Yao Zhu has obviously suffered a lot from magic weapons.
So when he heard that Jiang Beiran was sure that he could create an exclusive treasure for him, he was extremely excited, and he even forgot about preparing to continue wooing him.
"Friend, what kind of magic weapon are you planning to build for me?"
Jiang Beiran looked at Yaozhu's side and replied: "Then it naturally depends on what kind of magic weapon the chief needs. If the chief lacks defensive means, then I will refine a defensive magic weapon for you. If the chief lacks offensive means,
,Then I will..."
"I need a defensive magic weapon."
Before Jiang Beiran could finish speaking, Yaozhu made his choice directly.
This answer really surprised Jiang Beiran. He had always thought that alien beasts had rough skin and thick flesh, and strong recovery power. They could withstand all attacks from cultivators with their physical bodies.
But now judging from the reaction of Yongzhu, even for a top-notch alien beast like it, it would still be quite painful to resist Xuan Sheng's attack with the physical body.
"Okay." Jiang Beiran nodded, "But most defensive magic weapons should not be of much use to the chief. After all, the people who can fight with you are the top strongest among humans. If it is not the top defensive magic weapon,
I’m afraid it won’t have much effect at all.”
After Jiang Beiran thought for a moment, he continued: "How about this, I will give you two options for the chief. One is that I will help the chief create a high-grade defensive treasure. Although it cannot completely block the attacks of the top human beings, it can
One part is to absorb, and the other is that I will do my best to help the chief create the best defensive magic weapon, but the materials have to be provided by you, the chief, and I need to charge a production fee, of course, it will be much cheaper for you."
"I want the best."
Yaozhao chose the second one without even thinking about it.
"Okay, that being the case, I'll start helping the chief design the magic weapon as soon as I get back."
"What is design."
"Just draw one first according to your request, Chief..."
Jiang Beiran thought for a moment and realized that it was impossible to understand the word "sketch", let alone the "design drawing".
After thinking about it, Jiang Beiran simply said directly: "The chief will naturally know when he returns."
"Okay." After finishing speaking, Yaozhu looked into the distance and said, "Since the holy light has disappeared, let's go to the next place to visit."
'Okay, pretty calm.'
Jiang Beiran thought that Yaozhu would be impatient to go back, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking about being a "tour guide" for him.
This makes Jiang Beiran feel that it is quite reliable.
After spending another half day, Jiang Beiran followed Yongzhu around its entire territory and discovered that magical existences like holy springs were not found everywhere in the Four Holy Lands.
Most places still don’t have that many visions.
And compared with human territory, the Four Holy Lands are actually relatively barren. Except for the place where Yongzhu established his tribe, there are not many natural and earthly treasures to be mined. Looking around, there is nothing but red soil.
.
But because there are no competitors here, Jiang Beiran feels that this place is better than the human beings outside.
At least he can pick whatever he wants without having to worry about skipping options.
Back in the tribe, the alien beasts in the tribe now looked at Jiang Beiran with obviously much friendlier eyes, and at the same time, there was a certain amount of greediness in this friendliness.
They had a really good meal yesterday.
It was simply the most delicious meal they had ever had since they were born, so now they were all thinking about this unexpected human, hoping that he could make another meal for them to enjoy.
After nodding towards them, Jiang Beiran thought that Yaozhu would take him back to the basement, but he never expected that he would arrive in front of a palace.
"This is the sanctuary, and it is also the last place I want to take you to visit." Yuzhu stopped and said to Jiang Beiran.
"The Sanctuary...could it be said that it contains the essence of the Four Saints?"
"I don't know yet whether it contains the essence of the Four Saints, but this is indeed the place where one of the Four Saints once lived.
It turned out to be my former residence...
'Shouldn't this kind of place be a forbidden area that no one can enter except the chief? Is it really okay to bring me here so quickly?'
Thinking about this problem, Jiang Beiran followed Yao Zhu into the palace.
'It smells bad...'
The moment he entered the palace, Jiang Beiran saw various murals. The contents seemed to be some kind of sacrifice, and they looked bloody.
In addition to the murals, various skulls are piled in many corners of the palace. It is not known whether they were placed here as trophies or sacrifices.
'But...it's still too ordinary.'
