Qi Shan started dancing around happily as she admired the design of the Pearl Necklace.
"Hehe, why didn't you give it to me earlier?" Qi Shan asked, smacking Jiang Ming's back lightly. She was like a young girl that had received her favorite toy.
As for Jiang Ming, he regretted giving her the Pearl Necklace right away instead of waiting for the right timing.
'Damn it, my back is hurting so much now thanks to her smack,' He cursed silently. Although it was a light smack from her, their cultivation base was way too apart.
Hence, a light snack from her was enough to make some of his bones rupture in the process.
Jiang Ming hurriedly retrieved the flawless recovery pill that he had refined previously and consumed it. Once he consumed it, the injury disappeared, giving him a sigh of relief.
And as for the promise of giving the flawless pill to either Alchemist Ren or Chau Zhimen, he didn't bother with it. Worst comes to worst, he could just refine another flawless pill. Refining a flawless pill is like a walk in the park for someone skillful like him.
"Anyway, with that Pearl Necklace, I hope you will come out and assist me when I summon you." Jiang Ming coughed slightly and gave his reason.
Qi Shan is a Spiritual King Realm cultivator, the highest in the Northern Continent and possibly the entirety of this world.
Hence, as long as he could have her help in a critical moment, victory would be guaranteed.
Qi Shan pondered for a while before shrugging her shoulders.
"Whatever, but I'm only going to warn you once. I will assist you one time and no more than that." She said calmly. She had her own goal for the upcoming ancient ruin as well, so she wasn't going to be a full-time bodyguard for him.
Jiang Ming nodded his head.
Although he could use the summoning gacha function to command her, he didn't want to use it as a restriction for her. He wanted to retain their neutral relationship and not one where she is subservient to him out of her will.
"If there's nothing else, then I'm leaving. I still have something to do in the Haze Forest yet you summoned me unannounced." Qi Shan played with her Pearl Necklace before flying away.
Within a few seconds, she was already nowhere in sight, showcasing her high cultivation base prowess.
'Tch, it's not like I can't do the same either.' Jiang Ming clicked his tongue. If it wasn't because he wanted to perfect each stage of his cultivation, then he would have already broken through to the new realm.
To keep up with his cool appearance, Jiang Ming burned the corpse of Shaoxing Ming with the Moonstow Flame. Afterward, he kicked the ground softly, propelling himself high above the sky.
He then circulated his spiritual qi on his palm, creating some sort of blast to maneuver around, imitating the action of flying in the sky.
It might sound childish, but it was a good form of practice in manipulating and utilizing his spiritual qi.
'Now that I dealt with Shaoxing Ming and convinced Qi Shan as my trump card… I should probably head back to the alchemist guild.' Jiang Ming thought.
Originally, he thought he had a lot more things to do, but surprisingly, almost all of his problems were solved.
'GLCS, remember to keep me updated whenever there's an event with exclusive items available. I'll need to purchase them all first-hand.' Jiang Ming said to the system. He might not be able to participate in the event, but it was for the better.
After all, he could directly purchase those exclusive items without actually completing any required missions. That was an extreme bargain for a hardcore gamer like him.
Ding!
<Duly noted, Player Jiang Ming>
<GLCS shall inform you whenever there's an exclusive item available>
<In addition, does Player Jiang Ming wish for the GLCS to safekeep those items for you, guaranteeing that you'll be the first one to purchase them? Y/N>
–
Reading the system prompt, Jiang Ming had his mouth opened in an 'O' shape.
'Safekeep the items?' He exclaimed inwardly in shock. Soon, his lips curled upward as he started laughing wickedly.
The GLCS meaning was that he could call dibs on all the newest and exclusive items from other players.
How could he not be overjoyed by this?
"GLCS, have I ever told you how much I freaking love you?" Jiang Ming said aloud, not even bothering to use their telepathy. The excitement was immense- to the point that Jiang Ming had forgotten about his current location and almost crashed toward a tall building.
Luckily, he managed to propel himself away by using his palm to create a reverse force. Otherwise, he was going to crash his face on a concrete wall.
Ding!
<Player Jiang Ming should mind himself about the flying traffic law.>
–
GLCS teased him, prompting Jiang Ming to scratch his head slightly in embarrassment. Imagine if the news were to be told that a cultivator accidentally crashed himself while flying were to spread. It would be a laughing matter within a few days.
'Anyway, safekeep all of the items for me. Also, keep me updated when the ancient ruin appears.' Jiang Ming said telepathy, zooming through the buildings to enter the alchemist guild.
Once he entered the alchemist guild, he saw Chau Heung and Hong Ling still chatting merrily on the side bench.
Their appearance alone caused a slight commotion for other customers since they were discussing a famous person in the Northern Continent, Jiang Ming.
'Seriously? Didn't they just gossip about me before I left? How could they still have more topics regarding me?' Jiang Ming wondered silently.
Instead of revealing himself to them, he decided to sneak behind a wall and enhance his hearing to eavesdrop.
However, he was quickly caught before he could even hear anything.
"Young Master, why are you hiding behind a wall like some creepy pervert?" Hong Ling asked with a cheeky smile on her face.
