Cultivation: I Can Add Descriptors To My Body Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Li Ming's eyes widened.

He had bitterly cultivated for so long and only obtained a green [Lifetime of Qi Refinement].

He did not think that he could gain entries through such means.

It seemed that he had to go now. Completing the mission would not only help him gain the favor of this senior sister and get some rewards for the mission, but more importantly, he could receive a blue entry!

The [Unobstructed Hundred Meridians] was something that he obtained after going through many difficulties, and he had personally experienced the benefits that it brought.

He knew that he had to go. Even a fool would know which option to choose.

Li Ming immediately chose the first option, which was to accept his senior sister's request. After all, wasn't it just looking after some ghosts?

“Alright, Senior Sister Lu, I'll accept this mission.”

Lu Lan was not surprised that Li Ming had agreed.

From the beginning, she believed that this mission was very suitable for Li Ming and should be very attractive to him.

Lu Lan said, “Junior Brother Li, this trip will take about three days. Pack your bags. I'll wait for you at the door.”

Li Ming did not have much to pack. He put a few sets of clothes in the storage bag and set out with Lu Lan.

On the way, keeping Li Ming's speed in mind, Lu Lan moved at a slower pace than she could have.

Li Ming did not deliberately use his movement technique.

Nevertheless, the two of them soon arrived at the depths of the sect, behind a green peak.

The forest here was even more secluded. Even when Li Ming was looking for a place to cultivate, he had never come to such a far place.

Lu Lan brought Li Ming to a mountain path.

“Junior Brother Li, this mountain forest is sealed with magical formations on all four sides.”

“Only this mountain path is relatively weak because of the frequent access, so I need you to look after it.”

“In about three days, there will be elders who will be transporting ghosts through. At that time, your mission will be completed.”

After Lu Lan explained the situation clearly, she asked, “Do you have any questions?”

Li Ming looked over and saw that the forest was covered by trees, so he could not see much light.

He could vaguely see the runes of a formation in the air.

Only this mountain path had relatively fewer runes.

When the time came, he would only need to look after this place. When he had nothing to do, he could even cultivate. It was really a good deal.

“Nope.” Li Ming shook his head.

With the formation's barrier and his own strength…

This mission was too easy for him.

Lu Lan smiled. “Then I will have to trouble Junior Brother Li to take care. If anything happens, just crush the jade slip and inform me.”

“Mm.”

After Li Ming expressed his agreement, Lu Lan left.

After Lu Lan left, Li Ming was left alone in the dark forest.

The sun shone through the dense leaves, and scattered rays of light landed on the grass.

The area was still very gloomy as a whole…

If it was an ordinary disciple, they might be afraid of the ghosts that came out.

After all, any ghost could naturally scare ordinary cultivators, but it was nothing to Li Ming who cultivated the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.

Just by standing there, his extremely yang physique was enough to intimidate all the ghosts and monsters.

Besides, it was broad daylight, so Li Ming was not afraid at all.

He directly laid a dust-free mat in the middle of the mountain path, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Since he was on a mission and it was not safe here, Li Ming did not rush to break through to the fifth level of the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.

Instead, he started to cultivate his qi according to the [One Qi Art]. If one ignored his strong body, he would be a standard qi cultivator.

However, even in the outer sect, he would not appear particularly mediocre.

He meditated for the entire day.

The sky was getting dark.

Soon after, it was already night. Li Ming took out some dry food from his storage bag.

While he was eating, he heard ghostly wails and wolf howls coming from the forest. It was quite frightening.

“Ghosts?”

Li Ming stopped meditating. He held his breath and looked around.

The formation was especially clear at night. The entire mountain forest was covered in a formation that appeared as a golden light barrier.

Only the magical barrier covering the mountain path where he was at was relatively weak.

At midnight, Li Ming stood up from the mountain path and looked at the dark shadows in the forest around him. He seemed to be a little restless.

As he was observing his surroundings, a black shadow in the shape of a chandelier suddenly rushed toward him.

“Swish!”

The black shadow was quite fast.

It would soon crash into the barrier.

Li Ming did not have much time to think. With the buff from [Swift as the Wind] applied to his feet, Li Ming quickly went to block it.

He visualized the forest divinity of the five divinities.

In this forest, his fist intent seemed to be glowing with vitality, blocking the black shadow.

“Peng!”

Just as he was about to hit the black shadow, he unconsciously added a burning aura to his fist.

At the same time, the eight meridians in his body shone with the aura of the sun. Subsequently, an extreme yang aura swept out in the dark.

The originally soft touch quickly made a sizzling sound, like boiling oil being poured on ice and snow, melting the snow instantly upon contact.

“Wuuu…”

It was accompanied by a strange cry of pain.

The black shadow was sent flying back and quickly fled into the forest, disappearing without a trace.

“That was… A ghost?”

Li Ming was a little shocked.

In this world of cultivation, there were many demons and ghosts, but this was the first time he had seen a ghost.

As expected, the cold yin on the ghost's body was countered by his Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.

Even though there was a barrier, with so many ghosts charging over, the stability of the barrier could be affected.

As such, he needed to take action.

Li Ming began to practice the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.

With the surge of his true qi, a burning aura gathered on his hands. It was condensed but did not scatter, and it scattered but was not released. This was the control he had when he cultivated the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art to the peak of the fourth level.

However, the ghosts that emerged from the forest would not let go of such a good opportunity.

One after another, they emerged and sprinted towards the mountain path.

“Ha!”

A ray of righteous qi exuded from Li Ming's body, and he waved his fists that flared with blazing sun true qi, carrying with it a burning aura.

Occasionally, some ghosts would bump into the restriction and try to slip out.

However, Li Ming's fists were not to be trifled with.

He would hammer them as soon as he caught them and then slap them back.

Very quickly, an actual representation of the phrase “wails of ghosts and howls of wolves” appeared on the mountain path.

As he fought to his heart's content, the ghostly beings gradually began to grow afraid and no longer dared to approach.

Li Ming was a little surprised. These ghosts actually did not dissipate even under the suppression?

After all, he had used the great sun fist in conjunction with the burning aura of the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.

Although he managed to repel the ghosts, he could sense that they were not simple.

He recalled that Senior Sister Lu Lan had said that these ghosts were demons and ghosts sealed in the sect and were to be locked in the demon-subduing pagoda.

It was no wonder they were so sturdy.

Li Ming guessed that these ghosts might have some other background.

However, none of this was his business.

His mission was simply to block the weak point of the formation.

That night, the ghosts launched wave after wave of attacks.

But before Li Ming's fist, they were all useless.

On the second day, the ghosts were much calmer.

It was not until the night that they once again gathered to launch a second round of fierce attacks.

With the tide-like charge, the majority of them crashed into the barrier.

Some of them wanted to break the barrier, but Li Ming naturally would not give them that chance.

His cultivation technique was the perfect counter to these yin-type beings.

For three days and two nights, in addition to guarding the mountain path against ghosts, Li Ming sat cross-legged in meditation.

The final night passed peacefully. Li Ming calmly counted the time.

Three days had passed, and his mission had been completed without a hitch.
