Chapter 116 You Still Know Arrays

After the banquet, Li Yu bid farewell to the disciples of each faction and returned to the Kunlun resident.

Bai Qingying and the three Emei sisters are also here. Not many people from the Emei faction participated in this big competition, and the three of them came to see the world.

Li Yu observed with the Qi Wang technique, and Senior Sister Bai had already formed a golden elixir.

Whether it's Jiang Li, Senior Sister Xu, Senior Sister Bai from Emei, Senior Brother Shangguan from Shushan, for the Tianjiao who are fully cultivated by these big sects, the starting point of their cultivation path is the golden core. This point, ordinary disciples can't compare .

However, geniuses like Xu Yi and Tian Qi are just short of resources in the early stage. After crossing the hurdle of Jindan, practice is a matter of equality for all beings.

Li Yu didn't envy them either. Although he was only building the foundation now, it was not so easy for the golden core to reach the Yuanying. When he formed the core, they would still stay in the golden core.

The three sisters of the Zhao family have also succeeded in building the foundation. Even though they are just at the beginning of the foundation building, they can defeat the middle stage of the foundation establishment together, and have the strength to fight against the late stage of the foundation establishment.

The three sisters and Zhou Zixuan Ling'er were used to hanging out for a long time, so they simply lived in Kunlun.

Half a day later, Li Yu and the girls, together with the Yuanying Patriarch sent by Kunlun, went to the secret realm of Heavenly Dao to participate in the opening ceremony of the Immortal Dao Conference held by Tiandaozong.

The Heavenly Dao City is not the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm. To be exact, the entrance to the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm is on the towering giant peak in the center of the Heavenly Dao City.

Passing through a huge dragon gate hidden in the clouds, a hundred feet wide and hundreds of feet high, Li Yu stopped breathing for a moment when he came to another space, and was almost choked by the strong spiritual energy.

He originally thought that the aura of the Kunlun Cave was already strong enough, but he did not expect that the aura of the Secret Realm of the Heavenly Dao was several times stronger than that of the Kunlun Cave.

It wasn't just Li Yu who suffered from apnea, many disciples from other sects were caught off guard and even coughed after being choked, but this cough was also a happy cough, they wished they could be choked here every day.

Practicing in this kind of place, the speed of cultivation base improvement is much faster than in other places.

When refining Qi and building a foundation, because the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is limited, some ordinary secret realms are enough for cultivation. No matter how rich the spiritual energy is, their absorption speed is limited.

But after reaching the golden core stage, the reliance on spiritual energy in practice has greatly increased, and the higher the concentration of spiritual energy, the better.

Li Yu could also understand why many disciples of the great faction were unwilling to go back after they had been to the secret realm of Heavenly Dao once.

However, it wasn't just the aura here that shocked him.

Not far ahead, around a huge square, there are many seats arranged according to sect and power. The position of Tiandaozong is the main seat directly in front.

Kunlun is located a little further ahead, just below and to the left of Tiandaozong.

Li Yu glanced in the direction of Tiandaozong, and his brain was buzzing instantly.

There are 35 Nascent Soul Patriarchs in Kunlun, counting the Master Teachers, of which there are only nine in the late Nascent Soul Sect. But Li Yu glanced at the area of ​​Tiandaozong, and there was a purple light flashing on his chest. He didn't count them in detail. There were more than 100 people, plus those who didn't attend, there must be more than [-] people in the Nascent Soul Stage of Tiandaozong.

This number may be more than the elders of Jindan in Kunlun.

As for the stage of transforming gods, there are only nine in Kunlun, but among the strong Tiandaozong, like the old man, Li Yu can't see through the cultivation base at all, there are more than [-] of them, and these are definitely not the transformations of Tiandaozong. god.

Not to mention the legendary "Three Elders of the Way of Heaven", the three ancestors of the Shattering Void level.

No wonder Tiandaozong disciples are so arrogant outside, they really have the capital to be arrogant.

Until today, Li Yu had a clear understanding of the strength of Tiandaozong.

With this kind of strength, a Tiandaozong can sweep away all the orthodox sects except Tiandaozong. Whoever dares to refuse can only hold back.

Li Yu's eyes lingered on the bodies of those who had transformed themselves into gods. He had never seen transformed into gods before, and it seemed that the qi-watching technique could only see through the cultivation bases below the transformed gods. useless.

The strong men of Tiandaozong made no secret of their strong aura. Although there was no malice, this invisible oppression still made many disciples with low cultivation bases a little breathless.

I thought that Kunlun, Emei, and Shushan were already rare big sects in the world, but I didn't know until Tiandaozong that a mountain is higher than a mountain. There is actually a cultivating sect in this world that is so powerful.

