Chapter 149: Red Essence Ginseng Obtained

"Read the Formation Canon today!"

A wisp of clear sunlight came through the gaps in the dense branches of the giant tree above, falling on the ground and forming blurry circular light spots.

The old man lay on the lounge chair, closed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Cultivation can be without pills, but it cannot be without formations!"

"Formations are the most critical!"

"Have you ever understood them?" The old man slowly opened his eyes, turned his head slightly, and looked at He Pingsheng sideways.

He Pingsheng, who was standing by, shook his head, "Disciple has never been in contact with formations!"

He Pingsheng's formation level was almost equal to zero.

He knew how to fiddle with that first-tier defensive formation.

But for this thing, as long as you buy the materials for the first-tier defensive formation, people will give you a formation construction manual. You just place the materials according to the directions on the manual and finally start the formation disk.

This first-tier formation can be activated.

No formation knowledge is needed, just follow the pattern.

"I ask you!" The old man continued: "What are we cultivators most afraid of in cultivation?"

"Most afraid?" He Pingsheng had never thought about this question. He pondered for a few breaths: "Disciple is dull, I really don't know what I'm most afraid of? Is it an enemy?"

"Hehehe..."

The old man smiled: "What's scary about an enemy?"

"Just hide!"

"In this path of cultivation, what you fear most is the human heart."

"Whether you are cultivating inside the sect or traveling outside, not showing off your wealth is the most basic principle, but there are all kinds of birds in this world. Even if you don't show off your wealth, others are still thinking about you!"

"So formations are extremely important!"

"Defensive formations can protect yourself!"

"Spirit-prohibiting formations can prohibit others' spiritual sense from probing!"

"There are also illusion formations, warning formations, spirit-gathering formations, etc... The names of formations are countless and varied!"

"Besides formations, this talisman path, with countless complex talisman patterns drawn on one talisman, these talisman patterns and the principles of formations are actually connected!"

"Every talisman master is also a formation master!"

"Give me a cup of spirit tea, I'm dying of thirst!"

Biyun Laozu Tai Xu sat up from the lounge chair, reached out and took the teacup handed over by He Pingsheng, and drank it in one gulp.

Then he continued: "Not only talisman making, look at every treasure you have in your hand, whether it's a magic tool, a spirit tool, or a magic treasure, don't they all have restrictions on them?"

"Where do you think these restrictions come from?"

"This is also a variation of formations!"

"In this jade slip is some of my understanding of formations over the years!" Biyun Laozu Tai Xu didn't know where he got a jade slip and threw it to He Pingsheng: "For so many years, I have been cultivating while comprehending formations. Now I have reached the level of a fourth-tier formation!"

"Take it and comprehend it!"

"Hmm... seven days later, I will test you!"

"Go!"

He Pingsheng took this formation jade slip and returned directly to his side hall.

Comprehend formations?

Fine!

This is a good choice.

Because now He Pingsheng is under the old man's nose, no matter how much the old man says, no matter how much he says he has no interest in treasures, He Pingsheng doesn't believe it.

No matter what you say, I won't take out my treasures.

So, he won't take out the top-tier spirit-gathering pills to swallow.

At worst, I won't cultivate and will wait for you old man to die.

When you kick the bucket, it won't be too late for me to cultivate.

Anyway, it's a bottleneck period now.

Having formations to comprehend is something to do.

Do it!

After comprehending like this for three or four days, two streams of light swept across the sky and landed at the entrance of He Pingsheng's hall.

Yu Jiao ran over in a panic and said: "Biyun Laozu, someone is visiting!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Who is it?"

Yu Jiao said: "The Junior Uncles from Xiuzhu Peak, one is Junior Feng Shishu Zhao, and the other is Junior Feng Shishu Xu!"

He Pingsheng stood up from the ground and said: "Good, I'll go take a look!"

He walked out of the hall himself, opened the door, and welcomed Zhao Linger and Xu Kunlun in.

"Hey... damn it!" Xu Kunlun cursed with a dark face and sat down, saying: "Junior Sister Zhao and I went to Heijiang to help you look for that 【Red Essence Ginseng】. When we left, you were still my Lao Jiu, and when we came back, you became my grand-master..."

"Damn it!"

Zhao Linger also looked at He Pingsheng with a bitter expression.

He Pingsheng was very surprised: "Ah?"

"You two went to Heijiang?"

Originally, the three of them agreed to go to Heijiang together to look for that 【Red Essence Ginseng】. Later, He Pingsheng was taken to the Biyun Laozu's side, and Zhao Linger and Xu Kunlun didn't wait for him and went to Heijiang as a team.

Because they felt that He Pingsheng's cultivation was too low, it was better not to bring him.

"Hmm!" Xu Kunlun said: "Lao Jiu... oh no no no... Grand-master He, look what I brought you!"

Slap...

A jade box was thrown on the table by Xu Kunlun.

He Pingsheng glanced at the jade box without opening it, then looked up at Xu Kunlun, feeling slightly moved: "What Grand-master He, from now on we are still fellow disciples. You are my Wang Shixiong, she is my Qiao Shijie, and I am your Lao Jiu!"

Xu Kunlun grinned and smiled, saying: "That's more like it!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Is there really Red Essence Ginseng in that place? Is the guarding monster a giant python?"

"Yes!" Xu Kunlun frowned and said: "But it's not one, it's two!"

"I thought there was only one, so I lured the giant python away and let Qiao Shijie go to collect the Red Essence Ginseng!"

"As a result, there was another one hidden deep in the forest. Under a sudden attack, Qiao Shijie was injured."

"Ah?" He Pingsheng looked up at Zhao Linger: "Qiao Shijie, how is your injury?"

Zhao Linger's face was a bit pale, she smiled and shook her head, saying: "It doesn't matter!"

"The injury doesn't matter!" Xu Kunlun took over the conversation: "It's just a skin injury, but the giant python is poisonous. Although the toxicity is not strong, Qiao Shijie can't get rid of it for a while!"

"Wait for me!"

He Pingsheng walked into the back hall, then took a drop of 【Golden Bee Holy Paste】 and came back, giving it to Zhao Linger: "Drink it quickly!"

Zhao Linger didn't ask what it was and ate it in one gulp.

Then, Zhao Linger felt that the toxins in her body were cleaned up almost instantly.

"This..." She asked in shock: "Lao Jiu, what did you give me to eat?"

"The detoxification effect is too good!"

"Shhh!" He Pingsheng put a finger to his lips and whispered: "Don't let it out!"

"Do you two remember the nest of 【Tiger-Pattern Golden Bees】 we found in the Mystic Realm before?"

"Hmm hmm hmm..." The two nodded like garlic.

He Pingsheng whispered: "Later I went in and got a few drops of this Tiger-Pattern Golden Bee holy paste, but I got very little!"

"I'll give you two drops each later!"

"But I have a condition. You absolutely cannot tell anyone. If this thing gets out, it could cost me my life!"
