At this time, Liu Ming suddenly made a hand sign with one hand. The formation on the ground suddenly lit up, and silver runes appeared.
At the same time, the blood fog circled around the golden bead and disappeared into it.
In the faint golden light, more than ten new blood marks suddenly appeared on the surface of the bead. They vaguely formed an extremely complicated formation with the other blood marks.
Just as the entire blood-colored formation was formed, the golden bead shone brightly and started to dance around Liu Ming with a buzzing sound.
The originally lifeless bead suddenly seemed to have come to life.
"It's done!"
Seeing this, Liu Ming's spirits were lifted.
In the next moment, without him casting any technique, the bead hit his body with a "whoosh".
"Pu!"
The moment the bead touched Liu Ming's body, it turned into a golden liquid. Then, with a roll, it turned into another ugly looking golden armor.
It looked extremely thin, but it covered half of his body.
Liu Ming looked at the golden armor on his body and moved his limbs. He could not help but frown slightly.
He suddenly patted his body with one hand, and the golden armor melted into liquid again. In an instant, it split into two and flowed into his hands.
Then, there was a flash of light, and two golden fists appeared out of thin air.
When Liu Ming clenched his fists, he immediately felt a strange energy wrap around each of his fingers. It actually gave him a warm feeling.
He took a deep breath and suddenly moved his arm. A golden fist hit the ground with a blur.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out!
The entire secret room shook, and a golden wave of air immediately swept out. A large pit that was half a foot deep suddenly appeared on the ground.
After Liu Ming retracted his arm, he looked at the golden fist and then at the large pit on the ground. He could not help but reveal a shocked expression.
One had to know that because he had taken out the First Yuan Heavy Water, the secret room had already been reinforced.
Under such circumstances, his attack was still able to display such astonishing destructive power. This meant that the power of his attack had at least doubled from before.
After the pair of fists were wrapped in a layer of Glazed Magma Gold, their strength increased tremendously.
Liu Ming still didn't seem to dare to believe this power. He took a deep breath and punched the ground with his other golden fist.
Another loud explosion rang out, and another crater that was about the same depth appeared in front of him.
This time, Liu Ming's face was full of joy.
But after thinking for a moment, he shook one of his fists slightly, and the golden color quickly spread along his wrist.
In the blink of an eye, his entire arm was wrapped in a thin layer of gold.
A green light flashed in Liu Ming's other hand, and the Cyan Moon Sword was pulled out from his sleeve.
With a flash of cold light, the dagger slashed across the golden arm.
However, after the sound of metal rubbing against each other, the golden arm remained unscathed.
Seeing this, Liu Ming raised his eyebrows. With a shake of his wrist, the Cyan Moon Sword turned into a ray of cold light and slashed at his arm.
"Dang!"
The green light and golden light intertwined, and the green dagger bounced off, only leaving a faint sword mark on his arm.
This time, Liu Ming only nodded.
He had only used half of his strength in that attack, and he did not imbue any Fa Li into the sword.
It could be seen that after the Glazed Magma Gold became thinner, it was only barely enough to defend against swords and knives.
But when he raised his hands and released a fireball and a blue icicle, a happy expression appeared on his face.
The Glazed Magma Gold's ability to defend against the power of ice and fire was very shocking.
The fireball and the blue icicle did not seem to make the golden arm feel any heat or coldness.
But Liu Ming's test did not end there. He held the green dagger in his hand horizontally in front of him, and a layer of golden liquid surged onto the blade, instantly wrapping it in a layer.
The green dagger suddenly became a bright gold color.
With a shake of his wrist, a ray of golden light slashed at the same golden arm, and a sword mark that was slightly deeper than the previous one appeared.
"It's only 10% stronger than before. No wonder the ancient records said that the Glazed Magma Gold's amplification of a Body Refinement Cultivator's body is far greater than the amplification of weapons and totem items. "Seeing this, Liu Ming muttered, but his face did not show much surprise.
With a shake of the dagger in his hand, the golden liquid instantly surged back into his palm.
This time, Liu Ming put away the dagger and closed his eyes slightly. The golden liquid immediately spread along his arm, sticking close to his skin, and began to spread throughout his entire body.
After an unknown amount of time, when he opened his eyes again, starting from his neck all the way to his thighs, it was astonishingly bright gold.
Liu Ming lowered his head and looked at his current appearance, and could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
It seemed that the amount of Glazed Magma Gold was still somewhat insufficient for the current him.
Previously in the underground cavern, the reason why the ghostly being that was hiding in the Vengeful Corpse was able to cover its entire body with the Glazed Magma Metal was because its flesh and blood had been reduced to nothingness, leaving only its skeleton.
