A sparsely populated mountain range in the south of the Great Xuan Kingdom, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the aura is thin.

In an inconspicuous valley in an unnamed mountain, the clouds here seemed thicker than elsewhere.

Deep in the belly of the mountain in the valley, in a stone room with a radius of seven or eight zhang, the cold air is pressing, and a wave of cold and gloomy meaning rises from the indoor ground, making the temperature of the stone room seem to be a little colder than it actually is.

In the center of the ground, an expressionless head stood upright in the sand.

The surrounding fine sand is reddish black, crystal clear, and there seems to be black gas flowing slowly in each grain of sand, making the entire sand surface sparkle one after another, adding a touch of mysterious color to the stone room.

The fine sand did not reach the neck of the skull, and the eyes of the skull were closed, and the cold air rose in rhythmic breathing.

The room was so cold, but there were layers of beads of sweat on the forehead of the skull, and as time passed, the expression on his face became more and more struggling, as if he was experiencing some kind of unbearable pain.

I don't know how much time passed, as the cold air above the stone room distorted, and after a low roar, a figure jumped out of the red black sand on the ground.

The upper half of the figure's body was naked, and under the long-term infiltration of red black sand, the surface of the skin also showed a layer of red black, and there was still a trace of cold air rising on the surface of the body, and then I saw that as soon as he raised his hand, a ball of clear water fell from the sky, washing away the residual fine sand and some unabsorbed liquid on the surface of his body.

"The four hours have finally arrived, and we can start again. ”

Liu Ming looked up to the sky and exhaled, moving his muscles and bones. I only heard a "crackling" sound from the inside of the muscles and bones around my body.

Judging from the figure, he is compared to before entering the valley. The flesh is much more solid.

Then, I saw him throw one hand into the air. With a pinch of the other hand, two orange balls of light blurred for a while, and a crackling sound sounded, and two iron ape puppet beasts the size of two zhang and orange and red around them immediately appeared in the air.

Liu Ming shook his hand again, and two pieces of earth citrine flew out, which were immediately and accurately embedded in the hollow in the middle of the puppet beast's chest.

"Roar!"

"Bang!"

With two low roars, the puppet beast's eyes flashed red, and it rolled in the air, and then landed heavily in front of Liu Ming. There was a flurry of fine sand, and the ape-like face showed a hideous color, revealing the fangs of the forest.

Liu Ming did not hesitate, slapped the soul nourishing bag on his waist with one hand, and after a black glow, a bone scorpion covered with red scales the size of a bean grain also appeared in front of him.

The bone scorpion "hissed" and screamed, and without Liu Ming's command, it jumped and stood between the two puppet beasts. The "snake head" in the back flickered, and he actually put on a eager attack.

Seeing this, Liu Ming pinched the trick with one hand and five fingers, and immediately the black qi on the surface of his body rolled out. It slowly rotated around its body, and after a slight itch around it, it flickered with a burst of red light. A layer of scales the size of a grain of red rice emerges from the skin and rapidly grows to two inches in size at a speed visible to the flesh. Covers the whole body.

Liu Ming shook his hands again, and two popping sounds came from the air. A black mist burst out from the chalk of the body, suddenly split into two, turning into a black dragon and a black giant tiger, as if the essence of the air swooped together, with a dragon groan and a tiger roar, it immediately retracted back to the surface of Liu Ming's body, lifelike, as if it was a living thing on its body surface constantly interactive.

Immediately, Liu Ming sensed the bone scorpion through his mind, and at the same time used his dual-purpose talent to give an attack order to the two iron apes with one hand.

I saw that the bone scorpion immediately jumped up, and the "hiss" strange cry was accompanied by a blur of the "snake head" behind the roar, and countless black shadows attacked and exploded on the surface of Liu Ming's body.

After the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, the strength of the bone scorpion has been promoted to the early stage of the Condensation Realm, coupled with the adventures of its crossing tribulation and the refining of the materials on the body of the Crystallization Stage Red Jiao that it devoured when it advanced, its attack is far beyond the physical body of an ordinary Condensation Stage Cultivator.

And Liu Ming, with the blessing of the Red Jiao Scales around his body, the Soul Bone Battle, and the Dragon and Tiger Hell Skills, his physical body is by no means comparable to that of ordinary late-stage condensation refiners, and compared with the two, it seems that Liu Ming's physical body defense is superior.

Therefore, although the bone scorpion "snake head" has an amazing attack speed and the sound of explosions in the air is endless, it has never been able to break through its defenses except for leaving bursts of white spots and clanging sounds on the scales around Liu Ming's body, but it also makes Liu Ming constantly grin under its attack, which seems to be uncomfortable.

At the same time, the two iron ape puppets seemed to be unwilling to lag behind, and each took out a diamond rod with a length of two zhang and a thin wrist, and involuntarily beat Liu Mingzhou's body violently, and let out a "woo" roar from time to time.

Liu Ming clenched his hands into fists, standing in the center, letting the bone scorpion and the puppet beast attack and beat him, from time to time let out a muffled sound, the black dragon and tiger on the surface of the body flowed endlessly, the green tendons under the scales of his forehead and hands burst out, bursts of sweat beads continued to emerge, and the pain on his face was even better than before.

