Chapter 108
Cheng Hui frowned and looked at the big monk with cold eyes.
The big monk had no intention of concealing the greed on his face. If there had not been a barrier between the two parties, he would have kidnapped Lin Qingyang and taken his essence away immediately.
The other person was indeed an acquaintance of theirs, their Jindan uncle Zeng Ji.
Cheng Hui frowned. He didn't think the head monk of the Joyful Temple was a fool. Then the question was, who gave him the courage to show his greed for the outstanding disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect under the nose of the Corpse Puppet Sect's Jindan cultivator?
Unless... he was sure that this Jindan cultivator could not pose any threat to him.
Cheng Hui lowered his eyes, having a bad feeling in his heart.
"Zeng Ji, he is the annoying little devil you are talking about, right?" asked the big monk with a smile.
Zeng Ji raised his eyelids and said with a forced smile, "If you say so, then so be it."
The monk grinned and said, "Since you don't like him anyway, why not give him to me as a disciple?"
Zeng Ji glanced at Cheng Hui and the others indifferently without saying anything.
Cheng Hui's heart sank. Zeng Ji had no intention of protecting them. Was he planning to completely break up with them?
The big monk laughed and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Zeng."
After saying this, he looked at Lin Qingyang with a twinkling gaze. "It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful child. As long as you behave yourself, I'm willing to accept you as my disciple. Then, you too can experience the wonders of joy."
Lin Qingyang looked at him expressionlessly, his delicate little face emitting a cold chill.
The big monk was talking but suddenly he couldn't continue. He was also wondering why a young man who had just established his foundation could make him feel so pressured.
He snorted coldly and stopped talking. Accepting a disciple was naturally out of the question. He had no intention of falling out with the Corpse Puppet Sect.
But this kid has a really good-looking face. If he is willing to take me as his master, it is not impossible for me to do something about it.
Unfortunately, this kid doesn't know what's good for him. In that case, after he has finished taking advantage of me, I will get rid of him to avoid any future troubles.
The big monk didn't want to admit that he was actually a little scared. When he met those dark eyes, he seemed to see the abyss and felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart.
Cheng Hui pursed his lips. Looking at Zeng Ji's indifferent expression, he knew that this man was definitely unreliable. Now they still had steps to separate the two sides, but once they got on the stone platform, how would he face the Jindan cultivator?
"Don't worry, there is always a way out." Lin Qingyang held Cheng Hui's hand and comforted him softly.
Cheng Hui closed his eyes and suppressed the anxiety in his heart.
Lin Qingyang was right. There was no point in being anxious. On the contrary, the more anxious you were, the more likely you were to make mistakes.
It’s hard to say whether God has the means to kill people, but it’s absolutely impossible to let him wait to be killed!
They still had three steps to go to the stone platform, while Zeng Ji and the great monk Huineng still had five steps to go.
The difference was only about the same, so Cheng Hui was not sure that he could find a way out before they stepped onto the stone platform.
Can't take any risks!
No direct confrontation!
Cheng Hui knew very well that with his and Lin Qingyang's strength, they would never be able to confront a Jindan cultivator head-on.
The escape route is temporarily blocked, so the only way now is to delay!
Drag the opponent until they can find a way to escape!
In order to hold Huineng back, the first idea that came to Cheng Hui's mind was to set up a formation.
They obtained a lot of materials during this trip, and he also learned a lot of new knowledge about formations in this inheritance hall.
He was confident that with his abilities, it might be difficult to kill Jin Dan, but trapping the opponent for a period of time should not be a big problem.
Just do it. While he was breaking the formation of this step, he began to design a trap.
This trapping formation needs to be able to trap a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, so the materials used must be guaranteed. Otherwise, the opponent can break the trapping formation with one move, which would be very troublesome.
In addition, this trapping array must also have the function of absorbing energy, and it is best to convert that energy into energy that supports the trapping array.
Cheng Hui didn't know whether Huineng was good at formations, but he had to consider this, so he added many hidden node designs to the many functions of this trapping formation.
While breaking the formation, he also designed the formation.
Cheng Hui was multitasking, his brain was running at high speed.
Thanks to his arrival in the world of cultivation, his spiritual awareness has become extremely strong, otherwise he would not be able to support such an approach.
Level after level, finally, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang stepped onto the final stone platform. At the same time, his strange formation that integrated various functions was also designed.
He waved his hand to signal Lin Qingyang to go and select their spoils, while he himself searched around in his storage ring for suitable materials.
Soon, he took out a few pieces of ore and crushed them with his fingertips, turning the ore into powder. He then took out a pot of special liquid and mixed it with the ore powder to form a liquid with a strange smell.
“It stinks!”
Lin Qingyang, who had just picked out his spoils, changed his expression as he walked over. He covered his nose and took several steps back.
The smell was incredibly foul and particularly penetrating. The stone platform was not very big to begin with, and Lin Qingyang took a few steps back before reaching the edge, with nowhere to hide.
