Liu Ming and Zang Xuan didn't have much friendship, but after all, they had teamed up against the enemy once, so they were naturally not strangers.
After the two talked for a few more words, Zang Xuan also left.
Liu Ming stood in the same place. After pondering for a moment, he also flew toward the market on a black cloud.
…
Half a month later, Senior Fellow Apprentice Su, who was originally in charge of the Bai Lian Pavilion, returned from the family ahead of time. After Liu Ming handed over the task to him, he went to the Bat Clan's shop again. After exchanging a large number of green condensing fruits with the cold condensing pills on him, he set off to return to Taiqing Gate.
More than ten days later, when Liu Ming walked out of a teleportation stone hall in the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range, he looked at the familiar scenery in front of him, then he left with a smile.
Not long after, he first went to Xuan Hall to hand over the task, then he came to the Life and Death Pavilion and handed over the head of Yin Yang Strong Demon.
Although the head had been restored to a young man's face, the deputy of the Life and Death Pavilion used some mystic arts to make the head instantly return to the appearance of a muscular man with a yin yang face.
After confirming the authenticity of the head, the deputy naturally showed a surprised expression, and he gave a reward of 30,000 contribution points on the spot.
…
"Brother Liu, long time no see!"
As soon as Liu Ming returned to the sky near Piaohong Courtyard, he was about to return to the mountain where his cave house was located, but he happened to meet a person flying toward him.
It was Yan Ming.
"It turns out to be Brother Yan, why don't I see Junior Sister Apprentice Xue Yun?" Liu Ming naturally stopped and said faintly.
"Brother Liu, what are you talking about? Junior Sister Apprentice Xue Yun is cultivating in her cave house at the moment. I heard that Brother Liu has been performing tasks outside for more than a year. You didn't even participate in the minor competition. "Yan Ming said with a red face.
"I have some important things to deal with before. This can't be helped." Liu Ming replied with a smile when he heard the words.
He had been staying in the Changyang Market for half a year. Counting the time, the minor competition had indeed just ended not long ago.
"By the way, Brother Liu may not know yet. Your cave house is rich in spirit. It was originally one of the rewards of the minor competition. After the minor competition, it has been rewarded to Senior Fellow Apprentice Luo Geng who ranked fifth in the minor competition." Yan Ming changed the topic and talked about another thing.
When Liu Ming heard this, he was stunned. When he first joined the sect, the disciple who brought him to choose a cave abode had indeed mentioned this.
Although he had all kinds of elixirs to help him cultivate, the spiritual energy in this cave was still very useful to him. Naturally, he couldn't just give up like this.
Liu Ming's expression immediately darkened. After asking a few more questions, he cupped his fists and flew away first.
Yan Ming looked at Liu Ming's back in the distance, but he showed a thoughtful look on the spot, and he finally murmured,
"We haven't seen each other for such a short period of time, but this Younger Brother Liu's aura has become even more unfathomable. That Luo Geng is also a powerful character. I don't know who is better? "
After saying this, Yan Ming left in a hurry.
…
When Liu Ming appeared in front of his cave house, the stone door was closed, but the enchantment on it did not seem to be activated.
Liu Ming had lived in this cave house for a few years, so he was familiar with everything here. He knew that someone was inside after taking a look.
"Bang bang …"
Liu Ming immediately tapped on the stone door with his finger.
Not long after, the stone door was opened from the inside, and a young man with bronze skin walked out from it. He glanced at Liu Ming, then he frowned and asked.
"Who are you? What's the matter? "
It was obvious that he was very displeased that he was disturbed.
"I'm Liu Ming, sir should have heard of my name." Liu Ming said calmly.
"Oh, it turns out to be you, the guy who originally occupied this cave house!" Luo Geng was startled at first, but he immediately reacted. His eyes narrowed, and his tone suddenly became extremely cold.
"Since senior fellow apprentice knows me, you should be able to guess why I'm here today. I have lived in this cave house for a few years, and I have long been used to it. I wonder if senior fellow apprentice can return the cave house to me. In exchange, I am willing to pay Brother Luo three hundred thousand spirit stones as compensation. "Liu Ming asked faintly.
"Hmph, three hundred thousand spirit stones is a lot of wealth for the Condensation Period cultivator. It is enough to buy a good upper grade spiritual weapon, but unfortunately, I don't lack these spirit stones. I'm very satisfied with this cave house, and I don't intend to give it away." Luo Geng's face turned gloomy when he heard the words, and he refused without hesitation.
"What about five hundred thousand spirit stones?" Liu Ming's expression did not change at all.
"Hmph, Younger Brother Liu is really rich, but I advise you to find another cave house as soon as possible, so that you don't have a place to go." Luo Geng sneered, turned around, and walked back.
"If that's the case, then I have no other choice. Brother Luo, let's meet at the martial arts practice field." Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and said.
"What did you say!?" Luo Geng stopped when he heard the words. He turned around, and his eyes instantly became extremely gloomy.
