Qin Ming said gently: "Didn’t the Sect Leader host a tea party for you on Azure Cloud Mountain? Is it already over?"
"It should be about over now." The young girl with her clothes fluttering and her footsteps light, came beside Qin Ming and sat on the stone platform.
She quietly sat there, gazing the stars that filled the sky, her actions were exquisite, like blooming tulips, elegant and beautiful.
Yue Qing, the pride of Azure Cloud Sect, one of the five Golden disciples.
Also the girl who had the countless admirers in Azure Cloud Sect.
She usually wears a veil, to cover her beauty that could overturn worlds, she also seldom smiled. Only tonight, did she take off her veil and showed her beauty, her skin supple, eyes like autumn water, tall jade like nose, luscious red lips and pearly white teeth, she is a girl blessed by heavens with beauty that can topple city and kingdoms, so beautiful that it’s suffocating, like a fairy descending down to the mortal realm.
Qin Ming looked at Yue Qing's perfect face from the side, he was happy for her : "Congratulations for stepping into Profound Martial realm, are you happy?"
Yue Qing tapped her ten fingers, slightly pursed her lips: "I was quite happy when I broke through, but slowly calmed down. There’s actually nothing to be proud of, there are countless martial warriors like me just like the stars in the universe, numbering in billions, all trying to shine bright. Each and everyone of us thinks that they are a bright star, but they would always find out other brighter stars."
"It's because of this, that this world is more worthy of waiting for, isn’t it?"
Yue Qing laughed lightly, brightening up the night sky, only in front of Qin Ming, is she this carefree: "Thanks for that set of Martial skill, if not i wouldn’t even be able to step into Profound Martial realm this quickly."
"That set of Martial Skill has high requirements on realm level, I only gave you the first style. Now that you are in Profound Martial realm, you can cultivate the second style." Qin Ming took out the Overflowing Sword Manual.
"I really didn’t train the first style, I only gained some enlightenment from it."
"Why didn’t you train?"
"It rejected me."
"What?"
"It's only a piece of thin paper, but the words inside seems to give out a weird feeling, like…. Its rejecting me."
Qin Ming was surprised, rejected? Could it be that the mysterious part about Overflowing Sword Manual was not the manual, but the words inside?
"Where did you get this? This set of Martial Skill should be at Earth grade, or even higher." Yue Qing didn’t cultivate it, but she carefully studied it.
"The old man gave me, he gave me before leaving."
"Where did the old man go?"
"I also want to know, he left silently." Qin Ming shrugged.
"Since it was given to you by the old man, it belongs to you." Yue Qing returned to Overflowing Sword Manual : "The moves are very mysterious, and its totally different from Azure Cloud Sect's sword skills, I’ll wait for you to give me some enlightenment after you cultivate it."
"OK then."
"I just saw you training a martial skill?" Yue Qing actually came earlier, and has been observing Qin Ming. The roiling lightning, thick lightning snake, strong light, formed a very shocking scene, she couldn’t even believe that it was Qin Ming.
Qin Ming hesitated a bit : "I killed Zhao Ming and Qiao Chen."
"During the medicine herb gathering period?" Yue Qing was very calm.
Qin Ming generalised what happened in the forest: "I used Qiao Chen's bronze sword, to trade for a set of Martial skills."
"The bronze sword is one the the treasure sword from Medicine Mountain, if those mercenaries were to show it off, Medicine Mountain may be able to track onto you."
"Don’t need to worry, I said that i found it. I’m a importunate person, I’m not afraid of anyone"
Yue Qing shook her head and laughed lightly : "Do you want to know what they said in the tea party?"
"What else is there other than some encouraging words?" Qin Ming lie flat on the stone.
"Sect leader asked me what gift I wanted, I said to remove your status as servant and promote you to high grade disciple."
"Really?" Qin Ming sat up after lying down.
"Sect leader didn’t promise, nor did he reject, maybe he needs to think it through. This matter affects the grand elder, Sect leader will need to care for his face too."
The reason why Yue Qing charged into Profound Martial realm because she wanted to help free Qin Ming of the servant status, when the Sect leader asked her what she wanted during the tea party, she casually said it. But she didn’t expect Sect leader to hesitate, even other elders were quiet. Of course, the one who punished Qin Ming was not the Sect leader, it was the Grand elder, thus Sect leader hesitated, other elders was silent, this shows that the Grand elder was still unwilling to let it go.
It has already been eight years! Eight years, you guys still don’t want to let him off?
Yue Qing don’t understand, just how did you offend them, causing eight years of suffering, enslaving whole of Lei Ting city for eight years.
