The second-level formation mage from Kunlun Sect, for the first time, he really thought that he was hallucinating.
Immortal cultivators have limited energy. In addition to their own magic cultivation, it is already great to be able to practice one discipline intensively. For the other several paths, they can only be superficially dabbled at most. It is almost impossible for a person to be a second-grade alchemist and a second-grade alchemist at the same time.
Formation Mage, this is not like weapon refining and mechanism art, which have some similarities. Alchemy and formation techniques have nothing in common.
So this person is definitely not Li Yu.
He shook his head and whispered: "I didn't expect that there are such similar people in this world."
Li Yu saw the second-level formation mage from the same sect looking at him blankly, so he reached out and said hello to him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he put down his hand, the other person's eyes suddenly opened wide with an expression of disbelief.
"Are you Li Yu?"
"it's me."
This second-level formation mage from Kunlun was completely stunned.
Damn it, it’s really Li Yu!
The fact that he can get here shows that his formation skills have surpassed most of the second-level formation masters. In the entire world of immortal cultivation, there are not many people who can do this at the age of twenty, including those from the Huashan Sect and the Tiandao Sect.
Some genius disciples, who have been trained in formations since childhood, can also do it...
But don’t forget, this guy’s job is to be an alchemist!
Whose alchemist comes to Tiandao Sect to cross-border to participate in the second-level array magician competition? Isn't this ruining the scene?
Li Yu didn't know what the second-level formation master was thinking. The fourth-level formation masters were all sitting on the ground to rest. No one was competing with him for their position. He stood in front of the formation barrier for a while, stretched out his hand and touched a certain
At one position, mana poured into the formation, the formation disappeared, and he reached the fifth level.
Anyone who can enter the fifth level in a short period of time must be extremely familiar with the second-level formation, and quickly attracts everyone's attention.
"so fast."
"Did you find the formation so quickly?"
"He actually broke through three formations without rest. Isn't he tired?"
"This person looks familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere, but I can't tell where..."
"When you say that, I think he looks a bit familiar..."
These formation masters didn't pay much attention to alchemy on weekdays, so they didn't recognize Li Yu immediately.
The second-level formation master from Kunlun looked at Li Yu's back blankly. On the fifth floor, Li Yu actually broke into the fifth floor and was so relaxed. Could this formation be fake?
He reached out his hand unbelievingly and touched the formation. The next moment, his whole body was bounced back.
This made the expression on his face even duller.
Above the square at the foot of the mountain, a huge water curtain hangs.
Since the invention of Water Moon Technique, various sects in the world of immortality have used Water Moon Technique to project images during major events so that others can watch.
At every Immortal Dao Conference, the most attention-grabbing ones are the Alchemy Competition and the Dharma Cultivation Competition. Although the Formation Competition is not that popular, there are a lot of people watching. Anyway, the onlookers do not accept spiritual coins. Some people from Tiandao City,
They will also come here to watch the excitement. There are at least thousands of onlookers present today.
For a clearer projection, above the water curtain, there are only scenes after the fifth floor. At this moment, there are twelve people on the fifth floor, six of them entered the sixth floor, and the last two stopped on the seventh floor.
.
The disciples of these three levels, without exception, all come from Tiandao Sect and Huashan.
It can be clearly seen that these two sects are far ahead of other sects in terms of formation methods.
At this time, there was a flash of light in the screen, and another figure stepped onto the fifth floor, which also triggered some discussions among the crowd.
"Finally, people from other sects came up."
"I wonder which formation master he is from?"
"So young and very good-looking."
"...Am I right? That person is Li Yu?"
"That's right, it's Senior Brother Li from the Kunlun Sect. Did he go to the wrong place?"
"Why is he, an alchemist, going to a place where second-level formation mages are competing?"
The people watching in the square could not hear the sound and could only watch the competition pictures, which were a bit boring. Li Yu's intrusion instantly caused the originally quiet crowd to become commotion.
Soon, people realized that Li Yu had not gone to the wrong place, nor could he have gone to the wrong place.
To get to that location, you need to pass four levels in a row.
"Could it be that he is not only a second-level alchemist, but also a second-level formation mage?"
"I've never heard of it..."
"Where are the Kunlun disciples? Let me ask a Kunlun disciple, is the Li Yu you sent really a second-level formation mage?"
