The Path to Immortality

After visiting three shops, Fang Ping found a set of formations in a shop called [Wuxingzhai].

It was a medium-grade basic formation called [Dry Bone Illusion Formation].

This formation consists of five formation flags and a main formation plate. It is mainly used to trap the enemy, but the killing effect is very average.

The advantage is that it can generate various realistic illusions, making it difficult for the enemy to detect. They will be trapped in the formation without knowing it, and eventually be killed by endless illusions.

According to the shop owner, monsters and cultivators below the late stage of Qi training will never be able to escape unless they have some extremely powerful means or are proficient in formation.

Even for cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, it is not easy to escape if someone is in charge of the formation.

"Yes, I want this formation!"

After learning more about it, Fang Ping made the decision on the spot.

The business of formations can be said to be closed for three years, but it can be profitable for three years after opening.

Seeing a customer coming, the shop owner smiled and quoted the price: "This formation, one thousand spirit stones! If it is damaged, it will be repaired once!"

"One thousand spirit stones?"

Fang Ping frowned slightly.

You know, a low-grade magic weapon is only one or two hundred spirit stones.

An ordinary medium-grade magic weapon is only six or seven hundred spirit stones.

This formation is more expensive than a medium-grade magic weapon?

Seeing Fang Ping complaining about the price, the shop owner was not angry, probably because he had seen it before.

He only said: "This is a carefully made formation plate, which comes with several ways to change the formation. Even people who don't know formations at all can control it freely, not to mention that it is repaired once. Just tell me if you want it!"

It was indeed too expensive.

Even with Fang Ping's wealth, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Can't it be cheaper?"

He tried to make a final bargain.

The formation cultivator knew that Fang Ping was already tempted. People who are willing to spend a thousand spirit stones will not change their minds because of a small discount.

He shook his head firmly: "No bargaining!"

The formation cultivators are so domineering!

There was nothing he could do. Who told him that he had just started to study the formation and couldn't set up the formation himself?

Fang Ping could only pay a thousand spirit stones and buy this formation.

His originally very affluent wealth was seriously reduced.

But when he thought of the sense of security brought by the trump card, Fang Ping was relieved. Those spirit stones were just a different form of accompanying him.

Besides, with Yuan Ding, spirit stones can be earned easily?

Compared with his own wealth and life, a mere thousand spirit stones are nothing!

On the way back from the market, Fang Ping found a deserted place and tried to practice the withered bone illusion formation.

After experiencing it personally, he had to say that the effect of this formation was worth the spirit stones he paid.

Fang Ping couldn't guarantee how long it could trap the late Qi training cultivator. But after a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training was trapped in the formation, it was almost impossible to escape. He was very confident.

After taking back the formation flag and the formation plate and returning to Tiandu Peak, Fang Ping slept peacefully for the first time in a long time.

………

Just one week later.

Fang Ping's inference about the rising prices in the market was confirmed.

Luoyang Sect's outer gate, the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Early in the morning, as the outer gate steward of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall appeared, the outer gate disciples waiting to do the chores for the new quarter swarmed into the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Although the chores that really paid off had long been secretly withheld, there were still some relatively leisurely and well-paid jobs. If you come in early, you might be able to get one by chance.

"Don't push!"

"Oh, I was here first!"

"There's still so much shoving and shoving in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, what a disgrace!"

The outer gate disciples argued in a low voice, and finally sorted out the order before the steward of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall got angry.

But then, the disciples were surprised to find that there were not as many densely packed chores as in the past in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall today.

On the contrary, the two deacons Zhao and Liang, and even the elder Huang of the outer sect, all appeared in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall with serious expressions.

"I'm afraid something big is going to happen again!"

Many disciples almost immediately smelled the breath of the coming of a big event, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy for a while.

No one knew whether the deacons were going to announce good news or bad news next.

After waiting for a while, seeing that more and more outer sect disciples gathered here, Elder Huang winked at the two deacons of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

After receiving the signal, Deacon Liang stepped forward and announced: "According to the order of the head of Luoyang Sect, all outer sect disciples listen carefully. The chores of this quarter are no longer freely selected, but are uniformly recruited."

Before the voice fell, the disciples in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall were surprised and couldn't help but buzzing.

However, Elder Huang only released the pressure of the early foundation-building cultivators, and the disciples calmed down again in an instant.

Deacon Liang continued: "...disciples with the strength of the early stage of Qi training can continue to do the chores as usual. Disciples in the middle and late stages of Qi training must follow the inner sect foundation-building uncles to perform special tasks, and must not violate them!"

"The specific tasks will be known to the disciples when they arrive at the corresponding base with the foundation-building uncles."

"The time of this mission is undetermined, it may be as short as one month or as long as several months. During this period, we may fight with monsters, so all disciples need to be prepared."

"Of course, the sect will not let you suffer."

"For this mission, the sect will list many branches. For each completed task, you can get rewards such as sect contribution, spirit stones, elixirs, magic tools, etc., which are much richer than normal chores."

"If you can make great contributions to the sect, it is not impossible to be promoted to the inner sect by exception!"

After reading this, Deacon Liang looked back at Elder Huang and saw that he had nothing to add. Then he said to the disciples: "Do you have any other questions?"

This statement ignited the emotions of the disciples in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

Immediately, a disciple in the middle stage of Qi training separated the crowd and said: "Excuse me, Deacon, why is there such a sudden change?"

This question was the most concerned question for many disciples present, and it was immediately echoed by many disciples.

"Yes, why is the miscellaneous affairs of this quarter so special?"

"Did something big happen?"

"Please tell me some news, so that we can have a bottom line."

As an outer sect deacon, Deacon Liang naturally knew the inside story.

After all, when the sect's upper echelons began to make big moves, it meant that the secret was no longer a secret.

But the exhaustion of the spirit stone veins had a huge impact on the sect, so the news from the inner sect was kept secret for a few more days.

With this in mind, Deacon Liang acted as if nothing had happened and comforted the disciples, saying, "This special mission is indeed slightly different from the past. But you don't have to worry, it's just that the sect is making some adjustments."

Another Deacon Zhao obviously also expected that the announcement of this special mission might cause a commotion.

Compared to the easy-going Deacon Liang, he was much more intimidating to the outer disciples.

With a stern face, he shouted, "It's outrageous to make a noise in the general affairs hall! Since the sect has made such an arrangement, it naturally has its considerations. You disciples don't have to think too much, just do it!"

After being scolded by him, none of the disciples dared to shout again.
