Qingshu Island, southeast edge.

The darkness that enveloped almost the entire island came to an abrupt halt here, and from time to time there was the roar of a large number of lapping on the shore, and between the two steep cliffs facing the sea, a large area of tall ancient trees was sandwiched.

The branches of these ancient trees are dark red, and the dense verdant leaves curl up, and the leaves swell and rattle as the sea breeze blows.

A faint mist gathered from all around, and then disappeared here, and three or two groups of monks could be seen nearby, meditating and cultivating.

There is a thick formation light curtain with a dim yellow color, which is upside down in the center of this ancient wood forest like a sea bowl, and the luster on it is circulating.

Several figures quickly walked from the island and walked into this ancient forest, led by a wrinkled face and an old Qi Refining Great Perfection Realm monk, followed by a handsome young man in black, and a tall and fat Qi Refining Tenth Layer Monk.

Because of the abundant spiritual energy of the earth, the three or two groups of monks who spontaneously gathered nearby to cultivate were all awakened by this group of people.

After perceiving the cultivation of the old monk's Qi Refining Great Perfection Realm, these three or two groups of monks' complexions changed slightly, and their cultivation was generally only in the early stage of Qi refining and the middle stage of Qi refining, otherwise, they would not covet a little more abundant spiritual energy here and cultivate here.

"It's Lin Lao of the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce! It seems that someone has come to see this cave......" The clear-eyed person recognized the identity of the old monk, and transmitted the voice to his companions in a playful tone.

"This cave mansion only waits for the two Great Spirit Gathering Arrays on the island, and the next time it is displaced, it will be abandoned to the point that there is no spiritual energy left! Is there really an eye-opening foundation building predecessor who wants to rent it? When his companion heard this, he also sneered, shook his head, and replied.

Gu Qing noticed the faint fluctuation of his divine soul, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He glanced around indifferently.

Several Qi refining cultivators who were watching were crushed by Gu Qing's substantial gaze, and they were sad for a while, and they almost wanted to vomit blood, so they all got up and saluted Gu Qing with their fists, and then scattered as birds and beasts.

In the ancient woods, there was a salty sea breeze, and the long ink-colored hair that swept the sideburns, Gu Qing brushed his hair, withdrew his gaze, his divine sense swept the nearby terrain, and nodded imperceptibly.

It's secluded and unenveloped by the darkness of the island, separated from the sea by a steep cliff.

This old man surnamed Lin once said that this place is the overlap of two great spiritual gathering arrays. Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly, "The divine sense did not detect any traces of the formation in the surroundings, but it was indeed a large amount of spiritual energy, which was endlessly transmitted towards this place!" It seems that this Spirit Gathering Array should be a formation that can envelop a wide range. ’

Just when Gu Qing was thinking.

The old man surnamed Lin, who led the way in front of him, flipped over in his hand and took out a yellow-colored formation token, holding this formation token, the old man surnamed Lin opened and closed his lips slightly, and skillfully pinched out the fingers in his hand.

"Go!" The old man surnamed Lin quickly pinched the trick, shook his hand and threw the earthy yellow formation token forward, flicked his fingers and shot out a spiritual light, the spiritual light fell on the formation token, and immediately melted like snow, and then saw the earthy yellow formation token, which broke through the air and pasted on the dim formation light curtain in front of him. ….

Airplanes!

The dim formation light curtain trembled for a while, and just below the earthy yellow formation token, a gap two or three feet high cracked.

"Senior, please." The monk surnamed Lin touched the sweat that didn't exist on his head, turned around, and spoke to Gu Qing respectfully.

Gu Qing stared at the two or three zhang high mouth for a while.

He walked unhurriedly towards it.

The old-looking monk surnamed Lin glanced at the fat monk, his eyes seemed to be a little warned, and then followed behind Gu Qing.

'How will this senior be reminded by me?' In front of the door of the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce before, wasn't the bit of this cave house exposed to this senior's eyes...... Although I don't know why this senior has taken a fancy to this cave mansion, if this old man Lin dares to speak out and deceive ......

