Chapter 76

The young girl named Cuier, after muttering some words, suddenly slapped the scroll with one hand.

With a "puff," countless yellow gases mixed with colorful runes rushed out from the scroll, rising to a height of several dozen feet. After swirling for a moment, they actually transformed into a light yellow giant boat.

Although the boat appeared large, it was hazy, as if it were not a physical object.

"Alright, junior brothers and sisters, you can come aboard now." Senior Sister Qian, ignoring the others' surprised expressions, flew onto the mist boat with the green-robed girl.

After exchanging glances, the others hurriedly flew up as well.

"Hey, it's you again!"

As Lei Zhen and the petite woman flew onto the mist boat and took a few steps, they finally noticed Liu Ming not far away, and were somewhat surprised.

"I didn't expect to run into Brother Lei here." Since the other party had spoken, Liu Ming nodded slightly in response.

"If I'm not mistaken, Junior Brother Bai is under Senior Uncle Gui on Jiuying Mountain, right? Instead of diligently cultivating in the mountains, you have time to wander around. Aren't you afraid of delaying your own cultivation?" Lei Zhen's eyes flashed as he asked. He clearly knew Liu Ming's alias and seemed to be quite well-informed about other matters.

"Oh, Brother Lei knows my name. I have some important matters to attend to in Weizhou Market. Even if it will take some time, it's something I have to do." Liu Ming was initially taken aback but then smiled and replied.

"I've heard that a 'task fanatic' recently appeared in the Deed Hall, completing forty to fifty tasks within a few months. It's said to be a newly admitted disciple, also surnamed Bai. Could it be the same person as Brother Bai?" The petite woman, upon hearing this, suddenly smiled and spoke up.

"Cough, if there's no other newly admitted disciple surnamed Bai, it might be me. I'm a bit short on money recently, so I've been doing more tasks to earn some spirit stones." Seeing that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions, Liu Ming could only cough lightly in response.

"Really, Brother Bai! Tsk tsk, I've heard from some senior brothers and sisters that the tasks Brother Bai completed were quite dangerous, even for some older disciples. How did you manage to complete so many at once? Is there some secret to it? By the way, I'm Ouyang Fei, also a disciple of the Tianji lineage." The petite woman, clearly curious, smiled and introduced herself.

"Junior Sister Ouyang is joking. How could there be any secret to the sect's tasks? I just spent more time and had some good luck, which allowed me to complete so many tasks." Liu Ming, hearing this, could only respond vaguely.

"Hmph, do you think I would believe that? If there's a chance, let's have a sparring match. I believe Junior Brother Bai's strength will give me a pleasant surprise." Lei Zhen looked at Liu Ming for a while with eyes like lightning, then suddenly snorted.

"Brother Lei is joking. You have the Nine Spirit Thunder Pulse, how could I be a match for you?" Although Liu Ming was somewhat surprised, he naturally shook his head repeatedly.

"Without a match, how do you know you're not a match? I've heard that you once fought someone from Jiuzhao Mountain and even defeated one of their talented disciples. That can't be false, right?" Lei Zhen, upon hearing this, showed a strange expression on his face and asked.

"How did Brother Lei know about that?" Liu Ming was truly taken aback by this.

"It seems Brother Bai doesn't know, but the news of you defeating a talented disciple from Jiuzhao Mountain has already spread among the senior brothers on Jiuying Mountain, bringing much honor to your lineage. Combined with your recent performance in the Deed Hall, your reputation within the sect is not small." Ouyang Fei smiled and said.

Liu Ming could only sigh bitterly upon hearing this.

"If Junior Brother Bai is unwilling to spar now, then we can wait for the grand competition in a year and a half. You can't possibly skip such a grand event, right?" Lei Zhen stared at Liu Ming and said coolly.

"The grand competition within the sect is unavoidable. However, if I participate, I might not necessarily face Brother Lei." Liu Ming could only force a smile in response.

"That's irrelevant. As long as I see you in action, I'll know your strength. I hope you don't disappoint me then." Lei Zhen said proudly and then left without another word.

Ouyang Fei hurriedly gave Liu Ming an apologetic smile and followed him.

Liu Ming, seeing this, could only shake his head slightly and remain silent.

However, in his heart, his impression of Lei Zhen had slightly improved.

Although Lei Zhen seemed extremely arrogant and fond of fighting, his nature seemed quite simple.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Tianji Mountain allowed Ouyang Fei to accompany him all the time.

As Liu Ming pondered this, a faint light curtain appeared around the mist boat, enveloping everyone. Then, with a tremor, it carried everyone away into the distance.

Liu Ming found a quiet corner on the giant boat, stopped, and looked out through the light curtain, while also sensing the speed of the mist boat.

Although the mist boat was much faster than the levitation technique, it was still a world apart from the Bi Ling Flying Boat.

It seemed this was not a flying spirit tool but rather a special method combining a certain spell and a special talisman.

