Chapter 85 - 85: Fang Ao’s Background
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
During these past three days, Li Ming had been able to properly focus on cultivating.
While he did not manage to have any breakthroughs, with the existence of the entries, that did not really worry him.
He knew that as long as he cultivated diligently, he would eventually be able to break through.
Currently, Li Ming had numerous entries. Moreover, those entries were not completely made up of mere low-tier entries, but were comprised of blue and purple entries as well.
Among the entries that he had, the purple entries were especially helpful to Li Ming.
The purple entries that he currently had were [Martial Arts Prodigy], [Ravenous Feast], and [Wild Growth]. The benefits that these purple entries provided him were irreplaceable.
It was also because of these entries that Li Ming’s talent had changed so greatly.
Having experienced and understood just how beneficial these entries were to him, Li Ming’s main focus continued to be grinding more entries.
However, while he did wish to acquire more entries, the conditions to acquire one remained mysterious. It had not gotten any easier to grind for any more entries.
Previously, he had been refined pills for a considerable amount of time, but he had not acquired a suitable entry.
Right now, even if Li Ming wanted to increase the number of entries that he had, it was somewhat difficult.
It mostly depended on luck.
After he concluded his cultivation for the time being, Li Ming tidied up his spirit stones.
The spirit stones given to him by the consecrators added up to over 400,000.
Of course, the black stone had taken half of it, leaving Li Ming with only 200,000 spirit stones.
This was the first time he had so many spirit stones. The thought of spending them suddenly appeared in Li Ming’s mind.
After all, the greatest value of spirit stones lay in what they could be exchanged for.
Otherwise, Li Ming would not have spent so much effort to get them.
With that, he left the Martial Hall.
Li Ming did not immediately head for the market. Instead, the first thing he did was go and see Chen Qingke.
Previously, he had refined the earth spirit pill for her and Lu Lan. He now wanted to check on how they were doing.
Just as he arrived outside her cave abode, he saw Fang Ao.
This guy still had that obnoxious arrogant look on his face, and the same could be said for his attitude.
“Junior Sister Chen, join me on a mission. This is an order from the sect and also a suggestion from the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.”
“This will allow you to train more.”
“In addition, you will have nothing to worry about. You can trust that I will protect you during this mission.”
While Fang Ao’s words did not sound excessive, his expression and tone betrayed his wretchedness and greed.
Fang Ao was someone who was incredibly notorious within the sect.
However, because he was a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, no disciple dared to openly refute him.
“Could it be that Junior Sister Chen plans to resist the orders of the sect?” Fang Ao pressured Chen Qingke even further.
Lu Lan, who was standing next to Chen Qingke, was also present. She looked at Fang Ao with disgust.
“Senior Brother Fang, what is going on with this mission? Is it really from the sect?”
“If so, then why do I not know of this?”
“If you are only doing this because you have designs on Junior Sister Chen, I advise you to give up on that idea.”
Lu Lan directly exposed Fang Ao’s thoughts on the spot.
Everyone knew that he was a lecherous man who coveted Chen Qingke’s body.
However, it was obvious that Fang Ao was not afraid of Lu Lan’s threat.
“I’m from the Law Enforcement Hall,” he said coldly. “I’m simply inviting Junior Sister Chen to help the Law Enforcement Hall with a mission. Is there any problem with what I am doing?”
“Junior Sister Lu, do you perhaps have a problem with the Law Enforcement Hall? Or is it that you simply have a problem against me?”
Obviously, Fang Ao was still full of confidence and believed that he had nothing to worry about.
Generally speaking, even if a disciple were a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, they would not act so unscrupulously in the sect and commit actions such as defiling fellow female disciples.
However, whenever Fang Ao carried out any such vile acts, the sect elders merely sat there and did nothing.
This situation was truly rather inconceivable.
However, those who were familiar with Fang Ao knew that he had powerful backing, allowing him to be so bold and act in such an unrestrained manner.
Of course, Li Ming did not know of this.
Seeing and hearing Fang Ao be so aggressive, Li Ming naturally could not just stand idly by.
Li Ming’s voice rang out and instantly attracted the attention of a few people.
She turned around and saw Li Ming walking over slowly.
Ever since he had become a sect consecrator, Li Ming rarely appeared in front of others.
He had been constantly busy with refining pills.
Of course, having become a sect consecrator, he needed to be familiar with the rules and regulations of the sect.
In terms of standing, the sect consecrators were above the elders of the various halls.
His status and power had to be taken with great importance.
When she heard what Li Ming said, Lu Lan smiled. Seeing Li Ming appear, the two women felt relieved.
“Li Ming?”
“You…”
Fang Ao was about to speak, but before he could finish, Li Ming raised his hand and slapped him!
Pa!
The crisp sound stunned Fang Ao.
Obviously, he did not expect Li Ming to actually dare to attack him!
However, before he could speak any further, Li Ming’s voice could be heard once again.
“Since I am a consecrator of the sect, the matters of the sect are my responsibility, and that includes its disciples.”
“If I find out that you bully or harm any of your fellow disciples again, it will not end with a simple slap the next time.”
Li Ming spoke in a very simple and direct manner.
He was delivering a simple and clear message to Fang Ao that his good days were over!
Hearing Li Ming’s words, Fang Ao immediately looked at Li Ming with hatred.
The other party was now a consecrator. The slap had instantly reminded Fang Ao of that fact.
Li Ming was no longer the new disciple that he could bully at his will.
Now, Li Ming was already a sect consecrator and a revered pill refiner.
His status was not something that he could compete with.
Even though Fang Ao was unhappy and angry, he did not dare to flare up at Li Ming.
At least, that was the case when inside the sect.
After all, the other party was a third-grade pill refiner, and he was also a consecrator. If he dared to make a move on the other party, that would be the end of him.
“Consecrator, I have learned my lesson!”
“This disciple shall take his leave!”
Fang Ao’s face was gloomy as he gritted his teeth and left.
With Li Ming having appeared, there was nothing more that he could do.
He could not possibly fight a consecrator in the sect. Regardless of whether he could win or not, as long as he fought, things would not end well for him. Of course, this was because Fang Ao did not plan on having a complete falling out with the sect.
After Fang Ao left, a smile emerged on Li Ming’s face. He was still as easy-going as ever.
“That guy seriously is a scum of the sect.”
“How does the Law Enforcement Hall even recruit people?”
Li Ming asked curiously. He had been curious in the past, but back then, he was just a nobody, and his words carried little weight. As such, Li Ming could not change anything even if he wanted.
However, things were different now.
His words now carried much greater weight in the sect.
Although Li Ming only really devoted himself to his own cultivation, the Divine Will Sect was the first sect that he had joined after all. Moreover, he had even become a consecrator, a guardian, of the sect.
Hence, he believed that he had to help make the sect better.
Hearing Li Ming’s words, Lu Lan said helplessly, “That guy’s background is not to be taken lightly. It is such that even the sect elders can only turn a blind eye when matters concern him.”
“As long as no one dies, they basically will not apprehend him for whatever he does.”
Lu Lan’s words made Li Ming even more curious. He could not help but wonder just what background Fang Ao really had.
The Divine Will Sect was such a big sect. How could it be afraid of the background of a mere disciple?
Was that not just ridiculous?
