Under the impact of the powerful spiritual consciousness, ripples began to appear in the forest that originally looked no different from the surrounding area.
The ripples on the formation quickly dissipated the pressure brought by the spiritual consciousness, and returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
"Why was that cultivator able to open this formation?"
Lin Xiang was puzzled. He searched in the space ring for a while, but couldn't find any valuable cards or formation cards. He could only explore it bit by bit on his own.
Since others can do it, maybe I can do it too.
If it doesn't work, use brute force to break it.
He carefully came to the light curtain of the formation, but he couldn't detect the formation with his spiritual sense. If he didn't pay attention with his eyes, he would probably overlook it.
The monsters and humans in the world of cultivation are accustomed to using spiritual consciousness to explore the way or find things. This is very convenient and the coverage area is large enough.
However, this method also has obvious flaws. In many cases, as long as the formation or magic weapon can shield the spiritual sense scan, it will not be discovered. It is somewhat similar to modern radar and anti-radar technology.
The area covered by the formation is ordinary, with only lush trees and shrubs. The spiritual energy is not very strong, and there is no water source around. It is just obscure.
Lin Xiang was not well-informed and could not recognize what kind of formation it was. He did not want to go in and test it himself.
"It would be great if there were players here, so we could post quests and let them in."
Lin Xiang couldn't help but sigh, then he used incense and mud to mold a small clay figure, and then he crawled into the small clay figure, and a temporary vest body was ready!
Even if Ma Jia was killed, only the clay figurine would be destroyed, so he could teleport away easily. However, this teleportation would require him to teleport directly back to the land temple, and he would have to run a long way back.
Then he used the magical power of Qiankun in his sleeve to collect the black dragon. In this way, even if the formation had the function of relocation, he would not be separated from the black dragon.
Mo Jiao, who was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, could not have imagined that he had been reserved in advance as a shield by his master.
It recognized the iconic magical power in the inherited memory at a glance, and then hid obediently in the Qiankun space in its sleeve, without trying to break the ban.
The thick-skinned and tough Black Dragon can withstand any attack. If all else fails, it can be made to destroy the formation with brute force. At that time, the only way is to quickly obtain the inheritance, otherwise it may face siege by monsters.
Even the Black Dragon was unwilling to reveal its aura here. The mastermind behind the dragon-slaying swords hung all over its path had not yet appeared, so it dared not be too arrogant.
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiang transformed the Taixuan spiritual power into a spiritual shield to protect himself, then reached out and touched the light curtain of the formation, and the whole person was immediately sucked in!
The art of formation is extremely mysterious, and many times one falls into the trap without even knowing its name or effect.
Lin Xiang only knew that he was now in the formation space. Looking around, he saw endless yellow sand all around, with no end in sight.
At this time, a strong wind blew up, and yellow sand flew all over the sky, suddenly turning into a sandstorm.
His health began to slowly decrease.
"What kind of formation is this?"
Lin Xiang tried to burrow under the yellow sand, but the yellow sand seemed to have no bottom. It was exactly the same in all directions and there was no difference at all. He had no choice but to return to the desert.
Without a key or a way to crack it, all he could do was dismantle it with brute force.
Then the black dragon in the space of heaven and earth in his sleeve was released.
"Master, where is this?"
It was clearly a forest just now, but now it has turned into an endless desert, as if it had moved in an instant.
Lin Xiang said, "Return to your original form. I'll find the center of the formation and see if I can break it by force."
The black dragon is very uncomfortable in this dry environment. It likes humid areas, but there is no water here.
Although the yellow sand could not break through its scale defense, it could not cover its mouth, nose and eyes, forcing it to turn its back to the sandstorm and close its eyes.
Lin Xiang stood on top of the black dragon, carefully sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him.
Perhaps because he is a terrestrial immortal, he is extremely sensitive to things like spiritual energy, array eyes, and array flags. He also has the support of the game map to ensure that he does not stay in the same area.
"Next, fly north. I'll guide the direction. Just slow down and fly."
Lin Xiang considerately cast an aura shield on Mo Jiao's head to ensure that this guy could open his eyes, otherwise it would be easy for something to get into trouble.