But no matter what, with this treasure on him, it was equivalent to having an additional layer of defense. At a critical moment, it might be able to save his life.
Thinking like this, Liu Ming also expelled the trace of pity in his heart. With a thought, his body flashed with a golden light, and the layer of gold quickly faded away. It once again turned into a golden ball that floated in front of him.
This time, he only thought for a moment before grabbing the ball and pressing it against his wrist.
Immediately, the ball transformed into a thick, bright gold bracelet. Regardless of its size, it was exactly the same as the Tiger's Bite Bracelet on his other wrist. The only difference was that the color was slightly different.
Liu Ming shook his wrist and felt the weight of the golden bracelet. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a medicinal pill and consumed it. He then closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing.
Three days later, when Liu Ming had more or less recovered the blood essence he had lost from refining the Glazed Magma Gold, he finally began to absorb the metal attribute essence from the Great Tungsten Steel Ring and condense his own sword embryo spirit.
At this moment, he was still sitting cross-legged in the secret room, but there was an additional black ring between his two hands that were placed flat in front of his chest.
Liu Ming himself was chanting, and black gas surged from his body. More than ten blurry tentacles danced wildly, vaguely displaying some sort of technique.
Following the sound of the technique, a crystal light would fly out from the black ring every once in a while and float towards Liu Ming's body, disappearing in a flash.
In Liu Ming's Dantian, there was already a white ball of light the size of an egg that was slowly rotating. Within it, there were already dozens of crystal lights that were faintly flickering with different strengths.
Five days later, he still maintained his original posture and did not stop chanting the technique. However, the ring between his two hands had already turned into a black-grey color. Moreover, it would take almost fifteen minutes for a crystal light to fly out from it with great difficulty.
The white ball of light in Liu Ming's body no longer existed. In its place was a hazy white sword shadow that was about an inch tall, flashing with an extremely weak crystal light.
After the crystal light that flew out from the ring entered his Dantian, it directly disappeared into the sword shadow in a flash.
Seven days later, the black-grey ring had completely turned into a greyish-white color. The small white sword in Liu Ming's Dantian was also much clearer than before. However, it still gave off a faintly discernible feeling, as if it could collapse at any time.
Suddenly, a "bang" sound rang out.
The Great Tungsten Steel Ring finally shattered in a flash, turning into a pile of white fragments that flew away.
At this moment, Liu Ming's chanting finally stopped. He immediately swept his mental energy through his body, licked his somewhat chapped lips, and revealed a trace of a smile on his face.
The entire process of extracting the Metal Essence from the Great Tungsten Steel Ring did not allow for even the slightest pause. Otherwise, the entire technique would fail.
Fortunately, with his current cultivation, he could forcefully endure these few days without eating or drinking. However, at this moment, he naturally could not help but feel parched and his body felt a little weak.
Fortunately, this Great Symbol Sword Embryo Spirit had already been initially condensed. In the future, he only needed to slowly nurture it.
According to what the Great Symbol Sword Technique said, although this Sword Embryo Spirit could not be released to harm the enemy for a short period of time, it was still very beneficial to the cultivation of other Sword Cultivator techniques. For example, with this Sword Embryo Spirit, the probability of comprehending Sword Intent would be much higher than normal people. In the future, the power of the Sword Qi released with the Sword Embryo Spirit as the foundation would also increase.
In a good mood, Liu Ming ate a few Fasting Pills and drank some water. He then returned to his bedroom, put on his clothes, and fell asleep on the bed.
Although his mental energy was now almost as strong as a Spirit Master's, after not resting for such a long time, he felt that it was too much.
In the following month, other than going to Fan Baizi's place to learn alchemy twice, Liu Ming spent the rest of his time in his cave painstakingly refining his Sword Embryo Spirit.
This thing had just formed in his body and was still a bit unstable. He had to quickly solidify it before he could truly feel at ease.
At this moment, the news of the Sea Race invading the Yun Chuan Continent and even occupying Hai Yue and a few other coastal countries finally reached Xuanjing through a few Loose Cultivators.
Immediately, the entire Xuanjing was in an uproar.
In a short few days, the remaining Loose Cultivator factions in Xuanjing immediately dispersed by a small half. Moreover, even more Loose Cultivators fled Xuanjing.
As for the underground market in Xuanjing, no matter if it was Pills, Glyphs, Practitioner Weapons, or Totems, all of their prices changed three times a day. However, it still caused many Loose Cultivators to fight over them.
After a month, when Liu Ming once again came out of seclusion, there were very few shops that were still open in the underground market.
However, to Liu Ming, all of this did not bother him too much.
He only spent some time to secretly scout Xuanjing. After not finding any traces of the Sea Race, he once again returned to his cave to continue his seclusion.
