"No, this consumes too much of my lifespan. I can't afford it."
Mu Yun shook her head. Six thousand years of lifespan was consumed in a day. If the hothead outside wasted his lifespan, he would not be able to afford it.
He wanted to completely cut off the connection between his lifespan and the formation, but Shi Feixuan panicked and said, "Don't, Shi Yun. Yang Dingtian is coming!"
Mu Yun looked and saw that Yang Dingtian had run over. He appeared at the entrance of the cave and looked around.
"Hahaha, let's see where you can run to!"
Yang Dingtian laughed and wanted to barge into the cave, but the Vermilion Bird Formation on the ground immediately activated. A blazing Vermilion Bird Flame Starlight whizzed out crazily and attacked him.
"What is this?!"
Yang Dingtian was shocked and hurriedly retreated, but he was still half a step too late. He was attacked by the Vermilion Bird Flame Starlight. His hair and beard were burnt, and he looked miserable.
"Damn it! It's a first-class formation, the Vermilion Bird Formation! "
Yang Dingtian gritted his teeth and immediately recognized it. It was a first-class formation, the Vermilion Bird Formation!
Among the four ancient formations, the blade was used for attack, the star was used for defense, the escape was used for evasion, and the chief was used for borrowing.
The chief formation was a borrowing formation. It borrowed the power of the constellations in the heavens to kill the enemy. Going against the chief formation was going against the constellations in the heavens.
"How can you condense a Vermilion Bird Formation in such a hurry?"
Yang Dingtian was in disbelief. He took a closer look and found a clue. "Hahaha, so it's a formation. Maintaining a formation consumes one's lifespan. This Vermilion Bird Formation consumes five hundred years of lifespan for two hours. How long can you last?"
Yang Dingtian stood at the entrance of the cave and laughed. Although he could not barge in, Mu Yun wanted to maintain the Vermilion Bird Formation, which consumed a lot of energy. As long as he blocked the entrance, he could surround and kill the two of them.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll just sit here and trap you. If you know what's good for you, come out and surrender obediently. I can still leave your corpses intact."
Yang Dingtian snorted and sat down on a big rock at the entrance of the cave. He looked calm and composed.
Mu Yun looked terrible. If he continued to consume his lifespan, he would not be able to hold on.
The Great Life Snatching Art burned his lifespan to increase his strength. He almost never used it because lifespan was too precious to a martial artist.
Corpse Imperial Concubine Xuan was also anxious. This was only a temporary measure, and it naturally wouldn't last long.
She shouted to Yang Dingtian, "Hey, I am the daughter of the Corpse Emperor City's owner. Aren't you afraid of my family's revenge if you kill me?"
Yang Dingtian said, "Only the Nine Tripod Trading Company and the Necrophagous Beasts know about the appearance of the Tianyuan Mirror. In order to get the Tianyuan Mirror, the two of us will definitely turn against each other. If I kill you, I will do a great service and the president will reward me handsomely."
. "Mu Yun listened quietly. She suddenly understood. No wonder other forces did not come to fight for the Heavenly Origin Mirror. Only the Jiuding Trading and the Corpse Eating Beast Clan. No one else knew about it.
In that case, the Jiuding Trading and the Corpse Eating Beast Clan could not get along well. In order to snatch the Heavenly Origin Mirror, they would definitely shed all pretense of cordiality.
If Yang Dingtian killed Shi Feixuan, the President of the Jiuding Trading would be very happy.
Shi Feixuan and Mu Yun looked at each other. Their faces were solemn.
Shi Feixuan gently held Mu Yun's hand and said softly, "Don't worry. My father knows that something happened to me. He will definitely send people to rescue me. We will be fine."
Mu Yun nodded. Now that things had come to this, they could only act according to the circumstances. Yang Dingtian laughed and said, "Do you think that you are the only one who has reinforcements and I don't? I have already reported to the President that the Heavenly Origin Mirror has appeared. It is absolutely true. Tomorrow, my Jiuding Trading's main force will come. At that time, no matter how many of your Corpse Eating Beast Clan members come, I will kill them all.
There will be fewer people! "
Hearing this, Mu Yun and Shi Feixuan's faces became more and more unsightly.
Time passed bit by bit. The next day arrived. In order to maintain the Vermilion Bird Formation, Mu Yun had already consumed thousands of years of his life. If this continued, even without Yang Dingtian's help, he would play himself to death.
At this time, the main force of the Jiuding Trading had arrived.
A group of yellow-clothed disciples appeared at the entrance of the cave and stood respectfully beside Yang Dingtian.
"These two people are the enemies of our Jiuding Trading. You guys stay here and guard them well. I will go out and find out the whereabouts of the Heavenly Origin Mirror."
When Yang Dingtian saw that the reinforcements had arrived, he gave the order. He could not keep guarding here. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Origin Mirror was taken away by others, he would be in trouble. He had to go and check it out personally.
"Lord Dingtian, the enemy is inside and has no power to resist. We can just go in and capture them. Why do we have to waste time guarding them?" A disciple asked doubtfully.
"Haha, you are right. Go in and capture them." Yang Dingtian laughed.
"Yes, Lord!"
The disciple was overjoyed. He thought that the opportunity to perform a meritorious service had come. He immediately drew his weapon and rushed into the cave.
However, as soon as he stepped into the cave, he triggered the Vermilion Bird Formation. Monstrous starlight and raging flames surged and exploded.
The disciple screamed in pain. His body was annihilated in the blazing starlight and turned into ashes.
