ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 179: Raising Scorpions for a Thousand Days and Using Them in One Day

The small formation was dyed with five colors, producing colorful light.

Finally, she has the style of a Mary Sue heroine. Just as Du Xinghe was thinking about it, she met the eyes of her little disciple that were full of hope and expectation. She paused and said, "It's not what you think. If you insist, I do have five spiritual roots now... but before I formed the pill, I had three spiritual roots... How can I explain it to you in words? Forget it..."

Just when Shu Jiuqing thought that her master was not going to tell her the secret, her master grabbed her hand and pressed it against her chest:
"Close your eyes and feel it with your heart."

She closed her eyes obediently.

What was transmitted to her consciousness was a darkness of inverted sky.

Is this the sea of ​​consciousness of Jindan Zhenren?

The twinkling stars spread out under her feet, spreading into a river of stars, and floating on the river was the bright and warm golden elixir. The status of the Golden Elixir Master was respected, and he would not easily show his golden elixir to others, but at a glance, she knew that this was the golden elixir that could cross the galaxy.

but……

Who can tell her why there are five golden pills?
Is this some kind of immortal cultivation peripheral that requires eating multiple grains?

Shu Jiuqing was so shocked that he even subconsciously "swam" to one of the golden elixirs.

The bright and huge golden elixir was quietly suspended above the river of star sand, like a star in the universe. When she was about to touch the elixir, a gentle but firm force stopped her. Du Xinghe's helpless words rang in her ears: "You dare to touch anything. You are so bold."

With a pain on his forehead, Shu Jiuqing's consciousness suddenly returned to the room from the darkness.

Shenshui and Xinyue were sitting in front of her and had no idea what she had just experienced.

"what……"

Shu Jiuqing touched his forehead and Du Xinghe tapped the spot between his eyebrows.

Even after doing this act of teasing the child, her noble and cold temperament was not affected at all. She curved her eyebrows and said, "Directly contacting the golden elixir of a cultivator with a higher realm than yours will shake your soul."

"Thank you for your advice, Master. The first time I saw a real golden elixir, I was unconsciously attracted to it and almost made a big mistake." After thanking him, Shu Jiuqing asked hesitantly, "Master, how come you have five golden elixirs!?"

good question.

Having five babies in one pregnancy is considered birth control for women who have multiple miscarriages.

Du Xinghe pondered for a moment, then came up with a set of words that were as good as saying nothing:

"It's a long story. I also have my own difficulties."

Hearing this, Shu Jiuqing did not ask any more questions: "Five golden pills are amazing, but it is actually beneficial for customizing the magic array. The five elements are very balanced. Now there is only one question left, what kind of array does Master want? Explosion? Defense? Purification? Concealment? The fewer you want, the more stable it will be."

From the perspective of Shu Jiuqing, the spiritual beasts in the secret realm of the Ten States are endless, so the best strategy is to resist or hide.

But, the one who made the decision was Du Xinghe.

"Are all the things you proposed achievable?"

"As long as Master is willing to try, it can be done."

Without thinking, Du Xinghe made the decision:

"I want a formation that can clear the field. I don't believe this power can truly control all the spirit beasts in the secret realm endlessly. If it can really do that, then my defeat is not unfair. Another point is,"

She picked up the kettle beside her and took a sip. "I saw wisps of black air wrapped around those spirit beasts. In addition to controlling the movements of the spirit beasts, I also saw the spirit power of the spirit beasts themselves being taken away by the wisps of black mist and sent to the fog cave in the sky."

Du Xinghe closed his eyes slightly, and his black eyelashes cast a small fan-shaped shadow on his eyelids.

The door that others saw was completely different from what she saw.

After discovering this, she would rather waste her spiritual energy and activate the Purple Wisdom Pupil to help her see the truth. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but every time she used the Purple Wisdom Pupil to "see" anything related to the door, she would feel a dull pain in her eyes. She had never had the same feeling when she was refining pills or weapons before.

