At this point, the second level of the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison was finally mastered. As he clenched his fists, he suddenly felt that his physical strength and strength had increased by more than one-third compared to before.
Seeing this, Liu Ming frowned slightly. His eyes flickered with contemplation.
Although his Tiger Dragon Hell Prison had reached the second level, his cultivation was still a little short of breaking through the Condensation Period later stage.
In the next few days, Liu Ming did not rush to leave the cave house. Instead, he continued to stabilize the second level of the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison in the secret room, and he took the opportunity to find a way to break through the bottleneck.
But just as he was concentrating on practicing, the Sect token in his sleeve suddenly flashed non-stop.
When he took it out with a shake of his sleeve and injected some spiritual power into the token, a green light flashed, then a faint message came out from it,
"The outer disciples who receive this message, quickly gather in the Piaohong Courtyard hall."
Although he didn't know why everyone was gathered in such a hurry this time, since it wasn't just one person, there must be something important to announce.
Liu Ming immediately waved his sleeves and put away the various elixir bottles scattered on the ground, then he walked out of the cave house and flew toward the Piaohong Courtyard.
Half an hour later, Liu Ming came to the Piaohong Courtyard hall. At this time, in the hall, thirty outer disciples were bustling together.
Most of these outer disciples looked very young. The youngest was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Judging from the aura, their cultivation ranged from the Condensation Period early stage to the later stage.
Some were whispering to each other, some were looking around, and most of them were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed in meditation.
The deputy master Liang Zhange whom Liu Ming saw when he first reported was standing beside the main seat with his hands behind his back. There was no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Liu Ming walked into the crowd, found an open space, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.
In the following period of time, more than ten outer sect disciples came from all directions and silently joined the crowd.
Not long after, there were as many as forty to fifty disciples in the hall. Since the deputy master Liang Zhange didn't speak, everyone had to continue to wait.
Among them were Yan Xueyun and Liu Ming.
When the two saw Liu Ming, they naturally nodded from a distance.
After another 10 minutes, a streak of grey light suddenly flew over from afar, and it landed outside the hall. As the light faded, it was revealed to be an old man in a grey linen robe.
"Master Jiang." Deputy master Liang Zhange, who was originally silent, immediately bowed to the old man when he saw him step into the hall.
"Master?"
As soon as he said that, the outer court disciples who were whispering to each other immediately stopped talking, and everyone who was sitting cross-legged stood up one after another. Their gazes all landed on the Dean who had suddenly appeared.
Liu Ming also opened his eyes and stood up. He followed everyone's gaze and looked at the master that he had never met.
The man looked like he was in his sixties. He had a goatee that was three or four inches long on his chin, but his face was ruddy. He looked extremely capable.
Under the gaze of everyone, the old man walked slowly to the main seat of the hall, turned around, and sat down.
"Everyone, I'm Jiang Zhong, the master of this Piaohong Courtyard. In recent years, I have been busy with some affairs, so I rarely manage this Piaohong Courtyard. You are all new disciples who have just entered the Piaohong Courtyard in the past three years, so there are naturally not many people who have seen me. "The old man in linen shirt twisted his beard and said faintly.
Liu Ming and others naturally hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but the old man waved his hand and directly revealed the reason for gathering everyone this time,
"This time, the reason why you are gathered here is actually for the upcoming minor competition. According to the rules, the new outer disciple must participate in an entrance trial jointly held by the eight outer courtyards of our sect. After passing, you are eligible to participate in the minor competition held once every three years and the major competition held once every ten years, and you will be officially recognized by other outer disciples. "
When Liu Ming heard this, he was startled. He glanced at the other outer disciples around him and found that except for a few people who were also surprised, most of the others looked calm. They obviously knew about this long ago.
Yan Ming and Xue Yun also looked calm. Obviously, it was not the first time they heard about this entrance trial.
However, the other young man who was abnormally tall, about 20 meters tall, had lavender pupils. He didn't look like an ordinary human, but he attracted Liu Ming's attention. He couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The purple-eyed young man seemed to be extremely sensitive. He turned his head and glanced at Liu Ming in an instant, but after looking at him for a while, he immediately looked away as if nothing had happened.
This made Liu Ming's heart tremble slightly.
"I won't say much about the details. Someone will explain it to you at that time. In addition, the entrance trial this time will be set in the Small Flame World. If you think that your cultivation is not enough, or you don't want to participate at all, you can withdraw from next year's minor competition. You can wait until the next trial three years later to participate. "The old man paused and said again.
After hearing the old man say "Small Flame World", most of the disciples became a little excited after a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, you can go back and make some preparations now. We will gather here again three days later. Then, we will set off to the Small Flame World with the other seven outer courtyards' new disciples. "
After Jiang Zhong finished speaking, he gestured for everyone to leave, then he turned around and walked toward the back of the hall.
The deputy courtyard master, Liang Zhange, quickly followed.
