Chapter 117 Cross-Boundary Competition
The second-order array mage of the Kunlun School really thought he was hallucinating at first.

Immortal cultivators have limited energy. In addition to their own mana cultivation, it is already quite remarkable to be able to intensively practice one discipline. For the other several disciplines, it is at most a superficial dabble. Step formation mage, this is not like refining weapons and mechanical techniques, there is something in common, alchemy and formation, there is no similarity at all.

So this person is definitely not Li Yu.

He shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Unexpectedly, there are such similar people in this world."

Li Yu saw the second-order formation mage of the same clan staring at him blankly, so he reached out to greet him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he put down his hand, the other party's eyes suddenly widened, with an expression of disbelief.

"You are Li Yu?"

"it's me."

This second-order formation mage in Kunlun was completely dumbfounded.

It's really Li Yu who gave it back!
He was able to get here, which shows that his formation mastery has surpassed most of the second-order formation masters. In the entire world of cultivating immortals, it is not impossible for him to be able to do this at the age of 20. Some of the Huashan School and Tiandaozong A genius disciple, who has been trained in formations since childhood, can also do...

But don't forget, this guy's job is an alchemist!
Whose alchemist came to Tiandaozong to participate in the second-order formation master competition, isn't this a mess?

Li Yu didn't know what the second-tier array mage was thinking. The fourth-tier array mages were all sitting on the ground to rest. No one competed with him for a position. In one position, mana poured into the eye of the formation, the formation disappeared, and he also reached the fifth floor.

Those who can enter the fifth floor in a short time must be extremely familiar with the second-order formation, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"so fast."

"Did you find the eye so quickly?"

"He didn't rest, and broke through three battles in a row, isn't he tired?"

"This person looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere, but I can't tell where..."

"When you put it that way, I also think he looks familiar..."

These formation masters don't pay much attention to Dan Dao on weekdays, and they didn't recognize Li Yu immediately.

The second-order formation master of Kunlun stared blankly at Li Yu's back. On the fifth floor, Li Yu actually made it to the fifth floor with such ease. Could this formation be fake?

He stretched out his hand in disbelief, touched the formation, and the next moment, his whole body was bounced back.

This made the expression on his face even more sluggish.

On the square below the mountain, there is a huge water curtain suspended.

Since the invention of the water moon technique, all sects in the world of cultivating immortals will use the water moon technique to project images when holding important events, so that others can watch them.

At each Immortal Dao Conference, the most attention-grabbing competitions are the Alchemy Competition and the Cultivation Competition. Although the popularity of the formation competition is not that high, there are quite a few people watching. Anyway, the onlookers do not accept spirit coins. Some people in Tiandao City, They will also come here to watch the excitement. There are at least thousands of onlookers present today.

For a clearer projection, on the water curtain, there are only pictures after the fifth floor. At this moment, there are 12 people on the fifth floor, six of them entered the sixth floor, and the last two people stopped on the seventh floor.

The disciples of these three layers, without exception, all come from Tiandaozong and Huashan.

It can be clearly seen that these two sects are far ahead of other sects in the way of formation.

At this time, there was a flash of light in the screen, and another figure stepped into the fifth floor, which also aroused some discussions among the crowd.

"Finally, people from other sects came up."

"I don't know which faction's formation master it is?"

"So young, and still good-looking."

"...Am I not mistaken, that person is Li Yu?"

"That's right, it's Senior Brother Li from the Kunlun School. Did he go to the wrong venue?"

"He is an alchemist, what is he doing at the place where the second-order formation masters compete?"

The people watching in the square could not hear the sound, they could only watch the competition screen, and they were a little bored. Li Yu's intrusion caused the originally quiet crowd to stir up in an instant.

Soon, people realized that Li Yu did not go to the wrong venue, and it is impossible to go to the wrong venue.

To get to that position, you need to go through four levels in a row.

"Could it be that he is not only a second-tier alchemist, but also a second-tier array mage?"

"I've never heard of it..."

"Where are the Kunlun disciples, let a Kunlun disciple tell me, is the Li Yu you sent really a second-order formation master?"

