After the massacre in Fangshi, Wulin Marketplace's inspections were obviously much tighter.
Originally there were only patrolling monks on duty at the entrances and exits and a few main streets, but now an additional layer has been added to the outer temporary residence and the west lane.
When I passed the square gate at night, even Rogue Cultivator's voice was much lowered.
But this tension did not last long, and the new news pushed the entire Outpost and Fangshi's atmosphere into an even tighter place.
Ghost Mist Forest Peripheral, something happened.
The news came back early in the morning. Outpost A Qi refining team responsible for patrolling and communicating was attacked at Southern Old Patrol Route. One person was killed and the other injured.
The dead Qi Refining monk was killed on the spot, while the other one managed to escape and brought the news back to Outpost.
When Li Yuan heard the news, Management Office was looking through yesterday's newly recorded entry and exit book.
The monk who came to report the news turned pale and spoke in a hurry.
"Outside Ghost Mist Forest, over there at Southern Old Patrol Route, a Qi refining team was attacked. One was killed and the other injured."
"The one who did it was Qi Refining Monk Dark Abyss Society."
As soon as the last few words were spoken, the monks in the room who were still sorting out the account books and formation diagrams stopped for a moment.
Li Yuan raised his head and asked first.
"How to confirm that it is Dark Abyss Society?"
On the surface, Dark Abyss Society's ability is the result of some kind of transaction. Just relying on Dark Abyss Society itself, Yuanyang Sect will be destroyed with just one golden elixir.
How dare you attack monk Yuanyang Sect?
"Dark Abyss Society people said it themselves."
The monk who came to report the news took a breath.
"Before the injured person escaped back, he heard the other party leave a message, saying that since Yuanyang Sect dared to go online some time ago, people outside should be more careful."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several people in the room darkened.
Limited to the fight between Qi Refining Stage, this is not a formal declaration of war, but more like a counterattack and revenge to close the network some time ago.
This is a line that has been crossed. After all, the condition for Dark Abyss Society's appearance in the public eye is that he is not allowed to interfere with Ruins and his spiritual veins. It is his own business if Yuanyang Sect hooks Dark Abyss Society.
However, the specific contract between Yuanyang and Dark Abyss Society Li Yuan is not clear, so it is impossible to make a judgment.
Soon after, the order from Outpost came over.
Patrols everywhere have been tightened, and the city Demon-Probing Array continues to strengthen. Qi refining monks are not allowed to leave the temple alone unless necessary. At least two people must go together in all outbound operations.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Chen Yi arrived in the afternoon of the same day as Management Office.
Chen Yi came in and said directly, "Demon-Probing Array needs to add another layer."
"I'll first look at the existing formation map and reason about where we can deploy the formation." Li Yuan said.
"Okay." Chen Yi said, "You take the lead. If there is any shortage of Formation Materials and manpower, please report directly."
Li Yuan looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked, "How many Formation Materials and manpower can the sect give?"
"Formation Materials I'll stick to your side first," Chen Yi said. "Three Array monks and ten disciples. We will make up for the missing ones."
That's enough, Li Yuan nodded.
"Okay, I'll change it."
Chen Yi's expression softened a little.
"The sect has said that this is considered a formal mission and the contribution will not be small."
Li Yuan did not respond to the comment, but only pulled the formation diagram forward a little, and slowly traced the main circuits of Fangshi with his fingertips. Chen Yi did not interrupt, and stood aside to wait.
After a while, Li Yuan clicked on the first place.
"The original problem is not Main Array's eyesight, but that the nodes are too scattered. The entrance and exit can be scanned once, but it is easy to disconnect after entering the workshop. As long as people are not brightly illuminated on the first floor, and they blend into the crowd later, many subtle fluctuations will be washed away."
"So first connect the four gates and the three main streets to form a continuous comparison structure."
Li Yuan also clicked on several locations on the west and north sides that were originally only auxiliary detection locations to illustrate the problem.
Chen Yi After listening, he asked directly.
"How accurate can it be?"
"If you bring demonic energy into the city, you can't hide it as long as you pass through the formation." Li Yuan said.
