"Tian Shui Glue!" Yuan Ming's eyes lit up when he saw the things in the jade box through the soul crow.

When he first entered the Eastern Territory, he heard a shop owner talk about this thing in Fang City. He said that the hydrogel was produced on the bottom of the deep sea today, and it was only possible to form it due to the combination of spiritual power, earth veins, temperature, water pressure and other conditions. It is very rare. A small piece requires seven to eight hundred spirit stones to buy, and it is priceless but not marketable.

"Elder Bai, please put this thing away. Pindao is the master of Xuanhua Temple. He shoulders the legacy of the ancestors of all generations and dare not forget the slightest bit. It is impossible to sell the incense-making classics of this temple." Master Xuanhua was determined. He shook his head unusually.

Bai Lin's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Fellow Taoist Xuanhua, Bai has already set the conditions to such an extent. Don't you be ignorant of praise! When it comes to the root of this matter, it is still you who failed to complete the hundred on time. The commission of the 'Seven Steps Down' ruined Bai's major event, which led to the current situation. Even if you go to Tieyunguan to confront you, you still have no reason at all!"

Master Xuanhua's face turned red and he was speechless.

"The beast has been frightened and lurked in its lair and refused to come out. The only way to hunt down the beast is to use the incense-making classics of Qin Xuan Hua Temple and ask fellow Taoist Blue Lizard for help. This is If this fails, both your life and mine will be in danger. If you die, Xuanhua Guan will disappear and there will be no inheritance." Bai Lin's eyes were cold and frightening as he spoke word by word.

Master Xuanhua's face turned pale every time he heard a word. After Bai Lin finished speaking, thin cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I will give fellow Taoist Xuanhua one more day. I will come back tomorrow. I hope you will not disappoint me, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless." Bai Lin said, putting away the jade box and storage bag , got up and left.

There was no trace of blood on Xuanhua's face, and he sat down on the chair in the front hall with great dejection.

There was a sound of footsteps, but it was Yuan Ming who walked in.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, why are you here?" Master Xuanhua stood up and asked.

"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist Xuanhua. Yuan has a secret technique that allows him to listen to sounds from far away. I accidentally overheard the conversation between the two of you just now, so I thought of coming over to discuss the matter with fellow Taoist." Yuan Ming apologized with his hands in hand. .

Master Xuanhua was startled, then waved his hands tiredly and sat back down again.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanhua, listening to your conversation just now, it seems that you and that senior Bai Lin are in a dilemma because you failed to hunt down a ferocious beast. What is the context of this matter? Yuan doesn't dare to do anything else. It's a big deal, but when it comes to hunting ferocious beasts, I think I still have some methods that might help." Yuan Ming sat down on the chair next to Master Xuanhua and asked.

"You? Hunting ferocious beasts?" Master Xuanhua glanced at Yuan Ming in surprise, obviously not believing it.

It's no wonder that the incense maker has been busy making incense in a secret room all year round, requiring others to do the purchasing of materials, and has no chance to fight.

Yuan Ming smiled slightly and pointed out the secret formula.

A chair not far away suddenly split into two halves, and the crack was extremely smooth. Master Xuanhua didn't even see what was going on.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Yuan to have such means, but I'm afraid you can't help in this matter." Master Xuanhua was greatly surprised, but still shook his head and said.

"What's the harm in telling him." Yuan Ming did not give up and continued to ask.

"Okay, this matter started a month ago." Master Xuanhua sighed and spoke slowly.

A month ago, Bai Lin came to the door and brought a big business, refining one hundred seven-step incense sticks. The price was quite high, but it had to be completed within ten days.

Master Xuanhua was collecting spiritual stones to prepare spiritual grass to refine the foundation-building spiritual incense, so he immediately agreed.

With Master Xuanhua's level of incense making, it was more than enough to make one hundred seven-step incense sticks in ten days. However, things didn't work out as he wished. On the seventh day, he suffered an old brain disease and was unconscious in the secret room for two full days. After waking up, the process of making incense was greatly delayed. In the end, only more than eighty seven-step incense sticks were refined, failing to complete Bai Lin's requirements on time.

Bai Lin wanted to kill a hundred-gun seven-steps in order to hunt down a whirlpool beast in the sea. This beast's strength has reached the second level peak, only half a step away from the third level. It also has a cunning and unusual temperament. It has been hiding in the undercurrent whirlpool of the sea for many years. Not showing up.

Bai Lin didn't know what method he used to lure him to the sea, and trapped him with a magic circle. At the same time, he used a large number of seven steps in the formation to charm him, and took the opportunity to kill him.

But seven steps was not enough. The whirlpool beast woke up at the critical moment, broke free from the shackles of the magic circle and fled back to the bottom of the sea. After that, no matter how Bai Lin tempted him, he never showed up again.

The reason why Bai Lin hunted the whirlpool beast was because he was ordered by a monk in the alchemy stage of Bailong Island. The monk in the alchemy stage had a violent temper. If he couldn't bring the whirlpool beast's body back on time, Bai Lin's life might be at risk. No guarantee.

In desperation, Bai Lin had no choice but to seek help from a powerful loose cultivator named Blue Lizard near Ningcheng. The Blue Lizard's cultivation had reached the middle stage of foundation building, and his skills were good at underwater activities, and he even had an underwater spirit beast. Auxiliary, it is enough to resist the whirlpool beast, and maybe it can draw out the whirlpool beast again.

