Yuan Ming said goodbye to the waiter and disappeared from the place in a flash.
The next moment, he left the Extreme Fire Realm and Shura Palace directly, and appeared on Leiyu's back.
At this time, the thunderstorm was still fluttering on the calm sea, and everything around them was retreating rapidly, but Yuan Ming knew that they had not yet left the scope of the abyss.
The abyss is too big, and they went too deep in search of level six monsters before. Now if they want to leave, they will naturally need more time.
Of course, with previous experience, thunderstorms have been able to avoid some of the risks here and will not be entangled.
Fairy Yunluo sat quietly on Leiyu's neck, silently looking at the sea view, seemingly in a trance, wondering what she was thinking.
"Fellow Daoist Yunluo, please protect Leiyu during this time." Yuan Ming walked over.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a month. How is the result of this retreat for Yuan Daoyou?" Fairy Yunluo came back to her senses and asked, shaking her head.
"It's a small gain," Yuan Ming said.
"Fellow Taoist Yuan's qualifications are excellent, but there seems to be some problems with the exercises he cultivates, causing his magic power to be slightly disordered. Now it seems to have eased a lot. It seems that fellow Taoist Yuan has found a solution. It is really gratifying. I think it won't take long.
, you will be able to advance to the Dharma phase stage." Fairy Yunluo looked Yuan Ming up and down and chuckled.
"The time for me to advance to the late stage of returning to void is still short, and it is too early to say that I will break through the Dharma Phase stage. As for the problem of skills, I have found a temporary solution. Let's take it one step at a time." Yuan Ming said.
Fairy Yunluo nodded thoughtfully, turned back and looked at the endless sky in the distance, with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Fellow Daoist Yunluo should be returning to Zhongzhou Continent next, right?" Yuan Ming asked instead.
"Yes, everyone in the Yun family has been waiting for me for a long time, and now it's time to rescue them." Fairy Yunluo said in a faint tone.
"With the current level of cultivation of fellow Taoist Yun Luo, the Su Nu Sect shouldn't make things difficult for you, but to be on the safe side, Yuan thinks it's better for you to pick up the clan members quietly." Yuan Ming suggested.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Yuan, I will consider it." Fairy Yunluo turned around and nodded.
"Bring these communication talismans with you, fellow Taoist Yun Luo. If anything goes wrong during this trip, you can send a message to me. Yuan has some friends in Zhongzhou Continent who may be able to provide some help." Yuan Ming took out three more Taixu communication talismans.
, handed it over.
"Including the woman you like?" Fairy Yunluo suddenly asked, without picking up the Taixu communication talisman, and looked straight at Yuan Ming with a pair of bright eyes.
Yuan Ming was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan has not changed yet. He has a heart of stone and has no sympathy for women." Fairy Yunluo looked away and laughed softly.
Yuan Ming did not respond, and the air suddenly became a little quiet, leaving only the rustling sound of thunderstorm wings cutting through the void.
"Yuan has come out of seclusion. Leiyu will be left to me. Fellow Taoist Yunluo can take a rest." After a long silence, Yuan Ming sent the Taixu communication talisman to Fairy Yunluo and said.
Fairy Yunluo said nothing and continued to look into the distance.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming stopped talking. He walked to the other side of Lei Yu's back and sat down. He released his spiritual consciousness to warn the surroundings and planned the next training plan.
"Can you tell me about you and that woman?" Fairy Yunluo's voice suddenly came, with a hint of loneliness in her tone.
When Yuan Ming heard what Fairy Yunluo said, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After seeing Fairy Yunluo's breakthrough in the Dharma, he became somewhat interested in the Su Nu Sect's "Su Nu Heart Sutra" and learned about this technique from Zimei.
"Su Nu Heart Sutra" is a skill that combines the art of charm and the art of dual cultivation, which is barely exquisite.
It's just that whether it's a charm technique or a dual cultivation technique, it requires the help of the seven emotions. Therefore, the chance of the disciples of the Su Nu Sect breeding inner demons is much greater than that of other monks.
There is one biggest taboo when practicing the "Su Nu Heart Sutra": you cannot have true feelings for men, otherwise your Taoist heart will be shaken and your cultivation will be stagnant.
Fairy Yunluo has always been calm. Although she said some flirting words to herself in the past, they were all jokes. Now, could she really be in love with herself?
Or has the other party just broken through the phase of Dharma and is in an unstable state of mind?
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this abyss is manic, which can easily lead to unstable moods. How about taking a rest in the Hundred Flowers Picture, fellow Taoist Yunluo?" Yuan Ming advised tactfully.
Fairy Yunluo's face turned cold and she hummed, "I know very well whether I am in an unstable state of mind, and I don't need you to remind me!"
Hearing this, Yuan Ming touched his nose in disbelief.
"I have lost my composure, but I am very curious about your past, and I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Yuan to tell you without hesitation." Fairy Yunluo took a deep breath, calmed down, and said softly.
Yuan Ming wanted to refuse, but when he saw the sorrow in Fairy Yunluo's eyes, his heart softened inexplicably.
After hesitating for a moment, he briefly recounted the past of how he and Xiying met and got to know each other.
Of course, Yuan Ming removed the content that was not convenient for disclosure, and also concealed the fact that the two came from Yunhuang Continent.