"I am a disciple of Kunlun. I don't know when Senior Brother Li became a second-level formation master..."
…
In front of the fifth step, due to the obstruction of the formation, Li Yu could not hear the sounds outside, but was carefully watching the formation in front of him.
After the fifth level, there are obviously more changes in the formation. The formation eyes of this formation change very quickly. Even if it can be calculated, if the hand is slower, the position will change. However, it is an open-book exam, so there is no difficulty.
He pretended to calculate for a while, casually broke the formation eye, and reached the sixth floor.
This speed made the twelve second-level array mages on the fifth floor dumbfounded.
The formation on the fifth level was not the first level. The position of the formation eye changed very quickly. They were already dizzy when they broke through here. The opponent could break through the formation so quickly, so they obviously knew the formation extremely well.
After Li Yu arrived at the sixth level, the six people on the sixth level could not sit still.
They were still studying the formation and immediately walked to the formation. Li Yu was not in a hurry and stood at the end of the line, waiting quietly.
Several people tried one after another, but all ended in failure. Tiandao Sect's formation competition gathered the formation geniuses from the entire world of immortality. The difficulty of each level's formation was higher than the previous level. In a short time, they
It is impossible to break through the sixth level of formation.
When all six of them failed, Li Yu stood in front of the formation. After a moment, he stretched out his hand and took a step forward, reaching the seventh level.
Several people on the sixth floor spoke in disbelief.
"Who is this person? He can break the formation so fast. Is he from the Huashan sect?"
"I thought it was from your Tiandao Sect..."
"It's not Huashan or Tiandao Sect. Where did he come from?"
…
After stepping onto the seventh floor, Li Yu sat cross-legged on the ground and took two pills to restore energy and rejuvenate the spirit, looking like she was exhausted.
Although he hasn't revealed it yet, he still has to pretend, otherwise it will be too much.
This scene also gave everyone a little comfort.
A second-level alchemist who breaks into the sixth level of the second-level array master competition. If he doesn't even take a break, he's really off the mark...
The two people on the seventh floor, one a young man from the Tiandao Sect and the other a young man from the Huashan Sect, saw a stranger breaking into the seventh floor. After being surprised for a moment, they closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing without being affected too much.
.
Li Yu was the latecomer and took the lead. The two people did not start to break the formation, and he was not in a hurry.
The young man from the Huashan Sect, after adjusting his breath for a quarter of an hour, walked to the formation, looked at the formation for a long time, and finally pressed his right hand on a certain position in the formation, successfully entering the eighth level.
The disciple of Tiandao Sect followed closely behind and also entered the eighth level. This level of formation was also not difficult for them.
After they entered the eighth floor, Li Yu waited for a while before following them in.
"It's the eighth floor, and Li Yu is also on the eighth floor!"
"Yang Jia is a disciple of a fourth-level formation master. Li Jingcheng is also an unparalleled formation genius in Tiandao Sect. Li Yu, an alchemist, can actually keep up with their speed in breaking formations..."
"It's really outrageous..."
Jiang Li and Xu Qingxin stood in the square. When they saw the figure in the water curtain, they looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
As the people who know Li Yu best in the world, they don't know when Li Yu learned the formation.
Xu Qingxin was also puzzled. Who was the person she recruited from Baiyun Temple to Kunlun as an exception? Except for his talent in cultivation, he was good at everything else...
…
At the ninth-level formation, Li Yu had been waiting for an hour, but there was no movement from the two people from Huashan and Tiandao Sect.
He couldn't wait any longer. After all, Jiang Li, Zhou Zixuan and Senior Sister Xu were still waiting outside. He originally planned to watch the competition for a while and then take them shopping, but now he has been delayed for several hours.
He was the first to walk to the formation on the ninth floor, pretending to look here and there, and then quickly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the fast-moving formation eye. His magic power exploded, and he easily stepped into the tenth floor.
layer.
If he breaks the last formation, he will be rewarded with ten Pulse Extension Pills.
No, not ten pills. If you get the first place in formation communication, the sect will reward you with ten pills. A total of twenty pulse-opening pills, so close at hand and at your fingertips.
