Chapter 85: Condensing the Aura into Cultivation Qi

“When did you discover me?” A figure walked out from the entrance of a cave. The black silhouette appeared in a flash; it was the black-robed gloomy male that Liu Ming had met before.

Only this time, after looking at the area where the enormous fireball had previously exploded and then looking back at Liu Ming, his face was full of fear.

“Although Senior Sima was well hidden, unfortunately there was a period of time when you didn’t control your aura properly and let it slightly discombobulate. Otherwise, how would I have discovered you.” Liu Ming turned around and looked at the black-robed male while insipidly speaking.

Simultaneously, the White Bone Scorpion drilled out of the ground once again. Its green flame eyes pulsated as it stared at the unexpected guest.

“So that’s how. Nonetheless, no matter who it is, I’m afraid that anyone who sees Junior Bai’s strength will be startled. I’m not even going to mention the Warrior Level ghost; your current strength is already of a Late Spirit Apostle, moreover, I’m afraid that your Wind Blade and Fireball Techniques have already condensed a Technique Seal.” Sima Tian slowly replied.

“Technique Seal?”

This was the second time Liu Ming had heard of this.

Back then, he had learned of this name from the Wasp Bandit and had proceeded to search for it in a few books. However, he wasn’t able to find any related accounts.

“Yes, when various techniques are cultivated to perfection, a Technique Seal will be condensed in one’s mind and become a godly power. When its full power is released, the formidability of it will be a world of difference from its previous power. Hehe, the person who provided me with information unexpectedly said you were a Three Spiritual Pulse disciple who only had a mere Middle Spirit Apostle cultivation. Their dog eyes really are blind! According to my knowledge, if one wanted to condense a Technique Seal for the Wind Blade and Fireball Techniques, he or she would have to renounce cultivating other techniques and spend at least three to four years cultivating either technique. Yet, Junior Bai surprisingly is able to wield both at perfection. It seems that Junior’s gift for cultivating techniques surpasses a normal person’s imagination.” Sima Tian coldly said.

“Hmmm, there is someone who wanted you to come here to cause me trouble?” Liu Ming raised his eyebrows, but there was no sign of surprise on his face.

“That’s right. Originally, I thought it would be an easy affair, but after seeing Junior Bai’s true strength, the measly amount of Spirit Stones offered is but a joke considering I have to face such a strong enemy. In other words, I don’t have complete confidence in defeating you, so I won’t be performing any actions that may invite a rebuff. However, if you and I are to meet again in the Large Competition, I will definitely use my entire strength and will not go easy.” After speaking, Sima Tian’s figure headed toward the cave’s exit and surprisingly retreated.

Witnessing this scene, Liu Ming rubbed his chin, but didn’t chase.

Although the opposing party had the same Late Spirit Apostle cultivation as the Wasp Bandit which he had killed earlier, his body contained an extremely dangerous aura that made Liu Ming pay extra attention to.

Whatever… since the opposing party knew to retreat, he could be considered a smart person!

Although Liu Ming was interested in testing the true strength of core disciples, suffering injuries in this area would render him unable to continue fighting here. Furthermore, if he were to bump into others who harbored malicious intentions, it would be a large problem.

After thinking like this, Liu Ming also extinguished any ideas of fighting with the opposing party.

At this time, the nearby White Bone Scorpion began to wildly crawl around. It had somehow used his claws to excitedly bring the Miasma Bead and a half foot bone that was covered in faint gray gas, to Liu Ming’s side.

“Hmmm, this Spirit Bone is….” Liu Ming’s gaze swept over the Spirit Bone picked up by the White Bone Scorpion. Instantly, his expression turned to shock as he picked it up with a hand and began to meticulously examine it.

“Sure enough, it is a Hundred Year Spirit Bone; furthermore, its quality seems to be quite high! Very good, the Miasma Bead will be a reward for you.” After examining it, Liu Ming was overjoyed and proceeded to place the Spirit Bone into a wood box before carefully putting it away.

Adjacently, when the White Bone Scorpion, eagerly waiting, heard Liu Ming’s words, it bluntly swallowed the Miasma Bead and then let out a pleased whimpering sound.

Just now, the human formed skeleton bone ghost was extremely strong and was the strongest Warrior level Bone Ghost Liu Ming had encountered in this area thus far. Its Miasma Bead would definitely provide a large amount of nourishment for the White Bone Scorpion. If Liu Ming were to bring the bead outside and exchange it for Contribution Points, earning a few hundred Contribution Points was not impossible.

Liu Ming shook his head and picked up the remaining iron piece and the half axe blade. After examining them, he threw both into an animal skin bundle.

These two items were able to withstand the enormous fireball so they clearly were not common items. They probably could be sold for a few Spirit Stones.

Just as Liu Ming grabbed his bundle and was
