I Just Won't Play By The Book

428 Art Piece (2) After confirming her position, Gu Qinghuan took a step toward the southeast.

“Three steps and nine traces, traces form a ridge. Li hexagram, step!”

Gu Qinghuan took nine steps in a row and felt his spiritual awareness shake. Then, he arrived in the self-barrier of his senior brother.

Slowly opening his eyes, Gu Qinghuan took a deep breath and couldn’t help but exclaim,””The spiritual energy has become denser.”

Gu Qinghuan had been here a few times when Jiang Beiran had been building his own barrier. Every time she came, she would feel that the spiritual energy here had reached its peak. However, the next time she came, she would find that the peak had been broken by her senior.

“You’re here.” Jiang Beiran, who had just walked out of the greenhouse, said to Gu Qinghuan.

“Greetings, Senior Brother.” Gu Qinghuan bowed respectfully.

Wiping the mud off his hands, Jiang Beiran walked to the tea table and picked up the teapot.””I called you here this time because I need to go on a long trip. I’ll have to rely on you to maintain this barrier for the time being.”

“Please rest assured, Senior Brother.” Gu Qinghuan immediately cupped his hands.

“Yes.” After pouring himself a cup of tea, Jiang Beiran waved at Gu Qinghuan. “Come, try my new tea.”

“Yes.” After bowing, Gu Qinghuan stepped forward and took the teacup from his senior brother.

Gu Qinghuan blew on the hot air and took a sip from the cup.

As soon as the tea entered her mouth, Gu Qinghuan felt a special spiritual energy surge into her throat.

After drinking the entire cup of tea, Gu Qinghuan felt a burning sensation in his dantian, as if there was a nameless fire burning.

“How do you feel?” Jiang Beiran asked after pouring another cup.

“Compared to the taste of the sweet rain, that spiritual energy is more refreshing. I’m afraid that only Senior Brother can brew such good tea in this world.”

“Hahaha!” Jiang Beiran laughed a few times before asking,”Can you tell what’s so special about this Spiritual Qi?””

“Yes, but I don’t know where this special thing comes from. Senior Brother, please enlighten me.”

The Spirit Sealing Formation. Light Array…Spirit Release Formation… Spirit infusion array…

‘Wow, such a small spirit stone can actually be used to set up seven arrays…Who was it?’

As he studied the Earth Grade spirit stone that Lin Yuyan had taken out, Jiang Beiran realized that this thumb-sized piece of spirit stone was actually engraved with seven formations from inside to outside. This was completely beyond his understanding.

He tried to inject a little spiritual energy into the spirit stone, and the earth grade spirit stone immediately emitted a faint green light.

“I see.”

The first layer of Spirit Sealing was to prevent the spirit stones from dispersing naturally, achieving the most perfect sealing effect.

The second layer of the dazzling array set a threshold. If the spiritual energy stored in the spirit stone was higher than this threshold, the entire spirit stone would emit a faint light. If it was lower than this threshold, it would not emit light.

In this way, it was easy to determine whether the amount of spiritual energy in the spirit stone was up to standard based on whether the spirit stone was glowing or not.

The third layer of the Spirit Releasing Array was like a switch. When the Spirit Releasing Array was activated, the spirit qi in the spirit stone would be released to prevent the situation of ‘leakage’ from happening.

The fourth layer of the Spirit Injecting Formation was also a switch. As long as this formation was activated, it could guide the spiritual energy into the spirit stone. It was quite difficult to pour the spiritual energy into the spirit stone. It required one to be proficient in the formation of the 16 Arts of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and refining jade at the same time. Therefore, some large sects would raise such experts.

The fifth layer was an engraving array, which was used as an anti-counterfeit mark. As long as spiritual power was injected, different patterns would appear on the surface of the spirit stone to prove which sect the spirit stone came from.

The sixth layer was a concealment array. As the saying goes, treasure brings disaster. This array could completely hide the aura of the spirit stone, preventing it from being discovered by nearby experts, and also reducing the risk of being robbed.

