After all, the news of the Life and Death Trials in the secret realm had already spread.
As a new disciple of the top ten disciples, Liu Ming's gains in the secret realm were even greater than Yang Gan's. This naturally attracted countless envious gazes.
However, when Liu Ming returned to the Nine Infants Mountain with the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader, other than going to see Gui Ru Quan and the other two once, he immediately returned to his residence and did not come out.
This naturally caused many people who wanted to build a relationship with him or had other ideas to be greatly disappointed.
Currently, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged in the room. His two hands were constantly forming hand signs as he quickly refined a silver chain that coiled around his arm. At the same time, black gas rolled around his body and one could faintly see black tentacles dancing around.
After an unknown amount of time, he let out a long breath and released his hand sign. The black gas on his body was sucked back into his body. Then, he patted the silver chain and layers of inscriptions immediately appeared in the air. There were impressively seventeen inscriptions.
Seeing this, Liu Ming could not help but smile.
Although this Demon Subduing Chain was only a Middle Tier Totem, the inscriptions on it were clearly different from the other Totems he had seen before. It was almost several times more complex and mysterious. Furthermore, the entire chain was incomparably tough. Even if he used the Cyan Moon Sword to cut it, it would not leave a single mark. Furthermore, there were faint traces of strange coldness emitted from the chain.
It seemed that this item was definitely not as simple as a Middle Tier Totem. Otherwise, how could it control the Flying Head?
When Liu Ming thought about the matter of the Demon, his expression slightly changed.
Once he returned to the Sect, he naturally went to the Secret Techniques Pavilion on the mountain and specially found some books related to Demons to study them again.
After he finished reading, he finally understood how lucky he was to be able to subdue the Flying Head that day.
In the history of the Nine Infants Faction, there were people who tried to subdue the Flying Head at the Spirit Apostle Stage. However, they all ended up having their blood sucked dry and died.
Back then, Shi Chuan was only able to forcefully control this demon because he relied on Gui Ru Quan and the others to help him suppress it. In addition, he had the Demon Subduing Chain, which had a special restraining effect on demons. In essence, it could not be considered as truly subduing the Flying Head.
According to the records in the ancient books, the so-called devils were actually extremely evil creatures born from negative energy such as filthy Qi. They were originally invisible and had no body, somewhat similar to evil spirits and demon souls. However, through various means such as devouring each other, they gradually became stronger and had a body.
And because the growth of the demons was uncertain, they naturally had all sorts of strange appearances, with all sorts of shapes and sizes. However, some types of demons were still relatively common and often appeared in front of people. That was why they were given names and were divided into nine ranks according to the cultivator's strength.
A Tier One Demon was about as strong as a Beginner Spirit Apostle.
Second Tier Demons had the strength of a Middle Spirit Apostle.
A Third Grade Demon would have the strength of a Peak Late Spirit Apostle.
A fourth grade demon would have the strength of the early stage of the Condensation Period.
Fifth-grade eyebrows were equivalent to the strength of a Liquid Middle Stage Alchemist.
In this way, when it came to a Tier Nine Demon, it could fight with a Crystal Level Alchemist at the Peak and not be at a disadvantage.
Of course, after the strength of these demons greatly increased, they could still advance to a higher rank. However, at that time, their forms and names would naturally be different.
And according to the description in the ancient books, the Flying Head was a Tier Four Demon, while the most powerful Jiu Ying in the Barbarian Ghost Sect was a Tier Seven Demon. And the Jiu Ying had actually evolved from the Flying Head.
When Liu Ming saw these records in the ancient books, he was naturally shocked and confused.
Although the Flying Head had performed very well in the Secret Realm, it did not have the strength of a Liquid Level Alchemist no matter how he looked at it.
And between the Flying Head and the Jiu Ying, there was a gap of two whole ranks. The former could actually evolve into such a terrifying existence like the latter.
However, all of this was naturally not something he could figure out before he cultivated the relevant secret method and could completely communicate with the Flying Head.
And naturally, he would not be stupid enough to directly ask Gui Ruquan and the others about this kind of question.
Otherwise, once they knew that the Flying Head and the Demon Subduing Beasts had fallen into his hands, they would most likely demand them back.
And to him, these two items were good items that could greatly increase his strength. Strong strength was the fundamental guarantee for a peaceful life. Naturally, he would not want to return them.
When Liu Ming thought of this, he could not help but think back to the situation where he was summoned by Gui Ruquan and the others.
When the three of them knew that Shi Chuan was unable to walk out of the Secret Realm and that Liu Ming had shone in the Life and Death Trials, even surpassing Yang Gan in the end, the expressions on their faces were abnormally complicated. However, on the whole, they were naturally happy.
After all, with Liu Ming's performance this time, it was enough to let the Jiu Ying side walk out of the bottom of the Sect.
The three of them said a few words of encouragement to Liu Ming and rewarded him with a few pills on the spot. They also hinted that they would help him get back the tenth of the rewards from the Sect, so that he did not need to worry about this matter.
