At the same time, Yuan Ming, after escaping, first returned to his hiding place, and then rushed to Toad Valley.
He stopped at the door of the first stone house in the valley. Inside was still the registered disciple lying on a chair reading a book.
"Zhao Tong, it's time to do business." Yuan Ming shouted.
The man on the recliner heard the sound and slowly moved the book away, revealing a fair and clean round face with a little baby fat, slightly thick eyebrows, and round and bright eyes. He was not handsome, but he could only be said to be decent.
.
Seeing that the person coming was Yuan Ming, a slight smile appeared on his face.
Yuan Ming has interacted with him several times, and although he is not very close to him now, he is still somewhat familiar with him.
There are many registered disciples doing business in Toad Valley, but they all look proud with their nostrils turned upward. Zhao Tong is a bit more normal among them, but when doing business with the furry beast slaves, he never hesitates to lower prices.
Probably because he was also from the Central Plains, he was quite kind to Yuan Ming, so when Yuan Ming usually gained something, he would come to him first to exchange.
"Haha, these pig teeth are pretty good. They seem to have restrained spiritual power. They have reached the threshold for refining low-level magic weapons. How about it? What do you want to change this time?" Zhao Tong said.
"Ground Thorn Technique." Yuan Ming replied without hesitation.
"You are really persistent... But rules are rules. The price I told you before cannot be changed. Have you saved enough?" Zhao Tong asked.
"They're all here." Yuan Ming nodded.
As he spoke, he began to untie the pair of wild boar teeth from his body, took out two pouches from his waist, and took out two dark red stones and a lavender shriveled herb from his arms.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tong stood up and began to examine the things Yuan Ming placed on the table one by one.
After looking at it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, it's all together. To be honest, I originally thought it would take you at least six months to find all these things, but it only took less than three months."
"
"I'm anxious to get the ground acupuncture technique, and I can't wait six months." Yuan Ming said.
The constant struggle during this period of time made him fully realize the shortcomings of his own strength.
It might be better when facing ferocious beasts, but when he conflicts with other furry beast slaves, Yuan Ming always feels that his means are too few and too dangerous.
Especially this time, if he offends someone from the Green Wolf Gang head-on, his situation will only become more dangerous.
He had accidentally learned from Zhao Tong before that monks in the Qi Refining Stage can also learn some spells, and the Earth Stab Technique is a low-level offensive spell that monks in the Qi Refining Stage can learn relatively easily, with great power and mana.
related.
Of course, only those who actually join Biluo Cave and become a registered disciple can have a chance to understand these spells. However, for the sake of profit, naturally some registered disciples will secretly copy them and exchange them with furry beast slaves, but the price is often not low.
"Okay, this is the copy of the technique of "Earth Thorn Technique". You have an hour to write it down." Zhao Tong took out a thin white book from his arms and threw it to Yuan Ming.
"I can't take him away?" Yuan Ming asked with a frown.
"What are you thinking about? If you take away the copy of the exercise, learn it and then sell it to others, how will I do this business in the future?" Zhao Tong curled his lips and said.
"That makes sense." Yuan Ming nodded.
After saying that, he opened the pages of the book and began to read carefully.
In his ears, Zhao Tong's voice came: "If you have any questions within this hour, you can ask me at any time."
There was a "swish" sound of turning the book, but Yuan Ming had no reaction to his words, as if he didn't hear them at all, which made Zhao Tong immediately feel unhappy.
But before he could sit back on the recliner, Yuan Ming had already closed the book, stood there with his eyes closed, and started reciting words silently.
After a moment, he opened his eyes again, looked at Zhao Tong and asked: "The technique says that when performing this technique, you need to transfer your magic power into the ground to connect with the earth's vitality. Do you have to touch the ground with your hands?"
Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied:
"Oh...that's it. There are three stages in performing the ground stabbing technique. At the beginning, the skill is not proficient enough. In order to shorten the release time, it is best to touch the ground with your hands, which is the most efficient. Wait until the technique is completed.
When you step on the ground, you don’t need to use your hands, and you can still communicate with the ground when you step on it.”
"Then if it reaches great success, even if a person is in mid-air, he can release mana through seals and perform the Earth Thorn Technique?" Yuan Ming pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Yes. But this requires both sufficient mana and proficient mastery of magic." Zhao Tong nodded.
"I understand, thank you very much." Yuan Ming said, cupping his fists.
"If you have any more questions, you can ask a few more." Zhao Tong said with a proud smile.
"No more." Yuan Ming said calmly, and then handed back the "Earth Thorn Technique".
Zhao Tong was a little confused by Yuan Ming's move and asked doubtfully: "Why, you don't want to read it?"
"I've written it all down. There's nothing puzzling about at the moment. If you have any doubts, you can only find them out after you practice." Yuan Ming nodded and said.
"Although the technique of "Earth Thorn Technique" only has three thousand words, you have memorized it all in less than a cup of tea?" Zhao Tong said in disbelief.