In the desert, the flying ability of the Black Dragon was greatly reduced. It was unable to gather a large amount of clouds and could only fly more than ten meters above the sand dunes.
However, with Lin Xiang's guidance, the man and the dragon managed to reach their destination despite the sandstorm.
This place looks no different from before, the same sand dunes and the same strong wind. If someone without a game map came in, they would definitely lose their five senses and think they were back to where they started.
Lin Xiang sensed that before every strong wind, there was a tiny fluctuation of spiritual energy, and concluded that something was wrong.
"Just give your claws a strong swing at the place I designate and see what happens."
Mo Jiao had long since stopped wanting to stay in this godforsaken place, and he suddenly swung his right claw, which had four sharp claws, downwards.
Although it cannot use its demonic power for the time being, its physical strength is much stronger than when it was a black snake. Black snakes didn't have claws back then!
There is a saying among sword cultivators that one sword can break all laws, and there is also a rumor among body cultivators that one force can break all laws.
With this claw, the original sand dune seemed to be torn into pieces, revealing a flagpole inside.
[Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand Flag: A top-grade magical weapon. When waved, it creates a vast expanse of yellow sand. The higher the quality of the sand, the greater the attack power. Gather all nine flags to create a Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand formation.]
Lin Xiang’s intuition turned out to be correct, and he found the formation flag easily.
Through the game's reconnaissance techniques, he finally understood the name of this formation. It turned out to be a seventh-level advanced formation, and it also came with nine top-grade magic weapon-level formation flags.
You should know that the five elements formation he set up in the Universal Market and Xishan Village is only considered a second-level formation individually. It can only be considered a fourth-level formation after the five elements are combined into one. You can imagine how big the gap is.
If Mo Jiao had not been there today, it would have been extremely difficult for Lin Xiang to break through the defenses near the formation flags by himself, and it would probably have taken a considerable amount of incense and divine power.
Without thinking too much, he directly put the ownerless flag into the game package.
Whether used against a single enemy or forming a formation, it is extremely powerful.
The moment he put away the Wanli Changsha flag, Lin Xiang found that he had returned from the sand dunes to the Shiwandashan Forest.
Only a corner of the entire formation is missing, and the rest of the parts are still in operation.
He didn't rush to break the other formations one by one, but chose to walk into the formation space, letting them help conceal his whereabouts first, and then pick up the remaining formation flags when he was about to leave.
The grass is green and the air is filled with spiritual energy, but there is no sound at all.
It seemed as if no one had been here for a long time.
The black dragon shrank its body, stepped carefully on the lawn, then opened its mouth, took a bite of the green grass, and swallowed it directly.
Behind the lawn are several tall fruit trees with a few fruits hanging on them, and the ground is a mixture of fallen leaves and rotten fruits.
When you get closer, you can even smell a hint of decay.
Lin Xiang looked at the information about the fruit tree and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
An ordinary low-grade spiritual date tree actually has a history of a thousand years. It seems that this cave must be quite old.
Before coming here, he had almost emptied his space ring, space bag and game package grid, not to mention the space in his sleeve, so he was now ready to empty this cave.
Three thousand-year-old fire date trees, five thousand-year-old golden apricot trees and two thousand-year-old grape vines were all taken away with their roots and soil, and placed in the sleeve's universe first, just in time to add some foundation to his own cave.
Before officially entering the inheritance cave of his predecessors, Lin Xiang had already reaped a lot of benefits from the top-grade magic tools and these spiritual plants.
If any thousand-year-old spiritual tree is brought to the market, many cultivators will rush to buy it.
He moved forward in a happy mood, but the vast fields of spiritual herbs behind him made his happy mood disappear instantly, and every spiritual herb and medicine withered.
Even if there is sufficient spiritual energy, they will still die if there is no one to irrigate and take good care of them.
Some died while growing, while others withered naturally after flowering and bearing fruit. However, some seeds of the latter spiritual medicines can be collected.
Most of these seeds are mid- to high-level spiritual medicines, which saves Lin Xiang from having to collect skills.
When he finally arrived in front of a wooden attic, he saw three seal characters "Lingyaoju" written on the plaque above, and there were footprints on the dusty ground, which seemed to be left by the original owner of the space ring.
