Chapter 115: He Is Still Here! What Is He Trying to Do?

It was the yellow defensive formation that Huang Qi had used when he was fighting with him.
Now that he was looking at the nine-palace fire spell formation, it was even more mysterious than the formation that he had seen on the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Such dense fire spiritual energy, yet not a single trace of heat was emitted. It had to be said that this formation setup was truly impressive.
It was a pity that when he was in the grand competition, he did not have the time to download the cultivation techniques related to spell formation. Otherwise, he would really be able to understand it.
After a long moment of silence, an aged voice sounded.
“The little kid from the Ye family of Green Dragon Mountain? I’m busy. What is it?”
Ye Lingxuan said respectfully, “I’m here to ask senior to help me forge a long sword!”
“Forge a spirit weapon? I’m busy right now. Come back in five years. I might still have some time then.”
Five years?
Ye Lingxuan was also stunned. Victor was also extremely speechless when he heard this. To the two of them, five years was an exaggerated amount of time.
After all, Taoist Priest Chi Lian had ample time to refine treasures. Moreover, in order to get to know him, many people would gift him items to help him extend his life and raise his realm. All of this was for the hopes that they could have an appointment with him in the future.
But for Ye Lingxuan and Victor, they couldn’t afford to wait.
Ye Lingxuan was exceptionally talented. She was only 39 years old, and her cultivation had already reached the spiritual pedestal realm. Her lifespan was as long as 500 years. Not to mention five years, she could even wait for 50 years.
However, Green Dragon Mountain would face a great calamity in five years, and the Deep-sea Ghost Domain would make a comeback. She couldn’t afford to wait.
As for Victor, in five years’ time, she would not know what will happen. At that time, would he still need her help to forge a spirit weapon?
Ye Lingxuan wanted to say something, but she did not say anything in the end. She looked at Victor embarrassedly, and a hint of awkwardness flashed across her pretty face.
“I’m sorry, Victor. I did not expect it to be like this.”
Ye Lingxuan felt that she had really lost her dignity this time. She had already promised to help, but she did not expect the result to be like this.
“Let’s go back. I will find other blacksmiths to help you. Once Elder Chi Lian has decided on something, he will not change his mind. We don’t need to waste our breath.”
“No, wait a little longer. I might have a way to make Elder Chi Lian change his mind.”
Victor rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
Make Elder Chi Lian change his mind?
Ye Lingxuan looked at Victor suspiciously. Although she felt that it was impossible, something unexpected often happened with Victor. Ye Lingxuan decided to wait and see.
However, she wasn’t expecting Victor to only stand there for more than an hour without saying anything. He was deep in thought.
“Victor, what are you doing?” Ye Lingxuan asked, puzzled.
Victor did not answer, as if he did not hear Ye Lingxuan’s voice. Ye Lingxuan then realized that Victor had entered a meditative state and was isolated from the outside world.
As Victor entered his cultivation state, the surrounding spiritual energy entered Victor’s body automatically. This was the beginning of the Wood Spirit Embryo’s function.
With the Wood Spirit Embryo around, there was no need for Victor to control the absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It could absorb it on its own.
“Victor couldn’t be taking this opportunity to cultivate, right?”
Ye Lingxuan could not help but think so in her heart. The spiritual energy here was dense. After the work of the nine-palace fire spell formation, the spiritual energy had calmed down and was no longer violent and reckless. If she could cultivate in such a place, it would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, this kind of behavior was equivalent to taking advantage of someone. It was a really unsightly behavior.
However, based on Ye Lingxuan’s understanding of Victor, Victor did things openly and above board. He would never use underhanded methods during the competition. Therefore, he must have his own motives for doing this.
“What on earth was he doing?”
Like this, another half an hour passed. The sky was getting dark.
At this moment, in a courtyard on the peak of Zhong Ding Mountain.
In the middle of the nine-palace fire spell formation, Taoist Priest Chi Lian suddenly sensed that the spiritual qi in the fomration was circulating at full speed. He released his spiritual sense and sensed that more than half of the spiritual qi was flowing out of the fomration.
Taoist Priest Chi Lian opened his eyes abruptly and snorted heavily. Then, he disappeared from the courtyard.
“Kid, are you absorbing the spiritual energy of my formation?”
Victor’s body trembled slightly as he woke up from his meditative state.
Taoist Priest Chi Lian’s cold snort just now contained faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, and it woke him up instantly.
Hearing the other party’s voice, Victor looked at Taoist Priest Chi Lian, who was also floating in the air, and finally revealed a smile.
In the past hour, he did all that he could.
Now that his target could no longer sit still, he could be considered to have given himself another chance.
“You brat, are you from Green Dragon Mountain? You’re still here, not leaving, and you’re secretly absorbing pure spiritual energy from me. When did the people of Green Dragon Mountain become so useless?”
Taoist Priest Chi Lian’s voice was obviously sarcastic, and Ye Lingxuan’s expression turned very ugly when she heard it. Although Taoist Priest Chi Lian was talking about Victor on the surface, he was also talking about her Green Dragon Mountain, which was equivalent to talking about her.
Ever since she awakened the power of prophecy ten years ago and became the great elder of Green Dragon Mountain, no one had dared to speak to her like this.
When had she ever lost face like this?
However, Taoist Priest Chi Lian was proficient in refining artifacts and had a strange temper. Most importantly, he had a wide network, and he did not respect many people. Ye Lingxuan couldn’t do anything about it, so she could only endure it.
Patting Victor’s shoulder gently, Ye Lingxuan asked, “Victor, what are you doing?
“If you want to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you can do it in the Green Dragon Mountain. Why do you have to stand here? Let’s go down the mountain first.”
Victor smiled faintly and said, “Great elder, I did not deliberately want to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here, but…”
Victor paused for a moment, he intentionally shouted, “Senior Chi Lian, I didn’t want to absorb the spiritual energy here. However, if you can perfect the nine-palace fire spell formation, the pure spiritual energy here will not be absorbed by others. When that time comes, you will be able to condense the spiritual fire to refine a spirit tool with greater ease.”
Although the nine-palace fire spell formation set up by Taoist Priest Chi Lian was considered a pretty good formation, Taoist Priest Chi Lian was, after all, the main cultivator.
The method used for setting up the spirit formation could only be considered to be at the proficient stage, so it was naturally impossible to completely perfect the details. The loss of pure spiritual energy was a considerable mistake to the formation itself.
Taoist Priest Chi Lian snorted coldly.
“What do you know, you ill-mouthed child? I’m too lazy to waste my breath on you. Hurry up and get down the mountain, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”
As Victor continued to pester him, Taoist Priest Chi Lian’s mood became very bad.
The reason he had gone into seclusion previously was that he had obtained a very precious ancient formation. He wanted to carefully study this ancient formation. It wasn’t easy for him to obtain some results, and he was just about to improve the nine-palace fire spell formation.
However, Victor had directly absorbed the heaven and earth spiritual energy. How could he be at ease?
