Chapter 703 Conditions
A storm was over.
Ye Chunyang turned a deaf ear to the outside world and was not interested in the affairs of Feixianmen. In the next few days, he went back and forth in Mingrong's caves as usual, looking like he was concentrating on practicing hard.
Such a simple and well-behaved appearance made Xu Shengqi and others feel very relieved.
One day, Ye Chunyang was reading an ancient scroll in the courtyard with "relish" when a figure hurriedly walked in.
Ye Chunyang looked up and saw that it was the fourth senior brother Dong Rui. He couldn't help but feel a little strange and said, "Fourth senior brother is in such a hurry, is there anything?"
Since this person didn't get any results from him a few days ago, he rarely came here. Today's impetuous appearance surprised him.
This person was not polite at all. After entering, he sat down next to Ye Chunyang and poured himself a cup of tea before saying, "Junior brother, Master asked you to go over."
"Master is looking for me? Do you know why?" Ye Chunyang asked curiously.
Dong Rui shook his head: "We don't know the specific reason, but Junior brother, have you forgotten that Master asked you to go find him ten days later when you entered the sect? Maybe he wants to teach you Taoism."
"I see." Ye Chunyang nodded.
He had been concentrating on the matter of the Arctic Ice Pond these days, and forgot about Mingrong's appointment that day, but he didn't care about the so-called teaching.
What could Mingrong teach him with his cultivation?
But since the other party summoned him, Ye Chunyang had to go over to take a look. He couldn't rest assured if he didn't figure out the matter.
"Hey, Junior Brother, why are you still standing there? Master never likes to wait for people. If you go late, you will be punished. You'd better go find him quickly." Seeing Ye Chunyang standing still, Dong Rui couldn't help but wonder.
"I know. I'll go there right away." Ye Chunyang smiled slightly, looking honest and straightforward.
He didn't stop and went straight out of the courtyard to Mingrong's residence.
After ten days of familiarity, Ye Chunyang has a good understanding of the forbidden magic mechanism of this cave, and secretly memorized several good defense arrays for future research. In general, although I have been here for this period of time, I have gained something.
Mingrong's residence is in a high building in the center of the cave. After Ye Chunyang followed the route, he bowed at the door in a formal manner and said, "Disciple Ye Chunyang greets Master."
"Come in!"
A low voice came from the building, sounding a little unhappy. Ye Chunyang touched his nose and didn't say much, but pushed the door open.
The room was a spacious hall, with nothing in sight, only a dozen formation flags erected in all directions, each with a strange wolf head pattern. Ye Chunyang couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene, because the moment he stepped into the building, he felt a cold breath coming from the surroundings, which was obviously related to the formation.
Ming Rong was sitting cross-legged among the dozens of formation flags, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were sunken, and his face was full of fatigue. Seeing Ye Chunyang coming in, he waved his hand and motioned him to sit down opposite.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed darkly, and he sat down quietly.
Ming Rong didn't say anything, but took out an ancient scroll from his Qiankun bag and threw it to Ye Chunyang.
"Take a good look at this scroll. Next, your master will ask you to help refine a formation. The method of setting up the formation is all in it." After the scroll was released, Ming Rong said expressionlessly.
Ye Chunyang took it without changing his expression, opened the scroll and examined it silently.
"Don't you want to ask why your master wants you to help with the formation? After all, you have only been a disciple for ten days and have no foundation at all." Ye Chunyang's calmness was somewhat beyond Mingrong's expectations, and he couldn't help but look at him with great interest.
Ye Chunyang sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked like a good disciple, saying: "Since the master has accepted me as a disciple, he must think that I am useful, so why should I ask more questions? But Chunyang thinks that the master may not really want to accept me as a disciple, right?"
Mingrong was stunned, and Ye Chunyang's performance really surprised him.
His eyes flickered, and he said, "I didn't expect that you look like a blockhead, but you are very smart. It seems that you have seen something from this scroll?"
"Master, you are too kind to me. Your scroll is extremely profound. I can only vaguely see that I need to hold the flag to help you refine the formation according to the above method, but I don't know the rest. How about Master, please help me solve my doubts?"
Unconsciously, Ye Chunyang's tone also changed quietly. No one would think that this is a conversation between master and disciple. Instead, it has a bit of undercurrent.
In fact, since Ye Chunyang received this scroll, his heart has become cold. Mingrong thought that he had no foundation, but in fact, this scroll gave him a familiar feeling. After thinking carefully, he realized that this formation was somewhat similar to the Lingxu formation that Qingzhi forced to cross the boundary to cast in Tianxinghai.
From this point of view, even if the old man is not going to refine the Lingxu formation, it must be closely related to this.
But the old man seemed very cautious, and only gave him a part of the scroll, so he could only vaguely see the clues but not the whole picture, and could not make a complete judgment for a while.
"Hehe... the boy is very smart."
Ming Rong looked at Ye Chunyang in silence, and suddenly laughed after a while, like a vicious and treacherous person who showed his conspiracy after being exposed, and said: "You are right, your qualifications are indeed not enough to become my disciple, but as long as you help me refine this formation, I will really accept you as a true disciple."
