Chapter 341 Meeting in Zilei City
Yuan Ming calmed down, closed his eyes, and continued to explore the changes in his body.
Now his main soul has also moved from the sea of consciousness to the dantian with the change of the position of the soul pill, but his body did not feel any obvious discomfort.
The first soul is still in the sea of consciousness at this moment. Now the sea of consciousness is empty, so Yuan Ming asked this soul to continue to practice the Huanxin Jue to refine the willpower and transform it into soul power.
Just now, in order to condense the soul pill, the first soul lost a lot of soul power. Yuan Ming merged half of the refined willpower into the soul to let it recover as soon as possible, and then injected the remaining willpower into the sea of consciousness.
The originally empty sea of consciousness slowly became full.
Yuan Ming was still a little worried about this, and continued to practice the Mingyue Jue.
After a day and a night, he felt that his soul power had completely recovered and stabilized, so he was relieved.
Now that the soul pill has been cultivated, the next step is to push the magic power to the peak of foundation building, and at the same time find the spirit liquid for washing the pill, and practice the Yinmai Ningdan Jue to make the final preparations for forming the golden pill.
Yuan Ming pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked out.
He first went to a shop selling elixirs in the city and spent a lot of money to buy a batch of insect pills, enough for him to take for two years.
Then, he went to the outer city and met Xu Che, gave him several magic tools, and asked him to stop managing the mortal believers in Xiansha City and go to Zilei City to find clues about the elixir.
After doing these two things, Yuan Ming returned to his residence and stepped directly into the secret room.
As time passed, everything in Xiansha City was running peacefully. The mortals were still doing the lowest-level jobs in exchange for food and clothing. Every day, they staged scenes of worldly love and hate, sorrow and joy.
The monks also lived a busy life, going to the Black Wind Desert, hunting monsters, looking for spiritual materials, fighting wits and courage with the robbers in the desert, or practicing meditation, all struggling to improve their own strength. No one would pay attention to an ordinary and almost inconspicuous house in the inner city.
Time passed slowly, and a year and a half passed in the blink of an eye.
The tightly closed door of the cave opened, and Yuan Ming walked out with Zuo Qinghui.
Yuan Ming's eyes were warm and there was a faint fluorescence in his eyes. He looked very different from before.
After more than a year of hard practice, with the help of a large number of insect pills and the assistance of spiritual incense, he has broken through to the peak of the late stage of foundation building.
Zuo Qinghui has also continued to take insect pills to practice for more than a year, and his cultivation has also improved a lot, reaching the middle stage of foundation building.
Yuan Ming did not stop at the door, and took Zuo Qinghui straight out, and soon left the sand trap city.
He sacrificed the white jade shuttle and flew the two of them through the air.
Yuan Ming has already cultivated the hidden veins to condense the pill, and a large amount of mana is sealed in the meridians and can be used at any time to assist in the formation of the pill.
This time he went out for another thing to assist in the formation of the pill.
A day ago, Xu Che also received news that he finally found the clues of the pill washing spirit liquid in Zilei City.
Forming the pill is his top priority at the moment, so Yuan Ming naturally did not dare to be careless and set off immediately.
But before going to Zilei City, he had to go to another place first.
A moment later, the white jade shuttle landed near a hidden valley northwest of Xiansha City.
A figure with arms over the knees was standing in the valley, bathing in the scorching sun and motionless.
On the day when Yuan Ming settled those mortals and returned to Xiansha City, Huazhi left and went to the Black Wind Desert to hunt beasts and practice.
To his surprise, King Kong also proposed to leave later, and also went to the Black Wind Desert to practice alone.
King Kong's body was strong and his strength was extraordinary. Yuan Ming did not worry about his safety. He gave it two earth escape talismans and two evil avoidance talismans, and let it enter the Black Wind Desert.
Yuan Ming controlled the shuttle to fall, and was about to greet King Kong, when a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, King Kong's appearance changed greatly. His head was much smaller, and he looked only as tall as an ordinary person. His bones and muscles were also tougher, and his skin and fur became more colorful, revealing a trace of golden luster, looking like copper cast in gold.
King Kong closed his eyes and made a series of breathing sounds from his mouth and nose, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, hissing, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
Yuan Ming used his spiritual sense to explore King Kong's body, and his face was even more surprised.
King Kong not only changed his body shape, but also underwent earth-shaking changes in his body. All the Yin Qi in his body disappeared, and his muscles, bones, and internal organs became lively, no different from a real monster.
Not only that, its demonic power disappeared, replaced by a stream of air that had never been seen before, filling all parts of its body.
This airflow is somewhat similar to magic power, but it is much more fierce and heavier.
As King Kong breathes, the airflow wanders in his body, leading his internal organs to surge rhythmically, rising and falling, expanding and shrinking, and occasionally making a dull sound, which looks like refining a weapon, hammering the internal organs over and over again.
Streams of burning spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered and poured into King Kong's internal organs.
