Chapter 256: Hard work pays off

"This fire cloud technique is really obscure, so let's go and ask the imperial grandfather for advice when you have time."

The little emperor Liu Tianming came back to his senses in a trance, looked at the jade slip in his hand, and sighed.

He shook his head, put away the jade slip, got up and quickened his pace, and soon came to a white jade hall at the top of the peak, with the gilded plaque written with the two big characters "Sea of Books".

There were no guards at the entrance of the main hall, and there was a bronze statue of a giant beast on the left and right, all seven or eight feet high, one was a cyan giant lion, and the other was a strange beast with a body like a horse but an extremely long neck.

Liu Tianming was about to step into it, when a voice came from the side: "Shuhai is the important place of Changchun Guan, which disciple of the Zamao Sect are you, don't you know that you need to show the permission talisman first to enter it?" ”

Liu Tianming was stunned, and then found that it was the long-necked beast statue on the right hand side that spoke, the statue suddenly came to life, its neck stretched out in front of Liu Tianming, and the big eyes of the copper bell stared at him, and his spirit was compelling.

"Your Excellency is Bai Ze's predecessor in the sea of books, right? The junior Liu Tianming only joined the Changchun Temple not long ago, and he has not yet apprenticed, so he doesn't understand the rules here, and he asks the seniors to forgive me, this is a license token. ”

Liu Tianming shook it to the end, and took out a white jade plate with a respectful expression.

"Seeing that you kid is still respectful, the responsibility for trespassing this time will be exempted, let's go in." The long-necked beast nodded, its neck slowly retracting.

Liu Tianming thanked him, and then walked into the hall.

The Book Sea Hall is already very magnificent from the outside, and when you enter the hall, there are rows of tall and unusual bookshelves as far as you can see, which are seven or eight zhang high, and some of the bookshelves are still suspended in the air, and you need to look up to see it.

There are two side doors on the left and right of the main hall, which seem to be two side halls, and are also full of tall bookshelves, stacked with countless books and jade slips, giving people a feeling that the classics are like mountains and vast like a sea of smoke, and they are worthy of the name of "sea of books".

Yuan Ming looked at the scene in front of him, and he only had admiration in his heart.

There are also a lot of classic books and books in the Guizang Pavilion of Biluo Cave, and compared with here, it is really like a cloud of mud, and it is not the same.

Liu Tianming was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and was stunned for a moment before he recovered, shuttling between the bookshelves to find it.

Yuan Ming took the opportunity to observe that the placement of the books in the sea of books was very regular, according to the names of exercises, spells, geography, history, sectarian allusions, spiritual materials, pills, magic circles, etc., divided into multiple areas, although there were many books here, they would not be dazzling and difficult to search.

Yuan Ming looked at the spell area, where the bookshelves were shrouded in a layer of white light curtains, and there were jade slips placed in it, and the nameplate next to it recorded the names of the spells, the Qi Refining Period, the Foundation Building Period, and even the spells of the Dan Period.

Yuan Ming was very greedy, but Liu Tianming went straight to the area of the spiritual material classics.

He hesitated for a moment and did not forcibly hint at Liu Tianming's past.

Liu Tianming came to the sea of books to consult the classics, there should be something important, he has already delayed the other party for a lot of time, and the future will be long, and there will be an opportunity to manipulate Liu Tianming to come here to borrow those spell jade slips.

Liu Tianming stopped in front of a bookshelf, and the bookshelf here was also shrouded in white prohibition, and he was about to find a cloud of white mist pouring out of the light curtain of the bookshelf in front of him, condensing into a figure of white mist a foot high, and he actually spoke: "What kind of classics do you need?" ”

"You are?" Liu Tianming was taken aback.

"I am the spirit of the array of the sea of books, there are many books in the sea of books, it is too time-consuming to rely on individuals to find them, and you tell me the title or category of the book you want to read, and I will guide you to the location." The white mist figure said.

"It turned out to be the predecessor of the Book Sea Array Spirit, and I want to check the content related to the silver calendula." Liu Tianming said.

"Silver calendula belongs to the Asteraceae herbaceous spiritual plant, and the relevant classics are on the second floor of the third bookshelf in the spiritual material area." The White Mist Spirit raised his hand and pointed to a bookshelf not far away and said.

"Thank you for your advice." Liu Tianming thanked him, walked over quickly, and quickly found the relevant classics.

He took out a cyan token, but it was the identity nameplate of the disciple of Changchun Guan, and a number of five hundred appeared on it.

Liu Tianming urged the token and aimed at the dotted spot of a classic book on the light curtain.

The number on the cyan token suddenly decreased a little, but the tome inside the light curtain automatically flew out and landed in his hand.

Liu Tianming flipped through the classics and browsed quickly.

Changchun Guan is the premier sect of cultivating immortals in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the information collected has its own uniqueness, Yuan Ming followed Liu Tianming to read two pages, and felt that it was quite rewarding, and was about to take the opportunity to study.

At this moment, the possession ends, and its consciousness returns to its essence.

Yuan Ming immediately checked the hourglass next to him, and his eyes were happy.

The fire pine wood is worthy of being a high-grade spiritual material, and after replacing the previous spirit pine, the possession time has increased a lot, and it is about to reach a quarter of an hour.

In addition, judging from the information Liu Tianming obtained, he only knew a little about the Fire Cloud Technique, and the old emperor seemed to have a lot of experience in this technique.

Looks like I'm going to have to change direction.

Yuan Ming closed his eyes and came back to his senses, took out a blank jade slip, and copied the secret technique of Huoyun that he had stolen, so as not to forget it.

He didn't have to comprehend this secret technique on his own, and after putting away the jade slip and hourglass, he continued to start the cultivation of the Nine Yuan Jue.

