The little white ape hid in the cave. Qin Xiyao didn't want to go back, but she was worried that there might be a trap inside the cave.

The temperature around the cave was not low, but she did not feel any discomfort. Standing at the entrance of the cave, she felt like she was taking a sunbath. The towering ancient trees around blocked the sunlight. Standing under the shade of the trees, normally there should be a cool breeze, but hot air kept coming out of the cave, and it was filled with smoke.

Qin Xiyao was not repulsed by the heat coming from the cave, but rather liked it very much, so much so that she couldn't help but want to go into the cave to find out what was going on.

"What if there's a treasure in the cave?"

"I came to Yaowang Valley just to collect herbs and make money, didn't I? If there were some Bu Tian Zhi or something like that in the cave, wouldn't that make me rich?"

Thinking of this, Qin Xiyao stepped into the cave with her feet honestly.

Bu Tian Zhi is the top-grade material for refining fire-attributed elixirs. It represents the purity of the flame herb and the power of flame, and is the goal pursued by alchemists.

By refining the Bu Tian Zhi, the properties of the Flame Spirit Grass can be improved, making it more powerful.

At the same time, the Bu Tian Zhi also symbolizes the cultivators’ desire to pursue immortality and overcome tribulations to become immortals. In the Xuankong Continent, it has a high degree of mystery and exploration value, and it is very precious!

Cultivators don't sell them easily! They usually appear in the auction houses of major chambers of commerce, with a starting price of 1 million K coins.

Qin Xiyao was thinking about the Bu Tian Zhi and didn't notice the situation inside the cave.

Under normal circumstances, the cave would be dark and damp, but the cave Qin Xiyao entered was a little different from other places. The light inside was quite good, and the entire cave was dyed red, as if many candles were lit.

The golden light in front of her eyes seemed to be a formation pattern, which brought Qin Xiyao back to her senses.

Later she realized that she seemed to have accidentally entered the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation, but the person who set up the formation seemed to have done so only to isolate herself from external interference and had no other intentions.

Anyone who breaks into the formation will be fine as long as they return the same way they came. However, if they try to force their way out, it will be difficult to say for sure.

The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation adds some elements to the traditional Eight Trigrams Formation to form a peculiar formation. If you don’t know much about the Eight Trigrams, Five Elements and Qimen Dunjia, it will be difficult to pass through this formation smoothly. For your own safety, it is safest to return by the original route!

But Qin Xiyao's Qiankun Ring contains books related to the Eight Trigrams, Five Elements, and Qimen Dunjia, so she has to try it no matter what!

For her, this is a challenge and the best way to improve her cultivation!

After some trials, she found that as long as she stood still and did not move, she would not be attacked by the formation.

Qin Xiyao took out books related to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and Qi Men Dun Jia from the Qiankun Ring. After some study, she learned that the Eight Trigrams are actually the eight directions of Kan, Qian, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui and Gen, which correspond to the eight gates of the static Qi Men Dun Jia, namely, Xiu, Kai, Shang, Du, Jing, Si, Jing and Sheng.

If you want to break the formation, just follow the rules of prosperity, growth, rest, imprisonment and death.

But the person who set up the formation was very skilled, and the formation moved every half an hour, which meant that it was meaningless to use communication equipment to determine one's position, and it was impossible to find the exit.

And if you accidentally enter the formation, you only have one chance to return to your original place!

Once you stay in the formation for half an hour or reach the next palace, there is no chance to return! You can only keep moving forward and find the exit!

There is no killing array in the formation, and it is not very aggressive, but if the cultivator in the formation does not have enough food, he is likely to be trapped to death in the formation.

Half an hour later, Qin Xiyao had just put the books related to the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams and Qi Men Dun Jia back into the Qiankun Ring when tree roots suddenly emerged from the ground around her. More and more of them grew taller and taller, trapping her in the middle. Before she could calm down, a group of foxes appeared from nowhere, circling around her and winking at her.

An ordinary cultivator would be frightened to death at least. Fortunately, Qin Xiyao was a female killer before coming to Xuankong Continent, so these illusions could not scare her.

She quickly crossed her legs and concentrated her mind, chanting the mantra: "Taishangtaixing, respond to changes without stopping..."

Fifteen minutes later, the illusion was lifted and the surroundings became quiet. Qin Xiyao learned from the illusion that she was currently in the Zhen Palace of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation, and the Xiu Gate among the eight gates. According to the rules of prosperity, prosperity, rest, imprisonment and death, she safely walked out of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation from the Sheng Gate.

Qin Xiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations around her, she hurriedly adjusted her breathing and sat down to meditate on the spot to draw the energy into her body.

When she calmed her mind and all the pores in her body opened up, the surrounding spiritual energy rushed into her body, making her feel warm and very comfortable.

Two hours later, Qin Xiyao stopped practicing. She successfully entered the fifth level of Qi training. The little white ape that had been making trouble for her before now ran to her, dancing and grinning, as if trying to please her!

"Now you know how to please your aunt?" Qin Xiyao smiled gently, but in the eyes of the little white ape, it was a bit creepy.

The little white ape began to feel scared. It nodded vigorously at Qin Xiyao, silently praying in its heart that Qin Xiyao would let it go and not hold a grudge against it for what happened before.

"It's too late! I heard that braised monkey meat tastes good too!" Qin Xiyao's smile was still very gentle.

The little white ape finally understood: it was useless to try to please Qin Xiyao! It had to run away quickly, otherwise it would become a dish on Qin Xiyao's table.

Who told it to have mixed spiritual roots and not practice well?

When Grandpa taught it how to practice Qigong, it would hide in a tree and eat bananas. When Grandpa taught it how to identify herbs, it would fall asleep while listening...

Now Qin Xiyao was going to take care of it and use it to make braised monkey meat. It began to regret not listening to its grandfather.

"Want to run? Is it too late?" The moment the little white ape turned around and was about to run away, Qin Xiyao was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She immediately grabbed the little white ape's hind legs with both hands and lifted it up in the air.

The little white ape was scared!

It struggled hard, making "huff! huff!" sounds, trying to slip away from Qin Xiyao's hands.

How could Qin Xiyao possibly let it go as she wished?

"You'd better not struggle, otherwise, I don't mind braising the ape's paw first!" Qin Xiyao threatened the little white ape with a gloomy face.

The little white ape immediately quieted down, cursing in his heart how unlucky he was. How could he fall into the hands of such an unsportsmanlike woman?

If the little white ape had known that Qin Xiyao was so difficult to deal with, it would have taken a detour long ago! There would be no need to worry about being made into braised ape paws by Qin Xiyao!

"That's right! I have been setting up this formation here for tens of thousands of years, and finally I have waited for the right person!" Secretly observing Qin Xiyao and the little white ape's every move, the Immortal Tianji finally spoke!

"Huff! Huff..." The little white ape heard the voice of the immortal Tianji and immediately sent out a signal for help.
