Zhan Yingluo drank the spiritual wine in the cup. Xu Chunniang was a casual cultivator, but she had reached where she was today through her own efforts and was even able to become a formation master. It was obvious that she had some luck.
What's even more rare is that she doesn't look very old.
Although in the world of cultivation, many cultivators have the ability to maintain their youth, a person's true age can still be seen more or less.
If she is smart and is well trained, maybe she can add another Jindan-stage guest official to the Zhan family.
"Go and ask her to come over."
"yes."
The old man quickly realized that the young lady was attracted by his talent.
Xu Chunniang was a little surprised when she learned that Zhan Yingluo wanted to see her. As a young lady from the Zhan family, why would she suddenly come to her
Although she had been observing the formation these days, all she saw were the rules and appearances of the formation's operation, and she believed that her behavior was nothing out of the ordinary.
Xu Chunniang was confused but did not show it on her face. She followed the old man to the third floor of the cloud boat.
The old man brought the person over and then retreated spontaneously.
Zhan Yingluo smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please take a seat. Please don't blame me for being rude."
Xu Chunniang accepted the greeting and sat down as she was told. "I wonder what Third Miss wants to see me about?"
"This spiritual wine was obtained from my great grandfather. Why don't you try it and see if it suits your taste?"
Zhan Yingluo first poured her a glass of spirit wine, and then slowly and steadily put the matter into words.
"I saw you staying at the stern of the boat, seemingly observing the cloud boat formation. I guessed you must be a formation master, so I dared to invite you."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly. She knew that her actions could not be hidden from the Zhan family, and she did not think of hiding it, so she admitted it frankly.
"I saw that this formation was novel, so I took a few more glances at it."
"This boat protection formation is composed of two third-level water formations as the core, supplemented by ten second-level formations. The protective effect is amazing. Even the power of the Nascent Soul can withstand three attacks."
Beneath Zhan Yingluo's calm tone was a calm confidence.
Even looking at Pingfeng Island, there are only a few companies that can build such cloud boats.
She poured herself a cup of spirit wine and took a sip. "Fellow Daoist Xu, can you tell what these ten auxiliary formations are?"
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and said, "I can only see four of them."
"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight."
Zhan Yingluo showed a hint of admiration in her eyes and poured herself more wine.
"When the cloud boat is on the road, it will only activate one main formation and four auxiliary formations. The rest of the formations will only be activated when encountering an enemy attack."
Zhan Yingluo was originally only somewhat interested in this female cultivator, but now she really wanted to recruit her.
With his talent in formation, if he is lucky enough to form a pill, he will definitely become a great help to the Zhan family in the future.
She thought for a moment, took out a thin piece of bone from her storage ring, and pushed it in front of Xu Chunniang.
"This contains all the auxiliary formations of the Great Boat Protection Formation. Since you are interested in the formations, I will give it to you."
Xu Chunniang was not happy but shocked. She thought that one should not accept gifts without doing anything. How could she take other people's things for free
"This thing is precious, I can't accept it."
"It doesn't matter. For the Zhan family, this little thing is nothing. It will just gather dust here."
Zhan Yingluo looked as if she didn't care, and that was indeed the case.
In the boat protection formation, the two water formations are the core, and the auxiliary formations are of limited value.
Why not use a little favor to win over a formation master
However, Xu Chunniang still declined politely, and Zhan Yingluo did not force her. She calmly put away the bone fragment, still looking cheerful and talkative.
"I know the five southern islands very well. I heard that you were born on an unknown island. I wonder which one you are from?"
Although Zhan Yingluo seemed to be chatting, she was actually asking about Xu Chunniang's background.
Xu Chunniang understood the other party's implication. Regarding her background, she had already thought of a way to deal with it.
"The island where I was born had no name, and it was destroyed by a sea beast a year ago. I drifted in the sea for a long time until I met someone from the Cheng family, and then I was able to come to Nansha Island."
Zhan Yingluo asked some other questions, and Xu Chunniang answered them evasively.
After three rounds of drinks, Zhan Yingluo insisted on exchanging the souls on the tokens, then stood up with a smile to see them off.
"The hunting competition will last for three months. If you have nothing to do, you can come to me at any time."
Only when she knew that the other person had completely disappeared from her sight did she put away the smile on her face.
Zhao Hucheng stepped out of a room, "Third Miss."
"What can you tell? Is what she said true or false?"
Zhao Hucheng has a skill that allows him to detect the truthfulness of other people's words within a certain range.
This is also the reason why Zhan Yingluo values him so much even though he is only in the early stage of Golden Core cultivation.
But Zhao Hucheng, who had always been successful, shook his head this time.
"Her consciousness is very powerful, and I can't sense any spiritual fluctuations. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, I gave up after trying twice without any effect."
When a cultivator lies, the fluctuations of his soul will show abnormalities. The technique he practices is based on this.
Zhan Yingluo frowned slightly, "What kind of logic is this? Could it be that her consciousness is stronger than yours?"
Zhao Hucheng also failed when he used this technique.
However, in most cases, it would fail when used on someone whose spiritual awareness was not weaker than his.
This is the first time that I have failed against a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Zhao Hucheng's eyes turned, "Perhaps, she has a secret treasure of spiritual consciousness."
Zhan Yingluo reluctantly accepted this statement.
"If you can't sense it, forget it. In my opinion, what she said is probably true."
Only a cultivator who came from a small island and had limited knowledge would stay in the Cheng family's library for several months.
"Although Xu Chunniang has some talent in formation, she is a bit inflexible in dealing with people."
Zhao Hucheng nodded slightly, "People like this usually don't lie."
"Under certain circumstances, being inflexible is actually a good thing. If such a person is truly loyal to the Zhan family, there is no need to worry that she will betray us in the future."
Zhao Hucheng was slightly startled. "Why didn't Miss San mention anything about recruiting just now?"
"To recruit someone is to make him sincerely submit to me. If he only submits to the power of my Zhan family, then he will naturally submit to a stronger force than my Zhan family one day."
Zhao Hucheng couldn't help but be convinced that the third young lady was worthy of being a member of the Zhan family and was well versed in how to control people.
Zhan Yingluo stopped there and after sending Zhao Hucheng away, she called in the old foundation-building master who had been guarding the entrance to the third floor of the Yunzhou.
"Uncle Fu, did Cheng Qingjia agree to my request?"
Zhan Fu bowed slightly, his tone slightly dissatisfied.
"Miss, that boy is ungrateful. Not only did he reject my proposal, he also said that he wanted to practice hard to restore the glory of his ancestors."
"Oh? He actually has such determination?"
There was some surprise in Zhan Yingluo's eyes.
