Chapter 1036 Purple Cloud Palace
"Is this the Yinhun Flower?" Yuan Ming flew into the abyss, carefully picked the small flower, and handed it to Xiying.
Xiying took the small flower, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Yes, this is the Yinhun Flower we are looking for, and it is old enough. Next, I will go into seclusion to refine the Nine Yin True Soul Pill. Wait for me for a few days."
"Do you need my help?" Yuan Ming asked.
"No, the refining of the Nine Yin True Soul Pill requires special techniques and cannot be passed on." Xiying shook her head.
Yuan Ming understood that this should also be a restriction set by Mingyue Palace. He did not ask any more questions and immediately opened the Shura Palace, allowing Xiying to go in and retreat by herself.
He thought about it, and with the help of the power of the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, he contacted the fairy Yunluo who stayed in Baidi City.
"Yunluo, how is the practice of the Three Pure Ones in One Qi?" He asked directly.
Fairy Yunluo was practicing at this time. When she heard Yuan Ming's voice, she quickly stopped practicing and responded: "Reporting to the master, the progress is quite smooth. I have been able to cultivate a Jade Purity clone."
There are three levels of the One Qi into Three Purities, namely Jade Purity, Upper Purity and Great Purity. Every time you practice to a level, you can split a clone.
"Oh? What about the progress of others?" Yuan Ming was delighted and asked again.
Before he left Baidi City, he appointed Fairy Yunluo as the general manager of Baidi City to be responsible for managing all matters.
After teaching the One Qi into Three Purities magical power, he also asked everyone to report their practice progress to Fairy Yunluo regularly so that he could grasp the situation.
"Reporting to the master, the progress of the other Taoist friends is not ideal. At present, only I have the most profound understanding of this method." Fairy Yunluo replied, with a hint of seeking credit in her words.
Yuan Ming was not surprised. After all, it was not long since he taught the skills, and it was rare for someone to cultivate a Jade Purity clone.
"It seems that you are quite compatible with this method, and your future achievements are limitless. In the next period of time, you should put other things aside and concentrate on practicing this method. I will be of great use to you." Yuan Ming ordered.
"Yes." Fairy Yunluo nodded and continued to practice.
Yuan Ming ended the communication with Fairy Yunluo, and then he gently picked up a black incense and carefully inserted it into the Heaven Stealing Cauldron.
The next moment, his consciousness merged into the body of Fairy Yunluo like flowing water.
Time flowed slowly in silence until Yuan Ming withdrew from Fairy Yunluo's body. He opened his eyes and immediately looked inside his Dantian.
In the depths of the Dantian, a green rune mark was quietly suspended. Although the mysterious aura it exuded was slightly insufficient and the color was slightly dim, it exuded a unique brilliance.
This is the Jade Purity Seal, which was condensed by Yuan Ming after he used the body of Fairy Yunluo to practice the magical power of One Qi into Three Purities to the Jade Purity realm.
Yuan Ming was delighted and retracted his inner gaze. He made hand gestures again, activated the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, and established contact with Qiu Nu who also stayed in Baidi City.
He did not talk to Qiu Nu, but quietly operated the method of transforming one breath into three pure ones, projecting the Jade Purity Seal in his dantian to Qiu Nu through the air.
Then, he raised his hand and pressed his fingers lightly to his forehead, while mumbling a spell.
The next moment, a green light shot out from behind his head, landed beside him, and gradually condensed into the appearance of Qiu Nu.
Feeling the breath of the Dharma image emanating from Qiu Nu's clone, Yuan Ming couldn't help but smile.
With Qiu Nu's clone, Yuan Ming came to the place where the World Tree was. With a thought, Qiu Nu's clone took the initiative to step forward and raised his hand to aim at the innate bitter bamboo growing under the tree.
In the palm of Qiu Nu's clone, a green spiritual light streaked through the void like a meteor and landed accurately on the bitter bamboo.
Under Yuan Ming's gaze, the innate bitter bamboo grew rapidly at an astonishing speed, and the years were also increasing rapidly.
At the same time, Yuan Ming also clearly felt that his life span was passing at an astonishing speed.
This was because the cost of the life span consumed by the clones he split out to perform magical powers had to be borne by him.
Yuan Ming had expected this.
He was already at the peak of the Dharma phase, and with the World Tree as his life plant, his life span was exceptionally long, as long as 30,000 to 40,000 years to withstand such consumption.
What surprised him was that the ratio of life span exchange changed when he performed Qingmu Xuanguang with the Dharma phase.
Under Yuan Ming's precise control, Qiu Nu's clone finally consumed 10,000 years of his life span and successfully increased the age of the bitter bamboo to an astonishing 180,000 years.
Then, Yuan Ming pinched the magic formula, disbanded Qiu Nu's clone, took out the Soul-Destroying Sword, and gently swung it, and cut off the upper half of the innate bitter bamboo.
Not long after, Yuan Ming found Xihezi, handed the bitter bamboo to her, and said:
"Xihezi, I have found the 100,000-year-old bitter bamboo you wanted."
