Chapter 1000: Regained True Name

“Master has overpraised. I was just lucky.” Liu Ming replied respectfully.

“Okay, Liu Ming! You don’t have to be too humble. With your current strength, few people among the inner disciples can match you. I’m afraid that after this trip to the ruins, your strength will also be improved. Do you have any plans for the future?” Yin Jiuling waved to him and said.

“I want to retreat to hit the bottleneck. If after a period of time, I still can’t find the opportunity to advance to the Real Pellet State, I intend to enter the Evil Ghost Way.” Liu Ming said without any hesitation.

“En, you can follow your own plan for cultivation matters. If you need anything, you can come to me for guidance any time.” Yin Jiuling nodded after hearing this.

“Thank you, master.” Liu Ming bowed.

In the following time, Yin Jiuling casually asked about what happened in the upper realm ruins, then he sent Liu Ming away.

After returning to the cave house, Liu Ming immediately opened the entrance to the cave and went into the secret room.

Shortly after Liu Ming began to retreat, there was news that Jin Tianci had advanced to the Celestial State and regained the name of Jin Lieyang!

The name Jin Lieyang was very astounding in the Middle Sky Continent 800 hundred years ago. His reputation lasted for more than a hundred years.

Now that he got the attention of everyone, he naturally became a hot topic in the Taiqing Sect.

In a side hall of Tianjian Peak, a young man in a brocade robe wearing a jade crown was sitting on an emerald jade chair; a woman in a purple dress was standing beside him. The person was Long Yanfei.

“I didn’t expect to hear that Jin Tianci has gotten back to the Celestial State after I come out of retreat. What happened to this trip to the ruins? It actually forced him to unlock the seal… By the way, Fei’er, you had gone to the upper realm ruins too. Do you know what happened?” The young man wearing the jade crown was Immortal Yu Heng, the master of Tianjian Peak.

“Replying to master, I was assigned to the team of Senior Fellow Apprentice Qiu at the time. Later, I learned from Junior Fellow Apprentice Luo and others that they seemed to be ambushed by some alien races while exploring a ruin. In order to protect several other disciples, Fellow Apprentice Jin had to remove the seal and advance to the Celestial State. But Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin is actually the rumored Jin Lieyang, what is going on?” Long Yanfei replied truthfully, but she was only still a little surprised about Jin Lieyang.

“Haiz, if it weren’t for some accidents in the past, with his amazing talent, our sect might have had another Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse… As for the ins and outs, it’s a secret. I can’t go into details. This trip to the ruins was really full of danger…” The young man wearing the jade crown suddenly asked.

Long Yanfei didn’t ask any more questions, then she began to tell Immortal Yu Heng what she had seen and heard in the secret realm ruins.

…

In an octagonal gazebo on the mountainside of Mystic Sky Peak, several Mystic Sky Peak disciples dressed in silver brocade robes were gathered together and discussing something.

These people were vaguely led by a handsome young man, who was Luo Tiancheng with a dutian spiritual body.

“Jin Tianci is actually Senior Jin Lieyang back then? Is this true?” A plain-looking young man asked.

“When I first entered the inner door, I heard Senior Fellow Apprentice Fan talk about his deeds. Tsk tsk, he is the goal of my efforts!” Another short and plump young man said with a look of admiration.

“By the way, Tiancheng. I heard that several grand elders asked him to suppress his cultivation to protect the rookies in the upper realm ruins, is that true?” Another tall and rough-looking young man turned around and asked Luo Tiancheng. This person was Luo Tiancheng’s cousin, Fan Zheng.

“In the ruins, Senior Fellow Apprentice Tianci of the Real Pellet State was able to resist the Celestial State demon of Thousands Demons Continent, which showed his strength. If he is really Jin Lieyang, I think it is reasonable. But I heard that the Senior Fellow Apprentice Tianci looks completely different from the previous Jin Lieyang, this is a bit strange.” Luo Tiancheng replied calmly with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

…

Although Liu Ming was in retreat, he received a message from Long Yanfei and learned about it.

Speaking of which, he had also spent a lot of time inquiring about Jin Tianci’s many mysterious behaviors and the rapid progress of his cultivation, but the news about Jin Tianci in the sect was very rare. No one even knew which peak he belonged to. So, there was no way to go deep into it.

Now that he learned that it was Jin Lieyang, he was also greatly amazed.

He didn’t expect that the esoteric disciple of the Taiqing Sect, who only appeared once in ten thousand years, would have had so many interactions with him.

He recalled the first encounter with him, and he finally understood the puzzles later on.

Now that Jin Tianci had regained his status as Jin Lieyang, his status in the sect could be imagined. He might have less interaction with him in the future.