Lin Xiang tried to go in, but was blocked by a layer of light curtain. At the same time, his eyes stayed on the alchemy furnace and the jumping fire next to him.
There is also a discarded jade slip next to the alchemy furnace, on which are the words of the owner of Lingyaoju, which briefly introduces this area and how to obtain the inheritance.
"I am Huang Hongqi, a true disciple of the Medicine King Sect. I was ordered by my master to build a stronghold in the Shiwan Mountains and spy on the Demon King Palace. Later, I was hunted by the Thousand Poison Queen Bee, a divine-level demon beast. I had no choice but to leave a portion of my inheritance and return to my master to seek help. If anyone sees this jade slip, it proves that I have not successfully returned or have died. You may dispose of all items in this area as you please, but you must kill the Thousand Poison Queen Bee to avenge me!"
Huang Hongqi in the jade slip looked extremely weak, his face turned blue, red, white and purple, as if he could not suppress the toxins in his body.
After all, he was a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage and a true disciple of the Medicine King Sect who was most skilled in refining medicine. However, he was still unable to withstand the deadly poison of the Thousand Poison Bee Queen.
It would be very difficult for him to bypass the Ten Thousand Mountains and return to the Medicine King Sect to remove the poison while he was in a poisoned state. He might die from the severe poisoning on the way, or be killed by other monsters.
Anyway, the other party was unable to return to this stronghold, so it was abandoned.
Under normal circumstances, cultivators who have the opportunity to find this place need to learn the "Nine Elixir Liquid Immortal Scripture" left by Huang Hongqi and refine qualified elixirs before they can enter.
The space ring was originally placed here, but the Qi Refining cultivator had limited strength and had to collect materials to refine pills. As a result, he was ambushed by the Gu Master and failed to become the real protagonist.
Lin Xiang has not yet reached the standard to enter the Lingyaoju, but he has the cheating device Mo Jiao.
Having just violently broken through the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation, he now followed the same method and began to directly break the restrictions set up by Huang Hongqi.
The restrictions inside the cave are usually more fragile than the external formations. What's more, the opponent is only a Jindan stage cultivator. No matter how strong the restrictions are, they cannot withstand the critical attack of the Tribulation stage monster.
Under the powerful attack of the black dragon's claws and tail, the light curtain shattered like glass and disappeared without a trace.
The interior of Lingyaoju looked a bit messy. It was probably because Huang Hongqi had no time to clean up the house when he evacuated, especially the alchemy room was in a mess.
The jade bottles on the ground were all written with the words "detoxification pill", but the detoxification pills he refined could not detoxify the Thousand Poison Bee Queen's deadly poison.
These jade bottles alone are worth a fortune. They can hold high-grade or even top-grade elixirs without reducing their efficacy.
Because of this, the shelves on the walls of the alchemy room were filled with a variety of elixirs, many of which might still retain their medicinal properties. Lin Xiang checked them one by one and finally discovered that the ordinary gourds were the ones that hid their hidden secrets.
"Mid-grade Calming Pill, Top-grade Rejuvenating Pill, Mid-grade Evil-Breaking Pill, Mid-grade Creation Pill, Top-grade Jade Bloom Pill, Top-grade Longevity Pill..."
The gourd is called the Yangling Gourd. There is a small space inside it, which is specially used to store elixirs, all of which are top-grade elixirs.
Very few of them are used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and most of them are elixirs that can only be used in the Core Formation Stage. Among them, the value of the two top-grade Rejuvenating Pills and Longevity Pills is beyond Lin Xiang's imagination.
He put the jade bottles and spirit-nourishing gourds into the space ring, and then took away the large alchemy furnace in the middle.
The alchemy furnace that can be used by all Jindan stage cultivators is not an ordinary item, but a genuine top-grade magical weapon!
It is very difficult to refine a special magical instrument like the alchemy furnace. Unless one has a great fortune and can reach the magic weapon level, otherwise the top-grade magical instrument will be the end.
There should have been a ball of strange fire here, but there was no trace of it. I don’t know whether it dissipated on its own or was taken away by Huang Hongqi.
After Lin Xiang cleaned out the alchemy room, he went to the classics room.
The original owner was a true disciple of the Yaowang Sect in the Jindan stage. He had a lot of good things in his collection, which really broadened Lin Xiang's horizons.
