Compared to the past, the aura of the big man with a sharp beard was stronger, and the vague sword intent he exuded was more terrifying. Most of the inner disciples present were also attracted by this sword intent.
Qiu Longzi seemed to be quite familiar with Jin Tianci. After the two said hello, they started talking loudly as if there were no other people around.
"Brother Liu."
At this moment, a voice came from Liu Ming's ear. It was the two sisters Ouyang Qian who came over at some point.
"You two Miss Ouyang, are you still used to living here these days?" Liu Ming turned his head and said with a smile.
"It's okay. It's not enough. There's no need for polite words. The passage will be opened in a while. I wonder what brother Liu has planned?" Ouyang Qian was about to speak, but Ouyang Qin spoke first with a spicy tone.
"I know very little about the ruins of the upper realm, so I can only adapt to circumstances when the time comes. When teleporting, you two had better not be too far away from me. If there is danger, I will find a way to protect you two." Liu
Ming had become accustomed to this woman's way of speaking, so he smiled slightly and was not angry.
"Then there's Brother Lao Liu." Ouyang Qian said slowly after hearing the words. With her two cultivations, she was almost the bottom of the group of disciples who entered the Taiqing Sect and teased them, so she only took one step at a time.
While several people were talking, Jin Tianci and Qiu Longzi walked in side by side. Both of them were cultivators of the True Alchemy Realm, and they seemed to stand out from the crowd in the main hall.
Ouyang Qian didn't seem to want to interact too much with the people in the Taiqing Sect. Seeing this, she pulled Ouyang Qin and stepped aside.
"Junior Brother Liu, it is indeed you, not bad! Not bad!" Qiu Longzi's eyes fell on Liu Ming, and after his eyes lit up, he said "not bad" twice in a row.
"Senior Brother Qiu, it's been a long time since we said goodbye." Liu Ming clasped his fists and bowed respectfully in return.
"How do you two know each other?" Jin Tianci looked at Liu Ming in surprise and asked.
"Haha! What's so strange about this? I had a relationship with Junior Brother Liu once before in the Sword Soul Palace. At that time, I felt that Junior Brother was not a simple person. Recently, Junior Brother Liu's fame has spread to the Pagoda Palace. It means that I really don't have any
You misjudged the person." Qiu Longzi still looked bold and laughed like no one else.
Liu Ming, Jin Tianci, and Qiu Longzi were undoubtedly the most conspicuous figures present. When these three people gathered together, more than 90% of the eyes in the hall were focused here.
Luo Tiancheng stood in a corner of the hall, watching Liu Ming and the two Zhendan monks having a lively conversation, and suddenly snorted coldly and turned his head.
Wen Xin's eyes flickered slightly and stayed on Liu Ming for a while, then quickly moved away.
At this moment, a huge bell suddenly rang from outside the hall. The sound was buzzing, directly piercing the eardrums, and making everyone tremble slightly at their feet.
The people present immediately stopped talking and turned to look outside the hall door.
The next moment, a middle-aged man wearing a jade crown and a yellow robe. He was an extraordinary man and walked out slowly. He was none other than Tian Ge, the head of the Taiqing Sect.
Although he had suppressed his breath to the point where it was almost undetectable, there was still an indescribable majesty that filled the entire hall.
Behind him, there was a middle-aged man in gray robe, the elder named Han.
"I've met the real master, Elder Han!" Led by Jin Tianci and Qiu Longzi, everyone present looked solemn and bowed their hands in front of them.
"Very good, everyone is here. In that case, I won't chatter about anything else. Later, the sect will officially open the passage to the ruins of the upper realm and send you into the ruins of the upper realm. Here,
Before, I have a few things to explain to you clearly." Master Tian Ge looked around and put away the smile on his face.
The disciples present looked solemn and listened quietly.
"Every thirty thousand years, the power of the interface between the human world and the ruins will be greatly weakened. Therefore, each faction has the opportunity to use the power of magic weapons to forcibly open a passage. But each weakening only lasts for one year, so you enter
After the ruins of the upper realm, you must remember the starting point where you were teleported, and you must return to the original place within a year. The sect will open the passage again to bring you back. If you cannot return on time, you will suffer the consequences.
It's clear." Master Tian Ge said calmly.
Master Tian Ge's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present very clearly, making a buzzing sound.
At this moment, everyone, including Liu Ming, was listening intently to Master Tian Ge's words, for fear of missing a word. After all, these were all related to their own wealth and life.
Seeing this, Master Tiange's face softened slightly and continued:
"Risks and opportunities always come together. The ruins of the upper world not only contain many geniuses and treasures that are not found in the human world, but are also filled with countless unknown dangers. Therefore, the sect has decided to give you some necessary things."
As he spoke, he nodded to the elder named Han beside him.
The elder named Han understood the idea, raised his sleeves and robes, and a faint aura appeared in front of him, and more than ten storage talismans suddenly appeared.
