Chapter 213 I'm a Cultivator. How Can I Skive?

At this very moment…

The cultivators at the doorstep glanced at one another. Similarly, they were extremely vigilant.

If it was the python…

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

They blasted the doors open.

Shus.h.!.+

At that moment.

A shadow flashed across.

Before they could come to their senses, they saw the flickering glow of the pointer extinguis.h.i.+ng in that instant. At this moment, they also saw the person in the room.

He looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old teen.

This looks…

“Lu Ming?” one of them spoke. “h.e.l.lo.”

Lu Ming cast a strange look at the few people who suddenly appeared. “Have you guys found the python?”

“No.”

That person looked at the pointer. “I discovered a spirit body just now…”

“Oh, I killed it.”

Lu Ming felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. “Just now, something suddenly appeared. I struck immediately as I thought that it was the python. I didn't expect to kill it instantly.”

Everyone's heart was aching.

This would do as well?

Hey! That was a spirit body!

Did you kill it that easily?

It was really…

“Are you sure?”

One of them looked at the cultivator beside

him.

“Yes.”

“The spirit body has already disappeared.”

That cultivator with the pointer said, “Lu Ming certainly has the capability. I think he exterminated a five-star and a six-star spirit body last time…”

“Don't offend him. Let's go.”

“Sure.”

The few of them nodded slightly.

Lu Ming…

They had heard of this name before they came here.

If it was possible, they were not willing to confront such a cultivator whose strength was unknown. They checked carefully to confirm that the spirit body was gone.

Afterward, they left the place.

Sigh.

It was a sheer pity.

After the few of them left regretfully, Lu Ming then heaved a sigh of relief.

They almost discovered it!

If he had not reacted quickly enough by putting away the Original Card in the Sea of Consciousness. They would most likely have found out! It seemed that these so-called spirit body hunters were quite capable!

After watching these people leave and confirming that all of them were gone, Lu Ming then called out the Original Card to continue with the cultivating.

Obviously, he was more cautious this time.

As soon as any spirit body hunter approached them, he would put away the Original Card…

However…

As a result, the speed was significantly slower.

“Can't you be more low-key?” Lu Ming sighed. “I'm absorbing such a huge amount of energy, how can I be low-key?” The Original Card felt very aggrieved. It could be low-profile if it were to slow down.

You want me to be faster and avoid causing energy fluctuation at the same time. Does this make sense? Furthermore, how the h.e.l.l would I know that those people would discover this…

“Perhaps you are born in the wilderness and not compatible with the Original Card.”

Lu Ming made a guess.

Unlike the spirit body that was born naturally in Xiaobai's card, this mysterious spirit body was shoved into the card. It was normal that it was not fully integrated with the card yet.

The Original Card was silent.

Hehe.

The term ‘wilderness' was not carefully used at all.

So uncultured!

The Original Card's heart was filled with contempt.

If not for that stupid cat… prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law (Core socialist values)…

Whoosh

The Original Card heaved a sigh of relief when it no longer sensed the presence of dark shadows. Fortunately, it reacted quickly enough. Otherwise, it would have gone to heaven already.

On the second floor.

The duo's cultivation was interrupted again.

As they had to avoid the crowds that appeared constantly, the cultivation speed had decreased significantly.

“This won't do.”

Lu Ming furrowed his brows. “Wait a minute. I'll think of a way to help to block your aura and state.”

Hence…

Lu Ming personally created an Isolation Film!

“Come, give it a try.”

Lu Ming covered the Original Card with the Isolation Film.

Buzz

The Original Card cultivated again but its speed decreased again.

“It won't do.”

The Original Card was dissatisfied. “What kind of rubbish cover is this? It not only blocked the aura and state but also energy. I can't sense a thing now.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

“Do you have those super thin ones?”

The Original Card was full of antic.i.p.ation. “If it's thinner, it shouldn't be a problem then.” Lu Ming's face turned black. d.a.m.n!

You're cultivating and not mating… Super thin?!

d.a.m.n, this was an Isolation Film! It was for the purpose of isolating the aura! What was the use of it being thinner?

Forget it.

Lu Ming's head was hurting.

“Let's move further up.”

Lu Ming sighed. The Original Card agreed.

As they ascended the building, the sinister and cold aura became more intense. Naturally, there were fewer cultivators and they were less affected. Therefore, their speed increased.

Hence…

Lu Ming got up again and walked further up.

Somewhere.

A sinister and cold aura filled the air.

