Chapter 183 Floating Shadow
However, when these ferocious beasts rushed to within a hundred feet, without exception, they all only took a few steps before staggering to the ground one after another, and they all fainted.
After a while, a circle formed around them, blocking the beasts behind.
"When did you get such a strong incense? What a good thing! What is the incense that attracted the beast just now made of?" Seeing another incense with magical effects appear, Xiying became even more curious.
Yuan Ming did not answer directly, but took out the remaining two black fruits the size of pigeon eggs and said: "No, this is the fruit. There were three of them, and I bought them in the ghost market in Black Rock City. According to that According to the stall owner, it is a unique tree from a certain family in the southern region. It takes hundreds of years to produce a strange fruit. After being eaten by strange animals, it can quickly increase the chance of fertility. If this fruit is placed in the mountains and forests, the fruit will reveal a trace of The slightest smell will attract fierce beasts hundreds of feet around to fight for food."
"So that's it. Don't waste this strange fruit. It may be of great use in the future? This ghost market is really interesting. I must go there once." Xiying said, her curiosity was completely ignited.
"Next time we go together. With your eyesight, you can't miss anything good. Why don't you go now?" Yuan Ming said bewitchingly.
"Don't think about the ghost market now. There was such a big movement just now. When the sect finds out the clues, they will definitely investigate. The secret of making incense will not be kept." Xiying said.
"Then let's get out of here quickly." Yuan Ming said with a solemn expression.
…
The two moved to a place far away and settled down again.
At night, in the middle of the month, a full moon hangs high in the sky, blooming with bright light.
Yuan Ming lit a bonfire in the new camp, grilled the animal meat, and shared the food with the silver cat.
Speaking of which, he had never seen Xiying eat before.
When he was curious, Yuan Ming tentatively brought a piece of freshly roasted animal meat to the silver cat, lining it with clean and wide leaves.
Xiying just glanced at it and turned her head disdainfully.
"I will not eat."
"What? You don't need to eat anymore?" Yuan Mingyi said.
"I no longer eat ordinary food, why don't you give me a demon pill?" Xiying glanced at Yuan Ming and said.
"When I can deal with the demonic beast at the core formation stage, I will definitely find one for you!" Yuan Ming's intention to test was seen through by Xiying, and he laughed dryly and vowed.
"It's a deal! I can wait." Xiying said.
In order to cover up his embarrassment, Yuan Ming chewed and bit louder than before. Juice overflowed from the corners of his mouth. Together with the original aroma, it looked like a delicacy in the world.
Xiying raised her head, looked at the sky, said, "It's getting late," and jumped up onto a big tree nearby.
After looking back at Yuan Ming, it moved towards another big tree.
"Xiying, where are you going?" Yuan Ming asked.
"I'm going to practice, do you want to come and take a look?" Xiying's figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
Yuan Ming stopped chewing the food in his mouth and hesitated whether to look for Xi Ying and wanted to see how Xi Ying practiced, but he suppressed his curiosity and did not follow.
He was just about to take the last bite when he suddenly felt a strange wave coming from a distance.
He felt that the fluctuation was probably caused by Xi Ying's practice. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to protect Xi Ying, and quickly used the wind agility technique and rushed over there.
Before Yuan Ming could get closer, he saw a hazy white light shining on the top of an ancient tree dozens of feet high in the distance, facing the full moon in the distance.
After getting closer, Yuan Ming finally saw clearly that the person standing on the top of the tree was none other than the silver cat Xiying.
At this moment, Yuan Ming could already feel the obvious fluctuations of the power of the soul emanating from the figure and the light around him, gently impacting his spiritual thoughts like a tide.
Silver Cat had naturally discovered Yuan Ming, but he was currently practicing the key, so he ignored him.
"Is this Xiying practicing?"
Yuan Ming was greatly touched. He had never seen such huge spiritual power in his life. Of course, he had no reference in the past and could only compare it with his own.
The results obtained are no surprise, and the difference between clouds and mud is overwhelming.
At this time, he focused his eyes and looked carefully at the silver cat, only to see that its eyes were as bright as stars, its body was upright, its head was raised to the sky, and it was making a roaring moon gesture.
At the same time, the white light on its surface grew stronger and stronger, and a vague human-shaped figure suddenly floated out from it. It was only an inch away from the silver cat's body. It looked like a young woman, with its whole body crystal clear and beautiful.
Yuan Ming just took one look and couldn't help but be stunned.
Although the figure was extremely blurry, and the details of the appearance could not be clearly seen, even the unclear outline was like a nine-day fairy, exuding unspeakable charm.
Right here, the top of the ancient tree is far away into the sky, matched by the dark blue night sky, decorated with numerous twinkling stars, and matched by the bright full moon. The exquisite figure floats out, and it becomes more and more independent from the world, so beautiful that it makes people feel sad. shock.
A moment later, in the sky, a ray of moonlight seemed to be a real thing, falling from the sky above, completely covering the silver cat and the beautiful figure of the woman.
