Southern Region.

In the D-Class Servant Quarters on the Green Cloud Peak, one of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

At night, in the quiet forest, the rays of moonlight seeped through the gaps in the leaves and fell on the ground, forming spots of light of various sizes and shapes.

“This… this…”

Qi Ming lowered his head. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he did not dare to show any abnormalities. He could only lower his head as much as possible and not be discovered by the others.

In front of Qi Ming and the others stood a man in a blood robe. He wore a white bone mask and had long, striking blood-colored hair. His eyes were red like a ghost’s.

This person was Daoist White Bones from the Demon Sect, Myriad Demon Cave. He had the strength of the seventh-stage Qi Refinement realm. Qi Ming and the others were his subordinates.

“Put away the Blood Ghost Pill.”

Daoist White Bones clasped his hands behind his back and said in a very cold tone, “Originally, with the aptitude of trash like you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to break through to the third level of Qi Refinement in your lifetime.”

“However…”

“Since you’ve become my subordinates, come here every seven days for the next month to consume a Blood Ghost Pill.”

“This medicinal pill can stimulate your life potential and allow your cultivation to rise rapidly in a short period of time. It’s enough to let you step into the third level of Qi Refinement in a month without being discovered by the outer sect elders of the Green Cloud Peak.”

“You can become outer sect disciples of the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect’s Green Cloud Peak and truly join the sect to become a part of it. By then, it will be time for you to repay me.”

“So, I… I’ve become a spy of the Demon Sect?” Qi Ming was shocked and afraid.

He did not dare to say anything now and could only listen carefully. He obediently took the Blood Ghost Pill in his hand and bit the bullet and ate it under the scrutinizing gaze of Daoist White Bones.

Daoist White Bones shouted, “Quickly cultivate and unleash the medicinal effects to the limit.”

In the surroundings, the other eight immediately sat cross-legged and circulated their cultivation methods. Blood qi rose around their bodies, and dense blood qi surged as they absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and transformed it into their own spirit energy.

There was no choice.

Qi Ming could only sit cross-legged like them. However, his mind was in a mess. Moreover, after the Blood Ghost Pill’s medicinal essence melted in his abdomen, it caused Qi Ming’s temperature to rise and his entire body to turn red.

Fortunately, after Qi Ming transmigrated, he still had the memories of the ‘original owner’ in his mind. He found the ‘Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art’, but he did not know how to cultivate at all. He could only act according to the memories of the ‘original owner’.

In the end, the effects of the Blood Ghost Pill were mostly wasted by Qi Ming.

An hour later, the cultivation session ended.

The other eight people’s cultivation levels had clearly increased. Only Qi Ming remained the same. There was no change at all, making Daoist White Bones extremely disgusted.

“What a useless person. You consumed a Blood Ghost Pill to stimulate your life potential and used up ten years of your lifespan. There’s actually no change at all.”

Daoist White Bones said, “If there’s not much change after consuming the Blood Ghost Pill next time, I’ll refine your soul into a lamp and create a blood corpse to make up for the loss of the Blood Ghost Pill.”

Qi Ming was shocked and felt his scalp go numb, he quickly answered, “Lord Envoy, don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you next time.”

‘Ten years of lifespan, that’s ten years of lifespan, I have an entire ten years less to live!’?Qi Ming cried in his heart.

In the surroundings, the other eight wore different masks, and Qi Ming himself was the same. He wore a black ghost mask and could not reveal his true appearance.

“Get lost.” Daoist White Bones said.

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“…”

Qi Ming and the others bowed.

When he looked up again, Daoist White Bones, who was in front of them, had long disappeared. Not even a trace of his aura was left. Qi Ming and the others looked at each other with vigilance in their eyes before quickly scattering.

“What is going on!” Qi Ming looked at the sky speechlessly.

“I just developed the ‘AFK Farming Software’ last night and it was about to enter the market. In the end, I woke up and actually transmigrated?”

“All my years of hard work have been wasted. I’m now a servant disciple and a spy of the Demon Sect. This kind of background is really too difficult.”

Next, Qi Ming tidied up all the memories in his mind and figured out the original owner’s 18 years of life.

The original owner of the body was born in a village called the ‘Qi Village’. When he was 16 years old, the village encountered a group of bandits, causing his family to be destroyed. He accidentally joined the Green Cloud Peak and became a servant disciple.

However, it had been about three years since he entered the sect. At almost 19 years old, he was still at the late-stage of the first level Qi Refinement realm.

He was not even at the second level Qi Refinement realm but the Outer Sect Assessment was in a month’s time.

Three years after a servant disciple entered the sect, if they could not reach the third level of Qi Refinement, they would be expelled.

If they passed the assessment, they could become an outer sect disciple.

This was the rule of Green Cloud Peak.