However, the blue lizard proposed that the only requirement to take action was to obtain Xuanhua Temple's secret book on making incense, otherwise he would never take action. This was how Bai Lin came to force him.

"Fellow Taoist Xuanhua suffers from brain disease?" Yuan Ming asked after hearing this.

"Well, it's an old problem. I'm restless and prone to attacks when I'm emotional. I've been taking medicine to suppress it over the years, and I haven't been sick for a long time. But recently, for some reason, I often have inexplicable thoughts. Working all night long to make incense caused old illnesses." Master Xuanhua sighed.

Yuan Ming opened his mouth, but hesitated, a trace of apology flashed in his eyes.

Master Xuanhua's thoughts were agitated during this period, perhaps due to the influence of his thoughts after possessing him.

"What are you going to do, fellow Taoist Xuanhua? Do you really want to hand over the secret book of your sect?" Yuan Ming asked again.

"Even if I die, I will never hand over my sect's secret book to others!" Xuanhua's eyes were determined.

"In that case, the only way is to hunt down the whirlpool beast. I wonder if Fellow Taoist Xuanhua knows where the whirlpool beast's lair is?" Yuan Ming paused and asked again.

"I heard Bai Lin say once that near the coral island a hundred miles southwest, Fellow Daoist Yuan is really going to hunt this beast? I understand your kindness. That whirlpool beast is so powerful that even if several foundation-building monks join forces, they may not be able to kill it. If you can win, not to mention monks like you and me in the Qi Refining Stage, I'd better ask Tieyun Guan to come forward and deal with this matter. The worst I can do is spend a fortune in spiritual stones. If you don't believe me, this matter can't be settled." Master Xuanhua shook his head and said.

"Of course I can't do it alone. Yuan also has several powerful companions. If they take action, there should be a good chance of success." Yuan Ming said.

"Youre Daoist Yuan really sure?" Upon hearing this, Master Xuanhua showed some hope on his face.

Although he just said that he would spend money to invite Tieyun Guan to come forward, in fact he was not sure at all. He was in the wrong for this matter, and he had no close friends in Tieyun Guan. Most likely, Tieyun Guan would not do anything for some spiritual stones. He supported himself and turned against the elders of Bailong Island.

"Of course we don't have a 100% certainty, but we still have a 50% or 60% certainty." Yuan Ming thought for a while and said.

"If Fellow Daoist Yuan can really hunt down the whirlpool beast, he will be my benefactor, Xuanhua Guan. If I ask for anything in the future, I will never refuse!" Master Xuanhua bowed deeply and made a solemn promise.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanhua is serious. If I get back the body of the vortex beast, I think I can exchange it for Tianshui Glue from the person on Bailong Island. If Daoist Xuanhua can make more than two pieces of foundation-building incense, I hope Share the moisture on the next root." Yuan Ming returned the gift and said.

Whether it was to express his apology or to refine the Foundation Establishment Incense, he was determined to hunt down this whirlpool beast.

This beast may be difficult for others, but Yuan Ming has many methods, especially the corpse of Master Tian Snake that is fused with the skin of a white ape. As long as he is not directly fighting with the monks in the pill formation stage, he has nothing to fear.

And listening to the conversation between Master Xuanhua and Bai Lin just now, the most difficult thing about hunting this beast is to lure it out from the bottom of the sea. In this matter, he has a unique secret method.

Master Xuanhua naturally agreed.

"From what you said, that whirlpool beast is cunning. I may not be able to come back tomorrow. If the monks from White Dragon Island come again, fellow Taoist Xuanhua should try to delay it for a few days." Yuan Ming said.

"No problem, just leave this little thing to me." Master Xuanhua replied.

Yuan Ming nodded, stood up and walked outside. Master Xuanhua saw him off in person.

Yuan Ming did not go through the front door where he came in before, and asked Master Xuanhua to take him out through the back door.

His soul crow detected that Bai Lin had sent people to guard outside the main entrance. Yuan Ming did not want to come into contact with the people on Bailong Island yet to avoid trouble.

The two walked through the courtyard behind the front hall, and an attic appeared in front of them. From here, they could see some tablets placed inside, with candles burning and incense floating in all directions.

"That's the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of this temple." Master Xuanhua noticed Yuan Ming's gaze and explained.

Yuan Ming looked at the tall incense burner in the ancestral hall, which was filled with incense ashes, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The number of incense ash in the hall was too small before, but I didn't expect there were more here.

Yuan Ming did not ask for it, but continued to move forward, and soon left Xuanhua Temple through the back door.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a vague figure invisible to the naked eye entered the Xuanhua Temple and came to the incense burner.

The man took out a rather large jade pot, took out nearly half of the incense ashes in the furnace, and then walked away.

A Xuanhua Temple disciple came over with a broom, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He seemed to have seen a figure flash past just now, but when he looked carefully, he saw nothing. He shook his head and muttered, not taking it to heart, and started cleaning the ancestral hall.

The figure left Xuanhua Temple and quickly came to a nearby deserted alley. He lifted up a gray cloak and revealed his true identity. It was naturally Yuan Ming.

Looking at the jade pot in his hand, he looked happy.

With so much incense ash, it will be enough for a long time to come.
