Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

【Qingmu Protection Array】

This set of high-level Spiritual Array can automatically release a layer of thick Qingmu to block all attacks.

In fact, Xu Zhangqing almost chose the offensive 【Wood Thorn Flying Array】, or another defensive one 【Thorn Counterattack Array】.

The Wood Thorn Flying Array can instantly launch sharp wood thorns, then ignite them with Fire Spirit Power; its might is imaginable.

The Thorn Counterattack Array can reflect a portion of damage, and combined with the Iron Wood Armor Technique which also has a counterattack effect, perhaps the two effects could stack.

It seems, no matter which set, they are all quite cost-effective.

But in reality, after Xu Zhangqing carefully pondered, he felt there was no necessity.

Both of these high-level Spiritual Arrays have relatively large drawbacks.

One requires controlling distance.

One requires close-quarters combat.

It's better to buy cheap incomplete spells and then use the system to repair them; instead, the cost-performance ratio is maxed out.

What's more, the Immortal Sect's points have already reached over 1600; submit a task once or twice more, and this year he will definitely be able to choose a High Rank Cultivation Method or spell.

Therefore, he ultimately chose the automatically triggered defense 【Qingmu Protection Array】.

Isn't there a famous saying.

What?

Because he's too afraid of pain, so he put all his points into defense!

……

……

Han Xin doesn't waste words either, beckoning: "Alright, give it to me."

Xu Zhangqing tosses his hand, throwing the Lightly Vitality Gourd over.

Upon receiving it, Han Xin takes out an extremely small carving knife from her own Storage Bag, which also has Spirit Patterns on it; it is obviously a Spirit Tool.

Then, right in front of Xu Zhangqing, the carving knife begins engraving the array pattern following the Spirit Patterns.

This is delicate work, requiring extremely strong concentration.

Xu Zhangqing sees it in his eyes, somewhat worried: "Aren't you drunk? Your hands won't shake, right?"

Han Xin rolls her eyes, says quite angrily: "You can question Nong's alcohol tolerance, but you cannot question Nong's professionalism."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing smiles embarrassedly, no longer speaking.

Letting the other party have a relatively quiet environment as much as possible.

If he speaks too much, causing the other party's hand to shake, that would be bad.

After all, this is his precious gourd.

Just like this, time passes minute by minute, second by second.

Half an hour later, on the surface of the Lightly Vitality Gourd, a rather exquisite array pattern appears.

Looking at it, it looks a bit like tree rings.

Immediately after, Han Xin takes out a second thing from her own Storage Bag.

At first glance, it seems to be a piece of blue crystal.

As a Wood Spirit Root, Xu Zhangqing can sense the rich Wood Spirit Qi inside.

Han Xin explains without raising her head: "This is a Qingmu Heart; once inlaid in the Array Eye, it can resonate with your Lightly Vitality Gourd."

Xu Zhangqing has heard of this thing; it seems the price is not low.

If purchased separately, it would cost at least thirty Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Worthy of a high-level Spiritual Array; the materials used are not simple either.

And the installation process of the Qingmu Heart is even more tedious than engraving the array pattern.

Xu Zhangqing thought that just inlaying it would be enough; unexpectedly, it took another incense stick of time before it was considered finished.

The Lightly Vitality Gourd at this moment, compared to before, has undergone significant changes.

This 【Qingmu Protection Array】 is very small; through engraving and guidance, it has already merged with the Spirit Patterns.

And the Qingmu Heart happens to be inlaid in the middle position of the Spirit Patterns.

As long as Spiritual Power or Spiritual Energy passes through, it will automatically trigger.

Han Xin introduces: "As long as there are Spirit Stones inside the gourd, or you inject Spiritual Power, this Spiritual Array can stay activated continuously, unless the Qingmu Heart on top shatters, otherwise it will not stop."

Xu Zhangqing asks: "How about the Defense aspect?"

