Chapter 21 - Chen Family Fort

The night passed and the next day arrived.

It was close to noon.

Zhu Xiaoxian and the others bid farewell to Qi Ming one after another. They carried their bags and left the Green Cloud Peak reluctantly. At the same time, they ended their dream of cultivation.

Qi Ming nodded slightly and did not send him off.

"I'm the only one left."

Qi Ming looked around. The originally bustling 'dormitory' was already very empty. He felt a little lonely, but he quickly returned to normal. After collecting his thoughts, a notification of the 'AFK Farming Software' appeared in front of him.

Ding!

"Cultivated the Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art for one day with 170 times the effect. Reached the early-stage of the sixth level of Qi Refinement."

Buzz!

Thick spiritual qi gathered on the surface of Qi Ming's body. The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art circulated automatically and refined the spiritual qi into spirit energy. The fifth azure cloud cyclone in his dantian strengthened and reached its limit.

Boom!

Then, Qi Ming's entire body shook. More and more spiritual qi poured into his body, forming the sixth azure cloud cyclone. The spirit energy in his body quickly strengthened.

Not long after, his cultivation was completely consolidated.

"I'm in the sixth level Qi Refinement realm."

Qi Ming said, "It's indeed harder to improve the further I go. After AFK Farming for a day under the 170-fold amplification, I've only improved by one level."

If other disciples heard Qi Ming's words, they would probably curse. Qi Ming did not need to do anything and only used a day to easily break through to the sixth level of Qi Refinement.

If the other disciples wanted to break through, they would have to work hard to cultivate.

There was no comparison at all.

Ding!

"You have been AFK Farming in the Gloomy Swamp game dungeon for a day. You have cleared the game dungeon once. You have obtained: one Swamp Giant Lizard egg, 50 low-grade spirit stones."

Item: Swamp Giant Lizard Egg

Introduction: The demon beast egg produced by the Swamp Giant Lizard can be tried to hatch a demon beast, but the probability of success is not high. It has a high nutritional value and can be refined into pills or cooked.

"So this thing is for eating."

"I'll charge 1,000 low-grade spirit stones and practice the Wind Manipulation Sword Art."

Qi Ming thought of something. "Use six low-grade spirit stones to open a new game dungeon."

Ding!

"AFK Farming the Wind Manipulation Sword Art at a hundredfold the effect…"

...

Ding!

"Activation successful. Entering the dungeon of the sixth level Qi Refinement realm: Chen Family Fort."

...

Game scene.

The Chen Family Fort was a cultivation clan with cultivators. The clan was flourishing, and the Chen Family Head had a profound cultivation and was very strong. He had a brilliant reputation in the surrounding area.

Moreover, he had always been protecting the stability of the territory.

He had eliminated many bandits and demons.

To the commoners, that was the case, but in fact, the Chen Family Fort had secretly colluded with the bandits and demons. They had done countless evil deeds.

On this day, the 'game character' that Qi Ming had transformed into descended. He used the moonlight to storm into the Chen Family Fort and eliminate the entire fort by himself.

Moreover, he publicized the various crimes of the Chen Family Fort.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

Noon.

Ding!

"The Wind Manipulation Sword Art cultivated for a day under the enhancement of a hundred times. Its mastery realm increased continuously. From Beginner, it rose to Mastered, and finally Outstanding."

...

Ding!

"You have been AFK Farming in the 'Chen Family Fort' game dungeon for a day and completed it once. You have received: one Demon Slaying Sword of the Chen Clan, 60 low-grade spirit stones."

Item: Chen Clan's Demon Slaying Sword

Introduction: This is a talisman treasure sword refined by the Head of the 'Chen Family Fort', it is his life's best work. It has reached the top-grade and is very powerful. It contains the power to slay demons.

Clang!

With a thought, Qi Ming waved his right hand and took out the Chen Clan's Demon Slaying Sword. The shiny sword body was bright silver in color. There were wisps of blood threads on the sword body, and it was three fingers wide.

"Not bad, not bad."

Qi Ming was very satisfied. "It's indeed much stronger than the Skeleton Sword."

Buzz!

Qi Ming closed his eyes. All kinds of comprehensions regarding the Wind Manipulation Sword Art surged into his mind. The spiritual qi around his body flowed and transformed into wisps of sword qi.

A realization appeared in Qi Ming's mind, "The Green Cloud Sword Technique and the Wind Manipulation Sword Art re complementary. If both of them reach the Perfection realm, I can condense the Green Cloud Wind Manipulation Sword Intent."

"As expected of a top-grade Qi Refinement realm spell technique."

Qi Ming said, "It's very powerful."

In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day.

In the morning, the Outer Sect Assessment was about to begin.

Xiao Fan, Zhu Youde, Tang Bing, Qiao Yuxian, Zhang Wenxiu, Luo San, Chen Weiming, Wang Dafa, and Xu Chu arrived at the gathering place before Qi Ming.

"Senior Brother Qi."

Qiao Yuxian waved at Qi Ming, her fair arms waving as her exquisite face was filled with a friendly smile. "Come quickly, we're about to set off."

Qi Ming nodded and quickly walked over.

However, Qi Ming did not see Elder Feng. The person who brought them to the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm was the real First Elder of the Green Cloud Peak's servant quarters. He had just taken up the position.

This Servant Quarters' First Elder had a head of white hair and was old. His face was covered in wrinkles and age spots, "Qi Ming, you're the only one left."

"Thank you for waiting, First Elder." Qi Ming bowed.

The First Elder nodded, "Call me Xu Rong."

"I don't dare to cross the line."

Buzz!

Xu Rong did not speak further. With a wave of his right hand, a ship flew out from his sleeve and floated in front of them.

The ship that was originally only the size of a palm actually became ten meters long and three meters wide. Its entire body was ancient in color, and one could see profound formation patterns interweaving.

Moreover, a faint light screen enveloped him.

"This is…" Qi Ming was a little surprised.

"This is the Dharma Ship."

Xu Rong explained to Qi Ming and the others, "It is one of the artifacts that is mainly used for traveling. It's very fast. To go to the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm, you need to ride a Dharma Ship."

Qi Ming and the others nodded.

"Come up." Xu Rong boarded the ship first, "This Dharma Ship is not mine. It was specially prepared to bring you to the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm. After this Outer Sect Assessment, it has to be returned."

Qi Ming and the others looked at each other before jumping onto the Dharma Ship one after another. It lit up as Xu Rong formed a few hand seals and injected spiritual qi into it.

"Stand firm." Xu Rong reminded them.

Swoosh!!!

The next moment, the Dharma Ship transformed into a stream of light that shot into the sky. It flew into the sky and even entered the clouds.

It had already disappeared.

"Qi Ming!"

After a moment, Cao Yunhai slowly walked out from the shadows not far away. Resentment and malice appeared on his face. Beside him stood a middle-aged man who looked a little similar to him.

This middle-aged man was Cao Yunhai's older brother, Cao Jinxiu.

Cao Jinxiu clasped his hands behind his back with a calm gaze as he reprimanded, "You were too impulsive this time. Since the competition has already ended, there's really no need to launch a sneak attack."

"Brother!" Cao Yunhai gritted his teeth, "He cut off one of my arms."

Cao Jinxiu said, "Don't worry, you're my younger brother, so I'll seek justice for you in this matter. I've already contacted a good friend of mine at the Golden Root Peak yesterday. He's just like me and is about to advance to the inner sect. I believe he will make sure that Qi Ming learns an unforgettable lesson."

"It's best if you cripple his cultivation and hand him to me. I'll make him beg for death." Cao Yunhai said viciously.