King Kong's internal organs were extremely strong, no less than his muscles. His body was like a piece of iron from the inside out, giving people an unshakable feeling.
Yuan Ming was shocked. In just over a year, King Kong's body had changed so much. Could it be caused by eating the brass beetle?
"Master, why are you here?" King Kong sensed Yuan Ming's arrival and opened his eyes.
"Xu Che has found the clue to the Danxilingye. I'm here to pick you and Huazhi up. What have you done during this period of time? Why has your body become like this?" Yuan Ming asked.
"I don't know. Since I started eating those brass beetles, my body has become stronger and stronger. Half a year ago, I suddenly remembered a set of breathing exercises to exercise my internal organs, so I started practicing. I became like this without realizing it." King Kong said, scratching his head, looking very confused.
"Use breathing to exercise the internal organs..." Yuan Ming's eyes moved.
He had never heard of this way of exercising the body. It might be a secret method of physical cultivation.
"How do you feel now? How is your combat power compared to before?" Yuan Ming thought for a while and asked.
"I feel very good. Now I am full of strength, and my combat power has naturally improved a lot. If I fight Elder Hai again, I will never lose again!" King Kong said proudly, clenching his fists.
The air next to it suddenly exploded, raising a scorching wave of air.
Yuan Ming saw clearly that the air explosion was caused by the airflow in King Kong's body when he clenched his fists, and the air was suddenly grasped. The power of this airflow was really not small.
"That's good. Let's go and pick up the flower branch." He used the white jade shuttle to carry the three people to the other side of the Black Wind Desert.
After picking up the flower branch, Yuan Ming did not stop and went straight to the direction of Zilei City.
Zilei City is located deep in the Black Wind Desert, not close to Xiansha City. At the speed of the white jade shuttle, it took a day and a night to arrive.
Like Xiansha City, Zilei City is also built underground. The entrance is a huge ground crack several miles long. It is dark and bottomless. Sometimes there are rays of light flying from all directions and flying into the ground crack. There are also many cultivators flying out of the cave. It looks quite lively.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming sighed in his heart that Zilei City is worthy of being the largest city of Zhao State in the Black Wind Desert.
He slowed down and flew into the ground crack.
The further down he went, the larger the area of the ground crack became. The surface entrance above his head was quickly left behind, and the light quickly became dim.
There is light here. There are many purple and yellow mushrooms growing in the soil and rocks on both sides of the crack. They are as big as umbrellas and emit soft light, bringing a hint of light.
Yuan Ming has been in the Black Wind Desert for several years. He has also collected some information about this area. He knows that those mushrooms are called "Spiritual Light Mushrooms". They live in the underground of the Black Wind Desert and survive by absorbing the spiritual power in the underground mineral veins.
The casual cultivators who are looking for mineral veins and spiritual materials often rely on spiritual light mushrooms to hunt for treasures. Wherever the spiritual light mushrooms are lush, there may be mineral veins hidden.
From the current situation, it seems that there are mineral veins in this crack. I wonder if they have been mined.
Just when Yuan Ming was thinking about it, the crack finally reached the bottom.
The terrain at the bottom of the crack is flat, about 20 to 30 miles in size. It looks like a plain, and a towering underground pool stands here.
From a distance, the whole city is surrounded by a huge wall. The wall is built with purple ore. There are seven or eight city gates, some for entry and some for exit. There are tall buildings in the city, which look magnificent and far beyond the city of sand.
I don't know whether there is a lighting ban arranged underground or the protective formation here has its own light effect, making the entire underground as bright as day, almost the same as the ground.
Yuan Ming landed on an open space near the city for monks to take off and land, put away the white jade shuttle, and then took Zuo Qinghui and Jin Gang Huazhi to a nearby city gate.
There were several purple-robed monks standing here, with the Five Thunder Sect's logo embroidered on their collars and cuffs, collecting entrance fees.
Although Jin Gang and Huazhi each wore a cloak to cover their figures and breath, their figures were slightly different from those of ordinary people, and looked quite strange. However, these Five Thunder Sect monks guarding the gate were too lazy to ask more questions, as if anyone could enter the Purple Thunder City as long as they paid spirit stones.
So Yuan Ming paid some spirit stones as required, and entered the city smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
The buildings in Zilei City follow the style of Zhao State. They are tall, simple, majestic, and the streets are wide. There are shops on both sides, selling spiritual materials, elixirs, talismans and other immortal cultivation items.
There are few shops selling elixirs and talismans in Xiansha City, but there are many in Zilei City, which is not inferior to Xiaohu City and Wangyue City. It is obvious that Wulei Sect has spent a lot of effort to manage this place. The streets are crowded and bustling.
"Master, you are here." Near the city gate, in an inconspicuous shadow, a figure came quickly to meet him. It was Xu Che.
He was also wearing a robe that could conceal his breath, and a scarf on his face to cover his appearance.
"What's the situation now?" Yuan Ming asked after retracting his gaze from the surrounding environment.
