Soon, Luo Xuan arrived.
"I've met the sect leader!"
Zhang Xiaosheng waved his hand and said:
"Has there been any movement from Fan Pan recently?"
"It's very peaceful. There's no movement. Maybe he's practicing."
"What about Bao Zhixing?"
"Bao Zhixing broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he celebrated a little with a few close friends, but he didn't mention Wuhen. I think he is so smart, he naturally knows the importance of this news, and will not speak carelessly. Say it. And..."
Luo Xuan paused and continued:
"Furthermore, I estimate that he doesn't even know who gave him the instructions, but he can only issue a mission to him with a trace of spiritual power, and he knows that Wuhen is the secret of Tianlinggen. He must have a high status in the sect. This kid I must have thought clearly about it, just to increase my goodwill."
Zhang Xiaosheng nodded slightly, which made sense. The little people at the bottom had no choice but to take risks if they wanted to overtake in corners.
Although he didn't know what kind of risk he was taking.
"I hope he won't make any mistakes again, otherwise I won't forgive him!"
Luo Xuan agreed:
"I will let Mingji keep an eye on it."
Zhang Xiaosheng looked at Luo Xuan, smiled and said:
"Elder Luo has been working hard recently, and I couldn't bear it, so I thought of a good way to contain Fan Pan."
Luo Xuan was instantly interested!
"We all thought wrong before. We thought that since we couldn't completely eliminate Fan Pan, we could only keep an eye on him. But Elder Luo, you also said that you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. If we can give the thief Wouldn't it be better to find something to do so that he has no time to steal?"
"Sect Master, don't whet my appetite!"
"Haha." Zhang Xiaosheng laughed loudly and continued:
"Previously, the sect's conference decided to close the mountain. I sent out resources in a big way, probably using 30% of the sect's reserves, right?"
Luo Xuan was startled and didn't know why the sect leader suddenly brought up this matter again, but he still nodded in response.
It was he who obtained the spirit stone, and he also gave it to him. It still hurts me to think about it now, but I have to say that the sect master has a long-term vision. Recently, the outer disciples have made breakthroughs many times. Three of the elders and deacons in the foundation-building period have also broken through to their original realm. And since that time It has only been more than four months since the conference.
There is still a year and a half left before the sect exchange conference, and I'm afraid there will be even more people making breakthroughs by then!
"I'm going to use another 40% of my resources to build a large spirit gathering array using 'Biyue Fuyao' as the base to assist all disciples of the sect in their cultivation. What do you think?"
"Biyue Fuyao" is one of the few top-quality magic weapons of the Five Elements Sect. It is an auxiliary magic weapon with very comprehensive performance, which can increase the effect of spells below the seventh level of the Golden Elixir by 10%.
This is true whether it is offensive spells, defensive spells or auxiliary spells.
The advantage is that it is comprehensive, but the disadvantage is that the improvement is too even because it is comprehensive. Compared with other magic weapons that simply increase the attack or defense effect by 30%, the gap is obvious.
However, Zhang Xiaosheng considered that it could increase the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array by 10% and save a lot of spirit stones. Moreover, the material of the top-grade magic weapon itself was very strong, so it was the most suitable one among the Five Elements Sect's magic weapons as the base of the formation.
It would be better if there was a magic weapon with a purely auxiliary nature to enhance spiritual energy, but it is a pity that the Five Elements Sect does not have one.
"Forty percent..." Luo Xuan smacked his tongue slightly. The sect leader really didn't leave any room.
Zhang Xiaosheng seemed to know what Luo Xuan was hesitating about, and said:
"It should be enough to leave 30% just in case. The purpose of this move is to speed up the cultivation of our Five Elements Sect disciples. The 40% resources, if we set up a spirit gathering array that increases the effect by 50%, will be enough to last for a year. If the ranking at the sect exchange conference cannot be among the top eighteen, then it will be useless to keep any number of spiritual stones, it will only delay for a few more days."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Luo Xuan knew that what the sect leader said was the truth.
"Secondly, it can make Fan Pan relax some of his inner defenses and think that we are really at the end of the road. Maybe he will not be so anxious to take risks and implement other conspiracies. However, the effect is difficult to evaluate. For the time being, it can be regarded as a backup. If it is available, it is good. If it is not available, it does not matter."
Luo Xuan was startled again. What does it mean to think? Aren't we really at the end of our rope?
