The old monk in the early stage of foundation building did not move his body, but he was ready to take action.
He still held doubts. Apart from the foundation-building cultivators in the clan, even the younger generations in the clan did not know of the existence of this place. This was the clan's biggest secret.
A Qi-refining cultivator appeared here, and the weirdness of it was beyond his comprehension.
He wanted to contact Wei Lin outside through the formation and ask him about the Qi-refining cultivator before making a decision.
Li Shiming did not hesitate at all. He shot out a spiritual jade sword and hit the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
If he were a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building in a normal state, he would not dare to use the spiritual jade sword to attack.
The method of spiritual attack is a double-edged sword. When the spiritual power is stronger than that of the opponent, this method of spiritual attack is the most powerful means of attack. However, if the spiritual power is weaker than that of the opponent, actively using spiritual attack will bring backlash to one's own spirit.
The old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building in front of him was already in an old state. It was estimated that he rarely moved his body in normal times in order to live longer.
Such cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, except for having more refined spiritual power, are at the lowest point in their lives both physically and mentally.
Sure enough, Li Shiming's spiritual jade sword flew out, and the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building sensed his spiritual attack, but his body did not move for a long time and he was unable to react in time.
Besides, the speed of the Lingmind Jade Sword is faster than a real flying sword. In this small hall, it is impossible to dodge it even if you are prepared.
"Ah!" The old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building let out a scream.
However, he is a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building after all. Even if he is weak due to age, he cannot be injured by a spiritual jade sword.
The spiritual jade sword only shocked his spirit and caused him severe pain.
Just as the old monk in the early stage of foundation building was attacked by the spiritual jade sword, his clone appeared in the hall.
Li Shiming had the experience of fighting with a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building last time. He knew how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and to make full use of his advantages to fight against a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
The clone arrived in front of the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building in one step, and a third-grade sword appeared in his hand, slashing towards the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Just when the third-grade sword was about to chop down the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, a ray of spiritual energy protected the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Although this old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building is a casual cultivator, casual cultivators are also different.
No matter what, the Wei family of immortal cultivation is still a wealthy family among the independent cultivators. They occupy a market town and have enough spare capacity to seize other resources.
The old monk in the early stage of foundation building also had a life-saving item on him, a passive defensive spiritual weapon, which blocked the attack of the clone.
At this time, Li Shiming's real body arrived and slashed down with the third-grade sword in his hand.
The difference from the clone was that the sword of the original body carried a sword intent, causing the defensive spiritual weapon to shake continuously.
At this time, the clone was also a spiritual jade sword, which stabbed at the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, causing the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, who had just recovered from the spiritual jade sword of the original body, to fall into mental pain again.
"Dang dang dang dang!" Li Shiming's original body and clone were like two skilled blacksmiths, and the old monk in the early stage of foundation building was the iron billet being forged.
The terrifying force, coupled with the sword intent that the main body was constantly exerting on the defensive spiritual weapon, caused the body of the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building to tremble.
The poor old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building would be stabbed by the spiritual jade sword of his original body or clone as soon as he recovered, and would fall into uncontrollable mental pain again.
Li Shiming had seized an advantage and was determined to exploit it desperately.
This method is extremely effective. The old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building has been in pain since the beginning of the battle and has been unable to make any counterattack.
After dozens of attacks, the defensive spiritual weapon finally lost its effectiveness and fell to the ground. The main body swept the neck of the old monk in the early stage of foundation building with a sword, and his head flew off.
The clone's spiritual consciousness swept over and put the blood and corpse aside.
The body of the old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was moved away, and Li Shiming saw that where the old cultivator was sitting, there was a piece of jade ground with complex patterns on it. It was the control core of the formation made of formation materials.
The senior formation master who designed the formation for the Wei family’s base definitely put a lot of effort into it. He probably took into account that there were no cultivators in the Wei family who were good at formations, so he specially made this fool-proof formation control core.
No wonder Li Shiming used seventy-two formation flags to seal off the cave outside the cave, but he was not discovered. It turned out that the one who controlled the core of the formation was this old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building who did not understand formations.
Li Shiming's spiritual thoughts penetrated into the control core of the formation, and he immediately understood all the situations of the entire formation.
In the formation of the Wei family’s base, every node, every spiritual power line, all authority was under his control.
