Taking advantage of the dark night, Bai Yuzhe and his party rode wildebeests all the way to the north city gate! The place where they lived was originally near the north city gate, so they saw the city gate soon. However, at this time the city gate has been closed.
The other gates of the deserted city are open all day long, and only the north gate will be closed at around eight o'clock in the evening. Because this direction is facing the barren mountain range, although it is rare to attack the barren city, there have been beast hordes in history, and we have to guard against them.
At this time, it was nearly nine o'clock, and the city gate was naturally closed!
"What should I do?" Looking at the closed city gate, the monkey asked.
"Bribe!" Bai Yuzhe's answer was very simple, only two words. At the same time, they also controlled the speed of the wildebeest to slow down, and gradually came to the city gate!
Although the city gate is closed, there are still guards guarding here. When they saw people riding wildebeest, they immediately stood in front of the city gate. One of the leaders came out and said to Bai Yuzhe and others: "Everyone, The north city gate is closed tonight, if you want to leave the city, please go through other gates."
"Generals, since we are going to the barren mountain range, it is quite a long way around other places, so I hope you will be more considerate! This is a little thought from us, and it is for the generals to drink!" Luo Ming had dismounted and walked to the other side. In front of the leader, he quietly handed over a bag.
The other party frowned slightly, as if he was a bit embarrassed, and he hesitated when he reached out to pick it up! However, Luo Ming shook it lightly, and suddenly there was a heavier crashing sound instead of the crisp sound of gold coins.
The leader was taken aback for a moment, took it over and opened it a little for a look, then his eyes widened immediately, and he quickly put it away. Then he turned around and waved his hand, the city gate swung open, Bai Yuzhe took the lead, and a group of nineteen people rushed out quickly, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
And the general who defended the city had a smile on his face, he weighed the bag in his hand, and was immediately elated! Inside, there are at least seventy or eighty primeval stones, which is quite a fortune.
He is just a martial artist in the Heart Gate Realm, although guarding the North City Gate is often a bit oily, but when have you seen so many primordial stones? As for the number of people released, it was nothing at all. This was not a time of war, and there was no order in the city saying that the city gates must not be opened at night.
It's not a big deal to release a few warriors who want to go to the barren mountains to practice!
After Bai Yuzhe and the others left the city gate, they still didn't stop at all and drove all the way until midnight, when they arrived at the foot of the barren mountain range! Like last time, I found a remote place and put the wildebeest there temporarily, then I chose a place at random and started to go up the mountain!
Bai Yuzhe's idea was to practice in the barren mountains for a period of time first, and then come out after the prince Hong Qinglin and the princess Hong Yun'er both returned to the imperial city. Hong Zhenshan would have nothing to do by then.
As for how to know whether the prince and princess have returned, it can only be guessed by oneself. In case of a wrong guess, there is actually no danger to life, the big deal is just to change the plan!
Anyway, it was one of their plans to come to the barren mountains to continue their training.
After entering the mountain, Bai Yuzhe and the others did not act rashly. After all, at night, the chances of ferocious beasts appearing are higher. Moreover, if one is not careful and encounters some ferocious beasts that live in groups, it will still pose a considerable threat to them.
After going deep for forty or fifty kilometers, everyone found a place that looked relatively stable and planned to take a rest first! Over the past few tens of miles, they have killed many ferocious beasts, but luckily, no ferocious beasts living in groups appeared.
However, at this time the sky was already getting bright, and they actually just took a rest for about an hour. For a martial artist, it's actually nothing if he doesn't sleep all night.
"Boss, shall we go straight to the middle?" Seeing that the sky had already brightened, Iron Tower showed a hint of excitement on his face, and asked Bai Yuzhe. The outskirts of the barren mountains are actually not suitable for them to practice.
After all, the chances of meeting ferocious beasts living in groups are rare. Most of the ferocious beasts in the periphery are around the first and second ranks, and the third-rank ferocious beasts rarely appear, so the middle class is suitable for them.
"Not going for now, let's go to the last col first, practice there for a while, and then think about it!" Bai Yuzhe vetoed the iron tower's proposal and revealed his own arrangement.
"So many primordial stones are for cultivation, not for viewing! Let's transform these hundreds of thousands of primordial stones into our own strength first!" Bai Yuzhe got up and continued walking forward while talking .
It is not so difficult to find the direction in the barren mountains. After all, there are mountains everywhere, and each mountain is different. After two or three days of driving, they finally arrived at the col that was before.
