After the flying saucer captured the entire sect, I became very popular among the stars.

Taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, Chu Yao locked the door and sat quietly on the bed, trying to practice the spirit preservation technique.

Although the threshold for starting the Spirit Preservation Technique is the foundation building stage, the techniques on how to leverage spiritual power should also be available during the Qi Refining Stage.

But this time, he was not as lucky as before. No matter how he understood the thoughts, there was no fluctuation in his body.

The physical condition now is different from when he was first captured on the spacecraft. Although the cultivation base was sealed at that time, the spiritual power was still there, but now the Dantian is empty.

Chu Yao knew that he had acted too hastily. How do I know whether Taoism can have the same effect as before in this unknown land far away from my homeland?

Furthermore, there are still two opinions on whether there is spiritual power here.

She had previously fallen into a fixed mindset and thought that this place was as full of spiritual energy as the Feng Yuan Star. But the actual situation is probably that there is no spiritual energy at all here, and it is a bad land for cultivators.

For the monks who survived on the spacecraft, getting rid of their inherent thinking and being cautious and reflective at all times may be the greatest wealth they gain.

It's impossible for me to dig here for the rest of my life, I have to find a way to leave. The key to leaving is to restore your cultivation, so that you can get rid of the slave ring and resist those powerful heavenly weapons.

The key to restoring cultivation is spiritual power. Find a way to replenish your spiritual power!

Beyond that, you also need to know more about everything in this world.

There is so little information available. She is now like a farmer who has just entered the city, knowing nothing and seeing everything new.

Spaceships, golden light, black mirrors, weapons... Only by thoroughly understanding what these powers are can we have the possibility to control them in the future.

The decision was made, and Chu Yao's mind calmed down.

She suddenly thought of something, jumped out of bed, stood in a strange posture, and chanted the chant.

Not long after, Chu Yao felt a tingling and translucent coldness in his upper body. Chu Yao beamed with joy, knowing that he had succeeded.

This is exactly the "ghost-seeking technique" she once tried on the spaceship. At that time, they were captured in the sky. Now they have returned to the earth, and they have succeeded in one fell swoop.

She has no cultivation now, so she cannot see the true form of the "ghost", but the familiar cold feeling is definitely unmistakable.

The teachings of ghosts are extensive and profound. Broadly speaking, ghosts in the world can be roughly divided into three types: heaven, earth and humans:

When the body dies but the soul fails to enter reincarnation for some reason, it is called a human ghost; when a man-made object is made by condensing ghost energy through magic, it is called a ghost on earth; when the time and place are favorable and is nurtured and evolved in the dead land, it is called a heaven ghost.

There is no distinction between these three types of ghosts. Since Gein has become a ghost, his three souls and seven souls must not be complete. In other words, there is a sense of autonomy, but it is messy and only a resentment or obsession can survive in the world. But if the obsession is too deep, or if you receive some kind of blessing, you will turn into a powerful ghost, able to consciously devour other ghosts to strengthen yourself, and even cultivate Taoism.

The person Chu Yao summoned just now should be a kind of human ghost. It's a pity that it can be summoned but cannot be driven away. Without cultivation, it is all in vain.

But this is also a valuable attempt. The success of the technique at least shows that Lingyuan Star and Feng Yuan Star are similar to a certain extent.

Since the art of summoning ghosts is feasible, there must be other side tricks that do not require spiritual power.

Chu Yao's mind was racing, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Along the way of cultivation, there are thousands of ways and methods, including alchemy, weapon making, talisman formations, and any one of them is complicated and overwhelming.

Wait, the formation...maybe possible!

Although she has dabbled in formations, she is not proficient in them.

But it's okay, she doesn't understand, there are others who do.

Senior Sister Bai Yuejian, as the person with the highest cultivation level in Tianyin Sect, is not only strong in strength, but also has made great achievements in the field of formations. For example, the power of Tianyin Sect's sect-protecting formation increased by as much as 10% due to her improvements.

