Yuan Ming ordered Huazhi to capture a monster beast from nearby and conduct some experiments. He found that the "crow call" emitted by the soul crow can make the enemy's soul tremble, making his consciousness sluggish and his body stiff. It will take a period of time before he can recover.
In addition, in his previous training, he had also initially completed the first stage of the Dream Butterfly Illusion, "Mirror Flower". Now, by combining it with the Soul Crow, he can make the enemy fall into the illusion without anyone noticing.
This greatly extended the range of illusions that Yuan Ming could perform, which made him very excited.
Yuan Ming put away his soul and was thinking about trying other soul cultivation abilities when he suddenly found that the mark of "Stealing Heaven Cauldron" on his arm was a little warm.
With a thought in his mind, he summoned the Tianthiuding Ding. As soon as the Tianthiuding Ding appeared, Yuan Ming found that his connection with the Tianthiuding had deepened a lot.
There were faint traces of invisible power in the air coming from all directions, and they were all submerged into the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron.
"What is this?" Yuan Ming looked surprised.
Sensing this invisible force, I quickly discovered something.
This invisible force is similar to the divine consciousness, but it is a little different. With a serious look on his face, he took the Tiantian Cauldron in his hand and concentrated on trying to sense it. There was a soft buzzing sound inside the Tiantian Cauldron. A layer of golden runic restrictions appeared around the Tianding, but it blocked his consciousness and was unable to move forward at all.
When Yuan Ming was still in southern Xinjiang, he encountered this layer of golden restriction while trying to refine the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron. He was severely knocked away that time. The reaction of the golden restriction at this moment was far less intense than before.
He was secretly happy. It seemed that as Jiraiya's Ming Yue Jue improved, his connection with the Heaven Stealing Cauldron was also deepening. The resistance of this cauldron was getting weaker and weaker, and sooner or later it would be completely controlled by him.
Yuan Ming closed his eyes and sensed the gathering invisible power, and soon showed surprise again.
The contact between his spiritual consciousness and the gathered invisible force actually absorbed a little of it, which was quite useful.
"The invisible power of these worlds can absorb souls. It seems that it and the power of divine consciousness are indeed the same attribute. In the past, every time the soul encountered trauma, the heat flowing out of the incense burner should have been collected by the Tiantian Cauldron. The invisible power." Yuan Ming suddenly understood.
Unfortunately, there is a golden restriction around the Tiantian Cauldron. He cannot penetrate it enough to be able to mobilize this power. I am afraid there is still a long way to go.
Yuan Ming put down the Heaven Stealing Cauldron and recalled that Xiying told him the name of this cauldron. I wonder if she knew anything about this power?
He took out the communication talisman left by Xiying and wanted to send a message for questioning, but after thinking about it, he put it away.
He has been in seclusion in the cave for five years, concentrating on seclusion and absorption. Not only does he seldom contact the outside world, he rarely uses Heixiang and does not know where Xiying is now.
Then...he thought about his parents again at home, whom he hadn't seen for many years. He didn't know what he was going to do tonight...
He took out a piece of black incense and inserted it into the cauldron. He was about to possess his father to check the situation, but suddenly he felt that the black incense was also faintly lingering on it. It had the same invisible power as before, but it was a little thin.
"Is there such power in the incense?" Yuan Ming murmured, and after thinking about it, he took out the only remaining original black incense.
As expected, the original black incense also had that invisible power, and it was extremely rich and even gave him a sticky feeling.
Yuan Ming seemed to have thought of something, and took out the incense ash used for making incense, and found that there was indeed an invisible force shrouding it.
"That's it." Then Yuan Ming suddenly realized and laughed.
He has long suspected that the magical power possessed by black incense is some kind of special power in the incense ash. The more power there is, the better the effect of possession will be. Now it seems that it is indeed the case!
The power in the incense ashes is suspected to come from all living beings worshiping and making wishes. Yuan Ming decided to name the power "Wish Power"
His research on this wish power was still very superficial, and he couldn't figure out anything for a while, so he temporarily put down his thoughts, lit the black incense, and possessed his father to give it to him.
At this time, his father seemed to be sitting cross-legged in a quiet room practicing, and judging from the spiritual power running in his body, his cultivation was
Because he has advanced from the previous seventh level of Qi refining to the ninth level of Qi refining, he has entered the late stage of Qi refining.
Yuan Ming noticed this and immediately felt happy. If his father could add some more opportunities, it would not be impossible to advance to the foundation building stage.
But then he thought about it, his mother had no talent for cultivation, and now that he and his father had achieved immortality, how could he leave his mother alone with a short life?
He made up his mind in his mind that if there was a chance in the future, he would look for some longevity elixirs and send them to his mother.
My father was very attentive to his cultivation and was not in a hurry. He did not leave the quiet room until Yuan Ming's possession ended.
This also confirmed from the side that nothing major happened at home, which made Yuan Ming feel a little relieved.
After Yuan Ming's return, he originally planned to close his eyes and adjust his breath. King Kong has been practicing in the spirit beast bag recently and has eaten up all the copper skin pills he got from Liu Su. Now he can only use ordinary methods. Practice diligently.
As King Kong's spiritual wisdom gradually improved, his practice skills were recorded. Yuan Ming took a look at them and found that King Kong's practice skills were really unbelievable.
Yuan Ming had also collected some information about physical training before, and knew that the basic essence of physical training here in the Central Plains is to work from the outer sword inward, first to train the skin and flesh, then to train the muscles and bones, and finally the internal organs.
