Chapter 116: You still know the formation

After the banquet, Li Yu and the disciples of each faction said goodbye one by one and returned to the Kunlun station.

Bai Qingying and the three Emei sisters are also here, this time, there are not many people from the Emei faction involved, and the three of them are here to see the world.

Li Yu observed with the hope qi technique, Senior Sister Bai had actually formed a golden pill.

Whether it is Jiang Li, Senior Sister Xu, or Senior Sister Bai of Emei, or Senior Brother Shangguan of Shushan, for the Tianjiao cultivated by these great sects, the starting point of their cultivation path is Jindan, which ordinary disciples can't compare.

However, geniuses like Xu Yi and Tian Qi are just lacking resources in the early stage, and when they cross the threshold of Jindan, cultivation is a matter of equality for all beings.

Li Yu didn't envy them either, although he was only building a foundation now, but it was not so easy for Jindan to reach Yuanying, and when he married Dan, they would still stay in Jindan.

The three sisters of the Zhao family have also succeeded in building the foundation, don't look at them all just building the foundation, but when they join forces, they can defeat the middle stage of the foundation building, and they also have the power to fight against the late stage of the foundation building.

The three sisters and Zhou Zixuan Ling'er had long been used to getting used to each other, so they simply stayed in Kunlun.

Half a day later, Li Yu and the other women, together with the Yuanying Patriarch sent by Kunlun, went to the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm to participate in the opening ceremony of the Immortal Dao Conference held by the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Heavenly Dao City is not a Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, to be exact, the entrance to the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm is on the towering giant peak in the center of Heavenly Dao City.

Passing through a huge dragon gate hidden in the clouds and mist, a hundred zhang wide and hundreds of zhang high, when he came to another space, Li Yu even stopped breathing for a moment, and was almost choked by the rich aura.

He originally thought that the aura of Kunlun Cave Heaven was already rich enough, but he didn't expect that the aura of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm was several times richer than that of Kunlun Cave Heaven.

It was not only Li Yu who was apnea, many disciples of other sects were caught off guard, and they were choked and even coughed, but this cough was also a happy cough, and they couldn't wait to be choked here every day.

Cultivating in such a place is much faster than in other places.

When refining qi and building a foundation, because the speed of absorbing spiritual energy itself is limited, some ordinary secret realms are enough to cultivate, and no matter how rich the spiritual energy is, their absorption speed is limited.

However, after the cultivation reaches the Jindan period, the dependence of the cultivation on the aura increases greatly, and it is inevitable that the higher the concentration of the aura, the better.

Li Yu could also understand why many disciples of the Great Sect were reluctant to go back after coming to the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm once.

However, it wasn't just the aura that shocked him.

Not far ahead, around a huge square, there are many seats, which have been arranged according to the sect and power, and the position of the Heavenly Dao Sect is in the main seat in front of it.

Kunlun's position was a little earlier, just below the left of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Li Yu glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and his brain was buzzing instantly.

Kunlun's Yuanying Patriarch, counting the real people in charge of the sect, there are a total of thirty-five, of which there are only nine in the late Yuanying period, but Li Yu glanced at the area of the Heavenly Dao Sect, there was a purple light flashing on his chest, he didn't count it, it was estimated that there were more than a hundred, plus those who did not attend, the Yuan Infant Stage of the Heavenly Dao Sect must have exceeded two hundred.

This number may be more than the Jindan Elder in Kunlun.

As for the Transformation Period, there are only nine in Kunlun, but among the powerhouses of the Heavenly Dao Sect, like the old man, Li Yu can't see through the cultivation at all, there are more than twenty, and these are definitely not all the gods of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Not to mention the legendary "Three Elders of the Heavenly Dao", the three ancestors of the Void Breaking Level.

No wonder the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect are so arrogant outside, they really have the capital to be arrogant.

Until today, Li Yu has a clear understanding of the strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

With this kind of strength, a Heavenly Dao Sect can sweep away all the righteous Dao sects except the Heavenly Dao Sect, and whoever dares to disagree can only hold back.

Li Yu's gaze stayed on the bodies of those who were strong in transforming gods, he had never seen them before, it seemed that the Qi Technique could only see through the cultivation under the gods, and it was useless to the Yuan Shen of the strong people.

The powerhouses of the Heavenly Dao Sect did not hide their powerful aura, although there was no malicious intent, but this invisible oppression still made many sect cultivators a little breathless.

I thought that Kunlun, Emei, and Shushan were already rare big sects in the world, but when I arrived at the Heavenly Dao Sect, I knew that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and there were immortal cultivation sects in this world that were so powerful.

At the opening ceremony, most people didn't remember what the sect master of the Heavenly Dao Sect who cultivated in the Divine Transformation Period said, and the next various programs, even the coolly dressed female disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect danced, they didn't have the heart to watch, and everyone's hearts were always immersed in the display of the powerful strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Li Yu quickly came back to his senses.

