I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Evolutionary Mountains.

The size of the mountain is also related to the strength of the evolver.

In fact, in the foundation building stage of Chu Ning, let alone evolving the mountain peak, under normal circumstances it would be difficult to successfully cultivate even the Immovable Mountain Technique.

Chu Ning conservatively estimates that those seniors of the Shan Sect must be at the realm of Yuanying and above, and then make great aspirations to practice the Immovable Mountain Technique.

For example, the reason why I was able to successfully practice the Immovable Mountain Technique in the foundation-building realm is because of the energy provided by the longevity fruit.

To evolve mountain peaks, cultivation begins based on the size of the mountain. Mountain nourishing formula records the method of cultivating mountain peaks.

It is very simple to nourish the mountains. Let the mountains continuously absorb the spiritual energy of the earth's veins to grow.

Unlike their monks, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth requires absorption and refining, but the mountain peak does not. Chu Ning only needs to peel off a strand of his soul and land it on the mountain peak, and the mountain peak can actively absorb the spiritual energy of the earth veins.

And just now Lao Hei would be bounced away, which is the mountain power that comes with this small mound.

Although the mound is small, it is still a mountain and cannot be violated.

Of course, this is also because Lao Hei did not use his full strength, otherwise Shanwei would not be able to withstand it.

The power of a mountain is directly proportional to its strength.

The most intuitive manifestation of a mountain's strength is its size.

To peel off a strand of the soul and land it on the mountain peak was not a problem for the seniors of the Shan Sect in the past, but it was difficult for Chu Ning.

He is not even a golden elixir, and his soul cannot be separated at all.

Unless, with the help of pills.

Chu Ning took out a jade slip from his storage bag, which was one of his trophies. It contained a roll of elixirs, a pill related to the soul.

Soul Splitting Pill.

Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, there is one called puppetry.

Use a secret method to separate a ray of your own soul on the puppet, making the puppet equivalent to a clone.

The puppet technique requires separation of the soul, so generally only those with strong golden elixirs can have puppets, but this is not the case for foundation-building monks. Soul-splitting pill is a method for foundation-building monks to refine puppets.

Chu Ning had most of the ingredients for the soul-splitting pill, but he lacked the main ingredient, soul-cleansing liquid.

The reason for the lack is the same as before. Only the strong golden elixirs will consider the soul. Chu Ning harvested only the foundation-building monks. Even if these foundation-building monks got treasures like soul-cleansing liquid, they would exchange them for other treasures for the sect's golden elixir elders.

"A sect as big as Xiyue Sect should have soul-cleansing liquid."

Chu Ning decided to go to Hongri Peak's Fangshi to have a look, but now there was a problem before him.

What should I do with this small mountain of my own?

The small mountain peak cannot be moved now. What if a pair of wild mandarin ducks accidentally step on the small mountain peak?

Although this possibility is very small, it is still necessary to prevent these accidents from occurring.

"Old Hei, why don't you keep watch."

"OK."

Lao Hei readily agreed. Now he and Chu Ning both prospered and suffered losses. The cultivation of this mountain peak was also of great benefit to him.

Leaving Lao Hei where he was, Chu Ning got up and headed to Fangshi.

This is the first time he has officially stepped out of the cave after coming to Hongri Peak to live.

Stepping into the market, Chu Ning was not in a hurry to find the soul-cleansing liquid. This kind of treasure was extremely precious even to the powerful golden elixir, and it was impossible to find it just by wandering around.

Hidden Formation Pavilion.

Chu Ning walked into an attic.

A male cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Condensation walked towards him.

Although the other party's face was filled with a warm smile, Chu Ning was still a little uncomfortable with it.

It would be better to ask the local market in this city.

As soon as I walked in, there were cute female nuns acting as shopping guides, which made me feel much happier and I felt more comfortable spending money.

"I've met senior. Is there anything you need, senior?"

Ruan Fangda saw Chu Ning and rushed over to meet him. This was a strong foundation-builder and he did not dare to neglect him.

