In the main hall of Hongling Cave Mansion, the nine guardians and the fifty guard captains were all surprised by Lu Ming's first order. This was tantamount to weakening the prestige of their own cave masters. Generally, even brothers are only the chief and deputy cave masters.
.
"Well, do you protectors have any objections?" Lu Ming said coldly.
The nine guardians below woke up from the surprise just now. "No objection, of course no objection. The cave master is really broad-minded. The subordinates are too late to be happy to have such a cave master, so how can they have any objection?" The eldest brother of the three Xuangui brothers.
Cuba smiled and flattered him.
Every one of the guardians said they had no objections. If they had any objections, it was nothing to do with their guardians. The system of chief and deputy cave masters was changed to the system of 'cave master, second cave master, and third cave master', which only weakened the prestige of the cave masters and undermined their protection.
But it had no impact.
"Third Cave Master, we know that Brother Xiaolong is the Second Cave Master, but we don't know who the Third Cave Master is?" Bloodthirsty said.
Lu Ming, however, did not answer directly at all: "You don't need to worry about who the three cave masters are for the time being. You will naturally know when the time comes. Does it mean that whoever I appoint as the three cave masters also needs the consent of all the protectors?"
Hearing the chill in Lu Ming's words, all the protectors shook their heads quickly and no one dared to say anything.
"Very good, then I will issue the second order." Lu Ming looked at the nine guardians below and said.
The nine guardians and the fifty guard captains began to secretly guess in their hearts. The first order was so shocking, what is the second order?
"From today on, the pursuit of Xiaohu and the immortal cultivator will be cancelled. Humph, what does Hong Ling and Mu Er Tai's hatred have to do with me? Do you protectors understand?" Lu Ming clearly expressed his feelings towards the previous cave master.
Disrespectful.
The nine guardians didn't mind at all after hearing this. No matter how powerful his fungus was, he was already dead and his soul was gone, so who would care about him?
The red spirit is dead, and the fungus is too dead. The hunting order for the little tiger and the immortal cultivator is naturally lifted. "My subordinates must strictly follow the cave master's orders. The immortal cultivator and the little tiger should also be grateful to the cave master for his broad mind."
Cuba, the eldest of the three brothers, flattered him again.
But Lu Ming didn't care, he sounded happy.
"The third order." Lu Ming's voice sounded again. The protectors and the captains of the guards all listened carefully. This is the first time Lu Ming has sat on the throne of the main hall, and the first time he has exercised the rights of the cave lord. These protectors are the first
Naturally, the performance of the second time is also very important.
"The last time I fought against that little tiger, I felt that his skills were not inferior to those of the bloodthirsty protector. Such a master should be invited to increase the strength of my Hongling Cave Mansion. The protectors passed down the order. If anyone finds any trace of the little tiger, please remind me.
"
Lu Ming was taking a precautionary measure. He first expressed his intention to win over Xiaohu in front of the nine guardians. Later, the nine guardians would not be too surprised if Xiaohu was attracted to him.
"Yes, follow the cave master's order." Each of the protectors immediately bowed. It was really funny. Some time ago, they were chasing the little tiger. Now, under the orders of the current cave master, it seems that the little tiger is likely to become an internal member of the Hongling Cave Mansion.
As a member, things in this world are indeed wonderful.
However, the nine guardians are not too surprised. After all, in the world of spiritual beasts, they were enemies some time ago, but they can become partners and friends in the blink of an eye.
"Very good. Finally, protectors, don't make any guesses. From today on, I will be in seclusion for a period of time. If you have anything, you can report it to the Second Cave Master. Okay. Everyone can leave." After Lu Ming finished speaking, he stood up and turned around.
After leaving, Xiaolong also left.
"Farewell to the cave master." The nine guardians bowed and said. It was not until Lu Ming left that these guardians began to talk to each other easily.
"The Cave Master is really mysterious, but I still can't see clearly the strength of the Cave Master. It's hard to say whether the Cave Master used all his strength when he fought against the Bloodthirsty Boss. Bloodthirsty Boss, what do you think?" Giant Scorpion smiled. Look towards Bloodthirsty.
Bloodthirsty said coolly: "Probably, no, I can't see his depth either!"
"Oh, bloodthirsty boss, what do you mean by should? Don't you have any feeling?" Xiao Qing said in a dissatisfied voice.
Bloodthirsty nodded and said: "When the cave master fought with me, he was too fast and far surpassed me. I was knocked out by him before I even had time to resist his attack, and I felt that his energy was very strong. And when it is condensed, there seems to be no extra energy left to do useless work.”
The expressions of the other guardians all changed. When a master launches a powerful attack, he usually makes a turbulent and powerful attack. This also shows that the power of the attack is in vain and does not fully attack the opponent. On the body.
"The cave master fought against the bloodthirsty boss without losing any energy?" Xiong Er said in shock.
Xiong Da nodded and said: "The cave master is really unfathomable."
