Chapter 22 Formation
He Laodao’s words convinced the dozens of Qi Practitioners below. He struck while the iron was hot and continued: “Xihefang has sufficient spiritual energy and powerful formations. If we attack outside, it will definitely take a lot of time. Once there are five people nearby, If the Immortal Cultivation Family sends people to rescue us, we may fall short and lose our lives.
It would be best to take advantage of tomorrow’s Xihe meeting to sneak into Fangshi and attack Fangshi by coordinating internal and external forces.
Although Wu Xiangyuan relies on the third-level formation, he is restrained by Wei Mazi’s master and apprentice. As long as Fangshi’s formation shows a slight flaw, I can enter Fangshi and completely defeat the resistance of the Xihefang monks.
Xihefang does not deal with the business of foundation-building monks, so the three of us cannot come forward to avoid arousing Wu Xiangyuan’s alert.
The task of sneaking into the city will be left to you. “
“Senior He, you need a name card to participate in the Xihe Xiaohui. Those of us have no roots in the local area. Most of us are new faces. Except for a few such as Guo Xiaoer, there is no invitation card from the Xihe Xiaohui.” The young Taoist priest Wang Xuanke said in embarrassment.
“Don’t worry about this. Although the old fox can’t take action personally, he can still give us a lot of help secretly.
He has prepared thirty invitation cards for us, and everyone is trying their best to get at least a dozen of the remaining invitation cards.
Forty Qi-training monks sneaked in, which was enough to cause great chaos by surprise. “
He Laodao discussed with everyone for most of the night and finalized almost all the details before leaving.
The remaining qi-training monks also dispersed, meditated for a while and regained their energy before slowly arriving near Xihefang.
Relying on the famous assassins sent by the Hu family monks, they dispersed and infiltrated into Fangshi.
Zhang Zhixuan and others still knew nothing about what was happening outside. They did not know that Fangshi was already facing great danger.
The annual Xihe Small Meeting is a rare grand event for Taicheng County’s casual cultivators.
Any casual cultivator who settles down nearby, as long as they have the guarantee of the monks from the five major families, can get a famous assassin and enter the market to exchange for some spiritual pills, spiritual herbs and other various resources for cultivating immortals.
At each Xihe meeting, less than half of the monks from the entire Taicheng County would come.
One year at most, more than 600 monks gathered in Xihefang. On that day, Xihefang seemed like a city for immortal cultivators.
There were also many monks coming to Xihefang today. Before noon, the nearby casual cultivators and monks from the five major families entered Xihefang in twos and threes.
Seeing that many monks came nearby, the Xihe meeting started quickly, and many casual monks simply set up stalls to exchange some spiritual stones and elixirs with each other.
In these casual repair stalls, due to the lack of shipping channels, their products are slightly cheaper than those in market stores.
Thirty spiritual stones were spent on the Golden Bud Pill. Counting the family benefits Xiao Qingchan received this year, Zhang Zhixuan still had more than twenty spiritual stones in his hand.
With these twenty-odd spiritual stones, he planned to buy a water-attribute array disk.
In order to learn the art of Gathering Spirits and Transforming Rain, he purchased a second-level low-level magic platform and four first-level formation flags from his seventh uncle Zhang Mengyuan. If it could be paired with a formation disk, he could set up a second-level formation.
Now that he is very proficient in releasing the Spirit-Gathering Rain Technique, the formation platform and formation flag are of no use.
If you don’t continue to invest in the formation disk, the spiritual stones you spent before will be useless and you can only wait a few years to sell them at a low price.
Zhang Zhixuan walked around the casual cultivator’s stall and found that the things in the casual cultivator’s hands were very miscellaneous. There was almost everything. According to Zhang Zhixuan’s eyesight, many things were unrecognizable.
The stall owner is an old monk, his clothes are stained with dust, his body is thin and thin, and he has a huge head, which makes him stand out like a clown in the troupe.
“Old senior, how do you sell this array plate of yours?”
“The young man’s eyesight is really extraordinary. Among the things on the stall, this formation plate is of the highest grade. It is already a third-level formation plate. If you want to buy it, I will sell it to you cheaper. It only costs you 100 spirit stones.” I saw a customer coming. , the elderly stall owner was frothing at the mouth and introduced his products non-stop.
Seeing the elderly casual cultivator dancing and spitting, Zhang Zhixuan frowned and said: “Old senior, I am a monk of the Zhang family, and I will have to hang around in the market from now on.
You must also know the price of a third-level formation disk. If your formation disk is truly a third-order formation, I will make the decision and ask Baicao Xuan to buy it for the price of a thousand spiritual stones.
If you tell the truth and deceive Baicao Xuan, I’m afraid you won’t be able to easily walk out of Fangshi.
How’s it going, old timer?
Do you want to take the array plate to Baicaoxuan for appraisal? “
The elderly casual cultivator’s face turned red, he waved his hands in embarrassment and said: “It turns out that the kid is not a casual cultivator, but a famous Zhang family cultivator.
There is no need to go to Baicao Pavilion. Although the formation disk is not of the third level, this formation disk is really good. If you really want it, you must take out at least fifty spirit stones. “
“I dare to ask the old senior, did you refine this array yourself?”
Although Zhang Zhixuan is young, he is somewhat shrewd and capable in his words. The lie has just been exposed, and the old casual cultivator stopped lying and told the truth: “I have never learned how to arrange the formation. Of course I did not refine the formation myself.” .
But a few decades ago, before I even set foot on the road, I was sailing on a boat in the vast sea. The boat capsized due to strong waves, and then I suddenly encountered a giant whale and was swallowed whole by the giant whale. It was also my good luck. Not only did I survive safely, , and got this array.
Although I can’t be sure about this formation disk, it should be a second-level formation disk. It also has a special meaning to me. If you give out too few spiritual stones, I will never sell it. “
Things like formation platforms, formation disks, and formation flags are rarely available in Xihefang.
It is not easy to train formation masters, and other monks are not willing to use outside formation masters to set up formations, lest others see through the flaws in the formations.
Although the Zhang family has trained Zhang Menglong, the third-level formation master, they have only sold three second-level formations in the past few decades, all to the lowest level of casual cultivators.
The monks from the nearby families, not counting the five major families, even the small cultivating families without the foundation period, would go to Qingxuan Sect to purchase formations.
After all, the formation masters of Qingxuan Sect are superior and will basically not be bribed by the enemy. They will not leak the flaws of the formation to others, so as not to ruin their brand.
Zhang Menglong is over eighty years old and has lost some energy. He also serves as the family elder and has a lot of family affairs.
Besides, Zhang Zhixuan didn’t have many interactions with the old man, and they weren’t very close blood relatives, so he didn’t want to bother him with spending time refining the formation plate for himself.
The formation disks were not easy to sell in the market, so Zhang Zhixuan could only try his luck with the casual cultivators who set up stalls in Xihe Xiaohui to see if there were any suitable formation disks.
The elderly casual cultivators have become mature and are very familiar with the goods in the market, so they repeatedly offer high prices, hoping to get a good price for the array plate in their hands.
