There are more than 20 basic formations in "The Preliminary Solution of Formations", what kind of materials are used for each, the environmental and terrain requirements of the formation, the formation technique, etc., Chen De has also achieved confidence.

With the mastery of the two classics "Basic Talismans" and "The First Solution of the Formation", Chen De has the confidence to delve into the combination of arrows and talismans, or magic circles.

And, from the very beginning, he was prepared for a long time of possible research.

The Heavenly Scar Palace is already good at talismans and formations, so there are often high-ranking monks who preach in this aspect in the Scar Palace.

Chen De went a few times, but each time he was blasted out, because the Heavenly Scar Palace has always had rules, and he was not allowed to practice talismans and formations until he entered the exhibition realm.

Chen De got the two classics of "Basic Talismans" and "Initial Solution of Formation", which were the extrajudicial kindness of Qu Mu Patriarch to him.

Since he couldn't enter the Trace Meaning Hall to get in touch with more talismans and the true meaning of the formation, in order to realize his idea, Chen De went to the Heavenly Weapon Palace to help when he was free, and he didn't need to be paid by the other party.

After Chen De made this clear, Melan Naxiong happily introduced him to some of his brothers, and they all readily agreed.

Because, when casting magic weapons, some processes such as smelting, purification, mold casting, and initial forging are quite hard and heavy, and require many low-level monks to complete.

For such a process, which does not require advanced skills and purely requires hard work, the high-ranking monks are not willing to surrender their status to do such trivial things.

After Chen De became acquainted with these backbones of the Heavenly Weapon Palace, he could observe how they arranged and carved magic circles on magic weapons such as flying swords, and became familiar with the magic circles on magic weapons such as flying swords.

Inspired by Chen De's unpaid work in the Tianqi Palace, Zhang Zhiliang also had an idea, and he went to the canteen of the Tianqi Palace to help the cook, but he did not accept half a spirit stone.

There were many monks who dined in the dining hall of the Heavenly Instrument Palace, especially low-level monks, so in order to provide these disciples with spiritual food that was beneficial to their cultivation, the dining hall of the Heavenly Instrument Palace had to often slaughter demon beasts.

Naturally, most of these demon beasts are demon beasts raised by the sect to provide fresh meat.

Zhang Zhiliang just didn't receive remuneration and slaughtered these demon beasts for the canteen.

The deacon in charge of this matter in the canteen could not ask for help when he saw that someone took the initiative to do such dirty and tiring work without pay.

Zhang Zhiliang did this because he needed to cultivate the Pure Demon Dragon Technique. The evil qi obtained from hunting demon beasts with the Aurora team was not enough for his cultivation at all.

When Chen De went hunting the white jade electric rhinoceros with the Aurora team, for more than 20 days or so, Yang Xinlan lived alone in Lulan Residence, which made the little girl feel very bored.

After she came to Ludi Town, she often came into contact with the monks of the Tiantai Sect, and often looked at them with envy, and she also had the idea of cultivating.

Chen De thought to himself, yes, he will sometimes be absent from the sect for a period of time, if at this time, Xiaolan can cultivate, there will be no boredom, loneliness, and even feel that there is not enough time.

If Xiaolan can cultivate and become stronger, she can help Chen De do more things, which will be beneficial to both of them.

He decided to pass on the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Recipe to her. Chen De explained the method to her in detail and asked her to start cultivating.

It's just that the little girl doesn't necessarily have the talent for cultivation, if she can't produce a sense of qi, she has no chance with cultivation.

After Zhang Zhiliang became a free butcher, whenever he consciously condensed enough evil qi, he went to Lulanju to practice the Pure Evil Dragon Technique.

There are two benefits to practicing here.

First, the place in the courtyard for practicing martial arts is large enough, and there is a ready-made covering magic circle, which is convenient for cultivating the Pure Evil Dragon Technique.

The second is the convenience of eating, each meal is cooked by Xiaolan with her increasingly excellent cooking skills, which is convenient and delicious for Zhang Zhiliang.

Later, when Zhang Zhiliang was free, if he didn't come to Lulanju, he felt that he had treated himself badly.

After Melanaxiong recovered from his injury, Chen De invited him to Lulanju several times for a drink, and after a few times, he also liked to come to Lulanju when he was free without cultivating.

Almost every time, Chen De would invite him to drink clear jade brew.

Because he was already a fourth-level cultivator in the Zhan Qi Realm, and he had a large amount of wine, the best limit of Qingyu Brew for a Cultivation Realm cultivator was equivalent to non-existent for him.

Moreover, the aura and medicinal power in the clear jade brew are helpful to his cultivation, and there is also a slight effect on removing impurities from the body.

After coming to drink a few times, his cultivation easily rose.

And Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang, the process of drinking clear jade brew is part of the practice itself, and at the same time they entertain their friends, why not?

Chen De also invited Gong Xianliang and Yao Baoshan to Lulanju several times.

Gong Xianliang likes to drink tea, and Chen De is not stingy, as long as there is spiritual tea, he will take it out and brew it.

And Yao Baoshan likes to eat, and Xiaolan's craftsmanship makes him quite satisfied.

