Tainted will

Chapter 67 Soaring Cultivation



After placing the soul-binding vow on Dong Mei, Bai Ming also placed several restrictions on her soul, along with a divine sense marker to keep track of her location. Bai Ming was vigilant to the core, he always considered the many possible outcomes before he did anything.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Bai Ming held a piece of jade in his palm. This piece of jade was gifted to him by Teng Zhe, it held all the information about the sect's facilities that a disciple needed to know.

The red lotus sect was well-known for its three treasure troves: Seven Divine Temples of earth, water, fire, wind, wood, lighting, and Scarlet. Secret land of Heaven and Earth, And the Mystic scarlet pond.

There are five Temple masters in each of the seven divine temples. They are some of the top-tier experts within the Red lotus sect with high levels of elemental path attainment. Temple Masters usually give lessons in the temples, sharing their understanding while also demonstrating some Martial Arts Techniques and giving disciples some advice. Disciples usually go there to improve their understanding of their respective elemental paths or to find answers to their problems in comprehending the great Dao of heavenly elements. After receiving guidance, disciples might get enlightened.

Although a top expert would try his best to teach someone, he was alone and studied only one aspect. If he encountered unfamiliar fields, he would not know how to instruct them.

In the red lotus sect, Seven Temples covered seven different kinds of Essence Realms of Heaven and Earth. Each temple had five powerful Temple Masters who had vast knowledge of their paths. Therefore, the disciples did not worry that they would encounter an unsolvable problem.

The temples each had five levels according to the attainment realms, starting from the master attainment realm to the great grandmaster attainment realm. And the cost for entering each level varied.

As for the Secret Land of Heaven and Earth; it is a special and helpful place for comprehending the Essence Realms of Heaven and Earth, if one wants to enter the Secret Land of Heaven and Earth, one needs to pay 10,000 points to get access to the palace, and then they can only stay inside for four hours each time.

As for the Mystic Scarlet pond, it was a pond filled with dense Scarlet qi energies. It was Heaven for cultivators who cultivate the Scarlet essence, especially for disciples of the red lotus sect where a huge number of cultivators cultivated with the help of the scarlet elemental essence.

Bai Ming was mulling over deeply, he had just finished going through a large portion of information in the jade slip and started planning out the best route for him.

"Senior, I have completed the task." Shortly after a feminine voice could be heard coming from outside the courtyard.

Bai Ming willed and all the formations stopped blocking Dong Mei's path, few breaths later she entered the room. Bai Ming had previously set up formations all around his residence, even top-tier spirit realm experts would need to spend an adequate amount of time to forcibly break in.

"Senior brother Yun, this Junior has brought you the treasure index from the lotus treasure pavilion. The names and prices of all the spirit pills, marital techniques, pill recipes, and both magical and natural treasures are recorded in it." Dong Mei smiled gently as she handed over the jade slip to Bai Ming.

Bai Ming soundlessly accepted the jade slip before scanning it with his divine sense. He carefully read all the Contents recorded within it, While Dong Mei quietly stood there fixedly staring at Bai Ming.

After nearly twenty minutes had flown by Bai Ming retracted his divine sense from the jade slip.

Bai Ming took a deep breath. His piercing gaze then landed on Dong Mei, he spoke in a calm voice, "40 grand spirit pills, tier-6 soul flag, tier-6 Demon beast Azure Phoenix corpse. Dozen Tier-6 healing and poison-resistance pills. Scarlet and lighting elemental birthing stones. Concealed Soul dagger technique, Wisdom soul wall technique, and soul search technique. Tier-4 Realm consolidation pills..." Dong mei's eyes revealed a serious look. But Bai Ming showed no signs of stopping, he went on and on for nearly two whole minutes, making Dong Mei's chest rise up and down as she took deep breaths.

"...And Base elements skill book. Hmm, that should be about it. Have you correctly remembered all the Items that I have named so far?" Bai Ming asked.

Dong Mei was dumbfounded. It took her a while to regain her senses, just listening to Bai Ming made her forehead sweat profusely. She looked at Bai Ming with a wry smile, "Senior, I have memorized them all."

"Good, give me your merit token." Bai Ming casually praised her before transferring almost all of his sect points into her merit token, after the transfer was carried out only 50,000 sect points were remaining in it. Bai Ming took out a stuffed pouch from his robes and passed it to Dong Mei and said, "Take this pouch, it contains nine million spirit stones and an enormous sum of treasures, convert them into the sect points. This should be enough to cover the payment"

Dong Mei obediently nodded, her eyelids were slightly trembling when she gazed at the huge sum of sect points in her merit token, greed involuntarily welled up in her heart but that was it, she had no other useless thoughts.

Bai Ming's astute gaze caught every minute change in her, he pondered for a second and lent her a tier-4 formation and his true disciple sect identification token. Even though no one would have any thoughts of acting openly in the sect, Bai Ming didn't want to take any chances.

Bai Ming waved his hand, gesturing for her to leave.

'Five months, I have five months. Within these five months, I have to develop in all aspects. With this set of grand spirit pills and realm consolidation pills, I can reach the peak of the spirit realm in one and a half months. Trying to break through into the Yin-Yang realm is a no-go since entering the Eccentric ancestor's land has a maximum cultivation base limit of half-step Yin-Yang void. Hmm, but I can use this time to learn all kinds of skills and complete the second form of self-sword technique and also incorporate the fire element into the self-sword formation.' Bai Ming thought secretly.