Every inch of the moonlight was taken into the body by the beautiful shadow, and the light all over the body became brighter and brighter. The fluctuations that had been emitted before gradually shrank until they were all converged.
Yuan Ming's eyes just fell on the hazy figure, and he could no longer look away.
After a cup of tea, the female figure slowly retracted and fell into the body of the silver cat, and the white light shrouding it gradually disappeared.
Yuan Ming suddenly came to his senses and saw that the silver cat had already flown down and arrived in front of him.
"Xiying, is this the advanced form of the "Underworld Moon Art"?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Yes." The silver cat replied.
"It's really amazing!" Yuan Ming smiled and complimented.
"Of course, this is not comparable to ordinary exercises." The silver cat said proudly.
"When can I practice to this level?" Yuan Ming asked.
"What I passed on to you is just the introductory chapter of the "Underworld Moon Art". After practicing all three levels, you can only practice to the late stage of Qi Refining in the soul cultivation at most. But even so, the foundation-building cultivator may not be able to defend against the methods of the Qi Refining Soul Cultivator. It's just that ordinary soul cultivators are prone to backlash. In addition, this is not the limit of these three levels of exercises, but your own limit." Xiying said.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Ming really didn't understand.
"After practicing the three-level entry-level "Mingyue Jue" technique, when you are promoted to the foundation-building stage, you don't need to continue practicing, your soul cultivation realm can also break through the foundation-building stage, and your soul power will also leap at that time." Silver Cat explained.
"I see." Yuan Ming suddenly realized.
But after saying that, he said: "I seem to have reached a bottleneck in the practice of "Mingyue Jue" recently, and I have never been able to complete the three-level practice, but I don't know why."
"There is no difference between the entry-level chapter of "Mingyue Jue" and the practice of Qi Refining Stage. They are all for the foundation of future practice. In the final analysis, it is also the accumulation of soul power. I see that your practice speed has slowed down recently. Either you are slacking off in practice, or you have consumed too much soul power." Silver Cat looked him up and down and said immediately.
Yuan Ming fell into silence after hearing this.
He paused the practice of "Mingyue Jue" after the practice speed slowed down, but he did not slack off before.
In this case, it is probably because his soul power was consumed too much?
The methods of soul cultivators are strange and unpredictable, especially the magical power of soul collision, which can hurt the enemy's soul across levels, making it hard to guard against. Although each time he uses it, his soul power is also consumed. He does not use it very often, and will not use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary. In addition, there is an incense burner to nourish the soul, so it should not cause excessive consumption of his soul power, right?
Silver Cat no longer pays attention to him and walks back.
Yuan Ming followed behind and walked two steps, and suddenly stopped. He thought of something again. His soul power consumption may be related to the possession of the incense.
Combined with the previous memories, the time when he slowed down the practice of "Underworld Moon Art" basically coincided with the time when he began to test the incense frequently.
If there is something that really affects the soul power, the most likely thing is this matter.
When thinking of this, Yuan Ming became a little entangled. Practicing "Underworld Moon Art" is very important to him, and testing the original black incense is also an urgent goal. How to choose?
But when he thought about the "White Deer Hill Alliance" he was going to attend later, Yuan Ming figured it out. It was more important to make further progress in the practice of "Mingyue Jue" as soon as possible.
He still had to try the incense, but not as frequently as before.
"Xiying, when will you teach me the subsequent exercises of "Mingyue Jue"?" Yuan Ming suddenly asked.
"When did I say I would teach you the subsequent exercises?" Xiying paused and looked back at him.
"Oh, why did you give up halfway?" Yuan Ming asked half-jokingly.
"Wait until you build your foundation and see if I'm in a good mood." Xiying said faintly.
"Speaking of this, I just want to ask you. In addition to the foundation-building pill, is there any other way to improve the success rate? After all, I only have the worst four spiritual roots." Yuan Ming asked.
Xiying suddenly shouted: "Who said four spiritual roots are bad. I still have five spiritual roots!"
"Five spiritual roots?" Yuan Ming was startled. He had never heard of a cultivator with five spiritual roots.
"These sects are all shallow-minded. They only know that fewer spiritual roots lead to faster cultivation. They choose disciples with fewer spiritual roots and even call single spiritual roots heavenly spiritual roots. Bah! Remember, the more spiritual roots you have, the higher the upper limit will be! If you reach the Nascent Soul stage or above, you will know the benefits of having more spiritual roots!" Xiying said.
"Then my talent of having four spiritual roots is not bad." Yuan Ming felt as if a new door had been opened and asked hurriedly.
"Don't be happy too early. Even after your four spiritual roots have been established, cultivation will always be difficult. It's too early to even form a pill!" Xiying poured cold water on him, bringing Yuan Ming back to reality immediately.
"It's really a long way to go!" Yuan Ming sighed
"You should first practice the technique to the thirteenth level honestly. By then, with the foundation-building pill, you can improve a lot of possibilities. After all, the technique you practice is not simple. Looking at the Northern Territory, except for some big families and sect disciples, I'm afraid that few people can practice faster than you." Xiying pouted.
