Cultivation: I Can Add Descriptors To My Body

Chapter 54: Heavenly Southern Border

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The strength of Li Ming’s divine soul allowed him to detect the minute fluctuations and movements of spiritual qi.

That remained true even in a place like this one.

Moreover, ever since he had entered the foundation establishment realm, the feeling of having spiritual qi siphoned from his body had indeed become a lot weaker.

Li Ming walked forward and started rummaging through a pile of rocks.

“What is this?”

Li Ming moved the rocks aside and saw that there was a black rock under the huge pile.

Although it was called a rock, it was incredibly smooth, perhaps it would be more apt to call it a stone.

Li Ming could clearly sense that the spiritual qi was being siphoned by this very stone.

When he held it in his hand, strange patterns surfaced on the black stone. “Could it be that this thing needs to absorb spiritual qi to do something?”

Li Ming frowned. Out of curiosity, he could not help but release his spiritual qi at the stone

However, Li Ming’s current spiritual qi was all golden crow spiritual qi. In other words, his spiritual qi was scorching hot and extremely destructive!

With the infusion of his spiritual qi, the patterns on the stone became brighter and brighter. Then, before he could react, a stream of spiritual qi shot out from the stone and instantly rushed into Li Ming’s forehead!

.....

Hiss!

Li Ming felt a sharp pain in his head, and even his divine soul trembled from the impact!

When he came back to his senses, he realized that something had appeared in his mind out of nowhere.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually a technique! “Imperial Finger?”

“This is… A low-grade mystic-tier martial skill?”

Li Ming was instantly dumbfounded as he looked at the new technique in his mind.

It was a low-grade mystic-tier martial skill, Imperial Finger!

Even in the Divine Will Sect, there were very few mystic-tier magical arts, let alone martial skills.

Previously, Li Ming had been worried that he would have difficulty finding any skills or techniques that would match his level in the future.

After all, there were almost no people who practiced body cultivation in the vicinity of the sect.

However, he did not expect to find such a timely technique today!

He had actually obtained a low-grade mystic-tier martial skill!

There was actually a high-level technique in this stone!

Li Ming instantly understood that this stone was a treasure!

Although he did not know where it came from, the technique that appeared from it was a low-grade mystic-tier technique, and it was suitable for those who practiced body cultivation.

This had basically solved his worries.

Of course, he had to keep such a treasure.

With a low-grade mystic-tier martial skill, Li Ming was incomparably happy.

He immediately put the black stone into his bag of holding and returned to his courtyard.

Having just obtained a brand new martial skill, Li Ming naturally wanted to learn it.

Anyway, with the support of the [Martial Dao Prodigy], it had become easy and convenient for him to cultivate.

His comprehension was extremely powerful!

The low-grade mystic-tier Imperial Finger mainly focused on one’s aura. It created the image of an emperor descending from the heavens, controlling life and death with just his finger!

Holding absolute power over the world!

The technique looked very domineering, and it was proportionally difficult to learn.

With the help of the [Martial Dao Prodigy], Li Ming quickly comprehended the Imperial Finger, but he was unable to unleash its true power!

It was as if Li Ming lacked the ambition to truly bring out what the technique was capable of.

In layman’s terms, Li Ming’s goal in cultivation was to live forever and become an immortal.

He did not have the goal of fighting and slaughtering, nor did he have the ambition to dominate the world.

Previously, Li Ming had tempered his body because his talent in qi cultivation was horrendous. He had not given up on his hope of cultivating.

That was why he had diligently cultivated his body throughout years of mockery and neglect!

With the help of the entry system, Li Ming finally saw hope and successfully reached the foundation establishment realm in body cultivation.

And now, he had even reached the foundation establishment realm in qi cultivation.

Under such circumstances, Li Ming had naturally become very relaxed.

He did not carry any thoughts of fighting for more. He was content with what we had, and he was fine with slow but steady progress

On the next day, Li Ming chose to leave the Martial Hall early in the morning.

Although he could use the Imperial Finger, its power was barely satisfactory. Without the imposing manner and ambition that the technique needed, it was not worth using.

This forced Li Ming to find a technique that was better suited to him once again.

Although the Five Divine Fists was not bad, it was obvious that Li Ming needed a larger variety of moves.

Currently, he no longer had any merit points.

He had used up all of his resources to increase his qi cultivation and establish his foundation.

What Li Ming needed to do now was to carry out some missions to earn some merit points, as well as some spirit stones, to support his cultivation.

Li Ming soon arrived at the five halls’ mission area.

Unlike the hundred opportunities hall of the outer and inner sects, this place was specifically made for only the disciples of the five halls. The rewards that can be received from the missions that were posted here were very generous.

But at the same time, the missions were much more dangerous.

