It was quiet everywhere, and the dark army company camp was sleeping in the night.
Hearing such an answer, Xu Suisui was silent for a long time.
In the end, Wei Changtian was the first to speak and break the calm.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Let's get down to business."
"Um......"
Nodding slightly, Xu Suisui raised his head and looked at Wei Changtian, with a hint of admiration in his complicated eyes.
"Then what are we going to do next? I'll listen to you."
"You should have listened to me a long time ago."
Wei Changtian curled his lips and analyzed slowly:
"In addition to waiting for this person to show up on his own initiative, if we want to investigate, we can only start with Kongkong and Buddhism."
"But the problem right now is that it's hard to find skywatchers."
"He can eliminate the mark of thousands of miles of smoke, and there is no way to track his location."
"As for the Buddhist side...that's right."
Suddenly, Wei Changtian seemed to remember something.
"You asked the Buddhists to help you fight the war before, and you must have given them a lot of benefits."
"What's the deal between you?"
"this......"
Xu Suisui hesitated for a moment, and then answered truthfully:
"It's a Qi gathering array."
"Qi gathering array? What is this?"
"Well...it's a formation that can condense internal strength."
Without hiding anything, Xu Suisui quickly introduced the Qi Gathering Formation to Wei Changtian in detail.
And the expression of the latter becomes weirder the more you listen to it.
Because doesn’t this sound like the tomb under the phantom formation of Yun’an Temple?
The lotus pond, the corpse of a Buddhist monk, contains a golden relic that is suspected to be a first-grade internal power...
No problem, they are the same thing!
"so......"
Wei Changtian came to the conclusion without interrupting Xu Suisui. He waited until the latter finished speaking before frowning and saying:
"You agree with the Buddhist sect to build a particularly large Qi gathering array underground in Xinfeng, and establish Buddhism as the state religion, so that a large amount of incense can be continuously delivered to the array."
"And the condition is that Buddhism sends people to help you fight the war."
"Is this the deal between you?"
"Well, that's about it."
Xu Suisui nodded: "This is also the reason why the Buddhists did not leave even after the battle was over."
"The core of this Qi Gathering Formation is under Fengyuan City, and they must be guarded at all times."
"I see."
Tapping the table thoughtfully, Wei Changtian thought for a while and then asked:
"How many such Qi gathering arrays are there in total?"
"Not sure."
Xu Suisui shook his head: "But Xinfeng is definitely the biggest one."
"Then the internal power condensed by this thing can really allow people to break through to the first level?"
Wei Changtian was a little skeptical: "If it was really that simple, shouldn't someone in Buddhism have made a breakthrough long ago?"
"Theoretically it's possible, but the quantity required is huge."
Xu Suisui explained: "And because the golden relics used in each formation come from different eminent monks, the internal force generated by different Qi gathering formations will be slightly different and cannot be mixed together."
"This means that if you want to use this kind of internal force to break through, you need to absorb the energy generated by a Qi gathering array."
"But the Qi gathering arrays built before by Buddhism were too small. It would take hundreds of years to accumulate enough internal energy to break through."
"If something unexpected happens during this period, all the efforts will be wasted."
"That's why the Buddhists want to build a particularly large one, so that the process of condensing internal energy can be greatly shortened."
"Well...can you understand what I say?"
"Understood."
Wei Changtian nodded, thinking that the inner power in the golden relic could really enable a person to break through to the first level.
However, the quantity contained in my own coin is not much, so it is too much to specify.
"This Qi Gathering Formation is so awesome, doesn't it have any side effects?"
Looking up at Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian asked casually: "If there is no such thing, Buddhism can just find any country to build an army. Why bother to help you fight?"
"It's precisely because Xinfeng is fighting."
Xu Suisui sat down opposite Wei Changtian and replied softly: "Think about it, building such a large formation is bound to cause a lot of noise. In other countries, it would have been discovered long ago, and then the secret of the Qi gathering formation will be revealed."
I won’t be able to hide it”
"But Xinfeng is different."
"At that time, Xinfeng had not only just established the government, but also encountered a major war. The whole country was in chaos. At this time, the formation of the formation quietly would not be noticed."
"As for the side effects...actually there are some."
Xu Suisui lowered his head: "Because the Qi Gathering Formation is about condensing internal energy, the true energy of heaven and earth within the range of the formation will be much weaker than in other places. Naturally, martial arts training will be much slower."
"Other than that there's no harm."
"Is it?"
Wei Changtian raised his eyebrows with a playful expression.
He didn't doubt Xu Suisui's words, but...
"So you're just using the future of all warriors in Xinfeng in exchange for Buddhism taking action?"
"Then I don't understand."
"You worked so hard to create such a new thing, but in the end you don't care about such a major matter as the concentration of Qi, which is related to the fate of a country."
"What on earth do you think?"
"Because I had no choice at the time..."
Xu Suisui sighed helplessly: "Well, you were still in Liangzhou at that time, and the only people who could help me were Buddhists."
"Besides, I'm actually doing this for you."
"for me?"
Wei Changtian glared: "Don't blame me! What does it have to do with me?"
"You can use the internal power of the Qi Gathering Formation to break through to the first level."
Xu Suisui blinked: "If you want to go back, you have to become an immortal. Before you can become an immortal, you must first be at the first level."
"I've done the math. If I save up more system points, I should be able to help you get a real dragon forehead scale."
"It's just that dragon scales are best used to become immortals, so we have to find a way for you to break through to the first level."
"This Qi Gathering Formation is a good idea."
"I originally wanted to wait until the time was almost right before I told you."
"Then let's steal the golden relic together..."
His cheeks flushed slightly, Xu Suisui became more and more excited as he talked, but Wei Changtian was stunned.
He really didn't expect that the ultimate goal of Xu Suisui agreeing to build the formation with Buddhism was to allow him to break through to the first level.
"how about you?"
Suddenly, Wei Changtian stared at Xu Suisui and asked, "You gave me the system points to replace the forehead scales. How do you go back?"
"Oh, the props to go back cost 10,000 points. I definitely won't be able to get it."
Xu Suisui's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment, but he soon pretended to smile relaxedly.
"But five thousand points of forehead scale should still be enough."
"I can't practice anyway, so I might as well help you."
"This way at least the two of us can go back together."
"How about it, I think it's interesting!"
At the end, perhaps because he didn't want Wei Changtian to feel he was indebted, Xu Suisui even patted him on the shoulder carelessly.
"Comrade Wei! No need to thank me!"
"Just think of it as repaying your life-saving grace!"
"..."
I definitely can't go back anyway, so I might as well "go bankrupt" to help you go back...
It's hard to say whether Xu Suisui would help Wei Changtian like this if she had a chance to save 10,000 system points.
But at least her current attitude is very sincere and doesn't seem fake.
But now it seems that Xu Suisui's "self-sacrifice for others" did not receive the "gratitude" Wei Changtian deserved.
With a "click" sound, he slapped the small hand on his shoulder away. Wei Changtian took out the gold relic from his arms and put it on the table with an expressionless face, and then said calmly:
