Although Liu Ming was looked down upon as if he was a country bumpkin, he did not get angry. Instead, he entered his field without hesitation and chose ten of the most plump Spirit Grains. He used the standard Talisman Sword that he carried with him to cut them down.
He then took out a piece of yellow cloth from his bosom and carefully wrapped the Spirit Grains. Then, he walked into the dense forest.
Two hours later, Liu Ming, who had completed his mission, returned to his residence.
He sat down at the table and opened the bag. He spread out the Spirit Grains and carefully examined them one by one.
Each of these Spirit Grains was half a foot long and the rice grains on them were the size of soybeans. However, there were only seven or eight grains on each Spirit Grain. The outer shell of the Spirit Grain was bright and shiny, as if it was made of pure gold.
After Liu Ming looked at it for a while, he raised his hand and broke off a rice grain from the Spirit Grain. He placed it under his nose and lightly rubbed it.
The outer shell broke off like paper, revealing the green and translucent rice grain. He placed it under his nose and lightly sniffed it. A faint fragrance wafted out.
Liu Ming was slightly happy. Without hesitation, he went to another room and found a small earthen jar. After pouring some clean water into it, he removed the outer shell of the Spirit Grain and placed the rice grains into it.
He held the earthen jar up with one hand and made a single-handed sign with the other. At the same time, he muttered an incantation.
"Peng!" A ball of scarlet flames surged out of his palm and engulfed the small earthen jar and began to burn fiercely.
It was the Flame Spell that he had just learned.
After a while, a strong fragrance of rice came out of the earthen jar, making one's appetite increase.
Liu Ming controlled the flame to become smaller. After a while, when he felt that it was about time, he completely put away the spell with a "pu chi" sound. He then quickly placed the boiling hot earthen jar on the table and opened the lid.
A layer of white rice that was as clear as snow immediately appeared in front of him.
Liu Ming took out a wooden spoon that he had already prepared. Without hesitation, he scooped the rice into the earthen jar and scooped out more than half of the rice grains. Then, he put it to his mouth and ate a mouthful.
As soon as he bit into the seemingly scalding rice, an indescribable feeling of smoothness filled his entire mouth.
Immediately thereafter, the grains of rice squirmed before tumbling into his stomach as if they were alive, and he had never tasted anything so delicious in his life.
Liu Ming couldn't hold it in any longer. He quickly finished all the rice in the earthen jar.
But in the next moment, he immediately felt a scorching aura rushing out from his abdomen and quickly spreading to his limbs.
"Eh, this is …"
This heat was clearly the purest Heaven Earth Yuan Qi!
Without hesitation, Liu Ming immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.
Two hours later, when he opened his eyes again, his face was full of surprise and joy.
In that short moment of cultivation, his magic power had increased so much that it was shockingly more than a day of bitter cultivation.
This spirit rice actually had the miraculous effect of aiding cultivation, it was really too unexpected.
No wonder Li Zong said that there might be unexpected benefits in farming.
If he could eat this spirit rice a few times a day, wouldn't his cultivation speed increase several times?
But after thinking about this for a while, Liu Ming immediately shook his head and denied it.
Ignoring the fact that this type of spirit rice was extremely rare, a normal disciple wouldn't even be able to get it from the Sect. Just the feeling of fullness that came from his stomach was even stronger than the Pill of Fasting. Even if there was a sufficient supply of spirit rice, a person would only be able to eat it once every six or seven days.
If that was the case, then it would at most increase a person's cultivation speed by six or seven times.
Compared to the effect of him doing two things at once, this kind of increase was far too lacking.
After thinking about this, the excitement in Liu Ming's heart subconsciously faded a bit.
After he put away the remaining spirit rice, he returned to the cultivation room and sat cross-legged.
In the previous month, he had only used the Dark Bone Method to convert the original spirit energy in his body into Fa Li, so his cultivation process was abnormally smooth.
Now that the spirit energy in his body had been completely converted, if he wanted to continue to increase his Fa Li, he could only do it bit by bit.
From the two cultivation experience books, Liu Ming already knew that the higher the level of the Cultivation Method, the more mental energy it would take to practice. Most of the time had to be spent on recovering mental energy.
Of course, normally, as one's cultivation level increased, the mental energy of a cultivator would also slowly increase.
Therefore, when a new disciple and a Middle or Late Spirit Apostle practiced the same Cultivation Method, their speed of practice would be very different.
But for the most basic Cultivation Method like the Earth Spirit Method, the new disciples would usually practice for ten to twelve hours before having to stop and rest for the same amount of time before continuing.
When Liu Ming used his talent of doing two things at once to practice the Dark Bone Method, he did not care about any of this. Often, after five to six days of non-stop practice, he only needed a good night's sleep to be able to enter the next round of practice with full energy.
The amount of time he spent practicing was almost double that of the other disciples.
