Chapter 121 Yan Su Shi
"It's a pity that fourteen black turtle armor sticks are still a little short. If we can gather 108, it will be enough to deal with even the top-grade formation."
The higher the formation grade, the more formation flags are needed.
A low-grade formation requires nine formation flags as the core.
A medium-grade formation requires thirty-six formation flags as the core.
A top-grade formation requires 108 formation flags as the core.
Most of the disciples of Wuhen Sect carry formation flags with them to facilitate the arrangement of large formations. Gu Xiuyun also has some in his spirit bag, but those formation flags are only low-level spiritual tools. How can they be as tough as the black turtle armor sticks?
Standing in the mist formation.
Gu Xiuyun constantly urged the black turtle armor sticks to move along the formation veins. The formation flags changed, and the spiritual power nodes of the formation also changed accordingly. In this way, even Gu Xiuyun would find it difficult to find the flaws in the formation and break the mist formation.
"After someone presides over the formation, its power is indeed much greater. Even a low-grade formation can trap a practitioner in the Kaimai realm." Gu Xiuyun thought to himself.
Of course, running the formation requires a lot of spiritual power. In just half an incense stick of time, Gu Xiuyun's spiritual power has been depleted by nearly 10%. This is because no one resists in the formation, otherwise the spiritual power consumption will be even greater.
"It seems that I have to leave Youning City as soon as possible to find spiritual medicine and crystals." Gu Xiuyun's eyes are like swords. "The Earth Gate will grow to its extreme in another half a year. A large amount of spiritual medicine needs to be prepared to open the second gate. In addition, a large amount of crystals is required to arrange the formation. Without crystals, it is too laborious to support the formation with one's own spiritual power!"
Gu Xiuyun waved his hands, and fourteen black turtle armor sticks flew into his palm, and the surrounding fog array also dissipated.
Walking out of the quiet room, more than a dozen maids stood on both sides of the corridor.
"Sir, you must be very tired after practicing for so many days. Madam asked us to come and bathe and change clothes for you."
"No need!"
Gu Xiuyun waved his hand and left.
Looking at the figure of the young master leaving, the maids were disappointed.
"Since Young Master Yun enlightened the spiritual veins, he has never touched us again. Now he doesn't even let us bathe and change clothes."
"We are just ordinary women, how can we compare with the fairies in the cultivation world? I heard that Yan Suqing, the leader of the Fenglin Society, is quite interested in our young master. Compared with Fairy Yan, we are naturally not in the eyes of the young master."
"Where did you hear this? Fairy Yan is the leader of the Fenglin Society, and now she is a disciple of the elders. Will she be attracted to our young master?"
The maids in the corridor were a little unconvinced.
Although they have not entered the ranks of practitioners, they also know that there are differences in the level of practitioners.
For example, Yan Suqing, who has a congenital spiritual vein and is a disciple of the elders of the upper sect, has a much higher status than ordinary practitioners.
Gu Xiuyun is a person with acquired spiritual veins after all. He has just entered the immortal path. How could he be favored by Yan Suqing?
"I heard this news from Fengmingxuan. You also know that Miss Yan Sushi, the master of Fengmingxuan, is the sister of the fairy Yan. What she said is naturally true."
The maids nodded suddenly.
In the distance of the corridor, Gu Xiuyun's eyebrows jumped slightly, "Yan Sushi, this girl, really dares to say anything."
He heard the conversation of the maids in the corridor clearly. A powerful person with a first-level open meridian has sharp six senses and can hear the voices within a radius of several miles.
"But speaking of it, the girl has been tortured by illness and can't even go out of the courtyard. Should I give her a pill?"
Gu Xiuyun touched the cloth bag on his waist.
The cloth bag was just a cover, and it contained a spirit bag.
He took a large number of pills from the secret library of Wuhen Sect, mainly Condensing Dew Pill and Hualing Pill. These pills were not very useful to him, and they were just decorations if he kept them, so Gu Xiuyun gave away many of them.
For example, his mother, Madam Yu, and his elder sister, Gu Xiushu, each received three Hualing Pills.
The spiritual power in Hualing Pills is pure, which can not only restore spiritual power, but also condense pseudo spiritual veins. As long as you take the pills, you can try to open the spiritual veins, and the spiritual pills are mild, so you don’t need to use true qi to suppress the medicinal power, and there is no risk of damaging the spine.
Even if you fail to open the spiritual veins, you can continue to try. Three Hualing Pills mean three chances.
So after Madam Yu and Gu Xiushu got the pills, they both started to try to open the spiritual veins.
Now that more than half a month has passed, they have successfully opened the spiritual veins and entered the ranks of practitioners.
As for his uncle Gu Qingzheng and his father Gu Qingyuan, he also gave them a few Ninglu Pills.
One of them is a strong man in the early stage of Kaimai Realm, and the other is still at the peak of Ximai Realm. It is a waste to give them Hualing Pills, which are not as effective as Ninglu Pills.
"Speaking of which, Yan Sushi
was married to me because she was flirted with by my previous life and lost her reputation. If I can cure her internal pain, it can be regarded as redemption for the sins of my previous life."
Thinking of this, Gu Xiuyun turned and walked towards Fengmingxuan.
Fengmingxuan is on the far right side of the mansion, occupying a large garden alone.
Since the two got married, the fourth branch of the Gu family has rebuilt a separate courtyard for them, but Gu Xiuyun has never been there. Only Yan Sushi and the maids and servants live in it.
Walking into the separate courtyard, silver bell-like laughter came from afar.
Gu Xiuyun looked up and saw several kites flying in the sky. Below them were Yan Sushi and several girls. They had their backs to him and kept pulling silk threads in their hands, as if they were competing to see whose kite was higher. There were also many servants and maids standing around.
These girls were dressed in light white robes. They were all concubines of the fourth branch. Although their status was not as good as that of the legitimate line, they were also well-dressed and well-fed, and lived a worry-free life.
As concubines, they don't need to practice desperately, they just need to grow up peacefully, and then, under the assignment of the family, marry practitioners from other races to consolidate the power of the Gu family.
The value of these girls' existence is marriage.
"A bird in a cage, no matter how beautiful it is, is just a puppet in the hands of others."
Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly.
Among concubines, there are naturally people with lofty ambitions who try to break the cage. They practice hard in the family every day in order to enlighten their spiritual veins and control their own lives.
But this road is too difficult, so there are not many people who can hold on to the end.
On the contrary, those concubines who are content with the status quo, although they are helpless, they also live freely.
Just as Gu Xiuyun was sighing, the servants in the courtyard had already discovered him.
"I (the servant) have seen Mr. Yun."
The servants and maids hurriedly bowed and knelt, their heads almost touching the ground.
Hearing the voice, Yan Sushi and the concubine's daughter beside her immediately turned around and looked behind.
"Hello, Brother Yun."
Several girls hurriedly saluted, only Yan Sushi remained motionless, her face turned cold.
"All of you go away, I have something to talk to Yan Sushi about." Gu Xiuyun said calmly.
"Yes!"
Several girls left with their servants, and the maids in the garden also left one after another.
"Gu Xiuyun, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly." Yan Sushi looked indifferent.
