After listening to Shen Panxia's story, Su Mo couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Zhang Lanque’s lie?
What lie?
At this time, Bai Shichang and Song Ruyuan, who were surrounding them unknowingly, also had curious expressions on their faces.
Before he could ask, Bai Shichang couldn't wait to ask:
"Did Zhang Lanque frame them?"
The expression on Shen Panxia's face was a little strange.
Then he replied:
“It’s fair to say that it’s about design.
We all know that ancient cultivators usually set up defensive formations in spiritual lands.
To protect oneself from outsiders.
The same is true for the Star Reaching Hall. There are two large formations set up here.
One of them is called the Thick Earth Formation, which is a third-level formation.
As long as there are main players and enough spiritual power, it can withstand the ninth-level invaders.
Even if no one is looking after it, it is difficult to break through at level 7 or below.
This formation is sufficient as a protection for the Star Reaching Palace.
After all, there were almost no powerful wizards in the world at that time.
This formation alone, combined with Zhang Lanque and others inside, is enough to withstand all external enemies.
Including the casual cultivators who were taken in by Zhang Lanque, they all thought so.
However, what they didn't know was that a second defensive formation was actually deployed in the spiritual land.
Under normal circumstances, let alone setting up a second defensive formation.
Even if there is a third or fourth set, it is not a big deal.
On the contrary, it will make people praise him for his cautious character and good protection.
However, the formation arranged by Zhang Lanque is called the Resurrection Spirit Control Formation.
This is a feared evil formation!
This formation can extract the essence and even the life source of the people within the formation, turning it into an unprecedented defensive formation.
Although it is a third-level formation like the thick earth formation, this formation is difficult to break even for a strong person who has just entered the mage realm.
Its protective effectiveness is far superior to that of a thick earth formation.
But this effect comes at the cost of sacrificing flesh, blood and essence.
The more sacrifices are made, the stronger the protection will be.
Because of this characteristic, in ancient times, the Resurrection Spirit Control Formation was mostly used by demonic sects.
Demonic sects generally like to set up such protective formations outside the sect.
The formation is often connected to many furnaces, captives and even mortals within the sect.
Generally, breaking through such formations often means causing a lot of killings.
Even if the lives of those innocent people are not taken into consideration, there is often a lot of regret left behind.
As a result, the Taoist mind becomes dusty and problems arise when advancing to a higher realm.
Therefore, this type of formation is often deeply hated by many righteous practitioners.
Even after entering the Age of Ending Dharma, the sect disappeared and the evil path and the right path were no longer clearly divided.
But the fear and fear of the Resurrection Spirit Control Formation still remained.
So when those casual cultivators knew that Zhang Lanque had secretly set up such a formation, you can imagine their anger.
After all, they are all in a formation with such a big killer hanging above their heads.
There is no guarantee that Zhang Lanque will use them as fuel for the formation one day. "
After everyone listened, they had some understanding.
Bai Shichang sighed:
"Since this is the case, I don't feel good about it. No one wants to be in a precarious situation. It's normal for internal conflicts to occur."
Hearing this, Song Ruyuan, who was also a formation master, was a little unhappy:
"Arrays are just tools. The so-called distinction between good and evil lies in the person who controls the array. Just like a kitchen knife, you can use it to kill people and you can also use it to cook. Can it be said that it is an evil knife? ?
I would say that it is completely normal for Zhang Lanque to set up the spirit-resurrecting formation in the spiritual land. Since he has such an array at hand and has enough resources to arrange it, he should set it up even for the safety of the spiritual land and himself.
Besides, setting up such formations does not necessarily require the life of the practitioner as the base. Mountain spirits and wild beasts are more than enough.
Moreover, Zhang Lanque was willing to bring those casual cultivators into the spiritual land during the Age of Ending Law. It was too late for them to thank them, but now they had a grudge because of a formation, so they should leave. No one would let them go, right? "
"This is indeed the truth. I'm afraid that Zhang Lanque has a good temper and will be easily bullied."
Su Mo thought of some anecdotes that Zhang Rulong occasionally mentioned in the fantasy world, and knew that Zhang Lanque had a gentle nature and was always kind to others, otherwise he would not have gathered so many casual cultivators out of spirit.
But in the world of spiritual practice, such good intentions often do not end well.
"Ahem, actually I haven't finished talking about the formation just now."
Shen Panxia looked at a few people and said in a solemn voice:
"Although the Resurrection Spirit Control Array is terrifying, its terror is mainly focused on extracting life essence. This extraction does not mean just selecting someone at random, but also requires placing a restriction on the opponent.
