Chapter 5 - Spirit Pet, Baby Bat Demon

Qi Ming waited nervously for the entire night. He did not even sleep well, afraid that Daoist White Bones would ambush him while he was sleeping.

The night passed but nothing happened.

Qi Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, 'Daoist White Bones didn't come to find me last night. I still have some time. As long as I'm given enough time, I'll definitely be able to catch up to Daoist White Bones' cultivation level.'

'That's good. It's probably because my cultivation level is too low, so I'm not eye-catching, so Daoist White Bones didn't pay too much attention to me. Otherwise, it would really be troublesome.'

Honestly, as a disciple of the Demon Sect, Daoist White Bones was able to enter the Servant Quarters at the foot of the Green Cloud Peak without being discovered by the elders.

Qi Ming was already guessing if the upper echelons of Green Cloud Peak also had people from the Demon Sect infiltrating. There was probably more than one. Otherwise, Daoist White Bones would not dare to be so brazen.

"I still have to be careful." Qi Ming kept reminding himself.

At noon, after lunch.

Ding!

"You had been AFK Farming for a day in the game dungeon of the 'Bat Demon Cave Abode'. You have cleared the game dungeon once. You have obtained: one Baby Bat Demon and thirty low-grade spirit stones."

At the same time, Qi Ming saw the scene of clearing the game dungeon.

At the periphery of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there was a mountain of bats.

The Bat Mountain was occupied by a Greater Bat Demon. It stayed in the cave at the waist of the mountain. The Bat Demon led more than a thousand bats to form the Bat Demon Cave Abode.

On this day, it was a sunny day.

A 'Powerful Swordsman' had traveled here and discovered Bat Mountain. He had also heard that children in the village had been captured by the Bat Demon Cave Abode. It was unknown if they were still alive.

Thus…

This powerful swordsman entered the Bat Demon's cave abode alone. The cave was dark, but there were more than a thousand bats. There was a stench.

Clang! Clang! Clang!!!

The bats flew and passed through the cave, attacking the powerful swordsman. This swordsman held a Skeleton Sword and circulated his spirit energy. The Green Cloud Sword Technique was used in succession. Sword flashes appeared and the bats were cut down.

Finally, the three-meter-long Greater Bat Demon appeared.

A huge battle erupted between the two sides.

The powerful swordsman killed the Greater Bat Demon at the price of being severely injured.

The game dungeon was completed successfully.

Item: Baby Bat Demon

Introduction: This is a newly born spirit pet. It can be bound by blood and become a pet. Its potential is average. It can only reach the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. It will be very difficult to advance in the future.

"Spirit pet."

Qi Ming was delighted. "This is great. According to the memories of the 'original owner', a spirit pet is not something that ordinary people can obtain. It's priceless. If you spend spirit stones to buy it, it will cost at least a thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Swish!

Qi Ming took out the Baby Bat Demon . It was a furry black bat. It looked cute and adorable. It had not opened its eyes and was sleeping quietly in Qi Ming's palm.

"I'll use blood to contract it."

Qi Ming bit his thumb and a drop of blood dripped out. It landed on the Baby Bat Demon's body and was immediately absorbed.

Somehow, Qi Ming felt that he had a connection with this 'Baby Bat Demon '. He could clearly sense its state.

For now, the Baby Bat Demon was only at the first level Qi Refinement realm and was very weak.

Ding!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Spirit Pet: Baby Bat Demon'. You can activate One-Button AFK Farming. There will be no need to nurture it. It will automatically grow and you will be free from trouble forever."

Qi Ming was very satisfied, "Activate it."

Ding!

"Successful activation. AFK Farming of 'Spirit Pet: Baby Bat Demon' has been activated. It is estimated that it will cross the infant stage in seven days and reach the growth stage."

Qi Ming was a little surprised at that speed.

Ding!

"Prompt: Ordinary spirit pets have low potential and cannot break through their limits. Therefore, their growth speed is faster."

"I see." Qi Ming nodded.

Clearly, the AFK Farming Software developed by Qi Ming had changed a little because of this world.

Ding!

