Liu Ming slightly rested at his residence for two days before leaving the courtyard where he lived again.
After this period of seclusion, he had very few alchemy materials left except Five Light Liquid and other auxiliary materials, and he urgently needed to add some.
Half an hour later, outside Miaogufang City, a black cloud flew away.
Over the years, Liu Ming went out several times to sell Yunling Pills, although he only found small merchants, and sometimes even traded directly with some outside crystal-forming monks.
Although he had been very cautious, over time, he still attracted the attention of some forces.
Therefore, he tried not to appear in the same place multiple times, and the place he chose to sell elixirs was also deliberately chosen as far away as possible.
A month later, in a small city more than 10,000 miles west of the Zhulong Mountains, in a private room on the second floor of a two-story grocery store, Liu Ming disguised himself as a middle-aged man with a sick face, and a charred-faced man.
The old men sat opposite each other.
The first floor of the grocery store was very noisy with people coming and going, but in the private room, it was relatively quiet.
The old man reached out and took a square jade box from Liu Ming's hand, and carefully opened the lid.
But in the jade box, there were crystal clear pills neatly arranged.
Seeing this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his old, withered face. He quickly examined it carefully, and after a moment he closed the lid with a "snap" sound.
"Your Excellency, the quality of this spiritual elixir is of good quality. I won't say anything more. Here are thirty-two elixirs at a fixed price of thirteen million spiritual stones."
Liu Ming was silent for a while after hearing this. All the pills he took out this time were ordinary pills. The price was quite reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.
"Fellow Taoist is indeed a cheerful person." The black-faced old man chuckled and immediately took out a storage charm filled with spiritual stones from his waist and handed it to Liu Ming.
After the check was correct, Liu Ming immediately stood up with his hands in hand, turned around and walked outside.
"If fellow Taoist still has this elixir, you can consider selling it to our store first, and the price can be negotiated later." The urgent voice of the black-faced old man came from behind.
"I'll think about it later," Liu Ming said casually, then walked downstairs and blended into the crowd of people in the city.
After Liu Ming left, the anxious expression on the dark-faced old man's face slowly faded away, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned over his hand and put away the jade box, and walked quickly into the back room of the shop.
At the same time, two men in black appeared out of nowhere, quickly chasing into the crowd outside Fangshi, and followed Liu Ming from a distance.
But the black-faced old man walked out of the back door of the grocery store, and not long after, he came to an inconspicuous bluestone building in the market.
"What? Have you found the mysterious man who sells the Spirit-Abundant Pill?" A somewhat old voice came from a room.
The speaker was a fat man with a swollen body and only a few long hairs on his head. He was leaning back on a large chair, with a pair of goldfish eyes flashing a terrifying light.
In front of him, Li Pan stood there in a blue robe.
The fat old man held a jade box in his hand, from which he pinched a spirit-accumulating pill.
"Sure enough, it is a very high-quality elixir. Although it is not of high quality, it will be of great benefit to monks in the late stage of crystallization. It is worth my efforts to search for several years." The fat old man sneered.
The dark-faced old man stood aside with a hunched body and a respectful expression, but did not speak.
"Father, a few years ago I sent a message to you that a master of alchemy was suspected to have appeared in the city near you. Should these elixirs be made by the same person?" Li Pan
"Eighty percent of it is like this. Alchemy masters are such rare people, there won't be two of them suddenly." The fat old man put the elixir back into the jade box with satisfaction and waved his hand to put it away.
"So, the person who killed Black Five back then might be someone related to this alchemy master." Li Pan said with a cold look.
Liu Ming bought Wuguang Liquid at the auction in a big way, and the Spirit-enhancing Pill that appears now is based on this material. The two can easily be associated with each other.
"I remember you mentioned this to me once, don't worry, wait until you catch that person, everything will be clear." The fat old man said and stood up slowly.
"Have you arranged for someone to follow you?" The fat old man stretched his muscles and turned his head and asked.
"Yes, old master, it's Heijiu and Heishi." The black-faced old man replied hurriedly.
"Well, the two of them are proficient in the art of tracking, and that person can't run away." The fat old man nodded with satisfaction, flicked his sleeves, and green light rolled out, covering him and Li Pan.
In a flash, it disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, in an unnamed mountain range hundreds of miles away from Fang City, two men in black were walking through a dark forest like ghosts.
"Damn it, where did that man go? Old Shi, think of a way." One of the sturdy men in black said anxiously.
Another thin man in black stood aside, silent, holding a green jade plate in his hand, with tortoise-shell-like lines on it, and shallow light rippling around like waves.
