Celestial being

A few months later, the two demons Huazhi and King Kong flew to Baidi City.

Looking at the majestic city gate, Huazhi's eyes flashed with excitement, and she couldn't help but say: "Haha, we've arrived. This Baidi City is really extraordinary. Looking at its momentum, it is more powerful than any other city in the Far East Sea. Be spectacular.”

King Kong followed her silently, scanning the city with his eyes. He saw a bustling crowd and shops on both sides of the street, making it a prosperous scene.

He couldn't help scratching his head and asked doubtfully: "Didn't the Lord say that Baidi City is in dire straits and is in need of renovation, and it is particularly short of people? It is beyond my expectation that it is so lively now."

Hearing this, Huazhi shook his head and said with a smile: "Hey, King Kong, you don't know something. This Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range is originally a treasure land, and countless monks want to come here to hunt monsters and find treasures. As long as the news spreads, Baidi City will naturally not worry about its popularity. "

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

When the monk approached, he cupped his hands towards them and said, "Don't panic, you two. I am Wang Fulong. I have been waiting for you here for a long time under the orders of Lord Yuan Ming."

Huazhi and Jingang felt a hint of Yuan Ming's aura from Wang Fulong, and immediately felt relieved, following him into the city and heading straight to the city lord's mansion.

In the city lord's palace, Yuan Ming sat on the throne, smiling when he saw Huazhi and King Kong arriving.

As soon as Hua Zhi saw Yuan Ming, she jumped up happily and said softly: "Master, you miss me so much."

Yuan Ming smiled and touched her head, turned to King Kong and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble on the way here?"

King Kong shook his head honestly and said: "We followed the master's request, disguised ourselves all the way, and flew from the wilderness without passing through the human city. Except for some evil beasts with no eyes, we didn't encounter any trouble."

Yuan Ming nodded slightly and then asked: "Where are the things I asked you to bring?"

Hearing this, Huazhi quickly took out a small jade box from her arms and presented it with both hands: "Master, all the auxiliary materials you want for refining the Faxiang Pill are here."

Yuan Ming took the jade box and opened it. He saw various rare spiritual materials placed inside, all of which were needed to refine the Dharma-Xiang Pill.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Wang Fulong: "Go and call the store master."

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

Yuan Ming nodded and briefly recounted his experience after arriving at Baidi City.

Hua Zhi's eyes shone when she heard this, and her face was full of reverence.

After a while, the waiter came in and saluted Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming pointed to the spiritual materials on the table and said: "Master of the store, the auxiliary spiritual materials have been delivered. Thank you for your hard work and make another furnace of Dharma-Xiang Dan."

The waiter agreed, took the spiritual materials and returned to the alchemy room.

After he left, Huazhi couldn't wait to speak: "Master, you usually practice cultivation and you shouldn't have time to manage Baidi City, right? Why don't you let me take over? With experience in running the Holy Spirit Society, I will definitely be able to take care of Baidi City. Gotta be in good order!”

Hearing this, Yuan Ming pondered for a moment.

He knew that although Huazhi had an out-of-touch personality, she still had some abilities and methods when it came to management.

So, he nodded and said: "That's fine, but the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range is not as hostile to the demon clan as the Far East Sea. Remember to restrain your demonic aura every day and don't let others notice your identity. In addition, the situation here is It’s also more complicated. After you take over, you should also listen to Wang Fulong’s opinions.”

Huazhi agreed with all his heart, looking excited.

"How did you arrange the Holy Spirit Meeting when you left the Far East Sea?" Seeing this, Yuan Ming asked proactively.

"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 were unwilling to leave, I also arranged for a few trustworthy people to continue to operate my power in the Far East Sea. "Hua Zhi replied.

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

Huazhi patted her chest and said confidently: "I understand, just keep it with me!"

Yuan Ming nodded slightly, then turned his eyes to King Kong, as if he wanted to ask him about his plans.

At this moment, Huazhi suddenly remembered another thing:

"That's right, Master!"

There was a hint of excitement in Huazhi's clear voice: "When we were passing through Yinshan City, Master Yin Lang specially recommended a person to us, named 'Qiu Nu'. She is extremely talented, and Master Yin Lang felt that it would be too humiliating to keep her by his side. , and wanted us to bring her to study with the master."

When Yuan Ming heard this, he couldn't help showing a bit of curiosity: "Oh? Where is she now?"

"I have arranged for her to be stationed outside the city with the people from the Holy Spirit Society. Master, wait for a moment, and I will call her back." After Huazhi said that, he turned around and left lightly.

Soon, Huazhi returned with a young girl in green clothes.

