Now that the situation is critical, Qiong Yi can't wait for Sheng Xuanyuan to come out of seclusion, so she has to report to her master about the Kunzhai tribe's Gu pill.
Lu Bin was shocked after hearing this and asked her where she got the news. Qiong Yi could only say that she accidentally saw it from ancient books and asked the master to send her to support. In terms of cultivation, she would not lose to anyone. A senior brother and sister who will go to the West.
Lu Bin did not agree. Qiong Yi was of a younger generation and although she had sufficient qualifications, she was not suitable both emotionally and rationally, so she was only allowed to practice well within the clan.
Qiong Yi lowered his head silently, and copied the map of the Western Desert that he had drawn earlier that night several times. The next day, with swollen dark circles under his eyes, he handed it to the leader of the team who was about to go to the Western Desert, and at the same time sent a secret message to Xie sent a copy.
She thought that Mr. Xie knew as much about the pass as she did, but it was always good to be more prepared.
*
With the help of the other four tribes, the Xie family regained their strength and vowed to drive back the Rong people without leaving any trace. Qiong Yi often heard news from Western Xinjiang in Guangyang. Yiyuan Pass, which was captured by Kunzhai, could not be taken back for a long time. He could only defend it in front of the second low pass and how many more people would be sent to pass.
At the same time, the five tribes recruited civilian cultivators to go west to kill the enemy. There was no movement from the ten major sects in the rivers and lakes. Qiong had already expected that they would wait and see what would happen.
She couldn't go to the front line, so she could only improve her cultivation in the garden. She thought she was worried enough about the war situation, but the person who was more anxious than Qiong Yi was Lu Li.
Yang Xiaosi went to the Imperial Palace with her father. If reinforcements were urgently needed, she would definitely go into battle.
Lu Li was so anxious that he didn't even think about food and food, and couldn't sleep at night. Qiong Yi felt heartbroken and helpless, thinking to himself: This is all, and this kid still says that he has no feelings for Xiao Si?
Sheng Xuanyuan and his friends are still in the secret realm of Daze, isolated from the world. There is no use asking people to send messages, and there is no use missing them. Qiong also picked up the Xinge Sword, wielding the Youzhui Sword Technique that was engraved in his bones. The sword was fierce, and he said to himself: It is most unworthy to miss lovesickness at this time. If the relationship lasts for a long time, let alone day and night, I will There are things that should be done.
She had thought for a long time about how to deal with the large number of fake monks in Xirong. She had previously felt that fakes were not as good as real monks. Gu pills had a shelf life, but if she delayed, Gumayan, located in the hinterland of the Western Desert, had been refining pills for supply. Medicine, Xirong can completely extend the front line, which is not beneficial to its own side.
After much thought, it is better to find ways to crack and compete instead of forcing it.
Qiong had never seen the actual method of cracking the poison pill, and he could not figure it out even after scratching his head. He thought to himself: The Xie family is from a poison-refining family. After knowing the existence of this thing, they will definitely find a way to figure it out, so I don't need to bother.
As for countermeasures, she thought of the most effective and conservative method - the magic circle.
The formations used by the monks alone will definitely not be of much use when facing an army of ten thousand people, but the formations formed by the combined efforts of many people may be able to stop an army of ten thousand people.
The five clans major in swordsmanship, and there are more or less individual hall masters in the sect who focus on Dharma cultivation. Qiong Yi thought to himself: Waiting for the enemy with a formation is a way, but I don’t know how long it will take me to learn a large-scale Dharma formation. How can the front line be used? How long will it last? How far does Kun Zhai want to fight?
Time waits for no one. From then on, Qiong also stayed in the sect, studying the magic formations hard while practicing swordsmanship on weekdays.
At first, she couldn't even read a single magic talisman. Under the recommendation of her senior brother, Qiong Yi went to find a reclusive hall master under her sect named Nangong Li, holding a large stack of formation diagrams.
Nangong Li was indifferent by nature. He didn't react when he knew that Xirong was causing chaos in the border area. He directly rejected Qiong Yi. Qiong Yi had no choice but to go to the mountain where she lived every day, give her food and tea made by Zhu Yunluo, and persistently ask her questions about her doubts. At this time, Nangong Li couldn't get rid of the plaster, so he had to admit it. Qiong Yi also gradually started to practice Dharma.
