Dream Picking Records

"You, come here, did you see what just happened?"

A man with the word "天" embroidered on his robe shouted at Wang Xiao who was on his way. He guessed that the commotion just now was probably due to the appearance of some incredible treasure.

"I'm talking to you. Why are you in a daze? Come here quickly!" He swung the whip in his hand and hit her unreasonably.

"I?"

Wang Xiao grabbed it and said, he recognized that this was the exclusive clothing of the people in Qintian City.

"You are a rebel! How dare you disobey the orders of Qintian City?" The man was only at the third level of Hedao but was extremely arrogant and domineering. He dared to shout at him.

"When did Qintian City become the master of this world, able to order others around at will and restrict their personal freedom?"

Wang Xiao saw several tied-up monks behind the man and guessed that they must be planning something.

The man couldn't see through his realm and thought he didn't have the strength of the Hedao realm, so he tried to capture him. Now that he knew he had run into a tough guy, he changed his attitude.

"My master has discovered a secret place, but unfortunately it is guarded by a large formation. I would like to invite all of you to help me break the formation. What we gain will be shared with you afterwards."

"You call it inviting to tie someone up?" Wang Xiao untied the men with a flick of his fingers, "You can leave now."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!" They thanked him and ran away without looking back.

Wang Xiao's action caused dissatisfaction among the men. "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. Don't you even want to save face for Qintian City?"

"Face is earned by oneself, not given by others."

He stretched out his big hand, and the man had no way to resist. He was directly dragged in front of him, knocked unconscious, and read his memory.

"Oh, so they are looking for cannon fodder to test the formation."

The lotus pond where the Awakening Spirit Lotus was located was not far from here, and the people of Qintian City also had their eyes on it. Unfortunately, there were tens of thousands of lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, forming a summoning spirit formation. If you took a wrong step into it, your soul would be hooked away by the formation.

In the past, people had no way to deal with it, but this year was different. They found that the formation was seriously damaged, which was destroyed by the Qilin medicine.

After Wang Xiao learned the information, he immediately rushed to the lotus pond.

……

"Qintian City really doesn't give up. They send a team of people to come and take a look every year."

"You know what, they really have a chance this year."

Several monks were talking on the side. What was strange was that although the sun was shining brightly outside, it was dark where the lotus pond was.

Fireflies light up the stars in the night, and tens of thousands of lotus flowers emit a faint fragrance, swaying in the wind under the bright moonlight.

It seemed as if there was beautiful piano music falling beside everyone.

The only flaw is that there is a missing spot in the lotus pond, which destroys the overall beauty.

Wang Xiao's arrival attracted the attention of others, but they somewhat withdrew their attention after seeing that he was alone.

The people from Qintian City, as the main force, were breaking the formation while being watched by the crowd.

One side is not a bored spectator, the other side has made all kinds of preparations.

Looking around, the entire lotus pond was a huge circle, filled with lotuses of the same appearance. The lack of a vacant space left half of the lotus pond exposed, and a gap appeared in the formation.

"It seems that the Awakening Spirit Lotus is both a magical medicine and the core of the formation. The formation became like this after the Qilin Medicine ate one of the flowers."

Wang Xiao looked around and saw empty bodies without souls lying on the ground. In addition, there were several monks whose mobility was restricted.

Capricorn, the lord of Qintian City, was present in person, with the sun and the moon embroidered on his white robe, which complemented each other.

He was an old man with white hair and beard, his eyes slightly closed, as calm as the sea, and he did not take the wolves around him seriously at all.

"Dad, we have lost more than fifty people and haven't found the corresponding route yet. We don't have many test subjects left."

A young man wearing a robe of the same style pointed at a few people who looked disheartened.

"It's okay. I already know the approximate route. Three people are enough." The old man spoke softly, his deep eyes slowly opened, and he looked confident.

"That's great, Dad. As long as we get that lotus, the backlash we suffer from making prophecies in the future will be much smaller."

"Well, it must be in the pocket of our clan." He glanced at the people present and then looked away.

"You, follow my instructions and I'll keep you safe."

Among the remaining five people, the old man in yellow shirt was called, and his heart finally settled down.

Originally, after hearing the old man's words, he had more hope of survival, but when the probability of three out of five was revealed, his face became yellower than his clothes.

With his magical powers sealed, he is just a mortal here and can only accept his fate and obey orders as a pawn.

The mayor of Qintian City waved his sleeves, and the yellow-shirted man's cultivation was fully restored.

His face lit up with joy, and the thought of running away began to sprout in his mind. However, when he looked at the people surrounding him, his idea was nipped in the bud.

"Well, I can only pray that the route this damn old guy guessed is correct."

"Don't be so pessimistic. You have to trust my judgment. Take seven steps forward, then nine steps to the left..."

After testing more than 50 people, the man in yellow shirt was safe at first, and he was not worried. Finally, he came to the place where the last person died, and the herbs they wanted to collect were not far away from him.

"God bless!"

"Then take three steps forward, then six steps back..." The old man's cold voice was as cold as death.

The man in yellow shirt had no choice but to do as he was told after praying. The first three steps were fine, and the three steps back were also safe. Then the fourth step, the fifth step...

"It's just as I expected." The old man stroked the tiger's whiskers and continued to give orders with full confidence.

"Be prepared to take seven steps to the left."

The man in yellow took the sixth step and then stopped all movements.

"Don't you understand? Turn left?" the old Capricorn said angrily.

"Dad, he seems unconscious." Mo Ke reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the man in yellow was thrown out of the lotus pond by the formation, and his soul seemed to have disappeared.

The old man frowned slightly and re-examined the lotus formation in the pool. After a while, his increasingly tense brows finally relaxed.

"So that's how it is. I understand. You go ahead." He pointed to the young female cultivator on the leftmost of the remaining four.

The other three people immediately breathed a sigh of relief. On the other hand, the woman did not beg for mercy, nor did she show any extra expression. As the spiritual energy seal in her body was unlocked, she walked directly into the phantom array.

Without the old man's words, she took steps along the same route as the previous person.

"It saves me a lot of nonsense."

After the female cultivator followed the yellow-shirted man's steps forward three times, the old man Capricorn said, "Very good, then step back three steps, then walk seven steps to the left, then step back three steps again, and pick the lotus in front of you."

The female cultivator took three steps back as instructed, but she did not stop after taking seven steps to the left and then took two steps forward.

Just when Capricorn and others were angry that the woman did not obey orders and thought that her soul would be taken away by the formation, she continued to move intact.

The people in Qintian City widened their eyes, including Capricorn and Moko, who couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The woman acted independently until she bent down and plucked a lotus flower, and the illusion in the lotus pond quietly disappeared.

Just as everyone was astonished, the woman's figure flashed and turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared on the spot.
