Chapter 124 Minor Completion

Chapter 124 Minor Completion

Soon, The news of Liang Yao's scandal spread across the entire Four Seasons Valley. Many disciples couldn't believe what they heard.

" So, Elder Liang Yao was a spy? She embezzled our sect's resources?"

" Not only that, but she also harmed many of our talented disciples."

" Now you said, didn't there was a rumor a senior sister of Medicinal hall died mysteriously? The rumor was that she got a secret from Elder Liang, therefor, she got killed."

" I thought it was merely a rumor. However, now I think, it might be true."

" Senior Brother Long is really something."

" Yeah, to think he managed to dig out a rat like Liang Yao."

Soon, Long Ming became another hot topic in the Four Seasons Valley. However, currently, this hot topic was studying alchemy in the Solitary Flower Peak, while chatting with beauties.

" Brother Long, Don't tell me you are going to practice Alchemy now?" Ming Yuexin suddenly asked.

" Huh? Why not?" Long Ming chuckled. " Who knows? Maybe I find some beauty in rare illness. Then, I will cure it, and her grandfather will give her hands to me?"

" You only think about women and women, nothing more." Mu QInglian snorted as she threw her chopsticks at Long Ming. Long Ming laughed as he dodged the attack.

" Well, Is there anything wrong with it? After all, Everyone's desires are different." Long Ming looked at the sky as he laughed lightly. " I wish to be like an immortal, unfettered and free as a cloud. Enjoying whatever I can, and doing whatever I want."

Ming Yuexin grinned. " Brother Long, even clouds have a silver lining. Don't you know? Beauty and Wine is the grave of the sword?"

" Grave of the sword?" Long Ming chuckled in return. " Why not lie in such a beautiful grave, filled with the allure of women and the fragrance of wine? Rather than living while sitting on a stone and fearing tribulations, I would rather die such a grandiose death."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Long Ming. Mu Qinglian looked at him as she smiled. " Well, I am afraid it's not as easy as you think."

" Not matter what, you will still be shackled by many things. Believe me, Long Ming, You aren't as apathetic as you think you are. You also... fear death..." nOve-Lb/In

Long Ming remained silent at the remark of Mu Qinglian. After that, Ming Yuxin changed the topic. " Brother Long, I have improved my swordsmanship by a notch. However, I think it would be better if I consult with you."

" What do you think? Shall we have a round or two?"

" Haha, Is that so?" Long Ming pondered. " Well, How about tomorrow? I am thinking of practicing alchemy and rune inscriptions tonight. Besides, I need to handle both the Medicinal Hall and Crafting Hall by now."

" Alright, Senior Brother. We can do it whenever you want." Ming Yuexin spoke. Her cheeks turned a bit pink as she added.

" You can come to my abode any time. I would like to have a nice spar with you."

Mu Qinglian blinked as she looked at Ming Yuexin with wide eyes. Even Chu Li and Xiao'er couldn't help but giggle.

" Damn it, You all ..." Mu QInglian snorted as she got up. However, one could see anxiousness in her eyes.

" Long Ming, The Imperial Tournament is incoming. You better don't slack off and increase your strength. Azure Sun Sacred realm is filled with perils, where you need both strength and caution."

Long Ming nodded. " I understand, Senior Sister. Don't worry, I will do my best."

After bidding all of them farewell, Long Ming scrolled the skills and rewards he got. What made him happy was the new archery skill, Hundred Flower Arrows.

He pulled out the Illusory Lightning as his fist tightly grasped it. A dreamy light flashed on the bow as its string filled with Fragrant Yin Qi, turning into a string of purple lightning.

Long Ming tugged the bowstring as he pulled it, making the bow arch. His Fragrant Yin Qi condensed into a powerful arrow, pulsing with immense strength.

The arrow kept becoming bigger and bigger as Long Ming's Fragrant Yin Qi kept charging inside it. His Archery Intent enveloped the arrow, giving it a pulsing sharpness.

