Chapter 452 Lu Ming, An Honest Man
In the burial ground.
Against the bright and clean surroundings, the stretch of blood red looked very dazzling.
As the Swordsmen approached the area, they could sense a terrifying aura pounce at them. It was filled with brutality!
âBe careful!â Meng Shisan warned.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Energy whizzed past them!
There was no wind but because of the unstable brutal energy and aura, a huge wind belt was formed!
Energy was blowing.
A Swordsman tried to enter but was blown back by the brutal energy.
His entire body was pierced with pain.
âThis isâŚâ
The Swordsman was shocked.
BloodâŚâ
Meng Shisan had a grave expression.
He knew that this location was not ordinary but did not expect it to be filled with brutal energy and the smell of blood.
âWhat is happening?â
âIt seems that someone died here.â
âThe blood of the dead cultivator contains terrifying energy. After thousands of years of evolution, it formed this uncanny energy storm.â
âThat is possible.â
The Swordsmen discussed amongst themselves.
They had widened their horizons.
âWait a minute.â
Meng Shisan nodded slightly. âIâll contact the Swordsman Association.â
He communicated with the Swordsman Association calmly. Through data exchange, they began to make use of machines to analyze the cause of this storm and also ways to deal with it.
Deeâ
Deeâ
The communication device shone brightly.
After a long whileâŚ
Analyses were collected.
The association provided a suggestion: Since there is no danger, deal with it as you please.
âNo dangerâŚâ
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
Nonsense!
You guys had already robbed the entire area. How could you possibly not know about this place!
It seemed that the big shot Swordsmen had fooled their juniors into âcleaning upâ or checking if there were any dangersâŚ
They were really vicious!
However, the present situation did not have anything to do with Lu Ming.
As such, he hid amongst the group in a low-key manner, intending to be a salted fish. He just had to follow the team to the uncharted territory later on.
Right then.
Buzzâ
Meng Shisan absorbed some of the energy lightly.
He furrowed his brows slightly.
After a long whileâŚ
He shook his head.
âIt is such a pity.â
Meng Shisan felt somewhat regretful.
After countless years of accumulation, the energy was rich and astounding! It was a hundred times more powerful than that of the outside world! If they could absorb it, their abilities would definitely improve!
It was a pity, the energy was too brutal!
He could not take it anymore after absorbing a little of it.
âLetâs go.â
Meng Shisan got up. âWeâll take a detour this way.â
âOkay.â
Everyone followed behind him closely.
However, just at that moment, An Mingdong, who had been watching them from the side, suddenly said, âOld Meng, what if the energy can be absorbed?â
âDo you have a way to do that?â
Meng Shisanâs eyes lit up.
âI donât. But someone else can.â
An Mingdong smiled with relish.
âCan you elaborate?â
Meng Shisan was hopeful.
Although An Mingdong had an ordinary talent, he was older and more experienced than them. Perhaps he really had a solution.
âItâs very simple.
âCards!â
An Mingdong said in a low voice, âI checked earlier. In the card library, there seems to be a type of card that can purify these energies!â
âCard?â
Meng Shisan and the group were stunned. âAre you telling us⌠to buy cards?â
Where were they?
Legacy site!
Although they still had service, basically, they could only communicate via messages. It was impossible to send them cards!
âOf course not!â
An Mingdong smiled with interest. âDonât forget. Although we are Swordsmen, someone with us knows how to create cards.â
Everyone glanced at Lu Ming simultaneously.
Eh?
Lu Ming, who had been âskivingâ, looked dumbstruck.
Wait a minute.
How did I get involved?!
âCan this really be done?â Meng Shisan said with a low voice.
âHuh?â
Lu Ming scratched his head.
CardsâŚ
He did not have that kind of card. However, in the card library⌠He remembered reading related information about it before. A card like that really existed⌠However, itâŚ
âMaybe?â
Lu Ming was vague and ambiguous.
âOld An?â
Puzzled, Meng Shisan looked at An Mingdong.
âItâs okay.
âI found it.â
An Mingdong smiled and looked at Lu Ming. He displayed the card he had found on the screen.
ââ
Card name: Purifying Light
Card rating: Five-star
Quality: Surmounting
Type: Supplement
Function: It can purify the energy of a small area. It can purify impurities and mitigate brutal energy. Normally, it is used as an aid in stabilizing oneâs cultivation.
