Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 644 I'm not stupid, I'm very smart
That morning, Xu Ming got up early.

When Xu Ming walked out of the room, he saw Lin Xingluo standing at the door, smiling at him.

Lin Xingluo also knew that today was the day the young master was leaving the Kingdom of Myriad Elephants.

Therefore, Lin Xingluo had already made preparations, packed her bags, and was just waiting for the young master to leave with her.

During this time, Lin Xingluo actually stayed quite comfortably in the Kingdom of Myriad Phenomena, but she didn't dislike wandering around this world with the young master.

Because in Lin Xingluo's heart, there is only the young master.

As long as she could be with the young master, nothing else mattered to Lin Xingluo; she didn't care where she went.

"Is everything packed?" Xu Ming asked Lin Xingluo.

Lin Xingluo nodded: "Yes, young master has finished packing."

"Now that we're all packed, let's go."

"Good son."

Lin Xinglu walked out of the courtyard.

When Lin Xingluo was about to leave, she naturally went to find Bai Libing first to say goodbye properly.

Regardless of the circumstances, Bai Libing is the ruler of the Wanxiang Kingdom.

As a guest, I should definitely say goodbye before leaving.

Xu Ming also had some things he wanted to tell Bai Libing.

Soon, Xu Ming arrived at Bai Libing's courtyard.

Since Xu Ming arrived in Wanxiang Kingdom, he has been able to freely enter and leave Bai Libing's courtyard and palace without any restrictions.

This is something that many ministers of Vientiane did not expect.

Many ministers even suspected that Bai Libing had some kind of relationship with this human cultivator, and whether something had happened between the two.

But no one dared to say a word.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, whether it's their own emperor or this human cultivator, it's all the same.

They have all made tremendous contributions to the Kingdom of Vientiane.

If it weren't for this human cultivator, the Myriad Elephants Kingdom might still be in a state of chaos.

Bai Libing had just returned from the morning court session, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xu Ming.

On the battlefield, Bai Libing displayed great bravery.

There was even a woman whose yin energy resembled that of Wu Yanhan on the battlefield.

However, when Bai Libing left the battlefield and was alone with Xu Ming, she behaved completely differently.

At this moment, Bai Libing was like a little girl who had never experienced the ways of the world.

There was still a hint of innocence in her eyes.

In fact, Xu Ming also knew that Bai Libing was not as innocent and naive as she seemed.

But this wasn't something Bai Libing deliberately put on for Xu Ming's benefit.

It's just the base color of Bai Libing.

The emperor was her disguise.

However, in front of Xu Ming, Bai Libing dropped all her pretense.

Are you saying Bai Libing is stupid?

Bai Libing is not stupid at all.

The opposite of.

Bai Libing is actually very smart.

Otherwise, Bai Libing wouldn't be in this situation now.

At that time, whether it was charging into battle, dealing with vassal kings, bestowing titles upon ministers, or appeasing the people, etc.

All of this demonstrates that Bai Libing is indeed a qualified emperor.

Although using the word "qualified" seems to be a bit of a demeanor towards her.

But the truth is, being a qualified emperor is very difficult.

In today's dynasties, whether they are demon kingdoms or human kingdoms, at least half of the emperors are unqualified.

Bai Libing was indeed not a qualified emperor at the beginning.

But as she grew, Bai Libing gradually figured out her own way of doing things.

At this moment, in Xu Ming's view, Bai Libing was fully capable of ruling such a country.

Moreover, now that the court has been purged, the entire court has been completely transformed.

Although some officials are not so concerned about certain things.

The entire bureaucratic system operates somewhat awkwardly.

But this is nothing to worry about; it's just a temporary period of weakness.

Soon, the entire Kingdom of Vientiane will be operating efficiently.

"I've come to say goodbye to you today."

Xu Ming said to Bai Libing.

When Xu Ming finished speaking, Bai Libing was stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes repeatedly.

"Are you leaving?"