"The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art has been cultivated for a day under the tenfold enhancement. Your cultivation progress has improved tremendously. You have already broken through to the mid-stage of the third level of Qi Refinement."

The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art cultivated on its own.

The spiritual qi poured into Qi Ming's body and quickly refined into spirit energy. It integrated into the third cyclone of the green cloud and became significantly larger.

"Continue."

Qi Ming took a deep breath and charged another 100 low-grade spirit stones, allowing the 'Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art' to be in a state of tenfold enhancement.

At the same time, he then used three inferior-grade spirit stones to enter the Bat Demon Cave Abode.

Time passed, in the blink of an eye, two days later.

He had been AFK Farming in the Bat Demon Cave Abode for two consecutive days. After clearing two game dungeons, he had only obtained 30 low-grade spirit stones and nothing else.

Qi Ming's' Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art had been AFK Farming for two consecutive days under the tenfold increase in speed. His cultivation level had increased continuously. Right now, he was about to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement.

Such speed was almost like flying.

Qi Ming sat cross-legged. The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art circulated on its own. A spiritual qi vortex appeared above Qi Ming's head. The surrounding spiritual qi surged into his body and was quickly refined.

Boom!

A rumble came from within him.

The conditions were met and the fourth green cloud cyclone condensed in his dantian.

It was a cultivation breakthrough.

Qi Ming had reached the early-stage of the fourth level of Qi Refinement.

"I'm already at the fourth level of the Qi Refinement realm."

Qi Ming consolidated his cultivation base and felt the changes in his body. The spirit energy in his body surged and was extremely abundant. His current strength had increased quite a bit.

However…

Although Qi Ming's cultivation level had increased, he had very few means to deal with enemies. He only had one Green Cloud Sword Technique and it was only at the beginner level.

If he wanted to go further on the path of cultivation, he would need to cultivate methods to deal with enemies.

Ding!

"Detected that the host's cultivation base has broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement. The rewards from the three game dungeons between the first level of Qi Refinement and the third level of Qi Refinement will be greatly reduced. The host will be able to activate a new dungeon and use four low-grade spirit stones as the entrance ticket."

"Activate." Qi Ming said.

Ding!

"Activation successful. Enter the game dungeon of the fourth level Qi Refinement realm: Heavenly Eagle Cult Headquarters."

Another game scene appeared vividly before him.

Although the Heavenly Eagle Cult was a sect of the pugilistic world, they were very powerful. Furthermore, they were a Demon Cult that had done many evil deeds. The hands of the Heavenly Eagle Cult members were stained with the blood of countless innocent people.

Qi Ming transformed into a game character. He was a 'Peerless Swordsman' who acted heroically. After learning about the ugly matters of the Heavenly Eagle Cult, the chivalrous and courageous peerless swordsman found the headquarters of the Heavenly Eagle Cult. He took advantage of the darkness and charged into the headquarters with a Skeleton Sword in hand.

This was a bloodbath.

Screams, roars, sounds of battle…

It rang for an entire day and night.

Finally, all sound disappeared.

The Heavenly Eagle Cult headquarters was completely wiped out.

There was only one peerless swordsman whose body was dyed red with blood. He held a sword and walked out with firm steps.

Unknowingly, another four days passed.

The third meeting every seven days was about to arrive.

On this day, at noon.

Ding!

"Congratulations, host. Your Spirit Pet: Baby Bat Demon has been AFK Farming for seven consecutive days. Because it doesn't have any charged spirit stones, its growth is very ordinary. It doesn't have any special characteristics. However, it still entered its growth stage and has already grown into a Bat Demon."

Qi Ming received a notification.

"It has entered the growth stage." Qi Ming said happily.

After four days, Qi Ming's cultivation level had already risen to the late-stage of the fourth level Qi Refinement realm.

This was because in the next few days, Qi Ming did not have many spirit stones left in his hands. The speed at which he could increase his cultivation level was only four times faster.

In addition, the further he progressed in his cultivation level, the harder it became to increase his cultivation level. Naturally, he could not reach the fifth level Qi Refinement realm.

But in the game dungeon, Qi Ming still obtained many good things.

Now, the Baby Bat Demon had also entered the growth stage and became a Bat Demon.