From physical training techniques to various types of spells, you are not required to master them all, but just be able to apply what you have learned to other situations and understand their advantages and disadvantages when you encounter them.
These jade slips are of no use to Huang Hongqi when he is escaping, so he just stays here safely.
Moreover, a thousand years is not a long time in the world of cultivation, and these jade slips can still be used and will not turn into ashes at the slightest touch.
Alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman masters have always been the three richest professions in the world of cultivation, but there is not a single spirit stone here, and no magic weapon or magic treasure is left. It is estimated that they are all carried by Huang Hongqi.
To show respect, Lin Xiang did not go to Huang Hongqi's bedroom to disturb him. He just went in to see if there was anything worth taking away, then buried it in the ground and built a cenotaph for him.
I have learned the "Nine Elixir Immortal Scripture" and can barely be considered half of the other party's successor, so it is reasonable for me to help deal with it.
Without the Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand Formation, this place would definitely become a paradise for monsters, and he didn't want his cheap master's bedroom to be desecrated by monsters.
Lin Xiang had a fruitful harvest this time, including spiritual fruit trees, high-level spiritual medicine seeds, spiritual pills, alchemy furnaces, and subsequent content of alchemy, various skills, spells, and so on.
These are not spirit stones, but they are better than spirit stones.
As long as he wanted, he could take out the things inside and exchange them, but it was difficult to buy these things with spirit stones.
"Let's go, let's collect the remaining eight Wanli Yellow Sand Flags, and then we'll go visit the place where you practiced before."
He has no way to move the spiritual vein now, and he doesn't want to destroy it, so he can only leave it for the monsters to use temporarily, and move it again when he has the chance in the future.
The spiritual veins are the veins of the earth. Once destroyed, one will be entangled in endless karma. Lin Xiang still hopes to become a golden immortal of merit, so how can he add to his karma?
"A thousand years ago, the Medicine King Sect and the Demon King Palace were in conflict. How come they are joining forces now?"
Lin Xiang was puzzled by this problem. In the past, the Medicine King Sect sent its true disciples to the Ten Thousand Mountains to build a secret base to monitor the demon clan's every move.
Now they use airships to transport independent cultivators one by one through the Ten Thousand Mountains to the Dagan border to cause trouble. The Demon King Palace obviously condones this, otherwise how could such an obvious target pass through so openly? They would have been shot down long ago.
The Medicine King Sect has been coveting the Ten Thousand Mountains for a long time. The spiritual medicine resources there are quite rich, and the demon pills and demon blood of the demon clan can be used to refine some special pills.
"I don't know what kind of agreement was reached behind the scenes. There are really no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
Lin Xiang only knew that being able to unite the two super powers must mean something big.
The area under his jurisdiction is on the border of Dagan. Now is the time to build high walls and store up food. He must seize every opportunity to make the territory stronger.
Mo Jiao led the way carefully in front, and the man and the dragon shuttled silently among the mountains. This place was already the territory of the big monsters.
The density of monsters has decreased, but the threat has greatly increased.
Fortunately, Lin Xiang and Mo Jiao are both able to tightly lock their own aura, so they can move through the territories of these Jindan, Yuanying and even Shenhua stage monsters.
The whole journey can be described as terrifying. If you are not careful, you may be hunted down.
Fortunately, the land god's earth escape skills were extraordinary, and he did not alarm any monsters deep underground.
Soon Mo Jiao became excited.
"Master, this is my territory!"
It can sense the various auras it left behind, warning the surrounding neighbors not to cross the line.
The territory of every monster was conquered through repeated battles. The Mo Jiao was no exception. Although he was relatively low-key, he did not feel sorry for the monsters that bullied him.
Either knock them away or swallow them directly. With its thin Basnake bloodline, it can easily digest those monsters.
Over time, no monsters dared to venture into the nearby area.
The place is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the air carries some toxins. Beneath the clouds is an intricate underground water system, so even if a powerful enemy invades, they can hide in the water.
“Why are they all poisonous weeds…”
Lin Xiang originally thought that there would be some extra gains here, but it turned out that the spiritual medicines growing here were basically various poisonous weeds, which could only be used to make poisons and could not be used to make normal pills.
