He felt intrigued when Meng Zhi held his hands and dragged him into a secluded spot.


    " Here, I guess this ce is good enough." Meng Zhi looked around and saw there was nothing more than trees and bushes.


    " Yes, Sister Meng, What were you saying?" Long Ming nced at her.


    " Well, As I said, I wanted to give you something in return." Meng Zhi''s lips curled as she nced at Long Ming.


    " Uh oh?"


    Long Ming backed away as Meng Zhi pressed her against a tree. " Well, Little Brother Long, The moment we met, I saw that you kept ncing at them every time." Sheughed as she pointed at her perky breasts.


    " How about I reveal the veil before you?"


    "Whoa-"


    Long Ming gasped as Meng Zhi untied her frontces, making her breasts bounce out like a pair of jade rabbits. Long Ming''s eyes widened as the gentle moonlight fell on her breasts, making them look like a well-sculptured treasure.


    " Go ahead¡­ Touch them." A tint of rosiness appeared on Meng Zhi''s cheeks as she kept unting her assets before Long Ming.?" Or¡­ Would you like to taste them instead?"


    " I¡­"


    Without waiting for his answer, Meng Zhi pulled Long Ming into her embrace, pressing her face on her breasts. She felt a strange sensation as she could feel Long Ming''s breath on her breasts, his lips roaming on her soft and bouncy skin.


    " Unngh¡­"


    Even with his calm nature, Long Ming got flustered. However, he steeled his mind as the tranquility returned to his heart.


    After all, since someone is willing to deliver such delicious food right into his mouth, there is no way he would just refuse, right?


    " Mmnn¡­"


    Long Ming''s tongue stuck out as he flicked the nipples of Meng Zhi, making them erect. Meng Zhi closed her eyes as she could feel the tingling sensation of pleasure from her breasts.


    Standing while their bodies pressed together, Meng Zhi could feel Long Ming''s raging erection making a huge tent in his pants. Using her hands, she caressed Long Ming''s erect cock gently, feeling its eager throbs.


    " Oh my, Every time I see this, I couldn''t help but get¡­Amazed." Meng Zhi let out a breath of warm air. She could feel the throbbings getting harder, making her understand Long Ming''s eagerness.


    Taking a step back, Meng Zhi parted Long Ming''s face from her breasts. Seeing her breasts stained with Long Ming''s saliva, she couldn''t help but get more aroused.


    " Well well, Having such a hard erection for so long, It won''t do anything good for you." Meng Zhi smacked her lips as she got on her knees.


    " I should do my best to relieve it, no?"


    " Sister Meng¡­"


    Long Ming took some deep breaths as his little brother got even more excited seeing Meng Zhi''s face so near.


    " Ooh, look at this little boy. You are already so hard and excited." Meng Zhi spoke in a yful voice as her lips came near.


    With a light smooch on the tip, her tongue stuck out, starting to lick the hardened rod of Long Ming.


    The tip of her tongue traced all the bulging veins on the Long Ming''s cock as she slowly took the entire thing in her mouth.


    " Oooohhhh!"


    Long Ming felt his heart thumping crazily when he felt the warm and moist mouth of Meng Zhi, slowly moving her head back and fro.


    *SLURRP SLURRP SLURRP SLURRP*


    With a soft sucking sound, Meng Zhi''s finger kept teaching the twitching balls of Long Ming, while her mouth kept sucking his rod.


    " Haah! Haaah! Sister Meng¡­You are so¡­ so¡­" Long Ming couldn''t evenplete his sentence before he felt Meng Zhi increasing the intensity of her blowjob.


    For the first time, Long Ming felt a woman actually managed to get him so much aroused in such a short amount of time.


    Meng Zhi was simply too good. Long Ming felt like her mouth was like a vacuum, slowly sucking his cock more and more. Not to mention, she kept caressing his balls, making him give in to his urges.


    '' No¡­I can''t¡­cum this early. I won''t!'' Long Ming gritted his teeth as he suddenly held the head of Meng Zhi, making his cock shove further deep in her mouth.


    " GHUKH!"


    Meng Zhi was surprised, but she didn''t oppose Long Ming. Long Ming held her head and kept using her mouth as he pleased. However, instead of retreating, Meng Zhi epted it wholeheartedly.


    But then, Both of them flinched as they felt some movements.


    " Brother Kan, How many Misty Water Ores you got?"


    " Not much, Only a couple of dozen pieces."


    " Haha, My luck is good. I got around a hundred. And their quality is also pretty good."


    " Lucky bastard."


    Long Ming wanted to hurry and take Meng Zhi away. However, Meng Zhi kept him in his ce. She kept Long Ming''s cock in her mouth as her gaze met Long Ming, signaling to rx.


    With a wave of her hands, Long Ming saw an invisible wave hitting all the nearby flora. Long Ming felt like an invisible barrier was cast around them, cutting them off from the outside world.


    Both Meng Zhi and Long Ming felt their hearts speeding up when they saw some cultivators passing by them. But all of them were at True Core Formation Realm, making them unable to see through Meng Zhi''s invisible field.


    But then, Long Ming flinched as he felt Meng Zhi take out his rod from her mouth and raise her breasts. With a soft sensation, her cock was sandwiched between two perky breasts as Meng Zhi moved them up and down.


    " Oh my¡­To think it would peek through my breasts. What a long and girthy fellow." Meng Zhi smirked as her tongue stuck out, licking the tip of Long Ming''s rod.


    " Uwwoohhhh!"


    " You alreadysted enough, Little brother. But that''s the end." Meng Zhi smiled like a charming demoness as her paizuri became even more fierce.


    After that, she made her finishing move and kissed the tip of Long Ming''s cock.


    " Now, Cum!"


    Like magic, Long Ming''s cock throbbed very hard as threads of sticky white liquid shot on her face. Long Ming let out quite a fat load, making Meng Zhi''s face drenched.


    His warm essence dripped down on her breasts, staining them in a sensual way.


    Seeing Meng Zhi in such a state, Long Ming felt like his erection wasn''t going to calm anytime soon.


    Smacking her lips, Meng Zhi nced at Long Ming. She isn''t hurried to wipe off his cum at all.


    " My¡­It tastes much better than I expected. And such strange and¡­racy fragrance."


    She could already see Long Ming''s eyes start to glow with lust and desire. However, as she got up, she pushed Long Ming back.


    " No¡­ Not today." Meng Zhi grinned as she made Long Ming wear his pants. " Today''spensation was only limited to the mouth. As for more intimate things, you need to wait, Little brother."


    " You think I will listen after all this¡­" Long Ming spoke in a heavy voice. It was evident how much aroused he was.


    " Oh yes, Believe me, You will." Meng Zhi stood up and adjusted her clothes. She rubbed Long Ming''s lips as she winked.


    " I know you very well, Little Brother. If I don''t agree, you won''t going to force me."


    " Besides, You are a man with great patience. You like to savor things slowly, right?" Meng Zhi grinned.


    " But if you dy, You need to pay up the interest too, Sister Meng." Long Ming took a deep breath as smirk appeared on his face.


    Adjusting his attire, he turned around and left. " I hope you would be prepared for that."


    '' He already regained his calmness?'' Meng Zhi was startled. Even using her natural charming techniques, Long Ming remained calm andposed.


    " Well, I guess I won''t mind paying such interest either." A smile appeared on her lips as she wiped her mouth.


    As she walked back to the camp, her mind kept reying those scenes. She squatted near a bush and took off her panties.


    " Haah! Haaahh!"


    The gentle spring water squirted out from her sacred well, drenching the grass beneath her.


    " To think I would also climax like this. Haah, it''s been a while¡­" Meng Zhi panted as she closed her eyes.


    " Sister Meng? Sister Meng, where are you?"


    Meng Zhi was startled when she heard that voice. She hurriedly got up and saw Mu Qinglian.


    " Ahaha, Little Qingiqing, I am just¡­Answering nature''s call." Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " Is that so?" Mu Qinglian felt a bit doubtful. " Uh¡­There are some¡­white stains on your lips."


    " Ahh?"


    Instinctively, Meng Zhi licked her lips clean. " Haha, I was tasting a¡­Milk Fruit. Yeah, I guess¡­Some pulp stained my lips. Haha."


    " Uh¡­Why were you eating fruits sote?" Mu Qinglian felt something was fishy.


    " I was¡­hungry, I guess? Besides¡­It was something I had my eyes on a long ago." Meng Zhi grinned. " Anyway, I am feeling a bit tired so¡­ I shall leave. Goodnight!"


    " Sister Meng¡­"


    Mu Qinglian was speechless when she saw Meng Zhi escaping hurriedly.


    " Strange."

 Chapter 194 Useless Technique?

    <h4>Chapter 194 Useless Technique?</h4>


    " Endless Rain sh? Earth Grade Technique?" Long Ming frowned when scanned through the scroll. Even after reading twice, he realized that it was indeed an Earth grade technique.


    '' Not to mention, the technique is absurdly tricky. It was like instead of choosing the shortest possible ways, the creators purposely chose the hardest way to do the simplest tasks.'' Long Ming scratched his head as he read through the scroll.


    For example, if you want to drink water, you simply take a ss and drink water. However, this techniques was more about talking about the shapes of different sses, types of water and thebination of both of them.


    '' If I were to sit and ponder, with my heavenlyprehension I can easily make a simpler and effective version of this technique. However, it wouldpletely alter the original technique, making it meaningless.'' Long Ming rubbed his forehead as he sighed.


    With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could feel the traces of a powerful existence on the scroll, simr to the diary of Empress Winter Song. However, he simply can''t understand why Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea would make such a useless and inefficient technique.


    Long Ming didn''t lose his faith as he studied the technique carefully. This time, rather than focusing on the attacking power and effect of the technique, he focused on the other aspects deemed to be useless by most cultivators.


    '' Although it''s pretty average in firepower, there theories here regarding the Dao of Cloud and Dao of Water are pretty evident. If one delves deeper into this theory, their chances of attaining the intent of Water and Clouds will increase.''


    '' But that''s nothing to do with me as I have heavenlyprehension heart. If I wish toprehend anything, I can do so easily.''


    But then, Long Ming noticed something. '' Although it''s aplete technique, some of the theories seem to be¡­Missing. Yes, No matter how dumb Heavenly Emperor Cloud Sea was, there was no way he would make such mistakes.''


    '' Wait, What if it''s an iplete technique?'' Long Ming suddenly thought as he held the scroll tightly. ''Yes, There is no meaning of hiding this technique in a stone sealed by a poem. This scroll must be a key of something big.''


    However, For now, the scroll is useless for Long Ming. So, He threw it into his spatial bracelet He walked back to his cave as he saw the bonfire was still burning. The eastern sky already started to brighten up,


    Long Ming saw Ming Yuexin was sitting beside the bonfire. Her sword floated before her as she sat cross legged. Long Ming could feel her sword was being washed with her sword intent and spiritual qi simultaneously.


    '' Interesting. She already learned the sword spirit refinement technique from the teachings I gave her. Ming Yuexin is definitely suitable for the dao of sword.''


    Feeling movements, Ming Yuexin opened her eyes and nced at Long Ming. " Brother Long, You are back. Did you gain anything by meditating before the stone monument?"


    " Nothing much." Long Ming sat beside Ming Yuexin as he shook his head.


    " Haha, I know. Many people tried to decipher the secret of that stone monument. But other than that poem, nothing is special in it."


    " Hmm, Anyway, I guess you are making good progress in Bright Emperor''s Supreme Sword Art." Long Ming chuckled.


    " Indeed. I have learned the way to wash my sword with my sword intent and spiritual qi, continuously nourishing the sword spirit inside it. Not to mention, I feel I also have progressed significantly in the intent of fire and sword intent."


    " Sister Ming, Since you are a summer branch practitioner, you should focus on merging the power of both intent of fire and sword intent, boosting your destructive capabilities."


    " Not to mention, this Royal grade weapon was blessed by Empress Crimson Sky. So, you need to refine its spirit thoroughly before being able to bring forth its true power."


    " Senior Brother Long is wise. I shall heed your words." Ming Yuexin nodded as she crept closer to Long Ming. Suddenly, holding his waist, her soft lips cooed in his ear.


    " But since both of us are alone now, shouldn''t we enjoy this private moment?"


    " Sister Ming, Are you not afraid of Senior Sister Mu?" Long Ming chuckled. But he was also bolder as he held Ming Yuexin in her embrace, their lips were barely apart from each other.


    " Mm, Having such a daring Senior Brother, How can I be afraid?"


    " MMnnn¡­."


    Their lips were sealed as Ming Yuexin and Long Ming engaged in a fiery and passionate kiss. Their tongue danced together, tasting each other''s moist warmth.


    Feeling Long Ming with such intensity, his pheromones from his Incubus Bloodline made her desires re up.


    Feeling the fiery gaze of Ming Yuexin, filled with lustful desires, Long Ming flicked her forehead. " Sister Ming, You are a sword cultivator yet you give in your desires so fast."


    " Ugh, Isn''t that your fault?" Ming Yuexin pouted as she got sobered. " You gave me the greatest pleasure, only to leave me dry for a whole month."


    " Hehe, So, Does Sister Ming imply that she wants it again?"


    " Bah, Shameless bastard!" Ming Yuexin pushed Long Ming yfully. " How can you say something like that?" She felt her cheeks were burning.


    " My, I guess both of you were having fun, huh?"


    Suddenly, Both Ming Yuexin and Long Ming paused as they heard the calm yet chilling voice.


    " Ahaha, Qinglian, You came back." Ming Yuexin smiled awkwardly as she looked at Mu Qinglian. " I was just discussing something about the sword dao with Brother Long."


    " I see." Mu Qinglian nodded with a slight sneer. " It seems like it was a very deep and intimate discussion."


    " COUGH!"


    Long Ming almost choked on his saliva when he heard that. " Alright. It''s already morning. Look, the sun is rising."


    Meng Zhi also woke up from her sleep as she walked towards the group. Long Ming pointed at the rising sun as everyone saw the eastern sky turning bright with a faint hue of morning light.


    " Beautiful. The mist along with the sunrise looks so mystifying." Ming Yuexin murmured.


    " Indeed, No wonder it''s famous as a scenic spot." Long Ming chuckled.


    Since it was morning, there were a few cultivators on the summit. As Long Ming and his group turned around to get down from the mountain, they suddenly a small troop of cultivators.


    " Halt there!"


    Long Ming and others frowned when they saw the troop. However, Long Ming''s eyes shed as he looked at their insignia.


    " Are you from the Qi Family of Misty Hills Town?" Long Ming''s paper fan spread out as he walked forward, asking in an amicable voice.


    " Yes, Fellow Daoist. We are from the Qi Family." An old man walked forward as he looked at Long Ming. " And this fellow daoist is from¡­"


    " We are from Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming answered. " And if you please give some way, we shall leave now."


    " But before leaving, I would like to inquire you about something." The old man asked. " Did you encounter our young master Qi Baifu?"


    " Who?" Long Ming became confused.


    " Qi Baifu, Our young master." The old man spoke.


    " I see¡­ He is your young master. What can I do? I don''t even know him." Long Ming shrugged.


    " I¡­ Uh¡­ Did you encounter him?" The old man asked. But suddenly, his face turned stiff when he recalled Long Ming said he didn''t know him.


    " I don''t know. We didn''t climb the Misty Hill with the main route." Long Ming shook his head. " Why? Has anything happened?"


    " N-No, Nothing at all."


    " I see. Then, I shall take my leave." Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian and others with a smile as he walked away.


    After a while, Meng Zhi couldn''t help but chuckle. " Oh my, Your acting skill is truly impressive. You didn''t flinch at all before lying on their face."


    " What do you mean? I didn''t see Qi Baifu at all¡­After killing him." Long Ming chortled.


    " Hmph, I wonder how many women you tricked with this method of yours." Mu Qinglian spat viciously.


    " Why? Is Qinglian one of them?" Ming Yuexin didn''t let go of this chance and poked Mu Qinglian.


    " Wh-Who said that!" Mu Qinglian became flustered. " Besides, The most suspicious one is you, Sister Ming."


    " Ahaha, My, my¡­Such lively younglings." Meng Zhi rubbed her chin.


    As they arrived at the town, Long Ming realized that the Qi Family almost flipped the entire Misty Hills City.


    It seems like the soulmp of Qi Baifu broke yesterday, making everyone in the Qi Family go crazy. However, Long Ming had no concerns as he erased all traces thoroughly.


    '' Hmm, Why did I feel so natural when I was erasing the corpses? It was like¡­A habit. Analyzing the crime scene, finding the spots of evidence, and recing it¡­Interesting.'' Long Ming rubbed his chin.


    After a while, they boarded the flying boat and left for Holy Qilin City.


    " Huh? Brother Long, You want to know about the situation of the Imperial Family?"

 Chapter 195 Repaying With Body?

    <h4>Chapter 195 Repaying With Body?</h4>


    Long Ming realized that since he was going to the Holy Qilin City, his confrontation with Jiang Wanxue would be inevitable.


    '' Well, We have more than just emotional entanglement though.'' Long Ming rubbed under his nose as he chuckled inwardly.


    " Yes, Sister Meng, I wish to know about it." Long Ming chuckled. " I mean, Since it''s such a big imperial family, I am sure the internal trouble is no less."


    " Well said, Little Brother." Meng Zhiughed lightly. " The Qin Imperial Family is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Out of five princes and two princesses, it was really rowdy in the Holy Qilin City."


    " Although they appear harmonious outside, they are nothing more than a bunch of hyenas staring at the throne of the Holy Qilin Empire."


    " As for the current emperor, He is no mean an ordinary person. He already reached the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm. But about his exact realm, the opinions are varied."


    " There are no Heavenly Emperor hailed from the Qin Imperial Family, no? Then how can they be so powerful, suppressing other Imperial Lineage in Eastern Province?"


    " Well, Although many found it strange too, it can be exined a bit." Mu Qinglian spoke. " For example, the ancestors of Holy Qilin Empire came to the Eastern Province at the right time with the right strength. Repelling the the demonic cultivators, not only they be the hero, they used the chance to grab bothnd and treasures of the entire Eastern Province."


    " Not to mention, they also got Imperial Treasures and techniques, along with other treasures of heaven and earth."


    " However, their origin itself is shrouded in mystery." Meng Zhi rubbed her palm as she sighed. " After all, How can a group of people show here out of nowhere, with such great strength? Some people say that the Holy Qilin Empire''s earliest ancestors came from the Ring of Thousand Inds."


    " Not to mention, the Imperial Weapons they used, it was much stranger to the weapons of the Heavenly Emperors of Rain Dragon Continent."


    " Speaking for which, Are all Imperial Weapons are same?" Long Ming suddenly asked.


    " Of course not. There are different gradings of Imperial Weapons like Noble grade and Royal grade weapons." Meng Zhi shook her head.


    " First was Blessed Imperial Treasures, which are blessed with the aura and power of a Heavenly Emperor. Most of these types of treasures are disposable and the imperial aura fades after long time and usages."


    " Second ones are True Imperial Treasures. These treasures are forged by the Heavenly Emperor''s Grand Dao. The base materials are also rare treasures of nature carefully forged into various powerful treasures."


    " They are far more powerful and longsting than Blessed Imperial Treasures. Possessing a single one of True Imperial Treasure can make a powerhouse dominate its surroundings."


    " Thest and the most powerful ones are the Natal Weapons of the Heavenly Emperor. You can say these weapons are basically carried and used by Heavenly Emperors throughout their lives. Not only do they contain theprehension of their Path and Grand Dao, they also contain the most destructive and miraculous force under the heaven and earth."


    " For example, If someone uses the full power of a Natal Treasure of Heavenly Emperor to its full extent, Erasing the Grand Sky City and its surroundings could be done within a breath of time."


    Meng Zhi chuckled when she said that. " But of course, to exert that much power, you need to get epted by the Natal Treasure and carry enough strength to wield it."


    " So, How many treasures do we have now?" Ming Yuexin suddenly asked. Meng Zhi''s face turned a bit stiff when she heard that.


    " We still have a couple of Blessed Imperial Treasures and True Imperial Treasures. However, the Natal Treasures are lost and only a single one of them is in the sect."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming rubbed his chin. He guessed that the treasures he broughtst time were probably the Blessed treasures. However, it still boosted the strength of Four Seasons Valley nheless.


    " Anyway, Long Ming, Mu Qinglian, You guys need to be careful." Meng Zhi nced at both of them. " After what happened in the Azure Sun Secret Realm, Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain are like wounded beasts."


    " Although the power of their junior generation decreased greatly along with some loss of elders, they would be more vengeful towards us. Not to mention, the Sky Martial Tower definitely won''t make this Battle Tournament peaceful for us."


    " So? Let theme." Mu Qinglian snorted. " This time, I will let them know that Four Seasons Valley isn''t a pushover."


    " Indeed. The days of our Four Seasons Valley''s humiliation are gone." Ming Yuexin held her sword. " If they dare to pull any dirty tricks, I will slice them apart."


    However, Long Ming remained silent as he pondered many things inwardly. Before jumping on the battlefield and confronting the enemy head on, he would rather prefer to assassinate the enemy the night before the battle.


    A cowardly way for sure, but Long Ming didn''t care as long as it counted as his victory.


    '' If we analyze, Qin Chen was definitely supported by Sky Martial Tower. However, It''s not like the whole Imperial Family supports Sky Martial Tower.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    Not to mention, he remembered the obvious greed of Qin Chen towards the spring branch technique of Four Seasons Valley. The Returning Spring Sword Art and Flowing Energy Art were iplete before Long Ming found the real version.


    However, judging the behavior of Qin Chen, he might have clues regarding the Returning Spring Sword Art''s missing piece or know someone who possesses it.


    '' Therefore, The Sky Martial Tower knows some secret about this technique that Four Seasons Valley doesn''t know.'' Long Ming arrived at a conclusion. '' I guess the only ce I can get more information is the Imperial Pce of Holy Qilin Empire.''


    As the day passed, Meng Zhi reminded Long Ming to treat her once again. However, Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian mored and didn''t let them have some private time.


    So, Long Ming told them about Meng Zhi''s situation.


    " Oh my! To think Elder Meng suffered from such injuries." Ming Yuexin felt a bit apologetic when she heard that.


    Mu Qinglian was also surprised as she realized Long Ming was probably treating her back then. But since both of them were there, Long Ming used his Fragrant Yin Qi swiftly and refined the dark patch of remaining Evil Moon Yin Qi in Meng Zhi''s divine sea.


    However, since it was already less thanst time, Long Ming felt like he could now employ other techniques.


    " Sister Meng, This might hurt you a bit, but please try to endure it." Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he activated his Azure me Royal Body.


    Threads of azure mes wrapped around Long Ming''s fingers as he injected them into the divine sea of Meng Zhi. The threads of azure me qi slowly burned the dark patch, making Meng Zhi''s face twist with pain.


    " It hurts! It hurts so much!" Meng Zhi gritted her teeth, but the pain was evident in her suppressed voice.


    " It''s alright, Sister Meng. Please endure a bit. If it''s sessful, you will get cured today." Long Mingpletely focused on refining the dark patch as he controlled the azure me with great precision.


    After a while, Meng Zhi''s pain lessened as she looked at Long Ming. " You can now back away. I can handle it from now."


    " Are you sure?"


    Meng Zhi nodded, making Long Ming retract his me threads and step back. Meng Zhi closed her eyes as she sat cross legged. It was already evening and the moon alreadye out.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he looked at Meng Zhi with surprise. He saw that the spring in her body disappeared in an instant as she started to circte the Evil Moon Yin qi in her body.


    After Long Ming refined the dark patch, Meng Zhi used that chance to control the masterless Evil Moon Yin Qi.


    '' She is also absorbing a lot of lunar qi from the moon. This cultivation technique¡­This isn''t from Four Seasons Valley at all.'' Long Ming became interested when he realized that. It looks like Meng Zhi was also hiding her share of secrets.


    After some time, Meng Zhi opened her eyes and nced at Long Ming. Long Ming could feel a mysterious charm in her dark pupils, cold yet alluring. The Evil Moon Yin qi in her body concealed thoroughly as she got up, bowing before Long Ming with cupped fist.


    " Little Brother, I shall always remember this favor of yours." Meng Zhi spoke in a sincere voice.


    " It''s alright, Sister Meng. Helping you is the same as helping the sect. And in the end, it''s the same as helping myself." Long Ming smiled. " Besides, Sister Meng is like my own people. How can I not help you?"


    " Hehe, But Little Brother, This poor concubine doesn''t have much resources in her hands." Meng Zhi sighed.


    " I guess I can only repay with my body."


    " Big Sister Meng!"


    " Elder Meng!


    Both Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian shouted at once, and the flying boat became lively again.

 Chapter 196 Pitiful Liu Ye

    <h4>Chapter 196 Pitiful Liu Ye</h4>


    Soon, Long Ming noticed the outskirts of a gigantic city. It was almostparable to the size of Grand Sky City, if not bigger.


    " Interesting, so many floating mountains at the entrance. Perhaps they are sentry towers?"


    Long Ming saw guards wearing purple chainmail armors stopping and inspecting everyone on both ground and sky.


    As the flying boat of Four Seasons Valley drew near, some guards sat on flying beasts surrounded them.


    " Halt! Show your identification before entering the Holy Qilin City." The guard captain shouted.


    Meng Zhi walked forward as she showed a token. " We are from Four Seasons Valley. Now, Let us pass."


    The token shed with a four colored radiance, giving slight pressure to the guard captain. The person looked at the token and nodded.


    " Wee to Holy Qilin City. Before entering, I would like to exin some rules of the city, if you don''t mind."


    " No need for that, We know the rules." Meng Zhi waved her hands, making the guard retreat.


    " Very well, you can go ahead."


    Long Ming looked at surroundings and saw a gigantic runic above the city sky, supported by various floating mountains and buildings.


    However, what caught his attention was a small group of people surrounding many merchants. One young man with luxrious clothes sat on a red horse with an arrogant face as he held a whip.


    " Bastards, You first came before my carriage. And after getting into an ident, you want to lodgeint against me?"


    " Young Master Liu Ye, we were so blind that we didn''t notice your carriage." A fat merchant hurriedly spoke. " Besides, We don''t dare to askpensation from you. Young Master, please forgive us."


    " Hmph, you think I don''t know how poisonous your heart is?" The young man snorted. " Besides, You even dented my precious carriage. You think I will let you go after that?"


    " Wh-What do you need, Young Master? I am¡­I am willing topensate."


    " Hehe, This girl¡­ She is looking pretty fine." The young man spoke with a lecherous voice. " How about sending her to be my maid?"


    " Yo-Young Matser! She-She is my daughter. Please¡­have mercy on her." The merchant knelt before the young man''s horse.


    " Young Master Liu, Please forgive us."


    " Hmph, Bunch of ignorant bastards." The steward standing behind the young man snorted. " Don''t you know? It''s your blessing that this girl caught the attention of our young master."


    " Hehe, ept your good fortune, Miss. Even if you became the maid of our young master, all you have to do is to keep him happy. Then, he won''t treat you badly."


    " Hurry up and ept. Or else¡­"


    " Else what?"


    A powerful voice echoed as everyone turned around. Like an immortal descending from heaven, Long Ming fell from the sky andnded gracefully.


    His Plum Blossoms Fan spread out and one could see the illusory petals swirling around it. " My, I never expected that young master of Holy Qilin City''s Liu Family would act like a hooligan. Where is your righteousness, hm?"


    " Brat! Who the hell are you? Don''t meddle in our young master''s business."


    " Hmoh, Even after knowing our young master''s identity, you dare to speak against him?


    However, Liu Ye''s face turned ugly when he saw Long Ming''s smiling face.


    " SHUT UP!"


    The subordinates of Liu Ye were stunned when they saw Liu Ye shouting at them and not at Long Ming. Liu Ye then nced at Long Ming as a smile appeared on his face.


    " Ahaha, To think I would meet Brother Long here. It must be fate indeed."


    Long Ming didn''t nce at him but looked at the merchant troupe. " I guess no one is mortally injured? If that''s the case, get up and leave."


    " Yes, Young Master."


    " Thank you for your grace, Young Noble."


    The girl looked at Long Ming with a teary gaze full of respect and gratefulness as she bowed before him. Everyone bowed before Long Ming as they entered the Holy Qilin City.


    Liu Ye''s face turned bitter when he saw that. However, he didn''t dare to provoke Long Ming at all.


    " Brother Liu, You better change your habits." Long Ming looked at Liu Ye. " You already used quite a bit of your luck while escaping alive from Azure Sun Secret Realm. However, if you keep tempting your fate, you might not be able to save your reputation and life at all."


    Naked warning, It was simply a naked warning from Long Ming. Liu Ye shivered when he heard that.


    He already saw Long Ming''s strength in Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    After Jiang Wanxue and others got ambushed, Liu Ye tried to defend himself. However, when Jiang Wanxue got poisoned, he took the chance and escaped.


    Thanks to his luck, he actually escaped from the Central Pce altogether, avoiding the cmity of the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster. Even Long Ming was surprised that Liu Ye managed to escape alive.


    " Brother Long, I understandpletely. Don''t worry, I will change my habitpletely." Liu Ye rubbed his palm as he spoke in a bright voice.


    '' Damn it, That bastard still has that recording jade. If it became public, my social reputation would be ruinedpletely. I can''t make him angry at any cost.'' Liu Ye gnashed his teeth as he thought inwardly.


    " Anyway, Since it''s my first time in Holy Qilin City, Shouldn''t Brother Liu tour me around?" Long Ming smiled as he looked at Liu Ye.


    " This¡­ Of course. It would be my pleasure." Liu Ye sighed. He wanted to quickly escape from this smiling demon. But he realized that Long Ming was controlling himpletely.


    " Brother Long, As per the rule of Holy Qilin City, unauthorized flying is strictly prohibited in Holy Qilin City." Liu Ye looked at Long Ming and spoke.


    " Not to mention, Releasing aura above the Harmonization Realm is also prohibited. Killing in broad daylight is also punishable and defying the imperial authority is simply a no go. These are the few yet important rules of Holy Qilin City."


    Long Ming chuckled. " Don''t worry, Brother Liu. If I want to kill someone, I will do it in such a way that it won''t point at me."


    Liu Ye shuddered when he heard that. " Haha, Brother Long is truly good at joking. Did youe alone?"


    " No, Some others from Four Seasons Valley also came with me." Long Ming looked behind and saw Meng Zhi, Ming Yuexin, and Mu Qinglian step down from the flying boat andnd on the ground.


    Everyone couldn''t help but get mesmerized by the three beauties. Even Liu Ye couldn''t help but feel a me of desire when he saw the slender and sexy figure of Meng Zhi.


    However, he suppressed the feeling in his heart. He could feel that none of these three women were simple at all. One wrong step and he might lose his neck.


    " This is Saintess of Four Seasons Valley, Mu Qinglian. This one is core disciple Ming Yuexin, And this one is Elder Meng Zhi." Long Ming introduced them.


    " Greetings, Fellow Sisters. I am Liu Ye, the young master of the Liu Family of Holy Qilin City. My father is the current Finance Minister of the Holy Qilin Empire." Liu Ye cupped his fist.


    " I see. Brother Liu, We met again." Ming Yuexin sneered lightly as she nced at Liu Ye. " I am really thankful for the hospitality ofst time."


    Liu Ye recognized Ming Yuexin as he let out a forced smile. " Sister Ming doesn''t need to embarrass me for my meager effort."


    " Hmph, But thanks to you, I had some quality time with my Brother Long." Ming Yuexin cast a side nce at Long Ming, smacking her lips seductively as she remembered how Long Ming treated the aphrodisiac.


    " Hmm?"


    Mu Qinglian felt a hidden meaning behind Ming Yuexin''s words. However, seeing Long Ming avoid answering Ming Yuexin, Mu Qinglian can only stand in silence.


    " Ahaha, I am d it happened." Liu Ye spoke as he turned around. " How about this, Since this is your first time in Holy Qilin City, I shall guide you around here."


    " Brother Liu, We are pretty tired. So, We would like to get a room in an inn first." Long Ming looked at him.


    " Very well, The Yuxing Tower is one of the best inns here. Not only the rooms are suitable for cultivation, but the food there is very good as well." Liu Ye didn''t take any time as he answered.


    Long Ming saw the streets were wide and paved with spirit limestones. He was impressed by the cleanliness and hygiene, and the traffic control was also good.


    The City was divided into three parts, Outer City, Inner City, and Core City. The Outer City wheremoners lived. The Inner City was the ce where various noble families, Sect Abodes, ancient families, and other powerful forces resided.


    The Core City simply belonged to the Imperial Qin Family. The Imperial Pce and other buildings of the imperial family were in the Core City.


    Liu Ye did his best to appease Long Ming along the way. Soon, they reached a tall and ancient building. Long Ming could see the que in front of the building saying Yuxing Tower.


    " Very well, Brother Liu, Please book the highest tier room for us." Long Ming nodded as he looked at Liu Ye.


    " And, I am sure you don''t need money from me, right?"

 Chapter 197 Hundred Victory Arena

    <h4>Chapter 197 Hundred Victory Arena</h4>


    Liu Ye''s face turned stiff when he heard that.


    The royal rooms of Yuxing Tower cost 50,000 mid grade stones per night. Since there are four people here, it will cost 200,000 mid grades spirit stones per night for Liu Ye.


    Not to mention, the Battle Tournament hasn''t started yet. Therefore, Long Ming and his fellow sisters probably going to stay here for more than a week.


    '' Ended, My year''s worth saving vanished. I can''t even ask Father now as he already gave me too muchst time.'' Liu Ye felt his heart was bleeding, but his smile didn''t diminish.


    " Of course, Brother Long doesn''t need to remind me that. After all, we are all brothers." Liu Ye smiled. But that smile was uglier than crying.


    " Sister Yi, Please book for royal grade rooms for a week." Liu Ye looked at the receptionist and spoke.


    " Very well, Young Master Liu." The receptionist woman was shocked when she saw Liu Ye acting like a licking dog before a handsome young man.


    '' To think there will be a day when Liu Ye suffering and paying money for others. Who is this young man?'' The receptionist was naturally happy inwardly when she saw the evil Liu Ye was suffering.


    " En?"


    Long Ming was speechless when he felt a small thread of Fragrant Yin Qies from the receptionist to his body.


    '' Tsk, Tsk, Just look at this young master. Just by showing my face, I can harvest the Fragran Yin Qi.'' Long Ming flicked his hair as heughed in his heart.


    " Beautiful Sister, I am Long Ming, the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley. These are my fellow disciple sisters." Long Ming closed his paper fan as he greeted.


    " Ahaha, I see, It''s Young Master Long. I hope you enjoy your time in Yuxing Tower." The receptionist smiled and handed Long Ming four tokens.


    " Each royal grade room is protected by powerful formations, and only this magical token can open your room."


    " As long as you stay in the room, even a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator would have difficulties breaking it and entering."


    " But I guess the runic formations can''t stop a veteran Array Formation King, right?" Long Ming chuckled. The receptionist was startled as she smiled wryly.


    " Young Master Long sure knows how to joke. A King grade Array Formation cultivator is much rarer than King grade Alchemist or cksmith. Unless Young Master truly offended some powerful figure¡­"


    " Haha, Indeed. I am just joking. Beautiful Sister, No need to be serious."


    Long Mingughed as he waved his hands, making the receptionist sigh in relief.


    But hearing the word ''beautiful sister'', the receptionist blushed, sending another wave of Frgarnt Yin Qi to Long Ming.


    " Well?"


    Long Ming shook his head in amusement when he saw that. But suddenly, he winced in pain as he felt someone pinching his waist tightly.


    " Brother Long, I guess we better be checking the rooms before checking this ''beautiful sister'', right?" Mu Qinglian spoke with a smiling face. However, the cold aura around her made everyone chuckle.


    " Senior Sister Mu is certainly right." Long Ming rubbed his waist as he sighed.


    " I shall call a servant to show you your rooms." The receptionist returned her professional attitude.


    When Long Ming opened the door, he was amazed by the interior.


    " Interesting. For cultivators, cultivating one day here is the same as ten days outside. But spending such a hefty amount of spirit stones, it''s only worth it." Long Ming looked at the True Qi Gathering Formation as he nodded.


    Not to mention, he also saw a ce for alchemy and cksmithing. The formation was connected to the deep underground fire vein like Four Seasons Valley.


    However, Long Ming felt that unless he adjusts the Refining Room ording to his method, an average person could only refine rank three pills at maximum. The mes of fire vein won''t be able to support a higher rank pill than that.


    '' But I have the Azure me Royal Body, so I don''t need to worry about that." Long Ming shook his head.


    After checking into the room, Everyone again gathered outside as Long Ming looked at Liu Ye.


    " Brother Liu, Since it''s my first time in Holy Qilin City, How about you take me and visit some popr ces?" Long Ming smiled.


    " Little Brother, I need to consolidate my cultivation. So, I won''t be joining you." Meng Zhi shook her head.


    " Yeah, I am also pondering about the teachings of sword dao you gave me yesterday. So, I am also going to cultivate." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    Mu Qinglian felt it was a nice opportunity for her and Long Ming to hang out together. However, seeing Liu Ye with them, she can''t bring herself to ask Long Ming for a private trip.


    '' We are already here. It won''t be toote for us to be alone.'' Mu Qinglian thought inwardly. " Well, I am also going to rest. So, I shall pass."


    Long Ming was speechless when he heard that. Girls, where is your excitement?


    Just because you guys probably visited Holy Qilin City doesn''t mean everyone did.


    " Very well, I guess I am going to travel with Brother Liu alone." Long Ming clicked his tongue as he looked at Liu Ye. " Brother Liu, let''s go."


    " Yes."


    Liu Ye cursed in his heart when he heard that. '' Damn it, All the girls are staying. Shouldn''t you also stay behind and take some rest? Why are you so energetic?''


    " Brother Long, How about we go to the Hundred Victory Arena?" Liu Ye looked at Long Ming as he asked.


    " What''s that?" Long Ming became interested.


    " It''s a fighting arena. Many cultivators of the Holy Qilin Empiree here topare their powers and techniques with each other." Liu Ye exined.


    " If you win one hundred fights consecutively, You will gain the right to choose between three great rewards of the Hundred Victory Arena."


    " Three great rewards?"


    " First is the True Blood and Marrow Paste of a Rain Serpent of Ancient Lord Realm. Second is a Blessed Treasure of the Heavenly Emperor Heaven Light. The third one is a true Imperial Battle Technique, Nine Illumination Sword Art."


    Long Ming was shocked when he heard the prices. " Well? I guess the Hundred Victory Arena is pretty generous, isn''t it? But why haven''t someone got the treasures already?"


    " Thest winner of Hundred Victory Pavilion appeared two hundred years ago." Liu Yeughed. " Brother Long, Don''t you think it''s easy for someone to win one hundred victories consecutively."


    " Not to mention, if you win too many matches, the Hundred Victory Pavilion would naturally make situations to make you lose."


    " So, As usual?" Long Ming had long known about such tactics. However, seeing there are winners in the past means Hundred Victory Pavilion won''t cheat too much.


    It was like an ancient colosseum, with a big arena in the middle. Long Ming could hear the booming cheers and noises of thousands of people from inside.


    " Normal entry fees, 500 mid grade spirits tones. Special seats, 2000 spirit stones, and top grade seats are 5000 spirit stones per person." Long Ming smacked his lips when he saw the price.


    " I guess with such prices, the revenue of Hundred Victory Pavilion must be several millions of High grade spirit stones per year."


    " Brother Long, the power behind the Hundred Victory Arena connected with the Rain Dragon Commerce and Central Province. Even the Imperial Family only collects hefty taxes and puts blind eyes on other things." Liu Ye spoke in a hushed voice as both of them entered the arena.


    But of course, since Long Ming had a walking ATM like Liu Ye, he didn''t bother to pay the entrance fees.


    He could see the enter building divided into 5 parts. The most expensive and heated battle happened in the middle arena while the chapter and less exciting ones happened in the side ones.


    " Hurry up! The bets are open! 3:1 odds this time! Can Silver Knife win against the powerful Angry Bull? Hurry up and bet!"


    " This Angry Bull already won 10 battles already. However, The Silver Knife is a neer with a fast dagger technique." Liu Ye rubbed his palm as he and Long Ming got their top grade seats.


    " I guess it will be better to bet on Angry Bull."


    " Is killing is prohibited?" Long Ming looked at Liu Ye.


    " In normal matches, yes." Liu Ye nodded. " However, the fighters can sign for life and death matches and no one can interfere. Not to mention, the identity of the fighters remains hidden, so¡­"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but appreciate the business mind of the creator of Hundred Victory Arena.


    " Interesting, Let''s look at the match."


    In the arena, two people got up. One had a buff body and iron bracers around his fist, wearing a red angry bull mask. His nickname was Angry Bull.


    Meanwhile, his opponent was a person wearing a faceless silver mask, with two crescent daggers swirling in his palms.


    " Angry Bull and Silver Dagger! The fight begins NOW!"

 Chapter 198 Brothel Visit

    <h4>Chapter 198 Brothel Visit</h4>


    Suddenly, Angry Bull raised his hands as the iron bracers around his arms buzzed with a pale red light. His body blurred as he already shot toward the Silver Daggers.


    " Roaring Bulls Fist!"


    Each of the Angry Bull''s steps was like a powerful demonic bull charging forward, making air tremble a bit. His fist tore through the wind as they reached Silver Dagger.


    However, Silver Dagger''s body twisted as he jumped, suddenly appearing a couple of steps behind. In a sh, he dodged three of Angry Bull''s attacks.


    " Hmph! Slippery loach! You think you cans imply dodge and escape?" Angry Bull roared as he stomped his feet. Suddenly, a shockwave spread across the ground, making the arena rumble violently. The Silver Dagger suddenly jumped, avoiding the shockwave.


    However, his eyes shrank when he saw a shadowy figure appearing right at his left side.


    " Got you!"


    Angry Bull snorted as punched out with great force, making his fist turn into a head of a demon bull.


    *BOOOOM*


    Silver Daggers ster backward as a trail of blood dripped from his mask. However, before he could fall outside of arena, he stopped himself, looking at the Angry Bull in cold eyes.


    " Ughh! Wh-What the hell?"


    Angry Bull was about tough, but he felt a jolt of pain on his arm. Looking there, he saw a deep cut on his arms, bleeding profusely.


    Long Ming''s eyes flickered as his lips curled upward. " Brother Liu, Here, Take 10,000 high grade spirit stones and bet on Silver Dagger."


    " Oh, 10,000¡­Wait! High grade spirit stones?!" Liu Ye almost choked when he heard that. '' Bastard, You are carrying so much money for betting yet using me as a cash cow?!''


    " Ahem, Brother Long, Didn''t you saw how Angry Bull suppressed the Silver Dagger? Although Silver Dagger managed to cut him, it might just be a fluke." Liu Ye hurriedly spoke.


    " Brother Liu, If you want to earn money, better bet on Silver Dagger. Believe me, I think he is going to win." Long Ming chuckled.


    Liu Ye was surprised when he saw Long Ming''s assessment. In his view, Silver Dagger is simply dying his defeat with his petty movement techniques.


    '' But, This bastard isn''t someone who throws away money like that. Should I bet it too?'' Liu Ye clenched his teeth as he felt his heart was in turmoil.


    Standing up, He walked to the betting counter and saw the odds already be 1:4.


    " Bet on Angry Bull! He is surely going to win!"


    " But Silver Dagger is still there and fighting though?"


    " Well? Can''t you see?" A person chuckled. " Although Silver Dagger is still standing now, Angry Bull will soon exhaust him to death. After that, defeating Silver Dagger would be a matter of a punch."


    " Really?"


    Liu Ye heard the conversation and he also agreed inwardly. However, seeing Long Ming''s nonchnt attitude, he felt like going mad.


    '' Fuck this! If I am going to lose, Let it be!''


    " Hmm? Isn''t this Young Master Liu Ye? You want to bet?" The old man sitting at the betting counter nced at Liu Ye.


    " Yes, I am." Liu Ye ced the pouch of high grade spirit stones on the table. " 10,000 High grade spirit stones on Silver Dagger."


    " What? 10,000 High grade spirit stones?!"


    " Wealthy! Too wealthy!"


    " Did he say Silver Dagger? Is he crazy?"


    The old man was surprised. But he quickly took the money. " Of course, You are free to bet on it. Alright, I ced your bet on Silver Dagger."


    " And¡­ How much does this Three Vein Violet Jade Pendant costs?" Liu Ye took out a pendant and ced it on the table.


    " This¡­ Interesting. Brother Liu took out a nice piece of treasure. I guess¡­It costs around 8000 High grade spirit stones."


    Since it was a gambling counter, people with no money could still gamble by pawning various treasures and items. Therefore, there was always one or two appraisers sitting on the counter to evaluate such things.


    With a gloomy face, Liu Ye returned beside Long Ming. Long Ming''s face was serene as usual. However, Looking at the arena, Liu Ye felt his eyes turning wide.


    " Huh? How is that¡­"


    As Angry Bull was pressuring Silver Dagger more and more, suddenly, Silver Dagger jumped and turned into smoke.


    " Hmph! You think I am scared of your hidden attack?" Angry Bull snorted as he sensed a shadow from behind. Turning around, his metal bracers covered with a crimson radiance several fist shadows shed.


    The fist shadows crushed the shadowy figure behind Angry Bull. However, Angry Bull''s expression changed when he realized that it was merely a decoy.


    " Horizontal Seven Daggers!"


    Silver Dagger''s daggers moved as it turned into several arcs of thin and radiant light, surrounding Angry Bull like a. The dagger qi swirled with a deadly sharpness as blood sshed out.


    " ARRRGHHH!"


    Angry Bull roared in pain as several wounds appeared in his body, each of them very deep. With anger, he suddenly charged toward Silver Dagger as the air rumbled with his fists.


    However, This time, Silver Dagger didn''t dodge. Instead, his daggers moved as his hands wrapped around Angry Bull''s fist like a snake. After that, one of the daggers simply shot straight at the eyes of Angry Bull.


    Angry Bull was startled as he hurriedly retracted his attack, But then, Silver Dagger used that chance and seven shadows of daggers appeared around Angry Bull, stabbing him viciously.


    " URGH!"


    Angry Bull coughed out a mouthful of blood as he slumped on the ground. " I¡­I admit defeat."


    " Oh my goodness!"


    " What the hell!"


    " How did he win?!"


    For a moment, the crowd turned silent before argemotion broke out.


    " Silver Dagger! Silver Dagger!"


    " My money! My money!"


    " Haha! I betted 300 mid grade spirit stones and am now going to get 1200!"


    Many people mourned while some people rejoiced. However, Liu Ye was simply stunned when he saw the result. How could Long Ming predict the winning of Silver Dagger?


    Long Ming chuckled as he stretched his arms." Well? What can I say? I have good eyes."


    Long Ming secretly used the Temporal Fate Simtion Technique and saw a glimpse of the future. Not to mention, analyzing the movements of Silver Dagger, Long Ming understood that Silver Dagger was simply bidding his time, waiting to deliver a final and fatal shot.


    Looking at the other matches, Long Ming felt the Hundred Victory Arena was definitely a great ce to train. But, Long Ming felt he could make more money here.


    " Interesting. So now, Leaf Sword has the highest 70 victories, huh?" Long Ming looked at the leaderboard andughed. The second ce was me Rose with 49 victories and third one was Ghost Face with 30 victories.


    " They rarelye here now." Liu Ye answered. " Especially Leaf Sword. He hasn''te here for a year."


    After a few matches, Long Ming felt bored as he got up. He already earned over 100,000 High grade spirit stones here, so he wondered where he could spend it.


    " Haha, Brother Long, You are truly my lucky star. Since you already got so much money, how about we visit a good ce?" Liu Ye rubbed his palms as his eyes sparkled with light.


    '' Fucking hell! To think I earned more than 30,000 High grade spirit stones in a few hours! This bastard really got a pair of kneen eyes.'' Liu Ye''s heart trembled as he looked at Long Ming.


    Remembering the incident in the underground passage in Azure Sun Secret Realm, Liu Ye felt like Long Ming was truly a mysterious demon wearing the mask of an immortal.


    " Good ce? I was also thinking about that." Long Ming looked at Liu Ye and nodded.


    " Thene with me. This ce won''t be inferior to Eternal Spring Tower of Grand Sky City."


    " You mean¡­"


    It was already evening. Yet, withnterns andmps lighting around, the street looked even more beautiful.


    Long Ming saw a big building before him, named Flower Garden Pce. However, looking at the decorations and the pink and rednterns, Long Ming already guessed what kind of ce this was


    " Well, This is certainly a gathering ce of rich and nobles." Liu Ye chuckled. " Not to mention, this is directly under the division on Imperial Family, so the quality standard is very high."


    '' As expected, what can I expect from a bastard like him?'' Long Min snorted in his heart.


    " But since Brother Liu brought me here with goodwill, How can I reject?" Long Ming smiled at Liu Ye. " Let''s go inside."


    " ??? Yes?" Liu Ye was baffled when he heard Long Ming. However, he hurriedly followed Long Ming.


    " Wee, Young Master Liu. It''s been a while since you came here." A beautifuldy politely greeted Liu Ye, while bowing and showing off an ample amount of her cleavage.


    " And this young master is?"


    " Haha, This is my brother, True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming."


    Suddenly, Long Ming became the center of attraction for most girls.


    " Oh my¡­Here we go again."

 Chapter 199 Poem Worth 100,000 Spirit Stones

    <h4>Chapter 199 Poem Worth 100,000 Spirit Stones</h4>


    Long Ming''s refined aura along with his identity was enough for many people to pay attention to him.


    " Grand Sky City''s Four Seasons Valley?"


    " To think there is a male disciple in Four Seasons Valley! He is even the True Disciple."


    " Ah, It seems I heard some rumors. It looks like his identity is legit."


    Liu Ye snorted when he heard the crowd. " Of course! My Brother Long is the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    " Come with me, Brother Long, The real stuffs are in the upstairs." Liu Ye winked at Long Ming and took him to the upstairs.


    When Long Ming reached the upstairs, he could see the floor filled with various rich nobles and young masters. He had to admit, that the quality of the courteseans here almostparable to the Eternal Spring Tower.


    However, with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming felt a qualitative difference.


    '' Although both are high ss brothels, the courtesans in Eternal Spring Tower worked with their own volition, generating a lot of Fragrant Yin Qi.''


    '' However, the courteseans here simply putting a fake smile, as if they were being forced. Such gloomy aura¡­''


    " Hehe, Brother Long, I heard that a noble n got destroyed by the Imperial Army for some conspiracy. So, there must be some new fresh flowers here." Liu Yeughed. " I shall call them then."


    " Sister A''zhu! Bring the new flowers to serve me and Brother Long."


    " Hehe, Young Master Liu is pretty experienced." A''zhu smiled. " However, As you know, suchdies are a bit pricy. So¡­"


    " Hmph, You think we care about money?" Liu Ye snorted as he ced 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones before A''zhu. " Go, We are going to enjoy the whole night. And, if more needed, juste to me."


    " Brother Liu is truly generous. This ve shall obey all yourmands." A''zhu''s smile brightened as she bowed and left hurriedly.


    Soon, various dishes piled before on Long Ming and Liu Ye''s table. " Brother Long, This Spring Flower Wine is one of the best wines you can get in the Holy Qilin City. But it''s still tame before the Eternal Spring Tower''s wines."


    " Well, I take that as apliment." Long Ming looked at the golden shrimp as he sliced and ate it. " Actually, Brother Liu, What did you meant earlier by new flowers?"


    " Don''t you know?" Liu Ye drank a mouthful of wine as he looked at Long Ming. " When a family unable to pay their debt or found to be engaged against the Imperial Family, the entire family got arrested."


    " The men either get killed or exiled into deep and harsh mining ranges. As for women¡­" Liu Ye showed his surroundings. " They get sold here, bing ythings of others."


    " Of course, The Imperial Family would squeeze every bit of worth and money out of them."


    Long Ming was enlightened when he heard that. " This¡­Isn''t that kinda evil?"


    " Evil?" Liu Yeughed. " Brother Long, Do you really think it''s evil? It''s simply actions and consequences."


    " Unless you are a powerful Ancient Family or Imperial Sect, going against the Imperial Family is simply courting death."


    Long Ming nodded as he kept eating. He understood that in this world, the one with the bigger fist is the one who makes the rule.


    If you don''t want to follow the rule, either crush that fist with a bigger fist or escape from the area of the fist.


    " Tsk, Feudalism is truly sinful. Imagine how much tears and despair these beds of flowers have absorbed." Long Ming sighed.


    " Well, Even if it''s sinful, it''s both pleasurable and profitable." Liu Ye grinned. " Imagine, you walk inside and see the wife and daughter of your rival family here. In such a case, a person would definitely spend a lot to have fun with them."


    " But Brother Liu, What''s happening there? Is that some sort of gathering?"


    " Ah, Today must be the day of weekly treasure gathering." Liu Ye clicked his tongue. " Basically, Various peoplee here and gamble or exchange various treasures and information."


    " If you pay enough money, you can even hire a professional appraiser to check the treasures." Liu Ye''s eyes gleamed. " Brother Long, How about we go and check some treasures?"


    " Why not?" Long Ming chuckled as he and Liu Ye walked there.


    Long Ming could see there were many people who were hiding their identities with masks. Meanwhile, there are also people who didn''t bother to hide their identity.


    As Long Ming and Liu Ye got their seats, they looked at the various tables. But at that moment, a pair of girls walked before them before bowing politely.


    " Young Master Liu, Young Master Long, Miss A''zhu has sent us to serve you."


    " En, Go ahead and massage us." Liu Ye nodded. " Also, pour me some wine."


    " Yes."


    Long Ming chuckled as he could see a rebellious fire in the younger girl''s eyes. However, she gritted her teeth and walked behind Long Ming,r kneading his shoulds gently.


    " Mm, You got quite some perky ass." Liu Ye grinned viciously as he rubbed the butt of the girl serving him wine. The girl trembled, but she didn''t dare to offend Liu Ye.


    Not only Liu Ye, but there were many who were simply taking good advantage of the girls out in public.


    '' At least someone isn''t fucking here outright.'' Long Mingughed in his heart.


    Since such culture is deeply rooted in people here, Long Ming had no interest in being a white knight and trying to change it.


    " Millennium old Water Crystal Grass! Five stalks for 200,000 mid grade spirit stones!"


    " A broken Earth grade treasure! Although broken, it still contains the power of an Innate type treasure. So, 100,000 mid grade spirit stones."


    " Information about 5000 Year old Blood Fire Fruit Tree! Completely authentic nothing is false!"


    Long Ming closed his eyes as he enjoyed the massage of the girl behind him. Meanwhile, the bastard Liu Ye already made the other girl sit on hisp, sharing his wine with her.


    [ Ding! Random quest triggered!]


    [ Sell a self produced piece of art at 100 High grade spirit stones minimum]


    [ Reward: A Random Treasure box!]


    [ Failure: Reduction in proficiency in Four Arts]


    [ You can choose not to ept the quest]


    Long Ming raised his brows when he saw that. " Well, Since I always behaved as a schr, I should also do things like schr, no?"


    " Hmm? What do you mean by that, Brother Long?" Liu Ye was enjoying the quivering girl on hisp when he heard the murmurs of Long Ming.


    Long Ming took a deep sigh as he chuckled. " Beautifuldy, Go and bring me a sheet of paper."


    The girl was absent minded as she kept massaging Long Ming''s shoulders.


    " Hmph! Didn''t you hear what Brother Long said?!" Liu Ye snorted as a bit of his aura erupted, weighing down on that younger girl.


    " Ahh!"


    The girl''s expression changed as she felt a powerful force crushing on her. " I¡­ I shall bring it right away."


    " Hmph, Useless! You should get punished." Liu Ye snorted. However, the girl sitting on hisp trembled. " My lord, She¡­she is my sister. Please, have mercy on that ignorant girl."


    " Oh, Is that so?" Liu Ye chuckled as he hugged that girl tighter. " Then, you better pay for her mischief."


    The younger sister clenched her teeth when she looked at her older sister. However, in this ce, both of them were simply powerless.


    She ced the sheet of paper before Long Ming respectfully. Long Ming took out his Five Elemental Inkstone and Treasures Jade Brush.


    Dipping the brush in condensed Fragrant Yin Qi, Long Ming rubbed it on the inkstone as he started to write on the sheet of paper.


    Each of his strokes was slow and precise, as if Long Ming was painting an art. The younger sister was stunned when she saw Long Ming''s beautiful calligraphy.


    Not to mention, she felt like the words contained some sort of mysterious charm, making her look at it more and more.


    The flow of Fragrant Yin Qi attracted quite some people''s attention. Long Ming finished writing it and gave it to the younger girl.


    " Go and ce it in the treasure exchanging ce. As for the price¡­Don''t sell it below 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones."


    Long Ming''s voice was loud when he spoke that, making everyone gasp.


    " 100,000 mid grade spirit stones for a calligraphy piece?"


    " Who does he think he is? Some renowned noble schr?"


    " But he does look pretty handsome though?"


    The girl was startled, but she nodded and took the piece.


    Everyone became eager to see Long Ming''s 100,000 mid grade spirit stone worth of poes as the girl unfurled the scroll.


    Flower no flower


    mist no mist


    arrives at midnight


    and leaves at dawn


    arrives like a spring dream ¨C how many times


    leaves like a morning cloud ¨C nowhere to find.


    " This¡­"


    " Interesting poem. It speaks pretty well about the passing beauty of a courtesan."


    " What a poem indeed. But¡­The piece of calligraphy seems even more¡­enchanting."


    " Wait, Does that calligraphy piece¡­ contain intent energy?"


    " Huh?"

 Chapter 200 Second Prince

    <h4>Chapter 200 Second Prince</h4>


    When cultivators used their divine sense to scan the poem, suddenly, they felt like plum blossoms and petals were flying around them as they entered into a strange scene.


    They can vividly see a schr drinking wine, mourning at the passing beauty of a courtesan before him.


    " Truly¡­ It''s the Intent of Calligraphy."


    " To think that young man can epass his intent in calligraphy. Even in the Western Taoist Temple, such people are rare."


    " But 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones for that. Doesn''t that sound a bit pricy, no?"


    " Who knows? There might be someone who is willing to purchase it."


    The girl was shocked when she saw the cultivators who were disdaining earlier now flocking around her like a bird.


    " Little girl, Who is that young master?"


    " Girl, I will pay 20,000 Mid grade spirit stones. Will you sell it to me?"


    " I¡­I¡­"


    The girl stammered as she felt nervous under the gazes of so many cultivators. However, she mustered her courage as she looked at them.


    " As my Young Master said, the minimum price of this calligraphy piece is 100,000 mid grade spirit stones." The girl spoke in a suppressed voice.


    " So, Please¡­ If lords wish to bid for this piece, please start bidding from 100,000 mid grade spirit stones."


    " This¡­"


    " Haah, 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones¡­"


    " Youngdy, take this 150,000 mid grade spirit stones and give this painting to me." An eunuch walked out as he bowed before the girl lightly, cing a pouch before her.


    " Also, Please tell your young master that someone wishes to see him in the White Flower Courtyard."


    " What?"


    " Is that guy really buying that?"


    " Look at the eunuch''s robe. His robe has the noble qilin pattern. He must be a high ranking official or someone from the Imperial Family."


    The crowd discussed among themselves. Meanwhile, the girl took the pouch and gave the scroll to the eunuch. However, holding the pouch, she felt her hands were trembling. After all, she never held so much money at once.


    Long Ming was enjoying the wine while looking at the scene. The girl soon came back and presented the pouch to Long Ming. " Young Master, I sold that poem for 150,000 mid grade spirit stones. Also, the eunuch asked me to pass a message to you. Someone wishing to meet you in White Flower Courtyard."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming raised his brows when he heard that. Finishing his cup, turned around and looked at the girl. " I don''t know where this White Flower Courtyard is. Can you guide me there?"


    " En."


    The girl nodded subconsciously when she heard Long Ming''s question. Now, seeing Long Ming''s refined and gentle smile, the girl felt her heart thumping faster.


    " Please, Follow me, Young master."


    [ Ding! Questpleted! Host received a random treasure chest!]


    Long Ming smiled as he followed the girl. Soon, they reached another part of the building. Long Ming was surprised when he saw an open courtyard created on the 10th floor of the building.


    Indeed, using spatial maniption, even the most absurd architectural design can be achieved here.


    Long Ming looked at the open garden, with no boundary wall before him. From there, he could see the view of the Holy Qilin City.


    " This is the White Flower Courtyard. Only a true VVIP can use this ce." The girl spoke in a low voice. Then, she tried to give the pouch of spirit stones to Long Ming.


    " Young Master, your money¡­"


    " Keep it. It''s yours." Long Ming chuckled as he waved his hands. " Although it''s not enough to make you and your sister get out of here, it can at least ease your life."


    " This¡­ This is¡­too much." The girl trembled when she heard Long Ming.


    100,000 Mid grade spirit stones were her family''s six-month''s earnings. However, Long Ming simply gave her that much without saying anything.


    If he wasn''t in need of money, why would he sell his calligraphy like that?


    '' Could it be¡­He wanted to sell that to give money to me?'' The girl was shocked in her heart when she thought about that. Looking at Long Ming. her cheeks blushed as a strange feeling filled her heart.


    " Young Master¡­ I¡­ I am really grateful for this. I¡­If you wish, you cane to my room tonight."


    Saying that the girl turned around and ran out hurriedly. '' Why?! Why the hell I said that?''


    But it was probably the best oue for her. After all, giving her first time to some rough bastard, why won''t she give it to someone like Long Ming?


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. However, as he walked inside, a voice startled her.


    " Heh, It looks like Brother Long is as popr among women as ever."


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes swirled as he gazed at a young man sitting beside a stone table, drinking tea gently under the moonlight.


    Beside her, a familiar figure was standing. She was none other than Jiang Wanxue.


    " My, I guess the intelligencework of Imperial Family is too strong." Long Ming smiled wryly." The news of my arrival spread this fast, huh?"


    After that, he cupped his fist as he bowed lightly. " Long Ming greets Second Prince."


    " Hmm? Why do you think I am the Second Prince?" The young man''s skin was a bit pale. However, his smile was pretty amicable.


    " Well, Azure Qilin guarding the shadows, the condensation of national fortune, and the aura of Prince Star shining on you." Long Ming chuckled. " You don''t have the bearing of Crown Prince and I already met Prince Qin Chen and Qin Zhong. So, You can be only the second prince."


    " My, Brother Long''s eyes are very sharp. Wanxue, You sure didn''t tell him about me?" The young man coughed lightly as she looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    " I¡­ I don''t think he ever saw you. After all, You don''t go out of the pce too much," Jiang Wanxue spoke.


    " Come, Sit, Brother Long. You don''t need to keep standing like that."


    " Very well."


    " Let me introduce myself. I am Qin Yong, The Second Prince of the Holy Qilin Empire. And, she is my sister, Jiang Wanxue."


    " Jiang Wanxue? Not Qin Wanxue?" Long Ming raised his eyebrows as he asked.


    " Well, It''s kindaplicated. But believe me, she is a real princess." Qin Yongughed lightly.


    " It''s not like I don''t know." Long Ming smacked his lips as he nced at Jiang Wanxue. " After all, In the Azure Sun Secret Realm, I got to know Young Lady Jiang thoroughly."


    Although Jiang Wanxue remained stoic as ever, but Long Mingughed as he felt a death re from her, along with her slightly rosy cheeks.


    " Haha, I have to thank you for protecting my sister, Brother Long. If it wasn''t for you, she might have lost her life there." Qin Yong smiled as he poured some tea for himself.


    " It was nothing, His Highness Second Prince." Long Ming shook his head. " I guess it was a mutual benefit for both of us. So, I saved her."


    " Haha, And I thought you were going to speak about some righteous cause. I guess Brother Long is a pretty realistic person." Qin Yong chuckled.


    " But, I am pretty intrigued to hear about something. The death of Qin Chen¡­"


    " It was an unfortunate event indeed." Long Ming sighed with a sad tone. " After all, Who would have thought such a strange monster was lurking down there, baiting everyone in and killing them."


    " Prince Qin Chen caught into such an ident. He was a very good person."


    " Pff¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue clenched her fist as she did her best to stopughing. She couldn''t believe how shameless Long Ming could be. He is spewing bullshit without a single mistake.


    Even Qin Yong''s face turned strange as he almost choked on his tea.


    " Brother Long is very sympathetic." Qin Ying nodded. " It''s indeed saddening that Brother Qin Chen left us. However, For now, we can only move forward."


    " The Battle Tournament is near. Brother Long, do you think you can enter the top 100?" Qin Yong asked.


    " Top 100? I guess His Highness is still doubtful regarding my strength." Long?Ming chuckled.


    " Well, Brother Long, You must be careful. Not only the great sects and families of the Holy Qilin Empire, but talents from the entire Eastern Provinceing here."


    " This Holy Qilin City is a ce of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Brother Long better be careful." Qin Yong nced at him.


    " I shall keep that in my heart." Long Ming nodded. ." But I have to admit. Having three Harmonization Realm death guards hiding in shadows, the security of His Highness is pretty tight."


    " Haha, I don''t think so." Qin Yong''s turned a bit stiff as he smiled.


    " They are doing their jobs pretty well." Long Mingughed. " It''s just that my senses are a bit sharp."


    " And, I hope I can talk with Miss Jiang privately after this." Long Ming added another sentence.


    " But I don''t want to meet you privately." Jiang Wanxue refused tly. " If you wish to say about it, say right now."


    " Haha, No need to get so hasty, Wanxue." Qin Yong got up and patted Jiang Wanxue''s shouldersughingly. " You guys should spend more time."


    "Yo-You¡­"


    " Huhu, I am feeling pretty cold outside." Long Ming got up as he walked near a door. ncing at Jiang Wanxue with a mischievous smile, heughed.


    " Why don''t you join me inside, Princess?"

 Chapter 201 Imperial Family’s Plan

    <h4>Chapter 201 Imperial Family''s n</h4>


    " To think you actually noticed the shadow guards. Your divine sense is pretty kneen." Jiang Wanxue sat on a chair elegantly as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Well, Everyone got their own secrets, no?" Long Mingughed lightly as he sat before Jiang Wanxue.


    " So, Miss Wanxue, Did you miss me?"


    " Why should I?" Jiang Wanxue poured some tea into a cup as she spoke in a cid voice. " Young Master Long, I have much more important work rather than thinking about you."


    " Ouch! Miss Jiang is hurting my fragile heart." Long Ming rubbed his chest as he feigned an expression of pain.


    " Can you stop acting so shameless? Just how thick your skin is?" Jiang Wanxue couldn''t help but mutter as she looked at Long Ming''s expression.


    " Well, I believe you felt my skin thoroughlyst time."


    *CRACK!!*


    Cracks appeared on the teacup as Jiang Wanxue''s calm expression remained on her face. " Were you saying anything?"


    " I was saying¡­Why drink tea when I got something better here?" Long Mingughed lightly as he took out his Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes.


    Unsealing the urn, Long Ming poured wine into two sses. Jiang Wanxue raised her eyebrows when she inhaled the fragrance of the wine.


    " Meeting after so long, Why waste time with tea?" Long Ming grinned as he poured wine and passed to Jiang Wanxue.


    *After two sses*


    " Hooo, This wine is really¡­strong." Jiang Wanxue felt her cheeks turning red as she took a deep breath. She was shocked to feel the richness and intoxication of Four Seasons True Wine.


    " So, I don''t think the only reason you called me here is to introduce me to your brother?" Long Ming looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    " Almost, but there is something else too." Jiang Wanxue took a light sip as she looked at Long Ming.


    " The Sky Martial Tower and other forces are also going to participate in the battle tournament." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming. " Not to mention, Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain are already hostile towards Four Seasons Valley. This Battle Tournament might be tough for your sect."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming smiled. " Don''t worry, Miss Jiang, Four Seasons Valley still has many tricks under its sleeve."


    " Two core disciples of Sky Martial Tower already reached Harmonization Realm. Not to mention, They even went through their Royal grade Minor Physique Tribtion."


    " However, the most terrifying one is Li Yunhai, The saint child of Sky Martial Tower."


    " I heard he got acknowledged by a True Imperial Treasure, Azure Crescent Halberd."


    " But what''s even more, he even found an Imperial Physique cultivation technique and cultivated it till the Minor Completion stage. He can easily suppress any cultivation in Harmonization Realm with ease."


    Long Ming was startled when he heard that. Sky Martial Tower and Four Seasons Valley''s rtionship was like fire and water. If Li Yunhai continues to grow, he will be a threat to Four Seasons Valley.


    However, Mu Qinglian also hid her strength pretty well. Therefore, if a fight breaks out between Mu Qinglian and Li Yunhai, it would be hard to tell who is going to win.


    '' But if we talk about quality, Sky Martial Tower has grown across the years while Four Seasons Valley declined. No matter what, the gap between them is significant.'' Long Ming pondered inwardly.


    " Are you scared?" Jiang Wanxue''s cheeks flushed as she looked at Long Ming with amused eyes. " You know, the Imperial Family will support Four Seasons Valley if you submit to us."


    " I am not in the position to decide that." Long Ming shook his head.


    " Then join the Imperial Family. The resources here are more abundant than Four Seasons Valley." Jiang Wanxue proposed instantly. " If you agree, We can arrange to give you a True treasure of Grand Heaven Ascension Realm."


    " You are very generous, Lady Jiang. However, I have no intention to do so." Long Ming shook his head.


    " Besides, Why does the Holy Qilin Empire wish to win over Four Seasons Valley anyway?"


    " You don''t know?" Jiang Wanxue raised her brows. " Being the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, I thought you knew about this open secret."


    " Well, I hope you can enlighten me."


    Jiang Wanxue sighed as she leaned back. " Listen, The path of Grand Dao is simply limitless. There are infinite paths to reach the same summit."


    " An Emperor is called as the son of heaven. As you know about the fortune of a nation, the greater thend, the more fortune will gather, and the more blessed the Imperial Family and Emperor will be." Jiang Wanxue exined to Long Ming.


    " Four Seasons Valley is a powerful Imperial Lineage, blessed with the karmic luck of three Heavenly Emperors. If we manage to get the domain of Four Seasons Valley, my father¡­ The current Emperor will be more powerful, and so will the princes and other imperial family members."


    " Not to mention, our reach will spread across the Westward Bay, and using that as a springboard, we can even target the Ring of Thousand Inds."


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt like he grasped something.


    Meng Zhi already told him that the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire might have some connection with the Ring of Thousand Ind. Now, hearing Jiang Wanxue, Long Ming wondered if returning to the Ring of Thousand Ind was the goal of the Holy Qilin Empire.


    '' Why do I feel like I suddenly grabbed a clue of a big conspiracy spanning across millions of miles?'' Long Ming rubbed his forehead.


    However, Four Seasons Valley can''t submit to the Holy Qilin Empire as it would be a shame for their ancestors.


    " Well, Four Seasons Valley isn''t the only ce filled with karmic luck." Long Ming chuckled. " I mean, Why not attack other ces?"


    " But Four Seasons Valley is currently the weakest."


    Long Ming became speechless when he heard that. But it does look like Four Seasons Valley is currently the weakest powerhouse sitting atop a mountain of treasures. No wonder why so many powers are trying to be hostile against Four Seasons Valley.


    " So, What is the stance of the Imperial Family?" Long Ming finally asked the question. Jiang Wanxue''s lips curled as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Unless Four Seasons Valley can pull a miracle, Blissful Heaven Temple and Sky Martial Tower will do?their best to crush the Four Seasons Valley." Jiang Wanxue closed her eyes. " And, if the situation bes unfavorable for Four Seasons Valley, then Imperial Family will definitely side with Sky Martial Tower."


    " That means there is a chance that Imperial Family might not go against Four Seasons Valley?"


    " As I said, depends upon the situation." Jiang Wanxue answered.


    " Well, That''s assuring. I hope I can manage to get the Imperial Family to my side." Long Ming got up as he looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    " Let''s see¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue shook her head as she answered vaguely. However, suddenly, she felt her Long Ming held her waist and pulled towards him.


    " Wh-What are you doing? Let me¡­go¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue was startled as she tried to push Long Ming away. However, the Four Seasons True Wine showed its effects as Jiang Wanxue felt tipsy. Her struggles were like a cute kitten scratching on Long Ming''s body.


    " Well, Enough of serious topics." Long Ming grinned as he held her tightly. " Shouldn''t you treat me with more affection? My dear bed warming maid?"


    " Yo-You! How dare you¡­"


    " Did you not promise to be my bed warming maid?"


    " I¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue''s face flushed when she heard that. However, as she wanted to protest, Long Ming suddenly kissed her.


    " Mnnn¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue sighed as she felt Long Ming''s lips sealed her lips tightly, his tongue slowly prying her mouth open and teasing her tongue.


    Slowly, instead of resisting, Jiang Wanxue lets Long Ming do whatever he wants.


    " I¡­ I don''t love you at all. Just because¡­ we had sex, that doesn''t mean¡­we are in a rtionship." Jiang Wanxue bit her lips as she red at Long Ming.


    However, Long Ming only smiled as he kept holding her. " No matter what you say, after that moment, you are my woman, Jiang Wanxue."


    " No matter what, I won''t let you go."


    Jiang Wanxue felt a strange feeling in her heart, making a small smile appear on her face. However, it soon faded as she looked at Long Ming.


    " I am already bethroed to someone."


    " Don''t know, don''t care."


    " You will regret it."


    " Let''s see¡­"


    " Haaah¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue sighed, but before she could say anything else, Long Ming kissed her again.


    '' This rascal¡­He isn''t letting me go at all.'' Jiang Wanxue grumbled.


    But, strange enough, she didn''t feel like resisting much.


    " Fine, You should go back now. It''s not I mind if some gossip about us starts flying though." Long Ming said yfully.


    " Rouge! You are simply a rouge!"


    Jiang Wanxue spat as she pushed Long Ming. Although her steps were staggering, she focused and walked away.


    Long Ming smacked his lips as he could feel the aftertaste of Jiang Wanxue''s winey lips.


    " Huh?"


    The moment he walked out of the courtyard, he was startled when he saw a girl standing before him. It was the same girl who escorted him here.


    " Young Master¡­Will you spend your night in my boudoir?"

 Chapter 202 Rewards of Tournament

    <h4>Chapter 202 Rewards of Tournament</h4>


    It was almost dawn when Long Ming woke up. Stretching his body, he could hear the soft breathing of the girl beside him. Gently kissing her lips, Long Ming got up and put on his robe.


    His movements woke up the girl as she woke up, rubbing her eyes as she saw Long Ming was already ready to go out.


    " Well, Congrattions on your advancement." Long Ming smiled. " I am sure the treatment of your sister will be a bit better if you break through to True Core Formation Realm."


    " Ahh?! This¡­"


    The girl was shocked when she felt the surging qi inside her divine sea. In just one night, she reached the Peak stage of the Violet Pce Expansion Realm and was about to ascend to the True Core Formation Realm.


    " Ughh¡­It''s¡­Aching a bit."


    Looking at the red stained flower on the bedsheet, the girl blushed furiously. The aching pain in her lower abdomen made her realize was she already be a woman.


    " Young Master Long, Thank you for everything you have done for me. I¡­I shall never forget your kindness." The girl knelt on the bed before Long Ming.


    " No need for that. If fate allows, we shall meet again." Long Ming smiled and turned around as he walked out.


    The girl sighed as she slowly got up, wearing her clothes back.


    Her body thrilled as she remembered the vigorous yet gentle pounding of Long Ming throughout the night. The reverent kisses, the lovebites all over her body, she was thoroughly dominated by Long Ming for an entire night.


    A light smile appeared on her face as she tore the blood stained part of the bedsheet and kept it safely. After that, she sat cross legged and tried to break through to the True Core Formation Realm.


    As Long Ming walked out, he inquired about Liu Ye.


    And, it looks like after Long Ming left, Liu Ye got invited by one of his usualdies and spent a night with her. And, he was so exhausted that he was still sleeping.


    '' Tch, Could it be he is suffering from kidney deficiency? Or¡­He awakened some new fetish after getting pounded by his bodyguard?'' Long Ming chuckled inwardly.


    Soon after, he left the building, he could see the market of the Holy Qilin City was slowly opening. Since it was dawn, the workers had already started to go to work and the people already started to open their stalls and shops.


    As Long Ming was passing leisurely. His steps halted when he saw a middle aged man setting up a food stall. It looks like he was selling some fried dough along with sweet milk.


    " Well, How much for a serving?" Long Ming walked to him as he asked with a smile.


    " One serving costs 10 mid grade spirit stones." The middle aged manughed lightly. " Since you are my first customer today, I shall do it with 8 spirit stones."


    " Pack five servings, please."


    " As you wish."


    The middle aged man smiled as he packed the servings for Long Ming. " I don''t think you are a native here."


    " I came here for the Battle Tournament." Long Ming nodded. " I am from Four Seasons Valley."


    " Ah, So Four Seasons Valley is also participating, huh?" The middle aged man was interested. " But I heard their sect declined long ago. Other than the Saintess Mu Qinglian who defeated disciples of major sects two years ago, I don''t think there is anyone in Four Seasons Valley with much potential."


    " Then, Get ready to be proven wrong, uncle." Long Ming smiled. " This time, Four Seasons Valley will do well in Battle Tournament."


    " Haha, Then I wish you luck, Young Man."


    Long Ming bade him farewell as he walked away. As he left, the smile on the middle aged man''s face became profound. '' Interesting. To think there is someone like him in Four Seasons Valley. I can''t see through his cultivation at all.''


    '' Yet his physical body¡­It''s like a towering mountain filled with life and vitality.''


    '' This Battle Tournament is going to be fun.''


    Long Ming chewed a fried dough as he was also thinking about many things.


    '' Holy Qilin City is truly a den of hidden existences. Who would have thought a random street peddler is actually a master of Nine Transformations of Soul Realm?''


    '' But looking at his energy, it looks like he is someone rted to the Imperial Family, but not rted by blood. A hidden master protecting the city secretly, huh?''


    As Long Ming returned to the Yuxing Tower, he saw Mu Qinglian was already waiting for him with a dead gaze.


    " Good Morning, Senior Sister. I brought breakfast for you." Long Ming gave a bright smile as he handed the breakfast to her.


    " Where you werest night?"


    " Well, Walking around the city and exploring things?" Long Ming chuckled.


    " Then¡­Why do I smell the fragrance of another woman on you?"


    " I say, Senior Sister, Do you have a heavenly dog''s nose?" Long Ming was speechless. " Or, Do you love to smell me¡­"


    *BOOOM*


    The wall trembled with runic chains as Mu Qinglian punched it. " Haha, The formation that protects the building is pretty strong, no?"


    Long Ming grimaced when he saw the smiling face of Mu Qinglian. However, he didn''t want to irk her as he passed the breakfast to her.


    " I received a message from the Master. She said she would be arriving here today. After all, tomorrow is the day the Battle Tournament will start."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming nodded. " So, are our disciples ready for the event?"


    " I hope so." Mu Qinglian ate the fried dough as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Actually, Since it''s a tournament, what are the prizes?"


    " Although it differs every time, one thing remains the same." Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming.


    " The baptism of Blood Qilin Spring and pick a technique from the Imperial Library."

    Greetings, Fellow Daoists. Chck out my new book, Eroge! I can Travel to Ancient World!

 Chapter 203 Royal Alchemy Garden

    Chapter 203 Royal Alchemy Garden


    It was already daytime as Ming Yuexin walked out of her room. She saw Mu QInglian and Long Ming chatting happily while eating breakfast.


    '' Tch, she woke up earlier, Huh?'' Ming Yuexin sighed in her heart.


    " Good Morning, Sister Ming."


    " Hehe, Good morning, Brother Long." Ming Yuexin walked and hugged Long Ming''s arm. " Well, Thanks to you, I made great progress in my sword technique. I reached the perfection stage of my zing Sun Three Swords and Scorching Summer Sword Art."


    " Not to mention, my power and control over the sword intent increased. I can merge my intent of fire and sword intent more deeply and naturally."


    " Well, That''s very good news. Sister Ming really too talented." Long Ming smiled.


    " Haah, Only if Sister Ming wasn''t disfigured that year, she would have already reached the Harmonization Realm." Mu Qinglian sighed as she shook her head. " Sister Ming. I am¡­"


    " No need to apologize, Qinglian." Min Yuexin shook her head. " If me getting disfigured was a fate, getting cured by Brother Long was also fate."


    " Maybe, If that ident hadn''t happened, I wouldn''t have met Brother Long as I met him." Ming Yuexin gave a warm smile.


    " Ara, I thought Little Long would returnte. But here you are, energetic and vigorous as ever." A voice drifted out as Long Ming nced at Meng Zhi. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as she looked at Meng Zhi with surprise.


    " Big Sister Meng, You broke through to the High stage of Harmonization Realm?" Long Ming raised his brows as he looked at Meng Zhi.


    " Oh my, You can see through my cultivation?" Meng Zhi was surprised. " My, Doesn''t that mean you can also see through my clothes, even though they are enchanted?"


    Long Ming almost choked on his saliva when he heard that. " Sister Meng, It''s just morning. Can you not be so¡­spicy?"


    " And, I thought you liked spicy stuff." Meng Zhi walked forward and stood right before Long Ming. Since Long Ming was sitting, his face was right before the soft and plump mountains of Meng Zhi.


    Long Ming''s nose twitched lightly as he felt like he smelled something fragrant and enchanting. Long Ming suddenly had an urge to suck the titties without thinking anything else.


    But suddenly, the Soul Nourishing Bell in his soul shook as his thoughts became calm. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone and he saw ayer of faint dark aura covering Meng Zhi''s body.


    Even for powerful cultivators, this dark aura was simply invisible. However, the allure of the aura was evident. Not to mention the witch like beauty of Meng Zhi, this aura around her was like giving the best flower the best fragrance, an unbeatable pair.


    " Hmph, Why don''t you just jump into that?"


    Mu Qinglian''s sharp voice gave Long Ming goosebumps as he saw Mu Qinin ring at him.


    " Hehe, It''s not my fault. Sister Meng is being mischievous again." Long Ming shook his head. " I guess she can''t just admit that her charm technique won''t work on me."


    Meng Zhi raised her brows as her lips curled in delight." I am very amazed, Little Brother. Even now, you retained your sanity. I guess your spiritual power and consciousness are calm like tranquil water."


    " Hmph, charm techniques are just paltry techniques." Ming Yuexin snorted. " No charm technique can defeat a true beauty and personality."


    " Is that so?"


    " Hmm? I¡­"


    Ming Yuexin''s eyes became dazed as Meng Zhi raised her chin with her index finger. " Oh, Xiao Yuexin, You are too ignorant about the dark world." Meng Zhi grinned as she rubbed the lips of Ming Yuexin. Ming Yuexin, who would have backed away by now, just sat there in a daze, letting Meng Zhi tease her.


    " Enough! No need to tease her." Mu Qinglian''s voice was like a burst of spiritual force, making Ming Yuexin wake from the daze. Her back was drenched in cold sweat when she looked at Meng Zhi with shock.


    It barely took any time before Meng Zhi made Ming Yuexin in her charm technique.


    " Just because Little Brother can do it, doesn''t mean everyone can beat my charm technique." Meng Zhi spoke in a light voice.


    " Alright, We are in Holy Qilin City. Shouldn''t we do something interesting?" Long Ming rubbed his chin as he tried to mediate the situation.


    '' That''s definitely the Evil Moon Yin Qi. To think Meng Zhi would be able to control it. No, she used it and achieved a breakthrough. That means she had a cultivation technique that uses the Evil Moon Yin Qi.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    He was truly interested in the secret of Meng Zhi. However, it wasn''t the right moment to jump into it.


    " Ah, From that, I think the Hundred Treasures Pavilion is going to do an auction today. After all, Tomorrow is the Battle Tournament. So, everyone going to purchase treasures like crazy."


    " Other than that, I think there is also an Alchemical Gathering at the Royal Alchemy Garden today." Meng Zhi closed her eyes as she spoke.


    " Royal Alchemy Garden? Is that under the Imperial Family?" Long Ming became curious.


    " Although it''s founded by the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire, It''s apletely independent power consisting of alchemists of the entire empire and other forces."


    " For example, Alchemists of the Imperial Family, Pill Martial Hall, and other sects are also members. So, Imperial Family can''t monopolize at all."


    " Other than exchanging pills and medicinal herbs, The Royal Alchemy Garden also issues the certification of an alchemist. If you are certified by the Royal Alchemy Garden, even outside the Holy Qilin Empire, no one will doubt you."


    " That sounds pretty fun." Long Ming''s eyes brightened. " Since that''s the case, How about we go there instead? We got many medicinal herbs from the Azure Sun Secret Realm. I guess we can grab some good pills in exchange for them."


    The Battle Tournament is just a day after. So, Long Ming felt it would be very reasonable to get some essential medicinal pills for the disciples of Four Seasons Valley.


    Not to mention, he really wanted to see how much attraction his few dozen millenium old herbs would cause. After all, every single herb in the Herbal Sanctuary was a precious treasure in the outside world.


    Where people were excited to find a few thousand year old herbs, Long Ming and the disciples of Four Seasons Valley harvested the herbs which were over ten thousand years old minimum.


    Also, Long Ming felt that it would be a waste to not use his talent in pill refining to show off. " Since you want to go, I have no objections." Mu Qinglia nodded. Ming Yuexin also jumped forward, " I will alsoe."


    " Well, I have to stay behind. I have to receive Sect Master Xia." Meng Zhi smiled. " So, you guys can go and enjoy."


    " Alright, Senior Sister Mu, Sister Ming, let''s go." Long Ming got up and patted his clothes. The Royal Alchemy Garden was more like a giant pce with four buildings are four corners. Many people came and went, making it look rushed as usual.


    Unlike treasures, medicinal pills are more essential and used items by cultivators. Therefore, in terms of profit, only Runemasters who crafted charms and talismans cane close to the Alchemists.


    In the middle, it was like an open market, where various people exchanged, purchased, and sold medicinal pills and herbs.


    " Are there no supervisors here? What if someone selling fake pills or medicinal herbs?" Long Ming asked.


    " To set up a stall here, you need the authentication of Royal Alchemy Pce. And, if you are caught malpracticing here, you will suffer terrible consequences." Mu Qinglian smiled.


    " After all, The reputation of Royal Alchemy Hall couldn''t tarnished easily."


    " That looks like the mission board. Let''s go and check it out."

 Chapter 204 Strange Disease

    Chapter 204 Strange Disease


    [ Requesting for a rank three Three Colored Bright Pill! Pills must have at least four rings of purity. Price: 100,000 Mid grade spirit stones!]


    [ Requesting for a 10,000 Year old Purple me Flower! Prince 200,000 mid grade spirit stones!]


    [ Requesting for a bottle of rank four Primordial Spirit Strengthening Pill of at least four rings of purity! Price: 250,000 mid grade spirits stones!]


    Long Ming and others looked at the mission board as they were surprised.


    The mission board was divided into three parts. The lower part was the one with easy and cheap requests. The middle part was one with costly requests.


    Meanwhile, the top part of the quest hall had very few requests. Those are the requests which have been remained unfulfilled for centuries or very hard toplete.


    Most people only looked at the lower part while those with some ability looked at the middle part.


    " Huh? Look at that." Long Ming looked at the top of the request and saw a floating violet parchment.


    [ Need of a Hundred Thousand Year old Purple Blood Ginseng! Reward: Granting the request of a Rank Five Pill of four rings of purity at minimum. 10,000 High grade spirit stones]


    " What a coincidence. I do have a piece of that herb." Long Ming clicked his tongue. " Huh? Now you said that We did harvest that herb from Herbal Sanctuary." Mu Qinglian rubbed her chin as she nodded.


    " Are you nning to sell it to that person?" Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming with curiosity.


    " Why so hasty?" Long Ming fanned himself with his Plum Blossom Fan as he walked away from the Mission Board. " Let''s walk around a bit and enjoy this ce. We can always go there to finish that mission."


    " You¡­Why are youso fickle minded?" Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but shake her head. Ming Yuexin only giggled and followed Long Ming.


    It was more like an open market inside, with people buying and selling herbs. Here, Alchemists are also like doctors. Therefore, many people also look after the alchemists after some illness or injuries. Long Ming was amused to see many alchemists sitting at their stalls, calling out people like hawkers. '' Doctors? They are more like peddlers.'' Long Ming chuckled. However, their attention was attracted by amotion.


    " Bastards! You said my sister will get cursed by your medicine! But it only made the situation worse!"


    " Hmph! How dare you to cause trouble here!"


    *BOOOM*


    A young mannded on the ground as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. However, gritting his teeth he got up and red at the people who wore a shiny uniform.


    " Brother¡­Brother, just stop." A small girl hurried and held the young man as she cried.


    " Hmph! These bastards are scammers!" The young man stood up and yelled out aloud. " You guys took 500,000 mid grade spirit stones from us! Yet you didn''t cure my sister at all!"


    " Hmph, Young man, You are too bold." A skinny looking old man walked out. " I already gave the medicine ording to your sister''s disease. However, it looks like it wasn''t a normal disease."


    " I already did my best and alleviated her condition. Yet, you want me to refund the money?"


    " Alleviated? Hmph! Instead, My sister is suffering more each night!" The young man clenched his fist. " Either return our money or cure my sister."


    " It looks like this boy doesn''t know the business works, huh?"


    " Someone call the guards! This bastard is disrupting the business here."


    Well, Alchemists are just like that. There is always a chance the medicine might fail. But, even if it fails, you can''t just ask for a refund, right?


    " You know what? Let me tell you something." The skinny alchemist shouted. " I am already a Master rank Alchemist, yet I have never seen such a strange disease."


    " Boy, You better purchase more medicine and increase her lifespan. Since I couldn''t cure it, I don''t think there would be anyone who can cure her."


    " Shut up! Shut up you mongrel!"


    " This rascal!"


    Everyone looked at the scene with amusement and contempt. The pair of siblings didn''t look much wealthy. Not to mention, the guards of the Royal Alchemy Garden already appeared.


    [Ding! Random Quest generated! Help the young man to cure his sister! Reward: A Random Treasure Box!]


    [ Failure: Losing the proficiency in appraisal of medicinal herbs]


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows when the sudden quest popped out. '' It looks like this System can''t just stay silent and meddles in people''s situation]


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as he looked at the girl who looked only fourteen years old.


    " Hmm? That''s¡­" Long Ming''s expression turned strange as he looked at the girl with shock. He could see a terrible poison miasma corroding the meridians of the girl.


    However, what made him more amazed was the strange aura surrounding the young man''s body.


    It was simply invisible for others. But for Long Ming who had the power of Heavenly Revtion Eyes and Temporal Fate Simtion Technique, looking at someone''s aura and fate is possible.


    The aura around the young man was fierce like a demon, giving off rich dark energy. The young man''s luck was pretty good. However, for others around him, he was like an star of misfortune.


    '' Hmm, If done nothing, That girl would definitely die.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.'' And if she dies, this young man¡­He will probably go berserk.''


    Long Ming remembered that he still had the poison stone of a Harmonization Realm venomous demon serpent which he had killed in Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    '' Hmm, Do you wish to save you sister?''


    The young man who was yelling suddenly paused as a voice spoke in his mind. '' Don''t react much. Just take your sister and follow me. Maybe, I have a way out..''


    The young man turned around saw a handsome young man stood with a beautiful paper fan. " Young Noble¡­"


    Without any hesitation, that young man followed Long Ming.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Hmm, As I thought, This is not a disease. This is a powerful poison." Long Ming held the wrist of the girl as he spoke in a light voice.


    " Poison? How it could be poison?" The young man was shocked.


    " Well, Believe me or not, It''s poison." Long Ming shrugged. " But the thing is, This is not a poison from a beast or flower. But rather than that, it''s a poison from an item¡­Think like a treasure that emits poison."


    When the young man heard that, his expression changed.


    " Could it be¡­ Damn it! Was it my fault all along?" The young man clutched his hair as he fell on his knees.

 Chapter 205 Completing the Quest

    Chapter 205 Completing the Quest


    Long Ming looked at the girl as he activated his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and Temporal Fate Simtion Technique. Focusing on the strange poison, Long Ming gazed at the distant past of that thing. After all, to cure a problem, you need to know the root cause. And for knowing the root cause, there is no better technique than the Temporal Fate Simtion Technique.


    Suddenly, the surroundings of Long Ming shifted as he saw the pair of siblings in a different ce.


    '' It looks like they are from a mid grade merchant family. However, their enemies killed their family, making these two flee from their original ce.''


    '' While escaping, this young man got a strange box from somewhere. And, everything started the moment this little girl opened the box, and a strange gas entered her body.''


    However, Long Ming noticed something else from the box. There was a strange broken fragment and a scroll.


    '' Holy shit! No wonder this person''s luck is so high!'' Long Ming clicked his tongue as he looked at the young man once again. He felt like the young man was perfect for the criteria for a tragic protagonist, or a viin.


    After all, unless someone cures this young girl, she will definitely die in a month. And if she dies, Long Ming could bet that this young man would turn into a vicious demonic cultivator.


    Another reason behind his thinking was that the poison in the girl''s body had rich demonic energy. And the scroll he saw in the past of the girl gave off a strange, chilly vibe too.


    " Let''s talk about your sister''s condition." Long Ming looked at the young man and spoke. " My suspicion is correct, right? You probably gotten your hands on some sort of ancient yet demonic relic, which inflicted such a poison on this girl, right?"


    " This¡­ This is true." The young man fell on his knees as he looked at Long Ming. " Young Noble, Please help my sister. She is the only person in my family remaining. If something happens to her, I can''t live."


    " Hmm, I have a poison core of a Harmonization Realm demon. I think it can cure her." Long Ming closed his paper fan with a snap as a smirk appeared on his face. " But I wonder if this brother can pay for it? After all, a poison core of a Harmonization Realm Beast, I hope you can guess the price, right?"


    " This¡­ I¡­"


    The young man stammered as Long Ming''s words were like a bucket of icy water pouring down on his head. Even the cheapest and low grade poison core will cost 500,000 Mid grade spirit stones minimum. " Brother¡­ We don''t have¡­that much money¡­" The sister looked at the brother with half closed eyes. " No, Don''t worry about money, Alright?" The young man held his sister as he forced a smile. " I will get you cured, alright?"


    " Young Master, Please save my sister, and I will be your ve for eternity." The young man knelt before Long Ming. " Well, I don''t need such a ve." Long Ming shook his head. " However, I would like to see the treasure that made your sister like this."


    " This¡­ Young Noble¡­"


    Long Ming snorted lightly. " I don''t think I see any sincerity in your eyes. Very well, We shall conclude our talks here."


    " No! Wait¡­" The young man gritted his teeth as he took out a box from his spatial ring. " This is the treasure I got and which caused harm to Lin''er."


    Long Ming opened the chest and looked at the scroll inside. But he didn''t find the strange fragment.


    Taking out the scroll, Long Ming unfurled it.


    '' Crimson Blood Demonic Art?'' Long Ming raised his eyebrows when he saw the name of the technique. Using his heavenlyprehension and learning ability, he uploaded the entire technique into his brain instantly.


    Suddenly, his eyes brightened as heughed out aloud.


    " Hahaha, I see, I see." Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at the girl lying on the ground.


    " Little Sister, You are truly lucky and unlucky." Long Ming chuckled as he caressed her forehead.


    " Wh-What does that mean?" The young man''s face showed some rm as he looked at Long Ming''s expression.


    " You had the cure of your sister all along. Yet you didn''t notice that." Long Ming shook his head. " If your sister cultivates this Crimson Blood Demonic Art, not only she will be cured, but this poison will act like an elixir for her."


    " Wh-What?"


    Both siblings became stunned when they heard Long Ming''s words. " Don''t worry, You can keep this technique. This is a Royal grade qi cultivation technique. However, it also contains the method of cultivating a Noble Grade physique called Blood Fire Body."


    " So, I have a proposal for you." Long Ming looked at him. " How about I treat your sister now and you take her and make her cultivate this technique?"


    "This¡­Is this possible?" The young man was shocked. " You mean¡­


    She will be cured if she cultivates this technique?"


    " Just read this technique, duh." Long Ming shrugged. " But still, You need to give me something more aspensation, alright?"


    " I will! I will definitely do!" The young man nodded hurriedly. Long Ming used the poison core and refined it with his Azure mes. After that, he guided the refined qi in the girl''s body, alleviating her condition.


    " Mm¡­It''s feeling so warm¡­it''s filling me up."


    " Well?"


    Long Ming''s face turned a bit odd when he heard those words. " Ahem, anyway. This will keep the condition of this sister suppressed till she reaches the secondyer of Crimson Blood Demonic Arts."


    " Brother¡­ I am¡­ I am really feeling good now!" The girl slowly stood up as she looked at her brother.


    " Lin''er, are you telling the truth?"


    " Mhm."


    The young man knelt before Long Ming. " Young Noble! You are truly like an incarnation of deity for us! I shall never forget this favor of yours!"


    " Although I don''t have any valuables, I got this strange treasure from a ce. Please, ept it."


    Long Ming''s eyes shed, but he kept his excitement under control. It was the same piece that he saw in the Temporal Fate Simtion Technique.


    In fact, he felt this fragment was more precious than the Royal Grade technique and the dark poison miasma.


    " Brother Long! Brother Long!"


    "Hum? What happened?"


    Long Ming sent Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin with the hundred thousand year old medicinal herb toplete one of those high grade requests. " What happened? You look so anxious?" Long Ming frowned. " Did something bad happen?"


    " Bad? It''s a very big thing!" Ming Yuexin became excited as she held Long Ming''s arms


    " It was a request from a True Elder of Royal Alchemy Garden, A King rank Alchemist. He was so overjoyed when he saw the medicinal herbs."


    " Now, he wishes to meet you and reward you personally, Brother Long."


    " Ah, Such an unexpected piece of luck." Long Ming chuckled as he looked at the sky. Could it be, that changing the fate of the siblings brought him good fortune?


    After all, if Long Ming hadn''t intervened, the young girl would have died from the corrosion of the poison miasma. The young man would have lost his mind and cultivated the Crimson Blood Demonic Arts and turned into an evil cultivator.


    But now, even if he practiced it, he wouldn''t fall to the evil path so easily, thanks to his sister.


    " Well, Let''s go and see what kind of reward he wants to give to us."


    [ Ding! Mission Complete! Host get''s a random chest!]

 Chapter 206 Joining The Royal Alchemy Garden

    Chapter 206 Joining The Royal Alchemy Garden


    Waiting in a luxurious room, Long Ming looked at his surroundings with curious eyes,


    " Interesting. These rune formations can easily draw out a great amount of energy of heaven and earth from the underground Earth Vein. Not to mention, it can even separate them into various elemental energy, assisting the pill refinement."


    Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian as he smiled. Mu Qinglian doesn''t know much about array formations and runes, so she was naturally amazed. " Not to mention, it''s probably made by a King rank Formation Master."


    " Haha, I didn''t know someone would notice the Five Elemental Energy Refining Array so easily."


    Ming Yuexin, Mu Qinglian, and Long Ming stood up as they saw a middle aged man entering the room. He wore a white robe with the insignia of the Royal Alchemy Garden shining on his robe.


    " Greetings, Elder Xu Chenzi. He is our sect''s True Disciple Long Ming and she is my fellow sister Ming Yuexin. Brother Long is the one who found the Hundred Thousand Year Purple Blood Ginseng."


    Long Ming cupped his fist before Xu Chenzi. " Greetings, Elder Xu. I am really d to see a King rank Alchemist like you in person."


    " Haha, No worries. You guys don''t need to keep standing." Xu Chenziughed as he waved his hands, indicating them to sit.


    Mu Qinglian waved her hands as she showed theplete Purple Blood Ginseng. Suddenly, the entire room was filled with an intense medicinal aroma that made everyone feel a faint burning sensation.


    Xu Chenzi''s breathing became heavier when his eyes fell on the ginseng. He stretched his hands and touched its surface.


    " Mmm¡­ Sevenyers on the surface, I can even feel the pulse of this ginseng, as if it''s alive." Xu Chenzi mumbled. " No doubt, It''s indeed a Hundred Thousand Year old Purple Blood Ginseng."


    " Young ones of Four Seasons Valley, Are you willing to hand this medicinal herb to this old man?" Xu Chenzi smiled at Long Ming and others. " If you do so, I will give you a bottle of rank five Spirit Bridge Pill of six ring purity instantly."


    " However, if you need another rank five medicinal pills, you need to wait for some while and gather in ingredients I don''t have,"


    " As for spirit stones, You will get 10,000 High grade spirit stones."


    Xu Chenzi looked at everyone with anticipation, waiting for the reply of Long Ming.


    " Elder Xu, I really love your generosity. However, as you know, this medicinal herb is very hard to find." Long Ming sighed. " We nearly lost our lives as we tried to get this from the Azure Sun Secret Realm."


    " You know that such medicinal herbs always have a powerful demonic beast or a trap beside it, right? Five of our sect disciples died by that demonic beast."


    " I see. My condolences." Xu Chenzi sighed as he could see the grief of Long Ming.


    Ming Yuexin trembled as she pinched her thighs to notugh out loud. Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but roll her eyes. '' Hmph, he is so good at bullshitting. He must be using that to woo girls.''


    " So, Elder Xu, I would like to ask something else other than 10,000 High grade spirit stones."


    Elder Xu sighed as he looked at Long Ming. " The most I can give you is 30,000 High grade spirit stones. You know, High grade spirit stones are very rare and I am already giving you a bottle of rank five medicinal pills."


    " No, I am not asking you for spirit stones." Long Ming shook his head. " My request isn''t that hard to fulfill at all."


    " Oh? Then let me hear it."


    Long Ming smiled as he looked at Xu Chenzi. " In my eyes, spirit stones are nothing more than materialistic things. For me, only knowledge is the truly superior wealth."


    " That''s an interesting point of view." Xu Chenzi rubbed his chin. " So, Do you seek some sort of technique from me?"


    " Rather than that, I would like to join the Royal Alchemy Garden and pursue the dao of alchemy." Long Ming started his conditions.


    " Huh?" Xu Chenzi was taken aback. " My, That''s an interesting proposal. Long Ming, do you know about alchemy and pill refinement?"


    " I do have some understanding regarding it." Long Ming answered. Xu Chenzi looked at him as he nodded. " Very well, I would like to see your attainment in alchemy."


    *After an Hour*


    Xu Chenzi felt his eyes almost pop out when he saw Long Ming refining the medicinal pills. His movements were swift and agile, and the Azure me of his was melting and refining the essence of medicinal herbs with ease.


    Not to mention, Long Ming''s divine sense was like a giant, monitoring and adjusting the refining process with extreme precision.


    But what made Xu Chenzi made even more amazed was, that he felt like Long Ming avoided all the steps that could have ruined the pill refinement.


    Every time he felt Long Ming was going to take a wrong step, Long Ming would adjust himself and avoid it. Not long after, soft popping sounds came from the cauldron as Long Ming lifted the lid, making several round pills jump out.


    " Eight ringed pills?" Xu Chenzi''s expression twitched. Rank three eight ringed pills and all of them?"


    He held all the pills and inspected them. There were eight pills and each of them had eight rings of purity.


    '' He made all these in a single attempt? To think the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley had such talent in alchemist.'' Xu Chenzi thought inwardly.


    " Haha! Looking at your talent, I have no issue with making you a part of Royal Alchemy Garden. Hell, You can be a Master rank Alchemist right away." Xu Chenzi took out a golden token and inscribed it using his true mes. " Here, Take this. This will be the proof that you are a part of our Royal Alchemy Garden. Also, you can tap on our resources as well."


    " Elder Xu is generous. I shall keep your favor in mind." Long Ming stood up and cupped his fist.


    " Since our tasks in concluded here, we shall take our leave."


    " Wait, Take this with you." Xu Chenzi looked at him and threw him two bottles of pills. " One of them is a Spirit Bridge Pill and another one is the True Rejuvenation Healing Pill."


    " If you were fatally wounded, you can use the True Rejuvenation Healing Pill to recover your injuries instantly."


    " Haha, Thank you very much, Elder Xu." Long Ming smiled politely as he turned around and left with Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian.


    " Why did you join the Royal Alchemy Garden?" Ming Yuexin asked in a curious voice. " Do you really wish to pursue the Dao of Alchemy?"


    " Sister Ming, Currently, Our Four Seasons Valley iscking in social connection." Long Ming rubbed his chin. " It''s necessary for us to strengthen the various aspects of our sect."


    " And using the Royal Alchemy Garden, we can sustain some expenditure of our sect''s medicinal expenses." " As expected, Senior Brother Long is so farsighted." Ming Yuexin chuckled.


    Mu Qinglian suddenly flinched as she took out her sect token. " Long Ming, Sister Ming, Let''s go back to Yuxing Tower. Master and other disciples are here."


    " Alright, Let''s go."


    When they returned back, they could see Xia Yuqing sitting with Meng Zhi and discussing something. Long Ming also noticed Chen Yin, Lin Xie, Shui Huan, Luo Yingying, and others.


    " Senior Brother Long!"


    " Look, Senior Brother Long is here."


    " Wee, Master." Mu Qinglian and Long Ming bowed before Xia Yuqing. However, Long Ming was shocked as he looked at Xia Yuqing. Although Xia Yuqing was hiding, her aura was more robust and stable than before. " Master, you have advanced?" Long Ming was surprised.

 Chapter 207 Senior Brother Really Likes That

    Chapter 207 Senior Brother Really Likes That


    Xia Yuqing was startled as she looked at Long Ming. " Not bad. You really noticed it, hum?"


    " Huh? Wait, What?" Meng Zhi kept looking back and forth between Long Ming and Xia Yuqing. " Sect Master, You reached the Mid stage of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm?"


    " You can say like that." Xia Yuqing smiled lightly. " Long Ming, remember when you brought a golden page from Hundred Treasure Pavilion? It carried the intent of an Ancient Lord Cultivator.


    " After I and Grand Elder studied that, she is already gone to seclusion to recover her cultivation of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm."


    " As for me¡­You can say I also benefitted a lot from it. Besides, the Guidance from Elder Tianzi also helped me to improve my strength."


    " Whoa? Doesn''t that mean our Four Seasons'' Valley recovered a lot of strength at once?" Ming Yuexin couldn''t help but blurt out. " After all, With so many Nine Transformation of Soul Realm powerhouses and the recent wealth from Azure Sun Secret Realm, we don''t need to bow before the trashes like Blissful Heaven Temple and other third grade sects, right?"


    Not only Ming Yuexin, but almost every disciple present there felt it when they heard Xia Yuqing''s words.


    " It''s true that our strength has recovered a lot. However, we should not go around and unt it like that." Long Ming turned around and spoke in a reasonable voice.


    " After all, Dering such a thing would make our enemies alert and more prepared. And don''t forget, our enemies are not only in light, but some of those pests are still hiding in darkness."


    " Don''t you guys know?" A smile appeared on Long Ming''s face. " Eating a tiger while pretending to be a pig, it''s the most fun thing to do, right?"


    " As expected of Senior Brother."


    " Indeed, He is very proficient in that game."


    " I really hate that trait in him, you know?" Luo Yingying sighed. " He always appears ordinary, Only to facep us in our own domain."


    " I second that, Sister Luo."


    " I third that!"


    " ¡­+99"


    Long Ming''s face darkened when he heard that. " Hmph, So that''s what you think about your senior brother, huh?"


    " Is it not true though?" Ming Yuexin mumbled.


    " Sister Ming, You too?"


    Meng Zhi giggled when she saw the situation. " My, My¡­ I guess all have reached amon conclusion, huh?"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but get depressed when he heard Meng Zhi. Xia Yuqing waved her hands. " Everyone, Silence."


    " The Battle Tournament is our top priority right now. Each sect has three special tokens. Which means three people from each sect can go to the mainpetition directly."


    " So, I am thinking of sending Mu Qinglian, Ming Yuexin, and Long Ming as our three seed disciples."


    [ Ding! A genius should never take any shortcuts! A new quest activated!]


    [ Win the Battle Tournament and get the first prize!]


    [ Reward: 1X Star tinum Grade Chest!]


    [ Failure: Retrieving the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques and Comprehension of Ancient Runic Words!]


    Long Ming couldn''t help but give a middle finger to the sky. Why can''t he just take a shortcut, huh? Why must he go through all the boring trials?


    Sighing, Long Ming looked at Xia Yuqing, " I have a small request."


    " Hm? Speak, What is it?"


    " I don''t want to participate as a seed disciple." Long Ming looked at Xia Yuqing as he spoke. " I want to go through the trial like normal disciples and reach the mainpetition."


    Everyone became stunned for a moment as they looked at each other. And after that, the gossip began once again.


    " Look, Didn''t I tell you? Senior Brother always pretends weak to devour the strong."


    " Tsk, Look at him, He just denied it so badly a moment before. But now he is asking to join the trailpetition."


    " As expected of our Senior Brother, He would rather ept hardship overfort."


    Long Ming rubbed his face out of frustration as he heard the giggles of the girls around him.


    " I see, You want to go above step by step, huh?" Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she fell into thought for a moment. " Well, I guess that''s also good foryou."


    " The trials of the Battle Tournament will make your techniques andprehension more polished than before." Xia Yuqing nodded. " Besides, You will be able to take care of our remaining disciples in the trials."


    Everyone was stunned when they heard thest line as their eyes shone.


    Indeed, If Long Ming remained with the other disciples, he would easily boost their morale. Not to mention, if other sects or the Imperial Family dared to plot anything, Long Ming would be able to crush them with ease.


    Besides, Why would they not want to have their handsome senior brother protect them? The disciples are very eager to do so.


    " Alright, The meeting is dismissed. Everyone who came with from the sect, go back and take rest properly. Tomorrow is an important day, so I hope everyone do their best."


    " Long Ming, Mu Qinglian, Ming Yuexin, Stay with me. I have something else to talk with you."


    As everyone left. Xia Yuqing looked at the three of them. " With recent gains, we truly mightpete for the top ten ces in the Battle Tournament. Therefore, I would like you guys to not hold back anymore."


    " Ming Yuexin, This is called Wind Chasing Spiriy Boots. It''s an Innate type Noble grade treasure that will increase you speed by two times. Not to mention, it will also help you to increase your attack speed and your dodging ability."


    " Mu Qinglian, You already have Empress Winter Song''s Frozen Flower Sword. But other than that, Keep this bracelet with you." Xia Yuqing handed a bracelet to Mu Qinglian.


    " This is the Cold Moon Imperial Bracelet something worn by Empress Winter Song even after she became Heavenly Emperor. Therefore, it''s a powerful Blessed Imperial Treasure."


    " If any moment of crisis rises, you can use it to defend yourself against it. Besides, wearing it will naturally increase your power andprehension of Deste Winter Sword Art and Intent of Ice."


    Atst, Xia Yuqing''s gaze fell on Long Ming. " Long Ming, I give you the choice to pick the treasures of your desire. Even if you brought two Blessed Imperial Treasures which had full power, along with several Royal grade weaponsst time, you didn''t pick any of them."


    " However, I insist you pick some decent treasures this time. Don''t worry, We can afford it now." Xia Yuqing smiled lightly.


    " Is that so?" Long Ming became amused as he looked at her. " Then give me some sort of powerful resources, rather than a weapon. I want something that can improve my strength."


    " Then take this. This is Luminous Lightning Orb, A Noble grade treasure of Aquired Type. Not only it can improve Lightning type cultivation, you can even use it as an offensive weapon."


    " But still, I don''t think that''s enough." Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming. " Don''t you need anything else?"


    " Something else, huh?" A grin appeared on Long Ming''s face as he nced at Xia Yuqing. " I just hope Master would give me a promise as reward."


    " A promise? What is it?"


    " That''s¡­Something I will ask after winning the tournament." Suddenly, Xia Yuqing''s heart thumped as she remembered the night of the massage. Two rosey clouds rose in her cheek as she shook her head. " I¡­Let''s see about that."


    Meng Zhi grinned as she realized the situation. But other than her, none could see through the situation.


    " Very well, Master. I shall go and cultivate then." Long Ming bowed and took the Luminous Lightning Orb.


    As he entered the room, he suddenly felt a strange attraction of his Raging Storm Wings for the Luminous Lightning Pearl.


    " You want to eat this?"

 Chapter 208 Battle Tournament Begins!

    <h4>Chapter 208 Battle Tournament Begins!</h4>


    Long Ming was surprised as he activated his Nether Dragon Voild Devouring Physique. The powerful devouring force erupted around his body as an illusory pitch ck dragon roamed around his body.


    Opening its mouth, the dragon started to absorb the powerful lightning qi from the Luminous Lightning Pearl. The pearl shone with a bright light as the crackling lightning concentrated around Long Ming''s body.


    Long Ming could feel the power of the lightning arcs. However, the Tribtion Lightning qi in his body erupted, suppressing the lightning qi of Luminous Lightning Pearl.


    It was like a powerful thug suddenly meeting the boss of the underworld, making him get on his knees instantly, Although the amount of Tribtion Lightning qi inside Long Ming''s body, the aura was enough to suppress the powerful flow of Luminous Lightning Pearl.


    Suddenly, the Raging Storm Wings behind Long Ming unfurled with as the lightning qi flowed into it. Long Ming felt the Raging Storm Wing bing more and more integrated with him as it absorbed the lightning qi rapidly, like a thirsty person drinking water.


    The lightning qi inside the Luminious Lightning Pearl was very powerful and berserk, making ordinary cultivators absorb the entirety of its energy. However, Long Ming was doing it with ease as he fed it to the Raging Storm Wing.


    It was unknown how much time had passed, but the Luminous Lightning Pearl in Long Ming''s hand became very dim while his Raging Storm Wings were imbued with crackling arcs of multi colored lightning and storm winds.


    Long Ming felt the wings were now firmly attached to his body like his own wings. Not to mention, after absorbing so much lightning qi, a new ability of Raging Storm Wing was unlocked.


    '' The elemental resistance against lightning and wind type attacks increased significantly. Not to mention, if I use this with Rushing Lightning Steps, the wings can turn into sharp thundercloud swords, attacking enemies with the powerful force of wind and lightning.


    Two balls of lightning condensed in Long Ming''s palm as he started fuse andpress them more and more. In the end, there was a bolt of lightning remained in his hands, crackling with dense white arcs of lightning.


    " Not bad, This looks like Zeus''s lightning bolt." Long Ming wondered how he could make this even more aesthetically pleasant. However, he shook his head and made the lightning vanish.


    " I should go and take some rest. After all, Tomorrow is a big day."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    The entire Holy Qilin City was bubbling with excitement as fireworks burst in the sky, marking the beginning of the Battle Tournament of Holy Qilin Empire.


    There were various locations of testing. The first location was the field of Imperial Academy, which was packed with crowd.


    Thanks to the price of the ticket, the Imperial Family truly amassed years worth of spirit stones in a single day. After all, if you want to see some entertainment, why not pay the ticket to watch it?


    With Xia Yuqing leading the front, Long Ming and other disciples of Four Seasons Valley walked inside the Imperial Academy.


    For the powerful sects and ancient families, there was a special ce reserved to watch the event.


    As Xia Yuqing and the Four Seasons Valley arrived there, Long Ming could feel the gazes of many falling on them.


    Some were curious, some indifferent and some were full of hatred and jealousy. However, Xia Yuqing''s face remained tranquil and calm, like an icy pool of water.


    " Haha, It''s been a while since I met Sect Master Xia. You look pretty and sharp as usual." A middle aged man wearing a fiery red robe walked forward as he spoke with aughing voice.


    Looking at the man, Long Ming felt like he was gazing at a naked sword, sharp and unbridled. The middled aged man felt Long Ming''s gaze and looked at him with a light smirk.


    Long Ming felt a sharp sensation, as someone pushed into a sharp grinder full of swords. However, thanks to his Immovable Will, the effect was simply minimal. It didn''t even make him flinch as he looked back at the man.


    " Haha! You must be Long Ming, Huh? That brat Ling Yuan rarely praises anyone. Yet he praised your swordprehension."


    " Not bad, There is someone else after Mu Qinglian after all."


    The man was none other than the Sect Master of Six Sword Pavilion. With Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could feel that Sect Master Xu Xenzi already reached a deep level of Sword Heart Realm. Even if he hides all his aura, Long Ming could feel the power of his swordprehension.


    '' It looks like he already reached the High stage of Nine Transformations of Soul Realm. If he and Xia Yuqing fights, Xu Xenzi might have an upper hand.''


    However, That''s merely Long Ming''s spections. After all, He never saw Xia Yuqing''s full power. The only time she used her power was when she dealt with Liang Yao.


    As everyone greeted each other, Meng Zhi couldn''t help but take this chance and make a jab at Blissful Heaven Temple.


    " Well? Why do I feel Blissful Heaven Temple brought so less disciples?" Meng Zhi couldn''t help but put on a surprised expression.


    " Could it be¡­The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple don''t have enough talent to appear here?"


    " And what about The Green Cloud Mountain?"


    The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain seethed with anger when they heard Meng Zhi''s mocking.


    " Elder Meng, Quantity doesn''t mean anything." The Sect Master of Blissful Heaven Temple was a beautiful woman. However, when Long Ming looked at her, he didn''t even bat an eye at her allure.


    The first sentence that came to his mind after seeing her was: Thotty Bitch who would do anything to achieve her goal.


    " No matter how much trash you gather, they will still remain trash."


    " Well, I believe the trashes are the ones who died in the Azure Sun Secret Realm." Meng Zhi retorted instantly, making the Sect Master of Blissful Temple livid instantly.


    Meanwhile, the old man who was the Sect Master of Green Cloud Valley remained seated in his position, ncing at the Four Seasons Valley coldly.


    Xia Yuqing greeted everyone politely with some small talk. Meanwhile, the cat fighting was elegantly done by Meng Zhi.


    But then, everyone became silent as they saw a pair of blue and red qilin soaring as a loud roar made everyone shiver in awe and excitement.


    " Everyone! The Emperor of the Holy Qilin Empire is arriving!"


    Long Ming''s eyes widened as he looked at the extravagant scene before him. Suddenly, a powerful aura spread across the area as a golden carriage appeared in the sky.


    '' Finally, Let me see what kind of person the Emperor is.''

 Chapter 209 First Round: Illusion Palace

    Chapter 209 First Round: Illusion Pce


    The imposing aura of the qilin fell on everyone''s bodies as they toward the top balcony. A man wearing a regal robe with patterns of a crimson qilin riding blue clouds appeared there, making the world tremble beneath his gaze.


    With Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see a gigantic ancient seal with a pattern of golden qilin appearing above him.


    As Long Ming''s gaze fell on the seal, he felt the golden qilin watching him back. The gaze was sharper than any sword, and more imposing than any beast. Long Ming felt his eyes stinging from the pressure, yet his Immovable Will along with his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique became activated, making the pressure null instantly.


    '' So, That''s the Emperor of the Holy Qilin Empire. He condensed the fortune of the entire Holy Qilin Dynasty into a national seal. Even if a Dao Refining Cutivator attacks, the Emperor can easily defeat him within the Holy Qilin City.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    After all, Emperors are called the sons of heaven. They shoulder the heavenlyws and rule over thend. They also carries the fortune of thend along with the burden of the rules.


    However, the effects in this immortal world are even more advantageous for the emperors. And the prime example is the Emperor of the Holy Qilin Empire.


    Everyone there became silent the moment the Emperor appeared. Looking at the crowd, the Emperor''s voice boomed.


    " I am d to see that so many people havee to see this year''s Battle Tournament."


    " I hope everyone here learns some new things and gets enlightened. Regardless of sect and families, I hope all of you stay united and serve the Holy Qilin Empire with all your heart."


    " Let the Battle Tournament begin!"


    His voice boomed as the sky exploded with various fireworks, making everyone''s adrenaline rush. All the hot blooded younger generation felt a rush to make their name shine in this Battle Tournament.


    After the Emperor sat on his throne, a person walked out wearing a bright robe and his voice echoed.


    " Everyone, Wee to our Battle Tournament. I am Wei Heizhu, The Great Minister of the Holy Qilin Empire."


    " As you know, This is the Trial Session. Each of you must undergo various trials to be able to participate in the main event of Battle Tournament."


    " First is called the Illusion Sky Pce. The trial is simple." Wei Zhouughed lightly. " The test is simple. All you need to do is to pass through this illusion and get outside of the pce."


    " You only have two incense sticks worth of time."


    The huge young crowd gathered in the field as they could see an array of bronze pirs before them. Suddenly, The bronze pirs shone with blinding lights as light projected a huge ancient pce before them.


    Soon, the pce became corporeal, as if it was constructed right before them in a few breaths of time. It was a hexagonal pce with six entrances around it. Long Ming stood with his group of Four Seasons Valley. With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see theplete in and out of the pce as if he were looking at a clear pond of water.


    However, for others, it was a mystical pce, covered with a strange mist, blocking their divine senses.


    " Senior Brother, What do you say?" Luo Yingying chuckled. " Should we make apetition between us, to see who can cross through this pce faster?"


    " Want to bet with me?" Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as a smile appeared on his face. " Sister Yingying became bolder than before, ah."


    " Hmph, I have achieved many breakthroughs in my dao of runes. You just see how I am going to defeat you this time." Luo Yingying blushed as she retorted.


    " So, Let''s start betting, Shall we?"


    " I bet on Senior Brother Long!" Chen Yin spoke first.


    " I too." Lin Xie followed after her.


    " I am also going to bet on him."


    " +99"


    Luo Yingying''s face turned dark as she stamped her feet in anger. " You guys! We have been fellow sisters for so long! Yet you dare to cast me aside for this stinky senior brother?"


    " Well, I thought someone told us to always bet on the winning side?" Chen Yin chuckled as she looked at Luo Yingying.


    " So, You are thinking I will lose?"


    " Maybe?"


    Luo Yingying became speechless as she turned around and walked toward the illusory pce. Soon after she left, Long Ming looked at the girls as he nodded.


    " Now get serious and listen to me. The sixth, eighth, and eleventh sections of this pce are hazardous. So, be careful and avoid those ces." Long Ming looked at them and spoke.


    " I have already marked the danger spots of you guys. As for reaching outside, I am sure you guys are already trained enough."


    " Yes, Senior Brother"


    " We won''t disappoint you."


    Seeing the enthusiasm of the girls, Long Ming smiled as he turned around. With a sh, he stepped into the pce, making his surroundings shift.


    " Not bad. The illusion formation here is pretty solid, almost turning into reality." Long Ming saw the interior of the pce, which was like pristine marble.


    The decorations were beautiful, making the onlooker dazzle. It can easily make someone stop and make them look at the designs for some time. Touching the cold wall, Long Ming smiled. Although all of them felt real, everything was merely an illusion.


    Long Ming, who had Heavenly Revtion Eyes andprehended the rune of Illusion, could see the exit from the entrance already. Putting his hands behind his back, he started to walk briskly towards the exit.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Outside the pce, all the cultivators could see the inside of the pce on big water screens hovering before them. " Such a powerful illusion formation. I guess the two King rank Array Formation Master of Imperial Family helped them to make it."


    " It emits a strange pressure which suppresses the cultivation base of a cultivator. Not to mention, it restricts the divine sense."


    " Only a cultivator with a powerfulprehension and solid cultivation base can walk through the pce."


    It was like a maze inside the pce, with various hazards lurking everyone, waiting to test the participants. In one room, cultivators faced powerful demonic beasts while in another room, they faced the destructive forces of nature.


    All in all, they did their best to dy the cultivators, as the time limit of the challenge is only two incense sticks of time after all."


    " Interesting. The disciples of Six Sword Pavilions are hard handed as usual. They chose to defeat the demonic beasts and move forward."


    " Hmm, The Purple Cloud Sect is also doing very well."


    " Look, The disciple of the ancient Liu Family already crossed the middle section."


    " Eh? Are they from Four Seasons Valley?"


    Suddenly, the performance of the group of girls attracted everyone''s attention. Especially Xia Yuqing and others of Four Seasons Valley who sat outside. " Not bad! They are doing very well!"


    " Look, all of them found their ways and are about to reach the middle section."


    " Luo Yingying is pretty fast. Herprehension of runes and formations finally came in handy."


    " Wait, Where is Long Ming?"

 Chapter 210 First Round Ends

    Chapter 210 First Round Ends


    " Little brother, You are truly fast." A young woman like a fairy descended before Long Ming as she smiled at her. Showing a sealed gate, she chuckled.


    " As you can see, you have reached the exit before the time ended. So, You should take your time and choose a reward."


    " A reward, huh?" Long Ming chuckled as he looked at her. " So, what sort of reward I am getting?"


    The girl smiled as she pped her hand, making a giant shelf appear out of nowhere. " There are the treasures you can choose from."


    " This is zing Lava Sword, A powerful Noble grade weapon which is full of me attribute energy."


    " And this is Jade Silk Armor, It can easily defend against attack from a Harmonization Realm cultivator as long as you keep providing energy."


    " However, you should take your time and choose carefully. It''s not like we arecking any treasures."


    Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at the woman. " However, I am interested in something else, something other than these treasures."


    " Oh? And what''s that?" The woman asked with a grin. " What is the thing you desire?"


    Long Mingughed nefariously as he stretched out his arm, holding the waist of the woman as he tried to strip her clothes. The woman kissed Long Minga she didn''t resist. But strange enough, after stripping the clothes, she looked less alluring.


    Sighing deeply, Long Ming pushed her away. " These array formation masters¡­Why do they do such half ass work? If you want to put an illusion of seduction, at least make the girl sexy."


    " Tch, What can I expect from hundred year old geezers anyway? It''s a pity to see such ack of imagination." Long Ming sighed as he moved and waved his hand. Suddenly, the shelves filled with treasures, the luxurious room, the beautiful woman, everything vanished like smoke. Walking to a nearby wall, Lon Ming raised his fist as he punched the wall.


    *BOOOOM*


    With a loud crack, the wall exploded, showing a pitch ck portal. It gave off an eerie feeling as if something dangerous was lurking beyond the portal. However, Long Ming stepped into it without any concern.


    The moment he stepped into it, the pce vanished as warning sunlight caressed his face. Looking at the bright sky and cheering crowd, Long Ming stretched his arms leisurely.


    " Did Ie out too early? I tried to take my time beforeing out though?"


    Suddenly, the crowd became silent as they gazed at Long Ming. Long Ming was also startled as he looked at the burning incense stick.


    " Whaaaat? It''s not even one incense stick of time passed?" Long Ming was dumbfounded as he finally understood the reason why everyone gave him a strange nce.


    However, seeing the big screens outside, Long Ming''s face darkened. '' Wait, Could it be¡­"


    With a shrunken neck, he looked at where Xia Yuqing was sitting. Although she sat with a calm exterior, Long Ming could feel the gaze filled with coldness.


    Wei Zhu who was administrating the test looked at Long Ming with a smile and amazement. " Haha, Very good! You are the first one toe out from the illusion pce. What''s your name?"


    " Long Ming, from Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming cupped his fist as he bowed lightly. " Well, Since I have cleared the test, shall I go and take some rest?"


    " Indeed, You are free to go." Wei Zhu paused for a moment before nodding. Long Ming jumped as he went straight to the camp of Four Seasons Valley.


    " Well, I have to admit. Little Brother Long is a¡­Romantic person." Meng Zhi chuckled as she looked at Long Ming. " You weren''t tempted by treasure yet courted the girl¡­"


    Long Ming chuckled," Well, She isn''t as beautiful as Elder Meng or Master. I was just ying with it because I knew it was an illusion."


    " Hmph, No need to hide that ckened heart of yours. I know what kind of rebellious disciple you are." Xia Yuqing snorted lightly as she heard Long Ming''s exnation.


    " Of course, Master knows." Long Ming gave a sly smile. " As long as Master wishes, this disciple is ready offer his service once again."


    Hearing Long Ming''s words, Xia Yuqing''s body trembled lightly as rosy clouds appeared on her cheeks, making her nce at Long Ming fiercely. Meng Zhi pretended to not understand anything. Thankfully, Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian weren''t there. Else Long Ming had to wreck his brain to think the ways to appease them. Not after long, A young man jumped out from the array formation as he looked around.


    " Haha, I guess I am first."


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows as he realized he knew this young man. He was none other than Han Cheng, the disciple of Heavenly Cloud Garden of Central Province. Han Cheng got the first prize in the Wine Gathering of the Ancient Liu Family. Not to mention, Since a month had passed, Long Ming could see the obvious growth in his cultivation.


    '' He already reached the Harmonization Realm, Huh? Not to mention, It''s possible that his Royal Grade Dark Sky Demon Ape bloodline already achieved a breakthrough. In terms of strength, he might be able to match Mu Qinglian''s strength.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    Han Cheng looked around with a smile. However, his face became surprised as he saw the glowing name of Long Ming on the board.


    " Wait, Someone already came out of the pce even before me?"


    Han Cheng was shocked as he looked at Long Ming''s name. With a thoughtful smile, he nodded and returned to his ce after reporting his name.


    Meanwhile, The crowd was going crazy as they saw Han Cheng.


    " Could it be the illusion pce is really easy? It''s not even half of the time passed yet two young men already came out."


    " Hmm, Maybe they decreased this year''s difficulty?"


    "Let''s see."


    Soon, Two more cultivation walked out from the formation. Their dazzling robes made everyone gaze at them.


    " Look, He is Xuan Haoyi of Holy Qilin Imperial Academy. I heard he is the grandson of Grand Preceptor of the Holy Qilin Empire."


    " As for the second person¡­"


    " Sky Martial Tower! He is Lao Gang, Core Disciple of Sky Martial Tower."


    " Heh, It looks like Holy Qilin Imperial Academy increased its standard this year, eh?" Lao Gangughed as he looked at Xuan Haoyi. " However, I was a breath faster than you, you know?"


    " That doesn''t matter." Xuan Haoyi shook his head calmly as he looked at the leaderboard. " There is no point as two people have already beaten us."


    Lao Gang''s expression changed as he looked at the board. The shining names of Long Ming and Han Cheng made him frown.


    " Damn it, Who are these guys? How can they be faster than me?" Lang Gang snorted as he reported his name and walked away.


    Looking at Lao Gang, Lomingmitted the uniform of Sky Martial Twer in his heart. '' If I ever see them in the future, I will simply beat them. Yeah, That''s right.'' Long Ming nodded with a smile.


    Surprisingly, Three people came out next, and Luo Yingying was one of them. " Damn it, Thest phase was so hard. It took too much of my time."


    " Eh? Senior Brother is first?" Luo Yingying was stunned as she saw the shining name of Long Ming.


    " It''s not fair!" She stomped her feet angrily. " I taught him the runic art. How could he do better than me who has been studying it for years?"


    But she was naturally happy to see Long Ming taking the first ce. Not long after, more and more disciples came out.


    " Look! So many of the Four Seasons Valley''s disciples came out. I don''t think they faced much of difficulties."


    " Indeed, Out of other sects of the Holy Qilin Empire, only the Holy Qilin Imperial Academy and Six Swords Pavilion could contend the Four Seasons Valley in thispetition."


    " To think Four Seasons Valley strengthened back their sect so much."


    Everyone from Four Seasons Valley came out not long after Lu Yingying. Before the time ended, most disciples of major sects passed through the trial. However, those who are from small families, sects, or rouge cultivators had a hard time in the test. " Alright, The time has ended." Wei Heizhu''s voice echoed as the pce vanished.


    " Those who couldn''te outside the pce are disqualified."

 Chapter 211 Powerful Qilin Statue

    <h4>Chapter 211 Powerful Qilin Statue</h4>


    " Tsk, I thought Blissful Heaven Temple was well versed in spiritual techniques. So, The first test would been pretty easy for them." Meng Zhi chuckled.


    " But s, I am a bit unsatisfied by their performance." She shook her head. " But don''t worry, I am sure they will do better in the next test."


    Blissful Heaven Temple''s elders boiled with rage when they heard Meng Zhi''s taunts. Long Ming couldn''t help but give her a thumbs up.


    Meng Zhi was truly a great poker. After elegantly caressing, she can instantly deliver a tight p, making the victim confused about what actually happened.


    " Meng Zhi, That''s alright." Xia Yuqing waved her hands, making Meng Zhi stop.


    " After all, You can''t me everything on the disciples. If the lower beam rots, the upper beam will be crooked."


    Meng Zhi originally clicked her tongue when she felt Xia Yuqing was stopping her so early. However, she never expected that she would add extra salt to their burn.


    '' Heh, It looks like Big Sister has been really pissed by the Blissful Heaven Temple through the years. She finally releases her anger.'' Meng Zhi chuckled in her heart.


    The disciples of Four Seasons Valley returned to their spots and surrounded Long Ming.


    " Brother Long, You are really great!"


    " Yeah! We just avoided the dangerous spots as you mentioned. After that, Our path became very easy!"


    Luo Yingying was shocked as she looked at Long Ming. " Senior Brother, You told them the correct pathway? Why? Why didn''t you tell me too?"


    Long Ming snorted as he looked at Luo Yingying. " Sister Yingying, You are someone who is proficient in runes and formations. This test was a test especially for you. If you can''t even pass this, won''t your study and talent would go in vain?"


    " B-But!"


    Luo Yinying stomped her feet as she pouted. She could understand Long Ming''s intention to make her grow further. However, it still irked her that all of her sisters got some support from Long Ming but not her.


    " Hehe, As expected of you, Senior Brother!"


    Long Ming stumbled as Ming Yuexin jumped at him, hugging him tightly. " To think you will get a perfect score and be the top. I am so proud of you."


    " Sister Ming, You might choke him if you hug him tight like that." Mu Qinglian''s voice drifted out as she stood far, gazing at Long Ming with a calm gaze.


    " Oh, believe me, Qinglian. Senior Brother''s body is much tougher and more robust than you think." Ming Yuexin clicked her tongue, a strange undertone behind her words.


    " Huh? What do you mean by that?"


    " Nothing, Nothing at all." Ming Yuexin grinned as she let go of Long Ming. Meng Zhi rubbed her chin as she could understand some subtleties. However, with a light smile, she remained silent.


    Long Ming enjoyed the atmosphere. However, he felt a hostile gaze as he turned around his head. He felt the gaze was simply concealed well, and even his Heavenly Revtion Eyes had difficulties noticing it.


    However, his lips curled as an idea came to his mind.


    '' Rtionship window, Open!'' Long Ming used the gift he received from Harem King of Nine World as a pink colored screen appeared before him.


    Long Ming leisurely scrolled down to look at his hostile rtionship.


    The heart of a human is deeper than the darkest abyss. Even most experienced people might fall for a fake smile or a cry for help.


    However, in this treacherous world, the Rtionship Window was a great filter, which gave Long Ming the ability to gauge the inner thoughts of others.


    '' Oh, Look at this. Who are these guys anyway?''


    Long Ming recognized a name, which was Lao Gang. He was the disciple of Sky Martial Tower with 40 points of favorability (Dislike). Next to him the names of Shu Gongyan and Shu Changyan, all of them were in favorability of 30 (Hate)


    Thenes the name of?Zhang Li with 25 points of favorability. The lowest was Li Shuimei and Qing Muxiao with 20 points if favorability (Killing Intent).


    Long Ming didn''t know anyone other than Lao Gang. He couldn''t understand why so many people were hating him out of nowhere?


    " Sister Meng, I have some questions for you." Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi.


    " What is it, Little Brother Long?" Meng Zhi smiled.


    " Shu Changyan, Shu Gongyan, Zhang Li, Li Shuimei, and Qing Muxiao, Does any of these names ring a bell?"


    Meng Zhi was taken aback when she heard the names. " Oh my, You know them? Hmm, Let me tell you then."


    " Shu Gongyan and Shu Changyan are the two saint children of Sky Martial Tower who already reached the Harmonization Realm. As for Zheng Li, he is the Grand Elder of Sky Martial Tower."


    " Heh, No wonder." Long Ming couldn''t help but give a ridiculing smile. He even doubted that any of them ever heard of his name before today. Yet, just being the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley made his name on their hit list.


    " As for Li Shuimei and Qing Xiaomu." Xia Yuqing interrupted Meng Zhi. " Li Shumei is the Sect Master of Blissful Heaven Temple, and Qing Xiaomu is the Sect Master of Green Cloud Mountain.


    " I see." Long Ming finally understood the reason for hate. After all, if Four Seasons Valley increases its strength, it''s natural that its enemy will hate it.


    And Long Ming was the center of attention of Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming would also going to shoulder all the hate.


    However, it was the Battle Tournament and Long Ming knew that none of them would going to make any move. However, using their disciples to harm Four Seasons Valley disciples was possible.


    " Saint child, huh?" Mu Qinglian snorted. " So what if they had reached the Harmonization Realm? If any of them dared to pull some tricks, I will simply crush them."


    " Hehe, As expected of Senior Sister." Long Ming gave her a thumbs up. " Please crush all our enemies."


    " If I do all the work, Then what are you going to do?"


    " I will cheer you from behind, of course." Long Ming answered seriously.


    Everyone became silent as they gazed at Long Ming with a strange expression.


    Soon after, the second test of the trial tournament began. In the illusion pce test, more than half of the participants were disqualified. However, the second test was even more brutal.


    A statue of a crimson qilin was dragged forward and ced at the center of the field. There were various chains around the statue. What''s more, the statue looked so lifelike, it was like a qilin burning with crimson mes while the chains were keeping it sealed in its ce.


    " This is one of the sacred statues of me qilin, which was left behind by the ancestors of the Holy Qilin Imperial Family."


    " It was said that the statue contains the blood of a true heavenly qilin, which ispared to a peak of Grand Heaven Ascension Realm powerhouse."


    Wei Heizhu''s words ignited everyone''s curiosity as they gazed at the Qilin statue. After all, the blood of a true qilin is a powerful and precious treasure that can even make Ancient Lord Realm cultivators salivate.


    " As you know, the bloodline of a true qilin is very powerful. Therefore, the next test is about the solid cultivation base and endurance."

 Chapter 212 Secret of Statue

    <h4>Chapter 212 Secret of Statue</h4>


    " After the chains are undone, the entire area will covered by the powerful suppressive force of this statue. There are ten rings around this circle." Wei Heizhu gave a mysterious smile.


    " As long as you manage to cross the third ring, you will be qualified to participate in the Battle Tournament."


    As everyone gathered around the statue, all of them looked at it with awe. They are around five hundred meters away from the statue as the chains are unlocked.


    Suddenly, a blood colored aura erupted from the statue as it covered the radius of the five hundred meters like a blood dome. Everyone felt a powerful pressure weight down on them as if they entered a bloody quagmire.


    Some with low cultivation bases couldn''t even stand up and fell on their knees. After all, before the aura of a divine beast, how many can remain standing.


    However, those geniuses of other sects clenched their teeth in excitement as they started to walk forward.


    After all, not onlt this is a chance to prove their superiority, it can even help to increase their cultivation base and solidify their foundation.


    The girls of Four Seasons Valley gathered at a ce as they looked at each other with determination. " Let''s go! Everyone should remember our training in Southern Green Mountain. Before the pressure of Senior Brother''s auram this pressure it nothing!"


    " Go! Go! Move forward!"


    Meanwhile, Long Ming stood there with a dumbfounded face as the bloodline pressure enveloped his body.


    " Wait, How is this possible?" Long Ming looked at his body with a strange gaze.


    However, everyone elese couldn''t help but look at him with some shock.


    " Hey look! He is standing there silently!"


    " Could it be, He is so scared that he couldn''t even move?"


    The Green Cloud Mountain and Blissful Heaven Temple disciples started to gloat as they saw Long Ming.


    Long Ming stood in the peripheral area, where the pressure from the qilin statue was minimal.


    However, he couldn''t even feel the minimal pressure as his Deste Immortal Aura was covering his body with a faint glow. It was like a heavenly lotus in a pond of mud.


    The sacredness of the lotus couldn''t be tainted by the mud no matter what. Just like that, the subtle aura and grandeur of Deste Immortal Aura made the blood of a true qilin pale inparison.


    Long Ming smiled wryly as he felt he could easily reach the statue if he kept using his Deste Immortal Aura.


    '' But now, Why not I take advantage of it for a bit?''


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as Long Ming used his Temporal Fate Simtion Technique. Looking at the statue, Long Ming looked at its distant past with a hint of curiosity.


    The surroundings faded as Long Ming felt like he was flying in the sky. The rosy clouds soared as he heard a deafening roar.


    Turning around his head, Long Ming noticed the clouds suddenlybusting as a gigantic figure rushed through it.


    " Haha, Beast, Either be my mount or be my dish!"


    " Bastard! Emperor Taozhu you bastard!" The ming qilin soared amidst the ming sky as it tried to escape.


    " You think you can do anything because you became the Heavenly Emperor? Our me Qilin n won''t let you go!"


    " Shut up! You wench!" A human figure appeared in the sky as he wore a powerful battle armor, covered with pulsing blue rays which made thew of Heaven and Earth tremble.


    Suddenly, he raised his hands as the clouds churned around him. The Grand Dao of heaven and earth resonated as the clouds turned into gigantic shackles, shooting at the qilin.


    The qilin roared as its scales shot out, turning into gigantic rhombus like tes, slicing the chains made of clouds.


    The scales rotated with a sharpness that could cleave the mountains smoothly like knives. However, as the scales reached the body of Emperor Taozhu, he merely raised his hands as a jade ruler appeared in his hands.


    " Jade Sky Break!"


    The jade ruler suddenly vanished as it was reced by a thousand mile spiraling jade field. Countless lights shed as it trapped the qilin.


    Blood sshed out as the qiling was injured by the Heavenly Emperor. However, its regeneration was simply outrageous, healing all wounds instantly.


    However, the jade lights had a strange power, making the regeneration power of the qilin slower.


    " Fine! Fine! Don''t kill me!" The Qilin roared as it looked at Emperor Taozhu.


    " I am ready to be your mount! Don''t hurt me anymore!"


    " Heh, Five hundred years ago, You bullied me so much just because I picked the True me Fruits from your garden. What about now, huh?"


    " You! You are that brat back then!" The qilin roared painfully as it gazed at Emperor Taozhu. " Fine, It''s not shameful to be the mount of a Heavenly Emperor!"


    With a deep sigh, the qilin approached Emperor Taozhu, making him brand the qilin''s forehead with his true blood.


    " Now, Transform back to your human appearance, Minyan." Emperor Taozhu gave a devious grin.


    The Qilin''s enormous body shed it transformed into a beautiful woman, with a red scale on her forehead.


    " What? Didn''t you want to make a mount?" The woman asked in a confusion.


    " Of course, I am going to mount you." Emperor Taizhu replied with a smile.


    " Then why did you ask me to transform back¡­"


    " Did I stutter?"


    " Wait a second! You-!!!!"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but give a thumbs up to Emperor Taizhu. He was truly a man of focus,mitment, and sheer fucking will.


    However, in the fight, Long Ming had a grasp of various powerful moves. With hisprehension, he learned many things from the visual. He also saw how Emperor Taizhu used the True Blood of the qilin to craft this statue.


    '' Originally, It was part of a formation. However, the way to activate the formation was lost. So, the Holy Qilin Imperial Family could only use this like this.''


    Long Ming thought inwardly.


    " Alright, Time to wake up and shine!"

 Chapter 213 Fierce Competition

    213 Fierce Competition


    " Look, Han Cheng already reached the sixthyer while others are struggling to get to the secondyer."


    " His Dark Sky Demon Ape bloodline is resisting the power of the qilin''s suppression. He is even using the suppression to refine his bloodline."


    " That''s Lao Gang, isn''t he? He already stabilized himself at the fourth ring and going to step in the fifth ring."


    Lao Gang took a deep breath as he a powerful green aura erupted from his body. Divine aura manifested around him as several jade pirs erupted, imbuing him with immense strength.


    " Is that Hundred Jade Pir Refining Art? Lao Gang already reached the Perfection stage of the technique!"


    Lao Gang gnashed his teeth as he could feel the golden jade qi flowing around his body, turning his figure into a divine being. With a humph, he took a step forward and walked closer to the statue.


    Meanwhile, Xuan Haoyi raised his hands as his entire body was covered with a ming scale.


    " Xuan Haoyi is using his me Qilin Transformation Art. It''s one of the powerful Royal grade techniques made by the ancestor of the Imperial Family."


    " Look at there! My god, How is that possible?"


    " All! All disciples of Four Seasons Valley already crossed the third ring!"


    People became shocked when they saw everyone in Four Seasons Valley cross the third ring. Although many people were excited when people like Han Cheng, Xuan Hoayi, and Lao Gang made great progress, they weren''t particrly surprised. After all, they are the chosen disciples of their respective sects.


    However, the situation of Four Seasons Valley is different. After all, the majority who were participating in this trial were ordinary disciples. However, to think where ordinary disciples of other sects are struggling, the girls of Four Seasons Valley have already crossed the passing line of the test.


    Not to mention, looking at them, although they seemed to be struggling under the pressure of the statue, they weren''t certainly at their limits.


    Xia Yuqing and Meng Zhi were stunned when they saw the situation. They knew their disciples had potential, but they didn''t know they had this much potential and determination.


    " Come on, Sisters! We must strive forward."


    " Remember, If we do better, we can ask Senior Brother to reward us!"


    " Senior Brother''s reward! Senior Brother''s praise!"


    Chen Yin and Lin Xie have their body burning with the mes of desire, negating the mes of qilin. They encouraged their fellow sisters as their cultivation technique pushed to the maximum limit.


    " But what about Senior Brother?" Luo Yingying turned around her head and saw Long Ming standing far away, in the peripheral region.


    " Don''t worry about him." Chen Yin grinned. " I guess you don''t remember what happened in the Wine Gathering?"


    Those who went to the Wine Gathering of the Liu Family became amazed as they remembered the scene of Purple Crystal Pavilion.


    " Haha, My bad, How can I forget that?"


    " Yeah, No need to worry about Senior Brother."


    " Hmph, He is pretending as always."


    Luo Yingying saw everyone''s nonchnt attitude and blind faith towards Long Ming, making her wonder even more. However, she also had faith in him, so she cleared all distracting thoughts and tried to move forward.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming finally woke up from his stupor and saw not many cultivators remained in the peripheral area.


    " Look! Isn''t that the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley?"


    " Why hasn''t he made a move?"


    " Could it be, that winning the first round was a fluke?"


    " Maybe? Otherwise why he would stay at the same ce, dozing off like that?"


    Long Ming''s face twitched as he could hear the discussion of the crowd. '' These bastards, They are just waiting for a good show, aren''t they?''


    Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his Deste Immortal Aura as he walked forward. Soon, he could feel the fiery suppressing force of Qilin Statue as he moved forward.


    However, he felt a strange feeling as the aura of the statue started to gather in his body. His Azure me Royal body activated, absorbing the surrounding pressure more and more.


    '' This¡­I see. The true blood of the ancient qilin is still potent. I can use this aura and temper my Azure me Royal Body.'' An idea came into his mind as he walked forward.


    '' No, Too low. The pressure is too low.'' Long Ming shook his head as he walked forward at a brisk pace.


    " Look! He has started to move!"


    " Not bad, He already crossed the first ring."


    " Whoa? He crossed the second ring?"


    " Th-Third ring?"


    The crowd slowly became silent as Long Ming lightly jogged forward, tasting the increase of the pressure from the statue. The Azure me Royal Body erupted with its full might as Long Ming increased his pace.


    However, he didn''t notice the silence of the crowd as he sped up his movements. " He¡­He crossed the fourth ring. How is that possible?"


    " Is he carrying some sort of treasure to negate the aura?"


    Those from the Imperial Family were shocked when they looked at the scene.


    The statue was intimately linked with their own bloodline. So they knew how powerful the bloodline pressure of it. Even the Harmonization Realm cultivator would have difficulties walking toward the statue during its full power.


    However, Long Ming walked through the rings like a fish in water, barely affected by it.


    While Lao Gang and Xuan Haoyi were struggling, they suddenly saw a figure going past them gracefully.


    " Huh? Wh-Who is that?"


    Xuan Haoyi staggered, almost getting pushed back by the tidal wave of pressure. However, he could see Long Ming was enjoying the pressure as he moved forward very fast.


    '' He, He is refining the bloodline pressure and tempering his body?'' Xuan Haoyi''s eyelid shrunk as he looked at Long Ming.


    He knew how difficult and dangerous the process was, even though the reward was paramount. While he was fending off the pressure, Long Ming was using it for his own gain, making him feel jealous.


    " That bastard! Damn it!" Lao Gang saw Long Ming as he gnashed his teeth. However, he felt it was exceedingly hard to cross the sixth ring.


    " Hm?"


    Han Cheng looked beside him and saw Long Ming standing there with a calm face. However, the swirling energy of qilin around him made Han Cheng shocked and curious.


    " Is fellow brother from the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Empire?" He couldn''t help but ask in a curious voice. " You have a certain amount of control over the fiery energy of true blood of ancient qilin."


    " Well, Not really. I am Long Ming, True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming smiled.


    " Long Ming¡­ You won first ce in the Illusion Pce round, right?"


    " Brother is wise." Long Ming grinned as he stepped forward, throwing Han Cheng behind. " Brother Han, better follow me or you will be far behind."


    A surge of fighting power spread in Han Cheng as he pushed his limits and rushed forward, chasing Long Ming.


    Long Ming didn''t stop as he almost reached near the Qilin Statue. Looking at the burning statue, he could hear the low roars of the divine beast.


    ''Alright, Time to devour the power of true blood.''


    " Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique! Appear!'' Long Ming took a deep breath as he looked at the statue.

 Chapter 214 Trying to Make Trouble

    214 Trying to Make Trouble


    Han Cheng''s bloodline exploded forth as a dark luster covered his muscles. Slowly, his body expanded, making him covered with a ferocious aura. The air around him rumbled as an illusory figure a gigantic demonic ape appeared behind him.


    " Look! Han Cheng is using his bloodline power!"


    " His speed also increased!! He almost reached the eight ring."


    " However, He is still far behind from Long Ming. He was about to touch the statue now."


    Han Cheng clenched his fist as he looked at Long Ming with apetitive spirit. However, Long Ming had already reached the qilin statue as he activated his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    The slumbering shadow dragon awoke as it opened its mouth. The qilin statue exploded with a crimson overflowing light as if a torrent of blood qi fell on Long Ming''s body.


    Suddenly, everyone who was participating in the trial felt the intensity of the statute increase, making their difficulty level heighten.


    " Wh-What''s happening?"


    " Damn it! How did the pressure increase so much."


    The cries of participants echoed through the arena. However, none of it affected Long Ming.


    The powerful aura of Qilin''s statue was like a downpour on Long Ming''s body, who was using the Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique and Azure me Royal Body at the same time.


    The Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique suppressed the berserk energy of the blood qi, while the Azure me Royal body devoured the powerful me energy of qilin''s blood, refining its physique anew.


    The Emperor looked at Long Ming with a strange gaze, a part filled with surprise and curiosity. Tapping his finger on his throne, he was amused.


    " Who is he? I don''t think I heard about someone outside who can resonate with our divine bloodline so well."


    " Your Majesty, He is Long Ming, the only male True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." A middle aged man bowed as he spoke in a polite tone.


    " It''s been barely two months since his debut. Although he appeared very humble and down to earth, his appearance had caused earth shattering change in Four Seasons Valley."


    " Oh? Is that so?"


    " The Four Seasons Valley isn''t as shaky as before. Xia Yuqing has graspedplete control over the sect after the Azure Sun Secret Realm. It looks like the disciples of Four Seasons Valley got some incredible treasures from there."


    " Also¡­" The man paused. " Second Prince Qin Yong and Lady Wanxue got some connection with him. I feel Long Ming might turn into an important asset in the Second Prince''s camp."


    " Yong''er always been a strange kid." The Emperor closed his eyes. " After Qin Chen died, it looks like the fight between the princes is going to be even more heated." " Long Ming, Huh? Interesting. Let''s see the reaction of Sky Martial Tower and Blissful Heaven Temple." Meanwhile, Long Ming used the qilin blood qi to temper his Azure me Royal Body, while using theprehension of the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques to reach the pinnacle of the Minorpletion stage.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    His golden true core trembled as it was covered by a sea of azure mes. A strange sensation of flowing me inside his body made Long Ming wince in pain.


    It was like molten me was slowly refining his flesh and organs, squeezing out its pure essence out of it. As Long Ming slowlyprehended the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques in his heart, he could feel that method of cultivation and path of various new physiques were opening before him.


    The Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physique is like a catalog of every possible physique. However, since the information is too vast and profound, one had to use their ownprehension and chance encounter to understand a small part of it.


    However, after this, Long Ming came to understand various physique cultivation methods of Yang and Fire Attribute and a small part of Wood attribute physiques.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt a familiar force stirring in his body, helping him to devour the qilin''s energy.


    '' This¡­ This is a part of the bloodline I absorbed from Jiang Wanxue?'' Long Ming''s expression became odd when he saw a tiny blood qilin in his divine sea helping his cultivation.


    After all, drawing out the first blood of Jiang Wanxue, Long Ming also got his bloodline and aura thanks to his Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Arts.


    So, technically, he also carries a thin yet pure blood of the Imperial Qin Family of the Holy Qilin Empire.


    *CRACK CRACK!*


    Long Ming shuddered as he felt his true core was melting as the azure mepletely mended his internal body. Both his qi cultivation and Azure me Royal body showed the signs of breakthroughs.


    '' No, I can''t advance my cultivation. I still have the damned restriction of Infinite Star Roulette.'' Long Ming cursed in his heart. '' Besides, If I induce Minor Physique Tribtion, someone might try to disturb me.''


    '' Anyway, I have achieved my purpose here. I should stop now.'' Long Ming took a deep breath as he opened his eyes. With a grin, he sat at the feet of the statue as he looked at the other participants. Suddenly, Looking at Han Cheng, He was surprised.


    Han Cheng already reached the ninth ring, only a bit away from the center. Yet, the bloodline power of his soared to the sky like a powerful pir. Han Cheng breathed raggedly as his cultivation and bloodline showed significant improvement.


    '' Not bad, This Han Cheng is truly a heavenly genius.'' Long Ming gave him an approval inwardly as he looked behind.


    The one who did best among the Four Seasons Valley was none other than Chen Yin, who reached the sixth ring. Luo Yingying, Lin Xie, and Shui Huan all stopped at the Fifth ring. As for others, they did their best and reached the fourth ring.


    Other than Han Cheng, Xuan Haoyi and Lao Gang stopped at the eight rings, along with Ling Yuan of Six Sword Pavilion and two other unknown cultivators.


    With nking sounds, the chains covered the Qilin Statue once again, making its oppression vanish. Everyone fell to the ground out of exhaustion as they finally felt relief.


    Han Cheng wiped his sweat as he saw Long Ming sitting with a calm and tranquil expression. " Fellow Brother Long, Are you a member of the Holy Qilin Imperial family? How did you endure the power of the statue so easily?"


    " Haha, Brother Han is sure good at joking." Long Ming smiled. " If I had the bloodline of the Qin Family, I wouldn''t have participated in this round."


    " Is that so?" Han Cheng looked at Long Ming. " Brother Long is too talented. If you ever go to the central province, you will sure make a name."


    " Brother Han is ttering." Long Ming chuckled. " After all, Your Dark Sky Demonic Ape had purified further. Hehe, You are already powerful as High stage Harmonization Realm cultivator at such a young age."


    Han Cheng cupped his fist as he looked at Long Ming with apetitive spirit. " Brother Long, Let''s have a hearty fight in the main tournament. I shall be waiting for it."


    However, before Long Ming could answer, a figure lunged towards him.


    " Bastard! You are a cheater!"


    Sorry for irregr updates. I will do my best from tomorrow

 Chapter 215 Taunting The Sky Martial Tower

    <h4>Chapter 215 Taunting The Sky Martial Tower</h4>


    Long Ming''s eyes didn''t flinch as he merely smiled. He had been expecting this scene from the very beginning. All he didn''t know was when it was going to happen.


    But now, It''s finally happening.


    " Fellow Daoist Li, Is it?" Long Ming took out his signature paper fan as he looked at Li Gang. " I wonder why are you making such usations? Perhaps youck the sportsmanship and ability to ept your inability."


    " Yo-You!" Li Gang gnashed his teeth. " Hmph, It''s obvious that you don''t have any outstanding cultivation. Not to mention, the ease with which you walked through the rings is simply absurd."


    " I am sure you used some sort of treasure rted to the Imperial Family. After all, If you have the bloodline of the Qin Family, the difficulty of the trial will be lessened." Li Gang snorted.


    " So, Brother Li Gang is using the trial system of the Imperial Family?" Long Ming''s voice was loud and clear, making everyone listen to it.


    " It seems Sky Martial Sect''s disciples are very bold. They believe they can''t lose, so the problem has to be with the Imperial Family and trial system." Long Ming stood up as he spoke in a righteous voice.


    " Is this not trampling the dignity of the Qin Family? Are you trying to tarnish the reputation of the Holy Qilin Empire?"


    " Or¡­ Does Sky Martial Sect feel that the Imperial Family doesn''t wield its power from the past?"


    Not only Li Gang, but the entire arena turned silent when Long Ming''s words echoed.


    " Hmph! Ignorant brat! What are you talking about?!"


    A white beared elder snorted as an imposing aura erupted from his body. Raising his palm, it was like the entire sky was enveloped by it.


    However, Long Ming didn''t feel any pressure, nor he needed to feel it.


    Because he knew, he was absolutely safe in this ce.


    " Who dares!"


    A light and casual remark, but the entire arena quaked with a paramount strength. It was like a heavenly fiend god stamped the ground, making everyone suffocate with its aura.


    It was none other than the Emperor of Holy Qilin, who merely raised his finger.


    " Elder of the Sky Martial Tower, you have to remember the time and ce you do something."


    The Emperor spoke in a light voice, but it was enough to strike a sledgehammer into everyone''s heart.


    " Holy Qilin Empire is Qin Imperial Family''s property. Any unnecessary intrusion into this authority will be regarded as¡­ Treason."


    "


    Although we respect an Imperial Linage, we can also¡­Crush it."


    The crowd held its breath when they heard the Emperor''s words. Everyone could feel that the Emperor simply used this chance to cut off the rising influence of Sky Martial Tower easily.


    " Your Majesty, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by Li Gang. I shall fully take its responsibility."


    A voice echoed as a man floated out,nding before Li Gang. " Li Gang, Ask for forgiveness."


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he gazed at the man standing beside Li Gang. His Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as he nced at the man, trying to gauge his strength.


    The man felt Long Ming''s strength as he returned his gaze with a serene yet cold gaze. " Long Ming, is it? Four Seasons Valley does have the fortune to get someone like you after Mu Qinglian."


    " Well, Obstacles makes a true genius grow, like gold shines after getting tempered by mes." Long Ming closed his paper fan with a snap as he looked at the man.


    " Four Seasons Valley is thankful to the Sky Martial Tower to be that me."


    Long Ming spoke those words like a humble schr. However, the hidden meaning behind it made everyone stunned.


    The man was also stunned when he saw Long Ming openly criticizing their Sky Martial Tower. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Ming.


    " You have quite a sharp and eloquent tongue, Junior. Just be sure not to use it to offend you shouldn''t."


    Long Ming snorted as he felt the man was trying to use his cultivation aura to suppress him. However, in retaliation, Long Ming used his Deste Immortal Aura and Immovable Will to block the effect.


    A strange aura covered Long Ming''s body, making him look like an ethereal being. Everyone could feel a subtle connection between Long Ming with his surroundings as if he was the manifestation of nature''s force.


    The man was surprised when he saw Long Ming standing calmly, even under his pressure. However, not before like, a string of sword wind shed at him, making him retreat.


    " Elder Zheng, You shouldn''t meddle in the affairs of the junior generation." Xia Yuqing spoke coolly. " Or Are you intervening because you feel the younger generation isn''tpetent?"


    " Hahaha, Sect Master Xia sure knows how to joke. I am just giving some pointers to this young disciple." Zheng Liughed lightly as he turned around, taking Lao Gang away.


    " After all, It would be a shame if something happened to him in this tournament."


    " Hmph!" Xia Yuqing snorted when she heard the naked threat of Zheng Li.


    Wei Heizhu reappeared as he pped his hands, attracting everyone''s attention towards him.


    " Alright, Everyone. The second round has ended with many twists and turns. The first ce goes to Four Seasons Valley''s Long Ming."


    " The second ce goes to Han Cheng while the third ce goes to Ma Haoyuan of Pearl Ind."


    Long Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard the name Pearl Ind. It''s the first big city thates after crossing the Westward Bay, a part of Thousand Rings Ind.


    '' To think someone came here to participate in this tournament from that far.'' Long Ming thought inwardly. However, getting the third ce means Man Hoayuan isn''t an ordinary cultivator either.


    " Those who couldn''t reach the third ring shall be disqualified." Wei Heizhu''s voice was calm as he spoke.


    " Other than that, Those who have passed shall be given a day to rest. The day after tomorrow, the main Battle Tournament shall start."


    " Till then, Stay safe and sound."


    The crowd cheered as the trial tournament concluded. However, Long Ming didn''t waste any time as he rushed to Xia Yuqing.


    " Master, You need to help me."


    " Huh? What happened?" Xia Yuqing asked with a surprise.


    " I am about to face a Minor Physique Tribtion."


    " Right now?" Xia Yuqing''s expression turned serious as she got up. " It looks like you got quite some benefits from the qilin statue."


    " Very well, I will guard you while you face the tribtion. No one would be able to harm you." Xia Yuqing spoke in an assuring voice.


    After getting a bit outside from the inner city, Xia Yuqing saw Long Ming sitting cross legged as an azure me enveloped his body.


    '' Was it an innate physique? Or he cultivated it?'' Xia Yuiqng wondered. But suddenly, something struck in her heart.


    '' Wait a second! Wasn''t Long Ming cultivating the Great Mystic Mountain Physique? How could he cultivate another physique?!!''


    As Xia Yuqing almost got a mini heart attack, she saw crimson ck clouds rolling in the sky, covering the sky above them.


    '' A royal grade physique, huh?'' Xia Yuqing murmured as she took a few steps back as she watched Long Ming standing up and looking at the sky.


    Suddenly, lightning merged with pirs of mes descended, covering Long Mingpletely.

 Chapter 216 Xia Yuqing’s Doubts

    <h4>Chapter 216 Xia Yuqing''s Doubts</h4>


    The phenomenon attracted quite a lot attraction around the Holy Qilin City. Those who had some knowledge became curious.


    " This¡­This is a Minor Physique Tribtion of a Royal-grade Grade Physique?"


    " Who is currently undergoing the tribtion?"


    " Don''t tell me it''s one of the participants of the Battle Tournament?"


    " Damn it! I want to see who it is!"


    Xia Yuqing frowned as her aura exploded out, deterring anyone who dared to peek. Seeing Xia Yuqing''s act, many people retreated hurriedly.


    However, many weren''t afraid of Xia Yuqing, Watching the situation from afar.


    The pir of ming lightning descended, making the world rumble as a powerful heat spread across the space. Long Ming''s body trembled as he activated his Azure me Royal Body.


    His body cracked as azure mes flowed out like a strange liquid, covering his body. The ming lightning kept bombarding on his body, making Long Mong wince in pain.


    However, Long Ming gritted his teeth and persisted. After all, this pain was much less than the Minor Tribtion of Great Mystic Mountain Physique.


    His true core trembled as his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique activated. The tribtion lightning slowly absorbed by his body, arge part absorbed by his golden core which already contained Tribtion Lightning.


    And his Deste Immortal Aura also sucked the powerful aura of heaven and earth from the tribtion lightning, strengthening it from the core.


    Long Ming also channeled a small part and refined his Raging Storm Wings, gaining more insight into the Grand Dao of me and Lightning.


    All in all, Long Ming didn''t let a single arc of lightning go to waste. The tribtion cloud roared as the final round of tribtion appeared. An illusory flower of mes formed in the sky as it bloomed.


    The flower burst and the petals scattered, each turned into a sharp arrow and shot toward Long Ming.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he took out his Illusiory Lightning Bow. Using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he took a deep breath and used his Intent of Archery.


    The bow buzzed as an illusory arrow condensed from faint light and arcs of lightning.


    Long Ming shot the arrow as he used all his might in it. The arrow vanished from the bow as it turned into a streak of light of dreamy purple color. It turned into a pink flower and burst, simr to the lightning tribtion.


    The petals collided as Long Ming used his Hundred Flower Arrows to deter the lightning tribtion''s attack. The petals shed as they turned into fragments.


    Long Ming used his Azure me Royal Body and absorbed the falling fragments to stabilize his Minor Completion physique. Hours after hours passed and Long Ming finally opened his eyes.


    A burst of azure me covered his body as he got up, stretching his bodynguidly. kes of dark patches fell from his body as the mes burned slowly, like flowing water.


    With a wave of his hand, Long Ming turned the mes into a sword, a saber, a halberd, a beautiful flower.


    As he was about to draw a PP, he stopped, realizing he was outside. Looking at his body, Long Ming nodded with satisfaction. " Not bad, I can control the mes more fluidly. Not to mention, it also gained a purifying property."


    Suddenly, feeling a presence, Long Ming turned around, saw Xia Yuqing descending from the sky.?" Thank you, Master, For protecting me during the tribtion. Thanks to you, I have crossed itpletely."


    Long Ming smiled broadly as he cupped his fist before Xia Yuqing. However, Xia Yuqing stood silent, with a strange face.


    " Uhh¡­Can you¡­Wear some clothes first?"


    " Huh?"


    Long Ming paused as he lowered his gaze, looking at his body. He was stunned when he realized the tribtion mes burnt all of his clothes into ashes.


    Not to mention, his little brother was already hard with excitement, pointing toward Xia Yuqing without any scruple.


    " Wait, Mater¡­It''s not what you think. I wasn''t aroused¡­It''s from excitement¡­Uh, I mean¡­" Long Ming hurriedly spoke.


    " I said¡­Put clothes right now!"


    With the shout of Xia Yuqing, Long Ming felt a sharp sword wind cut the ground before his legs. A cold wind blew past his crotch as Long Ming hurriedly put on a robe on his body.


    " Hmph! Every time I see you, I feel like you are getting more and more brazen!" Xia Yuqing snorted lightly as she turned away, but the blush on her cheeks was still evident.


    Not to mention, even with Xia Yuqing''s snorting, Long Ming saw a string of Fragrant Yin Qiing from her body, making him stunned.


    " Well?'' Long Ming chuckled inwardly. '' Hehe, Even Master is helpless before my divine bare body.''


    " I apologize for causing such a scene, Master." Long Ming''s voice became deep as he cupped his fist.


    " How about Ipensate Master with another round of massage¡­"


    " Long¡­Ming!!!"


    Long Ming paused as he could feel the temperature dropping around them as if the northern snowy wind blew between them.


    '' Or¡­How about Ipensate Master by bringing great results in Battle Tournament?" Long Ming added instantly.


    " Hmph, That''s more like it." Xia Yuqing snorted as the sword intent around her fingers vanished. She truly wondered how she got such a perverted disciple.


    " I thought you were cultivating the Great Mystic Mountain Physique? How can you have another physique tribtion?" Xia Yuqing didn''t bother to hide her curiosity and asked directly.


    " Well, Rather than cultivating a Physique CultivationTechnique, you can say it''s a unique technique which refines both body and true qi at the same time."


    " Therefore, The tribtion lightning only looked simr to the Physique Lightning Tribtion." Long Ming spoke with a smile.


    " Is that so?"


    Xia Yuqing walked toward Long Ming with a calm gaze. " Long Ming, You have done many deeds for the Four Seasons Valley. You did your best to muster the scattered power of Four Seasons Valley and strengthened it."


    " It''s natural to have a secret or two." Xia Yuqing smiled lightly as she turned around. " I won''t inquire about it. However, You better keep the secret buried in your heart. After all, Not everyone would be as aloof as me."


    Long Ming''s heart stirred as he smiled. " Master is kind. I shall not disappoint you."


    " Besides, The p you have to the Sky Martial Tower felt too refreshing." Xia Yuqing spoke. " However, you are now under their target. The saint children of Sky Martial Tower might target you and Qinglian. So, Be safe."


    " Don''t worry, Master." Long Ming smiled viciously. " This time, Sky Martial Tower will have an unforgettable experience."


    " Is that so?" Xia Yuqing smiled. " I shall look forward to it."

 Chapter 217 Main Event Begins

    <h4>Chapter 217 Main Event Begins</h4>


    A day passed swiftly, as themencement of Battle Tournament''s main round drew near. Unlike the bustling disciples outside, Long Ming entered secluded cultivation.


    " Intent of Water, Intent of Fire, Sword Intent, and Archery Intent, All four of them reached the peak."


    " Wind, Lightning, and other elements require some push before Iprehend their Intents."


    " As for ancient runic words, I have grasped the initial powers of the Seal, Illusion, and Truth runes. As for Rune of Destruction, I still have a littlepletion in it."


    " Alright, How about this? I still have two random treasure boxes, right?" Long Ming opened his eyes as he was still sitting cross-legged.


    Opening his inventory, he picked out two Random Treasure Boxes he received from earlier missions and opened them.


    Since it was a random treasure box, the rewards were also random. There were also chances to wine Divine grade treasures. But the chances of getting shit is much higher than that.


    [ Ding! Host opened a Random Treasure Chest! Host gets a bottle of Thousand Toxin Removal Pill (White Silver Grade)]


    [ Ding! Host opened a Random Treasure Chest! Host gets an Insect Repent Talisman (Star tinum Grade)]


    [ Thousand Toxin Removal Pill: A pill made with various anti toxin herbs and demonic beast blood. It can easily detoxify various types of poisons from the body]


    [ Insect Repent Talisman: As its name implies, it can simply make insects and Reptiles retreat a minimum of a mile from the talisman]


    Long Ming''s face turned odd when he looked at the two items before him.


    The Thousand Toxin Removal Pill was naturally the best. After all, in this treacherous world, getting poisoned is moremon than one can imagine.


    Treating poison is one of the major sources of ie for Alchemists after all. So, detoxification pills are naturally rare and expensive, especially those that can cure multiple poisons.


    '' But why the hell it''s White Silver Grade treasure while my Insect Repent Talisman is Star tinum Grade?'' Long Ming had an internal meltdown when he thought about it.


    Since the bottle of pills is only of a White Silver grade, Long Ming estimated that it might be only effective Harmonization Realm cultivators at most or something like that.


    After all, the difference in quality also determines the effectiveness of the medicinal pill. As the Insect Repent Talisman is of Star tinum grade, its effectiveness is simply unquestionable.


    However, Long Ming would rather have a decent treasure of Dark Gold Grade rather than such a talisman of Star tinum Grade.


    Long Ming was already satisfied with a bottle containing five pills. The talisman was probably going to be thrown into cold storage for now.


    '' Hmm, How should I use it? Is it effective against Insect and Reptile type demonic beasts?'' Long Ming sighed as he pondered inwardly.


    After all, No matter how powerful something is, a one time use item is a one time use item, which Long Ming doesn''t like much.


    '' Anyway, With this, My preparation for the Battle Tournament is done.'' Long Ming took a breath as a chilling light shed in his eyes.


    Unless someone with some really extraordinary power appeared before Long Ming, He had the confidence to tackle most core disciples of prominent sects and families.


    Long Ming already practiced various techniques and merged them with various intents. And with just one day, Long Ming already prepared himself mentally.


    Not only him, but every one of Four Seasons Valley prepared themselves. They had the determination to give their best in the Battle Tournament, to make the name of Four Seasons Valley shine once again.


    As Long Ming emerged from his room, his sight was greeted by beautiful scenery.


    " Look! Senior Brother hase out!"


    " Senior Brother, Hurry up! The Battle Tournament is about to begin."


    Long Ming smiled as his junior fellow sisters started to swarm around him.


    But then, sensing a presence, they all gave a wide berth. Long Ming smiled as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " Greetings, Senior Sister Mu. I hope you are ready."


    " That''s something I should ask you, Long Ming." Mu Qinglian chuckled. " Are you prepared? After all, there are a lot who would try their best to hinder us."


    " Well, if an armyes, block them with a general. If floodes, block it with a dam." Long Ming smiled as his robe fluttered. Waving his paper fan lightly he walked out.


    "?No matter who tries to obstruct us, we will simply trample over them."


    " Let the world know that the imperial lineage with three Heavenly Emperors isn''t easy to bully!"


    " For the Four Seasons Valley!" Ming Yuexin shouted.


    " For the Four Seasons Valley!" Everyone shouted in unison.


    Meng Zhi smiled at Xia Yuqing when she saw the scene. " Big Sister, Do you remember when I joined the sect first? Those days were much hard and deste."


    Xia Yuqing sighed as she looked at the sky. " Indeed, We are struggling in everything, be it medicinal herbs or treasures. The only thing we had was our Scripture Pavilion, but most of high level techniques were either gone or sealed."


    " The past century waspletely dark for the Four Seasons Valley."


    " But after Mu Qinglian came, our sect slowly strengthened its back." Meng Zhi smiled. " Not to mention Long Ming, who simply made the forgotten name of our sect shine once again."


    " Haah, Sometimes I wonder if it''s simply an illusion." Xia Yuqing clenched his fist. " However, Even if it''s an illusion, I won''t let anyone break it. No matter what happens, I will protect everyone here."


    " Big Sister¡­" Meng Zhi''s voice became slightly concerned. Xia Yuqing looked at the sky.


    " Send a transmission back to the sect. Ask her to be prepared with Ancestor''s Treasure."


    " As you wish, Sect Master."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    With fireworks, the main event of the Battle Tournament began. Those who passed from Trial Rounds are now in the arena once again. Along with them stood the chosen disciples of various sects and families who directly participated in the main tournament.


    " Everyone, Have attention here." Wei Heizhu''s voice boomed as everyone looked at him. " Today, the main event of the Battle Tournament is about to begin."


    " All the participants shall draw a lot. The matching numbers shall fight every round. Those who draw an empty lot can go to the next round without fighting."


    " Therefore, Everyone, Let the eventmence!"


    Long Ming saw there were five arenas. Therefore, five fights could happen at once. The Holy Qilin Empire was efficient as usual.


    Coincidentally, All the chosen disciples of various sects including Long Ming received nk ques for the first round. Long Ming chuckled as he sat with Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin to cheer up their junior disciples.


    " Look, I guess Shui Huan got a que. Her opponent is from the Yu Family."


    Shui Huan brandished her saber as her eyes shone with a battle intent.


    " Four Seasons Valley''s Shui Huan is asking for guidance!"

 Chapter 218 Shui Huan’s Power

    <h4>Chapter 218 Shui Huan''s Power</h4>


    *BOOM BOOM!*


    Shui Huan brandished her saber as mes burst around her like flowing waves. The golden mes with the crimson tint sent heat waves around it, making the disciple of the Yu Family back away more and more.


    " me Falling From Sky!"


    Shui Huan jumped as her saber transformed into a gigantic arc of me as it fell towards her opponent.


    " Purple Pine Sword! Break for me!"


    The Yu Family disciple hurriedly raised his sword and it turned into a giant purple pike around his longsword. However, Shui Huan didn''t back down as her attack pressed forward.


    The burning saber of Shui Huan burst with powerful mes as it was like setting off wildfire in a dried forest. It covered the attack of her opponent and burned itpletely.


    Before the Yu Family disciple could react, Shui Huan already appeared right before him, with her saber pressing against his neck.


    " I¡­Concede."


    " This match! Shui Huan of Four Seasons Valley wins!"


    " Haha! As expected of you, Sister Shui!"


    " That was fantastic!"


    Shui Huan bowed and came down from the stage, rushing straight to the camp of Four Seasons Valley.


    " Not bad, Shui Huan. You really improved a lot sincest time." Long Ming nodded with a smile. " However, the next fight, Don''t use any technique of the Scorching Summer Branch of Four Seasons Valley. Simply use your saber techniques."


    " Is that so?" Shui Huan didn''t ask why Long Ming said that. She simply agreed. " I shall follow Senior Brother''s words next time."


    Mu Qinglian was surprised when she heard Long Ming''s advice. However, Ming Yuexin''s eyes shone.


    " What is it, Sister Ming? Why Long Ming ask Shui Huan to use her saber technique simply without other techniques?"


    " Didn''t you see, Qinglian?" Ming Yuexin smiled. " Shui Huan is on the verge of gainingprehension of Saber Intent. Therefore, Brother Long asked her to focus on her saber techniques instead."


    " After all, It will speed up herprehension if she understands it throughbat."


    Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as she sighed. " No matter how much a scoundrel he is, his insight really makes me envious."


    " Hehe, Same with me, Qinglian." Ming Yuexin grinned. " However, If we ask, It''s not like Brother Long would deny any request of ours. So, that''s basically a win-win situation."


    Mu Qinglian cast a side nce at Ming Yuexin, who was gazing at Long Ming and licking her lips.


    '' There must be something between Long Ming and Sister Ming¡­''


    " Next match, Chen Yin of Four Seasons Valley versus Shao Ming of Green Cloud Mountain!"


    Chen Yin winked at Long Ming, walking to the stage after gaining his approval.


    " Hmph, Four Seasons Valley, You have given us enough humiliation earlier. Now, We shall return it." Shao Ming snorted as he pulled out his sword.


    " Well, I guess Brother Long was telling the truth." Chen Yinughed lightly as she also unsheathed her sword. " Green Cloud Mountain disciples only know how to fight with their mouths."


    " Hmph, Arrogant girl! Let me show you what real strength is!" Shao Ming raised his sword as it was covered with green smoke.


    Suddenly, his body vanished as the green smoke turned into severalrge swords made up of green clouds.


    " Green Cloud Clear Sword Arts!"


    Chen Yin snorted as the wind rustled around her. As the swords were about to hit her, her figure turned hazy as she jumped, avoiding the attack.


    " Using clouds to harm me? Let me see how they can stand before my wind!"


    " Autumn Breeze Sword Art! Fluttering of Thousand Leaves!"


    With a dim brilliance, Chen Yin''s sword turned into a blur as invisible wind swirled around it. The gale grew more and more as several arcs of cold wind shed out like short swords, cleaving the green clouds into pieces.


    Not giving Shao Ming any time,?Chen Yin jumped as all the wind gathered around her sword, piercing straight towards Shao Ming.


    Shao Ming was shocked as he hurriedly retreated, using his sword to block Chen Yin''s attack.


    *DING DING DING!*


    With a flustered face, Shao Ming can only retreat before the relentless attacks of Chen Yin.


    Chen Yin''s Autumn Breeze Sword Art contains the essence of sword and wind. Her attacks were light and sh, not giving a single breath of respite to Shao Ming.


    However, that was merely a tactic to dy the fight. Using this, Chen Yin kept looking for a single opportunity, a single moment that would make her win.


    "


    Damn it! You bitch! Silver Lining Cloud Sword!"


    Shao Ming roared as his sword shone with a dense light. Lacerating it horizontally, a sharp sword qi shot out, covering the entire stage.


    However, a grin appeared on Chen Yin''s face as she finally found a gap in Shao Ming''s attack.


    " Hmph, Arrogant!"


    Seeing Chen Yin''s counter-attack, Shao Ming snorted as he tried to block it. However, his expression changed when he saw Chen Yin''s sword turning into dust as his sword was about to sh with her''s.


    " Impossible! It''s a sneak attack!"


    " Drifting Wind Illusion Art!"


    Chen Yin''s sword vanished from the sight of Shao Ming and appeared from the other side, making Shao Ming fall for her trap.


    The sword whizzed and stabbed at the shoulder of Shao Ming, making him cry out. However, before he could retreat, Chen Yin''s sword again sliced the neck of Shao Ming, making a small cut on his throat.


    " Surrender! I surrender!"


    " And this round, Chen Yin or Four Seasons Valley wins!"


    " Sister Chen did it!"


    " Haha, It was such an easy victory!"


    Chen Yin returned to Long Ming''s side as she giggled. " Thank you, Senior Brother. Thanks for the tips you gave usst time, it really helped me to improve my technique."


    " How I wish Senior Brother visited us more often to discuss about the dao?"


    Lin Xie chuckled as she joined. " Don''t Worry, Chen Yin. If we do well, I am sure we can invite Senior Brother to our abode for a long dao discussion."


    " I¡­ I want to join too." Shui Huan nibbled her lips as she spoke.


    Long Ming was dumbfounded when he felt the hungry gaze of all the female disciples around him.


    '' Why do I feel I became a bigger prize than the first ce in the Battle Tournament?'' Long Ming mumbled inwardly.


    However, seeing Mu Qinglian was casting strange nces here, Long Ming waved his hands. " Of course, As long you guys do well in Battle Tournament, I am willing to fulfill all your wishes."


    " But for now, You must focus on the duels. Winning in the early rounds means nothing. We must get our names in the top ten list."


    " Yes, Senior Brother."


    " Since Senior Brother has promised us rewards, how can we not give our best?"


    Xia Yuqing smiled as she saw the enthusiasm of her disciples. She was also surprised to see their battle prowess. '' To think Long Ming made them grow so much in a month. He is really talented in teaching.''


    As hours passed, all disciples of Four Seasons Valley had one winning in their que. After that, another round began.


    When Long Ming''s turn came, he realized he was up against a Zhongye Sect disciple.


    '' Damn, Zhongye Sect is sure unlucky. Every time they try to do something, they end up facing me.'' Long Ming sighed as he cupped his fist, holding his Plum Blossoms Paper Fan.


    " I am Long Ming of Four Seasons Valley. Please, give me guidance."


    The moment the duel started, All the Zhongye Sect disciple saw Long Ming waving his Plum Blossoms Fan as the stage was covered with a pink tornado of plum blossoms, with a refreshing fragrance.

 Chapter 219 Blissful Heaven Temple’s Sissy

    <h4>Chapter 219 Blissful Heaven Temple''s Sissy</h4>


    Long Ming saw his opponent was simply a cultivator of Mid stage Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. For others, such talent could go past round three easily.


    However, unfortunately, the disciple faced against Long Ming.


    With a sigh, Long Ming used his Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art. Using his fan as a weapon, his Fragrant Yin Qi flowed out like pink ribbons.


    However, those ribbons were sharp as a sword, with each swing slicing the wind itself.


    The peach blossoms imprinted on his paper fan became alive as if the seasons of spring appeared on the stage. The wind carried an addictive fragrance, making people close their eyes and enjoy it.


    However, the storm of plum blossoms and Fragrant Yin Qi onlysted for a few breaths as the petals vanished.


    The crowd gasped when they saw the Zhongye Sect disciple kneeling on the ground, his expression terrified and exhausted.


    " I¡­ I surrender!"


    " This¡­"


    Everyone became dumbfounded when the match ended so fast. Not to mention, not many could see what happened inside the storm of plum blossom petals.


    However, those with true eyesight were amazed as they could see how Long Ming defeated his opponent.


    There was no fancy move nor any powerful techniques. Long Ming simply released all his Fragrant Yin Qi and controlled every petal, like an arrowhead, sharp and precise.


    As the storm of petals covered the Zhongye Sect disciple, he faced a relentless attack from everywhere. It was like countless soldiers attacking him with a sharp sword from all directions.


    Moreover, the scent of Fragrant Yin Qi made his senses dull, falling for the attacks of the Long Ming''s Fragrant Yin Qi. He simply used the tremendous pressure of Fragarnt Yin Qi to crush the Zhongye Sect disciple.


    " This round''s winner, Four Seasons Valley''s Long Ming!"


    " It was a worthy duel, Fellow Daoist." Long Ming smiled as he cupped his fist, closing his paper fan. His refined attitude and Deste Immortal Aura made everyone admire him.


    " Look, He is so elegant"


    " Haah, Not only the girls of Four Seasons Valley are pretty, even their True Disciple is he handsome."


    " Hehe, Maybe I should meet him after his match?"


    Long Ming smiled lightly as he turned around, walking back to the pavilion where Four Seasons Valley disciples were staying.


    " Senior Brother, You are so cool!"


    " Indeed, That move was so beautiful! It felt like peach blossoms falling in the gentle wind of spring!"


    Xia Yuqing walked toward Long Ming with a surprise.


    " Not bad, I thought you would rather choose some robust branch like Scorching Summer or straightforward like Deste Winter. However, you are more suitable for Returning Spring Branch."


    " Huhuhu, Doesn''t that mean me and little brother can spend more time with each other?" Meng Zhi rubbed her chin with a smirk. " After all, I have been cultivating the techniques of the Spring branch for years. I am sure I can guide little brother."


    " Hmph! Elder Meng is acting so eager." Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but snort. " Are you sure you only want to guide him in techniques and nothing else?"


    " Oh my, Who knows?" Meng Zhi pursed her lips as she looked at Mu Qinglian, stretching her body and unting her assets a bit.


    " After all, it''s not umon for a moving from the study table to the bed~"


    " Yo-You!!"


    " Enough!" Xia Yuqing rubbed her forehead as she sighed. " Why do you guys have to act so childish?"


    " Anyway, The second round is about to be over. Mu Qinglian got another nk que again. So, It''s your turn, Ming Yuexin."


    " Yes, Sect Master." Ming Yuexin bowed before Xia Yuqing.


    Long Ming closed his eyes as he walked to Ming Yuexin and leaned forward.


    Ming Yuexin blushed at the sudden movement of Long Ming. " Brother Long, What are you doing? Everyone is watching¡­"


    " Sister Ming, You better be careful of your opponent, as he is from Blissful Heaven Temple." Long Ming whispered in Ming Yuexin''s ears, making her startle.


    " Brother Long, Are you not confident in my strength?" Ming Yuexin bit her lips as she looked at Long Ming.


    " I trust your strength, Sister Ming." Long Ming chuckled. " However, I don''t believe in the righteousness of Blissful Heaven Temple. Who knows? They might pull some tricks."


    " Tricks?" Ming Yuexin was surprised as she felt Long Ming was passing her something.


    " Keep it with you." Long Mingughed as he turned around.


    Mu Qingliang felt a strange feeling in her heart when she saw Long Ming and Ming Yuexin so close.


    '' Hmph, Who cares about that leecher anyway? It''s his life, he can do whatever he wants.'' Mu Qinglian mumbled inwardly. However, her mind couldn''t help but be messy for a moment.


    As Ming Yuexin walked on the stage, she saw a young man from the Blissful Heaven Temple.


    " Hehe, Ming Yuexin, Is it?" The young manughed lightly. " I have heard about you. Your sword technique is best in Four Seasons Valley, huh?"


    " I dare not today that." Ming Yuexin spoke in a light voice.


    " Hehe, It doesn''t matter, you have a nice sword and a nice¡­Skin."


    Ming Yuexin felt a goosebump when she heard that. The young man already looked like a strange sissy. But now, hearing his words, Ming Yuexin felt this disciple of Blissful Heaven Temple wasn''t normal at all.


    " How about this? Why don''t we make a bet?" The young manughed. " You have a Royal grade sword. I have a Royal grade treasure. The winner gets the opponent''s treasure."


    " This¡­" Ming Yuexin hesitated as she looked at Long Ming. However, she was relieved when she saw Long Ming''s smiling approval.


    The instructor who was overseeing the match nodded. " You can indeed bet on the match. And, if a party doesn''t adhere to the rules, they shall suffer punishment."


    " Very well, Since that''s the case, I shall let you make a move first." The young man grinned as he pulled out a pair of daggers. " My name is Bai Chunwei. I hope you remember the one who defeated you."


    "Arrogant words!"


    Ming Yuexin snorted as she pulled out her zing red sword. " I hope you can at least take one move of mine!"


    " Burning Sky Sword Art! ming sh!"


    Long Ming and others looked at the fight with growing anticipation. However, Mu Qinglian''s eyes narrowed suddenly.


    " That Bai Chunmei¡­He isn''t as weak as he looks." Mu Qinglian snorted. " Also, that sissy bastard...It''s giving me weird vibe."


    " Hmm, He is just waiting to deliver a sneak attack, isn''t he?" Long Ming became amused. " After all, What else can a sect like Blissful Heaven Temple can do?"


    " But don''t worry, Senior Sister." Long Ming grinned, " That Bai Chunmei might get a nice surprise."

 Chapter 220 Next Round

    <h4>Chapter 220 Next Round</h4>


    " Blissful Desires Secret Arts!"


    Bai Chunmei''s daggers swung as they created a beautiful threadwork across the stage. However, Ming Yuexin''s sword zed with purest mes, cutting down the threads with ease.


    As her sword was about to stab Bai Chunmei, Ming Yuexin''s expression changed as she saw her sword stabbing empty air.


    " What? I am here."


    " You!"


    Ming Yuexin sliced her sword, but she felt a dangerous presence from the other side. Using her mes, she jumped back as a swift dagger passed by her neck.


    " Not bad! You got some sharp senses."


    Bai Chunmei''s figure appeared in front of her like a ghost, his pair of daggers shone with a strange green light.


    " This¡­ Sensory illusions!" Ming Yuexin rubbed her forehead as she snorted.


    " Oh my, How perspective." Bai Chunmei let out an effeminateugh. " Indeed, This is our sect''s Blissful Desires Demonic Art''s true power."


    " As a swordmaster, Let''s see what you will do when your five senses turn into your own enemies."


    Ming Yuexin sensed a presence from behind as she turned around, shing out her sword. However, a palm hit her from the side, making Ming Yuexin push to the edge of the stage.


    " Ugh, This bastard¡­" Ming Yuexin clenched her teeth. She could no longer trust her eyes, her ears, or any of her senses, as Bai Chunmei''s technique was affecting her five senses.


    However, suddenly, a sh of rity appeared in Ming Yuexin''s eyes as she closed her eyes, raising her sword.


    " Futile efforts!"


    Bai Chunmei''s voice rang from everywhere, But Ming Yuexin didn''t hesitate as she shed out her sword.


    *DING DING DING!*


    To everyone''s surprise, Ming Yuexin managed to block all the attacks of Bai Chunmei with her eyes closed. Bai Chunmei''s expression turned dark as he was suppressed by Ming Yuexin''s sharp sword intent.


    " Impossible! How can you act freely with my mental retrains of my technique?"


    " Even if you block my five senses, how can you block the sense of my sword?" Ming Yuexin snorted as she raised her sword. The crimson sword shone with a brilliance as dozen zing swords like its replica swirled around Ming Yuexin.


    " Scorching Summer Sword Art! Thousand Rays of Sun!"


    The zing swords turned into light rays as they shot toward Bai Chunmei. Bai Chunmei hastily pulled out a talisman and ripped it.


    *BOOOM!*


    A purple crystal shield appeared around Bai Chunmei as it blocked the attack of Ming Yuexin.


    " Hmph, Using Crystal Shield Talisman, You think it will stop me?" Ming Yuexin snorted as she used her attack to break the crystal shield. But suddenly, the shield cracked as a sh of light appeared.


    " Urghh!"


    Ming Yuexin cried in pain as she retreated several steps. Her waist, which was attacking by Bai Chunmei before turned into a purple spot as it started to spread across her body slowly.


    Looking at Bai Chunmei, his left was was slowly rotting with a purple aura, only skin remained on his bony hands. " Hehe, Finally! You are struck with my Blissful Demon Poison!"


    Ming Yuexin cursed as he saw Bai Chunmei holding a small needle in his left hand. After use, the needle slowly melted. It was obviously a one-time-use item and a lethal one.


    " Now, You will slowly die in agony. Every muscle will rot inside you, leaving only this beautiful skin for me."


    " But of course, if you kneel and lick my shoes and admit your defeat, I may give you relief from this pain."


    Ming Yuexin''s vision turned blurry as she felt a strange pain creeping up from her waist. However, remembering Long Ming''s words, she backed away and swallowed a pill.


    " Haha, You think ordinary detoxification pills can help you?: Bai Chunmei snorted. " Give up and better start licking my boots."


    " Well, Ordinary pills can''t¡­" Ming Yuexin took a deep breath as she clenched her sword. The Royal grade weapon shone with a blood red me, simr to the eyes of Ming Yuexin. Her aura rose rapidly as the sword turned into a pir of blood mes.


    " This¡­This!!" Bai Chunmei was shocked as he backed away. " You¡­You aren''t affected by poison?!"


    " Scorching Summer Sword Art! Scorching Wave Burns The Earth!"


    The pir of me turned into a gigantic divine sword as it manifested above her. Her sword intent and intent of fire erupted, turning the illusory ming sword into reality.


    Wielding such a giant sword, Ming Yuexin showed no difort. However, even the crowd outside the aren could feel the sharpness of the sword and the heat of the mes.


    As the sword descended, the stage cracked. Bai Chunmei used another talisman to block it, but it shattered in an instant.


    *BOOM*


    The entire stage filled with crimson me as a figure shot out of the stage,nding on the ground like a burning charcoal. The disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple hurried as they put out the fire.


    " This round, Ming Yuexin wins!"


    Ming Yuexin took a deep breath as shended on her trembling feet. Suddenly, she felt someone was holding her waist.


    " Qinglian, You are worrying too much." Ming Yuexin smiled at Mu Qinglian.


    " You¡­ Are you alright, Sister Ming?" Mu Qinglian hurriedly brought her back to the camp.


    " This¡­ This is a Blissful Demonic Poison of Blissful Heaven Temple." Meng Zhi knitted her brows. " But thankfully, it got neutralized a lot the moment it started to spread."


    " All thanks to Brother Long." Ming Yuexin smiled lightly as she got up. " His anti toxin pill really helped me a lot."


    " Blissful Heaven Temple''s Mo Zhu Suo Lin used poison against Lin Xie during wine gathering." Long Ming sighed. " Therefore, I had to prepare for such things."


    " You are thoughtful as usual." Meng Zhi nodded. " But, Meng Zhi needed to refine away the remaining poison. Else she won''t be able to perform well in her next match."


    " Don''t worry, I will help her." Xia Yuqing walked forward and sat behind Ming Yuexin. " You did well, Ming Yuexin."


    " Thank you for the praise, Sect Master." Ming Yuexin cupped her fist as she bowed. She could feel Xia Yuqing using her power to slowly destroy the remaining poisons in her body.


    " That''s rather thoughtful of you." Mu Qinglian stood with Long Ming as she spoke.


    Rubbing his forehead, Long Ming smiled. " Just say¡­ I had a premonition. It''s good that I was prepared. However, the other sects might try to do the same or worse. Especially Sky Martial Tower."


    In fact, Long Ming used his Temporal Fate Simtion technique for a brief moment which confused his spiritual qi. However, he caught the glimpse of this happening.


    " I know." Mu Qinglian looked in the direction of Sky Martial Tower. " However, You did one thing well."


    " What?"


    " Wiping out the true and chosen disciples of various sects and houses." Mu Qinglian nced at them.


    " So you really thought it was me and not the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster?" Long Ming pouted.


    " Sure, As you say." Mu Qinglian pursed her lips.


    After three rounds, Lin Xie, Chen Yin, Shui Huan, Luo Yingying, Ming Yuexin, Mu Qinglian, and Long Ming remained and a few other disciples remained.


    " Well, The real match starts from here."

 Chapter 221 Long Ming V/S Ling Yuan

    <h4>Chapter 221 Long Ming V/S Ling Yuan</h4>


    ording to Long Ming, there should be five rounds before the final roundes. And for now, three rounds have been ended. But Long Ming was satisfied to see that there were still ? of Four Seasons Valley disciples remaining.


    In the fourth round, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian drew nk ques. Ming Yuexin faced Lin Xie and Shui Huan faced Chen Yin.


    Simrly, the other sect disciples also faced their own disciples. After all, only 100 of the participants remained. And even if someone lost in the fourth round, their name appeared on the ranking list of the top 100.


    Naturally, Ming Yuexin won against Lin Xie. As for the match of Shui Huan and Chen Yin, It was a tough fight as both of them gave their best.


    However, Chen Yin still won thanks to her superior cultivation.


    Long Ming then watched?with interest as he saw the match of?Chen Yin against Xu Jian,


    As the son of the Sect Master of Six Sword Pavilion, his natural talent was too high. It didn''t take much before he defeated her. Long Ming ad to admit that in terms of pure sword techniques, Six Sword Pavilion is better than Four Seasons Valley''s sword technique.


    But then, The Four Seasons Valley''s techniques could yield greater power at peakprehension, so no need to worry about that.


    However, Then, Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he saw Shui Huan coughing a mouthful of blood as she held her saber, standing on the edge of the stage.


    " Hmph, The strength of the Four Seasons Valley is simply so-so." A girl spoke in a haughty tone as she waved her sword. Long Ming she supposed to be a Core Disciple of Sky Martial Tower.


    " Just give up and I won''t beat you too much. Else¡­"


    " Else what? You think just because you asked me to forfeit, you think I will?" Shui Huan snorted as she raised her saber in defiance.


    " Shui Huan, You can do it! Just follow your heart!" Long Ming took a deep breath as he shouted. Shui Huan''s body trembled as she could hear Long Ming''s voice.


    Clenching the hilt, Shui Huan could feel a strange humming sound from her saber as she tried to feel it more.


    Long Ming''s words kept resonating in her heart as if paving the way to a new door. As the woman of Sky Martial Tower tried to execute her finishing move, Shui Huan''s eyes opened as she moved her saber.


    *ROAAAR!*


    Unlike the gentleness and sharpness of the sword, her saber cried out with a powerful tyranny. Like a lurking tiger jumping out from the bust, attacking its prey, Shui Huan''s saber erupted with a vicious and powerful aura.


    The disciple of Sky Martial Tower was rmed as she tried to block the sudden attack, but Shui Huan pressed forth.


    " Go forth! Face my saber intent!"


    Shui Huan shouted as a giant ming saber materialized, falling on her opponent.


