Chapter 51: Looking for Trouble?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the courtyard, after spending over an hour trying out the magical art, a large cauldron finally appeared on Li Ming’s hand. He had finally managed to condense the outline of a cauldron!
Relying on his powerful supreme soul and the toughness of his body, Li Ming had finally done it.
According to the description of the Cauldron Transformation Art, the bronze cauldron that the cultivator condenses would increase in strength with the cultivation of the cultivator, and the patterns that would emerge on the cauldron were unique to the cultivator.
An especially important thing to take note of was that this cauldron could carry characteristics of the cultivator as well.
For example, if the cultivator were a swordsman, then the cauldron would shape up to be sharp and agile.
Those who were proficient in talismans would also have other uses for the cauldron.
Even so, this was only Li Ming’s first time condensing it.
The patterns on the cauldron were thus still incomplete.
With the spiritual qi and the supreme soul that Li Ming had, it was really not that difficult to condense it, but that did not immediately mean that he would be familiar with the magical art.
Any magical art would need the cultivator who was using it to repeatedly practice and polish the way by which they used it. With more time and practice, their usage of the magical art would naturally become better.
Li Ming was in no hurry, and he did not beat himself up even though it took a little longer than it should have for him to condense the cauldron.
After repeated practice, Li Ming was soon able to condense the cauldron at an extremely fast speed!
After resting in the Martial Hall for a night, Li Ming left the valley the next morning.
Although he had already entered the core of the Divine Will Sect and become an elite disciple, he was still a disciple of the Divine Will Sect, so he still had to accept missions and exchange merit points for cultivation resources and spirit stones that he required.
Of course, Li Ming was not in a hurry to complete any missions.
He still had a lot of resources from when the sect had sent him some.
Moreover, Li Ming naturally did not have as great of a need for these resources that were for qi cultivation.
In actuality, the main purpose of this trip was to go to the Spirit Will Hall and learn from Chen Qingke.
It was also, in part, to simply pay a visit to her.
After all, she had always been the one who took the initiative to come over to his place in the past. This time, he felt like switching the roles for once.
In the sect, Li Ming was also the only one who was quite close to her.
In the Spirit Will Hall.
As the main hall of the Divine Will Sect, this place was also the place with the most elite disciples.
It was located on the main peak, the Heavenly Will Peak.
As a core disciple, he could naturally enter and exit this area as he pleased.
When Li Ming walked in with the token in his hand, he saw that there were indeed many disciples in the Spirit Will Hall.
Moreover, they were all at the foundation establishment realm!
It could be said to be a showcase of prosperity!
For the Divine Will Sect to be able to hold down the fort and become the number one sect in the Heavenly Southern Region, their strength and foundation were clearly immeasurable.
“Tsk tsk, as expected of the Spirit Will Hall. This is simply a world of difference from my Martial Hall!”
“Why do I feel like I’ve been exiled after the inner sect grand competition?”
“The great elder isn’t just playing with me, is he?”
The land of the Spirit Will Hall was covered with exquisite and magnificent pavilions that were pleasant to the eye.
On the other hand, in the Martial Hall, the only thing that could be found there was a small valley with some dilapidated ruins.
Due to the scarcity of spiritual qi in the area, it was difficult to even find any birds and beasts.
The two places were almost comparable to heaven and earth.
This was why Li Ming was suspecting the great elder to have fooled him.
“Junior Brother Li Ming?”
“You joined the Spirit Will Hall as well?”
Just as Li Ming was looking around, a familiar voice came from behind him.
He turned around and saw Lu Lan, whom he had interacted with before.
“Senior Sister Lu, are you from the Spirit Will Hall?”
Seeing Lu Lan walk over, Li Ming greeted her out of courtesy.
“That’s right.” Lu Lan nodded.
“I watched the last inner sect grand competition. I must say, Junior Brother Li
Ming, you had an amazing performance.”
“I was still thinking about what arrangements the sect would make for Junior Brother Li Ming seeing as you are the first cultivator to reach the foundation establishment realm through body cultivation in the sect. I did not expect them to have you join the Spirit Will Hall.”
“It seems that the sect still wants Junior Brother Li Ming to focus on qi cultivation.”
Hearing Lu Lan’s words, Li Ming smiled awkwardly.
“Senior Sister Lu, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not from the Spirit Will Hall.””
“I was arranged to go to the Martial Hall. I came here to look for Chen Qingke and visit her at the same time.”
Li Ming said bluntly without hiding anything. After all, they were both disciples of the same sect.
“Martial Hall?”
“Does our sect have such a hall?”
Obviously, Lu Lan had no idea about what the Martial Hall that Li Ming had mentioned even was.
However, Lu Lan did not think too much about it. When she found out that Li Ming was looking for someone, she immediately led the way for him.
“Junior Brother Li Ming, follow me.”
“The Spirit Will Hall is quite big. You probably are not familiar with the place, so it will be rather difficult for you to find people.”
