    “Stay.”


    Buzz!


    On the distant horizon, a seven-colored flowing light flew over. It was a torrent that soared through the sky and seemed to have teleported through space to restrain the Ninth Grade ck Lotus.


    Swish!


    Soon, a graceful figure flew over and stood in front of Qi Ming. Qi Ming looked up and saw Senior Sister Lü Qingyan.


    “Senior Sister, why are you here?” Qi Ming asked.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Not long after, several outer sect elders came.


    “Destroy!”


    Boom!


    Lü Qingyan clenched her right hand and a powerful force erupted, directly annihting the ninth-grade ck lotus. She then retracted her hand as a seven-colored belt returned to Lü Qingyan’s waist.


    “Elder Lü.”


    In the surroundings, the outer sect elders bowed to Lü Qingyan.


    “Mm.”


    Lü Qingyan floated down and ignored the outer sect elders. Her gazended on Qi Ming as she smiled, “Little Junior Brother, you’ve done a great deed this time.”


    “This Cao Jinxiu was bewitched by the ck Lotus Demon Lord. He did not know that he was nted with the ck Lotus Demon Seed and did not know how terrifying it was.”


    “This is because the person who bears the ck Lotus Demon Seed will forever be enved by the ck Lotus Demon Lord.”


    “Little Junior Brother, you caught Cao Jinxiu and prevented him from entering the inner sect of the Green Cloud Peak. I’ll help you report this matter to the sect and apply for a reward.”


    Qi Ming was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he bowed to Lü Qingyan, “Thank you, Senior Sister.”


    “Mm.” Lu Qingyan nodded and said, “The ck Lotus Demon Lord is not from the Myriad Demon Cave. He is the Sect Master of the ck Lotus Cult. Although it is far inferior to the Myriad Demon Cave, it is still a considerable Demon Sect.”


    “You destroyed his ck Lotus Demon Seed. He might find trouble with you. Be careful in the future.”


    Qi Ming had a suspicious expression as he thought to himself, ‘Didn’t Senior Sister destroy the ck Lotus Demon Lord’s ck Lotus Demon Seed? What does it have to do with me? I only killed Cao Jinxiu.’


    However, on second thought, Qi Ming understood.


    Lü Qingyan was an inner sect elder of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s Green Cloud Peak and a big shot at the Nascent Soul realm. Her status and strength were very high. The ck Lotus Demon Lord naturally did not dare to easily find trouble with Lü Qingyan.


    If the ck Lotus Demon Lord wanted to take revenge, he would definitely find Qi Ming first.


    Qi Ming muttered in his mind, “It’s the same everywhere, they all like to bully the weak.”


    After hearing Lü Qingyan’s words, the outer sect elders looked at each other. They pondered for a moment before saying, “Elder Lü is right. The credit of Legacy Disciple Qi this time is indeed not small.”


    In fact, these outer sect elders felt that this matter was very strange. Moreover, they only needed to carefully inquire and investigate before finding out the grudge between Qi Ming and Cao Jinxiu.


    It could even be said that…


    As long as they wanted to, they could even pin the crime of killing a fellow disciple on Qi Ming.


    However, when Cao Jinxiu fell into the demonic path and fused with the ck Lotus Demon Seed, the situationpletely changed. It became natural for Qi Ming to personally kill Cao Jinxiu.


    This was because Qi Ming was ying a demon.


    Most importantly, Lü Qingyan had personally said that Qi Ming had found the spy from the Demon Sect, and Qi Ming was a legacy disciple. Behind him was the legacy elder of the Green Cloud Peak, Elder Feng.


    These outer sect elders could not touch him at all.


    To put it bluntly, this was the importance of having a backer.


    What Pang San said back then was very reasonable.


    This matter had been resolved.


    Qi Ming left the Green Cloud Peak that night and returned to the Falling Cloud Cave Abode. Lü Qingyan reported this matter and applied for a reward of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones for Qi Ming.


