"Uncle, I'm back."

Ying Yan pushed the door open and hurriedly shouted.

"Yan'er is back?" Did anyone notice? "

The old man sitting on the bed coughed and asked weakly.

Ying Yan rushed to the bed, handed the Ghost Flower to the old man and said anxiously, "Uncle, I've got the Ghost Flower. I was very careful along the way and didn't attract too much attention. Furthermore, I met a person who gave me a pill. He said that it would be beneficial to your poison. Please take a look. "

Seeing the old man sizing up the pill, he added,

"I've already sent word back to the clan. They should send someone over in a few days."

The elder took the pill and examined it carefully, his eyes filled with shock.

"This is the Void Clearing Pill?" The Clear Void Pill which is known as the Non-toxic and Unfathomable Pill? "

Ying Yan scratched his head in confusion. He did not know what the Void Cleansing Pill was, but his intuition told him it would be useful, hence he brought it back with him. The old man looked at the pill thoughtfully. He was worried that someone had tampered with the pill, but the pain in his body caused him to lose time to think.

"Yan'er, you've met your benefactor."

The elderly man glanced at Ying Yan with a profound look, then took the Ghost Flower and swallowed it along with the pill.

Shi Mu spat out a mouthful of blood in a short moment. Then, his face became even paler.

"Uncle!"

The old man laughed out loud, clapped his hands and laughed, "Don't worry, I've almost cleared seventy percent of my poison. "Yan Er, do you know the person who gave you the pill?"

The old man sat on the bed and muttered: "Cang Ling Academy, Lu Ming? "Interesting."

Lu Ming sat on top of a giant boulder with his legs crossed. The Spirit Convergence Array beneath him was shining as it continuously absorbed spirit energy. More than a month had passed since his last visit to Qing Mountain Village, and Lu Ming had been frantically cultivating during this period.

Last time, after the Fatty Bai mentioned the 'Tidal Tribulations', he returned and delved deep into his sea of consciousness to ask the old dragon about the so-called 'Tides'. But when the Old Dragon kept asking those questions over and over again, Lu Ming always kept his mouth shut when he was in a hurry. After going back and forth a few times, Lu Ming had no way of dealing with it.

But when Old Dragon, Han Qingyi, and Fatty Bai's words were combined together, it always gave Lu Ming a feeling that a storm was coming. This forced him to train like a madman, for fear that one day he might even die without a clear explanation.

Fortunately, Lu Ming finally got a cultivation manual from the old dragon, so he didn't have to rely on the "Swallowing Whale Tactic" to cultivate it.

"Star Book", the name of the ancient book that Old Dragon had written for Lu Ming was only these two words, but the cultivation method contained within was actually extraordinary. Amongst all the cultivation scrolls that Lu Ming had seen before, either it was to cultivate body techniques or to cultivate techniques.

However, not only did the 'Star Book' contain these, the most important part was that it relied on the power of the stars to cultivate it! While the other cultivators could only bitterly look for the pitiful amount of spirit energy in the air to cultivate, Lu Ming had actually used two to three times, or even several times, to strengthen himself.

Most importantly, when the star force entered Lu Ming's body, it also continued to purify his flesh and blood. Under the constant washing, day after day, Lu Ming's body was even more thoroughly strengthened than if he had been using the Bone Tempering Pellet.

Lu Ming once gave it a try, where he swung both of his fists at full power, to the point where he could directly smash a cymbidium to pieces. It could be said that although Lu Ming still had the strength of his Sage Four Star, his destructive power was comparable to that of an average profound practitioner at the highest levels of the cymbidium!

Lu Ming opened his eyes and gently spat out a mouthful of impure Qi. He then stood up and took out the tiger knife, and began to practice his blade technique.

He had his own cultivation technique, but Lu Ming's attacks were extremely simple, with only the energy bullet and the three-legged cat's blade technique. The last time they fought Liu Feng, he had still used his own strength to smash Liu Feng to the ground. However, this had exposed Lu Ming's weakness in his sabresmanship.

As a result, Lu Ming had been working hard to cultivate his blade skills for the past month. Fortunately, the blade skills in the Bronze Great Hall were not lacking, giving Lu Ming ample room to choose.

During the routine five thousand swings, Lu Ming had only spent a short half an hour to finish the mission. Three strikes per second lasted half an hour on average. Even with Lu Ming's extraordinary physique, he was unable to bear it and he slowly recovered his strength.

When his stamina recovered, Lu Ming started another round of cultivation, to the point that he was almost crazed.

Lu Ming brandished his tiger knife, and the energy from his blade rushed towards the big tree in front of Lu Ming. The last saber Qi fiercely hacked at the tree trunk. The bark quietly fell off, revealing the inner part of the trunk.

"Haha, no wounds on the skin nor bones. My 'Windy Blade' is almost at the small success stage."

It was only when the sun was about to set and the sky was getting darker, did Lu Ming finally stop his cultivation and rushed back to the academy with his tired body.

Han Qingyi's reminder from before made him more cautious, and no one else had ever seen the Spirit Convergence Array. In order to not affect his cultivation, Lu Ming had to look for some remote corners in the Hundred Beast Mountain Range. The day when a mountain beast could chase Lu Ming away no longer existed. On the other hand, Lu Ming had become the great overlord of the mountain, and not many spirit beasts in the mountain could withstand his large blade.

Just as he walked to the entrance of a valley, Lu Ming became alert. Because the surroundings were completely quiet, not even the sound of a bird could be heard. It was evening, the time for the tired birds to return to their nests. This silence was not normal.

Lu Ming pulled out his tiger knife s, stopped his footsteps and looked around with his blade.

"Pa, pa, pa ~"

A round of applause rang out as two people came out from a dark corner. The one leading them was Liu Feng who had tried to kill Lu Ming multiple times!

"As expected of the freshman 'New King'! "This sense of vigilance is indeed quite good."

Liu Feng ridiculed, and when he said "Rookie King", he was stumped for words, as though he was clenching his teeth.

"Liu Feng? What do you want to do? "

Seeing that it was Liu Feng, Lu Ming's heart actually calmed down. Because he knew that Liu Feng was simply not his match.

Hearing Lu Ming's question, Liu Feng suddenly laughed nervously.

"What do you want me to do? Cut off one of my arms, and my position in the family will plummet. If it wasn't for Master, I might already be living on the streets. Furthermore, you have humiliated me repeatedly in front of everyone. What do you think I should do? "

Lu Ming coldly snorted, and said with disdain: "All of this is merely something you brought onto yourself."

"I brought this upon myself? If you don't touch Lan Ying, everything will be fine, but I don't even care to look for trouble with a normal person. But you shouldn't have, you shouldn't have touched Lan Ying! You have ruined my master's plans for so many years, as well as my hopes of reaching the heavens in a single step! "

Liu Feng's eyes were bloodshot, he took out his two blades and rushed towards Lu Ming.

"Lu Ming, today I want you dead!"
