After all, the matter about the life and death trial in the secret realm has been completely spread at this moment.
As a newcomer among the top ten disciples, Liu Ming has gained more in the secret realm than the veteran disciple Yang Qian, which naturally attracts countless envious and jealous eyes.
But as soon as Liu Ming returned to Jiuying Mountain with the head of the Mangui Sect, except for meeting Gui Ruquan and the other three people once, he immediately returned to his residence and stayed behind closed doors.
This naturally makes many people who want to establish some relationships or have other ideas greatly disappointed.
Today, Liu Ming is sitting cross-legged in the room, making secrets with his hands, and quickly refining a silver chain coiled several times on his arm. At the same time, black energy is rolling around his body, and there are faint black tentacles dancing wildly.
After an unknown amount of time, he took a long breath, dispersed the spells in his hands, and inhaled the black energy from his body back into his body. Then he slapped the silver chain with one hand, and layers of pattern arrays suddenly appeared out of thin air. There are as many as seventeen layers.
Seeing this, Liu Ming couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Although this demon-subduing chain is only a middle-grade spiritual weapon, the patterns contained on it are obviously completely different from other spiritual weapons he has seen before. It is almost twice as complex and mysterious, and the entire chain is extremely tough. Even if you slash it with the Green Moon Sword, you won't be able to leave the slightest sword mark, and there will still be a faint trace of strange cold emanating from it.
It seems that this thing is more than just a middle-grade spiritual weapon, otherwise how could it control the flying head in the middle.
When Liu Ming thought about the devil, his expression changed slightly.
As soon as he returned to the sect, he naturally went to the Secret Law Pavilion on the mountain, and deliberately found some more books about demons, and studied them again.
After reading it, he realized how lucky he was to be able to conquer the flying head that day.
In the history of the Jiuying lineage, there are many people who tried to subdue demons like Feitou during their spiritual apprenticeship, but they all ended up being drained of their essence and blood and died.
Ishikawa was able to barely control this demon at the beginning. In fact, most of it was due to the help of Gui Ruquan and others to cast spells and the help of this demon-subduing chain, which has a special restraint effect on monsters. In essence, it is not really subduing this demon. Skull.
According to records in the classics, the so-called demons are actually extremely evil things born from negative energy such as filth. They were originally invisible and incorporeal, somewhat similar to powerful demon souls, but later they became destructive through various means such as swallowing each other. You can gradually become stronger and have a body.
And because demons grow erratically, their natural shapes are all kinds of strange, and they can take any shape. However, some types of demons are relatively common and often appear in front of people, so they are named and are also trained according to the relative rules. Their strength is divided into nine levels.
A first-grade demon is almost as powerful as an early-stage liquid condensation spiritual disciple.
A second-grade demon possesses the strength of a mid-level spiritual disciple.
The third-level demon leader suddenly possesses the power of a spiritual disciple in the late stage of great perfection.
A fourth-grade demon can possess the strength of the initial stage of condensation.
The fifth-grade brows are equivalent to the strength of a mid-level liquid condensation spiritual master.
By analogy, when you reach the ninth level of devil, you can fight with the existence of Dzogchen in the crystallization stage without falling behind at all.
Of course, after the strength of these demons greatly increases, they can be advanced to higher levels, but the names of their forms will naturally be completely different at that time.
According to the description in the classics, Flying Skull is a fourth-level demon. However, Jiuying, the most powerful person in the Barbarian Ghost Sect, is rumored to be a seventh-level demon. And Jiuying apparently evolved from Flying Skull.
After Liu Ming saw these records in the classics, he was naturally shocked and confused.
Although that flying head performed very well in the secret realm, it didn't have the level of strength of a liquid condensation stage spiritualist.
And there is a huge gap between Feitou and Jiuying by two levels, and the former can actually evolve into a terrifying existence like the latter.
However, naturally he would not be able to figure out all this before he had practiced the relevant secret techniques and could thoroughly communicate with Feitouqian.
Naturally, he would not ask Gui Ruquan and others directly about this kind of question.
Otherwise, once they know that Flying Skull and Fu Mo have fallen into their hands, they will most likely want to take them back.
For him, these two things are good things that can greatly improve his strength, and strong strength is the fundamental guarantee for survival, so naturally he never wants to hand it back.
When Liu Ming thought of this, he couldn't help but recall the situation when he was summoned by Gui Ruquan and the others.
After these three people learned that Ishikawa failed to get out of the secret realm, but Liu Ming shined in the life and death trial, and the final reward was even better than Yang Gan, the expressions on their faces were complicated and abnormal, but overall they were naturally happy.
A majority.
After all, Liu Ming's performance this time was enough for Jiuying to get out of the bottom position in the sect.
The three of them said some very encouraging words to Liu Ming, and rewarded him with some pills on the spot. They also hinted that they would help him get back the tenth of the harvest he deserved from the sect, so that he would not have to worry about it.
