Soon after, in a small hidden cave, Liu Ming sat cross-legged on a flat boulder. He was playing with four gray beads in his hand with a contemplative look on his face.
The four beads looked the same, and their surfaces were inscribed with circles of strange runes that looked like spirit tattoos.
After a long while, he injected his spiritual power into one of the beads.
The runes on the surface of the bead flashed, emitting a faint gray light, and floated up from his palm.
Then, he injected his spiritual power into the other three beads, and the four beads suddenly floated up at the same time. Apart from that, there was nothing special about them, and they did not form a square boundary like when Ji Ying summoned them.
Liu Ming pondered for a while, stretched out a finger, and pointed at these beads slightly, constantly changing the positions of the four beads.
However, no matter how he arranged these beads, there was still no abnormality.
"It seems that some special method is needed to build a boundary." Liu Ming smacked his lips with some pity and murmured.
Since he could not comprehend it for a while, he did not continue to waste time on it. After putting away the four beads, he turned his hand and took out the storage bracelet he obtained from Ji Ying, and immersed his divine sense in it.
Thinking so, he immersed his divine sense into the storage bracelet. After a while, with a wave of his hand, a pile of things appeared on the ground of the cave. For a time, the entire cave was filled with the aura of treasures.
As a high rank Beastkin of the wild continent, Ji Ying's net worth was not low. Just the spirit stones alone were no less than 40 to 50 million. The other good things made Liu Ming a little dazzled.
Among these things, most of them were various kinds of spirit herbs and spiritual materials, including the new things that Ji Ying had obtained in the ruins of the upper realm.
"Rainbow Coral!"
Liu Ming's eyes turned and stopped on a colorful coral branch, and his face was overjoyed.
Not long ago, he obtained a thousand-year-old soul-chasing grass in the ruins. Together with the Rainbow Coral in his hand and several other auxiliary spiritual materials, he could refine a kind of medicinal pill called Heart Torment Pill.
Once mastered, it would definitely be beneficial to condensing the Jin Dan.
Speaking of which, the recipe of this Paralysis Heart Pill was widely circulated in Taiqing Gate, but it was not valued by people. The reason was that the thousand years soul-chasing grass and colorful coral were both extinct spiritual materials in the Middle Sky Continent.
As for the other supplementary spirit materials needed to refine this pill, they were all common items and were not difficult to obtain.
After Liu Ming carefully kept the seven-colored coral, he planned to leave the ruins of the Upper Realm and immediately look for an opportunity to refine this pill.
The next few spirit herbs and ores were also some rare items. There were even some that Liu Ming couldn't identify, but they were probably items from the Wild Continent.
After he sorted the spirit stones and spiritual materials into his Sumeru Ring, more than half of the things on the ground were gone.
The remaining things were a dozen spiritual weapons, a few jade bottles, a gray animal skin book, and a black box. He didn't know what was inside.
As a beastkin cultivator of the Jin Dan later stage, Ji Ying's spiritual weapon was at least a superb spiritual weapon. He even had 4 to 5 magic weapon prototypes.
Unfortunately, these spiritual weapons all exuded waves of beastkin qi. Obviously, they were sacrificially refined with the beastkin clan's forging method. It was impossible for a human to control them at all.
After Liu Ming looked at them for a while, he kept all these spiritual weapons.
The medicinal pills in the few jade bottles were also beastkin cultivator's medicinal pills. He also kept them into the Sumeru Ring.
Finally, he looked at the animal skin book and the black box.
"Huh!"
Liu Ming's eyes stayed on the black box. This thing actually exuded a faint demonic qi.
He frowned slightly, opened the box, and saw a thumb-sized transparent bead, next to it was a Black Jade Slips.
Liu Ming picked up the Jade Slips and stuck it on his forehead, then took it off after a while.
"It turns out to be a Magic Crystal Bead …" Liu Ming pinched the transparent bead with his fingers and frowned.
The Magic Crystal Bead was an item from the Ten Thousand Demon Continent. It was used by the demon dwellers to identify and test various demonic qi. At the same time, it was also used to test the talent of the demon dwellers, just like how the human cultivator tested the spiritual root.
Liu Ming was holding the Magic Crystal Bead at the moment, and there was also a faint black light in it.
This should be because he had demonized several times before, and some demonic qi had accumulated in his body.
"This thing should be the spoils of war that Ji Ying got from killing a demon dweller. It is extremely rare in the Middle Sky Continent." As Liu Ming thought so, he put the bead into the Sumeru Ring. But after thinking about it, he took out the Magic Crystal Bead and kept it close to his body.
Although this Magic Crystal Bead was not a treasure, it might be useful in the future due to its sensitivity to demonic qi.
Next, Liu Ming picked up the animal skin book and roughly flipped through it.
This was a beastkin scripture called "True Spirit Scripture". According to the records above, this scripture was the relic of "True Spirit Shadow Lord", the ancestor of the Shadow Wolf Clan in the wild continent tens of thousands of years ago.
This "True Spirit Scripture" was roughly divided into two parts. The first half recorded several powerful beastkin cultivation techniques. Ji Ying should be cultivating a technique called "Phantom Secrets" recorded in it.
These techniques were mainly focused on body refinement. Some of them could be described as fantastic ideas, which made Liu Ming's eyes widen.
