Chapter 359 News
“But you still think too highly of me, Senior. My ears can only hear sounds within a few miles. It is far from the real supernatural power of the Wind-Earing Hearing in ancient legends.
If it weren't for the special kindness of the senior, who rewarded me with such a precious healing elixir and a top-grade foundation-building elixir, it would be almost impossible for me to build a foundation even with this weak magical power. "Soon, Ren Xiaoyao said with a humble and grateful look on his face.
"What you call several miles should be different from ordinary miles, right?" Xia Daoming said with a smile.
Ren Xiaoyao showed a hint of hesitation when he heard this, but he finally replied: "Senior, please be wise. Within a few miles, the conversations in the ordinary restricted area, as well as the voice transmissions of those below the Golden Core Ancestor, cannot escape my ears."
Xia Daoming was slightly moved when he heard this, and he finally understood why Ren Xiaoyao, a mere Qi-refining cultivator, knew so many secret information back then.
With such magical powers, it is almost equivalent to a mobile intelligence receiver.
Who could have expected that private conversations and conversations in rooms with soundproofing restrictions could be overheard openly by others.
"It seems like I really have to be careful about whether there are ears next door in the future!" Xia Daoming thought to himself, and casually took out a clam from the spirit beast bag and placed it on the table in front of him.
The clam opened its mouth, and mist escaped, lingering around the room, creating all kinds of bizarre and strange scenes.
The changes of the mirage can be so real that they can interfere with all kinds of spying. It is much more convenient than Xia Daoming taking out the array plate to set up the array.
When Ren Xiaoyao saw Xia Daoming take out the clam spirit beast and use its mirage energy to set up another layer of restriction, his expression couldn't help but become a little subtle.
However, Ren Xiaoyao soon seemed to realize something and bowed and said, "Senior, you asked me to come here this time. Do you have any instructions?"
"I want to know some news about Xuantian Pavilion." Xia Daoming said.
"Senior, are you referring to the incident in which Master Ma Ling, the Nascent Soul Elder of Xuantian Pavilion, was killed in the waters of Tieshan Island a few days ago?" Ren Xiaoyao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he blurted out.
Xia Daoming nodded without comment and said, "Tell me what you know."
"Yes, senior." Ren Xiaoyao said respectfully: "As far as I know, Elder Ma came to Iron Fan Island more than five months ago. Not long after Elder Ma came to Iron Fan Island, Iron Fan Island issued a bounty order to find a Jindan cultivator named Yuwen Feng from the Xingyue Sect of Daliang State in the Great Xuan Realm.
Not many days later, Yuwen Feng was found, and Elder Ma took her away from Iron Fan Island. But not many days after Elder Ma left, Yuanying Elder Fang Tongxuan of Xuantian Pavilion and Supreme Elder Pang Tong of Xingyue Sect brought many Jindan monks to visit Iron Fan Island.
Soon after, the shocking news spread that Elder Ma had been killed and Yuwen Feng had disappeared. For a time, the entire Iron Fan Island waters were alarmed and people were in panic.
You have to know that each of the Nascent Soul ancestors is a powerful figure with great magical powers. Moreover, it is rumored that Elder Ma has been training in the early Nascent Soul realm for more than 300 years. His true energy and magical power are very strong. Even if an ancestor in the middle Nascent Soul stage wants to kill him, it will be difficult.
As a result, Elder Ma died in the waters of Iron Fan Island. If it was done by a demon, then Iron Fan Island would inevitably be brought about a bloody disaster.
Because Yuwen Feng's soul lamp was still burning in Daliang, she became the key figure in this case. Not only were the people from Xuantian Pavilion and Xingyue Sect looking for her, but Iron Fan Island, as the landlord, also sent a large number of people to look for her.
It's just that Yuwen Feng seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. After more than three months of searching, there was no trace of her. Just when people thought she must have left the hundreds of thousands of miles of sea near Tieshan Island long ago, she was found a few days ago."
Even though Xia Daoming was determined, his face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he blurted out, "What was the result? Was he caught?"
"No. It was said that this woman was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core. At that time, six Golden Core cultivators surrounded her, one of whom was in the late stage of the Golden Core. Logically, they should have been able to capture her.
As a result, it was unexpected that this woman had actually advanced to the late Jindan stage, and her strength was far beyond that of an ordinary late Jindan ancestor.
An ancestor in the late Jindan stage, plus three ancestors in the middle Jindan stage and two ancestors in the early Jindan stage, not only could not trap her, but she also killed two of them and seriously injured four. Even the ancestor in the late Jindan stage was seriously injured, and it was said that his Jindan was damaged.
By the time the Yuanying Patriarch received the message and rushed over, the woman had already disappeared. Later, it was said that the woman had appeared in the waters near Mingyou Island and had fought with Cangmingzi.
Cang Mingzi and several Jindan monks only managed to injure her, but she eventually escaped. After that, there was no news of her at all. She must have fled to a more distant sea area."
"Cang Mingzi and many Jindan cultivators could only injure her but could not capture her. It seems that she is an early Yuanying cultivator." Xia Daoming spoke in a flat tone after hearing this.
But Ren Xiaoyao, who possessed the natural ability of sharp hearing, keenly detected a hint of murderous intent in his tone. His heart skipped a beat and a chill ran down his back.
He now found it increasingly difficult to understand this mysterious senior in front of him.
Back then, when he had just completed his foundation building, he paid special attention to the Xuanwu Secret Realm, which even the Nascent Soul Ancestor was afraid of.
