"Actually, Gao Chong is
a force to be reckon with, he is
just not as good as Zhang Xiuniang
. Besides,
it's
a shame
that the selection of Six Disciples
from
different Sects is not much about capability
but natural endowments this time. He who
would make the cut
should have a great
probability
to be cultivated to the Advanced-crystal Stage. Even if we
have
recommend
ed
junior disciple Liu, he would have been rejected directly by the Yun Chuan League
for his
natural endowments." Huang shook his head and
expressed his opinions
after pondering.
"My master,
does
Liu
really
ha
ve
no
chance
to
reach
Advanced-crystal Stage?" Lin Caiyu had a look at the nearby hill and asked.
"Sister Lin, what do you think?" The master asked in reply.
"Well, well, forget about it. Now that I know the ins and outs of the unusual phenomenon, I'm relieved.
W
hat
ever
stage
Liu
may
be in the end, with his amazing
capability
, I truly believe that
a
common Liquid Advanced Stage
cultivator
is unable to be evenly matched with him as long as he can
make it to
the Liquid Middle Stage. This is certainly
some
good news for our Sect. Excuse me, we'll leave now for I have some
matter
s to discuss
with
Lei." Lin Caiyu chuckled and
left
with
Lei.
The master's eyebrows wrinkled slightly when looking them went far away.
"So it seems
S
ister Lin and senior disciple Lei are quite intimate. Maybe it won't be long before we hear good news about them." Huang chuckled.
"Oh, they have been on good terms as before." A subtle expression was perceived from the master.
"I'm not sure
about
the
details
, but the
y
seemed to
have
reconciled
with each other
after fighting side by side in the battle with Sea Race." Huang looked
quite
pleased
saying that
.
"That
explains a lot
! Junior disciple Lei and sister Lin were a perfect match who broke up for some misunderstanding. It's a matter of joy if they
'
re able to make it up now." The master twiddled his beard and replied.
The black-robed old man nodded and said "right"
for several times
.
They got away after a few more words.
At the same time, Liu Ming opened his eyes with ecstatic expression when he a.s.similated a
whiff of
black gas from the sky in the cave.
He stood up and gently held his hands, from which
came
two blasting sound unexpectedly. And then he
waved
his arms, followed by a firecrackers-crackling sound from all
his
bones.
After taking the spirit
ual
liquid brewed with the Blood Tiger's head, he
made it
to the first stage of the Dragon Tiger h.e.l.l Method out of the blue.
Liu Ming's accomplishments at the moment were not quite behindhand from the Liquid Middle Stage as the master of Banki Sect supposed, but
he
had naturally advanced to the
middle
Stage when
he cultivated
the first stage of the Dragon Tiger h.e.l.l Method, which meant he slid over the bottleneck mentioned by other spiritual alchemists.
He was
startled
and surprised at the same time
.
The Dragon Tiger h.e.l.l Method deserved to be
the most legitimate method of
the
Extrication Sect
of
Zhong Tian Continent's
method
s
, which
enabled him
to overleap the bottleneck of practice and made progress so easily.
Otherwise,
with
his natural endowments of Three Spiritual
Pulse
,
it was
possible
for him
to be trapped in Liquid
Primary
Stage for life if
it was
some other methods.
It seemed that the Extrication Sect was definitely a great sect in the
Zhong Tian Continent
, otherwise, how could
a random
method
be so
profound.
He had no idea of whether he could get a way to break through the bottleneck of the advanced stage after the second stage of the Method.
Liu Ming marveled at his smooth progress, which he
wasn't
aware of. Of course, this Dragon Tiger h.e.l.l Method was excellent even on
Zhong Tian Continent, however
,
most important of all
was
that
his body
was
transformed by the usurper with the help of the essence of Red Serpent in the Advanced-crystal Stage and a rare secret technique of the Human Race.
After all, the usurper was about to forcibly occupy Liu Ming's body, who would definitely ensure its physical fitness.
Although he
made the
transform
ation
in a hurry, Liu Ming
was
not inferior to the general pract.i.tioner of Six Spirit Pulse while
he
manifested
it
like a Three
Pulse cultivator
,
if
other external factors
were not taken into account
.
Moreover, it couldn't be perceived then but could really bring its effects into play after a long period of time.
Although the Human Race had several secret techniques that resorted to external force to reform natural endowments, all of them were
demanding
in terms of after effect, let alone their strict restriction. Besides, the auxiliary external materials used were
G.o.d-given cure-all, which
couldn't
be compared with the secret techniques used by the usurper.
Liu Ming was
not aware of
this while he could
definite
ly sense the tremendous difference
of himself
comparing with the primary stage.
After scanning around, he grabbed at a nearby black rock with one hand.
"Bang".
The black rock meters away cracked immediately into a pile of broken stone
s
.
Liu Ming
raised his eyebrow with his palm got ready, and he rushed to the rock wall more than ten feet away,
he gave it a
pat and
left
.
"Poof".
A deep handprint appeared on the rock with
great
clarity
like it was carved by a kinfe
.
T
he handprint on the wall vibrated all of a sudden
the moment when
Liu Ming withdrew his hand.
After the whole rock wall rumbled, it turned into white powder falling off.
