I'm a cannon fodder, and it makes sense to know XNUMX million points of skills, right?

Chapter 24 Priceless Opportunity
Lin Xiaojiu, like Lingtu who had grown up here since childhood, had long been able to identify safe ways to survive. Zhong Lingge followed her smoothly, and along the way, she engraved the detailed explanations of the Seven Stars, Liuhe, and Five Elements formations in her memory. .

The formation mantra has absorbed the detailed explanation of the formation here, and for the purpose of protecting the sea of ​​consciousness, the advanced formation part has been temporarily sealed.

Zhong Lingge was not in a hurry to understand it. The Nine Palaces and Bagua array on the outer edge was enough for her to study it over and over again for a while.

After walking for two hours, Zhong Lingge finally began to regret that he had promised too early. Lin Xiaojiu, a talkative man, did not have the thirst and fatigue of the human race. He could keep breathing with his small mouth.

"This is flying fish leaf. Does it have medicinal effect? ​​Haha, it has no medicinal effect! Why am I introducing it to you? Because I'm afraid you haven't seen it before.
"Oh, speaking of fish, there is a living pool near the center of the formation. Fish will occasionally swim in it. I don't know where the pool leads. Could it lead directly to the ancient Tai Chi period? Hehe, don't look like a fool. Look at me the same way, I'm joking!
"Friend Zhong Dao, do you think there is a place for treasures under the water? Otherwise, why would ancient cultivators bother to arrange so many formations! But even if there are treasures, they will be useless after more than 1000 years. You have the body to go into the water, so you are free. If you have nothing to do, you can go down and take a look.”

Zhong Lingge felt dizzy after hearing this. At first, he could still respond sentence by sentence. Later, he found that Lin Xiaojiu was simply lonely for too long and wanted to talk. He could talk happily without any need to respond.

She simply gave up the awkward chat and focused on recreating the formation, occasionally asking a few interesting questions while distracted.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, your parents must have been the last batch of monks to enter here. Did they give birth to you after they turned into ghost cultivators?"

"No, my mother was a Taoist cultivator when she was pregnant with me. After entering the secret realm, she was seriously injured and her physical body could not be saved. She happened to have an opportunity to become a ghost cultivator, so she and my father turned to ghost cultivation together."

Zhong Lingge became even more curious: "But you look about the same age as me, only thirteen or fourteen."

Lin Xiaojiu didn't quite understand, he only knew that his birth was indeed different from others.

"My mother said that she found out she was pregnant with me only after she became a ghost cultivator, and it took her 36 years to give birth to me. The strange thing is that I still had a physical body after I was born, but it was very fragile. I fell down when I was seven years old. I fell down and became a ghost inexplicably, so my parents had no choice but to let me switch to ghost cultivation."

Lin Xiaojiu's soul is stronger than both his parents. He has advanced to the late first level after six years of cultivation. He is considered a good candidate in ghost cultivation.

Her parents' cultivation path was not so smooth. They encountered various difficulties during the transfer. They failed to successfully break through the third level at the second level, and both of them lost their souls.

"They passed away for more than a year. I can only talk to rabbits and fish every day. I still want to cry at night, but the ghost can't shed tears. When I cry, I just howl. It sounds like a ghost at night! Hey, if I were It would be nice to be able to go out, my parents said there are many cities outside and they are lively from morning to night!"

"There will be a day! One day we can practice under the same heaven."

Seeing Lin Xiaojiu's lonely and hopeful eyes, Zhong Lingge thought of his mother who had died many years ago.It is very possible that she has also become a ghost cultivator, waiting alone in a certain fragment for the upper and lower realms to merge with the fragmented world, waiting for the way of heaven to be complete.

If only that day could come sooner.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, is there any information about the fusion of the upper and lower realms in the opportunity your parents found?"

"No. They only found an introduction to the skills and ghost cultivation. Apart from that, there was only a jade slip left by the senior who arranged this formation. Well, that's it. Be careful. It was written more than 1000 years ago. Things break easily.”

Lin Xiaojiu took out an ancient jade slip from the soul bag. There were countless scratches on the surface.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin!"

Zhong Lingge used the gentlest wood spirit power to hold up the ancient jade slip, suspended it in front of him, and carefully probed into his consciousness to check.

The owner here calls himself Xianyun Sanren and does not know his gender. He only says that due to a mental disorder, he has been unable to advance to out-of-body perfection, so he created a "forest of refuge" for meditation in this wilderness.

The formation here is connected to the terrain of spiritual veins with a radius of thousands of miles. Unless the spiritual veins and mountains and rivers collapse together, the formation will not fail.Idle Cloud Sanren knows that there is no hope of advancement and his lifespan is running out, so he leaves this encounter for those who are destined to explore the forest on their own.

Zhong Lingge thought. The treasure did not have to be a physical object. The opportunity left under the center of the formation might be Xianyun Sanren's formation experience.

There are many opportunities in the realm of cultivating immortals. The experiences left by high-level ancient cultivators during the Tai Chi period are definitely rare opportunities. They are priceless treasures that cannot be bought no matter how many spiritual stones are thrown at them.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, how far is it from the formation center?"

"We are in the last Five Elements Formation. After passing the tree, we will enter the only Four Elephants Formation. Once we walk out of the exit, we will reach the center."

Lin Xiaojiu was simple-minded and had no secrets at all. He pointed to a towering tree in front of him and spoke in great detail.

"The center of the formation is a valley formed by the phantom formation. If we are lucky, we can see the situation elsewhere from the pool! My parents said that maybe because the formation connects this terrain, the pool becomes a reflection of other places. Water mirror.”

"When you practice the formation to the depths, it becomes really mysterious!"

Zhong Lingge had never heard of such a wonderful formation. The formations currently circulating on the market in the lower domain are all fixed formulas. What everyone has learned are familiar routines. The power of the formation depends on the base material and the monk's level.

Most of the monks who know how to study alternative methods are clan elites who have no worries about resources, and their experiences will never be shared with others.

With the help of Zhong Lingge's mantra, it would be easy to study the formations. If he had the flexibility of ancient cultivators, he would definitely be the best in the formations.

"We're here!" Lin Xiaojiu turned around the last fork, and her eyes suddenly opened up. "Look, that pool is the water mirror I mentioned. Do you want to go over and have a look?"

"Okay!" Zhong Lingge wanted to know how Lan Siyue was doing, and whether the casual cultivator Hu Jiufei who had made an appointment with her to form a team was safe.

The two came to the edge of the pool and stood on a huge stone, looking at the calm black water.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, there was still no change in the water surface.

"Well, maybe we don't have the opportunity today." Lin Xiaojiu floated on the water, a little disappointed that his new Taoist friend could not see the interesting scene.

Zhong Lingge had been observing while waiting. The phantom formation here was connected to the outside formation and the entire secret realm. There must be a switch that could activate and deactivate the water mirror.

Either move the formation base, or trigger a certain position of the formation.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you still remember where the water mirror is floating every time you see it?"

"It seems to be where you are standing, a little further to the left and past, yes! Oops! It has appeared!"

Lin Xiaojiu cheered happily and floated over to take a look at the lively scene in the water mirror, and then at Zhong Lingge.

"How do you know it can be turned on like this? And it's so stable once you turn it on. Why do I see it intermittently every time and then disappear after a while?"
