The Daoist Xie mentioned by Zhou Yuntian is called Xie Yunhan. He is a middle-aged man who looks to be about forty years old. He is not tall and thin, and has a cultivation level of the seventh level of Yunhe.
Such a cultivation level and such an age undoubtedly indicate one thing. Xie Yunhan's cultivation qualifications are not high, and can even be said to be very poor.
There is a special kind of existence on the battlefield of Lingxi, which is called the veteran ninth level by the world. They have limited qualifications. After a spiritual aperture is opened to 180 orifices, it is difficult to make progress in cultivation. The monks are promoted to Yunhe
The minimum standard is to open two hundred and forty orifices and practice heaven-level skills, so these veteran nine-level realms have never been able to advance to Yunhe, and can only waste time at this level of the nine-level realm.
Generally speaking, although there will not be people with stagnant cultivation like the old nine-level ones on the Yunhe battlefield, there are also some faces of middle-aged people, but not many in number.
Xie Yunhan is undoubtedly one of them. He is the oldest in the entire Fox Fairy Valley, but his cultivation level is not the highest.
Under the leadership of Zhou Yuntian, he met Xie Yunhan and got to know each other. He learned that Lu Ye had practiced the formation method and was assigned to help him. Xie Yunhan was undoubtedly very happy because there were so many people in the Fox Immortal Valley and he was the only formation cultivator.
He had to arrange and maintain the formations alone. He was so busy every day that he was physically and mentally exhausted. If not for this, his cultivation level would not be only at the seventh level of Yunhe. The main reason is that he didn't have much time to practice on weekdays.
Lu Ye even met some gray-haired old men, all of whom were monks who were unable to open more spiritual apertures due to lack of talent.
It is rare that some very old monks appear on the Yunhe battlefield, because the cultivation of Yunhe realm monks can be done with the help of spiritual signs, which can quickly improve their cultivation. As long as a monk is not too unlucky and too lazy,
Cultivation can always be improved little by little.
However, just because it rarely occurs does not mean that it does not exist. Individual talents are different, and the speed of practice will naturally be different.
Lu Ye nodded: "Of course you can."
Xie Yunhan waved his hand: "Follow me." With that said, he led the way.
Search and read
In a short time, they arrived at the corner of the Fox Immortal Valley. Xie Yunhan pointed ahead and said: "There is a trap here, but it has been set up for some time. I am going to move it to another place. Fellow Daoist Lu, could you please clear this trap."
"
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist Lu will be left to you. He is new here and has a lot of things he doesn't understand. You need to help him a lot." Zhou Yuntian said.
After Zhou Yuntian left, Xie Yunhan looked Lu Ye up and down, his eyes filled with unconcealable joy. He obviously welcomed Lu Ye's arrival and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I want to test your attainments in the formation. Don't you think so?"
Would you mind."
The layout of this trap is not subtle, and the strength of the entire formation is not high. Even if you accidentally fall into it and get trapped, you can break it in a cup of tea with brute force.
And with his current attainments in the formation, it would be easy to dismantle this formation.
He pondered for a moment, pondering in his mind whether he should show his true ability or hide his clumsiness.
"Okay!" Lu Ye nodded, stepped forward, looked through his eyes blessed by spiritual patterns, and looked at the formation ahead.
Breaking the formation was so familiar to him, it was easier than asking him to set up the formation.
After a few breaths, he had a plan.
I am at the fourth level of Yunhe, and if it weren't for some special abilities, the fox demon might not even look at me.
If you want to kill the fox demon, you must first gain her respect and trust! Compared with this, the possibility of arousing Xie Yunhan's jealousy is nothing.
Having made up his mind, Lu Ye immediately took action.
If he reveals his true abilities, he is likely to arouse Xie Yunhan's disgust and jealousy. After all, he is the only formation cultivator in the entire Fox Fairy Valley, and he is highly valued by the fox demon. Once he shows that he has higher attainments than him in the formation path.
, Xie Yunhan's treatment will definitely be worse than before.
But in this way, he can take advantage of the situation and rise to the top, so that the fox demon will value him more and entrust him with important responsibilities, which will also facilitate some actions in the future.
When she met the fox demon yesterday, she was obviously most interested in Li Baxian because Li Baxian was famous and had great potential, followed by Xia Liang because Xia Liang was the strongest.
Looking through the pipe, Xie Yunhan vaguely noticed that Lu Ye's attainments in formations were quite extraordinary, but he could not tell much after only dismantling one formation. At that moment, Xie Yunhan took him around the Fox Immortal Valley.
Some formations need to be dismantled, some formations need to be strengthened and maintained, and some formations need to be rearranged in some places.
Under Xie Yunhan's instructions, Lu Ye completed each task meticulously and quickly.
In just twenty breaths of time, the trapped formation was perfectly cracked, and every formation flag was retrieved.
Xie Yunhan looked stunned and surprised: "Fellow Daoist Lu's attainments in the formation path seem to be very high?"
Although he arranged this formation himself, to be fair, even if he used it himself, the efficiency might not be as fast as Lu Ye's.
