Chapter 114: Lucky Land Cave Heaven

  After everything in the yard was tidy, Xuandi gave the workers 300 yuan and asked them to have dinner. Watching them leave, Xuandi closed the door, stood alone in the courtyard, and a warm feeling of home spread from the bottom of his heart.

  The bottom of the fish pond was uneven, with several small holes left, Xuan Qi found some lotus seeds to plant in it. When the time comes, there will be mountains and water, fish and lotus flowers, as well as a few lazy big turtles. Adding to that the rotating vital energy, it is truly a paradise on earth.

  Pushing open the door of the hut, Xuan Qi arrived at the table, where a bag of 'jade' stones was placed. Xuan Qi picked up a piece of fire-attribute 'jade' stone and was about to set up the formation inside when Old Turtle suddenly spoke up: "Wait!"

  Xuan Qi looked puzzled and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

  "I didn't think you could find so many 'jade' stones, and I didn't think you had such great potential. So I want to make some adjustments to the formation, to make the spiritual energy more dense." At first, Old Turtle just wanted to let Xuan Qi set up an entry-level spiritual energy formation, but through today's interactions, Old Turtle found that the entry-level was too little for Xuan Qi, and it was not enough. So he thought of upgrading to a slightly more complex one, setting up a slightly more professional formation.

  "The 'yin' and yang of the five elements, profound and even more profound." Lao Ding's voice was filled with solemnity: "We know that the five elements counteract each other, but in fact, they also generate each other."

  The five elements generate each other: Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, and Earth generates Metal. The five elements overcome each other: Metal overcomes Wood, Wood overcomes Earth, Earth overcomes Water, Water overcomes Fire, and Fire overcomes Metal.

  "It's precisely because of the existence of yin and yang, the five elements, generating and overcoming each other, that setting up just one yin-yang harmonious array is a bit too simple." Old Turtle added: "We'll set up a more complex array, utilizing the principle of the five elements generating each other. Not only will we use fire-attributed jade stones, but also other jade stones to form a cyclical array."

  After Old Turtle's explanation, Xuan Qi understood that originally it was just a simple spell array using five pieces of fire attribute 'Xing' 'Yu' stones. However, now Old Turtle wants to upgrade the spell array, placing earth attribute and water attribute spirit stones in the 'Yin' holes, placing wood attribute and fire attribute spirit stones on the walls, and then using metal attribute spirit stones for conduction, achieving a self-sustaining effect.

  This formation is ten times more difficult than the one that was originally set up, and it also consumes ten times more spiritual stones and true energy. The old tortoise has such an idea because now the spiritual stones are abundant, and Xuan Qi is not a rookie in the foundation period, but a Xuan Master who has already cultivated to the stage of air cultivation, so he has the ability and resources to carve out a more complex formation.

  Xuan Qi was born with a bold and fearless temperament. When he heard about the difficulty of setting up the new formation, not only did he not feel intimidated, but his eyes flashed with eagerness as he said without hesitation: "Set up such a formation, tell me the key points and the order of setup."

  Lao Ding is more and more fond of Xuan Qi, who is very careful, dare to fight, not blind, can withstand setbacks, and has patience to wait. Such a disciple must be able to fly higher and higher like an eagle, soaring into the sky.

  After listening to Lao Ding's explanation, Xuan Qi's mind had a plan. He gathered the "jade" stones on the table and left only five fire-attributed "jade" stones, one water-attributed "jade" stone, two wood-attributed "jade" stones, three earth-attributed "jade" stones, and four metal-attributed "jade" stones.

  The same attribute 'yin' jade stone is arranged in a row, with the water attribute at the bottom, followed by three earth attributes, then five fire attributes, and finally four metal attributes. To succeed, one must achieve a seamless flow, first placing the water attribute jade into the formation array, and then putting it into the "yin" hole as the eye of the array. Next, add three earth attribute spirit stones, at which point the cold air of the "yin" hole and the "yin" evil land will be thoroughly activated. Xuan Qi needs to carve and inlay all five fire attribute spirit stones on the five walls within the shortest time possible. Then, add two wood attribute jade stones to assist combustion, thus forming a yin-yang mutual restraint after that, and finally carving and inlaying four metal attribute jade stones into the formation array to form a harmonious yin-yang interaction.