Someone was wandering every room and focusing his gaze.

When he stepped into a particular room…

Suddenly…

He paused in his tracks. “I've finally found you…”

The corners of his lips curled into a smile. Although he did not lift up his head, he could still sense that familiar aura.

Cold and sinister.

Chilling and… b.l.o.o.d.y.

“Is it fun to be at the top?”

He smiled faintly.

Above him.

On the ceiling. That originally neat pattern began to transform. It was gradually twisting… It was actually the pattern of that python skin. It was spiraling above his head!

Upon hearing this person's voice, it slowly appeared.

“Look.

It's pointless to hide up there, right?”

That person smiled.

“How about… You come home with me obediently.”

A faint smile emerged on the corners of his mouth.

This time, it seemed that he was at the forefront.

However…

Just at this moment, twisting its body, the python's humongous figure slowly closed in before him. It swept a cold glance across him and he could feel a trace of chilling coldness.

This aura…

The smile on the person's face froze instantly.

No.

It was not merely his smile.

His gaze, gesture and everything of him turned stiff at this moment.

“You…”

He merely spewed out a one-word sentence.

Swoos.h.!.+

That python swept across him.

Click!

Click!

His body was shoved to the floor, turning into countless ice cubes.

Swoos.h.!.+

The python disappeared from the spot.

Its aura actually became stronger than before.

At this very moment…

At the police office.

Zhang Wei and the group had been keeping a close watch on the situation in the prohibited area.

Just at this moment, the alarm suddenly rang. Everyone's heart flipped. Looking at the cold and sinister aura that was suddenly spreading above the building…

“d.a.m.n it!

“It is going to temper the building!”

“Stop it!”

The policemen were in fear and trepidation.

The spirit body could integrate with a certain thing, eventually turning two into one…

For example,

Sword spirits. However, once the spirit body was integrated, it had to reside in the host. Therefore, many spirit bodies shunned integration and wanted to lead carefree and n.o.ble lives in the world.

Most spirit bodies that were born had such thoughts.

When they were still dazed and had not come to their senses, they had already been captured…

Right now…

This python before their eyes knew everything

It trapped all the cultivators and began to temper this building. Once its tempering was successful, it would integrate with this building and its powers would definitely increase by leaps and bounds!

No one could stop it!

When that time came, were they going to send a seven-star here?!

To h.e.l.l with it!

“Hurry!”

“Stop it!”

The policemen finally attacked.

Bang!

Bang!

High energy cannons.

Fire cannons.

Endless energy was blasted at the prohibited area.

However…

It was ineffective!

The building was not the slightest bit damaged.

The cold and sinister aura was still shrouding the building gradually, from top to bottom, and almost solidifying, engulfing and integrating the aura with all the floors of the building.

“We're done for!”

Everyone was in utter despair.

They knew that the python's strength was going to increase tremendously again!

Buzz

Buzz

The policemen looked at the building despondently. Seventy percent!

Eighty percent!

Ninety percent!

They were done for!

Zhang Wei was grim.

He did not expect the python to succeed eventually despite them putting in that much effort. None of those d.a.m.n cultivators would care about this…

They did not belong to Qing Ming City.

However, to the natives…

This was their home!

“Tell them to leave?”

One of the policemen's heart trembled. “It's too late!” “Prepare to save people!” Both of Zhang Wei's eyes were red. He hollered furiously, “Once the python succeeds in tempering, its powers will increase tremendously. All the areas nearby will be affected!”

“This time… I'm afraid there will be deaths again.”

“What about those five-star cultivators?” one of the policemen suddenly asked.

Those that came to Qing Ming City this time were not only four-star but also five-star cultivators! With their abilities, how could they not stop the attacks if they really wanted to?!”

“Haha.”

Zhang Wei only scoffed.

Stop it…

How could they possibly stop it!

This was the momentum of a five-star spirit body turning into a six-star spirit body…

They… were even waiting for the python to level-up!

After all, a python that had just advanced might be weak?

After all, the value of a six-star spirit body far exceeded that of a five-star spirit body?

After all, to them, this place was merely an instance dungeon (An instance dungeon is a special area in ma.s.sively multi-player online games that generates a new copy of the location for each group, or for a certain number of players, that enters the area) for catching a spirit body.

At this very moment…

Outside the prohibited area.

Many gazes swept across and some people quietly appeared.

“The python is going to level-up.”

“That's right.

“Get ready to attack!”

“Once the python enters six-star, catch it immediately…” one five-star cultivator said.

