After Lu Jin left, Lu Ming also left the Thunderfire Hall and headed straight for the local government office.
Upon entering the inner courtyard, Lu Ming was surprised to see Zhou Fuling's graceful figure standing in mid-air. She had her eyes slightly closed, as if she were cultivating, and her fair skin shimmered with a jade-like light.
What surprised Lu Ming the most was that behind Zhou Fuling, there was a pair of jade-green Primordial Qi wings. The wings slowly rippled, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, allowing her to stabilize in mid-air, just like the Feather Robe of Divine Ability Master.
"This is... a flying ability?!"
Lu Ming's eyes revealed an undisguised envy. Although once one enters the Divine Ability Master, one can cultivate the Divine Ability Feather Robe, which allows one to fly through the air with great convenience, Zhou Fuling was already able to do this even when she was Great Divine Ability Practitioner.
This is the benefit of the flying ability, and the key is that this ability can be combined with the Divine Ability Feather Robe, greatly increasing the speed of flying. With such an ability, the ability to survive is greatly enhanced.
However, the ability to fly is at least Upper Divine Ability power, and it is extremely rare. In terms of value, it far exceeds that of ordinary Upper Divine Ability.
The combined value of all the supernatural abilities of their Thunderfire Hall probably couldn't buy a single flying ability like this.
The fact that Zhou Fuling possessed such flying abilities even when she was Great Divine Ability Practitioner is enough to demonstrate that her background was truly extraordinary.
While Lu Ming was marveling at Zhou Fuling's display of flying abilities, the latter also noticed it. Her tightly closed beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and her sharp gaze was directed at him. However, when she saw that it was Lu Ming, her gaze gradually softened.
"You brat, how dare you pry into my supernatural powers! You'll be punished!" But then, a playful smile appeared on Zhou Fuling's fair face. With a soft shout, her jade-like Primordial Qi flapped suddenly, shooting out more than a dozen jade-like rays of light that enveloped Lu Ming like arrows.
Lu Ming could sense that there was no killing intent within those jade-green rainbows, so he smiled and a dark golden Flame Blade extended from his palm. Now that he had advanced to the Great Divine Ability Practitioner, he no longer needed to borrow " Fire Lotus Yuan Qi " to have already cultivated the Flame Blade to the Perfection Realm.
The Flame Blade slashed down, clanging and clattering, shattering all the azure jade rainbows.
"Huh?"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Fuling exclaimed in surprise. Only then did she realize that the Primordial Qi fluctuations emanating from Lu Ming were several times stronger than usual.
"You've become Great Divine Ability Practitioner?!"
A strange light flickered in Zhou Fuling's bright eyes, followed by a look of eager anticipation. She formed a hand seal, and a blue light flowed from her snow-white skin, making her appear as if she had transformed into a body of jade, further enhancing her beauty.
However, at the same time, the fluctuations of Primordial Qi emanating from its body suddenly surged.
"Let me play with it!"
Zhou Fuling chuckled, and with a flap of her Primordial Qi, her figure transformed into a streak of azure light as she shot down. At the same time, her slender, jade-like hand struck out directly at Lu Ming.
boom!
The seemingly delicate hand suddenly shattered the air, producing a piercing roar.
A casual slap was even more astonishing than Wang Chen's all-out attack at the tournament.
Lu Ming dared not be negligent. The Divine Ability Dharma Mark on his Divine Ability Bone brightened, drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. The dark golden Flame Blade in his hand became even more dazzling, its sharpness fierce. He then directly slashed at the jade palm that was coming towards him.
clang!
When the two clashed head-on, surprisingly, the palm and blade collided, and it was Lu Ming's seemingly fierce and violent dark gold fire blade that shattered.
The opponent's delicate, jade-like hand seemed to be the hardest thing in the world, crushing Lu Ming's Perfection Realm Flame Blade.
" Upper Divine Ability being?!"
Lu Ming was surprised again. Zhou Fuling usually looked like a delicate and weak girl, but he didn't expect that she had actually cultivated a physical supernatural power at the Upper Divine Ability level. Moreover, in their first encounter, Lu Ming sensed that the strength of her Primordial Qi was much stronger than his.
Clearly, the Divine Ability Dharma Mark that Zhou Fuling had condensed far surpassed his.
"Is this the prodigy from a powerful force? Their foundation is incredibly strong."
Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh. Physical supernatural abilities were also rare, especially those at the Upper Divine Ability level. But now, both physical supernatural abilities and flight supernatural abilities were on Zhou Fuling's body. Such a combination was indeed beyond the reach of the disciples in the Third-Tier Divine Ability Hall.
It seems he needs to master the Thunderfire Whip as soon as possible. The supernatural power he used to be so proud of has begun to weaken after he became Great Divine Ability Practitioner.
Zhou Fuling crushed the Flame Blade and suddenly stopped as she approached Lu Ming. The Primordial Qi wings on her back turned into azure light and dissipated, and the jade light flowing over her delicate body also dimmed and subsided.
She regained her composure, smiled, and gestured with her snow-white chin towards Lu Ming, saying, "How was it?"