Bai Libing's eyes were filled with reluctance.

He naturally didn't want Xu Ming to leave.

It was because of Xu Ming that I had ended up in this situation.

Moreover, as long as Xu Ming was here, Bai Libing felt that nothing was a big deal.

As long as Xu Ming is here, Bai Libing feels a strange sense of security. She doesn't know why, but as long as Xu Ming is there, Bai Libing feels that she can handle anything without any worries.

This is not simply because Xu Ming's strength is comparable to that of an immortal.

Most importantly, Xu Ming would support him unconditionally.

Moreover, Bai Libing was very clear about this in her heart.

Despite their different races, Xu Ming would never betray him.

Even if she herself is a demon, while Xu Ming is a human.

"That's right, I'm leaving."

Xu Ming nodded.

"Actually, I should have left a long time ago, but I saw that you were quite busy lately, and I was worried that things weren't very stable here."

So I stayed for the time being, and now I feel it's time.

What you've done is actually quite good, and the court is basically stable now, so there's no need for me to stay here any longer.

Hearing Xu Ming's words, Bai Libing silently lowered her head.

"Then will you come back?"

Bai Libing looked up at Xu Ming and said.

Looking into Bai Libing's eyes, Xu Ming felt a pang of guilt for some reason.

In fact, Xu Ming felt that he hadn't done anything.

Moreover, not only did he do nothing, he even helped Bai Libing secure her throne.

But for some reason, Xu Ming felt a sense of guilt at that moment.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back."

Xu Ming nodded.

"I'll come back to see you once I've finished taking care of everything."

But you have to be careful before that happens, so that nothing goes wrong.

When I came back, I didn't come to see you; I came to offer incense to you.

"Pah, pah, pah! You can't even say a kind word!"

Bai Libing glared at Xu Ming.

Finally, Bai Libing sighed.

She knew she couldn't keep Xu Ming.

Xu Ming staying with me for such a long time is already more than enough.

Now that he wants to leave, I have even less reason to stop him.

Bai Libing took out a bead from her storage bag and gave it to Xu Ming. This bead was entirely red, filled with crimson light.

Moreover, when Bai Libing touched this bead...

It looks like there's blood constantly rolling inside this bead, and there are even flames burning inside.

"This is for you."

Bai Libing held up the bead and handed it to Xu Ming.

"What is this thing?"

Xu Ming asked curiously.

"This thing is called the Fire Pearl, which contains a mixture of all the strange fires in the world."

In other words, you can extract any kind of strange fire in the world from the strange fire inside.

I see that you cultivate fire-attribute spiritual power, so this bead might be able to help you.

After all, when a person is about to enter the realm of immortals, he must have something that matches it to accept it.

This allows them to maximize their abilities.

And this thing seems perfect for you.

There is this one bead.

"I should be able to help you when you're trying to break through to the Jade Purity Realm."

Listening to Bai Libing's words.

Xu Ming reached out and took the fire bead.

The moment Xu Ming caught the fireball.

Xu Ming felt his palms burning hot.

Xu Ming wanted to release the pillar of fire.

But as Xu Ming clenched his fist again, he gradually accepted the heat of the flames.

It feels like I've gotten used to it.

This doesn't mean Xu Ming has gotten used to it, or that the flames here have become milder.

However, one of the flames here is a strange flame that targets the soul.

Xu Ming felt uncomfortable when he first came into contact with it.

However, once Xu Ming had completely accepted the other party, this initial burst of passion had no effect on him.

"This thing is a really good one."

At the same time, the voice of the immortal swordswoman, Hongxiu, echoed in Xu Ming's mind.

"What do you think, Senior Hongxiu?"

When he encountered something he didn't understand, Xu Ming simply asked.

Xu Ming doesn't consider himself knowledgeable.

This sword spirit is the most knowledgeable and experienced.

After all, no matter what, the Legend of Sword and Fairy: Red Sleeve has lived from ancient times to the present, and in a true sense, it has crossed more bridges than it has walked roads.