"I'm a Kunlun disciple, and I don't know when Senior Brother Li became a Tier [-] formation master..."

……

Before the fifth step, because the formation was blocked, Li Yu could not hear the sound from outside, but was carefully watching the formation in front of him.

After the fifth level, the changes of the formation have increased significantly. The formation eye of this formation changes very quickly. Even if it can be calculated, the hand will change its position if the hand is slower. But he is an open-book exam, so naturally there is no difficulty.

He pretended to calculate for a while, then broke through the formation hole and came to the sixth floor.

This kind of speed stunned the twelve second-order formation masters on the fifth floor.

The formation on the fifth level is not the first level, and the position of the formation eyes changes very quickly. They have already been dizzy and dizzy after breaking through the formation all the way here. The opponent can break the formation so quickly, obviously they know the formation very well.

After Li Yu came to the sixth level, the six people in the sixth level couldn't sit still.

They, who were still studying the formation, immediately walked to the front of the formation. Li Yu was not in a hurry, and stood at the end of the line, waiting quietly.

Several people tried one after another, but all ended in failure. On the Tiandaozong's formation competition, gathered formation geniuses from the entire world of cultivating immortals. The difficulty of each level of formation is higher than that of the previous level. It is impossible to break through the sixth layer formation.

After all six failed, Li Yu stood in front of the formation. After a while, he stretched out his hand and took a step forward. He had already reached the seventh floor.

Several people on the sixth floor opened their mouths in disbelief.

"Who is this person, the speed of breaking the formation is so fast, is it from the Huashan sect?"

"I thought it was from your Heavenly Dao Sect..."

"Not Huashan, nor Tiandaozong, where did he come from?"

……

After stepping on the seventh floor, Li Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, took two elixirs for restoring energy and nourishing the mind, and looked exhausted.

Although he hasn't revealed it yet, he still has to pretend, otherwise it would be too much.

This scene also made everyone feel a little comforted.

A second-tier alchemist broke into the sixth level of the second-tier formation master competition. If he didn't even take a break, he would really be off the mark...

The two people on the seventh floor, one is a young man from Tiandao Sect and the other is a young man from Huashan School. After seeing a stranger breaking into the seventh floor, they were surprised for a moment, then closed their eyes and adjusted their breath without being affected too much .

Li Yu came from behind, and he wasn't in a hurry as the two of them didn't start breaking the formation.

The young man from the Huashan School, after adjusting his breath for a quarter of an hour, walked to the front of the formation, looked at the formation for a long time, and finally pressed his right hand on a certain position of the formation, and successfully entered the eighth floor.

The disciple of Tiandaozong also entered the eighth level, and this level of formation was also not difficult for them.

After they entered the eighth floor, Li Yu waited for a while before following them in.

"It's the eighth floor, and Li Yu is also on the eighth floor!"

"Yang Jia is a fourth-tier formation master, Li Jingcheng is also a formation genius born in the Heavenly Dao Sect, Li Yu is an alchemy master, and he can keep up with their speed when breaking the formation..."

"It's really far away..."

Jiang Li and Xu Qingxin stood in the square, seeing the figure in the water curtain, looking at each other with confused faces.

As the people who know Li Yu best in this world, they don't know when Li Yu learned the formation.

Xu Qingxin was also puzzled, who was the one who made an exception to recruit her from Baiyun Temple to Kunlun, except for her talent in cultivation, she was good at everything else...

……

At the ninth floor formation, Li Yudu had been waiting for an hour, and the two people from Huashan and Tiandaozong remained silent.

He couldn't wait any longer. After all, Jiang Li, Zhou Zixuan and Senior Sister Xu were still waiting outside. Originally, he planned to watch the competition for a while and then take them shopping, but now he has been delayed for several hours.

He was the first to walk up to the formation on the ninth floor, pretending to look here and there, then quickly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the eye of the fast-moving formation, his magic power exploded, and he easily stepped into the tenth floor. layer.

If he breaks the last formation, he will be rewarded with ten extension pills.

No, it's not ten. If you get the first place in the exchange of formations, the sect will reward you with ten, a total of twenty extension pills, which are close at hand and easy to get.

