The two were a little disappointed with Xu Chunniang. A formation master needs talent, but daily accumulation is equally important.
Even if one's talent is average, one will become more proficient with more formations he or she has seen.
The formation master, who came from a noble family, was a middle-aged male cultivator dressed as a Confucian scholar.
He looked at Xu Chunniang and said bluntly, "You don't need to participate in breaking the formation. You can help the two of us later. It will be your blessing if you can learn even a little bit."
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, but didn't tell anything.
Bai Lu and Qi Yunluo did not have the usual arrogance and conceit that cultivators from aristocratic families usually had, which almost made her forget that many cultivators from aristocratic families actually looked down on independent cultivators in their hearts.
In the minds of some cultivators from aristocratic families, it seems that independent cultivators are inherently inferior to others.
There is no high or low in people, no noble or humble in things. Those who have such a discriminatory mind are the ones who have fallen into inferiority.
After nearly twenty formation masters were divided into groups, they finally began to break the formation.
By combining the strengths of all the formation masters to jointly break the formation, the efficiency of breaking the formation was greatly improved. On the first day, five third-level formations were broken.
Everyone used their mental formations to roughly estimate that there were about sixty formations on the stone gate. At this rate, it would only take more than ten days to break through the stone gate.
The group that Xu Chunniang was in specialized in breaking water formations. On the second day, the three of them made their first move.
"It's the Xuanshui Guizhen Formation."
The old woman glanced at the outermost formation of the stone gate and quickly recognized it.
The middle-aged male cultivator who looked like a scholar nodded slightly, "This Xuanshui Guizhen Formation is not difficult, let's get started now."
After saying this, he glanced at Xu Chunniang with a warning in his eyes, indicating that she should not act on her own.
When breaking the formation, the most important thing to avoid is anyone tampering with the formation. If the formation is interfered with and new changes occur, everything has to be deduced again, which is very energy-consuming.
Xu Chunniang's lips curled up slightly, and she was happy to watch.
Anyway, watching others break the formation would not affect her deduction, and she wouldn't have to put in any effort.
When the old woman saw this scene, she shook her head slightly, then collected her thoughts, stared intently at the formation in front of her, looking for flaws.
The old woman and the middle-aged scholar were indeed third-level formation masters who had studied formations for many years. With their combined efforts, they quickly dismantled a corner of the formation.
From this, it can be seen that it is only a matter of time before this Mysterious Water Returning Formation is dismantled.
The middle-aged scholar paused for a moment, glanced at Xu Chunniang beside him, and gave instructions without any hesitation.
"Here, here, and here are the Jingmen, Kaimen, and Shengmen in the formation. You should crack the Jingmen first."
Before Xu Chunniang could say anything, another formation master frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but say, "We are all formation masters, how can you order people around like this?"
The middle-aged scholar's face froze and he defended himself.
"She has only been a third-level formation master for a few years. What can she do? I am giving her guidance so that she can quickly accumulate experience. She should be grateful to me."
After hearing this, the other formation masters were still somewhat dissatisfied, but they did not say anything more.
It is true that many formation masters, after being promoted, assist some well-known formation masters in order to accumulate experience and learn formation techniques.
Xu Chunniang stood still and just smiled when she heard the words.
"I never said I needed your advice. It's because you thought I was in the way that I stood further away so as not to affect you in breaking the formation."
The middle-aged scholar felt unhappy when he was directly contradicted.
But since the other party said that he didn't need any instructions, he lost the chance to attack. He had to turn around and continue to break the formation with a huff.
In less than three hours, the Xuanshuigui Formation was completely dismantled.
Although the middle-aged scholar was tired, there was a hint of satisfaction on his face. However, when he glanced at Xu Chunniang who was leisurely sitting aside, his good mood immediately dropped by 90%.
He worked hard to break the formation, but the other party just sat back and enjoyed the results without doing anything. It was really unreasonable.
His eyes darkened slightly, and he called over Ao Xingyun and Feng Nitian.
This cooperation is led by two people, and these two companies are the apparent main players.
"Young Master Ao, Young Master Feng."
The middle-aged scholar bowed to the two men and then accused them.
"This female cultivator surnamed Xu only has the title of a third-level formation master, but she has no real ability to show for it. She is simply unworthy of the title and cannot help at all. Moreover, she only has one hand, so she can't do much even if she helps."
Ao Xingyun looked at Xu Chunniang with a slightly fixed gaze.
It turned out that this woman was the one who traveled with the monks from the Bai and Qi families.
The middle-aged scholar explained what had just happened and concluded, "If this person stays in the team, he will only hinder us. I don't want to work with him."
Feng Nitian looked at Xu Chunniang, "Is what he said true?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "He didn't let me do anything."
The middle-aged scholar clenched his fists and sneered.
"With your level, how could I dare to let you take action? The art of formation affects the whole body, how can I let you do whatever you want? I wanted to give you some advice, but you didn't appreciate it. You really don't know what's good for you!"
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, thinking that this person was going a bit too far.
She had followed the other party's instructions and not to participate or interfere, but in the end she was accused of being ungrateful and was forced to leave.
"Who said I am only a third-level formation master? You have never seen me take action and yet you are making irresponsible remarks. I did not argue with you, but you became aggressive. Is this the tolerance of a cultivator from an aristocratic family?"
Xu Chunniang looked at the middle-aged scholar with a compelling gaze.
The other party was shocked by her momentum and was speechless for a moment. After reacting, he suddenly felt ashamed and angry. He was actually stunned by her words!
The middle-aged scholar took a deep breath and snorted coldly.
"Even if you have some abilities, without an arm, your speed of breaking the formation will be more than twice as slow, so you will still be a burden!"
"What if I can prove that I can break the formation as fast as you?"
"Ha! What a joke. Even if I give you a hand, you can't be faster than me!"
The middle-aged scholar chuckled, his expression full of arrogance.
"If you can really break the formation faster than me, then I will leave the inheritance hall! But on the other hand, if you lose, you also have to get out of here, how about that?"
A cold light flashed in Xu Chunniang's eyes. From the beginning to the end, the other party had been targeting her.
She originally didn't bother to care, but if she didn't fight back after being pushed to this point, they really thought she was made of clay!
"Sure. But it's not enough to just leave the Heritage Hall. How about adding another top-grade spirit stone as a bet?"
Top-grade spiritual stone!
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Not to mention that the top-grade spirit stone itself is worth millions, the pure spiritual energy contained in it has many wonderful uses.
This female cultivator is really generous to be able to take out top-grade spirit stones for betting!
Feng Nitian had a faint smile on his face, and things were starting to get interesting.
This female cultivator who was traveling with Bai Lu and Qi Yunluo was indeed not as simple as she seemed.
However, the middle-aged scholar's expression stiffened slightly when he heard about the top-grade spirit stone.
He only has one top-grade spirit stone. If he loses, wouldn’t it be a heavy loss
