Chapter 1243: Endless Sea
“Good!”
Everything was the same as it was recorded in the jade slip. Liu Ming was half relieved. It was all due to his alchemy ability, but the following process was the most important.
As soon as he raised his hand, a golden light flew out from his body. It was the mind imitation insect.
Liu Ming chanted and tapped his forehead. A translucent substance flew out. It was his mental power that had been honed over time. It turned into translucent silks in mid-air, entwined around the mind imitation insect, and formed a bubble-like thing.
With a wave of his hand, the mind imitation insect was wrapped in the translucent bubble, and it slowly sank into the dark purple liquid in the voodoo vessel.
Liu Ming’s face contorted for a while. As as soon as his mental power touched the purple liquid in the voodoo urn, an excruciating pain immediately passed over.
The mind imitation insect also screamed in pain, rushing left and right in the confinement of Liu Ming’s mental power. It made Liu Ming feel even more pain.
Liu Ming took a deep breath. After his eyes twitched a few times, his face gradually calmed down. He continued to chant and change gestures.
As the air bubble enclosing the mind imitation insect completely submerged into the purple liquid, there were a few soft poofs.
Several bubbles appeared on the surface of the purple liquid. After the bubbles burst, a small vortex emerged. The center of the vortex was the mind imitation insect.
The liquid in the vessel slowly began to fuse into the mind imitation insect’s body, and the mind imitation insect let out bursts of painful hissing sounds.
Liu Ming’s face turned pale instantly, but his movements did not stop at all.
This was just the beginning…
A few days later, in the living room of the cave house. Qian Rupin was sitting in front of the round table with a somewhat uneasy look.
It took 3 months for her to completely stabilize her cultivation with the help of various elixirs
But as soon as she came out,, she discovered that Liu Ming had already returned and locked himself in his secret room. He also set up a solid isolation enchantment around it.
“It’s been 40 days…”
Qian Rupin was playing with a communication talisman in her hand, which was given to Qian Rupin by Liu Ming before he retreated to refine the voodoo, but he did not elaborate on the reason for his retreat.
“Is Brother Ming practicing some kind of mystic art again?” Qian Rupin secretly guessed.
At this moment, a green light flickered in the secret room where Liu Ming was, and the enchantment suddenly dissipated. The door gradually opened with a squeak, then an excited long laugh came from inside.
In a flash, Liu Ming’s figure appeared in the hall. On his shoulder lay a strange insect about half a foot long. It looked like a dark silkworm. The dark purple body was covered with circles of pale gold patterns and spots. Its head had a small blood-colored eye and a white skull mark.
“Brother Ming! Ah…”
Qian Rupin stood up quickly. When she saw the purple silkworm on Liu Ming’s shoulder, she panicked as if she saw something extremely terrifying.
“Sorry, I forgot to put it away.” Liu Ming saw this scene and smiled dumbly.
While speaking, he launched a symbol and recited a few incantations. The purple silkworm let out a soft hiss and curled its body.
The next moment, it turned into a cloud of dark purple gas and merged into Liu Ming’s skin.
Qian Rupin breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. She patted his chest and said with some lingering fear,
“Brother Ming, what was that just now?”
“It’s just a voodoo I have just refined. It has a special effect on the cultivator’s mind, that’s why you feel uncomfortable.” Liu Ming said lightly, but he was secretly happy.
Qian Rupin was now a Crystallization Period cultivator, but she was still frightened by a small portion of the power emitted by the Soul Absorb Voodoo. It seemed that the power of the Soul Absorb Voodoo was still beyond his expectations.
After a few days.
In the lobby of the Little Huan Courtyard’s cave house, Liu Ming was telling Qian Rupin about his training experience.
Suddenly, Liu Ming’s expression changed, and he caught a black talisman that flew in from outside.
After seeing the word “Tong” on the talisman, he stuck the talisman on his forehead.
After a while, Liu Ming showed great joy and stood up suddenly.
“Brother Ming, what makes you so happy?” Qian Rupin asked with a puzzled look.
“I posted a mission to find the cold incense whale in Tong Zhan Pavilion before. I didn’t expect that there would be news today. I’m afraid I’m going for a far trip again.” Liu Ming explained with a slight smile after hearing this.
“Brother Ming, you used to let me stay in the cave house because of my lack of cultivation. Now that I have reached the Crystallization Period, you can’t let me stay here again, can you? Besides, you also said that this cold incense whale is extremely difficult to capture. I happen to be proficient in arrays, so maybe I can help you!” Qian Rupin said with a hint of expectation.
“Then… If that’s the case, you can go with me.” Liu Ming nodded after thinking for a while.
