nAfter writing down his insights on Illustrious Casket to remove Chen Lingyu’s future problems, he also comprehended the Dao Canon and the Nine Nines Mysteries Art for Ling Xian and Zhuo Qingyao. And his last merits also burned with them. His path forward was wide, so he didn’t need may merits. But the further he went the greater the price, as it already reached the current amount of a thousand and five hundred merits.

nEven the Dao Canon’s inferred comprehension used eight hundred.

nAs for Bones of the Taotie, this method was just too odd. It needed 9999 merits just to get started!

nChen Ming used the excuse that Li Suyi’s cultivation wasn’t stable to postpone imparting Bones of the Taotie, and only taught him Demonic Blood Saber’s method. This would help Li Suyi transform his saber energy through the use of the Demonic Blood Saber.

nChen Ming wasn’t at all worried about Li Suyi’s cultivation. He was one who experienced rebirth, and definitely had some strength in his previous world.

nChen Ming sat in the courtyard combing through his thoughts, cooking up a plan to rope in more chives, when the bear brothers dropped by for a round of Fight the Landlord. But Chen Ming was in no mood for playing and waved his hand, to go find someone else. The bear brothers were refined men, playing with a Great Fiend would be too boring. Since Sir Archfiend had not time to mind them, their sights landed on Ling Xian who happened to show up at that time. This little brother has met some fortune recently, he should be loaded with spirit stones, “Brother Ling Xian, come play with us Fight the Landlord!”

nLing Xian waved his hand. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to play with these two silly geese. Since they were Chen Ming’s followers, they could come and go as the pleased in Chen Ming’s lair, besides his disciples, “I don’t know how.”

nEldest Bear said, “The rules are simple. We are all cultivators here, and after explaining it once you will remember it.”

nSecond Bear added, “Yeah, a cultivator needs to have some time off too. We won’t play too long, so come relax.”

nLing Xian again refused, “It’s not that I don’t want, but I truly don’t know how to play.”

nEldest Bear smiled, “No worry, you’ll know as we play. All the Archfiend play it too.”

nWhat a joke, you don’t know how to play. If I don’t give you a good fleecing then it’ll bring me shame.

nSecond Bear said, “Yeah, you’ll get the hang of it as we play.”

nWith such kindness, Ling Xian reluctantly sat down. Chen Ming pitied the bears, With Ling Xian taking a seat, you two will end up repenting!

nThey dealt the cards and when Ling Xian saw his cards, they were all great, “Can I call Landlord?”

nThe bear brothers smiled at each other, “It’s alright, you’re the Landlord!”

nThen Ling Xian took the last three cards, and after checking his hand, he shily spoke, “Can I take out four of a kind?”

nSecond Bear: “Of course, they’re the bomb, they’re worth double!”

nLing Xian revealed his hand, “Four eights, you guys want them?”

nThe bear brothers looked at each other, He is indeed a newbie, he even dropped a bomb.

n“No, no, continue.”

n“Four tens.”

n“Pass.”

n“Four kings.”

n“Pass.”

n“Four aces.”

n“Pass!”

n“Two twos.”

n“Pass!”

nThe bears frowned, sensing a headache coming.

nLing Xian finally put his last pair of kings down.

nEldest Bear: “Must be his luck.”

nSecond Bear: “Beginner’s luck, let’s go again!”

nThe bears fished out spirit stones while spending the next hour in a daze.

nEldest Bear gave Ling Xian a deep look, “Hey, Ling Xian, look how hardworking your senior sister is. How can you abandon your cultivation, quickly go train!”

nLing Xian smiled, “This game is so fun, and even though it looks complicated, I find it very simple! Let’s go again!”

nBear brothers’ thought, Fun my a*s! From your first hand, we played for two whole hours. We didn’t get to put ten-card down, while all of yours were bombs!

nYou barely know how to play, but each time you draw a card we fish out spirit stones…

nChen Ming was considering a question, If I establish a sect and recruit disciples, then where do I find the resources to groom them? Four personal disciples are already a sucking abyss of pills. Chen Lingyu just started cultivation, so I can’t count on her for supplying pills. It would be great if I can find a Spirit Vein since Dao Sense realm cultivators don’t require many pills, and if there is enough spiritual energy then they can even do without them.

nDon’t I still have a treasure map? Who knows, maybe there’s a Spirit Vein at the end.

nForget it, I don’t trust my luck.

nWait, Chen Ming glanced at Ling Xian and said flatly, “Ling Xian, come along on this trip.”

nWith Ling Xian in tow and after a seven day-long trek, Chen Ming arrived at his destination. At first glance, it was a great mountain surrounded by mist, undisturbed by man. With lush vegetation and the rushing waters from the creek, it just didn’t exhibit anything outlandish.

nThis mountain was in the middle of the wilderness with no trace of humans anywhere. Chen Ming landed on the mountain peak, beginning to search the area. It wasn’t hard to find that this mountain once housed an ancient sect. He released his awareness and soon found a stone door.

nWhen he brought Ling Xian before the door, Chen Ming told him to open it. Finding no danger, Ling Xian pushed the moss-covered door open, and dust littered every corner, as a rotten smell still lingered.

nChen Ming let loose a fire crow which entered the corridor before them, then returned to his hand, “Wait for me here. If there’s any danger, find a safe place. I will go inspect the place.”

nLing Xian cupped his hands, “Yes, Master!”

nAs Chen Ming walked along the stone corridor, he could make out the murals on the side. The deeper he went the thicker the spiritual energy became, There truly is one!

nWith such thick spiritual energy, it felt like he was back in the Astral Immortal Sect’s surroundings. This spiritual energy was akin to a cultivator who absorbed spirit stones without stop, and the purest one at that!

nAn average cultivator’s cultivation would be filled with impurities. And from what he just felt, this was actually the purest water attribute spiritual energy!

nTaking a deep breath, a refreshing an cool feeling seeped into his heart. Even if it wasn’t a true Spirit Vein, it wasn’t far from becoming one.

nChen Ming walked onward as if he was going through a water world. Suspended in the air was a clear and sparkling water droplet, lighting up the area like a night pearl.

nWherever he passed, the water droplets cleared a path. This made Chen Ming raise an eyebrow, Seems to be a stone room filled with water droplets. Chen Ming opened the door and saw a blue small carp with three-leaf lotus on its head. It was as big as a palm, sparkling and pure, blocking with his body a large spirit stone while spitting twice at Chen Ming.

nIs this a… moe attack?
