Chapter 95: Chapter 94: Qi Refining Level 5

“This person… is a bit too calm.”

“What rank are the elders in his family to bestow such treasures?”

Xun Yi’s Heart Lamp Ability relates to the mind. Paired with Xun Yi’s methods, the Xun Family has countless loyal Honored Guest Elders, forcibly elevating the family from an ordinary first-class to a renowned first-class family.

After two periods of time, a figure returned to Xun Yi’s side and respectfully said, “Patriarch, the test records are accurate. The other aspects are all excellent, and even the Heart Demon Barrier is marked as supreme. However, the Heart Lamp Barrier was not passed, so the overall assessment is moderate.”

“Heart Demon Barrier, supreme? That’s rare. But what a pity, the Heart Lamp Barrier wasn’t passed.”

“Forget it. This child’s identity is mysterious, and even if he can’t pass the Heart Lamp, he shouldn’t be provoked. Just go to the City Lord’s Mansion and register according to what he said.”

“Also, prepare a Phoenix Spirit Contract for him. The matters of Chaofeng Pavilion should not be disclosed casually.”

“Xuanyi, give the orders.”

“Yes, Patriarch!”

The figure disappeared.

The Phoenix Spirit Contract is a mandatory agreement to prevent those who exit Chaofeng Pavilion from disclosing its secrets.

After all, there are risks associated with Chaofeng Pavilion, and naturally, there are some who retire due to battles.

However, the so-called Phoenix Spirit Contract is composed of True Spirit Divine Sense. Jiang Ming didn’t resist, realizing that the contract’s only function was to stop those involved from divulging the secrets of Chaofeng Pavilion.

With the backing of the Xun Family, Jiang Ming settled into Mingwu City quickly and obtained a suitable identity.

As an Honored Guest Elder, Jiang Ming had his own residence and servants, as well as a monthly stipend, positioning him immediately among the middle class of Mingwu City.

An Earth-level Honored Guest Elder equates to a Martial Arts Hall Master-level Martial Artist, enjoying the same treatment as Li Mo.

In exchange, Jiang Ming was required to perform tasks for the Xun Family.

Jiang Ming didn’t resist, as these tasks served well as a cover for his excursions out of the city to hunt evil spirits, and the Xun Family seemed keen to build a good relationship with Jiang Ming, not assigning any mandatory tasks to him.

Spirit Points were already sufficient to initiate the third simulation, yet Jiang Ming wasn’t in a hurry, continuing to gather Spirit Points.

He aimed to activate a powerful talent in one go.

In the days that followed, Jiang Ming lived peacefully in Mingwu City, a calm period without much turmoil. With the identity of an Honored Guest Elder from the Xun Family, Jiang Ming found considerable convenience in his activities.

Jiang Ming began to resemble a squirrel, seeking opportunities to hunt evil spirits outside the city.

However, Jiang Ming chose places near official roads, where evil spirits were relatively weak.

He could easily acquire Simulation Points and Spirit Points, and though they were few, they accumulated into considerable wealth over time.

The resources obtained from tasks were used by Jiang Ming to buy treasures like Extreme Yang Essence, which contained Spirit Points.

Spirit Points were stored up by Jiang Ming, while all Simulation Points were expended to bolster his cultivation.

In the Cultivation Space.

Jiang Ming sat cross-legged on a cliff, surrounded by pure Spiritual Qi pouring into his body.

Within Jiang Ming, True Essence surged, breaking through an invisible membrane.

Qi Refining Fifth Layer!

After exchanging Li Jin’s card, Jiang Ming had experience and began allocating his resources wisely.

The majority of Simulation Points were used by Jiang Ming to exchange for cultivation resources and Cultivation Time.

Half of the allocation was partially spent by Jiang Ming, mainly on cultivation experience, level breakthrough experience, and talisman crafting experience.

Additionally, there were two fairly challenging Advanced Magic skills.

With cultivation experience, Jiang Ming could avoid numerous detours in his practice.

Jiang Ming collected enough material to practice talisman crafting since he lacked sufficient materials for practice.

Talismans are valuable; Jiang Ming had been searching for alternative materials, especially since Zhu Chen had limited talismans, particularly low-level ones.

During the day, evil spirits rarely appeared, and Jiang Ming industriously studied substitute materials then, as talismans could significantly enhance combat ability. In the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, numerous scions of wealthy families, lacking in cultivation but brandishing talismans, had crushed their opponents.

Two months passed in the outside world, but within the Cultivation Space, ten whole years had passed for Jiang Ming during those months.

Ten years from Qi Refining Second Layer to Qi Refining Fifth Layer is astonishing for a cultivator with a Five Spirit Roots Talent.

Yet, Jiang Ming’s achievements owed much to the ample cultivation resources, the fatigue-free amplification effects of the Cultivation Space, and cultivation experience.

“Moreover…”

With a thought, Jiang Ming transformed the Cultivation Field into the Outer Sect competition of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

His opponent materialized as a Qi Refining Sixth Layer disciple from the Outer Sect.

Forming hand seals, Jiang Ming advanced to meet him.

The radiance of magic lit up, unleashing the Wind Control Skill naturally.

A black blade appeared in Jiang Ming’s hand, the high-tier magical artifact black blade, perfectly suited for his current stage.

The slicing sound of the magical artifact, the scorching and freezing glow of magic, flickered across the Martial Field.

The two exchanged blows several rounds.

In the end, encircled by ice and fire, Jiang Ming launched his opponent flying, defeating him despite the one-level difference.

Jiang Ming gasped slightly.

The surroundings reverted to the cultivation environment.

Regrettably, he still couldn’t pass the simulated Outer Sect competition to unlock the cultivation grounds of the Inner Sect.

Currently, he lagged behind Zhu Chen of the second era in comparison.

Zhu Chen’s accomplishments in cultivation were acquired over a long time; despite the insights Jiang Ming inherited from Zhu Chen, he still fell short.

“However…” Jiang Ming’s gaze drifted towards a few light spots in the sea of clouds beyond the cliff.

“Zhu Chen didn’t have such conditions as I do now.”

With a thought, the surrounding space rapidly shifted.

A blue spot within the sea of clouds swiftly expanded, engulfing the entire world.

An icy, snowy realm appeared before Jiang Ming.

Before him stood a massive ice wall.

This was the cultivation treasure land of the Ice Flame Sect, the Extreme Ice Wall.

Even in the Ice Flame Sect, the cultivation time at the Extreme Ice Wall was greatly restricted for Inner Sect disciples each year. Outer Sect disciples needed considerable merits to enter, and those from the Outer Sect seldom stepped foot here.

Jiang Ming gazed at the vast ice wall, akin to a mirror, and unhesitatingly advanced, placing his hand upon it.

Mobilizing the Ice Flame Blazing Fire Technique, icy Qi surged within him, purifying the True Essence and concurrently enhancing Jiang Ming’s ice flame.

The density of True Essence incrementally increased, chilling intent spreading throughout Jiang Ming’s body, which he forcibly subdued while his eyebrows gradually formed a layer of frost.

After merely one day, Jiang Ming withdrew from the site.

The Simulation Points were depleting too quickly.

Subsequently, the world was once again engulfed in flames, as a crimson Great Buddha appeared before Jiang Ming.

The Great Buddha seemed lifelike, but upon closer inspection, it was discernible that it was composed of flames.

The Fire Buddha Forest of the Five Elements Temple.
