Cultivate steadily, the whole world of cultivating immortals is my home

Chapter 169: The third-level formation mage, the evil cultivator who puts the blame on others
The energy in the earth ball is continuously poured into the formation, keeping the formation in continuous operation.

This layout was very clever. Shen Lian sensed it carefully for a long time before he saw some clues.

Immediately, he slowly withdrew his spiritual thoughts.

He has accumulated a lot of insight points over the years, but he has not used them to improve his formation, but now is the time.

Based on his current knowledge of formations, Shen Lian could only initially determine that the underground formations were serial formations.

With a third-order formation as the core and surrounding Muyang Mountain, a huge formation land was constructed.

Compared with this place, the Huogufang City created by Gong Zhongze was far behind.

"Fellow Daoist, what's wrong?"

Hong Le pushed a jade box full of spiritual energy in front of Shen Lian. He was just talking about everything, but unexpectedly the guest was in a daze.

He was exaggerating.

Or is this third-level crocodile grass bad?
"Shopkeeper Hong, the potency of your ancient crocodile herb is less than 300 years old. The surface of the leaves is yellow and withered. It's obvious that you were careless during picking and the roots were damaged."

Shen Lian pointed to the elixir in the jade box, "In addition, looking at the roots, there are traces of blackening at the broken parts of the roots, which proves that after picking them, they wanted to nourish them with spiritual things, but instead they were injured because they did not control the spiritual energy well. Roots."

"Cough cough..."

Hong Le coughed twice. His third-level elixir was indeed a bit underheated.

He really wanted to use spiritual energy to stimulate it, but unfortunately he was not good at it and almost ruined the elixir.

"Is fellow Taoist a spiritual planter or an alchemist?"

"Slightly understand."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I want this crocodile grass. Please give me a suitable price."

Once someone points out the quality problem, it’s natural that you can’t sell it at a higher price.

By the time Shen Lian came out of Qianqiu Tower, the crocodile grass had already been put into the storage bag.

Don't think that there is a crocodile character, but in fact it is a spiritual grass with dual attributes of water and earth. It can be used to refine the third-level Baoyun Dan, which will help monks understand the dual attributes of water and earth in their practice.

Without stopping in Qianqiufang City, Shen Lian flew directly to Qingyufang City and looked for a place to stay.

……

[Perception Points-50000]

[Formation: Third level low-grade]

……

About a month later, Shen Lian entered Qianqiu Tower again.

This time was different from last time, but he changed his identity and turned into a monk on the seventh floor of the foundation building, coming to buy materials for making talismans.

In the next two months, Shen Lian continued to change his identity, either coming to buy elixirs, talismans, or magic weapons, and entered Qianqiu Tower dozens of times.

The magic weapons, talismans, etc. he purchased were not a waste of spiritual stones. Having had the experience of being the mastermind last time, he felt that it was still necessary to keep some spiritual objects refined by outside talisman masters and weapon refiners.

After many explorations, Shen Lian further determined the mystery of the core formation earth ball and found a loophole.

The reason why the monks who arranged this underground chain formation established Qianqiufang City and arranged the core of the formation under Qianqiu Downstairs was because the loophole of this formation was at the core.

After many close inspections, Shen Lian discovered that the earth ball was not a natural spiritual object, but a specially refined third-level earth magic weapon.

After escaping directly from the outside of Qianqiufang City into the underground, Shen Lian carefully bypassed the pre-detected restrictions and reached all the way to the core of the earth ball.

Divine thoughts penetrated the earth and rocks and landed on the earth ball.

The earth ball rotates slowly, continuously releasing earth-yellow spiritual light, causing the surrounding formations to prohibit bright disillusionment.

Shen Lian felt the movement of Tu Qiu and waited quietly.

This earth ball, which is the core energy of the formation, will be stagnant for nine breaths every three days.

There is such a pause because there is a deviation in the coordination between the earth ball and the formation.

You need to use these nine breaths to readjust your coordination.

