Mortal Cultivation: Immortality begins with the Spirit Gathering Array!

Deep in the mine, it was pitch black.

With the light emitted by the luminous stone, Su Ming looked at the stone wall in front of him with cold eyes, and raised his hand to cast a soundproofing note behind him.

The talisman ignited without wind, and a translucent soundproofing ban emerged.

After ensuring that the movement in the mine would not be transmitted to the outside, Su Ming pinched his fingers with one hand, and the water divider emitting a faint blue halo was injected with magic power and expanded to about ten feet, and smashed it hard at the stone wall in front of him.

After a muffled rumble, the stone wall in front of him collapsed directly under the power of the top-grade magic weapon water divider, like a tofu dregs project, revealing a dark hole.

Su Ming scanned the inside of the cave with his spiritual sense, and found that there was no living creature. He walked into the cave with the luminous stone, and walked towards the weakest point of the golden evil spirit with a clear goal.

"A first-level, medium-grade formation, the Blazing Flame Formation, which takes a quarter of an hour to analyze..."

Two mysterious patterns appeared in the depths of Su Ming's eyes, and Luo Shu began to analyze the formation in front of him.

The effect, grade, formation method, and time required for analysis of this formation all appeared in Su Ming's mind.

There was no need to directly contact the Blazing Flame Formation that was set up by someone in front of him. Su Ming stood outside this small formation and began to analyze it through Luo Shu.

As long as it was thoroughly analyzed and recorded by Luo Shu, Su Ming would be able to know what the purpose of this formation was, and the purpose of the person who set up the formation would naturally be known.

After a quarter of an hour, the Luo Shu pattern in Su Ming's eyes disappeared, and fear and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Breaking the formation with the formation, what a wonderful formation method..."

"The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining. The Earth Evil Formation is a dual-system earth and gold formation. The earth evil energy in the black copper mine is endless, but the gold evil energy is relatively less. The Earth Evil Formation uses the earth evil to strengthen the gold evil, so that the two can reach a delicate balance, and use the gold and earth evil energy to resist foreign enemies..."

"The person who set up the formation set up the Scorching Flame Formation in the place where the gold evil energy is weak. This formation is usually used for alchemy and refining. It is not powerful, but it wins in stability. The gold evil energy used to silently erode the Earth Evil Formation here is just..."

"The formation The person who set up the formation is much better than me in formation art, and he can make this formation completely not affect the normal operation of the Earthly Evil Formation. However, once the back-up of the Scorching Flame Formation is activated, the fire generated by this formation can completely dissipate the Golden Evil Air in the north of the mine in a short time. At that time, the person who set up the formation can easily break the formation from here..."

"The person who set up the formation is probably a second-level formation master, or even a second-level middle-grade one, so that the formation can control the token without any abnormality..."

With Su Ming's attainments in formation art, if it were not for the help of the River Map and Luo Shu, and he thoroughly analyzed the Earthly Evil Formation of the Black Copper Mine, he would never have been able to find the abnormality here.

"According to the analysis of the Luo Shu, this formation has been set up for a long time, more than two years, and it is impossible that it was set up by Senior Brother Chang Yun and others, and they have no reason to betray the sect..."

Thinking of this, Su Ming raised his hand and waved it, without affecting the operation of the Scorching Flame Formation, he brushed away all the soil on the ground in front of him, and what came into view was a well-refined red formation diagram.

In addition to the formation diagram, Su Ming also found several hidden formation flags and pre-buried spirit stones around.

Picking up the spirit stones, Su Ming determined that this formation had been set up in the black copper mine for a long time, and someone had specially replaced the spirit stones for it every once in a while according to the degree of spirit stone consumption.

Unless it was set up on the spirit vein like the Earthly Evil Formation, most small formations set up with formation diagrams need to use spirit stones to maintain the operation of the formation.

Someone who stayed in the black copper mine all year round, had the ability to avoid everyone's sight, and went to the mine cave that the stationed disciples would not enter every once in a while to replenish the spirit stones for the scorching flame formation?

"He Jie!"

Su Ming's mind suddenly emerged with this ferocious-looking but extremely humble He family collateral child.

According to Su Ming's understanding, He Jie has been stationed in the black copper mine for more than ten years, and his familiarity with the black copper mine here is far greater than everyone else.

The other party is also a cultivator, and it is not too easy to avoid the sight of these miners and enter the mine cave, and even avoid the sight of the stationed disciples of Guiyuan Sect, which is also very easy for He Jie.

After all, the garrison disciples who came here only care about the daily output of ore, and no one cares about He Jie, a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training who can be killed at will.

"According to the information collected before, the He family is a fake Dan family, and the ancestor of the fake Dan family has a high attainment in the art of formation. It was rumored in the early years that he was a second-level formation master, and it was not difficult to refine the formation diagram of the scorching flame formation..."

"Only the fake Dan ancestor of the He family has this attainment in the art of formation, and has this level of cultivation, can avoid the Earthly Evil Formation and the sight of the garrison disciples, and quietly "break the formation with the formation" in the black copper mine..."

