Chapter 42 - Spirit Pet: Shushan Disciple

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the game scene, the game character that Qi Ming had transformed into entered the Shushan Ancient Path. What greeted his eyes was a quiet mountain path.

If he followed this mountain path forward, he could reach the top of the Shushan Mountain.

In the Shushan Ancient Path, there were a total of nine checkpoints.

He had to pass these nine tests to reach the top of Shushan.

The first round, he encountered the flower demon.

The flower demon was dressed gorgeously and was peerlessly beautiful. Moreover, its charm techniques were extremely high and it even possessed extraordinary combat strength, so it was not easy to pass this round.

However, the game character that Qi Ming had transformed into directly slashed at the demon and easily passed the first level.

The second round, he encountered a snake demon.

Qi Ming also killed the demon with a single strike.

The third level was the fox demon.

Qi Ming still killed it with a single strike.

From the fourth round, the enemy became a disciple of the Shushan Sect.

Qi Ming needed to defeat these Shushan disciples, not kill them.

The fourth level only had one Shushan disciple. The fifth level had two Shushan disciples. Up until the ninth level, there were six Shushan disciples.

Qi Ming passed all of them.

There was no pressure at all.

After walking out of the Shushan Ancient Path, in front, Qi Ming saw upside down mountains floating in the air and incomparably huge chains connecting these mountains.

The buildings of the Shushan Sect were surrounded by clouds.

It had an ethereal immortal feeling.

Night came.

Ding!

“The Wind Manipulation Sword Art has been cultivated for 4.8 hours under the enhancement of 1,000 times. It went from Outstanding to Perfection. It has reached the limit and can no longer be improved. 8,000 low-grade spirit stones will be refunded.”

“The Wind Manipulation Sword Art has reached the Perfection realm.”

Qi Ming was delighted. It only used 4.8 hours and refunded 8,000 low-grade spirit stones.

With a thought, Qi Ming took out the Green Cloud Falling Cloud Sword. His right hand held the hilt. The body of the sword was long and slender, and it was a magic sword that was three fingers wide.

Swish! Swish!

Qi Ming used the Wind Manipulation Sword Art. In his sword moves, there was a wisp of Wind Manipulation Sword Intent. Every move and every strike flowed with the wind.

“Not bad.” Qi Ming was very satisfied.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Ding!

“The Lightning Manipulation Sword Art has been cultivated for a day under the enhancement of 1,000 times. It has broken through realm after realm, from the Beginner to the Perfection realm. It has reached the limit and cannot continue to improve.”

Qi Ming entered a state of epiphany. In an instant, it was as if he had been cultivating the Lightning Manipulation Sword Art for a full 1,000 days.

Crack! Crack!

Qi Ming stood up and held the sword in his right hand as he executed the Lightning Manipulation Sword Art. In between his sword moves, a strand of the Lightning Manipulation Sword Intent had already appeared. On the blade of his sword, there was lightning following it, and it was domineering and swift.

Immediately after, Qi Ming quickly stopped.

“Not bad.”

The corners of Qi Ming’s mouth curled up slightly.

One had to know, the Wind Manipulation Sword Art and the Lightning Manipulation Sword Art were all top-grade Qi Refinement realm spells, and they were even the prerequisites of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture. If one wanted to master these two sword techniques, they required a very high aptitude, much less reach the Perfection realm.

Now, Qi Ming only used a day.

He had cultivated the Wind Manipulation Sword Art and the Lightning Manipulation Sword Art to the Perfection realm.

Of course, cultivating for a day under the enhancement of a thousand times was equivalent to cultivating for a thousand days under normal conditions.

A thousand days was about three years.

In three years, he had cultivated a top-grade Qi Refinement realm spell technique to the Perfection realm.

It was considered average.

However, the 1,000-day cultivation session was completed in a day.

Ding!

