The Changes in the Great Formation

As the Danxin Sect patriarch began burning incense and meditating, Ou Mingyin also began to adjust his mindset. He used a method completely different from that of the Danxin Sect patriarch, breathing in and out the essence of heaven and earth through a special breathing technique.

People could see that, centered on Ou Mingyin, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth spontaneously condensed into points of light, converging towards Ou Mingyin.

After these points of light Ou Mingyin's body, they naturally disappeared. Gradually, Ou Mingyin entered a mysterious state, free from all forms, emptiness, and self.

"This is Ou Mingyin's ancestral Qi-cultivation secret method. Both of these great medicine masters have shown their true skills!"

Other alchemists envied Ou Mingyin and the Danxin Sect's profound knowledge and secret methods. They did not have such methods of cultivating qi, and could only meditate and regulate their breathing. Although the effect was slightly worse, it was still acceptable.

Many alchemists had already begun studying this Medicine God Array. They didn't expect to be able to decipher it; they were there to learn and broaden their horizons. The numerous array patterns contained profound principles of medicine, and comprehending even a few patterns would be a great opportunity for them.

This Medicine Nurturing Great Formation was like a towering mountain to them, but they had plenty of time and only needed to climb a little bit.

Several hours later, Ou Mingyin, who was meditating, suddenly suppressed all his aura. At the same time, Danxin Old Ancestor opened his eyes. The Spirit Soothing Incense in front of him had burned out!

They simultaneously ended their practice of cultivating qi.

"Hehe, Old Freak Dugu, you opened your eyes as soon as I withdrew my qi. What, are you in a hurry? Usually, it takes you several days to cultivate your qi, so why did it only take a few hours this time? Are you worried about losing your Purple Spirit Medicine Soil and the Medicine God's inheritance? Then Spirit Soothing Incense you burned earlier was for nothing?"

Ou Mingyin looked at the Danxin Old Ancestor with amusement.

However, Danxin Old Ancestor only responded with a cold laugh. He didn't speak, but simply waved his hand and cast a hand seal. This hand seal was like a flying arrow that pierced into the ground. Then, an array pattern lit up in the soil.

This array pattern stretched for more than ten feet, and the runes on its surface flashed alternately, as if it had come to life.

This is...

People stared in astonishment at Danxin Old Ancestor, and even the alchemists who were meditating unconsciously stopped.

The array patterns in front of me grew brighter and brighter, almost like a small sun being born there!

This left them all dumbfounded. Danxin Old Ancestor had been meditating and regulating his breathing, and hadn't even glanced at the array pattern. But now, as soon as he finished meditating, he casually cast a hand seal and activated an array pattern.

Seeing the dazzling brilliance of the array pattern, everyone understood that it meant that Danxin Old Ancestor had figured out the principle behind this array pattern!

How could it be so fast!?

Everyone was shocked. Ou Mingyin's face turned very ugly. Actually, achieving this was nothing special. He could also comprehend a formation pattern and activate it, but that would require a long time of comprehension. Danxin Old Ancestor, on the other hand, did it in the first place!

"You've seen this array pattern before, haven't you?" Ou Mingyin said in a deep voice.

"Never seen it before." Danxin Old Ancestor sneered, "However, many great principles in this world share commonalities. In addition, I have read part of the Medicine God's Classics, so I naturally drew inferences from one instance to another and instantly grasped the mystery."

"Danxin Old Ancestor said proudly," his words leaving listeners with a sense of awe and wonder.

They've been trying to understand this for so long, but they haven't cracked any of the secrets. Yet, Danxin Old Ancestor saw through a single array pattern at a glance. The difference is just too great.

"If this continues, won't Patriarch Dugu be able to break this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation very soon?"

Even the alchemist himself couldn't believe saying that.

"It can't be too fast... Even Ancestor Dugu himself said it would take one or two hundred years, but without a doubt, Ancestor Dugu is the most likely person to see through this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation."

Many people firmly believed this, and the disciples of the Danxin Sect were extremely proud at this time. Their ancestor was too powerful, far surpassing everyone else.

"This is the strength of our ancestor. I have long heard that our ancestor's mastery of medicine is unparalleled, and no one can match him. I am truly fortunate to witness our ancestor's prowess today."

"I don't think even the God of Medicine is that much better than our ancestor. Given time, our ancestor might become the next God of Medicine."

Several junior members of the Danxin Sect spoke excitedly, as if they themselves had seen through the array patterns at a glance.

"Where is that blind Yi Yun?"

A Danxin Sect disciple with slightly smaller eyes suddenly remembered Yi Yun. People looked up and saw that Yi Yun had already walked into the depths of the wasteland, and they didn't know what he was doing.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it's laughable and shows a lack of self-awareness."

The small-eyed disciple of the Danxin Sect sneered, but his voice suddenly paused, and then he looked at Yi Yun's feet in astonishment.

