Chapter 262: Dragon Flame Spirit Herb
Chapter 262: Dragon Flame Spirit Herb
It seems that these formations are designed to guard against various threats.
Shen Yi recognized the incense fire wish power, and it was obvious that this object could be used.
Qinghua Madam had just blocked Tianyan Xiang, and before she could be taken back, she glanced at Shen Yi with a sidelong look, "Should I give it a try?"
Shen Yi pondered for a moment before declining her suggestion.
Although the incense fire wish power was usable, he wasn't entirely confident that his shadow soul could withstand the fire waves. At most, he would consider it as a last resort.
Moreover, there were other options available at the moment.
With this in mind, Shen Yi looked towards the young scholar in the distance.
He noticed that everyone else had more or less been burned, but this person's snow-white scholar's robe was spotless, not to mention any injuries.
"Go ahead," he nodded.
"Ah?" The scholar was startled and took a half-step back, his pale face contorting in bitterness as he pointed at himself, "Me?"
They had just been eating fruit together, and now they were being so ruthless.
The others were also startled, knowing that this young man had just defeated two Primordial Sages without even lifting an eyelid. What chance did they, a group of weaklings, stand against him?
"I want you to break the formation," Shen Yi said, giving him a sidelong glance.
"Oh."
The scholar patted his chest and quickly took out another thick book. He flipped through the pages while probing the shore.
Learn and sell?
Shen Yi sighed and withdrew his gaze. Never mind, he had come here to find spirit roots, and this medicine lodge seemed like a place for cultivating heavenly materials and treasures. Waiting a while wouldn't hurt.
He didn't share the same concerns as the Xiang siblings.
The reason was simple.
Spirit roots were necessary for the Primordial Realm, and in that realm, he was considered a formidable existence.
If a Soul Transformation Cultivator came to take it, he wouldn't mind showing off his Golden Body.
"Senior, what about us...?"
The tall, thin man spoke for the other cultivators, voicing their concerns.
"Do as you please," Shen Yi said.
He took out another spirit fruit and took a bite.
He had been playing along with the Xiang siblings because they had their own set of rules.
However, Shen Yi wasn't a bloodthirsty person, and since he had no grudges with these people, he didn't want to stain his hands with unnecessary bloodshed, which could also affect his mood.
"Thank you, Senior!"
The crowd quickly bowed, as the scene before them was truly terrifying. Half of the cultivators immediately turned and fled.
The remaining people quietly retreated to a distance, not wanting to interfere with this opportunity but also unwilling to leave.
In a place like the Daoist mansion, where there was no order, any influence or background was meaningless.
Following a Primordial Sage who seemed slightly more normal increased their chances of leaving the mansion alive.
"It's actually quite useful," Shen Yi said, chewing on the fruit and glancing at the cold light flowing from his fingertips.
He hadn't activated the Cold Jade Mystic Hand earlier.
But when he punched the Primordial Sage's sword, it didn't even break his skin, thanks to the protection of the artifact.
After thinking about it, he walked towards the scholar.
"What's your surname?"
"My surname is Xu, you can call me A Qing," the scholar quickly stood up, brushed off the dust from his clothes, and politely bowed to Shen Yi.
"It's fine, you can continue," Shen Yi waved his hand and casually asked, "Since you're bored, can I borrow a few books to read?"
"Er..." A Qing hesitated, then took out a book titled 'Introduction to Array Techniques' from his waist.
"This is the only book I have. If the Grandmaster wants to pass the time, this is the most suitable book."
Shen Yi took the book and flipped through it casually, "Do you have any others?"
"Actually, this is quite difficult. It's hard to master it in just ten or half a month."
A Qing rubbed his head but still took out four or five more books. "By the way, you're just passing time, haha."
"But I can't let you see this one."
He held the thickest ancient tome and shyly shook his head.
"It's fine." Shen Yi nodded gently.
He still remembered that he had obtained two Primordial Martial Arts books about Formation Techniques from the Martial Temple earlier.
It would be good to brush up on the basics first.
As for the book in the other person's hand... take it slowly, no rush.
At this moment, there was no need to worry about the Demon Lifespan.
"You go ahead." Shen Yi casually found a stone to sit on and began to leisurely flip through the Introduction to Array Techniques.
About six days passed.
Finally, A Qing had drawn the entire structure of the grand formation on his book.
Shen Yi had also successfully memorized the entire Introduction to Array Techniques.
If he could understand it, it would surely be interesting.
After committing all five Formation books to memory, he walked towards A Qing and returned the books, "How is it going?"
"It should be almost done."
A Qing looked at the sky, then led Shen Yi to a seemingly ordinary spot.
"It'll take about the time it takes an incense stick to burn."
He put away the book, smiled, and asked, "How is the Grandmaster's understanding coming along? Are there any parts you don't understand?"
"It's okay, we can talk about it later."
Shen Yi changed the subject, and A Qing tactfully didn't ask further, knowing that not everyone was interested in formations.
He silently calculated the time and suddenly said, "It's ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, to Shen Yi's slightly surprised gaze, the man didn't hesitate at all and leaped straight into the fiery wave!
Then Shen Yi grabbed him and pulled him back, "What are you doing?"
"I... I was just going over there." A Qing was not tall, and his slender figure looked a bit silly as he was lifted by Shen Yi, "We're running out of time."
"..."
Shen Yi fell silent for a moment, then tried to take a step forward.
Indeed, not only did the fire dragon show no reaction, but even the aura around his body didn't show any signs of stagnation.
He leaped over a distance of ten zhang and successfully reached the other side of the river, where the Medicine Lodge was located.
"A formation can never be perfect; there are always flaws. As long as you seize the right time and position, it's as good as non-existent. It's actually quite simple."
A Qing was dropped to the ground and stood up, brushing off the dust.
Obviously, he was extremely confident in his formation skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have jumped up like that earlier.
"Hmm."
Shen Yi didn't quite understand and responded noncommittally.
The aura in his heart became increasingly intertwined.
He strolled towards the Medicine Lodge, opened the door, and instead of a room, he saw a pitch-black stone grotto.
The scorching heat wave caused Shen Yi to frown subconsciously.
A Qing coughed vigorously a few times and exclaimed excitedly, "I know! It's the Dragon Flame Spirit Herb! This is a middle-grade Spirit Root."
He pointed into the depths of the stone grotto.
On a stone platform, there was a ball of fiery red flesh about the size of a palm.
There seemed to be something like flesh tendons pulsating on it.
A red liquid similar to blood oozed out and flowed down the stone platform, entering a narrow channel.
"What a marvelous formation, using the Spirit Herb to guard itself. The fire river outside actually originates from within it."
A Qing quickly took out paper and a brush to record his findings.
Just as he looked up, he saw Shen Yi walk over and tear the Dragon Flame Spirit Herb off, storing it in his Storage Artifact.
A Qing opened his mouth slightly, "Ah..."
