Chapter 130: Uncover the secret and find another surprise The weather today is a bit abnormal. In late autumn, the weather suddenly started to get colder, and there was even a drizzle in the morning, which did not stop until after noon. On the eastern hillside of the small valley, there was a flat, moist grassland with several figures crisscrossing each other, with gun shadows and knife flashes, fighting fiercely. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Li Dingguo was dealing with the siege of Xiao Douya, Hongmei, Wei Jinfan and Li Mei at the same time. Judging from the aura emanating from Hongmei and Xiaodouya, they have apparently reached the third mid-level of martial arts! The two talented girls, Wei Jinfan and Li Mei, also broke through to the second late stage of martial arts. In fact, it is not just them who have made such great progress in their cultivation after nearly a month of hard training. Cao Yongxiang broke through to the early third level of martial arts, while Tang Guangqiang, Huang Zhanglong and Liang Hetang broke through to the peak of the second level of martial arts respectively, and were only one step away from the third level of martial arts. "Bang bang..."
"Dangdang..." Facing the siege of four people, Li Dingguo was relaxed and calmly resolved their attacks one by one. The people at the scene moved incredibly fast. Ordinary people could not see the figures on the field at all. They only saw a burst of gun shadows and knife lights, and the sound of violent collisions. Everyone was using all their strength to perform the Yunlong Nine Turns Technique, leaping and flying. The scenes were much more grand than those exaggerated martial arts movies in Li Dingguo's previous life. Everyone's cultivation progress is improving so fast, Li Dingguo will certainly not stand still. He has now reached the peak of the Body Refining Realm and there is no room for improvement. Unless one can break through the bottleneck and reach the Qi Refining Realm in one fell swoop, one can continue to improve. Therefore, Li Dingguo has recently placed the focus of his daily practice on the main practice method, the Zhoutian Xingchen Zhenjing. In his spare time, he specialized in swordsmanship, body movements and medical skills. It took nearly a month, and now his Broken Edge Sword Technique and Cloud Dragon Nine Turn Technique have been improved to perfection. His medical skills have also improved greatly and reached the great success level. Now, he can prepare Qi and Blood Soup and Yang Shen Soup with ease and there is no chance of making mistakes. But there is one thing that has been bothering Li Dingguo for some time and he can't figure it out. Those were the two badly damaged special manuals containing great secrets that he had obtained from the eldest son of the Wang family. He had never been able to learn how to practice them. Although his golden finger is powerful, it can only improve the skills that Li Dingguo has learned after he entered the martial arts world. It cannot create something out of nothing. Li Dingguo guessed that the reason he was unable to practice the two mysterious and unusual techniques was probably because he had not yet produced true Qi in his body. But this is not right. There is no other reason, Wangjiazhuang is famous for its ability to cultivate various spiritual plants. Although their family does not have any Qi Refining Realm masters, they can still cultivate various grades of spiritual rice, spiritual medicine, spiritual herbs, etc. on a large scale. Their means of cultivation, apart from those obvious spiritual plant husbands and spiritual farmers, may be the two magical techniques recorded in the two special secret books they obtained: the Spirit Rain Technique and the Earth Spirit Technique. These two suspected magical techniques may be the Wang family's hidden means of cultivating various spiritual plants on a large scale.
The Wang family has many spiritual plant growers and farmers, but it is impossible for them to cultivate so many spiritual rices, spiritual medicines and other spiritual plants of various levels easily. But this brings up a question: Can the basic five elements magic from ancient times that is said to be practiced and used by practitioners in the body refining realm? Even though Li Dingguo himself studied and practiced so diligently and spent such a long time, he still could not master those two unique basic five-element techniques. It was simply impossible for the Wang family's spiritual plant farmers and spiritual farmers who were in the body refining realm to do it. In today's world, all the spiritual planters and farmers are nothing more than warriors who are proficient in planting and breeding. It is impossible for them to be more talented and virtuous than Li Dingguo. There must be a deeper secret hidden in this. Thinking of this, he no longer had the heart to compete with Xiao Douya, Hongmei and the others. He raised his hand and fired a few shots to deflect their attacking spiritual soldiers, then stopped the combat practice. Letting them practice martial arts here on their own, Li Dingguo walked towards the big wooden house where he lived. During these few days, the only thing that worried him was waiting for reliable news that the government troops had left Dingbian City. He had already asked Liang Hetang to personally go to Dingbian City to keep an eye on the situation and come back to report as soon as he had any news. After returning to the big wooden house, Li Dingguo immediately found two badly damaged strange secret books that he had obtained from the eldest son of the Wang family on the bookshelf he had built with his own hands. He had read the two strange secret books, "An Introduction to the Five Elements Secret Technique" and "Basic Five Elements Technique", several times and could say that he had memorized their contents by heart. The only thing I didn’t understand was the last appendix page of the book “An Initial Explanation of the Five Elements Secret Art”. This is a strange picture, which looks like an illustration of a military formation. However, after Li Dingguo looked at it once or twice, he found that it was not. In addition, he was short of time recently, so he did not study it in depth. Now, because he was puzzled and it did not make sense no matter how he thought about it, he took out these two special secret books again and wanted to study them in depth. There was no way. Li Dingguo was very envious of the Wang family's special planting secrets. If I could solve this secret, it would be of great help to the team I have formed. A base with a stable output of spiritual rice, spiritual medicine, spiritual herbs and spiritual roots is vital to any force with a stable base. He took the two fragments of ancient books to the desk beside him, read them carefully again, and then focused his attention on the attached diagram on the last page of "An Initial Explanation of the Five Elements Secret Art". About half an hour later, Li Dingguo, who was frowning and thinking hard, suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up, "No! This is not a military formation, nor a picture, but a legendary ancient formation layout diagram!" He stood up excitedly, and took out a dozen second-level soul beads that he had collected carefully from a large wooden box beside him. He tried to set up a strange and unknown formation on the ground according to the instructions on the diagram that he had memorized. There was a reason why he tried this. According to what he had seen and heard, all the formations nowadays use spirit stones, soul beads, demon beasts' inner elixirs, magic cores, etc. as central energy sources to activate the formations. The legendary ancient formations are even more peculiar. They simply use this kind of treasures containing spiritual energy to directly arrange the formation nodes, and then use the power of qi and blood or true qi to activate them. Since Li Dingguo has already guessed that this mysterious diagram is most likely a basic five-element formation, he must of course try it according to the arrangement of the legendary ancient formation. After a while, Li Dingguo, in this large wooden house, strictly followed the records in the diagram, enlarged it in proportion, and arranged a set of formation nodes on the ground covering an area of about ten feet in radius. He then went through it again in detail, calculating rigorously the position of each node he had placed, and after scaling it up in proportion to the diagram, he found no errors or omissions. "The center of the formation is here." He came to a soul bead of the second-level peak grade that was placed as the center node of the formation, and circulated the energy and blood in his body, and began to continuously inject his energy and blood into it! "Buzz..."