Experimental outcome, as follows:
It has once purifiedâŚ
ââ
Shush!
Everyoneâs eyes lit up immediately.
They saw the data in the experimental outcome. It was usable where they were! This meant that⌠If they could purify with this card⌠It would work!!!
âThink about it.â
An Mingdongâs hoarse voice could be heard. âAll of you should know very clearly why weâre here⌠The rewards here might not be as good as we imagine them to be.
âRight nowâŚ
âThere is a chance right before us!
âIf we can absorb all this energy, our combat abilities will improve by leaps and bounds. We will be able to save many years of cultivation. Donât tell me you donât want that?!â
At this point of the conversation, everyone was tempted.
Yes.
This energyâŚ
âLu Ming.
âWe will hand this important responsibility of creating the cards to you.â
An Mingdong smiled faintly.
âIâŚâ
Lu Ming opened his mouth.
âLu MingâŚâ
An Mingdong smiled faintly. âItâll be a little hard for you to create cards for everyone⌠Everyone will remember this favor from youâŚ
âBesidesâŚ
âYou can also benefit from improving your ability.
âThis is a legacy site. We have to help each other out,â he said calmly.
âYes.
âDonât worry, Lu Ming. If you help me create the card, Iâll owe you a favor in the future.â
âRight, tell me if anyone bullies you in the future,â one by one, the Swordsmen said.
âNo, IâŚâ Lu Ming said.
âWhat?
âYouâre not willing to help us?â
An Mingdong said with a low voice, âOr are you looking down on Swordsmen?â
âItâs not thatâŚâ
Lu Ming was helpless. âIâŚâ
âSince thatâs not the case, donât reject us.â
An Mingdong smiled faintly. âSince we all get along and are in this operation together, we are one team. I hope that everyone will not keep good things to themselves or fight against each other, like people do in other legacy sites.â
âTrue.â
The Swordsmen were deeply convinced.
Lu Ming felt very helpless.
âHehe.â
An Mingdong smiled faintly. There was a cold glint in his eyes.
Youngsters are youngsters.
They are too green!
He was once a disciple of the conservatives!
//
Therefore, he received some news. For example, the collapse of the conservatives⌠As a result, three of their quotas had been canceled! Furthermore⌠There was also the situation of the research and development department.
If they had not received the news in time, knelt and begged for the disciplesâ forgiveness and compensated them greatlyâŚ. The compensation was even greater than that demanded by the headquarters!
Most probably, he would already be dead meat!
Snort!
Lu MingâŚ
He hated him to the core.
Although it was rumored that Lu Ming did that accidentally, seemingly, the appearance of this scoundrel had wrecked his plan of reaching seven-star!
He was obstructing his path of cultivation. This was a huge feud!
As for Lu MingâŚ
Snort!
Although he had spent most of his time cultivating, amongst the few news that he was aware of, he had seen many reviews about Lu MingâŚ
This boy has shocking talent. He is kind, pure and innocent and his looks are unrivaledâŚ
Wait a minute.
All of these were comments about Lu Ming.
FurthermoreâŚ
Occasionally, they also heard their seniors giving similar comments about Lu Ming. While they felt indignant, they also had some knowledge of Lu Ming.
This was a genius.
This was a super handsome guy.
Similarly.
This was also⌠an honest person.
It was that kind of honest people in your mind!
In this day and age, ,in this cruel era, werenât the so-called kindness, pure and innocent heart qualities of honest people?! These kinds of people resembled Virgin Mary most!
ThereforeâŚ
He just had to communicate with him with a smile.
For exampleâŚ
That person in the school who often helped his classmate to buy takeawaysâŚ
For exampleâŚ
That kind of person who bought something from the affectionate salesperson at the mall because he could not bear to reject the salesperson, and then felt sullen when he reached homeâŚ
That was the general case.
They would buy things that they did not want or agree to conditions that they did not want to agree to because they did not know how to reject, or they would feel embarrassed to reject the other party.
This is an honest person.
ObviouslyâŚ
In all the news reports and from what they know about Lu Ming today, this was a typical, honest man.
Look.
He had already interrupted Lu Mingâs words a few times.
