"Very surprised?"
Senior Brother Peng Zhengqing next to him seemed to have noticed Xu Ke's doubts and said with a smile: "You help me set up the formation. You are indispensable for successfully setting up the formation in advance and successfully repelling a wave of beasts. Of course you have military exploits." .”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Peng."
Xu Ke quickly thanked Peng Zhengqing, knowing that this military achievement must have been given to him by Peng Zhengqing.
It is so comfortable to hang out with the technicians and take advantage of the opportunity to fish, which is both safe and rewarding.
In the next few days, everything was calm in Xishan Col.
Except for repelling a wave of beasts on the first day, no large wave of beasts came for three consecutive days.
Together, Xu Ke and Peng Zhengqing successfully connected the defense line on the top of Xishan Col with the Five Elements Formation arranged inside the col.
During this period, Xu Ke also gained a level by the way.
That's right, Xu Ke has reached the seventh level of Qi training and has entered the late stage of Qi training.
At this point, the large formation at Xishan Col has covered the defense line on the top of the mountain.
The large formation did not launch an attack, but with the blessing, the small wave of beasts could not get close at all, and was killed by the monks stationed on the defense line on the top of the mountain.
While cleaning the battlefield, the stationed monks happily harvested various animal materials and calculated how much money they had made this time. They were all very happy.
Xu Ke picked up an animal horn and looked at it. He felt the impurity of spiritual power in the horn and frowned slightly.
Isn't this thing just like the beasts that Gao Zhengzheng used to lose money?
The material is full of impurity spiritual energy, which will interfere with the normal operation of spiritual energy, and is not suitable for use as materials.
but……
Xu Ke followed his original idea and accurately manipulated the Corruption Technique. With a flash of dark green light, he actually removed the impurities inside.
This is unreasonable!
At the beginning, Xu Ke's understanding of magic was still very shallow, and he didn't think there was any problem with using corruption to remove these impurities.
Now it seems that this is really unreasonable.
According to Xu Ke's understanding, the corruption technique is a function that accelerates the decomposition of decay.
Even if you have practiced the corruption technique to the limit, the essence of the spell will not change. It only takes effect on certain specific substances, such as ordinary vegetation, manure, and inanimate flesh and bones, and even some inanimate objects.
The reason why the Corruption Technique works when beating people is because Xu Ke beats Qi Practitioners.
Qi-training monks are not yet able to live without grains, and there is a material basis in their bodies that allows the corruption technique to take effect.
If used to deal with foundation-building monks who can live without grains, it will be completely ineffective. Let’s not talk about the resistance of the foundation-building monks. There is no feces in their stomachs, how can they be corrupted?
Therefore, it is outrageous that the Corruption Technique can now be used to remove impurity spiritual energy from animal materials.
Those impurities are not manure, so how can they be decomposed?
unless……
A strange idea came to Xu Ke's mind.
Could it be that these impurities are the feces emitted by some kind of creature?
This is even more outrageous.
All the beasts in the Hengduan Mountains would be so suffocated that they would have no choice but to escape from the Hengduan Mountains, and all the beasts would be corroded and polluted. Is there such an outrageous excrement smell?
Or... is this just a fart?
A fart spread over the entire Hengduan Mountains and infected all the countless beasts in the Hengduan Mountains. What an outrageous fart is this?
This is simply... outrageous. Open the door for outrageousness. It's so outrageous!
Xu Ke shook his head, even he thought this guess was too incredible.
Forget it, there's no need to get to the bottom of it, as long as the corruption technique works.
Moreover, since the sect is organizing people to collect animal materials, the sect boss must have discovered that the corruption technique can remove impurities in the materials.
With the sect boss here, it's not my turn to worry about this matter.
Xu Ke put away the cleaned horn material and didn't think much about this issue.
——
Haoyang Mountain.
In the Haoyang Hall at the top of the peak, Master Mingyang, the headmaster of the Haoyang Immortal Sect, was sitting on top of the hall, with a group of elders and hall masters sitting below.
"Junior Brother Mingyuan, have you ever found a way to remove impurities from those animal materials?"
The real head master looked up at the master of the weapon refining hall below and asked.
"Brother Headmaster, it's not impossible to remove impurities..."
The Master of the Refining Palace cupped his hands, "If I use the Great Sun Furnace method and cast the True Fire of the Sun, with careful control, I can burn away those impurities."
Having said this, the Master of the Refining Hall sighed, "But... the gains outweigh the losses! The true fire of the sun consumes a lot of money, and the pills I took to restore my spiritual power are more valuable than the animal materials I processed!"
The headmaster also sighed helplessly.
Sun True Fire, even Jindan Zhenren has to consume most of his spiritual power to cast it once. It is really not worth the gain when used to deal with animal materials.
Turning to look at the master of Fulu Palace, the master was about to ask.
