Night gradually descended. It was already late autumn, and night came especially early.
Outside the forbidden area, inside the house!
Su Ming sat down cross-legged. As he circulated his [Connate Art], hot steam rose from the top of his head and formed white smoke.
Kacha--
A light sound came from his body, and soon after, Su Ming stopped his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes.
"I broke through!"
He had easily broken through to the Lv 2 Qi Cultivation Realm!
Su Ming truly felt the wonder of the [Connate Art].
Clang! Clang! Clang!
At this moment, a familiar bell rang outside the forbidden area.
"A day passed just like that."
A hint of a satisfied smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He stood up, opened the door, and walked out.
This day was too simple for him. He just patrolled the back mountain and then practiced the Xiantian Technique for a day.
He had done what he needed to do, and even his realm had risen to a higher level. He was relaxed and satisfied.
Su Ming had gradually grown fond of such a simple life where no one disturbed him and he could do his own things in peace.
Not far away, a bright lamp gradually came from the periphery of the forbidden area.
The old man was here to take over Su Ming's position.
"Su Ming, how was your first day?”
The old man came forward with two jugs of wine in his hands and asked with a smile.
Ordinary disciples were not willing to come to the forbidden area of the back mountain.
Firstly, it was too quiet here. Other than him, no other disciple would come here, let alone the experts of the sect.
Even if he wanted to find someone to talk to, it was not easy to find a higher-up to suck up to.
Secondly, the desolation of the forbidden land was only one of them. The most unbearable thing was that one had nothing to do.
Many young disciples who came here could not last for more than a few days. The boring days would make people crazy.
Su Ming nodded." I feel pretty good. I have to thank you for the wine. It helped me a lot.”
The old man chuckled. The cold air in the mountains was heavy. Drinking to keep out the cold was something that people with low cultivation levels like them had to do. Otherwise, they might not be able to hold on, especially now that it was close to winter.
As for Su Ming's good impression of this place, that was only temporary. He believed that in a few days, Su Ming would not be able to take it either.
"Go back. The food has been sent to your room. Just come on time tomorrow.”
After the old man finished speaking, he walked towards the forbidden area at the back of the mountain.
This was his daily duty, as if it was a compulsory course.
"This old man has a good heart.”
Su Ming shook his head and left.
......
Compared to the world of martial artists that Su Ming knew in his previous life, the world of martial artists in this world was much bigger than the one in Su Ming's impression.
With more sects and more forces, disputes were naturally inevitable.
However, it had been more than half a year since Su Ming had transmigrated to this world, but the entire world of martial artists was strangely quiet. There were only some small disputes, and no major incidents had spread.
The Sect of Flame was a demonic sect, and there were many disputes. Not only did the evil sects come to provoke them, but even the self-proclaimed righteous sects often came to find trouble.
However, in the past six months, not a single provocation had happened!
This made Su Ming feel a little regretful that he did not have the chance to witness the glory of the powerful warriors in the world of martial artists!
However, it was a pity that nothing had happened to the Fire Worship Sect, which was a good thing for him. After all, he was just an unremarkable disciple guarding the mountain. His words were insignificant, and his cultivation was not even on the table. If something really happened, disciples like him would probably be the first to die.
Now that the sect was peaceful, he could cultivate peacefully every day and slowly grow!
During this half a year, Su Ming patrolled the forbidden grounds at the back of the mountain every day. Other than the old man, he did not see any other disciples from the Sect of Flame.
No one really came to the forbidden area at the back of the mountain!
His relationship with the old man was growing day by day. According to the old man, he had been here for more than 60 years and had come here since he was ten years old.
He was already in his seventies.
Originally, he was the only one in the forbidden grounds of the back mountain. However, ten years ago, after Cult Master Yang entered seclusion, he became two patrolling disciples.
The higher-ups of the cult arranged for them to be here for the sole purpose of serving the cult master. If the cult master came out of seclusion, not only would they have to serve him well, but they would also be responsible for informing the higher-ups of the cult.
The bell was used as a signal, and the daily routine of striking the bell was also to send a message to the higher-ups of the cult that the forbidden area was safe.
If a great enemy appeared, or if Cult Master Yang came out of seclusion, the bell would sound different.
During this half a year, Su Ming had completely gotten used to his identity as a disciple guarding the mountain.
Other than cultivating the Xiantian Technique, he would sign in at the forbidden stone tablet and the forbidden platform every day.
Of these two places, one was a house outside the forbidden area, and the other was close to the forbidden area.
Su Ming noticed that the rewards for signing in to these two places were completely different.
In the past half a year, he had obtained many items. There were different martial arts. Fist, palm, saber, sword, lightness skill, internal art, and all kinds of martial arts. For example, the familiar Five Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Technique, Shaolin Arhat Staff Technique, Quan Zhen Sect's Mental Cultivation Technique, Oath-breaking Saber Technique, and so on...
Apart from these martial arts, Su Ming also obtained Qi Gathering Pills for training. These were good things that were hard to come by for training.
After half a year of practice, the effects of the Xiantian Technique had finally begun to show. He had successfully stepped into the second realm of this technique, and the Genuine Qi in his body became longer and thicker.
As a result, his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm!
......
One morning, Su Ming went to the stone door of the forbidden area after he took over his shift.
"It's time to break through. I wonder what good things I'll get by signing in today?”
In the past half a year, he had never thought of entering the forbidden area, nor had he come close to this place.
This was the first time, because he wanted to obtain an item to break through the realm through this check-in.
"Ding! The sign-in was successful. The sign-in reward was issued!”
The system's voice rang out, and Su Ming immediately opened the system space.
[Azure Essence Pill: A high-quality pill in the pugilistic world. It can change one's meridians and cleanse one's marrow. It can condense true qi. It's worth ten thousand gold!]
"Good stuff!"
Su Ming's eyes lit up when he saw the description of the Azure Primordial Pill.
The opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
As early as two months ago, his cultivation was already able to break through. However, he had always suppressed his cultivation and consolidated his foundation in order to achieve success overnight!
Now, the opportunity to break through had arrived!
Once Su Ming consumed the Azure Primordial Pill, he sat before the stone monument in the forbidden area and started breaking through.
Six hours later!
In front of the stone tablet of the forbidden area, Genuine Qi surged and dust flew. A majestic aura flashed past.
The Book of Changes and Marrow Cleansing had been completed!
Marrow Cleansing realm!
