A few months later, Hua Zhi and King Kong flew to the White Emperor City.

Looking at the majestic city gate, Hua Zhi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he couldn't help but say, "Haha, it's here." This White Emperor City is really extraordinary, looking at this momentum, it is more spectacular than any city in the Extreme East Sea. ”

King Kong followed her silently, his eyes swept over the city, and he saw the crowd of people, and the shops on both sides of the street were lined up, so it was a prosperous scene.

He couldn't help scratching his head and wondered, "Didn't the Lord say that the White Emperor City is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt, and there is a special shortage of people?" It's so lively now, but I didn't expect it. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhi shook his head and smiled: "Hey, King Kong, you don't know anything." This Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range was originally a treasure land, and countless monks wanted to come here to hunt demons and hunt for treasures. As long as the news spreads, this White Emperor City will naturally not worry about popularity. ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a Dharma monk walking towards them, and the two of them immediately became vigilant.

When the monk approached, he arched his hand at them and said, "Don't panic, you two, I am Wang Fulong, and I have been waiting for you here for more than a long time under the order of Lord Yuan Ming." ”

Hua Zhi and King Kong felt a trace of Yuan Ming's breath from Wang Fulong, and immediately put their minds at ease, followed him into the city, and went straight to the city lord's mansion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Ming sat on the main seat, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw the arrival of Huazhi and King Kong.

As soon as Hua Zhi saw Yuan Ming, he pounced happily and said coquettishly: "Master, you miss me to death." ”

Yuan Ming touched her head with a smile, turned his gaze to King Kong, and asked, "You didn't encounter any trouble on the way here, did you?" ”

King Kong shook his head honestly and said, "According to the master's request, we disguised ourselves all the way and flew from the wilderness without passing through the Terran city. Except for some demon beasts that don't have long eyes, they haven't encountered any trouble. ”

Yuan Ming bowed slightly, and then asked, "What about the things I asked you to bring?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhi hurriedly took out a small jade box from his arms and presented it with both hands: "Master, the auxiliary materials for refining the Faxiang Dan you want are all here." ”

Yuan Ming took the jade box and opened it to take a look, only to see that there were all kinds of rare spiritual materials placed inside, all of which were needed to refine the Faxiang Pill.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Wang Fulong, "Go and call the master of the shop." ”

Wang Fulong took the order and left, Hua Zhi looked at his back and asked curiously, "Master, is he your new believer?" ”

Yuan Ming nodded, and briefly recounted his experience after arriving in White Emperor City.

Hua Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face was full of reverence.

After a while, the shopkeeper walked in and saluted Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming pointed to the spiritual materials on the table and said, "Master Shop, the auxiliary spiritual materials have been delivered, and you will work hard to refine another furnace of Faxiang Dan." ”

The shopkeeper responded, took the spiritual materials and went back to the alchemy room.

After he left, Hua Zhi couldn't wait to speak: "Master, you usually cultivate, you shouldn't have time to manage White Emperor City, right?" Why don't you let me take over, with the experience of running the Holy Spirit Society, I will definitely be able to keep the White Emperor City in order! ”

Yuan Ming heard this and pondered for a moment.

He knew that although Huazhi had a detached personality, when it came to management, she still had some ability and means.

So, he nodded and said, "It's okay, but the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is not as hostile to the Demon Clan as the Extreme East Sea." You remember to restrain your demonic spirit every day, and you can't let others notice your identity. In addition, the situation here is also more complicated, after you take over, you must also listen to Wang Fulong's opinions. ”

Hua Zhi agreed with a smile on his face.

"When you left the Far East Sea, how did you arrange for the Holy Spirit Meeting?" Seeing this, Yuan Ming took the initiative to ask again.

"Some of them were willing to come with me, so I took them with me, and now they are all camped outside the city. For the rest who are unwilling to leave, I have also arranged for a few trustworthy people to continue to operate forces in the Far East Sea. Haneda replied.

"Well, the Terran monks among them, you can also arrange to go into the city and use them first. As for the demon monks, let them infiltrate the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and monitor the movements over there. Yuan Ming nodded and said.

Huazhi patted his chest and said confidently: "Understand, wrap it up on me!" ”

Yuan Ming bowed slightly, and then turned his gaze to King Kong, as if he wanted to ask about his plans.

At this moment, Hua Zhi suddenly remembered another thing:

"That's right, master!"

There was a hint of excitement in Hua Zhi's crisp voice: "When we passed through Yinshan City, Lord Yin Lang specially recommended a person to us, named 'Qiu Nu'. She is very talented, and Lord Yin Lang feels that it is too condescending to stay by his side, so he wants us to bring her and learn from her master. ”

When Yuan Ming heard this, he couldn't help but show a little curiosity: "Oh? Where is she now? ”

"I have arranged for her to be stationed outside the city with the members of the Holy Spirit Society, and the master will wait a moment and I will go and call her." With that, she turned and walked away.

Soon, Hua Zhi led a girl in Tsing Yi back.

The girl was about twenty-eight years old, built a foundation and cultivated, with a baby face, and looked quite well-behaved.

When she was led into the room by Hua Zhi, she looked a little nervous, and after glancing at Yuan Ming, she quickly lowered her head and bowed respectfully.

