Qi Ming got up from his bed early in the morning and left his residence. He found a quiet place and quietly took out the 'Detoxification Pill'. It was a black pill. Upon closer inspection, there were traces of pill patterns on it. It had the smell of medicine.
Item: Detoxification Pill
Introduction: An item from the Skeleton Mountain Bandits' game dungeon. It can resolve most poisonous Gu at the Qi Cultivation realm.
Immediately after, a pop-up window appeared beside the Detoxification Pill.
It roughly introduced the basic information about the 'Detoxification Pill'.
"Daoist White Bones is from the Demon Sect. His methods are definitely vicious. Last night, it was only because my potential was too low that I wasted his Blood Ghost Pill. He wanted to refine my soul into a lamp and my body into a blood corpse without a word."
Qi Ming thought to himself, "I guess the Blood Ghost Pill doesn't just consume lifespan. There must be a way to restrain it."
"Otherwise…"
"After those servant disciples consume the Blood Ghost Pill, their cultivation levels will increase and they will successfully join the outer sect. If they betray the Demon Sect then, Daoist White Bones would have wasted his efforts."
"The Detoxification Pill was dropped in the 'Skeleton Mountain Bandits' game dungeon. It will definitely drop again in the future. In my opinion, its value is average. Let's use it first."
Gulp!
Qi Ming consumed the Detoxification Pill. The pill melted the moment it entered his mouth. It slid down his throat and into his stomach. There was a hint of bitterness as the medicinal effects quickly spread throughout his body.
The next moment, Qi Ming's stomach churned and he felt nauseous. He could no longer control himself and spat out a black object wrapped in mucus.
It fell to the ground.
"This is…"
Qi Ming lowered his head, and what entered his eyes was a thumb-sized black Gu worm. It kept wriggling in the mucus like a centipede, and after jumping a few times, it died.
"It's completely black and shaped like a centipede with eight legs."
Qi Ming's scalp went numb. According to the original owner's memories, Qi Ming recognized this Gu worm, "Heart Devouring Gu. Daoist White Bones is indeed not a good person. He actually buried the Heart Devouring Gu into the Blood Ghost Pill."
"Gasp…"
Qi Ming took a while to calm down as he thought, "This world is too dangerous. I just transmigrated here and this happened. Luckily, I have the 'AFK Farming Software' and obtained the 'Detoxification Pill'. Otherwise, if the Heart Devouring Gu worm fused with my 'heart', even an immortal would find it hard to save me."
Clang!
Qi Ming took out the Skeleton Sword. The blade of the sword was long and slender, and its entire body was greenish-black. There was a picture of a skull carved on the hilt, and it didn't look like a weapon of the righteous path.
Still, this skeleton magic sword could cut through iron like mud. It was indeed a pretty good talisman treasure at the Qi Refinement realm.
Over the next few days, Qi Ming stayed in the D-Class Servant Quarters. Other than going to the canteen of the Servant Quarters every morning, afternoon, and evening, he would not go out again after eating.
Three days later, at noon.
Ding!
"After Afk Farming the Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art for three days, you comprehended heaven and earth and spiritual energy entered your body. Your cultivation progress has improved tremendously and successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refinement."
Buzz! Buzz!
Qi Ming immediately felt the changes in his body. The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art circulated on its own within his body. Vast spiritual qi poured into his body and into his dantian.
A second qi cyclone resembling a 'Green Cloud' appeared.
It was a cultivation breakthrough.
He reached the early-stage of the second level Qi Refinement realm.
"Okay." Qi Ming was elated.
One had to know, according to the cultivation content of the Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art, during the Qi Refinement realm, one could condense nine Green Cloud Cyclones in the dantian, which was why it was divided into nine levels.
First level of Qi Refinement was the lowest, and ninth level was the highest.
Further up, he needed to establish his Dao foundation and enter the Foundation Establishment realm.
On Green Cloud Peak, Foundation Establishment realm cultivators were all inner sect disciples.
They had a high status.
Ding!
"You have been farming in the 'Skeleton Mountain Bandits' game dungeon for three days. You have cleared the game dungeon three times. You have received: one Detoxification Pill, one Skeleton Robe, and thirty low-grade spirit stones."
