48: Conspiracy looms

Perseverance, patience, and silence are things that immortal cultivators must overcome.

After all, immortal cultivators are not like mortals who earn and rest at sunrise, they don't even have normal rules of life, and some just have never-ending and endless cultivation.

When cultivating, monks not only have to overcome the loneliness brought about by the environment, but also maintain a stable state of mind, which is definitely a kind of physical and mental torture for mortals.

One can imagine the perseverance required to do the same thing over and over again for a long time, and the feeling of silence and boredom is definitely a great challenge to the monk's state of mind.

Although immortal cultivators are beyond mortals and have power beyond the reach of mortals, naturally they also need to bear the changes in their state of mind with the passage of time.

Although Zhan Feng's breakthrough time was not long, the time of cultivation was not short, and during the period of penance and inability to break through, he had already experienced the ups and downs of cultivation, and his state of mind could not be compared with that of ordinary monks.

In particular, the changes in his childhood made him deeply experience the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the human heart, which not only created his cautious character, but also allowed him to sharpen a persevering heart.

The boredom in cultivation, failure, and not daring gave him the courage to become more and more courageous the more he fought.

Resuming meditation, the depiction of his senses, and repeating over and over again Zhan Feng didn't know how many times he had experienced, the boredom and tastelessness did not make him give up, Zhan Feng had always kept his mind one, repeating the monotonous and boring movements in his hands over and over again.

White Jade Mirage, two days later.

Zhan Fengjian's eyebrows furrowed slightly and stirred a few times, his expression was extremely focused, and only two words could be seen from his childish face—serious.

Zheng!

There was a faint tremor.

The jade floating in front of Zhan Feng suddenly emitted a white light, trembled slightly, and a golden bell formation slowly and orderly appeared in the jade.

The lines are sober and looming, and the formation lines in the jade are like fossil creatures frozen in the jade, dexterous and vivid, lifelike, as if there is life embedded in it, and the plain jade is filled with a faint fairy aura at this time.

Call!

Zhan Feng opened his eyes, exhaled lightly, withdrew his sense, and looked at the glittering jade in front of him, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

The hard work paid off, and it took two days for Zhan Feng to finally engrave the formation of the Golden Bell Array on the jade, and the joy in his heart was irrepressible.

Stretching out his hand to grab it, the jade floating in the void was grabbed by Zhan Feng in his hand, and after careful observation for a while, Zhan Feng waved his hand, and ten spirit stones instantly floated into the air, and Zhan Feng's purple mansion spiritual power turned, and a stream of pure spiritual power shot out from his hand, like a spider spinning silk, and instantly wrapped the ten spirit stones floating in the void tightly.

When Zhan Feng's spiritual power completely wrapped the ten spirit stones, Zhan Feng's mind moved, his right hand condensed into two fingers, and immediately used the spirit magic to extract the spiritual power of the spirit stones.

Buzzing!

The ten spirit stones floating in the air trembled suddenly, and the majestic spiritual power contained in the spirit stones instantly burst out quickly along the spiritual power channel in Zhanfeng's hand, and under Zhanfeng's guidance, it was quickly injected into the jade array plate in his left hand.

Buzzing!

Zhan Feng also urged the prototype of the jade formation in his left hand, and after sensing the flow of spiritual power, the array in Zhan Feng's left hand also trembled slightly a few times, and the inner formation of the jade was instantly activated, as if it was responding to the trembling of the spirit stone, and it also made a buzzing sound like compassion.

Immediately after, the array opened its bloody mouth, like a greedy child, and like a greedy black hole, quickly sucking the rushing spiritual power into its mouth.

Because of its own limitations, the spiritual power that the low-level formation can hold is about ten spirit stones at most, and the spiritual power of ten spirit stones is enough to resist the vigorous blow of the foundation cultivator, for the attack of the qi cultivator, Zhan Feng estimates how he can also resist the powerful blow of the ten qi cultivators.

That is to say, as long as Zhanfeng has the Admiralty Array in his hand, he will have at least one chance to escape at the time of life and death, of course, this is only for the situation of the attack in the foundation building period and the Qi refining period, if it is attacked by the Jindan period, the Admiralty Array has almost no defensive strength at all.

To put it bluntly, cultivating immortals is the acquisition of strength, every advancement is an increase in strength, and the source of the monk's strength is the Dantian Purple Mansion, and the Qi Sea of the monk Purple Mansion during the Qi training period is not much spiritual power that can be accommodated, and the strength is naturally not high.

