"It turns out that this is the magic trick! I said that when I practiced the wind blade technique that day, my heart suddenly became clear, not only the release speed increased greatly, but the power also increased by three points. However, this kind of magic practice is completely based on hard practice time and time again. , Can practice make perfect body. And since there is a small achievement, then there should be a great achievement. On this, I am afraid that the disciple of the Jiu Lingmai is about the same as the disciple of the Three Lingmai, and cannot have much advantage. It is me. The one-hearted two-use talent can be used to practice spells in turn, and it is a big advantage to use it." Liu Ming said to himself, with a hint of doubt on his face and a hint of excitement.

Among so many old disciples today, although there are some who have practiced spells to the small-level realm, they never exceed the number of ten fingers, and most of them are the simplest spells such as wind blade fire bombs.

Slightly higher-level Ice Cone, Flame Snake and other spells have not seen anyone who has cultivated to the Xiaocheng realm.

It's not surprising to think about it!

Most high-level spells are complex to cast, and require much higher mana than low-level spells. Naturally, it is twice as difficult to practice.

Of course the most important thing is that most of the disciples spend their time cultivating their own techniques and mana, and few people pay too much attention to the practice of the magic itself.

After all, only when the realm of cultivation is advanced, is it the foundation of everything, and it is possible to become a spiritual master like a Confucian student, so that the longevity will be greatly increased, and there will be more possibilities.

As for Liu Ming, if he didn't have the talent for one mind and two purposes, he would probably make the same choice. But now that he knows that his talent can take advantage of this, he who is dedicated to chasing his own strength naturally has some other biased choices.

It's hard to say that the high-level spells are too complex, but at least the simple spells like Wind Blade, he plans to take more time to practice in the future to see if he can gain anything else.

After Liu Ming stood in the small courtyard and pondered for a while, he finally entered the training room and sat down cross-legged.

He hesitated for a moment, took out a newly obtained meditation incense from his sleeve, lit it with a swipe of his finger, and inserted it nearby.

As a wisp of green smoke emerged, a strange aroma immediately filled the whole room.

After Liu Ming took a deep breath, he closed his eyes and settled down.

At this moment, rows of gray words and formulas suddenly appeared in his mind, which was the practice method of "refining the soul".

It turned out that the Fajue Paper Scroll had long been returned to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion by him, but the record on it has long since imprinted the word in his mind.

He had hurriedly enlightened a little bit before, but after seeing only the initial cultivation conditions of the spiritual disciple, he immediately gave up and didn't study it any further.

Now with the aid of Jingxinxiang, he intends to fully comprehend this secret technique in one effort.

As time passed, Liu Ming stayed in the house for five days and five nights without going out.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, he finally opened his eyes with a move of his eyelids, but his face was full of fatigue.

"It turns out that if you want to cultivate this soul-refining cable, you must use living ghosts on the spot to make it possible. If I remember correctly, there is a'soul pool' in the sect that specializes in cultivating ghosts. As long as you pay a certain amount of contribution points, You can go in for a certain period of time to catch the ghosts. In addition, there is also a "gray market" in the clan, where disciples in the sect trade and buy various things on their own. Maybe someone sells the ghosts. Now there is no situation in which there is a contribution point on the body. , It’s natural to choose the latter way."

After Liu Ming quickly thought about it, he made a decision, but before that, he naturally needed a good sleep and rest.

Early the next morning, Liu Ming hurriedly drove the cloud away from the residence.

He followed the map marked by Li Zong last time and flew straight to another place.

On the edge of the mountain range where the Barbarian Ghost Sect was, a small bamboo forest was inconspicuous, right between the two peaks.

From time to time, some inner sect disciples flew up and down in a large open space in the center of the bamboo forest.

As soon as Liu Ming urged the gray cloud under him to also fall in the bamboo forest, he immediately looked around with curious eyes.

Around this clearing area, there were many simple stalls of endless sizes. Behind them was a disciple of the Savage Ghost Sect. Most of them were inner disciples, but some were only dressed in outer disciples' costumes.

Some people even walked to these stalls or picked up one or two things to have a look at, or bargained directly with the owner behind the stall, giving Liu Ming the illusion of returning to a secular market.

After Liu Ming settled down, he walked slowly past the stalls like everyone else, and occasionally picked up something to check it out.

The stalls displayed everything from pill talisman to material talisman.

But there are more weird things that he has never heard before, such as "blood corpse bee sting", "corpse eagle feather feather", "hundred-year fish fairy blood" and so on.

As for the ghost he was looking for, as a common material, he saw it on sale at several stalls, but after asking the price, he was speechless.

A low-quality ghost requires ten Lingshi, and a normal one requires 30 Lingshi. As for high-quality and above, there is no sale at all. On the contrary, some vendors have expressed their willingness to purchase such ghosts with more than one Bailingshi.