"As I just said, this is a good thing, and a very good thing."

The various strange flames contained within are indeed very suitable for your cultivation.

When you broke through to the Immortal Realm, what I was actually thinking about was whether or not to use a different kind of fire to help you break through.

After all, you can only truly demonstrate your strength when you bring fire-attribute spiritual power to its fullest potential.

However, collecting different flames is not so much difficult as it is extremely troublesome, and it takes at least a hundred years.

But the world doesn't give us much time left.

This girl just happened to give you this precious pearl, which will save you a lot of trouble.

Moreover, even after you have cultivated, you can customize this precious pearl into your own magical artifact.

When it's time to kill you, I won't just be able to rely on the longsword in my hand; this precious pearl will also serve as a celestial weapon.

It will definitely achieve unexpected results.

After Hongxiu finished speaking, Xu Ming's eyes were fixed on the pillar.

Xu Ming originally wanted to be polite.

After all, this is a divine treasure, and it would be too embarrassing to accept it myself.

But since Hongxiu has already said that, it's not time for me to be pretentious.

Moreover, being stronger is even more capable of sheltering them from the wind and rain.

After all, a great calamity is coming soon.

"I understand, thank you."

Xu Ming accepted the precious pearl.

Upon seeing Xu Ming accept the gift, a hint of joy appeared in Bai Libing's eyes.

To be honest, he was really worried that Xu Ming wouldn't accept it.

Bai Libing couldn't think of anything to give Xu Ming.

Because Xu Ming has done so much for him.

Now that Xu Ming has accepted his treasure, it's not that the two are even, but in a way, he has also repaid Xu Ming.

After accepting the Blood-Red Pearl, Xu Ming bowed to Bai Libing:
"I'll be leaving now. I have a feeling that the world in the near future might not be peaceful."

The great era will come soon.

You need to take good care of yourself.

After Vientiane stabilizes, it will need a long period of recuperation.

It's best to avoid any strenuous activity during this recovery period.

We'll discuss other matters once your Vientiane Kingdom is fully consolidated.

Furthermore, there's absolutely no need to get involved in the conflicts between some countries.

They also lack the capacity to participate.

Don't let yourself get hurt for a little bit of profit.

It's not worth it.

Xu Ming, you spoke to Bai Libing, one sentence at a time.

It was as if she were giving instructions to her daughter.

Hearing the rest, Bai Libing pouted, looking a little annoyed: "You're so long-winded, are you giving your last instructions?"

Hearing Bai Libing's words, Xu Ming was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Xu Ming simply stopped talking and reached out to gently tap her head:
"I'm not giving my final instructions; I'm telling you to be careful in everything you do, and to be clear that people's hearts can change."

These ministers are loyal to you now, but that may not be the case in the future.

No one knows what a person will become once they reach a high enough position and have enough power.

The best thing you can do is to keep a certain distance from any of the ministers.

Remember, never trust anyone else; the only person you should trust is yourself.

Although I am not interested in the art of rulership at all, and even somewhat averse to it.

However, its existence implies its rationality, and the art of imperial strategy does indeed have its own significance and value.

So you also need to understand the balance of power in this situation, understand?

Bai Libing touched her head and gave Xu Ming a somewhat resentful look:
"You said I can't trust anyone, that anyone could deceive me, but what about you? Would you deceive me?"

The moment Bai Libing finished speaking

She raised her eyes and looked directly into Xu Ming's eyes.

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, and his mind wavered slightly.

"I won't lie to you." These were the last words Xu Ming uttered.

Just as Xu Ming finished speaking, Bai Libing smiled brightly.

"In that case, everything will be fine. Anyone in this world can lie to me, but you can't. Because I won't trust anyone else in this world except you. I will believe anything you say."

"Fool." Looking at the girl in front of him, Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh.

However, Bai Libing raised her head defiantly, looking extremely smug.

"I'm not stupid, I'm very smart."
