Chapter 127 Special Spiritual Fertile Soil
It took him several days to integrate the "Spirit Gathering Array" into the "Thick Earth Array" to create a [Thick Earth Spirit Array] of better quality that can continuously absorb spiritual energy.
However, there is still a serious problem now, that is, the lack of array materials.
Zhou Daocheng did prepare a lot of auxiliary materials for the first-grade top-grade array, but Zhou Daocheng had never heard of the first-grade top-grade earth attribute core material required for the [Thick Earth Spirit Array] - deep rock thick soil.
However, after thinking for a while, Zhou Daocheng's eyes lit up and he thought of another high-quality soil in his hand - fertile spiritual soil!
This kind of soil used by the soul-devouring ant colony to build ant nests has a wide range of quality, from the first-grade lower to the first-grade upper grade, and the quantity is huge and rich in spiritual energy.
In the original plan, fertile spiritual soil has two functions in total. The first is to help the ant colony build new ant nests.
The second is to mix into the spiritual field to improve the quality of the spiritual field in the valley and expand the scale of the spiritual field.
Zhou Daocheng thought about it and found that in addition to these two functions, the fertile soil is also a high-quality soil-like treasure. Can it be used as the core material of the formation?
At least in his opinion, there should be no problem.
However, the two completely different soils, "fertile soil" and "deep rock and thick soil", have different characteristics, which may lead to different characteristics of the final formation.
Zhou Daocheng immediately took out a large amount of first-grade high-quality fertile soil and made a preliminary attempt.
The change of materials requires corresponding changes in the refining process of the formation plate, including the process of array pattern arrangement, which has also undergone slight changes.
If it is an ordinary formation master, it is naturally impossible to make changes and adjustments, but for Zhou Daocheng, these are not a problem.
It took ten days for Zhou Daocheng to successfully make a set of [thick soil spiritual formation] formation plates.
But after using it, Zhou Daocheng immediately discovered the abnormality of the formation.
In theory, the thick soil formation made of deep rock and thick soil is extremely hard and thick, and the defense is very terrifying.
However, the new [Thick Earth Spiritual Array] made of fertile spiritual soil has a much lower hardness, but has become more flexible, and the spiritual energy inside is also more concentrated.
If used as a defensive array, the effect is naturally reduced a lot, but if used as a cultivation array, the effect is more than one level higher.
Moreover, Zhou Daocheng was surprised to find that the fertile spiritual soil itself is a kind of soil with a soft texture and strong plasticity, so it can be used to build ant nests.
If it is used to make an array, as long as the array pattern is slightly changed, the soil can be reshaped in the [Thick Earth Spiritual Array] and built into different shapes.
This is an ability that the original thick earth array never had, and it is a unique effect brought by fertile spiritual soil.
This magical phenomenon made Zhou Daocheng try it immediately. After just a slight adjustment, the [Thick Earth Spiritual Array] changed into the shape of a mud house, and the appearance was still very delicate.
But after a while, Zhou Daocheng changed from excitement to speechless, because he suddenly found that this change seemed to be useless!
Who would take a first-level superior array to knead mud when he has nothing to do? This is really too naive, and it has no practical effect.
"Forget it, let's just use it as a cultivation array. Although the defensiveness has decreased, the cultivation effect is unexpectedly good."
Zhou Daocheng thought to himself and reluctantly accepted the changes of [Thick Earth Spirit Array].
As he entered the array to practice, he could clearly feel that the surrounding earth attribute spiritual energy was much richer, and it was easier to absorb, which greatly increased the speed of practice.
If he could maintain this speed of practice, it is estimated that it would only take one year to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
...
While Zhou Daocheng was busy practicing, Meng Yueshan and Lin Yuan had also resumed their lives as casual practitioners.
The two people with stronger strength are now like fish in water. If it weren't for Zhou Daocheng's task constraints, the two would have been happy long ago.