'Hey! ’

The fat monk shook the fat on his face, his expression became a little exciting, and he also stepped forward quickly, burrowing into the crack of the dim formation light curtain.

……

The dim formation light curtain circled an area of about four or five hundred zhang, and in this area, the four poles of the heavenly dome that the eye saw turned into a dim yellow color, and there was a yellow light with a melting warmth, filling the room, covered with pieces of abandoned spiritual fields for an unknown amount of time.

On the path in the spiritual field, Gu Qing, who was dressed in a black robe, walked forward, his divine consciousness radiated from his body, sweeping through the area circled by the light curtain of the dusky formation, and everything - whether it was the above-ground part or the underground part - was shrouded by Gu Qing's divine sense.

"Huh?"

Gu Qing was slightly stunned, and his face became a little strange.

With a flicker, he walked the path to a wide field near the center of the area.

A blue brick mottled cave is located here.

In front of the blue-black stone gate of the cave, in a dim pillar of light, there was a huge array disk exuding a heavy aura, and three slightly dim spirit stones were embedded in the array disk, urging this array disk to spread a dim yellow light towards the surroundings.

Gu Qing stared at this array for a few moments, and with a wave of his hand, the three slightly dim spirit stones were pulled out, and the thick pillar of light disappeared, emitting the dim light around him and disappearing, and the dim array light curtain that shrouded the surroundings was like foam, silently shattering.

"Your Hezhen Chamber of Commerce's formation master, the formation path attainments are really extraordinary, and you can actually use just three low-grade spirit stones to urge such a majestic formation." Gu Qing looked back at the old-looking monk surnamed Lin.

He just swept his senses, and he realized that this formation that shrouded a radius of four or five hundred zhang was nothing more than the condensation of the spiritual light emitted by the array disk driven by the three lower-grade spirit stones, and it was just a bubble that burst at the slightest poke, and it did not have the slightest defensive power.

I'm afraid that if the sea breeze is stronger, this formation light curtain will be blown out!

The old face of the monk surnamed Lin wrinkled, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Isn't this also the cave mansion that has been idle for a long time, in order to save spirit stones...... I also invited the seniors Haihan, and the juniors sent a message to the formation master in the Chamber of Commerce, and ordered him to rush here to start arranging the new formation! ”

"Not necessarily."

Gu Qing spit out the word lightly.

His gaze swept over the cave in front of him, stretched out his palm to hold it, and the thin spiritual mist that was originally floating around the cave was like flowing water, gathering on his palm, and suddenly turned into a cloud of spiritual energy. ….

He pondered for a moment and said: "The aura of this cave is indeed relatively abundant, if you only talk about the aura, there should be a level of the cave house arranged on the top of the three-grade spiritual veins, but I already know that the aura here will change due to the changes in the formation of the two great spirit gathering arrays on the island, and there will be corresponding changes, and most of the time, the aura of this place is in a state of exhaustion. ”

"If you rent it for a year, you will need six thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which is naturally extremely ......worthless," Speaking of this, he quietly glanced at the side, the monk surnamed Lin, who had an ugly face, changed his words, "However, I have the heart to buy this cave, I don't know how many spirit stones I need to pay off at one time?" ”

"Huh? This ......"

When the old monk surnamed Lin heard this, his lips moved.

His eyes were a little strange, he fixed his mind, and responded to Gu Qingdao: "The juniors have no right to decide on this matter, if the juniors really want to buy this cave mansion, the juniors can contact Vice President Xu, and Vice President Xu Ping Suli is responsible for managing these rented cave mansions on Qingshu Island." ”

"Since you really bought this cave mansion, how can you be deceived by this junior? You should contact Vice President Xu and make a few turns...... I don't know, Han Xiaoyou, would you like to go around with someone? Gu Qing bowed slightly, waved away the aura in his hand, and said so.

"The younger generation is honestly afraid."

The fat monk's face shook and he stepped forward quickly.

