It seems that these two proud sons of the Ouyang family are still dissatisfied with Liu Ming's refusal to marry back then.
But now Ouyang Qian seemed to just tease her, and soon said goodbye to Ouyang Qin, which made Liu Ming feel relieved.
"Jialan..."
After the two girls left, Liu Ming walked towards the secret room, while Jialan's figure appeared in his mind.
I haven't heard any news about this girl these days. It was said before that she was going into seclusion to hit the bottleneck in the later stages of crystallization. She probably hasn't come out yet at this moment.
Liu Ming thought so, turned around and walked into the secret room.
After he sat cross-legged on the futon, he took out the jade slip of the Purdue Array, and his consciousness was quickly immersed in it.
These days, he has been studying the many changes in this magic circle and entering into the illusion to conduct simulation exercises.
One day two months later, a silver telegraph instrument came through the air and entered Liu Ming's cave, ignoring the restriction.
Under the flash of silver light, the talisman suddenly shattered, and a majestic voice immediately echoed throughout the entire cave space:
"Hurry and gather at the sect's main hall!"
Liu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up suddenly.
This voice is none other than Master Tiange.
"Master, are you taking us with you on this trip to the ruins of the upper world?" Xie'er and Fei'er hurried out of the quiet room next door after hearing the noise.
Xie'er looked at Liu Ming with clear eyes and blocked the door of the secret room with her figure, as if she would not let Liu Ming go out without taking her.
Since Liu Ming came back, he has allowed the two to practice on their own in other secret rooms.
Fei'er ran directly in front of Liu Ming, holding onto Liu Ming's clothes with a pair of pink hands, with a pitiful look on his face.
"Don't worry! There is such a great opportunity in the ruins of the upper world, how could I not take you there!" Liu Ming glared at these two living treasures in an angry and funny way.
Xie'er and Fei'er immediately let out a cheer, and with a movement of their bodies, they turned into two black lights and disappeared into the soul-nurturing bag on Liu Ming's waist.
A gentle smile flashed across Liu Ming's face, and his hand gently touched the soul-nurturing bag. The next moment, his face had returned to a cold and calm expression.
A quarter of an hour later, a black cloud fell over the main peak of Taiqingmen, and the black air dissipated, revealing Liu Ming's figure.
However, after he saw the surrounding situation clearly, his whole body was stunned and his figure stopped in mid-air.
At this moment, the bluestone square on the summit platform was crowded with people. There were actually more than a thousand people gathered, and the main hall was completely surrounded. It was even worse than it was on the eve of the departure from the Tianmen Secret Realm.
Judging by the clothes they were wearing, most of them were inner disciples from various peaks. They gathered here bustlingly, as if they were attending a market and watching the excitement.
"Look, it's Liu Ming from Luoyou Peak coming!" Soon someone noticed Liu Ming in the air and shouted loudly.
There was a loud noise from the surrounding crowd, and everyone present looked over.
Liu Ming frowned slightly, moved his figure, and flew towards the main peak hall, leaving many noisy sounds behind him.
"Haha, it turns out that Junior Brother Liu is here! I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?" At this moment, a young man in a golden robe flashed out of the hall and greeted him with a smile.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Jin!" Liu Ming's eyes moved and he flew down.
This young man in gold robe is the mysterious young man Jin Tianci who has had many interactions with him?
When his consciousness glanced slightly, a look of horror could not help but appear on his face.
At this moment, Jin Tianci's aura was grand yet restrained, and his cultivation had clearly broken through to the True Alchemy Realm!
Liu Ming has seen countless True Alchemy monks. Judging from his experience, although Jin Tianci deliberately restrained his aura, his strength is probably not inferior to any True Alchemy monks he has seen.
You must know that when this person participated in the competition in the outer courtyard, his cultivation level was only at the liquid condensation stage. In just a few decades, he actually crossed two realms. He has cultivated to such an extent.
Liu Ming always thought that his cultivation speed was already very fast, but compared with Jin Tianci, it was nothing at all.
However, in this way, it also confirmed some of his original vague guesses. He immediately raised his hand and asked:
"Brother Jin is indeed a secret disciple. Congratulations on your recovery. Could it be that senior brother is one of the true elixir cultivators on this trip?"
"Hehe, I have completely restored my previous cultivation level not long ago. The ruins of the upper world are a rare opportunity, so I asked the elders of the sect for a job as one of the two leaders of the sect." Jin Tianci.
After laughing, he replied without denying.
"If there is a senior brother leading the team, junior brother will feel more at ease." Liu Ming said with joy in his heart when he heard this.
Speaking of which, after he learned about the ruins of the upper realm, apart from going out to make preparations, he stayed in the cave. He didn't pay much attention to the final list decided by the sect. He only recently came from the underworld.
Jiulingchu learned that there should be only two true elixir cultivators this time.
Jin Tianci's strength is unpredictable, so with him as the team leader, this execution in the ruins will indeed be much safer.
