The Life and Death Pavilion was gloomy and cold as always.
"Oh, it's Liu. It took him more than half a year to come back this time." A middle-aged man in a gray robe greeted Liu Ming with a smile as soon as he saw him coming in from the gate.
The ginger civet cat on his shoulder glanced at Liu Ming lazily and continued to snore.
"Elder Jiang, nice to meet you." Liu Ming said with a smile. He then raised one hand and a black light flashed in his palm. There was a cloth bag stained with blood.
The middle-aged man in a gray robe glanced at the cloth bag in his hand and his smile became wider. He raised one hand and took the cloth bag with a roll of gray light.
This person's attitude was completely different from that of Liu Ming's when he first came.
However, this was also a matter of course. Within two years, Liu Ming had consecutively killed five or six evil cultivators with a bounty for many years. As the deputy elder of the Life and Death Pavilion, the middle-aged man in a gray robe had been rewarded by the sect once.
At this time, the middle-aged man in a gray robe opened the cloth bag in his hand and saw a bloody head. The head was smooth and there were two rows of scars. It seemed to be a monk.
"This … This is the perverted monk Chang Ji from the Xian Kong Island in the South Sea! This person has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Jin Dan Realm. He has been committing crimes in the South Sea for a long time. Because of his cautious and suspicious nature, he has been wanted by the Taiqing Gate and the Nature Work Sect for nearly a hundred years, but no one has been able to kill him. Liu is really good! "The middle-aged man in a gray robe's eyes lit up and then said with joy.
"This person is really cunning. It took me a lot of effort to force him into a desperate situation." Liu Ming said lightly.
Speaking of which, the Netherworld Soul-Searching Technique was a great help in killing the Changji monk. He had chased the monk for several months before he found the monk's hiding place in a sect in the South China Sea.
In the past year, all the evil cultivators on the Life and Death List seemed to have sensed something and hid their tracks. It was getting more and more difficult to find one. Moreover, the information provided by the Sect was very little. Most of the time, when he followed the information, those evil cultivators had already escaped and disappeared.
It was no wonder that the Middle Sky Continent was too vast. Any two regions were tens of thousands of miles apart. Even if they took the Daiyue Jade Boat and used the teleportation array, it would take a lot of time.
Now, if he wanted to continue earning contribution points through the Life and Death List, it was getting more and more difficult.
"This perverted monk's name on the life and death list isn't low. Our sect has placed a bounty of 300,000 contribution points on him." The middle-aged man in a gray robe carefully checked the head. After confirming that it was Changchun Monk himself, he put it away.
Liu Ming nodded, took the identity token from his waist with one hand and handed it over. The middle-aged man in a gray robe took out a small silver stick and made a gesture with his left hand. Suddenly, a silver light shot into the identity token.
Liu Ming took the token and checked the contribution points in it. It had accumulated more than 900,000 points, but it was still a long way from 1.5 million points. He couldn't help but sigh.
Although the contribution points of the inner door's life and death list were higher than the outer door's, it was a little less relative to the exponential increase in the strength of the bounty target.
However, this couldn't be helped. The inner door's life and death list was originally open to the inner disciple above the Crystallization Period. Even if the outer disciple wanted to take it, he was not qualified at all.
"Looking at Liu's expression, it seems that you are still in urgent need of a lot of Sect's contribution points?" The middle-aged man in a gray robe looked at Liu Ming's expression and suddenly asked with a smile.
"Jiang Qinbei is right. I do need a lot of Sect's contribution points because of one thing." Liu Ming replied frankly without hiding.
"That's just right. I have a bounty here with a bounty of 350,000 contribution points. This person killed the great-grandson of a Celestial State elder of our sect decades ago. The elder couldn't do it personally due to the rules of the life and death list. He once promised that if our disciple can kill the evil cultivator, he will add an additional 100,000 contribution points. "The middle-aged man in a gray robe said slowly.
"450,000 contribution points! Elder Jiang, please enlighten me! "Liu Ming's breathing was rough, and he was tempted.
"That person's name is Fei Yi. He is a solitary evil cultivator. He cultivated to the Jin Dan State more than two hundred years ago and is proficient in illusion techniques. Rumor has it that this person has the extremely rare Thousand Illusion Spirit Body. He can change his shape at will. He is known as the 'Thousand Illusion Human Demon' among the evil cultivators." The middle-aged man in a gray robe looked at Liu Ming with interest and took out a piece of Jade Slips.
"However, regarding this person, the Sect can't track his specific whereabouts. This is the information about the 'Thousand Illusion Human Demon' that the Celestial State elder sent people to collect in the past decades. A copy has been kept here. If Martial Nephew is interested in taking this task, it should be of some help to you." The middle-aged man in a gray robe said lightly and threw the Jade Slips over.
"Thank you, senior, I will take this task." Liu Ming reached out to catch the Jade Slips and said resolutely.
