Chapter 849 Twin Magic Arrays, Powerful Puppets
Among the four people on this trip, except for Song Qingming, a third-level high-level formation master, the other three formation skills are not very high.
Facing this somewhat weird "ancient magic circle", everyone naturally still has to rely on Song Qingming's opinion.
After Song Qingyu and He Mengxin stood there and responded, Li Xuanyi didn't say much, nodded and then led Song Qingming into the white mist in front of him.
After a moment, the two landed on a bluestone step.
Li Xuanyi looked at the bluestone under his feet, then found a direction in the white mist in front of him and walked up.
After following Li Xuanyi to search in the white mist for a while, a blue stone lion about ten feet tall appeared in front of the two of them, and then Li Xuanyi stopped in his tracks.
The color of this bluestone lion is exactly the same as the bluestone below. In addition, it is shrouded in white mist. If it were not for senior sister Li Xuanyi to lead the way, it would be extremely difficult to detect its existence from a distance.
After arriving here, Li Xuanyi pointed to an ordinary iron ball in the lion's mouth and explained to Song Qingming:
"Junior Brother Song, this thing is the formation eye I found originally.
I remember that I just took out the stone ball, and the formation restriction disappeared directly.
But for some reason, after Qingyu and I found the Soul-nurturing Wood and met the Nascent Soul Puppet, the restriction suddenly came back, almost trapping the two of us in the formation. "
(PS: Some book friends said earlier that the name Soul-Gathering Wood is not very nice. I feel the same way, so I changed it to Soul-Raising Wood, and I will use this name from now on. I will slowly change the wrong things before, and still Please let everyone know!)
When she mentioned that the two of them were trapped in the restricted formation, Li Xuanyi still showed a trace of doubt on her face. Even now, she is still a little confused as to why the restricted formation suddenly recovered in the first place.
After hearing senior sister Li Xuanyi's explanation, Song Qingming immediately turned his eyes and stared at the bluestone lion in front of him, then closed his eyes and released his consciousness.
Through his own spiritual perception, Song Qingming soon discovered that a large amount of spiritual energy gathered in the mouth of the bluestone lion, and the concentration of spiritual energy was significantly higher than in other locations.
As a high-level formation master who practices the formation method, Song Qingming also quickly judged that what senior sister Li Xuanyi said before was right, there was indeed something about the formation eye hidden in the stone lion's mouth.
Seeing this, Song Qingming directly cast a spell to summon the "Golden Wind", and controlled it to step forward and grab the iron ball in the stone lion's mouth.
As soon as "Golden Wind" held the iron ball in his arm, a burst of spiritual light suddenly erupted from the blue stone lion, knocking him back several steps.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuanyi's face was not surprised. Just when he was about to speak, he saw a surge of mana in Song Qingming's hand, and an extra white array disk appeared in an instant.
The formation disk was already floating in mid-air the next moment, and then it shot a white light at the blue stone lion in the distance and enveloped it.
At this time, a burst of green light emerged from the stone lion's body and began to fight against the white light, and for a while it was not at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Song Qingming waved his hand and five more golden formation flags shot out, landing directly on the ground around the stone lions.
These formation flags were arranged according to the directions of the five elements. After landing, they shot out several rays of spiritual light upwards, which gathered into a circular pattern in mid-air and landed on the stone lion.
Through the blessing of the formation, the white light emitted by the formation disk in Song Qingming's hand quickly suppressed the green light on the stone lion.
"Golden Wind" who was standing aside saw this and stepped forward again and punched out, instantly shattering the iron ball in the stone lion's mouth. Soon, the aura of the entire blue stone lion immediately dimmed and then disappeared.
As the iron ball disappeared, Song Qingming immediately felt a change in the surrounding white mist, which began to slowly disperse in all directions, slowly revealing the entire high platform to everyone.
Seeing that Song Qingming had broken the restriction, Li Xuanyi immediately asked:
"Junior Brother Song, have you seen any clues?"
When Song Qingming heard this, he shook his head slightly and said: "There is nothing unusual about the formation eye outside. It is indeed the main formation eye that controls the entire formation. If it is destroyed from the outside, the formation will automatically dissipate.
As for why the formation suddenly recovered, I guess the problem is not with this formation eye, but rather with the fact that this formation is not controlled by a single formation eye.
If I read it correctly, this formation should be a twin formation with the same formation inside and outside! "
"Junior brother, what is the twin formation?"
After Song Qingming finished speaking, he saw that senior sister Li Xuanyi still had some confusion on her face. She nodded slightly and continued to explain:
"The so-called twin formation means that the person setting up the formation divides the two main formation eyes into yin and yang poles and sets them up in the formation.
