Chapter 453 Red Mulberry Fairy Fruit

Yuan Ming endured the heart-wrenching pain, kept his mind focused, and began to communicate with the Heaven Stealing Cauldron.

After a while, a heat flow came out of the cauldron, split into two and merged into two groups of souls.

The main soul and the split soul, which were originally trembling, were calmed down, the agitated soul power quickly stabilized, and the pain that made people crazy was greatly reduced.

Yuan Ming felt a little relieved. The heat flow of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron was indeed very effective in repairing the injuries of the soul. The most difficult level had been passed.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to sit up cross-legged, and continued to pinch the formula quickly.

The split split soul quickly stabilized, and Yuan Ming's appearance in the light group became clearer and clearer, and it was also connected with the five senses and six consciousnesses of the main soul.

After half a day, Yuan Ming walked out of the house with a pale face, but his expression was full of excitement.

This time, the "Soul Splitting and Pill Combining Art" was very smooth. He has now split a completely concentric split soul, laying a solid foundation for breaking through the Nascent Soul in the future.

Zuo Qinghui followed him out of the inner room, his eyes were lively, and it was obvious that there was another soul controlling it.

The soul that was controlled in Zuo Qinghui's body was the third soul that had just been split through the "Soul Splitting and Pill Combining Art".

Although this soul has stabilized, it still needs to practice the Dark Moon Art to be completely stable.

"I'll leave it to you from now on." Yuan Ming said to Zuo Qinghui.

He planned to leave Zuo Qinghui and the third soul in Changqingdao. Zuo Qinghui's clone had low potential, and it was useless to keep it with him. It would be better to leave it to protect his parents.

With Zuo Qinghui's foundation-building cultivation, plus the soul and a large number of magic tools and talismans left by Yuan Ming, he could temporarily fight against the Jindan cultivators, and there would be no problem in protecting his parents.

In addition, this third soul also needs time to rest, and Changqingdao is just the right place.

"You and I are of one mind, why bother saying such things, leave the two elders' affairs to me." Zuo Qinghui said, and a yellow light flashed on his body, and he disappeared into the ground.

Yuan Ming closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, absorbing the power of will to restore his soul. His pale face quickly recovered and he came to the main hall outside.

Yuan Zuochong and Yuan's mother were already waiting here. They knew that Yuan Ming was about to leave.

"Father, mother, I am unfilial and cannot stay with you two elders for a long time." Yuan Ming said sadly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if it is a young eagle, it will leave the nest after growing up and aim to soar in the sky. Ming'er, you have created your own sky. How can you always accompany us two old people?" Yuan Zuochong said.

"Ming'er, you have been here with us for a year. We are already very satisfied. Go and do your own things. Come back when you have the opportunity in the future." Yuan's mother touched Yuan Ming's hair lovingly and said.

"Yes, the child will try to get things done as soon as possible and come back to continue to serve you." Yuan Ming said.

"Okay, we are waiting for you to come back soon." Yuan's mother said, tears in her eyes.

"Zuo Qinghui is my clone, hiding here. If you have anything to do, just tell him to do it." Yuan Ming knelt down and kowtowed to the two elders. His figure flashed and disappeared out of thin air.

Yuan Zuochong and his mother looked at the empty ground with a bleak expression.

...

Dragon King City.

After only a year, when Yuan Ming returned here, he saw that the Baidanfang station was very different from the past.

Originally, there was only one high-rise building similar to an inn in the station, but now, closer to the street, another four-story building has risen from the ground, with blue bricks and tiles, and the exterior decoration looks quite simple and elegant.

The original walls and tiles have also been renovated. Although the materials used are not as good as those of the newly built high-rise buildings, the style has become unified.

The new building seems to be used for daily reception. A golden nanmu plaque is hung on the gate, with three large characters "Baidanfang" written on it. It seems to be from the hands of a famous calligrapher. Even with Yuan Ming's calligraphy attainments, there is nothing wrong with it.

When he stepped through the door, he saw that the building was much more spacious than it looked from the outside. The furnishings inside were also simple and elegant. There were many porcelain bottles filled with elixirs on the shelves, and each porcelain bottle had an elixir mark surrounded by flames. Although it could not increase the medicinal power, such uniformity improved the grade of the elixirs sold.

In the store, many shop assistants wearing light blue long gowns with elixir marks embroidered on their chests went back and forth between the shelves, sorting and preparing goods. They looked very busy, but Yuan Ming took a closer look and found that there seemed to be not many customers in the store.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Yuan Ming did not expect the business of Baidanfang to be booming as soon as it opened, but after all, he had invested money. He was a little dissatisfied with the fact that such a large shop had so few customers.

At the same time, the shop assistants also found that there were new customers. Most of them were newly recruited, so they did not recognize Yuan Ming's identity, and one of them also came to greet him.

Before he could speak, Yuan Ming suddenly waved his hand, as if he wanted to browse alone, so he also left tactfully.

However, when Yuan Ming wanted to enter the manor directly, he suddenly realized that the manor was covered by a formation, and the level of the formation seemed to be quite high. Although he could break it, it would inevitably cause some noise.

