Qing Gu's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes were extremely bright. He seemed to be unable to suppress the excitement in his heart any longer.
Liu Ming smiled and waved his hand to pass the green spear to Qing Gu.
Holding the spear in his hand, Qing Gu's expression suddenly changed. A powerful aura that was close to that of a grotto-heaven magic treasure was transmitted to his body.
Although he had not refined it yet, the power of this green spear was definitely above any demonic treasure he had seen before.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Master!" Qing Gu put the spear away and forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. He bowed to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming smiled faintly and waved his hand. Then, he flipped his hand and took out a square bronze mirror. The mirror emitted a faint white light, and one could tell at a glance that it was an extremely rare treasure.
This white ancient mirror was the treasure that the three Celestial Phenomenon Realm clansmen of the Liu Clan had used to resist Zhao Qianying's twelve Demon Restraining Rings on the ninth floor of the Devil Abyss Tower. Its defense was so strong that even Liu Ming was quite surprised.
Qing Fang and Yan Shan were extremely envious when they saw Qing Gu being given a green spear. At this moment, when they saw Liu Ming take out another treasure, they hurriedly looked over, their eyes filled with anticipation.
On the other hand, Qing Cong's expression was the same as usual. He knew his own body best. Demonic treasures and whatnot were just worldly possessions and were no longer important to him.
"Qing Fang, this mirror looks ordinary on the surface, but it actually contains a profound secret. It's a pretty good protective treasure. I'll give it to you." Liu Ming looked at Qing Fang and handed over the square bronze mirror.
"Thank you, Master!" Qing Fang was overjoyed. Under Yan Shan's envious gaze, he received the bronze mirror with both hands and quickly thanked Liu Ming when he sensed the pure waves of magic power emitted by the bronze mirror.
Then, Liu Ming took out a pair of short black awls and handed them to Yan Shan. This was Liu Zongyang's signature weapon, and its power was extraordinary. Back then, even the sharpness of the Green Demon Blade could not damage this treasure.
"This pair of short awls once belonged to a mighty figure in the Metaphysic Realm. I'll give them to you to use," Liu Ming said.
Hearing this, Qing Fang and the others' expressions changed. They looked at each other and became even more curious about Liu Ming's experience in the Devil Abyss.
Although Liu Ming said it casually, everyone could tell that there was going to be a bloodbath in his words.
Finally, Liu Ming looked at Qing Cong with a complicated gaze.
"Elder Qing Cong, here are some medicinal pills, some of which can prolong life. They should be of help to you."
As he spoke, he took out a few jade bottles and handed them to Qing Cong.
Hearing that there was medicine to prolong life, Qing Cong's expression lit up and he hurriedly took the jade bottle.
Pulling out the stopper of a black bottle, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. Inside the jade bottle was a purple medicinal pill. It was the size of a knuckle, and its surface flickered with light. It slowly rolled around inside the jade bottle as if it was alive.
"Purple Origin Pill!" Qing Cong murmured in surprise.
"Elder Qing Cong has a good eye," Liu Ming said, glancing at Qing Cong with praise.
This Purple Origin Pill was refined from the Purple Origin Fruit he'd brought out from the ruins of the Higher Realms. He'd refined two at the time and kept them until now.
Although this pill was extremely valuable, it wasn't very useful to him. Now, he could bestow it to Qing Cong. It should be able to prolong his life by over two hundred years.
After all, this person was once the patriarch of the Qing family. Not only did he worry about the entire Qing family, he was even willing to blow up the Jin Dan at the critical moment to perish together with the invaders. This moved Qing Cong.
Perhaps it was because the entire Qing family was isolated and their lifespans were shorter than ordinary people, but the members of the family were rather united and united against external enemies. This was extremely rare in the Myriad Demons Continent where everyone schemed against each other.
At this time, Qing Cong had already examined the medicinal pills in the other jade bottles. They were all precious medicinal pills that could strengthen one's vitality. A hint of joy immediately appeared on his face. He put away these medicinal pills and thanked Liu Ming.
Liu Ming sat on the main seat. His eyes flickered a little.
In fact, apart from these materials, he'd also brought out those ancient books from the Devil Abyss Tower. They were much more precious than these materials.
However, if he took them out casually and the news leaked out, perhaps even the Central Dynasty would have their eyes on him. This matter needed to be carefully considered.
Qing Gu and the others saw that Liu Ming had something to do, so they stepped forward and took their leave.
Liu Ming sat for a while longer before standing up. He came to a side door and waved his hand to form a few seals. After a burst of light, the side door slowly opened. Outside was a secluded small garden.
This was the best place for cultivation in the Qing family. Qing Gu and the others had already built a residence here for him.
The Devil Qi in the courtyard was dense. There were formations and prohibitions in the sky. On the ground, there was a garden, running water, and pavilions. There was a hint of elegance in the tranquility.
Liu Ming walked around this place. He saw that this place was equipped with an alchemy room, a refining room, and other common places for cultivation. There was also a decent-sized herb garden. It seemed that Qing Gu and the others had spent a lot of effort to build this place.
He nodded and arrived in front of a rather delicately decorated attic. This was his residence. It was also a place for cultivation.
He strode into the attic and came to a spacious secret room. He flicked his finger, and several green rays of light fell everywhere in the room. Then, a green barrier opened up.
After doing all this, Liu Ming sat down with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes and rested.
