The next morning, Lin Xuan got up early, and together with other foreign monks, under the leadership of the "Cyclamen" shopkeeper, left the town and went straight to Tianmu Mountain.
Although there was no royal weapon flying, it only took half an hour to reach the foot of the main peak.
Lin Xuan took a look at the people traveling with him, and found that there were nearly two hundred of them. Among them, casual cultivators like himself only accounted for a small number, and most of them were cultivators from sects or families.
Moreover, there are actually about one-third of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Haha, brother, are you here to attend the trade fair too?"
A clear voice came to my ears, but the content of what was said was pure nonsense. It was obvious that I wanted to strike up a conversation!
Lin Xuan turned around and saw a young man in a white shirt. He was about 20 years old. He had bright eyebrows and a tall and handsome appearance. At first glance, he was from a wealthy family. However, his expression was a little restrained. He probably rarely went out.
kind.
"Um!"
Lin Xuan nodded. This young man looked a year or two younger than himself, but his cultivation had actually reached the foundation-building stage, which really surprised him.
There is no other reason. This is a special situation like mine. Looking at the world, who can regard the magic pill as a sugar pill? Not even the descendants of the old monster in the Nascent Soul stage can do this.
Without the help of medicine, if you want to successfully build a foundation within the age of thirty, as far as Lin Xuan knows, there are only a few geniuses. What is the origin of the person in front of you?
Although he was curious, Lin Xuan didn't want to cause trouble. He just wanted to buy Wanxiangcao during his trip, so he just said a faint "hmm" and ignored the person behind him.
"Haha, I don't know, my dear brother, your surname is Tian, and my younger brother's surname is Tian Xiaojian. He is a casual cultivator. Brother, would you like to go with me?"
Loose cultivator?
Lin Xuan sneered in his heart. He didn't know if the other party was pretending to be stupid on purpose, or if he had some agenda for him. He looked like a casual cultivator in this way. Apart from anything else, the folding fan in this kid's hand didn't look like it at first glance.
Although Lin Xuan didn't know its specific function as an ordinary item, it was definitely a valuable treasure.
When did the casual cultivators in Youzhou’s cultivation world become so wealthy?
While thinking about it in his mind, Lin Xuan remained calm on the surface and said with a smile: "That's very good. I'll call you Lin Xuan."
It's not like I made up a false name. Anyway, there are only a few people who know me, not to mention there are many people with the same name and surname in the world.
Seeing Lin Xuan nodding in agreement, the young man suddenly beamed with joy: "That's great. Finally, someone is willing to make friends with me."
"Why, didn't I have any friends before?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and pretended to be casual.
"Haha, to be honest with you, brother, although I have come into contact with a lot of monks before, most of them are juniors or subordinates of my family. They all speak respectfully, which is really boring."
"..."
Lin Xuan was speechless. Just now, this man said that he was a casual cultivator. Now some subordinate showed up. The preface and the follower were inconsistent. This lie was too bad.
Tian Xiaojian just didn't have much experience in dealing with things, and he wasn't stupid at all. As soon as he said these words, he immediately knew that something was going to happen, his face turned red, and he glanced at Lin Xuan.
I lied to my face like this. I was afraid that the other person would walk away and the first friend I made would be ruined again.
"Haha, little brother, don't mind. You must be a child of a certain family, and you ran away because you couldn't stand the control of your family. Lin has seen this kind of situation quite a lot, so you don't need to take that little lie to heart." Lin Xuan said calmly.
Smile and say it nonchalantly.
"Haha. Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother!"
But Tian Xiaojian felt like he was being pardoned. His affection for Lin Xuan increased greatly: "I didn't expect that my elder brother is not only highly skilled, but also has such a broad mind. I am determined to make you my friend."
"My cultivation level is nothing. Those fellow Taoists next to me are much deeper."
At this time, Lin Xuan was relieved. This boy's speech and behavior seemed too clumsy, and he didn't look like he was scheming. He probably didn't have any ill intentions towards him, as he was just a member of a family.
"Humph, who are those people?"
Tian Xiaojian glanced at the cultivators next to him. Even though they were two masters in the fake elixir realm, he didn't seem to pay any attention to them.
Lin Xuan's pupils shrank slightly. He had definitely seen it right. At that moment, this kid actually released a wave of...
Although he quickly disappeared, he was still noticed by Lin Xuan.
