Here, there were more than a dozen ebony shelves, all of which were filled with pieces of Jade Slips, exuding dazzling brilliance. There were only a few people in the room scattered around the wooden shelves, concentrating on reading the Jade Slips.
When Liu Ming glanced over, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Next to the third ebony shelf on the left, a graceful woman in a blue dress was holding a silver Jade Slips on her forehead. It was Calan.
Just when Liu Ming was hesitating, the woman suddenly turned her head and looked over. After showing a hint of surprise on her face, she turned her beautiful eyes and put the Jade Slips back on the wooden shelf, then she walked straight to Liu Ming.
"It turns out to be Brother Liu, I haven't seen you in these years. I didn't expect to meet you here this time." Before Liu Ming spoke, Calan said lightly.
"It's indeed been a long time." Liu Ming looked at Calan, and after a complicated expression flashed in his eyes, he slowly replied.
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Liu crushed all the other disciples in the outer court competition and obtained first place. It's truly a cause for celebration. I knew that with Brother Liu's strength, it is only a matter of time before he becomes famous in the outer door. "Calan suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile.
Obviously, although she was in the inner door, she was also quite familiar with the outer door major competition and other grand events of the Sect.
"Junior Apprentice Sister Jia Lan is too kind. I was just lucky enough to win by a move or two. However, your cultivation seems to have improved a lot. " Liu Ming scanned with Divine Thought and found that this woman's cultivation was faintly close to the Condensation Period later stage perfect stage. She was even a bit higher than him, so he said with a wry smile.
At the time of the gambling fight in the Valley of Fire in the South Sea Region, this woman was only at the Condensation Period intermediate stage.
But he relied on a lot of cold condensing pills to get his current cultivation. Now it seemed that the inner disciple's cultivation resources were really amazing.
"Brother Liu, you must be here to read the inner sect's cultivation technique manual, right? I heard that the champion of the Grand Competition will be able to read one for free." Jia Lan smiled faintly when she heard this. She did not say much about her own cultivation, but changed the topic and said.
"Isn't Junior Sister Calan the same?" Liu Ming rubbed his nose and said noncommittally.
"I have worked hard to accumulate contribution points of the Sect for 2 years, and it's just enough for me to read a technique that has a little auxiliary effect on the Crystallization Period." Calan's beautiful eyes flashed, and she smiled slightly.
"It turns out that junior sister apprentice is about to break through to the Crystallization Period. This is really something worth celebrating. "Hearing the words Crystal Period, Liu Ming was really shocked this time.
"How can it be so fast? However, a technique taught by my master is very suitable for my spiritual body, so my progress to the Crystallization Period is relatively fast. It is estimated that I should be able to break through the Crystallization Period bottleneck within 10 years. "Calan didn't mean to hide it, and she said frankly.
Liu Ming sighed again. The matter of breaking through to the Crystallization Period was still quite far away for him.
After the two sighed with each other, they went to read the classics.
After Liu Ming bid farewell to Calan, he went straight to the third floor of the Scriptures Pavilion and began to carefully select one by one.
About 2 hours later, Liu Ming finally found an unpopular mystic art "Three Shadowy Mirages Technique" on the fourth floor of the Scriptures Pavilion.
After facing Lan Xi and Siren King in the illusion, as well as various situations encountered in the major competition, Liu Ming was more aware of the irreplaceable importance of the mystic art in the battle compared to the spiritual weapon technique.
Once this technique was mastered, it could be used on the user, making the figure hazy. As the level of the technique increased, it could also transform into a realistic afterimage to move with the user.
According to the records in the "Three Shadowy Great Technique" jade talisman, this technique was divided into four levels. The first level could only conjure a hazy afterimage, and each level could conjure an afterimage. At the highest level of mastery, one could conjure up to three afterimages at most.
When it was used in close combat, unless the user had a special spirit eye or his cultivation was far higher than the user, it was impossible to identify the real body. It could be said to be extremely practical in close combat.
As Liu Ming thought about it, he scanned with Divine Thought again and found that this technique required 250,000 contribution points. Although it only required half of the contribution points compared to the previous spiritual technique "Sea Heart Sutra" that required 500,000 contribution points, it still cost more contribution points among the many mystic arts.
After a little consideration, he took out the green jade talisman from the Sumeru Ring, launched a symbol into it, and shook it lightly on the purple Jade Slips of the "Three Shadowy Mirages Technique".
A layer of purple fluctuation appeared on the Jade Slips, then countless purple words swarmed out and went into the green jade talisman.
Under the brilliance on the surface of the green jade talisman, the whole body suddenly turned lavender.
Liu Ming put it on his forehead and scanned it with Divine Thought. After confirming that the technique was correct, he went downstairs with satisfaction. He went straight out of the Scriptures Pavilion and flew back to his cave house.
