The Record of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 36 Hidden Mysteries
In the next few days, Xu Yuxiu lived very peacefully.

During the day, Zhang Yuanyuan took her to go out for investigation.

They rushed back at dusk, and continued to study the array at night.

As she studied the battle map in depth, she could clearly feel that her understanding of the intermediate formations was deepening and strengthening at an extremely fast speed.

This made Xu Yuxiu feel a little curious.

Could it be that this array map is some kind of treasure?
This conjecture did not last long before she rejected it.

Because through in-depth research in the past few days, she has already seen some problems in the array diagram.

In the room, Xu Yuxiu spread out the map of the golden gate lock stone formation on the table.

Her gaze was fixed on one part of the formation, and her brows were slightly frowned.

"The patterns here, how come the more you look at it, the more redundant it becomes."

She was a little unsure, so she immediately took out the "Commentary on Formation", then a piece of white paper and a pen, and began to verify it.

Finally, after some verification with frowning and thinking.

Only then did Xu Yuxiu relax her brows, and there was a clear look in her eyes.

She put down her pen and said to herself: "The five formation patterns here don't exist in the Golden Gate Lock Stone Formation at all!"

Immediately, she was a little puzzled: "Since these five formation patterns should not exist here, why are these five formation patterns in the formation diagram? A test?"

She couldn't figure it out, but her intuition told her that there must be a mystery hidden in it.

It's just that with her ability, she still can't fully see the mystery hidden in it.

The next day.

Xu Yuxiu and Zhang Yuanyuan climbed to the top of a mountain.

Looking from top to bottom, you can see most of the Zhang family at a glance.

Suddenly, Xu Yuxiu's eyes moved slightly, she raised her hand and pointed to a place, asking: "Senior sister, where is that place?"

Zhang Yuanyuan looked at the place she pointed, and said, "There is a deep pool there, which is the source of the stream down the mountain."

Hearing this, Xu Yuxiu had a flash of light in his mind, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Seeing her appearance, Zhang Yuanyuan couldn't help asking: "Junior Sister Xu, is there any problem?"

Xu Yuxiu shook her head, did not answer, but asked: "Senior Sister, can I go there and have a look?"

"Of course, you can check around Zhang's house."

After finishing speaking, the two walked towards the place where the deep pool was.

After a while, the two came to the place where the deep pool was.

Xu Yuxiu saw a mouth of the pond which was about three feet square.

Just standing here, you can feel a refreshing breath.

If you look closer, you can see that the water in the pool is so clear that you can see the bottom at a glance.

But as the line of sight goes down, you can only see a dark area, and you can't see the bottom of the deep pool.

Xu Yuxiu watched for a while, and unconsciously a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

She felt that the bottom of the pool was like a bottomless black hole, as if one could fall into it without paying attention and be swallowed by it.

After only looking at it for a moment, she withdrew her gaze.

"Junior sister Xu, did you see anything?" Zhang Yuanyuan asked immediately when she saw her look away.

Xu Yuxiu's face showed a trace of solemnity: "There is something weird here!"

"eccentric?"

Zhang Yuanyuan showed doubts, "Then do you want me to go down and have a look?"

She is at the eighth level of Qi refining, and with her own cultivation, it is no problem to enter a deep pool.

Xu Yuxiu shook her head, "I feel that the bottom of the pool is very dangerous, it's better not to go down to explore it yourself, senior sister, just use your spiritual sense to explore it."

Consciousness exploration.

Zhang Yuanyuan also understood why Xu Yuxiu said this.

After all, in her opinion, Xu Yuxiu was only at the fourth level of Qi training, so his spiritual consciousness was naturally inferior to hers. Using spiritual consciousness to detect could avoid great dangers.

She nodded, and immediately released her spiritual consciousness and plunged into the deep pool.

Xu Yuxiu watched from the side and secretly pinched a talisman in his hand.

Not long after, Zhang Yuanyuan shivered suddenly and withdrew his consciousness.

"Senior sister, did you detect anything?" Xu Yuxiu asked immediately.

Zhang Yuanyuan slowed down for a while, then shook her head, and replied, "No, the water in the pool gets colder as it goes down. My spiritual consciousness can't stand it after it's only thirty feet deep."

Thirty feet?
A monk at the eighth level of Qi Refining can release more than 40 feet of spiritual consciousness at least.

Xu Yuxiu didn't expect that the deep pool was deeper than he expected.

In this way, it is impossible to check clearly.

Zhang Yuanyuan was also thankful at this time, and didn't go down directly in person recklessly.

She felt that if she went deep into the position where the spiritual sense was probing, even the spiritual power in her body would be slowed down.

In that case, she herself would be in danger.

What is in this deep pool?
Such doubts filled Zhang Yuanyuan's heart.

Xu Yuxiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Senior sister, let's stop here today, I have some doubts and want to deduce and verify it on the formation map."

"OK then."

Immediately, the two of them stopped staying and went straight down the mountain back to the Zhang family's main house.

Just after the two left.

The water in the deep pool was surging, as if something was about to rush out.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, raised his hand and typed out a few formulas, which were printed in the pool.

After a while, the surging water in the pool gradually subsided.

"I almost let you out, maybe because I felt your daughter's breath!"

The man's eyes were cold and his tone was cold, "I didn't expect that little girl to be so sensitive, and she discovered the strangeness here so quickly, it seems that I have to act soon!"

After all, the figure disappeared, and the poolside returned to calm.

Back at the attic, Xu Yuxiu didn't rest, and immediately took out the array and spread it out.

Then he also took out the compass, and at the same time took out the topographical map observed and drawn in the past few days, and began to deduce the entire array according to the topographical map.

With the injection of spiritual power, lines lit up on the compass.

During the flow of lines, following a certain special law, different instructions appear.

Xu Yuxiu picked up his pen and began to outline the formation nodes on the terrain map.

Although we haven't surveyed all the terrain yet, there's no other way to go now.

Only in this way can she verify her suspicions.

This deduction took her a whole day and night.

It didn't end until noon on the second day.

Just as she put down the pen, a strong sense of dizziness came to her mind.

Xu Yuxiu felt a blur in front of her eyes, and almost lost her balance and fell.

Just at this moment, a jade arm stretched out to support her, preventing her from falling.

"Junior sister Xu, how are you?"

Zhang Yuanyuan's urgent voice came.

Xu Yuxiu looked up and saw an anxious look on her face, and shook her head, "Senior sister, why are you here?"

"I didn't see you all this morning, so I came here by myself. I saw you were deducing the formation, so I didn't bother you."

Zhang Yuanyuan explained briefly, and then showed concern, "These are not important, your current body is the most important thing!"

"I'm fine. It's just that the deduction of the formation consumes too much energy. It won't be a big problem if I take a rest."

Xu Yuxiu said weakly.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will help you go to bed, and you can have a good rest these days."

Xu Yuxiu nodded.

Zhang Yuanyuan helped her onto the bed and lay down.

At this moment, Uncle Fu came to the attic and said, "Miss, the head of the family has returned with a message."

"what!"

When Zhang Yuanyuan heard this, her face suddenly showed joy, but immediately after seeing Xu Yuxiu, she seemed a little hesitant.

"Senior sister, go and do your business."

Zhang Yuanyuan hesitated for a while, but finally nodded, "Junior sister, you have to take care of yourself. I will come see you later."

After that, she followed Fu Bo and left the attic.