However, the physical training method that King Kong gave him started by directly tempering the internal organs, and the method was extremely rough. It was only suitable for monsters with extraordinary physical talents, and was impossible for ordinary monks to practice.
He had no choice but to put away the idea of physical training for the time being, originally planning to wait until he could find a formal physical training method later.
Suddenly, he took out a communication talisman from his arms, and the sound of breaking the talisman came from it. It was about the Lingxiang Shop. There was a customer who wanted to discuss a big business, and he wanted to negotiate with the boss by name. , he couldn't refuse.
Yuan Ming's Ming Yue Jue had just broken through and the soul power was not yet completely stable. He didn't want to end the retreat.
However, due to the overly optimistic predictions before, now that the Jingdan has been eaten up, there is no way to sit still and have nothing if the previous 100,000 spirit stones are consumed like this.
The higher the cultivation level, the more expensive the elixirs required. If Witte wants to cultivate at a high speed like before and break through to the late stage of foundation building, he will still need a large amount of spiritual stones. The big business of Lingxiang Shop cannot be given up.
As soon as he thought of this, he left Touhuazhi and Leiyu to guard the cave and left the cave towards Wangyue City.
I don’t know who the other party is this time. I have given Hu Tu full authority to handle the store affairs. Is there anything you have to discuss with me? Could it be someone with bad intentions?
Yuan Ming was originally quite surprised by this person's strong request to interview him, but now as he got closer to the shop, a series of thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, causing him to stop subconsciously.
After pondering for a while, he released a soul crow, escaped into the city's underground, and dived towards the Lingxiang Shop. After the Ming Yue Jue broke through the fourth level, the soul crow's physical transformation also improved, and now it can completely become insubstantial. Traveling underground.
Soon I arrived at Lingxiang Shop. There was no one in the outer hall, only Mu You was at the counter. The ghost crow sneaked into the inner hall from the ground, and half of its head popped up in a hidden corner.
In the inner hall, Hu Tu was conversing with an old man in gray robe. They seemed to be having a good conversation. He must be the guest who asked for an interview with him.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Yuan Ming's eyes suddenly shrank. The person who came was none other than Zuo Qinghui.
"Why did he come here!"
As a monk of Changchun Temple, Zuo Qinghui was still in the alchemy stage. Ever since they met at the Tianxiang auction, Yuan Ming had been highly vigilant about this person.
If they had just met by chance in Wangyue City, Zuo Qinghui would have given his name. But now that he was so secretive and offered to buy a large amount of spiritual incense, I'm afraid the person who came here was evil.
Yuan Ming thought for a while and immediately launched the flying shuttle back to the cave. He ordered Huazhi and Leiyu to leave the cave to be on guard.
He then took out the bronze thunder pattern array and arranged it around the cave, intertwined with the Five Elements Disillusionment Array. After doing this, Yuan Ming used the Hidden Element Technique to suppress his cultivation to the peak of the early stage of foundation building, returned to Wangyue City, and went straight into Lingxiang shop.
"A customer wants to customize spiritual incense? Senior Zuo?" Yuan Ming looked surprised.
"Ah, it's been a long time since we last saw you, Yuan Xiaoyou." Zuo Qinghui said with a chuckle.
Yuan Ming's expression was calm. It was no surprise that he used his real name in Wangyue City. Zuo Qinghui could tell if he was a little more obedient.
Hu Tu on the side was stunned when he heard Yuan Ming shouting the word "left front" in front of him.
He knew that Yuan Ming was already in the foundation-building stage. Could this guest be in the elixir-building stage? Thinking of this, Hu Tu hurriedly found a reason to leave.
"Senior Zuo, I had no choice but to challenge the former Imperial Master in the past. For the sake of Changchun Temple's reputation, I used a pseudonym and kept a low profile. Please don't blame me, senior." Yuan Ming quickly returned to his usual attitude of holding hands.
"It doesn't matter, that's all in the past. My little friend was very thoughtful and decisive in killing Pu Zhengqing, and he made a great contribution to the world of immortality in our Dajin. Few of the younger generation of disciples in my Dajin can match it." Zuo Qing A smile suddenly bloomed on Hui's face.
"Senior, that's a big reward."
Zuo Qinghui's words seemed to have other meanings, Yuan Ming thought about it secretly.
"Yuan Xiaoyou found that the Lingxiang shop in Xiaohu City was doing a good business. Why did it suddenly close down and come to Wangyue City to open it?" Zuo Qinghui looked around and asked.
"Spiritual incense is no better than elixirs, spiritual materials and other items. It is not necessary for monks. It is only bought by some rich people. In fact, the business in Xiaohu City is no longer easy to do. It is really difficult to continue to open it. You can’t make much money,” Yuan Ming said.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Yuan Xiaoyou not only has great strength, but also has a unique vision in business. It seems that I am not wrong about the person!" Zuo Qinghui laughed.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Yuan Ming was slightly startled and asked after hearing this.
"To be honest, I came here this time because I need to discuss something with you, Yuan Xiaoyou." Zuo Qinghui sat down on the chair next to him and waved his hand to open a soundproof barrier and said leisurely.
"Senior, please tell me if you have something to say!" Yuan Ming's heart gradually tightened when he saw Zuo Qinghui like this, but he still looked confused on his face.
"Refining spiritual incense is just a trivial matter. I came here to see you to bring up old matters again. Do you still remember the proposal five years ago?" Zuo Qinghui said with a more friendly smile.