This practice of separating the shop facing customers from the daily residence made Yuan Ming nod secretly, but when he thought that it was obviously his territory, he couldn't even enter the door after leaving for only a year, he couldn't help but touch his nose.

At this moment, Yuan Ming suddenly saw a girl in white walking out from behind the shop. It was Yan Sijing.

She walked into the store, looked up and saw Yuan Ming, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yuan Daoyou? My sister just said that you might come back in the next few days, and asked me to wait in the store. I didn't expect to meet you by chance." Yan Sijing smiled.

Yuan Ming nodded: "It's really a coincidence. Where is Xiying? Is she still in the manor?"

"Yes, Sister Xiying is practicing in seclusion at her residence. She also told you that if you come back, you can go find her directly."

Yan Sijing took out a token from the storage bag: "Yuan Daoyou, my sister bought a set of formations for protection four months ago. Please keep this entry and exit token."

Yuan Ming accepted the token, and then walked and chatted with Yan Sijing.

"There don't seem to be many customers in the store. Didn't you do any publicity when you opened the store?" Yuan Ming asked.

Yan Sijing felt a little aggrieved when she heard this: "We did promote it, but there are already many shops selling elixirs in Dragon King City. We are new here, with limited resources, and we don't have any special elixirs to show off. We really can't make a name for ourselves. My sister is also worried about this."

Yuan Ming frowned slightly. As Yan Sijing said, the elixir market in Donghai is so small. If you open a shop without any special features, you may be able to maintain a balance between income and expenditure by other means, but it will be difficult to make it bigger and stronger.

Let's not talk about the reasons why Xiying supports Baidanfang. Since Yuan Ming has invested in it, he has a certain period of interest in Baidanfang, so he will naturally not sit idly by.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, please make arrangements later and find a few trustworthy people. They should be smarter. They don't need to know how to make elixirs, but it's better to have some basic skills. I will teach them how to make spiritual incense later. In the future, the store can sell spiritual incense and spiritual elixirs together, which is also a feature." Yuan Ming said so.

"Spiritual incense? I seem to have heard about this thing, but it seems that the effect is not as good as the elixir. Can it really attract customers?" Yan Sijing blinked her beautiful eyes and said with some concern.

"Hehe, people are always greedy for small profits, especially casual cultivators who break a spiritual stone into two pieces. If you say that a pill is sold for ten spiritual stones, he may think it is expensive, but if you say that you give him one more spiritual incense, even if the total cost is less than ten spiritual stones, he will think it is cheap." Yuan Ming smiled.

Yan Sijing nodded thoughtfully, wrote down Yuan Ming's words, and then left in a hurry, preparing to arrange manpower and telling Yan Siyun about Yuan Ming's proposal.

Yuan Ming also quickly came to the room where Xiying lived. Just when he was about to knock on the door, the door opened by itself. Xiying was already sitting at the table, looking at him.

"It's been a long time." Yuan Ming smiled and walked into the room, only to smell a faint fragrance.

"Have your parents settled?" Xiying asked.

Yuan Ming sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea: "Well, I picked an inconspicuous island and left a soul there to protect it. What about you? We should be able to get the spiritual material, right?"

"Almost done, we can set off tomorrow." Xiying nodded.

"Where is the specific location?" Yuan Ming asked with a change of expression.

"Do you remember the Fusang sacred tree mentioned in the intelligence you read last time? The spiritual material we want is the red mulberry fairy fruit on the sacred tree. This fruit is full of treasures, whether it is the flesh, the core, or the stem, it can even be used as a material for refining Yuanying stage elixirs, and the fruit matures once every three hundred years, and only twenty-one fruits are produced each time, which is extremely precious." Xiying said slowly.

"Such a sacred object should have many people vying for it, and I'm afraid they are all Yuanying stage cultivators. It seems that if you want to get it, you have to spend some effort." Yuan Ming frowned.

"That's not entirely true. Since the Fusang sacred tree is occupied by Fusang Island and is guarded by the Golden Crow, it is impossible for other islands to obtain it by force. They can only obtain it through exchange of interests. Fusang Island has therefore prospered for thousands of years." Xiying said.

"How is the exchange method? Tell me about it." Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"After all, the red mulberry fairy fruit is limited. Over time, a routine has been formed. Every three hundred years, when the red mulberry fairy fruit matures, Fusang Island will hold a fairy fruit conference and call on the East China Sea islands to participate. At the conference, the top sixteen islands will be decided by drawing lots. These islands will all get a red mulberry fairy fruit. Of course, there is still the exchange of interests. What is being fought for is just the qualification." Xiying explained.

Yuan Ming nodded thoughtfully: "In other words, as long as we can get into the top 16, it will be fine? But it seems that we need to participate in the Fairy Fruit Conference in the name of the island. What identity should we participate in? In addition, will Yuanying cultivators also participate?"

"Don't worry about this. Although the Fairy Fruit Conference only allows the East China Sea islands to participate, it does not require the contestants on stage to be the direct disciples of the island. In addition to Yuanying cultivators, each island can send cultivators to the stage at will, but one person can only play one game, and no matter whether he wins or loses, he cannot go on stage to fight again." Xiying said with a smile.

"That's not bad." Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

(There are too many things during this period, Wangyu will try to ensure stable updates)