The two of them were the Black Nine and Black Twelve who followed Liu Ming from a distance by relying on extremely secretive tracking techniques since Liu Ming left Fangshi.
But he never thought that as soon as Liu Mingfang flew here, he hid in the dense mountain forest and disappeared.
"No, there is no trace of that person." "Hei Shi", a thin man in black, stopped casting spells and shook his head.
"Even the 'Turtle Mirror' doesn't work, so what should we do? In this huge mountain forest, if that person escapes from the ground, we can't find him. If he escapes, the old master will never spare you and me."
Hei Jiu had a look of fear on his face.
"It is impossible to hide the art of escaping from the turtle mirror. That person must still be nearby." Hei Shi heard this, and there was a trace of fear on his face.
"Tell me, is it possible that the person we are following is not a monk in the Crystal Transformation stage at all? Your turtle mirror claims to be able to hide the consciousness of all Crystal Transformation monks. Since that person was able to discover us, he is now hiding quietly.
Get up, could it be..." Hei Jiu lowered his head slightly, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and whispered.
"Impossible. If that person was a master of the True Alchemy Realm, he would not act so cautiously. Moreover, he could kill us casually. There is no need to hide." Hei Shi's face changed, his throat rolled, and he said in a harsh voice.
"Half of your guesses are right and half of them are wrong. I can indeed kill you at any time, but I want to know your origins more, so I have waited until now." At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
came.
Black Nine and Black Ten were frightened, and turned around like lightning. A figure appeared behind them at some point. Through the sunlight that filtered in from the dense forest leaves, judging from the vague appearance, it was the figure they were following earlier.
The goal.
"It's you..." Hei Jiu's expression suddenly changed, and his figure shot out.
Liu Ming snorted coldly, opened his arms, and overwhelming black energy surged out from his body in an instant, and a thick black light shrouded Hei Jiu and the others in it.
It is the magical power of "Hell".
After advancing to the middle stage of Crystal Transformation, Liu Ming used the Dragon-Tiger Underworld Skill to display various magical powers, and his power was naturally greatly improved.
Hei Jiu Hei Ten felt his eyes go dark, and was pulled into a dark space. There was only billowing black mist in front of his eyes. His companion who was beside him just now also disappeared, and his spiritual consciousness could not detect it.
A stern look appeared on Heijiu's face, a black light flashed in his hand, and a long black knife suddenly appeared.
The black energy in front of him suddenly rolled, and two vague ghost figures appeared, waving their sharp claws and rushing towards Heijiu.
Heijiu let out a long roar, moved his arm, and a jet-black sword light about ten feet long flew out around him, easily cutting the two ghosts into two pieces at the waist, and then dispersed into two masses of black energy.
When he saw this, he immediately became convinced and shouted loudly:
"Old Ten, there is no need to panic. This place is just an illusion. Although it can blind the consciousness, it does not have much lethality."
"Having said that, this illusion seems to have a great influence on the spiritual consciousness..." Hei Shi was actually not far away from Hei Jiu. He didn't know when a silver long sword appeared in his hand. With one roll, he easily killed him.
He jumped towards a ghost figure in front of him and replied hurriedly.
"No, Old Ten, be careful!" Hei Shi didn't finish his words, but was interrupted by Hei Jiu's exclamation.
Sooner or later, a faint golden light appeared silently behind Hei Shi. By the time the group of brawlers heard this and were startled, it was obviously too late.
There was an inaudible sound of "whoosh"!
The golden light suddenly turned into an icy cold light, which silently and strangely circled Hei Shi's neck. His head rolled down like a bone, and the headless body fell straight down...
When the black light dispersed again, Hei Jiu held a black Miao knife tightly in his hand, but he stood motionless, with large beads of sweat on his forehead.
Less than half an inch between his eyebrows, a faint golden sword was floating there out of thin air. The sharp tip of the sword was trembling slightly, as if it might be shot out at any time.
"Tell me, who are you, and who is the old master you are talking about?" Not far away from Heijiu, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe with a sick face was standing with his hands clasped, and asked lightly.
Although Hei Jiu was extremely shocked, after hearing this question, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, a cold and stern voice came from the sky:
"Junior, you don't know anything, why don't you just ask me directly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a green meteor-like escaping light came from high in the sky. After a tiger roar, it landed on the ground nearby.
Under the dimming of the green light, the figures of Li Pan and a fat old man were suddenly revealed.
Liu Ming's eyes swept over Li Pan, then landed on the fat old man, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
