"Yes, Martial Uncle!" This time, Liu Ming agreed very straightforwardly.
"Very good. This old man will be a good person to the end. Here are two secret techniques that are suitable for the Ghost Spirit Method. Take them and cultivate them. In this way, when you fight with others, no one will doubt your cultivation method. " Seeing that Liu Ming was so tactful, the fat old man revealed a satisfied expression. He took out two leather scrolls from his sleeve and threw them over.
"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for your kindness!" After Liu Ming received the scrolls, he bowed and expressed his thanks.
"According to the sect's rules, anyone who obtains a secret technique from the Scripture Pavilion must swear an oath in the name of the heavens to not pass it on to a second person. Otherwise, the lightest punishment will be to cripple your Fa Li and imprison you for the rest of your life. This is our sect's contract with the heavens. Swear an oath to it. " The fat old man nodded his head. With a serious expression, he took out a strange book page that was surrounded by black gas. Its surface was covered with blood red words, making it look extremely mysterious.
Seeing this, Liu Ming hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"First, drip a drop of your blood essence onto it. Then, when I say one sentence, you just need to say one sentence to this item." As the fat old man spoke, he threw the book page in front of him. Then, he muttered an incantation with one hand and formed a hand sign.
Immediately, the book page turned into a cloud of black gas that floated in midair. From within it, waves of ghostly wails and wolf howls could be faintly heard. There was also a bloody smell that came from within, causing people to feel nauseous.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a white light flashed from the wall. The fat old man and Liu Ming appeared in front of Shi Chuan and the others.
"Martial Uncle Ruan, I have troubled you this time." Seeing this, Shi Chuan immediately smiled and thanked the fat old man.
"Since this old man is in charge of guarding the Scripture Pavilion, it is only right that I give you juniors some pointers. Alright, since this matter is over, everyone should quickly leave. This old man still needs to sleep for a while. " The fat old man waved his hand with an impatient expression. Then, with a flash of white light, he disappeared in front of them.
"Let's go. Martial Uncle Ruan's cultivation method is a little strange. He spent most of the year sleeping." Shi Chuan was not surprised at all. He led Liu Ming and the others out of the pavilion.
At this time, the sky outside had already darkened.
Thus, Shi Chuan once again casted a technique to condense a gray cloud. Then, he brought the group of people and flew towards the Nine Infants Mountain.
While chatting on the road, Liu Ming also found out that the cultivation technique Wan Xiao Qian had chosen was actually another cultivation technique of the Nine Infant Faction, the "Dark Sunflower Technique". He couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart.
It seemed that only his experience was special, but it was hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse.
But in that situation, he didn't have a second choice.
Martial Uncle Ruan had used both the carrot and the stick to force him to choose the "Dark Bone Method". Even if he had refused, he would have angered Martial Uncle Ruan and found another excuse to force him to cultivate this cultivation technique.
Martial Uncle Ruan was a Spirit Master with an extremely high position in the Sect. He was only a normal disciple. How could he not go along with Martial Uncle Ruan's wishes?
If that was the case, it would be better for him to be tactful and take the initiative.
However, no matter what Martial Uncle Ruan wanted him to cultivate the "Dark Bone Method", as long as the benefits of this cultivation technique were mentioned, it was naturally a good thing for him.
As for what would happen in the future, he would take it one step at a time.
Liu Ming faintly thought in his heart.
When Shi Chuan and the others asked Liu Ming what cultivation technique he had chosen, he naturally replied with the "Ghost Spirit Method".
This caused Shi Chuan and the others to be a little surprised. When they asked why, he naturally pushed all the blame onto the fat old man.
He said that Martial Uncle Ruan saw that Wan Xiao Qian's mental strength was strong and that it was more suitable for him to cultivate the Ghost Spirit Method.
Shi Chuan clearly knew that a strong mental strength would increase the effect of cultivating the Ghost Spirit Method. Although he was a little surprised, he still expressed that he understood.
After Xue Shan and Wan Xiao Qian knew the reason, they first revealed expressions of envy. However, after Shi Chuan explained the disadvantages of Liu Ming cultivating this cultivation technique, the two of them were a little speechless.
On one hand, his cultivation speed would be faster, but he would need to consider the following cultivation techniques. On the other hand, his cultivation speed would be normal, but he wouldn't need to worry about the following cultivation techniques. This was indeed not a good choice.
"It's a pity that Junior didn't enter the Faction of Corpse Refiners. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to worry about this." Shi Chuan said with some regret.
"No problem. At worst, I'll just save up some Contribution Points in the future and try to exchange for the following cultivation techniques." Liu Ming said with confidence.
"That's the only way. As long as it's not the unique cultivation technique of the Faction of Corpse Refiners, it should be possible to exchange for normal cultivation techniques." Shi Chuan nodded his head and said.
Just like this, the few of them returned to Nine Infant Mountain and were sent back to their residences by Shi Chuan.
After returning to the courtyard, Liu Ming cleaned up a little. Finally, he felt a little hungry. He took out some dry rations from his body and ate some before falling onto his bed.
After a whole day of the Opening Spirit Ceremony, in addition to the busyness that followed, Liu Ming was completely exhausted. He could no longer support himself and fell asleep.