.
In the cave at the entrance to the secret realm, all the resources handed over by their disciples, together with the Sumeru handkerchiefs originally distributed, were all taken away by the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. As for the agreed tenth share and other rewards, naturally
It will be distributed uniformly after some discussion after returning to the sect.
When Liu Ming heard this, he naturally expressed his gratitude.
However, he did find out a few secret techniques for communicating with the minds of monsters, but most of them must be taught by Gui Ruquan and others in person before they can be learned.
As a result, he could only focus on a secret technique called "Demon Heart Art".
This secret technique can be regarded as not only a method of communicating with monsters, but also a kind of spiritual magic. After being used, it can not only communicate with monsters, but also protect one's mind to a certain extent, protecting it from a certain degree of spiritual mystery.
Technological attack.
Naturally, ordinary people are not qualified to learn such a secret technique that has both ends, so they can only obtain the cultivation formula by spending a certain amount of contribution points in the Sutra Pavilion.
But now that his contribution is empty, this matter will naturally be put aside for now.
In the past few days, he could only wait for the rewards from the sect to be distributed while busy refining this demon-suppressing stick.
For ordinary spiritual disciples, because they are not spiritual masters, they cannot condense their spiritual thoughts and can only control one spiritual weapon at a time.
But for him, because of his dual-tasking talent, he can control two spiritual weapons at the same time effortlessly.
In this way, he can control the Blue Moon Sword and the Demon Subduing Chain at the same time when facing the enemy. There must be very few spiritual masters who can be his opponent.
As for the Biying Needle, because the refining weight is too low, it is usually only used as a trump card. When facing the enemy head-on, the effect will not be too great.
While Liu Ming was thinking about it, a pleasant female voice came from outside the house:
"Junior Brother Bai, are you here? Master Gui is calling you up the mountain now. It seems that you are being rewarded by the sect."
When Liu Ming heard the voice, it sounded familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized it and hurriedly replied:
"Is that Senior Sister Gu outside? Brother, come out right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, his arm shook, and the silver chain wrapped around it scurried like a snake, and disappeared into his sleeve.
At this time, he stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Outside his courtyard, he saw a beautiful and plump woman standing. It was Gu Meishan, a woman who attracted much attention in the Jiuying lineage.
"Junior Brother Bai, I'm not going to congratulate you. Geez, Junior Brother has made great contributions to the sect and our Nine Infants this time. He will definitely have a bright future in the future.
Maybe, Master Gui will directly promote you to the position of Senior Brother of this lineage." When the woman saw Liu Ming coming out, she immediately giggled and said, her expression actually seemed quite intimate.
Liu Ming was slightly startled at first, but he immediately smiled and replied politely.
"Senior sister is joking. I was lucky enough to achieve some success this time. How dare I compare with you fellow senior brothers and sisters?"
"Junior Brother Bai, what you said is not very sincere. You are not very young, but you behave like a seventy or eighty-year-old man. This is too boring." Gu Meishan blinked after hearing this.
, looking somewhat disapproving.
Liu Ming smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Gu Meishan had no choice but to give Liu Ming another look, then took the lead and flew towards the top of the mountain.
Liu Ming made a secret gesture and Feitian followed closely behind.
After a cup of tea, he appeared in the main hall on the top of Jiuying Mountain.
In addition to Gui Ruquan, Taoist nun surnamed Zhong, and Zhu Chi, the Taoist surnamed Zhang from the poisonous spirit lineage was also sitting there.
"Disciple pays homage to Master and all the uncles!" Liu Ming first bowed to Taoist Aunt Zhong, and then bowed to the others.
"Congtian, please get up. We have called you up this time because the rewards have been distributed to you, and Master Zhang personally sent them here." Taoist nun surnamed Zhong looked at Liu Ming with a very kind look.
It's no wonder that he accepted Liu Ming as his direct disciple not long ago, and here he has made such great contributions to the sect and the Jiuying lineage, which makes him very proud.
Taoist nun surnamed Zhong was extremely satisfied and felt a little affection for Liu Ming.
"This time, the disciples of our sect who participated in the secret realm trial have brought great honor to our Barbarian Ghost Sect. I believe that the head master will not be too stingy in our rewards." Gui Ruquan also smiled at the middle-aged man.
The Taoist priest said.
"Senior Brother Gui is joking. Senior Nephew Bai is a disciple who has been designated by Senior Uncle Yan to be rewarded more. How could Senior Brother, the head master, not reward generously? Don't worry, as far as I know, Senior Nephew Bai's reward may not be as generous at all.
Not inferior to Master Nephew Seyang." The middle-aged Taoist priest replied seriously.
"If this is the case, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the head brother." Upon hearing this, Taoist Aunt Zhong showed a bit of joy on her face.
"Haha, it's not too late to say thank you after Master Nephew Bai has seen the reward." The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile.
