When it came to bloodletting, we pushed and pushed each other, but in the end, Chu Qiurong was chosen as the one to sacrifice herself.
The reason is very simple. As an external aid, Fang Yuan has to use his spiritual power to find Dizangmu. As his senior brother, he can't just sit there and do nothing but carry a sword. He has to do some work, right?
Of course, the two of them were in tacit agreement on the final question of "Chun Yang" and neither of them explained it to Tu Nian.
Come to think of it, Tu Nian is only sixteen years old. The person who can help her with this kind of knowledge must be either her biological mother or a pervert.
In short, after the tasks were assigned, the three of them set off immediately. One of them controlled the beast, and the remaining two flew swords. It took less than two hours in total to get from the Bihai Gate to Tianbei Dayuoyan.
The true form of Dayuoyan is actually a mountain. It is surrounded by spiritual power, with a round top and simple terrain. Therefore, talented monks often come here to pick some spiritual plants and medicines for alchemy and healing.
Although Chu Qiurong and Fang Yuan had passed the stage of collecting low-level spiritual objects, they also started from this and struggled. After landing, they found a path familiarly and led Tu Nian into the mountains.
Fang Yuan’s mount was a giant blue-eyed bird. It didn’t run away after landing, but followed him into the mountain.
After circling the giant snow-white bird, Tu Nian exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Fang, your mount is so well behaved. It doesn't even fly off on its own, but instead follows you."
Touching the big white bird's long neck, Fang Yuan smiled and said, "She follows me around like this because she knows there are some edible creatures here. If it were any other time, she would have flown over to play."
The big white bird seemed to understand and responded cheerfully twice, which made Tu Nian marvel. "I think I should just give up learning to fly a sword and get a mount directly. It's convenient, cool, and can also provide emotional value. It's three birds with one stone."
Chu Qiurong was from the Yu Jian sect. She held her sword and poured cold water on her. "The mount may look nice, but it's actually huge and difficult to raise. I advise you not to trade a momentary impulse for a lifetime of regret."
Tu Nianbai glanced at him and said, "How can a lifetime be so exaggerated?"
"Qiu Rong is right."
Fang Yuan explained to her, "Contracted spirit pets are divided into spirit contracts and blood contracts. The former is an equal contract, with only a profit relationship, and is short-term. The latter is a master-servant contract, with mutual dependence and lifelong effects. When contracting a mount, the latter is often chosen, and naturally it is a lifelong contract."
"Forget it then," Tu Nian turned pale at the mention of love, and withdrew his gaze from the big white bird. He flicked the black sword at his waist and said affectionately, "I still love you more because I don't have to take responsibility for you."
Chu Qiurong and Fang Yuan twitched their eyes at the same time when they heard this.
How come this girl is so young, but her mind is full of weird things?
The Ksitigarbha tree is a large mountain tree, almost covering the entire mountain. There is a small tree every three steps and a big tree every five steps. With Fang Yuan's unremitting efforts, they finally found a suitable tree.
But as Tu Nian said, the difficulty of this method does not lie in the Dizang Wood, but in the step that turns bad luck into good luck after finding the Dizang Wood.
After digging a small hole under the tree, Tu Nian carefully held the reversal talisman between his fingertips. When everything was ready, he looked at Chu Qiurong and said, "Let's get started."
Following Tu Nian's order, Chu Qiurong slashed the sword across her palm, then changed her hand from a palm to a fist and exerted force.
Blood slowly flowed out from between his fingers and into the small pit, creating a white mist in the late autumn.
"Okay."
After a while, until the small pit was completely filled, Tu Nian signaled Chu Qiurong to stop. She took a deep breath and began to chant something. The talisman in her hand emitted a layer of red light as she chanted.
Chu Qiurong stopped the bleeding and worked with Fang Yuan to protect her. Both of them concentrated and calmed down, not daring to make any sound.
At this time, Tu Nian's forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat beads.
Not only the reversal talisman, but the mantra she is reciting now is also very spiritually consuming. The difference between the two is that the talisman can be drawn in batches, but once the mantra is broken, all the efforts will be wasted.
Heaven rewards those who work hard. Tu Nian spent a whole incense stick of time and finally completed this technique when his spiritual consciousness was on the verge of drying up.
A red light flashed, and the talisman in her hand suddenly turned into a stream of light and drilled into the small pit. The blood and the talisman merged, and a thin layer of frost suddenly condensed on the surface.
Immediately afterwards, the Ksitigarbha tree beside the pit seemed to come alive, swaying its branches and beginning to absorb the frosted blood.
After seeing all the blood sucked out, Tu Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "It's done!"
"Is that it?"
After hearing her words, Chu Qiurong dared to speak. Looking at the ordinary Ksitigarbha tree, he was a little puzzled, "After all, I spent three ounces of blood, and this wood just changed color?"
In his eyes, after Tu Nian finished all this work, the Ksitigarbha tree had not changed at all except for the trunk which had changed from brown to crimson purple.
"Talking to a sword cultivator is exhausting."
The taut string loosened, and a feeling of weakness from exhaustion gradually set in. Tu Nian's vision blurred, and he no longer had the energy to curse. He sat down where he was and said weakly, "Now that the extreme yin energy in this Ksitigarbha tree has been drawn out, it's enough to activate the Taiyin Gathering Earth Formation."
Chu Qiurong asked, but she didn't expect anyone to understand. Instead, she frowned in frustration at her half-dead voice. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to her face. He said, "Come on, come on, stop talking and save some food for yourself."
Tu Nian leaned over and took a bite. After just two bites, his mind became much clearer.
"Great."
She praised and gave Chu Qiurong a thumbs up.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Fang Yuan took a closer look at the Ksitigarbha tree and exclaimed in surprise, "I've never seen such extreme Yin Earth properties. Let alone guiding the formation, it's more than enough to even serve as the center of the formation!"
