Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Among the four people on this trip, except Song Qingming, who is a third-level top-grade formation master, the formation levels of the other three are not very high.

Faced with this somewhat strange "ancient magic circle", everyone naturally had to follow Song Qingming's opinion.

After Song Qingyu and He Mengxin stood there and responded, Li Xuanyi didn't say much. He nodded and then took Song Qingming into the white fog in front of him.

A moment later, the two of them landed on a bluestone step.

Li Xuanyi looked at the bluestone under his feet, then found a direction in the white mist in front of him and walked upwards.

After searching in the white fog with Li Xuanyi for a while, a green stone lion about ten feet tall soon appeared in front of them. Li Xuanyi then stopped.

The color of this bluestone lion is exactly the same as the bluestone below, and it is shrouded in white mist. If it weren't for Senior Sister Li Xuanyi leading the way, it would be extremely difficult to spot its existence from a distance.

After arriving here, Li Xuanyi pointed to an ordinary iron ball in the lion's mouth and explained to Song Qingming:

"Junior Brother Song, this is the center of the formation that I found in the beginning.

I remember that I just took out the stone ball, and the restriction of the formation disappeared immediately.

But for some reason, after Qingyu and I found the Soul Nurturing Tree and encountered the Nascent Soul Puppet, the restriction suddenly reappeared and almost trapped the two of us in the formation."

(PS: Some book friends said that the name "Soul Gathering Wood" is not very nice. I feel the same way, so I changed it to "Soul Nourishing Wood" and will use this name from now on. I will slowly change the wrong parts in the previous part, so please be aware of it!)

When talking about the two of them being trapped in the restricted formation, Li Xuanyi's face showed a hint of doubt. Until now, she is still a little puzzled as to why the restricted formation suddenly recovered.

After hearing the explanation from senior sister Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming immediately turned his gaze to the blue stone lion in front of him, then closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense.

Through his spiritual sense, Song Qingming soon discovered that a large amount of spiritual energy gathered in the mouth of the bluestone lion, and the concentration of spiritual energy was obviously higher than other places.

As a high-level formation master who practices the art of formation, Song Qingming quickly determined that what Senior Sister Li Xuanyi said before was correct. There was indeed something related to the eye of the formation hidden in the mouth of the stone lion.

Seeing this, Song Qingming directly cast a spell to summon the "Golden Wind", controlling it to move forward and grab the iron ball in the stone lion's mouth.

As soon as "Jinfeng"'s arm grasped the iron ball, a burst of spiritual light suddenly burst out from the green stone lion, which directly pushed him back several steps.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuanyi on the side did not show any surprise on his face. When he was about to speak, he saw a surge of magic power in Song Qingming's hands, and a white array plate appeared in an instant.

The next moment, the formation plate was floating in the air, and then it shot out a white light at the green stone lion in the distance, covering it.

At this time, a green light emerged from the stone lion's body and began to fight against the white light. For a moment, it was not at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Song Qingming waved his hand and five golden flags shot out, landing directly on the ground around the stone lion.

These formation flags were arranged according to the five elements. After landing, they quickly shot out several rays of light upwards, which gathered in mid-air to form a circular pattern and landed on the stone lion.

With the help of the formation, the white light emitted from the formation plate in Song Qingming's hand quickly suppressed the green light on the stone lion.

Seeing this, "Jinfeng" who was standing aside stepped forward again and threw a punch, instantly smashing the iron ball in the stone lion's mouth. Soon the spiritual light on the entire green stone lion dimmed and disappeared.

As the iron ball disappeared, Song Qingming immediately felt that the surrounding white mist had changed. It began to slowly dissipate in all directions, slowly revealing the entire platform in front of everyone.

Seeing that Song Qingming had already broken the restriction, Li Xuanyi immediately asked:

"Junior Brother Song, have you noticed anything?"

Song Qingming heard this and shook his head gently, saying: "There is nothing unusual about the formation center outside. It is indeed the main formation center that controls the entire formation. If it is destroyed from the outside, the formation will automatically dissipate.

As for why the formation suddenly recovered, I guess the problem is not with this formation eye, but that this formation is not controlled by a single formation eye.

If I am not mistaken, this formation should be a twin formation with the same formation center inside and outside!"

"Junior brother, what is the twin formation?"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he saw that his senior sister Li Xuanyi still had some confusion on her face, so he nodded slightly and continued to explain:

“The so-called twin formation is when the person who sets up the formation divides the two main points of the formation into yin and yang poles and sets them up in the formation.

The center of the formation in front of us is in the sun. Although we can directly enter the formation after breaking it, doing so does not actually completely break the formation.

Because there is a Yin-position array eye hidden in this array.

