Chapter 143 Building a Cage
Qin Chengcheng and Chen Yi spent about a day studying the material in a corner.
Most of the time, Qin Chengcheng was following Chen Yi's train of thought, helping Chen Yi design how to arrange the formation.
With Chen Yi's mastery of formations, he will quickly grasp Qin Chengcheng's guidance and the methods of setting up formations.
Even later on, the two were still able to continue thinking and researching based on the established basic ideas for the formation.
But in the second half,
Chen Yi was mostly explaining the application and variations of the lightning-resistant magnetic array.
He explained the principles of the Heavenly Gang Formation with thirty-six Thunder Spirit Scripts using a method that deepened the understanding of Thunder Crystals.
This made Qin Chengcheng suddenly understand.
Because what Chen Yi said was remarkably similar to the method Qiu Li taught her to enter the third level!
Furthermore, Chen Yi's explanation of lightning spiritual power was even clearer; his lightning crystal demonstration had already turned theory into practice.
This benefited Qin Chengcheng greatly.
"Fairy Qin, these secrets about the formation of lightning crystals are very important to this Inheritance Hall. Fairy, you can comprehend them yourself, but do not pass them on to others."
In addition, while the fairy was studying other thunder lions and learning new stone tablet traditions,
You could also focus your research in this direction and see if you can find anything useful.
"OK."
Qin Chengcheng nodded obediently, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Yi, and she transmitted her voice:
"Actually, with your talent, if you were to fight the Thunder Lion or challenge the inheritances on those stone tablets, you might not lose to Sister Qiu."
Why aren't you going?
Chen Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's just that we have different ambitions. Look at Qiu Li, he's so strong, yet it still took him more than ten days to defeat a Thunder Lion."
"With this time, there are so many things I could do!"
After gaining some insights from his research, Chen Yi prepared to begin setting up the formation.
On the other side, Leng Jianfei was nearing his limit and finally came up with a way to break the deadlock:
"Xu Jiu. We are all the pride of Qi, and we should be united as one. It is not up to you to decide how to help everyone enter and exit the third level and how much to charge."
You are not fit to be the head of the pride of Qi.
"Oh?" Chen Yi showed a hint of interest upon hearing this. It seemed that Leng Jianfei knew he couldn't win on his own, so he resorted to threatening him with his superior power.
"Then tell me, how should I set the price, and whose opinion should I follow?"
"Of course we should listen to Fairy Qin!"
"Fairy Qin possesses the highest cultivation and the greatest comprehension. She now represents the pride of our Qi Kingdom, standing at the forefront. Whatever Fairy Qin says, so be it!"
Leng Jianqi exuded a righteous and awe-inspiring aura.
However, Qin Chengcheng didn't give him a friendly look, staring directly at Chen Yi and saying:
"Xu Jiu's pricing is reasonable, I support it."
I support him representing the top talents of the Qi Kingdom's cultivation world. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Xu Jiu is the number one cultivation prodigy in Qi Kingdom.
In short, I can't compare to him.
Well.
Leng Jianfei's attempt to flatter the horse backfired spectacularly, landing on the horse's hooves instead.
He hadn't expected Qin Chengcheng and Xu Jiu to be so close, that Qin Chengcheng would blatantly lie in this situation.
Even if he is a body cultivator and a strongman, he can't be called the number one genius, right?
How can a mediocre Body Refining cultivator compare to the Golden Core Dao?
Having been rebuffed by Qin Chengcheng, he turned to look at Ning Bu'er.
Ning Bu'er, being a beauty of the same level, is now considered the first true cultivator from the Qi Kingdom to enter the third level.
Their strength is evident to all.
"Fairy Ning, you are the first prodigy in Qi Kingdom to enter the third level based on your own strength."
You should be the judge and take charge of the situation!
Surely we, the pride of Qi Kingdom, cannot be outmaneuvered by a cowardly body cultivator hiding in the back?
He actually charges such an expensive protection fee just to enter and exit the third level, and he even forces people to swear not to make things difficult for him. Isn't this the behavior of an evil cultivator?
"Fairy Ning, tell me, does he still have any sense of justice?!"
Seeing that things weren't going well with Qin Chengcheng, Leng Jianfei turned to look at Ning Bu'er.
Ning Bu'er had already entered the first inheritance stele to comprehend the inheritance.
He came in with the young monk, and his strength was indeed evident to all.
Moreover, his master vouched for his demonic cultivation lineage, which meant he was temporarily accepted by the righteous path.
At this point, it would be appropriate for her to preside over justice.
But what Leng Jianfei never expected was...
Upon hearing this, Ning Bu'er merely glanced back at Leng Jianfei, then said in a cool tone:
"My strength is far from being the best among the geniuses of Qi, at least not as good as Xu Jiu."
I agree with Xu Jiu's pricing rules. His willingness to step forward and escort you in and out of the third level demonstrates his responsibility as a cultivator from the Qi Kingdom and a disciple of the Jade Dragon Sect.
No one can insult you by talking behind your back like a petty person!
If Xu Jiu were willing to step forward and lead us Qi cultivators through the nine trials of the third level, that would be even better.
