Xiao An found a jade slip in the storage bag, which recorded an exercise called "Heavenly Thunder Condensation Technique".

If a thunder attribute spiritual root practitioner practices this exercise, his progress will definitely be a thousand miles in a day. Cultivators who don't have a thunder spirit root can also practice this exercise, but their progress and power will be weaker.

When a monk who does not have a thunder spirit root cultivates this exercise for a period of time, he must first absorb a trace of thunder and lightning to form a "seed" of thunder and lightning in his body. After this "seed" grows, it can cast a thunder-attribute spell.

The monk can absorb a trace of celestial thunder during a thunderstorm, or absorb the sealed lightning in the "Thunder Falling" talisman.

However, the higher the quality of the lightning absorbed for the first time, the more powerful the thunder attribute spells will be cast in the future. Moreover, as the cultivation level of this exercise increases, the power of casting thunder attribute spells will also increase.

It's just that the benefits are proportional to the danger, and if the power of absorbing the heavenly thunder is too high, it is easy to cause the monk to be injured, and in serious cases, he will even lose his life.

Different from the common Five Elements Spells, without the Thunder Spirit Root, he can cast a thunder attribute spell, which is definitely a rare exercise in the cultivation world.

At this time, Xiao An realized that his three-foot storage bag was too small, and it was full before he could fill many things, so he could only silently transfer the items in the storage bag to the "space bead" hanging around his neck.

Although Xiao An was reluctant to accept this storage bag, the storage bag could not be put into other storage weapons, and Xiao An didn't want to be secretly killed by other monks as a fat sheep because he carried two storage bags.

At this time, the space bead has obviously been divided into several areas, not only the spirit stones and wind smelting copper materials that were stacked before, but also the leopard corpse obtained today and the items in this storage bag are also placed in the space bead.

There is also a bunch of medicinal herbs in the space bead, which is what Senior Brother Du needs, and it is also one of Xiao An's important tasks when he goes out this time.

In addition to this, there are a bunch of books and jade slips. and a mess of materials that were not available before leaving the sect.

And Xiao An's three-foot storage bag only contained sect clothes, more than a dozen spirit stones, small knife magic weapons and several different talismans, and even the fifth-layer qi refining talismans in the "Thunder Talisman" he had just obtained were all placed here.

Except for the lightning talisman, the other talismans are all finished products made by Xiao An himself in the past two years.

Making a talisman not only requires a variety of materials containing spiritual energy, but also absorbs the spiritual power in the monk's body, and each time Xiao An makes a talisman, it consumes three or even four times the spiritual power to cast this spell.

Xiao An can and can only make three talismans in a row now, but he usually only makes two, and he doesn't dare to consume his spiritual power easily.

......

When the full moon is in the sky, the pale white moonlight is sprinkled on everything, and a trace of coolness also infiltrates everything with the moonlight, giving people a feeling that the moonlight is as cool as water.

In the moonlight, in the woods.

Lingyue held the array plate in one hand, and the spiritual light flashed in the other hand, constantly adjusting on the array disk. Xiao An, on the other hand, kept walking around under the command of Lingyue, burying or digging out pieces of array disks from time to time, and adjusting the position of the array disks and burying them in the soil again.

After a long while, Xiao An stopped walking, leaving Lingyue to keep adjusting the array disk in her hand.

"It worked. Lingyue's crisp voice didn't stop, and the location of the two disappeared after a blur. And there is a weak tree in the place, which is inconspicuous in the shadow of the surrounding trees.

In the formation, there were several kinds of food in front of the two, Xiao An and Lingyue were sitting on the ground and eating Zhengxiang, but outside the formation, there was not even a trace of smell or sound.

After eating, the two took turns on duty, and when it was Xiao An's turn to be on duty, it was already the second half of the night. Xiao An, who was sitting in the formation, listened to the "whooshing" sound of the leaves outside the formation being blown by the wind, and looked at the heavy black shadows outside the formation and was a little distracted.