    The next day, Qi Ming received the sect reward. Senior Sister Lü Qingyan personally came.


    In the following period of time, Qi Ming did not leave the Falling Cloud Peak much. He stayed in the Falling Cloud Cave Abode and cultivated. With a thought, Qi Ming opened the AFK Farming Software.

    …


    After Qi Ming finished the Outer Sect Assessment and became a legacy disciple, he obtained a set of Qi Refinement realm Dharma treasures bestowed by the Green Cloud Peak.


    There were a total of five.


    Each of them was a top-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasure.


    Not only was it beautiful, but it was also very practical.


    Qi Ming sold the Chen n’s Demon ying Sword, the Skeleton Sword, the Skeleton Robe, and a series of treasures and medicinal pills that he had plundered from the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm to many outer sect disciples.


    This way, Qi Ming earned a lot of spirit stones.


    In addition, Lü Qingyan had sent over 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.


    Qi Ming still had 150,000 spirit stones left.


    He pondered for a moment, “Now, I’ll first cultivate all twelve of the prerequisite spell techniques of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture to the Perfection realm. Then, I’ll condense the seal and establish my Dao Foundation to enter the Foundation Establishment realm.”


    In the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect, the cultivation difficulty of the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture was top-notch.


    It was ranked at the top.


    Looking at the history of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, only three people had sessfully reached the Foundation Establishment realm with the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.


    First, the founder of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Daoist Heaven Enlightenment.


    Second, the Grand Elder of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Lu Fengjian, who had ascended to the immortal realm 100,000 years ago.


    Third, the current Sect Master of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Yang Li.


    From this, it was obvious how difficult it was to master the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.


    Actually, Elder Feng had let Qi Ming choose this Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture to reach the Foundation Establishment realm only because he wanted Qi Ming to give it a try. After all, Qi Ming’s cultivation speed andprehension were indeed very strong.


    But in fact, be it Elder Feng or Miao Hongjian, they did not think that Qi Ming could sessfully cultivate the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture. However, they did not say it because they did not want to dampen his spirit.


    Moreover, Elder Feng had long made ns.


    As long as Qi Ming’s progress was too slow, he would take the opportunity to make him give up on cultivating the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture and cultivate another technique.


    Qi Ming sat cross-legged andprehended the profundities within, “The twelve prerequisite spell techniques are: the Metal Maniption Sword Art, the Wood Maniption Sword Art, the Water Maniption Sword Art, the Fire Maniption Sword Art, the Earth Maniption Sword Art, the Wind Maniption Sword Art, the Ice Maniption Sword Art, the Lightning Maniption Sword Art, the Extreme Yin Sword Art, the Extreme Yang Sword Art, the Time Sword Art, and the Space Sword Art.”


    “These twelve sword technique spells correspond to: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Ice, Wind, Lightning, Yin, Yang, Time, and Space. There are twelve attributes.”


    “Let’s take it one step at a time.”


    “I’ll cultivate the Wind Maniption Sword Art and the Lightning Maniption Sword Art to the Perfection realm first.”


    Qi Ming thought to himself.


    Unknowingly, it was already afternoon.


    After practicing the Wind Maniption Sword Art and the Lightning Maniption Sword Art for a day, the improvement in the Wind Maniption Sword Art was not great. It was not enough to reach the Perfection realm. Instead, the Lightning Maniption Sword Art had reached the Beginner realm.


    “I’ll charge 20,000 low-grade spirit stones and practice the Wind Maniption Sword Art and the Lightning Maniption Sword Art.”


    Qi Ming said, “Enter the game dungeon ‘Shushan Ancient Path’.”


    Immediately after, a few notifications appeared.


    Then, in front of Qi Ming, the game dungeon screen appeared.


    He transformed into the game character, the Peerless Swordsman, and arrived at the foot of the mountain. He looked up at the towering Shushan, but he could not see the end.


    He walked into the Shushan Ancient Path.


    The scene was clear.


    It was as if he was physically there.
