Chapter 704 Undercurrent
Hearing that Ye Chunyang did not agree to practice the formation on the spot, some hesitation flashed across Mingrong's face.
According to his idea, he planned to refine the Lingxu Formation immediately, but if it was to be foolproof, Ye Chunyang must be willing to cooperate. If the other party resisted at all, all the previous efforts in the refining process would be wasted.
Under this premise, Mingrong just gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, I can give you time, but there must be a deadline. I can't keep waiting for you."
Refining the Spiritual Ruins Formation is extremely important to him and there must be no mistakes.
"Three days."
Ye Chunyang said: "I will be here in three days, and I will fully cooperate with you in refining the formation."
Ming Rong frowned slightly when he heard this, but still nodded and said: "Okay, three days is all. It just so happens that I also need to arrange for another person to practice the formation. If you need anything in these three days, just ask you. If a few senior brothers mention it, they will be satisfied."
Ye Chunyang chuckled noncommittally and stood up to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Just when Ye Chunyang was about to leave the attic, Mingrong suddenly waved his hand and threw a bottle of elixir into Ye Chunyang's hand, saying: "Since I want you to assist in the formation formation, I will not treat you badly. There are some marrow cleansing and refining in it." Please take the bone elixir in the past few days to keep your energy sufficient during the formation. After the formation is completed, I will give you another high-level skill to participate in the selection meeting in a few months."
Ye Chunyang felt strange in his heart, but on the surface he still thanked him, then turned around and left the attic.
In fact, Mingrong's bottle of elixir was just the lowest marrow-cleansing elixir. Ye Chunyang had given it to someone many years ago and it was no longer such a low-level thing, so he looked down upon it.
After Ye Chunyang left, Mingrong was the only one left in the attic. After a moment of silence, he slowly smiled. At the same time, a figure walked out from a certain stone pillar behind him. He was wrapped in black clothes and wore a thick cloak, making it difficult to see his face. However, as soon as the figure appeared, the air in the room suddenly dropped by three points.
"Fellow Daoist Ming, you know the importance of the Lingxu Formation to us. Is there really no problem with this person? But don't waste your whole life at this last moment."
The man in black raised his head, revealing half of his pale face, and a hoarse voice came from his throat.
Ming Rong's eyes flashed, and after being silent for a while, he turned back to look at the man in black and said, "Friend Daoist Lu, you told me the method of refining the Lingxu Formation yourself. At that time, you said that you could only extract the purest five elements from the five elements. The vitality can take shape. Now that I have found this person with pure spiritual roots, why are you worried? "
"It's not that I'm worried, but when I was observing that kid just now, I always felt that there was something wrong with him. We'd better be careful." The man in black had his eyebrows lowered, and there was no expression on his face.
Ming Rong burst out laughing after hearing this, and said: "Fellow Daoist Lu, you are too worried. A mere mortal with spiritual roots has not even practiced Kung Fu. Even if there is something wrong, what big trouble can I make?" I don’t believe he can refuse my conditions despite all the temptations.”
The man in black was gloomy and silent.
At this point, Ming Rong looked at the man in black with deep eyes and said lightly: "Friend Daoist Lu, please don't forget what you promised me. You also know that I spent a lot of time to refine this Spiritual Ruins Formation. How much effort it takes.”
The fingers under the long sleeves of the man in black seemed to move, he turned to Ming Rong, let out a low laugh, and said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist Ming, you and I have known each other for so many years, when have I ever deceived you? I just need to wait for the formation to be completed." If it is done, I will give you what you need. I wonder if this will satisfy you?"
As soon as these words came out, Mingrong's eyes clearly flashed with excitement, but he was also very human and quickly regained his composure, nodding his head without any emotion or anger.
At this time, the man in black raised his head, looked towards the distance outside the door, and murmured to himself: "Speaking of which, I always feel that the boy named Ye is a bit weird. Have you ever checked his origins? "
Seeing the look of the man in black, Ming Rong was startled for a moment, and then said with a half-smile: "Of course, after checking, this guy is just a charlatan from Yuanzhou who helps the world by hanging pots. He doesn't have any background. Why, Brother Lu actually If you are interested in a mortal, has Brother Lu ever seen this kid before?"
"How could I be interested in a mortal? After all, he is just a tool for us to refine the Spiritual Ruins Formation." The man in black shook his head and said with some surprise: "It's just that the name Ye Chunyang is a bit familiar, as if he is somewhere heard it.”
"There are so many people with the same name in the world. It wouldn't be surprising even if Brother Lu has really heard of this name."
After hearing what the man in black said, Ming Rong was also surprised, but then he didn't care.
"Maybe I'm just worrying too much..." The man in black murmured in confusion.
After a moment of pause, he added: "But after you told him so many things today and gave him three days, aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to run away?"
"Can he run away?"
Mingrong sneered.
"What tricks can a boy with no cultivation do under my nose? Besides, I have just placed a spiritual mark on him, so I can control his every move at any time. Even if he wants to run away, he can't escape from my grasp. Heart."
