Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Facing the ever-changing situation in the square, the most nervous ones are not the unfathomable Qianhuan Sect, nor the Guihua and Guihua families whose strength has been repeatedly weakened, and even less likely the Yaomen and Yao Family, which were originally scattered but now have gathered together.

The most anxious and uneasy one is Xuan Hong, the king of the Xuanwu Empire. This king who wants to reap all the benefits is extremely anxious at this time, but he dare not say a word to anyone.

He is in the most awkward position. The internal struggles of the Xuanwu Empire and the external forces involved are most likely caused by him. The reason is that he himself does not have the ability and strength to turn the tide. He can only use external forces to muddy the waters of the Xuanwu Empire so that he can have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Now Xuan Hong is like a person walking on a tightrope over a deep abyss. Every step he takes is extremely dangerous, and any slight mistake will be doomed.

What makes him even more depressed is that during the test just now, he discovered some special features of this formation. Or maybe there were some signs that reminded him of some things he had accidentally heard his father mention, about some changes in the city defense formation.

"Although this formation can protect our imperial capital from being attacked, it is also a prison for our Xuan family. If we were not forced to go nowhere, why would we bother to invite these super family 'emperors'? Now our Xuan family has become the watchdog of the Xuanwu Empire and the guardian of this formation.

Alas, if the people who built the formation had left us a little possibility, we would not be as frustrated as we are now. But they added formation variables to it to counter me. This damn formation, damn formation crystal."

At that time, Xuan Hong had not yet come into contact with the operation of the formation of the Xuanwu Empire's city defense formation, and he did not understand what these unfamiliar words "formation, runes, variables, counter" meant. He only knew that these words should have something to do with the formation of the imperial capital.

As Xuan Hong came into contact with more and more formations, he did not find anything special, and these words hidden deep in his memory were gradually forgotten by him.

However, just a moment ago, Xuan Hong remembered all the forgotten past, and the key to open the deep memory was the formation in front of him. To be more precise, it was a part of the mountain protection formation, and a strange fluctuation was generated in the forbidden land.

This fluctuation seemed to be there and not there. If Xuan Hong, who was in the spirit refining period, had not had a brief connection with the formation, he would probably not have remembered his father's words. Now Xuan Hong has some understanding of the formation and runes. Although he cannot fully comprehend the complex mountain protection formation in front of him, he can still understand the general reasons for some special changes.

The changes in the formation came from the forbidden land, and although the reaction in the forbidden land was not strong, it proved that there was another formation restriction in it. The restriction method in this formation is like the formation eye of the entire formation solidifying immediately when the crystal of the control formation flew out of the formation.

Some large formations are formed by stacking several small formations on top of each other, so that once they are in operation, they will interact with each other, thus achieving a more powerful effect.

In addition, several large formations are connected to each other. When a formation is activated to a certain step, another formation will be activated unintentionally. This is a countermeasure, also known as formation restriction.

Although Xuan Hong does not know much about the formation, but in connection with what his father said in the past, the formation restriction means should be set up to prevent outsiders from taking away the crystal of the control formation.

When Xuan Hong found out about this heavy means, how could he feel good. You have to know that these people were attracted, but few of them were really for the title of medicine son. Basically, they came for the crystal of the control formation of the ancient wilderness.

If the crystal of the control formation cannot be taken out and the reward for this selection competition is cancelled, he may be killed by several angry forces, even if he has a high status.

You should know that for this crystal of the control array, various forces have lost a lot of strong people, and the painter and the ghost family have even fallen to second-rate forces. If the crystal of the control array cannot be taken out in the end, then everyone will only think that this is Xuan Hong's conspiracy, and he will be unable to defend himself at that time.

Discovering the special variables in the array, Xuan Hong naturally did not dare to speak out, but he was getting more and more nervous. Seeing that the medicine refining below was about to end, no matter who was given the title of medicine boy in the end, the crystal of the control array needed to be taken out and given to the other party.

"Could it be that this crystal of the control array cannot be used? If there is no other method, I will only have the last resort. But this method is too risky. If it is not a last resort, I am unwilling to use it! Alas."

With a slight bitterness in his mouth, he muttered to himself, as if the "last resort" he mentioned seemed to have a big hidden danger. Whether to use it or not, Xuan Hong himself also had many concerns.

While thinking nervously, Xuan Hong glanced back subconsciously, and a glimmer of excitement and hope could not help but bloom in his eyes.

