The patrol disciple took Li Zhiming back to the first floor.

"I can walk by myself, no need to bother me." Li Zhiming waved his hand.

"Okay, then Senior Brother Li, please take care of yourself, rest more during this period, and don't move around. I will go back and report first."

The patrol disciple turned and left after saying this.

After the patrolling disciples left, Li Zhiming quickened his pace and returned to his residence.

"I have to pretend to be injured now. I have to be quiet for at least half a month."

"I can't let other people see that my injury is fake, otherwise I won't be able to clear myself from it."

Li Zhiming thought that he couldn't let anyone discover his secret.

This time, taking a huge risk to fish out the corpse of an eighth-grade fox demon can be considered a certain reward.

First, I got a good reward for collecting corpses.

Secondly, he was directly promoted to patrol disciple.

With the identity of a patrol disciple, he could avoid a lot of trouble.

This is the first step to your resurgence.

[Qi and blood reach the threshold]

[True Qi value reaches the threshold]

[Realm: Early eighth stage → Middle eighth stage]

Li Zhiming completed his promotion again.

Normally, it would take at least a year or so to cultivate from the early eighth level to the middle eighth level.

Even if one has rich experience in cultivation and does not rely on external forces, it will take at least two months to enter the middle stage of the eighth level.

“This adventure paid off big time.”

Li Zhiming was very excited.

His mind moved, and his attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

[Host: Li Zhiming]

[Realm: Eighth Stage of Martial Arts - Middle Stage]

[Age: 16 years old]

[Lifespan: 162]

【Charm: max】

【Luck: 94】

[Strength Points: 10]

[Martial Arts: Wandering Cloud Dance (beginner), Falling Flower Palm (beginner), Collapsing Fist (beginner), Chaotic Shadow Step (beginner)]

[Kung Fu: Qingyang Jue (Mastery)]

[Secret Method: Taichu Heart Sutra - Fragments (Introduction)]

[Spiritual Weapon: Blue Bone Blade (Tang Sword - Low Grade)]

[Others: Sky Fox Blood Talisman (made from the blood of the fox clan’s ancestors, stimulated by the blood of their descendants, it can burst out with mysterious power and has the effect of breaking the restrictions of formations)]

Life expectancy has increased significantly.

In addition to the rewards for collecting corpses, as one's own cultivation level improves, one's lifespan will also increase.

The charm has reached its peak.

However, Li Zhiming doesn't care about this attribute.

Luck is a relatively critical point.

Sometimes, luck can change a person's life.

I hope that my luck value of 94 can bring me endless good luck.

"There are only ten reinforcement points. This thing is too difficult to obtain..."

Li Zhiming looked at the few reinforcement points he had left and felt a little embarrassed as if his wallet was empty.

Although this is Xuyuan Prison, corpses are not always available everywhere.

The first and second floors have the most corpses.

The people imprisoned in these two levels are not strong enough to resist the erosion of the seals and the evil death energy, and are more likely to die suddenly.

But it’s different further down, there are fewer and fewer people imprisoned, and more are powerful monsters and demons.

Their own aura is part of the Yin Sha death energy, and they are stronger and can live longer, so there are very few corpses.

"The system is not omnipotent. I have to work harder."

Li Zhiming whispered to himself, and then an idea came to his mind.

"System, add points!"

[Strength Points -6]

[Successful strengthening of Bengquan, entry level → mastery]

[Strength Points -4]

[Shadow Steps are enhanced successfully, entry level → mastered]

Li Zhiming closed his eyes and digested the cultivation experience that was integrated into his body.

The improvement of skills and martial arts will affect one's own realm.

He could clearly feel that certain changes had taken place in his body.

This is what it feels like to be stronger.

Relying on the large amount of blood and true energy obtained from collecting corpses previously, he was able to enter the middle stage of the eighth level.

Now the improvement of these two martial arts has allowed him to reach a higher level.

Although there was no breakthrough, it was still a small step forward and brought me closer to the late eighth level.

Late at night, Li Zhiming blew out the oil lamp in the room.

After a fierce battle, he was a little tired and needed some time to rest and adjust.

…

Two days later, in the eighth area of ​​the first floor of Xuyuan.

A lot of people gathered in Jiang Yuan's room.

In addition to himself, there are Chen Chong, Wang Junfei and others.

At this time, Wang Junfei was slumped in his chair.

He looked pale and thin, his eyes were dull, his lips were pale, and he looked like he was on the verge of death.

Although the fox demon's mind-bewitching poison stimulated his potential and allowed him to enter the middle stage of the ninth rank, the price was his life essence.

His life essence continued to drain away, and some healing medicines such as the Vitality Pill were completely ineffective.

If this continues, Wang Junfei will become a shriveled figure within three days.

"Brother Jiang, what should we do? My brother won't last more than three days at this rate!"

"What the hell is wrong with him?!"

Wang Zi paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

"I asked Elder Liu to take a look. It was the work of a fox demon. Elder Liu can't do anything about it for now."

"hateful!"