The formation in front of us has an eye in the sun. Although we can directly enter the formation after breaking it, doing so does not actually completely break the formation.
Because there is also a Yin position hidden in this formation.
As long as the Yin position formation eye is still there, even if the forbidden formation is destroyed in a short period of time, it will be temporary and it will automatically recover soon.
If you want to crack it, you must find the Yin Position Formation Eye and destroy it together before the Formation Eye here recovers.
Otherwise, as long as one of the two formation eyes of Yin and Yang still exists, this forbidden formation will not be cracked and may be restored at any time.
This type of ancient formation restriction is very complicated to arrange. Although this is the first time I have encountered it, I have also seen similar records in some formation books. "
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, Li Xuanyi, who knew the complexity of this "twin magic array", could not help but frowned slightly and said:
"If that's the case, if we can't find the Yin position array eye in time, we will be easily trapped in it like last time.
And the Yuanying puppet can absorb the spiritual energy of the array to bless its own magic power. If we are trapped in the array and fight with it, I'm afraid we will suffer a lot.
It's still a bit dangerous to go in rashly.
Junior Brother Song, do you have any good ideas to break this array first?
This will weaken the Yuanying puppet's strength a lot, and we can also attack or defend, and withdraw at any time."
Hearing this, Song Qingming shook his head and said, "If my guess is correct, we don't have any tricks to deal with this formation.
We can only find a way to seal this formation eye first and try to delay its recovery time.
Next, we will enter the formation and whether we can successfully find the Yin position formation eye to break this formation. It depends on our own luck."
"Don't worry, brother Qi!
The area of the platform above is not large. As long as the formation eye is hidden nearby, we will definitely find it."
While the two were talking to each other, they found that Song Qingyu and He Mengxin, who had broken the formation restriction after the white mist in front of them dissipated, had also flashed and stood beside Song Qingming and the others.
As soon as Song Qingyu finished speaking, He Mengxin beside him also nodded slightly and said:
"Qingyu is right. With so many of us, and with Fellow Daoist Song, a high-level array master, it shouldn't be difficult to find the array's eye."
"Okay! Since no one has any objections, let's seal this place quickly and enter the array together!"
Seeing that no one had any objections, Song Qingming nodded slightly, took out a few sealing talismans from his body, and pasted them directly on the "blue stone lion" in front of him.
Because of the help of three Jindan cultivators such as Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming also saved a lot of effort when performing the sealing secret technique.
It took less than an incense stick of time to set up a sealing array at the position of the "blue stone lion" in front of him, and used the sealing talisman to isolate it from the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy.
After temporarily sealing the array's eye, the four of them walked up the steps under the leadership of Li Xuanyi, and soon came to the top of the high platform.
The top of the platform was still the same as when Li Xuanyi and the others came last time. There was nothing on it, except for a small pool of five or six feet in radius, located hundreds of feet away.
After a quick look around, everyone did not find anything unusual, so they came directly to the pool not far away and saw various high-level spiritual objects planted in the water.
"This is a high-level soul-nourishing tree. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see this rare high-level spiritual object when I came here this time. It really has increased my knowledge."
He Mengxin, who came here for the first time, couldn't help but exclaimed immediately when she saw the black "soul-nourishing tree" in the pool, and her eyes couldn't hide the surprise.
Before coming, Song Qingyu and Li Xuanyi did not explain the "soul-nourishing tree" to He Mengxin in detail, but only told her that there was a high-level spiritual object hidden here.
Although He Mengxin had some guesses in her mind that the high-level spiritual objects found by Song Qingyu and the others might be of high quality, she never expected that it would be a rare high-level spiritual object above level 4, such as the "Soul-nourishing Wood".
Seeing the excitement on He Mengxin's face, Li Xuanyi, who was standing beside him, quickly spoke to him:
"Fellow Daoist He, we came here for this thing. We didn't dare to tell you in advance because it was a matter of great importance. I hope you can forgive me.
These are the things I promised you before. Since you are here, please keep them first. I will replenish the remaining spiritual stones when I go out."
After Li Xuanyi finished speaking, the spiritual light in his hand moved slightly, and a storage bag that had been prepared long ago appeared immediately. He threw it directly to He Mengxin who was standing beside him.
Seeing the storage bag in his hand, He Mengxin quickly released his spiritual sense to explore it.
After a while, He Mengxin showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and then smiled and bowed to Li Xuanyi.
"Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Li!
We have already agreed before coming here that He is only here to help and just needs to get the due compensation.
As for the things in this pool, we have an agreement in advance, so it has nothing to do with me."
Although he didn't know how much Li Xuanyi and He Mengxin agreed to pay for their help, seeing the satisfied look on He Mengxin's face, Song Qingming could easily guess that there must be a lot of spiritual stones in the bag.
