Chapter 142 Spirit Spring Stele
Chapter 142 Spirit Spring Stele
" Tch, A single circle of power? You should be ashamed!"
" Hurry up and get off! Let me try!"
Long Ming and the group of Four Seasons Valley reached the Spirit Spring Stele, where a large crowd was gathering before it.
The enthusiastic cultivators punched the stele with all their strength. After their punch, a circle would appear on it.
A Peak True Core Formation realm cultivator walked forward and punched the stele. The stele shone with a bright light with ten rings. Suddenly, a drop of crystal clear water appeared befoe him, entering his body.
" Is that Spirit Milk?" Long Ming looked at it with surprise. " I don\'t think so. The aura of that drop is so weak."
" Indeed, Brother Long is right. That\'s not Spirit Milk, but Spirit Spring Water. You can say it\'s a diluted version of Spirit Milk." Ming Yuexin spoke.
" As you can see, there were various names written on the stele. Those are the ones who set records with their power. As long as you can break their records, you will receive a substantial amount of Spirit Milk. Otherwise, you will only get a drop of Spirit Spring Water."
Long Ming nodded as he looked at the list on the Spirit Spring Stele. In the fourth position, he saw a name, Bu Lingchun.
" I see… So Senior Brother Bu was in the fourth position, huh?" Long Ming rubbed his chin. He saw Bu Lingchun make a hundred circles shine at once.
" So, How does this work? Sheer power? Or comprehension?" Long Ming asked.
" Well, Mix of both." Mu Qinglian spoke. " The stele judges your power respective to your cultivation realm. So, if you have enough comprehension and strength in Violet Palace Expansion Realm, you can also light up more circles than a True Core Formation Realm."
" But still, the cultivation realm also has its limit. So, You need to have a higher cultivation base and comprehension for better rewards."
" Hmph! Hurry up and get out!"
" Scram to the side. We are going to use it now."
Mu Qinglian and others frowned when they saw a group of disciples surrounding the Spirit Spring Stele. Seeing their uniform, Long Ming recognized them.
" Zhongye Sect disciples?"
" Damn it! Are they trying to monopolize this place?!"
The other cultivators became dissatisfied when they saw the Zhongye Sect disciples were covering the Spirit Spring Stele. Long Ming suddenly saw a familiar face.
It was none other than Yan Ziren, who was leading those disciples.
" Well, Look who is here?"
Long Ming chuckled as he walked forward. The Zhongye Sect disciples became startled as they pointed their weapons at Long Ming.
" Halt!"
" Who are you?!"
Yan Ziren was shooing away other cultivators. But when he heard Long Ming\'s voice, his body became stiff. Turning back, he saw Long Ming\'s smiling face, making him feel awkward.
" Brother Yan, We met again." Long Ming looked at Yan Ziren. " I guess Zhongye Sect purchased some additional slots after losing the tokens to our sect, huh?"
Hearing Long Ming\'s words, Yan Zirent couldn\'t help but feel anger. " Long Ming, Don\'t you think that you became superior after defeating me once? Hmph, I am much more powerful than the previous time."
" Is that so?" Long Ming fanned himself with his Plum Blossom Fan. " Well, It\'s not like I am about that. However, I don\'t like you are treating the Spirit Spring Stele as your private property."
" What? Are you trying to be righteous?" Before Yan Ziren could speak, another young man walked forward as he looked at Long Ming.
Long Ming looked at the young man with a smile. " This dao brother is…"
" I am Shu Yanlin, Core Disciple of Zhongye Sect."
" I see. You must be more powerful than Yan Ziren, huh?" Long Ming\'s Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed. " Unfortunately, You should have come to the Four Seasons Valley. I could have fought with a better opponent."
" Hmph, if I went there, Our sect wouldn\'t have lost so many tokens." Shu Yanlin snorted. Yan Ziren almost choked when he heard Long Ming. He wasn\'t a good opponent? Was he a weakling?
Long Ming looked at Shu Yanlin, his Heavenly Revelation Eyes showed the cultivation of Shu Yanlin. He was already at the threshold of the Peak stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.
" Well, I was also thinking about my junior sisters testing their strength on the Spirit Spring Stele." Long Ming closed the paper fan. " Now, The thing is… Who is going to go first?"
