Chapter 40: Violet Palace Expansion Realm

" What?! Three days?"

Long Ming was startled as he tried to get up. But he still felt his body aching along with a terrible headache.

' What a strong urge to kill someone. How can I have such murderous intention?' Long Ming gritted his teeth as he was furious.

' I let my guard down. They really planned too well.'

When Long Ming got attacked by the fake steward, he used momentum to get away from that fake steward.

However, it was precisely the intention of that person to drive Long Ming to the alleyway.

Long Ming also ran in that direction because he knew that the assassins probably sealed his path from going back to Four Seasons Valley. However, As long as he could stall time, someone would have come to find him.

However, nothing went according to plan.

' But what the fuck happened to me? There are two types of voices in my head. One was stopping me from killing, and another one was making me a crazy murderer.'

What terrified Long Ming, even more, was the feeling he felt after killing the first person.

It was his first time killing someone, but he felt calm and tranquil. He felt like he didn't kill a human at all but merely squashed a bug.

' And those memories... When did mom and dad die? I remember they were talking about going on a business trip. And Uncle Han... Why would he do that?'

" What exactly I am missing?'

" Young Master, Are you alright? You look...Tensed."

Long Ming came back to his sense as he looked at Xiao'er worried face. He puffed out a breath of turbid air as he rubbed her head.

" I am fine, I guess. But did I really sleep for three days?"

Xiao'er nodded. " Indeed. All of us were so worried about you. Sister Meng hurried and got the best alchemist of the Grand Sky City for you."

" However, He said your body is fine. But, You are suffering from a Qi Deviation."

" Qi deviation?"

Long Ming frowned when he heard that term.

Qi Deviation happens when a cultivator's soul and qi become disharmonious. It makes the cultivator's qi flow berserk, giving crippling injuries or even death.

" Strange, Qi Deviation... It shouldn't have happened. Why did it..."

Before Long Ming could mutter anymore, a familiar fragrance entered his nose as her body was wrapped by a soft and elastic figure.

" Ayia, Little Brother, You finally woke up!"

" Ugh! Sister Meng, If you press those mountains against my face, I will get unconscious again!"

Meng Zhi giggled as she looked at Long Ming. "Oh? I thought you liked feeling them with your face? Was I wrong, hmm?"

" Well, Since you are insisting so much... I won't deny your show of affection, Cough."

Long Ming coughed lightly as he kept his face pressed on her breasts. Meng Zhi's voice turned cold as she couldn't help but snort.

" Those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards. How dare they sneak attack you." She gritted her teeth as she couldn't help but sigh.

" But they got their lessons after getting tricked by me twice. They sent some hired mercenaries after you. So, No matter what, we can't pin the blame on them."

Long Ming sighed as he tried to get up.

" Heh, No matter what, they can't escape their fate." Long Ming snorted. " But, I really have to thank Mu Qinglian. She really saved my life."

Long Ming turned around as he saw Meng Zhi and Xiao'er looking at him in a strange way.

Xiao'er was blushing brightly and trying to look away. Meanwhile, Meng Zhi was bold with fiery passion in her eyes as she gazed at Long Ming.

" Certainly, Little Brother Long. I agree with you very much." Meng Zhi nodded, but her gaze was still locked on Long Ming's bpdy.

" Then why are you drooling!"

Long Ming felt a cold wind on his skin as he finally looked down.

" Wha-What the fuck! Why am I naked?!"

Long Ming shouted as he hurriedly got the bedsheets to cover himself. But seeing it was only Meng Zhi and Xiao'er, he snorted as he threw the bedsheet back.

" Well, You guys already saw everything. I don't think I need to hide anything at all."

" Yo-Young Master!"

Xiao'er shouted as she covered Long Ming's body with the bedsheet. " You are so shameless!"

" Tch, Xiao'er, You are blocking a good view." Meng Zhi sighed. " Or, you want to keep your precious young master to all yourself?"

" I... I would never. I... I am just his servant."

Xia'er felt her cheeks burning with shame as she spoke in a low voice. Before Long Ming could reply, Mu Qinglian burst into that room.

" I heard you woke up..."

She spoke in a cheerful voice, but when she saw the scene, her smiling face stiffened.

" May I know what is happening here?"

" Whoa!!"

Long Min got goosebumps when jhe heard Mu Qinglian's icy voice. " Don't just grab your sword hilt always. I just woke up and wrapped the bedsheet around me. Nothing strange is going on. Nothing really."

" Are you sure?" Mu Qinglian grumbled. " And here, I was trying to persuade Sect Master to delay your duel."

