"I thought I was going to die, but I was saved"
"I know, right?"
"Thank you, fellow Daoist"
The cultivators all looked at him gratefully.
Gu Qing Shan sincerely clasped his fist: "This humble one's strength is low, the only thing I'm good at is formations, please take care of me during the battle later"
He can already tell that these people are all Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.
In a dangerous place surrounded by demons, fighting together with a group of cultivators with higher cultivations than himself, Gu Qing Shan feels like he's walking on thin ice.
He has a deep understanding of how evil people can be.
Gu Qing Shan's words are very sincere, causing the Foundation Establishment cultivators to have a good impression of him.
Someone followed up: "It's fine, we're all following General Sun here, as long as we can hold on, the general will come to save us soon"
Another person said in annoyance: "It's because we weren't careful and were discovered by a demon that suddenly appeared, that's why we ended up like this"
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, but didn't say anything.
They then started to talk with Gu Qing Shan. Gu Qing Shan has his own way of dealing with people, so he gets along well with everyone.
Normally, Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't even look at Aura Training cultivators.
The reason why Gu Qing Shan can get along with these Foundation Establishment cultivators is mainly because he saved them from a life and death crisis, and he's also a powerful formation master.
On the battlefield, formation masters are rare and popular.
That's why cultivators don't treat Gu Qing Shan as cannon fodder, forcing him to stand at the front of the group.
If it was at another time, under different circumstances, these Foundation Establishment cultivators might as well kill him with a wave of their hand.
While they were adjusting their breathing, the leading cultivator asked again: "This formation is quite good, how long can it last?"
As soon as he asked, everyone else quieted down.
Gu Qing Shan finally had a chance to evaluate him.
This person is around 20 years old, his eyes are cold and spirited, he's wearing a light blue armor, holding a long fan in his hand, his body is very clean, after fighting for so long, not even a drop of demon blood could be seen on him.
Fire-type and Wind-type cultivators like to use fans as weapons, while water-type cultivators rarely use fans.
His light blue armor is emitting a cold light of frost, forming a faint icy mist around his body.
What a good set of frost armor, this armor alone is worth a few hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.
This person is most likely a direct disciple of a large sect.
Gu Qing Shan silently raised his evaluation and answered: "This formation can last for half an hour"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Half an hour is enough to restore a portion of their spirit energy, their stamina will also be greatly reduced.
The man's expression loosened and he ordered, "Everyone, rest and recover your spiritual power. We'll move out in half an hour."
Tapping his Inventory Bag, he took out a few pills filled with spirit energy and gave them to everyone. When it came to Gu Qing Shan, he also gave him one without hesitation.
Gu Qing Shan received the pill, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then was a bit surprised.
"Such a precious pill, it's a bit of a waste for a qi training stage cultivator to use" he said.
"It's fine, we're in a dangerous situation right now, use it to restore spirit energy" the person said.
"Very well, thank you" Gu Qing Shan nodded, accepting his kindness.
This is a top-notch Crimson Crane Qi Capturing Pill, worth a thousand gold, no, ten thousand gold!
This is a very precious pill, able to quickly and permanently restore lost spirit energy without any burden on the body, so it's very famous among cultivators.
A single pill like this is enough to save a person's life in a normal battle.
To be able to give such a pill to everyone, this person's personality is quite good, his background and background must be very noble.
This person is a bit older than Gu Qing Shan, his words and actions are quick and clean, but his eyes are cold and emotionless, with a faint sense of alienation.
Noticing Gu Qing Shan looking at him, he thought for a bit, clasped his fist and said: "This humble one is Leng Tian Xing, a direct disciple of Yao Guang Sect, I thank you for your help"
Yao Guang Sect?
Just as I thought, Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
This is one of the biggest sects in the cultivation world, having been around for over a hundred thousand years, a well-known sect in the entire cultivation world.
But in the past life, such an outstanding person didn't have any fame, so he must've died here.
Not to mention this person, even Gu Qing Shan herself can't guarantee that she'll survive in this destroyed world.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, clasped her fist and said: "This humble one is Gu Qing Shan"
Leng Tian Xing clasped his fist and said: "Nice to meet you"
Neither of them are talkative people, so after exchanging pleasantries, they went their separate ways to rest.
