Chapter 121 Wanbao Tower (First Update)
——Thank you Xiao^^Lin for voting.
These roads are very wide, with jade trees and white flowers on both sides, which are beautiful, but there are flashes of lightning from time to time, which makes people afraid. There is a ban on flying on the road, and you can only rely on the strength of the body and the blessing of magic to move forward.
"Daoyou Sun, I didn't expect you to have such a rare magic weapon. I'm afraid you have completed the seventh heaven?" Liang Qingqing walked to Shi Xuan casually and talked with a smile. The fragrance on her body penetrated into Shi Xuan's nostrils, which was particularly pleasant.
Among the others, Zhao Jinyu had a weird expression since Zhao Jingding told her something in secret. She was puzzled and confused. At this time, she walked silently accompanied by Lei Guangyao. As for Lei Guangyao, he separated Shi Xuan and Zhao Jinyu like an old hen protecting her chicks, and looked at Shi Xuan vigilantly from time to time. Jin Shijie and Hu Xingwu, two one-armed men, walked silently in front.
Shi Xuan glanced at Liang Qingqing and replied with a fake smile: "How can I compare to you, sister Qingqing? I spent a lot of effort to get out of the formation, but you came back safely without any damage." Not to mention that Shi Xuan himself had no good feelings for Liang Qingqing, even Sun Bufan, played by Shi Xuan, was not a fool who could not think when he saw a woman.
Liang Qingqing's eyes were slightly red, and she was about to cry: "I know, you all think that Qingqing let Brother Liu die for her so that she could escape, but it's really not like that. Brother Liu took the initiative to sacrifice himself, and Qingqing didn't want to."
"So what, I don't want to 'take the initiative' to sacrifice myself later." No matter what the truth was, Shi Xuan didn't intend to pay attention to Liang Qingqing, so there is a saying that goes, "No desire makes you strong."
Liang Qingqing's pearl-like tears flowed down her cheeks, aggrieved and sad, extremely moving, but unfortunately Shi Xuan's heart was as hard as iron, and he walked a few steps faster without wavering, and walked side by side with Jin Shijie and Hu Xingwu. Others noticed the two's movements and looked at Liang Qingqing with ridicule. Zhao Jinyu also cast an approving look at Shi Xuan.
"Miss Zhao, how can we break the ban later?" Jin Shijie asked about the matter that everyone was concerned about.
Zhao Jinyu took out the golden talisman that Zhao Jingding had just given her: "This is the ban-breaking talisman that my father spent decades refining. With our formation of the Ten Thousand Flows Returning to the Sea, and with full power, we have a 30% chance of breaking the third layer of the ban."
Jin Shijie nodded: "That's very good." A 30% chance is already high. With the means of the other three sects, the breaking of the third layer of the ban seems to be just around the corner.
For the next period of time, several people were silent. On the one hand, it was the depressed mood in the Immortal Mansion, and on the other hand, they concentrated on preparing for the fight in Wanbao Tower. Zhao Jinyu did secretly look at Shi Xuan a few times, as if he wanted to come over to thank him, but was pestered by Lei Guangyao, so he had to give up.
An hour later, a four-story building was finally seen in front of them. It was carved with gold and jade, surrounded by light white mist, full of fairy spirit, especially on the top floor, which was occasionally filled with rosy clouds and released thousands of auspicious auras. It was obvious that something extraordinary was inside.
"Fellow Daoists, let's go in quickly. The restrictions on the first two floors are gone. We can go directly to the third floor without worry. I don't know if the disciples of Huangfeng Valley and Houtu Sect have arrived before us." Lei Guangyao said to Jin Shijie, Hu Xingwu, Liang Qingqing, and Shi Xuan. At this time, Liang Qingqing had regained her composure, but her face was miserable, which made a normal man want to hug her and take care of her.
All of them nodded silently. They had worked hard to get through the formation. Whether they would have a good life or not in the future depended on this gamble, especially Jin Shijie, who had exhausted all the gains from his previous adventures. For Shi Xuan, whether he could successfully refine his natal magic weapon also depended on this time.
The first floor of Wanbao Tower was cold and deserted. The floor was paved with shiny blue bricks. When you stepped on them, you would hear crisp echoes. Some of the shelves for instruments and materials fell to the ground, some were seriously damaged, and some were well preserved. The only thing they had in common was that they were all empty.
At the end of the hall was a green light column, emitting a hazy light. After Shi Xuan and others stepped into it, they immediately came to the second floor of Wanbao Tower.
As soon as they entered the third floor in the same way, they heard noisy sounds. It seemed that someone had arrived first.
The biggest difference between the third floor and the previous two floors was that there was a crystal clear crystal wall between the entrance and the hall, on which complex restrictions emerged, emitting bursts of golden light under stimulation.
In front of the crystal wall were two groups of people, one was the monk Huang Fenggu in yellow Taoist robes and the other was the monk Hou Tu Zong in brown Taoist robes. Each of them had only five or six disciples, and they were concentrating on breaking the restrictions.
Among them, Shi Xuan recognized four familiar faces, Li Wannian and Wen Zhihong from Huangfeng Valley, and Tan Shizhen and Li Yu from Houtu Sect. Of course, Shi Xuan had only seen them before and did not know their names.
Seeing them come in, the two groups of monks just looked up and continued their work of breaking the restrictions. Huangfeng Valley had six monks holding six command flags and standing in a formation. It seemed that they were going to break the formation with the formation, and they shot white light on the crystal wall from time to time. Houtu Sect surrounded an old monk with white hair and eyebrows, who looked like he would die in the next moment and whose wrinkles on his face could kill a fly, and gathered their true energy to him. The old monk held a compass similar to Zhao Jingding Tianyan's array exploration disk and released a compass phantom on the crystal wall. The restrictions around the phantom began to twist and deform, but were twisted back by the crystal wall.