  The entire process seems cumbersome, but in fact it has a strict time limit. If it cannot be completed within two hours, that is, four hours, all these 'jade' materials will be scrapped, and even Xuan Qi will be counterattacked by the formation.

  Such a complex spell array, a total of fifteen 'jade' stones are needed. The difficulty is ten times that of the entry-level spell array, but the benefits are one hundred times that of the entry-level spell array. When Xuan Qi heard about the future effects, he had already been moved. High investment represents high risk, and there is also a high return. Xuan Qi was such an opportunist, and his body always had inexplicable good luck, so he dared to gamble.

  Staring at the 'jade' stone on the table, Xuan Qi took out a small alarm clock from the house and placed it in one corner of the table. He then sat down on the cushion, his eyes slightly closed, concentrating quietly. The room was quiet for a moment, with only the sound of the alarm clock's ticking echoing through the air.

  The alarm clock's hour hand moved from eight to nine, Xuan Qi slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, picked up the first piece of water-attributed 'jade' stone on the table with both hands, and his body's true energy trembled. The lines inside the 'jade' stone were drawn one by one, twisting and turning, as if soldering a circuit board onto a chip.

  As Xuan Qi continued to engrave, the entire water attribute 'Yu' stone was filled with textures in an instant. With the last node being imprinted and then practiced into a line, Xuan Qi felt his whole body tremble, and the 'Yu' stone in his hand emitted a faint blue light, breaking free from the earth's gravitational pull, directly floating in mid-air.

  Xuan Qi immediately reached out and grabbed the 'jade' stone, seemingly in a rush, but actually without any chaos. He pressed the 'jade' stone into the 'yin' hole on the ground. The originally flat muddy ground suddenly rippled with water waves, and the 'jade' stone of water attribute directly merged into the mud. The temperature inside the house dropped to zero in an instant.

  Xuan Qi's single hand grasped again, grasping the earth attribute 'yin' jade stone. His whole body's true energy was like a tide, and he engraved patterns inside the earth attribute spiritual stone with ease and speed. The faster the speed, the more his spiritual energy was consumed, Xuan Qi's heart also hung tightly, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. This time, the engraving speed of the 'yin' jade stone was obviously faster than last time.

  After the piece of earthy spiritual stone floated in the sky, Xuan Qi picked up two more pieces of earthy spiritual stones. The true energy around his body surged, his eyes narrowed tightly together, and a divine light burst out, accompanied by a cold hum from his nose, causing the two jade stones to fly up again. Xuan Qi focused on the three jade stones and pressed them into the ground once more.

  Underground, the 'yin' 'cave' has an array of eyes, and there are three blocks of earth with 'sexual' 'jade' stones arranged in a trigram array to push waves and assist the tide. The indoor temperature dropped from zero degrees to minus twenty degrees, like a refrigerator operating refrigeration. The fish tank placed in the house had a layer of ice on it, and the floating ice gradually solidified. Even the breath exhaled from Xuandi's nostrils turned into icy particles that fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

  Enduring the low temperature, he wouldn't let himself shiver. Xuan Qi gritted his teeth and picked up two fire-attributed jade stones with both hands, placing another one on his forehead. Ah, what a wonderful feeling! Ice and Fire, Two Overlapping Heavens!

  Xuan Qi's face turned red, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the alarm clock, and a layer of white frost had formed on it due to the extremely low temperature in the room. An hour had quietly passed, and there were still eleven "jade" stones left on the table. As the temperature continued to drop, Xuan Qi's movements began to stiffen, and he knew that success or failure depended on these five fire-attribute "jade" stones!