Nothing in this world is eternal, the former Tianyan Dynasty was even more powerful than the current Tiandao Sect, and now it is completely submerged in the long river of history, and few people know it......

However, he didn't look at the dancing female disciples either.

Because he sat Jiang Li on his left hand side, and Zhou Zixuan sat on his right hand, one was an official double monk, and the other was a girlfriend who had established a relationship for a short time, he could only look at his feet, or turn his head left and right to look at them.

Until the end of the ceremony, when everyone left the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm and returned to their residences, there were still many disciples who were silent.

Li Yu and Jiang Li, in the next half a month, there was nothing to do, and the exchanges between Dan Dao and Fa Xiu were all after half a month, and during this time, they could move freely.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Yu happened to sell some of the accumulated pills.

After taking over Yuxuan Peak, he had to refine many pills every month, and he couldn't digest them with just one Kunlun, and this time he just took advantage of the opportunity of the Immortal Dao exchange to sell all those pills.

So, Li Yu started his old business and set up a stall in Tiandao City.

The quality of the elixir he refined was naturally not good, and as soon as it was put out, it was coaxed by passers-by, especially after being recognized, some people who were waiting and watching also rushed to buy it.

After half a day's effort, Li Yu exchanged all the pills in his hand for spirit coins.

The price of the pill in Tiandao City is much more expensive than Kunlun, and the general pill is fifty percent more expensive, such as the precious pill of the Qi Gathering Pill Tongmai Pill, the price is even more expensive, no wonder there were many people who resold the Kunlun Pill before, and it was double the profit when they changed hands, who was not red-eyed.

The only thing that made Li Yu unhappy was that not long after he sold it, there was a manager of Heavenly Dao City staring at him, all transactions in Heavenly Dao City had to pay taxes, and once they were found to have evaded taxes, they would be fined several times the amount of taxes and expelled from Heavenly Dao City.

The tax rate of Tiandao City is very high, and thirty percent of the proceeds from the sale must be handed over, Li Yu reluctantly paid tens of thousands of spirit coins, and in the store of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he bought dozens of Tongmai Pills respectively, planning to go back to exchange for Tuomai Dan.

He originally wanted to buy the Tuomai Pill, but unfortunately, all the shops did not sell third-order pills, this kind of high-grade pills could only be obtained by becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, it seemed that even in the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Tuomai Pill was not a big commodity.

Fortunately, Tongmai Dan is not limited to purchase, Li Yu bought dozens of pills at a time, and the person who sold them was just a little surprised, and the pill was still brought to him.

After all, the spirit coin is issued by the Heavenly Dao Sect, and other immortal cultivators exchange their labor and resources for the spirit coin, and of course they can also exchange the spirit currency for resources, if this rule is broken, the credibility of the Heavenly Dao Sect will be wiped out, and the spirit coin system that was finally established will also collapse.

……

On the first day of the Immortal Dao Conference, there was an exchange of formations.

Li Yu was idle, so he took Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan to observe, and the three Emei sisters also followed, Xu Qian was not at ease, and also followed them.

The exchange of formations takes place on top of a stepped mountain.

It is said that it is an exchange, but it is actually a competition.

On each ladder of that mountain peak, a formation is arranged, and the disciples of each faction participating in the competition need to break through these formations one by one, and those who are the first to crack all the formations, and those who go to the highest ladder can take away the reward of the first place in the competition.

For the sake of fairness, the competition of the first-order array mage, the second-order array mage and the third-order array mage is separated, the reward for the first-order array mage is ten Tongmai Pills, the reward for the second-order array mage is ten Tuomai Pills, as for the third-order array mage, the cultivation has generally reached the golden pill stage, and there is no pill to use, and the reward is a precious high-level formation law book.

In the past formation exchanges, it was generally the home of the Huashan Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the disciples sent by other sects were all green leaves that set off them.

The Huashan faction is famous for its formations, and the formation masters of the immortal cultivation world, half of them are in Huashan, and they have extremely in-depth research on the way of formations, of course, the Heavenly Dao Sect, as the only all-powerful sect, has all kinds of talents in the sect, and there are many formation geniuses among them, and the Huashan faction also has the power to fight.

Kunlun only sent a second-order array mage over this time.

If you can't get a ranking, you can't get a ranking, you have to send someone over to participate, the huge Kunlun, you can't even send a second-order array mage, it will make people laugh when you say it......

Li Yu asked Xu Qianxin: "Formation exchange, is it a competition to break the formation?" ”

Xu Tianxin nodded and explained: "In the previous formation competition, it was to make array flags and array plates, but this coincided with the refining talismans, and it took a long time, and then it was changed to breaking the formation, for the formation mage, it is not difficult to make the array flag array plate and arrangement, the difficulty is to calculate the formation eye, which requires being extremely familiar with each formation and knowing their changes from moment to moment......"