The concentration of spiritual power contained in the Purple Mansion of the Foundation Building Monk was a hundred times higher than that of the Qi Cultivation Cultivator, which means that the strength of one Foundation Building Monk was equal to the strength of one hundred Qi Cultivation Cultivators.

And the Purple Mansion of the Jindan Monk is the Jindan, which has a qualitative improvement compared to the Qi Sea or the Spirit Sea, and the spiritual power that can be contained is naturally not comparable to the foundation building or Qi cultivation cultivators.

According to the immortal cultivation world, one Jindan monk is basically equal to 10,000 foundation building monks, from this point we can see how powerful the Jindan monk is, it can be like 10,000 foundation building monks struggling to strike.

Even if it is described as overwhelming, I am afraid it is not too much, after all, Brother Jindan spied a trace of life and death with one blow, and it is only a matter of waving his hand to put life and death into a person.

Of course, the current Zhanfeng doesn't have to worry about the attack of the Jindan monk, after all, he is just an outer disciple, not to mention Jindan in the outer gate, not even the foundation building monk, all the monks who practice qi six grades and one have entered the inner gate, people go to high places and water flows to low places, as long as people with a little ability will not stay in the outer gate all the time, and they are willing to be an outer disciple forever.

In other words, Zhanfeng's main opponents now are all monks below the sixth rank of Qi cultivation, which is enough for their low-level Golden Bell Array, and can even be used several times.

The carving array is completed, and then the spirit is injected into the prototype array.

Compared with the carved array, the spiritual injection is very simple, as long as the flow of spiritual power can be controlled, controlling the flow of spiritual power This is the most basic common sense of cultivating immortals, just like a newborn baby will cry, even a monk who practices qi and a product of cultivation can easily do it, not to mention that Zhanfeng adopts the use of spirit stones to inject spirits, this method does not have any consumption of the caster itself, so that the spirit injection is even simpler.

After about half an hour, the light of the spirit stone floating in the air gradually dimmed, like a lively child suddenly languishing.

At the same time, the jade travel array in Zhanfeng's hand also exuded a stream of spiritual energy, which was more crystal clear than before, and the fluorescent sparkle was as dazzling as a star flashing in the night sky.

Smack!

The spirit stone that was depleted of spiritual power was instantly shattered and cracked and fell, Zhan Feng didn't care about the broken spirit stone, but quickly released his divine sense to probe into the formation, and began to carry out the last step of making the array plate - condensing the array.

The strength of the jade itself is far from meeting the strength requirements for accommodating the spiritual power of ten spirit stones, even if there is a formation support, the free strength staying outside the formation will still cause the jade to crack.

If the free spiritual power in the jade is not condensed into the formation as soon as possible, the jade that has been carved with great difficulty may burst because it cannot withstand the concentration of spiritual power.

Zhan Feng didn't dare to be careless, and carefully drove away the spiritual power outside the formation in the jade, condensing them little by little into the formation, when the spiritual power in the jade was completely condensed in the formation, the jade shook suddenly, and immediately burst out with a burst of white light, and in the blink of an eye, it was radiant and restrained, returning to the usual appearance of jade.

"Whew! ”

Looking at the jade that had returned to calm in his hand, Zhan Feng exhaled deeply, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, holding the array plate that had been successfully refined, and couldn't put it down.

The array disk is not like Yan Armor, every time it is activated, it will consume the spiritual power in the array disk, so Zhan Feng did not do experiments.

Looking at the looming formation patterns in the array, Zhanfeng knew that the formation had been made, and it was still a successful formation.

This can be determined from the information in the jade slip, which records that all failed array disks will burst and explode because they cannot contain spiritual power, if this situation does not occur, then it proves that the array disk you made is successful.

After breathing for a while, Zhan Feng took out a piece of jade again and began to burn the trapped array—the Golden Lock Array.

Although the trapped formation is a formation for the enemy, if it is used properly, it can be regarded as a defensive formation in disguise, if you use the trapped formation to restrict the opponent's actions at a critical moment, you will naturally have a chance to escape, but compared with the real defensive formation, the defensive strength of the trapped formation is slightly worse.

With the experience of carving the Golden Bell Array, Zhanfeng's speed was significantly faster, and it took almost two days for the Golden Lock Array to finally be carved.

As before, Zhan Feng then injected and condensed the Golden Lock Array.

Time is the most ruthless thing in the world, and even if you have the ability to reach the sky, it is just a drop in the ocean in the face of time.

