[You have successfully carved the Gold Surge Array Plate, your array proficiency +1]
[You have successfully carved the Thick Earth Array Plate, your array proficiency +0]
[You have successfully carved the Beacon Fire Plate. Girl, you have carved eighty-eight plates. You must be familiar with it.]
Jiang Yuebai twisted her neck and put down the carving knife. In order to familiarize herself with the Five Elements Replenishing Yuan Formation and also to prepare for the competition, she had been carving the basic formation for three consecutive days.
Now I can carve one with my eyes closed and yawning.
There are indeed similarities between the Spirit Gathering Array and the Five Elements Replenishing Array. She has been exploring them for days and feels that there is only a hazy layer of window paper left, which can be pierced just a little bit.
But the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't find the answer. At this time, she missed Li Jiuchuan very much. She didn't know how his life treasure was being repaired and when he would come back.
Jiang Yuebai stood up and stretched her muscles. She decided to make an elixir later. She almost made a ninth-grade intermediate Dust-Reducing Pill last time, so she had to consolidate the mysterious feeling she had last time.
"Senior Sister Jiang! Senior Sister Jiang! Great news!"
Qi Yue was shouting excitedly outside, and Jiang Yuebai went over to open the door.
Qi Yue ran over in one breath, took two breaths before saying, "Xiao Ankuo was captured by the Law Enforcement Hall."
Jiang Yuebai's eyebrows jumped, "What's going on?"
"It's the matter of the evil cultivator I told you about last time. Xiao Ankuo was the mastermind. The one who was arrested three years ago was just a scapegoat for his men."
"Come in and have a drink of water, and tell me in detail."
Qi Yue stepped into the quiet room, "I have been on guard against Xiao Ankuo recently, so I asked the sisters I met in Ziyun Valley to help watch him. I heard that the Law Enforcement Hall came directly to my house, and without saying a word, they sealed Xiao Ankuo's Dantian first."
"Master Uncle Zhu Wu, the chief judge of the Law Enforcement Hall, personally checked and found that there was indeed blood and energy left in Xiao Ankuo's Dantian, proving that he had used evil methods. Later, a careful search was conducted at his residence and solid evidence was found. He was immediately crippled and taken to Tianzui Peak."
"I heard that this time they are going to search his soul to find out the source. It is a big deal that evil disciples are causing trouble in Tianyan Sect. Now there are many more disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall outside, and they are conducting a strict investigation throughout the sect."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly realized, this is the gift Qi Ming gave her
"What exactly is the so-called evidence?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
"They said they found a black crystal token with three blood-stained characters on it: Ghost Spirit Cult."
"A token made of black crystal?"
Jiang Yuebai thought of the token found on Song Pei'er, which was also made of black crystal, but it had "Sanyuan Sect" written on it.
three
Could it be that it contains three branches, and the Ghost Spirit Cult is one of them
Jiang Yuebai felt it was very possible, and she even speculated that Xiao Ankuo learned his evil methods from Song Pei'er.
It's a pity that she can only guess and has no substantial evidence. But it's good that Qi Ming has made such a fuss. Under the strict investigation of the Law Enforcement Hall, Jia Xiuchun will definitely restrain himself.
As for Shen Huaixi, she cannot report him to avoid getting into trouble. If the Law Enforcement Hall can catch him and deal with him directly, it would be the best for her.
After all, she can rest assured and practice with peace of mind until the competition begins.
"Okay, Xiao Ankuo has brought this upon himself, and we can all breathe a sigh of relief. It just so happens that I have something for you."
Jiang Yuebai handed the storage bag given by Qi Ming to Qi Yue.
Qi Yue was shocked after seeing it, "Senior Sister Jiang, what are you doing?"
"Your brother asked me to give it to you."
"ah?"
Qi Yue dropped her storage bag and stood up as if she was stung by a bee. "Senior Sister Jiang, what did he say to you? You must not listen to him. He...he...you can't trust anything he says!"
Jiang Yuebai sighed, "He begged me for you at the time, so I couldn't refuse and accepted it. I don't care about the grudges between you two siblings, but now you have owed a lot of debts for learning how to make the Divine Machine Stone, right?"
"Just treat him as an outsider and lend him the spirit stones for use first. You can return them when you have them in the future. How worthless is it to delay your own cultivation for this? Your progress in learning the divine machine stones is much faster than mine. You are talented in this area. You should weigh the importance of this yourself."
Qi Yue bit her lip and struggled, then nodded after a moment, "Okay, I'll pay him back double in the future."
"Well, you go first. I'm going to make the elixir."
Hearing this, Qi Yue's mouth twitched. She had seen hardworking people, but she had never seen anyone more hardworking and self-disciplined than Jiang Yuebai.
Twelve hours a day, no matter when she came, Jiang Yuebai was either studying or practicing.
You are already so outstanding and still working so hard, how can others live
Qi Yue felt a lot of pressure. He went out and pinched his face hard, telling himself to learn from Jiang Yuebai.
＊
Deep in the Hedan Palace.
