Chapter 143: Arrangement, First Test of Talisman
"This is it." Jiang Yun, who had put on the True Hidden Talisman, looked at the mine below and muttered in his heart.
At this time, Jiang Yun had disguised himself as a young and handsome monk, wearing a hideous mask that only covered the lower half of his face, and wearing a black hooded robe. There was also a strange-shaped spiritual fire embroidered on the robe.
It can be said that anyone who sees him will think that he is a demon monk.
This is indeed the case. Jiang Yun's dress is one of the few sets of dresses that are highly praised by the core disciples of the six sects of the Demonic Path.
Among them, the strange spiritual fire embroidered on the robe is the characteristic of the Demon Flame Sect.
If it is the Ghost Spirit Sect, it will be embroidered with a skeleton evil ghost, and if it is the Hehuan Sect, it may be embroidered with some kind of flower.
Whether it is a mask or a robe, Jiang Yun asked three junior sisters to customize it, and they are all top-grade magic tools.
There are several other sets, both for the righteous and the demonic, and Jiang Yun has prepared them all in case of emergency.
A top-grade magic tool is only a mere three or five hundred spirit stones, which is nothing to Jiang Yun at this time.
The entrance to the mine was more than 30 meters below the ground. The only way for mortals to reach the ground was through the stairs on the cliff. There were no less than a thousand stairs. It was not easy for mortals to walk from the bottom of the pit to the ground. In addition, there were several Qi training monks guarding the entrance and exit of the mine, so mortals could not escape at all.
Many mortals below were entering and exiting the Lingshi Mine.
"The Li family really makes the best use of everything. According to Li Han, the Li family first let mortals work and mine, and when their bodies collapsed, they offered their flesh and blood to the Blood-Transforming Cauldron. At the same time, their souls were not wasted. Over the years, they have refined two Ten Thousand Soul Banners of the best-grade magic weapon level. The utilization rate is not low."
"And for the convenience of management, this spirit stone mine has only this one entrance and exit, and mortals who want to eat must bring the excavated spirit stones back to the ground and exchange them for food. One spirit stone can be exchanged for three months of food, although there are only steamed buns and water.
Although it's a bit black-hearted, it's convenient for me to have only one entrance and exit."
Jiang Yun used his spiritual pupils to observe the surroundings, chuckled and said: "Sure enough, the foundation is not enough, just arranged a cheap thing like a five-sided formation, and the formation is not opened. Is this to save spirit stones?"
"Okay, let's start."
Jiang Yun did not enter the mine directly, but took out six small formation flags and inserted them in six places around the mine, just surrounding the entire deep pit.
Since there were only Qi training cultivators and mortals at the entrance of the mine, no one noticed Jiang Yun who had pasted the True Hidden Talisman. Jiang Yun flew slowly to a base of the Five-square Array, took out a talisman and pasted it on a hidden place of the base.
Then the other four bases were pasted one by one.
Jiang Yun observed the surroundings and nodded with satisfaction before entering the mine. When interrogating Li Han before, Li Han also drew a map for Jiang Yun. He was really a good young man.
Along the way, Jiang Yun saw a lot of mortals, and there were clanging sounds around from time to time.
According to the map, Jiang Yun soon found a female cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. This female cultivator was meditating and practicing in a spiritual stone warehouse. Seeing the spirit gathering formation under this woman and a pile of spiritual stones scattered around, this woman seemed to be fleecing the family.
Jiang Yun hated such people who lacked public morality the most. After checking around to make sure there were no other people, he walked behind the woman, covered her mouth with one hand, and inserted the lightning that had shrunk to the size of a dagger into her heart.
A purple light flashed, and the woman's life was instantly annihilated.
Because the female cultivator died suddenly, her body was still in a meditation posture. The lightning only pierced her heart and then retracted, and did not penetrate her body. Therefore, from the front, there was no wound, and no blood flowed out. This was because the lightning spirit instantly burned the wound and locked the blood.
Jiang Yun waved his hand, and the female cultivator's eyes closed again, looking like she was meditating quietly.
Jiang Yun observed the spirit stones in the spirit stone warehouse, and there were only a few hundred in total. In order not to alert the enemy, Jiang Yun did not take the spirit stones away for the time being.