Before he could think about it, Zhang Xiaosheng said again:
"It requires at least three golden elixirs to set up a large-scale spirit gathering array, right? Elder Zhou Dafeng is proficient in formations, so he is naturally the first choice. Elder Luo, since you have the highest cultivation level, is naturally one of them. As for the third candidate..."
"Elder Mu Yihu is about to break through to the sixth level, and he is a sure candidate to appear in the exchange conference. It makes sense for him to concentrate on practicing for a breakthrough, right? Elder Ning Xuan has died, and Hong Ya and Xu Jing are slightly lacking in strength, so Fan Pan is The only one left.”
"So the third time I came here was to find this job for Fan Pan. It takes more than half a year to set up a large spirit gathering array, and the maintenance of the array in the later period requires a Jindan elder to maintain it at all times. You are in charge of the sect's affairs, so naturally you can't maintain it. Then the most suitable candidate is Fan Pan."
"The Spirit Gathering Array has a large investment and a wide range. During the setting up and maintenance period, he must not dare to deliberately make mistakes, otherwise he will not be able to bear the backlash of the spirit array alone."
"Sect Master, will Fan Pan agree?"
"You take the sect leader's order, show it with emotion, and move it with reason. As long as he doesn't openly betray the sect right now, you won't be able to refuse."
"Sect Master's order?" Luo Xuan quickly waved his hand and said:
"Only the sect leader can hold the sect master's order. I forgive you for not daring to violate the rules."
"If you don't violate the rules, then who do you think can use the sect master's order?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked.
"The Sect Master's Order can naturally only be used by the Sect Master."
Luo Xuan replied.
"I am the sect master, what kind of sect master order do I want?" Zhang Xiaosheng said matter-of-factly.
This made Luo Xuan choke to death.
It makes so much sense!
What else does the sect master want from the sect master order?
"So, isn't the suzerain's order a token given by the suzerain to someone to temporarily execute the suzerain's rights?"
Perfect explanation!
"Sect Master... why don't you personally give the order?"
Luo Xuan finally came to his senses after a while.
Zhang Xiaosheng did not answer the question. He opened Liu Tianyu's storage bag, took out the sect leader's order and handed it to Luo Xuan.
Luo Xuan took it silently, he already felt that something might be wrong.
Zhang Xiaosheng didn't pay attention and casually explored the storage bag. No matter how poor the Five Elements Sect was, it was only poor compared to those second-rate top sects. His own family background was actually pretty good. Liu Tianyu himself has two top-grade magic weapons and several high-grade magic weapons, but the spirit stones are gone. They were all used up last time he treated Ning Xuan.
Zhang Xiaosheng was at the eighth level of foundation building at this time, and his aura and mental power were enough to protect the items in the storage bag from being damaged through the space channel connecting the storage bag to the outside world.
Of course, the space channel constructed between the storage bag and the outside world is very stable, so there is only a slight pressure, and there is no space cutting power. Otherwise, let alone the eighth floor of the foundation, even the eighth floor of the golden elixir would be destroyed in minutes.
After checking it casually, Zhang Xiaosheng continued:
"Xiao Dan will inevitably break through the ninth level earlier than Wuhen, but you need to tell her about the tenth level of Qi refining. After the breakthrough, stabilize the realm and do not break through to the foundation. The same is true for Wuhen. It will be easy to hone their spiritual energy by then. I want them to compete for points during the control and combat skills, sect exchange conference, and Qi refining period.”
"Sect Master...if they take action, I'm afraid the matter of Tianlinggen will not be hidden."
"I know...but every point is precious. If we can't get more points, then it doesn't matter whether we know it or not."
Right……
Zhang Xiaosheng continued:
"As for Luo Xin, I still have three top-grade Yuan Condensing Pills here. You can give them to him after he reaches the ninth level. I hope it will be helpful."
Luo Xuan was stunned. Do you have the best Yuan Ning Dan? Still three pills!
Sect Master, last time you went out, how much did you buy by chance?
There are a lot of spiritual stones in the sect. Where did the sect master get the spiritual stones to buy these precious elixirs?
Complaints are complaints. Listening to Zhang Xiaosheng explaining things one by one, Luo Xuan finally couldn't help but ask:
"Sect Master, you..."
"Elder Luo, what do you think is the strength of those who attack our sect?"
