Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 72 The End (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Monthly Votes!)

Although Li Shiming had witnessed the cruelty of the Cultivation World several times, when he saw the boys he had spent many days with become cold corpses, he deeply felt the malice of the Cultivation World.

He had little interaction with these boys and thus didn't have deep feelings for them, his heart mostly filled with a sense of sorrow for the dead.

"Isn't that Jin Shufeng?" he saw Jin Shufeng's body.

The previous schemes became a joke in the face of absolute power, without corresponding strength, one must cower.

Li Shiming thought this as he gathered the bodies of the Xuanming Sect Qi Refining Cultivators into his storage bag; during this process, he noticed Junior Master Cui had not taken the storage bag from this Xuanming Sect Qi Refining Cultivator.

He took down the storage bag and hung it at his waist, preparing to return it to Junior Master Cui when he came back.

Having done this, he started to arrange the bodies of the boys on the ground, neatly lining them up and finding missing parts to attach back.

His adept movements let the remaining boys clustered together notice, and Jin Fengzhi, pale-faced, was the first to stand up and help move the bodies.

Then three more boys joined in, but the remaining five boys dared not move at all.

Li Shiming said nothing; these boys ranged from twelve to seventeen years old, extremely well-protected by the Great Xia Country.

Having never experienced danger, it was normal for them to feel fear in such a scene.

However, if these boys could not move past this emotion, even if they entered the sect, they wouldn't achieve much.

Twenty-one bodies lay on the first-floor, and although they had been arranged, the fear, terror, and reluctance they felt at death still solidified on their faces.

This made the atmosphere on the first floor extremely oppressive, the boys sitting far away.

Li Shiming sat next to the twenty-one bodies; not because he was very brave, but because he hoped to temper himself in this way.

This was the life he had chosen, wanting to live a long and lasting life, he needed to fight for it.

He told himself that he must be careful in the future, he must survive, otherwise, he would end up just like the twenty-one young bodies here.

The first floor was quiet for a long time until Junior Master Zhao, Uncle Dai, and Junior Master Cui walked in.

"Ah!" Junior Master Zhao and Uncle Dai, seeing the organized first floor and the twenty-one young bodies on the ground, sighed softly.

Your next chapter is on empire

These boys were once the cultivation seeds of the sect for five years, but now most were dead.

They glanced at the remaining ten people, and Li Shiming's performance still reassured them.

Although it involved Li Shiming's early cultivation, this was also a display of his strong will.

Looking at the other nine, four seemed emotionally stable, while it seemed the other five might have difficulty recovering later.

Junior Master Zhao came to the twenty-one bodies, sweeping his hand over them as he collected each into his storage bag.

Though these bodies didn't need to be sent back to their native places, they needed proper disposal, as the majority of sect cultivators in the Sky Sea Sect came from such backgrounds, and the feelings of the sect cultivators needed consideration.

"You all rest well, here are nine Calming Pills, take one each!" Junior Master Zhao then took out a porcelain bottle and flicked nine pills to the nine boys, instructing them.

The nine boys obediently took the elixirs and, within a moment after consuming them, quietly fell asleep.

"Li Shiming, come to the second floor to rest!" Junior Master Zhao beckoned to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming felt the Flying Boat shift under his feet, then it soared into the sky.

"Senior Brother Ma and Senior Brother Wu..." he began to ask but stopped midway, understanding what that implied.

Unlike the twenty-one young men, both Senior Brother Ma and Senior Brother Wu had forged a good friendship during this journey.

"They died in battle!" Junior Master Zhao shook his head and said.

Three Junior Masters walked upstairs, and Li Shiming silently followed them to the second floor.

The ground of the second floor had more complex Spiritual Power Patterns and the concentration of spiritual power had increased manifold.

"It's truly a pity today that we couldn't capture Jiang Bing!" Uncle Dai said with regret as he sat down.

"Senior Cui's strike left Jiang Bing seriously injured, had it not been for that Iron Corpse protecting him, Jiang Bing would have been captured. Even so, it will take Jiang Bing several years to recover!" Junior Master Zhao replied with a smile.

"It was the two Junior Brothers who trapped that scoundrel, otherwise he wouldn't have been easily hit by my sword!" Senior Cui humbly stated.

The three Foundation Establishment Cultivators adjusted quickly, or perhaps being accustomed to life and death, they managed to control their emotions well.

After arriving on the second floor, they showed no signs of sorrow on their faces.

Li Shiming was quietly astonished, wondering how formidable that Foundation Establishment Cultivator named Jiang Bing was, to escape from Senior Cui's ambush, even when facing two opponents.

He didn't know the strength of Junior Master Zhao and Uncle Dai, but he had witnessed Senior Cui's move, the strongest attack he had ever seen, which could obliterate anything in its path.

"Li Shiming, you have made great contributions this time. The sect will reward you, and I owe you a favor. Once you are familiar with the sect, you can make a request of me!" Junior Master Zhao looked at Li Shiming and said with a smile.

He had learned from Senior Cui that Li Shiming had single-handedly led away a Xuanming Sect Qi Refining Cultivator.

For Li Shiming, leading away a late-stage Qi Refining Cultivator from Xuanming Sect was almost a sure death.

Yet, it was Li Shiming's action that allowed Senior Cui to arrive in time and save nine youths, preventing all the youths from being killed.

Otherwise, when Junior Master Zhao returned to the sect, he would not only face punishment from the sect but also criticisms from fellow sect members.

He was also not worried that Li Shiming would misuse this promise, knowing that, with Li Shiming's intelligence, he would not make an unreasonable request, and he could easily resolve any Qi Refinement Realm requests.

"Count me in, you can also make a request of me!" Uncle Dai continued.

The two were very solemn. If they asked Li Shiming to make a request now, with his current understanding, the value of his request might be very low.

But by asking Li Shiming to wait until he was familiar with the sect to make his request, they did not want Li Shiming's efforts to be undervalued.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators are proud; at least the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not discount a request from the Qi Refinement Realm.

"Thank you, both Junior Masters!" Li Shiming bowed in gratitude.

"You deserve it!" Junior Master Zhao said with a broad smile.

"Senior Cui, this is the storage bag of the Xuanming Sect cultivator you killed!" Li Shiming took a storage bag from his waist and handed it to Senior Cui.

"Keep it for yourself. I trust you know your limits, do not study the Cultivation Techniques of the Xuanming Sect, as they can corrupt your nature and turn you bloodthirsty and murderous!" Senior Cui waved his hand and said.
