alone as a fairy

"You have also passed the level of crafting, and there are two other things, formation and astrology, which level do you choose first?" asked the mysterious old man.

"Formation." Chen Zining replied.

Qiankunzong's method is based on the change of yin and yang, pointing directly to the origin of heaven and earth, while Tianxingzong is good at controlling the laws of stars. Both have their own strengths. If Qingwuzi is still proficient in the formation method, then he has only a half-knowledge about astrology up.

"Okay, I will take you to the central formation of the cave here, as long as you can pass half of the distance, you will pass the level."

When Chen Zining came back to his senses, he found that he was in a void. Under his feet, there was an extremely complicated formation. Chen Zining only took one look, and his whole mind was firmly involved.

"Can you understand this array?"

After a while, Chen Zining was awakened by the voice of the mysterious old man. He came back to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "This formation is definitely a heaven-level formation, which combines various laws such as four phenomena, five elements, eight trigrams, and nine palaces. , is changing and upside down all the time, and even divided into strange and empty, it is really profound and dense, not to mention half, even [-]% of the mystery I can't see through."

While Chen Zining was feeling frustrated, the mysterious voice said, "In that case, I will take you to the Jiaomu Temple to identify the astrology."

The next moment, Chen Zining had already arrived at the core of the Jiaomu Temple, a strange place. Chen Zining was placed in a belt of light, and magnificent and bright stars were arranged in a disorderly manner, as if the universe was condensed in this space. , and Chen Zining was in the middle, and a feeling of being as small as an ant came to his heart.

The mysterious voice said: "This is the astrology of Spica in the East, can you recognize its position and changes?"

Chen Zining honestly shook his head.

The voice laughed and said: "To pass the level of astrology, you must be familiar with the changes and mysteries of Sixiang, Nine Fields, and 28 Constellations. This is just one of the 28 Constellations."

Chen Zining said: "It seems that this junior will never pass these two tests."

He was stopped in the last two stages and couldn't control the cave. Although Chen Zining was a little disappointed, he couldn't force this kind of thing, and he quickly adjusted his mood.

But the mysterious man said: "Don't give up in a hurry. To be honest, your performance has exceeded my expectations. There is still a chance in the last two tests."

"Senior, please speak clearly."

"There are many jade slips in the Sutra Pavilion that record the mysteries of formations and astrology. I will give you three years. If you can master the experience left by the predecessors in it through self-study, it will not be difficult to achieve the goal of clearing the level. Everything depends on it." Your own efforts and good luck."

In the Longgui Valley base, Chen Daohong sat behind the desk, took out an account book, and after reading the numbers on it, he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile. Sixteen large tribes got in touch, established stable trade channels, and started contact with some green-blooded tribes living in plains and mountains, and even opened a shop in the Mingguang Empire through people from the Guangmu tribe.

As one of the few channels of communication between Shenglan Continent and the underground world, various monopoly businesses have made the Chen Chamber of Commerce extremely profitable. In order to protect these unique businesses, the number of people in the Longgui Valley base at this time has reached 700. Many people, in addition to [-] clansmen, there are also [-] guards from the chamber of commerce and [-] soldiers from the Xuanwu Army. All of them were moved to Wuzong Island, in order to keep the secret of Dragon Return Valley as far as possible.

Chen Daohong remembered that a caravan was about to leave today, so he wanted to go over and tell him something. At this time, Chen Guangping rushed in from outside the house and said in a hurried tone: "Fourth elder, it's not good! Guanghua and Zixin are at the same time. There is news that people from the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce have suddenly attacked and besieged them!"

Both Chen Guanghua and Chen Zixin were the leaders of the caravan. They went to the Duowen Tribe in the Dark Forest and the Chasing Wind Tribe in the Silent Vein to do business respectively. Chen Daohong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Then how is it now?"

"I don't know. I sent a message to ask, but there was no reply from Guanghua and Zixin."

Chen Daohong's heart sank when he heard this. Before Chen Zining left, he had left hundreds of thousands of sound transmission talismans for the Chen family. Although there were not many such high-grade talismans, the Chen family usually used spirit birds to send messages. These sound transmission talismans were only used in the most urgent It will only be used under certain circumstances. If there is no reply now, the answer is very simple. Either the two teams of Chen Guanghua and Chen Zixin were killed, or they were all controlled by the people of the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

"Have you notified the owner?"

"Someone has been sent to send it over."

Chen Guangming happened to be on Wuzong Island at this time. After hearing the news, he hurried over with Chen Daochong and Zhan Ping, bringing two Martial Emperor-level bronze corpses and the nine-headed bird.

The Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Mingguang Empire, because in the underground world, people on the Shenglan Continent do not know about it, but its true strength is no less than that of the top ten chambers of commerce, and even ranks among the top three. Having been monopolizing the foreign business of the tribes in the Dark Forest, the Chen family was most worried about the conflict with the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce when they established the Longgui Valley base.

After the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce learned that the Chen Chamber of Commerce was involved in the business of the Green Blood Tribe, it was extremely unfriendly, but it did not adopt the most intense confrontation method. The two sides seemed to be living in peace. Although the Chen family did not relax their vigilance, But I really didn't expect the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce to make a sudden move.

Chen Guangming and the others arrived at the Longgui Valley base through the teleportation array. When they met Chen Daohong and Chen Guangping, they asked, "Where are the two teams? How far away are they?"

Chen Guangping said: "Guangping's Duowen tribe in the dark forest is more than 700 miles away from here; Zixin's Chasing Wind tribe in Silent Hill is more than 300 miles away from here."

Zhan Ping suddenly asked, "Where are Mu Shuang and the others now? Is there any news?"

Chen Guangping said: "A message was sent back yesterday evening that they camped at Huangshiya Waterfall."

It turned out that half a month ago, Chen Mushuang formed a team with some juniors in the clan and asked to go to the dark forest for adventure training. This kind of training method is a common practice in the big families. Compared with the dark forest, although it is more dangerous Much more, but after making all the preparations, Chen Guangming and the others agreed. At this time, the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce launched an attack, and Zhan Ping was inevitably worried about her daughter.

Chen Daohong thought for a while and said, "This Huangshiya waterfall seems not far from the Duowen tribe."

Chen Guangming heard this, his heart moved, and he said: "Without the cultivation base of the Martial Emperor, flying in the underground world is no different from seeking death. We don't have many strong people. If we travel on the ground, it will take two days at the fastest to go to the Duowen tribe. , Why don’t I take two priests and take the Nine-headed Bird to the Chasing Wind Tribe, Duowen Tribe, send a message to Zichang and the others, and let them go to the rescue.”

Chen Guangping was taken aback, and said, "Except for Zichang, everyone else is of the junior generation. Is such a thing possible?"

Chen Daochong said: "I think that's the way it is. Didn't Zining also leave the mountain at the age of 14? Just remember to send someone to meet him."

Chen Daohong sighed: "It's a pity that Zining has been away for a year and a half, and there is no news until now. If he is here, why do we need to worry so much?"

Chen Daochong said: "Zi Ning has his own pursuit, how can he be confined within the Chen family, the road ahead can only be walked by all of us."
