Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it has been three years since the first battle of Beizhucheng.

In the eyes of many cultivators, after the battle of Ling Zheng and others in Beizhu City, it seemed that there was no news at all, and many people thought that they were blocked and killed by the Liang family and other cultivators. But judging from the situation of the Liang family searching for four people in the past three years, this inference is somewhat unconvincing.

In the past three years, a lot of major events have happened in the cultivation world, and many young masters have appeared, such as Yun Changxing, a disciple of the ancient Xiuzhen family in the Northern Regions, the spirit fairy who entered the mainland from overseas in the extreme east of the mainland, and Liang Wendao, who suffered a big loss under Ling Zheng in the first battle of Beizhu City, but then beheaded the younger generation of masters, and some other people, all of whom were the most often talked about by the monks in the past three years.

After a long time, no one remembered that three years ago, he was the mastermind who murdered more than 7,300 cultivators in Beizhu City, and abolished one arm of the two Yuanying Realm masters, beating Liang Wendao, Xuan Tangyu, and Ling Zheng, the three young masters of Painting, did not dare to say anything.

But as some people expected and expected, Ling Zheng did not die at all, but lived well.

This is a barren mountain in the western part of the Northern Regions, and from a distance, there is no grass growing in this barren mountain, and even birds don't want to in this place.

But if a clever formation mage passes by here, he will notice that a valley here is hidden by the formation.

The valley is quite large, and in the center there is a large lake artificially carved out, and at the moment the water is clear, and there are swimming fish roaming leisurely. Behind a wooden building in the valley, there is a naturally formed spiritual spring.

The environment in the valley is beautiful, it can really be called the grass is green, the flowers are pleasant, and there is also a field in the valley that is fused with several fourth-level spirit gathering arrays, which is planted with spiritual grass.

At this moment, it is evening, in the spiritual grass field, at this moment, there is a man in green clothes, who looks more beautiful than a woman, is holding a kettle, watering very leisurely.

The water is all spiritual spring water, and a lot of unknown things are added, which makes the color of the water slightly blue. But judging from the vigorous growth of various spiritual grasses in the spiritual grass field, it is obvious that this man has special research in planting flowers.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing in the spiritual grass field was a strange flower called the Divine Blood Demon Lotus.

In front of a stone table by the lake, Ling Zheng was listening to Zhang Taiyan talk about the knowledge of the formation path, and in the past three years, under the guidance of this old formation mage who lived in the same period as the formation mage Gao Yuan, the formation path cultivation has grown steadily.

Suddenly, there was a fluctuation in the mountain protection formation, Ling Zheng and Zhang Taiyan looked in one direction at the same time, and saw that Dou Bi, who was still dressed as a scholar and had not changed his appearance in the past three years, was carrying a cow-like demon beast far larger than him into the valley.

"Luckily, I hunted a Black Rock Cow, whether this thing is roasted or eaten shabu, it is the best quality, hehe, there is a mouthful. Dou Bi threw the Black Rock Ox, which had been pierced through the head by a sword, to the ground, and shouted: "Ling Zheng! Hurry up, Lao Tzu has been out for seven days, and he hasn't eaten a serious meal." ”

Seeing that Zhang Taiyan first waved his hand and then stared at the black rock cow and rubbed his hands, Ling Zheng got up with a smile, went over and grabbed one of the black rock cow's legs, dragged it to the lake and began to peel it.

The lake water is living water, even if there are blood stains, it will be cleaned quickly, and Ling Zheng does not have to worry about polluting the environment.

Half an hour later, Kong Xuan, who was concentrating on watering the flowers, threw the kettle and walked to a clearing in the valley dedicated to eating.

Not far away, on the iron shelf, there was half a Black Rock Cow, which was slowly baking. Sprinkled with condiments, and the black rock beef, which has turned golden, releases an extremely tempting aroma, which is mixed with the floral aroma in the valley, and no longer stimulates the taste buds of Ling Zheng and the others all the time.

There is a stone table in the center of this clearing, with a stone pot in the middle, and next to it are several plates of neatly cut beef slices, as well as some green vegetables that Kong Xuan grows on weekdays.

The three young men roasted beef, ate hot pot, and drank spirits, and their expressions were quite pleasant.

During the meal, Dou Bi told him about the information he had heard in the past few days, basically nothing new, it was nothing more than who killed whom, who and whom, the reputation was shocked, and the conflict broke out between those sects because of what, how many people died, and so on.

