The AFK Farming Software: I Became Invincible Without Knowing It

“This…”

Qi Ming lowered his head. He had already guessed what Mu Qing was thinking.

He probably wanted Qi Ming to get a good ranking in the Outer Sect Assessment and make a name for the Green Cloud Peak’s servant quarters.

Mu Qing could probably also obtain benefits from this.

However, what Mu Qing wanted him to do obviously didn’t conform to Qi Ming’s low profile and secret development plan. Therefore, Qi Ming tactfully rejected, “First Elder Mu, I’ve been a servant disciple for three years. I’ve kept a low profile and never exposed my cultivation level. It’s to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

“I’ve always liked silence. I like to cultivate in peace and comprehend Dao techniques in peace. I don’t like to participate in these matters.”

“Qi Ming, don’t talk nonsense.” Mu Qing waved his hand.

Although there was a smile on his lips, he still said, “In front of outsiders, you can’t call me ‘First Elder Mu’. I’m only the First Elder of the servant quarters. Therefore, you have to say Servant Quarters’ First Elder.”

“Yes.”

Qi Ming pouted in his mind, but he still looked very respectful on the surface. It was not allowed in front of ‘outsiders‘, so it was fine when there was no one around.

“Qi Ming!” Mu Qing stroked his long white beard. He was indeed very sage-like. “Do you know that on the path of cultivation, one must fight against the heavens, the earth, people, and all things?”

“If you don’t fight, how can you obtain anything?”

“Your personality is indeed very good. It means that you are calm enough and can avoid many troubles and dangers. But if you don’t show your talent and promote yourself, how can you fight for enough resources in the Green Cloud Peak and the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to help you cultivate?”

“On the path of cultivation, there are four great necessities, wealth, companions, techniques, and territory. Wealth is ranked first, so it shows the importance of resources.”

“You have to think about it.”

Mu Qing patted Qi Ming’s shoulder like a kind elder and said earnestly.

Qi Ming was completely unmoved. He thought to himself, ‘I have the AFK Farming Software. As long as I cultivate passively every day, I can clear the dungeons. I can easily obtain wealth, companions, and territory.’

Training?

Competition?

Adventure?

Sorry.

These were too troublesome and dangerous. To him, it was not tempting at all. If he had the time, he might as well clear a few more game dungeons and obtain everything.

Believe it or not, he could stay in the sect’s servant quarters for his entire life until he became immortal.

“Cough cough.”

Mu Qing seemed to have seen through Qi Ming’s thoughts of not wanting to be in the limelight. Although he found it a little strange that the youngster lacked guts and was so mature, there was no helping it.

All these years, Green Cloud Peak had always been at the bottom of the rankings during the Outer Sect Assessment. The resources obtained from the sect were getting lesser and lesser. If this continued, as the Servant Quarters’ First Elder, he would not be able to get any benefits.

So, Mu Qing had to do well this time. His disciples had to stand out in this assessment. Only then could he wash away his past shame and obtain more resources from the sect.

“Qi Ming…” Mu Qing said indifferently, “Your matter can actually be big or small. To put it bluntly, you’ve already attempted to betray the sect and even consumed the ‘Blood Ghost Pill’. This confirms your identity as a traitor.”

“Of course, this is a small matter. You realized your mistakes and got rid of the Heart Devouring Gu on your own. You even reported to the sect about the Demon Sect’s spies. This can be considered a meritorious deed.”

“As for whether your merit surpasses your crime, and whether we should follow the sect rules…”

“First Elder Mu.” Qi Ming immediately interrupted what Mu Qing was about to say. If Mu Qing continued to speak, she would probably be blamed for betraying the sect. Qi Ming could not bear the responsibility.

Mu Qing’s words implied something else.

To put it bluntly, it was up to him to decide whether the matter was big or small.

“I suddenly realized that you’re right.”

