Chapter 10: Why This Testing Orb Isn't Exploding?
Currently, Long Ming didn't have any sort of cultivation technique or battle arts of Immortal World.
However, He noticed his status changed after cultivating the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method to the maximum. The originally sealed techniques were now unsealed.
' Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm is a powerful martial art. Using the soft Yin energy, One can use the vibration to destroy an enemy from within.' Long Ming took a deep breath as he got into the stance.
These types of techniques were helpful when the opponent got a powerful defense. If you can't break the shell of a turtle, then crush its flesh from the inside.
Long Ming didn't know how powerful Earth's martial art woulld be in Immortal World. However, since he got no alternative, he only practiced the things he got.
' The use of the Fragrant Yin Petal is to store the Fragrant Yin Qi and empower my current technique. So, If I draw the Fragrant Yin Qi to empower this technique, then…"
Long Ming's palm moved as he slammed his palm on a nearby small boulder. The boulder trembled as Long Ming could feel a strange vibration throughout his hand.
" Ouch!"
Long Ming felt his face twitching as he felt a light pain from his palm. However, the boulder lookedthe same as before.
But, Long Ming noticed that the amount of Fragrant Yin Qi in the Fragrant Yin Petal decreased considerably. Long Ming pondered as he saw the rock.
" It failed?" Long Ming mumbled as he tried to roll the boulder.
*CRACK CRACK!*
With a light push, Long Ming was startled when he saw the boulder cracking up. When it shattered, Long Ming looked at the broken piece carefully.
The boulder's outer surface looked smooth and flawless as before. However, when Long Ming saw its inner parts, he could see it was shattered into little beads. One could see that the boulder crumbled from inside.
" Damn! Now that is something!"
Long Ming smacked his lips as he saw the result. He was satisfied form the result. He also understood that his actions would consume the previously stored Fragrant Yin Qi.
" But, What if I try using it with my True Qi?"
Although Long Ming didn't have any cultivation technique, he could circulate a bit of True Qi in his body. He closed his eyes as he circulated the True Qi in his body.
After that, He used the Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm. The result was almost the same. But Long Ming could determined that the Fragrant Yin Qi was better.
' So, Till I get a cultivation technique, I should be practicing the Fragrant Blossom of Endless Spring Art.' Long Ming determined.
After that, He continued to practice his Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm and Shadow Dragon Steps.
The Shadow Dragon Steps are a sort of agility technique that makes one's presence fainter and speed faster. One could say it was a tailor made technique for assassins.
As Long Ming immersed himself in practice, Mu Qinglian and Ling'er arrived. Mu Qinglian raised her brows when she saw Long Ming practicing in the courtyard.
Although she didn't know what sort of technique Long Ming was practicing, she could see his moves were sharp and flawless. It was simple yet effective.
" Ah, Miss Mu, You arrived."
Long Ming wiped his sweat as he looked at her. Mu Qinglian nodded as she beckoned Long Ming. He boarded the flying carriage with them as the carriage flew across the sky.
" Well, I think Ling'er already told a bit about our Four Seasons Valley?" Mu Qinglian asked.
" Currently, We are going to the main pavilion of Four Seasons Valley. Remember to stay low and not offend anyone."
" Well, Of course. I won't let Fairy Mu's name get ruined."
Long Ming smiled. Mu Qinglian blushed a bit when she heard that.
Long Ming was surprised when she saw a string of Fragrant Yin Qi entering his body from Mu Qinglian. Moreover, It was extremely pure. Even a slight amount already filled his Fragrant Yin Petal. It even grew a bit more.
' Does that mean the more beautiful and powerful the female, the more powerful the Fragrant Yin Qi will be?' Long Ming assumed.
' But, Isn't this kinda weird… Why did Mu Qinglian get such feelings for me?" Long Ming rubbed his cheeks as he thought inwardly.
' Could it be… I already charmed this lady?'
' Damn, This Young Master got a peerless rizz after all.' Long Ming flicked his hair as he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
'" Were you thinking anything weird?" Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as her eyes narrowed.
" No, Nothing at all." Long Ming hurriedly spoke. Long Ming saw outside as he could feel the speed of the flying carriage.
He had to admit, even though those flying beasts were carrying it, it was very smooth and fast at the same time.
" Actually, Where are we going?"
" Something fun?" Mu Qinglian chuckled lightly as she rubbed her chin. Soon, The carriage descended, and they all got off at the pavilion.
" As you know, Almost 90% of disciples of Four Season Valley are female. As for the remaining 10% male population, only a few of them are powerful. The rest of them are for various chores."
