Immortal Journey

Chapter 72
Originally, the journey was only three to five days, but under Xiaobao's tossing around, it took a full ten days to reach the valley where Yijianzhen was located.

The valley is narrow and long, with lush green trees and full of spring. The entrance of a stream is located in a splashing spring at the corner of the valley. Looking at the arc gap between the splashing spring and the mountain, there is nothing special about it at a glance.

Xiaobao is fond of water, seeing this curved splashing spring, he rushed into it, playing and frolicking up and down, while Moyu butterflies danced around the splashing spring, playing happily with Xiaobao.

Ren Ling carefully identified the surrounding environment and confirmed that this was the place designated by the owner of the jade slip, so he sat down cross-legged facing Xunquan, took out a set of strangely shaped formation flags, and condensed his spiritual power to prepare for the formation.

This set of array flags was made by herself according to the requirements of the jade slips. The materials and flag making methods are different from those of ordinary array flags.Ren Ling was not familiar with making array flags, and this set of array flags was the only one that was barely successful after dozens of attempts.

He silently recited the heart method and formation key recorded in the jade slips, and the pure blue spiritual energy popped out from his fingertips to command the formation flags to fly to different directions. At the same time, he kept chanting. Open it quickly, and let out a low voice, "Open!"

Seeing the scenery in the valley change suddenly, green trees and fragrant grass, splashing spring and stream disappeared in the blink of an eye, and a deep hole appeared in the original position of splashing spring, Ren Ling's expression relaxed, and it was considered a victory in the first battle.

"Master!" Xiaobao shook off the water on his body, flew to Ren Ling's shoulder and stopped, waving his little fleshy claws high, Moyu's group of butterflies followed suit, all crowded on Xiaobao's body. As if Xiaobao was wearing a colorful dress, "Let's go in!"

The cave was bottomless. Although Ren Ling already had a good idea of ​​the terrain inside, he still cautiously let go of his spiritual sense to investigate and moved forward cautiously.

"Master, you said that the master of the jade slip has put so much effort into inviting you to come here," Xiao Bao, who couldn't be quiet for too long, leaned against Ren Ling's neck leisurely, scratched his face with his little fleshy claws, and asked, "Where is the hidden treasure?" What secret? Will there be a big treasure mountain waiting for you to inherit it, master? No," the little man shook his head, tsk tsk for a long time, "it's not necessarily a good thing to be so mysterious, I said master, why don't we go the same way Forget about going back, the master of the jade slips must be a powerful person if he can get out of it, and it might be very dangerous for us to fall into his hands, very dangerous."

"Xiaobao is also afraid of danger?" Ren Ling laughed. From her observations these days, Xiaobao has a personality that is not afraid of anything. "I thought Xiaobao would encourage me to explore."

"No way! If it's a situation that can be fully controlled, it's okay to explore," Xiaobao shook his body, "If the difference in cultivation base is too large, self-preservation is the way for a cultivator to protect himself. Master, this road to cultivation is treacherous. Be careful, but be careful.”

With a chuckle, Ren Ling couldn't get used to such a little treasure for a while. Although Xiaobao likes to play around, but every time he talked about the way of cultivation, he would become serious, "I know! It has already been wiped out in my hands, if I don't come, I will really feel sorry for the owner of the jade slip. Besides, this stream is really wonderful, I want to see it."

The cave leads into the mountainside, the passage is winding and winding, and there will be three or five branch roads extending every few feet. At first glance, it looks like a huge underground labyrinth, but Ren Ling knows that this is the mountainside with a formation In fact, the range of the mountainside is not wide, and the direct distance is no more than a few tens of feet at most. It is really ingenious to be able to create a complex and deep giant maze in such a limited space.

The owner of the Jade Slips did not provide a solution when describing the giant labyrinth formation, but only pointed out the essentials of the formation, and the rest needs to be experienced by Ren Ling to break the formation by himself. If he can't do it, then he is not the predestined person he needs to pursue diligently.

For a long time, Ren Ling had an inexplicable enthusiasm for formations. Perhaps it was Moyu who opened the door to the subtlety of formations and made her want to stop after getting in touch with them, but her accomplishments in formations can be seen as early as the middle stage of Qi training.

After Ren Ling repeatedly walked in the same fork in the same fork several times in a seemingly chaotic manner, Mo Yu instantly understood the mystery of this giant labyrinth, so one person and one butterfly helped each other with a tacit understanding. Xiaobao was not familiar with the formation. It became a good communication bridge in the middle, telling Ren Ling about Mo Yu's words from time to time, and Ren Ling also put forward his own opinions and judgments while walking, discussing with each other and moving forward. After about half a day, he finally reached the gate of the formation. in front of the stone.

"Phantom Primordial Stone!"

Little Treasure rushed over with a stride, scratched and gnawed at the gate stone for a long time, and yelled, "Master, this is a phantom stone! Such a complete and huge phantom stone is rare in the world." Xun, how could someone use it as a formation door? Even a monk who is as rich as a country would not waste it like this! My lord! Master, let’s get this stone to the Moyu stream as soon as possible!"

"Xiaobao," Ren Ling frowned, and took Xiaobao, who was drooling all over the place, into his hand, "This is someone else's property, besides, if this door stone is removed, the entire labyrinth will be destroyed. Can't move."

"But this is a phantom stone! There are phantom stones in the sky, master, you must be saying that because you don't know how precious this phantom stone is," Xiaobao said eagerly as his neck was lifted, "Phantom stone The refined Huanyuanjing is the best material for making magic weapons! Usually, it would be great to find a piece as big as a palm, let alone this...so big..."

"Okay," Ren Ling shook his head, squinted at Xiaobao, and pretended to sigh, "I thought Xiaobao, you should be a great spirit beast, with a wide knowledge, a broad heart, and a high level of cultivation, but now I just see you." When you see a stone, you are so excited, could it be...Xiaobao, are you really a spirit pig?"

"You, you are the pig!" Listening to Ren Ling's words of praise, Xiao Bao nodded happily at first, but when it came to the later words, he blew his nose and stared at him with anger, "I, let's go... …Hmph, anyway, it’s the master, you don’t know how to treasure, so don’t regret it in the future! I, I’m also doing it for the sake of the master, I can’t look down on this broken stone, heh heh!”

"This is our little treasure," Ren Ling boasted with a smile, "How can such ordinary things easily catch Xiaobao's eyes, I know Xiaobao is worried that I will miss the treasure. However, the Magic Essence Stone is also good Regardless of whether it is the Essence Illusion Stone, we really cannot take away the gate stone, otherwise the entire formation may be affected, and that would be the consequences of destroying the world, we cannot bear it."

After finishing speaking, Ren Ling took out a strange talisman again, applied spiritual energy and pushed it onto the Huanyuan Stone, only to see a soft "plop" sound, and the Huanyuan Stone moved slowly to the side, revealing a body about the size of a person's width. .Ren Ling walked through with a smile, and as soon as he stood still outside the formation, the magic essence stone behind him moved to seal the formation door, as if it had never changed.
