"Hmph, we no longer compete with them for the spiritual disciples trained by our sect. If the children of these aristocratic families also want to compete, then don't blame us for being rude. Although this branch has been in decline for many years, it cannot be tolerated.
You are really on top of me." The man in Confucian robes replied with a serious look on his face.
"Now that senior brother has made up his mind, junior brother and junior sister Zhong will naturally support it. There are only three spiritual masters left in our group, so we naturally have to advance and retreat together." After thinking about it for a while, the man with shaggy hair finally made up his mind and said
.
But as soon as he finished saying this, his expression suddenly changed, and a violent cough followed. He quickly took off the scarlet gourd from his waist, pulled out the stopper, raised his head and poured a few mouthfuls of emerald green liquid into his mouth.
A strong aroma of wine came out of it, and it turned out to be some kind of unknown spirit.
After taking a few sips of strong wine, the man with disheveled hair looked a little better.
"Junior Brother Zhu, are you okay? The coldness in your body has been persistent for many years. If you just use medicinal wine to deal with it, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause." Seeing this, the Confucian scholar showed a hint of worry.
"Senior Brother Gui, don't worry. As long as I drink this 'Sanyang Wine' in time, I can control the onset of the cold disease. I don't have to worry too much." The man with the blond hair replied with a smile, as if he really didn't care about his cold disease.
.
"It's all my fault, brother. I knew that you had just advanced to become a spiritual master. I should have let my junior brother consolidate your realm a little more before letting you go to the Nightmare Cliff. Otherwise, you might not have suffered such a cold illness." The Confucian scholar said with regret.
"It's not my fault, senior brother. I took the initiative to ask to go. After all, senior brother was also at a critical stage of cultivation at that time and could not leave the sect even half a step, but junior sister Zhong was already in critical condition and could not waste time at all." The man with blond hair shook his head.
said.
"After this spiritual opening ceremony, I will go to my uncle again and ask for a few more Pure Yang Pills. Although this pill cannot cure the cold disease, it can at least ease your pain." Confucian scholar
Said solemnly.
"Forget it, my uncle is currently undergoing a life-and-death retreat. The previous interruptions have already caused a lot of dissatisfaction on several other mountaintops. If we go again, we will really have something in their hands." The man with the disheveled hair smiled bitterly.
"You don't need to worry about this. If they really want to come, I will deal with it." The Confucian scholar said with a cold snort.
After hesitating for a moment, the man with loose hair finally said nothing.
Then the two people chatted for a few more words behind the tree, and then disappeared again in a light mist.
At this time, when many boys and girls walked to a row of obviously newly built stone houses, they were arranged to go in one after another with a casual gesture from the big man.
When Liu Ming pushed open the door, which smelled of fresh wood, a room no more than three to four feet long and wide appeared in front of him.
There is a green wood table, a wooden chair of the same material, a gray and white stone bed about ten feet long, with a thin cotton quilt spread on it, and nothing else.
Seeing all this, Liu Ming not only did not show a disappointed expression, but instead sighed softly, walked a few steps to the stone bed and sat down.
The similar simple furnishings in the stone house reminded him of the difficult life on the evil island, and he couldn't help but feel in a trance.
I don't know how long it took for him to come back to his senses. After thinking about it for a while, he began to carefully check every corner and all the furniture in the stone house. Only after seeing that they were just ordinary things and nothing unusual did he really relax.
Lying on the stone bed, I began to think about some things silently.
At that time, he was directly taken away by the government and sent to the evil island because of his father's crime. Even though they were separated by many years, he still remembered many details.
At the time of the incident, apart from him and his father, there were only a few servants in the house.
As for his mother, I have never seen him since he was sensible. It is said that she passed away due to dystocia when she was giving birth to him.
As for other relatives and friends, I have never heard my father talk about it.
But he vaguely heard from other people that his father took him as a baby and moved from a far away place. As for where he originally lived, no one knew.
His father was very strict with him. As soon as he was sensible, he began to teach him to read and read, and asked him to recite some ancient scrolls.
Just a few nights before his father was arrested, he suddenly asked Liu Ming, who was only a few years old, to memorize an extremely secret place until he knew the location by heart, and repeatedly told him not to tell any third person.
, then it’s time to give up.
A few days later, his father was captured by the government officials who rushed through the door, and he was sent directly to the evil island.
Probably those officials never thought that they could get any useful information from a boy of several years old.
