Chapter 437: Forbidden Yuan Formation
There was a desk near the window in the room, with a pile of books on it. In the middle of the desk, there were a few pages being written, but only half of the pages were written.
"Who is this Taoist friend?" The hoarse voice with obviously insufficient breath came out again.
Before the depressed man answered, Xiao Lin's face suddenly changed, and the light in his eyes flashed, making the originally very dim room seem to have suddenly flashed with lightning.
"Junior Xiao Lin, I pay my respects to the senior." Xiao Lin suddenly bowed to the gauze curtain and said respectfully.
"Ahem, I am just a candle in the wind. The fire of my soul will be extinguished at any time. It is only a matter of time before I re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. I am not worthy of the words "Daoist friend and senior." The hoarse voice sounded again, and a figure slowly stood up inside.
"Master." The depressed man hurriedly stepped forward, lifted the gauze curtain, gently lifted up a graceful body inside, and then stood up the pillow and let it lean on it.
Xiao Lin saw the beautiful but pale face of the woman in front of him, and his face showed a stunned expression.
He thought that since this person was seriously injured, he must be emaciated and look very old, but the woman in front of him still looked like she was in her twenties, petite and pretty, but her face was extremely pale.
If she hadn't been suffering from illness, she would have been a charming and pretty woman. Of course, this was not what surprised him, but he had scanned the woman with his spiritual sense after entering the house.
The woman was obviously terminally ill at this moment, and her mana had been exhausted. Xiao Lin easily scanned her thoroughly, but the haggard Yuanying in the woman's body shocked Xiao Lin.
He never thought that the master of the depressed man, who he thought was a famous formation master, was actually a high-level cultivator in the Yuanying stage.
And this high-level cultivator in the Yuanying stage was actually tortured by serious injuries for decades, which really made Xiao Lin feel a little puzzled.
"I have been bedridden for sixty years. This is the first time that a fellow Taoist has come to visit me. If you don't mind my humble house, please sit down and talk. Ahem." After saying a few words, the woman coughed violently again, as if her injury had been aggravated.
After Xiao Lin bowed his hands, he sat down on the chair in front of the desk.
"What kind of poison did you get, senior? You have been bedridden for decades and still can't get rid of it?"
"What's your name, fellow Taoist?"
"I am Xiao Lin. Today, I happened to see your disciple selling formation books in the East City Market. After taking a closer look, I found that the principles in it were easy to understand, and there was a sense of simplicity. That's why I wanted to come and visit you. I didn't expect that you were actually a high-level cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage. This surprised me."
"Haha, fellow Taoist is surprised. How could a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage be hindered by injuries and unable to recover for decades?"
"I do have doubts about this." Xiao Lin smiled awkwardly and admitted generously.
"Ah." With a light sigh, the woman said, "Didn't you guess it, fellow Daoist? Even if we cultivators fight with others, the worst that can happen is that we will be destroyed on the spot. It is rare for me to suffer from illness for decades, and it is rare for me to be in such a miserable state. The only thing that can make a Yuanying cultivator so miserable is that the origin is damaged or the body is poisoned by an incurable poison."
"Could it be that the senior was really poisoned by some kind of poison?"
"Anyway, we are all dying, and there is nothing we can't say. Not only was I poisoned by the Soul-Erosion Powder, one of the Ten Poisons, but my enemy also broke my Dantian Qi Sea, which damaged the origin of the Qi Sea."
"Ah." Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but exclaimed. In fact, when he suspected that the woman in front of him was poisoned, Xiao Lin thought of the Ten Poisons. In the world of cultivation, the only poison that can make Yuanying cultivators helpless is the Ten Poisons, which are said to be incurable.
Thinking of his master Su Qingyun, he was also poisoned by the blood-eating and spirit-corrupting poison, one of the Ten Poisons. Su Qingyun was poisoned by the Ten Poisons when he was fighting with the people of the Ancient Xuan Sect.
This reminded Xiao Lin of the demon Jindan who died in his hands, who was also poisoned by the blood-eating and spirit-corrupting poison. That demon Jindan was from the Black Demon Sect, and the Black Demon Sect and the Ancient Xuan Sect were like fire and water. It can be seen that the person who plotted against that demon Jindan and his master may be the same person.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but look at the dejected young man standing respectfully beside him with his hands down, and felt ashamed in his heart.
The man in front of him was indeed loyal and honest. Even though his master was seriously injured, he not only did not leave a step, but also looked like he had already given up hope on his own path of cultivation. Perhaps in his heart, he only hoped to be able to take care of his master until his death, so that he could have a clear conscience.
In contrast, Xiao Lin's master Su Qingyun is now in the sect, and his life or death is unknown. His junior sister Su Yuru is also unknown, and he is powerless to do anything about it, which really makes him feel uneasy.
"Daoyou came to see me, a dying man, not just to chat with me?" After a while, the woman coughed a few times and said.