Don't underestimate this success. The Tianyin Sect's protective formation was created by the first generation of the sect. It has stood with the sect for thousands of years. The number of people who can improve it can be counted on one hand, which is enough to prove her accomplishments in the formation. .

Chu Yao got out of bed and ran towards the hut where the senior sister was.

The two people live not far apart. Each room has a number, which is also their name tag in this mine. Chu Yao's is 43, Bai Yuejian's is 49, and there are five huts in between.

Chu Yao knocked at the door, heard the greeting from the senior sister, opened the door and walked in. As a result, the moment I entered the house, I saw a strong wind in front of me, and I seemed to have walked into the fog!

The next second, everything in front of him changed back to the original state. The senior sister was sitting cross-legged on the bed and looking at Chu Yao with a smile.

"Senior sister, this is..." Chu Yao's eyes lit up, and then he saw small pieces of gravel under his feet.

The rubble is placed according to a certain pattern, horizontally or vertically, orderly in chaos, and it looks like a small formation at first glance.

"Little Lost Formation." Senior Sister Bai said.

"I just wanted to ask about the formation, and as expected, senior sister, you have already started trying it. In addition to the small missing formation, how about other formations?"

The senior sister shook her head:

"I have also thought about some other basic formations, such as the Spirit Gathering Formation, the Pure Heart Formation... but they are not as simple as the Lost Formation. They either require specified materials, spiritual stones or communication spiritual energy. These conditions are now all It can’t be achieved. This is true even for small formations, let alone more powerful formations.”

"But I have other ideas. Since the Lost Array is feasible, maybe it can be improved..."

"I knew you were the most powerful, senior sister!"

"Come on," the senior sister smiled and pinched Chu Yao's face, "Where are you?"

Chu Yao thought for a moment and then told the story about the Soul Preservation Technique.

There is nothing to hide. The Soul Preservation Technique is useless to her right now. She might as well give it to her senior sister to learn more about it. Maybe they can make a breakthrough if they work together.

Now as a prisoner slave, isolated and helpless, with all his cultivation lost and reduced to a mortal, the best way is to unite as one, as one more person means more strength.

Moreover, she can trust her senior sister. Apart from his long-dead master and parents, senior sister is the closest person to Chu Yao in the world.

"This spirit-preserving technique seems plain and simple, but I always feel that there is a mystery behind the words, and it is not as simple as it seems. Don't give up yet, it might come in handy in the future. But your method of summoning ghosts, please tell me carefully Come and listen to me.”

Chu Yao explained it in detail. The more Senior Sister Bai listened, the brighter her eyes became.

"Okay, okay. In this way, this little lost formation can add a lot of changes. I want to try it."

Senior sister is good at everything, but as soon as she starts studying formations, she forgets to eat and sleep, and spends her days and nights in confusion.

Chu Yao stuck out his tongue, turned around and walked out of the room. Then he rolled his eyes and started wandering around the prison slave's residence.

She has never been the kind of ascetic monk who has closed the door and stayed in seclusion for hundreds of years, and she will never sit still and wait for death.

Most of the wooden houses had their doors closed, but many slaves came out of their rooms and gathered outside in twos and threes, chatting and communicating with each other.

Chu Yao jumped around and became familiar with everyone he met. Occasionally he walked over to interject a few words and took a look around the place.

The courtyard where the chief lived was in the west, the place where slaves were housed was in the east, the mine was in the north, and the gate was in the south. There is a guard tower in each of the east, south and west directions, monitoring all directions day and night.

The shelter's wooden houses are arranged vertically from north to south, with twenty rooms in one column, totaling twelve columns and two hundred and forty rooms. There are about one hundred new slaves, plus those who have been imprisoned before, there are exactly two hundred and forty. ten people.

"So we filled the previous vacancy. So where did the original more than 100 people go?"

"Beauty, are you kidding us? What good can happen to a slave!" A big man beat his chest in front of Chu Yao and kept saying things like "I was wronged".