    "Damn it! You forced me to do this!"


    The disciple of Sky Martial Tower snorted as she pulled out an arrow and threw it at Shui Huan.


    Suddenly, the arrow blinked as a terrifying light covered it. Breaking the saber intent of Shui Huan, it shot toward Shui Huan at an rming speed.


    However, at that moment Shui Huan vanished as she appeared right outside the stage.


    Xia Yuqing snorted as she looked at the elder overseeing the match. " I thought killing the opponents was prohibited in the tournament?"


    " Well, Interfering in a match is also prohibited, Sect Master Xia." Zheng Li appeared as he spoke coolly.


    " Hmph, We withdraw from this match." Xia Yuqing spoke as she rubbed the head of Shui Huan. " You did well, Child."


    " En, I am sorry, Sect Master."


    " It''s alright. It''s better to lose than winning with underhanded methods." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " A win is a win, Sect Master Xia." Zheng Li snorted. " The fancy words you are speaking are only for the weak."


    " Well, I thank Elder Zheng for the reminder." Long Ming stood beside Xia Yuqing as he smiled.


    " However, Elder Zheng, Remember it. A cultivator dies when they got killed." Long Ming smiled.


    " It''s not like disciples of Sky Martial Tower are immortal, right?"


    " Hmph, If you have guts, try to harm them." Zheng Li snorted.


    " Elder Zheng, One must not wish casually." Long Ming grinned. " Who knows? You might get it?"


    Xia Yuqing''s face remained calm as she took back Long Ming and Shui Huan.


    " Shui Huan, You did well." Long Ming smiled. " Also, Congrattions, You haveprehended the saber intent."


    " It''s all thanks to you, Senior Brother." Shui Huan smiled." s, I lost this match."


    " That should be a Noble grade Golden Arrow Talisman, containing the sharpness of Dao of Archery. It could be only created by a dying Dao Refining Realm cultivator''s essence."


    " Well, that sounds expensive," Long Ming clicked his tongue. " Sky Martial Tower already started to show its aggressiveness, huh?"


    " You have to be careful, Long Ming." Xia Yuqing warned. " I don''t care if you win or not. However, nothing must happen to you or Qinglian."


    " If you feel any grave dangers, withdraw without thinking anything else."


    Long Ming saw the concerned look of Xia Yuqing as he smiled. " Yes, Master, I understand."


    " However, I can''t withdraw as the question is now on the dignity and pride of Four Seasons Valley."


    " Therefore, How about you give me some special prize, Master?" Long Ming grinned.


    " Special prize?" Xia Yuqing was startled. " Hmm, You are right. Maybe I should take you inside the true treasury of our sect where you can choose some weapons for lifetime use."


    " Well, I don''t have such lofty aspirations, Master." Long Minh shook his head. " I mean, I don''t want those treasures."


    " No treasures? Then what do you want?" Xia Yuqing became confused.


    " Hehe, I think Master guessed that already." Long Ming''s cheeky grin became wider as he gazed at Xia Yuqing.


    Suddenly, rosey clouds rose on Xia Yuqing''s cheeks as she stamped her feet out of shame and anger. " You-You! Shameless! Vulgar! Pervert!"


    " What is it, Master?" Long Ming shrugged. " I didn''t even say anything. Are you assuming something dirty?"


    " How could I have raised such a rascal like you?" Xia Yuqing felt her blood going to be evaporate from anger.


    " Anyway, Master, You should give me such rewards to keep me motivated, you know?" Long Ming grinned as he turned around. " Although I am not asking anything for now¡­ You better prepare a little gift for me, Master."


    Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming''s back as she sighed. '' Mm, if he wins, Should I let him massage me once again? Or taking bath with him¡­''


    " Wait! What the hell I am thinking?" Xia Yuqing hurriedly shook her head as she almost pped herself.


    " Damn it! Rascal! Demon!"


    " Elder Sister, Who are you cursing?" Meng Zhi looked at Xia Yuqing as she asked in confusion.


    " Errm¡­ I was¡­ Nothing. Nothing at all." Xia Yuqing calmed her heart as she spoke.


    As time passed, Luo Yingying, Lin Xie and Chen Yin finally met worthy opponents and got their respective ranks in the top thirty list.


    Long Ming looked at his que as he saw a familiar figure on the stage.


    " Haha! How fortunate! How fortunate!" Ling Yuanughed loudly as he looked at Long Ming. " Atst, Brother Long. We found a perfect stage topare our strengths."


    " Well? Why Brother Ling is getting so excited?" Long Ming got on the stage as he opened his paper fan. " I am just a humble schr after all."


    " Well, I don''t care if you are a schr or an idiot." Ling Yuan held his sheathed sword as he smiled. " As long you can fight with me, I will fight."


    " Then, It can''t be helped, Brother Ling." Long Ming snapped the paper fan close as it covered with a bright ray of mesmerizing Fragrant Yin Qi, turning into a sword made of aura.


    Ling Yuan also raised his sword which was still inside the scabbard. The crowd felt the situation amusing as if they were performing some sort ofedy.


    However, their expression changed when both of them vanished from their position as their strange weapons collided.


    "CLANG CLANG CLANG*


    Like real swords shing against each other, the sound and the force behind it made the air churn around it. Both Ling Yuan and Long Ming used basic Foundation Sword Arts.


    However, each of their moves was swift, sharp, and deadly beyond anything.


    Ling Yuan''s sword represented pure battle power as if an experienced sword master using his sword to kill myriads of enemies.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming''s sword was swift and elegant, like an immortal doing a sword dance above the clouds.


    Within a few breaths of time, they already exchanged a hundred moves. Ling Yuan kicked the ground as he jumped behind, looking at Long Ming with glee.


    " Well, I expected nothing less from you, Brother Long." Ling Yuan looked at Long Ming as he held his sword in a peculiar manner.


    " However, Now I am going to get serious."


    He clenched the hilt of the sword, prepared to pull it at any moment.


    " How amusing, I am also going to be serious as well."

    <h4>Chapter 222 Four Seasons Heavenly Physique</h4>


    " Brother Long, I know you also have an affinity with sword." Ling Yuan smiled as he steadied himself. " I hope you don''t disappoint me."


    " Great Meteor Sword Art! Unseathing Star!"


    *SWISH!*


    No one saw how Ling Yuan moved. However, the sword was already unsheathed.


    *BOOOOM!*


    Long Mingused his own sword as he blocked an invisible wind. The ground before him bore the mark of several deep shes as he got pushed back several steps.


    " Ling Yuan simply unsheathed his sword, yet he already made such an attack?


    " What a fast sword technique! But Long Ming managed to block it!"


    " That''s a sword drawing technique. Withoutprehending the sword intent, You can''t perform such a fast sword drawing technique." An elder of Six Sword Pavilion spoke.


    " Damn it, They are in their twenties. How could both of themprehend sword intent to this degree?"


    " Geniuses! Both of them are geniuses!"


    " Marvelous, Brother Long." Ling Yuan chuckled. " The first move was enough to cut down a High stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator. Yet you withstood it."


    " However, I won''t show any mercy from now." Ling Yuan rushed toward Long Ming as his sword glowed with a faint golden light. The golden light turned into golden rays as it fell on Long Ming like shooting stars.


    " Second stance! Falling Meteors!"


    " Returning Spring Sword Art! Arrival of Southern Wind!"


    After viewing all the sword techniques of Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming realized the Returning Spring Sword Art was much more suitable for him.


    Also, the technique could be further boosted using his Fragrant Yin Qi. Therefore, he had been practicing the Returning Spring Sword Art for a while.


    His sword moved as the wind swirled around Long Ming, condensing pink petals of plum blossoms. Turning into a swarm of petals, he easily blocked the attack of Ling Yuan.


    However, before he could do anything else, Ling Yuan appeared beside him like a ghost, his sword turning into a radiant light and shooting towards Long Ming''s chest.


    It was like his sword turned into a divine sword of light, trying to pierce the heart of Long Ming.


    But Long Ming only grinned as he waved his sword. The Fragrant Yin Qi condensed into pink colored silk threads as they wrapped around Ling Yuan''s sword, slowing it down.


    However, the impact was enough to push back Long Ming a dozen of steps.


    " Hahaha! This is so fucking exciting!" Ling Yuanughed as a divine aura covered his body. An illusory me burned around him, condensing into a figure of a robust general. The aura of Ling Yuan erupted as it covered his sword, transforming into a sharp and divine long sword.


    " Sky Fighting Royal Body?" Long Ming was startled as he smiled wryly. " Brother Ling, You want to go all out, eh?"


    As studying the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques, Long Ming had insight into various physiques. Although their names might change, their characteristics remained the same across the ages.


    Sky Battling Royal Body simply enhances the power and vigor of the possessor to a great degree. This means, that in the same realm, the cultivator of Sky Battling Royal Body can be more powerful than anyone else.


    However, cultivating the Sky Battling Royal body is tedious. Not only do they need rare natural treasures, but they also need to temper their body with constant fighting and battle experiences.


    Also, if receives a corresponding Imperial grade Physique technique, It can evolve into a Battle Tyrant Imperial Body.


    Currently, Ling Yuan is using his Minor Completion Sky Battling Royal Body. Along with his royal grade sword and sword intent, He could even assert pressure on a Mid stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.


    Currently, Ling Yuan looked like a battle general with his divine sword pointed at Long Ming. Long Ming grinned as he held his sword tightly.


    Silently, he activated his Great Mystic Mountain Physique, making his body grow heavier.


    " Heavenly Meteor Storm!"


    Ling Yuan''s power erupted as he pointed his sword towards Long Ming. It was like the brilliance of his sword was making the surroundings dim.


    The sword rays were fast like showering meteors, each of them was fast enough to escape the divine sense of normal cultivators. However, Long Ming simply waved his sword as it was covered with indomitable sword intent.


    The sword embryo in his dantian stirred as Long Ming felt his sword bing more and familiar with his body and mind.


    *CLANNGGGG!*


    Long Ming''s sword shed, making the air boom. Long Ming''s sword was enforced with his power and weight of Great Mystic Mountain Physique.


    The power was tremendous as the sword bore mountain like weight and momentum. The stage rumbled as Long Ming''s sword crushed Ling Yuan''s attacks.


    However, Ling Yuan still attacked as his sword intent soared like meteors. As time passed, his attack grew more and more, with his sword bing faster and faster.


    Long Ming realized he couldn''t suppress Ling Yuan if he didn''t use one of his true powers.


    Suddenly, Lightning crackled around Long Ming as a pair of divine wings appeared behind him. His sword turned into a pir of lightning as he vanished from his spot.


    Ling Yuan''s expression changed as he raised his sword, defending three lightning attacks.


    " Hmph! Sword Lotus Steps!"


    Ling Yuan''s body turned into after images as his sword hummed with sharpness. However, Long Ming after using his Raging Storm Wing became increasingly powerful.


    Long Ming''s sword turned swift and dangerous,ced with the powerful tribtion lightning qi as it wreaked havoc across the stage.


    '' Ling Yuan almost reached the Sword Heart realm. He already started to forge his own path of sword, which is now flickering in his sword intent.'' Long Ming was surprised when he saw that.


    " However, It ends here!" Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shone as his sword merged with the Lightning and Wind Qi. He condensed the sword intent into a single thread as his sword embryo jumped in delight.


    *SHIIIIIIIIING!*


    With a whistling sound, a cloud of dust rose, covering the entire stage. When the dust subsided, Ling Yuan stood before Long Ming, with a light wound on his neck.


    " That sword in the end¡­ You really tried to kill me, Didn''t you?" Ling Yuan pouted.


    " Brother Ling, I apologize." Long Ming smiled wryly.


    For a moment, his Chaotic Murder Heart awakened, making his movement swift and precise like a killer. It heightened his ability along with his use of Lightning and Wind qi.


    However, Thankfully, Long Ming snapped back to his true mind, or else he would have gravely injured Ling Yuan.


    " But I can see, You still haven''t revealed your true power, eh?" Ling Yuan chuckled. " Same for me, As I didn''t use any of my killing moves."


    " However, In this match, I have lost." Ling Yuan cupped his fist.


    " It was a good match, Brother Ling." Long Ming smiled.


    " However, You still have topensate me." Ling Yuan snorted lightly. " Five paintings. As for what you are supposed to draw¡­Hehe, You know it."


    Long Ming became speechless when he heard Ling Yuan''s request. Although he knew Ling Yuan was a pervert, he never thought he would fall even lower.


    " This match, Long Ming of Four Seasons Valley wins!"


    Hearing the cheers of the crowd, Long Ming nodded with a smile. However, with a sudden burst of aura, Long Ming and Ling Yuan turned away, looking at another stage.


    " Hey¡­Is that really Mu Qinglian?" Ling Yuan turned at Long Ming as he asked in surprise.


    In another battle stage where Mu Qinglian and Shu Changyan were fighting.


    Mu Qinglian soared to the sky as her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body manifested. A holy me rose as it covered her body, donning a powerful battle armor on her body.


    One wing condensed from scarlet golden mes, while the other wing was burned with blue mes with intense frozen icy qi.


    " Hmph! As expected, Four Seasons Valley did hide an imperial inheritance." Shu Changyan snorted as his aura also soared.


    " What? Is that another Imperial Physique?"


    Xia Yuqing''s expression changed as she stood up, her face turning livid instantly.


    " Bastards! That''s Four Seasons Heavenly Physique!" Xia Yuqing cursed as she looked at Shu Gongyan.


    Long Ming was also surprised when he saw the four colored aura around the Shu Gongyan''s body.


    Four Seasons Heavenly Physique was cultivated by the Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor, who created the Four Seasons Valley.


    However, after him, not many were able to cultivate the Four Seasons Heavenly Physique.


    Long Ming only knew about the existence of the Four Seasons Heavenly Physique from the ancestral tablet. However, he still didn''t get the full technique from there.


    However, seeing Shu Changyan using it, Long Ming realized that it was stolen by the Sky Martial Tower after the cmity of Four Seasons Valley.


    '' But wait, That''s not right.'' Long Ming looked at Shu Changyan''s physique phenomenon.


    '' Instead of being bnced, the spring portion of four seasons looking much weak and iplete.'' Long Ming deduced instantly using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    However, at that moment, Mu Qinglian and Shu Gongyan charged at each other, as two Imperial Physiques collided with each other.

 Chapter 223 Flipping The Table

    <h4>Chapter 223 Flipping The Table</h4>


    Blood Phoenix Sacred Body is one of the powerful Imperial physiques cultivated in ancient times. Its activation can draw out all the potential of the cultivator, removing their limits and granting them heavenly strength.


    The stamina bes like an inexhaustible spring, making the cultivator fight the cultivator''s several realms higher than theirs.


    As for the Four Seasons Heavenly Body, it was the body that borrows the strength of nature, the surrounding force of heaven and earth.


    " The Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor was fortunate enough to gain the cultivation technique of Four Seasons Heavenly Physique, which made him a Heavenly Emperor."


    " After that, he established the foundation of the Four Seasons Valley."


    Long Ming had returned to the camp of Four Seasons Valley, standing beside Xia Yuqing.


    " The cultivation technique of Four Seasons Heavenly Physique was divided into various parts, and Four Seasons Grand Energy Flowing Part was a part of it."


    " However, A major part was stolen by the Sky Martial Tower after the cmity of Four Seasons Valley." Xia Yuqing clenched her fist.


    " That technique should be ours. However, look at those bastards. How dare they to unt our techniques before us?"


    Long Ming could feel Xia Yuqing trembling with rage. Other than rage, he could also feel the helplessness in her eyes.


    After all, imagine the shame of seeing one of your best treasures being unted and used against yourself by their enemies.


    " However, That technique isn''t totally perfect either, Master." Long Ming spoke in a light voice. " Can you see the aura of spring from Shu Changyan? It''s much weaker than the other three seasons."


    " It looks like they only had an iplete technique." Long Ming spoke in a thoughtful voice. " They seemed to patch the techniques throughout the years, but it''s still not enough."


    " Hehe, Although he managed to cultivate the physique till Minor Completion, It will be impossible for him to reach the Perfection stage."


    " And perhaps for that reason, They wanted to get the Returning Spring Flowing Art from us."


    " That¡­ That''s possible." Xia Yuqing was startled when she heard Long Ming''s reasoning.


    She didn''t see the w of Shu Changyan''s physique at first. However, after hearing Long Ming, she could see the faint disruption behind Shu Changyan''s body.


    Shu Changyan''s body was covered with four different colors of qi, each creating the phenomenon of a different season. Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring, all four seasons appeared behind him like a mirage, supplying him with the energy of Heaven and Earth.


    His Harmonization Realm power exploded as he tried to trap Mu Qinglian.


    " Four Seasons Great Domain!"


    Shu Changyan shouted as the aura of the four seasons around him erupted, covering Mu Qinglian in it.


    It created a domain, divided into four parts. Mu Qinglian was startled as she could feel the attack of the intense heat of summer.


    " Destructive Autumn!"


    Seeing Mu Qinglian defending against the heatwave, Shu Changyan used his next move. The wind rose as it created a storm of dust and pebbles. It was like sucking away all the aura of the surroundings, then the sharp wind trying to destroy it.


    " Hmph! How dare you to use our sect technique against me?!" Mu Qinglian snorted as her Frozen Flower Sword shone with an icy blue ray.


    " Deste Winter Sword Art! Frozen Field of Destion!"


    The frozen wings of Mu Qinglian shone with a bright ray as it fused with her Frozen Flower Sword. With a single sh, an icy breath spread across the stage.


    " Winter Domain!"


    Shu Changyan saw his body was getting covered with ayer of ice. To defend against that, he chose to use the winter power of the Four Seasons Heavenly Physiques.


    The opposing forces of cold collided with each other. The mist spread across the field as both retreated.


    " Give up!" Shu Changyanughed. " My Four Seasons Heavenly Physique can counter all techniques of Four Seasons Valley. It''s only a matter of time before I defeat you."


    " Hmph, Arrogant!" Mu Qinglian clenched her sword as a mocking smile appeared on her lips. " You think I can''t defeat you?"


    " Blood Phoenix Burst!"


    Suddenly, a crimson aura covered Mu Qinglian as her aura soared. The wings around her multiplied as she looked like a war angel.


    The Frozen Flower Sword turned into a gigantic icy shard, with sharp edges glistened around it. However, a ze of golden mes rose, covering the icy shard with a gale wind.


    " Wh-What''s that?"


    " Look! She is already using the treasure spirit of that Royal Grade weapon! It means she can draw out more than 50% power of that sword."


    The Royal Grade Swords are in fact treasures that could be only fully utilized by Ancient Lord Realm Cultivators. However, cultivators of the lower realms can still draw out if they meet certain quotas of true qi,prehension bloodline etc.


    The power brought forth by Mu Qinglian was enough to kill a Peak stage Harmonization Realm cultivator.


    However, Long Ming could see that Mu Qinglian also exhausted her true qi and stamina in that process. After all, she certainly felt a burden to use such a powerful treasure like that.


    " To think she fused the Intent of Four Seasons in her attack like that." Xia Yuqing mumbled. " This child, when did she grow so much?"


    " Four Seasons Domain! Shield!"


    Shu Gongyan pushed his Minor Completion Physique to the limits as a four colored dome appeared around him, creating a powerful shield.


    *BOOM BOOM*


    Like a heavenly pike falling from the sky, Mu Qinglian''s sword pierced through the shield of Shu Gongyan like a paper.


    *SHIIINGGGGG!*


    " I won''t let you go either!" Shu Gongyan let out an unwilling roar as he pulled out a ck colored talisman.


    " Damn it! Is that Forbidden Life Extinguishing Talisman?" Xia Yuqing''s expression changed as she tried to jump and rush towards the stage.


    However, at that moment, The Grand Elder of Sky Martial Tower appeared right before Xia Yuqing.


    " Sect Master Xia, You shouldn''t interfere in another match again." He snorted as he raised his hands, blocking her entirely.


    " Get out of my way!" Xia Yuqing didn''t bothered as her aura shifted.


    The atmosphere changed instantly as Xia Yuqing used his Nine Transformations of Soul Realm power.


    Zheng Li was surprised when he realized Xia Yuqing''s strength increased again. However, a hint of jealous appeared as he waved his hands, creating an aura st.


    '' Anyway, I just needed to block her for a moment¡­''


    The Forbidden Life Extinguishing Talisman erupted with a dark light as it devoured the true qi and blood essence from his body.


    Thick ck chains shot out from the talisman as it gained its power from Shu Changyan. However, the ck chains covered with a vicious aura now shot at Mu Qinglian.


    A sense of dread appeared in Mu Qinglian''s attack as she raised her sword, making a field of snow appear before her.


    The icy pirs stood erect, trying to block the dark chains. However the dark chains contained a strange corrosive power, which melted the pirs of ice instantly.


    '' Damn it! That bastard dared to use such a treasure! He wanted to kill me!'' Mu Qinglian clenched her fist as she poured all power of her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body into her sword.


    " Four Seasons Grand Swordsy! Interchanging of Four Seasons!"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM!"


    Her sword shes turned from one form to another to another, as the Frozen Winter Sword struck the ck chains.


    Although she managed to cut a few chains,?the remaining chains dispersed, attacking her from different angles. They suddenly increased in strength as they tried trap?Mu Qinglian with a malevolent aura.


    Suddenly, the chains condensed into a giant dark w, which shot towards her without any mercy.


    " Senior Sister! Use my treasure!" Long Ming saw Xia Yuqing was being obstructed by Zheng Li, so he shouted on the top of his lungs.


    Mu QInglian''s eyes shone as a light smile appeared on her face.


    " Thank you, Long Ming."


    The crowd looked at the stage with bated eyes as the battle between Mu Qinglian and Shu Gongyan reached its peak.


    " The Forbidden Life Extinguishing Talisman is very hard to create. Perhaps only a Rune Emperor can craft one."


    " It will devour the strength and blood of use to activate it. However, it can exert the power of a Nine Transformation Realm cultivator or more instantly."


    " I wonder what''s Mu Qinglian going to defend against that?"


    Xia Yuqing''s expression turned dark as she looked at Zheng Li. " Zheng Li, Get out of my way!"


    " Well, You can ask her to surrender. Or wait, neither of you can." Zheng Li grinned as he kept Xia Yuqing blocked.


    However, at that moment, the crowd''s expression changed as when they saw Mu Qinglian taking out a strange orb.


    The Emperor of Holy Qilin, along with the Imperial Family members, all became shocked when they saw the orb in Mu Qinglian''s hand.


    Her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body erupted with brilliance as the orb shone before her with a holy light.


    An image of a qilin''s arm appeared, covered with red and blue scales.


    " Th-That''s! That''s the Holy Spring Pearl of Imperial Qin Family!"


    " Impossible! How could she have that treasure?!"


    Mu Qinglian felt her body drained out of all power. However, the qilin arm swung, crushing the dark wpletely,


    The explosive power was great, making both Mu Qinglian and Shu Changyan knock off from the stage, However, before she fell, Mu Qinglian directed the remaining power towards Shu Changyan.


    " NOOOO!!!"


    Shu Changyan screamed when he saw the pir of holy energy descend on him.


    " DAMN! STOP!"


    Zheng Li''s expression changed as he tried to rush. But the tables have turned and this time, Xia Yuqing stopped him.


    " What is it, Elder Zheng?" Xia Yuqing snorted.


    " You shouldn''t interfere with the match at all."

 Chapter 224 Crippling Shu Changyan

    <h4>Chapter 224 Crippling Shu Changyan</h4>


    Zheng Li''s expression changed as a terrifying aura erupted from his body, condensing into a giant who towered in the sky. With a single step, The giant moved, throwing a fist toward Xia Yuqing with great power.


    Xia Yuqing snorted as she held an ancient sword which was still inside its sheath to block it. The ancient sword burst with tremendous power as it blocked the attack of Zheng Li.


    However, Zheng Li used the chance to get past Xia Yuqing, trying to save Shu Changyan.


    s, It was toote.


    The qillin''s arm descended on Shu Changyan''s body like a war hammer. His Imperial Physique cracked as the holy energy invaded his body, rampaging inside his holy sea.


    Within a second, his body exploded as half of his lower half vanished. Not to mention, due to using the Forbidden Life Extingushing Talisman, his body looked like a dried corpse.


    Mu Qinglian gritted her teeth as she twisted her body,nding directly at the edge of the stage.


    " This match! Saintess of Four Seasons Valley, Mu Qinglian wins!" The announcer shouted, making the crowd gasp loudly.


    " Changyan! Are you alright?"


    Zheng Li held Shu Changyan as he shouted. But as moments passed, his expression turned ugly and more ugly.


    " Yo-You¡­ You are crippled¡­You divine sea is crippled!" Zheng Li spoke in a trembling voice as he tried to heal him, After heating a top ss rank five pills, Shu Changyan''s wounds started to heal. However, he remained unconscious.


    " Yo¡­You fucking bitch!" Zheng Li spoke with seething anger as his eyes turned red, ncing at Mu Qinglian with rage. " How dare you to hurt him?"


    Mu Qinglian was already exhausted. However, she never expected someone would attack her at this moment.


    Suddenly, a streak of dark rays shed across the sky it shot toward Mu Qinglian at an incredible speed.


    It was like someone shot a powerful arrow of dark light, with a powerful killing intent surrounding it. Xia Yuqing''s face fell as she realized she was still a stepte.


    " QINGLIAN!"


    Mu Qinglian felt she was frozen under that aura as she couldn''t even mover her body. A sense of despair filled her body as she looked at it.


    '' Am I going to die? No¡­ It''s too early. I have promised Master so many things¡­''


    '' Also, That idiot Long Ming¡­ I still haven''t confessed to him¡­''


    '' I am so¡­Unwilling.''


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    Mu Qinglian''s body violently trembled as she clenched her teeth tightly. However, after a few moments, she felt there was still warmth in her body, her heart was still beating.


    " Senior Sister, Are you alright?"


    A voice made Mu Qinglian''s heart tremble as she opened her eyes.


    She saw she was in a tight embrace of Long Ming, as he was looking at her worriedly.


    " I am¡­ I am not dead?"


    " How could I let you die?" Long Ming forced a smile, albeit a trace of blood appeared on the corner of his lips.


    The crowd turned silent as a ck feather rose behind Long Ming, which blocked the attack of that strange dark light instantly. With a screech of a demonic bird, the feather exploded, erasing the opponent''s attack altogether.


    " Wh-What just happened?"


    " Yeah? What the fuck just happened?"


    Xia Yuqing felt her heart was thundering when she saw the scene. Seeing Long Ming saved Mu Qinglian, a sense of relief appeared in her heart.


    However, her eyes turned crimson with rage as she clenched the ancient sword''s hilt.


    The attacker was none other than an elder of Sky Martial Tower, who was also at the Early stages of Nine Transformations of Soul Realm.


    He saw Zheng Li''s gesture and attacked Mu Qinglian with an intent to kill. After all, no matter how powerful Mu Qinglian was, there was no way she could defend against it.


    However, before the attack could reach her, Long Ming emerged before Mu Qinglian like a ghost as he waved a dark feather, taking Mu Qinglian into his arms and vanishing once again.


    The dark feather exploded with the terrifying demonic aura of a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm Demonic Beast. The feather cast a shield, which blocked the attack.


    However, the aftershock still got Long Ming.


    '' Finally, My Spatial Light Royal Body finally came in handy.'' Long Ming sighed inwardly as his eyes turned cold. He also never expected that the Sky Martial Tower would disregard the rules of Battle Arena like that.


    " Silly, Are you alright?"


    After getting into Long Ming''s embrace, Mu Qinglian felt all the fatigue piled up on her crashing down, making her body numb.


    " I am alright, Sister Mu." Long Ming spoke in a soft voice. " You did well. You really did well."


    " That bastard¡­ He really hid his cultivation well." Mu Qinglian sighed.


    " Don''t worry. The one who attacked you won''t live long." Long Ming spoke with a cold voice as both of them raised their head.


    " This¡­is¡­Enough!:


    It was like the entire world turning silent as Xia Yuqing drew out her ancient sword. The moment the sword appeared, the sky dimmed, as if everything was suppressed before the sword.


    " That¡­That''s a Heavenly Emperor''s weapon?"


    " No, It''s more like a Blessed Treasure left behind by a Heavenly Emperor. However, its might isn''t to be trifled with."


    " I see¡­No wonder¡­"


    The sword transformed into a heavenly figure, a crimson shadow of a beautiful woman.


    Withese like burning rubies and dress like flowing magma, everyone felt as if they would prostrate before the figure as she held a sword, ovepping Xia Yuqing.


    "Th-That''s! That''s Crimson Sky Heavenly Empress!"


    " No, It''s more like it''s her manifestation of power!"


    " So impressive! Is this the might of a Heavenly Emperor?"


    " Only a hundredth power, yet so imposing!"


    " Damn it! Xia Yuqing! You dare!" Zheng Li''s expression changed as he roared. He tried to muster his strength and block Xia Yuqing, but it was already toote.


    Xia Yuqing raised her sword as a thread of scorching summer qi infused with the sword. The figure of Empress Crimson Sky raised her sword as she made a shing movement.


    An arc of crimson ray shot out, almost ripping the surrounding space like paper. The attack was way too fast, which didn''t let anyone to even bat their eyes.


    Within an instance, the body of the Sky Martial Tower elder vaporized as it was covered with the ming arc of sword qi.


    Zheng Li was about to attack Xia Yuqing, however, he felt the ground shaking.


    " No one can break the rules of the Battle Tournament."


    The entire arena shook as the spirit of the heavenly qilin appeared in the sky, looking down at the figure of Empress Crimson Sky.


    Xia Yuqing looked at the spirit of the qilin and then looked at the Emperor of Holy Qilin, seeing that he already made his move.


    " I understand, Your Majesty. However, I simply retaliate Sky Martial Tower''s provocations." Xia Yuqing spoke lightly as she sheathed her sword.


    The figure of the Empress Crimson Sky vanished, making people breathe an air of relief.


    " His Majesty! It''s unfair! Mu Qinglian crippled Shu Changyan!" Zheng Li shouted.


    " You are talking like Shu Gongyan didn''t use his killing moves to kill Mu Qinglian?" Xia Yuqing snorted.


    " What about the Holy Spring Pearl?" Zheng Li shouted. " How could Mu Qinglian have the treasure of the Imperial Qin Family with her? That''s absurd."


    " Indeed, That''s the treasure of Prince Qin Chen, who is dead." Zheng Li added. " Perhaps, Qin Chen''s death was rted to her?"


    " Is that so?" The Emperor spoke as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    However, at that moment, a voice spoke.


    " Your Majesty, It''s not absurd that we have the Holy Spring Pearl." Long Ming straightened his back as he spoke.


    " In fact, Prince Qin Chen used this item as a bet when he dueled with me in Azure Sun Secret Realm." Long Ming shrugged. " He lost, so it''s natural that he would give the pearl to us."


    " What proof do you have?" Zheng Li snorted. " You are telling lie."


    Long Ming shrugged as he pulled out a recording jade, which showed the scene when Qin Chen asked Long Ming for a duel.


    '' Hehe, What do you think, I don''t know your tricks?'' Long Ming cackled in his heart.


    '' I am a person from the modern world. One needs to keep evidence of everything to win in life.''


    '' Otherwise, Who knows? Once a loving wife would suddenly ask for divorce and alimony saying you harassed her?"


    " So, folks, Always keep your camera and microphone on."


    Zheng Li''s face fell when he saw the scene. And from the scenes of recording Jade, he couldn''t find anything suspicious at all.


    " Your Majesty, Sky Martial Tower''s holy child is crippled. No matter what, I must take revenge!" Zheng Li''s eyes turned cold as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " Your Majesty, Mu Qinglian should also get crippled."


    " Your Majesty, what Elder Zheng said isn''t hical at all."


    " Indeed, Since it''s a breach of Battle Tournament rules, Mu Qinglian should get punished."


    The Sect Master of Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain joined, supporting Zheng Lipletely. After all, this is a golden chance they can''t miss.


    " Impossible! Mu Qinglian did nothing wrong." Xia Yuqing refused to back down.


    " I guess Sky Martial Tower has no faith in their juniors, eh?"


    A voice interrupted everyone.

 Chapter 225 Long Ming Showing Off Strength

    <h4>Chapter 225 Long Ming Showing Off Strength</h4>


    Zheng Li turned around to see who dared to speak to him like that. However, he saw it was none other than Qin Yong.


    " Second Prince, You shouldn''t interfere the matter between the sects." Zheng Li spoke in a cold voice.


    " I am not interfering anywhere." Qin Yong spoke in a light voice. " I just thinking about the rule where the Senior Generation must not engage with the junior generation, no?"


    " His Majesty, I beseech you to continue the Battle Tournament as it was going." Qin Yong bowed before the emperor.


    Long Ming looked at him with a hint of gratitude. '' At least he is trying to help me, even if he had his reasons.''


    " Second Brother, Aren''t getting a bit apathetic?" Another voice rang, making Qin Yong frown a bit.


    " Law has been always impartial, First Brother." Qin Yong spoke coolly as he looked in the direction of the First Prince.


    " But, A promising cultivator like Shu Changyan got crippled." First prince walked out as he spoke. " Who should be ountable for it?"


    " Fists and swords don''t have any eyes."


    " That doesn''t mean one can simply cripple a holy child like that."


    " Enough!"


    The Emperor shouted, making everyone silent. Xia Yuqing already clenched her ancient sword, ready to protect Long Ming and Mu Qinglian if anything happened.


    " There is still Shu Changyan, right?" The emperor spoke casually. " Since Mu Qinglian crippled Shu Changyan, Shu Gongyan can take revenge if he wanted to."


    " A match between Shu Gongyan and Mu Qinglian?" Zheng Li looked at the exhausted Mu Qinglian as he snorted.


    " Indeed, Let the match happen right now. We shall see if the Saintess of Four Seasons Valley is that powerful!"


    " Absurd!" Xia Yuqing refused. " Qinglian is already tired. You wanted her to fight against Shu Gongyan?"


    " Why not?"


    " Well, How about I give a suggestion?"


    Long Ming''s voice echoed, attracting everyone''s attention. " Simply, Let Shu Gongyan tired as Sister Mu Qinglian. Then, it will be equal."


    " And how do you think you will do that?" Zheng Li spoke in a mocking smile. " You think you can fight against Shu Gongyan and make him spend?"


    " Why not?" Long Ming shrugged. " I will fight with him."


    " Long Ming!"


    " How can you say that/" Both Mu Qinglian and Xu Yuqing looked at Long Ming with surprise and fear.


    Especially Mu Qinglian, who simply doesn''t wish to implicate Long Ming in her matter.


    However, Long Ming''s face was resolute as he looked at Zheng Li.


    '' If I defeat Shu Gongyan, then the only opponent I need to face will be Han Cheng. And after I defeat him, I will win the tournament, finishing the quest altogether.'' Long Ming thought inwardly as he spoke.


    After all, no matter what, he will face both of them in the end. So, why not break the tournament chainpletely and reach the destination quicker?


    " Hmph! A pretty boy like you dares to duel with me?" Shu Gongyan walked forward as mes of rage burned in his eyes.


    " You bastards dared to harm my brothers. I will kill all of you."


    " Well, You all heard what he said." Long Ming shrugged. " How about this? This match will be a life and death match between us."


    " A life and death match?"


    " Well, if both participants agree, it''s possible."


    " Hmph! How can I back away from this?" Shu Gongayn gave a mockingugh. " Long Ming, is it? Let me show you the true power of the Holy Child of Sky Martial Tower."


    As both Long Ming and Shu Gongyan got on the stage, barrier was cast around the stage.


    " From now, No one shall interfere with the match between them." The Emperor spoke. " Anyone who dares shall suffer my wrath."


    Shu Gongyan gazed at Long Ming with a gaze full of murderous intent as he looked at him.


    " Tell me, How you want to die?"


    " Me? I have no nning to die today though." Long Mingughed as he showed him a middle finger. " Now, stop yapping ande at me."


    " Hahaha! Ignorant fool! Let me show you the true power of Sky Martial Tower!" Shu Gongyan snarled as he pulled out a spear.


    The spear shimmered with a silver ze under the sunlight, standing straight and proud.


    " Sky Martial Spear Arts! Flood Dragon Thrust!"


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he saw Shu Chanyan swing his spear and make a straight thrust.


    Yet, a powerful and sharp spear intent rose, condensed into an illusory flood dragon, and shot toward Long Ming.


    " Well? Let''s see." Long Ming grinned as he took out a jade bangle and crushed it.


    Suddenly, a vast amount of power covered him, reaching the peak of the Harmonization Realm.


    It was the jade bracelet given to him by the Grand Elder Wu Liang. He still has this and another one he got from another ce.


    But till now, he never used these one time use items.


    " Silkwave Demonic Yin Palm!"


    Fragrant Yin Qi burst from Long Ming''s hand, condensing into a palm made up of fluttering petals of fragrant plum blossoms. The palm controlled by Long Ming''s overwhelming amount of Fragrant Yin Qi as it shot out.


    *ROAAR!*


    Long Ming relied on the power of the jade bangle as the his Silwave Demonic Yin Palm clutched the neck of the flood dragon, pushing it away from him.


    '' Tsk, I already used Elder Ren''s feather to defend against that bastard''s attack. Otherwise, It would be even more effective.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    " Flood Dragons Breaks the Gate!"


    The second attack was even more brutal, as Shu Changyan''s spear multipled. Many flood dragons shot towards Long Ming like angry arrows.


    Long Ming snorted as an divine bow appeared in his hands as his Fragrant Yin Qi charged the Illusiory Lightning Bow charged.


    " Hundred Flower Shot!"


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    Like gatling gun, Long Ming shot the arrows at the flood dragons. The arrows exploded like pink fireworks, with each petal filled with the sharpness and speed of the Intent of Archery.


    " Im=Impossible! Is that Intent of Archery?"


    " Didn''t Long Ming cultivated the sword intent? How can he use the Intent of Archery?"


    Everyone sucked a breath of cold air when they saw the scene.


    Generally, a cultivator reaching the Intent stage of a weapon is already rare and takes years ofprehension and fortune. After that, almost all cultivators tread the path of that particr weapon.


    After all, once invested so much time in your weapon, it''s impossible to reach the intent stage of other weapons unless you are already at a higher realm of cultivator or have the resources andprehension toprehend another weapon''s intent.


    However, To think Long Ming reached the Intent stage of both Sword and Archery made people gasp in awe.


    After all, it tells the heavenly potential Long Ming has.


    Long Ming''s Illusory Lightning Bow made ripples in the air as he managed to shake down all the flood dragons. Even Shu Gongyan was pushed back when he saw hundreds of purple rays shooting towards him.


    " Hmph! Spear Dance Blocks the Rain!"


    Spinning his spear, Shu Gongyan stopped the barrage of arrows above. It created a shield, destroying the arrows which fell on him.


    However, as he tried to see Long Ming, he already vanished from his position.


    " Hundred Flower Shot! Convergence!"


    Long Ming was already high in the air as he pulled the string of his bow, arching it like a crescent moon.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi churned as it condensed into a giant arrow, swirling with a terrifying sharpness.


    He also poured all the power of the jade bangle in his move, shooting it towards Shu Changyan.


    *BOOOOM*


    The arrow disappeared from the bow as it turned into a streak of purple light. It created a sonic boom as it charged towards Shu Gongyan with unparalleled momentum.


    " Sky Martial Spear Arts! Heavenly Gate Break!"


    Shu Giongyan used his move as retaliation as his spear turned into a giant silver pike, colliding against Long Ming''s arrow.


    *BOOOOOM*


    Shu Gongyan got pushed back as he felt the power of Long Ming''s arrow. The powerful aura of Intent of Archery left a lingering fear in his heart, which further fueled his jealousy.


    " Let me show you the true power of my Silver Dragon Spear!"


    The Royal grade spear shone with a cold ray as it transformed, turning into a divine spear with cold silver ray.


    Suddenly, Shu Gongyan vanished as he appeared right before Long Ming. " Sky Treading Steps!"


    The movement technique was simply too fast, only leaving after images. Shu Gongyan thought he can surprise Long Ming with his agility technique.


    However. the moment his spear pierced the chest of Long Ming, he felt something different. It was like he just hit an empty space.


    " What? Are you looking for me?


    A voice shocked Shu Gongyan as a palm struck his back. A soft yet strange energy filled his body, almost crushing his internal body. Without any warning, Shu Gongayn crashed to the ground, aching with pain.


    Looking above, he saw Long Ming flying, with two strange wings made up of lightning and a wing attached to his back.


    " Hmph! You think you can escape just because you can fly?" Shu Gongyan snorted as a blood colored aura covered his body.


    " Th-That... That''s bloodline power!"


    " Oh my god! It looks like it''s a Royal grade Bloodline!"


    " Crimson Sky Flying Serpant''s Bloodline? It looks like that."


    Holding the silver spear, Shu Gongyan now grew a pair of wings as his body was covered with scales. His aura also shot up, making the heaven and earth energy churn.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming''s aura diminished, as the power of jade bangle exhausted.


    " Welp."

 Chapter 226 Trap Card Activated

    226 Trap Card Activated


    Shu Gongyan''s body erupted with a demonic aura as he shot toward Long Ming. He also noticed Long Ming''s aura was dropping.


    '' Perhaps he used some sort of treasure earlier. Now the duration has ended, his power is decreasing!''Shu Gongyan was ted inwardly as he attacked Long Ming with his Silver Dragon Spear.


    Long Ming''s Raging Storm Wing crackled with lightning and storm winds as he vanished from his position, loading Illusiory Lightning with purple lightning infused with wind qi.


    *BOOM BOOM BOOM*


    The Tribtion Lightning qi filled the arrows as they shot toward Shu Gongyan. Shu Gongyan waved his spear, dispelling all the attacks with ease.


    His speed became explosive as his spear tore through the wind, almost hitting the chest of Long Ming. Long Ming used the power of his Spatial Light Physique to teleport behind Shu Gongyan, using his Silkwave Demonic Yin Palm on his back once again.


    However, the scales on his back glowed, turning into soft and sticyer which absorbed the power of Long Ming''s attack.


    The Silkwave Demonic Yin Palm which Long Ming was using was an hybrid of Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm. It contains the force of Yin energy and the concept of Softness, which ignores the hard defense and attacks the soft interior.


    However, the scales on Shu Gongyan''s skin was tough yet flexible like a snake. If Long Ming''s true qi had the power of the Primordial Spirit Unification realm, he could have broken it. But Long Ming was still at the peak of the True Core Formation Realm, so his True Qi was rtively weaker.


    " Hmph! You think the same attack would work on me twice?" Shu Gongyan snorted as he used the rear of the spear to stand Long Ming.


    With a booming sound, Long Ming got sted back, crashing on the barrier. Coughing out, he stood up, looking at Shu Gongyan with a snort.


    " Well, I guess the Royal grade bloodline still got some power, eh?" Long Ming stretched his arms as he cracked his knuckles, looking at Shu Gongyan with a light sneer.


    To create a Royal grade Bloodline, a person needs to reach the peak of the Ancient Lord Realm and incorporate the Grand Dao within their physical body.


    Only after that, their offspring would be able to carry the power of the Royal grade bloodline.


    However, after too many generations, the bloodline gets thinned. So, corresponding treasures and techniques were needed to cultivate to a certain stage before they could awaken their bloodline. And such bloodlines are easier to cultivate than a physique while granting simr power. And Shu Gongyan had already awakened the bloodline to a minorpletion. " Hmph, You already reached the end of the rope. Yet, you are still so arrogant?" Shu Gongyan sneered as he clutched the Silver Dragon Spear.


    The spear intent overflowed as it turned into thick silver snakes swirling around the spear. Shu Gongyan''s body arched as he made a powerful thrust of the spear.


    " Great Dragon Pierce!"


    *ROOOAAARRR*


    The spear tore through the wind as it appeared right before Long Ming. Even the crowd who watched the scene felt like the spear was aimed at them, threatening to pierce them thoroughly.


    However, Long Ming merely took a breath as the aura around him became heavy. Not only the aura, but the entire atmosphere around him became pressurized as his a scenery of myriad green mountains covered by auspicious clouds appeared behind him.


    Each other peaks covered with misty immortal clouds, soaring to the heavens. Just looking at the mirage, one could feel the immense vitality and weight of the mountains.


    " Imp-Imperial Physique?! Long Ming also cultivated an Imperial Physique?"


    " And it''s also to the Minor Completion! Minor Completion Imperial Physique!"


    " That looks like Great Mystic Mountain Physique!"


    Shu Gongyan''s expression changed when he saw Long Ming''s manifestation of his imperial physique. Long Ming took a deep breath as he raised his fist.


    Condensing the power and weight of his body which exceeded a thousand tons, he punched the iing attack of Shu Changyan.


    Long Ming only felt an opposing force as he crushed the attack. However, he didn''t get pushed back.


    " Weren''t you saying something, huh?" Long Ming snorted as his bow vanished. Cracking his knuckles, Long Ming stretched his arms back as he jumped forward.


    The mirage of the mountains was covered with a raging tsunami as it covered Long Ming''s arm.


    " Nine Ocean Ovepping Fist! Wave Parting Fist!"


    *BOOOOM*


    It was like the weight of a mountain merged with the powerful flow of raging water. Long Ming''s fist carried a powerful momentum that almost epassed the entire figure of Shu Gongyan.


    Shu Gongyan''s expression changed as a golden scaled armor appeared on his body, casting a faint glow.


    *BOOOM*


    Shu Gongyan coughed a mouthful of blood when Long Ming''s fistnded on his body. He felt like he got crushed by a mountain of water at great velocity.


    " Tsk, Sky Martial Tower has a lot of treasures, huh? Two Royal grade weapons of Aquired type." Long Ming snorted. " But that still won''t be enough to stop me."


    " How¡­Dare¡­You!!"


    The crimson colored aura intensified around Shu Gongyan as his eyes turned like reptiles. pping his wings, he appeared right before Long Ming. However, Long Ming didn''t stepped back as he fought back with equal intensity.


    " Look! Shu Gongyan is actually burning his bloodline!"


    " That''s bad! If hepletely drains his bloodline, he might never be able to use it."


    " However, look at that power. It''s almost matching the power of Long Ming''s Minor Completion Imperial Physique."


    " That''s because he is also wielding two innate type Royal Grade weapons along with his Royal grade bloodline."


    " Indeed, One is using quantity and another one is using quality."


    Xia Yuqing and Mu Qinglian nced at the stage with concern and awe as they saw Long Ming fighting against Shu Gongyan.


    " This¡­ He really grew up so much." Xia Yuqing bit her lips when he saw Long Ming.


    She always felt Long Ming was theziest disciple of the Four Seasons Valley. She never properly taught him anything other than the basics of Four Seasons Grand Swordsy.


    Long Miong practiced on his own. Yet he already attained so much power that he can fight toe to toe against Shu Gongyan, the prideful saint child of Sky Martial Tower.


    " Bastard! DIE! DIE FOR ME!!"


    " SHUT THE FUCK UP!"


    Long Ming roared as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes pushed to the maximum. He could feel the killing intent of Shu Gongyan but he didn''t hold back at all.


    Long Ming used the Intent of Fire and used his left fist to attack while his right fist attacked with the Intent of Water.


    Fire and Water merged as both fists fell crushingly on Shu Gongyan. Long Ming also deliberately attacked at a single point of oh his armor as he used the heat of Intent or Fire and then quenched it with Intent of Water.


    " Death Rain Spear Strikes!"


    Shu Gongyan''s veins poppled as his spear turned into dar rays, falling on Long Ming like a wall of spikes. However, Long Ming didn''t back as his Great Mystic Mountain Physique became a shield to block it.


    The bombardment was fierce as Long Ming felt his body got pierced from multiple ces. Although he backed away, they were all shallow wounds. However, Long Ming looked at Shu Gongyan''s angered state as he snapped his finger. Activating the Eternal True Spirit Art, Long Ming''s spiritual qi gushed out like a tidal wave.


    " Illusion!"


    Shu Gongyan only heard a snap of a finger as he felt his surroundings shifting. A powerful pressure fell on his soul, making him stagger.


    " Damn it! Spiritual attack?!" Shu Gongyan cursed as he clenched his spear and attacked Long Ming.


    *PUFFF!*


    " Haha! I did it!" Shu Gongyanbughed as he saw the spear pierce Long Ming''s heart blood sttered.Laughing maniacly, He kept stabbing Long Ming more and more.


    " HAHAHA! DIE! DIEEE!"


    Shu Gongyan kicked the body of Long Ming which was lying on the floor. However, turning his body into a bloody mush, he felt something strange.


    " Why? Why aren''t you all cheering?"


    Shu Gongyan turned around and saw the entire arena was empty, without a single soul. Suddenly, a pang of pain appeared in his head, making him bite his tongue.


    Long Ming looked at the soul fragment of the insect demon which was conjured by Shu Gongyan.


    22:49


    " FUCK! ILLUSION!!"


    *BOOOOOM*


    Before he returned to reality, he felt a powerful force crashing down his body. *COUGH!COUGH!!*


    Shu Gongyan opened his eyes as he looked at the blurry scene. Seeing Long Ming alive and well made him angry. But the pain caused him to vomit a liter of blood.


    " Th-That¡­"


    Shu Gongyan''s eyes turned wide when he saw Long Ming holding a chunk of metal. Looking down, he saw a big hole in his Royal grade armor.


    " Well, That armor is nothing morethan a heavy scrap." Long Ming spoke in a chilled tone as he walked toward." What will you do now, Huh? I guess it''s time to end this."


    " Heh¡­HEHEHE¡­"


    Shu Gongyan suddenlyughed as he looked at Long Ming with crimson reptilian eyes. " You think I can''t do anything?"


    " Gongyan!" Zheng Li shouted as he realized what Shu Gongyan wanted to do.


    Shu Gongyan pulled out a small insect totem as he poured all his true blood in it, making it awake.


    Suddenly, the stage trembled as an illusiroy figure a gigantic insect appeared before Long Ming.


    " Feel the power of the Peak Dao Refining Realm power of the Bloodsting Mantis!" Shu Gongyanughed maniacly.


    " Well, It''s still an insect¡­right?"


    Long Ming looked at the soul fragment of the insect demon which was conjured by Shu Gongyan.


    Suddenly, his grin became demonic.


    " You just activated my trap card."

 Chapter 227 Killing And Drinking Wine

    227 Killing And Drinking Wine


    " Is that a Southern Province Soul Invoking Treasure?"


    " Hiss! Aren''t those treasures considered vicious and powerful?"


    " Indeed, Such a treasure needs to be crafted with extreme Yin objects, also with the flesh and blood of powerful demonic beasts, then refined with the soul fragments. And after constant refinement, it will possess the power of that soul, turning into an ethereal entity with the respective realm of cultivation."


    " That insect¡­ That must be a Peak Dao Refining Realm Demonic Insect. It''s power must be immense."


    " Indeed, Not to mention, One can instantly activate it without paying any price."


    " It looks like Sky Martial Tower paid a heavy price to acquire this. But to think it would be used like that in a tournament."


    Many cultivators felt a me of jealousy when they saw Shu Gongyan using such powerful treasures. After all, such burst items can be more effective than a Royal grade weapon at life and death situations.


    However, they were amazed when they saw Long Ming standing without much worry.


    Seeing the wooden toy like treasure turning into a massive insect of Dao Refining Realm, Xia Yuqing''s face turned pale. If it was her, she could have used her Imperial Treasure to fight against that thing. However, defeating it would be slightly uncertain.


    However, to her knowledge, Long Ming didn''t carry any Imperial Treasures or other life saving treasures with him. Even if he cultivated Minor Completion Imperial Physique, it couldn''t defend against the power of the Dao Refining Realm.


    " Long Ming¡­"


    Mu Qinglian bit her lips, enough till blood seeped out from them. Looking at Sky Martial Tower with soaring hatred.


    " If anything¡­Anything happens to him, I swear to the heavens." Mu Qinglian spoke in a cold voice.


    " I will raze down the entire Sky Martial Tower."


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he felt it was truly a coincidence. However, As he remembered reading a certain book in his past life, A very convincing coincidence is perhaps the most dangerous thing.


    '' But, Anyway, I guess this is what people call, Plot armor?'' Long Ming shrugged as he pulled out a ck colored talisman.


    The talisman looked odd as the runic patterns glowed with a pale white light. Long Ming took a deep breath as his spiritual qi surged into the talisman, causing it to shine with a strange radiance.


    " Insect Repent Talisman!" Although it wasn''t a real insect, it had its own breath. Other than being a treasured puppet, the demonic insect isn''t different from a living insect. Therefore, Long Ming believed this talisman might work against it.


    The talisman exploded as a strange gaseous substance like fairy dust spread across the field. Shu Gongyan''s expression changed as he blocked both his physical and spiritual senses, afraiding it''s some sort of poison.


    However, getting hit by that, Shu Gongyan was surprised as he only felt a mid difort.


    *RAAARRRRRR!!!!*


    Shu Gongyan''s expression changed when it saw the treasure he put all his faith in acting much differently than he anticipated.


    The gigantic mantis moved fiercely as its aura exploded, however, it''s target wasn''t Long Ming.


    It was gathering all its power in its w des to cut apart the barrier around the stage, as it was trying to escape.


    Shu Gongyan saw some parts of the mantis start to melt as it was getting corroded by the sparkling mist of Long Ming''s talisman.


    " Ho-How?! How is that possible?!" Shu Gongyan was shocked as he felt his vision was blurring.


    " Fuck! Attack him! What the fuck are you doing!"


    He tried to focus the aggression of the insect toward Long Ming. However, it was trying to run desperately away fromLong Ming, who was still holding the talisman and releasing the mist.


    Long Ming noticed the mist was directly affecting the soul of the treasure, which was an insect. Therefore, even as a treasure, the Dark Gold Grade Talisman was effective on it.


    " Well, I guess there would be no hindrance between us, right?" Long Ming punched his fist on his palm as he walked toward Shu Gongyan.


    He knew that the insect posed no threat to him now. And, since the summon is useless, why not kill the caster meanwhile?


    " Wa-Wait! You can''t! You can''t kill me!" Shu Gongyan roared. " I am the Holy Child of Sky Martial Tower!"


    " Wait! Stop it!"


    Zheng Li roared outside as he wanted to stop the match. He never expected that Long Ming would be able to counter even the Soul Invoking Treasure of a Dao Refining Realm.


    " Haha, Look at him! He is prancing like a clown!"


    " That barrier around the stage is one of the ancient array formations of the Holy Qilin Empire, where Dao Refining Realm cultivators used to fight."


    " Unless they manage to bring out at least 50% power from a Blessed Imperial Trasure, no one can even make a dent on it, unless they are Ancient Lord Realm cultivators."


    " Well, You are the holy child, I understand." Long Ming nodded as his Great Mystic Mountain pushed to the maximum. Each step he took made the earth rumble and opress the air.


    " But the thing is¡­Who asked?"


    *BOOOOM*


    Long Ming''s fist covered with a burst of azure mes as his used the power of Great Mystic Mountain Physique and Azure me Royal Body at the same time.


    " ARRGHHHHH!"


    Shu Gongyan wanted to block the attack of Long Ming. However, Long Ming''s fist arrived before he could even blink.


    The azure me covered the stage like a sea of fire as Long Ming''s mountain like zing fist fell on Shu Gongyan.


    Letting out a heart wrenching scream, Shu Gongyan mmed on the barrier. Half of his body was already mangled badly, like a pile of tangled noodles. Groaning from pain, Shu Gongyan used his spiritual qi to take some healing pills. However, before the pills could enter his stomach, they suddenly caught azure mes, burning into ashes.


    " Well, Why use healing medicines when you are about to die?" Long Ming''s eyes were like a pools of frozen water as he looked at Shu Gongyan.


    " I was really thinking to let you go like this, so Mu Qinglian can finish you off." Long Ming spoke in a candid voice. " However, Then I felt, Why let her sully her hand to cleanse trash?"


    " Wh-What do you- ARRGHHHH!"


    " Azure me Flower Explosion!"


    Long Ming first crushed the body of the Shu Gongyan. However, to make sure, he used the full power of the Minor Completion Azure me Royal Body to burn his body into crips.


    " GONGYAN!!!!"


    Zheng Li felt coughed a mouthful of blood from anger and sorrow when he saw Shu Gongyan''s body slowly dissolve into the fire.


    Long Ming''s eyes became more and more cold as he felt like his mental sanity was slipping.


    He truly didn''t wish to kill Shu Gongyan.However, Long Ming couldn''t hold back at all. He could feel his heart quickeing its pace, his blood already started to boil with excitement of killing, his aura now reeking of a previously hidden bloodlust.


    " Hahahaha, Fuck."


    Long Ming used his Eternal True Spirit Arts to calm his soul and keep his body under control for a few moment as he waved his hands, sneakingly taking away Shu Gongyan''s ring.


    The barrier around the stage vanished as Long Ming started to walk down from the stage. However,before Zheng Li could make his move, Long Ming saw a figure standing before him.


    " Daoist Zheng, I hope you remember the pact of the duel." Grand General Zhou Han stood with a calm face as he looked at Zheng Li.


    " It was a life and death match. Whatever happened was within the rules."


    " Bastard! I will kill him!" Zheng Li''s eyes burned with anger as he looked at Long Ming.


    However, he felt a dozen of aura locking on him, ready to prevent him if he dares to do anything."


    Long Ming gave a snicker to Zheng Li as he turned around and walked toward Mu Qinglian.


    " Hehe, Senior Sister. I am so sorry¡­ I couldn''t resist¡­the urge¡­to¡­Kill¡­ Kill."


    " Long Ming? What happened?"


    Mu Qinglian felt Long Ming''s condition was abnormal when she saw him. Not to mention his slurried speech, the thick amount of killing intent and bloodlust was aplete contrast to Long Ming''s sunny and schrly self.


    " I am¡­Fine. It''s just some¡­After effects." Long Ming clenched his fist.


    " Here, Take this Golden Turtle Rejuvenation Pill." Xia Yuqing hurriedly fed it to Long Ming. " Are you sure alright?"


    The pill''s effect along with Long Ming''s own healing speed, soon healed half of his wounds. Long Ming bit his lips as he calmed the raging murderous thoughts in his heart. With a sudden thought, he pulled out the Heavenly Urn of Frozen me, drinking a great amount of his spirit wine.


    Although he did it to calm his thought, the crowd cheered when they saw that.


    "Look at him! A true man!"


    " Hahaha! Killing your enemy and drinking the wine after the death!"


    " Indeed! I love that move! It''s so vicious and cool!"

 Chapter 228 Sweet Backlash of Killing Again

    228 Sweet Bacsh of Killing Again


    The Four Seasons True Wine inside the Heavely Urn of Frozen me is always in the continuous process of fermentation and refinement. With each breath of time, it bes richer and more intoxicating. Long Ming drank a jar of wine in one go. Even with his powerful spiritual qi, he couldn''t help but get intoxicated instantly, suppressing the effect of Chaotic Murder Heart.


    " Mmngh¡­ This is really getting hard to control." Long Ming let out a light hup as he tried to organize his thoughts.


    Xia Yuqing clenched the ancient sword in her hand as she turned around, scoffing coldly. " As everyone day, the result of the fight was fair and square. Therefore, I hope everyone will uphold righteousness and won''t renege on their promise."


    The faces of the sect masters of Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain turned ugly when they heard Xia Yuqing''s deration.


    Not to mention her power, to think she casually used a Blessed Imperial Treasure without thinking that it would drain out its power. Who knows if she also brought a True Imperial Treasure along with her?


    No matter how weaker the Four Seasons Valley had be, it was still an Imperial Lineage that produced three Heavenly Emperors. That''s the reason why the currently powerful sects are afraid of taking direct action against Four Seasons Valley.


    " Yo-You!!" Zheng Li''s face turned purple out of anger as he stared at the drunken figure of Long Ming. His anger was fueled even more when he saw Long Ming drinking wine as a celebration.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming''s steps were staggering as he walked straight to the camp of Four Seasons Valley, followed by Xia Yuqing and Mu Qinglian.


    Suddenly, many figures surrounded Long Ming as they looked at him with concern.


    " Chen Yin, Look at Senior Brother!" Lin Xie spoke in an anxious voice. " Doesn''t it look simr to the time of the Wine Gathering?"


    " Indeed, Senior Brother¡­" Chen Yin held Long Ming and asked hurriedly. " Brother Long, Are you alright? Is your old disease ring up once again?"


    " Eh? Lin Xie¡­Chen Yin¡­" Long Ming looked at them with drunken eyes as he gave a faint nod. " Eugh¡­You can say so¡­"


    " What happened?" Ming Yuexin pushed the crowd as she asked. " What disease you are talking about?"


    " Oh no! Young Master."


    Xiao''er, who was merely a spectator and cheering for Long Ming, pushed forward and held Long Ming''s arms.


    " Oh, Young Master¡­ It feels like¡­" She bit her lips as she also seemed to remember this strange condition of Long Ming when he killed the woman who came to assassinate them on Solitary Flower Peak.


    " Everyone, I know how to relieve Young Master." Xiao''er bowed as she spoke hurriedly. " Please, Let hime with me."


    "'' N-No, Wait." Chen Yin spoke, " I mean¡­I and Sister Lin also know about the cure. We can also help."


    " Cure? What cure?" Ming Yuexin looked at them with a strange gaze. " What is it? Senior Brother? If you need help with anything, You can just say to me¡­"


    " Uhhh¡­" Long Ming''s mind was in a mess as he looked at the girls. He felt this time, the raging murderous intent was higher than the previous three times.


    " You all four¡­ Come with me." Long Ming simply spoke before his wings spread out, making him disappear from the spot.


    Lin Xie, Chen Yin, Xiao''er, and Ming Yuexin looked at each other with dismay as they followed Long Ming.


    " What the hell is actually happening?"


    Xia Yuqing and Meng Zhi became dumbfounded when they saw the scene. Long Ming''s physical condition was good. Then what was the disease the girls were talking about?


    As Mu Qinglian was also equally confused and wanted to help Long Ming from his predicament, another strange thing happened.


    A radiant light descended as a figure walked out. With delicate skin yet eyes sharp as a pure noble, Jiang Wanxue walked toward Mu Qinglian.


    " Miss Jiang?" Mu Qinglian spoke in a surprised tone.


    " You really made quite a mess, Saintess Mu." Jiang Wanxue couldn''t help but give a light smile. " Even His Majesty the Emperor was baffled when he saw the Holy Spring Pearl with you."


    " However, I wonder if you could provide me the jade recording proving your innocence. The court members wish to verify its authenticity once again."


    " Ah, Long Ming gave me after he showed it to the crowd. Here it is." Mu Qinglian nodded as she gave it to Jiang Wanxue.


    " And¡­ Where is he?" Jiang Wanxue asked, looking around. " His condition didn''t look very well."


    " Yeah¡­" Mu Qinglian spoke absent mindedly. " My junior disciples were saying it was some sort of old disease."


    " Ah, That¡­" Jiang Wanxue seemed to have understood everything as she pursed her lips. " No wonder¡­ I guess it''s what I suspected."


    Thinking about the tine when Long Ming took her forcefully, Jiang Wanxue couldn''t help but feel a shudder of warm breath in herher region.


    It was the same situation when Long Ming was covered with an overwhelming amount of bloodlust after killing so many people.


    " Miss Jiang, You know what''s Long Ming''s suffering from?" Mu Qinglian was surprised as she hurriedly asked.


    " Err¡­ I think I know but¡­" Jiang Wanxue''s cheeks turned rosy when she thought about that. " It''s just¡­Hard to exin."


    " Huh? If you know, just tell me the cure." Mu Qinglian hurriedly asked. After all, she could feel that Long Ming is suffering from a strange aliment.


    " It''s not like I don''t want to tell you¡­" Jiang Wanxue bit her lips as she remembered the scene when Long Ming didn''t let her get up from the bed for an entire day.


    " Ahem, Didn''t you say your junior sisters followed him?" Jiang Wanxue changed the topic. " I guess they know the cure. So, Brother Long won''t be in any danger."


    " Now if you excuse¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue turned around and left hurriedly, making Mu Qinglian stand in cold and confusion.


    '' Ugh, That stinky bastard. How could he have such a perverted disease?'' Jiang Wanxue snorted in her heart as she returned back to the side of the Imperial Family.


    However, a strange desire to help Long Ming to ovee from his condition sprouted in her heart, making her dazed for a moment.


    " Bahh! Bahh!" She hurriedly shook her head in embarrassment. " How can I think about those lewd things?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Long Ming sat in a quarter with closed eyes as he was using the power of the Four Seasons True Wine and Fragrant Yin Qi to calm the violent eruption of his Chaotic Murder Heart.


    " Ugh, No matter how much I try, It''s simply not working at all." Long Ming clenched his teeth, trying to fight off the dark thoughts.


    It wasn''t like an invasion of the foreign forces in his soul. But more like, something which was always a part of him.


    A brutal, cold blooded butcher.


    The door opened as Long Ming saw Ming Yuexin, Xiao''er, Chen Yin and Lin Xie enter. Xiao''er closed the door as Ming Yuexin sat before Long Ming with concern.


    " What is it, Senior Brother Long? What''s happening with you? Are you really alright?"


    " Indeed, It''s pretty¡­embarrassing." Long Ming smiled bitterly as he looked at Xiao''er. " Xiao''er, have you been doing the task I assigned you to do?"


    " Ah, yes, Young Master." Xiao''er nodded hurriedly with a bright smile. " I and Sister Chu Li was doing this the moment the Battle Tournament started."


    " Till now, we have already collected over 30 million High grade spirit stones."


    " Ten million?" Everyone there became shocked when they heard Xiao''er. But Long Ming only smiled as it was under his estimation.


    Xiao''er and Chu Li came with Xia Yuqing to the Holy Qilin City. However, since their current strength was too low, they didn''t participate in the Battle Tournament.


    Therefore, Long Ming assigned them a different task.


    It was to open a betting counter outside the arena.


    Of course, he also took a small permit from the Second Prince as he let Chu Li and Xiao''er handle it.


    And the profit? It was something better than he had expected.


    After all, 30 Million High grade spirit stones aren''t a small matter. Even a middle grade Noble Family might nit have so much liquid fund as 30 Million spirit stones.


    " Haha, You guys did very well." Long Ming nodded with appreciation. But suddenly his body swayed, as Xiao''er rushed to hold her.


    With a swift movement, she took off the robe of Long Ming, as she practiced it countless times.


    " Young Master, Why are you suppressing your ailment?" Xiao''er spoke in a soft voice.


    The touch of Xiao''er made Long Ming''s eyes regain rity. But it didn''t take much time before the rity filled with overwhelming lust as he hugged Xiao''er tightly, kissing all over her soft neck.


    " Mm¡­That''s more likely, Young Master." Xiao''er let out a soft moan as she hugged back Long Ming.


    " Use me as you please."


    " This¡­" Ming Yuexin was dumbfounded as she pointed at Long Ming. " You mean¡­The cure is¡­Sex?"


    " Indeed, Senior Sister Ming." Both Chen Yin and Lin Xie nodded. " Therefore, I think you should leave."


    " Why should I?" Ming Yuexin snorted as she started to take off her clothes.


    " It''s not like our first time anyway."


    " ??!!!"

 Chapter 229 Long Ming Rewarding Four Girls (R-18)

    229 Long Ming Rewarding Four Girls (R-18)


    The Fragrant Yin Qi flowed in the room silently as it was filled with the fragrance of passion of and lust.


    Chen Yin and Lin Xie were shocked when they saw Ming Yuexin''s attitude. " Senior Sister, Ming¡­You also¡­"


    " Ahem¡­ It''s not what you think." Ming Yuexin blushed furiously when she heard Lin Xie and Chen Yin.


    " I was¡­ Affected by an aphrodisiac. So, other than Brother Long, No one else could have helped me." Ming Yuexin spoke in a righteous voice.


    " And after that, I simply fell in love with Brother Long. Why? Is there a problem with it?"


    Looking at her expression, Lin Xie and Chen Yin could feel Ming Yuexin was telling the truth.


    And, Ming Yuexin was indeed telling some truth that she was affected by aphrodisiac. However, she didn''t feel the need to exin that it was deliberate and she didn''t ept any other treatment methods than the traditional way.


    Ahem, now isn''t the time to discuss about that.


    Meanwhile, Xiao''er already took off her clothes as she led Long Ming to the bed nearby. Their lips interwind as Xiao''er could feel the aggressive killing intent and lust washon on her face.


    Moving slowly behind Long Ming, Xiao''er slowly started to knead his shoulders, rubbing Long Ming''s back with her own bare breasts.


    " It''s alright, Young Master. I am here¡­ You just need to get rxed." Xiao''er spoke in a soothing and sensual voice.


    Long Ming closed his eyes as he could feel his tensed body rxing slowly. Xiao''er truly knew all his preferences and acted ording to them.


    " Senior Brother, This isn''t good¡­" Ming Yuexin''s final piece of undergarment slid down from her body as she knelt before Long Ming''s exposed lower abdomen.


    " So, You will enter in a berserk state after killing someone? And only having sex with women can quench your killing intent?" Ming Yuexin spoke in a low voice as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Why didn''t you tell me before?" Sheined in a soft voice. " If that''s the reason, I can always apany you."


    " You can just kill as your heart''s wish and have me afterwards, no?" Long Ming gave a wry smile as he looked at Ming Yuexin, rxed while Xiao''er was massaging his back.


    But before he could retort, Ming Yuexin leaned forward, kissing Long Ming''s passionately.


    Letting a soft groan, Long Ming''s eyes widened as Ming Yuexin took the initiative to kiss him fiercely.


    Not to mention, as her tongue kept his tongue upied, her breasts heaving up and down, making Long Ming''s palm itch to slowly knead them.


    " Hehe, Indeed, Senior Brother cares too much about his face." Lin Xie and Chen Yin grinned as they helped each other to undress.


    " Just ask us, Senior Brother. And we are willing to apany you to gaze at the moon and spring scenery."


    Long Ming could see the swirling Fragrant Yin qi in the room, affecting everyone''s mood potently.


    " Mmngh¡­ Yes, Just like that. You are such a¡­baby." Ming Yuexin gave a stifled moan as Long Ming lowered his head and sucked one of her breasts while kneading another one.


    " It''s the best way to relieve a man''s stress though." Chen Yin grinned as she and Lin Xie sat before Long Ming''s legs.


    " Indeed. Now, I will do something more and suck out all the stress and malevolent thoughts from Senior Brother."


    " Unggh¡­!~"


    Long Ming gasped from pleasure when he saw Lin Xie and Chen Yin using their mouth to calm his raging boner.


    Lin Xie''s tongue neatly peeled the tip of his member, her tongue twirling around the edge and cleaning the spear tip.


    Meanwhile, Chen Yin used her lips and tongue to lick the shaft, all the way to the base of the shaft. Her fingers were yful, fiddling with Long Ming''s jewel sack and lush curly hairs down death.


    Feeling his eager and hardened little brother was getting serviced by two beauties, Long Ming felt his blood boiling from lust.


    " Haah, What a shameless disease you have, Senior Brother." Ming Yuexin and Long Ming''s bodies were grinding against each other as she chuckled.


    " Shameless, you say?" Long Ming snorted lightly as her hands moved downwards. Ming Yuexin let out a gasp as she felt Long Ming''s finger slowly stretching her sacred wall, rubbing around her lips between her legs.


    " Nnnngh¡­Brother Long¡­Don''t¡­ Stop!"


    While Lin Xie and Chen Yin werepeting to sate Long Ming''s member with their mouths, Long Ming and Ming Yuexin engaged in their own passionate battle.


    " Ahnn! Ahnnn! Your fingers¡­It''s so¡­Good!" Ming Yuexin moaned out aloud as she bucked her hips, making Long Ming''s finger mess up her sacred well even more. Long Ming''s fingers were like the fingers of an expert, all the sensitive spots in her were within its each.


    With heavy panting, Long Ming let Ming Yuexin go as he pressed Lin Xie and Chen Yin''s heads down.


    " Haah! Haahhh! I am¡­i am about to¡­"


    " Yes, Senior Brother, Let it out!"


    " Hehe, Indeed, Senior Brother. Just hurry up and let us taste your manly taste."


    Chen Yin and Lin Xie looked at Long Ming with both innocent and yful gazes as both of their tongues were at the base of Long Ming''s shaft, slowly moving upward as if trying to squeeze out everything outside.


    As they felt the throbbing of the meat shaft increased, Lin Xie and Chen Yin saw threads of white fluid staining their lips. " Mnn! It''s so thick and sticky."


    " As expected of Senior Brother. No matter hwat condition, his performance never goes down."


    Long Ming felt he was regaining more control of his body and mind after his first ejaction. However, it''s nowhere near of perfect cure.


    " Well now, Who are you going to pick first?" Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming an interested gaze, her fingers slowly squeezing her breasts to entice him.


    However, Long Ming turned around as he pressed Xiao''er beneath her.


    " Well, I believe the closest maid should have som privilege, no?" Long Ming grinned as his lips roamed over the tender neck of Xiao''er.


    Xiao''er petite body shivered as she could feel Long Ming''s dominance making her wet and aroused more and more.


    " Hehe, What a lucky girl." Ming Yuexin mumbled.


    " Well, I guess Sister Xiao''er deserves it." Chen Yin smacked her lips, tasting the after taste of Long Ming''s essence.


    " Go ahead, Master¡­" Xiao''er arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck as she spoke in an affectionate tone. " I am all yours."


    " AHHNNNN!~"


    Xiao''er gasped as Long Ming''s shaft parted her sacred gates, slowly pushing its way inside. The same feeling of getting connected with your beloved, Xiao''er almost bit her lips from pleasure.


    Her moan made the other three girls even more hot and bothered as Long Ming started to move her hips.


    Unlike his aggressive behavior earlier, Long Ming''s movement towards Xiao''er much slower and sensual, each stroke filled with passion and affection.


    Soon, Long Ming increased her pase, making Xiao''er tiger her embrace around Long Ming and match his strokes.


    The sound of flesh pping with each other, along with Xiao''er sweet moan made Chen Yin and Lin Xie sweaty and wet. Looking at each other, they started to stroke each other, trying to relieve their urges.


    Meanwhile, Ming Yuexin sat cross legged naked, looking at Long Ming and Xiao''er as if she was trying to learn something new.


    " Ahnn! Ahnn!~" Xiao''er moaned in pleaser as she kept yelling Long Ming''s name."


    " Young Master! I am cumming!!"


    Long Ming also gave a deep thrust, as he released his load inside Xiao''er. Xiao''er hugged Long Ming tight as her body shivered from the aftershock of the climax.


    As Long Ming slowly pulled out his shaft, stained with the mixed juices of his and Xiao''er, Chen Yin was the first to make her move.


    " Senior Brother Long, I guess it''s time to reward my hard work in Battle Tournament." Chen Yin showed her perfect rear to Long Ming as she swayed her hips.


    " That''s not fair, Senior Brother Long." Lin Xie protested as she also crawled beside Lin Xie. swaying her hips before Long Ming.


    Two beauties showing their perfect half moon rears before Ming, making him even harder than before.


    " Of course." Long Ming snorted lightly as he positioned himself behind them.


    " Chen Yin did better. So, She will go first." Long Ming grinned as he licked his fingers. " But Lin Xie won''t stay idle meanwhile.


    " Huh?"


    " Ahnnn!~"


    Both Lin Xie and Chen Yin moaned at the same time. One of them felt Long Ming''s throbbing member pushing inside their sacred well, while Lin Xie felt Long Ming''s fingers performing magic inside her pussy.


    Using Ecstatic Cloud Finger to make Lin Xie tremble with pleasure, Long Ming kept pounding Chen Yin from behind.


    " Ahnnn! Ahnnn! Hnnghhh!~ It''s so¡­Big~"


    " Brother Long! Your finger! It''s making me squirt." Lin Xie clenched the bedsheet as she moaned from bliss.


    After pounding Chen Yin for a while, Long Ming switched the ce and started to thrust inside Lin Xie.


    " Ahnn! Ahnn! Brother Long! I am... I am about to..."


    " Brother Long! I am cumming!!!"


    Both Lin Xie and Chen Yin moaned loudly, as Long Ming made the finishing move.

 Chapter 230 Assassin Long Mings First Kill

    230 Assassin Long Ming''s First Kill


    The room was filled with passionate breaths and the low panting of various girls. Xiao''er was sitting cross legged as she was refining the which she received from Long Ming after their dual cultivation session.


    After all, using the Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Arts, Long Ming can devour Fragrant Yin Qi while giving the girl even more potent and refined energy in return.


    Xiao''er felt like she was brimming with a powerful Yang energy inside her. After her session, she sat cross legged, she used the cultivation technique taught by Long Ming, and started to refine it.


    Not to mention it was very easy to refine, the energy was so pure that it was giving the twice result with half of the effort.


    Lin Xie was also doing the same. But Chen Yiny t on the bed, her legs wide apart as thick white fluid kept gushing out from her sacred well.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming and Ming Yuexin were engaged in a fierce battle, their body moved with aggression, yet in harmony.


    *PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP PLAP*


    " Ahnn!~ Ahnnnn!~ Brother Long! You are so¡­ Intense!" Ming Yuexin held the shoulders of Long Ming as she as her legs straddled Long Ming''s waist. Biting her lips, she was on the verge of losing her mind from the pleasure of flesh.


    Long Ming was standing, thrusting wildly while keeping Ming Yuexin lifted. Their tongues were doing a passionate tango as Ming Yuexin''s nectar of life kept spilling out more and more.


    " Haah! Haah! Sister Ming, I am¡­Really sorry to force you like¡­"


    " Shhh!" Ming Yuexin gave a yful nip on the neck of Long Ming, interrupting him sessfully. " Who said I got¡­ Forced?" She panted.


    " I am doing this on my own ord." Closing her eyes, she savored Long Ming''s shaft grinding against her inner walls.


    " Besides¡­" Ming Yuexinined. " We haven''t done this for a while¡­ You are¡­Neglecting me so much, Brother Long."


    " It''s like giving the taste of the forbidden fruit once and depraving someone from it forever."


    With her amazing control, Ming Yuexin managed to sway her body backward, only to impale herself on Long Ming''s rod even more deeply.


    Long Ming''s body shivered by the powerful movements of Ming Yuexin made him even harder than before.


    " Nnnghhh!~ Brother Long, Fill me~ Make me yours and fill me up!~"


    " Haah! Sister Ming, I am cumming!"


    Both let out moans of satisfaction as they hit their climax. Min Yuexin held Long Ming tightly as both their body glistened with sweat.


    Ming Yuexin could feel a rush of warmth in her sacred well, which was getting filled to the brim. Long Ming slowly lowered her body and fell asleep on Ming Yuexin.


    The effect of Chaotic Murder Heartpletely vanished, making Long Ming feel a surge of rxation and pleasure. Taking this opportunity, he fell asleep quickly.


    And resting on the top of a bare, fragrant body of beauty, what else could be moreforting?


    Ming Yuexin was startled by Long Ming''s sleepiness, but a smile spread across her face.


    Pressing her face further on her breasts, caressing his rough hairs lovingly.


    " Haah, Brother Long¡­ How I wish you could be only mine¡­" Ming Yuexin mumbled.


    But then, Thinking about Mu Qinglian, she felt both a surge of guilt and satisfaction. Guilt knowing that Mu Qinglian is oblivious to the rtionships of Long Ming. Satisfaction was for being ahead of her in the race.


    Meanwhile, as Long Ming drifted deep into the realm of dreams, he still retained a bit of his sanity.


    '' Since it''s the third time, am I also going to see more memories of my past life?'' Long Ming thought inwardly as he looked around his sea of consciousness.


    Suddenly, his surroundings changed and he found himself back on modern Earth, like a spectator looking at a scene that happened in the past.


    Seeing the familiar atmosphere, Long Ming felt a sense of nostalgia. However, the scene quickly shifted as he soon found the scene he was looking for.


    " Hahaha! Brother Gao, You are truly ruthless, huh?"


    " Of course. Single handedly, he made the entire Blue Water Shop bankrupt."


    " Tsk, His daughter was pretty fine though." Brother Gao smacked his lips out of regret. " Only if she hadn''tmitted suicide so suddenly, we could have yed with her for a few days."


    " Very true, Brother Gao."


    As the small gang drank and talked merrily, the door of the garage opened and a man walked inside.


    " Hah? Who is it? Didn''t I tell you not to disturb us?"One of the henchmen of Brother Gao snorted as he looked at the neer with a drunken gaze.


    " What? Why aren''t you answering, huh?"The man became angry when the neer didn''t answer him. Walking towards him with a drunken gain, he stood right before the neer.


    " Hey, Bastard, Are you deaf?" The henchman snorted. " Huh? Looking at you, I''ve never seen you before. Where is Ah Gou and Ah Jin¡­"


    The man rubbed his eyes as he looked behind the neer. However, the moment he saw the scene, his blood turned cold.


    " Bastard! How dare- GHUHHH!"


    Before he could scream, the nee moved as his knife pierced the neck of the henchman, making his voice fall short.


    He pushed him aside as blood spurt from the neck of the henchman, afraid of getting stained by it.


    " Bo-Boss Gao! Look there!"


    " Motherfucker! You killed him?!"


    Everyone who were drinkin became rmed as they looked at the young man standing there with a bloodied knife.


    " Fuck! Don''y you know where this ce is? This is my ck Bull Gang!" Boss Gao roared as he pointed at the young man " Bastard, You are finished."


    " Gao Huai, Leader of ck Bull Gang, subordinate of Azure Sky Triad." The young man spoke in a strangely calm yet emotionless voice, as if he was just a machine talking in human voice.


    " You have ckmailed the owner of Blue Water Store, who is the owner of three stores, causing his stores to go bankrupt. His wife and daughtermitted suicide out of fear of yours. And you also tried to kill him¡­"


    " Hahaha! Did that wimp sent you here?" Boss Gaoughed loudly. " Fuck! His daughter really died early. But that doesn''t mean I didn''t enjoyed his wife. A bit old, but passable."


    " And, He is alive, huh? But unfortunately, you aren''t going to make out alive." " Kill him."


    The young man didn''t react much, only clenched his knife tighter. The blood shed on the edge dangerously. He didn''t flinch as five men surrounded him. Boss Gao opened another bottle of wine as he wanted to enjoy the show. However, the wine bottle fell from his hand when he saw the young man turning into a blur.


    Blood sttered on the floor like red pain as cries of agony rang across the room. Boss Gao''s expression turned horrified when he saw the young man killing his subordinate in such a fast and efficient method like a killing machine.


    " Bas-Bastard! How dare you!"


    Boss Gao felt he was going crazy as he pulled out arge knife. His eyes turned red from rage as he rushed towards the young man.


    However, the young man only moved lightly, using his small dager to block all the movement of Boss Gao.


    '' Damn it! He looks so fucking frail! How can he block my strength?!'' Boss Gao screamed in his heart as he tried to push the young man on the ground. However, it was simr to pushing a mountain. The young man''s palm moved as he struck it on the chest of Boss Gao, making his eyes roll from pain.


    With a groan he fell on the ground, a strange pain searing every part of his body.


    " Well, I just wanted to say that you made a big mistake keeping that man alive. If he was dead, he wouldn''t have given me the request to kill you." The young man spoke lightly.


    " I¡­I can give you whatever you want!" Boss Gao shouted hastily. " Money? One million¡­No, Five million! Women, Drugs, Just ask me. I¡­ I will do whatever you want."


    " Then die."


    The young man simply dropped his knife right above the throat of Boss Gao.


    The knife fell, stabbing Boss Gao''s neck like a nail. With a twitching body, Boss Gao tried to pull it out, which he did.


    But blood sprayed out as he felt he couldn''t even groan anymore.


    Looking at the young man with eyes full of hatred and fear, he took hisst breath.


    " Remember, My name is¡­Long Ming."


    The young Long Ming spoke as he retrieved his knife and wiped it. Looking around and destroying all the evidence, he walked out with a calm face.


    " Ten minutes¡­ You took whole ten fucking minutes." An old man was eating melon seed as he looked at Long Ming with a gaze of annoyance. " Thankfully, My melon seed didn''t end. Else I would have broken your fingers."


    " Not bad, You didn''t flinch much after your first killing. Hmm, No, It''s more like a killing spree."


    " Go ahead, If you wanna vomit or get unconscious. I won''t judge." He chuckled.


    " Master, I only have one question." Long Ming spoke in a low voice.


    " Why did you epted the hit from the owner of Blue Water Store owner, I doubt the money he paid was barely the fraction of the money you ept for hits?"

 Chapter 231 Long Ming, The Lord of Life and Death

    231 Long Ming, The Lord of Life and Death


    Poison Hand popped a few melon seeds into his mouth as he looked at Long Ming. " Again, Why are you calling me Master? I am not your Master."


    " As you say, Master." Long Ming bowed lightly.


    " This bastard¡­" Poison Hands looked at Long Ming with a speechless gaze as he turned around and started to walk. Long Ming followed him silently, waiting for his answer.


    " Well, First of all, It was your first mission after we descended from the mountain. I wanted to give you a mission, which is not too easy nor too hard. You know, you need to get used to killing first."


    " But you did well in that aspect." Poison Hands nodded. " As for the owner, Well¡­ You can say it''s fate."


    " I went to collect thetest edition of Hidden Side of Japanese Beauties magazine. As I wasing, I saw he was trying to jump from the bridge and asked him what happened."


    " There, He said he would give anyone two million if they kill that Gao bastard." Poison Hands shrugged. " But two million is nothing for you I presume?" Long Ming interjected.


    " Of course, The collector department of Life and Death Mountain already took him. I am sure we can make more than two millions from his body." Poison Hand spoke.


    " I see. So, there is no peace for that man at all." Long Ming nodded, without showing the slightest sympathy to the owner of Blue Water Store.


    " Well, There is, Actually." Poison Hand spoke. " They won''t be harvesting his organs before showing him the video of you killing those bastards. After he had seen thepletion of his request, he will die peacefully."


    " Oh, That''s rather merciful."


    " I know that, right?" Poison Hand nodded. " Our organization is an ancient organization, doing even more ancient trade of the world. Even we are bound by the Codex of Netherworld, which we can''t defy."


    " After all, Without rules and regtions, an organization would crumble eventually."


    " Now, Let''s talk about your performance." He red at Long Ming. " You took fucking ten minutes to kill only twelve people?"


    " Not to mention, Rather than killing them with precision, you just¡­Just ughtered them."


    " I just got a bit agitated, Master." Long Ming sighed. " I apologized. I won''t make such a mistake next time."


    " Next time? You better don''t." Poison Hands grinned. " Do you know what your next mission is?"


    " What?"


    " Killing a certain businessman. His name is¡­ Long Zhuxi."


    Long Ming''s pupil shrunk violently as his body trembled. His teeth tattered as myriads of memories shed in his heart.


    " When¡­ When is heing?"


    Long Ming asked in a trembling voice. His tone was strange as if it was the mix of malice, hatred, excitement, and fear.


    " Two dayster." Poison Hand crushed the paper wrap and threw it into the dustbin.


    " However, You are only allowed to use your scalper knife. Also, Other than Long Zhuxi, kill everyone without much of a mess."


    " And¡­ Uh, Just make it as an ident."


    Poison Hand added a list of conditions as if they were a test for Long Ming. However, Long Ming didn''t hear anything.


    Only a single thought ran in his mind.


    Kill Long Zhuxi.


    .


    .


    " KHEEUKKHH!!"


    In a mansion, a man ran frantically, his face turned pale from horror and despair. Everywhere, he could see the bodies of his bodyguards and servants lying lifelessly.


    Some got just a small puncture in their neck, some got their necks snapped. There are also those whose hearts got stabbed. Although they are all dead, the killing technique was so fine that it gave an indescribable horror.


    With a bang, he shut the door, panting in the room as he sat on the sofa.


    " This can''t be happening. This can''t be!!" Long Zhuxi wiped his sweat as his chest rose and fell.


    A strange silence filled the room. However, it was soon broken by the sound of approaching footsteps, right outside the door.


    The door knob rotated, making Long Zhuxi even more scared. However, seeing the person outside couldn''t open the door, he was relieved.


    " Fuck! I have already called the police! They would be arriving here at any moment." Long Zhuxi cursed.


    Suddenly, it was silence once again.


    However, with a loud bang, the doorknob was destroyed as a hand pierced through the door like a ghost.


    " AHHHHH!!!!"


    Long Zhuxi screamed as the door opened, and a dark cloaked person walked inside.


    " Why are you getting scared, Uncle?" The young man removed his mask as he spoke with a cold smile. " Can''t you recognize your nephew, Long Ming?"


    " Long Ming? Long¡­Ming?"


    Long Zhuxi''s expression was truly wonderful.


    It was uglier than death, despair¡­Like someone opening a box of surprises, only to find their hands in a pile of hot and stinking shit.


    " Nep-Nephew Long¡­ Wh-What''s the meaning of this¡­" Long Zhuxi asked in a trembling voice. But before he could say anything else, Long Ming knelt before him and stabbed the scalper in his thighs and twisted it.


    " ARRGHHHHH!" Long Zhuxi screamed loudly as his body jerked in pain.


    " Wh-Why are you¡­"


    " Spare your efforts, Uncle." Long Ming spoke in a dark tone. " You killed my parents. You killed the brother who trusted you the most, My father."


    " What do you think I should do, Hm? I wonder¡­How much I should torture."


    " Sp-Spare me¡­Spare me, Long¡­Mi-GAAHHHH!"


    " Well, I don''t going to listen to anything, Uncle." Long Ming sliced his scalper on the cheeks of Long Zhuxi, making thin bloody lines.


    " It''s time to atone your sins¡­"


    " Heeh¡­HEHE¡­"


    Long Zhuxi''s expression turned dark as he felt his escape was futile.


    " Fucking¡­Bastard." He gasped as he spat on Long Ming''s face. " I¡­I should have killed you¡­Along with¡­Them."


    Long Ming didn''t dodge as his grin turned wider, showing all his pearly teeth.


    " Too bad, Uncle. There is no medicine for regret."


    " You see, I have learned a new martial art. It''s called Jade Crushing Yin Pulsing Palm." Long Ming spoke happily. " You know, I never used it."


    " Because, I wanted to use it on your first."


    Suddenly, Long Zhuxi''s eyes turned wide as he felt Long Ming''s palm striking his chest.


    A strange pain pulsed through his body as his inhumane cry rang through his body. He felt like his five viscera and six bowls got reversed.


    " ARRGHHHH! KILL ME! KILL ME ALREADY!"


    Long Zhuxi howled in pain. He felt all his organs slowly failing with extreme pain. He couldn''t feel his muscles at all, nor his bones. It was like his bone also slowly crumbling like cookies.


    His cries betrayed his earlier arrogance as he couldn''t even roll from pain. He just remained slumped on the couch, only moving his eyes.


    " Well, I wanted to torture you more. But, Guess what, I am losing my patience." Long Ming got up and cleaned his scalpel. Holding a button, he clicked it without hesitation.


    " Well, See you in hell, Uncle."


    Long Ming turned around and left, while Long Zhuxi kept begging for mercy of death.


    Soon, with a loud expression, the entire mansion was engulfed with mes.


    Poison Hand was eating melon seeds as he was watching all the scenes on television.


    " Twenty minutes for fifty people. Not bad, You have room for growth." Poison Hand saw Long Ming returning to his side.


    " But minus marks for getting your boots stained with blood."


    " I am sorry, Master." Long Ming spoke. " What? Aren''t you feeling a bit excited? You killed your archnemesis and the killer of your parents." Poison Hands joked.


    " I don''t know¡­ I don''t know." Long Ming''s eyes were hollow as he looked at the sky. 12:24


    " I feel¡­So, Empty."


    " Well, That''s the feeling for rookies. Don''t worry, You will get used to it." Poison Hands threw a token at Long Ming, which he caught.


    " This is your identity token. Wee to the Mountain of Life and Death, officially."


    " You already received money in your bank ount. Now just go and rx for a week." Poison Hands turned around.


    " I hope you reach the silver rank within a month."


    Long Ming looked at the token for a moment. When raised his eyes back, he saw Poison Hands already disappeared.


    Taking a deep breath, Long Ming went to a funeral shop and burned some joss paper for his parents. Then donated half of his money for the welfare of impoverished children and old folks.


    " I do not dare by virtue for my sins like this."


    Long Ming saw the paper money''s ashes scattered around.


    " I just hope you have a better afterlife, Father¡­Mother."


    Long Ming saw all the memories of young Long Ming like a spectator, his heart clenching with a strange pain.


    And from that day, he saw the rise of Long Ming in the Mountain of Life and Death.


    Long Ming, The Unseen de and the Future King of Assasins, the Lord of Life and Death.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " HAAAHHH!"


    Long Ming''s eyes snapped open as he gasped out, getting up with cold sweat all over his body.


    Seeing the girls around him already fall asleep, he couldn''t help but calm his raging heartbeat.


    " That''s¡­My past?"

 Chapter 232 Match Ended?

    232 Match Ended?


    Long Ming yawned as he stretched his body. When he walked outside, He rxed in the living room with a small cup of wine.


    " Why do I feel my past life was more tangled than my present life?" Long Ming gave a bitter smile as he took a small sip of wine.


    However, He couldn''t help but feel the surge of sorrow and sadness when he recalled all the scenes. The death of his parents, the death of his butler, His transformation into a cold blooded monster by Poison Hands, and killing his uncle Zhuxi, everything was too much for current Long Ming toprehend.


    '' But at least I killed that bastard. I avenged the death of my father and mother.'' Long Ming clenched the cup in his hands as he thought inwardly.


    Looking at the sky outside, he couldn''t help sigh.


    In his past life, he had a strange body physique called Profound Yin Eclipse Body. The possessor of this body won''t be able to live past the age of twenty.


    However, due to Poison Hands'' experimentations, Long Ming''s body transformed into Jade Venom Yin Body. Not only did his life expectancy increased, his body became a living chemical weapon.


    With a single scratch, he can kill someone with the natural poison in his body. Not to mention, if also gives him a terrifying aptitude as a martial artist.


    But everything for what?


    Long Ming walked in the path of an assassin, killing countless people with his hands. There was no joy or sorrow in his heart anymore, just a mechanism to ept tasks and kill his target.


    Long Ming remembered the faint voice he heard when he killed the first person in this world.


    '' Don''t¡­Kill¡­ Live¡­Normally.''


    Now he realizes who said that.


    '' Was that you, My past self?'' Long Ming sighed as he closed his eyes. '' Do you want me to pick a different path? A path where I don''t have to be a ruthless killer like you?''


    '' I see¡­ It was me all along. It was me who wanted to stop myself from descending into darkness once more.''


    Long Ming gave a bitter smile as he shook his head. As he cleared all thoughts from his head, the door opened and Mu Qinglian walked inside.


    " Yo-You are here!" Mu Qinglian was surprised when she saw Long Ming.


    He was sitting half naked and drinking wine, he looked very absent minded as if he was lost in thoughts.


    " Un, Senior Sister Mu?" Long Ming woke up from his stupor as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " What happened? You look alright now." Mu Qinglian noticed Long Ming''s strange cold and merciless killing intent vanished without a trace.


    " Yes, I am alright now." Long Ming gave a wry smile. " I apologize for making all of you worried."


    " It''s alright, Long Ming." Mu Qinglian nodded as she sat before Long Ming. " Besides, Thank you for helping me too."


    " I just did what I was supposed to do. There is no need to thank me." Long Ming waved his hand.


    " Well, I thought you just wanted to beat up Shu Gongyan enough, so I can fight with him with equal strength?" Mu Qinglian gave an amused smile. " Why did you kill him?"


    " What can I say?" Long Mingughed loudly. " Someone people just court death too good. I have to grant their wishes, right?"


    " En, You should have seen the expressions of Sky Martial Tower''s elders and disciples. Not to mention, Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain also behaved like someone fed them a pile of fresh shit."


    " Senior Sister, I thought you never cursed?" Long Ming was a bit taken aback. " Where is your elegant and charming demeanor?"


    " Hmph, It''s only you here." Mu Qinin leaned back on the sofa leisurely. "Also, You won''t tell anyone about this, right?"


    " Besides, Where are Sister Ming, Chen Yin, Lin Xie, and Xiao''er?"


    " Uhh¡­"


    Long Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " They all are resting after helping me to suppress my ailments. So, you shouldn''t disturb them."


    " Is that so?" Mu Qinglian''s nose twitched as he looked at Long Ming. " Why do I feel the scent here is strange? It smells funny and a bit¡­too feminine¡­ It seems like I have smelled this thing in Eternal Spring Tower¡­"


    " ANYWAY!" Long Ming draped a robe and dragged Mu Qinglian outside.


    " I wanted to know how much time has passed?"


    " Around eight hours?" Mu Qinglian rolled his eyes. " Don''t worry, Today''s ceremony has ended. The final participants who will fight for the rank one positions are¡­"


    " Long Ming and Han Cheng."


    " I got straight to the finals?" Long Ming was surprised when he heard that. " What about you, Senior Sister Mu?"


    " Well, I have already exposed my strength. I don''t have much trump cards." Mu Qinglian spoke. " Not to mention, I actually got disqualified along with Shu Changyan."


    " That''s absurd." Long Ming snorted. " The Imperial Family was doing this to appease the Sky Martial Tower."


    " It looks like you know." Mu Qinglian smiled. '' Besides, You are qualified for the finals. It''s already a win for the Four Seasons Valley."


    " Han Cheng is strong, you have to be careful." Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming.


    " It will be held after two days, so both parties can fight in their peak conditions." " However, You don''t need to push yourself into danger like now."


    " Just give your best, Long Ming. You already did a lot for our sect."


    " Mm¡­Thanks for thepliment, Senior Sister." Long Ming smiled brightly as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " En, It''s alright." Mu Qinglian nodded. " You should go and rest."


    " You should too, Senior Sister."


    However, Long Ming couldn''t be bothered to take a rest as he could feel his body waspletely rejuvenated.


    Sitting on the chair, he took out the spatial ring which he took from Shu Gongyan. Although it was locked after his death, Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, His knowledge of runes, and inscriptions to crack it slowly.


    After cracking, he used his divine sense and saw the contents inside. He was shocked when he saw a mountain of high grade spirit stones, various weapons and treasures, and medicinal pills inside.


    " Not bad, He was the saint child of Sky Martial Tower. He carried all sorts of treasures, huh?" Long Ming mumbled as he casually nced through all the treasures.


    " Huh? What''s this?"


    He found a heavy metal box. Out of curiosity, he opened it. Long Ming''s eyes widened when a multicolored ray seeped out from the box, making the space around it distort.


    " This¡­ This is a box full of Spatial Heart Crystals?" Long Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw that.


    The Spatial Heart Crystals, as its name implies, are crystals filled with spatial energy. Unlike the chaotic spatial energy, the spatial energy of the Spatial Heart Crystals is very pure and stable. These are also used to create powerful space attribute talismans beyond Earth grade.


