The lord of the city, Shang Luo, was seriously injured and did not know where to retreat, while Hogg and Qin and Hai were safely exiled to another city far away and settled. **Fastest Update**

The strange old man Leng Hong controls Haishi City, and Leng Yunqing controls Leng Yunshan, and the two of them release bounties all over the world through various channels, just to find the traces of Zhou Dong.

Relatives are far away, and the enemy is rampant, so Zhou Dong cherishes this place very much. In order to have a more suitable and safer environment for cultivation, Zhou Dong did not hesitate to spend his blood to arrange his cave mansion.

The spars that can store spiritual power are divided into several categories: low-grade, high-grade, and superb. In Sea Soul Island, the spiritual power is strong, so ordinary spars are not so valuable. However, the best spar is actually far beyond the concept of ordinary spar, and the energy it contains is incredibly rich and incredible, almost solid, and it is an excellent material for arranging arrays and blessing furnaces.

As a result, the price of the best spars is also staggeringly high.

At this moment, Zhou Dong's consciousness moved, and from the storage ring, a spar the size of a finger popped out.

Looking at the spar, you can see the egg-green substance that is almost solidified inside, and the spar is held in your hand, and the strong spiritual power fluctuations make people's consciousness extremely refreshing. It was as if within this small spar, it was compressed into a surging and roaring ocean of spiritual power.

This is the best spar that makes people crazy about it.

A fourth-level spirit array, ordinary spars can last for three years, while top-grade spars can last for three hundred years.

Now, Zhou Dong squandered these top-grade crystals as if he didn't want money, and in the cave, with the pinnacle array ability he had realized now, he laid down an extremely condensed and huge fourth-level spirit gathering array.

Shang Yaqing had already put away the fire essence at this moment, smiled warmly in her heart, and watched Zhou Dong busy.

When the last superb spar was inserted into the cave wall under the control of the true yuan force of the circumference, in an instant, within the dense spar, starting from the most central point on the four walls, a ripple of energy like a sea tide spreads out.

The fourth-level Spirit Gathering Array runs automatically.

At this moment, in the dark cave as dark as night, the stars lit up by the four walls at this moment are as beautiful as the mysterious starry sky.

From the spirit gathering array, there was a strong attraction to the aura.

After a while, the spiritual power mist in the cave became more and more dense, if it weren't for the two of them who had achieved success in cultivation and their eyes were like electricity, they would have stayed in the cave at this moment and almost couldn't see the person two meters away.

And the aura is still converging at a visible speed.

In such an environment, one can imagine how fast the cultivation will be.

At this time, Zhou Dong's consciousness moved, and he took out another spirit jade bottle from the storage ring, handed it to Shang Yaqing and said: "Senior sister, this bottle is the Zhuji Zengyuan Pill, which is an auxiliary thing for cultivation, you will take one a day in the future, refine the Dan Qi, and then your body will absorb the spiritual energy cultivation power in the cave, and then absorb the heaven and earth fire energy of the Condensing Fire Array through the fire essence, I believe that your strength level will soon have a big breakthrough." **Fastest update**"

Shang Yaqing was moved at this moment and nodded lightly.

Zhou Dong thought for a while, and then took out a few yellowed and quaint spirit runes from the storage ring.

"Senior sister, you also put away these few spirit devouring runes, when you practice, you use your own true yuan to refine the rune qi, and inhale the rune qi into the body, a spirit rune can make you absorb spiritual power faster than two percent faster in three months. ”

At this time, Zhou Dong had already considered Shang Yaqing to the fullest.

Under the impetus of so many external conditions, Shang Yaqing's cultivation speed will surely soar all the way. And the higher her cultivation, the more she will be able to protect herself when she encounters danger in the future.

After saying this, Zhou Dong was about to step towards the outside of the cave.

Shang Yaqing was stunned: "Senior brother, where are you going?"

Zhou Dong turned around and smiled slightly: "How can you do it without protection in the cave mansion, senior sister, you cultivate first, and I will go outside to lay down a few mountain protection arrays." ”

I don't know when the danger will be, or what level of danger it will be.

Zhou Dong will not joke with his life, he will take precautions, and he must do all the defensive work in the early stage, so as not to be in a hurry and at a loss when he really encounters something.

Shang Yaqing admired this mysterious junior brother from the bottom of her heart at this moment.

