Starting as a spiritual plant master, may I eventually become the master of all lands.

Chapter 129 Mistwood Array

"I am Cisong Daoren. I wonder if you all welcome me?"

The man had an ancient, weathered appearance, with white hair and beard; he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Although he was speaking to the five people, his eyes were fixed on Song Chuan.

Upon hearing the words "Ci Song Dao Ren," Song Chuan's pupils contracted, and he was shocked!

The two rogue cultivators from the Jing Kingdom who were killed at the foot of Mount Dai mentioned that the person who summoned them to the Qi Kingdom inadvertently revealed the Daoist name of one of the two elders, Songhe, who was none other than Daoist Cisong!

Later, during a gathering of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the sect, I heard that the deaths of mortals in Baiquan County were discovered by the Suspended Gourd Pavilion to be the work of rogue cultivators from the Jing Kingdom, which was quite a coincidence!

He suspected that the two elders, Song and He, might be hiding behind the scenes, using some kind of evil magic to refine elixirs from mortals and then framing the hired rogue cultivator from the Jing Kingdom.

There were also the cultivators who dug out the wood cores on the first day in the territory of the Muke. Bai Sandong noticed that the two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators inside were extremely old. Could they be the two elders, Songhe and Erlao?

The core of the wood contains pure wood spirit power. Although this substance cannot directly increase lifespan, what if other materials are added, such as creatures like cave salamanders, and a large amount of mortal essence, and then refined using evil magic?

It might even increase lifespan more than the longevity pill that Ku Zhuo mentioned!

A cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage has a lifespan of about three hundred years. Ci Song is probably around that age, or even older!

Although these are all just my own suspicions, it's best not to get involved with such people. However, directly refusing to let a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator join would certainly seem very strange to everyone.

Just as they were about to ask how to begin, Cui Wang and Zhuo Juntao laughed and said, "With Fellow Daoist Cisong's cultivation level, we are naturally very pleased to welcome you."

Song Chuan thought to himself, "These two idiots!"

However, Cui Wang and Zhuo Juntao had no idea of ​​the reasons behind it. Could Song Chuan possibly refuse?

Song Chuan thought for a moment and decided, "Oh well! This is great! The team already had the unpredictable Dai Lingjun, and now this Ci Song is here. Maybe it's a good thing that things are getting muddier."

"With Fellow Daoist Cisong joining us, it seems our formation is safe. Let's go!"

Song Chuan chuckled, stepped out of the treehouse first, flicked his finger, and Bai Erhong's green hair shot out, circled once, and carried everyone towards a mountain.

About half an hour later, Song Chuan stood among a group of treehouses, lost in thought.

This was the first mountain they passed on their way to the Muke territory. And the six of them were standing near Bai Wu's farmhouse, in the eighth row of treehouses.

The secluded and leisurely scene I had witnessed that day had vanished completely. My divine sense could sense that all the wooden guests had hidden themselves in the treehouse.

This mountain was not only home to a few cultivators; there were cultivators and skilled wood-wielding practitioners in various formations, though they were all quite far apart.

A wooden window of a treehouse opened slightly, revealing a crack through which a pair of green eyes peered toward Song Chuan.

No need to guess, it's Bai Wunong, that bold little woodcutter.

Song Chuan pointed the array flag, and a beam of yellow light emanated from the top of the flag, disappearing into the ground a hundred or so feet away, which was the location of the array's core.

"Everyone, I'm going to the core of the formation. I'll send a message shortly, and I hope you'll cooperate," Song Chuan said solemnly.

He glanced at Cui Wang, who was looking up at the sky. Under the bright sun, weren't a cultivator's eyes also eyes?

I took over his position of charge, and the guy seemed dissatisfied.

Hehe, you can't argue with that!

Song Chuan arrived at the center of the formation, stepped on the ground, and disappeared into the earth.

There are many difficult-to-discern earth veins below. He has the Qianhuang Pearl and knows the art of earth vein analysis, so he can clearly see the direction of these earth veins.

If Bai Erhong knew he had such abilities, she would probably give him a more important position, and that second-tier array master would have to step aside.

At the confluence of the earth's veins, a circular array plate was buried. The array plate had a concealment function, and ordinary people could not see it; only the array flag in his hand could sense it.

He examined the array plate. The array was called the Mistwood Array. There were about a dozen similar arrays embedded on this mountain, but not all of them were Mistwood Arrays; some had other attributes as well.

The Mistwood Array is based on the earth element, which is why Bai Erhong sent him, an earth element cultivator, to oversee the area!

It's much more powerful than the formation in his cave dwelling in Vine Flower Valley. After all, Vine Flower Valley is much safer, so there's no need to equip cultivators' cave dwellings with very good formations.

These formations are not usually activated because there is a larger formation outside the Wood Guest territory.

But since Bai Erhong said that the mountain demons have invaded, it must mean that some mountain demons have already infiltrated the great formation.

The areas where ordinary woodcarvers live are probably not the focus of the mandrills' attacks. The mandrills that infiltrated were naturally high-ranking ones, heading straight for the woodcarvers' strongholds.

If a high-level mountain demon destroys the outer array of the Wood Guest, then a first or second-level mountain demon might appear here.

Song Chuan sat cross-legged, spent a moment refining the array flag, and then pointed the array flag at the array plate.

The array plate swayed gently, and then wisps of smoke rose from countless earth veins—earth-generated mist!

The mist rose from the ground to the surface, stretching for several miles. Song Chuan's spiritual sense, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was approximately sixty feet long, aided by...

The dry yellow pearl can reach the level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, around ninety to one hundred zhang.

At this moment, he could see everything that the fog reached.

Dai Lingjun stood in the mist, her head down, but Song Chuan could still clearly see the expression on her face. She seemed shy, but in reality, she was somewhat absent-minded.

Meanwhile, Master Cisong was chatting and smiling with several people, appearing as a kind and approachable old man.

Song Chuan looked at the treehouse in the mist again. Bai Wunong was jumping around inside, while Mu Ke looked uneasy.

The mist enveloped dozens of treehouses, inside which were about four hundred wooden figures with no cultivation.

Song Chuan waved the array flags, and the spiritual wood on which each treehouse was located suddenly burst forth with wood spiritual power. Pieces of bark rose out of thin air and firmly surrounded the treehouse.

The mist clung to the tree bark, and the treehouses vanished instantly.

This is the second use of this formation. The earth-generated mist, combined with the wood-elemental defense system, conceals the treehouses. When the second-tier mountain demons enter the mist, they cannot see beyond a meter, making it very difficult to find the true location of these treehouses.

Even if it is found, it will be difficult to break through in the short term!

The mist in the Mistwood Array has another function: it can change the position of one's own cultivators within the array, possessing the ability to teleport.

Song Chuan pondered for a moment. He remembered that in the array formation data he had seen in the sect, this kind of ground-generated mist actually had two functions: weakening the enemy's divine sense and teleportation!

Earth-elemental cultivators can also utilize earth veins to enhance the power of localized mist, giving it effects such as binding enemies.

He chuckled, thinking that if a mandrill attacked later, he would have to give it a try.

At that moment, Song Chuan's voice suddenly reached Dai Lingjun and the others' ears: "Please, fellow Daoists, go and take precautions in the locations I've indicated!"

Cui Wang, shrouded in mist, crossed his arms and snorted.
