Chu Ci carefully observed the roots of the vine and found that although all the leaves on it were gone, it was still full of vitality.

It looks like the vine has only suffered heavy damage, but is not completely dead.

This reminded him of the colorful fruits that had grown on the vines before. What they were was unknown now, and it seemed that it would take some time for them to grow again.

A thought suddenly flashed through Chu Ci's mind. This place is so secretive, except for Wulong Patriarch and Julu, no one seems to know about this place.

Now that these two threats have been eliminated by him, this place has undoubtedly become an extremely safe place.

If a Zi Hai He Chong formation is built here, it may be possible to stimulate the vitality of the vines, allowing them to recover quickly, or even bear fruit again and radiate new vitality.

But there was still a question that troubled him. That was this mysterious blue circle formation. If this formation existed here, would the Zi Hai He Chong formation be affected? Would the two formations conflict, leading to unexpected consequences?

With curiosity, Chu Ci walked to the outside of the circle and looked inside carefully.

Under the effect of the blue barrier, the vision was a little blurry, but one could vaguely see a tiny bulge in the center of the formation, only the size of half a finger.

Looking at the shape and texture of this protrusion, it looks like a spring.

Something that can be protected by such a powerful formation is definitely not an ordinary thing. Chu Ci thought to himself, could this be a spiritual spring?

Although spiritual consciousness could not penetrate the barrier of the formation, Chu Ci believed in his own judgment that this was definitely a precious spiritual spring.

The spiritual liquid in the cave could not flow freely because of obstruction, but it still nourished the nearby land, allowing the spiritual herbs in the cave to grow so lushly.

Chu Ci couldn't help but think about what it would be like if he could break this formation and fully release the power of the spiritual spring.

He decided to act immediately to see if he could find another way to break the formation.

Chu Ci first placed two simple restrictions at the entrance and the tunnel. The purpose of these two restrictions is to be able to immediately detect someone coming.

After setting up the ban, Chu Ci took the jade slip in his hand, sat next to the blue circle formation, and began to study it in depth.

Time passed, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. After two days of research, he had a deeper understanding of this blue circle formation.

Based on his understanding of formations, Ancestor Wulong's method of breaking the formation is already the best. Even he himself can only use this method.

However, it required six Jindan monks, which was a huge problem for him.

Where can I find so many suitable monks? Even if I find them, how can they listen to me? Chu Ci fell into deep thought. This method simply won't work.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Chu Ci's mind, and he thought of two people - the uncle and nephew Fang Yuan in Lingxi City.

These two seem to have a more thorough understanding of the formation, and perhaps they can provide new ideas.

Moreover, he wanted to build a large-scale Zi Hai He Chong formation, and he had to buy the flags needed for the formation from them.

However, Lingxi City is thousands of miles away and can only be reached using a teleportation array. The only teleportation array Chu Ci knows of is in Huicheng.

After some consideration, Chu Ci finally decided to set off for Huicheng now.

But before leaving, he needed to hide this place well to eliminate any smell or traces that might be left behind.

He took out the cleaning talisman and cleaned the entire cave inside and out, including the tunnel and the entrance.

Then he set up a formation at the entrance of the cave to prevent divine consciousness from detecting it, so as to prevent this secret place from being discovered.

Afterwards, Chu Ci set up another formation at the entrance of the cave. If this formation is not broken, it is impossible to enter the cave. In this way, even if someone enters the cave during his absence, he will be able to find out the next time he comes back.

Chu Ci has reached perfection in using the golden pen to refine formation flags and arrange formations, and failure is basically impossible.

After setting up these two formations, there were only a few blank flags left in Chu Ci's hands.

After finishing, he summoned the Wind-Winged Eagle, looked up at the cave entrance and flew away into the distance, in the direction of Huicheng.

After comparing the map, he found that the distance between him and Huicheng was about 20 miles. He flew all the way on a wind-winged eagle, occasionally hunting along the way. After 15 days, Chu Ci finally arrived outside Huicheng.

After landing, he first put on a disguise talisman, which was one of the earliest ones he had refined. He was the one he used when he went to Huicheng Wanfufang.

He remembered that the city lord of Huicheng was a Jindan cultivator named Qin. When he followed Elder Gu in the teleportation, City Lord Qin had led some famous cultivators of Huicheng to see him off. At that time, Chu Ci had seen Gongsun Qing in the crowd.

From this it can be seen that Gongsun Qing must be acquainted with City Lord Qin.

He didn't know how to use the teleportation array in Huicheng, and he needed to find Gongsun Qing first.

Chu Ci came to the previous location of Wanfufang according to his memory.

But Chu Ci found something wrong from a distance. The previous sign of Wanfufang had been replaced, and the current sign had the words "Chima Merchant Alliance Huicheng Branch" written on it in large letters.

Chima Merchant Alliance, Chu Ci muttered to himself, he had known the name of this merchant alliance for a long time.

The reason why it is called the Merchant Alliance is because it has many branches and is quite famous among several nearby small countries such as Jin, Wei, and Heifeng.

The reason why this business alliance is so famous in the nearby small countries is not only because of its many branches, but also because of its unique business philosophy. The Chima Business Alliance only does business and never gets involved in any country's war. This neutral attitude makes it like a fish in water in the business world and its business is booming.

However, what puzzled Chu Ci was that the Red Horse Merchant Alliance usually only opened branches in large cities with many immortal cultivators, such as Lingxi City. Although Huicheng was also an immortal cultivation city, its scale and influence were much smaller than Lingxi City. He didn't understand why the Red Horse Merchant Alliance chose to open a branch here.

Although Huicheng is not small, the number or level of cultivators in the city cannot be compared with those big cities.

Chu Ci confirmed his location again and walked into the Chima Merchant Alliance. Since Wan Fu Fang was gone, he would go in and take a look first.

The two nuns standing at the door immediately saluted him:

"Welcome to the Huicheng branch of the Chima Merchant Alliance."

He took a look at the two of them and couldn't help but sigh at the strength of the Chima Merchant Alliance. Even the female cultivator welcoming guests at the door had the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining, and the female cultivators guiding shopping in the hall were all above the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Before Chu Ci could speak, a man walked out from the inner door, bowed to Chu Ci with a smile on his face and said, "My surname is Zhang, and I am the person in charge of the Red Horse Merchant Alliance here. Fellow Daoist, please come upstairs to talk."

Chu Ci took a look at the person who came. He had a white face and a yellow robe. He was about forty years old and had the cultivation level of the late foundation building stage.

He also returned the greeting and then followed Manager Zhang up to the second floor.

There were several private rooms upstairs. Shopkeeper Zhang walked into a room first. The two sat down as host and guest. The maid brought the tea. Shopkeeper Zhang spoke first:

"You look a little unfamiliar, so this must be your first time in our shop. Let me introduce our Red Horse Merchant Alliance."
