Jiang Ming's condition remained largely unchanged. There was no obvious physical change after he consumed the human spiritual fruit, but he could clearly sense the inner change.

Previously, he had accumulated 80 years of cultivation. Now that he had obtained cultivation for another 140 years, he had cultivation for more than two centuries. That's a scary number.

Aside from the five Leaves of Brightening Tea, he had also obtained a special ability, the Great Akasa Step. Based on its name, it seemed like it was complementing the Sword Qi Without the Great Akasa Shape.

“Should I try to break through now?” Jiang Ming considered it for a moment before he rejected the idea.

It's been almost a year. When the time came, he would accumulate more years of cultivation. At that time, he would be able to stabilize his cultivation base.

Jiang Ming looked at the ground, but he did not cultivate it. After all, he had already harvested seven Mu plants. Although he was not too tired, he wanted to rest.

Jiang Ming returned to the roof and picked up the teapot. With a wave of his hand, a drop of water flowed into the pot. Then, he placed the three leaves his master had given him into the pot. After putting the teapot on the table, he put his two palms together. With that, the water in the pot heats up quickly. The sound of bubbling water sounded faintly in the air immediately after.

After pouring himself a cup of tea, he lay down on the rattan chair. The mountain wind caressed his face as he looked at the clouds flowing in the sky. The mountains in front of him seemed to live a life without any burden in his eyes.

“It would be better if I have some waiters to massage me,” murmured Jiang Ming on himself, “Will be perfect if I have a phone and projector as well!”

Jiang Ming sighed. Nothing is truly perfect in life.

He took two sips from the teacup before he waved his hand. A book appeared in his hand, and he began to read it.

…

Zhiyang Peak.

After Yue Cheng returned to his Peak, he immediately went to his study. His brows furrowed as he thought about working.

“Who killed Young Brother Zuo Han? He was killed with a single strike; he could not even fight back or call for help. How powerful is the killer? Ever since he went to Chuyang Peak, there had been no Elders around except that fool, Gu Hai. Which sect expert had a reason to kill him? Young Brother Zuo Han had always been humble so he had no enemies in the sect. Is his identity revealed? However, if he were to be revealed, he should have been arrested and interrogated. It really gives me a headache.”

Yue Cheng massaged his temple. When he recalled Zi Linglong's appearance today, he was filled with shock and disbelief again. “He's an peerless cultivator. He was comparable to a God Body or a Sacred Body. If she was in the Qingyun Sect, she would be a Holy Princess. He has a very bright future. He was only 11 years old so his mind was still fickle. There would be great benefits if I carried it under my wing. How can I recruit him to my side? ”

Yue Cheng began to think of a way to recruit Zi Linglong. In the end, he decided to wait.

“This is a crucial time. It's better for me not to act for now. I should focus on investigating the Grand Elder who is cultivating sword techniques. With that, I will be able to find out if one of them is the killer. ”

After a while, Yue Cheng finally decided to stop thinking about this matter for now.

…

Next day.

The Taiyang Peak.

Zi Linglong had learned a lot about his phoenix bloodline from the Sect Master. He was also given books to read; they were about developing the strength of his lineage. He had asked to be taken to the Sun Pit after that.

The Sun Pit is a spiritual spring. The sect experts gathered natural spiritual qi and qi from the ley lines in the area using the Great Formation. Then, they added various spiritual medicines to build this holy spring. In this place, cultivators could accelerate their cultivation and improve their body constitution. It was an amazing place.

The reason Zi Linglong decided to reveal his talent and strength was so that he could come to this place.

“Linglong, you should not be in a hurry when it comes to cultivation. You have great potential, but you are still young. You need to gain more experience. Try to stay in the Golden Core Realm a little longer and enter extreme conditions. If you can reach the fifth or sixth extreme, it will be of great help in the future if you want to be immortal or long-lived .. “Master Sect advises Linglong tirelessly in a friendly way.

“Excellent absorption rate!” Sect Master's eyes twinkled when he saw this.

Gu Hai asked worriedly, “Will he be okay?”

“I will be here if anything happens,” said Sect Master assured, “In addition, there are other Elders here as well. We'll find out soon if anything goes wrong. Don't worry.”

Gu Hai could only nod. Then, he asked again, “Will spring dry up if he continues like this?”

“If he does that, I will be very happy,” replied the Sect Master.

However, he did not know that he could not laugh even if he wanted to when he saw what happened later.

…

Nightfall.

Jiang Ming was still on the roof. He watched the stars as he drank the tea he brewed.

A gust of strong wind blew past the mountains, but it became a cool breeze after passing through the Formation. It feels like he's being petted.

At this moment, Jiang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. “It's time!”

[Dig! Goodbye to Chuyang Peak for a year and do at least one menial task every day. Gifts: Cultivation for 100 years, ten Brightening Tea Leaves, three Shadowless Needles, and five Brightening Stones]

Jiang Ming smiled when he heard the system notification. “This is some generous gift.”

After all, 100 years of cultivation was precious. The Ten Lives of Enlightening Tea are also useful. Even the Sect Master would fight for something like this.

[Dig! Shadowless Needle: Invisible when in use. It can be used to kill someone secretly. Cannot be reused. Comparable to high-grade items]

“Comparable with high-grade items?” Jiang Ming took a sharp breath. Even Gu Hai did not have anything of this class. He was sure Gu Hai, First Chair, only had two low-grade items.

“It is unfortunate that they cannot be reused. However, they would be useful since they could kill secretly. If I have no choice but to move in the future, I will have other options available to me .. “

Jiang Ming held the Shadowless Needle carefully in his hand after he took it out.

‘I have to try and master how to use it first ..’

It is not difficult to master how to use needles. With a needle, he was confident of going against the Dao Seed expert. He was sure he could even kill them.

‘Not bad. Not bad at all!’

Jiang Ming was in a good mood as he took out the Enlightenment Stone.

[Dig! Lightening Stone: after activation, the user's mind will fuse with nature. Users will be able to understand how the world works and gain insight into the laws of the world. It only lasted for an hour]

The effect is somewhat similar to a meditative state. He was more happy to accept this compared to the other items. It was like an enhanced version of the Brightening Tea Leaf.

“Did the system give me this because I was too slow in learning spells and mastering special abilities?” Jiang Ming wondered loudly as he got up and stretched his limbs.

He raised his hand and grabbed at the thin air, acting as if he had the universe in his hand. “When I master the knowledge of the cycles of the sun and moon, I will turn the sky into my field!”

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the ten Mu farmlands with a smile on his face. He had a long road ahead of him to achieve his goal.

…

When Jiang Ming finally returned to his room, he sat cross-legged on his bed.

He knew it was time for him to achieve a breakthrough.
