When Liu Ming heard this, he was naturally startled. He pushed the door open and walked out of the house with a promise, and came to the small courtyard.
At a glance, he saw Ishikawa standing outside the courtyard gate and the red-haired boy "Yu Cheng" next to him.
When Yu Cheng saw Liu Ming coming out, his eyes looked a little complicated.
"Senior Brother Shi, are Master Gui looking for me?" Liu Ming asked after walking over.
"Not only Master Kei, Master Uncle Zhu and Master Zhong are also waiting for you and Junior Brother Yu in the hall on the top of the mountain. Hey... Junior Brother Bai, you have advanced to the middle stage of spiritual apprenticeship!" Ishikawa said with a smile, but then looked at Liu Ming carefully.
Then, his expression suddenly changed and he asked.
At this time, Liu Ming, because he had just advanced and was still unable to control his magic power, was spotted by "Senior Brother Shi" at a glance.
"Senior brother, you really have a keen eye, and I have indeed just advanced to the middle stage of spiritual disciple a few days ago." Liu Ming did not mean to hide it, and admitted it calmly.
When Ishikawa heard this, even though he had always behaved extremely calmly, he couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief.
As for Yu Cheng next to him, he was a little stunned when he heard these words.
"It turns out that junior brother is actually a genius in cultivation. He can reach the middle stage of spiritual discipleship in just one year. This speed of cultivation is probably not inferior to that of junior brother Xiao Feng." It took a while for Ishikawa to calm down the shock on his face.
He said with a bit of a wry smile.
"My little brother is not a genius in cultivation. He only managed to advance to the middle stage of spiritual apprenticeship so quickly with the help of some external forces." Liu Ming replied calmly.
"Junior Brother Bai is too humble. Even if Junior Brother really takes some elixir that can increase mana, the middle and early stages of a spiritual disciple are completely different. In the early stage of a spiritual disciple, as long as the mana is enough, anyone can enter easily, but from the middle stage,
There will be a bottleneck. As far as I know, many disciples of the Three Spiritual Meridians are stuck in the early stage of spiritual disciples and have been unable to make progress for many years. But Junior Brother Bai, it is not wise to rely on the power of elixirs to increase mana now.
To do things, your magic power still needs to be refined through a little bit of practice, and there will be less resistance when you encounter bottlenecks in the future." After hearing Liu Ming's words, Ishikawa showed a bit of surprise, but shook his head,
He said it very meaningfully.
When Yu Cheng heard this, his face suddenly showed an expression of "I see."
Ishikawa obviously increased Liu Ming's cultivation so quickly, and suddenly thought of some pills that could increase his mana.
In the Barbarian Ghost Sect, there are indeed several pills that can increase mana, but they only have a certain effect on spiritual disciples, and the contribution points that need to be exchanged are really amazing. In general, few inner disciples are willing to exchange them.
of.
After all, for most disciples, as long as they do not encounter bottlenecks during the spiritual apprenticeship period, as long as they spend a certain amount of time practicing, their mana will gradually increase. And if they encounter a bottleneck, taking this kind of mana-increasing elixir will naturally increase their physical strength.
Baozi beating a dog has no effect at all. In this case, the contribution points within the sect are so precious, so naturally most of them should be reserved for other uses.
Of course, the magic power increased by relying on elixirs is indeed, as Ishikawa said, far inferior to the purity achieved by one's own cultivation.
The magic power transformed into the flesh and blood of the giant rats that Liu Ming had eaten at the beginning did not have this drawback.
After all, the magic power in these flesh and blood is also cultivated by these monsters themselves, and the magic power that can remain in the body after death is the essence of the magic power of the monster beast.
However, it is even more unreliable to rely solely on the flesh and blood of monsters to increase mana than relying on elixirs to increase mana.
After all, only by consuming the flesh and blood of demonic beasts that are higher than one's own realm can one have the effect of increasing mana. But if one really has to face such a powerful demonic beast, it's not easy to say who will eat whom. And eating too much demonic beast flesh and blood
, there are also other consequences.
Moreover, even if someone is really willing to give it a try, the monsters in Daxuan Kingdom are very rare, and the high-level monsters at the spiritual master level are even rarer.
Liu Ming naturally knew all this by reading some classics, but when he saw that Ishikawa and I misunderstood him, he immediately smiled and would not say anything more to explain.
Although all the flesh and blood of the green-haired giant rat has been consumed, and there is nothing that can be done if the rest of the sect finds out, it is better to do more than to do less.
"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind. By the way, I wonder why Master Gui summoned me and junior brother Yu. Can you tell me something?" Liu Ming answered vaguely and asked curiously.
"I really don't know much about this. I only know that it has something to do with Jiuqiao Mountain, and besides you two, Junior Brother Xiao Feng was also called over." Ishikawa replied hesitantly.
"Jiuqiao Mountain?" Liu Ming was greatly surprised when he heard this.
Jiuqiao Mountain is one of the five major sects of Daxuan Kingdom, and it is still above the Barbarian Ghost Sect in terms of strength ranking. Apart from knowing that this sect seems to be very good at the puppet mechanism technique, he doesn't know anything else.
Liu Ming was still a little surprised in his heart, so the three of them took to the sky and headed straight to the top of the mountain.