From the two cultivation experience books, Liu Ming also knew that in terms of actual cultivation results, he could not compare to the Six Spiritual Pulse and Nine Spiritual Pulse disciples.
Spending the same amount of time to practice, his Three Spiritual Pulse disciples' cultivation results were only half of that of a Six Spiritual Pulse disciple, and only a third of that of a Nine Spiritual Pulse disciple.
As a result, even though Liu Ming's cultivation time was much longer than the other disciples, the actual increase in Fa Li and cultivation speed was only equal to that of a Six Spiritual Pulse disciple.
No wonder those Spirit Masters were only interested in Six Spiritual Pulse disciples and above, and did not care about Three Spiritual Pulse disciples.
With such a large difference in cultivation results, if he was the leader of a faction, he would also focus all his resources on Six Spiritual Pulse disciples.
From this, one could imagine how terrifying the speed of Gao Chong's cultivation would be once he started cultivating with the "Earth Spiritual Pulse".
With twelve Spiritual Pulses, Gao Chong's cultivation speed was four times that of a normal Three Spiritual Pulse disciple.
Even with the help of his talent of doing two things at once, Liu Ming's cultivation speed was only half of Gao Chong's.
As for some Lightning Spiritual Veins, Wind Spiritual Veins, and other similar elemental Spiritual Veins, they didn't have much effect on cultivation, but when casting some secret techniques of the same elemental attribute, they would display an astonishing increase in power, so they were very valued by the sect.
Other than that, some cultivators, because of their bloodline or other innate reasons, might have some special abilities.
Some of these abilities could increase the speed of cultivation, some could allow one to practice secret techniques that normal people could not, and some had even more strange effects.
There were so many abilities that the cultivation world had not yet completely calculated them, and they were only temporarily called "Spiritual Bodies".
The probability of a Spiritual Body appearing was much lower than the Nine Spiritual Pulse and elemental Spiritual Pulse.
However, not all Spiritual Bodies were useful to their owners. On the contrary, most of the known types of Spiritual Bodies were useless abilities.
Therefore, thinking about it this way, Liu Ming's talent of doing two things at once could be classified as a type of Spiritual Body.
However, his ability was slightly different from a normal Spiritual Body. Other Spiritual Bodies were born with Innate Spiritual Bodies, but his talent of doing two things at once was an acquired ability that appeared accidentally.
Whether or not the two were related, and whether or not they were two different things, Liu Ming himself could not determine.
At this moment, when he thought about these things in his room, he naturally felt a little depressed. Fortunately, his willpower was far stronger than that of a normal person. Very quickly, he suppressed the many distracting thoughts and began to cultivate the Dark Bone Method.
… …
Half a year passed by in a flash!
During this period of time, other than the routine Sect tasks and going to the Spiritual Hall to exchange for a few practical spells, Liu Ming did not take a step outside.
He only focused on cultivating the Dark Bone Method, causing his Fa Li to rapidly increase.
On this day, as Liu Ming was cultivating, his body suddenly trembled. A muffled rumbling sound of metal colliding could be heard from within his body. Following this, he opened his mouth and a thick black gas was spat out. It turned into a black, misty wind that engulfed his body.
Within the wind, several black tentacles could be faintly seen dancing in the wind. However, in a flash, they disappeared without a trace.
A clear incantation sound came from within the wind. After a low shout, the wind suddenly stopped and Liu Ming's figure once again appeared.
"The first layer of the Dark Bone Method has finally been cultivated. Hehe, one year? For me, half a year is enough. " Liu Ming raised both of his hands and saw that there were traces of black gas lingering around his fingers. A smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and the Tiger's Bite Bracelet on his wrist flashed. Then, he flicked a finger at a nearby wall.
With a "pu" sound, a black gust of wind shot out and pierced a small hole in the wall.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's heart was filled with joy.
With this kind of power, he could almost be on par with a top level practitioner. It seemed that he had really entered the Beginning Spirit Apostle stage.
In this way, he could finally cultivate the secret technique "Soul Shackling Chains" in his hands.
At this time, a continuous "dang" "dang" sound of a bell suddenly came from outside the house.
Liu Ming was stunned. He quickly walked out of the house and raised his head to look at the top of the mountain.
He saw that the sound of the bell was coming from the top of the Nine Infant Mountain. Moreover, each sound was louder than the one before. There were nine consecutive rings.
"Nine consecutive rings? Could it be that today is the day of the Small Competition on the Nine Infant Mountain? "After hearing the bell rings, a trace of surprise appeared on Liu Ming's face.
At this time, from the bottom of the mountain, one after another, gray clouds broke through the air and flew straight to the top of the mountain.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, then he also made a gesture to condense a gray cloud under his feet and soared into the sky.
After a short while, seventy to eighty Inner Sect Disciples gathered around the plaza at the top of the Nine Infant Mountain. All of them had serious expressions as they looked at the three people in the center.