Wang Zi clenched his fists, but the fox demon was already dead and he had no way to take revenge.

"Although it was the fox demon who did it, all of this was caused by Li Zhiming. If he hadn't been against us all this time, none of this would have happened!"

Jiang Yuan replied, directly directing the blame towards Li Zhiming.

"Li Zhiming!"

Wang Zi gritted his teeth and was filled with anger.

"I want to ask him for an explanation!"

"Come...come back!" Wang Junfei shouted weakly.

"elder brother!"

“…”

Wang Junfei just shook his head and said nothing.

How could Wang Zi not know that his cousin wanted him to stop causing trouble for Li Zhiming?

He lowered his head, and reason overcame his anger.

Li Zhiming is now a patrol disciple. Not to mention himself, even Jiang Yuan may not be able to do anything to him.

What's more, Li Zhiming was promoted personally by the second-level guardian elder.

"Don't worry. Senior Sister Tian from the inner sect will be here today. She is knowledgeable and should be able to find a solution." Jiang Yuan said.

"That's right. When Senior Sister Tian comes, what about Li Zhiming being promoted to a patrol disciple?"

"Senior Sister Tian is the direct disciple of the Inner Sect's Baihua Peak. It will be easy for her to deal with him!" Chen Chong responded.

Wang Zi didn't say anything, just sat down silently.

Half an hour later, Tian Yaoyao arrived as expected.

She was wearing a blue dress that perfectly outlined her curvy figure.

She looked around, a look of disgust on her face.

The environment in Xuyuan Prison was indeed terrible. If she didn't want Li Zhiming's inheritance, she would never want to set foot here again.

"Meet Senior Sister Tian."

When Jiang Yuan saw Tian Yaoyao coming, he hurriedly stood up and greeted her with a smile, his face full of flattery.

"Please, Senior Sister Tian, ​​save my cousin."

Upon seeing this, Wang Zi knelt on one knee and bowed to make a request.

"What's going on?"

Tian Yaoyao frowned slightly.

"Jiang Yuan, tell me the situation."

"good."

Jiang Yuan began to tell what had happened in the past few days.

Tian Yaoyao's face became increasingly ugly.

By the time Jiang Yuan finished explaining the cause of the incident, her brows had already been furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character “川”.

"how so?"

She was filled with doubts.

Li Zhiming was promoted to patrol disciple for his contribution in catching monsters on the second floor.

Chen Chong, who was in the early stage of the ninth rank, was not his match. How was this possible?

At the beginning, she watched Li Zhiming’s cultivation being abolished by the sect’s Punishment Hall.

"No, it must be the inheritance in the ruins!"

Tian Yaoyao suddenly remembered something.

Li Zhiming can recover from his injuries and regain a certain level of strength in a short period of time.

This is obviously impossible to do without a great opportunity.

The only opportunity Li Zhiming had during this period was when he explored the ruins with him and obtained inheritance and treasures from it.

"Please, Senior Sister Tian, ​​save my cousin." Wang Zi requested again.

"Noisy."

Tian Yaoyao was in a bad mood at the moment. Wang Zi's nagging made her angry. She raised her hand and a stream of true energy shot out, knocking Wang Zi away.

“Cough cough cough…”

Wang Zi coughed twice, stood up, and dared not say anything.

Tian Yaoyao came in front of Wang Junfei and put her finger on his wrist.

"This is a witchcraft, a mind-enchanting witchcraft."

"Taking it can stimulate one's potential to the maximum extent, and increase one's strength dramatically, but in order for the Gu worm to maintain its life, it must devour the host's life essence."

"In short, this mind-control poison will burn the user's life."

"This is a method used by the evil cultivators of the demon race. They will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

"come out!"

While explaining, Tian Yaoyao activated the internal energy in her body and forced the poisonous insect out of Wang Junfei's body.

Wang Junfei's face suddenly changed, and a thumb-sized, dark and ugly worm spurted out of his nostrils.

Seeing this, Wang Zi stood up and walked over, stomping the insect to pieces with one foot, causing green juice to splash everywhere.

"Damn, damn bugs!"

Wang Zi crushed the bugs to pieces like a possessed man.

"Although the poison has come out, the life essence lost in his body cannot be restored without a magic pill or elixir."

"But don't worry, he still has at least three to five years to live."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Tian." Wang Zi bowed in thanks.

Tian Yaoyao turned and left, and Jiang Yuanze quickly followed.

"Sister Tian, ​​are you going back?"

"I'm going to find Li Zhiming."

"Do you need help?"

"Go back and stay here. You are a bunch of trash. You can't even deal with Li Zhiming." Tian Yaoyao said coldly.

“Understood.”

Jiang Yuan bowed his head and returned to his room.

"Damn it, I see that you are a direct disciple of the inner sect, so I won't bother with you. If you fall into my hands, I will make you call me daddy like crazy under my crotch!"

Jiang Yuan looked at Tian Yaoyao's back with an obscene look on his face. He fantasized that one day he would be able to conquer a woman like Tian Yaoyao and tame her as his own.