The formation is different from alchemy, the way of the formation includes refining the formation tools, depicting the formation pattern, and the most difficult formation understanding, only by being familiar with all the changes in the formation can you deduce the location of the formation eye.

Li Yu felt that it was not difficult to calculate the array eye, and as soon as the Qi Technique was opened, it was clear where the array eye was.

For him, the difficulty is to make the array flag and the array plate, this thing not only involves refining, but also talismans, an excellent array mage, and the level of general refining tools and calligraphy talismans is not bad.

If the formation competition is to find the eye of the formation, then he can also go to him.

Of course, if there is no Qi Hope Technique, Li Yu is the entry level of the formation mage, but there is no hanging, isn't it stupid?

The first place in the competition, but there are ten Tuomai Pills, Li Yu pursed his lips, looked at Xu Tianxin, and asked, "Senior Sister Tingxin, can I participate in the formation competition?" ”

Xu Tianxin was slightly surprised and asked, "Do you understand the formation?" ”

Li Yu said: "I have learned a little, when I was in Ziyun Peak, a neighbor was a second-order formation mage, and I learned a little formation from him. ”

Li Yu casually took out a copy of "Introduction to Formations" from the storage space, and said: "Now, when I have nothing to do, I often study formations, and there are notes I made on it......"

Xu Tianxin glanced at it, and this formation book was really full of notes from him.

But after reading a book of "Introduction to Formations", there is a difference of 108,000 miles between the level of participating in the formation exchange of the Heavenly Dao Sect......

Those who can participate in this formation exchange are all leaders in the field of formations, and they are familiar with the changes of various high-level formations, which is equivalent to the level of the top ten in the Kunlun alchemist, Li Yu is only a formation apprentice at best, with his cultivation in the foundation building period, he can't participate in the competition of first-order formation mages, and if he participates in the high-level competition, he may not even be able to crack a formation, isn't it humiliating to go up......

She looked at Li Yu and said, "You have already built a foundation, you can only participate in the second-order and above the formation mage competition, do you know the second-order formation?" ”

Li Yudao: "Understand a little ......"

Xu Qianxin asked again: "Do you really want to participate?" ”

Li Yudao: "If you can, I want to try, if it doesn't work, forget it......"

Xu Tianxin had no choice but to say, "I'll help you ask." ”

In the formation exchange, Kunlun only had a second-order formation mage to participate, accompanied by an elder of the Jindan period, who was responsible for various matters of the competition.

Xu Tianxin walked in front of the elder of the Jindan period, and the old man took the initiative to arch his hand to her, and said, "I've seen Fairy Xu." ”

Although both of them are in the Jindan stage, he is already over four hundred years old, and Xu Tianxin is only in his early twenties, and his status in the sect is much higher than him.

After Xu returned the salute, he asked, "This elder, our Kunlun, do you still have a quota to participate in the formation competition?" ”

Although this old man was a little strange, someone from the sect wanted to participate in the formation competition, why did he say it now, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, every time the immortal path is exchanged, the first-order, second-order, and third-order formation mages of the sect have ten places, but they can't be used up every time." ”

In fact, it is not enough to run out, the first, second, and third-order formation mages of the sect have thirty places this time, but the sect has only sent a second-order array mage over and walked through the motions.

Kunlun Dan Dao is dominant, the formation is really not good at it, and the high-level formations of the sect are all bought from Huashan and Tiandao Sect.

If you really send thirty array mages over and don't get a single rank, it will really be a joke......

It is only when Dan Dao communicates, and the sect will send a full thirty people.

Xu Qianxin asked again: "Can I still participate in the competition now?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the formation competition is not over, you can participate." ”

He looked at Xu Qianxin and asked, "Is the Fairy of Falling Heart going to participate in the third-order array mage competition?" ”

When he was in the sect, he had never heard of the Falling Heart Fairy understanding the formation, not to mention, with her strength in the Jindan period, she could only participate in the third-order formation mage competition, and she didn't understand the third-order formation, did she plan to use mana to violently break the formation?

The third-order formation can't be broken with mana in the Jindan period......

Xu Tianxin smiled slightly and said, "It's not me, it's Senior Brother Li." ”

The old man in the Jindan period looked at Li Yu behind her, and was even more puzzled, Li Yu's alchemy is powerful, Kunlun is well known, but an alchemist who participates in the formation competition is the same as a formation mage who participates in Kunlun's Dan Dao competition and finally wins the championship......

But this time, he didn't say anything more, just silently handed Li Yu a sign.