"Junior has always been very interested in the way of formations. I happened to see your understanding of formations in the market, which really made me admire you. So I took the opportunity to visit you, in fact, I want to ask you for advice on the way of practicing formations."
"It turns out that when the little girl first established the foundation, she was very obsessed with formations. She has been practicing for hundreds of years and has never given up on it. Especially in recent decades, although she cannot go out or practice, she can study formations. I admit I have some insights, but..."
"It's just what? Senior, it's okay to say it." Hearing that the woman did not refuse directly, he knew that things were turning around and asked hurriedly.
"It's just that I've been ill for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't live for a few more days. Even if I want to teach, I have more than enough intention but not enough energy."
"Senior Xiao Lin's complexion does look a little bad. Xiao has some elixirs to treat injuries. I don't know if they are effective for seniors' injuries. But fortunately, even if this elixir is ineffective, it will not cause any discomfort to seniors' injuries. OK, senior, you can give it a try." After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin took out a jade bottle from the star ring and handed it to the depressed young man next to him.
The decadent young man took the jade bottle with a look of surprise on his face. He hurried to the woman's bed, picked up the water glass next to him, and was about to feed the master medicine.
The woman waved her hand: "Huzi, please step aside first. This elixir master will take it later."
"Little girl, thank you Taoist friend for the elixir. Let's do this. I have a formation book here, which contains some commonly used formation and prohibition techniques in the world of immortality today. Taoist friend, take it back and read it first. If there is anything you don't understand, You can come here at any time. As long as I can still speak, I will naturally teach you everything."
"Really, Xiao, thank you so much, senior." Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then took a thick ancient book from the woman's hand.
This ancient book is very heavy to acquire. On the cover are four ancient seal characters [Forbidden Element Formation Dao].
"This book is all-encompassing and basically covers the mysteries of ancient and modern formations and prohibitions. However, it is not that you have a thorough understanding of the formations and you will be able to face the restricted formations unimpeded. On the contrary, the more you study the formations, the better you will be. You will find that the mysterious principles of heaven and earth require us to be in awe, and the study of a formation does not mean that you can decipher it by understanding the principles. On the contrary, the ways of formations are mutually reinforcing and incompatible, and are endlessly mellow. Some formations really can only be broken through brute force.”
"However, those of us who study formations can minimize the cost of breaking the formation. This is also the meaning of formation masters."
Xiao Lin listened carefully on the side. Although he was confused, he knew that he might still be confused today, but given time, he would be able to understand thoroughly and understand what the person in front of him was saying.
"Senior, please tell me your name. Xiao Lin will remember your kindness in teaching the Dharma forever." Xiao Lin said this from the bottom of his heart. The woman in front of him was already dying, but he was willing to teach him the classics he had studied for many years. This kind of kindness , is also extremely precious. "
"My surname is Jiang Yingxue, and his name is Lehu. Although he has the qualifications of the Earth Spirit Root, he has no talent for the formation method, and he cannot inherit my mantle. Since he can find a Taoist friend, it can be considered a destiny. , As for whether you can understand it thoroughly, it depends on your own destiny, fellow Taoist."
"Huzi, master, I'm tired." After saying that, the woman lay down and closed her eyes.
Xiao Lin also gave a sensible salute, turned around and left. After leaving the door, Xiao Lin saw Lehu also walking out, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin took out another thousand low-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Lehu, asking him to buy some elixirs to suppress Senior Jiang's injuries.
After Lehu thanked him profusely, Xiao Lin left the yard and left the area south of the city.
In the next few days, Xiao Lin continued to wander around Black Rock City, selling the Crimson Jade Pill he had refined in the past few days in several smaller shops. Of course, every time Xiao Lin sold the elixir, They will use the secret technique of Yi Ling to transform into different identities.
And during this process, he was also very careful. Every time he sold out, he would walk around the city for a long time, and only returned to the cave after confirming that no one was following him.
To Xiao Lin's surprise, the blood sesame fruits he cultivated were also very popular. At a shop called Hongqifang, a female receptionist was so pleasantly surprised after learning that he had some blood sesame fruits on his hand that she was willing to sell them to him. Purchased for 10,000 yuan per low-grade spirit stone.
Xiao Lin naturally took the opportunity to show his reluctance, saying that he didn't have a lot of blood sesame fruits in his hands, and he was preparing to use them to refine a few elixirs for replenishing qi and blood, and he didn't want to sell them.
To Xiao Lin's surprise, when the female receptionist saw that Xiao Lin was unwilling to sell, she raised the price to fifteen thousand yuan of low-grade spiritual stones.
This really shocked Xiao Lin. He had greatly underestimated the female cultivator's obsession with appearance.
In desperation, Xiao Lin "reluctantly" sold 20 blood sesame fruits and collected 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones from the Red Ware Shop.
With the injection of these three hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones, Xiao Lin's net worth suddenly reached an astonishing amount of more than one million low-grade spiritual stones.
