the next day.
Zhang Yao controlled the flying sword and turned into a stream of cyan light, leaving Mangshanfang City.
After opening the shop for many years, he has accumulated a lot of wealth because he does not need to spend spiritual stones and elixirs to practice, and has replaced his flying swords with high-end products.
He went all the way west, heading straight to Huanhe Mountain in the west of Li Kingdom, where a miniature spiritual vein was located.
"Huanhe Mountain..."
Zhang Yao was galloping all the way, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"I remember that the Huanhe Mountain Spirit Vein was previously occupied by the Fang family, right?"
"Now that the people have changed, the Fang family will most likely be in trouble, and the end will be bad..."
When he thought about this, he didn't care too much.
The ups and downs in the world of cultivating immortals are really normal. Even a foundation-building level force can hardly last long.
"boom!"
A green stream of light cuts through the sky.
Zhang Yao deliberately controlled his speed, and after several hours, he managed to cross more than a thousand miles and arrived at Huanhe Mountain in the west of Li Kingdom.
The Huang family, which now occupies Huanhe Mountain, noticed the movement of Feijian Escape, and someone immediately came to greet them.
Several rays of light came across the sky, led by the pudgy old man from yesterday.
"Elder Huang clan."
"Master Zhang, you are here, please come quickly."
Under the enthusiastic leadership of several members of the Huang family, Zhang Yao entered the Huanhe Mountain Spirit Vein Area.
The entire Huanhe Mountain Spirit Vein Area is larger than Wuyin Island, and is dotted with various palaces and houses, many of which are newly built.
There are about dozens of immortal cultivators in the entire Huang family, including men, women, old and young. The leader is an old man who has perfected Qi refining, but he is in retreat and is currently in charge of several clan elders.
"The aura environment here is pretty good..."
Zhang Yao felt the spiritual energy surrounding the mountain's spiritual veins and nodded secretly.
Although they are all micro spiritual veins, after all, they are in Li Kingdom, the overall environment is better, and the spiritual energy is naturally much more abundant than Tiandu Mountain and Wuyin Island.
There are still twenty or thirty micro spiritual veins like this in the Li Kingdom, and they are all occupied by various small sects and aristocratic families.
"Master Zhang, please take a seat!"
Several elders of the Huang family specially held a banquet to honor Zhang Yao.
At the banquet, after enjoying a lot of pill pills, jade dew, spiritual fruit wine, several people mentioned the origin of the Huang family in casual chat.
"oh?"
Zhang Yao looked a little surprised: "So your family comes from Weiguo?"
"right."
An elder of the Huang family with a thick beard drank a glass of wine and said casually:
"Actually, there's nothing to hide."
"Our Huang family comes from the Jingu Sect. The old man in our family is the law enforcement elder of the Jingu Sect. He used to be considered a high-ranking official."
"It's just that the Jingu Sect has fallen into disgrace, so we can only lead our descendants to leave their hometown and come to the Li Kingdom to take root..."
The short and fat old man beside him couldn't help but sigh, put down his wine glass and said:
"Decades ago, who could have imagined that we would be facing the situation we are facing today..."
After hearing their stories, Zhang Yao slowly understood:
Decades ago, Tianbao Tower's recruitment order shocked the immortal cultivation world in the southwestern countries, and a lot of chaos broke out.
The chaos in the immortal world of Weiguo also started because of this.
After Qian Le, several major forces in the Wei Kingdom searched for him for several years. Finally, relying on the strength of their numbers, the casual cultivator alliance found another mortal with five spiritual roots.
Several major forces coveted this mortal. After several rounds of games, a head-on conflict broke out. In a chaotic battle, the eyes were red, which ignited the fuse of a full-scale war. The situation was out of control. .
After more than ten years of fighting:
The Loose Cultivator Alliance collapsed, the Qinglian Sect was destroyed, and the Ouyang Family, Chu Family, and Jingu Sect were all severely damaged.
Ten years later, the Ouyang family, who was in charge of Qingyunfang City, and the Chu family had internal strife. The Ouyang family kept it secret. At the most critical moment, a second foundation-building monk suddenly appeared and wiped out the Chu family in one fell swoop.
At this point, the world of Immortal Cultivation in Weiguo has officially entered into a battle between two powerful powers.
However, this situation did not last long. The Jingu Sect suffered too many casualties in the war, resulting in a shortage of upper-level forces.
Half a year ago, the only foundation-building monk of the Jingu Sect died of old age. The entire sect quickly fell apart. The major factions and families divided up the sect's inheritance and all ran away.
"I see……"
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly and he said:
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a big change in the world of Immortal Cultivation in Weiguo..."
The origin of the Huang family relieved one of his doubts.