He saw that the three foundation-building monks of the Tie family were still attacking, but the frequency of their attacks was no longer so frequent.
Come to think of it, if this goes on for a long time, there's no need to fight. Just continuously launching attacks will consume too much spiritual energy, let alone killing the monks stationed in the Wei family's base.
Li Shiming's mind moved, and he controlled the formation to open a passage in front of one of the three Tie family foundation-building cultivators who was in the early stage of foundation-building.
The magic weapon used by this Tie family cultivator in the early stage of foundation building to attack sank into the formation. He thought that he had broken the formation, and instinctively rushed into the Wei family’s base.
Just after he passed through the formation's defense layer, the formation's defense layer was restored.
The other two Tie family foundation-building cultivators were stunned when they saw this situation, because the formation in front of them was not broken.
They hurried to the location where the Tie family cultivator in the early stage of foundation building had been, but the formation's defense layer still blocked them.
"Oh no! The third brother has fallen into the trap!" The Tie family's mid-stage foundation building cultivator screamed. He turned around and shouted to the more than 30 cultivators who followed him, "Come here and attack together!"
At this point, they can only concentrate all their efforts to break the formation, otherwise the Tie family cultivators in the early stage of foundation building who enter inside will most likely die.
Although the attack power of more than thirty Qi-refining monks is limited, the extra strength can consume more energy of the formation.
This was also a helpless move. They couldn't just lose a Tie family foundation-building cultivator for nothing, as that would be a huge blow to the Tie family.
The world of immortal cultivation is in chaos now. The Tie family, which is missing a foundation-building cultivator, will no longer have any offensive power and can only fall into a situation of self-preservation.
After a period of time, when the other families become stronger, the Tie family will be destroyed by other immortal cultivation forces just like the Wei family.
The Tie family's early foundation-building cultivator who rushed into the base happened to look at Wei Lin. Wei Lin didn't know how this Tie family's early foundation-building cultivator got in.
There's no point in saying anything more now, we can only fight.
Both sides used super-grade magic weapons, and the two super-grade swords collided with each other, making a sound of metal.
Both of them were cultivators in the early stage of foundation building and were very familiar with each other, so the battle was fought back and forth from the beginning.
A Qi-refining cultivator from the Wei family was swept by the aftermath of the battle. His body flew straight out, hit the wall, and fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood and his breath was scattered.
"You guys retreat to the back first!" Wei Lin ordered loudly.
There were not many cultivators who originally stayed in the Wei family’s residence. Most of them were younger members of the clan, and there were also several cultivators from other families who had been trained since childhood.
But no matter whether they are the younger generation of the clan or the cultivators from other families, they are all cultivators of the Wei family, and the loss of any one of them would make Wei Lin feel reluctant.
He secretly regretted in his heart that if most of the cultivators in the clan had not gone to seize the spiritual mine, how could they have fallen to the point of relying entirely on formations.
The Qi-refining cultivators of the Wei family were anxious to get away from the battlefield between the two Foundation-building cultivators, but they suddenly discovered that the formations around them had blocked off the area, and they had no way to retreat.
This was naturally done by Li Shiming. He locked up Tie's early foundation-building cultivator together with Wei Lin and a group of Wei's Qi-refining cultivators. This battle would be something to watch.
How could the Tie family's early foundation-building cultivators watch the Wei family's Qi-refining cultivators escape? Killing more Wei family's Qi-refining cultivators at this time would definitely affect Wei Lin's state of mind.
So he flashed and caught up with the Wei family's Qi-refining cultivator. In addition, the Wei family's Qi-refining cultivator suddenly stopped, which gave him the opportunity to kill everyone.
The Wei family's Qi-refining cultivators were just about to tell Wei Lin about the situation of the formation, but before they could say anything, they were massacred by the Tie family's early foundation-building cultivators.
"Tie Lao San, how dare you!" Wei Lin said angrily.
He used all his strength to drive the super-grade sword to attack. Tie Lao San smiled and turned around to meet the attack with the super-grade sword. The two super-grade magic weapons collided again, and the spiritual power shock wave generated by them blew away the few remaining Qi-refining monks.
This group of Wei family's Qi-refining cultivators were either dead or seriously injured in a moment.
"Wei Lin, this is what you did, it has nothing to do with me!" Tie Lao San said provocatively.
Wei Lin's eyes were red. Among these Wei family descendants, there were his direct descendants. Seeing their tragic deaths, he had no more scruples.