"Brother Headmaster, I have also found a way to remove impurities, but the gain outweighs the loss."
The Master of Fulu Hall shook his head, "Using Qingming Spiritual Water, you can wash away impurities. But... a drop of Qingming Spiritual Water is worth more than ten thousand pieces of animal materials, but it can only refine ten pieces of animal materials at most. Too much It’s no longer worth it!”
"well……"
The real headmaster sighed, "We won no profit at all from this battle. It's such a loss!"
After sighing, the master leader asked again: "What happened in the Hengduan Mountains? Why did all the beasts inside escape? And, where did these impurities of spiritual power come from?"
"The guardian elder is investigating."
The master of the Hall of Transmission replied, "Because there is a Golden Core Demon King in the Hengduan Mountains, the flying boat warships do not dare to get too close. The guardian elder can only enter the Hengduan Mountains to investigate alone, and no news has been sent back yet."
"It's not an option to spend so much time."
The head master shook his head, "If you fight for one more day, you will lose one day's money. If you continue to waste it, the sect's wealth will be depleted. Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to train the disciples, but now it seems that it is not necessary."
Having said this, the master master stood up and said, "Elder Kaogong and the master of the Formation Hall are here to guard the sect in case of any unexpected events. All other junior brothers, please go deep into Hengduan Mountain with me and put an end to the beast tide in one fell swoop."
"Follow the law!"
Everyone bowed to accept the order.
——
Xu Ke and Peng Zhengqing are arranging formation nodes to connect the formation in Xishan Col and the formation in Heilongling.
According to the order of the guardian elder, all formations along the entire defense line must be connected to form a whole to further enhance the power of the formations.
Xishan'ao and Heilongling started construction on both sides at the same time. The nodes used to connect the formations were laid one by one, and the troops from both sides met at the center line.
"Junior Brother Xu?"
Xu Ke had just reached the midline position when a call came from the front.
Looking up, Gao Zhengzheng and Zhao Qingshan suddenly appeared among the formation personnel on the opposite side.
That's all Zhao Qingshan, he is from Fulu Palace and knows some skills. Gao Zhengzheng, you, a guy who doesn't even do his job in farming, actually got into the revolutionary ranks?
"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Brother Zhao!"
Xu Ke smiled and waved, didn't say much, and had to continue working.
After the two sides merged, the formation nodes were connected to each other, a spiritual light lit up, and the two formations were officially connected.
By this time, Xu Ke also understood why Peng Zhengqing wanted to set up the Five Elements Formation in Xishan Col, because there was also a Five Elements Formation here in Heilongling, and even the formations on the entire front were all Five Elements Formation.
This is because the Five Elements Formation has relatively high universality and is more suitable for the interconnection between formations.
After the formation is connected, it still needs to be debugged. Peng Zhengqing needs to have a "conversation between technicians" with the person in charge of the formation in Heilongling.
Xu Ke was about to learn from his master, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity.
So, everyone entered the Black Dragon Ridge together.
"Junior Brother Xu, let's go have a drink."
After finishing the work and having some free time, Gao Zhengzheng invited Xu Ke to have a drink with him.
"You guys go first, I'll come back later!"
Xu Ke pointed at Peng Zhengqing in front of him and said, "I'll go there with Senior Brother Peng first and come back after I finish my work."
The two formation masters are exchanging skills. What are you doing with them?
Do you understand those words like "First Yao, Second Yao, Change of Hexagram, Reciprocal Hexagram"?
Gao Zhengzheng rolled his eyes and didn't say much. He just said, "I'll definitely come back later" and left with Zhao Qingshan.
"Junior Brother Xu, you don't actually need to follow me."
Peng Zhengqing looked back at Xu Ke, "This is the Black Dragon Ridge station. It's very safe. You can go have a drink with them!"
"Since the sect ordered me to protect Senior Brother Peng, of course I will be wherever Senior Brother Peng is."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "You can drink at any time, no less than this time."
Peng Zhengqing smiled and nodded, and without saying much, he took Xu Ke and walked toward the altar of the Black Dragon Ridge Formation.
After entering the altar, the two technicians began to communicate.
Various terms such as "First Yao", "Second Yao", "Changing Gua", "Mutual Gua", various Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Ziwei Dou Shu, and Plum Blossoms Easy Count came out one after another from their mouths.
If another person heard this, such as Gao Zhengzheng, he would be confused and bewildered on the spot.
But Xu Ke is different.
The Xuanmen magic has exceeded the limit and turned into a talent: Dayan Divine Calculation, which allowed Xu Ke to master these Xuanmen magic very profoundly.
Coupled with the knowledge of runes obtained from analyzing the spells, Xu Ke was able to understand the essence of the operation of the formation by analogy.
In the past few days, Xu Ke followed Peng Zhengqing in setting up the formation, and also gained a deeper understanding of the formation.
