Chapter 98: Exploring the Island in the Mist Again

The middle-aged deacon took the waistband handed over by Yuan Ming with a complicated expression, turned around and entered the room again, and then took out a rough notebook with a gray-brown animal skin cover.

After Yuan Ming took it, he immediately went to find a place to read it.

This time, he read faster, but because of the rich content, it took him more than an hour to finish reading it all.

In this medicinal collection handbook of the Second Cave Master, he found descriptions of black scale fruit and Yin Marrow Liquid as he wished. The former is a black fruit that grows on some shady cliffs in Shiwan Mountain.

The latter requires spinal fluid extracted from specific poisonous insects, which are special spiritual materials used to refine elixirs.

The elixirs and spiritual materials recorded in this handbook are even rarer, and are naturally one level higher than those in "Herborist Collection", which greatly enriches Yuan Ming's knowledge in this area.

After he returned the letter, he left Guizang Pavilion with the middle-aged deacon's puzzled eyes and sigh.

Coincidentally, on the way back to Huolian Hall, Yuan Ming saw a familiar figure in the distance, it was Wulu.

The latter also noticed him and instead of avoiding him, he took the initiative and walked towards him.

"Brother Yuan, long time no see." Wu Lu took the initiative to clasp his fists with a smile on his face.

"Brother Wulu, why are you here?" Yuan Ming glanced around and didn't see Kun Tu.

"Oh, I just came back from a mission and was about to return to the Beast Taming Hall. Let's go for a walk?" Ulu said with a smile on his face.

Yuan Ming nodded, and the two of them walked side by side towards the Fire Hall and the Beast Taming Hall.

"Speaking of which, I really envy Brother Yuan. He is so lucky to be appreciated by the Lord of the Third Cave." Wu Lu took the initiative to speak.

"Compared to me, you are more curious. Why did you suddenly enter the Biluo Cave?" Yuan Ming smiled and did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject and brought the topic to the other party.

The last time he saw the other party, he was still with Kuntu. There were some topics that he was not comfortable talking about and did not want to talk about.

Wulu did not hide anything, and said frankly: "Kuntu quite appreciates me. After he became an inner disciple, he used his power to take me as a servant and follow him around as a lackey."

Hearing the term "dog-legged", Yuan Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"I just heard that you came back from a mission. Normally... the servants at the Execution Hall shouldn't be able to accept missions, right?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.

Hearing this question, Ulu obviously paused.

He looked around and found that there was no one else around, then he heard Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming was a little surprised by his sudden move, but he didn't dodge and instead put his ear close to it.

"This is not the mission of the Execution Hall, but the mission of the Beast Slave Hall." Ulu said in a lowered voice.

The mission of the Beast Slave Hall?

Yuan Ming was confused for a while, but then he immediately realized what he was doing.

"You mean the mission to capture the savages?" Yuan Ming asked.

"You know?" Ulu said in surprise.

"Haha, Brother Wulu, have you forgotten, how did we become furry beast slaves?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.

Ulu slapped his forehead and said suddenly: "I almost forgot, weren't we captured together with the savages? Speaking of which, it seems that only the two of us are still alive."

After hearing this, Yuan Ming vaguely felt something was awkward, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"No, there is also that guy with two spiritual roots. If I remember correctly, his name seems to be Yiguo?" Yuan Ming said.

"Yes, there is him... However, his situation is different from ours. I'm afraid he is already an inner disciple now." Ulu said with some regret.

"Why did you take the mission from the Beast Slave Hall?" Yuan Ming asked.

He has not forgotten that Silver Cat asked him to find out the reason why the wild man was captured in Biluo Cave.

"Kun Tu told me to find a way to turn me into a registered disciple." Wulu said.

"He really values ​​you." Yuan Ming said.

"Just raise a useful dog." Ulu said with a self-deprecating smile.

"I was curious when I was arrested, why do you think they arrested these savages?" Yuan Ming asked tentatively.

Wulu took a deep look at Yuan Ming, seemed to hesitate a little, and asked: "Isn't it just to choose the beast slave?"

"But there's no need to kill all the savages who don't have spiritual roots, right?" Yuan Ming asked.

"I don't know about that." Ulu shook his head.

After saying that, he looked at Yuan Ming with a smile and said, "If you really want to find out, you might as well go to the Beast Slave Hall to accept the task. The reward is quite high."

"I just asked casually, I don't have that much time now." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. They each said goodbye and left in the direction of the two peaks.

…

In the days that followed, Yuan Ming began to practice hard on the wooden prison technique and the wooden concealment technique.

The first level of Ming Yue Jue has been completed. With the blessing of the powerful soul, it only took him half a month to initially master the two spells.

At night, the cool moonlight shines in through the window.

Yuan Ming performed the Ming Yue Jue, slowly closed his eyes, and opened his eyes.

Since the first level of Ming Yue Jue was completed and continued to practice, the growth of soul power has slowed down significantly, and it has completely stopped in the past two days.