Jiang Beiran originally thought that this palace was a sanctuary. Not only was it filled with all kinds of magic weapons, but at least it had far more spiritual energy than outside, right?
But no, although everything in this palace is very old, it is also very ordinary.
It doesn't look like a powerful alien beast lived here at all.
While Jiang Beiran was confused, Yaozhu was still walking forward on his own, seemingly not intending to be a "commentator".
After walking like this for a while, Jiang Beiran followed Yaozhu to the largest hall in the palace.
There are also a large number of murals here like outside. The paintings seem to be a war, not between alien beasts and humans, but the internal conflicts of the alien beasts themselves.
Judging from the murals, it seems that the war was fought in darkness and quite a lot of strange beasts died.
"Friend, outsiders were not allowed to enter the Holy Land originally, but I need your help, and I also trust you."
"Chief, please speak."
After finishing speaking, Yongzhu stamped his feet and said, "This is where the Four Saints really live down here, but I have tried various methods, but I still can't get down."
'Do all you beasts love digging holes so much?'
"Can't you get down?" Jiang Beiran looked at the floor in confusion.
"Yes." Yaozhu nodded, "No matter how I attack, I can't penetrate this layer of ground."
"Then how do you know that down below is where the Four Saints really live."
‘It was a secret told to me by the previous chief.”
‘It’s been passed down from generation to generation...what’s the point of keeping it secret?’’
With a rant in his mind, Jiang Beiran first tried to use his mental power to detect the situation under the villa.
However, as he controlled his mental power and was about to probe downwards, he suddenly felt a familiar invisible force stopping him.
'Formation?'
Jiang Beiran was a little confused. Jiang Beiran would not be surprised if the formation appeared in any ancient place, but this is the territory of alien beasts...
'Could it be that a strong human being came here a long time ago and sealed something underground?'
Putting away his mental power, Jiang Beiran looked at Yaozhu and asked: "The chief wants me to help you open the passage to the basement?"
"Yes." Yaozhu nodded, "As long as my friend can help me with this, you can make any conditions."
"Okay, since it's the chief who's requesting it, I have no reason to shirk it. Please give me some time. I need to find out what's blocking the way to the basement first."
Hearing that Jiang Beiran seemed to have a solution, Yongzhu couldn't help but waved his long tail twice and said: "My friend is indeed very capable, so I'll leave it all to you."
"I'm just giving it a try. Chief, it's better not to have too high expectations of me."
"I believe you can do it, my friend."
"Then I will try my best and ask the chief to step back out of the door first."
After hearing this, Yaozhu didn't hesitate at all and walked directly to the door of the hall. He stared at Jiang Beiran with his eyes, looking forward to what kind of magical skills this friend could show.
After roughly observing the surrounding layout, Jiang Beiran took out the eight-inch, twelve-gold and twenty-nine-layer Xuankong Flying Star Disk from the Qiankun Ring and walked to the center of the hall.
To break the formation, one must first determine what formation is blocking him.
‘The sky of the ninth level, wearing cloud shoes on your feet, Kan Gua rises, cloth comes to the end... Huh!?’
Just when Jiang Beiran took the Tiangang Step, he found that the pointer in the flying star disk in his hand was spinning at an extremely fast speed, with no intention of stopping at all.
'Okay...it finally feels like a big demon has lived there.'
The function of the compass is to detect the surrounding aura, and then find a specific direction or array node through the rotation of the pointer.
But now the pointer is completely messed up, which means that the aura here is also extremely messed up.
'Evil nature.'
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran put away the compass and took out the wish-fulfilling lotus tube from the Qiankun Ring.
'As you wish, as you wish, as I wish.'
"Click, click."
After shaking the Ruyi stick twice, a silver stick fell out. Jiang Beiran grabbed it and swung it, and saw it turn into a black mist and quickly disperse.
Although Yongzhu wanted to stop him when he saw this, he endured it in order to decipher the underground secret.
When black clouds filled the entire hall, Jiang Beiran took out eighteen purple talismans, seven silver talismans and two gold talismans from the Qiankun Ring.
Putting a golden talisman on his lips, Jiang Beiran recited in his heart.
"There are three wonders in the sky and six rituals in the earth."