Seeing that Li Yu had broken through the ninth level of the formation, the two formation masters from Huashan Sect and Tiandao Sect could no longer sit still. They wanted to break through the formation before they had had enough rest, but this ninth level
The formation was extremely complex, and it was difficult to calculate the position of the formation's eye. The more anxious they were, the less they could find it. After making several mistakes in succession, they became exhausted and collapsed on the ground, looking at Li Yu with puzzled eyes.
Where did this guy come from?
Their rhythm was completely disrupted by him. Without an hour's rest, there was no way they could break it a second time.
In this exchange of formations, they originally thought that the winner must be one of the two. Who would have thought that such a guy would appear in the middle of the exchange. They even doubted whether the other party was a third-level or fourth-level formation master in disguise...
The two people behind took a rest, and Li Yu also took a rest.
Another hour passed, and when the two of them started to break through the ninth level of the formation, he started to break through the tenth level. The first time he broke the formation, Li Yu failed on purpose, took two pills, and rested dejectedly.
.
This gave the two of them a little comfort that they still had a chance.
However, this ninth-level formation is really not easy. They tried it once and failed again.
Seeing Li Yu on the upper floor making another move, the two of them immediately became nervous, hoping in their hearts that he would not succeed.
But what happened was contrary to expectations. As soon as this thought came up in their minds, the figure easily crossed the steps and stood at the highest point.
The tenth level of the most difficult formation was also cracked by him!
At this time, the square below was also in complete uproar.
"No, Li Yu is the first one?"
"The first place in the formation master competition was taken away by an alchemist?"
"The formation geniuses from Huashan and Tiandao Sect are probably going to cry..."
"How much did Senior Brother Li learn without telling us?"
…
In the square, disciples from various sects were discussing one after another. Xu Qingxin and Jiang Li and Zhou Zixuan also stood there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.
Where several judges were sitting, the Kunlun golden elixir expert picked up a spirit snail and said excitedly to it: "Master Master, you would never have imagined that Li Yu actually won the first place in the second-order array mage competition...
…”
In the spirit snail, Wang Daoxuan said lightly: "What's so strange about this? With his level of alchemy, you should be so surprised if he didn't win the first prize..."
After a moment, his voice suddenly rose a bit, and he said uncertainly: "Which competition did you just talk about? Say it again?"
He suspected that he heard it wrong just now. Li Yu, a second-level alchemist, won the first place in the competition between the second-level formation mage?
What is the difference between this and the formation masters of the Huashan Sect who participated in the Kunlun Second Grade Alchemist Competition and won the first prize?
In the spirit snail, the Jindan elder said excitedly: "The master master heard it right, he is a second-level formation mage. In addition to his extremely high attainments in alchemy, Li Yu is also a master of formations..."
After a while, Wang Daoxuan put down the spirit conch with a trace of astonishment on his face.
But he soon figured out that Li Yu couldn't be proficient in formations. At his age, this was something he couldn't do. However, his magical "Qi Watching Technique" could see through all kinds of formations.
Formation eye.
It would be really difficult for him to refine the formation flag formation plate and carve the formation pattern, but it would be really not difficult for him to break the formation.
For those formation mages who have not cultivated the Five Spiritual Veins and do not understand the art of looking at the air, there are two conditions for breaking the formation. First, they must be extremely familiar with the formation and the changes in the formation eye. Second, they must have extremely fast calculation and reaction speeds.
, in order to calculate the real-time position of the array eye.
But in Li Yu's eyes, the formation eyes were placed there naked, and there was no need to understand the formation or do calculations.
A long time ago, Tiandao Sect modified the content of the formation competition in order to simplify the rules, but unexpectedly, Li Yu took advantage of the loophole.
The first place in the second-level formation mage competition was won by Kunlun disciples, which was the first time ever.
In the city of heaven.
Li Yu was the first to crack all the formations. The formation masters behind him saw that the first place had been taken away, so they were not in a hurry.
The formations on the ninth and tenth floors are extremely difficult. In previous competitions, it would take at least two days before anyone could break through them all.
Returning to Jiang Li and the others, they saw the three women looking at her with surprised eyes. Li Yu didn't hide anything, and said through a message: "Don't look at me like that. I actually don't know much about those formations. I just hope for luck."
