Chapter 190: Chapter 189 Spirit Summoning Array (Please Subscribe) The gentle breeze blew, crisp and cool air filled the atmosphere. From afar, the mountains seemed to be shrouded in mist, lending an ethereal, fairyland-like feel. At dawn, the southern city gate was already wide open, and Bai Ziyue walked out at a leisurely pace, his heart spirit calm, carrying an air of vigor. Soon, Ten-Mile Slope came into view. From a distance, he saw several figures quietly waiting by a pavilion next to Ten-Mile Slope. "Fellow Daoist Bai has arrived." As Bai Ziyue approached, a greeting quickly sounded. It was Zhou Licheng, the organizer of this expedition. Beside him stood the independent cultivator elder, Elder Wu, and the Pavilion Master of Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, Ji Fengniang. "Seems like I’m neither too early nor late." Bai Ziyue said, greeting Elder Wu and Ji Fengniang and the others one by one. Yet, when he looked at Ji Fengniang, his gaze couldn’t help but flicker slightly. If he wasn’t mistaken, the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion where Ji Fengniang resided had some connections with the Immortal Cultivation Clan, the Di Family. Otherwise, when Lu Qingyun engaged in assassination attempts at that time, the courtesan from Celestial Fragrance Pavilion wouldn’t have concealed and aided him. Still, after thinking it over, he revealed no other expression. *This time he was representing himself alone and indeed should not get involved in matters concerning the Sunburst Gang.* "With Fellow Daoist arriving first, would you be willing to conduct a trade first? This journey to Mist Valley has me feeling quite anxious, and Fellow Daoist’s Bursting Flame Talisman is truly powerful, and the divine light shield talisman offers strong defense. I really wish to have a few to safeguard myself." Ji Fengniang approached gracefully, portraying a rather delicate demeanor. "Fellow Daoist Bai, I am also quite tempted by your talismans. I wonder if I could have a few to protect myself?" Zhou Licheng hurriedly spoke up. "You two are too courteous, but unfortunately, my energy is limited, and in such a short time, I couldn’t craft many spirit talismans. I barely have enough for myself, so I dare not distribute them. Therefore, I can only apologize here." Bai Ziyue shook his head and declined. "Since Fellow Daoist himself doesn’t have enough, I, Old Wu, wouldn’t force. Originally, I hoped to obtain a few Divine Eye Talismans from Fellow Daoist, but it seems I’ll be disappointed." With a sigh of regret, Elder Wu also spoke. He valued the Divine Eye Talisman the most, as when activated, the spiritual eye cyan light applied to his own eyes allowed him to see further and more clearly than with his own spiritual eye technique. This was rare and precious, and he had long been interested. Coincidentally, they were heading to a foggy valley, plus there was the enchanting soul formation enveloping it, making the Divine Eye Talisman incredibly useful. However, Bai Ziyue had already refused, leaving him a bit disappointed. "Regarding the Divine Eye Talismans, I could spare a few." Bai Ziyue thought for a moment and spoke up. He had already elevated the spiritual eye technique to the level of Dharma Instinct, allowing him to deploy this magic at a whim, consuming little spiritual power, so he wasn’t too concerned about the Divine Eye Talismans. Saying this, he reached into his chest, and eight Divine Eye Talismans appeared in his hand. "Good, with several fellow daoists present, I, Old Wu, shouldn’t take too many. I’ll take four first. After all, it’s imminent to go to Mist Valley. I’ll price each at twenty-five Spirit Stones for you, how about that?" Elder Wu felt joy in his heart and quickly spoke. "Certainly, that’s allowing me a good deal." Bai Ziyue quickly nodded in agreement. Each priced at twenty-five, which was five more than the previous price. Eight Divine Eye Talismans, allowing him to earn an extra forty Spirit Stones. "Then for the remaining four, let them be split between me and Old Scrooge Zhou." Upon hearing this, Ji Fengniang quickly said. Although she hadn’t obtained the Bursting Flame Talisman and divine light shield talisman she most desired, since Elder Wu valued the Divine Eye Talismans so highly, it must be a great item, and she was naturally unwilling to pass up. Thus, the transaction was completed quickly. Bai Ziyue gained another two hundred Spirit Stones. Shortly after, from a distance, he saw Xie Gucang, Five Elders Root, Lady Blood, and Zhang Xianshi approaching together. "Since everyone’s here, let’s not delay, let’s go!" After exchanging greetings, Zhou Licheng spoke, leading the way ahead. "No rush!" Elder Wu spoke up, lightly leaping directly onto the pavilion. Then, his eyes flashed, revealing a divine light, as he began observing in all directions. After a good while, he leaped down from the pavilion and said, "The Immortal Dao is hard, and Loose Cultivators have it even harder. A little extra vigilance ensures a little extra safety." Saying this, he signaled Zhou Licheng to lead the way. On the journey, to speed up, everyone used the Light Body Technique, leaping and bounding through the forest, swift as they came; different scenes flashed past their eyes. Two hours later, everyone appeared at a halfway