Long Xiangtian quickly cleaned up the place, made himself a pot of tea, and sat quietly in this deserted but beautiful place. The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth would automatically wrap around Long Xiangtian's body even without Long Xiangtian actively practicing his Guwu Heart Sutra, and then be absorbed into his Dantian. It can be said that this is a place where one can improve his realm even when sleeping.
Now Long Xiangtian sat down and thought carefully. The period when his realm grew most rapidly was when he and Yunniang depended on each other in this inner world.
Although he was only away for about a day, Long Xiangtian felt like a long time had passed. This was the aftereffect of the unequal flow of time in the two worlds. Just like jet lag, it takes time for people to adapt.
After a brief sigh, Long Xiangtian plunged into Zhuge Hai's alchemy room again. Although time passed faster than outside, it was still his own time that was consumed. If your lifespan was only about a hundred years, then you had consumed twenty years in the inner world. Although only a few years had passed outside, when you came out of the inner world, you would only have eighty years left.
Therefore, Long Xiangtian did not want to waste even a minute. When fighting with the man in black, he observed how Cui Chen used the Bagua Formation. This was a great inspiration to Long Xiangtian, who was familiar with the theoretical knowledge in Zhuge Hai's booklet but only had a superficial understanding of it.
Immersed in the research of elixirs, Long Xiangtian did not pay attention to the time around him. When he looked up, it was already evening. Long Xiangtian couldn't help but sigh that time passed particularly quickly.
After washing up, Long Xiangtian took a short rest and planned to continue the next day. However, just as he lay down on the bed, Du Ruo, who had just followed Long Xiangtian into this other world, suddenly lit up. The golden light instantly enveloped Long Xiangtian completely, and then a teleportation formation appeared out of thin air, passing through Long Xiangtian's entire body and teleporting her back to the original world.
"What's going on here?"
Long Xiangtian, who had returned to his original world, was bewildered. What was going on? He had not summoned Du Ruo to activate the teleportation formation, so how could he be teleported out of nowhere? After confirming that the situation just now was not unconscious, Long Xiangtian summoned Du Ruo out again.
He poured his true energy into it again, but this time, no matter how hard Long Xiangtian tried, Du Ruo only received it and did not emerge from the formation. At this time, Long Xiangtian suddenly realized that he must have been restricted by something in this formation.
It seems that there are some limitations in Du Ruo's teleportation formation that I don't understand or know. Since it doesn't work now, I can only wait until I have time in the future and try it slowly.
Although only a few minutes had passed outside, Long Xiangtian had spent a whole day in Du Ruo's inner world studying formations. In addition, when he just came out of the inner world, he had a big fight with the man in black. Although it didn't take much effort, it still made Long Xiangtian feel tired.
It happened to be night time, so Long Xiangtian simply turned off the light in his room and climbed onto the bed to rest.
After working hard for several days, all the disciples who participated in the Pill Grabbing Conference fell into a deep sleep, while some of the elders of the major families were holding emergency meetings, while others were celebrating their survival.
Deep inside the inner gate of the Alchemist Sect, there is a steep attic built against the hillside. The mahogany pillars used for support require two adults to hold together. Although the attic is not very high, there are four sacred beasts carved on the four edges of the cliffs on each floor.
There was a piece of open space under his feet that protruded outwards. At this moment, it was also modified by someone in a way that was ingenious. A pool was dug out on the open space. Although it was not very deep, it was large enough. In this pool, there were not only decorative items such as rockery, but also some lotus flowers and koi fish.
The inside of the pool is formed into a natural formation through these small decorations and the living creatures kept inside. It has been arranged by a master, and the placement of each position is very particular. If the position of one place is wrong, then this natural formation used to gather spiritual energy will become ineffective.
In fact, these are nothing. As long as the funds are in place, it can definitely be built with the existing human technology. The most critical point is that in the dark of this attic, there are two people hiding. They are guarding the attic and both sides of the pool, one on the left and one on the right.
From the aura they exude, it can be felt that they are two human-level grandmasters. One must know that human-level grandmasters can be treated as guests of honor in ordinary aristocratic families, but now in this place, they have been reduced to mere security guards who guard the gate. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they seem to be quite honored.
Adding all these things together, it's easy to get a feel for how high-profile the person who can live in this place is.
The interior of the attic was brightly lit at this time. An old man with half-closed eyes was sitting on a mahogany chair in the middle. On his right hand side was a cup of spiritual tea that the maid had just brewed and brought to him. White smoke was slowly floating upwards through the half-open cup lid.
However, judging from the position of the tea, the old man did not drink a single sip of it after it was placed on the table. He just sat quietly on the chair, saying nothing, and making no other movements, unless it was his slightly rising and falling chest and his eyes that occasionally rolled around.
The people standing on both sides of him with their hands behind their backs would think he was asleep. But even so, no one present dared to talk or move around casually. Everyone stood there quietly like this old man, and the atmosphere at the scene was very subtle.
Although the tea was untouched, there was always a maid walking behind him to refill the old man's tea. Apart from her, the place was dead silent.
After a long time, a figure pushed the door open and came in. All eyes except the old man fell on him. However, this person was not afraid at all or did not care about the situation at all. He walked straight through everyone present and walked straight to the old man's ear. He bent down and whispered in his ear.
"Fifth Elder, Senior Brother Gao Yue is here."
After hearing these words, the old man opened his eyes which had been tightly closed, and slowly squeezed out a "hmm" from his throat, as a response to the person who came in to report, indicating that he knew about the matter.
The man continued to speak in the ear of the five elders.
