Qingshicheng, Li Family Compound.

This was five days after the destruction of the Green Demon Society.

Li Ming sat upright in the backyard, under a large, lush tree.

At this point, he naturally changed his residence.

You can't wrong yourself, no matter who else you're wronged!

This place was originally the Zhao family compound, a property belonging to a member of the Zhao family. It was located in the inner city and was very luxurious.

The mansion was planted with many precious flowers and plants, and the decoration was exquisite.

Now, the swallows that once graced the halls of noble families have flown into the homes of ordinary people.

This Zhao family compound, now owned by a different person, should be called the Li family compound.

Li Ming could only sigh, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

Don't underestimate a young person's potential.

Li Ming held a fist-sized, bright red fruit in his hand.

This fruit is called the Crimson Blood Fruit. It has extraordinary medicinal effects, such as relaxing muscles and bones and tempering the skin. It is most suitable for use by martial artists of the lower three ranks.

It has a high market value, and if applied topically, it can help maintain skin vitality and give it a hydrated, radiant glow.

Therefore, some women from aristocratic families especially loved this item.

To reward Li Ming for his achievements in suppressing bandits and demons, the Six Doors naturally rewarded him with a bunch of cultivation resources, among which were several Crimson Blood Fruits.

Eat it in one bite.

It tasted great and was very juicy.

After eating it, I felt refreshed and invigorated.

But that's not important.

Li Ming gently wiped a ring on his thumb. The ring was made of green jade and looked like an ordinary jade ring.

However, this item is not as simple as it seems; it is the legendary spatial ring.

[Space Ring]

[Rank: Special Spiritual Artifact]

[Entry: Storage (Blue)]

In order to retain Li Ming, this genius, the Six Doors went to great lengths this time.

These days, Li Ming has been catching up on a lot of secrets and has learned a lot about many things.

Take the history of this world as an example. Countless years ago, the path of immortality seemed to be the mainstream of this world. Seeking immortality and asking questions was what people wanted to do. It was a glorious era. At that time, cultivation was more difficult than it is now. People without talent might never be able to even get started.

After a great calamity of an era.

It is said that even the lofty and supreme Golden Immortals have fallen to the mortal world, and the path of immortality seems to be blocked. An era of Dharma decline has arrived, and countless years have passed. Martial arts have been born, drawing on the path of immortality, but in a way that is more in line with the development of the times.

Various supernatural powers and strange arts emerged one after another.

Storage treasures were naturally developed, but even the lowest-level storage bag was quite valuable.

The small ring in Li Ming's hand may not be considered a rare treasure, but it is still priceless. Moreover, it is made of a special material and cannot be destroyed unless attacked within a spatial dimension. It is worth noting that if it is broken, the contents inside may disappear.

This blue-level storage item has a considerable amount of space inside, but according to Li Ming's rough estimate, it's about the same size as the bathroom in his previous life. Of course, his previous life was just an ordinary family.

For him, storing the resources needed for his spiritual practice and his property was more than enough.

In addition, the Six Doors also rewarded him with a lot of cultivation resources as a reward for his ranking on the Human Ranking.

This can be considered a perk for geniuses.

Looking at the storage ring, it was as if they had seen through layers of mist and finally seen the neatly arranged storage space.

There weren't too many things inside; some of them were valuables he had confiscated from his home. After being inventoried and sorted out over the past few days, they had finally all ended up in his hands.

The Zhao family has been based here for many years, and has accumulated two hundred years of history. The Zhao family patriarch was a grandmaster, and has also accumulated some wealth over the years.

Li Ming didn't want the land deeds; instead, he exchanged them for cash and martial arts resources.

The neatly arranged silver notes totaled a full 20,000 taels.

There was also a considerable amount of gold and silver treasures piled up.

Among them were numerous martial arts manuals.

Palm techniques, fist techniques, finger techniques, sword techniques, knife techniques, body techniques, internal energy techniques...

There are quite a few varieties, but none of them are of very high quality; they are all of the lower three grades. There are only two master-level martial arts techniques of the middle three grades.

Li Ming didn't care much about such ordinary martial arts. He wasn't lacking in ordinary techniques these days; there were plenty of good things within the Six Doors.

His achievements are enough to allow him to choose a top-tier master martial art.

After scanning through the books one by one, Li Ming finally focused his attention on the main event.

These two manuals are clearly very exquisite and are in pristine condition.

Bull Demon Body Technique

Bull Demon's Mighty Fist

According to the person who delivered them, these two martial arts techniques have a remarkable history.

It comes from a major lineage.

It is the legacy of the Heavenly Saint Sect, a top-tier sect that was destroyed during the previous dynasty.

The Heavenly Saint Sect is divided into seven lineages, among which the core lineage of the Overlords inherits the Celestial Overlord Technique, a divine martial art.