point on the mountain peak. "Is it nearby?" Zhang Xianshi saw Zhou Licheng halt his Divine Movement and looked around at the surroundings, slightly furrowing his brows. The place was rich in shrubs but sparsely populated, even Spiritual Qi was not that abundant. Calling this place the spiritual land where the Mist Valley was located indeed seemed hard to believe. "Naturally, it’s not. However, the Mist Valley was only a few miles away from here, not far at all. The reason for stopping here was to let everyone recover Spiritual Power, otherwise, if a battle were to break out later it would be hard to recuperate." Zhou Licheng spoke while finding a spot for himself, sitting cross-legged, and then took out a Spirit Stone, beginning to recover. The others nodded in agreement and did not say more, all finding a spot to start recovering. After two hours of continuous traveling, even if using Light Body Technique, a magic that consumed less Spiritual Power, everyone’s power had been depleted by nearly half. In such a state, they certainly weren’t prepared to meet the upcoming battle. Bai Ziyue sat on a rock and similarly took out a Spirit Stone. Compared to relying on Soul Energy for recovery, Bai Ziyue preferred using Spirit Stones. *Recovery through Soul Energy, although convenient and fast, seemed not to consume too much. Yet, the state of his Soul Energy always remained insufficiently lacking, naturally calling for restraint.* *Furthermore, in front of others, using Spirit Stones seemed safer.* Minutes later, a Spirit Stone turned to powder, followed by the second one. When the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside the second Spirit Stone was halved, Bai Ziyue finally fully recovered and opened his eyes. At this time, others also recovered their Spiritual Power, all reaching peak condition. Ten minutes later, a giant valley almost entirely shrouded in mist appeared before everyone’s eyes. The perimeter of the valley was lush with woods, but it was evident that there were faint paths resembling beast trails leading deeper within. "It indeed contains an array; from the surrounding Spiritual Power’s flow, it seems to be the Spirit Summoning Array." Old Wu observed the surrounding environment and commented. "Spirit Summoning Array?" Bai Ziyue asked with a hint of doubt. "A Spirit Summoning Array is a formation that channels Spiritual Qi. Even a common place can gradually become enriched with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi once a Spirit Summoning Array is set up. Over many years, Spiritual Qi sinks, which can alter the geography of a place, transforming ordinary lands into spiritual lands. However, to trigger such an effect, it would require accumulation over hundreds of years at least." Old Wu explained further, paused briefly, and then continued, "Heard from Fellow Daoist Zhou that this place is a spiritual land. Old Wu has cultivated for a century and stayed here in Wujiang County for sixty years yet never heard of any Cultivator residing nearby, nor heard of any spiritual land here. So clearly, this Mist Valley is indeed a newly formed spiritual land transformed by sinking Spiritual Qi, formed over more than a hundred years. Additionally, I estimate that no one stepped foot here for at least a hundred years. Even if someone did, they probably perished within." "I see." Bai Ziyue nodded in understanding, while the others silently nodded in agreement. "Alright, let’s go in. Such a place certainly deserves exploration." Old Wu said, without arrogance, taking out his commonly used Magical Artifacts before proceeding ahead into the valley. The others followed closely, without exception, taking out their Magical Artifacts, some even clenched one or two talismans, ready to trigger them instantly. As they approached further, the surrounding mist thickened progressively. Even with their vision, the range was quite limited; even Bai Ziyue, though his spiritual eye technique enhanced to Dharma Instinct level, could only see thirty meters ahead. However, contrastingly, they also could feel the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had become much more enriched. Compared to the outside, it was at least three to four times more; calling it a spiritual land indeed wasn’t exaggerative. "Careful!" Five Elders Root suddenly exclaimed. All then saw a multitude of stones swiftly shooting toward them. "It’s the Strong Ape, little expected that just entering Mist Valley we encountered them." Zhou Licheng said hurriedly, activating the Defensive Spiritual Artifact Cyan Rattan Shield in his hand. The Thirty-three Forbidden Dharma Artifact Cyan Rattan Shield immediately erected a faint cyan defense shield, blocking all the massive stones. He then slightly gestured, and a seven-inch knife transformed into lightning-like speed, shooting out. Spirit Light Shield! Bai Ziyue envisaged and directly cast the Spirit Light Shield spell before him. Subsequently, he focused his thoughts, controlling the Cyan Light Sword, transforming it into a stream of light, directly hacking toward a Strong Ape. Puff! The Strong Ape fiercely threw a human-head-sized rock, effortlessly shattered by the Cyan Light Sword, and then, with unstoppable momentum, penetrated through its head and out the other side. Instantly, the Strong Ape was dead.
