Duan Yu's Biography of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 124 Mysterious Formation
On the Tianshan Mountains, there is snow all year round and glaciers stand steeply.

The snow here is spotless.

Under the sun, it shines with magnificent and colorful light, holy and mysterious.

Tianshan Mountain, in the imagination of the Central Plains people, is a mountain peak in the Western Regions.

In fact, this is not the case. The Tianshan Mountains are more than 2000 kilometers long.

The mountains are majestic and majestic, with an altitude of nearly 5000 meters and are insurmountable.

Duan Yu was flying in the air, and from a bird's-eye view, the Tianshan Mountains were like a giant dragon meandering across the earth, dividing two huge basins into two.

Piaomiao Peak is located in a remote place at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain.

The forest there is vast, nearly a hundred hectares, with gloomy trees and fog all day long.

Duan Yu's figure flashed on top of a mountain peak.

"Huh? The Lingjiu Palace is obviously here. Could it be that I went to the wrong place?"

In this everlasting cloud and mist, several mountain peaks are vaguely visible, but there is nothing else around except this forest.

He has been to the Vulture Palace more than once.

Except for the first time, which took several days to find, he basically escaped directly after that.

For those who cultivate immortality, their memory will not deteriorate even after hundreds of years.

"It seems like someone has set up a formation here?"

When Duan Yu entered the forest, he felt a strange force disturbing him.

If it were a mortal, he would be confused and lost in it.

The so-called forbidden area means that people can't come out after entering it. Over time, it becomes a forbidden area.

This formation is obviously not the Qimen Dunjia set up by ordinary people.

A snow-white jade pendant suddenly appeared in Duan Yu's hand. He turned it over in his hand, and his mind began to be immersed in the deduction of the formation.

Three full days.

After some exploration, he roughly discovered various formations.

The formations around Piaomiao Peak are extremely accomplished.

First there is the Spirit Gathering Formation, then the Wind Sheltering Formation, the Mystery Formation, the Illusion Formation and so on.

Finally, the entire Lingjiu Palace was arranged into a five-element universe chaotic formation, with small formations nested within the large formation, and the formations were interlocked with each other.

Several formations complement each other, turning this Vulture Palace into a paradise resort on the Tianshan Mountains.

"Great!"

Duan Yu clicked his tongue, turned around and looked back at the lush greenery shrouded in mist, and couldn't help but sigh while stroking his palms.

This skill is at least the strength of a foundation-building monk, and he is a foundation-building master who is proficient in formations.

Could it be the Tianshan Tonglao?
He could feel that the surrounding forest had traces of Xiaoyao Sect's techniques, which was probably done by Tianshan Child Elder after she broke through the foundation.

It seems that the Tianshan Child Lao has Qiu Gu in her chest and is proficient in the art of formations.

As early as the Tianlong Era, Tianshan Child Elder not only had earth-shattering martial arts skills, but her medical and astrological skills were also far beyond ordinary people.

Later, she possessed the three great magical arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. If she could comprehend the Eternal Spring Kung Fu, she might be able to successfully build the foundation.

Duan Yu tried to use thousands of miles of sound transmission to call Tianshan Tonglao to hundreds of miles nearby.

However, there has been no reply.

He didn't study the formation deeply. If he wanted to break the Five Elements Universe Formation, he couldn't tell the time. It might take ten days and a half, or it might take several years.

The formation of Lingjiu Palace is different from Qimen Dunjia. This is a true Taoist magic formation.

It was set up by a foundation-building overhaul who was proficient in formations.

Even with Duan Yu's alchemy cultivation, it would still take a lot of trouble to break through the formation with brute force.

Moreover, if the formation is broken by force, the entire Lingjiu Palace may be destroyed, and the people inside will also die when the formation is broken.

He has no grudge against Lingjiu Palace. On the contrary, he has a deep connection with them, and he will definitely not act recklessly to break the formation.

"Hey, it seems you really can't underestimate the world! Let's wait for those three to rush to the street!"

The Three Saints of Tianshan, those three ordinary people, are running too slowly!

Duan Yu arrived at Tianshan from Xiangyang in an hour.

As for the Three Saints of Tianshan Mountain, it will take at least ten days and a half.

Duan Yu originally planned to follow them.

Unexpectedly, the three of them walked too slowly, so they had to take the first step.