After all, the disciples here were all foundation establishment cultivators. The missions that they accepted would naturally not be as easy or as simple as those in the hundred opportunities hall.

Li Ming had just arrived. As he was not familiar with the place, he looked around and was very curious about the mission area.

“Junior Brother Li Ming?”

“You… You’ve already broken through to the foundation establishment realm?” While Li Ming was looking around, a familiar voice called out to him.

He turned around and saw that it was Lu Lan again.

Li Ming was surprised. Every time he went out, he kept on running into her. Fate was truly strange.

“Yes, I’ve successfully reached the foundation establishment realm.”

“But while increasing my cultivation, I used up too many resources, so I have come here to earn more.”

There were many disciples in the five halls, and everyone had good talent. However, there was still a bias with regard to the resource distribution.

People like Chen Qingke, who were extremely talented, would naturally be supported by the sect.

She would not have to come to a place like this and accept any missions.

It could be said that she had truly achieved the action of a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

On the other hand, people like Li Ming, who had reached the body cultivation foundation establishment sect, did not attract much support from the sect.

Although Li Ming had also already reached the foundation establishment realm, he had only done so after three years.

This speed was very ordinary among the five halls.

As such, it was normal that he would not garner that much support.

Of course, this was what most people who were not familiar with the situation thought.

Lu Lan knew that Li Ming was definitely not ordinary to be able to reach the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm while in the Martial Hall!

“It just so happens that I just accepted a mission here. The reward is quite good. Does Junior Brother Li Ming want to join?”

“It just so happens that I need one more person to help me with this mission.” Lu Lan immediately handed him an invitation to join her.

The reward for the mission she had accepted was 30,000 merit points and 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!

The reward was indeed quite generous.

Compared to the rewards for the missions in the inner sect, there was a huge difference.

Of course, the mission content was naturally more dangerous. Otherwise, Lu Lan would not have chosen to look for people and split the reward equally.

“Alright, no problem.”

Li Ming did not think too much about it and immediately agreed.

He had a good impression of Lu Lan, so he felt that cooperating with her should be worth the while.

Hearing Li Ming agreeing to join her, Lu Lan heaved a sigh of relief.

As she brought Li Ming down the mountain, she explained the content of the mission.

This mission would take place at the border of the Heavenly Southern Region. They would have to investigate the problem in a certain town.

It did not seem like much. In fact, it merely seemed like a small errand.

However, a mission that could appear in the five halls’ mission area and had an extremely high reward could definitely not be so simple.

According to Lu Lan, some time ago, demons had appeared all over the Heavenly Southern Region, and their cultivation bases were not to be taken lightly. Some of them were even at the foundation establishment realm!

Even demons with ordinary cultivation bases were already destructive to mortals.

Now that there were foundation establishment demons running about, one could just imagine how much chaos and destruction there could be.

Therefore, during the mission this time, they were very likely to run into foundation establishment demons.

The risk was extremely high!

The Heavenly Southern Region was protected by the Divine Will Sect. Whether it was the small sects or the ordinary people here, they were the same to the Divine Will Sect.

The Divine Will Sect took on the role of protecting them from being disturbed and destroyed by evil foreign forces such as demons.

Naturally, these smaller forces that were under the protection of the Divine Will Sect had to pay it tributes every so often.

This was also the reason why a sect as large as the Divine Will Sect would never run out of money.

After all, a sect needed resources to run.

Li Ming followed Lu Lan and headed toward the border of the Heavenly Southern Region.

After traveling for three days, they finally reached the outskirts of the town.

As soon as they got close, Li Ming felt a strong demonic aura coming from the town!

Apart from that, there was also the smell of blood that permeated the air! “Looks like the situation is a lot worse than we thought.”

“Junior Brother Li Ming, we need to go in and investigate thoroughly. If these demons have a plan, the sect cannot just sit still and wait for death.”

Hearing Lu Lan’s words, Li Ming did not object.

After all, it was a mission.

However, before he even entered, he could already sense that a gory scene of death and mangled flesh was awaiting them inside the town.

The two of them cautiously approached the town.

When they entered through the town gate, they saw that the entire market was in a mess and broken stalls could be seen everywhere!

Not only that, the entire street was filled with blood, but there was no sign of anyone!

“When demons and devils hunt mortals, they treat mortals as food.”

“Of course, they prefer to eat cultivators like us much more. After all, the spiritual qi in our bodies far exceeds that of mortals.”

Lu Lan explained, but Li Ming was still in a daze when he saw the scene before him.

Although he had fought with the disciples of the sect before, he had only crippled them.

This was the first time Li Ming had seen such a bloody scene!

Although there were no corpses, the strong stench of blood assaulting his senses gave Li Ming quite a shock!
