Chapter 127: The Place for Formation

The spear was cold in his hand.

It was hard to believe that this spear could launch such a blazing attack.

"Fire Phoenix Feather Spear, a top-level magic weapon."

Chu Ning recalled the information about this magic weapon mentioned by Shang Rui just now, and his heart was also hot.

You know, he now has a top-level magic weapon in his hand.

In the case that the black knife can only be used at critical moments, if you can have a top-level magic weapon that can be used normally, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the deterrence.

Thinking of the scene where Shang Rui used the sky-wide flames just now, and he had to use all his defense methods.

Chu Ning immediately picked up the magic weapon and injected mana into it to try.

The next moment, Chu Ning's eyes were stunned.

His face became a little ugly.

"This magic weapon is actually a special fire attribute magic weapon. I can't drive it with wood attribute magic power?"

Chu Ning was not too desperate and gathered mana again to try to inject it into this spear.

After a while, Chu Ning had to give up helplessly and sighed.

After finally getting a top-level magic weapon, Chu Ning was undoubtedly quite regretful that he could not use it.

He reluctantly looked at the magic weapon again, and finally could only put it into the storage bag.

Since it could not be used, it was of no value to him at the moment.

Chu Ning searched Shang Rui's body again, and found nothing except a storage bag.

Then, he directly used several fireballs to turn the opponent into ashes.

"I won't play with fire with you, but I will let you turn into ashes in the fire in the end, which is also fair to you."

Chu Ning muttered in his heart, and then immediately returned to the previous cave.

In the battle with Shang Rui, he not only used all his defensive means, but also consumed most of his mana.

At this moment, he naturally couldn't go out easily.

When he came to the cave, he first put the intermediate-level defense talisman on his sleeve to ensure that it could be activated at any time.

Then, Chu Ning took out ten small pieces of earth spirit crystals from the storage bag and put them back into the earth spirit bracelet in his hand.

At this time, Chu Ning took out a few Huiyuan pills and swallowed them, and began to recover his mana.

After running the Qingmu Changchun Gong for several weeks, Chu Ning felt that his mana was fully restored.

He stood up and opened Shang Rui's storage bag.

"Huh? So many medicinal materials?"

When Chu Ning opened the other party's storage bag, the first thing he saw was the jade boxes.

When he opened the jade boxes one by one, he found that most of them were filled with wood or fire spiritual medicines.

Looking at these spiritual medicines, all of them seemed to be of high age.

There were even more spiritual medicines than Chu Ning had obtained along the way.

Thinking of the other party's mention that he was about to build a foundation, Chu Ning was not too surprised that Shang Rui had so many spiritual medicines in his storage bag.

I just don't know whether Shang Rui collected them in the sect or found them in this spiritual domain.

In addition to many spiritual medicines, Chu Ning was somewhat surprised that there were more than 20 medium-grade spiritual stones in the storage bag.

There were also some elixirs of not low quality. Chu Ning took a rough look and found some of them that he could use now.

There were two or three kinds of elixirs that he did not recognize.

In addition, Chu Ning also found a jade slip in it, which actually recorded some elixir recipes.

However, Chu Ning had never been involved in alchemy before, so he just took a rough look and put it away.

"Although that top-level magic weapon cannot be used, these things are worth a lot."

Chu Ning classified these usable and unusable items into different storage bags, and then followed Ling Xiaobai out of the cave.

It took a lot of time to get out of the col, and the man and the beast continued to walk in the direction of the formation.

Along the way, Chu Ning became more cautious.

There were even two times when Ling Xiaobai sent a message to Chu Ning that there were spiritual medicines, but Chu Ning's puppet bird and divine consciousness could not enter and sense them, so he chose to give up.

However, as he got closer to the formation, the spiritual energy became more and more dense, and Chu Ning was able to obtain some spiritual medicines and plants every now and then.

At this time, it was not difficult for Chu Ning to understand why almost all the disciples in the sect were extremely active when it came to participating in secret missions to enter the spiritual realm.

Putting aside other things, the opportunity to obtain these spiritual medicines and plants alone, for most of the Qi Refining cultivators, may only have such an opportunity in this life.

As for Chu Ning, although he gained a lot, he still felt a little regretful.