"Why, do you think I look down on those fellow Taoists?" Lin Xuan said lightly.
"How could it be? I just don't want to talk to those people anymore. They are much older than us. They are all old-fashioned and have no meaning at all." Tian Xiaojian said with a sad expression.
"That's true, but it's not difficult for me to make friends. We just need to find some monks who are similar to us..."
"Brother, what you said is wrong. It's not like you don't know that in our world of cultivation, everything is about strength. I am not talented, but I also stepped into the realm of foundation building half a year ago. Tian Xiaojian showed a proud expression on his face:"
But most of the monks of our age are still lingering in the agility stage. My younger brother doesn’t pay attention to these things and is willing to bend over backwards, but the other party talks about seniors, which makes me feel uncomfortable all over. "
Tian Xiaojian sighed, but soon he raised his head very happily: "It's not easy for me to meet a big brother like you, who is of similar age and has successfully built the foundation. But is he really a casual cultivator?
As far as I know, the realm of casual cultivators is relatively low, let alone being able to step into the realm of foundation building at such a young age." After Tian Xiaojian said this, his expression became more doubtful.
"I'm just lucky. In my early years, I happened to take a different kind of fairy fruit, and my cultivation level increased inexplicably. Otherwise, I would probably only be around the fifth or sixth level of the spiritual stage now."
What Lin Xuan said is definitely the best excuse. Anyway, there has always been such a legend in the world of cultivation for tens of thousands of years. Of course, it is impossible to know whether it is true or false, but many cultivators believe in it.
Tian Xiaojian's eyes also flashed with a hint of envy: "I see, I didn't expect that my eldest brother would have such a good fortune. That's just luck."
…
The two were chatting when suddenly the thick fog at the foot of the mountain surged violently, and the spiritual energy nearby fluctuated violently as if it was being pulled by something.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the monks next to him also whispered in groups.
"It's the Sea of Clouds Splitting Light Formation in Tianmu Mountain!"
"Sea of Clouds Splitting Light Array?" Lin Xuan turned his head and glanced at Tian Xiaojian: "Do you know me?"
"How is that possible? I just happened to have heard of it." Looking at the rolling fog in front of him, Tian Xiaojian seemed a little absent-minded, as if he was answering Lin Xuan's question and mumbling to himself; "This
The Sea of Clouds Splitting Light Formation is said to be a forbidden technique arranged by the founder of the Tianmu Sect thousands of years ago. This formation relies on the spiritual veins under the foot of the mountain and can mobilize all the spiritual energy in the interior for dozens of miles. It is extremely powerful. If used properly,
Can it even trap a Nascent Soul Stage monk?"
"What, trapping a Yuanying-stage monk?" Lin Xuan couldn't help but be moved: "I'm afraid I'm mistaken. The Yuanying-stage seniors have great magical powers and can move mountains and fill seas with just a few moves. How can we be trapped in a building?"
A small ground formation?"
"Haha, I'm not mistaken. I must be practicing hard and don't know much about the outside world." Tian Xiaojian returned to his normal expression: "I don't have any other hobbies, but I like to collect anecdotes and read books. For
I know a little bit about what each sect is famous for, and I think my eldest brother also knows that every sect, even a slightly larger cultivation family, will set up a sect-protecting formation at its main altar."
Lin Xuan nodded. He had worked hard to understand the formations. There are two types of formations. One is for individual cultivators like himself to trap enemies or protect caves. As long as there are
The formation disk can be manipulated by one person. Relatively speaking, this formation method is relatively simple and slightly less powerful, but its advantage is also obvious, that is, it is easy to use.
The other type has a complex structure and usually requires several, dozens, or even hundreds of people to operate it. This formation is extremely powerful, but it has a big shortcoming. Once it is deployed, it cannot be dismantled. This point,
It's a bit like a simplified version of the array talisman. Of course, the power of the two is not the same.
According to its characteristics, this formation is usually used as a large formation to protect the main altar of the sect. After all, as long as a sect determines where to take root, it is impossible to relocate without extremely important reasons.
, then the disadvantage that this array cannot be dismantled after it is deployed will no longer exist.
Although formations are rare, and cultivators who are proficient in this art are even rarer than alchemists, with the power of a sect, hundreds or even thousands of years of effort, and a large amount of money spent, a good formation will definitely be found in the end.
It is used to protect the mountain gate.
And usually, the stronger the sect, the more powerful the protective formation it sets up.
