Beishan Medicine Valley and Cave Forest
"This matter has nothing to do with Junior Brother Ah Qi. It is Senior Brother Jiang who has to collect the elixir on his own. If an accident occurs, he cannot blame others. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, I will tell Elder Situ."
Yan Wan stood in front of Qiye and defended.
"Okay, Junior Sister Yan, for your sake, we won't argue with him. Brat, you're lucky this time. Don't think you can sit back and relax by hiding behind a woman. We'll see!"
With the elders present, Wang Xiu and Zhang Li did not dare to force themselves.
He had no choice but to say a harsh word and turned around to take care of Jiang Cai.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Yan."
Standing behind Yan Wan, Qiye thanked him.
Just now, if Senior Sister Yan hadn't stopped the two of them in time, I might have suffered some physical pain.
Of course, Qiye was not afraid that those two people would cause trouble for him, it was just that there were too many people to see things.
What's more, there are elders present, and resistance means that the true strength may be exposed.
This also made him very helpless. Although he had the strength, he couldn't take action.
"It's nothing. I want to thank you, Ah Qi. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to collect the herbs.
However, as your senior sister, I would like to remind you:
Don't mess with Jiang Cai's group again, you will suffer a loss due to your low strength. "
Yan Wan reminded him very seriously.
"Yeah, I will..."
Qiye rubbed his nose and tentatively agreed.
He unconsciously glanced at the unconscious Jiang Cai on the ground, grinned, and felt a sense of impunity in his heart:
If you, Jiang Cai, always target yourself and don't teach you a lesson, you really think I'm easy to bully, hehe...
Qiye's hidden smile naturally did not attract anyone's attention.
"Okay, that's it for now! We still have to hurry up and continue to the inner valley."
Seeing that the situation had come to an end for the time being, Ming Zishan glanced at the crowd and interjected.
In fact, if Yan Wan hadn't stopped just now, he would have intervened.
However, Wang Xiu and Zhang Li would not do anything in person, but they would still cause trouble for Qiye behind their backs.
Now, they have wasted a lot of time in this cave forest, and they can collect a second-grade century-old elixir, which is considered a good harvest.
However, this pales in comparison to other places in the inner valley.
Although there are many dangers in the inner valley, if the opportunity is good, you might be able to collect a fourth-grade elixir.
And the competition in the inner valley is also more intense...
Although he will not lead his disciples to participate in this kind of bloody competition, but being able to witness the struggle between the weak and the strong among spiritual practitioners is also a gain for these young disciples' experience in the world.
After everyone cleaned up briefly, they followed Ming Zishan out of the cave.
Wang Xiu and Zhang Li also made a stretcher and carried out the unconscious Jiang Cai.
Outside the cave, Ming Zishan took out a cloud-penetrating arrow and lit the line of fire.
"Whew~" A sharp and harsh sound broke through the wind, and the red smoke rushed into the sky...
Soon, a figure rushed towards him in the mist. When he saw the face of the person clearly, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He turned out to be Elder Situ.
During this Medicine Valley experience, Situ Qingyang was responsible for the rescue mission and had been waiting outside the Medicine Valley. If he saw the sect's distress signal, he would arrive as soon as possible.
Situ Qingyang is the strongest person in the entire Dan Hall:
The third level of the early stage of war spirit level, the number of spiritual stars is 74,000.
With this kind of strength, as long as you don't go to the deep valley to encounter a fifth-level or sixth-level monster, you can basically escape unscathed and no one can stop you.
Therefore, having Situ Qingyang take charge of this rescue mission naturally makes people feel more at ease.
"I've met the Great Elder!"
When they saw the visitor, everyone came forward to salute respectfully.
Situ Qingyang walked past everyone without saying a word and looked at Jiang Cai who was on the stretcher covered in medicine.
After seeing that his life was not in danger, he shook his head and sighed.
These Dantong disciples were trained by the sect at great cost, and the death of one of them is also a huge loss.
But after all, it was the flowers in Dantang's greenhouse that became like this as soon as they came out.
He didn't bother to ask why. Without saying a word, he directly lifted the stretcher with one hand and disappeared in the mist in an instant.
Although the disciples were a little surprised by Elder Situ's indifferent behavior, they couldn't show their dissatisfaction.
After seeing off the great elder, Ming Zishan continued to lead everyone to the inner valley according to the route on the map.
As we marched cautiously, the sky soon darkened.
Mingzishan dug a cave on the mountain side of the valley and prepared to set up camp.
"Martial skills, mountain building!"
His breath shook and he shouted loudly.
Three long swords flew out from the spiritual ring, with the sound of "嘤嘤" swords, as powerful as a startling rainbow, and spinning like the wind.
In an instant, a large hole more than three meters high and ten meters deep was cut out of the smooth rock wall.
"Wow!"
Seeing the elder's thunderous attack, all the disciples exclaimed.
The third level of the early fighting spirit level can carve such a big hole in the mountain instantly with one move, which is really shocking.
Among the crowd, Qiye was relatively calm.
Although Ming Zishan's moves looked more gorgeous, with his current eyesight, he could still see that it was just a low-level yellow-level swordsmanship.
It's just that the user's strength is higher, which makes this sword technique more powerful.
The only thing that made Qiye's eyes light up was:
Because Ming Zishan is an alchemist, his soul power is very powerful and he can control three swords at once.