Qian Rupin was immediately overjoyed. After preparing quickly, she followed Liu Ming out of the cave house.
After a while, they came to an elegant room in the Tong Zhan Pavilion.
The elegant room was not big, but the layout was fairly clean. 3 cultivators were already sitting at a curved stone table.
The leader was a young man wearing a green robe, and on both sides were a young woman in her thirties with a scar and a burly muscular man.
It was Yan Qing and the others who came to visit Liu Ming when he first moved into Little Huan Courtyard.
The moment everyone met, Liu Ming suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
“Mr. Liu, I didn’t expect you to be the one who posted the mission. Seems like we are bonded by fate.” Seeing this, Yan Qing was slightly taken aback, then he got up and cupped his fist.
The other two also smiled slightly and bowed.
For Qian Rupin who came together, Yan Qing and the others just took a look and didn’t say much.
“Since we are all acquaintances, then I will not be too polite. The news of the cold incense whale is very important to me, I hope you can give me good news.” After Liu Ming bowed back, he said lightly.
“It’s a coincidence. A few days ago, I set off from the west of the city with my fellow friends to the Endless Sea to do a mission. As a result, we were accidentally chased by a group of sky-swallowing sharks, then we fled into an island full of white mist in a panic. After we hid there for several days, we accidentally found a huge whale that was eating. Thanks to Fairy Jing’s careful observation, she recognized that this beastkin was the rumored cold incense whale. I happen to often go to Tong Zhan Pavilion, so I knew there was such a mission and hurried back.” After Yan Qing looked at his companions, he said slowly.
“Oh, how far is that island from here?” Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked expectantly.
“In order to avoid the sky-swallowing sharks, we made a detour. If flying straight, it only takes about 8 days.” Yan Qing said after thinking.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll need you to lead the way. Of course, the mission is just to help me find the location of the cold incense whale. I won’t bother you to help me at that time.” Liu Ming pondered for a while and said lightly.
Yan Qing and the others naturally had no objection to this.
A moment later, several escape lights soared into the sky from the port on the east side of Luo City and flew in the direction of the Endless Sea.
…
A few days later, somewhere in the Endless Sea.
The water below waas very calm. Except for the occasional waves, there were hardly any movements on the sea, but there was a faint misty white mist in all directions. Although it would not affect the line of sight, it added a hint of mystery to the Endless Sea.
There was a burst of whistling sound as 5 escape lights of different colors flew across the sea.
In the escape lights, 3 men and 2 women could be vaguely seen. It was Liu Ming and others who had been flying here day and night.
The continuous uninterrupted flight would naturally not have any problems for Liu Ming and other Real Pellet State cultivators, and Qian Rupin was fine under Liu Ming’s care.
At this moment, Yan Qing, who was flying in the forefront, suddenly slowed down, and the 4 people in the back also stopped after seeing this.
“Mr. Liu, if I remember correctly, the island is less than a thousand miles ahead.” Yan Qing looked around, then he said with certainty.
Hearing this, Liu Ming squinted and looked into the distance.
In the distance ahead, through the layers of white mist, he could vaguely see a mass of white mist that was obviously denser than other places, almost covering a range of hundreds of miles. With his eyesight and Divine Thought, he still couldn’t see through it.
As for whether there was an island in it, it was still unknown for now.
After Liu Ming nodded noncommittally, they continued their journey. After flying for half a day, they came to the dense white mist.
After some testing, it was found that the mist had no other effects except for shielding Divine Thought.
The 5 of them plunged into it immediately. After a while, a large island with a somewhat strange appearance came into view.
The upper half of the island was actually covered with tall white vegetation while the lower half was full of bare black rocks without any plants at all.
The whole island seems to be cut in half from the middle, forming 2 distinct colors of black and white.
In the waters near the beach, it was covered by a piece of dark green seaweed.
“Mr. Liu, this is the island where we hid before.” Yan Qing looked at the black and white island in front as he said.
“Ink tooth grass, this thing is the favorite of the cold incense whale. It is reasonable for the cold incense whale to build its nest here. However, the cold incense whale is timid by nature. If we search the entire island blatantly, it will be troublesome once it’s alarmed.” Liu Ming glanced at the dark green seaweed around the island and said thoughtfully.
“Ping’er studies arrays since young, so I can set up a trap to bind the cold incense whale. However, because this place is huge, I’m afraid I need you guys to maintain the array eyes at the critical moment.” Qian Rupin rushed out from the side upon hearing the words, then she said so after receiving Liu Ming’s nod.
TL: Wait, didn’t Yan Qing see Liu Ming post the mission that day? Are they going to raid him?