    Long Ming was having trouble finding space attribute treasures that could help his Spatial Light Physique to reach the Minor Completion stage.


    " Hahaha! I am really lucky. To think I will find so many high grade Spatial Heart Crystals right here." Long Mingughed loudly.


    " Thank you, Shu Gongyan. I hope you will spend one day less in hell due to your help."


    Long Ming put the box away as he got up. Since he got two days off, he wanted to spend some time exploring the Holy Qilin City.


    Therefore, He first went to the Royal Alchemy Garden. After all, He already got a token from the Elder Xu, so He cane and go from the Royal Alchemy Garden as he wishes.


    However, Arriving there, He saw an unexpected person there.


    " Han Cheng?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Two days passed as the crowd was eager to witness the legendary match between Long Ming and Han Cheng. They were already thrilled to see the fight between Long Ming and Shu Gongyan.


    Therefore, everyone was eager to find out the true strength of Long Ming and Han Cheng.


    " Who do you think will win?"


    " I mean, Long Ming has a Minor Completion Imperial Body."


    " But Han Cheng also didn''t show his full strength."


    " Yeah, Are you forgetting he is from Heavenly Cloud Pce of Central Province?"


    " The betting is on! Hurry up and bet." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " Look, It''s 2:8 odds. We can win eight times our money if Han Cheng wins."


    " Is that so?"


    Even the Emperor became interested as he gazed at the stage.


    As Han Cheng and Long Ming stood on the stage, they looked at each other with a smile.


    " Alright, The match begins!"


    Long Ming''s body moved as his palm struck Han Cheng''s chest.


    Han Cheng let out a painful groan as he crashed outside the stage. With a struggling arm, he shouted.


    " Ahh, I am in so much pain¡­Uh¡­I guess I will admit defeat."


    Long Ming nodded. " Yes, I won."


    The match referee: ????


    The Emperor: ???


    The crowd: ???

 Chapter 233 The Secret Behind the Winning

    233 The Secret Behind the Winning


    " Err¡­The match."


    The referee of the final match was none other than Wei Heizhu himself.


    Even Wei Heizhu was sweating crazily as he looked at Long Ming and Han Cheng with confusion.


    " Elder Wei, Hurry up and dere the match result." Long Ming urged.


    " Indeed, I have fallen from the stage. So¡­ I already lost." Han Cheng spoke.


    " Yes¡­So¡­ The match ends." Wei Heizhu coughed as he shouted.


    " The winner of the Battle Tournament is¡­Long Ming of Four Seasons Valley!"


    The crowd remained silent for a moment till the disciples of Four Seasons Valley cheered.


    " Yay! Brother Long did it! He won!"


    " Hahaha! I knew it! Brother Long!!"


    Even Xia Yuqing was stunned when she saw the scene. Although she was happy to see Long Ming bing the champion of the Battle Tournament, she was too baffled to see the process of winning.


    But the crowd became crazy when they saw that.


    " Cheating! This match is a scam!"


    " Yes! This is a scam! Refund! Refund my betting money!"


    " HAHAHA! I won! I betted on Long Ming!"


    " Me too brother! Haha, I doubled my money!"


    The Emperor''s eyes turned cold when he saw the scene. But even he was helpless when he saw the match result. No matter how absurd the match was, there was no doubt about the result. Long Ming had won rightfully and no matter how much fuss someone caused, it was futile.


    " Well, Since the match is over, The reward ceremony will happen shortly."


    Amidst the chaos among the crowd, Long Ming put his arms on the shoulder of Han Cheng as he guided him to the camp of Four Seasons Valley.


    " Well, Brother Long, I hope you brought the thing which you have promised." Han Cheng looked at Long Ming as he looked at him.


    " Of course, Brother Han, I am a man of my words." Long Ming nodded as he looked at Chen Yin. " Chen Yin, Did you brought the thing I asked you to brought from the sect?"


    " Haah, I had to spend money to use instant teleportation talismans to rush back to the sect and reach back in time." chen Yin sighed as she handed Long Ming a crystal bottle. " But, I managed to get it."


    " Thank you, Chen Yin. You are a great help." Long Ming grinned as he took the bottle and passed it to Han Cheng.


    Han Cheng opened the bottle and his eyes shone with a bright light. " This¡­This is indeed a bottle of True Blood of Three Transformation Xuan Turtle!"


    " Well, What''s now?" Long Ming grinned. " Didn''t I promise you? Now, Are you happy?"


    " Although I am happy, I will be happier if you also keep your second promise." Han Cheng looked at Long Ming as he spoke.


    " Of course, I will do it too." Long Ming nodded with a smile. Han Cheng nodded as he turned around and left.


    " This¡­ What the hell happened?" Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming with suspicion.


    " Well, Everything happened two days ago¡­"


    .


    .


    Two days ago, Long Ming was strolling in the Royal Alchemy Garden when he saw Han Cheng.


    " This Han Cheng, What is he doing?"


    Long Ming was curious as he secretly followed him. Han Cheng spent some time on the reception counter of themission hall before turning around to leave.


    After he left, Long Ming went to reception desk and showed his token.


    " Sister, That young man named Han Cheng, What was he doing here?"


    " Ah, He?" The girl sitting at the reception desk nodded. " He just put amission here."


    " What sort ofmission?"


    " A vial of true blood of a Xuan Turtle that must havepleted at least two transformations."


    Long Ming was shocked when he saw the rewards of themission.It was actually a million high grade spirit stones! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    '' Damn it! Han Cheng is really rich. No, It must be from the Heavenly Cloud Pce.'' Long Ming mumbled inwardly.


    Look at Heavenly Cloud Sect! Even a disciple is carrying a million high grade spirit stones.


    And here, Long Ming is still being the breadwinner of his sect.


    But at least, Four Seasons Valley was filled with beauties. So, Long Ming didn''t have manyints.


    But after that, Long Ming remembered that he got a Three Transformations Xuan Turtle from the Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    So, Long Ming rushed to Han Cheng to inquire about it.


    " Huh? Young Master Long, What a surprise." Han Cheng looked at Long Ming with a surprised gaze.


    " Why are you looking for the true blood of a Xuan Turtle?"


    " Uhh¡­ That." Han Cheng was a bit skeptical when he heard Long Ming asking about it, but he nodded.


    " Because I need to it refine the Ancestral Blood Pill of rank six." Hna Cheng answered.


    " What if I say I can give you a v of blood, of three transfomations Xuan Turtle?" Long Ming spoke.


    " What? Three Transformation one?" Han Cheng was surprised. " They are too rare to find. Brother Long, If you give it to me, I will give you its appropriate price."


    " N-No, I don''t need much price." Long Ming grinned. " I just need you to do one thing. I wonder if you think it''s worth of a vial of true blood?"


    " What is it, Brother Long?" Han Cheng asked in a curious voice.


    " Lose the match tomorrow."


    Han Cheng was taken aback when he heard that. " Brother Long, Are you afraid you will lose to me?" He couldn''t help but let out a dryugh.


    " But your strength is very good. You shouldn''t be that afraid."


    " I am not afraid, Brother Han." Long Ming shook his head. " I am just toozy to fight you."


    " ¡­ "


    Han Cheng looked at Long Ming with a speechless expression when he heard that. Toozy to fight? Bribing the opponent because you are toozy to fight.


    " But that''s very hical¡­"


    " Brother Han, I know you are a battle maniac." Long Ming smiled. " But imagine, won''t it be fun if we fight one yearter? We would have grown more powerful and acquired more treasures. The fight would be much more exciting than the current one."


    " So, How about this? If you want to prove yourself, we can fight a yearter."


    Han Cheng was shocked when he heard Long Ming''s proposal.


    " Also, I don''t think the prize of first ce is that alluring for you. But if you want, I can think about it to exchange it with you."


    " So, Are you still unwilling?"


    Han Cheng fell into deep thought when he heard that. He had been searching for the true blood of Xuan Turtle for a while. And now he had found it, a new situation rose.


    He didn''t believe Long Ming was trying to ask him to admit defeat because he was afraid. But it was even more absurd that he didn''t want to fight because he waszy.


    Therefore, Han Cheng nodded.


    " But how would I know if you are deceiving me?"


    " I promise on my dao heart." Long Ming spoke in a solemn voice." After you admit defeat, I will give you the vial right there.


    And, Just like that, Long Ming bought his final opponent.


    In fact, Long Ming wasn''tpletelyzy to fight off Han Cheng. But he was afraid what if Han Cheng would pull out some powerful treasures like Shu Gongyan''s insect figurine.


    Just because Long Ming had the Dark Gold grade Insect Repellent Talisman, he was able to win the match. If it wasn''t there, it was hard to tell if Long Ming had won.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Really? You bribed Han Cheng just because you didn''t wanted to fight him?" Xia Yuqing was stunned as she looked at Long Ming with a strange gaze.


    " Damn it, that sounds so¡­Strange." Mu Qinglian spat. " Why you used such an underhanded method?"


    " What underhanded method?" Long Ming snorted lightly. " I just used a different tactic to make my opponent surrender. Not to mention, such a win is more of a face p for all our enemies."


    " Indeed, Brother Long is so smart! I agree with it."


    " I can''t see Brother Long doing anything wrong."


    All the female disciples surrounded Long Ming as they started to support him, making Long Ming grin with triumph.


    " Hmph! Silence!"


    Mu Qinglian shouted, making all of them silent at once. " You guys had been faithful to me for years. Yet now, you are all sucking up to Long Ming who barely came here for months?"


    " But sucking Brother Long off¡­It''s kinda tasty though¡­" Lin Xie mumbled.


    " What did you say?"


    " Ahh¡­I said, Brother Long is so good¡­" Lin Xie hurriedly changed her words. " But don''t worry, Senior Sister Mu. We are all still loyal to you."


    " That''s more like it." Mu Qinglian nodded with a smile.


    Xia Yuqing sighed as she saw everyone was still cheering for Long Ming.


    " Meng Meng, Tell me I am not dreaming." Xia Yuqing looked at Meng Zhi. " We... We really won the Battle Tournament?"


    " Yes, Sister Xia." Meng Zhi pinched her, making Xia Yuqing push her aside. " Gosh, You are pinching too tight!"


    " Anyway, Since we have bested all the sects..." Meng Zhi gave a devilish grin. " Doesn''t that mean we all won the betting of cultivation resources?"

 Chapter 234 Quest Completion And Profit

    234 Quest Completion And Profit


    " Everyone, The list of Battle Tournament is out!" Wei Zhu announced as a ball of light shot upwards, unfurling into a gigantic scroll that spread across the sky.


    The first ce was naturally captured by Long Ming, as his name shed with a bright golden radiance. The second ce belonged to Han Cheng while the third ce belonged to Mu Qinglian.


    The fourth and fifth ces belonged to Ling Yuan and Shu Changyan.


    Well, Shu Gongyan''s name is supposed to be on the third but since he is dead, there is nothing that can be done.


    " For those who are below rank ten and among the top fifty rankings, each of them shall receive Fifty thousand High grade spirit stones along with a bottle of rank four Primordial Spirit Enhancing Pill."


    " For those who are in the ranking from tenth position to fourth position, All of them shall receive a hundred thousand High grade spirit stones."


    " Other than that, They will be able to cultivate in the Imperial Family''s Blood Qilin Spring for three days."


    " For the top three rankers, They will get 200,000 High grade spirit stones, with five days of cultivation in the Blood Qilin Sacred Spring."


    " For the champion, He shall receive Seven Days of cultivation in the Blood Qilin Sacred Spring. Other than that, He can choose a treasure or technique from the Imperial Treasury."


    " Also, His Majesty The Emperor shall also bestow him with a gift."


    Soon, everyone lined up as they received their rewards. Long Ming felt a bit awkward when the Emperor descended right before him.


    " Long Ming, Is it? I guess you really put up a tough fight in the finals." The Emperor smiled, but Long Ming could feel that dripping sarcasm.


    " What a spectacr fight indeed."


    " His Majesty is embarrassing me¡­" Long Ming lowered his gaze and tried to make the situation less awkward.


    '' So, You chose the camp of Qin Yong, Huh?''


    Long Ming felt goosebumps on his body when he heard the Emeperor''s voice in his heart.


    '' His Majesty, I can''t understand what you are saying¡­'' Long Ming answered him with his mind. '' Well, No matter what you say, You have already embroiled yourself in this mud.''


    The Emperor snickered, but outwardly, he was patting Long Ming''a back with praise.


    '' Now, I sincerely pray you do not get killed by your enemies.''


    Long Ming''s expression became speechless when the Emperor let him go with a smiling face.


    '' This bastard¡­'' Long Ming couldn''t help but curse at him.


    [ Ding! Hostpleted the mission and got first ce in the Imperial Battle Tournament! Host received 1x Star tinum Grade Chest!]


    [ Ding! The System''s Beta Testing Period is over! Unbinding From Host!]


    [ Farewell, Fellow Daoist! Always remember, Only a firm dao heart shall reach the apex!]


    [ Don''t forget to give evaluation!]


    Long Ming saw the screen shing as a Star tinum grade chest was added to his inventory.


    " Well, This system took quite a long beta testing time." Long Ming nodded as he thought about the demerits of the system.


    " First of all, the quests weren''t consistent. Like, there should be some daily goal quest, then some evaluation quests too which would give more rewards."


    " Then, Make the interference a bit better, please. Also, better to make a stat screen for being user friendly."


    " Also, Rather than giving powerful rewards in long intervals, it''s good to give smaller but gradually increasingly powerful treasures in small intervals."


    " Other than that, This system is perfect and mostly bug free." Long Ming gave a thumbs up, " You can directly roll out with it."


    [ Ding! Constetion Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is thanking you for your review]


    [ You received 100 Star Coins!]


    [ The Infinite Star Roullete has been activated. The next system selection shall happen soon]


    Long Ming''s eyes became bright as his moon was naturally good. After all, Star tinum Grade Chest also has a slim chance to wield a Divine grade treasure.


    But even if he doesn''t get a Divine grade treasure, Long Ming is happy with a Star tinum grade treasure.


    Looking at Mu Qinglian, Long Ming grinned. " I say, Senior Sister. Shouldn''t we celebrate the moment?"


    " Of course." Mu Qinglian chuckled. " You should go and start cooking."


    " What??" Long Ming was baffled. " Why should I go and cook? We can eat in the Yuxing Tower though? They serve the best food in the Holy Qilin City."


    " But, I feel you can cook better though." Mu Qinglian pouted. " What? You don''t want to feed your senior sister?"


    " Hehe, If Senior Sister wishes, I can feed her for a lifetime." Long Ming spoke in a proud voice.


    " But, you need to marry me first. Then your little husband will cook delicio- He-Hey! Why are you pulling out your sword?!"


    " Hmph! I must cut that slick tongue of yours today!" Mu Qinglian chased Long Ming, but her lips curled into a satisfied smile.


    '' En, Rascal¡­You better propose me properly.''


    " Haha, Brother Long, You are really a sneaky bastard." Ling Yuan saw Long Ming as he couldn''t help but snort. " You didn''t use your Imperial Physique against me, Why?"


    " Well, You also didn''t use your fully powered Sword Heart and Royal grade physique against me¡­" Long Ming grinned.


    " Hmph, You better give me the paintings. Otherwise, I have to forget our brotherhood." Ling Yuan spoke in a threatening voice.


    " Painting? What sort of painting?" Mu Qinglian became curious when she heard that.


    " Err¡­ Swords! Yes¡­ Painting of spears and flowers." Long Ming spoke suddenly, making Ling Yuan almost choke.


    " What do they do?" Mu Qinglian asked again.


    " This¡­This is a legendary martial arts." Long Ming answered without any hesitation.


    " The men would hold their spears and aim at the women''s flowers. The spear must pierce the flower, yet it will be considered as invalid."


    " Ah, You mean basic movements like spear thrustings?" Mu Qinglian felt a bit suspicious, but she nodded. " Huh? Brother Ling, Why are you trembling?"


    Ling Yuan felt he was almost going to faint from embarrassment. " I¡­ I was just feeling a bit unwell¡­" He spoke while suppressing hisughter. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Senior Sister, Why don''t you go and meet Master? I shall be right back."


    " Alright¡­"


    Ling Yuan saw Mu Qinglian leave and punched Long Ming yfully. " Spear piercing the flowers, huh? Brother Long can truly speak some flowery bullshit."


    " So what?" Long Ming rolled his eyes. "Should I have told her that I am making erotic paintings for you?"


    "Hehe, Don''t do that, My good brother."


    Ling Yuan grinned as he looked at Long Ming. " Well, After this, We are probably going to meet in the Blood Qilin Scared Pool."


    " What exactly is the Blood Qilin Scared Pool? Why everyone is excited about it?" Long Ming couldn''t help but ask.


    " Well, The Blood Qilin Sacred Pool was said to be left behind by a True Qilin, whose strength could beparable to the peak of Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivators, just a step below Heavenly Emperors."


    Lung Yuan looked at Long Ming as he exined. " Not only it will remold your body and make your physique better, but it will also refine your true qi and make your talent grow even further."


    " Just you know, The Qilin Statue we faced in the second round was something which kept in the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool."


    " Also, It remains closed throughout the years. Even in the past Battle Tournaments, they didn''t open the Blood Qilin Sacred pool. And even they did, it didn''t remain open more than one day."


    " So, Brother Long, Seize this chance and improve your cultivation." Ling Yuan''s voice turned low as he whispered.


    " After all, Although everything is looking calm¡­there is a lot of undercurrent flowing in the Holy Qilin Empire, along with the entire Eastern Province."


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed when he heard that. " I will remember that, Brother Ling."


    " Well then, Let''s go." Ling Yuan held Long Ming and dragged him away. " After all, You owe me a treat. You are the champion of the Battle Tournament after all."


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Vision Eyes activated as he looked at his surroundings.


    He could see the ashen face of Sky Martial Tower. Especially Zheng Li, Who was looking in the direction of the Four Seasons Valley with murderous intent.


    Not only them, but the Blissful Heaven Temple and the Green Cloud Valley were also trembling with rage and helplessness.


    After all, not only did the saint children of Sky Martial Tower be useless, but Long Ming managed to be the champion of the tournament, making them face immense loss.


    But then, It was none of Long Ming''s concern as he walked back to the pavilion of Four Seasons Valley.


    " Well, What is it, Sister Meng?" Long Ming asked with an interest. " You look so happy and¡­Busy?"


    " Well, Nothing, My dear little brother." Meng Zhi grinned. " I am just calcting the amount of spirit stones mine, abodes, ore veins, and other things we managed to win from the betting from the sects."


    " What? Bets?" Long Ming was baffled when he heard that.


    Does that mean it wasn''t only him who was making a profit from the Battle Tournament?

 Chapter 235 Blood Qilin Sacred Spring

    <h4>Chapter 235 Blood Qilin Sacred Spring </h4>


    Cultivation resources, be it spirit stones, special metal ores, medicinal herbs, or demonic beast ranges are important for a sect to remain standing.


    However, the resources don''t grow like the growth of cultivators as they were limited. And, that''s the reason which ensues the fight between sects and powerhouses.


    But then, unnecessary bloodshed will simply weaken a region. And when a region is weakened, the external forces might simply start an invasion.


    Therefore, the process of bettings were established as they betted the resources of their sect with other resources. Competitions like the Imperial Tournament were one of the ces where such bettings happened.


    They betted on the results, about which sect disciple will upie most spots. And this time, Four Seasons Valley got the first ce, while Six Sword Pavilion and Violet Cloud Sect got second and third ce.


    Sky Martial Tower didn''t participated much, but the Four Seasons Valley managed to get a High grade spirit stone mine from them.


    " Haha! Little brother, Oh my dear little brother." Meng Zhi held Long Ming as sheughed. " You should have seen the faces of that Li Shuimei and Qing Muxiao. Ahahaha!"


    " Well, Tell me the truth, Sister Meng." Long Ming nced at her. " How much did you rip off from them?"


    " What do you think?" Meng Zhi gave a smug grin. " Well, I got three spirit stone mines, Three ore veins and almost a dozen stores from them."


    " Also, I managed to close the Blissful Tower for a whole year. Ahahaha! Only our Eternal Spring Tower shall stand tall."


    Long Ming had goosebumps all over his body when he heard Meng Zhi''sugh.


    '' I guess Sister Meng is excessively protective of her business. No way she would tolerate Blissful Heaven Temple''s interference.''


    " Well, What should we do now?" Long Ming looked at Xia Yuqing. Xia Yuqing nodded. " Well, I got the message now. They will take us to Blood Qilin Sacred Spring this evening. So, you have a little time to celebrate."


    " Well, You can always celebrate aftering back from the Blood Qilin Springs after a week." Meng Zhi spoke.


    " But since we have time¡­" Long Mingughed as he looked at all the female disciples of Four Seasons Valley. " Let''s go and celebrate!"


    " Yay!"


    " Senior Brother is the best!"


    " Come with me." Long Ming grinned as he led everyone to the Yuxing Tower.


    " Go ahead, all the best dishes and wine, everything is on me!"


    " Hahaha, Finally, I can eat the famous Tiger Boar Meat." Ming Yuexin''s eyes gleamed.


    " Of course." Long Ming nodded. " I have already given an order to Yuxing Tower. Guess, We are going to have a good dinner before we leave for the Blood Qilin Sacred Spring."


    " Indeed." Mu Qinglian sighed as she slumped on the chair. " Haah, I have been tired these days. I can finally rx now."


    " Very well, Let the party begin!"


    Several hours passed as everyone in the Four Seasons Valley engaged themselves in celebration. Xia Yuqing joined her disciples as she was also feeling happy and joyous.


    As for Meng Zhi? She let herself loose as she drank and sang, moving her body gracefully. It was truly a feast of eyes for Long Ming.


    But as time passed, the imperial eunuch arrived, asking for the audience of Xia Yuqing.


    " Well, Time to go." Xia Yuqing nodded as she called Long Ming, Ming Yuexin, and Mu Qinglian.


    " The Blood Qilin Spring is a rare opportunity. Ming Yuexin, Long Ming, you can directly break through to the Harmonization Realm if you utilize it properly."


    " As for Mu Qinglian, You can reach the High stage¡­Even the Peak stage of Harmonization Realm and temper your body for the Nine Transformations of Soul Realm."


    " Yes, Master."


    All three of them nodded as they looked at the imperial eunuch. Following him, Long Ming entered the Imperial Pce of the Holy Qilin Empire.


    Grandiose, Utterly grandiose, Long Ming thought when he saw the pce.


    Not to mention, using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming could see the rising golden and violet qi from the ground, making the heaven and earth energy around the pce incredibly dense.


    '' This pce is made right above the node of several dragon veins. No wonder the entire Qin Family is blessed.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    " Young heroes, pleasee this way." Grand General Zhao appeared before them as he took a nce at them.


    " Not bad, All of you performed well in the Battle Tournament. Therefore, Earning the right to cultivate inside the Blood Qilin Scared Spring."


    " Men and women, please get separate After all, I doubt manydies here would like to take baths with men."


    General Zhao turned around and bowed. " Greetings, Concubine Mei."


    " En, His Majesty has given me the task to lead the girls into the Blood Qilin Sacred Spring." Concubine Mei spoke as she looked at the girls.


    Other than Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian, Long Ming was surprised to see Jiang Wanxue and another girl with them.


    " Mother, Why are you here?" Jiang Wanxue was surprised. " I thought Eldest Mother was going toe?"


    " Well, She was. But His Majesty gave me the chance to receive you all." Concubine Mei smiled.


    Long Ming instantly understood that Concubine Mei was the birth mother of Qin Yong and Jiang Wanxue.


    Along with the winners, some others from the Imperial Family were also there to join them in the Blood Qilin Sacred Spring.


    '' Well, Nepotism is everywhere.''


    Long Ming couldn''t help but grumble. But then, he heard that everyone else other than the winner shall stay in the spring for two days only.


    " And, You must be Long Ming, right?" Concubine Mei''s gaze fell on Long Ming, making him feel a bit strange.


    In Long Ming''s eyes, Concubine Mei was very charming, with a hint of seductiveness. However, using his Indomitable Will, Long Ming kept a neutral expression and bowed gracefully.


    " Greetings, Concubine Mei."


    " Not bad¡­ You are pretty perfect." Concubine Mei spoke, making Long Ming take a step back.


    '' Whoa, Lady! Calm down. If you talk like this, the Emperor would sure behead me.'' Long Ming shouted inwardly.


    " Anyway, We shouldn''t waste time here. Girls, Follow me." Concubine Mei threw a meaningful nce at Long Ming as she turned around and left with the girls.


    General Zhao didn''t show much expression as he looked at the remaining boys. " What are you waiting for? Follow me."


    As Long Ming and others stepped into a teleportation formation, he felt the space shifting as they arrived in a spacious cave. The cave walls were adorned with glowing crystals as they walked forward.


    And before they appeared several blood colored bubbling springs. Long Ming could also see the statue of the qilin hovering above, with countless chain holding it down.


    '' I guess it works as a regtor in this spring.'' Long Ming took a deep breath, inhaling rich heaven and earth energy along with the dense blood qi.


    Long Ming could feel the power of the ancient true qilin in the spring as the dense energy kept rising and falling, condensing into the crimson water drops which gathered in the spring.


    " Well, General Zhao, Where are the girls?" Ling Yuan couldn''t help but ask.


    " I wonder why Young Noble Ling is asking that?" General Zhao couldn''t help but chuckle. " They are on the other side of the wall. So, don''t have any thoughts to go there. And even if tried, you can''t go there."


    " We can''t peek?" Ling Yuan sighed.


    " Unfortunately¡­ Ahem¡­" General Zho coughed as he red at him. " Fortunately, No."


    Everyone chuckled as Long Ming was the first one to step forward.


    " What a great spiritual pressure." Han Cheng was surprised. " Normal cultivators can''t spend even a day inside the pool. Although the benefits are amazing, you also need to have qualifications to stay in there for a longer period of time."


    " Indeed, It all depends on a cultivator how much he can seize benefits from the pool." Ling Yuan nodded.


    Long Ming already took off his outer robe as he picked a spot.Without hesitating any longer, he jumped inside.


    Suddenly, he felt like he jumped into a pool of blood, as the viscosity of the water was too great, pulling him deep down.


    The crimson water bubbled as it stung the skin of Long Ming. It was like he was in a pot of bubbling blood, which was burning both the outside and inside of his body.


    However, It was nothingpared to the thunder me Minor Tribtion of Azure me Royal Body.


    Long Ming felt that the effect of the spring became greater in-


    depth, so he dove inside and swam to the core of the spring.


    As Long Ming swam, he still kept using his Great Mystic Mountain Physique and Azure me Royal Body. The powerful blood qi washed on his body, tempering both his body and spirit.


    Long Ming closed his eyes as he reached the depth of the spring. There, the pressure was the greatest.


    There, he opened the box of Spatial Heart Crystal and activated his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    The Spatial Heart Crystals trembled as their energy started to flow towards Long Ming.


    .

    Don''t forget to read my new book, Eroge! I Can Travel To The Ancient World!

 Chapter 236 Price of Nether Dragon

    <h4>Chapter 236 Price of Nether Dragon </h4>


    The Spatial Heart Crystals slowly emitted a dim light as the energy seeped into his body.


    Long Ming activated his Spatial Light Royal Body as he absorbed the pure energy of the space attribute.


    The Spatial Light Royal Body already reached the Initial Completion stage long ago.


    And with this amount of Spatial Light Royal Body, Long Ming felt he could directly reach the Minor Completion stage, cross the Minor Completion Tribtion then reach the Perfection stage in a single go.


    The Grand Dao of space is very obscure. Even most talented and higher realm cultivator spends decades to only glimpse at the edges of its essence.


    The space is all epassing, it presents everywhere and everytime. The essence of space is truly deep and could be dangerous.


    However, Long Ming with his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and Supreme Comprehension, he used his Spatial Light Royal Body as medium to slowly absorb and understand the essence of spatial energy.


    The Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique utilized it''s devouring force to quickly devour the energy from the SPatial Heart Crystals.


    The Spatial Light Royal Body absorbed the spatial energy like a sponge absorbing water. Long Ming could feel that along with the absorption of spatial energy, he could slowly see a glimpse of Grand Dao of Space.


    '' With just my Initial Completion, I can use teleportation inside a radius of a hundred meters. However, Now, after I have gained insight about the dao of space, I can teleportation inside a radius of a few miles.''


    '' As myprehension deepens, The distance of the teleportation would increase vastly. In the blink of an eye, I can traverse the distance of ten thousand li.''


    '' And perhaps, I can even return back to Earth?'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    Not to mention, the power of spatial energy can be used in various fields. Be it attacking, defending or in utility, it''s simply unmatched.


    Take the storage ring for example. A single storage ring can store so many things inside an independent space.


    However, if one has enough power andprehension of the Grand Dao of Space, they can create a space big enough to create a world itself, with myriad things inside it.


    As Long Ming felt his Spatial Light Royal Physique almost on the verge of reaching Minor Completion stage, he felt a stir in his divine sea.


    His golden true core trembled as it slowly started to melt, making Long Ming startled.


    '' Wait, This¡­ This is a liquefication of true core! I am going to ascend to the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm?'' Long Ming''s expression changed when he saw that.


    However, at that moment, his Spatial Light Royal Body also showed signs of a breakthrough.


    '' Perhaps the great amount of energy in the Blood Qilin Sacred Spring made my cultivation advance. Even if I didn''t get the System''s clearance, I guess it''s fine.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    '' Oh wait, If I reach the Minor Completion stage, would I have to face Minor Completion Tribtion right here?'' Long Ming frowned. '' It might create suspicions. Hmm¡­''


    But as he was thinking, His expression changed when the Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique suddenly got out of control.


    The pitch ckher dragon materialized around Long Ming as it''s thousand feet body soared like a dark pir.


    Along with it, A burning flower condensed with azure mes, a burst of spatial energy like shattered mirror fragments shining with lights, and a giant mountain range with peaks covered with auspicious clouds appeared around theher dragon.


    They are none other than the physique phenomena of Azure me Royal Body, Spatial Light Royal Body, and Great Mystic Mountain Physique which swirled around theher dragon.


    " WA-WAIYT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"


    Long Ming was sitting at the bottom of the spring as he tried to scream, making the water gurgle around him. However, he saw theher dragon opening its mouth as it created a devouring vortex.


    The physique phenomena of three physiques slowly got sucked into the vortex as theher dragon devoured everything, along with a vast amount of energy of Blood Qilin Sacred Pool.


    Long Ming clenched his chest as he felt someone trying to slowly tear his body apart. The pain almost made him unconscious, but he persisted.


    '' You¡­fucking bastard!''


    Long Ming cursed as he looked at the dragon. After devouring, the dragon swirled around Long Ming as it returned back to his divine sea.


    Suddenly, The Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiqes appeared in his mind.


    The pages flipped as some new information appeared in Long Ming''s mind.


    Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique: To reach the Minor Completion stage, one needs to sacrifice two Minor Completion Imperial Physiques or Four Minor Completion Royal Phyiques or Sixteen Minor Completion Noble Physiques.


    After the dragon devours the physiques, the host can still use the power and abilities of all his previous physiques, but in the form of techniques that would cost true qi.


    After reaching the Minor Completion stage, the bearer of theher dragon can actively devour the physique and souls of others, using them as his. Also, the devouring force increases, helping the host to cultivate faster.


    The body bes a perfect vessel for myriads of physiques and all the body abnormality shall vanish.


    Before the Perfection stage, the host needs to undergo the Minor Completion Physique Tribtion. One should always make preparations for the tribtion of an Ancient Heaven grade physique.


    Reading the text, Long Ming couldn''t help but curse loudly.


    '' Fuck! Is that really happening to me right now? This damned body!''


    But that wasn''t the end.


    Under the energy and pressure of Blood Qilin Sacred Pool, Long Ming''s true core melted into a pool of liquid gold filled with multicolored radiance.


    The liquid slowly spread through his body and soul, as Long Ming focussed on his qi cultivation moment.


    Slowly, he broke through and reached the Low stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification realm.


    But it didn''t take him time before he made continuous breakthroughs, reaching the Peak stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, just a step away from the Harmonization Realm.


    '' No, I have to suppress this. Although my foundation is solid, I can''t take the risk of cultivation deviation.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    Therefore, he used his Eternal True Spirit Art and directed all his energy to his soul.


    The Soul Nourishing Bell in his soul slowly rang as he could see the humanoid soul protected by the bell.


    The bell slowly hummed as it refined the strings of energy fed to the soul.


    " Haah, I wonder how many days have passed?" Long Ming sighed.


    But then, Long Ming thought about something as he opened his inventory.


    Taking out his Star tinum Grade Chest, he opened it.


    " This¡­"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah! I managed to advance my cultivation in my two small realms."


    " I have managed to break through to the Harmonization Realm!"


    " Me too!"


    Ming Yuexin appeared from the spring and her energy was surging more and more. Looking at her fist, she could feel the surging power of the Harmonization Realm.


    Then turning around, she saw Mu Qinglian who was sitting amidst a swirling vortex of crimson energy.


    Jiang Wanxue was also sitting with her eyes closed. Although the energy she absorbed wasn''t as vast as Mu Qinglian''s, it was iparably pure strings of blood qi, which were absorbed by her qilin blood,


    Suddenly, two raging blood wings appeared behind Mu Qinglian as she opened her eyes.


    '' Haah! In merely three days, I managed to consolidate my Perfection stage Blood Phoenix Sacred Body.'' Mu Qinglian opened her eyes.


    '' Not to mention, I also reached the High stage of Harmonization Realm, Just a step away from the Peak stage. I already gained a lot from this spring. But I can stay here for two more days, huh?'' She thought inwardly.


    " Sister Ming, congrattions. You reached Harmonization Realm." Mu Qinglian walked to Ming Yuexin. " Grand Elder would be very happy to see your progress."


    " Well, Nothingpared to you, Qingqing." Ming Yuexin sighed.


    But then, their gaze fell on Jiang Wanxue, whose body was covered with azure scales.


    " Look! Her bloodline is evolving. Soon, she could be able to use the bloodline of a true qilin during her fight." Ming Yuexin spoke.


    " Not bad, She already reached the Harmonization realm, yet her aura is so solid and powerful." Mu Qinglian pursed her lips. " In the future, her cultivation speed might catch up to mine."


    " Is that so?"


    As they were chatting, they subtly felt the blood qi and energy around them lessening, as if it was flowing away.


    " Wh-What''s happening? Why the energy is decreasing?"


    Jiang Wanxue opened her eyes as she looked around with confusion. Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin were also startled, wondering what happened.


    Here, General Zhao was guarding outside the spring, but his expression changed when he felt the flow of energy.


    Ling Yuan, Han Cheng, and others also felt that the energy was decreasing around them as they looked confused.


    " That direction¡­That''s brother Long, right?"


    " Holy shit! What is it he doing?

 Chapter 237 Powerful Fleshly Body

    <h4>Chapter 237 Powerful Fleshly Body </h4>


    Everyone''s expression changed when they saw the surging blood qi and the energy of heaven and earth.


    They felt the surging energy turn into a crimson dragon before diving into the pool where Long Ming was cultivating.


    Ling Yuan''s Sky Battling Royal Body shivered as if it was facing a powerful suppression. '' Is it his Imperial Body? No, even if it''s the Imperial body, it won''t cause such sensation.''


    Han Cheng also felt his Dark Heaven Demonic Ape bloodline was burning, making his eyes filled with battle intent.


    '' As Master said, The Eastern Province is where all the fortunes of the current era are gathered. I can find so many opponents here.''


    '' As long as I stay here, I can polish my cultivation and attain great heights in the shortest possible time.''


    Looking at each other, they are both again immersed in cultivation.


    Long Ming didn''t know about the ruckus he made outside. However, he was fully immersed in his cultivation as he opened the Star tinum Grade Chest.


    [ Ding! Host opened a Star tinum Chest! Host obtained an Imperial grade Formation! River Sealing Eight gs!]


    [River Sealing Eight gs: It''s a formation consisting of eight ancient thorns. As its name implies, it can used as an Attacking Formation and Sealing Formation! As long as sufficient energy is provided, it can fight off against enemies across greater realms!]


    Suddenly, eight ancient bronze thorns appeared before Long Ming as they buzzed around him. Long Ming looked at the swords as he nodded with approval.


    " Not bad. Be it a single enemy or a bunch of enemies, it can be employed in both situations."


    " Also, Each of the thorns is a Noble grade treasure on its own. So, I can even use it as individual weapons."


    Long Ming saw the hovering thorns which looked like bronze daggers. Without any dy, he used his Eternal True Spirit Art as his spiritual energy gushed out.


    Like plugging a wire in the socket, Long Ming slowly connected his spiritual qi with the eight hovering thorns and started to refine them with his divine sense.


    For ordinary cultivators, the treasures are just tool. However, for the true masters, the treasures are extensions of their own bodies.


    By refining the treasures with his own spiritual qi, Long Ming made them acquainted with his own divine sense and branded them with his unique spiritual imprint.


    After this, he could swiftly control the formation just using his divine sense. With a single thought, the thorns would fly to his enemies.


    Not to mention, branding them with their own spiritual imprint will also lessen the chance of others disrupting the formation with their own spiritual energy.


    After all, there are many thieves in the immortal world and they can easily steal treasures and erase the imprint of the original user.


    Long Ming opened his eyes as he looked at his surroundings. He was still in the Blood Qilin Ancient Pool. But after that, he swam upwards.


    Looking outside, he saw Ling Yuan getting ready as they stood outside of the pool.


    " Huh? Five days already passed?" Long Ming looked at him as he was surprised.


    " My god! Brother Long, What did you do?" Ling Yuan was surprised. " Just how much blood qi and energy did you absorb?"


    " Indeed, It felt like alone decreased a third energy of the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool."


    " Is that so?"


    Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Since the Imperial Family is kind enough to provide us with such an opportunity, I should take full advantage, right?"


    " Hahaha! Indeed, Indeed!" Ling Yuanughed loudly when he heard that. " Well, Since that''s the case, I am leaving, Brother Long."


    " Enjoy your extra two days here." Ling Yuanughed as he turned around and left.


    Long Ming looked at the pool and felt the energy indeed decreased a lot.


    '' Does reaching the Minor Completion stage of my Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique devoured that much energy?'' Long Ming couldn''t help but smile wryly.


    The amount of energy he devoured was enough for a cultivator to reach the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm from scratch. However, his minor physique devoured that much instantly.


    " Haah, I wonder how much I need to cross the tribtion? And then, there is still the Perfection stage." Long Ming sighed as he jumped back into the pool.


    '' Currently, I can no longer use my physiques, although my physical body is already way too powerful. But I should refine it further.''


    " Eh? What''s this?"


    After reaching the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, Long Ming felt the presence of a strange power inside his divine sea.


    It was none other than the power of the qilin bloodline that he received from Jiang Wanxue''s body.


    After getting the baptism of Blood Qilin Sacred Pool, Long Ming felt the size of the golden qilin grew considerably.


    '' Well, Let''s see the power of my minorpletion physique.''


    Long Ming grinned as he utilized the devouring force of the Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    The qilin energy roared in his body as it slowly got devoured by his devouring force. Long Ming could feel the qilin energy was slowly getting assimted into his bloodline.


    '' This¡­This is so cool!'' Long Ming''s eyes started to shine when he saw the effect. '' Does that mean I can devour bloodlines and use them as mine?''


    After all, bloodlines are something which passed down from generation to generation. Taking someone else''s bloodline and using it as your own is a huge risk.


    If the body and the bloodline aren''tpatible, the cultivator might face qi deviation. And after that, the future path of cultivation would bepletely blocked.


    But with Long Ming''s devouring power, he can simply eliminate all those restrictions and use the power of the bloodline as his own.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as he looked at the Blood Qilin Statu hovering above. Manipting his own qilin bloodline, Long Ming drew out its aura and tried to interact with the qilin statue.


    *ROAR ROAARRR*


    Long Ming felt he could hear the roarings of the ancient qilin as the statue emitted a strange blood hue.


    " Ugh! This¡­This is pretty simr to the Purple Crystal of Liu Family!" Long Ming''s eyes became wide with excitement as he could feel his blood boiling.


    The water of the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool bubbled as Long Ming could see small threads of blood slowly oozing out from them.


    As the thread of blood slowly congealed with each other, instead of getting thicker, they started to thin out.


    In the end, they became as thin as the finest silk strings, with crystal blood color with a sheen of gold.


    Long Ming felt the qilin bloodline inside his body jumping with eagerness as he devoured those fine blood strands.


    " This¡­This is the purest bloodline of ancient qilin. No wonder! If I can devour all of it, the benefits will be endless!"


    Long Ming closed his eyes as he slowly devoured the blood strands. With each strand he devoured, he felt the burning sensation strengthening his body.


    It was unknown how much time had passed, but Long Ming could feel his body was truly transformed by the purest blood of ancient qilin.


    " Young Master Long, Seven Days have passed! Pleasee our of the pool!"


    Long Min opened his eyes as the voice rang through the cave.


    Getting out, he saw the Qilin statue bing dimmer than before.


    " Hehe, the blood of the ancient qilin was distributed into the entirety of the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool. But using my qilin blood as a catalyst and devouring power as the force, I extracted the true blood easily."


    " Now, the effect of the spring would lessen. But, That''s none of my concern."


    Long Ming got out as he put on his robe andbed his long hair.


    " Mm, My hair also grew too much, eh? Not bad, I look much more refined." Long Ming chuckled as he looked his reflection.


    After getting ready, he walked out and saw General Zhao was waiting for him.


    " You had a lot of trouble because of me, General Zhao." Long Ming cupped his fist as he bowed lightly.


    " Not at all. You really caused quite some ruckus inside." General Zhao smiled wryly. " The energy inside the pool almost thinned out."


    " Hmm, Your physical body is pretty robust. I can feel the vitality and strength of your flesh and blood."


    Long Ming smiled lightly as he knew the reason.


    Currently, he felt like he could fight with a Low stage Harmonization Realm cultivator with his physical body alone.


    " You are overpraising me, General." Long Ming smiled lightly as he followed him.


    '' Strange, his aura¡­Is it because he came out of the pool? But it feels like¡­pure blooded Imperial Qin Family member.''


    '' Nevermind, That''s rather impossible. At most, he would get some traits of ancient qilin. Gaining the pure bloodline is impossible.''


    General Zhao gave a meaningful nce to Long Ming as both of them walked out.


    " Now, I shall take you to the Imperial Treasury. There, you can pick any treasure or techniques from the first two floors."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming smiled.


    " Well, Then I have to rely on General Zhao to guide me."

 Chapter 238 Immortal Fate Stone

    <h4>Chapter 238 Immortal Fate Stone </h4>


    Following General Zhao, Long Ming reached a giant pagoda situated in the imperial pce.


    " Well, You can take anything below Royal grade treasures and technique. And it must be a single item." General Zho reminded Long Ming once again.


    " But, I will suggest you take some medicinal herbs or pills. It will increase your strength substantially. There are a lot of treasures, so take your time."


    " As you say, General Zhao." Long Ming nodded as he followed him inside.


    It was simr to the Treasures Pavilion of Four Seasons Valley. He could see many guards surrounding the ce. Each of them was either at the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm or even at the Harmonization Realm.


    " Hoho, Is he the winner of the Battle Tournament?" A middle-aged manughed as he walked towards General Zhao and Long Ming.


    " I am Feng Zhitai, The manager of Treasure Pagoda." Feng Zhitao spoke. Long Ming used his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and saw Feng Zhitai was at the Peak of Harmonization Realm.


    However, due to some strange reasons, Long Ming felt that Feng Zhitai could fight against even Nine Transformations of Soul Realm.


    " Come with me, I shall show you around." Feng Zhitai spoke as he took Long Ming with him.


    " Then, I shall go back. I have a lot of work to do." General Zhao spoke as he turned around and left.


    " Well, As you can see, the Treasure Pagoda is the ce where all sorts of treasures of Holy Qilin Imperial Family''s treasures are stored."


    " Does that mean the Imperial Family members can simplye and take any treasures here?" Long Ming asked curiously.


    " Of course not." Feng Zhitaoughed lightly. " Even if you are the Imperial Prince or Princess, you need to umte certain merits and get approved by His Majesty."


    " But yes, The regr treasures they get here on a regr basis are just a grade below than the powerful Imperial Lineages." Feng Zhitai spoke.


    " There are eight floors. You can go up to the sixth floor and pick a single treasure or technique."


    " Go ahead, I am waiting here." Feng Zhitai yawned as he took a seat.


    " Besides, Don''t just rush to the higher floor from first. This ce will help you widen your horizons."


    " I shall keep Elder Feng''s words in my mind." Long Ming nodded as he turned around and walked away.


    Walking around, Long Ming sighed when he saw the shelves full of rare treasures and scrolls.


    '' Damn, this is what a treasure storage should look like. Four Seasons Valley barely got half of the total contents here.'' Long Ming sighed inwardly.


    At first, he walked around the ground floor. He could see it was filled with all sorts of low grade techniques and Yellow grade treasures.


    Then slowly and steadily, he reached the third floor.?He could see some servants here and there, taking care of the treasury.


    Their strength wasn''t bad. Almost all of them were in the True Core Formation Realm and Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.


    However, one can see that their talents were simply the lowest. It will take several years for them to break through to the next small stage.


    Therefore, they can only act like servants here.


    However, as Long Ming was walking leisurely, he paused his steps. He suddenly looked at an old man who was sitting on an old wooden chair.


    " You monkeys! Hurry up and clean properly!" The old man shouted as he held a small bamboo stick.


    " The one who will do the best today will get an Energy Core Pill from me."


    " Hmph, Old Li, You think we are three year old children?" A young servant snorted.


    " What are we going to do with it?"


    " It won''t help us in our cultivation at all."


    Long Ming walked toward Old Li as he smiled lightly. " Elder, May I know your identity?"


    " Haha, Young master, He is Li Qingyi. He is just a useless old man."


    " Shush, Are you forgetting he is also our superior?" Another servantughed lightly.


    " Don''te to usining if he beats you with that bamboo stick."


    Li Qingyi snorted when he heard that. " These damned monkeys. Just wait, I will turn you guys into tbread using this stick."


    " En, Young Man, Are you Long Ming?" Li Qingyi looked at him. " Not bad, You are quite adept at hiding yourself. I can see why you won the Battle Tournament."


    " And the final match¡­Hahaha! You really pulled out an impressive trick."


    " It''s just a light hearted y, Elder Li. No need to embarrass me so much." Long Ming cupped his fist as he looked at Li Qingyi.


    " Haah! What can even I do?'' Li Qingyi sighed. " I am just an old man with a limited lifespan and no power."


    " I doubt, Elder Li." Long Ming grinned. " I believe you have rather a long life. As for power, Hehe¡­ Who knows."


    Li Qingyi''s eyes narrowed lightly. But they became normal instantly. " Anyway, You are here to pick a treasure, yes?"


    " I think Elder Li has spent a lot of time in in Treasure Pagoda." Long Ming nodded. " I wonder if you can give me some pointers?"


    " Pointers, huh?" Li Qingyi shrugged. " But as you can see, I have lost both of my legs. I can''t walk around. The pagoda is too vast, no?"


    Long Ming smiled as he turned around. " How about I carry you on my back?"


    " Are you sure?"


    " Of course."


    Without saying anything he helped Li Qingyi climb on his back and started to walk.


    However, Long Ming barely took a few steps before he realized that Li Qingyi''s weight increased.


    " Well, Young man, I don''t think carrying me would be an easy task." Li Qingyi chuckled.


    " Anyway, There is the Xuan grade treasure, called Flower Returning Dagger. It can¡­"


    Li Qingyi chatted casually. However, he also gave a detailed description of each treasure.


    But Long Ming could feel it. With each passing breath, the weight of Li Qingyi increased.


    Soon enough, Long Ming had to use his true qi as he kept Li Qingyi lifted. As they traveled, Li Qingyi was also keeping tabs on Long Ming.


    They reached the sixth floor while talking. However, Li Qingyi saw Long Ming was still calm as water.


    " Not bad, young people can still be cultivated." Li Qingyi nodded.


    " Is that so?" Long Ming smiled as he carried him. " I will take that as apliment."


    However, he was almost cursing Li Qingyi inwardly. Currently, he waspletely using all his true qi and physical body to keep Li Qingyi lifted. And now, he even used the qilin bloodline as his physique became bolstered.


    " Interesting, Although I saw many outsiders use our Blood Qilin Sacred Pool, not many of them managed to have such a strong breath of Qilin as you." Li Qingyi chuckled.


    " Brat, Are you sure you are not some illegitimate member of the Imperial Qin Family?"


    " Why would I?" Long Mingughed lightly. " Elder Li, You are saying like one can only have Qilin bloodline in the Qin Family."


    " Hmhm, You are right." Li Qingyi sighed. " I guess I am turning into senile as I am getting old."


    " So, Let me cut to the chase. The Azure Qilin Thirteen Swords is a Noble grade technique. But, if youpletely cultivate it, you can get a glimpse of Azure Qilin Sword Path."


    " Simrly, The Great Qilin w Art andRain Summoning Wave are also which are suitable for your powerful physical body."


    " As for treasures, The Azure Scaled Boots andAzure Scaled Armors are very good treasures of Noble grade. You can use them all the way till you reach Dao Refining Realm."


    " However, If you want to take a Medicinal Pill, I will rmend you to take Tribtion Shielding Pill." Li QIngyi spoke. " This pill will help you to ovee the lightning tribtions under the Dao Refining Realm."


    " And, there is also a pill called Qilin Blood Pill. But I wonder if you can take that." Li Qingyi chuckled.


    " Elder Li, What about some refining material?"Long Ming asked. " Specially for¡­Natal Weapon refining?"


    " What? Natal Weapon?"


    Li Qingyi''s eyes shrunk, as his weight abruptly increased. " Haha! Brat, You are truly ambitious! You are thinking of a natal weapon from now?"


    Long Ming almost cursed aloud when he felt Li Qingyi again increase his weight. It was he was carrying a mountain on his back.


    '' Fuck! Now I feel what my opponents felt when they got crushed by my Great Mystic Mountain Physique.'' Long Ming gave a wry smile inwardly.


    " Very well, Follow me." Li Qingyi spoke as he pointed at the ce.


    " You are pretty amusing, Young Man. Since you carried me for so long, I can''t mistreat you." Li Qingyi spoke as he pointed to a strange stone b piled among various treasures.


    " What''s that?" Long Ming asked as he picked the stone b.


    " This is Immortal Fate Stone. It''s the best item to forge Natal Weapons."


    " What? Immortal Fate Stone?!" Long Ming almost dropped the stone.

 Chapter 239 Human Mountain Technique

    <h4>Chapter 239 Human Mountain Technique </h4>


    Long Ming''s eyelid shrank when he heard it was Immortal Fate Stone.


    This ore really justifies its grand name. The Immortal Fate Stone is a very rare material that is only found in extremely dangerous zones.


    Such a thing is used by the Dao Refining Realm cultivators and higher to create their natal weapons. Most Innate type weapons contain a few grains or grams of the Immortal Fate Stone.


    Only a few grains of it can increase the sess rate of treasure forging. It also gives superior power to a treasure. That''s why, most powerful cultivators, even Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivators always sought this ore to create their natal treasure.


    After all, the more Immortal Fate Stone used in a treasure, the more powerful it would be.


    " Well, This is too precious. What is it doing on the sixth floor?" Long Ming looked at Li Qingyi with a suspicious gaze.


    " Don''t worry. You will knowter." Li Qingyi chuckled.


    " Shouldn''t Senior use it for himself? Why do you wish to give it to me?" Long Ming asked once again.


    " Don''t bber too much, brat." Li Qingyi gave a light bonk on Long Ming''s head. " Winning the Battle Tournament, you already stepped into the battlefield of Imperial Qin Family."


    " Therefore, use this chance and increase your strength. I can see, you are not someone who is going to die soon."


    " Is that apliment?" Long Ming smiled wryly.


    Suddenly, he felt the burden on his body lessening as Li Qingyi got off from his body.


    " Anyway, It''s been a while since I saw a talented individual like that brat." Li Qingyiughed lightly.


    " Also, Take this¡­ I think it will help you."


    Long Ming turned around and saw Li Qingyo throwing him a small thing. Out of instinct, Long Ming caught it.


    However, the moment he caught the item, Long Ming felt he was holding a falling mountain.


    " This is Mountain Flipping Seal, a Royal grade treasure. There is also a battle art hidden there. It''s up to you how to get it."


    " What? A Royal grade treasure? Senior, You¡­"


    " Take this. The Immortal Fate Stone is just a stone till you turn it into a treasure." Li Qingyi spoke.


    " Therefore, treat this as thepensation for carrying me around."


    " Thank you, Senior." Long Ming cupped his fist as he epted the Mountain Flipping Seal.


    '' Heh, As expected. No way an old, disabled man sweeping such a grand ce is an ordinary person. He is indeed a hidden master.''


    '' Mountain Flipping Seal, huh? This looks pretty powerful. But the real treasure is the Immortal Fate Stone. With this, I can finally forge a powerful Natal weapon.''


    Long Ming held the stone b and came down.


    " Eh? Nephew Long, You want to pick this Purple Steel Ore?" Feng Zhitao asked in a strange tone.


    " Purple Steel Ore?" Long Ming gawked as he looked at Feng Zhitao. No wonder Li Qingyi said it won''t be a problem to take it out from here.


    '' I see. It''s in the lower floor because it has been appraised wrongly.'' Long Mingughed as he nodded to Feng Zhitao.


    " Yes, I am notcking in techniques. However, this will help to forge a treasure."


    " This¡­ Alright. As you wish." Feng Zhitao nodded when he saw Long Ming was determined.


    With a happy face, Long Ming walked out of the building with the Immortal Fate Stone.


    As he walked out of the pce, he saw Mu Qinglian standing right outside, waiting for Long Ming.


    " You are finally back, huh?" Mu Qinglian smiled when she saw Long Minging out.


    " You were waiting till now?" Long Ming shook his head he sighed. " You didn''t have to do that."


    " Come with me. Master is eagerly waiting for you." Mu Qinhglian turned around as she flew away. Long Ming''s Raging me Wing appeared behind him as he also chased after her.


    Returning to the Yuxing Tower, Long Ming saw everyone were waiting for him eagerly.


    " You are back, huh?" Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she nodded.


    " Not bad, I can see your power has increased, I guess you used the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool thoroughly."


    " It''s all thanks to you, Sect Master." Long Ming nodded with a smile. " My cultivation base increased after I cultivated inside the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool. As for my strength¡­ It''s good."


    Long Ming gave a bitter smile he realized he lost all his special physiques.


    " Very well, Shall we return to the sect?" Meng Zhi asked as she looked at Xia Yuqing.


    " I think I will stay here." Long Ming spoke. " Exploring a few days in Holy Qilin City, I wille back."


    " If that''s your wish, then I shall respect it." Xia Yuqing nodded. " After all, along with the boost of the cultivation realm, you also need to hone yourself with real world experience."


    " Then, I shall stay with Long Ming too." Mu Qinglian spoke in a t voice.


    " What? Shouldn''t you return to the sect and consolidate your cultivation realm?" Long Ming smiled.


    " You don''t want me to stay with you?" Mu Qinglian frowned when she heard that.


    " No, That''s not it. However, I believe you should focus on increasing your strength. After all, we have offended enough sects for now."


    " Now you said this, Sky Martial Tower is also trying to rally everyone against us." Meng Zhi suddenly spoke.


    " I have gotten information that the Sky Martial Tower is keeping contact with Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain."


    " Do they want to attack us? How could¡­" Mu Qinglian was shocked, but Xia Yuqing waved her hands.


    " Don''t worry about that. If they dare to attack us, Hehe¡­It would be their final mistake."


    " Senior Sister, Don''t worry. I will be back in a few days." Long Ming smiled. Mu Qinglian sighed as she nodded, " Very well. I shall be waiting for you then."


    After a while, Long Ming left as he crossed the outer perimeter of the Holy Qilin City. Finding a secluded ce, he got down and took out the Mountain Flipping Seal.


    " Mountain Flipping Seal! Activate!"


    Long Ming''s True Qi rolled out like a tidal wave as he threw the seal. The seal turned into a gigantic illusory seal as it created a powerful pressure.


    " This¡­this works simr as my Great Mystic Mountain Physique! Using it, I can crush and seal my opponents instantly." Long Ming was surprised.


    No wonder why Old Li said it would be useful for him.


    Currently, Long Ming''s divine expanded over ten times, making his True qi same as a Harmonization Realm cultivator.


    Retracting the seal, Long Ming started to study it. Using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes and Supreme Comprehension, he managed to extract and learn a battle technique.


    " Human Mountain Technique! A Royal grade technique inspired by the Great Mystic Mountain Physique."


    " Using the body to envision the mountain, human and mountain will be one. Each movement shall contain the weight of a mountain and its suppressive force."


    " It contains three moves which can be amplified by using Mountain Flipping Seal at the same time!"


    " Mountain Shaking Great Fist, Mountain King''s Wrath and Human and Mountain Suppression. Mastering the three moves, there would be nothing which can''t be crushed."


    Long Ming took a deep breath as his eyes shed with a powerful light.


    " Let me see how powerful it is!"


    .


    .


    .


    Fellow Daoist, Have you seen the character cards? Now, you can see the images of Long Ming, Mu Qinglian and Xia Yuqing on the book page. I will soon add others.

 Chapter 240 Teacher Long

    <h4>Chapter 240 Teacher Long </h4>


    Five days passed, and lots of things happened in the Holy Qilin City.


    " Grandfather, I thought there was a small peak there?" A child asked in an innocent voice.


    "Huh? Now you said it¡­Indeed, there used to be a small peak there. I wonder if someone shattered it."


    The Lan Vige was arge vige which situated in the vicinity of the outskirts of Holy Qilin City. A long time ago, a great general made great merits during the ancient wars. The emperor of the Holy Qilin Empire gave him arge piece ofnd in return.


    He established the Lan Vige on a small spirit vein, making the vigers benefit from it.


    And after a few thousand years, several generationster already passed. However, the vige remained standing.


    Although the poption has somewhat decreased, the scenery around here is much better and open than the hustle and bustle of Holy Qilin City.


    " Look! Isn''t that Brother Long?"


    " Oh my! Looks like he returned."


    " Aunt Ye, One pot of sweet Bean curd and some dumplings."


    " Yes, Little Long."


    " Brother Long, Today, You must teach me a new technique!"


    " No, I want to learn a sword technique!"


    " Haha, You guys are getting more and more greedy, huh?" A handsome young manughed as he ate on a small wooden chair.


    He was none other than Long Ming, who was practicing his techniques in the mountains.


    '' I have already reached the perfection stage of the Human Mountain Technique. With a light punch, I can execute the weight of a million jin (around 500,000Kg).'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    He also tried the new ability of his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique. By using true qi, he can now condense Azure mes of Azure mes Royal Body and can teleport to greater distance, which is the ability of Spatial Light Body.


    Not to mention, a technique like Human Mountain Technique and Mountain Flipping Seal is five times deadlier than average in his hands.


    After all, Long Ming cultivated the Great Mystic Mountain Physique to Minor Completion, Therefore,bining that with this technique and treasure, he can achieve far greater results.


    And as he was practicing, he decided to stay in the Lan Vige for a few days. Of course, he reced his exquisite robe with a in robe as he mingled with the vigers.


    However, his Deste Immortal Aura made him like a bright moon in the dark night, attracting everyone towards him.


    '' However, There is another reason I am staying here.'' Long Ming sighed as he opened the system window of Infinity Star Roulette.


    [ Dear Host, Currently, The System is in the middle of the update. Host can''t receive any system for a few days. However, the other functions of the system shall remain active]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is issuing a quest! Steal the underwear of the Empress of the Holy Qilin Empire! Reward 100 Star Coins!]


    [ Ding! Gold Guarding Miser Dragon is issuing a quest! Gather One billion Spirit Jades! Reward! 500 Star coins! Failure: Sacrifice 1 Billion High grade Spirit Stones to him!]


    Long Ming became speechless when he saw that.?" Damn, you guys just want to spread chaos in this world, huh?"


    " And you what''s with your request, Mr. Dragon? You just want to take my money because I used the loophole in your system?" Long Ming couldn''t help but snort.


    " Anyway, I don''t have time for doing such things. If you guys have any easy requests, you can list them."


    [Ding! Harem King of Nine World isining! He is saying there haven''t been any smut scenes recently!]


    [Ding! Constetion Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is asking you to use this time to polish your dao heart!]


    [ Ding! Constetion Humble Amodation is issuing you a quest! Spend a week in Lan Vige and help the children! Reward: 50 Star coins!]


    " Huh? Who are you?" Long Ming was surprised. However, when he saw the quest, he couldn''t help but be surprised.


    [ Ding! Constetion Humble Amodation is saying that he loves to help those who are weak and unable to grasp opportunities!]


    [ Ding! Constetion Demon King of Lust is issuing an qu-]


    " Nah, Not even going to look at yours." Long Ming snorted as he wiped the message.


    [ Ding! Constetion Demon King of Lust is aggrieved and pouting! Asking Harem King of Nine Worlds for constion]


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King has gone offline]


    '' Well, I am going to stay here for a while, right? Why not use this chance to earn a few Star coins'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    " Very well, I ept this mission."


    Long Ming walked to the nearby Lan Vige to stay.


    And now he has been staying here for a few days. But he has to admit, the vigers of Lan Vige are very sincere.


    " Brother Long, Are a very powerful cultivator, right?" A girl asked with a cheerful voice as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Why don''t you tell the tales of the immortal world? Mother never lets go outside. I also want to seethose powerful cultivators."


    " Well, Little Lan, Don''t worry." Long Ming caressed her head as he smiled.


    " Once you grow up, you can also travel through the mountains and rivers."


    " Alright, We are going to train once again." Long Ming stood up as he looked at the bunch of children.


    " So today, we are going to do the basic movement exercise."


    " Not again!"


    " Big brother Long! You are so boring!"


    Long Ming saw the expression of the children before him became pained when they heard his words.


    " We don''t want to do those boring exercises at all!"


    " Well, Kiddos, Listen to me." Long Ming spoke in a serious voice.


    " To reach higher realms, you need to have a solid foundation first. And to have a solid foundation, you need to have a solid body,"


    " This is called the Great Body Movement exercise which will stimte every part of your body. You need to absorb the qi of heaven and earth while doing these exercises, ok?"


    " And if you do¡­" Long Ming''s expression became yful, " Along with the candies, I will teach you a new technique!"


    " You are telling the truth?"


    " Of course."


    " Then¡­Let''s do it!"


    Long Ming taught everyone the Great Body Movement Technique. Long Ming found it in the lowest section of Four Seasons Valley''s library.


    Although it''s a Spirit Grade technique, Long Ming improved the shorings and made it better.


    Most of the children here were in the Qi Condensation stage. Therefore, this technique will use the true qi to strengthen their bodies first, making their body into a solid vessel for true qi.


    And it will help them in their future cultivation.


    After three hours of tough practice, all the children are now lying on the ground. Long Ming smiled as he took out a small jade bottle.


    " Now, everyonee and have your candies."


    The eyes of the children shone with bright light as they rushed to Long Ming.


    " Mmm, This candy is so fragrant."


    " All my fatigue vanished! This is so good!"


    " I can even feel the energy in my body is rising! I reached the High stage of Qi Condensation Realm!"


    Long Ming smiled when he saw their faces. What he gave them weren''t candies, but rank two Body Quenching Pills.


    He thought that he should also get used to his Azure mes using True Qi. And, with that, he also concocted some pills for these children.


    " Alright, So are you guys ready?" Long Ming chuckled. " So, the new technique I am going to teach you is¡­Silkwave Palm!"


    Silkwave Palm is the basic version of Silkwave Demonic Palm, which was a Royal garde technique.


    However, Long Ming simplified it for these children.


    " As its name implies, you need to use your palm like silk." Long Ming took a deep breath as he raised his palm and made a move.


    " Soft like silk. With such softness, you can easily evade an opponent''s attack. Your palm would move through the gaps of the attack, and strike the opponent!"


    " Whoaa!"


    " Brother Long, you are looking so elegant!"


    " Oh my, I am going to faint!"


    Long Ming smiled wryly. " Guys, Focus on the technique. Not on me."


    " Not bad. I never thought after vanishing from the Holy Qilin City, You would be staying here and teaching these children."


    Suddenly, everyone turned around and saw a fairy like maiden with sharp features descending from the sky.

 Chapter 241 Refining A Natal Weapon

    <h4>Chapter 241 Refining A Natal Weapon </h4>


    Long Ming chuckled with interest. " Oh my, This humble one greets the princess."


    " Hmph, You really love to y word games, don''t you?" Jiang Wanxue''s eyes twitched. " If you go to the brothels more, no one can beat you in literature anymore."


    " What brothel?" Long Ming rolled his eyes when he saw the children were also listening. " I am simply a schr with some skills in literature."


    " Is that so?" Jiang Wanxue snorted. " Then, May I know what is this schr doing here?"


    " Just practicing the battle techniques here. After all, I need to consolidate my foundation after receiving rewards from the Treasure Pagoda, right?"


    Jiang Wanxue gave a hard look to Long Ming as she shook her head.


    " Anyway, I hope you remember your promise to my brother."


    " Of course, I know." Long Ming nodded. " Why? Anything happened?"


    " Well, Although something happened, you don''t need to get bothered." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming. " I just thought the people of First Prince woulde to lure you to their camp."


    " Well, I don''t think I will go to their camp." Long Ming grinned. " I doubt they have a treasure like you, Sister Jiang."


    " You!!"


    Jian Wanxue couldn''t help but be flustered when she heard Long Ming. '' This bastard¡­Why does he always tease me like this?''


    " I want you warn you about something." Jiang Wanxue''s tone became serious. " I got the news that some powerful assassins are hiding in the capital."


    " There are many potential targets, and you might be one of them. So, be careful."


    Long Ming nodded. " I will keep your warning my heart."


    " Anyway, I want to ask you about something?" Jiang Wanxue nced at Long Ming.


    " Why do I feel a familiar breath from your body? It''s¡­Simr to the Imperial Family members¡­"


    Long Ming was startled when he heard that. Could it be that Jiang Wanxue sensed his qilin bloodline?


    After all, Long Ming knows that Jiang Wanxue''s bloodline is very pure, and she might be the purest bloodline in the younger generation.


    Therefore, she might have sensed another existence of the qilin bloodline, which was inside Long Ming.


    " Hehe, I guess Sister Jiang is infatuated with me." Long Ming grinned.


    " Pah! Shameless!"


    Jiang Wanxue snorted as she turned around. " See you in a few days."


    " Brother Long, Who was thatdy?"


    " I have never seen such a beauty before."


    " Well, If I say she is the princess of the Holy Qilin Empire, would you believe me?" Long Ming grinned.


    " Of course not." An older boy shook his head.


    " Yes, Uncle Long, You are lying to use!"


    Long Ming became speechless as he waved his hands. " Hurry up and cultivate for an hour. After that, you are free to go."


    " Yay!!"


    Long Ming walked back to the forest where he made a temporary hut.


    Closing his eyes, he slowly took out the materials one after another.


    Hundred kg of Azure Mirthil, a few hundred Kg of Deep Sea Iron, zed Ocenide Steel, Five Elemental Heavenly Abstract Jade, and now the Immortal Fate Stone, everything floated around Long Ming.


    Slowly flipping through the Myriad Treasures Refining Tome, Long Ming picked the internal refinement method.


    Using the body as a forging table and spiritual qi as a hammer and qi and spirit fire to refine the materials, one can create various treasures inside a person''s body. Especially while making natal weapons, internal refining technique is the best.


    Now, that Long Ming has an abundance of True qi and power of Azure mes, he can finally refine a proper natal weapon for himself.


    '' Should I forge a sword? Swift and decisive? Or a saber, robust and tyrannical? A spear that is straightforward and all piercing or a halberd, imposing and brutal?''


    Suddenly, Long Ming cupped his fist as azure me bloomed like a flower in it. The mes increased rapidly as it swallowed all the materials instantly.


    Long Ming even used his qilin bloodline as it had affinity with mes and boosted his azure mes.


    zed Ocenide Steel and Deep Sea Iron were refined first due to the heat of azure mes. They reduced to only one percent of their original masses.


    Long Ming not only burned away all the impurities, he even burned away all the low levelyers, keeping only the purest among the purest to refine.


    After that, he started to refine the Azure Mirthil Ore. However, since he got it from the. Therefore, the amount of impurities is almost null.


    Only a kilogram of it created a huge ruckus in the auction of Grand Sky City. Now, Long Ming was using a ny nine kg just to forge his treasure.


    After that, he slowly focused on the Five Elementai Heavenly Abstract Jade which he got from the Abstract Jade auction in the Azure Fragrance City.


    It contains the purest dao energy of five elements while all elements remain in harmony. Long Ming harnessed its power and extracted the energy from it.


    Using his Eternal True Spirit Technique, Long Ming''s spiritual qi surged like a tidal wave as he condensed it into a colossal hammer.


    *DING! DING! DING!*


    With a strange sonorous sound, the metal ores slowly pounded by Long Ming''s spiritual hammer as he started to give it a shape.


    However, As time passed, they slowly started to take shape. Finally, Long Ming took out the b of Immortal Fate Stone and punched it hard.


    Suddenly, its outeryer crumbled as a multicolored brilliance spread across the entire space.


    It looked like oval-shaped t stone that rippled with the energy of heaven and earth.


    " CONDENSE!"


    Long Ming shouted as he gathered all the materials in a single spot and covered around it using his spiritual qi like a cauldron.


    He felt his soul was burning due to his spiritual qi containing the molten materials containing the energy of heaven and earth.


    However, Long Ming persisted as he started to refine all the materials thoroughly.


    His qilin blood roared as the blood qi rose from Long Ming''s body, turning into the fuel for the Azure mes which refined the materials.


    '' Ugh! It''s consuming too much true qi from my body.'' Long Ming sweated. However, he didn''t care as he picked a few medicinal pills and threw them into his mouth.


    " Now, All I need to do is to visualize the weapon. What sort of natal weapon want to make?"


    " Sword, Saber, Bow, Spear, Halberd, Dagger¡­"


    Long Ming frowned as he tried to think of a proper weapon for himself.


    When he first came to this world, he chose proficiency in Archery because he was powerless in frontal fights. But as time passed, he also gainedprehension of the sword.


    But now Long Ming has enough power toprehend any weapon he wishes.


    Suddenly, a light shed in Long Ming''s eyes as he utilized the power of hisher dragon''s devouring force.


    " Since I can''t satisfied with a single weapon, then let me turn it into a weapon which can do everything!"


    Suddenly, the materials churned as they condensed into a ball of light. Long Ming''s spiritual qi surged as it slolwy molded into a treasure he wished.


    And after that, he established the unfinished product in his divine sea, slowly refining it to perfection.

 Chapter 242 Prodigal Young Master System

    <h4>Chapter 242 Prodigal Young Master System </h4>


    Long Ming spent the next few days in Lan Vige after he finished thest step of refinement.


    However, the internal treasure refining technique is very mysterious. Although Long Ming created a basic shape of the billet, he is slowly refining it the perfection.


    And, it was unknown how many days or months it would take to perfect it.


    '' Not to mention, My Azure mes are only at the stage of Minorpletion. Even with my qilin bloodline, I might not be able to refine it further after a certain stage.''


    '' Therefore, I need to increase the quality of my spirit mes.''


    " Uncle Long, How did I perform?"


    Long Ming''s concentration broke when he heard someone calling him.


    " Not bad, However, you need to add more flow to your attack." Long Ming looked at the girl and spoke.


    " As I said, The Silkwave Palm puts emphasis on the concept of softness. As long as you understand it, you will reach the minorpletion stage."


    " Alright, Uncle Long."


    *BOOM! BOOM!"


    Suddenly, everyone paused as they saw three children sitting cross legged on the ground covered with a surge of true qi.


    " I¡­I broke through to the Violet Pce Expansion Realm!"


    " Me too! I also broke through!"


    Long Ming nodded when he looked at the children. " Not bad. As I said, once you have a solid foundation, you can quickly break through to higher stages."


    " Uncle Long! This is not fair! I also want ti reach the Violet Pce Expansion realm!"


    " Me too! Uncle Long, can''t you give me some magical pills?"


    Long Ming shook his head. " Rather than using medicinal pills, you must gainprehension and break through the Violet Pce Expansion Realm on your own."


    " However, Since I am in a good mood today, I will give you guys some new candies!"


    Long Ming took out a new bottle of pill and handed two pills to everyone.


    " Eat one now and eat one tomorrow." Long Ming smiled.


    " Hehe, thank you, Uncle Long! You are the best!"


    " Brother Long¡­" A ten year girl rushed to him as she looked at Long Ming with sparkling eyes.


    " When I will grow up, I will marry you!"


    " Hoho, Little Yaya, you really want to marry me, huh?" Long Ming grinned as he caressed her hairs. " However, there is a small problem."


    " What is it, Brother Long?"


    " Well, Too many girlswants to marry me." Long Ming winked. " Little Yaya, can you stand in the long queue?"


    " Why would I stand?" Little Yaya grinned. " I will simply beat everyone and marry you first."


    " Haha! Little Yaya is fierce. Very well then, I hope you cultivate well and grow up quickly."


    The children felt the days with Long Ming were the happiest days in their lives. After all, not only was their cultivation boosted, they had all sorts of fun with Long Ming.


    However, none of them knew it was theirst meeting with Long Ming.


    [ Ding! Questpleted! Constetion Humble Amodation is nodding with approval! You get 50 Star coins!]


    [ Some other Constetions were also nodding with approval! You gained 50 Star coins total!]


    " Well, Thank you for this, I guess?" Long Ming chuckled.


    [ Constetion Humble Amodation is smiling! He is saying that sometimes, you need to give a little help for a sapling to grow into a mighty tree!]


    " Alright, Enough of sweet talks." Long Ming yawned as he turned around and looked at the sky.


    " Qin Yong wanted to meet me, eh? I guess I should leave for the Holy Qilin City now."


    A pair of wings covered with storm wind and lightning arc appeared behind Long Ming''s back as he disappeared from his position and flew across the sky.


    [ Ding! Infinite Star Roulette is spinning! A random closed beta test of a System is activating!]


    [ Ding! Host received Prodigal Young Master System!]


    [ Ding! System is binding! Host, Please wait a second!]


    [ Ding! Prodigal Young Master System activated!]


    Long Ming''s expression changed when he saw the name of the new system he got.


    " Interesting, I wonder what this system does?"


    [ Money is a true power. Wealth is something that exists regardless of realms and dimensions]


    [ But what is the point of hoarding the wealth like a greedy dragon? Use of wealth lies in the flowing water of a river, not a pond of stagnant water]


    [ In this System, Host needs to spend the amount of treasures given by the system in a limited period of time]


    [ In return, Host can gain Credits which he can use to purchase various things in the store]


    [ Warning: The items shall vanish after their time is over. So, Host better use them within the time limit!]


    " Haha! Now this is some decent system." Long Ming smacked his lips when he saw the description.


    After all, who wouldn''t love to spend extravagantly? Who would''t love to crush their opponent with a mountain of sheer wealth?


    [ Ding! Constetion Imp of Great Wealth is thanking you for choosing his System! He is saying that he finally got a dumpster to clean his warehouse]


    " Umm¡­What?"


    [ Ding! Constetion Imp of Great Wealth is correcting his sentence! He means that he would love to share some of his wealth with you, unlike a certain yellow lizard]


    [ Ding! Gold Guarding Miser Dragon is angered! He is showing his ws and threatening Imp of Great Wealth to raid his realm]


    [ Ding! Constetion Chaotic Evil Contractor, Harem King of Nine World, and Demon King of Lust are eating popcorn in the background]


    '' Hah, I guess this imp is totally the opposite of that greedy dragon. No wonder they are bickering with each other.'' Long Ming became amused when he saw that.


    [ Ding! Giving novice gift package! Asking Host to receive it!]


    " Finally, the thing I love from every system!" Long Ming grinned as he opened the box.


    " Ding! Host received A Star tinum Grade Chest!]


    [ Opening the Chest! Host received a pair of Good and Bad Luck Coin!]


    [ Good and Bad Luck Coin: A Star tinum grade treasure! It''s a pair of golden and ck coins. You can use the ck coin to grant misfortune and the golden coin to grant good luck. You can use each coin only once!]


    " Well, As a one time use item, it''s very good. Hehe, I wonder whom I should use the ck coin?" Long Ming grinned as couldn''t help but approve of this system.


    However, as he was about to reach the outer circle of Holy Qilin City, he heard a shout.


    " Hurry up and protect Young Miss!"


    " Damn it! Those assassin bastards! Stop them!"


    Long Ming''s expression changed when he saw a fierce battle is erupting there.

 Chapter 243 Lightning Shower

    <h4>Chapter 243 Lightning Shower </h4>


    Long Ming''s used his Heavenly Revtion eyes as he looked at the scene from a safe distance.


    " Silver Scale Guards? Aren''t they the guards deployed to maintain discipline inside the Holy Qilin City?"


    " Not to mention, That carriage itself is a powerful Earth grade artifact that can even escape the pursuit of Harmonization Realm expert. And the guards of thatdies also very powerful."


    However, Long Ming merely shrugged as he turned around to leave, " Well, I shouldn''t meddle in the business of other people."


    Suddenly, the system window appeared before him with a bright blink.


    [ Ding! Daily quest is issued! Host is given one thousand Chain Lightning Talisman!]


    [ Chained Lightning Talisman: Talisman inscribed with runes infused with lightning qi. This Mystic grade talisman can even harm a Harmonization Realm cultivator!]


    [ Mission: Spend a thousand Chained Lightning Talisman before the midnight!]


    [ Reward: 1000 Points!]


    [ Failure: -500 Points!]


    [ Current bnce is 0. The negative amount of points shall deduct from the next reward of Host]


    '' Well, the punishment isn''t that bad. It''s like taking a loan, huh?'' Long Miong thought inwardly as he immediately got a thousand talismans in his inventory.


    Looking back to the fighting scene, Long Ming fell into a deep thought as he again surveyed the area carefully.


    " Five assassins of Harmonization Realm, Three of them are Low stage, Two of them are Mid stage. All of them were equipped with lethal and powerful techniques that reached thepletion stage. They are professionals after all."


    " However, There is still a High stage Harmonization Realm expert hiding in the dark. Perhaps he is the mastermind behind this attack, waiting to give one final strike."


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s grin turned wide when he forged a n toplete his mission.


    '' Assassins? Huh? Tsk, What kind of shitty assassins they are? I can see through their concealment so easily.''


    '' I guess I need to show them what real stealth looks like.''


    Thinking about that, Long Ming used the concealment of theher dragon as he vanished from his position.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Damn it! Do you even know who are you attacking?"


    " Hehe, why won''t we?"


    A masked figureughed as he thrust his shortsword, killing a dozen of guards at once.


    " Bastards! You dare!"


    An old man erupted with power as a several gigantic palms made up of energy appeared around him. Those purple hands shot towards the masked figures, trying to m them to death.


    However, the masked figures were very agile and powerful, easily dodging the attacks of the old man.


    " Steward Lu, Don''t worry. You''re going to die soon today!" One of the assassinsughed as he shed out his sword.


    His sword turned crimson as a vertical ze erupted, slicing the giant palms of the old man.


    The old man retreated several steps to dodge. However, his expression changed as he punched out to his side.


    *SWISH SWISH!*


    With arcs of lights shing, another assassin emerged from the darkness, holding a pair of daggers which was already bloodied.


    After stabbing the old man, the assassin retreated hurriedly. However, the old man''s eyes turned red as he stretched out his hand and made a crushing move.


    " Die!"


    *PLUFF!*


    The assassin''s body imploded as he turned into bloody pieces. However, the old man also sustained heavy injuries.


    " You all, Take young miss and escape. I am going to keep them here." The old man spoke as he bit his thumb and drew a bloody rune in the air.


    Suddenly, the carriage exploded as several lights shot in all directions.


    " That one! She is escaping in the west direction!"


    " Hurry and chase after her!"


    " Hah! Try to defeat me first, fuckers!"


    The old man''s hair fell as his body expanded. The true qi swirled around him with a berserk aura.


    " Great Earth Shattering Palm!"


    " Hmph! Are you burning your blood? It won''t be any of use!"


    Three assassins surrounded the old man, creating a formation as they raised their sword.


    " Three Blood Sword Formation! Attack!"


    *BOOM! BOOOM!*


    With a thundering noise, the old man and the three assassins collided as the air around them shook. However, the assassins were very cunning as they used the advantage of their formation, slowly chipping away the strength of the old man.


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Young Miss, Stay behind us!"


    " Don''t worry, We are going to escape alive!"


    " Hehe, Bold words."


    A woman floated in the air while two servants held their weapons, guarding her from two assassins before them. However, the air rippled as another figure appeared.


    Unlike other assassins, he didn''t wear any mask and looked very calm. He also didn''t radiate the slightest bit of energy, making him even more terrifying.


    " You think you can escape alive after killing me?" The woman Directly support the authors on WebNovel!


    asked in a calm voice, without any fear in her eyes.


    " Of course, Otherwise I wouldn''t have taken this mission." The " You think you can escape alive after killing me?" The woman asked in a calm voice, without any fear in her eyes.


    manughed.


    Suddenly, with a p of thunder, the distant battlefield brightened up with crackling lighting.


    Everyone became startled as the pir of lightning was extremely bright, lighting up the sky.


    " Heh, It looks like Old Lu and his subordinate died." The man chuckled. " Now, what are you going to do, huh?"


    " You!"


    Hearing about Old Lu, the girl couldn''t help but get sad. " Hmph! But don''t you think I am afraid of you? Even if I am weak, I will fight you to death!"


    " Hah! Bold words! Unfortunately, you will die in the end."


    The man stood calmly as his subordinates made their move. However, his expression changed as he turned around, waving his hand and caught an arrow.


    *CRACKLE! CRACKLE!*


    The pink colored lightning carried a bright paper that exploded with lightning. But the man snorted as he extinguished the lightning instantly.


    " Hmph! Who dares to sneak attack on me, Huh? Courting death!"


    " You are indeed!"


    A voice answered with a lightugh, making the man stunned. He couldn''t feel the presence of the other party at all.


    Suddenly, the sky lit up with a pink burst of light as a pink color flower blood like fireworks. Hundreds of arrows suddenly showered towards the man and his subordinate.


    However, the man''s expression finally changed when he saw each arrow was carrying a talisman on its tip.


    " FUCK!"


    *RUMBLE RUMBLE!*


    The pink arrows suddenly turned into chains of lightning, as if type of white lightning serpents swarming towards them.


    " Blood Sky Dome!"


    " Raging Blood sh!"


    " Damn it! How many talismans that bastard is using?!"


    *BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*


    Lightning erupted from the talismans as they fell on the man and his subordinates like a shower.


    " Arrgh! My body!"


    " ARRRGGHHH!"


    The talismans swirled around them forming a lightning prison.


    " Damn, it really feels good.

 Chapter 244 Saving The Lady

    <h4>Chapter 244 Saving The Lady </h4>


    The man''s eyes turned red when he saw his subordinates kept bombarded by the lightning.


    " Damn it! Everyone, Dodge! It''s Chained Lightning Talisman!" The man shouted loudly. " Just try to destroy the talisman before the-"


    Before he could even finish his sentence, another volley of arrows bloomed like flower across the sky, and the lightning descended once again.


    The man''s eyes almost popped out from shock when he saw that. " fuck! How many talismans you have?!"


    One had to know crafting a talisman isn''t like pill refinement. An average talisman master can craft only one talisman at a time and can make only a few talismans per day as it toils on spiritual energy too much.


    Not to mention, the amount of talismans the attacker spent already surpassed a few hundred. Yet they stille towards them like a normal volley of arrows.


    " Damn it! I need to escape!" The man finally panicked as he bit his lips, drawing out the blood and igniting it with his true qi.


    Although he was at the Peak of Harmonization Realm and don''t fear one of dozens of Chained Lightning Talisman, a hundred or over can still injure him heavily. Not to mention the attacker was using it in such a way that the power of talismans superimposing on each other.


    A blood mist covered the the man as he vanished form the ce. The blood most turned into several rays of light and shot toward all the directions.


    However, hundreds of paper talisman moved like a giant palm opening as the finger spread across, epassing one of?those bloody rays of light.


    Suddenly, all the paper talismans lit up with a light blue color lightning as they surrounded the bloody ray like a lightning cage.


    *BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*


    " AARGHH!"


    The man''s scream echoed as he materialized from the bloody ray. " How! How did you find me out from my escape technique!"


    " Bastard! Let me go! Let me- AGAARGHHHH!"


    As the lightning cage surrounded the man, the asional lightning chainsshed out at him for a while, making him cry in agony.


    Meanwhile, thedy and his subordinates were dumbfounded when they saw the scene.


    " What are you waiting for?" Thedy finally to her senses as she looked at her servants. " Kill them!"


    " Ye-Yes, Youngdy!"


    Seeing the assassins heavily injured assassins the servants of thedy swung their weapons and killed them.


    Not to mention, the mastermind was also trapped by the talismans, making him suppressed and injured. After another round of fights, he also got killed by the servants.


    Thedy remained stunned as she saw all the assassins got killed. Suddenly, thinking about something, she rushed back where the old man was fighting.


    " Elder Lu! Are you alright?"


    " Cough! Cough! Miss, What are you doing¡­Here?"


    The old man coughed a mouthful of blood as he looked at the thedy with shock. " Those assassins¡­"


    " They are dead." Thedy nodded as she hurriedly took out a pill.


    " No need¡­Miss." The old man crawled on the ground and slowly got up. " I already eaten some healing pills. Just¡­Give me some¡­Moment."


    " Well? I guess you really cleaned up the mess, huh?"


    Thedy became rmed as he turned around, only to see a young man in white clothes standing a little far from them.


    However, she could only see his finger and his pair of azure eyes, the remaining face was covered by a white scarf.


    " Benefactor, Thank you for saving thisdy''s life." Thedy cupped her fist and bowed. " I shall always indebted to you."


    " No worries, I was just cleaning some talismans which got stocked in my spatial ring."


    Who it could be, if not Long Ming?"


    Thedy, the old man and her servants became stunned when they heard the answer of Long Ming.Spending hundreds of talismans because they were lying useless?


    " If benefactors allows, may I know your identity?" Thedy asked in a careful voice.


    Long Ming had to admit that thedy was quite a beauty. She looked like a girl in herte twenties, retaining both the charm of her youth with the aura of maturity.


    If given an example, she looks like the beautiful elder sister living next door.


    " Well, I doubt I would like to reveal my identity." Long Ming snorted lightly. " Engaging in the affair of Imperial Family hardly does anything good."


    " Who says we belong to the Imperial Family?" Thedy spoke in a light voice.


    " Miss, Don''t take me as a blind person. Although all of you were well hidden, the carriage was something that belonged to the Qin Family in general. Not to mention, during the fight, the City Guards were doing their best to protect you. Sad that most of them died."


    " Anyway, They already gave the signal. So, the reinforcement might being. I shall go now."


    " Benefactor, Wait!"


    Thedy called out hurriedly, making Long Ming frown a bit. " Lady, If you want to give me some reward, do it quickly. If not, no need to waste my time."


    " Hmph, Do you know who are you talking to? One of the servants snorted as he looked at Long Ming with a bit of anger.


    However, his expression changed when Long Ming''s eyes narrowed, revealing his killing intent. His calm and serene Deste Immortal Aura turned into something like a violent storm mixed with his killing intent, forming a powerful oppression.


    " Well, I don''t think I need to know who she is. But what''s the point of your identity if you can''t protect yourself?." Long Ming spoke in a mocking voice.


    " Indeed, Young Master is right." Thedy bowed as she looked at Long Ming with a calm gaze. " I hope Young Master can help me."


    " No, I won''t." Long Ming spoke in a cold voice. " I don''t want to mess with Imperial Family."


    " Now, If you please, I shall take my leave." Long Ming turned around as he wanted to leave.


    '' Tsk, that man was at the peak of Harmonization Realm, However, he git crushed by four hundred Chained Lightning Talisman. And I also spent three hundred talismans to deal with the remaining assassins.''


    '' I still have three hundred Chained Lightning Talisman remaining. I wonder how should I use it.''


    " Young Master Long, Please, I need your help."


    Long Ming paused his movements as his eyes narrowed. Turning around, she saw thedy bowing towards her respectively.


    " Please, Don''t worry, Young Master. I am not threatening or pushing you at all. However, If you help me, I shall definitely repay you with any reward you can ask for."


    " Also, If you save me, I can be the help of Second Prince Qin Yong."


    " Is that so?" Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he looked at thedy.Suddenly, he used his spiritual qi and activated his Heavenly Revtion Eyes.


    '' She isn''t lying. But it''s also true that she got something to do with the Imperial Family.''


    '' Hmm, I can help her first. And then I will ask Jiang Wanxue about it.'' Long Ming took out a token as he injected spiritual qi into it.


    " Well, Miss, You convinced me a little bit. Tell me, What sort of help do you want?"


    " Just keep me safe for tonight." Thedy asked." Also, help my subordinates recover."


    " Is that so?"


    Suddenly, an idea appeared in Long Ming''s heart as he grinned widely.


    " Then, you have to do a work for me."

 Chapter 245 Sister In Law?

    <h4>Chapter 245 Sister In Law? </h4>


    " Damn it! Hurry up!"


    " Fuck! It looks like they still failed in the end! We need to clean up the mess now!"


    A group of people rushed towards the ce where the battle happened.


    '' Damn it, I thought they created a signal intercepting formation? How? How did the message still appear?''


    ''Never mind, even if they failed, it''s my chance to shine.'' A person chuckled inwardly as he saw a broken carriage lying in the middle of nowhere.


    " Tha''s it! That''s her carriage!" A man in armor shouted as he pointed at the carriage. " Track the qi aura right now!"


    However, he felt something wrong as he saw the carriage was entirely burned out. The smokey scent was still in the air, with a few arcs of lightning crackling on the broken wooden nks.


    " Captain! We can''t find any qi aura." One of the guards shouted. " The entire area is filled with a dense amount of lightning qi. The lightning qi already erased the relevant qi aura now."


    " Damn it!"


    The man cursed. " Just spread around and find them. I can''t believe they were able to escape!"


    " Huh? Is the ground seem to be glowing?"


    " What do you mean?"


    The man was surprised as he looked at his feet. He could see a faint gleam inside the soil, as if someone was lighting a candle beneath the soil.


    " Wait! Everyone! Blo-!"


    *CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE! BOOOOOMMM!*


    The ground exploded with chains of pure lightning as if hundreds of lightning sakes swarming out of the ground. The bodies of weak soldiers instantly turned into charcoal while some tried to struggle.


    However, no matter what, in front of an overwhelming flood of lightning chains, no one could escape at all.


    A little far from there, a figure was hiding, looking at the scene with pure shock.


    '' Damn it¡­ To think it will work this well!''


    The figure shivered a bit when he saw the blood and burning across the entire area.


    He was none other than a servant of thedy whom Long Ming saved.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    A while ago.


    Everyone became speechless when they heard Long Ming''s n.


    Suddenly, everyone had the same thought in their heart.


    '' What kind of spendthrift are you?''


    " So, you want me to keep one of my servants here?" Thedy looked at Long Ming and nodded.


    " Mydy, I shall stay here." One servant of the Harmonization realm bowed.


    " My escape technique already reached the perfection stage. So, If I wish, not many can catch me."


    " Since you insist¡­ But be careful. If you feel anything wrong, just turn around and escape." Thedy spoke in a serious voice.


    " Yes, Mydy."


    " Very well, Since everyone is now ready." Long Ming''s smile brightened. " First, we need to erase our traces in this area."


    " How are we going to do that?" Thedy couldn''t help but ask curiously.


    " Wash it with lightning, of course!"


    Long Ming grinned as he pulled out a hundred Chained Lightning Talisman.


    " Help me to put these around, ok?"


    *BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!*


    The servants sprinkled around the talismans like paper flowers as they exploded with powerful chained lightning, making the entire area burn with lightning.


    " How does it feel, Lady? Fascinating, right?" Long Ming stood beside the woman as he chuckled. " I hope this little show can entertain this miss."


    " It really lifts my mood indeed. It''s like a firework of lightning." Thedy sighed as she nodded with approval.


    She truly felt a bit of sweetness when she saw the scene.


    " Now, since have cleansed the ce¡­ Now, everyone, nt the remaining talismans under the ground."


    " ???"


    " ??? What?"


    Everyone was stunned when they heard Long Ming.


    " You are going to stay behind, right?" Long Ming pointed at the servant. " When the pursuing enemy reaches here, simply detonate these underground talismans."


    " Ye-Yes?"


    The servant was stunned when he heard that. At first, he thought Long Ming wanted to make him stay behind to gather info about the enemy.


    But he never thought Long Ming was nning to massacre another batch of enemies like this.


    " Hurry up! We don''t have time!"


    Long Ming pulled out the remaining talismans and threw them in the sky.


    " nt them underground and stay alert. When you see the enemies are inside the radius¡­Hehe.."


    The servant shivered when he thought amount hundreds of Chained Lightning Talismans exploding at the same time. It was enough to raze down a hundred meters of area instantly.


    " Alright, Since this is done, we should leave," Old Lu looked at thedy as she nodded.


    " However, where shall we go? There might be a lot of people looking for us. Not to mention, we don''t know who is our enemy yet."


    " Well, If you are trying to look for a safe ce, I can take you there."


    " Are you sure?"


    " Why not?" Long Ming gave a mysterious grin. " Believe me, no one will ever try to find you in that ce."


    Only Old Lu and thedy followed Long Ming, while the remaining servants went in different directions to lure away the enemy.


    However, when they reached the so called safe ce, their eyes turned wide.


    " Th-This¡­What the hell is this?" Old Lu looked at Long Ming. " How can you bring us here?"


    " What? Didn''t I say it''s a safe ce?" Long Ming grinned. " Do you think anyone woulde here to look for you?"


    " Yo-You!" Old Lu became so angry that he felt his wounds opening once again and he almost coughed out a mouthful of blood.


    " Grandpa Lu, He is right. I don''t think anyone wille here to find us." Thedy took a deep breath and nodded.


    The ce Long Ming took them was the Flower Pce Garden, the most popr brothel of Holy Qilin City.


    " Wee, Young Master¡­ And this youngdy¡­"


    The courtesan girl was stunned when she saw Long Ming with another beauty.


    Although it was peculiar, a lot of customers bring their owndies here. So, she didn''t think about it much.


    " Well, I wish to use the White Flower Courtyard." Long Ming showed her a token, making the courtesan bow


    " Of course, Young Master. Pleasee with me."


    " Also, Shall we send some humbledies to serve yo¡­"


    " No need. Just prepare a separate room, bath, and food for this gentleman." Long Ming pointed at Old Lu.


    " What? I will follow the miss!" Old Lu shook his head as he red at Long Ming.


    " Well, I need to have some private talks with this miss. Not to mention, you should take some rest, Old man." Long Ming grinned.


    " Yo-You!"


    " Grandpa Lu, It''s alright." Thedy nodded as she followed Long Ming.


    " Take some rest and be alert."


    After reaching the entrance of the White Flower Garden, Long Ming looked at thedy. " Aren''t you trusting me a bit too much?"


    " I have my reasons to do it." Thedy smiled lightly. But she paused as she saw a familiar figure in the courtyard.


    " My, So here you are¡­Sister inw."


    Jiang Wanxue looked at thedy with a cold gaze."

 Chapter 246 Will You Sleep With Me?

    <h4>Chapter 246 Will You Sleep With Me? </h4>


    " Huh??"


    Long Ming looked at thedy with wide eyes when he heard Jiang Wanxue calling.


    " What? She is the second prince''s wife?" Long Ming asked in shock.


    " Well, Not really." Jiang Wanxue looked at him.


    " Ahem, It''s truly my fault for not introducing myself." Thedy bowed.


    " I am Qiu Ruoyou, wife of First Prince Qin Zhen. My father is the Sect Master of Eastern Sky Sect which is situated in the far most point of Eastern Province."


    " I see¡­ So it''s Lady Qiu." Long Ming nodded. But inwardly, he frowned even more.


    Qiu Ruoyou was the main wife of Prince Qin Zhen. So, naturally, her status in the Imperial Family should be much more than average members.


    However, she was still hunted like this. This means something really went wrong in the Imperial Pce.


    " Well, What should I do with you, Sister in Law?" Jiang Wanxue spoke in a cold voice.


    " After all, You killed the advisor of First Prince, stole the valuable treasure map fragment of a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm Cultivator''s Tomb?"


    " What? What did you say?" Qiu Ruoyou''s expression changed when she heard that.


    " So¡­ He really did that?"


    " A great part of City Guards are under Qin Zhen. So, before the others could reach you, you will fall to their hands."


    " I have already fallen." Qiu Ruoyou sighed bitterly. " If it wasn''t for Young Master Long, I wouldn''t be talking with you right here."


    " So, What should I do, Sister in Law?" Jiang Wanxue spoke lightly as she sat on the chair.


    " You are already dered as the traitor for the half of the family. Not to mention, it''s not guaranteed if you can prove yourself innocent before getting killed."


    " Is that so?" Qiu Ruoyou looked at Jiang Wanxue. " Well, If Second Prince wants, I can easily go back to my sect."


    " You are talking like the Second Prince is not a member of the Imperial Family?"


    " At least not the part who wants to hunt me down." Qiu Ruoyou looked at her.


    "?Well, Why don''t you hand over the map to me? I think I might help you after I see it." Jiang Wanxue spoke in a cold voice.


    " Would you believe me if I said I didn''t steal it?" Qiu Ruoyou smiled lightly.


    " No." Jiang Wanxue answered in a t voice " Don''t you think I don''t know how cunning you are, Sister in Law."


    " Oh my, I don''t think intelligence can be called as cunningness. You are painting me in a bad light."


    " Oh, can you just cut it out?" Jiang Wanxue snorted.


    " And you! What the hell are you doing?!" Jiang Wanxue turned around and shouted at Long Ming, who was sitting on the side and drinking wine.


    " Oh, No need to mind me, Please go ahead and bicker all you want." Long Ming waved his hands.


    He wasn''t joking either. Long Ming had zero intentions to get into the troubles of the Imperial Family. Not to mention, Qiu Ruoyou seemed to be deeply offended the First Prince Qin Zhen.


    '' I hope no one notices my involvement. Otherwise, I can''t travel around with peace.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    [ Ding! Host sessfully used one thousand Chained Lightning Talismans! Host gets 1000 Credits!]


    " Long Ming! Are being for real?" Jiang Wanxue couldn''t help but feel speechless at Long Ming''s attitude.


    " What?" Long Ming rolled his eyes. " As I informed you on the talisman, I brought her here. As for what to do, none of it is my concern."


    " So, Are you backing away?" Jiang Wanxue looked at her. " Why are you sozy and boring?"


