After Liu Ming's figure left the hall, Elder Tian next to Yin Jiuling sighed and slowly said, "Let's go.
"This trip to the upper realm ruins is extremely rare. It's a pity that Xiaowu has yet to return from the Evil Ghost Realm. Otherwise, if she joins forces with Liu Ming, our Fallen Serene Peak will definitely be able to amaze the world."
"It's a pity that Xiaowu missed it this time, but junior fellow apprentice can rest assured. With Liu Ming around, our Fallen Serene Peak will not return empty-handed this time!" Yin Jiuling said lightly.
The rumors about the upper realm ruins quickly spread throughout the Taiqing Gate. Whether it was the inner disciple or the outer disciple, they all began to talk about it with relish.
After all, this was a great opportunity that could only come once in 30,000 years. In the past, many disciples in the Sect couldn't get it at all.
Somehow, the news that Liu Ming had been selected for this trip to the upper realm ruins leaked out. Not long after he returned to his cave house, many disciples came to visit him. This gave Liu Ming a headache.
After he politely refused a few waves of people, he simply closed the door of the cave house and slept for a day and a night. Then, he woke up in high spirits and began to make plans for the upcoming trip to the ruins.
He first went to the 4th floor of the Scriptures Pavilion and rummaged through some relevant information related to this.
As Yin Jiuling said, the upper realm ruins were a secret in the Taiqing Gate. There was not much useful information that he could find. Most of it was a few sentences in the notes left by some predecessors.
In fact, this was not surprising. After all, the last trip to the ruins was 30,000 years ago. Such a long time span was enough to make most people forget about this matter.
However, from the scattered information, he still learned some of the situation in the ruins. Compared to the trip to the ruins tens of thousands of years ago, only half of the disciples of the Taiqing Gate could return safely. Even the leading disciple of the Jin Dan Sect was killed.
This made Liu Ming shudder, and he had a clearer understanding of the dangers of this trip.
Then, he went to the Sect's market place to dispose of all the evil cultivator's belongings that he had obtained some time ago, and then purchased some high-level Escape Charms and other auxiliary items.
Naturally, he also bought a lot of healing, detoxification, and recovery pills.
In short, he had prepared everything that could be used in the ruins.
While Liu Ming was busy preparing for the trip to the Upper Realm ruins, the Sect's quota for the trip to the ruins was gradually confirmed.
The disciples who were selected were naturally the most outstanding elite disciples of their respective peaks. They were the core and strongest disciples of their respective peaks, and they were also bestowed with all sorts of defensive treasures and medicinal pills.
After the initial uproar, the entire Thousands Spirit Mountain quickly calmed down again. Everyone was quietly waiting for the upper realm ruins' channel to open.
On this day, Liu Ming was meditating quietly in the secret room, but there was a knock on the door of the cave house.
These days, there were too many people who came to visit. He was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he ignored it directly.
However, the knocking on the door persisted. It would sound every half a cup of tea's time.
After a while, the sound finally stopped. With a buzzing sound, a pale purple voice transmission talisman flew in.
Liu Ming frowned slightly. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the secret room. He grabbed the purple talisman that was suspended in the air and entered it with Divine Thought.
At the next moment, his face suddenly changed. He quickly walked to the door of the cave house and waved to open the door.
Outside the door, two stunning girls in purple clothes were standing side by side. Two pairs of beautiful eyes were looking at Liu Ming inside the door. It was the two sisters, Ouyang Qian and Ouyang Qin.
"Brother Liu, it has been a long time since we parted at the Jade Dream Mountain Range." Ouyang Qian tidied her hair and smiled faintly.
"Miss Ouyang, I'm sorry for my rudeness." Liu Ming cupped his fist and said with some pride.
"Tsk tsk, Brother Liu is indeed the top inner disciple of Taiqing Gate. He is already so arrogant. We have been knocking on the door for a quarter of an hour. I think if it weren't for Sister Qian's voice transmission talisman, I'm afraid Brother Liu wouldn't condescend to see us." Ouyang Qin, who was on the side, said with a slightly sarcastic tone.
"Qin 'er …" Ouyang Qian pulled Ouyang Qin and whispered.
"Sister Qian, I'm telling the truth. When he came to Jade Dream Mountain, we were very courteous and treated him as an honored guest. Our Great Cultivator Liu, don't you think so? " Ouyang Qin didn't pay any attention to Ouyang Qian. Instead, her gaze fell on Liu Ming and she curled her lips.
"It was my negligence. I ask for the two Miss Ouyang's forgiveness. It's just that there have been too many people visiting recently. I was annoyed and closed the door to the cave residence. The two young ladies, please come in and talk. My humble abode is simple and crude. Please don't laugh at me. "Liu Ming smiled bitterly and turned to let the two women into the cave residence.