As long as the Yin-position array eye is still there, even if the restriction array is destroyed in a short period of time, it will only be temporary and will automatically recover after a short time.

If you want to crack it, you must find the Yin position array eye and destroy it before the array eye here recovers.

Otherwise, as long as one of the Yin and Yang array centers still exists, this forbidden array will not be broken and may be restored at any time.

This type of ancient formation is very complicated to set up. Although this is the first time I have encountered it, I have seen similar records in some formation books. "

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation and knowing the complexity of this "Twin Formation", Li Xuanyi could not help but frowned slightly and said:

“In that case, if we can’t find the center of the Yin-position array in time, we will easily be trapped in it like last time.

Moreover, the Nascent Soul puppet can absorb the spiritual energy of the formation to enhance its own magic power. If we are trapped in the formation and fight with it, we will probably suffer a great loss.

It is still somewhat dangerous to go in so rashly.

Junior Brother Song, do you have any good ideas to break this formation first?

This will weaken the Yuanying puppet's strength, and we can attack or defend, and withdraw at any time."

Hearing this, Song Qingming shook his head and said, "If my guess is correct, then we don't have any good tricks to deal with this formation.

The only way we can do is to seal this center of the formation and delay its recovery as much as possible.

Next, we will enter the formation and whether we can successfully find the Yin position array eye and break the formation will depend on our own luck. "

"Don't worry, Brother Seven!
The area of ​​the platform up there isn't very large, so as long as the eye of the formation is hidden nearby, we'll definitely be able to find it."

While the two were talking to each other, they found that the white mist in front of them had dissipated and the magic circle restriction had been broken. Song Qingyu and He Mengxin had also flashed over and stood beside Song Qingming and the others.

As soon as Song Qingyu finished speaking, He Mengxin beside him also nodded slightly and said:
"Qing Yu is right. With so many of us, and Fellow Daoist Song, a high-level formation master, it shouldn't be difficult to find the center of the formation."

"That's fine! Since no one has any objections, let's quickly seal this place and then enter the formation together!"

Seeing that no one had any objections, Song Qingming nodded slightly, took out a few sealing talismans from his body, and pasted them directly on top of the "bluestone lion" in front of him.

Thanks to the help of three Jindan cultivators including Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming saved a lot of effort when performing the secret sealing technique.

It took less than an incense stick of time to set up a sealing magic circle at the location of the "bluestone lion" in front of him, and used sealing talismans to isolate it from the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After temporarily sealing the center of the formation, the four of them, led by Li Xuanyi, walked up the stairs and soon arrived on top of the platform.

The top of the platform was still the same as it was when Li Xuanyi and the others came last time, empty and with nothing on it, except for a small pool of about five or six feet in radius located a few hundred feet away.

After a quick look around, the crowd did not find anything unusual, so they went straight to the pool not far away and saw various high-level spiritual creatures planted in the water.

"This is a high-level soul-nourishing tree. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see such a rare high-level spiritual object during my visit. It really broadened my horizons."

It was He Mengxin's first time here. When she saw the black "soul-nourishing tree" in the pool, she couldn't help but exclaimed immediately, and her eyes could not hide the surprise.

Before coming, Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi did not explain the matter of the "Soul-Nourishing Wood" in detail to He Mengxin, but only told her that there was a high-level spiritual object hidden here.

Although He Mengxin had some guesses in her mind that the high-level spiritual object found by Song Qingyu and the others might be of high quality, she never expected that it would be a rare high-level spiritual object of level four or above, such as the "Soul-Nourishing Wood".

Seeing the excitement on He Mengxin's face, Li Xuanyi, who was standing beside him, quickly spoke to her:
"Fellow Daoist He, we came here just for this thing. It's just that the matter is of great importance that I didn't dare to tell you in advance. I hope you can forgive me.

These are the things I promised you before. Now that you are here, please keep them first. I will replenish the remaining spirit stones for you after we go out."

After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, a light flashed in his hand and a storage bag that had been prepared long ago appeared immediately. He threw it directly to He Mengxin who was standing beside him.

Seeing the storage bag in his hand, He Mengxin hurriedly released his spiritual sense to investigate.

After a moment, a look of satisfaction appeared on He Mengxin's face, and she then smiled and bowed to Li Xuanyi.

"Please rest assured, Brother Li!

We had already agreed before coming that He was only here to help and just needed to get the compensation he deserved.

As for the things in the pool, we have an agreement in advance, so it has nothing to do with me." Although he didn't know how much Li Xuanyi and He Mengxin agreed to pay for their help, seeing the satisfied look on He Mengxin's face, it was not difficult for Song Qingming to guess that there must be a lot of spirit stones in the bag.

