Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 100 Mu Zhuosha comes out of seclusion

Zhou Qing originally planned to wait until the benefits for formation masters were distributed before taking action, but now it seems it is too late.

He must get at least ten medium-grade spirit stones as soon as possible.

Looking at his spirit stone cabinet which was cleaner than the floor, Zhou Qing felt helpless.

When he was treated as a formation master, he received twenty mid-grade spirit stones every month. For a while, he had the illusion of being wealthy. But now it seems that twenty mid-grade spirit stones are nothing.

Including the benefits from his senior brother, he can earn twenty-two spirit stones every month.

He would set aside at least four of them to test the formation, and of the remaining eighteen, he would use eight to practice Eternal Calamity and sink to hone his mind.

In fact, eight spirit stones are only enough for the formation to run four times, which is far from enough for his needs.

Especially as the number of times increased, the resistance of his Dao heart became stronger. Zhou Qing began to consider increasing the number of spirit stones used to activate the formation to improve its effectiveness, as spirit stones would become even less sufficient in the future.

After removing all these, he only had ten medium-grade spirit stones for cultivation.

After being promoted to the second level of Qi Refining, his magnetic field became stronger and he was more efficient in using spirit stones. Ten spirit stones were only enough for him for seven or eight days.

After adding and subtracting, these twenty-two spirit stones seemed far from enough.

I hope to be promoted to a formation master as soon as possible, and then the situation will improve.

But these are all matters for the future. Far water cannot quench immediate thirst. The most important thing for him now is to collect ten medium-grade spirit stones.

Zhou Qing thought about it and decided to ask Chen Qingxuan for it.

He used the formation to help Mu Zhuosha get rid of the evil thoughts, so Chen Qingxuan should at least do something to help, not to mention that he was helping him run for the elder position.

After finalizing the plan, Zhou Qing immediately set off for the Transmission Hall.

Hearing that Zhou Qing needed ten mid-grade spirit stones, Chen Qingxuan was a little surprised and asked, "Aren't you treated like a formation master? Why are you still short of spirit stones?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I have a new formation that needs to be tested recently, and it costs a lot of spirit stones."

Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "Wait here for a moment."

With that, he walked out of his courtyard. After a cup of tea, he returned and handed a box of spirit stones to Zhou Qing. He said, "I've never been able to save up spirit stones. These are the twenty spirit stones I just borrowed from Elder Jin Mang. If it's not enough, come back to me and I'll find a way for you."

"But there is one thing I want to remind you of. Don't be careless when testing formations. Every year in the Formation Court, formation masters and apprentices get injured."

"Although you have incredible talent, talent is not omnipotent. Don't be complacent with your talent and underestimate the dangers of studying formations."

Zhou Qing took the spirit stone and said with a smile, "Uncle Master, don't worry. Do I look like that kind of reckless person?"

He said goodbye and walked out. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle Master, I heard the bell just now. Elder Lin is going to retreat. Has he entered the Cave of the Living Dead now?"

Chen Qingxuan nodded and said, "Elder Lin just left the Transmission Hall accompanied by the Chair and the Headmaster. He should have reached the Cliff of the Living Dead by now."

"Elder Lin is highly respected in the sect. I don't know if I'll ever see him again. It's truly sad."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Everyone will inevitably encounter this sooner or later. If Uncle-Master can be less sad and focus more on cultivation, perhaps he can reach that realm sooner and go to the Living Dead Cave to meet Elder Lin."

Chen Qingxuan feigned anger and said, "You are now lecturing my uncle."

"That's a bad word."

Zhou Qing said: "One should be brave and diligent in cultivation. This is the ancestral precept of Qingyun Sect. So it is not the disciple who is teaching the uncle, but the ancestor who is teaching the uncle."

Chen Qingxuan laughed and said, "You are really famous for your sharp tongue. Even Elder Jinmang has heard that you like to preach. Your fellow disciples are a little afraid of you."

Have it?

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "I just say what I think is right and do what I think is right."

"If you remain silent because your words might be wrong, and hesitate because your actions might be wrong, how can you possess the courage and fortitude of a cultivator?"

"The principles that I speak of are things that I can do, so I am not afraid to speak of them."

Chen Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "You truly deserve the title of 'brave, vigorous and diligent'."

"Go ahead, come find me if you have any questions."

After Zhou Qing said goodbye to Chen Qingxuan, he left the Transmission Hall.

Standing at the entrance of the Transmission Hall, Zhou Qing looked towards the direction of the Cliff of the Living Dead and thought to himself, Patriarch Xu and the headmaster were currently accompanying Elder Lin to the Cliff of the Living Dead. Now was obviously not a good time to take action, so he should wait until later.

He was about to go down the mountain, but suddenly thought, I'm not going to do anything bad, why should I be so sneaky?
He wanted to save Mu Zhuosha from her demonic state, and the elders in the sect were probably hoping for this.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Qing decided not to make it public for the time being. To save Mu Zhuosha, he had to use the original formation. If the master knew about it, he would definitely watch from the side. Who could guarantee that the master would not discover that the formation in his hand was actually just a broken one?

