Naturally, it is difficult to explain clearly in one word what is going on in the world.
Fang Yuan didn't know whether the appearance of this small box was just a coincidence because the remains of the casual cultivator had been sitting for too long and his muscles were loose, or whether the old cultivator really had a spirit in heaven and put this little box before he left. The box was given to myself.
But after he meditated for a moment, he took the small box in his hand, looked at it, and found that the small box was only a little bigger than a walnut. It was cold to the touch, but the cover was very tight, but it could not be opened.
Seeing the runes on it, he poured some mana into it.
Then he saw three runes slowly lighting up around the small box, but the box was still not opened.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that there were eight runes of this type, but now only three were lit.
"Does it take eight runes to light up at the same time for this box to be opened?"
Fang Yuan frowned, but this was not something he could do with his current level of cultivation.
But he still put the small box away, bowed to the remains, and whispered: "Senior, don't worry, if there is senior's last wish in this small box, then the junior will definitely try his best to fulfill it in return for senior." Today’s cause and effect…”
Outside the cave, a breeze blew, and Old Xiu's gray beard fluttered gently, as if he was nodding.
"…Farewell!"
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out of the cave, closing the cave door again.
He raised his arms and picked up various magic seals. The remaining protective formations that he had cracked before flew up again. The spiritual lights intertwined and intertwined together like vines. Then the formations of light flickered, and a The layer formation has been restored to its original state!
"He...he actually set up this big formation again..."
Xu Qingying and Elder Li looked at each other from a distance, and the shock in their hearts was indescribable.
"Not only can he break the formation, but he can also set up the formation at will. How can this person be so young and have such a high level of formation skills?"
In their awed and puzzled eyes, Fang Yuan deployed three large formations to restore the cave to its original state, then led them outside, packed some things in his cave, and said to Xu Qingying: "I will go with you this time. I won't take your Huoyunling things for nothing. I will also help you Huoyunling within the scope of my ability. But you must do three things first!"
This enigmatic young man actually offered to help. Xu Qingying was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Senior, please give me your instructions!"
"First, don't mention me to anyone!"
"Second, bring me the Thunder Stone from Outer Heaven as soon as you get back!"
Fang Yuan counted them out one by one and said: "Third, build a cave in the place where your fire spiritual veins are strongest!"
Xu Qingying agreed to the first two, but was slightly startled after hearing the third: "Senior wants to live in, so junior will naturally give up the cave where the previous sect masters of Huoyunling have lived to give to senior. This newly built cave is The reason is for..."
Fang Yuan glanced at Guan Ao and said calmly: "I have my own use."
Xu Qingying didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she hurriedly agreed and led the way, taking Fang Yuan to Huoyun Ridge.
The mountain gate of Huoyun Ridge is located on a mountain more than a thousand miles east of Yuluo Mountain.
It is also built on the mountain, with several palaces located there.
There are only a few hundred disciples under the sect, and their strength is uneven. Most of them are outer disciples with shallow cultivation. There are not many elders in the foundation building realm. Apart from Elder Li and the young sect leader, there is only one pill builder. The overall strength of Ji's elders and the two fire-based foundation-building elders is really not strong. Compared with them, even Qingyang Sect can be regarded as a behemoth.
However, Huoyunling's inheritance was shallow, and it was originally more like a mortal gang than an immortal sect.
If the only thing in Huoyun Ridge that is attractive to others is the fire-attributed earth vein.
After all, this is a cultivation resource that allows people to realize the foundation of the fire element. It is quite precious in the eyes of practitioners. Speaking of it, among all the foundations of Huoyun Ridge, the most valuable is this earth line, and it is also the current Huoyun Ridge. The reason why Linghui is being targeted!
Along the way, without Fang Yuan taking the initiative to ask, Xu Qingying, the young master of the Huoyunling sect, told everything that Huoyunling was facing now. Fang Yuan only expressed that he understood and did not say anything more. And this The young sect leader of Huoyunling also knew very well, so he just called it a day and politely brought Fang Yuan to the gate of Huoyunling Mountain, and respectfully invited Fang Yuan in.
Before arriving at the mountain gate, Fang Yuan looked up and saw that Huoyunling was located on a lonely hill. It was empty on all sides and had no danger to rely on. It was indeed an easy-to-attack but difficult-to-defend place. There was no terrain to borrow from. Can rely on the mountain guard formation to guard the mountain gate.
They had no choice but to come to Huoyun Ridge. If the ground hadn't been right here, they would never have chosen such a damn place to build the mountain gate.
"When did you set up your mountain protection formation?"
Fang Yuan stood at the foot of the mountain, not in a hurry to climb the mountain, but looked at it for a moment, frowned and asked.
The young sect leader Xu Qingying was slightly startled, obviously unaware of such a long time ago, and subconsciously looked at Elder Li.
Elder Li hurriedly said: "Friend Daoist Fang, who is a good teacher, learned that the mountain-protecting formation in Huoyunling was specially set up by the great-grandfather of the young sect leader three hundred years ago by a famous great formation master. , has been relying on it to resist foreign enemies, and every ten years, some formation masters will be invited to repair it, but they have never been able to invite skilled grand formation masters to re-arrange the formation, and they can only barely support it!"
