Chapter 198: Master Guitou

After returning to his own courtyard, Xiao Mian sat quietly without saying a word.

It was not until the next night, when the moon was at its highest point, that Xiao Mian noticed Gui Tou's awakening.

"Gui Lao, are you okay?"

"Huh... well! Very well! I've never been so well since I followed you! It turns out that the injury of the soul can be repaired by devouring other souls. If I had known this, I should have asked you to help me find a few more Jindan masters or Yuanying ancestors to devour!"

Xiao Mian smiled bitterly when he heard this. It was already a pleasant surprise to be able to obtain the soul of Yuan Yuan Zhenren this time. Where could he find other souls for Gui Tou to devour?

The ghost head was obviously talking nonsense, and then there was silence for a moment, and then the ghost head continued: "So that's it! That old guy actually regarded the secret library of Jinxiao Peak as the private property of his Lu family!"

After that, because of the clear memory of swallowing the soul of Yuan Yuan Zhenren, the ghost head tried his best to reveal the things about the secret library of Jinxiao Peak, so that Xiao Mian would remember it in his heart, so as not to forget it completely after a long time.

Xiao Mian carefully remembered the location, opening method, internal restrictions and treasures of the secret library of Jinxiao Peak, but ignored the changes of the ghost head.

Then the ghost head turned into a physical body and flew around Xiao Mian. The ferocious ghost face in the past was full of suspicion, as if he remembered something but was not sure.

Finally, after Xiao Mian remembered everything about the secret library of Jinxiao Peak, he found that the ghost head seemed to be a little wrong, but before Xiao Mian could say anything, the ghost head suddenly stopped, and the ghost face turned to Xiao Mian, asking for the five-sided trapped beast formation.

"Five-Direction Beast Trapping Formation? It's just a second-level formation plate. What are you doing here?"

Having said that, Xiao Mian still took out the Five-Direction Beast Trapping Formation he got from Huangfu Wei from his storage bag and threw it to Guitou. Guitou's soul was half real and half virtual. The real one was holding up the formation plate of the Five-Direction Beast Trapping Formation, while the virtual one easily got into the formation plate.

Xiao Mian found it interesting, so he didn't bother him. It was just a second-level formation plate. If it was destroyed, it was destroyed. Let's see what tricks Guitou can come up with.

After a while, Guitou's virtual body floated out of the Five-Direction Beast Trapping Formation. In just a few moments, Guitou's soul became much more illusory, but his energy was over-consumed. Xiao Mian was shocked when he saw it, and then he didn't say anything when he saw Guitou's excited expression.

"Hahaha... I finally remembered some past events!" After laughing wildly for a while, Guitou said to Xiao Mian word by word: "I am a formation master!"

Xiao Mian was stunned, and then looked at the serious Guitou with a look of surprise.

"Don't believe it? To be honest, I don't believe it myself! But after devouring the soul of your master uncle, my broken soul body seems to have been repaired a lot. Not only is the soul body more solid, but also some memories have been restored. If these memories are not imposed on me by your master uncle, then in the long years, I was a formation master, and the grade should not be low, at least not lower than that of Wan Tianyun!"

As he said this, Guitou signaled Xiao Mian to check the formation plate of the Five-sided Beast Trapped Formation.

Xiao Mian did as he was told, but immediately looked at Guitou in shock, his face full of disbelief.

"What did you do? How... How did it become a third-level magic array?"

"The material of this array plate is actually enough to make a third-level magic array, but because the number of array patterns engraved is not enough, it has fallen to the embarrassing level of a second-level magic array. I just completed the remaining array patterns, and it naturally upgraded to the third level. In this way, although the range of this magic array has not been greatly improved, it can trap cultivators of the high level of the foundation-building period, which is barely useful..."

Gui Tou said it lightly, but Xiao Mian was stunned.

Although Xiao Mian was not familiar with the formation, he also knew roughly how to make the array plate.

The so-called array plate is to take some spiritual materials that can carry spiritual energy and carve array patterns on it. For a simple array like the Five Elements Beast Trapped Array, only one array plate is needed, but for a mid-level array plate like the Nine-Curved Sky River Array, ninety-nine and eighty-one array plates are needed to work together to set up a large array. As for higher-level array plates, higher-level spiritual materials are naturally needed to make the array plates and carve more array patterns to complete them.

However, Xiao Mian has never heard of someone being able to increase the grade of the array plate by increasing the number of array patterns on the prepared array plate.

Perhaps he is ignorant!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian was relieved.

However, if Fang Ru, the head of the Array Sect Hall in Lingchuanfang City, knew about this, he would probably realize the key to the problem.

