Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 185 Search
Looking at Fellow Daoist Ji, who was sitting silently in the chair.

Chen Li felt a mix of emotions, a whole range of feelings.

Considering that the white bird could return at any time, he dared not delay. He composed himself and quickly refined the magic array control token in his hand. Soon, under his control, the outer protective shield gradually dissipated, and the entire magic array began to close.

The information came from the token.

This is a small-scale, mid-grade, third-tier magic array: the "Earth Bright Light Array".

The maximum coverage area is about ten acres.

Besides being classified according to their grade, magic arrays can also be divided into small, medium, and large magic arrays based on their coverage area. Large magic arrays are also known as mountain-protecting arrays, which are generally used by sects and are rarely seen at auctions.

The "Earth Bright Light Array" is this small-scale array.

Although it is only a small-scale magic array, as a defensive array for the Scripture Pavilion, its capabilities in all aspects are by no means inferior to a mountain-protecting array of the same grade.

The "Earth Bright Light Array" can be built using spiritual veins and has more than ten functions such as "gathering spirits", "spring-like", "defense", "suppression", "illusion breaking" and "attack". As long as there are enough spirit stones, it can withstand a blow from a late-stage Golden Core cultivator when fully activated.

At the same time, a beam of light capable of annihilation, comparable to the attack power of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, can be shot out from within the formation.

Even if someone infiltrates the formation, the suppressive power of the formation can still be used to completely imprison a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, or interfere with the actions of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

"This magic array..." Chen Li was filled with mixed feelings of surprise and delight.

Compared to the second-tier low-grade Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array that I bought myself, it is incomparably stronger, like heaven and earth.

Chen Li had seen a similar small-scale, mid-grade third-order magic array auctioned at the Red Pillar City Auction House of the Fire Cloud Sect. It was eventually sold for a staggering 6,200 high-grade spirit stones, leaving everyone speechless.

This level of magic array is completely beyond the reach of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators might not be able to afford such a magic array.

Suppressing his joy, Chen Li quickly located the array devices by using the control token and the connections between them, and immediately began digging them out one by one using the traction technique.

There are a total of twenty-one array devices.

Each one weighs several hundred kilograms.

The weight can be over a thousand kilograms.

In total, they weigh more than six tons.

He stuffed his personal storage bag to the brim.

With such a valuable treasure on his person, Chen Li dared not let the illusory body stay here for even a moment longer, and quickly withdrew.

No sooner had they left than the library, riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse, could no longer hold on and crumbled into ruins.

……

White birds are busy building their nests, carrying wood in their beaks.

Chen Li's illusory body was also constantly moving back and forth, keeping him very busy.

Because he was cautious, he would only go in and out when the white birds left the mountain and went to the forest to search for nesting trees.

The white bird was completely unaware of what was happening.

They had always lived in peace and undisturbed each other.

Throughout the day, Chen Li used his illusionary body sixteen times, practically ransacking the entire mountain.

Total gains:

Thirty-five high-grade spirit stones.

There are thirty-eight storage bags, five of which are three-dimensional storage bags and one is a ten-dimensional storage bag (from fellow Ji Daoyou).
A second-tier high-grade flying sword, also from Fellow Daoist Ji.

The herbs were piled up like mountains.

Chen Li found several medicinal herb warehouses on the mountain, filled with piles of dried and processed herbs, which almost filled his several large storage bags. In the end, he had no choice but to abandon them because he couldn't fit them all in.

Fortunately, there aren't many left.

As for the first-tier magic artifacts, robes, talismans, and other miscellaneous items, Chen Li was too lazy to count them all, estimating that they were only worth a dozen or so high-grade spirit stones.

Other than that,

Chen Li also found three components of the mountain-protecting formation.

It's just that there wasn't enough time. Otherwise, if we used clairvoyance to search slowly, we could definitely uncover the complete protective mountain formation.

Even so, these damaged parts should still be worth a lot of money.

After all, it's a third-tier item. The materials alone are quite valuable.

And this doesn't even include the priceless third-tier mid-grade magic array, "Earth Bright Light Array".

The only regret is that we didn't find our ancestor's treasures.

Chen Li even dared to search the original ancestral cave, which had become a bird's nest.

Unfortunately nothing was found.

……

Chen Li was playing with the second-tier high-grade flying sword that Fellow Daoist Ji had given him.

The flying sword was entirely blue, without a handle, and slender. The words "Azure Shadow" were engraved on it, which was undoubtedly the name of the sword.

"The ancestor has fallen, the sect has been destroyed, and my fellow disciples have died tragically. These are things that should be filled with sorrow and grief, but all day long, I have felt more joy than anything else. This is really not right!" Chen Li felt guilty.

"Alas, money corrupts the soul!"

The sun was setting in the west, and dusk was approaching.

The sunset painted the valley a fiery red.

After instructing his wives and concubines not to disturb him, Chen Li took two Qi-harmonizing pills and began meditating to recover his depleted spiritual energy.

When I opened my eyes.

It had gotten completely dark.

"Husband, you're awake?" Zhou Hong, who had been staying by Chen Li's side, said hurriedly when she saw him wake up.

"Hmm!" Chen Li responded, pushed aside the branches and vines at the entrance of the cave, and walked out of the cave.

It was dark outside.

The past two days have been mostly cloudy, with white clouds stretching for miles. Looking up at the sky now, you can hardly see a single star.

"God is really helping me!"

This is undoubtedly a good omen.

Chen Li strode back to his cave dwelling: "Pack your things, it's time to go!"

Before long, the Spirit Wood Shuttle slowly rose into the air, crossed the valley, and headed into the distance.

The journey was exceptionally smooth.

They didn't see any white birds until dawn.

The group finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere vanished.

By this time, the flying shuttle had already flown out of the Real Realm. However, when traveling, they only chose a general direction, and since it was dark and they could not distinguish their location, even Chen Li did not know where he was. Fortunately, this place was close to the inner region, densely populated, and had many cultivators coming and going.

Chen Li flew out of the spirit wood shuttle, summoned a Qi Refining cultivator, and released his Foundation Establishment aura.

The Qi Refining cultivator was immediately terrified.

He answered Chen Li's questions without reservation.

Chen Li then learned that his group had passed through three sects overnight and were now more than two thousand miles away from the True Realm Sect.

Chen Li felt relieved and in a great mood. He casually tossed over a mid-grade spirit stone, and amidst the other party's profuse thanks and ecstatic joy, he flew back to the flying shuttle, then adjusted his direction and flew towards the Fire Cloud Sect.

The shuttle flies day and night without stopping.

They even eat and rest inside.

This is where the advantages of owning a flying shuttle become apparent.

It requires no spiritual energy to fly and does not cause fatigue, making it an ideal tool for long-distance travel.

The problem is that the spirit stones are consumed too quickly.

A journey of a hundred miles will generally consume six mid-grade spirit stones.

Those with limited funds, even if they can afford it, are reluctant to use it.

The closer they got to the Fire Cloud Sect, the more cultivators came and went, and the more frequent the battles they encountered along the way became. Fortunately, Chen Li was no longer a novice. Unless he was unlucky enough to encounter a Golden Core cultivator, he was no match for most late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The shuttle flew continuously for three days.

Stanley City is finally in sight!