He took out three talismans, each of which had the power of a full-strength attack in the early stage of foundation building.
This was made by Wei himself, but unfortunately the source of materials for making such talismans is limited. More importantly, the talisman maker who was in the early stage of foundation building is now old and can no longer make foundation building talismans.
The talent required to make foundation-building talismans is too high. Even though the Wei family has inherited the tradition, they have not been able to train a second foundation-building talisman maker.
Therefore, the talismans in the initial stage of foundation building are Wei’s trump card, and one less talisman is one less if used.
When Tie Lao San saw the talisman for the initial stage of foundation building, his face tightened and he spat out three mouthfuls of blood on the super-grade sword, with reluctance in his eyes.
"burst!"
"die!"
Two voices were shouted almost at the same time, and three talismans turned into three ice blades and shot at Tie Lao San's defensive magic weapon.
The defensive magic weapon was directly shattered, and then Tie Laosan's body was hit by the residual power of the talisman and flew backwards.
On the other side, not far from Wei Lin, Tie Laosan's super-grade sword exploded. The horrific explosion caused serious damage to Wei Lin's super-grade sword. The power of the super-grade sword's self-explosion was too great. Multiple explosion fragments, wrapped in the original violent spiritual power in the super-grade sword, attacked Wei Lin.
Wei Lin's defensive magic weapon was also broken in a moment. His body was pierced by multiple fragments. The violent spiritual power shock wave swept through his body, causing him to fly several meters away and fall softly to the ground.
The battle stopped. Once the two cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, who originally had similar strength, used desperate means and their attack power was greater than their defense power, it was inevitable that both sides would suffer losses.
"Hehe, once eldest brother breaks the formation, you, the Wei family, can just prepare to be exterminated!" Although Tie Lao San was seriously injured, he was not too depressed. He said while spitting out blood.
He thought that Wei Lin was seriously injured, so the defensive formation here would have no one to preside over it, and it would be easier to break the formation from the outside.
"Hehe, do you think that my Wei family only has me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, left?" Wei Lin, who was also coughing up blood, said sarcastically.
He naturally knew that another old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was controlling the formation. Although the old cultivator was very powerful, it would not be a problem for him to kill the seriously injured Tie Lao San after discovering this place.
Both sides were full of confidence and glared at each other.
At this time, a figure walked over from behind, and Tie Laosan and Wei Lin hurriedly looked over.
Wei Lin thought it was a cultivator from the clan, and Tie Lao San thought so too. However, after seeing the man's face, Wei Lin was stunned at first and then hesitated.
The one who came was his clone. Tie Lao San sensed that the clone had the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his heart darkened.
"I am so unwilling to die at the hands of a pretty boy!" Tie Lao San was unable to launch any attack, only his mouth remained hard.
Even when he was about to die, he still mocked the appearance of his clone.
The clone responded with a flash of sword light, and the golden sword flew out and pierced his head.
The golden sword flew out from the back of Tie Lao San's head and turned towards Wei Lin. In the extremely unwilling and puzzled look of Wei Lin, the sword also pierced his skull.
The clone began to calmly pick up the storage bags left on the ground. After putting away all the storage bags, he took out thirty-six formation flags. These were his last formation flags.
He placed thirty-six battle flags in various locations throughout the Wei camp.
With the integration of thirty-six formation flags, the overall controllability and defensive power of this formation have been further improved.
Li Shiming in the cave had a smile on his face. A high-level formation master, a carefully arranged high-level formation, and top-grade spiritual veins were enough to block the attacks of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
He is not the previous Wei family cultivator and does not understand the knowledge of formations.
In his hands, the effectiveness of this formation will be exerted 200%.
In other words, at least unless the Jindan cultivator shows up, this Wei family base will be his.
As for what to do if a Jindan cultivator appeared, as long as a Jindan cultivator arrived, he would naturally use the formation to block the Jindan cultivator for a moment, and then flee far away and give up this place.
Besides, if there really is a Jindan cultivator among the casual cultivators, he would not look down on the small industry of the Wei family's immortal cultivation family. I am afraid that the cost of asking a Jindan cultivator to take action is greater than the cost of taking over the Wei family's industry.
Li Shiming did not expect to succeed so easily. He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the troubles of the Wei family to find a way to get some benefits from the Wei family.