"Is it very smelly?" Cheng Hui asked.
"It stinks!" Lin Qingyang pinched his nose and nodded.
This stench has exceeded the limits of human beings. Lin Qingyang even blocked his sense of smell, but for some reason, he could still smell the stench.
"It's right that it smells bad. I specially mixed it. If it doesn't smell bad, it would be a waste of time." Cheng Hui smiled and then showed an uncomfortable expression.
He was closest to the stench, and even though he had prepared in advance, he still felt dizzy from the stench.
He used his finger as a pen to outline a complicated magic circle on the ground of the stone platform, poured the liquid into the array pattern of the magic circle, and then took out many other materials to process them, and finally sealed the stench in this formation.
The moment the formation took shape, the stench finally disappeared.
Cheng Hui took big gulps of fresh air and was obviously also disgusted by the stench.
"Did you find it?"
Cheng Hui glanced at Huineng, who was only one step away from them, and asked with a relatively calm expression.
Lin Qingyang shook his head. Apart from the three rewards, there was no other way out on the stone platform. He almost flipped over to the bottom of the stone platform to take a look, but there was not even a mechanism that could be opened.
"There's no other way, just wait." Cheng Hui sat down on the ground.
He once guessed that this senior might have to wait until all three rewards were taken away before opening the way to leave.
Now it seems that this might be true.
Cheng Hui glanced at Huineng, who could see his every move. Seeing that Cheng Hui had set up a magic circle on the stone platform, he was a little surprised at first that Cheng Hui made such a choice, and then he showed an angry expression, as if... the cooked duck had flown away.
Cheng Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seemed that Huineng was not very proficient in formations. As for the remaining breath, he would have to wait until Huineng was completely defeated before he could let it out.
He sighed helplessly: "Let's go and take a look. We have worked so hard for so long, at least we don't want to return empty-handed."
Lin Qingyang walked over with him. In the center of the stone platform were a sword, a disc-shaped magic weapon, and an egg of an unknown creature.
Cheng Hui observed it and found that the sword should be of the best quality. The blade was sharp and he could feel the sharp aura coming towards him when he got a little closer, as if it was going to split him in half.
Cheng Hui secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. He didn't know much about swords, but he had a hunch that this sword was very powerful and might even have a spirit.
Apart from this sword, the disc-shaped magic weapon looks very ordinary, and the bottom of the plate is pitch black. If it were not placed here as a reward, anyone who saw it would probably just mistake it for an ordinary plate.
However, since it was placed here, it proved that it was of extraordinary value. However, Cheng Hui felt that he was ignorant and had no idea what it was.
The purpose of the final egg was immediately apparent; it was clearly intended to serve as a spiritual pet for a cultivator. While the specific creature within was unknown, the fact that it was placed there as a reward by such a powerful elder clearly meant it had an extraordinary bloodline.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang discussed it and soon came to a unanimous conclusion.
Although the sword was of the best quality, neither Cheng Hui nor Lin Qingyang were used to using swords, so it was abandoned.
As for the remaining two items, they each took one.
Seeing that Huineng had solved the last step, Cheng Hui, who had been watching him, directly activated the magic circle.
As soon as Huineng stepped onto the stone platform, he fell into the magic circle.
Before entering the magic circle, Huineng laughed heartily. "You know what? I love to see my prey caught right before they think they're about to escape. The expressions on their faces are truly amazing. I hope the expressions on your faces will be just as exciting later."
Cheng Hui was suddenly shocked. Was he cheated?
But then I thought, well, let them be deceived. Regardless of whether Huineng was proficient in the magic array or not, this was the only way he could delay. We could only say they were unlucky. As for despair... that didn't exist!
In other aspects, Cheng Hui admitted that he was a weakling, but when it came to the art of formations, he really didn't believe that he had been taught by those old YBs for so long and had absorbed the experience left by this predecessor, how could he be defeated by a monk from the Happy Temple?
You know, Huanxi Temple has never been famous for its formations. Even if Huineng has studied formations, he can't be more powerful than himself!
The strong are so confident!
Boom!
Huineng's figure disappeared after entering the magic circle, but soon, a violent roar was heard from the magic circle.
After the roar, Cheng Hui, the master of the formation, saw Huineng's miserable appearance and couldn't help but gasp.
—Hiss, this guy... is he too reckless? He just goes all out without even testing the waters?
In order to prevent Huineng from breaking the formation violently, he specially created a reflection mechanism. In order to ensure the effect of the reflection, he used the materials he got from Changling when designing this node.
Yes, those materials that have used up most of their energy but are of extremely high quality.
This led to Huineng’s miserable situation at the moment... Tsk tsk, miserable, so miserable.
The skin was torn and the flesh was all blackened. I could smell the aroma of meat through the magic circle... Hmm, it must be medium rare...
Cheng Hui sucked his saliva.
Don't get me wrong, he just suddenly wanted to eat some skewers... It would be even better if he could have two bottles of ice-cold beer...