After a short while, he suddenly opened his eyes. He waved his hand, and a burst of dazzling yellow brilliance shone. Then, the brilliance disappeared without a trace after a flash. Twelve exquisite and translucent yellow pearls appeared in the surroundings. One could vaguely see six yellow emblems on the surface of each pearl.
Countless tiny yellow rays of light revolved around the yellow pearls. Then, a powerful wave of magic power spread out from the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers.
The entire room was like a giant rock that was thrown into the water, emitting a buzzing sound. It felt as though the entire secret room was shaking.
Right at this moment, there was a flash of black light on Liu Ming's body. Half of Mo Tian's devil body appeared and hovered in mid-air.
Liu Ming took a glance at Mo Tian and didn't have any reaction. He continued to control the twelve Pearl of Mountains and Rivers and seemed to be sensing something.
Mo Tian's complexion had already recovered. He looked at the twelve Pearl of Mountains and Rivers around Liu Ming, and his eyes seemed to be flickering with radiance.
"Your set of Pearl of Mountains and Rivers is truly of extraordinary quality. Each pearl is a sixth-grade grotto-heaven artifact. When all twelve of them are combined, the power is above my Celestial Tablet. Tsk tsk …" Mo Tian sighed with admiration.
Liu Ming took a glance at Mo Tian, and his eyes flickered a little. He muttered an incantation and struck out a technique with a wave of his hand. The twelve Pearl of Mountains and Rivers revolved and flew back into his sleeve, vanishing without a trace.
"I still have to thank you for this. If it wasn't for your brilliant refinement technique, even if all the materials were used up, it would be good if I could refine half of it." Liu Ming revealed a trace of reminiscence on his face and spoke indifferently.
His thoughts went back to the five years in the Black Sea. The difficulty of the refinement of the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers was beyond their expectations.
During these five years, Liu Ming and Mo Tian had used up all the items that they obtained in the Devil Abyss, as well as the water of the Netherworld River.
The remains of the grotto-heaven artifact in the Devil Abyss, Liu Zongyang's black spear, and the winged battle armor were all smelted and decomposed. With the addition of Liu Zongyang's and Kong Xiangyan's treasures, the 12 Pearl of Mountains and Rivers were barely upgraded.
However, everything was worth it. The 12 Pearl of Mountains and Rivers were refined into a grotto-heaven artifact, which had a lot of mystical uses. When all 12 of them were used at the same time, the might was so great that even Mo Tian was amazed.
After keeping the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers, Liu Ming thought for a moment and flipped his hand. A jade box appeared out of nowhere.
His right hand touched the lid of the box, and it immediately popped open. There was a black elixir lying inside.
This elixir was the size of a pigeon's egg and was lingering with black mist. There was a small black man sitting inside.
This elixir was none other than the Demon Essence Relic that Mo Tian had refined using the other Mystic Enlightening Skeleton that he had obtained.
Liu Ming's eyes flickered when he saw the elixir in the box.
According to the agreement between him and Mo Tian, this Devil Essence Relic was originally prepared for him to advance to the late-stage Celestial Phenomenon. However, he had already advanced successfully, and this Devil Essence Relic was no longer of use.
"You have completely stabilized your late-stage Celestial Phenomenon cultivation. You can keep this Devil Essence Relic for the future and consume it when you advance to the Mystic Opening Realm. It will have a certain advancement effect," said Mo Tian.
"Are you serious?" Liu Ming's spirit was instantly roused as he asked with an overjoyed expression.
"Of course. This Devil Essence Relic is refined from the skeleton of a Mystic Opening almighty. It contains some power of heaven and earth laws. It will naturally be of some help to advance to the Mystic Opening Realm. However, the help is extremely limited and will only increase the chances by 10%." Mo Tian muttered to himself for a moment before replying.
When Liu Ming heard this, he was a little disappointed. Even if there was only a 10% chance, this Devil Essence Relic was still an extremely precious item. He immediately kept it carefully.
Mo Tian frowned and seemed to have thought of something.
"There are only five years left until the tribute to the Central Imperial Family. What are your plans then?"
Liu Ming frowned when he heard this, and Zhao Qianying's face appeared in his mind. He had only met this woman by chance, and they had only known each other for a short period of time. How could he have foolishly made out with her?
At the same time, the figures of Calan, Ye Tianmei, and Yaoji also appeared in his mind, causing him to sigh.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and murmured,
"Regarding this matter, I can only go personally."
"Alright."
After Mo Tian heard Liu Ming's reply, his eyes flashed with radiance as he spoke. At the same time, there was a trace of undetectable joy that flashed by, but it instantly vanished.
He then floated to the side of the secret room, closed his eyes, and began to chant.
As the incantation echoed, the surrounding devil qi in the secret room converged towards his body, forming a devil qi whirlpool.
Liu Ming turned a blind eye to this scene. Ever since Mo Tian condensed half of his devil body, he was already able to absorb the surrounding devil qi to nourish his body.
After withdrawing his gaze, he formed a hand seal with his hand. Black aura surged out from his body, and 15 black rings flew out. They were the 15 Devil Restraining Rings.
As his hand seal changed, the 15 rings left circle after circle of afterimages in mid-air. They were big and small and had a myriad of changes. He seemed to be much more proficient in controlling them than when Zhao Qianying was controlling them.