Qi Ming raised his head and was full of fighting spirit. He clenched his fists and shouted, “Cultivators of my generation should not be afraid of hardships. We should fight against the heavens and the earth. We should go against the flow and ignore life and death. If you are not convinced, we will fight.”

“Fighting the heavens, fighting the earth, and fighting humans. It’s endless joy.”

“Hahaha…”

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment before he laughed loudly. “Good kid, I was right about you.”

“But…” Qi Ming’s tone paused, and he revealed a difficult expression as he said, “Although my cultivation is quite good, my spell techniques and methods to deal with enemies are only the Green Cloud Sword Technique. Moreover, my cultivation realm is very low.”

“Plus, I’ve been a servant for three years, causing me to be extremely poor. Up until now, I don’t even have a decent talisman treasure. I wonder if I can obtain a good ranking.”

“Then what do you want?” Mu Qing smiled.

“Sigh…” Qi Ming shook his head and said with a troubled expression, “I actually don’t need too many things. I just feel that giving me tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones will do. After I have the spirit stones, I’ll go buy the spell techniques and talisman treasures I want.”

“Tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones?”

Mu Qing almost pulled off a few strands of his beard, “Why don’t you go rob someone?!”

“I only have a thousand low-grade spirit stones.”

Mu Qing took out an inferior-grade storage bag from his bosom and threw it to Qi Ming, “That’s all.”

“It’s dozens of times less.” Qi Ming muttered.

“Get lost!”

Mu Qing picked up the teacup and was about to smash it, but when he thought about how this teacup was also expensive and was worth more than ten low-grade spirit stones, he stopped himself.

“Alright, you don’t have to send me off.”

Qi Ming lowered his head, turned around, and quickly ran out.

“Wait.”

Mu Qing raised his head and called out to Qi Ming.

“First Elder Mu? Are you really planning to give me tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones?” Qi Ming’s eyes lit up.

“Dream on.” Mu Qing shouted, “Anything is possible in your dreams.”

“This is the Nine Spirit Illusion Steps.”

Mu Qing threw a jade slip over. “It’s a top-grade Qi Refinement realm movement technique. Try your best to master it in the next few days. Just learn as much as you can.”

“Thank you, First Elder Mu.”

Qi Ming reached out to receive the jade slip that recorded the Nine Spirit Illusion Steps and thanked Mu Qing.

“Get lost.”

Mu Qing waved his hand angrily. “Rascal, if you don’t obtain a good ranking in the Outer Sect Assessment, I’ll skin you alive when I return.”

Qi Ming replied without turning his head, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be number one from the bottom.”

“F*ck!” Mu Qing cursed, “You dare?!”

Not long after Qi Ming left, a graceful figure walked out from a corner of the guest hall. Because of the curtains, it was impossible to see clearly, and one could only see a pair of snow white and long legs vaguely.

Mu Qing knelt down.

“Master.”

Mu Qing said, “Just now, I used the Spirit Searching Technique to probe Qi Ming’s situation. This person’s talent is very ordinary. Although he has reached the fifth level Qi Refinement realm, he probably only obtained some opportunities in a short period of time.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

The graceful figure said indifferently, “It’s just a casual game of chess. Whether he lives or dies is not important. It’s better if he’s useful, but it’s fine if he’s useless.”

“Yes.” Mu Qing nodded.

“Over these years, our Myriad Demon Cave’s infiltration of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect has already reached the limit. We can’t take another step forward. I have to say that although the Sect Master of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, Yang Li, doesn’t really care about the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s matters, he has forged the Heaven Enlightenment Sect well.”

The graceful figure continued, “The Heaven Enlightenment Sect is divided into twelve peaks. It seems relaxed and there are constant open and hidden struggles, and even the twelve Peak Masters have conflicts.”

“However…”

“As long as Yang Li is here, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect will not be in chaos.”

“We still have to plan properly for the ambitions of the ‘Demon Lord’.. We can’t rush it.”
