Here, there are more than ten ebony shelves, all of which are covered with pieces of jade slips, exuding a dazzling brilliance of various colors, while the only few people in the room are scattered around each wooden shelf, concentrating on Looking at the jade slips.
When Liu Ming glanced over, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Next to the third ebony shelf from the bottom on the left, a graceful and beautiful woman wearing a blue dress is holding a silvery jade slip placed on her forehead. It is Jialan.
Just when Liu Ming was hesitating, the woman suddenly turned her head and looked over. With a hint of surprise on her face, she turned her beautiful eyes down, put the jade slip back on the wooden frame, and looked straight towards Liu Ming. Ming came over.
"It turns out to be Brother Liu. We haven't seen each other in these years. I didn't expect to meet here this time." Before Liu Ming could speak, Jialan said with a soft smile.
"It's been a long time indeed." Liu Ming looked at Jialan, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he replied slowly.
"It's really gratifying to hear that Fellow Daoist Liu won the first place in the outer courtyard competition, defeating the other disciples. I knew that with Brother Liu's strength, it would be a matter of time for him to become famous in the outer courtyard." Jialan suddenly said As if he thought of something, he said with a smile.
Obviously, although he is in the inner sect, he is also quite familiar with sect events such as the outer sect competition.
"Junior Sister Jialan, that's a prize. I was just lucky enough to win one and a half moves. But your cultivation level seems to have improved a lot." Liu Ming glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness and found that this woman's cultivation level was vaguely close to that of Ning Ning. The late-stage Dzogchen of Liquid, who looked a bit taller than himself, immediately said with a wry smile.
You must know that when she was gambling and fighting in the Valley of Fire in the South China Sea, this woman was only in the middle stage of liquid condensation.
However, he only achieved his current level of cultivation by taking a large amount of condensed pills. In comparison, the inner sect's cultivation resources are really amazing.
"Brother Liu is here to read the inner sect's Kung Fu books this time. I heard that he came first in the competition, but he can read one for free." Jia Lan smiled slightly when he heard this, but didn't say much about his cultivation. , but said with a change of subject.
"Junior Sister Jialan, isn't it the same?" Liu Ming touched his nose and said noncommittally.
"I have worked hard to accumulate the contribution points within the sect for two years, which is enough to refer to a book of exercises that can help to achieve the realm of crystallization." Jialan's beautiful eyes flashed with a burst of crystal light, and she fainted. A smile.
"It turns out that junior sister is about to reach the realm of crystalization. This is really a gratifying thing." Liu Ming was really surprised when he heard the word "crystalization"...
"It can't be that fast. However, the technique taught by my master is very suitable for my spiritual body, so I have made rapid progress all the way to the crystallization. It is estimated that I will be able to break through the crystallization bottleneck within ten years." Jialan said. He didn't mean to hide anything, he spoke frankly.
Liu Ming sighed again, as for him, the matter of breaking through the crystallization was still quite far away.
After the two sighed with each other for a few more words, they went to read the classics separately.
After Liu Ming said goodbye to Jialan, he went straight to the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion and began to carefully select each book.
About two hours later, Liu Ming finally found a copy of the unpopular secret body technique "Three-Point Shadow Technique" on the fourth floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
After facing Lan Xi and the Siren Emperor in the fantasy world for repeated trials and competitions, as well as the various situations encountered in the competition, Liu Ming realized more clearly that in addition to spiritual weapon skills, body skills are important in the battle. Irreplaceable importance.
Once this technique is practiced, it will be blessed on oneself, making the body's progress and retreat blurry. And as the level of the technique increases, it can also transform into a realistic afterimage to move with it.
According to the records in the jade talisman of the "Three-Point Misty Shadow Technique", this skill is divided into four levels. The first level can only transform into a hazy afterimage, and then each level can transform into an afterimage. The highest level After completion, up to three afterimages can be transformed.
When used in close combat, unless the person has special spiritual eyes and magical powers or has a cultivation level much higher than that of casting spells, it is impossible to identify the true location. It can be said to be extremely practical against enemies in close combat.
While Liu Ming was thinking about it, he scanned his consciousness again and found that this skill requires 250,000 contribution points. Although it is compared with the spiritual skill "Cangming Heart Sutra" that he saw before, which requires 500,000 contribution points, so The contribution points required are only half of that. But among the many secret arts, it still consumes more contribution points.
After thinking about it for a moment, he took out the green jade talisman from the Sumeru Ring, struck a magic spell into it, and gently swung it on the purple jade slip of the "Three-Minute Shadow Technique".
A layer of purple fluctuations appeared on the jade slip, and then countless purple words swarmed out and crazily sank into the green jade talisman.
A burst of brilliance circulated on the surface of the green jade talisman, and the entire body suddenly turned lavender.
Liu Mingqi put it on his forehead and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. After confirming that the skills were correct, he went downstairs with satisfaction and went straight out of the Sutra Pavilion. He drove away the clouds and fled back to the cave.
