Chapter 23 Disappointment
Among Zhang Qi's storage bag, Li Ming had also discovered the three needles and two recorded information that Zhang Qi had used to sneak attack him earlier.
The two jade cylinder s were respectively recording the method of refining the poison on the golden needle and the method of using the Imperial Equipment that Li Ming wanted to possess.
Li Ming temporarily ignored the jade cylinder that had the [Gold Needle Poison] written on it, and looked at the jade cylinder that had the [Imperial Technique] written on it first.
Using his true qi, he opened the jade cylinder that recorded the Imperial Technique. Li Ming realized that this jade cylinder did not have much, only a mere few hundred words. However, there was a saying, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Using this phrase to describe Li Ming's current mood could be said to be extremely appropriate.
What was recorded on the jade cylinder was indeed the recorded technique of the Imperial Equipment, but it had been written at the beginning of the paragraph: The Imperial Equipment Technique lies in the Spirit. Combined with Zhang Qi's memories, Li Ming understood what he meant. The success of the Imperial Equipment, depended on the spirit sense of the cultivator who cultivated the Imperial Equipment, if the spirit sense was strong, then the process of cultivation would be extremely fast. On the other hand, if the spirit sense was weak, then cultivating the Imperial Equipment would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
If even cultivators with weak spiritual senses find it extremely difficult to cultivate the Imperial Equipment Technique, then, Li Ming doesn't even have a spiritual sense. Doesn't that mean that he is simply unable to cultivate the Imperial Equipment Technique?
Li Ming didn't know whether or not her own Sensory Perception of a Fighter could replace the consciousness, but Li Ming felt that most of the Sensory Perception of a Fighter could not replace the consciousness of cultivators. Because from the information Li Ming had gathered these days, consciousness was a method to utilize soul force. However, Sensory Perception of a Fighter used true qi to sense the changes in nature's spirit energy, and from that point, it could feel the changes in its surroundings. Hence, Li Ming felt that Sensory Perception of a Fighter could not replace cultivators with their divine sense.
However, Li Ming did not have the time to test whether or not the Sensory Perception of a Fighter could cultivate in the Imperial Equipment Technique, and now, he had to expel the poison from his left arm, otherwise, if he allowed it to remain in his body for a long period of time, Li Ming's left arm would never be able to be used again.
In the previous battle, if not for Zhang Qi's sneak attack on his left arm, he would not be able to use it at the moment. Dealing with Zhang Qi would cause so much trouble, and with Li Ming's cultivation, he could settle it in an instant. But because Li Ming had to use his Innate Qi to suppress the poison in his arm, in the end, it took Zhang Qi so much time to finish off the poison.
Now, Li Ming started to circulate the third layer of taiji method's chant, and started to circulate his Innate Qi to expel the poison.
Just like this, an hour passed. In this half an hour, Li Ming finally spat out the poison from his left arm. Moving his left arm and feeling that his left arm was completely unharmed like before, Li Ming was a little excited in his heart. After all, the feeling of being unable to use an arm was not pleasant.
Now, with his arm healed, it was time to strike back at the small forest where Jian Zhi was killed! This time, Li Ming did not forget where his and Jian Zhi's storage bag were waiting for him!
"I wonder if Zhuge Yun is still waiting there. If he isn't, then I'll have to spend a lot of effort to find my Scarlet Fruit." Li Ming thought in his heart as he walked out of the cave.
Following the same direction he came from, Li Ming returned to the small forest after an hour.
Once he entered the small forest, Li Ming saw that Zhuge Yun was still there waiting for him. Li Ming increased the speed of the microstep and arrived behind Zhuge Yun: "I didn't expect you to still be waiting for me here, this has made you wait for a long time."
Upon hearing someone speak, Zhuge Yun was startled, he turned and shouted: "Who?" Seeing that it was Li Ming, Zhuge Yun immediately replied respectfully: "I did not know that senior had returned, and was disrespectful to you, please forgive me!"
"It's fine, it's fine. I have made you wait for a long time, that would be rude. "
"I was willing to wait here for Senior. I was hoping that Senior would help me take revenge!"
"As long as you find the Scarlet Fruit, I will definitely help you take revenge for your father. Right, where are the corpses of the Jian Family's people? Why is it gone? " Li Ming had looked around, but he did not see the Jian Family's corpse, thus he asked Zhuge Yun this.
"Reporting to senior, this little girl has taken care of the Jian Family's corpse, this is Jian Zhi's storage bag, I hope senior can look into it." After Zhuge Yun heard Li Ming's question, he replied respectfully and passed Jian Zhi's storage bag over to him.
Li Ming took Jian Zhi's storage bag, and after opening it's Innate Qi, he discovered that there were only a few Spirit Stones, a few low levelled pills and two stalks of thousand year Ginseng. After taking out the thousand year ginseng from Jian Zhi's storage bag, and putting those low grade pellets into Jian Zhi's storage bag, Li Ming passed the storage bag over to Zhuge Yun and said: "Take this storage bag! You should also accept the items inside! Just treat it as you waiting for my thanks! "
"I am ashamed to accept this. This is the spoils of war obtained by senior, how could I dare to accept it?" When Zhuge Yun heard that Jian Zhi had given Jian Zhi's storage bag to him, he asked fearfully.