Soon Jiang Yun followed the same method and killed another male cultivator in the early stage of foundation building who was doing good deeds, and sent the women on the bed to their death.
There was no movement in this process. Jiang Yun also considerately used the dust-removing technique to clean up the splashed blood. The male cultivator looked like he was tired from playing and was hugging someone to sleep.
Jiang Yun continued to walk deeper into the mine. After all, it was just a small spiritual mine, with an annual output of less than a thousand spiritual stones. In less than an incense stick of time, Jiang Yun reached the deepest part.
In a wide space, a black and red cauldron stood in the middle. The carvings on the cauldron were not flowers, birds, fish and insects, but red rivers and red flowers.
A few meters away from the cauldron was a middle-aged cultivator who looked less than 40 years old. Using the spiritual pupils, he was indeed a perfect foundation-building cultivator.
Jiang Yun did not enter because there was a blue shield at the entrance of that space, which was obviously some kind of restriction.
Jiang Yun first walked back a few hundred meters and came to a remote cave. Then he took out a few small formation flags and inserted them into the ground. A small translucent white shield surrounded Jiang Yun.
This is a small formation to isolate spiritual power fluctuations.
A golden light flew out from the storage bag and landed on Jiang Yun's fingertips. This is a golden talisman with a large number of spiritual patterns drawn on it.
"I already have the Mountain Seal Talisman given by my master, so this Sky-breaking Shuttle Talisman is a bit redundant. In the past, I either didn't need the Talisman in battles, or the battles were too intense and I didn't have the chance to use it. Let me try it today."
Jiang Yun's spiritual power quickly poured into the Sky-breaking Shuttle Talisman, and the spiritual light of the Talisman began to become brighter and brighter, but due to the formation, no spiritual power fluctuations were emitted.
However, just when Jiang Yun activated the Talisman, a noisy sound appeared in the distance, as if someone was shouting loudly.
"Has the body been discovered? But it doesn't matter." Jiang Yun frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
Jiang Yun's fingers released the Talisman, floating it in the air, but the spiritual power continued to be input, and at the same time, his hands were pinched.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
As five violent explosions sounded, the entire mine shook, and some stones fell from the top of the mine. There were panic shouts from above.
"My formation has also been activated. Unless there is an underground escape talisman, there is no way to escape." Jiang Yun thought silently in his heart.
Then he slapped his belt, and three second-level sub-worms and ten spirit bees with cultivation reaching the late stage of the first level appeared in the outside world. These ten were the war bees among the Qingyu Su bees.
"Go! Clear out all the people in the entire mine cave, leaving no one alive!" Jiang Yun ordered.
As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, the spirit insects quickly scattered into the winding passage and soon disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Jiang Yun used his spiritual pupils to observe that the late-stage foundation-building cultivator had stood up, but did not leave the space where the Blood Transformation Cauldron was.
Jiang Yun continued to activate the talisman, and soon the talisman flashed with golden light and turned into a golden shuttle-shaped magic weapon, but the shape was completely different from the golden talisman shuttle.
The style of the golden talisman shuttle is like a strange-shaped arrow, while the sky-breaking shuttle talisman is like a slender boat.
Jiang Yun sensed his body and found that he did not consume much spiritual power. I couldn't help but doubt the power of the Sky-breaking Shuttle Talisman.
If the Sky-breaking Shuttle had intelligence, Jiang Yun would definitely be pissed off!
Although the Sky-breaking Shuttle is not a famous and powerful magic weapon, it is not comparable to some rubbish magic weapons. Its speed and power are very good.
Jiang Yun waved his sleeves to put away the formation, and then flew deep into the mine, with the Sky-breaking Shuttle following him. At the same time, he activated the Flame Blood Demon Art, and his whole body began to burn with red spiritual flames, the color was strange like blood.
The Sky-breaking Shuttle also changed. With the blessing of the blood attribute spiritual power, the golden light of the Sky-breaking Shuttle began to show a strange red light. The golden and red intertwined, it looked like a magic weapon.
Soon Jiang Yun saw the middle-aged cultivator and the Blood-Transforming Cauldron again. However, the middle-aged male cultivator was holding a black banner in his hand at this time, with a look of vigilance on his face.