"According to the rules of the outer disciple, every disciple who goes out to deal with the affairs of the Sect and does not participate in the minor competition has the right to challenge the top ten disciples in the original minor competition within half a year. If you win, you can get the reward of the minor competition. Unfortunately, I happen to apply this rule, and I want to challenge Brother Luo. If I win, this cave house will naturally belong to me. "Liu Ming's tone was also cold.
Although the person in front of him also had the cultivation of the Condensation Period later stage, after the twists and turns in the Changyang Market, he naturally didn't bother to argue with a cultivator of the same level.
"Hehe, it seems that my name, Luo Geng, is not loud enough in the courtyard. A little guy who has just joined the sect for a few years also dares to challenge me. Very well, I agree. "Luo Geng sneered a few times and agreed.
He had heard of Liu Ming's name before. It was said that he had some fame. But he was more confident in his own strength.
Liu Ming nodded when he heard the words. He immediately made a gesture and flew toward the Piaohong Courtyard with a cloud of black gas under his feet.
Luo Geng's figure flickered, turning into a white light ball and following closely.
A quarter of an hour later, both of them appeared in a martial arts practice field near the Piaohong Courtyard's hall.
This martial arts practice field had the size of a hundred acres. It was filled with a dozen large and small arenas. It was usually used for the outer disciples to practice with each other.
At the four corners of the arena stood four ancient stone pillars, and the surface was engraved with various runes.
It was noon at this moment, and there were many Piaohong Courtyard disciples in the field.
Not long after, Liu Ming and Luo Geng stood on an arena under the supervision of a Crystallization Period deputy who had been waiting here for a long time, facing each other.
People around quickly discovered the situation here, and they came over one after another.
"Hey, isn't that person Senior Fellow Apprentice Luo Geng who ranked fifth in the minor competition?"
"Is Senior Fellow Apprentice Luo going to duel with someone here? Who is the opponent? "
"I haven't seen the disciple in green clothes. Is he a newcomer? But he dares to duel with Senior Fellow Apprentice Luo, he is quite courageous."
In just a moment, hundreds of Piaohong Courtyard disciples had gathered around the arena. What's more, they seemed to have received the news and rushed over from outside. At this moment, they were all looking at Liu Ming in the arena.
Luo Geng was also a celebrity in Piaohong Courtyard, and because Liu Ming had only participated in the Small Flame World trial once, most of these old disciples were naturally unfamiliar with him. They all showed a curious look.
"Disciple Liu Ming went out for a mission in the Sect, so he was unable to participate in this minor competition. I will officially challenge Luo Geng who is ranked fifth. The winner will get the minor competition reward." This Crystallization Period deputy was a long-bearded man in his forties. He flew to the arena in a flash and announced the reason for this duel.
As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers suddenly burst into an uproar. Many people pointed at Liu Ming, and some people looked at Luo Geng with a strange look.
Luo Geng seemed to feel it, and his face couldn't help but look ugly.
"Although you should all know the rules, I still have to say it again here. This challenge is not a duel of life and death. Those who admit defeat or discard the arena will be the loser. Neither party can hurt the other's life. Violators will be punished by the sect rules. Also, if I think the result of the duel is fixed, I will also forcibly stop it. "The long-bearded man looked at the two people on the arena and said in a cold tone.
Liu Ming nodded when he heard the words. Luo Geng on the other side didn't say a word, but he looked at Liu Ming with a murderous look.
Seeing this, the Crystallization Period deputy didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and launched a green light in four directions.
The runes on the stone pillars at the four corners of the arena glowed, and a dark green light curtain emerged, quickly covering the entire arena.
"The duel starts!" After doing all this, the long-bearded man ordered.
Luo Geng flipped his hand, and a gray longsword flashed out from his waist, circling around his body as it flew up.
This sword was already three feet long. It could no longer be regarded as a flying sword, but it could be classified as a greatsword.
"This sword is the superb spiritual weapon of Senior Fellow Apprentice Luo in the minor competition, Liuhuang Sword right?" Someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed.
Luo Geng pointed out, and the three feet long sword suddenly turned into a gray sword light, blasting at Liu Ming as fast as lightning.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed. His hands suddenly clenched into fists, and his body suddenly exuded a rolling black gas. With a groan, he punched at the sword light.
A muffled "bang"!
The gray sword light suddenly dimmed and bounced back under the punch.
"Eh!"
The elder deputy in the air looked surprised for a moment. He glanced at the black gas on Liu Ming, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
When Luo Geng saw that the superb spiritual weapon that he relied on was bounced back by the opponent's bare-handed punch, his face was also shocked. Then, his eyes flashed fiercely. He pointed again, and he chanted at the same time.
The gray sword light circled fiercely and slashed at Liu Ming again.
There was a burst of "chi chi"!
As the gray sword light shone brightly, it transformed into dense gray sword silks that blasted at Liu Ming.
