"Young master, since you've already grasped the basics of Yuan Manipulation, you can now use your Practitioner Weapons to learn some other life-saving techniques. However, if you want to master them in a short period of time, it's best not to be greedy. I suggest that you learn two or three techniques first. After all, we only learn the most basic techniques. Once you enter the sect, I'm sure there will be better techniques for you to choose from. "Guan Lao Da suggested.
"Okay, then other than one attack technique, the other two should be life-saving techniques. I'll choose the Yuan Wall Technique and the Light Body Technique." Liu Ming had obviously thought about this and replied without hesitation.
"Okay. There's no need to choose an attack technique. Every Practitioner Weapon's attack is fixed. All you need to do is gather the Yuan Li in your body and release it through the Practitioner Weapon. For example, my glove type Practitioner Weapon's attack is a ball of Yuan Li. Gu Lao San's sword type Practitioner Weapon's attack is a sword light formed by the condensation of Yuan Li. As for young master's Tiger's Bite Bracelet, it's one of the rarer ones. I haven't personally seen it before. However, its power is definitely not small. Later, I'll teach you a few techniques and you can slowly study them. If there's anything you don't understand, the two of us can explain it to you. "Guan Lao Da explained.
"When fighting with others, no matter what technique you want to use, you have to calculate the number of times you can use it. Practitioners like us cannot be compared to true Spirit Apostles and Spirit Masters. The Yuan Li in our body is very limited. Every time we use a Practitioner Weapon, it's a huge drain. For a beginner practitioner like you, I'm afraid that if you use your Practitioner Weapon three or four times in a fight, your Yuan Li will be completely used up. On the other hand, Qi Practitioners who had lost their origin energy were only slightly stronger than ordinary people. Young Master, please remember! "Gu Lao San reminded him.
"If that's the case, then practitioners don't need a second Practitioner Weapon. It's not that having more Practitioner Weapons is better." Liu Ming was a little surprised.
"That's usually the case. After all, low and middle level practitioners have limited Yuan Li. Even if you have more Practitioner Weapons, it won't be of much use. However, it was a different story for high-tier and top-tier Qi Practitioners. Their yuan power was deep, and if they had a few different types of seal weapons, they would naturally be able to flexibly use many methods to defeat their enemies. However, no matter what method he wanted to use, he could only use one Practitioner Weapon at the same time. He had heard that the Spirit Apostles and Spirit Masters that came to him seemed to have a way to break this restriction. However, normal Practitioners like me and Gu San wouldn't know the specifics. "Guan Lao Da said with a serious expression.
"Thank you for your guidance. I finally understand a little. I will definitely pay attention to these things in the future." Liu Ming cupped his hands and said with a serious expression.
…
Two months later, Liu Ming and the other two were slowly climbing up a rugged mountain path on a pitch-black mountain.
This mountain path was abnormally thrilling. On both sides were bottomless cliffs, and it was extremely narrow. Only one person could pass at a time. Moreover, because no one walked on the stone steps all year round, they were covered with dark green moss, making the mountain path incomparably slippery.
If it weren't for the fact that the three of them were Practitioners with superior agility, they would have fallen off the cliff many times already.
Even so, Guan Lao Da and Gu Lao San were trembling with fear. Not long after, they were drenched in sweat.
On the other hand, the youth walking in between the two had a calm expression on his face. It was as if he didn't see the danger in front of him at all.
Guan Lao Da and Gu San were surprised, but they couldn't help but admire his courage.
To Liu Ming, this little bit of danger was nothing compared to the near-death experiences he had on Savage Island.
After walking for a full four hours, the three of them finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
After carefully looking around, the three of them were dumbfounded.
Even though the top of the mountain was a few acres of flat land, there wasn't even a shadow of a person in sight.
"Guan Lao Da, did you find the wrong place? Is this the designated place? "Liu Ming furrowed his eyebrows and asked.
"Young master, this is an important matter. How could I remember the wrong place? Perhaps the messenger hasn't arrived yet." Guan Lao Da wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled bitterly.
"How much time do we have until the deadline?" Liu Ming thought for a moment before asking.
"Two more days." This time, it was Gu Lao San who answered.
"Since we still have time, let's wait here for a bit." Liu Ming looked around the mountain and made a decision.
At this moment, he had completely immersed himself in the role of the young master of the Bai Clan.
Guan Lao Da and Gu Lao San naturally agreed without any objections.
Thus, the few of them found a clean rock and sat down to rest.
Time slowly passed by. Not long after, the sun hung high in the sky and it was noon.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from the other side of the mountain. Liu Ming and the other two who were meditating were startled and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
At the exit of another mountain path that led to the peak of the mountain, a figure flashed, and five people walked up.
There were two burly men, an old man, a middle-aged woman, and a purple-clothed girl that he was escorting.
The two large men were abnormally valiant. They wore embroidered robes and had blades at their waists.
The old man wore a green robe and had a thin appearance. His eyes were slightly squinted and he had a goatee.
