Shop entrance.
Lu Ming lazed around.
President Zhang Yang was very ambitious. He mocked Li Haoran with offending words and diverted his attention. He had no need to worry about it, after all, he was a Card Creator with potential.
However……
Had President Zhang Yang always been so overbearing?
Lu Ming felt odd.
He had his sister, Lu Yan as his backer, therefore he had no worries for other talented candidates. What about Zhang Yang?
Well……
Perhaps he believed what he said there?
Cough.
He had to be low-key, low key……
The exchange between the associations came to an end and Lu Ming waited to receive the reward.
That afternoon.
The “Eye of Insight” was there.
Although this card could not be compared to “Burial Mound Card”, it belonged to the same category as other three-star top-notch cards!
The energy consumption was three thousand points!
Well……
Forget about that, the main point was that he did not understand the lines!
It was three-star!
Lu Ming rubbed his head. It was time that he bought three-star foundation teaching materials.
It was odd. Even since he achieved two-star, most of the lines that he dealt with now were three-star, and many of them were technical lines!
“Xiaobai,” Lu Ming asked, “How is the learning progress for one-star cards going?”
“I have learned all of them.”
Xiaobai was very happy.
She felt that she was getting closer to the Swordsman!
“Good, have you read the two-star reading materials?” Lu Ming asked.
“I have read some of them.”
Xiaobai was very serious.
“Not bad.”
Lu Ming was very satisfied. “Your progress is very fast. It seems that you can read three-star materials very soon. I will purchase the three-star materials first. You can tell your father to reimburse it.”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai nodded.
Her father would usually pay for her learning materials.
Well……
It was just that at times he did not answer her calls.
At this very moment……
Somewhere.
Jiang Feng stared at the message that Xiaobai sent with a puzzled look on his face.
This child……
It was surprising that she was reading three-star materials now. It was odd, he remembered that she was still reading one-star materials previously.
He took a closer look at the amount. Indeed, it did not include all other expenses like equipment fees, education fees, daily expenses, utilities, heating fees, etc that Lu Ming asked for previously.
It was purely the textbook fees.
Forget it.
He must not save on textbook fees.
Jiang Feng did not think too much about it but transferred the money.
At this very moment……
Lu Ming stared in shock at the notification that money had been transferred.
So soon?!
Could it be that Old Jiang was dying?
If he was asking him to take care of his daughter, he wondered whether he was qualified……
Should he ask him about it?
Forget it.
Lu Ming dispelled the idea.
Three-star lines were not difficult to understand, but as the powerful card among other three-star cards, “Eye of Insight” contained complicated technical lines that he could not comprehend.
Thankfully……
It was okay!
This was unlike other three-star ultimate limit cards like the “Burial Mound Card”!
This was only a top-notch card!
Furthermore……
The president of the Card Creators Association was here!
There was nothing to be afraid of!
“President, I have some doubts.”
Lu Ming had a sincere inquiry.
“It’s alright, I will try to answer your doubts.”
Zhang Yang sounded very confident.
Lu Ming had just made a huge contribution, he had to satisfy his needs.
Hence……
Lu Ming proceeded to ask him about every question that he had regarding the techniques, as well as the techniques that he did not understand in Burial Mound Card.
The next day.
The president announced his resignation.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Did he need to go to this extent?!
He merely asked him questions throughout the night!
Presidents nowadays……
They could not persist for long.
Forget it.
I should look for the vice president.
“Vice president, I have some doubts.”
“Oh, sure.”
The vice president sounded very kind.
The second day.
The vice president announced his resignation.
“Why would he do that?”
Lu Ming gave a deep sigh.
He merely asked a few more questions!
Fortunately, the difficulty level of the “Eye of Insight” was not very high. After talking through the night with the two presidents, Lu Ming finally mastered the card.
Shush!
Shush!
Lu Ming drew the card easily with his Card Creating Pen.
Buzz
Lights flashed.
Radiance glowed on the card and it transformed. The “Eye of Insight” was completed.
“I’ve done it.”
Lu Ming was overjoyed.
“Should I test its effect?”
Lu Ming’s interest was piqued.
Click!
He inserted the card onto the machine, directing it toward himself.
Buzz
Lights danced in his eyes.
In the eyes of Lu Ming, everything became unreal. All that was left was a pure world of energy.
It was crystal clear.
He took a card at random and he could easily see the energy flowing route…… Of course, he could not see anything except for encrypted cards!
However, the vast majority of the core cards in the Card Restrictions were not encrypted.
Because it would be meaningless!
Even if one banned the lines, people could tell the algorithm from the energy restriction that was unprotected on the outside. It was meaningless to encrypt it.
