Volume IV: The Disciples of Taiqing 474 Black Sun Mountains
As the puppet armor fell, a white halo suddenly lit up in the center of the chamber, spreading out in all directions.
In the white light, countless silver runes emerged, and flew up and down around the center, and after a while, a white light circle was formed.
The light flashed, and a palm-sized token appeared in the center of the circle.
"This is the teleportation array......" Liu Ming put away the heavy water beads, and gathered the dragon and tiger hell skills on his body, and after looking around the teleportation circle for a while, he thought about it in his heart.
Since the circle has appeared, it means that he has passed the test here.
And this token is quite similar to the identity token, and I think it should be used when taking on the task of the inner list.
Liu Ming immediately leaned over to pick up the token and slowly walked into the center of the circle.
The teleportation circle suddenly lit up with a dazzling burst of bright light, and then the space fluctuated together.
Liu Ming only felt that the surrounding scenery was blurred for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in the corner of a wide hall.
"This should be the inner sanctum. Liu Ming held the token and looked around a few times.
The layout here is very similar to the previous hall, with four dragon pillars supporting the four corners, and in the center of the hall stands a slightly smaller jade bib, glowing with pale silver light, on which are also listed a list of tasks.
It's just that the word "Xuanbang" that appears above the jade bi is golden.
Unlike the bustling crowd in the outer hall, there were only twenty people here, which looked very empty, and everyone was wearing the same gray hooded shirt as Liu Ming. In addition to the tall, short, fat and thin body, the slightest breath is imperceptible.
Not a single person in the crowd spoke. Compared to the bustle of the outer hall, there is a quiet, dreary atmosphere.
Liu Mingfang appeared. A few of the people around Yubi glanced at this side, and turned their heads away, obviously not caring.
Seeing this, Liu Ming didn't care, and walked behind the crowd by himself, swept his eyes slightly, and immediately set his eyes on the inner jade in front of him.
……
At the same time, in a certain secret room in the Xuan Palace, a chubby yellow-robed disciple was half-lying on a chair. Holding a array plate with a leisurely expression, most of the jade runes on it had been shattered and opened, and only a yellow bronze mirror in the center was still intact.
A video is being displayed in the bronze mirror, which is the scene of the battle between Liu Ming and the puppet armor just now, the battle process is not long, and the two have fought for less than half a cup of tea, and the winner is divided.
The yellow-robed disciple's gaze swept casually, and when he saw the phantom of the dragon and tiger qi displayed by Liu Mingshi, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. The half-recumbent body sat slightly straighter.
"This is which stupid person in the inner gate would actually practice such a stupid kung fu as the Dragon and Tiger Hell Gong, but it seems that he has not even cultivated to the second layer. I guess it's a newly joined inner disciple. The yellow-robed disciple scratched his head and muttered.
The fat man shook his head, his sleeves flickering. The image on the bronze mirror disappeared in a flash.
He lazily lay back in his chair again, and stroked his big hand twice in his arms. Out of nowhere, I found a roasted golden chicken leg and ate it in a big bite. It's as if I've completely forgotten what I just did.
……
In the inner sanctum of the Xuan Palace.
Liu Ming had already browsed all the tasks on the jade bi at this moment, and his face suddenly became a little solemn.
The tasks here are really much more dangerous than those on the outer list, and most of the tasks make Liu Ming feel chills in his heart when he sees them. But in the same way, the contribution points as a reward are also extremely rich, far from being comparable to the outer temple.
For example, there is one of them: collect the tentacles of the fire ants, and each reward is 500 contribution points.
Liu Ming had seen in the classics of the Changfeng Society that the fire ant was a fierce insect beast that infested the volcanic area, with a body size of about two or three meters long, and it was very difficult.
If that's the case, it's just that, what makes this insect beast even more troublesome is that they always come out in groups, and the number is often hundreds or thousands.
The blood locust beasts that he and Xin Yuan, Fang Yao and others hunted before only had the strength of the spirit apprentice stage, and only the king beast was in the condensation stage, and it was also a formation that took a lot of effort, and it took a lot of effort to wipe it out under the condition of losing a companion, and Liu Ming even used one of the hole cards to fall gold sand for this purpose.
Thinking of the hundreds of fire ants in the condensation stage spraying demon fire, and the melting mountain fossils rushing open, Liu Ming couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.
Another: Hunt the Dream Butterfly and obtain the medicine stones in its body, each of which rewards 1,000 contribution points.
Caimeng Butterfly is a kind of demon beast that resembles a butterfly, its strength is not strong, it is generally only around the early stage of condensation, such as a one-on-one ordinary condensation stage disciple can easily kill it, and this beast is not a group.
An adult male Caimeng butterfly will condense a medicinal stone in its body, which is an extremely effective medicinal material and one of the main materials for refining several superb elixirs.
Although the strength of this colorful dream butterfly is weak, this demon beast lives in the group of night miasma flowers all year round.
And the night miasma flower is a kind of alien flower on the Zhongtian Continent, which usually grows in a shady and humid environment, and forms a sea of flowers that stretches for hundreds of miles, and at the same time constantly emits a highly toxic miasma, if an ordinary cultivator accidentally inhales it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, for cultivators in the condensation stage, going to this kind of place to hunt the Colorful Dream Butterfly is not enough to lose a few lives.