A month later, the formation finally completed all the five formations recorded in the jade slip, and he made three copies of each formation, mainly to deal with the failure of the formation during use, mainly in case of accidents.

Of course, this is also because Zhan Feng made the formation for the first time, and it is a manifestation of his lack of confidence.

However, Zhan Feng, who was concentrating on making formations in the White Jade Mirage, didn't know that Guan Wu and Li Longji's plans against him had been quietly unfolding.

One of the most obvious is that Zhanfeng's name can be heard almost everywhere in the outer gate, and both Xiao Si and the outer disciples in the outer gate are talking about Zhanfeng during this time.

The version talked about is even more bizarre in all aspects, among which the blockbuster version is to Zhan Feng's undefeated inner disciples, known as the first outer disciple.

After hearing the news, the outer disciples who were already fiercely competitive were not convinced, and almost all those with some ability wanted to try to find Zhanfeng.

Especially the potential disciples who lived in the five deacon halls in the empty cui court, they were already arrogant and arrogant, and after learning the news, they immediately began to inquire about Zhanfeng's origin, and in the end, Zhanfeng's small courtyard inexplicably challenged the paper crane.

Although the Kaiyang Sect prohibits disciples from fighting privately, it does not prohibit disciples from challenging it, and there is also a platform specially set up for disciples to challenge in Kaiyang Sect, which is in the central open space in front of the General Affairs Office.

Whoever accepts the challenge must compete on the platform until one side admits defeat.

Nowadays, the most powerful challenge to the Dao platform is Kui Gang of Kanazawa Temple, he is a metal Qi cultivation five-grade cultivator, his defense and attack are very sharp, and he has almost no defeat since he participated in the challenge.

The second place is Li Qiushui of the Shuikan Palace, who is a five-grade monk of Shuimu dual-attribute qi training, and is the best at using sword qi, because she has the special talent of Shuimu dual-attribute talent, her swordsmanship is very weird, except for losing to Kui Gang once, she has no defeat.

The third place is Zhu Yin of the Huolin Palace, the dual-attribute mutation spirit root of the fire wood, the five-grade monk who practices qi, and the power of the fire burning block in one hand is extraordinary, except for the failure to challenge Kui Gang, he tied with Li Qiushui, and there was no defeat in other than that.

Wu Mingyuan, who ranked fourth in the Dikun Palace, was a five-grade Qi cultivator with strong defense, but he could not attack enough, and he ended up failing when he challenged the top three.

Ranked fifth is Hua Yuxi of Xunmu Palace, a high-level wood attribute spiritual root, cultivating qi five grades, and being quiet by nature, he has never participated in a challenge, but he is the highest disciple in the Xunmu Hall of the outer disciples.

Although she has not participated in the challenge, many people think that her ability should not be below Wu Mingyuan, so she is ranked fifth, but Hua Yuxi rarely walks on the road in front of outsiders, and not many people have really seen her.

Perhaps it is because of her personality that in Zhanfeng's courtyard, except for her who did not challenge the paper crane, the other four people who challenged the paper crane have already been sent to Zhanfeng's courtyard.

In the Kaiyang Sect, because there is a special magic circle on the spirit paper, as long as the challenged person uncovers the challenge crane, it is equivalent to accepting the challenge.

In the presence of the priest and the witness, he can go to the Taoist platform to compete, and the two parties are willing to live and die without complaining.

The first outer gate seems to be just a false name, but it has considerable temptation, especially for those disciples of the outer gate who think they are the first in the outer gate, they don't want an inexplicable person to take away the position in their hearts.

And Guan Wu really took advantage of their hearts, and after deliberately spreading rumors, he also added fuel to the fire behind his back, with only one purpose, that is, to isolate Zhan Feng and make Zhan Feng the enemy of the outer disciples.

From the challenge paper crane in Zhanfeng's small courtyard, it can be seen that his first step of killing people with a knife has been successful, and then it will be up to Zhanfeng to see if he dares to accept the challenge.

If Zhan Feng accepts, in the process of the competition, whether he wins or loses, it is beneficial to him, if Zhan Feng loses, he is likely to be killed by four people, if he wins by luck, Zhan Feng is basically completely isolated, such challenges will continue to arise in the future, even if Zhan Feng has three heads and six arms, there will always be a time to miss, and then it will be the end of Zhan Feng.

Guan Wu's abacus played well with the thief, but the person concerned, Zhanfeng, was immersed in cultivation and didn't know the situation at the outer gate.