" Ah... Three days already passed. I supposed to fight a Core Disciple of Four Seasons Valley, yes?" Long Ming spoke.n0veLuSb.c0m

" But looking at your condition, I doubt it. Sect Master already agreed to move the date forward."

" No need." Long Ming got up as he grabbed his robe. " Just give me two hours. I will go to the Four Seasons Valley."

" Are you serious?" Mu Qinglian snorted. " Do you think the Core Disciples of Four Seasons Valley are weak? Each of them is at least a True Core Formation Realm cultivator. Not to mention, there are also Primordial Spirit Unification Realm disciples."

" It doesn't matter." Long Ming chuckled. " Just give me some time to cultivate and I will be fine."

" You...Fine." Mu Qinglian sighed as she looked at Long Ming. She snapped her fingers as Long Ming's Illusory Lightning appeared in her hands.

" I didn't know you actually got a Noble Grade treasure. This bow is pretty good."

Long Ming held the bow as he couldn't help but smile. " Thank you again, Miss Mu, For saving my life."

Mu Qinglian turned around as she waved her hands. " Don't mention it. It's also my fault that I let them attack you."

" Also, You can just call me by my name if you wish. No...No need to be so formal."

Long Ming could swear that he saw Mu Qinglian's ears turning pink. But before he could look more, she vanished from her position.

" Alright, You should make your preparations. I won't disturb you anymore." Meng Zhi smacked her lips in a seductive way as she held Xiao'er and walked out.

Long Ming sat cross-legged as he started to absorb the Fragrant Yin Qi from the Eternal Spring Tower. But this time, Long Ming felt the quality of Fragrant Yin Qi increased drastically.

" It feels like it was directed toward me. So, I managed to gain the affection of almost all women here, huh?" Long Ming gave a light laugh as he crazily absorbed the Fragrant Yin Qi.

[ Ding! Host overcame the Tribulation of Desolate Heaven Murder Star! Host gets a random Dark Gold grade treasure!]

[ Violet Palace Expansion Realm has been opened for Host!]

Long Ming saw the notification as he took a deep breath.

" FINALLY!"

A twisted smile of victory appeared on his face as he tightly clenched his fist.

The Fragrant Yin Qi gathered in his heart as he started to refine his blood with it. Long Ming was already familiar with the process, he was just implementing it.

Not long after, he felt his blood and vitality draining as it gathered in his heart. His flesh was sapped and he looked like a skeleton wearing a human skin.

' Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth! Refine True Blood!'

After the crazy infusion of Fragrant Yin Qi, Long Ming clasped his palm as the pink light condensed into a single drop of blood.

The drop of blood shone like a ruby, with a slight purple shimmer on it. It looked more like a crystal than a drop of blood. However, the moment Long Ming absorbed it, he felt his entire body rejuvenate with new vigor.

Long Ming's withered figure came back to life as the Fragrant Yin Qi coursed through his entire body like a tidal wave.

The process repeated nine times as Long Ming condensed nine drops of True Blood. As the nine drops were made, they gave off an endless stream of vitality in his body and made his divine sea ripple.

Long Ming felt his body, qi, and soul connecting deeply as the divine sea slowly expanded.

The surface became smoother as a pavilion rose amidst. It was smooth and pristine, without any flaws.

' The palace foundation of Violet Palace. I officially entered the Violet Palace Expansion Realm.' Long Ming took a deep breath.

But his heart didn't calm down. He used the momentum as he forced forward.

In Violet Palace Expansion Realm, there were simply two stages. Palace Foundation, Celestial Pillars.

Long Ming already reached the first stage, but he didn't stop. He already knows the essence of the Violet Palace Expansion Realm thanks to the Sublime Dao Art of Heaven and Earth.

The palace foundation trembled the Fragrant Yin Qi started to build the pillars.

Technically, One can ascend to True Core Formation Realm after forming three Celestial Pillars. However, Three pillars aren't the limit and are also called the weakest palace.

In total, one can build nine pillars on the palace foundation. Three pillar palaces are the weakest while nine pillar palaces are the strongest.

Celestial Pillars are as their name implies. They support the foundation of the cultivator's Violet Palace and give them the connection with the Grand Dao and the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

The Violet Palace Expansion Realm Cultivator with nine pillars can even beat the True Core Formation Realm cultivator.

Long Ming's dantian turned into a sea of pink qi as he crazily absorbed the Fragrant Yin Qi. However, he also didn't forget to take out some remaining Sunset Crystals to absorb Scarlet Yang Qi.

The Fragrant Yin qi and Scarlet Yang qi, both began to form the Celestial Pillars on the palace foundation of Long Ming.

After Six hours, nine bright pillars of night shot from Long Ming's body.
