Chapter 474: Opportunity to Return to the Void
Hongzhi Island residence.
Yuan Ming closed his eyes and practiced his skills, absorbing the power of his wishes.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and showed a hint of joy.
After this period of practice, the soul power lost from the previous use of the "Soul-Splitting and Combining Pill Technique" was finally recovered.
He did not continue practicing, but took out more than a dozen materials, which were all auxiliary materials for making the "poppy poppy" incense.
Yan Siyun also bought the last two auxiliary spiritual materials needed by "Poppy Poppy" for him and just sent them over.
Yuan Ming took out the red flower and carefully opened the stamen shell, and a pink mist overflowed.
He immediately moved his hands, and a blue light covered the pink mist, preventing it from spreading.
The powder mist seemed to be able to penetrate mana and quickly penetrated the green light. Yuan Ming's body became hot, and a ball of fire seemed to be ignited in his lower abdomen. His desire was rising. He couldn't help but recall some erotic novels he had read when he was a boy, and his recent bald head. The scene of a man and a woman having sex in the priest's photographic instrument.
"This beauty flower is indeed well-deserved. It can have such aphrodisiac effects even before it is made into a spiritual incense. If it is made into a spiritual incense and activated by the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, even the Nascent Soul stage monks will inevitably fall prey to it." Yuan Mingbu said. Surprised instead of happy, he murmured.
Yuan Ming ran the Jiuyuan Jue to suppress the body once, and at the same time took out a gourd-shaped magic weapon and sent out a suction force to absorb all the pink mist.
He took out a set of high-end incense-making equipment and began to make poppies.
The grade of poppy is far superior to Qingxuanxiang, Zixuanxiang, etc. This is the first time Yuan Ming has made such a high-grade spiritual incense, so he is very careful.
With his powerful spiritual consciousness and his previous experience in making incense, he finally made three poppies without making any mistakes.
Yuan Ming put away the three poppies and the incense-making utensils, entered the space of Stealing Heaven Cauldron, and his spiritual consciousness fell along the anchor point of Xu Che's wish.
At this moment, Xu Che was taking nearly a thousand followers of the Mingyue Sect on a huge boat, slowly sailing along a river in the Zhao Kingdom towards the Jin Kingdom.
Xu Che only led a small number of believers. With the investment of a large amount of resources, the Mingyue Sect has now developed nearly 10,000 loyal followers in the Black Wind Desert, and has begun to move south.
After Xu Che and Yuan Ming discussed, they divided the believers into more than a dozen groups, some by water and some by land, and moved to various parts of the Jin Kingdom. Xu Che led the first group.
The Black Wind Desert war is about to begin. There are many immortal cultivators and mortals migrating south, and the group is not conspicuous.
To Yuan Ming's surprise, because of the Wuyue Sect's comeback, the casual cultivators in the Black Wind Desert were in panic. Xu Che took the opportunity to win over and gained more than a dozen immortal cultivators, one of whom was a well-known talisman master.
In order to get these people to join the Ming Yue Sect wholeheartedly, Yuan Ming invested a lot of resources, and the great migration of tens of thousands of people also cost a lot of money. Although Xu Che sold all the ores in Qiao Saibei Village, he still had a lot of money. There was a gap, so he had to ask Yuan Ming for help.
"These are the resources we just raised. Keep them." Yuan Ming said to Xu Che, took out a bulging storage bag, activated the altar array, and dropped it in front of Xu Che.
"Thank you, Lord." Xu Che thanked him, feeling a little more guilty in his heart, feeling that he could only keep asking for more.
The Lord entrusted the believers in the Black Wind Desert to him, but he failed to take good care of them and asked the Lord to provide resources to support them.
"Is this the influence of the soul descending rune? It makes people gradually forget themselves and focus on those who believe in it?" Yuan Ming noticed Xu Che's thoughts and secretly sighed at the tyranny of Wuyue Sect's secret techniques.
He didn't have a deep understanding of the soul descending runes, so he used them according to the gourd's instructions, and was helpless against the effects of the runes gradually eroding his mind.
Even if Yuan Ming has the ability to change, he doesn't plan to take action. Selfless soul descending believers are much easier to manage than ordinary believers, and they don't have to worry about betrayal.
"When all the believers are settled, you take all the immortal cultivators and believers to the East China Sea." Yuan Ming said.
He was prepared to promise huge profits and turn all those believers into soul-succession believers.
If someone is unwilling, Yuan Ming will not force it. Anyway, he has spare gloves and can just delete the memory of his coming to the East China Sea without exposing his position.
"Yes." Xu Che agreed.
Yuan Ming encouraged Xu Che a few words, withdrew his consciousness and looked at the altar formation.
He had been communicating closely with Xu Che in the past few days, and in order to win over the new immortal cultivators, he had sent items there several times.
The silver spar in the altar circle is no longer as bright as before, and a lot of the space power inside is consumed.
"It seems that the method of transmitting items must be used with care. The cost of replenishing the space power in the silver crystal is too high." Yuan Ming thought to himself and left the space of the Tianthioding Cauldron.
At this moment, a knock on the door came from outside.
"Come in." Yuan Ming put away the Heaven Stealing Cauldron and said.
A female disciple from Hongzhi Island opened the door and walked in, saluting Yuan Ming: "Senior Yuan, the owner of the island asks you to come over."
This girl was eighteen or nineteen years old, with picturesque facial features, pure and lovely, and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes looking at Yuan Ming, which was soul-stirring. She was wearing a tight pink skirt, which perfectly showed off her curvy body curves.
