However, Yuan Ming had no intention of paying attention to Luo Wanshan. He just said to Bishuirou: "Let Island Master Liu go back alive first. If he dies here now, things will not be easy to deal with later."
Bi Shuirou's eyes also flashed with surprise, and she nodded hesitantly.
"Then I'll trouble Island Master Luo and take Island Master Liu back with you. You have to be careful on the way." Yuan Ming turned to look at Luo Wanshan and said with a smile.
When Luo Wanshan heard this, his liver and gallbladder were about to burst. He quickly responded and left in a hurry with "Master Liu".
"Tomorrow, Fellow Daoist Bishui, I will ask 'Island Master Liu' to hand over the affairs of Liulan Island to the deputy island owner, and he will claim to travel to the outer sea. For the rest, just ask Luo Wanshan to cooperate with you."
Yuan Ming warned.
With his current level of cultivation, it is no problem for the soul crow to control the corpse, but the corpse will eventually decay over time, so it must be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan's great kindness is hard to repay. Please accept my obeisance." Seeing how thoughtful he was, Bishuirou knew that if she didn't have Friend Yuan in front of her this time, she would definitely suffer disaster, so she quickly bowed down and paid homage.
If Daoist Yuan hadn't been accompanied by Daoist Xi Ying, she would have said all the words she promised her.
"You are Xiying's friend, and you are my friend. There is no need to be so polite between friends." Yuan Ming smiled and waved his hand.
Xiying, who had been standing aside without saying much, had a slight smile on his lips.
After Bishuirou also left, Xiying suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked: "Fellow Taoist Yuan, you have put all your thought into this for fellow Taoist Bishui, you are really very thoughtful!"
"It's just so that we can get the fairy fruit smoothly." Yuan Ming was startled when he heard this, and vaguely felt that this did not sound like he was praising himself, so he said quickly.
Xiying didn't look angry. She snorted, turned around and left, returning to her room.
Yuan Ming touched his nose, shook his head, and walked back to the house.
After closing the door, he took out the fragment of "Jin Kui's Art of Controlling Beasts" again and looked at it carefully.
About half an hour later, Yuan Ming put away the remaining pages of the book again and began to close his eyes and concentrate, contemplating the subtlety of this technique in his mind.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand to pat the spirit beast bag on his waist.
In a flash of lightning, Leiyu's figure appeared in the house and landed at Yuan Ming's feet.
Yuan Ming connected with it and immediately informed it with his spiritual thoughts that he wanted to practice the secret art of fusion with it.
When Lei Yu learned this, he was extremely happy and flew down on Yuan Ming's shoulder in cooperation.
Yuan Ming smiled knowingly, held the Heaven Stealing Cauldron in his arms, and immediately began to activate his magic power according to the content recorded in "The Art of Controlling the Beasts of the Golden Sunflower".
The soul-melting secret technique can usually only be performed between the owner and the spirit beast. The higher the tacit understanding between the two, the higher the success rate of performing the soul-melting secret technique.
Yuan Ming has taken care of Leiyu since he was a child. They have a close understanding and a tacit understanding. With the help of the huge willpower in the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron, Yuan Ming can practice extremely fast.
After just two attempts, Yuan Ming quickly transferred his magic power into Lei Yu's body, building a bridge of communication between them.
Then, Yuan Ming let the thunderstorm fly away from his shoulders and put some distance between them.
As a result, the connection between them was not broken, and the bridge still existed.
When Yuan Ming saw this, he was overjoyed and immediately began to formally merge spirits, trying to introduce the demonic power in Leiyu's body into his body.
When he first tried it, Lei Yu felt that the demonic power in his body suddenly surged out. He was a little panicked for a moment, flapped his wings uneasily, and walked back and forth in the room.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Yuan Ming saw this and quickly comforted him, which made him feel relieved.
After a few breaths, the feeling of demonic power flowing out quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a strange feeling that the blood and meridians of one person and one beast were connected to each other, as if they were one body.
However, the spiritual thoughts of Yuan Ming and Lei Yu still exist independently and have not been integrated into one, otherwise they would have the illusion that they are truly integrated into each other.
Soon, Yuan Ming was surprised to find that after fusing the spirit, his magic power became stronger and stronger, and it was actually equivalent to the level of the middle stage of pill formation.
He could feel that with just a thought of his own, their fused mana and demonic power could flow freely through his and Lei Yu's bodies like running water, becoming one unified body.
"Let's go out and try." Yuan Ming smiled and patted Lei Yu on the back, and each of them quickly left the yard.
Not long after, the two figures appeared on the sea outside the island.
On the dark sea, the waves rolled, and the moonlight reflected on the water surface, stirring up the sparkling waves.
Yuan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made magic tricks with his hands, leading the thunderstorm into the fantasy space.
He stood on Leiyu's back, stretched out his arms forward, and spread his fingers.
The next moment, a golden electric light suddenly lit up in his eyes, and a thick golden thunder branched out into dozens of electric lights, like weaving a golden light grid, covering the front.
The golden arcs in the void covered by the power grid beat violently and collided with each other, making bursts of thunderous sounds.
