After Zhou Xiang returned to the palace, Lan Ling and Chang Gongzi, who were resting, rushed over when they heard the news, and the ghost king held a banquet to celebrate, and everyone agreed to set off to participate in the forbidden formation competition in three days.

After the banquet, Zhou Xiang returned to the room to rest, and at this time, Lan Ling came to the door, and Zhou Xiang asked with a smile: "Are you tired of protecting my brother these days?"

"We just sat outside the formation and chatted for a while, and by the way, how could we be tired. Third brother, how is the process of building the foundation, there is no danger, right?" Lan Ling asked curiously.

Zhou Xiang smiled and began to talk about his foundation building process, the key points were particularly carefully, Lan Ling will definitely build a foundation in the future, and now he will talk about it in detail, and his sister will have more experience in the future, and there will be less danger. At the end of speaking, Zhou Xiang's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Lan Ling, how far has your cultivation reached?"

"Huh?" Lan Ling was still digesting Zhou Xiang's foundation building experience at first, and when he heard his brother's question, he no longer concealed it, "Third brother, I feel that I am about to build a foundation!"

"What!" Zhou Xiang was overjoyed and surprised when he heard this, he was happy that Lan Ling's qualifications were really not ordinary, he had always been a few levels higher than her, but he didn't expect that now that she had just advanced, she actually had to build a foundation, and she was surprised that it was very dangerous to advance in the Huangquan Realm, if she didn't ask today, if she built a foundation on the way to participate in the Forbidden Formation Competition, her sister would inevitably have to worry about her life.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiang couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you say it earlier, fortunately I asked you, otherwise you will be promoted on the way to Guiyang District, and the environment will be unknown at that time, and maybe your life will be in danger." Fortunately, the formation is still there, I have to hurry up and talk to the ghost king. With that, he got up and walked out.

"Third brother, aren't I afraid of delaying Sister Lin and their participation in the big competition?" Lan Ling explained behind him.

"Then you'll have to tell me, too. Xiao Lu can go first to participate in the big competition, the third brother must accompany you to advance, in this world, brother is such a close relative as you!" Zhou Xiang finished speaking, he went straight to the maid in the guest room, and under the leadership of the maid, he went to the prince's study, and Lan Ling had to follow behind.

A quarter of an hour later, the Zhou Xiang brothers and sisters left satisfied.

After returning to the room, Zhou Xiang told the foundation building process and experience in detail, and took out a bottle of Tsukidan and handed it to his sister, and then asked her to prepare it herself.

The next day, Lin Lu and the fat ghosts who learned that Lan Ling was also going to build a foundation were also extremely happy, they went to check the formation again, replaced some ghost stones, and made sure that nothing went wrong, and when Lan Ling entered the hut, the ghost king arranged several powerful subordinates into the periphery, and after the last few cultivators were greatly advanced, there were countless ghost cultivators who rushed to enter the big array, which made the ghost king very embarrassed, and finally simply took it as a reward, so that the meritorious subordinates had priority to enter. After the ghost guards of the Great Array learned that this formation could allow them to speed up their cultivation progress and that they could win it with meritorious service, their enthusiasm was high, and they also worked extremely hard to guard the place.

According to Zhou Xiang's calculations, it will take at least two months for Lan Ling to advance this time, and after driving away Lin Lu and the fat man and other friends, and letting them go about their own affairs, Zhou Xiang is ready to protect his sister alone, he opened a cave on the valley outside the big array, and intends to protect the Dharma while taking stock of materials and familiarizing himself with the spells and magic weapons after the foundation is built.

Since entering the Huangquan Realm, Zhou Xiang has obtained a lot of spirit stones and exercises, but his main practice is still the Three Qing Gong, which has corresponding cultivation formulas from Qi refining to transforming gods. In terms of spells, he mastered the fireball, water ball, thunderball, and electric rope technique, as well as the auxiliary imperial art.

In Li Xuankong's notes, it is recorded that in addition to spell exercises, the disciples of Sanqingmen also need to practice spiritual skills, which are used for training, fighting methods, and defeating the enemy. The former belongs to the palm method, the pursuit of rigidity and softness, the Tao is natural, the whole set of palm is divided into nine styles, refining qi and building the foundation in the early stage can practice the first type of 'three thousand avenues', this move pays attention to a palm out, a thousand palms follow, although only a palm contains a thousand palm changes, although there is a thousand palms of power, but the source of a palm, the higher the caster's cultivation, the greater the power of each palm.

'Mixed Yuan Sword' is a sword technique, taken from the meaning of the beginning of chaos, and the swordsmanship is peaceful, offensive and defensive.