"Wait for them and see how those three little guys join the battle."

With nothing to do, Duan Yu was going to pick some Tianshan snow lotus.

The most famous thing about Tianshan is the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain, ginseng from Changbai Mountain, and Ganoderma lucidum from the primitive mountains.

They are all rare treasures in the martial arts world.

This third one has a low growth year and is of little value.

The longer the year, the longer it grows, and the more precious it is.

If it is more than a hundred years old, it will have the effect of increasing one's skill and is a treasure coveted by people in the martial arts world.

If it is supplemented by Taoist alchemy techniques and combined with other medicinal materials to refine it into an elixir that can strengthen the body and nourish the body, the effect will be even better, and the power can be doubled compared to eating it raw.

The elixir refined with Tianshan Snow Lotus as the main medicine can not only increase one's physical strength, but also beautify the face, cure diseases and save lives, nourish yin and nourish the kidneys. It has many functions.

Tianshan Snow Lotus, born on the top of Tianshan Mountain, on the glacier, has black roots, green leaves, red flowers and white buds.

Common colors include white flowers and yellow flowers.

It’s just that the Tianshan Mountains are steep and covered with ice and snow. People who climb halfway up the mountain can no longer resist the severe cold.

In addition, the air became increasingly thinner, making it difficult to breathe.

Even martial arts masters with long Qi pulses cannot hold on for too long.

How difficult it is to pick snow lotus!
The scorching sun illuminates the entire Tianshan Mountains, making them look like white clouds from a distance.

Halfway up the mountainside, a white shadow slowly climbed up.

He was wearing a sheepskin jacket, leather trousers and a leather hat, holding a long knife in his hand, inserting it into the rock crevice, and kept climbing up.

"It is indeed a daunting mountain. I'm only halfway up it and I'm about to give it up."

Xiao Hong looked at the snow-white mountain peaks and sighed.

My inner strength is so deep that I already feel uncomfortable when I get here. Ordinary people may not be able to climb up here.

This is a man with a swollen nose and a square mouth, with a deep outline. His whole body is wrapped in a long sheepskin coat, only his face is exposed.

In the severe cold, the short whiskers turned into silver whiskers, covered with ice.

A strong gust of wind blew by, causing his body to sway and his leather jacket to flip. He quickly turned away from the wind and clung to the rock to prevent the biting cold wind from blowing him away.

After the gust passed, it subsided and calm returned.

Xiao Hong scanned the surroundings, and found that the ground was covered with ice and snow, and not a single thing was growing, not to mention the snow lotus.

The earth was completely white, and under the sunlight, the light of the ice and snow was a bit dazzling.

Looking at the steep and difficult hillside in front of him, Xiao Hong inserted the long knife into his waist helplessly, and then used his hands and feet to climb up on all fours... Duan Yu was floating in the air, just looking at him.

"What a strong boy!"

He didn't help.

There are too many people who come to pick snow lotus. Xiao Hong is just a member of this mountain. There are also lotus pickers on other peaks in the Tianshan Mountains.

They are like gold diggers, climbing silently on the Tianshan Mountains.

Some people pick snow lotuses to sell them for money.

Some people are trying to cure illnesses and save lives.

Others come purely for adventure and challenge extreme environments.

Some people even practice martial arts on Tianshan Mountain and take advantage of the harsh climate on the mountain to rapidly improve their martial arts.

Duan Yu didn't know what this person was for.

His spiritual consciousness sensed the blooming century-old snow lotus on the top of the mountain. He moved and flew towards the top of the mountain.

"what?"

Xiao Hong was startled when he saw a figure flying through the air like a silver arrow dragging a silver line.

"Am I dazzled?"

He blinked hard, but the figure had disappeared.

The higher the mountain went, the colder it became. Xiao Hong's body gradually became stiff. He kept using his kung fu to resist the cold air that invaded his body.

Thinking of his mother, whose time at home was running out, he became more and more determined to pick the Tianshan Snow Lotus.

The already exhausted body suddenly burst out with some strength.

Seeing the gentle terrain above, Xiao Hong shouted low and jumped up, his body as light as a swallow.

"Hahaha! I'm finally coming up!"

Xiao Hong exhaled and couldn't help laughing.

The sound came from his chest and abdomen, it was so powerful that it made the ice and snow tremble slightly.