"Okay, okay, I understand. So what can I do? Do you think I just want to come in? Just wish yourself well." The person who was entangled said impatiently.

"The best outcome is to be bought away, and you have to pray that the person who bought you is a kind-hearted family. If you manage to escape, you will be worse than a mining slave in the end."

"I don't want to be a slave in the mines..." Brother Wong cried until he cried.

"You think you are a big man, can you be stronger?"

"Be strong ass! In this world, wearing a slave ring is worse than a pig! Now we have porridge and biscuits waiting for us. In a few days, do you think that guy named Zou will care about our life and death?"

Brother Wong's words silenced everyone. Many people looked confused and sighed repeatedly.

In the midst of such buzzing conversations, a huge civilization gradually unveiled its mysterious veil in front of Chu Yao.

In the vast sea of ​​​​stars, there is a galaxy called "Dragon Land", and the heavenly beings are the masters of Dragon Land.

The Celestials established a glorious civilization in Longdi. They advocated the power called "technology" and advocated adventure and conquest. With the help of technology, they built spaceships and warships that could soar in the universe. They continued to expand outwards with overwhelming technology and weapons, and expeditions to the star sea.

The "Konghai" where everyone is now is the new galaxy discovered by the Celestial Civilization. Because there are many planets and rich resources, they are planned as new development areas, and some companies are responsible for the development tasks of these planets.

These companies obey the orders of the higher-level "Interstellar Development Administration", but they have great freedom in the management of their subordinate planets. On Lingyuan Star, Ari Company is the supreme king.

In the civilization of Heaven and Man, everyone is equal, that being said, except for one group of people, and that is the slaves.

The moment you put on the slave ring, you are downgraded from a "person" to a slave, and become an "object" that can be slaughtered by others.

Those who become slaves are either alien barbarians from the defeated star, or prisoners who have committed serious crimes. They have no people and can be purchased at will, either as laborers or as playthings of the rich, with almost no good end.

There is a proverb in Longdi: "It is better to be a ghost under the sword than a slave to the ring."

The meaning is very simple, that is, I would rather be hacked to death than become a slave and be eaten by mermaids. It is enough to prove the tragic fate and cruel life of slaves.

Chu Yao felt dizzy after receiving too much information at once. He only regretted that he had no spiritual power, otherwise it would have been much more convenient to just use the soul search technique.

"So this, this General Administration of Interstellar Development Affairs is the highest-ranking person among heavenly beings?"

"How can it be."

Brother Wongfeng saw that Chu Yao didn’t understand anything and only thought she was a young alien barbarian, so he didn’t hesitate to speak.

"The Interstellar General Administration is only responsible for development-related matters. The highest level you mentioned should be the Grand Council."

"Grand Council?"

Ah, my head feels so itchy, it feels like it's about to grow a brain.

"Well, it is divided into the upper house and the lower house. This is much more complicated to talk about. Little sister, why don't you give me two cigarettes and I will explain it to you in detail."

Chu Yao naturally understood what this person meant, and she had gradually become familiar with the situation here.

The common currency of the Celestial Clan is a kind of paper currency, with yuan as the unit. But in this mining camp, money is of no use, cigarettes are the hard currency.

Prison slaves traded cigarettes privately in exchange for things that were useful to them, such as soap, cloth, and so on.

"I'll tell you later, thank you, Brother Wong."

Chu Yao skipped away, leaving Brother Wong with a confused look on his face and scratching his head. Why did he get an extra nickname?

She learned a lot of things today, and she needed to sort them out carefully so that she could tell them to her senior sister later.

She also knew what the so-called "Flying Sword" meant. It was a scornful name for cultivators like herself. In the eyes of heaven and man, cultivators were classified as barbarians and were corrupt and backward things.

Chu Yao was vaguely confused and felt that something was wrong.

Since heavenly beings do not practice cultivation but only study technology, why are their technologies so targeted at cultivators?
