Chapter 210: Youthful Bonds

No wonder Ma Xingkong's magical aura is similar to his own. It seems that he is practicing a technique similar to the Nine Yuan Jue. In this way, whether it is Biluo Cave or Changchun Temple, the two can be regarded as fellow disciples, and they are really destined to be together. Thinking of this, Yuan Ming had a new idea about Ma Xingkong.

"So you are a disciple of Changchun Temple, the first sect of Dajin," Yuan Ming complimented.

"You two are too kind. I can't be called a high disciple. After I escaped from Biluo Cave, I met my master by chance. He saw that I still had some qualifications, so he accepted me as his disciple. Recently, since we have to eradicate Biluo Cave, and I happen to have some evidence of Biluo Cave killing mortals, I was sent to Nanjiang to deal with this matter with Poxiao." Ma Xingkong said.

"So that's it. Those photos of Biluo Cave killing mortals were deliberately recorded by you when you were in Biluo Cave?" Yuan Ming nodded and asked curiously, but for the involvement of Changchun Temple, he always felt that there should be some other reasons.

"To be honest, I was born a merchant. I followed the caravan to the southern border and was attacked by the Biluo Cave on the way. All my relatives and friends were killed. I was lucky enough to escape because I had spiritual roots. In order to avenge my relatives, I became a registered disciple from a furry beast slave. Later, I bought a magic weapon in the market and recorded several cases of Biluo Cave killing mortals. I originally wanted to use these photos to accuse Biluo Cave of violating the Ten Rules of the Northern Territory. Unfortunately, the five sects in the Northern Territory blamed each other. Until now, these photos have finally come in handy." Ma Xingkong showed a trace of hatred in his eyes.

"Biluo Cave is a crime against heaven and earth, and it deserves to be destroyed today. Brother Ma has done a great deed." Yuan Ming's mind flashed the miserable situation in Miaohua Village and sighed.

"We have been chatting here for a long time and almost forgot the business. Brother Yuan, I have reported your merits for you and added you to the list of rewards. Hurry up and claim it. If you are late, all the good things will be taken away." Wu Lu suddenly remembered something and said.

Yuan Ming's face was suddenly enlightened. He thanked him, but he was happy in his heart. He had already received two foundation-building pills from Ouji, but he didn't expect to receive another one here!

As for the rewards, the more the better. He spent a lot of effort this time, burning incense and protecting the law, and he was exhausted.

He immediately came to the ten members of the Dawn Breaking who were holding books and reported his name.

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Yuan, nice to meet you! The story of you and Ulu successfully sneaking into the Biluo Cave is really a legend!" A pockmarked woman checked the book in her hand and smiled at Yuan Ming.

"The basic merit value of the participating members is 100. Fellow Daoist Yuan has endured humiliation and hard work this time, which can be said to be a great contribution. The total merit value is 500. The things in the square have been marked with merit values. Please choose them by yourself." Another short-haired young man said.

"But you have to hurry up, the good things have been picked up almost." The pockmarked woman reminded in a low voice.

"Thank you very much."

Yuan Ming thanked them and walked quickly towards the spirit beasts gathered in front of the Taming Beast Hall.

He had always wanted a flying spirit beast for transportation, but unfortunately he had never found the opportunity. This time, a large number of spirit beasts were taken out as rewards in Biluo Cave, and now he could choose one.

Biluo Cave is famous for its spirit beasts in the southern border and northern regions. The spirit beasts of the Taming Beast Hall have become the focus of competition among the members of Dawn. Most of them have been chosen by people. Flying spirit beasts are the key targets, and there are very few left.

He searched the square for a while and his eyes fell on a unique green crane. When the green crane stood, it was about ten feet tall, with a green neck and white wings. It was unworldly and handsome, and its cry was lonely and high-pitched.

And what a coincidence, the mighty man standing in front of the green crane was Bai Ye, and Huan Shi had gone somewhere unknown.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Hagong, I didn't expect that we would meet again here today after parting in Black Rock City that day." Bai Ye also saw Yuan Ming and laughed.

"Alliance Master Bai Ye, we are indeed destined to meet." Yuan Ming also laughed.

"Fellow Daoist is really a hidden talent. No wonder you are so powerful and tight-lipped." Bai Ye looked at Yuan Ming and said meaningfully.

"Excuse me, I was forced by the situation. Are you here to choose a flying spirit beast?" Yuan Ming asked without commenting, looking at Qinghe.

"My contribution this time is limited, and the merit points are not enough. This Qingyun Crane is good, but the merit points required are not cheap." Seeing that Yuan Ming was unwilling to say more, Bai Ye did not ask more questions and turned his eyes to Qinghe.

"Four hundred and fifty merit points, it is really high!" Yuan Ming also nodded. A flying spirit beast of the first level, a cultivator with high merit value may not like it, but a cultivator who likes it cannot afford it. It is a bit neither high nor low. Otherwise, how could it stay?

"Fellow Daoist Ha Gong, you wait and see. Now that the matter here is over, I will take my leave first." Bai Ye said.

"What are the plans of the leader of Bai Ye? Do you plan to stay in Dawn forever, or to revive the scattered Bai Ye alliance?" Yuan Ming asked.