He then entered the secret room and practiced his new magical powers.
In the period since then, apart from Long Yanfei visiting the house several times, insinuating some insinuations about the matter with the Spirit of the Sword Embryo, and leaving again without any results, only Yan Ming and Xueyun came to visit once.
In addition to continuing to take Leng Ning Dan and enter the illusion to practice, Liu Ming spent the rest of his time in seclusion practicing the "Three-Point Shadow Technique".
As a result, Liu Ming stayed in seclusion for two years. During this period, except for a trip to Zongneifang City to purchase a batch of alchemy materials, Liu Ming never left the cave again.
Two years later, he finally mastered the first level of this secret technique.
On this day, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged in the secret room of the cave, placing a purple jade talisman on his forehead, concentrating on understanding the second level of the secret technique.
At this moment, three rays of light flashed from the horizon in the distance and landed at the entrance of his cave.
Liu Ming raised his brows and sensed three faint spiritual pressures coming from the entrance of the cave. One of them was very familiar, and the other two also vaguely looked like they had cultivated in the crystallization stage.
"I wonder if Junior Brother Liu is in the cave?"
Just when Liu Ming was thinking about the intention of this son's coming, Sha Tongtian's faint voice came to his ears.
With a thought in his mind, he immediately put away the purple jade talisman, stood up, left the secret room, and walked out of the cave.
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Sha. I wonder what you are here for?" Liu Ming said calmly. At the same time, he glanced at the other two people and saw that they were all dressed like inner disciples, standing in front of Sha Tongtian. The person behind him did not speak, presumably he was the disciple who was at Tianjian Peak with Sha Tongtian.
"Sha came here this time just to compete with Junior Brother Liu to determine the winner. Soon he will hit the bottleneck of the crystallization realm. In the future, he may not have the chance to understand this wish again. Jin Yuhuan and Sha will always remember the grievances and grudges that happened in the Blue Dome Fantasy Palace that day." Sha Tongtian said calmly.
When Liu Ming heard this, he didn't look too surprised. Although his intention was not to do anything at this time, but since the other party came to the door aggressively, he naturally wouldn't avoid anything. He immediately narrowed his eyes and said very simply
agreed:
"Since Senior Brother Sha is willing to teach me, Liu will naturally not be able to refuse, so he will discuss things with Brother Sha."
"That's very good." Hearing this, Sha Tongtian exclaimed.
Then, without saying much, several people turned into escaping lights and shot through the air in the direction of the arena in the outer courtyard.
About half a quarter of an hour later, in the outer courtyard arena, a ring that was dozens of feet in size was densely surrounded by what looked like three to four hundred people, and from time to time, disciples in twos and threes came flying in from the clouds.
Judging from their attire, most of them are outer disciples, and there are also a few ordinary disciples. They don’t know where they got the news, but they all gathered here, wanting to see Liu Ming, who ranked first in the outer courtyard competition, and Tianjian Peak.
The competition between disciple Sha Tongtian.
This competition even alarmed Liang Zhange. Out of interest, he actually hosted the competition himself.
When the light curtain around the arena rose up, Liang Zhange immediately announced something in the sky and flew out of the light curtain in a flash.
Without saying a word, Sha Tongtian patted the white leather bag on his waist, and with a "swish" sound, a blue light flashed, and a flying sword as clear as water flew out from the leather bag, and after circling in the void, it quickly
It rotated and emitted clearly visible blue sword energy.
Liu Ming also flicked his sleeves, and a small gray sword shot out. He was grabbed, and when his sleeves bulged, mana poured in. Immediately, a few feet long gray sword light rolled out, and spread out in a flash.
A dazzling crystal light shines out.
Seeing this, Sha Tongtian's eyes turned cold and he shouted lowly. His figure suddenly rose into the air in a blur, turning into a green sword light about seven to eight feet in size, and shot towards Liu Ming. The momentum was extremely shocking, compared to
At that time, he looked even sharper in the Blue Dome Fantasy Palace.
However, Liu Ming just flicked his wrist in a leisurely manner, and the small gray sword in his hand suddenly came out with a low cry, and turned into a gray sword light to meet him.
There was a loud "boom"!
After the two sword lights of green and gray collided suddenly, they were locked in a stalemate in the void.
Sha Tongtian suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
You must know that he has devoted himself to practicing swordsmanship in seclusion for the past two years. Not only has his cultivation reached the Great Perfection of the late stage of liquid condensation, his swordsmanship is also far from what it was two years ago.
As soon as he came up and used the sword-controlling technique, he wanted to take the lead, but Fang Fang only used a sword-controlling technique in an understatement, and he was able to resist it easily.
With a "bang" sound, the blue and gray sword lights flashed, and the two sword lights instantly shot out to both sides.
The green sword light converged, revealing Sha Tongtian's figure again.
His face was gloomy, and he made a sword gesture with both hands. The small green sword suspended in front of him trembled slightly in the air, then turned into a dense sword shadow and shot towards Liu Ming.
