"Hmph, we are no longer fighting with them for the Spiritual Pulse disciples of our sect. If they want to fight, then don't blame me for being impolite. Although our sect has been in decline for many years, we will not allow others to take advantage of us. "The Confucian robed man's face darkened as he replied.
"Since Senior has made up his mind, Junior Zhong and I will definitely support you. Our sect is only left with us three Spirit Masters, so we must advance and retreat together. "The disheveled haired man thought for a moment before finally making up his mind.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed and he began to cough violently. He quickly took the red gourd from his waist, pulled out the cork, and drank a few mouthfuls of the emerald green liquid.
A strong aroma of wine came from the gourd. It was an unknown strong wine.
After drinking a few mouthfuls, the disheveled haired man's face became a bit better.
"Junior Zhu, are you alright? The cold air in your body has been there for many years. If you only use medicinal wine to deal with it, it won't solve the problem. "Seeing this, the Confucian robed man revealed a worried expression.
"Senior Gui, don't worry. As long as I drink the Three Sun Wine, I will be able to control the cold air. You don't need to worry too much." The disheveled haired man replied with a smile as if he really didn't care about the cold air.
"It's all my fault. Back then, I knew that you had just become a Spirit Master. I should have let you stabilize your cultivation first before letting you go to the Nightmare Cliff. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten this cold air. "The Confucian robed man said with regret.
"This isn't your fault. Back then, I was the one who requested to go. After all, you were also at a critical point in your cultivation and couldn't leave the Sect. Junior Zhong was already in danger and couldn't be delayed. "The disheveled haired man shook his head.
"After the Opening Spirit Ceremony, I will go beg Martial Uncle again. I must ask for a few more Pure Yang Pills. Although these pills can't cure the cold air, they can at least alleviate your pain. "The Confucian robed man said seriously.
"Forget it, Martial Uncle is currently in a life or death situation. The previous few disturbances have already caused the other mountains to be unhappy. If I go again, they will have something to use against me." The disheveled haired man laughed bitterly.
"You don't need to worry about this. If they really do come looking for me, I will deal with them. "The scholar harrumphed coldly.
The man with the disheveled hair hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything.
Soon after, the two of them exchanged a few more words behind the tree before disappearing in a faint mist.
At this time, the group of boys and girls walked in front of a row of obviously newly built stone houses. Under the direction of the burly man, they were arranged to enter one by one.
When Liu Ming pushed open the door, which was filled with the fragrance of fresh wood, a room that was no more than thirty to forty feet wide appeared in front of him.
There was a green wooden table, a wooden chair made of the same material, and a grayish-white stone bed that was about ten feet long. A thin layer of cotton quilt was spread on top of the bed, and there was nothing else.
Seeing all of this, not only did Liu Ming not reveal an expression of disappointment, but after a soft sigh, he walked a few steps to the stone bed and sat down.
The simple furnishings in the stone house made him unconsciously recall the difficult life on Savage Island, and his mind couldn't help but become absent-minded.
After an unknown amount of time, he once again returned to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he began to carefully inspect every corner of the stone house, as well as all of the furniture. After seeing that it was really only ordinary items and nothing out of the ordinary, he finally relaxed and lay down on the stone bed, and began to silently recall a few things.
In the past, because of his father's crime, he was directly arrested by the government and sent to Savage Island. Although it had been many years, he still remembered many details.
At the time of the incident, aside from him and his father, there were only a few servants.
As for his mother, he had never seen her since he could remember. It was said that when he was born, she passed away because of a difficult birth.
As for other relatives and friends, he had never heard his father talk about them.
However, he had heard from other people that his father had moved him from a faraway place with him when he was still an infant. As for where they originally lived, no one knew.
His father was very strict with him. Ever since he could remember, he had taught him how to read and write, and had him memorize a few ancient scrolls.
Just a few nights before his father was arrested, he suddenly asked Liu Ming, who was only a few years old at that time, to memorize an extremely secretive location. He only stopped after Liu Ming had memorized the location and repeatedly told him not to tell a third person.
A few days later, his father was arrested by the bailiffs that swarmed into the city, and Liu Ming was directly sent to Savage Island.
The bailiffs probably didn't think that they would be able to obtain any useful information from the mouth of a young child.
However, when he thought about the secret location that he still remembered, he couldn't help but bitterly laugh.
When he was young, he didn't know what the location meant. Now, he knew that to him, that place was no different from a dragon's pool or a tiger's den.
If he didn't have enough strength to go there, it would be no different from suicide.
