Chapter 27
However, the unexpected encounters along the way left Li Ming with a lingering fear.
If he was not careful, he might really die and deny himself from the immortal path.
This was especially so during the night in the temple. He had made the wrong move and had fallen into a rather dangerous situation.
Going down the mountain truly had its risks…
But to be able to get the purple entry in exchange, Li Ming felt that it was all worth it.
After the past three years of hard work, he had only managed to get one blue entry after combining numerous of the entries he had grinded for.
Now after going down the mountain once, although it was a frightful experience, the harvest was also equally gratifying.
Just as Li Ming was thinking this, a new prompt sounded in his mind.
[Obtained a purple entry]
[Martial Dao Prodigy (Purple): Body tempering efficiency increased by 200%.]
After seeing the effect of [Martial Dao Prodigy], Li Ming was very happy. The effect of this term was really worthy of a purple entry.
His body tempering efficiency had increased by 200% just like that. What kind of concept was this?
Previously, with the support of [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians], the efficiency of his cultivation techniques had increased by 100%, and he was already at the peak of the peak!
Now that his foundation had doubled, his cultivation speed could be visualized from here on out. It was clear that it would reach a terrifying level.
That was not all. Li Ming did not forget that it was a purple entry.
Compared to the blue entries, which only came with one skill, the purple entries came with an opportunity on top of a skill.
The type of opportunity being mentioned here was something that everyone in the immortal cultivation world was after!
Purple entries were simply a big purple gift bag, and every gift was filled with surprises.
The first thing he saw was the skill that came with the entry—Unwavering in Battle.
The skill that came with the purple entry was absolutely not something that ordinary skills could compare to.
[Unwavering in Battle: The more injured you are, the stronger you become. The more you fight, the braver you become.]
Li Ming was shocked by the effects of the skill. This skill seemed to be a little too abnormal.
Normally, the more injured a cultivator was, the harder it would be for them to display their full strength.
However, this skill allowed him to reverse this concept.
Especially since he was a body cultivator, it was normal for him to get injured in a fight. However, with this skill, the more injured he became, the greater the combat power he could unleash. The effect of this skill on his combat power was undeniably massive.
This skill also gave Li Ming the ability to counterattack.
After all, whenever he gets injured, the enemy would let their guard down. At that time, how could they possibly know that he would still be able to burst out with such great strength?
What Li Ming was most curious about was what kind of power he would be able to unleash when he was on the verge of death.
Without a doubt, this was another super-powerful skill!
This was a unique skill and also a trump card.
Li Ming looked at his latest harvest with great satisfaction.
There were many possible opportunities that he could receive. He could receive an opportunity to improve his comprehension ability, spiritual roots, talent, and so on.
The spiritual roots opportunity, particularly, was a great fortuitous opportunity that could change his immortal cultivation talent.
[Obtained a divine soul opportunity]
“A divine soul-type opportunity!”
To Li Ming, this was a pleasant surprise.
The divine soul was the key to containing the divine sense, spiritual soul, and spirit. To a cultivator, it was no less important than their own body’s strength.
Usually, the divine soul would grow along with the level of one’s qi refinement.
Stronger cultivators could use their divine soul to detect weaker cultivators, allowing them to deal with their enemies with ease.
All along, Li Ming had mainly focused on body cultivation.
He did not even put much energy into Qi cultivation, much less the divine soul.
However, now that he had a divine soul opportunity, everything was different!
Purple entries were absolutely incredible.
The benefits he received this time were amazing.
Li Ming walked to a corner of the square, eager to receive this divine soul opportunity.
But in the end, he held back.
Even within the sect, he had to be extremely careful.
Not to mention that there were many people in the square.
Looking at the divine soul opportunity that was waiting to be received, Li Ming’s heart itched, but he still decided to only receive it when he returned to the privacy of his cave abode.
…
Li Ming calculated for a moment.
His current cultivation level was at the peak of the eighth level of the qi refinement stage, while his Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art was at the peak of the fifth level.
He was only one step away from breaking through, and he needed another push.
Other than going into closed-door cultivation, purchasing pills for cultivation was also a must.
Immortal cultivation was about techniques, wealth, companions, and land. Techniques referred to the various cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and skills that one had learned.
The second most important thing was wealth. From a certain perspective, it was no less important than cultivation techniques.
Cultivation required medicinal pills, advancements required medicinal pills, and even some cultivation techniques required special resources to train in them.
Fortunately, he was in the Divine Will Sect.
As a first-class force in the eastern continent, the Divine Will Sect could be considered rich and overbearing.
In addition to the spirit stones that were given out every month, the merit points awarded by each mission could also be exchanged for resources.
For example, Li Ming had completed the sect’s emergency mission this time. He had caught three demons, which was a considerable contribution.
After thinking about the medicinal pills he wanted to exchange for, Li Ming immediately went to the hundred opportunities hall.
…
In addition to issuing missions, the hundred opportunities hall also provided a window for the disciples to obtain resources.
Of course, these resources were not free.
If they were given away for free, the Divine Will Sect would not be able to afford the expenses of so many disciples, no matter how rich they were.
These resources needed to be exchanged with merit points, and if he wanted merit points, he had to complete missions.
Such a mechanism could better stimulate the fighting spirit of the disciples.
Furthermore, the missions in the sect were also a form of training for the disciples.
At this time, there were quite a few people in the hall who were already exchanging their merit points for resources.
Li Ming saw a senior brother who had exchanged for a high-level magical artifact.
Li Ming, who originally thought that he had a lot of merit points, suddenly felt that the number of merit points he had were quite low.
Of course, this was because he had been in closed-door cultivation for many years and did not do many missions.
After his strength had increased, it would be easy for him to complete the missions issued by the sect.
When it was Li Ming’s turn, he injected his spiritual qi to display the merit points he had.
“Hello, senior brother. I would like to exchange for ten bottles of spiritual liquid, a bottle of qi sea pills, and a bottle of yang forging pills.”
The senior brother in charge of providing the resources took out a pile of medicinal pills and resources for Li Ming.
Then, he took Li Ming’s merit points.
“Ugh…” Li Ming looked at the few merit points he had left and silently stored away the pills he had just received.
As the saying goes, if the old does not go, the new would not come.
The most important thing was to quickly convert the merit points and medicinal pills into his own strength.
After putting all the pills into his storage bag, Li Ming left the hundred opportunities hall.
He was filled with vigor. This time, when he returned, he would definitely go into closed-door cultivation and increase his strength.
With the purple entry [Martial Arts Prodigy], it would be very easy for him to increase his strength by leaps and bounds.
Li Ming really wanted to see just how fast his cultivation speed could go now.
He quickly rushed back to his cave abode that he had not seen for quite some time.
As soon as Li Ming arrived at his cave abode and passed through the bamboo forest, he found a familiar figure guarding the entrance of his cave abode.
“Junior Sister Chen?”
Li Ming was slightly stunned.
This time, he had gone on a long journey.
He did not expect Chen Qingke to be waiting outside his cave abode the moment he returned.