  Gritting his teeth and enduring the strange discomfort, Xuan Qi's eyes widened, and the true energy on his body surged like a tidal wave. Humans are a very strange species, always able to burst out with potential in times of crisis. For example, at this moment, Xuan Qi felt that the true energy on his body was three points stronger than usual. As the true energy continued to erupt, the hair on his head stood upright, and the true energy in his ancestral orifice also surged forth. Xuan Qi felt that these true energies were transmitted along his hair to the fire-attributed 'jade' stone on top of his head.

  As the two pieces of jade flew out of his hands and floated in mid-air, Xuan Qi used his stiff arms to grab another two pieces, continuing to channel true energy into them with a single mind. Before long, one piece on his head flew up into the air, followed by the ones in his hands.

  It's done! The most critical step of the plan has finally arrived, Xuan Qi grasped the five 'jade' stones in mid-air, and with a fierce shake of his arms, he sent the five 'jade' stones flying. Without any deviation, they landed precisely at the center of the four walls and the ceiling's 'flower'. In an instant, a heat wave surged, and the temperature slowly rose from minus twenty degrees to zero.

  Xuan Qi took a glance at the alarm clock, it was already 10:30, with ninety minutes left until four hours were up, and there were still six 'jade' stones on the table. Time should be sufficient.

  Xuan Qi didn't care that he was already drenched in sweat, and reached out to grab two pieces of wooden "jade" from the table, while placing a metal "jade" on his head. He launched three routes at once, piling up the formation array inside. Fortunately, all the "jades" only required one formation array to be carved, otherwise with Xuan Qi's current experience, he would definitely make mistakes in his haste.

  As the two pieces of wood attribute 'yù' stone float in the sky, and then were knocked into the east and west walls, the indoor temperature gradually returned to normal, with only half an hour left, and three pieces of 'yù' stone remained on the table.

  Xuan Qi's eyes flashed with madness, his face deathly pale, and sweat dripped like syrup. His clothes were already drenched in sweat, his head started to spin, and his body felt a kind of powerlessness after low blood sugar.

  He took out a handful of candies from his pocket and stuffed them directly into his mouth, chewing wildly. A flash of inspiration crossed Xuan Qi's mind, he removed the metal 'jade' stone on his head and placed it on the table, then picked up three brand new metal 'jade' stones, holding two in each hand, and put one on his head.

  Twenty minutes later, two metal 'jade' stones flew out of his hands and floated in mid-air, with only ten minutes left. Xuan Qi grabbed the 'jade' stones on the table and on his head, and ten minutes later, these two 'jade' stones also flew into mid-air. Then the second hand started counting down: Ten! Nine! Eight!……!!

  Xuan Qi suddenly jumped up, his hands grasped the 'jade' stone and struck it into the void. Then he pinched his fingers together to form a seal, and let out a loud shout: "Fixed!" The air in the room trembled, and the originally conflicting yin-yang spell array was instantly harmonized.

  Standing in the array, Xuan Qi felt a sense of comfort and relaxation throughout his body. His pores opened up, and spiritual energy surged in like a tidal wave, replenishing his depleted true energy and cleansing his impure body. Such a complex formation was actually resolved by Xuan Qi! The spiritual energy was indeed hundreds of times more abundant than the simple formations. Xuan Qi sat cross-legged on the meditation mat, slowly entering a meditative state. The room was filled with spiritual energy, and a funnel-shaped spiritual vortex appeared in the sky, sweeping away all the spiritual energy within a thousand miles, combining it with the spiritual veins underground to nourish the young cultivator on the meditation mat.

  Even the fish in the aquarium at home were exceptionally lively, and those few old turtles that seemed to be about to 'enlighten' stretched their necks, opened their mouths wide, and began to slowly inhale and exhale towards the bright moon in the sky.

  The land of 'yin' evil has finally become a blessed place, 'Dongtian', a formation that was abandoned has become precious, and a little mysterious skill has brought blessings to the world. This is the technique of Xuanmen cultivators, and it is also the responsibility of Xuanmen cultivators.