Su Ming recalled the information about the He family, and it can be basically confirmed that it was the He family who tampered with the Earthly Evil Formation.

But what puzzled Su Ming was that as a subsidiary family of the Guiyuan Sect, the He family had no courage to betray the Guiyuan Sect, a major Yuanying sect. Once discovered, the end would be extermination.

Are they sure they can survive the pursuit of the Guiyuan Sect?

The only one who can save the He family from the Yuanying Sect is another Yuanying Sect...

Combining the ongoing war of the spirit stone mine and the location of the black copper mine, a name emerged in Su Ming's mind.

Hehuan Sect!

If I guessed correctly, the He family has betrayed the Guiyuan Sect and turned to the Hehuan Sect.

The Hehuan Sect wants to take action against this black copper mine!

Nowadays, the war in the Lingshi Mine is becoming more and more intense. It is normal for Hehuan Sect to go to the border of Guiyuan Sect to cause destruction, and Guiyuan Sect does this kind of thing often.

Thinking of this, Su Ming calmed down and added a few formation patterns on the formation diagram of the Burning Flame Formation.

Although he is not a second-level formation mage, after Luo Shu analyzed the Scorching Flame Formation, it had no secrets for him, and it was easy to prevent it from functioning at a critical moment.

At the same time, Su Ming restored all the decorations in the cave, erased all traces of his presence here, and used earth magic to restore the entrance to the cave.

After confirming that He Jie, a monk in the early stage of Qi refining, could not detect the abnormality, Su Ming ended today's formation maintenance and inspection.

"If the enemy wants to take action against the Black Copper Mine, I'm afraid it will be during this period. As a fake elixir family, the He family has many foundation-building monks in the family."

"If you want to take action against the Black Copper Mine, you don't need to be so covert and send out a few foundation-building monks. With the cultivation of the stationed disciples, they can't wait for the support of the sect. The He family has spent so much effort, which shows that they still have Don’t want to be exposed…”

"A fake Dan family's secret chess game is much more valuable to the Hehuan Sect than a miniature black copper mine. As long as everyone in the black copper mine is dead, no one will know about the He family's betrayal, and they can naturally continue to hide it. On the territory of Guiyuan Sect..."

"As long as the Hehuan Sect monks act quickly enough, at most they will be held accountable for not providing timely support. It is impossible for the Guiyuan Sect to destroy the He family for a few Qi Refining disciples. Otherwise, who would dare to do anything for the Guiyuan Sect?"

Su Ming put away the magic weapon and walked quickly out of the mine.

According to the activation time of the Scorching Flame Formation, the enemy may attack the Black Copper Mine within these few days, and it would be most dangerous to stay here now.

Even if we ask for help from the sect now, given the distance between Guang'an City and Guiyuan Sect, it will take more than five days for Jindan Zhenren to arrive in person, and his body will probably be cold by then.

"The most dangerous place is the safest! The safest place right now is Lianyun Mountain, go to He Family's Fangshi!"

Su Ming was afraid that he would be accused by the sect if he ran away directly. Since the He family did not want to betray the Guiyuan Sect, it was safer to stay in the He family's territory at this time.

At present, the Scorching Flame Formation has been tampered with by Su Ming. The Earthly Evil Formation, which has no flaws, is a second-level formation. Qi-refining monks have no ability to break the formation. They are afraid that there are mid-stage foundation-building monks among the enemies, and the Earthly Evil Formation will not be able to stop it when the time comes. Stay here, I'm afraid you'll die.

First go to Hejiafang City to hide and see the situation.

After the enemy attacks the Wutong Mine, Zhou Yuhao and Zhou Tianyu, who will be responsible for patrolling next month, will definitely ask for help. After receiving the call for help, whether Su Ming wants to provide support depends on the strength of the enemy.

If the enemy monks are too strong, they won't be able to hold on for long even with support, so let's stop talking.

Su Ming could only collect the corpses of his fellow disciples "with tears in his eyes". It was impossible to risk his life for the mission. At most, it would be a crime of "unfavorable garrison", which was at least better than dying in battle.

If the enemy is unable to break through the Earthly Evil Formation, Su Ming can return to the Black Copper Mine for support. Not only will he not have to worry about encountering the foundation-building monks, he will also be able to buy enough time for the sect to support him.

The ancestor of the He Family's Fake Pill has been transferred to the front line by the Guiyuan Sect. Even if there is a problem with the Burning Flame Formation, He Jie's cultivation level will not reveal what Su Ming did.

After making the decision, Su Ming did not alert anyone, or even tell anyone, to avoid mishaps.

About two hours later, it was getting dark. Seeing that it was almost time, Su Ming said sorry in his heart:

"I am a dead Taoist but not a poor Taoist. I'm sorry, everyone!"

After Su Ming handed over the formation control token to Zhou Yuhao, he quietly left the Black Copper Mine and headed towards Lianyun Mountain, avoiding everyone's eyes.

While on the road, Su Ming took out the transmission talisman and asked the sect for support.

The He family is suspected of betrayal and is asking for support!