"Yin Lang said that you are talented, I don't know what specific talent you have?" Yuan Ming's tone was calm and gentle.

Qiu Nu replied nervously, "Lord Hui, I am a wood attribute Heavenly Spirit Root, and I have awakened my supernatural powers since I was a child, and I can communicate with plants. ”

Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows, and his heart moved.

He raised his hand and gently pressed it on the hill girl's shoulder, and the flow of spiritual power confirmed that what she said was true.

This is indeed a rather rare girl with a wood attribute heavenly spirit root.

Yuan Ming withdrew his hand, and after a little contemplation, he sent someone to summon Ye Xinyao.

After Ye Xinyao arrived, Yuan Ming briefly explained to her the talent and ability of Qiu Nu, and instructed: "You take her to verify the specific effect of the talent, and if it is true, let her follow you to learn how to become a spirit planter." ”

Ye Xinyao nodded in response, and when she turned to look at the Qiu girl, a trace of curiosity and expectation flashed in her eyes.

After Ye Xinyao and Qiu Nu left, Yuan Ming turned his gaze to King Kong again and asked, "King Kong, what are your plans in the future?" ”

King Kong pondered for a moment and replied, "I want to continue hunting demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range to cultivate. ”

Yuan Ming nodded in agreement: "Very good, then let's go." However, in addition to cultivating, you can also help me keep an eye on the movements of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, especially to check if they still have a connection with the Demon Realm. ”

King Kong nodded in response, and then stepped back with the flower branch.

Yuan Ming also got up and left, going to the Shura Palace to find Xihezi.

Walking into the Shura Palace, Yuan Ming saw Xihezi who was cultivating with his eyes closed at a glance.

He stepped forward and called softly, "How is Xi Hezi's innate bitter bamboo refining?" ”

Xi Hezi slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face: "It has already been refined." ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved, and a delicate jade box gently fell into Yuan Ming's hand.

Yuan Ming opened the jade box and saw a five-inch long wooden hairpin lying inside.

The hairpin head is carved into the shape of a phoenix, the texture outlined by the gold wire on the wings is fine and vivid, and the phoenix mouth holds a warm jade white petal flower, and the whole wooden hairpin shape is delicate and exquisite.

Yuan Ming gently picked up the wooden hairpin and injected a trace of mana. Suddenly, a peaceful force poured into his body, making him feel pure and calm, as if all distracting thoughts had been swept away.

Compared with the previous congenital bitter bamboo leaves, the effect of this hairpin is obviously several times better.

Yuan Ming nodded with satisfaction, put away the wooden hairpin, and praised Xi Hezi: "Yes, Xi Hezi, your refining level has never disappointed me. ”

"That's nature. It's a pity that the innate bitter bamboo in your hand only has a 10,000-year fire, if it can grow to 100,000 years, and then I refine it, the refined spirit treasure can also play a big role in breaking through the Mahayana realm. Xi Hezi sighed with some regret.

"Is that true? However, it will take a long time for it to grow to 100,000 years. Yuan Ming was overjoyed, but soon showed a hint of embarrassment.

"How can the genius earth treasure obtained by breaking through the Mahayana be so easy to obtain? You can at least see a glimmer of hope, which is far beyond ordinary people. Xi Hezi said with relief.

Yuan Ming sighed and nodded.

……

Half a moon later, the sunlight shines through the window lattice, dappled and sprinkled in the alchemy room.

The rising Dan Qi on the alchemy furnace was intertwined with the sunlight, exuding a faint brilliance.

The shopkeeper took a deep breath, waved his palm lightly, and a stream of air rushed out, shaking the lid of the Dan furnace open.

As soon as he took a shot in the air, a pill flew out lightly and fell into the red sandalwood box that had been prepared on the side.

The wooden box was carefully held by the shopkeeper and gently placed in Yuan Ming's hand.

Yuan Ming closed his eyes and felt carefully, his divine sense felt the rich spiritual power contained in the elixir through the gap in the wooden box, and a satisfied smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

He put away the wooden box and turned his gaze to the shopkeeper, only to find that the other party did not leave as usual, but stood in place with a hesitant face.

"Shopkeeper, is there anything else?" Yuan Ming asked with some confusion.

The shopkeeper was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak slowly: "Yuan Daoyou, it is not far from the hundred-year period we agreed. ”

When Yuan Ming heard this, his heart moved, and then he smiled and said: "Is the master worried that I will not keep my promise and not let you leave freely after a hundred years?" ”

"Daoyou misunderstood, and this is definitely not the intention. Over the years, Yuan Daoyou has treated me like a friend, and even gave me opportunities. To tell you the truth, although the Izumo realm is large, there are very few people who treat me like Daoyou. After the hundred-year covenant was reached, Daoyou promised to give me back my freedom, but after careful consideration, I felt that it was a better choice to continue to follow Daoyou. The shopkeeper shook his head again and again and said.

After hearing this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, and said with a smile: "I see, the shop master is willing to continue to stay, and I am naturally happy." ”

The shopkeeper's face showed gratitude, but then he showed a trace of embarrassment: "Actually, there is another matter, which is really difficult to mention, but after thinking about it again and again, I hope that Yuan Daoyou can fulfill one or two." ”

"Master, it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help." Yuan Ming smiled slightly and said.