The seventh layer was the Vajra Formation. Although the spirit stones themselves were quite sturdy, just in case, he had set up another layer of formation to strengthen it.

” What is a work of art? This is a work of art!

After thoroughly understanding the effects of the seven formations, Jiang Beiran could not help but sigh inwardly.

Compared to these exquisite spirit stone coins, the spirit stones of the Sheng Country were simply crudely made. The difference was heaven and earth.

“Keep it.” Jiang Beiran said as he pushed the Earth-rank spirit stone in front of Lin Yuyan.

Watching Lin Yuyan put the Earth Grade spirit stone back into the jade token, Jiang Beiran pondered for a moment and said,””I need some time to prepare. Wait for me here the day after tomorrow.”

Hearing that her senior brother was really willing to help her, Lin Yuyan couldn’t help but tremble. Then, a sense of security washed over her like a tide.

Although her senior brother acted as if he had never set foot in the Central Plains before, Lin Yuyan felt that as long as she followed this man in front of her, there was nothing she could not do.

“Yes, sir! Senior Brother.” Lin Yuyan nodded vigorously.

Nodding, Jiang Beiran stood up and left the pavilion. Under Lin Yuyan’s watchful eyes, he slowly disappeared into the night.

‘Senior Brother…’ Biting her little finger, Lin Yuyan’s face was flushed red, and her eyes were almost reflecting two heart-shaped hearts.

After returning to the self-protection barrier in Jinyao Town, Jiang Beiran went in and replaced a middle-tier spirit stone that had almost been drained of spiritual energy.

Holding the middle-grade spirit stone in his hand, Jiang Beiran pondered for a while, but he still couldn’t figure out how to engrave the seven formations.

Sitting on a bamboo chair, Jiang Beiran absorbed the increasingly dense Spiritual Qi in his barrier and pondered about the system upgrade and his trip to the Central Plains.

From the sudden appearance of the Charm attribute, Jiang Beiran had reason to believe that his Skill Points had also been updated. In addition, his trip to the Central Plains this time would probably bring him back to the wonderful times when he could trigger options a dozen times at any time.

However, a new problem arose.

Although it was a good thing that the system had updated the rewards, would the difficulty of obtaining them increase? According to Lin Yuyan’s description, in addition to the large spiritual veins in the Sheng Country, even if Mystique Venerable Ones weren’t everywhere and the Mystical Faction wasn’t as weak as dogs, the number of experts would probably increase several times.

It was unknown whether the system could still help him overcome the “Heavenly Tribulations” one after another.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Beiran had brought all of his assets with him. Over the past three months, he had created many top-grade spirit herbs, talisman papers, jade slips, and so on in his self-protection barrier. His ability to protect himself had increased by another level.

” I hope I can calculate the aunt’s location when I get there.’

The next morning, Gu Qinghuan arrived at Jinyao Town after receiving a summons from her senior brother. She was greeted with compliments from the maids and butlers as she went to the backyard.

Gu Qinghuan took out a talisman and bit it in her mouth. She slowly closed her eyes and activated her mystic conscious.

“Open!”

Gu Qinghuan shouted, and a Blue Luan Array appeared in the darkness.

Raising her right hand, Gu Qinghuan pinched the roots of her four fingers with her thumb and chanted.

“Zi.”

Then, he pinched the base of his two fingers with his thumb.

“Yin.”

Then, he pinched the first and second joints of his fingers with his thumb.

“Yu.”

..

After forming seven seals in a row, the talisman in Gu Qinghuan’s mouth lit up with a golden light.

Then, he recalled his senior brother’s teachings.

‘The Big Dipper is the middle bucket. The middle bucket is the star, and the lower part becomes the nine spirits. Follow the spirits and walk. The footprints form nine, which is the star order.’

After confirming her position, Gu Qinghuan took a step toward the southeast.

“Three steps and nine traces, traces form a ridge. Li hexagram, step!”

Gu Qinghuan took nine steps in a row and felt his spiritual awareness shake. Then, he arrived in the self-barrier of his senior brother.