Zhou Xiang roughly browsed the two spiritual skills, and after thinking for a while, he took out the Terran jade slip from the grocery store in Changyun City, which was more complicated, including maps, Danfang, and a few jade slips that introduced spiritual skills, which looked much inferior to Sanqingmen. Except for only one jade slip, that is "Feihong Swordsmanship", the beginning of this technique is: the world's martial arts, only fast and unbreakable! fairy world swordsmanship, time and space supreme! The old man has been in the world for thousands of years, and he peeked into a corner of the sword path on the occasion of his ascension.

At that time, Zhou Xiang's first feeling when he read this was that this person was too angry, but after continuing to read, he faintly felt that this technique was extraordinary, especially the second sentence of the opening paragraph: Immortal swordsmanship, time and space supreme! Although Zhou Xiang did not understand the meaning, but it actually mentioned the "fairy world", in Zhou Xiang's view, there were two possibilities, one is that the senior who called himself "old man" exaggerated and boasted about the atmosphere; the other is that he really understands the so-called fairy world. Some things would rather be believed than not, in case this swordsmanship is really a pearl in the sea and passed down by the fairy world, it will be a tyrannical thing to abandon and not practice.

Continuing to read, Zhou Xiang found that this set of swordsmanship is actually divided into three parts, namely Feihong Sword, Feihong Shadow, and Feihong Technique! And the purpose of cultivating this technique is only one: to increase speed! Feihong Sword is about how to speed up the speed of the sword, Feihong Shadow is about how to increase the speed of the monk himself, and the last Feihong Technique is about how to unite people and swords.

Zhou Xiang smiled after reading it, this "Feihong Swordsmanship" should belong to a very high-level auxiliary spiritual skill, combined with his current situation, it can just be practiced together, the palm can be practiced "Taixu Palm", and the swordsmanship can be practiced "Mixed Yuan Sword", and after the two are familiar, they can be supplemented by "Feihong Swordsmanship".

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Xiang decided to start with "Taixu Palm" first, he took out the jade slip and began to study it carefully, and after he memorized it, he silently ran a mantra, and then began to practice the first palm.

Half a day later, in the cave, Zhou Xiang's spiritual power suddenly rolled out a palm, and there was immediately a spiritual power gathering in front of him, but it collapsed into the air before it could form a palm shape. Zhou Xiang's brows furrowed but he was not discouraged, he continued to use his spiritual power and palmed it again, and so on until his whole body's spiritual power was exhausted. Then he began to meditate, rest, regain his spiritual powers, and then practiced again.

......

In the Yunyue Sect, in a spacious hall built halfway up the mountainside, dozens of Qi refining disciples were sitting upright behind their respective tables, listening to a monk lecture on the stage.

The disciples were obviously divided into two waves, one side was full of beautiful female cultivators, they consciously formed a circle, and in the center of the circle sat a beautiful woman with peerless elegance, it was Xu Wei. There were many men around the female cultivators, although most of them looked like they were listening attentively on the surface, but the corners of their eyes kept glancing at where Xu Wei was, and as for what the monks on the stage said, they didn't pay attention at all.

There are also a very small number of male cultivators, whose attention is completely focused on the stage, because in their hearts, all external objects are obstacles that interfere with their practice, and only outstanding monks can gain their approval, and as for their appearance, figure, and family background, they have no meaning in their eyes.

"Okay! Last time we talked about the making of water attribute talismans, I'm sure many of you went back to practice. Now I'll take a live assessment and see which of you has the best master!" said the talisman instructor on the stage slowly. As a female monk, her cultivation is not high, but her knowledge of basic talismans has far surpassed that of other male cultivators in the sect, and even some elders are not as perfect as she has mastered, so she will serve as a lecturer.

"Uncle Shi, the disciple has a question for me, since it is an assessment, what kind of talisman is considered qualified?" asked a male cultivator who was listening attentively. His question drew the minds of many men back. Only then did everyone notice that the lecturer was going to be assessed.

"This is simple, after drawing the water attribute talisman, you can judge the merits of the talisman by looking at it with the naked eye, prohibiting judgment, or stimulating a small stream of spiritual power. To put it simply, after the talisman is made, the excellent work feels very smooth and comfortable at a glance, and there is a rhyme contained in it. It is also possible to use special prohibitions to judge the merits of the talismans. The last one is that when we use a small stream of spiritual power to excite it, the more uniform and fine the water vapor emitted by the talisman, the better the quality. And what can't be excited is the waste product, the uneven water vapor is the defective product, the water vapor is uniform but coarse is counted as the middle grade, and the water vapor is the best if it is misty and persistent! ”

As soon as the lecturer finished speaking, several wails rang out from the hall, some of them worried that they would not pass the examination, and some of them were purely trying to attract the attention of the central friars.