    " Miss, It''s called not meddling in other people''s business." Long Ming retorted.


    " Hmph! I will deal with youter." Jiang Wanxue snorted as she looked at Qiu Ruoyou.


    " So, Are you really telling the truth? You don''t have the map?"


    " I am really telling the truth." Qiu Ruoyou spoke in a mild voice." You might think that''s the reason I am getting hunted down. However, It''s a different matter."


    " For example¡­ Involvement of Qin Zhen with Rock Mermen Tribe and Grand Beast Sect of Southern Province?"


    Jiang Wanxue''s eyelid shrank when she heard that. " Are you telling..The truth?"


    " I can''t say for sure. However, I know something fishy is going on." Qiu Ruoyou replied.


    " Therefore, I propose a trade." Qiu Rouyou looked at Jiang Wanxue. " I shall give you the little information about Qin Zhen and you must help me to clear my name."


    " Well¡­This doesn''t change anything." Jiang Wanxue looked at her. " Helping you would be very hard. And, If elder brother¡­"


    " You don''t need to worry about that much, Sister in Law." Qiu Ruoyou smiled. " Just wait for a day and two and I will manage to help myself. However, till then¡­You need to keep me safe."


    " I¡­ I shall see." Jiang Wanxue rubbed her forehead. " What do you say?"


    " Why asking me?" Long Ming looked at her.


    " Oh my, I thought the esteemed Young Master Long shall indulge himself in the Hundred Flower Pce tonight. So, Why not help to keep my Sistw here safe?" Jiang Wanxue spoke in a half mocking voice.


    " Aiya, Miss Jiang really misunderstands me. How can I indulge myself with ordinary courtesean?" Long Ming shook his head in pity. " I only came here to enjoy music and dance."


    " However, If Miss Jiang apany me tonight for a deep and private dao discussion, I can consider about it."


    " Yo-You!"


    Jiang Wanxue''s face turned red as she could understand the hidden implications of Long Ming.


    " Pervert, If you dare to say something like that again, I will kill you." Jiang Wanxue snorted as she looked at him with angry gaze.


    " Anyway, Just keep and eye on her. I can appreciate that you chose a good location to hide her. However, the eyes of Imperial Family is everywhere. So, Be cautious."


    " What? No way!" Long Ming shouted. " I will NOT stay here!"


    " Even if you are given extra rewards?" Jiang Wanxue looked at him.


    " What is it?"


    " Th-That''s¡­Something I will tell tomorrow." Jiang Wanxue stammered as she turned around, leaving hastily.


    " Remember! If you get caught, you will die!"


    " Damn it!"


    Long Ming cursed when he saw Jiang Wanxue escape right away.


    " Well, I hope I am not burdening Young Master Long much." Qiu Ruoyou adjusted her regal garment as she took a seat. Her eyes were clear as she looked like a refineddy.


    " The fragrance of the wine is the ever-changing seasons. Sometimes, spicy and robust, and sometimes frigid and refreshing." Qiu Ruoyou looked at the urn in Long Ming''s hand.


    " Is this the rumored Four Seasons True Wine?"


    " Miss Qiu is very knowledgeable." Long Ming raised the crystal ss which was shining with the Four Seasons True Wine."


    " But, I don''t think a refineddy like Miss Qiu shall drink it."


    " Who said?"


    Long Ming paused when he heard Qiu Ruoyou''s answer.


    " Like tea, wine is also a drink. Drunkenness might cause one to lose etiquette. However, at this ce¡­" Qiu Ruoyou smiled. " I don''t have the fear to lose it."


    " So, I shall be grateful if you pour thisdy a cup of wine."


    " Err¡­Sure." Long Ming was speechless as he poured him some wine.


    Soon enough, she already drank three cups.


    " Good! Such a good wine!" Qiu Ruoyou giggled. Her pearly teeth along with her tinklingughter made the atmosphere much better.


    " Young Master Long, I would like to ask you a question."


    " Yes, Lady Qiu?"


    " Will you sleep with me?"

 Chapter 247 Lady Qiu’s Fall From Grace

    <h4>Chapter 247 Lady Qiu''s Fall From Grace </h4>


    Long Ming almost spat out his wine when he heard Qiu Ruoyou.


    " Miss Qiu, I beg your pardon?" Long Ming stammered as he looked at Qiu Ruoyou with an eye of disbelief.


    " No need to look at me like that, Young Master Long." Qiu Ruoyou smiled lightly. " I know what I am saying and I am not joking either."


    " Well¡­???"


    Long Ming had many things running in his mind, but he couldn''t make anything out of them. However, taking a deep breath, his expression returned to the usual calmness as he looked at Qiu Ruoyou.


    " Spending a night with a beautiful flower like you is a dream of countless men, Miss Qiu."


    " However, I think this schr is unworthy of such privilege." Long Ming refused straightforwardly.


    After all, no matter how horny he is always, Long Ming hasn''t reached a point where he thinks with his dick only.


    A nobledy, the wife of the First Prince of the Holy Qilin Empire and someone already reached the Harmonization stage before the age of thirty is asking him to sleep with her out of nowhere?


    Even a blind person can see the ring red g in this suggestion.


    '' Is she trying to ckmail me or something? Or, The First Prince created a big act and sent her here?''


    " Hmm, That''s rather unexpected." Qiu Ruoyou took another sip of wine. " I didn''t think you would reject me."


    " I mean, Why would you? No ordinary man will reject my advance like this?"


    " Hmm, But then, You aren''t ordinary at all. Now it seems feasible."


    Long Ming instantly got weirded out when he heard the monologue of Qiu Ruoyou. '' What the fuck? Is she a bit cranked in her head?''


    " Oh, How disgraceful of me." Qiu Ruoyou suddenly looked at Long Ming and smiled. " I apologize for talking like that. Sometimes, I talk like that."


    " It-It''s alright, Miss Qiu." Long Ming nodded with a light smile.


    " So, Yes¡­I was talking regarding you sleeping with me, So, Young Master Long, I can assure you that I don''t have any ulterior motive."


    " How should I put this¡­Hmmm? Ah, It''s like a woman who is dissatisfied with her marriage seeking sce in another man''s arms?"


    " Where did you read that anyway?" Long Ming asked in a speechless voice. " Don''t tell me Miss Qiu reads that kind of books?"


    " Haha, Young Master Long is sharp indeed." Qiu Ruoyouughed lightly.


    " Again, I request you to indulge me for a night, Young Master Long." Qiu Ruoyou looked at Long Ming.


    " Because I truly want to take revenge on the bastard who pinned his me on me."


    " So, You will, right? Or perhaps¡­You don''t have what it needs to please me?"


    Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he suddenly felt a pair of palms slowly kneading his shoulders and a gush of warm breath tickled his nape.


    Qiu Ruoyou''s voice was alluring, like a noble woman slowly opening her boudoir for another man.


    " Amusing. I don''t like when a person tries to gauge my manhood."


    Long Ming didn''t lose his calm instantly, but he decided to check some things onest time.


    He turned on the Favorability Screen and saw Qiu Ruoyou''s favorability towards him.


    Long Ming chuckled as he got up, turning around and pulling Qiu Ruoyou into his embrace.


    " Since Lady Qiu is so eager, I shall indulge her in springs and dews."


    Qiu Ruoyou let out a yelp as she got lifted by Long Ming like a princess as he captured her lips in a dominant and passionate way.


    " Nnnphhh!~"


    She felt her breath hitching as her lips were sealed by Long Ming''s lips, his tongue parted her lips entered inside her mouth and slowly entangled with her tongue.


    Qiu Ruoyou felt electricity jolting her body as she saw Long Ming carry her inside.


    Her heart galloped like a wild horse in the fields. For the first time, she felt a man dominating both her body and mind like that.


    cing her on the bed, Long Ming jumped on the bed. " Well, Before doing the deed, I would like to ask Miss Qiu about her husband."


    " Does First Prince Qin Zhen perform well in bed?"


    " Hmm, I don''t know. I never did with him." Qiu Ruoyou thought for a moment and smiled as her fingers traced the face of Long Ming.


    " Wait, what?" Long Ming was baffled. " Does that mean¡­"


    " I am a virgin, Yes." Qiu Ruoyou grinned. " Why, Does that make you happier?"


    " Of course." Long Ming grinned. " This means, your will have a better experience as your first time."


    " Mmm??!"


    Qiu Ruoyou gasped as she felt Long Ming''s hands swiftly opening her robe, revealing her delicate snow white skin even more.


    " A light blue colorundergarment with a flower pattern, even your undergarment is refined, Lady Qiu." Long Ming grinned as his fingers traced her chin to all the way below her thighs.


    " However, I guess your pleasure must be heightened because such a nobledy doing such¡­ disgraceful things? Hm? Answer me, Lady."


    " Nnhhh!~ Yes¡­You are¡­right!"


    Qiu Ruoyou turned her gaze away as her whole skin turned into a beautiful shade of pink. " Just¡­Start already!"


    " Why should I?" Long Ming grinned. " The moment you entered the bedroom with me, I became the master of this room."


    " And until I wish, You can''t make me force to do anything, My dear."


    " Mmphh!~"


    Before Qiu Ruoyou could protest, Long Ming kissed her again, shushing her effectively.


    " Now, Be a cooperative partner and help me to take off my clothes like I did." Long Ming spoke in a dominant voice.


    " I¡­"


    Qiu Ruoyou bither lips as she looked at Long Ming with a strange gaze. However, without protesting, she started to help him to take off his clothes.


    " Although clumsy, I like that you are willing to learn."


    Long Ming grinned as his bare, masculine body without a single w revealed before Qiu Ruoyou''s eyes, making her gasp lightly.


    Pressing Qiu Ruoyou under his body, Long Ming traced her soft cheeks yfully.


    " Lady Qiu, I shall ask you once again, Are you really willing to do this?"


    " I¡­ I do." Qiu Ruoyou bit her lips as she looked away, but Long Ming held her chin and forced her to look at him.


    " Very well, Then it''s my duty to slowly teach you about the art of pleasure."


    Long Ming''s grin widened as plum blossom petals swirled around their body, creating a rxing yet arousing fragrance.


    " Lady Qiu, Have you ever mastrubated?"


    " Hu-Huh? What do you me-NNNGHHH!~"


    Qiu Ruoyou was surprised at the sudden question of Long Ming. However, before she could reply, she suddenly felt Long Ming''s fingers tracing upward from her thighs and slolwy touched her quiveringher region.


    His touch was simple yet masterful, making a strange surge of current spread in her body from there making her moan.


    " Th-This¡­What are you doing¡­You shouldn''t touch¡­HNNGHH!~"


    Qiu Ruoyou barely said anything as Long Ming used his Ecstatic Cloud Fingers once again, making her jolt back on the bed. Her face turned red as she felt her body squeaking with pleasure.


    " As I said, Miss Qiu, You are going to experience the bliss of heaven for your first time." Long Ming grinned.


    " Allow me to fully demonstrate it to you."

 Chapter 248 Lady Qiu and Pleasure (R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 248 Lady Qiu and Pleasure (R-18) </h4>


    " Haah¡­Hahh¡­What is¡­What are you¡­doing¡­"


    Qiu Ruoyou''s slender fingers clutched the bedsheets?as she panted sweetly. Her body waspletely exposed before Long Ming, without a single thread covering her.


    Long Ming''s face was between her legs, teasing her feminine parts with rich expertise. Her pussy lips were like petals of rose, which Long Ming flicked with his tongue, making Qiu Ruoyou jolt.


    " Ahhnnn!~ It feels so¡­.Young Master¡­"


    " Long Ming¡­or¡­You can call me darling." Long Ming spoke with a jestful voice.


    " Da-Darling¡­It''s¡­dirty there."


    Qiu Ruoyou spoke as she bit her finger. Although she said that, she couldn''t help but sigh at how amazing it felt.


    " Well, Nothing is dirty here, Ruoyou. I am simply giving you pleasure, That''s all."


    " Nnnghhh! It''s¡­Touching¡­NNHGHH!~"


    Qiu Ruoyou''s eyes snapped wide as she felt Long Ming''s tongue invading inside her sacred well. The tip gently teased her sweet spot, making Qiu Ruoyou clench the sheets harder.


    " Nnghhh!~ I am¡­Something ising out¡­"


    *PSSSHHH*


    Although Long Ming backed away a bit, the pleasure juice of Qiu Ruoyou spurted out like a fountain, drenching his face with a citrusy smell.


    " HAAHH! HAAH¡­Wh-What was that¡­"


    Qiu Ruoyou panted as she looked at Long Ming. " Did I¡­pissed on you¡­"


    " Oh, Not really. You just ejacted because you got excited." Long Ming grinned. " You know, It''s necessary for both parters to be wet, especially the women for a better sexual performance."


    " Is..Is that so?" Qiu Ruoyou asked with a panting tone. " But¡­he¡­he never did that with other¡­women. He just¡­kept humping them and¡­Finished after an hour and¡­two."


    The ''he'' here is naturally Qin Zhen, the husband of Qiu Ruoyou.


    " Is that so?" Long Ming snorted lightly.


    " Well, I believe sex is something that must pleasure everyone who are partaking it. Being selfish and pleasuring oneself only is simply a matter of low skill and mentality."


    " But fret not, Ruoyou."


    Qiu Ruoyou''s heartbeat increased as she again felt Long Ming''s weight pressing on her bare body once again.


    She felt her heart fluttering when Long Ming called her ''Ruoyou'' so affectionately.


    " You won''t need to fake moan. I will make sure each of your e from the depth of pleasure."


    " Haah¡­Yes¡­I hope so."


    Qiu Ruoyou took a deep breath as her arms wrapped around Long Ming''s neck affectionately.


    " Then take me, Darling. Tonight, let me feel my first man¡­"


    " As you wish, Lady Qiu¡­"


    Qiu Ruoyou''s breath hitched as she felt something hot and stiff rubbing against her wet sacred well. Thinking about Long Ming''s massive member, Qiu Ruoyou felt blood rushing in her veins.


    " Ahhn¡­AHHHNNN!~"


    Qiu Ruoyou felt her sacred well stretched while Long Ming''s hardened member slowly pushed its way inside.


    " Qiu Ruoyou¡­From now on, You are my woman."


    " AHNNN!~"


    Qiu Ruoyou''s expression twisted as she hugged Long Ming tightly.


    " It''s hurting! It''s hurting there!~"


    " It''s alright¡­It''s alright. It won''t hurt any longer."


    *SNIFF! SNIFF!*


    " Damn it¡­It really hurt too much¡­"


    Tear droplets fell from her eyes as Qiu Ruoyouined. However, she felt petals of plum blossoms swirling around her, giving off a gentle and soothing fragrance that made her pain slowly subside.


    Long Ming''s movements were gentle as if he was making her inner walls adjust with his size. " Oh, Is it hurting that much? Should I take it out?"


    " NO! Do¡­Not!"


    Qiu Ruoyou replied instantly, which even surprised herself.


    '' This¡­this is so strange¡­It was painful a moment ago¡­yet now the movements¡­It''s so¡­pleasurable.''


    " Then¡­Let me begin¡­"


    With a grin, Long Ming started to move his hips, making his length grind the inner walls of Qiu Ruoyou.


    " Ahnn!~Ahnn!~ It feels so good! It feels amazing!"


    " Hnnghh!~ I am cumming again!~"


    Just a little teasing and Qiu Ruoyou climaxed once again. Long Ming was surprised at how sensitive her virgin body was.


    Not to mention the overwhelming amount of Fragran Yin Qi inside her body which was getting devoured by him.


    *PAA! PAA! PAA! PAA!*


    The sound of flesh pping against each other along with Qiu Ruoyou''s sweet moan made the entire White Flower Courtyard fill with the energy of lust.


    " Uwooohh!~ It''s hitting¡­the sweet spot! My inners¡­It''s like¡­"


    Qiu Ruoyou gasped as she closed her eyes in pleasure. " They are feeling like getting stretched apart."


    " Nnnghh!~ Not my breasts¡­They are so sensitive...Ahhhnnnh!~"


    Long Ming cupped her huge pair of jade rabbits as his hips continued to pound Qiu Ruoyou. Lowering her face, he sucked the peak of both mountains at the same time, making Qiu Ruoyou''s body flooded with pleasure.


    " How are you feeling, Ruoyou?" Long Ming grinned as he saw her flushed expression.


    " Coming to a brothel and spreading your virgin legs before another man, Hm? I guess behind your noble nature¡­ There is a different person altogether."


    " Do-Don''t talk to me¡­like that, Ahn!~"


    Qiu Ruoyou tried to retort. But in retaliation, Long Ming gave a deep thrust, turning herint into another moan.


    " Oh, I will talk like that¡­ And¡­It''s not like you don''t like to get dirty talked, right?"


    " Hnnnngh!~ Stop! My body can''t bear so much¡­Pleasure~"


    '' It''s like I am falling into an abyss of bliss and lust. It was a different form of joy, which I never experienced.''


    '' Even though he only has two hands¡­His gaze, his talks, the movement of his body¡­It''s like hundreds of hands are ying my body, each of them pleasing me entirely.''


    '' Not too forceful, but enough to dominate me¡­Not too ttering, but enough to love me.''


    '' I guess my choice wasn''t bad at all.''


    " Haah! Haah! Ruoyou¡­I am about to¡­"


    " Yes?"


    Qiu Ruoyou''s internal monologue broke when she heard Long Ming''s grunt. " Wh-What do you..AHNNGH!~"


    " Haah! Darling! You are making me ache in pleasure¡­"


    Qiu Rouoyou held Long Ming tightly as she felt she was tightening around his rod.


    " Darling! I am cumming again!~"


    " Me too!~"


    " Ahhhnnghh!~"


    Qiu Ruoyou and Long Ming shared a passionate kiss as Qiu Ruoyou''s legs wrapped around Long Ming''s waist, making him ejacte deep inside her.


    The gush of warmness inside her sacred well made Qiu Ruoyou feel a sensation of fulfillment.


    Guilt and shame that she felt handing her maidenhood to another man other than her husband, slowly turned into even more bliss and pleasure for Qiu Ruoyou.


    " Ruoyou¡­"


    " Mmm¡­Long Ming."


    The pair rolled on the bed with affection and romance, not caring about the patch of red and other fluids staining the sheets.


    As the night passed and the sun rose in the eastern sky, the door was opened by Jiang Wnaxue.


    " Alright, I think we can make a deal¡­"


    Before shepleted her sentence, Jiang Wanxue paused as her eyes turned wide.


    " Ah, Sister in Law¡­You are pretty early."


    Qiu Ruoyou was naked as she sat before the mirror, trying to wear her gown while Long Ming sleeping naked on the bed.


    The messy sheet and the still trembling legs of Qiu Ruoyou gave enough information about the event that happened the night before.


    " What the fuck!?"

 Chapter 249 Surprising The Beauties

    <h4>Chapter 249 Surprising The Beauties </h4>


    The chirping of birds and the soft sound of the wind made the morning even more peaceful. The soft sound of tes and cups clinking and Long Ming sitting with his Plum Blossoms Fan fanning lightly created a picturesque scene.


    Qiu Ruoyou was like a virtuous wife, sitting beside him, pouring a cup of tea which created various flowers from its mist.


    " Enough!"


    Jiang Wanxue mmed on the table as she looked at both of them. " Do you have any idea what you guys did?"


    " Sister inw, You shouldn''t be angry like that. Your face might get wrinkles from the stress." Qiu Ruoyou smiled lightly.


    " Here, have some freshly brewed Eastern Sea Tea. It will calm your mind and nourish your soul."


    " Have you guys gone mad?" Jiang Wanxue rubbed her forehead. " Anyway, Is that really Eastern Sea Tea? The authentic one."


    " The authentic thousand year old, Yes." Qiu Ruoyou quipped. " No way I would lie to you about this."


    " Unlike certain someone who served me a cheaper Bitter Kalpa Tea instead of the authentic one." Long Ming spoke in a mild voice as he took a sip. (If you forgot, go back to chapter where Jiang Wanxue offered Long Ming to join his side before secret realm)


    " What? Are you still hung on that matter?" Jiang Wanxue snorted lightly as her cheeks turned rosey.


    " I was just testing you, dummy. Why would I give cheap tea to my guests?"


    " Ah, Yes. How intelligent you are."


    " Yo-You!"


    " Sister in Law now is not the time to bicker among ourselves." Qiu Ruoyou looked at her. " So, What did your brother decide?"


    " Well¡­ The good news is, that people from the Eastern Sky Sect is here. So, No threat to your life anymore."


    " Haha, I guess father sent people really fast." Qiu Ruoyou smiled lightly. " And, I hope they also talked with His Majesty and my dear husband?"


    " They did" Jiang Wanxue nodded. " And¡­They have decided to let you off the hook withpensation of five Innate type Royal grade treasures."


    " Along with Great Ocean Rejuvenation Pills, I presume?" Qiu Ruoyou sighed.


    " Sister in Law is wise. Eastern Sea Sect spent quite a lot to bail you out." Jiang Wanxue chuckled.


    " Well, Does it matter?" Qiu Ruoyou pursed her lips as she looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    " I mean¡­I know how to recover from that loss and even make a profit from it."


    " I hope you can do that, Sister in Law." Jiang Wanxue spoke as she turned around and looked at Long Ming.


    " But what about you? Huh? Weren''t you saying how you don''t want to stay and protect Sister in Law?"


    " Then what the fuck happened after I left that you chose to sleep with her?"


    " Well¡­ One shouldn''t bind their heart, Miss Jiang. Our heart wished for some intimatepanionship and so¡­We just admired each other throughout the night."


    " Can you stop with that poetic bullshit?"


    Jiang Wanxue felt like she was going to throw up.


    However, she had to admit that Long Ming looked pretty schrly when he said that.


    " So, Does Young Master Long know the consequences of having an affair with the consort of the Imperial Prince?" Jiang Wanxue spoke with a sneer.


    " And?" Long Ming chuckled. " Who is going to reveal that? I am sure even if Qin Zhen knows about it, he won''t do anything¡­At least not publicly."


    " Besides¡­Thanks to you and Prince Qin Yong, I am already on the opposite side of Prince Qin Zhen."


    " Since we are now enemies¡­I see no problem at all."


    Jiang Wanxue became infuriated when she heard Long Ming. However, she couldn''t find any words to refute him.


    " Anyway, I don''t think there are many things to discuss here." Long Ming spoke as he looked at Jiang Wanxue.


    " As you said, Miss Qiu is now safe and sound and the Eastern Sky Sect already handled the situation. So, I guess I should leave now."


    " Aww, Are you going to leave, Young Master Long?" Qiu Ruoyou looked at Long Ming with limpid eyes. " You want to dash away after what you didst night?"


    " I don''t think I should apany you, Lady Qiu." Long Ming grinned.


    " But what if I use you of forcing me on the bed?" Qiu Ruoyou suddenly asked with a strange voice.


    " Will you?"


    " I won''t¡­But there is always a possibility, no?" Qiu Ruoyou smiled. " Besides, a careful person like Young Master Long shouldn''t make such mistakes, right?"


    " Of course." Long Ming grinned as he took out a photographic jade. " If you ever try to pull a fast one on me¡­"


    " However, I guess your pleasure must be heightened because such a nobledy doing such¡­ disgraceful things. Hm? Answer me, Lady."


    " Nnhhh!~ Yes¡­You are¡­right!"


    Jiang Wanxue and Qiu Ruoyou''s expression turned bright red when they saw the scene projecting before them.


    " Yo-You recorded everything?" Qiu Ruoyou asked Long Ming with a pout.


    " I merely record the consent, Lady Qiu." Long Ming grinned. " The proof of consent is everything, right?"


    " Such a cruel world we are living in. Even after a night of pleasure, one needs to keep such proof to avoid problems created by the female partner." Long Ming spoke with a deep sigh.


    " No need to worry, Miss Qiu. It will remain safe inside my spatial right¡­Till you decide to make things difficult."


    " Hmph, I really underestimated you. You didn''t disappoint me, Young Master." Qiu Ruoyou''s expression turned calm once again.


    " Sister in Law, why are you standing there with gawking eyes? Do you want to see more?"


    " Wh-What are you talking about?" Jiang Wanxue returned to his senses as she rubbed her rosy cheeks.


    " You both are perverts!"


    Long Ming chuckled when he saw the reaction of Jiang Wanxue. However, soon enough, the system window popped before him.


    [ Ding! Daily Quest arrived! Host received 2000 Clear Enlightenment Pill]


    [ Clear Enlightenment Pill: A rank five medicinal pill suitable for the Harmonization Realm Cultivator and below. A single pill can induce a calm state in the cultivator''s soul increasing the chance of enlightenment into a technique or intent!]


    [ Time limit: 1 day]


    [ Reward: 1500 Credit!]


    [ Failure: -2000 Credit!]


    " Well?" Long Ming was surprised when he saw the description.


    '' Hmm, Medicinal pills are easier to spend than the talismans, no? I mean, People would use it immediately due to its effect.''


    '' But there is a limit to how much medicinal pill a cultivator can eat before it loses its effect. And this pill¡­I am afraid one can eat only one at a time with the limit of being five pills per person.''


    " What is it, Young Master Long?" Qiu Ruoyou suddenly asked." You are lost in thoughts."


    " Oh, Nothing really." Long Ming smiled back. " I was thinking if both of you want to increase your strength?"


    " Increase strength?"


    " How so?"


    Both Jiang Wanxue and Qiu Ruoyou looked at Long Ming with curious gaze. Suddenly, they saw Long Ming taking out some round and shiny pills.


    " Wait, Is that¡­"


    " Clear Enlightenment Pill?"


    Both of them were surprised as they recognized the medicinal pill.


    " You are giving this to us?" Qiu Ruoyou was surprised. "I mean¡­ All of them are High grade pills with eight rings of purity."


    " Well, Just say I am being generous today." Long Ming grinned. " Now, hurry up and eat it. Else it will go bad."


    Jiang Wanxue felt a strange feeling in her heart when she heard Long Ming. '' No way this bastard cares about me¡­He must be trying to impress Qiu Ruoyou, Hmph!''


    '' But guess what? I won''t let such a precious thing go to waste.''


    Thinking that Jiang Wanxue ate two pills at once and sat to meditate. However, Qiu Ruoyou directly ate five.


    Suddenly, her aura became sharp, showing signs of breakthrough.

    <h4>Chapter 250 How To Spend Medicinal Pills? </h4>


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    " This¡­"


    Qiu Ruoyou opened her eyes as she looked at Long Ming with amazement.


    " I thought it would take a year to breakthrough to the Mid stage of the Harmonization Realm. I never thought I would reach that stage right now."


    " Not to mention, the effect of Clear Enlightenment Pills is still there. I have suppressed them inside me to be able to use itter."


    " And the my body¡­The energy feels much purer than before."


    " Of course, Why it wouldn''t be?" Long Ming grinned. " Miss Ruoyou, Have you forgottenst night, we dual cultivated? Thanks to me, you managed to reach the next stage swiftly."


    " Ahh¡­That¡­"


    Qiu Ruoyou blushed as she nodded. However, she certainly didn''t have any recollection of having a dual cultivation session with Long Ming.


    '' This rascal was so good¡­I didn''t notice the flow of energy at all.''


    '' But I can see that he is telling the truth. The dual cultivation technique he practiced¡­Such a powerful and enigmatic technique.''


    " Well, I shall take my leave then. I have too much work to do." Long Ming smiled as he turned around.


    " And¡­ I hope your Radiant Lotus Royal Body sessfully crosses the minor tribtion."


    Qiu Ruoyou''s expression changed when she heard that. However, before she could say anything, Long Ming already vanished.


    " So¡­He knew¡­"


    Qiu Ruoyou sighed as she looked at Jiang Wanxue, who was cultivating beside her.


    " What an unusual person."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Long Ming''s Raging Storm Wing pped with wind and lightning as he turned into a colorful ray of light, streaking across the sky with unimaginable speed.


    " Damn! The amount of Fragrant Yin Qi I received from Qiu Ruoyou was far too good, both in terms of quality and quantity."


    Long Ming clicked his tongue as he rushed straight to the Grand Sky City from Holy Qilin City.


    '' Although I only fused only a little amount of Intent of Space with my Raging Storm Wings, the speed already increased by five times.''


    '' And thanks to my overwhelming amount of Fragrant Yin Qi and True Qi, I can keep using my Ragin Storm Wing to the maximum without being afraid of getting drained.''


    " Let''s see if I can reach Four Seasons Valley in a few hours or not."


    With a booming sound, Long Ming disappeared from his ce, leaving the wind and cloud distorted.


    After a few hours, he could finally see the Four Seasons Valley. Unlike before, the Four Seasons Valley looked much grander now.


    Thanks to the financial inflow, the sect underwent a grand renovation, shedding away it''s poverty stricken past.


    " Hooo, My True qi almost about to deplet. But I manage it."


    Long Ming sighed as he felt his body turning stiff from continuous travelling.


    As his figure descended from the sky, the disciples working around filled with excitement and mor.


    " Oh my god! Look at that!"


    " Senior Brother Long? Senior Brother is back!"


    " Let''s go and meet him!"


    The moment Long Mingnded in the main square of the sect, he was instantly surrounded by the disciples of Four Seasons Valley.


    " Senior Brother, You are finally back!"


    " Senior Brother Long, Why did you came sote?"


    " You should have told us before! We would have prepared a grand wee ceremony for you."


    Long Ming gave a wry smile when he heard the mor. " Alright, My pretty junior sisters. It was my fault foring sote. How about Ipensate you all?"


    " Compensation?"


    Everyone''s eyes turned bright when they heard Long Ming. After all, every time he says that, he gives them a lot of treasures.


    " Tell us! Senior Brother!"


    " Hehe, Are you going to take off your clothes?"


    Long Ming''s face turned dark when he heard that.


    '' Damn it! Why do I feel the girls became a bit too obsessed with me here? And they certainly got bolder than before.''


    " All of you, Back away!"


    Suddenly, Chen Yin and Lin Xie descended from the sky, pushing the crowd away from Long Ming.


    " All of you, Have some respect. Don''t you know he is our senior brother?" Lin Xie spoke in a scolding voice.


    " Indeed. He had just returned yet you are pestering him." Chen Yin added as she created some space between Long Ming and a crowd of female disciples.


    However, suddenly, Lin Xie and Chen Yin grabbed Long Ming''s arms as they looked at him with pouting face.


    " Brother Long, We missed you so much!"


    " Yeah, Why you had to keep us waiting like that? You need topensate us!"


    Long Ming: "....."


    Shaking his head, Long Ming cleared his throat. " Everyone, An hourter, all of you must meet me at the outer field. I am going to give you something which will help you to improve your cultivation."


    " Alright, Senior Brother."


    " I shall spread the message, Senior Brother."


    " Long Ming nodded as he turned around and looked at Lin Xie and Chen Yin.


    " You two, Come with me."


    Aftering with Long Ming to his Solitary Flower Peak, Chen Yin and Lin Xie both were surprised.


    " Clear Enlightenment Pills?"


    " Brother Long, It''s far too precious for us."


    " Don''t say like that." Long Ming shook his head. " You shouldn''t miss this chance to improve your strength. You already gained insight into the Intent of Four Seasons, no? This pill will help you to grow that."


    " Not to mention, you should take this chance to reach the Harmonization Realm."


    " Brother Long¡­"


    " You are so good to us."


    Both Chen Yin and Lin Xie''s eyes sparkled with starlight and tears as they looked at Long Ming.


    " We poor sisters don''t have anything to give to you, Brother Long."


    " So¡­ We can only repay you with our bodies¡­"


    " Hold up!"


    Long Ming froze them with his divine sense as his expression became stiff. " Why the hell are you taking off your clothes? Just eat the damn pills and start to cultivate already."


    "Besides, I need to give the pills to other disciples too."


    " Others?"


    Both Lin XIe and Chen Yin were surprised. The Clear Enlightenment Pills are pretty rare among other rank five pills. After all, it can help a person to have a chance of enlightenment and breakthrough.


    As Long Ming left, Chen Yin and Lin Xie took the pills and started to cultivate.


    After distributing the pills to Meng Zhi, An Luan, Luo Yingying, and Mu Qinglian, Long Ming went straight to the field where hundreds of disciples of both the Inner and Outer Sect gathered.


    Seeing Long Ming arriving, everyone became quiet as they looked at him with curious gaze.


    " Alright, My dear junior disciples. As I have returned from the Holy Qilin City, I have brought some goodies for you."


    Long Ming spoke with a smile as he pulled out a medicinal cauldron.


    " Everyone, sit on the ground and start to meditate. Soon, I am going to give you a chance to increase your strength thoroughly."


    After saying that, Long Ming dumped arge amount of Clear Enlightenment Pill inside the cauldron.

 Chapter 251 Recruitment?

    <h4>Chapter 251 Recruitment? </h4>


    " Hmm? What''s that?"


    " Is this a formation?"


    Everyone looked around with a curious gaze as they could see runic walls appearing and disappearing amidst the thin air.


    " Don''t worry, That''s just Energy Trapping Array. It will gather the true qi here and won''t let it disperse." Long Ming smiled.


    " Senior Brother, Are you going to refine pills?"


    " But you just dumped a lot of pills into it, no?"


    Long Ming grinned when he heard that. " Well, I won''t be refining pills. However, You will certainly going to have them."


    Suddenly, azure mes zed in his palm as he lighted up the medicinal cauldron. Using his divine sense the control therge amount of Clear Enlightenment Pills inside the cauldron,


    The azure mes slowly heated the cauldron, burning the pills inside. Long Ming controlled the mes masterfully, slowly melting the pills inside them.


    " Huh? Do you smell something?"


    " This feels so¡­Fragrant."


    " Yeah¡­ I think my soul is slowly calming down. I feel like¡­ My bottleneck is slowly loosening."


    " Everyone, Pay attention." Long Ming''s voice became serious.?" I am refining the Clear Enlightenment Pill and diffusing it into the air. All you need to do is to inhale it and refine it thoroughly inside your divine sea."


    " Focus on the technique or the concept you have reached a bottleneck. This will help you to resolve it."


    " What? Clear Enlightenment Pill?"


    " Isn''t that the rank five pills that can simply make someone enter the state of enlightenment?"


    " My goodness! Did Senior Brother say he would be burning them?"


    " After a round of excitement, everyone sat cross legged as they immersed in cultivation. The pills inside the cauldron slowly turned into liquid and then turned into gas, slowly drifting out.


    Well, Since the medicinal essence is in the gaseous state, it was incredibly easy to refine. The disciples felt like they were having twice the results at half of the efforts.


    Not to mention, as the array formation was trapping the medicinal essence from dispersing into the atmosphere, the concentration of medicinal essence increased more and more.


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is giving you a thumbs up for your devious n]


    [Ding! Constetion Imp of Great Wealth is intrigued to see how fast you are using the medicinal pills]


    '' Hehe, Why work hard when you can work smart?'' Long Ming chuckled inwardly when he saw the messages popping up.


    Of course, distributing pills to each and every one would take both time and essence. However, there are simply many ways to use medicinal pills.


    Therefore, Long Ming started to refine the pills into medicinal essence and let all the disciples of Inner and Outer DSect refine it quickly, increasing the consumption of his pills by ten times.


    After a few hours, All the pills given by the system finally finished, signing thepletion of the mission.


    [ Ding! Hostpleted the daily quest! Host gets 1500 Credits!]


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    Suddenly, the true qi in the air became turbulent as one after another disciples broke through their bottleneck.


    Some of them were covered with brilliant ming aura while some of them sat amidst the swirling gale of wind.


    Some of them reached the next small realm in their cultivation while some of them broke through two small stages at the same time.


    " I¡­I can finally manifest perfect me Qi!"


    " Me too! I already reached the Perfection stage of my saber technique!"


    " I finally reached the Peak stage of True Core Formation Realm!"


    All of them opened their eyes with surprise when they realized their degree of improvement. After all, they felt like they finished at least a few years of hard work in a few hours.


    " Well, How are you feeling?"


    Long Ming grinned as he saw the remaining medicinal essence dispersing in the air. " I am sure you all have taken advantage of this opportunity, no?"


    " Of course, Senior Brother!"


    " Senior Brother, You are my idol!"


    " Senior Brother! Let me bear your seed!"


    " Alright, Everyone¡­Calm down."


    Suddenly, with a booming noise, Mu Qinglian descended from the sky. Her fluttering blue robes and long silky hair made her look like a pure goddess descended from the sky.


    Even she was intrigued by feeling the turbulence of true qi in the air. Many disciplesprehended the Aura and Qi of various elements. Not to mention, some even touched the threshold of the Intent realm.


    Not to mention, the amount of True Core Formation realm disciples increased and barely a few remained in the Violet Pce Expansion Realm.


    " Not bad¡­ I never thought all of you would improve so fast." Mu Qinglian nodded.


    " Alright, Long Ming, Come with me. Master wishes to see you."


    " Master?"


    Long Ming was surprised when he heard that.


    " Alright, Everyone. All of you made significant improvements. However, You need to consolidate your foundation to not let any future problem appear."


    " Now, Disperse."


    As he saw the disciples slowly retreat back to their abode, Long Ming followed Mu Qingn to the Deste Winter Pce.


    " I heard you have been distributing Clear Enlightenment Pills like candies?" Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming as she sat in her seat, with many scrolls lying open on the table before him.


    " Master, I got them by a chance encounter. So, I thought, Why not use them to improve our junior disciples?"


    " How generous you are." Xia Yuqing sighed when she heard that. " However, giving them too much freebies might affect their dao heart."


    " I understand, Sect Master." Long Ming nodded.


    " How about conducting something like Internal Sect Tournament? We can use this chance to hone their skills."


    " Hmm, Rather than that, I have another proposal." Xia Yuqing looked at Long Ming and spoke.


    " Now, Since the condition of our sect improved, How about we recruit more disciples?"


    " Master wants to recruit more disciples?" Long Ming was surprised. However, thinking about it, Long Ming felt it certainly makes sense.


    '' After all, The amount of disciples the current Four Seasons Valley has is much less than other sects. Even a sect like Green Cloud Mountain has more disciples than us.''


    " I believe Master''s vision is far sighted." Long Ming cupped his fist. " Therefore, How would you like to recruit the students?"


    " Well?"


    Xia Yuqing pursed her lips as she looked at Long Ming. " You have been nning quite so many thingstely. How about I give this task to you?"


    " Pardon me?"


    Long Ming''s face contorted when he heard that. He finally encountered something he didn''t like.


    Hard work.


    " Master, I don''t think I can take on such serious task." Long Ming cupped his fist. " How about you let Senior Sister Mu to do it?"


    " Oh, I will, alright?" Mu Qinglian snorted lightly. " In fact, Both of us going to do."


    " But, I think you can take the charge." Xia Yuqing smiled.


    " But, I need to prepare¡­"


    " We have already announced. You can start recruiting from tomorrow."


    " What?!!"


    Long Ming felt hiszy bones going to get crushed.

 Chapter 252 I need Rest!

    <h4>Chapter 252 I need Rest! </h4>


    Walking out, Long Ming stretched his arms. " Senior Sister, Was it your n to involve me in this thing?"


    " Why would I?" Mu Qinglian shrugged. " Your capabilities are far too great to remain unnoticed, Long Ming."


    " But I just don''t want to do it." Long Ming sighed as he rubbed his forehead. " Can''t I just leave everything to you and Ming Yuexin?"


    " Nope, I don''t think so." Mu Qinglian shrugged. " Anyway, I hope you take enough rest today. Because tomorrow is going to be very busy."


    " I know¡­"


    Long Ming sighed as he turned around. " Ah well, It''s been a while since I returned to Grand Sky City. Maybe I should visit to Eternal Spring Tower."


    Mu Qinglian''s ears perked when she heard that murmur. " You are not going anywhere."


    " What?"


    " You areing with me to train." Mu Qinglian''s smile became bright as she held Long Ming''s arms.


    " Wait! No! I want to rest!" Long Ming screamed.


    " Oh, Then let me make you fatigued enough that you can sleep instantly."


    " Nooo!"


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    " Come on! Long Ming, No need to hold back!" Mu Qinglian shouted as she activated her Four Seasons Grand Swordsy.


    The four colored divine image of four seasons appeared like a painting,suppressing her surroundings instantly. Long Ming gave a bitter smile when he felt that and activated his Deste Immortal Aura, removing the suppression around him.


    " What is it? Why aren''t you using your physique?"


    Mu Qinglian snorted as a giant sword of scorching fire and frozen ice appeared in her hands, extending more than tens of meters.


    '' How can I use them when I already lost them?'' Long Ming grumbled inwardly as he simply utilized his Fragrant Yin Qi.


    The pink qi swirled around like a storm of plum blossoms as a beautiful fragrance filled the air. Long Ming raised his hands as eight ck nails shot toward Mu Qinglian.


    The nails turned into eight gigantic gs as they shone with gentle light.


    " River Suppressing Eight gs! Four Directional Supression!" Long Ming shouted as the four of the eight gs turned into gigantic pirs of light, sealing the space around Mu Qinglian.


    " Hmph! You think your little treasures can hold me off?"


    Mu Qinglian swung his gigantic sword as she tried to break through the formation.


    " Suppress!"


    Long Ming snorted as he made a motion with his hands. Suddenly, the sword condensed by Mu Qinglian melted, turning into vapors of true qi.


    " Interesting, You cut off the flow of True Qi around me, eh?" Mu Qinglian was surprised as she saw the true qi around her lessening.


    However, she didn''t bother as her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body erupted with a crimson aura. Her wings turned into burning wings made from blood.


    With a swing, she used her wings to crash the array put by Long Ming, making him tremble violently.


    " Spirit Sealing Six Star Array!"


    Two more gs lit up as the pressure on Mu Qinglian increased. Since Mu Qinglian was now using his Imperial grade body, he also needed to increase the output of his power.


    His Fragrant Yin Qi flowed like an inexhaustible source of energy as his Eternal True Spirit Art made use of his divine sense to control the formation gs.


    A Harmonization Realm cultivator''s main power is the amount of energy he can borrow from the surroundings.


    It''s like a tree with its root connected with a pool of healing liquid. Unless your damage to the tree surpasses its healing skill, the tree will keep rejuvenating.


    Therefore, Long Ming used the formation to cut off Mu Qinglian from the outside world first, so she couldn''t draw out the energy of heaven and earth.


    However, she also possesses a minorpletion Imperial Grade body which gives Mu Qinglian another major advantage.


    " Don''t you think you can trap me here forever!" Mu Qinglian snorted as she pulled out her Frozen Flower Sword. Her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body burned with an endless energy as she raised her sword.


    " Four Seasons Changes!"


    The four colored qi swirled around her sword as she only relied on the energy of her imperial body to execute the attack. The energy made the Frozen Flower shine as several blinding sword rays erupted, mming into the walls of the formation.


    Long Ming snorted as he didn''t stand outside anymore. Talking out the Mountain Flipping Seal, he jumped inside the formation.


    " Human Mountain Technique! Mountain Crushing Fist!"


    Long Ming utilized his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique and tried to imitate the power of the Great Mystic Mountain Physique.


    The Mountain Flipping Sea turned into an illusory mountain as it suppressed Mu Qinglian, making her feel as if she had fallen in a quagmire.


    Suddenly, her eyes narrowed as she raised her sword, creating a shield made up on deep blue ice shining like diamonds.


    However, the moment Long Ming''s fist fell on that, it shattered like ss, making her force back.


    " Mountain Shaking Great Fist!"


    Suddenly, yellow colored earth qi erupted from the Mountain Flipping Seal as it surrounded Long Ming, creating a gigantic fist that was like a mountain.


    " Four Seasons Sky Piercing sh!"


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    Mu Qinglian and Long Ming shed like two meteors against each other, making the air ripple with tremendous aftershocks.


    " Alright! Alright! That''s enough!" Long Ming shouted as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " Not bad, You have changed your fighting style so much." Mu Qinglian''s aura vanished as she looked at Long Ming with profound eyes.


    " And what''s with these treasures? Where did you get them from?"


    " Nothing, Just picked up from the road." Long Ming shrugged.


    " Hmph, That wench Wanxue must have given them to you, no?" Mu Qinglian asked with a snort.


    " Why? Are you jealous?" Long Ming grinned. " I mean, I won''t mind if Senior Sister gives me gifts too. But, will you?"


    "Has our rtionship fallen to this point? You want it to remain something superficial as exchanging gifts?" Mu Qinglian pouted as she crossed her arms.


    Long Ming shrugged when he heard that. " I don''t know, Senior Sister. Sounds like someone is broke."


    " Yo-You!!"


    " Anyway, It was fun. You also held back a lot, Senior Sister." Long Ming grinned. " However, Now I am tired and I need some rest. I am sure you won''t drag me to another fight, no?"


    " Of course not¡­As long as you rest and do not wander to a certain ce in Grand Sky City." Mu Qinglian''s face bloomed with a smile.


    " This girl¡­"

 Chapter 253 Assessment Begins

    <h4>Chapter 253 Assessment Begins </h4>


    When the next day arrived, Long Ming called Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian to his Solitary Flower Peak.


    " Haha! Brother Long, Thanks to you, My insight into the sword intent increased with those Clear Enlightenment Pills." Ming Yuexin grinned as she hugged Long Ming''s arms.


    " And, I believe I would ascend to the Harmonization Realm in few days. But why did you called me here?"


    " Sister Ming, You can talk to him even while not hugging him." Mu Qinglian spoke in a curt voice.


    " Oh? Why is that so?" Ming Yuexin blinked as she looked at Mu Qinglian. " I believe Senior Brother likes me my body on him¡­"


    " What?"


    " Cough! Cough!"


    With loud coughings, Long Ming interrupted Ming Yuexin. He was afraid Mu Qinglian might snap out and drag him for another sparring session.


    " Sister Ming, You know about the recruitment of disciples, right?"


    " Hmhm, I know about it. Do you need my help, Brother Long?"


    " Yes."


    Long Ming nodded. " As Master said, there are two ces for us to do recruitment. One is Grand Sky City and another one is Holy Qilin City."


    " Sister Ming, Can you take care of the recruitment in Grand Sky City?"


    " Well, Why not?" Ming Yuexin nodded. " What about you, Brother Long? Are you leaving for Holy Qilin City?"


    " Yes, I am leaving for Holy Qilin City and oversee the situation there."


    " So, I and Senior Sister are going to the Holy Qilin City."


    " Whaaa?" Ming Yuexin pouted. " I want to go with you too. We can hand this work to Lin Xie and Chen Yin, no?"


    " Of course not. They don''t have the experience as you, Sister Ming." Long Ming smiled.


    " But I am still not satisfied." Ming Yuexin pouted. " You mustpensate me."


    " Haah¡­ What sort ofpensation do you want, Senior Sister?" Long Ming sighed as he looked at Ming Yuexin.


    " Well, Apany me for few days after you return." She casted a side nce to Mu Qinglian.


    " Only you and me."


    Mu Qinglian bit her lips as she felt the burnt of jealousy all over her skin.


    '' Ugh! Since when did Sister Ming be this possessive? No! I have to make my move first!'' Mu Qinglian''s heart was in turmoil as she thought about it.


    " Ok, Alright."


    Long Ming gave a short answer as he escaped from there immediately. After all, no one can tell when the gunpowder here would ignite.


    As Long Ming and Mu Qinglian used a treasure boat to arrive in the Holy Qilin City swiftly, the disciples of Four Seasons Valley stationed there already set up the registration.


    " Alright, The first criterion is only women can enter."


    " What? This is not fair! I also want to join Four Seasons Valley!"


    " Why Long Ming is the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley despite being a male?"


    " This is unfair!"


    Long Ming''s lips curled into a devious grin when he heard the dissatisfaction of the male crowd.


    " Look at you. Grinning like a demon." Mu Qinglian muttered as she stood beside him.


    " What? Four Seasons Valley is a sanctuary for girls, no?" Long Ming spoke in a righteous tone.


    " Oh? Then what a person like you doing there?"


    " Making the sanctuary safer than other ces." Long Ming replied in a serious voice.


    " Or¡­Making your own harem?"


    " Oh my, Since when I had such malicious heart, hm?"


    Long Ming feigned innocence. However, his wide grin betrayed his wordspletely.


    Suddenly, his Deste Immortal Aura erupted as he descended from the sky, the Raging Storm Wings behind him gave his physique a heavenly impression.


    " Who dares to cause a ruckus here?"


    The Deste Immortal Aura is like a sun in midnight, making everyone awe and vulnerable before Long Ming.


    All the female cultivators'' eyes lit up when they saw Long Ming stepping on the ground like an angel.


    " Oh my! I didn''t expect Young Master Long toe here personally!"


    " Haha! I won the bet! I knew that Young Noble Long would appear here and not in Grand Sky City."


    " Even if I don''t pass the assessment, just seeing him would be rewarding enough."


    Mu Qinglian''s brows twitched when she heard the murmuring of the female cultivators.


    '' Did theye here for the disciple assessment test or to fangirl Long Ming?''


    " Alright, Since everyone is here, then we shall start our assessment." Long Ming''s hand sped behind his back as he looked at them.


    The disciples who were signing up the name hurried and gave the papers to Long Ming. He saw more than five hundred girls participate here.


    " Eh? Not bad, Most of them are at Qi Condensation and Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Not to mention we got a few True Core Formation Realm participants." Long Ming nodded.


    " Well, First, We shall conduct the test for the Qi Condensation Realm cultivators." Long Ming shouted. " Everyone gather here and form a line."


    More than three hundred participants moved as they appeared before Long Ming. Suddenly, Long Ming raised his palm as four formation gs shot out, covering a wide area.


    " This test shall be simple. Endure the pressure inside the formation for one hour and you shall pass the test."


    Using four gs of the River Suppressing Eight gs, Long Ming used a few thousand high grade spirit stones to set an array formation.


    As he used the spirit stones as a power source, he didn''t need to constantly supply it with his own energy and he could freely control it using his Divine Sense.


    With a snap of his finger, the four formation gs buzzed with a gentle radiance as it created a light dome around all the disciples.


    Suddenly, the participants felt the gravity around them increasing, and the true qi bing heavier. They felt the flow of the true qi inside them slowed, making them feel suffocated.


    " Those who feel they can''t persist, just raise your hand and we shall take you out." Long Ming spoke in a calm voice.


    " A very simple and straightforward method you chose." Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but give a remark.


    " This is nothing, I am just seeing who has better endurance here. Not to mention, I believe we should focus on these Qi Condensation Realm."


    " Why so?"


    " Because most of theme from humble backgrounds and low cultivation. As long as we make them depend on our sect, we will have a good amount of loyal disciples under our disposal." Long Ming spoke in a calm voice.


    " Hmm, Indeed. Rather than just going after quantity, we also check their mindset too." Mu Qinglian agreed with Long Ming''s view.


    " Well meanwhile, Call those who are at True Core Formation Realm. I have prepared a little interview for them." Long Ming smiled as he looked at Mu Qinglian.


    " You just want to kill your time while these guys are undergoing the test, right?" Mu Qinglian rolled her eyes.


    " How smart you are, Senior Sister. I am so envious of your smartness." Long Ming grinned. " Now, If you please, You can fetch them here."

 Chapter 254 Spending On Girls

    <h4>Chapter 254 Spending On Girls </h4>


    Long Ming was surprised when he saw the description of the Five Elemental Heavenly Crystals. '' Damn, this system is pretty generous, no? Unfortunately, I only have a day to spend it.''


    " Alright, There are quite a lot of Trur Core Formation Realm girls here, huh?" Long Ming smiled as he looked at them.


    Using his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, He easily gauged their talent and potential, selecting a few out of them.


    Their age was under thirty, yet they looked like girls in their teenagers. That''s the greatest effect of the Immortal World after all.


    Each of them had a considerable background. After all, cultivating the True Core Formation Realm before the age of thirty requires quite a lot of resources and talent. Unless an ordinary person has ten percent of the protagonist''s luck, it''s impossible for them to reach the True Core Formation realm before the age of thirty.


    " You, You and you¡­Come here." Long Ming pointed to three of them as he spoke.


    " Senior Sister, I let others in your hand. I know you can easily test them." Long Ming smiled.


    " Well, Master did give me a copy of the Crystal Heart Mirror. If any of them had any ulterior motive, The mirror would be able to tell it.'' Mu Qinglian spoke.


    " Of course, It''s not as powerful as the one we have in the sect. But it does work most of the time."


    '' But I believe if someone cultivates something like a powerful soul technique, evading it would be possible.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    Thankfully, he had a rtionship window where he could gauge the other person''s intent towards him easily. No matter what, they can''t hide their feelings towards Long Ming.


    " Young Master Long, I am Yang Xinyi, I already reached the Early stage of True Core Formation Realm."


    " Miss Yang, Please tell me about your background." Long Ming smiled as he looked at her.


    " My family is one of the biggest merchant associations of Northern Moutain City. My father already reached the Harmonization Realm."


    " My name is Xu Meifeng, And I am also in the Early stage of True Core Formation Realm. My family¡­"


    " My name is Zhu Xian. And I have reached Mid stage of True Core Formation realm."


    " Well, I appreciate the fact that you havee here to join our Four Seasons Valley. However, I would like to know your reasons for joining our sect."


    " For me, Young Master Long¡­Since it''s a sect that focuses on raising female disciples, I feel it''s perfect for me." Zhu Xian spoke without much thought.


    " Same reason as Zhu Xian." Xu Meifeng replied. " Not to mention, Four Seasons Valley is still an Imperial Linage. I am confident in my skills, and I believe I would get treated well in the sect."


    " For me¡­" Yang Xinyi nodded. " Same reason¡­"


    " Miss Yang, Although I don''t possess Crystal Heart Mirror, I am sure that you are lying." Long Ming smiled. " Don''t worry, I am someone who judges someone."


    Yang Xinyi felt a shudder when she saw the gleaming eyes of Long Ming, like a pair of cold pool of azure water. Taking a deep breath, she nodded.


    " I apologize, Young Master Long. It wasn''t my intention to lie to you." Yang Xinyi lowered her voice.


    " I believe joining the Four Seasons Valley is an investment."


    " An investment, huh?" Long Ming became interested. " borate."


    " I believe Four Seasons Valley isn''t weak as it was rumored. They have concealed themselves well. And now, their period of concealment is over and they are going to rise." Yang Xinyi spoke.


    " Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity and get to new heights."


    " I guess you truly came from a merchant family, Miss Yang." Long Ming smiled.


    As he had a light chat with them, Long Ming secretly increased the pressure inside the River Suppressing Eight g formation. Instantly, a dozen or more girls raised their hands, giving up the test.


    After a while, Mu Qinglian walked to Long Ming as she nodded. " All of them are genuine and passed the test of Crystal Heart Mirror."


    " Same here, I guess it''s time to end the test for Qi Condensation Realm participants?"


    " I believe so."


    Long Ming raised his hands as the formation gs shone with a dim light. The Qi Condensation Realm girls breathed a sigh of relief when they felt the test is over.


    " Not bad, Only a third of them gave up, eh?" Long Ming rubbed his chin. " Was I too lenient?"


    " You are the one conducting the test. Why ask me?" Mu Qinglian spoke.


    Long Ming looked at the participants as his grin became wide. Standing up, his Plum Blossom Fan opened, making the pattern on ite alive.


    " Dear Participants, I am d that so many of you persisted for an hour under such pressure. Many of you might be thinking that you have been disqualified after raising your hands."


    " However, Fret not. This second test would be very beneficial for you all." Long Mingughed loudly as he suddenly pulled out a bunch of crystals and threw them toward the formation gs.


    Suddenly, a multicolored dome appeared around the disciples they felt the heaven and earth energy around them increase.


    " In this test, Try to absorb the pure energy of five elements as much as you want. If you manage to reach the Violet Pce Expansion Realm, then you will get extra points."


    " Wait, Long Ming! What are you doing?"


    Mu Qinglian''s eyes turned wide when she saw Long Ming dumping more and more crystals into the formation.


    " Ah, Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators, you also join too."


    " Wait, Is that¡­" Mu Qinglian took a sharp breath as she realized it was Five Eelemental Heavenly Crystal.


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    Suddenly, a girl opened her eyes as she was in disbelief. " I¡­ I broke through! I reached Violet Pce Expansion Realm!"


    " Great Heavens! I also reached Violet Pce Expansion Realm! And my Pce Foundation is almost wless."


    After a few hours, other than a dozen or some disciples, all Qi Condensation Realm disciples already reached the Low stage of Violet Pce Expansion Realm.


    Meanwhile, The Violet Pce Expansion Realm disciples also achieved breakthroughs and advanced their cultivation by a small stage.


    Long Ming clicked his tongue when he saw the amount of Five Elemental Crystals remaining after spending on everyone.


    '' I have only spent three hundred fragments? What the hell!'' Long Ming grimaced.


    But then, his gaze fell on the remaining bunch of True Core Formation Realm girls.


    " Well, Before joining our sect, I shall let you have the taste of our resources." Long Ming smiled as he looked at them.


    " How about I give you some pointers about how to increase the quality of your True Core?"

 Chapter 255 New Bugs

    <h4>Chapter 255 New Bugs </h4>


    Mu Qinglian stood dumbly as she saw Long Ming standing before them and started to give a lecture about the True Core Formation Realm''s secrets.


    Long Ming was someone who achieved perfect golden True Vore and even induced a heavenly tribtion. With his supremeprehension and Deste Immortal Aura, Long Ming''s voice resonated in the hearts of the True Core Formation Realm girls.


    " Condensing the energy andpressing it, you will energy threads at the end of the process. Use these energy threads to slowly fill your core and patch out any crack you have made."


    " However, in this process, you also need to keep your realm suppressed. After all, if you keep infusing pure energy in your true core, there is a chance you will break through to the next stage."


    " Therefore, To have a better true core, you must put the effort in low stages of True Core Formation Realm."


    Long Ming grinned as he pointed to the array formation. " Thankfully, You have met our generous Four Seasons Valley. With this flow of five elemental energy, you can slowly increase the quality of your true core and even add a special element to it."


    There were a lot of cultivators who use the energy of a single element to condense their true core. Such true cores are much better in quality in terms of true core condensed by turbid true qi.


    Yang Xinyi was surprised as she suddenly felt the flow of the five elemental energy. Such pure energy was filled with apletely bnced essence of five elements.


    Just taking a whiff, she could feel her true core tremoring from excitement. Coupled with Long Ming''s exnation, not only she but many others had a stroke of enlightenment.


    Absorbing the flooding five elemental energy, they slowly mended the cracks around their true core while suppressing their realm. As time passed, the quality of their true core became better and better.


    " Try extracting the elemental energy which is suitable for you. And imbue that energy in your true core. If you do that, in the future, your affinity towards the element will be greater than average."


    True Core Formation Realm cultivators were different as they devoured the energy faster than Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators.


    In a few hours, they devoured more than four hundred shards of Five Elemental Heavenly Crystal.


    " This¡­ I am about to reach the mid stage of True Core Formation Realm!" Zhu Xian''s eyes opened as a surge of true qi burst from his body.


    " My true core¡­It looks polished as a pearl!"


    The others also increased the quality of their true core. However, Long Ming realized that the most notable changes happened in the body of Yang Xinyi.


    The wind blew around her along with the true qi as she became the center of a gale. Taking a light breath, she opened her eyes, looking at her own body with surprise.


    "?This¡­ My true qi feels more refined than before. And I can feel the aura of wind energy, making my technique even better."


    " Alright, Times up." Long Ming waved his hands as he looked at them. " I guess other than two, all of you have an ample amount of talent."


    " Since the test has already ended, those who have disqualified, please take a step back."


    Around hundred or some girls stood up and bowed politely, taking a step back. Although they were bitter since they didn''t pass the assessment, it was certainly rewarding.


    They felt like a few hours of cultivation year was the same as two years of cultivation outside. Even though theycked the power and talent, their strength increased by a small stage at least.


    " As for those who have passed the test, this is not the end."?Long Ming''s voice echoed.


    " You shall undergo another round of assessment tests in the Four Seasons Valley. But don''t worry, even if you fail there, you can still work as a servant disciple and slowly promote your way."


    " Four Seasons Valley has been blessed by the three Heavenly Emperors since the ancient time. We passed through many catastrophes, fought against evil and held the banner of righteousness."


    " So, Are you willing to join the Four Seasons Valley?"


    Long Ming''s voice was inspiring and imposing, making the girls'' eyes shine.


    " Yes! I am willing!"


    " Me too!"


    " We are also willing!"


    Yang Xinyi also nodded as she cupped her fist, " Thank you for giving me such a chance, Young Master Long. I shall remain loyal to the Four Seasons Valley till my death."


    " I am also willing to join the Four Seasons Valley." Zhu Xian and Xu Meifang nodded.


    " Very well, Senior Sister, please handle from here onwards." Long Ming got up as he raised his hand, retrieving the formation gs.


    " I am pretty tired so I should go and take some rest."


    " What? You are dumping everything on me?" Mu Qinglian became speechless.


    " Dumping? I already handed the most tedious part." Long Ming''s Raging Storm Wing appeared as flew away.


    " Don''t look for me, I will contact youter."


    " This bastard!" Mu Qinglian cursed as she looked at the girls with dreams and hope in their eyes.


    " Alright, Everyone, Form a queue ande one by one."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    '' Damn, there are still quite some fragments in my inventory. Where should I use them?''


    Long Ming thought about devouring them for himself. However, he realized a use in the system.


    He can only purchase items from the shop using credits and use it. He can''t use the items on himself. However, it didn''t stop Long Ming from forming new ns on how to spend it.


    Suddenly, a light bulb appeared in his brain as he thought about something.


    '' It says consume all the items in one day. However, the word consume can be interpreted in different ways.''


    Long Ming thought for a moment as he took out a token and went straight to a ce.


    As Long Mingnded, he was faced with guards wearing silver scale armor while holding powerful spears.


    " Halt! Who are you?"


    " I havee to meet His Highness, Second Prince." Long Ming replied politely.


    After that, he showed them the token, making the guards nod.


    " Young Noble, Please wait here. I shall go and inform the prince."


    Not long after, Long Ming stood before the second prince, who was sitting on a chair. His skin was still pale like a sick person, but he gave off a strange and powerful aura.


    " What is it, Young Master Long? I wasn''t expecting you here at all." Qin Yong gave a light smile as he gestured for Long Ming to sit down.


    " Second Prince Qin, I got some rare things in my hand. I wonder if prince is interested in them?" Long Ming grinned as he ced a fragment on the table, making Qin Yong surprised.


    " This¡­Five Elemental Heavenly Crystal?!"


    Qin Yong was surprised as he looked at it once again even more carefully. " Even if it''s the low quality crystal, this is quite rare to find."


    Handing a small pouch to Qin Yong, Long Ming smiled. " How about a few Noble grade weapons for all these?"


    " A few Noble grade weapons?" Qin Yong chuckled bitterly. " Noble grade weapons aren''t cabbages, Young Master Long. However, the amount of crystal you have is truly astonishing."


    " How about this? One Aquired Noble grade weapon and three Earth grade treasures?"


    " Five Earth grade treasures." Long Ming replied.


    " Well¡­I guess it''s alright." Qin Yong nodded after some contemtion.

    Greetings, Fellow Daoist. As you can see, my cover got taken down. I don''t have any energy to vent on why it got removed and how it was NSFW. It''s probably because someone reported it and not the automatic action of Webnovel.

 Chapter 256 Sky Lightning Crown

    <h4>Chapter 256 Sky Lightning Crown </h4>


    Long Ming let out a heartyugh when he realized his spections were right.


    '' What? Why are you getting angry, hm? It was your fault to not specify the methods how a person can consume materials for the daily quest.'' Long Ming shrugged.


    [ Ding! Constetion Chaotic Evil Contractor donates +20 Star coins!]


    [ Ding! Many constetions are praising Host for his cunningness]


    [ Ding! Constetion Great Imp of Wealth adjusted the beta testing of the system by spending causality! Remaining time of the beta testing: ten days]


    '' This bitch.''


    Long Ming almost spat out when he saw that. However, no matter what, he found a big loophole in this system.


    In future, If he can''t spend the item, he would just sell them.


    " What is it, Brother Long?"


    " Oh, It''s nothing. I just became a bit absent minded." Long Ming smiled back.


    Not long after, the servant of Qin Yong brought back the treasures in a spatial ring. Checking the treasures, Long Ming nodded with satisfaction.


    " Not bad, Imperial Family does have quite a lot of treasures, huh?" Long Mingughed lightly.


    " Of course we have. Otherwise, we wouldn''t be able to manage such an empire, Brother Long."


    " Then what happened to Qiu Ruoyou? How is she?" Long Ming asked casually.


    " Well¡­What can I say? She straight went to seclusion after everything was solved. However, I can certainly see that my elder brother''s mood really became bad after seeing Qiu Ruoyoue out unscathed."


    " Did she give you any important intel?"


    " She did. And it confirmed a few of my spections." Qin Yong''s expression stiffened when he heard Long Ming''s question.


    " I understand. However, What''s about the secret treasure realm I am hearing these days?"


    " Are you talking about the Paragon Luo Xi''s tomb?" Qin Yong looked at him.


    " Paragon Luo Xi was a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator during the time of Heavenly Emperor Crimson Sky. He was prettyte to join the fight for the heavenly throne."


    " But after the fight, he became almost an unmatched person in his era. After all, Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivators are the just below the Heavenly Emperors."


    " And without a Heavenly Emperor, they would reign supreme."


    " He established Grand Pill Pce in the central province, which still stands towering to this day."


    " Then is there a treasure map of his tomb was discovered by Qiu Ruoyou?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " It''s not like that. Some parts of the treasure map has been circting around a lottely. However, there are also some parts which were more important."


    " Beside, It''s not a tomb. His inheritance lies inside an ancient realm that existed more than 40,000 Years ago."


    " So, he buried his inheritance in another secret realm and made the maps fragmented?" Long Ming asked.


    " You are right. However, most of the maps obtained by cultivators are fake. It''s getting hard to discern the original ones." Qin Yong chuckled.


    " When it is going to open? Any specific date?"


    " Not really. However, It''s going to cause a bigmotion in the entire Eastern and Central Provinces. Because the secret realm is the exact border of two provinces."


    " Besides, the era of geniuses is starting. Who would miss such an opportunity?"


    Long Mingughed lightly as he nodded. " Certainly, Prince Qin Yong. If you ever requires my help, you can freely contact me."


    " Don''t worry, Brother Long. I would be needing you soon."


    Long Ming''s smile twitched when he heard that. He never wanted to do anything for the Imperial Family. However, as time passed, he became more and more embroiled with them.


    " Besides, you should be careful these days." Qin Yong got up and turned around.


    " My brother''s eyes already fallen on you. So, it''s better to exercise caution."


    " I shall keep your words in my heart, Second Prince."


    Saying anything else, Long Ming turned around and vanished. Qin Yong sighed as he asked.


    " What did you saw?"


    " Nothing¡­That young man is like a statue made of obsidian¡­


    Cold and dark, with no way to see what''s deep inside him."


    " His strength?"


    " He appears to be Peak of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm¡­


    But I can be mistaken. Didn''y he showed his Minorpletion Imperial Physique?"


    " Haah, I guess each have their own secrets." Qin Yong sighed as his eyes narrowed.


    " Shall we give him a little test?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Well, Well¡­ Let''s see how much I credits I have amassed till now."


    Opening the system shop, Long Ming realized he already had 4500 Credits.


    Scrolling through the shop, he could see some decent items. However, to his current cultivation, they are pretty worthless.


    However, there were a few particr things which attracted his attention.


    [ Silver Starlight Great Sword: Made with Silver Star Mirthil and inscribed with ancient lunar runes. It contains the power of Sacred Moon Energy, cleansing anything filthy or evil]


    [ Price: 30,000 Credits]


    [ Sky Lightning Crown: Once a blue lightning struck a heavenly tree. Instead of exploding, the tree absorbed the lightning bolt, turning it into a mineral. This crown was a treasure, crafted with this mineral, almost resist any kind of lightning]


    [ Price: 50,000 Credits]


    Long Ming''s eyes gleamed when he read the description. He was thinking about how to solve the problem of his Minor Physique Tribtion of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    And this Sky Lightning Crown gave him an ample opportunity.


    '' However, I feel this treasure isn''t of this world. Otherwise, it would have been graded by the system. Hmm, but looking at the price¡­This feels powerful enough, I should get this no matter what.''


    Taking a deep breath, Long Ming closed the system window as he fell into contemtion.


    '' There are only ten days remaining. I hope the reward increases every day, Else it would be impossible to get that item.''


    '' Or, I can use my Star Coins as a bargaining chip to purchase it.''


    He already saw how horrifying his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique can be.


    '' An Ancient Heaven Grade Physique can be so powerful. Then the Minor Physique Tribtion¡­ How powerful it would be?''


    Thinking about his Great Mystic Mountain Physique, Long Ming felt a pang of sourness. However, he is determined to get the Sky Lightning Crown no matter what.


    Instead of returning to the abode of Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming chose to stroll around the market. However, a familiar figure caught his eye.


    " Lin''er?"


    .


    .


    Dear fellow daoist, I have already picked a new cover for my novel. Although It''s not spicy as before, I guess it''s decent enough. I will update it tomorrow. If you are waiting, you can read my other work: Eroge: I Can Travel To Ancient World

 Chapter 257 Inheritance Inside Sky Fountain Palace

    <h4>Chapter 257 Inheritance Inside Sky Fountain Pce </h4>


    Long Ming was surprised as he recognized the girl. She was none other than Lin''er, the girl who had untreatable disease and had the inheritance of Crimson Blood Demonic Arts.


    '' What is she doing here? And where is his brother?'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    Without dy, he descended beside her. Lin''er became startled. But it didn''t take her time to realize it was Long Ming.


    " Young Master Benefactor! It''s you!" Lin''er couldn''t help but shout in surprise.


    " My name is Long Ming, Miss Lin, not Young Master Benefactor." Long Ming smiled mildly.


    Using her Heavenly Revtion Eyes, he could see the faint swirling blood aura around her.


    " How are you now, Miss Lin? I hope your symptoms didn''t erupt once again?"


    " It didn''t, Young Master Long." Lin''er replied happily. Not to mention, I already reached the High stage of Violet Pce Expansion Realm by now."


    " Wow, That''s a remarkable progress. But¡­I am not seeing your brother?"


    " Brother¡­He¡­He went to work. Recently, he got a job at Crimson Fire Smithy. His monthly sry is ten thousand mid grade spirit stones."


    " That¡­I don''t think it''s enough to support you in cultivation, no?" Long Ming frowned lightly.


    " It''s alright, Young Master Long. I don''t have much aspirations. As long as I can help my brother, I shall be d." Lin''er sighed. " Due to me, Elder Brother almost came to the street. I don''t want to burden him anymore."


    " You won''t. Didn''t you heard about Four Seasons Valley''s assessment test? They were recruiting disciples, so why didn''t you go there?" Long Ming asked.


    " I¡­ I didn''t heard about that?"


    " ... "


    Fair enough, thought Long Ming.


    " Anyway, You have the potential and cultivate the Crimson Blood Demonic Art to the perfection. If you join the sect, your future would be limitless."


    " But Young Master Long, I don''t have that much money." Lin''er flushed. " I mean¡­ I really don''t want to burden my brother for more cultivation resources."


    " It doesn''t matter. Our sect runs on purely merit. As long as you perform well, you will be able to secure cultivation resources." Long Ming smiled.


    Pulling out a paper, Long Ming used his Treasured Jade Brush and wrote something in Fragrant Yin Qi.


    " After talking to your brother, bring this to my Senior Sister Mu who is staying in our Four Seasons Valley''s abode in Holy Qilin City. She will understand."


    " This¡­This is too much for me, Young Master Long." Lin''er blushed as she tried to look away.


    " It''s alright. I don''t want a gem to get buried in the sand." Long Mingughed as he turned around.


    " I shall be waiting for you to join our sect, Lin''er."


    Lin''er heart thumped fast as she saw Long Ming leaving. Clutching the paper hard, she turned around and walked to her home, with new hope in her eyes.


    Meanwhile, Long Ming fell into deep thought as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes flickered.


    '' Lin''er¡­that girls luckpletely changed after I saved her. Did I identally trigger a butterfly effect?''


    '' But no matter what, her joining the sect would be good as she is certainly more talented than her brother.''


    It was already evening when he finished strolling. Picking a room in Yuxing Tower, Long Ming went for a cultivation session.


    The azure me slowly flickered around his body as he closed his eyes, visualizing his divine sea.


    '' Ugh, To think creating a natal weapon would be this tiresome.'' he clicked his tongue as he looked at the billet slowly getting refined by him inside his divine sea.


    It was none other than the natal weapon which he had been refining for the past few days. Although the creation process is over, shaping it ording to his will still remains.


    He didn''t want to rush this process, so Long Ming refined it slowly, imbuing his energy with each cycle of refinement.


    However, till now, Long Ming hasn''t decided what kind of natal treasure he wants to create.


    Sure, Sword is the emperor and Saber is a tyrant, Spear is like a dragon and armor protects all.


    However, Long Ming felt he needed something more¡­something more powerful and versatile.


    Suddenly, he saw the abyss in his divine sea stirring, catching a glimpse of the slumberingher dragon, darker than the darkness itself.


    An idea sprang in his mind as he slowly stirred the energy of hisher dragon, transferring its power to the embryonic natal weapon.


    Suddenly, the natal weapon quivered as it suddenly covered by a pitch ckyer of shadow. It slowly started to spin as if formed more and more pitch ck thread around it, like ayer.


    Long Ming felt like he heard a deep roar, resonating with his entire divine sea and soul. As time passed, the embryonic weapon was inside a ck cocoon, slowly pulsing.


    '' Hooo, I don''t know what just happened but I can feel the treasure already started to form. All I need to do is wait and give energy regrly and it will be ready.''


    Taking a deep breath, Long Ming opened his eyes as he thought about everything. But then, he remembered something he obtained from Lin''er''s brother when he cured her.


    Looking into his spatial bracelet for a while, he finally noticed the jade piece. Taking it out, Long Ming used his Divine Sense to look into it.


    Suddenly, an ominous feeling rose in his heart as he saw his divine sense was surrounded by blood colored miasma. Hurriedly, Long Ming retracted his divine sense, looking at the jade piece with realization.


    '' Ah, This jade piece is actually locked. It''s locked with special inscriptions, which only a practitioner of Crimson Blood Demonic Art can open.''


    '' Not to mention, if anyone tries to crack these rune inscriptions wrongly, their spiritual qi would get contaminated by the malevolent blood aura, giving serious soul injuries and leading to death.''


    But then, taking out his Treasured Jade Brush, Long Ming grinned.


    '' I can easily solve this though?''


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes opened as he used his supremeprehension to look at the inscriptions. They were like intricate patterns, interwoven with each other.


    One single mistake, and it will make a chain reaction. However, his Heavenly Revtion Eyes spotted the correct spot, which he used his brush to decrypt.


    Not to mention, using the Temporal Fate Simtion, Long Ming could see which rune might create idents, avoiding them entirely.


    Even with all these, it took an entire hour before he managed to crack the seal on the jade. After that, he used his Divine sense once again.


    This time, there were no idents. It was a sublime feeling as Long Ming''s divine sense slowly entered the jade. A series of information appeared in his soul as he could see certain scenes.


    Demonic beasts galloping, hoarse noise, and sounds of battle soared across the sky.


    The clouds turned crimson and dust rose from the ground, two factions fighting a life and death war.


    " The war between Eastern Province''s Righteous Alliance and Southern Province''s Tribe and Demon Sect was truly fearsome. Even cultivators of the Dao Refinement Realm perished in the battlefield."


    An aged voice spoke as an old man wearing a dark robe appeared before Long Ming''s field of vision.


    " It was the peak of the Harvestless Era, with no one seemed to be able to feel the Heavenly Dao. The resources are scarce in Southern and Western Province while Eastern and Central Province livingvishly."


    " Thus, the war for resources and supremacy began. Sects and powerhouses rose and fell, but it was eventually our defeat."


    " But it wasn''t entirely fruitless¡­Not entirely after all."


    " Unfortunately, my n suffered a betrayal. All of us got wiped out and the ancestor died while saving us."


    " But even if I survived, it doesn''t matter. I need revenge¡­Yet I need to preserve our legacy."


    " The Sky Fountain Pce¡­It was truly a magical ce. It''s perfect for hiding our n''s treasure."


    Suddenly, that figure looked at Long Ming as he spoke. " I can see you already gotten this jade. That means you have also gotten the Crimson Blood Demonic Art."


    " However, the version you are practicing is wed and you can''t go past the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm."


    " Find my treasury in the Sky Fountain Pce and you will find theplete technique there, along with other treasures."


    " Revenge¡­Is another thing. As long as our n''s legacy live on, it will be worth it.


    " Unless you have power, you must not reveal your technique or wealth."


    " The southern mountain of forest infested by ancient wryms, pass the trial and you shall see the path to the treasury."


    " However, Sky Fountain Pce has its own perils."


    "Also, Beware of the inheritance of Hong Luo. There is something wrong with his grave."


    As the message ended, Long Ming took a deep breath as he couldn''t help but get happy.


    " Well, Look at my luck. I casually found a treasure map. The only thing is¡­ Where is this Sky Fountain Pce?"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Hehe, I knew it! Big brother would agree!" Lin''er jumped as she hugged her elder brother.


    " Don''t worry, Elder Brother. Lin''er would grow up and be a powerful cultivator."


    " And then, we shall go and kill those who destroyed our n."

 Chapter 258 Selling Daily Quest Items Again

    <h4>Chapter 258 Selling Daily Quest Items Again</h4>


    Another night had passed as Long Ming woke up from his cultivation session. Wearing a casual robe, he went for a stroll in the Holy Qilin City streets.


    His eyes fell on the enigmatic fried dough seller, who just set up his stalls.


    " Hoho, Uncle, It seems you are pretty early today." Long Mingughed lightly as he walked to him.


    " Me? Early?" The middle aged manughed. " I always open my stall at this time. It''s you who came early today."


    " Haha, Is that so?" Long Ming picked his seat, " Then I will have two servings of fried dough and a bowl of beancurd paste."


    " Just a moment."


    The middle aged person gave a nce to Long Ming as he started to prepare for his order.


    " Well, I guess my day is going to be good." The middle aged man smiled.


    " Why do you think that, Uncle?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " Well, My first customer is the winner of Imperial Tourament after all."


    " Ah, So uncle knows me?" Long Ming chuckled. " But this isn''t fair. I don''t know uncle at all."


    " Haha, My name is Ma Xuzhou. My house is just nearby." Ma Xuzhouughed. " Besides, in front of your fame, how can an ordinary person like me stand?"


    " Hehe, It''s just the generosity of Senior Ma. If you show your authority, very few in this Holy Qilin Empire would dare to go against you."


    Ma Xuzhou''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Long Ming. " Here, Your beancurd and fried doughs."


    " Mm, These are pretty tasty." Long Ming munched on them with relish as he looked at Ma Xuzhou.


    " Haah, I guess I am really getting old. I didn''t expect someone would be able to see through my disguise. And a young brat like you." Ma Xuzhou sighed as he started to fry another batch of dough.


    " Well, Senior is only half right. It''s just I am too special and talented, who manage to see through your realm. I doubt there are many who have the same abilities as me."


    " Oh, I like your confidence. I guess the Four Seasons Valley truly got blessed by amazing talents in this era." Ma Xuzhon sighed.


    " Elder Ma, Are you affiliated to the Imperial Family?" Long Ming couldn''t help but ask in a curious voice.


    " What do you think?" Ma Xuzhou nced at Long Ming with an amusing smile.


    " I feel you are affiliated to the Imperial Qin Family, but you aren''t someone who has Qin Family''s Bloodline." Long Ming spoke.


    " Hehe, I guess your eyes are sharp after all." Ma Xuzhou nodded as he looked at the sky.


    " Just say I have someone who already left his position and enjoying a bit of my old years leisurely."


    " What is the age of Senior Ma?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " Well, I think I just crossed the mark of a thousand years?" Ma Xuzhou spoke.


    Long Ming hissed as he took a breath of deep air. " Well, I guess Elder Ma must know various secrets of the world."


    " What do you want to ask, brat?"


    Ma Xuzhou looked at Long Ming. He knew that Long Ming had some intentions since he approached him.


    However, he felt Long Ming''s personality was better than most of his peers, giving him a favorable impression.


    " Sky Fountain Pce?" Ma Xuzhou was startled. " Ah, Now you say that, It seems like it''s already time for it to open."


    " Elder Ma knows about this ce?" Long Ming was surprised.


    " Of course, The Sky Fountain Pce is a mysterious realm, with no definite time of opening. In minimum, it will take a hundred years to open and it can be stretched to a thousand years."


    " And guess what? It''s already been a few centuries since it appeared."


    " The gate of Sky Fountain Pce randomly appears between the mountain range of Eastern and Central Province."


    Long Ming''s face turned odd when he heard that. '' Wait, Does that mean the fragments of treasure maps everyone talking about are of Sky Fountain Pce?''


    " Then, Senior Ma, do you know anything about Daoist Hong Luo?"


    " Hong Luo? You can''t be talking about Sanguine Monarch Hong Luo, right?" Ma Xuzhou was startled. " But then, it''s rumored that he left his inheritance inside the Sky Fountain Pce. So, might be talking about him."


    '' I guess I was right! But then¡­ Why that figure inside the jade fragment warn me against the inheritance of Hong Luo? Is there something I don''t know?''


    " Elder Ma, If you have any information, Can you give it to me?" Long Ming asked expectantly.


    " Well, I do¡­But should I tell you?" Ma Xuzhou chuckled.


    " I have already talked enough with you. An ordinary man like me can''t know many things about ancient cultivators."


    '' What''s with this bastard?''


    Long Ming''s face turned sour when he heard Ma Xuzhou. However, he already revealed a lot, and getting the remaining information would be pretty easy.


    [ Ding! Daily Quest has arrived! Hos received 5000 drops of me Spirit Blood]


    [ me Spirit Blood: It''s not the blood of any beast, the condensation of natural spiritual me with me Dragon Ores. It can be used to empower the me during forging or can be used in pill refinement]


    [Time limit: One day]


    [ Reward: 4000 Credits]


    [ Failure: -4000 Credits]


    Long Ming clicked his tongue when he saw the impressive reward of 4000 Credits. However, looking at the description of the me Spirit Blood drops, Long Ming felt he wouldn''t be able to use it as quickly as the previous items.


    '' Well, If I can''t use them, I will just sell them.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    Suddenly, turning around, he looked at Ma Xuzhou. Since he is already a powerful Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator, he probably has a lot of treasures, right?


    " Elder Ma, Do you want to have a deal with me?" Long Ming spoke with a smile, almost giving goosebumps to Ma Xuzhou


    " What is it?"


    " Do you know anything about me Spirit Blood?"


    " me Spirit Blood? Do you have it?"


    Long Ming suddenly felt a shift in the atmosphere, like the calm and easygoing demeanor of Ma Xuzhou changed instantly. However, the Deste Immortal Aura and Immovable Heart of Long Ming didn''t make him feel anything.


    " Ah, Forgive me. I just got a bit¡­Absent minded." Ma Xuzhou realized what he had just done as he apologized.


    However, he was also amazed by Long Ming''s resilience. After all, an aura of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator can even make a Harmonization Realm cultivator bend on his knees.


    Yet, Long Ming stood calm andposed, as if he just felt a light breeze.


    " It''s alright, Elder Ma. I have quite a lot¡­Like¡­5000 drops."


    " What? 5000 drops?!"


    Ma Xuzhou almost jumped when he heard the amount of me Spirit Blood Long Ming had.


    " Are you trying to trick me?" Ma Xuzhou couldn''t help but frown.


    " Haha, Elder Ma, do I look like someone with a death wish?" Long Ming chuckled. " As I said, It''s a trade. I give you the drops and you shall give me something of equal value."


    " 5000 drops are¡­a bit too much." Ma Xuzhou frowned. " But it''s also alright. I do need a lot of me Spirit Blood."


    " How about this? I have a Royal grade soul technique. Along with it, I can give you the demonic core and spirit blood of a Demon King."


    " Hmm, These sounds very good. However, I think Elder Ma should add something extra. You know¡­Goodwill towards the younger generation?"


    " Brat, You are going too far." Ma Xuzhou looked at Long Ming with a gaze of contempt.


    " Well¡­" Long Ming shrugged. " I don''t think anyone has as much as me Spirit Blood as I have right now. So, Elder Ma should think carefully."


    " Damned brat¡­" Ma Xuzhou sighed as he pondered for a moment. " How about¡­ A treasure map?"


    " Of Sky Fountain Pce?" Long Ming looked at him.


    " No, But something in the Westward Bay." Ma Xuzhou shrugged. " Actually, I never verified the authenticity of the treasure map, but I believe it''s genuine."


    " You want to give me a treasure map that might be fake?" Long Ming became speechless.


    " Take it or leave."


    " Fine¡­I guess it can work." Long Ming sighed as he nodded. When Ma Xuzhou saw the five thousand drops of me Spirit Blood, his eyes quivered with exciement.


    " Haha, fucking hell! To think I would get so much me Spirit Blood¡­And they are so pure!" Ma Xuzhouughed out loud.


    " Well, I hope Elder Ma would keep guiding me in future." Long Ming cupped his fist as he turned around to leave.


    " Wait for a moment." Ma Xuzhou called Long Ming, making him stop.


    Taking out a few thick books, he handed it to Long Ming. " Judging from your look, you are very inexperienced. You should use your youth to explore various things across the world."


    ncing at the book titles, Long Ming''s eyes shone.


    " Haha, I shall keep that in mind, Elder Ma."

 Chapter 259 Repairing Sect Resource

    <h4>Chapter 259 Repairing Sect Resource</h4>


    [ Ding! Constetion Imp of Great Wealth is angry! He is saying Host shouldn''t use his precious items like that!]


    [ Ding! Constetion Gold Guarding Miser Dragon isughing! He is saying to not worry about the bastard imp and squander the resources. He is also adding the fact that the imp won''t be able to interfere anymore]


    '' Eh? Is that so?'' Long Ming became interested when he saw that.


    [ Ding! Daily Quespleted! Host gets 4000 Credits!]


    [ Ding! Host has spent the item in a very short time! Additional bonus 1000 Credits!]


    [ Ding! Challenge Quest window activated]


    [ Challenge Quest 1: Spend 8000 pieces of Blood Gold Ore in five hours]


    [ Reward: 7000 Credits]


    [ Failure: -8000 Credits]


    [ Challenge Quest 2: Spend 10,000 Illusion Runic Jades in six hours]


    [ Reward: 15,000 Credits]


    [Failure: -12,000 Credits]


    Long Ming looked at the challenges his eyes shone with brightness.


    The timer will start only after he picks a mission, which gives him an ample amount of time to prepare.


    Calcting, Long Ming felt that he could take the second challenge easily.


    As he returned to the Four Seasons Valley''s abode, he suddenly felt a cold wave of aura washing on his body.


    " Ah, So you finally remembered that our sect is having a disciple assessment, eh?" Mu Qinglian snorted as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Where have you been? Did you go to Hundred Flower Pavilion?"


    " I was just cultivating, Senior Sister." Long Ming became speechless. " Besides, Why do you care if I go to Hundred Flower Pavilion?"


    " Yo-You!"


    Mu Qinglian almost stomped her feet. How can this guy charm so many women yet make himself so annoying and repulsive before him?


    " Anyway, Thanks to you, we almost got dyed. Our Flying Treasure Boat is waiting outside. We need to take all the disciples back to the sect today."


    " Well, I came in time, no?" Long Ming grinned. " What are you waiting for? Let''s go back."


    The ancient flying treasure boat was veryrge, enough to carry all the disciples to the Four Seasons Valley. Long Ming realized that he could easily use this chance toplete his second challenge quest. As everyone boarded the flying boat, It slowly rose from the ground and streaked across the horizon.


    " That girl, Lin''er, I remember her. I am surprised that you invited her to join our sect." Mu Qinglian walked towards Long Ming and spoke.


    " Well, I can see that she is talented. As long as we give her the resources to grow, she will eventually be a powerful cultivator." Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian and exined.


    With their current speed, it almost took half a day to reach the Four Seasons Valley.


    When the disciples descended from the treasure boats, they couldn''t help but look at the Four Seasons Valley with awe.


    Towering mountains soared above the cloud, lush green vegetation, the heaven and earth energy which is much more abundant than outside, luxurious buildings and pagoda, everything made them mesmerized.


    Especially those girls who came from ordinary households. Looking at the scene before them, it was as if they arrived in paradise.


    " This¡­ This ce looks so heavenly!"


    " Is this truly the Four Seasons Valley? It''s so vast!"


    " To think I am going to cultivate in such a pce. I am truly lucky."


    As Long Ming got out, he noticed Grand Elder Wu Liang standing outside.


    To Long Ming''s surprise, she looked much younger than before, with her wrinkles vanishing and her body bing straighter than before.


    '' She¡­She was about to break through to the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm?'' Long Ming was surprised.


    " Greetings, Grand Elder. I didn''t think you woulde here to wee us." Long Ming cupped his fist as he bowed.


    " Haha, Brat, It looks like your face managed to recruit quite a lot of disciples, huh?" Wu Liang chuckled.


    " Huh? Not bad, I can''t see any Qi Condensation Realm girls at all. Even the weakest one is a?Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator."


    Long Mingughed when he heard the Wu Liang. " Well, What about the assessment test in Grand Sky City?"


    " It went fairly good. We have spotted quite some talents." Wu Liang nodded as she turned around.


    " Come inside, thest test is about to begin."


    The final test was something fair and simple. The Crystal Heart Mirror was something that could show the deepest desire of a person.


    If any disciple harbors any suspicious intent, they will get caught.


    Long Ming was too bored to participate in that. Therefore, he went and flirted with Xiao''er.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt a presence as he turned around, gazing at an elder looking at the process with great interest. Long Ming vanished from his position and appeared before him.


    " Elder Hao, you came out of seclusion? It''s a pleasant surprise."


    " Haha, You have been handling the sect affair quite well, Long Ming." Hua Tianci smiled when he saw Long Ming.


    " Well, My seclusion was pretty good. My strength already reached the Mid stage of Nine Transformations of Soul Realm." Hua Tianci smiled.


    " Haha, That''s good. It means the strength of our sect increased." Long Mingughed.


    " Elder Hua, I need to consult you about the Thousand Illusiory Demon Formation."


    " Thousand Illusiory Demon Formation?" Hua Tianci was surprised. " Well, I remember it as it was there since my time. However, it remained unused for thousands of years and became disabled."


    " Are you thinking of reactivating it?"


    The Thousand Illusion Demon Formation is a powerful array formation that creates illusions. The array formation was best for the disciples who could train with the illusions.


    It was an extremely lifelike illusion, which can affect all five senses.


    Other than being used for training, it can be also used as a sect protection formation to trap enemies.


    However, after Four Seasons Valley fell from grace, the amount of disciples and resources lessened. So the sect had to disable many training resources as they ran on spirit stones.


    But now since they have enough resources, Long Ming wanted to reactivate it.


    " It''s true that we have ample amount of resources now. However, the array pirs have been cracked and we need to change all the illusion runes on it. It will take a fair amount of time." Hua Tianci spoke.


    " What if I say I already have high quality illusion runes?" Long Ming grinned. " All we need to do is to rece them, right?"


    " Eh? That''s true but¡­"


    " Great! We have only six hours." Long Ming turned around, giving Hua Tianci no chance to reply.


    Looking at Chu Li, Long Ming gave instructions. " Chu Li, Go and inform Luo Yingying and others who study Rune Inscriptions. Tell them to gather in the southern part of the sect."


    " As you say, Senior Brother Long." Chu Li cupped her fist and left.


    Soon enough, Luo Yingying and others gathered where Long Ming instructed them.


    "Senior Brother, You want to rebuild the Thousand Illusory Demon Array?" Luo Yingying''s eyes became shiny when she heard that.


    " Hehe, I am already so excited. I always wanted to study the ancient rune inscriptions of our sect."


    " However, We need to remove the runes from the array pirs and rece them with new ones." She frowned. " Should we order everyone to start crafting them?"


    " No need." Long Ming waved his hands as hexagonal jade tokens showered before them.


    Including Hua Tianci, everyone''s eyes turned wide when they checked the tokens.


    " These¡­These are¡­Illusion Runic Jades?" Hua Tianci spoke with astonishment.


    " Each of them is so perfect and made with high quality spirit rune jade. Not to mention, they also have a synergy effect!"


    " Uhmm¡­Senior Brother, You already had them? How many pieces of jades do you have?" Luo Yinying spoke in a dry voice.


    " Not much." Long Ming spoke in an honest voice.


    " Only 10,000 pieces."


    " WHAT?!"


    Luo Yingying couldn''t help but think how annoying Long Ming could be. He had ten thousand pieces of runes yet he said he doesn''t have much?"


    " However, we only have six hours to ce them on array pirs. Else, they will vanish." Long Ming warned.


    " So, stop standing like idiots and start working already!"


    " Yes! Senior Brother!"


    " Right away!"


    Long Ming already epted the task and the clock started to tick. Looking at the timer, he also started to rece the broken runes with new ones.


    Thanks to Hua Tianci''s abilities and Long Ming and Luo Yingying''s meticulousness and vision, the work ended swiftly.


    In six hours, they reced all the runes of the array pirs with new rune jades and connected the pirs with underground spirit veins.


    *BOOM!BOOM!*


    The pirs lit up with radiance as they slowly started to make the surroundings distorted. A ck mist slowly encroached the area, making it cut off from the outside world.


    However, it didn''t affected anyone as it just remained there silently.


    " Haha! It''s a sess!" Hua Tianci spoke in an excited voice. " It truly brings back the memories."


    " With this, Our disciples would be able to train even better."

 Chapter 260 Master, Where is My Reward?

    <h4>Chapter 260 Master, Where is My Reward?</h4>


    [ Ding! Hostpleted the Challenge Quest 2! Host recieved 10,000 Credits!]


    Long Ming''s eyes brightened when he saw the notification. '' Not bad. A few challenge quests like this and I will be able to purchase the Sky Lightning Crown.''


    Hua Tianci sighed as he looked at the Thousand Illusion Demon Array. " To think wepleted it in a mere six hours. Not to mention, it''s much stronger than the past."


    Long Ming nodded as he looked at the array formation. " As long as our disciples use this to grind experience, it will be worth it."


    " Thank you, Everyone. You worked hard today." Long Ming smiled as he looked at them. " I will ask the elders to give each of you two thousand contribution points."


    " Haha, Thank you, Senior Brother. You are very generous."


    " Thank you, Senior Brother."


    Luo Yingying looked at Long Ming. " Senior Brother, I have gained some new insights about the rune formations. How about you¡­"


    " No, I am busy." Long Ming showed her his palm as he refused instantly.


    No way he is going discuss rune formations with Luo Yingyong for hours. It''s too boring for him.


    Besides, he remembered that he got an important task to deal with.


    '' Hehe, How could I forget about this?;


    " But Senior Brother¡­" Luo Yingying called him out. However, Long Ming already vanished by then. She couldn''t help but stomp her feet out of anger.


    " Stinky Senior Brother! You always leave me like this!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " Haah¡­I am d that our sect is progressing. However, why the paperworks and memorials are also increasing?" Xia Yuqing sighed as she looked at the table before her.


    Rubbing her forehead, she stood up and walked towards her courtyard. However, not long after, her expression faltered as she turbed around, feeling someone at the gate of her Deste Winter Pce.


    Not long after, Long Ming appeared before her, cupping his fist and bowing politely.


    " Greetings, Master."


    " En, Why did youe here?"


    Xia Yuqing spoke as she turned around, looking at the sky as it was already evening.


    " Master, I havee to report that the Thousand Illusory Demon Array has been restored. We can use to train our disciples and other purposes too."


    " En, That''s good." Xia Yuqing nodded absent mindedly. But then, her expression changed as she looked back at Long Ming.


    " What do you say? You restored the Thousand Illusory Demon Array? How ?"


    " Well¡­Let''s say I have gotten my hands on some resources and we just utilized it. Thus, the work got done faster." Long Ming replied with a smile.


    " Thousand Illusory Demon Array¡­It''s really good." Xia Yuqing murmured.


    After all, such a ce can give actual battle experieces without harming anyone physically.


    " You did a very good job." Xia Yuqing''s lips curled up as she smiled lightly.


    " Not to mention, you brought back an amazing batch of disciples from the Holy Qilin City. All of them are full of potential, talents and passion."


    " In a few years, our Four Seasons Valley would be able to reach back the peak where it was long time ago."


    " Master''s words shalle true." Long Ming spoke with a faint smile.


    And after that¡­Both became silent as they stared at each other. Long Ming blinked as he looked at Xia Yuqing, who also stared at him.


    " What is it, Long Ming?"


    " What what?"


    " Is there anything you wish to say?"


    Long Ming sighed as he made a pouting expression. " I guess Master doesn''t understand."


    " Yes? What is it?" Xia Yuqing became genuinely confused as she couldn''t understand what Long Ming was talking about.


    " Rewards, Master¡­Should you not give me some sort of rewards?" Long Ming asked the question in a pressing voice.


    " Rewards? Ahh¡­Yes¡­Rewards. Yes."


    Xia Yuqing came to realization as she almost facepalmed herself. Of course, how could she forget such a thing?


    " So, Shall I let you pick something from the treasury once again?"


    " Is that it?" Long Ming became speechless. " Master, Do you wish to your disciple do all work with no rewards?"


    " What do you mean, disciple? Is there anything you want specifically?"


    Xia Yuqing knew Long Ming was throwing tantrums. So, she alsoplied with him as she asked him in a soothing voice.


    " Well, Calcting¡­The rewards of Battle Tournament, and disciple assessment are also pending. Now I remember¡­Master did promised something during the Battle Tournament."


    Xia Yuqing became stunned as she heard Long Ming''s recounting. She finally realized why she forgot about the rewards of Long Ming.


    It''s because she subconsciously wanted to avoid Long Ming on this topic.


    Remembering the night when Long Ming massaged her, Xia Yuqing''s cheeks became rosey as she turned away from Long Ming.


    " I¡­I remember. Of course, I do. It''s just that I didn''t found a perfect oppertunity to discuss about this."


    " Well, The opportunity is now, Master."


    Long Ming grinned as he approached her. " You look so tired, Master. I hope this disciple can relieve your fatigue."


    Xia Yuqing didn''t turn around, but she could imagine Long Ming''s lecherous face right now.


    " Long Ming, For heaven''s sake, I am your Master!"


    " That makes everything better, Master." Long Ming replied without hesitation, making Xia Yuqing falter.


    For her, the rtionship between the Master and disciple should remain pure. However, she already heard so many tales about the secret affairs between the master and disciples.


    '' To think he also harbors such intentions towards me. No, I must not give this time.''


    Rubbing her cheeks, Xia Yuqing took deep breaths as she turned around.


