When Liu Ming heard this, his heart was naturally startled, and he opened the door with a promise and walked out of the house into the small courtyard.
At a glance, he saw Ishikawa standing outside the courtyard and the red-haired boy "Yu Cheng" next to him.
When Yu Cheng saw Liu Ming come out, his eyes were somewhat complicated.
"Senior Brother Shi, is Master Gui looking for me?" Liu Ming asked after walking over.
"It's not just Master Gui, but Shishu Zhu and Shigu Zhong are also waiting for you and Junior Yu in the main hall on the top of the mountain. Hey... Junior Brother Bai, you are in the middle stage of the advanced spiritual apprenticeship!" Ishikawa said with a smile, but after taking a closer look at Liu Ming, Asked with a sudden change of face.
At this time, Liu Ming, because he hadn't been able to condense his mana freely after he had just advanced, he was blocked by the "Senior Brother Shi" at a glance.
"Senior brother really has eyes like a torch. The younger brother is indeed just a few days ago in the middle stage of the advanced spiritual apprentice." Liu Ming did not intend to hide it, and admitted it calmly.
As soon as Ishikawa heard this, even though he had always been extremely calm, he couldn't help showing an unbelievable look.
As for Yu Cheng next to him, he was a little dumbfounded when he heard these words.
"It turns out that Junior Brother is actually a cultivating genius. He can cultivate to the middle stage of the apprenticeship in just one year. This cultivation speed is probably not inferior to Junior Brother Xiao Feng." It took a while for Ishikawa to reduce the shock on his face. Said with a bitter smile.
"Little brother is not a cultivating genius, it's just that with the help of some external forces, he can get so lucky to advance to the middle stage of the spiritual apprentice." Liu Ming replied calmly.
"Junior Brother Bai is too humble. Even if the junior apprentice really consumes some medicine that can increase mana, the middle stage and the early stage of the apprentice are completely different. In the early stage of the apprentice, anyone can easily enter as long as the mana is enough. There will be a bottleneck. As far as I know, many disciples of the Three Spiritual Vessels are stuck in the early stage of the spiritual disciple and have been unable to make progress for many years. But Junior Brother Bai, it is not wise to rely on the power of the pill to increase his mana now. In terms of things, the magic power still needs a little bit of purity by self-cultivation, and the resistance will be less when you encounter bottlenecks in the future." After hearing Liu Ming's words, Ishikawa appeared a little surprised, but shook his head. Said with profound meaning.
When Yu Cheng heard this, an expression of "it is so" appeared on his face.
Ishikawa obviously increased Liu Ming's cultivation base so quickly, and suddenly thought of some pills that could increase mana.
In the Barbarian Ghost Sect, there are indeed several medicines that can increase mana, but they only have a certain effect on the disciple of the spirit, and the contribution points that need to be exchanged are really amazing. In general, the inner disciple, few people are willing to exchange it.
After all, for most disciples, as long as they don't encounter a bottleneck during the spiritual apprentice period, as long as they spend a certain amount of time practicing, their mana will always increase slowly. And if you encounter a bottleneck, taking this mana-increasing pill will naturally hit the dog with meat buns, and it will have no effect at all. In this way, the contribution points in the clan are so precious that they naturally have to be reserved for other purposes.
Of course, the mana gained by relying on the pill is indeed like Ishikawa said, far inferior to the purity that he has cultivated.
The mana transformed in the flesh and blood of the giant rats that Liu Ming ate at the beginning did not have this drawback.
After all, the mana in these flesh and blood was cultivated by these monsters themselves, and the mana that can remain in the body after death is the essence of the monster's mana.
However, it is more unreliable to rely solely on the flesh and blood of monsters to increase mana than the means of increasing mana by pill.
After all, only eating the flesh and blood of a monster beast higher than one's level can increase the mana effect, but if you really have to face such a powerful monster beast, then it is not easy to say who eats who. Moreover, the monster beast eats a lot of flesh and blood, and there are also other complications.
Moreover, even if someone is willing to give it a try, the monster beasts of the Great Profound Kingdom are rare, and the high-ranking spiritist-level monsters are even rarer.
Liu Ming naturally knew all of this through reading some classics, but when he saw that Ishikawa and the other two had misunderstood him, he immediately smiled and would not explain anything.
Although all the flesh and blood of that green-haired giant mouse has been eaten, and it is helpless to be known by other people in the sect, it is better to do more than to do less.
"Thank you, brother, for your guidance, the younger brother will definitely remember it. By the way, I don't know what happened to Master Gui summoning me and Junior Brother Yu, can you tell me something?" Liu Ming asked somewhat curiously after responding vaguely.
"I really don't know this. I only know that it has something to do with Jiuqiao Mountain. Besides you, Junior Brother Xiao Feng was also called over." Ishikawa replied hesitantly.
"Jiuqiao Mountain?" Liu Ming was surprised when he heard the words.
Jiuqiao Mountain is also one of the five major sects of the Great Profound Kingdom. Regardless of its strength ranking, it is still above the Barbarian Ghost Sect. Besides knowing that this sect seems to be very good at puppet tricks, he doesn't know anything else.
