"Since the two senior brothers have given you rewards, I, the master, will not let you down. I have a talisman that I used in the past, and I will give it to you to save your life." Taoist nun surnamed Zhong saw this.
At this, he showed a satisfied look, and after thinking for a while, he took out a light yellow thing from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Ming with a smile.
"Thank you, Master. Hey, this is..." Liu Ming took the object and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
This so-called talisman is actually a simple inner armor made of yellow bamboo slips, and the entire body is woven with some unknown silver thread.
The surface of each bamboo stick is imprinted with dense five-color spiritual patterns, but the color is so dim and blurred that it cannot be discovered without careful observation.
"Junior sister, why did you take out this talisman armor? This thing saved your life several times back then." Zhu Chi couldn't help but change his face slightly as soon as he saw the inner armor clearly.
Gui Ruquan was also slightly stunned.
"This thing can only withstand Spirit Disciple-level attacks. It was only useful back then, but it is useless to me now. Besides, this thing has been seriously damaged before. Even though it has been repaired, it can only withstand attacks at most.
It was completely destroyed after two or three attacks. Besides, I usually don’t wear it at all, so I might as well give it to Congtian for self-defense.” Taoist nun surnamed Zhong said without paying much attention.
When Zhu and Chi heard these words, they felt that they made some sense, so they said nothing more.
Only then did Liu Ming understand the function of the armor. Naturally, he was overjoyed and thanked him again before putting it away.
"Master Nephew Bai, each of the three red flame beads I gave you is equivalent to a full blow of a low-level spiritual weapon, so it is not allowed to be used during the competition within the sect. However, if you can participate in the life and death trial,
When practicing, there will naturally be no such restrictions." Gui Ruquan reminded him again as he remembered something.
Liu Ming naturally understood and nodded in agreement.
At the following time, Taoist nuns surnamed Zhong and the other three encouraged Liu Ming a few more words and then asked him to go back and have a good rest in order to prepare for tomorrow's competition.
So Liu Ming bowed to the three of them, exited the hall, and flew down the mountain on a cloud.
"I really didn't expect that this kid Congtian could actually enter the top ten rankings. It seems that this time, our lineage really has great hope of turning around." Gui Ruquan said with a sigh after Liu Ming walked out of the hall.
.
"Yes, Junior Nephew Bai's performance is indeed beyond expectations. We ignored him too much before, but now Junior Sister Zhong has accepted him as his direct disciple, and we have rewarded him heavily again. Thinking about it, even though he was originally
There is some resentment secretly, but it should be gone by now. In this case, as long as he can still maintain the top ten ranking in the challenge tomorrow, and if Master Nephew Shi can also challenge successfully, our lineage will definitely achieve good results and no longer need to be at the bottom of the competition.
Yes." Zhu Chi also said with a smile.
Taoist nun surnamed Zhong heard this and smiled lightly without saying anything.
"Chuan'er, how are you preparing? Have you thought about challenging your opponent? Are you confident of entering the top ten tomorrow?" Gui Ruquan turned to Ishikawa, who was standing respectfully aside, and asked.
"Don't worry, Master. I'm going to challenge for the eighth position tomorrow. I have the Demon Subduing Chain and the Flying Skull and there will be no problem." Ishikawa replied without thinking.
"Very good, you are so confident. The three of us can feel relieved. But we don't know who will have hidden strength tomorrow. Disciples will appear. You must not be careless." Gui Ruquan nodded.
He nodded and gave another cautious warning.
Ishikawa naturally nodded in agreement.
"Senior Brother is too cautious. Senior Nephew Shi's strength is not weak in the first place. Yesterday he easily entered the top twenty rankings without using any spiritual weapons or flying heads. If he enters the top ten tomorrow, there will be no problem." Zhu Chi He said with a chuckle.
"Of course I know this. I'm just worried about what might happen. Chuan'er, you should go down and have a good rest." Gui Ruquan gave a wry smile and then ordered Ishikawa.
After Ishikawa agreed, he also exited the hall.
"It's just us now. What do you three think of tomorrow's competition? Don't just talk about superficial things, but talk about something substantial. Although you didn't show up for the competition in the first two days, with the help of the power of the magic circle, there should be more We've got a rough idea." Gui Ruquan's expression darkened slightly after Ishikawa left.
"If it's true, it's hard to say. Based on the strength of the disciples in the previous competitions, Senior Nephew Bai and Junior Nephew Ishikawa should have a good chance of entering the top ten. However, this competition is a little different from previous years. Not only did they appear The rare genius disciples such as the Earth Spirit Vein, Nightmare Body, and Spiritual Thunder Vein in previous years, as well as the old disciples such as Yang Qian, Feng Chan, and Min Shou, should also have an astonishing increase in strength." Zhu Chi's expression became solemn when he heard this. Come down.