    " Long Ming, Listen to me¡­"


    However, before she could finish her sentence, her eyes fell on Long Ming''s eyes, making her lose herposure,


    " Master, Allow me¡­Please?"


    Xia Yuqing was about to say no, but feeling Long Ming''s gaze filled with his unhidden desires made her swallow her words back.


    " Yo-You¡­"


    " Yes, I am¡­And I want to do this." Long Ming held her soft hand as he spoke, with a bit more emphasis on his words.


    " Sigh¡­You are¡­Going to regret this." Xia Yuqing turned around as she walked towards her bedroom. " Follow me."


    " Master, I believe you aren''t married. Is there anyone else in your heart?" Long Ming became bolder as he asked the question.


    " Why do you ask, Long Ming?"


    " Well, I want to chase your heart, Master."


    Xia Yuqing''s expression changed when she heard that. Although she knew Long Ming''s intention, she never expected him to be this frank.


    " Long Ming, Is this how you should talk to your Master?" Xia Yuqing asked curtly, turning around and looking at Long Ming.


    " I believe the rtionship between Master and Disciple remains transparent. Therefore, I do not wish to hide anything from you."


    '' What he says is indeed¡­Right. But why do I feel something is wrong with how he is putting it?'' She thought inwardly.


    " And how you going to do that?" Xia Yuqing asked Long Ming once again.


    " By obtaining your body and heart, Master." Long Ming grinned.


    " Pervert, You already had thoughts of your Master''s body long ago, no?" She snorted slightly when she heard Long Ming''s open deration.


    " The moment I saw you, Master." Long Ming replied calmly.


    Xia Yuqing felt like she was going crazy. ''Damn it! Can he not answer everything so honestly? He is giving me no chance to counterattack!''


    Biting her lips, she felt defeated. " Fine, What do you want to do, Disciple?"


    " Master, I am seeing that you have been working hard these days. How about your disciple give you a massage? Just likest time¡­But even better."


    " Haah, You aren''t going to leave without, are you?" Xia Yuqing turned away. " Turn around and let me change."


    " Umm, How about I look at you, Master?" Long Ming rubbed his palm. " I swear I will erase it from my mind after looking once."


    " Yo-You!"


    Clenching her fist, Xia Yuqing nced at Long Ming. But her lips curled slightly.


    " Very well, As you wish, Disciple."


    Now, It was Long Ming''s turn to get surprised. He didn''t expect Xia Yuqing to agree to it right away.


    As his eyes glued to her body, Xia Yuqing unfastened her belt and took off her robe, which fell onto her body smoothly.


    Long Ming clicked his tongue as he finally realized why Xia Yuqing didn''t protest.


    " Huehue¡­Master is sure cunning." LongMing couldn''t help but pursed his lips.


    Wearing a ck dudou with small flower patterns on it, Xia Yuqing stood before Long Ming. Her snowy white thighs were exposed, with her ample breasts showing more of the tight and deep valley between them.


    However, other than that, most of her upper body was covered by dudou, it''s the same as exposing nothing while also being immodest.


    Truly a blend of tantalizing yet elegant.


    " What? I guess my disciple was hoping to see something more?" Xia Yuqing snickered, with her heatughing for her first victory in the evening against Long Ming.


    However, before Long Ming could proceed, a voice echoed in the halls.


    " Elder Sister! There is an urgent news!"


    " Elder Meng?"


    " Meng Zhi?"

 Chapter 261 Great Threat

    <h4>Chapter 261 Great Threat</h4>


    Xia Yuqing and Long Ming''s expressions changed when they heard Meng Zhi''s voice.


    " Get away."


    Xia Yuqing pushed Long Ming to her side as she hurriedly gathered her clothes and dressed up. When the door opened, Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming and Xia Yuqing sitting beside a table, facing each other.


    " What¡­were you two doing?" Meng Zhi''s expression became odd when she saw Xia Yuqing''s cloth were a little messy.


    " Haha, Nothing, Big Sister Meng." Long Ming smiled. " I was telling Master that the Thousand Illusory Demon Formation has been activated."


    " Ah, Is that so?" Meng Zhi was surprised. " Damn, I rushed to the Eternal Springs Tower so I didn''t know that."


    " What is it, Meng Zhi? Why do you look so hurried?" Xia Yuqing raised her eyebrows.


    " Ah, This is not good. That damned Sky Martial Tower''''s bastards are plotting against us!"


    " What did they do?" Long Ming narrowed his eyes as he looked at Meng Zhi.


    " Those bastards¡­They want us to marry Shu Changyan to Mu Qinglian." Meng Zhi gritted her teeth.


    " WHAT?!"


    Long Ming and Xia Yuqing''s expressions changed when they heard Meng Zhi.


    " Those bastards! They want us to betroth Mu Qinglian to that cripple?" Xia Yiqng red up instantly.


    " How dare they!"


    Long Ming''s eyes turned cold also when he heard that. Shu Changyan got crippled by Mu Qinglian during the Battle Tournament.


    Unless Sky Martial Tower brought out some heavenly treasures to heal him, it would be impossible for him to cultivate in this lifetime.


    " Has he recovered?" Long Ming asked in a low voice.


    " I don''t think so. After Shu Gongyan died and Shu Changyan crippled, many other disciples tried to vie for the Holy Chlid''s position within the sect."


    " They said that Mu Qinglian ruined Shu Changyan''s life and also drove Shu Gongyan to death. She should shoulder the responsibility."


    " Heh, they want to humiliate Four Seasons Valley, By marrying Shu Changyan to Mu Qinglian, they want us to bow down before them." Long Ming hissed under his breath.


    " I guess the time hase. Sky Martial Tower already endured enough and nning tounch an attack against Four Seasons Valley."


    " An attack, right now?" Xia Yuqing frowned.


    " Of course, we just recruited a lot of disciples. We can''t guarantee if someone spies sneaked into our sect." Meng Zhi replied.


    " Not to mention, I believe it''s not only Sky Martial Tower." Lon Ming added. " The Blissful Heaven Temple, The Green Cloud Sect and a faction of Imperial Family might also join hands with them."


    " Long Ming is right. Our enemies won''t let go of such a chance," Meng Zhi replied anxiously.


    " However, Sister Meng, you are getting overly worried." Long Ming suddenly smiled. " Are you forgetting that our sect is no longer the empty Imperial Linage of past?"


    " We have grown more powerful, possess more treasures and techniques. If a fight breaks out, we can slowly use our hidden trump cards."


    " Indeed, Long Ming is right." Xia Yuqing looked at both of them as she nodded. " Also, Elder Hua and Elder GHuang also returned to our sect. Not to mention Lady Bai He¡­"


    Meng Zhi''s expression turned solemn. " Lady Bai He? It thought her condition was critical?"


    " No, Grand Elder confirmed that the process is showing positive results. If nothing happens, we will summondy Bai He."


    Long Ming became confused for a moment when he heard Lady Bai He''s name.


    '' Is it some ancestor who entered a secluded cultivation and preserved her power?'' Long Ming had a guess and realized it might be true.


    " Master, Should we start preparing?" Long Ming looked at her and asked.


    " Of course, If Sky Martial Towers truly wishes to fight against us one more time, Let it be!" Xia Yuqing snorted as she turned around.


    " It''s only a rumor that my spy heard in Sky Martial Tower." Meng Zhi replied. " We still have time till they make an official announcement."


    " Very well, Inform all the vitals people and ask them to prepare themselves. Also, Long Ming. Take my token and you shall have ess to all the entire treasury of Four Seasons Valley."


    " I hope you use them wisely."


    " As Master wishes." Long Ming cupped his fist and nodded.


    '' Fuck these Sky Martial Tower bastards! How dare they disrupt the sweet time between me and Master?''


    '' Hehe, Trying to eradicate Four Seasons Valley? You all are courting death!''


    Xia Yuqing could see how angry Long Ming was. She couldn''t help but find this adorable and funny.


    " Hmm, Is he angry after getting disturbed?'' Hehe, Serves you tight, you treacherous disciple. How dare you cover the pure body of your Master?''


    " Meng Zhi, You also increase the number of patrolling around the valley and in the entire Grand Sky City. Also, inform Elder An to grab all the finances and get ready for the war."


    " As you wish, Elder Sister." Meng Zhi cupped her fist as she gave a smile at Xia Yuqing.


    " Elder Sister, Perhaps along with cultivation, you should also focus on relieving your physical needs."


    " How about I use my new finger technique¡­"


    " Meng Zhi! Get lost!"


    Xia Yuqing''s cheeks turned red as she shouted, yeeting Meng Zhi out of the room. However, she sighed as she realized a trace of a smile on her face.


    '' She still can''t see me worried, hm?''


    '' No matter what, We are going to cross this tribtion. Four Seasons Valley¡­I shall not let it die.''


    Clenching her fist, Xia Yuqing walked towards her cultivation cave as she took a deep breath. Calming his mind, she sat cross legged and entered in a meditavtive state.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    " This¡­This is not good, Young Master." Xiao''er became worried. " What should we do?"


    " Xiao''er, I believe you have a good impression on all our disciples?" Long Ming smiled.


    " Of course. They are very respectful to me. I am Senior Brother Long''s personal maid after all." Xiao''er smiled lightly.


    " Very well. Warn all our previous disciples and ask them to keep eye on the newly recruited disciple." Long Ming''s voice became serious.


    " We will never know if there are any spies infiltrated among them."


    " As you wish, Young Master." Xiao''er nodded.


    Long Ming believed that the disciples whom he selected from the Holy Qilin City weren''t problematic as he was personally overseering them.


    However, he had to wary of the disciples who attended the ceremony in the Grand Sky City.


    Using some special techniques, anyone can conceal their malicious thoughts from the Crystal Heart Mirror. Therefore, Long Ming hard to resort to this.


    As Xiao''er left, Long Ming sat on his usual stone b as he gazed at the distant horizon of night sky. From here, he could gaze the beautiful city lights of Grand Sky City.


    '' Haah, No matter what, trouble alwayses knocking on the door. I should focus on increasing my strength.''


    Long Ming though about something as he closed his eyes and activated the Temporal Fate Simtion Technique.


    Suddenly, his spiritual qi surged as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes became even deeper.


    The reality around him became hazy as he looked at the flickering scenes before him. He started to feel the pain in his brain as the his spiritual qi trembled.


    The Soul Protecting Bell rang gently in his soul, trying lift the supression of Temporal Fate Simtion technique.


    Long Ming gritted his teeth as he looked at the scene slowly unfolding before his eyes.


    Ancient Flying Treasure Boats lined in the sky as they slowly floated towards the Four Seasons Valley.


    The next scene showed a fierce argument between Xia Yuqing and the elders of Sky Martial Tower.


    It didn''t look long as the fight finally broke out. The more Long Ming saw the future, the more painful the suppression on his soul became.


    However, Long Ming persisted as he didn''t want to miss a single chance to fuck Sky Martial Tower and all the enemies of the Four Seasons Valley.


    " North gate¡­Got breached from the inside. Hehe, so there is a traitor there after all." Long Ming''s body trembled as he could feel the blood welling up in his throat.


    Finally, Long Ming''s spiritual qi fell to rock bottom as he felt he couldn''t take it anymore.


    In thest scene he saw the sky changing its color as two weapons shed in the sky.


    '' Imperial Weapons, So Sky Martial Tower came prepared.''


    Long Ming canceled his Temporal Fate Simtion Technique as he fell back on the ground, panting heavily. Taking out some pills from his storage bracelet, Long Ming popped them in his mouth, feeling the spiritual qi slowlying back.


    '' Since the North gate is about to be breached, How can we not take advantage of it?''


    A cold smile appeared on Long Ming''s face as he slowly started to prepare a meticulous countern.


    '' I hope they attack soon. In that way, my little system will finally be put to good use.''


    Looking back at the token, Long Ming remembered Xia Yuqing''smand as he slowly got up.


    " Let''s see what Four Seasons Valley hiding in the secret treasury."

 Chapter 262 Healing Elder Bai He?

    <h4>Chapter 262 Healing Elder Bai He?</h4>


    Long Ming already caught a glimpse of the general n of the attack on Sky Martial Tower. If they do what they would¡­then Long Ming can simply flip the entire table in the most crucial time, giving Sky Martial Tower a devastating strike.


    '' Wait, now I think of it¡­Isn''t Four Seasons Valley a bit lonely here? Or do we just be a scapegoat in everyone''s eyes? Or a pie waiting to get divided?''


    However, the situation was at least favorable towards the Four Seasons Valley. After all, sects like Six Sword Pavilion and Violet Cloud Sect didn''t join the Sky Martial Tower to attack Four Seasons Valley.


    '' But if we look at the things, wouldn''t Sky Martial Tower also have enemies? Can''t we join hands with them?''


    '' No, that would be revealing both our cards and weaknesses. We need to make things appear in such a way that we can take as much help from others without giving too much in return.''


    Thinking about that, Long Ming reached the treasury of the Four Seasons Valley. Although he had visited here before, he didn''t go to the topmost floors at all.


    " The Natal Weapons of the Heavenly Emperors are the most fearsome weapons in the world, capable of reducing ten thousand li in a blink of an eye."


    " As far as I know, there should be at least four or more Natal imperial Weapons in Four Seasons Valley''s treasury. However¡­"


    When he arrived at the top floor, he sighed. " Four Seasons Valley only have one at this moment."


    Before him stood a saber, which looked like made from zing red fire crystals. The entire de''s body was made up of red crystal, with its hilt being ck as obsidian.


    Just looking at it, Long Ming could feel a powerful intent of me and ughter from it, washing his face like a tidal wave.


    Even without any of his abilities, Long Ming could feel the Grand Dao of me and ughterpressed within that saber.


    " me ughter Saber of Empress Crimson Sky." Long Ming mumbled as he looked at it.


    " To think other than this, there aren''t any Natal Imperial Weapons in our treasury. We even lost the Progenitor Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor''s natal treasure."


    With Long Ming''s calction, The Sky Martial Tower should have two or three Imperial Natal Weapons. So, with this saber alone, Four Seasons Valley can''t defeat them.


    However, on the other hand, in recent months, they acquired many Blessed Imperial Treasures and True Imperial Treasures from ck Pearl City and Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    Now, it truly became fight between quality and quantity.


    " Child¡­Are you here to take Imperial treasures?"


    A voice echoed, making Long Ming startled. After all, he didn''t felt anyone''s presence.


    " Are you¡­The guardian of the treasury?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " Hoho, I am. You are indeed smart as Wu Liang told me. No wonder the Sect flourished so much in few months."


    " May I know the identity of the respected elder?" Long Ming asked in a polite voice.


    " I am Bai He¡­Just an old woman with one foot in the grave."


    " Elder Bai¡­ Are you perhaps the one who has been guarding our sect for thest few centuries?" Long Ming was surprised. He had heard that name from Xia Yuqing and Meng Zhi''s conversation.


    " Haha, I am amused that a younger generation person like you heard my name. Unfortunately, I can''te to greet you personally."


    " Elder Bai already reached the peak of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm, with a step away from Dao Refining Realm, I presume?"


    " Haha, Dao Refining Realm¡­It''s simply a dream." Elder Bai''s sorrowful sigh drifted out.


    " I already exhausted a lot of my lifespan to kill the old man from the Sky Martial Tower that year. However, because I forcefully raised my cultivation, my foundation became damaged."


    " I don''t think I can reach Dao Refining realm in this lifetime."


    " However, As long as I am alive, I will protect this ce."


    " Elder Bai must not lose hope. I will try my best to help you." Long Ming replied with a smile.


    " So, What is it? I don''t think Little Xia would permit someone to visit the treasury at such time."


    Long Ming nodded as he spoke everything about the attack.


    '' I guess Elder Bai always remains secluded, preserving her life force for one moment of pure attack.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.

    [ However, Since it''s tainted, It''s advisable for a person to not consume more than ten. Else the taint will make their body overwhelm and lead to deviation]


    Long Ming''s expression turned odd when he heard that. '' Fuck, Here I thought my plot armor kicked in and I got a good item this time. That damned imp¡­''


    '' Wait, It says it''s tainted, right? What if I remove the taint? Doesn''t that mean¡­''


    " Elder Bai, I have to go back. Perhaps, I have found a way to¡­


    Nevermind, If I seed, I will inform you."


    Long Ming didn''t finish his sentence as even he wasn''t confident to pull off what was thinking.


    " Go ahead, Child. I should also go to rest."


    Elder Bai''s voice fadded and the treasury regain its silence. Long Ming nodded as he turned around and left.


    .


    .


    .


    " This¡­Where did you get this thing? It''s a very good material to refine pills or creating healing talismans, you know?" Luo Yingying checked the orb with a curious gaze.


    " However, the dark veins¡­It looks like it''s tainted by some unknown energy."


    " I know that." Long Ming nodded. " What I want to ask if we can refine the tainted energy from it and extract pure Wood Qi of healing from it?"


    " It''s possible¡­However, It won''t be easy." Luo Yingying got up and pulled out a thick book from the shelf.


    " This is a rare natural treasure, and extracting energy from it is difficult. Not to mention the taint is ingrained deeply with it."


    " To extract the energy, you need a giant extracting formation made by at least four Royal Formation Masters, creating a Grade seven Array Formation."


    " Not to mention, the formation needs the Deep Abyssal Core, which would act as the main catalyst and extractor. And depending on the quantity, a single one will take one day to separate both energy."


    Long Ming couldn''t help but get frustrated when he heard that. He thought extracting them would be easier.


    '' Eating more than ten will umte taint in a person''s body and make their cultivation deviate. But eating only ten won''t heal Elder Bai''s body.''


    '' Let me see¡­I amcking both an extractor and time¡­Time¡­


    Time?''


    Suddenly, Long Ming thought about something as his eyes sparkled with radiance.


    " Haha, How did I forget about this?"


    With a wave of his hands, the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes appeared before him. Seeing the exquisite vase, Luo Yingying couldn''t help but get interested.


    " What is this, Senior Brother? A strange treasure of yours?"


    " Hehe, Luo Yingying, take this token and bring all sorts of rare herbs we have in the Medicinal Hall." Long Ming instructed.


    With a nod, Luo Yingying vanished from her spot. After a while, she returned with a lot of herbs, ranging between the ages of a thousand years to ten thousand years.


    Just inhaling their fragrance made their body rejuvenate. However, most of these herbs can''t be consumed directly.


    However, Long Ming didn''t care about it. Taking out his medicinal cauldron, he threw the herbs and utilized his Azure mes to slowly refine them, extracting their medicinal essence.


    As the medicinal essence slowly gathered in the cauldron, like a multicolored syrup, Long Ming stopped his refinement. He didn''t want to refine any medicinal pills, but the liquid extraction of medicinal herbs.


    Without any dy, Long Ming stored away the essence first, then took out the Wood Spirit Orbs. Seeing so many orbs at once, Luo Yingying''s eyes almost dropped out.


    " Wh-What? How many do you have?"


    " Hehe, Don''t worry."


    Long Ming dumped all the orbs inside the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes, and also took out his spirit stones to dump inside it. The flowery pattern on the body of the urn slowly lit up as Long Ming used his divine sense to control it.


    " Refine it and increase the speed of time by one hundred times."


    The spirit stones decreased at a rapid rate as the orbs started to churn inside the urn. Long Ming waited with bated eyes as he saw the orbs slowly melting inside it.


    He didn''t bother and threw loads and loads of spirit stones. However, the rate of consumption was too great.


    " Fuck, Is it taking more spirit stones because the quality of orbs are too great?" Long Ming bit his lips.


    However, he wasn''t low on spirit stones. He is willing to throw all spirit stones inside the urn if it gives him the result he wants.


    After spending over five million high grade spirit stones, Long Ming''s divine will sensed something inside the urn.


    With his skilful maniption of spiritual qi, a ckyer and a greenyer separated from each other, acting like oil and water. With utmost carefulness, Long Ming extracted the liquid taint and stored it.


    " Hehe, If I can''t made medicinal pill...I will simply make wine."

 Chapter 263 I Like You

    Chapter 263 I Like You


    His Wine Making talent is finally being useful again. After all, a medicinal wine is something that contains both medicine and wine.


    It''s been a while since he brewed any wine. However, Long Ming already formed many recipes in his mind. And now, he found the opportunity to do experiment with one.


    The wood spirit orb as the main ingredient, the ancient medicinal herbs would act as supplements. By his calctions, it should be able to heal Elder Bai''s injuries.


    Or at least, give her chance to fight without exhausting her lifeforce and killing her midway.


    The Heavenly Urn of Frozen me was perfect for this. Not only does it enhance the quality of wine and can easily blend or separate vors, but it can also speed up the time inside it by consuming spirit stones. It''s a perfect time chamber, with Long Ming can easily control time as he wishes. One day outside, and more than a hundred years would pass inside it.


    As thest orb fell into the urn, Long Ming closed the lip and let it stay within a pile of spirit stones. " I have already done what I could have. Now, All I can hope is that it will work."


    [ Ding! Hostpleted Daily Quest! Host received 8000 Credits!]


    '' Using the materials to craft items is the same as consuming. Well, This got used faster than I thought.''


    '' Let''s see how much would remain after Elder Bai consumes it. The remaining portion can be used as healing medicine during the battle.'' " Senior Brother, Are you ok?"


    " Ah, Yingying, I am alright." Long Ming smiled as he looked at her.


    " With a bit more, I will be a Grandmaster Runemaster. However, I keep failing to make Earth grade talismans." She sighed.


    " You need to increase your spiritual qi to craft Earth grade talismans. However, that''s not the main issue." Long Ming''s voice became serious.


    " To create a talisman of Earth grade and beyond, not only do you need to understand theplex rune formations, you also need toprehend the intent of the talisman you are crafting."


    " For example, Assume you want to create the Earth grade Raging Tempest Talisman. To craft it, you need to put the Intent of Wind into your talisman. Else, it won''t work."


    " But of course, It doesn''t mean you need toprehend it fully. After all, That would mean a runemaster toprehend thousands of intents. All you need to do is to imitate its power and use your spiritual qi to make a stamp of it."


    " Then use the stamp while making talismans. It will work."


    Watch,prehend, and inscribe, that''s the rule of rune inscription. And as time passes, the basic seven runes will once again appear before the high level runemasters, in a much moreplex yet necessary way.


    Long Ming knew that Luo Yingying was a rare talent in the field of rune inscription. Therefore, All she needs is a little push and she will be able to soar.


    '' Only if I could find something like the inheritance of a runemaster or something¡­'' However, despite that, Long Ming taught Luo Yingying the entire day. After all, he didn''t have much to do other than the urn was still processing the wine.


    Finally, when the Long Ming felt it was already finished, he opened the urn. A burst of fragrance drifted out from the urn, making Luo Yingying feel like she was standing in an ancient forest.


    " This¡­This feels like¡­So fresh and ancient. It''s like I am walking in a deep mountain, surrounded by primordial trees towering to the sky."


    " The breath of the wild, it''s entering my pores." Luo Yingying closed her eyes as she mumbled. " If one has enough of this, they canprehend the Intent of Wood from this."


    " Indeed¡­This does feel pretty amazing." Long Ming looked at the crystal emerald liquid in the urn as he mumbled.


    He could feel that the wine had already been fermented beyond a thousand years. And the true qi inside it was something simply outrageous.


    Without waiting longer, Long Ming held the urn and walked out. Meanwhile, Luo Yingying didn''t even notice as she was already immersed in the notes and insights provided by Long Ming.


    .


    .


    ..


    .


    " Child, You have returned."


    " Elder Bai He, I have brought something for you. I wonder if it would work?"


    Saying that, Long Ming opened the lid of the urn, making the rich energy of Wood and Vitality burst out from it. A surprised gasp echoed as the urn floated.


    " This¡­is wine? How intriguing. I have never seen any wine possessing such strong vitality."


    " Elder Bai, Please have as much as you want and heal your wounds. It would be best if you ascend to Dao Refining Realm."


    " This¡­This might be a bit far fetched. However, Let''s see¡­"


    Not long after, an rmed voice echoed in Long Ming''s ears.


    " Long Ming, Where did you get this wine? Are you sure I can have as much as I want?"


    " You are free to do it, Elder Bai." Long Ming grinned. " I just want you to return to your prime."


    However, after Long Ming said that, he didn''t get any replies. But the Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes vanished. So Long Ming took that as approval from Elder Bai He.


    " Now, The next step¡­"


    After thinking for a moment, Long Ming turned around and left to talk to Elder Hua."


    When Elder Hua heard Long Ming''s proposition, he couldn''t help but get surprised.


    " You brat, You are really cunning, don''t you?"


    " Hehe, I will take that as apliment."Long Ming cupped his fist with amusement.


    " However, How did you know the northern gate was going to get breached first? You know the traitor within the sect?" " Not yet." Jun Tianyun shook his head. " However, we can use this opportunity to bait the fish out of the water."


    " Other than that, I have another idea to easily iste the new disciples." Long Ming grinned. "'' How about we send them to the Azure Sun Secret Realm?"


    " They would simply believe it''s a secret realm within the Four Seasons Valley, not the Azure Sun Secret Realm. And if they dare to venture out of the safe zone, they will get killed by demonic beasts."


    Hua Tianci rubbed his chin as he nodded. " Not bad, In this way, We would be able to protect our disciples while striking back with all our might."


    " Also, I believe Elder Huang should also get a True Imperial Weapon for himself. He needs tounch a surprise attack, dealing the main enemy force a devastating strike."


    " You are Elder Huang are our trump cards as they probably know about Elder Bai. Therefore, we must take advatage of it."


    " Very well, We shall put your n into the action. Thankfully, It won''t be too hard."


    .


    .


    .


    Late evening, Long Ming was making a few final preparations before Mu Qinglian descended before him.


    Long Ming was about to greet her in his usual yfulness, but looking at her face, he paused.


    " Senior Sister, Are you alright?"


    " Why¡­Why didn''t you tell me first." Mu Qinglian''s body trembled as she looked at Long Ming with an aggrieved expression.


    Long Ming understood that Mu Qinglian wasn''t actually angry with him. She was just pained and disappointed that the sect was going to face such trouble because of her.


    " Senior Sister, Don''t worry about this. Just like all previous troubles, we would also cross this."


    " But¡­I just feel¡­Only if I was stronger¡­Only if." Mu Qinglian was in secluded cultivation before Ming Yuexin informed her of the news. When she heard it, she was filled with anger, shock, and pain.


    " Senior Sister, This is not your fault." Long Ming spoke in a deep voice. " You are merely a catalyst, which simply sped up what was supposed to happen."


    " Sky Martial Tower long has been eyeing on Four Seasons Valley. All you gave them is a reason to attack."


    "So, rather than breaking up like this, why not strengthen yourself, Senior Sister?" Long Ming looked at her. " Do you want to brood over fate or do you want to gather your anger and unleash on your enemies?"


    Mu Qinglian remained silent for a moment before rubbing her eyes and adjusting her face,


    " Haaah¡­I was just a bit¡­Emotional about everything happening right now." She sighed as her eyes shed with a cold glint.


    " But you are right. It''s not my fault. I would rather answer them with my sword than my tears."


    " Thank you, Long Ming, for lifting my mood." Turning around, Mu Qinglian looked at the horizon. " I just realized that even after so many months¡­I never confessed my true feelings to you."


    " A part of me was unwilling to show my vulnerability, another part was jealous of seeing you with other women." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " And a part was possessive¡­Because you supposed to be mine¡­mine only."


    " But the truth is, I like you."


    Long Minh''s expression became odd when he heard that.


    " Huh?"

 Chapter 264 Grinding Credits

    Chapter 264 Grinding Credits


    Long Ming and Mu Qinglian stared at each other with silence. Long Ming knew that Mu Qinglian liked him.


    But he never expected the tsundere to admit it so outright.


    " Senior Sister, Are you¡­Do you know what you are saying?" Long Ming asked after a moment of silence.


    " I¡­I understand. But¡­This is the truth." Mu Qinglian replied. " And the reason is something you would understand as well."


    " I didn''t believe it at first. But I guess it was truly a fate when both of us met each other near that waterfall." Mu Qinglian sighed.


    However, as he was going to say something else, a jade token appeared before her as it shone lightly.


    " This¡­Master is summoning me. I have to go." Annoyance clearly showed on Mu Qinglian''s face. However, she nodded and got ready to leave.


    " Senior Sister, Don''t worry much." Long Ming smiled. " After all, we have a lifetime to talk leisurely."


    Hearing that, Mu Qinglian''s face couldn''t help but have a gloss of pink. " I¡­ I will be right back after talking with Master."


    Saying that, Mu Qinglian turned and left, leaving Long Ming alone in the Solitary Flower Peak.


    " Our meeting was fate?"


    After cultivating for so long, Long Ming finally had some vague memory of getting reduced by Mu Qinglian when he fell into the immortal world.


    However, how Mu Qinglian thinks it wasn''t a coincidence is something only she knows.


    "Nevermind, I have more important things to do right now. The attack will happen in four days. I should do my best toplete Daily Quests along with Challenges to amass Credit Points as much as possible."


    Currently, He has 25,500 Credits and he already reached halfway to purchase the Sky Lightning Crown which costs 50,000 Credits. However, he also has only had a few more days of Prodigal Young Master System remaining.


    His only hopes are Challenges which gives arge amount of Credits at once.


    '' I guess I should make a trip to the Holy Qilin City. Let''s see what are the things I won''t be able to buy with money.''


    .


    .


    . N?v(el)B\\jnn


    .


    Two dayster, Long Ming already earned 20,000 Credits more. However, the Challenge quest suddenly went nk, saying it would be back ''soon.''


    These days, He stayed in the Holy Qilin City and did his best to sell his items for other treasures. Especially the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, whose manager himself is now treating Long Ming as his own father.


    " I believe the items I wanted are already ready?" Long Ming took a sip of tea as he looked at the fat uncle in front of him.


    " Young Master Long, You know you gave us very little day for it." Luo Ergong rubbed his palm as he looked at Long Ming.


    " With your smile, I believe youpleted this hard task?"


    " Hehe, Young Master is wise. It was difficult, but the amount of treasure you gave was enough. With our hard work and determination, we managed to barely finish it in time." Although looking sloppy andic, Long Ming knew this Luo Ergou''s status in this entire Holy Qilin Dynasty wasn''t low at all.


    He is the one who is managing all the Hundred Treasure Pavilions of the Holy Qilin Dynasty, having a cultivation base of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm.


    " Then, How about the information regarding Sky Martial Tower?" Long Ming looked at him with some interest.


    " We have some new information, along with the other rumors and possibilities. I have recorded everything in this jade tablet." Luo Ergou handed him that.


    " Hehe, Manger Luo is sure meticulous. I hope you enjoy the spectacle which is going to unfold in few days." Long Ming smiled at him.


    Of course, there was a hidden meaning behind his words. He is asking the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to stay neutral and not join any sides at all.


    " Young Master can rest assured. I am not someone who would break my promise." Luo Erguo chuckled.


    " Very well, Then I shall leave. If fate allows, we shall meet again."


    When Long Ming left, Luo Ergou''s smile vanished as his expression became enigmatic.


    " Impressive. If not seeing with my own eyes, I would have never believed Four Seasons Valley has so many precious resources. That young man gave me a profit of almost twenty years in just two days."


    " Hehe, Sky Martial Tower¡­It seems they are going to fall into deep trouble."


    As Long Ming came out, he looked at his token and saw it was shining. Without thinking much, he vanished from his spot. As he appeared outside of the Holy Qilin City, he saw a giant carriage streaking across the sky, pulled by two crimson birds.


    Without hesitation, Long Ming charged towards it. Opening the door, he entered the carriage without any scruple.


    " How bold! You dare you to enter the carriage of a princess without any manners?" Jiang Wanxue snorted lightly when she saw Long Ming inside.


    " Hmph, You expect me to show manners when you didn''t replied to my messages for two whole days?"


    " I understand your anger. However, me and Brother Yong are under strict watch. Besides, we can''t help you in the battle between Sky Martial Tower and Four Seasons Valley."


    " Is Imperial Family not participating? Or it''s just us who aren''t favored by the Imperial Family?" Long Ming raised his brows. Because he was sure that the First Prince or some others of the Imperial Family would support Sky Martial Tower.


    " Officially, None of us can. However, It''s an excellent chance to draw out Qin Zhen''s hidden forces to spotlight." Jiang Wanxue replied.


    " You think I will allow you to make Four Seasons Valley a scapegoat?" Long Ming''s eyes turned cold.


    " Listen, Long Ming, We have reached a crucial stage. Imperial Family is eyeing both Sky Martial Tower and Four Seasons Valley. So, if elder brother moves his forces to help Four Seasons Valley, he will get at a disadvantage."


    " Then how about this¡­If Sky Martial Tower fails¡­I believe Prince Yong would be able to move forces to attack Sky Martial Tower, while their main forces would be away?"


    " Why not use Eastern Sky Sect? I believe your dear Sister in Law also owes me some favors?" Long Ming looked at Jiang Wanxue, waiting for an answer.


    " This¡­This is possible." Jiang Wanxue replied after thinking for a few moments. " But it''s only possible when Sky Martial Tower receives a crushing defeat."


    " You don''t need to worry about that." Long Ming said coolly. " As long as you can attack the weakened Sky Martial Tower, it would be counted as a help."


    " I will see and inform you." Jiang Wanxue nodded as she agreed to that proposal. Of course, if the Imperial Family had the chance to uproot the Sky Martial Sect, they would do it eagerly. However, unless the situation bes clear, they will remain hiding in the dark.


    " However, You need to be careful. Since Sky Martial Tower already made such a decision, it means they are confident enough in themselves." Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming.


    " What about Four Seasons Valley?"


    " You don''t need to worry about us. We shall see whateveres." Long Ming smiled mysteriously.


    But before Jiang Wanxue could react, Long Ming''s body moves, pressing her against the soft cushion.


    " Wh-What are you doing? Let me go!"


    Jiang Wanxue struggled, but Long Ming kept her in her ce. " Well, The Second Prince''s faction isn''t as useful as I thought they would be."


    " So, Should I not receive somepensation?" Long Ming gave a devilish grin, making Jiang Wanxue rmed.


    " Wh-What do you mean?" " Well, I mean what I mean."


    " Mmnnphff!~"


    Jiang Wanxue couldn''t protest as Long Ming sealed her lips with a passionate kiss. His hands moved like a serpent, taking off her clothes swiftly.


    " Ask yourdy protector to drive the carriage back to Holy Qilin City." Long Ming spoke in a deep voice.


    " Yo-You!!"


    Jiang Wanxue bit her lips, but she didn''t protest anymore. " Lan, Take us back to my pce."


    " Yes, Mydy."


    As the carriage started to move again, Long Ming took off his clothes and joined Jiang Wanxue on the sofa.


    " Damn it! Don''t! Not there! Ahnn!~"


    *After one round*


    " Haah¡­Long Ming, You think...You can just use me¡­"


    *After second round!*


    "Nnghhh!~ You¡­You brute! I am not¡­enjoying this¡­at all¡­"


    " Mmn~ Are you...finished?"


    *After the fourth round*


    " Long Ming¡­I am¡­Tired¡­Let me go."


    Jiang Wanxue lying on Long Ming''s chest, her breathing was soft, with her body still quivering from after effect of the intense passion.


    " Just remember, Princess. Our partnership is based on equal grounds." Long Ming caressed her soft back as he smiled.


    " No matter what, I will extract the right amount from you. So, Don''t try to trick me, ok?"


    20:08


    " Alright¡­Alright." Jiang Wanxue raised her head as she looked at Long Ming with her limpid eyes.


    " I am¡­Just sorry that we can''t help you this time. However¡­Don''t worry. Elder brother will¡­ definitelypensate you."


    " He better do."


    Long Ming mumbled as he looked at his system. His eyes shone as he saw a new Challenge Quest appearing.


    " Oh, This one¡­looks very interesting."

 Chapter 265 The War Begins

    <h4>Chapter 265 The War Begins</h4>


    It didn''t take long before news of Sky Martial Tower''s marriage proposal to Four Seasons Valley spread around Holy Qilin City like wildfire.


    " No way! You think Four Seasons Valley would agree to this?"


    " If they don''t agree, Sky Martial Tower would definitely dere war on Four Seasons Valley."


    " Hmph, Do you understand how powerful Sky Martial Tower is? The current Four Seasons Valley is still pales before them."


    " Quite the opposite. I believe Four Seasons Valley has been hiding themselves quite well."


    " Otherwise, you think they could have fostered so many geniuses like Long Ming or Mu Qinglian?"


    " Both as Imperial Linages. Hehe, If a war does break out, it will effect the entire Holy Qilin Empire''s power dynamics."


    All the sects were doing their own preparations for the unknown future. After all, a fight like that could easily cause hundreds of rippling effects.


    Soon, The day arrived as the Grand Sky City saw a fleet of flying treasure boats across the sky. Everyone could feel the air getting thick with tension and apprehension, the calm before the storm.


    Sky Martial Tower is the leading powerhouse within the Holy Qilin Empire while Four Seasons Valley is an ancient Imperial Lineage with the inheritance of three Heavenly Emperors.


    Eight thousand years ago, They fought once and Four Seasons Valley got defeated by Sky Martial Tower, robbing them of their various resources.


    This time, one side will try to maintain its dominance while the other one will try to get the old revenge.


    No matter what, it''s confirmed that this time, the battle going to be much more bloodier and devastating than before. And it shall continue till one of them perishes.


    As the ancient boats arrived before the valley of Four Seasons Valley, a ray of light erupted, creating a vast shield across the entire sect.


    " Hmph, I don''t think there are supposed to be any guests today." Xia Yuiqng''s voice echoed as she stood in the sky, with her clothes flowing gently with the wind.


    " Heh, I don''t think our sect needs any permission toe here." With a mocking voice, a middle aged man appeared.


    The moment he stepped into the empty space, the clouds churned in the sky as a violent burst of aura erupted.


    " Shen Liang, You are still arrogant as ever. You think you can suppress me with just your cultivation aura?"


    Xia Yuqing looked at the sect master of Sky Martial Tower with utter disdain.


    " Before you start any bullshit, I shall give you a piece of word. Our Four Seasons Valley won''t agree to any of your demand. So, give up."


    " Oh, I guess we are saving time here, huh?" Shen Liang sneered as he roared. " You think our Sky Martial Tower would remain silent after you ruined our two Saint Childs?"


    " Hmph, You even harmed our Blissful Heaven Temple, Xia Yuqing. Don''t even think of running today."


    " Oh, Is that Li Shumei?" Xia Yuqing chortled. " I guess someone is finally here to admit that Blissful Heaven Temple is trashpared to Four Seasons Valley."


    " Hmph, Your mouth still stinks as always, Yunqing." Li Shumei snorted. " Laugh as much as you want. After today, Four Seasons Valley won''t exist."


    " Bold words, Bitch."


    Meng Zhi appeared beside Xia Yuqiong, leading arge group of disciples and elders. They all stood behind Xia Yuqing, giving cold looks to their enemies.


    " Haha, Very well, I guess everyone here is eager to die." Shen Liang snorted as he waved his hands.


    " Raze down Four Seasons Valley."


    From the flying boats, thousands of disciples of Sky Martial Tower and Blissful Heaven Temple appeared, all charging towards the Four Seasons Valley.


    Xia Yuqing took a step forward as she three elders blocked her path.


    " Hehe, Sect Master Xia, Why don''t you take a step back?" One of them grinned.


    " If you agree our terms, give us ? of your resources and Long Ming along with Mu Qinglian¡­"


    Suddenly, blood sttered as the three elders before Xia Yuqing turned into meat slices, with their primordial souls getting severed by a sharp light.


    " Damn it! Xia Yuqing you bitch!"


    Shen Liang''s expression changed as he saw Xia Yuqing holding an ancient sword.


    " I guess you all didn''t hear me. I said we won''t be having any negotiations today." Xia Yuqing spoke lightly as she threw the ancient sword to Meng Zhi.


    " Hehe, I am finally using a True Imperial Weapon." Meng Zhi grinned as she caressed the sword.


    " Li Shumei, You little bitch. I long wanted to kill you." Meng Zhi pursed her lips as she looked at Li Shumei.


    " Hmph! Bold words! Let''s see who is going to kill whom."


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    " Sisters! Charge and kill these bastards who are trying to destroy our sect!" Ming Yuexin held a bright silver sword as she let out a battle cry.


    Following that, the Four Seasons Valley disciple engaged with their oppornents.


    " Four Seasons Grand Swordsy! Scorching Summer!"


    mes soared across the sky, the clouds into busts of mes. Swirling around Xia Yuqing, they shot towards the elders of Sky Martial Tower.


    " Hmph!"


    Shen Lan snorted as he vanished from his spot. With a bright radiance, a giant figure rose behind her, swinging four arms at once.


    The mes collided with the palms, making the space around them tremble violently.


    The scorching summer wind suddenly turned into a violent gale storm, threatening to swallow the entire area. The wind was sharp as ancient treasure swords, slicing apart the surrounding disciples like a meat grinder.


    With squinted eyes, Shen Liang pulled out a spear and made a thrusting movement. The radiance around him bent as a burst of terrifying spear intent shot out, piercing the gale storm.


    However, Xia Yuqing''s figure simply waved her hands as the spear qi suddenly froze in the mid air, shattering in the end.


    " Four Seasons Great Domain!"


    The world rumbled as four colored radiance shone appeared around Xia Yuqing like a pir of light, enveloping his surroundings like a giant canopy.


    " Sky Martial Great Domain!"


    Shen Liang didn''t hesitate as he also released his domain. His domain was condensed with illusory figures of mighty warriors, each carrying a differing weapon.


    All of them strode the sky and tried to attackXia Yuqing. However, it wasn''t that simple at all.


    The four colored radiance parted the sky above her into four images of four seasons. As the illusory soldiers appeared, scorching meteors swirling wind fell towards them.


    With swings of their weapons, they tried to deflect the attacks. However, many of them were got destroyed by the scorching meteors.


    Suddenly, the ground trembled as it split apart, making the undergroundve seep out from it. The sky changed the weather as it became cloudy, with terrifying wind and blizzard appearing one after another.


    " Taste this new hell of fire and ice." Xia Yuqing raised her arm and punched out, making the blizzard of ice and fire shot toward Shen Liang."


    Meanwhile, a dark sword intent rose as darkness surrounded the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple. Before they could understand anything, they got ughtered in an instance.


    " Meng Zhi you bitch! Cease your attack!"


    " Stop me yourself, Li Shumei!"


    Meng Zhiughed loudly as she raised the ancient sword. The ancient sword emitted a hum, making Li Shumei step back instinctively.


    However, Her expression changed as she felt a shadow materializing behind him, and stabbing her back.


    Li Shumei''s figure turned illusory as it was reced by a painting scroll. However, The ink ck sword moved, ripping the scroll to pieces.


    " Damn it! If not for that True Imperial Weapon!" Li Shumei cursed as she pulled out a beautiful feather fan.


    " Take this! Blissful Demon Storm!"


    " Dark Moon sh!"


    The ancient sword turned into a jet of ck ink as it danced on themand of Meng Zhi, shooting towards Li Shumei with unparalleled speed.


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    The feather fan in Li Shumei''s hand was a Blessed Imperial treasure. However, with Meng Zhi''s True Imperial Weapon, it fell short.


    With a single wave, the ancient sword multiplied by a hundred as they turned into a shower of ink ck rays, filling the sky. It was a mass attack.


    However, changing the directions of the attack, Meng Zhi attacked the elders of the Blissful Heaven Temple.


    " NOOO!"


    Li Shumei rushed to Meng Zhi, trying to stop her. But with aughter, Meng Zhi vanished from her position.


    The agonizing cries of elders and disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple erupted as their bodies got cleaved by the ink ck sword light.


    " Li Shumei, You have been suppressing my Four Seasons Valley for so long. Not to mention, You are the bitch rtive of that Hei Yun." Meng Zhi grinned.


    Hearing that name, Li Shumei''s expression changed. " Ho-How di you know? Who are you?"


    " Hmph, No need to talk anymore."


    The ancient sword intent turned pitch ck along with Meng Zhi''s pupils.


    " Great Yin Evil Moon Sword Path! Fading Moon sh!"


    The battlefield darkened as a pitch ck sword intent turned into a dark streak of lightning, shootomg towards Li Shumei.

 Chapter 266 No One Can Look At Us Other Than Senior Brother

    266 No One Can Look At Us Other Than Senior Brother


    Suddenly, the dark light gleamed across the sky as an illusory moon appeared in the sky, making everyone suppressed beneath it.


    " Imperial power! That''s Imperial Power!"


    Liu Shumei wailed as she saw the moon with a horrified expression. Wielding a True Imperial Treasure is something even Dao Refining Realm elders would find difficult unless they possess a corresponding technique and resonance with the treasure itself.


    Blissful Heaven Temple doesn''t have any luxury of having Imperial Weapons. But Liu Shumei used all her power to get a blessed Imperial Weapon which was the feathered fan.


    However, the problem with the Blessed Imperial Weapons is one can only use their power a few times before the power vanishes inside them.


    Not to mention, after the imperial aura vanished, the weapons broke most of the time. Liu Shumei already used the feathered fan to deflect a few of Meng Zhi''s attacks. However now, looking at it, its color already faded, making it look like some feather fan from a street stall.


    Meng Zhi''s long, jet ck hair flowed like ink around her as her pupils turned darker than the night itself. The sword in her hand pulsed with an imperial aura, striking fear in Liu Shumei''s heart and everyone else''s.


    Suddenly, Five women gathered around Liu Shumei as they looked at Meng Zhi warily. " Sect Master! Stay in formation and try your best to resist her! We can''t go against a True Imperial Weapon!"


    " Alright, Pull out all of your treasures and kill her!" Liu Shumei shouted as she pulled out a shortsword, with various wisps of demonic smokeing out of it.


    " Hmph, One against five? How amusing." Meng Zhi chuckled as she stretched her body seductively. " After my little brother Long cured me, I made great progress in my cultivation. I wonder how powerful I have be?"


    Laughingly, she wielded the True Imperial sword and jumped towards them.


    Because she knew, she would be winning today.


    .


    .


    .


    " Look! The entrance is opening!"


    " She did the work! Hurry up and charge towards the Northen Gate!"


    Green Cloud Mountain and a part of Sky Martial Tower who hid themselves attacked the Four Seasons Valley''s northern gate. " Once we enter inside, we can attack Four Seasons Valley from inside."


    " Hehe, There are many girls who didn''t go out to battle. Maybe we can¡­"


    " Our priority would be the treasury and medicinal herbs storage. Just grab whatever you get!"


    Greed, lust, and the will to conquer shed in the eyes of the disciples of Green Cloud Mountain and Sky Martial Sect as they walked inside the Northen Gate.


    Not to mention, many of the sect elders were there to protect them. So, none of them had any fear.


    Soon, they marched inside and reached the city za. However, their expressions changed when they saw the disciples of Four Seasons Valley standing before them, each of them wearing soft leather armor which was shimmering with runic lights.


    " Hmph, Look at this. I guess the girls of Four Seasons Valley standing here to greet us."


    " Tsk, Why don''t you all surrender? Here, all the brothers would take care of you."


    " All Sisters, Prepare for the battle. Let these dogs die a dog''s death." Lin Xie walked forward as she raised her longsword.


    " Hehe, I have been waiting for this, Sister Lin." Chen Yin also pulled out her sword, which swirled with the power of the wind.


    " Royal grade weapons?"


    Greeds shed in everyone''s eyes when they saw the two weapons. If they could get their hands on the swords, they would be invincible among their peer.


    " Don''t you think only you have Royal grade weapon here!"


    " Since you guys aren''t willing to back down, we can only kill you!"


    The core disciples of Green Cloud Mountain and Sky Martial Tower walked forward as they also pulled out their Royal grade weapons. After all, all the sect here did their best to arm their disciples with best weapon.


    " Attack!"


    " Charge!"


    Chen Yin vanished from her spot as she appeared before a core disciples. Her sword vanished as it turned into a terrifying whirlwind.


    The sharp arcs of wind moved like des as they shed toward the core disciples. Meanwhile, a frozen path appeared before Lin Xie''s sword, freezing anyone who touched it. The frozen disciple shattered, making bloody cubes of ice and flesh. " Die!!"


    Several disciples surrounded Lin Xie, however she didn''t fear. Her sword moved as an icy ray of light burst out. Sharp icicles circled around her as they turned intp sharp frozen swords. With her main swords, all five more swords streaked across the air, fighting with everyone who tried to encircle her.


    " Frozen Intent!"


    The icy swords exploded with cold energy merged with sword qi. With puffing sounds, they pierced the chest of the disciples, killing them instantly. The other disciples also did their best as they swung their weapons and used their battle techniques to kill their enemies. As time passed, the disciples of Green Cloud Mountain and Sky Martial Tower realized something was wrong.


    " What the hell?! Why can''t we damage the Four Seasons Valley disciples?!"


    " Holy! Look at what they are wearing?! Xuan Grade Armors! All of them are wearing Xuan grade and Earth grade armor!"


    " Not to mention, they are drinking something amidst the battle, healing them instantly!"


    " What sort of healing liquid is that?!"


    The disciples became rmed as they looked around frantically, trying to seek the help of their seniors and elders.


    " Huh? Where did the elders go?"


    " Elder Xuan?! Help me!"


    " Help me! ARRGH!"


    The girls of Four Seasons Valley burn with the desire to kill. Lin Xie raised her arm and drank an emerald fluid. Her face flushed with crimson as her steps staggered as if she had gotten drunk.


    Not only she, but most disciples of Four Seasons Valley appeared to be like that.


    " You motherfuckers! You dare toy your filthy eyes on us?!"


    " Sisters! Some other men trying to look at us other than our Senior Brother!"


    " Should we tolerate it?!"


    " No! No!"


    " Kill them!"


    " Gouge out their eyes!"


    " Caststrate! Cut their dicks!"


    The disciples of Green Cloud Mountain and Sky Martial Tower''s back chilled when they heard the high pitch screams of Four Seasons Valley girls, making them step back. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " What''s wrong with them!"


    " Fellow Sisters, Girls shouldn''t be so aggressive!"


    " Holy! Run away! You can''t win!"


    Unfortunately, their escape route was already cut off, forcing them to face the onught of Four Seasons Valley''s disciples.


    " Charge! And kill them all!"


    .


    .


    " Damn it! What sort of space is this?!"


    " We can''t escape!"


    Almost a dozen elders and a few powerful disciples looked around frantically for a way to escape.


    But all they could see was the wall of ck smoke blocking their exit.


    *ROAAR! ROARR!*


    Countless demonic beasts materialized as they charged towards them. The baleful aura of the demonic beasts soared to the sky, making the trapped disciples suffocate.


    " Hmph! Mere beasts dare to brandish your fangs towards us?!" One of the elders waved his hands, killing a dozen or so beasts at once.


    However, more and more came after them, and their strength also increased tremendously!


    " Damn it! Don''t engage with them! This is an Illusion Array Formation!"


    One of them realized something was amiss in the infinite flood of demonic beasts as he shouted.


    However in that instant, one of the disciples got dragged by the demonic beast and mauled by it.


    " Damn it! What sort of Illusion Formation this is?!"


    " This is a Killing Formation!"


    " Hurry up and look for a way to break the formation!"


    Suddenly, a figure materialized in the air, looking down on them with cold gaze.


    " Bold of you toe here and attack my Four Seasons Valley. You think we will simply let you pass?"


    " Mu Qinin!"


    " You bitch! Hurry up and let us go!"


    " Letting you go, Huh?" Mu Qinglian''s lips curled into a cold smile as his body covered with sacred mes of blood red color.


    " Coming and going as you please, My Four Seasons Valley isn''t an inn!"


    " Since you havee here, Better pray that I leave your corpses intact!"


    " Blood Phoenix Sacred Body! Blood Sword Sr Storm!"


    Crimson zing swords materialized before Mu Qinglian as they looked like pirs of mes soaring to the sky. All of them turned towards the elders as they shot towards them.


    " Damn it! My power is being suppressed here!"


    " Break free from this damned formation first!"


    " Not good! Mu Qinglian is more powerful here!"


    Although there are few cultivators whose strength reached Peak stage of the Harmonization Realm, due to the restriction of the Thousand Illusory Demon Formation, their strength was sealed partially.


    Along with Mu Qinglian''s overwhelming Minor Completion Imperial Physique, she alone became capable of fighting against all of them.


    '' He is really meticulous. He knew which way the disciples of Sky Martial Tower were going toe. So, he moved the array formation to North Gate, trapping the most powerful elders here while letting our disciples kill their disciples.''


    Mu Qinglian took a deep breath as the air around her sizzled with blood red mes.


    " Now watch me, Long Ming."


    Saying that she curled her fist and dove toward the elders like an eagle diving toward a flock of sheep.


    The next moment, she killed two weaker elders with her fist alone, punching them and exploding their bodies to pieces.

 Chapter 267 Clash Of Imperial Weapons! Arrival of Ancestors

    267 sh Of Imperial Weapons! Arrival of Ancestors


    Shen Liang''s expression darkened when the Blessed Imperial Weapon in his hand turned into a scrap metal. Without any hesitation, he threw it away, bringing another one.


    Xia Yuqing did the same as she pulled out a portrait.


    Suddenly, a pale blue light covered the sky as an illusory figure drifted out from the scroll. The blue robe was like flowing cial water, hugging that beautifuldy''s skin.


    The crown was like made up from million year old Yin Ice crystals, but they couldn''t bepared with the resplendent eyes of that woman.


    Shen Liang''s pupil shrank when he saw that figure. Gritting his teeth, he also pulled out a ck crystal box.


    " Hmph! This is just a fragment of the power of Heavenly Empress Winter Song! You think you can defeat me with this?" " How would we know if I don''t try?"


    Xia Yuqing snorted as she hurriedly backed away, followed by three elders of Sky Martial Tower of Nine Transformations of Soul Realm.


    All three of them had Blessed Imperial Treasures, trying to fend off the apparition of Heavenly Empress Winter Song.


    The ck crystal box in Shen Liang''s hand opened, spewing out a golden radiance.


    A gigantic figure holding a heavenly spear appeared before the Empress Winter Song, looking at her with cold gaze.


    The spear in his hand trembled, as if it was a living dragon. He was none other than the Skyward Spear Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor Sky Martial Sect produced.


    Coupled with other blessed treasures of his, The five pirs of light sealed the figure of Empress Winter Song.


    With a single flick of her hand, boundless cold energy shot toward a blessed weapon, shattering it into pieces. However, in retaliation, The Skyward Spear Emperor''s spear shot towards Empress Winter Song.


    Creating a frozen mountain before her, She blocked the attack. However, the attacks of other blessed treasuresnded on her, making her figure a bit more faded.


    " That''s it! Keep attacking her! Even if it''s a True Imperial Treasure, the Empress''s figure won''tst long!" Shen Liang shouted.


    All the elders holding the blessed Imperial treasures as the elite among the elites of the Sky Martial Tower.


    Although a single Blessed Imperial Treasure costs an astronomical amount, Shen Liang is willing to spend it to conquer the Four Seasons Valley.


    " Hmph! You think our Four Seasons Valley is poor or what?"


    A voice echoed as a figure materialized before Xia Yuqing as mes surged upwards.


    The spear of the Skyward Spear Emperor got flung away as the mes condensed into another figure, standing beside the Empress Winter Song.


    " What?! Another True Imperial Weapon?"


    Shen Liang''s face contorted when he saw the ming wheel in Wu Liang''s hands. It condensed into the figure of the Empress Crimson Sky.


    The ze of me was incredible, instantly killing the nearby disciples of Sky Martial Tower, turning them into ashes. " Damn it! How could they possess so many Imperial weapons! Weren''t they got exhausted in the previous war?!" Shen Liang shouted.


    " Hmph, Shen Liang, You were far too arrogant. You think this bit of strength can destroy my Four Seasons Valley?"


    Wu Liang took a step forward as mes bloomed around her like flowers. Impression Crimson Sky raised her hands as pirs of mes descended from the sky.


    The elders holding Skyward Spear Emperor''s blessed treasures got sted away as they used their techniques to block the ming pirs. Their treasures were already expended in pushing back Empress Winter Song. Therefore, unable to handle the pirs of mes, the treasures shattered instantly.


    Now, Skyward Spear Emperor''s true apparition faced against both empresses. Shen Liang bit his tongue and dripped some blood on the ck crystal box.


    His energy soared like a tidal wave, pouring into the box to empower the figure of the emperor.


    " Great Emperor! Crush your enemies and bring forth the victory!"


    " Skyward Spear Strike!"


    The figure of Skyward Spear Emperor moved as his spear shone with a baleful light. When he distanced himself, it was like the space itself was getting stretched.


    " Hahhh!"


    " Glory to the Great Emperor!"


    The other elders also imitated Shen Liang and poured their true blood into the ck crystal box.


    " Azure Snow Sword Storm!"


    "Sr me Wheel Cut!"


    Xia Yuqing and Wu Liang worked simultaenousely as they used their treasures to execute the attacks of empress at the same time.


    Empress Winter Song''s figure moved as her sword streaked with an azure ray, with the space freezing along with its path. Empress Crimson Sky''s wheel also spun with crimson mes, making it look like setting sun in the horizon.


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    The sh of imperial energy soared across the sky, destroying anything in their vincity.


    Xia Yuqing and Shen Liang got blew back along with others due to the sheer impact. The figure of Skyward Spear Emperor dimmed as there was apparent damage on his projection.


    Meanwhile, Empress Winter Song looked paler than before, but Empress Crimson Sky kept supporting her,.


    " Haha¡­Hahaha!"


    Shen Liang lowered his head as heughed loudly.


    " Good! Good! So Four Seasons Valley still hiding a lot of cards, huh?"


    " Very well! Let''s see how you are going to survive this."


    The elders of Sky Martial Tower understood Shen Liang''s message and they came into a circle, each taking out a purple crystal of the size of a human''s head.


    Wu Liang''s expression changed when she saw that. " Not good! They are setting up a teleportation formation!"


    " We can''t let them do that!"


    The figure of the both empress moved as thet tried to attack Shen Liang and others.


    But the figure of the Skyward Spear Emperor appeared as his body shone with a final radiance. It was using all it''s energy to stop the fragments of Empress Winter Song and Crimson Sky.


    *SWISH! SWISH!*


    Empress Crimson Sky''s wheel turned into several wheels as they rained like ming meteorites on the figure of the emperor. However, strangely, some of them changed their trajectory and bypassed the figure of the emperor.


    *PLUFF! PLUFF!*


    Out of five Nine Transformation of Souls Realm Elder, three of them bust into bloody shower. As their blood hit the air, iit sizzled before turning into smoke.


    Shen Liang roared as he pushed the formation with his own power. The crystals in his hand shone with a bliding radiance as the light tore through the space, creating an unstable portal.


    " Ancestors! Help us!"


    " Hmph! To think you would be so ipetent, Shen Liang."


    An ancient voice echoed as a giant crystal drifted out from the portal. Along with it came ady, who was old like a mummy. The crystal shattered as pale, withered hand appeared. With a single swing, it dispersed the energy remaining energy of Skyward Emperor, condensing the energy intoa heavely spear and shoot it towards the both empress.


    Empowered with the power of the withered palm, the spear turned into a streak of heavenly light, daring to pierce anything in its path. Both empresses'' figure got engulfed by the spear light.


    With a loud explosion, a vortex of space appeared and everything disappeared. Xia Yuqing''s eyes narrowed as she looked at the withered hand.


    The olddy moved as she appeared before Xia Yuqing like a ghost. Her palms were like the withered ws of a bone dragon, epassed with boundless killing intent.


    Both Wu Liang and Xia Yuqing were rmed when they felt the attack couldn''t be avoided at all. Because the old hag before them already reached the Dao Refining Realm.


    *ONNNNGHHHHH!*


    Layers afteryers of golden shields appeared before both of them, creating a radiant, golden canopy of protection. However, they were simply like paper pieces before the w of the old hag.


    However, the old hag''s expression changed as her fist finally slowed down after crossing a few hundredyers of thin shields. The few seconds gave both Wu Liang and Xia Yuqing a second life, making them dodge the attack. Holding Xia Yuqing''s hands, Wu Liang teleported across the space and appeared a few hundred meters away. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " What? How many Noble grade Golden Canopy Talismans do you have?" The old hag was stunned as she realized what just happened.


    A single talisman was nothing before her, and so did a dozen, a hundred talismans. But after that?


    Even enough stacking of paper can stop an arrow. Just like that, the few hundred Golden Canopy Talisman slowed her attack, giving Xia Yuqing and Wu Liang the chance to escape.


    " Li Rung, You bitch! You dare to harm our Four Seasons Valley!"


    \


    Suddenly, a giant palm crossed the heaven, painted with the paintings depicting four seasons. The palm descended, swatting the old hag away.


    " Bai He! You aren''t dead yet!"


    The old hag yelled as she realized the owner of the voice. However, when the old hag looked at the figure of Elder Bai He, she couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Because a beautiful middle aged beauty stood in the sky, gazing coldly at the old hag.


    " This bitch! Why does she looks so young!"

 Chapter 268 Long Ming Plays The Final Card

    <h4>Chapter 268 Long Ming ys The Final Card</h4>


    White robe fluttered like gentle wings, with red dots on them were like the beautiful eyes of the crane, gazing at the old hag. A jade flute appeared in her hand as she spun it skillfully.


    " Hah, look at you. It pleases me so much to see you like this, Old bitch Li. Bai He giggled as she looked at Li Rung.


    " Yo-You! You must be burning your true blood! Yes, That has to be!"


    " Aw, Someone is jealous seeing their rival young and beautiful, huh?"


    Suddenly, cing the flute on her lips, Bai He started to gently y it. Suddenly, A gentle wave of wind from south blew, carrying the fragrance of myriads of fresh flowers.


    The field bloomed as the weather turned sunny. Giant tendrils of green vine adorned with flowers erupted from the ground, shooting towards Li Rung like monstrous arms.


    The green vines were as thick asrge buildings, covering the earth and sky with their power. Li Rung raged as she took out a pair of withered human arms.


    " Blissful Demonic Art! Six Desires Decay!"


    " Symphony of Heavenly Springs!"


    The bone arms turned into gigantic ck skeletal arms as they sliced the vines like razor sharp ws. However, in the ce where the vine severed, two more vines appeared from it, with same size and power.


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    The earth was overturned as the disciples of both forces hurriedly retreated. The vines rolled on the ground, killing a few disciples under it.


    They jerked like snakes, wrapping around the pair of ck skeletal arms.


    With another blow in her flute, Bai He''s figure turned like an illusion as she vanished, merging with the sprouts of vines itself.


    An ethereal figure of Bai He appeared, towering like a heavly giant made up of wood, earth, and flowers. She raised her hands and summoned the vitality of thend, mming it down on Li Rung.


    " Impossible!!"


    Li Rung raged as she tried to use her skeletal arms once again. However, the vines grappling it tightened once again, making faint cracks appear on it.


    The arms were like ghostly scyth, slicing more and more of the vines. However, the vines also grow back like grass after the spring rain, making it seem impossible to defeat.


    " Bitch! How could you yield such power for so long? You should have died by now!"


    " Hehe, Old Bitch Li, You think I am like you? Preserving my true blood and slumbering to see the next generation?" Bai He snorted.


    " I have already restored by vitality and can easily live another five hundred years without slumbering. But what about you, Old bitch?"


    " I guess you would be dying now."


    Li Rung was unwilling when she saw the mockingughter of Bai He. She was the dignified ancestor of Blissful Heaven Temple, and a Dao Refining Realm Cultivator.


    Thousands of years ago, she couldn''t move beyond that level, yet her vitality wasn''t endless. Therefore, she sealed herself on the Divine Slumber Stone like other old ghosts, bidding her time to get something to prolong her lifespan.


    However, such things could be only obtained by heavenly fate, and Li Rung had none.


    '' This bitch Li Shumei! I thought I could easily live another few centuries and try to break through the next stage.''


    '' But since Shen Lang summoned that old bastard, I had to alsoe.''


    She already had an ominous feeling when she saw Bai He in her young self. One need to continuously use their vitality and energy to maintain youth. For those old dying beings, they couldn''t afford such luxuries.


    But seeing Bai He acting like this. Li Run believed her words.


    '' She already reached Half step of the Dao Refinement Realm. Not to mention, she seems to got her hands on some longevity medicine! Fuck! Why didn''t I get this?!"


    " Hehe, I remember the previous time you attacked. This time, you aren''t going to walk out alive."


    " Burial of Endless Spring!"


    The jade flute in Bai He''s hand turned into dust as her gigantic figure moved forward. Vines became more vital and robust as they finally shattered the pair of skeletal arms, making Li Rong cough a mouthful of blood.


    Then, vines wrapped around the ankle of Li Rong, and they started to sap her vitality.


    Li Rung''s expression changed as she tried to teleport. However, the vines ripped the void apart, dragging out Li Rung.


    " Yo-You! You trapped me!"


    " Sounds like a dumb realization."


    " Suo Tian, Why are you sitting there silently! Help me you bastard!"


    Suddenly, Bai He felt an ominous feeling as she saw a twinkling light from far


    A heavenly spear tore though the sky, making the space rip like paper. The heaven and earth trembled before its might.


    Those who looked at it felt like their body melting under it''s aura.


    *PLOP!PLOP!PLOP! PLOP!*


    Disciples and elders of both factions fell on their knees when the spear appeared. Even Xia Yuqing and Wu Liang hurriedly retreated back.


    " Strengthen the Sect Protection Formation!"


    " All disciples, Retreat!"


    " Hahaha! HAHAHA!"


    Shen Liangughed loudly when he saw that. " Behold! Our ancestor''s Natal Weapon! Sky Thrusting Spear!"


    The giant crystal crackled as an old man appeared outside, holding the imperial Natal Weapon. He was none other than the ancestor of Sky Martial Tower, Xu Fuguo.


    Xia Yuqing and other''s expressions changed when they saw the spear light strike the body of Bai He.


    Her giant figure withered instantly as the vines turned into ashes. They couldn''t regenerate anymore like before, vanishing into nothingness.


    " Hmph, To think your Four Seasons Valley grew this much, making this old man to step out with Imperial Natal Weapon."


    The aged voice of Xu Fuogu rang, making everyone tremble beneath him.


    Everyone knew this spear as it was the same spear that the figure of Skyward Spear Emperor holding in his apparition. But now, it appears in reality, and its power is a hundred times more than the illusion.


    " Haah, Previously, we used all the talismans given by Long Ming to get away from that old hag." Wu Liang smiled wryly.


    " But even if we gather a million of them, it won''t be able to stop a single attack of that Sky Thrusting Spear."


    " Only if I was a bit more powerful¡­" Xia Yuqing grumbled, but Wu Liang patted her.


    " Sect Master, You already did your best. Now, This fight isn''t ours to fight."


    Bai He fell from the sky. But a green light enveloped her as she gentlynded on the ground, wiping blood from her lips. An armor crumbled from her body, making her sway a bit.


    " Old Bastard, You finally came out, eh?"


    " I only have a few hundred breaths of time before my vitality starts burning." Xu Fuguo sighed. " But it''s enough to eradicate the Four Seasons Valley."


    " What an arrogant bastard." Bai He snorted as she rushed towards Li Rung.


    Li Rung already turned around, trying to escape. However, Bai He didn''t let her go.


    " Hmph! Die already!"


    Xu Fuguo raised the spear as he gave another thrust. The spear light tore through the space as it shot at Bai He.


    " Hmph! Bold words!"


    " Crescent Sun Cleaves the Sky!"


    The color of heaven turned crimson as if purgatory appeared in the sky. The sun turned crescent as it turned bigger and bigger.


    Instantly, it broke the spear qi, making it disperse.


    Xu Fuguo''s expression changed drastically when he saw a neer in the battlefield, holding a saber that looked like it was made from moltenva.


    " Crimson Sky Heavenly Saber?! Who are you!"


    " Ancestor of Four Seasons Valley." Ancestor Huang replied nonchntly.


    " Impossible! Four Seasons Valley got no one else other than Bai He."


    " Well, I guess you are just misinformed then."


    Taking a step forward, Ancetsor Huang made the space bent.The saber in his hand shone with a deadly brilliance as he made nine consecutive shes, each sh breaking the space and burning the air.


    " Hmph! No matter what, You aren''t going to escape today!"


    Xu Fuguo jumped forward as he raised his golden spear. The sky turned dark as they were filled with spear shadows,ing down like rain.


    " Grand Dao of Spear! All shall pierce!"


    " Grand Dao of Saber! Nine Sky Cut!"


    The heavens and earth rumbled as both attacks met each other. The spear pierces the saber chops. And the saber cleaved the spear rod


    Both Ancestor Huang and Xu Fuguo backed away, only to fight back once again. Their battle created immense ripples, destroying anything in their vicinity.


    Xu Fuguo gritted his teeth as he pushed forward. He was afraid that if he burnt too much vitality, he would die. He already lived thousands of years, and he didn''t want to fall here.


    However, as their fighting reached an equilibrium, a small flying object appeared in the sky. No one seems to have noticed it until now.


    Suddenly, it hurled a ck colored coin towards Xu Fuguo. Xu Fuguo realized it, but he couldn''t feel any malicious aura.


    And at this moment, he can''t diverge his attention at all.


    However, that''s where he made a grave mistake.


    Long Ming, sitting leisurely in Solitary Flower Peak smiled as Xiao''er kneaded his shoulders. He cut off his divine sense from Sky Eye drone that he got from a system long ago.


    " Coin of Misfortune, Activate."


    He used the final card to end this battle.

 Chapter 269 Finale

    <h4>Chapter 269 Finale</h4>


    " Haah, Young Master, I thought you would go to the battlefield, killing the enemies, relishing the blood and war." Xiao''er chuckled as she gently massaged Long Ming''s shoulders.


    " Am I such a person in your eyes?" Long Ming chuckled. " Hey, I am such an elegant and refined schr. How can I go to kill people."


    Xiao''er became speechless when she heard that. If she hadn''t known Long Ming, she might have believed him.


    " Unfortunately, I know you so well¡­Young Master."


    Long Ming smiled faintly when he heard Xiao''er''s usations.


    '' Haah, But it''s true that I should stay away from the war and killing. As long as my enemies die, does it matter if I personally kill them or not?''


    Long Ming used the Sky Eye which floated around the battlefield, watching the smallest detail that was happening there.


    He knew the North Gate would get breached first. So, He moved the Thousand Illusory Demon Formation there. He also tweaked it in such a way that only Harmonization Realm cultivators would be trapped by it.


    He did it because he didn''t want the main disciples of Four Seasons Valley to grow like sheltered flowers.


    Eliminating the variables like the elders and core disciples who reached the Harmonization Realm, he created an equal battlefield for Four Seasons Valley and their opponent.


    " Well, It was good that none of them were harmed. And your healing wine really did the miracle, making them easily heal from their injuries and recover their energy." Xiao''er praised Long Ming''s decision.


    " Of course, there are some side effects." Long Ming smiled ruefully. " After a few cups, the intoxication of that wine would be too much for them to handle. So, they need to kill their enemies without getting drunk."


    One day ago, a tremendous aura erupted from the deepest valley of the Four Seasons Valley. Long Ming and others were ted when they saw Bai He for the first time, in her middle aged woman''s form.


    She thanked Jia Hao profusely, as his wine gave increased her lifespan. And, she had already reached Half step of the Dao Refining Realm.


    To reach the Dao Refining Realm, she still needs to prepare various things. However, in such a short amount of time, it was impossible to do so.


    However, Bai He told everyone to rest assured because she already reached the peak of the Perfection stage of her Royal Body, the Great Forest Spirit Physique.


    With that, she could easily fight against a genuine Dao Refining Realm old ancestor¡­Or at least stall time till his longevity runs out.


    After all, in the higher realm, many times, the remaining true blood and longevity matter more than power itself. What''s the point of winning if you die in the next second?


    The next step in his n was using the Imperial Weapons. Long Ming asked everyone to use Imperial Weapons without any hesitation. He had already gotten a few from the ck Pearl City and a few from the Azure Sun Secret Realm.


    Therefore, in a decisive battle like this, one needs to pour all of their strength and kill as many enemies as possible.


    '' The opponent probably thought that we would use the Imperial Weapons in the end as a means of desperation. But Master and Big Sister Meng, Grand Elder Wu used it from the start, delivering a surprise attack and killing a lot of elders of Sky Martial Tower.''


    After that, He sent Mu Qinglian to deal with the elders trapped inside the Thousand Illusory Demon Formation. Because, Why not?


    Mu Qinglian needs to push her Imperial Physique to the Perfection stage. And for that, Long Ming prepared a suitable stage for her.


    " Sister Mu is truly so powerful. She single handedly wiped out all the elders trapped inside the formation." Xiao''er sighed. " I wonder when I would be this powerful?"


    " Dual cultivate with me three times a day. Your cultivation would skyrocket." Long Ming replied with a serious tone.


    " Bah! Young Master, How can you reply so¡­shamelessly!"


    Xiao''er couldn''t help but blush when she heard Long Ming. Even during such time, Long Ming remained as cheeky as ever.


    " Hey, I didn''t say anything wrong. You know I am telling the truth, don''t you?" Long Ming put on an innocent expression.


    " However, To think Blissful Heaven Temple and Sky Martial Tower hiding such old monsters. And the Imperial Treasures are too fearsome." Xiao''er shuddered when she thought about it.


    Today, Long Ming got 5000 pieces of Golden Canopy Talismans. Therefore, he stuffed thousands of talismans in a single jade piece, allowing to trigger all talismans at once if the user is harmed.


    And thankfully, that''s what saved Xia Yuqing and Wu Liang from the sudden attack of that old hag Li.


    Although Long Ming expected such a thing to happen, seeing the ss of Imperial Weapons was something outside his expectations. Just a little remnant of the Heavenly Emperor can wreak such havoc.


    He couldn''t even imagine how powerful a true Heavenly Emperor would be.


    '' No wonder despite the decline of Four Seasons Valley, no one dared to attack it. The fear of Heavenly Emperors is not a trifling matter.''


    Using the Sky Eye, Long Ming kept watching till he saw Xu Fuguo using the Sky Thrusting Spear to attack Elder Bai He.


    Thankfully, he already asked Ancestor Huang to stay on standby, holding the True Imperial Weapon of Crimson Sky Empress.


    " Actually, Ancestor Huang''s longevity is almost simr to Xu Fuguo. However, Ancestor Huang has more experience and remained sealed in an auspicious fengshui location to seal the Pale Mountain Abyss Monster." Long Ming replied. " Therefore, he could easily rival Xu Fuguo."


    " But, I guess this Xu Fuguo is a tough nut to crack. He is using the spear very well, fighting toe to toe against Ancestor Huang."


    Long Ming frowned when he saw that scene. If the battle elongates, it would be disadvantageous for the Four Seasons Valley.


    Therefore, He felt like he need to do something, to finish this battle as fast as possible.


    '' However, What I can do?'' Long Ming smiled wryly. '' Even if I muster every ounce of my strength and treasures, just the aftershocks of Imperial Weapons are enough to kill me.''


    '' They are equally matching. So, All Ancestor Huang needs an opening. As long as he find it, he would be able to kill Xu Fuguo instantly.''


    '' But how can I create it? I am just a small cultivator, an ant before them.''


    '' Haah, What a bad luck¡­ Wait!''


    Long Ming realized something as he thought about an item he just got recently. It was none other than the Coins of Fortune and Misfortune.


    He wondered what would happen if he use the Coin of Misfortune on Xu Fuguo?


    Excited by the propects, Long Ming recalled the Sky Eye and loaded it with the ck colored coin. Just looking at it and the ck smoke oozing out, Long Ming felt a strange feeling in his heart.


    " Here goes nothing."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Xu Fuguo felt something hitting him. But it onlyst for a moment before vanishing. Suddenly, his expression changed as his hands trembled.


    " Damn it! This spear! Why is it drawing out my true blood!?"


    He was surprised and horrified when he found that. It was like his own energy was bing insufficient, making it draw out true blood from his body.


    And without true blood, Xu Fuguo is good as dead.


    That moment of flinch gave Ancestor Huang a chance. His saber streaked across the air, melting the space itself. The strikended on the body of Xu Fuguo, making him crash on a mountain.


    Coughing out a mouthful of blood, Xu Fuguos used the spear to block the attack. s, he couldn''t fully block the attack.


    '' Fuck! I need to escape!'' Xu Fuguo thought inwardly as he pulled out a ck colored talisman.


    However, just before he could tear it, the sky rumbled with ck clouds, with white lightning shing like serpents.


    " Im-Impossible! Has my tribtion arrived? How is this possible!"


    Xu Fuguo thought inwardly. However, the next moment, he regretted it.


    " HAHA! XU FUGUO! DIE!"


    Ancestor Huang soared to the sky like a divine being ascending. The saber shed, threatening to cleave the heaven and earth with its might.


    Suddenly, it shone with a zing brilliance as Ancestor Huang''s body became one with the saber, turning it into a gigantic figure.


    The saber fell, making the world silent for a moment. However, the next moment, an arc of molten me descended, surrounding Xu Fuguo along with the entire mountain.


    The entire area was engulfed with mes, destroying anything that touched it. With a scream, an illusory figure of Xu Fuguo darted out. It was none other than his primordial spirit.


    However, With a flick, Ancestor Huang severed it with his saber.

 Chapter 270 Aftermath of Battle

    <h4>Chapter 270 Aftermath of Battle</h4>


    Everything happened so fast that many people couldn''t digest what just happened. However, soon, Ancestor Huang rose, holding the Sky Thrusting Spear in his hands.


    Shen Liang''s expression changed drastically when he realized that everything was over. Xu Fuguo died and his primordial spirit was destroyed by Ancestor Huang.


    The moment Shen Liang came back to his senses, he turned around to leave. However, a sword qi streaked across the sky, slicing off the lower body of Shen Liang cleanly.


    "ARRRGHHH!"


    Blood sshed as Shen Liang plummeted to the ground. Shen Liang screamed in pain. However, all he received was another cold stab of sword, as if he was impaled by an icy nail.


    " Hmph, Trying to escape? The Four Seasons Valley waited thousands of years for this." Xia Yuqing''s voice rang coldly.


    " Xia Yuqing! You can''t! You can''t kill me!" Shen Liang roared! " The Imperial Family! They won''t let it happen."


    " Hmph, Even if the Emperor of Holy Qilines, he won''t be able to stop you." Xia Yuqing clenched her sword and stabbed again.


    " Three hundred¡­Three hundred disciples and four elders¡­Thanks to your Sky Martial Tower, we lost that many disciples and elders."


    " You think I don''t know? That you sent assassins after Mu Qinglian? You think I don''t know how Grand Elder got poisoned?"


    " Shen Liang! I ask you!" Xia Yuqing shouted. " You think I will let you go!?"


    With another sh, Xia Yuqing severed both arms of Shen Liang, making him cry for mercy.


    However, Xia Yuqing''s face was cold, like million year old ice jade.


    " Hah¡­Hahah! You bitch¡­If I am going to die¡­I will take down with you!"


    Shen Liang''s eyes turned bloodshot as his body started to swell. Bloody veins appeared all over his body, making him look like a monster.


    Xia Yuqing backed away as the body of Shen Liang exploded. The power engulfed hundreds of meters as it was covered with a bloody mist, obscuring the divine sense and spiritual qi.


    However, at that moment, Long Ming appeared like lightning descending from the sky, with his Raging Storm Wing swaying behind his back.


    Holding a crystal m in his hand, he opened it. " Hoho, Escape is futile, you bastard."


    " ARRGHHH!"


    An ethereal scream echoed across the space as light swirled around the open m Long Ming was holding. Soon, a pure white pearl condensed in the m, screaming and shouting to get out of it.


    If one looks closely enough, one would be able to see the figure of Shen Liang within the pearl.


    It was the Soul Trapping m Long Ming purchased from the store by using 15,000 Credits. It has the ability to trap someone''s soul for two days. After that, it will get dissolved.


    There a lot of things Shen Liang knew as the sect leader of Sky Martial Tower. Therefore, Long Ming had nned to use his primordial spirit for interrogation.


    He just came out after seeing Xu Fuguo killed by Ancestor Huang. However, when he saw Shen Liang was trying blow himself up, he felt something wasn''t right.


    Judging the character of Shen Liang, he isn''t someone who would die without trying to escape.


    " And, Here you are. I knew you still have a hidden card in your sleeve." Long Mingughed as he closed the m, trapping the soul of Shen Liang inside.


    Looking around he saw everyone looking at him with stunned gaze.


    " What? Finish off the remaining one." Long Ming replied nonchntly. " No one must escape from here."


    " Also, Gather and regroup. Tomorrow, we shall go to the Sky Martial Tower."


    Xia Yuqing''s chest rose and fell, her beautiful dress was stained with blood. Long Ming stood beside her as he held her trembling hands.


    " Master, You did well today. You should go and rest."


    " En?"


    " Master? Please return."


    " Ah¡­"


    Xia Yuqing came back to her sense when she heard Long Ming''s voice. Long Ming nced at Wu Liang and nodded.


    " Sect Master Xia, Let''s go back." Wu Liang held Xia Yuqing as they turned around and left.


    Overseeing the battlefield, Long Ming instructed everyone and killed the remaining disciples and elders of Sky Martial Tower. Old Hag Li was personally crused by Elder Bai He, who already returned to her chambers after killing her.


    As he was flying around the battlefield, his gaze fell on a figure slowly walking among the corpses.


    " Big Sister Meng?"


    Meng Zhi''s clothes were torn as she waspletly bloodied. She was holding the head of Li Shumei as she walking down slowly, with a vacant expression.


    " Big Sister Meng? Big Sister Meng Zhi!"


    " Eh¡­Ah¡­Little Brother Long." Meng Zhi came back to her sense as she smiled at Long Ming. " Oh dear, I am in such a messy state. I should clean up¡­"


    " Are you alright?" Long Ming asked in a concerned voice, knowing she wasn''t.


    " Ah¡­ I am alright. I am just¡­Tired after today''s bloodshed." Meng Zhi stretched her body. " But guess what? I managed to kill this little whore."


    " It looks like you had an old enmity with her, Big Sister Meng." Long Ming smiled. " I guess it''s over now."


    " I don''t think so¡­" Meng Zhi murmured. " There are still many¡­


    who I need to kill."


    " Why worry about them now?" Long Ming ced his palm on Meng Zhi''s shoulder, feeling the heat on her body.


    " No matter what, I will support you."


    " Long Ming¡­"


    Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming for a while as she forced a smile on her face. "Alright, Do you want to melt my heart right now? Well, I am free tonight for some¡­steamy celebration."


    " Haha, We shall talk about itter. But right now, How about you go and take a nice little bath?"


    " Of course, That''s what I was thinking about." Meng Zhiughed lightly as she turned and walked away hurriedly.


    As she crossed Long Ming, two streaks of water from her eyes, drenched her cheeks.


    " Haah, Truly¡­A tiring day indeed."


    .


    .


    .


    ''So, Today, I earned 10,000 from Daily Quest. The system would be gone tomorrow. I still have enough credits to purchase the Sky Lightning Crown.''


    Returning back to the sect, She saw Ming Yuexin, Lin Xie, and Chen Yin surveying around, tending the wounds of the disciples who fought the battle.


    All the disciples from the enemy sect either got killed or captured.


    " What''s the situation?" Long Ming asked in a calm voice.


    " Only ten of us died." Lin Xie bit her lips. " But other than that, everyone else is fine."


    " Hehe, Senior Brother, You are truly a god. You got so many treasures for us." Chen Yin grinned as she held Long Ming''s arm.


    " So, Shall we return it to the sect?"


    " Why?" Long Mingughed. " This is your reward. Keep all of them with you."


    " And if you don''t want to, you can exchange them for the contribution points in the Treasure Pavilion, purchasing other treasures from the sect."


    " Hehe, Senior Brother, You are so generous."


    " How about having a celebration tonight?"


    " Yeah, This time, We want an all night¡­Celebration."


    Long Ming was dumbfounded when he saw the hungry gazes of Ming Yuexin, Chen Yin, Lin Xie, and Shui Huan.


    '' Damn it, Why do I feel they are going to break my waist tonight?'' Long Ming sweated as he found an excuse to walk away from there.


    However, suddenly, a figure moved as she hugged Long Ming tightly.


    " Senior Sister Mu?"


    Long Ming could feel the heat of her body, it was like she was having a fever.


    '' Haah, I guess everyone here affected by the ughter.'' Long Ming sighed as he steeled his breath.


    ''Alright! Tonight, I shall make the best food for celebration!''

 Chapter 271 End of Blissful Heaven Temple

    <h4>Chapter 271 End of Blissful Heaven Temple</h4>


    The entire Grand Sky City was in chaos after what happened between Four Seasons Valley and Sky Martial Tower. However, when the news spread that Sky Martial Tower lost miserably, everyone took a breath of cold air.


    " Impossible! How could Sky Martial Tower lose?"


    " Indeed! Four Seasons Valley was alone while Sky Martial Tower had the support of Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain!"


    " To think Four Seasons Valley would crush Sky Martial Tower. They even killed their ancestor who was at Dao Refining Realm."


    " Four Seasons Valley were hiding their ancestors too. Along with Ancestor Bai He, there was another Ancestor who was at the Dao Refining Realm."


    " Hiss! To think Four Seasons Valley would prepare such a trap for Sky Martial Tower."


    " Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger."


    However, the reactions of Green Cloud Mountain and Blissful Heaven Temple were more drastic.


    " What?! Our Sect Lost! Sect Master and other elders got killed?!


    " Impossible! Even Ancestor Li went out after receiving the signal!"


    " No-No! What will happen to us now?!"


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    Suddenly, the air rumbled as flying treasure boats appeared outside the Blissful Heaven Temple. Meng Zhi stood on the front, gazing down at the Blissful Heaven Temple with a cold gaze.


    " Damn it! They are fast!"


    " Hurry up and set up the Sect Protection Formation!"


    The remaining disciples and elders panicked when they saw the flying Treasure Boats of Four Seasons Valley right outside their sect.


    However, no matter how the elders tried, the Sect Protection Formation didn''t turn on at all. The entire Blissful Heaven Temple turned into a turtle without its shell.


    " Blissful Heaven Temple! You have destroyed the harmony of Grand Sky City and attacked our Four Seasons Valley without any cause."


    " However, Unlike the little dead bitch of Sect Master of your sect, We shall give you a choice."


    " Drop your weapons and surrender, you shall be spared. If not¡­ Hehe, Prepare to die."


    " Hmph! You think our Blissful Heaven Temple is weak!" An elder threatened.


    However, an illusory dark sword appeared as sword qi flooded out like dark ink like a ck dragon rising from the pool.


    The elder was rmed as his Harmonization Realm aura burst out. However, the moment the sword Qi touched him, his entire body ripped into shreds.


    His primordial spirit screamed, but it couldn''t escape either.


    " Th-That''s an Imperial Weapon! A Blessed Imperial Weapon!"


    Meng Zhi didn''t bother to look at the pool of blood and bones as she looked back at the others. " I guess you understood that I wasn''t joking. I give you an incense stick worth of time."


    " So, Be fast."


    The Four Seasons Valley surrounded the Blissful Heaven Temple, and each of them was burning with anger and excitement.


    Finally, they were ready to extract revenge from their years old enemies. They all had hatred towards Blissful Heaven Temple more than Sky Martial Tower.


    Without the Sect Protection Formation, the Four Seasons Valley directly invaded the Blissful Heaven Temple''s premise and surrounded all the main buildings.


    The Treasure Boats hovered in the air, looking at the situation from above.


    " Damn it! Why the Sect Protection Formation is not working!"


    " How could we fight them back since they already reached our doorsteps?!"


    Meng Zhi''s lips curled when she saw the utter confusion of the elders and disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple.


    Slowly, A woman walked towards Meng Zhi, wearing the clothes of Blissful Heaven Temple. The disciples of Four Seasons Valley tried to stop her, but Meng Zhi raised her hand, telling them to back away.


    " You look old, Have your cultivation stagnated?" Meng Zhi looked at her with a soft gaze. " You worked well."


    " It was all thanks to you, Lady Meng." The woman knelt as she started to sob. " I never thought a day like this woulde. I never thought I would be able to see the fall of this damned sect."


    Everyone became dumbfounded when they realized the woman was Meng Zhi''s pawn inside Blissful Heaven Temple.


    " What? Isn''t that the Warden of the Outer Sect?"


    " Why is it her? Is she behind everything?"


    The woman stood up and started tough. With her bbering, everyone seemed to have a rough idea of why she did that.


    They came to know that almost a hundred years ago, She and her daughter were kidnapped by a few disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple.


    Killing her husband, they raped both month and daughter and kept them as ves. Later, her daughter was sold off as a prostitute in the Blissful Hall.


    The woman found an opportunity to escape. However, not long after, she came to know that her daughter had already been killed in Blissful Hall.


    As for the process of death, she never wished to know. How could a mother hear about the torture that killed her child?


    She vowed to kill the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple who did that to her family. However, she was an ordinary cultivator. How could she have such power?


    Nheless, she joined back the sect and kept working the Outer Sect. However, till then, she felt the gap between her enemies and her increased too much.


    Without any resources, she couldn''t cultivate beyond the Violet Pce Expansion Realm.


    At that moment, she met Meng Zhi, who gave her a ray of hope. Not only did Meng Zhi supply the woman with cultivation resources, but she even helped her to kill her enemies.


    In return, the woman vowed to be a ve of Meng Zhi, being her eyes and ears in the Blissful Heaven Temple.


    One week ago, Meng Zhi gave her an instruction. It was to sabotage the Sect Protection Formation of Blissful Heaven Temple.


    After all, Sect Protection Formation only actives during time of emergency. Therefore, not many would check it to see if it''s fine or not.


    Sabotaing it easy, especially for the Warden of Outer Sect, who lived in Blissful Heaven Temple for years.


    She cut off all the spiritual grids that supplied power to the Sect Protection Formation. Then, she even sabotaged the formation nodes, making them unable to start.


    And today, her years of longing finally ended. The Blissful Heaven Temple shall face its judgment. And she yed a significant part in it.


    " Daughter¡­Today, I have finally taken revenge for you." Looking at the sky, the woman murmured.


    Now, The Blissful Heaven Temple is already divided into two factions. One who wanted to fight back and another one who wanted to surrender.


    As the waiting time ended, Meng Zhi gave a loud shout.


    " Kill whoever not kneeling down!"


    " Kill!"


    " Kill all of them!"


    The Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples and elders became enraged. Just like a mouse in a corner, they had no choice but to fight.


    " Kill those bitches of Four Seasons Valley!"


    " For the glory of Blissful Heaven Temple!"


    Both sides engaged in a fierce battle as weapons and techniques shed with each other. Meng Zhi used the remaining power of the Blessed Imperial Weapon and blocked all the elders at once.


    Her Evil Moon Yin Qi erupted like a dark tidal wave, sweeping the battlefield like a wave of death.


    " Leave none of them alive!"


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile, in Solitary Flower Peak¡­


    " Alright,We have already gotten two Primordial Spirit Unification Realm Red Tusk Boar Demon, ABlue Tip Poison Snake, Soaring River Carps, ring Crimson Chicken¡­"


    Long Ming checked the list as he rolled his sleeves.


    " Time to cook."

 Chapter 272 Party Begins

    <h4>Chapter 272 Party Begins</h4>


    Long Ming''s knife moved as the sword intentionally shot like a sharp winds, slicing off the hides of the demonic beasts.


    With high precision, he deboned the, separating the tender flesh from the bones.


    Taking the bones, he threw them into huge woks, tossing them in his azure mes. They used the clear spring waters to boil the bones, making broth out of them.


    His knife shone as he diced the meat into perfect slices, tossing them in mes till they got charred.


    Preparing rice, noodles, sauces, and other things, Long Ming prepared them from scratch. He used precious herbs and meat of demonic beasts as ingredients and used his azure mes to cook the dishes.


    " Now, A dash of my special Four Seasons True Wine. I will pour everything to prepare the dishes for this party."


    It took more than eight hours for Long Ming to prepare for the feast. Everyone around the Solitary Flower Pear could inhale the aroma of the dishes, yet none of them were allowed to go up there.


    Xiao''er and Chu Li were running errands for Long Ming and they couldn''t help but get tired out. However, seeing Long Ming''s enthusiasm, they couldn''t stop themselves.


    " Ugh, How can Senior Brother cook so well?" Chu Li kept wiping her drool as she inhaled the aroma.


    " You have tasted Young Master''s food, right? It tastes heavenly." Xiao''er sighed. " I feel both good and bad about this."


    " Why is it, Sister Xiao''er?" Chu Li asked in a curious voice.


    " Well, I obviously like Young Master''s eating." Xiao''er smiled wryly. " However, I feel bad because I can''t cook food of simr caliber to him."


    " I mean, What sort of maid cooks worse than the master she serves?"


    " Haha, I got it, Sister''s Xiao''er." Chu Li grinned. " However, Senior Brother is just an anomaly. So, you shouldn''t trypeting with him."


    " That''s true though." Xiao''er giggled.


    As night fell, the entire Four Seasons Valley was well decorated. The disciples fleeted from here to there, getting excited about the victory of the Sky Martial Tower.


    Not long after, the flying boats of Four Seasons Valley returned back to the sect, making everyone excited.


    " Look! Elder Meng and others have returned!"


    " I guess we sessfully managed to take down the Blissful Heaven Temple!"


    Meng Zhi and the other elders descended from the flying boat as she saw Xia Yuqing and Wu Liang standing to wee her back.


    " Meng Zhi, Wee back. You must be already tired." Xia Yuqing sighed as she saw the battered Meng Zhi, covered with stains of blood.


    " Not at all, Sect Master Xia. I needed to clean up the remaining pest, lest they dare to raise their head and try to harm our sect." Meng Zhi smiled brightly.


    " So, Let me report you the progress. First, more than half of the Blissful Heaven Temple has surrendered to us. Those who dared to resist were killed without mercy."


    " I have set up the Sect Formation in the Blissful Heaven Temple. However, instead of protecting, it would work the same as a prison, unable to let them escape."


    " Also, I have connected the teleportation formation of Blissful Heaven Temple with ours, so we can travel there instantly."


    " Aaand¡­" Meng Zhi''s grin became wide. " I also captured the Blissful Hall. So, No morepetition for our Eternal Spring Towers."


    As Meng Zhi was reporting with enthusiasm, Xia Yuqing suddenly walked forward and hugged Meng Zhi.


    " Shhh¡­Meng Zhi, calm down. You already did enough. You should go and wash yourself."


    " Sect Master Xia¡­"


    " Won''t you listen to your elder sister?" Xia Yuqing spoke softly, making Meng Zhi silent. Taking a step back, Meng Zhi looked around.


    " Well, Where is my beloved little brother Long?" Meng Zhi asked yfully.


    " Long Ming?" Xia Yuqing sighed with a chuckle. " He is preparing a feast for everyone."


    " Oh, Really?" Meng Zhi couldn''t help but get excited. " Then, I must not dy either. I should go and prepare myself for the banquet."


    " Hmph, You aren''t listening to Master. Yet the moment Long Ming''s words came, you became so eager?" Mu Qinglian replied curtly.


    Meng Zhi grinned to see the ever jealous Saintess. " Aw, Well Qingqing, the thing is¡­Little brother Long is so handsome. How can I not be eager for him?"


    " Hmph, old hag¡­" Mu Qinglian muttered under her breath, turning around quickly.


    Everyone chuckled at the banter as Meng Zhi and the other elders left. Everyone could not help but rx after fighting such a big war.


    As the night fell, All the Core Disciples, Elders, Sect Master, Grand Elder, and Ancestors gathered in the Four Seasons Great Hall.


    Xia Yuqing stood up from her seat as she looked at everyone.


    " Everyone who has gathered here, Today, we have secured a huge victory. For years, we lost our former glory, like a gold whose outeryer was dimmed."


    " For years, Sky Martial Tower and Blissful Heaven Temple kept offending us. For years, we have been suppressed by them."


    " Whether in the guise of the spar, or assassination, many of our elders and disciples died."


    " However, Today, We have defeated them!" Xia Yuqing raised her voice, making everyone''s blood boil with excitement.


    " Today, We defeated our ages long enemies, and took a step back to reach the former glory we had a thousand years ago."


    " And, everything happened due to effor of everyone. For this, I, Xia Yuqing, bow before all of you."


    Cupping her fist, Xia Yuqing bowed. In return, everyone bowed further.


    " Sect Master, Please don''t low your back for us."


    " Indeed, If it wasn''t for your leadership, we would have ruined already."


    " Sect Master, You are my idol!"


    Xia Yuqing smiled as she saw everyone''s enthusiasm. Bai He walked forward as she patted Xia Yuqing.


    " You did well, Yuqing. I guess the decision of previous Sect Master was truly right. He had the vision, he saw the potential in you which many of us missed."


    " And, I thank you for this, for keeping this sect alive."


    " Alright, Everyone, We have done enough of boring¡­I mean¡­


    victory speech."


    A voice broke everyone''s immersion as they looked at the main gate, seeing Long Ming walking inside.


    " Now, Time for the main attraction of the banquet¡­which is¡­


    Food!"


    With a p of hand, Long Ming led everyone to the dining room, where everything were decorated already.


    Female disciples came row after row, each holding a lot of tters.


    " Begin serving!" Long Ming gave order with a grin. " I hope all of you would enjoy the dinner."

 Chapter 273 Banquet Banter

    Chapter 273 Banquet Banter


    Everyone was shocked when the covers were taken off the tes. A rich fragrance spread across the room like a mist, making everyone salivate instantly.


    " Wh-What sort of heavenly food is this?"


    " Is it just me or the food is¡­sparkling?"


    " Mmhh¡­The aroma, Is filled with natural true qi with such a delicious scent."


    " Well, I hope this looks appetizing for you all?" Long Ming grinned. " After all, I almost spent an entire day preparing everything."


    " You all have been worn off by the battle. I didn''t participate directly. However, I can at least do this for you."


    Xia Yuqingposed herself as she rubbed her lips. " This¡­The preparation you did is splendid. And, don''t talk like you didn''t help us in this battle, Long Ming."


    " Without your meticulous nning, the Four Seasons Valley might have suffered an even greater loss."


    " Indeed, Long Ming, You were a great help. Without you, we wouldn''t been able to defeat the Sky Martial Tower." Wu Liang nodded with a smile.


    " Ahaha, I knew he is an exceptional talent the moment I saw him." Bai He sat on a chair as she sighed. " Haah, To think my Four Seasons Valley''s fortune would finally shine once again. Empress Crimson Sky''s prophecy came true."


    " Indeed, You are right."


    " Well, I believe we already did enough chit chat." Meng Zhi spoke as she appeared behind Long Ming, hugging him tightly.


    " Little Brother Long prepared food solely for us. What if it goes cold? We should hurry up and taste it."


    " But before that¡­" Mu Qinglian stepped forward as she looked at Meng Zhi. " Why don''t you let him go?"


