At the same time.
Ding!
“You have been AFK Farming in the ‘Shushan Ancient Path’ game dungeon for seven days. You have cleared the game dungeon seven times. You have received: Seven Star Sword, Sword Control Technique, one top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and 630 low-grade spirit stones.”
“These are all very ordinary.” Qi Ming said.
The Seven Star Sword was a top-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasure, and the Sword Control Technique was only a top-grade Qi Refinement realm spell technique. However, Qi Ming did not lack spell techniques and talisman treasures now.
Of course, the value of a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was very high. It could help one reach the Foundation Establishment realm. It was worth at least 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, or even higher. It was priceless.
However, Qi Ming did not need a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill to help him reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
Therefore, these things were basically sold by Qi Ming for spirit stones.
Qi Ming said, “In order to master all twelve spell techniques to perfection, in the past few days, I spent a total of 112,000 low-grade spirit stones. Opening the second spirit pet slot consumed 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.”
“I’ve cleared the game dungeon these few days and obtained some low-grade spirit stones.”
“I still have 30,000 low-grade spirit stones left.”
“I wonder if these spirit stones can allow me to successfully cultivate the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture and reach the Foundation Establishment realm.”
Immediately after, Qi Ming took out the Seven Star Sword. The body of the sword was long and slender. Seven gemstones of different colors were embedded on the hilt with the position of the Big Dipper.
It looked quite beautiful.
Then, Qi Ming started practicing the twelve prerequisite spells. Starting from the Metal Manipulation Sword Art, sword techniques were executed by Qi Ming, forming countless sword shadows around him.
Moreover…
Twelve sword intents appeared.
They existed in a mysterious state.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, lightning, yin, yang, time, and space. The twelve sword intents flowed endlessly, creating a formidable pressure.
Finally, Qi Ming was completely familiar with these twelve sword techniques.
He slowly stopped cultivating.
“I can begin.”
With a thought, Qi Ming said, “I’ll charge 10,000 low-grade spirit stones and practice the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.”
Ding!
“The twelve prerequisite spells have been cultivated to perfection. You’ve successfully started the AFK Farming. The Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture is being cultivated under the enhancement of 1,000 times… Estimated to complete in ten days.”
A notification appeared.
“Success.”
Qi Ming was delighted, but he quickly frowned. “It takes ten days to master despite a thousandfold increase in speed.”
“This difficulty is really exaggerated.”
“30,000 low-grade spirit stones are obviously not enough.”
On the other side, the scene changed.
Green Cloud Peak.
At the peak, in the Peak Master’s cave abode.
Miao Hongjian and the legacy elders of the Green Cloud Peak were in the cave abode hall. They were discussing the upcoming Heaven Enlightenment Assembly.
There was still half a month left.
The Heaven Enlightenment Assembly was about to begin.
“During this period of time, two major things happened in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. The first was to get rid of the spies from the Demon Sect, and the second was an even bigger commotion. Even the Sect Master was alarmed.”
Miao Hongjian said, “There’s less than half a month left. We have to prepare well for the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly.”
“According to the rules, the legacy disciple that the Green Cloud Peak sent to preside over this time should be Qi Ming, right?”
Miao Hongjian’s gaze landed on Elder Feng.
“Cough cough.”
Elder Feng coughed lightly, “Qi Ming has yet to reach the Foundation Establishment realm. I’m afraid he can’t bear this responsibility.”
The other Green Cloud Peak’s legacy elder, Dong Jiqing, smiled and said, “Elder Feng, this is the rule of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Every Heaven Enlightenment Assembly is presided over by the legacy disciples of each peak. There are also three inner sect elders and twelve outer sect elders.”
“The other legacy disciples have presided over it, but only Qi Ming has not.”
“Indeed.” The other legacy elders nodded, “We can’t break the rules of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect because of Qi Ming.”
“Forget it.” Elder Feng said, “Then let’s do it this way. When the time comes, I’ll send someone to help Qi Ming.”
“Mm.” Miao Hongjian nodded.
Immediately after, they discussed the exact details of the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly before leaving one after another. Only Miao Hongjian and Elder Feng were left in the hall.