Very quickly, everyone closed their eyes and entered a meditative state.
Gu Qing Shan tapped her Inventory Bag, took out the Military Qi Training Scripture and flipped to the back.
On the War God UI, he checked the Soul Points value.
[To comprehend the 7th stage of the Military Qi Training Scripture, Heavenly Hall, will cost 6 Soul Points]
[Comprehended]
[Comprehended, Current Soul Points: 21/7]
After doing all that, Gu Qing Shan put the precious Crimson Crane Qi Holding Pill into her mouth, then took out the snake blood and drank three mouthfuls in a row.
If she doesn't find a chance to break through now, she might die here, so she has to try no matter what.
Gu Qing Shan has made up her mind, using the Crimson Crane Qi Holding Pill's medicinal properties, combined with the snake blood that increases her spirit energy sensitivity, she'll be able to break through to qi training stage 7.
Time quickly passed.
Inside the formation, a small wave of spirit energy slowly spread out, like a pebble thrown into water, creating small ripples.
When Gu Qing Shan uses Soul Points to break through, she can instantly overflow her spirit energy.
This slight change had a slight effect on the surrounding environment.
The world's spirit energy is changing, everyone opened their eyes in surprise.
Leng Tian Xing's expression loosened a bit, saying: "Congratulations fellow Dao seeker Gu, you've improved"
Gu Qing Shan bitterly smiled, shaking her head: "It's only qi training stage 7, it's all thanks to your pill"
"You're too polite, my life was saved by you"
"It's nothing, it's nothing"
Everyone congratulated her one after another.
Their morale increased by 30%, all the cultivators could see the joy in each other's eyes.
Every time a cultivator breaks through a realm, the world's spirit energy will flow into their body, replenishing the spirit energy they used, until their Dantian is full.
Pills work too slowly, how could they compare to the world's gift?
Since Gu Qing Shan broke through, in just a few breaths' time, the spirit energy he used to set up the formation was fully replenished.
And as he reached qi training stage 7, his total spirit energy also increased by 30%.
What does it mean for a formation user to recover to their peak state?
This meant that Gu Qing Shan would be able to arrange the formation again — — perhaps even twice, because his total spirit energy had greatly increased.
The cultivators present all had a plan in their hearts, and they knew the magical effects of that formation.
To be able to hide from thousands of demons, it's practically a life-saving formation.
Because of that, everyone's chance of survival increased by a bit.
But what they don't know is that Gu Qing Shan doesn't know anything about formations.
"If that's the case" Leng Tian Xing stood up, "we'll head Northwest, there's a cave there, it's a hiding spot that General Sun Gong arranged for us, there's a permanent concealment formation, we can rest there"
"Got it!"
"Vice General Leng is the most knowledgeable, I have no objections"
"Yes sir"
Everyone answered.
Gu Qing Shan silently looked at his map, seeing that it's exactly the same as what he said, he finally calmed down.
At this point, 70% of the demons have left, only a few that are still fighting each other are still there.
Leng Tian Xing began to pick people and assign tasks: "Wu Jin, Ma Liu, the two of you take the front, Wang Cheng, Luo Xiao, the two of you take care of the flanks"
He then looked at Gu Qing Shan, saying: "You're a formation user, so you'll stay in the middle to protect yourself, is there a problem?"
Gu Qing Shan answered without hesitation: "No problem"
Breaking through the encirclement of countless demons, no matter which direction you go, is dangerous, but staying in the middle of everyone is a lot safer.
Gu Qing Shan's formation is too powerful, no matter how many demons there are, they won't be able to find their position. At a crucial moment, this can save their lives.
The sword cultivator called Wang Cheng suddenly asked: "Vice General Leng, what about you?"
Leng Tian Xing's face was expressionless as he answered: "I'll stay behind you, I'll cover the rear"
Covering the rear is the most dangerous, but Leng Tian Xing left that position for himself.
Everyone was filled with respect.
