Out of the auditorium, walking on the road leading to another gate of the academy, there are many young people stopping and stopping on the road, judging by their age, it should be the students who have applied for this year's examination to sightsee.

Jing Chen touched the jade pendant around his neck, he had seen the condition, he could sell it for a good price, he had to find a place to pawn it, and this money was the original capital for him to survive in the rune world in the future.

Soon I saw the gate that the enthusiastic student said, and I could see the beast carts lined up in an orderly manner from a distance. The rune beast was as strong as a rhinoceros, and its body was bulky, which made people doubt how fast it could move.

Jing Chen was about to pass, when suddenly, a strange fragrance burst into his nose.

Looking to the side, you can faintly see a path in the dense woods, and the fragrance is coming from it, which is very faint, and it will be missed or mistaken for the fragrance of flowers.

Jing Chen knew that it was not a floral fragrance, but an elixir, which was specially used for bone cutting and marrow washing.

Judging from the strong aroma of Cheng Dù, this Lingxin Pulp Cleansing Grass has been hot for about 180 years, and taking it directly can help him break through to the late stage of the second layer of bone shaping, and the effect of practicing the pill is better.

Jing Chen hesitated, seeing that the gate was in front of him, and the beast cart rushing to freedom was also in front of him, his footsteps stopped for a while.

A moment later, Jing Chen gritted his teeth and burrowed into the woods.

If he doesn't enter the tiger's den, he will get the tiger, and when he breaks through to the peak of the second layer of the Divine Cultivation Technique, he may not have the strength to fight with Ling Yi, and this risk is worth taking.

The woods are remote and secluded, and there is no road after walking for a while.

Following the fragrance, he could only know the general direction, but this was too time-consuming, and Jing Chen couldn't, so he had to consume some True Yuan to make four puppet branches, and scattered around to investigate.

The puppet branch man is made by Zhenyuan, and the power of the ribbon puppet man is more stable than that made by the rune, and the exploration direction is also large, and the four of them act together, and soon there are clues.

Jing Chen decisively cut off the connection with the other three, and concentrated on walking towards the puppet who found the spiritual heart marrow washing grass.

The academy is built in the mountainous area of the Black Cloud Mountains, and the building complex forms a crescent-shaped, which the defense force of the academy cannot take care of in many places, especially the "crescent" tip where the two gates are located.

The place where Jing Chen arrived was outside the defense range of the academy, it was a steep cliff, different from the ordinary terrain, the steep cliff slope level progressed upward, the higher the slope, the more it formed, and it was about to form the appearance of steps, with stages, it could be done in six grids.

The spirit grass that Jing Chen was looking for was at the top of the second grid, which was not very high, but it was difficult for ordinary people to reach it without the help of foreign objects.

There is a small forest, and the bustle outside the academy does not affect here, and the movement here naturally cannot be transmitted.

Jing Chen visually measured the distance between himself and the Lingxin Pulp Cleansing Grass, and unexpectedly found that this cliff was really a treasure land, in addition to the Spiritual Heart Pulp Cleansing Grass, there were also a few herbs suitable for refining Pei Yuan Dan and Yi Qi Dan, although the year was a little worse, it was better than nothing.

Jing Chen walked to the bottom of the cliff and took out the ribbon puppet man from his arms.

That's right, he was the puppeteer he made when he first came to this world, and he didn't forget to take it out the second time he climbed the wall.

With his current true yuan and physical strength, it is a bit reluctant to pick the spiritual heart marrow washing grass, if he uses a tree branch puppeteer, it may damage the spiritual grass when picking, and if he is replaced with a ribbon puppeteer, the spiritual sense consumption is large, but it can minimize the damage to the spiritual grass.

The driving force of the ribbon puppet man is still rune, and Jingchen has an epiphany in the morning, and the already small rune power in his body is even more pitiful, so in desperation, he has to convert the rune power into true yuan first, and then drive the puppet man to the cliff.

Jing Chen's range of controllable puppets is at the middle end of the third cliff, and the Lingxin Washing Grass grows on the second ladder, and the picking process is quite smooth.

By the way, a few mature plants next to it were also picked, and the ribbon puppet came back with the herbs tied, leaving only the lower end of the leg as a foot, jumping down one by one.

Jing Chen put away the herbs, checked the completeness, took off his robe and put it away. Just as he was about to leave, his heart suddenly moved, and his footsteps turned to another place.

It is a place with dense shrubs under the cliff, the leaves are verdant, tender and green, and if you feel it slightly, you can feel that the aura here is much higher than the surroundings.

Jing Chen's spiritual sense probed and found that the spiritual energy in this place spread upwards along the mountain, and the place where he passed by happened to be the place where the spiritual grass grew.

There must be demons at the extremes of things!

Jing Chen was not in a hurry to leave, although Xiuzhen is interested in talent, opportunities are equally important, according to the current aura of the rich Cheng dù, there must be a heavy treasure here.

Following the aura to explore, Jing Chen walked up along the lower end of the rock wall, pushing aside the dense jungle, and in front of him was a flat wall.

Jing Chen stared and sensed the abnormality of this cliff.

It is an intermediate concealment array, and according to the composition of the runes in this world, it can only be unlocked by at least a four-star array rune master.

Jing Chen adjusted his internal breath and slowly probed into his spiritual sense, although his talisman power and cultivation were not high, but the hidden array talisman tested his own understanding of the Dao, and there would be no rebound of attack power, as a master of refining the array, this kind of Cheng dù was not difficult for him.

Quickly found the center of the formation, got the running line of the refining array, and Jing Chen put his hand on the cliff wall.

