Junior sister, I really need to control you

The array diagram, a precious item no less valuable than elixirs or secret techniques, is naturally not something that can be bought for a mere few dozen coins.

He has decided to use all the time he spends cultivating outside to cram for array formations.

With his current cultivation level, the increase in cultivation level through daily practice is merely a drop in the ocean.

If one devotes all their energy to studying formations, their progress will be as rapid as the blink of an eye.

As Li Yinsheng read the book, he silently memorized the knowledge of array formations.

While expending their mental energy, they activated their chess spirit to understand and deduce what they had memorized.

……

Meanwhile, the Shouyi Temple was stationed there.

After a day and a night of cleaning, the Shouyi Temple's former residence, which had been in complete disarray, has been basically restored to a usable state.

The roof that had been torn off has been replaced with a new one.

The disciples of Shouyi lined up in the open space, all looking listless.

"Here, take these amulets. They will protect you from being attacked by monsters while you are on patrol."

Deacon Chen and Deacon Xu distributed simple metal pieces to each of the disciples.

These metal sheets are all about the same size, three inches long, two inches wide, and one inch thick. They are all iron gray, with a few simple curved lines engraved on the front.

"Tomorrow's patrol is on. No leave is allowed, and no one is allowed to be late. Anyone who misses the assembly will be punished with a cane! You all need to remember this!"

With his blackened beard, Vice Abbot Zhao addressed the disciples.

"As ordered."

A weak, feeble response rang out from the crowd.

"Why are you all speaking so softly!" Vice Abbot Zhao complained.

"Yes, sir!!!"

Vice Abbot Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

The magical artifacts to awaken the offspring have been distributed. I will inform Senior Chongyun after I disperse these disciples on the mountain tomorrow.

When all the larvae emerge from their cocoons, they will devour all the bamboo, rendering the Bamboo Pavilion useless.

That old bastard Liang Qiwu dared to openly take sides yesterday, favoring that brat from Xuanzhen Temple. Once all the Su Yunzhu bamboos have withered and died, let's see if you can still be the abbot!

Now we're just waiting for Senior Insect Cloud to appear tomorrow.

Vice Abbot Zhao couldn't wait to see Liang Qiwu and Qi Jiushan looking utterly devastated and heartbroken.

Chapter 72 Exposure (2/5)

At noon, on Zhulin Peak, at the Shouyi Temple's residence.

All the disciples of Shouyi Temple were sent out on patrol, leaving only Vice Abbot Zhao and two stewards in the residence.

"Senior brother, it's about time. By now, all the disciples have dispersed to various parts of the mountain," said Steward Xu.

"We can inform that senior now," Chen Rui said in a low voice.

Although they had already enveloped the room with magical artifacts that could isolate divine sense, they still subconsciously lowered their voices.

"Ah."

With a solemn expression, Vice Abbot Zhao took out a piece of amber from his Qiankun bag, infused it with his magic power, and the amber immediately lit up before spontaneously shattering.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant; the amber turned into specks of light and vanished completely.

……

In the gloomy, pitch-black cave.

Chongyun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with undisguised excitement.

"Hehehe, it's finally done!"

He suddenly made several hand seals in front of him, and cackled, "My darlings! Break free from your cocoons!"

"Hurry up and have a good meal, grow up quickly, and then offer yourselves to your mother to help me advance my cultivation! Hahahaha..."

He made a few more hand seals, and his laughter suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing deeply.

"Break out of your cocoons! I've been telling you to break out of your cocoons! Why aren't you breaking out yet!"

His hand seals changed rapidly, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

"Damn it, why don't you break free of your cocoons!"

Chongyun was cursing when she suddenly realized something, and her expression changed: "Oh no, if the offspring have a problem, then the mother worm might also..."

He tried a different hand seal to control the mother insect, but to no avail.

His connection with the mother insect seemed to be blocked by something.

"How could this be..." His expression turned solemn. He stopped using spells and instead closed his eyes to communicate with the magical artifact he had left beside the mother insect.

Although the Shadowless Banner was a bit far from him and not his natal magic weapon, the magic weapon and its master were connected by heart, which could not be separated by ordinary obstacles.

Sure enough, with a thought, he immediately connected with the Shadowless Flag, wanting to manipulate it to sweep up the mother insect and return immediately.

Then he sensed that the Shadowless Banner was trapped.

Trapped in the small hole he left behind, they were restricted by some unknown force and unable to break through.

"Damn it, we were found out after all..."

