Actually, Victor had also gained a lot from his conversation with Taoist Priest Chi Lian. Although he had already grasped the knowledge of the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation, there were many things that were merely theoretical.
For example, some of the formation materials were probably only available in the upper planes, so he needed to find some substitutes in the East continent.
For example, if one’s cultivation was limited, it was impossible to control a talisman.
All of this required Taoist Priest Chi Lian’s experience after a long period of trial and error.
He told Victor without reservation, and Victor silently noted it down. Although he was not strong enough now, there would come a time when he would need to use the formation in the future.
As they conversed, Taoist Priest Chi Lian became more and more impressed with the “master” behind Victor.
He couldn’t even get his hands on the many materials used by the “master”. With his cultivation base, he couldn’t even control the talisman that Victor had set up. This was evident.
There was always someone better than him!
Taoist Priest Chi Lian couldn’t help but sigh again.
Another two hours passed, Taoist Priest Chi Lian’s face was glowing red. He pulled Victor and said, “Little Brother Victor, the gains I received from the chat I had with you today was equivalent to me going into a closed-door cultivation for 30 years!”
This wasn’t an exaggeration. If Taoist Priest Chi Lian wanted to comprehend the things Victor said himself, even if it was 30 years, he might not have discovered as many new findings.
“I’ve learned a lot from my conversation with senior.” Victor felt a little strange when he heard the term ‘little brother’.
Taoist Priest Chi Lian was more than two hundred years old. How could he call a 15-year-old youth a brother?
“Haha, don’t flatter me. You’ve been the one talking and I’ve been listening. I’ve gained too much today.
“I need to meditate and improve the nine-palace fire spell formation.
“Little Brother Victor, your sword will be refined after I finish modifying the formation.
“When I use the new nine-palace fire spell formation to refine it, the effect will be even better. To a certain extent, I can purify the purple essence gold!” Taoist Priest Chi Lian’s voice was filled with excitement.
After the nine-palace fire spell formation was upgraded, he would be closer and closer to his ultimate goal of refining a heaven-grade spirit tool.
“Then… Little Brother Victor, little kid of the Ye family, you can stay here with me for the next few days.
“I’ll give you the best place to cultivate. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is incomparably dense, and it’s definitely better than the cultivation formation of Green Dragon Mountain!
“You can cultivate and absorb the pure spiritual energy as much as you want!”
Ye Lingxuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard Taoist Priest Chi Lian’s words.
Victor had suddenly become Little Brother Victor, but she was still a child of the Ye family. Her trip to Zhong Ding Mountain this time was really beyond her expectations.
“It’s here.”
Taoist Priest Chi Lian pushed open a heavy wooden door engraved with a sealing spell formation. He pointed at a fiery red stone altar in the door and said to Victor and Ye Lingxuan behind him.
As the door opened, Victor felt a tidal wave of heaven and earth spiritual energy gushing towards him. The heaven and earth spiritual energy was so dense that it had almost materialized!
If he could cultivate here every day, his cultivation speed would definitely increase by leaps and bounds!
“The stone altar created by the bright moonstone suppressed the source of the spiritual vein…” Ye Lingxuan was shocked. This place was indeed better than the cultivation grounds of Green Dragon Mountain.
Seeing Ye Lingxuan’s shock, Taoist Priest Chi Lian revealed a smug expression.
He had absolute confidence in his cultivation grounds. This was the place where he usually cultivated.
He had chosen this cave on this unfrequented area of the Zhong Ding Mountain for the sake of setting up the nine-palace fire spell formation and this cultivation treasure ground.
This was the eye of the spirit vein of Zhong Ding Mountain. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so dense that it seemed physical. In addition to the ancient spirit gathering formation that he had spent a lot of effort to set up, this was definitely a cultivation holy land that cultivators dreamed of.
“Whether it’s improving the nine-palace fire spell formation or forging a sword, it’s not something that can be done in a day. In the meantime, both of you can cultivate here. If you need anything, just let me know.”
After Taoist Priest Chi Lian finished speaking, he left eagerly. He was going to study his spell formation.
Crack!
The wooden door closed, and the sealing spell formation on the door lit up, gathering all the spiritual qi of heaven and earth into the cultivation room.
Ye Lingxuan looked around the secret room. Not only were there stone altars for cultivation, but there were also many daily necessities.
There was even a bedroom on one side, but of course, there was only one bed.
But that did not matter. At Ye Lingxuan’s level, it was normal for her to meditate and cultivate instead of sleeping. Moreover, she was not used to using someone else’s bed.
“Victor, I estimate that it will take Taoist Priest Chi Lian at least one to two months to complete the formation and the sword. During this time, why don’t you learn some of the water and wood dual-element techniques of Green Dragon Mountain with me?”
Ye Lingxuan glanced around and turned to look at Victor. She said with a smile, although it was very likely that Victor had a master from the upper realm.
However, she did not expect to rely on Victor to build a relationship with that person. A person of such a level was really too far away from her.
Victor hesitated for a moment and said, “Elder Ye, I plan to swallow a foundation establishment pill first.”
Ye Lingxuan was slightly startled. “Swallow it now? I think it’s a little too early. Although foundation establishment pills are high-grade spiritual herbs, eating too many of them will still affect the foundation.
“You need to spend some time to consolidate your cultivation. Why don’t you leave the foundation establishment pill to break through the foundation establishment bottleneck?”
Ye Lingxuan said casually. She naturally didn’t think that it would be any waste if Victor ate foundation establishment pills in the spirit gathering stage.
“No, I’ll eat them now. I’ve made up my mind.”
As Victor cultivated by himself these days, he realized that it was impossible for him to reach the foundation establishment realm in a short time.
His cultivation was too slow, and downloading top-grade talents, like Elder Ye’s talent, was calculated according to the year.
When he first downloaded the talent from Master Zhang Lingren, it had already taken him two years.
He did not have a good opportunity, so he might as well use the resources he had.
What he wanted to know now was, how effective would an ordinary foundation establishment pill be?
Ye Lingxuan did not try to persuade Victor. She was already used to believing in Victor.
In her opinion, as long as Victor decided to do something, even if it seemed impossible, he would still succeed.
Stroking the hair on her forehead, Ye Lingxuan said, “Then you take it. I have a bottle of vein cleansing spirit liquid and a few medicinal primers here. If you take it together with the foundation establishment pill, the effect will be better.”
After saying that, Ye Lingxuan flipped her hand and three crystal clear medicine bottles appeared in her hand.
There were many things to pay attention to when taking the foundation establishment pill. The medicinal primer could better unleash the medicinal effects of the foundation establishment pill, and the vein cleansing spirit liquid could remove pill poison to a certain extent.
Victor took the bottles, poured them all into his mouth, and swallowed the longan-sized, crystal-like foundation establishment pill.
After that, he sat cross-legged on the stone altar and meditated.
The foundation establishment pill melted in his mouth and turned into a hot current that exploded in his body. It mixed into his meridians, and waves of stinging pain followed.
