Seeing this, Gu Qiulong's complexion changed for a while, and he took out a large handful of spirit stones from the storage bag again to replace them.

This has happened several times, during which Gu Qiulong almost spent more than two thousand spirit stones, and his originally calm face gradually became frowned, and a lot of beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

It was already the ninth time that he had replaced the spirit stones of the magic circle, and when he had almost exhausted all the spirit stones in the storage bag, a sudden change occurred. As a thunderclap came from above, a dazzling thunderbolt suddenly appeared on the purple wooden pillar, and it quickly descended along the wooden pillar, as if it was connected to the natural thunder and lightning outside, and the entire dungeon space shook violently.

The purple circle on the stone platform also suddenly lit up, and its speed increased several times. Streams of white spiritual power poured out from those spirit stones and poured into the winged bird's eggs.

The dazzling arc on the purple wooden pillar was also absorbed by the stone platform circle, transforming it into a softer power of thunder and lightning, all of which was poured into the winged bird's eggs.

Purple arcs of electricity emerged from the winged bird's eggs, and the uncertain lines on the surface disappeared, and the blood color faded a lot.

Seeing this, Gu Qiulong's eyes stared at the bloody egg motionlessly, and an extremely nervous expression appeared on his face.

When Yuan Ming saw this, he basically understood the beginning and end of the matter, it turned out that this Gu Qiulong coveted the winged bird's eggs and tied Gu Qiuming here.

When he first arrived in Xiaohu City, he didn't immediately go to Zhenling Pavilion to hatch bird eggs, so he was afraid that this situation would occur, and later he met Gu Qiuming's old acquaintance, so he came to the door with peace of mind, but he didn't expect that things were still developing in the direction he was worried about.

This winged bird egg was not only a precious anomaly, but also a gift from Sunset Shadow to himself, so he naturally couldn't give it up, and the thoughts in his heart spun quickly, and he began to think about countermeasures.

It's just that after thinking about it, he still doesn't have much clue, after all, he has to find the other party's location first, which makes him quite a big head.

Even if the Zhenling Sect is not as good as the Changchun Temple, there are still monks in the Yudan period, and it is not an outsider like himself who can search and move around at will.

"Gu Qiulong, if you are willing to return this egg, I can assume that this has never happened. In addition, in return, I can tell you the traces of another thunder-attribute spirit beast. Gu Qiuming suddenly opened his eyes and said.

"What spirit beast?" Gu Qiulong turned his head and asked in surprise. "Thunder Beast!" Gu Qiuming said slowly.

"Is it really a thunderworm beast? Where?" Gu Qiulong was overjoyed, and his attention was temporarily removed from the blood egg.

The Thunder Worm Beast is a rare thunder attribute demon beast, and its strength can reach the level when it becomes an adult, and the value of being a spirit beast is extremely great, and it is no less than that of the Winged Bird.

"It's in the rain ruins swamp, according to which it is less than a hundred miles. That thunderworm beast is still a young beast, it has just entered the second level, and I also found the trace of this beast by chance, as long as you can return the winged bird egg to Hagong Daoyou, I will take you to capture the thunderworm beast. Gu Qiuming said.

When Yuan Ming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, the Zhenling Sect was located two hundred miles away from Xiaohu City and the Yuxu Swamp, which meant that Gu Qiuming and the others were not in the Zhenling Sect at the moment!

He had always thought that the two of them were somewhere in Zhenling Sect, so he was at a loss, and if the two of them were outside, things would be much easier.

Yuan Ming continued to listen to the conversation between the two while staring intently at the dungeon environment, trying to see some clues from it.

The dungeon was unusually damp, with water droplets constantly pouring out of the walls, flowing downward. In such a humid and watery environment, it seems that the two of them are indeed near the Yuxu Swamp. But beyond that, there is no other useful information around.

Yuan Ming tried his best to mobilize the power of the divine soul and tried to spread it, but he couldn't do it at all. There seemed to be an invisible shroud around his divine soul, and his soul power couldn't break through at all. "It seems that I was able to spread my soul power before, and it was indeed caused by the improvement of the quality of black incense." Yuan Ming said secretly.

At that moment, he suddenly looked upward.

A long bell rang from above, followed by four more bells, and then a bell rang seven, eight, and twelve.

"Up, down four, tight seven, slow eight, flat twelve This is the bell of the Taoist temple, and there is a Taoist temple nearby?"

Yuan Ming knew the source of the bell as soon as he heard it. He was about to continue listening, when darkness suddenly plunged in front of him, but it was the end of the possession time.

Yuan Ming's consciousness returned to his body, and after a moment of silence, he got up and walked outside, and soon left the Zhenling Sect. He didn't summon the Qingyun Crane or sacrifice the magic weapon, but cast the Wind Agility Technique and rushed to Xiaohu City first.

At the same time, the Dao figure also quietly left the Zhenling Sect, far behind Yuan Ming, but he was a disciple of the Zhenling Sect.

The leader is a bald man, and the other two are a tall and thin young man and a young woman with heavy makeup. The cultivation of the bald man has reached the foundation building period, and the tall and thin young man and the young woman with heavy makeup are both at the peak of qi refining.

The person obviously used a concealment talisman or magic weapon, and not only did his breath seem to be absent, but his body also blended in with the surrounding environment, making it difficult to detect.