Instead of showing any resentment or disgust as Lu Ye had expected, Xie Yunhan was very happy. He pulled Lu Ye's arm and said, "You've got half a day to spare. Fellow Daoist Lu, let's go and have a drink with me."
Lu Ye would never refuse, so he could take this opportunity to improve their relationship and learn more about the situation in Fox Fairy Valley from Xie Yunhan.
As Xie Yunhan walked to the attic where he was, Xie Yunhan cooked a few side dishes himself, and dug out a jar from the open space behind the attic to store wine.
The work originally scheduled for the day was all completed by noon.
The surprise in Xie Yunhan's eyes became more and more intense. Before Lu Ye was sent to help him, he only thought that his future tasks would be easier. But now he found out that Lu Ye's attainments in the formation far surpassed his own.
Not only is it easy, it's like picking up a treasure.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became more harmonious, and the Taoist friend Lu in Xie Yunhan's mouth also became brother Lu. Although the two of them met for the first time, because of the secret technique planted by the fox demon, Xie Yunhan didn't have much respect for Lu Ye.
A defensive mind.
Basically, as Zhou Yuntian said before, as long as you enter the Fox Fairy Valley, everyone will be a family from now on.
The jar of fine wine was quickly drank up. Xie Yunhan stood up and said, "Brother Lu, wait a moment. I'll get another jar."
On the second floor of the attic, Xie Yunhan and Lu Ye sat across from each other, drinking and chatting.
Because of his second senior sister, Lu Ye seldom drinks alcohol, but with his cultivation to this level, as long as he doesn't drink too much, it won't have any effect on him.
He was not in a hurry to inquire about the situation in Fox Fairy Valley, and just casually chatted with Xie Yunhan.
Most of them were given to Li Baxian by him, and only a small part was kept by him. After all, it was useless for him to keep them in his hands.
He unsealed it, poured a bowl for Xie Yunhan, and poured half a bowl for himself.
Xie Yunhan picked it up and sniffed it gently, his eyes were intoxicated by the dew. He raised his head and drank it clean. He closed his eyes and tasted it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Yunzhou's Qionghua wine is still so sweet."
Lu Ye hurriedly said: "Brother Xie, I have it here, don't bother."
Saying this, he took out several jars of different wines from his storage space.
He himself does not drink, but he has killed so many monks from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, and many of them are good drinkers. There are always some drinks from Kyushu in his storage bag, and they have become his trophies.
Xie Yunhan smiled: "Ignore Bingzhou and Yunzhou, when we get here, we are a family."
"Yes, thank you brother."
Make another big bowl.
"Brother Xie likes to drink, so drink more." Lu Ye raised his hand and filled it for him again, and asked casually, "Brother Xie is from Yunzhou?"
"Yes, Mr. Xie is from Yunzhou." A look of memory appeared in Xie Yunhan's eyes, "Xie's favorite thing back then was Qionghua Brewing. Is Brother Lu also from Yunzhou?"
Lu Ye said: "I am from Bingzhou."
I really want to ask him what he has been busy with in the past twelve years, and why he only has the seventh-level cultivation of Yunhe.
Xie Yunhan seemed to have remembered something again, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's been twelve years, and I see people coming and going in the valley. A new generation replaces an old one, hey!"
"Is there anyone in this valley who has been here longer than Brother Xie?" Lu Ye asked.
While pouring the wine, Lu Ye said casually: "Brother Xie, I just came here, so I don't understand many things in the valley. It seems that brother Xie has been here for a long time. If I do something wrong in the future, I hope you can
Thanks for your advice, brother."
Xie Yunhan took a chopstick of vegetables and said proudly while eating: "Don't worry, brother, you and I work as colleagues and have similar temperaments. Xie will take care of you in the future. I dare not tell others, what are the taboos in this Fox Fairy Valley?
, no one in the valley knows it better than me, after all, Xie has been here for twelve years."
Twelve years... Lu Ye's eyes twitched.
He said this, so Lu Ye didn't want to ask any more questions, lest he arouse others' vigilance, so he immediately raised the big bowl: "Thank you, brother, I will respect you again."
After drinking from noon to evening, Lu Ye didn't find out much from Xie Yunhan, but what he learned now confirmed his previous guesses. There must be something hidden in this seemingly peaceful and peaceful Fox Fairy Valley.
Invisible crisis, this crisis will cause people with higher cultivation levels to die faster.
Xie Yunhan chuckled, shook his head and said: "No way, basically people come here for a year or two at most..." At this point, he suddenly sobered up a lot, stopped talking, and whispered: "No matter what, you
As a formation cultivator, I am an indispensable talent for your superiors and subordinates, so safety is guaranteed. Another point, brother Lu, don’t improve your cultivation too fast, remember that!"
"Why is this?" Lu Ye vaguely felt as if he had touched some secret. Listening to Xie Yunhan's words, it seemed that if his cultivation was too high, he would encounter some danger.
Xie Yunhan did not explain, but just said: "Listen to me, there have been many geniuses in the valley in recent years, and their cultivation has improved rapidly, but so what, haven't they all turned into a handful of loess now?
On the contrary, it is Xie who lives to this day."
