Yuan Ming discovered something in Cui Wuran's memory. More than a year ago, he first met Cui Wuran in Shansha City. Cui Wuran invited him to do a mission together. He also wanted to lure him out and give it to the people of Guiyuan Sect, but he refused at the time. .
Cui Wuran's breakthrough in cultivation was due to the benefits he received from Guiyuan Sect.
The so-called grafting method is also one of the benefits given by those people. This is also the biggest reason for Cui Wuran to devote his life to Guiyuan Sect.
He has three spiritual roots, which is average in the world of cultivating immortals. Generally speaking, if there is no special chance, or the strong support of the sect family, it is already the limit to be able to practice to the foundation building stage, especially if you are a casual cultivator. It is extremely difficult and only by using the method of transplanting flowers and grafting trees can there be any hope of forming an elixir.
As for Manager Liao, although he was a close confidant of the Lord's Mansion in Shacheng City, he took part in it at all risks, but it was also due to the temptation of the magic method of grafting flowers and trees to form elixirs. Cui Wuran got his help, and he has succeeded frequently in the past two years.
"The temptation of forming pills is indeed great. If I were not a soul cultivator and did not have the secret technique of soul pills, I would probably have placed my hope in this method of grafting flowers and trees."
Yuan Ming secretly thought, turned his hand and took out the Soul-Destroying Sword and pointed it out. A blast of sword energy shattered the soul, and Cui Wuran's aura completely dissipated.
Yuan Ming came to the side of the tall and thin old man, put his palm on someone's head, used Soul Search again, and soon figured out the origin of the old man.
This man was originally a casual cultivator. After being captured by the Guiyuan Sect, he did not hesitate to betray a group of friends in exchange for freedom. In the end, he simply joined forces with him and started the business of kidnapping and trafficking cultivators.
The tall and thin old man has a closer relationship with this group of monks because he has stayed in Guiyuan Sect for a long time. There is a picture of those people's lair in his memory. It is a mine controlled by Guiyuan Sect. Any monks caught will be sent to the mine. Inside, I thought it was the Danjie monk who gave it to him. The Danjie monk was the ruler of that mine. He seemed to be using the captured monks to do many cruel and inhumane attempts. What impressed the tall and thin old man the most was that A monk in the alchemy stage transplanted some body parts of monster beasts into the monk's body.
Yuan Ming suddenly remembered the horn on the forehead of the one-horned man before.
The attempt of the monk in the alchemy stage was somewhat similar to Biluodong's hair-clothing technique. They both implanted the power of the monster into the monk's body, but based on the memory of the tall and thin old man, the body parts of the monster were directly transplanted into the monk. Inside the body, the risk is extremely high, and there is more than half a chance that the two forces of human and demon will clash, causing the implanted person to die violently.
Yuan Ming shook his head and continued to search for souls. His expression suddenly froze. In the memory of the tall and thin old man, a figure that he was quite familiar with appeared, but it was Ulu.
He was also working hard in that mine, working with the mining slaves.
Why is Uru here? Is it a new mission for his family or was he captured after being lured?
Yuan Ming secretly guessed.
With this person's scheming methods, he shouldn't be deceived, right? However, judging from the old man's memory, it doesn't seem like he was lurking. Besides, what is the purpose of lurking in a place like this? He had some doubts in his heart, and just as he was about to continue searching for souls and find the specific location of the mineral veins, the tall and thin old man's body suddenly trembled, his breath completely disappeared, and his soul slowly dissipated.
This person has been dying frequently, and now he can no longer hold on.
Yuan Ming's palm emitted a green light and he tried to save him, but unfortunately it was too late.
"I'm careless." He frowned and muttered to himself, turned to the red gold centipede, and raised his hand to wave.
A transparent soul crow flew out from the centipede's head. It was the second soul that he had painstakingly cultivated for more than a year. It had been hidden in Zuo Qinghui's body before.
The previous manipulations of the tall and thin old man and the red gold centipede were all done by this group of divided souls.
This split soul has been growing continuously for more than a year. Although its soul power is far inferior to Yuan Ming's main soul, it is not inferior to ordinary monks in the middle stage of foundation building.
The red gold centipede is a monster. Although its physical body is powerful, its soul is quite weak and cannot resist the control of the split soul.
As soon as the separated soul left, the red gold centipede's eyes quickly regained consciousness, and a vicious aura quickly revived.
Yuan Ming activated the soul-killing sword and pointed it towards the red gold centipede.
A black sword energy shot out, and it flashed into the red gold centipede's head. The red gold centipede's body trembled, and its soul completely collapsed.
Yuan Ming took out a large spirit beast bag, put the red gold centipede, the tall and thin old man, and the corpse of Cui Wuran into it, and then summoned the Qingyun Crane to rise into the sky and fly in one direction.
Although he did not find the location of the mineral vein from the tall and thin old man, he did find the route that the Guiyuan Sect monks took here. Most of the others would pass through here on their return trip.
If you follow those people, you can still find the location of the mineral veins.
After waiting for a while, the Guiyuan Sect group returned in a flying boat.
Ishikawa had been caught, his hands and feet were tightly tied, and he was thrown into the flying boat. His head and face were covered with blood, and he had obviously been severely repaired.
