Ling Xia and Shangguan Miao, who were originally just "guests", became the people of Ming Province Valley, and the valley quickly calmed down again, and everyone still took improving their cultivation as their first priority.

For people like them, if they want to gain a foothold in Kyushu, it is essential to have enough high-level monks to sit and deter. Now although the two valley masters in the valley have gone through some twists and turns, they also have the cultivation of Jindan in the middle and late stages, and it is enough to put it on the border of Miaozhou, but it is above the entire Kyushu, especially compared with the top forces in Kyushu, it is not enough to make a splash.

Xiao Luo wanted to change and improve the big array outside the valley, and it was not easy to retreat for the time being, so he drove Xue Yu first.

Two months later, the large array outside the valley was completed, and this was still because they were now very "poor" and many spiritual materials could not be found at hand, otherwise the time for this completion could be brought forward a little earlier.

Xue Yun is not proficient in the formation, Xiao Luo's formation, she can still understand it if it is simpler, and the big array in front of her that obviously condenses his unknown amount of hard work is Xiao Luo put the complete formation diagram in front of her, and she can't understand it.

However, she could vaguely see a little shadow of the closed array that Qishan had returned to in Su Town. There is even a little trace of the secret land of Wonju Jiujing.

Xiao Luo took refuge in Qingzhou for half a year, and it seems that he has gained some during this period, and a lot of it has been used in the mountain protection array outside the valley today, plus the inspiration from the many high-level formation enchantments he has seen before, this formation that has been brought together is completely comparable to the protection of the place where the top forces above Kyushu are located.

On the third day after the completion of the Great Array, Ling Xia took two jade talismans the size of half a palm and left the Ming Provincial Valley and set off to return to Naozhou.

Fang Ye was still in Nayan Prefecture, and regarding the matter of Ming Province Valley, Ling Xia planned to go back and talk to him in person.

Due to the need for a long-term retreat in the Jiujing Secret Land in Naught Prefecture, Fang Ye would not be able to come to settle in the Ming Province Valley in Miao Prefecture in the next three to five years, so Ling Xia would not stay in the Ming Province Valley all the time and stay behind closed doors.

After thinking about it again and again, when Xiao Luo asked Ling Xia to leave with the jade talisman, he also gave her a task.

Gather people.

Whether it's a desperate monk, a child with cultivation endowments, or an ordinary person in need of shelter.

If there is no problem with the mind, you can bring people to the Ming Province Valley.

The Ming Province Valley needs to be strengthened, and it is not easy for high-level monks to collect it for a while, but the foundation in the valley can be built as soon as possible.

I had to, Shangguan Miao's arrival gave Ming Shenggu enough confidence.

Nowadays, the major families are gone, and the sect accepts disciples with the foundation as the threshold, and there are exceptions to the spiritual roots. Because the Qingyun recipe that has been spread on the Kyushu Continent is a remnant of the book stolen by Yuan Che, it must be supplemented by the Qingyun Pill, and there are still great hidden dangers, so all the major sects will not choose such a person with the problem of spiritual roots when accepting disciples.

Now, with Shangguan Miao, as the only surviving Shangguan family bloodline, solemnly handing over the True Essence of the Pure Essence to Ming Shenggu for use, the cultivator with mixed spiritual roots is the greatest opportunity for Mingshenggu to snatch talents from under the hands of other sects for the time being.

Not only Ling Xia, who left and returned to Naiczhou, but other people in the valley also received this task, and they paid extra attention when they were not in retreat and walking in the valley.

Xiao Luo was tossing around the big array outside to arrange tasks to manage the affairs of the valley, and when he was so busy, Xue Yuan, who was driven to retreat, was not idle.

With the power of the origin, and having been to the two nine wells in Naught and Yuanzhou one after another, Xue Yun vaguely felt that she seemed to have touched a hint of opportunity. Especially after the more than twenty people who had also stayed in the secret land of Yuanzhou Jiujing and absorbed the chaotic aura there had obviously become a little different, Xue Yuan felt that the little thing she vaguely touched would be very important.

