"The divine consciousness restriction used to sacrifice the spiritual weapon can actually be used to sacrifice the formation disk of the Red Feather Formation. It's an unexpected surprise."
Half a day later, Gu Qing felt that more than half of the power of the soul had been consumed, so he stopped refining for the time being. He saw that the red feather array plate placed on the pile of low-grade fire spiritual stones had a small area of white aura glowing on the edge.
"It seems that it will take about fifty more sacrifices." He glanced at the Akabane Formation Disk with his spiritual consciousness, then turned to look outside the formation light curtain.
At some point, it started snowing heavily again.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Outside Tianbei County, it is already early spring, but Tianbei County is still shrouded in cold wind, and there is less snow.
More than ten miles away on one side of Hanshan City, several waves of monks hiding around the Red Feather Formation began to think of retreating.
In the past half month, they have also felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gathering forward. Many monks secretly thought that it was a pity that this first-order spiritual vein had not collapsed and wasted their time of waiting.
As for trying to break the formation and attack the Xianhe sect's station, look at the methods that the newly arrived station manager of the Xianhe sect named Gu used half a month ago. I'm afraid a monk in the foundation-building period would have to take action to forcefully break the formation. .
As for the monks in the foundation-building stage, they would never provoke an immortal sect for the sake of a first-order spiritual vein that is about to expire.
A few days later, the first wave of monks left. As if this was a signal, wave after wave of monks left one after another.
Another three days passed, and among the monks who had been hiding in secret, only the Ziyun Sect and the others who had set up a concealment formation to hide their figures were left. The eyes of this group of people looking at the Red Feather Formation were somewhat complicated.
If they had not brought Gu Qing over that day, they might have successfully received this first-order spiritual vein.
But if they successfully receive this first-order spiritual vein, they are afraid that they will not have a share in the Yuntian Secret Realm, so a very contradictory emotion emerges in their hearts.
This emotion brewed into a bit of resentment.
"Damn it, this kid doesn't know how to open the formation and let me go in and have a rest. This temporary concealment formation in the ice and snow is definitely not as comfortable as staying inside."
"Who says it isn't?"
"I took that kid all the way for nothing!"
Jiao Kong cursed bitterly, which attracted several echoes.
Chu Zihan on the side was in a good mood.
The Xianhe Sect's first-level spiritual veins have slowed down again, so Chu Zihan can't blame her for not occupying this level of spiritual veins during this trip.
She can't let her lead people to forcibly break the Red Feather Formation, find out the manager named Gu from the Xianhe Sect, and then occupy that first-level spiritual vein, right? After all, Ziyun Sect and Xianhe Sect are in Huifeng Valley, and their relationship can be said to be pretty good. If they do this, there will be trouble in the future.
"Let's go, I'll go find Brother Gu later!"
Chu Zihan waved his hand vigorously, his purple robes rustled fiercely, and he headed towards the direction of the Red Feather Formation.
…
A moment later, inside the Akabane Formation.
Gu Qing's face turned pale due to the many days of refining the array, and his soul power had been exhausted. He looked at Chu Zihan with a strange look across the stone table, who was holding a jar and drinking wine.
"Brother Gu! Don't say anything, just do it!"
Chu Zihan threw a jasper cup over, poured Gu Qing a cup of blood-colored spiritual wine, and spoke with joy.
Gu Qing looked at the glass of spiritual wine for a few times, then held it up and pretended to drink it, but he directly put the glass of wine into his storage bag.
There was some redness on Chu Zihan's fair cheeks. Her eyes flickered slightly and she raised her eyes to look at Gu Qing: "Brother Gu, you are not good at this. You have to drink when others are toasting..."
As she spoke, she grabbed the female disciple of the same sect beside her with one hand. The female disciple's face turned red because she had drunk a lot of wine, and she showed a drunken look on her face, and they drank together with her.
While the group was making a fuss, a spiritual stone quietly appeared in Gu Qing's hand. Holding the spiritual stone, he came to the side and looked quietly at the group of Ziyun Sect disciples standing or sitting in front of him.
If he had malicious intentions at this moment, this group of people would immediately kill them all. Even if Chu Zihan had some special means, it would be impossible to defeat him in the Red Feather Formation at this moment.