Mu Qinglian explained as she asked Long Ming to follow her. For the first time, Long Ming looked at his surroundings with awe.
There are green mountains and lush gardens everywhere. Not to mention, the light azure colored stone path looked very clean and beautiful.
The surrounding floating buildings were guarded by powerful cultivators. Not to mention, he could see the faint barrier around them.
But the most important thing here…was naturally the flock of beautiful women.
Although Mu Qinglian was still the most beautiful one here, Long Ming couldn't help but eye the passing girls. Each of them could easily become a top model on Earth.
But, the girls also sneak peeks at Long Ming as he was simply too handsome and excluding a divine charm.
" Four Season Valley must be a man's dream." Long Ming muttered.
Mu Qinglian took Long Ming to a building and Long Ming was shocked. Although the building looked majestic from the outside, it looked even more from the inside.
Long Ming could see the inside of the building was large as a football field. It was way bigger than it looked from the outside. Long Ming guessed that they probably used some Spatial Formations.
" This… Such a magnificent place."
Long Ming took a deep breath as he followed Mu Qinglian. " Miss Mu, Where are we going?"
" Just a little testing." Mu Qinglian spoke.
Soon, They arrived at a place. A middle aged lady was dozing off as Mu Qinglian couldn't help but cough.
" Saintess of Four Seasons Valley is with a young man? It will certainly create an upheaval if people hear about this."
Mu Qinglian chuckled when she heard the lady. " Since when I got affected by people's opinion, Elder Cai?"
Elder Cai opened her eyes as she laughed. Long Ming could feel that Elder Cai must be a beauty of her own generation. Even though she looked aged now, Long Ming could feel a charm around her.
But Long Ming also knew an Elder in such places was the most terrifying person. So, He had to remain respectful to Elder Cai to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
" Speak, Why you came here? Shouldn't you be getting ready for Imperial Tournament?" Elder Cai asked.
Mu Qinglian looked at Long Ming as he understood. Long Ming bowed as he cupped his fist.
" Long Ming greets Elder Cai. I heard many disciples praising your name."
" Hoho, Boy, You got quite a glib tongue." Elder Cai chuckled. " Most of the disciples don't even talk with me. And you say they were praising me?"
Long Ming chuckled as he kept his head lowered. Elder Cai rubbed her chin as she looked at Mu Qinglian.
" You wish to test him?"
" Yes."
Elder Cai got up and stretched her body. " Well, I don't have much to do anyway. Long Ming, is it?"
Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Long Ming. " What an interesting fellow. Your cultivation base… I can only see a hazy fog."
" This is just a cheap trick, Elder Cai." Long Ming spoke politely.
" Here, Place your palm on this orb and channel a bit of energy." Elder Cai spoke.
Long Ming understood the test immediately.
Isn't this the test where one could test one's cultivation aptitude? Most of the time, the protagonist shows low results.
But then, they explode the orb one after another, giving face slaps to all those who looked him down.
Long Ming nodded as he placed his palm on the orb.
' Explode! Explode the orb!'
' Even if you don't explode, give me at least the top attribute!'
The crystal orb started to glow with light as Long Ming channeled his True Qi in it. Soon, The orb started to glow with white light.
It was the purest possible white light.
" This… White light?"
Elder Cai was surprised. Even Mu Qinglian couldn't help but rib her eyes.
" White light? Is it that amazing?"
Long Ming asked in an excited tone. Elder Cai laughed.
" Indeed, You can say it is amazing" Elder Cai nodded.
" Across the years, It is the worst cultivation aptitude I saw."
Long Ming's smiling face turned stiff when he heard Elder Cai. " Wo-Worst? Are you sure?"
Both Mu Qinglian and Elder Cai nodded. " White is the worst color."
Both Mu Qinglian and Long Ming were shocked. Mu Qinglian was shocked because it was a stark contrast to his performance in the Literary Meeting.
How can Long Ming produce such Dao Phenomenon if his cultivation aptitude is worst?
However, Mu Qinglian knew that the testing orb didn't malfunctioned. So, she thought of another idea.
" Elder Cai, This is just an ordinary test, right? I know there are many other tests." Mu Qinglian spoke.
Long Ming was already feeling bitter when he saw the result. However, Mu Qinglian's words gave him a bit of hope.
Elder Cai raised her brows. " This is the simplest and easiest test. Are you sure he can do the harder ones?"
" Well, We don't lack time anyway, right?"
However, at that moment, An old lady came to the pavilion with an angry face.
Long Ming got scared when he saw what the old lady was carrying.
" Wow…such size…"
What could be the massive thing...heh