Xiao Luo came back to sit in Ming Province Valley, and she could finally retreat with peace of mind to try to figure it out.

But......

For Xue Yun and Xiao Luolai, not everything can be relieved.

For example, Li Yanning, who doesn't know if everything is fine in Chenzhou now, for example, she has left Moling City in Cangzhou and doesn't know where to go around to talk about Li Yanran, such as Su Run and Zhou Yan, who have not been able to contact her since returning to Qiaozhou......

Not long after Ling Xia left the Ming Province Valley, Xue Yu went out of the customs and pulled Xiao Luo into the conference hall.

"Washing the essence and cutting the marrow?"

Xue Yun nodded at Xiao Luo: "You can also see that everyone who has absorbed the aura there in the Jiujing Secret Land in Yuanzhou that day has improved their qualifications slightly." ”

Xiao Luo leaned against the wall: "Nine wells are secret, but you can't find it." Nowadays, there are only two secret places in Jiujing that we know, one of which is the ...... of Yuanzhou I'm afraid I can't go anymore, the other place is Naughty Prefecture, and your Fang Ye is guarding. You won't ...... Did you move the Ming Province Valley station from Miaozhou to Naozhou?"

"How come?" Xue Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "Stubborn Prefecture is the territory of the Yin Sect, and it is too difficult for us to develop our own power under their noses, although the focus and direction of our plan to recruit disciples are not the same as those of the Yin Sect, but ...... Maybe I'm biased and biased. But from the matter of Ling Xia, I am not too optimistic about the handling and attitude of the Yin Sect, and I am ...... It's not a suitable place for us to survive for the time being. ”

Previously, Ling Xia was a friend of Xue Yuan, and now, Xue Yuan is their own person in Ming Province Valley.

Naturally, the heart is a little biased.

Xiao Luo did not refute Xue Yuan's law that was unreliable because of the Yin Sect, but raised his eyebrows and asked: "Jiujing is distributed in the Kyushu Continent, and each state is not a Yuanzhou, and the Naughty Prefecture cannot be successful, are you ...... Do you want to find the nine wells in Miaozhou?"

Xue Yun paused, his brows furrowed and his expression was a little heavy, but he still shook his head: "I really want to find Jiujing everywhere, but ...... But there is no idea of using Jiujing to secretly urge aura to wash the essence for everyone. Nasty state will not, Miaozhou ...... Even if I find it, I won't. ”

"How?"

"Jiujing is far-reaching, and it affects the safety of the entire Great Thousand Worlds, even if we can trust everyone in the Ming Province Valley now, but ...... The secret land of Jiujing should not be rashly appeared in front of people. ”

"That'...... Do you want to wash the essence of the essence for everyone?"

"Ahem...... In fact, in addition to the chaotic aura of the secret land of Jiujing, in fact, I am the one who knows best, the power of the origin of Jiujing, which is the power that can best improve the physical qualification and melt the spiritual root meridians in this great thousand realms and Kyushu. However, the power of the origin of Jiujing can only be the guardian of the family of Jiujing, and the people in the bloodline support the cherry blossoms, I have simply formed a gathering spirit array in these days and tested it with a small amount of spiritual energy, if I draw the source power out of my body and deliberately guide the surrounding spiritual qi to circulate, I can have a little ...... The effect within the Nine Wells Secret Land, although the transformed aura cannot be compared to the chaotic aura in the Nine Wells Secret Land, but I want to ...... It also has some effect. ”

Xiao Luo's eyes flashed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became so dangerous: "You want to use your origin power to transform your spiritual energy and personally wash the marrow of everyone in Ming Province Valley?"

Xue Yu had already known about this matter, Xiao Luo must have been angry, but although she was anxious to let Ming Shenggu have stronger strength to establish the world, she really never had such thoughts, so she hurriedly waved her hand and explained:

"No, no, how can I be personal? I only have one person, if Ming Shenggu is according to our concept, there will be more and more people in the future, how can I be busy alone......?