In a relatively hidden small cave, Chu Ning watched the sky outside completely brighten, and then slowly finished his practice.

Then, he habitually took a look at his practice proficiency.

[Qingmu Changchun Gong (Yellow Rank Lower Grade), Third Level (1041/2100)]

[Jiuyan Refining Body Art, Volume 1, Continuous Tendon 678/1500]

[Refining Spirit Art, Second Level 12/2000]

It has been twenty days since I entered the spiritual realm.

During these twenty days, Chu Ning traveled during the day, but still maintained a relatively ample time for cultivation at night.

Of course, because the time for cultivation was not as long as before in Yanjifang, the speed of improvement was naturally not as fast as that.

In terms of body training, Chu Ning's storage bag still had enough Jinlan fruit. Eating one a day could increase 2 points.

There was no more, after all, he didn't have that much time for extra cultivation.

In terms of qi refining, there is no Aoki Chunhua Technique to assist in cultivation, and Chu Ning has to spend some time every day to recover his mana, so naturally it does not increase as fast as the outside world.

However, the spiritual energy in this spiritual realm is very dense and the mana can be restored quickly.

In addition, Chu Ning will basically take a Lingyuan Pill every day or two, and the Golden Orchid Fruit will not stop, so he can still ensure that his proficiency increases by about 3 to 4 points every day.

Among these, the most affected one is undoubtedly the art of refining the gods.

After entering the second level of divine refining, the original difficulty of cultivation also increased.

In addition, Chu Ning does not have the assistance of the Black Night Iron Soul Wood. In order to maintain his spiritual consciousness in this spiritual realm to deal with unexpected situations, he will not make talismans to specifically consume his spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, the progress of the entire divine refining art is very slow. Twenty days after entering the spiritual realm, it only increased by 10 points.

"There are so many elixirs and plants in this spiritual realm, and I have encountered one or two of them in Tempering Body. Why can't I see any elixirs that can help with spiritual consciousness?"

Chu Ning sighed slightly.

Then he sent a message to Ling Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you can't sense spiritual elixirs, right?"

"What is the spiritual elixir?"

Hearing Ling Xiaobai's question, Chu Ning's eyes widened immediately, "You really can't sense it?"

At this time, Chu Ning vaguely thought of a possibility and asked Ling Xiaobai:

"Can you only sense elixirs and plants with strong spiritual energy?"

Ling Xiaobai nodded, and Chu Ning sighed softly at this moment.

It's no wonder. Whether it is a spiritual medicine for refining Qi or for refining the body, it is actually dominated by spiritual energy. The better the spiritual medicine, the stronger the spiritual energy.

But this is not necessarily the case with spiritual plants and elixirs related to spiritual consciousness.

For example, if Chu Ning hadn't cultivated his spiritual consciousness in the Black Night Iron Soul Wood, he wouldn't have been able to sense the wood essence in it.

If there are similar spiritual plants, this situation is likely to occur.

Ling Xiaobai could not tell the difference based on the richness of the spiritual energy alone. What was more important was to judge through spiritual consciousness.

"So, it's possible that I missed such a treasure along the way?"

Chu Ning muttered to herself, then shook her head.

But it is not necessarily true. It is possible that there really is no such treasure. After all, it is really difficult to find treasures of heaven, material and earth that can enhance spiritual consciousness.

With a sigh in his heart, Chu Ning quickly stood up and walked out of the small cave.

He took out the direction compass in his hand, looked at it, and then started walking in the direction indicated.

It took a while for Chu Ning to discover that the direction compass could not only point out the direction.

It also serves as an approximate distance indicator.

For example, when Chu Ning first entered the spiritual realm, the red pointer on the compass was very long.

But now, the compass has only less than one-third of its length.

This means that Chu Ning should have walked more than two-thirds of the way.

"It should be faster."

Of course, he would not be stupid enough to wait until the end of a month to really test whether the compass was funny.

Chu Ning thought this in her heart, and her pace quickened a bit.

At the same time, his puppet bird continued to be released every day to explore.

As he gets closer to the place where the formation is set up, the more people Chu Ning can detect every day, he basically still adopts the previous strategy, avoiding as much as possible.