At the opening ceremony, most people didn't remember what the head of Tiandaozong who had cultivated in the transformation stage said. They didn't have the heart to watch the various programs that followed, even the dances performed by the female disciples of Tiandaozong in cool clothes. , everyone's hearts are always immersed in the powerful display of Tiandaozong's strength.

Li Yu recovered quickly.

Nothing in this world is eternal. The former Tianyan Dynasty was stronger than the current Tiandaozong, and now it is completely submerged in the long river of history. Few people know...

However, he didn't look at the dancing female disciples either.

Because Jiang Li was sitting on his left, and Zhou Zixuan was sitting on his right. One was an official couple of dual cultivators, and the other was a girlfriend who had just established a relationship. He could only look at his feet, or turn his head left and right to look at them.

Until the end of the ceremony, when everyone left the secret realm of heaven and returned to their residences, many disciples were still silent.

Li Yu and Jiang Li will have nothing to do for the next half month. The communication between Dan Dao and Faxiu will be half a month later. During this period, they can move freely.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Yu happened to sell some of the accumulated pills.

After taking over Yuxuan Peak, he has to refine a lot of pills every month, which can't be digested by a single Kunlun. This time, he just took advantage of the opportunity of the immortal exchange to sell all those pills.

So, Li Yu started his old business and set up a street stall in Tiandao City.

The quality of the elixirs he refined was of course of no account. Once they were put out, they were looted by passers-by, especially after being recognized, some people on the sidelines rushed to buy them.

After a long time, Li Yu exchanged all the pills in his hand for spirit coins.

The price of pills in Tiandao City is much more expensive than that of Kunlun. Ordinary pills are [-]% more expensive. The price of precious pills like Juqi Pill and Tongmai Pill is even more expensive. No wonder many people resold it before. Kunlun elixir, if you change hands, you will double the profit, no one is jealous.

The only thing that makes Li Yu unhappy is that after he sold it for a while, a manager of Tiandao City was watching from the sidelines. All transactions in Tiandao City have to pay taxes. Taxes, and expelled from Tiandao City.

The tax rate in Tiandao City is very high, and [-]% of the sales proceeds must be handed over. Li Yu reluctantly paid tens of thousands of spirit coins, and bought dozens of Tongmai Pills in Tiandaozong's shop, I plan to go back and exchange for Tuomaidan.

He originally wanted to buy Tuomai Pill, but unfortunately, all shops do not sell third-tier pills. This kind of high-rank pill can only be obtained by becoming a disciple of Tiandaozong. It seems that even in Tiandaozong, Tuomaidan is not What a big deal.

Fortunately, there is no limit to the purchase of Tongmai Dan. Li Yu bought dozens of pills at a time. The seller was just a little surprised, but the pill was brought to him anyway.

After all, spirit coins are issued by Tiandaozong. Other cultivators exchange labor and resources for spirit coins. Of course, they can also exchange spirit coins for resources. If this rule is broken, the reputation of Tiandaozong will be wiped out, and it is hard to establish The Lingcoin system will also collapse.

……

On the first day of the Immortal Dao Conference, there was an exchange of formations.

Li Yu had nothing to do, so he took Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan to observe. The three Emei sisters also followed. Xu Qingxin was worried and followed them.

The exchange of formations takes place on a stepped mountain.

It's an exchange, but it's actually a competition.

On each step of that mountain peak, there is a formation. Disciples from various factions participating in the competition need to break through each formation. The first to break all the formations and reach the highest step can take away the competition. First prize.

For the sake of fairness, the first-tier array mage, the second-tier array mage and the third-tier array mage have separate competitions. The reward for the first-tier array mage is ten Tongmai Pills, and the reward for the second-tier array mage is ten pulse-extending pills. , As for the third-tier formation masters, their cultivation has generally reached the golden core stage, and there are no pills that can be used. The reward is a precious book of high-level formations.

In the past, the exchange of formations was usually the home field of Huashan Sect and Tiandao Sect, and the disciples sent by other sects were all to set off their green leaves.

The Huashan School is famous for its formations. Half of the formation masters in the world of cultivating immortals are in Huashan. There is no lack of formation geniuses, and they are also capable of fighting with the Huashan faction.

This time, Kunlun only sent a Tier [-] formation master.

If you can't get a ranking, you can't get a ranking. You have to send someone to participate. The huge Kunlun can't even send a second-order formation master. It will make people laugh...

Li Yu asked Xu Qingxin, "Is the exchange of formations just a competition to break the formation?"

