In the Sumeru Realm

Ling Ye sat cross-legged in the room to adjust his breathing, and the little fox lay obediently on the side, licking his hair.

Half an hour later

Ling Ye finished his breathing adjustment, and after getting up to prepare a large bowl of spiritual liquid for the little fox, he took out a pile of spiritual stones on the outside to let the little fox slowly adapt to the spirit stones. In the future, he could just put the spirit stones directly, without the hassle of making spiritual liquids.

Then Ling Ye thought about the afternoon birth. It seemed that these aristocratic families were not as they imagined. They were all alone. Zhang Lan had a good relationship with the prince, and it seemed that they were friends with Nan Tianze, Zhongli Shuying, and several others. If you guessed correctly, you were friends with Lan Xiuxiu and Nan Yuer. In this way, if you offend one person, you might offend almost the youngest generation in the capital. This relationship network is really terrible.

It seems that you have to act low-key in the future and not be too eye-catching. Then, taking out the compass you picked up from ten yuan and carefully exploring and studying it.

Although these compass are useless, the remaining traces of array patterns in it are very useful to Ling Ye. After all, Ling Ye has entered the formation path and has not come into contact with many formations. When encountering some difficulties, there is no master's guidance. Although he can now depict the Golden Bell Locking Sky Array and the Nine Swords Hanging Sky Array, he still doesn't know much about many other formations, including some basic knowledge. Although he doesn't know what formation these arrays are, he just needs to know the corresponding array pattern effects. As for what they are called, it doesn't matter.

Time flies, and for more than ten hours, after studying these compass back and forth three or four times, Ling Ye put down the compass and stood up and left the room.

It was already dusk in the Sumeru Realm. Ling Ye came to the river, jumped in and soaked for a while, and changed into a blue suit. Due to the inconvenience of the mask, he left the Sumeru Realm without wearing a mask.

Real world

The night of the first day of the Lunar New Year in the imperial capital Tiannan City is much more lively than during the day. Various red lanterns on the street will be lined up into long red dragons, reflecting the formation of the imperial capital with a layer of red gauze.

Some children were waving and playing on the street with a firework stick in their hands. When Ling Ye saw it, he thought it was fun and wanted to buy it, but he didn't buy it now. Then blue spiritual silk condensed from his fingers, and then tried to control the front of the spiritual silk to shine. After adjusting the injection of soul power, Ling Ye actually succeeded. Then Ling Ye smiled like a child, walking on the street, waving the spiritual silk between his fingers casually, looking like a firework stick, extremely dazzling.

Since it was already night, Ling Ye couldn't go to the east of the city to find Lan Xiuxiu, so he went out to play on the street. After buying some ordinary gadgets in the mortal world, he came to a hotel called Ruyi and opened an ordinary room for rest tonight.

Tonight, I don’t want to enter the Sumeru Realm to continue studying the formation, but I’m afraid of being too involved, and I’m as suspicious as I did last time, so I still have a peaceful sleep in the realm and continue to deal with the things I should deal with tomorrow.

After lying down in the room, suddenly there were sounds of bed boards next door, followed by seductive moans. Ling Ye felt itchy when he heard it, and then he used spiritual power to cast a spell to form a light curtain to separate the sounds from the outside.

All night long, I have dreams but no words.

The next morning, Ling Ye changed into a clean set of clothes, meditated for a while and left the room, came to the inn courtyard, and sat down on a elegant seat.

"Customer, what do you want to order? Our store has a special breakfast, the sea of ​​clouds is as crisp as a dream. Should I come and give it a copy?" The waiter stepped forward and quickly introduced it and recommended.

"What is this sea of ​​clouds like a dream?" Ling Ye said in confusion, and he named it so elegantly early in the morning.

"This breakfast is made of selected Nanxian flour, fresh vegetables that day, and finally fry it under low heat. It is full of color, fragrance and taste, and it is said to be good after eating it." The waiter explained carefully.

"Give me one, and I'll give you a pot of good water and clouds." Ling Ye said.

After the waiter went down, Ling Ye took out the book and read it. From time to time, he heard the nearby table say, "Do you know? Yesterday afternoon, the second young man Zhang Mo, at the gate of the Formation Refining Master Guild, actually made a young man urinate his pants with a shot. Are you funny or not?"

"Really? Who else dares to mess with their family?" said one person in disbelief.

"How can there be falsehood? What I saw with my own eyes yesterday is true. Besides, who dares to build their family's creation when he is tired of living. This is unblocking. Only after so many people see me dare to tell you." The man said confidently: "Do you know who will come in the end?"

"Don't keep it a secret, talk quickly, I like to eat the melons from these aristocratic families the most."