Zhang Lanque's strength is indeed high, but it is impossible for him alone to resist the combined efforts of all the casual cultivators in the spiritual land.
The appearance of the Huansheng Spirit Control Formation only made the casual cultivators feel shocked and angry.
What further intensified the conflict was the sealing of this formation.
Yes, the Resurrection Spirit Control Formation can also be used as a sealing formation.
Many demon sects in ancient times liked to use those strong men of the right path as the foundation of their formations.
It can not only continuously devour its origin and weaken its strength through the formation, but also allow the formation to play a protective role, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But what Zhang Lanque used as the base of the formation was an evil fragment! "
"Evil fragments?!"
Hearing this, Bai Shichang suddenly changed his color.
Song Ruyuan seemed to have thought of something, and said in a deep tone:
"Could it be that the robbery demon just now?"
"Yes, that robbery demon is the remnant of the evil spirit."
Shen Panxia nodded and said:
"As we all know, evil spirits have tenacious vitality and are extremely difficult to kill. Some types of evil spirits even possess the characteristics of immortality and can only be sealed and destroyed by the power of time.
Zhang Lanque got an evil fragment from nowhere. In order to prevent it from poisoning the world, he set up a formation in the spiritual land to suppress it, relying on the formation to swallow its origin and continuously weaken it. "
When Su Mo listened, his heart couldn't help but move slightly.
He reacted immediately.
In the illusion, Zhang Qinghu fought with an evil spirit and both sides were injured. Later, he told Zhang Rulong to collect the fragments of the evil spirit to suppress it.
Now it seems that the instructions he gave to the four major disciples all contain such instructions.
Zhang Lanque has a gentle personality, so naturally he will not ignore his master's instructions.
The evil fragments he suppressed in the spiritual land are most likely the remnants of that battle!
Shen Panxia continued:
"Everyone knows the power of evil spirits. Even if it is just a fragment, if the formation is accidentally broken and it is leaked, everyone in the spiritual land may not be spared. After all, it is a fragment left by an evil spirit equivalent to the mage level. It's not something that ordinary magicians can handle.
Not to mention, the Huansheng Yuling Formation failed to completely seal the town, and the evil energy it vaguely leaked infected the people of the spirit land day and night, making them more violent, murderous, vicious and surly.
Just two days after the negotiation that day, conflicts arose again because of this matter. During this period, Zhang Lanque accidentally killed one person, and the battle immediately broke out until everyone was involved and died together.
This is the reason for the destruction of Star Reaching Palace. "
After hearing what Shen Panxia said, everyone reacted.
There is also a spirit-controlling formation, demon-robbing, fighting... all of these correspond to each other.
What happened before and after the contact came in, such a result is not surprising.
It's just a pity for an ancient cultivator like Zhang Lanque.
Whether it is suppressing the evil fragments or taking in outsiders, they are all acts of kindness.
In the end, it ended like this, which is really sad.
Su Mo also felt a little emotional.
I'm afraid Zhang Qinghu never thought that a legacy he left behind would lead to the death of his disciple.
If he knew all this, I'm afraid he would feel very regretful.
But their master and apprentice must have already met underground.
In addition, Su Mo couldn't help but think of the other two people.
In addition to Zhang Rulong and Zhang Lanque, Zhang Qinghu also accepted two other apprentices.
His third disciple seems to be in Qinghu City as well.
The prescription recorded by Zhang Lanque also contains the record of the third junior brother coming to present spiritual herbs.
However, the other party was so elusive that even Zhang Lanque knew very little about his whereabouts.
"I hope these three junior brothers won't cause any trouble again."
Su Mo thought to himself.
Now he almost has a psychological shadow on the person named Zhang.
If another evil fragment appears, something might happen again.
Although it is very likely that the opponent will obtain some skill treasures again.
But there is already a lot in his hands that he has not yet digested.
During the day, I have to deliver food and accumulate attribute points without stopping.
In the evening, I could still exercise myself and gain deeper control over my strength.
But now it seems that I have to allocate part of my time to do other things.
The realm of magician must find a way to advance.
He also had to try to imitate the spirit gathering array in the villa. He didn't know how long this step would take. After all, he was not an array mage.
The other thing is alchemy. Now that I have the elixir recipe, the medicinal cauldron, and the experience of alchemy, I just need to gather the materials to try it. I must find a way to try it.
Then there is the overbearing martial arts skill Blood Diamond. We must also try to continuously practice and practice and continue to upgrade.
