After the immortal disappeared

He Lingchuan presented a beautiful gift box: "This time I went back to Panlong City, it seems that all the major snack shops are selling this. I think the ones in Baoxianglou are the best, so I chose this for you."

Every time he came to Shumin Academy, he never forgot to bring some gifts.

"Dragon Beard Candy?" The two of them were so familiar with each other, so Sun Fuling opened it casually in front of him and saw twelve pieces of candy lying inside, divided into four colors: pink, white, green, and blue. The sugar threads were as thin as dragon whiskers, but every strand was neatly arranged and beautifully shaped. "This is a snack that has only become popular in the past half month. The method was passed down from Baoxiang Kingdom!"

Sun Fuling tasted a piece, and it was indeed sweet and crispy, and melted in a sip.

She was only busy eating the snack, and He Lingchuan was busy looking at her. The beauty's hands were almost as white as the dragon beard candy, and her nails were painted with light pink nail polish, which was shiny and glossy.

A schoolboy happened to pass by and looked at them eagerly. Sun Fuling also gave him a piece, and then took a blue piece to He Lingchuan.

He was very alert: "What is this dyed with?"

He would rather eat the bright red ones, as it would feel like he had vomited blood after eating them.

"Butterfly pea flower!" Sun Fuling rolled her eyes at him, "You bought it for me, and you don't dare to eat it?"

He Lingchuan had no choice but to take it and swallow it without chewing it, lest his lips and teeth be stained. He would have to meet Xu Shichu and Zhong Shengguang later, and attend a public ceremony, so he had to pay more attention to his image.

"These trendy snacks on the street change every two or three months. If you are late, you can't catch up." Sun Fuling sighed, "How dare I think about these things before?"

"Although Panlong City is fighting on two fronts, the city gates are no longer closed, and the Longchuan trade route is still prosperous." He Lingchuan said seriously, "If you want to fight for a long time, you must continue to regenerate blood!"

In the past, Panlong City was poor and arrogant, and Beijia didn't take this mud leg seriously. After all, the poor guy would only cause trouble for it, and would not be its opponent; but after taking Longchuan and managing it properly, with the frequent outbreaks of Emperor Liujiang, Panlong City fought on one hand and focused on the economy on the other. Even if it was a hard fight with Beijia, it would not close the city gates. Merchants and travelers from all over the country were a little worried at first, but seeing that Panlong City and its subordinate cities were still prosperous during the war and prices were stable, they were a little relieved.

Wartime economy is really a subject.

As they talked, the two also walked to the attic where Xu Shichu worked.

"General He!" Xu Shichu was writing furiously. When he saw He Lingchuan, he put down his pen and came to greet him. "Rare guest, rare guest! How is the situation in Yuheng City?"

"It's a stalemate. Beijia's offensive has slowed down, and the new commander has not arrived yet."

"Are you willing to go to Xiantai to start classes?" Xu Shichu smiled, "Many new recruits want to know how you feel about fighting against the Beijia army."

A few years ago, He Lingchuan sat in the audience and asked him questions. Xu Shichu still remembered it vividly. Now he is qualified to go to Xiantai to answer questions from the audience.

Time flies so fast, and young people grow up so fast.

He Lingchuan shook his head: "The victory or defeat has not been decided yet, how can I be qualified? Dean Xu, do you have something to ask me?"

"Yes, yes." Xu Shichu walked behind the desk.

Seeing that they were going to talk about business, Sun Fuling smiled at He Lingchuan and left first.

Xu Shichu took out a piece of drawing paper and spread it on the table:

"General He, this is the diagram of the Earthly Evil Formation you gave me before, also known as the Positive and Negative Heavenly Gang Formation, which is a combination formation. Last time, I explained it to you."

He Lingchuan said, "Thank you, Dean Xu, you really helped me a lot!"

After he got the diagram of the Gathering Spirit Formation on Baimao Mountain, he gave it to the dean of Shumin Academy for study together with the formation information given by Lingshan.

Xu Shichu's attainments in formations are amazing. The prerequisite for He Lingchuan to implement the plan of making trouble in the Heavenly Palace was that he calculated the key to the formation of the Xushan formation and taught it to He Lingchuan.

How could He Lingchuan not use such a strong help?

The "Negative Heavenly Gang" of Qianhuan Zhenren was calculated by Xu Shichu. Of course, he had more clues than Bai Ziqi with the information of Lingshan, so he could fill in the full picture of the formation.

"These days, I've been studying this formation, and I've discovered something." Xu Shichu said seriously, "The key to the formation is the formation eye. The more powerful the object that serves as the formation eye, the more efficient it is in absorbing spiritual energy. It's even more powerful than the formation diagram you gave me last time!"

The formation diagram that He Lingchuan gave him last time was the Xushan formation of the Heavenly Palace!

Hearing this, He Lingchuan was surprised: "Xu... That formation is not as good as it?"

"Not as good as it!" Xu Shichu waved his hand, "Although that formation has the effect of gathering spiritual energy, its main function is to suppress it, which is far less pure than this Earthly Evil Formation. Moreover, the positive and negative Tiangang formations are actually composed of two formations, both of which can absorb spiritual energy!"

Indeed, the main function of the Xushan formation is to suppress the Great Fire Spirit Torch, and then to gather spiritual energy. And Xushan is in the north of Lingxu City, and it is not easy to absorb the spiritual energy of the capital city crazily. There are too many monsters living here.

He Lingchuan sensed something was not right: "How pure is it?"

"How long has this Reverse Tiangang Formation been running?"

