Chapter 47

"This is a formation!"

Seeing He Pingsheng's expression, Zhao Linger explained with a smile: "Junior Brother doesn't know yet, this thing is very useful!"

He Pingsheng took a deep breath, his eyes flickered a few times, and he asked, "Sixth Qiao Shijie, what is this formation for?"

"Hey!" Zhao Linger pulled He Pingsheng in front of the formation, and he saw her casually take out a jade token and swipe it across the earthy-yellow formation light film, and the formation disappeared.

"Why is it gone?" He Pingsheng asked.

"Giggle..." Zhao Linger covered her small mouth and laughed, saying: "Junior Brother... it's not gone, I just turned it off!"

"Look!"

She picked up the jade token and swiped it again!

Hum hum...

The formation rose up again.

"Amazing, amazing..." He Pingsheng gave a thumbs up in shock.

"What's so amazing about this!" Zhao Linger explained: "We cultivators must be careful to protect ourselves. Although in the sect, everyone is brothers and sisters, and we have Master covering us, one knows a person's face but not their heart; the ones who can harm you most are often those closest to you!"

"The so-called 'one must have a heart to guard against others'; a formation is still necessary for a cultivator!"

"Look at mine, it's a first-tier 【Confinement Formation】!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Confinement Formation? What is its function?"

"The function is huge!" Zhao Linger said: "First of all, after this thing is turned on, it has a defensive function, which can prevent people from outside from entering or leaving your small courtyard at will!"

"Secondly, it can isolate a portion of spiritual sense, so that those with improper behavior don't secretly use their spiritual sense to peek!"

"Especially for us girls, we must protect ourselves well, otherwise we wouldn't even know if those old perverts were secretly peeking at us!"

While speaking, Zhao Linger's face even turned red.

He Pingsheng said: "Boys also need to protect themselves!"

"Pfft!" Zhao Linger laughed: "That's true!"

"By the way!" She suddenly lowered her voice and said: "Next door, under Master Wang Dun, there is a guy named Xu Kui, we all call him Brother Huang; this person loves to peek the most. He not only loves to peek at female disciples, but also likes to peek at male disciples; it's disgusting!"

"Junior Brother, you must be careful, it's best to get a formation like me!"

He Pingsheng felt a burning sensation in his heart.

Why?

The so-called anti-peeking was secondary; he needed to use pills for his cultivation, and the pills were top-tier. Once taken out, the fragrance would instantly spread out of the room. What if the brothers and sisters discovered it?

So, having been in the inner sect for almost half a month, He Pingsheng had not cultivated even once.

Sometimes he even wanted to go back to his home down the mountain to cultivate.

Now it was fine; if he could get a formation to cover his small courtyard, he wouldn't have to worry about the aura of the top-tier Qi-Gathering Pills leaking out.

"Qiao Shijie!" He Pingsheng said sincerely: "How is this formation set up? Could you teach me?"

"Heh..." Zhao Linger said: "This is simple; you go to the Treasure Hall and buy a set of 【Confinement Formation】 materials, and just set it up and activate it according to the formation map!"

"A first-tier formation can be done in half a day!"

"Okay, thank you Qiao Shijie!" He Pingsheng handed over the pills, received the receipt, and then left.

Coming out of Zhao Linger's small courtyard, he went straight to the Jade Dragon Peak Treasure Hall.

In the Treasure Hall, He Pingsheng found the formation materials.

The materials for the first-tier 【Confinement Formation】 included one formation disk, sixteen formation flags, two formation talismans, and one formation map.

Total price: two hundred and eighty spirit stones.

Hiss...

He Pingsheng gasped.

Good heavens!

It really is expensive.

He now only had two hundred and ninety-four spirit stones left.

That is to say, after buying these Confinement Formation materials, he would be completely empty.

To buy or not to buy?

Of course he had to buy it.

How could he cultivate with peace of mind if he didn't buy it?

"Senior!" He Pingsheng took the formation materials to the counter, looked at an old man behind the counter, and said respectfully: "Junior would like to ask, can an ordinary person set this up?"

"Hmm!" The old man said gently: "No problem, it's just a first-tier formation, it doesn't require any formation foundation. Just place the formation disk and formation flags in the specified positions according to the layout on this formation map!"

"If any problems arise during the activation process, you can come to us at any time!"

"Okay!" He Pingsheng poured out all the spirit stones in his bag.

After paying, only fourteen low-tier spirit stones remained.

Returning to his courtyard, He Pingsheng picked up the formation map.

There were instructions on the formation map!

How to place the formation disk, where to place each formation flag, how to support it with spirit stones, how to activate it, and how to enter and exit.

And so on, all had detailed introductions.

After reading it, He Pingsheng's eyes narrowed slightly: Should I reinforce it?

It's very necessary!

Not long after, a noisy sound came from outside the courtyard.

He Pingsheng put all his things into his dantian and then walked out of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard gate, all the brothers and sisters were there, and Zhao Linger was explaining something to a cold-faced Daoist nun in a moon-white robe!

"Qiao Shijie, what's wrong?" He Pingsheng was confused.

Zhao Linger said: "Junior Brother, did you just buy formation materials at the Treasure Hall?"

"Yes!" He Pingsheng nodded.

The cold-faced Daoist nun looked at He Pingsheng, smiled coldly, and said: "He Pingsheng, right? You have only been in the inner sect for less than a month, but recently you have been buying heavily at the Treasure Hall, spending over five hundred spirit stones in total!"

"I have come to ask, where did you get these spirit stones?"

"If you can't give a clear explanation, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

This...

He Pingsheng opened his mouth wide in shock: No way?

I just bought something, and I'm really being targeted?

Damn...

The Profound Heaven Sect is really going a bit too far.

"It's like this!" He Pingsheng said: "My spirit stones, on one hand, were left to me by my parents... on the other hand, I can also refine some 【Qi-Gathering Pills】. I previously sold them to fellow disciples through refining pills and earned some spirit stones. All the savings from these years add up to only five hundred or so spirit stones!"

"If you don't believe me, look!" He Pingsheng took out a pocket: "Only fourteen are left!"

"That's right!" Zhao Linger also explained: "Uncle-Master Feng, my Junior Brother really knows how to refine pills. My Master even said that he should refine five batches of 【Qi-Gathering Pills】 for my sect every month. If you don't believe me, I'll have Master explain it to you later!"

Daoist Nun Feng looked at He Pingsheng again and asked: "What about your parents?"

He Pingsheng said: "My parents were both outer sect disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect, and now they are both gone!"

"Oh!" Daoist Nun Feng nodded and said: "Very well!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Because He Pingsheng's parents were both dead, and this guy could also refine pills, she had no way to investigate thoroughly and could only stop there.

"It's okay, Junior Brother!" Zhao Linger comforted: "The sect is like this; disciples are often questioned. As long as the source of your spirit stones is not a problem, generally nothing will happen!"

"Oh..." He Pingsheng was calm on the surface, but secretly he learned a lesson.
