Chapter 69

Although the White Bone Scorpion was still covered in wounds, Liu Ming was able to communicate with its consciousness very easily, and even found the mental mark he had left inside it.

Only then did he feel a sense of relief.

Indeed, as he had originally thought, since the White Bone Scorpion's consciousness had also entered that mysterious space, after subduing it in the space, the Spirit Communication Technique was still effective when it returned to the outside.

Liu Ming immediately tapped the White Bone Scorpion with one hand, loosening the black ropes around it, and the silver runes on his forehead also dissipated into the air. He smiled slightly and was about to stand up.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a tremor in his previously depleted Spirit Sea, and an extremely pure energy surged out from it, causing his internal magic power to rise rapidly at an unbelievable speed.

Liu Ming was first startled, but then he became greatly pleased. He made a hand seal and began to meditate and regulate his breathing on the spot.

After a short while, his internal magic power had recovered to nearly half of what it was before entering the mysterious space, but the energy surging from the Spirit Sea suddenly changed, becoming extremely cold.

Liu Ming felt that this cold energy, once it spread throughout his body, made his entire body stiff as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

In a panic, he hurriedly tried to change the technique, but in that instant, he couldn't even move his fingers, while the cold energy continued to surge out like a flood.

His face turned extremely pale, and after a quick glance downward, he was shocked to find that his originally plump and glossy hands were rapidly withering at a visible speed, and the skin on other parts of his body was also beginning to shrivel and turn slightly blue.

"Ghost Body Transformation"

Liu Ming was greatly alarmed, and the term he had seen in ancient texts instantly flashed through his mind. He also suddenly realized the origin of this cold energy.

It was most likely the large amount of yin energy that the White Bone Scorpion had absorbed, which had been swallowed by the bubble and then purified before being returned to him.

Although this yin energy could enhance his magic power, the yin cold force it contained could also transform his flesh and blood into a pure yin ghost body, making him one of the ghost creatures.

Liu Ming, having figured this out in a flash, felt his heart sink.

The amount of extremely cold energy in his body was increasing, and his magic power seemed to be frozen, making it impossible for him to take any action.

In a panic, he suddenly made up his mind and, at the risk of magic power backlash, used his mental power to forcefully stimulate the Spirit Sea.

The Spirit Sea, which had been nearly solidified, trembled slightly, and some magic power finally began to fluctuate out.

Liu Ming then used this magic power to instantly activate the Dark Bone Technique, intending to force the cold energy under control, even if it meant severely damaging his internal meridians.

But just as the Dark Bone Technique was勉强运行起来的时候，不可思议的事情发生了。

一部分奇寒能量骤然间一分为二，一部分化为了精纯法力，另一部分却纷纷自行的没入各处骨骼之中，就此消失的无影无踪。

Liu Ming was startled, but in the current situation, as long as he could prevent himself from turning into a ghost, he naturally didn't care其他的事情了。他当即心念只是略一转动，就继续拼命催动冥骨决。

诡异的一幕出现了。

一边是柳鸣灵海中不停涌出奇寒能量，一边是在冥骨决催动之下，奇寒能量纷纷化为法力和溶入骨骼之中。

两者之间，一时间形成了一个临时的平衡。

不过柳鸣正在转化的鬼体，终于停止了下来。

一盏茶工夫后，他灵海微微一颤后，涌出的奇寒能量一下嘎然而止了。

Liu Ming, upon discovering this, was overjoyed and continued to madly drive the Dark Bone Technique.

不知过了多久后，当他体内最后一丝阴寒也被冥骨决消融掉后，身躯也同时恢复了正常。

Liu Ming stopped the technique, examined his now plump and glossy hands, and let out a long breath, but he was still quite fearful.

刚才他若是稍微迟疑了一下，恐怕就真要成为鬼物中一员了。

不过冥骨决竟能够化解阴寒之力的侵蚀，这实在是让他大感吃惊的事情。

若是如此的话，岂不是说他以后即使在这幽冥鬼地长时间修行，也可以无恙的？不对，若是真能如此的话，他刚来幽冥鬼地的时候，催动冥骨决尝试修炼的时候，为何未出现此种情形的。可见出现他体内的这股精纯阴寒，和普通阴气还是大不一样的。

毕竟那阴气所化能量先是从白骨蝎那边传送过来，然后再经过那神秘气泡吞噬吸纳，又加以精纯再吐纳而回，属性早已改变了不少。

Liu Ming shook his head, thinking about this.

况且刚才一番经历差点让其真变成了一头鬼物，实在是惊险万分，就算在此地修炼能有一些增幅作用，他也绝不真想再去尝试一下的。

Liu Ming, thinking of the White Bone Scorpion, turned his head and looked over, then slightly paused.

