"At this rate, it won't be long before I can return to the seventh level!"

Li Zhiming was extremely excited. He carried Cai Kun's body on his back and prepared to transport it out for disposal.

"Hey, you're still rolling up the mat for this traitor."

"For corpses like this, just throw them directly into the abyss. The dense evil death energy below will combine with the fierce airflow to form sharp air blades. These air blades will crush the corpse into pieces, which is more convenient than burning it with fire." The patrol guard reminded.

"Understood."

Li Zhiming came to the guardrail and saw a bottomless abyss below.

It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen except for the mist. Occasionally, the sound of howling wind could be heard.

He threw the body down, and the straw mat wrapped the stiff body and disappeared into the darkness.

"After you deal with the body, don't forget to clean the cell. You will then patrol Area 3 for two hours. I will come over to inspect during this time. Don't let me catch you slacking off."

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

The patrol officer gave a warning and left.

Each floor of Xuyuan Prison is divided into nine areas. Li Zhiming is a handyman in area three, so he only needs to work in area three.

Li Zhiming returned to the cell and continued to clean up the second body.

The storage bags or rings used to store items on the corpse were missing, obviously looted by the patrol guards or the elders who performed the autopsy.

When it came into the hands of their jailers, there was only a shriveled corpse and nothing could be found.

Li Zhiming started to work, still wrapping the body in a straw mat.

[Successfully collected the corpse of Hehuan Sect captive Wang Jiang, lifespan +2 years, reinforcement points +1, Qi and blood +999, Qi value +500. ]

Li Zhiming closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

His strength has improved, and although his realm has not been broken through, it is better than nothing.

"It seems that the reward should be related to the strength of the corpse when it was alive. If I want to get a richer reward, I have to find a way to go to the next level. However, the evil death energy becomes stronger and stronger with each level."

Li Zhiming was thinking in his heart.

He is now a warrior in the middle stage of the ninth rank and can live on this first level for a long time. Then he can find a way to get more vitality pills, which will not affect his realm and cultivation.

But if he wants to go on, the ninth rank is far from enough, he needs to become stronger.

With this thought in mind, Li Zhiming sat down cross-legged and began to study his panel.

[Host: Li Zhiming]

[Realm: Ninth Grade Martial Arts - Middle Stage]

[Age: 16 years old]

[Lifespan: 122]

【Charm: 96】

【Luck: 89】

[Strengthening points: 101]

[Martial Arts: Falling Flower Palm (not practiced), Collapsing Fist (not practiced), Chaotic Shadow Step (not practiced)]

[Kung Fu: Qingyang Jue (unpracticed)]

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

Because his physical condition has been reset, Li Zhiming is not practicing any martial arts now.

As for the secret method, it was not the secret method of the Zhenyuan Sect, but the inheritance that Tian Yaoyao had been trying hard to find.

After he obtained the inheritance stone in the ruins, the information in it was directly integrated into his mind, so Tian Yaoyao searched his whole body but couldn't find the inheritance.

"What's the use of this reinforcement point?"

Li Zhiming found a question mark behind the strengthening point and clicked it.

[Strengthening points can be used to upgrade the martial arts skills and secrets you are practicing. ]

"I see."

Li Zhiming decided to give it a try.

Only one reinforcement point is given for each corpse collection, which shows that reinforcement points should be a very scarce resource.

The grade of Falling Flower Palm is too low, there is no need to waste points on strengthening it.

The Bengquan and Luanyingbu are the inner sect's martial arts, among which Luanyingbu is a body movement martial art, at the advanced yellow level.

The Bengquan is an elementary Xuan-level boxing technique, and the Qingyang Jue is an elementary Xuan-level martial arts technique.

I have already practiced these once, and if I practice them again, I will be able to reach the mastery level in a month at most.

Therefore, Li Zhiming decided to use the strengthening points on the Taichu Heart Sutra.

This was obtained from the center of the ruins. The owner of the ruins was a first-class master. He only inherited one secret method as his own inheritance, which shows the importance of this secret method.

"Let's try it."

Li Zhiming clicked on the Taichu Heart Sutra, and a plus sign appeared behind it.

[One hundred reinforcement points are required. Do you want to upgrade? ]

"Fuck, you want a hundred?"

Li Zhiming's face twitched, and then he mentioned other martial arts and techniques.

[The upgrade of the Falling Flower Palm requires a reinforcement point. Do you want to upgrade? 】

[Shadow Step requires three reinforcement points. Do you want to upgrade? ]

[Four reinforcement points are required to upgrade the Bengquan. Do you want to upgrade? ]

[Qing Yang Jue requires five enhancement points. Do you want to upgrade? ]

Upon seeing this information, Li Zhiming took a breath of cold air. It was obvious that the Taichu Heart Sutra was much more precious than the inner sect's Xuan-level exercises.

The most important thing is that this is only a fragment.

No wonder Tian Yaoyao was so eager to obtain the inheritance in the ruins. It seemed that she must know some information related to this secret method.

Li Zhiming regained his composure and stopped thinking about it.

A plus sign appears after the Taichu Heart Sutra.

[Upgrading the Taichu Heart Sutra (fragment) requires one hundred reinforcement points. Do you want to upgrade? ]

【whether】

This time, Li Zhiming did not hesitate.

【yes】

With this simple decision, Li Zhiming's life began to change quietly.

A new era quietly began at this moment.

[Upgrade successful, reinforcement points -100, remaining: 1]

As the words appeared above his head, a deafening sound rang in Li Zhiming's ears.

The sound seemed to have spanned hundreds of thousands of years, coming down from the sky with vicissitudes and decay, shocking the mind!

