Chapter 480: Wood Spirit Cave

Taiqing Sect Apprentice; Sumeru Void Sword Embryo

Half a month later, after Liu Ming returned to Sect, he went directly to the inner hall of Xuan Hall and found the relevant deputy. After handing in the snowclaw spider eggs he received, he received more than 3,000 contribution points!

Although these contribution points were just a drop in the bucket for his huge debt of one million, at least it was enough to redeem the use of the wood spirit cave to condense the Sumeru Void Sword embryo.

After leaving Xuan Hall, Liu Ming immediately flew to another nearby gruesome peak surrounded by light black mist.

On a somewhat concealed platform halfway up the mountain, a rather large pavilion was built. There was no sign outside the pavilion, and the color was similar to the mountain. If one wasn’t careful, so it was not easy to notice its existence without careful inspection.

Here was the well-known Life and Death Pavilion in Wanling Mountain.

After Liu Ming took a look, he landed on the platform and walked in without stopping.

This pavilion seemed ordinary on the outside, but it was totally different inside. Although it was not as spacious as Xuan Hall, the interior layout was somewhat similar, but there were very few people inside, so it looked a bit empty.

I saw a middle-aged man in the costume of a deputy elder standing behind a square stone platform in the middle position, talking to two Taiqing Sect’s outer disciples in a low voice. Two bloody ferocious head were randomly placed on the stone platform.

When the three people over there heard the sound of Liu Ming coming in, they looked back at once.

The middle-aged deputy had a square face and a calm expression. He glanced at Liu Ming and then looked away. The two outer disciples, one of whom looked only in his twenties with a pale face and hee carried a big black sword on his back, while the other person was a tall, sturdy man with a dark complexion. Both hands were empty, but there were several bulging leather bags around his waist. Not knowing what was inside.

The two of them looked at Liu Ming with some curiosity. After all, people who could come to the Life and Death Pavilion would not be ordinary people, but it was the first time they saw Liu Ming’s appearance.

“Are you here to check the wanted list or to receive the reward?” The middle-aged deputy looked at Liu Ming and asked faintly.

“Disciple managed to kill a monster who was wanted on the life and death list when I was out recently. This time, I came to exchange for the reward.” Liu Ming’s voice was very respectful. This middle-aged man looked decent, but his aura was at the Crystallization Period.

“En, wait over there for a moment.” The middle-aged man responded and looked up at the two outer disciples in front of him.

“I have just verified with the images on the life and death list. The two heads you brought are the 971th-ranked Taoist Chi Yue and the 1120th-ranked red robe demon. Give me your token.” The middle-aged man waved his hands and kept the heads from the stone platform, then he said so.

The two were overjoyed when they heard the words. They quickly took out the token and handed it over.

The middle-aged man took out a jade pen in his hand and rewarded more than a thousand contribution points to the two of them. After that, he looked at Liu Ming.

Liu Ming understood. He walked forward a few steps, took out a bag, and placed it on the stone platform. As the bag open, a round head rolled out.

“Eh? This person seems to be Tiancan Tongzi of the Xuanmu Cult. His rank seems to be around 100. You can kill this person?” The middle-aged man glanced, then his eyes condensed suddenly as he said in surprise.

“What? Tiancan Tongzi?!” The two outer disciples, who originally planned to leave, were shocked upon hearing this.

Liu Ming already knew the origin of Tiancan Tongzi from Yan Ming, and after answering, he stood silently and calmly.

The middle-aged man looked at Liu Ming again, nodded and said,

“You can kill this person which means your strength is pretty good. Give me your token.”

Liu Ming immediately took out the token and handed it over.

“Tiancan Tongzi, a disciple of the Xuanmu Cult, who is good at stealth and sneak attacks. He killed 9 disciples in our sect. He ranked 139th on the life and death list and the reward is 5000 contribution points.” The middle-aged man said and took out a white jade token. He shook it at the head of Tiancan Tongzi. The token emitted a brilliant, then it condensed into the image of Tiancan Tongzi.

The middle-aged man nodded, and he immediately waved the jade pen to launch ray at Liu Ming’s token. After Liu Ming checked with his Divine Thought, the contribution points on the token suddenly increased by 5000 points.

“Thank you, senior.” Liu Ming was overjoyed. With these 5000 contribution points, he can do more.

The middle-aged man glanced at him again, then he lifted the head of Tiancan Tongzi, turned and walked inside.

“Hehe, this junior fellow apprentice can kill Tiancan Tongzi. It’s really gratifying. I’m not really familiar with junior fellow apprentice, so you should be a newcomer right? May I know which courtyard are you training at?” The two outer disciples walked over at this moment. The one who spoke was the young man with a clear face.

“Oh, I’m from the Piaohong Courtyard, Liu Ming, the two senior fellow apprentices are…” Liu Ming said.