The first thing she learned was the sword formation.
Deep in the Baishi Cliff, Qiong Yi twisted his skills to cast a spell, using the Xinge Sword as the core of the formation. A circle of light suddenly appeared under his feet, and then, thousands of swords fired in unison, like a long dragon emerging from the water, with great power.
However, the energy consumption was also huge. Just a small sword formation almost used up all her energy. When he thought about it again at night, Qiong also began to use the formation talisman to reduce the consumption of spiritual power.
Sure enough, with the blessing of the formation talisman, the energy consumption was halved and the effect was great. She stayed up all night for several days to learn the next formation, the Sky Fire Formation. It is a simple magic circle based on the Five Elements Technique. It is not difficult and has remarkable effects.
Then, she started to use some more difficult formations, but problems frequently occurred.
For Yu Qiongyi, the most difficult thing about the magic circle is not the recitation of formulas or the control of Qi, but that every time you learn a new magic circle, you must calculate the usefulness of the talisman. The layers are added up, and the more complex they are, the more complex they are in large-scale This is especially true for formations.
Qiong would sometimes make mistakes in calculations, causing the magic circle to collapse. Nangong Li saw this and said coldly: "I can't even understand the calculations. One small mistake, every step is wrong. Can you, this stupid person, learn to count?" Why bother researching these.
Qiong Yi just bowed and put away the drawings, said goodbye to her, and silently returned to Yinyi Garden, immersed in calculations.
She knew that Nangong Li had no obligation to help her verify which talisman was wrong, she only needed to see the results.
I really don’t understand.
Qiong Yi checked the loopholes in the magic circle bit by bit under the flickering candlelight. She knew that no one except Sheng Xuanyuan could be so patient with a math idiot to make calculations.
During the days when she was losing her hair and learning formation techniques, the harsh winter passed quickly.
The person who always accompanies Qiong Yifu is Lu Li, who is not very good at arithmetic. These two people are always scolded by Nangong Li, who rushes down the mountain. Lu Li is very broken: "Senior sister, I think you want to It is simply impossible to build a large formation capable of protecting the city in a short period of time..."
Qiong Yi smiled bitterly: "However, it is impossible to learn other people's large-scale formation spells and preside over the formation in a short period of time."
"With seniors like Hall Master Nangong here, even if you, senior sister, do make some formations, they won't be of much use, right?"
Qiong also knew that Lu Li's words had some truth, but she didn't want to be poured cold water on her: "Stop talking sarcastically and leave me alone."
"Senior sister, you are a stubborn ass."
Qiong Yi kicked him away: "Get out."
The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the situation in Western Xinjiang is becoming more and more stalemate. Qiong Yi hopes that before the war situation collapses, he can really write a formation that can be combined by multiple people.
But before she could write it out, Xirong had already captured the second low pass on the border, the Containment Pass.
I heard Lu Yuhao say: "Those Rong people are possessed by demons. They are too troublesome and cannot be stopped by ordinary disciples. They seem to be becoming more ferocious and stronger day by day. If this continues, it is really unimaginable."
Qiong Yi felt a little cold in her heart.
On this day, Lu Bin, who had been working outside for a long time, finally returned to Guangyang. He looked at the few disciples under his name who were still in the inner sect, and was filled with emotions. He heard that Qiong Yi was learning the magic circle, so he just asked her : "Xiao Wu, do you know how long it takes for someone who can preside over a large formation to learn the formation spell?"
Qiong Yi naturally knew, she said: "Returning to Master, usually takes three to five years or more."
"Hall Master Nangong has told me about your study. It is certainly a good idea for you to have this idea. We have discussed it among the five clans. The elders who major in formations will all go to Lishan Pass. Now the Rong people are If you can't attack them, you can just practice your sword in peace."
Lishan Mountain is already the third pass. The pass is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, two passes and several cities can be captured. How can one feel at ease?
Nangong Li, the only person in the sect who could guide Qiong Yi, was invited down the mountain and left Guangyang. After that, no one could help her solve her doubts. Qiong Yi still refused to give up, practicing and learning formation spells at the same time.
She sent more and more letters to Sheng Xuanyuan, but she never received a reply.
The ground outside the window begins to become dense, the branches are lush, the temperature is getting warmer, and half a year has passed, and it is already early summer.