According to the structure of the formation, such a broken formation would not be able to function at all.

Things will be lively then.

It would be better for him to sneak into the cave himself.

If the final formation didn't work, it wouldn't be too embarrassing. Zhou Qing then returned to Ziyun Mountain. At midnight, he returned to Qingyun Mountain and headed straight for the Cliff of the Living Dead.

The Cliff of the Living Dead is not like the Sutra Repository or the warehouse of the General Affairs Hall, which store important supplies, so it needs to be guarded by someone.

This is just a place where the elders go into seclusion. Everyone else avoids it and no one wants to come here. Even if someone comes in, it will not cause any adverse effects.

It is impossible for the other party to steal an elder away.

So there is no one guarding here.

Zhou Qing walked down the stone steps on the cliff and reached the platform outside the cave with ease.

The Cave of the Dead is even more eerie and terrifying at night.

The cold wind in the cave blew out from the cave entrance, making bursts of roars like ghosts, mixed with the mumbling, crying and laughing of the elder who was in seclusion in the cave.

Coupled with the obsession that has accumulated here for countless years, ordinary people would be frightened if they stood here for a moment.

Zhou Qing's heart was high and he suppressed all negative emotions, then he walked in casually.

In order to prevent the last accident from happening again, Zhou Qing kept the magnetic field sensing active throughout the whole process this time. Although there was a risk of being harassed by the remaining obsessions in the cave, it was definitely better than being deceived by Mu Zhuosha's illusion.

He walked straight into the depths of the corridor without looking around, and soon reached the last stone chamber. He stopped in front of the carving outside the stone chamber.

Mu Zhuosha was lying on her side on the stone bed, facing the stone wall.

Hearing the noise outside, she turned around lazily.

When she saw that it was Zhou Qing, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes and she said with a smile, "It's you again, little fellow."

"How interesting that you dare to come to see me. Let me guess what you are here for."

She walked down from the stone bed and slowly walked to the edge of the barrier, facing Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing saw her more clearly this time.

Mu Zhuosha has a strange temperament that is a mixture of childishness and maturity, which makes people easily fall into it.

But Zhou Qing sensitively realized that beneath these two temperaments, there was a kind of hysterical madness, as if ready to set the world on fire at any time.

Mu Zhuosha said, "That old fellow Lin Maoshan just came in. According to the rules, he should elect another elder. Let me guess who is going to be elected as the elder. Could it be Xiao Qingxuan?"

"You came here to ask me to help Xiao Qingxuan become an elder. Very good. Erase the runes outside the stone chamber and let me out. I will definitely grant you your wish."

Zhou Qing remembered Chen Qingxuan's previous instructions not to talk to Mu Zhuosha. He just silently took out the spirit stones he carried with him and arranged them on the floor of the corridor.

Then place the formation jade token in the middle of the spirit stone.

Mu Zhuosha watched him operate silently, and suddenly a sense of alarm arose in her heart. She said, "What kind of formation is this?"

Zhou Qing glanced at her, sat cross-legged next to the formation board, and directly activated the formation.

The spiritual energy of the ten mid-grade spirit stones was drained in an instant, and the reverse formation stimulated unprecedented spiritual energy fluctuations, surging towards Mu Zhuosha.

The protective barrier of the stone chamber for retreat has always been one-sided because it often allows the outside world to drop supplies into it.

People inside cannot come out, but people and things outside can enter without hindrance.

The spiritual energy fluctuations instantly swept across the entire stone chamber.

Mu Zhuosha had no way to avoid it and was hit by the spiritual energy fluctuations.

Zhou Qing observed her changes intently. He saw that Mu Zhuosha looked a little dazed at first, and then showed a look of pain, as if a fierce battle was going on inside her mind.

Her face became ferocious, and her crazy look became even more hysterical, as if she was facing a catastrophe and was making a desperate fight.

As time went by, she gradually became quieter.

Her expression became a little confused, as if she had just woken up from a long dream and was a little unsure of where she was.

But soon her eyes gradually brightened, and her whole aura became fierce. Although her hair was disheveled and her clothes were tattered, she exuded unprecedented brilliance, making it impossible for people to take their eyes off her, as if she was naturally the focus of others' attention.

Finally, she turned her gaze to Zhou Qing, then stepped out of the stone chamber and came in front of him.

Zhou Qing could not completely forget the thrilling experience he had last time facing Mu Zhuosha. When he saw her suddenly step out of the stone chamber and come in front of him, his breathing suddenly stopped and his whole body was covered in chills.

"Relax."

Mu Zhuosha smiled and said, "You expected this a long time ago, didn't you?"

Zhou Qing let out a long sigh and said with a smile, "I expected this a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

Mu Zhuosha looked at him curiously and asked, "Is this the new achievement of the Formation Court? It seems I have to retract my prejudice against them. These guys are not just for show. They can still be of some use at critical moments."

Zhou Qing looked towards the cave entrance and saw a faint ray of sunlight coming in. He said, "It's daybreak now. How about we go out first? I have something I want to ask Master for help with. I'd like to tell him about my recent events on the way."
