The blue light lasted for a long time, but it never dissipated. Instead, it tended to become stronger and stronger.
For some reason, Lu Ming suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Although the light looked beautiful, it required the burning of spiritual energy as a price. The originally vigorous spiritual energy in his body was like a leaking pot, and was quickly absorbed by the colorful glass stone at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Ming gradually felt unwell and his face became paler. He wanted to withdraw his hand that was attached to the glass stone, but for some reason, his body suddenly became out of control. Too much spiritual energy was drained from his body, causing his whole body to tremble. His lips gradually turned from white to purple, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. His body began to shake due to weakness.
233 was so anxious that he shouted: "Oh no, someone has set a trap for us!"
The people around seemed to have noticed Lu Ming's abnormality. Seeing that his face was pale, no one came forward to ask him. They just stood there looking at each other, not knowing what had happened for a moment.
He Yuanqi was slightly stunned and asked: "What's going on?"
Yun Ji also noticed Lu Ming's abnormality and asked in confusion: "After the test, the glass stone will automatically turn off its light, and you can withdraw your hand. Your son has just completed the test, why..."
Yun Ji was interrupted by a sudden voice before he finished speaking. The voice was filled with disbelief and fear, and shouted to everyone: "Look! There is black air mixed in the blue light! This... this is the color that only demon cultivators can produce!"
Everyone was shocked and looked towards Lu Ming. They saw that there were indeed some black lusters in the light blue luster. The black gas became more and more, and finally began to devour the originally pure and flawless light blue luster. After a while, the black gas wrapped around Lu Ming, and even his figure was a little unclear. It looked very weird from a distance.
Everyone present was shocked. Anyone with some common sense knew that no matter how qualified or how high your status was, if you abandoned the orthodox way of cultivating immortals and instead took the path of evil cultivation that killed people and stole inner elixir in order to find a shortcut, you would be despised by the entire cultivation world and would be collectively attacked by the orthodox cultivation world. Most people would not choose to take this rugged path unless they had no other choice. Now it seemed that the young master's abundant spiritual energy and excellent bones were all because he had fallen into the ranks of evil cultivators.
Yun Ji looked at Lu Ming, his eyes filled with shock and anger, and asked sternly: "What's going on!"
He Yuanqi didn't say anything. His eyes were dark as he stared at Lu Ming without saying a word.
Not far away, He Qingqiu and Liu Xuyun exchanged glances, and the smug look in their eyes was clear. Liu Xuyun had a malicious smile on his face and winked at He Qingqiu, who nodded immediately. While everyone was talking, he suddenly shouted angrily: "How can the He family allow this evil cultivator to live in the world and ruin his reputation? Kill him! Kill He Qingci!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes were filled with anger, and their disgust for the demon cultivator surged from the bottom of their hearts, and they all echoed. Several elders nearby hurriedly said to He Yuanqi: "The demon cultivator has been a disgrace to the cultivation world since ancient times. If we don't kill him today, he will definitely kill people to steal the elixir and harm the people in the future! Sect leader, while this demon cultivator is now controlled by the glass stone, please quickly give the order to kill him!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chouyan's face suddenly turned pale, and she immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "My husband! Qing Ci has always been well-behaved and obedient, with a kind heart. How could he practice such evil methods! Please consider our past relationship and don't take his life so rashly!"
He Yuanqi pondered for a moment, glanced coldly at the elder, walked forward to help up Xu Chouyan who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly said to everyone: "This matter has not yet been concluded, and it is very strange. Before the investigation is clear, no one should mention it again. If Qing Ci has indeed fallen into the devil's way, I will kill him myself."
The elder wanted to say something else, but when he met He Yuanqi's cold gaze, he shuddered in fear and dared not speak again.
On this side, although Lu Ming couldn't move his body, he heard what was said just now. He was sure that He Qingci was still the bullied young master of the He family before he arrived. He couldn't even use his spiritual energy, so where did the devil come from? If he guessed correctly, someone must have played tricks in this.
233 said hurriedly: "Master, there seems to be something wrong with the black stone tablet."
Most of the spiritual energy in Lu Ming's body was drained, but the glass stone still refused to let him go. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and said with a pale face: "What should I do now?"
233 was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Although I can pull the master into the space, if you disappear out of thin air in front of everyone, it will confirm your crime as a demon cultivator. The only way now is to destroy this glass stone!"
Lu Ming nodded and said in a deep voice: "Tell me what to do."
233 said: "I can stop the flow of time here for one second and quickly bring you to my storage space. While twenty-four hours pass in this space, exactly one second passes in the outside world. Therefore, the master must strive to learn how to flexibly use spiritual energy within twenty-four hours. Only by reaching the highest value of energy in an instant and releasing it, can this glass stone be completely destroyed in one move."
"Twenty-four hours?" Lu Ming pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "If that's the case, then let's get started!"
233 nodded and began to recite silently: "Start the program... enter hyperspace mode!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming suddenly felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and his whole body felt numb and painful as if he had been electrocuted. There was a buzzing sound in his brain and a rustling sound of wind came from his ears. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot.
Lu Ming felt that his body was falling continuously, and it was not until a long time later that the falling stopped. His body landed on a soft object, and the numbness and pain like an electric shock just now also disappeared for the most part.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked around, and a huge white space appeared before his eyes.
There was almost nothing in this space. It was all white as far as the eye could see. It was so quiet that there was no sound at all. Even one could hear one's own breathing.
Is this the storage space that 233 mentioned?
Just as Lu Ming was about to call out 233, a hole suddenly appeared in the space just a few meters away from him, and a green creature flew straight towards him in a parabola.
Lu Ming subconsciously took two steps back, and the creature fell heavily to the ground, letting out a shrill scream.
Lu Ming looked closely and found that it was the little green fat dragon. He hurriedly walked forward, squatted down and asked guiltily: "Are you okay?"
233 raised his little head, looked at his master with resentment, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, can I lower my pain perception a little? I feel like the motherboard in my brain is about to catch fire!"
Lu Ming's mouth twitched as he said, "Then could you not appear so suddenly every time?"
Little Feilong got up from the ground, rubbed his hurt face aggrievedly, and said: "Because after entering the storage space, the place you are teleported to is random. In fact, I don't want this to happen."
Lu Ming glanced helplessly at the stupid creature and decided not to continue discussing this topic with it. He looked around and wondered, "Why is there nothing in here?"
233 explained: "This space is specially used for your cultivation, and there is another one for storing items."
After saying that, 233 stretched out his claws and waved them forward. Then, a green box appeared in Lu Ming's hand.
233 said seriously: "In the box there is a manual for quick cultivation and a bottle of high-quality foundation-building pills. As the saying goes, tall buildings start from the ground, and cultivation and refining of immortals start from the foundation. He Qingci has taken a lot of foundation-building pills before. According to your current condition, you don't need to build a foundation for a hundred days, but you will need to spend a few days to learn how to use them flexibly. Master, the deadline is 24 hours. Once the time is up, you will be automatically ejected from the space. Please hurry up, there is only one chance!"
Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "In that case, I will begin."
Lu Ming sat down cross-legged, took a foundation-building pill, then opened the book on cultivation techniques and began to study it carefully.