It was as if there was a force trying to stop her from looking.

Unfortunately, among the 120-pound man crossing the galaxy, 100 pounds of him are rebellious.

The less you let her see, the more clearly she can see.

"At that time, I was wondering, does the fog cave itself also need to draw energy from the spirit beast to maintain itself?"

"If that's the case, then I'll cut off its energy source first."

……

At the same time, other monks stranded in the secret realm of the Ten States were also facing varying degrees of danger.

The slender shadowy figures emerged from the fog cave one after another, searching everywhere for the remaining monks.

The monks were unable to communicate and organize themselves, and the shadow people would imitate the monks' voices. One shadow person even killed a sword cultivator, picked up his sword, and flew in the sky. However, he soon attracted the attention of more powerful monks, who killed him.

"Tsk."

Su Yan sheathed his sword with disgust: "This half-human, half-ghost thing has actually learned the art of wielding a sword."

"Thank you, senior! Fortunately, you came to my rescue!"

Chen Wubing, who was rescued, expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Who knew that the flying shadow man was chasing him? He was only at the Jindan stage, and had no power to fight back against the shadow man. He could only run away desperately. He was naturally very grateful to the senior who saved him. He was also very perceptive and saw from the Taoist robe that the other party was a cultivator of the Nine Yang Sect: "I don't know your honorable title yet..."

"Su Yan, Nine Yang Sect,"

After he introduced himself, he did not want to say a few more words to the other party - in his eyes, the shadow man was not strong, and a weakling who could be chased by a shadow man was not worthy of his attention. Su Yan put away his sword and left, muttering to himself: "How strange..."

When facing other people or these evil spirits, he can easily summon the power of the White Tiger into his sword.

But it didn't work against Du Xinghe.

However, there are many things in the world of immortal cultivation that are mutually reinforcing and counteracting. He just thought that she was lucky because she had something that just happened to restrain the white tiger.

What is more important right now is to find fellow junior students and find a way out.

Shu Jiuqing's guess was confirmed by the outside world - the heart-protecting amulet was still able to work, and the barrier that popped out could protect the cultivator from the invasion of shadow people and spirit beasts, but it could not teleport the cultivator out of the secret realm. When the energy of the heart-protecting amulet was exhausted, the cultivator could only wait for death if he had no other means of self-rescue.

The water mirror in Xihe Garden still broadcasts the scene in the secret realm faithfully and synchronously.

The monk whose heart-protecting amulet is hit will have a black screen and his life or death is unknown.

After the water mirror of the third major sect disciple turned black, an elder finally couldn't sit still: "Can't you just smash the hourglass? Or let us in! He is the disciple I trained the most. I gave him many magical tools to protect himself. If you let me in now, he can survive!"

He stared at Chi Wenxing, as if he would resort to force to snatch it away if he didn't get a satisfactory answer.

The other elders from the sect who came along were also observing the development of the situation.

More than one person wanted to smash the hourglass. They could find a way to make up for the loss afterwards, but if the monk died, there would be nothing left.

"Smashed?"

Chi Wenxing handed him the hourglass and said, "You smash it."

The implication is that no one can destroy it.

After the light of the spell flickered on and off for a few breaths, everyone gave up.

Chi Wenxing said calmly: "The original entrance to the Ten States Secret Realm was closed by external forces. People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. Now we can only find a way to reopen this bridge. There is no third solution. If there is one, please propose it. The Immortal Alliance is not stingy with an artificial secret realm magic weapon and cares about human life."

Everyone was angry and anxious, but they also knew that the deputy master was telling the truth.

"Who is behind this? I will not let him off!"

An old man said with red eyes.

When the others looked over and saw that it was Taoist Xufeng, they thought it was no wonder.

Taoist Xufeng is the elder of Huanling Sect and the master of Luoshaya and Yin Ranran. Being outside the secret realm, he knew very well that the fog cave in the sky was not the exit arranged by the Immortal Alliance. Therefore, when he saw his disciples about to enter the fog cave, he, who was always steady, could not help but worry to Shui Jing: "You can't go! You can't go!"

