Ye Hengyuan just wanted to show an expression of "never expected", but immediately reacted, pinched his thigh, and saluted Lei Xi.

Lei Xi smiled softly, stood by the door, and made way for Qiu Bai and Ye Hengyuan.

"Let's go. ”

Qiu Bai took Ye Hengyuan into the door. Lei Xi followed.

The three of them walked down a not-so-short corridor to the center of the first floor. The central location on the ground floor is a small space with only a spiral staircase leading up to the upper floors. In addition to this, it is flanked by two curved walls, as well as two closed doors. On each wall are several character paintings, all of which are members of the Twelve Generals of Cangling in history. There is a candlestick in the middle of every two paintings, and two candles are lit inside each candlestick. The candles are colored and appear to be a mix of almost all colors. Apart from this candle, there was no other light in the building.

"Master, is this really a council chamber?" Ye Hengyuan asked.

"Yes," Qiu Bai stepped forward and stood in front of the spiral staircase, "the council chamber is circular and occupies the exterior space of this floor. Both doors enter the chamber, but lead to two different rows of locations. The first fourteen floors are all double-layered circular structures, with only the spiral staircase in the middle. As for the top floor, I don't know. ”

"Uh...... Curious design ...... "Ye Hengyuan had to say that he was powerless to complain.

"This is designed by the first generation of the Twelve Generals of Cangling," Qiu Bai rolled his eyes, "There are several explanations for this. Some people say that it is conducive to the cultivation of spiritual generals, and some people say that it is conducive to defense. No one can explain what is going on. ”

"General Qiu," Lei Xi bowed again, "I'll go up to find my master first." ”

"Okay," Qiu Bai waved his hand, out of the way, "go ahead." When the time comes, we'll go down. ”

Lei Xi stepped onto the spiral staircase and walked slowly up. This spiral staircase is not very narrow and can accommodate about two adults side by side. The handrails and brackets of the entire staircase are made of extremely hard steel, and each step is covered with special marble cut and polished into slabs. Her high-heeled feet stomped on them, but she didn't make a sound.

Ye Hengyuan raised his head and watched Lei Xi gradually go upstairs.

"What are you looking at?" Qiu Bai raised his hand and patted him on the back of the head, "What?

"Huh? no...... There is no ......" Ye Hengyuan's face instantly turned red to the root of his ears, and his head shook like a rattle.

"Let's go. Qiu Bai smiled heartily and patted Ye Hengyuan's shoulder.

Ye Hengyuan followed behind Qiu Bai and went up the spiral staircase. Qiu Bai's steps were steady, but not heavy, and he didn't make any sound, let alone the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power. Ye Hengyuan carefully observed his master's movements, and also released two circular spiritual power membranes from the soles of his feet, but he couldn't do it without making a sound.

The master and apprentice walked up in a circle. The central part of each floor is about the same size, and it doesn't seem to have shrunk due to the reduction of the total area. There is basically no difference in the decoration of the central part of each floor, the only difference is the color of the candles. The color of the candles in the candlesticks on the second floor is also colorful, but the color pattern is completely opposite to the pattern on the candles on the first floor. Three floors up, all the candles become monochrome, different colors.

The two soon reached the tenth floor. The central part of the tenth floor is not like a whole cylinder anymore, but rather a cone, with the surrounding walls a little crooked inward, the ceiling narrow, and the floor wide. The tiles on the walls turned the turquoise of the wind elemental, the candles in the candlesticks turned cyan, and even the edges of the candles had a slight cyan glow. The two doors on the left and right are light green and dark green, respectively, and both open inside. There were more than a dozen lines painted on the door, two different patterns, and no one could understand what they were.

"This floor is our cultivation room," Qiu Bai said, "Dean Hou and Lei Xi's cultivation room is on the upper floor. The location of these cultivation rooms is uncertain and often changes because they are assigned according to their strength. The higher the cultivation level, the higher the room will be. The fourteenth floor at the top is Wu Hai's cultivation room, and it is also the only cultivation room that has hardly been opened in the past ten years. Because he spends most of his time guarding the mother nucleus. ”

"Master, why are you arranged like this?" Ye Hengyuan asked.

