Volume Four: The Disciples of Taiqing 484 The Secret of Alien Races
At this point, the second level of the Dragon and Tiger Underworld Skill was finally completed. When he held it with both hands, he suddenly felt that the strength and strength of his physical body had increased by as much as one-third compared to before.
When Liu Ming saw this, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes flickering with a thoughtful look on his face.
Although he has completed the second level of the Dragon-Tiger Underworld Skill, his own cultivation level is still a little short of breaking through the late stage of condensation.
In the next few days, Liu Ming was not in a hurry to leave the cave, but continued to stabilize the second level of the Dragon Tiger Underworld Skill he had just completed in the secret room, and took the opportunity to find a way to break through the bottleneck.
But while he was concentrating on practicing, the sect token in his sleeve suddenly kept flashing.
When he took it out with a flick of his sleeve, and injected some mana into the token, a green light flashed, and then a faint message came from it:
"Outer disciples who have received this message should quickly gather in the main hall of Piaohongyuan."
Although I don’t know what the reason for calling everyone so urgently is, but since he is not one of them, there must be something important to announce.
Liu Ming immediately raised his sleeves and robe without saying a word, put away the various pill bottles scattered on the ground, and then walked out of the cave and headed towards the Piaohongyuan.
Less than half an hour later, Liu Ming arrived at the main hall of Piaohongyuan. At this time, thirty outer disciples were gathered together in the main hall.
Most of these outer disciples look very young, the younger ones are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the older ones are only in their mid-twenties. Judging from the auras they emit, their cultivation levels range from the early stage to the late stage of the Condensed Liquid Realm.
.
Some were whispering, some were looking around, and most of them were sitting cross-legged, closing their eyes and concentrating.
And Liang Zhange, the vice president whom Liu Minggang saw when he was reporting earlier, was standing next to the main seat with his hands behind his back. There was no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Liu Ming walked to the crowd and found an open space. He also sat cross-legged on the ground and waited quietly.
In the following time, more than ten outer disciples came one after another from all directions and silently joined the crowd.
Not long after, there were forty or fifty disciples in the main hall. Since Liang Zhange, the vice-chancellor, did not speak, everyone had no choice but to continue waiting.
Among them were Yan Xueyun.
When the two people saw Liu Ming, they naturally nodded from a distance.
After another half a cup of tea, a gray ray of light suddenly came quickly from a distance and landed outside the door of the main hall. The ray of light dimmed. It was an old man wearing a gray Ge shirt.
"Master Jiang." Vice-president Liang Zhange, who had been silent at first, immediately saluted the old man with an arched hand when he saw the old man stepping into the palace.
"Master?"
As soon as these words came out, the outer sect disciples who were whispering among themselves immediately stopped talking, and everyone who was sitting cross-legged stood up one after another, and their eyes fell on the sudden appearance of the dean.
Liu Ming also opened his eyes and stood up. Following everyone's gazes, he looked at the master of the hospital whom he had never met before.
But the person who came looked like he was about sixty years old, with a goatee three to four inches long on his chin, but his face was rosy and extremely energetic.
Under the gaze of everyone, the old man walked slowly to the main seat of the hall with a normal expression, turned around and sat down.
"Everyone, I, Jiang Zhong, is the master of Piaohong Academy. In recent years, I have been busy with some affairs because I have been away from home. I rarely manage Piaohong Academy. You are all new disciples who have entered Piaohong Academy in the past three years.
So naturally not many people have met me." The old man in Ge Shan said lightly as he twirled his beard.
Naturally, Liu Ming and others hurried forward to greet them, but the old man waved his hand and directly revealed the reason for calling everyone this time:
"The purpose of calling everyone here this time is actually for the upcoming competition. According to the rules, new outer disciples must participate in an entrance trial jointly held by the eight outer courtyards of our sect. After passing it, they will be eligible to participate in the three
The annual minor competition and the ten-year major competition are officially recognized by other outer disciples.",
When Liu Ming heard this, he was startled. He glanced at the other outer disciples around him and found that except for a few people who also had expressions of surprise, most of the others had calm expressions on their faces. They had obviously known it for a long time.
What this looks like.
Yan Ming and Xueyun both looked calm and composed, obviously they were not new to this entry trial.
However, another young man who was unusually tall, about two feet tall, with lavender pupils, and who did not look like an ordinary human being, attracted Liu Ming's attention, and he couldn't help but look at him twice.
However, this young man with purple eyes seemed to have extremely sensitive consciousness. He instantly turned his head and glanced at Liu Ming's place, but after a brief glance, he immediately moved away as if nothing had happened.
This made Liu Ming's heart tremble slightly.
"I won't go into details. Someone will explain it to you when the time comes. In addition, the trial place for this entry is set to be in the Xiaoyan Realm. If you think your cultivation is not enough, or you don't want to participate at all, you will not be able to participate next year.
For Xiao Bi, you can quit and wait until the next trial in three years before participating again." The old man paused before speaking again.
After hearing the old man say "Little Flame Realm", most of the disciples breathed a long sigh of relief and became a little excited.
"Okay, you can go back and make some preparations now, and gather here again in three days. Then we will set off with the new disciples from the other seven outer courtyards to the Little Flame Realm."