The Skeleton Robe was a defensive Qi Refinement realm talisman treasure.
Ding!
"Detected that the host's cultivation level has broken through to the second level of Qi Refinement. The rewards from the dungeon of the first level of Qi Refinement will decrease. A new game dungeon can be opened. You can use two low-grade spirit stones as a ticket to enter the game dungeon."
"Activate the new game dungeon." Qi Ming said.
Ding!
"Activation successful. Entering the dungeon of the second level of Qi Refinement: Blood Fiend Cave."
The game screen appeared.
First, Qi Ming saw a pitch-black cave entrance. It was three meters in diameter and there were red lights appearing inside. After stepping in, he was greeted by a dense blood-colored aura.
Name: Blood Fiend Cave.
The disciples of the Demon Sect slaughtered ten villages and killed more than a thousand people. The corpses of more than a thousand people were filled with resentment and blood. They created the Blood Fiend Pool with the intention of refining the Dharma treasure, the Blood Fiend Banner.
However, at the last moment, the disciples of the Demon Sect failed in their refinement and suffered a backlash. They died and their Dao dissipated. Their souls were torn apart by the Blood Fiend Pool, but it remained and existed until now, becoming the current Blood Fiend Cave.
In the Blood Fiend Cave, thousands of villagers had transformed into Blood Fiend Ghosts after their deaths.
On this day, a 'Peerless Sword Immortal' descended. He held a Skeleton Sword and wore a Skeleton Robe. He used the Green Cloud Sword Technique. The sword beam was like a green cloud, ethereal but powerful.
The Blood Fiend Ghosts in the Blood Fiend Cave were all sent to the afterlife by this sword immortal.
"Continue AFK Farming and cultivate the Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art." Qi Ming said.
Ding!
"Detected that the host possesses 35 low-grade spirit stones. They can be used to charge spirit stones to increase the speed at which the AFK Farming goes. Every ten low-grade spirit stones can provide a 100% increase."
"Charge, charge…" Qi Ming said directly, "I'll charge 30 low-grade spirit stones."
Ding!
"Charged successfully. On the next day of AFK Farming cultivation, you will receive a 300% increase."
In the blink of an eye, a day later.
Ding!
"You have been AFK Farming the game dungeon in the 'Blood Fiend Cave' for a day. You have obtained: Blood Fiend Ghost Talisman, Blood Spirit Pill, and twenty low-grade spirit stones."
Ding!
"The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art has been cultivated for a day under the threefold enhancement. Your cultivation progress has increased greatly. You have already broken through to the mid-stage of the second level of Qi Refinement."
Buzz!
Indeed.
The cyclone in Qi Ming's body changed again. Spiritual qi gathered in his body and was quickly refined. It fused into the cyclone and doubled in size.
"The improvement speed is fast."
Qi Ming smiled. "I'll charge 20 low-grade spirit stones and continue cultivating the 'Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art'. I'll spend two low-grade spirit stones and enter the 'Blood Fiend Cave' game dungeon."
Swish!
Qi Ming took out the Blood Fiend Ghost Talisman.
It was a rectangular talisman completely blood black in color, covered in ghostly drawings.
Item: Blood Fiend Ghost Talisman
Introduction: After using it, you can summon a Blood Fiend Ghost at the third level of Qi Refinement.
"This is a good thing." Qi Ming was delighted.
Item: Blood Spirit Pill
Introduction: After consumption, it can heal injuries and recover blood vitality.
Clearly, the Blood Spirit Pill was a recovery potion.
"Not bad, not bad."
Qi Ming was even more satisfied. "Now, I'm facing two difficulties. The first is to face Daoist White Bones in a few days. The second is the Outer Sect Assessment."
"I definitely won't see Daoist White Bones again. It's also impossible for me to consume the Blood Ghost Pill. Anyway, the Heart Devouring Gu in my body is gone. As long as I hide in the servant quarters, Daoist White Bones won't be able to do anything to me."
"So, I just need to focus on preparing for the Outer Sect Assessment in a month."
"If Daoist White Bones insists on finding trouble with me, I just have to use AFK Farming every day and clear the game dungeons. I believe that my cultivation level will soon surpass Daoist White Bones."
"When the time comes…"
"There will be many ways to deal with him."