    " Oh? And why should I?" Meng Zhi cooed, acting all innocent. Walking before Long Ming, she couldn''t help but unt herself.


    " Little Brother, I got dressed especially for you tonight, Can you tell how am I looking?"


    She wore a pitch ck dress, with designs like silver moon, which shone gently under the light. The dress was sleeveless, with a deep V cut showing an ample amount of the dark ravine created by squeezing her twin mountains.


    Long Ming couldn''t help but take a deep breath. " You look absolutely gorgeous, Big Sister Meng."


    " Hehe, I know it. But I guess someone is being jealous if I stay near you~"


    Mu Qinglian''s face flinched. " Wh-What do you mean? I am not jealous!"


    " So, I guess you won''t be bothered if I stay with Little Brother Long?"


    " Yo-You!"


    " No, I will be bothered." Ming Yuexin stepped forward as she looked at Meng Zhi.


    " Yes! Senior Brother must dine with us!" Lin Xie added.


    And after that, Chen Yin, Shui Huan, Chu Li, and others protested against Elder Meng.


    " Ugh, You little¡­ You know how to rebel against the elders?" Meng Zhi pouted.


    " Enough!"


    Xia Yuqing sighed as she raised her hand. " Sit down and start eating."


    " Yes, Sect Master."


    As everyone sat down, the disciples served the dishes to the elders first. After that, they served on their own. " This¡­ Oh goodness!"


    " Heavens! This meat¡­It''s so tender and vorful!"


    " Haha! Is this Yellow Scaled Pufferfish? To think I would be eating it after so many years. It tastes¡­Mmm."


    All the elders and ancestors along with Xia Yuqing were starled when they ate the dishes. Not only it had a top ss taste, but they could feel the subtle movements of true qi inside their body.


    Since they were at a higher realm in cultivation, the effect was very minimal, yet it was there. However, to the disciples, the dishes were nothing less than top tier medicinal pills.


    Ming Yuexin hurriedly took an entire bowl of seafood for herself. " Mmmh! This is so¡­tasty! I need another bowl!"


    " Is this a demon boar meat? I thought they tasted very stiff. Yet this¡­This feels so¡­tender and delicious!" Chen Yin gobbled the food.


    Mu Qinglian also slurped the noodles as her eyes shone. Long Min specially prepared some dishes for Mu Qinglian and Xia Yuqing.


    " Huh? Wh-What''s happening?"


    " This food! It''s like nourishing my body!"


    " Haah! All the fatigue I got from the battle is now vanishing."


    " I guess I would be able to break through to the Harmonization Realm in a few days."


    Long Ming smiled as he served everyone first. " Of course, I have used my passion andprehension to cook all these dishes. After eating it, your body, soul and energy shall slowly rx, harmonizing with each other without any issue."


    " So, you need to grab this chance andprehend the naturalws of Heaven and Earth and you shall be able to reach the Harmonization realm."


    " I already created a perfect manual for all of you. So, Do not be hasty and read my theories to reach the Harmonization Realm."


    Long Ming wasn''t just watching the battle with the Sky Eye. He was also preparing to help all the disciples who were stuck in the Peak stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm to the Harmonization Realm.


    " Aw, Little Brother Long is so considerate." Meng Zhi ate her food elegantly. " How about you visit the Eternal Spring Tower? I believe my little girls would be able to put on a nice performance for you."


    " Elder Meng, Can''t you find anything good to talk about?" Mu Qinglian spoke in an icy voice.


    " Well then, How about the opening of Sky Fountain Pce?" Long Ming suddenly spoke. " I believe everyone knows about the rumors of the tomb of a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm Cultivator?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Sky Fountain Pce? Ah, I believe it''s already so many years, huh?" Bai He was surprised. " As for the Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator, is it Venerable Hong Luo?"


    " Elder Bai knows?" Long Ming was surprised. Bai He nodded as she drank the medicinal soup.


    " The rumors of his inheritance were widespread even before I sealed myself in a meditative state. Especially because of a Heavenly Physique Paste inside his vault."


    " Heavenly Physique Paste? Is it¡­The legendary medicinal paste that can rebuild the body and make even a mortal cultivate Imperial Grade Physique Techniques?" Long Ming was surprised.


    " You are right. Not to mention, even for Physique Practitioners, using such paste might help them to increase their physique cultivation realm and help them to cross physique tribtion."


    " However, another rumor is¡­As long as you can find it¡­You might be able to cultivate an Imperial Physique into Ancient Heaven Grade Physique."


    Everyone was shocked when they heard Bai He''s words. Ancestor Huang also nodded. " Indeed, I have also heard that. But Heavenly Physique''s are very rare."


    " It appeared millennials ago in Eastern Province, and that''s two generations before Empress Winter Song. That shows how rare it is."

 Chapter 274 Future Strategy

    Chapter 274 Future Strategy


    Bai He and Ancestor Huang shed some light on the Sky Fountain Pce.


    The Sky Fountain Pce is actually a gigantic ruins of an ancient dynasty, spanning across a thousand li. It''s called the Great Sky Ruins, one of the greatest forbidden zones of the Rain Dragon Continent. The Sky Fountain Pce is a giant floating pce in the middle of the Sky Pce Ruins.


    " In fact, the Outer and Inneryer of the Sky Fountain Pce is always open. However, when it''s said that the Sky Fountain Pce is about to open, they were talking about the core part of the pce."


    " So, Venerable Hong Luo''s inheritance was in the Core Part?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " No one knows." Bai He shook her head. " I admit the Core Part of the pce has amazing treasures, on the part of Imperial Weapons. But Venerable Hong Luo''s inheritance could be anywhere in the Great Sky Ruins."


    " But, The Core Region has another allure. Because¡­It might contain the inheritance of another Grand Heaven Ascension Realm Cultivator or even a Heaven Emperor''s treasury."


    " Heavenly Emperor''s inheritance? Then why didn''t we heard anything about it?" Mu Qinglian was surprised.


    " It''s because The Great Sky Ruins is like a vast treasury. Due to its uniqueness and suppression effect, many powerful figures hid their inheritance there for the future generation." Xia Yuqing replied.


    " Think it a ce filled with safe boxes. Only if you have the key, you can open the corresponding box. So, Even if you know there is an inheritance somewhere, you won''t be able to get it unless you have the right to open it."


    Ancestor Huang chuckled, " However, I believe Great Sky Ruin is an excellent ce for train, Of course, I am just talking bout the outer area. As for the inner area, even Nine Transformation of Soul Realm expert could fall easily."


    " Little Brother Long, Are you going to participate in the opening of Sky Fountain Pce this time?" Meng Zhi asked worriedly. " It might be dangerous for you."


    " Sects from the entire Eastern and Central Province woulde flocking. There are also many Imperial Lineages among them."


    Long Ming grinned when he heard that. " Sister Meng, You think I will back down because of some brats from Imperial Lineages?"


    " Hehe, I know you won''t. However, being cautious won''t harm, right?" Meng Zhi licked her lips. " I don''t want you to get harmed before I¡­Hehe."


    " Anyway, What about the Sky Martial Tower?" Mu Qinglian cut off Meng Zhi as she looked at Xia Yuqing. " We have already defeated the Blissful Heaven Temple. Now, only Green Cloud Mountain and Sky Martial Tower is remaining."


    " I received a news." Meng Zhi''s lips curled. " The Eastern Sky Sect and another party are attacking the Sky Martial Tower at this moment. It looks like they already got the news of the death of their Sect Master and Ancestors."


    " Huh? Eastern Sky Sect? Why would they want to help us?" Xia Yuqing was baffled. " I don''t think we have any rtionship between us?"


    " Does it need to be any rtionship?" Wu Liang snorted lightly. " The current Sky Martial Tower is a treasure trove only guarded by a thinyer of shield. The other sects would obviously want to destroy it and get all their resources."


    " But it''s not that easy." Meng Zhi interjected. " The Sky Martial Tower is still an active Imperial Lineage at this moment. They also have close ties with several allies."


    " Not to mention, They have deployed their Sky Covering Imperial Formation, which is unbreachable by even the Dao Refining Realm cultivators."


    " To maintain such formation, That would require an astronomical amount of true qi and resources, no?" Long Ming frowned. " How much do they have?"


    " Probably a lot." Meng Zhi sighed. " However, I estimate that for minimum, the barrier wouldst for a year."


    " We can''t waste that amount of time obviously." Ming Yuexin shook her head. " In one year, Sky Martial Tower might be able to reverse this situation. We must act right now since we have a valid reason to attack them."


    " But just traveling there, It will take a week at least." Meng Zhi rubbed her chin.


    " One week? Then how did theye here so fast?" Mu Qinglian was startled.


    " Alright, Discussion during eating is bad." Long Ming raised his hands. " Everyone, Please enjoy the food and drinks. We shall talk about the matter of Sky Martial Tower tomorrow."


    " Alright, As Senior Brother says!"


    " For Four Seasons Valley!"


    " Cheers!"


    The night was filled withughter and joy as everyone had a rare moment of relief after the battle. After the main hall, the food and dishes were distributed to all the sect disciples. Long Ming chuckled as he could see a soared Fragrant Yin qi across the sect, swirling towards him. '' If things go like this, the Fragrant Blossoms of Eternal Springs Art would achieve a breakthrough. I wonder how much its power would increase?''


    Suddenly, he thought about something as he returned to his abode. Without dying, he took out the Soul Trapping m.


    " Bastard! Let me out! Let me out!"


    Opening it, he could see Shen Liang''s primordial spirit screaming inside the m, making the situation hrious.


    " Hmph, I guess you still don''t understand your position, huh?" Long Ming snorted as he injected his spiritual qi into the m.


    " ARRGHHH! IT HURTS! IT HURTS!"


    Shen Liang felt like his soul was being torn in a brutal manner, making him scream in agony. With the Soul Trapping m, Long Ming can inflict pain and damage to the soul trapped inside. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " Now, Would you talk or you want to suffer more?"


    " I¡­I will talk¡­ ARRRGH!"


    Shen Liang''s soul screamed again as hist spirit alternated between illusion and reality, as if it was going to fade away. " Why?! Why did you punished me again!?"


    " Um, I guess I didn''t heard your answer." Long Ming gave a wicked grin. " Since you are obedient now, I shall ask you a series of question."


    " Let''s start with how to break the Sky Covering Formation protecting the Sky Martial Tower. Then, Tell me all the hidden treasuries and techniques."


    " I¡­"


    " I guess I need to increase the punishment." Long Ming condensed another thread of spiritual qi, making Shen Liang''s expression change.


    " I will tell you! I will tell you everything!"


    As Long Ming was interrogating Shen Liang, his door suddenly opened as a figure walked inside.


    " Huh? Xiao''er, You came ba-"


    Long Ming paused as he realized it wasn''t Xiao''er, but Meng Zhi.


    " Big Sister Meng?"


    " Hehe."


    Meng Zhi let out an evil grin as she locked the door.


    " Now, Shall I give you some reward?" She grinned, making Long Ming''s expression falter.


    *GULP*

 Chapter 275 Meng Zhi’s Dare

    <h4>Chapter 275 Meng Zhi''s Dare</h4>


    " Elder Sister Mu, What are you doing here?"


    Xiao''er halted her steps as she saw Mu Qinglian fleeting around the Solitary Flower Peak.


    " Ah, Xiao''er¡­I am¡­I am just¡­passing by here."


    " You wish to meet Young Master?" Xiao''er asked with a smile. " No need to shy, Elder Sister."


    " Uhm, You are the maid of Long Ming, right? I have seen it, he treats you so well."


    Xiao''er smiled affectionately as she nodded. " Perhaps the best thing in my life that happened is my meeting with Young Master. If he wasn''t there¡­I get shivers thinking about the consequences."


    " I see, You must love him, huh?"


    " More than my life." Xiao''er looked at the sky. " No matter what, I shall be always beside him, serving him till eternity."


    Mu Qinglian bit her lips when she heard that. Her fingers kept pinching the hem of her skirt.


    " What do you wish to ask, Sister Mu? I can see you are a bit troubled."


    " I¡­I don''t know how to say this. I just feel¡­very ufortable to see Long Ming¡­with other women." Mu Qinglian couldn''t suppress these voices in her heart any longer as she spoke.


    Xiao''er understood Mu Qinglian''s inner thoughts instantly, making her smile. " Ah, I guess it was bound to happen. Sister Mu, perhaps you have fallen in love with Young Master?"


    " I¡­ I don''t know. I really¡­don''t know."


    " Well, Let''s talk about your jealousy first." Xiao''er sat on a stone, gesturing for Mu Qinglian to sit too.


    " Elder Sister Mu, I am afraid that there is no solution for this. Because Young Master is destined to have many women beside him."


    " Doesn''t that make him a pervert and lecher?" Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but grumble.


    " Well, Rather than thinking like that, I think Young Master is just a natural charmer. Besides, he never forces any women to stay beside him. So, how can he be a pervert?"


    " Bu-But¡­I just¡­ Ugh!"


    " Hehe, I believe Sister Mu is hiding something. What is it?"


    " Xiao''er, Do you believe in prophecy?" Mu Qinglian sighed as she looked at her.


    " What if I tell you¡­Long Ming might be the one who was supposed to be my future husband?"


    .


    .


    .


    " Uhm, Big Sister Meng, What are you doing here?"


    " What? Am I not wee here, Little Brother Long?" Meng Zhi slowly took off her outer robe, showing off her revealing attire before Long Ming.


    " Of course, Big Sister Meng." Long Ming felt his throat turning dry from the scene. " Bu-But, Why are you taking off your clothes?"


    Somehow, he felt like the invisible seductive charm of Meng Zhi increased at an rming rate.


    " Why not?" Meng Zhi grinned. " The wine you gave in the banquet was too intoxicating. Little brother. And now, I am feeling tipsy and hot all over my body. I am sure I can be free before you, right?"


    " Sure¡­However¡­"


    " However." Meng Zhi cut in, walking towards Long Ming. " I didn''te here just to be free, Little brother."


    " Then?"


    " I am here to reward you, for all your help." Meng Zhi suddenly pushes Long Ming on the bed, pinning him down beneath her.


    " Big Sister¡­Mnnph!~"


    Meng Zhi''s actions were swift, capturing Long Ming''s lips with her own. Their tongues slowly interwind, making Long Ming''s breath hitch.


    Their lips parted as Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming hungrily. " Little Brother, I have been suppressing myself from a long time. But I guess¡­I had enough of it."


    " And, I am sure it won''t be quite gentlemanly to reject ady''s advances, right?"


    Before Long Ming could reply, Meng Zhi pulled down his pants, making his hardened little brother spring out. Meng Zhi gasped as she wrapped her fingers around Long Ming''s shaft, gently teasing the tip.


    " Tsk, Your mouth is unwilling, yet your body is pretty honest, Little Brother."


    " Heh, It''s just¡­a natural reaction, Sister Meng." Long Ming chortled, looking at Meng Zhi.


    " Well, If the natural reaction is this hard and stiff¡­then I wonder what the voluntary reaction would be¡­" Meng Zhi grinned as she gently stroked Long Ming''s hardened staff, making him gasp softly.


    " You know, After joining the Four Seasons Valley, I thought I escaped my past. But to think Blissful Heaven Temple was also a part of my enemy''s faction."


    " From that day, I used all my strength and wits, trying to suppress the Blissful Heaven Temple. However, I just couldn''t do it. All I can do is to suppress their businesses and their disciples."


    " But you¡­You changed everything. You gave me the light in my darkness. You made me walk closer to my vengeance, killing those demonic bitches who controlled the Blissful Heaven Temple."


    Long Ming could feel the shift in Meng Zhi''s mood as he raised his palms, rubbing her cheeks.


    " Sister Meng, Calm down. You already killed the Sect Master of Blissful Heaven Temple and captured the sect."


    " You should now rx¡­ And¡­Stroke a little slow, Ugh."


    " Ahh! I am¡­I am so sorry, Little Brother."


    Meng Zhi came back to her senses as she saw the pink tip of Long Ming''s rod already turned red and swollen. " I¡­ Damn it! How can I be so irresponsible?!"


    " Well, You are¡­"


    " Hehe¡­Then, I should alleviate your pain, Little Brother.


    With a swing on her palm, a bottle appeared out of nowhere. When Meng Zhi opened the cork, the fragrance of wine drifted out from it.


    " This¡­Four Seasons True Wine? No¡­It''s the Song of Summer and Winter."


    Long Ming recognized the scent right away, wondering what Meng Zhi going to do with it. Meng Zhi took a sip as her lips curled into a devious smirk.


    Suddenly, lowering her head, she swallowed Long Ming''s stiff meat rod. With a swift motion, she swallowed therge appendage as a whole, her lips wrapping the base of the staff.


    Long Ming gasped as he almost felt a shiver from the root of his manhood. The wine along with Meng Zhi''s tongue created a strange symphony, making his body wriggle in pleasure.


    '' How is it, Little Brother? Am I making you feel good?''


    Meng Zhi''s voice echoed in his heart as her head moved up and down. The wine bubbled in her mouth, covering his shaft which was being teased by her tongue.


    The feeling of chilling cold and stinging hotness from the wine, with Meng Zhi''s mouth technique, made Long Ming''s pleasure reach its peak instantly.


    " Nnggh! Sister Meng¡­You are just¡­too¡­"


    But then, the room door opened as Mu Qinglian and Xiao''er walked inside.


    " Long Ming, I want to talk-"


    *PSSSHHH*


    Meng Zhi could feel the Long Ming''s rod throbbing as it ejacted a load of thick white essence in her mouth, almost making her gag.


    Hearing Mu Qinglian''s voice, Meng Zhi turned around with a smirk. The wine and droplets of Long Ming''s essence fell on her cleavage, making the scene very erotic.


    " Oh, Qingqing¡­Do you wish to¡­join us?"


    Mu Qinglian turned statue for a moment before anger, shame, and jealousy swallowed her.


    " Hmph!"


    With a snort, she turned around and rushed away.


    " Sister Mu! Wait!"


    " No, You can''t go right now." Meng Zhi stopped Long Ming. " We just finished the appetizer. The main course is next."

 Chapter 276 Punishing Bad Meng Zhi (R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 276 Punishing Bad Meng Zhi (R-18)</h4>


    Long Ming tried to say something, but Meng Zhi''s attitude made him speechless.


    " You angered Senior Sister. What are you going to do now?"


    " Well, Don''t worry about her." Meng Zhi grinned. " As I said, I shall take care of her."


    " Hmph, You have been showing quite some attitude the moment you came here, Big Sister Meng." Long Ming narrowed his eyes as he stood up.


    " Oh? Little brother Long is acting high and mighty now, hm?" Meng Zhi pursed her lips. " What are you going to do now, Hn? Going to punish me?"


    Ling Ming''s lips curled when he heard that. " Why not? You are getting more and more unruly, Lady. Perhaps, youck the discipline of a man."


    " Hoh? Then why don''t you show me, True Disciple Long Ming."


    Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming with an air of defiance, making the situation hotter than before.


    " Then, Allow me to show you the body of a real man, Big Sister Meng."


    Long Ming slowly took off his remaining clothes, revealing his masculine body in the dimmplight. His body was muscr, but not too much buffed. It was a perfect blend of lean and buffed, which was proportional to his height and physique.


    He tied his long hair with a pin so they wouldn''t bother him during the sex. He looked at his cock, seeing stains of wine and white fluids smeared on it.


    " Meng Zhi, you should clean my shaft properly."


    Meng Zhi was surprised when the usual yful voice of Long Ming took a deep and authoritative tone.


    " Wh-What do you mean¡­"


    " I said, lick it clean properly."


    Meng Zhi instantly fell on her knees before Long Ming, her pink tongue darting out to lick his cock clean.


    " Mnnh¡­"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but gasp at the sensation as Meng Zhi''s tongue roamed over his shaft. The feeling was simply amazing as she slowly licked around his shaft like a popsicle.


    The tip of her tongue licked every bit of Long Ming''s shaft clean, tasting the mixed taste of wine and his essence.


    " Uoohh! That ce¡­"


    Meng Zhi grinned as her lips gently mped the hanging jewel sack of Long Ming, making him gasp in pleasure. Using her tongue and soft lips, she suckled and teased it, making his cock harder than ever.


    The salty and slimy precum already started to ooze down, showing the arousal level of Long Ming. However, he calmed his heart andmanded once again.


    " Enough, You cleaned it well. Now stand up."


    Meng Zhi nodded as she stood up. Looking at Long Ming, she gave a coy smile.


    " Before I listen to your furthermands, I would like to ask you one thing."


    " Speak." Long Ming didn''t let down his cold attitude.


    " How did you know that thing about me? How did you know my little secret?"


    " What are you t walking about?" Long Ming gave a cold grin, not giving in to Meng Zhi''s question. He forced Meng Zhi to reveal her secret by herself.


    " My little secret¡­" Meng Zhi bit her lips. " That I am¡­submissive and wanted to be dominated."


    " Heh, I naturally know it, Meng Zhi." Long Ming spoke in an arrogant tone. But a faint smile still escaped from his lips.


    " However, I don''t think I have time or patience to exin this to you."


    Meng Zhi always acted as a big female pervert, overbearing and extrovert. Not to mention, the dominating ara ara energy around her which can be seen with a blind''s eyes.


    However, being with Meng Zhi, Long Ming realized that although it was a part of her, she used this as a mask to hide her own vulnerability.


    Even when he cured her Evil Yin Moon Qi and when she killed the Blissful Heaven Temple members with frenzy. Long Ming saw the mask of Meng Zhi slipping away.


    '' Not to mention, the most dominating person also has the most submissive kink. And, I finally realized today.'' Long Ming grinned inwardly. But he kept looking at Meng Zhi coldly,


    " Fine, my dear little brother." Meng Zhi bit her lips as she lowered her gaze. " As tonight''s reward, I shall obey you like your little ve."


    " You better do." Long Ming chortled as he got on the bed and leaned against the pillow like an emperor. " Now, strip before me while swaying your hips."


    " As you say, Master."


    Meng Zhi grinned as she swayed her hips enticingly, gently taking off her sexy dress. As the dress slowly fell down, her ample and curvacious figure appeared before Long Ming.


    Her motherly breasts stood perky like a pair of perfect mountains, not to mention her ass was like the plumpest cake She spun her body, showing off her curves to Long Ming.


    " How am I looking, Master? All good?" Meng Zhi cooed. " The night is very cold, Master. I can''t live without your warm body."


    " You sure good at words. But, I have to check the performance by myself." Long Ming chuckled as he gestured for her toe towards him.


    As she got on the bed, Long Ming took out a coin and tossed it. Meng Zhi was surprised when she saw the results, It was Heads.


    " Good, I shall do from back." Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi. " Now, get on your all fours and stick out that plump ass."


    " As youmand, Master."


    Meng Zhi took a wine ss and drank a mouthful of wine, rinsing her mouth. Then she got on her, her breasts hanging gently below him.


    Her ass quivered with anticipation, feeling the lustful gaze of Long Ming on it. Long Ming chuckled as he caressed her smooth ass cheeks, giving it a light p.


    *PAA*


    The sound was crisp, making Meng Zhi whimper as her ass sticl out even more.


    " Elder Meng, due to your scheme, my senior sister misunderstood me. Now, I shall punish you for your transgression."


    " I¡­ I ept your punishment, Master. AHnn!~"


    Long Ming licked his fingers before they slipped into her sacred well, rubbing against her swollen lips. The moment he rubbed them, he could feel some wetness oozing out, making Meng Zhi''s body shiver.


    " What a promiscuous woman. You already getting wet just me touching there, huh?"


    " Ahnn!~ Yes! I am a bad woman!" Meng Zhi''s cooed. Her voice was seductive enough to make men''s bone turn jelly.


    " Please punish this bad woman!~"


    " Very well¡­"


    Rubbing his cock, Long Ming positioned himself before her wet entrance as he held her hips.


    " Nnghh!~ I can feel it!" Meng Zhi gasped. " The tip..it''s slowly getting inside."


    " Ahnn! It''s getting in! Master''s cock is in my pussy!"


    Since she was already wet, Long Ming was easily able to prate her. With a light snort, he thrust forward, showing his entire shaft inside Meng Zhi''s sacred well.


    At first, he felt it was a bitx, but then..the walls around his cock tightened as he pierced forward.


    " Haah! Haah¡­Not bad¡­It''s bigger than I expected." Meng Zhi panted as she closed her eyes, feeling Long Ming slowly pulling out.


    However, as he pulled out, Long Ming gave another thrust, making his cock hit new depths inside Meng Zhi''s sacred well.


    " Uwwooughh!~ It''s hitting there! Ahnn!"


    *PAA! PAA! PAA! PAA!"


    Long Ming was in no hurry as he pounded Meng Zhi in a slow and deep rhythm.


    " Ahnn! Ahnnn!~ Heavennnss!~ It feels¡­Nnnghh¡­So good!~"


    Suddenly, she felt Long Ming yanking both of her arms from behind, holding them like reins before increasing his speed. His hips now moved faster, making Meng Zhi''s moan louder and clearer.


    " What a slut! Your pussy is gobbling my cock so bad." Long Ming snorted as he thrusted faster. However, he was shocked in his heart.


    '' Fuck! Why does it feels so good! It''s like a small, fleshly ckhole, sucking me down there!''


    " Hehe, So, Master is..enjoying this ve''s body?"


    " Hmph, Dare to question your master?"


    *PAA! PAA!*


    Red palm marks appeared on her fair ass cheeks as Long Ming pped them with right strength.


    " Uwaahh!~ Spank me harder, Master! Punish this slutty ve!"


    *PAA! PAA!*


    Each p made her ass ripple. Long Ming gasped for air as he felt Meng Zhi getting tighter after each p, making his cock squeeze between walls of slippery soft flesh.


    " Master''s cock is so amazing! It''s hitting my cervix so¡­


    puurrftly!~"


    Only after half an hour, Long Ming realized he couldn''t go on. With another p, he panted.


    " Hmph! I am going to release now."


    " Yes, Master!" Meng Zhi grinned as her dirty words kept Long Ming arousing. " Fill this vessel with your fresh seeds.


    " Hnngh! I am cumming!"


    " I am cumming too, Master!~"


    Meng Zhi''s eyes rolled back in pleasure as she could feel a gush of warm fluid filling her sacred well. Long Ming panted as he pulled out his cock, making his white fluid drip down from Meng Zhi''s hole.


    " Fufufu!~ Master, I have to admit¡­Your strength is quite something."


    Long Ming''s eyes turned wide when he saw Meng Zhi slowly turn around.


    " However¡­I believe both of us still have a lot of stamina to spend."


    " This bitch¡­"


    Long Ming gulped when he saw the predatory look in Meng Zhi''s eyes as she slowly crawled toward him.


    However, it didn''t stop making his limp member erect once again.


    As a wise cat said¡­


    " Would."


    .


    .


    .


    The above sentence is reference of the cat saying ''Would'' on mic meme.

 Chapter 277 Meng Zhi’s Secret Past (R-18)

    <h4>Chapter 277 Meng Zhi''s Secret Past (R-18)</h4>


    " Tsk tsk!, What a virile body you have, Master. I believe you are still hungry, no?"


    Long Ming felt a light shiver when he looked at Meng Zhi''s expression. She was like a tiger who tasted delicious human blood.


    And since she tasted it, there is no way she is going back. However, this made Long Ming even more stubborn. Since they are ying the role of Master and ve, how can the Master admit defeat so fast?


    " Bold! You dare to belittle your Master?" Long Ming snorted as he got up, his cock erecting once again. Meng Zhi licked her lips as she leaned on the bed, spreading her legs wide.


    A trail of white fluid still dripped out from her sacred well, making her look even more arousing.


    " Master, Please punish this bad ve."


    " Hmph!"


    Long Ming snorted as he pounced on Meng Zhi like a tiger, pinning her down beneath him. With a swift movement, his hips moved, piercing the sacred gates of Meng Zhi with his manlynce once again.


    This time, both of their muscle memories recognized each other. It was like a perfect fitting key and lock. Meng Zhi was going to tease Long Ming again, but the deep thrust turned her words into moans, making her jerk back her head.


    " Ahnnn!~ How can¡­How can it hit all the spots¡­at once!"


    " Hmph, Meng Zhi, Oh Meng Zhi¡­You made a grave mistake by underestimating me." Long Ming gave a wicked grin as his hips continued to move, making Meng Zhi''s body move with his.


    '' No, I have to be serious. Meng Zhi''s body is like a demoness. I can''t be careless.'' Long Ming''s eyes shone with a purple sheen as he felt his Incubus Bloodline igniting with all its might.


    Not to mention, he also activated his Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Springs Art.


    The Fragrant Yin Qi swirled around him, like a storm made from plum blossoms petals. The entire room turned into a beautiful spring scenery of night.


    Long Ming leaned forward, kissing Meng Zhi while thrusting even deeper. He silenced her with a passionate kiss, not even letting her moan.


    Meng Zhi''s body shivered as she felt Long Ming''s palm rubbing her perfect breasts, and pinching her nipples to stimte them. She whimpered, and her whimper was swallowed by Long Ming''s kiss.


    '' Mmmngh¡­So this is what sex feels like. Haah, it''s nothingpared to the toys I used in past.''


    '' Haah, Long Ming, Oh Dear¡­Why¡­Why didn''t I meet you a few hundred years ago? Why?''


    '' However, even now¡­he is making up all my past regrets with this pleasure.''


    Various thoughts ran in Meng Zhi''s mind, stimted by the leisure given by Long Ming. She felt like she waspletely dominated by Long Ming, who seemed to know every pleasure point of her body.


    Long Ming''s expression changed when he felt Meng Zhi''s legs locking around her waist, making him unable to go back.


    " Hehe~ Master, Now you can''t go."


    Meng Zhi gave a sultry grin as she looked at Long Ming''s sweaty face, which was right above her.


    " Oh? Is that so?" Long Ming scoffed. " Then what do you want to do?"


    Meng Zhi''s grin widened as she traced Long Ming''s masculine jawline with her finger.


    " I am nning to squeeze you dry tonight, Master. Punish this evil woman by dumping all your load inside me."


    " Heh, As you wish."


    " Ahnn!~ You are plowing me so¡­Fast." Meng Zhi panted, her eyes rolling back in pleasure.


    " Hnngh!~ It feels like¡­my inside walls are getting stretched open by you."


    Meng Zhi didn''t hold back her moans, using her words like perfect weapons to increase Long Ming''s lust.


    " Nnnnngh!~ Dear, I am cumming!"


    " Haah! Meng Zhi, I cumming too!"


    Meng Zhi locked her legs around Long Ming even tighter, making him hit even deeper spots. Suddenly, she felt the familiar gush of warm fluid, making her womb warm once again.


    Both of their body quivered for some moments before rxing. The Fragrant Yin Qi connected their flow of energy.


    Long Ming received a fast amount of Fragran Yin Qi while Meng Zhi received pure energy from Long Ming which refined her Evil Moon Yin Qi in her body.


    However, Meng Zhi leaned forward as she whispered seductively in Long Ming''s ears once again.


    " Does Master need rest? Or¡­"


    " Rest?" Long Ming snorted with a grin.


    " Get ready for round three."


    .


    .


    .


    Both of them didn''t slept that night, filling the room with scent of lust and passion. It was around dawn when both of them finally spent, with Meng Zhi lying on Long Ming''s body like a kitten.


    '' Fuck! I doubt I can even walk now.''


    It wasn''t Meng Zhi''s, but Long Ming''s though. He truly felt dried out for the fast time.


    " Hmm¡­ You sure didn''t eat Turtle Soup or Leopard''s Guts?"


    " Big Sister Meng, Do you think I am someone who cheats by eating supplements?" Long Ming rolled his eyes when he heard that.


    " Ufufu¡­You are really a bad guy, Little Brother." Meng Zhi giggled as she gently pinched his cheek. " I am sure a lot of women going to scream your name."


    " Oh, I would love to do that." Long Ming grinned.


    " But¡­Why didn''t you ask anything about that?"


    "About what?"


    " About me not bleeding?" Meng Zhi bit her lips. " You didn''t feel awkward when you realized I am not a virgin?"


    " Not to mention, I am the master of Eternal Spring Tower, known for my promiscuous personality. Mingling with various men and catering to their wishes¡­"


    " You want me to think you as a slut?" Long Ming chuckled. " Why would I?"


    " At this moment, You are only thinking of me. At this moment, the only person you love is me, Big Sister Meng."


    " Virginity isn''t a big matter, but loyalty andmitment is."


    " Not to mention¡­" Long Ming smacked his lips. " You felt so good¡­I can''t say anything against you even if I want to."


    " But you feel so experienced, Sister Meng." Long Ming grinned. " How many times have you done it with others?"


    " Why don''t you guess?" Meng Zhi replied with a yful tone.


    " I shall say¡­once." Long Ming gave an all knowing smile. " I know this is your first time."


    " My my¡­What a sharp little brother I have." Meng Zhi''s eyes squinted a bit as sheughed out.


    Stretching her arms, she slowly got up. However, she didn''t bother to cover herself, letting her curves shine before Long Ming with all their glory under the dim sunlight.


    " Well then¡­Please help me to understand you, Big Sister Meng." Long Ming chuckled. Meng Zhi turned around as she leaned against the pillow, pouring two sses of wine, and passing a ss to Long Ming.


    " Yes, I was a virgin. And you are my first man, Little Brother Long. As for why I was so vigorous¡­Because I practice the Seven Blissful Lunar Body Arts."


    " It all started in Central Province, where I was born at." Meng Zhi smiled lightly as she finally revealed her past to Long Ming.


    " I joined a small sect called Xuzhou Sect. However, my talent was top notch and I quickly reached the True Core Formation Realm, rivaling outer sect elders. I even became a Core disciple."


    " However, one day, we got attacked by an unorthodox sect called Yin Pleasure Hall. All the male disciples were killed and female disciples and elders were taken captive."


    " After I got caught, they found out that I possessed a Royal Grade Physique called Seven Moon Royal Physique. It''s a powerful Yin attribute physique, making them greedy for my body."


    " Unlike my other fellow disciples who were reduced to cultivation cauldrons and sold to various powerful people, I was forced to cultivate in Yin Pleasure Hall."


    " They destroyed my cultivation and applied restrictions in my body. They also gave me a problematic cultivation technique to cultivate, which would umte pure Yin Qi in my body and turn me into a perfect cauldron."


    " But I found a secret technique and used a pestle to rip my hymen, making them believe that I was no longer a virgin. This made my value lost more than half and I got a bit free from surveince."


    " But one day, a righteous sect attacked the branch of Yin Pleasure Hall. During that battle, the leader of Yin Pleasure Hall got seriously injured and forced to escape,"


    " I already seduced her by then and I helped him to escape. As we were resting in a secluded cave, I used that chance to kill her."


    " But that whore was pretty clever and injured me severely. However, I finally killed her in the end. But she trigged a restriction in my body, making my Seven Moon Royal Body go berserk."


    " Thankfully, I found a Royal Grade Cultivation Technique and other resources from her spatial ring. And to escape from the remaining viin''s pursuit and gain strength, I escaped here."


    " The Blissful Heaven Temple was also affiliated with Yin Pleasure Hall. That''s why I always hated them." Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming with a smile.


    " So, Thank you for returning my strength to me and destroying Blissful Heaven Temple."


    Long Ming was stunned when he heard that. Suddenly, he pulled Meng Zhi into her embrace, kissing her deeply.


    " With me now, No one will ever hurt you, Big Sister Meng."


    " Oh Little Brother Long¡­"


    " Saying that." Long Ming looked at her with a wicked grin. " You said I am your first man. But hearing your past¡­I believe you had your way with women too."


    " Is it possible that you and Master¡­"


    Meng Zhi was stunned when she heard the rich imagination from Long Ming''s mind.


    " Pervert!"


    " What?"

 Chapter 278 Natal Weapon’s Power

    <h4>Chapter 278 Natal Weapon''s Power</h4>


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is nodding with approval. He is finally contented after seeing Meng Zhi with Host]


    [ Ding! Demon Monarch of Lust looking at Meng Zhi with curiosity. He is saying that she would be a perfect apostle]


    [ Ding! Great Sun Bald General is scoffing. He is saying indulging with women would scrap the bones of Host]


    [ Ding! Harem King of Nine World is calling it bullshit. He is saying, " Silence! Virgin]


    [ Constetions started to spam]


    Long Ming rolled his eyes when he saw the messages spamming one after another. He closed the system window and saw Meng Zhi getting up.


    Looking at the red palm mark on her ass made Long Ming utterly satisfied. '' En, They look perfect.''


    [ Ding! Prodigal Young Master System''s beta testing period shall end today. Asking Host to finish the daily mission and spend all Credits]


    [ Daily Quest item has arrived: Host received 1000 ve Branding Marks]


    [ ve Branding Mark: A mark which applies restriction on a person''s soul, making them a ve. The life and death of the ve will depend on the Master''s wish. It''s very difficult to erase the resitriction without harming the soul]


    [ Time Limit: 1 day]


    [ Reward: 10,000 credits]


    [ Failure: -20,000 credits]


    Long Ming raised his brows when he saw the description of the ve Branding Mark.


    The reason for the reward being so high because the trickiness of applying the branding to others. One needs to restrain the person first and then, it will take a few minutes till the brand is fully applied to the soul.


    Not to mention, it has to do one by one, making the task utterly time consuming. And finding a thousand people in a day would be very hard without fighting.


    After all, very few people would willingly be someone''s ves, giving the thread of their life and death to others.


    However, Long Ming had a perfect n in his mind.?" Sister Meng, Wait for a moment."


    " Ara~ What happened, Little Brother?" Meng Zhi turned around and gave a sultry nce to Long Ming. " Perhaps¡­ you want some morning rewards?"


    Long Ming shuddered as he waved his hands. " Not that, Big Sister Meng. I wanted to ask you about the Blissful Heaven Temple."


    " Oh? What about them?"


    " The disciples, what are you going to do with their disciples?" Long Ming asked.


    " Well, We will ce restrictions on them and send them to farawaynds for mining resources for us. As for the women¡­" Meng Zhi chuckled deviously.


    " They shall increase revenue in our Eternal Spring Tower."


    " Tsk, How devious." Long Ming grinned. " How about this? I have a thousand ve Branding Marks. Can you please use all of them in one day?"


    " A thousand, You say?" Meng Zhi was surprised. " I guess it would do."


    " You need to spend it in a single day, Big Sister Meng." Long Ming put emphasize on the time limit. " Otherwise, they will be waste."


    " Hoho, I guess I need to speed up then." Meng Zhi giggled. " Worry not, Little Brother. I shall use them within a day."


    Long Ming nodded with satisfaction as he gave her a thousand marks with all the instructions.


    Draping a loose robe on her curvy body, Meng Zhi adjusted her hair and turned to leave. However, her steps were wobbly, making Long Ming chuckle.


    " Heh, Be casreful, Big Sister Meng. Your legs seems to be very weak."


    " All thanks to you, Little Brother." Meng Zhi smirked as she swayed her hips even more before leaving.


    Long Ming chuckled as he stretched his arms with a yawn. As he ced his feet on ground, he couldn''t help but stumble.


    " Fuck! My waist¡­And my legs¡­"


    With a bitter grin, Long Ming slowly walked out. When he got outside, he saw Xiao''er cleaning the courtyard. Looking at Long Ming, she couldn''t help but blush a bit.


    " Good Morning, Young Master."


    " En, Good Morning, Xiao''er." Long Ming nodded. " You¡­What happenedst night? Senior Sister must be very mad, right?"


    " Not only Sister Mu though." Xiao''er replied curtly. Long Ming was dumbfounded, unable to understand what Xiao''er meant by that.


    " Let me see¡­Sister Chen Yin, Lin Xie, Shui Huan¡­" Xiao''er counted as she looked at Long Ming. " Especially Sister Ming Yuexin, she was utterly mad at Elder Meng Zhi."


    Long Ming was speechless when he heard that. '' What the hell are you doing, lining outside my house like that?''


    '' Did all of you came for a private party like Meng Zhi?''


    " You and Elder Meng were so loud, Young Master." Xiao''er rolled her eyes. " Even I couldn''t sleepst night."


    " Well, I have to admit¡­I got a bit carried awayst night." Long Ming scratched his head. " But I have to admit¡­ It was quite delicious¡­"


    But he paused when he saw Xiao''er look of resentment and jealousy.


    '' Don''t tell me you also wanted¡­'' Long Ming smiled wryly as he changed the topic. " Anyway, I am a bit tired today, so I won''t go down from the mountain."


    " Xiao''er, Go down and oversee the newly recruited disciples. Use the assessment method I gave to you and see who among them are good at supplementary departments other than immortal cultivation."


    " As you say, Young Master." Xiao''er nodded as she turned around and left.


    " Haah, It''s indeed difficult to manage a harem." Long Ming couldn''t help but sigh.


    '' But, I have already gathered enough points. Let''s purchase the Sky Lightning Crown.''


    Opening the Prodigal Young Master System''s store, Long Ming purchased the Sky Lightning Crown with 50,000 Credits. And even after that, there were still 30,000 Credits remaining.


    '' Hmm, There are a lot of otherworldly materials here. I should purchase something unavable here.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    '' Huh? What''s this?''


    [ Great Judgement Sword: A sword made with intent of appraising and killing enemies. It has the skill <Judgement> . It helps the wielder to detect the opponent''s weakness, attacking that point fatally. Damage to the weak points increased by 300%. It also contains Wind and Fire Attribute energy]


    [ Warning: The skill <Judgement> can be only utlized with this sword]


    [ Price: 25,000 Credits]


    After a moment of pondering, Long Ming purchased the sword.Suddenly, a broadsword appeared before Long Ming, with a golden border and ornate hilt, with a crystal on the tang.


    However, when he touched the edge of the sword, Long Ming couldn''t help but hiss.


    " This sword¡­the material is too bad. It''s almost the same as an Xuan Grade weapon. The skill <Judgement> is very good, but there is a fatal w. But due to its poor quality, even if the damage stacks, it won''t do much harm."


    However, at that moment, he felt a sudden surge in his body. It came deep from his divine sea, a familiar feeling struck his heart.


    '' This¡­Could it be¡­''


    With a wave of his hands, Long Ming took out a giant ck orb, which was swirling with multicolored lights. Suddenly, the ck ball shot toward the Great Judgement Sword.


    *CRUNCH! CRUNCH!*


    The broadsword got devoured by the ck orb, making it look like a child munching on a snack. Long Ming''s eyes turned wide when he saw the sword broken into pieces and swallowed by the ck orb.


    That ck orb was none other than his natal weapon, which Long Ming used the best materials to refine. But rather than being a particr weapon, it turned into a pitch ck orb, like a ck hole.


    Suddenly, Long Ming felt a strange connection as he saw the orb glowing with a dim radiance. It was like itpleted its final metamorphosis.


    Out of instinct, Long Ming raised his hands and poured his will into the orb.


    The orb shot towards his palm and turned into a ck metal slime, shining and changing shapes in Long Ming''s hand. Slowly, it turned into the Great Judgement Sword, like its perfect copy.


    '' This¡­''


    Long Ming''s eyes turned wide when he realized the endless possibilities of the orb. After a while, he changed the color and shape of the sword, all ording to his will.


    " Judgment!"


    With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming nced at a tree, seeing a few red points on its stump. To his surprise, he could use the <Judgement> skill even with his new sword.


    '' But now, The game is different. The materials are superior, and with my control, the <Judgement> skill can easily take down enemies of higher level!>


    Sitting down, he yed with the ck ball¡­the ck orb a few more times before understanding its ability.


    With his spiritual qi, he could see a small space inside the orb. And it was upied by a small apparition of the Great Judgement Sword.


    As he tried to swallow another weapon, the orb was simply unable to do so.


    '' So, I need to keep nourishing the orb to increase the space inside, so it can imitate more weapons?''


    Long Ming understood its principles. As for how to feed it¡­It feeds almost everything. Especially the metals, spirit stones and spirit jade works well.


    Long Ming almost emptied all his materials, only to increase the size of the inner space by a small margin.


    '' Well, If it can simply devour everything with ease, it would be too powerful. Not to mention, Natal weapon supposed to grow with the user itself.'' Long Ming gave an understanding nod.


    " But now, I guess I should ascend to the Harmonization realm and cross Minor Physique Tribtion of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique."

 Chapter 279 Mu Qinglians Feelings

    Chapter 279 Mu Qinglian''s Feelings


    " Young Lady¡­ Young Lady Mu¡­"


    " What is it, Ling''er?"


    " Someone wishes to meet you, Young Lady."


    " Didn''t I say? I am not going to meet anyone today." Mu Qinglian spoke in an annoyed voice. " Tell them I am cultivating."


    " Ara~ I didn''t know Saintess Mu could tantly tell a lie like this."


    Mu Qinglian''s body shivered when she heard the familiar voice. " Elder Meng, I am not in a good mood right now. So, it would be better if you leave right away."


    Meng Zhi chuckled when she heard that. " Ah, Such a cold tone. You learned that from Elder Sister Xia, didn''t you."


    Mu Qinglian sighed, realizing this seductress wasn''t going anytime soon. " I¡­Haah¡­Big Sister Meng, You know I am angry right now, no?"


    " You are angry? For what?" Meng Zhi sat before Mu Qinglian sigh a small smile. " Angry because I slept with Long Ming?"


    " Yes."


    " But why?" Meng Zhi rubbed her chin, bing thoughtful. " I mean, Why would you? You are simply his senior sister, No?"


    " I¡­ No! I am not!" Mu Qinglian couldn''t help but get chided.


    " Anyone knows?" Meng Zhi looked at Mu Qinglian. " Anyone knows that you love Long Ming romantically?"


    " I¡­I told him about that though¡­" Mu Qinglian''s voice turned small. But then she gazed at MenG Zhi. " But, Isn''t that inappropriate? For an elder like you to¡­engage¡­with such things¡­with a disciple?"


    " Who made such rules. I don''t think there are any rules like that here?" Meng Zhi pursed her lips. " Not to mention, Long Ming''s title of True Disciple is simr to the positions of Elders."


    " But just why?"


    " Why not?" Meng Zhi shrugged. " He already helped me a lot. So, In return, I gave him a gift. It''s not like I forced him to sleep with me? Both of us consented."


    " Let me ask you again, Qingqing, Why are you angry?" Meng Zhi looked at her. " Ah, So you are thinking him as your prophesied husband, hum?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Mu Qinglian bit her lips when she heard that. " Yes! I thought so! So what?!"


    " Well, The problem is.." Meng Zhi chuckled. " You didn''t tell Long Ming about that, did you?"


    " Qingqing, You always tries to suppress your feeling, appearing cold to outside. Due to that, you didn''t conveyed the feelings of your heart to Long Ming."


    " How could he know about your feelings if you don''t tell him? He isn''t a roundworm in your stomach."


    " I¡­ I just felt¡­"


    " You felt he naturally belongs to you, no?" Meng Zhi shook her head. " Just because you heard that men chases after women, you thought making Long Ming confess to you first."


    " However, you forgot one thing. Long Ming isn''t just any ordinary man. His charm, his capabilities, his talent, everything he possess was simply too high."


    " With a flick of his finger, any woman would fall for him. For such a perfect man, it would be women whopete with each other."


    " Now, If you remain cold towards him, why wouldn''t he go after others, rather thaning to you?"


    Mu Qinglian sighed as she lowered her head. Her eyes already glistening with tears.


    " But¡­I just want him to love me¡­only me."


    " Haah, It was indeed hard, Qingqing." Meng Zhi smiled bitterly. " Not to mention, he is someone who can''t be sated with a single woman."


    " Yet, I believe he never treated any of his lover badly. For any of his woman, he is willing to risk himself to save her. So, I don''t believe he is being partial."


    " Qingqing, Try toprehend my words." Meng Zhi smiled. " Sometimes, It''s alright to open up yourself. Sometimes, It''s alright to convey your feelings to your loved ones."


    " So, Don''t try to shoulder all the burdens by yourself. You should try sharing it."


    " I¡­ I Understand, Elder Sister Meng." Mu Qinglian sighed. " It''s just that¡­I feel Long Ming simply just can''t walk with his pants on. Everytime he sees a beauty, he just goes after her."


    " Well, I can''t do anything about his nature." Meng Zhi shrugged. " Each person has their own ws, right?"


    " But he is too pervert."


    " Ah, Yes. That''s something I will admit." Meng Zhi grinned. " Actually, Your prophecy¡­I only remember a small part of it. Wasn''t it the old schr from Central Province?"


    " Yes, It was him."


    Mu Qinglian finally spoke what it was.


    Heavenly Empress Crimson Sky prophesied about the great cmity and downfall of Four Seasons Valley, with a savior saving it in the end.


    Simrly, years ago, when Mu Qinglian was newly appointed as the Saintess of Four Seasons Valley, a famed daoist from Central Province visited Four Seasons Valley.


    Due to the goodwill from Empress Crimson Sky''s era, the daoist decided to help the Four Seasons Valley from some troubles. At that moment, Mu Qinglian was very curious, asking him about her marriage.


    " Your love life is too unusual, Little girl." The amicable old manughed lightly, rubbing his white beard. "It simply contains many ups and downs, like mountains and rivers."


    " Your spouse has an otherworldly aura, a handsome young man transcending life and death. He will fall into your life like a meteor, and help you to lift your problems, like sun scattering clouds."


    " However¡­I can also see a green line. I guess you are going to be pretty jealous¡­and probably, your spouse will have a lot of affairs other than you."


    Meng Zhiughed out loud when she heard Mu Qinglian reciting that daoist''s prophecy.


    " Haha, How true¡­He really guessed everything." Meng Zhi chortled. " However, I believe Qingqing is truly someone who lost quite a lot."


    " Long Ming already tasted a lot of beauties, and you are still thinking about him."


    " From now, start treating every girl as yourpetitor and try winning his heart." " So, Even you are my enemy, Big Sister Meng?" Mu Qinglian nced at Meng Zhi.


    " Why not?" Meng Zhi gave a sultry grin. " However, winning against me would be very hard, dear."


    " Hmph, We shall see about that." Mu Qinglian pursed her lips before getting up.


    " Thank you, Big Sister Meng, for clearing my thoughts. Now, I feel very light hearted."


    " Since that''s the case, Why don''t youe to Blissful Heaven Temple with me?" Meng Zhi chuckled. " I am sure you can blow off some frustrations there."


    " Tsk, Elder Sister Meng, You are quite devious, aren''t you?" Mu Qinglian''s lips curled.


    " Very well, Consider this as Blissful Heaven Temple''s bad luck."


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Meanwhile, Long Ming was looking at the ck orb with curiosity. '' Perhaps, the superior ingridients, the aura of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique, and my luck, turned my natal weapon into something unexpected.''


    '' Does that mean I can easily feed it Imperial Weapons? Won''t it make it more powerful?''


    '' Not to mention, I wonder what else it can absorb? Can it absorb people and extract their skills too? No¡­I don''t think it eats living things¡­For now at least.''


    " Alright, Dear¡­I shall give you a new name then." Long Ming held the ck orb as he nodded.


    " World Devouring Seal¡­.You shall be called my World Devouring Seal."


    Suddenly, the ck orb shone with a dim radiance as it turned into a golden seal. With various intricate patterns embedded, in the middle, there was a ck dragon whose mouth was open.


    Turning into a ray, it entered Long Ming''s body, resting in his divine sea.


    '' Now, Let''s see my physique.''


    Taking out the Sky Lightning Crown, Long Ming thought about starting his Minor Physique Tribtion.


    However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.


    [ Ding! Constetion Great Crow of Dark Mystery is suggesting Host to not use it during the Minor Tribtion]


    " Huh? Why?" Long Ming was baffled. " I believe it''s going to be ten times stronger than an Imperial Physique Tribtion. How can I not use it if it guarantees my safety?"


    [ Ding! Constetion Great Crow of Dark Mystery is shaking his head. He is saying that although it''s very dangerous to cross the tribtion without the crown, it was worth it]


    [ A tribtion is not only a punishment but also a way to temper the body, molding it ording to the heavenly physique. If shortcuts are used, it''s the same as having cracks in the foundation of a building]


    [ Also, facing the tribtion will give you a deep insight, making the Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physique more understandable]


    " But I can''t just risk my life like that?" Long Ming clenched his fist. " I don''t have to take the harder path every time, do I?"


    [ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mystery is chuckling. He is saying it''s not like there is no way to cheat a bit]


    [ He gives you a hint! If you can''t bear the tribtion alone, then drag others into it. Sharing is caring after all]


    " What bullshit are you¡­"


    Long Ming was annoyed at first. However, his expression changed as he understood the hidden meaning behind the words.


    " Hahaha! What a fucking evil idea¡­Yes, Why can''t I do that?" Long Ming rubbed his chin with a devilish smile.


    " Yeah¡­I believe the Sky Fountain Pce is going to be very troublesome. So¡­I can try ascending my tribtion there."


    " Then, I guess I need to focus on my qi cultivation for now, yeah?"


    [ Ding! Host finished the daily quest! Host gets 10,000 Credits!]

 Chapter 280 Master Key

    Chapter 280 Master Key


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he realized the quest waspleted. " Elder Meng is sure efficient. Heh, She really used all of them on Blissful Heaven Temple''s disciples, huh?"


    He passed the entire day like that, cultivating, using his World Devouring Seal and extracting information from the Sky Martial Sect''s Sect Master.


    '' Now I have 15,000 Credits, I should spend it all rather than letting it go waste, no?'' Long Ming thought for a moment before opening the shop once again.


    There weren''t many great things he could purchase for 15,000 coins. But he searched for an item that would give her maximum profit in reality.


    And, he finally found it.


    [ Youth Rejuvenation Pill: A pill which can instantly rejuvenate even a mummified figure into its prime of youth. Also, the effectsst for a hundred years. So, you can remain all young till you die]


    Indeed, a normal human''s lifespan is less than a hundred years. So, for them, it''s truly something like a fountain of youth.


    '' Not to mention, it doesn''t use external energy to keep a person young. In this world, one needs to spend energy and the vitality of their True Blood to stay alive and young. For many people here, especially for women, such pills are nothing more than elixirs.''


    After pondering for a moment, Long Ming purchased it with 12,000 Credits. Even if the effectsts for a hundred years, it would be enough for quite some cultivators.


    '' What should I do with the remaining 3000 Credits?''


    Long Ming realized with that many credits, he couldn''t buy anything worthwhile. However, he found something amusing in the store.


    " Purchase a packet of cigarettes for remaining credits."


    Yes, it was cigarettes, which was something straight from the urban world. He couldn''t find any guns or smartphones in the store. So, seeing this, Long Ming decided to be a little prodigy. He got more than ten boxes, making him happy. Taking one out, he imitated lighting it with a lighter. With a small gesture, a me sparked, lighting up that cigarette. " Haah, Good shit."


    Long Ming took a drag before puffing out the smoke. However, he couldn''t help but find it amusing a bit.


    " Never in my life I have ever smoked. Yet, I am doing it so naturally, as if I was a chain smoker."


    " Or, Maybe I was?"


    Thinking about his mysterious and erased life as an assassin, Long Ming couldn''t help but sigh. He pondered about various mystery as he smoked.


    For example, why did he heard the voice of not killing his enemy the first time hemited murder? What is the reason for his Chaotic Murder Heart?


    Why does he get shbacks of her past life every time he goes on a killing spree? Various questions ran in his mind. But when the cigarette finished, the thoughts vanished with the smoke.


    " Anyway, rather than thinking about this, we better act now." With a mumble, Long Ming turned around and disappeared. Thanks to Meng Zhi, the Four Seasons Valley and Blissful Heaven Temple are connected by a one way teleportation formation. Long Ming stepped on the formation as he went straight to the Blissful Heaven Temple. [ Ding! The Prodigal Young Master System''s beta testing has been ended! Asking Host to give a review!]


    " Well, First of all, don''t cheat in the middle." Long Ming spoke in an annoyed voice. " It''s not my fault that I am exploiting bugs in your bug ridden system? You can''t just barge in the middle and lessen my testing period?"


    " Other than that, the first bug is obvious selling the quest item. You need to restrict that."


    " Secondly, the host of this system needs to be very weak. But, he also needs to have a heavenly talent, like¡­He needs to consume more than the average amount of resources to increase his strength."


    " Only in that case, he will be motivated to spend the daily quest items."


    " And next point, the Challenging Quests need to be more frequent."


    [ Ding! Host has submitted his review! Thank you for your time!]


    [ Ding! As a reward, Host has gained permission to reach the next cultivation realm]


    " Huh? Really?"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but be excited when he saw that. He is already at the Peak stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. And now, he can finally jump to the Harmonization Realm.


    '' Well, Since that''s the case, I can rx a bit now. Hehehehe, With my talent, do I even need to prepare?''


    His surroundings changed as he arrived in the Blissful Heaven Temple. There were many Four Seasons Valley disciples stationed there.


    " Huh? Is that Senior Brother?"


    " Senior Brother Long!"


    Long Ming gave a nod, " En, Do you know where Elder Meng is?"


    " Ah, she must be in the main hall."


    However, when Long Ming arrived there, he couldn''t help but be speechless.


    " Ahahahaha! Noo! Stop!"


    " Meng Zhi! Hahaha! You Bitch! Ahahaha!"


    Long Ming saw the elders of Blissful Heaven Temple kneeling before Meng Zhi with bare minimum clothes. ck feathers flew around them, tickling them.


    Since their cultivation is sealed, they can''t protect themselves from such torture. '' Damn, She is really creative in her torture, huh?'' " Ara~ How unfortunate, Little Brother." Meng Zhi clicked her tongue when she saw Long Ming. " Qingqing just left a few moments earlier."


    " You talked with her?" Long Ming was surprised. " She must be very mad, no?"


    " She was. But Qingqing is an understanding girl." Meng Zhi giggled. " But I can''t say her resentment towards you haspletely vanished."


    " Anyway, Your ve brandings are very good. With that, none of these bastards would dare to rebel."


    " So, Why did youe here?"


    " I wanted to know something." Long Ming spoke. " Do you know that Sky Martial Tower and Blissful Heaven Temple are also connected by a Teleportation Formation?"


    " What? Is it true?" Meng Zhi''s eyes narrowed. " But strange, I didn''t hear about this."


    " Because They aren''t directly connected." Long Ming replied. " From here, we need to go to the Bluewater Town. And there is a secret formation, which leads straight inside the Sky Martial Tower."


    " Haha, Marvelous! You are simply marvelous!" Meng Zhi couldn''t help but get excited. " Since that''s the case, what are we waiting for?"


    " Sister Meng, I shall be going first." Long Ming shook his head. " Only after assessing the situation, I would ask you to inform the sect."


    " But it can be dangerous." Meng Zhi was startled. " You never visited the Sky Martial Tower! How could you go there without falling into danger?"


    " Not to mention, there must be countless deadly formations that are guarding the internal section of the sect. If you trigger them, escaping would be very hard."


    " Hehe, You don''t need to worry about that, Big Sister Meng." Long Ming grinned. " Have you forgotten, we have a master key."


    " Master key?"


    After Long Ming exined his n, Meng Zhi was very surprised. " Hmm, That sounds usible. However, it would be better if you prepare everything."


    " I already have, Elder Sister Meng." Long Ming smiled. " So, Let''s go then."


    " What about Qingqing?" Meng Zhi spoke after a pause. " Shouldn''t you go and see her?"


    " I will probably make her annoyed again." Long Ming smiled wryly. " So, Let mee back in a few days. Till then, her anger would have calmed down."


    Thanks to the help of the remaining elders, Long Ming set up the coordinates on the formation before leaving for Bluewater Town.


    '' Tsk, the distance is so great that it instantly burned a hundred million high grade spirit stones. The distance is at least three times greater than the distance between Grand Sky City and Holy Qilin City.''


    When Long Ming appeared he saw he was inside a luxurious garden. He could even see some guards far away. '' ording to that bastard, there is a hideout of Sky Martial Tower in this town. I need to find it before going to the Sky Martial Tower. ''


    As he walked out, he used the concealment technique before slipping out from that ce. Out of curiosity, he walked around the ce, seeing if he could find anything interesting. " Damn it, To think Sky Martial Tower would get besieged like this?"


    " Indeed, I never thought Four Seasons Valley would beat the Sky Martial Tower."


    " But you can''t underestimate them. Even if the Eastern Sky Sect and other sects tried to breach the formation, they couldn''t."


    " Indeed. Unless the Ancestors take action, breaking the Sect Protecting Formation will be impossible."


    Long Ming chuckled when he heard their words. Indeed, it would be very hard for others to breach the formation with brute force.


    However, as he said, he has the master key.


    What is the master key? n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    '' Hehe, It''s the Sect Master token of Sky Martial Sect. With it, I doubt any formation would block my way.''


    Soon enough, he found the ce where the teleportation formation of Sky Martial Tower was hidden.


    '' Not bad¡­But there are too many guards. Hmm, How should I deal with them?''

 Chapter 281 Northern Flower City

    Chapter 281 Northern Flower City


    ??Jiang Wnxue hurried through the pce as she stood before the giant door.


    " Tell Brother Yong that I wish to meet him."


    " Wait a bit, Mydy."


    Soon enough, Jiang Wanxue stood before Qin Yong, who sat on his chair. With a light smile, he was drinking tea.


    " I didn''t expect Four Seasons Valley to defeat Sky Martial Tower. And even this badly." Qin Yong sighed.


    " Indeed, Two Nine Transformation of Soul Realm protectors of First Brother went to secretly aid the Sky Martial Tower. However, both of them got killed by Four Seasons Valley."


    " Indeed, Such a good news." Qin Yong couldn''t help butugh. " Two protectors, even for First Brother, the damage is enormous."


    " But what''s even more terrifying is Long Ming." Qin Yong remarked. " He actually had the confidence to take down the entire Sky Martial Sect."


    " Yes, He was confident." Jiang Wanxue nodded. " That''s why he asked us to use our influence to besiege the Sky Martial Tower."


    " But, It''s rather surprising to see that Qiu Ruoyou helping Long Ming with all her might. Perhaps it was because he saved her from First Brother?"


    Jiang Wanxue''s lips twitched when she heard that. She couldn''t say the noble and elegant wife of the First Prince was tantly cheating on him with Long Ming.


    " But, Another reason might be she is using this chance to take revenge against First Brother. After all, The Sky Martial Tower and First Brother supported each other."


    " You are right." Qin Yong nodded. " However, an Imperial Lineage is an Imperial Lineage. Even after most of their force git wiped out, they are standing tall."


    " That damned formation. It''s simply too much to break." Jiang Wanxue sighed. " Can''t we ask the¡­"


    " No, We can''t ask them." Qin Yong shook his head. " They will only use force if the Holy Qilin Empire is in danger. Otherwise, they won''t bother to burn their true blood to awake from slumber."


    " Then brother, What should we do now?"


    " First, we need to sap away First Brother''s strength. Since he is in a weak state now, we need to use this chance to take him down as much as we can."


    " And you should take a group of trusted guards and rush to the Sky Martial Tower. Who knows? Maybe an oppertunity will present itself?"


    " Even if doesn''t shows, you can have some negotiation with Qiu Ruoyou."


    " I understand, Brother." Jiang Wanxue nodded. " I shall depart right away."


    Qin Yong nodded as he saw Jiang Wanxue leaving. Suddenly, a shadow materialized behind him.


    " Young Lord, What is your orders?"


    " Hmm¡­Keep an eye on the First Brother. And¡­You know, his connection with the southern border." Qin Yong replied. " The Eastern Province shall soon descend into turmoil. Using this chance, the father emperor would definitely try to expand the territory."


    " Therefore, a sh in the southern border would be inevitable."


    " As you wish, Young Lord."


    Qin Yong kept drinking tea as the person vanished.


    '' First brother, What are you going to do now?''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Long Ming hid his presence as he slowly navigated his way through the estate of Town Lord of Bluewater Town.


    This is where the Sky Martial Tower hid their teleportation formation. Hehe, they must be using it as a path to take in and out their resources.''


    '' Huh? There are some peopleing.''


    There are several suspicious looking people slowly entered the main gate. Looking at them, he realized they might be the disciples of Sky Martial Tower. As they entered the building, Long Ming also followed them. As he walked in, a guard suddenly stopped in.


    " Halt! Who are you?"


    " Hmph! Dare to stop this lord?" Long Ming snorted. " I guess the Town Lord isn''t even doing his job."


    " Can''t you see I was going with my group?"


    The guard trembled when Long Ming released a wisp of his aura. " I¡­I am sorry, My lord. Please, go inside."


    " Hmph, useless."


    Long Ming spoke coldly before entering the estate.


    He noticed earlier that the guards were very fearful of the disciples. So, he used this chance to assert his dominance, quickly following the group entered earlier.


    With his concealment technique, he wasn''t afraid of anyone discovering him.


    '' Not to mention, I already nned a surprise for them.''


    Long Ming''s grin widened as he snapped his finger. Suddenly, a loud explosion happened outside, making the shock vibrate the surrounding.


    " What? What just happened?"


    " Intruder alert! Intruder alert!"


    " Everyone, go outside!"


    Long Ming sneaked in as he found the ce where the teleportation formation is hidden. It was very small, making it only carry around five or seven people at once.


    When Long Ming reached there, many of the guards were already rmed. And the disciples already left the ce.


    A sh of pink appeared as several rays of pink sword qi shot across the space. The guards were stunned, but they couldn''t defend against such a fast and precise attack.


    *PLUFF! PLUFF! PLUFF!*


    Their bodies got pierced by those lights, making the blood spurt. Long Ming didn''t kill them but made them crippled. Without wasting any time, he reached the teleportation formation to adjust the rune and coordinates.


    " Well, It was pretty easy, wasn''t it?" Long Ming grinned as he stepped into the swirling light. A moment after, his figure vanished as he again shot through the spatial tunnel.


    When he opened his eyes, we were already in a secluded location. However, like the previous ce, it was heavily guarded.


    This time, Long Ming couldn''t evade their senses.


    " What? Who is it!?"


    " Who used that teleportation formation? Capture him!"


    " As if you can."


    Long Ming sneered as his Raging Storm Wings appeared behind his back, unfurling like divine wings made up of storm and lightning. With a p, he disappeared from his position, turning into a streak of light and rushing through his opponent.


    " Storm Wave!"


    Storm wind blew and lightning crackled across the ce as a storm had arrived. Long Ming was like a meteor, crossing through the guards while overpowering them.


    With his momentum, he used the intent of Lightning and Wind, letting out a powerful wave of storm wind.


    The lightning and wind swept like a nket, stunning all the guards. Cries of agony filled the space as they fell on the ground, injured and coughing out blood.


    However, Long Ming escaped from there like a bird, pping his wings and streaking across the sky. He suddenly felt some figures chasing after him.


    But he only smirked, activating his Rushing Lightning Steps.


    *ZZZRTTTTT!*


    Turning into a sh of lightning, Long Ming vanished on the horizon.


    '' My next destination is Northern Flower City.''


    And soon enough, a giant city appeared before Long Ming. However, he couldn''t help but see an ethereal shield around the city.


    '' They sealed the entire city? Because of war?'' Long Ming thought for a moment before descending from the sky.


    As he entered the city, he realized flying was strictly prohibited. Even Nine Transformation Soul Realm can defy thisw.


    '' The Sky Martial Tower is located at the northern end of Northern Flower City, surrounded by mountains. There are already disciples of various sects gathering here.''


    Like Grand Sky City, Northern Flower City is very bustling and prosperous. Walking around, Long Ming noticed there were many cultivators of the Harmonization Realm.


    '' These must be the elders of various sects. Hm, All of them gathered here to deal with Sky Martial Tower?''


    Entering a tavern, Long Ming booked a seat and purchased some wine and stir fried meat.


    " Haha, To think Sky Martial Tower would fuck up so bad."


    " However, the Zhenwu Hall and Iron Li Sect are helping Sky Martial Tower."


    " Hmph, So what?" The person sneered. " They lost so many of their treasures in the battle with Four Seasons Valley."


    " Eastern Sky Sect can easily fend off these third rated sects. However, It''s the Sect Protection Formation which is the most troublesome thing here."


    " You are right."


    Long Ming heard the talking and got a general idea of the current situation.


    '' Damn it, I think there is also another Ancestor lurking inside the Sky Martial Tower. However, he must be very upied and can''t take action easily.''


    '' Eastern Sky Sect, Holy Qilin Empire, and other rogue cultivators trying to take down Sky Martial Sect. And, Zhenwu Hall and Iron Li Sect are helping Sky Martial Tower.''


    '' No faction is willing to exhaust their strength to breach the formation. However, I feel if something isn''t done quickly, Sky Martial Tower might reverse the situation.''


    Long Ming couldn''t help but salivate when he thought about the treasure vaults of Sky Martial Tower. If he could wipe them out, he would be able to make Four Seasons Valley soar to the sky.


    '' Then it''s decided. After some rest, I shall depart to the Sky Martial Tower.''


    However, after some time, he noticed an Eastern Sky Sect''s disciple nearby. Thinking about a certain someone, Long Ming approached him.


    " Good brother, Are you from Eastern Sky Sect?"


    " Uh, Yes?" The disciples got confused. " Who are you, Fellow Daoist?"


    " You can say I am¡­a friend of Miss Qiu Ruoyou."

 Chapter 282 Eastern Sky Sects Attitude

    Chapter 282 Eastern Sky Sect''s Attitude


    ??" What? You are the friend of Lady Qiu?" The disciple couldn''t help but get stunned.


    " No need to be suspicious. Just inform him that someone named Long Ming from the Holy Qilin Dynasty is here." Long Ming smiled as he replied. " But, Can you escort me to where they are residing?"


    " Uh, Of course."


    " Fellow Brother, What is the situation here? Have all the disciples of Sky Martial Tower are inside the sect?"


    " No, there are quite a lot of disciples roaming outside. And, we have gotten the order to kill or capture them. There will be a lot of rewards if we capture them though." The disciple couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " I believe Sky Martial Tower''s reputation isn''t good, eh?"


    " Why it would be?" The disciples of the Eastern Sky Sect couldn''t help but scoff. " They are just Orthodox Sect in name. Using their power as Imperial Lineage, all they did was suppress other powerhouses."


    "Not to mention, their disciples are simply dickheads. They just p their wings arrogantly and pick on other sect disciples."


    " Hehe, But now, all of them are going to receive karma for their action." The disciples couldn''t help butugh. " I was very happy when two of their Saint Childs got crippled in Holy Qilin Empire''s Battle Tournament."


    " Buy what was the name of the disciples of Four Seasons Valley? Ugh, I forgot."


    " Oh, Don''t think much, Brother." Long Ming chortled when he heard that. Soon enough, they reached a gigantic abode, filled with Eastern Sky Sect''s disciples.


    Long Ming stood outside for a moment, But not long before, the guards rushed out as they bowed before Long Ming. " Young Master Long, Thedy has invited you in."


    Everyone couldn''t help but get stunned when they saw the grand escort of Long Ming inside the abode of Eastern Sky Sect.


    " Who is that handsome young man?"


    " I heard he is a friend of Lady Qiu."


    " What? Lady Qiu''s friend?"


    When Long Ming arrived there, his smile faltered. '' I thought I am going flirt with Qiu Ruoyou for a while. But¡­It looks like her father is also here."


    In the giant hall, Along with Qiu Ruoyou sat a middle aged man with a white and orange robe. He looked very ordinary, but Long Ming could feel the raging aura inside his body.


    It was vast and rampaging as a raging ocean, making the onlooker feel oppressed.


    " I see. You are the one who saved my daughter from the assassination, huh?"


    " I am Long Ming, The True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley." Long Ming cupped his fist. " I greet the Sect Master of Eastern Sky Sect."


    " En, Not bad. You have some spirit." Qiu Shuijing couldn''t help but nod with approval when he saw Long Ming''sposure.


    " I believe you are here regarding the matter of Sky Martial Tower?"


    " Indeed, Sect Master Qiu." Long Ming nodded.


    " Then, Does that mean the Four Seasons Valleying to attack the Sky Martial Tower?"


    " No, Not yet." Long Ming shook his head. " After all, Our sect is still in the process of handling Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain."


    " Not to mention, we have no ns regarding sending our ancestors toe here and fight."


    " And the reason?" Qiu Shuijing looked at Long Ming. " Although you have killed Sky Martial Tower''s main force, the reserve force is still standing strong."


    " And that damned Sect Protection Formation. It was something nned by the Skyward Spear Emperor. Therefore, breaking through it is very hard for us."


    " I understand the concerns, Sect Master Qiu." Long Ming cupped his fist. " Don''t worry, Our sect shall do its best to help you. After all, Sky Martial Tower is ourmon enemy. Since it''s weakened, we must uproot the entire sectpletely."


    " Mhm, I hope you do. And do faster."


    " Father, If you allow, may I take Long Ming with me for a bit?" Qiu Ruoyou wore an exotic red dress, zing like crimson mes. Wearing those, she looked like a nobility of mes.


    " En, You can take him away."


    " Thank you, Father." Qiu Ruoyou got up and walked to Long Ming. " Pleasee with me, Brother Long."


    " Yes, Lead the way, Lady Qiu. I wish to say something to you." They both looked extremely sober and elegant, leaving the room.


    However, when they arrived in Qiu Ruoyou''s room, Long Ming''s body moved as he held the waist of Qiu Ruoyou.


    " Hehe, My dear, Missed me?"


    " Tsk, you are really impatient, Young Master Long." Qiu Ruoyou bit her lips. " But indeed¡­I missed you quite a lot.


    Their faces came close as they shared a passionate kiss. Qiu Ruoyou felt like she would melt in Long Ming''s embrace.


    " Thanks to Sky Martial Tower, I used the opportunity to escape here." Qiu Ruoyou looked at Long Ming as she giggled. " Well, I believe my Sister in Law is also here."


    " Wanxue is here too?" Long Ming was surprised. " But then, There is no way the Holy Qilin Empire won''t make a move. However, Rather than destroying Sky Martial Tower, they will try to make use of it."


    " Indeed, That''s why father is being impatient." Qiu Ruoyou sighed. " After all, If Sky Martial Tower survives, it would definitely hurt us."


    " Before Holy Qilin Empire does something, we need to damage the Sky Martial Tower to the maximum, if we can''tpletely destroy it."


    " So, Do you have any idea?"


    Long Ming couldn''t help but chuckle when he heard that. " Even Formation Kings are unable to break the formation. Why do you think I have a way?"


    " Because I know you have." Qiu Ruoyou couldn''t help but roll her eyes. " You are always so full of devious ideas. Since you are here, I believe you already found a route to breach Sky Martial Tower''s defence."


    " How thoughtful." Long Ming merely smiled. " Well, I won''t deny I have some ideas. But I need to try them first."


    " So, Do you have something like a map or something?"


    " Indeed, I have." Qiu Ruoyou nodded. " The outside of Sky Martial Tower is depicted vividly. And we also have a rough map of the inside of the sect."


    " However, beware. There might be hidden formations inside the sects. Especially ces like their treasuries or other such important ces."


    " You don''t need to worry about it. Just let me go inside first."


    " Indeed, I shall help you." Qiu Ruoyou grinned as snapped her hands.


    " Only after you satisfy my cravings, Young Master."


    Her crimson clothes fell, showing off her perfect sexy body before Long Ming.


    Long Ming was stunned for a moment before shaking his head with amusement.


    " Since that''s the case¡­All I can do is to give in to your wishes."

 Chapter 283 Infiltration in Sky Martial Tower

    Chapter 283 Infiltration in Sky Martial Tower


    ??A night full of springs and joy, a room filled with the fragrance of flowers and joy.


    Qiu Ruoyou''s eyelids slowly fluttered as she woke up, her body was feeling cool due to the dew drops of sweat slowly vanishing under the gentle breeze.


    Looking below, she couldn''t help but smile faintly, seeing how Long Ming was lying atop her and sleeping soundly. No shred of clothes on their body as they slept in a tangled mess of limbs interwind with each other.


    Qiu Ruoyou couldn''t see contently in pleasure as she gently caressed Long Ming''s rough hair.


    '' Ungh, I don''t think I would be able to get out of bed today.'' She couldn''t help but chuckle inwardly.


    Slowly, Long Ming''s body trembled as he rolled to the side, rubbing his eyes as he also woke up.


    " Ughh¡­Is it morning already?" Long Ming mumbled as he saw Qiu Ruoyou already woken up.


    " Of course, it''s morning already." Qiu Ruoyou giggled. " Why? Disappointed that the night already ended?"


    Long Ming raised his brows when he heard that. " Really? Is it me or¡­Is it you, Lady Qiu?"


    " Someone was definitely going wildst night, and it wasn''t me."


    " Hmph, So, ady can''t even indulge in a bit of pleasure?" Qiu Ruoyou pouted yfully. " And besides¡­ It was just a dual cultivation session, yes?"


    " Well well, Someone is using their tongue very well, hm?"


    " Heheh, Goodness, What are you doing?"


    Qiu Ruoyou tried to hide her breasts with the bedsheet, but Long Ming pulled it away and pressed Qiu Ruoyou underneath him.


    " Why hide it? Seeing your morning afterglow is very beautiful, you know?"


    " Tee hee~ So, Are we up for another round?"


    " No."


    Qiu Ruoyou instantly pouted when she heard Long Ming''s instant reply. However, She simply closed her eyes when she saw Long Ming leaning forward, sharing a passionate morning kiss.


    She whimpered lightly as he also gave attention to her ample breasts, rubbing them gently as he kissed her.


    '' Damn it! Being so passionate and yet¡­Denying my outright!''


    '' Hmph! Rascal, I know you are just trying to y hard.'' Qiu Ruoyou muttered with annoyance in her heart.


    After the kiss, Long Ming got up and stretched his arms. " However, The dual cultivation session was very useful. What about you, Ruoyou?"


    " Well, My flow of qi has been smoothening a lot. And, I believe I can achieve the next stage in my Expansive Sky Soraing Energy Art."


    " Same for me." Long Ming clenched his fist. " I shall prepare to advance to the Harmonization Realm in the meantime."


    " Sometimes, I just forget that you are still in Primordial Spirit Unification Realm." Qiu Ruoyou couldn''t help but chuckle. " I mean, you are such an anomaly. You usually fight against people above your league."


    " Hehe, Perhaps that''s why you fell for me?" Long Ming gave a cheeky grin in reply.


    " Alright, I need to go now. After all, I have tons of work to do."


    " Well, Go ahead. I don''t think I will be able to get out of bed today."


    Long Ming felt a pain in his waist when he heard Qiu Ruoyou''s sultry remark.


    '' This damned witch, we barely sleptst night. Just how much os she containing behind that elegant facade of hers?''


    '' Mm, But then¡­She is such a ripe woman who doesn''t get attention from the First Prince. Hehe, maybe because of that?''


    The moment he opened the door, Long Ming''s expression faltered as he saw the person before him.


    " Ji-Jiang Wanxue?"


    " Huh? Long Ming?"


    Jiang Wanxue was stunned when she saw Long Minging out of Qiu Ruoyou''s room. Jiang Wnaxue''s eyes turned wide as she tilted her head and looked inside the room. " Ah, Sister in Law, have youe to see me?" Qiu Ruoyou waved her hands from the bed.


    Long Ming felt a bit embarrassed when he saw that. " Ahem, I have some work so¡­I shall go early."


    " Bastard! Wait!"


    Jiang Wanxue shouted, but Long Ming''s figure vanished already.


    " You! You called me to show this scene?"


    Jiang Wanxue pointed at Qiu Ruoyou as she couldn''t help but shout with annoyance.


    " Oh, is that so?" Qiu Ruoyou feigned innocence. " I didn''t know you wereing through?"


    " But, who knows?"


    " Hmph, Sneaky bitch."


    Jiang Wanxue muttered under her breath as she calmed herself. " Alright, I am here to talk about some things about Sky Martial Tower."


    " But before that¡­Can you cover your boobs?"


    Qiu Ruoyou blinked when she heard that. " You can''t see my beauty of afterglow?"


    " ¡­.. "


    .


    .


    .


    Long Ming stood on a cliff as his Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed with a dreamy light. Before him was the once so-great Sky Martial Tower.


    '' Wow, there are really seven sky reaching towers here. I thought they just named it out of nowhere.''


    He could also see the giant illusory dome of light covering the entire sect. And the array formation was far too intricate, not giving anyone a chance to decode where its energy node might be.


    Even Long Ming felt that this formation might be too much for him. However, why break the lock if you have the key to open it?


    Staying there, Long Ming surveyed around the sect, seeing skirmishes outside of the sect. The Sky Martial Tower''s disciples and other sect disciples frequently fought against each other., making the entire border filled with scars of battles.


    And what makes them even more annoying is that even if Sky Martial Tower disciples lose, they just rush inside their sect, making others only jump in anger outside.


    After surveying the area for the entire day, Long Ming was already a sweet spot for infiltration. When the night fell, Long Ming took out a token that glowed with a faint light.


    Standing near a ce, Long Ming took a deep breath and walked forward. The moment he touched the barrier, he felt like he was sinking into a viscous fluid.


    With a single step, he crossed the barrier as the token in his hands cast a protective barrier around his body.


    " Haha, It actually worked." Long Ming chuckled with excitement. After that, he quickly navigated through the sect using the map of Qiu Ruoyou and the information he gathered from the soul of Sect Master Shen Liang.


    Walking inside, he soon changed his garment into a Sky Martial Tower disciple, making him look less suspicious. He also adjusted his appearance and suppressed Deste Immortal Aura making him look less eye catching.


    As he was navigating through the disciple''s residence, he suddenly saw something interesting.


    A group of disciples punching and kicking someone, who was lying down on the ground.


    " Haha, Shu Changyan, Weren''t the great Saint Child before? What happened now huh?"


    " What a crippled bastard. You should kill yourself, you pathetic worm."


    " Only if you had died, our sect wouldn''t have suffered this much."


    Long Ming''s lips curled when he saw that.


    '' Now this is interesting.''

 Chapter 284 Giving PTSD to Shu Changyan

    Chapter 284 Giving PTSD to Shu Changyan


    ??" Yo-You!!"


    Shu Changyan coughed a mouthful of blood out of anger. However, he can only curl up and use his arms to protect his body.


    '' These motherfuckers! I will¡­I will kill them all!''


    '' Mu Qinglian, Long Ming, Four Seasons Valley, Sky Martial Tower! I will kill everyone!''


    After being crippled by Mu Qinglian, Shu Changyan was hurriedly taken back to the sect. After wasting a Noble grade Great Golden Healing Pill and many other resources, Shu Changyan managed to regrow his body.


    However, the power of Mu Qinglian was so high that it almost crippled Shu Changyan.


    The physical body he cultivated was already ruined. And for his cultivation base, it dropped to the True Core Formation Realm.


    However, Shu Changyan still hadn''t lost his hope. But then, the final straw was added on his back, breaking his spine instantly.


    His superior cultivation aspect was gone. He thought he would take a year or two to regain his cultivation. However, his cultivation grew very slowly, like an ordinary disciple.


    Thanks to such a state, he was already getting bullied by other core disciples. After all, he had offended quite a lot of disciples when he was the Saint Child of Sky Martial Tower.


    At that moment, he heard the news from his master. The Sky Martial Tower was using him as a cause to initiate the war with Four Seasons Valley.


    When Shu Changyan heard that he was going to marry Mu Qinglian, he couldn''t help but be ecstatic.


    '' Hehe, That bitch¡­I really want her. Once I marry her, I will use her as my cauldron andpletelyprehend the Four Seasons Heavenly Body!''


    The day Shu Chnagyan saw the Sect Masters and others leaving for Four Seasons Valley, Shu Changyan felt like his days of suffering would be over.


    However¡­


    '' How is that possible? Our Sky Martial Tower failed? Mas-Master died?''


    '' We lost despite our Natal Imperial Weapon? Our Ancestor got killed?''


    Earlier, Shu Changyan felt like he had merely fallen into a dark pit. But after hearing the news of Sky Martial Tower''s annihtion, he felt like he had fallen into the abyss.


    And finally, the ones who hated Shu Changyan got free reign over him. Although they can''t kill him ording to sect rules, they will surely make his life a living hell.


    After beating him into a pulp for a while, all of them had left. Shu Changyan slowly.


    " Bastards, Just wait till my cultivation returns. I will fucking kill you all!"


    But suddenly, Shu Changyan felt a gust of wind, making him startle. He turned around and saw a familiar figure.


    The moment his eyes fell on him, he felt his face turning cold like a block of ice. His lips trembled and his eyes turned wide from horror.


    " Yo-You!!"


    Shu Changyan could only choke on the word ''you'' as he pointed his finger at Long Ming, as if he was


    " Yo ho! Missed me?" Long Ming gave a bright smile as he waved his hands.


    " YO-YOU! HOW COULD YOU BE HERE?" Shu Changyan couldn''t help but shout while trembling with rage and horror.


    " Oh, You want to know?" Long Ming''s lips curled. " Hmm, Maybe you are relying on your Sect Protection Formation? Too bad, It couldn''t able to stop me."


    Suddenly, Shu Changyan mustered his strength as he turned around to escape. After all, breaching the Sect Protection Formation is a serious issue. He needed to inform the elders as fast as possible.


    " Where are you going?" Long Ming was saddened. " You are leaving after meeting with your old friend after so long?"


    *PAAA!"


    Long Ming simply raised his hand and gave a backhanded strike using the power of the Mountain Flipping Seal.


    It was like a p of thunder when Long Ming swatted his hands, and the next moment, Su Changyan fell into a mass of mangled flesh.


    However, he wasn''t dead of course. Long Ming had no n to kill him right now.


    " ARRGHHHH! MY¡­MY BODY! AAAAA!" Shu Chengyan gave a cry of agony as he felt the pain spreading across his body. The moment he received Long Ming''s p, it was like someone threw a mountain on him.


    Instantly, his bone shattered and his organs burst, making him unable to take step forward. He cried out loud, hoping for someone to notice his predicament.


    Unfortunately, Long Ming already cast a wall of spirituality around Shu Changyan. So, all he did was waste his remaining energy while shouting.


    " Well, Don''t worry, I won''t kill you." Long Ming smirked as he walked towards Shu Changyan and squatted down. " After all, it might alert someone in the Skly Martial Tower."


    " Not to mention, I have some use of you."


    Long Ming grinned as he tied Shu Changyan with a treasured rope and gagged his mouth. The Fragrant Yin Qi swirled on his fingertips as he poked several points on Shu Changyan''s body, sealing off his cultivation instantly.


    " Well now, Can you tell me where your cultivation abode is?" Long Ming smiled. " After all, I can''t let my friend remain asleep outside, yes?"


    Shu Changyan''s eyes almost popped out from anger and hate. However, he could only use his gesture and show Long Ming the way. After entering his abode, Long Ming couldn''t help but snort.


    '' An entire floating mountain for you? Sky Martial Tower sure loves you a lot."


    Of course, Long Ming also owns the Solitary Flower Peak in Four Seasons Valley. However, the difference between Long Ming and Shu Chnagyan was, that Long Ming''s mountain was barren and only he and Xiao''er stay on the peak.


    Meanwhile, Shu Changyan''s mountain was like a bustling small town, with its own herbal garden, smithy, servant and maid''s quarters, and other ces.


    '' I need to have araise after I return from here.'' Long Ming muttered as he locked Shu Changyan in his room. Seeing his defiant eyes, he couldn''t help but chuckle.


    " You are wondering what am I doing, huh?" Long Ming grinned as he took out a silver mask without any design on it.


    He ced the mask on his face and started to rub it. It was like a mask made up of mercury, slowly adjusting on his face like a liquid.


    Shu Chagyan couldn''t understand what Long Ming wanted to do. However, His eyes almost popped out when he saw the transformation after putting on the mask.


    Long Ming turned into an identical copy of Shu Changyan, without a minute difference.


    " So, Am I looking good?"


    Long Ming, who is Shu Changyan now looked at Shu Changyan with amusement.

 Chapter 285 Great Heist

    Chapter 285 Great Heist


    ??" Disciple Shu Changyan, What are you doing here?" An elder asked with a deep voice as he looked at Su Changyan.


    " Elder He, I havee to collect some treasures." Su Changyan cupped his fist. " Because some of our disciples need them to ambush the disciples of Eastern Sky Sect."


    " Is that so?" Elder He raised his brows. " Very well, You can go in."


    " Elder He, I would like to tell you about something." Su Changyan''s voice turned low. " I know you are true confidant of Master. And this thing¡­"


    " What is it, Changyan?"


    " Grand Elder Ming, I think something is suspicious." Su Changyan looked around and spoke. " I know Master was speaking of something about the conflict of Emerald Mountain. He cursed Grand Elder Ming under his breath."


    " He also told me that he is going to solve the matter of the Grand Elder after he returns from Sky Martial Tower. But¡­"


    " He really talked you about the Emerald Mountain''s issue?" Elder He''s eyes squinted as he looked at Su Changyan. Su Changyan hurriedly nodded.


    " Indeed, Elder He. He said that. And also, He wanted you to talk with Elder Hua about some other matters. So¡­"


    " Don''t worry, I shall go right away." Elder He thought about some matter as he couldn''t help but frown.


    " Elder He, I wanted to talk to you about my technique." Sui Changyan spoke with an excited voice. " I wonder if the sword technique¡­"


    Elder He paused as he listened to Su Changyan''sprehension. " Wonderful! Changyan, I didn''t think you would be able to grasp such profundity within this technique."


    " I guess despite your condition, you are still a genius."


    " Don''t worry, Elder He." Su Changyan spoke in a determined voice. " I will do my best, Elder He. As I regain my cultivation, I will definitely take revenge on my Master."


    " However. I believe you should meet Elder Hua and sort the matter of Grand Elder Ming." Su Changyan''s voice became low. " I hope I am overthinking but, what if Grand Elder¡­"


    " You don''t need to care about this matter." Elder Hua rolled his sleeves. " I shall see what that old geezer is up to."


    Turning into a wisp of smoke, Elder He vanished from there. Su Changyan''s lips curled as he looked at the huge tower.


    " Hehe, Now, the Treasure Tower of Sky Martial Tower is mine."


    A deep azure sh appeared in Su Changyan''s gaze as he stretched his arms. He swiftly took out a token and walked upstairs.


    Unlike the Treasure Pavilion of Four Seasons Valley, the treasury of Sky Martial Tower was packed with treasures.


    '' There are probably more than fifty floors here. I should start with the thirtieth floor and onwards."


    As Long Ming arrived there, he saw a small screen of light separating the floors. He showed the Sect Master''s token as he walked into the screen of light.


    These screens of light was created by a grand array formation protecting the Treasure Tower of Sky Martial Tower. As the height of the flood increases, the pressure and power exerted by these screens of light also increase.


    These serve two purposes. First, to stop unauthorized entry. Without corresponding clearance, one can''t bypass these screens of light.


    The second purpose is to filter the disciples. Those with a higher cultivation base and better foundation can resist the pressure exerted by the screen of light. So, this also creates apetition among the disciples to cultivate harder.


    However, The Sect Master''s token is the ultimate key that can unlock all the floors of the Treasure Tower. So, Long Ming had no fear of being caught.


    The tower was divided into two parts. The left side was filled with scriptures and techniques. The right side was filled with various treasures and materials.


    Long Ming pondered for a moment as he used the shing Lightning Steps and spread his divine sense. Suddenly, Long Ming could see and feel everything around him, all the way to the wall of the tower.


    With his movement technique, he quickly appeared and disappeared across the floors. Waving his hands, he showed no hesitation before collecting the treasures and filling them inside his spatial bracelet.


    Medicinal pills, secret arts, battle techniques,prehension notes, Long Ming didn''t leave anything, stealing everything away.


    Everything from the 30th floor to the 45th floor was swept away. However, as the numbers increased, the items on the floor decreased.


    However, all the items on the higher floors are exceptionally rare items. So, they can''t be as abundant as lower floor items.


    Although most Noble grade, Royal grade items were taken by the Sky Martial Tower for their expedition of Four Seasons Valley and defending the current sect, there were quite some precious items lying there.


    However, what made Long Ming interested was the fragmented copy of the Returning Spring Sword Art. It was precisely the other half that was missing from the Four Seasons Valley.


    '' I see. So, It''s really here.'' Long Ming snickered as he picked it up. After interrogating Shen Liang, Long Ming understood the reason why the Sky Martial Tower desperately wanted theplete technique.


    After some looking, Long Ming found an ancient manuscript. He flipped it open and found his answer.


    It was said that along with various inheritances, a secret vault of one of the direct disciples of the Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor was also inside the Sky Fountain Pce.


    However, open the door of the vault, the secret lies inside the styles of Returning Spring Sword Arts.


    What is the vault of a Heavenly Emperor? It''s simply a treasure trove of heaven and earth. What couldn''t be found inside it?


    '' There might be the missing natal weapon of Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor there. Or something like an Imperial Physique Cultivation technique.''


    There was only a single Imperial Physique technique in the Sky Martial Tower. It was the Sky Soaring Imperial Physique. The Ancestor of Sky Martial Towerpleted the perfection stage. Yet he still got killed by Ancestor Huang.


    Besides, other than a few, no one had the aptitude to cultivate the Sky Soaring Imperial Physique after the disciples of Skyward Spear Emperor.


    That was until Sky Martial Tower stole the Four Seasons Heavenly Physique Art from Four Seasons Valley. But even then, it was an iplete version, cultivated by Shu Gongyan.


    This shows how hard it is to cultivate an Imperial Physique. Even with resources, one needs to have a rare natural aptitude to refine their physique.


    But Long Ming didn''t bother. He simply took all the relevant documents and stuffed them inside his storage space.


    '' Royal grade treasures, Royal grade equipments¡­''


    As Long Ming reached the top floor, he couldn''t help but gulp loudly.


    There were three things before him. A burning purple me, a floating multicolored saber, and a book.


    '' Damn it¡­Is that a Natal Imperial Weapon?'' Long Ming was excited. '' Hmm, Nope, It''s only half a Natal Imperial Weapon. However, it''s enough for me.''


    '' And this me¡­It looks like the Purple Lotus me, which is a natural treasure of heaven and earth. This is a must have treasure."


    " As for this book¡­"


    Long Ming picked it up and saw the contents. It was an Imperial Technique, personally written by the Skyward Imperial Weapon.


    " Sky Piercing Nine Spears Arts, huh?" Long Ming chuckled. " You may be an enemy, but I can certainly thank you for good stuff, no?"


    " Now, The only thing remaining is to take down the barrier of the Sky Martial Tower."

 Chapter 286 A Hole In Sky?

    Chapter 286 A Hole In Sky?


    *BOOM! BOOM!"


    The explosion happened right outside the Sky Martial Tower. The disciples of Sky Martial Tower and Eastern Sky Sect engaged in a fierce battle.


    " Sky Edge Sword sh!"


    " Storm Saber Cut!"


    The swords and savers shed as the disciples of Sky Martial Tower put their lives on the line to protect their sect.


    Even if the great sect was running, they needed to use this chance to deal damage to their enemy sects.


    " Bastards of Sky Martial Tower! You think you can forever escape?" A disciple of Eastern Sky Sect shouted as he raised his saber.


    Suddenly, the wind swirled around it, turning it into a giant saber made up of storm clouds. As he shed it out, it was like the arrival of the storm. It blew the ancient trees around them into shards as it charged at the Sky Martial Tower disciples.


    " Of course!"


    Raising his sword, the Sky Martial Tower disciple made a defensive move to block the attack of the storm cloud. With great brilliance, the sword turned into thousands of swords, shing through the storm clouds.


    " Bastards of Eastern Sky Sect, You think our Sky Martial Tower would fall because of a single Four Seasons Valley?" The disciple of Sky Martial Tower snorted.


    " Just wait! We will see your Eastern Sky Sect sooner orter. As long as we are alive, the Eastern Sky Sect would be our eternal enemy."


    " Hmph! You need to stay alive to take revenge." The disciple of Eastern Sky Sectughed as he swung his saber. " I don''t think you can live past my saber today."


    " Bold words!"


    The disciples of Eastern Sky Sect and Sky Martial Tower simply hated each other. Not to mention, both sects issued bounties on the opposite sects, making the disciples hunt each other without mercy.


    After killing the disciples of other sects, they will get contribution points, which can be used to exchange for various resources and treasures.


    " Senior Brother, it looks like they are trying to surround us!"


    " Hmph! Ambushing us? They sure dream a lot!" The senior disciple of Sky Martial Tower snorted as he raised his sword.


    " We already did today''s work. I am carving a way out, Everyone! Follow me!"


    " Brilliant Sword Soaring the Sky!"


    *SWISHHHH!*


    The sword turned into a pir of light as it streaked across the sky. The disciples of Eastern Sky Sect avoided the attack as it was a secret technique of Sky Martial Tower, The secret technique has higher firepower than the average technique as it increases the power of the user for a short period of time.


    The senior disciple of Sky Martial Tower was at the Peak stage of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm and already mastered the Sword Qi.


    So, facing him directly might be fatal. " Damn it! Chase after them!" The Eastern Sky Sect disciple shouted. " Don''t let those fuckers escape back to their turtle shell!"


    It was themon guerri tactic of Sky Martial Tower. Come out of the sect, engage in battle, and rush back inside the sect. After all, the Sect Protection Formation would protect them.


    The Sky Martial Tower disciples followed their senior brother as they reached near the sentry tower of the sect.


    " Hurry up and get inside!" The senior disciple shouted, making all the Sky Martial Sect disciples cross the border instantly.


    " Motherfuckers!"


    " Bastards! If you have guts,e out of that turtle shell and fight against us!"


    " How shameless! How could you rush inside the formation in the middle of battle!"


    The disciples of Sky Martial Towerughed when they heard the shouts of their enemies.


    " Hahah! What a bunch of clowns!"


    " If you have the ability, Why don''t youe here and fight us?"


    " Hmph! Break down the formation if you dare!"


    The disciples of the Eastern Sky Sect fumed when they they saw the mocking of Sky Martial Tower disciples.


    " Fuck this formation!"


    " Damn it!"


    They couldn''t help but curse aloud when they saw the pale light barrier separating the Sky Martial Tower from the rest of the world.


    " Come with me, Fellow brothers."


    "Tonight, We shall enjoy¡­"


    As the Sky Martial Tower disciples were about to leave, everyone heard a giant rumbling down. Looking around, all of them looked at the sky, making them stun.


    " Is that a¡­Hole in the sky?''


    " That''s not the sky¡­That''s¡­our Sect Protection Formation."


    " I see, but there is a hole in it, right?"


    The disciples of Sky Martial Tower froze as they saw the barrier of light before them flickering for a moment before vanishingpletely.


    Disciples of both sects looked at each other with dismay.


    "..."


    "..."


    A disciple of Eastern Sky Sect rushed and waved his hands. He realized there was no resistance.The leader of the Eastern Sky Sect took a deep breath before shouting.


    " KILL!!"


    " KILL!"


    " Kill those bastards!"