But when the disciples of the Huanling Sect flew into the fog cave, the water mirror screen went black.

No one knows what happened inside.

Zheng Tianlu was looking at the water mirror of Du Xinghe when his shoulder was squeezed.

He was originally worried about his junior sister's matter. He turned around angrily, but when he saw that it was Taoist Xufeng, he immediately became silent like a firecracker that had been dipped in water, and silently made room for him to watch.

So, Taoist Xufeng and he saw the shadow man falling from the sky together.

The sound made by the shadow man was also heard.

"Who is that? That's not my disciple, right?" There was a hint of trembling in Taoist Xufeng's words.

There are many monsters who can steal people's voices and imitate people's speech. He realized earlier than Du Xinghe that the slender shadow figure was no longer his original disciple, but he still couldn't help asking: "Can you not kill her? Save her life and take her back to Huanling Sect. Maybe the sect master has a way to make her change back..."

Through the water mirror, Taoist Xufeng didn't know whether it was Luoshaya who was polluted and turned into an evil spirit, or a demon who simply imitated her words before her death.

It’s a pity that the person in the water mirror couldn’t hear his request.

The elite disciples of the Huanling Sect who managed to survive to the end were all wiped out.

Two hours later, after trying many methods, the Immortal Alliance came to the final conclusion -

"To reconnect the bridge to the Ten States Secret Realm, we must eliminate the force that is blocking it."

Someone said, "What's so difficult about that? Would anyone here be stingy with their efforts?"

Chi Wenxing shook his head.

She raised her fingers, spots of light appeared at her fingertips, and she began to draw in the air.

The light dots gathered to form two small islands with a long bridge between them. "We are on the island on the right, and the secret realm is on the left." She moved her fingers, and a huge gap appeared at the connection between the left island and the bridge. "The gap is on the left. The people on the island must dissipate this force before we can reconnect. If we rely on external force alone... it's not impossible, but it will take a long time."

These simple words are almost an impossible task for the monks from the Ten States.

Their jade tablets had been confiscated in advance, making it impossible for them to communicate effectively. The solutions developed by the Immortal Alliance could not be passed on to them, making them like a pile of loose sand.

In this Immortal Alliance competition, there were only three strongest Jindan cultivators, and Yin Cifeng, who was eliminated early, was actually the luckiest one.

As for the rest, Su Yan and Du Xinghe would fight when they met.

Du Xinghe seemed to have used some space-related magic weapon, and everyone who was traveling with her disappeared in the water mirror.

However, Su Yan, who was walking outside, was followed by many cultivators, all of whom wanted to seek his protection. He put on a cold face as if to keep away strangers, but did not drive them away. He took them with him to find fellow disciples. When Yu Qiuzhu and Xue Yanguang joined the large group, with the two of them acting as lubricants for the team, the atmosphere was obviously much better.

"My senior brother often secludes himself on the cliff of inquiry. He has not been seen for years. My fellow brothers and sisters were very afraid of him at first. In fact, he is a very good person, but he is too obsessed with cultivation and seems difficult to get along with... You see, even if we have no friendship in the past, he will help you if you are alone."

Xue Yangguang smiled.

At this time of panic, everyone felt much more at ease when they heard his soft words.

Yu Qiuzhu was happy to just nod and agree.

After beheading the third slender shadow figure who could imitate the sound of a monk before his death, Su Yan's patience ran out, and he flew directly into the sky with his sword, and the sword energy turned into a tiger roar, and the shadow of the howling wind tiger swept across the ten states - this was the secret code between him and Ming Zhi, and she knew how to find him by following the tiger roar. This move was quite costly, and it also meant that he was really angry, and even if Ming Zhi was very angry, she would come back obediently.