Since Yuan Ming won yesterday, Bishuirou has been extremely enthusiastic towards him. Tea, water, spiritual fruits are all supplied according to the highest standards, and the girl in pink skirt is even transferred to Yuan Ming as a maid at his disposal.
Yuan Ming vaguely remembered this girl, who seemed to be Bi Shuirou's direct disciple, and her name was Lian'er.
"What's going on?" He asked calmly without even looking at the girl in the pink skirt.
"Lian'er doesn't know, but the envoy from Fuso Island came here not long ago, and it should be related to the upcoming competition." The girl in the pink skirt was disappointed, but did not show it, and said respectfully.
Yuan Ming's eyes moved, he stood up and walked outside, and soon came to the living room.
Bishuirou and Xiying stood here.
"Yuan Daoyou, Fusang Island has sent the content of the next competition." Bishuirou handed over a red jade slip, and her tone unconsciously carried a hint of respect.
Yuan Ming took the jade slip, immersed his consciousness in it, and his face soon sank.
The content of the jade slip was not much, and it mainly said two things. One was that the next competition would be participated by the winner of the third round, and no one else could be replaced.
The second was that the next sixteen people would no longer fight in the ring, but would work together to venture into a secret realm, and the ranking of the sixteen people would be determined by the harvest in the secret realm.
That secret realm was in the deepest part of the East China Sea, close to the overseas world, and could only be reached by the ancient teleportation array of Fusang Island.
There was nothing wrong with entering the secret realm, but a rule on the jade slip made Yuan Ming quite angry: all the top sixteen people must enter the secret realm, otherwise they would be regarded as giving up, and Fusang Island would take back the red mulberry fairy fruit and replace it with other resource rewards.
Yuan Ming has already entered the top sixteen, and he was not interested in continuing. If the next competition was dangerous, he would try to fool around. Anyway, all they needed was a red mulberry fairy fruit.
Now the rules have changed, and it is not possible not to participate in the secret realm.
"In the past, there have been such many people competing in the fairy fruit meeting. The competition method that determines the ranking by the results is generally not dangerous." Bishuirou saw Yuan Ming's ugly expression and hurriedly said softly.
Yuan Ming said nothing, as if he had not heard it.
"I immediately inquired after receiving the news. This secret realm has just been born not long ago, but there were signs a few years ago, which were very grand. Fellow Daoist Yuan must have heard the rumor that the Three Fairy Islands in the East China Sea were born. In fact, it was caused by this secret realm." Bishuirou said again.
"Fellow Daoist Bishui, do you want Yuan to participate in the secret realm competition? Hongzhi Island has entered the top sixteen, and the fame and fortune that should be earned have been obtained. If you covet more, it will be self-inflicted." Yuan Ming glanced at the beautiful island owner and said.
In the past few days, he learned more about the Fairy Fruit Conference from Yan Siyun. The benefits of getting a good ranking in the Fairy Fruit Conference are not just a red mulberry fairy fruit.
Every Fairy Fruit Conference is a good opportunity to show the strength of the island and intimidate the opponent.
Many islands participating in the conference are more for the latter.
Hongzhi Island defeated the first-class islands and entered the top sixteen, which made it famous. Many second-class islands with average friendships came to flatter it. As for islands like Luoshan Island that were at odds with Hongzhi Island, they were even more frightened and saw the people of Hongzhi Island like mice seeing a cat.
If Yuan Ming could achieve some more results in the secret realm competition, Hongzhi Island would benefit more.
Bishuirou was indeed calculating in this regard. When Yuan Ming directly pointed it out to her, her face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
However, this woman carefully recalled Yuan Ming's words, especially the sentence of asking for trouble. The heart that was a little flattered by others in the past two days gradually became sober.
The achievements of Hongzhi Island all rely on the combat power of Yuan Ming and Xiying.
Yuan Ming and the other two are not disciples of Hongzhi Island. Although they are on good terms with Hongzhi Island now, they may leave at any time, and may never return to the East China Sea.
It's okay in the short term, but over time, other forces will be able to see the strengths and weaknesses of Hongzhi Island. How can they stop taking advantage of the benefits Hongzhi Island has earned now? At that time, all will be vomited out, and if things go wrong, there will even be a disaster of extermination.
"Thank you for your advice, Yuan Daoyou. I am indeed a little greedy. If Yuan Daoyou is unwilling to participate, I will never force you." Bishuirou was shocked and sweated coldly, and bowed.
Yuan Ming didn't pay much attention to Bishuirou, and pondered in silence.
In order to break through the Nascent Soul in the future, he must get a red mulberry fairy fruit no matter what.
Although it is abominable that Fusang Island changed the rules without authorization, the red mulberry fairy fruit is someone else's thing after all, and they can only act according to this rule. It seems that this secret realm has to go.
Yuan Ming looked at Xiying next to him, but saw Xiying drinking tea leisurely next to him, and seemed to not care about this at all.
He smiled bitterly and turned to Bishuirou: "Fellow Daoist Bishui, you just said that this secret realm is related to the rumor of the Three Immortal Islands that spread to the Central Plains?"
"It is said that the sign of the secret realm is that there are three phantoms of sacred mountains, which are very similar to the Three Immortal Islands that spread in the East China Sea." Bishuirou said.
"I have heard some rumors about the Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea before, but I don't know much about the specific situation. I wonder if fellow Daoist Bishui can elaborate on it?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Of course, the Three Immortal Islands are the most widely circulated legends in the East China Sea. They are Penglai Fairy Island, Lan Ke Fairy Island, and Jinkui Fairy Island. It is said that they were built by three Return to the Void masters, and they contain the opportunity to break through the Return to the Void period." Bishuirou said hurriedly.
"Return to the Void opportunity..." Yuan Ming muttered to himself.
