A Good Master-Grandpa
Looking at the Formation diagram etched in the sky, Li Jinyao blinked and turned to Bai Qiuran, saying, "This Formation diagram can't be memorized just by memory... Sword Ancestor, please resolve it."
Bai Qiuran casually used a Palm Seal to crush the giant monster. Then Li Jinyao continued, "Let's first locate the positions of these Formation Diagram. Once Junior Sister Ruowei arrives with the Surveying and Mapping tools, we'll use Surveying and Mapping methods to make a copy of this Formation that can produce Upper-Grade Spirit Stone."
That's right. The reason Bai Qiuran going back and forth through this trial but never passed it was not only to farm Spirit Stone, but also to wait for someone to find a way to record the Formation that could produce Spirit Stone so that he could take it back and study it slowly.
Bai Qiuran knew that behind that grand hall, there was most likely an Earth Immortal waiting for him. When he first stepped outside the hall, his Spiritual Sense had already sensed the intense fluctuations of Spiritual Sense emanating from inside the hall. As he approached the hall door, the emotions of that Spiritual Sense were as turbulent as a roller coaster.
The guy inside probably never imagined that his Spiritual Sense power could penetrate the defensive Barrier of the hall, so he just sat there brazenly.
Although he could send people to study the Cave Abode slowly after clearing out the enemies inside, no one knew what methods those enemies had. If they ran out of tricks and destroyed the Formation or even the entire Cave Abode in a desperate attempt to sabotage it, then everything would be over.
Let alone these methods, if Bai Qiuran accidentally brush against those Formation even once or twice during the battle, it would be disastrous.
The Formation that can create Spirit Stone is not on the same level as the Spirit Qi -Spirit-Gathering Formation that can gather spiritual energy. Even if the Formation that creates Spirit Stone is slow, it is still equivalent to the Cultivation World having the ability to infinitely regenerate Spirit Stone resources.
Spirit Stone are essentially tools to aid Cultivators in their practice, or energy used in creations such as Formation and mechanisms. They are an important consumable. The reason why the Cultivation World uses Spirit Stone as the basic currency is that the number of Cultivation World is still relatively small, and the reserves of Spirit Stone mines are still inexhaustible for Cultivators.
However, no one can guarantee that, as the Cultivation World develops further in the future, the Spirit Stone mined alone will be enough to meet the needs of Cultivators.
Only with improved production capacity can the Cultivation World further develop. Now that I think about it, the fact that the Human Race was able to establish a unified and prosperous Cultivation Immortal Dynasty Human-Demon War must have been due to this.
Bai Qiuran led Li Jinyao upwards, blocking all the monsters they encountered, while Li Jinyao was responsible for finding the locations of the hidden Formation. After some effort, the two spent about a whole day successfully finding the locations of all the Formation in this trial.
There are definitely more than just Formation for regenerating Upper-Grade Spirit Stone here. Formation for Creation monsters and for attracting Tribulation Lightning Formation all densely mixed together, forming an incredibly complex Formation Diagram. For now, we can only use the clumsy method of copying it all down and then slowly analyze the results after bringing it back.
After finding the locations of all the Formation, the two retraced their steps back to the cliff.
Just as they steadied themselves, several more people emerged from the mist above.
"This is the last hurdle, so stay focused."
Qing Danying emerged from the mist, speaking words of encouragement to someone behind her. Then she turned around and saw Bai Qiuran standing below her.
The young girl was clearly taken aback for a moment, then a look of vigilance appeared on her face, and she shouted, "Watch out! It seems the [Meeting with Those You Hate] trial isn't over yet! You scoundrel, take this!"
As she spoke, she lunged towards Bai Qiuran, unleashing both palms in unison, creating a vast Emerald-Green Sea of Fire with a flurry of palm shadows.
Bai Qiuran pulled Li Jinyao behind him, then reached out and grabbed Qing Danying by the back of the neck, pulling her out of the flames. The emerald green flames struck Bai Qiuran's face, then split in two with his body as the dividing line, like a torrent blocked by rocks, creating a large blank area behind Bai Qiuran that was vulnerable to attack.
"Let me go!"
Qing Danying fluttered incessantly in Bai Qiuran's hands, just like when she was a chick hundreds of years ago, and Bai Qiuran held her by the wings.
This time, however, it seems she has two helpers.
Upon hearing Qing Danying's shout, two attacks suddenly appeared from within the mist. Bai Qiuran was very familiar with both of these attacks. One of them was the Soul-Devouring Bone-Eroding Palm from Su Xiangxue's Phantom Shadow Fragrant Trace Art, and the other Sword Light came from the Azure Nether Sword Sect, where he had once instructed Jueyunzi on the Sharp Gold Sword.
Bai Qiuran raised his palm and blocked the attack. He casually redirected the Sword Light and the chilling, sinister palm force to the cliff side with his True Qi, causing cracks to appear on a large section of the cliff.
Two figures emerged from the mist: Su Xiangxue's disciple You Meiqiao, and Jueyunzi's newly accepted young apprentice, a taciturn boy named Lin Fan.
Upon seeing that Bai Qiuran was the one who subdued Qing Danying, both of them were visibly stunned for a moment. However, the next moment, Lin Fan took the initiative to attack, his metal Flying Sword splitting into countless Sword Light and shadows, attacking Bai Qiuran.
Sword Light danced across the sky, precisely the style of Jueyunzi's Sharp Gold Sword. Judging from its power, Lin Fan, this young man, had clearly cultivated the form of the Sharp Gold Sword to the most consummate level. Seeing this, Bai Qiuran also raised his Sword Finger and performed the same sword technique, using his fingers as a sword, and began to spar with Lin Fan.
With a flick of their fingertips, Sword Light flashed, and the Sword Light unleashed by Bai Qiuran and Lin Fan danced and collided within a three-foot radius around them, producing crisp clanging sounds. During their exchange of Book of Questions, Bai Qiuran calm and composed, while Lin Fan's expression grew increasingly tense, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
"Gold represents change, https://m. hetushu. com. com Therefore, the essence of the Sharp Gold Sword is rapid and endless change; you must strike from an angle the enemy cannot anticipate, and in a way the enemy cannot anticipate."
Bai Qiuran caught Lin Fan's Flying Sword between two fingers and said, "Your skills aren't up to par yet. Go back and ask your master to guide you."
With that, he twisted his wrist, easily disarming Lin Fan's sword, and at the same time used the hilt of his Flying Sword to strike Lin Fan's chest, sending him flying back.
But at this moment, another figure appeared gracefully. You Meiqiao moved with a graceful and charming Footwork, like a dancer, and stretched out her hands to attack Bai Qiuran's two vital points.
Her movements resembled Mortal World's embrace, but her palms carried a chilling coldness.
Seeing You Meiqiao's movements, Bai Qiuran hesitated slightly, then grabbed her wrist with a standard grappling move.
Although he technically knew the Moves of the Phantom Shadow Fragrant Trace Art, it was ultimately Cultivation Technique for women to practice, and for a man to use it was just too... well, you know.
"Your Footwork is good, but your movements are too affected."
With one hand restraining You Meiqiao, Bai Qiuran commented, "Like your master, when she makes a move, I don't know if she really wants a hug or wants to kill someone."
You Meiqiao struggled a couple of times, Bai Qiuran took the opportunity to release her, also throwing Qing Danying out with her.
At this moment, Lin Fan picked up the Flying Sword and wanted to continue his attack, but You Meiqiao stopped him.
"No need to hit anymore."
She said, "This is genuine... Greetings, Master."
