The two entered from the crater. Although the temperature was very high, it was unable to affect the monk's body.
Not long after the fall, in a cave inside the volcano, Hou Zi met the main leader of the trip, the Taoist companion of the Hu Taoist, the newly promoted Nascent Soul of Zhonglang, Zhenren Li.
Zhenren Li looked up and down at the monk in front of him, hesitating in his heart.
Judging from the realm of cultivation, this person is in the late stage of Jindan and has profound cultivation. You can clearly feel the surging mana in him. This is very common among outside anchor chain monks.
But what he doesn't like is this guy's Taoism. It's not that he has any prejudice against sword cultivators, but that what Jianmai has learned is very limited in terms of fighting Taoism. They are a group of people who are strong in combat but lacking in other side sects.
Guys, Zhonglang now not only needs monks with sufficient level of cultivation, but also needs them to be involved in the Five Elements of Formation.
It's a bit embarrassing, because there was an accident during the operation of the previous formation. Several human stakes unfortunately disappeared and were urgently needed to be replaced. However, the current situation in the mainland makes it difficult to find people with sufficient cultivation and a little understanding of the Five Elements and the formation, so
Over the years, the operation of the formation has been very limited in terms of numbers, so Zhonglang's own disciples have to be the ones to take over, which greatly delays personal practice.
People with some skills are making the final sprint. Who would waste this important time window just for resources?
Just when he was hesitating, Taoist Hu suggested, "Husband, you think most sword cultivators don't understand the formation path or the five elements, but that's for our beautiful sword veins. If it's a monk from the anchor chain, maybe it's still possible."
Is there a difference? After all, their Taoism has more foundation than ours in terms of inheritance, and this is also a fact."
Li Zhenren nodded, "Then give it a try. If you don't understand the Five Elements at all and don't understand the formation, then it's useless for such a person to come."
He raised his head and looked at the sword cultivator, "I'll give it a try, and you can try to decipher one or two."
He raised his hand and pointed in the void, and a simple magic circle retreated forward. It was not powerful at all. A normal monk could break it with one blow, but this was not the case with brute force. He needed to understand the secrets of the magic circle to break it skillfully.
Of.
Hou Tzu was not polite. He was indeed not very proficient in the art of fighting, but it was not that he knew nothing but was not good at it. He made a false move with just a few fingers, and he completely broke the magic circle.
Judging from his responses and attacks, his techniques were far from being superb, but they were quite satisfactory. He obviously understood the basic principles of the magic circle. This made Li Zhenren let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that what was coming was a man who only knew how to use a sword to kill people.
The reckless man.
"Okay, now that I know a little about the battle, I'll tell you what to do..."
Before he could finish speaking, the sword cultivator on the opposite side interrupted him without hesitation, "Others told me that rewards will be distributed before the formation is carried out?"
Li Zhenren and the Hu Taoist looked at each other. They didn't have such a rule. It was obviously a pie created by Dong Xianzi in order to deceive people; but there is no need to elaborate now. Let's gather the people first. As for the resources, give them to them.
Can he use it? It's just a different place to store it.
Knowing that sword cultivators are hard-tempered and difficult to talk to, Master Li felt that there was no need to block the road now. It would be too troublesome to find a suitable person. He really didn't want to waste time on this aspect anymore. At least this sword cultivator showed
It's very real and has no confusing purpose.
Smiling slightly, he threw a gourd over and said, "I, the Taoist priest of Zhonglang, will never wrong the friends who come to help me. Originally, half of these resources should be paid in advance. Since my Taoist friends are in urgent need, there is no harm in contacting you in advance."
Hou Zi took the gourd and said nothing more. As Li Zhenren continued to sink into the volcano, he descended another hundred feet and came to a very open underground lava space. Because the red magma overflowed, the entire space was as bright as day.
.
A huge five-pointed star array covers the molten magma, isolating the connection between the magma and the outside world. Only when you get closer can you feel that there is a very special Taoist realm in the surging molten magma, which is fire.
Characteristics of Lingzhu.
On the ten nodes of the pentagram, there are ten monks sitting cross-legged and operating the magic circle. Judging from their concentration, this is not an easy task. After all, it takes a lot of effort to suppress and restrain the Fire Spirit Orb with the magic circle.
Superb ability to manipulate formations and a deep understanding of the elements of fire.
Li Zhenren looked serious, "I will arrange for you to take over for one of the fellow Taoists later. Remember, you don't need to control the formation. You only need to provide enough mana support. Everything will be guided by others. Your most important responsibility is to cooperate."
.”
Hou Zi carefully observed the formation. It should be an inversion of the five elements to ward off fire. He had heard of it, but had never really seen it. Judging from the way the formation operates, it was not a beautiful way. Needless to say, it was just those from the upper realm.
The mysterious formation brought by the envoy.
Even so, he was still curious as to how these Taoists were able to imprison the Fire Spirit Pearl here and prevent it from moving with just their own strength.
Master Li pointed at the fire-proofing formation and gave a brief explanation. For a true practitioner, this is not a difficult matter. It can be understood in just one step.
An hour later, a monk who was at one of the five nodes of the five-pointed star array retreated. Hou Zi could clearly feel his relieved expression. It seemed that maintaining the operation of the array in this way still consumed a lot of the monk's mana.
Hou Zi pushed up and moved to the node. He immediately understood many situations that could not be observed outside the magic circle. From now on, he finally had the opportunity to get close to the Fire Spirit Orb.
Under the formation, so close.
This five-pointed star fire-proofing formation that inverts the five elements has ten nodes in total; among them, the five outer corner nodes of the five-pointed star are the key positions for controlling the formation. Hou Zi can clearly feel that each of the five Taoists in this position is
With profound cultivation, each is good at one of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Only in this way can we truly use the power of the five elements to imprison the fire element, instead of simply using fire to control fire.
The five inner corner nodes are purely for the sake of effort. Not only do they have to expend a lot of mana to maintain the operation of the magic circle, but they are also closer to the lava in the magic circle, which is also more dangerous.
This is the difference between presiding over the formation and working hard. For Hou Zi now, it is impossible to hand over the important position of the outer corner to him. It is not entirely due to his cultivation and Taoist realm, but also to the question of whether he is trustworthy.
.
But for Hou Zi, such a dangerous close distance is more to his liking.
Before he became familiar with the magic circle, he would not take any action that might arouse suspicion, so as soon as he entered the magic circle, he immediately guarded the formation and fully cooperated with the operation of the magic circle, without any arbitrariness.
Li Zhenren, who was observing from the side, nodded. This monk from Anchor Chain is still very reliable. He has a personality, but he is meticulous in his attitude towards practice. He is a very mature and responsible monk.