"It's just an unwritten rule. The first Twelve Spirits will do just that. Over time, everyone agrees with this. Every time the spirit is replaced, basically all the furnishings here have to be changed. On weekdays, there were no servants or guards in the Heavenly Spirit Pavilion, as it was only an office and cultivation place, not a dormitory or camp. Only when there is a replacement of spirits, it will be necessary to transfer people from other departments to sort it out. The perimeter guards are only responsible for day-to-day security, and they are directly under the consul's office, not entirely under our command. ”

Qiu Bai walked to the light green door on the left. The door had no handles or keyholes, just a palm-sized piece of translucent green jadeite inlaid where it was supposed to be.

"Division...... Master," Ye Hengyuan followed, "Why don't you have a handle on this door?"

Qiu Bai raised his hand and aimed his palm at the jade. A thick layer of cyan spiritual power fluctuations was released from his palm and injected into the jade. Turquoise quickly covered the entire door. A light "ding" sounded from the door. Then, the door opened automatically. All the lines on the door were gone.

"Wow!" Ye Hengyuan opened his mouth wide, and his chin was about to fall to the position of the Adam's apple, "It was opened with spiritual power?"

"This is the Energy Seal," Qiu Bai said, "a skill that can only be mastered by people above the fifth order." It works better than any lock. If you want to use it on people, you need to reach at least the sixth order. Not only here, but all the state organs of the Cangling Kingdom have basically used this skill. Each seal has its own specificity, and only the person who applied the seal can break it, and only the person who cultivates to a higher level than the person who applied the seal can forcibly break it from the outside. At my level, as long as it is not someone whose strength is more than one order higher than mine, he will not be able to forcibly break the seal under me. ”

"Oh......"

Ye Hengyuan nodded, followed behind Qiu Bai, and entered the room. When both entered the room, the door closed automatically. Patterns that had disappeared reappeared.

The room was half-moon-shaped, not big, just a little larger than the dormitory where Ye Hengyuan lived in Cangling students. The furnishings in the room could not have been simpler, just a pot of greenery in each of the four corners, a small sofa on each side of the door, and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The only thing that wasn't ordinary was the cultivation platform in the middle of the room.

The cultivation platform is circular, with a diameter of about eight meters and a height of about half a meter. From the outside, it is not clear what material it is made of, only that its main body is turquoise, and it is surrounded by dark green patterns. On its front, it is engraved with a pattern similar to that of a magic circle. The outer ring is the same double-layered circle as the main body of the cultivation platform, and the inside is a tornado pattern. The engraving is snow-white and does not look like it was carved with a knife or chisel. Around the cultivation platform, six cylindrical blue-gray stones were erected in the shape of a hexagon, each half a meter long, twenty centimeters wide and twenty centimeters high. The inner side of each stone also has a tornado pattern, which is exactly the same as the tornado carving on the main table.

"Master, is this a cultivation platform?" Ye Hengyuan asked.

"That's right," Qiu Bai said, "this is our special cultivation platform, also called the cultivation stone. Every spirit general and disciple has a cultivation stone that belongs to them. They are not natural, but are synthesized with a variety of ores rich in energy elements. In the entire Cangling Country, there are only so many cultivation stones. On top of the cultivation stone, there are energy arrays formed by energy patterns with different elemental attributes, which can strengthen the fusion of spirit cores by spirit generals and their disciples, and allow them to get twice the result with half the effort when cultivating in it. ”

"Wow......"

Ye Hengyuan walked quickly to the cultivation platform, stretched out his hand, and stroked the cylindrical cultivation stone. The hardness of the cultivation stone is not very large, it does not look hard to the touch, but it is a little soft, and there is a little cool feeling.

Qiu Bai stood behind him and stretched out his hand, pointing to the tornado pattern on the six cultivation stones.