This group of guardians marveled at Lu Ming's strength. However, they didn't know the characteristics of the Dragon Body Technique at all. After practicing to the realm of Dragon God Technique, the energy itself is condensed into a line, like a golden thread. When attacking, The skill is also concentrated on this golden thread, and there is almost no unnecessary waste.
"Everyone, just now the cave master said that he went into retreat. Alas, the previous cave master also often retreated into retreat. Now the cave master also often retreats into retreat. Really, does the cave master have to retreat often?" Xiao Hong said lazily.
The other guardians also nodded. On his first day as the cave master, Lu Ming went to retreat.
"Hmph, can't you tell anything from this?" Bloodthirsty said coldly.
The other eight guardians all looked at Bloodthirsty. "To maintain his position, the cave master must have the power to overpower everyone. Naturally, he has to keep his own power strong, so he often practices in seclusion. You only see the cave master's strength. , but I don’t see why the cave master is so tyrannical. If you are free, you may catch up with the cave master at any time. I am also ready to retreat and say goodbye."
After Bloodthirsty said this, he turned around and left the hall. Several other guardians were stunned by what he said, but what Bloodthirsty said really made sense, and it also touched the few guardians present.
…
On the way to the North District, Lu Ming and Xiaolong walked side by side.
"Xiaolong, after I retreat, I will leave all the affairs of Hongling Cave to you. Now the most important thing for us is to stabilize the internal situation. If the internal situation is unstable, there will be trouble once the people from Jiujiao Palace come over." Lu Ming's Spiritual Knowledge Sound transmission.
Xiaolong also agreed: "Brother, don't worry about this. The Red Spirit Territory is only so big and it is not difficult to stabilize it. But if you kill the meat dragon, his eight brothers will definitely not give up. Facing them, those mediocre hands will Forget it, what matters is the master."
"In this retreat, I should be able to reach the late stage of Dragon God Art. However, even so, after reaching the late stage of Dragon God Art, I can generally deal with the late-stage cultivators of Martial Lord. As for the late-stage fifth-grade Purple Evil Dragon, I really have no confidence. .”
After the Martial Emperor comes the Martial Lord, and after the Nascent Soul comes the Distracting God. This means that Lu Ming is equivalent to the one who looks like the Martial Emperor and the Nascent Soul stage, but is able to fight against the powerful monks of the Martial Lord and the later stage of the Distracting God!
Lu Ming knew very well that the Purple Evil Dragon was extremely talented. The late fifth-grade Purple Evil Dragon was comparable to the Martial Saint and the Mahayana cultivator! He really had no confidence in dealing with masters of that level unless he relied on the True Dragon Essence.
The blood and the true dragon's strange fire are fighting for their lives.
But fighting hard does not mean that you can fight hard. If the opponent smashes Lu Ming's head and destroys his soul, even the real dragon's fire and blood essence will be useless, or the opponent destroys Lu Ming's dantian.
That’s also incredible.
Therefore, you have to fight until you are forced to do so.
"The Purple Evil Dragon in the late fifth stage, well, according to my inheritance memory, it is very difficult to deal with." Xiaolong was helpless, "Even if you fight for serious injuries and enter a berserk state, fighting to the death at all costs, the chance of winning is only 50-50.
"
Lu Ming and Xiaolong talked for a long time, but finally felt that the Nine Dragon Palace was too powerful. However, Lu Ming and Xiaolong understood that with their current strength, they were enough to sweep through the other seven caves under the Nine Dragon Palace. After all, the Hongling Cave Palace at this moment,
With Lu Ming, Xiaolong and Xiaohu, their strength is far beyond that.
"Cave Master, Second Cave Master" the patrolling guard bowed immediately when he saw Lu Ming and Xiaolong.
"Haha, this order is transmitted so quickly. I just gave the order in the hall, and these guards knew to call you the second cave master." Lu Ming praised, in fact, the guard captains immediately sent spiritual messages to you as soon as they left the hall.
These subordinates.
Xiaolong's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Hey, Lord Long, I also have subordinates. Well, it's not bad that we don't have to train these boys too much."
When the patrolling guards heard Xiaolong's words, they couldn't help but feel shocked. The second cave master was training them? What would that be like? They had all heard how terrifying the second cave master was.
...North District of Hongling Cave, in the underground secret room group. Nearly half of the underground secret room group was destroyed due to the battle between Fungus Tai and Roulongdi. However, there were still many secret rooms that were still in good condition. Lu Ming had those broken into pieces.
Shi Nang went out, and he himself entered a secret room inside and started practicing again.
The roof of this secret room is round, the bottom is square, and in the center is a rectangular cushion made of soft grass from the sea, on which Lu Ming sat.
The flesh dragon Nascent Soul, which Lu Ming absorbed part of its energy, was one size smaller than before. At this moment, it flew in front of Lu Ming again. As a true fire enveloped the crystal core, Lu Ming started refining the flesh dragon's crystal core again.
.
