Chapter 67: Painful Four Phases Gathering Spirit Defense Array
After standing still for a while, Gongliang came back to his senses and said, "Elder, I didn't expect that your Tiangongyuan could actually command the gods?"
"Hahaha"
The elder smiled and said: "If it were those innate gods with supreme divine power in ancient times, we would naturally not dare to do so, but now the gods in the sect are just the cultivation of the sect's deceased disciples, or else they are the ghosts and gods enshrined by the sect. Why not?
?
However, recruiting him to come here is not a free service. He also needs to be paid, otherwise who will help.
Don’t think that ghosts and gods can be summoned at will, things must be mutually beneficial.”
Hearing this, Gong Liang understood clearly that the gods in the Miaodao Immortal Sect were not aloof beings. They were equivalent to managers, responsible for the affairs of mountains and rivers. Ao Qi, for example, was responsible for the management of Wangyuan River.
Looking at the ever-increasing city wall, Gong Liang was a little worried and said: "Elder, your city wall won't shrink back in the future!"
"How can it be?"
The elder stared as if he heard something ridiculous and said: "This city wall material is made by my Tiangongyuan disciples who spent countless efforts to refine it. It is as strong as gold and stone, as solid as gold, and unbreakable. It can be regarded as a magic weapon."
.Although it is rough, it still has some power. How could it be so ineffective?
Look at those four towers, they are where the formation is.
Once activated, spiritual energy will gather from all around.
When the time comes, the formation absorbs spiritual energy and circulates continuously. It can provide you with spiritual energy for cultivation and nourish the land without consuming spiritual stones. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes with one stone.
Not only that, I will also connect this formation to the sect's formation. Once a beast or bird that exceeds the power of the formation comes to attack, it will trigger a bombardment from the sect's formation.
I have spent countless efforts and material resources on this city wall and formation, but the little you gave me a few days ago was not enough."
I don’t know why, but the elder’s face turned slightly red when he said this, but Gongliang didn’t notice it.
The elder was also helpless. Last time he took the reward from Gongliang and showed it around. As a result, a group of friends snatched most of it away, leaving only a pitiful amount, which was not enough at all. It was not easy to blatantly increase construction funds, so he had to use them all.
Only when you work hard to build the valley well can you add more money.
"I wonder how much more is needed?" Gongliang asked.
The elder said cautiously: "Originally, the word 'greed' is the most taboo among cultivators, but this time it cost a lot of money to build, so I have to add more. For Xianchu's sake, I think you will be able to benefit from the same thing as last time."
One portion! But the Tianxiang Muxin costs ten squares. Don’t worry, what I created will definitely be worth the money.”
Needless to say, Gongliang felt it was worth the price just by looking at the tall walls surrounding the valley.
So, he took out ten drops of innate liquid, twenty drops of fire spirit pulp, ten green mulberry fruits, a hundred catties of five-color rice, and ten squares of heavenly fragrant wood hearts from the space.
When everyone at Tiangongyuan who was working above saw what Gong Liang had taken out, their hands speeded up a bit.
Because they also have their share of the rewards.
The elder put away his things. He didn't know whether he felt embarrassed or wanted to make Gongliang feel that the things he built were worth the money. He pointed at the towering city wall and said: "Look at the four gate towers in the southeast, southeast and northwest.
I have a specially built room for you to live in. From a high position, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of my wonderful immortal sect. Then, wouldn’t it be wonderful to see the sunset in the west, the morning sun in the east, the flying cliffs in the sky in the north, and the sea of clouds on the peak in the south.”
Gong Liang looked at the city wall that had stopped stretching, and when he thought of that scene, he yearned for it.
When the elder saw that the city wall was built, he said, "Come on, I will take you up and have a look."
With a casual sweep, Gong Liang and Mi Gu were brought to the tower together by him.
After those people built the city wall, they flew into the valley, stood up in the sky, and released streams of flames to burn the weeds in the valley. The flames were blazing for a while, and thick smoke shot straight into the sky. Some of them built nests in the weeds, or there were birds and animals hiding in them.
They fled one after another and ran towards the nearby mountain peaks.
Gongliang looked around, looking at the mountain peaks surrounded by the city wall, and said in surprise: "Sir, does this city wall encircle the land too much?"
His original idea was to enclose the valley and a mountain peak surrounding the southeast, north and south sides of the valley.
But now the Tiangongyuan is surrounded by more than just one building, it is clearly a large area.
The elder said: "It's the same size anyway, so it's better to surround it with more space to raise things. Old Man Ji didn't have this condition before, so why don't you surround it with more space now? The sect won't want anything from you? Then you can
You can farm in the valley, grow fruits on the mountainside, and raise animals and poultry in the forest. This income alone is enough for your cultivation, and you don't have to hunt hard and look for opportunities everywhere like other people."
Although Gongliang knew what he said was reasonable, it sounded strange, as if he came to Miaodao Xianzong to be a farmer or breeder.
After everyone in Tiangongyuan, which was located above the valley, set fire to the weeds in the valley, they then used magic to plow the ground and push down the ashes.
Someone else dug a ditch from the edge of Lingquan to the mouth of the valley, so that the entire valley and fields were nourished by the waters of Lingquan.
The elder saw the actions of everyone in Tiangongyuan from above, nodded with satisfaction, turned to Gong Liang and said: "In the future, this ditch can be used to raise fish and shrimps. All spiritual things will be bought by people in the sect.