"The energy circle is the energy group carved by these energy carvings. Its main function is to assist in cultivation, and it also has a certain effect of enhancing physical fitness. The more high-level the spirit master, the more complex and effective the energy circle can be depicted. The energy circle on this cultivation platform was carved by the first generation of Sky Spirits when they were at the third level of the eighth order, and it has been passed down to this day. The principle of the Demon Spirit Guide is roughly the same as that of this cultivation platform, and it also uses an energy circle to drive objects. It's just that the specific steps of making the Demon Spirit Guide are almost as cumbersome as the deepest energy array. ”

"Master, why can't the Demon Spirit Guide be used to make weapons?" Ye Hengyuan asked.

"Because of the load," Huber said, "if you want to use it to make weapons, you have to have a carrier and material strong enough to carry the operation of the energy circle in it, as well as its reaction force." There is also the prevention of energy leakage and backlash. Only when all these problems have been solved can it be put into arms production. Over the past few years, the central government and the military have stepped up their support for research on demonic guides. The Holy Water Spirit and the True Spirit will also be in charge of this. At present, the technology of demon spirit guides is still monopolized by the Chinese government, the military and a few famous factions, and the research on demon spirit weapons has always been a state secret that cannot be disclosed. The situation is similar in the other four countries, and it is far inferior to ours. If our Cangling Nation can have one or more armies armed with demonic spirit guides, we don't need to be afraid of the invasion of the other four countries, or the riot of the beast king-level spirit beasts. The Holy Water Spirit General once estimated that as long as we can take the lead in creating demon spirit weapons, it will change the situation on the continent for thousands of years, and it will also bring a revolution in technology and production to the entire Cangling Country, and even the whole continent. An ordinary army of 10,000 people fully equipped with demonic weapons may be able to compete with an ordinary spirit division group of about two or three thousand people or an ordinary legion of the other four countries. ”

"So powerful?" Ye Hengyuan was stunned again.

"Well," Qiu Bai nodded, and pointed to the middle of the cultivation platform, "Xiao Yuan, you go up first, sit in the center of the platform according to your usual cultivation method, and start cultivating." There is still some time before the meeting starts, so I'll teach you how to practice on stage first. You don't need to take off your shoes, just go up. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

Ye Hengyuan gently stepped onto the cultivation platform, walked to the center of the platform, and sat down cross-legged.

Qiu Bai raised his hand and aimed his palm at Ye Hengyuan. Six rays of blue light shot out from his palm at the same time, hitting the six cultivation stones. The blue-gold Sky Core came out from behind him, spun at high speed a few times, and then retracted.

The six cultivation stones glowed green at the same time. The six tornado patterns also began to glow, turning into green and white colors. Under Ye Hengyuan's body, the huge tornado pattern and all the lines began to glow blue. The whole room was illuminated as bright as day.

Six beams of light, along with the tornado-shaped huge pillar of light in the center, enveloped Ye Hengyuan's body at the same time. A pale green network of spiritual power spread throughout his body. The Psychic Nucleus came out of his body and levitated in front of him.

"This is to prove the relationship between you and me to the cultivation stone. Although the cultivation stone is not a living body, it is spiritual in itself. Only after getting its approval can you enjoy the benefits it brings you. ”

"Don't resist the fluctuations of spiritual power that invade your body. This is the energy circle that is nourishing the spiritual veins in your body, improving the spiritual power network in your body, and promoting the fusion of you and the micro spiritual core. It can be a little painful the first time, but you have to hold back. ”

"The more you are compatible with it, the faster your cultivation will improve. The reason why Lei Xi was able to approach the fourth order at the age of less than twenty-two was because she had already cultivated in this way many times. And the energy of the thunder and lightning energy circle she experienced was much stronger than that. ”

Qiu Bai's words kept coming directly into Ye Hengyuan's mind through voice transmission. Ye Hengyuan calmed down, adjusted his breathing, and began to accept and gather the spiritual power that was transmitted into his body.

Time passed. The spiritual power pillar like a grid did not weaken at all, but gradually increased. Circles of air began to rotate around the pillar of light, gradually changing from weak to strong, from invisible to tangible.

"Wow", there were two knocks outside the door.

"Who?" Qiu Bai asked without looking back.

"General Qiu, I'm Lei Xi. General Tang came back and said he had something to tell you. ”