Suddenly, a black shadow walked out of the woods in the distance and stopped about thirty feet away from Xiao An and the others. The shadow came out without a sound, and in the darkness of the night, it was difficult to notice an extra figure in this position.

If Xiao An hadn't been staring in this direction, he wouldn't have noticed this person at all.

Xiao An quietly woke up Lingyue, and the two hurriedly restrained their breath, lying on the ground and looking at the black shadow in the distance vigilantly.

Fortunately, there is a formation barrier, and the other party will not sense his gaze.

Since the cultivation reached the fifth level of Qi refining, the monk's own sense would rise to a very high level, and he could sense the gaze of ordinary people looking at him, and could find out the location of the peeping person based on this sense.

And the more emotions are mixed in the peeping person's gaze, the clearer this sense becomes. Unless it is the peeper who reins in his own breath in advance, it is difficult to hide the other party's induction.

This figure that appeared in the middle of the night made Xiao An and Lingyue nervous. Fortunately, the black shadow stood there motionless as if waiting for someone.

Fortunately, Ling Yue pondered through this array tonight and successfully laid out this "Concealment and Concealment Illusion Array". It can conjure things that match the surrounding scenery, and can isolate the information in the formation from the outside world, so that people outside the formation will not be aware of it.

This array plate was a talisman given by Lingyue's master when she went out, but she did not tell Lingyue the details of the use of this array disk, so she could only explore it by herself, which was also a small test for Lingyue.

Lingyue's time to contact the formation was still a little shorter, although she kept groping and familiarizing herself with the performance of this formation along the way, and she was not sure that she would be able to arrange this formation until tonight, and even then it took nearly an hour and many adjustments to successfully arrange this formation.

After a short time, a dark shadow also walked out from the other side of the woods, and the previous black shadow immediately bowed down and walked towards the latter.

"Old Zou, you're here. The dark shadow that appeared first nodded and said to the person who appeared behind, his words full of stammering. If it weren't for the wilderness, it is estimated that this person would definitely pour tea and wine for the monks who appeared later like the shopkeeper.

"Well, hasn't the Golden Tiger come yet?" The monk who appeared later did not have any prevarication about the deliberate flattery of this person, but instead had a natural expression, and even the tone of his questioning revealed a hint of command.

Hearing the sound of a black shadow appearing behind him, Xiao An and Lingyue were both taken aback. Listening to his voice, it was clear that he was the hunchbacked old man who sold 500 copies of "Red Spear Incense" in the Fang Market that day, but his tone today was full of lofty meaning, which was not at all as humble as when he explained the source of medicinal herbs to everyone that day.

If Xiao An and Lingyue stayed at the old man's stall for a while that day, they would have been even more surprised at this time. Because the black shadow that appeared first was the ninth-level Qi refining monk who interrupted the shopkeeper's business with the hunchbacked old man.

A ninth-level Qi refining monk grovelled to a sixth-level Qi refining monk, and the news would definitely shock the jaws of the ground.

"That guy Golden Tiger has never been in tune, and every time it's either because he's greedy for a cup or because he's a woman. But Zou Lao rest assured, this guy is quite knowledgeable, and he won't delay much, and he will definitely arrive in a while. The black shadow who arrived first took advantage of the absence of this man named Golden Tiger and secretly put small shoes on him.

The hunchbacked old man ignored the other man's words, and the old man wished that the two of them would pinch each other, so as to ensure that his position as the leader of the small group would not waver.

More than a dozen miles away, a strong man with a long beard was carrying an altar in one hand and hurrying slowly. After each journey, the person would open the jar and take a few sips, and a rich aroma would come out of the jar and waft far away.

Less than ten miles behind the slanted beard, a monk was hurrying away. Upon closer inspection, he saw a small lizard running fast in front of the monk, about a foot long, and kept sticking its tongue out of its mouth as it ran.

Whenever the bearded man opened the jar, the little lizard would change direction and run towards the bearded monk.
