"So it's Fellow Yan. Please come in. I was cultivating in the secret room just now and didn't notice the Message Glyph, "Liu Ming said lightly.
"Elder Liu is too polite. I heard from Martial Nephew Zhong that you've returned, so I came to visit." Old Man Yan saw Liu Ming and let out a sigh of relief.
Right now, Liu Ming was the most important person in the Barbarian Ghost Sect, and he absolutely could not be lost. Old Man Yan wished that Liu Ming could seclude himself in the Barbarian Ghost Sect for a thousand years and never leave. However, this was clearly impossible.
Liu Ming had naturally seen through Old Man Yan's thoughts, but unfortunately, he had no intention of wasting any more time in the Vast Sea Region.
"Fellow, please take a seat." Liu Ming pointed to a seat in the hall and said casually.
The old man surnamed Yan expressed his gratitude before taking a seat off to the side.
"It's been a few days since the end of the war. What's the situation in the Vast Sea Region?" Liu Ming asked.
"I was about to tell Elder Liu about this …" Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Yan hurriedly said, then he reported the recent events to Liu Ming in a long-winded manner.
After the Sea Emperor Palace's forces were annihilated, the Vast Sea Region had undergone earth-shaking changes in less than ten days.
First, the Golden Scale Clan, who once boasted of the "Vast Sea Royal Clan", began to move. They reclaimed their original island forces on the periphery of the Vast Sea Region, and several other Sea Clans also began to move.
Although the ten Sea Clans of the Vast Sea Clan had been wantonly suppressed and persecuted by the Sea Emperor Palace in the past hundred years, they still accumulated considerable strength and could not be underestimated.
Of course, because of the existence of Liu Ming, no one dared to provoke the humans of the Yunchuan Continent.
The major sects of Yunchuan were naturally not idle. Taking advantage of this turmoil, they frequently sent people to occupy several islands near the Yunchuan Continent.
As the most powerful Sect, the Barbarian Ghost Sect was the first to occupy the three most resource-rich islands. Now, Sect Leader Huang Shi and a few Spirit Masters brought some Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples to guard the islands, preparing to establish a branch there.
In addition, the Sea Clan also took the initiative to send people to contact the Yunchuan Alliance, sent a large number of materials, and proposed to sign a non-aggression treaty.
When Liu Ming heard this, he nodded noncommittally. This situation was within his expectations.
In this way, the Barbarian Ghost Sect would gradually stabilize and grow stronger. After a few more decades of recuperation and the various resources he brought, the prosperity of the sect was only a matter of time.
"By the way, I almost forgot something." Liu Ming suddenly thought of something and interrupted Old Man Yan's torrent of words. He took out a storage ring and handed it to Old Man Yan, then said, "Old Man Yan,
"These are some of the training resources in Sea Emperor Palace that I asked people to collect when I was fighting with Siren King. You should make good use of them."
The elderly man faltered slightly upon hearing this before inspecting his storage ring with his spiritual sense, upon which an ecstatic look appeared on his face.
Although the quality of the various training resources in the storage ring was not as good as what Liu Ming had given him last time, the quantity was much greater, and it was more suitable for the current situation of the Barbarian Ghost Sect.
After all, most of the cultivators of the Barbarian Ghost Sect were at the Spirit Apostle Stage and the Liquid Stage.
With these things, he was confident that he could double the number of Spirit Masters in the Barbarian Ghost Sect in ten or twenty years.
"Elder Liu, don't worry. I will make good use of these resources and live up to your expectations." Elder Yan patted his chest and promised.
"I naturally believe in Fellow Yan's ability."
Liu Ming smiled and nodded.
"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you. Now that the Sea Region has settled down and the crisis of the Yunchuan Continent has been resolved, I won't stay here for too long. I will find a way to return to the Middle Sky Continent as soon as possible. "
"What, Elder Liu wants to go back …"
Elder Yan was greatly shocked upon hearing this and suddenly stood up. He opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Liu Ming's calm gaze, he didn't say anything.
He had been worried about this matter, but when Liu Ming really wanted to leave, he had no reason to keep Liu Ming.
"Brother Yan, don't worry. I only said this to remind you that the Sea Region is too far away from the Middle Sky Continent. I haven't found a way to return for the time being, so I will probably stay in the Barbarian Ghost Sect for a while. Also, before I leave, I will definitely make some arrangements to ensure the prosperity of the Barbarian Ghost Sect. "Liu Ming immediately added.
"If that's the case, then it's fine. I'll have to trouble Elder Liu to worry again." Elder Yan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this and hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.
What would come would come. For the entire Barbarian Ghost Sect, being able to receive so much help from Liu Ming was already very lucky. If he asked for more, he was afraid that it would instead make Liu Ming unhappy.
"By the way, when we last met, I felt that Fellow Yan's Flying Silver Corpse seemed to be somewhat out of control. I wonder if my senses were wrong?" Liu Ming smiled and suddenly changed the topic.
"Elder Liu's eyes are like torches. That's right. In recent years, the cultivation of that silver corpse has greatly increased. Although it usually doesn't go out of control, it is becoming more and more difficult to control. I wonder if Elder Liu has a way? "Elder Yan was a little surprised at first, but then asked with great joy.