Although they did not possess six-star ability, a few five-star cultivators were enough to fight it. Furthermore, they had prepared professional traps for catching the python!

They were determined to catch this python!

“Remember!

The moment that the python integrates with the building…

We have to be fast! When the python attains six-star, forcefully separate it from the building! At the point of integration with the building… this is the only juncture and the best chance to separate

it!”

“Understood.”

Right then…

Countless eyes were locked onto the building.

They were waiting

Waiting for the building to transform! Waiting for the python's breakthrough!

After all…

It had absorbed that many four-star cultivators as nourishment, that should be enough for it to advance?

They knew that the python would integrate with the building and then become a true-blue six-star spirit body. Its powers would increase exponentially!

At this point…

They would forcefully separate them!

They would capture the python!

Ninety-three percent!

Ninety-five percent!

Ninety-eight percent!

Everyone's gaze was scorching.

Everyone was staring at the building. Everyone was brewing their trump cards and energy, yearning to make a move.

Ninety-nine!

Ninety-nine!

Ninety-nine!

Eh?

Everyone furrowed their brows slightly. This was the last bit of tempering. Shouldn't it be completed at any point in time?! Why was it stuck for that long without any breakthrough?

Could it be that the last bit of tempering was the most difficult part?

That was possible.

Hence…

Everyone was patiently waiting.

However…

Ninety-nine percent.

Ninety-nine percent.

Ninety-nine percent.

The building's tempering progress seemed to have come to a standstill and could not progress further.

What was happening?

The five-star cultivators on the sidelines were confused.

The policemen who were prepared to rescue were also confused.

This…

What was happening?

“Be careful.

“Don't tell me that the python is up to some tricks again?”

Everyone was on their guard.

However…

They were unaware of something.

At this moment, the python spirit body was also lost.

From awakening to transformation, it had complete mastery and its own plans. Therefore, it lay low in this place seriously, maintaining a low-profile and absorbing energy…

Everything was very smooth.

Those dumb guys had been swallowed by it…

It had sc.r.a.ped together adequate energy to temper the building before it made a move. It knew that there were people watching outside. However, it also had a plan in mind!

However…

The near-to-perfect plan was beginning to meet a roadblock.

The tempering… could not be completed!

It had long checked every room, every place and every inch of this building. There was certainly no problem. Why couldn't he finish the tempering?!

Its thoughts swept across the place and suddenly stopped.

This was because, just at this moment, it was shocked to discover the existence of an ordinary room within a certain room on the fourth floor.

This was the place that could not be tempered?

Buzz

Beams of cold and sinister aura suddenly dashed towards that place.

Bang!

It was like enormous and raging waves!

However…

Shockingly…

Over there.

It was useless despite the infusing of boundless energy!

Like an abyss, any amount of energy would disappear.

It was mysterious and uncanny…

At this very moment…

In the room on the fourth floor.

Lying on the sofa, Lu Ming took out a book. On the ground…

“O huo~!”

The Original Card was shaking in an elated manner.

This was cool!

Earlier on, it had been absorbing this gush of cold and sinister aura bit by bit!

But now?

It was surging to it on its own!

It was gus.h.i.+ng to it non-stop!

That aura was swept across the depths of his soul like waves and he could not bring himself to stop absorbing it…

It was so cool!

Since they stepped onto the fourth floor, that cold and sinister aura suddenly began to increase tremendously and was gus.h.i.+ng in and entering the room from all sides…

It felt too good!

It never had such an excellent cultivation experience before!

That feeling…

The entire world was helping you to cultivate!

Whoos.h.!.+

Whoos.h.!.+

Energy was increasing rampantly.

“Not bad!”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

He was very satisfied with the Original Card's rate of improvement.

Look.

This was cultivation!

Staying at home every day was called retirement!

You're still so young, why are you in a retirement mode?!

You can only achieve the greatest breakthrough at the point when you face life and death! It is only during a dangerous crisis that you can improve at such a lightning speed!

If you stay at home and idle too much, you will fall behind others!

Even talented cultivators like Gao Tianlang and his sister were also killing outside and striving to become stronger.

He had been too lazy recently… Lu Ming sighed.

I'm a cultivator, how can I skive?!

Therefore…

He had already decided. He would study together with Xiaobai on how to get these two Original Cards to venture into the wilderness and increase their cultivation speed…

As for him and Xiaobai…

Well…

It was fine for them to study the cards at home.

This was a clear division of labor!

This arrangement was quite good… quite good.