"This Fellow Daoist Gu seems not to be used to this kind of scene." Jiao Kong, who had not been drinking, walked over.
"Why adapt."
Gu Qing responded coldly.
"This is wrong. Everything in the world comes from adaptation. Children learn to talk, and when they grow up, they learn to walk. If you don't adapt, will you have to lie down and live your whole life? The cub is being If the female animal comes out of the cave and hunts on its own, is it possible that it will die if it doesn't adapt? Adaptation, the so-called adaptation, is just being greedy and indulging in a comfortable little circle of one's own, but this will also miss a lot of scenery."
Jiao Kong looked familiar and said sincerely.
"What I'm saying is, why do you need to adapt? If it's necessary, do it. If it's not necessary, don't do it."
Gu Qing repeated word for word.
Jiao Kong's expression froze. He wanted to continue speaking, but was blocked. For a long time, he couldn't think of what to say in reply.
"There is a Crimson Pill in my storage bag, which is half a set of medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. If it is true as you said, is it necessary to keep us here right now?" At this time, Chu Zihan Her cheeks were still flushed, and her figure in purple robe was slightly uneven as she walked towards Gu Qing.
Gu Qing subconsciously focused his gaze on the bulging part of her chest, then quickly looked away without responding to the woman's question.
"Why do you look like an old guy..."
Chu Zihan rolled her beautiful eyes at Gu Qing and waved her hand towards the surrounding Ziyun Sect disciples: "Young men, return to the sect!"
Following this woman's order, all the disciples of the Ziyun Sect stood up one after another, packed up their cups, greeted Gu Qing a few times, and walked towards the Red Feather Formation together. The formation talisman in Gu Qing's hand was red. Flash, the light curtain of the Red Feather Formation suddenly opened a portal. He watched the group of Ziyun Sect disciples leave talking and laughing, thinking in his heart with an expressionless face.
What on earth are these people here to do?
After closing the door that had cracked the formation light curtain, Gu Qing looked at the unconscious Zhen Jiulong under the stone table.
When this junior brother saw Chu Zihan, he seemed to have lost his soul. He also went up to ask for a glass of wine, and then he became drunk like a dead pig. He probably won't be able to wake up before tomorrow.
The stone table was located in a pavilion. The empty room was slightly deserted. Gu Qing returned to the stone table and sat down.
The crowd dispersed after drinking, but it seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"The monks who were watching from the outside should have dispersed. The situation of this first-order spiritual vein has indeed improved a lot." Gu Qing thought silently. He had gone down to the cave of the spiritual vein again before. A small part of the cracks on the crystal is visible to the naked eye. "What is the reason? Things must be reversed at the extreme? Or has my arrival brought any changes to this first-order spiritual vein?"
He was still confused.
According to the degree of deficiency of this first-order spiritual vein, there is basically no solution that can reverse the escape of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy flowing in the spiritual veins will become slower and slower until the spiritual vein crystal collapses. This process is basically irreversible. However, on the day Gu Qing arrived, he sensed that the spiritual energy flowing faster in the cave, and then he With his spiritual consciousness, he sensed that the surrounding spiritual energy was converging towards this spiritual vein, while the spiritual energy that was not here was escaping towards the surroundings.
The turning point of all this seemed to be his arrival.
As Gu Qing thought about it, he thought of two things.
The space of the stone tablet, and the big cauldron brought back from Feilei Peak.
He glanced at Zhen Jiulong on the ground, dragged the person outside, returned to the pavilion, and took out the big cauldron obtained from Feilei Peak.
During this period of time, he had no time to study this cauldron.
Gu Qing touched it lightly with his hand, followed the texture on the cauldron, carefully checked it inch by inch, injected spiritual power several times, and then swept his consciousness towards the cauldron. After scanning it several times, he still found nothing, but he had a feeling. An inexplicable sense of shock and bursts of noisy sounds rang in his ears, but when he tried to pursue this feeling, it disappeared again.
He tried to create a divine consciousness restriction.
There are many kinds of spiritual consciousness restraints for sacrificing spiritual weapons. The kind of spiritual sense restraint that Gu Qing has learned is the simplest kind of restraint. It is called Sancai forbidden, which means the three talents of heaven, earth and man. It is actually an extremely stable one. After the restriction is used to sacrifice the spiritual weapon, the spiritual weapon can not only be waved with an arm, but also it will be difficult for others to control it even if it falls into the hands of others.
