The green-faced ghost screamed, and black gas gushed out of the big hole in the back of its head. Bone Scorpion was on the ground. It suddenly ejected its tail hook like lightning, and it easily succeeded in one blow.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, he would probably die on the spot.
But the ghost's upper body shook a few times, and its head suddenly turned eighty degrees strangely. It stopped screaming, then it suddenly let out an extremely sharp howl.
When the middle-aged scholar not far away heard this sound, his heart suddenly became hot. His chest felt like it was punched heavily, and he almost spat out blood.
"Hundred Ghosts Cry!"
Liu Ming's mind moved, and he instantly remembered this ghost spell.
This was a ghost technique that many middle and high rank ghost creatures could use. It could affect people's mind. If it was used unexpectedly in battle, it could make the opponent's blood flow and spiritual power collapse. It had the same effect as the fire spirit howl he encountered in the Small Flame World.
However, this level of ghost cry couldn't affect him much at all. His face turned gloomy. He suddenly waved his sleeve, and a crimson rainbow flashed out. It only circled around the ghost, then it flew back again.
With a "putong", the green-faced ghost's expression instantly solidified. The upper half of its body immediately slid to the ground, and the lower half also fell back after shaking.
At this moment, there was a roar from the cave in the distance. Listening to the sound, it was another ghost.
Liu Ming turned his head and glanced faintly.
At the other end of the mine, another green-faced ghost was tightly entangled by countless strands of green hair. The black mist around it turned into several snake-shaped black shadows that were constantly tearing at the green hair, but no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free.
Demon Flying Skull used some kind of magical power, but it was clinging to the ghost's neck like a maggot. The 3 heads, 1 big and 2 small, were biting the ghost's vital point.
This seemingly fierce green-faced ghost could still roar and struggle in the silk net at first, but after Liu Ming looked at it for a few seconds, its voice suddenly became weak. At the same time, its body shrank and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it could no longer move.
Liu Ming nodded. His figure flashed, and his sleeve flicked again.
A red light flashed in the air. The red flying sword had penetrated into the chest of the green-faced ghost, and the tip of the sword came out from its back.
Then the cold sword light trembled, and it slashed from the bottom up.
A strange howl came!
This green-faced ghost was split in half by a sword; it couldn't be more dead.
From the appearance of the two green-faced ghosts to Liu Ming easily killing them with the assistance of the two spiritual pets, it was only a few minutes.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Ming had a casual appearance, as if he did not use much strength at all.
This naturally made the middle-aged scholar surprised and happy.
When Bone Scorpion and Demon Flying Skull retracted their magical powers and flew to Liu Ming again, the Xu Family elder immediately put away the small shield in front of him, hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his fist, and said respectfully,
"I didn't expect that Liu not only has amazing strength, but he also has two such powerful spiritual pets. It really opened my eyes. These two spiritual pets, if I'm not mistaken, should both have the strength of the Condensation Period later stage. Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being the disciple of Taiqing Gate. With such powerful spiritual pets, I'm afraid you can dominate those below the Crystallization Period. "
"You're overpraising me. I only got these two spiritual pets by chance." Liu Ming replied with a slight smile, then he patted his waist. Bone Scorpion and Demon Flying Skull immediately turned into two black gas and went into the leather bag on his waist.
Seeing this, the middle-aged scholar bowed slightly again and thanked him.
"This is my duty. You don't have to thank me. If there is nothing else, let's go back now. " Liu Ming's gaze swept around, and after he did not find any other abnormalities, he immediately said so.
The middle-aged scholar naturally agreed without any hesitation.
So the two immediately returned the way they came. After leaving the mine, they flew toward the Xu Family's house.
A few hours later, in the hall of the Xu Family's house, Liu Ming sat calmly on a chair.
Around him were several Xu Family elders such as Xu Kaiyang. The middle-aged scholar who accompanied Liu Ming to the mine pit before was also among them.
These Xu Family cultivators had learned from the middle-aged scholar about the powerful strength that Liu Ming had shown in the previous battle. In addition to excitement, they naturally became more respectful to Liu Ming.
"Envoy Liu, this is the reward promised by the Sect. This time, the envoy came to help us from thousands of miles away. On behalf of the Xu Family, I thank the envoy again. In addition, these things are some rare forging materials left by the ancestors of the Xu Family. If you like it, you can take a few. " After a while, the Xu Family master and the skinny old man walked from the back of the hall. They took a few steps forward and took out a bag of spirit stones and put it on the table.
Then the elder of the Xu Family next to him flicked his sleeves. After a flash of white light, there were a dozen more jade boxes next to the bag.
"If this is the case, then I won't be polite." Seeing this, Liu Ming said faintly. He first put away the bag of spirit stones, then he looked at these jade boxes.
