"Hey! Qian boy, I heard that you provoked a Senior Sister Luo recently, have you? ”

A few days after Senior Sister Luo looked for Qian Chao to refine the lock spirit pile, it was the day when the five of Qian Chao usually got together, according to the last time a few people agreed, they were still here in Lu Pingchuan, as usual, a fire was lit, and Lu Pingchuan was busy barbecuing and laughing with a few people there. Tang Ping heard some things about Qian Chao out of nowhere, especially the matter of Senior Sister Luo looking for Qian Chao to refine spiritual weapons, so she asked Qian Chao curiously.

Qian Chao pursed his lips and said, "I dare to provoke that Senior Sister Luo?" Don't be kidding, you didn't see it when you weren't in Chengqitang that day, as soon as Senior Sister Luo appeared there, it was like a litter of mice suddenly seeing an old cat, and they were so frightened that they either ran away or bowed their heads and remained silent, I dared to provoke her! ”

Yan Xuan listened and asked curiously, "Is this Senior Sister Luo so powerful?" ”

Tang Ping replied: "This Senior Sister Luo is also quite powerful, at least she is already a high-level disciple of Qi refining in cultivation, but this is not the main thing, the key is that this Senior Sister Luo is the descendant of one of their Jiuxuan predecessors, plus this Senior Sister Luo has a weird and fiery temper, and if she says something wrong, it will make her angry, so no one dares to provoke her, alas, speaking of which, I am a little worried when I see her!" Hey, boy Qian, isn't it particularly difficult for her to make things you refine? If the refining is not good, you will have your good fruit to eat! ”

"Well, it's really not simple, it is said that in the past, there was only one senior brother in the inner hall who had refined it for her, and this time that senior brother was sent out by the master, so I was replaced by me to refine."

"What about the other senior brothers in your inner hall?" Tang Ping asked.

"How to say it, what Senior Sister Luo wants, it's hard to say that it's for us Qi refining disciples, and it's actually not difficult for those inner cousins who build the foundation, I guess the other senior brothers who build the foundation are too lazy to do it, but it's not difficult to say, I also tossed for several days to find the way, and it is also extremely troublesome when refining, if you are not careful, you will make a mistake, and if you make a mistake, you will have to start over."

"Then what does Senior Sister Luo want to refine to make it difficult for Brother Qian to be like this?" Lu Pingchuan, who was grilling meat, asked curiously.

"Ah," Qian Chao took out an object, the thickness of his arm was as thick as a large iron nail, "That's it, the name is called the lock spirit pile, it is used to set up the array, I heard Senior Brother Fang in the inner hall say that this thing is very wonderful, the demon beast of the lower level and the upper grade, our Qi refining disciples are not easy to provoke, how can we also build the foundation of the cultivation to be sure to kill, but that Senior Brother Fang said that he had seen that Senior Sister Luo introduce the demon beast into the array, and the demon beast of the lower and upper grade was weak and weak, and could only lead the neck to be killed." ”

"So weird?" Li Jian was curious when she heard this, and couldn't help but get closer to take a look.

"Well, there are not many seniors who use this formation technique in the Jiuxuan Society, Senior Luo is one, it seems that there are a few seniors who can also use this formation technique, but unless you can apprentice, you can't learn it!" Qian Chao sighed after speaking.

After putting away the lock spirit pile, Qian Chao remembered something again, and said, "By the way, did I get the book I asked you for a few days ago?" ”

It turned out that in the past few days, Qian Chao found these people separately and asked them to go to the library of their respective sects to find out if there were any books written by the disciples in the previous sect about the landscape or anecdotes outside the sect, and if so, bring them to him. At that time, Qian Chao also considered that Lu Pingchuan didn't know a few big characters, and finally went to look for him, Lu Pingchuan listened to it, and Qian Chao took it to the library of the Houtu Temple to search for it, and then selected a lot of books, which were lent by Lu Pingchuan, and then Qian Chao brought them back to read.

"Of course, this one is, I went to the library to look for it, there are a lot of such books, I got them all, and the senior brother there is still curious why I borrowed these books to read!" Yan Xuan said as he took out a thick stack of books from his storage bag and placed them on the stone table.

"Mu Xiufeng's library building is too small, but almost all the books that Brother Qian wants are here." Li Jian said and took out a lot of books.

Tang Ping even threw a small storage bag directly on the stone table, and it seemed that she had found a lot of books.

"Hey, money boy, what are you doing reading these books, what the hell are you going to do!"

When Qian Chao saw so many books, he was naturally overjoyed and smiled, and said while putting them away: "Naturally, it is very useful, can you sell it first?" ”

"Can't!" Tang Ping said angrily, "Say it quickly!" ”。

"Okay then", Qian Chao saw that several people were looking at him, so he asked, "I don't know how you feel, but these days, I feel as if this cultivation is about to break through again, do you feel it?" ”

"Hmm" Li Jian nodded first, "It seems to be so, I have also faintly felt this recently." ”

"If you don't break through, what's the use of asking you for these books?" Tang Ping asked.

"If we break through to the third layer of Qi refining, we can really get out. But we don't know what it's like outside, where the mountains and rivers go, where there are good things, and where there are dangers. ”

As he spoke, Qian Chao had already put away all the books on the stone table, and then took out a long roll of paper from his storage bag and spread it out on the stone table, attracting several people to come over to look at it.