There are a lot of poisonous snakes here. He can see all kinds of poisonous snakes crawling by just by sticking his head out. Mo Jiao is the snake king here!
The spiritual herbs that are truly beneficial to spiritual practice have long been eaten by them, and these poisonous herbs are of no use to them at all.
Even so, Lin Xiang still collected the poisonous dragon grass, snake saliva grass, and snow ling flower and stored them separately in the space bag, perhaps they could be used in the future.
As for the nest at the bottom of the deep ravine, Lin Xiang did not go down to check it out. Instead, he let Mo Jiao go down and bring out the snake skin and useful items by himself. It had its own space in its belly.
It wasn't because he was afraid of water, but because he didn't want to see so many snakes, so as not to make him feel sick.
The black dragon jumped down swiftly. It had lived here for thousands of years and was very familiar with the place.
Lin Xiang was preparing to dig next to the spiritual mine.
He used the Dragon Slaying Sword as soon as he took out the Dragon Slaying Sword. Who knew that as soon as he took out the Dragon Slaying Sword, the snakes and monsters in the surrounding grass, trees, and rocks came out and ran away, not wanting to stay around for even a second.
There were so many kinds of venomous snakes that Lin Xiang broke out in a cold sweat. He was so scared that he quickly put the Dragon Slaying Sword into the game package to avoid becoming the public enemy of snakes.
It is just a flying sword of the top-grade magical weapon level. Now Lin Xiang can be sure that it really has a huge restraint on dragons and snakes.
The black dragon, unaware of the situation, flew up into the sky from the bottom of the water and was then captured and used as a laborer.
It can break formations and mine, the black dragon's claws are omnipotent!
Lin Xiang really used the Mo Jiao mount to the extreme. Not only could he ride it normally, but he could also use it for fighting and even mining.
It is called sharpening the claws, the more you sharpen, the sharper they become!
The black dragon is very strong and has sharp claws. The ore in front of it is nothing to it. It is just a way to stretch its muscles. Besides, it can get a heart-clearing pill as compensation from time to time.
It wishes it could live here and mine for the rest of its life.
Pieces of spiritual ore of uneven sizes appeared in front of Lin Xiang. He used detection skills to check and found that they were actually cold iron ore.
[Cold Iron Ore: A common material for refining magical instruments. After forging, the instruments are strong and durable.]
Cold iron ore has a cold aura, and if it is refined into a magical weapon, it will also have the same characteristics. Therefore, it will not be attached with fire-attributed formations or spirit stones to avoid conflicts.
Lin Xiang was very satisfied with it. Although it was of medium to low quality, it was perfect for him to practice with!
If it were higher-level materials, using them for practice would be a luxury and a waste.
Players will be blessed in the coming time, because they will not lack low-grade weapons and elixirs. Lin Xiang plans to improve his own and the soft power of the market town in the cave.
I was just worried that I couldn't find an opportunity to promote the market. The Rejuvenating Pills and Longevity Pills in my hands were definitely valuable items.
A group of 99 pieces of cold iron ore were placed into the game panel. Mo Jiao kept digging until nightfall but still had not dug out one tenth of the vein.
Lin Xiang had no choice but to stop digging and fill up all the things that could be packed!
"The ore is too big. Next time I have to find a way to smelt it directly and bring back the cold iron ingots." He said to himself. He had already made a huge harvest today. If he continued to be greedy, it would be easy for something to go wrong.
It's time to quit. Seeing that all the monsters and demons have come out in full force, it would not be safe even if they burrowed underground to go back. So Lin Xiang asked Mo Jiao to say goodbye to its little brothers, and then spent 100 incense points to teleport back to the land temple in Dongshan Village.
With clang clang, all the cold iron ore was dumped out and piled up into a small hill.
Lin Xiang looked at these ores in a daze, wondering if the underground fire could melt them. If not, it would be troublesome.
The Universal Market under the cover of night was bustling with activity due to the players. Even without Lin Xiang's assistance, they were still entertaining themselves here and rapidly upgrading their levels.
What surprised Lin Xiang was that the souls of Bingxuepiaopiao, Taier Zhenren and five others were waiting for resurrection in the land temple in the market town.
"Why did they get wiped out?"
