In the following time, Yuan Ming and the little emperor talked about some cultivation experiences and interesting things, and when he was talking about his experience in Biluo Cave, Yuan Ming suddenly remembered a person and asked, "Your Majesty, can you help me inquire about a disciple of Changchun Temple?" ”

When the little emperor heard this, he was curious: "Who is worthy of Brother Ming's special inquiry?" Isn't it a confidante you met outside? ”

Yuan Ming rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What do you think, this person's name is Ma Xingkong, he was originally a disciple of Biluo Cave, and then joined Changchun Temple, so I asked." ”

"Is it a starry sky? I think I've heard of this name, so I'll ask you when I get back. The little emperor agreed.

Yuan Ming also talked about the appearance and personality of the starry sky and some of the past.

After that, the two talked until evening, until they drank all the wine in the altar and the eunuchs guarding outside the pavilion began to urge, and they reluctantly parted.

……

The tribute wine brought by the little emperor was indeed good, and not long after Yuan Ming separated from him, the wine came up, and he returned to the house and slept until midnight before waking up.

Looking at the rich night outside the window, Yuan Ming chuckled a few times, and his mana traveled all over his body, dispelling the last trace of drunkenness.

In the past three years in southern Xinjiang, although he can't say that he is worried every day, he really doesn't dare to talk heartily with his confidants and get drunk like today.

After calming down slightly, Yuan Ming took out the "Nine Yuan Jue" given by the little emperor, opened it and read it carefully.

When he possessed the little emperor before, Yuan Ming only got the first part of the "Nine Yuan Jue" from the national teacher, but this time, the little emperor did not hide his personal secrets, and directly sent the entire "Nine Yuan Jue" over.

In addition to the first part of the previous Qi refining period of cultivation, the middle part and the second part of the "Nine Yuan Jue" correspond to the monks of the foundation building period and the knotting period respectively, in which in addition to the corresponding cultivation exercises, some supernatural spells are also recorded.

With Yuan Ming's cultivation now, the content of the next part is too obscure and profound, so he focuses on the middle part.

The middle part has four layers, corresponding to the four stages of the foundation building period, and the focus of cultivation has also shifted from consolidating the meridians and regulating qi and blood to warming and cultivating the sea and refining the dantian.

From this, it can also be seen how terrifying soul cultivation is as an alien in the world of cultivating immortals.

The "Dark Moon Formula" given by the evening shadow, but during the qi training period, it was required to warm up the sea and temper the soul, and looking at the description of the middle part of the Nine Yuan Jue, in the part of the warm cultivation and knowledge of the sea, it is not even as effective as the "Dark Moon Formula" when practicing qi.

Yuan Ming thought about it, and soon felt relieved.

After all, as an orthodox Taoist exercise, the effect of absorbing aura and accumulating mana is rare in the world, and it is understandable that it lacks the sea and the divine soul.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Yuan Ming crossed his knees and closed his eyes, and began to practice "Nine Yuan Jue - Novella".

As the exercises worked, in Yuan Ming's dantian, the originally calm lake of mana suddenly made waves.

The transparent liquid mana tumbled and stirred, washing the inner wall of the dantian wave after wave like a wave, and each wave slapping would make the dantian become more and more compact, and the liquid mana gradually became viscous in the process.

At the same time, all the pores of Yuan Ming's body were also opened, just like when he first broke through the foundation, frantically sucking the aura of heaven and earth, transporting it to the dantian through the meridians, further compressing and refining it, and filling the loss of liquid mana.

After cultivating like this for about a quarter of an hour, Yuan Ming opened his eyes, and his heart was surprised and happy.

That familiar feeling is back,

"Nine Yuan Jue" is worthy of the secret biography of Changchun, and the cultivation of the middle part is the same as the previous part, and there seems to be no bottleneck in the cultivation.

In this way, I can have no worries about my cultivation.

After being excited for a moment, Yuan Ming restrained his mood, put the "Nine Yuan Jue" aside, and turned his head to cultivate the "Dark Moon Jue".

After building the foundation, the power of his divine soul increased greatly, and he could also truly operate the supernatural power of the fourth layer of the "Stygian Moon Jue".

In addition to the number of soul crows and the range of movement that would increase with each level, the improvement of soul cultivation also allowed Yuan Ming to master the illusion ability that he had been coveting for a long time.

In the battle of Biluo Cave, Chen Cangqiong's illusion enveloped a large area, not only the three monks in the Yudan stage who were in it could not distinguish between them, but even Yuan Ming and the others who were watching outside could not tell the truth from the fake.

And with Yuan Ming's current cultivation, the illusion techniques that he can perform now naturally cannot reach this level.

According to his estimates, with full force, his illusion can affect people and things within ten zhang at most, and it can only last for half an hour at most, and the time will be further shortened as the number of people affected increases.

However, through repeated trials, he also figured out a few new uses.

After silently running the "Dark Moon Jue" for a while, Yuan Ming suddenly got up, left the room, and walked through the general's mansion at will.