"Zhang Lan and Zhang Ziqing, one of the four heroes in Tiannan, came out and sneaked into the young man with one move. It really lost his title as the humble gentleman Zhang Ziqing. In addition to Han Jing, who is also the four heroes in Tiannan, is also present, and Nan Xuan, the current crown prince of our Qingshui Empire, were all present, and in the end, they were trapped in the formation by the young man. Do you think it is amazing?"

"Damn, so strong? Then what happened in the end? Could that person be lucky to attack the prince?"

"How dare you? The young man heard that it was the prince and immediately closed the formation plate and fled directly before the few people came back to their senses. The faces of these people made the young man beat him up. Now the prince is sending people to search the whole city!

Compared with the above, there is another even more amazing thing that shocks the formation master world. Everyone knows that ordinary non-metallic spiritual power condensed spiritual silk cannot be used as a formation, or even condensation cannot be formed. Yesterday, I saw the formation pattern used by the young man, and the formation pattern on it was purple light. What does this mean? The alien-colored spiritual silk is likely to be condensed by the spirit of heaven and earth. How many of the entire array refining master world are alien-colored spiritual silk? The one who is alien-colored spiritual silk is not a master-level figure in the formation. However, there is no purple spiritual silk appearing.

After hearing this, Ling Ye was shocked. It seemed that the purple spiritual silk had become his exclusive spiritual silk color. If he accidentally leaked out the purple spiritual silk in the future, they would know that it was the formation I carved. When they thought about it, they couldn't help but feel a headache, which was really troublesome.

"It's true or false. If this involves the spirit of heaven and earth, I'm afraid the entire world of immortal cultivation will be in turmoil."

"You guys really don't say that at the Jubao Pavilion auction last night, Jubao Pavilion took out a formation plate to build momentum for this year's Jubao Pavilion auction at the beginning of the year. And Jubao Pavilion is very sure that it was carved by the purple thunder source in the spirit of heaven and earth. Now it seems that the young man is probably the one who sells the array. That person should have met Zhang Mo after leaving Jubao Pavilion, and then he had the next thing." Another table of young swordsmen said.

Ling Ye frowned.

"It's a pity that it's Jubao Pavilion, otherwise there might be some useful news." A man sighed.

"These things are not as true as the news I got from the Luo family last night." The people at the table behind Ling Ye said loudly. Everyone in the hall looked at him, and the young man said with a little satisfaction: "I believe everyone still remembers the year-end auction of Jubao Pavilion a while ago, and the auction of the Spirit Transformation Secret Realm from Jubao Pavilion in Qingjiang City. The major forces are competing for the fierce competition.

In the end, the Luo family defeated the two immortal sects of the Southern Region Feng Lingfengyi for 20 million plus one-level intermediate ranks, and scored the secret realm with 18 million plus one-level intermediate ranks. Now nearly a month has passed. As everyone expected, the Luo family has obtained the support of the Zixutian Sect of the Yin Sect. After obtaining the secret realm key, they explored the secret realm with the Zixutian Sect. It is estimated that something was wrong. Therefore, the Luo family issued a notice overnight to jointly hold a national formation master competition with the Array Refining Master Guild, Tianxing Pavilion, and dozens of other forces. The first three players will obtain a five-star killing formation, Chiyan Tianxing Band of the Band of the Band of the Criminal Realm together, and the qualification to enter the secret realm together."

"So, they are troubled by formations, but in this case, they can directly invite the five-star formation master to go with them. Why do they want to hold this formation refining competition?" a man questioned.

Everyone on the other hand also said, after all, it is easy for the Luo family to ask the five-star formation master for help, so why bother reporting this formation refining master competition, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and financially expensive.

Ling Ye was also confused, put down the tea in his hand and looked back.

"You will understand after I finish speaking," said the young man: "This competition stipulates that the strength must be below the Linghai Realm, and the formation masters with the strength of the Lingquan vein master or above can participate."

"In this case, there should be problems with the secret realm. People with strength above the Linghai realm cannot enter, so the Luo family did not invite a five-star formation master, but wanted to use the formation master competition to choose the formation master to enter the secret realm together." The man was completely enlightened.

Ling Ye used chopsticks to pick up a piece of Yunhai, the size of two fingers, the golden color, and put it into his mouth. He took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious.

"Is there any specific start time and location?" asked one person.

"The finals are scheduled for mid-June of the year, and should be at the same time as this year's Qingshui Immortal Cultivation Conference. The location is the largest Tianmen Stadium in our imperial capital Tiannan City." said the young man.