Yuan Ming quickly advanced forty or fifty miles, and a dense black pine forest appeared nearby. He suddenly veered off course and swept into the woods. The people who followed behind were shocked when they saw this, hurriedly quickened their pace, and also entered the black pine forest, but there was no trace of Yuan Ming here.

"Could it be that the man found us? Try to escape! The tall and thin young man had an ugly face.

"Have you found your kingfisher?" The bald man looked at the young woman with heavy makeup.

The young woman put her fingers to her lips and whistled. A cyan black finch fell from a nearby tree, perched on the shoulder of a young woman with heavy makeup, and chirped a few times.

"The kingfisher said that the man walked under the big tree and suddenly disappeared." The young woman said.

"Suddenly gone? Did you use a concealment spell?...."The bald man's sparse eyebrows furrowed, muttering to himself.

Before he finished speaking, his legs suddenly weakened, and his body shook.

"It's not good, someone uses poison..." The same was true of the tall and thin young man and the young woman with heavy makeup, and the condition of the two was even more unbearable, and they fell to the ground and fell into a coma, as did the blue bird.

The bald man suddenly felt lightheaded, unconscious, and reached out to the storage bag on his waist with difficulty, as if he wanted to take out something. However, his hand was only halfway out, and his consciousness was completely blurred, and he fell to the ground.

Yuan Ming, who was wearing the gray cloak, walked out from behind the big tree, holding the Stealing Heaven Ding in his hand, and a extinguished incense stick was inserted in it.

This is a seven-step inverted incense, and he mixed the poisonous flower he got from the flower branch into it, which greatly increased the toxicity of the incense, and the effect was really good, and the bald man, a monk in the foundation building period, was also easily fascinated.

Yuan Ming put away the stealing Tianding, came to the bald man's side, pressed the top of his head with one hand, and used his soul-searching magic power, and soon found something. This bald man's name is Zheng Da, who was originally a casual cultivator near Xiaohu City, and later joined Gu Qiulong, joined the Zhenling Sect, and did some dirty things for Gu Qiulong on weekdays.

This time, he and the other two were ordered by Gu Qiulong to monitor Yuan Ming, and then wait for Gu Qiulong's order to kill Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming was not angry, but showed joy on his face. Zheng Da received Gu Qiulong's order a few days ago, the two met in a mountain forest outside the Zhenling Sect, and after Gu Qiulong finished his order, he flew to the southwest, which was the direction of the Yuxu Swamp. Gu Qiulong may not have really gone to the southwest, but this is an important clue that can be referenced.

Later, Yuan Ming applied soul search to the other two, and the information he learned was far less detailed than that of the bald man, but the meaning was similar. He immediately took away the person's storage weapon, and popped out a water arrow with his fingers, piercing the center of the person's eyebrows. Since this person wants to kill him, Yuan Ming will naturally not let him go.

He then sent a fireball that reduced the corpse to ashes and shattered the bones. He carefully swept away all traces in the woods before stopping.

After doing this, Yuan Ming immediately took out a map of the surrounding areas of Xiaohu City and searched southwest from Zhenling Sect. Yuan Ming's eyes were stunned and he found a Taoist temple in the southwest of Zhenling Sect, near the Yuxu Swamp, called Shuiyun Temple."

"This should be it!" He did not delay and immediately rushed there.

Shuiyun Taoist Temple is a mortal Taoist temple, built in the middle of two hills, the mountain gate is tall, the temple is majestic, covers an area of 20 acres, the incense is prosperous. At this moment, the sky has completely darkened, and many rooms in the Taoist temple are still lit up.

Yuan Ming did not enter rashly, stopped outside the Shuiyun Temple, released a soul crow to enter the observation to investigate, and at the same time summoned the flower branch and let it enter the ground to find it.

Time has passed little by little, and neither the soul crow nor the flower branch has yet to harvest.

Just when Yuan Ming was secretly a little anxious, the dark clouds in mid-air were lowered, and it rained heavily, and a thick thunderbolt burst out from the clouds, tearing the dark night sky.

The tail end of the thunder and lightning swept behind the water cloud view, and suddenly there was a turn, as if it was being attracted by something.

Yuan Ming recalled the scene he saw when he possessed his body, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately sacrificed the white jade flying shuttle and swept there, while spreading his divine sense, and soon made a discovery.

"Sure enough, it's here!" He paused and looked at a high ground not far away.

A purple-black wooden pillar poked out of the ground there, which was the same purple-black wooden pillar that I saw when I was possessed, and the top was already charred black. Yuan Ming took out a yellow talisman, which was a talisman he bought at a high price in the shop of the talisman in Xiaohu City, and the effect of the talisman was almost the same, and it was able to escape underground.

He took two soul crows, leaving only one to guard outside, urging the Escape Charm to sneak into the ground. Huazhi also came to the back mountain at this moment, lurking from the other side.

Yuan

Ming followed the thunder guide purple wood down, and easily found the basement, he hid in a corner, and secretly looked towards the dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, Gu Qiulong was still trying his best to urge the magic circle to hatch winged bird eggs, and he didn't notice the movement outside.

And Gu Qiuming was still locked in the dungeon, disheveled, and nosed

The face was swollen, and it seemed that the negotiation between the two ended in failure, and Gu Qiuming was also beaten.

And the shape of the winged bird egg placed in the center of the circle has changed drastically at this moment, and the blood color on the eggshell has all disappeared, replaced by a bright silver color flashing all over the body, and there is a trace of thunder light scurrying on it.

Not only that, but there are also two thin gaps in the eggshell, which looks like it is about to break.
