Chapter 414: Acquired Spiritual Root

On the second floor of the library cave, Ye Zitong put the jade slip in his hand back on the bookshelf and shook his head as usual. The other people on the second floor were already surprised by her behavior, and the disciples who often came to the library knew her, and everyone gave her the nickname "The Mortal Who Wanted to Read Through the Immortal Book".

Ye Zitong's eyes swept over the bookshelves on the second floor, she had read all the books on the first and second floors in the past few years, and the one just now was the last one on the second floor.

Ye Zitong's eyes were delusional about the stairs leading to the third floor, and his heart moved, should he take a look at the third floor? The corners of Ye Zitong's mouth curled, why not?

Ye Zitong's footsteps moved lightly to the third floor, and after ten steps, her figure reappeared on the second floor. Ye Zitong closed her eyes and pondered, there was a phantom array between the second and third floors, she had just tried it, and she seemed to have an understanding in her heart, but she didn't know it yet.

In the past few years, Ye Zitong has also read a lot of formation books, and she usually studies one or two in her spare time, but she can only learn by herself, and the progress is very slow, occasionally chatting with wood, and she has learned a lot from side knocking, and the basic principles of the formation are already clear in her chest.

Ye Zitong felt that this phantom array didn't seem to be complicated, after all, this layer of formation was just to prevent Qi refining stage cultivators and mortals from going up, and any foundation building stage monk could see through it.

This library cave was originally open to the inside, and the books stored in it were actually very ordinary in the cultivation realm, and the precious books were all on the main sect's side.

The formation leading to the third and fourth layers was just arranged casually by the elders before the rain, with the intention of trying to be quiet, as long as the disciples had the ability to break the formation, he would not stop them. He wasn't worried that low-level disciples would peek at high-level cultivation techniques and not reach their realm. These disciples couldn't understand the contents of the book at all, and they couldn't read it in vain.

Ye Zitong was not in a hurry, and walked back to the bookshelf on the second floor to get a jade slip. Pretended to look at it. After a while, a monk came up from below, and seeing the fluctuations in the aura on his body, Ye Zitong concluded that this was most likely a foundation building period monk.

The monk really didn't stay on the second floor, his footsteps kept walking towards the third floor, and Ye Zitong immediately separated a piece of divine consciousness and attached it to the monk's back. Ye Zitong's divine consciousness had already deteriorated due to the influence of the Women's Sutra, and this foundation building monk didn't notice that someone was spying on him.

Ye Zitong attached a wisp of divine consciousness to the monk's back. Seeing his method of breaking the formation, combined with her own experience when she passed the formation just now, she carefully analyzed the details of this formation.

Later. A few more foundation building monks went up to the third floor, and Ye Zitong concocted it in the same way, and after experiencing it several times, he finally mastered the mystery of this phantom array.

Ye Zitong smiled slightly. Put the jade slip back on the shelf. Walk towards the third floor with your hands behind your back.

Among the people reading on the second floor, some people noticed Ye Zitong's movements, but they just pursed their lips in disdain, raised their eyelids slightly, and squinted in the direction of the stairs, waiting for Ye Zitong to appear there again. The ridicule on the corners of these people's mouths was ready, just wait for Ye Zitong to appear and throw it directly to her. It's a pity that this time, for some reason, they waited left and right, and Ye Zitong didn't appear.

Two hours later. Ye Zitong appeared at the staircase on the second floor with a smile on his face, and the few monks who noticed that Ye Zitong had gone up to the third floor were like ghosts. I was so shocked that my jaw dropped.

Ye Zitong scratched his head a little embarrassedly and muttered quietly, "" It turns out that the method taught by Senior Brother Dongfang is really effective. ”

Although Ye Zitong's voice was small, the monk's ears were clear, and these words naturally fell into their ears. Several people looked at Ye Zitong's figure, with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Ye Zitong observed the reactions of the monks behind him with his divine sense, and stuck out his tongue in his heart, Senior Brother Dongfang, don't blame me for borrowing your name.

The jade slips on the third floor of the library cave are really much higher and deeper than the two floors below, and the exercises and the like are useless to Ye Zitong for the time being, and there are also a lot more jade slips in other side miscellaneous categories such as talismans, formations, alchemy, refining tools, and so on.

In these categories, Ye Zitong currently wants to learn formations, and for her, the formations are currently the most useful. Coupled with the fact that she had just comprehended the phantom array from the second to the third layer, Ye Zitong felt in her heart that she should be a little talented in the formation, after all, she was also self-taught.

Ye Zitong had the intention to take away a copy of the three-layer jade slips related to the formation, but it was too easy to arouse suspicion when she thought about it, she could go up to the third layer was enough to surprise others, if she copied the three-layer jade slips away, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.

Thinking of this, Ye Zitong pressed the ** who wanted to take the jade slip back to study, so he could only run to the third floor every day, trying his best to remember the content in the jade slip in his mind.

The content of the three-layer jade slip is even more obscure for Ye Zitong now, but fortunately, she has patience, even if she can't understand the content, write it down, and then think about it slowly.