"I'm going!" Xiao Hong screamed, and saw the snow above his head collapsed and poured down.

No matter how good his martial arts is, he has nowhere to escape when encountering an avalanche, not to mention that his internal strength is at the end of his rope.

After climbing for several hours, I was about to reach the top of the mountain, but I felt extremely happy and sad.

Xiao Hong cursed angrily and quickly ran away using Qinggong.

Use your remaining inner strength to escape with all your strength!

"Hey, stepping on clouds and flying flowers? Isn't this the light skill I created?"

Duan Yu frowned slightly as he watched the man running away.

In a moment, an avalanche swallowed Xiao Hong.

Duan Yu's body flashed and he was lifted out from under several feet of snow.

I saw that the person had fainted.

If no rescue is done, he will freeze to death in a short time.

Duan Yu squatted beside this person and gently pressed his back with his palms.

As if undergoing electrotherapy, Xiao Hong's body suddenly shook like chaff and undulated like waves.

"are you home yet?"

When Xiao Hong woke up, he felt as if he was immersed in warm water, all the pores in his body were open, and he felt extremely comfortable.

Huh?
He opened his eyes and noticed something strange. He looked at the clear sky and the white surroundings.

It turned out that he was lying in the ice and snow.

Still alive!

Xiao Hong woke up from his dream and his eyes regained clarity.

Turning his head to look, he found a man in white robe standing next to him with his hands behind his back, his long sleeves floating slightly.

Are all the legends true?Tianshan Mountain is a sacred mountain. Have gods ever appeared there?And I was lucky enough to meet a deity descending to earth today?

Xiao Hong looked straight and dimly at that handsome face.

"Are you still lying on the ground pretending to be dead?!" There was a hint of displeasure on the man's handsome face.

Only then did Xiao Hong realize his impoliteness, hurriedly pressed his palms to the ground, and stood up.

"Did you save me?" Xiao Hong cupped his fists and saluted.

Duan Yu was a little curious. The language of the Western Regions was very different from that of the Central Plains.

Just like two countries as different as each other, one cannot understand the language of the other at all.

This man spoke somewhat stiff Song Dynasty Mandarin, and was obviously educated in Central Plains culture.

"Are you Chinese?"

"In return for my benefactor, I am Xiao Hong, a Khitan, and my mother is Han."

Xiao Hong was wrapped in leather clothes and leather trousers, but his tall and straight figure could not be concealed.

Coupled with a fairly handsome face, he looked majestic and somewhat heroic.

But compared with Duan Yu, there is a world of difference.

He is the kind who is handsome from the inside out, handsome to the core, and very attractive to women.

For example, Wan Yanping, who has been chased to the Divine Sword Villa, is willing to be a maid by Duan Yu's side, saying that she is repaying her kindness and is willing to give her life.

And Yelu Yan, if her father Yelu Chucai hadn't passed away by chance and went back to attend the funeral, she would have stayed.

In just a few months, Duan Yu rejected countless chivalrous women with dreams.

No way, being too handsome is also a burden.

"Xiao Hong, I just saw that you are very good at qinggong. I wonder where you learned it?"

"Replying my benefactor, my light kung fu is a family-heirloom martial art called Stepping on the Clouds and Flying Flowers."

"Oh? I wonder what sect your ancestors came from?"

Duan Yu only passed down this martial arts to his relatives and friends.

This person's surname is Xiao, and he is a Khitan. Could he be a descendant of his sworn brother?
"My ancestor has no family or sect, and has lived in the grassland for generations." Xiao Hong said.

In fact, according to what my mother said, the ancestor of the Xiao family was a great martial arts master. He was famous in the Central Plains martial arts community with his powerful palm skills, and gained a great reputation, known as "Beiqiao Peak".

However, my Xiao family's surname is Xiao, so why is it called "Beiqiao Peak"?

Xiao Hong didn't understand and was worried that his benefactor would laugh at him, so he simply didn't say it.

"Does your ancestor have an ancestor named Xiao Ying?" Duan Yu asked.

Xiao Hong was surprised and said: "My benefactor, how did you know the name of my great-grandfather?"

"It turns out it's an old friend." Duan Yu chuckled and patted his shoulder.

Xiao Hong felt a pure internal force enter his body. His already warm and comfortable body became more comfortable and strong, and he felt that his condition was much better than usual.