The array discs that have been made, each array pattern is connected to each other, and has long become a complete system. It may not be difficult to add new array patterns, but it is very difficult to make the newly added array patterns perfectly integrate with the old array patterns, and upgrade the original second-level array disc to the third-level array disc, or even impossible!

"Boy! I remember that in Lingchuan Market, you tricked a dilapidated ancient tripod from the old fox Ye. Is it still there?"

Before Xiao Mian could think about it, Guitou continued to ask for things.

Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard the words, and he didn't care about the jokes in Guitou's words. He immediately took out the ancient tripod from Old Man Ye. Seeing Guitou put his virtual body into the ancient tripod again, and after a long time, he stuck his head out again, pondering and silent, Xiao Mian asked in a good voice.

"How is it? Did the old ghost think of a way to refine this ancient tripod again?"

"It is unknown which dynasty this ancient tripod came from. Not only is the refining technique crude and simple, but the array engraved inside is also very simple. It is just a sixth-level 'Eight-sided Fire Gathering Array'. It is not difficult to separate the array, but it is a bit troublesome after separation!" As he said this, the ghost head's soul held up the ancient tripod and said with some regret: "Only this material is an eighth-level spiritual material that is one level higher than the Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold - the Meteorite Fire Spirit Crystal, but it is mixed with a little Galaxy Star Sand. Even if it is separated, it may affect the grade of both!"

"Meteorite Fire Spirit Crystal? Galaxy Star Sand?" Xiao Mian was shocked when he heard that the spiritual material used to cast this ancient tripod was the Meteorite Fire Spirit Crystal, which was one level higher than the Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold. Then he calmed down and continued to ask: "What level can the spiritual material get after separation?"

"I am afraid it will drop one level..."

"Seventh level? In other words, After successfully separating this ancient tripod, you can actually get a seventh-level spiritual material comparable to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold? "

"Yes!"

"Please ask Ghost Master to help me decompose the ancient tripod!"

"......, well! If this thing falls into the hands of others, I'm afraid it will just be collected as an ordinary antique. If it is left for another hundred or eighty years, it will probably rot into dregs. You are lucky to get this thing, so I will help you separate it. Anyway, you are about to start practicing, and I'm looking for something to kill time. "As he said this, Ghost Head wrapped the ancient tripod with his soul body and pulled it into Xiao Mian's Qi Hai acupoint, whispering: "Boy, take care of yourself!"

"Thank you Ghost Master!"

At the same time, Xiao Mian's mind was moving quickly. If Ghost Head could really separate a sufficient amount of Tianyue Fire Spirit Crystal from the ancient tripod, even if the grade would drop by one level, it would be a top-level spiritual material of the seventh level. Think about it again. As the Yuanying ancestor of the scholar, he searched for a hundred years and only got a piece of Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold the size of a fingernail. It shows that any spiritual material is extremely precious once it reaches the seventh level. How can Xiao Mian not be ecstatic?

Although Xiao Mian is determined to successfully refine the Five Elements Spirit Sword conceived by Wu Lingzi, it is an imaginary spiritual sword after all. Before that, Xiao Mian needs to refine another flying sword.

After the scholar re-refined it twice, the power of the Xuanfeng Sword has greatly increased, but the quality of the Xuanfeng Sword has limited its grade. Reaching the grade of the top-level magic weapon is already its limit. If it is upgraded again rashly, it will only cause the overall collapse of the flying sword.

If the seventh-level spiritual material Tianyun Fire Spirit Crystal can be obtained, Xiao Mian can find someone to refine a high-grade flying sword. If some other high-grade spiritual materials can be added to complement it and a high-level magic array can be embedded in it, it is possible to achieve a magic weapon!

This is what Xiao Mian planned. It would be fine if he could use the Xuanfeng Sword when he was still a cultivator in the foundation building stage. If he succeeded in forming a pill one day, it would not be good enough.

However, as the most common attack method used by cultivators, a good flying sword is hard to come by. Many cultivators in the cultivation world often look for spiritual materials by themselves and find a special refiner to refine a flying sword. Only in this way can they get a top-grade flying sword that suits their own taste.

This is a very long process. The famous flying swords in the history of the cultivation world have all grown up with the flying sword owners. The most famous one is the top-grade magic flying sword of the Sword Demon Dugu eight thousand years ago - the Blood Evil Gang Demon Sword!

The Sword Demon Dugu is known as the first sword cultivator in ten thousand years.

The Blood Evil Gang Demon Sword is known as the first sword under the spiritual treasure.

Thinking back to the past thousand years, Xiao Mian's heart was surging.

One day, he will also have a top-grade flying sword!

One day, he will also become the best in the world!
