Chapter 317 Invited

A year and a half passed in a flash.

A clear whistle came from the secret room, containing powerful waves of mana, causing the ground and walls to tremble faintly.

A layer of yellow light flowed on the four walls of the cave, blocking all the sound and mana fluctuations, and not letting any of them out.

A moment later, Yuan Ming walked out of the secret room, emitting a strong pressure all over his body, and he had reached the late stage of foundation building.

He was not far from the late stage of foundation building. After splitting his soul to resolve the disadvantages of the insect pill, its medicinal power was extremely strong. With the help of spiritual incense and other things, the practice of Jiuyuan Jue was like a natural result.

Yuan Ming was not surprised by the breakthrough in his cultivation this time. After a year and a half of hard practice, his biggest improvement was in his soul.

Because he had protected the Black Soil Square many times before, as well as the mortals in the nearby area and Hu Ji's proper planning, the number of devout believers of the Dark Moon God had increased to more than 300 people, and the number of ordinary believers was not small, so the collected wishes naturally increased.

With the help of many wishes, Yuan Ming's practice of the Dark Moon Art has made rapid progress. Now the fourth level is almost complete. After a period of stability, he can consider breaking through the fifth level.

Once the fifth level is broken through, the soul power will almost reach the level of condensing soul pills.

In other words, his practice of soul power will completely surpass his practice of magic power.

In Yuan Ming's sea of ​​consciousness, the split soul is quietly suspended, and its body size has returned to the size before the split, and it is much larger.

Moreover, during this period of time, the practice of the Huanxin Art day after day has condensed his soul power to an astonishing degree, with a sense of the richness of a hundred-forged fine iron.

Such a split soul is much more efficient in refining the emotions and distractions in the wish power than before.

Yuan Ming slowly came to another secret room, pushed the door and walked in.

Zuo Qinghui was practicing here with his eyes closed at the moment, and his aura was quite rich, and he had also reached the foundation-building stage.

Speaking of which, Zuo Qinghui's aptitude was far higher than Yuan Ming's. With the supply of sufficient pills, he had reached the peak of Qi Refining half a year ago.

Afterwards, Yuan Ming spent a sum of spirit stones to buy a foundation-building pill from Xiansha City, so that he could successfully build his foundation.

Speaking of which, although the pills in Xiansha City are scarce in the Central Plains, there are many people here, and there are also some valuable items, which are brought here by cultivators from afar.

According to Yuan Ming's experience over the years, even here, as long as you can afford it, you can even do many things that the Central Plains can't do.

Zuo Qinghui has extraordinary qualifications. After breaking through the foundation-building period, he also began to take insect pills to practice. His mana progressed by leaps and bounds, which can almost be described as a thousand miles a day. I believe that in a few years, he will be able to catch up with Yuan Ming.

But I don't know what went wrong with his body. It may be because of his resurrection from the dead, or it may be the recoil of the golden shadow sword technique and insect pill he practiced, or for some other reason. His skin color turned light gold, and the wrinkles on his face disappeared a lot. Now he looks like a middle-aged man.

Yuan Ming was somewhat surprised by this, but he did not try to solve the problem. As a Jindan cultivator of Changchun Temple, Zuo Qinghui was originally worried that going out would attract attention. In this way, it would be difficult for him to be recognized.

The soul in Zuo Qinghui's sea of ​​consciousness was also strengthened a lot, which was due to Yuan Ming's deliberate cultivation with his willpower.

The stronger the soul power of the soul, the more comfortable it is to control Zuo Qinghui.

This soul was refined through the Huanxin Jue to refine the remnant of the monster in the insect pill. Over the years, its soul power has been trained to be quite condensed.

Yuan Ming did not wake up Zuo Qinghui and turned to leave. As a result, as soon as he left the secret room, his expression changed slightly, and he took out a sound transmission note from his arms, and his consciousness was immersed in it.

The sound transmission note shattered and turned into a ball of white light, and a voice penetrated into his ears.

Yuan Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he got up and left his residence, and soon came to a shop called "Di Ling Pavilion" in the inner city.

This is a shop selling magic array equipment. He customized a set of magic array here two months ago, and it was finally completed today.

Yuan Ming entered the store, gave his name, and was soon led into the inner hall by the attendant. An old man in green was already waiting here.

"Master Lu, thank you for your hard work." Yuan Ming said with a bow.

"Haha, you are too polite, Fellow Daoist Yuan. I am doing this business, so how can it be hard or not? The array you want is inside, check it out." The old man in green took out a wooden box about one foot high and handed it over. Inside was a set of black array flags and array plates, which were full of spiritual energy.

"Master Lu, how could the array you personally refined be wrong? No need to check." Yuan Ming laughed and put the wooden box away directly.

The Master Lu in front of him was one of the best array masters in Xiansha City, and he was also very good at refining array instruments. Yuan Ming spent a lot of spirit stones to ask this person to refine a set of "Northern Dipper Star Soul Array".

This magic array itself does not have the effect of defeating the enemy. Its only function is to form a star soul barrier. The soul power within the barrier will not flow out at all. It is a prerequisite for refining soul pills. The refining method is also recorded in the Soul Pill Secret Art, but for Yuan Ming, it is naturally impossible to refine it by himself.

Master Lu was very satisfied with Yuan Ming's attitude. He exchanged a few words and said goodbye.