After Liu Ming finished reading it, he was a little speechless.
On this list, he even saw that there was a task to hunt the Blood Locust King Beast Demon Core, and its reward was not low, and it looked like there were thousands of contribution points.
But without the help of his allies and formations, he wouldn't have the confidence to face the kind of sea beast that could manipulate blood to attack again. Not to mention where to find this swarm of blood locusts on this vast sea.
Liu Ming searched for a long time, and it was not until there were only a few people left present that he finally raised the token and shook it somewhere on the list, but when he saw that a fine light was suddenly cast on the inner list, and it fell on this token in a flash.
He was given the task of collecting Snowclaw Spider eggs, each of which could be exchanged for a hundred contribution points.
If he's lucky. Maybe two or three times will be able to make up enough contribution points needed to go to the Five Elements Spirit Cave to condense the sword embryo.
Snowclaw spiders, such monster beasts, often act in groups of three or five. The strength is also around the condensate realm, which is quite dangerous. However, compared to the fire line ants, the sea of nocturnal miasma flowers is much safer.
Of course, the main reason why Liu Ming chose this task is that the publisher of the mission directly provided the approximate range of the snowclaw spider's infestation, which is in another mountain range not far from this Wanling Mountain Range......
After taking over the task, he didn't plan to stay here for long, and when he swept his eyes, he found that there were more than a dozen small teleportation circles scattered in the corners of the main hall.
Liu Ming immediately learned from the others. Stepping into a magic circle, he appeared on a mountain peak near the Xuan Hall in a flash.
He immediately took off the gray robe on his body, and drove the clouds to fly away to Piaohong Courtyard.
After Liu Ming made a little preparation, and at the same time thought carefully about the task before and after, he set off early the next morning and left Wanling Mountain.
Not long after he left, a blue light fell in front of the door of his cave, and after the light faded, a person was revealed. It was a young woman dressed in an inner door costume.
This woman is only about 20 years old, with a ring-shaped bun, with a strong nose and cherry lips, and her skin is as white as snow. A pair of eyes full of aura, like a person in a painting.
She took a closer look in front of the cave door and nodded. He stepped forward and knocked on the two brass rings on the door.
However, the stone door was closed, and there was no sign of opening.
"It's really bad luck. This Senior Brother Liu is not in the cave mansion, it seems that he can only come back next time. The woman muttered to herself. I called out again for a while, and found that the cave was still closed, so I could only leave in disappointment.
At this time, Liu Ming had already left the Wanling Mountain Range, and naturally he didn't know anything about what happened outside the gate of the cave.
Half a month later, he played in a mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles east of Lingshan.
The mountains here look unusually tall and precipitous, and the mountains are like huge wolf teeth stuck in the earth, and the roar of demon beasts faintly comes from them from time to time, which adds a bit of weirdness to this place.
The rocks on the peaks are a kind of black-gray rough rock, in which huge ancient trees are born, and the vines are entwined, and the ground is rarely visible.
Compared with Zhong Lingyuxiu's Wanling Mountain Range, this place is more of a rough vitality, but there is no trace of fairy spirit.
This is the destination of Liu Ming's trip, the Heiyang Mountains.
At the foot of this mountain, there is a fang market, and the name is Heiyangfang City.
Liu Ming did some understanding before he came, and knew that although this city was not big, it was not famous in this area.
The reason for this is because this Heiyang Mountain Range is the closest place to Wanling Mountain to provide demon beast materials, and it is also the place where many Taiqing Sect disciples come most often.
I don't know how many scattered cultivators and cultivators on the Zhongtian Continent want to have a relationship with Taiqingmen, and in the long run, there are also many foreign monks who come here, occasionally bringing some special items, which is also eye-opening and attracts more monks to come.
After Liu Ming landed nearby, he did not immediately enter the Fang Market, but found a secluded place nearby, changed into the clothes of the Taiqing Sect disciple on his body, and put on an ordinary cyan robe, looking like an ordinary cultivator, before walking in slowly.
The whole city of Heiyangfang is surrounded by a simple city wall, covering an area about the size of a li, and there is a main street running east-west in its interior, and on both sides is a field of houses of different heights, with buildings, attics, and many low huts, which look very cluttered.
Liu Ming walked in all the way and found that there were many people in strange costumes in the crowd, and some even had demon beasts and spirit pets beside them, which caused pedestrians to avoid one after another, and most of them looked strange at this.
Most of the houses on both sides are shops, the most of which are shops selling many materials for demon beasts, and some shops that buy and sell all kinds of pills, talismans, and spiritual weapons.
Liu Ming took a turn inside, and really found a lot of rare things, such as some rare ores and medicinal materials from the outside world, and even demon beasts and demon cores that had never heard of names.
After walking casually for a while, he turned around and walked into a shop that sold maps of the Heiyang Mountains.
Half an hour later, Liu Ming walked out of it with an indifferent face, and there was an extra mountain map in his arms, and he quickly left Fang City and entered the mountain range alone. (To be continued......)