"Not only that, according to my observation, there are also many disciples who are not in the top ten who are not weak in strength. I am afraid they are just hiding their strength so that they can make a big splash tomorrow. Fortunately, Ishikawa Junior Nephew has spiritual weapons and flying weapons. With the skull protection, there shouldn’t be much problem in entering the top ten. But if Congtian really only has the Dzogchen Wind Blade Technique as a means, I’m afraid I won’t be able to maintain my current ranking tomorrow.” Taoist nun surnamed Zhong shook her head and said.
"Well, your opinions are similar to mine. However, except for the two of them, there is indeed no one else who has the ability to enter the top ten disciples. Although Xiao Feng has also entered the Taiyin Monument ranking, I am afraid he will have to go through a few more years. This is possible only after years of hard work." Gui Ruquan sighed lightly.
"Senior brother, you are a little confused. We have done everything we can. As for the outcome, we can only let nature take its course. The rest cannot be changed by us being anxious." Zhu Chi said with a slight cough.
Taoist nun surnamed Zhong showed an expression of approval when she heard this.
"Junior brother Zhu is right, all the results will be known tomorrow. However, it is really rare for this child Congtian to be able to cultivate to the late spiritual disciple stage with the three spiritual veins. It is a pity that the third spiritual vein advanced spiritual disciple stage is not yet available. It is somewhat possible. But if you are a spiritual master with three spiritual veins, the last example that occurred was probably five or six hundred years ago." Gui Ruquan was startled for a moment, then laughed hoarsely, and then changed the topic, But Liu Ming was mentioned.
"It is indeed close to impossible for the Three Spirits to become a spiritual master. This is really a pity for Master Nephew Bai's talent in practicing magic." Zhu Chi also felt a little regretful.
"This is not certain. Since there are previous examples, no one can say that my disciple will definitely not be able to become a spiritual master. At most, it will be more difficult than others. If he can participate in the trial of life and death and come back alive, , with the amazing resources rewarded by the sect, there is no chance to compete." Taoist nun surnamed Zhong had some different opinions.
"If we use a large amount of resources to attack the spiritual masters, there is indeed a chance for Master Nephew Bai. However, he must first maintain his ranking tomorrow before this is possible." Gui Ruquan said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
"In the final analysis, everything still depends on the results of tomorrow's competition!" Zhu Chi also murmured.
After saying these words, the three of them all pondered with different expressions, and the whole hall became silent for a moment.
At the same time, Liu Ming, who returned to the training room, was admiring the newly acquired yellow inner armor in his hand.
Touching it with your hands, although the bamboo sticks that make up this talisman are slightly cold, the surface is not very hard, but gives people an unusually flexible feeling.
After he poured some mana into it, the spiritual patterns on the surface of the bamboo stick suddenly emitted a faint spiritual light, giving people a dreamy and gorgeous feeling.
Seeing this, Liu Ming couldn't help but become even more happy.
Although talisman weapons are not uncommon in major sects and cities, special talisman weapons such as talismans are extremely rare. At least he only saw a few in Weizhou City, and all of them were
Sell the spiritual weapon for a sky-high price.
Although this talisman armor was damaged and could only withstand two or three more spiritual disciple-level attacks before it was completely destroyed. But for Liu Ming, it still had a rare treasure that could save his life at critical moments.
Liu Ming briefly inspected the entire suit of armor, and after confirming that there were no other problems, he immediately put it on tightly under his underwear, and covered it with a green robe.
In this way, no abnormalities can be seen from the outside.
Then he took out the iron box porcelain bottles containing the Red Flame Pearl and the Blood Marrow Pill, opened the lids of each and looked at them.
The Red Flame Beads are three dark round beads the size of broad beans, which look inconspicuous.
The Blood Marrow Pill is a dozen or so bean-sized blood-colored pills. If you put it under your nose and smell it, it will have a faint fragrance.
Although these blood marrow pills are not enough to temper the essence and blood of his body, they can also remove some impurities from the essence and blood in his body, making the power of qi and blood more powerful in the future.
He will continue to participate in the competition tomorrow, and now is naturally not the time to take these blood marrow pills and directly temper the blood essence.
So Liu Ming put the Red Flame Pearl and Blood Marrow Pill away again, and began breathing and breathing with peace of mind.
For him, tomorrow is a day where failure is not an option.
Liu Ming was thinking lightly in his heart, and his mind gradually fell into concentration, and he became unaware of everything in the outside world.
Early on the third day, thousands of Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples once again poured into the stone mountain.
This time, all the disciples gathered around the largest stone platform at the top of the stone mountain, and the jade platform where the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect and a group of spiritual masters were also directly suspended more than a hundred feet above the stone platform.
"You all should already know the specific rules of the second round of the competition, so I won't say anything more. Now I announce that the second round of the competition has officially begun." The head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect came from Yutai.
After flying out, he made a faint announcement and flew back again.
At this time, a chubby old man flew down from the jade platform and landed firmly on the stone platform. After sweeping his eyes around, he said with a smile:
"Who am I? I think there are very few disciples and nephews who don't know me. The second round of competition will be hosted by Ruan."
This fat old man turned out to be the "Uncle Ruan" who was in charge of the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion!