On the way, a servant on night patrol saw Yuan Ming, was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Wang Shun, in the middle of the night, why don't you sleep and run around?" ”

Yuan Ming looked at him and didn't speak, but the man nodded as if he had heard something: "There is a horse sick you want to take a look?" Okay, go and come back quickly, you know the rules, but don't run around. ”

After speaking, the servant was about to leave, and as soon as Yuan Ming's mind moved, the servant suddenly turned around and walked in the direction he came.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming smiled slightly, turned around and went back to the house, and easily lifted the illusion applied on the servant.

At the same time, the servant's body stiffened suddenly, and when he looked left and right, he found that the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and a drop of cold sweat instantly fell from his forehead: "Ghost...... Ghost hitting the wall? ”

Yuan Ming had just used two illusions, one shrouded his body, and whoever looked at him would recognize him as Wang Shun, while the other was purely aimed at the servant, changing his five senses and making him see a scene that was diametrically opposed to reality.

Anyone whose divine soul power is not as strong as Yuan Ming will not be able to see through the former's disguise.

The latter is only for a single person, and no one else will be deceived if they are present.

Yuan Ming returned to the house, sat down cross-legged again, felt the consumption of the power of the divine soul, and thought about the shortcomings of the illusion for a moment, and then devoted himself to cultivation again.

……

Half a month later.

As soon as Yuan Ming finished his cultivation and pushed open the door, he saw several small servants walking over with a large number of things.

"Young master, these are the letters and congratulatory gifts sent to the house today."

Yuan Ming held his forehead and said helplessly: "Alas, according to what I told before, the letters and gift lists will be sorted out and put on the case, and the rest will be sent to the warehouse." ”

During this time, such a scene has been played out almost every day.

As the news of his return became known to more and more people, those former friends wrote to congratulate him, and sent a lot of congratulatory gifts while greeting him.

In addition, there are many people who don't know his experience, simply because they love "Sheng Gongzi's Journey to the South".

Notes", and sent his thoughts and greetings.

During this period, many friends from the past also made a special trip to visit, and Yuan Ming couldn't shirk it, so he drank and talked with them and rested.

In this way, Yuan Ming's time that can really be used for cultivation is very small.

He had just finished giving orders to his servants when he saw another porter running over.

"Young master, there is a person named Ma Xingkong from outside the house, saying that it is your old acquaintance." The porter bowed his head and prayed.

"Invite him in." Yuan Ming's heart moved, he didn't expect this person to come, and immediately ordered.

The porter took the order, and soon walked back with a young man with a sword-eyed eye.

As soon as he saw Yuan Ming, Ma Xingkong immediately smiled and said: "In the battle of Biluo Cave, Ma has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and does not know the identity of Brother Yuan, if you are offended, please forgive me." ”

"Where is Brother Ma, you and I have similar experiences, and now we are both monks, so why worry about our mortal status?" Yuan Ming waved his hand.

Ma Xingkong nodded yes, his expression was unrestrained, Yuan Ming pulled him into the house and sat down to talk about his experience in Biluo Cave, Ma Xingkong felt the same way, and also talked about what happened to him back then.

The two talked for a long time, recalling the hardships of the beast slave and the current situation, both of which were sighing.

Seeing that he gradually lowered his guard, Yuan Ming suddenly spoke: "Brother Ma used the photo magic weapon before, but you are still around?" I wonder if you can lend me one? ”

"It's okay, this magic weapon is not a rare thing, it can also be found in Xiuxianfang City outside the city, if Brother Yuan wants it, why don't you buy it yourself?" Ma Xingkong was curious.

"I only recently returned home, and I see my relatives and friends all day, so how can I have time to go to Fang City." Yuan Ming smiled bitterly.

"That's true, but if Brother Yuan is free, he really has to go to the Fang Market near the capital to see, I am rich in real estate in the Central Plains, not to mention the land of the capital, the prosperity of the Fang City is incomparable to that of a small place in southern Xinjiang." Ma Xingkong suddenly said so.

"Okay, I'll definitely check it out when I have time."

Seeing that Yuan Ming was vague, Ma Xingkong didn't care, took out the blue orb from the storage bag, and handed it to Yuan Ming.

"Since I returned to the Central Plains, I have never used this magic weapon again, Brother Yuan will use it first."

The use of the orb was very simple, and under the guidance of Ma Xingkong, Yuan Ming quickly learned it.

The two chatted for a while before parting from each other.

After sending Ma Xingkong away, Yuan Ming instructed the servants not to disturb, and then closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and moved his perspective to the soul crow located in Lin Junsheng's mansion.

On the first night back in the capital, Yuan Ming quietly sent a soul crow to Lin Junsheng's mansion to monitor his every move.

It's just that Lin Junsheng is like taking root, every day no matter day or night, he only cares about retreat and cultivation, and never steps out of the door.

If Yuan Ming hadn't been possessed by the incense burner and confirmed that Lin Junsheng was in the house, I am afraid that he would have left the capital a long time ago.

Through this month's observation and surveillance, Yuan Ming also found that other people in the Lin Mansion did not seem to know the truth about the trip to southern Xinjiang that year.

Lin Junsheng's father even prepared a special gift after hearing the news of his return.

Yuan Ming monitored for a while and found that Lin Junsheng still had no intention of going out, so he retracted his mind and lowered his head to ponder.

"Huh!"

He suddenly raised his eyebrows, let out a soft sigh, and then used illusion to cover his figure, got up and left the room.