Occasionally, there would be one or two singles who couldn't be avoided, and he wouldn't go with them anyway.

After running around like this for another three days, Chu Ning found a place to rest for a while, looking at the length of the compass and calculating his distance.

“If I walk normally, I should be able to arrive in four days at most.

Coming from the Blue Moon Cave at the edge, my speed was not too slow. "

Chu Ning thought silently in his heart, while the puppet bird was circling around him to investigate and watch.

At this time, his expression moved slightly, and his eyes inadvertently glanced to the east.

At the same time, he drove the puppet bird to fly to the east.

Unfortunately, the puppet bird could only see a hundred feet away, and the sound Chu Ning just heard was at least three to four hundred feet away.

Since the puppet bird couldn't see any specific movement, Chu Ning stood up directly at this time, thinking of leaving without waiting for the people over there to approach.

However, just as he was about to move, he paused slightly again.

The voice coming from my ears felt vaguely familiar.

Chu Ning did not take back the puppet bird and continued to observe.

After a few breaths, a figure rushed towards this side in a hurry.

"It's him?"

Chu Ning was a little surprised when she saw this figure.

This person turned out to be Shang Zhaoxiang.

When he looked behind him, he saw a spider-like monster chasing after him.

Chu Ning, who was originally planning to leave directly, saw this and flew directly towards Yufeng on the east side.

"This senior brother save me!"

At this time, Shang Zhaoxiang also saw Chu Ning. When he discovered that Chu Ning was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, he immediately shouted with joy.

"First-order intermediate monster."

Chu Ning could tell the level of this monster with just one glance, and took out a hook-shaped intermediate magic weapon from the storage bag.

This was obtained near the Blue Moon Cave when he first entered the spiritual realm.

The thin disciple was killed by his colleagues to seize the treasure, but in the end this thing fell into Chu Ning's body.

With the concentration of mana, a golden light shot out from the hook, hitting the spider.

The spider was immediately beaten to a stop. Chu Ning raised his hand at this time, and several Gengjin sword energy shot out from the talisman ring, immediately beating the spider monster full of holes.

Seeing this scene, Shang Zhaoxiang, who stopped, suddenly became happy and praised:

"This senior brother is so skilled in metallic magic. This metallic mid-level magic weapon is actually not as good as senior brother's sword energy."

Shang Zhaoxiang is still the same as before, saying what others like to hear.

Such a good habit of making friends made Chu Ning couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, because he was using the transformation spell, Shang Zhaoxiang naturally did not recognize him.

Not even mentioning Shang Zhaoxiang, even those who met him after entering the spiritual realm would not recognize him.

He looks like a middle-aged man, and the magic tools and spells he is currently using are all made of metal. He looks like a disciple majoring in metal spells, and he just happened to be brought in this time.

Of course, it's not unexpected.

Among the outer sects, there are many disciples who practice one attribute technique, but because they have other spiritual roots, they practice spells with different attributes.

Chu Ning looked at Shang Zhaoxiang's slightly embarrassed look, and asked with some doubts at this moment:

"Why did this junior brother get into trouble with this monster? You are only at the sixth level of Qi training. You should hide away when you encounter this monster."

"Oh, don't mention it!"

Shang Zhaoxiang sighed and shook his head and said:

“I didn’t go to any dangerous places along the way, and the teleportation place was not far away, so I arrived here safely.

I just accidentally discovered that several spiritual plant flowers have withered and the receptacles inside are close to opening. It should be that the seeds are old and can be collected.

Thinking that these flowers might be relatively rare spiritual plants, and there were no monsters around, I went to pick them all.

Unexpectedly, when I continued walking forward, I accidentally passed by the cave of this monster and was discovered by it, and then it chased me all the way. "

As Shang Zhaoxiang spoke, he glanced at the corpse of the spider monster with some fear and said:

"If you hadn't taken action, senior brother, I would have lost my life so close to the place where the formation was set up."

After hearing this, Chu Ning nodded and said: "Yes, this place is so close to the place where the formation is set up, and the level of the monsters is not high. It is not worthwhile to lose your life here."

"Who says it's not the case?" Shang Zhaoxiang said with doubt on his face.

