The old man lay lazily on the Taishi chair, and extended a hand to wave to Shen Luo.
The meaning was obvious, telling him that he could leave now. Seeing this, Shen Luo turned around and left.
After leaving Lingyun Pavilion, Shen Luo did not fly directly towards the cave he had just rented.
Instead, he returned to Black Wind City and wanted to buy some arrays to protect the cave, even though he now had the Inverted Five Elements Array in his hand.
But after all, this is not where the sect is, and there is not enough security guarantee, so it is natural to be more careful.
Yanyu Pavilion is the most famous shop in Black Wind City that sells various formation flags and formation disks.
It is said that this shop was once founded by a monk who was a master of golden elixirs, and it has been passed down for nearly a thousand years.
Shen Luo walked into the shop wearing a ghost face mask. As soon as he entered, he was attracted by the various array flags and dharma plates placed on the counter.
However, he could only look at it curiously. He knew nothing about formations and had no idea what the uses of these instruments were.
"I've met senior! I wonder what kind of formation you want to buy, senior? Our store sells various formations for attack, defense, illusion and other purposes." A girl in yellow stepped forward and saluted Shen Luo, her voice was euphemistic and pleasant. said.
"I want to buy a set of magic formations to protect the cave. It is best that even the golden elixir stage monks can't break through it immediately!" Shen Luo said sternly to the girl.
"Is it a magic circle that can even be blocked by Golden Core Stage cultivators?"
When the girl heard this, she was stunned and stunned on the spot. She originally thought that the other party was just here to buy some ordinary formations.
Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth and wanted to buy a magic circle that could block the golden elixir stage monks.
After a while, the girl recovered from the shock.
"The little girl dare not make the decision for the kind of magic circle that the senior wants. Please wait for a moment. The little girl will report the matter first, and then let our shopkeeper here make the decision." The girl said apologetically.
After saying that, the girl turned around and walked into the inner hall behind the counter.
Seeing the girl walking away to report, Shen Luo had no choice but to stop in the store and wait.
The reason why he wanted this formation was simply because he was afraid that outsiders would notice that he was using gourds to refine the best spiritual elixirs in the cave, or swallowing the elixirs to practice.
After all, there were other monks living near his cave, so he had to guard against this.
Not long after, the departing girl led a middle-aged beautiful woman into the hall.
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy a magic circle that can withstand the golden elixir stage monks in a short period of time?" The beautiful woman asked Shen Luo again as soon as she came here.
"Yes." Shen Luo nodded.
"It is natural for our store to be able to withstand the magic circle of Jindan monks in a short period of time. However, the refining materials for this magic circle are quite rare, and the refining method is extremely complicated. Considering the price," the beautiful woman said. No more words, but looking at Shen Luo with deep meaning.
"As long as the formation is applicable, the price can be easily negotiated." Shen Luo said calmly. If he dared to come here to buy the formation, he must have brought enough money.
The capital in his hands was not earned by selling elixirs and talismans, but by robbing them of their bodies by killing people and seizing treasures.
"Since fellow Taoist disciples are so cheerful, I will open the skylight and speak frankly. There is a formation in our store called Xuanhuang Yin-Yang Formation. It is simplified based on the ancient formation. It is a complete defensive formation."
"Even an early-stage Jindan cultivator would have to spend less than half an hour to break through it under a strong frontal attack."
"I didn't expect your store to have this kind of magic array. It's just a simplified version of this ancient formation. It must be quite time-consuming to set up." Shen Luo said slowly, holding his chin with one hand.
"Haha, fellow Taoists, you can rest assured about this. The formation is very simple to set up. After we have improved it several times, we only need to insert spiritual stones in the formation plate to activate it." The beautiful woman said with a proud smile.
"I see, I just don't know the price of this formation?"
"In terms of price, fellow Taoist only needs to pay three thousand spiritual stones."
Hearing this, Shen Luo took out thirty mid-level spiritual stones from his storage bag without any hesitation.
Seeing Shen Luo being so straightforward, the beautiful women and girls couldn't help but become very curious about his identity.
You must know that three thousand spiritual stones are not a small amount of money for a late-stage foundation-building monk.
Shen Luo took it out without even blinking.
Of course, they could only keep their suspicions about Shen Luo in their stomachs. If the other party gave up the idea of purchasing because they talked too much, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
After Shen Luo delivered the spirit stones and obtained the formation, he bought some materials for refining talismans in the city, and finally flew towards his cave in the flying boat.
When he arrived at the rented cave, he pushed open the bluestone door that had been closed for a long time and walked in.
After a short inspection, Shen Luo arranged the upside-down Five Elements Formation placed in the storage bag and the black and yellow Yin-Yang Formation he bought.
Seeing that both magic circles were activated, he came to the retreat room with peace of mind and began to meditate.
Time flies by, and four years have passed unknowingly.
Since Shen Luo came to this cave, he has been staying in the retreat room, concentrating on practicing and never leaving.
One day, while practicing in the retreat room, Shen Luo suddenly interrupted his practice and opened his eyes.
After four years of seclusion, he practiced meditation with the help of the best elixir in his hand.
Finally, the cultivation level was abruptly upgraded from the late stage of foundation building to the great perfection of the late stage of foundation building, and he was only one step away from forming a golden elixir.
But with this one kick, he couldn't get over it no matter what. He knew that this was due to the bottleneck of the pill formation.
As for the pill-forming bottleneck, he currently only has four Dust-falling Pills in his hand. With only four Dust-falling Pills, he doesn't dare to take them rashly.
On the one hand, he is afraid that his qualifications are too poor and the four Dust Falling Pills will not be enough. On the other hand, he still lacks the Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid that he will use when he is promoted to pill formation.
These two spiritual liquids are essential elixirs for forming pills. Their functions are equivalent to the foundation-building pills taken by monks in the Qi-refining stage when they advance to foundation-building.
Shen Luo's own situation is very clear to him. He doesn't think that after he breaks through the bottleneck of forming the elixir, he will definitely be able to successfully advance to the golden elixir by relying on his own magic power.
Therefore, without enough Dust Falling Pills, Snow Spiritual Water, and Heavenly Fire Liquid in hand, he would not be able to form the pills easily.
"It seems that if you want to get these elixirs as quickly as possible, you can only go to the Black Wind City Market." Shen Luo murmured to himself.
A few days later, the gate of Qingshi Cave, which had been closed for four years, was finally opened.
Shen Luo piloted the flying boat and flew straight towards Black Wind City at top speed.