The Jingu Sect is a foundation-building sect, and the entire sect specializes in the Golden Walking Technique. It is extremely normal for the sect to stock up on the Golden Walking Spiritual Items in advance.
This part of the golden spiritual objects, including Tianyi Jinshui, probably fell into the hands of the Huang family when the inheritance was divided.
Zhang Yao pondered for a moment and said:
"So, the Ouyang family is now the dominant one in the world of immortality cultivation in Weiguo?"
"That's not true."
Another clan elder shook his head and said:
"A few years ago, a foreign foundation-building monk came out of the blue, and once again gathered many casual cultivators, small families, and small sects, and established an alliance."
"This Foundation Establishment monk is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. The Ouyang family is not sure of dealing with him. At present, the two families can barely maintain a balance of power."
Zhang Yao nodded slightly, not surprised.
The various organizations in the world of immortality are fundamentally different from the mortal courts, government, gangs and other organizations.
The former is due to people and the latter is due to circumstances.
Except for families connected by blood, some sects and loose alliances are largely the private property of high-level monks, tools used to help their own cultivation.
The same is true for the Wanhe Alliance, and the same is true for the new alliance to defend the country. The power itself is not important, but the person who controls it is important.
…………
After the reception banquet, Zhang Yao started busy work.
The large formation that covers the entire spiritual vein ground is a typical composite formation, which is a great test for the array master's formation methods.
First of all, it is necessary to measure the spiritual veins and determine the nodes where the spiritual energy gathers. This is the foundation of the formation.
Secondly, it is necessary to plan the layout of the formations in advance and use a series of nesting methods to make different formations into a whole.
Finally, it is time to actually lay down the materials, build the formation, and complete the entire composite formation bit by bit.
Not to mention that this process takes a long time, the remuneration of the formation master and the materials for laying the formation are all huge costs. Most small families and small sects simply do not have the ability to set up the mountain gate formation.
More than two months later.
"Well, the laying is basically completed..."
Zhang Yao was checking the progress of the formation in the spiritual veins of Huanhe Mountain, showing a trace of satisfaction.
For more than two months, he has lived in the spiritual vein of Huanhe Mountain. The treatment provided by the Huang family is very good and the service is very considerate.
The entire Huang family's monks were busy under his command, and several clan elders worked hard without complaint. Only in this way could the progress of the formation formation be pushed to the end in a short period of time.
"In three days, the work will be over."
"I've been waiting for Tianyi Golden Water for almost ten years, and I'm finally getting it..."
Zhang Yao was in a very good mood.
Array Master is a typical high-end job, a head-first job.
Only after you have mastered the first-level formations to an extremely proficient level and are qualified to set up spirit gathering formations and composite formations, will someone come to invite you to set up formations.
This kind of proficiency, if replaced by Zhang Yao's panel progress, is estimated to be above 90%.
There are probably more than five fingers of people with this level in the entire Li Kingdom cultivation world. However, only formation masters of this level can earn spiritual stones.
Therefore, array masters are either impoverished apprentices or well-paid masters, with no middle class at all.
"Driving, early warning, trapping, enchanting, protecting, killing, gathering souls, locking souls..."
Zhang Yao checked carefully and confirmed that there were no problems with the formations in the surrounding mountain spiritual veins.
The entire formation is made up of eight different formations that are nested and combined with each other. The connection structure between each other is very precise, and any slight change will result in failure.
However, with his knowledge of formations and formation methods, the probability of an accident is still very small.
"Old from the four tribes."
Zhang Yao found the short, fat old man and said in a deep voice:
"The formation of the mountain gate of Huanhe Mountain is basically completed."
"The small spirit gathering formation is the core of this formation. I have laid out the materials, but there is still one thing missing..."
As he spoke, he took out a translucent jade pillar and handed it over:
"This is the core center for controlling the formation, and now it is handed over to you."
"According to the rules of our industry, the laws and prohibitions in this core center are all set by the customers themselves. It is inconvenient for us to interfere."
"Three days later, I will officially activate the formation. You need to complete the arrangement of the core magic prohibitions during this period."
"clear!"
Hearing this, the short and fat old man quickly took the translucent jade pillar and said with a smile:
"Master Zhang, don't worry, we all understand the rules."
The Mountain Gate Formation is related to the life and death of one's family. It can be said to be the lifeblood of the family.
No matter how good the reputation of the formation master is, it is impossible to leave it to the other party, so the most important core center of the ban is done by oneself.
In the long inheritance of the world of cultivating immortals, universal rules have long been formed subtly.
It is impossible for a family or sect that can afford to hire a formation master to arrange the mountain gate formation for itself without knowing any knowledge about spiritual patterns and formations.
"Well, then as soon as possible."