“It turns out to be Junior Fellow Apprentice Liu. We are the disciples of the Fengling Courtyard. I don’t usually take on the missions of the xuan notice. Instead, I often hunt down the evil cultivators on the life and death list. I will also study the movements of these people. Is junior fellow apprentice interested in teaming up with us? If the three of us join forces, we can try to challenge the higher rank evil cultivators.” The young man with a clear face said with a familiar expression, very enthusiastic.

“About this… I recently plan to stay behind closed-doors for a while. I’m afraid that I will not go out to accept the mission for the time being.” Liu Ming politely rejected without thinking about it. Since he already had enough contribution points, he naturally didn’t want to get into more trouble.

“It’s such a pity. The life and death list ranked above the 100 is worth a few thousand contribution points at most, and the worth one is less than 100.” The man with clear face said with a trace of regret.

The black brawny guy on the side didn’t say a word if he obeyed the decision of his companion.

“The two senior fellow apprentices are so familiar with the life and death list. Can you tell me who are in the top 10 in the life and death list?” Liu Ming’s heart moved, and he asked curiously.

“It has the information about the life and death list’s top 100. You can take a look at it first. if you are interested, come to Xiaoxiang Courtyard to find me at any time.” Seeing Liu Ming seemed to be interested, the man with clear face immediately took out a jade slip from his chest and handed it over.

Liu Ming reached out his hand to take the jade slip and pressed it to his forehead. After reading with his Divine Thought, he realized that the people of the top 100 actually worth more than 10,000 contribution points. The higher the ranking, the higher the contribution points.

The 10th “Black Butterfly Fairy” had a contribution point of over 50,000, and the number one “Blood Emperor” had a contribution point of as many as 1,000,000.

Liu Ming naturally took a deep breath when he saw this!

The names on this life and death list were just the Condensation Period cultivator wanted by Taiqing Sect. A Condensation Period was worth millions of contribution points.

“If I can kill this person, then isn’t that the million contribution points owed to the sect can be paid off immediately?” Liu Ming was a little moved, but he immediately dispelled this idea forcibly.

Since this Blood Emperor was at the top of the list, he naturally wasn’t easy to deal with. His strength would probably be the same as the general Crystallization Period cultivator, and Liu Ming definitely wasn’t his opponent now.

“Thank you two senior fellow apprentices for telling me that. I’ll leave now.” After Liu Ming roughly read the information in the jade slip and got the details of the few, he handed the jade slip back and walked out of the pavilion.

“Tsk tsk, I didn’t think there is such a character in our outer courtyard.” The young man with clear face looked at Liu Ming’s back, and he couldn’t help but say with some emotion.

“If this person single-handedly killed Tiancan Tongzi, he will definitely be a strong enemy in the future.” The brawny man who had been silent all the time suddenly said.

The young man with clear face did not answer.

…

After Liu Ming left the Life and Death Pavilion, he flew directly to the Hall of Five Elements.

At this time, there were not many people in the hall. Liu Ming went straight to a deputy disciple on duty, it was a 30-year-old man with a pocky face.

“Junior fellow apprentice, you want to practice in the Five Elements Spirit Cave?” The man with a pocky face asked without waiting for Liu Ming to speak.

“Exactly, I plan to rent a fifth level wood spirit cave. The period is half a month.” Liu Ming replied without hesitation.

“Alright, I will arrange for junior fellow apprentice right away. But according to the regulations, the use of the fifth level spirit cave requires 200 contribution points a day, junior fellow apprentice…” The man with a pocky face heard the words and looked up and down Liu Ming and reminded him.

After all, it was a huge amount of contribution points for an outer disciple of the Condensation Period intermediate stage.

“Of course, I know how much contribution points should be paid.” Liu Ming replied without hesitation, and he immediately handed over his identity token.

The man with a pocky face gently touched the token with the green jade pen. When he realized that the 3000 contribution points were paid, he smiled in embarrassment. He handed Liu Ming a green jade slip and briefly explained how to use it.

After Liu Ming took the jade slip, he followed the others and walked to a tunnel beside the main hall.

Not long after, he came to the five stone doors lined up side by side. The stone doors were golden, green, blue, red and yellow from left to right, which obviously corresponded to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Liu Ming immediately walked to the green stone door corresponding to the wood attribute and injected a little spiritual power into the jade slip in his hand, then the stone door shook.

A green light flashed out from the jade slip, and it landed on the stone door.

There was also a green halo on the stone door. After a creaking sound, it slowly opened, revealing a white space. A teleportation array was imprinted in the middle, which was emitting bursts of light.

Liu Ming walked into the center of the circle. As the light flashed, his figure disappeared.

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly discovered that he was already in an underground cave that was several feet in diameter.

There was a green mist in the cave. It was tumbling due to the intrusion of an outsider.

Liu Ming sniffed slightly. It was full of the scent of flora, and the cave was filled with extremely strong wood attribute.

The next moment, the wood attribute spirit tumbling all around madly gathered in his body before he could make a gesture.

In an instant, Liu Ming felt that all the meridians in his body were immediately occupied by the extremely rich wood attribute spirit. The Spiritual Sea in his dantians began to spontaneously rotate subconsciously.
