Long Road to Stardom

Chapter 199 Ridicule

Passing through the 'Quicksand Waterfall', the environment inside is completely different from the scenery outside.

The wind and sand seemed to be blocked out and could not be felt at all.

Looking at the green corridor, Lin Xing was a little surprised, but she didn't show it at all, which made He Yuanzheng, who had been observing her, look very disappointed.

When they reached the end of the passage, the group stopped.

At the end of the passage is an abyss. The entrance of the abyss is covered by miasma, and you can't see what's inside at all.

Lin Xing could tell at a glance that the miasma was formed by an illusion array set up by someone. Apparently, this was the entrance to the cave that Lu Qing had mentioned, which was shrouded in an array.

But for some reason, she always felt that the miasma was a little eerie. However, she would not warn them, and it seemed that they did not notice it at all.

As for Lu Qing, she still sent a voice message to remind him.

When they arrived at the place, everyone except Lin Xing was discussing how to cooperate with the formation master to break the formation.

"You can break the formation, but let me make it clear first. I am only responsible for breaking the formation. If there is any danger along the way, I will not take action. You must protect me. And I must take one more of the things I got this time."

This formation master looked like an old man over fifty years old. He looked very arrogant and made Lin Xing and others feel a little uncomfortable as soon as he opened his mouth.

But if they wanted to break the formation, they could rely on him now, so the group endured it and agreed to his request.

Lin Xing found it a little funny watching from the side.

Fortunately, she wore a mask this time, otherwise if she was seen by He Yuanzheng, I don’t know how he would dislike her.

Seeing that everyone agreed, the old man began to observe the formation and prepared to break it.

Lin Xing's eyes followed the old man's movements, wanting to see how he would break the formation.

When Lin Xing heard the old man say that this was a dual-attribute formation of water and ice, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that this old man was quite capable, as he had figured out some of the clues so quickly.

After a while, Lin Xing saw the old man fly to the edge of the formation and take out three sets of formation flags and some strange magical weapons from his storage ring.

He first picked up one of the battle flags and shot them into the miasma, then shouted, "Rise!"

The formation flags shot into the miasma each emitted a beam of light, which were about to converge together to form a new formation.

But when they were about to meet, the beam of light suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

He frowned, and continued to pick up a set of formation flags, using the same method as before, but when it came to the critical moment, the formation flags became silent, like a stone sinking into the sea, without any ripples at all.

After using up all three sets of formation flags, the formation in front of him remained motionless.

The old man's wrinkles, which were already quite deep, became even deeper.

At this moment, the old man picked up some strange magic weapons and threw them into the miasma. Except for a fiery red bead that made the formation fluctuate slightly, the others did not even cause a splash.

Seeing this, Lu Qing, He Yuanzheng and others flew to the side of the old man and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Wu Qiu pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "I have tried many methods just now, but I have not been able to break this formation. I think the only way left is to break the formation with force. What do you think?"

"Fellow Daoist Wu, to be honest, we have tried this method before, but we used up all our spiritual energy and didn't even shake the formation. This method doesn't seem to work."

Lu Qing quickly told them the method they had used once before.

"Friend Lu, don't you believe me?" Wu Qiu narrowed his eyes and said with some displeasure.

"How could that be? Fellow Daoist Wu is well-known in Dan City for his attainments in formations."

"Since Fellow Daoist Wu is so insistent, let's give it a try."

"I guess it was because it was just me and Friend Zuo that we couldn't do anything about this formation. Now that we have six of us, we can definitely give it a try."

After Wu Qiu heard Lu Qing's words, his angry expression eased, and he said, "Actually, I have a magic weapon that can weaken the formation, so I want to use this method to break the formation."

"Before, I wanted to break the formation with a formation, but I didn't expect that this formation was so difficult to deal with. The things I brought were not complete, and I really couldn't do anything about this formation. I could only resort to this last resort."

When the group heard that there was a magical weapon that could weaken the formation, the wind direction immediately changed. Yang Anping, who had been silent, immediately said something in a flattering manner.

"Fellow Daoist Wu is truly righteous. Everyone knows that the magical instruments that can weaken the formation are very expensive. The fact that you can bring them out is enough to prove your sincerity. It really makes us ashamed."

Wu Qiu was very pleased to hear this. He swept away his previous decadence and returned to his arrogant expression when he was first seen. He also asked everyone not to forget what he had promised at the beginning. As for Lin Xing, he had already ignored him.

Lin Xing was amazed as she listened, and felt that this old man was much more impressive than her, an alchemist.

Fortunately, Lu Qing has never forgotten Lin Xing's existence. If Lin Xing hadn't told him not to reveal her identity as a sixth-grade alchemist and only revealed that she was a second-grade alchemist, he would not be in his current situation.

As for the name, they had discussed it at the beginning.

Since they were going to use force to break the formation, everyone except Lin Xing gathered together to discuss which point they should break the formation from, and they quickly determined the location.

Lin Xing smiled and said nothing, without any complaints. This actually made Lu Qing feel distressed. He insisted that Lin Xing must participate in it so that they could divide the things when they entered the cave and not return empty-handed.

No one else could convince him, so he had no choice but to agree, hoping that by adding one more person, he could break through the formation in one fell swoop.

Although Lin Xing didn't care, he still showed gratitude to Lu Qing.

"At least it's someone else's hard work."

After they decided on the seat, Lin Xing also stood up and walked to the side.

As for breaking the formation by force, she was not optimistic at all.

Although the old man could tell that this was a dual-attribute formation of water and ice, there was one thing he didn't realize, which was that this formation also contained rebound force and could absorb the attacks of cultivators.

Yuanying cultivators may still have a slight chance to break that critical point, but for them in the late Jindan stage, it is almost impossible to break the formation by force.

However, they had already stayed here long enough, and Lin Xing did not want to miss the Alchemist Conference because of exploring this ancient cultivator's cave.

She will have to do something with the formation and break it directly.

When everyone was ready, Lin Xing directly summoned out one of his life-saving magic weapons, the 'Wind and Frost Sword'.

This made He Zhengyuan on the side tease, "Wow, an alchemist actually uses a sword as his life magic weapon, it's really eye-opening."
