Dongfang Bai's appearance was like a stone that had thrown Su Ming's peaceful days into chaos!
However, it was a blessing, not a curse.
Since he was here, he would take it easy!
......
Time passed like a white horse, two years had passed quietly!
During these two years, Su Ming still lived a very peaceful life. Other than patrolling the mountain, he signed in every day and obtained many treasures.
Some of these treasures were secret manuals, some were martial arts techniques, some were natural spirit herbs, and some were miscellaneous books.
These miscellaneous books were placed together with the books sent by the sect. They were piled up on seven or eight bookshelves. They were all kinds of Jianghu gossip, secrets of the imperial court, Jianghu legends, ancient books of various sects, Daoist books, and so on…
In the past two years, Dongfang Bai would come here once every two months.
It was as if he knew that Su Ming loved wine. Every time he came, Dongfang Bai would bring two pots of the sect's treasured wine.
He did not get too close to Su Ming either. He was just like an ordinary disciple of the sect, occasionally chatting with him.
To Su Ming, as long as he did not find it troublesome, he did not mind this kind of calm interaction between gentlemen.
It was the end of another year!
This was the sixth year Su Ming had spent in the forbidden area at the back of the mountain.
Inside the house.
Su Ming slowly stopped his cultivation and let out a breath of foul air before opening his eyes.
"I'm still a little short!"
During these two years, Su Ming's level of cultivation was still increasing rapidly, but compared to the previous few years, the speed had clearly decreased.
This time, he had used a year and a half to reach the peak of Controlled Dan.
However, another half a year had passed, and he still did not feel the opportunity to break through.
He had been stuck at the peak of the Controlled Dan realm for half a year!
During this half a year, Su Ming read books every day and comprehended the laws of nature. He might not have made a breakthrough, but his foundation had become more and more solid.
He wasn't too anxious. When it came to cultivation, what was important was to let nature take its course.
Su Ming stopped cultivating and got off the bed. He opened the door. It was already evening, and the sky outside was gradually darkening.
It was time to change shifts again.
As usual, Su Ming carried the lantern and went to the forbidden area at the back of the mountain.
From afar, Su Ming saw Dongfang Bai coming again and chatting with Gu Ruoqing.
The few old women stood far away and did not approach.
"Senior Brother Su!"
Su Ming had arrived. A smile instantly bloomed on Gu Ruoqing's face. She left Dongfang Bai behind and walked towards him.
In two years, Gu Ruoqing had become more and more attractive. She had a beautiful face and a slender figure. She was definitely a beauty at the level of a disaster.
A year ago, she had started walking in the world of martial artists. The four years of training by Su Ming's side had allowed her to be reborn, and her cultivation base had increased by leaps and bounds. She had already reached the second level of Qi Nucleation!
"Yes!"
Su Ming nodded slightly and cast his gaze towards Dongfang Bai.
The current Dongfang Bai's cultivation had also improved greatly. His cultivation had entered the fifth level of the Qi Nucleation realm.
"When did you come back?" Su Ming asked.
Dongfang Bai smiled and waved the three wine gourds in his hand." I happened to go to Jiangnan half a month ago and passed by the Misty Rain Restaurant in Jiaxing. Knowing that you were a good wine drinker, I brought back three bottles of Nu 'er Hong, which the Misty Rain Restaurant had collected for seventy years, for you.”
As he spoke, Dongfang Bai handed him three jugs of wine.
Su Ming did not stand on ceremony and took the wine." If you want to give me wine from a thousand miles away, then it would be impolite of me to refuse.”
When the wine entered his throat, Su Ming felt his spirit become even more active, and he felt comfortable.
"Good wine!"
Su Ming praised him and changed the topic." You didn't come here today just to deliver the wine, right?”
Dongfang Bai nodded." Tomorrow is the New Year celebration. I want to invite you to attend."”
Su Ming had stayed in this place for six years. He did not reveal his true identity. The New Year's Eve celebration was not just for observing the ceremony. There was also a competition between the sect's core disciples, and the winners would get the treasures prepared by the sect.
Dongfang Bai wanted to use this opportunity to let Su Ming experience the world. After all, they were all young people. Perhaps once he saw such a grand scene, Su Ming would not be able to help but reveal how extraordinary he was.
"I'm used to being quiet and don't like crowds.”
Su Ming had long since guessed her intentions, so he rejected her straightforwardly.
"Su Ming, you've been in the sect for so many years, but you've always stayed in the forbidden area. You've never even participated in the New Year's Eve Celebration. Aren't you curious at all?”
Dongfang Bai blinked his beautiful eyes." The New Year's Eve Celebration is only held once a year. It's a rare opportunity. Perhaps you'll encounter something that you're interested in?”
"Moreover, this celebration will be held at the Sacred Fire Peak. There's also a chance to see the glory of the Sacred Fire Insignia!”
This Sacred Flame Token was a sacred object of the Fire Worship Divine Sect. It was rumored that it contained the supreme ultimate technique of the Divine Sect. Those who were fated could even see the manifestation of the Sacred Flame Token and comprehend the divine technique contained within!
It had to be said that Dongfang Bai's words were full of temptation.
If it was anyone else in the martial world, they would not be able to refuse.
However, Dongfang Bai did not notice that when Su Ming heard her words, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
Sacred Fire Peak's sign-in?
As one of the most important halls in the Sect of Flame, how could Su Ming not be tempted?
During these two years, Su Ming had been there many times without anyone noticing.
Unfortunately, the sign-in on Sacred Fire Peak disappointed him every time!
The gains from signing in there were not even as good as the forbidden area at the back of the mountain.
That was why Su Ming had long since lost interest in that place, and it was naturally the same for the celebration.
"Thank you for your kind intentions! Instead of joining in the fun, he might as well enjoy the snow in the forbidden area at the back of the mountain.”
"I don't know how you trained your temperament. Those Heaven's Favorites in the martial arts world go wherever there's a commotion. They can't wait to be in the limelight and become famous. I've never seen anyone like you, who's afraid to avoid it as much as possible.”
Dongfang Bai sighed slightly. It seemed that it was impossible to see through his cultivation base.
Su Ming smiled but did not reply. Instead, he pointed at the sky." It's getting late. You should go back early. We should be patrolling the mountain."”
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
When Dongfang Bai saw that Su Ming did not want to say anything more, he did not force him. He bade farewell to Gu Ruoqing, then turned around and left with the old women.