"In this way, there must be five or six grand events held in Tiannan City this year. March will soon be the preseason for the Tianmen Football Tournament of the mortal world. Teams from major families will gather in the Tianmen Arena to compete for the best. Then in May, the alchemist conference held by the Alchemist Association will also be held at the Tianmen Arena. The formation master competition in June, the Immortal Cultivation Competition, and the Jubao Pavilion mid-year auction conference in July should also be a new product conference, and a series of grand events. I am afraid that Tiannan City will have a sharp rise this year." A middle-aged man said.

Ling Ye heard the middle-aged man say, and was surprised. He had just sat here for a few quarters of an hour and heard so much news. From the beginning, he talked about Zhang Mo's yesterday, the spirit of heaven and earth, and then to the secret realm of the spiritual transformation of the Luo family, and then the formation refining competition and other events. Now they are talking about Tianmen football again. It is true that in three moments, the city teahouses will know the new things in the world.

After Ling Ye finished breakfast, he got up and left. He had to sit down and listen. I guess the inn might not be able to finish listening even after closing.

After leaving the inn, Ling Ye called a carriage to go to the location of Lanyin Pavilion on Wutong Street, Dongcheng. Tiannan City is vast and there are roads dedicated to carriage sprinting in the city. I also fenced and isolated both sides of the road to prevent anyone from walking. Ling Ye took half an hour to get from the south of the city to the entrance of Wutong Avenue in the east of the city.

Wutong Avenue is six feet wide and paved with green bricks, which is extremely flat. The avenue is also filled with people coming and going, and it is a prosperous scene.

Ling Ye quickly walked in and checked the location of Lanyin Pavilion. Halfway through walking, he saw the street turn on the left and the location of Lan's mansion. Ling Ye stopped to look at the side. At this time, the gate of Lan's mansion was opened, but the scene inside was blocked by a rockery with rugged rockery.

However, Lan Xiuxiu only asked him to go to Lanyin Pavilion to find her. Ling Ye left immediately and continued to walk in. Soon after, he saw Lanyin Pavilion Qinfang.

Although the door of Lanyin Pavilion was opened, there was a sign of a closure hanging on one side. Ling Ye entered the piano shop in confusion, and a quiet sandalwood came into the sense of smell. The shop was filled with stringed zithers of five and seven strings.

A woman at the counter saw Ling Ye coming in and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I won't sell pianos these days. If you book, please show our joint certificate."

Ling Ye smiled slightly and said, "I'll come to find Sister Lan."

After hearing this, the woman at the counter looked at Ling Ye and asked, "Are you Mr. Ling Ye?"

Ling Ye nodded and responded. The woman put down the accounts in her hand, walked forward with a smile, and said, "It turns out that Mr. Ling is here. My name is Zhiyi. Please follow me."

Ling Ye followed Zhiyi into the inner hall, walked through a corridor, and appeared in front of a water pavilion. Ling Ye looked at it and couldn't help but sigh that there was such a unique quiet water pavilion attic in this downtown city. It seemed that Sister Lan was indeed extraordinary.

"Young Master Ling, our lady is inside. You go to me and I'll go back to see the store." Zhiyi said, and then went back to the front hall.

Ling Ye then walked around, and the sound of the piano came from time to time. After entering quickly, he saw Lan Xiuxiu, wearing a light blue Qianye pleated skirt, teaching Nannan to play the piano.

The two women looked up and saw Ling Ye coming over. Nannan immediately got up and ran to Ling Ye. Ling Ye stepped forward and picked up Nannan and said, "Do you miss your brother?"

Nannan shook her head and a little pinched Ling Ye's cheek.

"It's not a day yet. Brother Ling Ye has handled the academy's affairs so quickly!" Lan Xiuxiu put a tea set on the table and started making tea.

"Just report it, it's not a troublesome thing, it's over." Ling Ye sat in front of the piano with Nannan in her arms, gently plucked a string with one hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Lan will teach me how to play this seven-stringed lyric!"

"Okay, I will open a piano class after the Lantern Festival. You will come and learn it when the time comes!" Lan Xiuxiu said with a smile.

Ling Ye paused and then said, "That's time. By the way, Sister Lan, today is the second year of the lunar calendar. Why are you in this Qinfang? Haven't you gone home or the sect?"

"I've all returned here last night." Lan Xiuxiu said and stopped again, "When I came back last night, I heard someone eliminated the murders of the people in front of the Chengnan Formation Refining Master Guild, and taught the little devil Zhang Mo a lesson. He also trapped His Royal Highness, the four heroes in the south of the world into the formation. It's really amazing, amazing!"

Lan Xiuxiu's voice was filled with a hint of teasing.

After hearing this, Ling Ye smiled helplessly and said, "Sister Lan doesn't need to mock me anymore. I just entered the capital. I know that these people have so many relationships."

