The "basic restrictions" that Patriarch Hu Chen mentioned do exist when refining a magic weapon. A magic weapon cannot be successfully refined just by getting the materials.
In addition to requiring a set of tempering techniques, there are also a number of formations inside, which are either nested or connected, just like the tendons and bones in the human body.
Among them, at least one set of formations is the most basic foundation of the magic weapon, which is called the "basic restriction formation", also called the "basic restriction".
It is the basic framework of the magic weapon. Other formations and restrictions are based on this. After complicated combinations, it produces tremendous power.
After hearing what Ancestor Hu Chen said, the crowd below exclaimed in amazement. This test place was actually transformed from the magic weapon that the Ancestor had used before.
The power seen now is less than 20%. Even so, a cultivator who has established his foundation may not be able to get through it, and he must always pay attention to the places where basic restrictions exist.
Afterwards, after listening to what Patriarch Hu Chen said, they also felt relieved. It seemed that they just needed to pay attention to the area where the basic restrictions existed. There was a Nascent Soul Patriarch who could treat him there.
After listening to what Patriarch Hu Chen said, Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng looked at each other and sneered in their hearts.
"Basic restriction, red spiritual shield? Humph, even if there was no red spiritual shield around, you could have created one. This is really a good reason to kill someone."
Just after Patriarch Hu Chen finished speaking, a man from the crowd in the stands flew up into the sky, and reached the sky above the square like lightning. Then, after circling, he hovered in the air.
He first bowed to Patriarch Hu Chen and others, then straightened his body and looked proudly at Zhuo Lingfeng in the stands.
"My fellow Taoist, please go first, or you will be accused of bullying the guest."
This man was about thirty years old, of medium build, dressed in a black robe, with a dignified face and colorful eyebrows. He stood in the air with an upright figure and a good-looking appearance.
"It's Hu Chen Wanmu. Didn't he enter the life and death retreat? He once said that he would not come out unless he succeeded in forming the elixir. I haven't seen him just now, so why is he here?"
"Hehehe... You don't know this, right? The reason why Hu Chen Wanmu has been able to cultivate so quickly in recent years is that his cultivation resources were all provided by the Fourth House.
Now that the Fourth House is in trouble, it is reasonable for him to come out of retreat. With his cultivation level, his cultivation of the Ghost Den Poison Scroll is estimated to have almost reached the sixth level. I think there may not be many people in the family below the Golden Core who can be his opponent. "
"Humph, I heard that Master Wu Ding's protector is also at the Fake Dan realm, but that may not be the case."
"I said you are stupid, kid. If both sides really fight with their own ability, it is not certain. The fake alchemy cultivator on Master Wuding's side may not give him time to arrange the poison. But what is this test about?"
“… … ”
Amid all the whispers below, Hu Chen Wanmu raised his lips to sneer, of course he knew what the Bie Xue Sect cultivators were good at.
I heard that this person had competed with the four major sects before, and had won several games. If it was a life-and-death fight, I might not be able to win. But now? It's different.
"Over the years, the Fourth Mistress has given me so many cultivation resources. I also promised that I would go all out if I was needed. Now it's time to repay you."
He thought silently in his heart, staring at Zhuo Lingfeng without blinking.
Just when everyone's eyes were on Zhuo Lingfeng, Zhuo Lingfeng didn't even move, which made everyone feel shocked. At the same time, Patriarch Hu Chen's eyes gradually became sinister.
Could it be that the other party knew he was going to die, but still dared to play a trick on me
If this was true, he would extract Chun's soul and refine his spirit in public, letting the other party know the consequences of playing tricks on a Yuanying. In that way, he would have a reason to kill this person immediately, and he wouldn't have to hide it.
Just as the square was slowly becoming quiet and a little eerie, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, fellow Taoists. I was thinking about something just now and was absent-minded for a while. Let's start the assessment now."