Just by looking at the arrow, one could feel the piercing sharpness of it. Suddenly, Long Ming released the arrow as it turned into a streak of purple lightning.

However, when it reached its peak, it suddenly exploded like a firework as a beautiful flower appeared in the sky. The petals of the flower scattered as they enveloped a large area, falling down from the sky like rain.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*

However, each of those petals contained immense strength, with terrifying piercing capabilities. As beautiful as it looked, it was nothing more than a rain of death itself.

Long Ming looked at the power of Hundred Flower Arrows as he nodded with satisfaction. He only learned the ability and used it casually. With his mind, he can turn it into a powerful single target attack and an AoE attack as he wish.

And after long, he was finally happy to have a skill related to archery. In fact, he liked it more than the sword techniques he had.

Why go for open conflict when you can kill your target from far away?

After practicing the Hundred Flower Arrows, Long Ming looked at the Millenium Mountain Spirit Essence which he got from Ren Xian. It was an important resource that will help him cultivate the Great Mystic Moutain Physique.

Currently, Long Ming crossed the Initial Realm and reached the threshold of the Minor Completion Realm. Among the four stages of physique cultivation, the Minor Completion and Grand Completion stages were like two watersheds.

If Long Ming reaches the Minor Completion stage, his physical power will reach a new height. Not to mention, since he didn't get any clearance to ascend to the Primordial Spirit Realm, it would be better to increase the power of his physique.

The moment Long Ming held the Millenium Mountain Spirit Essence, he felt his arm would rip from the weight itself. It was the same as he was trying to lift a mountain.

However, his Great Mystic Mountain Phyqiue erupted from his body as a gigantic radiant mountain appeared behind Long Ming. The mountain peaks soared to the sky and covered with mystical fog. The dense energy circulated the mountain with an aura of auspiciousness filled the entire mountain.

Long Ming felt his blood and meridians turning into heavy granite stones as he absorbed the essence. He felt the weight of his body increased by a hundred folds, making him crush entirely.

He gritted his teeth as he circulated the essence inside his body, using it to temper the Great Mystic Mountain Physique. The mountain behind Long Ming became more and more clear as it absorbed the essence.

However, Long Ming felt his entire body getting ripped by the sheer force and weight of that essence. His flesh cracked up as blood flowed out. However, even the volume of the blood became so much that it was rolling out like crimson tar.

The drops of blood that fell on the ground, caved the soil inwards. Long Ming felt his body sinking into the ground, even his soul trembled from the pressure.

However, Long Ming persisted while gritting his teeth. A few hours passed as all the essence was completely absorbed. Long Ming felt he could ascend to the Minor Completion stage anytime he wanted. However, he halted his breakthrough.

Dry skin and blood fell like a snake shedding its skin. Slowly, Long Ming's fair skin appeared, completely fine as before. Stretching his arms, he could feel the bones cracking and his strength was even more than before.

" Ahh, This is really a refreshing feeling. I guess I need to research the Azure Sun Secret Realm before stepping in." Long Ming still remembered the warning from Jiang Wanxue and Mu Qinglian.

He decided that it would be better if he took some precautions. As he was about to return to his abode, he saw Chu Li standing outside. She wore a pretty fancy dress, but it was sleeveless, giving Long Ming a glimpse of her beautiful arms.

" Umm, Senior Brother, I hope I am not disturbing you."

" Haha, Not at all." Long Ming looked at Chu Li as he smiled. " What brings you to me at this hour, Chu Li."

" Well, I got some confusion regarding the Flame Dragon's Breath and Soaring Water Moon Art blending. I wonder if you can guide me?"

Long Ming looked at Chu Li as a wide grin appeared on his face. " Well, Certainly, Chu Li. After all, I am a responsible Senior Brother."

" Besides, This is just evening. We have the entire night."

Chu Li was startled when she heard Long Ming. However, a smile blossomed on her face. " Sure, Senior Brother Long. I would do my best to learn from you thoroughly."