Luo Xuan temporarily put aside his doubts, thought carefully for a moment, and then said:
"If we look at the four golden elixirs that ambush and attack Elder Ning, we can see that Elder Ning was able to escape from the hands of four people. Presumably, the strength of those four people was very ordinary, but they were able to cleanly destroy the entire spiritual mine without leaving a single person alive. It seems that It’s so powerful that I can’t accurately judge it.”
Zhang Xiaosheng sighed slightly and said:
"If you think Elder Ning really escaped from the four opponents with his strength, then you have been fooled by them."
Luo Xuan frowned. Hearing what the sect master said...it was terrifying to think about it!
"Yes, they can destroy the entire spiritual mine and kill everyone in a short period of time, so they must be very powerful. But with such strength, Elder Ning still escaped after being ambushed. What does it mean?"
"It means they put Elder Ning back on purpose!"
Luo Xuan's hair suddenly stood up!
"They controlled Elder Ning's injuries very well and allowed him to fly back to the sect. After reporting the situation, he died of his injuries. Elder Ning brought back the news that the spiritual mine was destroyed, which will anger us for the first time. Knowing that the four Golden Cores were ambushed and escaped by Elder Ning made us despise them, and then Elder Ning died in front of us, which angered us for the second time!"
Luo Xuan suddenly felt a little scared. If the sect leader hadn't made it clear at this time, he might not have thought of this.
"I also ignored it at the time. After all, Elder Ning was saved by me. But if Elder Ning could not be saved at that time, we were angry, eager for revenge, and issued the sect's request for help. They must have been targeted long ago. Only then would we It is truly irreversible!”
"So, I ordered the sect to be closed because I don't want the enemy to be in the dark and we to be in the clear, so that we can only passively follow the plan they arranged. We must be surprised and buy time for the sect."
Luo Xuan looked at Zhang Xiaosheng at this moment, feeling lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he had a sect master, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous!
[Luo Xuan’s reputation +8000, loyalty 1000/1000]
[When the reputation value overflows, it will be automatically converted into reputation pill (100)*40]
Seeing the reputation value, Zhang Xiaosheng felt happy and continued:
"It has been more than four months since the sect was closed. They must have temporarily given up their follow-up plans, so I can leave the sect quietly at this time and go out to investigate the situation. Otherwise, even if the sect is opened, we will still be blind. , I don’t know anything, relying on Fan Pan alone is too passive!”
"Sect Master...you can't take risks yourself, it's too dangerous! If you..."
Zhang Xiaosheng rolled his eyes, you can't think of anything good! !
But Luo Xuan was caring, so he naturally didn't care. He sighed slightly and said leisurely:
"I am the leader of a sect of the Five Elements Sect. If I don't go to hell, who will!"
[Luo Xuan’s reputation +9000, loyalty 1000/1000]
[When the reputation value overflows, it will be automatically converted into reputation pill (100)*45]
"metropolitan!!!"
Luo Xuan couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, he was so excited!
Zhang Xiaosheng coughed lightly and said:
"While I am away from the sect, Elder Luo will carry out the orders of the sect leader and exercise the authority of the sect leader. This is a heavy responsibility, and I can only entrust it to you!"
"Luo would rather die than let down the sect master's trust!"
"Live well and wait for me to come back!" Zhang Xiaosheng gave Luo Xuan a rare pat on the shoulder and said.
"Send...sect leader!" Luo Xuan clasped his fists, saluted, and bowed!
Zhang Xiaosheng was startled, what should I give him? The matter is not over yet.
"Ahem... Elder Luo, I'm not leaving now. You have to follow me to the sect's treasure house. Otherwise, even if you have the sect master's order, I'm afraid Senior Brother Han who is stationed here won't let you take out the Bi Yue Fuyao' and a full 40% of the spiritual stone."
"Yes, I was negligent!"
After this interruption, Luo Xuan calmed down a bit.
The two came to the sect's treasure house. Luo Xuan took out the formation plate again and opened the formation. After Ning Xuan saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Zhang Xiaosheng and Luo Xuan also saluted the old man named Han who was stationed there first. The old man glanced at him lightly as usual and said hello.
Looking at Ning Xuan, Zhang Xiaosheng said with concern:
"How is Elder Ning's recovery?"
