Chapter 694: Preparing for the Battle
In the afternoon, Jingtian came out of Monkey King Mountain, accompanied only by Jiuxiao, Aoshui and Heilang.
Apparently Black Wolf had finally woken up from his hangover.
Although Jingtian felt a little depressed after Adu and Axing left, he did not forget to take away the wine barrels in the cave.
"Transfer all the Lingyuan fruit trees on the mountain to space."
Jingtian made the decision because the wood demon also sent news that the antidote could alleviate the poisoning of the fruit trees.
In fact, there is no need for antidote. Just watering the fruit trees with stone milk water that has been diluted countless times will also help the fruit trees recover faster.
Jingtian was not in the mood to pull up the trees one by one, so he directly released the God of War and used his control to quickly collect all the fruit trees, which totaled more than 300 trees.
"Jingtian, let's go back. My people have collected a lot of medicinal herbs and are waiting for you to collect them." Jiuxiao saw that Jingtian was in a bad mood and reminded him.
"We are leaving now. Don't forget my spirit gathering array." Black Wolf also reminded Jingtian.
This was the agreement it had made with Snowflake before.
"Okay, let's go. First we'll collect the herbs, and then go to Black Wolf's base." Jingtian took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
In fact, he is just a little bit not used to it, but it is not a life-and-death separation. After experiencing the departure of Lan Ya and Xiao Pang, Jingtian has become somewhat immune to it.
Then the group quickly returned the way they came and met up with a large group of griffins halfway.
When Jingtian saw the medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs collected by the Griffin Brigade, his mood suddenly improved.
It took two hundred griffins nearly two days to collect a huge pile of herbs. Without distinguishing the species, there were as many as two thousand plants, and nearly 20% of them were first-grade spiritual herbs.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I will prepare a batch of stone milk wine for you brothers in a while." Jingtian collected the herbs into the space and threw them to the wood demon, while expressing his gratitude to all the griffins.
The griffins are not Jingtian's slaves, so Jingtian cannot take it for granted that they are helping him and just say nothing.
Afterwards, the Griffin Brigade also returned to the dimensional space, and the only thing left was to help Black Wolf set up the spirit gathering array. After this matter was resolved, the trip to Shennong Mountain would be over.
Black Wolf’s base is relatively close to the edge of Shennong Mountain, not far from the secret place where Xiaopang entered, but it is at least three thousand kilometers away from here.
Although Ao Shui and Heilang can fly, it is time-consuming and laborious, so in the end they all returned to the dimensional space, leaving only Jingtian and Jiuxiao to continue flying.
Jiuxiao, Adu and the others had stolen elixirs from the Black Wolf's territory before, so they knew the location very well and arrived here in less than an hour.
After Black Wolf was released, the rest of the people did not follow him out.
The black wolf took Jingtian into the valley where it lived, all the way to the foot of the mountain at the end of the valley, in front of a huge cave.
"Is it better to set up the spirit gathering array inside the cave or at the entrance?" Black Wolf asked Jingtian.
"It depends on what you want. For me, as long as the area is more than 100 square meters, I can arrange it there." Jing Tianyi shrugged and said.
Jingtian is definitely a successful person in arranging a fourth-level spirit gathering array. If the arrangement here is successful, Jingtian will be a real eighth-level array master .
If successful, Jingtian will consider setting up one in the dimensional space.
It is not for a certain position in the space, nor for oneself, but to absorb more spiritual energy into the dimensional space.
Normally, the spirit gathering array in the dimensional space must be closed, otherwise it will affect the balance of spiritual energy in the space.
"I have two spirit cores, and I have to rely on you for the auxiliary materials." Black Wolf said.
Jingtian rolled his eyes and said, "Then you can exchange it with the extra spiritual core."
The black wolf glanced at Jingtian and neither agreed nor refused. He directly took Jingtian into the cave.
This cave is also extremely spacious, as if half a mountain is empty. There is actually a small pool in the middle of the cave, and in the middle of the pool is a huge rock, and on the rock is a majestic stone sculpture of a giant wolf.
