Yue Lingzheng glanced at all the disciples, paused for a moment on Xu Chunniang, and then spoke in a calm voice.
"The location of this five-sect competition is set to be the Miaodan Sect. Senior Brother Wu and I will lead you there. If you encounter any problems, you can directly report to us two."
After saying that, he took out a palm-sized flying boat.
The flying boat grew longer in the wind, and soon turned into a giant flying boat that was more than ten meters long, more than three meters wide, and two stories high.
Yue Lingzheng and Elder Wu were the first to step onto the flying boat, followed by ten foundation-building disciples.
"You can choose any room on the first floor of this flying boat. Elder Wu and I will be on the second floor. It will take three months to reach Miaodan Sect. During this period, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to us at any time."
After Yue Lingzheng finished explaining, he went up to the second floor with Elder Wu.
The remaining ten Foundation Establishment disciples began to choose their rooms.
Xu Chunniang was no exception. She walked to the stern of the boat and found a secluded room.
This boat was indeed built by a Jindan cultivator, it was extremely luxuriously equipped, and each room was equipped with an independent formation.
Although they are just some basic formations, they are enough to prevent others from spying.
Xu Chunniang took a quick glance and then retracted her gaze, releasing Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi from the spirit beast bag.
This time, Miaodan Sect will participate in the competition. Those who are selected are all geniuses in the sect. I think there will be several hard battles, so we need to plan carefully.
As for spiritual weapons, in addition to the three second-level spiritual weapons she already had, namely the small round shield, the blue-patterned tripod and the fire spear, her master gave her a seven-treasure spiritual armor before she left. It was a second-level top-grade armor with extraordinary defensive power.
In addition, the master also gave her a self-made second-level top-grade formation plate. When combined with different formation symbols, it can produce different effects, which can be said to be an integrated offense and defense.
In terms of magic, with the spiritual energy bombs she has learned in recent years, she has been able to release four kinds of energy simultaneously and send and receive them at will.
As for the water mist barrier, it can be set up at will in the blink of an eye.
But its specific effectiveness remains to be tested.
As for spiritual consciousness, since Xu Chunniang began to cultivate her spirit, both its strength and range have far surpassed those of other cultivators of the same period.
As for body building, after absorbing the other half of the one-yuan heavy water, her blood strength was further improved.
After putting on the Seven Treasures Spirit Armor, one can almost resist some less powerful spells.
The little orange who is at the third level of foundation building is her greatest support.
As for Xiaobai, his talent is treasure hunting, and his cultivation is limited to Qi training, so he can't be of much help in battle.
Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief, and after being stunned for a while, she took out a jade slip of formation and began to study it.
Over the past three years, she has spent most of her time studying formations, with astonishing results.
Not only can he master the first-level formation, but he can also refine a first-level formation plate.
However, three years is too short a time, and her current attainments in formations cannot play much of a role in the battle during the foundation-building period.
I can only make good use of this time on the flying boat and learn as much as I can.
Three months later.
The double-decker flying boat from Xiaoyao Sect successfully arrived at Miaodan Sect.
After a grand reception by the Jindan cultivators of Miaodan Sect, Deputy Sect Master Yue and Elder Wu, along with a group of disciples, entered the temporary courtyard allocated by Miaodan Sect.
Yue Lingzheng swept his spiritual sense over the disciples and spoke a few words in a calm manner.
"Most of you are away from the sect for the first time. I think you are very curious about the Miaodan Sect.
I won't restrict you, but I hope you remember that when you are out in the world, your every move represents the Xiaoyao Sect, so don't mess around."
"Disciple, please remember this."
Yue Lingzheng nodded slightly and walked towards the main courtyard.
After Elder Wu left, the remaining ten disciples began to discuss excitedly.
"I've heard that this disciple of Miaodan Sect is good at refining elixirs. Now that I'm lucky enough to be here, I must buy more elixirs."
"Haha, I had the same idea. Before leaving, I specially exchanged some spirit stones to buy some elixirs and spirit herbs unique to Miaodan Sect."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to Danxia Market and have a look. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to find some suitable elixirs and improve our cultivation before the official competition."
The geniuses from Xiaoyao Sect had already become familiar with each other during the three months on the flying boat. Now that they had some free time, they met in groups of three or four and headed towards Danxia Market.
Even Huangfu Tian went to the market, chatting and laughing with his good friends.
Soon, Xu Chunniang was the only one left there.
For the past three months, she has been staying indoors, studying the art of formations.
Although she stayed on the flying boat with many of her fellow disciples for three months, she did not make friends with other disciples and was somewhat isolated.
Xu Chunniang didn't care. After walking out of the courtyard, she found a disciple of Miao Dan. After asking where the Danxia market was, she headed towards the market.
Danxia Market is worthy of being a market under the jurisdiction of Miaodan Sect. There is a spiritual medicine shop every five steps and a pill pavilion every ten steps. The variety of elixirs and spiritual herbs is so diverse that it makes people dazzled.
Compared with the market town of Qingshan, it is many times more prosperous.
Before coming to Miaodan Sect, Xu Chunniang had never thought about exchanging spirit stones.
It was only after Huo Chunyan learned about this and reminded her that she exchanged some for her contribution points.
Walking on the street, she did not rush to buy elixirs. Instead, she looked at the special elixirs advertised by various stores one by one before stepping into a store called "Shengdan Pavilion".
Upon seeing a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage entering the store, the shopkeeper quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"This is a fellow Taoist from Xiaoyao Sect, right? Welcome to our store to choose. All the elixirs in our store are genuine and of fair price. We will not cheat anyone."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, "Do you have any anti-aging pills?"
Before leaving, Senior Sister Gan had asked her to help purchase some anti-aging pills after arriving at Miaodan Sect.
One should be loyal to the person who entrusted him with the task, not to mention that Senior Sister Gan had helped her refine a spiritual weapon. So after Xu Chunniang arrived at the Danxia Market, the first thing she asked about was the Rejuvenating Pill.
"Of course we have the Rejuvenating Pill. It just so happens that our store's alchemist refined a new batch of Rejuvenating Pills yesterday. We got a total of nine pills, eight of which have been bought, leaving only the last top-grade Rejuvenating Pill."
Only the last one
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. In addition to Senior Sister Gan, Huo Chunyan also asked her to help buy a rejuvenation pill, but one was not enough.
Forget it, I'll just buy this one first and look somewhere else later.
"How much is this anti-aging pill?"
The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "Top-grade anti-aging pills, priced at three thousand spirit stones."
Xu Chunniang nodded and was about to speak when a voice came from behind her.
"Three thousand spirit stones, I want this anti-aging pill."
As the voice fell, a male cultivator wearing precious robes and at the ninth level of Qi training walked in.
After glancing at Xu Chunniang, he took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it toward the shopkeeper, then was about to reach for the rejuvenation pill.