After thoroughly understanding this formation, Shen Lian felt that if he was asked to arrange it, he could make it smooth and seamless.

This is called professionalism.

Under the earth, the khaki aura flickering from the earth ball suddenly dissipated, and the surrounding formation restrictions also dimmed at this moment.

The earthy light on his body flashed, and then the earth spirit puppet got in.

"Ah."

When the earth spirit puppet entered, Shen Lian was slightly startled.

It's not that there was an accident, it's that he went in too neatly.

After entering, the earth spirit puppet played a talisman, and then a spiritual thought emerged from the talisman, penetrating the earth and rocks in front of it, and containing all the scenes it sensed within the talisman.

In an instant, before the earth ball had recovered, the earth spirit puppet came back with the detection talisman.

Shen Lian escaped from Qianqiufang City without stopping.

It's not that he is too timid, but because Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to Dongtian Stone, he has to be cautious.

In the eyes of monks in the world of immortality, storage rings can be made from cave stones the size of rice grains.

Shen Lian thinks so too.

But because of this, why does the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce protect the Dongtian Stone so solemnly?

What everyone knows may not necessarily be true, just like Shen Lian himself has the Tianyan Fire Domain, which can transform first- and second-order ores into third-order.

He has the opportunity, but others may not.

The detection talisman is also one of the many talismans he inherited. This kind of talisman was originally developed to detect mineral veins.

However, this kind of talisman is not as flexible as imagined.

This talisman can accurately determine that there are no mineral veins underground, because once there are mineral veins, the unique spiritual power in the spiritual veins will disrupt the accuracy of the detection talisman.

In other words, this talisman can confirm that there is a mine underground, but what kind of ore and the size of the vein cannot be determined.

Even in some special places, such as Tianzhu Mountain, this detection talisman is useless.

If there is a large piece of first-level ore deep in the earth, it may also affect the accuracy of the talisman.

A second-level mid-grade detection talisman finally dug up a piece of first-grade low-grade iron ore, which would cost you your pants.

But no matter how useless the talisman is, it has its place.

Shen Lian used it.

For fear of touching the third-level magic weapon earth ball, Shen Lian did not dare to release all his spiritual thoughts into the mineral veins.

In addition, he did not dare to put the spirit puppet in alone. Once the earth ball re-energized the formation, his spiritual thoughts would inevitably collide with the formation's restrictions.

It is easy to be noticed by others, and it is possible to trap the earth spirit puppet inside.

As for the real person breaking in directly...

What were you doing just now?
Isn't it just to check whether it is safe for real people to go in?

After finding a cave to stay in in the wilderness, Shen Lian took out the detection talisman he had just used and swept his mind inside.

Ghosting, blurring, all snowflakes.

This scene is so familiar.

The power of the rules of heaven and earth cannot be discerned by small talismans. Shen Lian carefully sensed the blurry scene.

After repeated confirmation, the talismans were full of scenes affected by the rules, proving that this vein of minerals had not been mined.

Once you have a foundation in your heart, you will have a good idea when you run further.

Three days later, Shen Lian returned to the outside of the magic earth ball, surrounded by arrays of forbidden formations that were constantly changing with crystal light.

But while he was in the restriction, he did not touch any of the restrictions, and stood cleverly in the gaps between the restrictions.

When the khaki light on the earth ball dissipated, Shen Lian dived in.

It was really silky smooth and went in right away.

After rushing into the mineral vein, my spiritual thoughts felt greatly restricted. It was not a matter of being suppressed, but that my spiritual thoughts were no longer so clear after being released.

This situation is at least dozens of times more serious than the previous perception of other mineral veins.

Embedded in the cloud crystal in front of him was a white, translucent cave sky stone the size of a grain of rice.

The cloud crystal stone embedded with cave stone exudes a faint glow.

Shen Lian didn't dare to release the spirit puppet. It would be troublesome if contact was lost.