The girl was about twenty-eight years old, had a solid foundation, had a baby face, and seemed quite well-behaved.

When Huazhi led her into the room, she seemed a little nervous. After looking at Yuan Ming, she quickly lowered her head and bowed respectfully.

"Yin Lang said you have outstanding talents, but I don't know what your specific talents are?" Yuan Ming's tone was calm and gentle.

Qiu Nu replied nervously: "Sir, I have a wood-attributed heavenly spirit root, and I have awakened magical powers since I was a child and can communicate with plants."

Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows and felt something in his heart.

He raised his hand and gently pressed Qiu Nu's shoulder, and as his spiritual power circulated, he confirmed that what she said was true.

This is indeed a rather rare girl with a wood-attributed spiritual root.

Yuan Ming took back his hand, thought for a moment, and then sent someone to call Ye Xinyao.

After Ye Xinyao arrived, Yuan Ming briefly explained Qiu Nu's talent and ability to her, and ordered: "Take her to verify the specific effect of the talent. If it is true, let her follow you to learn how to become a spiritual plant. division."

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

After Ye Xinyao and Qiu Nu left, Yuan Ming turned his attention 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 to hunt monsters in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to practice."

Yuan Ming nodded in agreement: "Very good, let's go. However, besides practicing, you can also help me keep an eye on the trends in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, especially to check whether they still have contact with the demon world."

King Kong nodded in agreement, and then retreated with Huazhi.

Yuan Ming also got up and left, heading to Shura Palace to look for Xihezi.

Entering the Shura Palace, Yuan Ming immediately saw Xi Hezi who was practicing with his eyes closed.

He walked forward and called softly: "How is the refining of Xihezi's Xiantian Bamboo Bamboo?"

Xi Hezi slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his face: "It has been practiced for a long time."

As she spoke, she raised her hand 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 head of the hairpin is carved into the shape of a phoenix. The texture outlined by the gold wire on the wings is fine and vivid. The phoenix holds a warm jade white-petaled flower in its mouth. The entire wooden hairpin is delicate and exquisite in shape.

Yuan Ming gently picked up the wooden hairpin and injected a little magic power into it. Suddenly, a peaceful force poured into his body, making him feel clean and peaceful, as if all distracting thoughts had been swept away.

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

Yuan Ming nodded with satisfaction, put away the wooden hairpin, and praised Xi Hezi: "Yes, Xi Hezi, your weapon refining skills have never let me down."

"That's natural. It's a pity that the piece of innate bitter bamboo in your hand only has ten thousand years of fire. If it can grow to one hundred thousand years, and then be refined by me, the refined spiritual treasure will also be of great help in breaking through the Mahayana realm. It works." Xihezi sighed with some regret.

"Is this true? However, it may take a long time to wait for it to grow to a hundred thousand years." Yuan Ming was happy, but soon showed a hint of embarrassment.

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

Yuan Ming sighed and nodded.

…

Half a month later, the sun shines through the window lattice into the alchemy room.

The rising alchemy energy on the alchemy furnace intertwined with the sunlight, emitting a faint brilliance.

The waiter took a deep breath, waved his palm lightly, and a stream of air surged out, shaking open the lid of the alchemy furnace.

He took a photo from the air, and a pill flew out lightly and fell into the rosewood box that had been prepared nearby.

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

Yuan Ming closed his eyes and took a closer look. Through the gaps in the wooden box, he felt the rich spiritual power contained in the elixir. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He put away the wooden box and turned to the waiter, only to find that the waiter did not leave as usual, but stood there with hesitation.

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

The waiter was silent for a moment, then finally plucked up the courage and spoke slowly: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, the hundred years we agreed are not far away."

When Yuan Ming heard this, his heart moved, and then he smiled and said, "Master, are you worried that I won't keep my promise and won't let you leave freely after a hundred years?"

"Fellow Taoist Yuan has misunderstood, and this is absolutely not what I meant. Over the years, Taoist friend Yuan has treated me like a friend, and even gave me opportunities. This kindness will be kept in my heart. To be honest, although Izumo World is big, it is not as big as Taoism." There are very few people who treat me like this. After the hundred-year agreement was reached, Taoist friend promised to give me my freedom, but after careful consideration, I feel that continuing to follow Taoist friend is the better choice." The waiter said repeatedly. He shook his head and said.

After hearing this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "So, if the store master is willing to stay, I am naturally happy."

The waiter in the store showed gratitude on his face, but then he showed a hint of embarrassment: "Actually, there is one more thing that is really difficult to talk about, but I have thought about it again and again, and I hope that Fellow Daoist Yuan can help me."

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