BXBX NOVEL Chapter 211 - Why Are Your Tastes Getting Stronger?
Somewhere.
Some four-star cultivators stepped into the forbidden zone.
“Be careful. The python might appear anytime.”
“Understood.”
They threaded their way around cautiously.
At this very moment...
Whoosh!
A shadow flashed, giving the crowd a fright. They came to their senses and took a look. A three-star cultivator was running around in the building.
“You are courting death!”
There was a flash of cold lights in one of the cultivators’ eyes.
He was merely a three-star...
Shush!
Cold lights surged.
He was ready for murder.
Bam!
The three-star cultivator dropped to his knees, kowtowing to the other party. “Seniors, please spare my life! I am too weak. I didn’t see you!”
The man who was getting ready to strike stiffened. It would look bad on him if he launched an attack.
Damn!
He did not know that there were people like him!
“Get lost!”
He had no choice but to wave his hands.
“Thank you, seniors.”
The three-star cultivator made a respectful salute, showing his due respect to the seniors before he left carefully.
“Brother Wang is indeed magnanimous.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Let’s go, be careful.”
“Okay.”
The group forayed deeper into the forbidden area.
In the darkness.
A figure seemed to be hovering, staring at them in the dark. The two passageways that they passed by seemed like a pair of huge eyes. They could not help but shiver.
...
In the shop.
Lu Ming looked at the Original Card that was lying on the ground.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Original Card looked comfortable while it burst with lights.
The cultivation speed was increasing slowly...
Lu Ming touched the floor. It was still as cold. Therefore, the Original Card absorbed the cool air underneath the ground and it helped to increase its cultivation speed!
That was amazing.
“What kind of spirit were you in the past?”
Lu Ming was very doubtful.
The Original Card ignored him.
“Absorbing the sinister aura...”
Lu Ming pondered and there was a look of surprise on his face. “Don’t tell me you are a toilet bowl spirit?”
The Original Card stared at him as if he was an idiot.
You were the toilet bowl spirit!
Your entire family was toilet bowl spirits!
“No?”
Lu Ming thought about it and was shocked. “Are you the legendary sanitation spirit (when pronounced phonetically in Chinese, it sounded like a sanitary pad)?”
The Original Card was silent.
It had a sudden impulse to kill someone.
He was such an idiot master. Why would anyone look at its card spirit from that aspect? It merely absorbed sinister auras, but so what?!
Why would he be thinking about toilet bowls and sanitary pads...
Did he have a problem?
It suddenly felt regretful for working for Lu Ming.
Look, he either cooked durian rice all day or he would be thinking about the toilet bowl...
No one could stand him!
“Don’t insult me! I am a sword spirit! A noble sword spirit!”
Lu Ming could sense the Original Card’s angry thoughts.
“Oh...”
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
Look, he had finally said the truth.
There was no use in pretending to conceal its real feelings.
He felt that...
His card spirit was too cheap. It refused to answer all the questions that he asked. He had to threaten or insult it for it to tell him the answer truthfully...
It was indeed cheap.
Or was it a masochist?
Oh.
It seemed that other than the Swordsmen who were masochistic, their sword spirits were...
“What do you mean by insulting you?”
Lu Ming lectured it. “All things are equal and they have a spirit. A sword spirit is a spirit, so is a toilet bowl spirit. Why do you see yourself as more superior to them? Since there are levels and seniority within different spirit bodies, let me ask you if the toilet bowl spirit is one level higher than you, would you be respectful when you see it?”
The Original Card looked dumbstruck.
I-it seemed to make sense.
What if there was indeed a toilet bowl spirit that was one level higher than him?
Should he address it as a senior?
Or should he look down on it?
Wait a minute.
This was wrong!
There was no high-level toilet bowl spirit!?
Ah!
There was no toilet bowl spirit at all!
Wait a minute.
How did this thing become a spirit?
“Why not?”
Lu Ming sneered. “Didn’t you absorb and accumulate energy slowly over a long period of time, before you were influenced by energy and you gradually developed a consciousness? They have better conditions than you...”
The Original Card was silent.
What did he mean by having better conditions than him?!
However...
Now that he thought about it, it was true!
After all...
It felt like vomiting!
