Although Qin Changqing’s words sounded reasonable at first, Nangong Xue did not agree with his idea.
Because in the cultivation world, it is generally believed that one should eliminate all emotions and desires in the pursuit of immortality. If there are too many distractions, Heart Devils will be born, hindering one’s cultivation.
Sometimes, in order to get through emotional tribulations, people would deliberately find someone to accompany them on their path. Therefore, to a cultivator, a Taoist couple can be either a husband and wife or just like-minded friends.
Nangong Xue found Qin Changqing very strange. Was he an undercover agent sent from the Hehuan Sect specifically to find a partner for dual cultivation?
“Sister, what do you think?” Qin Changqing asked expectantly.
“I…” Nangong Xue’s mouth twitched, “Senior Brother, if you’re tired, take some rest first.
“I’m not tired; I feel quite energetic.”
“Well, I’m tired.”
Nangong Xue wondered whether it would be better to just release the Blood Coral and leave this place.
Three years had passed, and each year and even each month, was extremely important to her.
Therefore, she had no intention of discussing the matter of dual cultivation with Qin Changqing.
“Fine, you rest first, Sister. I’ll go break an Array Formation.” Qin Changqing said with a smile.
Feeling uninterested, Nangong Xue went to practice on her own.
She didn’t believe that Qin Changqing could break the Array Formation.
However, even when Qin Changqing said those frivolous words in front of her, Nangong Xue found that she wasn’t angry.
Instead, she felt sad for her Senior Brother, who had strayed into the evil path.
“What on earth has happened to Senior Brother during these years?” Nangong Xue closed her eyes and couldn’t help but wonder.
She had previously received a message from MO Jiuzhou who asked her to take care of Qin Changqing.
Nangong Xue didn’t think much about it. She just abided by her Master’s orders. After all, without MO Jiuzhou’s help, she wouldn’t have been able to cultivate so undisturbed for so many years.
“Maybe, I can ask Master about this.”
Nangong Xue thought silently.
Then she removed all distractions from her mind and focused on her cultivation.
Half a day later, Qin Changqing returned from breaking the formation, and Nangong Xue was still cultivating.
Qin Changqing left.
Yet another day passed, Qin Changqing came and went again, and Nangong Xue was still cultivating.
On the third day, after Nangong Xue finished her cultivation, she saw Qin Changqing come over with a tri-color brocade chicken in his hand.
She looked at him puzzled, “Senior Brother, where did this brocade chicken come from?”
It was a live brocade chicken.
And a storage bag couldn’t store live chicken.
“I hunted it from the neighboring hill.” Qin Changqing said matter-of-factly, “There’s also a river nearby, I originally wanted to catch some fish for you to taste, but as you know, my expertise is in cooking chicken. Let’s try this one first. Sister Nangong, Sister Lingshuang and the others love the chicken I cook. ”
Nangong Xue nodded, indeed, everyone on Xuanyi Peak loved Qin Changqing’s cooking.
Um… What?
“Wait.” She suddenly reacted, “A hill? A river? Where did these come from inside the formation?”
“Obviously, outside of the formation. I went out and caught it just for you.” Qin Changqing said while processing the chicken.
“You went out?”
At first, Nangong Xue thought her Senior Brother was lying to her, but then she saw the brocade chicken and realized something was wrong. Wait, it’s a mess… did Senior Brother really go out? Did he break the formation?
“Yes, as soon as I broke the formation, I went out to try it.”
Nangong Xue was astonished.
Qin Changqing looked up and smiled:
“I did tell you that I know a thing or two about Array Formation.””You call this ‘knowing a little bit’?!”
“Sister Nangong, the path of cultivation is vast, profound and deep. What I know is just the tip of the iceberg.” Qin Changqing said humbly.
Nangong Xue fell silent.
Although she thought it was impossible, the fact was right in front of her. “It’s a pity you didn’t bet with me earlier, or we would already be a Taoist couple now.”
Forcing herself not to think about things like Taoist couples and dual cultivation, Nangong Xue couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Brother, how did you manage to do it?”
She was very curious.
If she didn’t figure this out, it would feel like there were ten thousand ants crawling over her.
Qin Changqing joked, “If I tell you, will you be my Taoist partner?”
“Senior Brother! ”
“Alright, alright, all you sisters just love getting something for nothing.”
Qin Changqing shook his head, “Sister Nangong, do you think there are only four formation points in the Heaven and Earth Qianhe Array?”
“Yes, I’ve been researching it here for three years and have indeed only found four formation points. There shouldn’t be any others.”
Because she knew the location of the formation points, Nangong Xue was not in a hurry.
After thousands of years, the power of Array Formation had weakened. Destroying it did not require Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, but once the array was forcibly broken, Blood Coral Lake would undoubtedly infiltrate the Tiankui Mountain Range. Locating it afterwards would be akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
“You are wrong.” Qin Changqing said.
“Where did I go wrong?”
“You were wrong in thinking there are only four formation points, when there are actually five.” Qin Changqing plucked feathers from a chicken as he spoke, “The four images correspond to the four elements of metal, wood, water, and fire, which are the locations of the four formation points.
However, the power source of this array also has another element, which is earth.”
“The Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North respectively correspond to wood, fire, metal, and water. The element of earth at the center serves as the main force and represents the Yellow Dragon. This is the foundation of the Heaven and Earth Qianhe Array’s terrain changes, as well as the location of the most distinctive formation point.”
“Because this fifth formation point is not fixed, ordinary people cannot find it. Only by breaking the four image formation points can one find the location of the fifth element through the flow of energy, and ultimately break the entire array. During this process, the main force of the earth element causes the terrain to change, trapping people inside, making it extremely difficult to break the array.”
After listening to Qin Changqing’s words, Nangong Xue’s face revealed a sudden realization.
No wonder, she always felt like something was missing.
She had actually noticed that the terrain changes were dominated by the earth element, but because she hadn’t seen the formation point of the earth force, she had ignored it.
Now, looking back, if she hadn’t been able to break the mystery within, she might not have found the Blood Coral even after three more years.
“Senior Brother, the Heaven and Earth Qianhe Array is a third-order array. If you can break it, doesn’t that mean you’ve already become a third-order Formation Master?” Nangong Xue asked in surprise.
“I guess so.” Actually, I’m almost at the fourth-order, but I won’t tell you. I’m just having fun.
“Senior Brother, you really are a genius!” Nangong Xue exclaimed.
The reason she thought so was because, before she left the mountain, Qin Changqing hadn’t been involved in array formations at all.
In less than twenty years, he had already become a third-order Formation Master.
And that was while his cultivation had been continuously breaking through.
Such talent was unparalleled in the entire Tianchuan State.
Thinking about this, Nangong Xue said, “Senior Brother, if you focus on cultivating array formations in the future, you might even be able to enter the
Dao through array formations.”
There are three thousand paths to the Dao, all leading to the same destination. Although the path of array cultivation is not considered a standard way, this doesn’t mean that array formations are weak.
In fact, a Formation Master at the same realm is not someone many would dare to provoke.
With Qin Changqing’s talent, if he could achieve the level of a fifth-order Formation Master, he would definitely have a place in Tianchuan State.
Thinking about this, Nangong Xue felt happy for Qin Changqing.
However, Qin Changqing said, “Forget it, I don’t have time. I need to dual cultivate.”
Nangong Xue: “With this kind of talent, what the hell do you need to dual cultivate for?!”