"Then you are the lord of the valley. Xiao Luo's face improved a little when she heard Xue Yun's denial, and then her words continued: "Now even the affairs of the valley are not the most important, the most important thing for you is to improve your cultivation to be able to really sit on the side, rather than using yourself as a tool to improve the physique of the disciples who enter the valley one by one. ”

“...... I know, so ......"

"So?"

"That's why I came to you to discuss. ”

Xiao Luo was a little surprised by Xue Yuan's answer, leaned against the wall with his hands on his chest, raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"I still remember when I was in Su Town, when I tried to break the blood sacrifice soul formation, you asked me to use spiritual power to infect the formation stones, separate them everywhere, and then ......"

As soon as Xue Yun mentioned it, Xiao Luo immediately understood her thoughts.

At the beginning in Su Zhen, although he didn't know that Xue Yuan's different power was the power of the origin from Jiujing, Xiao Luo, who had already sensed its suppression of ordinary spiritual power, used Xue Yuan's infestation stone with the power of the origin when he tried to set up a formation to resist the great array of the Breaking Qi Mountain Hui. On the night when Qishan Hui urged the Blood Sacrifice Soul Formation Array, through Xue Yuan's own activation, a small amount of formation stones that had previously been contaminated with Xue Yuan's origin power formed a large array, and the power of Xue Yuan's body, which only had a little bit of origin power on Xue Yuan's body at that time, was maximized.

At present, Xue Yun specially mentioned the situation at that time, I am afraid that it is......

"You want to follow the practice of the time, set up a special formation to use the power of the origin as a guide, and imitate the secret transformation of the aura of the nine wells, so that people can enter and absorb it...... It's like the secret land of Yuanzhou Jiujing?"

Xue Yun laughed: "It's worthy of Xiao Luo, as soon as I mention it, you will understand." ”

Xiao Luo was silent for a moment and sighed: "...... This is not to stimulate the power for others to use for a moment, but to stay with the power of the origin for a long time, and also under the condition that you, the person with the power of the source, do not personally maintain the operation of the formation......"

Xue Yun listened to Xiao Luo's list of difficulties, and added weakly: "It's also welcome... The power of the origin cannot enter the body of a person who is not the bloodline of the Jiujing guardian family, and if it is forcibly incorporated, it will not be able to withstand the explosion and die. Therefore, the power of the origin sealed within the formation can only be tried to be used as a medium for transforming aura, and special attention needs to be paid to it......"

Xiao Luo didn't hold back and glared at Xue Yuan.

Xue Yun laughed, stepped forward and gently grabbed Xiao Luo's arm: "I know this is troublesome and difficult, and I can only provide an idea, what to do depends on our Xiao Dagu Lord." ”

Xiao Luo blinked and sighed: "This is not only difficult, you also think too highly of me." ”

"Our Xiao Luo Xiao Gu Lord of Ming Province Valley can be called the first formation talent in Kyushu today, and others may not be able to do it in this great world, but I believe you will be able to do it. ”

"......" Xue Yun was sincere, and Xiao Luo couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth after hearing it.

"So we Xiao Gu Lord agreed?"

Xiao Luo sighed vigorously, and the expression on his face became a little exaggerated and "melancholy": "No way, Xue Gu Lord personally ordered, where do I dare to disobey? No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it for our Xue Gu Master." ”

Xue Yun pouted: "It's like I'm oppressing you." ”

Seeing Xue Yun turn his head, the little sigh and melancholy on Xiao Luo's face suddenly withdrew: "How could it be? ”

"......" Xue Yun choked for a moment, raised his eyes to see Xiao Luo's hippie smiling face, pursed his lips and suddenly frowned: "I haven't forgotten." ”

"Huh?" Xue Yuan's sudden sentence made Xiao Luo very confused.

"You just wanted to kill me. ”

"Uh...... No, you read it wrong. ”

"Really?"

"Of course! Where do I have the guts!"

"Xiao Luo!"

