In the evening, after sending Zheng Yan away, Shi An re-ran the Upside-Down Five Elements Array and returned to the Cave Heaven Stone again.

Shi An didn't start cultivating directly, but sat on the futon and thought about his current situation.

Yuan Daozi has always coveted that secret method, and he has already searched it on his body, even if he goes to the shop in the Twin Towers City again, he will not find any clues, but it is unlikely that he will give up just yet. Today, three disciples were sent to learn the formation, if it was just a simple study and not taking this opportunity to get the secret method, this ghost would not believe it. Then this means that among these disciples who learn the formation, there must be spies sent by him. Which one will it be?

The most suspicious should be Chen Qi. He didn't have any foundation for learning formations, and he didn't seem to see anything else, and even listening to his own explanations was like listening to them casually. In addition, he said that he had been the steward of the Four Elephants Temple for 18 years, that is to say, from the beginning of Yuan Daozi as an elder to the present, he has been doing things by Yuan Daozi's side, and he is a fat shortage, so it must be his henchman, and it is reasonable to do some secret things for Yuan Daozi. Moreover, this Chen Qi can be seen from his face to be a cunning person, a pair of thief's slippery eyes have been touching around since he entered the door, especially the strange behavior when he left Zheng Yan is even more suspicious.

Tang Zhi is a little less likely, the entry time is short, and he is the lowest-level mountain patrol disciple, it is estimated that if he does not have some formation foundation, he will not be sent over.

Zhengyan, there are also doubts, and some questions can be heard from the words I talked to her today. She or her family must have something to do with Yuan Daozi, otherwise how could she have asked the sect master to personally go to see her physical condition? How could she arrange to be an inner disciple if her physique was not good? How could she send her to learn the formation, wouldn't it be okay to find a more perceptive outer disciple? Although I talked with her a lot today, I didn't find out the details of her, and it seems that I will have to pay more attention in the future.

In short, the three disciples must not be guarded, as long as they teach the formation according to the agreement, the less else they say, the better.

There is another question that has been bothering me, that is, why is this Zheng Yan so familiar? There are many people in contact with her in the secular world and the immortal cultivation world, but she has never remembered who is similar to her, what is going on?

As for Uncle Yuan Miao's recent situation, it is better not to investigate it yourself first, if you don't know anything, if you are found by the people of Yuan Daozi's faction, you may not be able to make any mess, so let Zheng Yan inquire, it is best to inquire, and if you can't inquire, you will see you in a year according to what Yuan Daozi said.

With this in mind, Shi An put down all his thoughts and entered the spirit gathering array that had been set up to cultivate with peace of mind.

During the foundation building period, the spirit gathering array still had to use the lower grade spirit stones, and he had tried to put in the middle grade spirit stones, but found that the spiritual pressure in the formation was too large, and the white octagonal array continued to expand outward, and the array talismans and array flags inside it also made a huge roar, as if there was a danger of collapse at any time. At first, he thought that his formation was wrong, but after carefully checking it three times, it was still the same, and he had to change the upper and lower grade spirit stones, and the situation immediately improved.

There is no need to use attribute spirit stones, it's not that Shi An is stingy, now the spirit stones in the cave stone are piled up like a hill, and it doesn't matter if it is an attribute spirit stone or an ordinary spirit stone. It's just that no matter how the five attribute spirit stones are placed in the sixteen spirit source slots, there will be one more, and this kind of cultivation will definitely not be conducive to the balance of the growth of the spirit root. He also tried to put three attribute spirit stones each, and the extra one put down the spirit stones, so that although the aura was balanced, the formation was not working. There was no choice but to use all the lower grade spirit stones, but fortunately, at this stage, he didn't want to practice too fast, and entering the second layer of the foundation building period too early would attract more suspicion from Yuan Daozi.

At this time, Shi An also felt that the decision to return to the Four Elephants Temple was a bit hasty, not only did he have too many obstacles to his cultivation, but also Uncle Yuan Miao's help did not help, but brought him more bad luck to the old man.

"Alas, after this hurdle, even if I did my best to help my uncle, although I can't repay his kindness to me, I only have such great ability. In the future, I will honestly do my casual cultivation, and after avenging the revenge of killing the teacher, I will devote myself to continuously improving my cultivation in order to ascend to the spiritual realm as soon as possible. ”

Shi An let go of the five split souls, the big and small blue controlled the two spirit roots of gold and wood respectively, the big and small yellow controlled the two spirit roots of fire and earth respectively, and his own life soul controlled the water spirit root, and wantonly absorbed and compressed the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering array.

......

At the time, the edge of the tung forest.

Yuan Daozi listened to Zhengyan report to him about today's meeting with Shi An with a serious face.

"So, that kid didn't doubt your words, and he asked you to call him Big Brother Shi?"

"Well, today's situation is basically as you designed with me last night, and I answered them all. Zheng Yan said with a small white flower in her mouth.

"Well, is there anything else?"

Zheng Yan thought about it, suddenly took out the small flower in her mouth, gently wrapped the tiny flower stalk around her fingers, and said with some stumbling: "Later, he asked me why I didn't cultivate well, but came to learn the formation, how to answer this question You didn't teach me last night." ”

"And how did you answer?"

"I'll tell the truth, saying that I have a problem with my own physique, and I won't have great achievements in cultivation, and I came to learn the formation for the benefit of my family. Zheng Yan lowered her head and replied with some trepidation.

"That's right. Yuan Daozi nodded lightly.

"I'm worried about whether there will be a problem saying that," Zhengyan patted her chest and let out a long breath, "I'm relieved when you say that." ”

"By the way, what exactly do you say about your physique?"

"I said that when I was a child, I found out that I was a three-spirit root, and when you let you see it, you said that I would cultivate to the foundation building stage at most in the future. Zheng Yan said with a relaxed face.

"Ahh

"He didn't say anything, he just asked me again what Master Yuan Miao thought of my physique. I will tell the truth again that Master Ancestor didn't say anything, Taigong, am I right to answer that?" Zheng Yan saw Taigong so angry for the first time, and her voice also lowered, and she trembled.

"Did you ask who gave you the spirit?" did not answer, Yuan Daozi followed up with another question.

"I didn't ask, and I didn't take the initiative to mention it. Zhengyan replied in a low voice.

"Oh," Yuan Daozi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that Shi Yizhi didn't pay much attention to this question, maybe he was suspicious, "That's right, okay Yan'er, it's over, you have to keep in mind in the future, no matter what you say to him, you must not reveal a little bit of the relationship between you and me." ”

"Write it down, Princess. And finally, he asked me not to mention my relationship with Yuan Miao Master Ancestor to anyone, especially with you, so as not to be implicated. I asked him what he was involved in, and he said that he didn't know, but that he had a relationship with a person named Yun Shan, and that Master Yuan Miao was not in retreat, but was imprisoned by you. Taigong, is this true, is Master Yuan Miao really locked up by you?" Zheng Yan raised her little face and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"What spruce, metasequoia, it's just nonsense, this kid's words can't be believed, he's lying to you. Yan'er, let me warn you again, you have to keep in mind that whatever that kid says in the future, he must have ulterior motives. Recently, I still came back after listening to him teach the formation, don't have more contact with him, and see what new moves he will make. Yuan Daozi said sternly.