Of course, Fellow Daoist Xu Jiu is just making some preparations right now, and I trust him.
Finally, Fellow Daoist Leng, I'd like to offer you a friendly reminder: don't provoke Xu Jiu, hmph!
Ning Bu'er's voice was clear and cold, carrying a kind of witch's arrogance. After speaking, she turned back to continue studying the stone tablet.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
Leng Jianfei was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on? It's one thing for Qin Chengcheng to speak up for Xu Jiu, since they were originally together...
But what's wrong with you, Ning Bu'er? Aren't you supposed to be aloof and unparalleled? Weren't you the first Qi Kingdom cultivator to enter the third level?
Don't you have a powerful lineage of demonic cultivation? Why are you praising Xu Jiu like this?
This is ridiculous.
The young monk Linghui smiled inwardly. He knew best that the reason Benefactor Ning treated Xu Jiu this way was because Xu Jiu's strength was a counter to hers.
The little monk even guessed that Ning Bu'er might need Xu Jiu's help with something, which was why he was acting this way.
In this scene, when Ning Bu'er finished speaking,
The two female cultivators reacted the most strongly.
Qiu Li and Qin Chengcheng
The two women initially didn't think anything of it, but after hearing Ning Bu'er's words, they both turned to look at him.
Two pairs of eyes were fixed intently on Ning Bu'er's stunningly beautiful face.
Then he looked at Chen Yi's face, scanning him back and forth repeatedly.
It seemed they were trying to find some kind of secret on the faces of the two people.
"Chengcheng, something's not right. Why is this woman praising your lover so highly? It's just like a low-level female disciple idolizing a high-level male cultivator."
This fox spirit has the appearance of a cold beauty; there's definitely something going on between them!
Qiu Li secretly transmitted her analysis to Qin Chengcheng.
She was originally very busy, preparing to focus on analyzing Lei Shizi's situation and preparing for the challenge, but given the current situation, especially since it involved the emotional issues of her closest friend,
We immediately devoted our energy to the research.
Qin Chengcheng was also somewhat puzzled upon hearing this:
"No way, Sister Qiu. Chen Yi isn't that kind of person. He fought Ning Bu'er once in this secret realm at the ice pool. Logically, they should be enemies."
Given his low profile, he shouldn't have any romantic entanglements with the other party, right?
Moreover, Chen Yi entered as this bald strongman, while Ning Bu'er is a true genius fairy, so why would she take a liking to him?
There must be some misunderstanding here.
In the end, Qin Chengcheng also became somewhat insecure.
"Hmph! Your lover is definitely doing something behind your back. He doesn't seem like an honest man. You'd better keep a close eye on him."
"Oh dear, sister, what are you saying? It's not even close to happening yet."
Besides, even I am not willing to agree, so others probably won't have a chance either, right?
Qin Chengcheng looked at Chen Yi one last time.
Chen Yi was setting up the formation when he heard this. He gave a wry smile and clasped his hands in greeting.
"You two fairies flatter me. I am but a body cultivator, without virtue or ability, and dare not presume to lead you geniuses to open up the inheritance secret realm."
Of course, Xu agrees with one thing that Fairy Ning said.
As a cultivator from the Qi Kingdom and a disciple of the Jade Dragon Sect, Xu is still willing to do what he can for his fellow cultivators in this secret realm.
Currently, Xu's temporary recovery array is almost complete.
At that time, this place can serve as a temporary resting place for everyone to recover their magical powers and recuperate.
Or perhaps you're tired from battle, so coming here to brew some spiritual tea and drink some spiritual wine can help you relax and rejuvenate.
Cultivating immortality isn't just about fighting and killing.
Climbing to the summit is important, but don't forget to stop and rest, and enjoy the scenery along the way.
Chen Yi's words left the cultivators who were fighting desperately on the scene completely dumbfounded. We're fighting desperately, and you're lecturing us on Zen?
Upon hearing this, the young monk Linghui praised it highly:
"I deeply admire Benefactor Xu's lofty state of mind. I can only imagine what it would be like if, a hundred years from now, Benefactor Xu were to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage..."
With this mindset, one can easily overcome the tribulations of inner demons.
The tribulation of inner demons, there's another tribulation of inner demons?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi was startled. He thought to himself, "If I really reach the point of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, I will never attempt to transcend the tribulation until I find a way to overcome the inner demons!"
His words were merely a sentence he had seen in a past life; it would be incredibly foolish for him to consider himself a master of mental cultivation.
Just like these nine thunder lions before us,
After several days of observation and perception, Chen Yi
I'm over 90% confident I can clear the first three stages directly.
But the further he went, the less confident he became.
Therefore, Chen Yi decided to hide in the back and focus on cultivating, sensing the lightning field, and absorbing all the resources at hand.
It is advisable to wait until the probability of success is 98% or higher before making a move.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi recognized his own reality and once again clasped his hands in a humble manner, saying:
"Master Linghui is too kind to me. How could we juniors dare to aspire to the level of Nascent Soul?"
Being able to form a false core is already a stroke of good fortune for Xu. He doesn't even dare to dream of a true core, let alone a nascent soul.
