Ding vessel?

It is said that the tripod and the formation are inseparable. There are many schools of thought within the instrument-making field, but only formation masters will study the casting of the tripod.

The reason is that tripod-type magic weapons have extremely strong suppression capabilities. Using the tripod as the center of the formation can maximize the stability and toughness of the formation.

Other common ones include formation flags, formation diagrams, etc. Although they can also be used to suppress the center of the formation, the effects may not be as good as those of tripods.

When the elders heard Shi Liuli say that Luo Yan "found a tripod" outside, they were stunned at first, and then felt very uneasy.

This tripod...what kind of tripod is this?

Elder Miao Ling remained calm, thinking that it was probably an ancient tripod that he had specially found.

If it were an ordinary cauldron and used as the core of the Penglai sect protection formation, not to mention the Wanxiang Immortal, even the head of Xuandu would not agree.

Fortunately, I have already greeted Senior Yun Zhen. No matter how you perform, I will find out where you made mistakes.

No matter how proficient Master Jingyun is in formations, he is still only at the Golden Core stage. Could he be more powerful than Senior Yun Zhen who is at the Nascent Soul stage?

As long as the maintenance work of the sect-suppressing formation that Master Jingyun relies on is solved, his importance within Penglai will naturally decline gradually, and then he can slowly covet the resources of Tiangong Workshop.

However, this Master Dongyou is indeed a character. When Elder Shiding was here, he was low-key. But as soon as the pillar of Tiangongfang collapsed, he immediately stood up.

First, she secured a job maintaining the sect's formation for her husband, Master Jingyun, and then she taught herself the art of sword-making.

Ordinary sword-making apprentices, if they had learned the swords for the same amount of time as she did, would still be doing odd jobs for their masters! Not only did Master Dongyou start making finished swords, but he also achieved the best sales in the world. Many low-level monks flocked to buy them and praised them highly.

Although the elders complained about the poor quality of her sword forging, how long had she been an initiator? This number of years of initiation... to be able to achieve this level, she really had to be described as a demon.

Although they were hostile to each other, it did not prevent Elder Miaoling from having a keen eye for talent. If he had known that this girl was so outstanding, he should have proposed a marriage to Shi Ding in the beginning.

Master Xuandu went to inform Immortal Wanxiang, and the two of them went to Tiangong Workshop together. The elders hurriedly followed, and as a result, they saw Senior Yunzhen standing outside the main hall, looking around leisurely.

This senior left Penglai quite early, so many Penglai monks did not recognize him now. However, the elders present were naturally familiar with him and immediately went up to greet him.

As the host, the head of Xuandu Sect had to go over and exchange a few words of greeting. Taoist Yunzhen responded with a smile and then came over to greet Immortal Wanxiang.

"Oh, it's Yun Zhen." Wan Xiang Immortal said in surprise, "Didn't you set up your own 'Five Flags Gate' in the sea off Qingzhou? How come you have time to return to Penglai now?"

"In reply to the immortal, I heard that Penglai was previously besieged by the Demon Cult, and the sect's defense formation was stolen and broken by spies, so I wanted to come back and do my best to help." Taoist Yun Zhen said respectfully.

Speaking of spies, everyone naturally thought of the spy who was a disciple of Elder Shi Ding from Tiangong Workshop, so the elders all turned their attention to Shi Liuli.

Shi Liuli's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about the matter at all. Wanxiang Immortal did not respond, but just said lightly:

"Oh, you are thoughtful then."

Taoist Yun Zhen was somewhat helpless. Logically speaking, it would be more reliable to entrust the sect's protective formation to the Yuanying elders rather than to the Jindan Zhenren.

It's just that he has established his own sect for many years. Although it is still a branch of Penglai in name, it is hard to say how much relationship he still has with Penglai.

It was normal that people were unwilling to show him the sect protection formation due to safety considerations... But Taoist Yun Zhen really had no bad intentions. He just came back to see what was going on because he met Elder Miao Ling outside and heard from him that the sect protection formation was in charge of a young man who had just formed a golden elixir, and it had not been completed yet.

After all, the sect protection formation is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. If Penglai had not been breached from the inside by spies before, it would not have been damaged so seriously, so we still have to be cautious.

Noticing the cold attitude of Immortal Wanxiang, Taoist Yunzhen knew that this immortal was firmly on the side of Taoist Jingyun, and he immediately smiled bitterly in his heart.

The immortal has made his position clear, what else do you want to do, Miao Ling? Are you going to rebel?

"We are just about to go to Tiangongfang to look at the tripods." Wanxiang Immortal played the good cop and ruined the atmosphere, and Xuandu Sect Leader immediately played the good cop and tried to smooth things over, "Yunzhen, why don't you go with us?"

"Let's go together, let's go together." Taoist Yun Zhen hurriedly followed the ladder that was given to him and went down the stairs.

They all headed for Tiangong Workshop together, and on the way they attracted a lot of onlookers from passing monks: immortals, the head monk, elders, and an unknown outsider. Where were they going with so many big men?

When they arrived at Tiangong Workshop, they saw Luo Yan sitting on a rattan chair in the yard, fiddling with an eight-diagram mirror in his hand.

Casually placed in the middle of the yard was a tattered bronze square tripod with two handles, engraved with various characters that were barely visible due to the rust.

The Wanxiang Immortal took a first look and said: Oh, this style looks a bit like the Shennong Ding...

I took a second closer look: Hmm, could it really be the Shennong Ding?

He blinked hard and looked a third time: Damn!

The Wanxiang Immortal flicked his sleeves and quickly threw out several battle flags, covering the entire courtyard and isolating the inside and outside. He shouted hurriedly:

"Xuandu, close the door!"

Master Xuandu quickly stretched out his hand and quickly closed the gate of Tiangong Workshop, blocking the sight of all the monks who had followed to join in the fun outside.

The flag formation immediately imprisoned everyone, so much so that the headmaster and the elders all changed their expressions. Taoist Yun Zhen's expression changed drastically, wondering why the immortal was putting on such a posture? Could it be that he wanted to punish him?

As a result, Wanxiang Immortal ignored him and just pointed at Luo Yan and shouted:

“You, you, you…Jingyun! How can such a divine object be placed here!”

"Immortal." Luo Yan also stood up and saluted, "I would like to ask the Immortal to confirm whether this item is authentic."

The Immortal Wanxiang did not answer, but came to the Shennong Ding, stroked it with his sleeve, and the copper green fell off, revealing the words underneath.

"So... so..." He muttered to himself, unable to help but ask, "How could this not be the Shennong Ding?"

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Xuan Du's expression immediately changed. He then looked at the elders and Taoist Yun Zhen around him, all of whom looked shocked, and his mind suddenly became nervous and anxious.

If we had known earlier that it was the Shennong Ding, we would have kept the news strictly secret. Now we can only ask everyone to keep it strictly confidential.

The elders are all Penglai's disciples, so there is no need to worry, but how should Yun Zhen be dealt with? If he spreads the news, it will inevitably cause trouble for Penglai.

Before we figure out what to do with the Shennong Ding, the news must not leak out at all!