‘How could I forget about this kid? Hehe, if this kid hadn’t secretly learned the runes and hand seals that I used to control the formation, I wouldn’t have suspected and paid attention to him. This kid had already learned it back then, and I was worried that he was a variable. Now I can let him take action on his own, so I don’t need to rush to do it.’

While thinking in his heart, Xuan Hong slowly retracted his gaze, and unconsciously looked up again.

The entire imperial city's defense formation is still solidifying, but Xuan Hong is not sure how long it will take for the formation to continue to operate. Now that there is a way to solve the restrictions in the formation, Xuan Hong is not so anxious. He lowered his head and began to watch the people below refining medicine.

The two representatives of the Wang family and the Su family are actually not bad. Duan Yueyao is certainly a genius in refining medicine cultivated by the Medicine Sect, and Yao Ling is the direct disciple of Yao Tuozi, and also the junior brother of the previous generation of Yaozi Yao Zhen.

However, the Wang family itself has a master of refining medicine, Chu Nan. With the guidance of Chu Nan, Wang Yizhen's refining skills are naturally not lower than those of the others, but the means of preparation are a little worse.

Su Yunlong of the Su family is also an alchemist that the Su family has cultivated with all their strength. Although the Su family does not have an outstanding alchemist like Chu Nan, it is not difficult to cultivate an excellent primary and intermediate alchemist with its financial resources and power.

It is not that the two did not try their best before, but they did not use all the hidden means. After all, the means used by the two have too much cost.

After receiving the orders from their respective heads of the family, the two did not dare to hesitate any more and started to refine with full firepower. The speed of the two was originally faster than Zuo Feng. Even if Zuo Feng used the beast fire, the refining progress at this moment was still slower than the two. The people of the Su Wang family used such a terrifying method, which was much faster than Zuo Feng.

Su Yunlong's method is to use the power of flesh and blood, and take out the body accumulated in the three stages of body refining in exchange for potential, and the effect is more obvious.

The powerful spiritual energy condensed fire contains this surging power of flesh and blood, which is completely injected into the Crazy Demon Pill. This mad pill was originally intended to make the person who took it stronger in a short period of time. With these flesh and blood forces, the medicinal power of the pill has become much stronger.

Even if you look closely at the mad pill that is about to take shape, it already contains a thick layer of blood color, and there are thick flesh and blood fluctuations emanating from it.

Even if you can't look through the medicine cauldron, there are still many people who can feel the changes in the pills in the medicine cauldron. Among the three old men, the old men from the Sitong and Yuncai Chambers of Commerce looked extremely ugly. They knew that it was impossible to award the title of medicine son to the Gui family now.

After all, the quality of the pills refined by the two people in front of them is already very high. Even if these people present are laymen, they can clearly feel that the quality of the pills refined by the Suwang family is higher.

Even if the two of them are biased, they dare not point black and white in public. You can point to a stone and say it is a walnut, but how can you point to a stone and say it is a "mountain".

The treasure appraiser from Duobao Pavilion had been very angry before. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel the urge to laugh out loud. He snorted coldly at the two people beside him.

There was a strong dissatisfaction in this, and there was even a hint of sarcasm, as if to say, "Look, I'll see if you dare to be so shameless as before and be biased like before."

The two treasure appraisers blushed slightly, but they didn't dare to get angry at all. They also knew that after this incident, the reputation of themselves and their chamber of commerce would inevitably be damaged. This was a truth they had understood before they came.

Compared with being able to build the largest transit warehouse and transit station for goods exchange in the Xuanwu Empire, they could accept other losses.

Su Yunlong of the Su family certainly paid a considerable price, but compared with Wang Yizhen of the Wang family, his efforts seemed insignificant.

For people like them who have clear goals since childhood and are trained as alchemists, cultivation and combat power are not so important. So even if his cultivation level dropped sharply after refining the medicine this time, and even the foundation of the three stages of body refining was damaged, the family could try to find a way to let him continue to develop, but his combat effectiveness would be a little worse than that of the warriors of the same level in the future.

On the side of the Wang family, Wang Yizhen paid a huge price. More importantly, Wang Yizhen's expression remained calm, as if she didn't know what price she needed to pay for her current potential.

In the process of refining the Crazy Demon Pill, his potential was brought to an extreme, but he could also feel that his body was gradually weakening. In fact, this was his life being lost, but this loss was because he was fully refining the medicine and didn't even check it carefully.
