At this point, the second layer of the Dragon and Tiger Hell Skill had finally been cultivated, and under the grip of both hands, he suddenly felt that his physical strength and strength had increased by as much as one-third compared to before.

Seeing this, Liu Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes flickered with a deep expression.

Although the second layer of his Dragon and Tiger Hell Skill has been completed, his own cultivation is still a little bit worse than breaking through the late stage of condensation.

In the next few days, Liu Ming was not in a hurry to leave the cave, but continued to stabilize the second layer of the newly cultivated Dragon and Tiger Hell Skill in the secret room, and took the opportunity to seek a way to break through the bottleneck.

But just as he was concentrating on practicing, the sect token in his sleeve suddenly flashed.

When he took it out with a shake of his sleeve robe, and injected some mana into the token, a blue light flashed, and then a faint message came from it:

"The outer disciples who received this message quickly went to the main hall of Piaohong Courtyard to gather. “

Although I don't know what is the so-called matter of gathering everyone in such a hurry this time, since it is not one of them, there must be something important to announce.

Liu Ming immediately raised his robe without saying a word, put away the various pill bottles scattered all over the place, and then walked out of the cave and broke through the sky in the direction of the Piaohong Courtyard.

Half an hour later, Liu Ming came to the main hall of Piaohong Temple, and in the main hall at this time, thirty outer disciples were bustling together.

Most of these outer disciples looked very young, the younger ones were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the older ones were only twenty-seven or eighteen, judging from the aura they emitted, their cultivation was from the early stage to the late stage of the Condensation Realm.

There are whispers. There are also those who look around, and more who sit cross-legged. Close your eyes and refresh yourself.

And Liang Zhange, the head of the deputy courtyard, who Liu Ming had seen when he first reported before, was standing next to the main seat with his hands in his hands, without the slightest expression on his face. I don't know what I'm thinking......

Seeing this, Liu Ming walked into the crowd by himself, found an open space, sat cross-legged on the ground, and waited quietly.

In the following time, more than ten outer disciples came from all directions one after another, and silently joined the crowd.

In a short time, there were as many as forty or fifty disciples in the main hall, because Liang Zhange, the deputy courtyard master, did not speak. The crowd had to keep waiting.

Among them, there are Yan Xueyun and the others. ，

As soon as the two of them saw Liu Ming, they naturally nodded from a distance.

After another half a cup of tea, a gray light suddenly flew from a distance, and landed outside the door of the main hall.

"Master Jiang. Liang Zhange, the deputy courtyard master who was originally silent, immediately bowed his hand to the old man when he saw the old man Fang Yi stepping into the hall.

"Master?"

As soon as this statement came out. The outer disciples who were originally whispering immediately stopped talking, and everyone sitting cross-legged also stood up one after another, and their eyes fell on the courtyard master who suddenly appeared.

Liu Ming also opened his eyes and stood up. Following everyone's gaze, he looked at the master of the courtyard who he had never met.

But the person who came looked to be in his sixties, with a goatee three or four inches long on his chin. But his complexion was ruddy and unusually fine.

The old man was under the gaze of everyone. He walked slowly to the main seat of the main hall as usual, turned around and sat down.

"Everyone. The old husband Jiang Chong is the owner of this Piaohong Courtyard, and in recent years, he has been busy with some affairs because he has gone out, and he rarely really manages this Piaohong Courtyard. They are all new disciples who have newly entered the Piaohong Academy within three years, so naturally there are not many people who have seen the old man. The old man twisted his beard and said lightly.

Liu Ming and the others naturally hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but after the old man waved his hand, he directly came up with the reason for summoning everyone this time:

"I have summoned you here this time to actually start Xiaobi. According to the rules, new initiation outer disciples must participate in an introductory trial jointly held by the eight outer courtyards of our own sect, and after passing the guò, they are eligible to participate in the triennial small competition and the decennial large competition, and be officially recognized by other outer disciples. ”、

When Liu Ming heard this, he was stunned in his heart, and his eyes swept over the other outer disciples around him, and he found that except for a few people who also showed surprise, most of the others had a calm face, obviously knowing about this for a long time.

Yan Ming Xueyun and the others also looked calm and composed, obviously not the first time they had heard of this introductory trial.

However, the other young man who was unusually tall, about two feet tall, with pale purple pupils in his eyes, and did not look like an ordinary human race, attracted Liu Ming's attention even more, and couldn't help but look at him twice.

And this purple-eyed young man seemed to have extremely sensitive sense, and he turned his head to look at Liu Ming's place in an instant, but after looking at each other slightly, he immediately moved away as if nothing happened.

This made Liu Ming's heart sink slightly.

"I won't go into details, someone will explain it to you then. In addition, the place of trial for this entry is set in the Xiaoyan Realm. If you think that your cultivation is insufficient, or you don't want to participate in the next year's competition at all, you can withdraw and wait until the next trial in three years. The old man paused before speaking again.

After hearing the old man say "Xiao Yan Realm", most of the disciples became a little excited after breathing a long sigh of relief.

