A large deep pit was dug out on the ground of the bamboo forest, and many mountain villa masters were on alert from a distance.
Taoist Lu Suo led others to stay outside at a distance, while Zen Master Sanyuan followed Lin Xin and stood in front of the pit. He quietly looked at the various sacrifices that were tied and struggling below.
Three oxen, ten male deer, two horses, a white ape, more than ten huge wild wolves, and a black python as thick as a forearm.
"Everything here has been prepared. What else does the owner have to say?" Zen Master Sanyuan looked respectfully at Lin Xin, who was one step ahead.
"It's none of your business. I'm just here alone. Take everyone away and put black cloth around them. I won't call you. No matter what happens or what sound is heard, don't get close, otherwise there may be someone.
Danger."
Lin Xin said calmly.
"yes."
Zen Master Sanyuan didn't ask what Lin Xin was planning to do, and just honestly led the several masters who had just carried the sacrifices around him towards the distance.
The surrounding area of tens of square meters was surrounded by black cloth as a curtain wall.
Lin Xin stood alone in the center, holding a red flower sword in his hand, the blade slowly unsheathed.
The black and red sword was completely empty, with no formation patterns at all.
Lin Xin turned around and walked to a desk set up at the back. On the desk were placed the materials and blood ink sent by Huang Shi's people in the past few days.
After Lin Xin took care of it with his own hands, he completed all the preparations for engraving the array patterns, and that was all that was on the desk in front of him.
"I have successfully practiced the formation once last night. It should be fine. What needs to be noted is that after the sacrifice fire is activated, the formation will cover the range of the sacrifice."
He stretched out his hand and picked up the thick black inscription pen, which was a set of equipment for drawing formations that he bought at a high price from the Zongmen Market. If he hadn't killed someone and robbed some jade tokens and money during the mission, he probably would have had to ask Kong Yuhui
They borrowed money.
The inscription pen looks like a large brush with a very thick and long barrel, except that the black vellus hair is not made of animal hair, but metal wire.
I picked up the pen and dipped it in the special ink.
Lin Xin placed the red flower sword on the desk and began to calligraphy and painting lightly.
It was like a whirlpool. It contained many twisted symbols that looked like human faces, and slowly appeared in his writing.
Lin Xin's hands moved with precision and frightening stability. In contrast, there was almost no sweat on his forehead. It was as if calligraphy and painting were as easy as eating and drinking.
On the body of the Red Flower Sword, which is less than the width of a palm, runes the size of fingernails slowly began to appear one by one, and as the number of runes increased, more and more runes appeared.
As time went on, Lin Xin's complexion finally changed slightly, and he turned slightly pale. It seemed that he had consumed too much energy.
"Huh" he drew all the sword blades on the front in one breath, and Lin Xin stopped for a moment. Lifting the Red Flower Sword, he saw that there were hundreds of formations densely packed on it, covering the front of the sword like hundreds of weird faces.
.
"If you want to penetrate the ink into the inner layer of the metal, the internal energy consumption is still quite large." Lin Xin sighed. He looked at the sky, sat down and slowly adjusted his breath, and took a Qi Transformation Pill.
This formation must be painted in one go, otherwise the longer it goes without being activated, the greater the negative impact on the material of the Red Flower Sword. With so many formations concentrated on an ordinary sword, Lin Xin would be afraid if it took a little longer.
Will the Red Flower Sword explode directly?
Just like those blank sheets of paper used to practice formations.
After resting, he continued to draw the reverse side.
About an hour later.
He put down the inscription pen with satisfaction, picked up the blade and looked at it front and back. There were exactly 222 densely packed formations.
He didn't dare to be negligent, and there was no need for any testing, because the skill was guaranteed to have a 100% success rate. Lin Xin didn't need to test whether there was a broken formation on the sword, he just quickly walked to the edge of the pit with the sword in hand.
Look at the densely packed various offerings below.
"As long as the living and dead are not used as sacrifices, the summoned creatures should not be the most dangerous things. The number of sacrifices can also affect the level and direction of the summoned foreign creatures. I use these living creatures as sacrifices to attract.
There may be some viciousness in the creature, but it shouldn’t be too much.”
Whoosh!
He suddenly raised the red flower sword and hung it over the pit.
The inner energy is instantly injected into the more than two hundred formation runes on the sword.
The sword body suddenly vibrated, and a large number of formation symbols on it were activated by the inner energy one by one. They bloomed with red light one by one.
laugh!
In an instant, countless red threads suddenly lit up from the sword, like living creatures. A large number of red threads slowly flew out of the sword, flew over the pit, condensed, and weaved together.
The red light reflected on Lin Xin's face, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly.
Above the deep pit, a large number of red threads are quickly condensing into a huge ball of red thread, as big as a human head.
The string ball was rolling, like some kind of creature, gradually emitting a beating rhythm like breathing.
"Comply with the contract and enjoy the sacrifices. The following is the sacrificial inscription." Lin Xin whispered in ghost language and recited a sacrificial injunction to match the formation.
A sound like murmuring in sleep came from his mouth.
Chant along with the voice.
The red thread ball above the pit quickly condensed.