……

"It's this fellow Daoist who wants to buy this cave mansion?" Vice President Xu of the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce, a white-faced and beardless middle-aged Confucian monk dressed as a monk, his cultivation aura was in the foundation of the fivefold, and after he hurried over, he learned about the situation from the old man surnamed Lin, and then looked at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was expressionless and did not respond.

Vice President Xu frowned slightly, stretched out quietly, and said with a smile: "Although the location of this cave mansion is not good, and there is no defensive formation, it is the cave mansion built on the spiritual vein of Qingshu Island after all. ”

"Daoists should know that every inch of land on Qingshu Island is valuable, and if you want to build a cave house privately, you will violate the taboo of each family, and you will be hunted down and killed by all the monks, and the cave house built by yourself has no spiritual fire born from the spiritual vein, no spiritual spring, and no fertile spiritual field that has been opened up......

Vice President Xu spoke for a long time, and finally quoted the price: "Yes, if Daoist friends really want to buy this cave, they need to pay off 55,000 medium-grade spirit stones at one time." ”

As the words fell, Vice President Xu's eyes were fixed on Gu Qing's face, as if trying to capture the change in emotions from Gu Qing's face.

"Fifty-five thousand medium-grade spirit stones?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows.

He was able to take out so many spirit stones.

But if he really took out so many spirit stones neatly and without saying a word, then it is impossible to say that in the next few days, there will be a monk who will come to meet him and do that murderous and treasure thing...... In addition, he didn't think that such a cave mansion was really worth a huge amount of money of 55,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

With so many spirit stones, you can already buy a superb spirit weapon!

You only need to fill in another 5,000 spirit stones, and make up enough 60,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and you can buy two bottles of third-grade low-grade Indigo Jiao Casting Pill!

For monks, the elixir to improve cultivation and the spiritual weapon to enhance strength are obviously much more precious than a mere cave mansion - as long as the means of defense are arranged, where can you not meditate and cultivate? ….

"A maximum of 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones can be produced." After pondering for a while, Gu Qing looked at Vice President Xu and spoke.

"Shhh...... 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones...... Is that a little too little? When Vice President Xu heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and he looked embarrassed, pacing in place, as if it was difficult to decide.

Gu Qing looked at Vice President Xu who was pacing, his eyes flashing slightly.

The five-colored aura radiated from his body, hiding his figure underneath, and after a while, he revealed his figure again, already holding a storage bag in his hand.

"Vice President Xu, 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones have all been in this storage bag." Gu Qing spoke loudly, attracting the fat monk and the old man surnamed Lin on the side, all of whom were short of breath to look at the storage bag.

As he spoke, Gu Qing handed the storage bag to Vice President Xu.

Vice President Xu's brows were still furrowed, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Qing deeply, then stretched out his hand and took the storage bag.

The next moment, his eyes lit up.

A smile appeared on Vice President Xu's face, and then quietly disappeared, and he sighed half-tangledly: "Alas! Since the day this cave was built, it has often been idle, and now it is worth selling it to Taoist friends! I don't know what this Taoist friend is called? In the next congratulations. ”

Vice President Xu's divine sense reached into the storage bag, looking at the forty-five thousand medium-grade spirit stones in it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could hardly be suppressed.

The interests of the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce are not completely equivalent to his interests.

This time, he sold this cave with 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones, although the price was slightly low, but as long as he nodded, the high-level of the Chamber of Commerce would not ask, and these 30,000 spirit stones, how much he could get was not certain, but the other 15,000 medium-grade spirit stones in the storage ring could be directly loaded into his storage ring and become part of his net worth!

"It turned out to be Xu He Xu Daoyou! Under Gu Qing. Gu Qing responded with a chuckle on his face and clenched his fists, he had expected the reaction of Vice President Xu Hexu, and he was not surprised.

Next, Xu He took Gu Qing back to the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce, took out something similar to a title deed in the mortal world, handed it to Gu Qing, and then crossed out the cave mansion that Gu Qing bought, and the corresponding bright light point from the island, announcing that the cave mansion built on the edge of Qingshu Island is now owned by Gu Qing.

