The next day.
Li Mingru woke up as usual. After waking up, he found himself a little hungry, so he went to the orchard not far from the medicinal field and picked some wild fruits to eat.
Over the years, he has rarely cooked rice or porridge because he is too lazy to do it and eats wild fruits when he is hungry.
This is the fruit orchard planted by the Yunmeng Sect, with hundreds of varieties.
At first, I thought it was some kind of magical fruit or elixir, but after eating it, I found that it didn't have much effect and only satisfied my hunger, so I stopped taking it seriously.
Eat when you're hungry, until you're full.
The black dog ate almost the same food as Li Ming; it ate whatever he ate.
After eating, the black dog was too lazy to move and lay down under the tree roots to sleep soundly. Li Ming put his hand on the dog's front paw to check its pulse, to see why the dog had not yet developed intelligence.
Once the dog develops its intelligence, it can speak, and he won't need to talk to himself all day.
Unexpectedly, the method to awaken the black dog's intelligence on the first floor of the library was of no help to him. Li Ming had no choice but to give up on treating the black dog, leave the orchard and head back towards the peach blossom forest.
A gentle breeze swept by, swirling up the peach blossoms on the ground.
In Li Ming's eyes, the curled-up peach blossoms gradually formed a stunning figure, which was none other than Empress Wu Xiao of the Wu Dynasty.
"Boring." Li Ming felt that she was like a persistent ghost, and he even dreamed about her last night, dreaming that she was flirting with him. "Could it be that I haven't seen a beautiful woman in a long time, so I keep thinking about her?"
"If I had a phone here, I could open TikTok, scroll through a few videos of pretty girls, and then I'd definitely forget about her."
Li Ming waved his hand to disperse the swirling peach blossoms, then sat cross-legged on the ground covered with peach blossoms and began his daily cultivation.
He had nothing else to do besides cultivating.
Time flies, day after day, year after year.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.
For the past hundred years, besides cultivating, he has been receiving all sorts of people who have fallen into the Yunmeng Sect and casually offering them a little help.
First, there is Zhao Ling'er, a descendant of Nuwa and a woman who coexists with humans, blessed by heaven.
She was originally just a girl living in seclusion, but she could not escape the tricks of fate. She went through countless tribulations in the mortal world, and in the end, in order to destroy the Moon Worshiping Water Demon Beast, she resolutely perished with it.
Then I fell here.
Li Ming used a miraculous herb to revive her.
They left smoothly one day later.

Secondly, there is Long Kui, the princess of the ancient Jiang Kingdom and the younger sister of Jing Tian's previous incarnation, Long Yang. She jumped into the sword-forging furnace after her country was destroyed and her family perished, becoming a ghost residing in the demon sword.
Longkui has a dual personality; she has blue hair and wears blue clothes, is gentle as water, and is shy and quiet.
Hongkui, with red hair and red clothes, has a strong, fiery, and outspoken personality.
They all ultimately sacrificed themselves for Jing Tian.
They fell into the Yunmeng Sect and were on the verge of their souls being scattered. Li Ming used his spiritual power to stabilize their souls, allowing them to return to their original state and reshape their bodies with lotus roots.
I left one day later.

Next, there's Wu Dalang.
The eldest son of the Wu family, named Wu Dalang, was from Qinghe County, Hebei Province. He lost both his parents at a young age and raised his brother Wu Song with great difficulty. He made a living by selling steamed buns and married Pan Jinlian.
Because of his short stature, he often faced ridicule from his neighbors and felt somewhat inferior. One day, while selling steamed buns, he accidentally fell here.
Li Ming gave him a wild fruit that could make him grow taller. After eating it, his body became strong and he possessed the strength of nine oxen and two tigers.
If you leave after 24 hours, you will be rewarded with Qi Refining Level 10 and the "Cooking Pancake Recipe" on the dragon-patterned wooden plaque.
The fourth character is Pan Jinlian, who is pregnant.
At that time, Li Ming was cultivating, trying to break through to a higher level of the "Qi Refining Technique". Suddenly, two figures fell into the peach blossom forest: one was the pregnant Pan Jinlian, and the other was Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing chased after the pregnant Pan Jinlian, his face full of lewdness.
When he fell to this spot, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings and continued to chase after her, reaching out his evil claws to try and take advantage of the pregnant Pan Jinlian.
Pan Jinlian struggled and cried for help.
Ximen Qing continued, attempting to force himself on her.
Then, he was knocked unconscious by Li Ming's spiritual power.
Through Pan Jinlian's description, we learn that Wu Dalang, like Wu Song, has become a constable. Ximen Qing saw her once and, coveting her beauty, planned to take advantage of even pregnant women.
One day later, Pan Jinlian left.
The dragon-patterned wooden plaque rewards you with Qi Refining Level 10 and a book, "Forty-Eight Techniques".
The fifth person to fall is Wang Bo, a famous poet in the early Tang Dynasty, who, along with Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, and Luo Bingwang, is known as one of the "Four Great Poets of the Early Tang Dynasty".
Wang Bo was the foremost of the Four Masters, and his masterpiece "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" amazed the world. The line "The sunset glows and the lone wild goose flies together; the autumn water blends with the vast sky" has become a classic.
Such a talented poet drowned during a trip back to his hometown to visit his father.
He should have died of shock, but he fell into the Yunmeng Sect and was rescued by Li Ming.
The dragon-patterned wooden plaque rewards you with Qi Refining Level 10 and a Spring and Autumn Brush.
The sixth figure, who was said to be comparable to a god despite being a mortal, was Zuo Qianhu, in an era when treacherous officials were in power, chaos reigned, and the people suffered greatly.
He was just a mortal, yet even demons and ghosts feared him.
After he left, the dragon-patterned wooden plaque rewarded him with 10 levels of Qi Refining and nine willow-leaf knives.
...
The seventy-eighth character says she comes from Tushan and her name is Honghong. The dragon-patterned wooden plaque rewards her with Qi Refining Level 10 and the Immortal Technique Fox Mind Technique.
The seventy-ninth character is Wang Quanfugui. The dragon-patterned wooden plaque rewards him with Qi Refining Level 10 and the Immortal Technique "One Sword Opens the Heavens".
The eightieth character is Dongfang Yuechu. The dragon-patterned wooden plaque rewards him with Qi Refining Level 10 and the Immortal Dream-Making Technique.
...
For the past hundred years, Li Ming has stayed in the Yunmeng Sect, where he has met people from different worlds, including historical figures, novel characters, and comic book characters.
Each character has a different personality and traits.
However, without exception, they all encountered some problems.
Li Ming merely offered them guidance and assistance, or spoiled the plot for them, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Therefore, this century has been quite fulfilling.
Different people came over to chat with him.
To everyone's surprise, the withered tree in front of the pavilion has sprouted nearly a hundred green shoots over the past century, radiating unprecedented vitality.
He always had a premonition that this tree was destined for greatness, perhaps it really could connect all the heavens and the myriad worlds.
That's the feeling he gets.
Of course, this is just a feeling, and whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait and see.
For a hundred years, the black dog still couldn't develop intelligence. Sometimes it could understand what he was saying, and sometimes it couldn't. In short, it was not only bizarre but also very strange.
However, it was somewhat unexpected that this dog, having lived for a hundred years, showed no signs of aging or illness.
In fact, the greatest gains in the past century can be attributed to three things.
The first thing was that his "Qi Cultivation Techniques" had reached an astonishing level.
Do you know how many floors there are?
It's simply unimaginable.
