The little junior sister said the sect was poor, so she would pluck feathers from passing geese and take skins from departing beasts. The declining Taiqiong Sect, in its poverty, eventually became ...
Chapter 223: Practice Quickly
Qi Haoran ran over excitedly, carrying a scale as tall as two people, "Junior Sister, look, this scale is so big, it must be the scale of the Ancestral Dragon."
Zhong Linger shook her head and sighed, "Fifth Brother, you should have a broad mind. This land is ours, and the treasures on the ground can't run away. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Qi Haoran's smile froze, and the others also stopped looking for treasure and looked over.
"Aren't we supposed to find something to feel this rich spiritual energy? In a dozen days, when the outer formation opens, I wonder how many people will come in. The spiritual energy will definitely not be this rich by then. So, the most important thing now is to practice, practice!"
"With such a good opportunity, if you can't improve two or three small realms, you are either stupid or have poor aptitude. Master, uncles, and brothers, do you understand?"
Ouyang Ruochen twitched his lips and said, "I understand!" Then he immediately sat down and began to practice.
Master Wu Chen was ashamed, thinking that his vision was indeed too narrow. It was his disciple who had to do things according to rules, and he, as their master, must not fall behind.
Qi Haoran threw the scale away and sat cross-legged. What's the point of that? It's just stinginess. It's just to seize the opportunity and absorb more spiritual energy. He said it so nicely. It's just to improve three realms. He is really more ruthless than the eldest brother.
Seeing that everyone sat down cross-legged and began to practice, Zhong Ling'er set up a spirit gathering array around them. The spiritual energy, which was already as dense as white rain, rushed towards the few people like crazy, forming a sea of spiritual energy from afar.
Several people seemed to be immersed in a sea of spiritual energy. Every pore on their bodies was clamoring with joy and swallowing nutrients in big gulps. Soon, Qi Haoran, who felt the most pressure, broke through a small realm.
Very satisfied with the condition of everyone, Zhong Ling'er was just about to set up a mountain protection formation to protect this place, but she heard Canghai's voice.
"Zhong Ling'er, why didn't you call me for such a good thing? If it weren't for the strong spiritual energy that penetrated your body, I would have almost missed out on the real delicacy."
Zhong Ling'er then remembered the Cang Hai Pearl and immediately asked, "How do we receive the spiritual energy? Do we also need a small tower?"
"Of course, it's just like the devil's energy. Is there any need to ask?"
Zhong Ling'er was speechless, but he had just forgotten about the Canghai Pearl and was indeed in the wrong, so he did not say anything. Instead, he walked away and released all the souls in his sea of consciousness except for the Will of Heaven and the Canghai Pearl, which were not allowed to be seen by others.
Old Ji took the small tower to collect spiritual energy, and the Ancestral Dragon's soul grabbed the Cangyu Divine Sword and the Xuanyi Sword Stele, and was sent by Zhong Ling'er to install the boundary stone for the Duoyin Pavilion. Only Zhong Ling'er was left carrying the mace, throwing the magic spirit bead, and taking 2.58 million steps to start the King's patrol of the mountains.
Zulong brought Cangyu and Xuanyi to the entrance of the battlefield from the earth veins, and people saw two men in black robes suddenly appear in the Taiqiong Mirror. They were full of sharp sword intent and moved very fast, far beyond the speed of those monks flying with swords. Then they came to the territory of Duoyin Pavilion and began to lay out boundary stones.
Everyone suddenly realized that the people from Duoyin Pavilion had appeared. They really were the people in black robes who did not want to show up.
Of course, this black robe was an ordinary black robe prepared by Zhong Ling'er in advance. It was different from the black robe used for doing bad things earlier in terms of style and fabric. People in the immortal world who did not want to show up wore this robe. Therefore, the two of them only made people feel surprised, but did not cause unnecessary hostility.
Some people also saw that people from Duoyin Pavilion had actually come, and they gathered around curiously, but Cangyu's powerful and fierce aura blocked everyone back. As a result, the news that Duoyin Pavilion was a mysterious and powerful force spread like wildfire.
At this time, white light continued to rise, and the area visible on the Taiqiong Mirror became smaller and smaller. In the end, only the people waiting at the entrance and those who wanted to take advantage but could not get in were left.
Xuanyuan Hongyuan looked at the rising white light curtain and couldn't help but sigh: "Junior sister is really flawless in her work. The boundary stones are laid along the Heavenly Dao Mark, eliminating the need for territorial disputes. The outer formation blocks irrelevant people from entering, protecting the interests of each sect. From distributing rewards to ensuring that the rewards reach everyone, there is really nothing wrong with it."
Xuanyuan Ying'er puffed out her chest proudly, "Of course, although the little junior sister is small, she is the most powerful. She is cute and smart. Ah, I love her more and more."
Xuanyuan Bing'er nodded slightly. Her hostility towards Zhong Ling'er became less and less, and she began to notice her good side.
The head of the Xuanyuan family laughed and turned to ask a few juniors: "Guess what Zhong Ling'er is doing at this moment?"
Xuanyuan Hongzhi chuckled, "Collect resources, collect all the good stuff, and maybe even dig up the ground to find it, to ensure that after the outer formation is opened, those casual cultivators who come in won't be able to pick up a single hair."
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed, then looked at each other and consciously followed Zhong Ling'er's example to search the entire place.
Five days later, the head of the Xuanyuan family finally discovered something was wrong. The spiritual energy around him was like smoke and fog. It was floating slowly when it came in, but now it seemed to be pulled and kept flowing to one side. After identifying the direction, he found that it was the Taiqiong Sect.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and the head of the Xuanyuan family slapped his thigh, "Wrong, stop, stop now!"
The others looked over in confusion, and the head of the Xuanyuan family said anxiously, "The people of the Taiqiong Sect are not clearing the battlefield, but practicing, using the turbulent spiritual energy here to practice."
"Practice, but the formation will be opened in a few days. Aren't they afraid that their things will be stolen?"
Facing Xuanyuan Hongyi's question, Xuanyuan Hongyuan's face did not look good after he reacted, "You forgot that Zhong Ling'er's formation is very powerful."
"But we didn't bring a formation master with us, so we can only choose between resources and spiritual energy."
Xuanyuan Ying'er sighed in regret, thinking that the junior sister was still more skilled. If they had known earlier, they would have brought in a formation master and the problem would have been solved.
The head of the Xuanyuan family shook his head and sighed, "You guys should hurry up and improve your cultivation. The two elders and I will collect the important things first."
Two days later, many sects and families felt that the spiritual energy was not as strong as when they first came in, and they all realized it, but they were still faced with the problem of choosing between two options, so they could only sigh and regret.
On the day before the outer formation dissipated, the mark of the Heavenly Dao in the battlefield had disappeared, and the light of the boundary stone also dimmed. In some places, the boundary stone had merged with the earth, and the light disappeared, turning into an ordinary stone marking the boundary.
The situation inside could be seen again on the Taiqiong Mirror, and many people exclaimed in surprise.
"Look, Taiqiong Sect has put up a formation. It looks like a mountain protection formation. Junior sister is awesome. She has built a mountain protection formation in just a few days."
"I think Duoyin Pavilion is not bad. The whole area is hidden in the white fog and nothing can be seen. Who would believe that there is no formation?"
