It was already evening when Xu Yuxiu returned to Qingfeng Town.
The lights in the town were still bright, and while walking, she heard some casual cultivators talking about the vision of the ruins emerging.
It's just that those casual cultivators didn't know that it was an ancient ruin, and they only thought it was the light emitted by some kind of treasure.
Everyone was talking enthusiastically, but Xu Yuxiu didn't listen much.
After disposing of the corpses of several monster beasts in the storage bag and earning more than fifty spirit stones, she went straight to her residence to rest.
The next day, at dawn, Xu Yuxiu had already left Qingfeng Town and rushed to the sect.
Today is the last day of her mission.
It took almost the same time as when I came back to return to the sect, and I went directly to hand in the task.
There were many people in the Contribution Hall who submitted tasks, most of them were old disciples, and she was the only new disciple.
Therefore, when handing in the task, it also attracted some people's attention.
But they were only slightly surprised, and then they talked about some of their experiences.
Xu Yuxiu also listened to some, most of which were about the gains from their trip, or the friends they got to know from a certain inner sect brother or sister.
She didn't hear any discussion about the emergence of ancient ruins, even if she thought about it.
The ancient ruins were only discovered yesterday, and the news should not have spread to the sect so quickly.
What concerned her a little was that some people were talking about the new disciples of the inner sect, and some were going out to do tasks.
It is said that they went to the Hundred Demon Mountains, which is relatively dangerous for monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
The Hundred Demons Mountain Range is more dangerous than the Wind Wolf Territory. It is said that there are demon beasts everywhere there during the Qi training period, and there are more than a dozen demon beasts during the Foundation Establishment period, and it is very likely that there are great Linking Dan demons.
Xu Yuxiu listened for a while and then stopped listening.
"Twenty Wind Spirit Grasses, the quality is up to standard. This is the contribution point for the mission reward."
After receiving the identity token from the hands of the deacon disciple, I saw twenty contribution points added to it.
After confirming that nothing was missing, I put away the identity token.
Xu Yuxiu walked out of the Contribution Hall and went straight to the Outer Gate Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to collect this month's cultivation supplies.
After receiving this month's cultivation supplies, he returned to his residence.
Returning to the courtyard again, it feels like a long time has passed.
It happened that when she came back, she saw the door of a house opened and a girl about her age walked out.
When the girl saw her, she just nodded to her and left the courtyard in a hurry without talking to her as if she had something to do.
She didn't care, opened the door and walked into her house.
After closing the door, she began to sort out the results of this mission.
She had already sorted out most of them and placed them neatly.
Only Yu Chengdao's storage bag and the key to the ruins treasure house have not been carefully sorted and observed.
She first took out the key to the ruins treasure house and observed it.
The shape of this key is quite strange, and I don’t know what material it is made of. It is said to be a key, but it is actually more like a token.
The token is engraved with complex ancient text, and there seems to be some kind of restriction.
Xu Yuxiu tried to use his spiritual sense to detect, but found nothing.
After putting away the key to the ruins treasure house, he opened Yu Chengdao's storage bag and poured out the contents.
As a casual cultivator, Yu Chengdao didn't have many things.
In addition to going in and out of ancient ruins, there are even fewer things left.
Among them, there are only a few things that Xu Yuxiu cares about, not to mention spiritual stones and elixirs.
What concerned her even more was the compass, a book, and a map made of unknown material that she had seen used by Chengdao.
The map was that of the ancient ruins. Yu Chengdao explained it before she died, and she carefully kept it alone.
Picking up the book, I saw the four big words "Annotations on Formation" on the cover that were particularly conspicuous.
I opened it and took a look. It was written about Yu Chengdao's thoughts on studying formations.
"Array..."
After Xu Yuxiu read this formation annotation, he became interested in the formation.
Speaking of which, she still hasn't decided what she wants to learn among the various arts of cultivation.
Now that you already have a ready-made one, let’s choose a formation.
That compass is a related artifact of the formation, and it is also a spiritual weapon.
Although the compass looks ordinary on the surface, and there are no indication lines on it, as long as spiritual power is injected into it, lines will appear on the surface of the compass.
After playing with the compass for a while, Xu Yuxiu couldn't put it down.
After all, this is the first spiritual weapon she has owned.
Just as she was playing with the compass, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Yuxiu put everything away, stood up and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, she saw Shen Fengjiao standing outside.
"Yuxiu, it's really you who's back. I heard some movement in your room before and thought it was a burglar!"
Shen Fengjiao's eyes brightened up as soon as the door opened, "By the way, Yuxiu, I haven't seen you for more than half a month, where have you been?"
Seeing Shen Fengjiao again, Xu Yuxiu felt that she seemed to have changed again. The arrogance in her before was completely gone.
I don’t know what she has been through these days.
"I accepted the mission and went out to the sect to do the mission." Xu Yuxiu didn't hide anything.
"You actually went on a mission!" Hearing her answer, Shen Fengjiao was full of surprise. "I heard that doing missions is dangerous, and you may encounter monsters. Have you encountered one?"
"Yeah." Xu Yuxiu nodded.
Not only had she encountered monsters, she had also killed them.
Shen Fengjiao looked a little nervous when she heard that she had even encountered monsters.
Immediately, she seemed to have thought of something, "Have you already broken through the third level of Qi refining?"
She has also heard about the power of monsters. She heard that only by reaching the third level of Qi Refining can one have the strength to fight against monsters.
Xu Yuxiu could encounter a monster and come back safe and sound, no wonder she thought so.
Xu Yuxiu shook his head in denial, "The monster is actually not that powerful..."
After she told some basic information about the monster, Shen Fengjiao's expression softened.
"You just came back from a mission. You must be very tired. I won't disturb you."
After saying this, Shen Fengjiao said goodbye and went back to the house.
Xu Yuxiu watched her leave and returned to the room.
She didn't rest after that, but took out the "Annotations on Formation" and started reading.
Formation techniques are extensive and profound, but compared to alchemy, talisman making, and weapon refining, the threshold for entry is much lower.
The reason why I say this is because whether it is alchemy, talisman making, or weapon refining, if you want to get started, you need to consume a lot of spiritual stones.
But getting started with the formation is much easier.
All you need to do is understand the basic structure of the formation and learn the common techniques for setting up the formation.
These are all found in Chengdao's "Annotations on Formation", and they are also recorded in great detail.
After briefly reading this book, Xu Yuxiu had already made up his mind to incorporate the formation into his daily practice.
In this way, in addition to training and practicing spells every day, she also has one more formation to study.
So, Xu Yuxiu started practicing according to his own arrangements.