"Senior sister is amazing, I can't compare to her." Lu Ming gave a thumbs up.
After spending a month together, he and Zhou Fuling grew much closer. Zhou Fuling had been teaching him all the Dao of Alchemy knowledge he was learning, so she thought it was too vulgar for him to keep calling her "Miss Zhou Fuling." Finally, she had a sudden idea and forced him to call her "Senior Sister."
Lu Ming didn't mind, so he changed his address and called Zhou Fuling "senior sister," which made her happy.
"Senior sister, were those flying and physical body techniques you just used?" Lu Ming asked curiously.
Zhou Fuling nodded slightly and said, "The flying technique is called ' Azure Jade Wings,' and the physical technique is called ' Mystic Jade Body.' Both are high-grade family-inherited techniques."
Lu Ming felt envious and longed to learn it, but unfortunately, saying it aloud would be offensive. It was someone else's family secret skill, and they were not related to him, so how could they possibly pass it on to him?
"You've reached the Great Divine Ability Practitioner?" Zhou Fuling looked at Lu Ming curiously and asked again to confirm.
Lu Ming nodded.
"As a newly promoted Great Divine Ability Practitioner, how many Divine Ability Dharma Mark have you condensed?"
"Two." Lu Ming lied without batting an eye.
Zhou Fuling, however, had no doubts and laughed, "I also had two paths back then, which is standard for High-Grade Divine Ability Bone."
"I'll go tell my fourth uncle; he's been waiting for this day for a long time."
She said something and then turned to look for Zhou Xuan, leaving Lu Ming to wait there.
Zhou Xuan arrived quickly. Sensing the fluctuations of Primordial Qi emanating from Lu Ming's body, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, you broke through the ' Divine Ability Barrier ' and entered the Great Divine Ability Practitioner in just one month."
"Then you can begin cultivating the ' Sun-Shining Golden Flame Banner '."
Lu Ming nodded. He had acquired a lot of knowledge about Dao of Alchemy in the past month, and his understanding of basic medicinal herbs and pharmacology was at a beginner level. Now that he had received the benefits, it was indeed time for him to start completing the task.
"I've already explained the key points of cultivating the Sun-Shining Golden Flame Banner to you these past few days. Now is the time when the sun is high in the sky, the most suitable time to cultivate this divine power."
"Sit here and take off your shirt," Zhou Xuan said, pointing to the stone table beside him.
Lu Ming didn't say much. He sat cross-legged on the stone table, took off his shirt to reveal his tall and capable body, which made Zhou Fuling blush slightly and spit.
Zhou Xuan then took out a jar filled with golden liquid, which faintly emitted peculiar fluctuations of Primordial Qi.
"This is Heaven-Shining Stone, polished from Gold Crystal. It's a secret material for beginners in cultivating the ' Sun-Shining Golden Flame Banner ' technique," he casually explained.
Lu Ming was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as the materials for the Upper Divine Ability Power were far more complex than those for the Lower Divine Ability and Middle Divine Ability.
Zhou Xuan dipped his finger in the golden liquid and then drew golden runes on Lu Ming's bare upper body.
laugh!
The golden liquid was hot and sharp, and when it cut across the skin, it brought a pain like being cut by a knife, but Lu Ming remained calm and let Zhou Xuan do as he pleased.
As soon as the golden runes were fully formed, Lu Ming immediately noticed that the sunlight from the blazing sun in the sky suddenly became scorching hot. When the sunlight passed through the golden runes on his body, it turned into strands of golden light, flowing into his body along with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
The golden light entered his body, instantly bringing a violent, burning pain.
"This is the first hurdle in cultivating the ' Sun-Shining Golden Flame Banner. ' The Sun-Shining Fire Qi will burn your body. You need to quickly draw out the Sun-Shining Fire Qi, circulate it according to the trajectory of the divine power, and finally reflect it on the Divine Ability Bone. Once this forms a divine power imprint, you will have entered the first stage of cultivation," Zhou Xuan's voice reminded you.
Lu Ming did as instructed, circulating the wisps of golden fire energy within his body. However, as time went on, his flesh and blood began to be burned, causing a look of pain to appear on his Upper Divine Ability was indeed more difficult than that of Middle Divine Ability.
However, just when Lu Ming felt he couldn't hold on any longer, the " Fire Lotus Mark " on his Divine Ability Bone suddenly shone brightly. The " Flame of Life " emitted a bright green light, and under the illumination of the flame, the wounds scorched by the golden fire were healing at an astonishing speed.
In a mere instant, the burns were completely healed.
As Lu Ming felt the burning pain disappear from his body, he breathed a sigh of relief. This " Flame of Life " was just too useful.
"Huh?"
However, just as Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed that the place that had been burned by the golden fire and then healed by the Flame of Life was now faintly emitting a golden light.
Lu Ming sensed it for a moment, and then a feeling of astonishment welled up in his heart.
He discovered that the flesh and bones, shimmering with golden light, seemed to have been tempered and were noticeably strengthened.
Could the golden flames of this Sun-Shining Golden Flame Banner have a body-refining effect? Wouldn't that be equivalent to a physical supernatural power?!