The paper used a pen to depict the mountains, peaks, and the direction of the mountains and rivers, but it was obvious that the map was not completed, and there were still large blank spaces on the paper.

"This is the map, where is the map?" Tang Ping looked at it and asked Qian Chao curiously.

"It's the map outside our sect, but it's not completely drawn, and there are many places that I don't know if it's right or not, so I can verify it when I go out later." Qian Chao said.

Yan Xuan didn't understand why Qian Chao wanted to draw this map, and asked, "What's the use of this, isn't it possible that we will get lost outside in the future?" ”

"It's not like you get lost, but it's always useful," Qian Chao replied, "Come and see this." ”

Saying that, Qian Chao took out a piece of paper from the storage bag, which was also a map, naturally much smaller, there was not much pen and ink on the paper, and it was not from the hand of the previous dynasty at first glance, and it was simply drawn a few mountain beams and woods between the mountains, and the most conspicuous thing was to mark a line with thick ink, which finally pointed to a small circle under the mountain somewhere in the painting.

"What kind of picture is this, why can't you see it?" Tang Ping asked.

"Well, this picture was originally priced at twenty spirit stones!" Qian Chao said.

"What! Did you buy it for twenty spirit stones? Tang Pingqi said.

"Naturally not, this is a senior brother of Chengqitang who bought it from someone else before he went out, look, do you see this small circle?" Qian Chao pointed to the picture with his finger, "There is a cave there, and some ores in that cave are relatively rare and rare, the senior brother bought this map and then searched for it according to the map, and went to the cave to dig up the ore inside, and then this picture was naturally useless, so I asked for it." ”

Seeing that a few people still didn't understand very well, Qian Chao said again: "Do you know where this cave in this picture is probably outside the sect?" After speaking, without waiting for an answer, he pointed to the large map he had drawn by hand and said, "Look at the direction of this mountain, ah, and here, this mountain, forest, this river, I know roughly from the words of that senior brother where he went out of the sect, and then the cave is probably in this location." As he spoke, Qian Chao's finger tapped on his map.

A few people identified the place pointed by Qian Chao's finger for a while, and sure enough, the direction of the mountain range on the big map was very similar to that on the small map.

"That'...... Did you draw this map first, or did you get this little map from that man first? Tang Ping asked.

"Naturally, I drew this map first."

"You haven't been out again, how did this map come about?"

"Naturally, it looks like it is in the book, we Jiuxuan have a lot of books about what we have seen and heard outside, and after reading more, I drew the mountains and rivers mentioned in these books on paper, and at first marked where there are any properties and where there are dangers, and then stitched together page by page, and then I simply drew this big one again, but when I drew it, I found that here, here, and here, are all blank"

Qian Chao pointed to the blank space on his map and said

"I asked myself if I was wrong about the location and proportions, but it wasn't worth going because there was nothing there. Or is there any powerful demon beast there that is not suitable for Qi refining disciples, this is not clear. So I want to look for the books in your master's collection, if there is no record of these places in your books, then we will be able to leave the sect in the future, and we should be careful in those places, maybe for the Qi refining disciples, it will be a more dangerous place. ”

Li Jian couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and praised: "Well, Brother Qian has a point!" ”

Tang Ping also nodded and said, "You have a heart." ”

"Actually, this picture has other uses," Qian Chao said again, "Outside our sect, no matter where there are any products, such as spirit grass or something, even if it is taken away, it will probably regenerate after a long time, I have compared," Qian Chao said and scratched his finger on his map, "Along this line, there are many spirit grasses, but anything that can be written in the book must be some rare spirit grass." As he spoke, he drew his finger from the map again, "And along this line, there are many minerals, in fact, if you want to find it again, such a line can draw a lot, although not every place on this line has produced good things, but ......"

Yan Xuan understood, and interjected: "That means you can find those spirit grasses by looking for the direction of this line on the map, right?" ”

"That's right," Qian Chao said with a smile, "Actually, these lines are likely to be ......"

Tang Ping also said: "These lines are probably the direction distribution of the spiritual veins outside the sect, right? ”

"Yes," Qian Chao said, "When we go out in the future, all we can get in the temple is to find some spiritual grass or minerals outside, and bring us back with some things ourselves, with this map, we can avoid some detours." ”

The rest of the people listened and nodded their heads.

"That'...... Why isn't there a ready-made map to use in the division? Yan Xuan suddenly thought of a little and couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it may be that the outside of the sect is too big." Qian Chao said as he looked at his map.

"Well," Tang Ping nodded, "First, the sect is too big, and it is too general to draw on a piece of paper." Second, I guess the sect is also intentional, so that no matter what the disciples are looking for when they go out, they don't know where they are, and they will naturally go to inquire about the rich experience, and even if they go out, they will naturally be more cautious because of the long distance and dangerous road in the mountains, and walk with each other, take care of each other, and increase some experience, which is the same as walking in the cultivation world in the future. ”

Hearing this, Lu Pingchuan looked at Qian Chao's map and said: "Oh, speaking of which, I am the only one among us who has gone out, but, hehe, looking at Brother Qian's map, I really don't know where I have been, forget it, anyway, if you go out in the future, you will lead the way." ”
