Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 48: Flying Crane Delivers Letter
In order to test whether the formation is successful, you first need to collect the breath of others.

In fact, his own breath could also be used, but if he collected his own breath and activated the formation, the formation would point to himself who was close at hand, and would not be able to fully demonstrate its long-distance effect.

As a last resort, Zhou Qing had to leave the house and plan to find Wang Xiaohu to be the test subject.

Wang Xiaohu's home is in Shanyang, and he needs to cross the entire mountain.

Zhou Qing walked up for a while and suddenly saw a bright red color in a forest.

Soon, a red figure emerged from the branches and leaves.

It was Yuan Hongying.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Yuan Hongying said in surprise.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "You're going to find Wang Xiaohu. Where are you going?"

Yuan Hongying said, "I just came out of Senior Sister Lin Hongyu's house. I gave her the task last time, and as a token of gratitude, she invited me to her house for a small gathering. We chatted for a while, and as soon as I came out, I ran into Senior Brother."

Zhou Qing had a good impression of the gentle Lin Hongyu, so he asked, "I heard last time that she was trying to break through to the third level of Qi Refining. Did she succeed?"

Yuan Hongying shook her head.

Zhou Qing was surprised and asked, "Is it so difficult?"

It has been more than ten days since their last meeting. It is said that Lin Hongyu had been preparing for a long time before that, but she didn't expect that she has not succeeded yet.

Yuan Hongying sighed: "Who says it's not true?"

"My senior sister told me that there are two types of cultivation: gradual cultivation and sudden cultivation. Gradual cultivation is the daily practice of Qigong. This is like slow grinding. As long as you are patient, you will make progress every day. But when you reach a certain level, if you want to break through again, you need to make a sudden breakthrough, directly jumping into another realm. This is sudden cultivation."

"Every breakthrough in a small realm requires a lot of effort. It's not something that can be achieved simply by spending time. She has been preparing for this for a long time, but she still lacks confidence."

"To be honest, Senior Brother, after hearing her describe how difficult cultivation is, even Junior Sister is a little scared."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Whether it's sudden or gradual, we just need to focus on practicing. With a strong accumulation of skills, we can even move mountains, let alone a small realm. Miss Lin's fear may be the reason why she has been unable to break through for so long. Junior sister, you should take this as a warning."

Yuan Hongying took the advice seriously and said with a smile, "No matter how difficult the problem is, it seems to become insignificant once Senior Brother tells us about it. Senior Brother is really the ballast for us younger brothers and sisters. With Senior Brother around, I feel much more at ease."

"Brother, is there something important that you want to talk to Wang Xiaohu about?"

"Nothing serious, actually."

Zhou Qing's heart moved, and he thought to himself, why bother climbing the mountain? Isn't there a suitable candidate right in front of him? He said, "Junior sister, give me a few strands of your hair."

Yuan Hongying was stunned at first, then she pulled out a few strands of hair without hesitation and handed them to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Why don't you ask me the reason?"

Yuan Hongying said casually, "What's there to ask? Could it be that Senior Brother would do something to harm me?"

Zhou Qing said: "It's not done yet, I'll explain it to you later."

After saying that, he said goodbye to Yuan Hongying and returned to his home.

His formation was just a very simple version, and it couldn't be like the Liuyin Palace, where one could just stand there and immediately retain a person's breath. He had to use some of his personal belongings.

Zhou Qing glued the hairs onto kraft paper and then folded the paper into a paper crane.

Then he input a trace of spiritual energy into the formation.

Once activated by spiritual energy, the formation takes effect immediately.

Zhou Qing sensed that the formation stirred up circles of spiritual energy ripples, spreading outward like water waves.

The spiritual energy wave carries Yuan Hongying's breath. When the wave encounters Yuan Hongying's body, it will bounce back and transmit the location information back.

Zhou Qing only waited for three or four breaths before he sensed a series of rebounding spiritual energy fluctuations.

The paper crane received the location information, and the formation that could condense the fire spirit energy was activated, stirring up a series of updrafts, lifting the paper crane into the air. The paper crane flew tremblingly according to the location information it had received.

……

Yuan Hongying returned home and was planning to start practicing today, but she inexplicably thought of Zhou Qing asking her for her hair just now. She felt panicked and lost the mood to practice.

She sighed slowly, sat down at the door, leaned on the porch and watched the clouds in the sky.

Soon, a trembling paper crane flying over attracted her attention.

When the paper crane flew over the wall, it was blocked by the branches of a wintersweet tree in her yard. It changed direction several times before it finally flew over the branches, flew towards her, and finally stopped in front of her.

Yuan Hongying caught the paper crane in her hand and looked at it in surprise.

She saw many runes painted with red cinnabar on the paper crane, and she realized that it must be these runes that drove the paper crane to find her.

Who is playing a prank by sending paper cranes to my house?

After looking at it for a while, Yuan Hongying finally discovered the secret.

She found a few strands of hair inside the paper crane. Without looking carefully, she immediately recognized that these were the same strands of hair she had given to Zhou Qing before.

Yuan Hongying's face lit up with joy as she murmured, "So this is what you're doing."

Without thinking, she took the paper crane and went out, heading towards Zhou Qing's house.

Just when she was not far from the bamboo forest, she saw a graceful figure on the mountain road ahead, staggering towards the bamboo forest.

When she got closer, she recognized that the man was Nie Yunxi.

"Senior Sister Nie."

Yuan Hongying took a few quick steps forward and greeted him.

Nie Yunxi turned around and saw that it was Yuan Hongying. She asked in surprise, "Where are you going, Junior Sister?"

Yuan Hongying smiled and said, "Let's go find the eldest brother to settle the score."

Nie Yunxi asked in surprise, "Could it be that Senior Brother has offended you?"

Yuan Hongying then recounted the story of how she had just met Zhou Qing, who had asked her for her hair, and how the paper crane had flown into her home.

She smiled and said, "A few days ago I saw him get a book on formations from Uncle Chen. It seems he has studied it well. I was just about to go to his place to see it for myself."

"This thing is really fun. I'll see if I can ask him to make a few for me."

Nie Yunxi was a little distracted and said, "Is Senior Brother studying the formation? How come I don't know?"

Yuan Hongying smiled and said, "Big Brother is not one who likes to show off. What others find extremely difficult is something he can do with ease. Perhaps in his eyes, this is not something worth telling others."

Having said that, you know...

Nie Yunxi was silent for a while, then said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore, Junior Sister."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

Yuan Hongying was startled and asked, "Sister, aren't you going to look for Senior Brother?"

Nie Yunxi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I just happened to be passing by here."

After saying that, he quickly disappeared into the depths of the woods.

Yuan Hongying didn't think much about it and continued walking towards Zhou Qing's house.

Soon she arrived at Zhou Qing's door.

The door was already open, and Zhou Qing was lingering in front of it. Seeing her, he immediately beamed with joy and said, "Since you're here, it means my little messenger has arrived."