This time, Liu Ming didn't know how long he slept. He only knew that when he opened his eyes again, it was already noon.
He lazily yawned, got up, and walked to the small courtyard outside the house.
There was a well that was dug by the disciples that lived there.
Liu Ming used the wooden bucket next to the well to fetch some water. Using his hands, he drank two mouthfuls. Immediately, he felt that the water was unusually sweet and had a refreshing feeling that seeped into his heart.
Liu Ming couldn't help but feel refreshed. He directly dipped his head into the bucket and washed his face. Feeling refreshed, he walked back into the house and sat down in front of a yellow wooden table.
After thinking for a while, he took out the two leather scrolls that the fat elder had given him and placed them on the table to carefully read.
"Soul Shackling Chain" and "Spirit Communication Technique"
One was a technique that extracted the soul of a ghost and refined it into a chain to fight against enemies. The other was a technique that allowed one to communicate with ghosts and control them.
These two secret techniques were extremely compatible with the Ghost Spirit Method.
As Liu Ming looked at them, he thought to himself.
However, when he looked at the official cultivation method recorded on the leather scrolls, he couldn't help but frown.
The two secret techniques surprisingly required the strength of a Beginning Spirit Apostle and a Middle Spirit Apostle to begin cultivating.
It seemed that before he could cultivate the first and second level of the Dark Bone Method, he shouldn't even think about cultivating these two secret techniques.
Liu Ming felt a trace of depression in his heart. He had no choice but to silently recite the Cultivation Method.
With his strong mental strength and talent for doing two things at once, this was naturally not a difficult task.
After four hours, he had completely memorized the mnemonic chant. In the future, as long as he recited it every once in a while, he could guarantee that he wouldn't forget a single word.
Liu Ming let out a long breath and put the two leather scrolls back into his clothes. He then took out the brocade book that recorded the Dark Bone Method and prepared to study it.
However, at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door in the courtyard. At the same time, Xue Shan's careless voice could be heard:
"Senior Bai, are you in there? I'm here with Junior Wan. "
Liu Ming was slightly startled, but he still quickly put the brocade book back and walked out of the house.
He saw that there were three people standing in front of the unlatched wooden door outside the small courtyard.
Two of them were Xue Shan and Wan Xiao Qian. The other person was a forty year old man with a horse face. His hair was only a few inches long and he wore the clothes of an outer disciple.
"Junior Xue, Junior Wan, why are you here? Also, this is …. "
Liu Ming took a few steps forward and opened the door as he asked with some confusion.
"Hehe, let me introduce you to Senior Brother Bai. This is my cousin, Xue Yuanhai. He entered the sect twenty years ago as an outer disciple. "Xue Shan grinned and pointed at the horse-faced man behind him as he introduced.
"So it's Brother Xue, sorry for the disrespect." Liu Ming was slightly startled, but he immediately reacted and cupped his hands.
"I don't dare! As long as one becomes a Spirit Apostle, we outer disciples usually have to call you Senior. In the future, I will still need to rely on you guys in the Sect. "Xue Yuanhai quickly returned the greeting and said with a face full of smiles.
"Cousin Yuanhai, you are my older brother. I can't let you call me Senior. However, Senior Bai and Junior Xue, you can do as you please. "Xue Shan explained on the side.
"Haha, since Brother Xue is Junior Xue's elder, Junior Wan and I naturally can't be rash. How about this, Junior Xue and I will call you Brother Xue. "Liu Ming said with a smile.
Wan Xiao Qian also agreed to the side.
"Since it's like this, I will call the two of you" Junior Wan "and" Senior Bai "." Xue Yuanhai declined a few more times, but seeing that he couldn't decline anymore, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"Senior Bai, my cousin is also an outer disciple of the Nine Infant Faction, so he is very familiar with everything in the mountain. Yesterday, although Senior Shi explained a few things about the Sect to us, it was too short and he didn't explain it in detail. So this time, I found Junior Wan and Senior Bai to listen to Brother Xue explain the taboo things in the Sect and in the mountain. This way, we can avoid some of the mistakes that newcomers often make. "Xue Shan said with a smile.
"Junior is really thoughtful. Brother Xue, please come in. "Hearing this, Liu Ming's eyes lit up and he moved aside to let the three in.
After a while, the four of them entered the room and sat around the table.
After more than two hours, Xue Shan, Wan Xiao Qian, and the others left with a heavy expression.
With a smile on his face, Liu Ming sent them out of the courtyard. Once he returned to the room, the smile on his face disappeared.
"I didn't think that the difference in treatment between a Direct Disciple and a Normal Disciple would be so big. The competition between Core Disciples is also so fierce that I can even lose my life. It seems that just gaining a foothold in the Sect is not an easy task. However, if I want to have enough resources to cultivate, I must fight for a spot as a Core Disciple. "Liu Ming muttered to himself and began to ponder.
"Whatever, I should first practice the Dark Bone Method to the first and second level. If I want to compete for a Core Disciple, I need to be at least a Middle Spirit Apostle. Once I have strength, I will be able to protect myself in the Sect. "After a while, he let out a long breath as if he had thought through something.
