It was getting late today, Lu Ming first found an inn to stay.
This inn is not small in scale, with many independent courtyards. The environment is quiet and privacy can be well protected.
Another advantage is that there is a practice room with plenty of energy.
It's just that the price is not low. Even for the lowest-end hotel, it costs 1,000 Low-grade Yuan Stone to stay there for a day.
Lu Ming still rented a building because he needed a quiet environment to practice.
Although he has been mostly on the road since he left home, Gang Qi has not stagnated. On the contrary, he has made rapid progress because he often fights.
It has reached the middle stage of the Early Gang Qi Realm.
Today's practice is not to break through to the middle stage, which is still far behind, but to break through in the technique.
[Divine Illumination True Scripture] There are fourteen levels in total. He has already reached the twelfth level. This time he will break through to the thirteenth level.
Although a breakthrough in the skill may not bring much accumulation of Gang Qi, it can speed up the process of refining Gang Qi.
In addition, the deeper the level of the skill, the greater the luck and the speed of Qi recovery.
Therefore, breakthroughs in the level of skills are not useless, and can also increase strength.
In the practice room, Lu Ming sat cross-legged. He did not practice immediately, but felt the constant influx of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy under the futon.
These vitality come from every tidal effect of the Wind Thunder Sea, and are led here through tunnels and formations.
Extremely thick.
After experiencing Lu Ming carefully, I realized that this energy is much purer than that in Low-grade Yuan Stone and is extremely easy to absorb.
It's true that it's expensive.
Then he officially started practicing.
As the skill slowly moved around, streams of vitality were drawn into his body, and he quickly fell into immersion.
On the other side, it's the same inn, but in another courtyard slightly farther away, where two people are talking.
If Lu Ming sees it, he can recognize it as Xiao Zan, the remnant of Demonic Cult, and Yan Long, the only remaining member of Dragon Tiger Twin Fiends.
It's just that I don't know why the two of them got together again after they joined forces last time.
Just listen to Xiao Zan:
"After such a long search, I can now confirm that your volume Animal Skin Map is the marked map of the location of a sunken ship."
"However, throughout the ages, there have been many shipwrecks in the Wind Thunder Sea. In addition to the well-known ones, there are also unknown ones. I just don't know which incident this map records and whether the things left in it are precious."
Yan Long said expressionlessly:
"The location is near Three Beasts Island. You will know if Zhenzhui has been there. And based on the map material, it is estimated that the shipwreck was not that short ago, so the chance of encountering precious things is greater."
"Same."
Xiao Zan nodded, then smiled:
"Don't always have a gloomy face. Sooner or later we will go back to the Zhao Kingdom to find that Lu Ming to avenge your brother."
Hearing this, Yan Long looked even more gloomy, "Not only that little beast, but also the whole Wuji Sect."
"Ahem..."
Xiao Zan choked when he heard this. He had been kicked out by the Wuji Sect so many times, and he never thought of taking revenge on the entire Wuji Sect. That would be seeking death.
The other party was a bit overestimating his abilities.
But he was still needed at the moment, so he didn't refute, he just said:
"Then I hope that this trip to the Wind Thunder Sea will yield some results, which will greatly enhance our strength."
While the two were talking, there was also a group of people staring at them from an elegant attic not far from the small courtyard.
The leader is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in red, whose realm is Mid Gang Qi Realm.
There are several Gang Qi Realm people behind him, the tallest one is an old man, Late Gang Qi Realm.
Just listen to him say, "Young Sect Master, I have inquired clearly. The remnants of Demonic Cult and Dragon Tiger Twin Fiends have been searching for Three Beasts Island recently, and they are probably going there."
"Three Beasts Island?"
The young man in red turned his gaze away from the courtyard and asked seriously, "Do you know the specific reason?"
"They also inquired about many shipwrecks, and they probably got a map of shipwreck markings." The old man continued.
"This is interesting."
The boy in red became interested.
The old man continued, "Young Sect Master, how about we capture these two people and torture them directly?"
The young man in red thought for a moment and shook his head, "No need, the two of them are not weak, and Three Beasts Island is located deep in the Wind Thunder Sea, where strong winds, thunderstorms, and sea beasts are rampant. It is better to leave them to explore the way."
The old man frowned slightly when he heard this, "Listen to Young Sect Master, do you want to follow them?"
The young man in red nodded, "To be valued so much by the two of them, I think you will gain a lot. And Ten Nations Prodigy Competition is coming soon. In order to come out on top, I have to make more preparations."
The old man hesitated, "But in the Wind Thunder Sea, even the strong ones in the Gang Yuan Realm can't guarantee their escape. I'm worried..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, "Don't worry, with our strength, as long as we don't encounter waterspouts and purple thunderstorms that are rare in hundreds of years, we will be fine."
Lu Ming doesn't know what's going on outside. Now he is constantly performing complex copying techniques with both hands, while his whole body is floating in the air with his legs crossed.
As he moved, wisps of pure vitality continued to circle around him, and a small amount penetrated into his body.
It wasn't until half an hour later that when his hands stopped, all the vitality poured into his body like a baby swallow returning to its nest.
Then his whole body was shaken, he slowly fell to the ground and opened his eyes.
"The thirteenth floor has finally been reached."
Lu Ming exhaled a breath of turbid air and showed a look of joy. Not only had he broken through the technique to the thirteenth level, Gang Qi had also accumulated it to the early and late stages.
It won't take long to reach the peak and then break through to the Mid Gang Qi Realm.
It has only been about five months since he broke through to the Gang Qi Realm, so his cultivation speed is extremely fast.
You must know that Guan Wuli is not weak in talent. He broke through to the Gang Qi Realm at the age of seventeen. It took almost three years before he broke through to the middle stage.
This also took advantage of the opportunities in the secret realm.
And he estimates that he can complete this process within a year.
Without thinking any more, after checking the cultivation situation again, Lu Ming went to rest directly.
There was nothing to say all night until the next morning, when he practiced a set of palm skills and several sets of sword skills before going out.
He is going to inquire about the map.
On the map, in addition to the red dots, there are three islands that resemble three beasts. With such characteristics, it is estimated that some information can be found.
First, go to major stores and look for the detailed map in the Wind Thunder Sea.
As a result, I found nothing for several hours until I found an old map in a bookstore. The shape of the island drawn on it was very similar to the one on the volume Animal Skin Map.
"Three Beasts Island, this is probably where it is."
After careful identification, Lu Ming was roughly confirmed. Then I took a dozen volumes of maps, wrapped the old map in them, and went to check out together.
"Young people plan to go deep into the Wind Thunder Sea?"
The bookstore owner is a strong middle-aged man, Early Gang Qi Realm. When he saw Lu Ming taking so many maps, he couldn't help but ask.
Lu Ming nodded, "I heard there are many sea beasts inside, and I plan to go in and experience it."
"That's it."
The bookstore owner wasn't too surprised. There were quite a few people going in to practice, so he quickly calculated the prices.
Lu Ming left directly after paying the yuan stone.
"Those maps include directions to Three Beasts Island. Recently, many people have come to inquire about it, including the elders of the Blood Kill Sect. I wonder if there is any connection between them?"
Watching Lu Ming disappear, the middle-aged man put his fingers on the table, thinking deeply.
Then he sighed and said, "Forget it, no matter what kind of contact there is, it's not something I, a humble Early Gang Qi Realm, can get involved in."