After listening to Qi Ming's report, Lin Xiangtian slammed the table in anger.
"This bastard!"
Behind the gauze curtain, Jia Xiuchun looked haggard, lying weakly on the couch, with branches growing out of his right shoulder, covered with longan-sized, blood-red fruits.
Qi Ming lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "He lost his spiritual cultivation token. Many people in Ziyun Valley were oppressed by him. I heard that dozens of people jointly reported him to the Law Enforcement Hall. In fact, when the Law Enforcement Hall came to the door, there was no evidence. The evidence was found on Xiao Ankuo. The blood energy in his Dantian was not completely removed."
Jia Xiuchun's chest heaved violently, and he was so angry that he didn't have the energy to curse.
Lin Xiangtian waved Qi Ming away, lifted the veil and looked at the red fruit on Jia Xiuchun's shoulder, and said worriedly: "The work of refining medicine cannot be interrupted. Now most of the spiritual cultivators are under house arrest. The only solution now is to let Jiang Yuebai come."
"Absolutely not!"
Jia Xiuchun grabbed Lin Xiangtian's wrist, and only a pair of big eyes remained on his thin and dry face. His eyes were bloodshot and he stared at Lin Xiangtian with pleading eyes.
She is in such a miserable state now, and what she fears most is being seen by the person she hates.
"But without the fourth level of the Red Flame Art, you can only use my Dan Fire. How can you bear it?"
Jia Xiuchun's face was ferocious and crazy, "It's okay, for you, I can bear it!"
Lin Xiangtian raised his hand and tucked Jia Xiuchun's messy hair behind her ears, his eyes full of tenderness, but the next moment, he passed the Dan fire into Jia Xiuchun's body without mercy.
Heart-wrenching screams rang out from the hall, but were eliminated by the soundproofing array.
Qi Ming stood outside the hall, straightened his back and raised his head, watching the leaves falling silently and the birds flying in the sky.
A Yue, brother will be free soon.
＊
There is a sword tomb in the back mountain of Tianjian Peak.
It was a pitch-black cave with no grass growing and the biting cold wind was howling.
There is no intact place in sight, and cracks crisscross each other, all of which contain the sharp sword intent.
Like a swarm of bees waiting for an opportunity, they swarm over at the slightest movement, making people's hair stand on end.
A girl in white walked out of the darkness with an expressionless face, holding an ice sword in her hand. Her clothes were torn and covered in blood, with scars that had just healed visible everywhere.
"Lu Nanzhi, can't you take a break? You're crazy!"
The young man in white was also covered in scars. He looked around tremblingly, with a red sword across his chest, and was on full alert.
"This damn place is horrible!"
Xie Jingshan's voice trembled slightly. The cold wind alone made his hair stand on end. It was as if he was walking on a sword. If he was not careful, the sword energy would enter his body and tear him to pieces.
Xie Jingshan was cautious and restrained, walking slowly with small steps, while Lu Nanzhi was fearless and walked with big strides.
Buzz!
Like water meeting oil, the air inside the sword tomb exploded in an instant, and countless sword beams shot out from the criss-crossing cracks, covering the sky and the sun, with a murderous intent.
"Me!!" Xie Jingshan forced himself to hold back the curse words, and used all his strength to resist with the sharp edge of his red sword.
There was a gleam of light in Lu Nanzhi's eyes, he held a sword tightly in his hand, and his body moved like the wind, slashing horizontally and vertically.
Ding ding ding!
Sword beams were slashed down from the sky, and the two men suffered new injuries before their old ones healed.
Under the pressure of the huge wave-like sword light, both of them forgot all their powerful and killing moves, sword tactics and sword techniques. All that was left was a sword in their hands and the will to struggle desperately.
A moment later, the last sword light was cut off, the sound of clashing swords echoed away, and the cave gradually became quiet.
Lu Nanzhi staggered and fell with half of his body covered in blood. Xie Jingshan was just as miserable, collapsing to the ground unable to move.
"I've survived this once again. I must be crazy to come in and suffer this with you." Xie Jingshan said.
Lu Nanzhi looked at the mountain wall above his head and murmured, "Xiaobai must have gone through those five years in the same way."
Xie Jingshan frowned and remained silent.
Lu Nanzhi added, "Xiaobai has been observing thunder for five years and has already comprehended the martial power of thunder. There are only a few months left before the competition, and I must comprehend my own sword intent."
Xie Jingshan gritted his teeth and propped himself up halfway, took out the medicine and swallowed a pill, then handed one to Lu Nanzhi.
"One day I will let her call me Senior Brother."
"Xie Jingshan." Lu Nanzhi looked at Xie Jingshan seriously, "Don't always think about being first in everything. No one can always be first. Be careful not to become obsessed with it."
Xie Jingshan lowered his eyes, his gaze gradually becoming profound.
Lu Nanzhi took the medicine and swallowed it, then forced himself to sit aside and meditate to recover.
After this small competition, the number one on the Tianyan Sect's Qi training period combat power list will probably change hands.
