Gu Xuan and Xue Mang sat cross-legged on the clouds transformed by Douyun Beads and flew towards Qingfei Island.

On the islands in the South Seas where mortal cities exist, the layout of the islands is quite similar, and there are traces to follow.

Qingfei Island also has undulating mountains and densely populated cities. Each city has more or less monks, and the tall city walls are inscribed with runes.

Xucheng is located in the eastern part of Qingfei Island. There is a practice market in the city. Gu Xuan went to visit it specially and found that it was almost the same as the markets on other islands.

Gu Xuan sold the idle treasures in Fangshi and purchased a large number of elixirs to prepare for retreat practice.

Next, the invisible cloud continued to fly, heading straight to Luoshan, not far from Xucheng.

Luoshan is a gathering place for casual cultivators. Since there are no monks in the magic realm, invisible clouds fly in and finally stop on a rather lush tree crown.

"Brother Xue, wait here for a moment. I'll be back as soon as I go. If Jiang Shen is in the cave, it shouldn't take long."

"Brother Lone Entropy, be careful."

Gu Xuan jumped out of the invisible range of the clouds, took out the jade bone boat, and flew directly to the sky above a mountainside without opening the transparency restriction.

There was an uncertain white mist on the mountainside here. Gu Xuan stood on the bow of the ship, flicked his sleeves, and flew out a knocking talisman.

With one finger pinch, the formation talisman emits a red beam of light, which shoots towards the clouds and mist below.

But after waiting for a long time, the clouds and mist filled the air as before, and there was no response. It was obvious that Jiang Shen was not in the cave.

Gu Xuan returned to the invisible cloud: "Jiang Shen is not in the cave, let's wait here."

Xue Mang nodded: "If the casual cultivator is not practicing in seclusion, he rarely stays in the cave. Most of them travel around, looking for various opportunities."

Gu Xuan drove the invisible clouds to fly not far from Jiangshen Cave Mansion and stopped on another tree crown.

But after waiting for more than half a month, Jiang Shen didn't come back.

Gu Xuan still sat cross-legged on the clouds, closed his eyes to rest, and said secretly: "Senior, the Jiang family's ancestral mausoleum will be opened in ten days, are there any other suitable candidates?"

Just as Wang Mang was about to reply, the sound of a misty insect suddenly sounded from Gu Xuan's dantian: "Acridine!"

Gu Xuan asked: "Xiaoyin didn't express any emotion, so why did it make a sound?"

"Oh, I don't know very well." Wang Mang guessed, "I think there is something wrong with Misty Chong."

Perhaps seeing Gu Xuan's doubts, Misty Insect conveyed another incomprehensible emotion.

Gu Xuan still didn't know what it meant, so he simply put his telekinesis power into Fu Sheng's bag.

The gray mist in the fusheng bag was nearly half concentrated inward, and the misty insects were hovering above the gray mist.

"Acridine!"

The Misty Insect gave a solemn cry, its two tentacles moved in succession, and the ends sent out circles of invisible ripples, like ripples, rippling out to the surroundings.

The life-generating beads in the Dantian on Guxuan began to rotate, but they did not emit invisible fluctuations. It was obvious that the longevity energy was continuously being consumed.

Gu Xuan thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that Xiaoyin is predicting the outcome of infiltrating the Jiang family's ancestral mausoleum this time?"

"It's very possible." Wang Mang responded solemnly, "This is the first time Misty Insect has proactively predicted it. The result is not trivial. If I predict it correctly, it will probably be a disaster."

Soon after, the Misty Insect's tentacles stopped moving, its eyes flashed with intense pink light, and the breath-bearing beads stopped rotating together.

"Acridine."

The pink light only flashed for two or three breaths before disappearing. The misty insect let out a soft cry, and the gray mist below rolled up and quickly filled the fusheng bag.

"Sure enough, it's really bad." Wang Mang sighed lightly, "The Misty Insect's proactive prediction shows that the Jiang family's ancestral mausoleum is not a kind place, and this trip will inevitably lead to a narrow escape.

.I suggest you not to go, and just go into seclusion and practice."

"Just like what senior said."

Gu Xuan thought for a moment, nodded solemnly, and then looked at Xue Mang.

"Brother Xue, there is not much time until the Jiang family's ancestral mausoleum is opened, but Jiang Shen has not returned yet. This trip will probably not go smoothly, so it is better not to go."

Xue Mang opened his eyes and said without thinking: "Since Brother Gu Xuan won't go, I definitely won't go either. Let's find a cave to practice."

"That's what I meant." Gu Xuan smiled slightly, "Before leaving, I want to inform Brother Weng."

"This is natural." Xue Mang nodded, "so that Brother Weng will know better."

Gu Xuan used his thoughts, and invisible clouds flew out quickly.

When they returned to Qinghua Island and offered up the knocking talisman, they found that Weng Ji was no longer in the cave.

…

After some twists and turns, Gu Xuan and Xue Mang finally flew to Osmanthus Island.

The two of them discussed it on the way and decided not to rent a cave. They would either use Misty Insects or Spirit Gathering Beads as a supplement. The city was crowded with people and it was not safe enough after all.

During his travels, Gu Xuan had several options for caves, Osmanthus Island, Jiyue Island, and the Key Islands.

Due to offending the old ghost Youxu, the archipelago islands are naturally unable to practice with peace of mind.

