Chapter 208

Liu Liu Xiaolou had the ability to judge the quality of earth fire. When he was at Jin Jin Tingshan, he was influenced by what he saw and heard, and learned three points from Tang Song and Diao Diao Daoyi. Looking at the color of the fire and feeling the temperature of the fire, he had a rough idea in his heart.

This was top-tier earth fire, one grade stronger than the Nine-Star Earth Fire of Star Deshan. He remembered that when he took Zhou Qingzhu to Star Deshan, Zhou Qingzhu praised the Nine-Star Earth Fire very much and had thought about opening a hut to live separately on Star Deshan. From this, one could know how good this Zhu Ming Cave Fire on Er Yue Peak was.

Such good earth fire, but it had been sealed for who knows how many years in vain. The Luo Fu Sect was truly wasting heaven's gifts!

However, they had a large family and a big business; perhaps there were many places with earth fire of this quality?

"This fire is very good!" Liu Liu Xiaolou praised greatly: "I need some materials, please give me paper and pen."

Zhao Ru Yu said: "That's good... how do you plan to repair it?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and asked cautiously: "Zhao Zhishi's meaning... keep the flaw that the formation operation is not smooth at dawn? Shall we make a trap?"

Zhao Ru Yu laughed: "You are very smart!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou lowered his body: "You are still the brilliant one..." His eyes turned, and he suggested: "I have two methods. First, after the thief enters the formation, let him lose track of time and produce a feeling of lingering and not wanting to leave, thus being trapped in the formation; second, arrange a killing formation in the formation to make the thief seriously injured, so that he can be captured."

Zhao Ru Yu encouraged: "Very good, you are indeed attentive."

Liu Liu Xiaolou apologized with a smile: "This is to correct my mistakes and perform meritorious service, isn't it? I have to do my best for Zhao Zhishi."

Zhao Ru Yu stroked his beard and pondered: "Is there any difference?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou said: "In the end, it is all to capture the thief who enters the formation. The former is an illusion array, simple and easy to refine. With Zhu Ming Cave Fire as the foundation, it will take less than a month to complete, and the required spiritual materials are not many, but I fear that it will still take some effort when capturing; the latter is a killing formation, which is not very easy to refine, and the materials used are relatively rare. It will take at least two months to refine, but it will be easy to capture the enemy..."

"The enemy is in the formation, already seriously injured?"

"Zhao Zhishi is brilliant!"

Zhao Ru Yu asked: "What kind of illusion array can make people linger and not want to leave?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou probed and answered: "It is an illusion array about the method of dual cultivation..."

Of course, he hoped to go down the mountain early to avoid long nights and many dreams. For these great sects, a small loose practitioner was not in their eyes at all, and life and death were only in a single thought. His safety could not be guaranteed at all. Heaven knew if any accidents would happen if he was detained on the mountain by the Luo Fu Sect for a long time. Therefore, he did not hesitate to take out his own unique illusion array, just to perform meritorious service and leave quickly.

Moreover, he had never refined a killing formation. He had only seen other array masters refine them at Jin Jin Tingshan. Although he understood them, he had never practiced them himself, so he had no bottom in his heart.

The most critical thing was that he could take back the pine resin essence and refine the Illusory Fragrant Tendons first. If Zhao Ru Yu had any bad intentions, he would have the most important means of self-preservation.

Zhao Ru Yu pursued: "Method of dual cultivation?"

Liu Liu Xiaolou said: "The illusion will be very beautiful, and it will definitely make the person entering the formation feel ripples in their heart..."

Zhao Ru Yu frowned and shook his head: "No, it's too vulgar, not something a great sect would do! If it spreads out and says that there is such evil in my Luo Fu Sect's array formation, the reputation will be ruined, and no one can afford to take the blame!"

He slapped Liu Liu Xiaolou on the head again and scolded: "Put away those ghost tricks of you wild cultivators. This is Luo Fushan, not those wild chicken mountains of yours, ha!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou was slapped until he was dizzy and had to admit his mistake in a hurry: "It is my shallow knowledge. I understand. Then refine a killing formation, um, a killing formation!"

So Zhao Ru Yu found paper and pen and let Liu Liu Xiaolou list the spiritual materials. Liu Liu Xiaolou spent a day conceiving a killing formation and listed the required spiritual materials accordingly.

In fact, it was not his conception. He was just copying others, based on an array plate refining plan reported by Xing Xing Bujiu back then, and took it out after slight changes, removing the difficult points he couldn't refine, and simplifying it.

Although the Earth Gate Formation looks like an earth-element array, the eye of the formation is actually water-attributed. Xing Xing Bujiu is proficient in water-element arrays, so it is just right to take it out and use it.