"It seems that the practice of Ming Yue Jue has reached a bottleneck. Perhaps the four spiritual materials that Silver Cat asked me to find are the ones that can break through the bottleneck? We must get them together as soon as possible." He murmured to himself.

Yuan Ming did not get up, but used his energy to check the mana status.

Since he found out the property of the Nine Yuan Jue, he would try to find a place with lush vegetation every day. His practice speed has returned to its previous state, and his mana has improved rapidly. He is not far from the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Catching a beast is not as difficult as killing a beast, and there will even be many emergencies. Although Yuan Ming has many methods, his level of Qi Refining at the fifth level is a bit low among the registered disciples. It would be best if he could break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

With the extraordinary practice speed of the Nine Yuan Jue, he can reach the sixth level of Qi Refining in another month, but the preparations for taming the beast are all done. Waiting for a month is really a waste of time.

Yuan Ming gritted his teeth in his heart and took out a juicy fairy peach, which was the red peach picked from the island in the mist.

He had already found out that this peach was called the Red Core Spirit Peach, a rare spiritual fruit for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence. Judging from its appearance, it is almost a hundred years old. It can be used to refine pills, or it can be swallowed directly like the meat Ganoderma lucidum.

With his current status and position, he naturally had no channels or capital to refine it into a pill.

Yuan Ming bit the peach and swallowed it in two or three bites.

The flesh quickly turned into a stream of saliva flowing into his stomach, and a rich spiritual power flowed around his body.

Yuan Ming closed his eyes and operated the Nine Yuan Jue to absorb this spiritual power, and the fluctuation of his magic power gradually increased.

A day and a night passed quickly.

Yuan Ming's breath suddenly rose, his clothes moved without wind, and the air around him also flowed and vibrated. It took a while to return to calm.

He opened his eyes and smiled.

The red core spiritual peach, which was nearly a hundred years old, was indeed powerful. Even if it was not refined into a pill, the abundant spiritual energy contained in it also surprised him, and directly allowed him to break through the sixth level of Qi Refining as he wished.

In this way, the confidence and self-protection power to subdue the spirit beast were more sufficient.

On the second day, Yuan Ming said hello to Fang Ge, then applied for the token of leaving the sect and left Biluo Cave.

If the disciples of Biluo Cave want to tame spirit beasts by themselves, they will go to the depths of Shiwan Mountain to find them, where there are many fierce beasts and they can find suitable targets.

However, the depths of Shiwan Mountain are too big, and to find a suitable spirit beast, you can only rely on luck. Many people may not find the desired beast after searching for months. It is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also very dangerous.

For this reason, most disciples buy their spirit beasts from the Taming Beast Hall, and few people choose to find them by themselves.

However, Yuan Ming is not worried about this. When he asked the Third Cave Master for advice on the art of taming beasts, he had already thought about where to find the target, which is the island in the fog.

There are many strange and fierce beasts on that island, and any one of them can be a good spirit beast.

The only trouble is the black water monster around the island, but he is no longer the same as before, and he has prepared some countermeasures.

Yuan Ming left the sect and soon came to the shore of Qianlu Lake.

He did not tie another raft, raised his hand and waved towards the lake, and a small boat appeared and landed on the lake.

This was made by a disciple who was good at handicrafts in the sect that Yuan Ming asked. The speed of sailing in the water is much faster than the previous raft.

He jumped on the boat, paddled, and headed towards the island in the fog.

An hour later, Yuan Ming came to the place where the fog was particularly thick.

Relying on his memory and several times of offering the incense burner to search in the air, he finally found the island in the fog again.

Yuan Ming was lucky this time and did not encounter the black water monster, but for safety reasons, he still put away the boat from a long distance and used the incense burner to fly directly to the island and landed in a purple forest.

"It's not that black pine forest..." He was quite disappointed.

The red core spiritual peach has a significant effect. He originally thought that he could go to the island from the black pine forest and pick all the red core spiritual peaches, but now it seems that it is not possible.

Wait until the matter is done, and then go to find the fruit tree.

Yuan Ming looked around and looked at the purple tree nearby. The leaves of this tree were in the shape of a palm, like maple leaves, and exuded a faint fragrance.

During this period, he had learned a lot about the Hundred Thousand Mountains, including the trees and vegetation there. He had never seen these purple maple trees in the classics, nor the black pine trees before.

Yuan Ming looked at other plants and trees, and they were all unfamiliar.

"This island is quite strange. The vegetation seems to be completely out of the place of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Is it because it is surrounded by water?" He muttered to himself.

Yuan Ming did not enter the island immediately, but first found a safe place in the maple forest, completely restored his magic power, and then headed towards the island.

There seemed to be no ferocious beasts in this purple maple forest, and there was no danger until he walked out of the forest.

He continued to move forward, and the fog in front of him became sparse, and an open swamp appeared in front of him. With his eyesight, he could see more than ten feet away.

The swamp was full of blue-black silt. Looking up, there were lush aquatic plants everywhere, and occasionally there were a few trees standing tall, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.
