"Hehe, I am indeed a mid-level Qi Practitioner! Otherwise, how would I be able to tell that you have a Spiritual Pulse? " Guan Lao Da naturally did not mention the fact that he had intended to kill Liu Ming. His face was full of smiles.
"I also didn't think that I would also be a practitioner." Liu Ming murmured, his expression vaguely showing some understanding.
"Little brother, do you know that Practitioners are the weakest of the Spiritual Pulse users? At your age, if you can open your Spiritual Sea, you can even enter a Spirit Sect and become a Spirit Apostle." Guan Lao Da suddenly revealed a strange expression as he spoke.
"Spirit Apostle? Sect? "Liu Ming's eyebrows furrowed. This was the first time he had heard of these two names.
Guan Lao Da smiled slightly. Just as he was about to explain more, footsteps could be heard from the bushes in the distance. A skinny man carrying a large bag walked over.
"Brother Gu, come over quickly and meet this Brother Yang. He didn't even receive any guidance from a Practitioner and has completely relied on himself to cultivate Yuan Li." As soon as Guan Lao Da saw Gu Lao San's figure, he immediately waved his hand and said meaningfully.
"There's actually such a thing? That's great." Gu Lao San walked over a few steps. When he heard this, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"I pay my respects to Senior Gu!" Liu Ming didn't dare to be negligent and bowed slightly.
"Hehe, little brother, no need to be so polite. Brother Guan, I've bought all the things I wanted to buy. This is a technique that I know of. If it was someone else, it would take them more than half a day to make a round trip. "Gu Lao San waved his hands and waved the bag in front of Guan Lao Da as he spoke with a bit of pride.
"I knew it, that's why I asked you to buy it yourself. Oh right, this is not a good place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to talk. "Guan Lao Da nodded.
Liu Ming and Gu Lao San obviously didn't object. Thus, the three of them packed their things and walked away from the river.
As they passed by a pile of fresh soil, Liu Ming's eyes swept over it.
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect any abnormalities, but the youth could smell the scent of blood. Although it was very faint, it couldn't hide from him who had experienced countless bloody killings.
Liu Ming's heart trembled. He knew that the things buried within were definitely related to Guan Lao Da and Guan Lao Da. Most likely, they weren't good natured people. However, the fact that they were so friendly towards him meant that there was a reason behind it.
Two hours later, when the sky began to darken, the three of them appeared in an abandoned temple. They lit a pile of firewood to drive away the cold air.
Gu Laosan even cut open the belly of a wild rabbit he had casually hunted along the way and directly roasted it over the fire.
The three of them sat around the bonfire. Not long after, the aroma of roasted meat that whetted their appetites spread in all directions …
"The so-called Spirit Apostle refers to those who have successfully opened their Spiritual Sea through the Opening Spirit Ceremony. This is because once a person with a Spiritual Pulse reaches the age of fifteen, their Spiritual Pulse will solidify and they will no longer have the chance to open their Spiritual Sea. Thus, the Opening Spirit Ceremony has a strict age limit. Only those who have opened their Spiritual Sea can convert their Yuan Li into Fa Li. Only then can they use techniques and totem weapons, becoming a true celestial being. The Sect is a Sect that specializes in cultivating Spirit Apostles. Ordinary people don't even know about it. In every country, they have a transcendent status. Some of the more powerful Sect even have the power to decide the replacement of the country's court with a single word. " Guan Lao Da turned a blind eye to the roasted meat in front of him. Instead, he confidently opened the door to a mysterious world for Liu Ming.
"Decide the replacement of the court? The court controls the entire country's army. Why would they agree to such a thing? "Liu Ming couldn't help but ask as he sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Hehe, of course, this is decided by strength. The people in the Sect are different from practitioners like us. No matter how strong a practitioner is, when faced with an army, the most they can do is kill a few more people. On the other hand, the Spirit Apostles and Spirit Masters have the inconceivable abilities of summoning Heavenly Lightning Flames and summoning Ghost Puppets. On top of that, they can fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. No matter how many troops there are, they won't be able to hold them down. On the other hand, the royal family and high ranking officials will die if they are targeted by the people in the Sect. "Gu Lao San laughed as he explained.
"However, in order to become a Spirit Apostle, one must go through the Sect's Opening Spirit Ceremony. Every ceremony uses up many precious Spirit Medicines that the Sect has accumulated over the years. Thus, other than the Spiritual Pulse Disciples that the Sect has trained, the disciples of the Practitioner Clans who want to join have to pay an astonishing amount of resources to the Sect. Not long after, the Da Xuan Kingdom will be hosting the Opening Spirit Ceremony. "
"So that's how it is!" Liu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of thought, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Gu Lao San couldn't sit still. His eyes turned and he suddenly said in a tempting tone:
"Little brother, do you want to become a member of the Sect? Once you become a Spirit Apostle, not only will you have the ability to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, your lifespan will also increase greatly. You will be able to live up to two hundred years without any problems."