As for He Mengxin, who put away the spirit stone, her eyes couldn't help but linger on the "Soul-Nourishing Tree".

But He Mengxin was also very clear in her heart at this moment that no matter how good the things in front of her were, they had nothing to do with her.

After all, Li Xuanyi, Song Qingyu and others had already signed a contract with her before coming to take the treasure.

The two parties here are only in an employment relationship. Afterwards, no matter what spiritual objects are obtained in the pool, they will belong to Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu.

Including Song Qingming, who came this time, was also hired by the two of them just to obtain several high-level spiritual objects in the pool.

However, this agreement is only limited to the spiritual creatures in the pool. The ghost pill that Song Qingming obtained when he killed the "Black-armored Ghost King" on the way here is not included in the agreement.

“The Nascent Soul puppet hid in the pool last time. I guess as long as we don’t go over and trigger the restriction, he won’t come out so soon.

Just in case, let’s first find the “Yin Position Formation Eye” to break the forbidden formation outside, and then discuss how to get the treasure!”

Therefore, after arriving here, Li Xuanyi did not rush everyone to go to the pool to get the treasure. Instead, he followed the original agreement to break the formation outside first and then act together.

After leaving Song Qingyu alone to monitor the pool, Song Qingming, Li Xuanyi and He Mengxin immediately separated and began to look for another "Yinwei Formation Eye" hidden near the platform.

What everyone didn't expect was that after searching around, they only found a few places with dense Yin energy, but did not find the "Yin Position Array Eye" that Song Qingming had mentioned before.

After going around in a circle, Song Qingming and his companions returned to their original place, and couldn't help but show a bit of disappointment on their faces.

"Fellow Daoist Song, look, there is nothing on this platform. We have looked around and there is nothing suspicious.

Could it be that I am mistaken? This formation is not the twin formation you mentioned."

Song Qingming returned to the original place and heard the doubts in He Mengxin's mouth, but he did not answer in a hurry. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the "Soul-Nourishing Tree" not far away.

Seeing this scene, a hint of doubt gradually emerged in the eyes of Li Xuanyi and the other two, and they all looked over at the same time.

"Could it be that the center of the Yin-level formation is in that pool?"

Song Qingming heard this and nodded slightly with a serious expression: "

Unexpectedly, the person who set up the formation had already considered that someone would want to break the formation, so he deliberately placed the Nascent Soul puppet in the pool.

If my guess is correct, the center of the formation should be in the pool.

If we want to break this formation, we must first get rid of the Nascent Soul Puppet. This must have been planned by the other party long ago."

After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, the other people present couldn't help but reveal a somewhat ugly look on their faces.

They didn't expect that after thinking about it for a long time, they still couldn't get rid of the opponent's calculations. Without defeating the Nascent Soul puppet head-on, they would not be able to take the treasure and escape unscathed today.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing else for us to think about!
Later, Fellow Daoist Song, Fellow Daoist He and I will team up to hold back the Nascent Soul puppet. Qingyu, you find the right time to go over and see if you can break the center of the formation in the pool.

As long as we can break the formation outside, that guy shouldn't be able to cause much trouble!"

At this point, everyone took out their own magic weapons without hesitation and focused their attention on the pool.

As Li Xuanyi gently tapped her waist with her right hand, a tall figure in a green Taoist robe appeared in front of her.

Seeing that the "Golden Core Corpse Puppet" summoned by Li Xuanyi had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core, which was much higher than the "Golden Wind" beside him, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

Song Qingming had heard from his senior sister Li Xuanyi before that her inheritance of cultivating "corpse puppets" came from her family.

But I didn’t expect that Li Xuanyi could cultivate the “corpse puppet” so quickly. It can be seen that the inheritance of the Li family of “Yunlong Mountain” is indeed quite impressive.

Not only Song Qingming was a little surprised, He Mengxin also looked a little surprised when she saw that Li Xuanyi had such a powerful "corpse puppet" on his body.

Only Song Qingyu, who had seen Li Xuanyi use this "Golden Core Corpse Puppet" a long time ago, had a normal look on his face and was not too surprised.

After summoning his own "corpse puppet", Li Xuanyi immediately controlled it to fly into the air and launched an attack directly at one side of the pool.

In order not to harm the several high-level spiritual objects in the pool, Li Xuanyi controlled the strength of the attack very skillfully. It only caused a small splash when it fell into the water, and the noise was not that big.

However, the next scene did not surprise everyone.

Not long after Li Xuanyi's attack landed, there was a sudden noise in the pool, followed by bubbles appearing in the entire pool, and a pitch-black figure emerged from it.

Feeling the terrifying and powerful aura emanating from the black shadow in front of them, Song Qingming and others immediately recognized him. This person should be the "Nascent Soul Puppet" that Li Xuanyi and the others encountered.

