When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 149 Nanminglihuo, a treasure of heaven and earth! Dan Guoqing City

After Li Xinlong cried out, Gongsun Sihua and other elders present confirmed this fact.

It can indeed be seen from the map's shadow that the locations of several recent wars in the mortal kingdom look particularly like some kind of formation when connected together.

Because of the death of his wife, Li Xinlong has been studying restraint techniques for many years, and the restraint techniques used in making instruments are similar to formation techniques to some extent. By analogy, Li Xinlong is also a master of formation techniques among ten thousand sects.

At this time, he had confirmed that the battle location looked like some kind of formation, so it was basically certain that this was the case.

Li Fan also looked at the connected locations in the sky.

After Li Fan heard Lin Xuxian mention the blood sacrifice, he suddenly had an idea and an inspiration.

Li Fan learned from the Leng family exploration map given by Leng Yueyun that there were four immortal tomb formations in the Tianyuan world to suppress the origin. Because he knew this news, Li Fan had an open mind, heard some clues, and immediately thought of the Moyuan Sect. I'm afraid they are also building such a large formation, right?

After thinking about it, Li Fan went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to confirm this matter.

He connected the places where recent troubles occurred in the mortal realm, and the result was the situation in front of him now.

The Demon Abyss Sect may have secretly controlled the war among mortals, and secretly constructed a huge formation.

"Elder Li, can you confirm what kind of formation this is?" Gongsun Sihua asked.

After Li Xinlong observed it carefully for a while, he shook his head slightly and said, "I can't tell."

"I can confirm that this is some kind of formation. I only speak from experience. Everyone knows some formations and knows that the formation is divided into two parts: internal and external."

"The inner formation focuses on the construction of runes, allowing spiritual power or the aura of heaven and earth to penetrate it. It belongs to the inside. As for the external part, it is sealed in the formation plate, and then the formation plate is arranged in a certain direction to form A set of formations.”

"I can see now that these war locations combined are the directions of a certain formation. But if you want to determine what formation it is, you need to carefully observe the runes of the formation, and I haven't seen those runes now. , so it’s impossible to determine what it is.”

"I can only rely on experience to judge that this is some kind of blood sacrifice formation, and it looks very evil."

After listening to Li Xinlong's words, everyone present couldn't help but start thinking.

Gongsun Sihua pondered for a moment and looked at Li Fan.

"Li Fan, what do you think of this discovery?" Gongsun Sihua asked.

Li Fan already had a point of view in his mind. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "I think this matter can be related to the Cangshanping Blood Sacrifice and the sudden change in Yunhe River Valley's attitude."

"Yunhe River Valley has always only wanted profits, but this time it has cooperated deeply with Moyuan Sect. There must be some motivation that drove them to do this."

"Although I don't know the details, I think that when I met Yan Yan, the Jindan elder of Moyuan Sect, in Yunhe River Valley, he may have appeared there for blood sacrifice rather than to seize mineral resources."

"The Cangshanping location can also occupy a position in the blood sacrifice formation."

"The Moyuan Sect's final plot may be related to this huge formation."

After a pause, Li Fan continued: "Elder Li said just now that he didn't know the specific details contained in the blood sacrifice formation. In fact, we can send people to these places to investigate in detail and make copies of the records. I have a guess. Even in a place where a lot of people died in mortal wars, are blood sacrifice formations secretly arranged, echoing those of Cangshanping and other places?"

"Everything you walk through will leave traces. I think that no matter what conspiracy or conspiracy the Moyuan Sect has, they will leave some clues."

"When all the clues are found, I think the elders will have a more accurate judgment."

Gongsun Sihua looked at Li Fan with admiration.

"Okay, what you said makes sense."

"Li Fan, the sect is currently short of manpower, especially people who can take charge of the job on their own. I think you have done a good job in all aspects. Are you willing to take on the next task and be responsible for investigating this matter?"

"The sect will naturally not let you do it alone. You can select some familiar disciples within the sect, no more than five people, to investigate what the Moyuan Sect wants to do."

"Of course, I won't send you in vain."

When Gongsun Sihua said this, he paused for a moment and said: "I know that the method you practice is the Danyang Taiqing Jade Palace Sutra. You have now reached the late stage of foundation building, and you should still lack two kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. They are Purple Yang Wood and Nan Mingli Fire.”

"I don't have Purple Sun Wood, but I can find a copy of Nanming Lihuo."

"If you complete this investigation, then I will give you a copy of Nanminglihuo to help you practice. What do you think?"

