Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 39: Four-Elephant Formation

Jiang Tongyue stopped in front of an inconspicuous hill.

There is nothing special about this mountain except for some white mist. It looks just like many other hills in the world.

"According to the information, this should be the residence of the Xin formation magician."

Jiang Tongyue looked carefully at the hill below, but he didn't know much about formations, so he couldn't see what the mystery was below.

If there weren't a group of bamboo houses in the center of the hill, Jiang Tongyue would even think that no one lived here.

"Excuse me, this is the residence of Master Xin Qiwu. I come here uninvited, Master Xin, please don't blame me."

At this time, Jiang Tongyue opened his mouth and shouted towards the bamboo houses.

If this place is really the residence of a formation master, then it is necessary to keep a certain distance.

Not long after, a middle-aged Confucian scholar in white walked out of one of the bamboo houses. When he saw Jiang Tongyue, a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

However, when he saw that Jiang Tongyue was actually a foundation-building cultivator, the middle-aged Confucian scholar was a little surprised.

"I am indeed Xin Qiwu. I wonder why you are looking for me, senior?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar walked out of the bamboo house, came to a place not far from Jiang Tongyue, and bowed to Jiang Tongyue.

"Master Xin, you are too polite. My name is Jiang Tongyue. I heard that Master Xin is proficient in formations, so I want to buy some formations from you."

Seeing that he had found the right person, Jiang Tongyue showed a smile on his face.

"Is that so? Senior Jiang, please come into my humble abode."

At this time, Xin Qiwu stepped back half of his body and made a gesture to Jiang Tongyue to come in.

Jiang Tongyue followed Xin Qiwu and entered one of the bamboo houses.

Afterwards, Xin Qiwu brought a pot of tea and entertained Jiang Tongyue.

"I wonder what kind of formation you need, Senior Jiang?"

After making tea for Jiang Tongyue, Xin Qiwu asked Jiang Tongyue.

"Master Xin, thank you for calling me Brother Jiang. It's like this. I want a formation that can defend the cave. The more powerful it is, the better..."

Jiang Tongyue didn't hesitate to speak up and stated his request directly.

Although he came here to look for Xin Ruyin, he could also purchase some formations by the way.

When it comes to formations, you can never have too many of them.

"In that case, I may have a few formations in my hands that can meet your requirements."

Xin Qiwu pondered for a moment, then took out several formation plates and a pair of formation flags from his storage bag.

Then, he held up one of the array plates and said to Jiang Tongyue, "This is the Four Symbols Array, which is Xin's masterpiece. It can not only withstand the full force attack of an early Jindan cultivator, but also drive wood, fire, water, and gold to attack. It can be said to be both offensive and defensive!"

Hearing this, Jiang Tongyue's eyes immediately lit up. This was a pleasant surprise!
Although this Four Symbols Formation can only withstand a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the early Jindan stage, it can still be considered a high-level formation.

Whether it is the Yue Kingdom or the Yuanwu Kingdom, there are very few formations above the Jindan stage. Every time they appear in the world, they will attract people's scramble.

"This is the Five Elements Mystery Formation, a powerful illusion formation that not only has the function of concealing the cave, but can also create illusions. Even cultivators in the Jindan stage will be confused..."

Xin Qiwu then introduced several other formations to Jiang Tongyue.

Compared with the Four Symbols Formation, the other formations all have their own merits, making it difficult for Jiang Tongyue to choose. For example, the Five Elements Mystery Formation is a powerful illusion formation, and even a Jindan cultivator will be confused by the environment.

The defensive capability of the other defensive formation is even greater than that of the Four Symbols Formation, and can withstand the full-force attack of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm.

"Fellow Daoist Xin is indeed a master of formations. The formations he used are all very powerful. It is really difficult to choose."

Jiang Tongyue hesitated for a moment, and then decided to buy the Four Symbols Formation.

After all, the Four Symbols Formation has good defensive capabilities, and it can also use formations to counterattack, which can be said to be very comprehensive.

Upon hearing this, Xin Qiwu handed the Four Symbols Formation Plate and the matching formation flag in his hand to Jiang Tongyue.

After taking over the Four Symbols Formation, Jiang Tongyue also handed over the required spirit stones to the other party.

After the transaction was completed, Jiang Tongyue did not leave in a hurry, but continued to ask: "I wonder if you can sell those formation books in your hand to me, Brother Xin. If you are willing to sell them, Jiang will definitely give Brother Xin a satisfactory price."

"I'm sorry, Senior Jiang, all of Xin's skills in formations are inherited from my ancestors, and I really can't pass them on to others."

Hearing this, Xin Qiwu's face showed a hint of uneasiness, and he was somewhat worried that this would offend Jiang Tongyue.

After all, although he is a master of formations, he is just a Qi training cultivator.

"I am Meng Lang. If that's the case, then let's just pretend that Jiang never said this."

Although Jiang Tongyue felt a little regretful, she had no intention of forcing the sale.

Seeing that Jiang Tongyue in front of him did not continue to use threats or inducements, Xin Qiwu felt relieved.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Xin, I heard that your daughter is a dragon-yin body that was born from a male body by mistake. I wonder if I can meet her?"

At this time, Jiang Tongyue opened his mouth and asked Xin Qiwu.

Before coming, the person Jiang Tongyue entrusted told Jiang Tongyue all the information about Xin Qiwu, including that Xin Qiwu had a young daughter.

"If you really need a formation, I will copy one for you. Please let me go!"

When Xin Qiwu heard this, his expression changed, but he still forced himself to calm down and said to Jiang Tongyue.

However, his words were already filled with grief and indignation.

Obviously, he thought that Jiang Tongyue's words just now were a threat to him to hand over the art of formation to the other party.

"Fellow Daoist Xin, you have misunderstood. Since your formation is not suitable for outsiders, Jiang will not force you to do anything. As for your daughter, I just heard from the outside world that she is a bit like the legendary Dragon Roar Body, so I can't help but be curious."

Seeing that Xin Qiwu seemed to have misunderstood something, Jiang Tongyue, who did not want to offend anyone, hurriedly explained.

The so-called Dragon Roar Body is a male body born mistakenly as a female. Normally it is fine, but if one forces himself to practice Taoism, his tendons and veins will gradually become dislocated and atrophy.

Not long ago, Xin Ruyin came into contact with the immortal cultivation techniques, and the side effects of the Dragon Roar Body broke out. Xin Qiwu spent a huge price to temporarily cure Xin Ruyin.

"Since you are curious about me, I will let you come out and see me."

Therefore, after listening to Jiang Tongyue's explanation, Xin Qiwu's expression looked a little better. After hesitating for a while, he said something to Jiang Tongyue.

As for whether Jiang Tongyue has bad intentions, that is not the case.

With Jiang Tongyue's cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had no power to fight back at all, and Jiang Tongyue showed no malice from beginning to end.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong in letting Jiang Tongyue meet his daughter.