"Senior, if you have any need for formations, you can go up to the second floor. If you have special needs for formations, we also have formation masters in our pavilion, and I can recommend them to you."

The formations on the first floor were all prepared for the Qi Condensation monks. Ruan Fangda knew that they would definitely look down on them. When such a strong foundation-builder comes to the store, he is usually received personally by the formation master in the store.

"I'll go to the second floor first to take a look."

Chu Ning came here to find out if there was a suitable formation that could guard the small mountain peak for him.

"I'll take senior up."

Ruan Fangda led the way. After going up to the second floor, there were only about a dozen jade slips placed on the shelves on the entire second floor.

"Senior, here is the general introduction to our store's formations."

"good."

Taking the jade slip handed over by Ruan Fangda, Chu Ning's consciousness sank into it. This jade slip introduced dozens of formations, all of which could be used by foundation-building monks.

There are offensive ones, defensive ones, and aura-gathering ones...

During the tea break, Chu Ning withdrew his gaze, with a look of regret in his eyes. There were many types of formations in the Hidden Formation Pavilion, but it was a pity that none of them suited him.

Those defensive formations can indeed defend small mountain peaks, but the problem is the same, that is, they are very noisy when deployed. If they are used to protect the cave, it is not bad. If they are deployed on the hillside, wouldn't it mean that there is no silver in this place?

The ideal formation in Chu Ning's mind would not attract attention and would not block others from passing through the area. As long as it does not touch the small mountain peaks, the formation will not be triggered.

Ruan Fangda was always paying attention to Chu Ning's expression. Seeing the disappointment in Chu Ning's eyes, he knew that this senior might not be interested in the formations introduced in the jade slip.

"Senior, if you have special requirements for the formation, you can ask the formation master in our store. The formation master in our store will make the formation according to the requirements of the senior."

"Can this still happen?"

Chu Ning was a little surprised. Isn't this customization?

"Well, many seniors have approached the formation masters of our pavilion to discuss the required formations, but the price..."

"As long as it satisfies me, price is not an issue."

Spiritual stone!

When it comes to wealth, Chu Ning is very confident. Among the foundation-building monks, his wealth can definitely be ranked high.

"Then I will inform the masters right away. Senior, please wait a moment."

Ruan Fangda's eyes lit up. Hearing the senior's tone, he knew that he was a man who was not short of money, and if a deal could be concluded, the commission he would get would be worth a year's regular money.

Chu Ning was sitting in the lounge behind the Hidden Formation Pavilion. A quarter of an hour later, his consciousness sensed the approach of several foundation-building monks.

Come to think of it, he is the formation master of this hidden formation.

Just feeling the strength of these formation masters, he felt a little disappointed. They were all in the early stages of foundation building, and he was afraid that they would not be able to meet his requirements.

"Senior, several masters from our store have arrived."

Ruan Fangda led three early-stage foundation-building monks in. These three looked a little careless before they came in. When their eyes fell on Chu Ning, their expressions became solemn and a little more respectful than before.

A monk in the middle stage of foundation building!

The waiter wasn't lying, it really might be a big deal.

Previously, they heard from Ruan Fangda that a wealthy foundation-building monk came to the store, and the three of them didn't take it seriously.

The reason is very simple. Those are the foundation-building monks at Red Sun Peak, and everyone knows each other. Generally, if there is a need for formations, they will be found privately.

This kind of foundation-building monks who come to the store are either those who have just established a foundation, and their connections in the foundation-building circle are not very good.

If you don't have good connections, your financial resources will naturally not be very high. As for the waiter who thinks this person has strong financial resources, that's because of his level.

In the eyes of Qi Condensation monks, foundation-building experts are superior.

"My lord, Liao Ming, this is Fellow Daoist Gu, and this is Fellow Daoist Fan. How dare I call you Fellow Daoist?"

"Chun Ning."

"Fellow Daoist Chu is not from Hongri Peak."

"I just moved into Red Sun Peak not long ago."

After listening to Chu Ning's answer, Liao Ming and the others knew better. No wonder they looked at each other and saw that they were new here.