Its form is different from the lightning strike magical power displayed by Leiyu, but its power is even better.
"Fusing your demonic power with my magic power, the attack range and effect have been greatly enhanced." Yuan Ming said happily.
Thunderstorm roared happily.
Then, Yuan Ming raised his palm and raised it high into the sky. Layers of dark clouds immediately gathered together and formed a huge black thundercloud, like a rolling curtain of the sky.
After trying these two magical powers, Yuan Ming was very satisfied, and then tried flying again.
When he mobilized the power of thunder and lightning to try to fly, a wing-shaped thunder pattern appeared on both arms at the same time. Then his whole body was enveloped by the power of thunder and lightning, and a distance of a hundred feet was passed in an instant.
Suddenly, a figure wrapped in an electric arc appeared above the sea in the distance, and then disappeared nearby, erratic and ghostly.
When he stopped, the wing-shaped thunder marks on his arms disappeared.
"Sure enough, with the spirit-melting method of Jinkui's Beast Control Technique, I can also use the magical powers of spiritual beasts." Yuan Ming was extremely happy.
Then, he called Hua Zhi and Three-Eyed Black Dove out and informed them about the soul-melting incident.
As a disciple of Yuan Ming, Three-Eyed Wujiu naturally had no objections, while Huazhi reacted even more enthusiastically and expressed his desire to try it first.
Yuan Ming completed the soul fusion with the two one after another.
He was very satisfied with the results of the experiment. The realm of these two guys was higher than that of Lei Yu. After Yuan Ming merged with them, his mana increased even more obviously, almost equivalent to the level in the later stage of pill formation.
Yuan Ming praised each of the three guys a few words, comforted them, and then took them back together with Lei Yu.
Afterwards, he was relieved of the illusion and returned to his residence with satisfaction.
…
In the early morning of the next day, the third round of selection began.
Among the remaining sixteen groups of islands, one promotion spot will be determined in turn, so today's competition is obviously more intense than the previous two days.
Excluding the groups of the four second-class islands, the contestants sent by the other first-class islands were almost all of them, and they were all late-stage pill-forming monks.
I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional, but the first four games of today’s competition are all competitions between second-class islands. The four winning islands in the last competition, Hanjing Island, Wuyun Island, Blood Swallow Island and Golden Lotus Island, are still the winners in this competition.
the winner.
And in the next dozen or so competitions, the first-class islands won with an overwhelming advantage.
At a quarter of the afternoon, it was finally the last match, between Yehuo Island and Hongzhi Island.
The stunning performance of Hongzhi Island before made the onlookers from many islands have some expectations for this competition.
In previous competitions, there has never been a situation where a second-class island can challenge a first-class island. Therefore, except for the monks on Luoshan Island and Liulan Island, almost all the second-class island monks are secretly looking forward to the sudden rise of the Red Army.
Shibashima can make history in this conference.
They are unable to resist the unfair competition system, but it does not mean that they do not have resentments about it.
Most of the first-class island monks have nothing to do with themselves and at the same time, although they know that the possibility is unlikely, they still have a vague expectation to see the joke of Yehuo Island.
These complicated thoughts quietly changed everyone's psychological expectations, and a strange scene occurred. Most people in the entire venue actually hoped that Hongzhi Island would win.
When Xu Fu announced the start of the competition, Yuan Ming took the lead and landed on the martial arts stage.
After waiting for a while, the contestant from Yehuo Island arrived belatedly and arrived on the martial arts stage. As he arrived, the crowd of spectators couldn't help but burst into low cheers.
"It's him. He was actually sent by Yehuo Island."
"Cui Yu, Yehuo Island actually asked Cui Yu to take action. It seems that there is no suspense in this competition..."
"Tsk tsk, Yehuo Island is obviously afraid of losing, so it actually sent Cui Yu?"
…
All kinds of noises sounded one after another.
On the stone platform in the square, many of the people in charge of the first-class islands also showed expressions of surprise.
The person in charge of Hongyu Island looked surprised, looked at Yan Xiang, and asked: "I remember, didn't Cui Yu's nephew go into seclusion a month ago to attack the Nascent Soul Realm? Why did he come out to participate in the competition at this time?"
"His talent is dull and he has not yet succeeded in breaking through, so he took the initiative to participate in the competition to see if he could find an opportunity to break through in actual combat." Yan Xiang replied in an unhurried tone without squinting.
When everyone heard this, they all felt contempt in their hearts.
Who doesn’t know that Cui Yunai is the direct disciple of the Lord of Yehuo Island and has excellent cultivation qualifications. He has reached the peak of elixir formation before he is two hundred years old. He is the most likely person on Yehuo Island to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before he is two hundred years old.
of monks.
He is said to have a dull talent, and only a fool would believe this high-sounding nonsense.
Besides, when it comes to breaking into the realm of Nascent Soul, how can you know if you can break it by retreating for a month? It usually takes a year and a half, or even three to five years, is common.
Yanxiang must have seen the weirdness of Hongzhi Island's competition this time and was afraid of any accidents, so he called Cui Yu out of seclusion and temporarily participated in this competition to ensure that nothing went wrong.