"Good girl, mine is sincere...... Oops, pain, pain, pain, I was wrong, I was wrong......"

“......”

When Xue Yu easily let go of his fingers, and Xiao Luo frowned and rubbed his waist pitifully, someone came over outside the conference hall.

Xiao Luo's hand rubbing the soft flesh on his waist was suddenly retracted, and the expression on his face became serious again, and Xue Yun couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw it.

The people who came over were Wen Ning and Shangguan Miao.

Xu is affected by the experience over the years, Shangguan Miao is not very good at dealing with people, and most of the time he is left alone. During the days when Shangguan Miao took root in the Ming Province Valley, the person who had the most contact was Wen Ning.

Wen Ning is particularly concerned about Shangguan Miao because of the involvement between the Wen family and the Shangguan family, as well as the dying wish of his grandfather Wen Xian, although the other party is a few years older than him, and he also calls others "Sister Shangguan", but in all matters in the valley, especially in the matter of communicating with other people in the valley, it is Wen Ning who is taking care of Shangguan Miao.

Shangguan Miao entered the valley, and Wen Ning gave Shangguan Miao the matter of the Wen family and Wen Xian, although Shangguan Miao was silent for a long time, he finally treated Wen Ning as usual. It wasn't Wen Xian's fault that what happened a hundred years ago, he was just protecting himself.

Shangguan Miao just knew that Wen Ning was still a little worried about Shangguan Miao a few days ago, and then he gradually let go.

Of course, the rapid easing of relations between the two Rao probably has a lot to do with Yao Lan.

After all......

Sympathy for the sick, sympathy for each other.

In how to quietly avoid Yao Lan's rubbing, Shangguan Miao and Wen Ning quickly established a unique friendship.

"A-Ning, Miao, what's the matter?"

Because of Yao Lan's spread, after more than two months, everyone has become accustomed to calling Shangguan Miao "Miao" with Yao Lan.

In the entire valley of Ming Province, only Wen Ning, who is a few years older than Shangguan Miao, still calls her "Sister Shangguan".

Shangguan Miao is also used to being called by everyone, and he is no longer a little blushing when he hears it at the beginning, but he is used to having a hard face. Hearing Xue Yun ask her, Shangguan Miao's first reaction was to turn his head to look at Wen Ning beside him.

Wen Ning was not ambiguous, and when he opened his mouth, he made it clear what the two of them meant: "Sister Xue, Brother Xiao, when Sister Shangguan was chatting with me just now, I vaguely remember that Sister Xue mentioned it before, I don't know...... Isn't it useful to you. ”

"Oh?"

"In the annex of Chenzhou Loucheng, Sister Shangguan also inquired about some news when she hid in Loucheng with her brother Shangguan nine years ago, including the two scattered cultivators who were persecuted to death in the Loucheng Pavilion nineteen years ago. ”

Xue Yun and Xiao Luo glanced at each other, and they both thought of what they had heard from Uncle Yu about the Dongcheng Pavilion when they were in Loucheng.

'Hmm...... It should be eighteen years ago, in the garden to do some chores to recuperate the wounded spirit stone of the two loose cultivators did not want to offend people, lost their lives, these two little cultivation for the body of a few magic weapons, so there is a lot of noise Many people have seen the movement of the other garden, but then it is not over, scattered cultivation, there is no background, so many years have passed, there is no record, but the people in this building occasionally think of mentioning a few words, sigh for a moment. What happened back then seemed to have something to do with the people of the Feng family, and the old man also heard from people, and the people of the Li family wanted to stand up for those two loose cultivators and at least save people's lives, but it's a pity......

Yu Bo's words more than a year ago, the two of them still remember them clearly.

Wen Ning continued: "Sister Shangguan, she remembers that the two casual cultivators who heard about the accident at that time were a pair of Taoist couples, the male cultivator's surname was Mo, and the female cultivator's surname was Tian. ”

"Mo ...... Field...... Mo...... Field...... Field...... Tian? ......?"