450,000 contribution points was really a great temptation. As long as there were some clues, he didn't believe that he couldn't find the location of the Thousand Illusion Human Demon with the help of the Netherworld Soul Searching Skill.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming quickly left the Life and Death Pavilion and flew back to the cave house in the Fallen Serene Peak.
"Master, you are finally back!"
As soon as he walked into the cave house, a girl with a black veil rushed up to greet him. It was Scorpion.
In the past two years, when he went out to kill the evil cultivators on the life and death list, he didn't bring the two spiritual pets with him. On the one hand, after advancing to the Pseudo Pellet State, he was confident that he didn't need the help of the two spiritual pets to complete the life and death list task. On the other hand, after Demon Flying Skull swallowed the Jin Dan State ghost last time, it had been in a semi-sleep state, so leaving Scorpion behind could also take care of it.
"Did anyone come to visit while I was away?" Liu Ming asked casually.
"Master is now a popular figure in the Sect. During this period, many people naturally came to visit, but because master was not here, most of them only left a message." As Scorpion said, she handed more than a dozen sound transmitting talismans to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming grunted softly, took it, and checked them one by one.
These sound transmitting talismans were left by some inner disciples, and the content was similar. They all expressed their willingness to get to know Liu Ming, and there were a few female disciples who secretly conveyed their admiration for Liu Ming between the lines.
Liu Ming shook his head, and he was a little dumbfounded. Everyone in the inner door should know about his engagement with Calan. These female disciples were really bold.
He crushed these talismans and picked up the light blue sound transmitting talisman at the bottom. After checking it, there was a strange expression on his face. It was left by Calan.
Speaking of it, I haven't seen this woman for a while.
Liu Ming penetrated into the sound transmitting talisman with Divine Thought. After a while, his face was slightly startled.
In the sound transmitting talisman, Calan only left a few words. The general idea was that she was about to cultivate behind closed doors to break through the bottleneck of the later stage of the Crystallization Period.
With Calan's aptitude, this speed was normal. In the end, the woman also left a sentence, reminding Liu Ming to be more careful when he went out to travel.
Liu Ming put down the sound transmitting talisman, and a complicated look appeared on his face. After a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Calan's wording almost regarded herself as his dual cultivation partner.
He didn't completely have no feelings for this woman. After all, from the day he stepped into the Savage Ghost Sect and officially opened the spirit, this woman entered his world, and she followed him all the way from Yunchuan to Zhongtian.
It was just that every time he thought of the word dual cultivation, a cold and valiant figure in white would always appear in his heart.
"Ye …"
Liu Ming finally sighed. He flicked his sleeves, and the talisman in his hand suddenly turned into little blue light spots and dissipated.
Seeing this, Scorpion stood aside obediently and didn't disturb him.
After Liu Ming took a few deep breaths, he finally suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in his heart. His expression had already returned to normal. He turned around and walked to the secret room next door to check on Fei Er's situation. Seeing that the green-clothed boy was still sleeping and there was nothing wrong with him, Liu Ming gave Scorpion a few words before leaving.
When Liu Ming returned to the secret room, he took out the Jade Slips given to him by the Life and Death Pavilion middle-aged man and stuck it on his forehead to study it.
There wasn't much content in the Jade Slips, and it was mostly information about the "Thousand Illusion Human Devil". For example, this person's background, who his master was, where he often appeared, and so on. However, the records were only scattered fragments.
After Liu Ming looked through it in detail, he found some useful things in it.
He quietly thought for a while in the secret room, and his eyes gradually lit up. He had a general plan for finding the Thousand Illusion Human Devil.
"Scorpion, this time, you come with me." Liu Ming walked out of the secret room and said to Scorpion, who was standing outside the door.
Bone Scorpion's perception and control of the earth element was quite mysterious. In the Heaven Gate Secret Realm, it had helped him before. This time, it might be useful in finding the Thousand Illusion Human Devil.
"Yes, Master!" Scorpion was surprised and happy to hear this. Because of the soul contract, Scorpion and Fei Er were not willing to be separated from Liu Ming.
However, Scorpion immediately raised her pretty face and said with some hesitation, "But Master, leaving Fei Er alone in the cave house … Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"It doesn't matter. Before I left, I will open all the protection restrictions of the cave house. No one will disturb Fei Er's cultivation. After all, this is the Taiqing Gate! "Liu Ming shook his head and chuckled.
Hearing this, Scorpion was completely relieved. With a twist of her body, she turned into a black shadow and flew into the Soul-cultivating Bag.
Next, Liu Ming did not stay in the cave house for long. He quickly walked out and muttered something. He made a few hand signs and landed them on the cave house token.
The door of the cave house was immediately covered with a layer of faint green light. The internal protection restrictions were all activated.
After doing all this, he moved his body and the black cloud under his feet condensed. He turned into a black light and flew toward the Sect's teleportation hall.