Let's not talk about this again.
Linghui smiled and shook her head, not refuting, "The truth will be revealed in two hundred years."
Meanwhile, Chen Yi chatted and laughed with Ning Bu'er, Ling Hui, and the others, and gave them a heads-up, saying that there might be a small place for them to rest and recuperate later.
However, no one took Chen Yi's suggestion to heart.
A mere third-tier minefield—anyone who managed to get in on their own could easily protect themselves. As for those who got in with the help of Chen Yi and others…
They didn't even consider them worthy of their attention; they weren't on the same level. Even if they forced their way to the third level, they wouldn't gain any real understanding.
Leng Jianfei stared blankly at everything, unable to comprehend what was happening before him.
Finally, he had no choice but to go to Chen Yi.
"Xu Jiu, I swear on my Dao heart that I will not seek revenge on you after I leave. I will always be polite to the members of the Jade Dragon Sect and will never take the initiative to attack you."
"These are three drops of Earth Spirit Stone Milk, worth five thousand spirit stones. Escort me out."
With Qin Chengcheng and Ning Bu'er acknowledging Chen Yi's status one after another, Leng Jianfei finally succumbed to reality and bowed his head to Chen Yi.
Seeing that Leng Jianfei was no longer arrogant and hung his head like a defeated rooster, Chen Yi didn't make things difficult for him anymore.
After recording his oath with a recording stone, they accepted the Earth Spirit Stone Milk and escorted him out.
At the same time, Chen Yi also went to the second floor.
On the second floor, Leng Jianfei glanced at Chen Yi several times, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Finally, he stopped himself from saying the harsh words he wanted to say and left, feeling extremely frustrated.
He needed to return to his sect for help. Now that he knew about the third level of the trial, he would naturally have time to come back.
As a swordsman, he wasn't particularly skilled in defense, but when it came to fighting the Thunder Lion...
His attack power was among the best of the Qi Kingdom's most outstanding talents.
If he can find a way to comprehend sword intent in a short time, when he returns, he will definitely dazzle that bastard Xu Jiu.
Leng Jianfei, holding his breath, thought to himself,
Oh, and we also need to dazzle Qin Chengcheng and Ning Bu'er, making them abandon Xu Jiu and realize who is the most handsome and powerful prodigy sword cultivator.
And Qiu Li from Zhongzhou, we'll make her look at us in a new light!
After Leng Jianfei left, the entire second floor was deserted for a moment.
This is a rare opportunity.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Yi entered the Thunder Pool alone, his entire body flashing with thunder spirit runes.
Activate the power of the system.
It began to rapidly but gently absorb the power of the thunder spirit.
It rapidly replenishes the lightning crystals in its body.
Previously, he had used up all but 30 of the more than 150 lightning crystals in his body.
This had reached his bottom line for safety, and he didn't plan to use it again until he replenished his Thunder Crystals.
The second floor is now empty.
Chen Yi spent most of the day repeatedly absorbing energy in the Thunder Pool, finally replenishing his supply of over 150 Thunder Crystals.
Furthermore, as his understanding of the Thunder Spirit Runes deepened, the total amount of Thunder Crystals stored within his body also increased slightly.
Afterwards, Chen Yi returned to a corner on the third floor.
Now, with Qin Chengcheng's guidance, he has a preliminary idea for his magnetic lightning protection array.
However, the materials are still slightly lacking.
Chen Yi has only made a piece of equipment that resembles a large chicken coop so far.
This was made by disassembling his previous jar and adding some materials.
The main principle is to scatter the magnetic gold material inside into various corners of the iron cage, embedding some lightning crystal particles in a lightning spirit rune array.
A simple physical lightning rune array was formed.
Of course, in practice it is extremely complex, involving the control of energy, the setting up of spatial three-dimensional arrays, and the application of various materials, etc.
This was a preliminary, extremely ugly piece of equipment that he and Qin Chengcheng had spent more than a day researching and developing.
Of course, this also includes the knowledge of spatial three-dimensional arrays that Chen Yi has been studying for many years, ever since he helped Qin Chengcheng remove the restrictions on her soul.
Now, Chen Yi has crawled into an extremely ugly square metal cage, where he sits cross-legged.
From the outside, he didn't look like a cultivator at all; he looked just like a pitiful mongrel dog locked in a cage in a peasant village.
Any cultivator who glanced at it from the outside would have a look of disdain in their eyes.
Chen Yi didn't care about other people's opinions.
The next moment, a mist of spiritual energy appeared within the iron cage, gradually blocking everyone's gaze and divine sense.
Even the third-order divine senses possessed by many of the cultivators present could not penetrate it.
Some cultivators were slightly surprised; this was actually a combination of a third-tier shielding formation.
I underestimated that bald man. It seems that Xu Jiu, the strongman, is also quite accomplished in the art of formations.
Chen Yi, hiding inside the iron cage, confirmed that the formation was activated.
They began to take out the five elements resources, selecting those that could be consumed directly, preparing to refine them right here to improve their cultivation.
I'm begging for your minimum monthly votes at the beginning of the month!