The crystal wall was not just for defense. It emitted a golden light from time to time to attack the disciples of Huang Feng Valley and Hou Tu Sect. However, they were well prepared. Huang Feng Valley used its own formation for protection, while the other four cultivators of Hou Tu Sect tried their best to protect the old cultivator.
When Shi Xuan and his men were preparing to set up the Ten Thousand Flows Returning to the Sea formation and activate the forbidden talisman, the people from the Zixia Sect also arrived. There were six of them in total, four of whom were Shi Xuan's acquaintances - Jiang Zonghan, Dong Yiyi, Gu Yun, and Fang Xuan.
"Li Huzi, Granny Li, I didn't expect you to arrive so early. I can't catch up." Dong Yiyi, a young woman in palace dress, saw the situation on the third floor and greeted the other two sects with a faint smile.
Li Wannian was too busy to answer at this time. Only the white-haired old woman Li Yu, while protecting the old cultivator, replied sarcastically: "That's because you, sister Dong, wanted to take advantage of the situation, so you came late."
Dong Yiyi was not angry, nor did she organize the disciples of Zixia Sect to break the ban. She smiled and watched for a while before speaking: "I see that the Taoist friends from both sects are having a hard time breaking the ban. If they continue to fight on their own, I'm afraid they won't be able to break it when the time comes. Why don't we work together to break the ban first, and then we can discuss who is better." While speaking, she looked at the disciples of Huangfeng Valley, Houtu Sect and the independent cultivators on Zhao Jinyu's side.
The six disciples of Huangfeng Valley looked at each other, tacitly retracted the formation, and retreated. Then Li Wannian stood up: "Sister Dong, since we have to work together, we naturally have to set a rule, right?"
The cultivators of Houtu Sect also stopped and looked at Dong Yiyi with sharp eyes, and Shi Xuan and other casual cultivators also consciously stood behind Zhao Jinyu, waiting to discuss the results.
"Oh, what rules can there be? Naturally, everyone will combine their strength to break the formation. As for breaking the ban, it will naturally depend on their own abilities. I think everyone is afraid of being tied up and dare not give it a try, right?" Dong Yiyi looked around with a smile, and when she saw that the cultivators did not object, she knew that she had touched their hearts.
Li Wannian said in a deep voice: "What about when we break the formation? What if someone saves his strength?"
"If we find someone saving his strength, then everyone can kill him, right? And if we can break the restriction, it will naturally take a short time. Even if we use all our strength, it will not consume much and will not delay the subsequent competition. I don't think anyone will be so stupid. After all, if we can't open the restriction, we can't get anything!" This time it was Jiang Zonghan who stood up.
Everyone showed a look of agreement.
Seeing that the strategy was granted, Dong Yiyi smiled: "So, no one objects, right?"
"But how should we work together?" Zhao Jinyu asked doubtfully.
"Of course, I have to ask Mr. Cao about this. He is a master of formations and restrictions." Dong Yiyi smiled and pointed at the monk who was about to die of old age.
Mr. Cao nodded expressionlessly: "I have discovered the weakness of the restriction here. If we gather the strength of all families, we should be able to break the restriction." Then he talked about how to cooperate. In short, it is to focus all their methods on the weakness of the restriction.
According to the instructions of Elder Cao, Shi Xuan and other casual cultivators arranged the Ten Thousand Flows Returning to the Sea formation. At this time, only Zhao Jinyu was the center of the formation, but it was more than enough to activate the forbidden talisman.
Through the crystal wall, Shi Xuan could see most of the things in the third-floor hall. The third floor was much more spacious than the previous two floors. There were only more than ten white jade tables placed against the walls on the left and right, ten on the left and six on the right, and a large area in the middle without anything.
There was an artifact on each white jade table, and they were all sealed in a crystal box, each emitting different light, illuminating the hall with colorful and beautiful colors.
On the left white jade table were the materials for refining equipment. Except for the artifact on the innermost table that Shi Xuan could not see, there were a total of nine kinds. There is a Chaos Fish Skin that is black and white in a Tai Chi pattern, but dull, and a Two-World Divine Stone that is sometimes black and sometimes white and dazzling. What surprised Shi Xuan was that on the penultimate white jade table, there was a piece of jade that looked like black and white, with a sharp upper part and a flat lower end, which made people feel hot and cold. It had a simple and mysterious pattern on it. It was the Yin-Yang Jade Gui!
The rest included Taiyin Cold Iron, Western Real Gold, Tianhe Star Sand, a jade cup of Nine Yang True Water, a handful of soil-like Wu Earth Essence, and Seven-hole Exquisite Wood, all of which were radiant and not like ordinary things. These were all inferred by Shi Xuan based on the records in the Taoist books he had read (the jade slips can record images). After all, no Yang Shen Zhenren would specifically put a name under his own collection. You must know that with Shi Xuan's current cultivation, his memory is very strong, not to mention the Yang Shen Zhenren who achieved the Yuan Shen and survived the thunder tribulation.
At the same time, Shi Xuan could only sigh in his heart that the collection of the ancient Yang Shen Zhenren was indeed extraordinary! Moreover, it can be seen that Master Guangyang is preparing to refine a magic weapon for the transformation of yin and yang.
On the white jade table on the right are shields, mirrors, seals, swords, clothes and other spiritual weapons, as well as jade slips with their refining and sacrifice methods. There are six kinds in total, including two flying swords, one purple and one red. The purple flying sword is three feet and three inches long, and the red flying sword is two feet and seven inches long. There is a faint sound of wind and thunder. These spiritual weapons, just looking at them, make people feel a great pressure.