Yuan Ming and Master Lu were still in the stage of making friends. He planned to ask him to refine other magic arrays for him in the future, so he left tactfully.

After stepping out of the door of the Earth Spirit Pavilion, he used his spiritual consciousness to sink into the storage ring, explored the magic array in the wooden box, and compared it one by one with the records of the Soul Pill Secret Art. He found that there was no problem with this array, and he was completely relieved.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the breakthrough of the Dark Moon Art.

Yuan Ming turned around and went home. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and turned to walk in another direction. After a while, he arrived at the other side of the inner city.

The shops here began to become scarce, and the buildings on the roadside became tall and wide. They were the bases of scattered alliances. The scattered alliances in Xiansha City were all in this area.

Many cultivators went in and out of the various scattered alliance bases, most of them in a hurry.

Yuan Ming went straight to the base of a scattered alliance called "Huwei". A tall and thin figure in a black robe stood here. It was Hua Zhi.

Seeing Yuan Ming appear, Hua Zhi came up and handed over a storage bag.

"You haven't been here for a long time, but you have gained a lot." Yuan Ming's consciousness sank into the storage bag, and his eyebrows raised.

Hua Zhi has been hunting monster insects near Xiansha City for more than a year to improve his strength.

Yuan Ming thought that since he had to kill monster insects anyway, he might as well take some tasks to hunt monster insects and collect materials, and earn some spirit stones by the way.

However, Huazhi's speed in hunting monster insects was beyond his expectation. There were many monster materials in the storage bag. Even if they were sold directly, they could be exchanged for a large amount of spiritual stones.

"I have added several more subordinates recently, so the speed of collecting materials has naturally increased a bit." Huazhi said in a voice transmission, with a sense of joy in his voice.

Yuan Ming suddenly realized and told Huazhi to go back to his residence first, and he took the storage bag and walked into the Huwei Sanmeng.

Although Huazhi's intelligence was greatly opened, he could not speak, and he had to do the task of completing the task himself.

Entering from the main gate of the Huwei Sanmeng, there is a large stone hall with many task curtains hanging around, with various tasks written on them.

The Huwei Sanmeng has a close relationship with the magic weapon shops in Xiansha City, and has issued many tasks to collect monster materials. This is also the reason why Yuan Ming came here, and the Huwei Sanmeng is tolerant. Even if you are not a member of the Sanmeng, you can come here to accept tasks.

Many cultivators walked in the hall and checked the task list.

Yuan Ming went straight to the innermost long stone table, took out the storage bag containing the monster insect materials and two stone tablets, and handed them to a gray-clothed man behind the stone table.

The gray-clothed monk had no idea how many tasks he had to handle every day. He was quick and nimble, and soon finished the task. Yuan Ming's storage ring had another seven or eight hundred spirit stones.

Just as Yuan Ming was about to turn around and leave, a voice came from the side:

"Hey, isn't this Fellow Daoist Yuan?"

Yuan Ming looked up and saw a man in a yellow robe coming over. It was Cui Wuran, who had met him several times before.

"Fellow Daoist Cui, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you here to take on tasks?" Yuan Ming nodded and said.

"Yes, the Tiger Power Alliance does not restrict outsiders from entering and leaving. I came here to take a look. Hey, Fellow Daoist Yuan's cultivation has made great progress. It's really a cause for celebration." Cui Wuran sensed the change in Yuan Ming's aura, and was envious and shocked at the same time.

"It was just a lucky breakthrough. Fellow Daoist Cui's cultivation has also made great progress." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"How can the middle and late stages of foundation building be compared? My talent is mediocre and I rely on external forces to assist me. I can't compare with you, Daoist Yuan." Cui Wuran shook his head and said.

"Daoist Cui, you are too kind." Yuan Ming smiled slightly.

At this moment, a bearded man came over from the stone table where the task was handed in. He stopped a few feet away, glanced at Yuan Ming, and said to Cui Wuran: "Daoist Cui, the matter has been dealt with. Shall we leave now?"

"Daoist Cui seems to have something to do. I won't bother you two and say goodbye first." Yuan Ming had a good impression of Cui Wuran, but he had something to do right now and didn't want to talk to him more, so he took the opportunity to say.

"It's a coincidence that Daoist Shi of Huoyuan Sect and I have invited a few friends and are preparing to hold a small exchange meeting. If Daoist Yuan is free, why don't you go and take a look together?" Cui Wuran invited.

"Exchange meeting? That's good." Yuan Ming's expression moved, revealing an interested look.

Exchange meetings are common gatherings among cultivators, where they discuss their cultivation experiences and the situation in the world of immortal cultivation. Sometimes they also trade things they don’t need.

Yuan Ming has heard of such activities since he entered the world of immortal cultivation, but he has never participated in such activities. It would be good to see them now.

Upon hearing this, the bearded man just looked at Yuan Ming coldly, with a bit of arrogance in his expression, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Cui Wuran’s invitation to Yuan Ming.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming naturally did not intend to take the initiative to greet the bearded man. Judging from his aura, this person should be in the middle stage of foundation building.

However, he has heard of the Huoyuan Sect from time to time. Isn’t it the sect that Wu Lu was ordered to sneak into and steal the skills before, and then appeared at the auction?

Seeing this, Cui Wuran introduced them to each other and said some words to ease the atmosphere, while taking the two away from the Huwei Sanmeng station.
