Chapter 91: Perfected Foundation Establishment
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The essence of cultivation was to combine cultivation and actual combat.
It was similar to reading books. If one only knew how to study and not put it into practice, then there was basically no point in having studied.
It was the same case in cultivation.
Having a high cultivation level without actually being able to put it to any use would simply be a huge waste.
Such a career was too decadent and had no future.
Although Li Ming wanted to live a quiet life and cultivate freely, he could not avoid fighting.
It was inevitable.
The world was plagued with problems.
As long as people were present, competition would as well.
Li Ming could not stay away from such competition forever.
So, he chose to join the competitions, and he had to do his best!
With this thought in mind, Li Ming became even more interested in cultivation and increasing his strength.
During the remaining month before the sect competition, Li Ming completely remained in seclusion.
During this period, apart from a few consecrators who came over to get some pills from him, Li Ming spent the rest of his time in cultivation.
The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly.
On this day, while practicing the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art with the help of the blazing sun shining brightly in the sky, Li Ming tempered his body repeatedly.
As he moved, the golden crow true fire around him moved as well.
Beneath Li Ming were piles of spirit stones. While circulating the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, spiritual qi flowed out from the spirit stones and was absorbed by Li Ming.
Ever since he mastered pill refinement, Li Ming no longer lacked spirit stones.
On the contrary, he had more than enough resources.
Pill refiners, especially high-grade pill refiners, were the most popular occupation no matter where they went.
And when it came to sects, they were regarded as valuable treasures.
No matter how talented a person was, even if they were as talented as Chen Qingke, they would need pills for cultivation.
If people only consumed some low-grade pills, the effects that the cultivator would receive would obviously not be ideal.
High-grade pills were very difficult to obtain.
In the entire Eastern Continent, there were no pill refiners above the third grade.
And Li Ming was the only fifth-grade pill refiner in the Eastern Continent!
Of course, other than Li Ming, only a few of the sect consecrators knew about this.
Once it was leaked, it would definitely cause another uproar in the Eastern Continent!
“It’s here!”
In the courtyard, Li Ming’s movements suddenly accelerated. As his arm shook out, flames soared into the sky from Li Ming’s body. At the same time, rays of golden crow spiritual qi burst out like starlight!
His entire body was shining brightly!
As soon as his movements ended, Li Ming’s aura instantly soared!
The eighth level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art!
The perfected level of the body cultivation foundation establishment realm!
The perfected level of the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm!
At this moment, the aura emanating from Li Ming had become incredibly domineering!
His cultivation had successfully broken through!
He had reached the eighth level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, successfully entering the perfected level of the foundation establishment realm!
The two months of arduous cultivation had clearly benefited Li Ming greatly.
The results were excellent.
Li Ming’s cultivation had increased significantly.
“Not bad, your cultivation speed is truly abnormal.”
“Cultivating both body and qi has always been the slowest and most troublesome path of cultivation.”
“Furthermore, you’re even proficient in pill refining. Despite such circumstances, your cultivation speed is actually still so fast.”
“Your talent is truly monstrous.”
The black stone seemed to be very clear about all kinds of situations.
Especially when it came to body and qi dual cultivation.
This made Li Ming even more curious. What was the origin of this black stone? How did it know so much?
“Who exactly are you?”
“The magical arts that you gave me were of the mystic tier, and the crystals you gave me to forge the Golden Crow Sword with was also incredibly unique. Now, you even seem to be quite knowledgeable on the path of body and qi dual cultivation. ”
“If I remember correctly, there had not been a single person who has cultivated both body and qi in the entire Eastern Continent for hundreds of years.”
“So how do you know so much?”
Li Ming asked curiously.
When Li Ming first discovered the black stone, he already had a lot of questions. However, when he first asked it questions, the black stone did not explain anything to him.
These days, Li Ming came to realize just how profound the black stone’s knowledge of the cultivation world was, so he naturally grew more and more curious.
Whether it was pill refinement or body cultivation, it seemed to know everything clearly.
The black stone’s response to Li Ming’s question was simple.
“It’s still too early to tell you.”
“You just need to know that I will not harm you.”
“As for the rest, you will naturally come to know the truth when you are strong enough.”
The black stone’s words sounded mysterious and unfathomable.
It made it seem like a hidden expert.
However, Li Ming did not care about its attitude at all.
Instead, he simply said, “Cut it out.”
“Wait for me to become stronger?”
“What? You want me to avenge you or something?”
“I’m not interested in that. All of this is merely an exchange between you and me. I give you spirit stones, and you give me what I need.”
“As for your matter, it depends on my mood.”
Li Ming did not fall into the trap at all.
He was not dumb, how could he not know the implications of the circumstance he was in?
There was obviously a soul trapped in this strange black stone. It was most likely an old man.
Li Ming was familiar with such storylines in his previous life.
Naturally, he would not allow himself to fall into such a low-level trap.
Hearing Li Ming’s words, the black stone was speechless.
This kid.
Back then, it had wanted to ask for help to recover a physical body. However, Li Ming had guessed it ahead of time.
It was the same now.
No wonder he was so talented and smart. He could understand so much things with just a few words.
This was truly rather unbelievable.
However, it did not matter.
To be able to witness the rise of such a genius seemed to be a good thing.
Li Ming honestly did not have many thoughts regarding the black stone.
If he could resolve its past, he would naturally find a way to do so.
If he could not, then there was no need to be persistent. “Don’t worry, kid. I won’t force you to do anything.” “You can just continue to do whatever you need to do, I will continue to give you the same benefits.”
“You can rest assured that you will continue to receive benefits from me.” The black stone immediately expressed its opinion.
After this period of time, it finally understood what kind of person Li Ming was.
If he was forced to do something, it would obviously be of no use.
On the contrary, it would only make things more difficult.
The black stone’s words put Li Ming at ease.
The path of cultivation had always been illusory and mysterious.
What Li Ming knew was limited to the sect he was in.
In fact, Li Ming was not even that knowledgeable on the details of the entire
Eastern Continent.
With the existence of an encyclopedia like the black stone, he could avoid a lot of trouble.
The black stone allowed Li Ming to understand certain things and have a glimpse of the wider cultivation world in advance.
This was a good thing..