That year, his father had solemnly asked him to memorize the secret location. It definitely contained an extremely important secret, and it was most likely directly related to his father's death in prison.
The person behind the scenes was actually able to use the crime of "great disrespect" to directly kill his father, so he was definitely a person of great power. Ordinary methods of investigation would probably be completely useless, and it might even alert the enemy instead, which would bring about a fatal disaster to himself.
However, how could he not take revenge for his father's death?
Thinking about this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness that shouldn't be present at his age.
If it was before, he would have been at his wits' end, but now, as long as he could become a Spirit Apostle, or survive the Opening Spirit Ceremony, it wouldn't be difficult for him to enter that place once his strength increased.
However, thinking about what the black clothed man said about the terrifying number of disciples from influential families that could open their spirits, even though he had some confidence in himself, his heart couldn't help but sink.
As for the specifics of the Opening Spirit Ceremony, Liu Ming naturally asked Guan Lao Da and Guan Lao Da about it.
Unfortunately, the two of them were only high level servants of the Bai Clan, so they didn't know much about it. They only knew that through the ceremony, an external force could be used to strengthen the unsolidified Spiritual Pulse of a Spiritual Pulse user. Using the power of the ceremony, the user's body would be able to condense a Spiritual Sea, the biggest difference between a Spirit Apostle and a Qi Practitioner.
Only with a Spiritual Sea, a Spirit Apostle would be able to slowly transform Yuan Li into Fa Li. The speed of cultivating Yuan Li would also be like heaven and earth, something that normal Qi Practitioners wouldn't be able to imagine.
The Spiritual Sea was extremely mysterious, and Guan Lao Da and Guan Lao Da knew nothing about it. This made Liu Ming feel a little helpless.
Forget it, the only thing he could do was to speed up his cultivation of the Qi Control Technique.
Even though he didn't know if this technique would be of any help to the Opening Spirit Ceremony, this was all he could do for now.
Since he had that ability, even though he didn't have much time left, there should still be some effect.
When Liu Ming thought about his special talent, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile.
This ability was not something he was born with. Instead, it was something he had experienced in the past when his family underwent a drastic change, and after personally witnessing a series of bloody events on Savage Island as a child, he fell seriously ill. Only then did he suddenly discover that he had this strange talent.
This ability allowed him to forcefully split his consciousness into two, and at the same time, he could command each half of his body to do their own thing.
This ability of his was very different from the rumored talent of "Multitasking at Once".
After splitting his consciousness into two, as long as he went through a certain amount of training, he would be able to gradually grow stronger. Furthermore, he would be able to keep one half of his consciousness active while the other half in a dormant state.
As for the commonly said "Multitasking at Once", these two situations would never occur.
When he discovered this abnormality, he carefully asked the people on Savage Island about it. In addition, he read a few books related to this on the island. After a few years, he was finally able to confirm that this ability of his was a mutation of "Multitasking at Once".
As for what this mutation was, and whether or not there were any side effects, this was not something that Liu Ming could know.
Now that he had this talent, he naturally wouldn't waste it. After these years of training, his mental strength had increased at an astonishing rate. It was almost double that of a normal person's.
If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have been able to last so long under the pursuit of so many bailiffs and Black Tiger Guards.
Previously, he didn't display the full power of this talent in front of Guan Lao Da and Gu Lao San. For him to be able to rest half of his consciousness was not as simple as one plus one.
When he was on Savage Island, as long as he was willing, he could continuously train and research secret techniques for five or six days straight. After that, all he needed to do was to have a good night's sleep and his mental strength would be restored to its original state.
In other words, the amount of time he spent training was several times that of a normal person.
This was also the reason why he was able to learn so many secret techniques at such a young age on Savage Island.
As Liu Ming thought about this, he closed his eyes for a moment before sitting up. Taking a deep breath, he began to cultivate on the stone bed.
To him, resting was a luxury.
Thus, in the next ten days, other than eating time, Liu Ming didn't take a single step out of his stone room. Day and night, he cultivated his Yuan Controlling Technique.
The Tiger's Bite Bracelet, which was originally a little difficult to use, had become much easier to use in just a dozen or so days of hard work.
During this period of time, some of the other boys and girls stayed in the stone houses like Liu Ming, while others wandered around the forest. There were also some who called each other brothers and gathered together. Who knew what they were talking about every day.
Fang Xiong and the other outer sect disciples ignored them. As long as they didn't walk out of the forest, they allowed the boys and girls to do as they pleased.
Just like this, the day of the Opening Spirit Ceremony finally arrived.