However, when Su Yan saw that Ming Zhi was accompanied by people from the Wuliang Sect, his unhappiness reached its peak.

Before he exploded, Xue Yangguang took the lead and said, "That's great, Junior Sister, I'm glad you're safe. We were so worried, especially Senior Brother. But he is our backbone now, and he can't go around looking for you alone. I was going to go for him... I'm glad you're back, and I have to thank Brother Qin for taking care of you." He looked at Ming Zhi with heartache: "Come, let Third Senior Brother see if you are injured?"

Yu Qiuzhu looked on in amazement.

It seems that as long as Du Xinghe is not around, Second Brother is still very normal.

As soon as anything related to her was mentioned, the second brother started to get crazy.

Ming Zhi returned to the middle of the two of them, and after a sigh of relief, he could not help but reply, "Brother, I am a sword cultivator from the Nine Yang Sect."

How could Qin Qingyue take care of her when she was traveling with people from Wuliang Sect?
Even though she was indeed lazy, with her master's preference and her own talent, she had easily reached a level that other sects' sword practitioners could not reach even with dedicated hard work... Qin Qingyue and his fellow disciples combined were no match for her.

However, when she asked this question, she and her two senior brothers were stunned for a moment.

In the past, Ming Zhi would never refute these words, and would even often take the initiative to express that she was protected and loved wherever she went. Fortunately, they didn't stay stunned for too long, and Qin Qingyue naturally replied: "No, it was Ming Zhi who escorted us. It was really thanks to her that we all found you safely."

Even the Wuliang Sect disciple who was originally hostile to Mingzhi nodded reluctantly, indicating that this was indeed the case.

There were so many eyes staring at her, so Qin Qingyue just called her Mingzhi.

Ming Zhi also reacted quickly and said with a smile: "That's not escorting! It should be a strong combination! Our water and fire are so incompatible that they are almost giving birth to each other." She smiled coquettishly, making the atmosphere lively again.

Showing weakness is still her comfort zone.

But in the dark corner of my heart, a little bit of boredom quietly emerged.

"By the way," Ming Zhi glanced at Xue Yangguang, stopped talking, and pulled Yu Qiuzhu aside before asking, "Is Du Xinghe not here?"

Yu Qiuzhu: "Didn't you see the way your second brother spoke just now?"

"Third Brother, you are answering my questions with questions again."

Yu Qiuzhu: "If Du Xinghe were here, would your second senior brother be able to speak normally?"

Justified and convincing.

Mingzhi thought so too.

Yu Qiuzhu raised her eyebrows: "Are you worried about her?"

"How can it be,"

Ming Zhi retorted unconsciously, but after she said it, she realized that this rebuttal was too fierce and did not fit her gentle and kind personality. She could only add: "There is one thing. If she came, Senior Brother would definitely protect her regardless of the past grudges."

Yu Qiuzhu glanced in the direction of the senior brother: "That's not necessarily true."

"If you insist on settling past grudges, I will convince you."

"When my senior brother and I reunited, he had just been seriously injured," Yu Qiuzhu paused and added, "He was beaten by Du Xinghe. If we meet again, I think he will be beaten again. It's better not to meet."

Ming Zhi: ...

Only then did she realize that her senior brother had been beaten by Du Xinghe again.

Hey, why use "又"?

She paused, then laboriously continued to stew her spiritual chicken soup: "Now that we are all trapped in the secret realm, maybe they can resolve their past grievances..."

Yu Qiuzhu retracted his gaze and hummed, "It's possible that after beating up Senior Brother, he also beat up the three of us."

Ming Zhi was silent again.

She really doesn't get along with her third senior brother.

At this time, after waiting and waiting, Su Yan still couldn't wait for the little sister to come over, so he couldn't stand it anymore: "Come here."

Like barking a dog.

Yu Qiuzhu said calmly: "Go, or I will be scolded by my senior brother later."

Su Yan always treated her like this.

Su Yan is cold to everyone except Ming Zhi. However, this kindness is also condescending because he is used to her being humble, gentle and considerate.

