The two of them flew through a wide entrance at the bottom of the tower and arrived at a brightly lit hall.
The hall was quite spacious with several thick stone pillars supporting the ceiling. At the center of the hall was a circular stone platform. Two cultivators in Taiqing Sect's robes were seated inside. Hearing the sound of footsteps, they turned to look.
Liu Ming was taken aback. One of the two elders was a middle-aged man with a cold expression while the other had the appearance of a child. They were none other than Emerald Cloud Peak's elder, Haoyue Boy, whom he had met several times before.
Seeing Liu Ming, Haoyue Boy was also taken aback.
"Disciple Qi Yue greets elders," the youth surnamed Yue did not notice the change in the expressions of Liu Ming and Haoyue Boy as he bowed.
"Liu Ming greets elders!"
Liu Ming's expression quickly recollected itself and he too, bowed.
"So, it is Martial Nephew Yue. There is no need for formalities," the cold-faced middle-aged man said coolly.
"Liu, I did not expect you to come to the Evil Spirit Realm. Are you here to train?" Haoyue Boy stood up with a smile.
When Yue Qi and the cold-faced middle-aged man saw this, their faces showed a bit of surprise.
"Yes. Disciple's cultivation has reached a bottleneck. I came here in search of opportunities," Liu Ming said, cupping his fists.
"As I recall, Liu cultivates the Ghost Dao. This Evil Spirit Realm's environment is suitable for you to hone your cultivation." Hearing that, Haoyue Boy nodded in agreement.
"Oh, so Brother Haoyue knows this disciple?" The cold-faced middle-aged man, who had noticed the exchange between the two, said with a glint of surprise in his eyes.
"Brother Gu, you have been guarding the Evil Spirit Realm for nearly a hundred years now. As such, you know very little about the outside world. This Liu only entered the inner sect a few decades ago. However, his strength is quite impressive. Now, he is the number one disciple in the inner sect. Even the Sect Master is full of praise for him, "said the Haoyue Boy with a faint smile.
"Oh? So you're the disciple who came out on top in the Elysium Meeting. I've heard some things about you. "The cold-faced man sized up Liu Ming with a hint of surprise on his face.
Qi Yue stood at the side, his face full of surprise.
On the way here, although he had felt that Liu Ming's strength was extraordinary, he did not expect him to be so famous in the Sect.
"You flatter me, Elder. I don't deserve it." Liu Ming bowed and did not say anything else.
"Since you're the strongest in this Realm Heavenly Gate Meeting, there's naturally no need to go through the usual strength test. As for the difference between the three Jin Guangjun's teams, I'm sure Qi Yue has already made it clear on the way here. However, which team would Liu like to join? "The cold-faced middle-aged man's eyes flashed as he slowly asked.
"I would like to join the first team," said Liu Ming as he took off the disciple token from his waist and handed it over.
Seeing this, Qi Yue gave Liu Ming a look. However, Liu Ming ignored it.
"Have you thought it through, Liu? Although you're not weak, the Evil Spirit Realm is not like the outside world. I suggest you join the second team first and familiarize yourself with it, "reminded the Haoyue Boy with a frown.
"Thank you, Elder Haoyue, for your kindness. I've already made up my mind. I hope you can fulfill my wish," replied Liu Ming in a firm tone.
Although Qi Yue had already said on the way here that it was best for new disciples to start from the third or second team to familiarize themselves with the situation here before considering joining the first team, Liu Ming's time was very precious.
He was not willing to waste six years in vain. Moreover, he was very confident in his own strength, which was why he made such a request.
The middle-aged man with a cold face took a deep look at Liu Ming. After a few words of voice transmission with Haoyue, he took the token handed over by Liu Ming, took out a jade book, glanced at it a few times, and said faintly,
After a few glances, he said calmly, "Since Liu is so confident in his own strength, I'll grant your wish. Now that Team Seven lacks a vice-captain, why don't Liu take the position."
As soon as this remark came out, the complexions of Qi Yue and Haoyue Boy changed slightly.
"I wonder if elder can explain the situation of Team Seven to me?" Liu Ming looked at the expressions of Haoyue Boy and Qi Yue, and he asked.
"Even if Liu doesn't ask, I will explain it to you later. There are about three hundred disciples above the Crystallization Period in our Jin Guangjun City, and about half of them are concentrated in the first team. Team Seven is the most elite team of the first team. They perform extremely dangerous tasks, and the probability of death is very high. "Haoyue Boy suddenly explained.
"When the disciples of the various teams carry out missions in the Wraith Realm, the sect will give them a certain amount of rewards. There are contribution points, as well as various precious spirit materials that can only be found in this place. The more dangerous the mission, the more rewards you receive. Liu is strong, and he is here to hone his cultivation and find an opportunity to break through, so Team Seven is naturally the most suitable. "The cold-faced man glanced at Haoyue Boy and said calmly.
"So that's the case, then disciple will listen to Elder Gu's arrangement." Liu Ming hesitated, then he agreed.
"Very good, if the number one inner disciple of our sect doesn't have such confidence, I will be greatly disappointed."