"Ashamed, I have only recovered 30%. At this time, my strength is only at the second level of the Golden Core."
"It doesn't matter, there is still plenty of time, Elder Ning just needs to rest in peace and recuperate."
Then Zhang Xiaosheng explained the purpose of his visit to Ning Xuan. After Ning Xuan listened, he immediately said:
"Sect Master, although Ning has not recovered from his injuries and his level has slipped a bit, there is still no problem in getting information, running errands and so on!"
"Yes, Sect Master, I can't leave, but the fourth child has seen four of their golden elixirs, so at least he has someone to take care of him."
Luo Xuan also hurriedly advised.
"No need. With one more person, the target is twice as big. I'm just here to inquire about information, not to fight with anyone. Besides, Elder Ning, your injury has not healed yet. You should recover as soon as possible. I also hope that Elder Ning will attend the exchange meeting." Go up, show up suddenly, shock your opponents, and win points for us!"
Ning Xuan knew that it was extremely dangerous to go out to inquire for information. Although it was indeed inappropriate to have too many people, two people were naturally better than one. It's a pity that if he goes out now, he will not be able to heal his injuries at ease. The sect leader would rather face the danger alone, but also let himself practice in the sect with peace of mind. If he persists, he will waste the sect leader's hard work, so he can only clasp his fists and say:
"Ning Xuan takes the order!"
[Ningxuan’s reputation +8000, loyalty 1000/1000]
[When the reputation value overflows, it will be automatically converted into reputation pill (100)*40]
[Luo Xuan’s reputation +3000, loyalty 1000/1000]
[When the reputation value overflows, it will be automatically converted into reputation pill (100)*15]
Looking at the 250 reputation pills currently in the system space, Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly fell silent.
Luo Xuan and Ning Xuan thought that the sect leader was worried about the future of the Five Elements Sect, so they stood aside quietly, not daring to disturb them.
After pondering for a long time, but no improvement in their reputation was seen, Zhang Xiaosheng finally gave up the extravagant hope of breaking this number at this moment.
Waving his hand, he walked into the treasure house first, and Luo Xuan hurriedly followed.
When he came to the Magical Artifact Pavilion, he first took out the "Biyue Fuyao" and handed it to Luo Xuan. Luo Xuan took it with both hands and put it in his storage bag.
Zhang Xiaosheng turned around a few more times and picked out a few medium-grade magic weapons that could be used on the eighth floor of the foundation building, and took a low-grade magic weapon for cover.
The middle-grade magic weapon "Lihuo Xuancone" enhances the power of fire-attribute spells below the golden elixir by 20%. The material itself is extremely hard and can also be thrown as a weapon to injure enemies. It is considered a good middle-grade magic weapon.
The middle-grade magic weapon "Mountains and Rivers Pouring Ink" enhances the power of earth-attribute and water-attribute spells below the golden elixir by 10%. Because it enhances both attributes at the same time, it is more suitable for Five Elements Sect monks.
The middle-grade magic weapon "Bamboo Shadow Horizontal Slant" can enhance the power of wood-attribute spells below the golden elixir by 20%.
The middle-grade magic weapon "Leng Yue Flute" enhances the power of metallic spells below the golden elixir by 10%. The power increase is only similar to the improvement of low-grade magic weapons, but it can be judged as a middle-grade magic weapon. "Leng Yue Flute" has its secret. When stimulated with metallic aura, it can form an attack similar to a sonic wave. The originally overbearing and conspicuous metallic spell is stimulated and shot through the flute, but instead becomes erratic and concealed, with a flute-like sound of "Woo-Woo". , thereby invisibly injuring the enemy. Although the power increase is limited, it can be said that among these four magic weapons, it is the one that is most likely to severely damage the enemy.
The middle-grade magic weapon "Jinling Luo" can be infused with metallic spiritual energy to create a huge three-layer ring-shaped shield. The upper and lower rings are smaller, and the middle ring is larger, forming a weird tower shape with two pointed ends and a wide middle. Because Liu Tianyu was the master of the Golden Spirit Root before, he had used this object in the foundation building stage before and was relatively familiar with this magical weapon. The eighth level of foundation building infuses 30% of the body's spiritual energy, which can withstand the attack of the golden elixir. It can be regarded as a very powerful defensive magic weapon at this stage.