After Liu Ming sighed again, he closed his eyes again and continued to concentrate on his practice.

3 years had passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Liu Ming only left the cave house once when Jia Lan successfully broke through the bottleneck. He spent the rest of the time in the secret room to concentrate on cultivation.

Even so, with his spiritual power at the peak state, after trying various methods, he still could not find the slightest chance to condense a real pellet.

However, he cultivated the blood shield mystic arts obtained in the upper realm ruins to a small success, and he had refined the seven-color coral and the thousand-year-old soul chasing grass into a pellet grade ming xin pill.

But what made him most depressing was that Luo Hu still hadn’t woken up. No matter how he called, there was no response from him at all. After all, he had promised to help him with prison power, which was also the biggest help for him to condense the real pellet.

After some thought, he decided to discuss with his master Yin Jiuling to go directly into the Evil Ghost Way. After all, the remaining time was limited.

Speaking of which, many people had stayed in the Pseudo Pellet State because they couldn’t find the slightest opportunity to condense real pellet. Decades or even hundreds of years were not surprising. After all, among the 100 Crystallization Period cultivators, it was a fortune that 1 person could finally advance to the Real Pellet State.

Because of this that some eager seekers would use external means to help breaking through to the Real Pellet State, so it was very likely to condense a Three Holes of Inferior Grade Real Pellet. This meant that the person’s way of cultivation would be stuck here forever.

However, this kind of situation was quite common among casual cultivators. In a large sect such as Taiqing Sect, due to the abundance of resources, most of the disciples would find the opportunity to form the real pellet. If it wasn’t a desperate situation, they wouldn’t use external means to forcibly condense a real pellet.

In an inconspicuous side hall next to the main hall of Fallen Serene Peak, Yin Jiuling was discussing with Liu Ming about entering the Evil Ghost Way.

“Master, I have been in seclusion for 3 years now, but I still can’t find the chance to advance to the Real Pellet State. I plan to go to the Evil Ghost Way to find a chance.” Liu Ming cupped his fist and said respectfully.

“If that’s the case, then you can go to the Evil Ghost Way to hone your skills. I have already applied for you. This is my token, take it. In addition, Xiao Wu has been there for dozens of years. You can check how she was doing there.” Yin Jiuling nodded after hearing this. After saying a few words, he threw out a token with bloody light from his sleeve.

“Thank you, master. I understand.” Liu Ming waved and took the token, then he cupped his fist and said.

“Before entering, do as much preparation as possible. Although there will be guards from the 4 major sects there, and various supply items will be sold there, but because Evil Ghost Way needed a lot of consumables, the price will be very high and the quality is very low. There are often shortages. In addition, regarding the spiritual medicine that has a supporting effect in advancing to the Real Pellet State, remember to keep them with you at all times so that you can grasp the opportunity to condense real pellet when it occurs.” Yin Jiuling reminded.

After Liu Ming thanked Yin Jiuling again, he said goodbye to Yin Jiuling and flew to the sect market.

After half a day, Liu Ming walked out of the sect market.

With his current wealth, the items in the sect market couldn’t meet his needs at all. He didn’t need to the low grade elixirs, but there were very few intermediate to high grade elixirs. As for the elixirs with excellent healing effect, they had to be exchanged with contribution points.

So he just bought some necessary talismans and elixirs, then he went to Precious Hall again.

There, he relied on his million contribution points to exchange for a large amount of elixirs. He also exchanged for several exlixirs that were slightly helpful for breaking through to the Real Pellet State at a high price. After all, the opportunity was hard to seek. If he found one, he of course wouldn’t let it slip away.

3 days later, Liu Ming set off from the cave house again after getting everything ready.

Because Liu Ming was now well-known in the sect, the news that Liu Ming spent millions of contribution points to enter the Evil Ghost Way had spread quickly.

“Liu Ming, this kid actually went to Evil Ghost Way, but I’m still close to reaching the Pseudo Pellet State world. Damn it!”

In the secret room of a cave house in Mystic Sky Peak, Luo Tiancheng was holding a sound transmission talisman in his hand and muttered to himself coldly.

In another hidden cave house in Taiqing Sect, a young man in a golden robe was sitting cross-legged.

Suddenly, his eyes opened slightly, and the star lights on his body kept flowing.

This person was Jin Lieyang who advanced to the Celestial State not long ago.

“Liu Ming is finally going to Evil Ghost Way. If everything goes well, he should have advanced to Real Pellet State by the time we meet again. Not bad! It’s a pity that I have many tasks to deal with after advancing, otherwise I can meet him there. By the way, it has been a long time since I went there.” Jin Lieyang murmured helplessly after he smiled.