It was also the rule of the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect.

With the cultivation and potential of the ‘original owner’, it was impossible for him to pass the Outer Sect Assessment. At that time, he would be expelled from the ‘Green Cloud Peak’ and would no longer have any chance to cultivate.

The original owner of the body was naturally unwilling to give up.

So, a few days ago, he received an invitation from Daoist White Bones and became a spy of the Demon Sect. Daoist White Bones promised to help increase his cultivation as soon as possible. However, after the original owner joined the outer sect of the Green Cloud Peak, he had to work for Daoist White Bones.

Now it seemed that he had gotten into a huge trap and could not jump out even if he wanted to.

“What should I do now?” Qi Ming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, “According to the current situation, the ‘original owner’ is gone for no reason. I’ve taken over his place.”

“In this situation, I can’t think of anything.”

“First. I don’t even know how to cultivate. That ‘Blood Ghost Pill’ will burn ten years of my lifespan each time. If I eat it four times a month, it will cost me forty years of my lifespan!”

“This is simply murder.”

“I definitely can’t eat the Blood Ghost Pill anymore.”

Ding!

“Downloading the AFK Farming Software…”

“Downloading is complete.”

“Welcome to the AFK Farming Software. Using one button to farm automatically, you can enjoy passive cultivation and clearing of dungeons. It is extremely safe. Have a good time.”

...

Host: Qi Ming.

Level: First Level of the Qi Refinement realm.

Cultivation Method: Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art.

Spell: Green Cloud Sword Technique (Beginner)

Treasure: None.

Item: None.

One Button Farming: Can be activated.

...

The system panel was very simple.

Qi Ming was excited. This feeling was like a strong light shining in the darkness or seeing an oasis in the desert. It made him perk up.

He was filled with motivation and hope.

“I’ll go back to the servant quarters first.”

Qi Ming quickly left the forest and returned to his residence in the D-Class Servant Quarters. Ten servant disciples lived in the same room and slept on double decker bunk beds.

Qi Ming was on the lower bunk near the door.

At first glance, Qi Ming felt as if he had arrived at the student dormitory.

Of course, the servant disciple’s room was very simple. It was a simple wooden room. In addition to the public toilet, there was nothing else.

“Activate the AFK Farming Software.”

Qi Ming took advantage of the time when the other nine servant disciples were sleeping. He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but he could still see the system panel of the ‘AFK Farming Software’.

Ding!

“Success.”

“Please choose a cultivation technique or spell that you want to undergo AFK Farming.”

“First: Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art.”

“Second: Green Cloud Sword Technique.”

“Currently, you can only activate one AFK Farming slot and let a cultivation technique or Dharma spell train. If you want to activate more AFK Farming slots, please charge more spirit stones.”

Qi Ming thought,?‘Raising my cultivation level is the most important thing now. I’ll choose the Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art.’

Ding!

“The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art is in the midst of cultivating…” (Friendly reminder: Charging Spirit Stones can increase the cultivation speed of the AFK Farming.)

“Spirit stones…” Qi Ming pondered for a moment, “In the original owner’s memories, he had been frugal for nearly three years. He only saved nine low-grade spirit stones, but eight were taken away by Daoist White Bones. There’s only one left.”

“It’s hidden in…”

Qi Ming turned around and used his right hand to dig at the corner of the bed for a while before pulling out the low-grade spirit stone hidden in the crack.

The low-grade spirit stone was like a white jade stone that was the size of a thumb. It was diamond-shaped and emitted a faint glow.

Ding!

“Detected that the host has a low-grade spirit stone. It can be used to open a game dungeon. You can use a low-grade spirit stone as a ticket to enter a game dungeon.”

“Activate.” Qi Ming said.

Ding!

“Activation successful. Entering the dungeon of the first level of Qi Refinement: Skeleton Mountain Bandits.”

Thus…

Flashing images appeared in Qi Ming’s mind like a movie. It felt more like the cutscene of a game. It was playing very quickly.

In the scene, the night was dark and the wind was strong.

There was a group of bandits on Skeleton Mountain. There were more than a hundred of them, and they occupied this place. They burned, killed, and plundered. They committed all sorts of crimes and harmed the citizens of the vicinity.

That night, a ‘Sword Immortal Hero’ descended from the sky. At first, he was unarmed, but he was quick-witted and snatched the iron sword from the bandits. He fought against them until blood splattered all over the mountain top. The corpses of the bandits covered the ground.

Unknowingly, Qi Ming fell asleep.

The next morning, he woke up.

Ding!

“You spent the night farming in the ‘Skeleton Mountain Bandits’ game dungeon and cleared it once. You received: one Detoxification Pill, one Skeleton Sword, and ten low-grade spirit stones.”

“Good news came so early in the morning.”

Qi Ming was overjoyed when he saw this.
