In the small courtyard of Dengtong Lane, Jiang Yuebai borrowed Lu Nazhi's quiet room to make elixirs.
Ever since that day when she learned from Li Shenzhi that Kong had a metallic innate spiritual treasure, Jiang Yuebai's heart became anxious.
It has been more than three years since the Quicksand Region obtained the earth spirit object.
In the past three years, she has searched in hundreds of places, but has found nothing. This is the first time in more than three years that she has obtained extremely accurate clues about spiritual objects, and they are right before her eyes.
But the difficulty and obstacles to obtain it are greater than ever before.
Even a monk who transforms into a god cannot easily break into the Kong family's secret vault. Even if he has the life to go in and find something, he has no life to leave with it.
Tsk~~
Black smoke came out of the alchemy furnace. Jiang Yuebai suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly turned off the flame to check.
A furnace of bone-strengthening pills is useless!
"well……"
Jiang Yuebai held her chin and sighed quietly. Her Earthly Fire was too strong. When making elixirs, she still had to concentrate on controlling the fire without being distracted.
"If Xiaolu's fire can be gentler, it would be good to put it under the alchemy furnace to control the fire."
Jiang Yuebai held her head and thought for a while, then sighed again, took out the array diagrams given to her by Zhenjun Fuyi, and rubbed her face to focus.
"Sure enough, as Zhenjun Fuyi said, it is too difficult to learn from the basics in the early stage. Others can directly rely on the formation diagram to set up the formation. I am still here to study the principles of the connection changes between the formation points, but I don't understand it. I feel uncomfortable again!”
Jiang Yuebai took out a pen and paper and lay on the ground, looking at the array diagrams to write and draw, turning the roulette wheel on the eight array disks, and making deductions with his fingers.
It is said that there are a lot of formations in the secret labyrinth of Fengyunhui this time, and those who are proficient in formations will find the way out more easily than others.
"...I can now use the eight array disks to set up a three-turn continuous array of wood, fire, and earth. If I am careful, it will not be a problem to surround and kill the peak foundation building. It is just that I cannot form a cycle without water and gold, and the spiritual power in my body can only Enough to support the three-turn chain formation for about an hour..."
"In addition to the twenty-four formations currently available in the eight-formation plate, I also need to prepare a few formations that do not require my spiritual energy to be used just in case. Let me take a look... huh? This Five Ultimate Thunder Formation looks good."
Jiang Yuebai took out one of the formation pictures given to her by Zhenjun Fuyi, turned it over and lay on her back to read it.
"Use the five elements to contain the thunder array, according to the number of five and five, and arrange the array according to the direction of the five elements. The five elements generate each other, and the thunder gathers into a tide. It is impossible to escape with wings. The five elements restrain each other, and the thunder explodes to the sky. A hundred deaths and no life."
"This formation can activate the power of the Golden Core with its foundation-building strength. It looks so powerful, but the scale of this formation is not small, and I cannot build it by myself..."
Jiang Yuebai continued to study and read. He felt his mouth was a little idle while looking at it. He took out a box of Baishui's characteristic mugwort green dumplings to eat. The green dumplings were sticky and glutinous, and they were not stained with flour. It's sticky and the bean paste inside is also very sweet.
"Is it tasty?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Yuebai bit into the green ball, his eyes widened suddenly, he quickly spit out the green ball and stuffed it into the box, then threw the box into the alchemy furnace, wiped his mouth and got up.
Opening the door of the quiet room, a man in green from Zhilan Yushu stood in the courtyard. Although his eyebrows were gentle and good-looking, Jiang Yuebai could see that he was a bit stern, and he felt guilty.
"Master!"
Li Jiuchuan looked at Jiang Yuebai and saw that her cultivation was only half the distance from the late stage of foundation building. He showed a satisfied look. He also saw the white powder on the corner of her mouth that had not been wiped clean. He pursed his lips and shook his head.
Jiang Yuebai clasped his hands, shrank his neck, and said in a weak voice, "Master, I want to say that I just took a small taste out of curiosity. Do you believe it?"
Jiang Yuebai smiled awkwardly, with red bean paste from the Qingtuan ball still stuck on his teeth.
Li Jiuchuan did not reprimand her, but just looked around, "Why don't you even open the protective formation in the courtyard? If I am a disciple of Xiaoxiao and you are practicing, I am afraid it will be in danger!"