When they were in the cave at the entrance of the Secret Realm, the resources that the disciples handed over, along with the Sumeru Handkerchief, were all taken away by the Barbarian Ghost Sect Leader. As for the tenth of the rewards and other things, they naturally had to return to the Sect for a discussion before giving them out.
Hearing this, Liu Ming naturally thanked them profusely.
However, he did find a few secret techniques that could communicate with demons. However, most of these techniques could only be learned by Gui Ruquan and the others personally.
Therefore, he could only turn his attention to a secret technique called "Demonic Heart Method".
This secret technique could be considered a technique that could communicate with demons and could barely be considered a type of mental secret technique. After using it, not only could it communicate with demons, it could also protect one's mind to a certain extent, allowing one to avoid a certain degree of mental secret technique attacks.
This kind of secret technique that was perfect for both sides was something that normal people naturally did not have the qualifications to learn. Thus, they could only spend a certain amount of Contribution Points in the Scripture Pavilion to learn the cultivation method.
Currently, he had no Contribution Points on him, so he naturally put this matter aside for now.
In the next few days, he could only wait for the Sect's reward to arrive while he was busy refining the Demon Subduing Chain.
For normal Spirit Apostles, because they were not Spirit Masters, they were unable to condense their consciousness and could only control one Totem at a time.
However, for Liu Ming, because he had the talent of multitasking, he could control two Totem at the same time effortlessly.
In this way, when he faced an enemy, he could control the Cyan Moon Sword and the Demon Subduing Chain at the same time. Presumably, there would be very few people below the Spirit Master level who could be his opponent.
As for the Jade Shadow Needle, because the number of layers was too low, under normal circumstances, it could only be used as a trump card. When facing an enemy, its effect would not be too great.
Just as Liu Ming was thinking, a pleasant female voice came from outside the room:
"Junior Bai, are you there? Master Gui is summoning you up the mountain. It seems that the Sect's reward has arrived."
Liu Ming felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. After thinking for a while, he came to a sudden realization and hurriedly opened his mouth to reply:
"Is that Senior Gu outside? I'll come out now."
As soon as he finished speaking, his arm shook and the silver chain that was wrapped around it immediately shot out like a snake and disappeared into his sleeves.
At this time, he stood up and pushed open the door to walk out.
Outside the courtyard stood a beautiful and voluptuous girl. It was Gu Mei Shan, the girl who attracted a lot of attention in the Nine Infant Faction.
"Junior Bai, I haven't congratulated you yet. Haha, junior has done a great service for the Sect and our Nine Infant Faction. Your future will definitely be limitless. Who knows, Master Gui might even directly promote you to the Eldest Senior of our faction. " Once the girl saw Liu Ming walk out, she immediately giggled and spoke. Her attitude was actually quite intimate.
Liu Ming was slightly startled at first, but immediately reacted with a smile and politely replied:
"Senior, you must be joking. This time, I was only able to make a small contribution by luck. How could I be compared to the other seniors?"
"Junior Brother Bai, what you're saying isn't very sincere. You're so young, yet you treat people like an old man in his seventies or eighties. This is a little too boring. "Hearing what was said, Gu Mei Shan blinked her eyes and had a somewhat disapproving look on her face.
After Liu Ming smiled, he didn't say anything else.
Gu Mei Shan had no other choice but to glare at Liu Ming before taking the lead and flying towards the peak of the mountain.
Liu Ming formed a hand sign and followed closely behind her.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he appeared in the main hall of the Nine Infant Mountain.
In that hall, other than Gui Ru Quan, Martial Aunt Zhong, and Zhu Chi, the Spirit Poison Faction's Taoist Priest Zhang was also sitting there.
"This disciple pays his respects to Master and Martial Uncles!" Liu Ming first bowed towards Martial Aunt Zhong before bowing towards the others.
"From today onwards, you may rise. This time, we called you up because your rewards have already been distributed. Furthermore, it was personally delivered by Martial Uncle Zhang. "Martial Aunt Zhong's gaze towards Liu Ming was extremely amiable.
This was not surprising. Not long ago, she had accepted Liu Ming as a Direct Disciple. Now, he had already made such a great contribution to the Sect and the Nine Infant Faction, causing her to gain a lot of face.
Martial Aunt Zhong's heart was incomparably satisfied. She also unconsciously felt a bit of affection towards Liu Ming.
"This time, our sect's disciples who participated in the Secret Realm Trials have gained a lot of face for our Barbarian Ghost Sect. I'm sure that the Sect Leader and the others won't be too stingy with their rewards." Gui Ru Quan said to the middle-aged Taoist Priest with a smile.
"Senior Gui must be joking. Martial Nephew Bai is a disciple that Martial Uncle Yan specifically mentioned to reward. How could the Sect Leader not reward him generously? Don't worry, according to what I know, Martial Nephew Bai's reward is probably not inferior to Martial Nephew Yang's. "The middle-aged Taoist Priest replied seriously.
"If that's the case, I will first thank the Sect Leader on behalf of Cong Tian." When Martial Aunt Zhong heard this, her face revealed a bit of happiness.
"Hehe, it won't be too late to say thank you words after Martial Nephew Bai has seen the rewards." The middle-aged Taoist Priest laughed as he spoke.