"All right, now you can go back and make some preparations, and then gather here in three days. Then we will set off with the other seven new disciples of the Outer Courtyard and head to the Xiaoyan Realm. ”

After Jiang Zhong finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to leave, and he turned around and walked towards the back of the main hall.

Liang Zhange, the deputy head of the courtyard, hurriedly followed.

"Congratulations to the master of the Jiang Academy!" Seeing this, all the disciples in the hall bowed down and sent each other off.

The old man didn't turn around, just waved his hand at everyone, and then he and Liang Zhange gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

When everyone scattered and left, Liu Ming immediately found Hikina and Xueyun.

"Senior Brother Yan, Miss Xueyun. Liu Ming stepped forward and clasped his fists with both hands.

"Brother Liu is polite, I'm only a few years older, so they call me a senior brother. Actually, I'm also a new outer disciple. Hikina hurriedly replied.

After witnessing Liu Ming's killing of the Heavenly Remnant Boy, this originally arrogant slender young man. Naturally, he didn't dare to neglect Liu Ming anymore.

The girl of Xueyun on the side also saluted Liu Mingqiu.

"Brother Yan. I hadn't heard of this introductory trial and the Xiao Yan Realm before, so I don't know if Brother Yan can teach you a lesson or two. Liu Ming asked directly and straight to the point.

"Brother Liu doesn't know about the trial and the Xiao Yan Realm?Oh, a disciple who has not been selected by the test and directly recommended by the Law Enforcement Hall to enter this academy that has been discussed in the courtyard recently, could it be Brother Liu?"

"If Piaohong Academy doesn't have a second person recommended by the Law Enforcement Palace, it should be Liu. Liu Ming heard this. He replied with a calm expression.

"If that's the case, it's not too strange that Brother Liu doesn't know about the trial. In fact, speaking of this introductory trial, the origin is because after a great catastrophe experienced by the Taiqing Sect more than 10,000 years ago, the main purpose is to test the actual combat adaptability of the introductory disciples. Although the content of the general trial is not too dangerous, there is still the danger of falling, and every time a few disciples accidentally lose their lives during the trial. Yan Ming immediately explained to Liu Ming.

"I see. Hearing this, Liu Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"The Little Yan Realm is a huge secret realm newly discovered by Taiqing Gate more than a hundred years ago. It actually contained extremely rich fire energy, and some fire spirits were born. And most of the other creatures and plants are also fire attributes, and there are really many spiritual materials that are extremely rare in the eyes of the outside world. The disciples who chose this place as the place of trial in the previous sessions have really gained a lot of benefits from it. And those who practice fire attribute exercises have benefited a lot. Of course, although those fire spirits are not highly intelligent, they are born with an amazing ability to manipulate fire. Its essence core is an excellent refining material, if it can subdue one or two. Equally valuable. Hikina continued with a solemn expression.

When Hikona mentioned the word "fire spirit", Liu Ming's heart moved. I can't help but recall the gambling battle between Wei Zhong and Jialan in the Valley of Flames that day, and he used the so-called spirit gathering to incarnate into a black fire spirit after the operation, although he still lost in the end, but the mystery of his secret technique is still fresh in his memory today.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yan. By the way, I see a tall gate standing behind you two today. Senior Brother Yan knows the origin of this person, and I see that his eyes are light purple, and he doesn't seem to be an ordinary human race like us. After Liu Ming thanked him, he suddenly remembered something and asked again.

"If it were someone else, it might not be clear below. But this person and I are the same batch of outer disciples who have been tested to become outer disciples, but I really know how many times they have to read carefully. This person's name is Zang Xuan, and he is indeed not of pure human blood, and he also has a little purple-eyed foreign blood, so he is not only extraordinary, but also able to use his eyes to perform some of the mysterious secret techniques of the purple-eyed clan. After thinking about it for a while, Hikina didn't mean to hide it, and replied calmly.

"Alien bloodline?" Liu Ming was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Senior Brother Liu doesn't need to be so surprised. The so-called alien races, in fact, are mostly branches of the human race, but because of the different regions and environments, and even the acquired cultivation techniques, the bloodlines in the body slowly mutate. Therefore, most of the alien races in the general population are also from the Terran lineage. Our Taiqing Sect and most of the sects on the mainland will not exclude these Terran disciples with some alienated bloodlines, but will be able to accept them equally. And some such disciples with special talents are even more valued by the sect because it is more suitable to practice certain exercises. In addition, most of these aliens from the human race themselves are also very kind to the human race, and even still regard themselves as members of the human race. Of course, the demon race, the spirit race, and a few other real alien races that have no relationship with the human race at all, the major sects will still be very vigilant, and will not accept Terran disciples with such alien bloodlines, or even if they make an exception to accept, they can only become ordinary disciples, and they will never be able to learn the true sect inheritance. And those demons who were tainted by demonic qi and the demons who incarnated after going mad after cultivating demonic skills, even if they were originally from the human race, they were the mortal enemies of our and other human races, and any human cultivator would definitely kill them when they saw someone who contained demon blood, and there would never be a second consideration. Xueyun also quickly explained to Liu Ming in a pleasant voice. (To be continued......)