Seeing that Li Yu had broken through the ninth layer formation, the two formation masters of the Huashan faction and Tiandaozong couldn't sit still anymore, and wanted to break through the formation before they had rested enough, but the ninth layer The formation is extremely complicated, and it is difficult to calculate the position of the formation eye. The more anxious they are, the less they can find it. After making several mistakes in succession, their minds are overdrawn, and they slump on the ground, looking at Li Yu with puzzled eyes.

Where did this guy come from?

Their rhythm was completely disrupted by him, without an hour's rest, there was no way to break it a second time.

In this exchange of formations, I originally thought that the winner must be one of the two. Who would have thought that such a guy would appear in the middle, and they even wondered if the other party was a third-order or fourth-order formation mage in disguise...

The two people behind rested, and Li Yu also rested.

After another hour, when the two of them started to break through the ninth level of formation, he began to break through the tenth level. The first time he broke through the formation, Li Yu deliberately failed, took two pills, and rested dejectedly .

It gave the pair a bit of comfort that they still had a chance.

However, the formation on the ninth floor is really not easy. They tried it once and failed again.

Seeing Li Yu on the upper floor make another move, the two of them immediately became nervous, hoping that he would not succeed.

But things went against their wishes, as soon as this thought arose in their hearts, that figure easily crossed that step and stood on the highest point.

The tenth most difficult formation was also cracked by him!
At this time, there was a complete uproar in the square below.

"No, Li Yu is the first?"

"The first place in the formation master competition was taken away by an alchemist?"

"The formation geniuses of Kunlun and Tiandaozong are probably about to cry..."

"How much did Senior Brother Li learn without telling us?"

……

In the square, disciples from various sects were talking about it, Xu Qingxin, Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan also stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

Where the referees were, the Kunlun Golden Core expert picked up a conch and excitedly said to it, "Teacher Zhenren, you would never have imagined that Li Yu would actually win the championship in the second-tier formation master competition... ..."

In the snail, Wang Daoxuan said calmly: "What's so strange about this, with his alchemy level, you should be so surprised that he didn't win the championship..."

After a while, his voice suddenly raised a bit, and he said uncertainly: "Which competition did you mention just now, say it again?"

He suspected that he had heard it wrong just now. Li Yu, a second-rank alchemist, won the first-rank competition with a second-rank formation mage?

What's the difference between this and the formation masters of the Huashan School who participated in the Kunlun second-rank alchemist competition and won the first prize?
In the snail, the Elder Jindan said excitedly: "The head teacher heard it right, he is a second-order formation master, Li Yu is not only extremely accomplished in alchemy, but also a master formation..."

A moment later, Wang Daoxuan put down the snail, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

But soon he figured out that it was impossible for Li Yu to be proficient in formations. At his age, this was impossible. However, his miraculous "Looking Qi Technique" could see through all kinds of formations. Array eyes.

It would be really difficult for him to refine the array flag and draw the array pattern, but it is really not difficult for him to break the array.

For those formation mages who have not cultivated the five spirit veins and do not know the Qi-watching technique, there are two conditions for breaking the formation. First, they must be extremely familiar with the formation method and the changes of the formation eyes. Second, they must have extremely fast calculation and reaction speed. , in order to calculate the real-time position of the formation eye.

But in Li Yu's eyes, the eyes of the formation are placed there naked, and there is no need to understand the formation method or calculate it.

A long time ago, in order to simplify the rules, Tiandaozong modified the content of the formation competition, but unexpectedly, Li Yu took advantage of the loophole.

The first place in the second-order formation mage competition was won by the Kunlun disciples, which was the first time in history.

In Tiandao City.

Li Yu was the first to crack all the formations, and the formation masters behind him saw that the number one had been taken away, so they were not in a hurry.

The formations on the ninth and tenth floors are extremely difficult. In previous competitions, it took at least two days before someone broke through them all.

Back to Jiang Li and the others, seeing the three girls looking at her with surprised eyes, Li Yu didn't hide it, and said via voice transmission: "Don't look at me like that, I don't really understand those formations, I'm just hopeful." It's just a technique..."

