After Liu Ming left the main peak of Taiqing Gate, he didn't stop at all. He drove the sword straight to his cave house.
Speaking of which, he hadn't had a good sleep in the past year. He really needed a good rest. In addition, he had to count the final gains from this trip to the ruins and make a good plan for the next step.
While he was thinking, the purple flying sword under his feet had already reached the top of the mountain where the cave house was.
As a result, when he came back to his senses, he saw a graceful figure of a girl standing outside his cave house. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's expression changed. He was naturally familiar with this girl's breath. It was Calan.
"Junior Sister Calan," Liu Ming called in mid-air. At the same time, he kept the sword light and jumped down from the cave house's door.
When Calan heard Liu Ming's voice, her delicate body trembled slightly. She turned her head slightly. After seeing Liu Ming, she smiled,
"Brother Liu, you're back."
This seemingly ordinary sentence made Liu Ming's chest warm. He couldn't help but feel a great tenderness in his heart. He couldn't help but take a few steps forward and hold her in his arms.
Calan obviously didn't expect Liu Ming to suddenly hug her. Her body trembled slightly, and her cheeks blushed, but she didn't break away.
"Junior Sister Calan, I …" Liu Ming realized that he was a little rude. He quickly let go of his hands and suddenly wanted to explain something.
"By the way, Brother Liu has been away for a whole year. A few months ago, I heard that one of the leaders, Senior Brother Jin, was suddenly teleported out of the ruins for some reason. After many inquiries, I learned that there were many changes in the ruins secret realm, and there were many dangers … These days should be the critical time to break through to the later stage of retreat, but I always felt a little restless, so I simply came out and waited here for Brother Liu to come back. " Before waiting for Liu Ming to finish, Calan lowered her head and explained, but there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"I made junior sister worry." Calan's words made Liu Ming feel a little tenderness.
"I know Brother Liu should be more tired. You should quickly go back to the cave house to rest. I'll go to other places alone to relax, then … then I'll go back." After hearing this, Calan bit her red lips and said.
"If junior sister doesn't mind, I'm willing to accompany you." When Liu Ming heard this, he blurted out.
Since he had sex with Yaoji in the ruins that day, he seemed to be suddenly enlightened about the relationship between men and women.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Brother Liu."
When Calan heard this, she was shocked at first, then she nodded with joy.
Liu Ming waved his sleeves without saying a word. A black cloud lifted the two together and flew toward Thousands Spirit Mountain.
In the next few days, whether it was a winding path, a small stream, a pavilion in the middle of the mountain, or a waterfall cave, they could see a man and a woman coming and going.
Liu Ming seemed to have forgotten all the things in the mortal world. He just accompanied Calan to wander around some beautiful places in this Thousands Spirit Mountain, drinking tea and discussing.
Speaking of which, this Myriad Spirit Mountain Range was a paradise filled with outstanding people. Enormous and lofty peaks, a thousand mountains that overlapped each other, white cranes fluttered about, and violet qi enshrouded it. Shockingly, it was a scene of lush greenery, birds chirping, and flowers fragrant.
The relationship between the two was also increasing rapidly.
In the eyes of other disciples, these two had long been like an immortal couple. This made some male disciples who were originally interested in Calan envious and jealous, but they couldn't do anything about it.
After Sha Tongtian witnessed Liu Ming and Calan, he also completely gave up. He plunged into the Scriptures Pavilion of the Sect.
After all, the matter of Liu Ming's brilliance in the ruins of the upper realm had already been spread throughout the Sect on the day everyone returned. The reputation of the top disciple of the inner gate was completely established, and no one doubted it anymore.
There were even rumors that the Sect's higher-ups had already made a decision. Once he advanced to Jin Dan, he would immediately be recruited into the Buddha Palace of the Sect as an esoteric disciple.
…
On this day, on an open grassland at the foot of the mountain, Liu Ming and Calan were casually leaning on a boulder side by side.
"Brother Liu, when I was in Yunchuan that day, you helped me several times. Even after I returned to the Sea Creature Clan, you didn't regard me as an enemy … Since then, is it not just a simple brother-sister relationship for me?" Calan suddenly blinked and asked softly to Liu Ming.
"I …" Liu Ming's face turned slightly red, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing Liu Ming scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, Calan smiled sweetly and asked again,
"That day when you participated in the gambling fight on my behalf and challenged the Wen brothers, why did you promise me? After that, when the Sect Master engaged us, he didn't say anything to refuse. You should have some feelings for me in your heart, right? "
"Junior Sister Calan, actually …" There was a trace of embarrassment on Liu Ming's face. After a moment of hesitation, he was about to say something when suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the token on Calan's waist.
Calan's expression changed slightly. She clapped her hand, and a spiritual light flashed out of the token and stopped in the void.
"I left the Sect for only about a month, and you actually came out on your own to travel around! Now is the critical moment for you to break through. Why don't you quickly return to the mountain and continue your closed-door training! "
Listening to the voice, it was her master, Master Miao Yin.