Click!
With a sudden explosion, the string ball exploded, and a bloody vortex like a portal appeared inside.
A blood-colored vortex more than one meter wide floated in front of Lin Xin. There was a large amount of blood-colored liquid rotating at high speed, and in the center was an unfathomable black tunnel**.
Lin Xin just glanced at the cave and felt a little dizzy and didn't dare to look any further.
The vortex shed blood light and illuminated a large number of creatures in the pit. All the sacrificed creatures immediately stopped struggling and slowly melted, turning into streams of blood rising into the sky and flowing into the elliptical vortex.
Blood and water kept rising into the sky for several minutes.
Lin Xinping raised his long sword, and the numerous bloody patterns on the sword became brighter and brighter, and the red light became increasingly dazzling as the vortex absorbed the sacrifices.
He kept reciting ritual words that he did not understand the full meaning of.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger
"It's about to begin." Lin Xin's heart tightened and he quickly gathered his energy, leaving only one formation still active.
This was the plan he had thought up before. He would first use a large number of formations to lure enough creatures from the outside world, then stop the other formations instantly, use only one, and finally offer a sacrifice. This would get all the creatures attracted by the large number of formations.
Among the creatures that come, the most powerful one will favor it, and it will naturally suppress other creatures and become the object of its contract.
Just as he was condensing his energy in the formation, Lin Xin suddenly felt as if a large number of evil and angry gazes were shooting out of the whirlpool in front of him, staring at him.
The blood-red vortex began to twist violently, and many waves continued to rise, as if something wanted to rush out from the inside.
Lin Xin felt that the red flower sword in his hand began to tremble violently.
In an instant, he felt three powerful gazes shooting out from the whirlpool and falling on him.
"There are three creatures that are evenly matched!?" His heart moved slightly. He did not panic. Instead, he calmed his mind and carefully felt the appearance of these three existences.
Following the inexplicable spiritual induction, he looked at the first creature in the vortex.
A strange man with black tattered bandages all over his body was looking at him through the vortex with a huge red one-eye. Black poisonous smoke was still floating around his body. There were two weird lion-like creatures crawling beside him at his feet.
The second one is a white elephant with three trunks. The only difference between it and ordinary elephants is that its mouth is full of ferocious fangs of carnivorous creatures. The canine teeth are intertwined and mixed with a lot of minced meat and blood clots that have not been cleaned up.
The third one was a small crumbling red flower, only the size of a palm. But around its roots, there was not a single other plant within a radius of tens of meters, and there were also the corpses of many small animals.
Under the gaze of three spiritual eyes, Lin Xin gently turned the sword.
"The first one looks too ferocious at first glance. I may not be able to suppress it, and it does not fit my image of a righteous monk. In the same way, the second one is also the same. It is too ferocious. Only the third one is.
It just fits the name of my Red Flower Sword."
Lin Xin instantly disconnected the other two and looked at the third red flower.
"It happens to be a red flower too. Are you also attracted by the name of my Talisman Sword?"
He asked with a smile.
Under determination.
laugh!
In the center of the vortex, a red light suddenly shot out from the extremely deep black hole and fell on Lin Xinjian.
The vortex naturally collapsed and disappeared.
Everything returned to normal instantly.
The red light disappears, the sacrifice disappears, the vortex disappears.
Lin Xin was left alone standing by the pit, holding his sword flat and watching the red formations on the sword slowly twist and merge.
After a long time, the red formations on the sword slowly stopped, and more than two hundred fire sacrifice formations were finally connected together.
Putting away the red flower sword, Lin Xin gently bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood on the sword body.
He stretched out his index finger, circulated his inner energy, and slowly began to write and draw patterns on the sword, moving quickly along the patterns.
After a while, all the formation patterns on the sword were scratched by him.
Soon, as his index finger moved, the blood on the sword was quickly absorbed into the formation patterns.
"The first level of blood essence art, the training was successful." Lin Xin nodded slightly, bit the tip of his tongue again, spit out a mouthful of blood, and repeated the action just now.
The second time he scratched the lines, he soon succeeded again, and his complexion turned slightly white.
The third time, his strokes began to slow down, and the internal force on his fingertips gradually increased.
It took him a long time to complete the third sacrificial training.
"That's enough of the Blood Essence Technique. I only have enough internal energy to complete the third level of sacrificial training. Even though the Red Flower Sword is much stronger than the Spiritual Light Shield, I should have no problem controlling it at this level."
Returning to the desk, Lin Xin took another Qi Transformation Pill and adjusted his breathing for a while. He used two Qi Transformation Pills as a reward for the competition at once.
After taking a short rest, Lin Xin raised the red flower sword.
"Now that the contract has been established, there is no sign of backlash. It seems that the red flower is not a too vicious creature. Now as long as you know its name, you can summon the synergy."
According to what was recorded on the sacrificial fire.
He slowly raised the sword and pointed it forward.
"Tell me your name"
He asked in a low voice in the translated ghost language. These were the only ghost words he had prepared, and he had asked Dongyue in advance before.
Immediately, the formation reflected a spiritual connection into his mind.