Although Liu Ming was shy in his pocket, he finally took the opportunity to see what the so-called "ghost" looks like, and heard some related things.

Most of these ghosts are contained in a porcelain bottle sealed with a special talisman. Once the bottle cap is opened, it will turn into a black gas and burst out of it, and can transform into various forms of smoke such as tiger and leopard grimace.

In addition to the icy cold of the ghost, the ghost's attack methods can also perform some simple illusions, which can directly affect people's minds at close range.

In general, the silver wedding is not actually a real ghost, but a kind of thing born from Yin Qi without any active consciousness of its own. It is an attack, which is often a passive and subconscious reaction.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to catch a ghost below the normal quality.

But if it were replaced with a high-quality ghost, the situation would be very different.

First of all, this kind of quality ghost is extremely rare. Only one can be born out of a hundred, and most of them are lurking in places with heavy yin. They don't like to float, so it is extremely difficult to find.

Secondly, in addition to the above two attack methods, high-quality ghosts also have the ability to split and escape at times of crisis, making it more difficult to catch them alive.

Legend has it that there is the existence of the best ghost, but this is just a rumor, no one has seen it with his own eyes.

Of course, these ghosts were all captured by the inner disciples from the soul pond at such a high price.

Liu Mingdong asked about it, and asked about it from the west. After a while, he was almost able to inquire about the above things. The last time he gritted his teeth, he still spent ten spiritual stones to buy a low-quality ghost. Don't go back and try it.

As soon as he bought the things, when Liu Ming was about to drive away in the clouds, he was suddenly stopped by a sweet woman's voice from behind.

"Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Bai!"

As soon as Liu Ming heard this, he was naturally taken aback, turned around and took a look, only to see a man and a woman walking behind him at some unknown time.

The man was a twenty-two-looking young man in a blue robe, with raised eyebrows and a cold expression. The female is a young woman in a white dress of about the same age, with a delicate face and a smile on her face. She is indeed the Mujia Muxianyun who once had a relationship at the opening ceremony.

"It turned out to be the priest sister, the younger brother is polite." Although feeling a little surprised, Liu Ming still said with a fist.

"Brother Pastor, you promised to sit there at the beginning. But the past six months have passed, and the senior sister has never seen Junior Brother Bai come home." Mu Xianyun said with a smile on her lips.

"Ah... It's no wonder the pastor sister. After getting started, the younger brother and a few juniors have been ordered to practice in the mountains and have not had time to do so. This senior is..." Liu Ming responded vaguely and looked to the side. Cruel youth.

"Yin Sha Shan Du Hai." The young man replied briefly, with no expression on his face.

"It turns out that the brother of the Yin Sha line." Liu Ming's face changed slightly when he heard the words.

Among the many branches of the Jiuying Sect, Yin Sha is a powerful force that can be ranked in the top three, and the relationship between its disciples and Jiuying Mountain has never been very good.

"Senior Brother Bai, don’t worry. Senior Brother Du is a good friend of Senior Sister I’ve known for many years. He won’t affect my intercourse relationship because of the relationship. By the way, I also have something for Senior Brother Bai to buy in the'Gray Market' this time. Some friends I know may be able to help the younger brother one or two." Mu Xianyun asked with a smile after explaining a few words.

"Thank you for your kindness, Pastor Sister, but I have already bought the things, so I won't bother Sister Pastor." After Liu Ming's thoughts turned quickly, he politely refused.

"In this case, Senior Sister is not reluctant. By the way, can Junior Brother need to contribute some more recently?" Mu Xianyun was a little surprised at first, but immediately asked with a normal expression.

"Contribute points?" Liu Ming's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

"Yes. Recently, I, Senior Brother Du, and several other friends are preparing to take on an important task, but there is still a shortage of two people. If Junior Brother is interested, you can count as you." Mu Xianyun said without thinking.

"Since it is an important task, the junior has only started for half a year, so I am afraid that it will not be of any help by then. And how will the contribution points be allocated at that time." Liu Ming slowly replied after his eyes flashed a few times.

"You can rest assured that this mission is special. In fact, it doesn't require much cultivation. It just needs a few more people to be comprehensive and not fail. As for the contribution point, since it is a task that is taken together, it is naturally divided into equal parts." Seeing Liu Ming's intention, he immediately explained in detail.

"Well, since it's not dangerous, it doesn't need much cultivation. Then count it as a younger brother." Liu Ming thought for a while, and felt that it was just right to see what the so-called contribution point task looked like, so he nodded and agreed.

"Junior Brother made such a wise decision. This kind of multi-person task is most suitable for newcomers like Junior Brother. After three days, Junior Brother will go to the second floor of the Deacon Hall, and we will gather together to take this task." Hearing this, Mu Xianyun said with a charming chuckle.
