Chapter 561 Take Another Look
While Yuan Ming was cultivating, the others were not idle either. They were all practicing in seclusion, hoping to improve their cultivation within a limited time, so as to better cope with the next unknown situation.
But this is in the secret realm after all. Everyone has limited resources. Once they are all used up, it will not be so easy to find them again.
Some spiritual materials that can be seen everywhere outside are hard to find in the secret realm.
Queen Mingkong looked at the crystal-like transparent pipa in front of her, frowned slightly, and a trace of sadness hung on her face.
Her slender jade fingers gently brushed the four strings on the pipa, silently chanting "water, fog, frost, ice" in her heart, but no sound came from the pipa.
She has been refining this Bingpo pipa for many days, but she has never succeeded because she lacks a spiritual material called "Bingpo silk".
In these days, she has tried to use more than ten kinds of spiritual materials as a substitute, but still can't get the result she wants.
"It seems that there is no other way except to find them." Queen Mingkong looked in a direction in the distance and sighed heavily.
After that, she put away the half-finished Bingpo Pipa and stood up to go to the territory of the Tide Riders.
Seeing Queen Mingkong coming, Yuan Wuji stood up first, with a playful smile on his face, and said: "How about it? Our request is not too much."
"I can't accept all the conditions you put forward. I want the entire Biqiao Island to join your Tide Riders Alliance. This is not something I can decide alone. As for me, as long as I can leave Sanxian Island safely, I am willing to join you as an individual." Queen Mingkong frowned and said so.
"Haha, brother, Fellow Daoist Mingkong has a good calculation. He will join us only if he leaves Sanxian Island safely. Then do we brothers have to protect you well?" The Blood Realm Venerable sneered and asked.
"All I want is the Ice Soul Silk. The value of this thing outside is not even as good as a defensive magic weapon. I have already said that if you want me to exchange it with magic weapons or spirit stones, we can talk. Why do you have to force it?" Queen Mingkong said angrily.
"You also said that it was outside. In this secret realm, no matter how many magic weapons or spirit stones you have, you can't exchange for what you want." The Blood Realm Venerable smiled and shook his head.
"Do you really want to make things difficult for me?" Queen Mingkong asked coldly.
"How about this, we also know that you, Daoist Mingkong, have gained a lot since you came to the Three Immortals Island. Why don't you hand over the things you have obtained to us? This can't be considered as making things difficult for you, right?" Yuan Wuji sighed and said.
Hearing this, Queen Mingkong frowned, and then slowly relaxed.
"Humph"
Queen Mingkong knew that they had no sincerity at all, so she just snorted and turned away.
"Brother, do you plan to exchange with her?" Bingli frowned and asked as she looked at her back disappearing into the distance.
"The Bingpo silk is only valuable in this secret realm and in her hands. Of course I want to make a deal. But the thing is in our hands, so there is no need to rush. If she can come a second time, she can come a third time. Every time she comes, it is our exploration of her bottom line." Yuan Wuji said with a smug smile.
"That being said, don't you worry that she will give up and we will end up with nothing?" Bingli asked.
"By the same token, she must have no other choice but to come to us for the second time, which is enough to prove the importance of this thing to her. So, don't worry, she will definitely come again. When we only need to offer a little discount next time, she will definitely come to exchange." Yuan Wuji smiled and shook his head.
"Brother said so, don't worry." The Blood Realm Venerable laughed "Haha".
…
After leaving the Tide-riding Alliance, Queen Mingkong still couldn't suppress her anger, her face was as cold as frost.
"Fellow Daoist Mingkong, what's wrong with you? Why do you look unhappy?" At this time, a questioning voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Queen Mingkong looked over and found that it was Master Bailin who had followed him at some point.
"It's still about the Bingpo silk, those bastards of the Tide-riders..."
Before Queen Mingkong finished her angry words, Master Bailin knew what was going on.
The last time he went to find the Tide-riders with Queen Mingkong, he also had the same spiritual material to buy, but the Tide-riders didn't have it either.
"Why bother with them, why not try your luck with the Lord God's Envoy?" Master Bailin smiled and said.
"Are you talking about Fellow Daoist Yuan, where does he have it?" Queen Mingkong was surprised and asked.
"I don't know if there is any ice soul silk, but in recent days, many people have gone to him to buy spiritual materials or spiritual medicines. Most people can get what they want. Even if they didn't get it at the time, they can almost get what they want after a few days." Master Bai Lin said.