只见这时的骨蝎，被一大团滚滚绿气彻底淹没了。

以这团绿气的浓厚几近凝实程度，即使以柳鸣眼力，都无法看清里面的骨蝎在坐什么。

他眉头一皱后，当即就想起了刚才反馈的那股阴寒能量。

这头骨蝎既然也进入到了那神秘空间，难道也有此种能量反馈给它，若是如此的话，对其自然只有好处而没有坏处的。

如此一想后，柳鸣心中略松，就在一旁静静等待起来。

结果这一等，就是一顿饭时间之久。

当一声怪鸣传出，绿气就此的一散而开后，骨蝎身形才重新显现而出。

Liu Ming carefully examined it and couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

只见这时的白骨蝎，双目绿焰闪动，钩尾乌黑发亮，体表一些伤痕全也都消失不见，甚至躯也比先前长了半尺之多，只是身侧那个大洞仍然存在，同时身躯处骨骼颜色似乎有些微微灰白起来，似乎不复当初的白森森模样。

Liu Ming, seeing this, was naturally quite surprised, but after communicating with the bone scorpion's consciousness, he was also greatly relieved.

原来这时的骨蝎，虽然还没有其全盛时的实力，但也恢复了七八成左右，只要再将最后的伤势治愈后，就可真正无恙，也能拥有腾空飞行的能力。

不过，当他弄清楚白骨蝎神识中传来的治愈伤势需要的东西时，却不禁一咧嘴起来。

它因为这次身躯受损太严重，竟然需要吞噬其它一些鬼物骨头，才能自行的慢慢修复。

但如此一来的话，他就不能现在返回了，必须先收集一些鬼物骨头，才能放心带着白骨蝎返回宗门。

Liu Ming, after some deliberation, could only make this decision.

好在他先前虽然耗费不少时间，但还有半月之久，再找到几只低阶鬼物应该还不算太困难的。

Liu Ming, having made up his mind, instructed the White Bone Scorpion to keep watch nearby, and he himself began to carefully examine his own condition.

灵海中那个气泡果然再次不见了踪影，法力比以前更加精纯了一些。但法力却并没有掉落太多，显然是因为那些阴寒能量也转化不少法力给其的缘故。

当他神识一扫体内各处骨骼时，脸色不禁微微一变。

只见体内各处骨骼赫然比以前更加洁白几分，隐约还有一层晶光在上面流动不已，明显比以前更结实了几分样子。

“这是……”

他用神识稍微接触体内一根骨骼，当即感受丝丝的冰寒之意，但当运转冥骨决的时候，又感到一切正常，并无丝毫凝滞不灵之处。

Liu Ming, after checking other areas and finding no issues, was completely relieved.

He withdrew his mental power and began to ponder the problem of the mysterious bubble.

This bubble was too strange, clearly still hidden in his body, and might burst out at any time, and it seemed to consume more magic power each time.

This time, if he hadn't been in the Netherworld and had the White Bone Scorpion use some unknown talent to absorb yin energy and supplement him, he wouldn't know what kind of outcome he would have faced.

And if it burst out again while he was in the middle of a battle, wouldn't that be a dead end?

Of course, the bubble's ability to purify magic power and allow him to enter that mysterious space was also very tempting.

Liu Ming, thinking about this, felt a great headache.

Fortunately, from the intervals between the previous two bursts, it seemed that the bubble's activation time was getting longer, or it might need to meet certain conditions. He didn't need to worry too much about it in the short term.

Liu Ming thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so he could only put it aside for now and plan to think about it again after returning to the sect.

The most important thing now was to find other ghost creatures.

Thus, Liu Ming calmed his mind, stood up, and made a hand seal.

A gray cloud immediately condensed under his feet, lifting him several feet high.

Liu Ming then beckoned to the bone scorpion below.

“Puff.”

The bone scorpion leaped up from the ground and landed steadily on the gray cloud.

Liu Ming, after another hand seal, made the gray cloud fly off into the distance.

...

Two days later, at the edge of the black desert, a ghost creature that looked like a sheep or a cow, covered in a thin layer of green flames, was running desperately on the black sand, looking very conspicuous. Not far behind, a raised sand dune was rapidly moving, chasing it relentlessly.

In a flash, they had run several miles.

“Whoosh.”

A black line suddenly shot out from the sand dune behind, instantly piercing through the body of the ghost creature in front, and then yanked it backward, revealing a slender, black scorpion tail.

A scream.

The ghost creature in front immediately fell on its back, and at that moment, the sand dune behind burst open, and a white figure shot out, pouncing on the ghost creature.

Two large pincers appeared and, with a flurry of movement, tore the ghost creature into several pieces.