This Heavenly Overlord Technique was a divine skill in its entirety, aiming directly at the first rank or above, but it has long been lost.

It is divided into nine chapters, each of which can be considered a masterpiece.

One of the incomplete, top-tier martial arts manuals, titled "Bull Demon Visualization Diagram," has been revealed, leading to the development of numerous martial arts techniques.

"Bull Demon Body Technique" and "Bull Demon Mighty Fist" are two of the most famous martial arts among them.

However, although these two martial arts are incredibly powerful, famous, and easy to obtain.

The only downside is that it's difficult!

As a fragment of an unparalleled divine skill, even if it is only a unique technique, it is still the most top-tier unique technique.

Whether the master-level martial arts derived from this are strong or not is hard to say, because very few people have mastered them.

But it will definitely be difficult.

Because the core visualization diagram has been obtained by some unknown force, cultivation is extremely difficult without it.

After the Zhao family obtained it, almost no one managed to repair it.

Even if someone understands it, they don't actually achieve anything significant in their practice.

However, Li Ming still planned to challenge the difficulty of this cultivation.

After all, if all else fails, there's always the option of having some special skills.

Moreover, the Six Doors provided a lot of scarce resources, including many things that even grandmasters could use.

This includes the Great Elixir for body refinement.

This was something he specifically asked for.

Although Li Ming had made great contributions, he wouldn't have received so much.

It was also because the destruction of the Cangzhou Qingmo Society had come to an end, but the impact of this event was only just beginning to take effect.

A lowly constable from the Six Doors in a small town is invincible within his own realm and can even slay a grandmaster against a higher realm.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion naturally recorded this matter immediately.

The Six Doors were also certain that Li Ming would make it onto the list of successful candidates!

Naturally, one must win people's hearts.

"Wow, Brother Li, you've become the number one genius in Cangzhou!"

Lin Ping handed over a list of people directly.

Li Ming took it, searched for a long time, and finally found his place.

Eighty-first on the list: Li Ming from Cangzhou.

Title: Azure Dragon Subduing Demons

Cultivation level: Rank 7 Condensed Qi

Ultimate skills: Azure Dragon Nine-Turn Blade, Unknown Movement Technique, Mountain-Shaking Fist...

Battle record: Ninth-rank Body Tempering, he defeated the fifth-rank Qi Refining Elder of the Eighth Rank; Eighth-rank Qi Refining, he defeated the seventh-rank Condensed Qi White Ghost; he defeated Zhang Tian; he was the first place winner of the Cangyang Wealth Gathering Conference; and a seventh-rank Condensed Qi Ghost defeated Ning Buyuan, the Grandmaster of the Qingmo Society, from Baiyun Temple.

The list of 108 people is arranged according to the thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends.

Anyone who makes it onto the list of top martial artists is considered a potential martial saint and has the potential to become one in the future.

But that's just about aptitude; whether he can actually become a Martial Saint is still highly uncertain.

In the position of the Earthly Fiend, one can only say there is hope.

Being among the top thirty-six Heavenly Spirits is highly likely.

The top ten on the Human Ranking receive entirely different treatment; they are not only future Martial Saints, but also peerless Martial Saints with the potential to break through to the second rank of Martial Dao.

As for the Supreme Martial Saint of the First Rank, that is like a true immortal on land, and cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Even among those who topped the list throughout history, very few reached the first-rank realm.

Li Ming flipped through the pages and immediately spotted the peerless genius who had dominated the rankings for years and had been number one on the human list for several years.

Martial Arts Rank Four, Limitless Universe, Myriad Universes.

It suppressed all the heroes of the world, making them unable to raise their heads.

The top spot on the list represents the leader of an era.

In literature, there is no first place; in martial arts, there is no second.

This is the inevitable trend, this is the favor of Heaven.

In the extraordinary world, human nature is not useless. When all beings recognize you, the fortunes of humanity will favor you.

Aside from those reclusive forces who might not be willing to compete for this ranking, everyone from royal geniuses to members of unorthodox sects and aristocratic families will vie for it.

Li Ming was also aware that his ranking of 81st was somewhat exaggerated.

He had also taken a shortcut to kill Ning Buyuan.

Now, he needs to nurture his sword technique again, and it will be difficult for him to unleash such a powerful attack in a short period of time.

Perhaps he could consider the art of sword nurturing...

"It seems that Lin Xun of the Lin family has been squeezed out?"

When Li Ming flipped to the last page, he found that the 108th person had been replaced.

It's probably because he was on the list that the postponement occurred.

Li Ming scratched his head. This shouldn't be his fault, right?

The competition on the Human Ranking is that brutal. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion doesn't care what family or faction you come from. If you don't have outstanding performance or achievements, it's perfectly normal for newcomers to replace the old ones.