After a few days, in addition to practicing martial arts and archery, Ye Zitong was completely immersed in the way of formation. She also took the opportunity to go to find wood a few times and asked a few questions that she couldn't figure out.

In the busyness, half a month has passed, and the people near the magic mountain have ushered in the first day of the new year.

On this day, everyone up and down the Demon Mountain was like a great enemy, and Wan Longqi personally went to invite the ancestor of the Li family, another Jindan period elder of the Lishan Sect, and Elder Li also arrived in the Demon Town.

Ye Zitong went to the Lin Mansion early in the morning, the Lin family began to close the door early in the morning, the eldest aunt and Lin Shuang looked at the little brother Lin together, the big sword and the eldest uncle arranged the patrol matters in the house, and Tingmei followed the physical cultivators to patrol the mansion.

This time, the big sword arranged four body cultivators in the Lin Mansion, and took a lot of spiritual objects from the store, and the family members each had one, and formations were also arranged everywhere in the mansion.

Ye Zitong also contributed his magic circle and personally arranged it in Lin Xiaodi's room. Ye Zitong practiced the Women's Sutra and was sensitive to the vitality of heaven and earth, coupled with her recent research on the way of formations, the magic array she arranged was a little more powerful than usual.

The old woman sneered, "Just because you want to kill me?" Hmph, I read that it is not easy for you to cultivate into a golden pill, so I sent the storage bag strangely, and I am happy to spare your life. ”

Elder Li didn't bother to move his tongue again, so he directly slapped the storage bag and sacrificed the magic weapon to attack the woman.

The woman suddenly smiled strangely, and slapped her palm on the young man in front of her. I saw that the young man's body suddenly shrank into a ball and smashed towards Elder Li.

Elder Li flicked his long sleeves, and a stream of spiritual power rolled towards the young man's body, and suddenly the young man's body exploded without warning. It turned into a cloud of blood mist and shrouded the top of Elder Li's head.

Ye Zitong looked at the battle in the air, and was shocked in his heart, isn't this young man and the old woman together? But how she looked at it felt weird.

The crowd below looked at the aerial monk's fighting method, and at first they were mostly curious, but when they saw the young man die in an instant, they were all shocked, and the crowd fled in all directions in horror.

Ye Zitong also knew that it was too dangerous to stay in the monk's fighting ground. With a light luck, he ran to the Lin Mansion, not forgetting to separate a wisp of divine consciousness and stay in place.

The old woman's eyes flashed strangely when she saw that Elder Li had easily blown away the blood mist. A layer of blood glowed around his body. After the blood light dissipated, there was still the figure of an old woman in the air, and the one standing opposite Elder Li was clearly a short man.

This man Ye Zitong is very familiar, and he is the evil cultivator who kidnapped people half a month ago.

Wan Longqi looked at the short man in the air. I hate it so much that I want to crush the roots of my teeth. It was this man who made him one-armed. Wan Longqi had the intention to help Elder Li, but he knew that he was not a man's opponent at all, and he might cause chaos if he stepped forward, so he only stared at the figure of the evil cultivator fiercely, and secretly ordered his subordinates to arrange the formation according to the previous agreement.

The monk's fighting method was not small, and the people in the town closed the gate one after another when they saw that the situation was not good, and Ye Zitong rushed directly from the wall into the Lin Mansion. It scared the Lin family a lot.

Elder Li and the evil cultivator were fighting in the air, and the spiritual power fluctuations affected the following. The houses near the widow's house were razed to the ground, and a deep pit was blown out of the ground.

While the evil cultivator's attention was attracted by Elder Li, five monks quietly climbed onto the roofs of the surrounding houses, and these five monks held a treasure similar to a golden bowl in their hands.

Seeing that the five monks were already in place, Elder Li took out another golden bowl magic weapon from his bosom. Elder Li recited a mantra, and the mantra in his hand struck the golden bowl together, and the golden bowl shook and flew to the top of the evil cultivator's head.

The golden bowl was upside down on the top of the evil cultivator's head, and the golden light burst out, and the evil cultivator's body became a little distorted under this light, and he screamed violently and pierced the sky, echoing throughout the town in bursts.

The five monks who had gone up to the roof also sacrificed the golden bowl in their hands at this time, and the five small golden bowls echoed with the large golden bowl in the middle, enclosing the place where the evil cultivator was located into a closed space, and Elder Li had already flown away from this space at this time.

The evil cultivator was trapped, and scolded Elder Li for being insidious, and Elder Li sneered a few times, "As an evil cultivator, I still scold others for being insidious, and today I will let you taste what retribution is." ”

"Go" Elder Li shouted, and the spiritual power on his body frantically surged towards the golden bowl in the middle, under the influence of the golden bowl in the middle, the six golden bowls were getting closer and closer, and the space for evil cultivators to struggle was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Elder Li pinched his fingers and pointed at the golden bowl, and the golden light emitted by the six golden bowls became more and more intense, as dazzling as the scorching sun.

