Chapter Eighty: A Test of Skill

  Today's first update!!!

  Bai Li saw Zhang Chong reuse the three Jinxia guards, after using the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation, he suddenly had a strange idea in his heart, so he made a suggestion to Zhang Chong, letting him command him and Lin Ye and Liu Sheng three people, and they also tried their best to exert their spiritual power to the same level, thus bringing out the power of this formation.

  But Zhang Chong listened to Bai Li's suggestion and thought it was very good, but he had no idea how to command the three of them at the same time. He asked:

  "Isn't it that you want me to recite the directions of the body movements without stopping? But even if I do, I can only recite one person's body movement. If I were to recite three people's at the same time, wouldn't they all get jumbled up?"

  He asked this way, and Bai Li was stunned on the spot again, asking in surprise:

  "Have you used Mind Spirit Necklace?"

  "What's this thing?" Zhang Chong asked with a puzzled expression.

  This was a surprise to Bai Li, who had originally seen Zhang Chong's cultivation of the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation, and had also made in-depth studies on the formation of talismans. He thought that he already knew about the Heart Spirit Necklace, but it turned out that this ordinary Heart Spirit Necklace for formation masters was completely unknown to Zhang Chong.

  Fortunately, as a Golden Elixir cultivator, he had some of these treasures with him, although they were not normally used. He took out a yellow radiant necklace from his storage ring.

  Bai Li handed the Heart Spirit Necklace to Zhang Chong, instructing him to put it around his neck. Afterwards, he taught Zhang Chong the incantation to use it. Zhang Chong followed Bai Li's words and slowly stirred up a strand of Heart Spirit from within himself. This strand of Heart Spirit was like a wisp of smoke that drifted towards the location of the Heart Spirit Necklace and then entered into it.

  At this time, Bai Li, Liu Sheng and Lin Ye also urged their heart spirits to put them into the Heart Spirit Necklace. At that moment, Zhang Chong felt a kind of spiritual connection with these three people in front of him.

  No matter what he thought of, as long as he thought about saying it to any one of them, that person would immediately feel the idea he wanted to express.

  "This thing is indeed amazing, much better than speaking to each other directly, and it's also very discreet. I just don't know how many crystal stones are needed to buy one." After hearing this, Bai Li suddenly felt a sense of being petrified. However, he still truthfully told Zhang Chong that the Heart Spirit Necklace was indeed an extremely mature magical artifact, and if used within a range of 100 people for mental transmission, it would only consume about ten four-grade crystal stones at most."

  After the infusion of spiritual energy, the four began to cultivate the Tian Di San Cai formation. Among these four, Bai Li was in the Golden Elixir stage and it wasn't difficult for him to lower his stance to bring out the condensed pulse level cultivation of a cultivator. Liu Sheng had an astonishing talent for controlling power and controlled it with extreme precision. Thus, among the three, Lin Ye was the weakest in this aspect.

  However, two of the three could accommodate one person, making it much easier for the three to exert the same strength. Even so, they failed more than a dozen times before gradually becoming proficient and finding the feeling of cooperation.

  All three of them could feel a very strong aura emanating from among them, linking their movements and techniques closely together.

  Bai Li had not felt this way for a long time. Since becoming a Jindan cultivator, everything he used was the cultivation of the Jindan stage, and there was a huge gap between the Jindan stage and the Condensing Pulse stage. The three realms of the Jindan stage each have a gap every three levels. In the few years since he became a Jindan cultivator, he quickly reached the third level of cultivation, but at this point, he couldn't break through again.

  There were several times when he stubbornly wanted to break through to the fourth stage, and he used more power than he could control. Unexpectedly, in his haste, he encountered several great dangers and almost lost his life.

  This time, although he only used a small part of the spiritual power in his body, the peace in his heart was unexpected. In his eyes, there were no enemies, but rather a focused search for Liu Shenglin and Ye Er's powers, determined to reach that tacit understanding through his unique movements and rhythm.

  At last, a resonant feeling, like ripples, spread out from around his body. This feeling was so wonderful that in that instant, he felt an extremely intense aura rise up from among the three of them, and this aura connected them even more tightly than their interlocking hearts.

  In his heart, he also received Zhang Chong's next command, and he took the lead in the subsequent attack. In Bai Li's eyes, a fierce light burst out, and the black long sword in his hand was like a brush, lightly sweeping towards the front. A tangible ink mark condensed from mid-air. At this time, Liu Sheng and Lin Ye's powers also surged over from behind. The three powers merged into one place, but they did not conflict with each other, instead perfectly merging together, and the two powers were invisible, directly pouring into the ink mark.

  The ink mark suddenly accelerated, floating forward and printing on the wall in front, with a loud crash, the wall also trembled slightly for a while before stopping.

  Zhang Chong saw the three of them come to make the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation, and was able to produce such a powerful force. At this time, he was also surprised and delighted. He immediately thought that if he were to replace Bai Li's role and join forces with Lin Ye and Liu Sheng, would they be able to reach such a level of power? If so, then just the three of them should be able to defeat Luo Mudan.

  Thinking of this, he was extremely delighted. After all, Luo Mudan was his greatest enemy. If they were lucky enough to get out of this period, Bai Li and Lan Ningxue would not interfere with their previous affairs. As for Luo Mudan, that powerful opponent, it would be easy to defeat them one by one.

  Then, in the following days, the four of them took turns to cultivate, and after each session, they would share their experiences with each other. Among them, Bai Li's cultivation was the highest, and his gains were also the greatest. His gains also helped the other three people, who made great progress.

  Thanks to this, Zhang Chong didn't spend much time before he could proficiently use the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation with Lin Ye and Liu Sheng. The two strands of spiritual energy and demonic powers within his body were also controlled more smoothly under his cultivation during this period. In battle, even if he released 10% of his spiritual energy and demonic powers, he could control it extremely stably and wouldn't lose control again, causing harm to himself.

  "Let's go, we're going to find Luo Mudan." Zhang Chong reassessed the power of the three of them in the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation, and only then did he feel confident, ready to go find Luo Mudan for a challenge.

  Luomudan and the people here are generally in a hostile state, she usually stays alone to practice, unless it's extremely boring, she will go find someone to talk to. At other times, no one will come looking for her. Also because of this, Zhang Chong, Lin Ye and Liu Sheng's arrival was indeed a surprise to her. After Zhang Chong explained the purpose of their visit, she was stunned for a while before bursting into laughter, and after a long time, she said in a soft voice...

  "As the old saying goes, 'after three days, one should look at each other with new eyes'. I wonder if my cultivation towards you all is also going to make me look at you with new eyes after just three days? However, previously more than ten of you were unable to defeat me, now there are only three of you. Are you trying to use me as entertainment because you're feeling too bored in this ancient city?"

  "We're being serious, so let's make a bet. If we win, you'll leave us alone and just go back to Qing Yi Men to report. If we lose, then after leaving the ancient city, don't bother using your hands, just take us with you."

  Zhang Chong's words were indeed refreshing. Upon hearing this, Luo Mudan was moved and said:

  "She said, her eyes gazing at Bai Li. This move was clearly significant, among these people, only Bai Li and Lan Ningxue could surpass her. As long as they didn't falter, she had a great deal of confidence that she would be able to bring Zhang Chong and the others back."

  Bai Li saw her looking at him and also smiled, standing with his hands clasped together, saying:

  "We don't know the reason behind this matter, so we won't interfere."

  "Alright, since that's the case, let's compare and see who's better. Let me experience the three of your skills." Luomudan saw Baili speaking like this and also put his mind at ease, and smiled as he said.
