I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse Chapter 227: Return and Cultivation

Chapter 227: Return and Cultivation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

More than two months had pa.s.sed when Lu Ming returned to Southern Mountain once again.

When he just left, everything in Southern Mountain was still in its early stages. The farmland remained uncultivated, and the living s.p.a.ces in the caves were only roughly constructed.

But this time, as Lu Ming returned, he could see the patches of black rice fields from a distance.

As he walked up the mountain, he soon heard some commotion in the distance.

Before the people arrived, the voices reached him!

“Mr. Lu, you’re finally back.”

There was no urgency in his tone, just a casual greeting, not suggesting any problems in Southern Mountain.

Lu Ming smiled and nodded in the direction of the voice and saw Velo and Fala walking down from the mountain.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Velo,” Lu Ming said as soon as Velo and Fala approached.

The Southern Mountain was ultimately located within the Hundred Thousand Mountains. There were a variety of exotic beasts in the vicinity, and Physique Realm exotic beasts would often appear.

Without Velo’s vigilance, this place would not have developed to its current state.

Hearing Lu Ming’s words, Velo smiled and waved his hand, “Fala, take Mr. Lu around the area.”

With that said, he looked at Lu Ming, “1 have some matters to attend to, so 1 won’t accompany Mr. Lu back home.”

Even though it had been a long time since they had parted ways, Fala didn’t feel estranged at all.

She chatted non-stop along the way, like an Oriole that could not stop chirping.

“There’re black rice fields over there, with enough area to feed one hundred and eighty people.”

“Near the black rice fields are vegetable gardens.”

“That’s the ranch over there. Some time ago, we had an Awakener here with the superpower to control exotic beasts. Although he can’t control powerful exotic beasts, it’s perfect for raising livestock.”

“In the future, we don’t have to worry about meat anymore.”

“By the way, Brother Lu, did you have any interesting experiences in the Flame Clan Ruin?”

Lu Ming casually shared some of his experiences and observations from the Flame Clan Ruin, which excited Fala.

Not long after, the two of them entered the cave.

They followed the illuminated path inside the cave.

w.a.n.g Xiong, Cheng Cheng, Wei Lan, and the others had probably received Velo’s notification early and had been waiting there.

Seeing Lu Ming’s figure, everyone called out to Brother Lu excitedly.

Without Lu Ming, this place would not be not complete…

Lu Ming also greeted everyone with a smile and then followed Cheng Cheng’s guidance to his own home.

In the outdoor dining area, Cheng Cheng, Wei Lan, and Fala were preparing food while Lu Ming chatted with them.

Occasionally, they talked about the aftermath of the Flame Clan Ruin.

They would also talk about the various events that had happened in Southern Mountain recently.

Huo Sheng often came to visit. Although he could not meet Lu Ming, he exchanged some information and resources with w.a.n.g Xiong.

Based on Huo Sheng’s frequency of visits, he would likely return in three days. Lu Ming decided that he would talk to Huo Sheng about the Aeonians at that time.

As for other matters, there were hardly any, and there was no danger. Even if there were dangers, Velo, a Third-Level Physique Realm expert, had dealt with them in advance.

In any case, everything was going well.

The better the development of the gathering place, the more it could provide

Lu Ming with a stable and secure environment.

“By the way, these are the items 1 obtained in the Flame Clan Ruin.”

Lu Ming took out items like Body Forging Pills and placed them on the table, introducing them to Cheng Cheng and the others, allowing the three women to distribute them as they wished.

This excited the three women.

After enjoying a hot and sumptuous meal, Lu Ming brought Chengcheng and Wei Lan to the small courtyard.

Currently, both Cheng Cheng and Wei Lan were at the Ninth Level of the Mortal Realm.

The gap between them and Lu Ming was simply too vast.

No matter how the two of them used their superpowers, they could not create any pressure on Lu Ming anymore.

This left Lu Ming somewhat helpless.

