Looking at the formation map engraved on the sky, Li Jinyao blinked and turned to Bai Qiuran:
“This image of the formation can’t be remembered just by memory… Sword Patriarch, please kill it.”
Bai Qiuran casually used a palm to crush this huge monster, and then Li Jinyao explained:
“I think we should find out the locations of these formations first, and when Junior Sister Ruowei comes over with the surveying and mapping tools, we will use the surveying and mapping method to rub the formations that can produce high-grade spirit stones.”
That’s right, the reason why Bai Qiuran went back and forth to this trial but didn’t pass it, in addition to farm spirit stones, was to wait for someone who could record this formation that could produce high-grade spirit stones and bring it back to research.
Bai Qiuran knew that behind the hall door, it’s highly likely that the Land Immortals were waiting for him. When he walked outside the hall for the first time, his Mind Awareness had already felt the violent Mind Awareness from inside the hall. When he approached the gate of the temple, that Mind Awareness was emotionally like a roller coaster.
The guy in the hall could not have imagined that the strength of his Mind Awareness could reach the level of penetrating the hall with the defensive enchantment, so he sat there in such a stately manner.
Even though he could clean up the enemies inside, he didn’t know what tricks those enemies have. In case he pushed them too hard, they may use some desperate methods, which could destroy the formation or even the entire mansion.
Not to mention these methods, if Bai Qiuran accidentally hit those formations once or twice during the battle, that would be terrible.
This formation could make spirit stones on its own, unlike the formation that made spirit stones by gathering spiritual energy. With this formation, the cultivation world would have infinite resources of spirit stones in the future.
Spirit stones had many effects: assisting practitioners in their cultivation, being used as the power source in formations, forging, and other creations. The cultivation world used spirit stones as basic currency because of their crucial role. Currently, the number of cultivators in the world was still relatively small, and the reserves of spirit stone ore that can be mined were still enough. But no one could guarantee that after the further development of the cultivation world in the future, the spirit stones would not exhaust.
Only with the improvement of production capacity could the world of comprehension develop further. After the war between humans and demons, the human race could establish a unified and prosperous dynasty of cultivators, the role of this technology was definitely indispensable.
Bai Qiuran took Li Jinyao all the way up and cleared all the monsters they encountered on the way. Li Jinyao was responsible for finding the hidden node of the formation. After some efforts, the two spent about a whole day and successfully located all the nodes of all formations in this trial.
In addition to the formation of creating high-grade spirit stones, there were formations that create monsters and the formations that summoned thunder, all of them densely mixed together to form an extremely complex formation. Now they could only use the simplest method to print all this up, then slowly analyzed the results after bring it back.
After finding all the nodes of the formation, the two followed the way they came back to the cliff.
As soon as he stood firmly, a few people shuttled through the mist above.
“The front is the last level, cheer up.”
Qing Danying leaned out of the fog, and was saying some words of encouragement to someone behind her, then she turned her head and saw Bai Qiuran.
This little girl was stunned for a while, and then a vigilant color appeared on her face, loudly saying:
“Be careful! It seems that the [association with the unbeloved] trial is not over yet! Damned thief, see my move!”
While talking, she rushed towards Bai Qiuran, her palms stretched out and released a large emerald green sea of fire.
Bai Qiuran pulled Li Jinyao to behind, then stretched out his hand, directly grabbed Qing Danying’s back neck, and lifted her out of the flames. The emerald flame hit Bai Qiuran’s face, and then was divided into two halves, like a torrent blocked by a rock, leaving a large blank area behind Bai Qiuran.
“Let me go!”
Qing Danying was constantly thumping in Bai Qiuran’s hands, her posture was like when Bai Qiuran was holding her wings hundreds of years ago when she was a chicken.
But this time, she seemed to have two helpers.
Hearing Qing Danying’s scream, two attacks suddenly appeared in the mist. Bai Qiuran was familiar with these two attacks. One of them was the Ecstasy Bone Palm in Su Xiangxue’s Phantom Charm, and the other was a sword beam, which came from the Qingming Sword Sect, a move that he had taught Jue Yunzi long ago.
Bai Qiuran raised his palm and reached out to stop it. The sword beam and the insidious palm were reflected to the side of the cliff, and a large area of the cliff was cracked.
Two figures came out of the fog, but they were Su Xiangxue’s disciple You Meiqiao, and Jue Yunzi’s new apprentice, a dull young man named Lin Fan.
After seeing that Bai Qiuran was the one who subdued Qing Danying, the two of them obviously froze for a while, but the next moment, Lin Fan took the lead, and the metal flying sword in his hand splits into countless sword beams and flew towards Bai Qiuran.
The light of the sword flying in the sky was exactly the Sharp Golden Sword Technique of Jueyunzi. Looking at its power, Lin Fan has clearly practiced it to the last level. Bai Qiuran saw it and used his finger as a sword, using the same sword technique to fight with Lin Fan.
A bit of sword beam gleamed at his fingertip, and the sword beams created by Bai Qiuran and Lin Fan leaped back and forth in a three-foot-square-circle space around them, making a jingle and clear sound. Between the attacks, Bai Qiuran looked calm, while Lin Fan’s expression became more tense, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
“The attribute of Metal is ever-changing, so the essence of Sharp Golden Sword Technique is rapid and endless change. You have to move from the angle that the enemy can’t expect, and in a way that the enemy can’t expect.”
Bai Qiuran clamped Lin Fan’s flying sword with two fingers and said:
“You are still lacking skill, ask for guidance from your master after you go back.”
After that, he spun his wrist and easily disarmed Lin Fan’s sword. At the same time, he hit Lin Fan’s chest with the hilt of the flying sword and knocked him back.
But at this time, a figure came again, and You Meiqiao moved with elegant and charming footwork like a dance step, stretched out her hands, and attacked Bai Qiuran’s two vital points.
Her move was like a lover’s embrace, but it hid a cold killing intent.
Seeing You Meiqiao’s movements, Bai Qiuran hesitated a little, then grabbed her wrist backhandedly and grabbed her with a standard grappling.
Although he could do all Phantom Charm’s moves, after all, this was a technique for women to practice. If it’s performed by a man that would be an eyesore.
“Your footwork is good, but your moves are too artificial.”
Holding You Meiqiao with one hand, Bai Qiuran also commented:
“Like your master, when she used it, I didn’t know if she really asked for a hug or wanted to kill someone.”
You Meiqiao struggled, so Bai Qiuran let her go, and threw Qing Danying out by the way.
At this time, Lin Fan picked up the sword and wanted to continue to attack, but You Meiqiao stopped him.
“There is no need to fight.”
She said:
“This is the real thing…hello, Master’s husband.”
