"Thank you for Fellow Fan's kindness, but I have already made up my mind." Liu Ming slowly replied.
"Since you really want to learn alchemy from me, it's not impossible. However, I need to set three rules for you! "Fan Baizi saw that he was unable to persuade Liu Ming, so he furrowed his eyebrows and said with a cold tone.
"Fellow, go ahead and say it." Liu Ming said without batting an eyelid.
"First, even though I, Fan Baizi, am not number one in alchemy in the Da Xuan Country, I am not inferior to the alchemy masters of the five sects. Therefore, if you want to learn alchemy from me, this piece of Resting Soil is not enough. "Fan Baizi stared at Liu Ming and slowly said.
"Since one piece is not enough, then how about adding this one? This is all I have left, it's all here. " Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and shook his sleeve. Shockingly, another piece of golden clay that was smaller than the previous one was thrown out.
"So you still have some Resting Soil left! If you add these two pieces together, it would be five taels, barely enough to pay for learning alchemy. Second, the path of alchemy is extremely profound and your identity is special. Even though you are learning alchemy from me, we are still of the same generation. Also, I will only teach you for three years, how much you can learn will depend on your talent. Once you exceed this time limit, I will not teach you anything else. "Fan Baizi said seriously.
"I originally only planned on learning for a few years, three years is enough. However, I also have a request. Fellow Fan must swear on your heart's demon that you will not hide anything from me. "Liu Ming's eyes flashed as he replied seriously.
"Sure, no problem. I still have a bit of reputation and will not do anything that will disgrace my identity. Third, learning alchemy is a matter that consumes a lot of Spirit Medicine and Spirit Materials. When you practice alchemy here, everything you need can be provided, but you must pay Spirit Stones according to the market price. I will remind you that if you want to become a true alchemist, a lot of practice is a must. From a certain point of view, it is even more important than talent in alchemy. After all, having an exceptional talent in alchemy would only reduce the number of times you would need to refine pills. Therefore, this sum of spirit stones was definitely going to be a sky-high price. It was best to be mentally prepared. If you feel that there are no problems with the above three conditions, starting from today, you can come to my place for five days every month. I will specially take out half a day to guide you in alchemy. "Fan Baizi said with a straight face.
"There are only five days in a month. Isn't that too little?" Liu Ming hesitated for the first time.
"I usually have to study alchemy and refine pills. Being able to spare these five days is already my limit. If you don't agree, I can't do anything about it. "Fan Baizi shook his head and said.
"Alright, five days it is. Then it's settled between Fellow Fan and me. "Liu Ming's expression changed for a while before he let out a long breath and agreed.
"Very good. As long as you really have talent in alchemy and have the financial resources to continue practicing, with these three years, I believe that it will be enough for you to enter the door of alchemy. " Seeing this, Fan Baizi's face finally revealed a smile and he put away the Golden Essence Resting Soil in his hand.
In the following time, the white robed elder naturally didn't have any intentions of keeping Liu Ming. After warning him to not leak the news of him obtaining the Golden Essence Resting Soil, he let him leave.
After the time it takes to eat a meal, Liu Ming and Qian Chao walked out of Fan Baizi's cave and directly ignored the gazes of the people in the wooden pavilion as they descended the mountain.
Of course, before this, when the owner of the Hundred Spirit House heard that Fan Baizi really promised to guide Liu Ming in alchemy, he naturally stared blankly for a while and his gaze towards Liu Ming became more and more strange.
Just like this, after the two returned to the Qian House, Qian Chao immediately began to gather the alchemists of the Hundred Spirit House and began to inspect the Burning Blood Pill that was brought back.
After Liu Ming returned to his residence, he closed his door and began to cultivate.
In the next two days, he also didn't leave his residence as if he really planned to continue cultivating like this until the auction officially began.
However, on the third day, Elder Mian and Qian Chao both had serious expressions as they arrived at his residence.
"What, the carriage escorting the auction items has been trapped a hundred miles away from Xuanjing?" Liu Ming asked in shock.
"This time, in the group escorting the auction items, not only is there a group of Shadow Guards from the Third Marquis, there are also two guests from the branch store. In addition to the two other guests that I sent, there is a total of four Spirit Apostles. I originally thought that there would be no mistakes. However, I didn't think that the people that the other side gathered would be even stronger. The entire group is currently trapped in one place and is currently using one of the auction items to form a formation. If it wasn't for one of the guests raising a Spirit Bee and secretly flying out of the encirclement to inform us, we would probably still be in the dark. I'm afraid that we will still be in the dark. Without a doubt, the only person who would do such a thing is Fatty Mu from the Gathering Treasures Building. "Elder Mian said with a dark face.
"Then owner's meaning is …" Liu Ming's eyes flashed as he asked Qian Chao.