At this moment, I heard the conversation between Peng Zhengqing and the Black Dragon Ridge formation master. I heard them each telling various data about the formation and discussing how to adjust the formation so that the two large formations would run more smoothly after being connected in series.
After hearing the core data of these formations, and based on his own knowledge, Xu Ke quickly figured out the formation and driving methods of the Five Elements Array.
"Five Elements Formation: Getting Started!"
Hehe, I have learned another skill.
It just so happens that there is still a "hundred-fold harvest" that has not been used up today, so I will add it to the formation first.
With just one thought, you will be rewarded a hundredfold.
"Five Elements Formation: Mastery!"
Senior Brother Peng, my attainments in the Five Elements Formation are probably no worse than yours.
How many years have you studied? I only need a few days!
Just when Xu Ke was secretly happy, he suddenly saw a violent spiritual disturbance emerging from the sky in front of him.
Through the qi-gazing technique, Xu Ke saw a dazzling fire.
The fire spiritual power and the light spiritual power were highly condensed, as if they had turned into rounds of scorching sun. In the dazzling firelight, there seemed to be a golden crow spreading its wings and soaring. The flames of light were overwhelming, causing the spiritual energy of the surrounding world to vibrate violently.
Such overwhelming power makes people shudder even when looking at it from a distance.
Is this... the sect boss coming?
Seeing the obvious characteristics of the Great Sun and the Golden Crow, Xu Ke immediately thought that this must be the arrival of a sect leader.
With such power, he must be Master Jin Dan.
So many golden elixir masters? The strength of Haoyang Immortal Sect is stronger than I imagined!
But why did the sect boss suddenly come to the front line? What happened?
Xu Ke never imagined that this was simply because the headmaster felt that this battle was too costly and too costly, and wanted to end this war as soon as possible without any gains.
The firelight flying from the sky is getting closer and closer.
Everyone on the entire front noticed this scene and raised their heads in surprise.
In everyone's surprised gazes, the sect bosses who flew through the air did not stop, but directly crossed the defense line and flew rapidly towards the Hengduan Mountains.
Is this... heading towards the Hengduan Mountains?
Xu Ke secretly guessed that the sect leader might have discovered the reason for the strange change in the beast tide, and was preparing to wipe out Hengduan Mountain in one fell swoop and end the war.
Of course it would be best to end this war as soon as possible.
I just want to practice quietly. Fighting will waste too much time on practice.
——
The head master led seven palace masters and a group of eight Jindan masters, and entered Hengduan Mountain with great momentum.
Among these seven palace masters, Master Minghong, the master of Sinong Palace, was naturally not included. It can be seen from the title that the Master only builds the foundation, and the real person is the golden elixir.
This is also the reason why Sinong Palace is in a weak position in the sect. Among the palace masters of the major palaces and pavilions, only the master of Sinong Palace is not a golden elixir, how can he be so stubborn?
After the leader and his party entered Hengduan Mountain, they were all cautious and on guard.
In their opinion, such a massive attack into Hengduan Mountain must have attracted the attention of the Golden Core Demon Kings of Hengduan Mountain, and they would definitely come to intercept and kill them.
But...until the leader and others entered Hengduan Mountain thousands of miles away, they did not encounter any obstruction, let alone any interception.
This is puzzling.
"Everyone, be careful! The reaction of the demon kings is very abnormal."
The master's expression became serious, and he suddenly felt that this sudden attack by all the masters of the sect seemed a bit hasty.
The Jindan Demon King is no less intelligent than humans, and he is also very good at playing tricks, but he cannot be fooled by these demon kings.
Everyone moved forward cautiously, being on high alert all the way.
However... until everyone arrived at the lair of a demon king, nothing happened.
"Strange! I can't sense the aura of Qingsi Demon King."
The headmaster frowned tightly, "The demon king is not in his lair? Where has he gone? Is it to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Are they going to raid the sect's headquarters or the defense line?"
The master's face changed, and he quickly summoned the elder Kaogong who was stationed in the sect and the master of Sinong Hall who was stationed on the defense line to inquire.
The elder Kao Gong reported that everything was normal at the sect station.
Master Sinong Palace also reported that everything at the garrisoned defense line was normal.
This is even more confusing!
"Master of the Dharma Hall, please contact the elder who protects the Dharma!"
The real person in charge gave an order to the master of the Dharma transmission hall.
The master of the Dharma Transfer Hall quickly used the messenger talisman to send a message to the Dharma Protector Elder, but... there was no reply.
There was no news from the guardian elder who went to Hengduan Mountain alone to investigate.
"Something is wrong!"
The master's expression changed, "The Protector Elder didn't respond. This is abnormal. Everyone, please be careful, the Protector Elder may have been trapped."
"clear!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"keep going!"
The real master waved his hand and led everyone deeper into Hengduan Mountain.