The middle-aged woman's appearance was ordinary, but her skin was slightly fairer than normal. She wore a green servant's outfit.
As for the purple-clothed girl, she seemed to be only eleven or twelve years old. She was extremely cute, and on her jade-like face were two large, black eyes. As she looked around, she would occasionally reveal a strange and lively expression.
When the five people saw that there were already people at the top of the mountain, they were startled. However, after carefully looking at Liu Ming and the other two, the old man said something.
Thus, the four escorted the young girl to the other side of the mountain and found a few rocks to rest on. Vaguely, they looked at Liu Ming and the other two from a distance.
Seeing this, Liu Ming had a trace of doubt in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Guan Lao Da and the other two with a questioning gaze.
"Young master, don't worry. They are not from the Barbarian Ghost Sect. They should be disciples from other clans who have come to receive them. Hehe, it looks like we didn't find the wrong place. "Guan Lao Da laughed softly.
"So that's how it is. If that's the case, then there should be more people coming." Liu Ming revealed a thoughtful expression.
"That's hard to say. It depends on whether or not the clans in the area are willing to take out enough resources to buy a spot for the Opening Spirit Ceremony." Guan Lao Da replied.
Liu Ming nodded his head and didn't ask any more questions. He closed his eyes and began to meditate again.
At this moment, it looked like he was resting. In reality, the Yuan Li in his body was circulating in a special pattern. This caused the Tiger's Bite Bracelet on his wrist to flicker.
Fortunately, all of this was covered by his long sleeves, so outsiders couldn't see anything.
But not long after, a yellow-faced man in a brocade robe on the opposite side suddenly stood up and walked directly toward Liu Ming and the other two.
Seeing this, Guan Lao Da and Gu Lao San's eyes flashed as they looked at the newcomer with vigilance.
Liu Ming also sensed something and opened his eyes.
"I am Guanling City's Mu Clan's guest, Tie Yun. I have come on the orders of my lady, Ming Zhu, to greet you three. I wonder who you three are … "The embroidered robed man didn't walk too close. He stopped seven or eight feet away from Liu Ming and politely asked with his hands folded.
"So it is the famous Mu Clan. I am Jade Wood City's Bai Clan's guest, Guan Da. This is my family's young master, Bai Chong Tian." Guan Lao Da's expression turned serious as he hurriedly stood up to return the greeting.
"So it is the young master of the Bai Clan. That's great. Our two clans have quite a bit of friendship. Would you like your young master to come and sit with us? "The embroidered robed man was stunned at first, but he immediately reacted with a face full of smiles.
"Yes, my young master's body is a bit unwell, so he won't disturb Lady Ming Zhu." Guan Lao Da hesitated for a moment before tactfully declining.
"Oh, that's a pity. Then when we arrive, my lady will chat with Young Master Bai." The embroidered robed man was a bit surprised. After looking deeply at Liu Ming, he didn't force the issue. After cupping his hands, he turned around and walked away.
"What is the Guanling Mu Clan's background? Is it very famous?" Once the embroidered robed man was far away, Liu Ming opened his mouth to ask.
"It's not just famous! The Bai Clan is a true Practitioner Clan in the Da Xuan Country. The Mu Clan and the Bai Clan seem to be similar, but the difference between them is huge. I think it would take three or four Bai Clans to match the Mu Clan. I've heard that the Mu Clan has four Spirit Apostles under other clans. "Gu Lao San said fearfully from the side.
"So that's how it is. But what did he say about the two clans being on good terms with each other? Could it be that they saw through something?" Liu Ming continued to ask.
"That shouldn't be the case. When the previous clan leader was in power, the Bai Clan and the Mu Clan did interact for a period of time. But now that the clan leader has taken over, for some reason, the two clans rarely interact. At most, the Mu Clan has heard of your name, but they have never seen you in person. "Guan Lao Da replied with certainty.
On the side, Gu Lao San also nodded his head.
Seeing this, the worry in Liu Ming's heart naturally calmed down.
At the same time, within the Mu Clan, the purple clothed girl named Mu Ming Zhu had just heard the embroidered robed man's reply and her face revealed a trace of astonishment.
"Uncle Tie, they are actually from the Bai Clan? What a coincidence! I think I've heard the name Bai Cong Tian from my father before, but I don't have a deep impression of him. Third Uncle, do you know this young master of the Bai Clan? "The girl's charming face turned to the skinny elder beside her and asked.
"Bai Cong Tian. Yes, the Bai Clan does have a young master like this. He should be the illegitimate son of the Bai Clan Leader. Later on, he borrowed the identity of an adopted son to become his disciple. "The skinny elder replied with a slight smile.
He had actually casually revealed the secret that the Bai Clan Leader had been trying to hide.
"Hmph, the Bai Clan Leader let my aunt down in the past. It's not strange that he would do something like this. However, the Bai Clan Leader really does value this illegitimate son. He actually convinced the elders to send him here to participate in the Opening Spirit Ceremony. "The girl curled her lips and said with a trace of disdain.
