Chapter 73: Marrow Cleansing Pill
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
While Fang Ao did speak with apparent unwillingness in his voice, he did have to acknowledge that Li Ming’s strength was more than enough for him to pass the assessment.
Many of the people present, including the consecrators and the elders, originally thought that they would get to see a display of the viability of body cultivation from Li Ming this time.
After all, he had already been in the body cultivation foundation establishment realm for quite some time now, and he had even reached the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm.
Li Ming’s performance in the secret mission last time was naturally highly valued by the consecrators.
In fact, that was why they had made an appearance and come to make sure that the assessment proceeded in a fair and just manner.
However, they were instead surprised by Li Ming’s performance today.
They no longer had any qualms with him cultivating his body, but even his qi cultivation had reached the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm.
Furthermore, he had managed to learn a low-grade mystic-tier magical art for his qi cultivation and was able to use that technique to suppress a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator!
The strength that he wielded was simply astonishing.
Li Ming’s talent allowed the consecrators to understand that when compared to Chen Qingke, Li Ming was also a rare genius!
However, only a very small number of disciples in the sect were able to see just how valuable Li Ming was.
After the assessment, the disciples dispersed.
When all the disciples had already left, the seventh consecrator frowned and looked at the two people beside him.
“What do you think of Li Ming?”
The fifth consecrator rubbed his chin and said, “This person cultivates both his body and qi at the same time.”
“The world is so big. Just because the Eastern Continent does not have something does not mean that the places beyond it also do not have it.”
“But there is no doubt that this child’s talent is no less than that of Chen Qingke.”
“I even feel that Divine Will Sect won’t be able to hold him for long.”
As soon as the fifth consecrator said that, the other person nodded repeatedly and said, “However, do not forget that Li Ming is a disciple of the Martial Hall.”
“Moreover, I’ve also done some investigations. It seems that the siphoning of spiritual qi that used to be present in the Martial Hall has disappeared. This change may have something to do with Li Ming.”
“Other than that, the low-grade mystic-tier technique he used just now is not in the scripture depository.”
As the three of them discussed amongst themselves, they clearly came to the agreement that Li Ming was not someone ordinary!
A mere Divine Will Sect may not be able to keep him in the future.
Nevertheless, the Divine Will Sect needed a successor and a future.
Among the many disciples, the ones with this talent to take up this role were Chen Qingke and Li Ming.
However, Li Mings situation was special. After weighing the pros and cons, they obviously believed that Chen Qingke was still much more suitable to take up that role.
“Then, what about Li Ming?” “How should we deal with him?”
The seventh consecrator asked.
Since he was not being groomed as a successor, there would naturally be some changes to be made.
“Everything can continue as they were before. He is still a disciple of Divine Will Sect.”
“Even if we cannot keep him, there is no need to turn him into our enemy.”
The other two nodded in agreement.
The assessment was over.
Those who passed the test naturally became regarded as genuine core disciples of the sect.
The resources they obtained were also much more than before.
Li Ming had just returned to the Martial Hall when he saw the resources allocated to him by the sect.
Moreover, Li Ming received a special token this time.
It signified that he was the representative of the Martial Hall.
Upon entering the core of the Divine Will Sect, the disciples of the Five Halls would obtain their own identity tokens, representing their respective halls.
This was also the representation of their status as core disciples.
However, this time, Li Ming was given not only resources, but also this identity token.
He was also given a name list.
On the name list were all the outer and inner sect disciples who were already in the process of cultivating their bodies.
It was obvious that the sect wanted the Martial Hall to play its role.
As the first person to reach the body cultivation foundation establishment realm since the sect’s establishment, Li Ming was clearly the only one who they assigned the position of managing all other body cultivators.
The following disciples would naturally use Li Ming as the standard for body cultivation.
If they succeeded, they would likely be accepted into the Martial Hall. “The sect really seems to enjoy exploiting free labor.”
Looking at it again, there was actually a token at the back of the name list, which signified that he had also become the elder of the Martial Hall.
This left Li Ming speechless.
The sect’s actions indeed left him somewhat helpless.
He was busy cultivating, so how could he have the spare time and energy to manage others?
Moreover, he was only in the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm, so how could he already act as an elder?
Even though he felt helpless, Li Ming knew that body cultivation was different from qi cultivation. The only way to make progress was to train hard.
There was not much need for guidance, and there were no shortcuts.
Although Li Ming had the entry system, he had been cultivating diligently for three years without slacking off.
Even with the entry system, he did not neglect his training at all.
However, it was fortunate that these disciples were still at the beginning of body cultivation. If they wanted to achieve results, they would require a lot of time.
In other words, Li Ming would not have to worry about them for the time being.
On the contrary, this identity brought him more resources and assistance.
This was especially the case in terms of spirit stones, which the sect actually gave him 30,000 of in one go!
In order to prevent them from being absorbed by the black stone again, Li Ming prepared two storage bags in advance.
The storage bags had an isolation effect, and the black stone could not absorb anything from inside it.
Of course, the black stone still had its uses for Li Ming, so Li Ming would not completely ignore it.
He reluctantly took out 10,000 spirit stones and gave them to the black stone, leaving the remaining 20,000 for his own use.
To cultivators, spirit stones not only acted as cultivation resources, but also as currency.
For example, going to the market, auctions, and most other exchanges all required spirit stones.
Even daily necessities, food, and lodging all required spirit stones.
“I got quite a lot of things this time.”
“This should be enough to last me until I break through!”
Li Ming was now in the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm. He was not far off from the late stage.
He was currently already very familiar with cultivating his body.
Although the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art could continue to bring Li Ming benefits, it could also improve his qi cultivation.
However, as his cultivation level increased, Li Ming’s physical body would soon no longer be able to bear it for much longer.
Even though he did have the help of his entries, and they did allow him to grow rapidly, his physical body was still a physical body. Although he had reached the foundation establishment realm, he was still unable to break free from the shackles of his mortal body.
If Li Ming wanted to break through this shackle, he would need a specific pill.
The marrow cleansing pill!
This type of pill required expensive medicinal ingredients, but its effects were extremely worth the trouble!
Even if it was a mortal without any talent, as long as they could withstand the pain brought by the marrow cleansing pill, they would become a dragon amongst men.
The transformation was akin to that of a fish leaping over the dragon gate!
Therefore, many wealthy families in the mortal world would spend a lot of money to buy marrow cleansing pills so that their children could enter the immortal sect and step into the world of cultivation.
Of course, marrow cleansing pills were also a very precious medicinal pill for cultivators.
It was the best pill that they could use to break the shackles of the physical body.
However, a person could only consume this pill once in their lifetime!
They only had one chance!
Immortal fate was ethereal to begin with.
For a pill to have the ability to give a person a completely different life and change their fate, this was already an incredible deal!
Although not everyone had the ability to withstand the pill and enjoy its effects, this was mostly only the case when it came to mortals. As a cultivator, it was virtually guaranteed that Li Ming would be able to easily break the shackles of his mortal body as long as he took the pill..
