Along the way, the relationship between the four of them has become much closer. Under the deliberate investigation of the three of them, Mu Sanniang revealed a lot of information about Qingcheng and the first brigade they were in. The following is the result that Ye Qingyue summed up when she returned to her residence.

Because there are many minerals in the north, before the beast tide, many scattered cultivators often go deep into the northern wilderness. Qingcheng has become a place where these scattered cultivators gather. In fact, Qingcheng was originally developed in this way. At the beginning, the harvest was rich, and the cultivated casual cultivators settled down on the edge of the Northern Wilderness, relying on the minerals of the Northern Wilderness to survive, and slowly developed into a family of cultivators. Later, there were more families, and there were Qingcheng and the City Lord's Mansion. Qingcheng was originally a place where the forces of scattered cultivation and family forces were entangled, and for a long time, three major families led by the Lin family of the city lord's mansion were formed, and the scattered cultivation alliance also had a branch here. Therefore, the monks in this war zone, with the local scattered cultivators as the main force, supplemented by other small families and sect disciples, although their combat power is good, their temperament is unruly and difficult to control.

At present, Qingcheng has a total of one out-of-body monk, five Yuan Infant stage monks (plus Ye Qingyang), nearly 100 Jindan stage monks, plus ordinary foundation building period disciples, about more than 10,000 people. Sitting in the Tianyin Pavilion Law Enforcement Hall is the first Yin Jian, he is the only out-of-body monk here, but it is Ye Qingchen who is in charge of the overall battle situation. In addition, there is also a Yuan Infant Monk from the Ye family and two Yuan Infant Monks from the Scattered Cultivation Alliance as supplements.

As an external force, the relationship between Tianyin Pavilion and the local forces represented by Sanxiu and the City Lord's Mansion is not very harmonious. Although the two sides are generally the same in their attitude towards the tide of beasts, they have their own lineage. The first brigade is dominated by scattered cultivation forces that are difficult to control. The people here are either dissatisfied with the dispatch and unwilling to be restrained; Either they are outlaws who have provoked enemies outside; Either it's a monk who has no way to break through, is cornered, and intends to fight. These people are strong in battle, but they also regard the rules as if they were nothing and difficult to manage.

And the Tianyin Pavilion and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance are currently unwilling to take over this mess, causing the first team to be self-controlled in addition to participating in the demon beast battle according to the usual practice. In the first brigade, identity is not important. Strength is everything. Fierce and ruthless is a common thing.

She also met the other four male cultivators in the team, all of whom were in the early stage of foundation building, and seemed to be more intimate with Li Cheng in the middle stage of foundation building. And Mu Sanniang and these four people are also faint, but they are more enthusiastic about the three newcomers.

Ye Qingyue saw the situation of the team. The whole team is headed by captain Zhang Heng. But Zhang Heng seems to pay more attention to cultivation. I don't care much about the undercurrents between subordinate players. Before the three of them came. Among the team members, Li Cheng was the center, and the four male cultivators in the early stage of foundation building were attached to Li Cheng, while Mu Sanniang stayed in the team as Li Cheng's lover/person. Now. Mu Sanniang intended to befriend them, and Ye Qingyue guessed that she might have the intention of breaking away from Li Cheng.

She didn't mind forming an alliance with Mu Sanniang, after all, it was impossible for her to cling to Li Cheng, but she didn't intend to respond to her immediately. First, alliances that are too easy to get often make people cheap, and second, she also wants to see Mu Sanniang's sincerity.

After returning to his cave mansion, Ye Qingyue first released the fire squirrel purple spirit. As soon as Zi Ling came out, he complained that the cave was too hot. She had no choice but to set up a small formation called "Four Seasons Like Spring" with spirit stones in the room to ensure that the temperature in the room was suitable.

"Wake me up in three days." Ye Qingyue instructed Zi Ling.

Zi Ling nodded, found a place on the stone bed, and curled up in a ball to sleep.

Ye Qingyue shook her head, and she didn't know how the spirit beast cultivated. Then he sat aside and refined the newly acquired heart guards. Generally speaking, after the monk's magic weapon is refined, it cannot be included in the dantian, and only the natal magic weapon can be placed in the dantian. The state of mind protection was about the size of a child's palm, and after she refined it, she wore it with a piece of golden silk, hung it around her neck, and hung it inside her clothes.

Next, she took out the newly purchased blank array disk from the storage bag, intending to start carving some suitable array disks.

Array mages are also divided into ranks, one to three are low-level array mages, four to six are mid-level array mages, and seven to nine are high-level array mages. The level of the Formation Mage is determined by the assessment of the Formation Mage Guild under the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. This kind of assessment is carried out in the form of depicting the array plate, and the array that can depict several levels is the formation mage of several levels. However, the level of the formation mage does not represent the level of understanding the formation and breaking the formation, in fact, if the cultivation is advanced, people who don't know anything about the formation can also break the formation with brute force. And the depiction of the array needs to be based on the divine consciousness, and with the divine consciousness of the disciples in the foundation building period, the depiction of low-level and middle-level formations can be completed, but the high-level formation is not.

