He saw that his right leg was red and swollen just like a steamed bun. Not to mention walking, even touching it lightly caused him a lot of pain.

He had truly been no different from a greedy snake swallowing an elephant! Li Ming sighed. One step at a time, he made his way out of the stone room in a strange manner.

He had spent a huge sum of money to exchange for this yin fire bead.

As for the damage to his divine soul, that was easy to deal with. The

Soul-Refining Art was a technique specialized in treating soul damage.

Of greater concern were his meridians, which had also suffered some damage. However, he could heal them back up by going to the pill room and asking for some spirit pills. Fortunately, although such injuries were not minor injuries to cultivators, they were common. Therefore, the sect did not lack recovery pills for such injuries.

When he entered his courtyard, he was stunned.

A huge white bird was standing on the roof of his house. It had an arrogant look on its face, similar to that of a noble princess who was dressing up in front of a mirror.

Because he had made the greatest contribution in the battle against the demons, the sect rewarded him with a spirit beast and over 10,000 square meters of spiritual fields.

This was a considerable amount of wealth.

Li Ming only roughly knew the location of the spirit fields and did not have time to take care of it for the time being.

The East Hall was completely silent. Everyone was pale, and some of them even had faint wounds on their bodies.

Eighth Elder Yuan Qing’s body was lying quietly in front of them. His face was green, and there was an indescribable strangeness about him.

Yun Xia’s eyes were currently dim. She had always been calm, but she could not help but feel a little frightened right now. They had taken turns scouring the area to find any clues.

But now, they had actually been ambushed.

This was definitely a premeditated ambush, and the target of the ambush was Elder Yuan Qing.

There were too many enemies, and all of them were wearing masks. Their cultivation was very high, and their formation was very organized.

Elder Yuan Qing had been slain by them in just a few moves. If it was not for Yun Xia throwing out a lightning talisman that she had just refined without a second thought, she probably would not have survived.

It was thanks to that talisman that she was able to survive.

“Who are they?” The sect master’s face was dark. As the true master of the Divine Will Sect, someone actually dared to attack one of her elders in his own territory. This was an outright humiliation to her authority.

“I’m not sure either. They did not use flying swords, but rather techniques of the five elements. Moreover, the magic formations that they had set up were quite exquisite.”

“Techniques of the five elements?” The great elder raised his head and revealed a somewhat surprised expression.

“Most of the people who use the spell techniques of the five elements are loose cultivators. It’s not easy to find them.”

“I’m afraid so.

Although five-elements spell techniques were difficult to collect, they could still be bought on the market. If one wanted to collect them, it was definitely possible.

“They had come here for Elder Yuan! In that case, they should have had a motive. Why did they target him?”

Everyone present was a wily old fox and naturally understood this point. “It appears that they do wish for us not to chase the matters of the night during the day!”

“That’s right, this is very interesting.” The great elder said, “It seems that there is someone who wants to take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters. They could not allow us to find that demon first and decided to hinder us from doing so.”

“That demon?” Yun Xia was stunned. “They are that demon’s accomplices!”

Everyone looked at each other and their expressions became solemn. It was a group of people who had ambushed them. Previously, they had thought that they were only facing a seriously injured lone demon, so they were not too worried.

In their opinion, with the strength that they had as golden core realm experts, was it not but a simple task to deal with a seriously injured demon?

No one had expected the situation to be so complicated. The news of the white star’s appearance quickly spread throughout the entire world, and countless martial artists who wanted to kill monsters and demons would flock to it.

A heavily-injured high-level demon was equivalent to countless crystals and magical treasures!

The third elder shouted angrily, “The loose cultivators are colluding with demons!”

The great elder raised his head and said, “Can it not be a sect?”

As soon as he said that, the entire hall fell silent.

It was drizzling outside. Looking at the hazy mountains through the window, Li Ming’s mood was still a little low.

Li Ming stood in the stone room and slowly opened his eyes. His Soul-Refining Art had not improved much. There was still a long way to go before he could reach three breaths.

With a thought, he entered his sea of consciousness.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at a stone tablet that had suddenly appeared in his divine sense in disbelief. There were words carved on the stone tablet!

Why was there a stone tablet here? That’s incredibly bizarre!

There were some words carved on the stone tablet. He had vaguely seen them before, but he had never seen them clearly.

But this time, he could see them! He quickly approached it, wanting to see what was written on the stone tablet. However, it did not take long for him to be stunned.

The words [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique] were engraved on the stone tablet. After so many days of hard training, he already knew the [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique] like the back of his hand. With just a glance, he could already see some clues.

He thought to himself, “Why would the [Golden Crow Body Tempering

Technique] appear here?”

If it was a profound cultivation technique, he would not be so surprised. However, the [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique] was not that profound. It was merely a cultivation technique that had roughly three levels.

Suppressing his curiosity, he continued reading.

It did not take long for him to gain something. There were some subtle differences between this technique and the one he had practiced before. There was much more content written in it.

Could this be the original version of the [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique]?

Li Ming did not understand the situation. The [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique] was not a high-grade cultivation technique to begin with. Even if it was slightly modified, it would not become a high-grade cultivation technique.

Thinking of this, Li Ming could not help but laugh at himself. He was too greedy.

This stone tablet was a mystery to Li Ming. He subconsciously thought that if this stone tablet was related to a cultivation technique, it would definitely be a powerful cultivation technique.

This was also the reason why he was shocked by its name when he saw it.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to memorize the [Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique] written on the stone tablet.

Just as he began memorizing this paragraph of text, he was shocked to find the paragraph of text actually disappeared into thin air. A ball of smoke condensed together and enveloped this paragraph of text.

Could this be a reminder to him that his way of cultivating the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique was wrong? He shook his head from side to side, trying to get rid of this inexplicable thought. No matter what, anything related to the divine sense was extremely strange.

Li Ming, who had withdrawn from his sea of consciousness, refocused on the cultivation technique on the stone tablet..