Xihezi's eyes lit up, and he excitedly took the bitter bamboo and said: "Oh, that's great, I didn't expect you to really get the 100,000-year-old innate bitter bamboo. Leave the rest to me, the pure hairpin refined this time will definitely surprise you!"
"Then I'll wait and see." Yuan Ming smiled.
At present, all the conditions have been gathered, and he can try to take that step after the Dao Pill and the Pure Hairpin are refined.
Yuan Ming, with a hint of expectation and trepidation, once again devoted himself to cultivation.
...
Five days later.
Yuan Ming, who was in retreat, suddenly moved his expression, and his figure disappeared from the original place like a phantom, and appeared outside the retreat room the next moment.
The door slowly opened, and Xiying walked out, with a faint smile on her face and a surging aura around her. It was obvious that she had reached the late stage of the life wizard.
Without waiting for Yuan Ming to ask, Xiying restrained her excitement and said seriously: "My cultivation is enough, and I can barely break through the limit of the spell. You need to remember the following words."
Yuan Ming saw her solemn expression, and immediately restrained his mind, and said solemnly: "You speak, I listen."
Xiying took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with both hands, and lightly touched her eyebrows.
A ray of gray flashed in her eyes, and her voice was a little difficult: "Go southeast, go deep into the mountains, and find the Purple Cloud Palace!"
As soon as the voice fell, a gray rune appeared at her eyebrows, and the rune trembled slightly, making a deafening buzzing sound.
Then, Xiying rolled her eyes, and the whole person fell softly, falling into a coma.
"Xiying! What's wrong with you?" Yuan Ming hurried forward, supported the fallen Xiying, and called out repeatedly.
However, no matter how he called, Xiying did not respond. Only the gray rune between her eyebrows was still suspended, as if an invisible seal locked her consciousness tightly.
Yuan Ming's face sank, and he tried to break the rune between Xiying's eyebrows with his soul power, but no matter how he urged it, the rune did not move at all, and Xiying was still unconscious.
He couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Mingyue Palace, but this was not the time to pursue it.
So, he placed Xiying in the Shura Palace, and took Wang Fulong to the southeast of the mountain range.
After an unknown period of time, Yuan Ming suddenly realized that the purple light in the mountains became more and more intense.
He probed his spiritual sense and saw a group of ruined palaces standing among the mountains not far ahead.
These palaces are all purple, but they are not built of rocks. The bricks and tiles are deep in color, which is completely different from the crystal rocks in the mountains.
Looking around, palaces are scattered all over the mountains, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, crisscrossing and stacking up, which is dazzling.
It is conceivable that when these palaces were intact, it would be a magnificent sight.
However, nowadays, most of the palaces are in ruins, and it is almost impossible to find intact places. The furniture in the palaces is also messy and in a mess.
Yuan Ming searched the ruins of the palaces, but did not find anything valuable and had to continue to move southeast.
He guessed that this might be the ruins of a sect in the Heavenly World.
Considering the scale of this palace complex and the strangeness of the mountains, Yuan Ming believed that this sect must have had at least one ghost witch ancestor in charge.
And the Purple Cloud Palace that Xiying mentioned may also have a thousand threads of connection with this ghost witch ancestor.
After flying for about half an hour, Yuan Ming suddenly saw a palace surrounded by purple clouds standing tall on the top of a mountain in the distance.
When he flew closer, he found that there were countless murals painted on the outer wall of the palace, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see the content of the murals clearly.
If he stared for a long time, he would even feel an inexplicable dizziness.
He quickly retracted his gaze and looked at the palace gate.
He saw four big characters engraved on the plaque above the gate - Ziyun Tiangong.
Yuan Ming brought Wang Fulong to the front of the gate and tentatively stretched out his hand to push.
The next moment, a purple spiritual light suddenly burst out from the door, wrapping him and Wang Fulong in it.
The two of them blurred their eyes, and when they woke up again, they were already in a void space full of purple clouds.
As soon as he entered this place, Yuan Ming felt that all connections with the outside world were cut off, as if he was in another world. This feeling was even stronger than the sense of obstruction caused by crossing the boundary barrier.
He looked around and saw that there was nothingness and purple clouds all around, and there was no place to land.
Only in the far distance ahead, there was a wooden door suspended in the air, and no one knew where it led to.
Just as Yuan Ming was carefully observing the surrounding environment, his expression suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to call out the Shura Palace.
A moment later, Xiying actually walked out slowly.
At this moment, the rune between her eyebrows had disappeared, her eyes were clear as water, and her expression and behavior were the same as usual.
"You woke up?" Yuan Ming said in surprise.
"Well, thanks to you for finding the Ziyun Palace, it seems that my judgment is correct." Xiying smiled and nodded, with a smile on her face.
"Can this place really isolate the restrictions set by the Mingyue Palace?" Yuan Ming seemed to have realized something in his heart, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"That's right. The Ziyun Palace is the natal spiritual treasure of a ghost witch. It has its own world inside and has the effect of isolating the soul realm. The word spirit spell cast by the Mingyue Palace does not act directly on me, but is remotely restricted by some means. As long as I stay here, the spell cannot touch me." Xiying nodded.
Yuan Ming frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "But if you leave this place, won't you fall into a coma again?"