Except for that weird dream, Qiong Yi hadn't seen Sheng Xuanyuan for a whole year.

Qiong also felt that his thinking had fallen into a dead end when it came to the formation.
So, she completely withdrew from the talismans and spells, and went to the mountains to listen to the wind for several days.
Sitting on the cliff, Qiong Yi raised her hands to gather her energy. The wind condensation technique was no longer a spherical object, but a shape that truly followed her heart, either flowing or still. She felt the shape of the wind she manipulated, and thought : This skill should also be renamed. It is not the wind condensation skill, but the wind control skill.
How strange. Qiong also thought to herself: Exposing true energy can control objects, and it can also transform into wind. However, it is wind that is transformed from the outside. Its essence is internal, not the natural air flow that I control.
Each spell section of a large formation is created from the inside out, and the center of the formation is determined by the person in charge. How can it be made simpler?
Qiong also started thinking about these things for no reason. She recalled the grand formation she had drawn before. The spells for each formation all started from the most basic chanting spell. Therefore, if she wanted to launch the grand formation, she would need the cooperation of the sect disciples. To practice cooperation, you need high-quality spiritual stones as the activation core.
So if these spells are based on minor spells that every clan knows, wouldn't it directly remove the threshold?
For example, everyone among the foundation-building monks knows the Five Elements Technique.
Treating each different monk as an individual, they can only unify the magic symbols to maintain the formation. If the monks were unified, wouldn't the calculation of a large number of magic symbols not be so complicated?
Qiong Yi suddenly had an idea. He slapped his head and Qinggong jumped down from the cliff. Yu Jian returned to the garden, pushed the door open and started writing furiously at his desk.
She stayed up all night and wrote until dawn the next day. She actually researched a large magic circle, which was based on the template of the classic sect formation. The spell formula needs to be improved, but the most important thing is that even if it is an unsuccessful construction Even those who have only practiced a little bit of zhenqi can enter the formation as long as the five elements are consistent with the nature of the formation.
In the following days, Qiong also continued to rewrite according to this idea, correcting loopholes and deploying many formations. She personally invited the junior brothers and sisters from the outer sect to try it out, and the effect was much better than she imagined. Even if she went to the front line, compared with the formations that had already faced Xirong, they were all different.
*
On the last day before the summer solstice, Qiong Yi finally received a letter from Sheng Xuanyuan.
They finally came out of the "Kawaze" forbidden area. When the three of them came out, they realized that the situation in the outside world had changed and the war was in chaos.
Sheng Xuanyuan's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was more than one level higher. He was nearing the end of the "Transformation Realm" stage. He returned to Bai Feng Mountain, and after discussing with his two brothers, he volunteered to be sent to the front line of the Western Territory.
Luo Yao's current situation is not good. The evil spirits that have been faintly leaking out before have already made it clear that the seventy-two mace nails will no longer be able to suppress the ghost energy in the ground. Therefore, between choosing to suppress the ghosts or go to the west to fight against the army, Sheng Xuanyuan chose Go to the west.
Because on the way, he can take a long detour to see himself.
Qiong also read this and shook his head helplessly, but he smiled.
In the letter, Sheng Xuanyuan also mentioned the map of the Western Region and the Gu Pill, which made Qiong Yi suddenly realize that only then could he be sure that the Yingxue was really not a dream.
She wrote back: Just waiting for you to come.

After coming out of the secret realm, Su Ye was the most shocked by the sudden war. It seemed that the nightmare was about to come true.
Due to their weak fighting power and the poor health of their sect leader, the Su clan was the clan that sent the least number of disciples to the west for support, even less than some small sects and sects that were dependent on the five clans.
Due to the war, the world was not at peace, and there was no news about the governor's assessment. Yan Ting was deeply invited by Su Ye and stayed in the Su family's house as a guest.
Su Ye originally wanted to take his disciples to the Western Desert for reinforcements, but seeing that his father's health was deteriorating day by day, he was forced to stay in the house. Under Su Liming's discipline and Yan Tingshen's help, he resumed his studies step by step. The art of governing.
Everything is developing towards a nightmare.
Su Ye gritted his teeth, but he was helpless.
"The author has something to say:...well, programmer Xiaoqiong."