When we met again today, not only had he broken through to become the Golden Core Ancestor, he even dared to murder the Yuanying Ancestor.
"Senior is wise. That Cang Mingzi is indeed an ancestor in the early Nascent Soul stage." Soon Ren Xiaoyao lowered his eyes and said honestly.
"By the way, is there any evil place in this area where a lot of evil spirits gather?" Knowing that Yu Wenfeng had already fled far away, Xia Daoming quickly changed the subject. "An evil place where a lot of evil spirits gather!" Ren Xiaoyao's face turned pale when he heard this.
"That's right. The more and more powerful evil spirits there are, the better." Xia Daoming said.
"Senior, this kind of place not only has no opportunities at all, but is also extremely dangerous. Not to mention a Jindan ancestor going in, even a Yuanying ancestor would be in danger." Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao's face changed several times and he reminded carefully.
"You don't have to worry about this. You just need to tell me if there is such a place in this area." Xia Daoming said.
Ren Xiaoyao saw that Xia Daoming would not listen to his advice, so he had to say, "Yes, there is, but it is not in the waters of Tieshan Island, but in the waters of Mingyou Island a million miles away.
It is said that there is a ghost abyss on the sea about 100,000 miles away from Mingyou Island. The abyss is bottomless, and there is a cold wind blowing all year round. Every day, there are shrill ghost cries.
Even every few years, a large amount of ghost fog and dark energy would burst out, sweeping across tens of thousands of miles of sea. At that time, that sea area would become a hell on earth, countless aquatic creatures would be wiped out, and the people passing by would be devoured by thousands of ghosts.
Affected by this, the sea surface surrounding Mingyou Island is often blown by cold winds and filled with dark energy all year round. From the outside, it does not look like a place for spiritual practice at all, hence the name Mingyou Island.
It is said that Cang Mingzi got the opportunity on Mingyou Island and practiced the Yin Ming Jue. This technique is extremely cold, evil and poisonous, and very powerful. Even if a person of the same level is entangled by his Yin Ming Qi, it will take a lot of time to refine it and expel it from the body.
Therefore, in this sea area with a radius of millions of miles, people generally do not want to provoke people from the Mingyou Island. Whether it is true or not, I just heard it from hearsay. After all, that place is too far away for me.
However, if you are really going to the Ghost Abyss in the sea area of Mingyou Island, you must be careful and alert to the people of Mingyou Island. As for the Ghost Abyss, it goes without saying that it is enough to explore the periphery and never go deep into it. "
Speaking of which, Ren Xiaoyao gave a suggestion from the bottom of his heart.
Xia Daoming looked at Ren Xiaoyao's sincere expression and his heart moved slightly, but he smiled indifferently on his face, and then asked some specific questions about Guiyuan.
Ren Xiaoyao answered all of them in detail.
"By the way, do you have any news about the Soul Refining Bead?" After learning about Guiyuan's situation, Xia Daoming became interested and asked about the Soul Refining Bead again.
The battle with Master Ma Ling a few months ago was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for the miraculous effect of the divine pearl at the last moment, even if Xiao Jin rushed out at the critical moment, he would definitely not have been able to stop Master Ma Ling.
This also made Xia Daoming truly realize that the Thorn God Pearl was an essential weapon for assassinating Nascent Soul cultivators, so if possible, he would naturally look for a few more Soul Refining Pearls and make a few more Thorn God Pearls for backup.
Anyway, he has the boundless sea of blood as his foundation, and his qi and blood are strong and abundant. If he nourishes a few more thorny divine beads, he will not suffer from blood deficiency.
Unlike cultivators of the Qi-refining sect, if they only take one pill, their body's Qi and blood can still handle it. If they take one or two more, they will probably suffer from blood deficiency, which will affect the vitality of Qi and blood in their body.
"Soul Refining Bead?" Ren Xiaoyao was slightly stunned when he heard this and shook his head subconsciously.
Xia Daoming was a little disappointed when he saw Ren Xiaoyao shaking his head, but it was also within his expectations.
The Soul Refining Bead is a rare and obscure item that few people know how to use. The Soul Refining Grass that produces this bead is almost extinct nowadays, so it is normal that Ren Xiaoyao has never heard of it.
"In that case, then it's okay!" Xia Daoming quickly stood up and prepared to leave.
"No, please wait a moment, senior. I seem to have heard someone talking about this Soul Refining Bead once, but time has passed and my memory is vague. Please allow me to recall it carefully." When Ren Xiaoyao saw Xia Daoming stand up, a light seemed to suddenly flash in his mind, and he hurriedly said.
"Oh! Don't be anxious, think about it carefully." Seeing this, Xia Daoming couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face and sat down again.
"Yes, senior." Ren Xiaoyao replied respectfully and closed his eyes.
Not only does he have the ability to hear things from afar, but he has also been using it to listen to all kinds of gossip since he was young. He then organizes, analyzes, and records them down every day. Over time, he has developed a memory that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
After a while, Ren Xiaoyao opened his eyes with a complicated expression on his face.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. I'm just asking casually." Xia Daoming comforted her.
"Senior, you have misunderstood, it's just..." Ren Xiaoyao hesitated to speak.
"So you remembered it. Go ahead." Xia Daoming was delighted and asked urgently.
"Come to think of it, I heard this at the last Jiazi auction on Iron Fan Island. There were cultivators coming from all over the place, including people from Mingyou Island." Ren Xiaoyao said after hesitating for a moment.
