"Listening to your description, even half of the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King" is already a treasure. With this item, my status in the Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce will be greatly improved." Xiying said with a smile.
"Do you want to hand this thing over to Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce?" Yuan Ming asked, his tone lowered.
"Of course not. You have grudges with the Dongji Palace and Luojia Mountain sects over there, and you just made such a big fuss. It's too eye-catching to take out this half of the secret book. I only need to pick out
A few lost prescriptions, claiming to be hard-earned from elsewhere, are enough to make meritorious service in the Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce." Xiying shook her head and said.
"That's fine, you just have to deal with it." Yuan Ming said, using his skills to shoot out a stream of soul power into Xiying's sea of consciousness. This soul power turned into a black vortex, spinning rapidly.
Soon, countless words as thin as mosquitoes and flies flew out from the black vortex, which was the first half of the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King".
"Your reincarnation of life and death has become more and more sophisticated, and you can even refine your own memories." Xiying's soul revealed a soul power and swept away all these words.
A layer of flickering crystal light appeared on her soul, and it seemed as if countless thoughts were spinning, and she regained her calmness after a few breaths.
"My little tricks are of no use. I'm just familiar with it, but you, on the other hand, comprehended half of the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King" in just a few breaths. How come your understanding has increased so much?" Yuan Ming asked.
"It's nothing, I recently performed a second enlightenment on the soul." Xiying said.
"What! Did you use the secret technique of opening wisdom on yourself again? This is too dangerous, you don't want to die!" Yuan Ming's voice changed and he asked angrily.
This secret technique of opening wisdom was exactly what Xi Ying had previously practiced to transform the soul and improve his understanding. Xi Ying had always kept it a secret. In the past few years, Yuan Ming had repeatedly asked about it and even secretly possessed Xi Ying to investigate. Only then did Xi Ying tell the truth.
The effect of the Secret Technique of Opening Wisdom is astonishing. Each time it is used, the understanding can be greatly improved. However, the Secret Technique of Opening Wisdom is extremely dangerous. Every time it is used, the soul will experience torture like a thousand cuts. If you are not careful, the soul will collapse.
, the soul is scattered.
Moreover, the risk of opening wisdom twice is far greater than opening it once.
For a normal monk with enough soul power, the success rate of opening wisdom once is almost 30%, the success rate of opening wisdom twice is less than 10%, and the success rate of opening wisdom three times is even lower.
Of course, high risks also bring high rewards. The more times you open your mind, the stronger your understanding of the soul will be.
"Don't worry, you also know that I am not an impulsive person. If I am not completely sure, I will not become wise again." Xiying said with a smile.
"No, you have been an impulsive person since I met you." Yuan Ming retorted, still angry. Xiying's smile froze, she glared at Yuan Ming, and continued to lower her head to flip through the book, ignoring Yuan Ming.
"Okay, that's the end of the matter, but you can't perform Wisdom Enlightenment three more times." The black incense possession time is limited, Yuan Ming sighed and said.
"Okay." Xiying raised his head and smiled again on his face.
"What's going on with you at Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce now?" Yuan Ming sighed again and asked.
"I just became the external executive elder of the Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce last month, and I am currently leading a caravan to do business in the Xuejing Kingdom in the northeast of Zhongzhou. If this business can be successfully completed, I will have the opportunity to be promoted to the internal affairs elder," Xiying said.
.
"I was promoted very quickly, which is great." Yuan Ming looked happy.
Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce is the super chamber of commerce in Zhongzhou Continent. Although it is not as good as Wanhuo Xianxing, which has opened stores all over the Izumo Realm, it is still ranked second or third. The internal affairs elders of Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce have a high status.
"By the way, I just got some clues about the Agni Fire Yuan Stone you asked me to help find earlier. However, I can't confirm the authenticity of the other party's information yet. I will tell you after it is confirmed. As for the Wu Tu Yuan Stone, the Abyss Ming
There is no news about Shi He and Wen Qing Xin Yu yet," Xi Ying said.
"There's no need to worry about this, just look for it slowly." Yuan Ming replied.
"After the matter with Xue Jingguo is settled, I will lead the caravan to the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains." Xiying said suddenly.
"The Ten Thousand Demon Mountains... What are you doing there? Buying supplies?" Yuan Ming asked in a daze.
"This is one reason, but the more important thing is that a rumor has recently appeared in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains. It is said that there is news of the emergence of sky fire there. I want to try my luck." Xiying said.
"Sky Fire! Do you know what kind of Sky Fire it is?" Yuan Ming's soul power suddenly fluctuated and he asked immediately.
"I don't know, this news is just a rumor right now." Xiying shook his head.
"Although it's just a rumor, Sky Fire is so precious. Not only your Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce, but also the top sects in Zhongzhou Continent will probably send people there to have a look. You must pay attention to your safety." Yuan Ming said after a moment of silence.
.
"You don't have to worry too much. Although I have been busy with the Chamber of Commerce these years, I have not delayed my cultivation. I have improved my cultivation. I have reached the middle stage of returning to the void. With the big tree of Tianpeng Chamber of Commerce as my back, I won't be able to do it easily.
