"So this is what it means to have a small success in spells! When I was practicing the Wind Blade Technique that day, I suddenly felt enlightened. Not only did my casting speed increase greatly, but its power also increased by thirty percent. However, the cultivation of this kind of magic technique was completely reliant on diligent practice over and over again. Only then would one be able to master it with practice. Since there is a small success, then there should be a large success. In this aspect, the Nine Spiritual Pulse Disciples are probably the same as the Three Spiritual Pulse Disciples, unable to gain much of an advantage. On the other hand, my talent of multitasking can be used alternately to practice spells. Using it on this aspect is a great advantage. "Liu Ming said to himself. There was a trace of doubt on his face, but there was also a trace of excitement.
Among the older disciples today, although there were some who had practiced spells to the small success realm, there were definitely less than ten. Moreover, most of them were using the simplest spells such as Wind Blade and Fireball.
As for the slightly higher level spells such as Ice Awl and Flame Snake, there was no one who had practiced them to the small success realm.
Thinking about it, this was not strange!
Most of the higher level spells were complicated to cast, and the Fa Li required was much higher than the lower level spells. Naturally, it was much more difficult to practice.
Of course, the most important thing was that most of the disciples used their time to practice their own techniques and Fa Li. There were very few people who placed too much emphasis on the cultivation of spells.
After all, only when one's cultivation realm advanced was the foundation of everything. Only then would one be able to become a Spirit Master like the Confucian scholars. From there, one's lifespan would increase greatly, and there would be more possibilities.
As for Liu Ming, if he did not have the talent of multitasking, he would probably have made the same choice. However, now that he knew that his talent could give him a great advantage in this aspect, he, who was wholeheartedly pursuing his own strength, naturally made a more biased choice.
It was hard to say about the more complicated high level spells, but at the very least, he planned to take more time to practice simple spells such as the Wind Blade Technique in the future to see if there were any other gains.
Liu Ming stood in the small courtyard and thought for a while. Finally, he entered the training room and sat down cross-legged.
He hesitated for a while, then took out a newly obtained Calming Heart Incense from his sleeve. With a touch of his finger, he lit it and stuck it nearby.
Following the appearance of a wisp of green smoke, a somewhat strange fragrance immediately filled the entire room.
After taking a deep breath, Liu Ming closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
At this moment, rows of grey characters impressively appeared in his mind. It was the cultivation method of the "Soul Shackling Chain".
Although he had returned the scroll to the Sutra Depository a long time ago, the contents of the scroll were deeply imprinted in his mind. He would not forget a single word of it.
In the past, he had hurriedly tried to comprehend it, but when he saw that it required him to be a Beginning Spirit Apostle, he immediately gave up and did not study it any further.
Now that he had the help of the Calming Heart Incense, he planned to completely understand this secret technique in one go.
Time passed day by day. Liu Ming stayed in his room for five days and five nights in a row without taking a single step out.
On the morning of the sixth day, he finally opened his eyes, but his face was full of exhaustion.
"So in order to cultivate this Soul Shackling Chain, one must refine it on the spot with a living soul. If I remember correctly, the Sect has a "Soul Pond" that specializes in cultivating souls. As long as I pay a certain amount of Contribution Points, I can go in and capture souls for a certain amount of time. In addition, the Sect also has a "Grey Market" that is a place where the Inner Sect disciples trade their own things. Maybe there are people who sell souls. Now that I don't have a single Contribution Point, I will naturally choose the second method. "
After quickly thinking about it, Liu Ming came to a decision. However, before that, he naturally needed to have a good rest.
On the morning of the second day, Liu Ming hurriedly rode his cloud and left his residence.
He followed the markings on the map that Li Zong gave him last time and flew straight to another place.
At the edge of the mountain range where the Barbarian Ghost Sect was located, there was a small, unremarkable bamboo forest between two peaks.
From time to time, there would be a few Inner Sect disciples flying up and down in the middle of the bamboo forest.
Liu Ming urged the gray cloud below him to land in the middle of the bamboo forest. Immediately, he looked around with a curious gaze.
He saw that in the surrounding area, there were many simple and crude stalls of various sizes. Behind the stalls sat many Barbarian Ghost Sect disciples. Most of them were Inner Sect disciples, but there were also a few who wore Outer Sect disciple clothing.
There were also a few people who walked in front of these stalls and picked up one or two items to look at. Some even directly haggled with the stall owners. It gave Liu Ming the illusion that he had returned to a secular market.
After Liu Ming calmed his mind, he followed the others and slowly walked past each stall. Occasionally, he would pick up an item to look at.
The items on display at these stalls ranged from pills, glyphs, materials, and Practitioner Weapons. It could be said that there was a wide variety of items.
However, there were even more strange items that he had never heard of before. For example, the "Blood Corpse Bee's Stinger", "Corpse Eating Vulture's Feather", "Hundred Year Fish Demon's Blood Essence", and so on.
As for the Ghost that he was looking for, as a commonly used material, he saw that it was sold at several stalls. However, after asking about the price, he was speechless.