After Gu Qing's divine consciousness restriction landed on the cauldron, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
This tripod is truly extraordinary!
only……
Gu Qing frowned slightly as he looked at the consciousness restraint he had placed on Ding, leaving no trace at all.
"It seems that this treasure requires a stronger spiritual consciousness to be restrained before it can be sacrificed." Gu Qing put the cauldron back into the storage bag again, took out the streamer array and embedded it into a low-grade earth-attribute spiritual stone, and the earth-colored sand curtain enveloped it. Around him, he imagined the pure black vertical eyes between his eyebrows.
The next moment, his figure disappeared from where he was.
…
In the stele space, Gu Qing's figure suddenly appeared. He landed on the dark ground in the stele space, and his consciousness spread.
"The spiritual energy has become much richer. The last time I practiced in the stone monument space, the spiritual energy here became a little thinner. Now more than half a month has passed, and the spiritual energy in this stone monument space has not only recovered, but is even worse than before. If it were the stone monument space If the spiritual energy within can continue to become richer at this speed, it will soon reach the level of a cave above the second-level spiritual veins.
The space of this stone monument can always absorb spiritual energy from the outside world. In a hundred years or a thousand years, the spiritual energy here will probably be richer than ordinary people imagine, and even reach the level of caves built deep in high-level spiritual veins! "
Gu Qing wondered secretly.
Thinking of this, his heart trembled.
"The space of the stone tablet can attract spiritual energy from the outside world, and the spiritual veins of the world are where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gather. Could it be that the space of the stone tablet caused the irreversible spiritual energy of the first-order spiritual vein to escape and reverse it?"
He thought so.
The more he thought about it, the more Gu Qing found this theory to be reliable.
He visualized the pure black vertical eyes between his eyebrows, returning to the pavilion, intending to put away the formation disk of the streamer array.
"Um?"
Gu Qing looked at the spiritual stones embedded in the streamer formation, his expression stagnant.
He had just embedded this earth-type low-grade spiritual stone into the formation plate. Only a trace of the spiritual energy in it was consumed. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. However, when Gu Qing glanced at it with his spiritual consciousness, he felt something strange.
The spiritual energy is consumed too slowly.
It was about thirty-four breaths from the time he entered the stone monument space to the time he came out. This low-grade spiritual stone only consumed about thirty breaths of spiritual energy, which was a bit unreasonable.
Gu Qing thought for a moment.
There was a feeling in his heart that he had grasped something, but it was somewhat paradoxical. An indescribable sense of confusion came over him.
Putting the array disk of the streamer array back, Gu Qing visualized the pure black vertical eyes between his eyebrows and returned to the stone monument space again.
The moment he arrived at the stele space, Gu Qing had an idea.
"time!"
He realized this.
"Could it be that the speed of time in this stone monument space has become different from the outside world? Is this...possible?" Gu Qing licked his lips. He became more solemn than ever before, counting silently in his heart and calculating the passage of time through his own breathing.
The time it takes for the Flowing Light Array to consume a low-grade spiritual stone is two and a half days, which is thirty hours.
Gu Qing stayed in the space of the stone tablet for thirty hours. He did not practice any cultivation, but only kept an eye on the time accurately. When the thirty hours had passed, he immediately visualized the eyebrows and raised eyes.
He appeared in the streamer array and looked at the low-grade earth attribute spiritual stone embedded in the array plate of the streamer array.
Seeing that the spiritual stone was slightly gray, Gu Qing waited quietly. It was not until four hours later that this low-grade earth spiritual stone turned into a gray color, and the surrounding sand curtain slowly dispersed.
There was a huge wave in his heart.
Time is time!
Time flies, and immortality has become the common pursuit of all monks.
But now Gu Qing discovered that the time flow rate in his stone tablet space was different from that in the outside world! Even if it is only slightly slower, it is enough to allow him to spend more time practicing than other monks. Of course, his longevity will also pass faster.
But this was enough to surprise Gu Qing.
One step is faster, each step is faster. While other monks have been practicing for thirty years, he has been practicing for thirty-four years. The gap of four years does not seem big, but when it comes to fighting, a tiny gap is enough to determine Win or lose.
