The Sealing Formation Stone

Inside the sect's main hall.

The two sat down on the ground, Liao Pantu tossed several storage rings and Storage Bag to Lin Xiao, asking him to help order.

In the blink of an eye, a jumble of random items had piled up around them.

Soon after, Liu Yunan arrived and joined the team counting the spoils of war.

The items around the three people were of various kinds.

Spirit Stone are the most numerous.

There were also some colorful pills, which didn't look very high-end.

There are also a great many low-level crafting materials in both quantity and type.

In fact, many of the basic materials and low-level items here were accumulated over the years in the Shangyang Sect's large warehouse, but Wei Hai had taken them all for himself.

Wei Hai was originally a cultivator from the Mortal Realm, and for hundreds of years he had been busy collecting various items to improve his cultivation, so he was not wealthy.

Unlike Liao Pantu, who, in his spare time from cultivation, also had time to hone various skills and amass a large fortune.

On the path of cultivation, everyone's situation is different.

"Huh, what's this?"

Just then, Liu Yunan suddenly raised a large, black, fist-sized rock in his hand.

This stone has a rather peculiar material; its surface has a dark, flowing light, making it clearly unusual.

He reached out and took it, looked at it, couldn't see anything wrong with it, and then handed it to Senior Liao was standing next to him.

Unexpectedly, even Senior Liao, this encyclopedia, shook his head after examining the black stone for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao took the stone back and put it in his private vault, then used his appraisal function on it.

[One of the activated Taiyin Sealing Formation stones. Aside from returning it to the Taiyin Sealing Formation to play its irreplaceable role, you might only be able to use it for physical attacks or as decoration.]

Upon seeing the test results, Lin Xiao looked up and asked Liao Pantu:

"Senior, do you know about the Taiyin Sealing Formation?"

"Lunar?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Pantu frowned slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and then slowly shook his head, saying:

"I've heard of some sealing arrays, but I've never heard of the Taiyin Sealing Formation. I have heard that there seems to be a Taiyang Formation in the Immortal Cultivation Realm Immortal Ascension Domain world and rarely visited by people. But I don't know if it's a sealing array or what it's used for."

"What, is this a formation stone from the Taiyin Sealing Formation?"

This wasn't the first time Liao Pantu had noticed Lin Xiao's seemingly ability to instantly grasp the basic origins of many things.

He had long known that Lin Xiao possessed extraordinary abilities.

But he didn't seem to care much about it.

On the contrary, I felt quite good about it.

With a sect leader like that, things would be much more reliable.

Lin Xiao nodded to him.

"This appears to be one of the array stones used in a formation called the Taiyin Sealing Formation."

Liu Yunan observed their conversation and roughly understood that the stone was probably part of a sealing array called 'Taiyin'.

However, that was not his focus.

He asked Liao Pantu with some curiosity:

"Senior Liao, is that Immortal Ascension Domain the same as the Southern Spirit Domain where Yuanling City is located, which you visited before? Like a province in our mortal realm?"

Liao Pantu hadn't expected him to ask about this, and said to him:

"Pretty much, but its area is much larger than a province in the Mortal Realm. Moreover, no one has ever fully measured the Immortal Ascension Domain, so no one knows exactly how big it is... Of course, perhaps someone has measured it, but hasn't made it public. I, for one, have never heard of it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunan nodded thoughtfully and remained silent.

Lin Xiao said to the two of them:

"This array stone isn't really of any use to our sect anyway, so I'll keep it for now. In case it turns out to be some important array stone, we might be able to put it back."

Lin Xiao guessed that the array stone might have been taken from somewhere by Wei Hai, or obtained from someone else.

I wonder what is sealed inside this Taiyin Sealing Formation.

This name doesn't sound like something low-class.

If we were to seal away some vicious and wicked being, we'd be doomed.

I'll carry this stone with me whenever I go out from now on.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to run into it and be able to put it back.

Liu Yunan and Liao Pantu naturally had no objections, so Lin Xiao put the array stone into his private treasury.

As he thought about it, Lin Xiao suddenly realized another possibility.

"Do you think this Taiyin Sealing Formation might belong to the Shangyang Sect?"

Liao Pantu stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying:

"It's not impossible. You can try to find out."

So Lin Xiao said:

"It just so happens that the cultivator from the Shangyang Sect from yesterday is still here. We can go and subtly ask him about it."

Yesterday, the cultivator from the Shangyang Sect was thrown onto the Heart-Questioning Road, but unfortunately, he failed the selection Heart-Questioning Road.

After he took the antidote pill refined by Sun Yigao, the poison pill that the Nascent Soul Cultivator fed him became ineffective.

After thanking him, the cultivator hesitated for a moment before deciding to return to the Shangyang Sect.

Although Shangyang Sect no longer has a sect leader or elders, and its accumulated wealth over the years is almost gone, he has nowhere to go for the time being.

As for his fellow disciples who were sent with him to find the location of the Lingxian Sect, who knows where they all went?

Anyway, he stayed in Xiushui Village for a whole day and night, but didn't even see a trace of them.

After learning that there was indeed a sect here, and that it was the sect that had defeated Wei Hai.

This disciple of the Shangyang Sect originally wanted to switch allegiance to the Lingxian Sect.

However, he just couldn't get past Heart-Questioning Road.

So after much deliberation, he decided to return to the Shangyang Sect first and then make further plans.

However, just as he was about to leave, the royal patriarch Li Zhanying stopped him.

Li Zhanying told him that he was quite bored being alone in the countryside and wanted to find someone to serve him, wondering if he would be willing.

The disciples of the Shangyang Sect were naturally willing.

This is a Nascent Soul ancestor!

Although the other party didn't intend to take me as a disciple, it would be nice to have someone serve by my side!

What if, after spending more time together, they take a liking to you and decide to take you under their wing?

Back when I was at the Shangyang Sect, my master was only at the Golden Core Stage. Although that was already incredibly powerful for him, how could he compare to Nascent Soul Venerable?

Besides, he had been under his master's tutelage for over fifty years, and had always been an unimportant figure.

The master only showed favor to a few disciples with exceptional talent who cultivated rapidly; for those of average talent, it was just a matter of saving face.

Unlike now.

Didn't you hear what the Nascent Soul Venerable said?

Feeling rather bored alone in the countryside, he wanted to find someone to stay by his side.

That meant spending every day alone with Nascent Soul Venerable!

Therefore, this disciple of the Shangyang Sect stayed in Xiushui Village for the time being.

Oh, by the way, this Shangyang Sect disciple is named Wang Goudan.