Li Ming followed Lu Lan. Along the way, he listened to Lu Lan’s introduction and acquired a general understanding of the Spirit Will Hall.
At the same time, he also learned about Chen Qingke’s situation.
Chen Qingke’s performance in the inner sect grand competition was very eye-catching!
It was rare for someone to have such great talent and reach the foundation establishment realm in just one year after joining the sect.
Naturally, after entering the Spirit Will Hall, she was highly regarded.
She was also arranged to stay in a cave abode filled with spiritual qi.
Moreover, the elder of the Spirit Will Hall directly accepted Chen Qingke as his last disciple, his closed-door disciple!
With this, her status could be said to have risen with the tide.
Under Lu Lan’s lead, they soon arrived at Chen Qingke’s cave.
“Junior Sister Chen, Junior Brother Li Ming is here to see you.”
As Lu Lan spoke, Li Ming looked around. There were actually quite a number of treasure chests placed outside the cave abode.
Just from the spiritual qi being emitted from these treasure chests, it could be inferred that these were all resources for cultivation.
He did not expect the sect to value Chen Qingke this greatly.
The resources given to her were twice as much as his.
However, after thinking about it, it made sense. Chen Qingke’s talent in qi cultivation far exceeded his.
It was normal for her to receive such treatment.
“Senior brother! ”
“You finally came to see me!”
Inside the cave, when Chen Qingke heard Lu Lan, she hurried out. As soon as she exited her cave abode, she looked at Li Ming with joy. “Junior sister, we only haven’t seen each other for a day.”
“It looks like you’re doing pretty well in the Spirit Will Hall.”
Li Ming smiled. Every time this girl saw him, she always looked happy.
She was so highly regarded in the sect that there really was no need for him to worry about her.
Moreover, this girl was no weakling.
She could even beat those at the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm while only being at the early stage.
Now that she had much more resources, her cultivation would only rise even faster.
“Hmph, of course, I’m now the hall elder’s closed-door disciple.”
“Senior Brother, where did you go? I asked around, but nobody knows where you went.”
“The great elder isn’t in the sect either, so I had no idea where you went.”
Chen Qingke asked worriedly.
“I’m in the Martial Hall. Don’t worry, my status isn’t low. After all, I’m the only one in that hall.”
Li Ming said with a smile. When he said this, even Lu Lan was surprised.
Alone?
There was actually such a place in the sect?
This was the first time she had heard of it.
“Alone? Senior brother, isn’t that no different from being exiled? If you’re alone, then no one is going to guide you in your cultivation. The sect has gone too far!”
“I’m going to go and speak with the elders!”
After saying that, Chen Qingke turned to look for the elders, but Li Ming grabbed her before she could leave.
“Junior sister, don’t mess around.”
“The sect has its own plans. Besides, I’m a body cultivator. Who can I find to guide me?”
“Moreover, your talent in qi cultivation is not bad. If there are things I don’t know, can’t I just come and ask you?” Li Ming quickly comforted her.
He was afraid that Chen Qingke would blow things up.
“Martial Hall?”
“I did not expect that there would still be people going to that kind of place.” “Junior Sister Chen, you’re right. That place is no different from exile.”
Just as Li Ming finished speaking, a loud voice sounded from behind him.
The three of them turned to look, then Lu Lan and Chen Qingke’s expressions instantly turned ugly.
From their expressions, the person who came was obviously not a good person.
Li Ming sized him up. Judging from his aura, this person was at the foundation establishment realm, but he was unsure as to what level he had reached. “Senior Brother Fang Ao, what are you doing here?”
Seeing the young man walking over, Lu Lan immediately stood in front of Li Ming.
Obviously, Lu Lan did not like Fang Ao either.
Looking at Lu Lan’s stance, Fang Ao immediately chuckled and said, “Junior
Sister Lu, I’m just here to see if there’s anything wrong with Junior Sister
Chen’s cultivation and want to help.”
“What’s wrong with helping each other in the sect?”
“We’re all of the same sect, is it not good for us to be united?”
Fang Ao’s words sounded reasonable, but something seemed off.
Li Ming also noticed that Lu Lan and Chen Qingke both had disgusted expressions on their faces.
Even Chen Qingke, who had just arrived a day ago, had obviously heard of this person.
Although Lu Lan was disgusted by Fang Ao’s words, she did not respond directly.
After all, he had said that he had come here looking for Chen Qingke.
However, Fang Ao clearly did not take them seriously.
Eventually, his gaze fell on Li Ming.
“You’re that Li Ming who reached the foundation establishment realm in body cultivation? Why? Are you that trash at qi cultivation and are now planning to rely on Junior Sister Chen as a backer?”
“I heard that when you were in the inner sect, you often relied on Junior Sister Chen to keep your place.. Seriously, a grown man actually stood at the back and made a woman fight for him?”