As Liu Ming studied the secrets of the mist boat, he touched a small cloth bag in his sleeve.

The bag contained only about thirty exceptionally clear crystals, which were the mid-grade spirit stones he had exchanged from the sect.

Otherwise, if he had to carry over three thousand low-grade spirit stones, he would have had to carry a large bag.

The reason he was willing to spend over a hundred contribution points to go to Weizhou Market was to exchange these spirit stones for some pills to increase his mana.

After all, the interval between the two mysterious bubbles was only about half a year.

He needed to increase his cultivation before the next outbreak.

According to the information he had gathered from others, if he didn't consider the quality of the pills, these spirit stones should be enough to buy quite a few.

However, the quality of the pills was also extremely important for cultivators.

High-quality mana-increasing pills not only increase mana more, but also have purer medicinal power and fewer impurities, significantly reducing the resistance to the pills in the body.

After all, once the resistance to a certain pill in a cultivator's body becomes too high, taking more of the same type of pill will have little effect.

The higher the grade of the pill, the more emphasis is placed on its quality.

When one's cultivation is low, a few mana-increasing pills might be enough to make a significant advancement. But once one reaches the Spirit Master level or higher, taking dozens or even hundreds of pills might only result in a small step forward.

At that point, the higher the quality of the pill, the more such pills one can take, and the more mana one can increase.

For pills with special effects, the higher the quality, the greater the enhancement of the effect.

As a result, high-quality pills can be several times or even ten times more expensive than ordinary quality pills, which is common in the cultivation world.

However, these were still too distant for him at the moment.

He was still in the middle stage of the Spirit Apprentice, so he didn't need to be too concerned about this issue.

Liu Ming, looking out of the mist boat, sighed and pondered this.

Suddenly, he turned around.

He saw that the girl named Cuier had appeared not far away, and was staring at him, or rather, at the black leather bag at his waist, without blinking.

"Is there something Senior Sister needs to instruct me?" Liu Ming, feeling uneasy under her gaze, forced a smile and asked.

"This aura is correct; it is indeed a Soul Nurturing Bag. Junior Brother, would you like to discuss something? How about selling me this Soul Nurturing Bag?" The green-robed girl finally tore her gaze away from the leather bag and smiled at Liu Ming.

"I'm afraid this will disappoint Senior Sister. I'm not selling this item." Liu Ming's heart tightened, but he immediately shook his head.

"Junior Brother, don't be so certain. How about I exchange it for an exquisite talisman... or even two if that's not enough!" The green-robed girl said repeatedly.

Liu Ming's expression faltered upon hearing this.

The Soul Nurturing Bag was a treasure akin to a spirit tool, and the other party was willing to exchange it for one or two talismans. What did this mean? Was she planning to take it by force?

However, looking at the green-robed girl's cute, smiling face, it didn't seem like it.

Liu Ming, feeling more alert, shook his head repeatedly.

The green-robed girl quickly raised the price to three talismans and continued to persist.

"Cuier, what are you doing? Come over here quickly."

At this moment, a cold voice came from another direction.

Liu Ming looked up and saw Senior Sister Qian walking over, her expression unchanged as she spoke to the green-robed girl.

"Ah, why isn't Senior Sister controlling the flying boat? Don't fly in the wrong direction." The green-robed girl, upon seeing Senior Sister Qian, immediately walked over as if her buttocks were on fire, smiling apologetically.

"Hmph, I let Liuzu temporarily control the flying boat. It seems your old habit has resurfaced. Once you see something you like, you can't move and start pestering others. Junior Brother, don't mind her. Cuier doesn't have any ill intentions; she's just a bit mischievous." Senior Sister Qian, after scolding the girl a few times, turned to Liu Ming and her expression softened.

"It's fine; Senior Sister Cuier didn't do anything excessive." Liu Ming, facing one of the top five core disciples of the ManGui Sect, naturally didn't dare to be impolite.

"By the way, what is Junior Brother's surname, and which lineage are you from?" Senior Sister Qian nodded, but her gaze swept over the leather bag at his waist before asking another question.

"My surname is Bai, and I am a disciple of Senior Uncle Gui on Jiuying Mountain!" Liu Ming, unsure of her intentions, did not hide anything.

"Oh, a disciple of Senior Uncle Gui. It seems this Soul Nurturing Bag wasn't given to you by the sect. I have a suggestion for Junior Brother. If you don't want this item to be easily recognized, it's best to coat it with red mud. This way, very few people will be able to recognize it. After all, Weizhou Market is full of people with loose lips, so it's best to be more cautious." Senior Sister Qian said calmly.

"Thank you for the advice, Senior Sister. I know what to do." Liu Ming was slightly taken aback but quickly thanked her.

Senior Sister Qian nodded and then led the still somewhat reluctant green-robed girl away.

"Junior Brother Bai, please consider it more. The price can still be negotiated." Liu Ming suddenly heard Cuier's voice in his ear, leaving him speechless.