If he wants to be embarrassed, he will lose it, and he can't even crack a formation for a while, and when he comes down, don't blame himself for not stopping it.

Li Yu took the sign, followed the guide, and soon walked to the bottom of the peak, and several disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect checked his sign, waved his hand, and let him pass.

Looking at Li Yu's back, one of them couldn't help but say: "It's only now, this formation mage is quite confident in himself, several formation geniuses of the Huashan faction are not as crazy as him......"

The formation test is the speed of breaking the formation, of course, the sooner the better.

In this moment's effort, those powerful formation mages of the Huashan Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect have already cracked the fifth formation, and he is only late, how can he catch up with them?

Li Yu walked all the way and had come to the first step.

Further forward, a gentle force gently flicked him away, and in front of him, there was obviously a formation.

There was no one in front of the first ladder, Li Yu looked ahead, and found that there was no figure on the second ladder, most of the people stopped in front of the third ladder, and a few people had already reached the fourth or even the fifth ladder.

The speed at which they broke the formation was quite fast, which was normal, the people who could come here had already been screened once in their respective sects, and they were all the elites of the second-order array mages, and any person's formation attainments, in Kunlun, were all indiscriminate killings.

Li Yu retracted his gaze and looked at the first formation.

Li Yu didn't know this formation, after all, he had only learned the introduction to the formation, and he knew a few of the most basic formations, and he hadn't learned all the first-order formations, let alone the second-order.

However, it is not difficult for him.

As soon as the light flashed in his eyes, a faint cyan barrier appeared in front of him, and the color of this barrier was evenly distributed, only one position in the upper left, much dimmer than the surroundings.

That is where the eye of the formation is, and it is also the weakest point of the entire formation.

Li Yu struck out with a mana, the barrier in front of him shook, and then slowly disappeared, and when Li Yu took a step and crossed this staircase, the barrier appeared again, and the array eye appeared in another position.

The design of this level is also exquisite, after the formation is broken, it can be reset, and the formation eye will also change, eliminating the possibility of others following suit and breaking the formation.

In the square not far away, Xu Tianxin saw that Li Yu had really cracked the first formation, and his red lips opened slightly in surprise.

She looked at Zhou Zixuan and said in disbelief: "Does he really understand the formation?" ”

Zhou Zixuan was also at a loss, and said: "I don't know, I only know that he often reads books, and there are ...... books on formations, talismans, refining weapons, and tricks."

In front of the second staircase, Li Yu looked at this barrier and saw the array of eyes, but when he stretched out his hand, the array of eyes disappeared, and the next moment, another position appeared.

This formation, compared to the previous one, has obviously changed a little.

He reached out again and pressed against the weak point of the formation, and in a moment, the man had appeared on the third step.

At this time, there were already many people beside Li Yu.

The first two levels were not difficult for these second-order array mages, but the difficulty of this level increased significantly, and many people were stopped for a while.

Attentively studying the formation, they didn't notice that there was one more person around them.

Li Yu looked at the dozen or so second-order array mages who stopped here, among these people, there were two Emei, three Qingcheng, two Maoshan, almost all the disciples of the major sects, and there was an old man in the crowd, wearing a Kunlun uniform.

They were all stopped by this formation.

Li Yu glanced at it, of course, there are array eyes in this array, but the array eyes are not fixed in one position, but move along a fixed trajectory, if there is no qi looking technique, you need to calculate with the knowledge of the formation, once you miscalculate, find the wrong position, and have to start again......

Everyone lined up in an orderly manner, everyone had thirty breaths of time, and if thirty breaths did not break the formation, they had to give up the opportunity to the next person and go to the back again.

Li Yu was at the end, thirty breaths passed quickly, in front of him, there were four people who passed this level, including Kunlun, after the formation was refreshed, the trajectory of the movement of the formation eye would also change, and those who were behind them would not have enough time to calculate, so they could only consider themselves unlucky.

When it was Li Yu's turn, he casually pressed his hand on a certain position on the formation, and easily broke the eye of the formation and came to the fourth step.

On the square, Xu Qian looked at Li Yu, who had arrived all the way unimpeded and came to the fourth step although he had arrived a long time late, and finally stopped doubting it.

He really knows how to form formations.

Not only understood, but also understood.

At this time, on the fourth step, many formation mages were sitting in place to rest, and they did not immediately break the formation, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

Calculating the position of the array eye, although it does not consume physical strength, but it is extremely exhausting, after breaking through three formations in a row, their heads are already groggy, and there is no way to continue, they can only rest and recuperate first.

Among them, the Kunlun second-order array mage looked at him inadvertently, and his expression suddenly froze.

At this moment, he suspected that he had overused his brain and hallucinated.

Otherwise, how could he see Li Yu, the genius alchemist of the sect, in the fourth level of the second-order array mage competition?