Ming Zhi took a deep breath and walked over quickly.

"You have been staying with those people from Wuliang Sect, and never thought of coming back to find me?" As soon as she walked over, Su Yan dragged her to the dark place behind a tree, and used his spiritual power to separate the sky and the earth, blocking out all prying eyes.

"Brother, didn't you want to see me? It was you who drove me out before we entered the secret realm."

Ming Zhi was too lazy to argue with him, so she just let down her tears and sobbed with her head down.

Tears fell to the ground, wetting the dead leaves.

Su Yan's tone softened immediately: "I was in a bad mood at that time...Okay, it's all in the past, don't make trouble with me, be good."

He handed over the way and Mingzhi went down without any further entanglement.

She looked around and asked, "Have all the remaining monks come to see you, Brother?"

In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is paramount. Apart from Du Xinghe, Su Yan is the most capable and convincing person present.

"Ji Wuhuo is not here,"

Su Yan curled his lips and said with a hint of mockery: "He likes to cross the galaxy, maybe he is on her side."

When in Xihe Garden, Ji Wuhuo repeatedly showed his goodwill to Du Xinghe.

Although there was no behavior that crossed the line, he was known in Xuan Country for being cold to others. This enthusiasm in contrast showed his blatant love.

"You seem to care about him a lot." Su Yan lowered his eyes.

"Brother, you misunderstood. I don't care about her at all."

Mingzhi turned her face away.

The two of them were not talking about the same person at all.

"What should we do next?" Ming Zhi brought the topic back on track.

The other cultivators were also waiting for Su Yan to speak.

If he handled it properly, this might be an opportunity for him to make a name for himself and establish his prestige, allowing his fellow monks to remember his kindness.

But the problem is...

Su Yan had no idea either.

He could only say to the other cultivators in a deep voice: "If we gather together, we will not be easily attacked by the evil spirits. I believe that the Immortal Alliance and the Nine Sun Sect must be trying to find a way to rescue us."

Tonight the sky was covered with dark clouds, obscuring the moon, leaving only the inky night and a hole in the sky.

In the cave, there was still an endless stream of evil spirits falling down to hunt the monks.

The only good news was that the gathered monks knew that the monster came out of the fog cave, and no one tried to fly into the cave again.

With a Jindan cultivator in charge, everyone felt much more at ease.

The more sense of security one has, the better. So someone asked, "Do you think Senior Yin and Senior Du are also looking for us?"

They didn't know that Yin Cifeng had been eliminated long ago.

According to convention, those with Jindan strength are guaranteed to be ranked in the top three.

"If I were looking for it, I would have found it long ago. The range of Jindan Zhenren's spiritual awareness is incomparable to us."

"Since Senior Du is a casual cultivator, he should prefer to be a lone ranger."

"It would be great if Shujiuqing was still here..."

At this time, someone came up with a name.

Those who heard this wondered, "Who is Shu Jiuqing, the master?"

"I can't say he's an expert, he's only at the Jindan stage, his cultivation level might be lower than ours."

"Since you said so, I will be chased by that shadow man anyway, so what can she do?"

However, another person did agree: "If the nine emotions were still there, we might have a clue."

The people who came up with this name and echoed it were the eleven monks who fled in all directions after the bombing of Yuanzhou.

With Su Yan in charge, they didn't dare to engage in internal fighting to snatch the Soul Flower, so they told the truth: "You should have all felt the movement in Yuanzhou! It was caused by Shu Jiuqing. Although her cultivation is not high, she is very good at uniting people to get things done."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

They did feel the spiritual power shock that erupted centered on Yuanzhou.

However, the only one who flew to the scene excitedly to eat the melon was Du Xinghe.

They all thought that there was a fight between masters and did not dare to go over easily for fear of implicated others: "So it was you who caused this? How could you cause a spiritual power shock of this magnitude!?" The cultivator was extremely shocked. It was not that he looked down on anyone, but none of these eleven cultivators had exceeded the middle stage of Jindan, which was far lower than the spiritual power fluctuation radiated by Yuanzhou.

