Li Ming naturally wouldn't regard the so-called Blood God as some kind of evil god. In this world, many so-called gods are likely just powerful humans or powerful martial artists.
No matter how strong they are, they all started from being weak and grew stronger.
Lu Tian said in a deep voice:
"Rather than saying that the other party is a Martial God, it is more accurate to say that he may be a part of a Martial God powerhouse."
"A portion?"
Li Ming was somewhat shocked. The Blood God had created quite a few Martial Saints, and the sect leader was even a First-Rank Celestial Martial Saint, incredibly powerful.
So this Blood God is only a part of the Martial God powerhouse?
Lu Tian nodded and continued:
"You've heard of the concept of a Martial Saint reincarnated. In fact, after a Martial Saint at the First-Rank Celestial level dies, their descendants can indeed awaken some of their past life's memories and bloodline power... And those stronger than Martial Saints even possess a trace of immortality; death is not their end."
"This Blood God is most likely the remnant soul or obsession left behind by a deceased martial god. We don't know his true identity, but his strength is unfathomable. You should be careful."
"Okay, thank you for clearing up my doubts, sir."
Li Ming nodded solemnly, then pondered for a moment and said:
"I will refrain from running around for the time being and focus on breaking through to the Refining Spirit Grandmaster level first."
"Oh? Don't take this lightly."
Li Ming's words made Lu Tian think to himself, "What do you mean by not running around to break through to the Refinement of Spirit Realm? So, breaking through to a major realm just requires not running around?"
Back when he broke through to the Spirit Refinement Realm, he was extremely cautious and faced numerous dangers before finally stepping into it.
After all, the Refining Spirit Realm is a huge hurdle in martial arts, requiring not only a solid foundation but also a great test of one's character.
"Hehe, I've experienced quite a few life-or-death battles these past few days and gained a lot of insights. I just need to improve my cultivation a bit, and it won't be difficult for me to step into the Refining Spirit Realm."
Li Ming stood tall and straight, a faint smile on his face, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
If outsiders heard this, who knows what they would think.
The threshold between life and death is not easy for many martial artists; it requires thorough preparation and breakthroughs under favorable conditions.
Upon hearing Li Ming's confident words, Lu Tian felt a sense of defeat, but it quickly turned into joy. Li Ming was about to break through again, which was a good thing!
Such talent means his future is limitless. I underestimated him. Not only is his combat strength amazing, but his cultivation is also advancing by leaps and bounds. Perhaps my future depends on this young man in front of me.
Suppressing his surprise and joy, Lu Tian maintained a calm and composed expression, trying his best not to let Li Ming notice anything unusual and to maintain the dignity of a superior.
Although it's hard to say about their strength, and he's probably no match for Li Ming, Li Ming is still his subordinate, isn't he?
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Lu Tian said "good" three times, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, he ultimately did not speak.
Afterwards, Lu Tian imparted a lot of experience to Li Ming on breaking through to the Spirit Refinement Realm, and then sent Li Ming away.
Li Ming bowed in thanks, then turned and left.
Watching Li Ming's departing figure, Lu Tian shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh:
"I'm getting old... I can't understand today's young people anymore."
...
After leaving the chief constable's office, several constables immediately surrounded him. They were not there to interrogate him, but the fervent look in their eyes still left Li Ming feeling somewhat helpless.
"Brother Li, how strong are Lu Lishen and Cao Lang? I think your ranking on the Human Ranking is about to jump up again!"
"It is truly our good fortune that Brother Li has come to our Cangyang Six Doors!"
"You did something so earth-shattering, and you didn't even invite us brothers along. You have to treat us to a meal and have a good talk with us."
Seeing the eager looks in their eyes, Li Ming briefly explained how he had defeated the two men.
The others nodded in agreement.
He pulled Li Ming aside and promised to treat him to a meal, explaining in detail that they would drink until they were completely drunk.
Li Ming laughed and said, "Of course, we won't leave until we're drunk."
These men were the constables who had stormed the Lin family with him in the past, and the leader of them was Wang Chong, whom he had previously greatly admired.
They had helped Li Ming a lot in the past few days, obtaining detailed information about many missions through their connections. In return, Li Ming shared a lot of the credit with them.
Over time, they developed a good relationship, and these people openly and secretly regarded Li Ming as a superior and an elder brother.
Although Wang Chong was born into the prestigious Wang family of Cangyang, he did not have the arrogance typical of scions of noble families. Instead, he was very down-to-earth, honest, and generous, and had now become his number one henchman.
Previously, Li Ming had taken on many missions on the Six Doors mission list and completed them quickly, which caused some controversy among some people in the Six Doors. After all, Li Ming's strength made them look incompetent, and people's praise seemed to be given to Li Ming alone.
Seeing this situation, Wang Chong was even more anxious than Li Ming, saying bluntly that these people were all cowards and extremely stupid.
This led to numerous fights with various people.
Li Ming also read the other person's entry and considered him a good friend, often going out for meals and drinks together.
Name: Wang Chong
[Realm Level: Golden Core Stage Six]

"You've been quite diligent in your cultivation these days!"
Seeing that Wang Chong's cultivation had been breaking through quite frequently lately, Li Ming joked.
Wang Chong chuckled and whispered:
"Of course, the clan saw that I was doing very well in the Six Doors, and the clan's reputation had improved a lot, so they rewarded me with a lot of resources."
In fact, Wang Chong knew in his heart that it wasn't just because he had made many contributions and had a good reputation in the Six Doors, but also because many people in the Wang family valued him more because of his friendship with Li Ming.
From the bottom of his heart, he also greatly admired Li Ming.
The group arrived at Cangyang County, at the foot of Wangxian Tower.
This restaurant is incredibly tall, and it is said that one can see the immortals in the sky by looking up, hence the name Wangxianlou (Looking-at-Immortals Tower).
It is the most upscale restaurant in Cangyang County and even several surrounding counties. The head chefs are all martial artists with extraordinary cultivation, and the food they make is all top-quality spiritual food, which is even only open to martial artists.
This thirteen-story building, like a pagoda, is located in the most prosperous area of the inner city of Cangyang County. You can see this tall building as soon as you look up.
When Li Ming and his companions arrived at the restaurant's front desk, the manager immediately recognized Li Ming's identity, beamed with joy, and stood up to say, "It is truly an honor for Wangxian Restaurant to have Lord Li here!"
"Where should we eat?"
Before Li Ming could speak, Wang Chong behind him laughed:
"We can just eat and drink on the lower three floors, there's no need for Brother Li to spend money."
Dining on the upper floors of Wangxianlou usually requires reservations, which is quite troublesome and very expensive.
Although they wanted to rip off Li Ming, the fact that he came to Wangxianlou was already beyond their expectations, so they naturally didn't plan to go up a few floors to eat.
At that moment, another voice came.
"Since Lord Li is a guest at Wangxian Tower, he has already condescended to go down three floors. Why not prepare a feast on the top floor instead? We will cover all the expenses ourselves."
Upon hearing this voice, the manager, without suspecting anything, immediately nodded and bowed.
Upon hearing the voice, Li Ming looked over and saw that the speaker was dressed in a brocade robe, with an air of wealth and nobility about him. The person who came was none other than the head manager of Wangxian Tower.
The owner of Wangxianlou personally welcomed him, which was something Li Ming had not expected.
It should be noted that when Chief Constable Lu Tian arrived, the shopkeeper did not personally receive him.
To Li Ming's surprise, the other party was actually a Grandmaster of the Refining Spirit Realm, whose cultivation was even higher than that of Cao Lang.
