Chapter 9: The Psychic (1)
I have to say that although Liu Jingzi's strength is mediocre, his execution is still quite strong in some aspects.
The third-floor window that was kicked and shattered by Qi Ran in the Curse Spirit Pavilion yesterday has been replaced with a new one, and the location of the original Spirit Furnace is now displaying an oval ...... Dan furnace.
That's right, because of the special materials required for the Soul Furnace, Liu Jingzi racked his brains and reluctantly got this from Granny Zhou.
Counting up, in the entire Charm Gate, except for Yao Lao, the oldest person now is Granny Zhou, but Granny Zhou is not the elder of the Charm Gate.
In fact, Granny Zhou is not a member of the Charm Gate, she is a guest secretary. I heard the master say that more than 30 years ago, she was the most outstanding alchemist in Changling. It is precisely for this reason that she has become the only guest of the Charm Gate, and she only asks about the sect on weekdays, and she just drills into the refining methods of some pills, and no one knows her life experience, who wants to do this, it is more than thirty years.
However, the old man's personality is a little eccentric, and he is a little picky. Even Qi Ran didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him, which shows that Liu Jingzi really made a bloody investment this time.
Qi Ran smiled and said, "This thing is really good as a living spirit furnace, but senior brother, you use Granny Zhou's alchemy furnace in this place, how will the sect's elixir be refined in the future?"
Liu Jingzi had a bitter face: "I have promised her to change her to a yellow-level high-grade alchemy furnace." ”
Qi Ranle was happy: "You didn't report this matter to the senior brother in charge, with his unstoppable urine, eighty percent of this money can't be reimbursed!"
Liu Jingzi was stunned: "I'll go to Pei Yuan Theory." ”
Qi Ran couldn't help but be amused when he saw this old man, and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, it's important to rebuild the Spirit Furnace first, I'll go back and tell him about this, in short, I won't let you suffer." ”
"Okay!" Liu Jingzi looked suspicious, obviously still considering the credibility of what Qi Ran said.
Qi Ran didn't care about him, and walked to the "Soul Furnace" by himself.
At Qi Ran's request, the surrounding walls were inlaid with three pieces of spirit jade that were the size of a fist.
In order to ensure the normal operation of the Spirit Gathering Array, the wooden planks under it were all replaced with the materials of the thousand-year-old locust tree according to Qi Ran's drawings.
Although the spiritual storage ability of the locust tree is not as good as that of the maple tree, it is much better than the maple tree in terms of the circulation of spiritual power, and the spiritual power finally gathered by the spirit gathering array will eventually be transported to the living spirit furnace, and in this process, the locust tree can be regarded as acting as a conductor.
In fact, spiritual power can be transmitted in any medium, but it is the same as electricity, the conductivity of different mediums is different, and the spiritual power gathered in the spirit gathering array needs to be operated from the locust tree to the living spirit furnace, and it is naturally the material with stronger spiritual guiding ability, the better.
Besides, Qi Ran's cultivation is not much worse than the predecessors who built the Spirit Furnace in the previous generation, and the spiritual power loss in the operation of these formations, that senior can not care about it, but Qi Ran can't.
As for the spirit gathering jade on the wall, it is the hub for Qi Ran to adjust the changes in the spiritual power of heaven and earth. For example, when there is a powerful breakthrough nearby, the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth will become extremely thin, at this time, the spiritual power gathered by the spirit gathering array to the living spirit furnace may not be able to meet the needs of its own operation, and at this time, in order to maintain the operation of the formation, the spiritual power in these spirit gathering jade stones is needed.
As far as the arrangement of the spirit array is concerned, it can be described as extremely vulgar, but so far, Qi Ran can only go so far, his idea is to let the formation work first, and then slowly improve it later.
"What's the problem now?" he asked, looking at Liu Jingzi.
You see, Liu Jingzi hesitated, twisted the trick and punched out a talisman, and the spirit array on the surface suddenly operated, and the almost substantial spiritual power continued to surge towards the living spirit furnace. Judging from the current level of spirit gathering, the spirit gathering array is undoubtedly relatively successful.