What danger?" Xiying said.
"That's good. Uru is in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains. If you go there, you can contact him to help you." Yuan Ming said.
"I can handle these things, but you, this time you possess Guoguo, you want more than just the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King" to me, right? If you have anything to say, just tell me, the time is almost up." Xiying put down the book in his hand,
Said lightly.
"Can you guess this?" Yuan Ming felt speechless.
"The secret technique of Kaihui will transform the soul, and it will not only improve the understanding." Xiying said lightly.
"There is indeed something." Yuan Ming briefly explained the large number of believers who moved into Shura Palace, and how he was worried about how to manage them.
Xiying smiled slightly and said: "It's simple. Mortals are ignorant and basically live passively. They don't think too much. Just set a clear goal for them and most people will follow it obediently."
"You can refer to the national system of the mortal world of Yunhuang Continent and integrate those mortals to form a country. As long as you take care of the leaders, those mortals will not cause big troubles."
"As for those cultivators, since you have already established the name of Ming Yue Sect, you simply formed a sect with them. The sect system is very popular in the Izumo world. It is not unreasonable. Especially when it is used to manage monks, it has a very good effect.
, you only need to set up the hierarchy and the methods of rewards and punishments. With the resources at hand, it is not difficult to manage those practices..."
Xiying talked eloquently and soon completely dispelled Yuan Ming's worries.
"I see. I knew this before asking you. You're right." Yuan Ming said with a smile.
He asked for some more details, and it was time for the black incense to possess him.
"Xiying is already in the middle stage of returning to the void. I have to speed up my cultivation. Only by advancing to the Dharma Phase stage as soon as possible can I be less passive when meeting people like Mao Yi." Yuan Ming's consciousness returned to his body and he frowned slightly.
Wrinkled, he began to think about his next training plan.
Now he no longer uses the Shura Blood-devouring Chart and Wish Power to help him, and his progress in both soul and body cultivation has slowed down. Only Dharma cultivation can show off his talents.
With the speed of Hunyuan Zhenqi training and the Jade Liquid Pill and Shenyuan Pill in his hand, he will soon be able to break through the late stage of returning to the void, and reaching the peak is just around the corner.
Now we have to get the other half of "The Secret Book of the Alchemy King" from Fairy Yunluo first.
The recipe for Dharma-Xiang Dan that he was thinking about most was probably in that half of the secret book.
Yuan Ming smiled slightly. It might be difficult for others to find Fairy Yunluo, but it was easy for him to do it.
He put away the Heaven Stealing Cauldron and closed his eyes to practice.
Seven days passed by in a flash.
Yuan Ming took out the Heaven Stealing Cauldron again, lit the black incense, and chose to possess Fairy Yunluo.
As the darkness in front of him gradually brightened, he slowly opened his eyes, but could not see anything. He only felt waves of indescribable severe pain coming from all over his body.
Yuan Ming struggled subconsciously, and soon there was a series of clashing sounds of chains, and the severe pain that spread all over his body immediately hit him like a tide again.
Yuan Ming tried his best to open his eyes that were covered with blood scabs. In his blurred vision, he saw a dark cave prison with dim bonfires lit around it and the sound of dripping water in the distance.
He turned his head to look with difficulty, only to find that Fairy Yunluo's hands were pierced by black iron nails, and were pulled by two iron chains as thick as an arm, dragging her body and hanging on a hanger.
There were scars all over her body, and her feet were also penetrated by black nails. An octagonal stone platform hung below, with dense and complicated runes carved on it.
Yuan Ming's spiritual consciousness briefly sensed it, and he discovered that Fairy Yunluo's magic power had been completely blocked, all the magic weapons stored on her body were gone, and there were only scars all over her body that were as deep as the bones.
He felt a chill in his heart. Fairy Yunluo had not been able to escape her origins after all, but she didn't know whether she was caught by one of the Dongji Palace's families.
While he was thinking about it, the sound of a whip was heard, which was particularly clear in the empty cave prison. Yuan Ming's body trembled subconsciously, as if it had muscle memory.
He raised his heavy eyelids and looked around.
As footsteps sounded, a tall woman in a purple skirt was holding a blood-stained fiery red whip. Behind this woman stood two women who were also wearing long skirts. The style was exactly the same, but the color was pure.
white.
The leading lady in the purple skirt is quite beautiful, with a white fox face and a pair of slender eyes. Her whole body exudes a seductive and charming aura, as if a fox has taken the form of a fox.
"Haha, Junior Sister Yunluo, you have already rested for a cup of tea. Senior Sister will continue to whip you." The woman raised her hand and hooked Fairy Yunluo's chin, smiling frivolously.
Hearing this title, Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel surprised. The person who arrested, imprisoned, and tortured Fairy Yunluo turned out to be a member of the vegetarian sect.
why is that?
Could it be that what Fairy Yunluo said before about being ordered to go to the East Extreme Sea to lurk and wait for an opportunity to find the tomb of Emperor Yan was all false?
Or maybe after she obtained half of the "Secret Book of the Alchemy King", she planned to swallow it secretly, which led to punishment from the sect?