"What does this mean? What you couldn't get at the time, you can get it after a few days? Could it be that he has a channel to communicate with the outside world and can get things from outside the secret realm?" Queen Mingkong was shocked.
"I don't know the details, but I think the same as you." Master Bai Lin said.
"How is this possible? He is just a Jindan cultivator, how could he do it? Does he have a space-related magic weapon? No, the one who can break through the restrictions of the Three Immortal Islands should be at least at the level of a spiritual treasure, right?" Queen Mingkong said in disbelief.
"Of course it is impossible, but if he uses the power of the Dark Moon God, it is hard to say." Master Bai Lin shook his head and pondered.
Hearing this, Queen Mingkong was stunned. If he used the power of the gods, it was really possible.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel guilty. Although she had become a believer of the Dark Moon God, she knew that her mentality was not pious enough.
Despite this, Queen Mingkong still found Yuan Ming and put forward her request.
Yuan Ming hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to her request, and only charged a price slightly higher than the outside price.
This made Queen Mingkong almost dare not believe her ears. Compared with the attitude of the previous tide-riders who took advantage of others' misfortune, Yuan Ming was really kind. She was full of gratitude to Yuan Ming and immediately promised to pray to the Dark Moon God more devoutly.
After Queen Mingkong left, Yuan Ming stood there, pondering in silence.
The reason why he hesitated for a moment was that many people had come to him to buy spiritual materials in the past few days, and many of them needed to contact Yan Siyun through the Stealing Heaven Cauldron to help her collect them.
This back and forth consumed a lot of the space power in the silver crystal in the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, and now there is not much left.
So, he wanted to build a building similar to the Vacuum Palace to attract the power of the stars and help restore the power of the silver crystal in the Stealing Heaven Cauldron. Now the materials have been collected.
Two days later, Yuan Ming built a strange building with a tetrahedral appearance according to the appearance of the Vacuum Palace in his memory.
After the construction of this building was completed, he immediately entered it and began to meditate and practice, trying to attract the power of the stars.
But the result was no reaction, which was almost the same as when he sat in the secret realm. In fact, because of the obstruction of this building, even the attraction of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became much less.
Yuan Ming knew clearly where the problem was. He did not have a clear understanding of the Vacuum Palace. He only knew the general structure. As for some more detailed things, he did not have a full grasp.
"In places like the Vacuum Palace, the forms of construction are all based on sufficient considerations and arrays. Some of them seem ordinary, even a little crude, but in fact, the great way is simple and is connected with nature. It's a pity that when I saw the Vacuum Palace, I didn't study it in detail. I vaguely remember that there are some strange changes in it. I don't know if I can help?" Xiying said after carefully checking the strange building built by Yuan Ming.
"It must be better than my own blind thinking." Yuan Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately asked Xiying for help.
So, the two spent a few more days to renovate this imitation "Vacuum Palace".
When Yuan Ming tried again, he found that after integrating the strange changes and adding some arrays, this strange building was finally no longer an ordinary decoration. When practicing in it, it was already able to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But the star power that Yuan Ming wanted still failed to fall as he wished.
"It still doesn't work. With my understanding of the Vacuum Palace, I'm afraid I can only help you here." Xiying sighed and said helplessly.
"It would be great if I could take another look at the Vacuum Palace." Yuan Ming sighed softly.
It's a pity that the Vacuum Palace is on Fusang Island, which is now occupied by the Wuyue Sect. Even if he wants to contact his believers and ask them to help take a look, it is impossible.
At this moment, Yuan Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration and couldn't help clapping his hands.
A crisp sound of "pa" scared Xiying.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked in surprise.
"I have seen a cloud-top palace on the mainland ruins where the Three Immortals Palace is located. The structure of that palace is quite similar to that of the Vacuum Palace. I can't ask people to help me see the structure of the Vacuum Palace, but I can see the structure of the cloud-top palace." Yuan Ming said happily.
He remembered that he had just contacted Huan Lingzi two days ago, and he was staying near the Three Immortals Palace at this moment.
Yuan Ming immediately contacted Huan Lingzi, who was searching for treasure outside the Sanxian Palace, through the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, and asked him to go to Yunding Palace immediately.
However, half a day later, Huan Lingzi found Yunding Palace.
Fortunately, it was well preserved without much damage, and the various magic arrays arranged inside were basically maintained as they were.
Yuan Ming immediately asked him to carefully observe everything in Yunding Palace and inform him of everything in detail.