Liu Jingzi pointed to the Soul Furnace and said, "In its current form, it is only an hour for the spiritual power to fill the Spiritual Furnace, and the problem now is how to make it stop after the spiritual power is full." ”
Qi Ran had considered this problem before, but because the spiritual power conversion in it was a bit complicated, the only way he could think of was to send a disciple to manually stop the operation of the formation, and he also marked this idea on the drawing, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
Liu Jingzi explained: "Most of the disciples in the sect use talismans at some relatively basic level, with the current level of spirit gathering array, manually stopping the formation requires more skilled techniques, and once there is a mistake or the use of talisman is not standardized, it is likely to lead to the backlash of spiritual power. We elders and the like can do it, but in two months, it will be time for the demon beast to riot, and at that time, there may not even be a left-behind elder in the sect, if something goes wrong..."
Speaking of this, Liu Jingzi's words stopped, but Qi Ran had already realized what he was going to say.
Indeed, the spiritual power gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array is not something that an ordinary disciple can control, if there is an accident, the spiritual veins will be damaged, and in serious cases, it may even lose your life.
This was something he hadn't thought of before.
However, it is not realistic to solve this problem by relying on formations at present.
Someone who can harness this spiritual power without leaving the sect?
Thinking of this, Qi Ran suddenly thought of someone... No, it's a little ghost.
"Senior brother, is the guy who was caught from Longquan Villa five years ago still here?"
Liu Jingzi was stunned for a moment, and Xuan suddenly realized, but after a moment of silence, he was a little embarrassed: "Yes, but that guy was caught by us, I'm afraid it's not easy for him to cooperate obediently." ”
Qi Ran said confidently: "We can give him some hope appropriately, after all, he didn't make a heinous mistake, and after this matter is resolved, as long as he promises not to cause trouble to the world, it is not impossible to let him out." ”
Liu Jingzi's eyes when he looked at Qi Ran changed a little: "Little junior brother, sometimes I think that you are really damaged!"
Qi Ran was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand: "Thank you, senior brother, for the compliment." !”
It is true that Qi Ran's trick is indeed enough damage, and he said that when this matter is resolved, he can let that guy go, but four years ago, as soon as the master left, the charm door was broken, and it is unknown when this matter will be resolved.
This hope is really slim enough!
......
In the entire charm gate, the most magnificent is the Spirit Demon Pavilion, a solemn and solemn ancient building, and the two spine thorn demon stone statues at the door are a little hideous.
The white stone slabs have been paved inside the door, and the two-story pavilion is magnificent, which is incompatible with the despondent and shabby elephant of the whole charm.
Qi Ran was also a little puzzled, when the master was alive, he was so concerned about the renovation of the Spirit Demon Pavilion, and almost every year he had to ask the craftsmen under the mountain to repair it, but the back mountain where he lived was not as dilapidated as the houses of ordinary peasant people.
Entering the Spirit Demon Pavilion, the furnishings inside are somewhat refreshing, and the demon spirit samples are placed in the hall in different forms.
And the spirit demon who was really imprisoned was in the underground spirit prison, seeing the arrival of Qi Ran and Liu Jingzi, creatures with different appearances opened their eyes and looked over vigilantly.
The two of them turned a blind eye to this scene and walked down the glass-enclosed corridor to the deepest part.
In a small room isolated by glass, a creature with a gray body and a little white hair on its head curled up in the corner, glanced at the two of them lazily, licked its little claws, and closed its eyes coldly.
I, Nima! Qi Ran was furious.
Can you not be so arrogant as a prisoner, five years of prison life have not smoothed your edges and corners.
"Calm down!" Liu Jingzi hurriedly stopped Qi Ran, who was about to beat the creature, and whispered in his ear: "This guy is very clever, and your intimidation methods don't work at all." ”
Qi Ran sighed and said to the creature in the glass, "How about we talk about a deal?"
