However, before he started training, he still needed to go to the Nine Infant Mountain to get some Pills of Fasting and some simple spell books.
According to Xue Yuanhai, these things were all free but they were necessary for a Beginning Spirit Apostle to train.
After Liu Ming made his decision, he immediately changed into the dustproof clothes and left his residence. He followed a winding path and headed straight for the mountain peak.
On the way, he met a few Outer Sect Disciples who were either carrying large bags or bags of various sizes up and down the mountain.
When these people saw the light green dustproof clothes on Liu Ming, they all revealed respectful expressions and moved to the side, letting Liu Ming pass first before they dared to continue on their way.
It seemed that in the Barbarian Ghost Sect, the difference between a Spirit Apostle and an Outer Sect Disciple was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The path to the top of the mountain was quite steep. Even though he had trained in a secret technique and started from the middle of the mountain, it still took him around an hour to reach the top of the mountain.
The moment Liu Ming's feet stepped into the plaza at the top of the mountain, he made up his mind. After converting a bit of Fa Li, the first thing he would learn was the Soaring Sky Technique.
Otherwise, if he went to another mountain that was slightly further away, a round trip would take half a day and it would be too inconvenient.
While Liu Ming was pondering as he walked on the plaza, a pair of young women walked toward him.
One of the girls with a voluptuous figure looked at him and suddenly smiled sweetly.
"Eh, isn't this Junior Bai? Oh, Junior, you must be going to the External Affairs Hall to get something. "
Liu Ming paused for a moment before realizing that the two girls in front of him were the most beautiful girls he had seen yesterday at the Nine Infant Sect. He immediately stopped in his tracks and hurriedly greeted them:
"So it's two Seniors. I was indeed going to the External Affairs Hall to get some Pills of Fasting."
"Hehe, looks like Junior Bai doesn't know our names. Remember, I am Gu Mei Shan and this is your Senior Zhu, Zhu Lian Xing." Gu Mei Shan said with a smile.
When the tall woman heard her companion mention her name to the young man in front of her, she couldn't help but blush slightly. She then graciously greeted Liu Ming as well.
"I will definitely remember the names of the two Senior Sisters. I definitely won't dare to forget." Liu Ming replied with a serious expression.
"Alright, Junior Martial Brother Bai, hurry to the Foreign Affairs Hall. The hall is in that direction. If we are late, we might have to wait until tomorrow to receive the Pill of Fasting. "Gu Mei Shan was startled when she heard this. However, her expression immediately returned to normal as she spoke.
Following which, the woman pulled Zhu Xinglian with one hand and performed the Soaring Sky Technique with the other.
After a while, the two of them stepped on clouds and flew away.
Liu Ming waited until the two girls were far away before he withdrew his gaze and walked in the direction that Gu Mei Shan had mentioned.
After bypassing a few buildings, he arrived in front of a hall with a plaque that read "Foreign Affairs Hall".
Although it was called a hall, it was just a slightly larger hall.
When Liu Ming walked in, he saw a male wearing the clothing of an outer sect disciple sitting behind a table. His head was lowered as he used a shiny golden abacus to calculate something. Next to him was a thick account book.
"Ah, you must be the new senior. Are you here to receive the Pill of Fasting?" The male's reaction was extremely fast. Once he saw Liu Ming walk in, he immediately stopped what he was doing and immediately stood up with a face full of smiles.
"That's right. I heard that all disciples in the mountain can receive three months worth of Pills of Fasting for free. "Liu Ming said without hesitation.
"Yes, please take out your nameplate. After I record it, you can receive the Pill of Fasting in one go." The middle aged man didn't dare to be slow as he replied.
"Okay." Liu Ming didn't hesitate as he took out his nameplate from his sleeve and handed it over.
The middle aged man flipped through the account book to a certain page and took the nameplate before lightly pressing it.
Immediately, the light silver words "Bai Chong Tian" appeared on the page.
"So it's senior Bai. This is the Pill of Fasting for three months. If you take one at a time, you won't need to eat for three days. You will only need to drink a little water." The middle aged man hurriedly took out a palm-sized gray bag from a wooden shelf filled with various items and respectfully handed it over along with the nameplate.
Liu Ming took the bag and the nameplate. He loosened the string at the mouth of the bag and poured the contents into his hand. A light yellow pill rolled out of the bag and emitted a faint fragrance.
It was exactly the same as Xue Yuanhai's description of the Pill of Fasting.
Liu Ming nodded his head and put the two items away. After thinking for a bit, he asked the man,
"Oh, right. I want to go get a normal spell book. Where do I need to go?"
"Oh, senior, if you want to go to the Spirit Law Division, you just need to follow the small path in front of the door and turn a corner." The middle aged man said very carefully.
Hearing this, Liu Ming let out a smile and thanked him. He then walked out of the house and headed straight for the Spirit Law Division.