He had already seen Lu Mingâs helpless and âcould not rejectâ expressionâŚ
âI, I agree.â
Lu Ming scratched his head, looking slightly troubled. âActually, Iâm very willing to help everyone create cards but I have a problem nowâŚâ
âTell us!â
A victorious smile emerged on An Mingdongâs face. âEveryone will help to resolve this.â
âRight!â the Swordsmen said.
âWellâŚâ
Lu Ming felt somewhat embarrassed. âActually, I canât afford to buy this cardâŚâ
Shush!
The whole world was silent.
An Mingdongâs expression froze.
The Swordsmen also came to their senses after a long time. C-canât afford?
âArenât you the president of the association!â
Meng Shisan looked dumbstruck.
âYes.â
Lu Ming nodded. âTherefore, I used up all my money for the association⌠Why do you think I want to invent those cards? Itâs because I am poorâŚ
âBecause I canât afford to buy the cardsâŚ
âI can only research and create them myself.
âOur association often uses our own cards⌠Ah, right. Youâve heard of our associationâs food delivery business before⌠Thatâs because weâre poorâŚ
âWe can only get the disciples to earn money for cultivation.â
Lu Ming sounded very apologetic.
The Swordsmen looked dumbstruck.
Damn!
Was this the case?
Upon pondering, that seemed to be the case⌠Lu Mingâs cards were Fruit Ninja and LeviathanâŚ
SoâŚ
The Swordsmen glanced at one another.
They looked at that Purifying Light Card design plan, the word âsurmounting levelâ marked on it, and the terrifying price!!!
Crap!
This was so expensive!
Even they could not afford it, much less Lu Ming!
ThisâŚ
The Swordsmen glanced at one another. They could not bear to give up this energy. Although this card was expensive, the price was not super high!
After a long whileâŚ
The Swordsmen gritted their teeth.
âFor exampleâŚ
âShould we cough up some money to buy this?â
âRight, although this card is expensive, it is still affordable if we share the costs.â
The Swordsmen conversed amongst themselves.
After a long whileâŚ
They finished communicating and decided to fork out a sum of money each.
âCome here.
âAn Mingdong, itâs your turn.â
Meng Shisan took out the communication device and told An Mingdong to transfer the money.
The expression on An Mingdongâs old face froze. The wrinkles on his face deepened.
Wait a minute.
How did it turn out like this?!
Clearly, he wanted to do Lu Ming in and make Lu Ming service them like a coolie. Why did they have to fork out money to buy the design plan for Lu Ming now?!
To hell with it!
âIâŚâ
An Mingdong instinctively wanted to decline.
âYouâre the one who suggested this.â
Meng Shisan cast him an odd look. âDonât tell me you want to free-ride?â
âHow is that possible?â
An Mingdong smiled wryly. âI didnât bring a lot of money.â
âItâs alright.â
Meng Shisan aimed the screen at him. âThere is the Internet here. Just scan the QR code. That will do.â
An Mingdong was speechless.
After a long whileâŚ
He felt the pinch as he transferred all the money in his little gold chest.
Damn!
He would not have picked such an expensive card if he had known that this would happen!
In the endâŚ
With the funding by 10 Swordsmen, they purchased the design plan of that expensive surmounting Purifying Light Card and gifted it to Lu Ming.
âI will work hard!â
Lu Ming was in high spirits. âBelieve me!â
âOkay.â
The Swordsmen were filled with anticipation.
SoâŚ
Lu Ming began to formally research this card.
To be honest.
This was his first time openly researching cards under the protection of 10 peak six-stars at a legacy site. That feelingâŚ
It was awesome!
âŚ
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Lu Ming put the pen to the card rapidly.
Although this was a surmounting card, to him, who had almost completed researching top-notch five-star cards, it was not a problem at all!
As suchâŚ
Even the Swordsmen could tell that Lu Ming was researching rapidly.
After merely two hoursâŚ
Lu Mingâs research progress had already exceeded 10%!
AfterwardâŚ
His energy was depleted.
He sat cross-legged and began to recover his energy gradually. After five hours, he recovered and began to create cards again. Another two hours passed.
His energy was depleted.
Lu Ming began to recover his energy again.
The Swordsmen felt exasperated.
âDonât you have any Energy Cards?â
An Mingdong could not help but ask.
