Mortal: Copying the entry, reborn as Linghu Patriarch

Over the Yellow Maple Valley.

A red figure streaked across the sky, its robes fluttering, and spiritual energy surged.

Dressed in red, Hong Fu moved swiftly and landed in front of Linghu Qing in an instant, bowing respectfully.

"Ancestor."

Linghu Qing raised his chin, his gaze sweeping over Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei behind him, and said casually, "This is my newly accepted disciple, Xin Ruyin, and her maid, Xiao Mei."

"Take them down to settle them in. Find a cave with abundant spiritual energy, prepare cultivation resources, and regularly massage Xin Ruyin's meridians."

Hong Fu replied, "Yes, Ancestor."

She looked up, curiously examining Xin Ruyin.

The girl before me was beautiful and gentle. Although she was a little reserved, she could not hide the intelligence in her eyes.

Hong Fu was surprised.

She knew her ancestor's temperament all too well.

lazy!

His previous disciples were all taken in when he had just broken through to the Core Formation stage. After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, he had extremely high standards and never took in any more disciples.

What is so special about Xin Ruyin that made the patriarch make an exception for her?

She suppressed her doubts.

"Please come with me, both of you."

"Thank you for your help, senior."

Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei quickly bowed in greeting.

"You're too kind, junior sister."

Hong Fu smiled gently at Xin Ruyin.

Watching the three figures depart, Linghu Qing didn't linger any longer, and the jade ruyi reappeared.

"Walk."

Linghu Qing stepped onto the jade ruyi, transforming into a beam of white light that shot straight into the sky, speeding towards the direction of the blood-red forbidden land.

Having just obtained the entry for "Array Daoist," I'll head to the Crimson Forbidden Land to study that mysterious restriction.

In the time it takes to breathe dozens of breaths.

Bloodstained Forbidden Land.

It is actually the remains of the residence of an ancient cultivator.

Linghu Qing landed in the air, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked ahead.

As far as the eye could see, there was a barren mountain, with withered grass and yellow trees, and jagged rocks.

It stands out starkly from the surrounding green hills and clear waters.

An invisible light curtain enveloped the entire barren mountain, its patterns flowing and subtly conveying an eeriness and majesty.

Wind-attribute restriction.

In the past, he would have found these complex array patterns obscure and difficult to understand, and would have had no idea where to begin.

But at this moment.

The originally chaotic array patterns seemed to instantly become orderly, and streams of information rushed into his mind.

What a brilliant restriction!

A hint of surprise flashed in Linghu Qing's eyes.

This restriction is several times more sophisticated than the intercontinental teleportation array he repaired before; it is a feat that only a Nascent Soul stage array master could set up.

He knew it in his heart.

Although he possesses the talent of "Array Master," he lacks systematic knowledge of array formations.

We are still far from being able to set up an array of this level.

Fortunately.

This restriction is ancient, and its spiritual energy has dissipated, so its power has been weakened by more than half.

Linghu Qing was full of confidence. He took out a blue jade slip from his storage bag and touched it lightly with his fingertips.

This is a jade slip containing array formations that he retrieved from the Yellow Maple Valley Scripture Pavilion. It contains knowledge of various array formations, from the basics to the Nascent Soul stage.

If you lack the knowledge, then learn it on the spot.

Spiritual energy was injected into the jade slip, and the jade slip instantly lit up with a faint light.

A vast amount of knowledge about formations flooded into his brain like a burst dam.

For an ordinary cultivator, such a vast amount of knowledge would be overwhelming and impossible to learn.

Linghu Qing's brain was like a super processor, working at lightning speed, easily understanding and absorbing this information.

This cannot be called learning at all.

It should be called "enlightenment".

However, he had other things to do before he could start studying.

A magical elixir appeared in his hand.

Linghu Qing casually tossed a century-old Ganoderma lucidum into the Mirror of Illusion, allowing it to grow faster.

He absorbed knowledge of formations while allowing the spiritual herbs to grow on their own, achieving both simultaneously.

The wood spirit mushroom can be refined into the wood spirit pill to increase cultivation level, which is most suitable for cultivators who use single-attribute cultivation techniques.

It suits him perfectly.

The spirit beast pouch opened.

A white spider emerged, stretching out its eight long legs as it crawled on the ground.

Its entire body is as white as jade, with light blue stripes on its abdomen and back, resembling an ordinary spider.

It was the white jade spider that I had picked up on the way to the teleportation array earlier.

Linghu Qing, a Nascent Soul cultivator, casually took it as his spirit pet.

"Squeak—"

The white jade spider nuzzled his leg affectionately, wanting food.

"Here you go, here you go."

The enormous corpse of the level-two demon beast, the Golden-Tailed Ox, appeared out of thin air.

The white jade spider happily rushed into the corpse. Faced with a body ten times its own size, it tore open its abdomen and crawled into the golden-tailed ox's body, feeding with its sharp, barbed teeth.

Despite the abundance of food, the White Jade Spider is a fourth-tier demonic beast, equivalent to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The Golden-Tailed Ox is only at the second tier, in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even if you eat it all, you'll only feel half full.

"Eat up, eat up."

"Eating more blood food will increase the chances of evolving into a Blood Jade Spider."

"You, the White Jade Spider, are of no use to me. If you don't evolve, I'll kill you."

Linghu Qing looked at the golden-tailed ox's blood-soaked, swollen belly and said expectantly.

The Blood Jade Spider is immune to the Azure Ice Flame and is a spirit insect that can lift the Void Heaven Cauldron, making it extremely important to him.

He will definitely go to the Chaotic Star Sea.

The Blood Jade Spider was part of his plan.

When a White Jade Spider feeds heavily on blood and suffers a life-or-death experience, it may evolve into a Blood Jade Spider.

The wriggling body suddenly stopped.

The white jade spider seemed to have heard Linghu Qing's stern command, feeling a chill run down its spine and its leg hairs standing on end.

It was as if he foresaw the fierce battle that was about to take place.

But soon they started tearing at the food even faster.

Isn't it just a life-or-death thrill?

What's so scary about it? For its master's sake, it must evolve into a Blood Jade Spider!

A gentle breeze blew through the valley, causing clothes to flutter.

Linghu Qing pressed the jade slip against his forehead, reading it while simultaneously drawing array patterns in the air with his hand.

In the void.

A series of pale green array patterns appeared and disappeared, repeatedly deduced and modified.

He would open his eyes from time to time, look at the restrictions of the Crimson Forbidden Land, and carefully study them in accordance with the knowledge in the jade slip.

time flies.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Linghu Qing slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

At this moment, he has mastered all kinds of formations, and even Tian Qin'er, who will reach the Core Formation stage in the future, may not be able to compare with him.

He could already call himself a Grandmaster of Array Formation.

Linghu Qing stood up and strode towards the restrictions of the Crimson Forbidden Land.

With a flick of his fingertips, a wisp of spiritual energy was injected into the restriction.

The array patterns flowed and swirled.

He accurately located the weak point of the restriction, slightly altered the arrangement of a few array patterns, and created a completely different array effect.

The formation has been changed!

Linghu Qing made the restriction ineffective against him alone, nothing more, since other sects would need to use it in the future.

After doing all this, he moved and stepped directly into the red light curtain.

There were no obstacles.

The restriction perfectly bypassed his cultivation level detection and no longer hindered him.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

No longer barren mountains and rocks, but numerous muddy swamps and pools, shrouded in mist, with a rich spiritual energy permeating the air, mixed with a faint fishy smell.