Han Xin thinks for a moment: "At the same cultivation realm as you, a Metal Spirit Root can block for the time of a cup of tea, a Fire Spirit Root can block for the time of an incense stick; as for Earth Spirit Root……"

She doesn't finish her words, suddenly throwing the Lightly Vitality Gourd over.

Xu Zhangqing subconsciously catches it.

Abruptly, the Earth Spiritual Power in the surroundings becomes dense.

Then a "puff" sound resounds; the ground cracks open, a yellow sharp spike like a spring bamboo shoot breaking through soil emerges, stabbing viciously at Xu Zhangqing.

But at this moment, the surface of the Lightly Vitality Gourd lights up with a layer of blue flowing light.

The 【Qingmu Protection Array】 engraved on top actively triggers, immediately emerging a very thick square Qingmu in front of Xu Zhangqing.

The earth spike crashes heavily into it, emitting a "dong" sound.

But it didn't pierce through, only making this layer of square Qingmu tremble once, and that was all.

But it wasn't over; Han Xin raised her right foot, aimed at the ground, and stomped down hard, releasing even more Earth Spiritual Power.

The next second, centered on Xu Changqing, three more earth spikes emerged one after another, respectively aimed at behind and the left and right sides.

That is to say, except for the top of the head and underfoot, there were no more blind spots.

But Xu Changqing didn't suffer any harm; anything that approached would activate the array inlaid on the Lightly Vitality Gourd.

Immediately after, layer after layer of square Qingmu emerged, blocking the attacks from all directions one by one.

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: "Such strong defensive capability."

Han Xin said quite proudly: "This is a high-level array."

Although it's very small, and inlaid on a gourd.

But as long as the Qingmu Heart isn't damaged, there won't be any problem.

Xu Changqing said thoughtfully: "If one encounters Golden Core stage..."

Han Xin pursed her lips: "Then you just wait to die."

Cross-realm battles aren't non-existent.

It's just that to achieve it, one needs to combine multiple factors.

But in reality, Golden Core stage beating Foundation Establishment stage is very easy.

Just like humans stepping on ants, it's completely a crushing situation.

This array, Xu Changqing is currently very satisfied with it.

At least facing the same realm, one won't be too passive.

As for higher realms, same as what Han Xin said, just wait to die.

Han Xin lifted her chin, reminding: "One hundred sixty middle-grade spirit stones, no bargaining."

Xu Changqing naturally wouldn't be stingy, immediately taking out the spirit stones and yellow rice wine, handing them over.

Seeing the yellow rice wine, Han Xin's eyes brightened, her face beaming with a happy expression: "Finally can have a drink."

"Wait." Xu Changqing stopped her instead.

Han Xin's face fell, baring her teeth protectively like guarding food: "What are you doing?"

Xu Changqing was startled and took a step back, explaining: "It's getting late, you go back to the Spiritual Vein to drink, otherwise you'll have to sleep outside again."

Han Xin frowned, thought it over, reluctantly put down the top-grade yellow rice wine, picked up the top-grade spirit rice wine again, and walked toward the ink-colored flying shuttle while drinking.

She had to admit, Xu Changqing was right.

If it were spring or summer, sleeping outside for a night would be no problem.

But now it's autumn, the cold Qi is heavy, very unfriendly to Earth Spiritual Root.

Therefore, better to first return to the Earth Pulse Thirty-Eighth Layer, then drink as much as you want.

Xu Changqing stood at the wooden house doorway, personally watching Han Xin control the scarred ink-colored flying shuttle float up, then rush off toward the Spiritual Vein.

But not far, it suddenly plummeted down, making a "Bang" sound.

Fortunately after a while, the ink-colored flying shuttle flew up again, swaying unsteadily.

But not far it fell down again.

Then it began repeatedly taking off, plummeting... taking off, plummeting.

Xu Changqing saw it in his eyes, couldn't help but show a troubled expression, then said with regret: "The flying shuttle endured damage it shouldn't have at its age!!!"
