Chapter 132: Greedy for the Prizes

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Ming’s business today was ordinary. Over the past two days, his business had begun to decline. This was inevitable. The reason why he could have such a vast harvest early on had largely been due to the sword-testing conference.

Those who could provide good goods were mostly cultivators from outside.

Cultivation was built on spirit crystals. Li Ming had known this for a long time, but he realized it more directly after learning formations. All formations were made of spirit crystals!

It seemed that this path would not last long, and his research was about to end.

However, he would soon participate in the sword-testing conference, so he did not have the time to think about how to earn spirit crystals. It was better to wait until the sword-testing conference concluded.

After Li Ming finished all of this, Li Fengying handed him a jade scroll.

“What is it?”

“Information about the participants of the sword-testing conference.” Seeing Li Ming’s strange gaze, Li Fengying hurriedly explained, “The sect master instructed me to be a logistics personnel. How can I just sit here? Oh, right, I’ve got some more information about the sword-testing conference.”

“Oh.” Li Ming put away his things and said casually, “Did you give it to eldest senior brother or Luo Ming?”

Li Fengying’s expression became gloomy, veins popping out on her forehead. It would have been fine if Li Ming had not mentioned it, but since he did, she could not help but become furious.

The sect leader had instructed her to manage the logistics, and she had specially given the information she had gathered to her two senior brothers, Luo Ming and Li Zhengxuan. Senior Brother Li Zhengxuan was nowhere to be found, and Senior Brother Luo Ming looked at her with a strange expression.

“What’s the use of this?”

She was about to go crazy from anger.

When she saw Li Ming’s nonchalant expression, the dissatisfaction in her heart immediately rose to the highest point. She sneered and turned around to leave.

Li Ming couldn’t figure it out. He didn’t understand how he had offended his senior sister.

After returning to his room, he took out the jade slip and began to flip through it.

There was a lot of information inside, especially information about those experts. It could be seen that Senior Sister had put a lot of effort into this. The more Li Ming looked, the more interested he became.

For example, He Fang of Bright Moon Lake was known as the strongest among the younger generation of Bright Moon Lake. Although he looked gentle on the surface, he had earned the title of the strongest youth of Bright Moon Lake by fighting.

Since two years ago, he had been challenging sects one by one without losing a single time. It was because of this that he was known as the number one expert of Bright Moon Lake.

Bright Moon Lake had beautiful mountains and clear waters, and was filled with spiritual qi. It was many times more prosperous than Dongfu, and there were many sects. The title of number one expert was genuine.

After reading the information about Fang Qi, Li Ming had a vague premonition that this person would become a strong opponent for his eldest senior brother in the future.

As for himself, he was not really bothered. If it was not for the sect master’s order, he would not have even joined the sword-testing conference.

If he had the time, he might as well earn more spirit crystals.

Next, he saw Nangong Yun, Hai Jun, and the others. None of them were easy to deal with. However, there were a few people whom Li Ming felt very familiar with Sha Ning from the Departing Moon Sect and a few others. He even saw

Jiang Peng from the Xuanjian Sect whom he had met a long time ago. However, Shi Xiang, who had given him the Ice Crystal Sword, did not appear.

Eh?

Li Ming’s gaze fell on a figure wearing a black veil and a bamboo hat. Wasn’t this the person who cut the cold magnet here last time? This person was actually a contestant!

He did not know anyone else.

However, when he saw everyone’s strength, he was speechless.

golden core realm, they were all at the golden core realm! The cultivators who could pass the preliminary sword-testing conference were all golden core cultivators.

Such a lineup made Li Ming no longer have any thoughts of even trying. He even began considering whether or not he should admit defeat right from the start.

However, the sect master’s kind face suddenly flashed across his mind. He trembled violently and woke up abruptly. He quickly threw this thought out of his mind.

A minor injury was a small matter, but if the sect master hated him, he would never have a good life!

Looking at this extravagant name list, he muttered in his heart that in his sect, only his eldest brother could win. Even Senior Brother Luo Ming might not win.

Fortunately, there were no nascent soul cultivators. Otherwise, he felt that his heart might really just stop beating.

Then, there were the rules of the sword-testing conference. Senior Sister Li Fengying also guessed that these three people definitely would not pay attention, so she listed them out in detail. There was nothing he could not understand about the rules. After the preliminary sword-testing conference ended, the Sword Test Conference would officially begin.

The first and second matches were all one-on-one fights without any rules! At that time, Senior Tian Song Zi would open the East Hall’s Great Pine Pavilion so that everyone could enter.

In the East Hall’s Great Pine Pavilion, participants were allowed to attack any contestant until the opponent lost the ability to fight. The remaining ten people would be the final champions.

In order to ensure that the participants didn’t die, there would be ten or so nascent soul cultivators monitoring the entire process. As for who was strong and who was weak, It was up to these nascent soul experts to Judge.

Tsk, tsk… there are actually ten nascent soul powerhouses as judges. This lineup is really big enough!

Li Ming could not understand why they had to spend so much effort and money to organize such a sword-testing conference. What was the use?

Well, maybe these big shots had their own plans. Li Ming casually looked down and suddenly became interested.

Then came the reward for the sword-testing conference.

Li Ming’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the rows of rewards. His saliva almost flowed out.

A fourth-grade Green Peak Sword, a fourth-grade Immortal Beast Belt, a fourth-grade Golden Crown, a third-grade Water Sleeved shirt, a third-grade Heavenly Silkworm Armor, a third-grade Frost Python Spirit Armor…

There were a total of ten top-grade magic treasures. They were selected according to the final score. Li Ming finally understood. No wonder so many cultivators rushed over to Dongfu to participate in the sword-testing conference.

This was called motivation! His heart was itching. He stared at these things without blinking. His heart was burning with envy. He only hated himself for being too weak.

These top ten talismans were all the best of the best. They were at least one or two grades higher than the ones he had snatched from the profligate sons of Departing Moon Sect. There were a few rewards that made Li Ming want to sell his body to exchange for them.

Li Ming greedily glanced at the rewards for the top ten. He was still not satisfied and continued to read.

Forget it. Even if he couldn’t get it, it was still a good thing to take a look. Li Ming comforted himself.

These few days, he had been immersed in the world of formations and had consumed a lot of energy. Now that he could finally rest, he was in a very good mood..