At some point, golden threads seemed to appear in the places where Yi Yun had walked.

These golden threads spread out like a spider web, spanning over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) in width.

"What is that...?"

The disciple of the Danxin Sect with small eyes was surprised, and as he spoke, many people looked towards Yi Yun.

They saw the golden threads shimmering intermittently, their light dim yet ever-increasing.

Gradually, the golden threads gathered together.

Its light remained dim, like ashes that had not been completely burned, emitting only a faint glow.

"What's so surprising? The ancestor saw through one of the array patterns at a glance. This kid has been studying it for so long, it's nothing to make a fuss about him causing trouble."

The small-eyed Danxin Sect disciple forced himself to speak, though he was also incredibly shocked. Leaving aside the ancestor, who was a god-like figure, they had over ten thousand other people who hadn't managed to produce anything after all this time. Yet Yi Yun, a cultivator of less than two hundred years, had managed to make these golden threads appear on the ground.

He himself couldn't even understand the meaning of these gold threads, so how could he not be jealous?

"Wait, that's...!"

Suddenly, someone noticed something incredible. Pointing to the ever-converging golden threads, they had formed a golden ball of light that was rising higher and higher, its ends already detached from the ground.

Then, something even more astonishing happened: the ball of light expanded and flattened in mid-air, forming a golden gate of light!

The gate was over ten feet tall, with a shimmering, mercury-like surface on its surface, and its destination was unknown.

And then this gate of light appeared right in front of Yi Yun.

Yi Yun looked at the portal of light, let out a soft breath, and turned to the Nine Li Witch Maiden behind him, saying, "Let's go in."

"This..."

The Nine Li Witch Maiden was also astonished when she saw the gate of light. She realized that Yi Yun had found the entrance to this great formation!

Over the years, most pharmacists, even the Medicine Saint, have tried to comprehend this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation from the outside in.

But Yi Yun started from the inside!

The Nine Li Witch Maiden did not hesitate. She glanced at Yi Yun, her eyes flashing with a strange light, and nodded, saying, "Alright!"

Then, the Nine Li Witch Maiden and Yi Yun stepped into the gate of light together!

The Old Man Black Stone was also extremely shocked. He did not expect that Yi Yun could achieve this at such a young age. Given time, he might really be able to complete this formation!

Concerned for the safety of the Nine Li Witch Maiden, he followed her into the portal.

The next moment, the portal vanished.

As Kinmen disappeared, the wasteland returned to its silent state, as if nothing had happened.

All ten thousand alchemists present, including Danxin Old Ancestor and Ou Mingyin, watched this scene unfold.

At this moment, the Danxin Old Ancestor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Ancestor, what exactly did Yi Yun do...?" The small-eyed Danxin Sect disciple still didn't understand what had happened.

His question was like salt rubbed into the wound of the Danxin Old Ancestor.

This is like rubbing salt in the wound. He glared at the Danxin Sect disciple. Yi Yun had found the entrance to the great formation on his own, but the younger generation of the Danxin Sect didn't know what Yi Yun had done. Compared to this, the Danxin Old Ancestor suddenly felt that the Danxin Sect, which he had invested so much effort in, had simply raised a bunch of trash!

The Danxin Old Ancestor didn't speak, but the disgust in his eyes made the small-eyed disciple tremble. He realized that he must have said something wrong and offended the Ancestor.

The small-eyed disciple felt as if he had been punched hard in the head. How could a junior disciple of the Danxin Sect be disliked by the patriarch?

Yi Yun has entered the inner part of this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation!

An elder from the Danxin Sect, unable to bear seeing his juniors in such a state, used his spiritual energy to send a reminder.

This reminder only made the small-eyed disciple more disoriented. "Enter the interior of the formation and comprehend it from the inside out?"

Even a fool could see the difference between understanding something from within and understanding it from without.

The more than 10,000 alchemists present now understood what Yi Yun had done.

People looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They had thought Yi Yun was studying the array patterns, but in fact, Yi Yun was searching for the entrance to the great array!

Yi Yun's initial position was far superior to theirs, and this was based on strength. Even if they wanted to find the entrance from the inside out, they wouldn't be able to find it.

"Can we go in too?"

Many people looked at the Danxin Old Ancestor.

Although Yi Yun's actions shocked them, the fact that Danxin Old Ancestor could comprehend a formation pattern with just one glance and activate it was beyond their imagination.

Perhaps even the Danxin Old Ancestor can find the entrance to the great formation!

The disciples of the Danxin Sect, in particular, had great faith in their ancestor. They believed that once their ancestor found the entrance, they could follow him in and gain even more insights inside the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation!

With a somber face, Danxin Old Ancestor walked into the depths of the wasteland, searching for the entrance to the great formation.

Ou Mingyin followed, his expression equally grim. Recalling his earlier use of the Qi-cultivation technique, he felt as if he had wasted his time, especially compared to Yi Yun; his actions seemed like those of an idiot.
