The second volume of the two hundred and thirty-eighth chapter the second Liu Ming
Years pass by, time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.!
There is not much difference between Xuanjing at this moment and three years ago. The only change is that there are many more cultivators from Haiyue Kingdom in Xuanjing. Most of them are casual cultivators, but there are also a small number of former cultivators.
A disciple of the Haiyue Kingdom sect.
When the Hai Clan invaded, most of the sects from the Hai Yue Kingdom were defeated and destroyed by the Hai Clan's thunderous means.
Most of the disciples who escaped from these sects and fled to Daxuan Kingdom joined the Tianyue Sect and other five sects, while the smaller half were unwilling to be restrained anymore and became true casual cultivators.
The emergence of these cultivators from other countries just filled the gap left by a large number of casual cultivators who fled Xuanjing. After a fierce battle, several major forces re-emerged, vaguely more powerful than the old forces three years ago.
Divided.
But all of this naturally has nothing to do with Liu Ming.
In the past three years, after the five sects stationed a large number of sect disciples at the junction of Daxuan Haiyue and Yue, they soon clashed with the invading Hai tribe.
According to the news Liu Ming received from the sect and some intelligence he collected, although both sides dispatched many powerful men in the crystallization stage, except for an earth-shattering battle at the beginning, they never appeared again.
A strong man of this level engaged in direct combat.
But there is a very tacit understanding that the battles between the spiritual masters and spiritual disciples on both sides have become extremely fierce and become more and more frequent. There are even twenty or thirty fallen spiritual masters on both sides.
As for those spiritual disciples with even lower cultivation levels, there are countless of them.
What surprised Liu Ming was that shortly after the war, both sides built a huge city on the border, and they both looked like they planned to fight for a long time.
The Barbarian Ghost Sect also lost seven or eight spiritual masters and many inner disciples in the past three years, some of whom were even known to Liu Ming.
Fortunately, due to the weak power of Jiuying Mountain, very few people died. The three spiritual masters surnamed Taoist Aunt Zhong were also safe and had been stationed in the sect without appearing at the border.
Originally, as Liu Ming's core disciple, he would most likely be recruited to participate in such a war. However, unfortunately, Xuanjing did need a capable disciple to monitor him because of the appearance of a Hai clan member, so he was never recruited.
I really want to call you back to the sect.
Of course, things happened in the past three years that made Liu Ming a little depressed.
That is, Gao Chong finally successfully advanced to become a spiritual master two years ago and also showed great success in the battle with the Sea Tribe at the border.
Rumor has it that he once killed a junior sea spiritual master by himself, and dozens of spiritual disciple-level sea warriors died in his hands.
It seems that after Gao Chong became a spiritual master, his strength was really not comparable to that of ordinary junior spiritual masters, otherwise he would never have been able to do such a thing.
But such a thing is naturally not good news for Liu Ming.
In the past three years, Liu Ming has been refining mana and accompanying the spirit of the sword embryo in the alchemy field, plus going to Fan Baizi to learn alchemy skills.
The progress of the first two was average, just making his magic power slightly purer than before, and making the spirit of the sword embryo stronger. But his learning of alchemy surprised Fan Baizi.
I don't know if he really has some talent in the art of alchemy, or for some other reason. In just three years, he has actually achieved some success in the art of alchemy, and has been able to independently refine several spiritual disciple-level elixirs.
Even the success rate is not too low.
However, although his talent in alchemy astonished all the disciples, once the three-year period was over, they still did not hesitate to let him go no further.
Of course, at this time, Liu Ming had already mastered alchemy. If he wanted to further improve his alchemy skills, there was only one way to practice more.
After all, it was impossible for Fan Baizi to really teach him, an outsider, some of his experience in refining mid- to high-level elixirs.
On this day, when Liu Ming walked out of the coffin shop in Xuanjing Hutong again, his face could not help but darken.
Although the news from the sects was ordinary, just some trivial routine reports, Liu Ming still felt from it that the sects did not seem to be going well in the recent confrontation with the Hai Clan, and they should be at a disadvantage.
This is the result of the Sea Clan dividing its power into several places and fighting several countries at the same time.
This shows how powerful the Hai clan is.
Of course, some of this is because the Sea Clan began to send some spies to sneak into various countries decades ago, laying many traps to weaken the power of the human race, and only launched them simultaneously in the early stages of the invasion.
However, all this is still too far away for Liu Ming now.
Now he returned to the secret room of the cave, sat down in the lotus position, and was about to start practicing, when he suddenly felt that the magic power in his body was boiling, and then it rushed towards the Dantian like crazy.
"here we go!"
Liu Ming was stunned at first, but then he became overjoyed.
He then patted the two leather bags at his waist, and immediately two streams of black energy emerged from them, transforming into the white bone scorpion and the flying head respectively.