Xu Qingxin nodded and explained: "The previous formation competition was to make formation flags and formation disks, but this overlapped with the refining script, and it took a long time. Later, it was changed to breaking the formation. As far as mages are concerned, it is actually not difficult to make formation flags and formations, but the difficult part is to calculate formation eyes, which requires extremely familiarity with each formation and knowing how they change from moment to moment..."

Formation is different from alchemy. The way of formation includes refining formation tools, drawing formation patterns, and the most difficult formation understanding. Only by familiarizing with all the changes of formation can one deduce the location of formation eyes.

Li Yu felt that it was not difficult to calculate the eyes of the formation, and once the Qi Wang technique was activated, it was clear where the eyes of the formation were.

For him, the most difficult thing is to make the formation flag and the formation plate. This thing not only involves refining weapons, but also talismans. An excellent formation mage, the general level of refining weapons and calligraphy symbols is not bad.

If the formation competition is to find the eye of the formation, then he can go to him.

Of course, if Li Yu didn't have the qi-watching technique, Li Yu would be at the entry-level level of a formation master.
The first place in the competition, but the one with ten Tuomaidan, Li Yu pursed his lips, looked at Xu Qingxin, and asked, "Senior Sister Qingxin, can I participate in the formation competition?"

Xu Qingxin was slightly surprised, and asked, "Do you understand formations?"

Li Yudao: "I have learned a little. When I was in Ziyun Peak, a neighbor was a second-order formation master. I have learned a little formation from him."

Li Yu casually took out a copy of "Introduction to Formation" from the storage space, and said, "Hey, when I'm free, I often study formations, and here are my notes..."

Xu Qingxin glanced at it, and he really filled the book with notes.

But after reading an "Introduction to Formation", the level of communication with the formation of Tiandaozong is far behind...

Those who can participate in this exchange of formations are all leaders in the field of formations. They are familiar with the changes of various high-level formations, which is equivalent to the level of the top ten among Kunlun alchemists. Li Yu is only a formation at best. A law apprentice, with his cultivation in the foundation period, cannot participate in the first-order formation mage competition. If he participates in the high-level competition, he may not be able to crack even a single formation. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to go up...

She looked at Li Yu and said, "You have already established the foundation, and you can only participate in the second-order and above formation master competition. Do you know the second-order formation?"

Li Yudao: "Understand a little..."

Xu Qingxin asked again: "Do you really want to participate?"

Li Yudao: "If it's possible, I want to try it, but if it doesn't work, forget it..."

Xu Qingxin had no choice but to say: "Let me go and ask for you."

In the exchange of formations, Kunlun only had a Tier [-] formation master participating, accompanied by an elder of the Jindan stage, who was responsible for various matters of the competition.

Xu Qingxin walked up to the elder of the golden core stage, the old man cupped his hands to her proactively, and said, "I've seen Fairy Xu."

Although both of them are at the Golden Core stage, he is over 400 years old, Xu Qingxin is only in her early 20s, and her status in the sect is much higher than him.

After returning the gift, Xu Qingxin asked: "This elder, we Kunlun, do you still have a place to participate in the formation competition?"

Although the old man was a little surprised that someone from the sect wanted to participate in the formation competition, why did he say it now, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, every time there is an exchange of immortality, the sect's first-level, second-level, and third-level formation masters , there are ten quotas, but they can’t be used up every time.”

In fact, there are more than enough, the first, second, and third-tier array mages of the sect have thirty places this time, but the sect only sent a second-tier array mage over here, just going through the motions.

Kunlun alchemy is the only one, and he is really not good at formations. The high-level formations of the sect are all bought from Huashan and Tiandaozong.

If you really send [-] formation masters over and don't get a single ranking, then it would be a joke...

Only when alchemy is exchanged, the sect will send a total of thirty people.

Xu Qingxin asked again: "Can I still participate in the competition now?"

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the formation competition is not over, you can participate."

He looked at Xu Qingxin and asked, "Is Fairy Qingxin going to participate in the third-order formation master competition?"

When he was in the Zongmen, he had never heard that Fairy Qingxin understood formations. What's more, with her strength at the Jindan period, she could only participate in the third-tier formation master competition. She didn't know the third-level formation. Violently break the formation?
The third-order formation, Jindan stage magic power can't break it...

Xu Qingxin smiled slightly and said, "It's not me, it's Junior Brother Li."

The old man at the golden alchemy stage looked at Li Yu behind her, and was even more puzzled. Li Yu was good at alchemy, and everyone in Kunlun knew it, but an alchemist, participating in the formation competition, and a formation master participated in the alchemy competition in Kunlun. Than, in the end, he won the first prize...

But this time, he didn't say anything more, but silently handed Li Yu a sign.