"I was originally a normal person and only just found out that I was a Spiritual Pulse Practitioner. How would I dare to have such extravagant hopes? Furthermore, I don't believe in such things! "Contrary to Gu Lao San's expectations, the young man shook his head.
These words made Gu Lao San speechless for a moment.
Guan Lao Da saw his companion's impatient expression and glared at him fiercely. After thinking for a while, he said to the young man:
"Little brother, you should be able to tell a little by now. Truth be told. The two of us did save you for another reason, but this is also a great opportunity for you. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will spend the rest of your life regretting it. Little brother, do you want to hear it? "
"Since the two seniors have said so, then I will listen first." There was no expression on Liu Ming's face, but he slowly agreed.
"The situation is like this. The two of us are servants of the Practitioner Bai Clan. This time, we were ordered to send young master Bai Cong Tian to participate in the Barbarian Ghost Sect's Opening Spirit Ceremony this year …" Guan Lao Da was a smart person and knew that Liu Ming was already suspicious of them. Without hiding anything, he told Liu Ming everything that had happened and the reason why the two of them were in danger.
"There was no other way, so the two of us thought of letting little brother take the young master's place and participate in the Opening Spirit Ceremony. As long as you go, not only will the two of us be able to avoid being killed, little brother will also receive a great opportunity. This kind of opportunity is something that many disciples of the Clans beg for. Little brother's misfortune is not as simple as meeting with bandits. However, as long as you become a Spirit Apostle, there is nothing in this world that you cannot solve. "Guan Lao Da said seriously.
Hearing this, Liu Ming's expression changed slightly.
"This Opening Spirit Ceremony must be very dangerous. What will happen if you don't pass?"
"If you want to obtain a great opportunity, you must take a certain amount of risk. I believe that little brother will definitely pass. Even if you don't pass, it's fine. You will just have to stay in the Sect for a few years and do some hard labor." Guan Lao Da's expression did not change, but his answer was very vague.
The youth's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He knew that the other party was not telling the truth, but he also knew that there was no point in asking.
The most important thing was that he really did want to participate in the Opening Spirit Ceremony.
After living on Savage Island for so many years, the youth already knew that as long as he was strong enough, he could do anything he wanted to do.
As for the things that he had buried in his heart, he needed to be strong enough to realize them.
Furthermore, even if he didn't want to agree, the two middle leveled practitioners in front of him would definitely not agree.
After all, the other party had already revealed such a secret. If he didn't cooperate, the only thing that would happen to him would be death.
Liu Ming thought about it over and over again in his heart. Finally, he came to a decision.
"Okay, I will agree to this. However, I need to make it clear that this matter is extremely dangerous. After I help you this time, I will be able to repay the two seniors for saving my life. Also, I hope that the two seniors will agree to two conditions for me to go to the Barbarian Ghost Sect. "
"As long as little brother is willing to participate in the Opening Spirit Ceremony in place of the young master, we will agree to any conditions." Gu Lao San was overjoyed when he heard this.
Guan Lao Da hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.
"As the two seniors know, even though I have Yuan Li in my body, I don't know anything about practitioners. Therefore, I hope that the two of you can teach me a few methods to protect my life on the way. As for the second condition, I hope to obtain the young master's Practitioner Weapon. As the young master, the Practitioner Weapon he uses shouldn't be too bad. This way, if something happens to me in the Barbarian Ghost Sect, I will be able to deal with it. "Liu Ming bluntly stated his conditions.
"The first condition is easy to discuss. Even if little brother didn't mention it, the two of us would still teach you everything we know. As for the second condition, that Practitioner Weapon is extremely powerful. I'm afraid that a beginner like you won't be able to easily control it. "Gu Lao San revealed a hesitant expression.
"I am willing to give it a try." Liu Ming didn't have the slightest intention of backing down.
"This …"
"Okay, the Practitioner Weapon is yours." Guan Lao Da, who was standing to the side, clenched his teeth and agreed.
When Gu Lao San heard this, although he still revealed a reluctant expression, he didn't say anything in the end.
"Okay, then it's settled. From now on, I will do my best to cooperate with the two seniors. What is the young master's name? In the future, I will use this name. "Liu Ming nodded his head and asked.
"The young master's name is Bai Cong Tian. These are the items that he used when he was alive. Little brother, take them." Gu Lao San's arm moved and opened the large bag beside him. From within, he took out a small white bag.
After Liu Ming received the package, he immediately opened it and took a look inside.
Inside, he saw a few clean clothes, a few small ornaments, and an extremely eye-catching yellow copper ring.
The copper ring was simple and unadorned. Its surface was engraved with faint silver patterns, giving off an abnormally heavy feeling.