In addition to normal meditation and pranayama, Liu Ming used several self-configured spiritual fluids to soak and quench his body every day, and buried himself in the red yin sand to breathe and breathe, and then beat his body everywhere for an hour through the summoned bone scorpions and puppet beasts, so that the medicinal power could soak into the muscles and veins and bones around his body, so that the body could be continuously forged under the yin qi environment it was composed of, and it had been almost half a year.

On this day, after Liu Ming had once again experienced the tempering of the flesh by the Red Yin Sand and the Bone Scorpion Puppet Beast for five full five hours, he returned to another stone room in the belly of the mountain, sat cross-legged on the ground, pinched the trick with one hand, and immediately immersed his mind in the sea of divine consciousness again.

The black and white armillary monument in the sea of divine consciousness was still floating silently, and the silver gravel in the lower half of the hourglass was one more layer than when it left the Barbarian Ghost Sect.

Before he could think about it, Liu Ming's divine thought moved, and after a flash of black light, the thick black book of the Dragon and Tiger Hell Gong immediately appeared, and then flipped over.

In the past six months, he has been contemplating this second layer of Dharma Determination every day, although he has not yet comprehended it thoroughly, but the effect obtained through external force forging is similar to that described in the book, although the progress does not seem to be fast, and it seems that it is impossible to complete the cultivation of the second layer in less than ten years.

When Liu Ming thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But he never thought that after the cultivation of the second layer of the Dragon and Tiger Hell Skill, he could advance to the late stage of condensation, and within a few years, he would advance from the middle stage of condensate to the late stage of condensation.

You must know that even a cultivation genius like the Heavenly Spirit Vein and the Earth Spirit Vein often stagnates for more than ten years or even decades during the condensation period, after all, the cultivation bottleneck that most immortal cultivators encounter when they advance requires not only a long period of hard cultivation, but also chance and luck.

"It seems that the forging body cultivation of this Dragon and Tiger Hell Skill still needs to be continued, but the spiritual liquid used in this forging body is no longer enough, since its effect is good, you can purchase more this time. ”

Liu Ming thought about it like this, and immediately stood up without hesitation, and after a little tidying up, he came to the entrance of the cave, and then his sleeves shook, and a ball of blue light flew out, and after pinching a little more, the blue light immediately shook in the wind and turned into a cyan flying boat the size of several zhang.

As soon as his body flickered, he stood firmly at the front of the flying boat, and after lightly touching the ground with one foot, the flying boat "whoosh" turned into a blue light and shot away in the direction of Qinzhou Fang City.

......

"The qualifications of the earth spirit vein are not among the six sons, it seems that although this Yunchuan Continent is only a corner of the world realm, an island in the sea, but its depth is not something ordinary people can imagine. ”

A month later, Liu Ming returned to the cave again.

His trip to Fang City this time was not only fruitful, but the materials purchased for the configuration of the body forging spirit liquid were enough to be used in the next few years, and at the same time, the boiling news in the shops of the Fang City Restaurant was that the six sons of the three true six sons of the Yunchuan Alliance were finally selected.

As the sixth son who will be cultivated by the power of the whole continent sect in the future, the selected one is not only an affirmation of his potential qualifications, but also greatly increases the possibility of his future advanced crystallization stage, and even the legendary fake Dan real Dan stage seems to have a slight possibility.

After all, in addition to qualifications, penance, and chance, cultivation resources are also the most important thing, and sometimes even surpass the previous three.

And the fact that the success rate of most cultivators in the casual cultivation and family to advance or even enlighten the soul is so low is due to their lack of cultivation resources, and the Bai family back then was the best example.

Even if you can't achieve the legendary Fake Dan True Dan, it will naturally be easy to become a strong person in the crystallization stage, and after resisting the invasion of the Sea Clan in the future, you can start a sect and become famous in Yunchuan.

After all, looking at the entire continent, the crystallization stage is definitely one of the few truly strong people.

After all, the selection of the three truths was produced among a small number of people, and the dust has long been settled. Therefore, the degree of attention paid by the whole continent to the selection of the six sons is not comparable to anything else.

Just as the head of the Barbarian Ghost Sect and Senior Brother Huang said, Gao Chong, as a disciple of the Earth Spirit Vein launched by the Barbarian Ghost Sect, was not selected as one of the six sons. And Zhang Xiuniang, who is also a Great Xuan Kingdom, and Liu Ming, who had heard of the Yuan Demon Sect called Ye Tianyu, were among them, and the other four were genius disciples of other sects.

Although Liu Ming was a little concerned about this matter, with his three spirit vein qualifications, he didn't have much to do with the six sons.

said to him, the top priority is to cultivate and forge the body.

After Liu Ming pondered, he sat cross-legged in the stone room again and began to meditate and breathe.

And so it went on for another half a year.

On this day, just as Liu Ming had smeared several body forging elixirs on his body and was about to start burying them deep in the red yin sand, there was a "buzzing" sound from a certain leather bag around his waist. (To be continued......)
