Chapter 22 Ningxiang Dan (please collect, recommend, invest)
The Fierce Burning Sky Formation is an explosive fire-attribute formation. If two ninth-level Qi-training monks preside over it, it can even block the attack of an early-stage foundation-building monk.
This set of formations can be said to be the best among the first-level high-grade ones. Sun Changfeng, who was on the eighth level of the foundation, bought it at an auction for a high price of four thousand spiritual stones.
The price of a first-level high-grade magic weapon in the market is only 1,500 spirit stones, and a set of formation flags of the same level is comparable to three magic weapons.
In Shendog Mountain, where the Sun family's base camp is located, the clan-protecting formation is only a second-level mid-grade Bagua locking formation that is both offensive and defensive.
Through the comparison between the two, we can also understand the unprecedented importance the family attaches to this first-level low-grade bluestone spirit mine.
"With this set of formations, we can ensure the safety of the Qingling Stone mine. Once the formation is set up, even if the Yan and Zhao families get the news, what do they have to fear?" Regarding this set of formations, Sun Mingsheng also said satisfied.
"Twelfth brother, this time I discovered the bluestone spirit mine and made great contributions to the family. This bottle of Ningxiang Pill is the family's reward." Sun Mingzeng handed over a jade bottle.
"Ningxiang Pill?" Sun Mingsheng looked in disbelief.
The Ningxiang Pill is a first-level high-grade elixir that can help monks break through bottlenecks and advance to the later stages of Qi training. Most of the time, demand exceeds supply in the market.
The gap between the sixth and seventh levels of Qi training seems to be only a small level, but there are some obvious differences in the strength between the two sides.
The seventh level of Qi training belongs to the later stage of Qi training. Once the promotion is successful, the quality of mana in the Dantian will increase dramatically, and the same mana can exert stronger strength.
For most monks, there is usually a big bottleneck between the middle and late stages of Qi training. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least three to five years of careful practice before a breakthrough is possible.
The role of the Ningxiang Pill is to break through bottlenecks. With this bottle of elixir in hand, as long as you polish your cultivation to the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, you can easily advance to the seventh level of Qi training and step into the threshold of the later stage of Qi training.
The three to five years saved are already a considerable amount for a Qi Refining Stage monk whose life span is only 150 years.
With three to five more years of accumulation, a monk may be promoted to Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, he may lose the opportunity to advance to Foundation Establishment.
Ningxiang Dan usually appears in auctions of various sizes. The Sun family does not have much storage, so using it as a reward this time is considered a big deal.
In addition, there are many hidden rewards. At present, among the Ming generation, except for Sun Mingzeng, there has not yet been a second late-stage qi-training monk.
If Sun Mingsheng can break through as a talisman seal master in the shortest possible time, coupled with his contribution to the discovery of the bluestone spirit mine, he is likely to become the second Ming Dynasty family to focus on cultivating.
The Sun family is weak and the training resources provided are limited, so only two seed candidates can be selected in each generation.
Among the five major sects, each one will select some outstanding ones from the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage monks to train as core disciples.
Each of these core disciples belonging to the five major sects is a genius with dual spiritual roots, and their goal is to condense the golden elixir.
"Twelfth Brother, Twelfth Brother, we should hurry up and go to the Bluestone Spirit Mine to set up a formation." Sun Mingzeng urged as a shaking sensation came, and he was awakened just now.
"Brother, follow me." The group of eleven people quickly disappeared into the mountainous mine tunnels.
Sun Mingsheng specifically chose some of the more remote mine tunnels to avoid leaking the news of the arrival of many monks.
Although most of these miners are ordinary people in Lingyu Town who rely on the Sun family to survive, it is not certain that there are no spies from other families developing among them.
The Sun family sent a total of eleven monks to a barren spiritual mine like the Jade Spirit Mine without any warning. There must be something fishy about it.
"Seventh Master, the family has sent someone here, please show up to see me." After entering the restricted area, Sun Mingsheng took the initiative to speak out.
Sun Youshi is proficient in earth attribute spells and is good at hiding the aura of nirvana. If he had not taken the initiative to show up, they might not be able to find his trace.
"Ming Zeng, why are you here? Where are those old guys?" Sun Youshi also looked puzzled.
"Seventh Master, the family caravan has set off for Zhongshan County for trading. Most of the elders in the family are accompanying the caravan. My grandson also wants to make some contributions to the family." Sun Mingzeng explained briefly and immediately sent the first-level high-grade Burning Sky Fire. The flags were handed over.
The Burning Heaven Fierce Formation consists of twenty-one formation flags, one main formation flag of first-grade high quality, and twenty auxiliary formation flags, including ten first-grade mid-grade flags and ten first-grade low-grade flags.
"Xunmu, I have become more and more confused these years. After I return to the family, I will definitely have some arguments with him, huh." Sun Youshi still looked at ease.
Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with the patriarch Sun Xunmu for sending the only genius with two talents in the family to perform the task.
"Seventh Master, since eldest brother is already here, it is best to complete the formation arrangement as soon as possible and mine it as soon as possible to earn spiritual stones for the family." Sun Mingsheng forced himself to calm down the atmosphere.
"This is the only way. After setting up the formation flag, I will take Ming Zeng back to the family. Ming Sheng will continue to guard. I will personally come to transport all the bluestone mines every ten days." Sun Youshi is very familiar with arrangements. For this kind of affairs It's easy to handle.
The Burning Sky Fire Formation is composed of formation flags. It only needs to be arranged according to the established formation diagram. Two eighth-level Qi-training monks can work together to fully activate the formation.
"I will set up the formation. You cooperate and activate the formation as soon as possible to ensure the safety of this place." Sun Youshi said with responsibility.
In order to quickly complete the arrangement of the formation, the remaining eleven monks also participated. Sun Ming, the highest cultivator, held four first-order mid-level formation flags.
Sun Mingsheng holds two first-order mid-grade formation flags and two first-order low-grade formation flags. The remaining monks hold the remaining four first-order mid-grade formation flags and eight first-order low-grade formation flags according to their different cultivation levels.
"Everyone is at your position. Listen to my orders. Inject mana into the formation flag. Burning Sky Fire Formation. Let's rise." After a cup of tea time to accumulate energy, Sun Youshi shouted loudly. The size of the first-level high-grade main formation flag suddenly increased. It is more than a hundred times larger, like a giant pillar supporting the sky.
Sun Youshi threw it upwards violently, and rays of light scattered from the main formation flag and evenly connected to the auxiliary formation flags.
These auxiliary formation flags also burst into fiery red light based on their respective positions among the formation flags, as if they were actively responding to the king's call.
Eleven monks, including Sun Mingzeng and Sun Mingsheng, frantically input the magic power in their bodies into the formation flags in their hands as if they were free of charge.
According to different positions in the formation diagram, the formation flags were raised in an orderly manner. As the light bloomed, patches of crimson filled the surroundings, and the temperature in the mine also increased rapidly.