The light of the formation activation flashed, and Jing Chen slowly sank into the stone wall and disappeared.

Inside is a cave passage, there are pearls placed at intervals on the corner of the cave, illuminating the cave clearly, and on the cave wall, a rune drawn with black lines is burned on it.

Jing Chen turned his head, and the place where the cave entrance came in appeared in its original form, but there was an extra layer of formation with golden runes on his face.

Jing Chen walked inside, and his eyes fell on the stone wall with black runes.

In front of the stone wall, there is a stone tray with a small hole in the top, and the stone tray is a black liquid, like ink. Look at the stone wall again, the runes are densely distributed, gorgeous and complex, and if you look closely, you feel that there is no harmony, a fly in the ointment, as if a part is missing.

Jing Chen stopped in front of the first talisman and looked at the talisman to figure out the intention of the person who created the cave.

The rune diagram is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, dense at the top and combed at the bottom, and the central array surrounded by the formation pattern is densely packed, and the top of the diagram is divided into several sections, and it is not famous at all. And because of the special shape of the formation, people with slightly weaker mental power can't even read the picture completely.

The pearls on the corners of the cave glowed with a peaceful and steady light, and the wind whined softly out of nowhere.

After a long time, Jing Chen's fingers were dipped in ink and pointed to the formation diagram.

……

Ling Yi was seated in a row on the rostrum, his human skin mask had been changed, his clothes had also changed, his face was cold, without a trace of expression.

The graduation ceremony of the Black Cloud Middle Talisman Academy invited a lot of famous talismans, some of them were seniors who had gone on to higher education for further study, some were seniors who had established their own hunting team to make a name for themselves, and of course, there were also high-level officials of Black Cloud City who came, such as Shen Moqing, the deputy city lord, the seven-star eight-pattern talisman master, and the wood rune master.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and four of the ten people on the rostrum spoke, and each of them benefited them a lot.

Ling Yi changed his posture, leaned back slightly, stared at the empty seats in the second row of six seats, and caressed the jade ring on his index finger with his fingertips.

"Yo, it's not much, I just miss a little lover?" The old voice in the sea of knowledge laughed, "But he's so stupid, he gave him a chance for nothing, and he hasn't run out of the academy yet." The voice was all exaggerated and exclaimed.

Ling Yi touched the jade ring, "Feel what he's doing." ”

"Hey, boy, are you begging for someone?!" The old man jumped to his feet, "Five years ago, I killed the poisonous dragon Mang, four years ago in the Curling Creek and the Vulture Cliff, three years ago...... Who do you think helped you survive time and time again?! That's how you treat your lifesaver?! ”

The second half of the sentence almost roared, and the voice exploded in the sea of knowledge, and Ling Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes." Ling Yi said nonchalantly, "So what is he doing?" ”

"I'm ......," the old man choked with a mouthful of old blood, "...... How do I know, even if that jade pendant is my previous hiding place, it would be very good to be able to sense the approximate location, and when he walks farther, he won't even be able to sense it......"

Ling Yi listened quietly, his eyes turned to the person who was speaking, it happened to be Shen Moqing, and the other party also saw Ling Yi, the two looked at each other and nodded, which was regarded as saying hello.

"Wait until he leaves the academy and sue me." Ling Yi clasped his hands and closed his eyes to recuperate.

……

Jing Chen pinched the corners of his forehead, and his head was a little swollen.

This is the eighth and last formation he has unraveled.

Although these formations have no power input, they are purely used for the display of array patterns, but the formation diagram drill is extremely draining, and there are eight in a row, and no matter how strong the soul is, it can't bear it.

Jing Chen raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, half tired, half excited.

He can be sure that the strange treasure in the cave is related to the formation talisman, and this is exactly what he lacks the most now, if he can integrate the talisman and the formation knowledge brought by the earth, this will be the foundation for his life in the rune realm.

He had already tasted the sweetness when he unlocked the rune array just now, and he had a vague concept of the rune in his heart, as long as he fully understood the foundation of the rune, it would not be a problem to create his own rune.

As the eighth diagram was unraveled, there was a sound of a stone door grinding against the wall at the end of the passage, as if the mechanism had been touched, revealing a black hole with a box inside, and the boxy style was simple.

Jing Chen stepped forward and reached over.

However, at the moment when the lid opened and closed, a white light flew up violently, and without waiting for the person in front of him to react, it fell straight into the center of the opponent's eyebrows.

Jing Chen's body shook, and there was a heart-rending pain in his brain, as if he had been stuffed with too much at once and was about to explode.

What is it?

Many mystical runes have entered the sea of knowledge, and the strange and indistinguishable lines do not belong to any kind of writing.

Jing Chen endured the pain and didn't let himself cry out, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he reached into the package containing the elixir with trembling hands, took out the spiritual heart marrow cleansing grass, and stuffed it into his mouth indiscriminately.

It was a feeling that he knew all too well.

In his previous life, he was gifted, and his spiritual power was ten times higher than that of ordinary people, but because his strength could not keep up, his head was torn apart for three days, and it was not until he met Master Ling Xuanzi and followed his practice that he improved.

Now, the invasion of foreign treasures into the sea of knowledge has caused the spiritual power to skyrocket, and the strength cannot keep up with the cultivation, and trouble will come.

A hundred years of spiritual heart washing grass into a domineering spiritual power, the place where the body passes is like a devastation, and it is reborn after destruction.

Jing Chen's whole body collapsed to the ground, and the double severe pain in his spirit and * made him finally faint.
