Mortal Seeking Immortal

After returning to Kongtong City, Ye Zhou rushed to the cultivator trading area and sold the skin of the Graystone Arrow Monster. Then he returned to the inn to wake up Wu Yong and gave him the meat of the Graystone Arrow Monster.

The meat of the Graystone Arrow Monster is tender and rich in spiritual power. It is expensive and is loved by cultivators after being made into food.

Wu Yong was extremely happy when he saw the meat of the Graystone Arrow Monster. He immediately took the meat to the kitchen of the inn and prepared to show off his cooking skills.

There were still a few days before the Hong family of Kongtong City went to sea. Ye Zhou had very few pills left. He was planning to refine a few more bottles of pills to restore spiritual power, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the small gourd hanging around his neck.

Since Ye Zhou came to the Konghai Continent, he rarely used this small gourd. He usually used the inner pills of monsters to refine pills.

Ye Zhou was very curious about the inside of the small gourd. He had released his spiritual sense to explore the small gourd before, but he didn't know if it was because of his low cultivation level that his spiritual sense could not penetrate the inside of the small gourd.

Now that he has reached the Jindan realm, he wants to explore the small gourd again.

Ye Zhou released his spiritual sense to explore the small gourd. As soon as his spiritual sense touched the small gourd, a hazy yellow light was emitted from the small gourd, sucking Ye Zhou's spiritual sense into the small gourd.

The next moment, Ye Zhou's spiritual sense was placed in a formation in the small gourd.

Ye Zhou carefully observed this formation and found that it was an ancient formation, the Nine Mysterious Star Shifting Formation.

An ordinary cultivator practicing in this formation for one day can stop a cultivator practicing hard outside for five years.

This formation was very difficult to set up and had been lost in ancient times. Unexpectedly, there was still a Nine Mysterious Star Shifting Formation left in this small gourd.

Ye Zhou's eyes showed a touch of joy.

Since there is such a formation in the small gourd, it means that the space here can allow the physical body of the cultivator to enter. Ye Zhou's mind moved, and the next moment, he was already in the small gourd.

As soon as Ye Zhou entered the gourd, he looked around.

I saw a white fog dozens of feet away from the formation. There seemed to be some kind of restriction hidden in this fog, and the spiritual consciousness could not penetrate the fog at all.

Ye Zhou walked around the formation and found that this place was empty. Not even a plant was seen, and there was no spiritual energy in this space.

"Since there is no spiritual energy, how did the spiritual plants that were previously collected by the small gourd grow for so many years?"

Ye Zhou's eyes fell on the black soil under his feet. This soil seemed to be no different from ordinary soil.

Ye Zhou squatted down and used his spiritual power to absorb some soil. He wanted to study it carefully. He saw that the soil wrapped by the spiritual power turned into a handful of flying ash as soon as it left the ground. At the same time, the small pit on the ground where the soil had just been taken quickly disappeared.

"This soil is a bit strange."

Ye Zhou tried several more times to take some soil from the ground, but he didn't get anything. No matter what means he used, once the soil left the ground, it would quickly turn into flying ash, and the pits on the ground would disappear.

Ye Zhou looked at the soil under his feet and thought for a moment, and finally remembered that he had seen this kind of soil called Xiran in a jade slip that recorded ancient wonders.

It is rumored that ancient monks like to refine a small world to live in. Because the small world is isolated from the outside world, there is no spiritual energy at all. In order for spiritual plants to grow in the small world, some ancient monks will add Xiran to it when refining the small world.

Xiran contains rich spiritual power and can grow infinitely. Once spiritual plants are planted on Xiran, they will grow rapidly.

Because of this characteristic, Xirang is expensive, and ordinary cultivators have no chance to see Xirang in their lifetime. I didn't expect that there would be so much Xirang in this small gourd. It can be seen that the predecessor who refined this small gourd is extraordinary.

Ye Zhou sighed in his heart, and quickly took out some spiritual plant seeds from the storage ring and planted them in this open space.

These spiritual plant seeds were brought by Ye Zhou from the Linghuan Continent. Because he had been using the inner elixir of monsters to make elixirs on the Konghai Continent, these spiritual plant seeds were not used.

Ye Zhou wanted to plant more spiritual plants in this space, but in order to prevent the spiritual power in Xirang from being insufficient due to too dense planting, Ye Zhou only planted more than a hundred spiritual plants.

As soon as these more than a hundred spiritual plant seeds were buried in the Xirang, they quickly took root and sprouted. In just a moment, they had grown into tender seedlings of spiritual plants.

After planting the spiritual plants, Ye Zhou did not care about them anymore, but focused his attention on the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation. He had just entered the Jindan realm and wanted to practice more to consolidate his realm. He was quite interested in this formation.

Ye Zhou studied this formation a little and found out that it could still be used. Each time it was used, it would consume 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones.

Ye Zhou had exactly 200,000 medium-grade spiritual stones in his storage ring, enough to use the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation twice.

Ye Zhou entered the formation and sat cross-legged. With a wave of his sleeve, he put 100,000 medium-grade spiritual stones into the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation. The Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation emitted a light golden light with a humming sound, and then began to operate rapidly.

A light golden shield was turned upside down, covering the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation. Some golden runes were suspended above the shield, separating the inside and outside of the shield into two worlds with different time flow rates.

Sitting cross-legged in the formation, Ye Zhou saw that the spiritual plants around him, which had been growing rapidly just now, suddenly slowed down. Knowing that the formation had taken effect, he quickly swallowed some pills and began to practice the "Spirit Ascension Technique".

Time passed quickly in the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation.

After an unknown amount of time, when Ye Zhou smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation suddenly stopped functioning, the spiritual power of the spiritual stones that had been injected into the formation was exhausted, and the golden shield disappeared.

Ye Zhou opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and circulated his spiritual power throughout his body. After moving his slightly stiff body, he stood up and walked out of the formation.

Ye Zhou came to a butterfly cloud spiritual grass, and saw that the butterfly cloud spiritual grass had begun to bear fruit. The butterfly cloud spiritual grass bears fruit once every five hundred years. Ye Zhou knew that one day had passed in the outside world.

One day in the outside world is five years in the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation.

After five years of hard practice, Ye Zhou not only consolidated his realm, but also increased his cultivation a lot.

While there was still time, Ye Zhou simply took care of the spiritual plants around him, and then entered the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation again and began to continue practicing.

Another day passed unnoticed, until the spiritual stones in the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation were consumed, Ye Zhou reluctantly walked out of the formation.

After ten years of hard training, Ye Zhou's cultivation has reached the peak of the early stage of Jindan.

Having experienced the benefits brought by the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation, Ye Zhou now only wants to earn more spirit stones so that he can continue to practice in the Nine Profound Star Shifting Formation.

If it weren't for the fact that spirit plants have no market in the Konghai Continent, Ye Zhou would have wanted to use the batch of spirit plants he cultivated to exchange for spirit stones.
