Chapter 31: Phantom Array
The warm sun is shining, and the warm sunlight spills into the house through the thatch, forming a series of fine spots of light, which is very beautiful.
In the thatched hut, Zhou Shu's hands were soaked in the medicinal liquid, his eyes were slightly closed, his resolute face was facing the sun, and he exhaled a long breath from time to time, looking pleasant.
More than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and he had already broken through and reached the second layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
It is not a matter of pride to embark on the road of cultivating immortals for a year to have such achievements, but it is not easy to persist in going through all kinds of tribulations in the middle, which also makes him cherish it very much.
On the second layer of the Qi Refining Realm, the sea of qi expanded slightly, and the spiritual power that could be contained increased by more than two times, while most cultivators could only increase it by more than one time at most.
Zhou Shu, who was full of qi veins, obviously had a unique advantage in the early stage of cultivating immortals, but this was not of much use, and now his spiritual power accumulation was still not as good as a normal first-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm.
Only by repairing the qi veins and qi sea can these advantages be truly reflected.
But he really doesn't know when that day will come, but he knows that only by constantly forging ahead will he usher in the opportunity to truly become a winner.
After finishing his cultivation, he raised his hands that were as white as jade, slowly sat back on the futon, and began to deduce what he had to do every day.
He had studied, compared to the Thunderstorm Talisman, the rune patterns were relatively much more complicated, and thousands of lines were tangled together, and ordinary cultivators were afraid that they would not be able to see clearly, let alone use spiritual power to guide them one by one.
But under his deduction and calculations, these are nothing, and yesterday he completely sorted them out, and he was very careful to draw them.
Compared with the complexity of the runes, the rune ink is much simpler, and there is no need for special configuration, only fresh spiritual spring water is needed to complete it.
"The spa talisman is really wonderful, using the talisman, you can completely release the spiritual power of the water in the spiritual spring water, and play a healing role, you can do this, the ancestor of the Yan family is really capable. ”
After secretly praising two sentences, Zhou Shu considered the issue of Lingquan.
The spiritual spring is unique to the world of cultivating immortals, when the underground waterway passes through the underground spiritual vein, the water absorbs the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein, and forms a spring after gushing up to the ground, mostly in the jungle at the foot of the mountain, it is called the spiritual spring.
The spiritual spring is a very practical and easily available resource for cultivators, such as planting, refining tools, alchemy, talisman making, and so on.
According to the size of the spiritual energy contained, the spiritual spring is also divided into many levels, similar to the spiritual vein, from the first order to the ninth order, layer by layer.
The ninth-order spiritual spring, one drink becomes an immortal.
There are such words circulating in the immortal cultivation world, this is mostly nonsense, if the immortals are so good, the world is already full of immortals, not to mention the ninth-order spiritual spring, no one in the immortal cultivation world has never seen it, it only exists in legends.
Most sects have spiritual veins, and naturally there are spiritual springs, it is said that in the Qingyuan Mountain Range, the Sixi Sect has a fourth-order spiritual spring, the surrounding water vapor is permeated, the spiritual energy is full, and there are cultivators who sit and realize the Tao, and are cited as a holy place by the sect.
Qingxiafang City is located in the downtown area, there is no spiritual spring, but there are a lot of around, the nearest is only fifty miles. There was a first-order spiritual spring there, which belonged to the family village, and most cultivators only needed to hand in a few spirit stones to buy a small bucket.
"Gotta go out. ”
If you need rune ink, you can find it in the market, but the spiritual spring water must be fresh and freshly absorbed, and if it is placed for a long time, the spiritual spring water is easy to lose its aura, and the talisman made will have no effect.
Just do it when you think of it, Zhou Shu prepared for a while, and then went out.
Fifty miles of flat road, using the magic talisman, that is, half an hour's work.
As soon as I left Fang City, I heard someone shouting behind me, "Senior brother, senior brother, wait." ”
Zhou Shu turned around and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old cultivator standing by the gate of the Fang Market, waving at him incessantly. The cultivator was born very handsome, not inferior to a woman, dressed in gray, without any sect marks on his body, and looked like a loose cultivator.
"What?"
The cultivator arched his hand and said quite respectfully, "Junior Brother You Jing, I have seen Senior Brother, may I ask Senior Brother if he is going to go to the spiritual spring in Yujiazhuang to get water when he goes out from here?"
Zhou Shu bowed slightly.
Looking at You Jing's appearance, he has just cultivated immortals, and his cultivation is a few points lower than him, and there is no danger.
You Jing showed a lot of joy on his face, and he hurriedly ran over, "Can the junior brother go with the senior brother?"
Zhou Shu looked at him a few times and didn't speak.
You Jing hurriedly explained, "The junior brother is the apprentice of the hundred workshops in the Fang City, and today it is the turn of the younger brother to go to the spiritual spring to draw water for the refining tools in the workshop, but ...... Senior brother, you know, the surrounding area of Fang City has been really uneven recently, and the younger brother doesn't dare to go out alone. When I saw my senior brother going out from here, I wanted to be with my senior brother, and I was so brave. ”
Zhou Shu looked at his expression, and there was no pretense, nodded and said, "It's okay, but you have to keep up with yourself, I won't wait for you." ”
He knew what You Jing was worried about, but the road to fetch water had always been crowded with people, and it was noon again, even if someone wanted to catch Sanxiu, they would not choose to do it here, it was too easy to be discovered.
"Thank you, senior brother, it's okay, junior brother can keep up. ”
You Jing approached happily, holding a talisman in his hand, "The junior brother specially asked the owner for a wind talisman, it should be no problem." ”
Zhou Shu's face turned pale, "Then let's go." ”
Compared with the commonly used Shenxing Talisman, the Wind Talisman has a better effect of increasing speed, although this You Jing has a low cultivation, but with the Wind Talisman, the speed can also keep up.
Running all the way.
"Senior Brother Zhou, have you heard, those missing scattered cultivators have been refined into ashes by demons, and there are not even a few bones left, no wonder you can't find anything......"
"You said we wouldn't meet those demons, I heard that they all have three heads and six arms, and they are fierce and vicious......
"Alas, Senior Brother Zhang was going to ......"
"Stop. ”
Zhou Shu glanced at You Jing, and You Jing hurriedly stopped the nagging that didn't stop all the way.
Zhou Shu stopped and looked around vigilantly, "That's not right." ”
You Jing touched his head, showing a confused look, "What's wrong, it's this road, I have walked with my senior brother a few times." ”
The sun was shining, the avenue was facing the sky, and it was no different from the previous walk, except that there was no one to see, there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
"There were still pedestrians passing by in the first quarter of an hour, but we didn't see a single person in the dozens of breaths. ”
Zhou Shu pondered for a while, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart, "Could it be that he has fallen into the phantom array?"
Qi Refining Realm cultivators are unable to release their divine sense, and it is difficult to detect the existence of the phantom array, and they often fall into the phantom array without knowing it, and they don't know how to die.
"What, Phantom Array?"
You Jing's face turned pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Zhou Shu thought about it, took out a thunderstorm talisman and threw it at the thatch on the side of the road.
Bang Bang Bang!
The thunder burst and the thatch was struck by the lightning, but there was no reaction, not even the slightest sign of scorching.
But I vaguely saw a burst of fog, gradually emerging from the thunder.
There is no doubt that they must have fallen into the phantom array, they are in the array, they are no longer on the original road, they don't know where they are, but there is mostly water around them.
"Retreat!"
Zhou Shu made up his mind, his body retreated sharply, and You Jing was not slow, and followed closely behind Zhou Shu.