To hell with the toilet bowl spirit and sanitation spirit!
It suddenly realized that this was a scary question...
The more it thought about it...
The more disgusting it felt.
Wait a minute!
The Original Card came back to its senses. It was a card spirit. It originated from a noble sword. It was high above others, why did it compare itself to a toilet bowl spirit?
Snort!
It could not be bothered with Lu Ming. It lay on the ground, bursting with lights.
“Don’t avoid me.”
Lu Ming frowned.
He took a brick from somewhere and threw it at the Original Card.
The Original Card was silent.
“Work hard. Work hard so that one day you can fly me around. Understand?” Lu Ming instructed.
He was envious of Xiaobai.
Look, she could fly in the sky... Her Original Card was so powerful... His Original Card was different. It was a good-for-nothing! It had no use at all!
The Original Card was silent.
Fly?
Its mood was heavy.
After all...
This was a mission impossible in this life.
And right then.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Xiaobai came flying back to the shop. She looked cool. However, whenever she returned, she did not have good control of the card, and...
She landed on Lu Ming.
Crash!
He gave her a bear hug.
“This is annoying! Master, you are blocking my way again!”
Xiaobai buried her head in Lu Ming’s chest as she spoke.
Lu Ming gave a deep sigh. “Come down.”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai slid down obediently.
“Do you still have difficulties controlling it?”
Lu Ming looked at her.
“A little.”
Xiaobai blushed red. “The Original Card refuses to listen. It was doing fine outside, but when I reached the shop, it flew around nervously...”
Xiaobai’s Original Card looked dazed. What did this have to do with me?
This girl...
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
He felt that given how the situation was developing, he would be beaten to death by Old Jiang sooner or later...
But what could he do about it?
Lu Ming looked into the mirror. No one could be immune to his good looks.
...
At this very moment...
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The Original Card was still bursting with lights.
Lu Ming felt that the energy was increasing slowly.
He had to admit that it was considered quite fast. It was just that the situation in Qing Ming City was getting stranger, Lu Ming could not help but be worried...
Two-star did not seem enough.
Oh.
That was not right.
He was a to-be three-star peak!
Lu Ming took a look. Right now, his energy level was already halfway there. Given that his energy had been tempered to the ultimate, his energy level was considered to be a standard three-star peak!
Of course.
On the surface...
He was still a miserable two-star!
“The energy must reach ten thousand points as soon as possible and break through to a four-star!”
Lu Ming was determined.
Four-star!
It was a brand new concept!
One’s energy would be transformed totally. One would break free from the foundation of one-star, two-star and three-star and emerge from the biggest cultivating groups to become a true cultivator!
One’s energy...
Would become more powerful!
One’s energy...
Would be of a different quality!
Right now, Lu Ming could skip levels to challenge a four-star!
What did he rely on?
Surmounting ability!
If he did not have enough energy, he could make up for it with his abilities!
The high quality of the surmounting abilities could make up for the disadvantage due to the low energy quality! This was why Lu Ming, who was a bogus three-star peak could fight a four-star head-on!
The special ability of ultimate limit cards!
It was similar to the special and powerful ability of Stealing Card!
...
Other than that?
There was nothing else.
If the opponent was a four-star, and like Lu Ming, had surmounting abilities, and knew that Lu Ming had the effects of special cards?
He would be done for.
After all...
Although they were four-star, their energy level would be worlds apart!
Some useless cultivators achieved four-star in a short time but had no real abilities; some cultivators were ordinary four-star that graduated from colleges; some four-star cultivators honed their skills while killing in the wild and were very ruthless, there were also talented four-star who could skip levels to challenge...
And this time...
Due to the python, the cultivators that were here were extraordinary.
It was very dangerous!
Therefore...
He had to break through to a four-star as soon as possible!
“Is there any way to speed up the cultivation?”
Lu Ming looked toward the Original Card.
The Original Card was silent.
What was he up to?
“I’m being serious,” Lu Ming whispered. “I heard that spirit bodies have different cultivation speeds in different places. For example, the toilet bowl spirit has a better cultivation speed at the toilet...”
Shush!
The Original Card was on alert.
Damn!
If he dared to put him in the toilet, he would not hesitate to die!