The low-grade magic weapon "Earth Xuan Sword" is a heavy sword made of black iron. It has no edge, but because the material is strong enough, it can carry the other four attributes of spiritual energy except the fire attribute below the seventh floor of the foundation to assist in fighting the enemy. . However, since it has no improvement effect and can only be used in close combat against enemies, it is only of low quality.
When Luo Xuan saw that the sect master had taken these magical weapons, he said without doubt:
"Sect Master, although these magical weapons are considered good among the middle-grade ones, are they not enough for you?"
Zhang Xiaosheng laughed and said:
"It doesn't matter. I don't intend to show off my Golden Core cultivation to others. If I am in the foundation-building realm and only use high-grade or even top-grade magic weapons, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."
Luo Xuan naturally understands the principle of keeping wealth secret, and he understood it after hearing this.
The sect leader is naturally not afraid of those young people, but if a toad doesn't bite, it's disgusting, isn't it?
There are many people who are willing to risk their lives for a high-grade magic weapon. If they are targeted, I'm afraid they will be in a lot of trouble.
However, Luo Xuan didn't know that Zhang Xiaosheng really didn't dare...
Arriving at Lingshi Pavilion, Luo Xuan looked at Zhang Xiaosheng, who waved his hands and said:
"Take it."
A surge of pride suddenly surged in Luo Xuan's heart. How could anyone else be so extravagant?
With a wave of his sleeve, tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones and 20,000 medium-grade spiritual stones were directly put into the storage bag, and the Lingshi Pavilion was mostly empty in an instant.
Zhang Xiaosheng also made a slight grasping gesture with his right hand. Thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones floated into the storage bag. He paused and took out several hundred lower-grade spiritual stones again. He had to have some change.
Luo Xuan didn't care either. The sect leader spent a lot of money on his disciples, not to mention that there was always a lot of money to spend when he was alone out exploring information.
The two walked out of the treasure house, said goodbye to the old man surnamed Han, Yu Ningxuan, and closed the formation again.
Zhang Xiaosheng felt the magic weapons and spiritual stones in the storage bag and sighed in his heart:
This should be the most luxurious eighth level of foundation building. Without Luo Xuan to follow, I really wouldn't be able to open the treasure house and take out these things with my current strength, and it would be unreasonable.
The idea of the Spirit Gathering Array is really great, killing many birds with one stone, I am really proud of my wit.
The tool man Luo Xuan was in a heavy mood at this time. The sect leader was about to go out, and a heavy burden was weighing on him. Although the sect leader often retreated in seclusion in the past, and most of the sect's major affairs were handled by him, the current internal and external troubles of the Five Elements Sect are different from the past, not to mention... …
What's more, he feels that he is becoming more and more like a martial artist. He can't keep up with the sect master's whimsical ideas. Moreover, the sect master is thoughtful and thoughtful. He only needs to execute it. He really doesn't need to use his brain...
The two of them had their own thoughts and unknowingly arrived at the foot of the back mountain.
The sect's mountain-sealing formation has been activated. Even opening a corner of the formation will cause some fluctuations, but this matter cannot be avoided. After Zhang Xiaosheng and Luo Xuan discussed it, they decided to open it here.
This place is far away from all sect disciples and can cause the smallest fluctuations.
I saw Luo Xuan taking out a large formation disk, pinching magic formulas with both hands, and five-color spiritual energy spurted out from his fingers and poured into the formation disk. Immediately, a small corner of the formation disk fluctuated slightly, and a hole the size of a human head suddenly appeared in the formation in front of him. .
The entrance of the cave grew rapidly, and in a blink of an eye it was enough to accommodate one person in and out. Zhang Xiaosheng did not dare to neglect, stepped out, turned back to Luo Xuan and said:
"Elder Luo, the Five Elements Sect is entrusting you!"
"Sect Master...take care!"
The hole quickly shrunk and eventually disappeared.
Light ripples spread from the restored cave entrance to the entire formation...
Zhang Xiaosheng stood outside the formation, waved to Luo Xuan, then turned around, chose a direction and galloped away.
In the sect's treasure house, the old man surnamed Han suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, and with a wave of his right hand, the ripples on the distant formation instantly subsided.
murmured:
"The eighth level of foundation building..."
After a long while, he sighed again and closed his eyes again.
Luo Xuan saw that the ripples extended not far before disappearing, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the direction in which the sect master was leaving and remained silent for a long time.