Liu Ming was full of satisfaction
then
.
He was physically strong at the time, which was beyond the reach of an Advanced Alchemist.
Most of
which
we
re attributed to the Dragon Tiger h.e.l.l Method, while the other
s
w
ere
the effect of
body augmentation
attached to the
h.e.l.l B
one
.
The more powerful he
wa
s
at the moment
, the more he c
ould
feel the a
stonish
ing benefits of
the
h.e.l.l Bone
.
He was
even more regretful
for his
deficiency
of the
subsequent
methods.
Otherwise with
effect brought from
the h.e.l.l Bone, even if
he
only practice
d
a common method
,
he could
easily be
one of the legendary cultivators who owned both Method Cultivating and Body Cultivating as long as he finished the method
. Furthermore,
as
his
level
went
higher,
the
more amazing
his
body
cultivation
could be
.
In spite of the deep regret he was holding,
Liu
Ming soon
left it behind and
s
at
on the ground
to
form a sign
,
with his mind
immersed in the Sea of
Divine
right away
.
It was seen that
in his Sea of Divine,
the
black and white
stone
tablet
was
still quietly suspend
ing
,
however,
something had changed
on the surface of the golden hourgla.s.s
'
pattern.
The
lower part of the
hourgla.s.s, which was empty
at first
, ha
d
now
ama.s.s
ed a layer of silvery gravel.
Liu
Ming sigh
ed as he saw the scene
.
H
e had already discovered
that t
he golden hourgla.s.s
would
drop silvery gravel with the pa.s.sage of time slowly.
If
he was right that
it
would be the right timing
to
enter the mysterious s.p.a.ce
when
all
the gravel above f
ell
off.
After all, he ha
d
found that the falling speed of the silver
y
gravel
wa
s slow and fixed.
Besides, a
ccording to
its
amount and speed, it
would
take six or seven years
to finish
a cycle
.
It wa
s exactly the same as his estimat
ion
of the time
that
his power
w
ould
be
taken away
next time.
Fortunately, he ha
d
just
broke through
Liquid M
iddle
S
tage,
thus
he d
id
n't have to worry too much about the lack of
power
in a short period of time.
Liu Ming
's mind was in a whirl
while
a
black light flashed in
his
S
ea
of Divine, then a
thick black book emerged out of air and
kept
turn
ing
page
s
.
It
wa
s the Dragon Tiger h.e.l.l Method!
What he
wa
s looking at
wa
s the second-level method. Although he ha
d
seen it at the beginning, he ha
d
n
'
t really understood the specific method of
practice
. However, it seem
ed
that the second-level
wa
s much more difficult than the first. It may t
ake
a lot of time
before
he could fully understand it
.
Tik tok. A
nd half an hour later, the black book
disappeared in a flash.
Liu Ming withdrew his mind from the
S
ea of
Divine
,
he
frowned and consider
ed
.
"
The second stage of Dragon Tiger h.e.l.l Method
can
only be
practice
d by
resorting to
external force
to
forg
e
body for a long time.
It seems that
I
can
only
improve
my
accomplishments
step by step
instead of
taking pills or other spiritual
method
s."
Liu
Ming murmured.
He didn't really look disappointed.
If it weren't for the mysterious bubble
, which
ha
d
the uncanny ability to purify
power
,
Liu
Ming
would
dare not
to
take much even if there
we
re more
useful pill
s in front.
It wa
s already a great chance
for him to be
a
Liquid Middle Stage Alchemist
within
ten years
in virtue of
pills
.
If
there
w
as
a disciple of the Three Spirit
ual Pulse
with the same
nature
s as him,
no one knew
whether
the one
c
ould
get the same achievement as him
now.
So Liu
Ming
wa
sn
'
t swayed by considerations of gain and loss
any more
.
Besides, his training
wa
s longer this time, which
wa
s of great benefit to digest the sudden improvement and to temper his accomplishments.
Although he
wa
s not comparable to ordinary pract.i.tioners in terms of pure power, his foundation
wa
s still weak
than
pract.i.tioners who ha
d
been practicing for decades or even hundreds
years
of
the same level.
Liu
Ming
got a plan about what he should do
in the future,
then he
st
oo
d up and ran to
outside
.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Ming
got back
to Jiu
Y
ing Mountain
. He visited
Gui
R
u
quan
first, and
then
quietly
went back
to his cave. After packing
some necessary belongings
, he left
Banki
Sect
quietly one more time
.
A few days later, message
of
Liu Ming ha
ving
advanced to the
Liquid Middle Stage got spread
across
the disciples of Jiu
Y
ing Mountain.
It had caused a stir inside and outside the entire Banki Sect.
However,
words concerning
Liu Ming's unstable foundation
for
excessive use of some
pill
s
and urgent
leave of
find
ing
a solution to
practice
also
pa.s.sed
from
the
Mountain.
Many pract.i.tioner
s
were
enlightened
suddenly!
Even so, however, Liu Ming's tremendous advance
with
in such a short period of time had aroused the interest of many other spiritual alchemists in the Sect.
But for
Liu Ming had left the Sect ahead of schedule, there would have been quite a few people coming to spy on some relevant information.