Li Fan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.

His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, especially after awakening his bloodline, his cultivation speed was much faster than before.

If this continues, it won't be long before Li Fan is closed in the later stage of foundation building.

"I am willing to share the sect's worries and investigate this matter thoroughly." Li Fan responded.

Gongsun Sihua nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

As he said that, Gongsun Sihua took out a jade slip, and quickly etched it with his spiritual consciousness, and it took shape in a short time.

"You take this object as a token and gather a team within the sect to investigate the matter. It is also used as a daily record. Enter what you see and the investigation results into it, and it will be used as a reference for the elders in the sect to make decisions."

Gongsun Sihua pushed the jade slip forward, and the object floated to Li Fan.

Li Fan took it.

"I will definitely live up to the sect's expectations." Li Fan said.

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Yi Chaosheng, then turned and left the meeting hall.

After Li Fan left, Li Xinlong looked at his back with some emotion.

"Li Fan is growing very fast. If this thing is done, we can see his ability, and there may be the possibility of further progress in the future." Li Xinlong said.

After speaking, Li Xinlong looked at Yi Chaosheng.

Yi Chaosheng was also quite emotional.

"If Li Fan's realm is stronger, such as breaking through the foundation building stage and entering the golden elixir realm, maybe he can compete for the position of Daozi." Such an idea suddenly appeared in Yi Chaosheng's mind.

Li Fan walked out of the meeting hall and began to think about who he could find to complete this matter with him.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Fan decided to find someone familiar.

Luo Caicai, Lin Xuxian, Lu Yudan, Leng Yueyun and Hu Feng can all be found.

Investigating the real plot of Mo Yuan Sect is not actually difficult or dangerous, but the amount of work that needs to be done is too great.

The battlefield in the Mortal Realm is still very large. To find some clues, manpower is needed to spread it out. Li Fan alone is too slow, so he still needs help.

"Let's see who among them is in the sect."

"I still have some Xuanyuan Pills, Jade Void Pills and other items with me. With my good deeds, it will not be difficult to organize people to investigate. The resources on hand are enough to pay them as rewards. Let's first see who is in the sect."

Li Fan thought.

For a sect mission like this, Li Fan's income is the Nanming Lihuo promised by Gongsun Sihua. To obtain this thing and organize manpower, Li Fan needs to devote a certain amount of resources himself.

Fortunately, Li Fan is not short of people or money.

After Li Fan sorted out his thoughts, Yu Jian took to the air and went to look for help.

...

Two months later.

Danguo, Qingcheng in the southeast of Wufeng Mountains. Qingcheng is a very prosperous place in Dan State. It is located in the southeast of Dan State. It is a basin with a mild climate and rich agricultural products. It also produces silk, silk and brocade. The quality is second to none in Dan State. Li Fan was in When I was in Lijiazhuang, I had heard of Qingcheng brocade, which was famous far and wide.

However, this was in relatively peaceful times.

The location of Qingcheng is the key point. It is the gateway for Lingshu State to enter the southeast of Dan State. Lingshu and Dan State raised weapons. Lingshu made a surprise attack, crossed the Wufeng Mountains and attacked Qingcheng.

Moreover, Wu Yue, the general of Lingshu State who led the army, went crazy for some reason. After capturing Qingcheng, he ordered the massacre of the city.

There were more than 800,000 civilians in Qingcheng. Some of them escaped when the Lingshu Army attacked the city. The remaining civilians died in the massacre, which was extremely miserable.

After Lingshu captured Qingcheng, he plundered it, and then abandoned the place, as if he came here just to kill people.

It's just that Qingcheng is full of bones, rotting corpses, and a plague has emerged.

Nowadays, this big city with nearly a million people has become a restricted area for life.

This day.

evening.

The evening breeze on a summer night should be quite gentle and pleasant.

But now, in the streets of Qingcheng, the evening breeze carries a faint fishy smell, which is somewhat like the smell of a fish restaurant, making people cover their noses.

In Qing City, you can still see dead bones and rotting corpses everywhere. Occasionally, wild dogs run by, and they are all emaciated. It looks like a doomsday scene.

Qingcheng garrison.

Qingcheng's garrison mansion is a three-story building located in the core area of ​​Qingcheng. On weekdays, the Qingcheng garrison works here.

At this time, there was no one in the garrison mansion, but on the roof of the three-story building, a monk in purple robes was standing here, looking around Qingcheng.

This person is Li Fan.

The evening breeze blew on Li Fan's face, feeling slightly warm.

