"I, your master, will seal my spiritual power with yours and become an ordinary mortal."
In the vast darkness, two dark figures darted through the town, their toes tapping the ground and landing silently. Like demons, they moved at such speed that it seemed as if a gentle breeze had swept past. Just as they were about to be seen clearly, they were gone.
Even without their cultivation, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi's physical strength was no match for ordinary mortals. They quickly left the quiet town and headed southeast according to the direction Luo Jianqing had discovered during the day.
After walking for about another thirty miles, Xuan Lingzi suddenly grabbed Luo Jianqing and said, "We have a formation."
Luo Jianqing stopped vigilantly and restrained his breath.
On ordinary days, the two wouldn't have bothered with this ordinary little formation. Even if they walked right past it, the person who set it up wouldn't have noticed anything unusual. However, this time, Xuan Lingzi bent down and picked up a few stones from the ground.
Xuan Lingzi said, "Jianqing, you're not good at formations, alchemy, or Qi training. You still have your master to refine elixirs and weapons for you, but I can't be by your side all the time. This time, we're facing a very simple first-level formation. You can try it out and practice your own formation first." Placing the small stones in his hand into Luo Jianqing's palm, Xuan Lingzi said, "Jianqing, use these stones to break the formation."
Luo Jianqing agreed with a smile.
Luo Jianqing rarely wore black, but this time, for the nighttime reconnaissance, he had no choice but to change into a black robe. The pure black waist-cinching outfit set off the young man's skin as white as jade. After the transformation of this peerless appearance, it had become a little more ordinary, but he was still as handsome as a star, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Under the cold moonlight, Luo Jianqing walked cautiously, pressing the stones onto the ground one by one. Xuan Lingzi stood by, watching him with a gentle and warm gaze, as deep as the ocean.
What Luo Jianqing was going to do this time was much more difficult than destroying the formation. He couldn't let others notice the changes in the formation, but he had to allow himself and Xuan Lingzi to break through the formation.
Xuan Lingzi was right. Luo Jianqing wasn't particularly skilled in the art of refining weapons, alchemy, or formations. But in reality, most powerful beings possess at least one specialization. For example, Xuan Lingzi was exceptionally skilled in alchemy, while the Demon Lord was exceptionally skilled in refining weapons. While they weren't the world's top alchemists or weapon masters, they were nonetheless renowned.
And there is one thing that even if Xuan Lingzi didn't say, Luo Jianqing would feel very ashamed: every peak master of Yuxiao Peak is an all-round talent!
He can refine weapons, make elixirs, form formations, and draw talismans...
As long as you can think of something, they can do it! Compared to his own perfect master, Luo Jianqing is still far behind...
After about three quarters of an hour, Luo Jianqing pressed the last pebble. A faint sound of a key snapping into place seemed to echo in his ears. Luo Jianqing smiled, turned around, looked at his master, and said, "It's done!"
Xuan Lingzi strode into the formation and said, "It's taking a little while, let's continue."
Luo Jianqing asked in surprise: "What do you mean by continue?"
Xuan Lingzi dragged his disciple forward for another mile, then stopped, bent over, picked up some more stones, and said with a smile, "Jianqing, continue."
Luo Jianqing: "..."
All night long, Luo Jianqing toiled diligently, bending over to dismantle the formation. While he wasn't skilled in formations, the Dinghai Sect's formations were so crude that calling them "first-level formations" was an insult to the very level of "first-level formations." Luo Jianqing broke through eight formations with just stones, without even using a trace of spiritual energy.
After finally unlocking the last formation, Luo Jianqing raised his eyes, glanced at Xuan Lingzi, and said, "Master, you are bullying your disciple."
Xuan Lingzi looked at him in surprise: "......?"
Luo Jianqing snorted and said, "I'll deal with you later."
Xuan Lingzi: “…”
Wait, my apprentice's painting style seems a little off...
The master and disciple continued forward, but after a few miles, they came upon a small mountain. The mountain wasn't very high, with a few scattered houses on it. Seeing this, Luo Jianqing turned and exchanged glances with Xuan Lingzi, saying, "There's not even a single Foundation Establishment cultivator here?!"
Xuan Lingzi also gradually became serious: "Three are at the ninth level of Qi Refining, one is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and... nine cultivators at the lower level of Qi Refining."
Although Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi suppressed their cultivation, their auras were definitely not detectable by these Earth-level cultivators. On the contrary, they immediately detected each other's cultivation. However, Luo Jianqing was extremely confused: "I've never heard of a cultivator below the Golden Core Stage being able to establish a sect. Could it be that the Dinghai Sect will be swallowed up by other sects?"
Xuan Lingzi frowned and thought for a moment without saying anything.
The two quietly infiltrated the Dinghai Sect's mountain peak, entering directly through the main gate without anyone noticing. Luo Jianqing walked in front, followed by Xuan Lingzi. They arrived at the first house, but before they could move, they suddenly heard waves of soft, numbing moans emanating from within.
“Master, use more force…ah…Master…Master, I can’t bear it anymore…ah…”
"You little devil, your master will make you cry and beg for mercy today."
Luo Jianqing: "..."
Xuan Lingzi: “…”
