"Fellow Daoist Liu, oh no, Senior Liu already knows this." The old man surnamed Yan changed his name to Liu Ming again.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, there is no need to use the word "senior". You and I are still equals, just call me by my name." Liu Ming shook his head and said.
"How dare you? Senior Liu has already advanced to the true elixir, how can I be so arrogant?" the old man surnamed Yan said in a hurry.
"No matter what my cultivation level is, I will always be a disciple of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. Please don't be so polite, otherwise I will feel a little uncomfortable." Liu Ming said calmly.
"Since Fellow Daoist Liu said so, Yan will not refuse." The old man surnamed Yan felt that Liu Ming's tone was a little harsh and he hurriedly agreed.
"As fellow Taoists know, a hundred years ago, the Siren Emperor returned to the Canghai Domain. Not only did he greatly improve his cultivation, but he also rebuilt the Sea Palace and gathered a large number of former subordinates. Over the years, he has been gradually encroaching on all the areas in the Canghai Domain.
He is a force on the island. All the forces of the original Canghai royal family have been conquered by him, and now they have become the main force that invades our Yunchuan. The truce agreement between us and the sea clan was originally caused by the Kraken Emperor. Now they have become the Kraken.
The emperor's minions, this agreement is naturally not included. If our Yunchuan continent is not located in a remote location, and the Yunchuan Alliance is united, I am afraid that it would have been annexed by the Siren Emperor... But even so, under the current situation, I am afraid that it will be supported.
It won't be long." The old man surnamed Yan said slowly with a bitter look on his face.
"As for the V sect, due to the frequent wars with the Hai Clan over the years, their vitality has been severely damaged, and their strength is no longer 23/10 of what it was back then. The same is true for other sects in the Yunchuan Alliance." The old man surnamed Yan paused and continued.
said.
"By the way. I wonder how the Jiuying lineage is doing now?" Liu Ming nodded, as if he thought of something again, and asked again.
Liu Ming had already learned some about the situation of the Siren Emperor and the Sea Clan from Zhang Xiu Niang. As for the current bad situation in Yunchuan, he had generally expected it.
"Master Nephew Gui, the leader of the Nine Infants lineage, unfortunately died in a battle with the Hai Clan more than ten years ago. Now the only spiritual master left in the Nine Infants lineage is Master Nephew Zhong." The old man surnamed Yan sighed.
He took a breath and said slowly.
Liu Ming was relieved when he heard that Taoist nun surnamed Zhong was still there. He could only sigh secretly at Gui Ruquan's death.
There were not many outstanding disciples of the Jiuying lineage back then, and Yu Cheng died in the Fujiao Island ban. Ishikawa fell in the life and death trial. In recent years, the sect has been conducting frequent conquests, resulting in scarcer resources, and no one has advanced to the spiritual level.
Teacher, this is normal too.
"As for the other veins, the situation is similar..." the leader of Huangshi on the side continued.
After some inquiries, Liu Ming found helplessly that very few of his acquaintances in the Barbarian Ghost Sect were still alive today.
Uncle Ruan, who originally taught him the fourth level of Nether Bone Technique, failed to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of condensation. His longevity had long since passed away.
Master Lei from the Tianji lineage and Master Bing, Jialan's former master from the Yinsha lineage, also died successively in the battles with the Hai Clan over the years.
Mu Yunxian and Du Hai, who had a good relationship with him, had become Taoist couples a hundred years ago. After that, Du Hai realized that there was no hope of breaking through as a spiritual master, so they both returned to the family. They had not been with the Barbarian Ghost Sect for a long time.
On the other hand, Qian Huiniang of the Ghost Dance lineage condensed liquid into a gangbang several times, and finally found an opportunity, and luckily entered the liquid condensation stage to become a spiritual master. And Zhang Cuier, an eccentric girl, has also grown up, and she lives in the spiritual marrow.
His body has reached the middle stage of liquid condensation and has become the mainstay of the mountain.
Gao Chong is the body of the earth spirit vein. After years of cultivation, like Zhang Xiu Niang, she has reached the Great Perfection in the late stage of liquid condensation, and she is the most promising person in the sect to advance to the stage of crystal condensation.
As for the rather mysterious Yang Qian, he suddenly left the sect a hundred years ago and has never been heard from again.
"Senior Brother Yang is no longer in the sect?" Liu Ming frowned slightly. Among the younger generation of spiritual masters in the Barbarian Ghost Sect, only Yang Qian had some friendship with him. Unexpectedly, he didn't have a chance to meet him when he came back this time. .
"Fellow Daoist Liu does not know that the origin of Yang Qian is quite mysterious. Back then, he was recommended by a mysterious crystal-forming monk to join the sect, and at the same time he promised a large amount of resources. Although I hesitated at the time, but out of The sect considered it and accepted it. Shortly after the war with the Hai Clan broke out, this person suddenly appeared and took Yang Gan away, and there was no news from him after that." The old man surnamed Yan said after thinking for a while. .
"Oh, Senior Brother Yang actually has such a background." Liu Ming said slightly surprised.
"We have also secretly investigated Yang Qian's origins, but we have never found anything. He has not done anything unusual in the sect, so we will not delve into the matter further." The head of Huangshi intervened and said.
Liu Ming nodded slowly when he heard this, his eyes shining slightly.
"When our sect was at its peak, there were nearly thirty spiritual masters, but now there are only a dozen left, and I don't have a few years left, so the current situation of our sect can be said to be extremely critical, but now that my fellow Taoist has returned , these problems will naturally cease to exist." The old man surnamed Yan said to Liu Ming with profound meaning.
