Chen Yi and the Yinshan Sect Master are now locked in a life-or-death struggle.
The other party wanted the red phosphorescent fire and the Nine Nether Grass on his body, while he wanted the other party's cultivation technique.
After all, the "Mysterious Immortal Technique" that every student at Xiande Middle School possesses is quite good. It was jointly developed by many Foundation Establishment stage teachers and is sufficient for cultivation up to the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, the "Mysterious Immortal Technique" cannot condense true spiritual energy, which is a drawback of the technique.
In contrast, the Yinshan Sect's cultivation methods have produced Golden Core cultivators, which is clearly a higher level.
Moreover, in this world, the cultivation methods practiced by each cultivator are not fixed. Some cultivation methods have a set upper limit, and if you want to climb to a higher realm, you have to change your cultivation method.
Chen Yi now wants to obtain the Yinshan Sect's cultivation method and condense the Nine Yin Earth Fire True Spirit Qi.
"So what should we do now?" Wu Lingyao asked.
Chen Yi asked Zhou Lianfeng, "During your soul search, did you find the hiding place of the Yinshan Sect Master?"
Zhou Lianfeng gave a wry smile: "Even if we knew, it wouldn't have made a difference! The mountain is all messed up now; it's not the original layout at all."
Chen Yi fell into deep thought. If it was just because of the formation, then it would be easy to handle.
When he used the "One Glance at the Array" technique, he had already memorized the locations of all the array's key points.
However, the situation was critical at the time, and he only had time to destroy the nearest array eye.
"In that case, let's break the formation first!" he said.
The Earth Dragon Soaring Array has a total of eight array eyes. He has already destroyed one of them. To break the array, he needs to destroy three more of the secondary array eyes, which means destroying more than half of the array eyes.
Or break the main array eye...
"The Yinshan Sect Master is most likely at the main formation's eye right now. Even if we go there, we probably won't be a match for him," Chen Yi murmured.
After all, he was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and he had once been a Foundation Establishment cultivator. His combat experience was far beyond what these juniors could compare to.
They had to exert all their strength and use various magical artifacts and talismans to deal with someone at the tenth level of Qi Refining, so their chances of winning against the Yinshan Sect Master were too small.
"Now, the only way is to destroy three more of the array's key points, break free from the array, reunite with the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python, and then come back to fight."
Yu Qian agreed with Chen Yi's words: "The spiritual energy here is filled with Yin energy. If we stay here for a long time, our condition will deteriorate."
Relying on his memory, Chen Yi began searching for the second key point of the formation.
The two women then joined him in destroying the array's core...
Fortunately, they did not encounter the Yinshan Sect Master along the way.
At this moment, inside the ruins of the Yinshan Sect, the sect leader, dressed in white burial clothes, was sitting cross-legged.
He is guarding the main array eye, which is also where he cultivates in seclusion.
At this moment, his face was very gloomy.
"Damn it, why haven't the Xuanming Elders returned yet?"
A sense of foreboding had already begun to creep into his heart.
This Earth Dragon Soaring Array was personally set up by the two elders of Xuanming. Although he, as the sect leader, had the authority to control the array, he did not have the ability to repair it.
He recalled Chen Yi destroying a key point of the formation and felt even more incredulous.
How could an outsider know the key points of the Dragon Soaring Array so clearly?
It should be noted that this formation is not the original protective formation of the Yinshan Sect.
The original formation was far more advanced than this one, but it was destroyed long ago by that Golden Core cultivator. Now, with so few disciples left, it is impossible to replicate the original formation.
Otherwise, the moment the formation was activated, Chen Yi and the others would have been crushed into mincemeat...
However, this Earth Dragon Soaring Array was indeed dismantled by the Xuanming Elders from the original sect-protecting array.
Could that kid really be a descendant of that Golden Core cultivator?
"We can't wait any longer."
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. The Yinshan Sect Master dared not delay any longer and scanned the storage ring with his divine sense.
The next instant, a ball of blue phosphorescent fire and a Nine Nether Grass appeared before them.
Since it is a grand plan for the restoration of the sect, it is impossible for it not to have a backup plan.
Although the phosphorescent fire and the Nine Nether Grass are of lower quality, there is still a 60% chance of condensing the Nine Yin Earth Fire True Spiritual Energy.
Even if the final refined true spiritual energy is of average quality, it is still perfectly fine to use it for foundation building.
His face contorted with madness; success or failure hinged on this moment!
In the next instant, he swallowed both the Phosphorus Fire and the Nine Nether Grass into his mouth at the same time.
The Nine Yin Mystic Scripture began to operate, refining the two ingredients.
While he was refining Qi materials, Chen Yi also successfully destroyed the second array eye.
"Boom!"
The entire mountainside was on the verge of collapse once again.
None of this could affect the Yinshan Sect Master, who was condensing his true spiritual energy.
"Let's go, let's move on to the next place." Chen Yi didn't dare to linger for a moment.
The Yinshan Sect Master has not yet appeared; he is probably preparing something big.
Neither side knows the other's situation, yet both are racing against time...
About two hours later, Chen Yi and the others finally broke through the encirclement of the formation.
Unfortunately, not every key element of this formation is easy to destroy. Some are hidden within the hard mountain structure, and it takes considerable effort to break them.
Fortunately, they had three people plus a puppet, so their speed wasn't too slow.
"Boom!"
The mountain rocks formed by the array collapsed, revealing their original shape.
A wide passage came into view, and faint light shone into the dark interior of the mountain.
"Phew~"
Upon seeing the light of day again, Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao couldn't help but take a deep breath of fresh air.
Chen Yi immediately summoned the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python through the contract.
"Click-click-click!"
A moment later, the figure, tens of meters long, appeared in the valley.
"Gentlemen, this is a personal matter between me and the Yinshan Sect Master. You don't need to get involved," Chen Yi said to the two women.
“But…” Wu Lingyao frowned slightly.
Yu Qian nodded and said, "Chen Yi is right. Even if the two of us go in, we won't be of much help."
After their battle with the Xuanming Elders, she and Wu Lingyao were in poor condition. If they followed Chen Yi back to the Yinshan Sect's lair, they would only become a burden.
Chen Yi took out two Nine Nether Grasses, saying, "You have helped me a lot along the way. Take these two Nine Nether Grasses back with you."
He remembered the array formation book Wu Lingyao gave him and the pills Yu Qian gave him.
Cultivating immortality requires not owing any karmic debts, only then can one's Dao heart be clear and transparent, and this favor must naturally be repaid.
Anyway, he has five Nine Nether Grass plants. Even if he keeps one ten-year-old one to hand over, he will still have two of the oldest ones left for his own use. Perfect!
"You..."
Both women were secretly touched, but neither accepted the gift immediately.
"This is what you received..."
"Take it, it's what you deserve," Chen Yi advised.
After some back and forth, the two accepted Chen Yi's offer.
[Through your efforts, your Dao Heart level has improved, proficiency +10]
Having settled all these karmic debts and obligations, Chen Yi suddenly felt much more enlightened.
"Be careful, we'll wait for you outside."
Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao watched Chen Yi return to his camp.
Without the Earth Dragon Transformation Formation, even the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python could reach the Yinshan Sect ruins directly.
After all, the terrain here used to be such that even the guardian beasts could come and go.
It was only because of the influence of the Earth Dragon Transformation Formation that the situation of being blocked outside occurred.
Chen Yi and the puppet stood on the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python, charging straight towards the heart of the enemy's lair.
He took a deep breath: "This decisive battle hinges on this..."