The elder of the golden core period in Kunlun brought Li Yu to a high platform, took a jade box from a stone platform, handed it to Li Yu, and said, "This is the reward for the first place in the second-order formation master competition. Received..."

In the jade box were ten Tuomai Pills, which Li Yu accepted safely.

There is no unified award for the competition in the Immortal Dao Conference, and the disciples who complete the competition first can take away their own rewards.

There are three stone platforms here. Li Yu took away the contents of one of the stone platforms, and Li Yu also glanced at the other two stone platforms.

On the stone platform at the far end, there is also a jade box, which contains twenty Tongmai Pills, which is the reward for the first-order formation mage competition. On the big stone platform in the middle, there is a jade slip similar to In addition, there is a small jade bottle next to the jade slip, which contains a light blue liquid.

Approaching the jade bottle, Li Yu found that the alchemy furnace in his body began to produce a kind of desire.

This desire is stronger than when facing the third-order spirit grass and elixir.

Li Yu pointed to the jade bottle and asked curiously, "What is this?"

The elder Jindan smiled and explained: "This is a bottle of Yimu spirit marrow, which is a precious alchemy material. After the foundation of the wood spirit veins is completed, taking the Yimu spirit marrow can greatly shorten the time for alchemy. , its value is no less than a fourth-order pill..."

Li Yu was a little surprised, "Why are you rewarding this for the formation master competition?"

Formation competitions, rewarding pills for improving cultivation, or formation flags, formation disks, formation books, etc., are quite normal, and this kind of spiritual essence is too targeted, and there is something inside at a glance.

The elder Jindan smiled and said: "In the past, the third-tier formation mage competitions only rewarded formation flags, formation disks, or formation secrets. This time, it is a third-level formation mage from Tiandaozong. Spiritual Essence, and he is a leader among Tier [-] Array Masters, there is more than [-]% chance of winning the first place in the competition, so he managed to add this reward, so that he can get it justifiably..."

Li Yu is no stranger to this kind of operation.

There are usually many people competing for good resources in the sect, and no one can convince the crowd. It is the easiest way to set it as a competition reward.

For example, the Pregnancy Pill he gave Jiang Li.

Another example is that Daoist Master Zhang wants to give him Tuomai Pill, but it is not easy to give it directly, so he will go around and double the reward of the second-rank alchemist, so that he can get the extra pill in a legitimate way. These are all sects unspoken rules.

But to do so, you need to have enough confidence in your own strength, if you are not strong enough, you are just making wedding dresses for others.

It seems that the third-order formation mage of Tiandaozong is very confident in his own strength.

The elder of Jindan in Kunlun is a formation master who knows more about things in the dharma world. He said: "Although there are more formation masters above the fourth rank in Huashan than Tiandaozong, the younger generation of formation masters in Tiandaozong are stable. At one end of Mount Hua, especially Luo Yuan, the third-tier formation master, is said to have obtained the inheritance of an ancient sect's formation technique in a certain secret realm, and is well-deserved No. 1 third-order formation master. prepared by his son."

He said with emotion: "In the past few hundred years, Tiandaozong has poached many geniuses from various sects, and they have to pick out the seedlings of immortal cultivation from secular countries. With this momentum, perhaps in hundreds or thousands of years, Huashan sect The title of the first sect of the formation is about to change hands..."

No wonder Li Yu discovered that the disciples of Tiandaozong were obviously more than one rank higher than the disciples of the same age in other sects. The genius of Tiandaozong is still remembered by Tiandaozong, and he will come to poach the wall from time to time. In this way, it is not surprising that Tiandaozong has today's strength.

Give those talented disciples and resources to Kunlun, and after a thousand years, Kunlun will also become the number one sect in the world of cultivating immortals.

Looking at the bottle of Yimu essence, Li Yu had some thoughts in his mind.

He wasn't doing it for himself, Senior Sister Xu cultivated the three spirit veins, but currently only the water spirit veins have formed the golden core, the wood spirit veins and the fire spirit veins should still be in the stage of compressing mana. The mana in the foundation building period itself exists in a liquid state. Even harder to compress, this bottle of Yimu spirit is of great use to her.