"Alright, if I say I will give it to you, then I will give it to you. You don't need to worry about what I will think, I, Li Li won't be so hungry that I won't choose to eat. Furthermore, even if I have any thoughts about you, with my cultivation, will you be able to resist? " Li Ming knew that Zhuge Yun was worried that he had intentions for her, and thus said this directly to Zhuge Yun.
Zhuge Yun, who had been poked in the middle by Li Ming, suddenly blushed and said: "Senior must be joking, how could this little girl dare to have such an idea?"
"If that's the case, then accept it!"
"Then this little girl will thank Senior for the reward." Zhuge Yun said with a joyous expression. She knew that what Li Ming had said was the truth, and even if Li Ming had any thoughts about her, she could not resist.
"Alright, after this, you can take me to the marshland that has Scarlet Fruits." Li Ming said while looking at the happy Zhuge Yun.
"Yes, Senior!" Zhuge Yun said softly.
Just as the two of them walked out of the small forest, three people walked over. One of them looked at the middle-aged man beside Zhuge Yun and said, "Big Brother, it's her.
"Are you sure?" Looking at Zhuge Yun and Li Ming, the middle-aged man who was addressed as big brother asked.
"Big Brother, I'm sure. I saw him keep that storage bag with my own eyes!" Hearing his big brother's words, the middle-aged man spoke with certainty.
"Little girl, you should still hand over the storage bag! Otherwise, we'll have to forcibly rob them. " The middle-aged man who was addressed as big brother said to Zhuge Yun after hearing his brother's affirmation.
As for Li Ming, because of his Innate Qi, this passerby did not treat him as a cultivator, but instead thought that Li Ming was Zhuge Yun's relative.
, who was standing next to the middle-aged man, turned and asked, "What's wrong? You know them? "
However, the cultivator that was just talking, after Senior left, he had also arrived at the small forest behind us. He discovered the corpse of the Jian Family's Second Clan Elder that was killed by Senior, and wanted to seize the's Second Clan Elder's storage bag. However, since my cultivation level was not much higher than his, I was unable to kill him and could only chase him away. After which, I kept the storage bag of the Jian Family's Second Elder. Not long later, senior has returned. "
"No wonder you were so shocked when I first appeared. So there was actually such a thing!"
"Yes, Senior." I thought it was a helper he called, and that's why I was so surprised. "
"In that case, let's finish them off quickly!" "We have to hurry on our way."
When the middle-aged man saw that Li Ming and Yue Yang were freely discussing, he thought that they were discussing whether or not to hand over the storage bag to him.
"How is it, did you guys discuss leaving the storage bag to me?" The middle aged man spoke to Li Ming and Li Ming in a low voice.
"Sorry, this is my spoils of war, I will not give it to you. Also, if you don't open up a path, I don't mind sending you to see the King of Hell. " When Li Ming heard the middle aged man's words, he replied with a smile.
"You sure are arrogant!" I want to see how you are going to send us to see the King of Hell. " The middle-aged man had not yet spoken when another man beside him spoke out loudly to Li Ming and Zhuge Yun.
"So you're not going to give way?"
"Of course, since you are unwilling to give me the storage bag, I do not mind taking it for myself." At this moment, the middle-aged man also replied.
In the beginning, when the middle aged man heard Li Ming's voice, he thought that he had met a powerful being. However, after thinking about his Qi Disciple Level 12 cultivation, he felt at ease. He believed that with his cultivation, nothing unexpected would happen this time. As for why Li Ming and Yue Shan were Foundation Cultivator, this middle-aged man had never thought of it. After all, if Foundation Cultivator ever met someone with a lower cultivation level than him who asked such a question, he would have already stabbed them with his sword.
As a result, when they were speaking, the three men took their weapons and rushed towards Li Ming.
Li Ming looked at the three men who were rushing over, raised his hand and shot three monoyang finger s over. Instantly, the path was filled with the corpses of three cultivators.
As for Li Ming, he looked at the three corpses and said to Zhuge Yun who was beside him: "Go and search through their items."
With regards to Li Ming killing the three men so easily, Zhuge Yun was not surprised at all. After all, he had personally witnessed the battle between Li Ming and the three men! Then, when Zhuge Yun heard this, he did not waste any words, and directly went to retrieve the items left behind by the three of them. After that, he walked to Li Ming and handed the items over to him: "Senior, these are the items left behind by the three people."
"I don't have much use for these items, and they aren't worth much spirit stones. Take them!"
"Thank you, senior. I will accept it." With the previous incident, Zhuge Yun did not decline again, and accepted the items happily. Although these items would not be of much use to Li Ming, but to a cultivator like Zhuge Yun, this was still a considerable amount of income.
