Chapter 373

"Then let's begin!" Seeing that all four had stood in their respective positions, Song Qingming was officially prepared to start breaking this formation.

Following Fang Wuqian's command under Song Qingming, he inserted the last formation flag in his hand into the northwest corner of the formation, and the spiritual energy in the middle of this pile of giant rocks immediately began to collide violently.

After the spiritual energy in the middle of the formation slowly weakened, Gao Yuyao, holding a black formation flag, quickly raised her jade hand and inserted the formation flag in her hand heavily into the middle of the formation.

After the spiritual energy in these two positions was locked by the formation flags, the spiritual energy around the entire stone block immediately stabilized slowly again.

"It's now, Fairy Duan, let's move the rocks together according to the positions I arranged." Just as Song Qingming finished speaking, he had already taken a step ahead to start moving a giant rock beside his feet.

Duan Xueyi, who had been prepared for a long time, was not much slower than Song Qingming. After tidying up the clothes on her hands, she immediately began to move a giant rock as well.

Because they couldn't touch the rocks with magic power, Song Qingming and Duan Xueyi could only rely on the strength of their own bodies to move the rocks. In this way, it was naturally much slower than moving them directly with magic power.

Fortunately, both were Foundation Establishment cultivators. After the marrow-cleansing and body-refining during Foundation Establishment, the physical bodies of Foundation Establishment cultivators had long since shed their mortal shells. Under normal circumstances, their hands could easily exert several hundred jin of force, so moving these one or two hundred jin giant rocks was no problem at all.

Originally, this kind of work of moving rocks should have been done by Fang Wuqian, the tall and strong man, but Fang Wuqian didn't understand the way of formations at all and might place them in the wrong position in the middle.

Song Qingming, in order not to delay time, thought about it and still arranged for Duan Xueyi to cooperate with him in moving these rocks.

This time he broke this formation using the relatively common method of attacking the formation's patterns. As long as you first find the weak position of the formation's attack, then find a way to temporarily lock the spiritual energy of the entire formation, and then reverse the patterns of this formation, you can easily paralyze this formation.

The patterns of the formation before them were engraved on these giant rocks under the feet of the four. As long as these giant rocks were moved away one by one and then rearranged according to the positions set by Song Qingming, the spiritual energy of the entire formation could be reversed.

This method was relatively cumbersome and troublesome, and it usually took a long time to successfully break the formation, but it was very easy to use. Since Song Qingming became a formation master, most of the formations he encountered could be broken using this method.

After a full hour passed, Song Qingming and Duan Xueyi carefully moved the giant rocks to the positions they had set.

At this time, Fang Wuqian and Gao Yuyao, who were still using their internal magic power to lock the formation's spiritual energy through the formation flags, had also consumed a large amount of magic power in their bodies.

"Two Fellow Daoists, we are done here. You can put away the formation flags!"

Following Fang Wuqian and Gao Yuyao withdrawing the formation flags in their hands one after another, the middle of the formation began to be filled with spiritual energy again and began to collide violently. The group also began to retreat to the side, carefully observing the movement of this formation.

However, this time, the operation of the formation seemed to have a situation; this spiritual energy was no longer locked in the formation but began to permeate into the pool water in all directions.

Sensing the changes happening before his eyes, Duan Xueyi bowed to Song Qingming on the side with a face full of joy: "Fellow Daoist Song truly has extraordinary skills. To have broken this formation so quickly, in the future if there is an opportunity, I must ask you for advice on the way of formations."

"Fairy Duan is too polite. This is just my good luck that I happened to have seen a similar formation before. Otherwise, based on my formation level, it would be impossible to have a way without ten days or half a month."

Although Gao Yuyao and Fang Wuqian didn't have much interest in the way of formations, they had already heard the news they wanted to hear from the two of them: this formation had been successfully broken by Song Qingming, and next it should be their turn to enter the cave dwelling together to search for spirit items.

After the spiritual power in the formation gradually became thin, Song Qingming stepped forward again, took out the black silver blade from his storage bag, and smashed the giant rock at the very front into powder with one slash.

Following the sudden disappearance of this giant rock, a burst of spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in the middle of the formation, slowly revealing a bluestone gate.

A layer of water-avoidance runes was added above this stone gate, blocking the icy pool water. Inside was a long corridor leading to a pitch-black place.

The four looked at each other, and Fang Wuqian was the first to lift his legs and enter, walking in the very front position.

Following closely behind were the somewhat anxious Gao Yuyao and Song Qingming, who had just led the four to cast spells to break the formation. Duan Xueyi observed carefully for a moment and then walked at the very end.

Fang Wuqian, who was walking in the front, took out the glowing round bead on his body again and illuminated the path for the four to move forward.

Although breaking the formation outside made everyone look down on the protective restrictions of this cave dwelling, at this moment, being in such a Core Formation cultivator's cave dwelling, there was still a possibility of encountering some dangers at any time. Even though their hearts were already extremely excited, the few still appeared unusually cautious on the road forward.

After walking about four or five zhang in this corridor, the front suddenly became bright and clear.

Fang Wuqian, who was walking in the front, slowly injected magic power into the round bead magic tool in his hand, and this round bead also slowly became more spiritual than before, illuminating the entire corridor.

The group suddenly saw a hall four or five zhang high and wide very clearly, and there were several gates around, looking like compartments for the former owner's pill room, medicine room, etc. It seemed that this cave dwelling was even a bit larger than they had imagined.

"Look quickly, does this thing seem to be a magic treasure?"

Following Fang Wuqian's loud shout in the front, Song Qingming and the others also followed and walked up immediately. Soon, under Fang Wuqian's lead, they arrived beside a reddish-yellow small tripod in the middle of the hall.

This reddish-yellow small tripod was only about the size of a palm, and the two characters "Baoguang" (Precious Light) were engraved on it.

Because the small tripod had always been placed in the hall as the formation eye, it still looked full of spiritual light, placed on a table on the right side of the hall.

Fang Wuqian, who arrived there first, reached out and soon took the small tripod into his hand, observing it carefully.

"This! Looking at the pressure above, I thought it was truly a magic treasure. It turns out I misjudged it."

After Fang Wuqian finished speaking, Gao Yuyao on the side took the small tripod into her hand and looked at it, then said to Duan Xueyi on the side with some surprise: "Although this Baoguang Tripod is not a magic treasure, there is still a trace of medicinal fragrance on it. It should be able to be used as a pill furnace for refining pills, and its value is also very high. It just so happens that both Senior Sister Duan and I can use it."
