“What’s Fang Ao’s background?”
“No matter what, the Divine Will Sect is the number one sect in the Heavenly
Southern Region. Why would they have to be afraid of something like that?”
Li Ming failed to understand just what was causing the sect to act in such a manner toward Fang Ao. While it was true that the Eastern Continent was not small and had numerous sects, and that it was normal for there to be a few extraordinary people, Li Ming simply found it hard to believe that Fang Ao would have any sort of outstanding background.
Even in terms of cultivation, his talent was merely average.
It was just that he had entered the Divine Will Sect a little earlier than them and somehow managed to become a member of the Law Enforcement Hall.
But even so, that should be far from enough to warrant him being so arrogant, right?
Li Ming was clearly puzzled, and Lu Lan understood that.
“In fact, in the Eastern Continent, the main forces not only consists of the sects, but also cultivation families.’
“Some of these cultivation families are incredibly powerful and have a long and deep history.”
“Fang Ao comes from such a family. At the same time, that family supplies the sect with a considerable amount of resources.’
“That is also why the sect elders mostly turn a blind eye to his matters.” After hearing Lu Lan’s explanation, Li Ming finally understood.
No matter where it was, resources and connections always remained important.
Li Ming originally thought that the cultivation world was solely built upon the simple law of the jungle, where strength reigned supreme. But now, it seemed that strength did not decide everything.
“Who cares.”
“If that kid dares to mess around again, I will completely disregard his identity and punish him.”
Although Li Ming understood that there was a powerful force backing Fang Ao, he did not take it to heart. After all, no matter how powerful a cultivation family was in the Eastern Continent, could they compare to a fifth-grade pill refiner?
Even if he killed Fang Ao, the sect would be able to easily weigh the pros and cons, and they would not do anything to him.
“Now that you are a consecrator, he won’t dare to act rashly. I believe that he might even avoid causing any trouble in the future.” When Lu Lan said that, Li Ming nodded slightly.
Doing so would be Fang Ao’s best option.
Otherwise, Li Ming would not let him off.
“By the way, how is your cultivation? Did the earth spirit pill help?”
Li Ming asked curiously. If he wanted to probe or sense someone else’s cultivation, he would have to do so either when the other party was displaying their cultivation or during a battle.
Otherwise, it was only by having a cultivation that was a major realm over the other party that someone could achieve such a feat.
Although Li Ming’s soul was powerful, that did not allow him to casually peer into another person’s cultivation base.
Moreover, the higher the cultivation level was, the more difficult it was for people of similar cultivation levels to sense another party’s actual cultivation level.
“Of course the earth spirit pill was useful, we’re already in the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.
“In fact, Senior Sister Lu has already even reached the perfected level of the foundation establishment realm.
Chen Qingke said happily. Li Ming was surprised to hear this.
Chen Qingke was very talented, and her cultivation speed was very fast. In just a year, she had advanced from being a mortal to where she was today. Someone like her was incredibly hard to come by.
As such, she was naturally valued greatly by the sect.
As for Lu Lan, she had entered the core of the sect earlier than them. Based on her cultivation speed, she was just average. However, this time, she still managed to push slightly ahead by having reached the perfected level of the foundation establishment realm.
This was quite surprising.
“Not bad, not bad. Since you have both broken through, we should go and enjoy a little trip.”
“I’ve made a lot of spirit stones by refining pills for the other consecrators. We can go to the market and have a look around.”
As soon as Li Ming said that, the love for shopping that was innate in women immediately surfaced on Lu Lan and Chen Qingke.
Even in the cultivation world, women remained mostly the same in terms of character.
With that, the three of them headed down the mountain.
The market outside the Divine Will Sect was very large. In the past, only disciples from the Heavenly Southern Region would come here often. However, things have clearly changed lately.
The changes were mostly due to the competition between the sect, which was also going to be held in the Divine Will Sect.
Hence, many people from other sects were currently staying in the market.
Consequentially, good and bad people mixed together in the market. With the appearance of many people from all kinds of sects, although the place was much more lively, it was also a lot more dangerous than before.
Recently, in the market, conflicts often arose.
The group of three quickly arrived at the market.
Seeing how lively the market was, they became excited.
Jewelry and clothes were obviously their targets.
Fortunately, Li Ming now had 200,000 Spirit Stones. In this market, as long as he did not buy anything related to cultivation, he naturally had more than enough.
“Senior sister, this dress looks good.”
“However, 100 spirit stones is a little too expensive.”
“This one’s not bad either.”
Whether it was Chen Qingke or Lu Lan, they were both beautiful and had impressive figures.
As they wandered around in the market, they naturally attracted the gazes of others.
Li Ming, who was following by their side, could feel hatred and jealousy directed at him in countless gazes.
He could not really do anything about it. However, it did not really affect them, so it did not matter.
Li Ming paid the bill for whatever the two women chose.
Not long after, they went into a spirit clothing shop in the market.
This shop specialized in making clothes for cultivators. These clothes were different from those of ordinary people.
Although the designs they had did not seem to be much different, the materials that were used in making the clothing were special.
Due to the materials used to make these clothing, they could withstand spiritual energy and remain undamaged in battle.
They could even be compared to magical artifacts in some cases!
Of course, their price was not cheap either.
“Senior sister, this set is not bad.”
“Senior brother, this set costs 15,000 spirit stones.”
Chen Qingke looked around for a long time. After a while, she and Lu Lan finally picked two pieces of clothing.
They were the same design and had the same price.
In total, they cost 30,000 spirit stones!
If this was in the sect, this was the whole reward for a mission!
Furthermore, that would be in the case of a relatively dangerous mission.
If it was in the past, Li Ming would not even dare to think about spending so many spirit stones for something like this.
However, things were different now. With so many spirit stones, he naturally did not have to worry about this bit of spending.
In any case, when the time came, he could casually refine a few more pills and earn back however many spirit stones he wanted.
“15,000 spirit stones is a little expensive, but…”
Before Li Ming could finish speaking, a voice came from behind him.
“It’s just several tens of thousands of spirit stones. Are all the disciples of the Divine Will Sect so poor?”
“If it’s merely worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, is it not the same as trash on the ground? Does something like that even need to be bought?” The voice was sharp and ear-piercing, and it carried a thick sense of mockery. The speaker quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
Li Ming turned around and saw three young men walking in. Each of them had a domineering expression on their face. Looking at their attire, it was obvious that they were all from the same sect.
Judging from their uniform, they seemed to be from the Three Gods Mountain in the Heavenly Northern Region!
Although the climate in the Heavenly Northern Region was not as good as the Heavenly Southern Region, and it did not seem as rich as the southern region, that did not mean that the sects that were based there were poor..