She also learned a lot of survival lessons from Zhou Dong-

Zhou Dong went out, Shang Yaqing sat cross-legged on the stone bed next to the Fire Condensing Array alone, first took out the Spirit Devouring Talisman that Zhou Dong gave her, pulled out one, bit her index finger, and at the same time the True Yuan Force induced vomiting, and a drop of blood and True Yuan Force fell on the Spirit Rune at the same time. ,

In an instant, the strange and mysterious rune lines on the spirit rune all lit up at once, and in an instant they were dazzling, "bang", the spirit rune exploded in the air, disappearing without a trace, and a wave of mysterious power suddenly merged into Shang Yaqing's body, she felt that in this moment, there seemed to be a strong attraction in the body, and the surrounding aura rolled and automatically penetrated into the body.

This feeling made Shang Yaqing overjoyed.

She took out the spirit jade bottle again, poured out a Zhuji Zengyuan Pill and put it into her mouth.

The elixir melted in her mouth, and a strong Dan force rushed into her limbs along her throat, and she felt comfortable all over her body for a while, and her whole body was fluttering like she was about to fly, and countless impurities in her body were discharged from her body with the pores.

Shang Yaqing did not slack off at this moment, and summoned the fire essence with her heart, like a flame spirit, the fire spirit happily flew to the sky above the eye of the condensing fire array, activating this fourth-level spirit array, and an extremely pure flame energy poured directly into the fire essence's body, and the fullness of the energy made the fire spirit dance in the flames excitedly. **Fastest Update**

Shang Yaqing felt an extremely strong energy surging into the dantian through the heart fire at this moment, and the feeling of fullness transmitted from the fire spirit made her extremely excited.

Taking a deep breath, Shang Yaqing pinched a seal in both hands, and instantly entered the meditation practice.

The surging power rushed towards her body like a tidal wave, wave after wave, and at this moment, Shang Yaqing felt that the speed at which her skill was improving seemed to be visible to the naked eye. She never knew that the feeling of cultivating would be so refreshing.

From a distance, at this moment, a small aura cyclone had formed around her, Shang Yaqing's body was in the center of the cyclone, and the aura as rich as water was frantically poured into her body, and she was running her mind to refine it extremely quickly.

A whole month passed.

With more than 30 days of sleepless practice, Shang Yaqing felt that her skills had made great progress.

On this day, Huo Ran, she felt that her power had grown to a critical point, and the surging True Yuan Power exploded like a volcanic eruption, and in the dantian, the True Yuan Grains that rotated like nebulae split in an instant, and the density of the entire nebula group doubled at once.

At this moment, Shang Yaqing felt that her body was filled with a boiling power, and this sense of power made her know that her ability had at least doubled compared to before.

Huo Ran opened his eyes and recalled the fire essence, Shang Yaqing stretched out her index finger and swiped lightly at the air, and a chilling sword qi "snorted" more than half a foot long.

With an instant ecstasy on her face, Shang Yaqing knew that within this month, she had broken through, and now she had successfully advanced to the middle stage of Jindan.

And at this moment, from the entrance of the cave, a figure merged into the prohibition, as if squeezing in from a ripple, and Zhou Dongmian walked in with a hint of exhaustion.

Shang Yaqing jumped up from the stone bed like a little girl at this moment, and quickly ran to Zhou Dong's side and shouted happily: "Zhou Dong, I have broken through, I have broken through to the middle stage of Jindan." ”

"Really?"

Zhou Dong's face was also full of joy when he heard it.

Gently extending her divine sense, covering Shang Yaqing's body, she felt the power in her body, and there was an extremely obvious improvement, and her strength almost doubled.

"Great. ”

Zhou Dong said with a smile.

"Senior sister, wait for these stone tablets and you find time to refine them, these stone tablets control the defensive array outside, and you will manipulate them in the future. ”

Zhou Dong took out seven stone tablets the size of a child's arm and handed them to Shang Yaqing one by one.

After taking these stone tablets, Shang Yaqing's sandalwood mouth opened slightly, and her eyes were full of incredulity:

"Zhou Dong, in the past month, you have actually laid out seven mountain protection arrays?"

Zhou Dong smiled and nodded.

Shang Yaqing didn't know what to say.

The fourth-level spirit array is both simple and complex.

Like the arrows made by Zhou Dong himself, it is the simplest one.

And the Mountain Protection Array, such a four-level spirit array is arranged, but it needs to evolve hundreds of thousands of changes to achieve the strongest defense and attack power. With such a difficult array, it was extremely exhausting to arrange one, and within a month, Zhou Dong had laid out a full seven.

How fast it would be.

Zhou Dong also felt that this month was too fulfilling.

