Cultivation: I Can Add Descriptors To My Body-Chapter 23
Chapter 23
A demon of this level might be a big challenge to ordinary qi refinement disciples.
But Li Ming felt very relaxed when dealing with it.
The most troublesome part for him was tracking these demons down.
Fortunately, these demons did not dare to go to the cities of the kingdom. After all, the soldiers guarding these cities would immediately inform the nearby immortal masters to come and eliminate the demons.
They could only flee in the wilderness and would naturally leave behind many traces.
With him now having experienced capturing one demon, Li Ming felt that he would be able to successfully complete the mission sooner or later.
However, the second demon’s disguise ability was very strong, so he had to spend some effort to deal with it.
Half a month later.
“This is the third one…”
In a dense forest, Li Ming’s eyes bolted around like lightning as he locked onto the position of his prey.
In the next moment, his footsteps blurred as he executed the Wind Lightning Steps!
He had never completely unleashed the might of the Wind Lightning Steps inside the sect.
But this time, he had no need to hold back.
Li Ming tapped lightly on the branches and dashed through the forest like the wind.
After he landed on the ground, he began moving as fast as lightning once again.
“Immortal master, please spare my life!”
The demon saw that it could not escape and tried to beg for mercy.
However, Li Ming turned a deaf ear to it. He knew that some demons could use illusions to confuse people until they had difficulty discerning between what was real and what was not.
“Bang!”
He unleashed a simple punch while visualizing the forest divinity of the five divinities. After being struck by that punch, the demon was sent crashing into a tree.
After that, Li Ming took out a new magic storage bag and stored the demon inside.
He now had three demons hanging on his waist and accomplished his mission.
“There should not be any more demons that escaped in this direction.”
Li Ming pondered in his heart. He could now return to the sect and give them a report on the mission. He had done his part for the sect. However, what was most important to him was still obtaining the purple entry.
He took out the map to take a look and found that he had really chased them for quite a distance.
He had almost traveled as far as half of the kingdom.
The demons probably did not expect the human cultivator to be so persistent.
Li Ming found his way back.
At midnight, Li Ming, who had not had a good sleep for days, saw a temple nearby.
The temple was a little shabby and was located in the wilderness, far away from the town.
It just so happened to be a suitable place for him to rest for the night.
…
The sky was already dark.
As he walked closer to the temple, he could see how dilapidated it was.
Not only were the candles on the incense table turned over and scattered, but even the idols that should have been originally worshipped here could not be seen anywhere.
Li Ming ignited a flame on his fingertips and found a clean place in a corner without cobwebs and animal feces.
He casually spread out some dried straw and sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate and rest.
Not long after.
While he was in the middle of meditating, he heard someone’s voice outside the temple.
“It’s really cold at night.”
“It’s great that we’ve finally arrived at the Waterflame Temple. We’ve already brought the goods!”
“It’s all that son of a b*tch’s fault. Otherwise, we would not have had to stay outside until so late at night…”
The voices were accompanied by a bunch of curses.
A group of burly men entered the temple one after another. They placed torches on the incense table and carried many boxes of goods.
This group of people was still wearing their escort uniforms.
From the looks of it, they were a group of mortals who were responsible for escorting goods.
After entering the temple, they also noticed Li Ming in the corner.
When they saw that he was wearing a scholarly robe and his figure was not obvious, they thought that he was a scholar from the kingdom and did not pay him much attention.
One of the burly men began to count the number of people.
Thus, a group of people occupied the central area of the temple noisily, unloaded their goods, and sat on the ground in a mess.
After counting the number of people, the burly man in the lead found a broom and swept out an empty space.
“Burn some of the firewood we brought. It’s quite cold here…”
The crackling sound of a bonfire could soon be heard coming from the central area of the temple.
Then, they started chatting casually.
They did not intend to invite Li Ming, so he was left to his own devices in the corner.
If not necessary, cultivators should avoid karma.
Li Ming did not care about these mortals and simply continued meditating.
Both sides were at peace.
The moon rose further up into the sky, and it was soon already midnight.
Some of the men had already fallen asleep, while others were still chatting amongst themselves.
At this moment, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes.
Then, a tall woman in a long dress stepped into the temple. She was beautiful and dignified, and the light from the fire revealed her somewhat beautiful face.
The woman appeared to be in her twenties, and she had an especially refined temperament.
“Someone has come!”
“Why are you so excited about someone having come?”
“See for yourself.”
The men who were warming themselves by the fire turned to look at the temple’s entrance and saw a beautiful woman walking into the temple.
They were all a group of burly men, so they had never seen such a beautiful woman.
Immediately, everyone’s eyes widened.
A burly man said in a deep voice, “Madam, it’s freezing here. Why don’t you come over here to warm yourself up?”
They had cleaned up the center of the temple and made space for a bonfire, making the area they were staying at quite warm.
Upon hearing the escort leader’s invitation, the other men were extremely attentive. They squeezed left and right, leaving a clean haystack for the woman.
“Quick, give her some space.”
The men were no longer sleepy and looked at the beautiful woman at the entrance.
The beautiful woman ignored them and walked to Li Ming’s side in the corner.
“Uh…”
The burly man was immediately stunned.
The rest of the men shut their mouths.
The temple fell silent.
Although the beautiful woman did not sit next to them, that did not stop their eyes from looking at her.
One by one, they all looked over. Of course, they did not care about Li Ming at all. All of their eyes were focused on the beautiful woman.
…
Li Ming did not move.
The group of mortals was anxiously waiting for him, but he did not react at all. It was as if he had fallen asleep.
However, he became vigilant.
Something was wrong.
How could there be a beautiful woman outside alone at such a late hour?
It was rare even in a town, not to mention in the wilderness.
He used his divine sense to sweep over the beautiful woman, but he did not notice anything strange.
Either that or the other party was a very powerful existence that could disguise herself to the point that even he could not discover it.
Or something must have happened, causing this woman to end up here.
Of course, no matter which one it was, it had nothing to do with him.
“Young master, there’s a cold wind blowing tonight. Shouldn’t you burn some firewood? ”
The beautiful woman asked Li Ming.
Before Li Ming could speak, he found that she had run to the side room of the temple and eagerly brought firewood to burn.
From her actions, she really seemed like an ordinary person.
However, Li Ming still did not dare to let his guard down.
“Tak, tak, tak.”
Seeing this beautiful woman come back with firewood, her body looked particularly enchanting.
The burly men who were on escort duty finally could not hold it in anymore.
After watching for so long, they had long grown envious.
Two burly men immediately stood up and smiled at each other.
“I can’t hold it any longer!”
“Second brother, you also…”
“Haha, isn’t that what we brigands do? Chief?”
The two of them took off their felt hats, their faces turning fierce.
The burly man that had been spoken to did not stop them and only said, “Second brother, you go.”
It turned out that this group of people were not just some simple escorts after all.
Instead, they were brigands disguised as a protection and courier agency. It appeared that they had kidnapped many women, but they had never met such a refined woman.
That deputy chief had long had evil thoughts.
He immediately went over to the beautiful woman, wanting to pull her to the area where they were staying.