This place seems to have become their stronghold in the barren mountains. In fact, this place is really not bad, the place is big enough, the aura is more abundant than other places, the scenery is also good, and there is a water source not far away.
"Next, our training time is divided into two stages. One stage is to cultivate the source power during the day, and to comprehend the exercises and moves at night! The other stage is the opposite. The person who comprehends the exercises and moves is also responsible for vigilance! Later, I will place ten primordial stone formations in this mountain depression to help you improve your source power! Remember them all, if you feel that you are about to break through, try to delay as much as possible to lay a more solid foundation !" Arriving here, after tidying up the place a bit, Bai Yuzhe said.
Then, he continuously took out a large number of primordial stones from the storage container, and began to arrange formations in the mountain depression. For an alchemist, the comprehension of the formation is an essential homework, the higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the realm of the formation will definitely be.
Bai Yuzhe's understanding of formations is at the top level in the entire Michuan Continent. The large formation he is going to deploy this time is called the Nine Elements Gathering Spirit Formation. As the name suggests, the array is to quickly gather the spiritual energy of the world and use it for self-cultivation. Of course, you can also make alchemy and cast utensils in it.
It is impossible for anyone in the barren area to understand this formation. In fact, it is generally only after reaching the fifth-rank alchemist that one can initially master this formation. The layout of the nine-element spirit-gathering array can be large or small. The largest nine-element spirit-gathering array requires 810,000 yuan stones to arrange. Once that kind of formation is successfully arranged, the rich aura inside is simply beyond imagination.
The smallest one can be arranged with eighty-one primordial stones, relatively speaking, it can also make the world's spiritual energy rich by 30% to 50%.
This time, Bai Yuzhe planned to use 8,100 primordial stones for each formation, and 81,000 primordial stones would be used for ten formations! If this formation is arranged, it should be able to increase the aura by about three times, and it will last for about a month.
In one month, 81,000 primordial stones were used up, which is unimaginable in the wasteland.
One by one primordial stones were lined up continuously, with Bai Yuzhe's expression focused and his gaze concentrated, he dared not make the slightest mistake in the placement of each person. It took half a day for the first big formation.
Moreover, after the arrangement of the large formation was completed, Bai Yuzhe was also pale and covered with sweat. Obviously, setting up such a formation is really not easy. In particular, his realm is still low, and he hasn't arranged formations for a long time, so he is a bit rusty.
At this moment, the formation that has just been successfully arranged is emitting a burst of bright white light, and the surrounding spiritual energy is constantly gathering towards this side, and then merged into the formation! The white light was so intense that it directly covered up the scene in the formation.
The eighteen blood guards looked at the Nine Elements Gathering Spirit Formation, and they were all shocked, and at the same time yearned for it! You don't need to enter, just think about it, you can know that if you practice in there, the speed will definitely be a thousand miles a day!
After Bai Yuzhe greeted the eighteen blood guards, he stepped into the formation step by step. He had to recover as soon as possible. It takes a lot of time to set up ten formations. The reason why he doesn't expand the formation, but shrinks one formation so that only one person can enter, is that the effect will be better. And there is no one else around, and I will try my best to prevent any interference.
When he stepped into it, Bai Yuzhe suddenly felt that his whole body was surrounded by the ocean of aura, and the pores all over his body were open, and the aura could directly penetrate through the pores!
In this formation, even if you don't practice, the source power in your body will gradually increase.
In the Nine Elements Gathering Spirit Formation, after feeling the breath, Bai Yuzhe was quite satisfied, then sat down cross-legged, and began to practice while recovering the source power he had just consumed.
As Bai Yuzhe performed the exercise, his whole body seemed to be stretched out with tentacles, and the spiritual energy visible to the naked eye continued to pour into his body, quickly recovering his previous consumption, and even the source power in his body was also rapidly increasing. .
Only half an hour later, Bai Yuzhe felt that everything he had consumed just now had recovered, and even his mental strength was restored to fullness, and he looked radiant! However, he didn't stop, because he felt that he seemed to be about to break through the middle stage of the Spirit Aperture Realm and enter the late stage!
In fact, it has been quite a while since he reached the middle stage of the Spirit Aperture Realm. He has been accumulating and compressing, so he must try his best to make his source power completely full before making a breakthrough!
With the passage of time, Bai Yuzhe felt that the source power in his body was rushing like a mighty river, and even the hidden tendons developed by Longpo Jiutian Jue had been completely filled with source force, and the time for breakthrough was fully ripe!
Immediately afterwards, Bai Yuzhe circulated the source force, and there was a sudden shock in his body, and the source force stretched across the tendons in an instant...
