In the past few months, the story of the fight between Yuan Ming and Bai Zhengxiong has slowly spread, and many cultivators from near and far have come here to make friends with Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming also accepted all comers, greatly expanded his network of contacts, and gradually integrated into the circle of the returning monks of the East Extreme Sea.
And in this process, Fairy Yunluo also contributed a lot.
As Yuan Ming's neighbor, she would come to visit almost every once in a while, and from time to time she would invite Yuan Ming to attend various trade fairs and talks. At first, Yuan Ming was very grateful for her enthusiastic help, but time passed.
As time went by, he would also get headaches.
As a witch of words, he also mastered the art of emotions and was most sensitive to a person's emotional changes. Every time he met and talked with Fairy Yunluo, her brilliant eyes and eloquent thoughts made Yuan Ming shine.
Carrying it on my back made me feel uncomfortable all over.
Therefore, when Fairy Yunluo visited again, Yuan Ming took the initiative to make it clear.
"Fellow Taoist Yunluo is from Zhongzhou Sunu Sect?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Haha, it's rare that Fellow Daoist Yuan is interested in my affairs. Yes, I do come from the Suv Sect, but I haven't had any contact with the sect for a long time." Fairy Yunluo chuckled.
"I heard that the Su Nu sect's exercises require the cooperation of a Taoist partner in order to be greatly improved, but I see that Taoist friends always live alone, why don't you find a Taoist partner to accompany you?" Yuan Ming asked tactfully.
"Haha, having said that, Fellow Taoist may think that Yun Luo thinks very highly of himself, but among the cultivators in the East Jihai, there are only a few who can catch my eye, and even rarer ones like Fellow Daoist Yuan. Since Fellow Taoist intends to mention this matter, why not
..." Fairy Yunluo's eyes suddenly filled with emotion.
Yuan Ming did not expect Fairy Yunluo to be so direct. He almost choked on his tea. He coughed twice and hurriedly interrupted: "Yuan Ming is grateful for Taoist friend Yunluo's kindness and help during this period. It's just that I have a Taoist companion with me."
, I can only decline Fellow Taoist Yunluo’s offer.”
"...If that's the case, why have I never seen my fellow Taoist companions these days?" Fairy Yunluo was stunned, then asked.
"She has now gone to Zhongzhou and is temporarily separated from me." Yuan Ming said truthfully.
"I, the female sect, have a secret method that can detect a man's Yuan Yang. As I see it, Yuan Daoyou is still a boy when he has perfect Yuan Yang. Even if you want to refuse, there is no need to make up such a lie that cannot withstand scrutiny." Yun said.
Fairy Luo's eyes changed and she said with a smile.
"What Yuan said is definitely not a lie, and I am a casual cultivator. How can I be worthy of fellow Taoist Yun Luo who comes from a famous family?" Yuan Ming shook his head and continued.
"You and I are both returning to the void, so there is no difference between a well-known casual cultivator. What's more, my Taoist friend is extremely powerful and is a fifth-level formation master. If you want to start a sect and become an ancestor, it won't take long for you to become a prince." Yun Luo.
The fairy smiled and had no intention of shrinking back.
"In short, Yuan really cannot accept Taoist Fellow Yunluo's wishes. During this period of time, I have also been neglecting my practice and am considering retreat. After today, I won't see fellow Taoist for a long time. Fellow Taoist, please help yourself."
Yuan Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took the initiative to end the topic and served tea to see the guests off.
"Since Yuan Daoyou is busy, I won't bother you too much. I'll be your guest again after you get out of seclusion." Fairy Yunluo didn't care, and said with a smile before leaving.
Yuan Ming smiled bitterly and made up his mind that even if he got out of seclusion, he would not let Fairy Yunluo know about it again.
The formation of the island protection formation has been completed, and the teachings of Sikong Zhan and others are on the right track. Yuan Ming took out the "Hunyuan Zhen Gong" and began to comprehend it.
With his current understanding, it didn't take him too long to master this technique.
As he performed his kung fu according to the law, the seven kinds of mana in his body were aroused and gathered in his Dantian. They slowly circulated and soon formed a whirlpool that swirled endlessly.
Time passed quickly, and half a day passed quickly. Everything in the Dantian was calm, and the mana chaos that occurred when the Nine Yuan Jue was being used did not appear. The seven mana powers rotated independently, and everything was peaceful.
When Yuan Ming saw that his hanging heart finally fell to the ground, he immediately accelerated the speed of the vortex in the mixed hole, attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Wave after wave of spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered together and couldn't wait to merge into his body. The speed at which the spiritual energy gathered was more than twice as fast as when the Nine Yuan Jue was used before.
Yuan Ming was secretly happy, but his physical body was powerful, and the current speed of the mixed hole vortex had not reached the limit that his physical body could bear.
With this in mind, he accelerated the operation of "Hunyuan Zhen Gong", and the majestic spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered, quickly reaching five times the amount just now.
He felt a faint tingling all over his body, obviously reaching his limit.
"This cultivation speed is almost ten times that of ordinary return-to-empty cultivators, but it's not enough, I have to go faster!" Yuan Ming's heart was full of pride, and he activated the immortal tree in his dantian.
His skin turned black, his hands and feet turned into thick tree trunks, and his body soon turned into a tall immortal tree.
After transforming into the form of an immortal tree, the strength of his physical body increased again, and he also possessed powerful recovery power.
