The next day, the golden crow rises in the east, the morning light is sprinkled, cruising between the peaks of Yuqing, the clouds and mist are swirling, like a fairyland.

With the melodious sound of the morning bell rippling in the valley square, the whole mountain range is finally alive, mountain paths, pavilions, bamboo forests, lawns, everywhere you can see monks or hurrying, or meditating cross-legged, the sky will often have different colors of light passing by, everything seems extremely quiet and quiet.

In this kind of environment, people will have much less anger in their hearts, and they are only willing to cultivate in peace, regardless of foreign affairs and chores, in order to achieve immortality.

Qi refining disciple Qi Yiming thought so, but when he woke up every morning and left the small courtyard where he lived with his fellow disciples and came to the Yuelu Hall in the valley square, this leisurely state of mind would often subside, and in its place, the worries and depression that piled up in his heart would be replaced by worries and depression piled up in his heart.

Yuelu Hall is an important place set up by the Yuqing Sect in the square, which stores countless sets of formations with different types and effects, which are used to rent and sell to the disciples in the door, and in addition, there are several formation masters in the hall who are famous in the nearby immortal cultivation world, and many people come here every year to study the formation.

Qi Yiming, who is in his early thirties this Chinese New Year's Eve, used to be one of the apprentices who studied the way of formation, and among the junior brothers in the same period, his talent in the way of formation can be described as arrogant, but with the passage of time, he has not made much progress in cultivation for more than ten years, and now he is still a cultivator of the eighth layer of qi refining, and his status has plummeted, and he has long been arranged to become a reception disciple in the hall, and the tasks he does all day are almost no different from those guys in those shops in Xiuzhenfang City.

Seeing that the days passed day by day, there was no hope for Zhuji, and he had to be responsible for many mundane affairs every day, and under the exhaustion, Qi Yiming became more and more decadent and numb, and the immortal immortal road that he once longed for and longed for was now a remote corner of his memory.

But that's all, in fact, it's nothing, the most painful thing for him in his leisure time is that he grew up with his childhood sweetheart in the door, and the younger sister who is happy with each other, after a few years of being a Taoist couple with him, he inexplicably changed his mind, and another male monk who is also a disciple of Yuelu Hall came together, and even when he took over the shift, he could still see these two people walking intimately, laughing and playing, and ignoring himself who passed by.

This scene is undoubtedly like a sharp knife, piercing his heart, making the anguish in his heart unable to vent, but accumulating more and more, and even in the dead of night, this anguish has become an irrepressible malice, which makes his heart burst out from time to time, making him have some terrifying thoughts that make him tremble.

As usual, in the early morning of today, Qi Yiming came to the Yuelu Hall early, and behind the counter, he carefully summarized and sorted out the placement of the things needed for each formation, although the number of disciples of the Yuqing Sect was large, there were not many people who came to rent the formation early in the morning, so this was his daily task at this moment.

But this day was a little abnormal, to Qi Yiming's surprise, not long after he turned his back to tidy up, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then a gentle voice sounded: "Excuse me, what formation is suitable for laying down at the entrance of the cave mansion to cover up the existence of the cave mansion?"

"Huh?"

Qi Yiming turned his head a little stunned, only to see a white-clothed young man with an ordinary face standing outside the counter, looking curiously at the magic circle artifacts on the entire counter, and when he saw himself, he bowed his head slightly with a smile.

The divine consciousness subconsciously swept over the other party, but he was shocked to find that no matter how he looked at it, the other party's cultivation was like a cloud, and he couldn't see the slightest detail at all.

"Monk Tsuki!"

reacted suddenly in his heart, and under a burst of awe, Qi Yiming hurriedly put down the work in his hand, bowed respectfully, and called out "Uncle Shi" with a look of awe on his face.

The young man in white was naturally Fang Nan, after registering his name last night and saying goodbye to Yunqiu Daoren, he simply searched for the entire Yuqing Mountain Range all night, and finally found a place on the periphery that satisfied him, so after recording the location, he planned to open up his cave mansion there.

However, the opening of the cave mansion is naturally inseparable from the magic circle at the entrance of the cave, so early in the morning, Fang Nan came to the valley square and stepped into the gate of the Yuelu Palace.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time he has come to this hall, before the frost ancient borer had not evolved, in order to warm this insect so that it would not die in vain, he had come to Yuelu Hall to rent a set of magic circles that condensed cold qi.

However, at that time, Fang Nan's cultivation was only at the ninth level of qi refining, and even many of the reception disciples in the Yuelu Hall were higher than him, plus the first time he went to rent the magic array, Fang Nanping, who didn't know anything about the formation of the law, made a lot of jokes.

Now a few years have passed in a flash, at this time he is already a foundation building monk with a high status in the sect, and when he steps into this door again, he feels naturally very different, and this feeling of being held and welcomed by a senior master is indeed quite useful.

At this moment, seeing the respectful appearance of the Qi refining disciple in front of him, who was much older than himself, he immediately smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Master and nephew don't need to be polite, there are important things to do, if it is convenient, it is better to introduce me to two suitable formations first, the best effect and the most stable." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yiming suddenly remembered what the other party had just said, and after thinking for a while, he said respectfully: "Uncle Hui, if it is used to cover the location of the cave, it is better to use the Five Elements Upside Down Array and the Qingyun Phantom Array, the former can use the heaven and earth aura around the magic circle to make the aura of the entrance of the cave hidden in it, making it difficult to find, while the latter can generate a cloud and mist phantom array to block the intruder, and the effect is wonderful." However, the price of both of these is not low, and if you rent it, you will need eighty spirit stones a year. ”

"Only eighty spirit stones?"

Fang Nan was slightly surprised in his heart, and subconsciously blurted out, and only after seeing Qi Yiming's stunned look in front of him did he react, and couldn't help coughing lightly, and touched his chin helplessly.

In the past few months, he has been used to making a lot of changes in and out, and even a number like eighty spirit stones that can make ordinary disciples feel painful, he has already subconsciously felt that it is too cheap.

But really speaking, for him at the moment, such a little spirit stone a year is really nothing, not to mention the income from the spirit stones he obtained from making talismans, just the spirit stones that Yuqing Sect gives them every year for these foundation building monks are enough as two or three hundred yuan, and they can easily afford this expenditure.

After pondering for a while, he still felt that it was better to be safe, after all, the entrance to the cave was still as hidden as possible, so he immediately bowed his head slightly and said: "In that case, I will rent one of each of these two magic circles." ”