The surrounding disciples were horrified when they saw this scene. They retreated one after another and did not dare to go near.
"Humph, if I could go in, I would have gone in long ago."
Yang Dingtian snorted and then said helplessly, "It is a pity that I am a new pro-disciple and have not learned the secret of ancient formations. Otherwise, with the ancient formations that have been passed down for thousands of years in Jiuding Trading, it would be a piece of cake for me to break this little Vermilion Bird Formation."
In addition to being good at business, Jiuding Trading also had a special skill, which was ancient formations.
In the Three Elements Realm, Jiuding Trading's ancient formations were the most authentic. The ancient formation masters that they produced were also respected.
Many races and forces had conflicts with Jiuding Trading over territory. However, they had never shed all pretense of cordiality. This was because Jiuding Trading's ancient formations were the most powerful. They needed to cooperate with Jiuding Trading.
Moreover, a special profession like ancient formation master had a huge network of connections. If one offended an ancient formation master, it would definitely bring about endless trouble.
However, it was very difficult to become an ancient formation master. Most of the people in Jiuding Trading were ancient formation apprentices. The only true first-grade ancient formation masters were Hao Tian, Jun Tian, You Tian, and Wu Tian.
"When I get the Heavenly Origin Mirror, the president will definitely reward me handsomely. At that time, I will be bestowed with the secret of ancient formations. I will then become a true ancient formation master and be respected by thousands."
Yang Dingtian secretly calculated. Although he wanted to kill Mu Yun and Shi Feixuan, it was obvious that the Heavenly Origin Mirror was more important now.
He handed the task of guarding over to his disciples and left to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Origin Mirror.
Seeing Yang Dingtian leave, Mu Yun and Shi Feixuan heaved a sigh of relief. Although they were still surrounded, without Yang Dingtian, the pressure was not as great.
Night fell. The Vermillion Bird Formation was still operating. Mu Yun's lifespan was still being consumed. Jiuding Trading's disciples were still tightly surrounding the cave entrance. The situation was still grim.
Mu Yun's face was gloomy. If this continued, she would definitely die. Now, she had to at least solve the problem of the formation. She could not burn her lifespan anymore. Otherwise, she would die sooner or later.
"Miss Shi, can you draw your own formation?" Mu Yun asked.
Shi Feixuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Cough, cough. To tell you the truth, I don't understand."
Mu Yun said in surprise, "Why don't you understand? Aren't you a first-grade ancient formation master?"
Shi Feixuan said, "I'm indeed a first-grade ancient formation master, but I'm not a combat master. I'm a formation master. I only know how to draw formations."
Mu Yun said, "There are different types of ancient formation masters?"
Shi Feixuan nodded and said, "There are two types of ancient formation masters: combat masters and drawing formations. I only know how to draw formations. I can give pointers on formations, but when it comes to combat, I can't do anything."
Mu Yun felt a headache. It seemed that this rich young miss really had no combat experience. She did not know how to fight, nor did she know how to draw a formation for combat.
"Then will you teach me? I'll draw it. "
Mu Yun asked directly. He could not afford to burn his lifespan like this.
"You want to learn ancient formation techniques?" Shi Feixuan said in surprise.
"Yes." Mu Yun nodded. He was serious.
Shi Feixuan said, "This is very difficult. How can you learn it in a hurry?"
Mu Yun said, "I have to learn it even if I don't want to. Otherwise, my lifespan will be exhausted."
Mu Yun thought about how he had cultivated all the way from a mortal to a Half-Saint. He had a strong foundation in the art of matrices. It was not impossible for him to learn the art of ancient matrices.
Moreover, he kept burning his lifespan to maintain the Vermilion Bird Formation. He gradually understood the various mysteries of the Vermilion Bird Formation. What he needed now was some basic knowledge of ancient formation techniques.
"Okay, I'll teach you."
Shi Feixuan took out a scroll and unfolded it on the ground. The title of the scroll was "Introduction to Ancient Formation". The content was all kinds of introductory knowledge of ancient formation techniques.
The disciples outside the cave also saw the scene in the cave. They could not help but laugh.
"Did I hear wrongly? That kid wants to learn ancient formation techniques."
"Hahaha, he's about to die, but he still wants to learn ancient formation techniques."
"I've learned it for tens of thousands of years, but I can't even touch the threshold. This kid is whimsical. He wants to learn ancient formation techniques in a hurry. What a fool's dream."
…
Hearing the ridicule outside, Shi Feixuan looked a little embarrassed.
Mu Yun calmed down and said, "It's okay. You don't have to worry about it. Just teach me."
"Okay."
Shi Feixuan was helpless. He asked Mu Yun to read the content on the scroll. Then, he began to explain.
"Ancient formations are divided into blade, shield, and evasion. Blade is for attacking, shield is for defense, evasion is for evading, and evasion is for borrowing. The elements of the formation are wind, thunder, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, poison, and so on …"
Shi Feixuan did not avoid it and explained directly. The disciples outside of the Jiuding Trading could also hear it.
However, this content was the most basic ancient formation content. Anyone who had a little contact with ancient formations would have heard of it. These disciples naturally knew it too. Now that they heard Shi Feixuan say it, they were too lazy to eavesdrop because they already knew it.
Mu Yun listened with great interest. He felt as if a new door had opened in front of him.
His lifespan was still burning. His connection with the Vermilion Bird Formation was getting closer and closer. He gradually understood the various mysteries of the Vermilion Bird Formation. The complicated lines of the formation appeared in his mind and kept breaking down into simple lines.