Bundles of golden light emitted from Lu Ming's body, like the sun. The golden light enveloped Lu Ming's body, forming a nebula shape and constantly rotating. Purple crystal cores flowed out of purple liquid, and as the true dragon's strange fire was refined, then
It was continuously absorbed into Lu Ming's body and entered his Dantian.
In the dantian, the three golden particles surrounded by the true dragon's strange fire are constantly moving. If the trajectories of the three golden particles are drawn and completely merged together, they will be exactly in the shape of a sphere. The purple liquid is surrounded by the true dragon's strange fire.
Continuously burning, the impurities are completely burned away.
As time went by, the three golden particles gradually began to grow larger, and the golden threads in each ring of the True Dragon's Strange Fire also continued to grow larger and thicker, like countless thin threads floating in Lu Ming's Dantian...
Lu Ming practiced quietly, with the little dragon protecting him, and with Lu Ming's current status, no one dared to disturb him.
After three days.
"Crack!" There was a very clear sound. The three golden particles in the Dantian had become the size of a quail egg. At this moment, they split into three parts again and turned into nine golden particles. The nine golden particles still rotated according to the trajectory of the ball.
Countless golden threads also broke into two halves again, and their number doubled again.
Late stage of Dragon God Technique! Lu Ming finally reached the late stage of Dragon God Technique. However, half of the meat dragon crystal core was still not refined. Of course, Lu Ming would not waste it and continued to absorb and refine it. As time went by, about a day and a half
, Lu Ming finally completely absorbed the flesh dragon crystal core.
Lu Ming is still in the late stage of Dragon God Art. From the late stage of Dragon God Art to the early stage of the next level, it does require a lot of energy.
"Hoo ho ho!"
In the dantian, the nine golden 'magic pills' were constantly rotating. Due to the wonderful trajectory, the nine golden 'magic pills' had a mysterious reaction with each other. I saw that the center of the nine golden pills actually produced a light like an electric snake.
The electric snake is connected to the nine golden elixirs, but the rotation trajectory of the nine golden elixirs remains unchanged.
"When the nine elixirs merge into one, the elixir core will be formed, but I am still some distance away from the nine elixirs becoming one." Lu Ming opened his eyes and said to himself with a smile.
At the late stage of the Dragon God Art, the attraction between the nine elixirs has already formed. When the attraction reaches its peak, the nine elixirs will be completely absorbed. When the nine elixirs merge into one, Lu Ming can reach the next level and kill
Dragon Secret!
However, in the meantime, Lu Ming needs to survive the 'Six-nine Heavenly Tribulations' and reach the realm of Martial Master.
I don’t know whether it was because Lu Ming practiced the body refining art or because he swallowed crystal cores and other golden elixirs that modified spiritual power. He did not form a Nascent Soul like other modifications. When he broke through the Martial Emperor, there was no rain from the sky.
The calamity, and the Dantian has also undergone changes. I really don’t know what will happen!
"Now that I have killed one of the dragons in the Nine Dragon Palace, the other eight dragons will definitely come to investigate. The Hongling Cave is the closest to Canyun Continent, and it is not far from Luoxia Abyss. The Nine Dragon Palace is still there.
Eighty million miles south, even with the strength of the fifth-level Purple Evil Dragon, I estimate it would take a year."
Although there is still one year left, Lu Ming still feels that the time is too short. If he is given ten years, Lu Ming is confident that he can reach the early stage of Dragon Slaying Art. Once he reaches the early stage of Dragon Slaying Art, Lu Ming is sure to have a head-on confrontation with the Nine Dragon Palace.
However, at this moment, Lu Ming did not have the strength to confront someone head-on.
"Why don't they care about so many people? When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. Xiaolong, Xiaohu and I join forces. What are we afraid of?" Lu Ming no longer thought about the threat of the Nine Dragon Palace, but took out several items from his space ring.
thing.
A top-grade alchemy-level spear, an ancient sword, one of the Nine Ancient Swords, and a black jade box. Opening the jade box, there was a jade slip inside, and Lu Ming scanned it with his spiritual consciousness.
"Oh, there are nine keys to the Ancient Sword Immortal Palace. Listening to the description, this Ancient Sword Immortal Palace is amazing. My ancient sword seems to be the eighth key, but..." Lu Ming laughed, "Even if
They gathered together eight other ancient swords. Without mine, they wouldn't be able to open the Immortal Mansion."
Lu Ming saw this clearly at once. His power was weak, but if he didn't take out the ancient sword, it wouldn't be the case. Even if others gathered the other eight ancient swords, they probably wouldn't be able to open the Immortal Mansion. But Lu Ming
It is to be patient and wait until you are strong enough to compete head-on with the White Tiger Palace, Qinglong Palace, and Jiujiao Palace before taking out the ancient sword.
However, at this moment, Lu Ming didn't know how deep the relationship was between the brothers of the Nine Dragon Palace. How could they give Lu Ming time to be patient? How could they give Lu Ming time to increase his strength? The leader of the three brothers who came this time was the Qi Dragon.
A late-stage air dragon, an air dragon that even a small dragon can't fight against!