It was not surprising that Lan Xiuxiu guessed that it was her. After all, Lan Xiuxiu was the first person to know her purple spiritual silk.

"I know it was my first time in Beijing and I was so arrogant and fighting with people in the city." Lan Xiuxiu's voice became much more serious, and then she said, "But fortunately, you still know how to wear a mask, otherwise what place you can have in this city now."

Ling Ye didn't explain anything and said directly: "Sister Lan taught her a lesson."

"Come and have tea!" Lan Xiuxiu couldn't help but smile when she saw Ling Ye like this.

The two sat opposite each other. Lan Xiuxiu asked about Ling Ye’s situation yesterday. Ling Ye briefly said something about it, and then said the story about his formation plate that he had heard this morning. Lan Xiuxiu frowned and said, “You should try less with your formation plate in the future. Don’t let people show it. If you think it’s not good to be timid, my sister will give you a move, but it depends on whether you have the courage.”

Ling Ye looked at Lan Xiuxiu and signaled her to continue talking.

"You go directly to the Formation Refining Master Guild to assess a Formation Master, and use your purple spiritual silk. You must also admit that you have the spirit of heaven and earth. The bigger the power, the better. The most important thing is that you have a very strong hidden master sect, don't say it in detail, let them guess. In this way, the sect that everyone is less than a moment of time will see that you have such holy objects as heaven and earth spiritual soul at a young age. You will definitely believe that what you are saying is true. Holding the person who wants to move you will weigh the strength behind you and will not dare to act rashly. Brother Ling Ye, what do you say!"

Lan Xiuxiu said with a smile.

Ling Ye looked at Lan Xiuxiu and raised a thumb in his hand. This is a strange routine. If an ordinary person has the essence of heaven and earth, he will definitely practice deeply, and almost no one dares to say it everywhere.

If Ling Ye spoke up openly and then wandered around without fear, it would definitely make those who want to do something. After all, the essence of heaven and earth is not something that can be obtained by anyone. It can be seen that the person who can possess is definitely a strength or power that is unknown to others. If he takes action rashly, he will probably suffer from the loss of namelessness. As the saying goes, there will be evil in the wrong things. This is not unreasonable.

"Sister Lan, amazing." Ling couldn't help but admire that he could come up with such a countermeasure, but he was not as delicate as some girls. Then he took out five Xuanjin cards in his hand, put them on the table and moved them to Lan Xiuxiu and said, "This is five thousand Xuanjin, I'll give it to Sister Lan."

Lan Xiuxiu was stunned after seeing it. She didn't want to accept it and saw Ling Ye like this again. After all, this is credibility. Then she moved the five Xuanjin cards to the side and said, "Ling Ye, you are intent. You are in a hurry to pay back the money just the second day of the Lunar New Year. If only everyone in the world has such active support for you."

Ling Ye smiled and took out a wooden box from the storage bag. The Qingluan sword was placed inside and handed it to Lan Xiuxiu. He smiled and said, "Sister Lan, I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to give it to you. Today, my brother will also give you a gift to you."

After Lan Xiuxiu saw that the wooden box was not good, but was made of ordinary wood. Judging from the appearance, it was guessed that it was something like a long sword, so she smiled and wanted to take it.

"Sister Lan, it's a bit heavy!" Ling Ye reminded Lan Xiuxiu to use spiritual power. After all, the material of the Qingluan Sword is unusual. Without using spiritual power, he weighs 600 pounds. After using spiritual power, he is as light as a feather.

After hearing this, Lan Xiuxiu immediately used her spiritual power to take the wooden box with her hands, but it was not heavy. Just the weight of the ordinary wooden box, she couldn't help but look at Ling Ye and said, "Is there a painting inside?"

"Sister can't see clearly when you open it." Ling Ye picked up the teacup and sniffed.

Lan Xiuxiu then opened the wooden box, and a magnificent green phoenix sword lay in the wooden box, and continued to radiate a blue halo.

Lan Xiuxiu was shocked when she saw the Qingluan sword, and looked up at Ling Ye with a complicated expression. Just looking at the gorgeousness of the sword sheath is not comparable to that of ordinary swords. Although many good swords do not focus on the appearance, being too gorgeous will make people feel flashy and unreal. However, the scabbard is different, and she doesn't know the material used. Moreover, the Qingluan is always lifelike on it, which gives people the feeling that it is not only gorgeous, but also a spiritual charm.

Lan Xiuxiu picked up two swords, Xiu held the hilt in her hand and gently pulled the sword out of the sheath, and a sound of phoenix spread. A green phoenix bird hovered and flew above it.