[The Qi of the beginning of time can give birth to all things, can transform everything, can control the five elements, and can create all things of yin and yang. ]

This simple sentence weighed like a thousand pounds, making Li Zhiming feel dizzy.

After half an hour, the practice method of the Taichu Heart Sutra was gradually engraved into his mind.

"It can be said that the fundamental energy of this world is evolved from the primordial energy."

“The Primordial Qi cannot be cultivated unless one has an extraordinary comprehension ability. Without the help of a system, it will take at least ten years to get started, or even a lifetime to comprehend it.”

Li Zhiming felt deeply moved that he had truly found a priceless treasure in the ruins.

He opened his eyes and began to recite the mantra of the Taichu Heart Sutra.

Circles of golden words appeared on the back of his head. These words seemed to come alive, connecting into a string and sinking into his brows.

Then, a golden pattern in the form of a vortex slowly condensed and then disappeared.

[Added points successfully, Taichu Heart Sutra Volume 1 (Introduction)]

The first half of the Taichu Heart Sutra is about controlling the five elements. As the name suggests, after practicing it, one can control the attributes of the five elements.

Li Zhiming murmured in his heart, the Taichu Seal on his forehead appeared, and a pale white light filled his eyes.

At this moment, a magical force appeared in his vision.

This power appears in the form of a milky white mist, which is the primordial energy. It is hidden and invisible, and difficult for ordinary people to perceive.

The surrounding primordial energy was attracted and condensed into a white silk shape, gathering towards the center of Li Zhiming's eyebrows.

The true Qi in his body turned directly into nothingness, and the primordial Qi poured into his Dantian, replacing the true Qi.

The primordial energy filled his whole body, giving Li Zhiming an unprecedented sense of comfort, as if his soul had flown into the clouds.

"fire!"

Li Zhiming's mind moved, and the primordial energy in his body surged and transformed into the true energy he needed.

Under his control, red flame energy suddenly emerged from his palm.

"water!"

Li Zhiming stretched out his right palm, and the light blue water-attributed true qi condensed again.

It was incredible that the incompatible water qi and fire qi appeared in his body at the same time.

“It’s amazing!”

Li Zhiming was very excited.

Normally, a person can only master one attribute.

Only a very small number of people can master two or more attributes.

Li Zhiming's bone structure is wood, so he can only practice wood-attributed skills and thus cultivate wood-attributed true qi.

And now, he can control the five elements at will.

The wind, thunder, ice and lightning, which are known as rare attributes, are also evolved from the basic five elements.

The five elements are mutually generated and restrained. If he controls the five elements, he will always be at an advantage in battle.

"The Taichu Heart Sutra is truly wonderful!"

Li Zhiming put away his hands and his expression returned to calm.

He was only at the entry-level stage of the first half of the Taichu Heart Sutra, and his control over the Taichu Qi was still immature.

However, as you continue to practice, you will become more proficient at it.

The proficiency of skills, martial arts and secret techniques is divided into three levels: entry level, mastery and perfection.

I still have a long way to go. Even if I rely on the corpse collection system, it will take some time to accumulate strengthening points.

Li Zhiming tried to strengthen the Taichu Heart Sutra again.

[Taichu Heart Sutra Volume 1 (Introduction), upgrading requires 300 reinforcement points]

"Wow, three hundred?!"

Li Zhiming's face twitched. This was too much.

However, he said he understood that the only disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive.

For now, entry-level proficiency is definitely enough.

Moreover, he himself will also work hard to study the Taichu Heart Sutra. The improvement of his proficiency may be much slower than adding points, but it is better than nothing.

Li Zhiming stood up and found that all the discomfort in his body had disappeared.

He attached the primordial energy to his eyes, and was surprised to find that when the evil death energy approached him, he seemed to have met his natural enemy and fled in panic.

"The Primordial Qi is the grandfather of the grandfather of this Yinsha Qi..."

Li Zhiming let out a long sigh, lamenting that fate is unpredictable and fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

When he was happy, the woman he loved teamed up with his junior fellow apprentice to betray him.

And when he was most desperate and helpless, a cheat came from the sky to help him escape from the predicament temporarily.

Since God is blessing him, he can only do his best to make a career.

"Hehe, Tian Yaoyao and Qi Yang, I'm going to kill you all when I get out!"

A murderous look flashed in Li Zhiming's eyes, and then he picked up Wang Jiang's body.

As soon as I walked out of the cell, three people came towards me.

The burly young man in the lead had a fierce look on his face, and he was still shouting, "Where is Li Zhiming? Who is Li Zhiming? Come out and see me!"

"Who are you?" Li Zhiming temporarily put down the corpse in his hand.

"Um?"

"Where the hell did you come from, you little pawn? How dare you talk to me like that? Where is Li Zhiming? Get that kid Li Zhiming out here!" The burly man spoke in a domineering and arrogant tone.

"Noisy!"

Li Zhiming,

He suddenly attacked and kicked out as fast as lightning.

Bang~!

With a dull thud, the man as strong as an ox flew backwards and hit the wall heavily.

This guy looks strong, but he is just a low-level martial artist after all, and is no match for Li Zhiming.

“Cough cough cough…”

"You fucking..."

The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and wanted to stand up and fight back.

But the severe pain in his lower abdomen made him unable to get up again. The blow broke several of his ribs, one of which went straight through his belly, exposing the bloody bones!

“So… so strong!”

The two young men following the man looked at each other and took two steps back uncontrollably when they saw this.

This person moved so quickly that neither of them could see clearly how the other made his move.

The man lost his fighting ability and fell to the ground, grinning and asking in confusion: "Who are you?"

"I am Li Zhiming you are looking for. Tell me, who asked you to come? Was it that bitch Tian Yaoyao?" Li Zhiming asked expressionlessly.