With another flick of his sleeve, all the storage talismans flew out one after another, each one flying towards a person present accurately.
As for Sister Ouyang Qian and the other three people who don't look like Taiqing Sect, they did not get the storage charm.
Although several people looked strange at this moment, they naturally couldn't say much.
Liu Ming caught a storage talisman, looked into the storage talisman with his spiritual consciousness, and found several things inside.
A map, a green bead, and a red jade bottle.
"The ruins of the upper realm are extremely vast. That map was drawn by the seniors who entered the ruins of the upper realm several times before. It can give you a rough guide. The blue beads are called "sensing beads" and can sense objects within a radius of a hundred miles.
Go to the location of the same sect. As for the earth-grade Erdan in the jade bottle, it is a top-quality healing elixir. Even if you are fatally injured, as long as you are still breathing, as long as you take this elixir in time, you can save your life.
"When everyone lowered their heads to explore, Master Tiange's voice came again, explaining the wonderful uses of the three things in the storage talisman.
Liu Ming nodded secretly after hearing this, these things are indeed necessary.
Needless to say about maps and induction beads, Liu Ming had only seen relevant records of the elixir Hua Dan in the Sutra Pavilion. It was a rumored elixir. Unexpectedly, the sect actually gave one to him. It can be said that
It's a big investment.
But it is normal to think about it. Most of the disciples present are core disciples of each peak. The death of any one is a huge irreparable loss for the entire Taiqing Sect.
"This time, the sect will charge two-thirds of what you get from the ruins of the upper world. After all, opening this passage has cost the sect a huge amount of resources. As for some of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that the sect urgently needs, the sect will
Corresponding additional compensation will also be given, so that you will not suffer any loss." Master Tian Ge said calmly.
After hearing this, the disciples below suddenly burst into excited discussion.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was not surprised at all by Master Tiange's decision. Since the Ouyang family, one of the eight great families, could not open this passage alone, we can imagine how difficult it is to open this passage. The sect extracted two-thirds of the obtained resources.
, which is quite reasonable.
You know, this kind of upper realm opportunity only opens once in 30,000 years. Even if Master Tiange says that he will take away the proceeds, there will probably be countless people who want to go in.
As for hiding privately, I'm afraid no one would do this. Zhongtian is not Yunchuan, and the Taiqing Sect is not comparable to the Barbarian Ghost Sect. I'm afraid that any Taishang Elder can use some tricks to let these people hide.
There is nothing left to hide.
"Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said. In addition, for this treasure hunting trip, the sect has arranged two true elixir realm esoteric brothers as your team leaders. In the ruins of the upper realm, you must obey them in everything.
Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be severely punished after returning to the sect!" Master Tian Ge said this, his voice sank, and a majestic spiritual pressure came out of his body.
"Disciples will obey the teachings of the master!" The hearts of those present suddenly sank, as if a huge stone had been pressed down on them, and they respectfully agreed with slightly changed expressions.
When Master Tian Ge saw this, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes fell on Jin Tianci and Qiu Longzi.
Qiu Longzi, a rugged man, did not dare to break the rules in front of Master Tiange, and immediately bowed his fist to him respectfully.
Jin Tianci on the side was still smiling and playful, and pretended to hold his hands in front of him.
"Okay, you all come with me." Master Tiange glanced at Jin Tianci angrily and walked towards the entrance of a side hall first. Elder Han followed behind without saying a word.
Qiu Longzi glanced at Jin Tianci, and then the two of them walked forward at the same time.
Seeing this, everyone present followed the two men and walked in.
After passing through a small side hall, a group of more than 20 people continued to follow Master Tiange in front of them towards a secret room.
There was a passage in the secret room that seemed to spiral into the depths of the underground. The group of people walked down the stone steps in silence, the sounds of chaotic footsteps echoing endlessly.
Every half circle in the passage is inlaid with a piece of white moonstone, which reflects the figures in the entire passage. Since the situation in front cannot be seen clearly, it adds a bit of mystery to the place.
After walking like this for about a meal, Liu Ming felt his eyes light up. A very spacious underground hall suddenly appeared in front of him. At a glance, it was more than a hundred feet long and wide, and more than ten feet high.
.
In the center of the hall is an extremely complex giant magic circle of more than ten feet in size, with mysterious runes of different colors densely engraved on it.
Four blue dragon-coiled stone pillars stood impressively around the formation. Countless formation runes were also engraved on the stone pillars, faintly echoing the formation on the ground.
At this moment, two of the four blue stone pillars already had a calm old man sitting cross-legged on each of them. He was concentrating with his eyes closed and showed no reaction to the arrival of the disciples.
When Liu Ming saw this, his heart moved. These two people were obviously two Supreme Elders who had reached the Heavenly Phantasm Realm.
(Haha, the second update is finally done.) (To be continued)