Finally, there is the newly awakened spleen talent, which can also be tested from multiple angles.
To be honest, quite a few problems here can be solved by adding skill points.
It's a pity that the next skill point reward is almost half a month away, and you must not be idle during this time.
Furthermore, even if you get the skill points, you still have the gold-swallowing beast [Shenxiao Dongxuan Qi Training Technique] on hand.
The higher the level of this technique, the faster the practice speed. Its priority must be at the top of all the techniques. Even the most powerful martial arts must temporarily give way to it.
"That's all. You can't become fat by eating in one go. You can't rush these things. You can only rely on time to slowly grind them out."
"Anyway, I can achieve real improvement and progress every day. Compared with those practitioners outside, I have already saved a lot of trouble. Even if I can't master hundreds of arts and comprehend ten thousand methods for the time being, it's nothing. matter."
"Step by step, you can always reach the top!"
Su Mo was thinking.
Bai Shichang on the side suddenly asked:
"Mr. Su, I wonder what you think about this spiritual place?"
"idea?"
Su Mo glanced at him in surprise.
Bai Shichang rubbed his hands and asked:
"That's right, this spiritual place was discovered and conquered by the three of us together.
Now, we have wiped out the Order and the remaining dangers.
Mr. Su has naturally made great efforts in this, and he should receive more rewards.
But there are no special treasures here, and there are no treasures left by the Guild.
Only this spiritual land itself is a priceless treasure that can be taken out for division.
Based on the previous contributions from all parties, 50% of this spiritual land belongs to you, and our Magician Alliance and the Civil Security Bureau jointly occupy the remaining 50%. What do you think? "
Su Mo's eyes flickered slightly as he listened.
He naturally understood what Bai Shichang meant.
The other party wanted three points of spiritual land, and Song Ruyuan obviously had no objection to this.
What is surprising is that they are willing to give up 50% of this spiritual land.
It should be noted that both the Magician Alliance and the Civil Security Bureau are big and well-known organizations.
Although he had shown combat prowess comparable to the peak of level 7 in previous battles, there was no shortage of masters of this level in these two organizations.
Even if he didn't intervene, it would be possible to break through this spiritual land with just the two of them.
It stands to reason that for his own sake, it is no problem that these two giants can occupy a higher share by relying on the power behind them.
I never thought that now I would be so wise and give up my big head in front of my face.
Since the other person is willing to be a good person, he will naturally not make things difficult for others.
What's more, he has no interest in this spiritual land at all.
The spiritual land is rich in spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to spiritual practice.
But he set up the spirit gathering array in the villa and stacked the buff of the lung talent, and his cultivation speed was not much slower.
Moreover, he has to deliver food during the day, so he can't stay in the spiritual place all the time.
In addition, the most important thing is that Su Mo doesn't like this place at all.
Who is willing to stay underground all day long to refine immortality and become a Buddha?
He doesn't want this shabby environment.
The worst thing to do is to find a spiritual place with more spiritual energy in the future.
With his ever-improving spiritual perception, it would be easy to find a spiritual place with a better environment in the future.
In this case, it would be better to exchange the share of this spiritual land for more practical benefits.
After thinking about this, Su Mo looked at Bai Shichang and Song Ruyuan with sincere expressions and replied:
"That's good. I'm not used to staying underground all day long to practice. I can give the share of this spiritual land to both of you, but there are a few conditions that I hope you will agree to."
Bai Shichang and Song Ruyuan looked at each other and said solemnly:
"Mr. Su, please speak."
"It's not a big deal."
Su Mo smiled and replied:
"First, I need you to leave me a medicine garden of 100 square meters in the spiritual land to plant the spiritual plants I choose.
Second, I can send ten people to practice here.
Article 3: You must provide me with a batch of spiritual grass and spiritual plants every month. "
Bai Shichang and Song Ruyuan looked a little strange as they listened.
The first and second items are easy to say. A hundred square meters of medicine garden and ten people are nothing. Although the underground space is not big, don’t forget that the upper floor also belongs to the spiritual land. The total area is absolutely Not small.
As for the third item, it is the core of the transaction.
Is this the case where Qing is acting as a tenant, renting out the share of the spiritual land and using spiritual grass and spiritual plants as rent?
"There are not many spiritual grasses and spiritual plants in our organization."
Bai Shichang is wrong.
Su Mo rolled his eyes.
There are not many of you riding horses, and there are not many people in this world.
At that moment, the three of them got together and started bargaining fiercely like ordinary people in the market...
