Celestial being

Yuan Ming re-sealed the mechanism of the foundry stone chamber, and blocked the door of the cave with a large stone. Then he looked around, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes. The demon on the other side never appeared.

The Earth Demon is different from the previous lion-scale beasts. It contains a piece of earth stone in its body, which can be used to refine some earth-escape treasures, which are valuable.

He continued to swim upstream along the stream and soon reached the black pine forest.

Yuan Ming knew nothing about the black giant crow and didn't know if there were any spiritual materials on his body that could be harvested. He didn't want to provoke it rashly, so he used the Wood Hidden Technique to hide his tracks and carefully crossed the pine forest.

He was lucky today. He didn't encounter the giant black crow and successfully arrived at the area where the four-eyed golden ape was.

The last time he encountered the red-core peach tree was purely by chance. At this moment, he couldn't remember where the peach tree was, so he had to continue to maintain the wood concealment technique and try to look around.

"Quack..." Suddenly, the black toad lying on Yuan Ming's shoulder murmured a few times.

Yuan Ming was stunned and stopped.

Because Black Toad sent a somewhat vague message through mind-to-mind contact, which roughly meant that there was a bloody smell ahead.

The purple-black demonic vine can suck blood and is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.

Yuan Ming slowly approached in the direction pointed by Hei Chan, and soon came to a piece of lush grass in the distance. He stretched out his hand to push away the weeds, and his expression changed slightly.

Two tall corpses were lying here, one of them was a four-eyed golden ape, and the other was a black giant crow.

There was a big hole in the chest of the four-eyed golden ape, which was obviously a fatal injury. It looked like it should have been caused by a weapon such as a sword.

In addition to the chest wound, the Golden Ape's four eyes were also gouged out, leaving only four bloody holes.

The black giant crow also died after his chest was pierced by a sharp blade. The crow's claws and head were chopped off, but there was no trace around. It was obviously taken away by someone.

"No wonder I didn't encounter the black giant crow just now. It turned out that they had been killed. Judging from the wounds, the four-eyed golden ape and the black giant crow were both killed by monks! Others have been here!" Yuan Ming muttered to himself.

He was not surprised that others found this place.

If you can find this island, others can too.

Judging from the wound condition of the four-eyed golden ape, the ape was killed not long ago, only within two or three days.

The four-eyed golden ape had no other wounds except its chest and eyes. Those four eyes were most likely dug out afterward. The same was true for the black giant crow, which had only one fatal wound.

There are no signs of fighting around, which means that the four-eyed golden ape and the black giant crow were both killed by one blow, which is probably impossible for the monks in the Qi refining stage.

Yuan Ming felt a little scared. Most of the people who cultivated immortals had blood on their hands. This island was rich in resources, and Master Heimu's cave. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a treasure house. If that person discovered his traces, 80% of them will be killed casually and silenced.

Yuan Ming suppressed his anxiety, hurriedly called to Hei Chan and headed towards the lake.

Although he didn't know if that person had left, he had to leave quickly.

Not far away, the trees in front suddenly became sparse, and a peach tree stood quietly in the open space. It was the red-core peach.

Yuan Ming's heart skipped a beat. He had planned to leave, but he didn't expect to find this tree by accident.

But when he took a closer look, all the joy on his face disappeared.

Only the peach leaves were left on the peach tree, and all the spiritual peaches were gone. Most likely they were picked by the man who killed the four-eyed golden ape.

Yuan Ming sighed secretly and quickly arrived at the lake without any delay.

He used the previous method, first flying away with the incense burner, as far away from the island as possible to avoid the monster in the water, and then left in a small boat.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively calm and we did not encounter the black water monster.

After getting away from the island, although the surroundings were still filled with white mist, Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Once here, it's basically safe.

"Who will be the person who is one step ahead of me? An elder from Biluo Cave, or someone from another sect?" He murmured to himself.

Qianlu Lake is the closest to the Biluodong Sect, and people from other sects are unlikely to come here.

If it's an elder from Biluo Cave, he should be careful and don't come again if he can.

Master Kuroki's cave, although he covered the entrance of the cave, the level of disguise could be seen through at a glance. Although he took away most of the things in the cave, the casting furnace was still there.

Those who are familiar with Master Blackwood may be able to find clues from the forge. It would be too dangerous to come to this island again.

"Anyway, the spirit beast has been subdued. If it doesn't come, it won't come." Yuan Ming secretly made up his mind.

He took out a compass, determined the direction, and arrived at the land near the lake in half a day.

Yuan Ming adjusted his breath in a secluded place by the lake. His magic power quickly recovered completely, and he got up and returned to the sect.

In the next two days, he didn't go out. He worked honestly in Huofang and practiced step by step.

Everything in the sect was calm as usual, and there was nothing unusual in Huofang.

He deliberately paid attention to Fang Ge, Chen Wan and others, but they did not behave abnormally.

Yuan Ming was quite surprised. If Master Blackwood's cave really appeared, the place in Huofang would not be so peaceful, let alone other places.