The stone is not cheap.”
"Thank you, elder, for your advice."
After a while, everyone in Tiangongyuan plowed the spiritual field and dug the ditch.
Seeing this, the elder took Gongliang into the city gate tower and pressed on the floor tiles engraved with beautiful patterns in the middle of the lobby.
The floor tiles fell down, and a beast-swallowing tripod rose up.
"The name of this formation is the 'Four-Phase Spirit Gathering Defense Array'. It must be opened with four kinds of spirit stones: earth, water, fire, and wind. I have prepared the spirit stones to activate the array, but I have to explain something in advance.
.”
"Say, elder."
"This low-grade spiritual stone that activates the formation is a gift from me, but in this way, the formation cannot reach the supreme state. If you want the formation to be perfect, you need to consume higher-grade spiritual stones, such as mid-grade
, top grade, or spiritual marrow. However, it costs a lot of money, and our Tiangong Institute cannot give it away. You need to find the spiritual stone yourself, or exchange it with me."
Gongliang didn't expect this to happen, so he couldn't help but ask: "If I exchange it with you, how should I exchange it?"
"It depends on what you change."
"Where's the spiritual marrow?" Since it needs to be replaced, Gongliang naturally wants to use the best one.
"You have to get something good to exchange for it. Ordinary things cannot be exchanged for spiritual essence." The elder said, stroking the white beard under his chin.
Hearing this, Gong Liang thought for a while and took out a jar of spirit snake wine, "Elder, look, this is a thousand-year spirit snake wine, which can be exchanged for a piece of spiritual marrow."
The elder opened the seal and smelled it. A stream of pure spiritual energy and mellow aroma of wine floated out from it. He almost drooled with greed. He quickly sealed the seal and said: "Although this Thousand-Year Snake Wine is good, this is the only jar."
I just want to exchange for a spiritual marrow, but that’s not enough.”
Gongliang took out another hundred jars of spirit snake wine and said, "What if we add these hundred jars of spirit snake wine?"
The elder checked it, nodded and said, "You can replace it with one."
To be honest, it would make Gongliang feel heartbroken to exchange these hard-earned snake wine for a piece of spiritual marrow.
If it weren't for the spiritual marrow he had obtained before being fused together to form the source of the spiritual spring in space, he would have wanted to cut some directly from the spiritual marrow of the twins Shuangzhi and use it.
Gongliang thought for a moment, and then took out a string of beads made from the heart of Tianxiang wood.
This bead is not like the Tianxiang wood hearts that he used to trade before, but is made from the oldest Tianxiang wood hearts obtained from the Snake Department. As soon as it is taken out, an elegant and timeless mellow fragrance wafts out from it, making it...
People seem to be practicing Taoism in the deep mountains, untainted by worldly things, so leisurely, comfortable and tranquil.
"Needless to say, I'll exchange this bracelet for you."
When the elder smelled the fragrance, he grabbed it and put it into his sleeve without Gongliang opening his mouth.
Gongliang's heart aches terribly. You must know that there are really not many beads made from the heart of fragrant wood today.
You really can't exchange it for anything in the future, it's not worth it.
There were many things that could be exchanged for the space, but he was reluctant to part with it. After thinking about it, he asked: "Sir, how about using green mulberry fruit in exchange?"
"Green mulberry fruit? That's fine. Three hundred for one."
Green mulberry fruits are something that can grow again. Gongliang didn't feel any distress at all and took them out immediately. I don't know how many elixirs can be made from these green mulberry fruits, and they can be exchanged for countless things once they are changed hands. The elder felt that this business was a good deal.
.
He had already replaced three spiritual marrows, but Gongliang really didn't want to use his collection of items to replace them, because every time he took out an item, he felt the pain of cutting flesh.
Therefore, he planned to exchange it for some items that were abundant in the space, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have nothing suitable to exchange for spiritual essence.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. When they were in the temple, those Eastern people were willing to fight to the death for blood copper. I thought it would be very useful to them.
So Gongliang took out a blood copper ingot.
"Blood Copper Essence." The elder exclaimed.
Everyone in the Tiangongyuan next to him was even more stunned. Some were afraid that the old man would not change, so they boldly stepped forward to pull his sleeves.
Gongliang felt that he had made the right move.
"Changed."
The elder waved his hand and put away the blood copper ingot, took out three spiritual essences and handed them to the three people next to him, asking them to put the spiritual essences on the three gate towers in the southeast and north, and prepare to activate the formation.
When Gongliang saw the spiritual essence, which was only the size of a baby's fist, he was dissatisfied and said, "Why is it so small?"
"How much do you want to have? It's already good to have so much spiritual essence. What else do you want?" the elder said angrily.
Gongliang himself had obtained several pieces of spiritual marrow, so he did not take this thing seriously. However, in the populous Eastern Land, there were so many practitioners and so many spiritual energy that they breathed in and out. As a result, the spiritual marrow that could contain spiritual stones was very rare.
Otherwise, the elder would not ask Gongliang to exchange so many things.
After a while, the three of them returned after putting away their spiritual essence.
The elder took out a piece of spiritual marrow from his sleeve and put it into the beast-swallowing cauldron. Then he flew up and floated above the valley, spinning with his hands in a mysterious formula.
In an instant, huge light pillars rose up from the four city gate towers in the southeast, northwest, and crossed over the valley. A light shield stretched out to both sides, shrouding the valley.
