While eating melons and cultivating immortality, I felt soft after picking up the magic weapon.

Chapter 53 Summary
The first is spiritual power. Her cultivation is only at the third level of Qi Refining, and she has very little spiritual power stored in her body.

If she hadn't used another method later to kill the swamp monster when her spiritual power was about to run out, her spiritual power would not have been enough to keep fighting the swamp monster with a machete.

The second is experience.

This was her first real battle, and she was very inexperienced, but she fought Swamp Monster just for experience.

As long as she carefully takes on several similar missions in the future, her experience will naturally increase as she fights more.

Secondly, there is the part that she is very lacking in, and it is also the part that she must pay attention to.

This time she went to Xiaoxi Village, but she was not fully prepared. Her preparations were still too rough.

When she learned that the swamp monster was a toad, the first thing she had to do was not go to the swamp, but go back to Fang City to check out the weaknesses of the swamp monster and the Yin-Yang Grass and what she needed to pay attention to.

If she had checked in detail, she wouldn't have been so close to the Yin-Yang Grass that she fell into the hallucinations of the Yin-Yang Grass.

However, she was in a hurry this time, so there was nothing she could do about not being able to give details.

Another thing that caught her attention the most this time was her physique.

During the battle, Swamp Monster splashed corrosive sludge everywhere, causing some damage to her body and affecting her movements. If she had good health, this bit of corrosion would be nothing at all.

After she killed the swamp monster, she almost lost all her strength and fell to the ground. If it were not Lan Xiu but someone with ulterior motives, she would have been in great danger.

So she must pay attention to her physical fitness.

Regarding physical strength, there should be relatively basic body-training techniques in the market. After she sells the narcissus, she can go see if she can buy a body-training technique.

She also needs to pay attention to exercise herself to avoid losing strength and falling into a state of being slaughtered after the battle.

Qu Xinyou summarized for a long time, and after reviewing and summarizing all the points that needed attention, he slowly exhaled and began to practice.

Three days passed by in a flash.

During the past three days, neither Yun Wei nor Yuan Yuan came to find her, leaving her to practice quietly for three days.

Qu Xinyou came to Luoyan Hall.

From a distance, she saw Chen Meirong waving to her, and she walked over.

"Junior sister Qu, just go to the inner sect directly. The inner sect brother is wearing the clothes of an inner sect disciple and has a green jade pendant around his waist."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Chen."

Leaving Luoyan Hall, Qu Xinyou headed to the inner gate.

At the inner gate, I saw the inner disciple with a green jade pendant around his waist.

He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking deeply about something, frowning slightly.

Qu Xinyou walked over.

"Senior brother, I am the disciple who has accepted the task of testing the formation."

The man came to his senses and raised his head to glance at her.

"You were the one who tested the formation? I remember Junior Sister Chen said what was your name..."

"Qu Xinyou."

"Yes, Junior Sister Qu, come with me."

On the way, Qu Xinyou understood the basic situation.

This person's name is Yuan Zhengfei, a fourth-class disciple of Jiuri Peak, and is currently preparing to advance to the third-class disciple.

There are some differences between the advancement of Jiuri Peak and the Rushuang Peak of alchemy.

In addition to cultivation, formation master level and contribution to the peak, there is one more thing, which is to study a new formation within the level.

Of course, this new formation does not have to be completely new, it just requires some minor innovations in a certain formation.

After all, Dao Zun Mingchen was once a first-grade formation mage. He not only improved many formations, but even created new formations.

It was also to pay tribute to him, so the Jiuri Peak Formation disciples had such a request. The cultivation level required for a fifth-level disciple to advance to the fourth level is at the tenth level of Qi Refining, the formation master level must reach the eighth level, and the new formations studied must also be the eighth-level formations.

The cultivation level required for a fourth-level disciple to advance to the third level is at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. The formation master also needs to reach the seventh level. The new formation to be studied must naturally be the seventh-level formation.

Yuan Zhengfei's cultivation, formation master level and contribution are all sufficient, and he is only missing seven levels of new formations.

He has already researched it, but he doesn't know the effect. Although his formation is at the seventh level, it is only effective for those below the sixth level of Qi Refining.

That's why he issued this mission at the outer gate.

"But don't worry, I'll be watching from outside at all times. You may get hurt a little, but it won't be life-threatening."

[That’s not necessarily true. What if you are really in danger? You are responsible! 】

Qu Xinyou thought so too.

Hearing what Yuan Zhengfei said, he asked: "Then can I know what kind of formation Senior Brother Yuan's formation is."

Yuan Zhengfei was not too wary of the outer disciples.

After all, it is difficult for the outer disciples to even have the resources for daily cultivation, and they cannot even touch the alchemy arrays and talismans without any wealth.

Even if she told Qu Xinyou, she probably wouldn't understand.

"It's just an attack formation. I named it Crane Wing Formation. The attack intensity goes from low to high, from the first level of Qi Refining to the sixth level of Qi Refining."

"Crane Wing Formation?" Qu Xinyou's eyes flashed slightly.

Is it the Crane Wing Formation she was thinking of?

Unexpectedly, before she asked, Yuan Zhengfei said proudly:

"I once saw this formation in a book. It was thought up by mortals. Mortals have no spiritual roots and cannot take care of all aspects, so a general is needed. The general gives orders and fights by changing the team.

But we monks have spiritual roots, so we don’t have to go to such trouble as them. However, these formations they came up with have some merits, so I borrowed one of them. "

Originally this was a very basic attack formation.

After entering the formation, the phantoms within the formation will attack from all directions until the person entering the formation dies or breaks the formation.

But this formation seems to be invincible, but it only has attacks and no defense, so the formation can be broken easily.

He used the Crane Wing Formation to make up for the lack of defense.

This formation is both offensive and defensive, and he believes it will definitely bring the strength of the formation to another level!
This formation is the key to his advancement into a third-class disciple. He attaches great importance to it, so he comes to pick him up.

"When you go in later, remember to take a good test, okay?"

He took another look at Qu Xinyou's cultivation and found that Qu Xinyou was only at the third level of Qi Refining.

Sighed.

Forget it, try it first, if it doesn’t work, then change it.

He originally wanted Chen Meirong to find him a disciple at the sixth or fifth level of Qi refining, but he forgot to mention it.

"If you can't hold on anymore, you can call me anytime."

Qu Xinyou nodded: "I understand."

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the foot of Jiuri Peak.

Compared to the tight guards at Rushuang Peak, there are no guards at the foot of Jiuri Peak, and even few people are seen.

[Hey, are the guards at Jiuri Peak so relaxed? It stands to reason that Jiuri Peak was once the main peak where Taoist Master Mingchen lived, and his inheritance might still be hidden there. Shouldn't it be even more strict than Frost Peak? 】

Qu Xinyou was also a little confused about this.

But after Shangfeng took two steps, she completely understood the reason.