Several people asked politely, but Chu Ning didn't want to waste time and said directly: "Fellow Daoist Liao, I think everyone knows my purpose of coming, so I will tell you directly."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, just say it."

"I need a defensive formation with high concealment."

After hearing this, Liao Ming made eye contact with the two of them, and then said: "Are there any specific requirements for the area covered by the formation and the limit it can withstand?"

"A range of three feet is sufficient. The higher the defense limit, the better. The most important thing is concealment."

"I understand what Fellow Daoist Chu means. It is to make people unable to detect the existence of this formation, right?"

"Fellow Daoist Fan is right, this is the most important point."

Chu Ning nodded, but after knowing Chu Ning's specific request, Liao Ming and the others were in trouble.

The reason for the difficulty is not that such formations are difficult to create, but that such formations are easy to create. The reason why the pavilion does not sell them is because there are very few customers who have such demand.

What they have trouble with is how to sell a simple formation at a high price.

If the other party is a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment, then it’s okay to fool him, but if the other party is in the middle stage of foundation establishment, if he dares to fool him, if the other party knows the truth and comes to find him in the future, wouldn’t he be causing trouble for himself.

If you want to sell it at a high price, you have to maximize your concealment.

"The purpose of Fellow Daoist Chu is to prevent people from discovering the existence of the formation. This is actually not difficult. The formation we have arranged, even in the middle stage of foundation building, will not be discovered without touching the formation. However, I have A suggestion, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chu is willing to listen to it?"

"All ears." Chu Ning nodded.

"Deploy a series of formations, so that those who break into the formation can't find the center of the formation. The stacking of multiple formations can confuse those who break into the formation."

Fan Chengxiang's words made Chu Ning's eyes light up. He understood what Fan Chengxiang meant. To put it bluntly, he was using the method of substituting another thing to make people mistakenly think that his formation was protecting something else.

They are all smart people.

Chu Ning felt a little emotional in her heart. Just from the request she made, she could deduce the purpose of wanting this formation.

"This is indeed a method. How many consecutive formations can be set up?"

Hearing Chu Ning's words, Liao Ming and the other three looked at each other and smiled. The business was stable.

"Six is ​​no problem."

Liao Ming replied with a smile, with six formations, the three people who earned from this business can all share a lot.

Chu Ning frowned: "Can it be more?"

"More?"

Fan Chengxiang couldn't help but said: "Fellow Daoist Chu, this kind of continuous stacking of formations becomes more and more difficult the further you go. The difficulty and cost of each additional formation will be several times that of the previous one."

"That's it. I don't understand the formation." Chu Ning smiled and then asked: "How much is the price for such a continuous formation?"

Liao Ming said with a smile: "This is the first time for Fellow Daoist Chu to come to my Tibetan Formation Pavilion. Originally, I needed five thousand spiritual stones, so I will accept four thousand spiritual stones from Fellow Daoist Chu."

Four thousand spirit stones were a large sum even for a foundation-building monk, but for Chu Ning, although it was not a drop in the bucket, it was not a heartache either.

"What if there are seven formations?"

"Seven formations require five thousand spirit stones."

"What about eight?"

"For eight formations, at least eight thousand spiritual stones are needed."

"There are nine..."

Liao Ming didn't answer. If this person wasn't in the middle stage of foundation building, he would have started to complain.

You are just asking for the price.

On the other hand, Fan Cheng looked thoughtful and replied seriously: "For nine formations, it will require fifteen thousand spirit stones. For ten formations, it is conservatively estimated to cost thirty thousand. No matter how high it is... we can't do it." Arrived."

"Okay, then let's order ten. This is the deposit."

Chu Ning waved her hand and took out a spirit stone bag from the storage bag.

Liao Ming:......

Fan Chengxiang:......

Gu Youde:...

A big customer.

Only now did Liao Ming realize that he was short-sighted. This fellow Taoist Chu was a real big business.

They weren't just asking for fun, they were really rich.