"Brother Liu must be joking. As cultivators, how could we care about such details?" Ouyang Qian smiled as she walked into the cave residence. But after looking around, a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
This cave residence was indeed a simple and crude residence. Although it was very clean, it was more appropriate to describe it as a house with only four bare walls. The main hall in front of him was used to receive guests. There were only a few ordinary wooden chairs and a tea table.
There were almost no decorations on the walls. Only a few pieces of moonlight stones were inlaid, bringing some light to the hall.
Although many people in the cultivator group didn't pursue material comforts, it was still very rare to see a cave residence like this in front of them.
The Ouyang sisters looked at each other and saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. It was hard to imagine that the top disciple of the inner gate of Taiqing Gate lived in such a place.
Liu Ming didn't feel anything wrong. After serving a cup of spirit tea to the two, he sat on the main seat of the living room and said,
"To be honest, I'm quite surprised that the two of you came to the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range to find me."
Ouyang Qian put away the surprise in her heart and sat down on the 2 wooden chairs with Ouyang Qin. She chuckled and said,
"Why? Brother Liu doesn't want to see us sisters? "
"What are you talking about, Miss Ouyang? Last time at Xuan Meng Mountain, the two of you also helped me a lot. Although I'm not a gentleman, I also know the truth of repaying kindness." Liu Ming smiled slightly.
"I'm relieved to hear Brother Liu say so. To be honest, Brother Liu, the reason we visited Taiqing Gate this time is actually for the trip to the upper realm ruins. Our Ouyang Family doesn't have the ability to open the passage to the upper realm. Because our two sects have always been on good terms, the family sent us sisters and the disciples of your sect to enter the upper realm ruins to look for some opportunities. "Ouyang Qian put away her smile and glanced at Ouyang Qin next to her. She said with a solemn expression.
"I see." Liu Ming nodded with an indifferent expression, but he felt a little surprised in his heart.
Even the Ouyang Family, one of the 8 major families, couldn't open the passage to the upper realm ruins alone. From the information revealed, it was estimated that apart from the 4 ancient sects, only a few forces such as Sky Beastkin Valley and Big Dipper Pavilion could open the passage by themselves.
As for the good relationship between the two sects that Ouyang Qian mentioned, it was estimated that the Ouyang Family should have secretly given considerable benefits to Taiqing Gate so that the two women could occupy these 2 places.
Some thoughts turned in Liu Ming's mind, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face.
"We sisters came to visit you this time for two reasons. One is to greet Brother Liu. The other reason is that before we left, the Patriarch wrote a letter and asked me to deliver it to Brother Liu." Ouyang Qian said as she took out a white envelope.
Liu Ming was slightly startled. He then reached out and took the envelope. He took out the letter inside and quickly read it. His eyes flashed.
"Have the two Ouyang ladies read the contents of the letter?" Liu Ming suddenly asked after he finished reading.
"Before the Patriarch left, he mentioned it to us sisters. When Brother Liu borrowed the Exquisite Jade Wall, he promised the Ouyang Family something. Therefore, the Patriarch wanted to ask Brother Liu to do his best to protect the two of us during this trip. It can be considered as repaying the previous promise. After the trip, there will be other rewards. "Ouyang Qin said calmly.
"Since the two of you know the contents of the letter, it's easy to talk about it. However, I have a question. Could it be that the Ouyang Family Patriarch already knew that the Upper Realm Ruins was about to open a few years ago? Moreover, when I went to the Jade Dream Mountain, he had already arranged all of this? "Liu Ming revealed a trace of hesitation and asked.
"To be honest, Brother Liu, the Patriarch originally wanted to ask Brother Liu to do another big thing for the Ouyang Family. However, due to the sudden opening of the Upper Realm Ruins, the Family changed their mind at the last minute." Ouyang Qian also explained.
"I see. I made a promise at the Jade Dream Mountain that day. Naturally, I won't go back on it. This trip to the Upper Realm Ruins, I will do my best. However, if the two of you get lost and don't walk with me, it can't be considered as me breaking the promise. "Liu Ming heard this and nodded. Then, he said with a serious expression.
"Of course."
Hearing this, the Ouyang sisters were happy. The two women had a little understanding of Liu Ming's character. Since he had promised, he would not do anything against his heart.
"In addition, I can only promise to protect you within the scope of my ability. If you encounter danger that even I can't handle, the two of you must also be prepared to protect yourselves." Liu Ming pondered for a moment and added.
"If such a thing really happens, we can only blame our shallow luck. We definitely won't dare to blame Brother Liu. However, we are still quite confident in protecting our lives. "Ouyang Qian said with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Liu Ming revealed a trace of a smile on his face. He nodded and said, "In that case, it's settled.
"In that case, it's settled. I wonder if the two of you already have a place to stay? Do you need me to arrange it for you?"
"Your sect has already arranged for us to stay at the Misty Peak. I heard that Brother Liu's Dual Cultivation Partner is a Junior Sister named Calan from the Misty Peak. I wonder if you can introduce us to her?" Ouyang Qian's beautiful eyes flashed slightly as she said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Ming naturally felt awkward.