"Brother Liu, Master urged me to cultivate behind closed doors. I'm afraid I have to leave you for a while." Calan's pretty face was bitter. She stood up and said reluctantly.
"Since Master's Junior said so, junior sister apprentice should go back to cultivate first. I have some elixirs to help you break through the bottleneck of the Crystallization Period later stage. Maybe it will be helpful for you to break through the bottleneck. " Liu Ming frowned when he heard the words, but he immediately took out a few bottles of elixirs, including several earth grade yun spirit pills.
"Thank you, Brother Liu."
After Calan took the small bottle handed over by Liu Ming, she put it into the storage bracelet without looking at it.
However, after a pause, she suddenly took a step forward and lightly pecked Liu Ming's cheek with her lips. Then, she shyly took a few steps back and made a hand sign. She stepped on a blue cloud and soared into the sky. Finally, she turned into a blue light and flew toward the Misty Peak.
Liu Ming touched the place where he was kissed on his cheek, and his heart was also tumbling. After a while, he put away the thoughts in his heart.
He had always boasted that his self-control was extremely strong, but for Calan, there was always an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
After getting along with her for a few days, this feeling had a feeling of surfacing, but at the last moment, he still couldn't take the last step.
Liu Ming returned to the cave house's secret room. After meditating for a whole day and night, his state of mind recovered to the calm state. He opened his eyes and waved his hand, and there were a lot of things on the ground.
Apart from the semi-finished Pearl of Mountain and River, these were all his gains from the ruins:
11 embryos of the Pearl of Mountain and River, a Demonic Crystal Bead, a Purple Origin Fruit, a large pile of demon eggs, dozens of Spirit Gathering Stones, and some colorful herbs.
Apart from the special Golden Pheasant egg that Scorpion Fei 'er was a little afraid of, the rest of the dead demon eggs were not very useful to Liu Ming now. He planned to find an opportunity to sell them all for Spirit Stones.
As for the spirit herbs and Purple Origin Fruit that were helpful for breaking through to the Jin Dan, he planned to deal with them later.
As for the Spirit Gathering Stones, he planned to set up a small Spirit Gathering Formation in the cave house when he had the time in the future.
After some thought, he sorted these things and put them back into the Sumeru Ring. When he saw the Demonic Crystal Bead, he thought about it and kept it close to his body.
After doing all this, only the 11 embryos of the Pearl of Mountain and River and the special Golden Pheasant egg were left on the ground.
He waved his hand, and the 11 yellow beads floated in the air, emitting rings of yellow light.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and his mind spun rapidly.
He no longer had any First Essence Heavy Water on hand, but if he paid attention to the various markets and auctions in the future, he should be able to find some. If he could refine all 11 embryos of the Pearl of Mountain and River into semi-finished magic treasures, his strength would immediately skyrocket to an unimaginable level.
Of course, activating all 12 Pearls of Mountain and River at the same time, even if they were only semi-finished magic treasures, was not an easy task. He would probably need to improve his cultivation.
After Liu Ming finished his calculations, he put away the 11 earthen yellow crystal beads and picked up the Golden Pheasant egg. He studied it again, but still did not find anything.
"Could it really be a mutated beast egg?"
A mutated demon beast was a demon beast that, in the process of cultivation, had a sudden change in its power for some unknown reason, and its innate ability would change.
This kind of mutation, there were good and bad. It might make an ordinary beastkin a heaven-defying existence, or it might make a superb spirit beast a waste.
Mutated beastkin were not rare in the history of the Middle Sky Continent. Back in the Changyang Market, the mind imitation insect egg that Liu Ming accidentally obtained was regarded as a mutated green yarn cicada egg by 2 Haoran Academy cultivators.
Scorpion and Fei 'er could also be said to be mutated beastkin. Both of them were now contaminated with a trace of the ancient troll's breath, and they also absorbed some energy of the Sky Beastkin's blood essence, which resulted in several mutations.
Liu Ming looked at the golden beast egg in his hand with a hint of hesitation. After a while, he seemed to make up his mind. He suddenly stood up, left the cave house, and flew toward a certain direction in the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range.
An hour later, he stood in the depths of the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range. On the slope in front of the two peaks that were straight into the sky and surrounded by clouds and mist, he looked out with his hands behind his back.
Several huge iron chains were connected between the two peaks, and a wooden plaque of nearly a thousand meters in size was hanging below the iron chains.
At a glance, one could tell that this horizontal board was split vertically from an ancient tree. Its surface was densely covered with growth rings. At a glance, it was at least ten thousand years old. Such a huge tree was not an ordinary item. Perhaps this horizontal board was not as simple as a horizontal board.
Written on the horizontal board were the three bold words' Spiritual Beast Garden '.
This was an important place of Taiqing Gate, the place where the Sect specialized in domesticating spirit beasts.