"Unless the opponent doesn't use any demonic energy at all, or has other high-level means to help him completely cleanse his aura, otherwise as long as the demonic energy is still circulating in the body, there will definitely be an echo."
Chen Yi After listening, he didn't say anything more. He just said, "You start first," and then turned around to mediate people. Formation Materials.
In the next few days, Li Yuan spent almost half of his time with Demon-Probing Array.
The foundation of First-Order Array Dao Perfection is there, and Array-Talisman Mutual Reflection has been made permanent at the time of Array Dao Perfection. Many problems that originally relied on trial and error can now be seen by walking along Array Pattern.
At the same time, Li Yuan added early warning structures to several master nodes.
This thing is not responsible for catching people, nor does it directly emit spiritual light. When Demon-Probing Array scans for an abnormality, it will first temporarily hang on that ray of abnormality, and then immediately transfer it to two nearby nodes. In this way, even if the target just brushes past the edge of Array, the abnormality will not disappear in a flash, but will be captured by multiple nodes at the same time.
After this step is completed, Demon-Probing Array in the entire city will be completely different.
The set of Array in the past was more like a single-point sweep. Now it is like a truly spread net. One place is different, two or three places are illuminated at the same time, and then follow the Array Pattern all the way back to the Main Array eye.
Five days later, the first round of comprehensive renovation was completed.
Chen Yi personally brought people to see the test results.
In order not to alarm others, Yuanyang Sect did not actually capture the Devil Cultivator for testing. Instead, they used the Formation Materials, which has sealed the magic energy, to compare it with a few old items that were specially designed to suppress the magic energy. The first ones were okay. As soon as the Array Eye passed by, the Sensing Pattern on the Main Array Disk immediately lit up. When I switched to the old item that hid the magic energy deeply, I scanned it for the first time, and the Array Disk only moved slightly.
A Array monk next to him just frowned, and the next moment, the other two Auxiliary Node also lit up at the same time.
The results of the three places were returned to Main Array's eyes. The originally faint line in the center of Array Disk immediately became clearer several times.
Chen Yi stared at Array Disk for two breaths before slowly exhaling.
"It's done."
Li Yuan didn't say anything, he just wrote down the positions of the last two spare nodes in the array diagram.
This set of modifications is enough to increase the sensitivity of Demon-Probing Array in the market several times. If Devil Cultivator still enters the workshop with demonic energy in the future, unless his cultivation and means far exceed the upper limit of the current Array, it will be almost impossible to get through it as easily as before.
Array After the inspection, the sect's contribution was quickly verified.
When Chen Yi handed Identity Token back, he said something casually.
"This contribution is enough for you to exchange for a lot of things."
Li Yuan took Identity Token and put it away without saying much.
Array After temporarily stabilizing, Fangshi did not relax.
The war between the Qishui Sect and Fiend Demon Sect continues to escalate, and more and more monks are flowing out from Yun Province. Previously, only scattered people entered the workshop, but now, they have begun to move to Liang Province in batches.
Wulin Marketplace is close to Ghost Mist Forest, and with the names of Outpost and Ruins, naturally more people come.
The main street is often so crowded that two beast carts cannot run parallel to each other. The temporary residence in the outer circle has been expanded twice, but it is still not enough. When there are more outside monks, friction also increases.
Some people fought over the stalls, some quarreled over the price of the goods received, and some had disputes over the accommodation in the inn.
There was also a disagreement between the monk from Yun Province and the local Rogue Cultivator from Liang Province. They almost made a move at the gate of the workshop, but were forcefully pushed back by the patrolling monk.
As a result, the market became more and more lively.
The flow of resources is much faster than before, and there are more and more people who collect monster materials, sell Medicinal Pill, repair Law Artifact, and engrave Array Disk on behalf of others. Several small shops in the city that were half dead have all turned on their lights these days.
Ziyuan Trading Firm and Wang Family asked for Spirit Water Talisman, and Li Yuan also took the time to deliver the goods.
The area of Spirit Field that was previously developed also had its first harvest during this period.