In order to better hunt monsters and find suitable hunting team members, the two chose to go east.
The closer to the direction of the East Great Wilderness Vein, the more monsters there are, and the strength of the casual practitioners who hunt monsters here is also stronger.
So when they first arrived here, they clearly noticed that the strength of the cultivators in this area had improved a lot.
And the number of independent cultivators was also much greater than before.
The two of them also roughly understood the reason. As the eastern border of the Qingshan Sect, this place is a relatively remote place. Many independent cultivators who want to avoid war will go here.
Therefore, in the past, there were no cultivators in the place for many months, but now there are cultivators.
However, not long after, Meng Yueshan vaguely noticed something unusual and frowned, saying, "Old Lin, don't you think there are too many independent cultivators? And many teams don't seem to be composed of independent cultivators."
Lin Yuan held a spiritual grass in his mouth and chewed it slowly, saying indifferently, "If it's not independent cultivators, then who else could it be?"
"It seems that many teams are well-equipped and closely coordinated in battle. The number of people is generally 8 to 10, and they are all led by strong people who have 90% of Qi Refining. This should be a hunting team of a small family or small force." Zhou Daocheng speculated.
Lin Yuan thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "This is not difficult to understand. The Qingshan Sect started a war and transferred many foundation-building masters from the family, causing many small forces to complain."
"In order to ensure family inheritance, many families sent a group of people to leave the family and secretly go to the vicinity of the East Great Wilderness. This can be regarded as preserving the fire and opening up a new path for the family. This is a very normal thing."
Although Lin Yuan is usually unreliable, he is also a senior leader of a team of independent cultivators and has a thorough understanding of the overall situation.
Meng Yueshan nodded and said with some concern: "These family hunting teams are quite strong. I hope they don't do anything weird."
Lin Yuan curled his lips and said indifferently: "I still hope they will be honest. If they provoke us, let Lao Qin go back to his old business and catch these family forces to fleece them and make a fortune."
Meng Yueshan was speechless for a moment. Did he really think it was so easy to be an evil cultivator?
Killing people and robbing treasures is a technical job.
You need to have enough luck, ability, technology and experience to be able to play it.
Otherwise, you will be like Qin Lie in the past. He was caught by Zhou Daocheng when he was halfway through his business.
If he had been a little more ruthless and cut him with one knife, the grass on Qin Lie's grave would be three meters high now.
No, according to the situation at that time, Qin Lie would probably not be buried. If he was exposed in the wilderness, he would become excellent food and eventually natural fertilizer, returning to the land where he was born and raised.
"Stop talking nonsense, and complete the task of the young master first."
"I know, but we can't just catch casual cultivators in the mountains and forests, right? We have to find a way to understand the situation." Lin Yuan said helplessly.
Meng Yueshan said calmly: "I have arranged it. Let's find an old friend to understand the situation first."
"Old friend?" Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "Who?"
"Xiao Lan, your old lover."
"???"
Under Lin Yuan's stunned eyes, Meng Yueshan quickly sank into the lush forest.
A few hours later, the two found a hidden cave in the dense jungle.
The cave should be naturally formed, narrow outside and wide inside, looks extremely irregular, and has not been artificially repaired at all, and is extremely inconspicuous.
As the two approached, they heard a cold shout: "Who is it?"
It was then that he noticed that the ground around him was actually covered with a layer of formation, which should be a broken first-level low-grade defensive formation.
Although the strength is not high, it can serve as a warning and inform the people in the cave in advance if outsiders approach.
Out of courtesy, Meng Yueshan did not rush forward, but shouted loudly: "It's me, Meng Yueshan."
After more than ten seconds, no one appeared at the entrance of the cave in front of him, but several monks crawled out from another more hidden cave.
Meng Yueshan showed a surprised look and secretly sighed: This cave looks ordinary, but it is actually connected in all directions and has hidden mysteries.
"Come in."
Meng Yueshan and the others walked into the cave and found that there was something else inside.
