Mortal: Settled in Mo Mansion at the beginning

Chapter 102 Lapis Lazuli

I galloped all the way back to the Ten Thousand Immortals Chamber of Commerce to deal with some of the things accumulated during this period, mainly to encapsulate those Thunder Fire Orbs.

So far, only he can complete the final packaging step of this thing.

And this thing is now a best-seller in the Chamber of Commerce and consumes a lot of money. For this reason, every time he comes to Luan Xinghai, he has to work on it for a while.

However, as his cultivation and spiritual consciousness became more powerful, his understanding of talismans, formations, and weapon refining became more advanced, and his efficiency became much faster.

In addition, as he became more and more skilled, he became more and more skillful.

In addition, there are some orders and invitations from Nascent Soul monks. These orders and invitations cannot be processed by Sect Leader Wang, but fortunately with Mrs. Wen here, it is not a big problem.

Hu Ming came back, picked it up, looked around, and quickly dealt with it.

Then there are some trivial matters such as daily practice here for Master Wang, Mrs. Wen and the left and right envoys.

It took a month. After Hu Ming took care of some things, he said he was retreating again and slipped back to Tiannan.

On the other hand, he was still dealing with some affairs in Tiannan in an unhurried manner.

After taking over Wan Sangu, the chief protector of the righteous path, and cultivating himself just a step away from becoming a god, Hu Ming's daily life still hasn't changed much.

It's still the same as before, the social circle is advancing unhurriedly, and the daily accumulation of cultivation is also done unhurriedly.

On the side of the Twin Saints of Star Palace, more energy is now placed on Ling Yuling's cultivation, and Ling Yuling's cultivation is now progressing rapidly, so the two of them seem a little calm.

The battle between Star Palace and the Counter Star Alliance became more and more "controllable" because the Six Paths of Supreme Saints were refined.

Some of the foundation-building monks and pill-forming monks on the front line were fighting to the death, but the battle going up to Nascent Soul suddenly became more restrained.

Originally, Wan Sangu would still urge her. After all, she was still waiting for Xing Palace's inheritance to explore the opportunity to break through to the gods.

But at this moment, because Hu Ming's sneak attack was successful, the great monk was now completely tamed, and he spent his energy on practicing his skills and cultivating the power of Yuan Yin in his body.

On the other hand, the fight between the human monks in the inner star sea and the demon clan in the outer star sea became more and more fierce.

However, although there is currently no new god-transforming monk in Chaotic Star Sea to support the scene, relying on the power of the formation, another one has developed over the years.

The human race in the Inner Star Sea is already strong enough, and at this time, there is not much fear of the alien sea monsters attacking.

Although the Outer Star Sea is now in great decline, it is not easy for the monsters in the Outer Star Sea to break into the Inner Star Sea.

Under this situation, the entire Chaos Star Sea was fighting, and sects and families were destroyed from time to time, but they seemed to be relatively stable.

For Hu Ming, he was very energetic and stable.

It is said that it is very energetic, because in this environment, the Ten Thousand Immortals Chamber of Commerce is almost making money every day, one sect after another, the family is destroyed, and the secrets are dug out and shared by everyone.

As a middleman and broker, Hu Ming got a piece of the pie and his mouth was full of oil.

Along with this, the former Miaoyin Sect, now after several reorganizations, has gradually become a team that has deviated from its original appearance and begun to grow visibly to the naked eye.

There are people from the Miaoyin Sect inside, as well as some Taoist friends from both the good and evil paths who have been gradually attracted as the Chamber of Commerce expanded, the Three Immortals Island was built, Hu Ming became the successor of the Six Paths.

There are also some fellow Taoists who have no roots or sects.

Inside, Hu Ming's original master, Old Monster Chihuo, was nearing the end of his life and seemed to be becoming more and more careless. Qingyi layman and several casual cultivators also seemed to be taking care of themselves.

There are also Tianwuzi and Tianyuanzi of the Xuanxin Sect who were originally members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, a group of demonic forces gathered by the Six Paths Supreme Saint before.

After several twists and turns, it gradually absorbed a large number of manpower.

Even now it seems to be a mess.

Because Hu Ming only showed his alchemy cultivation, most of the people recruited were also those with alchemy cultivation. At the same time, because of the Miaoyin Sect, most of them were female cultivators.

This team now relies on the Chamber of Commerce, with a loose structure, but it appears to be tight. In this sea of ​​​​stars that are constantly fighting, it is gradually becoming a force that cannot be ignored.

But because of the presence of Mrs. Wen inside and the shadows of the Six Saints behind her, some people who were reluctant to see this group grow in power did not dare to make any big moves for a while.

And time also passed quietly like this, and another four years passed.

At Wan Sangu's place, under Hu Ming's special care, the situation became more and more stable, and the transfer was progressing smoothly.

Under Hu Ming's guidance, the Chief Protector finally "willingly" practiced the furnace cauldron technique and concentrated on cultivating the spiritual power in his body.