Zhao Ru Yu warned: "This is your last chance. See if there are any mistakes. These spiritual materials are worth a lot. If you make a mistake, you will only have your life to pay for it."

Liu Liu Xiaolou was scared into grabbing the list back to re-examine it. After careful consideration, he added the weight of certain spiritual materials, such as gold leaves, large king lotus seeds, water-milk quartz, spring source essence jade, etc., each adding one portion.

Zhao Ru Yu's eyelids jumped wildly when he saw it, not allowing him to add any more, grabbed the list, turned, and left.

This spiritual material list of Liu Liu Xiaolou was divided into four batches, seven types in the first batch, five types in the second batch, eight types in the third batch, and nine types in the fourth batch, totaling twenty-nine types. If refined successfully at one time, the value of the spiritual materials would be between forty and fifty spirit stones, but he added two to three times the amount, so the total price went directly to over one hundred. Even if Zhao Ru Yu was a mountain-patrolling deacon of the Luo Fu Sect, he couldn't just take it out, so he must go to report to the sect.

Liu Liu Xiaolou waited patiently by the Zhu Ming Cave Fire, observing the changes in the earth fire and familiarizing himself with the fire situation first. After two hours, he couldn't help but nod to himself. The quality of this earth fire was truly good. Not only was the fire temperature extremely high, but it was also quite stable. It was no problem to surpass the earth fire of Star Deshan, and it was even three points better than several earth fires of Jin Jin Tingshan.

The higher the fire temperature, the less true qi was consumed, and the more stable it was, the easier it was to control.

In addition, the Zhu Ming Cave Fire also faintly carried a few points of elegant pine fragrance, not knowing if it was the characteristic of the earth fire itself or because it was close to the ten-thousand-year-old pine.

Refining Illusory Fragrant Tendons did not require earth fire. Liu Liu Xiaolou refined it with the Profound Truth Art, but if he added the Zhu Ming Cave Fire here, perhaps the strength could be three points more overbearing.

Coming out of this dilapidated pavilion, it was already dusk. A mountain wind blew, rolling in a rain cloud, covering the already dim sky. Soon, Luo Fushan was shrouded in heavy rain.

Liu Liu Xiaolou took a few steps back, hid under the pavilion to avoid the rain, and looked at the mountain scenery shrouded in heavy rain, almost unable to see ten feet away.

His heart stirred again. If he wanted to escape, this should be a good opportunity, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't dare to implement it. He waited under the broken eaves of the pavilion until the second half of the night, until the clouds gathered and the rain stopped, and the full sky of stars twinkled again.

Zhao Ru Yu returned with the first batch of spiritual materials. This batch of spiritual materials was not difficult to find, mainly based on the most basic five metals and eight stones. The spiritual materials were all double the amount, packed in a small bamboo box and placed beside Liu Liu Xiaolou.

After the inspection was completed, Liu Liu Xiaolou said: "Zhao Zhishi, then I will start. Please find the second batch of spiritual materials within half a month. Otherwise, if the time is missed, please don't blame me, Zhao Zhishi."

Zhao Ru Yu said: "You don't need to worry about the spiritual materials, ha. Just refine it!"

Liu Liu Xiaolou bowed slightly: "Zhao Zhishi, please untie the rope."

Zhao Ru Yu took off the Eight-Prohibition Rope from his body. So Liu Liu Xiaolou took a deep breath, sat cross-legged by the earth fire well for a stick of incense, took a piece of jade from the spiritual materials, and began to outline the talisman seal.

Zhao Ru Yu was watching beside him. He didn't understand the way of array formations, and since he started cultivation, he had rarely had the chance to see array masters refine array plates, so he couldn't help but be very curious.

Only to see Liu Liu Xiaolou holding the jade, his fingertips pointing in the void, and silk-like powder could be faintly seen splashing on the jade. Although he didn't understand this way, he could see the skilled technique of Liu Liu Xiaolou's light and heavy, exquisite carving when engraving the talisman text, and the faint connection and broken but continuous meaning between the strokes, which was connected with the sword way, so his heart was put down by half.

This Li Mu was indeed a genuine array master!

He couldn't understand the doorway inside. After watching for a long time, he became impatient, got up and walked out of this pavilion, came to the side of Huang Long Ravine to size up the Er Yue Peak opposite, stood for a long time, circled around again, came to a relatively hidden rock, squatted down, stepped on it, the mechanism below opened, and he was trapped down, and then moved horizontally into the rock.

This rock was actually hollow, and several small holes were opened in several directions on the rock wall. For several months, he had been hiding here, paying attention to Huang Long Ravine not far away, and finally caught the "Li Mu" who sneaked into this place.

I don't know when I will be able to catch the person I really want to catch?