" First? It\'s obviously us." Yan Ziren snorted. " We arrived here first. How can we allow you to use the Spirit Spring Stele before us?!"
Well, Technically, The rouge cultivators arrived here first." Long Ming shrugged.
" Long Ming, is it?" Shu Yanlin\'s eyes narrowed. " Are you trying to pick a fight with our sect?"
Shu Yanlin\'s eyes flashed when he saw Mu Qinglian and other disciples with Long Ming. A pang of jealously appeared in his heart.
\' Damn it, This bastard really got a pretty boy face. He is also hanging around with so many beauties all the time.\' He cursed in his heart.
But then, a sudden thought appeared in his mind. " Well, If we fight here, it will be a loss for both of our sects. How about we fight in a different way?"
" Different way?" Long Ming raised his eyebrows.
" This Spirit Spring Stele… How about we compare our power here?" Shu Yanlin pointed at it. " The one with more circles shall win."
" Well, It\'s fine by me." Long Ming laughed lightly. Shu Yanlin snorted in his heart when he heard that.
\' Just wait and see how I humiliate you.\'
Shu Yanlin was in a secluded cultivation session when Zhongye Sect challenged Four Seasons Valley. Therefore, He felt that rather than Long Ming\'s power, it was Yan Ziren\'s incompetency that made Zhongye Sect lose both their face and tokens.
Not to mention, He was extremely confident in breaking the records in Spirit Spring Stele as he was prepared for it.
" Then, I am going first."
Shu Yanlin walked at the Spirit Spring Stele as he swung his arms. A bright glow covered his fist as his aura exploded. His fist gave off an oppressive feeling as if it could shatter anything.
*BOOOOM*
The Spirit Spring Stele lit up brightly as numerous circles appeared on it. The shockwave of the punch was enough to knock the weak cultivators to the ground.
" Eighty… Eighty circles!"
" My goodness! He made Eighty circles appear at once!"
Shu Yanlin basked in the light of the Spirit Spring Stele as he used his fingers to write his name on it. Soon, his name appeared on the eighth place.
With a smug look, he looked at Long Ming. " What? Are you stoo scared to step up now?"
" Scared? I don\'t think so."
Long Ming looked at Shu Yanlin with amusement as he walked forward. Looking at the stone stele, Long Ming calmed his heart. He pondered for a moment to think which technique he should use.
\' Well, Let\'s go with this one.\'
Long Ming suddenly used his Great Mystic Mountain Physique and gathered the power and weight of the mountain into his fist. His fist filled with a muddy yellow light, making it weigh more and more.
However, Long Ming took a step back and used the technique he learned recently.
" Nine Ocean Overlapping Fist! Great Ocean Fist!"
Everyone suddenly felt a burst of refreshing aura from Long Ming, as if a giant wave of water appeared behind him. When his fist landed on the stele, it was like a wave of tsunami crashing on it.
*BOOOOM*
Long Ming already comprehended the technique and acquired the Intent of Water thanks to the system reward. Now, he was using the technique with the tremendous power of his Great Mystic Mountain Physique.
One hundred and eight rings appeared on the stele, shining dazzling before the cultivators.
Long Ming smiled as he surpassed Bu Lingchun and reached third place. His spiritual qi surged as he wrote his name in the third place.
A string of milky liquid appeared as it turned into a small sphere in front of Long Ming. Long Ming took out a jade bottle and collected it.
Shu Yanlin only received a drop of Spirit Milk while Long Ming received an entire bottle of it.
Shu Yanlin felt his eyes will pop out from shock. " Wh-What the hell! How can this happen!"
Long Ming chuckled when he heard that. " Well, It just happened. So, I guess according to our bet, Our Four Seasons Valley will use this stele first."
" Yo-You!!"
Shu Yanlin quivered with anger as he wanted to refute. However, the disciples of Four Seasons Valley already started to use the stele to gauge their strength.
As time passed, Long Ming\'s eyelids twitched as he sensed something unusual.
" What is it?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming and asked.
" Nothing… I just felt something was watching us." Long Ming used his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, but he didn\'t find anything unusual.
" Let\'s hurry up and explore the Inner Zone. There are more precious treasures and herbs here."
Ming Yuexin stepped forward and pulled out her sword. With a flash, she slashed her sword at the stele.
*BOOOM*
She reached the ninth place instantly.