After seeing that this "Nascent Soul Puppet" appeared, the surrounding formations did not recover immediately, and Song Qingming and others immediately showed a hint of joy on their faces.

It seems that the "sealing array" that was set up outside before did play some role and everyone's efforts were not in vain.

Now that they are no longer supported by the formations around them, their chances of defeating their opponents have increased a little more.

After the "Nascent Soul Puppet" appeared, it only paused in mid-air for a moment, and its aura immediately locked onto Song Qingming and others not far away, and turned into a black light and rushed over directly.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyi, who was at the front of the crowd, took the lead in casting a spell and waving a golden flag in his hand. A golden dragon shadow emerged from it and rushed forward.

As soon as the golden dragon came to the side of the "Nascent Soul Puppet", it moved its body like a python catching its prey and rolled the other person up tightly.

However, the "Nascent Soul Puppet" had just been trapped by the golden dragon for a short while when a powerful aura suddenly burst out from its body.

Then he grabbed the golden dragon with both hands and pulled it hard, tearing the dragon apart. Then he flashed and quickly rushed in front of Li Xuanyi.

Just as the opponent raised his fist and was about to punch Li Xuanyi, a golden bronze mirror suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the huge fist of the "Nascent Soul Puppet".

There was only a loud "boom!", and Song Qingming, who was activating the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", was knocked back several steps by the punch of the "Nascent Soul Puppet" before he gradually stabilized his body.

Before the "Nascent Soul Puppet" could launch another attack, two red iron chains wrapped with flames suddenly appeared in the air and directly entangled his feet.

The "Nascent Soul Puppet" that was just about to move had to stop again, and could only turn around and attack He Mengxin who was controlling the magic weapon not far away.

Here, Song Qingming and the other two had just fought with the "Nascent Soul Puppet". Song Qingyu, who had used his invisibility ability, had also quietly moved to the side of the pool.

Then, while the "Nascent Soul Puppet" was being besieged by Song Qingming and others, he cast a spell to release a "water-proof shield", and then jumped directly into the somewhat gray pool in front of him.

In this battle, the main opponent of everyone is the "Nascent Soul Puppet" outside.

But the most crucial point in determining victory or defeat lies in whether one can find the "Yin Wei Formation Eye" and break the formation outside in advance.

As long as Song Qingyu can successfully break through the "Yin Wei Formation Eye", without the threat of the large formation outside, no matter how powerful this "Nascent Soul Puppet" is, it will sooner or later be defeated when facing the siege of the four of them.

Just after entering the pool, Song Qingyu was trying to search for the center of the formation, but he found that there were several dark shadows standing around him under the pool, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Not long after, there was another noise in the pool. Song Qingyu, who had just jumped in, suddenly escaped back from inside, followed by five or six figures who were also covered in black.

"Seventh Brother, Senior Sister Li, there are golden elixir puppets below!"

Hearing Song Qingyu's shout, Song Qingming and the other two who were fighting with the "Nascent Soul Puppet" suddenly changed their expressions, and couldn't help but reveal a bit of ugly looks.

Before, I only heard from Li Xuanyi and the others that there was only one "Nascent Soul Puppet" here and no other opponents. But suddenly, several Golden Core Puppets appeared, which caught everyone on the battlefield off guard.

Even Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu, who had been here once, were shocked and couldn't understand why there were so many powerful puppets hidden in the water.

If these Golden Core puppets had come out to help the two of them when they were facing the "Nascent Soul Puppet", it would have been difficult for them to escape no matter how strong they were.

"Fellow Daoist He, go help Qingyu, leave this guy to us!"

Seeing that Song Qingyu was facing the siege of six "Golden Core Puppets" alone not far away and was already a little flustered, Song Qingming hurriedly sent a message to He Mengxin beside him, asking her to go over and help Song Qingyu share some of the pressure.

After He Mengxin left, Song Qingming waved his hand and summoned out the "Silver Armor" and "White Lion Puppet Beast" in the bag around his waist, and said to Li Xuanyi:

"Senior Sister Li, leave him to me, and go and break the formation!"

After saying that, Song Qingming had another white array plate in his hand, and several puppets beside him quickly formed a "Ten Thousand Spirits Puppet Array" with him. They actively released a circular protective shield and stepped forward to block the black giant sword swung by the "Nascent Soul Puppet".

At this moment, Song Qingming knew very well that the seal on the center of the formation outside would not last long.

At the moment, Song Qingyu and the other two were entangled by the puppets and could not break the formation. If they wanted to win, they could only let Li Xuanyi go to the pool to break the formation. Otherwise, once the formation outside recovered, they would definitely fall into a passive position.