Liu Ming smiled slightly and said nothing.
"The news of Senior Liu's return must be notified to the other lineages and spiritual masters of the sect as soon as possible. A little later, a reception ceremony will be held to summon all the disciples in the sect to see Senior and celebrate the birth of a true sect. A powerful monk in the alchemy realm." After thinking about it for a while, the leader of Huangshi said with a smile.
"Yes, that's exactly what it should be. I was so happy that I forgot about this matter. Mr. Huang, you can go and do it." The old man surnamed Yan nodded in agreement and ordered.
The head of Huangshi agreed and stood up.
"Wait a minute! I don't like all this excitement by nature, so I can avoid this if possible." Liu Ming waved his hand to stop him.
The old man surnamed Yan and the leader of Huangshi were both startled when they heard this.
"Since Fellow Daoist Liu doesn't like this, let's keep it simple. Later, only the spirit masters from various channels will be able to meet with Fellow Daoist Liu. How about that?" The old man surnamed Yan pondered for a moment and said with a questioning tone.
"Let's do it this way. I just came back, and I plan to go back to Jiuying Mountain to have a look first." Liu Ming didn't bother to brush their minds too much, and stood up and said.
Naturally, the old man surnamed Yan and the head of Huangshi did not meet each other by chance, and immediately sent Liu Ming respectfully out of the hall.
After a flash of light, Liu Ming immediately rose into the sky and flew towards Jiuying Mountain.
"I didn't expect that a disciple of the Three Spiritual Veins back then would be able to cultivate to the late stage of the True Pill. I never expected it." Huang Shi murmured in disbelief as he watched Liu Ming disappear into the distance.
"For Fellow Daoist Liu to be able to cultivate to the level he is today, it must be more than what he says, but we don't need to care about this. Fellow Daoist Liu is now the biggest backer of our sect, and we must do everything we can to win him over. You first go and send a message to the various branches. Spiritual Master, we will discuss the matter of the Wind Receiving Ceremony later." The old man surnamed Yan thought for a while and then ordered.
"Yes, Uncle Yan has thought it over carefully. I will make arrangements right away." Headmaster Huangshi hurriedly agreed and walked away quickly.
After Huang Shi left, the old man surnamed Yan stood at the door of the palace for a long time, seeming to be thinking about something, and left quickly after a while.
At this time, Liu Ming had already turned into a stream of light and arrived in front of a mountain peak.
Looking from a distance, the dozen or so tall buildings on the top of the mountain looked a bit dilapidated, but he still recognized it at a glance. This was the Jiuying Mountain where he had stayed when he first entered the mountain.
Liu Ming's expression changed, and after a flash of black light, he appeared in the sky above a stone house on the mountainside.
This is the small courtyard where he lived back then. It doesn't seem to have changed much now, except that the entire courtyard seems to have been empty and uninhabited, and the courtyard is covered with thick dust.
Liu Ming glanced at it for a few times. A trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
Back then, he pretended to be a descendant of the Bai family and entered the Jiuying lineage with the qualifications of the three spiritual veins. He grew from an unknown registered disciple to a spiritual master who later made the sect pay attention. Every bit of it, even though many years have passed,
.But it is still vivid in my mind.
After a while, Liu Ming shook his head. He moved and continued towards the top of Jiuying Mountain.
As soon as he appeared in front of the Jiuying Mountain Hall, his expression was startled.
I saw a purple-robed Taoist nun with white temples standing on the square in front of the main hall. Behind her were more than twenty disciples of the Nine Infants lineage, respectfully arranged on both sides.
The purple-robed Taoist nun looks about forty or fifty years old, with slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she can vaguely see some of her youthful beauty.
This person is Taoist nun surnamed Zhong.
Upon seeing Liu Ming's figure, Taoist nun Zhong's body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Liu Ming felt a ripple in Gujing Bubo's mood, as if time had traveled more than a hundred years ago, when he had just been brought to Jiuying Mountain...
"Master." Liu Ming took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and bowed respectfully to Daogu Zhong.
"The master brother just sent me a message. I still can't believe it. I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years, and you are now a True Alchemy Realm monk. Although you and I were considered masters and disciples at the beginning, but now that times have changed, I really don't dare to treat you as a monk anymore.
The disciples looked at each other." Daogu Zhong looked at Liu Ming carefully for a few times, her eyes were filled with relief, but she still said with a wry smile.
"Master, what are you talking about? I have received great favor from you many times as a disciple. No matter when the time comes, I will be your disciple." Liu Ming raised his head and said word by word.
Hearing this, Zhong Daogu's expression changed for a while, as if she was moved, and then she seemed to sigh. She opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"Master, are these disciples of the Nine Infants lineage?" Liu Ming changed the topic and his eyes fell on the two rows of spiritual disciples and monks behind him.
These disciples all look very young. Most of them are in the early and middle stages of spiritual disciple cultivation, and there are only two or three people who are in the later stages of cultivation.
"Yes, most of them are new disciples in the past ten years or so." Daogu Zhong looked back at the disciples behind her and nodded.
"I've met Senior Liu!" The two rows of disciples saluted Liu Ming and said in unison.
"Okay, no need to be too polite." Liu Ming nodded, and suddenly grabbed it with his big hand, and a black halo of light appeared above the heads of the disciples, and opened with a roar, covering more than twenty people.