But when he thought about the secret place that was still engraved in his heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When he was a child, he didn't know what that place name meant, but now he knows that for him, it is not much different from the dragon's pool and the tiger's den.
If you don't have enough strength to go there, it's almost suicide.
The fact that his father so solemnly asked him to write down that secret place must have contained a very important secret, and it was most likely directly related to his father being caught and killed in prison.
And the messenger behind the scenes could use the charge of 'disrespectful' to directly bring about his father's death. He must be a very powerful person. Ordinary detection methods may be useless, and may even alert the snake, causing a serious disaster for himself.
But how can one not avenge the murder of his father?
Thinking of this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed with a gloomy look that shouldn't be seen at this age.
If he had been unable to do anything about this before, now it should not be difficult as long as he can become a spiritual disciple, or pass the spiritual opening ceremony alive, and then enter there after his strength has greatly improved.
However, when he thought about what the man in soap clothes said about the terrifying proportion of children from aristocratic families who have achieved enlightenment, even though he had always been somewhat confident in himself, he couldn't help but feel a slight sinking in his heart.
Regarding the specific process of the spiritual opening ceremony, he naturally asked the two bosses in detail on the way.
It's a pity that the two of them are just high-level servants of the Bai family and don't know much about it. They only know that through this ritual, external force can be used to strengthen and reveal the unsolidified spiritual veins in the body of the person with spiritual veins, and with the help of the power of the ritual, they can condense it in the body.
The biggest difference between a spiritual disciple and a spiritual master is the spiritual sea.
Only after possessing the Spiritual Sea can a spiritual disciple transform his Yuan Power into real mana bit by bit. The speed of cultivating Yuan Power is vastly different from before, and is beyond the imagination of ordinary Qi refiners.
The Linghai thing is extremely mysterious, and Guan and the other two have no idea about it, which makes Liu Ming a little helpless.
Forget it, all he can do is practice the art of controlling Yuan more intensively.
Although I don’t know if becoming more proficient in this technique can help with the spirit opening ceremony, but this is the only thing I can do now.
And with that kind of ability, even though there is not much time left, it should still have some effect.
When Liu Ming thought of his special talent, he couldn't help but smile.
This ability was not something he was born with, but after experiencing a drastic change in his family and witnessing a series of bloody events as a young child on a dangerous island, he became seriously ill and suddenly discovered that he had this inexplicable ability.
Such a weird talent.
This ability allows him to split his consciousness into two halves, and at the same time, he can direct each half of his body to do its own thing.
And his ability is quite different from the rumored "multitasking" talents.
The two halves of his spirit after being divided into two can actually gradually grow stronger after a certain amount of training, and can also make half of the consciousness active and the other half in a dormant state.
However, what is commonly referred to as "doing two things at once" will never occur in the above two situations.
After he discovered a few anomalies, carefully asked other people on the island, and read some related classics that were not many on the island, he finally confirmed after a few years that his ability should be used for multitasking.
'Another variation and strengthening.
As for what this mutation is and whether it has any consequences, this is not something Liu Ming can know.
After possessing talent, he naturally would not waste it. After years of intentional and unintentional training, his mental power has increased astonishingly, almost twice as much as that of a normal person.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to persist for such a long time under the pursuit of many policemen and Black Tiger Guards.
Previously, he had not shown all the abilities of this talent in front of Guan Lao San and Gu Lao San. He could rest half of his energy in turn, so his ability was not as simple as one plus one.
When he was on the evil island, as long as he wanted to, he could even practice and study some secret skills day and night for five or six days in a row, and then as long as he had a full night's sleep, he would be mentally restored to his original state.
That is to say, his cultivation time is almost several times longer than that of ordinary people.
This is also the fundamental reason why he was able to master so many secret skills on the Evil Island at such a young age.
Liu Ming recalled this, closed his eyes for a moment, then sat up, took a deep breath and started practicing on the stone bed.
For him, rest is really a luxury.
So for the next ten days or so, Liu Ming hardly stepped out of his stone house except for specific meal times, practicing the art of controlling energy day and night.
The Tiger's Bite Ring, which was originally a bit obscure to activate, became more user-friendly than before in just ten days under his hard training.
During this period, other boys and girls, some like Liu Ming, stayed in the stone house behind closed doors, some were wandering around in the woods, and some gathered together as brothers, chatting about something hot every day.
However, Fang Xiong and other outer disciples turned a blind eye to this and allowed the boys and girls to move around freely as long as they did not go out of the woods.
Just like that, the day for the spiritual opening ceremony finally arrived.