After Jiang Zhong finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to leave, and he turned around and walked toward the back of the hall.
Vice President Liang Zhange quickly followed.
"Best farewell to Master Jiang!" Seeing this, all the disciples in the hall bowed to see each other off.
The old man did not turn around, but just waved his hands to everyone, and then he and Liang Zhange gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
When everyone dispersed and left, Liu Ming immediately found Yan Ming and Xueyun.
"Senior Brother Yan, Miss Xueyun." Liu Ming stepped forward and cupped his fists with both hands.
"Brother Liu, you're welcome. I'm just a few years older, so they call me senior brother. In fact, I'm also a new outer disciple." Yan Ming hurriedly returned the greeting.
After witnessing with his own eyes the scene where Liu Ming beheaded the Tiancan boy, this slender young man who was originally proud and proud naturally no longer dared to neglect his duty towards Liu Ming.
The girl Xueyun on the side also bowed to Liu Ming.
"Brother Yan, I have never heard of this entry trial and the Little Flame Realm before. I wonder if Brother Yan can give me some advice." Liu Ming asked straight to the point.
"Brother Liu doesn't know anything about the trial and Xiao Yanjie? Oh. Recently there was a discussion in the academy about a disciple who was selected without testing and directly recommended by the Law Enforcement Hall to enter our academy. Could it be that he is Brother Liu?" Yan Ming heard this.
, I was surprised at first, and then became a little surprised.
"If Piaohongyuan does not have a second person recommended by the Law Enforcement Hall, it should be Liu." Liu Ming replied calmly after hearing this.
"If that's the case, it's not too strange that Brother Liu doesn't know about the trial. In fact, the origin of this entry trial is that it was left behind after a great disaster that the Taiqing Sect experienced more than ten thousand years ago.
A tradition whose main purpose is to test the ability of entry-level disciples to adapt to actual combat situations. Although the content of general trials is not too dangerous, there is still a risk of falling. Every time, several disciples will accidentally lose their lives during the trial and fall.
"Yes." Yan Ming immediately explained to Liu Ming.
"That's it." Liu Ming nodded thoughtfully when he heard this.
"The Little Flame Realm is a huge secret realm newly discovered by the Taiqing Sect more than a hundred years ago. It actually contains extremely rich fire energy, and some fire spirits were born. And most of the other creatures and plants are of the fire attribute.
There are indeed many spiritual materials in it that are considered extremely rare by the outside world. The previous disciples who chose this place as a place of trial have indeed received a lot of benefits from it. And those who practice fire attribute techniques, even more
It has benefited a lot. Of course, although those fire spirits are not very intelligent, they are born with amazing abilities to control flames, and their essence cores are excellent materials for weapon refining. If they can subdue one or two, they will also be of great value.
" Yanming continued with a serious expression.
When Yan Ming mentioned the word "Fire Spirit", Liu Ming's heart moved, and he couldn't help but recall the gambling battle between Wei Zhong and Jia Lan in the Valley of Fire that day. He used the so-called spirit gathering surgery to transform into a black fire.
Although Ling was still defeated in the end, the mystery of his secret technique is still fresh in his memory to this day.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yan, for telling me. By the way, I saw a tall fellow student standing behind you two today. Senior Brother Yan, do you know the origin of this person? I saw that his eyes are lavender, and he does not seem to be an ordinary human being like us." Liu
After thanking him, he suddenly remembered something and asked again.
"If it's someone else, I may not know it yet. This person and I were in the same batch of tests to become outer disciples, so I really know the details. This person's name is Zangxuan, and he is indeed not of pure human blood.
, he also has some blood of the purple-eyed alien race in his body, so not only is he extraordinary in strength, but he can also use his eyes to perform some of the mysterious skills of the purple-eyed race." After Yan Ming thought about it for a moment, he didn't mean to hide it, and replied calmly.
road.
"Foreign blood?" Liu Ming was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Senior Brother Liu, you don't need to be so surprised. Most of the so-called alien races are actually just branches of the human race. It's just that the blood in the body slowly mutates due to different regions, environments and even acquired cultivation techniques. Therefore, most of the alien races in the general population
They are also from the human race. Our Taiqing Sect and most sects on the mainland will not reject these human race disciples with partially alienated bloodlines, but will treat them equally and accept them as disciples. And some such people with special talents will not be rejected.
Disciples, because it is more suitable to practice certain exercises, they are even more valued by the sect. In addition, most of these aliens from the human race themselves are very kind to the human race, and even still regard themselves as members of the human race.
Of course, the major sects will still be very vigilant about the few real alien races such as the demon race and the spirit race that have no connection with the human race at all, and will not accept human race disciples with the blood of such alien races, or even if they make an exception, they can only accept them.
As an ordinary disciple, you will never be able to learn the true inheritance of the sect. However, those demons who were tainted by demonic energy and the demons who became demons after practicing demonic skills, even though they were originally from the human race, they are not the same as our human race.
Dai Tian's life and death enemy, any human cultivator who sees someone with demon blood will definitely kill him, and there will never be a second thought." Xueyun also quickly explained to Liu Ming in a pleasant voice.
