Chapter 353 – Breaking the Formation at the Bottom of the Lake
Chapter 353 – Breaking the formation at the bottom of the lake
Xu Chuniang remembered the square, the transparent ball of light that had been destroyed, and inexplicably felt funny.
She took out a blank jade slip again, organizing the insights of the formation dao in the past few years.
“It’s really hard to read, it always feels like these two are secretive, like they’re hiding something from us.”
After Fu Yunsan transmitted her voice, she reacted to the fact that she had actually taken the initiative to talk to Xu Chuniang, and was somewhat chagrined.
Obviously, she had planned to ignore her all the way! She hadn’t forgotten that Xu Chuniang was at odds with her own senior brother.
She had followed these people with bated breath in order to observe her from a close distance.
Of course, the fact that the daily life of sitting and refining pills in the sect was too boring was also one of the reasons.
Fu Yunsan tried to focus her attention on the medical book in front of her, not looking at the rest.
Kong Huan was without his Spirit Fighting Chess, and finally settled down, holding a sword book and reading it furiously.
When he encounters something he doesn’t know, he happens to have Zhuge Yun as a free senior brother, “Senior brother, what does this passage mean?”
Zhuge Yun took the sword book, his finger picked a corner with disgust, and landed on top of the passage.
This senior brother was really stupid, he somewhat regretted minding his business.
“I don’t know.”
“Alright, then I’ll ask Senior Sister Fu and Senior Sister Xu, they have high cultivation levels, so they might know.”
“Wait!”
Zhuge Yun’s forehead veins slightly throbbed, “They aren’t sword cultivators, how can they read, I’ll teach you.”
“Oh, senior brother is so nice!”
Kong Huan stifled his laughter and nodded fervently.
His master was unreliable and was always unreachable on weekdays.
It was great to have a senior brother who could preach and solve problems for him at any time!
Zhuge Yun was forced to play the role of a good senior brother all the way, and by the end of the day he was already regretting it.
Why did he have to mind his own business, isn’t it good to let him go and get cheated by the female cultivator.
Well, after ten days, the shuttle finally arrived at its destination, Zhuge Yun put the shuttle away with a black face.
He swore that when he went back, he would shut down and never come out of the gate until he had finished his dan.
Xu Chuniang swept over the endless calm lake in front of her, and took out the jade sketch given by Kong Huan and compared it.
“The place marked on this seems to be in the middle of the lake?”
The remaining few people checked and realized that it was indeed so.
Kong Huan proposed, “Why don’t a few senior brothers and sisters wait here, and I’ll go explore earlier?”
With his master’s virtue, what was thrown at him was bound to be something he couldn’t see for himself.
Underneath this lake, nine times out of ten, it was the cave of whichever Foundation Establishment loose cultivator.
“Of the four of us, you’re the one with the lowest cultivation, how can we let you risk it alone? This lake looks calm, but it’s extremely wide, it’s hard to guarantee that there are no demonic beasts lurking in it.”
Fu Yun Shan shook her head disapprovingly, “If you want to go, go together.”
Kong Huan had no choice but to pinch a Water Avoidance Technique and took the first step into the lake.
Zhuge Yun did have a water avoidance bead, the water avoidance bead was much stronger than the water avoidance trick, and there was no need to use up spiritual qi.
The four of them went into the water and swam towards the place recorded in the jade brief, diving deeper and deeper.
After diving for half an hour, they reached the bottom of the lake.
Kong Huan couldn’t help but stagger, “This lake is also too deep.”
He was about to explore it in detail with his divine sense when he saw Senior Sister Xu looking towards a direction, “There seems to be aura fluctuations there.”
Among the four, Xu Chuniang had the strongest divine sense, and thus was the first to notice the anomaly. “Go over and take a look.”
Zhuge Yun said, and walked over towards that place, a turquoise colored longsword, which was held in his hand at some point.
Xu Chuniang took out her white pole gun, and Kong Huan also took out his black sword with a cautious expression.
Fu Yunsan was empty-handed, her face implied anticipation.
Because of her special cultivation technique, the number of times she had gone out to practice was only a handful of times.
Like this adventure at the bottom of the lake, it was the first time.
The four of them cautiously approached and realized that the aura fluctuation was coming from a water avoidance formation.
Xu Chuniang, as the only formation master present, took on the task of breaking the formation.
“The cave should be underneath this formation. If we break the formation violently, the lake water will pour into the cave below, drowning everything. It’s not difficult to break the formation, but it will take a bit of time to refine the formation talisman.”
After checking out the formation, she informed the other three of this conclusion.
Although it was the first time she had seen the Water Avoidance Formation, it was only level two and wasn’t difficult to solve.
Kong Huan waved her hand, “It’s alright, Senior Sister Xu you solve the formation, we’ll escort you.”
It wasn’t like they were in a hurry at the moment, it was naturally better if they could enter without damaging the formation.
Xu Chuniang nodded her head slightly, her divine sense fell within the entire formation, and began to extract the silk to crack it.
After about half a day, she opened her eyes again, a turquoise-colored formation talisman appearing in her hand.
“Success!”
“Senior Sister Xu is worthy of being Peak Master Yue’s disciple, refining a formation talisman capable of unraveling formations so quickly.”
Kong Huan was happy first, and after glancing at Xu Chuniang’s slightly white complexion, he advised, “Senior Sister Xu has used up a lot of aura and spirit this time, why don’t you wait to recover before going in.”
Xu Chuniang was planning to do just that, and nodded at his words, drinking the spirit wine and starting to meditate to recover.
Zhuge Yun threw a futon towards her, “Use this, it will speed up the recovery of your divine sense.”
Kong Huan couldn’t help but see a light in his eyes, a futon woven from Poria grass, a good thing to calm and nourish the mind!
He turned his head to Zhuge Yun, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, “Senior brother, this futon is very pretty, give me one.”
Zhuge Yun was going to be pissed off, he thought that the third grade Porizhi grass was a weed that could be found everywhere, and opened his mouth to ask for it.
Even he himself only has this one, or it was hard to get.
“No, it’s just this one, just lending it to senior sister Xu.”
Fu Yunshan hesitated, and finally took out a rounded ink jade, stepping forward and carefully placing it in front of Xu Chuniang’s body.
“I borrowed it from you because I was afraid you’d delayed the hour, don’t think too much!”
After whispering these words, her face reddened as she anxiously retreated.
Xu Chuniang smiled, “I know, thank you senior sister, I’ll return it to you after using it.”
It was true that those like her, who had only been in the Foundation Establishment for a short while, couldn’t compare to those like them who had stepped into the Foundation Establishment realm for several decades when it came to their heritage and accumulation.
When she had the opportunity, she would also have to collect some similar spiritual objects.
With the futon woven by Poria grass and the ink jade borrowed by Fu Yunshan, Xu Chuniang used only an hour to restore her condition to its best.
She returned the futon and the ink jade to their original owners, and incidentally took out two jugs of spirit wine and handed them to the two of them, “Some spirit wine that I thought of brewing in my spare time, it can restore my spiritual qi.”
Zhuge Yun had long coveted this spirit wine, especially after Kong Huan obtained it, and bragged about it in front of him several times.
He hadn’t mentioned it for the sake of face, but now that he saw that Senior Sister Xu had finally gotten on board, he was quite pleased to receive the spirit wine over.
Fu Yun Shan looked at the spirit wine handed over in front of her with some dissatisfaction, ”Who wants your stuff! I’m only lending you something because I see that you’ve spent a lot of effort on solving the formation.”
She was a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could she be bribed by a little spirit wine?