Four years later, Hu Ming once again visited the mandrill in the swamp of Luoyun Sect.

When Hu Ming came here for the first time, there was not much change in the Lapis Lazuli Cave. The mandrill, which looked much calmer, was sitting cross-legged on the altar.

With a flash of yellow light, Hu Ming's figure appeared in the cave. He looked around, then walked forward very skillfully and sat down cross-legged.

"How do you feel?" Hu Ming asked.

"You can't die yet." The mandrill returned somewhat coldly.

"That's good." Hu Ming smiled, and then extended his palm.

The mandrill glanced and stretched out his fluorescent palm, but this time, he did not immediately enter the state.

But he seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"I followed the method you mentioned to temper the corpse energy and evil energy in my body, and then converted to the cultivation method. Now I can break free from the shackles of the Vulcan Chain of One or Two Days," said the corpse mandrill.

"Congratulations then. The restriction on the Heavenly Fire God Chain specifically targets corpse energy and Yin evil spirits. This shows that fellow Taoist disciples are making good progress now." Hu Ming said with a smile.

"You do know how to say nice things, what about you?" Mandrill asked.

"Fellow Taoist can make such rapid progress now, and it is indispensable for my contribution." Hu Ming said.

Hearing the sound, Corpse Mandrill looked at Hu Ming, then put his palms together with Hu Ming's, as if he was about to enter a cultivation state, but at this moment, he suddenly spoke again.

"Zi Yun," said the corpse mandrill.

"Is this the senior's name?" Hu Ming asked.

"..."

The mandrill didn't speak, and just silently circulated the magic power in his body. When Hu Ming saw this, he only chuckled and said nothing more.

There was some movement in the cave, but in the blink of an eye, it became silent again.

During the flow of mana, in fact, the corpse mandrill is not only able to break free of the Vulcan Chain of one or two days, but under the guidance of Hu Ming, it has now reached a state where it can be refined into its own. Now this is This is the last practice before she can reach Consummation.

Also under the infusion of Hu Ming's huge mana, the mandrill itself felt like it had jumped out of the reincarnation of the Five Elements by chance, and now it seemed to be further perfect.

He died in the midst of great resentment, relied on this resentment to escape reincarnation, and condensed into an extremely tyrannical mandrill body. Now his resentment is gradually washed away.

This gives him a vague feeling of achieving the legendary golden body and moon corpse.

Rigor mortis is formed by the resentment of corpse energy. In the end, it is necessary to wash away the resentment and evil in order to achieve the great road. Now this mandrill has been trapped in this cave for nearly ten thousand years. Now, through some strange combination of circumstances, he has embarked on this path under the guidance of Hu Ming.

However, it is only somewhat relevant, and there is still a long way to go before truly achieving the golden body and moon corpse.

But even so, now he can rely on the state of the resentment in his body to be almost cleansed, and he can refine the Vulcan Chain that day.

Also in this slightly silent state of cultivation, under the black robe, the thin silver chain that penetrated the corpse mandrill's body quietly disappeared under the erosion of a burst of gray light.

Hu Ming roughly noticed it during this process, and then did not stop him. On the contrary, he did not hesitate to help.

Mandrill, who was refining the Vulcan Chain that day with her eyes closed, moved her eyelids slightly, but in the end she didn't open her eyes and just quietly refined the Vulcan Chain that had trapped her for tens of thousands of years.

Time flows quietly, and less than half a month passes in the blink of an eye.

The palms of the two people separated, Hu Ming's face seemed to be slightly pale, and Mandrill Ziyun opened his eyes after a while.

Opening his eyes, he glanced at Hu Ming for the first time, and then calmly looked at his fluorescent, white, but actually skinny paws.

She was originally a person who loved beauty and paid great attention to her appearance, but over the years, she was locked there and eventually turned into an ugly rigor mortis, which she could only rely on the art of illusion to cover up.

Now that the ban was lifted, she was finally able to escape from this situation.

"If I said I didn't want to die or be reincarnated, would you be angry?" Mandrill asked.

"This is the senior's own business. However, after releasing the senior, the boy has some responsibility. If the senior does something wrong after going out, it will be the boy's fault." Hu Ming seemed to think for a moment and finally said.

Ziyun heard the sound and narrowed her eyes.

"Then if I go out and do evil, are you going to deal with me?" Zi Yun asked with a somewhat dangerous expression.

"Senior will be punished by many people if he goes out to do evil, so I will stop him from doing evil." Hu Ming said nonsense like this.

After spending many years together, he has roughly figured out what this guy likes to hear.

Sure enough, when this old antique who had been locked up for tens of thousands of years heard Hu Ming's reply, his expression softened slightly.

Then I looked at Hu Ming's place for a while,

"I have broken free now, but I am still weak. I need to find a place to practice cultivation for a while. If you don't want me to do evil, then find a clean place with me where no one will disturb me. As for the reward, these lapis lazuli stones , I’ll leave it to you, I’ll save you from having to look at me every time you come here.” Zi Yun finally said.

