the enemy is always on the verge

In order to help Qi Lin open up his meridians, Zhou Huan specially sent someone to dig a cold pool at the foot of Baiye Peak, and put dozens of thousand-year-old ice into it, making the cold pool surrounded by cold mist and making it extremely cold.Zhou Huan ordered Qi Lin to soak here every day, while he himself immersed himself in the blueprint of the Tiansuo Bridge magic circle for three months.

Zhou Huan was immersed in the formation and didn't know how long it had passed, and he couldn't find Qi Lin anywhere when he went out. He caught a disciple and asked him, only to find out that three months had passed.

"It's been three months..." Zhou Huan suddenly blamed himself when he remembered that he had brought Qi Lin in with his arrogance and hadn't really taught him anything.

The disciple hesitated and said, "If Master wants to find Junior Brother Qi...he should be in Hantan now."

"He's still in the cold pool?!" Zhou Huan felt incredible. Although the cold pool helped him to open up his meridians, if he soaked for a long time, even a monk could not bear it, let alone he was just a mortal who hadn't opened up his meridians yet?

Zhou Huan hurried to Hantan, just in time to hear a disciple talking to Qi Lin.

"Junior brother, you'd better not soak in this cold pool every day, otherwise, when the master comes out, you may really not be able to open your meridians again."

Zhou Huan quickly retracted after hearing the words, and nodded involuntarily.It seems that someone has already persuaded him first, that would be better.Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing for him to say that he just forgot the time.

Unexpectedly, Qi Lin's elm head is not open, and he said mercilessly, "Since the master asked me to come here to soak for three hours every day, Qi Lin will never disobey."

Zhou Huan suddenly discovered that Qi Lin always referred to himself by his first name in front of outsiders, as if he only used the title "Yuanzhi" in front of him.

The man said angrily, "You are so stupid, Master just forgot about you!"

Zhou Huan blushed and lowered his head sullenly.The man said again, "Do you think that the master taught you so carefully because he valued you? It was just because he and the third elder threatened in the hall that he would definitely let you cultivate the Dao! These days, the master is obsessed with formations. I can still take care of you, why do you waste your body like this?"

Zhou Huan's heart trembled, he knew that his disciples basically knew what he and the third elder said that day, but he never thought that it would reach Qi Lin's ears.He suddenly didn't know how to explain it. He brought Qi Lin back because he sincerely wanted to teach him.

No matter what, Qi Lin bowed his hands at the man, and said calmly, "Thank you for reminding me, brother, but you don't need to be suspicious, you don't need to be suspicious. Qi Lin has never doubted Master's intentions, otherwise, he would not have gone with Master."

Zhou Huan was startled and leaned against the rock, unable to calm down for a long time.

Qi Lin soaked in the cold pool as usual, but when he came out, he heard that Zhou Huan had finally left the room, so he ran to find him happily.

Zhou Huan has been shutting himself in the room for the past three months. Qi Lin wanted to come in to visit him several times, but he was deterred by the closed door.

Qi Lin walked into the room and bowed deeply, "Congratulations, master, for finally designing the formation."

Zhou Huan turned around, his face turned pale.Qi Lin hurriedly said, "Master looks very tired, let's take a good rest first! I'll come back to bother you later."

"Wait," Zhou Huan called to stop him, "I just made the formation, you can try it for me."

Qi Lin was naturally very willing. He was brought into the formation by Zhou Huan. Before he could stand still, a wave of spiritual power suddenly poured into his body, traveled along the meridians, and spread to all limbs and bones.Qi Lin turned his head and saw Zhou Huanzheng standing on the other side of the formation, spiritual power was continuously draining from his body.

"Master!" Qi Lin wanted to move, but Zhou Huan stopped him.

"Don't move! Otherwise, what I just did will be in vain, and I will lose my cultivation in vain!"

"Master..."

This formation actually transfers Zhou Huan's spiritual power to Qi Lin, and with the help of external force forcefully opens up Qi Lin's meridians.

"Your spiritual roots are too complex, and I can't guarantee what kind of good fortune you will have in the future, but you can at least cultivate now." Zhou Huan staggered a step. It took almost a hundred years of his cultivation to help Qi Lin open up the meridians this time, but he I don't regret it either.

Zhou Huan doesn't like to accept anyone's favor, nor does he want to live up to any expectations.

Day by day, Qi Lin's meridian has not yet been established, but Zhou Huan has already proposed to Shen Fuxin a new Tiansuo Bridge.

Tiansuo Bridge is the only passage connecting Yuxianmen and Jingtai Mountain. When Gui Yi Sanren created Yuxianmen, he left this bridge at the same time. Since then, Tiansuo Bridge has cost 6 high-grade spirit stones every year.You know, for most capable people and strangers in the Cultivation Continent, five hundred top-grade spirit stones are probably their life savings.

Tiansuo Bridge is majestic and magnificent, and it has been like the signboard of Yuxianmen for thousands of years.Even though it has fallen to this point now, how many great sects still admire the Tiansuo Bridge when they come to visit.

However, Zhou Huan's new conception of the Tiansuo Bridge retains the original appearance of the Tiansuo Bridge, but uses another formation to judge the timing of the opening of the Tiansuo Bridge.On weekdays, when there is no one going in and out, the sky lock bridge is closed, and when someone visits or the disciples in the sect want to go out of the mountain, they only need to pour a little spiritual power into the eye of the formation that maintains the formation, and the sky lock bridge will open automatically.