"It seems that I guessed wrong. Maybe that person didn't notice, or maybe he wasn't the elder of Biluodong at all?" Yuan Ming thought to himself, feeling relaxed in his heart.

The matter of the spiritual beasts has come to an end, and now we have to start searching for the other three spiritual materials besides the black scale fruit.

…

Three days later, Toad Valley.

Yuan Ming, who had not been here for a long time, looked at the desolate scene in the valley and felt a little dazed for a while.

Speaking of which, it wasn't too long since he was freed from his status as a furry beast slave, but looking back on those days now, it felt like he was in another world.

He came to the door of a stone house with ease and saw Zhao Tong with his legs crossed and leaning on a recliner.

He was holding a rather large thread-bound book in his hand. On the blue-gray cover, there was a beautiful line drawing drawn with dark golden lines, and "Nuan Ge Wen Yu" was written in Chinese characters next to it.

"This is a hardcover illustrated edition. It cost a lot of contribution points, right?" Yuan Ming asked.

The book slowly descended, and a smiling face appeared behind it: "Hey, what's up? You're enlightened, how knowledgeable are you?"

"That is to say, there is no rule in the Law and Regulations Hall against reading pornographic books, otherwise you, a disciple of the Law and Regulations Hall, will be the first to be punished." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"It's okay, I won't run here. Tell me, why are you looking for me?" Zhao Tong sat up and asked.

"I want to buy something from you." Yuan Ming said.

"What?" Zhao Tong frowned.

"Grimaceous grass, purple core pollen and yin marrow liquid." Yuan Ming said.

"You want to make an elixir?" Zhao Tong asked doubtfully.

"Just tell me if there is any?" Yuan Ming did not explain.

"There are a lot of Grimace Grass, Purple Core Pollen... It seems that there is still some stock from what I collected earlier. As for Yin Marrow Liquid, I don't have it here, but you may be able to buy it at the Furnace Hall." Zhao Tong thought for a while and said .

"Quote a price." Yuan Ming said simply.

"Both Grimace Grass and Purple Core Pollen are not very rare things. You can exchange one for each with two contribution points." Zhao Tong said.

"I knew it..." Yuan Ming twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

"What do you know?" Zhao Tong asked doubtfully.

"I went to the Furnace Hall before. Guess how these two things were sold?" Yuan Ming said.

"According to the virtue of those guys, it should be at least doubled." Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"If you want me to contribute five points, it means that the season for collecting purple core pollen has passed. Otherwise, I will go look for these two things in the mountains and get them all." Yuan Ming said with some annoyance.

"Based on the time, I can't guarantee that among the purple-core pollen they sell, you collected it earlier." Zhao Tong smiled even happier.

"There is no Yin Marrow Liquid in the Refining Furnace Hall... Do you have any other options? Can you get it?" Yuan Ming put away his smile and said seriously.

Zhao Tong rubbed his chin with his hand, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Elder Wumeng of our Law Hall asked me to run errands to buy Yin Marrow Liquid for him before. He may still have some stock there, I can help you ask."

"Seriously?" Yuan Ming was overjoyed.

"Don't be too happy too early. That was half a year ago. It's hard to say whether it is available or not. Even if it is available, I'm afraid the price will not be low." Zhao Tong said with a smile.

"You can ask for help first." Yuan Ming said.

"We will meet again in three days and we will find out if there is any." Zhao Tong said.

"It takes three days?" Yuan Ming frowned.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Zhao Tong's curiosity was aroused again.

"Preparing the medicine for body refining." Yuan Ming made up an excuse casually.

"No wonder." Zhao Tong sighed, not doubting that he was there.

After the two separated, as soon as Yuan Ming returned to Huolian Hall, he saw Chen Wan running towards him in a hurry.

As soon as I arrived, I heard her frowning and asking, "Where have you gone?"

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Yuan Ming said in surprise when he heard this.

"Where's Huo Gan'er? Are you here?" Chen Wan stared at the spirit beast bag on his waist and asked.

"That guy ran away again?" Yuan Ming frowned.

"Isn't it here with you? Master had something to do today, so he entrusted it to me to take care of it for a long time. As a result, Greedy ran away not long after she left." Chen Wan said with a disappointed look on her face and an urgent tone.

"Don't worry, I'll go back and see if it's at my place?" Yuan Ming said.

"I'm with you." Chen Wan said quickly.

"good."

The two quickly returned to Yuan Ming's residence.

As soon as she opened the door, Chen Wan saw a thick pile of white paper on the table and a mountain of paper balls next to the table.

She had known for a long time that Yuan Ming had completed the embryo refining and was learning how to draw talismans with senior brother Amuhe, but she did not expect that Yuan Ming had already practiced so much.

In addition to the white paper on the table, there are also many drawn runes, which look quite charming at first glance.

She didn't expect that the unassuming furry beast slave at the beginning was now almost catching up with her.

Naturally, Yuan Ming didn't know what she was thinking. He rummaged around the room and uncovered the pile of paper balls, but found no trace of Huo Greedy'er inside.

At this moment, his eyes noticed that there were a few messy little footprints on a piece of white paper on the table next to the window, and they were those of Huo Chan'er.