"It's strange to say that the spiritual energy is more intense near the place where the formation is set up, but the spiritual plant elixir seems to be less.

Even the level of this monster seems to be lower. I met two first-level low-level monsters before. "

Chu Ning actually discovered this before, thought about it and said:

"Perhaps there are more people concentrated away from the place where the formation is set up, so the other senior brothers must have cleared them out first."

After hearing this, Shang Zhaoxiang said with a look of approval, "This is quite possible."

As he spoke, Shang Zhaoxiang took out a flower receptacle with seeds faintly exposed from the storage bag, and then handed it to Chu Ning.

"Senior brother, do you know what kind of flower seeds these are?"

Chu Ning took it over and looked at the gray-green torus, then at the faintly exposed black seeds, and carefully identified them.

Then he shook his head and said, "I've never seen this kind of thing before. I really don't know what kind of spiritual plant it is."

As he spoke, Chu Ning habitually used his spiritual consciousness to probe into the inside of the flower, trying to see clearly.

The next moment, Chu Ning's expression changed and she asked Shang Zhaoxiang:

"Where did you pick this flower? Is it still available there?"

"It's on a mountain wall not far from here." Shang Zhaoxiang pointed casually and continued:

"That's all there is, and it's all withered."

Speaking of this, Shang Zhaoxiang looked at Chu Ning's seemingly interested expression and immediately took out 5 more similar flower receptacles from the storage bag.

Then they were handed to Chu Ning together.

"Senior brother, if you are interested in this flower, I will give you these flower receptacles. Anyway, I don't know them and I don't need them."

Chu Ning glanced at Shang Zhaoxiang blankly, "Don't you consider that this flower is a valuable elixir?"

"Haha, it's not that easy. I just made a few flower receptacles and it's a rare elixir."

Shang Zhaoxiang shook his head, and then said with emotion:

"Besides, even if it is really a good thing, it cannot be more important than my life.

Senior brother saved my life, I deserve some reward. "

With that said, Shang Zhaoxiang handed the flower holder forward again.

"And there is no spiritual energy fluctuation on this spiritual plant. It is most likely not a good thing. I say this just for peace of mind."

Seeing what Shang Zhaoxiang said, Chu Ning pondered for a moment, then reached out and took all the flower receptacles.

While putting them into the storage bag, Chu Ning took out two more jade boxes from the storage bag.

“These flower receptacles look interesting, but I can’t tell what they are, but I’m interested in taking them out to study.

As for saving you, I just did it casually. Let's just say that these two spiritual plants are exchanged with you. "

When Shang Zhaoxiang saw what Chu Ning said, he naturally refused.

However, after Chu Ning said it twice and showed a hint of displeasure, Shang Zhaoxiang finally accepted the two jade boxes.

When he opened the jade box and found two spiritual herbs of high quality, he naturally thanked them profusely.

After completing the exchange, Chu Ning rejected Shang Zhaoxiang's proposal to go together. He left directly on the grounds that he had other companions to find.

Then he changed direction and walked for another day.

After finding a deserted place, Chu Ning removed the shapeshifting spell and restored his original appearance.

This place is very close to the formation, and there are more and more people who can be encountered. It will be inconvenient for Chu Ning to change his appearance in the future.

As for entering the formation, Chu Ning must of course appear in his original appearance.

After all, this is his true identity. Who knows if there will be any verification in the sect at that time.

And even if there is no verification, Chu Ning will have to go out in the future.

If he has not shown his face in this formation, and suddenly appears again in the future, it will naturally be even more difficult to explain.

After changing back to his original appearance, Chu Ning no longer avoids people.

After walking for a day, he caught up with a small team, and a group of more than 20 people moved forward together.

And in this team, Shang Zhaoxiang was also there.

Seeing Chu Ning, Shang Zhaoxiang was also a little surprised and surprised, but he still went forward to greet him enthusiastically.

And when he heard that Chu Ning's teleportation distance was not far and he basically did not encounter any danger along the way, Shang Zhaoxiang was also amazed.

They were envious of Chu Ning's good luck.

The two walked and talked, and finally, after walking for another day, in the afternoon of the second day, they arrived at the direction indicated by the compass.

The place where the formation was set up.