"Not only that, the spiritual power poured into the eyes of the formation can be transmitted to the main peak, and the identities of the disciples who enter and leave can be identified through the spiritual power. At the same time, this small amount of spiritual power can also be stored in the formation, and the seat maintains the power of the Tiansuo bridge. In this way , in the future, we only need to use a small amount of spirit stones to maintain the formations added later."

Zhou Huan pointed to the blueprint in his hand and stunned all the elders.

Qi Lin was also among the disciples, staring at Zhou Huan, who was talking eloquently in the crowd, and could hardly move his eyes away.

The Fifth Elder seemed a little interested, "Elder Zhou, how much spirit stone will this new formation cost?"

Zhou Huan smiled, "One hundred."

"Only need one hundred high-grade spirit stones?! That one saves [-]%!"

Zhou Huan smiled slyly, "It's a hundred low-grade spirit stones."

"Impossible!" The third elder shouted, "How can it be possible to change from five hundred high-grade spirit stones to one hundred low-grade spirit stones? You are lying!"

The Fifth Elder quickly smoothed things over, "I don't know what Elder Zhou is talking about, but one day?"

Zhou Huan put away the drawings, "It's a year."

"impossible!"

Zhou Huan raised his eyebrows, "Why is it impossible? The reason why Tiansuo Bridge consumes so many spirit stones is because whether we need it or not, we always need to use spirit stones to maintain the formation. Now Tiansuo Bridge can be put away, With the spiritual support of the disciples, we can naturally save a lot of spiritual stones."

"What kind of sect is my Yuxianmen? To even use the spiritual power of disciples and visitors, it is a shame for Yuxianmen!"

Zhou Huan said aggressively, "Could it be that the spirit stones handed in by all the disciples of Yuxianmen are used to maintain the Tiansuo Bridge, isn't it out of the question?"

"You!" The third elder was suddenly speechless, and stood aside with a livid face.

"Elder Zhou is right." Shen Fu said quietly.

Qi Lin didn't like the suzerain of Yuxianmen, because his smile was always playful, and he looked frivolous and ironic.

"The Yuxianmen have spent too many spirit stones on the Tiansuo Bridge for so many years. If Elder Zhou has the ability to save money, why not give it a try?"

Zhou Huan's gaze calmed down, and he saluted Shen Fuxin, "Thank you, suzerain."

Shen Fuxin smiled and nodded, "In that case, I will trouble Elder Zhou to concentrate on studying the formation in the room from today onwards, without my order, no one will bother you."

Everyone's eyes suddenly changed, no one should disturb him, this is basically being imprisoned!

Qi Lin's heart tightened, and he was about to stand up immediately, but Zhou Huan's straight body bent slightly, and he bowed straight down, "Thank you, suzerain."

Shen Fuxin sent fourteen people to surround Zhou Huan's room, and set up three barriers. Once people entered, they couldn't get out unless the barriers were opened.Qi Lin desperately wanted to rush over, but was firmly stopped by the disciples guarding outside.

Seeing that Zhou Huan was about to step into the barrier, Qi Lin knelt on the ground and shouted, "Master! Take me away! I will study the formation with you! Let me go with you!"

Zhou Huan finally sighed and turned around, "Yuanzhi, you haven't built a foundation yet, how can you help me?"

Qi Lin hurriedly said, "Yuanzhi can serve Master! Even if Master wants to devote himself to studying formations, there must always be someone to take care of him. Yuanzhi is willing to follow Master forever!"

Zhou Huan gently helped him up, "You are no longer young, and you will leave me sooner or later, why are you still living like this?"

Qi Lin shook his head again and again, "Yuanzhi will never leave Master, Yuanzhi will always be with Master!"

Zhou Huan frowned slightly, "How did the teacher explain when he accepted you in the door? If you want to cultivate the Tao, you must have no desires, no pursuits, and let go of all obsessions. Look at you now, you will not be able to enter the Tao in the future, don't regret it .”

Unexpectedly, Qi Lin knelt down straight, looked at Zhou Huan and said firmly, "Yuan Zhi never regretted it! On the contrary, Yuan Zhi has never been so lucky. The person who brought Yuan Zhi back in front of the mountain gate was Master."

Zhou Huan's body shook, and he suddenly realized that Qi Lin had become so dependent on him before he knew it.

Qi Lin persisted, "Why? Why did the suzerain treat you like this? Isn't the formation of the Tiansuo Bridge very good? Wouldn't it be good to save a lot of spirit stones for the sect?"

He didn't understand how Shen Fuxin could turn his face so quickly. As the head of a sect, no matter what personal conflicts he had with Zhou Huan, shouldn't he put the overall situation first?

Zhou Huan sighed, "You should know that I almost became the suzerain once."

Qi Lin nodded, "But they said the rumors are false, because you were only eight years old when the previous suzerain passed away."

"Yes," Zhou Huan said quietly, looking at the mountains in the distance, "I was only eight years old back then."

After finishing speaking, he didn't say another word, turned around and walked into the enchantment, entered the room he had just come out of, and closed the door again.

And the sentence he left, because of the different sentence breaks and accents, made Qi Lin suddenly understand Zhou Huan's meaning in a daze.

At that time, Zhou Huan was only eight years old, and he had already won the favor of the old suzerain, and almost took the position of suzerain.But now, he is young and talented, showing his sharpness, how can Shen Fuxin tolerate him?Compared with the great crisis of suzerainty, what is the future of Yuxianmen?
