Chapter 44: The Spiritual Fruit Contest

Liu Ming glanced at the fair-skinned young man who was unconscious at his feet, and sighed softly.

The battle between the cultivators is really different from other battles he has experienced before. What seems to be a simple ice pick attack will suddenly change beyond expectations.

And the other party is only a mid-term spiritual disciple who doesn't seem to have practiced many secret arts.

If it were another spiritual disciple who had practiced for a longer period of time, or had practiced more profound magic techniques, wouldn't it be more difficult for him to deal with it.

Liu Ming thought so in his heart, and after moving his shoulders a little, he began to check the things on the three people on the ground without hesitation.

After a careful search, he got three talismans, more than 30 spirit stones, a bottle of half-bigu pill, and some messy materials, including things similar to medicinal herbs, and some unknown animal bones.

Liu Ming packed all these things together, and as soon as he put his shoulders behind him, he soared into the air and flew away in the direction of the Barbarian Ghost Sect.

Half a day later, when he entered the second floor of the Zongnei Deacon Hall again, there were already many people in the hall, but half of them were crowded in front of the crystal tablet where the mission was announced, and they were talking about something.

Seeing this, Liu Ming couldn't help feeling a little strange, but he didn't rush over, but walked to the other side of the stone platform.

Put the fish basket on the stone platform.

A middle-aged deacon immediately looked inside and nodded in approval:

"Yes, it is indeed an eaglefish. Although Junior Brother Bai is young, he has completed a lot of tasks recently. I am optimistic about Junior Brother, and I will work harder in the future."

As the middle-aged deacon spoke, he skillfully took the nameplate passed by Liu Ming, put a golden stick up a little, and threw out a small cloth bag full of spirit stones.

"Thank you Senior Brother Ji Yan. By the way, what new tasks have appeared recently, why are so many Senior Brothers gathered there." Liu Ming asked with a smile after picking up the nameplate and the cloth bag.

"Hehe, this is the poison spirit lineage, Master Zhang needs a few disciples to watch the furnace. I don't want to say how much you contribute, but the additional reward is that you are willing to give pointers on alchemy, so many people are tempted. After all, Master Zhang is our ghost sect. The first alchemist, if he can really learn one or two alchemy techniques from his hands, I am afraid that he will use it indefinitely. But it must really satisfy Zhang Shibo!" The middle-aged deacon said with a hey hey, but his face was full of There was a clear look of disapproval.

"Senior brother, could it be that there is another mystery in it?" Liu Ming asked with a move in his heart.

"Hehe, Junior Brother can look back and see who are the disciples who are ready to take the task under the task?" The middle-aged deacon said with a slight smile.

Liu Ming was naturally a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but look back.

After a while, he couldn't help showing a hint of surprise, but the middle-aged deacon continued calmly:

"Master Zhang has released similar tasks several times in the past, and I don't know how many disciples have gone to accept the task, but no one has actually completed it. Those disciples who accepted the task, except for being scolded by Master Zhang with a bloody head and After wasting a few months, all of them have achieved nothing in alchemy. So when this task comes up later, those slightly older disciples completely ignore it. Hehe, only these young people are younger. The younger brothers and sisters who still have the hope of becoming an alchemist are willing to give it a try.”

"That's it, thank you brother for your guidance.

"Liu Ming was a little stunned.

Although the other party didn't say much, he also clearly heard that the "Master Zhang" of the poison spirit lineage was not easy to serve, so he naturally put out the idea of ​​taking this task.

It's okay to fail, but it's not worth it to him to waste a few months.

Of course, he has already known from some people that alchemists, magicians, spiritual plants, spirit beasts, qi alchemists and other special skills are very popular in the cultivation world, especially the rarest alchemy. A teacher is almost indispensable to a sect.

But deep down in his heart, he was still very interested in alchemy masters.

After all, if he was an alchemist himself, the green-haired giant rat meat he got last time could be made into an elixir, which would have the greatest effect.

Liu Ming thought so in his heart, turned around and left the stone platform, but when he passed the crystal monument, he glanced upwards with a slight footstep, and quickly found the mission issued by Zhang Shibo.

Sure enough, just like what the middle-aged deacon said, being a three-month fire disciple can get 100 contribution points and get advice on alchemy. All remuneration will not be paid.

Liu Ming grinned, and immediately left the hall on the second floor without stopping, walked out of the deacon hall, and flew to his residence.

In the following two months, Liu Ming never left Jiuying Mountain again, and concentrated on practicing Minggu Jue at his residence.

On this day, Liu Ming, who was cultivating in the house, suddenly felt his body light up, and a feeling that made his heart and soul tremble poured out of his dantian. He couldn't help but let out a long howl.

The whistling sound was unusually thick and continuous, like a huge wave. It lasted for half a cup of tea before finally stopping.