But the number of soul flowers on the back of their hands is the best evidence.

With their own strength, they cannot get such a quantity.

There must be an expert behind the scenes giving guidance.

Everyone said it was a pity.

"But she is very weak and might have been killed by the shadow man long ago." said one of the monks.

……

The very weak Shujiuqing himself was guiding Xinyue to draw a magic circle on his back.

Her back was densely covered with spiritual lines. As the magic circle was completed, she and her breath disappeared from the eyes of the three people. Even Du Xinghe, who had his purple wisdom pupils, could not see her figure clearly.

"The invisibility spell is useless against many spirit beasts, so I can only use this trick," Shu Jiuqing muttered, "I don't like it... I have to close my eyes and draw the magic circle outside, otherwise my eyes will be seen where the spirit text is not written."

Xinyue: "I have a way."

"Sister, please tell me."

Xinyue gathered an icy needle as thin as a hair between her fingers: "I can also write spiritual words on your eyes."

Shu Jiuqing looked at the ice needle that flashed with cold light and began to wonder if he had offended his senior sister in some way: "That's not convenient."

Xinyue: "I'm very convenient."

"Senior sister, it's mainly because my eyes are not in good condition."

"When you come back, I can heal your eyes. My healing spells are top-notch."

Xinyue is kind and persuasive.

Shujiuqing was very touched and then rejected her.

She followed the original plan and walked out of the space set up by her master with her eyes closed. The five senses of a cultivator were far more developed than those of an ordinary person. Even if she lost her vision for a short time, she could still move freely. However, after the spirit beasts found that they could not find the Crossing Star River, they stayed there for a long time before leaving. The remaining spiritual energy caused great interference to Shu Jiuqing.

And inevitably, there’s a pile of beast poop with every step.

Shu Jiuqing concealed her breath and drew the magic circle she had customized in the house on the surrounding land.

Fortunately, she had stockpiled a large amount of materials for drawing formations before coming to the Immortal Alliance Competition.

Otherwise, it would be like a housewife without rice.

"Huh...huh..."

Shujiuqing heard the breathing of the powerful spirit beast.

The weaker spirit beasts were driven away, and the remaining spirit beasts here were all stronger than her.

She also sensed a particularly sickening grey aura, and presumably there were shadowy figures around looking for her master.

The emotions of the nine seasons are intertwined in the story, and every stroke is made with precision.

Her concealment was close to perfect, but when she was drawing the magic circle, her spiritual energy would inevitably leak out.

To these spirit beasts and shadow people, it was like a flash of light in the darkness.

They approached with suspicion.

Shu Jiuqing felt a chill on the back of her head. A spiritual beast above the Jindan stage was dripping saliva on her head, but it hadn't noticed her yet.

She usually doesn't take spirit beasts of this level seriously.

As long as she saw him from a distance, she would turn around and run away.

Now, I have to bite the bullet and finish drawing the magic circle.

The only good news was that the Jindan cultivator was able to perfectly control some physiological reactions. Even in a high-pressure environment, she did not sweat a drop, which attracted the attention of spirit beasts and evil spirits. After completing the magic circle, she returned to the house along the original path.

"Finally done."

Shu Jiuqing sat down on the ground exhausted, and after a while he said, "However, Master, what you said... is not that I doubt your ability! Can you really fill up the spiritual power to activate this magic circle in one breath?"

Jindan is a real person, not a superman!
In order to achieve better results, Du Xinghe increased the original spiritual power required for the magic circle by two levels.

Or was it that her vision was too narrow and she underestimated the spiritual power of Jindan Zhenren?

Du Xinghe smiled:

“Raise a scorpion for a thousand days and use it in one day.”

It’s time for Xiaopang to spit out the spiritual power that he usually feeds.
