Chapter 282: Departure

ituation to Master Zhang. He'll definitely understand."The two of them whispered a few words to each other, then the fellow surnamed Miao rose his magical artifact and broke through the water surface,...Ge Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter me. Even if we can't find the herb garden, I know of some places in Qiuhongfang Market where treasures are stored. If we work together to explore them, we're sure to find something and won't let you return empty-handed."

The Cloud Wanderer smiled faintly and nodded, merely perfunctorily agreeing with Ge Yuan.

Qin Sang understood that Yun Youzi, like him, valued only the healing elixir. If they couldn't find it, their journey would have been in vain.

Three people each dripped their essence blood onto the same heart pendant, merging it together.

Once the like-minded fellows absorb each other's essence, they will be connected.

Then one person took a piece of the double happiness pendant, and after discussing it again, they parted ways, each going their separate way.

Before entering the Qiuhongfang Market, please do not contact unless necessary.

In the little courtyard.

Everyone stood in their respective positions, listening as Yu Kong explained the Return to Origin Formation in detail.

The principle of the Guiyuan Formation is not complicated. This formation can gather the power of nine people within the formation onto one person. By gathering the strength of nine, they can confront various dangerous situations that may arise when the formation is broken.

This formation isn't strictly requiring nine people, but if the number is insufficient, the power of the formation will be greatly reduced. If there are only three or two people, it's almost the same as having none. It would even restrict their movements and be worse than acting individually and adapting to the situation.

The power of the Returning to One formation is maximized when all nine individuals are present.

Of the nine people in the formation, the one who receives the power is also the main array person, called the eye of the array. The eye of the array can be rotated, but it takes time. When danger comes, there may not be enough time. Only when the main array person is accidentally injured and unable to shoulder the responsibility of the eye of the array will they consider replacing him with someone else.

Among all the people present, Yu Kong possessed the highest cultivation level and had even entered the Qiu Hong Fang Market before. He was undoubtedly the most suitable leader for this battle formation.

Qin Sang carefully studied the Guiyuan Array after that, and felt that it differed significantly from the Jiuyao Xinghe Array. The biggest difference lay in the autonomy of the people within the array.

Once the Nine Radiance Star River Formation is established, everyone's power combines to form a star river, its power immeasurable. However, those within the formation lose all freedom and are constantly drained of their spiritual energy by the formation itself, unable even to break free from it.

Unless there is a high degree of trust between each other.

>Or perhaps while they were exploring ancient ruins, a great power was pressing down upon them.

Only then would it be possible to agree to such an arrangement.

Although the formation has been improved by Si Kong Mu Yue, this defect remains to some extent.

But every advantage has a disadvantage. Because the changes are few, mastering the Nine Radiance Star River Formation doesn't take too long.

However, the Guiyuan Formation is different. Although the leader of the main formation still wields great power, their influence over others is not as strong. When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own safety and need not worry about being dragged down by the leader of the main formation.

Qin Sang guessed that Yu Kong's choice to join the Yuanzhen faction was a helpless one, after all, they were strangers and couldn't build much trust. However, it also increased instability.

>

To this, Yu Kong specifically made a warning.

Unless there is true danger to life, no one is allowed to leave the Guiyuan formation without permission. Otherwise, you will bring danger to others, and don't blame Yu for being ruthless! This has been stated in advance, so don't say I didn't warn you!

Yu Kong retracted the smile from his face and swept a cold gaze across the crowd, reminding everyone that he was a mid-Foundation Establishment expert, far from being a gentle scholar.

Under Yu Kong's intense gaze, Qin Sang nodded solemnly. His peripheral vision caught the varied expressions of the others, finally landing on the three who had joined later.

These three people were also loose cultivators recruited by Yu Kong.

One of them was an elderly man wearing a black robe. This person was extremely thin, his hands were so thin that they resembled the claws of an eagle, and he was known as Mu Teng Elder.

The One-Handed Wooden Staff Method Mantra is truly extraordinary.

This is a placeholder for some text. It could be anything!

The second was a short and stout middle-aged man named Wu Chen. Like Qin Sang, he was skilled with the sword, but his sword was hidden in his fan. The seven ribs of the fan were seven sharp blades.

The last one was a woman, dressed in a crimson light gauze, revealing her clothes, with a charming temperament. Her eyes were like ripples, as if she was sending amorous glances to anyone, and her name sounded good too: Yueya Fairy.

This will be translated into English.

Shu Zhirui also had a bit of allure, but compared to Yueya Xian, she seemed much more immature. There was repulsion between them as women, and the two seemed to dislike each other, with gunpowder hidden in their gazes.

The fairy Yueya's magic weapon is a red line that changes in many ways.

Just like the fan of Hei and Chen, it's more like a kind of weapon.

Including Qin Sang, everyone's displayed strength was already quite impressive. Among the scattered cultivators, they were also top-notch.

“The jade slips contain various variations of the Returning Yuan Formation. Fellow cultivators, please record them carefully. After that, we will begin practicing the formation technique. In three months, we will set off,” Yu Kong said as he sent out several jade slips.

Yueya Xian was incredibly surprised by Yu Kong's decision, exaggeratingly covering her mouth.

"Elder Yu, why such haste Isn't the Qihong Pavilion market still at least a year away"

The voice of the Moonlit Fairy was as charming and alluring as her appearance. Hearing it made one feel as if there were a fire burning in their stomach. If someone lacked willpower, they would be captivated by her voice alone.

Yu Kong remained composed, ignoring Yueya Fairy's demeanor. He patiently explained, "The protective formation of Qiuhongfang Market is enigmatic and difficult to fathom. I just received news that the formation has undergone new changes."

Due to the short duration of the trough period, we have little time.

We'd best arrive early to wait outside the market. The moment a lull occurs, we immediately enter the formation. Even if it buys us just another cup of tea's worth of time, we might gain another treasure.

Besides, the distance between Xihhuang Town and Qiuhongfang Market is not short. You'd better set off early so you can travel at your leisure, get to know each other while training, and thus have a greater chance of success in breaking through the formation.”

After that, they did what Yu Kong told them to do.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye. Everyone practiced cultivation while practicing formations, becoming extremely proficient in the Returning Yuan Formation. When the time came, they left Xīhuāng Town together and headed north.

Everyone brought plenty of talismans and elixirs, slowly approaching Qiuhongfang Market. After getting to know each other, they would sometimes join forces to slay cloud beasts, distributing the spoils equally. On the surface, the team atmosphere was very harmonious.

As time passed, they got closer and closer to Qiuhongfang Market.

Besides Yan Wu, everyone else on the road had subtly inquired about Qin Sang's plans after entering Qiuhongfang Market. After a period of 'restraint', Qin Sang had long since agreed to Yu Kong's invitation.

He also found that Yu Kong had invited not only him, but probably everyone else.

However, most others didn't share Qin Sang's ulterior motives and were hesitant.

Over these past few days, Qin Sang has not found any clues on Yu Kong.

Yukong didn't care about the rumors at all. Whenever people mentioned them, he would remind everyone with disdain that such an opportunity only came once every thirty years. If they wasted it on rumors, it would be a shame. Instead, they should focus on planning how to win more treasures.

And from Yu Kong's account, they also gained a general understanding of Qiuhongfang Market.
