The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

"Since almost everyone is here, as the host, I'll start first."

After chatting with Long Xuan for a while, seeing that almost everyone had entered the venue, Di Xin walked to a table at the front of the venue.

She then placed all her treasured items from the bottom of the chest on the table and said to the people below: "I won't go over the rules of the treasure exchange meeting, everyone understands. As the host, I'll start first."

Saying that, Di Xin picked up three array flags on the table and introduced: "This is the soundproof formation plate. As the name suggests, it is an formation plate that can isolate sound."

"This secret room is set up with this kind of formation, so no matter how loudly we talk here, no sound will be heard outside. Everyone can rest assured. Now, who is interested in trading?"

Hearing this, many people below felt more at ease. No one wanted their treasures to be known by more people, and the fact that the secret room was set up with such an array reassured them even more.

A small murmur arose from the crowd below, but after all, it was just an auxiliary formation, and its effect was merely soundproofing, so it wasn't very useful in actual combat. Hence, not many people were interested.

Just when Long Xuan thought Di Xin's first treasure was going to pass without any bids, a female rogue cultivator stood up and asked, "Can your soundproof formation isolate the sounds of fighting?"

In the next moment, many people's expressions changed subtly.

Goodness, while others set up soundproof formation to prevent secrets from being leaked during conversations, she actually planned to use it to kill and rob without making any noise. How creative and bold of her.

Killing people naturally doesn't require isolating sound, unless she plans to kill someone in the market or near it, erasing someone within the no-kill zone without anyone noticing, so the people maintaining market order wouldn't detect it.

Everyone's expressions changed subtly.

The corners of Long Xuan's mouth lifted, revealing an inexplicable smile. He wondered who she was going to target; surely, some poor fellow was going to have bad luck.

Di Xin's face also changed slightly. Before hosting the treasure exchange meeting, she had tried her best to exclude those who liked to kill and rob, but nothing in this world can be perfectly prevented. There are always those who slip through the cracks, and there might be someone doing it for the first time, making it even harder to prevent.

However, the woman hadn't said she was going to use the soundproof formation for killing, so Di Xin couldn't just drive her away based on her suspicions. So she had to answer truthfully: "Of course, it can!"

The female rogue cultivator immediately smiled and walked to the table, having a secret soul communication with Di Xin.

In the end, the female rogue cultivator left with the three formation flags, and no one knew what she traded for them.

Next, Di Xin began to introduce her second treasure, which was her unique high-grade Gu worm, the twin-tailed flying scorpion.

This scorpion not only had a pair of sharp pincers but also two tails and two stingers, its appearance alone indicating its prowess in battle.

Being a rare high-grade Gu worm in the market, and an external Gu worm at that, its combat power was extremely terrifying, making it highly sought after in the market.

As soon as this treasure appeared, everyone below became excited, showing greedy and eager eyes, in stark contrast to the first treasure.

It should be known that Long Xuan's Little Strong Gu was merely an low-grade Gu worm, and in terms of popularity, it couldn't compare to a high-grade Gu worm. It's safe to say that there were very few rogue cultivators in the market who owned high-grade Gu worms.

But Long Xuan only glanced at it before looking away, having no interest in trading.

He had already made up his mind that all the Gu worms he used in the future would be self-created. He wanted to use his unique Gu worms to dominate the world; no matter how strong other people's Gu worms were, he had no interest.

At this moment, he was thinking about another matter. The medicine garden belonged to Elder Long, not him. He was restricted in planting any spiritual herbs and had to be careful.

Moreover, the spiritual bees needed nectar, and the spiritual chickens needed spiritual insects. To support them, he needed to build his own medicine garden. Otherwise, if elder long left, and he lost his job, the spiritual bees could starve to death.

To build a medicine garden, he first had to prevent others from stealing his herbs. Otherwise, if he planted high-grade spiritual herbs, others would surely come.

This required setting up an formation in the medicine garden, and the formation needed to be able to stop high-level Gu cultivators far stronger than him.

But he couldn't afford powerful defensive formation plates, and weak defensive formation plates were useless.

Thinking about formation, Long Xuan had an epiphany, coming up with a new ability for his Eye of Heavenly secret.

It was known that his Eye of Heavenly secret could see the microscopic world. Could it inscribe array formation patterns too small for the naked eye to see?

The same formation plate had limited space to inscribe formation patterns, but with the help of the Eye of Heavenly secret, he could inscribe hundreds or even thousands of formationq patterns without increasing the formation plate's size.

In this way, by overwhelming with the number of formation patterns, would the formation he set up be stronger?

If it was feasible, he might create a new formation style, becoming the founder of a new school. Long Xuan's eyes lit up.

He had never studied formation and knew nothing about them, so he didn't know if formation patterns could be infinitely shrunk without losing power.

But he thought it was worth trying. If it worked, he could use inferior array materials to create superior arrays, no longer worrying about not being able to afford high-level array plates.

Long Xuan became excited, and seeing that the superior Gu worm twin-tailed flying scorpion had been frantically traded away by the Gu cultivators, he immediately walked up.

Di Xin was stunned for a moment; she hadn't even introduced her third treasure yet.

Before she could ask, Long Xuan spoke first through soul communication: "I have no intention of trading for the items on your table. Do you have any books on array formation? I'm interested in learning the art of formation setup and am willing to pay a high price."

formation masters were special professions on par with alchemists, with rare inheritances and difficult to find learning paths.

In the Qian's Clan's Treasure Pavilion, you could find some cultivation methods and spiritual techniques, but never alchemy, artifact refining, talisman making, or formation setup.

These were absolutely not easily taught. Don't think you can learn them just by spending spirit stones.

Therefore, Long Xuan could only try his luck here, prepared for failure. After all, secrets are not easily shared, that's the principle of this world.

Unexpectedly, Di Xin smiled slightly and said: "In my place, there's nothing that can't be traded. As long as you offer a suitable price, I can even trade the Gu formula for the twin-tailed flying scorpion."

Saying this, she took out a thick stack of books from her storage bag and placed them on the table, without showing any reluctance.

Long Xuan was completely taken aback by her straightforwardness. Weren't these supposed to be closely guarded secrets?

" So Generous!"

Long Xuan was overjoyed and quickly picked up the books on the table to look through.

He checked the covers and flipped through a few pages to confirm their authenticity, then immediately decided to trade.

These books not only covered various basic array knowledge but also included many powerful array diagrams, sufficient to make him an array master.

To become an formation master required having both fire and earth attributes, and a strong soul, which he possessed.

It must be said that having multiple attributes could slow down cultivation speed, but it also had its advantages.

An artifact refiner needed both fire and metal attributes, a talisman maker needed both water and wood attributes, and all these special professions required a strong soul or mental power. It seemed he met all these requirements.

But after all, one's energy is limited, and being too distracted isn't good.

Long Xuan planned to focus on alchemy, while only having a basic understanding of the other special professions, so he wouldn't be clueless when encountering attacks from these fields.
