Finally!

When Lu Ming heard the sound of the system activating, he was excited.

Half a year.

One hundred and eighty-eight days!

Do you know how I spent these one hundred and eighty-eight days?

System, do you know?!

I was watching my realm increase rapidly. It was too scary.

If this was a different style of the cultivation world, it wouldn’t be too bad.

What a pity.

No matter what, the system had finally been successfully activated.

Moreover, it had solved his urgent problem right from the start.

Lu Ming didn’t make a decision right away. He was prepared to study it carefully after arriving at the cave abode.

“We’re here.”

After Shen Zhong brought Lu Ming across the heavenly steps, they finally arrived at the disciple registration pavilion of Tianguang Peak.

Inside the pavilion sat a young lady dressed in a long purple dress. Her black hair draped over her shoulders. Her skin was snow-white and delicate, and she had both looks and temperament.

This also caused Lu Ming’s eyes to subconsciously light up.

“En, it’s you? Where’s Elder Mo from the original registration pavilion?”

As soon as he stepped into the pavilion, Shen Zhong saw that the person inside was already different. He spoke in a somewhat stunned manner.

“Disciple Lin Ciyue greets Master Shen.”

Seeing Shen Zhong enter, the young girl immediately stood up and bowed. It seemed that she was also a disciple from Bihu Peak.

“Elder Mo died in action when he was hunting down heretics in the Nascent Soul Stage.”

As soon as she finished her words, Lu Ming sighed in his heart. It wasn’t that he was sentimental, but he just didn’t want to end up like this after cultivating for a long time.

Then, both their voices sounded together.

“Is that so? It’s such a beautiful death!”

“It’s the honor of the disciples of the Center Sect to die on the battlefield after encircling the heretics!”

Shen Zhong didn’t show any sadness on his face; in fact, he was feeling proud of it.

“Yes, honor!”

Lin Ciyue echoed him.

What?

Was he serious about it?

Lu Ming was shocked when he heard what Shen Zhong said.

Yes, he was aware that disciples of the Center Sect advocated killing demons and dying in a glorious battle.

But the normal procedure was to sigh and express regret before saying such words.

Why were they all so proud of themselves?

If it weren’t for the fact that the disciples of the Center Sect were normal in other matters, Lu Ming would have doubted his life completely.

“Come, Yue’er, help your junior brother register.”

After ending the small talk, Shen Zhong immediately got down to business.

“Hmm? Register?”

“Didn’t this batch of Outer Disciples got recruited for only half a year? Could it be…”

Lin Ciyue’s beautiful eyes gradually lit up.

“That’s right, this time it’s my Bihu Peak’s turn to produce a peerless prodigy!”

Shen Zhong’s face was beaming with joy.

“Lu… Ming, Junior Brother Lu Ming, right?”

“Not only did junior brother successfully reach the Foundation Establishment in half a year, but he’s also so handsome. He’s truly a peerless prodigy.”

“This is your Heavenly Grade A cave abode token and the embroidered golden thread disciple clothes.”

Lin Ciyue quickly completed the registration. While praising him, she took out the token and disciple clothes.

“Thank you, senior sister.”

Lu Ming took them and nodded slightly.

“Okay, Master Shen, I’ll take Junior Brother Lu Ming to his cave abode.”

Lin Ciyue said to Shen Zhong as she stood up and left the registration pavilion.

“Okay.”

In fact, Shen Zhong was also a little anxious because he had to go to Pill Peak to collect the realm-breaking pill.

After the two sides said their goodbyes, Shen Zhong went to the Pill Peak.

Lin Ciyue also brought Lu Ming to the Heavenly Grade A cave abode.

“Junior Brother Lu Ming, this is your cave abode.”

“You don’t know how much I envy your talent. This is the cave abode that countless Inner Disciples want to get their hands on.”

Lin Ciyue’s entire body was exuding a faint fragrance. On the way, she would deliberately make physical contact from time to time, so it also disturbed Lu Ming somewhat.

But he quickly suppressed it.

Because after personally hearing this senior sister talk about “honor”, he no longer had any interest in her.

“Especially this Grade A cave abode. Every day, it will automatically condense the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, and it can also help you with your cultivation.”

Lin Ciyue spoke with an envious tone.

Hiss.

This kind of cave abode, it was better not to live in it!

Lu Ming cursed in his heart. He nodded slightly on the surface and politely brushed her off.

Lin Ciyue left after explaining a few more things. Lu Ming finally entered the cave abode and checked his Golden Finger.

…

“I will choose the scientific data-based alchemy technique gift pack!”

Without any hesitation, when the gift pack options appeared in his mind again, Lu Ming chose the alchemy technique gift pack immediately.

In the conversation just now, he had asked Lin Ciyue about the alchemy disciples.

Although Pill Peak rarely made mistakes in the past when testing for alchemy qualifications, such situations still existed.

If he obtained the alchemy qualification through the system, he still had a chance to become an alchemist.

“Ding.”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 alchemy experience points!”

“Officially becoming a Rank 1 alchemist.”

“Currently distributing scientific data-based alchemy techniques…”

“Unlocking system mission for becoming a Rank 2 alchemist… unlocking completed.”

The alchemy techniques were still in the process of being distributed.

However, the system mission had already been unlocked and appeared before Lu Ming’s eyes:

[System mission: When you have successfully promoted scientific alchemy techniques to 1 person, you can obtain 500 alchemy experience points, officially become a Rank 2 alchemist and unlock all scientific alchemy methods for Rank 2 elixirs.]

Tsk.

After Lu Ming saw the system mission, he was a little hesitant.

After all, he still did not know what scientific alchemy was all about. If it was a particularly outrageous one, then it would be impossible to promote it.

If he was promoting the scientific alchemy technique in his sect, it would be even more troublesome if others mistook him as a heretic.

It would be better to wait until he understood it first.

“Ding, scientific data-based alchemy knowledge has been distributed.”

The moment the system sounded, Lu Ming felt two auras surging wildly in his body before slowly gathering together.

After this feeling appeared, Lu Ming subconsciously looked inside his body and discovered that the five spiritual roots in his body were radiating light at the same time.

Previously, his water spiritual root was dim and hadn’t awakened yet.

Could it be that the system defied the Heavens and changed fate to help him awaken his water spiritual root?

Wait a minute.

No.

Combining this with the scientific data of cultivation that appeared in his mind at this moment, Lu Ming understood that an alchemist needed the water element released by the water spiritual root. Because he didn’t awaken the water spiritual root, he was naturally tested to have no alchemy qualification.

The water element could also be made from the oxygen element in the wood spiritual root and the hydrogen element in the metal spiritual root!

And with the wood spiritual root and the metal spiritual root, he could naturally perform alchemy!

The system did not help him awaken the water spiritual root but helped to solve this problem through a more reasonable scientific method.

Moreover, the solution to this problem was of great practical significance!
