The clock went to six o'clock in the morning.

The rising sun leaps from the east, reflecting the sparkling waves of the entire Shanglin Lake at the foot of the mountain.

Ji Yiming and Ying Xingtian stood side by side on the boulder on the peak and looked down, only to feel that the scenery was boundless, as if they could see the Yue kilns that were all over it thousands of years ago, and countless skilled craftsmen were in the curling green smoke during the walk...... Pieces of fine celadon are fired.

"Look at the lake down there, and the movement of the mountains everywhere, what does it look like?"

Shanglin Lake is connected by six or seven different hills, and many narrow water systems are meandering at the end of the lake, but what does it look like...... Ji Yiming tried to imagine for a while, but he always felt that it was quite far-fetched.

"Don't just look at this lake. Ying Xingtian carried his hands behind his back, and the mountain wind blew the windbreaker on his body: "Since you have studied the Cixi County Chronicles, you should know that this piece below is the Yue kiln celadon production area." There are at least 120 ruins from Shanglin Lake to Gushangao Lake, Du Lake and Guyinding Lake, what if you combine them together?"

Ji Yiming expanded his gaze further as he said. The "Taiyi Longevity Formula" mental method was moved, and the few remaining internal breaths naturally flowed to several key acupuncture points near the eyes, and only then did he barely see the whole range of Ying Xingtian's words.

Four lakes and more than 10 hills.

At the foot of the boulder at the summit of Mt. Quero, the rising sun in the early morning is reflected, forming a breathtaking beauty.

The green mountains are like cloth, and the lake is picturesque.

By the way, if you look at it in combination.

His heart moved slightly, and he finally discovered the secret that Ying Xingtian said: "The four lakes are combined with the mountains and the scattered ruins of the ancient Yue kiln...... This is like the Yue kiln celadon tray unearthed in the Jin Dynasty, the famous treasure pattern decoration?"

It's just more natural and complex.

The page before the memorabilia of the main text of "Cixi County Chronicles" was printed with this precious unearthed cultural relic, and Ji Yiming also compared it with the physical photos in "Yue Kiln Celadon Appreciation", which would be so impressive.

(So this is the third secret hinted at in the clues left by Jiang Zhiyou?) It's too subtle, if it weren't for being taken to the top of the mountain by Ying Xingtian and a direct hint, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found it for the rest of my life.) ）

(Leaving clues but hiding each one so secretly, why?)

As he was thinking to himself, the former nodded, "Yes, very keen." However, in the eyes of the secular world, this kind of ornament is a cultural relic and an aesthetic in the eyes of our cultivators...... It's a formation. ”

"The formation corresponding to cultivation?"

"The key part is incomplete, but it is indeed a formation. Ying Xingtian got down from the boulder and walked down the mountain without looking back: "It's not even an ordinary formation, it's probably the one that can correspond to all cultivation paths in various classics.

Stimulate the energy of any gem and gather the great unified formation of all rivers and seas. ”

Ji Yiming also hurriedly came down and followed him: "The mental method I have cultivated can also correspond?"

"If you find it, you can. Ying Xingtian glanced back at him: "According to the practice of excavating various ruins over the years, there must be an undiscovered hidden place in the entire Shanglin Lake Ancient Yue Kiln Ruins. There are at least three or four forces that have been searching here for several years, before Jiang Zhiyou's disappearance...... The one that is closest to the truth. ”

Jiang Zhiyou, who has been teaching at Hanzhong University for less than a year, is indeed the same as Ying Xingtian in front of him, often absent from school for ten and a half days. Now that I think about it, I think it's all about exploring this place and looking for ruins.

"I was the last person Jiang Zhiyou came into contact with before she completely disappeared?"

"That's why there are so many hidden forces vying to control you. Perhaps in order to take care of Ji Yiming, who had begun to lack internal breath, the road down the mountain was much slower than before: "Recently, someone found a batch of gems used by ancient cultivators in a kiln burning site near the ancient silver ingot lake—in the entire Shanglin Lake area.

At the moment, at least three or four cultivator forces have gathered. ”

The two walked all the way down the hill and got back into the Rolls-Royce Gust.

Ji Yiming hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help but ask, "Then ...... you?"

"I'm certainly one of them. Moreover, it is the most powerful of all forces. Ying Xingtian smiled,

took out a metal disc from his bosom and threw it to the former: "Jiang Zhiyou and I belong to the same organization, Qianlong Yuan. ”

"However, I don't know a lot of things that Xiao Yu did, and we tried to decipher the ruins of this ancient Yue kiln from two different directions. And now it seems that she is at least half a step ahead of me. ”

Ji Yiming finally put his mind at ease and took the metal disc with his hand: "This is?"

"According to the research results made by the terrain formation here, although most of them cannot be regarded as a real unified formation because most of them are missing, it is still somewhat effective only to restore internal breath. Ying Xingtian pointed to the groove in the center of the disc:

"Put the agate you just gave you in. ”

Ji Yiming stuffed the piece of Warring States Red Agate with bright red color and excellent quality into the groove according to his words, and then held the disc under the guidance of Ying Xingtian to silently use the "Taiyi Longevity Formula" mental method, and found that the internal breath, which was already so weak that it was almost undetectable, really began to recover at a clearly visible speed.