As this clear voice sounded, everyone looked in extreme surprise and saw an ordinary-looking young man in a green shirt who had been sitting next to Zhuo Lingfeng stand up.
He nodded to everyone with an apologetic look on his face, then slowly flew over the square.
Li Yan had just finished a quick communication with Hu Chen Wuding at this time. Knowing that he could not delay any longer, he stood up and flew into the air. However, when he flew, he was holding an ordinary flying sword under his feet.
As Li Yan stood up and spoke, there was a moment of silence in the square. Even Patriarch Hu Chen was a little surprised. Although he had long seen through Li Yan's hidden cultivation, no matter how he looked at it, Li Yan was not the best candidate.
The ancestors of the Chi family and the Xie family were both stunned. With their cultivation levels, although they had not noticed Li Yan before, at this moment, with a quick sweep of their spiritual sense, they could of course see through Li Yan's cultivation level.
Even the Ye family ancestor, who was at the level of a fake infant, could not see through Li Yan's level of cultivation, but he felt that this ordinary-looking young man was not as simple as he appeared to be.
"It's interesting that they didn't send out their strongest forces."
The ancestor of the Xie family has always been somewhat dissatisfied with the ancestor of the Hu Chen's sudden favoritism towards the Ye family, but he, like the ancestor of the Chi family, did not know the reason and was confused. Now seeing Li Yan's fearless look, he felt that both sides were equally weird.
Looking at Li Yan who was coming on a sword, and hearing the discussions rising in the square, Hu Chen Wanmu was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned furious. He immediately thought that Hu Chen Wuding was looking down on him, or was he humiliating him
"You know you can't win? Then there's no need for you, a little Qi Condensation cultivator, to fight against me. It would be boring even if you win. Does that count as me bullying the weak? Or does Fellow Daoist Zhuo disdain to fight with me?"
Hu Chen Wanmu said coldly.
"I've already said that this competition is just a test of poison, not a life-and-death fight. If you think this method isn't feasible, you can directly propose a life-and-death contest. Naturally, I won't take action on our side."
Li Yan glanced at Hu Chen Wanmu and said lightly.
As soon as he said this, Hu Chen Wan Mu Bu Tong narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, it turns out that I was wrong. You are actually a fellow poison cultivator?"
He was so surprised that he didn't even care that Li Yan called him "fellow Taoist" instead of "senior". "Well, it's getting late, please come in!"
Li Yan didn't want to waste any more words. After he finished speaking, he just bowed to him and flew towards the back mountain.
"What an arrogant young man."
Seeing that Li Yan ignored his words and flew away first, the anger that Hu Chen Wanmu had just suppressed rose again.
He had not seen a junior being so rude to his elders for many years. Although a Qi Condensation disciple in the Hu Chen family might be able to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator under certain conditions, there was still a hierarchy of realms to follow.
"This boy is at the initial stage of foundation building, but his magic power is not comparable to that of a normal cultivator at the initial stage of foundation building. It is already on par with that of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. What sect is he from
The aura of martial arts emanating from his body is something I have never seen before!
He is definitely not a disciple of the Bie Xue Sect. If he is really from a hidden family, this matter will be really tricky. I think Zhuo Lingfeng has already explained the situation to them..."
Patriarch Hu Chen looked at the two figures who had flown away amid the discussion of the crowd, and a thoughtful look appeared on his young face.
After thinking it over for a while, he decided that no matter what the result was, he had to come up with a reason or secretly kill Zhuo Lingfeng and Li Yan.
All cultivators who can reach the Nascent Soul stage are powerful men who have come step by step from mountains of blood and seas of corpses. How could they be hindered by such a small matter, let alone having to deal with two young Foundation Establishment cultivators
In the back mountain, Hu Chen Tingchun was sitting cross-legged at the foot of the mountain. When Li Yan and Hu Chen Wanmu flew over and landed one after another, they both bowed respectfully to Hu Chen Tingchun.