By arranging the Mountain Protection Array, his understanding of the fourth-level formation path had been raised to a whole new level. I think that when he was in the Qingmeng Continent, he was admitted to the inner disciple of the Jiwu Upper Academy, and the instructor Xing Feng once said to him that if a person wants to improve his strength the fastest, the only way is to fight.

And arranging the mountain protection array, Zhou Dong is equivalent to conducting a actual battle of the formation drill. ,

The fourth-level formation path that Hogg passed on to Zhou Dong only taught the basic deduction ideas of the formation path. It's like teaching you how to recognize a drop of water, but what Zhou Dong needs to do is to deduce a complete ocean from this drop of water. At that time, he could be regarded as reaching the peak of the fourth-level formation path.

These days, when Zhou Dong laid down the first mountain protection array, he could feel that this great array had almost exhausted all of his mental strength, and there were hundreds of thousands of changes in the spirit array, each of which was pulling countless other changes, interlocking. Extrapolating from each of these changes, the evolutionary superposition of changes is almost endless.

Although the large array was successfully laid down, he felt that there were still quite a few places that he did not understand and grasp in detail.

Therefore, in one go, Zhou Dong laid down six fourth-level mountain protection arrays in a row on this basis.

With each one, he felt that his understanding of the path was much more sophisticated—

"Senior brother, what kind of formations are you arranging?"

Shang Yaqing asked.

Zhou Dong pointed to those stone tablets and explained to Shang Yaqing one by one: "These two are defensive prohibitions, this is the Condensation Array, which specializes in attacking the intruder's divine sense, this is the Burning Plains Array, this is the Frozen Thousand Miles Array, this is the Qimen Illusion Array, and this is the Hidden Front Array. ”

Shang Yaqing blinked her eyes and asked suspiciously, "Senior brother, are we preparing to start a war with any force?" With so many large arrays, even a cultivator army can't attack it." ”

"Hahaha-"

Zhou Dong burst out laughing.

"Senior sister, I may be overly worried, but we are on the run now, the enemy is too strong, so be prepared. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Shang Yaqing nodded deeply.

Only then did she know that Zhou Dong was by no means lucky to be able to survive the endless bandits in Lengyun Mountain by herself.

In this world where the weak eat the strong and strength is respected, we must first think about defeat before we win, and use all the forces that can be used to protect ourselves, which is the guarantee of survival-

The two continued their retreat in the chamber.

Shang Yaqing was reluctant to refine the seven-sided stone tablet day and night.

The power of the great array is all condensed on the stone stele, and every time one is refined, the power of a large array is mastered, Shang Yaqing does not dare to slack off, and condenses the true yuan power of the whole body into the stone stele.

And Zhou Dong just rested and adjusted for a day, and then started the process of refining again.

For Leng Yunqing's release of a bounty for pursuit, Zhou Dongchai can also guess. Sea Soul Island is too big, and the power of Leng Yun Mountain alone is not enough to find a person who has the intention to hide.

However, he can secretly post a high bounty through the network he has established in the field. At that time, there will be cultivators who are greedy for bounty to pay attention to this.

In such an environment, if Zhou Dong wants to hide and practice with peace of mind, there are only two paths, one is to hide in the wild mountains, and the other is to join a copycat force.

Hiding in the deep mountains in the wild, although it is better to hide without contact with people, however, there are too many spirit beasts and monsters of all levels in the wild, and within the hidden array, the cultivator's divine sense cannot be detected, but the nose of the spirit beast can be smelled, and although there is a large defensive array to resist these beasts, it will definitely be exposed after a long time.

On the contrary, it is much safer to join a faction.

Sea Soul Island is so big, how much can Lengyun Mountain's connections cover.

Therefore, Zhou Dong cherishes such an environment very much. In the next few years, if he wants to retreat and cultivate, then first of all, he has to arm these teams in charge of fighting, so that they can deal with anything on their own.

The first thing that appeared in Zhou Dong's palm were a few pieces of ore the size of a fist with a cold and shiny luster.

This kind of ore is called Moon Yin Essence, which is born with cold attributes, and has a bonus effect on the cold true element force, and the ore is extremely dense, and it is harder than refined iron.

With a "bang", the Golden Crow True Flame ignited in the palm of his hand, and the Moon Yin Essence Ore was refined by this Extreme Flame, and all the impurities volatilized and dissipated, leaving only the extremely pure ore essence.

Slowly, a long sword glowing with a cold moonlight gradually took shape in Zhou Dong's hand.