She thought that she could help Qin Ming by getting into Profound Martial realm, from what it looks like, its not as easy as she thought.
The second day afternoon, Qin Ming continued his deliveries using the stone vat, the one that rushed him the most was Sparring arena number 10, which needs some thick metal chains.
Azure Cloud Sect's fifteen sparring arena all sat on top of fifteen huge mountains, every arena was about three hundred meters wide, made with tough rock paving, there’s also a lot of equipment for cultivation, it was used as a sparring practice for Azure Cloud Sect disciples. Of course, these kind of arena was only open for high grade disciples and core disciples, middle grade disciples can only watch from the sidelines, while low grade disciple has no qualifications to go near it.
Azure Cloud Sect's hierarchy system seems unreasonable from every angle, but it is actually to motivate the disciples to work harder. If you want more resource and better treatment, you must fight for it yourself.
Although Qin Ming is a low grade disciple, but because of his status as a servant, he could use the excuse of delivering stuff to wander around each arena.
There are currently hundred of people training in the spacious arena, fireballs exploding, mud waves surging, sharp ice needles covered the sky, there were even sharp sword glints from big swords used on beasts, all sorts of Spiritual energy and martial skills, making it very bustling. Hundreds of disciple beneath the stage was watching, shouting and cheering.
"Faster, why are you still dawdling about." Qin Ming just came to the top of the mountain, when he heard angry shoutings.
"Take it yourself if you are really in a hurry, I am only delivering stuff based on the list given." Qin Ming was expressionless, as he threw down the stone vat with a huge bang,immediately attracting lots of gazes.
"You dare to talk back?" a tall sturdy youth came forward, and pointed at Qin Ming's nose, shouting: "Take note of your status, you are a servant, and your job is to deliver stuff, not training, if i see you carry that stone vat again, I will smash it open!"
"So lenient." Qin Ming took out a chain as thick as an arm, as he dragged it towards the sparring arena to the front.
"I'm not happy today, so you better not anger me." the youth stepped onto the chains, he was called Pang Hu, a high grade disciple, he had some fame in Azure Cloud Sect. he had just been defeated in a sorry manner by others, and was thus fuming right now, seeing Qin Ming coming over, he decided to pour all his frustrations onto him.
"Release your leg." Qin Ming had experienced countless similar provocation, so he only turned around and stared at him coldly.
"I heard you are at Spirit Martial realm grade three? You dare to challenge high grade disciples? Brat, you must be tired of living!" Pang Hu laughed angrily, you who is the lowest of the low grade disciples dare to fight against me?
"I a low grade disciple is already at Spirit Martial realm, while you a high grade disciple is only at Spirit Martial realm grade five, aren’t you embarrassed?" Qin Ming ridiculed unrestrainedly, as he shake off the arm width chains, and gave it a hard pull, pulling out the long chain from under the Pang Hu's feet.
"Haha! You were crazy before, and you are now even more crazier. So what if you are at Spirit Martial realm grade three, without Martial skill, you are still a trash. Your life will definately be filled with abuses." Pang Hu took out his sword, and slashed towards Qin Ming, his sword quick and violent, bringing about wind.
"Pang Hu, you're too much!" a young girl shouted from afar, as she was not used to this kind of behaviour.
"Pang Hu, as a high grade disciple, you are bullying a servant, do you still want your face?" other disciple shouted in disagreement, but no one came forward to stop it.
Qin Ming's face was cold, as he tilted his body, cleanly dodging the sword, and even giving a slap on Pang Hu's face. His slap was harsher than a metal hammer, with a loud bang sound, Pang Hu's head violently tilted backwards, blood mixed with teeth flew out, as he stumbled back.
Pang Hu stumbled back a total of ten steps, the right side of his face was swollen.
The nearby disciples all sucked in a breath, his methods were ruthless.
"Bastard, I, your father will tear your face apart." not only was Pang Hu's face red, his eyes was also red, he violently shook his head, as he picked up the sword and charged at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming gripped the chain tightly, as it danced in the sky, hualala, the ten plus meter long thick chain was at three hundred jin, he was actually able to lift it up to the sky easily, shocking the people there, attracting countless exclamations
Zzzz!
There was lightning present on Qin Ming's body, flowing towards the chain through his arm.
"Bastard! I, your father…." Just when Pang Hu was about to raise his leg up, the metal chain smacked down like a whip, with a 'pak' sound on his back, his flesh split apart, and blood flew all around, under the gaze of countless dumbstruck people, the thick chain directly pushed Pang Hu down the mountain top, as he rolled down following the rocky path.
