When Qi Ming returned to the servant’s courtyard, Ye Dun and the others surrounded him with curiosity. Zhu Xiaoxian and the others were even more fawning.
“Why are all of you asking around for no reason?”
Qi Ming said unhappily, “Have you all finished my servant mission? Go busy yourselves.”
“Yes, Boss.” Zhu Xiaoxian shouted.
“Yes.”
“We’ll help Boss complete the servant mission now.”
Zhang Qing, Hu Gang, and He Ping quickly said.
“Is everything alright?” Ye Dun asked worriedly..
“I’m fine.” Qi Ming waved his hand. “As for you, Ye Dun, what level are you at now?”
“I just broke through to the early-stage of the second level Qi Refinement realm last month.”
Ye Dun smiled bitterly. “I definitely won’t be able to pass this Outer Sect Assessment. However, my family has already informed me beforehand that if I fail, I’ll have to return to inherit my family’s business.”
“I didn’t expect you to be the son of a rich businessman.”
Qi Ming was surprised.
“What’s the use?” Ye Dun shook his head. “Even if I’m the son of a rich businessman, that’s only in the mortal world. How can I compare to the Green Cloud Peak? I’m really nothing.”
“Moreover…”
“Even the relatives of the Emperor in the mortal world might not have a higher status than a servant disciple when they come to the Green Cloud Peak.”
“Forget it.”
Ye Dun smiled and said, “Since I can’t walk the path of cultivation, I can only go back and inherit my family’s wealth. If I can’t live a carefree life and become immortal, then I’ll change to a rich life. I’ll have a group of wives and concubines. I don’t want to come to this world for nothing.”
“Okay.”
Qi Ming patted Ye Dun’s shoulder, not knowing whether to be envious or depressed.
He asked, “Ye Dun, according to what First Elder Mu said today, how much of the mortal world does the Heaven Enlightenment Sect control? Do you know?”
Ye Dun nodded and said, “I do know a little, since you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
“Okay.” Qi Ming said.
Ye Dun slowly explained, “The Heaven Enlightenment Sect is one of the three major sects of the Southern Region and is divided into twelve peaks. The Green Cloud Peak is one of them, which is where we are.”
“What are the three sects?” Qi Ming asked.
“Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Spring Autumn Sect, Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.”
Ye Dun replied, “In fact, I don’t know the details. I’m just the son of an ordinary businessman. How could I know so many secrets?”
“However, in terms of the mortal world that the Heaven Enlightenment Sect controls, just the Green Cloud Peak alone controls the Yuan Sheng Empire, the Great Yan Kingdom, and the Phoenix Fire Kingdom.”
“My family’s Chamber of Commerce, the Hundred Treasure Chamber of Commerce, is one of the three largest in the Yuan Sheng Empire.”
“Yes.” Qi Ming nodded.
He had some understanding of the power of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect now.
Just one Green Cloud Peak controlled two kingdoms and an empire.
Next, Qi Ming asked Ye Dun some more things and ended the conversation. Ye Dun also left. His servant mission today was to feed some low-level spiritual beasts in the Green Cloud Peak.
Immediately after, Qi Ming took out the Nine Spirit Illusion Steps jade slip that Mu Qing had given him. He circulated his spirit energy and injected it into it, guiding the spell recorded in the jade slip into his mind.
Half an hour later, Qi Ming memorized the ‘Nine Spirit Illusion Steps’.
Crack! Crack!
The jade slip in Qi Ming’s hand also cracked into two. It was already useless.
“Tsk.”
Qi Ming pursed his lips. “I still wanted to sell this jade slip for spirit stones, but it’s a one-time use item. It can only be used once. Old Mu really doesn’t give me any opportunities.”
In fact, after fighting Daoist White Bones, Qi Ming had already deeply experienced the inadequacy of his spells and moves against his enemies. He only knew the Green Cloud Sword Technique and the Heavenly Eagle Claw, and he was only at the beginner stage of mastery.
If Qi Ming had grasped more spells and methods to deal with enemies and had a higher realm, he would not have been suppressed by Daoist White Bones the entire time.
The Outer Sect Assessment not only tested one’s cultivation level, but also their combat methods.
“Activate the second AFK Farming slot.” Qi Ming said.
Ding!
“The host doesn’t have enough spirit stones. The activation has failed. You need 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to activate the second slot.”
“10,000 low-grade spirit stones?”
Qi Ming smacked his lips.
“I’ll charge a hundred low-grade spirit stones and practice the Green Cloud Sword Technique.” Qi Ming said.
Ding!
“AFK Farming the ‘Green Cloud Sword Technique’ at tenfold the effect…”
“A hundred low-grade spirit stones charged. Skill Pet AFK Farming: Bat Demon.”
Ding!
“AFK Farming the Bat Demon at tenfold the effect…”
“Activate the new game dungeon.” Qi Ming continued.
Ding!
“The host used five low-grade spirit stones as the ticket and successfully activated the fifth level Qi Refinement realm game dungeon, ‘Gloomy Swamp’. Successfully entered the game dungeon.”
At the same time, the scene of the game dungeon appeared in front of Qi Ming.
At the periphery of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there was a low-level demon beast called the Swamp Giant Lizard living in the Gloomy Swamp. It occupied the entire Gloomy Swamp and became a medium-sized demon beast group.
On this day, Qi Ming’s game character, who was also the peerless swordsman, arrived at the Gloomy Swamp. He held the Skeleton Sword and began to slaughter the Swamp Giant Lizards.
Unknowingly, a day passed.
Ding!
“The ‘Green Cloud Sword Technique’ has been cultivated for a day under the tenfold enhancement. Its mastery has increased from Beginner to Mastered.”
A notification appeared.
Indeed, Qi Ming felt a change. At this moment, his consciousness entered a mysterious state as if he had an epiphany.
Clang! Clang! Clang!!!
The sound of swords rang in his ears.
Not long after, Qi Ming’s mastery of the Green Cloud Sword Technique had reached the Mastered realm. He was like a peerless swordsman who had been practicing the sword for many years. His aura was sharp.
Then, he slowly hid it.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Qi Ming was very satisfied.
Ding!
“‘Spirit Pet: Bat Demon has grown for a day under the tenfold enhancement. Its strength has increased from the late-stage of the seventh level Qi Refinement realm to the late-stage of the eighth level Qi Refinement realm.”
Qi Ming’s mood became even better.
Ding!
“You had been AFK Farming for a day in the game dungeon of the ‘Gloomy Swamp’. You have cleared the game dungeon once. You have received: one Giant Lizard Shield and 50 low-grade spirit stones.”
“Giant Lizard Shield.”
Swish!
With a thought, Qi Ming took out the Giant Lizard Shield. It was only the size of a palm and was a talisman treasure at the Qi Refinement realm. It could be bound by blood and refined with spirit energy. It could be big or small and was a defensive treasure.
Item: Giant Lizard Shield
Introduction: A talisman treasure refined from the skin and scales of a ‘Swamp Giant Lizard’. The talisman treasure for the Qi Refinement realm is divided into four grades: low, middle, high, and top. The Giant Lizard Shield is a high-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasure.
“High-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasure.”
Qi Ming’s mood became even happier.
Speaking of which…
All the Qi Refinement realm talismans in Qi Ming’s hands, including the Skeleton Sword and the Skeleton Robe, were only medium-grade Qi Refinement realm talismans. They could not compare to the Giant Lizard Shield.
