The blue light lasted for a while, but it never dissipated, but had a tendency to get stronger and stronger. For some reason, Lu Ming suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Although the light looked beautiful, it needed to burn spiritual energy as the cost. The original body’s vigorous spiritual energy was like a leaky pot, and at a very fast speed, it was quickly sucked away by the colorful Liuli Stone.

Lu Ming gradually felt uncomfortable, his face became paler and paler. He wanted to draw back his palm attached to the Liuli Stone, but for some reason, his body suddenly became uncontrollable. His body’s spiritual energy was taken away too much, so he began to tremble. His lips gradually turned from white to purple, a flash of pain surfaced in his eyes, his body began to shake because of his weakness.

233 anxiously shouted, “No, it’s a trap!”

The people around seemed to have noticed Lu Ming’s abnormality, seeing his face pale, but no one went up to ask. They just stood there looking at each other, not knowing what had happened.

He Yuanqi was slightly stunned and said, “What’s going on?”

Yunji also saw Lu Ming’s strange state, and felt some doubts, “If the test is over, the Liuli Stone will automatically extinguish the light, and then you can pull your hand away. Your son has already finished the test, why…”

Before Yunji could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden voice. The voice was filled with disbelief and fear, shouting at the crowd, “Look! That blue light is interspersed with black gas! This… This is the color that only demon cultivators can have!”

The crowd was shocked and raised their eyes to look at Lu Ming’s direction. Only to see that among the light blue luster, there were indeed a few traces of black luster faintly visible. The black gas grew more and more, and finally began to devour the original pure and flawless light blue luster. Not long after, the black gas wrapped around Lu Ming, and even his body was somewhat indistinct, extremely bizarre.

Everyone in the room was astonished. Anyone with some common sense knew that no matter what one’s qualifications or status was, if one abandoned the orthodox method of a cultivator and instead looked for shortcuts and adopted the demonic path of killing people and stealing their inner cores, one would be disliked throughout the Cultivation World and will be attacked collectively by the orthodox cultivators. The general public would not choose to take this rugged path until the last resort. The young master’s rich aura and excellent bones were all due to his fall into the ranks of demonic cultivation.

Yunji looked at Lu Ming with shock and anger in his eyes and said in a stern voice, “What is this all about?!”

He Yuanqi did not say anything, his gaze was dark, staring at Lu Ming without saying a word.

Not far away, He Qingqiu and Liu Shuyun glanced at each other, and the color flashed in their eyes was unmistakable. With a malicious smile at the corner of her mouth, Liu Shuyun winked at He Qingqiu, who immediately nodded and, while the crowd was talking, suddenly shouted, “How can the He family allow this demon cultivator to live in the world and ruin its reputation? Kill him! Kill He Qingci!”

When the crowd heard this, the anger in their eyes increased, and their disgust for the demon cultivator came from the bottom of their hearts, so they echoed the words. The next few elders hurriedly said to He Yuanqi, “Demon cultivators have been the shame of Cultivation World since ancient times. If we don’t kill him today, he will definitely kill and take away cores in the future, causing harm to others.”

Xu Zhongyan’s face suddenly turned white and she fell to her knees and cried, “Husband, Qingci has always been good and obedient, good-hearted and pure, how could he practice such evil methods! Please don’t take his life so rashly for the sake of your past love!”

He Yuanqi pondered for a moment, coldly looked at the elder, walked forward to help Xu Zhongyan who fell to the ground, slowly said to the crowd, “This matter has not yet been decided, and it is very strange. Before the investigation is clear, no one can mention this matter again. If Qingci really fell into the demonic path, I will kill him with my own hands.”

The elder wanted to say something else, but was scared to death when he met He Yuanqi’s icy gaze and dared not speak again.

On the other hand, although Lu Ming could not move his body, he heard the words of the party in his ears. He was sure that He Qingci himself was still a humiliated young master of the He family before he arrived, and could not even exert his aura, so where did he get the idea of being a demon cultivator? If he was right, someone must have played a trick in the middle.

233 hurriedly said, [Host, there seems to be something wrong with that black stone tablet.]

Lu Ming’s body’s aura was drained away, but the Liuli Stone still refused to let him go, so he had to grit his teeth with a white face and said, [What should we do now?]

233 anxiously scratching his ears, [Although I can pull master into space, if you disappeared in front of everyone, it will be your demon cultivation change confirmed. The only way now is to destroy this Liuli Stone!]

Lu Ming nodded and said in a deep voice, [You tell me what to do.]

233 said, [I can stop the flow of time here for one second and bring you to my storage space quickly. While twenty-four hours have passed in that space, exactly one second has passed in the outside world. Therefore, master must strive to learn to master the use of aura in a flexible way within twenty-four hours. Only by reaching the highest value of the energy and releasing it within an instant will it be possible to completely destroy this Liuli Stone within one move.]

[Twenty-four hours?] Lu Ming pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke, [In that case, let’s begin!]

233 nodded and began to mumble, [Start the program… Enter super space mode!]

The words just fell, Lu Ming suddenly felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, his body seemed to be electrocuted as if numbness and pain. His brain rumbled, the sound of rustling wind came to his ears, and he instantly disappeared in the same place.

Lu Ming felt his body was falling, until after a long time, the fall only stopped, the body landed on a soft object, and the electric-like numbness and pain also disappeared. He opened his eyes and looked around, and a huge white space appeared in front of him.

This space was almost nothing, as far as the eye could see. Everything was white, quiet without any sound, even his breathing could be heard.

This was the storage space that 233 mentioned?

Lu Ming was about to open his mouth to call 233, when only a few meters away from him the air suddenly seemed to be torn open a slit, and a blue creature ¹immediately parabolic straight towards himself.

Lu Ming subconsciously took two steps back, the creature fell hard to the ground and let out a miserable scream. Lu Ming fixed his eyes and saw that it was the little fat dragon. He hurriedly went forward and knelt down and said guiltily, “Are you okay?”

233 raised his little head and looked at his host with sadness and tears in his eyes, “Host, can I turn down the pain perception a little? I think the main circuit board in my brain is about to catch fire!”

Lu Ming’s mouth twitched and said, “Then can you stop appearing so suddenly every time?”

The little fat dragon got up from the ground, rubbed his face which was hurt by the impact, and said, “After entering the storage space, the place one is transported to is random, actually I didn’t do this on purpose.”

Lu Ming helplessly glanced at a certain stupid creature, decided not to continue to discuss this topic with it, while looking around, wondered, “How come there is nothing in here?”

233 explained, “This space is specially for you to cultivate, and there is another one for storing items.”

After that, 233 stretched out his claw and waved it towards the front. Immediately after that, a green box appeared in Lu Ming’s hand. 233 fervently said, “In the box there is a cultivation manual, and a bottle of excellent quality Foundation Establishment Pills. As the saying goes, a tall building rises from the ground. Refining Artifacts begins with the foundation. He Qingci originally took a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills and if you look at your current state, taking 100 days to reach Foundation Establishment is not necessary, but you also need to spend a few days to learn how to use your aura. Please hurry up, you only have one chance!”

Lu Ming waved his hand and said, “In that case, I will begin.”

Lu Ming sat down cross-legged, took a Foundation Establishment Pill and opened the cultivation manual, beginning to read it carefully.