‘I’m afraid there won’t be any more daily attribute point farming in the future…’

Based on Lu Ming’s current situation, the daily attribute point farming routine used to provide him with 2 points in all attributes.

However, this method had become inefficient.

Lu Ming could gain more attribute points in the same amount of time by practicing Body Forging Technique in the Void s.p.a.ce.

The reason he felt a sense of loss was simply because the daily attribute point farming routine had become ingrained in his life and blood. Not being able to continue this routine made him feel like something was missing in his life.

“Sigh… 1 guess I’ll have to adapt.”

Lu Ming muttered and looked at Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan, who also seemed somewhat distracted.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming said, “1 want to give you two another task.”

Zhang Chengcheng perked up and said, “Brother Lu, go ahead.”

“From now on, I’ll be in seclusion in my bedroom. If there’s anything urgent, please knock on the window.”

After entering the Void s.p.a.ce, Lu Ming’s perception of the outside world would be greatly weakened. In this state, he might not even notice if an enemy approached him closely.

Therefore, Lu Ming needed trustworthy people to stand guard for him, and Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan were the best choices.

Hearing that they had a new mission, Cheng Cheng and Wei Lan immediately dispelled their gloom and became determined.

“You can count on us.”

Lu Ming reminded them once more, “And don’t forget to prepare meals.”

The two girls smiled and said, “Of course, we’ll also take care of the cooking.”

After dinner and making arrangements for everything outside, Lu Ming finally returned to his home.

He lay on his bed, his gaze deep, lost in thought.

“The Void s.p.a.ce has advanced to the intermediate level, and as a result, there will be significant changes in my future cultivation.”

“The daily attribute farming routine is already gone. From today onwards, I’ll focus on farming attribute points in Body Forging Technique and Source Power Skill levels.”

“To save time, 1’11 do my cultivation in the Void s.p.a.ce, which is necessary.”

Moreover, Lu Ming’s daily routine was all about farming attributes.

Therefore, this meant that Lu Ming might need to spend more than 20 hours a day in the Void s.p.a.ce.

For most people, this would undoubtedly be dull and boring.

But for Lu Ming, it was a tremendous reward!

He no longer had to interact with others.

He no longer had to be on guard and fear encountering danger.

Lu Ming found a soft cus.h.i.+on and laid it on the ground, scattered the Flamestones around and sat cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes.

Cultivation began at this moment!

His consciousness briefly flickered, and when he opened his eyes again, Lu Ming had already appeared in the Void s.p.a.ce.

The pure white s.p.a.ce was devoid of any objects, with only Lu Ming standing in the center.

The silence brought tranquility to Lu Ming, giving him a profound sense of security!

Inhale, exhale.

After adjusting his condition to the optimal state, Lu Ming took a deep breath, raised his hand and performed the starting posture of the Flame Body Forging Technique.

First of all, Lu Ming planned to practice this newly acquired Body Forging Technique a few times.

The training method of the Flame Body Forging Technique was more c.u.mbersome and difficult than the Knight Body Forging Technique.

Additionally, it required the a.s.sistance of the Flamestone during the cultivation process.

As Lu Ming continuously changed his movements, he could clearly feel a warm flow entering his body from the outside—this was his external body absorbing the Flamestones’ fiery energy.

Soon, Lu Ming felt his body heating up.

Under the tempering of the fiery energy, the cells in his body rejoiced and gradually became stronger—although this increase was almost imperceptible.

After half an hour had pa.s.sed, Lu Ming finished his practice and exhaled a warm breath. He checked the experience points of the Flame Body Forging Technique and saw that it had increased by one point, becoming “(Beginner) (1/100).”

At the same time, his three-dimensional and free attribute points also increased by 1 point each!

“Great.”

“Moreover, the time consumed is the same as the Knight Body Forging Technique.”

Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction.

It should be noted that Lu Ming’s current 1 attribute point was equivalent to 10,000 points during his Mortal Realm!

“Next, I have to verify how much one unit of Flamestone is worth..”
