The Path to Immortality

During the meticulous carving, Fang Ping's mind was consumed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously.

But he ignored it and focused all his attention on the second formation flag in front of him.

However, just when he was about to finish, he felt a little excited, and the spiritual energy drawn by the carving knife increased a little.

"Oh!"

Fang Ping couldn't help but sighed in annoyance.

But there was no way, failure was failure, he could only throw away this formation flag.

Pick up the third formation flag and start over.

After four attempts in a row, Fang Ping finally completed the first formation flag that carried the four restrictions of the maze formation.

"Even the simplest formation, with so much effort, only a quarter of a set was made!"

Fang Ping, who was forced to stop and rest, could not help but have a more real feeling of the difficulty of the formation.

A few days later.

After almost using up all the formation flags carved from spiritual jade, Fang Ping finally completed the formation flag corresponding to the fourth restriction after repeated attempts.

Putting down the carving knife, he looked at the four formation flags in front of him, with some joy in his eyes, and a strong sense of achievement and pride.

Although his attainments in alchemy are far higher than those in formation, that was with the help of Yuan Ding.

But the progress in formation is solid, and it is completely achieved by his own efforts, step by step.

However, although the formation is completed, whether it can work or not still depends on the actual formation.

At this moment, the night is getting darker, and everything is silent outside Yunyang Peak.

Fang Ping came to the outside of the cave, and according to the markings on the formation diagram of the maze formation, he urged his mana to hit the formation flags one by one into the corresponding position.

To maintain the operation of the formation, it also consumes a certain amount of spiritual energy.

This part of spiritual energy can be replaced by the main formation person's own mana, or it can be provided by high-quality spiritual stones.

Of course, the best way is to support it with the spiritual vein.

The mountain protection formation of Luoyang Sect is supported by the second-level superior spiritual vein under Luoyun Peak.

As long as the spiritual vein is continuous, the formation can continue to operate continuously.

But this spiritual vein is the foundation of Luoyang Sect, and any disciple is strictly prohibited from touching it privately.

Without reporting to the formation hall in advance, Fang Ping dared not rashly borrow the power of the spiritual vein, and could only use his own magic power to drive the formation.

"Get up!"

He shouted in a low voice, urged his magic power, and remotely activated the four formation flags around him.

The next moment, the four formation flags lit up faint spiritual light at the same time, resonating with each other. A mysterious formation diagram of the maze formation loomed, drawing the power of heaven and earth, and generating a large amount of gray mist out of thin air.

In a flash, the courtyard under the deep night was covered by heavy fog.

As the one who set up the formation, Fang Ping was naturally not affected by the maze formation. But in order to observe the operation of the formation more clearly, he still opened the spiritual eye technique and inspected every operation of the formation.

As he controlled and changed the formation, the range of the mist also changed like the tide, which was very similar to the mist at the entrance of Luoyunfang Mountain.

"Although it was the first time to successfully refine it, the range and effect of the formation are not as good as the maze formation in Luoyunfang, but for a formation apprentice, being able to successfully set up the formation is a great success."

However, he still knew the old saying that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

With the identity of an alchemy apprentice in front, it is enough to give himself a reasonable reason for the cultivation resources he obtained.

Before his strength is improved to the level that can protect himself, there is no need to tell others about the formation. He always has to leave some tricks for himself.

As a formation setter, Fang Ping knows how to operate the maze formation, and four formation flags are enough.

But if it is a cultivator who does not understand the operation of the formation, he needs to use a special formation plate to control the operation of the formation.

The medium-grade [Withered Bone Illusion Formation] that Fang Ping bought in the market before is like this.

Compared with the array flags that carry a series of prohibitions, the difficulty of refining the array disk is much easier.

Just integrate a few common methods of control and array change, so that the monks who buy it can operate it conveniently after inputting mana.

Based on the principle of being cautious, Fang Ping also made a array disk for himself as a cover with the remaining spiritual jade.

If asked, just say that it is a finished product bought from the market!

In this way, no one can see the problem.

"Collect!"

As Fang Ping's mind changed, the array stopped running quickly.

After the heavy fog dispersed, Fang Ping put away the array flags and array disks again and put them into the storage bag.

Although this maze array only has warnings, confusion, and a little enemy blocking effect, it has no lethality, but in non-combat situations, it still plays a lot of wonderful uses.

For example, when Liu Wuchen and others attacked the black-scaled dragon in Canglan River in the outer sect, they used a set of maze arrays to cover up the figures of everyone and successfully induced the black-scaled dragon to show up.

If it really doesn't work, even if he has to give up this formation, he can buy some precious time to escape.

It can be said that since then, Fang Ping has gained another skill and method of cultivating immortals.

………

The next day.

The joy of a slight breakthrough in formation has long subsided after a night.

Calculating the time, it has been more than five years since I entered the inner door. It shouldn't be so conspicuous to rush from the fifth level of Qi training to the sixth level of Qi training.

After all, he is an apprentice of Dan Dao, and resources will not be scarce.

If you hide your shortcomings too much, it may be worse than not enough.

After making up his mind, Fang Ping did not deliberately lower his realm when he came out of the cave this time, but just showed his cultivation as that of a person who had just broken through the sixth level of Qi training.

Seeing Fang Ping coming out of retreat, Cheng Guan, who was staring at the spiritual field in a daze, was startled and immediately stood up to greet him.

Perhaps after being Fang Ping's spiritual plant husband, his life was more stable and leisurely, and the cultivation environment was better. Although five years had passed, this middle-aged male cultivator looked younger than when he first came.

When he first came, the distressed look on his face gradually disappeared.

This diligent spiritual plant husband obviously knew who brought this leisurely life. In the past five years, although Fang Ping rarely asked about it, he had been working very hard to manage several spiritual fields in an orderly manner.

Recently, the first batch of five-year-old spiritual medicines are about to usher in a bumper harvest.

"Hello, senior brother!"

Cheng Guan saluted.

"You're welcome." Fang Ping waved his hand: "How is the gift I asked you to prepare?"

According to Fang Ping's original intention, he wanted to break through to the late stage of Qi training in one go before coming out of retreat.

But a few days ago, Yan Xu from the outer sect sent an invitation, saying that he had found a Taoist partner who was in love with him and that the Taoist partner was already pregnant, and hoped that Fang Ping could come to participate in the double cultivation ceremony.

When he was in the outer sect before, Yan Xu had a very good relationship with Fang Ping and was quite considerate of him.

Fang Ping had to give this face.

After practicing hard for so long, he was a little tired, so he took this opportunity to walk around.

"Brother, I have finished shopping!"

Cheng Guan took out several exquisite gift boxes from the storage bag and handed them to Fang Ping.

Most of them were auspicious gifts and seasonal spiritual fruits commonly seen in the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world when participating in the double cultivation ceremony, but there was also a valuable thing that cost Fang Ping hundreds of spiritual stones.