"To be honest, I plan to return to Leizhou, Dajin, and join my master. Fellow Daoist Ha Gong, I believe that you and I will meet again in the future. Goodbye." Bai Ye looked a little lonely. After saying this, he turned and left.

Yuan Ming watched Bai Ye's burly figure disappear at the end of the square, and his eyes returned to the Qingyun Crane in front of him. After a few glances, he nodded with satisfaction.

He had seen the figure of this Qingyun Crane in the sect. It was the mount of the elder Mengshan of the Taming Beast Hall. It was light and fast. I don't know why it didn't carry it with it when it left the sect.

He immediately confirmed the merit points with a member of the Dawn who was standing not far away, and put the Qingyun Crane into the spirit beast bag.

For the remaining fifty merit points, he casually exchanged for a small pile of white spirit fruits called "Heart-Losing Fruits". It is said that after taking them, people can lose their minds and produce extreme pleasure, which makes people unable to extricate themselves.

This fruit is harmful to the body, but he intends to use it to try to refine incense, so he didn't think too much about it.

Just when Yuan Ming was about to leave the square in front of the Beast Taming Hall, Xiying came out from nowhere holding Guoguo.

"This Biluo Cave is a blessed place, but it's a pity that it was destroyed by the war." Xiying said.

"It's okay, everything will be restored to its original state in a few decades. What are your plans next?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Before, I was wandering around Biluo Cave for the sake of the Soul-Calming Pot. Now that the matter is finally done, I plan to use Xiao Ying's identity to play in Southern Xinjiang for a while. Her ancestor will have a birthday party soon, and I need to go back then. I will occupy her body, and I will do something for her. What are your plans?" Xiying tilted her head and thought for a while, then said so.

"My cultivation is only one step away from reaching the peak of Qi Refining. After that, I plan to find a quiet place and try to build a foundation." Yuan Ming said.

"Okay, take this." Xiying said, taking out a storage bag and throwing it over.

Yuan Ming subconsciously caught it and used his spiritual sense to explore.

There was a blood egg, a jade slip, and three green talismans in the storage bag.

"The blood egg was found in the old man's cave. Over the years, most of the blood taken by the beast slaves has been fed to this egg. Let me give it to you to play with. The jade slip is a formation book of the Xiaoying family. I remember that you have a set of formation flags but don't know how to use them. This formation book contains some formation methods. As for the three talismans, they are called Qingling sound transmission talismans. As long as the distance is not more than ten thousand miles, you can use these talismans to send messages to me." Xiying's calm voice came.

"This blood egg looks extraordinary. Do you know its origin and how to hatch it?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Xi Cangqiong used the blood collected by the beast slaves in the Ten Thousand Mountains to feed it. I think the blood energy absorbed by this egg is enough. You can take a drop of blood every half a month to continue feeding it. Maybe it can hatch automatically. Well, I have said everything I should say. I will say goodbye and see you later." Xiying thought for a while and said.

"Wait a minute." Yuan Ming called Xiying and took out the gray cloak, "I'll give it back to you."

"This dress is so ugly? I don't want it." Xiying turned around.

Yuan Ming was not polite and accepted the dress.

"We are separated today. I don't know when we will meet again. I have a question in my heart. I hope you can help me solve it." Yuan Ming said.

"When we first met, I was just an ordinary furry beast slave. Why did you look at me differently and teach me the skills?" Yuan Ming asked the doubts in his heart.

"Because you have that tripod." Xiying said.

"Because of the incense burner?" Yuan Ming tried.

"Your is not an incense burner, but a treasure for soul cultivators like me. It should be the legendary 'Stealing Heaven Tripod'. It's a pity that it has recognized its master, otherwise I really want to take it away." Xiying's mouth corners curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.

"'Stealing Heaven Tripod', what a domineering name." Yuan Ming continued: "Then you can still kill people and steal treasures now." Yuan Ming looked at Xiying with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't want it. If I kill you, there will be one less hero in the world who loves to show off. Wouldn't it be boring?" Xiying said, "Kill, kill, kill. When I get home, I will tell my father that the child prodigy he mentioned has become a vulgar man who kills."

"Do you still recognize this book?" Xiying was silent for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, a blue thing floated over.

Yuan Ming raised his hand to catch it, but it was a slightly old picture book.

He flipped through it briefly and found that it was a childish fairy tale book with some hamster illustrations in the middle. The memories in his heart suddenly emerged.

He did not practice for some reason when he was a child. He learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and martial arts. When he was bored, he wrote some childish fairy tale books and circulated them. This book is one of them.

Yuan Ming was born smart and was known as a child prodigy. The childish fairy tales he wrote were not only widely circulated in Dajin, but also spread to neighboring countries.

The young emperor of Dajin liked these stories written by Yuan Ming very much, so he recruited him to be his companion.

"I naturally recognize the stories written in my childhood." Yuan Ming closed the book and said slowly.

"When I was a child, my father bought me a book. He praised the picture book you wrote and said it was in line with the way of heaven. I read it by accident when I was bored. Although the story is broken, the mouse in it is well drawn. I will bring it with me this time." Xiying said faintly. After speaking, she turned around and looked at the mountains in the distance. Her eyes were like water, as if she was looking in a certain direction.

Yuan Ming did not urge him and waited quietly.