Guanshi Liao was also in the flying boat at the moment and was escaped by Yuerong. He could no longer return to Shacheng and could only join the Guiyuan Sect.
At this time, the cultivators of Guiyuan Sect all looked a little heavy. Although they captured Ishikawa and Manager Liao joined them, they lost the red gold centipede and there was no telling what the punishment would be if they went back.
At this moment, on the ground ahead, dust rumbled and it seemed like someone was fighting.
When everyone on the boat heard the words, their spiritual consciousness looked down.
In the dust, a black-skinned and short-haired Foundation Stage monk was fighting with two second-level sandworms. He had been seriously injured and was retreating while fighting. "Catch the ones alive, and make up for some of the losses!" The one-horned man said He nodded and ordered.
The two Guiyuan Sect monks flew down. Seeing this, the dark-skinned monk looked horrified and hurriedly sacrificed a flying magic weapon to escape. However, he was quickly caught up by two Guiyuan Sect monks and took them back to the flying boat.
The flying boat did not stop and continued to shoot forward.
The void behind a nearby sand dune fluctuated, and Yuan Ming's figure appeared. His eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
As for the dark-skinned monk, it was none other than Zuo Qinghui.
In order for him to change his appearance and breath, Yuan Ming spent a lot of effort.
He shaved off Zuo Qinghui's beard and hair, washed his whole body with a special potion, and temporarily turned his skin black. Then he used a blood-melting secret technique in Huoxue Gong combined with Zangyuan Technique to temporarily change Zuo Qinghui's body. Qinghui's magic aura finally succeeded in hiding it from the eyes and ears of the Guiyuan Sect monks.
The chains clattered loudly under Lieyou, and the hot shackles rubbed Zuo Qinghui's hands, leaving light red scratches.
He raised his hand without saying a word, hooked the ring around his neck with his fingers, and groped around, but found no gaps.
After the Guiyuan Sect monk captured him, he immediately put this ring on him. His magic power was instantly suppressed, and his cultivation level plummeted, finally stopping at the third level of Qi Refining.
However, the ring suppresses only mana and has no effect on the soul. As Yuan Ming's split soul, he can leave this body at any time and possess others if he wants.
However, he was deliberately captured with a purpose this time. At this time, he was just sitting there without making any big moves.
On the deck of the flying boat, in addition to him, there were more than a dozen prisoners wearing neck rings like him, and Ishikawa, whose head was covered with blood, was also among them.
These monks and prisoners were either frightened or angry. Due to the suppression of magical weapons, Zuo Qinghui could not see their specific cultivation levels. He could only guess their past strength from their different expressions.
In addition to these monk prisoners, there are also a large number of mortal prisoners on the flying boat. They are also wearing shackles and iron chains, but there are no collars on their necks.
Those responsible for guarding nearby were the group of Guiyuan Sect monks, and their number was much larger than what Yuan Ming had seen before. It should be that when others went out to arrest people, there were still people left on the flying boat to guard the prisoners. .
After Zuo Qinghui was captured, this group of people did not immediately control the flying boat to turn back. Instead, they walked and stopped on the road, and then went to other places to capture some monks and mortals.
Now nearly five years have passed since Zuo Qinghui was captured. Everyone on the boat also learned from the conversation between the Guiyuan Sect monks that the flying boat was already on its way home.
Although they don't know how long it will take to arrive, the prisoners on the flying boat know that when they get there, there will only be more guards than now, not less than now.
Therefore, due to the numerical advantage, even if their magic power is suppressed, the monks and prisoners who have long been accustomed to being aloof are naturally not willing to stay dormant. Many people want to seize the current opportunity and get rid of the constraints in one fell swoop.
However, the biggest obstacle between them and freedom is the collar around their necks.
This magical weapon is actually not very clever. Although it cannot use its own magic power after being suppressed, as long as there is external assistance and the mana of the foundation-building stage is used to impact the neck ring, it can be forcibly released. But now, the flying boat has the magic power of the foundation-building stage. The monks seemed to have only the guards who captured them, and freedom seemed out of reach.
But not necessarily.
Zuo Qinghui suddenly discovered that to his right, there was a bald man with a large tattoo on his forehead. The neck ring around his neck was a bit old, and the spiritual light on it went out from time to time, which caused his cultivation to recover instantly.
The bald man naturally noticed this. He sat silently in the crowd with his eyes closed, waiting for the opportunity to come. Beside him, several prisoners quietly moved to the strong man to help him. Blocking the guards' view.
They seemed to have found the key to escape, but when Zuo Qinghui accidentally looked at the nearby guards, he saw a meaningful and sly smile on their faces.
The next moment, an imperceptible "click" sound suddenly sounded. At this moment, the strong man opened his eyes suddenly, a trace of joy flashed on his face, and then he immediately reached out to help the people around him to lift the restrictions.
But at this moment, two rays of golden light suddenly flashed and fell directly on the bald man. They turned into two golden ropes and tied up the strong man's hands and feet.
Immediately afterwards, a guard wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect came over with a grin.
His right hand formed a sword finger, and he pointed it in the direction of the strong man. From behind him, a dagger-like magical weapon flew into the crowd and circled around the bald man several times, leaving dozens of bloody wounds. .
The strong man groaned, and blood flowed out from the wound. His whole body instantly turned into a bloody man, which made everyone around him feel shocked.