For some unknown reason, before Ye Chunyang could speak, he continued: "I'm afraid there's something you don't know yet. In a few months, there will be a selection meeting for my disciples, and the disciples who stand out from the meeting can be sent to the North Pole. If you receive spiritual energy initiation in the ice pond, even if you have the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots, you will have a good chance of building a foundation. However, to participate in this meeting, you must be a true disciple of the Five Meridians Immortal Leader."
"Yeah?"
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised. In fact, he had already known about this in the classics, but now he had to pretend not to know when Ming Rong said it.
But this condition can make his heart flutter.
He chuckled lightly and said: "Master takes this as a condition. It seems that Chunyang must practice the formation for you, but Chunyang is very puzzled. How can a disciple with no cultivation ability defeat Master? kick in?"
Mingrong was a little surprised when he heard this.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Chunyang couldn't sense spiritual energy cultivation in Ye Chunyang, he might have thought that the person sitting opposite him was a seasoned person who had experienced countless intrigues.
However, he seemed to have already calculated something, and said: "It's okay to tell you. This formation is called the Lingxu Formation. It needs to gather the energy of the five elements to take shape. You have four spiritual roots, although you have the worst qualifications in cultivating immortals. , but you have the most vitality of the five elements, and you have never practiced the technique, so the vitality in your body is the purest. There is no need to do anything when assisting the master in practicing the formation, just borrow a little vitality from you. "
"But don't worry, although I want to borrow your vitality, my master will not hurt your life. Once the formation is completed, I will give you a panacea to help you recover."
Ming Rongyou couldn't help but said as if he was worried that Ye Chunyang would refuse.
Although it is necessary to borrow the vitality of Ye Chunyang's Four Spiritual Roots, it may be necessary for the other party to actively cooperate. Otherwise, there may be deviations during the formation and the previous efforts will be wasted.
This is why Mingrong did not take strong measures against Ye Chunyang, but instead took him back to the cave to become his disciple.
But how did he know that what Ye Chunyang showed him was just a superficial illusion?
After hearing what he said, Ye Chunyang secretly thought that indeed, from the scroll, he could vaguely see that this magic formation was very similar to the one set up by Qingzhi, but Mingrong was a little too bold, tearing the void apart with the spirit ruins formation. It is so powerful that if you are not careful, it is very likely to be backfired, resulting in the destruction of the formation and the death of everyone.
At the beginning, Qingzhi set up the formation based on his cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage. This person dared to do this even though he was only at the late stage of his magic power. It was extremely stupid.
Besides, Ye Chunyang didn't believe his lies about never hurting him. He had seen the power of the Lingxu Formation with his own eyes. Even when he was in the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, he could be forcibly teleported. If he really didn't have any cultivation at all. If you rush to help this person practice the formation, I'm afraid the chance of survival is slim.
However, now that his magic power is comparable to that of the Danjie stage, there is nothing to worry about. Moreover, he also needs to participate in the selection meeting as a disciple of Ming Rong's true disciple. It doesn't matter if he gets what he needs instead of doing superficial things.
"How? If you have other conditions, just put them forward, and I will be satisfied with you as a teacher." Seeing Ye Chunyang's silence, Mingrong became a little anxious.
The Lingxu Formation can help him accomplish a great thing, no matter how much it costs.
Ye Chunyang was noncommittal. With Mingrong's ability, he might not be able to give him what he wanted.
However, even though he thought so in his heart, Ye Chunyang acted ignorant and said: "It is okay for the master to ask the disciple to cooperate with the formation, but there are still some questions in the disciple's mind, I wonder if I can ask them?"
"But it doesn't matter!" Mingrong's face flashed with excitement.
"Since the purpose of this Lingxu Formation is to collect pure five elements of vitality, it only has four spiritual roots. It seems to have lost one line. Moreover, to collect all the five elements of vitality, Master only needs to find five people with single attributes of heavenly spiritual roots. "Yes, why do you need to find me?" Ye Chunyang asked calmly.
"I thought it was some big deal, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."
Mingrong curled his lips and said: "Do you really think that the qualifications of Tianlinggen are so easy to find? It is even more difficult to find people with different attributes and who have never practiced the technique. Even if there are such people in the sect, The disciples are also being taken into the sect by other immortal leaders. How can they easily be sent to help me form the formation? As for the missing line of your four spiritual roots, I have already found it. As long as you have no problem, you can start setting up the formation."
Ye Chunyang was suddenly enlightened. In fact, he could guess some of the reasons why Mingrong chose him. The reason why he asked this question was just to get the method of setting up the Lingxu Formation from him. As expected, the other party answered all the questions unsuspectingly. Very much to his liking.
"Do you have any other questions now?" Mingrong asked with a hint of anxiety.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered slightly, he nodded after thinking for a moment, and said: "Okay, I can promise to practice the formation for you, but not now. You need to give me some time to prepare."