It’s just a technique…”
The elder of the Golden Core Stage in Kunlun took Li Yu to a high platform, took a jade box from a stone platform, handed it to Li Yu, and said: "This is the reward for the first place in the second-order array mage competition. You
It’s put away…”
In the jade box were ten pulse-opening pills, which Li Yu accepted safely.
There is no unified award for the competition in the Immortal Dao Conference. The disciple who completes the competition first can take away his own reward.
There were three stone platforms here. Li Yu took away something from one of the stone platforms. Li Yu also glanced at the other two stone platforms.
On a stone platform at the edge, there is also a jade box, which contains twenty Tongmai Pills. This is the reward for the first place in the first-order array mage competition. On a large stone platform in the middle, there is a jade slip similar to
In addition, there is a small jade bottle next to the jade slip, which contains light blue liquid.
Approaching the jade bottle, Li Yu discovered that the alchemy furnace in his body began to produce a desire.
This desire is even stronger than when facing third-level spiritual herbs and elixirs.
Li Yu pointed to the jade bottle and asked curiously: "What is this?"
The Jindan elder smiled and explained: "This is a bottle of Yimu Spiritual Essence, which is a precious alchemy material. After the Wood Spirit Vein is completed, taking Yimu Spiritual Essence can greatly shorten the elixir formation time."
, its value is no less than a fourth-level elixir..."
Li Yu was a little surprised, "Why are you rewarded for this in the formation master's competition?"
Formation competitions, which reward elixirs for improving cultivation, or formation flags, formation disks, formation books, etc., are quite normal. This kind of spiritual essence is also very targeted, and there is something inside at a glance.
The Jindan elder smiled and said: "In the past third-level formation mage competitions, only formation flags and formation disks or formation secret books were awarded. This time, it was a third-level formation mage from Tiandao Sect who happened to need this
Spiritual Essence, and he is the leader among the third-level formation mages, with more than 80% chance of winning the first place in the competition, so he managed to add this reward, so that he can get it justifiably..."
This kind of operation is not unfamiliar to Li Yu.
The good resources of the sect are usually fought for by many people, and no one can be convinced by giving them to anyone. Setting them as competition rewards is the simplest method.
For example, the pregnancy pill he gave Jiang Li.
Another example is that the Master wants to give him the Pulse-Opening Pill, but he can't give it directly, so he goes around and doubles the reward for the second-grade alchemist, so that he can get the extra pills legitimately. These are all sects.
unspoken rules.
But to do this, you need to have enough confidence in your own strength. If you are not strong enough, you are just making wedding clothes for others.
It seems that Tiandao Sect's third-level formation mage is very confident in his own strength.
Kunlun, the golden elixir elder, is a formation master who knows a lot about the legal world. He said: "Although there are more formation masters above the fourth level in Huashan than in Tiandao Sect, the younger generation of formation masters in Tiandao Sect are stable.
The most powerful one in Huashan Mountain is Luo Yuan, the third-order formation mage. It is said that he received the formation inheritance from an ancient sect in a certain secret realm. He is the well-deserved number one third-order formation mage. This bottle of Yimu Essence was given to him by him.
Prepared by my son.”
He said with emotion: "Over the past few hundred years, Tiandao Sect has poached many geniuses from various sects. They also have to pick out the seedlings of immortal cultivators from secular countries. With this momentum, perhaps in hundreds or thousands of years, the Huashan Sect will
The title of the first formation sect is about to change hands..."
No wonder Li Yu discovered that the disciples of Tiandao Sect were significantly more than one level stronger than the disciples of other sects of the same age. The seeds with the best talents were picked out by them first, and other sects could only pick them up. In this way, his sect
His genius is still cared about by Tiandao Sect, and he will come to poach him from time to time. In this way, it is not surprising that Tiandao Sect is as strong as it is today.
Give those talented disciples and resources to Kunlun, and in a thousand years, Kunlun will also become the largest sect in the world of immortality.
Looking at the bottle of Yimu essence, Li Yu had some thoughts in his mind.
He is not doing it for himself. Senior Sister Xu cultivates the three spiritual veins, but currently only the water spiritual veins have formed the golden elixir, the wood spiritual veins and the fire spiritual veins should still be in the stage of compressing mana. The mana itself in the foundation building stage is in liquid form.
It is more difficult to compress. This bottle of Yimu Spiritual Essence will be of great use to her.
