Before Liu Ming could understand what was going on, the yellow crystal bead suddenly produced a strong suction force, swallowing the black true fire that was wrapped around it.
His face turned pale with fright. He let out a low shout and immediately separated his hands after putting them together. Two black beams of light as thick as an arm shot out at the same time and injected into the crystal bead.
The yellow crystal bead buzzed and the light it emitted dimmed a little. However, it still flashed wildly with spirituality. Its entire body became translucent, and there was a faint ball of yellow light spinning wildly inside it.
In the face of this situation, Liu Ming did not dare to be negligent. His hands turned like wheels, and various spells shot out one after another. With great difficulty, he managed to slow down the spinning speed of the yellow light in the crystal bead, but he still could not stop it.
Seeing this, Liu Ming secretly complained in his heart.
He had originally planned to try refining this yellow crystal bead into a semi-finished "Pearl of Mountains and Rivers", but for some reason, when the First Yuan Heavy Water in the Heavy Water Bead came into contact with the magic treasure embryo, it was as if a volcano had been ignited. In an instant, the various materials inside the bead were completely smelted.
The current Pearl of Mountains and Rivers was no longer a semi-finished product, but was directly moving towards a finished product.
Moreover, the refining could no longer be stopped. If it was forcibly stopped, all the materials inside the bead would be wasted.
However, the amount of First Yuan Heavy Water contained in the two Heavy Water Beads was too little. If this continued, the final success rate would naturally be pitifully low.
Liu Ming smiled bitterly. He finally understood what it meant to be in a dilemma.
Refining magic treasures used spiritual materials. The most difficult thing was how to balance the spirituality of the various materials and combine them into one without collapsing.
Especially now that the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers lacked a large amount of Heavy Water, it was even more difficult.
"Spirituality … that's right, the Spirit Nurturing Cauldron!"
Liu Ming was secretly anxious. Suddenly, he thought of the Spirit Nurturing Cauldron he had just obtained.
According to Ye Rou of the Celestial Work Sect, this treasure came from an ancient refining sect. Its important function was to add spirituality to magic treasures, which should be helpful in the current situation.
Moreover, according to what Lan Si said, Ji Ying conspired to obtain the Spirit Nurturing Cauldron for a great purpose, and perhaps it was also for the sake of these twelve Beads of Mountains and Rivers.
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated, and silver light flashed as a small silver cauldron appeared before him.
Liu Ming immediately used the ability to multitask, splitting half of his mental power to continue refining the Mountain River Bead. At the same time, he opened his mouth to spit out a burst of black light, and the other half of his mental power began to quickly refine the Spirit Nurturing Cauldron in front of him.
The Spirit Nurturing Cauldron slowly began to glow with silver light, and countless runes began to appear. The runes began to flicker as if the entire cauldron had become a living being.
After half a day, a soft "chi la" sound was heard, and the mouth of the cauldron spouted silver threads, which automatically wrapped around the yellow crystal bead in front of it.
The surging yellow light in the yellow crystal bead finally calmed down!
Liu Ming could faintly feel that the spirituality of the various spiritual materials that had been fiercely colliding inside the crystal bead had a tendency to fuse together again.
"This Spirit Nurturing Cauldron really has endless uses. I only refined it a little, and I'm afraid I haven't even used one-tenth of the effects of this treasured cauldron. It's worthy of being a treasure of an ancient refining sect!" Liu Ming was ecstatic, and hurriedly began to refine the cauldron again according to the method recorded on the Jade Slips.
However, in the current situation, in order to not cause a change in the bead again, the speed of refining was more than ten times slower than before.
"Master …" At this time, Scorpion walked in from the door of the stone room, and was shocked to see the scene in front of him.
"Scorpion, immediately sneak back to the entrance of the ruins and erase the traces of the battle there as much as possible. Also, make some messy traces in the swamp space in the ruins, and make a scene that the place has been swept clean. Try not to let people notice the existence of this place. "Liu Ming cautiously made a hand sign as he commanded.
If he wanted to complete the sacrificial refining of the Mountain River Bead now, it would take more than a few days. He estimated that it would take at least a month.
Although the palace here was hidden, and there was a restriction to conceal it, it was still difficult to guarantee that it wouldn't be noticed.
"Understood, Master!" Scorpion quickly nodded, and then his figure flashed and flew out of the palace.
"Fei 'er, you come out too." Liu Ming's heart moved, and he freed a hand. He gently patted the soul-recovering bag on his waist, and a cloud of black gas flew out, turning into the appearance of a green-robed child.
"Master, you finally remembered me!" Fei 'er called out in a childish voice.
"Fei 'er, this is the formation plate for the Universal Ferry Formation. I taught you how to set up the formation. Go and set up the formation to surround the entire palace, isolating the fluctuations of spiritual power from here. Don't let it spread outside." Liu Ming said, and with a wave of his hand, the formation plate and formation flags of the Universal Ferry Formation appeared and fell to the ground.
"Don't worry, Master!"
Fei 'er complied, and bent down to pick up the formation flags and formation plates on the ground. He quickly walked out, and didn't pester Liu Ming like he usually did. Although he was in the soul-recovering bag, he still understood the current situation.