"This is best, but you still have to be cautious. The Lingxu Formation has reached its final moment. Lu doesn't want anything to go wrong at this juncture." The man in black nodded expressionlessly.
"Everything is ready. Everything is ready now. We only need Dongfeng. Naturally, nothing will go wrong." Mingrong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "How about the other Five Elements Yuan Qi arranged by Brother Lu? So far, I can still do it. Never seen that person.”
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, since you have prepared everything, Lu will not let you down. I will bring the last piece of vitality when we are refining the formation in a few days."
The man in black said something sinisterly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared behind the stone pillar again and disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.
Ye Chunyang didn't know what happened after he left the attic. At this time, he was returning to his room, closing the door and holding a spiritual light in his hand, sneering.
"Mingrong's little trick to deceive a three-year-old is okay, but trying to use it against me, Ye Chunyang, is simply ridiculous."
This spiritual light was the spiritual mark that Ming Rong left in his body, and its purpose was naturally to monitor him.
It's a pity that this low-level pediatrician is too weak for Ye Chunyang. Ye Chunyang knows exactly when the other party moves, but he just doesn't reveal it because it would alarm the other party.
After sneering, Ye Chunyang put away his magic power, and the spirit mark disappeared into his palm again.
"The Arctic Ice Pond requires the cooperation of two elders at the core formation stage to open it. I'm afraid there is no other way to get in except to pretend to be a disciple of Mingrong and participate in the selection meeting." Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered slightly, thinking about a plan in his heart.
He did not erase the spiritual mark left by Ming Rong, but allowed it to remain in his body.
Now that the terms have been negotiated with Mingrong, it is best to maintain the current situation. Ye Chunyang does not want to be exposed before he has the opportunity to enter the Arctic Ice Pond.
Of course, it was impossible for Mingrong to use this small spiritual mark to monitor his actions. As long as he used some magic power to block it, what the other party saw was just an illusion.
Besides, Ming Rong wanted to observe him through this, so Ye Chunyang did the same.
Although he didn't know where Mingrong got the method of setting up the Lingxu Formation, and what was the purpose of refining this formation, Ye Chunyang always felt that there was something hidden in it, and asking him for three days was not out of any concern. Instead, keep an eye on this person secretly during this period, and maybe you can discover some secrets.
However, Ye Chunyang would not use low-level methods like Lingji like Mingrong. With his powerful spiritual consciousness, any abnormal behavior of the other party would be reflected in his mind immediately.
After making this decision, Ye Chunyang stayed still for the next three days, not even taking a step forward into the room, and the smell of herbs could be heard from time to time.
But what no one noticed was that in the past three days, a spiritual consciousness was lingering outside Ye Chunyang's residence, and it was discovered that Ye Chunyang seemed to have really closed the door and used elixirs to cleanse his marrow and practice before leaving quietly.
…
While the undercurrent of Feixianmen was surging, at Julingmen tens of thousands of miles away, an old man surnamed Sun was sitting in his mansion, his eyes slightly lowered as he listened to the news reported by a disciple in front of him.
"Have you really found out clearly that Sun Qian is indeed dead?" A deep voice came from the old man's mouth, suppressing terrible anger.
"Yes, when the disciple arrived at Yuanzhou Kingdom, Junior Brother Sun had been poisoned by someone. The disciple found his body in Prince Ning's Mansion and brought it back." The disciple quickly bowed.
The corners of the eyes of the old man surnamed Sun twitched, and his expression gradually darkened: "Where is his body? Take me there to see it!"
"Just outside the hall." The disciple did not dare to neglect.
The old man surnamed Sun didn't say much, and swept out of the door like a gust of wind. There was a corpse in the courtyard. All the muscles and bones were broken, and he was as limp as mud. However, a spell had been cast to prevent the body from decaying.
Even though the corpse was mangled with blood, the old man surnamed Sun recognized the identity of his nephew at a glance, and a fierce murderous intent suddenly surged into his face.
But he didn't say a word, as if he wasn't surprised by the result. He silently walked to the corpse with one hand and struck the latter's forehead with a spiritual spell.
A shocking scene occurred.
Only a few strange noises were heard, and a stench spread throughout the courtyard. Sun Qian's body quickly shriveled up and turned into a cloud of gray mist that slowly rose, and his flesh and blood turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, the old man surnamed Sun pointed his finger, and a beam of light penetrated into the rising gray fog. The light slowly squirmed, and the scene of Sun Qian and the young man surnamed Lu bloodbathing Prince Ning's Mansion that night emerged.
At the same time, the figures of Princess Hongxiao and Ye Chunyang appeared in front of the old man, and Sun Qian was immediately beaten into a pulp by the opponent's punch.
"Go and find out who this person is and where he is!" The old man surnamed Sun waved his hand, and the picture was fixed on Ye Chunyang's face. The murderous intention surged like a tidal wave, "If you dare to accept my nephew, I will definitely kill him." He can’t live, he can’t die!”
The disciple next to him trembled, not daring to say anything unnecessary, and quickly took the order.