Several commonly used spirit medicine and supporting auxiliary materials have been collected one after another. Although it is far from a huge profit, it can make up for part of the needs for Alchemy in the future, and there is no need to go outside to collect everything.
After being busy with the market and trading, Li Yuan turned his attention back to Body Tempering.
Nameless Body Refining Technique is already advancing, and Medicine-Refined Strong Body is also attached to Equipment Slot. Next, if you want to make Bone and Membrane Co-cultivation green Affix Permanentization, what is missing is the number of spells related to Body Tempering.
Li Yuan was first collected from the market, and then used the newly acquired sect's contribution to exchange for it, and finally three doors of Body Tempering were collected.
The first one is a spell that uses the power of ores to polish the body. During practice, you need to grind specific ores and draw out their spirituality, and then press them into the muscles and bones Skin Membrane little by little along the way. This is a method of using foreign objects to harden the body.
The second one is a spell that purely consumes one's own spiritual power to wash away the physical body repeatedly. There is no external support, and the advantage is that you can master it quickly. As long as you have enough spiritual power during practice, you can keep grinding it down.
The third door is the method of refining by fire. Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi is used for external burning and internal refining, specifically quenching the outer layer of Skin Membrane, flesh and blood, and bones. The method is more intense and more suitable for people like Li Yuan who specialize in Fire Element spells.
As for the ore Body Tempering, when I practiced it for the first time, Li Yuan tried it for two rounds first to confirm that what really worked in the ore debris was the heavy earth-metal spirituality in it, rather than just hard grinding and friction.
After repairing, just go down according to the most effective ore.
For the pure spiritual power Body Tempering, the difficulty is not in the method itself, but in the fact that the spiritual power must be pressed firmly enough so that it cannot disperse when washing away the physical body. Li Yuan has the foundation of the Hundred Rivers Return to Sea and Spirit Qi Condensation, and adapts much faster than ordinary people. After figuring out the operation route, the follow-up progress has been very stable.
The door that is refined by fire is the most suitable for him.
When Fire-Attribute Spirit Qi goes down along the Skin Membrane and the outer layer of the bone, there will be obvious burning pain at first. However, the stacking of Blazing Sun Method, Flame Essence Refinement and Three Elements Body Protection these Affixs suppresses the part that is most likely to hurt the body, leaving only the layer that can really grind the body.
Several spells Li Yuan were not broken down into many complete scenes for repeated demonstrations.
What should be written is the new places and key results.
A few days later, he successfully pushed all three Body Tempering Method techniques to Entry Level.
At the moment when the last fire refining spell Entry Level was cast, Panel finally jumped out.
[Bone and Membrane Co-cultivation (green) permanent conditions have been met]
[Is it permanent?]
Li Yuan Stop the method and confirm directly.
[Bone and Membrane Co-cultivation (green) has become Permanent Affix]
A heavy feeling pressed all the way from Skin Membrane into the bones.
It is not a simple pain, nor is it obvious swelling, but something like the outer layer of the body that was originally separated layer by layer is pressed tighter again by a force. The subtle flow of spiritual power under Skin Membrane becomes more stable, and the outer edges of the bones also seem to have an extra layer of support that can withstand more force.
The changes are not exaggerated, but very real.
Li Yuan raised his hand and made a fist. When the muscles on the back of his hand tensed up, the force on his forearm and shoulder was stronger than before.
After Bone and Membrane Co-cultivation became permanent, Li Yuan did not hesitate and directly took out the Alchemy Classic that had been put into the storage bag.
[Equipped: Alchemy Classic (complete)]
[Alchemy Insight (green) is in effect]
The moment Affix entered the fence, the already familiar level of alchemy cognition in the sea of consciousness felt as if someone had gently nudged it from the inside.
Li Yuan didn't start the stove immediately, but could already feel the change.
If we look at Pill Formula and the medicinal materials again, many of the changes in medicinal properties that originally required more pauses to be seen clearly should be easier to see than before. This is not to gain new knowledge out of thin air, but to push forward the Alchemy skills that I already have.