Hu Chen Tingchun had already seen the two people flying over. After they saluted, he nodded slightly.
However, when his eyes swept over Li Yan, there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes. Judging from his cultivation level, Li Yan was also in the Qi Condensation Stage, but this surprise was only fleeting.
In the Hu Chen family, everything that the Hu Chen ancestor said was like an imperial decree. Although he also had an opinion on the results of the previous game, he would never say it.
Although he didn't know what happened in the square ahead and a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator was replaced by someone else, he didn't want to ask about it anymore.
“There are two paths leading up the mountain. You two can choose one each. But in my opinion, there is no difference between the two paths.
Everything depends on your performance inside. I will stay here, and if any situation arises, I will take action immediately. If there is a situation where you accidentally enter the "basic restriction" as the ancestor said, the ancestor will take action personally.
So don't worry about anything, just do your best. However, I'll tell you in advance that once you enter the path, there will be a no-fly zone, so you can only walk, or at most run, but you can't fly."
When Li Yan landed just now, he saw that behind Hu Chen Tingchun who was sitting cross-legged, there were two small mountain paths about ten feet apart. They curved upward and disappeared into the bushes on the hillside.
"Young man, don't say that I am bullying you. Pick one first."
Hu Chen Wanmu turned to look at Li Yan, quite gracefully.
"Thank you very much!"
Li Yan was not pretentious. He bowed slightly to Hu Chen Wanmu and walked straight towards the path facing him without any choice or hesitation.
Seeing Li Yan disappear into the path in just a few steps, Hu Chen Wanmu smiled slightly and strode into another path.
Seeing that the two of them quickly disappeared into the mountain path, Hu Chen Tingchun slowly closed his eyes.
The incomparably powerful spiritual consciousness spread to the mountain in an instant. Suddenly, the mountain transformed by the magic weapon of Ancestor Hu Chen, and every blade of grass and tree on it, were clearly reflected in his spiritual consciousness.
At the same time, on the light curtain above the square in front, the entire mountain became clearer. There were two figures moving upwards from the foot of the mountain, one fast and one slow.
The figure was as fast as an arrow, but it seemed a little hesitant at the beginning. However, after traveling only a few dozen feet, its speed was getting faster and faster.
In the end, it was like a sharp arrow shot from a bow, without any sign of stopping in the middle.
This person was Hu Chen Wanmu. At the beginning, he was wary and cautious about the test arranged by the ancestor.
After stepping onto the path, he released all his spiritual consciousness and wrapped his whole body in a spiritual power shield. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and clapped them, and several pills flew directly into his mouth.
These pills were made by him himself, and they have some resistance to some famous poisons. Now that he has just entered the hillside, and is unaware of anything, of course he has to be absolutely safe.
Hu Chen Wanmu felt that there was an invisible force pressing down on him in the sky, making the cultivators in it feel as if their bodies were being held down.
Despite the elder's warning, Hu Chen Wanmu still made a hand gesture, but when his body was less than a foot off the ground, he staggered and fell heavily to the ground.
His face turned pale, and then he walked a few steps forward, backward, left and right. This kind of free walking did not have any obstacles at all, so he gave up the last thought of flying over.
So from then on, in his perception, there were only the strong or fragrant smells emanating from both sides of the path.
In the distance there were clusters of fog like miasma blocking the path. After he carefully distinguished them one by one, he felt relieved.
These toxic smells, as well as the poison that mixed between heaven and earth and silently sticked to his body, were all within his control.
What he was worried about was whether these known poisons would suddenly condense and intersect on their own and evolve into a mixed poison.
If the situation was not handled properly, the person would either faint or die on the spot. Even with Patriarch Hu Chen's assurance, he didn't want any accidents to happen.
After carefully distinguishing the dramatic elements here, Hu Chen Wanmu thought about it, and after careful consideration, he took out another white pill. After a trace of pain flashed across his eyes, he put it in his mouth.
