Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 201 Canglang Qinglin
In Qinghe County, the news of the ancient demonic plants resurfacing at the ruins of Leshan Prefecture, and the near annihilation of the exploring cultivators, shattered the original tranquility like a raging storm.

Standing atop the wooden fish tower, in front of the Golden Sun Palace, Jiang Chen wasn't too surprised by the latest news.

"The demonic plant is not bad, but it may not be ancient."

"The Aoki family..."

Standing on the cliff, gazing into the distance, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.

He had previously felt that the Leshan ruins were somewhat strange, so he didn't get involved. Of course, the main reason he didn't get involved was that there was nothing in the ruins that could attract him.

Although both the incomplete spiritual artifacts and the incomplete Dao foundation inheritances were of considerable value, they were not worth the risk for him. He already possessed both Dao foundation inheritances and spiritual artifacts; what he truly lacked were suitable spiritual treasures. And as it turned out, the ruins did indeed have problems.

"If this was indeed orchestrated by the Aoki family, then they are most likely using this opportunity to carry out a blood sacrifice. The so-called demonic plant was able to annihilate everyone, so its strength definitely exceeds the Qi Refining level. It must have been specially cultivated by them."

"It's just that the Aoki family's actions seem a bit hasty. After all, Leshan County is highly controlled by the Aoki family, and doing this is tantamount to cutting off their own wings."

As his thoughts collided, Jiang Chen pondered various possibilities.

At that moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged, and illusory forests appeared, enveloping the entire Muyu Island. As time passed, water vapor rose, and waves surged above Muyu Island, transforming into a horizontal torrent that swept across all directions.

Noticing this change, Jiang Chen immediately turned his gaze toward Qingxin Xiaozhu, where he sensed Tao Yao's ever-increasing aura.

"It's done? That's much faster than expected."

As he sensed the formation taking shape, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

Previously, he had obtained a formation inheritance from Tu Weng, which included four first-order formations. These were given to Tao Yao, who, although she usually seemed not very bright, was indeed very talented in formations and quickly manifested the inheritance completely.

For more than a year, it has been quietly sorting out the spiritual energy channels on Muyu Island in preparation for setting up the formation. At the same time, the disciples of Taiping Sect have been constantly collecting various materials for this purpose.

Fortunately, Canglang Sanren and Tu Weng had already prepared to set up an array on Muyu Island, and the most essential materials were ready long ago, so this step was not difficult. In fact, if Tao Yao hadn't wanted to set up a composite array directly, the process would have been even simpler.

As half an incense stick's time passed, the surge of spiritual energy began to slowly subside, and the formation on Muyu Island began to truly take shape. Outside, there was a forest of green trees, mainly for protection, and inside, there was a surging wave, mainly for offense, creating a unique atmosphere.

This is the Canglang Qinglin Formation, which is composed of two formations: the Canglang Formation and the Qinglin Formation. One is offensive and the other is defensive, embodying the principle of mutual generation between water and wood, yet the result is greater than the sum of its parts.

As for the array object, it was changed from the originally planned Hunjiang Seal to Taoyao. Although the Hunjiang Seal is of good quality and is a genuine top-grade magic weapon, Taoyao itself is the best array object on this Muyu Island, as this is its home turf.

With a whoosh, Tao Yao was filled with joy as she confirmed that the formation was fully formed. The whole tree swayed for a moment. With the help of the Taiping Sect disciples, it took more than a year to successfully establish a protective formation for the Taiping Sect.

"Not bad. You've worked hard this time. Now you can focus on your cultivation and strive to achieve mastery of Qi as soon as possible."

Upon arriving at Qingxin Xiaozhu and sensing Taoyao's joy, Jiang Chen's smile deepened. In the past year or so, he had made progress, and so had Taoyao. Although she had devoted a significant portion of her energy to array formations, with the help of the Yanyang Spirit Stone, her cultivation had continued to grow, and she had now achieved minor success in Qi Refining.

Sensing Jiang Chen's emotions, Tao Yao, though still somewhat bewildered, grew increasingly happy; Jiang Chen's happiness made her happy too.

After everything calmed down, Jiang Chen personally confirmed the mystery of the Canglang Qinglin Formation.

"Canglang and Qinglin are mutually supportive of water and wood, and their essence is quite extraordinary. With Taoyao in charge, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people who have reached the Qi Refining stage to break this formation. Even if one has reached the Qi Refining stage, it is impossible to break this formation in a short time without specific methods."

With this assurance in mind, Jiang Chen relaxed considerably.

"With the great formation in place, basic security is guaranteed. And with so much time having passed, the prefectural governor's office should have given up on the investigation. Perhaps it's time for me to go out and explore."

Feeling restless, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the outside of Muyu Island.

When he killed Liao Yonghuai, he knew it would attract the attention of the prefectural governor's office, given the timing was too coincidental. The reason he had been focusing on cultivation and ignoring external affairs for over a year was not only for his own needs but also to avoid the limelight.

Although with his current strength, Qi Xiuning alone couldn't do anything to him, he didn't want to attract too much attention at this juncture and cause unnecessary trouble.

"The Yellow Wind Sect has been pressing harder and harder in Changfeng County lately, and it's not appropriate for the Mist Dragon to remain hidden for too long. Also, we need to find a suitable opportunity to take the Zhuang family's spiritual cave. With this spiritual cave, Tao Yao's next transformation should go much more smoothly."

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen had the idea of ​​going to Changfeng County. For the time being, maintaining the identity of a Frost Dragon was still somewhat useful, as it could be used to handle some things that were inconvenient for him to do.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen gave a brief explanation and quietly left the Taiping Sect.

Meanwhile, atop Yanqiu in Changfeng County, Du Zhong's seemingly stern face was filled with worry as he watched the increasingly thinning fog around him.

He was instructed by Jiang Chen to find a kind of spiritual water. This task was originally very difficult. He had even planned to go to other regions to take a look. After all, Changfeng County has a special environment. The most abundant elements are wind and earth, and there are few environments that can nurture spiritual water. It is really too difficult to find a kind of spiritual water here.

However, nothing is absolute. During his travels, he actually found a Red Cloud Spring in the desert by chance and extracted a portion of Red Cloud Spirit Water from it.

However, when he returned to Yanqiu full of joy, he suddenly discovered that his own Jiao Wang and Rat Lord had disappeared, and all the valuable resources had been taken away, leaving only an empty Yanqiu. If it weren't for some ordinary rats, he would have suspected that his mountain gate had been robbed.

"Why···"

With a sigh, Du Zhong glanced at the still deserted foot of the mountain, then turned and walked back to the weapon-refining room.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he still wanted to stay if possible. For someone like him, there seemed to be nowhere else to go but Yanqiu. This used to be his home, and it still is.