"Okay, let's not stand at the door and let people look at us like monkeys. Let's quickly enter the main hall. People are almost here." Jin Tianci smiled slightly and walked towards the main hall first.
Liu Ming glanced at the square behind him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he followed him.
"Junior brother Liu, don't be surprised. It was the head who allowed these inner sect juniors to come and observe. After all, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It can also be regarded as a way of motivation." Jin Tianci seemed to see Liu Ming's eyes and smiled slightly.
said.
"That's it." After hearing this, Liu Ming's face suddenly became clear.
While the two were talking, they stepped into the hall together, and at the same time, the noise outside also disappeared.
Liu Ming glanced around and saw about ten or twenty disciples in various costumes standing sparsely in the main hall, both men and women. They were obviously the candidates to enter the ruins of the upper world this time.
Hearing the footsteps, these people all looked over.
Jin Tianci didn't care at all about everyone's gaze, and walked in slowly with an indifferent expression.
While Liu Ming walked side by side with Jin Tianci, when he glanced around, he was slightly startled. There were actually many familiar people present.
Luo Tiancheng, who was wearing a silver robe, Long Yanfei from Tianjian Peak, who was wearing a purple skirt, and Wen Seng, who had had a fierce battle with him, were also present.
As for the other inner disciples, most of them looked unfamiliar. Even if there were two who looked kind-hearted, he couldn't name them.
Sister Ouyang Qian was also standing in the main hall, but maybe because of her special status, no one spoke to her. The two of them stood in the corner of the main hall quite wisely. When they saw Liu Ming coming in, they just nodded to him slightly, and then took it back.
look.
In addition to these two sisters, there are also two or three people who do not seem to be members of the sect, judging from their aura or appearance. They are probably descendants of the same aristocratic family as the Ouyang family, or members of the Wannian sect who are attached to the Taiqing Sect.
Sent.
These people looked at Liu Ming a few more times and seemed quite interested.
Among the people present, except for Luo Tiancheng, who is in the middle stage of crystal transformation, the rest are in the late stage of crystal transformation. There are even a few who have reached the false elixir stage like Liu Ming. They are naturally the best among the inner disciples.
.
Seeing Liu Ming and Jin Tianci coming in, everyone present had different reactions.
People who did not have a good relationship with Liu Ming, such as Luo Tiancheng, Wen Shang, etc., looked a little unnatural.
Most of the other inner disciples showed kind smiles when facing Liu Ming, but naturally they were equally surprised when they looked at Jin Tianci.
"I had expected that this trip to the ruins would be carried out, and the famous Junior Brother Liu would not miss it." Long Yan Feilian walked over lightly, first gave a slight salute to Jin Tianci, and then said with a sweet smile to Liu Ming.
"Senior Sister Long is really joking. By the way, Senior Sister is now also a fake elixir monk, which is really gratifying." Liu Ming cupped his hands and replied with a smile.
"Giggles, compared with Junior Brother Liu, it's far behind! By the way, this is what your pair of cultivators asked me to pass on to you." Long Yanfei chuckled lightly, turned his eyes, and seemed to have thought of something.
He took out a light blue object and threw it to Liu Ming.
"Jialan?" Liu Ming's heart moved and he took it with one hand. At first glance, he saw that it was a rather delicate storage charm with light blue runes faintly flowing on it.
This talisman is a little warm to the touch, and there seems to be some body temperature of Long Yanfei still remaining on it, and there is a faint refreshing fragrance floating on it, but I don't know if it comes from Long Yanfei or Jialan?
Long Yanfei seemed to see something strange in Liu Ming's expression. For some reason, two rosy clouds suddenly flew up on his cheeks, but they only disappeared for a fleeting moment. Liu Ming was looking down at the storage charm in his hand, and did not notice.
Notice.
Liu Ming quickly scanned with his consciousness and discovered that there were several light blue formation flags and a formation plate, which seemed to be the equipment for setting up a small magic formation. In addition, there was a blue jade slip.
Although he didn’t know what Jialan’s purpose was in giving him this thing, he had no time to take a closer look at it at the moment. After putting away the storage talisman, Liu Ming raised his hand towards Long Yanfei and said:
"Thank you, Senior Sister Long."
"You're welcome. Speaking of which, Junior Sister Jialan is really passionate about Junior Brother Liu!" Long Yanfei waved her hand and said with a half-smile.
After the two chatted casually for a few more words, Long Yanfei wanted to salute Jin Tianci again and left with an excuse.
In the following period, many inner disciples came over and greeted him.
Liu Ming didn't pay much attention. He dealt with them one by one, looking quite calm.
"Brother Liu is really very popular among the inner sect disciples! He is indeed the number one in the inner sect!" Jin Tianci, who had already walked to other corners, suddenly spoke with profound meaning.
"Senior Brother Jin, these are just false names. My strength is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Senior Brother Jin." Liu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, and replied through the same message.
Jin Tianci groaned and was about to say something else when a loud sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and a tall man with a beard strode in through the door. (To be continued)