If the three of us can create a chain formation with eleven superimposed formations, maybe this person will place an order without blinking an eye.

Ruan Fangda on the side was also confused.

He was stunned by the spirit stone.

For a large order of 30,000 spirit stones, the commission he can get will be thousands of spirit stones. This is not only worth one year's regular money, but it is worth several years.

Chu Ning paid the deposit and agreed to pick it up in three months, and walked out of the Hidden Formation Pavilion with Liao Ming and the others seeing them off.

"correct."

At the door, Chu Ning stopped.

"Do you have anything else to ask for, Fellow Daoist Chu?"

"It's not that I have any request, I just want to ask my three fellow Taoists, do you know where I can buy soul-cleansing liquid?"

Chu Ning suddenly thought that instead of searching for a needle in a haystack in the city and asking from house to house, it would be better to ask Liao Ming and the others directly.

"Soul-cleansing liquid? It's not easy to find."

Liao Ming shook his head. Materials or treasures related to golden elixirs are generally not circulated in the market.

"It's impossible to find it in the market, but you can post a request to buy it, Fellow Daoist Chu."

Seeing Chu Ning's somewhat disappointed expression, Fan Chengxiang added something to the side.

If he were an ordinary person, he would not make this suggestion. The reason is simple.

As long as it is listed on the purchase list, it is clearly telling everyone to continue to buy this item. Even if someone actually has it, the price will be extremely high.

Only wealthy monks can afford to buy it.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Chu can go and buy the soul-cleansing liquid. Maybe there are fellow Daoists who will buy it." Liao Ming also agreed.

"Okay, thanks for letting me know."

Under the instructions of Liao Ming and Fan Chengxiang, Chu Ning came to the center of Fang City, which is the purchase center.

What surprised Chu Ning was that there was actually a powerful Jindan man sitting here.

Chu Ning looked respectful and said to the middle-aged golden elixir expert: "Senior, this junior wants to publish purchasing information."

"Publish purchase information, deposit one thousand spirit stones, post fee one hundred spirit stones." The man glanced at Chu Ning and said calmly.

"good."

Before coming in, Chu Ning already knew the entire purchasing process from Liao Ming.

The deposit will be deducted if someone comes to the door with the item after posting the purchase information, and the buyer does not accept it.

In this way, random purchase information can be filtered out, and the authority of the purchase site can be guaranteed.

"What do you want to buy?"

"Soul-cleansing liquid."

After listening to Chu Ning's words, the golden elixir expert looked at Chu Ning again in surprise.

"Do you have an offer?"

"Senior, how much do you think the quotation is appropriate?" Chu Ning asked tentatively.

"ask me?"

Qu Zhongshu smiled: "If I am worth one hundred thousand spiritual stones, do you have to pay this price?"

"If the senior thinks it is worth 100,000 spiritual stones, then the junior will quote this price."

Qu Zhongshu:...

"You're a very cunning boy. I think you're a stranger to me. You're not a disciple of my Red Sun Peak."

"Junior Chu Ning, just arrived from Hongri Peak."

"Chun Ning?"

Qu Zhongshu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the next moment he said: "Since you want me to give you advice, I suggest that you don't quote a price with spirit stones. Precious things like soul-cleansing liquid cannot be purchased with spirit stones."

"If we don't use spirit stones, how should we acquire them?" Chu Ning asked humbly for advice.

"If you want to barter, if you have soul-cleansing liquid, I can negotiate with you face to face to see if you have anything the other party needs."

Chu Ning nodded and agreed to Qu Zhongshu's suggestion. This was a good idea.

"Take this jade slip. If anyone is willing to trade, the jade slip will notify you."

Qu Zhongshu threw a jade slip to Chu Ning, and Chu Ning took it with both hands. He hesitated when he saw the golden elixir expert closed his eyes again. This seemed to be different from the process described by Liao Ming.

What Liao Ming and the others told him was that after they paid the deposit and spirit stones at the purchasing office, the seniors at the purchasing office would record the purchasing information on the purchasing stone, and all Xiyue Sect disciples could view it.

