21: Taiyi Liangyi Array

At this moment, Su Lin, who was at the center of the storm, was completely unaware of the outside world.

He stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching his two disciple gradually close the last corner of the Taiyi Liangyi Formation.

As the last Formation Flag fell,

the huge Spiritual Qi vortex covering the Qingyao Mountain Range suddenly contracted, transforming into a towering pillar of light that fiercely poured into the Qingyao Sect's earth脈!

In an instant, the mountains and rivers trembled!

A brand new, massive light screen, woven from black and white Qi, evolving into infinite variations, replaced the previously fragile green grand formation, firmly protecting the entire Qingyao Sect.

The grand formation was complete!

Within the Qingyao Sect, all the disciple felt a world-shattering change.

The Spiritual Qi in the air was so dense it was almost liquid; with a light breath, they felt their cultivation Bottlenecks subtly loosen.

The flowers, plants, and trees in the mountains grew wildly at a visible speed, radiating an unprecedented spiritual glow.

Several Spirit Beasts residing in the back mountain were directly bathed in the spiritual light, breaking through their ranks on the spot and letting out excited roars.

The entire Qingyao Sect, under the cover of the Taiyi Liangyi Formation, had indeed transformed into a rare blessed land in the current era!

"Revered Master…" The two women bowed to Su Lin.

Looking at his calm and composed back, their hearts were filled with nothing but admiration.

This was their Revered Master!

Even if his cultivation had fallen, his ancient insight and unfathomable methods were still an existence they would need a lifetime to look up to!

"Congratulations, Supreme Being Su, for your unparalleled divine skill! Congratulations, Sect Master, for acquiring this Immortal Formation!"

Several Elders, led by the Grand Elder, could no longer contain their excitement and ecstasy; they knelt in unison, prostrating themselves before Su Lin and Mu Qingxue.

"Revered Master," Mu Qingxue stepped forward, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance.

"The grand formation is complete; you must be tired. Let your Disciple help you back to rest."

Before Luo Ximei could speak, she took a step ahead, linking her arm with Su Lin's other arm, asserting her claim.

Luo Ximei merely chuckled, a hint of seductive light flashing in her eyes; she didn't contend, but instead pressed closer from the other side. "Revered Master, Seventh Junior Sister is right. Arranging such a Divine Formation must have consumed a lot of your Divine Soul. Let Junior Sister and I serve you well."

Su Lin was sandwiched between his two disciple, surrounded by warmth and soft jade on both sides. Waves of fragrant scent assailed him, leaving him both helpless and somewhat overwhelmed; he could only nod.

After the three left, the Elders dared to get up from the ground, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, looking at each other. They all saw the lingering shock in each other's eyes.

"The Grand Elder's ability is truly unfathomable!" an Elder whispered. "With just a casual pointer, the foundation of our Qingyao Sect has been elevated by a thousand years out of thin air!"

The Grand Elder took a deep breath, his expression exceedingly solemn: "Pass on my order: From today onwards, the Grand Elder's status within the Sect is supreme. His words are law, his actions are rules! Anyone who dares to show the slightest disrespect, without need for reporting, will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the Sect!"

"We obey your command!"

Back in Qingxue Hall, the atmosphere within the hall remained subtle.

Mu Qingxue and Luo Ximei were on either side, ostensibly serving, but in reality, secretly competing. Even their actions of pouring tea and handing water carried an invisible confrontation.

Su Lin sat on the main seat, oblivious to the two women's small actions; he had other plans in mind.

Completely relying on his disciple' protection was not a long-term solution after all.

"System, open the商城."

With a thought from Su Lin, the blue light screen, visible only to him, unfolded before his eyes again.

A dazzling list of goods appeared, radiating precious light; each item was enough to drive external Cultivators crazy.

Su Lin's gaze skipped over the divine cultivation techniques, Immortal Pills, and Divine Artifacts that required massive amounts of points to redeem, and directly scrolled to the bottom of the list, looking for items suitable for his current Realm.

However, when he saw the cheapest items, his brows couldn't help but furrow tightly.

【Nourishing Divine Golden Core】: For Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators only, used to nourish the Primordial Spirit, price: 500 karma points.

【Red Star Spirit Sword】: Requires Soul Transformation Stage cultivation to activate, price: 1500 karma points.

【Minor Heavenly Circulation Breathing Technique (Soul Transformation Chapter)】: Soul Transformation Stage basic Mind-Cultivation Technique, price: 2000 karma points… The lowest-grade and cheapest Medicinal Pill in the entire商城 actually required Soul Transformation Stage to use!

As for items usable by Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, there wasn't a single one!

"What's going on?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Su Lin's mind, but soon, he understood the key to it.

He guessed that when the System was activated, it probably detected the imprint of his former status as a Grand Ascension Supreme deep within his Divine Soul.

Therefore, the System presumptuously decided that those low-grade Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures for Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stages were useless to him, and directly filtered them out.

Thinking of this, Su Lin couldn't help but feel a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

What he lacked most now were precisely these low-grade resources that the System "disdained."

Just as Su Lin was secretly troubled, Luo Ximei, who was beside him, keenly noticed the fleeting helplessness on his face.

"Revered Master, what are you worried about?"

She asked softly, leaning a little closer to Su Lin, her breath like orchids. "Tell your Disciple, your Disciple will help you share your worries."

Su Lin sighed and didn't hide anything, saying directly: "My cultivation is still shallow, and I lack a handy protective Magical Artifact."

"Oh, Disciple thought it was something major! A mere Magical Artifact, how difficult could that be?"

She gently wiped her jade hand across her Storage Pouch, and a short dagger, entirely black and exuding a chilling cold Qi, appeared in her palm.

"Revered Master, this Shadowfang Dagger was acquired by your Disciple in her early years. It is forged from ten-thousand-year profound iron essence and contains a trace of soul-devouring power, most suitable for Golden Core Stage Cultivators to fight above their Realm. Although its grade is not high, it should be enough for your temporary self-defense."

As she spoke, she respectfully handed the short dagger to Su Lin, her face filled with just the right amount of obedience.

Seeing this, Mu Qingxue gnashed her teeth in anger and let out a cold snort: "A mere High Grade Magical Artifact, and you dare to present it? Revered Master's body is worth a thousand gold; how can he use such a mundane item!"

The moment Luo Ximei handed the short dagger to Su Lin, the System's prompt sounded again in Su Lin's mind!

【Ding! Disciple Luo Ximei has gifted the host, triggering "Karma Feedback"!】

【Feedback reward issued: Divine Grade Sword — dragon soul abyss sword!】

Almost the instant the prompt fell, Su Lin felt a vast and boundless Sword Intent appear out of thin air within his System space!

He took the Shadowfang Dagger from Luo Ximei; it was cool to the touch and indeed a good Magical Artifact.

He looked at Luo Ximei's peach blossom eyes, which were filled with "Praise me," and smiled faintly.

"You have a good heart."