The cold-faced middle-aged man showed a look of appreciation for the first time, and he shook the jade book with Liu Ming's disciple token.
After the green light on the jade book shone, it returned to calmness again.
The middle-aged man took out a black token and a storage amulet and handed them to Liu Ming, and explained:
"This is the token for you here, which is engraved with our Taiqing Gate's unique enchantment pattern. Later, drop a drop of blood on it, and in the future, you will use this to issue missions. In the storage amulet is the uniform of Jin Guangjun, and some information about the Evil Ghost Way collected by the Sect. After you go back, study it carefully, it will definitely be helpful for your future actions. "
Liu Ming agreed and took the token and storage talisman. After putting them away, he cupped his fist and asked,
"By the way, there is one more thing that I want to ask the two elders. Senior Sister Xiaowu came to the Evil Ghost Way to train in the early years, and then there has been no news of her. I heard that she disappeared during a mission, I don't know the specific situation? " Haoyue Boy and the cold-faced middle-aged man were startled when they heard this. They couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't answer for a while.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming's heart sank slightly.
Qi Yue, who was next to him, stood with his hands behind his back, his head lowered.
After a moment, Haoyue Boy sighed, and slowly said:
"This matter is quite complicated, and the Sect has not figured it out until now. Originally, I shouldn't tell you ordinary disciples, but since Liu is a fellow disciple of Martial Niece Xiaowu, I will tell you about it."
"A few years ago, the Sect received a report that there seemed to be evil ghosts in the Heavenly Ghost Plain in the northwest, so they sent a small team of disciples to investigate. Martial Niece Xiaowu was among them, and there were also three Fake Dan State cultivators and a Jin Dan State leader. But after they left, there was no news at all. After that, the Sect also sent other people to investigate, but they didn't find the slightest abnormality, not even traces of a fierce battle. This matter has always been a mystery, and Xiaowu and the others seemed to have evaporated from this place. "Haoyue Boy sighed.
Hearing this, Liu Ming frowned.
Listening to Haoyue Boy, Xiaowu and the others had most likely met with misfortune.
"Thank you for telling me about this, Martial Uncle. I am very grateful." Liu Ming sighed and cupped his hands.
"No news is not necessarily a bad thing, Liu, you don't have to worry too much. The Sect is still investigating, and when there is a result in the future, we will immediately inform you." Haoyue Boy thought for a while and said so.
Liu Ming could only thank him again with a bitter smile.
"Qi Yue, you take Liu to the residence of the first team, and explain the other things in detail to him." Haoyue Boy instructed Qi Yue on the side.
"Yes!" The thin young man cupped his hands and bowed, then he quickly retreated with Liu Ming.
Haoyue Boy looked at Liu Ming's disappearing figure, and he couldn't help feeling a little complicated. Although it had been decades since Liu Ming entered Taiqing Gate, he still secretly regretted it.
If he insisted on recruiting Liu Ming into the Emerald Cloud Peak, the honor of cultivating the top inner disciple would probably fall on his head. How could it be the Fallen Serene Peak's turn?
But now that things had come to this point, it was too late to say anything now.
"Ai …" Haoyue Boy sighed secretly in his heart.
"Brother Haoyue seems to care about this kid very much!" The cold-faced middle-aged man didn't speak just now, but he suddenly asked with a smile at this time.
"Hehe, this kid is related to Liuyin who disappeared here back then. He can be regarded as the descendant of an old friend of our peak. Of course, I have to take good care of him." Haoyue Boy replied noncommittally.
"Isn't the descendant of Liuyin a girl named Long Yanfei? Why is there a Liu Ming? I haven't returned to the Sect for nearly a hundred years. You have to tell me about this. "The cold-faced middle-aged man's expression changed when he heard this.
"It's a long story …"
…
After leaving the tower, Qi Yue took Liu Ming to an area on the left front of the city, and he said with great enthusiasm,
"Younger Brother Liu, I really didn't expect that you are the first inner disciple of the Sect now. Please take care of me in the future."
"Don't mention it, Brother Yue. These are all exaggerated by those people. You can't take it seriously. Few powerful inner disciples would stay in the Sect. Most of them would travel outside to seek for the opportunity to promote to the Jin Dan. I'm afraid that there are many disciples who are more powerful than me in the Golden Light City. "Liu Ming said as he shook his head.
As they talked, they landed at a crossroad in the city. There were many cave mansions on both sides of the road, each of which was marked with a number.
"The residences in the city are also divided according to the three brigades. This area is where the people of the first brigade live. Brother Liu's residence is in this area." Qi Yue said to Liu Ming casually as he looked around and pointed at a cave mansion marked with "No. 7 Jia Dao".
Liu Ming looked at the environment around the cave house. Seeing that it was quiet, he nodded slightly.
"Brother Liu, I still have some things to deal with next. If you have free time in the future, you can come to Jia Dao No. 9 to find me." Seeing that the matter had basically come to an end, Yue Qi said goodbye.
"Okay, thanks for your company, Brother Yue. See you later." Liu Ming said as he cupped his hands towards Qi Yue.
After exchanging a few words, the two people separated.