A low-grade Yin Soul cost ten spirit stones, and a normal-grade Yin Soul cost thirty spirit stones. As for high-grade Yin Souls and above, they were not sold at all. Instead, there were stall owners who were willing to buy these Yin Souls for a hundred spirit stones each.
Although Liu Ming was short of money, he finally took the opportunity to see what the so-called "Ghost" looked like and heard some related things.
These Ghosts were mostly stored in a porcelain bottle sealed with a special glyph. Once the bottle cap was opened, it would turn into a black gas and rush out. It could also transform into a tiger, a leopard, a ghost face, and other smoke forms.
As for the Ghost's attack method, other than the bone-piercing coldness, it could also use some simple illusion techniques to directly affect the mind of people at close range.
In general, the Silver Wedding Ghost was actually not a real ghost. It was a kind of thing that was born from Ghost Qi and did not have any active consciousness. Even if it launched an attack, it was often a passive subconscious reaction.
Therefore, it was not too difficult to capture Ghosts that were below the normal quality.
However, if it was a high quality Ghost, the situation would be very different.
First of all, Ghosts of this quality were extremely rare. Only one in a hundred would be born. Moreover, most of them hid in places with thick Ghost Qi and did not like to come out. Therefore, it was extremely difficult to find them.
Secondly, besides the two attack methods mentioned above, high quality Ghosts also had the ability to split up and escape in times of danger. This made it even harder to capture them alive.
Legend had it that there was the existence of a high quality Ghost. However, this was only a rumor. No one had seen it with their own eyes.
Of course, these Ghosts were all caught by the Inner House disciples from the Soul Pond using Contribution Points. That was why they were sold at such a high price.
Liu Ming asked around and asked around. After a while, he found out most of the above information. In the end, he gritted his teeth and spent ten Spirit Stones to buy a low quality Ghost. He would not go back and try it out first.
Once he bought the item, just as Liu Ming was about to leave on a cloud, he was suddenly stopped by a pleasant female voice from behind.
"Hey, isn't this Junior Bai!"
When Liu Ming heard this, he paused. Turning around, he saw a male and a female walking towards him.
The male was a young man wearing a blue robe. He looked to be about 21 or 22 years old. His eyebrows were high and his expression was cold. The female was a young married woman wearing a white dress. She was pretty and had a smile on her face. She was the Mu Clan's Mu Xian Yun, whom he had met once at the Opening Spirit Ceremony.
"So it is Senior Mu. Little brother greets you." Even though he was a little surprised, Liu Ming still cupped his fists and said.
"Junior Martial Brother Mu, you promised to visit me at that time. However, half a year has already passed and Senior Sister has yet to see Junior Bai visit. "Mu Xian Yun said with a smile on her red lips.
"Cough … Sister Mu, please don't blame me. Ever since I entered the sect, I have been forced to cultivate in the mountains and have not had the time to come. This senior is … "Liu Ming vaguely responded with a few words before looking at the cold young man next to him.
"Du Hai from the Baleful Yin Faction." The youth replied simply without any expression.
"So it is a senior from the Baleful Yin Faction." Hearing this, Liu Ming's face slightly changed.
Among the many branches of the Nine Infant Sect, the Baleful Yin Faction was one of the top three strong factions. Moreover, the disciples from the Baleful Yin Faction did not have a good relationship with the Nine Infant Sect.
"Junior Bai, do not worry. Senior Du is a good friend of mine for many years. He will not affect our relationship because of the relationship between the different factions. That's right, what does Junior Bai want to buy at the Grey Market? I have a few good friends here who might be able to help Junior. "Mu Xian Yun explained before asking with a smile.
"Many thanks for Senior Mu's good intentions. However, I have already bought the items, so there is no need to trouble Senior Mu." Liu Ming thought quickly and tactfully declined.
"Since it is like this, Senior will not force you. That's right, do you need Contribution Points recently? "Mu Xian Yun was a little surprised at first, but she immediately asked with a normal expression.
"Contribution Points?" Hearing this, Liu Ming's heart slightly moved.
"That's right. Recently, me, Senior Du, and a few other good friends are preparing to take on an important mission. However, we are still lacking two people. If Junior is interested, I can count you in. "Mu Xian Yun said without hesitation.
"Since it is an important mission, Junior has only entered the sect for half a year. I am afraid that when the time comes, you will not be able to help much. Moreover, when the time comes, how will the Contribution Points be divided? "Liu Ming's eyes flashed a few times before he slowly replied.
"Junior, do not worry. This time's mission is special. In reality, it does not require a lot of cultivation. We only need a few more people in order to not fail. As for the Contribution Points, since we are taking on the mission together, it will naturally be divided equally. "The young woman saw that Liu Ming was moved and immediately explained in detail.
"Okay, since it is not dangerous and does not require a lot of cultivation. Then count me in. " Liu Ming thought for a while and felt that it was a good opportunity to see what a Contribution Point mission looked like. Thus, he nodded his head and agreed.
"Junior's decision is a wise one. This kind of mission with many people is most suitable for a new disciple like Junior. Then in three days, Junior will come to the second floor of the Duty Hall. At that time, we will gather and take on the mission together. "Hearing this, Mu Xian Yun's face revealed a charming smile.
