Within Fang Tianming's sea of consciousness, a diagram of the human meridian appeared, and under the guidance of an unknown force, he began to breathe in and out.

At the beginning, he was passively breathing and circulating his Qi, but after circulating his Qi within his body for several cycles, he was completely familiar with the method of how Qi flows, and was now able to operate it by himself.

He did not know how much time had passed, but after circulating his Qi within his body for seven cycles according to the method he learned, he finally stopped.

At this moment, he could internally view his dantian and sea of consciousness. Confronted with his own dramatic changes, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"The method you just practiced is the 'Profound Method of True Vitality' of the Master of Tongtian from the Supreme Purity Stage. Everything you've gained originated from him," said a voice.

Fang Tianming couldn't help but be ecstatic. As a Chinese youth who had read a variety of novels, he knew the Master of Tongtian's reputation. In the 'The Investiture of the Gods,' he was the leader of the interception, opposing four Saint-like leaders with his singular power.

Fang Tianming never expected that he would be lucky enough to inherit the teachings of the Master of Tongtian.

But, upon second thought, something felt wrong. He hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, it seems like you're not a disciple of the interception, how come you have the inheritance of the Master of Tongtian?"

It was the first time that Taibai Jinxing was being called Brother Li. He could not help but laugh, "To tell you the truth, the previous Master of Tongtian instructed me to seek out an inheritor in the mundane world, so he gave me his heritage. You have a body of chaos which is rare to find in ten thousand years, so I chose you. Here's a top-level ordinary-grade elixir, you should eat it quickly, then operate your Qi to refine the medicinal strength."

Taking the elixir, Fang Tianming took it without hesitation.

The elixir melted as soon as it entered his throat, its medicinal power, like a surging tide, rushed into Fang Tianming's dantian.

"Did I eat too much? Will I burst?" Fang Tianming was startled and quickly operated the 'Profound Method of True Vitality' to refine the medicinal power.

Stream after stream of medicinal power was pulled out from the dantian, circulated throughout the meridians, and finally returned to the dantian...

As the time passed, the power generated by the elixir was completely refined into true Qi by Fang Tianming.

His consciousness was exceptionally clear at this moment and the true Qi in his dantian had increased significantly.

"Why does it stink so badly?" Fang Tianming suddenly smelled a sour, rotting stench.

Reaching with his hand, Fang Tianming realized his body was covered in a sticky black liquid, which was the source of the foul odor!

"What is this!" Fang Tianming exclaimed.

Li Changgeng explained, "Your cultivation has reached the Foundation Building stage, this filthy liquid is the impurities expelled from your body."

Having read about this phenomenon in numerous web novels, Fang Tianming immediately understood what Li Changgeng was referring to upon his explanation.

Suddenly, Fang Tianming exclaimed again, "Wait, I can't wear my clothes now!"

"Um..." Li Changgeng was momentarily at a loss for words. Then, he conjured a column of water to wash away the filth on Fang Tianming's body, before flicking his wrist to produce a fresh set of clothes for Fang Tianming to put on.

Next, he withdrew a ring and gave it to Fang Tianming.

"This is a space storage ring. Your cave dwelling has integrated with you, and once your cultivation reaches the Golden Core stage, you can unlock the dwelling."

Upon seeing the legendary space storage ring, Fang Tianming’s fingers twitched with excitement. He hurriedly put on the ring on his left index finger.

The moment the ring was put on, it disappeared from sight. Li Changgeng, smiling, said, "This ring has a cloaking ability and others cannot see it. Why don’t you check the items inside?”

Fang Tianming channeled the spiritual consciousness he had just cultivated into the ring. The space inside extended 5 meters in length, 5 meters in width, and 4 meters in height, a total volume of one hundred cubic meters.

A pair of broken steel whips lay quietly within the ring.

Fang Tianming asked, "What are these items?"

In response, Li Changgeng gave a slight smile and began to narrate the origins of the items within the ring’s space.

The broken steel whip is from "The Investiture of the Gods," belonging to Prime Minister Wen. During Wen's campaign against West Qi, he once brandished this pair of golden whips against Jiang Ziya's Strike God Whip. As a result, this pair of magical weapons was split apart by the Strike God Whip. Unexpectedly, this artifact turned up here.

With a solemn expression, Li Changgeng said, "Though this steel whip is now broken, there is a possibility of restoration if reforged. I'll leave it to you, it might play a significant role in the future."

Li Changgeng then bestowed upon Fang Tianming a plethora of cultivation knowledge.

According to Li Changgeng's description, the stages of cultivation from low to high are: Qi Training Period, Foundation Building Period, Golden Core Period, Nascent Soul Period, Spirit Severing Period, Mahayana Period, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Saint.

The quality of a cultivator's magical artifacts are ranked from high to low as follows: Saint-class artifacts, God-class artifacts, Immortal-class artifacts, Spirit-class artifacts. Each class of artifact is further divided into superior, medium, and inferior quality.

In "The Investiture of the Gods," artifacts like the Fairy Killing Sword, Tai Ji Diagram, and Mountains and Rivers Community Diagram are considered Saint-class artifacts.

The Chaos Golden Bucket, Golden Jiao Scissors, and such are considered God-class artifacts.

The Sky Flipping Seal of Guang Chengzi and the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover of Taiyi Zhenren are considered superior Immortal-class artifacts. Jiang Ziya's Strike God Whip is only considered inferior Immortal-class artifact.

As for Prime Minister Wen's pair of male and female whips, they barely qualify as superior Spirit-class artifacts.

Of course, some cultivators don't use magical artifacts for combat, like Erlang Shen, Yang Jian. His Three-Point Two-Edged Blade is a weapon, not a magical artifact.

Weapons don't have a saint level, from high to low, they are divided into divine weapons, immortal weapons, and spirit weapons. Despite the weapons' high ranks, they are not as formidable as magical artifacts.

Both elixirs and spirit fruits are also classified as Saint-class, God-class, Immortal-class, and Spirit-class.

While Fang Tianming was thinking about the information, Li Changgeng disappeared, and the scene in front of Fang Tianming's eyes returned to reality.

Looking at the space ring that only he could see on his finger, Fang Tianming knew that everything was not a dream.

Lifting his head and looking around, there was not a single person on the street and a large vegetable patch on the roadside. It was only then Fang Tianming realized that he had been driven to the outskirts of the city by Li Changgeng.

He was suddenly shaken and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, this guy Li Changgeng, just abandoned me here? This is disgraceful, where am I?"

Just as Fang Tianming was at a loss, his phone rang.

After answering the call, the voice of his sister, Fang Yueling, came from the other side of the phone, "I couldn't get through to your phone just now, and it scared me to death! Please hurry up and get someone to go to the Tiandu Entertainment City in Nancheng and save me!"

"Sis, what happened?"

"Our boss took me to dine with a client name Huang Yun, but I noticed that this Huang guy has malicious intentions!"

Hearing this, Fang Tianming immediately became anxious. His sister being at Tiandu Entertainment City was like a lamb entering a tiger's den! Even though he had not heard of Tiandu Entertainment City, he instinctively associated it with a den of iniquity.

"Not good, my sister is in danger, I must go save her immediately!”