At this time, Liu Ming looked up and down his body with a look of surprise on his face, and felt the extremely abundant mana in his body.

He has already cultivated into the second-level Nether Bone Jutsu, and has become a mid-stage spiritual disciple.

At the same time, in a certain hall on the top of Jiuying Mountain, the middle-aged scholar heard the faint whistle from outside the hall and stopped abruptly. He immediately rushed to the man with hair on the opposite side, and said with a smile:

"Listening to the intensity of the whistle, it seems that a disciple of this vein has succeeded in the mid-advance stage. This can be regarded as a gratifying thing. Maybe, this is a harbinger of what we discussed, and it will be smooth sailing."

"I hope so. No one would have thought that the smooth action of the year would bring such a godsend opportunity to the main line. But the more this is the case, the more unwilling the two old guys will be to fulfill the contract. ." Zhu Chi heard the words and replied with a wry smile.

"Hmph, unless they really don't want Jiuqiaoshan's face, they brought this up on their own initiative. If they go back on it now, I'd like to see how these two old guys said it." The Taoist nun surnamed Zhong on the side heard the words, and immediately said with upside-down eyebrows.

"Repent directly? The two of them are also well-known spiritual masters for many years, and they can't do such things. It's just that if they put forward conditions on the distribution method, we can't just refuse." Zhu Chi slowly replied. road.

"What, Junior Brother Zhu, what news have you received?" Gui Ruquan asked with a condensed gaze upon hearing this.

"Well, I just received a letter from a disciple of Jiuqiao Mountain before I came here. Senior Brother Gui and Junior Sister Zhong may wish to take a look at it." Zhu Chi sighed and said, then flipped over with one hand, and suddenly took out a Zhang light-yellow leather rolls came, and he threw it to the scholar first.

After Gui Ruquan grabbed it, he hurriedly opened it up to take a closer look.

As a result, he only looked at it for a moment, and his face could not help gloomy.

Seeing this scene, Daoist Nun Zhong was a little surprised.

"Junior sister, take a look too." The scholar finally handed the scroll to the Taoist nun, and closed his eyes as he pondered what was going on.

"What, they actually asked Doufa to distribute those spiritual fruits, and only the disciples who have been in the new entry for less than three years can participate in the competition. Isn't this bullying our new entry disciples who have only cultivated for a long time? Besides, Jiuqiao Mountain has always been famous for its puppet arts. Zong, as long as the disciples can have one or two powerful puppets, their strength will naturally increase immediately. Our disciples, how can we compete with them!" After reading the letter, Daoist Zhong surnamed, burst into anger.

"But some of the spirit fruit trees are already under their control. And as far as I know, the new disciples of Jiuqiao Mountain are only a year earlier than us, and they also promised that the disciples participating in the competition will never use puppets above the third rank. We It's not good to refuse completely." Zhu Chi said so.

"But we have only five new disciples this time. Among them, only Xiao Feng has just advanced to the middle stage of spiritual disciples. How did the other people fight with each other?" Daoist surname Zhong said in a hurry.

Zhu Chi frowned when he heard this.

"Hmph, since it's the condition they put forward, naturally there is room for bargaining. It's absolutely impossible to compete with them all five games, so let's write back and say three games. In this case, no matter how bad we are, we can still hope to get three points. One of the spiritual fruits." Gui Ruquan finally opened his eyes and said with a snort.

"Compete three games? That's a good idea! With Feng'er's strength, I'm at least 70% to 80% sure."

"But what about the other two games, who do we send, can't we just give up like this?" Daoist surname Zhong still said unwillingly.

"Is there two people left? Yu Cheng has been practicing very hard recently, so let's just count him as one. As for the other person, that disciple named Bai Congtian, wasn't he already an early spiritual disciple half a year ago? The mana has also risen a bit, and he is not bad for competing with others for experience, so let's count him as one. Even if both of them lose, it's fine. If one of them is lucky enough to win, we will make a lot of money. ." Gui Ruquan made a decision after thinking for a while.

When Zhu Chi heard the words, he nodded again and again, and after thinking about it, Daoist Zhong surnamed, he could only reluctantly agree.

So after the three discussed it for a while, Gui Ruquan immediately took out a blank scroll, quickly wrote a reply, and summoned a disciple to come in and deliver it to him.

After a while, a cloud of ash flew out from Jiuying Mountain, left the Barbarian Ghost Sect Mountain Gate directly, and flew all the way in a certain direction.

Half a month later, Liu Ming, who was starting to comprehend spiritism in the house, suddenly heard a loud male voice from outside the house:

"Is Junior Brother Bai here? In the name of Master, I'm here to find you to go up the mountain."

These voices were clearly Ishikawa's voice.