Liang Wendao said that guy has been in the limelight for the past three years, and it is said that he has single-handedly killed several young monks who are called geniuses in the Northern Regions, as if he is vying for the position of the leader of the younger generation. Dou Bi said: "But apart from him, the two beauties who had a big fight with Ling Zheng three years ago, Xuan Tangyu and Huaying, were silent at all, and they were even more silent than the four of us." ”

"The two of them are certainly not dead. Ling Zheng took a sip of wine and said, "Although I had injected a non-attribute True Yuan into each of them before, with the cultivation of the two of them who were already in the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Realm at that time, they would be able to recover in ten days and a half months. ”

"These two people are not ordinary characters, and now like that Liang Wendao, it may not be possible to break into the Jindan realm. Kong Xuan interjected: "Ling Zheng, now if you are asked to fight them in close quarters again, are you sure of winning?"

Ling Zheng smiled: "They have improved, and I have not regressed." ”

Zhang Taiyan, who had been silent, ate a few bites of meat and said softly: "Boy, I have basically taught you what you should teach, and the rest is for you to go to enlightenment yourself." The master led the way into the door, and the cultivation is not false at all, just teaching you the theory is definitely not enough, if you want to really improve your formation level, you have to continue to fight with other formation masters. ”

"Senior is leaving?" Ling Zheng asked after saluting Zhang Taiyan with a bowl of wine.

"yes, it's time to go. Zhang Taiyan said with a smile: "Always by your side to protect you, it will delay you, our White Array Gate has died a high yuan, I have to let you grow up well, and in the future, you will take my place and pick the girder of our White Array Gate." ”

Ling Zheng, Kong Xuan, and Dou Bi were all silent.

Zhang Taiyan poured a bowl of wine for the three of them, and said with a smile: "Gathering and dispersing is a common thing in life, with my old man's ability, I will definitely not be able to die." Besides, it's not that you can't find me, I'm going to go to the Thousand Poison Array Swamp where you went before, and find the broken array to discuss the formation path, and if you have something in the future, just go there and find my old man's house. But one thing to remember, if it's not something big that you can handle, don't go there and embarrass me. ”

The three nodded. After three years of getting along, they have a deep friendship with Zhang Taiyan, and now that this old man, who is also a teacher and friend, is leaving, they are all a little silent.

But it didn't take long for the old and three young people to start drinking happily, and Zhang Taiyan could see that these three boys wanted to pour themselves too much. But Zhang Taiyan did not refuse, and after getting along with these three young people who were destined to be extraordinary in the future for such a long time, he felt that he was really a lot younger.

The future has to be the world of young people, and the older generation is the experiencers of the past and the spectators of the present and the future. Zhang Taiyan said secretly in his heart.

The next day, Zhang Taiyan, who was still as thin as a bamboo pole, crushed the teleportation array stone that had been prepared long ago under the eyes of Ling Zheng and the others, and disappeared in an instant.

Before leaving, Zhang Taiyan also said that the next time he saw the three of them, he would go to a better Qinglou, which made the three of them cry and laugh.

After seeing Zhang Taiyan leave, the three of them stood in front of the wooden building and were silent for a while, and then Kong Xuan said, "We should also go, right?"

"I have to go, the three of us have consumed more than ninety percent of my Huanglong Dan in the past three years, so we have to get some more. Ling Zheng nodded and said, "You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, especially Kong Xuan, who even uses Huanglong Dan to soak water for watering flowers, how can you afford such consumption?"

Kong Xuan and Dou Bi were both very curious about how Ling Zheng could get so many top-grade pills, but the two were smart people, and Ling Zheng didn't take the initiative to say, and they didn't take the initiative to ask. But this does not affect the friendship between the three.

Ling Zheng had always been a little worried about his other friend, that is, Xiang Xuefeng, the heir of the Sword Transformation Sect that he had met in the Xuansha Emperor's Palace.

Since he was slapped out of the Xuansha Emperor's Palace, Ling Zheng hadn't heard any news about Xiang Xuefeng, even if Dou Bi had gone out from time to time to inquire about the news in the past three years, he couldn't find out any news about the heir of the Huajian Sect. This made Ling Zheng a little worried about whether Xiang Xuefeng would be killed by that moody Xuansha.

I have lived in this valley for three years, and I have lived in some feelings. After Dou Bi helped Kong Xuan clean up the medicine field, Ling Zheng began to strengthen the formation patterns of the valley mountain protection array, and placed a lot of the spirit jade that Dou Bi had exchanged for in various formations of the formation.

Because the formation arranged by Zhang Taiyan is very exquisite, if you maintain the operation of the formation, it will not cost much spirit jade at all. Therefore, judging from the spirit jade left by Ling Zheng, the formation that hid this valley could last for at least ten years.

Three days later, Ling Zheng, Kong Xuan, and Dou Bi, who had packed everything up, left the valley and reappeared on the mainland.

After the three of them left the valley, they took out the cyan warship that they had obtained by killing the iron-bone battle madness Du Donglin outside Feihong City three years ago, because the material of this flying magic weapon was good, and in addition, it was from the hands of a Yuanying Realm cultivator, and the quality was quite good, so the three of them also had plans to use it for a long time.