“You have been AFK Farming in the ‘Shushan Ancient Path’ game dungeon for a day. You have cleared the game dungeon once. You have received: one Shushan disciple and 90 low-grade spirit stones.”

“This is…”

Qi Ming said in surprise, “A Shushan disciple?”

Item: Shushan Disciple

Introduction: An official disciple who has entered the Shushan Sect has learned the cultivation methods and sword techniques of the Shushan Sect. His aptitude is average, and his potential is below average. He can only reach the late-stage Core Formation (False Core) realm. It will be very difficult for him to advance in the future.

“I didn’t expect that the first dungeon clear of the Shushan Ancient Path would drop a spirit pet like the Shushan disciple.”

Qi Ming said happily, “My luck is not bad.”

In the design of the AFK Farming Software, spirit pets were not only demon beasts like Bat Demon, but also included divine beasts, immortal beasts, and even cultivators.

Everything could become a spirit pet.

It was quite domineering.

“Come out.”

Swish!

With a thought, Qi Ming planned to summon the Shushan Disciple.

Ding!

“Please spend 10,000 low-grade spirit stones to activate the second spirit pet slot or release the Greater Bat Demon.”

A notification popped up.

“Activate the second spirit pet slot.” Qi Ming said.

Ding!

“The second spirit pet slot has been successfully activated.”

Buzz!

The next moment, a white light appeared in front of Qi Ming, and a handsome young man walked out from it. He wore a green and white robe, and a sword was hung at his waist.

“This Shushan disciple, Huo Changqing, greets Master.”

The young man knelt on one knee.

Qi Ming bit his finger and a drop of blood seeped out. Under the control of his spirit energy, it fused into the depths of Huo Changqing’s soul from his forehead.

The spirit pet contract was successful.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Ming felt the connection between him and Huo Changqing. As long as Qi Ming was willing, he could instantly kill Huo Changqing and completely control him.

“What realm are you in now?” Qi Ming asked.

Huo Changqing said, “I joined the Shushan Sect for three years and learned the Shushan Sword Scripture and other cultivation methods. I reached the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm three days ago and became an official disciple of the Shushan Sect.”

“Mm.” Qi Ming nodded, “Early-stage Foundation Establishment, not bad. Go cultivate.”

With a thought, Huo Changqing disappeared from the spot.

Ding!

“Spirit Pet: Shushan Disciple is AFK Farming. You have not invested any spirit stones. He is expected to reach the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm in 15 days.”

“Not bad.” Qi Ming nodded.

“I’ll charge 20,000 low-grade spirit stones.”

Qi Ming said, “Cultivate the Ice Manipulation Sword Art and the Metal Manipulation Sword Art. Continue AFK Farming the dungeon, Shushan Ancient Path.”

He cultivated using AFK Farming under the enhancement of 1,000 times for one day.

The Ice Manipulation Sword Art and the Metal Manipulation Sword Art had both reached the Perfection realm in succession. They had condensed a strand of the Ice Manipulation Sword Intent and a strand of the Metal Manipulation Sword Intent.

In fact, the enhancement of 1,000 times was the highest that Qi Ming could withstand at the moment.

If he exceeded 1,000 times, Qi Ming’s body and cultivation could not withstand too much improvement in a short period of time. He might even die from exploding.

In the following period of time, Qi Ming cultivated two sword techniques every day and cleared the game dungeon, the Shushan Ancient Path.

In the blink of an eye, byl the seventh day.

Ding!

“The Time Sword Art has been cultivated for a day under the enhancement of 1,000 times. Its realm has been raised to the Perfection realm. It has reached the limit and can’t continue to improve.”

Ding!

“The Space Sword Art has been cultivated for a day under the enhancement of 1,000 times. Its realm has been raised to the Perfection realm. It has reached the limit and can’t continue to improve.”

“I’ve already perfected all the prerequisite spells.”

Qi Ming stood up. He was in a very good mood now, “Next, I can officially begin cultivating the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture..”
