In the Shade Ridge.
Qin Li specialized in the Feng Shui Exotic Formation.
This was his first encounter with formations, and learning was somewhat arduous.
However, Old Devil Dugu was superb in his skills, following the instructions and explaining the basic principles of formations in depth.
Qin Li learns very quickly, and vaguely feels that the array pattern, the weapon pattern, the Dan pattern has some commonalities, after all, the mysteries of heaven and earth have the same path, the order of all things has its own theorem.
Only three days of work, Qin Li has learned, finally able to understand the heavenly book of formation drawings, able to carve some of the formation pattern on their own hands. Moreover, a storage bag was searched out beside the skeleton, with ready-made formation materials.
And there was also a suicide note in it.
“My name is Wei Jinshui, an unorthodox Heaven Sealer who tried to decipher the mysteries of the Shade Ridge, only to consume himself to death.”
“If you can get out, the Feng Shui Exotic Formation, as well as the magic treasure, the Legendary Sword, are all given to you. My only request is that I want you to take care of my daughter, her name is Wei Xi, she lives in Yanjing, and has just turned eight years old ……”
The notes in the back were scribbled and carried bloodstains, it seemed he couldn’t hold on much longer.
“Hehe! A poor person.”
Old Devil Dugu remembered his own deceased daughter and empathized.
A trace of sadness flooded Qin Li’s heart, “We owe Wei Jinshui a favor, after we go out, we will definitely repay it.”
Old Devil Dugu nodded, “Let’s just finish deducing this formation, this seems to be an improved version of the ‘Evil-Preventing and Wind-Setting Formation’, it can temporarily suppress the lightning fire of the Shade Ridge and find the core formation eye for us!”
The two began to study it.
Old Devil Dugu served as the main thrusting force.
Qin Li watched and learned while carefully carving the formation patterns.
Time rushed by!
Almost another ten or so days passed.
“The first day has arrived!”Qin Li sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
In the dantian, the charred black shattered wood trembled slightly, spewing out an invisible force, transmitting a Great Dao flavor that nourished the flesh.
Qin Li seems to have eaten the Ten Perfect Mending Pills, his blood qi surges, his organs glow, his bones become more and more dense, the pores of his entire body are overflowing with light and haze, and a green smoke too rises from his heavenly soul cap, coalescing and not dispersing.
“Wheel of Heavenly Man!”
Suddenly.
Twelve zhang Heavenly Man’s Wheel manifested.
The golden wheel slowly rotated, reflecting the images of swords and knives, resembling a torrent.
Qin Li was attempting to make a breakthrough, wanting to practice air to become Yuan and reach the second level of Celestial Man. The golden disk rotates at high speed, compressed layer by layer to the bottom, the air condensed to the extreme, condensed a few drops of true essence, has more real characteristics.
However, in the end, the latter was not enough, and the true essence collapsed and turned into true air.
“Obviously just half a foot short of the threshold!”
Qin Li sighed.
Old Devil Dokuro urged:
“Don’t stare, go carve the formation.”
Qin Li tidied up his mood, took out a carving knife, and sealed the array pattern.
After ten days of hard work, the formation was perfected to a tee, and it wouldn’t be long before he was able to leave this haunted place.
Suddenly!
In the midst of the black mist.
A familiar voice came.
“Junior brother Qin, I’m Jiang Su, how have you been!”
Qin Li raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, “What else do you want to say after all this?”
Jiang Su sighs, “Junior brother Qin, I really like you, and even more so, I don’t want to hurt you. The village chief and the others have already left, so you can travel all the way south and leave the Shade Ridge forever, and don’t come back.”
The lone old devil said faintly, “What a childish lie, living spirits and dead spirits are inherently opposing existences, how could they like each other and help each other. I’d rather believe that the Devil Race has gone from good to evil, than believe that the dead spirits extend a helping hand.”
Qin Li couldn’t say anything else and continued to carve the formation pattern.
One day later.
The Evil-Resisting Wind Stabilizing Formation was completed.
“Put in the yuan stones and just activate the formation.”Old Devil Dokuro said.
Qin Li nodded and threw in high grade Yuan Stones worth 100,000 to activate the formation.
Immediately, the Yuan Stone shattered and the aura pooled into the formation, flowing through the complicated trajectory of the formation pattern and transforming into a thick Evil-Proofing Golden Thunder that shot up into the sky.
Looking from afar, it was like a golden needle inserted in the Shade Ridge, obstructing the flow of Feng Shui and affecting the flow of Yin Qi, as if it was a sea pin, causing the bizarre Shade Ridge to fall into calm, and the black fog all dissipated a lot.
“So you all didn’t leave!”
Qin Li swept around to see the dozens of Necrotic Villagers around him.
Jiang Su had a shocked look on her face, and the village chief was shocked beyond belief, “You patched up the formation, could it be that you’re also a Heaven Sealing Master.”
“Pretty much!”
Qin Li smiled and looked around.
Through Wei Jinshui’s research, the pattern of the Yin Shading Ridge was a gigantic Feng Shui Taiji, the Ye Cao Village was only a yin eye, while the true treasure was within the yang eye, that was the core formation eye.