Regarding Osmanthus Island and Jiyue Island, Gu Xuan was more interested in Jiyue Island, but when he was on Zhuhu Island, he claimed to have killed the three heroes of Jiyue, because he was afraid that the Heran Sect would go to Jiyue Island to investigate.

At this time, the Jade Bone Boat was suspended over the small basin of Osmanthus Island.

"Brother Xue, when I left this island, I set up an earth energy defense formation here. Now the formation still exists. Apparently the cave has not been occupied by anyone. What a surprise."

"Haha, go down and have a look."

Gu Xuan quickly took out a formation plate, pinched it with his fingers, and a flash of light flashed on the surface of the yellow light mask below, and a gap suddenly appeared.

The jade bone boat flew into the gap. Gu Xuan glanced at it and saw that the same stone building on the basin was still there, hidden among the osmanthus trees.

Xue Mang used his telekinesis and observed it carefully, and was quite satisfied: "This cave is much better than the one I had on Qingfeng Island. There are quite a few training rooms. Unfortunately, Brother Gu Entropy has a crystal tower, so he can't come to see this place.

"

"If Brother Xue uses the Spirit Gathering Bead for supplementary training, the supply of spiritual energy here will simply exceed demand. I will place a crystal tower on the top of the southern mountain so that the cultivation of both of them will not be affected."

Gu Xuan made several finger gestures, the yellow light shield flashed away, and several array flags broke out of the ground and flew closer one after another.

"I haven't used the Spirit Gathering Pearl yet, but I hope it will be as Brother Gu Entropy said."

Xue Mang smiled slightly, immediately took out a formation plate and twelve formation flags, and began to set up the formation.

Gu Xuan put away the jade bone boat, a flash of light flashed on his back, and the talisman appeared with two pairs of blue wings, and then he flapped his wings and flew to the highest point of the island.

This place is about five miles away from the small basin. As long as Misty Insect does not mobilize its spiritual energy with all its strength, there will be no conflict in the cultivation of the two.

The blue wings flapped slowly, and Gu Xuan floated in the air, holding out two long swords and an empty storage bag.

The two long swords struck out together, weaving back and forth, first cutting down a few small trees, then leveling the bushes, and then digging continuously on the ground, sucking the excavated earth and rocks into the storage bag.

Soon after, a hexagonal shallow pit was dug out of the ground.

Gu Xuan took back his long sword and storage bag, flapped his wings, flew forward a short distance, then took out a storage bag and threw it up.

With the activation of telekinesis, the crystal tower fell from the storage bag, and the base of the tower just filled the shallow pit.

Gu Xuan smiled with satisfaction, flapped his wings, and landed on the ground

, pinched out a finger gesture and pointed towards the base of the tower.

The white lines on the base of the tower flashed with colorful brilliance, and the earth's spiritual energy gathered one after another and jumped into the colorful light.

When the colorful light disappears, the crystal tower and the shallow pit are closely connected.

Gu Xuan made another finger gesture, and the base of the tower flashed with colorful brilliance again, spreading up the tower body.

After taking a look at the crystal tower, Gu Xuan began to set up the formation. With a flick of his sleeves, a formation disk and many formation flags came out and floated in front of him.

The hands made successive seals, and colorful patterns floated out. The array disk flashed with spiritual light and buzzed.

Many formation flags flew out in all directions and submerged into the ground one after another. The clouds in the void rolled in, forming thick clouds and mist that shrouded the surroundings of the crystal tower.

This is the Five Qi Riot Array, Gu Xuan's strongest protective array at present.

Gu Xuan passed through the colorful light door, walked into the first floor of the crystal tower, picked up the futon on the ground, and walked directly to the fifth floor.

Putting the futon on the ground, Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the futon and was about to retreat when a formation disk in the storage bag suddenly flashed red and buzzed.

Gu Xuan flicked his sleeves, and the array plate flew out from it, floating in front of him. He made a finger gesture with one hand, and the red light and buzzing sound on the surface of the array plate disappeared together.

The clouds and mist covering the crystal tower rolled slightly, and then a gap opened, and the red beam of light emitted by the tapping talisman disappeared.

Xue Mang flapped his wings, flew in through the gap in the clouds, and floated in the air. He carefully looked at the brilliant crystal tower and exclaimed: "This tower is so beautiful that it can be called a pagoda."

Gu Xuan's voice came from the five-color light door: "Brother Xue Muzan, I'm on the fifth floor, come in by yourself."

Xue Mang walked into the fifth floor and saw Gu Xuan taking out a futon and naturally sat on the futon unceremoniously.

Gu Xuan took out two jars of intoxicating spirit wine, threw one jar to Xue Mang, patted the sealing mud himself, and took a sip.

It took more than a month to fly from Qingfeng Island to Osmanthus Island. Xue Mang drank ten jars of medicinal wine on the way, and Gu Xuan gave away another hundred jars.

Xue Mang actually had nothing to do. First, he came to see the crystal tower, and secondly, he asked Gu Xuan how long he had been in seclusion.

After three silent cultivations, the power of the Ancient Mysterious Gang was greatly improved, and a large part of the soul was awakened. Wang Mang had already predicted that he would be able to advance to the middle stage in about ten years of seclusion.

Xue Mang estimated that it would take more than ten years without using the Spirit Gathering Pearl. Now that he is using the Spirit Gathering Pearl as a minor, Wang Mang estimates that it will take him seven years.

After the two of them drank a jar of medicinal wine, Xue Mang returned to the cave alone to prepare for retreat.