If he wants to be ashamed, he can just throw it away. After a while, he can't even crack a single formation, and when he comes down in despair, don't blame himself for not stopping him.

Li Yu took the sign and followed the guidance, and quickly walked to the bottom of the mountain. Several Tiandaozong disciples checked his sign, waved their hands, and let him pass.

Looking at Li Yu's back, one of them couldn't help but said: "I just came now, this formation master is quite confident in himself, the few formation geniuses of the Huashan School are not as crazy as him..."

The formation competition tests the speed of breaking the formation, of course, the sooner you come, the better.

In this short period of time, the powerful formation masters of the Huashan School and Tiandaozong have already cracked the fifth formation, and he is late, how can he catch up with them?
Li Yu walked all the way and came to the first step.

Going forward, a soft force gently bounced him away, and there was obviously a formation in front of him.

There was no one in front of the first step. Li Yu looked forward and found that there was no figure on the second step. Most of the people stopped in front of the third step. A few people had already reached the fourth step, or even the third step. five steps.

They break the formation very fast, which is normal. Those who can come here have already been screened once in their respective sects. They are all elites among the second-order formation masters. , They are all indiscriminate killings.

Li Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the first formation.

Li Yu didn't know this formation. After all, he had only learned the basics of formations, and he hadn't learned all the formations of the first order, let alone the second order.

However, this is not difficult for him.

With a flash of light in his eyes, a faint cyan barrier appeared in front of him. The color of this barrier was evenly distributed, and there was only one position on the upper left, which was much darker than the surrounding area.

That's where the eye of the formation is, and it's also the weakest point of the entire formation.

Li Yu shot out a burst of mana, and the barrier in front of him shook, and then slowly disappeared. When Li Yu took a step and stepped over this step, the barrier appeared again, and the eye of the formation appeared in another position.

The design of this level is exquisite. After the formation is broken, it can be reset and the eyes of the formation will change, preventing others from imitating the possibility of breaking the formation.

On the square not far away, Xu Qingxin parted her red lips in surprise when she saw that Li Yu had actually cracked the first formation.

She looked at Zhou Zixuan and said in disbelief: "Does he really understand formations?"

Zhou Zixuan also looked blank, and said: "I don't know, I only know that he often reads books, such as books on formations, talismans, refining weapons, mechanism techniques..."

In front of the second staircase, Li Yu looked at the barrier and saw the eye of the formation, but when he stretched out his hand, the eye of the formation disappeared, and the next moment, another position appeared.

Compared with the last one, this formation has obviously more changes.

He stretched out his hand again and pressed on the weak point of the formation. After a moment, he had already appeared on the third ladder.

At this time, there were already many people beside Li Yu.

The first two levels were not difficult for these second-order formation masters, but the difficulty of this level increased significantly, and many people were stopped for a while.

They concentrated on studying the formation, but they didn't realize that there was one more person beside them.

Li Yu looked at the dozen or so second-order formation masters who stopped here. Among these people, there were two from Emei, three from Qingcheng, and two from Maoshan. There were disciples from almost every major sect. There was an old man wearing a Kunlun uniform.

They were all stopped by this formation.

Li Yu took a look. Of course, there is a formation eye in this formation, but the formation eye is not fixed in one position, but moves along a fixed trajectory. Wrong position, have to start all over again...

Everyone lined up in an orderly manner, and each person had thirty breaths of time, and if the formation was not broken within thirty breaths, they had to give up the opportunity to the next person and go to the back by themselves.

Li Yu was at the bottom of the row, and thirty breaths passed quickly. Four people in front of him passed this level, including Kunlun. After the formation is refreshed, the trajectory of the formation eyes will also change. , Those who are behind them have not enough time to calculate, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.

When it was Li Yu's turn, he pressed a certain position on the formation, and easily broke through the formation's eye, reaching the fourth step.

On the square, Xu Qingxin looked at Li Yu, who arrived at the fourth step without any hindrance despite being late for a long time, and finally no longer doubted it.

He really understands formations.

Not only understand, but understand very well.

But at this time, above the fourth step, many formation masters sat cross-legged to rest in place, and did not break the formation immediately, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

Calculating the position of the formation eye does not consume physical strength, but it consumes a lot of mind. After breaking through three formations in a row, their heads are already groggy, and there is no way to continue, so they can only rest first.

Among them, the second-order formation mage from Kunlun cast his gaze inadvertently, and his expression suddenly froze.

At this moment, he suspected that he had used his brain too much and had hallucinations.

Otherwise, how could he have seen Li Yu, the genius alchemist of the sect, in the fourth level of the second-order array mage competition?