This undoubtedly triples the destructive power of a single sword technique that is not very powerful.
"Come on, let's go in."
Ming Zishan put away his sharp sword, dusted off his body, and led his disciples into the cave.
As night approached, everyone found their own places in the cave and settled down.
Ming Zishan came to the cave entrance, took out two egg-sized beads from the spiritual ring, and injected spiritual power into them.
"Hey, elder, what is this?"
Suddenly, a question came from behind.
When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw Qiye's innocent eyes wide open, staring at the beads in his hand, his eyes flickering.
At this moment, the eight-year-old Qiye showed an innocence of seeking knowledge.
"Oh, Ah Qi... these are formation beads, used to set up formations. We are camping in this valley, so naturally we have to guard against monsters attacking in the middle of the night."
Ming Zishan saw Qiye's expression of thirsty for knowledge and introduced him.
"Look, this is a concealment formation bead, which can shield our breath so that monsters cannot smell our scent. This is a shield wall formation bead, which can prevent monsters from breaking in..."
Ming Zishan spread out the two formation beads in his hand, explained patiently, and injected a bit of spiritual power into the formation beads as he spoke.
The beads, which were originally as quiet as dead objects, were activated by spiritual power and released rays of brilliance like flower buds blooming.
Immediately, he threw it towards the entrance of the cave, and the beads flew out like a parabola, forming a bright film at the entrance of the cave, like colorful soap bubbles.
After the light film changed for a while, it stabilized and gradually became transparent and colorless.
Qiye stepped forward very curiously and reached out to touch.
There seemed to be an invisible wall in the void, solid and cold. And through the colorless wall, the dim night outside is clearly visible.
"This is a second-level array bead, which can resist the attacks of second-level monsters or first-level monsters. Although it is only equivalent to a 'war-level' defense, it should be enough at the edge of the inner valley."
Ming Zishan pinched his short beard and estimated.
Regarding the formation beads, Qiye naturally knew a little bit about it from the memory he inherited. There were three explosive formation beads obtained in the Hanqi Treasure Cave in his spiritual ring.
Apart from this, he has not seen other types of formation beads so far.
Today, the two different types of formation beads that the elder took out aroused his interest, making people full of curiosity as if opening a new world.
"Elder, how many types of beads are there?"
Qiye asked with great interest.
"Haha, if there are as many types of beads as there are, there are many..."
For disciples who love to seek knowledge, Ming Zishan naturally likes to answer questions and resolve doubts.
After answering this question, the two of them sat on the ground at the entrance of the cave and started explaining.
At this moment, Qiye looked like a clueless book boy, and Mingzishan looked like a teacher who preached and taught.
After a long conversation, we gained a lot during the seven nights:
Formation beads are special spiritual formations that the spiritual formation master inscribes into the demon core or demon core according to actual combat needs, so that they can be activated immediately when fighting against the enemy.
Array beads are generally divided into five categories according to the type of spiritual array:
Offensive Formation Beads
Defensive array beads
Confused array beads
Auxiliary array beads
Composite array beads:
Offensive array beads: This is the "killing array".
Mainly attacking, using various elements such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to cause damage to the enemy.
It is the most powerful spiritual formation among the formations.
Defensive array beads: This is the "trapped array".
Advocating for solidity, this solidity can be used to trap the enemy or to protect oneself.
Confusing array beads: This is the "phantom array".
It is mainly psychedelic, making the enemy addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves, thereby losing their combat effectiveness, achieving the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.
Auxiliary array beads: This is the "auxiliary array".
It is mainly used to assist practitioners in practicing Taoism and enhance its effectiveness. For example, 'Spirit Gathering Array'.
The final composite array bead: it is the "integrated array".
Refers to array beads that have more than two functions at the same time. For example, there is offense in psychedelics, psychedelics in defense, etc.
As for composite formation beads, due to their diversity of functions, refining such formation beads requires higher requirements for spiritual formation masters.
In addition, the human race's array beads can be divided into 7 levels according to their power:
Level 1 array beads: The number of array patterns is 1 to 10, the power is equivalent to the primary level, and it is generally refined using first-level demon pills.
Level 2 array beads: The number of array patterns is 10 to 100. The power is equivalent to the war level. It is generally refined with the second-level demon elixir or the first-level magic core.
Level 3 array beads: The number of array patterns is 100 to 300. The power is equivalent to that of a battle ax. It is generally refined using third-level demon pills or second-level magic cores.
Level 4 array beads: The number of array patterns is 300 to 600. The power is equivalent to the war spirit level. It is generally refined with the fourth-level demon elixir or the third-level magic core.
Level 5 array beads: The number of array lines is 600 to 1,000. The power is equivalent to the war spirit level. It is generally refined with level 5 demon pills or level 4 magic cores.
Level 6 array beads: The number of array lines is 1,000 to 2,000. The power is equivalent to the spirit level. It is generally refined with level 6 demon pills or level 5 magic cores.
Level 7 array beads: The number of array lines is 2000 to 4000, and the power is equivalent to the Xuanling level. It is generally refined with seventh-level demon pills or sixth-level magic cores.
As for formation beads above level 7, they have exceeded the human race's refining limit.
Among the human race, even the Emperor of the Empire only has "undead level" strength.
Spiritual formation masters whose strength is lower than that of the Human Emperor are only at the "Xuanling level" at the highest level, so it is simply impossible to refine level 8 formation beads.