"According to the scriptures, the Immortal Sect's mountain-protecting formation is the lifeblood of the Immortal Sect. The positions of the eight directions must be changed at least every ten years, and a new formation must be laid out every hundred years. You can just make do with it, and you are not afraid of being caught. Has the enemy figured out the location of the formation?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly and asked lightly.
But after hearing this, Elder Li glanced at Xu Qingying with a troubled look on his face: "This... this Grand Formation Master..."
Fang Yuan nodded, already understanding, and signaled that he didn't need to say any more.
Once every ten years, ordinary formation masters are invited to repair the formation. Huoyunling can still afford the price, but if the formation master is invited to re-arrange the formation, the price will be high. They're so big that they can't be invited without some blood!
Looking at the large formation on the mountain, his heart moved slightly.
In the past two years, his level of formation skills has improved a lot. When his hands were itchy, he wanted to try his formation skills. For him, this was a training process. The more, the stronger his control over the formation will be.
However, although he was interested in practicing on the mountain protection formation in Huoyunling, he also knew that by taking the initiative, he lowered his worth and did not arouse suspicion. Therefore, he just smiled softly and said: "Then go up!"
When the young sect leader of Huoyunling met Elder Li, his heart was moved.
Leading Fang Yuan to walk in front, a spiritual consciousness was transmitted to him secretly, and he was discussing something in a low voice.
Fang Yuan guessed their purpose and pretended not to know, so he led them all the way up the mountain and sat down in the palace to drink tea.
It wasn't until the cup of tea was finished that the young master of Huoyunling gathered up his courage, bowed lightly to Fang Yuan, and said hesitantly: "Senior, Qingying has an unkind request. I hope you will agree to it. I, Huoyun The mountain is now besieged on all sides, and powerful enemies are watching. It's really time for this mountain-protecting formation to be repaired or even rearranged. However, it's just that the formation master is hard to find, and a skilled and trustworthy formation master is even harder to find, so it has been delayed. Now that she has met her senior, she can be considered lucky, but she didn’t know that senior... "
After listening to his words, Fang Yuan laughed inwardly, knowing that his goal had been achieved.
He originally wanted to practice with Huoyunling's mountain-protecting formation, but if he brought it up on his own initiative, it would appear that his motives were impure, and he might have aroused the suspicion of Huoyunling, although the young sect leader was restrained by him. , and could not tolerate her not agreeing, but that would cause trouble for no reason after all, so he deliberately put on airs and waited for the young sect leader of Huoyunling to take the initiative to bring up the matter.
He also believed that the young sect leader and Elder Li were not fools and would figure this out.
If you want to find someone to set up a mountain-protecting formation, you must first find a skilled formation master, and secondly, find a trustworthy formation master, in order to avoid the mountain-protecting formation being too crude and easily broken by others, or the formation master's mental skills. No, there was some secret hidden in the formation.
However, Fang Yuan was perfect for these two points.
As for the skill of formation, Elder Li and the Young Sect Master of Huoyunling had both witnessed his process of breaking the death formation left by Master Taihua on Yuluo Mountain. If he could break the death formation, it shows that his attainments in formation are definitely not shallow. , although Fang Yuan looks young and does not look like a great formation master, but maybe he is also a master and disciple, and setting up a simple mountain-protecting formation like Huoyunling is not a problem.
And if you can believe it or not...
Of course Huoyunling couldn't trust Fang Yuan!
It's believable, but so what, even the young sect master has been restrained, and he can just grab whatever he wants!
It was precisely after thinking about this that Elder Li and the young sect leader discussed and decided to ask Fang Yuan to take action.
"The formation master has the rules of the formation master and will not take action for you casually..."
Fang Yuan did not agree immediately, but spoke thoughtfully.
Elder Li and the young sect leader Xu Qingying were stunned for a moment after hearing this, with expressions of embarrassment on their faces.
Everyone knows that the formation master has a big air and the cost of taking action is high.
But in Huoyun Ridge today, the Thunder Stone from Heaven has been promised to Fang Yuan and is no longer his own. In addition, he has also promised to give Fang Yuan a thousand spirits, which is already what Huoyun Ridge can give. The maximum price is, if Fang Yuan is paid extra for setting up the mountain protection formation, this small Huoyunling will not be able to hand it over even if the family's wealth is emptied. Is it possible to give him the leyline
"But that's all!"
At this time, Fang Yuan gently shook his head and said calmly: "You promised me the extraterrestrial thunder stone and the thousand taels of elves, although you only agreed in exchange for your life in my hands. But I don’t want to get benefits for nothing, so this time I will set up a mountain protection formation for you, even if I use this formation to pay back the thunder stones and spirits from outside the sky!"
Having said this, he paused slightly and then said it: "I will stay in Huoyun Ridge for a while. Instead of scheming with each other, wasting energy and wasting time, it is better to make it clear first, I am not a People who like to make others suffer will not take advantage of you even if they take something from you. And you, it is best not to cause any trouble... "