Moreover, Chen De also explained to these two senior brothers, when he is not there, he is also welcome to come over, and Xiaolan will greet them.

It wasn't long before they became regulars.

Xiaolan also likes this change, she was the only one in such a big Lulanju in the past, she felt empty, and she was always a little lost in her heart.

Now it was a frequented place for the young monks, and it was much more popular, and although she was busy, her life was more fulfilling.

Moreover, Chen De would often give her enough spirit stones for her to buy and ask her to call these monks. And when it comes to coping with these things, she starts to become unhurried.

For her, at a young age, the housekeeper's skills have grown unconsciously.

For the leaders of the Aurora Squad, Zhou Jixiong and Lu Chenguang, as well as the only female monk Chen Juxiang, Chen De naturally invited them to Lulanju as guests many times.

It's just that after the three of them came once, they never came again.

I don't know if it's because Chen De doesn't greet him well, or because they come from a Xiuzhen family, they don't look down on the humble houses of these little monks with simple backgrounds.

One day, Chen De, Zhang Zhiliang, and Mo Lan Naxiong had dinner in Lulanju after practicing.

Let's talk about age.

Mo Lan Naxiong, who drank two taels, no longer cares about the so-called, asking a woman's age is a big taboo, so he asked Xiaolan, how old is this year.

Xiaolan was not embarrassed, so she replied: Fifteen.

This triggered another person's sentimentality.

Zhang Zhiliang thought of his little sister, who was also at this age.

He thought of his family with a melancholy face, and they were all right after not seeing each other for a few years. He sighed and said to Chen De, "I don't know what happened to my father and them now. ”

Chen De was also in a gloomy mood, and when he raised his head, he happened to see Xiaolan looking at him with a concerned face, and he had an idea in his heart.

He first said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, if you have an older sister and a younger sister living here with you, won't you be so bored?"

Xiaolan said happily: "That's the best, I don't have any girls in my family, and no one talks to me on weekdays." It would be nice to have an older sister and a younger sister together. ”

Chen De also smiled, turned his head to his friend and said, "Ah Liang, you look like this, it's okay to take Uncle Zhang, your second brother, your sister, and your sister to live in Lulanju?"

"Ouch!" As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhiliang, who immediately turned his worries into joy, patted his forehead and said happily: "Look at me, why don't you think like this!"

The four of them, who were in high spirits, gathered around the table and discussed the next steps.

First of all, it is necessary to find the current location of the Zhang family.

This naturally fell to Chen De, and he wanted to repair a letter to inform Wei Zule of the characteristics of the Zhang family and possible places of entry and exit, and let him send someone to look for it.

Secondly, Zhang Zhiliang and Mo Lan Naxiong worked together to complete Zhang Zhiliang's work tasks in advance of the next month's sect, so that he could take leave with the deacon in charge, and Zhang Zhiliang had to take at least one month of leave.

Finally, it's Xiaolan here. She's going to get the room ready. There's a lot going on. Beds, bedding, pots and pans, tables and chairs, etc., the little girl has to prepare a set of things she can get.

After Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang returned to Gule City together, Wei Zule showed him how efficient he was after recruiting troops.

On the fourth day, he told Chen De about the situation he had collected about the Zhang family:

Someone saw a family on a boat, very similar to Zhang's family, on the Birong River, a large tributary of the upper reaches of the Quluo River.

Chen De spent six taels of silver to hire a fast boat, because Zhang Zhiliang had not been out of the sect for a long time, and he didn't have much silver taels on him, but he did have spirit stones.

At this time, it was already winter, and it was the dry season.

At this time, the flow of the Quluo River is gentle, and the river is turquoise. The weeds on the shore are withered and yellow, and the trees are desolate.

At this time, sailing in the river, although it is cold and biting, but because the river level is slow, it is a good season to go upstream.

The two of them stood at the bow of the boat, their clothes were thin, and with their cultivation, they were already cold and hot.

The middle-aged boatman who was rocking the boat, dressed in bloated winter clothes, always showed a look of envy whenever his eyes swept over the two teenagers.

Braving the cold winds, they finally reached the confluence of the Birong and Quluo rivers after four days.

The Birong River has a wide water surface and the river water is clear and gentle, which is a good place for people to park boats on the water.

At this time, there are many boats moored at each pier. From the first pier, the two searched boat by boat, asking questions as they searched.

Because it is a time of war and chaos, the places where the boat people are anchored are not relatively fixed as in the peaceful period, so the boat people who are parked in one place come from a large number of sources, and many people do not know each other. It is comparatively more difficult to find someone.

After searching for several piers on the Rongbi River, Zhang Zhiliang got the exact news.

Indeed, some people saw the Zhang family's boat moored at the wharf of the Rongbi River some time ago.

Probably because there were more boats moored at the wharf of the Rongbi River, when the fresh river was sold in the villages and towns on the shore, it could not be sold at a good price, so the Zhang family's boat was changed to the upper reaches of the Quluo River.

Zhang Zhiliang asked the boatman to leave the Rongbi River and go upstream to the Quluo River.
