“Cough cough…”
Youdaoplaceholder0 that he had just been a little out of control, Xu Taiping coughed twice and then asked the young man again in the tone of an old grandfather: “Young man, this is the immortal method of turning stones into gold. Why don’t you want to learn it?”
As he spoke, he picked up a small stone and turned it into gold in front of the young man again.
Although the young man’s eyes were still full of surprise, he still shook his head and said:
“Old man, a stone is just a stone. If you turn a stone into gold, isn’t that cheating？”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to refute for a while.
“Old man, you must not deceive people. My mother said that it doesn’t matter if a person is a little poorer, but he must be kind and have ambition.”
While saying this, the boy nervously picked up the volume of books from the ground, and then shook it at Xu Taiping with a proud face and said： “My mother also said that the rich don’t need to buy good fields, there are thousands of bushels of millet in the books. There is no need to build a tall hall for living, there is a golden house in the books. As long as you study well, you will have everything.”
When it came to studying, the eyes of this seven or eight-year-old boy suddenly shone with light.
“Your mother is right. Study hard.”
After a moment of silence, Xu Taiping suddenly smiled at the boy and then gently patted him on the shoulder.
“Ayu！ It’s time to go home and eat！ …”
Just then, the shout of a woman suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.
“Got it, mother！”
The boy immediately stood up.
“Old man, my mother is calling me to eat, and I have to go！”
After shouting at Xu Taiping, he nervously put away the books, and then jumped on the big black dog, and began to drive the flock of sheep down the hillside.
When he was almost at the foot of the hillside, the boy suddenly turned around again and shouted at Xu Taiping at the top of his voice：
“Old man, don’t rush up the mountain. I’ll come to you later！”
Xu Taiping didn’t answer, but just waved his hand at the teenager from a distance.
“It seems that the little guy has regretted it and still wants to learn immortal techniques.”
At this time, Zhai Mo also walked over with a smile.
Xu Taiping felt that the teenager didn’t seem to have to change his mind, but he didn’t refute Zhai Mo, just smiled.
“Young master, Brother Zhai Mo, I have set up the formation for hiding my figure and concealing my breath. You two come in quickly！”
At this time, Old Zhang suddenly transmitted his voice to Xu Taiping and Zhai Mo at the same time.
“Young master, let’s go. When we get to the town, there will be plenty of opportunities for the people in the town to ask us for help.”
Zhai Mo turned his head and looked at Xu Taiping.
“Well, let’s go.” Xu Taiping nodded.
Just now he was just taking a chance. If it succeeded, it would be better. If it didn’t succeed, it wouldn’t delay anything.
……
“Young master, my formation is to arrange according to the mountain trend and terrain. Even if the magic cultivators of Jiuyuan know that we are on Jinding Mountain, as long as they can’t break my formation, even if they come to the front, they will turn a blind eye to us.”
In a chaotic stone forest on Jinding Mountain, Old Zhang assured Xu Taiping very confidently.
This place is only more than a hundred zhang away from the place where the teenager was herding sheep just now, and it can be seen at a glance.
“Young master, the magic cultivators in the fourth layer of the tower at most only have the cultivation base of the Tongxuan Realm and don’t have the ability to move mountains and fill seas. Old Zhang’s barrier is more than enough to deal with them.
Miss Yuzhu said excitedly at this time.
She learned a lot when helping Old Zhang set up this formation.
“Thank you, Old Zhang.”
Xu Taiping stood outside the formation and took a look. As Old Zhang said, he really couldn’t see the situation inside. He immediately nodded with satisfaction.
Successfully completing the first step of the plan after entering the Western Layer of the Mysterious Desolation Tower made him feel much more relaxed.
What they have to do now is just wait.
“Then, Young Master, do you think we still need to set up the Earth Traveling Escape Formation？”
Old Zhang confirmed with Xu Taiping at this time.
“Just setting up the Earth Traveling Escape Formation for two people to travel underground, I only need half a stick of incense at most. But setting up the formation will consume most of the spirit stones and magic weapons in our hands. If we want to set up other formations next, I may be powerless.”
He then explained another sentence.
Hearing what Old Zhang said, the eyes of Zhai Mo and Yuzhu also looked at Xu Taiping in unison.
Looking at everyone’s eyes, Xu Taiping suddenly recalled the admonition given to him by Fairy Lingyue before leaving——
“As the leader, your decision is very likely to determine the life and death of you and your subordinates in the future.”
After seriously thinking for a while, Xu Taiping finally nodded heavily and said：
“Old Zhang, you and Miss Yuzhu continue to set up the Earth Traveling Escape Formation.”
In the end, he still decided to believe in his first intuition.
“Got it！”
Old Zhang immediately clasped his fists tightly upon hearing this.
He, whose proposal was refuted, not only didn’t have the slightest bit of displeasure, but instead had a hint of joy in his eyes.
At the same time, the sound-transmitting jade slip that Xu Taiping carried close to his body suddenly became hot.
He immediately took it out and injected a strand of true essence into it.
Immediately, the voice of Gongshu Nanxing came from the jade slip——
“Young Master, I just passed by a team of demonic cultivators. The treasure in their hands should have detected your location and they are mobilizing people to search.”
“Didn’t they find you？” Xu Taiping immediately replied.
“No, it should be just as you speculated, Young Master. They also think that I’m already dead.”
Gongshu Nanxing answered.
Upon hearing this, the tightly wound string in Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly relaxed a little.
He had just been worried that his speculation was wrong and that Miss Nanxing would be discovered by the demonic cultivators of Jiuyuan.
After all, if the demonic cultivators of Jiuyuan really wrote Gongshu Nanxing’s name into the Soul Treasure Map, Gongshu Nanxing would have no way to escape.
“That’s good. Here, Old Zhang has also arranged a formation to hide our figures. However, for the sake of insurance, we will still arrange an Earth Element Escape Formation just in case. So when the time comes, it will still be necessary for Miss Nanxing to come and guide us.”
Xu Taiping continued to transmit his voice to Gongshu Nanxing.
Not long after, the voice of Gongshu Nanxing came from the jade slip again——
Young master, don’t worry. I will definitely choose a hidden place to guide you and Elder Zhang over.
Also, according to my calculation, it should take at least half a stick of incense for those demonic cultivators from Jiuyuan to patrol to that Golden Summit Mountain. During this period, you and Brother Zhai Mo must not show up.