…
After a quarter of an hour.
Accompanied by the Xu Family cultivators, Liu Ming walked out of the hall. He made a gesture, and a black cloud lifted him up. He instantly turned into a black light and flew away.
After just a few seconds, he turned into a black light spot and disappeared into the distant sky.
The skinny old man breathed a sigh of relief at this time, turned around, and asked the middle-aged scholar again.
"Seventh Brother, you said that this person actually has two ghost creatures of the Condensation Period later stage with him. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" The skinny old man frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Reporting to elder brother, I scanned the mine several times with Divine Thought and confirmed that both of them are at the Condensation Period later stage. Not only that, High Envoy Liu was also a sword cultivator, and his cultivation was unfathomable. He killed the two Green-faced Ghosts with a single strike in practically the blink of an eye. You and I know the strength of these two ghost creatures. "The middle-aged scholar didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly replied.
"If what you said is true, this Envoy Liu is definitely not as simple as the Condensation Period intermediate stage. He must have deliberately concealed his cultivation and didn't want us to know. Fortunately, we treated him like a distinguished guest, otherwise, I don't know what trouble he will cause. But since he left so quickly, he probably has other important things to do. Never mind, these are not what we need to care about. "Xu Kaiyang's face changed slightly when he heard the words.
"This time, patriarch did a good job. We took out those materials for him to choose, which is considered as a good relationship with this person. If this person's cultivation can go further, maybe he can become the new backer of our Xu Family in the Taiqing Gate in the future. "The skinny old man said with a sigh, then he waved his sleeve and walked into the hall.
When the Xu Family people heard this, they looked at each other and didn't say much. They followed in one after another.
…
Liu Ming, who was already more than a hundred miles away, naturally wouldn't know the conversation of the Xu Family after he left.
He was playing with a thumb-sized emerald green bead in his hand with a smile on his face.
This thing was called Gan Xiao Bead. It was the crystallization of a strange insect's excretion. It was extremely poisonous, but it was very rare. It was one of the auxiliary materials for Liu Ming to forge the Nine Skulls Shield.
Liu Ming was naturally very satisfied with this unexpected gain.
He suddenly put away the bead, took out a map of the nearby area that he had prepared.
After a while, he put away the map, stepped lightly on the black cloud under his feet, turned around, and flew in another direction.
After flying all the way west for half a day, a seemingly ordinary lake appeared not far in front of Liu Ming.
The lake water was so clear that the bottom could be seen. From time to time, there were groups of fish swimming by. There were also a few gray wild cranes flapping their wings and playing by the lake.
Liu Ming stepped on the black cloud under his feet and landed by the lake. He made a strange gesture in front of his chest, then he flipped his other hand and gently patted the air in front of him.
A burst of black mist shot forth, and the space several tens of feet in front of him tremored slightly as a layer of ripples abruptly appeared.
Then the scenery in front of Liu Ming suddenly blurred. A lush green valley suddenly appeared. He could vaguely see some cultivators flying into the valley from all directions. From time to time, there were a few escape lights flying out of the valley.
This valley was the real destination of his trip, a remote market that was tens of thousands of miles away from Taiqing Gate, Blue Lake Market.
After he looked at it for a while, he turned into a black escape light and flew into the valley.
After half a day, Liu Ming walked out of the market with a satisfied face.
Although this Blue Lake Market was not big, it had a complete range of shops, spiritual weapons, materials, talismans, etc.
Liu Ming quickly sold out the elixirs that he had previously refined in batches. Perhaps because of the remoteness, the price of elixirs here was 10% higher than the Sect's market. This also made him earn a lot more. At this moment, the spirit stones on him had reached more than 300,000.
In the following time, he went to several shops in the market, spent tens of thousands of spirit stones, and collected a large number of alchemy materials except for the green condensing fruit.
After doing all this, he left the market and flew to the green stone hall where the teleportation array was located.
More than ten days later, in a shop in Taiqing Market, Liu Ming was carefully looking at a dozen fist-sized green fruits in a white jade box in front of him.
There was a layer of faint green spirit patterns on the surface of these fruits, and they exuded a fragrance from time to time. It was a batch of green condensing fruit that was nearly 300 years old.
Most of the green condensing fruit purchased before were about 200 years old, but these 300 years old green condensing fruit in front of him made his heart move.
As a matter of fact, the difference in the age of the main material of alchemy would directly affect the quality of the final elixir, let alone the difference of 100 years.
"I want all of these, how much is it?" Liu Ming asked calmly.
"A total of 80,000 spirit stones." A middle-aged woman with a graceful figure said after glancing at Liu Ming.