Ye Qingyue hadn't tested his formation mage level, but ordinary low-level formations could be depicted. Now, she has built a foundation and plans to try the portrayal of the mid-level formation.

It's a demon beast to deal with, and this time, she portrays a fourth-level formation thunder array. This is an offensive formation, and after the carved formation is activated with spirit stones, once the pressure is felt, such as being trampled by a demon beast, an explosion will occur. Its power was enough to turn a second-order demon beast into powder. Naturally, this is also a one-time formation. The array plate that depicts this formation can be used to design traps, or it can be directly thrown out after being activated with spirit stones like a talisman.

She first meditated and practiced the Biluo Heart Sutra for a while, and when her heart was clear, she put the array disk in front of her, and her divine consciousness condensed into a needle tip, and the tip was infused with spiritual power, and evenly drew spiritual patterns on the array disk. In this process, the spirit pattern must be smooth and coherent without interruption, otherwise, the depiction will fail, and the entire array will no longer be usable. When the last stroke was completed, a phantom of a thunder circle flashed on the array disk for a moment, and then disappeared. This is a sign of the success of the formation portrayal.

Ye Qingyue stayed in the cave mansion for three days, and consumed the blank array disk she bought. A total of 30 lightning arrays have been completed, and the success rate is less than 30%. But in general, this success rate is quite good. The low success rate has always been one of the main reasons why array discs are expensive. For ordinary low-level formations, the price ranges from tens to a thousand spirit stones, and fourth-level formations require thousands of spirit stones. And the Thunder Array, because this is a one-time formation, I haven't seen anyone sell it in the market. These array plates, she intends to use as hole cards, will not be used easily until she has to. After all, after the explosion. At the same time, the materials on the monster's body were also gone.

Three days later, she opened the cave and walked out of the door. It was early afternoon, and the cave was silent. The hot and dry air poured into his nose, and the purple spirit on his shoulder pinched his nose with his front paws in disgust.

Ye Qingyue asked, "But do you want to go back to Biluo?" ”

Zi Ling flicked his tail and said, "Zi Ling accompanies the master." ”

Ye Qingyue smiled, and her mood relaxed for a while.

Today is the appointed day to take the sword. She released a crescent moon flying boat at the mouth of the valley and flew towards Fang City.

As last time, he collected the flying boat at the gate of Fang City, hid the purple spirit in Biluo, and handed over five spirit stones. Bought a mask and put it on. Came to the place where I bought my heart goggles last time.

The shopkeeper with the mask looked at the jade talisman in Ye Qingyue's hand as a voucher, turned around, took a vermilion wooden box off the shelf, and handed it to Ye Qingyue. Congratulations: "Wood attribute flying sword." High. Top-grade, Taoist friends are lucky. ”

Ye Qingyue opened the wooden box and saw a clear and radiant blue-green long sword lying horizontally in the wooden box. She took her sword out. Seeing that the sword body is translucent, like a good cold jade, the fingertips flick, there is a sonorous sound, it is indeed as the shopkeeper said, the quality is good.

Ye Qingyue asked, "Does this sword have a name?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "This sword is like cold jade, and the sound is like flowing water, so it is called 'Quanyin'." ”

"Good name!" Ye Qingyue praised, paid the balance happily, and asked, "Do you refine magic robes?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I've always only used tools. ”

Ye Qingyue was a little regretful, she still had a lot of golden silk there, and she was planning to make it into a magic robe to give it away, but now she had to go elsewhere to take a look.

However, after traveling all over the city, he failed to find a suitable refiner. Ye Qingyue had no choice but to leave Fang City and take a crescent moon boat to Qifang to take a look.

The flying boat flew for a while, and suddenly remembered that she didn't know the location of the instrument workshop. At this time, the flying boat happened to pass through a valley, and Ye Qingyue saw that there were people in the valley, so she lowered the flying boat at the mouth of the valley, intending to go in to find someone and ask for directions. At this moment, a delicate voice sounded from behind him.

"Senior Sister Ye! Is that you? ”

Ye Qingyue turned around and saw Yunlu and a girl in blue standing on the side of the road, looking at her in surprise.

"Senior Sister Yun!" Ye Qingyue greeted with a smile.

"It's really you!" Yunlu pounced, hugged her arm, and choked up, "Senior Sister Ye, fortunately you're fine." The last time I saw you have an accident, I was so worried. The day before yesterday, a message came from your family, saying that you were safe, and my heart was at peace. She raised her head, wiped her slightly red eyes with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I made you laugh, no, I heard that you were here, and I came here yesterday." ”

Seeing the old man, Ye Qingyue was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Thank you for remembering, it is also dangerous, my brother and I are fine." ”

"This little guy is your spirit animal?" Yunlu asked, pointing to the fire squirrel sitting on Ye Qingyue's shoulder.

