I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 1050

He couldn't help but think about it. If it were someone else, with a different formation method, this magic weapon would be nothing more than a pearl in the dark in their hands, with only the advantage of being convenient for setting up the formation. But in the hands of a formation master like Li Ming, it could really be used to great effect. Thinking of this, all the praises from Li Ming before suddenly became extremely fatal facts.

After all, if this thing is not too precious, or has no use, or Li Ming does not know its value, there is no need to worry. But the current situation is that, first, the Eight Diagrams Formation is precious and powerful, and second, Li Ming happens to be a master of formations who knows his value very well. It just so happens that this thing has fallen into his hands now.

When Master Hushuo read this, his heart was beating fast and he sang inwardly.

"Although the Saint Lady agreed to my request, it was only to borrow my strength to clear the next level. Now, not only is Taoist Li's cultivation level higher than mine, but his attainments in formations are also higher than mine. Can she still help me?"

This is a bit of him judging others by his own standards. Although he is old and has experienced a lot, he has never considered things from the perspective of a superior.

Although Li Ming is very capable now, he has a fatal problem, that is, he is not a direct descendant of the Saint, and is not so easy to control. If he listens to one side only and neglects his own people (nonsense), he will fall into a disadvantageous position.

Although Hu Shuo cannot be considered a completely direct descendant, he is much more reliable than Li Ming who joined halfway. Moreover, Hu Shuo's cultivation is lower and he can be easily controlled. Li Ming's powerful combat power and profound cultivation have become his weaknesses at this moment.

As the leader of this small team, what the Saint has to do is to maintain balance. Currently, there are three people on her side. Hu Shuo's cultivation is not enough and 'Uncle Qing' is seriously injured. Although she still has some trump cards in her hand, she will never use them unless it is absolutely necessary.

Although Li Ming and Gu Song are both capable fighters, they lack loyalty. Li Ming took the initiative to seek spiritual objects and put forward his own needs, which means he needed the Saint Lady to rescue people. This was considered giving others a handle. As for whether it was true or not, neither of them had to delve into it. After all, Li Ming said it in public and loudly in front of everyone else.

He took the initiative to show that he was approaching the Saint and would no longer accept other people's solicitations. If there were other conditions, there might be the possibility of secret negotiations or rebellion, but the Saint's condition was something that the Saint could determine and control at any time, so only by stating this condition could she truly put an end to other people's thoughts.

The saint naturally also keenly noticed this. This is the tacit understanding between smart people. As for why she did not use the insect to make Li Ming promise or leave any other backup plan.

That is naturally because Li Ming has the highest combat power at the moment. If he does not accept it, or the talks break down, wouldn’t that push the powerful combat power away?
It is better for the county magistrate to be in charge now. In the secret realm, to be honest, the saint is the weaker party. However, Li Ming is experienced and has a precise attitude. He has not done anything beyond the rules, and the saint would not do that even more.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she doesn't want to, but she can't. Under this balance, what she has to do is to test step by step whether Li Ming's attitude is consistent with his inner heart. So this move is for her to put Hu Shuo out in the open. On the one hand, it is a test, and on the other hand, it is to weaken Li Ming from another angle and strengthen herself.

Li Ming knew clearly in his heart that this saint lady was not an easy person to deal with, so he was not in a hurry to break up with her. They were all smart people and knew what was going on. Anyway, he had already gained control of a part of the Eight Diagrams during this period of time. With his cultivation and attainments, it was not difficult to hide it from Master Hu. As for whether he could find another opportunity to get this treasure later, it depended on whether he had the chance.

"But... this magic weapon is definitely not simple. It seems that this master of nonsense also has a great background." Li Ming thought secretly in his heart.

Master Hu asked nervously, "Just what?" Li Ming laughed and said, "It's just a pity that this treasure seems to have suffered some serious damage and is a little damaged. It's a pity that we can't see it in its prime!"

As he spoke, Li Ming took out the Eight Diagrams Formation. This Eight Diagrams Formation had no magical power to support it. It was just a piece of gray animal skin, very inconspicuous, which was exactly the principle of divine objects hiding themselves.

When Master Hu saw Li Ming's quick and decisive return, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he read about Li Ming's previous explanation, he also said with emotion.

"This treasure was once a treasure treasured by our sect, but it was destroyed when our sect suffered a disaster. Later generations were incompetent and only collected a small portion. After several ancestors repaired it, it has become what it is today. Not to mention you, even I would like to see the Eight Diagrams in its full glory."

Li Ming nodded slightly and sighed: "Who has ever seen a hero in ancient times? Only his reputation is left on paper. The world changes and the mountains and rivers change. If he cannot become an immortal, he will eventually be just smoke."

Hearing Li Ming's words, Master Hushuo was obviously stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, if you can't become an immortal, you will eventually be nothing but smoke. However, in this vast sea of ​​​​people, there are more than tens of millions of people seeking immortality. In the mortal world, how many people can succeed? It's nothing more than enduring a few hundred more years. In the end, you still have to go through reincarnation again. If you go through it a few more times, I'm afraid you will still be reduced to an ordinary person."

However, Gu Song's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "It is precisely because this opportunity is rare and we don't know what will happen in our next life, so we must try our best and fight hard!"

Upon hearing this, Master Hushuo's face turned even more bitter, and he could only sigh, "I'm afraid there's nothing much to look forward to in this life. I only hope that in my next life, I'll have accumulated some Dao affinity and external skills, so that I can be reborn with a better constitution. If I can ask a few of my close friends to help me, that would be even better."

"The mortal world is so vast, how many people among them have immortal roots, Taoist bones and Buddhist affinity? When you and I are gone, who can say for sure what will happen in the next life? The relatives and friends you make in this life may not be able to help you enter the Tao in the next life. Pinning your hopes on those illusory things, huh!" Gu Song seemed to be more and more dissatisfied and snorted coldly.

Hu Shuo didn't say anything else after hearing this, but Li Ming came out to smooth things over.

"It's okay, it's okay. Everyone has their own aspirations. I haven't finished what I was saying just now. If I can't achieve my goal in this lifetime, I will turn into smoke. Who would be willing to sleep in the dust? Even if the clouds are high, I will eventually reach my destination. One day, I will ascend to the blue sky!"

Only then did Gusong's expression ease a little. He bowed to Hu Shuo and expressed a slight apology. Hu Shuo didn't care at all. He just smiled lightly, then touched the Eight Diagrams Diagram carefully, with a look of cherishment on his face.

PS: Thanks to Jian Lijian Yangming, a book friend, for the monthly ticket. To be honest, I feel really emotional when I type these familiar IDs. I don’t have much to say, I can only bow my head again.