Not long after, the driver took the two back to the center of Cixi and stopped in front of a Hangzhou Bay Hotel.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been rich since ancient times.

Although the hotel doorman is accustomed to all kinds of luxury cars, he still showed enough shock to the top model of Rolls-Royce, and when he caught up with the door to open the door, he was stopped by the driver in the black suit, and he turned to open the door to welcome the two of them.

"My lord, this is the best place to find in the city. The driver handed over two room cards, apparently one step earlier to open the room: "There is a Primus under the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, but the distance is too far away......"

"I'm not as particular about Xiaoyou, so let's live here. Ying Xingtian waved his hand disappreciatively, handed one of the room cards to Ji Yiming, and instructed the driver: "Since Xiao You is missing, I will be responsible for everything here for the time being."

Fifteen minutes, notify everyone to come and assemble. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to Ji Yiming: "You need to get a good night's sleep and replenish your strength." Remember to use this array to restore your inner breath - when you wake up, I will take you to meet the members of the Hidden Dragon Yuan stationed here. Whether it's to recover Jiang Zhiyou or unravel the mystery of the ruins of the Yue Kiln, we need your help. ”

The latter hesitated for a moment, but finally took the room card and followed the former to the elevator.

……

……

Ji Yiming has only stayed in hotels three times in his life.

The 1,000-yuan Ace Hotel in Hanzhong City, the 28-yuan small hostel in Shanghai, and the current Hangzhou Bay Hotel, which is obviously not worthy of the identity of Ying Xingtian in the driver's mouth.

This is an executive suite located on the 28th floor of the hotel. It consists of a bedroom, a living room and a cloakroom.

He looked up on the Internet curiously and found that the price of one night was more than 3,000: more than double his current total assets.

——These organizations in the world of cultivators, traveling in luxury cars and staying in luxury hotels, use tens of millions of dollars for cultivation

Even more than a million precious gemstones. Ji Yiming couldn't help but guess where their huge wealth came from while using the array disk given by Win Xingtian to seize the time to recover their internal breath.

The metal array plate should be cast of sterling silver, the whole body is smooth to the back is clearly visible, and the front is engraved with a miniature complex formation with 24K pure gold, and the core is the same as the Jin Dynasty Zhan Tuobao phase pattern, as for the more complex lines around, it is not Ji Yiming can understand.

What he can see is that the research and manufacture of such a array plate requires at least a whole research team and supporting factories at all levels from upstream to downstream. Otherwise, the open mold casting and gilt etching of sterling silver alone cannot be made by hand.

"Qianlong Yuan, what kind of organization is it?"

"With such a strong team strength, I couldn't find any trace of Jiang Zhiyou......" Ji Yiming was worried about his girlfriend's safety,

Not diminished as he learned more and more, he casually flipped through the two books in his hand and leaned back on the bed.

The fancy hotel bed was soft.

He tossed and turned last night so much that he didn't sleep well, and before he knew it, he really lay down and fell asleep.

It was noon when I woke up.

Ji Yiming took the phone and didn't see the missed call, so he got up first and took a shower and changed his clothes, and then noticed that the internal breath of the "Taiyi Longevity Formula" in his body had actually returned to the level before consumption.

There was no growth, but it was already the same as when he had just broken the life level last night, and the limbs and veins were full of faint and warm rising power—compared to the efficiency he had previously estimated to take at least fourteen or fifteen hours to recover, the speed of the Winning Heaven Array was about three times higher.

"It's no wonder that cultivators need to use formations and gems to continue to grow stronger after breaking through the life barrier. ”

It's just that the "incomplete" Great Unification Formation in Win Xingtian's mouth can only help recover and cannot really be used for cultivation, which has already made Ji Yiming feel the gap: Where did the corresponding formation of his own "Taiyi Longevity Formula" go?

As Ying Xingtian said, no matter how precious the gem is, it is just a consumable for these people.

The originally dazzling, dove-blooded Warring States Red Agate in the center of the array was already surrounded by cracks, and the dust fluttered to the ground was no different from ordinary stubborn stones. When he reached for it, it simply shattered into countless black ash powders scattered all over the ground.

"Ding Dong"

The hotel room doorbell is gently ringed.

When the door was opened, the driver, dressed in a black suit and white gloves, stood outside and bowed slightly: "Mr. Ji, my lord ordered me to take you to see him when you wake up, do you need to prepare lunch for you at the same time?"

"No, I don't. Ji Yiming took out a flattened loaf of bread from his schoolbag and swallowed it in two bites: "Take me over." ”

I thought I was going to Yingxingtian's room, but the driver took him all the way to the fourth floor of the hotel and stood still in front of a closed double door.

"My lord, they are waiting for you inside. ”

The driver stood still and didn't follow up, but when Ji Yiming pushed the door, he heard a young voice coming from inside.

"I don't agree! It's just a hairy boy surnamed Ji, and now it's not the ancient era, what about the pure Chinese bloodline of the Yellow Emperor? Is it worth treating him as a treasure one by one? ”

"Jiang Zhiyou was like this at that time, and now you are like this again...... I'm not convinced!"

The surname Ji belongs to the ancient Yellow Emperor, and it is clear from the family tree.

What does pure Chinese blood mean?

It's because of this that you treat me as a treasure one by one?

So Jiang Zhiyu ......

Ji Yiming's heart sank slightly, and he stretched out his hand to push open the door.
