Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

"Let's take a look at Er'er's injuries first." Ling Wanran glanced at Luo Shan, and seeing that Luo Shan didn't say anything, she couldn't figure out what this fellow Daoist Luo was thinking.

"Okay, okay." The old man stood up and quickly made way for Ling Wanran to enter the house with the child.

Hearing the noise outside, Xiao Tong quickly got up, walked to the door and saw his sister being held by someone, her face pale. In an instant, the boy's face turned pale.

“Er Er, is it…” The boy’s voice trembled with tears in his eyes.

"Her soul is injured, but her life is not in danger." When Ling Wanran saw the boy's expression, she knew he had misunderstood. After explaining, she put the girl on the bed.

Looking at the girl on the bed, Ling Wanran sighed in her heart and released her spiritual sense to check the girl's injuries.

Luo Shan stood aside and watched Ling Wanran's movements. Seeing that she was frowning, he guessed in his heart that the girl's injuries were probably serious.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Ling Wanran withdraw her consciousness, her face solemn: "Her soul is severely damaged, and she is a mortal body. Even if she uses elixirs to repair it, her body cannot withstand the power of the elixir."

"Fairy Ling, you mean that my sister can't be saved, right?" The young man had a gloomy expression and his hands were clenched tightly.

"It is possible to save her, but it will harm her body. I see that she has spiritual roots in her body. Before using the elixir, we need to prepare some spiritual medicines for body refinement. She cannot practice now, so she can only use external objects to refine her body, and then she can use the elixir."

"A spiritual medicine for body refining..."

The old man's face turned bitter. It was conceivable how many spirit stones would be consumed to buy the spiritual medicine needed for body refining. He only had more than a hundred spirit stones in his hand, which were not enough to buy the elixir to repair his soul, so how could he buy the spiritual medicine?

"That's right." Ling Wanran nodded. Looking at the old man's expression, she knew that he probably couldn't afford the spirit stones to buy the elixir.

The old man was silent for a long time, looked at the unconscious girl on the bed, then looked at the boy beside him, and finally gritted his teeth and looked at Ling Wanran:

"Fairy Ling and Fairy Luo, I know you are good people. You are willing to help us find Er Er, which is a great favor to us."

"Er Er is now in a coma. As her grandfather, I am powerless to help her. I feel really ashamed of her."

"The fairy said that we need to buy spiritual medicine for Er Er's physical training, but we really don't have spiritual stones at home. My Zeng family was once a large family, and our ancestor was a master of formations. He left behind a jade scroll of formations. Although it is incomplete, it is worth some spiritual stones. If the fairy is interested, I am willing to offer the jade scroll of formations to you. I only hope that the fairy can save my granddaughter."

He was a Qi-refining cultivator who had been guarding the jade seal of the formation left by his ancestors. He had also fantasized about his descendants recreating the glory of his ancestors. However, fate was cruel and his son, who had a talent for formations, died, leaving behind two miserable children.

When his granddaughter's soul was injured, he had thought about taking out the Jade Letter of the Array to exchange for spirit stones, but he was a Qi-refining cultivator, and if others knew that he had such a thing, he would probably attract Xiao Xiao's covetousness.

In the current situation, if he doesn’t take it out, I’m afraid his granddaughter will never wake up again.

He had a very good impression of these two fairies, and they had helped them a lot, so he was willing to give the formation jade card to them.

"Formation Jade Letter?" Ling Wanran was surprised. She knew that this family had some background and had produced some great men, but she didn't expect that the other one was a master of formation.

Luo Shan raised his eyebrows. The old man had said before that the jade letter was missing. It seemed that he was deliberately trying to conceal it.

The old man did not miss Luo Shan's expression. He smiled bitterly and explained:

"Fairy Luo, I had no choice but to say that before."

"No need to explain, I'm not interested in the formation jade letter." Luo Shan smiled faintly. She had also wanted to understand the formation before, but unfortunately, she knew nothing about it.

Previously in Xi Village, she had heard the male cultivator from Luoxia Sect talk a lot about formations, but she only remembered two sentences: if one was strong enough, one could break it with force, but if one could not break the formation by force, one had to find the eye of the formation.

The old man looked a little embarrassed and could only look at Ling Wanran eagerly.

"I am somewhat interested in it." Ling Wanran just thought that Luo San was being humble and wanted to give the formation jade card to her. She was moved and her favorability towards Luo San increased.

After all, this is a jade letter of formation left by a formation master. For any cultivator, it is equivalent to obtaining a legacy.

As Ling Wanran spoke, she took out a bag of spirit stones from her storage bag. This was her first time coming to Wuwang City and she earned thousands of spirit stones from hunting monsters and selling them.

Of course, Dao Yu Jian shuddered at the thought of exchanging thousands of spirit stones for the other party's family inheritance formation, but she also saved the other party's granddaughter, so she was her savior after all.

"I will use this spiritual stone to buy the jade letter. As for Er Er's spiritual medicine and the elixir for repairing the soul, I will take care of it. So, do you agree to this deal?" Ling Wanran thought for a moment and said.

"Fairy saved Er Er, we are extremely grateful. How can you ask for more spirit stones now?" The old man waved his hand to refuse. He was even more grateful for Ling Wanran's words.

“The Jade Card of the Array is worth more than a thousand spirit stones. I’m already getting a bargain by taking these few spirit stones. Mr. Zeng, don’t refuse. You take these spirit stones, and they can be used on his brother and sister in the future. After all, spirit stones are indispensable for cultivating immortals.” Ling Wanran handed the bag of spirit stones to the old man.

"I'd like to thank the fairy on behalf of Er Er." The old man wiped his eyes to wipe away the tears, then turned and went into the inner room, took out the formation jade card and handed it to Ling Wanran.

Ling Wanran took it and put it into the storage bag without changing her expression, but her heart was already in turmoil.

…………

Because of the sea monster's attack on the city, the monks in the city were in a panic. One day after the city defense formation was opened, they were attacked by monsters. At first, there were only low-level monsters, but later, foundation-building monsters gradually appeared.

"If this continues, the city defense formation may not be able to hold up. Go and report to the city lord." The city guards stood on the city wall, looking at the endless black mass of sea monsters, and felt their scalps tingling.

In the City Lord's Mansion of Wuwang City, several families with some strength in the city gathered together, with the Wang and Song families standing on the left and right sides respectively.

"This time the sea monster's attack on the city is different from the previous ones. I'm afraid something else has happened. I have already asked for help from the three previous sects. The most important thing now is to defend Wuwang City. I will try my best to send cultivators out of the city to fight the sea monster." A middle-aged male cultivator in a black gold-woven robe looked solemnly at the Wang and Song families, and the subtext was self-evident.

"Don't worry, City Lord. My Wang family will also send cultivators to support the City Lord's Mansion."

"My Song family is the same!"

"My Zhang family..."

The Wang and Song families expressed their stance, and the other families were not to be outdone. They all stepped forward and expressed their willingness to send people to fight the sea monster.

"Okay!" The Lord of Wuwang City stood up and nodded to everyone.

……

"The Jiugongrui is gone, and the Fengweicao is gone? What about the Baiquanlu?" Ling Wanran asked with a frown in a shop.

"Fairy, these are all gone. The sea monster attacked the city, and many things in the store have been sold out. The elixirs and talismans are all sold out. Fairy, please go look somewhere else."

The shop owner was helpless, but the situation was special now. If the two people in front of him were not foundation-building cultivators, he would not bother to talk so much nonsense.