"Although I don't practice the Corpse Refining Branch, I have read some related books in the Scripture Pavilion of the Taiqing Gate. Among them, there is a secret technique called the Heart Trapping Lock, which can strengthen the control of the Corpse Refining Branch. If Fellow trusts me, there is no harm in letting me handle the Flying Silver Corpse, "Liu Ming said slowly.
Back then, in order to refine the Celestial Elephant Demon Corpse he had obtained in the ancient ruins of the Pegasus Plains into a Corpse Refining Branch, he had gone through countless books. Unfortunately, the demon corpse had been taken away by Green Spirit. Even now, thinking about it still made his heart ache.
"If what you say is true, then I will leave it to Elder Liu." Elder Yan was overjoyed. He took out a palm-sized black gourd and a bone-white token from his bosom and handed them over to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming took them and his eyes suddenly flashed. He glanced at the Cultivating Soul Pouch at his waist, then swept his gaze over the bone-white token. Finally, his gaze fell on the black gourd.
The gourd's appearance was jet-black, and its tentacles were smooth and delicate. It seemed to be made of some kind of wooden spirit material, but it also faintly emitted a trace of coldness.
His divine sense entered the gourd. The silver flying corpse was sitting cross-legged, breathing in and out as if it was cultivating on its own.
Elder Yan explained, "This item was given to me by my master. Apparently, he obtained it during a fortuitous encounter. Due to the fact that it possesses its own space within it, I refined it and used it as a Corpse Refinement Pouch, "the elderly man explained.
"I see. This gourd should have some history. I can't identify its material, but it seems to contain a wisp of extremely pure Yin Qi. This gourd should be the reason why your Flying Silver Corpse is progressing so quickly." Liu Ming's eyes flashed upon hearing this.
"Is that so?!"
The elderly man was naturally quite surprised to hear this.
Elder Yan paused momentarily before asking, "Fellow Yan, this item is of some use to me. Would you be able to transfer it to me? I will use some rare materials to raise the cultivation of your Flying Silver Corpse to the intermediate stage of the Crystallization Period as compensation. "Liu Ming paused slightly and asked.
"Since this item is of use to Elder Liu, feel free to take it. Upgrading the Silver Corpses is indeed very beneficial, but with its current powers, it's already rather difficult for me to control them. If I were to make another breakthrough in my cultivation base, I most likely won't be able to suppress them, "the elderly man replied with furrowed brows.
"Don't worry, Fellow. Leave the matter of suppressing the silver corpse to me. You can come at this time tomorrow to collect it." Liu Ming smiled.
"If that's the case, then I'll thank you in advance." Elder Yan saw Liu Ming's confident expression and couldn't help but look forward to it.
He knew the strength of the Flying Silver Corpse better than anyone else. If it could advance to the Crystal Formation Intermediate Stage, it wouldn't be at a disadvantage even against a Crystal Formation Advanced Stage cultivator.
Elder Yan briefly described the situation of the Yunchuan Continent to Liu Ming before taking his leave.
Liu Ming closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before stepping into the secret room.
With a flash of black light, the Scorpion flew out from the Soul Nurturing Room and looked at the black gourd in Liu Ming's hand.
"What? Do you really like this gourd so much? Could it be that you recognize the material of this thing? "Liu Ming glanced at the Scorpion and said.
The reason why he wanted to ask Elder Yan for this thing was because of the Scorpion's telepathic message just now.
"I don't know, but this gourd has an aura that I like very much. I can feel that if I cultivate in it, in less than twenty years, my cultivation will be able to go a step further and reach the Jin Dan Advanced Stage." Scorpion said in a quite certain tone.
Liu Ming was shocked when he heard this. The Scorpion had only advanced to the Jin Dan Intermediate Stage for a few years, and he was confident that he could go a step further in twenty years?
However, with his understanding of the Scorpion's character, without absolute certainty, the Scorpion would never speak nonsense.
"Alright, since this thing is useful to you, you can stay in it and cultivate in the future." Liu Ming calmed his mind and said indifferently.
If the Scorpion's cultivation could go a step further, it would also be very beneficial to him, so he naturally would not stop it.
"Thank you, Master." A happy smile appeared on the Scorpion's face.
Liu Ming waved his hand and sent several spells into the black gourd. He grabbed at the void with his hand, and the Flying Silver Corpse flew out of the gourd and landed on the ground.
The Flying Silver Corpse suddenly opened its eyes. When it saw Liu Ming, fear flashed in its eyes. The wings on its back flapped, and it was about to fly into the sky.
At that moment, a giant silver pincer stretched out from the side and pressed down on the Flying Silver Corpse's body like lightning. A huge wave of power surged forth.
The Flying Silver Corpse did not have the slightest ability to resist, and it was forcibly pressed to the ground. At the same time, a terrifying spiritual pressure locked onto the Flying Silver Corpse.
The Flying Silver Corpse trembled, and it looked at the giant silver scorpion standing beside it in horror. It did not dare to move at all.
"Okay, Scorpion, just press it like this." Liu Ming instructed. He waved his hand, and there was a corpse of a giant black bird on the ground. It was the Jin Dan Evil Beast that he killed in the Abyss.