"Yes! It's called Purple Spirit. Ye Qingyue said.

Seeing Yunlu staring at it, Zi Ling raised his front paw and waved it, which could be regarded as a greeting.

"What a clever little guy!" Yun Lu praised it, and took a bottle of pill and sent it to Zi Ling, who waved his claws and put the pill into the storage bag.

Ye Qingyue said with a smile: "This little guy, every time he coaxes people, the pill is like this.

Yunlu laughed for a while, pulled Ye Qingyue to the woman in blue, and said, "This is my senior sister, Du Ruo." ”

Ye Qingyue saluted and said, "I've seen Senior Sister Du!" ”

The woman in blue smiled unnaturally and politely said "Senior Sister Ye".

It's a cold beauty! Ye Qingyue thought and asked Yunlu: "You live here?" ”

Yunlu nodded and said, "Yes!" This is the Danfang, and I am an alchemist, so I was assigned here. Let's go, go to my room and sit down! ”

Ye Qingyue said: "It's okay! ”

Yunlu stuck out his tongue a little apologetically at Du Ruo: "Senior sister, I'll look for you later." ”

"Okay, there you go!" The woman in blue nodded at her.

After saying goodbye to Du Ruo, Yunlu pulled Ye Qingyue and walked towards the depths of the valley.

Ye Qingyue was not polite to her, and followed her into a spacious cave.

As soon as the bead curtain at the entrance of the cave was opened, a girl in white came out and saluted the two: "Hello Miss! Hello Miss Yip"

Ye Qingyue saw that she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was a tenth-level cultivator in the Qi refining period, and couldn't help but look at Yunlu suspiciously.

Yunlu nodded at the girl and said, "Senior Sister Ye, this is the maid waiting by my side, Baizhu, and also my medicine boy." It's just the two of us. ”

Ye Qingyue asked the woman in white: "Do you recognize me?" ”

"When the sect was in a big competition, Baizhu saw Miss Ye once, and Miss Ye was still young at that time."

Ye Qingyue smiled, she was only nine years old at that time. He took a bell-shaped magic weapon from the jade pendant in storage, handed it to Baizhu, and said, "Your master is not short of pills, so I'll give you this gadget." ”

It was a mid-level magic weapon, and it was rare for a disciple in the late stage of Qi cultivation. Ye Qingyue is used to rewarding people with pills, and this magic weapon is still left by Ye Xinlan at the beginning. Similar low-level and middle-level magic weapons, when she was in the secret realm, Ye Xinlan refined a lot of them for her, and they were all stored in the storage jade pendant.

Yuanying Monk made a move, even if it was a mid-level magic weapon, it was also a high-quality product. Bai Zhu happily took it and saluted again: "Miss Xie Ye's reward!" ”

Yunlu stretched out his hand to Ye Qingyue and said, "Is there any mine?" ”

Ye Qingyue quipped: "Do I want to send my brother away?" ”

You girl! Yunlu said angrily, blushing slightly.

"Okay, okay, the gift is indispensable for you." Ye Qingyue took out a necklace made of purple pearls from the storage bag and said, "This is a unique soothing purple bead in Bailuzhou, which can see through the general illusion." Even in Egret Island, it is also regarded as a treasure by the local family. "Although there is also a foreign trading house in Bailuzhou now, it is for Blue Star Iron, and it is rare like the Tranquility Purple Pattern Pearl, and it is not sold to the outside world. These in Ye Qingyue's hand were still given by Lan Qi in order to thank her for healing Zhang Zui.

Yunlu is naturally a knowledgeable person, and said happily: "Really give it to me?" ”

"Nature."

Yunlu took the necklace, received the storage jade Perry, and said, "Thank you, next time I go out to practice, I must remember to bring you a gift." ”

"I'll remember." Ye Qingyue nodded.

At this time, Baizhu brought tea. The two sat opposite each other.

Yunlu asked, "Why did you go to Bailuzhou?" He felt a little speechless, and added, "I'm sorry, I'm just a little curious, if I can't say it, it's okay." ”

Ye Qingyue took a sip of tea, the temperature was just right, and when she heard it, she said, "It's okay, there's nothing you can't say." My brother and I were actually swallowed by the Chiba duckweed, and later, the Chiba duckweed died, and my brother and I drifted to Egret Island. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Yunlu didn't believe it.

"Of course not." Ye Qingyue smiled and told her experience in the body of Chiba duckweed, but the protagonists of the story became her and Ye Xiao, and they hid the matter of Biluo Space. ”

When the words fell, I saw Yunlu's eyes wide open and looked at her in amazement.

"It's not easy for you to come back alive!" (To be continued......)