However, he had already cultivated the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison. No matter how exquisite these beastkin cultivation techniques were, he would not be stupid enough to re-cultivate them.
As for some of the beastkin clan mystic arts recorded in the second half of "True Spirit Scripture", Liu Ming's eyes lit up.
Most of these beastkin clan mystic arts were weird, overbearing, and powerful. But more importantly, a few of these mystic arts had no restrictions on the main cultivation technique and race. Although he was a human, he could also cultivate them.
One of them, Blood Shield Technique, belonged to this category.
At the end of the scripture, some alchemy and forging techniques of True Spirit Shadow Lord were also recorded. It seemed that this ancestor of the Shadow Wolf Clan was an all-rounder.
"Huh, this is True Spirit Bead!" Liu Ming suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
In the last refining technique of True Spirit Scripture, a refining method of "True Spirit Bead" was recorded. The finished product looked exactly the same as the four gray beads he had obtained before.
As he had guessed, the True Spirit Bead was not a simple defensive spiritual weapon, but a product of the combination of refining and formation. However, some special refining method was needed to control it.
Liu Ming read it word by word, then he closed his eyes. After half an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes and raised one hand. Four gray beads appeared around him.
He murmured and waved his hand to cast four spells on each bead. The four gray beads immediately dispersed with a "whoosh", and a gray glow rolled out from their surfaces. Instantly, a faint gray square boundary was formed, covering his whole body.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Liu Ming's face.
The fluctuation of the boundary was far less powerful than when Ji Ying had activated it. Obviously, the spirituality of the four True Spirit Beads was greatly damaged, but at least it meant that they could still be used.
His eyes flashed, and he flicked his finger. The Bitter Wheel Sword flew up from his body and turned into a dazzling sword light, which heavily chopped the gray boundary.
The dazzling purple electric light instantly hit the boundary, making a series of crackling sounds.
However, the entire gray boundary only rippled a little, and soon calmed down.
Liu Ming's eyes were full of surprise. The defensive power of this boundary was beyond his expectation.
Then, he cast several more spells, and the gray boundary dispersed. The four True Spirit Beads floated around him, one above, one below, one to the left, and one to the right.
With the four beads as the horns, a gray light screen opened up.
This light screen was several times thicker than the gray boundary, and it could also change its shape according to the position of the four beads.
"Good!" Liu Ming nodded, feeling extremely satisfied.
His Thick Earth Shield was damaged by Yaoji, and he needed a prototype of a defensive magic treasure. These four True Spirit Beads were just right.
After putting away the four True Spirit Beads, Liu Ming sat cross-legged in the cave, pondering. He turned his hand, took out the Jade Slips that Lan Si had given him, put them on his forehead, and sent his Soul Consciousness into them.
After a while, his face changed. He suddenly took off the Jade Slips, shook his sleeves, and took out the map of the ruins. Finally, his eyes stopped at a remote corner on the map.
"It's here …"
The place marked on the Jade Slips was a snowy land, which was quite far from where he was now. With his Escaping Speed, even if he flew at full speed, it would take him more than ten days to get there.
Although the distance was not a problem, according to Lan Si, many experts of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan were gathering there, so this trip would be full of dangers.
After fighting with the Demon Dwellers and Ji Ying, Liu Ming gradually felt that all the practitioners who participated in this trip to the ruins were not ordinary, especially the Jin Dan leaders of each team.
Although he was known as the No.1 in the Inner Gate of the Taiqing Gate, he was still a bit inferior to the evildoers of the Jin Dan level.
However, since it involved the life-prolonging elixir, he had to go on this trip. It seemed that he had to make more preparations.
After making up his mind, he did not hesitate anymore. He turned his hand, and a white fruit fell into his hand. It was the True Soul Fruit that Lan Si had given him.
This True Soul Fruit could increase a lot of spiritual force. If he took it now, it would strengthen his Soul Consciousness, which would be more secure for the future treasure hunting trip.
The light green True Soul Fruit exuded a faint fragrance that seemed to be there or not, making it seem very mysterious.
Liu Ming immediately flicked his index finger, and the white mist flew into his mouth after drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
"Gulp."
Liu Ming only felt a warm breath enter his mouth, and without chewing at all, he directly swallowed it into his stomach.
A warm current surged in his internal organs.
After a few breaths of time, the heat flow in his chest subsided slightly, but it was replaced by a heat flow that rapidly rushed to the top of his head. Immediately after, a series of buzzing sounds could be heard, and his entire head felt like it was going to explode.
He knew that this was the process of refining the medicinal power, so he didn't panic. He just held his head with both hands, gritted his teeth, and madly channeled the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison to protect the clarity of his divine sense.
After about an hour, the buzzing sound gradually subsided and was replaced by a burst of spiritual relaxation. His sea of consciousness suddenly expanded, and a feeling of sudden enlightenment hit him.
Liu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the medicinal power of the True Soul Fruit had finally managed to fuse into his body.
At this time, he only felt refreshed, and the power of his Divine Sense had increased by about 10% compared to before.
There was still a small half of the medicinal power of the True Soul Fruit stored in his body. Liu Ming estimated that if he refined all of it, his spiritual force could increase by about 20%.
In this way, even if he tried to break through the Jin Dan Realm in the future and tried to condense the Jin Dan, it would be easier.
