Mortal: I have a gathering technique

Shortly after Fang Qing left the resting cave, in the Fluorite Hall.

A Qi Refining disciple, also dressed in Tianque Fortress attire, quietly approached Wang Xuandu and whispered:

"Uncle-Master, Senior Fang has entered the mine."

Wang Xuandu was sitting at the stone table, playing chess with himself, and waved his hand dismissively upon hearing this:

"So what if they're in? Which of these disciples who come down to patrol hasn't sneaked into the cave to dig up some spirit stones? As long as they don't directly rob the miners of their spirit stones, we can turn a blind eye..."

……

Fang Qing was unaware of the conversation inside the Fluorite Hall.

At this moment, he was controlling the escape light, heading downwards.

Not long after he fled, he felt his feet sink into the ground and he fell into a dry, cool stone cave.

This is a natural stone cave, several meters high, with stalactites of all sizes hanging like inverted icicles at the top, each with its own unique shape.

"This should be it..."

Fang Qing looked around to make sure he hadn't come to the wrong place. After a moment of contemplation, he calmed his breathing and carefully walked forward.

Although the underground caverns were interconnected, Fang Qing quickly detected a faint airflow inside after careful sensing.

He then followed the direction of the airflow and walked for about half an hour, passing through more than a dozen forks in the road, before finally arriving at a huge stalactite cave.

Just then, a faint aura of demonic energy drifted past his nose.

"Have we arrived yet?"

Fang Qing focused his mind, quietly stopped, and concealed his presence to observe his surroundings.

After confirming there was no danger, he took out a set of array flags and a compass, and quickly set up the "Five Elements Sealing Array" inside the stalactite cave.

After doing all this, he patted the storage bag, and a lifelike tiger puppet suddenly landed in front of him.

This is a puppet that Fang Qing made casually in his spare time, and its power is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

After releasing the puppet, Fang Qing immediately took out a piece of fresh flesh and tied it to the puppet.

Then, he controlled the puppet to slowly walk in the direction from which the demonic aura was coming from.

Not long after, Fang Qing sensed that his puppet was under attack.

He didn't retaliate, but simply controlled the puppet to run back.

Before long, the tiger puppet returned to the stalactite cave.

At this moment, the flesh and blood binding the puppet had disappeared, and a thumb-deep slash mark was diagonally across the puppet's back.

Upon seeing the slash mark, Fang Qing raised an eyebrow. By observing the depth of the slash, he easily determined the Blood Jade Spider's attack power.

Overall, the threat is not significant.

Just as Fang Qing was pondering, a series of rustling sounds entered the stalactite cave.

Fang Qing composed himself and looked closely, only to see a large, snow-white spider rushing towards him like a madman.

This spider was three zhang long and about one zhang tall, its body resembling white jade, exuding an unusual beauty.

"This is the Blood Jade Spider? It's not bad looking..."

Fang Qing was amazed.

At the same time, he did not forget to control the puppet to lure the giant spider into the Five Elements Sealing Array.

As soon as the Blood Jade Spider stepped into the array's range, he immediately made a hand seal and activated the array.

Immediately, a five-colored light curtain rose from the ground, completely surrounding the Blood Jade Spider.

The Blood Jade Spider was startled and immediately let out a piercing screech, frantically waving its pair of scythe-like pincers to slash at the five-colored light barrier.

This Blood Jade Spider was indeed a level four demonic beast; when it went berserk, it distorted and deformed the light barrier.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qing quickly activated the great formation, and clusters of five-colored halos descended from the sky, completely enveloping the Blood Jade Spider.

The five-colored halo had a sealing effect. As soon as the Blood Jade Spider was enveloped, it immediately began to sway as if it were drunk.

Not only has the force of the chelipeds' chopping motion been greatly reduced, but the accuracy has also become much worse.

Fang Qing didn't stop; his mouth opened slightly, and a small flag flew out.

The small flag is entirely purple, with a black dragon embroidered on its surface, swimming around lifelike.

It is the magical artifact, the Purple Cloud Banner!

Fang Qing cast a spell towards the flag, and the Purple Cloud Flag instantly grew to over ten feet in size. In an instant, dragon roars echoed within the formation, and purple mist surged.