Liu Ming still had some strange knowledge in his heart, and the three of them drove into the sky and headed straight to the top of the mountain.
After a while, Liu Ming, Yu Cheng, and Xiao Feng all appeared in the hall.
Not far in front of them, Gui Ruquan and other three spiritual masters sat on their chairs.
However, Confucian scholars looked at Liu Ming, who was unexpectedly a mid-stage spiritualist, frowning, and shook his head after a long while and said:
"You actually rely on the power of the pill to shorten the training time, which disappoints me a bit. But this is another surprise for what I am about to tell you. So I won't say anything about you anymore. Zhu Junior brother, tell all three of them about this."
At this time, Senior Aunt Zhong looked at Liu Ming, also a little disappointed.
Among the three spiritual masters of Jiuying Mountain, only this Senior Aunt Zhong valued Liu Ming quite a bit. After mistakenly thinking that he was taking a pill to advance to the middle stage of the spiritual apprenticeship, he naturally hated iron. The feel of steel.
"The three of you are called this time because we had an agreement with the two Daoist fellows, Dashang Dazhi, Jiuqiaozong..." Zhu Chi said slowly when he heard the words of the Confucian student on the side.
It turned out that seven or eight years ago, the Taoist aunt Zhu Chizhong was invited by the two spiritual masters of the Jiuqiao Sect to explore the secrets in a dangerous place, and found a fruit tree full of unknown spiritual fruits inside. It's just that these spiritual fruits have just come out, not long before they mature. So they agreed with each other that once they matured, they would come to divide the spiritual fruit on the tree equally. However, a few days ago, they received a letter from the disciples of the Nine Aperture Sect, saying that these soon mature spirit fruits would use the fighting method of new beginner disciples to determine their belonging.
After Kyu and others bargained with each other, they finally decided to try three games.
Liu Ming and the three of them were the disciples selected by the scholars and others to be brought to the fight.
"Although this kind of competition is not a life-and-death skill, since it involves spiritual things, it will not easily end up in a natural fight, so there is a certain life worry. If you are unwilling to participate, you can bring it up now, we The three will not force it. In addition, since you are allowed to contribute, it will naturally be beneficial to you. After we carefully checked the classics later, we found that they are the rumored Tianqiong fruit. Use this fruit. It is a kind of spiritual liquid that needs to be refined as the main medicine. It is very useful for low-level cultivators. It has an amazing effect of washing the marrow and cutting hair on the body. If you participate in the competition, as long as you can win the spirit fruit back, you will have this. Spirit liquid rewards. Of course, if you can win the disciple, the reward will naturally be more." Zhu Chi said in the end.
"The disciples are willing to participate in this battle!" As soon as Zhu Chi finished speaking, Xiao Feng said without hesitation.
He had just entered the middle stage of the spiritual apprentice, and he was already confident in his own strength, and his confidence would never be inferior to any disciple of the same period.
"The disciples are also willing to contribute to this pulse!" Yu Cheng also looked eager to try.
Liu Ming didn't even say "unwilling", and after a little thought, he also expressed his willingness to participate.
"Very well, you are the best three of the new disciples. But the disciples sent by Jiuqiao Mountain are definitely not easy. So in the next month, you will stay on the top of the mountain for the time being to familiarize yourself with the methods of fighting puppetry. The three of us will personally point out one or two, so that your chances of winning can be increased by one or two points." Gui Ruquan said with satisfaction when he saw this.
When Liu Ming and others heard this, they naturally nodded and agreed.
So for the next month, Liu Ming and the three people stayed in a certain practice range on the top of the mountain, fighting some low-level puppets every day.
Although the three of Gui Ruquan didn't study puppetry too deeply, there is no problem in manipulating some low-level organ puppets and imitating some conventional attacks of puppetry.
And the different attack methods of various low-level puppets, as well as the various attacks of puppet technique practitioners, opened up the eyes of the three of Liu Ming.
Of course, in this kind of exercise, Liu Ming will naturally not use all of his methods, but the ordinary performance among the three will not make the three of Gui Ruquan pay special attention, but will not let them really disappointed. .
A month's time passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Liu Ming, the three people, Confucian scholars and others all came to the square.
After Zhu Chi said a few farewell words to the scholar, he took out a pale yellow talisman from his body and threw it forward with one hand.
After a puff of white air, a seven-eight-foot-long green wooden boat immediately appeared in front of everyone.
The whole body of this boat is long and narrow and green, and some strange light silver patterns are imprinted on the inside and outside of the boat, giving people an unusually mysterious feeling.
"Haha, with Junior Brother Zhu Biling Feizhou on the road, this time it will not delay too much time." Gui Ruquan immediately twisted his beard when he saw the green wooden boat.
"Yes, if Brother Zhu accidentally discovered a thousand-year-old green spirit wood, and spent a lot of money to ask Master Yu to spend three years to refine it, how can I get this flying magic weapon? With this spirit weapon in the body, as long as you don't encounter a few powerful enemies who are proficient in escape, it is more than enough even if you can't get out." The Taoist surnamed Zhong also said with a smile.