From Baiyun Temple to Kunlun, whether it was joining the sect, becoming an alchemist, or practicing, Senior Sister Xu had helped him a lot. Li Yu had always wanted to repay her, but had no chance.
He is too weak to help her.
It would be great if I could win back this bottle of Yimu Spiritual Essence and give it to her. This would be a small way of repaying her kindness.
However, in a third-level formation mage's competition, even if he can see the formation's eye, the mana at the foundation-building stage is not enough to break the formation, unless he can possess the mana at the golden elixir stage for a short period of time.
This kind of thing is not impossible.
Chen Ming was possessed by a ghost and his strength increased significantly in a short period of time.
Another soul in Zhou Tian's body awakened, and Li Yu, who was originally chasing him, had no choice but to run away.
After cultivating to the golden elixir stage, more than 90% of the mana is contained in the golden elixir. If the golden elixir is temporarily placed in the body of the foundation-building immortal cultivator, with the help of the golden elixir, the latter can also use the golden elixir stage for a short period of time.
mana.
However, unless there is absolute trust, almost no golden elixir stage immortal cultivator will lend the golden elixir to others.
For those who are cultivating immortals in the Golden elixir stage, once the Golden elixir is lost, their magic power will be lost, and it is difficult to form a second one. Which cultivator in the Golden elixir stage does not regard the Golden elixir as important as life, how can it be so easy
Out of body.
Once an accident occurs, the path of spiritual practice will be ruined.
Moreover, a practitioner's golden elixir is also a great tonic for other golden elixir stages. After the golden elixir stage, there is no elixir that directly improves one's cultivation level, but the golden elixir of the same level contains extremely pure mana, which can
Directly absorbing and strengthening one's own golden elixir, anyone in the golden elixir stage must be extra careful about other beings of the same level.
Li Yu was confident that he could borrow the golden elixir, but he didn't know whether it was allowed under the rules of the competition.
So he looked at the golden elixir elder and asked: "If I can borrow a golden elixir, can I participate in the third-level array mage competition?"
The golden elixir elder nodded and said without much thought: "Of course, in this third-order formation master competition, a formation wizard from the Tiandao Sect borrowed the elder's golden elixir, and it seems that he also came here for the bottle of Yimu spiritual marrow.
…”
At the Immortal Dao Conference, the more important test is the formation theory. The rules of the competition are very loose. As long as the cultivation level does not exceed the golden elixir, regardless of whether the cultivation level is your own or temporarily borrowed, you can participate in the third-level formation magician competition.
After all, the golden elixir stage in the world of immortality is like the crucian carp crossing the river. One more is not too much, and one less is not a lot. However, there may not be even one third-level formation mage among dozens of golden elixir stages. Some are rare to encounter in hundreds of years.
The formation genius has already understood the third-order formation, but his strength has not kept up. Of course, the conference must give such an unprecedented genius a chance.
Not only the exchange of formations, but also the competition of magic cultivation, the exchange of alchemy, the exchange of talismans, and the exchange of weapon refining, there are no restrictions on this kind of thing. However, the other ones are not as simple as breaking the formation and require long-term support.
Moreover, the continuous and stable mana and the borrowed golden elixir are useless.
The problem is, even if you have the strength of the golden elixir, you can't even break a single formation without the formation understanding of a third-level formation master.
Does this Li Yu already have the theoretical foundation of a third-level array mage?
Even if there were, who would be willing to take the risk and lend him the golden elixir?
Seeing Li Yu looking at him, the golden elixir elder seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "I will not lend my golden elixir to others..."
Just kidding, the golden elixir is as important to them as life. Not to mention people they don't know well, even relatives and friends will not lend it easily. Once something goes wrong, there is no regret medicine in the world of immortality.
Li Yu glanced at him. He was willing to borrow it, but he was not willing to take it.
Just know that this approach works.
Breaking the formation is not refining the elixir. When refining the elixir, even if you borrow someone else's golden elixir, you cannot control the magic power stably for a long time. But breaking the formation is different. It does not require a long time. What is needed is just a moment of magic power.
break out.
So, he asked the Jindan elder for a sign to participate in the third-level array mage competition.
Then, he walked up to Jiang Li and said, "Ali, you can lend me your golden elixir later..."