“Looking at the time, it has been nearly half a month since Qi Ming obtained the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.”
Miao Hongjian said, “You should go take a look at his progress. You and I both know the difficulty of cultivating the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture. If there’s really no choice, tell him as soon as possible and let Qi Ming cultivate on the right track.”
“Peak Master is right,” Elder Feng nodded and said, “I’ll go take a look.”
“Qi Ming is probably having a headache.”
When Elder Feng thought of this, he could not help but smile. His mood suddenly became good.
Actually, in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, for every legacy disciple of the twelve peaks, after becoming a legacy disciple, their respective masters would suggest that they cultivate the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture. However, they would basically not be able to master it and suffer a huge blow.
Why did they do that?
There were many reasons.
First, the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture was very powerful. If they could successfully cultivate it, their future cultivation path would be smooth.
Second, those who were able to become legacy disciples had high talent and providence. They naturally had pride and unyielding character, allowing them to experience a little setback and understand that there was always someone better.
Third, they wanted all the legacy disciples to know the foundation of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect and increase their sense of belonging to it.
“Perfect timing,” Miao Hongjian also smiled and said, “I’m free now. I’ll go with you.”
Swish! Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Hongjian and Elder Feng transformed into two streaks of light and left the Peak Master’s cave abode. They fled to the Falling Cloud Peak five kilometers away at their speed.
In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the Falling Cloud Peak.
Elder Feng descended from the sky and stood at the entrance of the Falling Cloud Cave Abode. He sent a voice transmission to Qi Ming’s ear, “Qi Ming, I came to check your cultivation progress these few days.”
Qi Ming was cultivating in the Falling Cloud Cave Abode. When he heard Elder Feng’s voice transmission, his expression froze. He quickly stood up and walked out of the cave abode to receive his master. He cupped his hands and bowed, “Greetings, Master.”
“Greetings, Peak Master.”
Qi Ming saw Miao Hongjian standing beside Elder Feng and bowed again.
“Mm.” Miao Hongjian nodded.
“Qi Ming!” Elder Feng coughed lightly and said, “It’s already been half a month. How many of the twelve spell techniques of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture have you grasped?”
“Master, I’m slow-witted and haven’t grasped many.”
Qi Ming did not speak the truth. He even revealed a vexed and sleepy expression, “The Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture is indeed worthy of being one of the most difficult cultivation methods to master in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. The difficulty is really huge.”
“I understand your difficulty.”
Elder Feng held back his laughter and showed an expression of pity, “In the history of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, only three people have been able to master the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.”
“So, Qi Ming, you don’t have to be so discouraged.”
“I came here mainly to tell you that it’s fine if you can’t master the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture. I have a cultivation technique inheritance that’s more suitable for you. There’s no need to fight to the death over the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.”
“In addition, in the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly in half a month, as the legacy disciple of the Green Cloud Peak, you represent us. You need to oversee it.”
Qi Ming said in a difficult manner, “Master, my cultivation level is too low. I’m not even at the Foundation Establishment realm. How can I represent the Green Cloud Peak to preside over the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly? Also, although it’s very difficult to master the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture, I still want to continue trying. I really don’t want to be delayed by other things during this period.”
“Then tell me, how many prerequisite spells have you grasped now?”
Elder Feng frowned and questioned, “Don’t force yourself if you can’t master it, in case you waste time. This will greatly affect your future journey.”
“Don’t you understand this?”
“Master.” Qi Ming waved his right hand, and the Green Cloud Falling Cloud Sword appeared in his hand. He used the Wind Manipulation Sword Art without any hesitation. A wisp of Wind Manipulation Sword Intent appeared, and the sword moved with the wind, “This disciple’s aptitude is low. Master, please evaluate this.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword technique quickly changed again.
The Lightning Manipulation Sword Art was used.
The sword move was as fast as lightning. It controlled lightning and was surrounded by lightning.
However, it was not over yet.
Cold air surged.
An ice intent condensed.
Qi Ming’s sword move became the Ice Manipulation Sword Art.
“This… this…”
Elder Feng and Miao Hongjian were stunned on the spot..