"Bang" and "bang" twice.
Liu Ming unceremoniously grabbed the White Bone Scorpion's tail hook with one hand, and grabbed a strand of Feitou's long hair with the other. Then black energy emerged from his body, and he began to try his best to control the flow of mana in his body.!
As time passed by, the black energy swirling around his body became thinner and thinner.
When Liu Ming felt that only about one-tenth of the mana in his body was left, the suction in his dantian suddenly stopped.
At the same time, he only felt a "buzzing" sound in his ears, his eyes went dark, and he was in a gray space.
After such a long separation, he finally entered the mysterious space again, and the Flying Skull and the Bone Scorpion were also closely following him.
But when Liu Mingzhen saw everything in front of him clearly, his expression changed drastically.
In the space that was supposed to be empty, there was actually another figure sitting cross-legged on the ground. Regardless of his clothing or appearance, he looked exactly like him.
Liu Ming was completely stunned.
At this moment, the flying head next to him suddenly flew out and landed directly in front of "Liu Ming" on the opposite side. He lay face to the ground and became motionless.
When Liu Ming saw this, his heart thumped. Even though he was full of shock and doubt, he hurriedly made a seal to communicate with Feitou's mind first.
As a result, all the messages from Feitou were words like "Master, another powerful master".
After hearing this, Liu Ming became even more confused, but he also vaguely knew in his heart that the reason why the demon Feitou was so easily surrendered by him in the first place probably had something to do with the "himself" in front of him.
After thinking about it like this, he naturally did not dare to neglect him, but after carefully looking at "Liu Ming" opposite him, his expression changed slightly.
The "self" opposite seems to have never moved, and there doesn't seem to be any breath coming from it. Is it just a dead thing?
Liu Ming, who became suspicious, immediately ignored Feitou, and slowly circled the opposite "Liu Ming" for a few times, then put a finger on his forehead, released his mental power, and directed towards the opponent.
He looked around and left.
As a result, the moment his mental power came into contact with the opponent "Liu Ming", it was immediately bounced away by an invisible force. No matter how much he urged it, he could not get any closer to the opponent's body.
This made Liu Ming's heart sink.
But after hesitating for a moment, he clasped his fists with both hands, bowed slightly to "Liu Ming" across from him and said:
"I don't know why the senior, who has a great name, has to be here in the form of a junior."
Opposite him, "Liu Ming" still had his eyes closed and was motionless on the ground.
Liu Ming frowned when he saw this situation. After standing up straight again, he looked at the other person up and down again.
The inch-long faint scar on his forehead was scratched with a sharp stone by a murderer on the murderous island when he was a child. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised. This is a habit he developed when he was meditating and resting.
There was a shallow blood mark on the thumb of the palm of his hand, which was accidentally scratched when he was practicing some new wind blade technique yesterday.
The more Liu Ming looked at it carefully, the more he felt that the other person was simply his second "me", and he couldn't help feeling chilly in his heart.
"Since Your Excellency refuses to speak, I'm offended." Liu Ming's face changed for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said.
Then his sleeves flicked, silver light flashed, and a silver chain wrapped around the other party.
After a jingling sound, the silver chains tied "Liu Ming" tightly without any resistance.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming's expression relaxed slightly, and then he flipped his hand unceremoniously, and another stack of talismans appeared. With both hands raised, they all shot out, and were attached to "Liu Ming" one after another.
On the body.
In this way, Liu Ming saw that "he" on the opposite side was trapped by the Demon Subduing Chain and many restraining talismans at the same time, and then he approached with confidence.
After he circled "himself" twice more, he raised his arm with a calm expression and carefully touched the other person's shoulder.
During this process, Liu Ming stared at "himself" on the opposite side without blinking.
As a result, this "Liu Ming" still sat cross-legged on the ground without moving for a moment, but when his palm was really placed on the opponent's shoulder, he was suddenly shocked, and an innumerable strange cold force immediately surged out from the opponent's shoulder.
, passed directly into his arm.
Liu Ming was startled, and with a movement of his body, he appeared a few feet away, and then stared solemnly at the other person's face.
As a result, there was nothing unusual about "Liu Ming" on the other side, as if the strange cold power just now was just an illusion in his mind.
But when Liu Ming glanced sideways at the arm that had just touched the other person's shoulder, his face became gloomy and uncertain.
I saw that the arm was completely numb and completely covered with a layer of black frost.
Liu Ming made a seal with one hand, and black energy immediately came out of his body and surged towards his numb arms.
As a result, within a short time, the black frost on the gang's arms quickly faded away, and Bergman regained consciousness.
But at this time, Liu Ming naturally felt more and more mysterious about "himself" in front of him.