"Remember." Yuan Ming affirmed.
"Earth Thorn Technique" can only be regarded as a secret technique, which is much simpler than "Nine Yuan Jue".
"Could it be that you have a photographic memory?" Zhao Tong asked doubtfully.
"My natural memory is pretty good." Yuan Ming cupped his hands, said goodbye and left.
Zhao Tong looked at his retreating back and became more interested in him. Photographic memory is not a great skill for cultivators like them, but people who don't know it just don't know it. This can be regarded as a god-given magical power.
Bar.
"Brother Yuan."
As soon as Yuan Ming walked out of the valley entrance, he was stopped by someone.
A man jumped down from a big rock not far from him and walked over.
"Wulu, what do you want from me?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the person coming clearly.
The two of them didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays, and Yuan Ming couldn't figure out why he would find him at this time.
"Did you kill someone from the Green Wolf Gang?" Wulu said straight to the point.
"There was a conflict and one person was injured. How come... that guy is dead?" Yuan Ming frowned and asked in confusion when he heard this.
"Dead. As soon as they said people from the Central Plains, I guessed it was you." Ulu grinned, not caring about the man's death.
"Them?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"I joined the Green Wolf Gang." Ulu admitted frankly.
"So, you're here to catch me?" Yuan Ming asked with slightly focused eyes.
"I'm here to persuade you." Ulu shook his head.
"Persuade me?"
"What I told them is that I'm here to persuade you to surrender and join the Green Wolf Gang. But I know your character and will definitely not agree. So I'm just here to remind you in advance to be more careful." Wulu said with a smile.
.
Yuan Ming was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"What, are you surprised? This can be regarded as repaying your previous kindness." Ulu asked first, and then answered to himself.
"Then I will accept your love." Yuan Ming also showed a smile and said.
"After I go back this time, they should issue a hunting order for you and offer a reward. According to their style of behavior, as long as someone reports your whereabouts, that person will not be harassed by the Green Wolf Gang, or even
Get their protection, so your next situation will not be too good." Ulu continued.
"Guessed it." Yuan Ming nodded, not surprised.
"If I'm not wrong, the person chasing you should be Bayin, a bald man with a fierce face. This guy has just broken through the third level of Qi refining. Among the furry beast slaves in the entire Shiwanda Mountain, he is also the best.
He is considered a master, so don’t take it lightly when you encounter him." Wulu said.
"Understood, thank you." Yuan Ming nodded, cupping his fists.
When Wulu saw this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said seriously: "Brother Yuan, I will help you here. If we meet again next time, we may be enemies, although I don't want to be your enemy."
Yuan Ming hesitated after hearing this, but nodded.
Then Ulu took the lead to leave, and he also left Toad Valley and returned to his hiding place.
After Yuan Ming returned to the cave, he immediately began to practice the ground stabbing technique.
…
Half a month later, in a forest with sparse trees.
Yuan Ming squatted half-crouched, with one hand on the ground, and the fingers of the other hand joined together to make a secret, and a wisp of mana flowed into the ground from the palm of his hand.
I saw a bright light flashing in his eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "Get up."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dim yellow light suddenly lit up on the ground about five feet away from him, and a sharp khaki stalagmite pierced the ground like a sharp knife.
The stalagmite was as thick as a child's arm and no longer than a foot long, but its tip had a metallic luster, apparently very strong and sharp.
When Yuan Ming saw this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
After this period of practice, the distance that his Ground Thorn Technique can be extended has extended several times from just a few feet at the beginning, and its sharpness and solidity have also made great progress, which makes him quite satisfied.
"This Earth Thorn Technique is not difficult to practice, but it consumes a lot of mana. If you use it continuously, your mana may not be able to keep up. You still need to improve your cultivation." Yuan Ming said to himself.
At this moment, his ear suddenly moved, and he suddenly turned his head to look in one direction and shouted: "Who is there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud rustling sound all around, and five figures emerged, actually surrounding him in the center.
"Good boy, it's so hard to find." One of those people stood up and scolded.
With his bald head and broad face, and a fierce look on his face, Yuan Ming immediately realized that this person was the Bayin mentioned by Ulu.
He frowned, immediately put on the ape skin, used the hair-clothing technique, and transformed into a white ape.
"I advise you not to start a war rashly, I don't want to kill anyone," Yuan Ming said.
Hearing this, Bayin was not afraid to laugh back and said: "You just killed that good-for-nothing Zaha, do you really think you are a person? If I don't twist your head back today, I won't be worthy of being the deputy of the Green Wolf Gang."
Gang leader."
After that, he also put on the animal skin and performed the fur-clothing technique.
I saw that its figure swelled slightly, long and dense hair began to grow on its body, its forehead became wider, its eyes became smaller and rounder, its nose became flat and blunt, and its hands and feet all grew sharp and pointed hair.
And hard claws.
But the most eye-catching thing is his white hair that stretches two feet wide from the top of his head to his back. It looks like he is wearing a long silver-white cloak.