It seems that this senior has not recorded his purchase information in the purchase stone.

However, since the other party was a strong person in the golden elixir, Chu Ning did not dare to question it, what if this senior recorded the purchase information in the purchase stone at the end of every day.

In the end, Chu Ning didn't ask, said "thank you" and left the shopping mall.

What Chu Ning didn't know was that Qu Zhongshu opened his eyes after he walked out of the shopping mall.

"He is not a disciple of the sect, but he stays in the mountain gate, and his name is Chu Ning. He should be the fiancé of Junior Sister Duan's disciple. However, it is rumored that Chu Ning is only in the middle stage of foundation building. Could it be that he has recently broken through in the late stage of foundation building?"

"It is also possible that it is precisely because Chu Ning is in the late stage of foundation building that Senior Sister Duan lets her disciple enter the secret realm. This is because she does not want to be dragged down too much by Chu Ning's realm."

Qu Zhongshu whispered in his heart that Chu Ning and Tang Ruowei's affairs were not a secret in the Jindan circle of Xiyue Sect, and he was particularly fond of gossip, so he went out of his way to find out about Chu Ning's situation.

The next moment, Qu Zhongshu's figure disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was standing above a mountain peak covered with peach blossoms.

"Is Junior Sister Yang here?"

From the mountain cave, a cold response came: "Senior Brother Qu, is there something wrong?"

"I have good news to tell Junior Sister Yang. Aren't you looking for a high-grade foundation-building pill for your disciple? I have already found someone who can refine a high-grade foundation-building pill."

Qu Zhongshu was already looking forward to the scene of Junior Sister Yang walking out of the cave.

As early as ten years ago, Junior Sister Yang began to prepare for her disciple's Foundation Establishment, and also found several second-grade alchemists, but none of those alchemists could guarantee that they could refine a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

The quality of the foundation-building pill not only affects the probability of successful foundation-building, but also lays a good foundation for future pill-building.

As for the third-grade alchemist, that was not something Junior Sister Yang could hire.

As for Chu Ning's information, Qu Zhongshu also knew it. It is said that this boy had refined a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill before he reached the stage of Foundation Establishment. It's simpler.

Now that Chu Ning needs the Soul Cleansing Liquid, he can exchange the Soul Cleansing Liquid with Chu Ning for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Ten drops of soul-cleansing liquid are almost as valuable as an ordinary foundation-building pill. If it is a high-grade foundation-building pill, the value will be even higher.

The reason why he didn't announce Chu Ning's purchase of soul-cleansing liquid was because he was preparing to trade with Chu Ning privately.

If this news spreads, other senior sisters will probably be tempted when they find out.

Which senior sister doesn’t have a few Qi Condensation disciples?

The most important thing is that he knows that Junior Sister Yang has the soul-cleansing liquid on her hands, so he can make a deal with Chu Ning first.

As long as the deal is reached, other senior sisters will know about it and won't be able to interfere.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qu, but Junior Sister has found the alchemist not long ago. He is already on his way to the mountain gate. He will help refine the Foundation Establishment Pill when the time comes."

"Have you found the alchemist?"

The smile on Qu Zhongshu's face froze, so he was a step late?

But he only knew that Chu Ning had come to the mountain gate. The most important thing was that Chu Ning was a junior after all, and he was not yet a disciple of the sect. If he hadn't come to the door and needed soul-cleansing liquid, he wouldn't have been able to find Chu Ning to refine it. Foundation Building Pill.

"Since Junior Sister Yang has been found, Senior Brother will not bother you."

Qu Zhongshu's back looked a little lonely. Before turning around and leaving, he asked without giving up: "I wonder who the alchemist my junior sister is looking for is?"

"Not long ago, the sect master asked everyone to go out to look for talented alchemists. Junior sister happened to meet a second-grade alchemist. This person is extremely talented in alchemy. This alchemist comes from other areas. I am afraid that senior brother has never heard of it."

"Then congratulations to Junior Sister Yang."
