Entering the Mystical Rank meant one was officially among the ranks of the experts. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Ye Ming sensed that his five senses had become sharper, and his body even lighter.
In Lin Bingqing’s eyes, Ye Ming seemed to have become a different person in a trance.
She asked in some astonishment, "Master, what just happened? Why do I feel that you’ve become stronger?"
"Could it be because of that elixir?"
Lin Bingqing felt that the Ye Ming in front of her had become so powerful that she couldn’t reach him.
Just like gazing upon a giant.
She felt that Ye Ming was on par with her other master, or even a bit more formidable.
"That elixir is known as the Great Qi Condensing Powder, which provides dense Spiritual Energy, equivalent to three months of cultivation."
Ye Ming explained.
The difference between Great Qi Condensing Powder and the common Qi Condensing Pill was just one word, but the medicinal effect was vastly different, which even Ye Ming had not expected.
Seeing the envious look in Lin Bingqing’s eyes, Ye Ming naturally wouldn’t let her down.
In the following time, Ye Ming added the remaining herbs into the pot to continue making Herbal Pills.
After advancing, Ye Ming could control True Qi more skillfully, making a few ordinary Qi Condensing Pills effortlessly.
Half an hour later, two Qi Condensing Pills were completed.
Ye Ming handed the Herbal Pills to Lin Bingqing and then said, "Take the pills, and use the breathing technique I taught you before to assimilate the power within the pills."
Lin Bingqing was overjoyed, nodding earnestly and taking the pills as Ye Ming had instructed.
After just a blink of an eye, Lin Bingqing felt the changes within her body, her surprise indescribable.
In a short amount of time, her strength had soared, and now she felt confident in defeating her senior sister.
"Master... thank you."
Lin Bingqing’s eyes brimmed with tears, deeply moved, and she was about to kneel to show her gratitude when Ye Ming quickly stopped her.
"Since you’re my disciple, this is nothing," he said.
"There’s no need for such grand gestures between us teacher and student. Just maintain a normal mindset."
"Rapid leaps in strength aren’t good for you; in the days to come, you’ll need to consolidate your power."
Lin Bingqing wiped her tears and nodded obediently, her mind constantly thinking of ways to repay Ye Ming.
She even thought of offering herself to him, but because of the Gu Insects lurking in her body, she feared they would reveal her whereabouts immediately if her passions were to stir, so she had to abandon the thought.
What she didn’t know was that Ye Ming’s actions were also intended to combat the Gu Insects.
Such things were not like a toxin; the Gu Insects lived symbiotically with the host, and he was afraid forcibly removing them might also take Lin Bingqing’s life.
Therefore, Ye Ming had only one choice: to boost Lin Bingqing’s strength first, so she’d be capable of contending with the Gu Insects.
...
Half-immortal Zhang, whose Magic Artifact had been destroyed, was extremely frustrated, with a rage burning in his heart that he just couldn’t quell.
To block someone’s path to wealth was akin to killing their parents, and Ye Ming’s destruction of his Magic Artifact equated to blocking Half-immortal Zhang’s path to fortune.
He had already decided to hire assassins to kill Ye Ming and put him to death.
But just at this time, the Qin Family of Hai City had invited him over to help resolve a spirit occurrence in their home.
The Qin Family originally dealt in the gemstone business, and Qin Tianyu was among the best of his generation. He had fully taken over his father’s enterprise and become the helmsman of the family.
However, ever since he had been invited by Wang Hai to attend a wedding banquet, strange things had started happening in his home after his return.
Items in the house would be broken, and every night there were eerie howls.
Qin Tianyu’s father had also fallen victim to this just yesterday, confined to bed, babbling nonsensical words.
His friends had told him that a malevolent spirit was entwining his home and that he needed to invite a Feng Shui master to resolve it.
So, Qin Tianyu naturally thought of Half-immortal Zhang.
"Half-immortal Zhang, what do you make of this? Is there a way to break it?"
After laying out the situation, Qin Tianyu asked Half-immortal Zhang.
Although Half-immortal Zhang had previously used despicable means to trick and deceive, he did actually possess some skills. The moment he entered, he sensed that the Qin Family was burdened with heavy Evil Qi.
This Evil Qi was something Half-immortal Zhang simply couldn’t handle; in fact, in his decades of practice, it was the first time he had encountered such, and he dared not act rashly, fearing that he might become contaminated with the Evil Qi and unable to get rid of it.
"This... This matter might be somewhat difficult, Mr. Qin."
Half-immortal Zhang said with a troubled expression, "The Evil Qi is dense, and its source is unknown. Any rash action could make things worse."
Qin Tianyu said in shock, "Then what should we do? My father is still bedridden, we can’t let this go on!"
Half-immortal Zhang scratched his head, a bold idea suddenly coming to mind.
He remembered being humbled by Ye Ming just yesterday, his Magic Artifact crushed and his tricks exposed.
So, he planned to push this matter onto Ye Ming, let Ye Ming become afflicted by the Evil Qi, and then suffer a fate worse than death.
"Mr. Qin, my abilities are limited, I’m no match for this Evil Qi. However, I know someone who can help you,"
Upon hearing Half-immortal Zhang’s words, Qin Tianyu asked eagerly, "Who is this capable person?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
After Half-immortal Zhang mentioned Ye Ming’s name, Qin Tianyu fell into thought, asking tentatively, "Is it Miss Xu’s pretty boy sidekick?"
As he spoke, disdain showed on Qin Tianyu’s face.
"He’s a Feng Shui master? I thought he was nothing but a freeloader living off a woman."
Half-immortal Zhang felt content inside; those words had hit the nail on the head for him.
"Yes, it’s him. Just invite him over, and your family’s problems will be effortlessly resolved," Half-immortal Zhang said.
What he said was true; one simple way to disperse the Evil Qi was to find a new host for it and let them take it away.
This way, both Half-immortal Zhang’s and the Qin Family’s goals would be achieved, killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, Qin Tianyu quickly made a call to Xu Lele.
After stating his intention, Xu Lele lazily handed over Ye Ming’s number to him, then hung up the phone.
However, she felt a sense of indignation in her heart; at the banquet before, these people had treated Ye Ming very poorly, and now they were seeking his help while still carrying an air of superiority.
So, Xu Lele directly called Ye Ming and said, "Some guy wants to hire you to attract wealth and ward off evil for his family. Are you gonna go?"
The instant he heard this, Ye Ming had a good guess who it might be and asked, "Is the person you’re talking about surnamed Qin?"
Xu Lele was quite surprised on the other end of the phone; she hadn’t mentioned who it was, yet Ye Ming had already guessed.
"Wow, you are amazing! How did you know it was him?" Xu Lele asked.
