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

In that story, the Crane Wing Formation was described in quite detail.

Especially the hero of the story is the general who gave the orders.

Qu Xinyou looked at the Scorpion Queen in the middle and rear from afar, thinking it was the general, and these sand scorpions were the soldiers.

As she rushed over, she was thinking quickly in her mind.

She was not far away from the entire Sand Scorpion army, only a few dozen steps away, and she could reach them in a few breaths of running at full speed.

The sand scorpion army was also surrounding her on both sides.

Qu Xinyou did not use the Light Body Talisman or the Acceleration Talisman. Although the army was huge, it took time from the time the Scorpion Queen gave the order to the time the army received the order to modify the formation.

And she was alone. Her cultivation was at the third level of Qi Refining. The two combined were much faster than the Sand Scorpion.

The attack method of the Crane Wing Formation is to attack after encirclement, so she needs to avoid the powerful encirclement offensive and attack its center or flanks.

Qu Xinyou ran towards both sides of the flanks. When he was about to arrive, he took out the machete from the Lingyu space and slashed at the sand scorpions on the flanks!
A tear was torn open in the flank in an instant.

But Sand Scorpion reacted very quickly and filled the gap in time.

Qu Xinyou was not in a hurry, and slashed several times with the machete in his hand. The sand scorpions located in other positions continued to fill in the gaps.

Soon, there were far fewer sand scorpions visible to the naked eye.

He slashed with his sword again.

This time Sand Scorpion filled the gap a little slower, giving her time.

She slipped directly through the opening until she reached the center and rear where the Scorpion Queen was.

After entering the scorpion group, the Scorpion Queen also gave orders to surround her and attack.

She ran towards the Scorpion Queen.

If she entered the formation directly from the front, the long and narrow encirclement would be enough to consume most of her physical strength.

So coming from the flank is the best option.

This was also a response she had simulated thousands of times in her mind.

Of course, if she had available soldiers, she would not take this approach.

If she had soldiers, she would attack the weaker and more open rear.

After cutting the Scorpion Queen in half, the surrounding sand scorpion army disappeared.

At this time, Qu Xinyou's spiritual power had been consumed by nearly 30%.

She immediately sat cross-legged and meditated to restore her spiritual power.

The speed of restoring spiritual power through the Life Transformation Technique was twice as fast as before, so when Sand Scorpion appeared again, she had already recovered nearly 90% of her spiritual power.

The sand scorpion army that appeared this time was from the second level of Qi Refining.

Using the same method as before, he won easily, but it consumed more spiritual energy than before.

When Sand Scorpion, who was on the third level of Qi Refining, appeared, she had only recovered to 70% of her spiritual power.

A sand scorpion with the same cultivation level as her.

But a single sand scorpion is nothing to fear, and their strength is not very high.

With previous experience in dealing with swamp monsters, Qu Xinyou finally won with difficulty this time before her spiritual power was almost exhausted.

The next person you will face is the Sand Scorpion on the fourth level of Qi Refining.

She gasped, stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and crushed the transmission talisman.

"Senior Brother Yuan, my spiritual power is exhausted, can I come out?"

Yuan Zhengfei's voice came: "Okay."

Not long after, Qu Xinyou came out of the formation.

Yuan Zhengfei was a little surprised to see that Qu Xinyou only used up a lot of physical and spiritual energy and was not in a bad state.

"What wave have you tested to?"

"The third wave."

Just as he thought.

"Has the third wave passed?"

Qu Xin hummed. "The third wave has passed?!" Yuan Zhengfei was even more shocked.

The time was not very long, so he thought that Qu Xinyou had passed two waves at most, but he did not expect that she had even passed the third wave!
You know, even though they are both at the third level of Qi Refining, Sand Scorpion is not very strong individually.

But they don't rely on a single individual to fight, and he has improved it. He has tried this Crane Wing Formation, and it can persist for a long time even when facing opponents who are stronger than them.

"Correct."

"Wait, you didn't get through it with brute force, did you?"

Qu Xinyou shook his head and said: "Although I have only passed the third wave, I have summarized the characteristics and shortcomings of this formation. This formation..."

She recounted her actions when she broke the Crane Wing Formation just now, plus her knowledge and personal opinions on the Crane Wing Formation.

The more he listened, the brighter Yuan Zhengfei's eyes became.

Although he was full of confidence in this formation and knew that it had weaknesses, he didn't know where to adjust it.

His understanding of the Crane Wing Formation was only one-sided in terms of both offense and defense.

He wanted to increase the power of this formation, but he couldn't find the direction.

But Qu Xinyou's personal opinion mentioned the weaknesses of the Crane Wing Formation, which caused an explosion of inspiration in his mind.

"……that's it."

Qu Xinyou considered it carefully and said, "But this is just my personal feeling just now. There may be something wrong with it."

"No, very right, very good!"

Yuan Zhengfei's expression was complicated. He didn't expect that an outer disciple would have such a talent. It was really enviable...

Of course, he was more excited and even wanted to change the formation now, but in the end he still remembered the business.

"Even if you succeed in the task of measuring the formation, just go back and collect the task reward. Also, I wonder if Junior Sister Qu intends to cooperate with me in the long term?"

"Long-term cooperation?" Qu Xinyou's eyes flashed slightly.

"Yes, you help me test the formation, and I will give you the spiritual stone resources, so you don't have to go through the outer gate to Luoyantang. It will also save us trouble. What do you think, Junior Sister Qu?"

Qu Xinyou looked hesitant.

When Yuan Zhengfei saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "What are you worried about?"

The results of Qu Xinyou's array test were very good, and he commented on them in all aspects.

It can be said that even if a disciple who knows the formation comes to test the formation, that's it.

It was difficult to find a suitable junior and junior fellow student for the test formation. If possible, he would of course hope to have a long-term cooperation.

And he had a hunch that Qu Xinyou was talented in formations. If he could enter the inner gate, he might be able to go further with the formations.

"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I took this task because I was interested in formations and wanted to learn basic formation knowledge." Qu Xinyou looked at Yuan Zhengfei.

"Senior Brother Yuan, I don't need spiritual stone resources, as long as you can teach me some basic formation knowledge, is that okay?"

really.

Yuan Zhengfei was not too surprised by this, and agreed after only thinking for a moment.

First of all, what he values ​​​​is Qu Xinyou's ability in measuring formations. Secondly, Qu Xinyou is only at the third level of Qi refining. It is not easy to reach the tenth level of Qi refining, enter the inner gate, and then pass the assessment of Jiuri Peak.

By that time, he had probably become a second-class disciple, maybe even a first-class disciple.

So there is not much competition between the two.

Qu Xinyou has this talent. Even if it takes a long time for her to actually become an array master, she can still form a good relationship in advance.

Therefore, without much hesitation, Yuan Zhengfei agreed.

[Wow, that’s great. Youyou, Chongya! The formation inheritance of Taoist Master Mingchen is waiting for us! 】

After getting the answer, Qu Xinyou was in a good mood.

In order to prevent her from accidentally falling into the formation when she returned, Yuan Zhengfei also led her down the peak.

What I didn't expect was that I met a female nun on the way down.

This female figure was dressed in moon-white clothes. Her eyes were narrow and slightly raised. There was a condescending contempt in her eyes, and she seemed to be unspeakably mean at first glance.

When the female cultivator passed by, Yuan Zhengfei immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master Wen Jing."

[This title of Master Wen Jing... is so familiar! Isn't this the real person Wen Jing that Xiao Weiwei hates! 】