… …
"You can only borrow a maximum of three beginner spell books at one time. Each book costs one spirit stone." Standing in front of Liu Ming was a girl as thin as a bamboo pole. She spoke in a harsh tone.
"Senior, didn't you say that the books are free?" Liu Ming heard the girl in front of him, who was also a Spirit Apostle, and was slightly startled.
"Hmph, one book costs only one Spirit Stone. What's the difference between that and free? If you are really short on money, then borrow two books at once. It won't be too late to borrow them next month when you have more Spirit Stones. " The skinny girl snorted and said impatiently. She did not give Liu Ming any face at all.
"Okay, then I'll borrow these three books first." There was a trace of anger in Liu Ming's voice, but he did not show it on his face. He raised his hand and handed over the three books, three Spirit Stones, and his nameplate.
The so-called Spirit Stones were three rectangular crystals that were as thick as a finger. They were cut to the same size and emitted a soft white light.
The skinny girl casually took the three books. After looking at the cover, she expressionlessly said:
"Soaring Sky Technique, Flame Technique, and Condensing Water Technique. You must return them within a month."
As soon as she finished speaking, she used Liu Ming's nameplate to record his identity and threw the three books back. The three Spirit Stones were also instantly put away by the girl.
Liu Ming did not want to stay here any longer. After taking the nameplate and the books, he immediately turned around and walked out of the building.
However, not long after he walked out of the door, he met two people who were walking in the direction of the Spirit Law Division.
The person in front had a straight face. It was Shi Chuan. The person behind him was the Direct Disciple, the red-haired youth, Yu Cheng.
"Hey, Junior Bai, you've already picked out your books? I've come to bring Junior Yu to pick out a few spell books. "Shi Chuan said with a smile when he saw Liu Ming.
The red-haired youth also greeted Liu Ming.
"Senior, do I still need Spirit Stones to borrow books from the Spirit Law Division?" Liu Ming returned the greeting with a face full of smiles and asked casually.
"What, Senior Zhao is asking a disciple to borrow books to read? This is too outrageous! Junior, please don't blame her. Senior Zhao has some history with Teacher Gui, so sometimes she goes overboard. However, for Teacher Gui's sake, please don't take it to heart. Oh right, how many Spirit Stones did Senior Zhao take from you? I'll pay you back. " Shi Chuan's face showed a trace of anger, but he immediately let out a bitter laugh and took out a few Spirit Stones to give to Liu Ming.
"Senior, what kind of person do you think I am? This little bit of Spirit Stones is nothing to me. If it turns out that Senior Zhao and Teacher Gui have some history, then I won't take it to heart. Senior and Junior Yu, I'll take my leave first. "Liu Ming waved his hand and left.
Shi Chuan looked at Liu Ming's disappearing figure and sighed. He brought Yu Cheng back to the Spirit Law Division.
When Liu Ming returned to his residence, it was already afternoon.
He didn't have the slightest intention of resting. Instead, he carried a bucket of fresh water and entered a room that had nothing but a praying mat. He sat down cross-legged.
He reached out his hand and took out the small pouch that contained the Pills of Fasting. He poured out a pill and threw it into his mouth.
The seemingly hard Pill of Fasting immediately melted into a liquid that flowed into his stomach.
Following that, a warm feeling spread throughout his body, and his stomach felt slightly bloated.
After sensing it, Liu Ming was immediately overjoyed.
The miraculous effects of the Pills of Fasting were beyond his expectations. If this was the case, then he wouldn't have to worry about eating anymore. All he had to do was focus on his cultivation.
Thinking about this, Liu Ming moved his arm and took out the brocade book that contained the Dark Bone Method. He began to carefully read it from the beginning.
Although Liu Ming had spent most of his time on Savage Island, there were many slayers on the island who were well-read. In addition, he had the talent of "Multitasking at Once", so he had a lot of knowledge. He was probably not any less knowledgeable than the famous scholars in the outside world.
But even so, after reading through the Dark Bone Method once, he felt that every sentence was profound and every word was profound. It was impossible to comprehend it in a short amount of time.
Liu Ming was secretly shocked. After his expression became serious, he used his fingers to press the temples on both sides of his head. He took a deep breath and used his talent of multitasking at the same time. His entire consciousness was split into two. One half continued to comprehend the technique while the other half fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after, Liu Ming's consciousness was completely immersed in the method and he was unaware of anything outside.
After an unknown amount of time, a strong feeling of hunger came from his stomach and Liu Ming finally woke up. He stood up and immediately felt his head sink. His vision darkened and he almost fell to the ground.
His expression changed greatly and he hurriedly took out a Pill of Fasting and swallowed it. He then grabbed the wooden bucket next to him and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Only then did his complexion improve.
But at this time, Liu Ming still felt a splitting headache. It was a clear sign that he had used up too much of his mental energy.
His previous comprehension had unknowingly taken five days and five nights. If it wasn't for the fact that his stomach was so hungry, he might have still been immersed in comprehension.
This Dark Bone Method was truly strange!
