"I'm going to practice!"
After setting up the formation, Lu Zhu said something in a huff, then ran into the inner room and never came out again.
Xiang Sheng did not follow in, but straightened his robe and sat down cross-legged at the edge of the formation at the door.
The room was obscured by a formation and the light was dim. She lit the oil lamp and took out the gold paper to continue her research.
She had a strong intuition that the sect was going to take action against the independent cultivators, and once they did, the scale of the attack would be significant.
After setting up these three formations, Lu Zhu felt that she was making a fuss and wasting resources, but she also felt that it was not enough.
There are many cultivators in the Jindan stage who lead the sect, and their methods are unpredictable. The precious formations in Lu Guo's eyes may be nothing in the eyes of those powerful people, and can be broken in the blink of an eye.
The only way she could think of right now was to practice the "Breath Containment Technique" written on the gold paper.
In the past two days, in addition to inquiring about the news, she has been thinking about this matter in her heart.
She didn't know how the formation of Xuanwang City worked, but one thing was clear: as long as someone took action, the formation would enter an activated state and could lock onto the breath of all those who took action, hunting them down indiscriminately.
But what if someone can conceal his own aura, so that even the formation cannot lock on him?
He lowered his head to Xiang Sheng, gently stroking the surface of the gold paper with his fingertips, a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.
The patterns on the gold paper were complex and irregular, but she had been trapped in a secret room before. If this item was also left by Senior Qingtian, the solution would probably be similar.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng quickly took out a pen and paper, copied each line on the gold paper separately, and rearranged them.
There are hundreds of permutations and combinations, and Xiang Sheng patiently tries them one by one.
This boring and exhausting process lasted for four hours, and the waste paper beside Xiang Sheng had piled up into a mountain.
He crumpled the manuscript paper into a ball and threw it aside again, then began working on the 236th arrangement.
This time, Xiang Sheng immediately noticed the difference after just a rough placement.
Although it was only a preliminary arrangement, at a glance she could see that the pattern clearly depicted the general outlines of two ancient characters - Qingtian.
That’s right.
Xiang Sheng's spirits suddenly lifted, the fatigue in his eyes completely disappeared, and his hands' movements immediately quickened. The pattern took shape rapidly through continuous additions and patchwork.
When the last line was put together, Xiang Sheng straightened the manuscript paper. On the paper were two ancient and correct characters "Qingtian". The strokes were straight and even, square and neat, just covering the inscription on the gold paper.
Xiang Sheng's mind moved slightly. He covered the manuscript paper on the gold paper, took out a blank paper again, and copied the inscription on the gold paper along the strokes of the two words "Qingtian". After a while, he got a completely different version of the inscription.
Xiang Sheng pinched the edge of the paper tightly, his eyes shining brightly.
It turns out that this is the real "Breath Concealment Technique". The fake ones only have slight differences in the patterns, and the mystery behind it can never be figured out.
At this moment, she was certain that the secret fake of "The Art of Concealing Breath" must have been released by Qingtian himself. It was impossible for the person who made this page of gold paper to know the secret and make even a slight change.
But what is Qingtian’s purpose in doing this?
Xiang Sheng thought about it out of habit, but quickly suppressed the thought in her mind. A cultivator like Qingtian had a mind as vast as the ocean, which was beyond her current ability to guess. Thinking about it over and over again would only add to her troubles.
Shaking her head, Xiang Sheng first waved her sleeve to sweep out a strong wind, destroying all the waste manuscript paper. After cleaning up all the traces on her body, she leaned against the oil lamp and began to carefully study the newly acquired "Breath Containment Technique".
"The Art of Concealing Breath" is a secret method, and it was written by Qingtian. Xiang Chang originally thought that the content must be obscure and difficult to understand, but he did not expect that the writing style is even more straightforward than "Shapeshifting", and the practice method is extremely simple.
However, it mentions that in order to practice this method, one must use the "Yuanquan" and extract the "Yuan" from it in order to maintain the normal operation of the secret method.
Not only that, the secret method also explains how to obtain the "Yuanquan". You only need to get any corner of the Qitian Formation, soak it in a piece of rootless water, and after a day and a night, the spring will form.
When his eyes reached the end of the article, Xiang Sheng frowned slightly, exerted a little force with his hand, and the paper shattered into pieces.
She flipped her hand again, and a triangular stone plate appeared in her palm.
It turns out that this thing is called the Heaven-Deceiving Formation Disk, and the spiritual spring obtained before is most likely the "Original Spring".
Rootless water is rainwater, which is not difficult to obtain. However, it has not rained in Xuanwang City in the past few days, so it is very dry. Moreover, the "Yuanquan" needs to be soaked for a whole day before it can be obtained, and she simply cannot wait.
An entire night had been wasted trying to crack the gold paper. Danger could come at any time. If all three layers of the formation were breached, she and Lu Zhu would be powerless to fight back.
Since the "Breath Containment Technique" approach didn't work, Xiang Sheng had to think of another way.
She opened the storage ring she had obtained from Commander Wang before and quickly searched for something useful in it. However, Commander Wang was born into a family of casual cultivators and his family property was very meager, so he didn't have anything useful.
Unable to find it anywhere, Xiang Sheng could only shift his gaze away from the storage ring and stand up to look around the small earthen building room.
She had tried it before, but even with all her strength using the spiritual dagger Lu Zhu had given her, she couldn't penetrate the wall at all.
When she entered the city, she saw many houses that had collapsed due to the erosion of time.
This large earthen building, which is integrated with the Xuanwang City formation, can remain immortal for thousands of years. Even in ancient times when the means of cultivation were prosperous, it would not be easy to build it. From this, it can be inferred that its owner has a high status in the city.
Having a high status meant having the upper hand in conflicts, and always having a few formidable enemies. Living in a room with only one exit, had they ever considered the possibility of being blocked, with no escape route?
With this thought in mind, Xiang Sheng began to rummage through the drawers in the house.