It was only a waste of money!
“Let me see.”
Lu Ming reveled in this magical world of energy
Well……
Outside the shop.
He could even roughly see the energy intensity of the passing crowd.
There was a one-star cultivator……
Two one-star cultivators……
Eh?
One three-star cultivator!
“It is amazing.”
Lu Ming exclaimed in amazement.
The world looked spectacular from the perspective of the Eye of Insight. He could even tell the other party’s vocation based on the energy distribution!
For example, the three-star cultivator in front of him. An abundance of energy surged about him, spreading to his surrounding area. He might be those Energy Warriors that made use of energy to temper his body!
And for this other cultivator……
The energy gathered and converged on the chest area……
Lu Ming blinked, oh, the person must have done an energy-filled breast augmentation surgery.
Sorry for invading privacy.
Lu Ming behaved as if he had a new toy and he looked at the world with curious eyes. Right then, the world in front of him changed drastically.
A huge sun walked past him!
Sun?
Lu Ming looked at it automatically.
Yes.
In the energy world, the figure seemed like a sun!
Buzz
Lu Ming’s Eye of Insight was being shut off by force.
Yes.
It had run out of energy.
He merely took a quick look with it.
What the hell was this?
Lu Ming felt angst.
In the world of energy, a three-star simply had more powerful energy. But the person just now was a dazzling sun?!
Four-star? Five-star? Six-star?!
He had no idea at all!
Damn it!
Why would there be such a powerful cultivator at this level in Qing Ming City?
And the person was walking on the streets!
Lu Ming took a look and confirmed that he had not seen this person before. He did not see this person in the notices of all the various association presidents in Qing Ming City.
At this very moment……
The powerful cultivator disappeared at the corner.
Did the person merely pass by?
Lu Ming had a lot of doubts.
He could not be calm about the fact that there was a powerful cultivator near his house. The high energy concentration was terrifying and frightening. If the person harbored evil intentions……
Wait a minute.
Lu Ming suddenly thought of a place, the World of Darkness and Shadows!
Jiang Feng!
Could this person be here for Xiaobai?
Lu Ming was appalled.
He gave Jiang Feng a call immediately.
Under normal circumstances, Xiaobai was responsible for contacting Jiang Feng, while he rarely called him. They maintained a relationship purely based on the transaction of money.
“Tell me what’s wrong!”
Jiang Feng’s collected voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
e.
Lu Ming seldom called him. When he called him, it must be something important. Therefore, he had to answer the call.
“There was a four-star or higher cultivator near my house.”
Lu Ming paused briefly. “The person might be a five-star!”
Five-star……
Jiang Feng frowned.
What did it mean to be a five-star cultivator?
In Qing Ming City, the principals of the colleges, the presidents at the various associations only reached four-star level!
People like that……
Would actually turn up in Lu Ming’s neighborhood?
However……
He understood right away.
“Don’t worry.”
“The person should be just passing by,” Jiang Feng remarked.
“Really?”
Lu Ming was very doubtful.
He had been hunted down more than sixty times! Perhaps the other party could not catch him and hence was here to catch Xiaobai?!
“Yes.”
Jiang Feng sounded very calm. “There will be a lot of four-star and five-star cultivators at Qing Ming City these few days. Apart from the person that you saw, other cultivators will keep coming as well.”
“Oh?”
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
Keep coming……
Why would there be so many people in a city that was this small? Perhaps someone’s burial mound had been destroyed? Oh, or perhaps a Mystic Realm was discovered?
“It has nothing to do with you.”
Jiang Feng still maintained a calm composure. “Don’t get involved with the affairs of four-star and above cultivators!”
“Alright.”
Lu Ming shrugged.
He merely wanted to confirm that there was no danger.
However, even with the appearance of the four-star cultivators, how could Jiang Feng be so certain that the cultivator just now was not after he and Xiaobai?
Well……
At this very moment……
Lu Ming could hear faint panting sounds made by Jiang Feng coming from the other end of the phone. There was a rhythm to it……
“What are you doing?”
Lu Ming turned sullen.
“N-nothing.”
Jiang Feng still sounded calm. “In the future, call me only when there’s something serious. I am busy. I will end the call.”
Bang.
The call ended abruptly.
Before that, Lu Ming heard a low snarl.
It was earthshaking.
It was deafening.
That sound……
Lu Ming suddenly realized why Jiang Feng was so certain that no one was after him and Xiaobai.
Oh.
It was because he was being hunted down right now!!!
He was indeed the principal.
He could talk to Lu Ming on the phone while on the run.
He was very unflustered!