âYes.â
Lu Ming felt somewhat embarrassed. âHowever, I only have one card and I intend to use it during critical times. Furthermore, using one Energy Card doesnât help the current situation much.â
âButâŚâ
The Swordsmen were suffering from emotional meltdowns.
Damn it! You canât simply recover on the spot like that either, right?!
How long would that take?!
They took a closer look. At such a recovery rate, Lu Ming would need about five hours to recover. He would need about seven hours to complete everything!
This was under the condition without any sleep and rest!
It was too slow!
âHe needs two hours to create cards and five hours to recover his energyâŚâ
Meng Shisan smiled bitterly. âAre Sword Card Masters that slow in recovery your energy?â
Swordsmen only needed half an hour to recover their energy fully!
âHmm.â
Lu Ming felt somewhat embarrassed. âPerhaps itâs because we have different vocation core structures.â
Alright.
What else could the Swordsmen say?
Lu Ming was helping them research very seriously!
HoweverâŚ
As time passed, they were shocked to discover that Lu Mingâs research speed was decreasing rapidly⌠It was getting slower and slower, and he became increasingly tiredâŚ
Oh.
Lu Ming had not rested for an entire day.
He was exhausted.
âAre the physiques of Sword Card Masters that weak?â
One Swordsman looked dumbstruck.
âDo you think that everyone is like us?â
Another Swordsman said disdainfully, âAlthough they are Sword Card Masters, basically, they are Card Creators. They have ordinary physiques and feeling tired is normal.â
âSigh.â
The Swordsmen sighed.
Seeing that the speed was getting slower and slower, they had to think of solutions.
âThis wonât do!â
âIt is too slow!â
âRight.â
The Swordsmen gritted their teeth and decided to contribute their own Energy Cards. Everyone was quite well to do and many of them had prepared a number of Energy Cards.
âHow can I accept this?â
Lu Ming seemingly sobered up, although he waved his hands continuously.
âTake them.â
Meng Shisan patted his shoulders. âI know you are kind-hearted and not willing to accept everyoneâs good intent. However, this is a team operationâŚ
âYou have to take them in order to speed up the research,â Meng Shishan pretended to threaten and said.
ââŚ. Okay.â
Lu Ming felt very touched. Clenching his teeth, he said, âIâll help you research this as soon as possible!â
SoâŚ
With the help of some six-star cards, Lu Mingâs research speed increased rapidly. Researching without any rest and sleep, he managed to complete the research in just one day!
AfterwardâŚ
The card was created under everyoneâs hopeful gaze.
Buzzâ
Blue lights flashed across the place.
A five-star surmounting card was born.
âWhoâs going to try it first?â
Meng Shisan was thrilled. He glanced at An Mingdong, âOld An?â
Cough.
An Mingdong coughed.
At the thought that he had considerable prestige, he declined, âGive it to the children first.â
âOkay.â
Meng Shisan said agreeably, âOld An is right. In that case, letâs do this according to age. The youngest one, please get ready.â
SoâŚ
He glanced at the youngest Swordsman. âItâs you.â
âOkay.â
That Swordsman was excited.
An Mingdong looked dumbstruck.
Wait a minute.
According to ageâŚ
Wouldnât he be the last one then?
He only wanted to let someone else have the chance first⌠but he did not say that he wanted to be the last to go!
Right then.
The Swordsmen were thrilled and ready.
Buzzâ
Lights and shadow flashed.
Meng Shisan threw that card to the blood-colored area. Faint lights flashed. The card actually opened up a purified area within that stretch of blood color.
It was very small.
It was very clean.
âGo ahead.â
Meng Shisan patted that Swordsmanâs shoulder.
SoâŚ
That Swordsman stepped into the purified area.
Buzzâ
He began to cultivate.
Shush!
Shush!
Energy surged.
People could clearly see that brutal energy becoming calm after the purification.
After a long whileâŚ
When he opened his eyes, his energy had already increased by 2,000 points. This was just within a short time frame of two minutes!
âI have 12,000 points of energy now!â
That Swordsman was elated.
In order to dash to higher levels, he had never expanded his energy. Now, he had just reached peak six-star and this fortuitous encounter had increased his energy by 2,000 points!
This was solid peak six-star energy!
His combat ability improved greatly!
Snort! Snort!
Those few guys in his cohort with 10,000 thousand points of energyâŚ.
âIt is very powerful!â
The Swordsmen felt thrilled at the sight of this.