After giving these instructions, Liu Ming slightly calmed down. He took out a medicinal pill, and placed a few high-grade spirit stones on his body so that he could replenish his magic power at any time.
After refining for a long time, the consumption and replenishment of magic power was an extremely important matter. Fortunately, he had no shortage of medicinal pills to restore magic power.
Liu Ming slowly exhaled, and calmed his mind. He muttered an incantation, and his ten fingers continuously flicked into the Bead of Mountains and Rivers to form a series of hand seals.
…
Just as Liu Ming began to refine the Bead of Mountains and Rivers, in the sky thousands of miles away from the ruins, a brilliant white starlight flew at an incomparably fast speed. It had a long tail behind it, like a bright meteor streaking across the sky.
The starlight suddenly paused in mid-air, and then fell straight down, landing in front of two tall peaks that were thousands of feet tall.
The starlight slowly dissipated, revealing the figure of a young man wearing a loose golden robe. It was Kim Tin-thi.
After he stabilized his body, his eyes flashed as he looked at the two peaks.
In terms of size, there was nothing special about the two peaks. However, one of them was incomparably silver, and most of its peak was covered in a layer of crystal clear ice and snow. The surrounding area was extremely cold.
The other mountain peak was a dazzling purple. It was covered with trees that looked like maple trees, and their leaves were suffused with a strange purple glow.
The two peaks were less than ten miles apart, and in the middle was a flat canyon full of dense trees. At this moment, a silver light flashed in the valley, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Kim Tin-thi's eyes flashed, and his figure moved forward.
When his figure approached the bottom of the valley, the surrounding void suddenly appeared with a faint ripple. Kim Tin-thi's body quickly submerged in it, and disappeared.
The void ripple slowly disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
The scene in front of Kim Tin-thi suddenly changed, and he appeared in a stone forest. A hemispherical blue light curtain with a radius of hundreds of feet enveloped the stone forest.
At this moment, there were more than ten figures standing or sitting in the stone forest. They were the disciples of Taiqing Gate, and there were several cultivators from other sects. The Ouyang sisters were also among them.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin, you're finally here. You've made us wait for so long!" When Qiu Longzi saw the person coming, he immediately strode over with joy and said with a loud voice.
When the rest of the disciples saw Kim Tin-thi appear, they also showed a big sigh of relief.
This upper realm ruins was a bit too cruel for the Crystallization Period cultivators like them.
"Junior Fellow Apprentice Qiu, why are you here? I returned to the previous temporary station a few days ago, and it had already become a ruin. It took me a lot of time to find this place according to the marks you left along the way. What happened? "Kim Tin-thi glanced around and asked with a flash in his eyes.
"Sigh, it's our bad luck. Two days after you left, a group of alien race cultivators somehow found us. We had a fierce battle, and we had to change our station. Two of our juniors died on the spot." Qiu Longzi's smile disappeared on his face, and he said with a heavy tone.
"This ruin is full of danger. Junior Fellow Apprentice Qiu, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Kim Tin-thi sighed when he heard the words.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin!" When Kim Tin-thi and Qiu Longzi were talking, two people came out from the crowd and bowed to Kim Tin-thi. They were Luo Tiancheng and Wen Ai.
"Alright, I'm relieved that the two of you are safe." Jin Tianci looked at the two of them and nodded.
"Junior Fellow Apprentice Luo and Junior Fellow Apprentice Wen found this place yesterday. I have already heard from them that you were attacked by the savage Beastkin Clan." Qiu Longzi said slowly.
"Now it's almost half of the one year deadline. According to the past records, I'm afraid that the people of various forces are beginning to move." Kim Tin-thi nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin is right. Nowadays, the upper realm ruins are getting more and more dangerous." Qiu Longzi glanced at the remaining Taiqing Gate disciples and said in a deep voice.
"By the way, do you have any information about Younger Brother Liu?" Kim Tin-thi suddenly asked.
"No, we have been here for more than ten days. Except for the three of you, no one else has been here." Qiu Longzi said with a flash in his eyes.
Hearing this, Kim Tin-thi frowned.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin, you don't have to worry too much. It's said that Younger Brother Liu is very powerful. I heard from Junior Fellow Apprentice Luo and Junior Fellow Apprentice Wen that when facing the attack of the Beastkin Clan, you guys escaped separately. Maybe Younger Brother Liu got rid of those pursuers and is still on the way. He hasn't found this place yet." Qiu Longzi said with a smile.
"I hope so." Kim Tin-thi sighed in his heart.
When everyone escaped separately, he clearly saw that the one chasing Liu Ming was another Jin Dan Beastkin Clan. Although Liu Ming was very powerful, he wasn't sure if he could escape from the Shadow Wolf Clan cultivator who was known for his speed.
In the following time, Jin Tianci asked about the general situation of the crowd. After gathering around for a while, everyone quickly dispersed and went to meditate and adjust their breathing.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice Jin, what should we do next?" Qiu Longzi and Kim Tin-thi walked to the side and discussed.