'The anger is chaotic in all directions, and the blame is rising,'
'Black clouds and red soil, rubble grave foundations.'
'Fang Huang takes a hundred steps, open your eyes and see it!'
In an instant, the golden talisman in Jiang Beiran's mouth burst out with a burst of bright light and flew into the black clouds.
Then Jiang Beiran raised his hand, and eighteen purple talismans, seven silver talismans and one gold talisman followed closely behind and flew into the black clouds together.
What Jiang Beiran turned into with the Ruyi Lotus was Mo Yun, which is a magic weapon that assists in observing formations.
When the compass positioning method fails, this is Jiang Beiran's backup spell.
It is more complicated than the compass positioning method, but it is better than relying on the sky, whether the aura is chaotic or the yin is strong and the yang is declining.
Anyway, no environmental factors can affect its "reading array".
After about a cup of tea, the black fog gradually dissipated, but its traces were left in every corner of the room, like cracks, covering the entire hall.
But what surprised Jiang Beiran was that the twenty-seven talismans that were released were still hovering in the air, like headless flies.
'this……'
Jiang Beiran paused for a moment. Logically speaking, these twenty-seven talisman papers would respectively mark the nodes, veins and formation eyes of the formation in this hall.
But now all the twenty-seven talisman papers have lost their direction, which means that they cannot identify what kind of formation this is.
There is only one reason why this happens.
That is, Jiang Beiran's Taoism is not as high as those who set up formations.
After smacking his lips, Jiang Beiran raised his right hand and called, and the twenty-seven talismans flew back into his hand.
Putting away the talisman paper, Jiang Beiran looked around, observing the cracks that looked like black smoke.
These are the traces left when the formation is running. The talisman should rely on them to locate the formation's eyes, nodes and veins.
But now, although the traces have been reproduced, the talisman has still lost its direction, which means that this formation is beyond the scope of Jiang Beiran's cognition.
'It can't be another ancient formation...'
When the compass could not be used to locate the position and the formation observation technique could not be used, Jiang Beiran had no choice.
This formation is obviously "supernormal", and it may be difficult to crack it with his current ability.
"How about it, can you untie it?"
Seeing that Jiang Beiran didn't move for a long time, Yaozhu walked in and asked.
Looking at Yao Zhu who was walking towards him, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt a little emotional.
'That's right, this is a formation that even ninth-level beasts cannot break through with violence, so it cannot be measured with common sense.'
Arching his hands towards Yaozhu, Jiang Beiran said: "What seals the passage down should be an ancient formation. It is quite difficult. I'm afraid it will take me some time to solve it."
Although it is basically impossible for Jiang Beiran to break this formation at this stage, he cannot lose his character. It will definitely not work to directly say that he cannot break it.
When Yongzhu heard that Jiang Beiran really had a way to break it, he immediately said: "It doesn't matter, you can solve it slowly, I can wait."
Jiang Beiran shook his head after hearing this and said: "The ancient formation is full of wisdom, and it is extremely labor-intensive to crack it. But I have other important things to do now. When I am free, I will become the chief.
Crack it.”
Upon hearing this, Yaozhu became anxious and said, "My friend, if you have something important to do, I'll do it for you."
'I want to unify the entire Xuanlong Continent, will you come?'
Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran replied: "I'm afraid the chief can't be of much help with what I want to do, so please don't worry. In addition, cracking this ancient magic circle requires a lot of preparations, and these all take time."
"What preparations are needed? I'll collect them for you." Yongzhu was very positive.
'Hey, what I want is your words.'
Anyway, it’s impossible for Yuzhu to understand the formation. It’s not up to him to decide what to prepare.
However, Jiang Beiran doesn't have half the confidence to break through this large formation yet, so it's not good for the lion to open his mouth now, otherwise it would be bad if he doesn't help others after getting the things.
So Jiang Beiran raised his hand again and said: "Since the chief has this heart, please wait for me a little longer. When the time comes, there will naturally be a lot of things that need the chief's help."
"That's...okay."
Although Yaozhao really didn't want to wait any longer, he had no choice. After waiting for so long, he finally found someone with such a solution, so he could only ignore what others said.
Looking at Yaozhu's extremely reluctant expression, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but smile.
'Alien beasts are alien beasts after all, and they are much easier to handle than humans.'