The door of the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce was open, and two figures walked out of it one after the other, and Xu He, who sent Gu Qing out, smiled with a red smile: "Hahaha!" Xu and Brother Gu really hit it off at first sight! ”

"Huh! What Brother Xu said, Gu Mou decided to think about it. Gu Qing responded with a chuckle on his face and a calm tone.

"Brother Gu doesn't have to worry about the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, being a guest of my Hezhen Chamber of Commerce will not affect anything!" Xu He looked serious and said to Gu Qing, at this time, he seemed to have just remembered something, and took out a golden talisman, "In the future, if Brother Gu has leisure, you can use this talisman to participate in the trade fair of my Hezhen Chamber of Commerce once every three years......"

The trade fair is held in the middle of this Hezhen Chamber of Commerce. ’

"Every trade fair is set in mid-July, and the participants in the trade fair are all the same people who build the foundation in the Linyu Sea area, and there is no cumbersome and extravagant thing like the auction, only trading, and go with it." ….

Gu Qing took this golden talisman, only to realize that it was very hard, not a real talisman, and seemed to be made of gold and iron.

"Brother Xu's kindness, Gu Mou's heart, if there is time at the trade fair in the future, Gu Mou will not miss it." Gu Qing clenched his fists and spoke, and then Xu He talked a few words before leaving.

Xu He looked at Gu Qing's departing figure, the smile on his face gradually turned cold, and his eyes changed for a while, as if he was struggling.

He took out a communication talisman in his hand, but quickly put this communication talisman away, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the darkness that shrouded Qingshu Island: "Forget it, if you take out such 45,000 medium-grade spirit stones at one time, most of this person's net worth has been squeezed out, even if you capture it, you may not be able to gain much...... If the final income is not as good as the price of those people, it will be a joke. ’

'Besides, this person is quite sensible......

Xu He turned around and returned to the Hezhen Chamber of Commerce.

……

Gu Qing rushed all the way back to the southeast edge of Qingshu Island.

The cave mansion located in the ancient wood forest between the two cliffs was no longer covered by the dim formation light curtain, the mottled walls of the cave mansion were covered with chaotic vegetation, and a thick white spiritual mist was circulating around it, and the two passing qi refining cultivators were stopped by this scene, watching from a distance, and whispering something.

Gu Qing's figure walked out of the darkness that shrouded the island, flying like a phantom, and suddenly passed through the ancient wood forest and came to this cave mansion.

On the order of Vice President Xu Hexu, the old man surnamed Lin, who was waiting here, only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and there was an additional young man in a black robe.

"Senpai." The old man surnamed Lin was an agitated spirit and hugged his fists.

Seeing this, the fat monk who was waiting here with the old man surnamed Lin also hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed to Gu Qing as well.

"I have bought this cave, you can go yourself." Gu Qing had a flash of inspiration in his hand, took out two medium-grade spirit stones, and threw them to the old man surnamed Lin.

Then, Gu Qing's gaze turned to look at the fat monk surnamed Han: "Han Xiaoyou, don't forget what you said before. ”

"The kid will never forget, and he will find out."

The fat friar's body was tense and his face was solemn.

"If you can find one of them, you will not be stingy." As he spoke, Gu Qing stepped into the air and soon walked to the top of the cave.

He looked at the area of four or five hundred zhang below, touched his chin, thought about it for a while, and waited for the old man surnamed Nalin and the fat monk surnamed Han to leave, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his hand, and several small earthy yellow flags appeared.

Among the three sets of formations that Ye Ah obtained from this woman, only this set of formations seemed to be defensive formations. Gu Qing threw out a few small earthy yellow flags, ordered them to hang by his side, and took out a total of seventeen of these earthy yellow flags in a row, plus the few earthy yellow flags he took out before, in mid-air, there were already twenty-four earthy yellow flags.

'Twenty-four array flags. ’

Gu Qing captured these array flags with his divine sense, his figure gradually fell, and he returned to the ground, he stood in front of the cave, first took out three earth-attribute medium-grade spirit stones, and embedded one of them into the array plate in front of the cave, and immediately, the earth-colored formation light curtain condensed around.