An extremely magical scene appeared in front of Li Dingguo's eyes: a colorful light suddenly emerged from the ground covered by the formation, then rose up, and then formed a five-colored light shield, covering the space within a radius of ten feet! At this time, Li Dingguo was surprised to find that the spiritual energy of the outside world began to continuously gather from all directions into the space shrouded by the formation! In just a moment, the concentration of spiritual energy in the area covered by the formation increased by more than double, and it was still growing continuously! "This formation is amazing!" Li Dingguo couldn't help but exclaimed, "Just as I expected, this mysterious diagram is a legendary ancient formation!" At this moment, he suddenly sensed something and quickly immersed his mind into the sea of consciousness to check the changes on the gold finger panel. "Host: Li Dingguo (third-rate top general) Age: 10 Realm: Peak of the Third Level of Martial Arts (Qi and Blood Breaking the Limit Nine Times) Constitution: 79 (Physique includes comprehensive physical attributes such as strength, speed, agility, etc.) Spirit: 79 Life weapon: Xuanhuang Bell (sealed: 1/9) Talents: Natural Power + (Advanced), Affinity with Spiritual Beasts + (Advanced), Photographic Memory (Not Upgradable) Skills: Tiger Roar Fist + (perfect), Horsemanship + (perfect), Thunder Arrows + (perfect), Thunder Guns + (perfect), Blade Breaking + (perfect), Medical Skills + (great success), Stealth Skills + (perfect), Breath Control Skills + (perfect), Five Elements Basic Spirit Gathering Array + (beginner) Movement: Cloud Dragon Nine Revolutions + (Perfect) Main training method: Zhou Tian Xing Chen Zhen Jing + (minor success) Luck: 28 (If the luck value is zero, you will suffer misfortune) Star Fate: Po Jun (Not yet activated)" Sure enough, on the skill panel, there appeared an entry-level five-element basic spirit gathering array! This was a formation that he had never heard of before, and it was very different from the various formations mastered by today's great craftsmen. But the fact that this formation can miraculously gather the thin spiritual energy between heaven and earth continuously within the coverage of the formation is enough to illustrate the magic of this five-element basic spirit gathering formation. No wonder the Wang family has so many second- and third-level martial arts masters, at least dozens more than the Tian family. No wonder the Wang family can continuously produce so many kinds of spiritual rice, spiritual medicine, spiritual herbs and spiritual roots. It turns out that the real secret lies in this magical ancient formation! As long as Li Dingguo was not stupid, he could guess that this magical five-element basic spirit gathering formation played a very crucial role in it. There is no doubt that this magical five-element basic spirit gathering formation can not only create an excellent cultivation environment and accelerate the progress of practitioners, but also can be used to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in some spiritual plant planting areas, making them grow faster and better! This will undoubtedly bring huge benefits to any force, and it will be endless and recyclable! This is the Wang family's biggest backup plan and also the Wang family's biggest secret. When Wangjiazhuang was suddenly surrounded by the rebel army and the Wang family members were preparing to break out and escape, it was given to the eldest son of the Wang family for safekeeping. As a result, the eldest young master of the Wang family had bad luck and met Li Dingguo's team who were searching for the remaining enemies. After being easily killed by Li Dingguo, the two fragments of ancient books fell into Li Dingguo's hands. "Ha ha……" Having solved the biggest doubt in his heart and gained something beyond Li Dingguo's imagination, he could no longer contain his joy and couldn't help but chuckle. This unexpected gain is not small, and it is of great importance to the future development of this new force that I have created. This will be of great help in solving the problem of self-sufficiency in cultivation resources in the future. However, in order to set up this magical ancient formation, too many treasures such as soul beads, spirit stones, monster inner cores, magic cores, etc. are needed. It is impossible for him to use this magical formation widely. But even if it can only be used secretly on a small scale, it is enough to solve many difficult problems. (End of this chapter)