From Baiyun Temple to Kunlun, Senior Sister Xu has helped him a lot, whether it is entering the sect, becoming an alchemist, or practicing. Li Yu has always wanted to repay her, but he has no chance.

He was too weak to help her.

It would be great if he could win back this bottle of Yimu Spirit Essence and give it to her, and it would be a small repayment for her kindness.

However, even if he could see the eye of the formation in the competition of the third-tier formation mage, the mana of the foundation establishment stage was not enough to break the formation, unless he could possess the mana of the golden core stage for a short time.

This kind of thing is not impossible.

Chen Ming was possessed by a ghost, and his strength increased greatly in a short period of time.

Another soul in Zhou Tian's body awakened, and Li Yu, who was chasing and beating him, had no choice but to run away in an instant.

After practicing to the golden elixir stage, more than [-]% of the mana is contained in the golden elixir. If the golden elixir is temporarily placed in the body of a cultivator at the foundation stage, with the help of the golden elixir, the latter can also use the golden elixir stage for a short time. mana.

However, unless there is absolute trust, almost no golden core cultivator will borrow the golden core.

For the immortal cultivators at the golden core stage, once the golden core is lost, there will be no mana in ten, and it is difficult to form a second time. Which immortal cultivator at the golden core stage does not regard the golden core as important as life, how could it be so easy? isolated.

Once an accident occurs, the path of practice will be ruined.

Moreover, the golden elixir of a practitioner is also a great tonic for other golden elixir stages. After the golden elixir stage, there is no elixir that can directly improve the cultivation level, but the golden elixir of the same level contains extremely pure mana, which can Directly absorb and strengthen your own Golden Core, any Golden Core stage must be extra careful about other existences of the same level.

Li Yu is confident that he can borrow the golden core, but he doesn't know whether it is allowed or not in the competition rules.

So he looked at the golden core elder and asked: "If I can borrow a golden core, can I participate in the competition of the third-order formation master?"

The elder Jindan didn't think much, so he nodded and said: "Of course, in this third-tier formation master competition, a formation wizard of Tiandaozong borrowed the elder's golden core, and it seems that he came here for the bottle of Yimu spiritual essence." ..."

At the Immortal Dao Conference, the formation theory is more tested, and the rules of the competition are very loose. As long as the cultivation base does not exceed the golden core, no matter whether the cultivation base is your own or a temporary borrowing, you can participate in the third-order formation master competition.

After all, the golden core stage in the world of cultivating immortals is like the crucian carp crossing the river, one more is not too many, and one is less, but for the third-order formation master, there may not be one among dozens of golden core stages, and some are rare in hundreds of years. The formation genius has long understood the third-order formation, but his strength has not kept up. Of course, the conference must give this kind of unborn genius a chance.

Not only the exchange of formations, except for the competition of law cultivation, the exchange of alchemy, talisman, and weapon refining, there are no restrictions on this kind of thing, but the other few are not as simple as breaking the formation, and need to be provided for a long time And with continuous and stable mana, the borrowed golden elixir is useless.

The problem is, even if you have the strength of Jindan, you can't even break through a formation without the formation understanding of a third-order formation mage.

Does this Li Yu already have the theoretical foundation of a Tier [-] formation master?

Even if there is, who is willing to take the risk of lending him the golden core?
Seeing Li Yu staring at him, the Elder Golden Core seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said, "I won't lend my Golden Core to others..."

Just kidding, golden core is as important as life to them, not to mention unfamiliar people, even relatives and friends, they will not lend them out easily, once something goes wrong, there is no medicine for regret in the world of cultivating immortals.

Li Yu glanced at him, he was willing to borrow it, but he was not willing to take it yet.

Just know that it works this way.

Breaking the formation is not alchemy. When refining alchemy, even if you borrow someone else's golden elixir, you can't control the mana for a long time. But breaking the formation is different, and it doesn't need to last long. break out.

So, he asked the Elder Jindan for a badge to participate in the third-order formation master competition.

Then, he walked up to Jiang Li and said, "A Li, lend me your golden core later..."