"Farewell, Courtyard Master Jiang!" Seeing this, the disciples in the hall bowed and sent them off.
The old man did not turn around. He just waved his hand at everyone, then he gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor with Liang Zhange.
When everyone dispersed and left, Liu Ming immediately found Yan Ming and Xue Yun.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Yan, Miss Xue Yun." Liu Ming stepped forward and cupped his fist.
"Brother Liu is too polite. I'm just a few years older, so they call me senior fellow apprentice. In fact, I am also a new outer disciple." Yan Ming hurriedly returned the greeting.
After witnessing the scene of Liu Ming killing Tiancan Tongzi, this slender young man who was originally proud and arrogant naturally didn't dare to neglect Liu Ming.
Xue Yun on the side also curtsied to Liu Ming.
"Brother Yan, I have never heard of this entrance trial and Small Flame World before. I wonder if Brother Yan can enlighten me." Liu Ming asked directly.
"Brother Liu doesn't know about the trial and Small Flame World? Oh, the disciple who was directly recommended by the law enforcement hall to enter the courtyard without a test and selection, is it Brother Liu? "Yan Ming was shocked when he heard the words, then he suddenly understood.
"If Piaohong Courtyard doesn't have a second person recommended by the law enforcement hall, then it should be me." Liu Ming replied calmly when he heard the words.
"If this is the case, it is not surprising that Brother Liu doesn't know about the trial. In fact, speaking of this entrance trial, the origin is because of a tradition left behind after the Taiqing Gate experienced a catastrophe more than ten thousand years ago. The main purpose is to test the disciples' ability to adapt to actual combat. Although the general trial content will not be too dangerous, there is still the danger of death. Every time, there will always be a few disciples who accidentally lose their lives in the trial. "Yan Ming immediately explained to Liu Ming.
"It turns out to be like this." When Liu Ming heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.
"Small Flame World is a huge secret realm newly discovered by Taiqing Gate more than a hundred years ago. It actually contains extremely rich fire energy, and some fire spirits are born. Moreover, most of the other creatures and plants are also fire attributes. There are indeed many spiritual materials that are extremely rare in the outside world. The disciples who chose this place as the trial place in the previous sessions have really gained a lot of benefits in it, and those who practice fire attribute techniques have benefited a lot. Of course, although those fire spirits are not very intelligent, they are born with amazing flame manipulation abilities. Their essence core is an excellent forging material. If you can subdue one or two of them, the value is also great. "Yan Ming continued with a serious expression." Of course, those fire spirits are not very intelligent.
When Yan Ming mentioned the word "fire spirit", Liu Ming's heart moved. He couldn't help but recall the gambling fight between Wei Zhong and Calan in the Valley of Fire that day. After using the so-called spirit gathering technique, he turned into a black fire spirit. Although he was still defeated in the end, the mystery of his mystic arts was still fresh in his memory.
"Thank you Senior Fellow Apprentice Yan for telling me. By the way, I saw a tall fellow apprentice standing behind the two of you today. Senior Fellow Apprentice Yan, do you know the origin of this person? I saw that his eyes are light purple. He doesn't seem to be an ordinary human. "After Liu Ming thanked him, he suddenly remembered something and asked.
"If it's someone else, I might not know. But this person and I became outer disciple in the same batch of tests, so I really know his background. This person's name is Zang Xuan. He is indeed not a pure human bloodline. He also has a little purple eyes alien bloodline. Therefore, not only his strength is extraordinary, but he can also use his eyes to cast some mysterious mystic arts of the purple eyes clan. "After thinking about it, Yan Ming didn't mean to hide it, so he replied frankly.
"Alien bloodline?" Liu Ming was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Liu doesn't have to be so surprised. The so-called alien race is actually a branch of the human race. It's just that because of the different region and environment and even the acquired cultivation method, the bloodline in the body slowly mutates. Therefore, most of the alien race in the general population is also from the human race. Our Taiqing Sect and most of the sects on the mainland will not reject these human clan disciples with partial mutated bloodlines. They will be treated equally and be accepted as disciples. Moreover, some disciples with special talents are even more valued by the Sect because they are more suitable to practice certain techniques. In addition, most of these alien races from the human race are very kind to the human race. They even regard themselves as a member of the human race. Of course, for a few real alien races such as Beastkin Clan and Spirit Clan that have no relationship with the human race, the major Sect will still be very vigilant. They will not accept human race disciples with such alien bloodline. Even if they make an exception to accept them, they can only be ordinary disciples. They will never be able to learn the true inheritance of the Sect. And those demonic people who are contaminated by demonic qi and those who are transformed into demonic creatures after practicing demonic technique, even if they are originally from the human race, they are the mortal enemies of our human race. Any human race cultivator will definitely kill those with demonic blood. There will never be a second consideration. "Xue Yun also quickly explained to Liu Ming in a sweet voice.
