"Thank you, Miss Ji!"
After a while, Lu Ming took a deep breath to calm himself down and thanked Ji Hongchen.
Today, she had solved many of Lu Ming's doubts.
"You're welcome. I'll leave first. I'll come find you when I find the auras of the ten great clans' patriarchs!"
Ji Hongchen said. Before she left, Ji Hongchen blinked and looked at Lu Ming. "Do you really trust me? Aren't you afraid that I'll find an expert to take you down? If that's the case, the two Origin Tokens will be in our hands!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Didn't I just say it? I trust you, Miss Ji! "
Ji Hongchen cracked a smile and flew away.
After Ji Hongchen left, Lu Ming changed his appearance again and returned to the outskirts of the mountain where he was supposed to guard.
Unexpectedly, Ji Hongchen came to find Lu Ming the next night.
"Lu Ming, this is the teacup that my father drank from. I believe it'll be useful to you!"
Ji Hongchen handed a jade teacup to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming received it happily and said, "Thank you, Miss Ji!"
Ji Hongchen smiled faintly, but didn't say anything else as he drifted away.
Then, the detailed diagram of the Qi Meridian Chain Formation appeared in Lu Ming's mind.
During this period of time, he had already analyzed all the mysteries of the Qi Meridian Chain Formation and imprinted them in his mind.
Then, he took out a jade talisman and extracted the aura of the Ji Clan from the teacup. He absorbed it into the jade talisman and started to inscribe inscriptions on it.
Three days later, the first Formation Breaking Token was successfully refined.
As long as one held this token and entered the formation corresponding to the Ji Clan Patriarch, the formation would not send out an alarm.
Unfortunately, the Qi Meridian Chain Formation required ten tokens. It would be useless if one was missing.
A few days later, Ji Hongchen sent over the aura of the second Patriarch.
"Lu Ming, some of the Patriarchs are on good terms with my father, so it's easy for me to get them. However, some of the Patriarchs are against my father, so it'll be troublesome. I'll need some time!"
This was what Ji Hongchen told Lu Ming before he left.
Lu Ming could understand. After all, it was the aura of a fourth-layer Martial Dominator Realm expert. It was not easy to acquire the aura of the Ten Great Clans of the Southern God Palace.
Lu Ming could only refine the aura in his hand into a token.
Other than guarding the formation, Lu Ming cultivated by himself and strengthened his Spirit Fire, so he didn't waste any time.
Time passed day by day.
In the outside world, apart from cultivating, Lu Ming's true body would occasionally appear to attract the attention of others.
More and more experts joined the hunt for Lu Ming. In addition to the experts from the other three Divine Palaces, the experts from the other continents also came to the Divine Ruins.
However, Lu Ming was proficient in illusionary aura techniques and could change his aura. Moreover, his battle prowess was formidable. Every time he appeared, he would easily escape after stirring up the situation.
Just like that, four months passed in the blink of an eye.
The two year agreement with the Yuanlu Great Sect was getting closer and closer.
In the past four months, Lu Ming had refined seven Formation Breaking Badges.
Currently, Ji Hongchen's speed of acquiring aura was getting slower and slower. The time required was getting longer and longer.
The remaining people were all enemies of the Ji Clan, thus it was extremely difficult to acquire their auras.
Night fell!
Lu Ming sat cross-legged on a piece of green rock and closed his eyes to cultivate. Between heaven and earth, there were wisps of invisible power of inscription descending from the law of inscription and being absorbed by Lu Ming. In Lu Ming's Sea of Consciousness, the mental flame gradually grew stronger.
Suddenly, Lu Ming opened his eyes and glanced ahead.
"Here they are again!"
Lu Ming mumbled.
Two black figures were traveling silently in the formation. Apart from Lu Ming, no one else noticed them.
The two figures were not Ji Hongchen, but someone else.
Two months ago, these two figures had secretly come to observe the Energy Meridian Chain Formation in the mountain.
Behind them, Lu Ming was secretly observing them and finally discovered them.
The two people who were secretly observing them were actually experts from the Wang Clan, one of the top ten clans of the Southern Divine Palace.
Lu Ming guessed that the Wang Clan also wanted to refine the Formation Breaking Badges. Their goal was simple: to take Long Chen away and keep the Chaos Essence Token for themselves.
After a while, the two figures left.
After the two figures left, another figure came. It was Ji Hongchen.
This time, Ji Hongchen brought the eighth aura.
"Lu Ming, there are two more!"
Ji Hongchen's face was slightly haggard. It was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort to acquire the auras of the top ten clans.
Lu Ming was quite touched.
After Ji Hongchen left, Lu Ming continued to refine the Formation Breaking Badges.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. Ji Hongchen brought the ninth aura.
It had been five months since Lu Ming entered the Southern Divine Palace.
After receiving the auras, Lu Ming began to refine the Formation Breaking Badges. However, something unexpected took place that night.
More than ten figures were traveling in the darkness, heading deep into the mountain.
"Is that …"
Lu Ming was astounded.
The dozen or so black shadows were all powerhouses. They were all Rulers.
One of them even possessed an immeasurable cultivation, a fourth-layer Martial Dominator Realm expert.
"Fourth-layer Martial Dominator Realm cultivators are rare in the entire Southern Divine Palace. Could it be that the Patriarch of the Wang Clan is here in person? With so many experts from the Wang Clan here, could it be that they have already refined ten Formation Breaking Badges?"
Lu Ming made a guess secretly. Inscriptions appeared on his body and he restrained his aura to the extreme. With a sway of his figure, he silently followed behind the dozen figures.
As they arrived before the Chain Qi Formation, the strongest expert waved his hand and took out ten jade badges.
As expected, he had refined ten Formation Breaking Badges, which was faster than Lu Ming.
The ten Formation Breaking Medallions emitted a layer of light that enveloped the ten or so black figures. The ten or so black figures charged into the Chain Meridian Formation without causing any ripples.
Not long after, more than a dozen black shadows rushed into the cave and disappeared.
Lu Ming frowned.
Now that the plan had changed beyond his expectations, he could only take one step at a time.
Not long after, the figures reappeared in the cave, but this time, there was an extra person among them.
Long Chen!
At one glance, Lu Ming saw that one of the dozen people was Long Chen.
Long Chen's face was slightly pale as he was being carried by one of the figures.
It was obvious that Long Chen had suffered a lot during this period, but he was still determined.
The figures carried Long Chen and swiftly passed through the formation, arriving at the outermost formation.
As they were about to pass through the formation and escape...
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Several powerful auras suddenly exploded in the air.
There were more than a hundred of them.
Following this, more than a hundred figures descended and surrounded the figures.
"Wang Sheng, you're trying to monopolize the Chaotic Badges. Do you think we don't know that you've found someone to refine the Formation Breaking Badges?"
A white-haired old man snapped coldly.
"HAHAHA!"
The one with the strongest aura among the figures burst out laughing as he unleashed his True Force, shattering the black robe around him, revealing his true appearance.
It was the Patriarch of the Wang Clan, Wang Sheng!