Chongyun gritted his teeth.

He couldn't understand how his meticulously planned and well-concealed scheme had been discovered.

Could it be that old man from Huangzhu Temple actually came in person in secret?

Chongyun suddenly stood up, transforming into a buzzing dark cloud, emerging from the cave and heading straight for Bamboo Forest Peak.

He accepted his fate today. After confirming that the larvae were out of control, he gave up the idea of ​​consuming those bamboo shoots.

But while he could do without the larvae and Su Yunzhu, he couldn't just abandon the mother worm that he had painstakingly cultivated, especially since his magic weapon was also there.

We must at least retrieve the mother insect and the magic weapon before we leave!

……

Li Yinsheng was reading a book.

He was reading a book late at night.

As dawn broke and the Jade Altar Temple changed shifts, he was reading a book while restarting the formation.

As the bell rang from the mountainside at dawn, urging the patrolling disciples to get up and patrol the mountain, he was still reading.

It wasn't until the sun was almost at its zenith that Li Yinsheng put down the array book in his hand and raised an eyebrow slightly.

In his divine sense, the three people in the Shouyi Temple's camp suddenly activated a magical artifact that isolated divine sense.

He hadn't paid any attention to the three people at all, and his divine sense hadn't been actively used; it had simply spread out naturally.

The location of Shouyi Temple was at the very edge of his spiritual sense range. Unless something major happened, he would not notice it while he was focused on reading.

But now these people have inexplicably activated a magical artifact that isolates divine sense, which is obviously suspicious.

Although this magical artifact doesn't violently repel divine senses for ordinary cultivators, but rather conceals and disguises things within its range, this little trick cannot escape Li Yinsheng's divine sense.

He noticed them as soon as they unfurled their magical artifacts.

Who would be so kind as to isolate their spiritual senses and chat in broad daylight?

Li Yinsheng immediately extended his divine sense to that direction.

The magical artifacts used by those three to isolate divine sense were quite sophisticated. When he first entered the True Person realm, his divine sense probably couldn't easily penetrate that barrier, and he might even have completely ignored it, genuinely believing that everything there was normal.

But for his current consciousness, this method of isolation is useless.

Li Yinsheng probed with his divine sense and heard their conversation clearly, including the scene when Vice Abbot Zhao activated the insect amber.

"Inform that senior... what is the person from Shouyi Temple going to do?"

The question had barely crossed Li Yinsheng's mind when he found the answer.

A few breaths after Vice Abbot Zhao activated the insect amber, all the disciples of Shouyi Temple emitted an extremely subtle fluctuation.

Now Li Yinsheng knew what the people at Shouyi Temple were up to.

At the foot of Bamboo Forest Peak, he personally set up all those formations, and he could clearly sense every single one of their movements.

Just as the subtle fluctuations emanated from the disciples of Shouyi Temple, the alien insects that he had bound with the "Double Flying Swallow" technique awakened simultaneously.

All the awakened alien insects unanimously wanted to tear open their cocoons and emerge.

If they are allowed to come out, the Suyun bamboo beside them will surely suffer.

Unfortunately, it cannot be exported.

Now Li Yinsheng knew that the "senior" mentioned by the people at Shouyi Temple must be the real person who laid these insects.

"It's only been three days, and the person behind it all can't hold back anymore?" Li Yinsheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He then noticed that the flag trapped in the Qi Tribulation Formation was directly grabbing the large fleshy worm next to it, trying to break out of the formation and escape into the distance.

However, the flag seemed to be mainly for concealment and did not have much offensive effect. Under the encirclement and suppression of the tight energy calamity, the flag's attempts to break through left and right were still useless.

It seems the person behind the scenes has realized that he has been outmaneuvered.

Now that the person knew his methods had been exposed, Li Yinsheng no longer needed to hide anything.

He made several hand seals, locking the magical flag and the tight energy of the flesh worm. Along with the surrounding "Suppressing God Head" and "Swelling Ox" formations, they all surged upwards from the ground.

This is also one of the advantages of the formations in the Dongxuan Formation.

Normal formations are difficult to move at will, and the more a formation relies on external objects, the less likely it is to be moved.

However, the formations in the Dongxuan Formation were all constructed by Li Yinsheng using his magical power. They were not entirely formations, but also had some magical properties. Under his control, they could be moved.

He then stepped out the door, mounted the Cold Bright Sword, and the sword light soared into the sky.

When he landed again, he was in a forest next to the summit.