Seven days later.

Yuan Ming burned incense and closed his eyes and crossed his knees.

His goal this time was to possess the old emperor and explore the experience of the Fire Cloud Technique from him.

At this time, the old emperor was sitting in a dark room, pranayama with his eyes closed, his breath circulating at a very slow speed, and he didn't know what exercises he was practicing.

After Yuan Ming confirmed the surrounding environment and situation, he immediately tried to influence his cultivation of the Fire Cloud Secret Technique through hints.

Xu is the old emperor's cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building, more than a step higher than Yuan Ming, his will is extremely firm, Yuan Ming spent a lot of effort, until the end of the possession time, still failed to succeed, and did not even make the other party's mood a little turbulent.

Undeterred, after seven days, he continued to try to hint through possession, but still failed.

As a result, until the third time, I don't know if it hinted at the effect, the old emperor performed a fire cloud secret technique, and Yuan Ming hurriedly took the opportunity to understand.

However, this technique was incomparably complicated, and he naturally failed to learn it based on a single perception.

However, with the beginning of this time, the old emperor did not seem to have any previous resistance to the use of the fire cloud technique, but because of the movement of this technique, the old emperor should control the power to the lowest every time he casts it.

This did not affect Yuan Ming's perception of his casting process, so he realized it several times in a row, and the hard work paid off, and Yuan Ming finally got his wish and mastered this high-level spell.

Of course, this is only a preliminary mastery, and if you want to really exert its power, you need to practice it yourself.

……

One day more than a month later.

In the depths of the rain ruin swamp, a thick red light suddenly rose from the side of a black pool, rushing into the air to form a dense fire cloud of seven or eight zhang in size, and flames rolled in it.

Although it was raining in mid-air, it did not have the slightest effect on the fire clouds.

Yuan Ming stepped on the white jade shuttle, suspended in mid-air, and pointed at the black pool.

"Go!"

Seven or eight huge fireballs shot out from the fire cloud and sank into the pool.

These bursting fireballs were condensed by the secret technique of fire clouds, and ordinary mortal water could not be extinguished at all.

After a few breaths, a violent explosion roared from the pool, setting off a huge wave several feet high, and the originally clear pool water became turbid and abnormal.

Huazhi was also nearby, and when he saw this scene, his face was happy.

"Roar!" A low roar emanated from the waterhole, with a terrifying power that pierced the soul.

"Be careful, master, it's coming out!" The sound of flower branches sounded in Yuan Ming's mind.

Before the sound fell, the turbid pool water suddenly tumbled, and a thick black shadow shot out from it, rushing towards Yuan Ming in mid-air.

Yuan Ming had already prepared, and controlled the jade shuttle to shoot backwards quickly, and instantly retreated more than ten zhang.

The black shadow pounced into the air, revealing its body, but it was a giant beast with a snake-like head, more than five zhang long, and its entire body was covered with thick black scale armor, which looked indestructible.

A thick black cloud hovered beneath it, holding up the beast's body.

"It turned out to be an ink lizard." Yuan Ming sighed lightly.

According to the classics, the Ink Lizard is the offspring of the combination of the Ink Jiao and the Swamp Monitor Lizard, which not only has the ability to use strong scale armor and water-based spells like the Ink Jiao, but also has the tough flesh and strange power of the Swamp Monitor Lizard.

He showed up in the swamp today, not only to test the power of his newly learned Fire Cloud Secret Technique, but also to help him fight off the ink lizard at Flower Branch's request.

Yuan Ming pinched a little, and the mid-air fire cloud shot out seven or eight fireballs again, hitting the ink lizard beast.

The ink lizard beast flew into the air in a hurry, sensing the power of the bursting fireball, and hurriedly spewed out a black water column to block it, and then shot downward.

The black water column was obviously not a mortal liquid, and it made a few muffled "snorts" sounds, and most of the fireballs were actually doused by it, but there were still two fireballs that slipped through the net and hit the ink lizard beast.

"Boom" and "Boom" made two loud noises, and the ink lizard beast was blown out, but it was not injured, and it turned over and stabilized its body.

Yuan Ming couldn't help but secretly praise the strong scale armor of the ink lizard beast, and the two hands pinched the trick.

Fireballs plummeted down from mid-air, hitting the ink lizard one after another, sending out a series of explosions, and the space above the waterhole turned into a raging sea of fire, surging and tumbling.

Although the scale armor of the ink lizard beast was strong, it could not withstand such a continuous bombardment, and soon broke through its defenses, and its body was drowned in the raging flames, and it let out a terrible scream.

Yuan Ming nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the power of the Fire Cloud Secret Technique.

Huazhi also let out a strange cry of cheer, his hands opened, and more than a dozen demon vines shot out, piercing into the billowing flames like lightning.

The tall body of the ink lizard fell from mid-air, smashing into the mud near the waterhole.

The scales and armor on its body were shattered, its flesh and blood were blurred, and it was seriously injured by the fire cloud secret technique, and the demon vines of the flower branches also pierced into its body, and it was rapidly absorbing blood and demonic power.

The body of the ink lizard beast shrank rapidly, and after a few breaths, it turned into a shriveled corpse.

The breath emitted by the flower branches fluctuated slightly, and purple and black rattans grew in the body, more and more, more and more densely, and soon formed a purple-black cocoon, wrapping its body in it, and purple and black flowers also grew on the cocoon, exuding a strange fragrance.

Yuan Ming saw this scene and was overjoyed.

Hua Zhi's strength was originally close to the second-level intermediate level, and he killed and absorbed an unknown number of demon beasts in the rain ruin swamp, and finally broke through.