“No! How was that possible? You might not find it dirty, but I do...”
Lu Ming cast a weird glance at the Original Card. “Why would I put you in the toilet? That’s strange. Why are your tastes getting stronger now...”
The Original Card was silent.
It had another urge to kill someone.
Ah.
It felt like killing Lu Ming!
“I’m serious.”
Lu Ming looked solemn. “The situation right now is not good. We need to reach three-star peak as soon as possible. I noticed that your cultivation speed increases if you lay on the floor...
Why? Is it related to the cultivation environment?” Lu Ming asked.
“Yes.”
The Original Card glanced at Lu Ming before answering.
“Sinister auras...”
Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “That is to say, the more sinister the aura, the faster the cultivation speed?”
“Yes.”
The Original Card agreed.
“Sinister auras...”
Lu Ming looked around.
Where could he find sinister auras?!
Well...
“Are you sure the toilet won’t work?”
He asked suddenly.
Crash!
The Original Card collided onto the ground. I will die right now!
Cough, cough.
“That is a casual question.”
Lu Ming coughed, looking toward the distance. “The sinister aura that you absorbed from the ground was from the heating system, which is the python...
“Haha.”
If you need sinister aura...
The building! The area where the python has taken over!”
Lu Ming smiled.
Having said that, he looked to the Original Card. “Am I right?”
“Yes.”
The Original Card transmitted his thoughts clearly.
There... would be the fastest place to cultivate!
Ten times!
A hundred times!
However, since that place was very dangerous, it did not bring it up. After all, it was closely related to Lu Ming. If Lu Ming was dead, he would definitely die!
As for the cat...
Although it was very powerful, it had not recovered.
It had yet to recover from the last time it fought with him.
It was better to rely on oneself.
Heh.
Useless cat...
Crash!
A black shadow flashed.
The Original Card was plastered onto the wall, leaving a card imprint on the wall!!!
The Original Card looked dumbstruck.
The black shadow from just now...
“Haha.”
Lu Ming came back to his senses. “Are you secretly scolding Brother Cat?
I forgot to tell you something...
The lightning on the Original Card was bitten by Brother Cat. Therefore it can sense your consciousness. This was why it dared to stuff you inside it.”
The Original Card was silent.
He did not know that the black cat had such an ability?!
This guy...
What kind of presence was it?
But then again, wasn’t it already very weak?
“It is very weak.”
Lu Ming sighed. “But Brother Cat has a bad temper. It is weak and it might not attack enemies, but if you dare to scold it, no matter how weak it is, it will give you a beating.”
The Original Card was silent.
What kind of moronic breed of cat was this?
Crash!
A black shadow flashed.
The Original Card was plastered onto the wall again...
“Haha.”
Lu Ming was amused. “You deserved it. How dare you provoke the eunuch cat?”
Crash!
A black shadow flashed.
Lu Ming was plastered onto the wall...
The man and the card looked at each other, keeping their silence.
Alright.
They could not afford to offend it!
Lu Ming shut his mouth up.
The eunuch cat had a nasty temper...
Heh.
But then again, in the past, Brother Cat could only make a move in the Sea of Consciousness. Right now it could attack him and the Original Card even in reality. This meant that...
It had recovered its strength?
Although it was still very weak.
This was a good thing.
Well...
However...
He supposed the cat would not be able to know what was on his mind.
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
Given the power of the black cat, it should only be able to sense his thoughts when in the Sea of Consciousness. It should not have this ability in reality.
For example...
Eunuch cat!
Eunuch cat!
Eunuch cat!
He recited this to himself inside his head, but the black cat had no response.
Well...
He had confirmed his doubts.
As long as he did not say it out loud, the black cat would not be able to sense his thoughts.
With this... Lu Ming was very satisfied.
The Original Card that was next to him glanced at him and it could tell what Lu Ming was up to. Lu Ming could scold the cat while it could not...
Its thoughts were connected to the Original Card and the black cat would be able to sense them!
There was no way he could hide from the cat!
But what if he could not help but scold the cat?
Well...
It soon remembered the method that Lu Ming used when Xiaobai was bathing last time.
It seemed to work.
Hence...
It recited to itself: prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law (Core socialist values)...
...
Eh?
It seemed to be working.