'It should take her a few hours to acquire all those treasures. In the meantime, I'll cultivate my body art.' Bai Ming then commenced processing the corpses he had previously acquired.

Bai Ming first cut open the corpses, then he pulled out all the bones from them before grinding them into tiny fragments. Next, he drained all the blood from the corpses before mashing all the organs with his bloody hands. Then Bai Ming dumped them separately into a huge tub and started to absorb them using the rotten blood arts.

His body was constantly demolished before being rebuilt, this cycle went on for two hours. After enduring two hours of inhumane pain, he ceased channeling the rotten blood art.

Bai Ming staggeringly stepped out, his every step left deep prints on the cold floor, crushing the white tiles.

Bai Ming's features were as if he was sculpted from a divine metal, exuding sharp power. Bai Ming got a feel of his body and slightly rubbed the fifth crescent mark on his waist, he revealed a satisfied grin.

He was greatly pleased with his body, which was now completely refined with the rotten blood art and was as tough as a semi-high-grade treasure weapon.

"8th layer of Yin-Yang void realm, He-He-He..." Taking a moment to adapt, Bai Ming's face gradually returned to that of cold indifference.

'Fortunately, body cultivation is not a problem for entering the Eccentric Ancestors Land.' Bai Ming thought as he quickly got dressed.

Half an hour later, Dong Mei returned to drop off all the treasures Bai Ming had ordered. After getting what he wanted Bai Ming immediately made her leave. It was time for him to enter seclusion.

Bai Ming sat crossed-legged in the room and before him were more than 6 bottles of pills. Some of the bottles were sealed with wax.

These pills were the best of the pills made particularly for spirit realm experts. All of these pills were very suitable for Bai Ming.

Bai Ming had placed the bottles in order of what he needed to take from right to left. He picked up a bottle and opened the wax seal. A strong aroma of medicine floated out of the bottle. Inside it was 10 lychee nut-sized pills.

This pill was called the grand spirit pill. It was a Tier-4 high-grade spirit pill. Using a lot of rare ingredients, not only did it provide a large amount of spiritual energy, but also helped widen the channels in one's body.

In the cultivation world, it was a very rare pill and a grade above the Qi Gathering Pill.

The thing that made this pill so rare was its effect to widen the channels. Even within the Red lotus Sect, there weren't many pills that widened the channels, and all of those pills were for lower-tier cultivators and didn't have much effect on Bai Ming.

Bai Ming picked up a pill and put it into his mouth. Then, he immediately began to cultivate. Spiritual energy flooded into his body and he immediately noticed the difference between it and the Qi Gathering Pill. The grand spirit pill had more than double the spiritual energy of the Qi Gathering Pill.

The boundless spiritual energy slowly calmed down as it was swallowed by the Seven Deities Avatar mantra. After two days, Bai Ming swallowed another pill.

Weng, instantly, inexhaustible spiritual essence wrapped around him and continuous streams of qi poured into his body, as if kneading.

The Grand spirit Pills medicinal effect was fully exhibited. Bai Ming used his body as a furnace to fuse the medicinal effects, and cooperating with the spiritual essence provided by the tier-4 Qi Gathering formation, his cultivation immediately began to skyrocket.

The spiritual oceans, one each in his six avatars began spinning in the opposite direction of the one in his dantian, the spiritual oceans began to expand under the stacked effects of medicinal energy and spiritual essence.

It would be fast if placed on anyone else, but Bai Ming had seven spiritual oceans which were far more humongous than that of standard Spirit realm cultivators, so the revolution and expansion seemed exceptionally slow.

Even if it was slow, he was still faster than normal people by ten times. After all, he was an extremity-grade talent and also had a sufficient amount of pills to aid his cultivation.

After another day and night, Bai Ming completely refined and absorbed the medicinal power of the spirit pill, and his cultivation reached the second layer of the Spirit realm, one step closer to the ninth layer.

Bai Ming didn't directly start cultivating again, instead, he took out a realm consolidation pill from the second bottle and looked at it for a bit, and put it in his mouth. Then, he began absorbing sharp and concentrated energies within it.

If too many pills are consumed in a short period of time, or if cultivation is raised too quickly in a short period of time, then even if there is no harm to the body, it will have deadly effects on future cultivation. Accurately speaking when too many pills get absorbed at once, not only will it not help, but it will increase the chances of a devil entering the cultivator.

The fastest way to eradicate this problem was to intake realm consolidation Pills, which will not only save a huge amount of time, but it will also prevent the Devil from entering one's heart.

Within half an hour, Bai Ming had completely consolidated his cultivation base of the second layer of the spirit realm. If he were to do it normally it would have taken him at least two days' worth of time.

Time slowly passed and in the blink of an eye, it was already the 47th day since Bai Ming had begun his seclusion.

Hong, a huge surge of majestic spiritual energy suddenly flared out from Bai Ming.

At the same time, Bai Ming opened his eyes. An Illusionary light shined brightly in his eyes as he crossed the threshold between the 8th layer and the 9th layer of the spirit realm.

A rare smile appeared on Bai Ming's face, he slightly tapped at his bag of holding and took out two elemental birthing stones, he muttered to himself, "It's time to birth scarlet and lighting essence in my spirit base."
