Chapter 534 Sword Formation
Wen Guying picked up the bodhi bead and looked at it. After putting it down, he said, "It turns out it's a counterfeit. Do you think there are a batch of counterfeits in the hands of those demon cultivators of Yanyunke?"

"I think it's a bit of a coincidence," said Li Chuan.

"If there are only two things, it doesn't mean anything." Wen Guying said.

Jiang Mei looked at the Bodhi beads and asked Li Chuan: "Where did you get these beads?"

Li Chuan briefly explained the origin of the beads, and then said: "Both magic weapons are related to Luoxia Secret Realm. Now the one that came out in advance is Luoxia Secret Realm. It's a stretch to say that there is a connection, but is it really such a coincidence?"

"How did you know about its relationship with the Luoxia Secret Realm?" Jiang Mei asked.

"I suddenly knew it when I was repairing it." Li Chuan remained calm.

Jiang Mei nodded and said, "I think even if it doesn't prove anything, we should investigate in this direction. Maybe we can get some unexpected results."

"Indeed." Wen Guying also nodded and said, "In these matters, intuition is more important than evidence."

"How do we check? Can I help?" Li Chuan asked.

"We should be able to find that jade pearl," Wen Guying thought for a moment and said, "When the time comes, take a closer look and see if you can figure out anything from it."

"About when?" Li Chuan asked.

"Just go to the capital with peace of mind, and I'll come find you when I get back." Wen Guying said.

"Okay." Li Chuan said.

"Did you bring the pot?" Wen Guying asked.

"I brought it. Do you want to use it?" Li Chuan asked.

"I've been thinking about it these days. I might just use your pot to boil the medicine into a decoction. You can take it out and heat it up to eat every day. The effect might be better." Wen Guying said.

"It seems so." Li Chuan said, and took out the pot.

"Let's go to the lake," Wen Guying said, "and boil it with lake water."

The three of them walked out of the stone house, built a stove with stones by the lake, and put the pot on it.

After the lake water boiled, Wen Guying put the herbs in one by one. Soon, a strange fragrance spread.

Li Chuan looked for a while and felt a little hungry. So he walked a little further along the lake. The gray-blue lake was calm and waveless, like a mirror. He looked at his reflection in the lake, and his heart moved, and he took out the Tianyin pot.

The gentle and gentle sound of the pot sounded.

The ripples of the kettle sound spread out, and gradually the water of Xiaojing Lake also began to ripple. The sound of waves and the sound of the kettle intertwined and echoed continuously.

Wen Guying and Jiang Mei also looked towards where Li Chuan was standing.

"Is this why you brought him here?" Jiang Mei asked.

"No, I just suddenly wanted to come here and take a look. I also need the spiritual energy here to digest that cup of tea." Wen Guying said.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Mei asked.

Wen Guying said, "It's not a big problem." He paused, placed the Tianqi Sword flat on his legs, and said, "The battle with Elder Xiao was the first battle I fought with all my strength after getting the Tianqi Sword. I gained a lot of insights from it, and also noticed some discord."

"And the Yi Shen Incense just magnified those discords. I had to recall that battle over and over again, and keep grinding with the Tian Qi Sword in my memory until all the discords disappeared, and then I could fully digest that cup of tea."

As he spoke, Wen Guying looked towards where Li Chuan was standing and said, "The sound of the pot and the sound of the lake at this moment may help me do this."

"Do you want to talk to him? I feel like he may not know what he is doing in his current state." Jiang Mei asked.

Wen Guying shook his head and said, "No, just help me look after this pot of medicine. The few spiritual plants here are what I tricked from Elder Li. If they get burnt, there will be nothing left."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing." Jiang Mei waved at Wen Guying. Then Wen Guying closed his eyes and sank into meditation. His hand was on the hilt of the sword, and the red flames in the furnace core were burning quietly.

……

Li Chuan felt the ripples of the lake and experienced the various changes in it. He tried to control every ripple of the lake with the sound of the kettle, but he failed many times.

Xiaojing Lake is too big and the water is too deep.

What if we narrow the scope and ignore changes outside the scope?
So he circled the area and began to observe the mutual influence between the ripples in the lake, silently memorizing every change in his mind.

At this time, the red sun began to set in the west, and the surface of the lake turned a red gold.

Li Chuan entered a mysterious state while in meditation. In this profound state, he tried to manipulate the lake water and knead it into the shape he wanted.

Make a water rabbit, a bird, or a water basket...

After playing around for a while, he used the sound of the pot to create three fixed points in the lake, and each point would spread out layers of water waves.

He immersed all his mind into it, constantly grabbing lake water and constructing some structures in his memory.

The sound of the pot was heard, and the lake water kept changing along with the three points, eventually becoming a bit like a sword formation.

At this time, the water waves became bigger and made a splashing sound.

Jiang Mei frowned and looked at Wen Guying, then at Li Chuan, and then at the medicine juice in the iron pot that was becoming increasingly thick.

……

"Sword Formation" is done.

Li Chuan felt the changes in the lake water and gradually felt the pressure. He looked into the distance and saw the red sun half-sunken into the lake. He suddenly realized what he had done.

Can't disperse by the lake.

Although he didn't know what effect this sword formation he created had, he could feel the spiritual power flowing through it. Once the sword formation escaped his control and the spiritual power exploded, then... that small stone house should be protected by a barrier, right?

No, his medicine.

A little further, a little further, let him see the changes of the "sword formation", Li Chuan thought. The sound of the pot began to slow down and become deeper, guiding the sword formation to move farther away.

But in this process, more ripples automatically intertwined in the lake.

At this time, you should stand up to review the old sayings.

Jiang Mei breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, then took out a jade pestle and kept stirring the pot.

The lake was surging, as if there was a giant beast hidden in it. Wen Guying looked in the direction of the beast and walked into the lake.

Li Chuan felt that the "Sword Formation" was far away, so he stopped the sound of the pot and waited for the "Sword Formation" to dissolve into the lake. At this time, the last ray of skylight was swallowed by darkness, and he escaped from the mysterious state.

what happened?
Some water drops splashed on his face, and he realized that his shoes were wet. In the distance, in the center of the lake, waves more than ten feet high were tearing the water surface violently like a water monster.

This……

"This, should be okay?" Li Chuan was uncertain. He suddenly felt relieved when he saw Jiang Mei sitting on the shore, concentrating on stirring the medicine.

It should be fine.

Then, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the red sword light, he turned back and continued to look towards the center of the lake.

The sword light covered the entire lake, and everything became quiet.