"Didn't this lapis lazuli come from a senior friend?" Hu Ming asked a little strangely.

"Hmph, that guy has been dead for who knows how many years now. I've been here for so many years, so naturally this thing is mine." Zi Yun said angrily.

Such words were naturally easy to refute, but Hu Ming did not continue to act stupid.

"That's true. I'd like to thank you, senior. I'll definitely find a place for senior that is clean and undisturbed later for him to cultivate." Hu Ming nodded.

Zi Yun looked at Hu Ming's appearance and muttered in her heart, then looked at Hu Ming coldly, as if she was seeing off a guest.

However, this guy has been trapped here for a long time, and now his legs have long been withered and look ugly, and she, who has always loved beauty, does not want to show her appearance like this and be seen by Hu Ming.

Hu Ming was stared at for a while, and he seemed to realize what he was doing. He stood up and left, but when he left, he took the jade box away.

He also left two bottles of elixirs refined from pure Yin Qi very thoughtfully.

The elixir is used to restore the opponent's state, and the jade box contains the main soul of the zombie. The current zombie has been successfully trained, but the resentment in the main soul is still extremely strong.

If it is released, there will be some trouble.

Over there, Zi Yun saw Hu Ming taking the jade box away, and her brows twitched, but in the end, she chose to endure it.

But she herself was a little unsure whether she could handle it if the main soul over there broke free.

After thinking about it in his mind, he finally grabbed the bottles of elixirs, took a look at them, poured them out and swallowed them into his belly, where he silently refined them.

In the next two days, Ziyun, who broke free from the Heavenly Fire God Chain, finally recovered to some extent with the power of the elixir.

The figure then floated up, and a pair of arms that looked like they were carved from white jade stretched out from the originally empty sleeves, moving there a little, as if they were adapting.

However, this was just a more advanced illusion technique. Zi Yun took a look at it twice, sighed in her heart, and put it down.

As for her lower body, from the long black skirt, one pair of embroidered brocade boots poked out, but they were still transformed into some of her past appearance.

After taking a closer look, he saw that he couldn't see through it, so he retracted it under his skirt and walked out of the grotto.

After coming out, I said a few words to Hu Ming, then left Hu Ming, who was about to dismantle the stone room and collect the lapis lazuli stones, and started walking alone in the Green Trace Swamp.

The green trace swamp full of miasma and poisonous insects is naturally nothing to this corpse mandrill. Those miasma and poisonous insects are not as toxic as the corpse poison in her body.

Although she has refined the resentment and corpse energy in her body over the past few decades, she has not been able to break away from the corpse mandrill. Now she can only be said to be a less vicious corpse mandrill.

But in the final analysis, he is still a corpse mandrill, and the corpse poison in his body and the mandrill's tyrannical body and great strength are still there.

For this reason, walking around the green trail swamp at this time feels like walking in the backyard.

After being trapped for ten thousand years, she was naturally a little happy to be freed once. At this time, she was happy to enjoy the peace and joy quietly.

The only thing she felt was that the environment was not good enough. She wished there were more flowers.

Rather than these miserable green miasmas and ugly poisonous insects that she didn't like very much after seeing them.

After walking quietly for a while, the joy in my heart gradually disappeared, and when I looked at the various things in this swamp, I felt more and more disgusted.

After thinking for a moment, she turned around and walked towards the underground stone room.

When she came over, she saw that Hu Ming's movements seemed to be much more agile than she expected. In just a short time, the lapis lazuli stone chamber was almost demolished.

This lapis lazuli is almost completely immune to the five elements of magic, and magic weapons can only be bombarded with huge force.

Originally, it was a somewhat troublesome material for the monks to put away, but now it seemed a bit fragile in Hu Ming's hands.

A black sharp blade, like cutting tofu, cut the stone chamber covering an area of ​​several acres into pieces about ten feet square, and then put them into the jade storage belt.

When Zi Yun came back after relaxing, she saw that only the last small corner of the stone room was left.

And this small corner was also under her gaze. In the blink of an eye, it was cut and put away by Hu Ming. Then, Hu Ming looked around and dug out the altar in the stone room.

With a scratchy look, he put away all the items worth mentioning.

"..." Zi Yun looked at Hu Ming's movements speechlessly.

Hu Ming didn't think there was anything wrong at all. He dug out the altar, put it away, and then checked it carefully. When he saw that nothing was missing, he turned around.

"Let's go. Senior is now out of trouble. It's time to celebrate. It just so happens that junior has thought of a perfect pure place to take senior there." Hu Ming said with a smile, as if he had just searched and looked a little happy at the moment.

Ziyun looked at Hu Ming and finally nodded.

Hu Ming was quite satisfied when he saw that the trust level on the head of this mandrill, which seemed to have good potential, had reached more than 70 years.

He took this person directly to the secret realm of Xuanyin Cold Qi that he had set up in order to refine the dry blue ice flame.