Yuan Ming sped up the speed of the mixed hole vortex, and the speed of attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth reached fifteen times that of ordinary returning monks.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was so rich that it was almost liquefied, filled his whole body. After the circulation of his meridians, it merged into the vortex of his Dantian, and his magic power increased rapidly.
Yuan Ming felt joyful in his heart. "Hunyuan Zhen Gong" was simply tailor-made for him. This feeling of rapid surge in mana was so wonderful.
"It is not a good thing for your mana to surge too fast. Don't forget that the "Hunyuan Zhen Gong" itself will cause the mana to be unstable. If you improve your cultivation so quickly, it will be even more difficult to break through the middle stage of returning to the virtual world in the future." Qiye said.
The voice suddenly sounded, reminding.
"I know, but it shouldn't be a big problem to break through the middle stage of returning to void." Yuan Ming chuckled and said in a brisk tone.
"Oh, do you have any idea?" Qiye asked curiously.
"I'm going to use this." Yuan Ming nodded and took out a white jade bottle, which was the bottle that stored the Sanguang Divine Water.
The three-light divine water has the effect of refining the body, but when Huazhi used it before, he unexpectedly discovered that the three-light divine water not only can refining the physical body, but also has a certain refining effect on mana.
By trying to use up this bottle of three-light divine water, he should be able to greatly refine his magic power, and break through to the middle stage of returning to void will not be a problem.
"Three Light Divine Water does have some effects, but you only have so much. What will you do if you break through the late stage of returning to void, or even advance to the stage of Dharma Phase?" Qiye asked.
"We will talk about the future matters later. The resources of the overseas immortal world are so abundant, there must be treasures with similar effects to the Three Light Divine Water." Yuan Ming did not panic.
"That's right." Qiye said without saying more.
Yuan Ming put away the bottle and continued practicing, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
Previously, he was only testing the training effect of "Hunyuan True Skill" and did not pay attention to the Immortal Tree. Just now he calmed down and found that when he was practicing, the demonic power of the Immortal Tree was actually operating in the same way as "Hunyuan True Skill", quickly swallowing up the world.
Aura, enhances demonic power.
"This Immortal Tree has been cultivating based on instinct, and now it has changed its cultivation method. It seems that this "Hunyuan True Skill" is really not simple." Yuan Ming thought to himself.
The spiritual energy of the world on Spirit Ape Island is rich, and there is also a spirit-gathering tree that gathers spiritual energy, not least the immortal tree. He didn't pay much attention to it and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
Yuan Ming's main soul flew out of the cave and practiced the Dark Moon Technique. As for the first soul, as before, it controlled the power of qi and blood in the body, ran the Demonic Elephant Prison Suppression Skill, and absorbed the power of the sun in the void.
…
Time flies so fast, spring turns to winter in a blink of an eye, and sixty years pass by in a blink of an eye.
At Yuan Ming's retreat, a huge immortal tree was entrenched in the cave. Its size had grown several times compared to before. The crown of the tree almost reached the stone roof of the cave, and the hanging vines were woven into a thick carpet, covering the entire cave.
Every corner of the cave.
The demonic power emanating from the immortal tree has suddenly reached the mid-level fifth level. The aura is so thick and surging that no one dares to underestimate it.
At this moment, the immortal tree suddenly changed, its branches and leaves shrunk rapidly, and it almost took a breath to reappear Yuan Ming's figure.
Today, Yuan Ming's own magic power has successfully broken through to the middle stage of returning to virtual reality.
It was extremely difficult to break through the bottleneck of cultivating the "Hunyuan True Skill". He tried his best and used up a bottle of three-light divine water before barely succeeding.
In these sixty years, Yuan Ming has not relaxed his spiritual and physical cultivation.
The power of his soul finally took another step forward, entering the middle stage of witchcraft, but his physical cultivation was slightly behind. Although there was progress, he was still in the early stage of the body of all things.
To be able to make such progress in just sixty years would have made other Void-Returning monks excited, but at this time, there was little smile on Yuan Ming's face.
He raised his hand to call out the Heaven Stealing Cauldron and counted the number of Wish Power Pills in it.
No more, no less, only forty pieces.
More than half of the hundred-year period has passed, and the number of Hope Lidan is far from insufficient.
Yuan Ming sighed, straightened up his appearance a little, and then left the retreat cave.
A moment later, Yuan Ming summoned Sikong Zhan and others on Spirit Ape Island and heard their reports.
"The mortals and monks on Spirit Ape Island have now surrendered to the Mingyue Sect and pray regularly every day. Seventy percent of the mortals and low-level monks on the nearby islands have also worshiped the Mingyue God..." Sikong Zhan said respectfully.
The East Ji Sea has a huge area, and the distance between islands is long. Almost all islands with spiritual veins are occupied by monks and are under the rule of Dongji Palace. No matter how hard Sikong Zhan works to develop the Ming Yue Sect, he must abide by Dongji.
The rules set by the palace can only be done step by step.
In sixty years, he has managed the Ming Yue Sect to its current scale, which is a sign of his great dedication.
But for Yuan Ming, these achievements are only a drop in the bucket.
Yuan Ming hid his disappointment and first praised Sikong Zhan, gave him many rewards, and pointed out some of his confusions in cultivation. Then he encouraged him a few words, asking him to let go and speed up the development of followers.
Sikong Zhan was naturally overjoyed and thanked him, and said he would redouble his efforts to further expand the number of followers of the Ming Yue Sect.