“Where is it!”
Qin Li saw a yellow soil hillside.
The surrounding area was gray and meditative, but that place was the only one that was yellow and definitely different.
“Northern Underworld Ice Spear!”Qin Li condensed an Ice Spear while using his second divine ability, and after burning down many times, he had gained some insight. There was actually no need to explode them all, that would be too much of a waste, they could be burned as needed.
“Swallow Underworld Demon Wind!”
Seeing the situation, the village chief urged his divine ability.
However, unexpectedly, his divine ability was hindered and he was unable to catalyze it at full strength.
“Not good, the environment of the Yin Shading Ridge is suppressed, I can’t mobilize the might of heaven and earth!”The village chief paused, leaking out a crack.
“Golden Spirit Void Lightning Flash!”Qin Li took this opportunity to kill out of the guarding range of the Evil Expelling Formation, the entire person was like a golden light, holding a snatch to pick and kill that old woman with only three teeth, killing his way into a path of life.
“Quickly go after him, never let him get close to the Yang Eye!”
The village chief was alarmed and fought to pounce.
“You don’t have a chance!”
Qin Li laughed morosely and drew out his Leyue Sword.
The Lie Lieu, referring to the state of thunder cutting through the dark clouds, was a thunder sword.
As the sword slashed down, vast thunder light erupted out, rigid and righteous, good thing thunder dragon roaring the nine heavens, truly the nemesis of the Yin and Underworld Death Spirits.
“Darn it, it’s Wei Jinshui’s Liege Sword!”The village headman’s eyes showed shock, not daring to face the Yang Thunder directly in the slightest, and the remaining dozens of villagers even dared not approach, giving Qin Li great time to escape.
“You guys lost!”
Qin Li landed on the earthen slope, calm and self-assured.
Beneath his feet was the Yang Eye, a kind of demonic evil that didn’t dare to enter and could only stare dryly.
This place was also less than that, just a piece of flat land, erecting a short slope, the ground was extremely dry and the air was filled with hot breath.
It is this kind of harsh environment, the top of the slope grows a rare treasure medicine, is a small tree, half a person high, branches and trunks agate-like crystal, the leaves show a reddish red, ovate, but also with golden veins.
The most marvelous thing is that the onyx small tree grows a precious fruit, just the size of a dragon’s eye, a good thing ruby polished, which actually has the appearance of a baby, as if sleeping in the mother’s womb, with a natural and quiet flavor, but also exudes a fragrance of fragrant medicine, refreshing and relaxing.
“You kid is blessed!”
Old Devil Dugu laughed out loud, “This is the Human Yuan Fruit, a rare ancient medicine, a natural great elixir, if you take it and immediately advance to the second level of Celestials, I will also be able to share a little bit of the medicinal power to nourish the divine soul.”
“There’s also this kind of benefit.”Qin Li was pleasantly surprised and was about to take the medicine.
“Stop!”
The village chief shouted in terror.
These evil spirits didn’t dare to come in and could only shiver outside.
“Qin Li, let’s talk things over, as long as you give up the Human Yuan Fruit, we swear by the heavens that we are willing to send you away safely, if we violate it, then the heavens will strike us with five thunderbolts!”The village chief had a dignified face.
Old Devil Dokuro explained, “If you pick the fruit, you’ll destroy the Yin-Yang balance of the Yin Shading Ridge. This side of the weird little world will be exposed to the big heaven and earth, and there will no longer be any semblance of divinity. Without shelter, this group of dead spirits will naturally perish, so ten thousand airs.”
“Junior Brother Qin!”Jiang Su was still wearing the same set of red wedding clothes, and begged bitterly, “Please let us go, we just want to live quietly in the Shade Ridge forever, without any competition from the world.”
Old Devil Dugu sneered, “Don’t listen to their nonsense, Mysterious Excess Heaven and Earth is like pus, if you don’t go and squeeze out the pus, it will grow bigger and bigger. Besides, living spirits and dead spirits are enemies, they must be removed when they see them.”
“Sister Jiang, I’m sorry!”
Qin Li plucked the Human Yuan Fruit, and the fruit tree instantly withered into ash.
Although he felt some pity in his heart, he was ultimately in a different position, and as a living spirit, he shouldn’t help a dead spirit.
It was such a small move, as if removing a grain of sand from a sand tower, creating a chain reaction that led to a full-scale collapse of the formation. The black fog, which had been gathering and not dispersing, finally dissipated, and the Shade Ridge saw the clouds and ushered in the long-lost sunlight.
At the same time, heaven and earth also sensed the existence of the dead spirits, erupting earth fires and descending waves of thunder, in order to wear out this group of evil spirits. And the more violently they struggled, the more Yang Thunder they attracted, exactly the same as Qin Li’s situation, only with the yin and yang switched.
In the end!
Dozens of villagers were reduced to flying ash.
Qin Li picked up the ginger character green jade on the ground, slightly despondent in his heart.
He wasn’t a heartless person after all, and was somewhat touched and helpless by Jiang Su’s death, so he could only silently put away the green jade.
“I should also advance to the second level of Celestials!”