"Listening to what you said, that person is indeed smart, courageous, and wise. She is a wonderful woman. No wonder Yuan Daoyou is so kind to all women." Fairy Yunluo was stunned for a while and laughed at herself.
Yuan Ming smiled noncommittally and said nothing.
The two of them just sat side by side on Leiyu's back, looking at the endless sea and saying nothing for a long time.
"On the day of departure, please don't blame Taoist Yuan for saying such disgraceful words." After a long time, Fairy Yunluo suddenly laughed, then raised her head again, smiling again, as if she had adjusted her mood.
"How could that happen?" Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile.
"It's time for me to leave. Fellow Daoist Yuan, if you have the opportunity to come to Zhongzhou in the future, you must remember to come and let me do my best as a landlord." Fairy Yunluo stood up.
"Of course. If you encounter any trouble again this time, you can contact me again. Yuan will definitely try his best to help." Yuan Ming also stood up.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan has already saved me once. If I ask for your help again, the favor I owe can only be pledged with my own body." Fairy Yunluo half-joked again, her mood no longer fluctuating.
"It's not like Fellow Taoist Yunluo hasn't helped me. What's more, friends don't really pay attention to these things." Yuan Ming said with a smile.
"Since Fellow Daoist Yuan considers me a friend, if that time comes, I will not be polite to you. But Fellow Daoist Yuan, don't think I'm troublesome." Fairy Yunluo said with a smile.
After that, she didn't wait for Yuan Ming to answer, waved her hand and quickly set up the escape light, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Ming looked at the direction in which the woman was going. After a moment of silence, he took a breath and his eyes completely returned to calmness.
In the following days, there were no disturbances. Thunderstorm continued to fly forward, and finally took Yuan Ming away from the death place of the abyss and returned to the East Pole Sea a few days later.
As before, Yuan Ming found a remote and secluded place to place the Shura Palace.
Now that the Faxiang Pill has been refined, Yuan Ming plans to take a good retreat this time and make thorough preparations for the Dharmaxiang period.
The retreat time this time will not be short. Huazhi, King Kong and Lei Yu do not want to stay in Shura Palace with Yuan Ming.
Naturally, Yuan Ming did not force himself, and let them all go out to roam freely, and asked them to search for the whereabouts of the high-level spiritual trees.
He immediately entered the Shura Palace and told Sikong Zhan and others about the long-term seclusion and asked them to prepare.
"Lord Ming Yue God, those mortals are fine, they can eat and drink, but there are many monks gathered in the Black Tower space, especially those who have returned to the void, absorbing the spiritual energy of the world at a terrifying speed. Now the spiritual energy in the Black Tower space has begun to become thinner.
I’m afraid it won’t last long, many people have already started to complain,” Sikong Zhan said.
Yuan Ming frowned, this was indeed a difficult problem.
Although the spiritual energy in the black tower space will not be exhausted immediately, if we don't find a way to alleviate it, I'm afraid it won't last for a few years.
Although those monks were suppressed by him, if they couldn't even provide a basic cultivation environment, some of them would inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry over time.
Moreover, he also expects these people to provide willing power and possession to enhance various magical powers, so he should not treat them too harshly.
"I will resolve this matter." Yuan Ming said.
Sikong Zhan nodded in agreement and retreated.
Yuan Ming came to Yaoyuan Cave Mansion and immersed himself in the arrangement.
Half a day later, he opened a space channel between the medicine garden and the black tower space, and poured the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the medicine garden into the black tower space at a certain speed.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed by the Spirit-Gathering Tree is limited, and the space of the black tower is too large. This has caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the medicine garden to become much thinner, but it has temporarily alleviated the problem of spiritual energy in the black tower space.
Although the black tower space will not be immediately full of spiritual energy, it is better than the previous situation and can last for a hundred and eighty years.
"It seems that if I have time later, I will have to find a few more soul-gathering objects." Yuan Ming thought to himself.
Fortunately, he still has a lot of elixirs on him, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is a little thinner, so it won't have much impact on his cultivation.
For the current Yuan Ming, he is not busy collecting wishes. Therefore, he ordered the monks under him to stop praying and practice all kinds of secret arts and magical powers with all their strength.
After making these arrangements, Yuan Ming began to retreat and concentrate on his practice. Unless Xiying and the others took the initiative to contact him, he would no longer pay attention to everything in the outside world.
Time flies, and eighty years pass by in a flash.
In the Medicine Garden of Shura Palace, Yuan Ming was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. There were dozens of objects floating in the air around him, including magic weapons, stones, wooden blocks, etc.
He suddenly opened his eyes and made a gesture with one hand. The objects flashed and moved frequently, appearing in mid-air for a moment, falling to the ground the next moment, and then back again, almost without any pause.
Moreover, the positions of these artifacts are completely different every moment, and there is no pattern to be found.
Yuan Ming maintained his magical power like this for an hour, and then he stopped making secrets and let out a long breath.
"Yes, after condensing the Dao Seal, the consumption of Liujia Qimen has been greatly reduced, and using it is not so energy-consuming." Yuan Ming explored his Dantian with his spiritual consciousness in thought.
I could only see that in his Dantian area, in addition to representing the Dream Butterfly Seal and the Dream Seal of All Living Beings, there were three other Tao Seals with different shapes floating quietly.
One of them is the Taoist Seal of Liujia Qimen, and the other two are the Taoist Seal of the Art of Transplanting Flowers and Trees and the Art of Round Light.
