Chapter 57: Bayberry
"Senior, thanks to senior's intervention this time, my name is Yang Mei."
The girl followed Xu Yi for a while and couldn't help but stop. She spoke words of gratitude to Xu Yi with bright eyes.
bayberry.
Xu Yi smiled slightly. This name reminded her of Xuanjimen's Pu Tao. Both names were very cute.
"You don't have to thank me, I just can't understand what the shopkeeper said."
That shopkeeper reminded Xu Yi of what happened in Mengcheng.
The reason why I had a conflict with people from the Formation Heaven Alliance was because of the formation nameplate.
I don’t know when this trend arose in the Kyushu Continent. Without the so-called nameplate of a formation cultivator, one cannot claim to be a formation cultivator.
Xu Yi sneered at this, then she still had to be a formation cultivator without a formation cultivator nameplate.
"Senior, you also think that is unreasonable, don't you?" Yang Tao's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Like Xu Yi, she is also a formation cultivator without a formation cultivation nameplate.
But the difference is that Xu Yi does not plan to go to the Tiantian League to take the formation cultivation nameplate because of previous conflicts with people from the Tiantian Alliance, while Yang Mei does not have the spirit stone to participate in the formation cultivation assessment.
"The Formation Heaven Alliance stipulates that every time you participate in the Formation Cultivation Assessment, you need to hand in a middle-grade spiritual stone." Yang Mei said angrily, "For a casual cultivator like me, a middle-grade spiritual stone is not enough for a casual cultivator like me."
It took me a long time to get it together. I originally planned to sell the array and take the assessment, but the result..."
Yangmei's voice became lower and lower.
Xu Yi said in surprise: "To participate in the array cultivation assessment, you actually need a middle-grade spiritual stone."
"Yes." Yang Mei tilted her head, "Senior should not be a formation cultivator. A medium-grade spiritual stone is the price for the first assessment, and it will be more expensive after that."
Xu Yi shook his head and smacked his tongue a little.
The three people of Xuanqing Sect should be allowed to see what the real black heart is.
It's just a preliminary assessment, which requires a middle-grade spiritual stone. The Tiantian Alliance is a veritable gold-swallowing cave.
No wonder the Master Gongyang she met in Mengcheng last time tried every means to make money from Yuan Dahai.
Xu Yi's impression of the Tiantian Alliance once again hit rock bottom.
"I don't have a formation cultivator nameplate, but I can barely be considered a formation cultivator."
"Ah, senior, I don't understand what you mean."
Xu Yi shook his head, "It's nothing, you can go."
She originally wanted to express her views to Yang Mei, but then she thought that Yang Mei was in a different situation than her. It would not be a good thing for her to rush into Yang Mei with her own ideas, so she swallowed back what she was about to say.
Yang Mei looked at Xu Yi as if she didn't understand, and suddenly invited her, "Can I invite senior to my home?"
Seeing Xu Yi looking sideways at her, she hurriedly said: "Senior, I have no other intention, I just want to thank you."
"No need, go back quickly."
Yang Mei couldn't even afford the assessment fee for a medium-grade spiritual stone, so why should she bother to entertain her.
After Xu Yi finished speaking, she was about to leave. Yang Mei took two steps forward and stopped in front of her.
"Senior, I know you despise my repayment, but..." Yang Mei hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, wriggled her lips, and said silently, "I have relics of ancient formations at home."
Xu Yi recognized Yang Mei's mouth shape, her pupils trembled, and she glanced sharply around to make sure no one was paying attention to their movements, then she shouted in a low voice: "How dare you!"
Yang Mei was also aggrieved, "If it weren't for the senior's refusal to agree, I, I wouldn't have said it here."
As a casual cultivator who grew up in Bagua City since she was a child, Yang Mei knew very well how dangerous the things in her hands were, so she never told anyone.
She had no intention of telling Xu Yi, but when she heard Xu Yi say that she was also a formation cultivator without a formation cultivation nameplate, she suddenly felt a strong desire to talk.
The moment she said the words, she regretted a little, but seeing that Xu Yi was more anxious than she was, her regret was replaced by a secret joy.
"Senior, come home with me." Yang Mei raised her head slightly and looked at Xu Yi pitifully.
Xu Yi thought about it for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of the ancient formation relics.
Her trip to Bagua City was originally for the ancient formation, but now the opportunity was right in front of her, and she didn't want to miss it.
"Let's go, lead the way."
"Okay!" Yang Mei responded crisply, walking briskly through Bagua City with Xu Yi.
"Senior, we are here." Yang Mei lowered her head in embarrassment.
In front of them was a somewhat dilapidated hut, with blue-gray moss covering the corners.
Xu Yi said lightly: "It's quite quiet here, not bad."
Yang Mei showed a shy smile, stepped forward and opened the door.
Xu Yi followed Yang Mei into the hut. The house was in order, clean and tidy. It was obvious that the owner of the house loved it very much.
"Senior, please sit down and I'll get you some water."
Xu Yi nodded, but did not sit down immediately. His eyes fell on a long table, where the materials for making array plates were scattered here and there, and there were several semi-finished array plates next to it.
"Can I take a look at the formation plate you made?" Xu Yi asked loudly.
Yang Mei hurried over with a tea cup and said anxiously: "Yes, yes, senior, please drink some water."
Xu Yi took the tea cup and walked to the long table, looking at it and nodding.
Yang Mei stood aside nervously, not daring to disturb her.
Xu Yi took a sip of water, put down the tea cup, picked up a few semi-finished array plates and looked at them carefully, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
Although this was only a second-level array, Xu Yi saw something different from it.
The presence of these traces is not strong, and the technique is still very immature, but it may not be impossible to create a new genre when it grows up in the future.
"Did you come up with the formation pattern on this yourself?" Xu Yi asked with interest.
"Some of it I thought of, and some of it I learned from other places."
Yang Mei was also very excited.
She has sold formation disks several times, but none of the shopkeepers who collected them could tell the difference in her formation disks.
She is now more and more certain that Xu Yi is a formation cultivator, and a very accomplished formation cultivator.
"How old are you?" Xu Yi asked again.
Yang Tao replied obediently: "I am seventeen years old this year."
Seventeen years old, foundation-building cultivation, second-level formation cultivation.
Xu Yi combined this information and his eyes lit up. This was a good idea.
However, she did not express her thoughts immediately, and said to Yang Mei: "Can you take me to see that thing you mentioned before?"
"OK."
Yang Mei took Xu Yi to the innermost room, and then under Xu Yi's surprised gaze, she opened a secret door on the ground, revealing the passage below.
What surprised Xu Yi was not that there was a secret passage here, but that her consciousness scanned the room but could not see anything out of the ordinary, as if the secret passage was a figment of her imagination.
It wasn't until she and Yang Mei walked into the secret passage that she finally determined that there must be an ancient formation here that could isolate spiritual consciousness.