After a while, Liu Ming, Yu Cheng, and Xiao Feng all appeared in the main hall.
Not far in front of them, Gui Ruquan and three other spiritual masters were sitting on chairs.
However, the Confucian scholar looked at Liu Ming, who had unexpectedly become a mid-term disciple, and frowned. After a while, he shook his head and said:
"You actually rely on the power of elixirs to shorten the training time, which makes me a little disappointed. But this is an unexpected surprise for what I am about to tell you. So I won't say anything more to you. Zhu
Junior brother, tell all three of them about this."
At this time, Sister Zhong looked at Liu Ming with a look of disappointment.
Among the three spiritual masters in Jiuying Mountain, this is the only one who thinks highly of Liu Ming. After mistakenly thinking that he had taken pills to advance to the middle stage of spiritual disciple so quickly, she naturally felt a little jealous.
steel feel
"The reason why I called you three here this time is because we had an agreement with our two Taoist friends, Dashang Dazhi of Jiuqiao Sect..." After hearing the words of the Confucian scholar, Zhu Chi started to talk slowly.
It turns out that seven or eight years ago, Taoist nun surnamed Zhu Chizhong was invited by two spiritual masters from the Jiuqiao Sect to go to a dangerous place to explore the secrets. As a result, she found a fruit tree full of unknown spiritual fruits. But these spiritual fruits
It had just grown not long ago and was still early to mature. So they agreed with each other that once they matured, they would come and share the spiritual fruits on the tree equally. But a few days ago, they received a fruit from a disciple of the Jiuqiao Sect.
The letter said that the ownership of these spiritual fruits that were about to mature would be decided through a battle between new disciples.
After the Confucian scholar surnamed Gui and others bargained with each other, they finally decided to compete in three games.
Liu Ming and the other three were the disciples selected by the Confucian scholars and others to take to the fight.
"Although this kind of competition is not a life-and-death contest, since it involves spiritual beings, they will not easily stop fighting, so there is also a certain degree of worry about their lives. If any of you are unwilling to participate, you can raise it now, and we will
The three of you will not force it. In addition, since you are asked to contribute, there will naturally be benefits for you. After we carefully checked those spiritual fruits in the classics later, we found that they were the rumored Tianqiong Fruit. Use this fruit
It is a kind of spiritual liquid that is refined into the main medicine. It is very useful for low-level practitioners. When applied on the body, it has an amazing effect of washing marrow and cutting hair. If you participate in the competition, as long as you can win the spiritual fruit and come back, you will all have this effect.
Of course the winning disciple will be rewarded with spiritual liquid, and the share of the reward will naturally be greater." Zhu Chi said in the end.
"Disciple is willing to participate in this fight!" Xiao Feng said without hesitation as soon as Zhu Chi finished speaking.
He has just advanced to the middle stage of spiritual disciple, and he is already confident in his own strength, and his confidence will never be inferior to that of any disciple at the same time.
"Disciples are also willing to contribute to our lineage!" Yu Cheng also looked eager to give it a try.
Liu Ming would not even say "unwilling". After thinking about it for a while, he also expressed his willingness to participate.
"Very good, you are the three most outstanding among the new disciples. But the disciples sent by Jiuqiao Mountain are certainly not simple. So for the next month, you will stay on the top of the mountain temporarily to familiarize yourself with the method of fighting the puppet technique.
The three of us will personally give you some pointers, so your chances of winning can be increased by one or two points." Seeing this, Gui Ruquan said with great satisfaction.
When Liu Ming and others heard this, they naturally nodded in agreement.
So for the next month, Liu Ming and the others stayed in a training ground on the top of the mountain, doing actual combat with some low-level puppets every day.
Although the three of them, Gui Ruquan, have not studied the puppet technique too deeply, there is no problem in manipulating some low-level puppets and imitating some conventional attacks in the puppet technique.
The different attack methods of various low-level puppets, as well as the various attack methods of puppet masters, opened the eyes of Liu Ming and the three of them.
Of course, in this kind of practice, Liu Ming would not use all his methods, but his performance would be average among the three of them. This would not make Gui Ruquan and the others pay special attention, but it would not make them really disappointed either.
.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Liu Ming, the three of them, Confucian scholars and others all came to the square.
After Zhu Chi said a few words of farewell to the Confucian scholar, he took out a light yellow talisman from his body, pinched it with one hand and threw it in front of him.
After a burst of white air, a green wooden boat seven to eight feet long was immediately revealed in front of everyone.
This boat is long and narrow and green in color, with some strange light silver patterns imprinted on the inside and outside of the boat, giving it an unusually mysterious feeling.
"Haha, if Junior Brother Zhu is on the way in this Jade Spirit Flying Boat, this trip won't waste too much time." Gui Ruquan said, twirling his beard as soon as he saw the green wooden boat.
"Yes, if Senior Brother Zhu hadn't accidentally discovered a thousand-year-old jade tree and spent so much money to ask Master Yu to spend three years to refine it, how could he have obtained this flying spiritual weapon.
If you have this spiritual weapon with you, as long as you don't encounter a few powerful enemies who are proficient in escape techniques, even if you cannot escape, it will be more than enough." Taoist nun surnamed Zhong also said with a smile.