Only then did Jiang Yuebai realize, yes, where is the protective formation in the courtyard?
Although she has the master's spiritual consciousness in her body, and the master can easily find her within the scope of his spiritual consciousness, it shouldn't be so easy to enter the yard.
"Master, wait."
Jiang Yuebai searched around various rooms, but when he didn't see Lu Nanzhi, he suddenly understood.
"It's Anan. She's been a little confused recently. She must have forgotten it when she went out. Master, sit down and I'll make tea for you. Baishui River is known as the hometown of spiritual tea. The green tea before the rain here is particularly delicious."
Jiang Yuebai invited Li Jiuchuan to sit in the courtyard, and quickly took out the small red clay stove to boil water and make tea.
Li Jiuchuan sat down and said, "The Supreme Elder already knows about Lu Nanzhi's matter and is discussing it with her master Guanghan Jianjun and the sect leader. The Tianyan Sect will not ignore her."
"Really?" Jiang Yuebai looked up in surprise.
Li Jiuchuan took the tea can from Jiang Yuebai's hand, put it under his nose and sniffed, his eyes brightening slightly.
"Well, I came here after returning to the sect. It's just that Tianyan Sect has been instructed by its ancestor not to interfere in Lu's affairs. This matter is related to Fang's, so we have to deal with it in a roundabout way, which may take some time and effort. "
"You should pay more attention to Lu Nanzhi these days. The Supreme Elder said that she is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, but also stubborn and wants to be strong. I sent her a message and did not reply, for fear that she would act impulsively."
Jiang Yuebai nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I will talk to Anan. If it doesn't work, I will just follow her every day."
Li Jiuchuan made the tea himself, "There's no need to follow her every day. Don't push her too hard, just pay more attention to her. Besides... Fang Mingyi, was you the one who did it?"
Jiang Yuebai's scalp tightened, "Master, what are you talking about? I don't even know who Fang Mingyi is. I have been practicing and studying in the courtyard these days and have never been anywhere."
Master has just arrived in Kong Fangcheng. How come he is so well-informed?
Li Jiuchuan smiled and said, "Before I came here, I went to the Fang family to deliver a letter to greet the clan leader. I heard many people secretly talking about Fang Mingyi being put in a sack in the suburbs, stripped naked and beaten to the point where his own mother could not recognize him. I I knew it was you as soon as I thought about it.”
"It's really not me!" Jiang Yuebai said confidently, "I, the dignified senior sister of Tiancrying Peak, act with integrity and will never do anything that damages the reputation of my master and the image of the sect."
Li Jiuchuan laughed and shook his head, "Okay, let's not talk about others. Let's talk about your experiences over the years."
The red stove makes tea, and the master and apprentice talk.
Jiang Yuebai talked for a long time, pouring out all the thrills, sorrows and pains she had experienced over the years to Li Jiuchuan.
"... That's it. Now there are only gold and water spirits left. I haven't had good luck in the past three years. I've been trying to find no results and I've been tricked several times. I almost couldn't see the master. Now I found out about the Kong family. There is a gold-type innate spiritual treasure in the secret treasury, but it is the Kong family’s secret treasury, and I really can’t do anything about it, Master~~"
Jiang Yuebai's hair was disheveled, and the small Ganoderma lucidum on her head was shaking, with a look of grievance and sadness on her face.
Li Jiuchuan put down the tea cup with a calm expression, "You are full of crooked ideas. Although the world of cultivation is cruel, it is not completely moral. Sometimes what you want can be obtained through legitimate means and channels. , you don’t have to steal or rob, even if the world is like this, you can’t just follow the trend, you must always stick to the bottom line in your heart, and don’t pollute your Taoist heart.”
Jiang Yuebai's face turned red, "But how dignified do I have to be to get such a valuable thing to be given to me directly?"
"The ancestors of the Kong family entered Taoism through literature, and there are still many disciples in the clan practicing Haoran righteousness. I have met the clan leader of the Kong clan several times, and he is a well-versed man. You go and take care of your appearance, and follow the Kong clan as your teacher. pay a visit to."
Jiang Yuebai beamed with joy. It was great to have her master care and help her. Even if she went to Kong's house this time without success, she would still be happy.