Zhang Yao nodded slightly.
After the two exchanged a few words, the short and fat old man left in a hurry, obviously wanting to hand over the central core to the old man of the Huang family.
"This thing is just to fool laymen..."
Zhang Yao looked at his back and shook his head secretly.
This is like changing a lock in the mortal world, saying that the keys are given to you. In fact, if you really want to enter your house, there are many ways.
As an array mage who had laid out and constructed a large array with one hand, he was well aware of the spirit pattern formations in all places, and could sneak into Huanhe Mountain quietly without disturbing the central magic ban.
Therefore, slightly larger forces will train their own formation masters, so that they can be completely assured and eliminate hidden dangers.
"The Huang family may not know this truth, but they have no choice."
"It is better to have formation protection, early warning, and blocking than no formation. The unlucky Fang family may be learning from the past..."
As long as they don't offend the formation master, they won't sneak into the arranged formation without any problem.
After all, once such a thing is discovered, the formation mage will basically be ruined.
…………
Three days flew by.
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by a buzzing and trembling sound, the formation that enveloped the entire Huanhe Mountain Spiritual Veins was officially activated.
A faint purple brilliance rose up, like wisps of light smoke, floating in the sky above Huanhe Mountain.
"Success!"
There was a smile on Zhang Yao's face.
Many monks from the Huang family on the side were also happy, and several clan elders breathed a sigh of relief.
With the protection of the formation, even if they are besieged by several monks who have perfected their Qi refining, they will have enough time to evacuate and escape, and their safety will be greatly improved.
It can be said that with this formation, the Huang family has truly taken root in the world of immortality cultivation in Li Kingdom.
"Master Zhang, thank you very much!"
"Yes, Master Zhang's hard work has paid off!"
A group of Huang family monks gathered around him, looking very grateful.
"Don't take it seriously. This is Zhang's responsibility."
Zhang Yao's attitude was very humble.
"Master Zhang, please come with me..."
Several clan elders laughed and invited Zhang Yao aside and took out the rewards they had prepared long ago.
"These are one hundred spiritual stones and Tianyi Golden Water. Please count them, Master Zhang."
The short, fat old man handed over a storage bag.
Zhang Yao's eyes lit up, he took the storage bag, his mana flowed into it, and his thoughts swept through it.
In the storage bag: One hundred spirit stones are neatly placed, and there is also a special round vessel that looks like a basin.
The 'water basin' is black in color and made of some special stone. Inside is a pure golden liquid, like golden mercury.
"Sure enough, it's Tianyi Jinshui."
After Zhang Yao confirmed that it was correct, he took back his magic power and showed a smile.
After a while, Zhang Yao enjoyed his last farewell banquet under the warm hospitality of the elders of the Huang family and hurriedly left Huanhe Mountain.
After escaping all the way back to Mangshanfang City, Zhang Yao couldn't wait to return to the cave, hung up a sign that the door was closed and thanked guests, and entered the meditation room.
In the quiet room, Zhang Yao took off his robe, naked body, and sat cross-legged on the futon.
The black stone vessel on the side contained a full twenty taels of Tianyi Gold Water, emitting a faint golden light.
"call……"
Zhang Yao took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
"let's start!"
As soon as the thought moves, the magic power responds.
The magic power in the Qi veins flows out, driving a trace of Tianyi golden water to fall on the surface of Zhang Yao's skin.
At this moment, the magic power continued to change, fixing Tianyi's golden water into the shape of a secret spell.
"Bah!"
There was a sound like a soldering iron touching skin, Tianyi's golden water dissipated, and a golden secret spell appeared on Zhang Yao's chest.
Zhang Yao turned his mind again and continued to use magic power to connect the golden water from the sky, which fell continuously on his body surface, outlining different secret spells.
The Vajra Secret Mantra Formation is a bit more difficult than the Five Elements Spiritual Formation Formation.
But now that he possesses magical power and can move as he wishes, it is far easier than using his mind to control spiritual energy, so there is almost no chance of failure in engraving spiritual patterns.
As long as the materials are solved, the rest is smooth sailing.
A few days later.
In the quiet room, the golden light is dazzling and brilliant.
"Kengkeng..."
Zhang Yao smashed his fists against each other, making a sound like a heavy metal collision. His body seemed to have separated from the mortal body and turned into a golden Arhat body like vajra glass.
He shook his body and gathered his magic power. The golden light suddenly dissipated, and the three thousand six hundred secret spells also faded away.
"Done!"
Zhang Yao's face showed a trace of sincere joy.
He did not rush out of the seclusion, but sat down cross-legged, swallowed the spiritual energy, and attacked the seventh level of Qi refining.
"The great formation is complete, and we will break through to the late stage of Qi refining tonight!"