After some inspection, he determined the size of the dolomite vein. The main body was running north-south, and there were more than a dozen branches of different sizes on both sides.

The overall length is about fifteen miles.

It's like a crystal clear stone dragon embedded deep in the earth.

In the veins of dolomite, there are scattered cave stones the size of rice grains.

These cave stones were unevenly distributed. Shen Lian was not in a hurry to pry them down. He wanted to see if there were any larger cave stones.

However, he jumped up and down in the veins, moving like a monkey, and did not find any cave stones larger than the size of a grain of rice.The figure was embedded outside the cloud crystal mine, and Shen Lian frowned slightly.

He began to carefully read through the inheritance of the weapon refiner and the formation master. Currently, both inheritances have reached the third level of low-grade.

In the inheritance, there is a way to create a storage ring, but there are no other uses for the cave stone.

Shen Lian guessed that the reason was that the inheritance level was too low.

The number of cave stones present in this vein exceeds [-].

One cave stone can create a storage ring, and the cave stones in this vein alone can create more than 2 storage rings.

It is said that Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce controls many mineral veins, and the number of cave stones is absolutely beyond imagination.

Is it possible that the Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce has a monopoly on Dongtian Stone for this reason?

Shen Lian scratched his head. The influence of the mineral veins here on spiritual thoughts was dozens of times stronger than the third-level mineral veins he sensed in Red Crystal Mining City.

This also further proves that cave stone is precious and should not only be used as a storage ring.

According to his expectations, he would need to find a cave stone at least the size of a fist in order to open up a stable cave.

Now it seems that we can only use the method of smelting ore to see if it works.

After calming down, Shen Lian began to collect the cave stones. He didn't directly pull the cave stones from the cloud crystal mine.

Needless to say, when people come to mine, looking at the holes, even a fool will know that someone has stolen in.

After looking around, Shen Lian came to the underground of the mineral vein, took out a magical sword in the trophy, and slashed it towards the branch outside the mineral vein.

The branches are free from the main vein and are less conspicuous after being cut off.

However, after Shen Lian made some selections, he found that there were only more than 2000 cave stones collected together.

This amount is completely insufficient.

But if the mining continues, the main body of the dolomite vein will be touched.

Just as Shen Lian was scratching his head and wondering whether to continue, a restriction suddenly lit up not far away.

There was also movement coming from the other side of the restriction.

"Sapphire vein?"

After some inspection, he discovered that the sapphire vein extending from the sapphire mining city just spread under the domestone vein.

The miners who were mining sapphire ore opposite had already dug under the cloud crystal stone.

……

three days later.

"Buzz!"

At the junction of the sapphire vein and the cloud crystal stone vein, the forbidden position of the formation was touched.

Shen Lian took advantage of the pause of the earth ball magic weapon's nine breaths to lightly touch the formation.

It's not that the formation is torn apart directly.

Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to wear away the strength of this formation restriction and speed up the process of the formation's restriction breaking down.

In this case, if someone in the mine opposite touches the formation restriction and suddenly opens up the cloud crystal stone veins and sapphire veins, the traces of him stealing the sky stone will be greatly reduced.

After doing all this, Shen Lian waited for another three days, dug out more than half of the cave stone embedded in the cloud crystal veins in one breath, and then drilled it out after the magic earth ball stagnated.

Weakening the restriction formation is only the first step. The next step is to destroy the traces entering the mineral veins.

Escaping from Qianqiufang City from under the earth, Shen Lian headed towards the Sapphire Mining City without stopping.

……

One month later, inside the sapphire vein mine.

Deep in the earth, the miners coming and going were waving special instruments and knocking down pieces of sapphire ore.

"Damn, be careful. I told you this is a mine. Don't cause trouble for me again."

Deep in the mine, in a remote place, the smell of blood is still lingering.

The low voice was full of warning.

"Senior brother, you are too careful. Who would have thought that you and I are hiding here."

A nonchalant voice sounded, while speaking, he did not stop drawing blood.