He then entered the secret room and practiced the newly acquired magical power.
In the following period of time, except for Long Yanfei who visited him several times to ask about the sword embryo spirit, only Yan Ming and Xue Yun came to visit him once.
In addition to continuing to take cold condensing pills and enter the illusion to practice, Liu Ming spent the rest of his time concentrating on cultivating the "Three Shadowy Mirages Technique".
As a result, Liu Ming's retreat lasted for 2 years. During this period, except for going to the Sect's market to purchase a batch of alchemy materials, he never left the cave house.
2 years later, he finally mastered the first level of this mystic art.
On this day, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged in the cave house's secret room, pasting a purple jade talisman on his forehead, concentrating on comprehending the second level of the mystic art.
At this moment, 3 escape lights flashed in the distant sky, and they landed at the door of his cave house.
As Liu Ming raised his brows, he had already sensed the 3 vague spiritual pressures at the door of the cave house. 1 of them was very familiar, and the other 2 also faintly seemed to be at the Crystallization Period.
"I wonder if Younger Brother Liu is in the cave house?"
Just when Liu Ming was thinking about the intention of this man, Sha Tongtian's faint voice came into his ears.
With a thought, he immediately put away the purple jade talisman, then he got up and left the secret room and the cave house.
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Sha. May I know why you are here this time?" Liu Ming said calmly. At the same time, he glanced at the other 2 people. Seeing that they were dressed like inner disciples, they stood behind Sha Tongtian but didn't speak. They should be the disciples of the Tianjian Peak with Sha Tongtian.
"I came here this time just to compete with Younger Brother Liu again to determine the winner. I will break through the bottleneck of the Crystallization Period soon. I may not have the chance to fulfill this wish in the future. I have always remembered the grievances between Jin Yuhuan and the Green Sky Illusory Palace that day. "Sha Tongtian said faintly.
When Liu Ming heard this, he didn't show too much surprise. Although he didn't want to be a busybody at this time, since the other party took the initiative to come to him aggressively, he naturally wouldn't avoid it. After narrowing his eyes, he agreed very simply,
"Since Senior Fellow Apprentice Sha has the intention to teach me, I naturally can't refuse. I will compete with Brother Sha."
"That's great." Sha Tongtian sneered when he heard the words.
After that, they didn't say much and turned into light as they flew toward the Outer Yard Arena.
About half a quarter of an hour later, in the outer court arena, there was an arena that was several hundred meters in size. There were three to four hundred people densely surrounding it, and from time to time, there would be disciples flying in twos and threes.
Judging from their costumes, most of them were outer disciples, and there were a few ordinary disciples. They all gathered here to see the battle between Liu Ming, the top 1 of the outer courtyard major competition, and Sha Tongtian, the inner disciple of the Tianjian Peak.
Even Liang Zhange was alarmed by this match. Under his interest, he actually hosted this match personally.
When the enchantment around the arena turned into a light curtain and rose, Liang Zhange immediately announced in the sky, then he flashed out of the light curtain.
Without saying a word, Sha Tongtian patted the white leather bag on his waist. "Swoosh", a clear water-like flying sword flew out of the leather bag with a flash of green light. After it circled in the air, it spun quickly and emitted a clear green sword qi.
Liu Ming also flicked his sleeve, and the small gray sword shot out and was caught by him. As his sleeve bulged, spiritual power poured into it. Immediately, a gray sword light of a few feet rolled out, and it emitted a dazzling crystal light as it flashed.
Seeing this, Sha Tongtian's eyes turned cold. With a groan, his figure suddenly turned blurred and rose into the air. He turned into a green sword light of 80 meters in size, blasting at Liu Ming. The momentum was extremely astonishing. It was even sharper than when he was in the Green Sky Illusory Palace.
Liu Ming just shook his wrist unhurriedly, and the gray sword in his hand suddenly flew out with a low hum. It turned into a gray sword light that went at the incoming sword light.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out!
After the 2 sword lights collided suddenly, they were in a stalemate in the air.
Sha Tongtian was shocked.
He had been cultivating sword in retreat for the past 2 years. Now not only his cultivation had reached the Condensation Period later stage perfect stage, but his sword skills were also far from 2 years ago.
He used the body and sword fusion technique as soon as he came up, trying to gain the upper hand. However, Liu Ming just used the Sword Controlling Technique casually, and it was easily resisted.
"Bang", the green and gray sword lights flashed, and the 2 sword lights instantly bounced to both sides.
As the green sword light faded, Sha Tongtian's figure was revealed again.
His face was gloomy. He made a sword gesture with both hands, and the green sword floating in front of him trembled slightly in the air, then it turned into dense sword shadows that blasted at Liu Ming.