"go!"

With a low shout from Fang Qing, a black light flashed within the purple mist, and a black dragon several meters long snaked around it, like a black rope tightly binding the Blood Jade Spider.

With the seal and lock, the Blood Jade Spider seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to unleash any decent attacks.

Fang Qing smiled slightly, took out the Fire Gold Spear, and threw it at the Blood Jade Spider.

The spear, over ten feet long, pierced through the air and fiercely thrust towards the head of the Blood Jade Spider.

At that moment, a "crack" was heard, and the Blood Jade Spider's hard carapace was pierced by the spear tip.

Struck by this blow, the Blood Jade Spider finally felt the threat of death, and a terrifying red light immediately appeared on its body.

The once pure white carapace turned blood red in an instant!

The Blood Jade Spider has entered a berserk state!

The Blood Jade Spider, now with increased strength, began to struggle frantically; however, the black rope formed by the Ink Dragon remained firmly locked around it.

Fang Qing calmly controlled the Fire Gold Spear, thrusting it repeatedly at the same spot. After several attempts, he finally pierced the Blood Jade Spider's head.

Fang Qing calmly controlled the Fire Gold Spear, thrusting it repeatedly at the same spot. After several attempts, he finally pierced the Blood Jade Spider's head.

The real fire swirling around the gun instantly incinerated the Blood Jade Spider's brain.

With its brain damaged, the Blood Jade Spider struggled a few times before quickly losing its breath.

"call--"

Fang Qing let out a long breath, raised his hand to recall the Fire Gold Spear and the Purple Cloud Banner, and at the same time put away the array flag and compass.

Next, he walked up to the Blood Jade Spider and put it away in a separate storage bag.

After doing all this, he immediately followed the path the Blood Jade Spider had taken, and soon a larger stalactite cave appeared before him.

Fang Qing stood at the cave entrance and looked inside. In the center of the cave, amidst piles of spirit stone ore, stood an extremely ancient hexagonal teleportation array.

On one side of the teleportation array, there is a five-colored skeleton sitting cross-legged in meditation. The skeleton is suspended three feet off the ground and holds a bright blue token in its hands.

These five-colored skeletons are none other than Ji Xuan, who was transported from the Chaotic Star Sea.

The token in his hand was the Great Teleportation Token.

Fang Qing took a deep breath, quickly walked to the skeleton, took out the Great Teleportation Token, and examined it in his hand.

This item was soft yet firm, not metal, but rather like some kind of wood. He played with it for a while before putting it away.

Then he looked at the five-colored skeleton.

Once he was certain the skeleton had nothing hidden, he waved his hand and threw out several fireballs, engulfing the skeleton.

After being burned, the bones turned into ashes, with seven or eight small, colorful beads faintly visible in the ashes.

Fang Qing reached out and collected all the colorful beads in his hand. After examining them for a few moments, he couldn't help but frown.

"With the Heaven-Mending Pill broken down like this, I wonder if we can still use the Gathering Technique to extract the formula..."

After pondering for a moment, Fang Qing put away the five-colored beads.

After searching, he successfully found two crystal-clear eggs on the back of a thick stone pillar.

After putting the spider eggs into a specially prepared spirit beast bag, Fang Qing returned to the teleportation array.

Looking at the ancient formation, now in ruins, Fang Qing slowly raised his right hand:

[Tool Collection!]

A golden light appeared, and soon, a jade slip appeared in Fang Qing's hand.

Fang Qing probed his divine sense and observed for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up:

"This teleportation array can actually move!"

Fang Qing initially thought that the large formation was built underground in the canyon because it required a special location.

Unexpectedly, the refining method collected clearly stated that this teleportation array is located using a "positioning compass" and has little to do with the location of the array base.

"In that case, wouldn't I be able to move this great formation away...?"

The real fire swirling around the gun instantly incinerated the Blood Jade Spider's brain.

With its brain damaged, the Blood Jade Spider struggled a few times before quickly losing its breath.

"call--"

Fang Qing let out a long breath, raised his hand to recall the Fire Gold Spear and the Purple Cloud Banner, and at the same time put away the array flag and compass.