"In order to prevent the Gathering Treasures Building from creating a diversion, Elder Mian still needs to stay in the house to guard the storeroom. However, I have already sent people to the Third Marquis House to borrow two personal guards and a group of Shadow Guards from the Third Marquis. However, I'm afraid that this strength isn't enough, so I'll have to trouble Mister Qian to make a trip. No matter what method Mister Qian uses, as long as you can protect the auction items, you will have done a great service for the house. "Qian Chao had already thought of this beforehand.
"No problem. As a Hundred Spirit House Guest, I naturally won't just stand by and watch. When do I set off? "Liu Ming thought for a while before agreeing to it.
"When the Third Marquis's guards and Shadow Guards leave, I'm afraid that it will take a while. However, I'm afraid that they won't be able to hold on any longer. Mister Qian, please leave first. The Third Marquis's guards and Shadow Guards will also rush over to help. "Qian Chao said with some worry.
"Alright, then I'll leave now." Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded his head and agreed.
Qian Chao and Liu Ming were naturally overjoyed. Just as they were about to say something, a figure suddenly moved beside them. A small figure leaped onto Liu Ming and hugged his thigh.
"Uncle Ming."
It was Qian Ruping, the little girl. Her face was full of worry.
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter. I'll be back soon. Be obedient and stay here. "Seeing this, Liu Ming used his palm to rub the little girl's hair and smiled.
Perhaps it was because of her trust in Liu Ming, but Qian Ruping bit her lips and reluctantly let go.
"Niece Ruping, don't worry. Mister Qian is very resourceful and this time, there will be other people helping. There definitely won't be any problems." Seeing this, Qian Chao quickly said with a face full of smiles.
However, when Qian Ruping heard these words, which were similar in meaning, she curled her lips and ignored them.
Qian Chao could only laugh dryly and say no more.
Seeing this, Liu Ming smiled and gave the little girl a few more instructions. After asking about the exact location where the caravan was trapped, he left the house.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Ming sat cross-legged on a black cloud and flew along an official road in a certain direction outside of Xuanjing.
Although he had pushed his Fa Li to the limit, the speed of the black cloud was still very slow in his eyes.
Liu Ming secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that he really should find a suitable flying spirit weapon or cultivate some kind of fast flying escape technique.
As he thought about this, he took out a glyph from his chest. With a wave of the glyph, it immediately turned into dots of green light that entered the black cloud below.
"Pu!"
The originally sluggish black cloud suddenly sped up by more than twofold, and it continued onward.
However, Liu Ming felt his heart ache as he thought about buying the Spirit Stones for this Godly Movement Glyph. When he returned, he would definitely ask Qian Chao, the owner of the Hundred Spirit House, for it.
Half an hour later, he finally saw a few carriages full of goods lying on the ground in front of him on the official road. Around them were some ordinary goods such as cloth and porcelain. The horses that were pulling the carriages were all cut in half and lying in a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes twitched and he immediately made a hand sign. Instantly, the black cloud below him moved and shot towards the side of the tunnel.
However, when he had only flown for a few miles, there was a sound of air breaking from a pile of rubble below him. From within the rubble, a red and yellow streak of light flew out and headed straight for him.
Liu Ming coldly snorted and with a shake of his sleeve, a green short sword appeared in a flash. He then quickly slashed downwards at the two streaks of light.
"Pu! Pu!" Two streaks of misty azure Sword Qi swept out and struck the two streaks of light head-on.
After a series of explosions, the two streaks of green Sword Qi disappeared in a flash.
The two streaks of light flipped to the side a few times and revealed their original forms. Impressively, they were a red flying fork and a yellow short blade.
"Not good, this person is a high level Spirit Apostle and he has a Totem."
A cry of surprise came from the pile of rubble below. Following that, a figure flashed and two clouds, one grey and one white, shot into the sky and fled in different directions. They didn't even care about the two Practitioner Weapons.
"Hmph, since you've come, then don't leave."
Seeing this, Liu Ming's face suddenly revealed a layer of killing intent as he spoke. With a shake of the Cyan Moon Sword in his hand, he slashed three streaks of green Sword Qi at one of the people. At the same time, he made a hand sign with his other hand and with a wave, five green Wind Blades shot out in a flash.
Seeing this, the two people turned pale with fright. One of them hurriedly took out a small shield and threw it behind him while the other instantly crushed a Glyph that emitted spots of white light.
The small shield swayed with the wind and grew to about ten feet in size. The spots of white light formed a layer of light that protected the person who cast the spell.
However, in the next moment, the green Wind Blades all slashed onto the shield.
With a crisp sound, the shield was instantly cut into more than ten pieces. The owner of the shield in front let out a scream as he was cut into seven or eight pieces by the green Wind Blades.
At this time, the three streaks of green Sword Qi also violently slashed onto the light barrier on the other side, causing it to explode. A dense cold light immediately engulfed the person who cast the spell.