As for He Mengxin, who put away the spiritual stones, her eyes could not help but linger on the "Soul-nourishing Wood".
But He Mengxin was also very clear in her heart at this moment that no matter how good the things in front of her were, they had nothing to do with her.
After all, Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu had already signed a contract with her before coming to take the treasure this time.
The two parties were only in an employment relationship here. No matter what spiritual objects they got in the pool afterwards, they would belong to Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu.
Including Song Qingming, who came here this time, he was also hired by the two of them just to get a few high-level spiritual objects in this pool.
However, this agreement only applies to the spiritual creatures in the pool. The ghost pill that Song Qingming obtained by killing the "Black Armor Ghost King" on the way here is not included in the agreement.
"The Yuanying puppet hid in the pool last time. I guess as long as we don't go over and trigger the restriction, he shouldn't come out so quickly.
Just in case, we should first find the "Yin Position Formation Eye" to break the restrictive formation outside, and then discuss how to get the treasure! "
Therefore, after arriving here, Li Xuanyi did not rush for everyone to go to the pool to get the treasure. Instead, he followed the original plan and first broke the formation outside and then acted together.
After leaving Song Qingyu alone to monitor the pool, Song Qingming, Li Xuanyi, and He Mengxin immediately separated and began to look for another "Yin Position Formation Eye" hidden near the high platform.

What everyone didn't expect was that after searching around, they only found a few places with strong Yin energy, and did not find the "Yin position eye" that Song Qingming had mentioned before.
After a while, Song Qingming and others returned to the same place, with a look of disappointment on their faces.
"Fellow Daoist Song, you see there is nothing on this high platform. We have looked around and there is nothing suspicious.
Could it be that there is a mistake? This formation is not the twin formation you mentioned. "
Song Qingming, who returned to the original place, heard the doubts in He Mengxin beside him, but did not answer in a hurry. Instead, his eyes could not help but be locked tightly on the "Soul-nurturing Wood" not far away.
Seeing this scene, a trace of doubt gradually appeared in the eyes of Li Xuanyi and the three of them, and they all followed suit.
"Could it be that the Yin Position Formation Eye is in that pool?"
When Song Qingming heard this, he nodded slightly with a solemn expression and said: "
Unexpectedly, the people who set up the formation had already considered that someone would want to break the formation, so they specially placed the Nascent Soul puppet in the pool.
If my guess is correct, the array of eyes should be in the pool.
If we want to break this formation, we must first deal with the Nascent Soul puppet. These should have been planned by the other party. "
After hearing Song Qingming's explanation, the faces of everyone present could not help but look a little ugly.
Unexpectedly, the few of them spent a long time thinking about it, but they still couldn't get rid of the other party's plan. Without defeating the Nascent Soul puppet head-on, it would be impossible for them to get away with the treasure today.
"If that's the case, then we have nothing to think about!
I will join forces with fellow Daoist Song and Fellow Daoist He to hold down the Nascent Soul puppet later. Qingyu, find the right opportunity to go over and see if you can break the formation eye in the pool.
As long as he can break through the big formation outside, that guy shouldn't be able to make any big waves! "
At this point, everyone took out their magic weapons without hesitation and focused their attention on the pool.
As Li Xuanyi patted her waist with her right hand, a tall figure wearing a blue Taoist robe appeared in front of her.
Seeing that the "Golden Elixir Corpse Puppet" summoned by Li Xuanyi had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Elixir, which was much higher than the "Golden Wind" beside him, Song Qingming's face suddenly showed up. There was a hint of surprise.
Song Qingming had heard from her senior sister Li Xuanyi before that her inheritance of cultivating "corpse puppets" came from her family.
I just didn't expect that Li Xuanyi could cultivate "Corpse Puppet" so quickly. This shows that the inheritance of the Li family of "Yunlong Mountain" is indeed quite impressive.
Not only was Song Qingming a little surprised, He Mengxin also had a little surprise on his face when he saw such a powerful "corpse puppet" on Li Xuanyi.
Only Song Qingyu, who had seen Li Xuanyi use this "Golden Core Corpse Puppet" before, had a normal face at this time and was not too surprised by this.
After summoning his "Corpse Puppet", Li Xuanyi immediately flew into the air and launched an attack directly at the side of the pool.
In order not to harm several high-level spiritual objects in the pool, Li Xuanyi controlled the intensity of this attack very cleverly. When it fell into the water, it only caused a small splash, and the movement was not that big.
However, the next scene still did not surprise everyone.
Not long after Li Xuanyi's attack came down, there was a sudden noise in the pool, and then bursts of bubbles appeared in the entire pool, and a dark figure emerged from it.