Compared with refining spirit stones, for demon cultivators, after getting a little blood, the speed and excitement of cultivation will be greatly increased.

After hiding in the mine for so long, how could I suppress my violent thoughts.

"To shut up!"

Qi Yousan's face was gloomy and he didn't pay attention to the words of the figure next to him. Instead, he said gloomily, "If I find you as a refining miner again, I will kill you first."

"Also, clean up the bloody smell here as soon as possible. Do you think we are the only two demon cultivators in this mine?"

"Hey……"

Luo Hao lowered his head and flashed a hint of ferocity, but when he raised his head, he had already restrained himself.

"Listen to brother."

"Junior brother, it's not that senior brother is afraid of things. Now Master's life and death are uncertain. If you and I are not careful, we may be picked on."

"Wait a minute, I believe that damn old demon Yuan Ling won't be rampant for long."

"Not to mention far away, among the ancestors of the demonic path who have practiced in Tianzhu Mountain for thousands of years, if they are so crazy about hunting people of the same level, none of them will die violently."

"When this bloodthirsty old devil dies, we can go out to find the master's whereabouts. I hope the master can survive from the old devil's hands."

While talking, Qi Yousan reached out and patted his junior brother on the shoulder.

clap clap clap!
"Junior brother, at this time, we two brothers have to work together to help each other. Don't you want the golden elixir stage skills in Master's hands?"

"Then when..."

Junior Brother Luo Hao just opened his mouth, but found that his body stiffened suddenly.

"you……"

"Junior brother, senior brother will send you on your way."

A gloomy voice sounded, Qi Yousan's expression changed, and his big hand moved toward Luo Hao's chest.

"boom!"

However, a dense mass of demonic energy exploded, the surrounding mines roared, and large swaths of rocks collapsed.

"My good senior brother, you actually want to show your heart to your junior brother."

A sharp sound rang out in the mine. Luo Hao knocked away the falling rocks and ran wildly regardless of the direction.

Qi Yousan, who was blown away by the demonic energy, suppressed the demonic energy surging in his body and chased after him.

In this way, the two brothers fought all the way in the mine. The demonic energy burst out through the mine and broke through the restriction above.

"Boom!"

In an instant, under the impact of the violent demonic energy, a large hole opened in the formation guarding the Cave Sky Stone vein.

The rolled up energy began to spread, and soon gathered below Qianqiu Tower like a huge wave.

"not good!"

Hong Le, who was sitting in the building, was taking a nap with the maids when he was suddenly awakened.

ps: Sorry for the late update. I went to the hospital and came back a little late today. Plus, I was not very clued up when I was coding and was a little stuck.

Yesterday, I mentioned it in Writer's Talk, but many book friends didn't see it. During this period, the author's wife needs to undergo a minor surgery, so the updates will fluctuate.

I'm sorry everyone.

In addition, the writer of Chapter 146 said that there was an error in the protagonist data marked in it, so he reattached it at the end.

　[Shen Lian: Nine levels of foundation building]

　　【五行灵根：火100土100金31水31木31】

　　[Supernatural power: Tianyan Fire Realm, Tianyan Earth Realm]

　　[Spiritual Thought: Three Thousand 860 Zhang]

　　[Item Refining: Third level low-grade (112/70000) cannot be broken through]

　　[Formation: Third level low-grade (811/70000) cannot be broken through]

　　[Alchemist: Second level middle grade (1011/20000) cannot be broken through]

　　[talisman master: second-level high-grade (3214/50000) cannot be broken through]

　　[Puppet: Second-tier low-grade (1124/20000) cannot be broken through]

　　[Familiar Beast: The second-tier low-grade (4123/20000) cannot be broken through]

　　In Chapter 146, a book friend mentioned that there are two formations, one is the third level and the other is the second level high level. I then simply and rudely deleted the second level high level formation. Only today did I discover the location of the first level three formation. It should be a weapon refining.