    The Sky Martial Tower disciples'' faces turned pale as they rushed to leave. However, this time, the luck wasn''t on their side.


    " What the fuck is happening!"


    " Why did the barrier disappear?"


    Blood sshed as many of the Sky Martial Tower disciples died. Even the one who used the e=seret technique earlier couldn''t help but get pressed on the ground. He used too much true qi earlier, making him weaker than before.


    It wasn''t only this ce. Things like this happened all around the Sky Martial Tower.


    *BOOM! BOOM!*


    The entire Sky Martial Tower trembled as explosions happened somewhere inside.The elders and disciples were rmed as they rushed out!


    " The array formation! The array formation is gone!"


    " How is this possible!"


    " Someone go and check the main node!"


    The Disciplinary Elder and others rushed there, but it was toote.


    " Fuck! Fuck! Someone destroyed the main node of the formation!"


    " Not only the main node! The energy pathways are also destroyed!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " This aura¡­" One of the elders trembled as his eyes turned wide. " Isn''t this our sect''s Array Breaking Thunder Orb?"


    Everyone looked at him with even paler expressions.


    " Where is Elder He?"


    " Fuck! Everyone! Go to the Treasure Tower!"


    " Hurry up!"


    Meanwhile, A young man was walking out of the Sky Martial Tower with a leisurely gait. As he looked at the sky, he saw the Treasure Boats of Eastern Sky Sect and others already arrived at full speed.


    " Haha, Qiu Ruoyou is really faithful." Long Ming grinned. " She ced the major forces on standby, waiting for my message. And now the Array Formation is gone, the Sky Martial Tower is doomed now."


    Long Ming sighed as he looked at the ten spatial rings on his fingers and two bracelets in each hand. Each of them was filled with treasures.


    " Ahh, I am so rich now" Long Ming sighed. " How can I sympathize with poor people now?"


    " Well, The work here is done now. I should return to my sect now." Long Ming chuckled. " Let''s prepare a surprise for Senior Sister."

 Chapter 287 Shocked Elders

    Chapter 287 Shocked Elders


    Almost the entire north of Eastern Province was in turmoil when the Sect Protection Array of Sky Martial Sect broke down. The Eastern Sky Sect were already ready on themand of Qiu Ruoyou. The moment they got the news, the Eastern Sky Sect mobilized their entire force in that instant.


    Sky Martial Tower wasn''t prepared at all. However, only after they saw the ripple in the sky, they realized that their guardian shield i no more.


    *BOOM! BOOM!"


    " Hurry up and attack!"


    " Destroy the Sky Martial Sect!"


    The flying treasure boats of Eastern Sky Sect tore through the wind as they arrived there instantly. The experts and disciples of the Eastern Sky Sect rushed inside the Sky Martial Tower and began their ughter.


    " Damn it! Everyone! Gather up!"


    " Be quick and gather all the disciples!"


    " Hurry up and call the ancestors!"


    The Grand Elder of Sky Martial Tower shouted. " All the elders, Grab the weapons from the Treasure Tower! We need to defend our sect till the formation is turned on!"


    However, when the elders rushed to the tower, their faces couldn''t help but turn pale like a sheet of paper.


    " Wh-Where are the treasures?"


    " Motherfucker! Where are the weapons and equipment?"


    " The medicinal pills! I am injured!"


    Elder He and Grand Elder looked at each other with dismay as they saw the empty shelves. On some floors, there aren''t even any shelves. Everything was taken with the shelves itself.


    Generally, the upper floors remain empty as they were exclusive to the upper echelon of the sect. However, although some low level items remained on the lower floors, the upper floors with most items were practically empty. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " SHU CHANGYAN!"


    The elders felt their body swaying. Some of them couldn''t help but cough mouthfuls of blood. After all, the scene was too much rage-inducing.


    " No¡­This can''t be happening."


    " Everyone¡­It''s over." Grand Elder adjusted himself first as he turned around. " The Sky Martial Sect''s time is over. No matter what we do, we won''t be able to defeat our enemies."


    " So, I shall only give one advice."


    " Run!"


    " But what about the disciples?"


    " There is also Sect''s Progeny Source!"


    " I DON''T FUCKING CARE!"


    Grand Elder roared. " If you guys want to live, escape as there is still some time."


    " If you want, you can take your close disciples."


    " And, I am leaving first!"


    It''s true that there are a lot of treasures in the treasury. However, the elders also had their fair share of piled treasures. They looked at each other and nodded with determination.


    Meanwhile, a ughter already started inside the Sky Martial Tower. The disciples of the Eastern Sky Sect and other hostile sects had a great deal of hatred towards the Sky Martial Sect''s disciples.


    Now, since there is no array formation protecting the sect, they can finally vent out their anger.


    " Charge! Kill everyone!"


    " Haha! Finally! I am going to finish every bastard here!"


    The Sky Martial Tower''s disciples panicked as they tried to flee.


    " Damn it! Where are the elders?"


    " These damned bastards! Hurry up and escape!"


    " They have sealed our escape routes! We can''t go outside!"


    " Fuck! FUCKK!"


    The Eastern Sky sect''s elders were surprised when they met with the least amount of resistance.


    " Damn it! Here I thought I was finally going fight properly!"


    " The Sky Martial Tower feels¡­empty?"


    " Could it be¡­Those motherfuckers fled?"


    They looked at each other as the Disciplinary Elder of Eastern Sky Sect shouted.


    " Everyone, Scout around the sect and see if anyone hiding! Also, Four elders, pleasee with me to see the Treasure Tower!"


    " And¡­Fuck!"


    " Those bastards! They really fled with all the treasures, huh?"


    " Damn it! We were a step toote!"


    The elders of the Eastern Sky Sect cursed the elders of Sky Martial Tower for being cowardly and fleeing with all the treasures of the sect.


    How could they know that the Sky Martial Tower''s elders escaped without a single penny?


    " They couldn''t have gone far!"


    " Hurry up and search for them!"


    " Elder Zu, Monks can run, but the temple can''t." An elder looked at the Disciplinary Elder and muttered.


    " Ah, Yes. How could I forget that?" Elder Zu grinned. " There isn''t much in Treasure Tower. Let our disciple handle it." " Meanwhile, Everyone follows me to the Progeny Ground."


    To establish a sect, a person needs to have a high level of strength. Also, thend has to be auspicious and full of the energy of Heaven and Earth.


    A sect is a gathering ce of cultivators. Their energy and fate intertwines within the sect. And all of them merge into the Progeny Ground.


    It''s like a source of spiritual spring, which sustains the sect. It''s also the main node of underground spiritual veins. The Progeny Ground is blessed by the daoprehension of high-level masters. Just going near it can cause someone to break through.


    As long as the Progeny Ground remains, rebuilding the sect would be easy. However, once it''s stolen or destroyed¡­It heralds the end of a sect.


    It''s also a valuable treasure for high level cultivators. If a Dao Refining Realm cultivator absorbs an entire Progeny Ground''s source energy, they mightprehend the Grand Dao and break through to the next stage.


    Therefore, The Eastern Sky Sect wanted to capture it first. " Hah, Thankfully, It''s still here. Although, there is akilling formation around it."


    " But this is nothingpared to the Sect Protection Formation."


    " Hurry up and break it. We must inform Sect Master as soon as possible."


    The news arrived in the Holy Qilin City prettyte. Everyone were shocked when they heard the news.


    " What? Sky Martial Tower has fallen?"


    " Impossible!"


    " How could the Grand Array Formation fall this fast?"


    " Hurry up and send our men! We can''t let the Eastern Sky Sect loot everything."


    The Holy Qilin Emperor was also shocked when he heard that news.


    " Is it true?"


    " Young Lady personally gave this message."


    " Wanxue did?" The Emperor paused. " I heard that brat from Four Seasons Valley went there?"


    " Yes, This event might rted to him¡­"


    " Interesting."


    " Pass my order! Force the Eastern Sky Sect to share half of the Progeny Ground''s energy. Any defiance shall treated as rebellion."


    " Also, get the emptynd of Sky Martial Tower and turn it into our base. nt our heavenly stelle there to show the authority of Holy Qilin Empire!"


    " As you wish, Your Majesty."

 Chapter 288 DONT UNLOCK! WRONG CHAPTER!!

    Chapter 288 DON''T UNLOCK! WRONG CHAPTER!!


    DO NOT UNLOCK THIS CHAPTER THIS IS THE WRONG CHAPTER AND I AM TOO LAZY TO CHANGE IT. I REPEAT, DO NOT UNLOCK


    ian Luoqiu clenched her teeth as she sat for half an hour without being able to meet Cai Yixue. Not to mention, no one even asked her for a cup of water.


    '' That bitch¡­She is doing this purposely.'' Lian Luoqiu bit her lips as she tried to calm down herself.


    Suddenly, the door opened as Cai Yixue walked out. She wore a white dress with blue dove patterns on the ridges, With her white hairpin and stoic calmness, she was like a white lotus emerging from a clear pond.


    " I hope I didn''t take much time." Cai Yixue spoke with a light smile. " In fact, My husband and I were having breakfast and our usual morning romance."


    " You know, marriage has its own¡­responsibility. But then, you might not know."


    " Hoho, How could I?" Lian Luoqiu gave a forced smile. " Miss Cai must have already tasted the pleasure of martial bed. Unlike you, I am still a young bud of flower, waiting for bloom."


    " But, I guess your husband is pretty romantic, visiting Phoenix Cloud Pavilion now and then."


    Cai Yixue''s face twitched when she saw the smug look on Lian Luoqiu''s lips.


    '' This bitch, she knows I didn''t sleep with Jia Hao yet?''


    '' How could I know? Cai Yixue is like a cold block of ice. She will nevery with a man.'' Lian Luoqiu snorted inwardly.


    " So, Miss Lian, Howe you are here, in such early morning?" Cai Yixue spoke before her eyebrows jumped up. " Ah, Could it be regarding the fire incident in Niu Family''s warehouse?"


    " Well, It looks like Miss Cai is very well informed." Lian Luoqiu''sface twitched. " And yes, The silk the three parties had gathered has¡­burnt in the fire."


    " How awful. My condolences." Cai Yixue spoke with a mild voice. " So, What can I do for you?"


    " How about¡­Selling the remaining silk cocoons and cotton to us?" Lian Luoqiu spoke with a smile. " Since we have a shortage of silk, we shall pay you the usual market value of the remaining goods."


    " Oh my, Is that true?" Cai Yixue was surprised. " Indeed, We are also going to pay you an extra 10% of the total profit." Lian Luoqiu exined. " So, in the end, Cai Family would profit in the end."


    " So, from loss to profit, huh?" Cai Yixue sighed. " Unfortunately, we don''t have much stocks remaining. So, We have to negotiate on the price."


    " Miss Cai, the initial price we gave was 100 taels of gold per three liangs of silk. And now, we are giving the usual 400 taels of gold."


    " But we don''t want it." Cai Yixue looked at her. " The new price is, A thousand taels of gold per three liangs of silk."


    " WHAT!?"


    Lian Luoqiu was rmed when she heard that. " Cai Yixue, Have you gone mad? Do you understand how much are you asking for?!"


    " Currently, Silkward Chamber has no silk to give to the imperial family. Even if the Shen Family and Niu Family pull all their resources, they won''t be able to gather enough silk." Cai Yixue spoke calmly.


    " So, Lian Luoqiu, the Cai Family is the only one who has enough silk cocoon for your business. Take it, or leave,"


    " Yo-You dare to threaten me?" Lian Luoqiu hissed. " Perhaps you don''t know, but I have received the grace of the Third Prince Li Yuan."


    " You sure don''t want me to pull strings for an imperial investigation, no?"


    " Gold is never afraid of fire, Lian Luoqiu." Cai Yixue smiled. " Nor a righteous man is afraid of investigation."


    " You are thinking of putting the charges of arson on our Cai Family?" Cai Yixue chuckled. " The Court of Magistrate is open. All you need to do is to lodge aint and show evidence."


    " Magistrate Cai is very impartial."


    Lian Luoqiu almost burst with anger when she heard that. However, thinking about something, she looked at Cai Yixue.


    " I want to talk with him."


    " Talk with who?"


    " The one behind everything." Lian Luoqiu spoke with a deep voice. " Your husband." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " He has a proper name, Luoqiu."


    " I¡­I want to meet Son in Law Jia." Lian Luoqiu gritted her teeth and spoke.


    " Very well, I shall call him." Cai Yixue got up and left. After a while, Jia Hao entered the hall.


    Lian Luoqiu''s expression changed instantly as she wore a sultry smile, cupping her fist and bowing.


    " Greetings, Young Lord Jia, This humbledy is from Silkward Chmabers. I believe you already know the reason for mying."


    Jia Hao raised his brows when he saw Lian Luoqiu. She wore an explosive red dress without any sleeves. The slit of her qipao gave an ample look to her slender legs and plump thighs.


    Not to mention, as she bowed, the cleavage gave a nice view of her dark ravine.


    '' Damn, Did shee here to seduce me or what?'' Jia Hao couldn''t help but snort.


    Seeing Jia Hao''s gaze, Lian Luoqiu''s lips curled up. '' Hmph, I knew it.''


    " Young Lord Jia, Our Silkward Chamber is in quite a predicament. You already know about our loss. So, We are thinking of buying your silk with five hundred taels¡­"


    " Minmin!"


    Jia Hao shouted, cutting off Lian Luoqiu. Minmin arrived as she bowed. " Yes, Young Lord?"


    " Where is your manners?" Jia Hao scolded her. " A guest is sitting here, and you didn''t bring any tea?"


    " I am sorry, Young Lord. I shall go and fetch some tea." Minmin bowed as she hurried to bring back some tea.


    Lian Luoqiu felt a bit awkward when Jia Hao cut his sentence. " Thank you for the consideration, Young Lord Jia."


    " So, How much price are you giving?"


    " I think it''s¡­Six hundred taels¡­Yes. Six hundred taels per three liang¡­"


    At that moment, Minmin brought tea and ced it on the table.


    " So, Young Lord Jia, Six hundred taels¡­"


    " Minmin!" Jia Hao shouted again. " You only brought tea? Where are the snacks?"


    " I am sorry, Young Lord. I shall bring them right away¡­"


    Lian Luoqiu''s heart turned cold as she looked at Jia Hao with a cold gaze.


    " So, Miss Lian, you were saying¡­"


    " I was saying, What''s the price you want?"


    " Uhm, Let me guess." Jia Hao thought for a moment before smiling. " How about a thousand taels of gold per three liang of silk?"

 Chapter 289 Spreading The News

    Chapter 289 Spreading The News


    The news of Sky Martial Tower''s demise spread across the entire province like wildfire. Everyone was shocked when they heard.


    As Meng Zhi managed the intelligence department, it wasn''t long before she received the news.


    Her expression turned odd when she received the news. '' Wait, How many days has been since Long Ming left for the Sky Martial Tower?''


    '' In the meantime, the sect protection formation actually disappeared and the invasion happened out of nowhere?''


    " What happened, Meng Zhi? What news did you receive?" Xia Yuqing was sitting before Meng Zhi as both of them were ying Go on the board.


    She noticed a flying paper cranending on Meng Zhi''s shoulder. So, Xia Yuqing assumed that Meng Zhi must have received important news.


    " Well, Let me ask you something first." Meng Zhi looked at Xia Yuqing. " What do you think Long Ming must be doing there?"


    " He? I believe he must have arrived there by now? And, Probably gathering information." Xia Yuqing replied. " Not to mention, I have repeatedly told him to not do anything dangerous without contacting us."


    " Why? Did he do anything?"


    " Well, He did actually." Meng Zhi chuckled. " He did something pretty unexpected."


    " Oh? What did he report?" Xia Yuqing was interested.


    " As if." Meng Zhi rolled her eyes. " He didn''t report anything. I received the news from another source."


    " Yesterday, the Sect Protection Barrier of the Sky Martial Tower vanished suddenly, making the Eastern Sky Sect attack the Sky Martial Tower and eradicate it."


    " What?"


    Xia Yuqing was stunned as the chess piece almost fell from her hands. " You mean¡­Long Ming did all that?"


    " Well, Who else other than him could do it?" Meng Zhi shook her head. " So many people, so many sect tried. Yet, The Sect Protection Formation didn''te down."


    " But it suddenly vanished after Long Ming''s arrival. Don''t you think it''s fishy?"


    " I understand." Xia Yuqing muttered. " But how could he have done that? It''s not like he is a Dao Refining Realm cultivator with knowledge of a Formation Emperor."


    " Elder Sister, Have you forgotten?" Meng Zhi smiled teasingly


    . " He asked us to keep the ring of the Sect Master of Sky Martial Tower. Perhaps he found the key inside that?"


    " That rascal, he already nned everything." Xia Yuqing was speechless.


    " s, there should be quite a lot of treasure inside the Sky Martial Tower. Not to mention, the treasures and techniques they stole from us all those years ago."


    " Should we prepare to purchase them back from the Eastern Sky Sect?"


    " Well, There is a catch." Meng Zhi replied. " My informer states that the Eastern Sky Sect wasn''t too pleased after capturing the sect. Because the treasury of the Sky Martial Tower was almost empty."


    " Perhaps, the high ranking members of the Sky Martial Tower ran away with the treasures?"


    " Those bastards!" Xia Yuqing clenched her fist. " It''s very fitting for them to do this."


    " And, What about that rascal? Any news regarding him?"


    " Well, It looks like Elder Sister is caring about him, huh?" Xia Yuqing couldn''t help but blush when she heard Meng Zhi''s teasing. " Th-That''s nonsense! I care about him because he is my disciple, alright? He is also the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."


    " And?" Meng Zhi raised her brows. " Nothing else?"


    " Else what?"


    " Like¡­Personal attendant of¡­intimate needs¡­"


    Xia Yuqing was stunned for a moment before her cheeks turned red. " Yo-You! Meng Zhi you wench!"


    " Ahaha! Elder Sister, Don''t chase after me! I didn''t say anything wrong!"


    Meng Zhi turned into a wisp of ck smoke as he vanished from her seat. Suddenly, a sword stabbed there, making the seat crack.


    " Just stop and ept your punishment! How dare you to tease me like that!"


    Xia Yuqing held her sword and chased after Meng Zhi.


    " Hmph, Girl, It looks like your cultivation has increased, huh?" Xia Yuqing''s eyes squinted when she saw Meng Zhi''s agility. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " All thanks to Long Ming." Meng Zhi grinned. " Thanks to him, I was able to correct my cultivation technique and repair my foundation."


    " Ah, Those intense dual cultivation sessions." Meng Zhi closed her eyes as she smacked her lips.


    " I have to admit. Dual cultivating with Long Ming is better than a high grade elixir. Not to mention, his yang energy is perfect for my Evil Moon Yin Qi."


    Xia Yuqing''s face froze when she heard that. " Yi-You! You are¡­"


    " Ayoo, Elder Sister." Meng Zhi waved her hand as she tried to y it cool. " There is nothing wrong in cultivation, right? And dual cultivation is just like that."


    " It''s just that¡­There is both pleasure and benefit mixed there."


    Suddenly, Meng Zhi''s expression turned stiff as she felt a gush of icy wind around her body.


    " Well, You are pretty carefree today, eh?" " Elder Sister¡­"


    Meng Zhi''s heart chilled when she saw the smile on Xia Yuqing''s face. Suddenly, her feet froze as ayer of ice covered them. She tried to do her best, but the ice remained solid as crystals.


    " Your punishment, stand here like this for the entire day."Xia Yuqing snorted as she waved her hands. Suddenly, Meng Zhi felt her meridians and divine sea getting blocked, making her unable to flow her true qi


    " Elder Sister, My skin will dry if I stand below the sun like this." Meng Zhi couldn''t help but whimper.


    " Well, Then take this a a cultivation session." Xia Yuqinh smiled brightly. " Sure, not enjoyable as dual cultivation with my disciple. But as you said, cultivation is cultivation, right?"


    " Yo-You!"


    Meng Zhi felt a strange loss when she heard Xia Yuqinh''s words. She was returning her own reasoning to her.


    '' Tch, Elder Sister became more sharp, huh?'' Meng Zhi couldn''t help but mutter inwardly.


    '' Well, Let''s just wait till hees back. Hehe, I will see Elder Sister''s reaction.''


    Meanwhile¡­


    In a bustling city, a handsome young man was walking around leisurely. The silky robe of silver color with yellow flower patterns was perfectly fitting to his body. His hair was lush ck, like a raven''s wings. The long hair was tied into a perfect pony, with a small sword hairpin keeping the hair bun pinned.


    Long Ming took a deep breath as he walked on the street with absolute leisure.


    '' So, this is what you feel after walking like an ordinary person while carrying the world''s wealth?''


    '' Look at these peasants, carrying Xuan grade weapons and bing so arrogant. And that person, that''s just a thousand-year-old herb. Why is he treating it like a treasure?''


    '' Tsk, These poor peasants. They don''t know how high the sky is.''


    Suddenly, Long Ming''s steps paused as he saw a carriage rushing towards his direction. The giant tiger pulling the carriage was a powerful demonic beast, making people intimidate.


    Long Ming sighed as he stepped to the side. However, the carriage still tilted towards him.


    '' Shit, here we go again.''


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Lol, I almost forgot this novel existed. I will try to post regrly

 Chapter 290 Two Beauties And Tea Time

    Chapter 290 Two Beauties And Tea Time


    In most stories, when the protagonist walks down on the road, most of the time a rowdy young master travels on the main road with a high speed vehicle.


    While the pedestrian moves away, the protagonist never moves. Using his power, he even blocks the iing young master, making him lose his face.


    After that, the rich young master would get angry, and start talking about the influence of his father then his grandfather, all the way to his seventh generation ancestor.


    Then, the protagonist and the young master would fight, making a mess of the total situation.


    Therefore, Long Ming wanted to avoid such a scenario. He wanted to peacefully walk out like a normal person.


    However, he still underestimated the power of the generic plot.


    No matter how much he tried to avoid it, the young man riding the tiger demonic beast charged towards him.


    '' Haah, People really love to ruin my good mood.'' Long Ming sighed as he used the Mountain Moving Fist.


    *BOOOM!*


    His palm transformed into a gigantic palm as a powerful aura shot up. The young man riding the tiger was stunned, but he urged his mount to rush forward.


    The tiger felt the obstacle as it roared. Its demonic aura exploded out, making the surrounding crowd suffocate. The tiger was a powerful demonic beast of the Low stage of the Harmonization Realm. Its powerful demonic aura could easily frighten any ordinary cultivator.


    But then, the mount and its master''s expression changed as Long Ming''s palm expanded. It was like the palm was powerful enough to uproot an entire mountain.


    *BOOOOOM*


    Like swatting a fly, Long Ming swatted away the young man and the demonic tiger. With a loud noise, they crashed into the surrounding building.


    " Damn it! Which bastard dares to hurt¡­"


    The young man shouted as he instantly jumped out from the rubble. However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw a fist right before his face.


    " Shut the fuck up!"


    *BOOOM!*


    His vision blurred as he mmed into the wall once again. The demonic tiger got up as it growled at Long Ming. However, before it could go and protect its master, Long Ming simply nced at it.


    His Heavenly Revtion Eyes and Deste Immortal Aura erupted naturally, making the demonic tiger cower.


    "Me-Meow¡­"


    It meowed and rolled on the ground, showing its defeat.


    " Good cat."


    Long Ming chortled as he held the cor of the young man and got him up. " Listen, I don''t have the time to listen about the greatness of your family. Therefore, shut the fuck up and lie still!"


    *PA! PA ! PA!*


    The young man wanted to say something, but Long Ming gave him a few tight ps, knocking him out instantly.


    The crows stood nearby with an awed expression. However, many of them couldn''t help but state their dissatisfaction.


    " Tch, Don''t you think the fight was a bit¡­unsatisfactory?"


    " Yeah, I feel something iscking."


    " Ah, You mean the exchange of the dialogues?"


    " Yes! Both parties didn''t introduce themselves. Not to mention, that handsome looking young man simply obliterated the other party."


    " Haah, I hoped to see a dog fight though."


    Long Ming''s face twitched when he heard thements of the bystanders. '' These bastards were so scared a moment ago. Now they arementing as if they are watching some drama.''


    " Who is making a ruckus here!?"


    " Who attacked our Eastern Sky Sect disciple?"


    Long Ming didn''t wish to have any trouble. So, he simply activated his shing Lightning Steps and vanished from the scene.


    The only thing that remained was the flickering arcs of lightning on the ground.


    Not long after, the disciples of Eastern Sky Sect and City Guards arrived. " Which bastard did this?"


    " Don''t let him escape!"


    However, no matter how much they searched, they couldn''t find any trace of Long Ming at all.


    '' Oh, That bastard was from the Eastern Sky Sect?'' Long Ming was more relieved when he realized that.


    '' Well, If something happens, I will simply ask Qiu Ruoyou to sort it out.''


    '' Haha, This is the privilege of having a girlfriend in a higher position.''


    Not long after, Long Ming arrived at the Eastern Sky Temple. As he thought, the sect was very busy.


    They were hunting after the remaining disciples of Sky Martial Tower and taking over their businesses. After all, if they don''t show haste, other powerhouses would make their move, and the benefits would reduce.


    This time, Long Ming simply used a token given to him by Qiu Ruoyou. So, no one stopped him as he got inside.


    " My, My! Look who hase here."


    Long Ming chuckled as he saw Qiu Ruoyou standing near the door and weing Long Ming.


    He paused his steps a bit as he saw there were some maids working around. However, Qiu Ruoyou seemed to understand his thoughts.


    " Don''t worry, They are my loyal maids. They would rather die than reveal my secrets. So, you can be rxed."


    Long Ming''s grin turned wide as walked towards Qiu Ruoyou. Holding her waist, he kissed her lips tenderly.


    Qiu Ruoyou didn''t stop him as she also leaned over Long Ming, savoring his tongue.


    "I''ve never seen you wee my brother like this though?"


    A sharp voice made Qiu Ruoyou and Long Ming pause for a moment. However, it was only a moment before they resumed their passionate kiss.


    Jiang Wanxue rolled her eyes as she couldn''t look at them anymore. Breaking the kiss, Qiu Ruoyou looked at Jiang Wanxue and quipped.


    '' Such a slut. She is married to a prince of Holy Qilin Dynasty, but only indulging with Long Ming like this.''


    " Well, You are talking like my husband is worthy enough to get such affection from me." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    " But, Long Ming is different though." Grinning, she looked back at Long Ming, tracing his jawline adoringly. " Besides, It''s not like you don''t know it. Long Ming better than that bastard by many times."


    " Hmph, Both of you are perverts."


    " Well, Don''t be jealous, Princess."


    Jiang Wanxue''s breath hitched as she felt a presence hugging her from behind. " Let me go!"


    In that moment, Long Ming simply performed a teleportation and appeared behind Jiang Wanxue, giving her no chance to escape.


    " Well, Come on¡­" Long Ming kept hugging her as he nted a kiss on her nape. " I shall show you some affection too."


    Qiu Ruoyou smacked her lips as she saw Jiang Wanxue squirming under Long Ming''s hug.


    At first, Jiang Wanxue struggled. But realizing it was futile, she let it go and leaned to Long Ming.


    Their kiss was short, but Jiang Wanxue could feel her body burning with desire and shame.


    " Enough! Don''t you think you can seduce me like that!"


    Snapping back to her senses, Jiang Wanxue got free and pushed Long Ming back.


    Long Ming only grinned as he shrugged. " Well, Don''t tell me you didn''t like it?"


    " I¡­ Hmph! That''s none of your business!" Jiang Wanxue snorted as she turned away.


    " Alright, Both of you calm down." Qiu Ruoyouughed as she turned around. " I have prepared some snacks for you guys. We can talk there."


    Long Ming chuckled as he joined both beauties at the table. The maids soon decorated it with various teas and snacks. Pouring some spiritual tea, Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming.


    " So, You really broke the formation, huh? Did you got any treasure?"


    " Whaa?" Long Ming grinned innocently.


    " I thought all the treasures were taken away by the elders of Sky Martial Tower?"


    Both Qiu Ruoyou and Jiang Wanxue gave him a skeptical look. However, Long Ming''s amazing storytelling finally trapped them, making them believe him.


    " Well, I have got news for you." Jiang Wanxue looked at him.


    " Father wants to meet you."


    Long Ming''s smile faltered when he heard that.

 Chapter 291 Nightly Discussions?

    Chapter 291 Nightly Discussions?


    Long Ming stared at Jiang Wanxue. " Are you being serious? Like, really?"


    " What? Why do you think I am lying about this matter?" Jiang Wanxue snorted lightly.


    " No, It''s not like that. But¡­Do I have to meet him? Long Ming mumbled as he looked away.


    " Why? Are you afraid, Young Master Long?" Jiang Ruoyou''s smile bloomed.


    " Maybe you killed one of his sons? Or, maybe you slept with his daughter and daughter inw?"


    " Huh? Wait, what?" Qiu Ruoyou stared at Long Ming as she got up. " Who did he kill? The one who died in Azure Sun Secret Realm?"


    " Well, idents happen." Long Ming shrugged as he didn''t give any clear answer.


    " Tsk, You are quite something, Aren''t you?" Qiu Ruoyou grinned. " But, You don''t need to worry. His Majesty won''t do anything rashly."


    " Not to mention, The Four Seasons Valley has already shown its fangs. The Holy Qilin Empire wouldn''t agitate the sect for nothing."


    " But still, Why would he want to meet me?" Long Ming frowned. " Mingling with Imperial Family would be anything but good. Not to mention, I will instantly attract the attention of quite a lot of people."


    " You already did." Jiang Wnauxe shrugged. " A little more won''t hurt, right?"


    " Hmph, I can see that glee on your face, Jiang Wanxue. Don''t dare to hide it."


    " I am not hiding it. I am openly gloating at your situation."


    Long Ming sighed as he stretched his arms. " Well, I guess I can''t refuse the Emperor''s invitation, can I?"


    " Then I would rather meet him as fast as possible. Because, The Heavenly Fountain Pce is going to open soon."


    " Ah, You are also going there? Reasonable." Jiang Wanxue pondered. " However, unlike the Azure Sun Secret Realm, the Heavenly Fountain Pce would attract the people from across the provinces."


    " You are going to meet various geniuses of a third of Rain Dragon Continent there."


    " Ooh, Sounds pretty exciting." Long Ming grinned when he heard that. " I guess I will broaden my horizon there."


    " It won''t be as easy as you think." Jiang Wanxue chuckled. " Don''t think only Four Seasons Valley possesses Imperial Treasures."


    " The Heavenly Fountain Pce going to be pretty bloody." Qiu Ruoyou muttered. " Last time it opened, I heard more than twenty Dao Refining Realm elders fell there."


    " Wow, That''s pretty dangerous." Long Ming''s eyes squinted. " But then, I heard there are cultivation restrictions there. So, High level cultivators can''t act as they please."


    " There are many ways to cheat the restrictions. I am sure you have already seen in the Azure Sun Secret Realm." Jiang Wanxue spoke.


    " What about you? Aren''t you going?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " Not only me, but all the princes are also going to participate. Not just them, even two of our hidden elders areing out." Long Ming rubbed his chin as he thought about it. The two elders would probably be at the High stage of the Nine Transformation of Soul Realm.


    '' I don''t think the empire would send out a Dao Refining Realm cultivator. Because the internal turmoil is enough here.'' '' But then, Giving a True Imperial Weapon to each prince wouldn''t be a far fetch idea.''


    '' Tch, rich bastards. And here I am, I have to use all resources carefully because the energy inside the Imperial Treasure gets reduced after each use.''


    However, remembering the fight between the Sky Martial Tower and Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming couldn''t help but sigh.


    The sh of power, the fight between the Empress Winter Song and Skyward Spear Emperor was simply magnificent.


    '' One day, I will also have such strength. Overturning heaven and earth with a flip of my hands.'' Long Ming sighed as he fell into deep thought.


    " So, What do you say?"


    Long Ming''s lips curled as he looked at Qiu Ruoyou. " Sister Qiu, Are youing with us?"


    " Why should I? So I can get assassinated again?" Qiu Ruoyou rolled her eyes.


    " Besides, After Sky Martial Tower''s fall, we need to do a lot of things here. There are so many mines and resource nodes which needed to be captured."


    " I know, Sister Qiu. But, The Yellow Bronze mine along with the spirit vein in the northeast mountain, I need them for our Four Seasons Sect." Long Ming looked at her.


    " I mean, Our Sect also needs somepensation from Sky Martial Tower, yes? For everything they have done to us¡­"


    " Greedy fellow." Qiu Ruoyoy quipped. " Fine, I shall talk to father about this."


    " That would be very helpful, Sister Qiu." Long Mingughed.


    " So, What about you, Sister Jiang? Are you returning?"


    " Yes, I believe so. I have to report back so His Majesty would send the Grand Generals to take over the situation here."


    " Tsk Tsk, Same old empire, always trying to monopolize the resources." Qiu Ruoyou snorted lightly. " I guess I have to hasten up my disciples after all."


    " Well, Since Sister Jiang is returning, How about Ie with you?" Long Ming grinned. " In that way, I will also visit His Majesty?"


    " Huh?"


    Jiang Wanxue could feel Long Ming was onto something. But as usual, she couldn''t see through his feelings behind that handsome bastard face.


    " Well, If you say so¡­"


    " Then it''s settled." Long Ming pped his palms. " Don''t try to change it, yeah?"


    '' Why do I feel I walked right into his trap?'' Jiang Wanxue muttered inwardly.


    " Alright, Since you are leaving, Allow me to escort you out." Qiu Ruoyou got up and beckoned them.


    " And Dear, You muste back soon, ok?" Qiu Ruoyou let out a light whimper. " How else am I going to live without you?"


    " Lady Qiu, If Ie often, won''t I get drained to death?" Long Ming teased her.


    " Oh please, I know my dear has a rather¡­virile body." Qiu Ruoyou grinned. " I have to grind very passionately to squeeze out that nectar, you see?"


    " Both of you¡­How vulgar." Jiang Wanxue snorted as she turned away. However, her face still turned a shade of pink.


    As the three went to the main gate of the sect, a group of people came from the opposite direction.


    " Huh? It-It''s you!"


    A young man with battered clothing pointed at Long Ming and shouted. " Elder! It''s him! He ambushed me in the middle of the road!"


    " What? Really?"


    Qiu Ruoyou creased her brows as she looked at Long Ming.


    " Dear?"


    " He tried to crush me with his mount." Long Ming shrugged. " Just gave him some ps."


    " Ok, I shall handle it." Qiu Ruoyou threw a smile at Long Ming as she walked to that person.


    " Dan it! Bastard! You dare to show your face here?"


    " So what if he had beaten you? Do you even know who he is?" Qiu Ruoyou snorted.


    " La-Lady Qiu, I¡­"


    The elder who was acting high and mighty suddenly took a step back and bowed. After all, Who was Qiu Ruoyou? The daughter of the Sect Master!


    " Hmph, Your disciple offended him and nowhe is making a fuss?" Qiu Ruoyou snorted. " Take him to the cave of silence for a month."


    " N-No! I didn''t do anything!"


    But the young man shut up when he saw the re of Qiu Ruoyou. Looking behind her, He saw Long Ming giving him a middle finger.


    " Connections, Bitch."


    " Bas-Bastard!! PUUFF!"


    Coughing a mouthful of blood from anger, that young man fell to the ground.


    " I... I shall teach him manners, Lady Qiu. Please forgive him." The elder hurriedly bowed and dragged that disciple away.


    " Can you not act so childish?" Jiang Wanxue looked at Long Ming.


    " Why should I not?" Long Ming grinned. " One should always keep their inner child alive."


    Jiang Wanxue scowled, but her lips still curled.


    Soon, A flying treasure boat descended, bearing the g of the Imperial Family of the Holy Qilin Dynasty. Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming bored on the flying boat, bidding goodbye to Qiu Ruoyou.


    Later in night¡­


    " What are you doing here?"


    Jiang Wanxue''s voice trembled as she saw Long Ming on her bed.


    Why do you think I asked for a lift?" Long Ming gave a devious grin.


    " So, How about Princess of the Holy Qilin Empire teach me some imperial etiquette before I meet the Emperor?"


    " We have the entire night after all~"N?v(el)B\\jnn

 Chapter 292 Imperial Palace of Holy Qilin

    Chapter 292 Imperial Pce of Holy Qilin


    Jiang Wanxue''s eyes slowly fluttered as she yawned, slowly getting upnguidly.


    Stretching arm, she could feel a pleasant soreness across her body.


    " Ugh, What happenedst night¡­"


    She rubbed her forehead as she tried to remember the events of thest night.


    Suddenly, she felt a light breathing sound next to her. Turning to the side, she could see Long Ming sleeping peacefully, with his arm hugging her belly affectionately.


    And of course, both of them were butt naked.


    Jiang Wanxue couldn''t help but snort as she tried to push him away. But she paused in the midway, leaning towards Long Ming''s face.


    " You are a hell of a cheeky bastard."


    Long Ming''s eyes slowly opened as he grinned. " Oh, I shall take that as apliment, My princess."


    " Hmph!"


    Jiang Wanxue snorted as she tried to get up. But Long Ming simply grabbed her waist and pulled her into his embrace. Their skin molded against each other and Long Ming could feel the heat of her skin.


    " Rascal! Let me go!"


    She tried to struggle free from Long Ming''s arms. However, such an attempt looks like a cute kitten trying to bare its fangs towards its owner.


    " Come on, Let''s not miss our good morning cuddle, yes?" Long Ming grinned as he kissed her nape, his palm roaming over her curves.


    With a sigh, Jiang Wanxue stopped moving. She realized it would be futile to waste her energy here. Long Ming isn''t going to let her go no matter what.


    " You really got me drunk and took advantagest night." Jiang Wanxue muttered as her back was lying on Long Ming''s chest.


    " That''s a rather serious usation, My princess." Long Mingughed lightly.


    " I believe we drank the Four Seasons Wine after I told you my intention? If you didn''t give me consent, you wouldn''t have drunk the wine at all."


    " I am not a person who took advantage of a drunk person."


    " Look who is talking¡­" Jiang Wanxue snorted lightly. " You practically forced yourself on me in Azure Sun Secret Realm¡­"


    " Well, That¡­" Long Ming''s expression turned stiff. " Ahem, I will admit that one. But I helped you afterward, no?"


    " Therefore, Don''t think too much and enjoy the moment."


    " Nngh¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue moaned lightly as she felt Long Ming''s palm fondling her breasts. Just with a single touch, her nipples were hard and erect.


    '' Why does he feel so good? I can''t just ask him to stop¡­'' Jiang Wanxue mumbled inwardly.


    " Nnghh! Don''t¡­Don''t touch there¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue whimpered as Long Ming''s finger slid below her lower abdomen, gently caressing her folds.


    " Why? Feeling sore there?"


    " Of course." Jiang Wanxue tilted her head and red at Long Ming.


    " Thanks to someone who kept going till the dawn."


    " Fine, I shall keep it light¡­ Let me help you¡­"


    Jiang Wanxue hissed as she felt Long Ming rub her folds, parting the vertical lips gently.


    Strange enough, she felt her soreness slowly fading away,


    '' But heavens¡­The teasing¡­It''s making me so aroused.''


    '' This damned bastard, he is doing it on purpose!''


    " Just¡­Just stop already." Jiang Wanxue panted as she spoke in a light voice.


    "It''s already morning. It wouldn''t be good if my maids see you like this with me."


    " Hmm, You are right."


    Jiang Wanxue sighed as she saw Long Ming getting up. He casually walked around the room naked, trying to get his robes.


    " Do you have no shame? At least pretend to hide that¡­thing." Jiang Wanxue muttered.


    " Well, You literally felt this body to the fullst night. Now, you are being shy?" Long Ming grinned as he stood before Jiang Wanxue, shing himselfpletely to her.


    " Pervert.."


    Jiang Wanxue''s face turned red as she looked away. She held the bedsheet and wrapped it around herself, hiding her naked body.


    Not long after, Long Ming found himself on the deck of the flying treasure boat. His upper body was bare as he enjoyed the morning wind.


    '' Hmm, With this speed, It will take a few hours more to reach the Holy Qilin City.'' Long Ming thought inwardly.


    '' But I have a treasure trove worth of materials. I wonder if I can do this?''


    Long Ming took out the Purple Lotus mes and started to use it. The moment he held the lump of burning mes, Long Ming felt his entire body start to melt.


    It was if he took a dip in the moltenva, making his body disperse in the heat.


    '' Ugh! This me¡­It''s so powerful!''


    Long Ming was rmed as he felt the me qi spread across his body. He quickly used the power of his Nether Dragon Void Devouring physique to suppress the power of the mes.


    '' Damn, No wonder it''s a natural treasure of the heaven and earth. Even Dao Refining Realm Elders would lust after its power.''


    '' No, I must not use it right now. Let''s store it inside my divine sea now.''


    Long Ming realized that he could only use the potential of the Purple Lotus me to its fullest after he transcended the physique tribtion of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.


    With a thought, The Supreme Scripture of Myriad Physiques appeared in his mind. All the Yang and Fire attribute physique cultivation techniques appeared in his heart.


    '' Verdant Sun Imperial Body, It would be perfect for my future heavenly physique.''


    '' I have already cultivated the Azure me Royal Body. But it got devoured by my Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique along with my Great Mystic Mountain Physique. So technically, right now I only have one physique.''


    '' Let''s think about it after I cross the physique tribtion.'' Long Ming sighed.


    Although it refined the Purple Lotus me just a bit and stored inside his divine sea, Long Ming can tap into its power thanks to his Azure me Royal Body.


    As he cultivated, the treasure boat finally reached the Holy Qilin City.


    " Get up, We have arrived.


    Long Ming opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Wanxue. With a nod, he got up and readied himself.


    Following Jiang Wanxue, Long Ming arrived at the grand Imperial Pce of the Holy Qilin Empire.


    " Wow, Such a magnificent pce." Long Ming couldn''t help but click his tongue. " Of course, This is the heart of the empire. It has to be grand." Jiang Wanxue spoke in a proud voice.


    " But so many carvings of sea creatures¡­So, the roots of the Imperial Family do belong to the Ring of Thousand Inds."


    " Well, I won''t deny the rumors." Jiang Wanxue chuckled. " But exining it would be tedious."


    " Alright, Get ready. Don''t do anything foolish before His Majesty." N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " Haha, How can I mess in front of my future Father in Law?" Long Ming couldn''t help but grin.


    " Yo-You! Precisely this! Don''t do such things before him!" Jiang Wanxue was angered.


    But as they were passing, both of them stopped.


    " Look look, Who hase." Long Ming''s eyes narrowed as he recognized the figure. But his lips curled upward as he bowed.


    " Greetings, First Prince Qin Zhen."


    Qin Zhen looked at Long Ming with calm eyes. But the anger and disdain behind those eyes was bare.


    " First Prince, His Majesty has summoned him." Jiang Wanxue spoke first, subtly warning Qin Zhen to not do anything.


    " Of course, Since he is a guest, It''s our duty to make him feelfortable." Qin Zhen spoke lightly.


    " But, It''s better to remain careful. Who knows, If something will happen?"


    "I shall be careful, Prince Qin Zhen." Long Ming smiled politely. " I know how to take care of myself."


    '' And your wife, Of course.''

 Chapter 293 Meeting The Emperor

    Chapter 293 Meeting The Emperor


    Qin Zhen felt a strange difort when he saw the smile of Long Ming. '' Damn it, Why am I feeling like this? This bastard must have some evil thoughts about be.''


    He felt like punching Long Ming''s face right there. But Qin Zhen calmed his urges.


    " Ahem, Very well, I hope you remain¡­Safe and sound."


    With a snort, Qin Zhen turned around and left. Long Ming couldn''t help but show him a middle finger, but he got bumped by Jiang Wanxue.


    " Damn it! Are you mad?" Jiang Wanxue couldn''t help but quip. " Disrespecting the first prince, you might face some trouble."


    " Hehe, I wonder if the Holy Qilin Empire would punish me for that?" Long Ming shrugged.


    " Now, behave as we are going to enter the Imperial Study Hall." Jiang Wanxue snorted as she walked forward.


    Reaching the doorsteps, Long Ming''s Heavenly Revtion Eyes shed as he surveyed the surroundings.


    '' Interesting, there are two Noble grade formations deployed here. So, Even if a Dao Refining Realm assassin takes action, he won''t be able to be sessful.''


    '' Not to mention, there are also hidden guards. Are they the Death Guards of the Emperor?''


    " What are you looking at?"


    " Nothing, Just admiring the scenery." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Long Ming and Jiang Wanxue stepped inside with Jiang Wanxue guiding him.


    Suddenly, an eunuch appeared before them, stopping their way.


    " Hoho, Princess Wanxue, What are you doing here?"


    " Uncle Shu, His Majesty wishes to meet the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming."


    " Ah, I remember. Indeed, The True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley¡­Not bad."


    Long Ming suddenly shivered when he felt the gaze of Eunuch Shu. He saw how he licked his lips while admiring Long Ming''s physique.


    '' Damn it, Are all eunuchs are old perverts?'' Long Ming couldn''t help but shout inwardly.


    But he had to admit, the strength of Eunuch Shu wasn''t low at all. He already reached the Mid stage of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm.


    '' Not to mention, who knows what sort of tricks he is hiding?''


    But, Long Ming''s expression remained friendly as he cupped his fist.


    " Junior Long Ming greets Eunuch Shu."


    " Not bad, You are definitely worth grooming." Eunuch Shu smiled. " Does Young Master Long have some time after meeting the Emperor? We can have some private chat in my courtyard."


    " I am afraid I can''t guarantee you that, Eunuch Shu." Long Ming''s face twitched as he suppressed his curse.


    " After all, I dare not to guess how long His Majesty shall talk with me. I can''t just leave in the middle, right?"


    " Ah, Yes. You are right. Let''s think about this some other day." Eunuch Shu showed a tinge of regret.


    '' You bastard, Why do I feel you are talking about a different kind of grooming?'' Long Ming couldn''t help but mumble in his heart.


    He felt like Eunuch Shu''s thoughts were anything but pure.


    " Please, Come inside. Emperor is waiting for you." Eunuch Shu turned around and opened the door.


    As Long Ming stepped inside, His body shivered by feeling a pair of gazes.


    It was like a gigantic predator was looking at him, or a heavy mountain weighing on his body.


    His Deste Immortal Aura shone from his body, and his Immovable Will made his heart firm.


    Kneeling with a single knee, Long Ming bowed. " True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, Long Ming, greets the Emperor of Holy Qilin Empire."


    " Hoho, Not bad. You can stand up."


    Long Ming got up and looked at the Emperor. The Emperor, Qin Shuang sat wearing a yellow dragon robe, with a small crown mixed with gold and purple cloth on his head.


    Although it wasn''t the first time Long Ming had seen him, He could still feel that imposing aura from his body.


    '' He truly got the bearing of an emperor.''


    With his Heavenly Revtion Eyes, Long Ming tried to gauge Qin Shuang''s power.


    Suddenly, a golden radiance manifested behind Qin Shuang, taking the form of a gigantic qilin.


    " Insolent! You dare to disrespect His Majesty?"


    Long Ming felt a sharp sword intent aiming at his neck. Without fear, he simply used his own sword intent.


    *CLANG!!*


    The sword intents shed as Long Ming took a few steps back, However, He didn''t show any fear at all.


    In front of him stood a man wearing a ck robe, with his face hidden behind a ck mask.


    " It''s alright, You can go back." Qin Shuang replied with a mild voice.


    The ck masked person bowed as he vanished from his spot. Qin Shuang looked at Long Ming with a light chuckle.


    " So, What do you see?"


    " His Majesty''s vitality is like a Blood Qilin and the great national fortune of the Holy Qilin Empire protects him." Long Ming replied with a smile.


    " How can a mere me dare to look at His Majesty?"


    " Haha, What a clever brat. Even if you are lying, you won''t let anyone to suspect you." Qin Shuangughed loudly.


    Long Ming merely smiled but didn''t report Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang''s gaze fell on Jiang Wanxue.


    " How are you, Daughter?"


    " I thank His Majesty for showing concern. I am perfectly fine." Jiang Wanxue replied with a cid voice.


    '' Oho! Imperial Family drama? I should have brought some popcorn.'' Long Ming chuckled inwardly.


    " Heh, Stil cold as always, Huh?" Qin Shuang sighed as he looked at Long Ming.


    " You have caused quite some stir in the Holy Qilin Empire. Among all the junior generation, you are currently the most shining one."


    " His Majesty is ttering me. I am just a cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. How can I call myself the strongest?" Long Ming chuckled


    " Is that so?" Qin Shuang chuckled. " Then how did this small cultivator break the formation of the Sky Martial Tower?"


    " Reporting to His Majesty. Our sect is able to refine a spare key using the blood of the Sect Master Shen. So, I managed to infiltrate the sect with that."


    " After entering, I destroyed the formation from inside, making it copse."


    " Well, If you can go inside the grand formation like that¡­Doesn''t that mean you can also steal various treasures inside the Sky Martial Tower?"


    Long Ming''s expression froze when he heard that. " His Majesty is overestimating me. I broke the formation because the Sky Martial Tower was too arrogant, leading them not to protect the core."


    " As for the treasures, I only managed to scrap some items and information from Core Disciple residents. How can I eye on the Treasure Tower, which is guarded by a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm expert?"


    " Hmm, You are right, Unless you used a Natal Imperial Treasure to its full potential, It would have been impossible." Qin Shuang spoke.


    " But, I wonder if you have any information regarding the Sky Fountain Pce?"

 Chapter 294 What Do You Think About Wanxue?

    Chapter 294 What Do You Think About Wanxue?


    Long Ming''s expression became thoughtful when he heard that. However, he didn''t say anything.


    " His Majesty, It may be possible that we have received some better information. However, If His Majesty doesn''t specify, how can I answer?"


    " Is that so?" Qin Shuang looked at Long Ming.


    " The Sky Fountain Pce is where our First Ancestor''s Grave is lying. However, before that grave was set up he took away all of his treasures and stored them in a secured ce."


    '' For thousands of years, We have been trying to find that ce. However, we were unsessful."


    " Currently, there are some treasures which our Imperial Family needs urgently. Therefore, all of the Imperial Family is going to participate in this treasure hunt."


    " His Majesty wishes me to find it?" Long Ming pursed his lips. "Ah, But I am not even a part of the Imperial Family. What if I take the treasure and run away."


    " Hehe, Don''t say that. You are also technically part of the Imperial Family now."


    Long Ming''s face fell as his back suddenly drenched with cold. His eyes suddenly darted to Jiang Wanxue, trying to see her expression.


    '' Thatss¡­She didn''t reallyin about me to Qin Shuang, did she?''


    '' Else, I am going to be cooked.''


    Jiang Wanxue stood cidly at the side. However, Qin Shuang''s ambiguous statement also made her shiver a bit. Long Ming noticed the subtle change in her as he looked back at Qin Shuang.


    '' Fuck, Whatever happens, I shall handle it.''


    " Getting a baptism in the Blood Qilin Spring, you extracted the diluted bloodline and refined it as your own. So, can you say you don''t have Imperial Family''s blood inside you?"


    " Ah¡­That?"


    Long Ming paused as he looked at Qin Shuang. " But His Majesty, that would be pretty easy, no? Anyone who takes a bath in the Blood Qilin Spring will get the Imperial Family bloodline."


    " You think it''s that easy?"


    Qin Shuang snorted lightly as he looked at Long Ming. " The ancient qilin statue refines the energy of the heaven and earth and various medicinal herbs to condense the water of the Holy Qilin Pool."


    " However, the blood of Heavenly Qilin and our First Ancestor''s blood is also mixed there. Getting tainted by the qilin bloodline is normal."


    " But, refining the bloodline and using it as your own, you think just anyone can do that?"


    Long Ming gave a wry smile when he heard that. After all, his Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique is a superior extractor and devourer. Without much effort, he refined the spring water and absorbed the powerful bloodline.


    " Therefore, since you have taken such advantage from us, shouldn''t you repay it to us?" Qin Shuang looked at him.


    " Or, You can extract your bloodline and give it to us. Though, I wonder if the process would be painful?"


    " His Majesty is the epitome of mercy. I know you wouldn''t do something like that." Long Ming cupped his fist.


    Jiang Wanxue''s lips twitched when she heard that.


    '' Such a solid bootlicker. Even the ministers are pale before Long Ming''s talent.''


    " However, I need an assurance from His Majesty. If you wish me to try and find the treasure vault, the Imperial Family has to coborate with Four Seasons Valley."


    " In the Sky Fountain Pce, the Imperial Family and the Four Seasons Valleys hall act as allies. And they shall not attack each other."


    " Hmm, What you said is correct. I can assure you that." Qin Shuang nodded.


    " There are only a few main treasures we need from the vault. The rest¡­The rest shall depend on your abilities."


    " His Majesty is wise." Long Ming chuckled. " But this junior is still intrigued."


    " Why does His Majesty believe I would be able to find the location of the vault?"


    " Have you ever heard of divination arts?" Qin Shuang looked at Long Ming.


    " Our grandmaster has looked at the constetions and star, deducing that the treasure vault rted to the Imperial Family shall surface this time."


    " However, rather than a surety, it''s a chance. It''s a chance we have to grab, or else it will miss and we have to wait for the next time."


    " And coincidentally, the supporting stars connect the emergence of the treasure with the Four Seasons Valley."


    " If we are going to get the support from the Four Seasons Valley, who do you think would be the perfect person for this?"


    Long Ming was finally enlightened as he nodded. " I understand His Majesty''s wisdom. Thank you for clearing my doubts."


    " Besides, it wasn''t the sole intention of mine to call you here." Qin Shuang spoke.


    " Can you activate your bloodline? Let me see the intensity."


    Long Ming nodded as he used the qilin bloodline inside him. Suddenly, both his hands turned into sharp ws as scales and feathers appeared on his arm.


    His entire body emitted a golden red hue, like the brilliant me of the setting sun. The fire qi churned around his body as his body gave off a powerful pressure.


    Qin Shuang sat silently, but his pupils still squinted. Jiang Wanxue''s expression changed as she saw Long Ming''s bloodline power.


    '' The qilin bloodline mutated and turned into Blood Qilin Bloodline? That fire attribute¡­It''s so intense.''


    She could feel his own Holy Qilin Bloodline was quivering from the effect.


    Long Ming''s qilin blood was still thin. However, after he cultivated the Azure me Royal Body and absorbed a bit of Purple Lotus me''s power, even the thin bloodline of Qilin inside his mutated more and more.


    Now, it''s aplete fire attribute Blood Qilin bloodlines, which he can use it at any time.


    " Not bad, such a pure bloodline power."


    Qin Shuang rubbed his chin as he looked at Long Ming.


    " What do you think about my Wnaxue?" N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " Huh?"


    Long Ming was stunned as he looked at Qin Shuang. " Your Majesty, I couldn''t understand."


    " Wanxue''s bloodline is also pure, bearing the Holy Qilin Imperial Blood." Qin Shuang replied.


    " So, If both of you have a child, won''t that child be a heavenly genius?"


    " I... That''s a rather interesting proposa-" Long Ming chuckled. But his sentence was cut short.


    " I refuse!"


    Jiang Wanxue blurted, her cheeks burning with shame.

 Chapter 295 Lets Cook Rice?

    Chapter 295 Let''s Cook Rice?


    Both Long Ming and Jiang Wanxue were stunned when they heard Qin Shuang''s proposal.


    " His Majesty, I am afraid I can''t ept to this proposal." Jiang Wanxue replied instantly.


    " Why though? I believe your and Long Ming''s rtionship is pretty good?" Qin Shuang probed. " Not to mention, both of your bloodlines are powerful, like matching pieces of puzzle. I believe your children would have a chance to gain the Imperial Bloodline of Ancient True Qilin, or might even awake the ancestral bloodlines."


    " An ancestral bloodline is no different than a powerful Heavenly Physique. And both our Four Seasons Valley and Holy Qilin Empire would get benefit from it."


    " So, Daughter, You won''t agree?" Qin Shuang chuckled. " Go ahead, present your reason for refusal."


    " His Majesty¡­" Jiang Wanxue clenched her teeth.


    " Father, I just¡­Can''t! It feels weird."


    " Hey, You shouldn''t use phrases like that." Long Ming cut in. " It hurts my fragile heart, you know?"


    " Shut up!"


    Jiang Wanxue red at Long Ming as her gaze returned to Qin Shuang. " Father, I understand your reason. But¡­ I want to serve the Imperial Family and help Second Brother."


    " Wanxue¡­"


    Qin Shuang rubbed his forehead as he looked at Jiang Wanxue. " Hah, So you are finally willing to call me father, eh? What ass."


    " Anyway, I have already decided and I shall talk with Sect Master Xia Yuqing about this."


    " Since you didn''t give me a solid reason, I shall not change my decision. However, I am not in a hurry to marry you both."


    " So, Both of you, spend some time together like an engaged couple."


    " Since His Majesty has willed, I shall obey it." Long Ming cupped his fist.


    " I¡­ I shall obey father." Jiang Wanxue sighed as she also cupped her fist and bowed.


    " Both of you can leave now." As both Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming left, Qin Shuang chuckled.


    " What do you think? He got a rather fascinating Blood Qilin Bloodlines."


    " I never expected someone would refine the Blood Qilin Bloodline from the blood springs." An old man appeared beside Qin Shuang.


    " Your Majesty''s reasoning is right. Princess Qin and Long Ming''s marriage can bring unexpected alliance to our empire."


    " But, Aren''t you being a bit hasty?"


    " What hasty? It''s not like they are some pure friends." Qin Shuang rolled his eyes. " I bet you have sensed that, right? It''s not like Wanxue ispletely against the marriage. She is just shy."


    " Then, What about the Radiant Star Ind? They¡­"


    " They don''t have any rights on Wanxue, or this Holy Qilin Empire." Qin Shuang snorted.


    " Just wait till we assemble the sacred emblem. After that, we shall march back to the Ring of Thousand Inds."


    " We have suffered enough. And it''s time to return back to our homnd."


    " As you wish, Your Majesty." The old man bowed.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Wanxue pinned Long Ming on a wall outside.


    " Why? Aren''t you gloating earlier? Are you happy now?"


    " Why should I not be?" Long Ming smirked. " If someone gets a beautiful wife like you, won''t he be happy?"


    " Yo-You!"


    " And, Don''t act like the Emperor didn''t know about us?" Long Ming leaned towards Jiang Wanxue, whispering lightly near her ears.


    " Sure, He might not know that we already cooked the rice. But he must have known that we already purchased rice, yes?"


    " Shameless!"


    Jiang Wanxue''s ears turned red as she pushed Long Ming away. " Who cooked rice? Don''t you think I don''t understand innuendos!"


    " Hehe, But I am not entirely wrong, am I?" Long Ming chuckled.


    " Heaven forbid your father knows about my exploits. Else he will skin me alive."


    " Hmph, I shall dly watch that show." Jiang Wanxue snorted. " I mean, you can sure say not to marriage. But¡­" Long Ming held her waist, his voice taking a possessive glint.


    " You are mine, Wanxue. I won''t let another man go near you."


    " I am not your doll. Why should I agree to you?" Jiang Wanxue rolled her eyes. But she couldn''t help but feel warm in her heart.


    " Well, go ahead. But believe me, all your suitors are going to die a very terrible death." " Is that so?" Jiang Wanxue chortled. " Fine, Enough of the chit chat. Come to my room. We can discuss it there."


    " But you look pretty distant from your father. Sounds like your rtionship with him isn''t much smooth."


    " It isn''t¡­" Jiang Wanxue mumbled as she sighed.


    " No wonder you still call yourself Jiang Wanxue, not Qin Wanxue."


    " It''s because I don''t want to rte with the Qin Family. Other than brother Qin Chen, I don''t like anyone else."


    " Well, If you don''t want to share, I won''t force you." Long Ming replied.


    " I know Imperial Family has some ratherplicated secrets."


    " Yes, For example, young emperor sleeping with the wife of Jiang n''s junior patriarch."


    " Well¡­"


    Long Ming became speechless when he heard that.But thinking about all the world histories, it didn''t sound much weird at all.


    " It caused a huge scandal back then. Not to mention, my mother got assassinated afterward " Brother Chen''s mother took me in and raised me as a daughter. But when I grew up a bit, I went to the Jiang n and remained with my adoptive father."


    " It must be kinda awkward, eh?" Long Ming asked with a soothing voice.


    " It was very awkward at first." Jiang Wanxue sighed. " But gradually, the Jiang Family epted me."


    " I felt very guilty. So, I vowed to pay back my adoptive father and Jiang Family the honor they lost."


    " I only want to make Second Brother the crown prince. After that, I shall journey to the central ins and seek my own path."


    " Why not the Myriad Star Ocean or the Ring of the Thousand Inds?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " Why should I?" Jiang Wanxue rolled her eyes. " I want to stay away from the Qin Family''s affairs, not to be entangled in it."


    As they entered the room, Long Ming pulled out his Heavenly Urn of Frozen mes.


    " Wine?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " I shall have some tea." Jiang Wanxue was going to call a maid, but she was stopped by Long Ming.


    " Say no more. I have something for you." Long Ming chuckled as he produced a small wooden box.


    When he opened that, a faint yet calming aroma drifted out from it.


    " These are¡­tea leaves?" Jiang Wanxue was stunned. " What kind of tea leaves are they?"


    " Not fake."


    " ¡­ "


    Jiang Wanxue clenched her fist as she red at Long Ming. " Can you stop reminding me about that incident for once?"


    " Hehe, Alright." Long Ming chuckled. " This is Purple Sunlight Spirit Tea leaves. It''s more than ten millennia old."


    " Then, let me prepare some tea for my fiance?" Long Ming chuckled as he brought the cups and teapot.


    " Bah¡­We aren''t engaged yet."


    Jiang Wanxue blushed as she scowled at Long Ming.


    " Anyway, We have to be careful in the Sky Fountain Pce. Because, opening our ancestral vault shall determine who is going to be the Crown Prince." Jiang Wanxue spoke in a serious tone.


    " Why? What are you hiding there?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.


    " Before answering that, Let me tell you the history of the Qin Family." Jiang Wanxue sighed.

 Chapter 296 History of Qin Family

    Chapter 296 History of Qin Family


    The Qin Family used to be the ruler of the Radiant Star Ind. However, during the previous era, A Heavenly Emperor rose from the Dongting Mountain, who used to be an enemy of the Qin Family.


    It was a powerful fight, between Qin Family''s Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivators.


    The result was rather devastating. However, using the entire force of Radiant Star Ind, They finally managed to make amends with the Heavenly Emperor Dong Yuan.


    But the losses of the Radiant Star Ind was heavy. The Nine Pearl Gates, another power of the Radiant Star Ind used the opportunity to grasp the entire Radiant Star Ind.


    Qin Family was divided into two parts. A small minority, who are the side branch of the Qin Family betrayed the main branch and colluded with the Nine Pearl Gates.


    The patriarch of that time understood the graveness of the situation earlier and gathered all his trusted men. Taking the scared emblem and other treasures, they fled from the Radiant Star Ind and crossed the Myriad Star Sea.


    " Originally, Our destination was the Central Province." Jiang Wanxue sighed. " But at that time, the war between the righteous faction and demonic faction was undergoing in the Eastern Province."


    " Using the chance and our remnant forces, the first ancestor took charge of the battle and started to capture the parts of the Eastern Province of Rain Dragon Continent."


    " Realizing it''s better to settle on the Eastern Continent, our patriarch made his younger brother the first Emperor of the Holy Qilin Empire and went to seclusion."


    " After that, The first emperor took charge of the empire and started to expand his territory. Meanwhile, the patriarch became the first ancestor and remained in the shadows."


    " When time passed and the ancestor realized he couldn''t advance his cultivation, he took many important items and the scared seal to the Sky Fountain Pce."


    " Using his life force and knowledge, he created his own tomb and sealed himself in."


    " So thousands of years passed yet none of you managed to open that tomb?" Long Ming asked in a surprised tone."


    " It was highly secretive as our ancestors didn''t want the sacred seal to fall into the enemy''s hand." Jiang Wanxue shrugged.


    " Not to mention, As a Grand Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator with a powerful background, he employed rather devious methods."


    " Only when the right person at the right time with the right key arrives there, the main vault shall open."


    " Ugh, It sounds soplicated." Long Ming murmured. " So, I guess other than our Imperial Family, some other also knows about the secret vault?"


    " Yes, and I am afraid they areing this time. After all, The opening of Sky Fountain Pce is a rather big event."


    Sipping the tea, Jiang Wanxue felt his soul slowly entering a state of calmness. The true qi and spiritual qi surged in her body as she started to show signs of a breakthrough.


    " Truly a marvelous tea. I believe with this, I might go through to the next stage in a day or two."


    " Aww, I should do at least that for my future finances, eh?"


    " Who is your fiance?" Jiang Wanxue snorted as her cheek turned red.


    " Besides, Aren''t you afraid?" She decided to throw a jab at Long Ming.


    " Not afraid of Mu Qinglian, Are you?"


    " Uhh¡­"


    Long Ming wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words.


    '' Crap, She is right though? Qinglian must be waiting for me.'' His expression turned odd, making Jiang Wanxue amused.


    " What? Cat got your tongue?"


    Long Ming smirked as he looked at Jiang Wanxue. " Guess your cat did. And I liked the vor."


    " My cat? I don''t have any cat-"


    Jiang Wanxue paused as her face turned red like an apple, with steaming from her head.


    " Long Ming¡­You wretched bastard¡­" She spoke in a suppressed anger.


    " You believe I can simply throw you in the imperial prison right now?"


    " Aww? I thought you were the youngdy of the Jiang Family, not Qin Wanxue, the princess of the Holy Qilin Empire?"


    " How you are going to mobilize the imperial guards, huh?"


    " Why not?" Jiang Wanxue bared her teeth yfully. " To crush you, I would wear my princess crown, even for a day. It will be worth it if you get thrown into jail."


    " Tsk, What a vicious woman." Long Ming clicked his tongue. " Already nning to throw your future husband to jail, huh?"


    " Hmph, Don''t act too cocky, Long Ming." Jiang Wanxue snorted lightly. " I won''t let you force me on bed anymore."


    " Bet?"


    " Wait! Halt!Stay there! "


    Jiang Wanxue was like an angry kitten as she jumped on her feet when she saw Long Ming getting up.


    " I am¡­I am still sore fromst night''s affair, ok?" Jiang Wanxue hurriedly spoke. " Just spare me for today, you sex fiend!"


    But Long Ming already standing near her. Sweeping her into his arm, he nted a deep kiss on Jiang Wanxue''s soft lips.


    Struggling a bit, Jiang Wanxue let it go, epting Long Ming''s kiss without any resistance. Their tongue interwind as Long Ming could taste the remaining taste of the fragrant tea.


    " Of course, Despite how lecherous I am, I won''t treat you like a doll for my pleasure." Long Ming was amused as their lips parted.


    " I give you some more spirit tea. Use it and breakthrough, alright?"


    Jiang Wanxue pouted as she felt Long Ming rubbing her lips with his thumb affectionately, making her heart thump.


    '' Hmph, What a pervert. He certainly has a lot of tricks in his sleeves. No wonder he got so many women around him.''


    " Ugh, Let me go, pervert." Jiang Wanxue gently pushed Long Ming aside.


    " Now, I need to cultivate. So, you should leave."


    " As you wish, Princess."


    " Ahhh! I forbid you to call me princess!"


    " Ahahaha!"


    Even after Long Ming left, Jiang Wanxue''s mind remained in turmoil. Especially thinking about Qin Shuang''s proposal, her stomach fluttered with butterflies.


    '' If I and Long Ming had a child¡­En, he might really awaken the Ancient True Qilin Bloodline.''


    '' AHHH! Wanxue! What are you thinking? You really want to bear his child that much?''


    '' I mean, although we did¡­the deed quite a lot¡­I am not prepared yet, am I?''


    '' Ugh, Why am I thinking such useless things? Let me focus on my cultivation.''


    Meanwhile, spending a day in the capital, Long Ming found the grand abode of Four Seasons Valley in the city and boarded the treasure boat.


    '' Hehe, Master is sure fast, eh? She already started to reim all the properties the sect had years ago. Not bad.''


    And a dayter, Long Ming finally returned to the Four Seasons Valley.


    The news of his arrival was already spread as all the original disciples gathered near the entrance.


    " Kyahhh! Senior Brother! Senior Brother is finally returning!"


    " Am I looking presentable? Senior Brother is finally returning!"


    " Bah! Why would he look at you?"


    " One can always dream, yes?"


    When the treasure boatnded, the female disciples of Four Seasons Valley swarmed around it.


    But to their surprise, Long Ming wasn''t inside.


    " EHHH? Where is he?"


    .


    . n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    .


    Meanwhile¡­


    " Master, can I get up?"


    " No."


    Long Ming sighed as he remained kneeling before Xia Yuqing, Meng Zhi, and Mu Qinglian.


    " You don''t have permission."

 Chapter 297 I want To Have His Child

    Chapter 297 I want To Have His Child


    " You are so reckless, Long Ming!"


    " You think you can just breach into an Imperial Powerhouse like that! What would have happened if you had got caught?"


    " Ow! Oww! Ladies, please give me a breather." Long Ming knelt before them as he shouted loudly.


    " I can exin everything, alright? Just give me a chance."


    " Hmph, What''s there to exin?" Mu Qinglian snorted. " You almost got yourself killed."


    " Well, I survived in the end, didn''t I?" Long Ming grinned. " Now I am before you, without a single scratch."


    Xia Yuqing snorted as she took her seat.


    " Fine, Tell me what happened at the Sky Martial Tower? I am really curious how you managed to cause such an upheaval."


    " Hehe, Nothing really. Let me tell you what I did after arriving there." Long Ming chuckled as he sat cross legged on the ground.


    " It was a long and arduous journey, all the way to the Sky Martial Tower."


    Long Ming started his story as he pulled out his Plum Blossoms Fan. Fanning himself gently, he started his narration. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " Ara¡­Little Brother, If it was another time, I would have served you wine and peanuts and listened to your story." Meng Zhi''s brows twitched as she maintained a smile.


    " However. Right now, I don''t have much patience."


    " Indeed, Stop with that heroic tale of yours. Tell us in brief." Mu Qinglian quipped in.


    " Haah, People focus on more presentation, But you guys are so boring." Long Ming sighed as he got up.


    " Fine, If you want me to be brief, here we go."


    *SWISSH!*


    Long Ming waved his hand as he activated his spatial bracelet.


    Suddenly, the entire room rumbled as a sea of items appeared before them, making arge pile.


    " Wh-What the hell are these?"


    " Earth grade, Noble grade, Royal grade weapons and techniques."


    " Items from ancient demonic beasts, herbs older than fifty thousand years, such rare forging materials¡­"


    Xia Yuqing''s heart trembled as she stood up from the sheer shock. Everyone looked at Long Ming with a ghastly shocked expression.


    " These¡­These all treasures¡­"


    " Don''t tell me¡­" Mu Qinglian murmured.


    " You robbed the treasure house of the entire Sky Martial Tower?" Xia Yuqing asked with a deep breath.


    " Bingo." Long Ming snapped his fingers as he smirked. " What? Impressive, right?"


    " You¡­You are the one who robbed all the treasures? So, the bastards who fled from Sky Martial Tower didn''t take anything with them?"


    Meng Zhi''s expression was purely shocked as she looked at Long Ming.


    " You are right, Big Sister Meng." Long Ming winked at her. " I stole all the treasures of Sky Martial Tower."


    " Well, As you know, I took the seal of the dead Sect Master of Sky Martial Tower. But I was lucky as the seal still worked properly."


    " With the authority of the Sect Master, I managed to sneak into their treasure trove and robbed everything."


    " Tha-That''s just¡­ Fascinating." Xia Yuqing murmured. " So, That''s how you also breached the Sect Protection Formation?"


    " Yes, Master."


    " Haah¡­"


    Xia Yuqing took a deep breath as she nodded. " Alright, I am letting you off this time. But don''t do such dangerous things without notifying us first."


    " As you say, Master." Long Ming smiled.


    " Ahahaah! What a good little brother you are." Meng Zhi stepped forward and hugged Long Miong rightly, pressing her breasts on his face.


    " With all these resources, our sect will be the number one sect in the entire Eastern Province."


    " Elder Meng, Can''t you show some decency before Master?" Mu Qinglian clenched her fist as she spoke in a suppressed voice.


    " Ara¡­Qingqing, Are you feeling jealous?" Meng Zhi chuckled. Her tongue flicked out, licking her lips seductively as if she was reminiscing something.


    " Don''t worry, After having a dual cultivation session with Little Long, I will send him to you perfect and fine."


    " Yo-You!!"


    " Alright! Everyone, calm down."


    Long Ming backed away as he took a few deep breaths. " First of all, we need to retrieve the Four Seasons Valley techniques, which were snatched by the Sky Martial Tower."


    " This includes the part of Returning Spring Sword Art." Long Ming exined.


    " You are right, Restoring the sect''s treasures is the main priority.." Xia Yuqing nodded.


    " But, There is something more." Long Ming looked a Xia Yuqing. " Master, Do you know anything about the vault of the progenitor in Sky Fountain Pce?"


    " Vault of Progenitor?" Meng Zhi was surprised.


    " You mean the inheritance of Four Seasons Heavenly Emperor?" Mu Qinglian spoke in a voice filled with awe.


    " Well, That''s actually a myth¡­" Xia Yuqing murmured. " Although the progenitor passed most of his treasures to his disciples, he kept some with himself."


    " And after his death, no one knew where those went. Some say he left an inheritance in the Sky Pce Ruins. But our disciples searched for years and found nothing."


    " Well, It was good that we managed to take down Sky Martial Tower this time." Long Ming chortled.


    " Otherwise, they almost got the key to unlocking the treasury,"


    " What?"


    Everyone was rmed when they heard Long Ming''s words. " So, You mean, the Four Seasons Grand Swordsy has the key to unlock the treasury? And the Spring branch technique shows the path?"


    " Fuck! I never thought that! I can''t even imagine what would have happened if they had opened the vault." Mu Qinglian bit her lips.


    " Well, But it''s not a problem anymore, yes?" Long Ming shrugged. " Now, Our sect can enjoy all these treasures and increase our strength easily."


    " We can also increase the power of our disciples so they could fare better in the Sky Fountain Pce."


    " Hehe, Don''t mind if I pick an Imperial grade technique." Meng Zhi grinned as she started to scramble through the mountain of treasure.


    " What? Wait for me!" Mu Qinglian became surprised as she also dug in.


    " We should start making some adjustments. Perhaps increasing the tasks on the mission board will help the disciples." Xia Yuqing spoke.


    " Indeed, In this way, We can hand better pills and weapons to our disciples. And maybe we should even host a sectpetition." Long Ming nodded.


    But then, a letter appeared before Xia Yuqing as she picked it up. Curiously, she opened it and gave a nce.


    " Wh-What the¡­"


    " What happened, Sect Master?" Meng Zhi paused as she looked at Xia Yuqing. " You look rather serious, Master." Mu Qinglian also nodded. " What''s in that letter."


    " It''s from the Imperial Family." Xia Yuqing spoke in a strange tone.


    " And? What do they want?" Meng Zhi trailed off. " Hmm, I don''t think they know about treasures¡­"


    " They want to marry Long Ming with Princess Qin Wanxue."


    Mu Qinglian and Meng Zhi''s faces froze instantly.


    " WHAT?!"


    The next moment, Long Ming was kneeling before those three women once again.


    " Damn it, Long Ming! So you and Jiang Wanxue really have a thing between you guys!" Mu Qinglian snorted.


    Long Ming whimpered as he could see Mu Qinglian''s annoyance. " Senior Sister, I swear I didn''t know anything about this. It was the Holy Qilin Emperor."


    " Oh? Why did he do that though?" Xia Yuqing asked in suspicion.


    " Uhm so¡­My bloodline and Jiang Wanxue''s bloodline arepatible. So¡­he wants us to have a child."


    " Chi-Child?"


    Mu Qinglian felt her brain freezing for a moment before her entire face turned red.


    " Qingqing! Are you alright?" Meng Zhi looked at her yfully.


    " I also want it¡­"


    " Huh?"


    " I SAID I ALSO WANT TO HAVE A CHILD WITH HIM!"


    Long Ming''s face hardened more than immortal iron.

 Chapter 298 Sect Assessment Tournament

    Chapter 298 Sect Assessment Tournament


    Two weeks swiftly passed since Long Ming returned to the Four Seasons Valley. After that day, Mu Qinglian entered in closed door cultivation. Despite Long Ming''s efforts tomunicate, she didn''t respond to anything. Not to mention, After what she blurted out in front of Long Ming, Xia Yuqing, and Meng Zhi, she felt like she should dig a hole and bury herself in it.


    The news of Jiang Wanxue and Long Ming also spread across like wildfire. And the entire Four Seasons Valley bubbled because of it.


    " What? Senior Brother going to marry the princess of Holy Qilin Empire?"


    " What a wench! How dare she try to seduce our senior brother?" N?v(el)B\\jnn


    " I feel only Saintess Mu is eligible for senior brother."


    " Hey, I am rooting for Senior Sister Ming though?"


    " Haah, How I wish I could alsopete with them to get a senior brother."


    " Sister, Aren''t you dreaming a bit too big?"


    " One can always dream, no?"


    Long Ming sat on his usual spot at the Solitary Flower Peak. Sitting on a stone chair, Xiao''er was massaging her back gently. " Young Master, Are you really going to marry Princess Qin Wanxue?"


    " Why? Are you jealous, Xiao''er?" Long Ming became amused as he looked back at Xiao''er.


    " Well, I can''t say about myself. But quite a lot of women would get upset, Young Master." Xiao''er pursed her lips as she answered.


    " Tsk tsk, Your mouth has gotten sharper, isn''t it?" Long Ming chuckled. " I guess I need to polish your mouth''s sharpness."


    " Gosh! Young Master, We are in broad daylight." Xiao''er couldn''t help but blush when she heard Long Ming''s crude remark. But she still leaned forward, gently whispering in his ear.


    " But, If Young Master wants, who am I to deny?"


    " Oh Xiao''er¡­"


    As they were about to get a little heated, Long Ming sensed someone''s presence.


    " Hmm? Chu Li, What are you doing here?"


    " Senior Brother, You are really enjoying here, huh?" Chu Li couldn''t help but snort lightly as shended before Long Ming.


    " What am I supposed to do?" Long Ming nced at her. Chu Li was surprised when she saw Long Ming''s nonchnt attitude.


    " Perhaps you have forgotten that today''s Sect Assessment Tournament?"


    " Wait, Really?" Long Ming hurriedly got up as he looked at Chu Li. " Damn, I really forgot about the flow of time."


    " What about Senior Sister? Is sheing?"


    " Why would she?" Chu Li blinked. " Didn''t Sect Master Xia handed you all the duties."


    " What??"


    Long Ming''s face turned ugly when he heard that. He realized that Mu Qinglian tricked him by staying in closed door cultivation. And Xia Yuqing was giving her the duty of the tournament as punishment.


    " Ugh, Can I not spend a month in leisure? Why everyone dumping work on me?" Long Ming couldn''t help but grumble. " Young Master, You already enjoyed quite a lot in these two weeks though¡­" Xiao''er couldn''t help but murmur. Long Ming threw a nce at her.


    " Whose maid are you, Xiao''er? Do you want to change masters?"


    " Ahaha, Young Master, I was just joking." Xiao''er bit her lips as she hurriedly denied. " Young Master, You should hurry up else y ou might bete."


    " Hmph, I shall remember it." Long Ming let out a yful huff as he looked at Chu Li.


    " Let''s go. Let me see how our disciples grew after training in the Azure Sun Secret Realm."


    Turning into a burst of plum blossoms, Long Ming disappeared from his position.


    .


    .


    .


    .


    The arena bubbled with excitement disciples from both outer and inner sects came to participate. When Long Ming arrived, he saw Xia Yuqing and some of the high ranking elders weren''t present.


    But that was given as they were currently enjoying the resources granted by Long Ming. After all, it''s sweeter to feast on enemies'' resources and increase one''s strength.


    '' Since I brought back many lost techniques, the elders benefited from it immensely. They are using to to patch up the ws they have in their cultivation foundation.''


    '' Besides, I feel it would be best if we prepared before the opening of Sky Fountain Pce.''


    Looking down at the arena, Long Ming could see it was divided into various parts. Not long after, Lin Xie and Chen Yin flew towards him.


    " Senior Brother, You are here!"


    " En, How is the preparation going?" Long Ming looked at them and asked.


    " Well, As you have prepared, we have prepared the assessment into various phases." Chen Yin exined.


    " Today, We are going to have a supplementary path tournament. It includes apetition in Pill Refining, cksmithing, Rune Inscription and Tailoring."


    " The performance in thesepetitions shall determine the ranking of the disciples in their specific halls. And with that, they will enjoy sect credits and resources."


    " Hehe, I wonder how the Crafting Hall is doing." Long Ming couldn''t help but smack his lips.


    " Anyway, the Pill Refining Tournament is first, right? Let''s go there." Lin Xie looked at Long Ming. " Are you ready, Senior Brother?"


    " What do you mean by ready?" Long Ming was confused. " You are the main judge there after all." Chen Yin added, making Long Ming speechless.


    " Really? I have to handle all three tournaments?" Long Ming looked at the sky and sighed.


    " Well, After all, Who in our sect is proficient in all four supplementary arts?" Chen Yin couldn''t help but grin.


    " That feels really tiresome." Long Ming couldn''t help butin. " Then that''s good, Senior Brother." Chen Yin gave a conspiratoral grin. " After you get all tired, we sisters will definitely give you a rxing massage."


    " Chen Yin is right. It''s been a while since we had some dao discussion, Senior Brother."


    Long Ming felt goosebumps as he looked a step back, looking at the fiery gaze of Lin Xie and Chen Yin.


    " Ahem, Sister, We should focus on thepetition first." Turning around, Long Ming went to the pill refining tournament. Looking around, he nodded with approval.


    " All the participants, may I have your attention?"


    The arena became silent as everyone gazed at Long Ming.


    " Kyaahh! Senior Brother Long is here."


    " Senior Brother is so handsome!!"


    " Senior Brother, Please look at me!"


    " Ahem, Everyone, Please calm down." Long Ming coughed as he gently waved his plum blossom fan.


    " I shall keep everything short and simple. The Supplementary Path Tournament is a chance given to you by the Four Seasons Valley."


    " Using this chance, you can secure ranking in your respective lists. The higher your ranking, the better the reward."


    " The pill refining tournament shall happen in two phases. Theory and practical." Waving his hands, Long Ming pulled out his treasured jade brush. A liquid pink appeared on the brush as Long Ming use it to write on the air. The words streaked across the sky, creating a giant question sheet.


    " There are a hundred and ten questions here. The first hundred questions, each question shall reward you with five credit points."


    " As for thest ten questions, each question shall reward you with fifty credit points."


    " After four hours, you all shall deposit the answers. You shall receive credits ording to your answer. And you can use the credit to exchange resources from the Treasure Pavilion."


    " The practicals shall be held after the theory stage."


    Long Ming''s words were in and simple, making everyone understand them easily.


    And he did the same with the other three assessments of cksmithing, rune inscription, and tailoring art. Each would have a theory and practical round.


    It was a good way to distribute credit points among the disciples so they could use it to exchange resources from the sect and boost their strength.


    After all, there were far too many low level treasures in the sect warehouse and they needed to be cleaned.


    " Well, You are worrying too much, Brother Long."


    Luo Yingying chuckled at Long Ming. " Don''t worry, I shall take care of the rune inscription assessment."


    " Haah, You are a real saver, Sister Yingying." Long Ming couldn''t help but smile.


    " But you have to discuss the dao of rune with me afterward."


    "..."


    Long Ming looked at the sky and sighed." I guess there is no escape."


    The four parts of the arena with four different types ofpetitions, with hundreds of disciplespeting for rankings.


    '' As long as our power grows, the Four Seasons Valley will be able to dominate the entire Eastern Province like a true imperial sect, just like thousands of years ago.''

 Chapter 299 Greatest Sect System

    Chapter 299 Greatest Sect System


    *BOOM! BOOM!"


    " Ahh! My cauldron exploded!"


    " Ugh, Just a bit more! Just a bit more!"


    " Ahh, I want to give up!"


    A girl patted herpetitor''s shoulders. " You should strive hard, Sister."


    " Don''t you know, If you get a higher ranking, Senior Brother would teach you personally?"


    " What? Are you telling the truth?"


    The girl was stunned as she looked at the other girl.


    " I mean, Think about it." The first disciple shrugged.


    " Senior Brother is well versed in various sorts of arts. If your name is higher in ranking, isn''t it natural for y ou to approach him for some pointers?"


    " In that way, Won''t you spend more time with him?"


    " My goodness! Sister, Your ns are really amazing!"


    " Ahem! This is a secret n. Don''y tell anyone, alright?"


    The girl''s eyes suddenly burst with fire as she looked at her medicinal cauldron.


    " This time, I will refine a perfect rank two pill!"


    Simr things happened throughout the assessment test of other branches. zing mes, the fragrance of medicinal herbs, the nking sound of metals, the scribbling sound of brush and paper, and the rustles of clothing materials echoed throughout the arena.


    Long Ming flitted across the arena, giving small tips to anyone he saw.


    " Junior Sister, Please lower your mes a bit and refine to Steel Scale Grass first."


    " Beautiful Sister, you must not mix the Shining ck Sand and Yellow Copper Ore at the same time. It will make your treasure fracture."


    " Are you making the Nine Chain Lightning Rune? You need to use the seven star sealing rune chain in the middle before adding the golden lightning runes around it."


    The participants were amazed when they saw Long Ming roaming across the entire arena to help disciples take different types of assessments.


    Such a quick judgment across different types of professions, they couldn''t help but admire Long Ming for his ability.


    As the day ended, Long Ming looked at the result with a surprised expression.


    " There are more than five individuals who managed to refine rank three medicinal pills. Not to mention, the grade of the pills were mid grade to high grade pills."


    " The forging department needs some lessons. They could only make Spirit grade weapons. Only one managed to make a Xuan grade weapon and that''s¡­"


    Chen Yin showed the weapon to Long Ming with her assessment. Long Ming couldn''t help but be amused.


    " Sister Chen, You don''t need to be so harsh. Our sect''s cksmithing heritage isn''t much high."


    " For example, Six Sword Pavilion forges some ofthe best swords in the entire Eastern and Southern Province."


    " It''s alright. We can cultivate our disciples better."


    " As for the talismans, I managed to find a few talents." Luo Yingying jumped forward as she produced a list.


    " Although they aren''t a heavenly genius like me, they could be considered as good saplings."


    " But the real talent¡­"


    Long Ming was surprised when he saw the assessment in the Treasured Clothing assessment. " Chu Li?"


    " Indeed, She managed to create two Xuan grade and a Earth grade treasure cloth in this assessment."


    " The design, the material, everything is perfect."


    Lin Xie couldn''t help but click her tongue. " Tsk, You taught her well after you took her under your tutge, Senior Brother."


    " Why don''t you take us under you too?"


    " I¡­"


    Long Ming turned speechless as he looked at thedies surrounding him.


    " Alright, Don''t overwhelm me right now. An entire day has passed and I have be really tired."


    " Then shall I apany Senior Brother for massage?"


    " Senior Brother, I can relieve your fatigue."


    " Aiyaa! Senior Brother, You promised me to apany you to study rune diagrams!"


    Chen Yin, Lin Xie, and Luo Yingying, everyone surrounded Long Ming. After all, no one was willing to back down.


    " You all are getting too much clingy." Shui Huan couldn''t help but mutter from the side.


    " Anyway, Senior Brother¡­Shouldn''t you give me some of your attention too?"


    Suddenly, Shui Huan felt everyone''s gaze on her. She clenched her fist and shouted.


    " Wh-What? You all have been with Senior Brother! But¡­I only did ONCE! ONLY ONCE!"


    " Ah, Sister Shui¡­ You are¡­right."


    " Hmhm, It''s kinda pitiful though."


    [ Ding! Constetion Harem King of Nine World is snickering at the situation. He said You can''t be overwhelmed by only this many women]


    [ Ding! Constetion Plot Progression Lover is yawning. He is asking to forward the storyline]


    [ Ding! Constetion Humble Amodation is asking everyone to have some patience]


    Long Ming couldn''t help but roll his eyes when he saw the series of messages before him.


    '' What a bunch of carefree bastards.''


    Long Ming couldn''t help but snort. " Alright, Prepare the Fragrant Medicine List, Golden Treasure List, Runic Sky List, Silkwind List, and release it in the evening."


    " What about the Four Seasons Martial List? Aren''t you going to supervise tomorrow''s martial tournament?" Lin Xie looked at Long Ming and asked.


    " Don''t worry, I won''t need to." Long Ming gave a smirk as he turned around.


    '' Time to let those elders work a bit. No way I am toiling tomorrow.''


    But as he was about to return, a jade slip flew towards him.


    '' Mm? Ming Yuexin?''


    When Long Ming arrived at the Scorching Summer Peak, the female disciples there were amazed to see him.


    " My goodness! Is that Senior Brother?"


    " What is he doing in Scorching Summer Peak?"


    " Wait, He is going to the top¡­"


    " Hehe, Don''t you know?" A female disciple chuckled. " He is probably going to meet Elder Sister Ming."


    " Oh my, So you are saying there is something happening between them?"


    " Duh, I thought you knew about it?"


    When Long Ming arrived in Ming Yuexin''s courtyard, he saw her standing outside. Rather than wearing an elegant dress with feminine charm, she tired her long hair and wore a coarse training robe, tightly fitting her body.


    Despite her simple and crude attire, she appeared as a hard-working fairy, training her sword techniques to the brim.


    She paused as she turned around with a smile.


    " I thought you were busy in the Sect Assessment Tournament. How did the supplementary path assessment go?"


    Long Mingnded on the ground as he chuckled. " It was better than I expected. Soon enough, Our sect would be an independent and leading powerhouse in the entire region."


    Ming Yuexin suddenly blushed as Long Ming appeared right beside her. Raising his hand, He gently wiped off the sweat from her face.


    " So, Why did you called me here, Sister Ming?"


    " To spar with me." Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming. " I am at the cusp of breaking through to the Sword Heart realm."


    " However, the barrier¡­ It''s strange. It''s very thin, yet¡­I can''t seem to pierce it."


    Creating a distance, Ming Yuexin performed three types of sword techniques.


    First was the simplest form of sword art, yurt each of her attacks were swift and decisive. The second form was different from the first. mes zed around her sword as Ming Yuexin''s sword technique took a fiery approach. The sword intent red with me intent as they shot out like dragons.


    In the third stance, Several swords appeared around Ming Yuexin, each glowing with radiant light. As her sword moved, so did the light sword, turning into a storm of swords.


    Long Ming''s Heavenly Eyes shed as he understood the pattern of Ming Yuexin''s three types of sword technique.


    " Hmm, You have three paths opened for you. First, a perfect sword path. But I believe it will restrict you quite a lot, Sister Ming." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    " Second ispletely mastering the Scorching Summer Sword Technique. To follow this path and get Scorching Sword Heart, you need to cultivate both the reach of Sword Heart and me Heart realm."


    " As for the third, You want to cultivate the path of Bright Emperor''s Supreme Sword Art, cultivating the sword intent and Light intent. In that way, you will be able to cultivate the Radiant Sword Heart."


    Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming and nodded with a smile. " As expected from you, Senior Brother. You saw my problem in a single nce."


    As Long Ming fell into deep thought, a blue screen shed before his eyes.


    [ Some Constetions have paid for the causality]


    [ The Infinite Star Roulette has begun to spin. Choosing a random system for Host]


    " Huh? Right now?"


    Long Ming was surprised when he saw that. As the roulette began to spin, Long Ming saw colorful lights shing before him.


    [ Ding! Congrattions Host! You have received the Greatest Sect System]

 Chapter 300 Path of Radiant Sword Heart

    Chapter 300 Path of Radiant Sword Heart


    Long Ming was stunned when he saw the arrival of the new system.


    '' Greatest Sect System? Finally, I got one of the cliche systems.''


    [ Initiating Greatest Sect System! Binding with Host!]


    [ Binding sessful!]


    A bright yellow panel appeared before Long Ming, along with fireworks.


    [ Wee Host, For achieving the Greatest Sect System!]


    [ Ding! Wee to the Greatest Sect System!]


    [ Are you azy sect master of a rundown sect? Have your sect declined so much that even birds are not shitting on it?]


    [ No medicinal garden? No treasure house? Disciples leaving the sect in bulks? Worry not!]


    [ With our help, You would be able to rebuild your sect,pete with the merciless world and make a name for yourself and your sect!]


    '' Well, The introduction is good. I wonder how effective it is.'' Long Ming chuckled inwardly.


    [ Ding! It''s detected that Host has significant power over the sect! Analyzing the sect!]


    [....]


    The status window suddenly paused as it showed the spinning wheel of loading.


    '' Uh? Is the cosmicwork slow today? Why is it taking so much time?'' Long Ming was speechless.


    " What happened, Brother Long?" Ming Yuexin saw Long Ming suddenly bing absent minded.


    " Ah, It''s fine, Sister Ming." Long Ming smiled. " I was just contemting something. After all, we need to find the most suitable path for you."


    " Mhm, You should take your time, Brother Long." Ming Yuexin nodded. " I shall take some rest."


    The gap between the realm of Intent and the realm of Heart is veryrge. Generally, cultivators at the peak of the Harmonization Realm can sense the Heart of their desired path. And after reaching the Nine Transformations of the Soul Realm, they can finally cultivate the Heart of the path they have taken, giving them limitless power under the heaven and earth.


    However, due to the talent of Ming Yuexin, she alreadyprehended the me Intent and Sword Intent even before reaching the Harmonization Realm.


    But toprehend the Heart of a path, she needed time, opportunity, and guidance. And for it required extreme patience.


    Long Ming huffed as he saw the loading screen finally closed. '' Finally, I thought I was going to be dizzy after seeing it spin.''


    '' Even in another world, I can''t escape the slow inte speed.''


    [ Ding! Detected currently no abnormality in sect!]


    [Poverty Check: Negative]


    [ Lazy and corrupt elders: Negative]


    [ Low number of disciples: Negative]


    [ Lack of jade beauties: Extreme negative]


    [ Ding: Constetion Lazy Genius Sect Master is giving a wry smile. He is saying there is no point to this system]


    '' What? You can''t outright take away a system after binding with me.'' Long Mingined inwardly. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    [ Many constetions are shrugging. They wanted Host to perform with the current system]


    [ Ding! Constetion Lazy Genius Sect Master is warning Host. Some of the rewards might be less worthy for the current Host]


    [ He is proposing a deal. He is asking Host to unbind the system for 200 Star Coins]


    '' Huh? 200 Star Coins?''


    Long Ming mumbled as he recalled some good stuff in the Infinite Store. However, he still shook his head after contemting.


    '' Hmm, These types of system focuses on overall growth of the powerhouse instead of individual. And currently, I believe I need it for the Four Seasons Valley.''


    [ Ding! Constetion Lazy Genius Sect Master has increased price to 300 Star Coins]


    " Still nope." Long Ming shook his head. [ Ding! Constetion Lazy Genius Sect Master has increased price to 500 Star Coins! He is urging Host to reconsider]


    Long Ming was stunned before his lips curled. " Well, I was thinking of unbinding first. But now, I won''t unbind the system even if you gave me 1000 Star Coins."


    [ Constetion Harem King of Nine World is pleased with Host''s resolve]


    [ Constetion Great Crow of Dark Mysteries is nodding with approval]


    Looking at the screen, it finally loaded.


    [ Ding! Activating system! Giving Host the novice gift package!]


    Rubbing his palm, Long Ming opened the novice gift package. After all, the novice package got best of the best gifts and treasures.


    [ Ding! Host received a formation book: Compendium of Great Array Formations]


    [ Ding! Host received a Blessed Imperial Treasure: Azure Fish Hook Sword]


    [ Ding! Host received a Random Treasure Card]


    Long Ming looked through the treasures quickly. '' Not bad, these treasures would be very helpful for me. Especially a Blessed Imperial Weapon is a great start."


    '' The formation book depicts a free formation. But as long as they are employed, even Ancient Lord Realm cultivators would be held back by them.''


    '' I need to discuss with Sect Master to employ them.''


    [ Ding! First quest has arrived! Adjusting the quest correspondence to Host]


    [ Make Ming Yuexinprehend the Heart of a path within a single day]


    Long Ming raised his brows as he looked at the quest. Making someoneprehend the Heart of a path in a single day?


    If people outside hear it, they will pass from shock. After all, What''s Heart of a path?


    Toprehend it, cultivators spend hundreds of years in seclusion. A slight mistake, and it would create a giant crack in their foundation.


    A weak Heart also implies the limit of their path. If the Heart is weak, how can one move forward in their path and attain the Dao?


    Long Ming looked at the Random Treasure Card and decided to use it.


    [ Ding! Host has given three options! Host can choose one of three treasures as a starting gift]


    [ Orb of Destruction: An one time use item with the power of a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm cultivator]


    [ Illuminous Embryo: An embryo of heavenly radiance which contains the energy of radiance. Refining it will allow the user toprehen the Grand Dao of Light and cultivate a Light attribute Heavenly Physique]


    [ Treasure Binding Stone: A mysterious treasure that allows user to wield treasures beyond his cultivation level]


    Long Ming was intrigued as he looked at the list of the treasures. '' If it was someone else, the first andst options were rtively better and quick to implement.''


    '' But lucky me, I got what I wanted easily.''


    Without any hesitation, Long Ming chose the Illuminous Embryo. Turning around, he looked at Ming Yuexin.


    " Sister Ming, I have already told you the three possible paths you can take. The first one would be easier for you while thest one is definitely hard." Long Ming spoke in a serious voice.


    " But the harder the path, the more powerful you shall be. And I will help you regardless of which option you choose."


    Ming Yunxin''s smile bloomed as she looked at Long Ming. " Brother Long, You are the one who pulled me out from despair and made me walk in the path of cultivation once again."


    " Whatever you do, I trust youpletely."


    Long Ming nodded as he took out the Illuminious Embryo. " Sister Ming, you need toprehend the Light Intent and the me Intent, and merge them with your Sword Intent."


    " This is Illuminious Embryo. If you take this, you will be able toprehend the Light Intent with ease."


    " This¡­This is a natural treasure of Heaven and Earth?" Ming Yuexin was stunned. " Brother Long, I can''t ept this! This¡­This is too precious!"


    " Nothing is more precious than your growth, Sister Ming." Long Ming smiled. " Yourprehension of Light intent is very weak. However, using this treasure as a catalyst, you can cultivate the most powerful Heart you want to."


    " Now, sit down and refine it. I shall support you."


    Ming Yuexin nodded as she sat cross legged. Long Ming sat behind her as he ced his palms on her back.


    " Let''s begin."