There were a number of quiet rooms on the warship, and after the three of them had chosen their destination, they each chose a quiet room. Ling Zheng still habitually placed several layers of prohibitions around his quiet room, and after confirming that it was in order, he took out the three magic weapons in his dantian and observed them carefully.

Although Ling Zheng had obtained a lot of magic weapons, the ones that were really recognized by him with blood were the black ancient mirror, the ghost magic mirror, and the black spear of unknown origin that Zhang Taiyan gave him.

In the past three years, Tong Guò has been in contact with the three magic weapons for a long time, coupled with the steady improvement of Ling Zheng's cultivation in the past three years, which has made his understanding of the three magic weapons become deeper and deeper.

That being said, Ling Zheng still couldn't figure out the pulse of the Black Ancient Mirror and the Phantom Magic Mirror, but he knew some of their abilities and characteristics more or less, and he was already able to master them and apply them in actual combat.

Only the black spear that Zhang Taiyan gave him made Ling Zheng still confused.

This black spear is a formation artifact, that's right. But apart from the fact that it can be used to depict formations, and the weight of the spear increases after injecting the true element, the only remaining characteristic of the black spear is that it is hard. Until now, Ling Zheng still didn't know what grade this black spear was, because infusing the True Yuan would increase its weight, and according to Zhang Taiyan, it was a characteristic that at least a fifth-grade spirit weapon would have. But this black spear had no spirituality at all, and it was even worse than the ghost mirror inlaid with the ghost beads like a ghost mirror that would suck Ling Zheng to death.

According to Zhang Taiyan, this spear can be engraved with formation patterns and not dispersed, but it can only be carved by the formation mage who recognizes the master after recognizing the master. So although Zhang Taiyan has always wanted to help, he can't help.

And Ling Zheng had been thinking about what formation pattern to engrave on this black spear, and now, having successfully become a third-level formation mage, he had finally made a decision.

Since the black spear has no spirituality, it is better to use it to its advantage.

After that, Ling Zheng took a deep breath, and a pen-shaped non-attribute true element burst out from the end of his fingers, and began to carve a formation called "Wan Jun" on the black spear.

Wan Jun, as the name suggests, is as heavy as Wan Jun. With this kind of formation depicted, the weight of the black spear of nearly three thousand catties would become even more terrifying, but for Ling Zheng, whose arm strength has increased significantly, it would obviously be more comfortable to be heavier. And when facing enemies, this spear can also maximize its own advantages.

"Buzz!"

After Ling Zheng finished carving the formation pattern, there was a soft sound, and the formation pattern on the black spear first erupted into a burst of intense white light, and then the light suddenly converged, condensing on the surface of the spear.

The black spear that had been carved into the pattern shook for a moment, and then the pattern disappeared. Ling Zheng thought that the formation pattern had dissipated at first, and after tentatively holding the spear, he immediately felt that the spear had become too heavy.

"Could it be that the formation patterns are all hidden inside?"

Ling Zheng thought about it for a long time, and finally could only come up with such a conclusion. After that, Ling Zheng decided to choose a name for the black spear.

"Hmm, since the Wanjun formation pattern has been inscribed, let's just call it Wanjun Gun. Ling Zheng muttered, "Hehe, this name sounds domineering." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the Wanjun spear in his hand, which had just received a new name, was hot, and later, even Ling Zheng's strong body, his palms were burned to the ground.

He looked at the Wan Jun spear that came out of his hand and was quietly suspended in mid-air in front of him with confusion, and saw that the simple spear first swayed for a while, and then the head of the spear pointed straight in one direction.

After that, a large area of golden-red flames burst out from the Wan Jun gun, and the floor of this quiet room was stunned to melt a large hole.

For the ship is one, and when one piece is broken, it is no longer complete. Before Kong Xuan and Dou Bi could react, they fell to the ground along with the cyan warship.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the cyan warship that was absent in divinity fell directly into pieces, Kong Xuan and Dou Bi rose into the sky, and at a glance saw Ling Zheng who was holding Wanjun Gun in a daze below.

Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Ling Zheng pointed in the direction where Wan Jun's gun was pointing just now, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go to the pill first, go there first, it seems that there is something very amazing." ”

Kong Xuan and Dou Bi glanced at each other, they didn't know why, but they didn't object.

And Ling Zheng looked at the dark and simple Wanjun gun in his hand, his face solemn.

Because just at the moment when the Wanjun Spear burst out with golden-red flames, Ling Zheng's black ancient mirror actually released an extremely uneasy feeling, which was enough for Ling Zheng to pay close attention.

"What the hell are you from...... Ling Zheng muttered as he stared at Wan Jun's gun.