"About 150 years."

"If it is true as you said, its formation eye is a peerless divine object that even gods covet, it is very likely that it will continue to draw spiritual energy from the two formation eyes for thousands of miles. The speed is not fast, but it is very stable, day and night."

He Lingchuan was shocked: "Thousands of miles?"

And the two formations absorb together, each thousands of miles!

The range of this "gathering spirits" is indeed much larger than the Xushan formation in Lingxu City.

Xu Shichu was full of admiration: "The setting of this formation is almost impeccable, and it can even be easily maintained by itself with spiritual energy. Do you think this was arranged by an immortal?"

"Yes." There is no doubt about Qian Huan's formation skills.

"It is indeed the best among them!" Xu Shichu said seriously, "If this formation has been running for more than 150 years, under its suction, the spiritual energy in those places should be far weaker than in other places, such as Pan The land in Dragon Wasteland is just not as beautiful as Chipa Plateau.”

That being said, it's true. When he first arrived at the Shining Gold Plains, especially when he first landed at the dock of Julu Port, he felt that the aura of this place was far less rich than Bailie and Yangshan Islands.

You must know that the frequency of the Emperor's Ooze outbreaks in those two years was so high that it had not been seen in sixty years.

If it's like this after the Emperor's Ooze fell, then what will it look like after it has dried up in the past sixty years?

He originally thought it was a geographical relationship, maybe the amount of rainfall falling on the Emperor's Serum was different in different places.

After Xu Shichu's explanation, hey, the long-term barrenness in the eastern part of the Shining Gold Plains, in addition to various natural and man-made disasters, is probably also related to the spirit gathering formation on Baimao Mountain.

With abundant spiritual energy, even the Gobi Desert-like Panlong Wasteland can become lush with water and grass; on the other hand, the decline of spiritual energy will lead to sparse vegetation, soil erosion, and living beings can only survive the day with difficulty.

The land in the eastern part of the Shining Gold Plains is not fertile, crops are difficult to grow, and people do not have enough food and clothing to keep warm. In order to compete for the limited resources, is it not possible to fight against each other and never have peace?

The poorer the resources, the more turbulent the environment, and the more sinister the human heart.

"Seizing thousands of livelihoods for personal gain." He Lingchuan murmured, "How greedy."

When an immortal retreats in a small cave, the amount of spiritual energy he consumes will be greatly reduced; but Qianhuan Zhenren, while cultivating behind closed doors, also uses immortal methods to set up such an incredibly large spirit gathering array to absorb the golden spiritual energy.

The resources he possesses alone are truly astonishing.

"This was probably modified from the ancient Tiangang Formation. The spiritual energy at that time was extremely abundant, and it would not be a problem if some were sucked out, but it is a bit harsher now." Xu Shichu introduced, "Also, As I told you, this Reverse Tiangang Formation can be broken down into two formations, so it actually has two formation eyes."

He Lingchuan nodded.

"Under normal circumstances, no matter how many formations are broken in any formation, it will not affect the operation of the formation. At best, the efficiency will be a little worse. But -" Xu Shichu clicked on the painting, "Once the formation eyes are taken out or destroyed , the entire Disha formation will stop immediately!"

"You only need to take out one formation eye to have this effect?" He Lingchuan confirmed to him.

"Yes! No matter which formation is not running, the variables in the other formation cannot be jumped over, and the cycle will be broken." Xu Shichu said with a smile, "This is called pulling one hair to move the whole body. The eye of the formation is like the human brain , A person may not die if his limbs are amputated, but he cannot live without his brain.”

"Understood." In other words, when he found the Heart Scale from the White Bear King's Cave in Baimao Mountain, both the positive and negative Tiangang formations arranged by Master Qianhuan quickly stopped!

He Lingchuan didn't know how many formations he had deployed in the Golden Flash Plains, but the cutoff of such an important source of spiritual energy must be a heavy loss for Qianhuan Zhenren.

He Lingchuan smiled subconsciously: "Not bad, not bad."

Recently, there has been a huge outbreak of Emperor's Ooze, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the Shining Gold Plains has risen rapidly, and the positive and negative Tiangang Formation just happened to be broken, and it can't absorb it at all.

If the Golden Plains wants to rise, and if all living beings want to live and work in peace and contentment, they cannot let their spiritual energy be sucked by whales again!

This Tiangang Formation was broken very well, and it was broken in time.

Thinking of how the formation was broken, He Lingchuan felt even calmer.

Unfortunately, the upside-down sea has not yet opened, and Master Qianhuan has no way to come out to find out. He must be very angry, right?

"Thank you, Dean Xu, for clarifying my doubts!" ​​After hearing the key points, He Lingchuan stood up and left.

He has to go to the official office.

Xu Shichu smiled and said, "I'll see you at the city gate later."

…

Zhong Shengguang had just received the foreign envoy and took the time to drink a glass of water. When he saw He Lingchuan, he waved:

"Come, sit down."

His voice was hoarse and the corners of his eyes were bloodshot.

General Red is attacking on the northwest front, He Lingchuan is defending on the east front, and Zhong Shengguang is in charge of Panlong City. He has to take care of both war and diplomacy. He has to deal with both combat and economy. He also has to face the pressure of Bejia. It is very difficult for Iron Man.

And there is no end in sight for such days.

He Lingchuan sat down directly without telling him to take a good rest. Who wouldn't want to sleep when they have time? He understood Zhong Shengguang's pressure, because he himself was responsible for Yuheng City and the war.