Feeling the terrifying and powerful aura emanating from the black figure in front of them, Song Qingming and others immediately recognized him. This person should be the "Nascent Soul Puppet" that Li Xuanyi and the others encountered.
After seeing the appearance of this "Nascent Soul Puppet", the surrounding formations did not recover immediately, and Song Qingming and others' faces immediately showed a hint of joy.
It seems that the "sealing array" previously deployed outside did play some role and did not waste everyone's efforts.
Without the support of the surrounding formations, their confidence in defeating the opponent has increased a bit.
After the "Nascent Soul Puppet" appeared, it just paused in mid-air for a moment, and its aura immediately locked onto Song Qingming and the others not far away, and turned into a black light and rushed over.
Upon seeing this, Li Xuanyi, who was at the front of the crowd, took the lead in casting a spell and waving a golden flag in his hand. A golden dragon phantom emerged from it, and he stepped forward to meet them.
As soon as this golden dragon came to the side of the "Nascent Soul Puppet", it moved like a python prey and pulled the opponent tightly into it.
However, just a moment after the "Nascent Soul Puppet" was trapped by the golden dragon, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body.
Then he grabbed the golden dragon with both hands and pulled hard, tearing the dragon directly into pieces, and then quickly reached Li Xuanyi in a flash.
Just as the opponent raised his fist and prepared to hit Li Xuanyi, a golden bronze mirror suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the huge fist of the "Nascent Soul Puppet".
With a loud "boom!", Song Qingming, who was activating the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", was really pushed back several steps by the "Nascent Soul Puppet" before he gradually stabilized his body.
Before the "Nascent Soul Puppet" launched another attack, two red iron chains wrapped with fire suddenly appeared in the air, directly entangling his feet.
The "Nascent Soul Puppet", which was just about to move, could not help but stop again, and could only turn around and hit He Mengxin, who was controlling the magic weapon not far away.
Song Qingming and the other two had just fought with the "Nascent Soul Puppet", and Song Qingyu, who had used an invisibility magic, had also quietly touched the side of the pool.
Then, while the "Nascent Soul Puppet" was besieged by Song Qingming and others, he cast a spell to release a "water-proof shield" and then jumped directly into the somewhat dark pool in front of him.
In this battle, the main opponent of the crowd was the "Nascent Soul Puppet" outside.
But the key to victory or defeat is whether there is a way to find the "Yin Position Array Eye" and break the large array outside in advance.
As long as Song Qingyu can successfully break the "Yin Position Array Eye", without the threat of the large array outside, no matter how strong the "Nascent Soul Puppet" is, it will sooner or later be defeated by the siege of the four of them.
Just after entering the pool, Song Qingyu was about to search for the location of the array eye, but found that there were several black shadows standing under the pool around him, and his face showed surprise.
Not long after, there was another sound in the pool, and Song Qingyu, who had just jumped in, suddenly escaped from it again, and there were five or six figures who were also covered in black behind him.
"Seventh Brother, Senior Sister Li, there are Jindan puppets below!"
Hearing Song Qingyu's shout, Song Qingming and the other two who were fighting with the "Yuanying Puppet" suddenly changed their expressions and couldn't help showing a bit of ugliness.
Before, they only heard from Li Xuanyi and the others that there was only one "Yuanying Puppet" here and no other opponents. Suddenly, several Jindan puppets appeared, which caught everyone on the battlefield off guard.
Even Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu, who had been here once, were also very shocked. They couldn't understand why there were so many powerful puppets hidden in the water.
If these Jindan puppets came out to help them when they faced the "Yuanying Puppet", it would be difficult for them to escape no matter how strong they were.
"Fellow Daoist He, go help Qingyu, leave this guy to us!"
Seeing Song Qingyu alone facing the siege of six "Golden Core Puppets" not far away, he was already a little flustered. Song Qingming hurriedly sent a voice transmission to He Mengxin, asking her to go over and help Song Qingyu share some of the pressure.
After He Mengxin left, Song Qingming waved his hand and summoned all the "Silver Armor" and "White Lion Puppet Beast" in the bag on his waist, and said to Li Xuanyi beside him:
"Senior Sister Li, leave him to me, you go and break the formation!"
After that, Song Qingming had another white formation plate in his hand, and several puppets beside him quickly formed a "Wanling Puppet Formation" with him, actively released a circular shield, and stepped forward to block the black giant sword swung by the "Yuanying Puppet".
At this moment, Song Qingming knew very well that the seal of the formation eye outside would not last long.
At the moment, Song Qingyu and the other two were entangled by the puppets and could not break the formation. If they wanted to win, they could only let Li Xuanyi go to the pool to break the formation. Otherwise, once the formation outside recovered, they would definitely fall into a passive position.