After the earthy yellow formation light curtain condensed, Gu Qing flicked his robe, and on the ground in front of him, the array disk corresponding to the twenty-four array flags appeared—this was a circular array disk of more than six feet, only about seven or eight inches high, like a compass attached to the ground, and there were five grooves that could be embedded in spirit stones evenly distributed on it. ….

It is marked with the eight directions of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Kun, Li, Xun, and Dui, which should be based on the Bagua Array.

"It is a change of formation for the Bagua Array......"

Gu Qing muttered to himself.

His divine sense carefully swept over the twenty-four array flags: "These twenty-four array flags, although they are not much different at first glance, are different after all...... If I were to arrange a defensive formation out of thin air, it would be impossible, but with the array flag and array plate in hand, it would not be difficult. ”

Gu Qing's figure flickered, turned into a ray of light, and quickly moved up under the light curtain of the earthy yellow formation, following the subtle differences on it, and according to the direction of the distribution of the gossip, he hit the earth and stones again, and soon, he returned to the front of the formation.

"This array disk can be embedded in five spirit stones...... With Ye A's net worth, this array should not be driven by medium-grade spirit stones. Gu Qing took out five earth-attribute top-grade spirit stones and embedded them one by one in this array disk, but after doing all this, there was no movement!

Gu Qing's brows furrowed.

"Wrong?"

His gaze swept around, landed on the dim pillar of light on the side, took out the three medium-grade spirit stones embedded in the array disk embedded in the pillar of light, and then put this rough array disk into the storage ring.

He placed the array disk embedded in the five high-grade spirit stones in the slowly fading pillar of dim light, and after a long time, there was still no response.

Gu Qing's divine sense shrouded the surroundings, watching the earthy yellow formation light curtain shattered, circling around the array disk in front of him, and suddenly reaching out to inject spiritual power into it, as he injected spiritual power into it, this array disk really lit up with a faint spiritual light, starting from the depression where the five earth-attribute top-grade spirit stones were embedded, and small spiritual patterns spread out on the array disk.

In the blink of an eye, the array disk seemed to turn into a round of earthy yellow sun, exuding a heavy earthy yellow light, but the formation had not yet been launched, Gu Qing's expression moved slightly, and one hand slammed through the thick earthy yellow light, holding this array disk and slowly rotating half a circle, as if correcting a certain direction, and immediately, the earthy yellow light swept over his figure, knocking him upside down and flying out.

Airplanes!

The heavy earthy yellow color light condensed on the twenty-four array flags, echoing the array disk in the center, a formation covering a radius of five hundred zhang Huo Ran took shape, and the surrounding earth power rolled and gathered, and in an instant, the area shrouded by this formation was transformed into a low bare hill!

The bare hill changes a little, and there are ancient trees growing out of thin air on it, and it will be all over the mountains and fields in a short time, completely integrated with the surrounding ancient wood forests, and there is no half point of abruptness.

Gu Qing, who was in the middle of the formation, saw through the formation, and landed on this hill with a slight shock, and opened his mouth slightly.

'This formation is so wonderful that even the divine consciousness can't easily distinguish the true from the fake? I don't know if if it is stepping on it, whether it is the same as stepping on the peak of the actual existence, the senses are the same...... 'Gu Qing's mind turned a little, and he withdrew his divine sense.

He condensed his body and consciousness into the array, and felt that he had absolute control over this formation, he did not manipulate the formation, so that the formation situation changed, but quietly sensed the state of the five high-grade spirit stones, and confirmed that with the current spiritual energy consumption rate, the five high-grade spirit stones could last for several years, so he nodded with satisfaction.

After that, he no longer cared about the formation.

The two heavy stone gates of blue and black color, about three zhang high, were captured by his divine sense as Gu Qing's mind moved, and they rumbled up.

After the rich spiritual mist rose from the stone gate, it gushed out from the cave, he took a deep breath, and immediately like the long whale absorbing water, he incorporated all the spiritual mist gushing out of the cave into his body, and the exercises in his body ran rapidly, refining it into pure spiritual power, and returning to the dantian qi sea.

...