But Li Fan's expression was quite serious.

Looking at the dilapidated Qingcheng below and smelling the aura of decay, Li Fan sighed lightly.

At this time, a sword light lit up not far away, and a white flying sword flew in the air, making a sword dance trajectory.

When Li Fan saw it, he immediately controlled the Purple Jue Sword and flew over with the sword.

Not long after, he came to where the white flying sword was flying.

It was a place in the south of the city where officials originally lived. It was a large house. In the house, there was a huge rockery. At this time, the rockery was removed, revealing that there was a tunnel underneath that could accommodate ten people at the same time. Secret passage in and out.

Leng Yueyun is here.

After Li Fan fell, Leng Yueyun took a step forward and said, "Senior Brother Li, this place is the same as the several places we explored before. Below the city, we found the location of the blood sacrifice formation."

Li Fan nodded.

Since Li Fan accepted the task of investigating what Mo Yuan Sect did in his sect, he invited Lin Xuxian, Lu Yudan, and Leng Yueyun to investigate the matter together.

In fact, Li Fan still wanted to find Luo Caicai, but Luo Qing made other arrangements for the latter.

After two months of investigation, Li Fan and others have become familiar with the situation.

In the secret places of those mortal battlefields, if you search carefully, you can find traces of blood sacrifices.

The runes used in the Blood Sacrifice Formation are very rare, and they seem to have real meaning when combined together.

Li Fan's investigation was to record in detail and find some clues from the blood sacrifice formations left by the Moyuan Sect.

Li Fan retracted his thoughts and stepped into the secret passage under the rockery.

The secret passage is very spacious. It was not built by rich men to hide gold and silver treasures and avoid war disasters, but was a military passage with an overall plan.

There is also good air circulation inside, and it looks like there are good vents.

After Li Fan walked in, he moved forward until he reached a core area inside.

Lin Xuxian and Lu Yudan are already here.

Li Fan looked at this place and frowned deeply.

The core area in the secret passage of the hidden soldiers is an underground venue that can accommodate about a thousand people. It is now covered with bloody runes.

Li Fan seemed to be very similar to the blood sacrifice runes seen in Cangshanping.

Lin Xuxian saw it was Li Fan and said, "Brother Li, there are such blood sacrifice runes just like the places we went to before. This should be the fifth place."

"In the entire Qingcheng above, I guess that after the massacre of the city, the grievances and blood of the hundreds of thousands of people who died were collected and gathered here. However, the blood sacrifice runes here are the same as elsewhere, they are effective immediately. After the blood sacrifice, a certain ritual has been completed, and the blood sacrifice formation itself is no longer important, it just stays here."

Li Fan sighed softly.

"Record the runes here." Li Fan said.

In several locations that Li Fan had previously explored, he had also found such secret formations of blood sacrifices, which were also filled with recording runes.

The sect has Elder Li, a master who studies restrictions and formations. After Li Fan collected these blood sacrifice runes here, he brought them back to the sect, and Li Xinlong deduced their effects to see what the Moyuan Sect's plan was.

Once the reverse deduction is completed, Li Fan has completed the task assigned to him by the sect.

Lin Xuxian and others were also familiar with this kind of operation, and immediately used their techniques to start replicating the blood sacrifice runes here.

Li Fan raised his head and looked upward, as if he wanted to see the scene in Qing City through the tunnel's layers.

During his investigation, he really felt that the people in troubled times were really miserable.

I would rather be a dog in a prosperous age than a person in troubled times. It was a bit exaggerated to say it, but after seeing the miserable people, Li Fan felt that there was not much difference between his words.

Even Li Fan himself, if he had not embarked on the path of cultivating immortals back then, he might have turned into withered bones in the chaos of soldiers and bandits just like Li Family Village.

Li Fan shook his head.

He entered Wandao Sect before just for the resources for cultivating immortals, and did not realize the importance of Wandao Sect, the leader of the upright community in Southeast Tianyuan's cultivating immortals.

Now, Li Fan's understanding is much deeper.

Normally, the Righteous Sect can't be seen to be any different from other sects, but during the troubled times, it was discovered that the Righteous Sect upholds the principle of order and provides peace and order to the surroundings.

Under order, although it cannot be said to be perfect, it is at least much better than chaos.

Li Fan's sense of identity as a disciple of the Righteous Sect has become stronger.

While he was thinking, Li Fan suddenly felt a warning sign.

Li Fan intuitively felt that there was a slight sense of danger passing over Qingcheng.

"Enemy attack?" A cold light suddenly flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