The evil cultivator couldn't support it anymore, his body turned into ashes with a bang, and a wisp of Yuan Shen flew up from it, trying to break through the encirclement of golden light, and the big golden bowl in the middle suddenly flashed a burst of red light, and the Yuan Shen was directly included in the bowl.

The evil cultivator was destroyed, and all the monks present breathed a sigh of relief, Elder Li had already collected the golden bowl back, "This evil cultivator cultivates with the life of a mortal, and today I accepted him, and I will sacrifice his soul on my behalf, so that he will never be reborn, so as to comfort the souls of the dead people in the sky." ”

Ye Zitong watched the evil cultivator being destroyed with his divine sense, and his heart was happy, but he was a little hesitant, he always felt that this evil cultivator was destroyed a little simple, it is said that even if this evil cultivator's cultivation is not as good as Elder Li, it should not be so vulnerable, and the blood lantern that the evil cultivator took out last time did not appear this time.

It's just that this happened too quickly, from Elder Li discovering the young master and servant, to the old woman turning into a short man and being destroyed, all this happened too quickly, and Teach Ye Zitong didn't have time to think about it, so he could only temporarily suppress his doubts in his heart.

The monks invited by the head of Li eliminated the evil cultivators, and the people of the demon town beat gongs and drums to tell each other, the gloomy clouds and mist dissipated, and every household opened the gate and gathered at the mayor's mansion with a smile.

After some deliberation, everyone elected the mayor of the town to thank Elder Li on behalf of everyone, but this time there was only verbal thanks, the last time in order to raise a thank you gift to Wan Longqi, the town has already made a lot of blood, and Elder Li is a real person in the Jindan period, if you want to give him a gift, I am afraid that the price will be a hundred times higher than the gift to Wan Longqi.

The mayor of the town has dealt with the monks a lot in the past few years, and he knows that even if he sells the entire demon town, he can't afford to buy a gift for Elder Li, so he can only give a false thanks, although it is a false courtesy, but the whole town is sincere.

Elder Li looked at the town mayor, not knowing what he was thinking, after a long time, he suddenly smiled, and said very kindly, "The town mayor doesn't need to be more profitable, it is estimated that this evil cultivator has not much time to cultivate the evil skill, so that he can be killed in the next time." I have received the hearts of the people in the town, let's not talk much about the false courtesy, there is a matter of asking for each other, I don't know if the mayor can agree? ”

When the mayor heard this, he was surprised and frightened in his heart, he didn't know what Elder Li wanted, although he was very grateful to Elder Li for punishing evil spirits, but the fear of the monk's great supernatural powers was always difficult to suppress, so he had to bite the bullet and say yes.

Elder Li spoke to the mayor of the town for an hour before the sword left, Li'er Mountain and the Magic Mountain were separated by a hundred miles, and this distance was only a snap of a finger for the Jindan period real person who could fly the sword.

Seeing Elder Li away, the mayor of the town sighed, originally thinking that Elder Li would make some harsh requests, but he didn't expect that he just asked the mayor to build an ancestral hall for him, and the incense could not be broken day and night.

This requirement was well realized, and every household in the town contributed, but the ancestral hall was built in three or four days. Elder Li's ancestral hall is located in the west of the city, called the Zhuyi Temple, the ancestral hall enshrines Elder Li's immortal tablet, and many people come here every day to burn incense and pray.

Over time, it has become a very famous ancestral temple nearby, and the incense is very vigorous, so that later, it has had a great impact on the demon town, but this is all a later story.

After the evil cultivator was punished, the demon town returned to its previous liveliness.

Ye Zitong looked at the people coming and going on the street, and there was always a faint uneasiness lingering in her heart, but she couldn't tell the reason for the uneasiness, let alone tell others, she could only secretly hope that the uneasiness was just her unfounded worry.

It is said that Elder Li, as a true person in the Jindan period, didn't find anything abnormal about that evil cultivator, so there should be no problem, unless. A thought flashed in Ye Zitong's heart, and he immediately shook his head, no, that evil cultivator has only appeared in the demon town for a few months, and it is impossible for his cultivation to be higher than Elder Li.

Although he had a hidden feeling in his heart, Ye Zitong's life was still normal, going to the bottom of the mountain every day to practice martial arts, coming back to practice bows and arrows, and the rest of the time he was soaking in the third floor of the library cave to study the formation jade slip.

Ye Zitong does have some talent for the way of formation, plus she likes to study formations, for a while, although she still can't make formations, she has a thorough understanding of all the formation principles mentioned on the Jade Slip of the Book Cave.

Now Ye Zitong has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge of the formation, but she lacks practice, she also thought about making a magic circle, but making a magic circle requires array beads, array flags, town plates and other equipment, she wants to buy these things, but she really can't think of any excuse to cover up this matter, the women's scripture and the vitality of heaven and earth are to be kept secret, and she can't think of a good excuse, she has to temporarily suppress the idea of hands-on practice.

Ye Zitong sometimes couldn't help sighing, although she had a lot to do on the Demon Peak, her freedom was too restricted, she must go to the Earth Demon Cave in the future, and with the acquired spiritual root, she could get rid of the shackles of the Lishan Sect. (To be continued......)