"Such a familiar scene. Did you create this place yourself?" Jingtian looked at the pond and the black wolf stone sculpture and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Of course not, this is the cave left behind by our Black Wolf ancestors." Black Wolf explained.
"Oh my god, it's another senior cultivator. Well... forget it, I won't ask about the secrets of your race. Give me the spirit core, I want to get to work." Jingtian put aside his curiosity and prepared to start working directly.
The black wolf didn't waste any time and went straight to a big rock in the corner. He waved his claws, and the rock moved. He then poked his head in and took out a fist-sized spirit core.
"Intermediate gold spirit core?"
As soon as Jingtian saw the spirit core, his eyes lit up and greed arose in his heart.
Although there are no gold-attributed spirit beasts around him, he has a disciple, Jin Long, who has the gold attribute!
Jin Long is now at the peak of level nine. With the help of this golden spirit core, he will be able to successfully enter the king level.
"Do you want to covet my spirit core?" Black Wolf looked at Jingtian's appearance and spoke in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
"Hehe... don't say it so harshly. You have two, right? Use the other one as the base of the array, and this one can be used as an exchange for auxiliary materials." Jingtian said with a slight embarrassment.
"I didn't agree. The other one is too low level, and I have already used up most of my energy on cultivation." Black Wolf said, and took out another spirit core from under the boulder.
This one is indeed smaller than the gold series, and the color, which was originally supposed to be light red, is now a bit gray.
"Is this... a spirit core with mutated blood attributes?" Jingtian was a little surprised.
Black Wolf and Little Fatty are both wolf demons with mutated blood attributes. This attribute is too rare, let alone a spiritual beast with this attribute. You can imagine how difficult it is to obtain such a spiritual core.
Of course, such a spiritual core is indeed not suitable as the base of the formation.
Jingtian was a little conflicted, as the base material of the level 4 formation had exceeded his current ability to bear.
Although Jingtian, a level 7 formation master, can use the king level when practicing formations, the level 4 spirit gathering formation is equivalent to the ordinary level 8.
So theoretically, the material of this array base needs to be higher than the king-level crystal core.
Of course spirit stones are fine, but Jingtian would have to be crazy to use spirit stones in exchange for this spirit core.
Now Jingtian only has an earth-type spirit stone obtained from the Violent Earth Brown Bear. Even if it is the lowest level, it is several times more precious than the high-level spirit core. The two are basically incomparable .
If spirit stones are used as the formation base, it would probably be a king-level formation.
"Forget it, just consider it as a friendly sponsorship and do a loss-making business for once."
Jingtian struggled for a while, but finally gave up the idea of embezzling the gold crystal core, and he didn't want the blood crystal core either.
The formation is set up for free, and auxiliary materials are also provided. This time Jingtian’s sponsorship is purely out of friendship.
"You do it first. Although you said at the beginning that you would help me set up the formation unconditionally, if you succeed, I won't let your hard work be in vain." Black Wolf said to Jingtian.
"Oh? You have other good things... Are you going to give me your Chiyuan fruit tree?" Jingtian raised his eyebrows and became interested.
Jingtian knew that the black wolf was guarding a magical medicine, and it was a level two one.
"Of course not. You stole two of the Red Yuan Fruits. There are three left. I want to keep the ones for Xiaopang." said Black Wolf.
"…Then you must guard it well."
When Jingtian heard that it was for Xiaopang, he immediately gave up the idea, and then became more curious about what Heilang was going to give him.
"I can tell you, it's about the formation. You won't forget the formation that trapped your companion, right?" Black Wolf reminded Jingtian.
"Um?"
Jingtian's eyebrows suddenly raised.
If Black Wolf hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten about this matter. This formation was very powerful. Black Wolf didn't understand the formation, but he knew how to open the formation. This was naturally a problem.
"I'll tell you when you finish setting up the formation," said Black Wolf.
