Chapter 525: Secret Surveillance
Under the guidance of the Shadow Gu, Song Wen found the cave with the formation.
This cave existed originally, and the formation had a strong effect of gathering qi. If it weren't for the Shadow Gu's reminder, Song Wen would never have noticed that someone was secretly monitoring him.
"It should be someone from Wuji Island. Why would Wuji Island monitor Jiyin Island? Could it be that they already knew that Yuan Qing was killed by me? But how did Wuji Island know about this?" Song Wen had many questions in his mind.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not break the formation rashly. Instead, he quietly retreated without alerting the two people in the formation.
Song Wen took out Shan Yue's communication jade slip and delivered a message.
[At midnight tonight, you go to the cliff on the west side of the island alone, and I will wait for you there. Be careful to hide your figure and breath, and don't tell Sister An Tong about this. ]
Shan Yue looked a little strange after seeing the message.
"He actually asked me to go out in the middle of the night. Did he come up with some new tricks?"
Shan Yue looked a little resentful, and she was quite dissatisfied with Song Wen. When needed, Song Wen would call her over; after the job was done, he would let her go; it seemed that he only treated her as a tool.
Midnight.
It was late at night.
At the bottom of the cliff on the west side of the island, the waves hit the rocks, making a roaring sound.
Shan Yue came quietly in a black cloak.
She looked around, but did not see Song Wen.
She was very confused, but she did not shout out when she thought of Song Wen's special instructions in the message to hide her body and breath.
Suddenly, a tiny Gu worm crawled out from the rocks and drilled into the waves.
"Does Ji Yin want to be underwater?"
Shan Yue's pretty face blushed, and she seemed to have some expectation, so she also dived into the water.
The Shadow Gu seemed to be waiting for her on purpose, and its speed in the water was not fast.
Half an hour later, Shan Yue was surprised to find that under the guidance of the Shadow Gu, she came to the uninhabited island where she had lived temporarily.
She met Song Wen in a temporary underwater cave.
"Jiyin, I haven't seen you for a while? Why did you ask me to come here?"
Shan Yue also noticed something unusual.
If it was just for the pleasure of sex, there was no need to sneak around and run to a small island hundreds of miles away.
"Jiyin Island has been targeted and someone is secretly monitoring us. You and I must leave." Song Wen said.
Shan Yue had many doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask Song Wen what trouble he had gotten into, nor did she ask where he was going. She just nodded slightly.
Song Wen summoned a small flying boat, took Shan Yue with him, and disappeared into the night.
As for the two sisters An Tong and An Yin, neither of them mentioned them.
They relied on Song Wen's wings and enjoyed the rich spiritual energy on Jiyin Island, but they were of no value to Song Wen, so they should be aware of being abandoned.
Before Shan Yue arrived, Song Wen had counted the three storage rings he got from Yuan Qing.
First was Yuan Qing's.
What Song Wen was most looking forward to was the recipe for the Natural Infant Spirit Pill.
The recipe for the Infant Spirit Pill was recorded in a notebook, and there were more than seventy kinds of spiritual medicines involved. More than sixty kinds of spiritual medicines were relatively common, and more than ten kinds were relatively rare.
Among these rare spiritual medicines, except for four of them, Yuan Qing's storage ring had them all, and each kind of spiritual medicine had at least two copies.
It is worth mentioning that there were also two plants of Earth Dragon Ganoderma.
Therefore, what he said to Zhu Yin in the seabed crack that he did not find more Earth Dragon Ganoderma was also a lie.
The four missing spiritual medicines were: Lingzhu Fruit, Third-level Blood King Honey, Xuanbing Flower, and Purple Danshen.
Song Wen had the third-level Blood King Honey, so he only lacked Lingzhu Fruit, Xuanbing Flower, and Purple Danshen.
Yuan Qing had already collected the former, but he planted it in the spiritual medicine garden of Wuji Island.
In Yuan Qing's memory, Song Wen also got some clues about Xuanbing Flower, and the Xing family in Fangzhu City had this spiritual medicine.
After Xing Yixuan arrived at the Baodan Hall on Wuji Island, Yuan Qing visited her several times for the Xuanbing Flower.
Xing Yixuan wanted to get the Hansui Wood.
That was why Yuan Qing was so angry when the Hansui Wood was taken away by Ziyun of Liangyi Sect in the Rebirth Valley.
At first, Si Xi asked for the Hansui Wood, but that was just a trick Yuan Qing used to cover up his mistake.
Yuan Qing was devoted to body refining. Therefore, in his storage ring, there were many elixirs and spiritual herbs for body refining. Among them, there were eight blood jade corals, and the corpse curse water they could make was enough for Song Wen to practice for nearly twenty years.
The black spear was Yuan Qing's natal magic weapon, and it was not very meaningful to Song Wen.
There was a corpse puppet in the storage ring, which belonged to Zhu Yin and was later seized by Yuan Qing; it was a corpse puppet at the peak of the Golden Core.
Yuan Qing himself did not refine corpses, and did not have magic weapons such as corpse coffins. Therefore, the corpse puppet was thrown into the storage ring casually by him, which was somewhat a waste of resources.
The corpse puppet still had the soul mark left by Zhu Yin's refining. If Song Wen wanted to drive this corpse puppet, he had to erase Zhu Yin's soul mark.
Song Wen's spiritual consciousness realm was equivalent to Zhu Yin's, both of them were at the peak of the golden elixir realm. It was not difficult to erase it, but it just required a little bit of grinding.
There was a bowl-sized hole on the chest of the corpse puppet, which could be repaired by consuming some corpse spiritual materials.
What disappointed Song Wen was that Yuan Qing's storage ring did not have the cultivation method of "Immortal True Corpse Transformation".
Next, it was Si Xi's storage ring.
What attracted Song Wen the most in this storage ring was the successful set of formations that had been drawn.
According to the different formation methods, formations can be roughly divided into two categories.
One type is a set of formations that have been engraved on the formation flags and formation plates.
For this type of formation, as long as the formation flags and formation plates are refined, any cultivator can quickly set up the formation with sufficient mana.
The second type is the formation that requires temporary engraving of the formation pattern.
This type of formation can only be set up by formation masters, and it is generally more time-consuming; but this type of formation is often powerful.
In Si Xi's storage ring, there are three sets of formations that are useful to Song Wen, namely "Netherworld Void Spirit Formation", "Yellow Spring Ghost Killing Formation", and "Nine Stars Demon Subduing Formation".
These three formations are all exquisite third-level advanced formations, each with powerful power.
"Netherworld Void Spirit Formation" has both concealment and defense capabilities. Once it is set up, even the spiritual consciousness of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators is difficult to detect.
"Yellow Spring Ghost Killing Formation" is a formation that traps and kills enemies.
"Nine Stars Demon Subduing Formation" is a formation that uses the power of stars to trap and kill monsters.
The third storage ring only contained an alchemy furnace, a jade slip, and a futon.
These three items were obtained by Yuan Qing from the underwater tomb.
The jade slip was a jade slip of alchemy experience left by the tomb owner.
The alchemy furnace was a top-grade magic weapon, which was extremely rare in the entire Tianyuan world.
The futon was a mid-grade magic weapon, used to assist in cultivation.
Perhaps it was because Yuan Qing spent a lot of money to collect the spiritual medicine needed for the infant spirit pill. And Si Xi was obsessed with the formation. The two people did not have many spiritual stones in their storage rings, only more than 40 top-grade spiritual stones in total.
