Chapter 129: Lucky

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

There was no intense collision as expected, no dazzling brilliance, only the sound of a bubble being popped.

However, following this slight sound, the buzzing sound that filled the sky suddenly stopped. At the same time, the bone-chilling sensation that he had been feeling suddenly disappeared.

Holding the water-drop sword, Li Ming, who was prepared to take on a fight to the death, was left not knowing what to do.

The crystal bead that had been hit turned into a transparent ball of light, and the terrifying black yin thorn disappeared in the blink of an eye like a clay ox entering the sea.

The ball of light carried the remnants of its power as it charged toward the yin fiend. The yin fiend seemed to have been hit by an immobilizing spell and was motionless.

The yin fiend that was hit by the light ball did not even make a sound. Like a snowman, it quickly melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. It disappeared along with the ball of light, leaving no trace behind.

The moment the ball of light dissipated, Li Ming’s mind suddenly shook.

A moment later, Li Ming finally reacted. He stared blankly at the empty ground.

Wha- What was going on?

When the ball of light and the yin fiend disappeared, the eyes of the tablet spirit standing behind him suddenly constricted, but it quickly returned to normal.

“Tablet spirit, what, what’s going on?” Li Ming turned around and asked. He thought of many possibilities, but he really had no idea what was going on.

“You’re just lucky.” The tablet spirit revealed a disdainful expression.

Li Ming did not believe the tablet spirit’s irresponsible words. He took out another yin bead and sent a trace of his divine sense into it. When it turned into a crystal clear pearl again, he threw it out.

Pa, the crystal clear bead fell to the ground. With a flash of light, the bead disappeared without a trace.

Other than a moment of absent-mindedness, there was nothing else. Li Ming stood rooted to the ground, not moving at all.

“Haha!” The tablet spirit laughed loudly.

Was it really luck? Li Ming was skeptical. Could it be that this thing was only useful against yin fiends?

“It wasn’t easy to encounter a good yin fiend, but it was destroyed by you just like that.” The tablet spirit looked disinterested. It casually threw out a few spirit crystals. Li Ming felt the world spin and he returned to the stone room.

The moment the tablet spirit returned to the sea of consciousness, it sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone and closed its eyes to rest. Li Ming felt that this fellow must have eaten too much and was slowly digesting its food.

After returning to his familiar stone room, Li Ming finally felt exhausted. Throughout the day, his nerves had been extremely tense, especially after the last encounter with the yin fiends, which made his nerves even more tense.

He did not care if the floor of the stone room was cold or not. He lay directly on the ground and fell asleep.

A gentle green light lit up in front of Li Ming’s chest. The green light turned into a thin stream and flowed into his body.

The tablet spirit sat on the tombstone, its gaze cold as it looked into the distant void.

The Sword Testing Conference this time could be said to be a wave after wave, and many outstanding young talents emerged. The unique energy of the youths made this Sword Testing Conference even more lively.

Young cultivators mostly focused on offense rather than defense.

This was only the preliminary Sword Testing Conference. The number of young cultivators rushing towards Dongfu was still increasing.

One by one, unfamiliar names quickly became recognized by everyone.

Li Ming opened his eyes and got up from the cold and wet ground. He stretched his body and felt that his entire body was filled with strength. The entire stone room was deathly silent.

From then on, he no longer relied on the spirit vein in the stone room but instead treated it as his own alchemy field.

Firstly, it was very quiet here, and no one would disturb them. Secondly, it was also a good place to cultivate water-attribute cultivation techniques.

He stared at the spirit pill in the spirit spring and took out the water-drop sword to soak in the spirit spring and nourish it. Although this method did not have much effect, it could cause a fundamental change to the water-drop sword.

Then, Li Ming sat down cross-legged and began to ponder.

Entering the sword cave this time was a massive gain for him.

The usage of formation disks, the functions of different types of formation disks, and the spirit sense spikes he had secretly learned from the yin fiends. Although he had yet to fully understand it, he knew this route was feasible. It was just that he still could not figure it out.

Most importantly, he realized that he had yet to find a way to save his life.

The combination of low-level moves could have a very good effect, but there were conditions. One had to be sufficiently prepared.

However, under such circumstances, he needed more time to think about how to combine these spells.

Moreover, this seal soldier was a one-time use, so it consumed a lot of energy and wasn’t the best choice.

Only the water-drop sword was the most reliable. However, he could only be somewhat at ease by relying on the water-drop sword.

A true sword cultivator was full of confidence in his flying sword and sword technique, just like Senior Brother Li Zhengxuan. However, Li Ming was not one of them. He did not feel that he was a pure sword cultivator. This confidence was indescribable.

His gaze landed on the yin fire bead.

Last time, he spent so much effort to successfully refine one. Of course, he was unwilling to use it. He never knew how powerful the yin fire bead was.

Ever since he had refined all sorts of materials in East Floating, his control over the Stalagmite fire had reached a new height. With the help of the fire formation, he was confident that he could refine the yin fire bead into a relatively perfect product.

He had never thought about this problem before. It was not until he entered the sword cave this time and experienced so many dangers that he realized the importance of life-saving methods. If he could have a few more trump cards at the critical moment, the outcome would be completely different.

Li Ming walked into a remote valley about a hundred miles away from Divine Will Mountain. The ancient trees here towered into the sky, making it the best place to hide.

Last time, the yin bead had posed a huge threat to him. He knew that this thing could not be exposed, so he was even more cautious.

He steadied himself and took out the yin fire bead. The cloud patterns on it were stunning.

This time, he decided to study it carefully. Soon, he chose a method called [Finger Projection]. This was precisely what Li Ming wanted: a simple finger technique with great power.

Thus, he began to practice [Finger Projection] in the valley.

[Finger Projection] was not difficult. There were only five moves in total, but the spiritual power involved was much more complicated. Fortunately, although Li Ming’s cultivation was not high, his control over spiritual energy was outstanding. He could still manage the level of control that this technique required..