âHowâs it?â
Meng Shisan smiled faintly.
âIâm at my upper limit.â
That Swordsman felt somewhat embarrassed.
With an endless supply of energy, he could only increase his energy by 2,000 points. If he were to increase it any further, the stability of his energy structure might be affected!
This was because his foundation was not strong enough.
Those energies had not integrated with his body.
This was something that could be easily understood. It was only when the energy in the body integrated with oneself that he could improve again.
SoâŚ
He moved to the side and sat cross-legged, beginning to digest the improved ability.
âNext.â
Meng Shisan smiled faintly.
âYes.â
Another Swordsman stepped forward.
âŚ
After a long whileâŚ
One by one, the Swordsmen stepped forward to improve their ability.
Finally.
It was Meng Shisanâs turn.
He went into the area and cultivated for a total of four minutes, increasing his energy by 4,000 points. His combat ability improved tremendously and he also broke the improvement record of Swordsmen!
He had increased his energy from 20,000 to 24,000 points!
It was scary!
âIt is very powerful!â
The Swordsmen were stunned.
He was indeed the team leader of this operation.
His foundationâŚ
âHumph!â
An Mingdong merely sneered.
In terms of foundation, no one could surpass him!
Although he was already old, he also had the strongest foundation. Coupled with this kind of good fortuneâŚ
PerhapsâŚ
He would be able to turn the tides.
Alright.
He would lead by example and show these young Swordsmen what a strong foundation was, and what power meant!
SoâŚ
He got up and was prepared to enter the place.
âAh!â
Meng Shisan suddenly slapped his head. âLu Ming, you have not cultivated, right?â
âHuh?â
Lu Ming waved his hands. âThere is no hurry. Iâll go last.â
âSigh.
âThis wonât do.â
Meng Shisan said seriously, âOld An and me should be the last ones. We almost forgot about you. Go ahead. We already said we will do it according to age and we have to adhere to that.â
âAlright.â
Lu Ming could not decline and he entered the area.
HoweverâŚ
To be honest.
He had really intended to be the last one to enterâŚ
WellâŚ
BecauseâŚ
Shush!
Lu Ming entered the purified area.
Buzzâ
Energy surged.
He began to cultivate.
Under the impact of the rich energy, his cultivation speed had increased to more than a hundred times that of the outside world. With the effect of Purifying Light Card, he cultivated at a faster speed!
WellâŚ
Lu Mingâs heart stirred slightly.
âXiao-Xiaojian?â
âUnderstood.â
Shush!
From Lu Mingâs body, Xiao-Xiaojian went underground silently.
Over there.
Xiao-Xiaojian placed 10 Whirlpool Cards. Besides engulfing Xiao-Xiaojian, that energy swamped into the Whirlpool CardsâŚ
Outside.
Lu Mingâs figure swayed.
No one noticed that his shadow was also shaking slightly.
Wowâ
Wowâ
A massive amount of energy shrouded him.
After two minutes, the shadow drifted and Xiao-Xiaojian returned to the card bag with 10 cards that contained countless energy.
The shadow shook and returned.
Lu Ming opened his eyes and displayed the aura adjusted by âXiao-Xiao-Xiaojianâ.
âOhâŚâ
â11,000 points!â
The Swordsmen swept their glance across him.
Lu Ming only increased his energy by 1,000 points in two minutes!
It was very weak.
However, at the thought that Lu Ming was only a five-star, they were not surprised. Combat ability was one matter whereas the energy foundation was another.
This was neutralization.
The amount of energy one absorbs would depend on the amount of energy that one had!
WellâŚ
âFairly good.â
Meng Shisan said, âYouâre not a six-star yet and you donât need too much energy. Otherwise, your breakthroughs will be very slow. 1,000 points are enough.â
âHmm.â
Lu Ming agreed.
âOld An.
âGo ahead,â Meng Shisan turned around and told An Mingdong.
âOkay.â
An Mingdong smiled faintly.
He was not angry.
Since he had decided to be a nice guy, there was no need for him to vent his unhappiness just because he was the last one to go. It would not do him any good.
SoâŚ
He entered the purified area with a smile.
HoweverâŚ
Just as he was prepared to cultivate, the smile on his face suddenly frozeâŚ
Wait a minute.
Where is the energy?!!!
