After reaching the third level of Qi Refining, Li Shiming felt that the speed of increasing the spiritual energy vortex through practicing the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' had significantly decreased.

It would take him at least two years to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining by practicing with the Spirit Gathering Disk every day.

However, the spiritual power he could use increased greatly, which gave him the idea of ​​leaving his own mark on the top-grade wooden sword.

"Draw a dragon!" As his fingers tapped lightly on the wooden sword, the rune array inside the sword appeared faintly. He swept his fingers over the rune array, and the 'Drawing the Dragon's Eyes Technique' made the rune array clearer.

"Highlight the finishing touch!" Three bright spots appeared on the rune array of the wooden sword, and he pointed his fingers at each one.

"So your name is Qingyuan Mujian!" Li Shiming held the small wooden sword with a smile on his face.

He tried to channel the spiritual power in his body into the Green Kite Wooden Sword, and instantly half of his spiritual power was drawn away by the Green Kite Wooden Sword.

Just when he was surprised that the Green Kite Wood Sword absorbed so much spiritual power, he suddenly found that the Green Kite Wood Sword seemed to be leaving his hand.

He let go of his hand, and the small green kite wooden sword floated in the air. He did not use the "object driving technique", the green kite wooden sword floated completely on its own.

"Go!" Relying on the connection between him and the Green Kite Wooden Sword, he tried to wave his hand, and the Green Kite Wooden Sword shot out.

Just at this moment, the last half of his spiritual power was consumed again, and could only barely ensure the operation of the spiritual energy vortex in his body.

He quickly stopped controlling the Qingyuan Wooden Sword, which had already penetrated into the soil.

Fortunately, he did not have enough spiritual power, otherwise he would have to dig the ground if he wanted to find the Green Kite Wood Sword.

"Is this considered a flying sword?" Li Shiming thought about the feeling of using the Green Kite Wooden Sword just now. He couldn't help but think of the scene where Master Cui used the sword light. Although the two people's use of swords could not be compared at all, the Green Kite Wooden Sword did fly according to his ideas when it was in the air.

In the days that followed, Li Shiming had to add a few more tasks that consumed his spiritual energy every day. In addition to the fixed consumption of the "Spring Breeze and Rain Art", he also had to perform the "Painting the Dragon's Finishing Touch Art".

The Fiery Sword, the Green Kite Wood Sword, and a white robe called the 'Qingfeng Robe'. Fortunately, after reaching the third level of Qi Refining, the spiritual power in his body more than doubled, allowing him to sustain such consumption.

As his connection with the several magical weapons grew stronger, it became easier for him to use the Fiery Flame Sword, and he was able to hold the Fiery Flame Sword and use it as a normal weapon.

Of course, the Fiery Sword still could not be controlled freely by the 'Object Driving Technique', and he roughly guessed the reason.

The Fiery Sword should be a handheld low-grade magical weapon. If you want to use it like a flying sword, you will probably need to learn the corresponding flying sword techniques.

After Li Shiming's connection with the Green Kite Wooden Sword deepened, he could control the Green Kite Wooden Sword to fly, but the number of times it could fly was still limited to once.

After the first attack, more than half of the spiritual power in his body was consumed and he could no longer sustain a second attack.

But the attack of the Green Kite Wooden Sword is his strongest means of attack at present. Anyway, he feels that the flying attack of the Green Kite Wooden Sword is unstoppable.

The Qingfeng Cloth, however, was not a defensive weapon as he had originally imagined, but rather a magical weapon for acceleration.

When he activated the Qingfeng Robe, he was as if he had been blessed by the 'Light Body Technique'.

To be honest, he was not satisfied with the effect. Although he had two defensive magic weapons, one low-grade shield magic weapon and one medium-grade shield magic weapon, they all bore the mark of the Hao family and could not be used here.

He could only try to refine the mid-grade shield magic weapon for his own use after leaving Zhongdu.

Until the end of September, the revenge from Xuanming Sect that Li Shiming had imagined did not come. It seemed as if the Xuanming Sect was unaware that some of their monks had died in Zhongdu City.

On the last night of September, he called Siqin, Moyan and Zhang Guanshi.

Si Qin knew part of his affairs. When Mo Yan and Manager Zhang came to the study, they saw Si Qin with tears in her eyes.

"Manager Zhang, this is the letter I left for my father. If I don't come back tomorrow, please give it to my father for me!" Li Shiming took out the envelope and said to Manager Zhang.

"Master, what's this?" Manager Zhang took the envelope at a loss, not knowing what had happened.

Of course, he was not a fool and he also discovered the peculiarity of the young master.

The young master won the third place in the imperial examination and the emperor gave him a lot of rewards, but he only appointed him as an official. This is very unreasonable.

If the young master was not favored by the emperor, then why did he receive a reward far exceeding that which the third place in the imperial examination deserved?

"I have communicated with my father through letters and am planning to join the immortal cultivation sect. My father has agreed to this!" Li Shiming explained with a smile.

It can be said that his father Li Wenyuan was extremely good to him. After hearing that he had decided to join a sect of immortal cultivation, he expressed his concern in his reply letter but did not object.

In Li Wenyuan's view, his son has grown up and has the right to choose his own path.

Just like he broke with the Zhongdu Li family for his wife and went to Nanling Prefecture.

Speaking of the Zhongdu Li family, after Li Shiming received the "Jinshi Jidi" plaque, an elder from the clan came and wanted to bring the "Jinshi Jidi" plaque back to the clan ancestral hall.

However, Li Shiming did not even let the elder into his house. As long as his father Li Wenyuan did not change his mind, it would be impossible for him to have any contact with the Zhongdu Li family.

Manager Zhang was a little confused. How could he not have heard of the legend of immortals when he was in Zhongdu?

Although the news has been blocked, the incident in which dozens of families in the city were wiped out some time ago could not be completely blocked. It was said that it was caused by the battle between immortals.

"Mo Yan, you should learn well from Manager Zhang and be more calm!" Li Shiming turned to Mo Yan and instructed.

"Young Master!" Mo Yan responded with a gloomy expression.

Li Shiming was considering making him a steward, and he believed that Steward Zhang also understood this.

"Siqin, I left some silver for you, and in the letter I wrote to your father, I asked him to find a good family for you when you grow up!" He finally looked at Siqin and said softly.

The person he was most worried about was Siqin. If the sect did not forbid bringing mortals, he would have wanted to keep Siqin by his side.

"Master, I can't bear to leave you!" Siqin burst into tears and grabbed Li Shiming's clothes and choked.

"Young Master, it's not like I can't come back. In three to five years at most, I'll be able to go out of the sect to do some work, and then I'll come back to see you!" Li Shiming comforted him softly.

The thousand taels of silver he left for Siqin, as well as several precious jewelry, were all ordinary items obtained from the monks' storage bags.

He couldn't accompany Siqin, and this was the only thing he could do.

"Be sure to come back to see me!" Siqin murmured in a very soft voice.

Her voice was so soft that neither Mo Yan nor Manager Zhang heard it. However, Li Shiming had stronger five senses and heard it clearly.
