196: Chapter 196 Bad Luck?

Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation

The Wordless Heavenly Book turned a page.

A glimpse revealed the incomplete Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation appearing within the book.

"Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation (Incomplete) · Level 8"

The Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation was a Level 8 Formation, but it was an incomplete version. If the missing parts could not be restored, this Formation could not be set up.

For anyone else, there might be no solution, but Lin Ming was different.

"Perfecting the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation (Incomplete) · Level 8 requires 80,000 origin spirit."

"Would you like to perfect it?"

Since Lin Ming had put this Formation into the Wordless Heavenly Book, he certainly intended to perfect it.

As the 80,000 origin spirit were deducted, the missing parts of the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation—which were also its most important parts—were perfected one by one, and their knowledge appeared within the Wordless Heavenly Book.

At the same time, it flew out of the Wordless Heavenly Book and into Lin Ming's mind, engraving itself there.

Dao of Yin and Yang

This Formation contained the Dao of Yin and Yang, allowing Lin Ming to gain some insight into it.

It was only a superficial understanding, however.

After all, Lin Ming's current Cultivate had not yet touched upon the Dao of Yin and Yang.

"The Level 8 Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation can be upgraded to Level 9, requiring 200,000 origin spirit."

"Would you like to upgrade?"

"Yes."

200,000 origin spirit were directly deducted, and the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation was upgraded from Level 8 to Level 9.

"The Level 9 Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation can be upgraded to Saint Level 1, requiring 500,000 origin spirit."

"Would you like to upgrade?"

"Yes."

500,000 origin spirit were deducted, and the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation was upgraded to a Saint Level 1 Formation.

As a Saint Level Formation Master, Lin Ming instantly mastered this Formation, and his understanding of the Dao of Yin and Yang became much deeper.

"Materials are a bit troublesome."

Lin Ming muttered.

As a Formation capable of both offense and defense, and being a Saint Level 1 Formation, the Materials required to set it up were extremely precious and rare.

Furthermore, the Qingxuan Realm might not necessarily be able to gather all these Materials.

But Lin Ming still wanted to set up this Formation; he could at least give it a try.

If there was truly no way to set it up at the Saint Level, he could settle for the next best thing: Level 9 would also suffice.

As for the location, it would be Yuanxu Mountain.

The Sect protecting Formation of Yuanxu Mountain was a High Grade Level 7 Formation, and the highest level of Formation Master at Yuanxu Mountain was Level 7.

But now there was an additional Level 9 Formation, and its creator was naturally Lin Ming.

Lin Ming had set up a Level 9 Formation within this Level 7 Formation; when the Level 7 Formation was broken, that would be the moment the Level 9 Formation appeared.

This Level 9 Formation was usually in a hidden state, and basically no one could discover it; besides Lin Ming, no one knew of its existence.

Now, the appearance of the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation made Lin Ming want to set it up on Yuanxu Mountain; this Formation was truly not simple.

The premise was that Lin Ming could collect the Materials for this Saint Level 1 Formation.

Otherwise, everything was just empty talk.

Lin Ming's attention returned to the Cultivate room; he stood up, walked out, and arrived at the Spiritual Plant garden.

After plucking a few Spiritual Plants, he headed toward the Alchemy room.

Alchemy, making money.

Although it was difficult for his current Realm to advance further, making money was different; earning spirit stones was not a difficult task for Lin Ming.

Moreover, his current goal was to earn spirit stones, to continuously earn spirit stones.

...

"Attacked by someone?"

Lin Ming said in surprise.

He looked at Su Lianxue and learned from her that she had suffered two attacks while performing missions.

The attackers were all killed by her, or rather, before Su Lianxue could kill them, they had all committed suicide.

Feeling that something was suspicious, Su Lianxue had thrown the matter and the corpses of the attackers to the Sect.

"Do you know who did it?"

Lin Ming asked curiously.

He was actually a bit curious about what kind of person or force would make a move against Su Lianxue.

Were they tired of living?

"The Sect told me it was the Shadow Kill Sect."

Su Lianxue said coldly.

"Shadow Kill Sect, then Junior Sister, you are indeed a bit unlucky."

Lin Ming said.

The Shadow Kill Sect could be called a killer Sect, or it could be called a killer organization.

It was a Sect that trained killers, and at the same time, it was a platform for killers; anyone could register as a killer in the Shadow Kill Sect and accept relevant missions.

Normally, a killer organization like the Shadow Kill Sect would not be tolerated by other forces, but the Shadow Kill Sect managed to survive to this day due to its own mystery and powerful strength.

There was once a large Sect that had two practitioners of the Other Shore Realm guarding it; people from the Shadow Kill Sect assassinated a descendant of one of those Other Shore Realm practitioners, which enraged that practitioner, who then wanted to destroy the Shadow Kill Pavilion.

As a result, not a few days later, the corpse of that Other Shore Realm practitioner appeared in front of that Sect's gate.

Since then, that Sect didn't dare to say a word.

Several Sects had also wanted to join forces to cause trouble for the Shadow Kill Pavilion, but they couldn't even find a shadow, and instead, many of their own people were killed, so the matter ended there.

As for the Shadow Kill Sect, there was no one they dared not kill; as long as you could afford the money, from the Nirvana Ancestor down to the ordinary Mortal, they could kill them all.

It was also said that the Shadow Kill Sect really had killers who had assassinated Nirvana-level practitioners, though whether they succeeded or not was unknown.

Various Sects and forces all had people who died at the hands of the Shadow Kill Sect's killers, and some people might even be killers of the Shadow Kill Sect themselves.

Su Lianxue being targeted by the Shadow Kill Sect meant that someone had released a bounty mission within the Shadow Kill Sect, putting a bounty on Su Lianxue's head.

That was why Lin Ming said Su Lianxue was unlucky.

"Senior Brother, it's not just me who is unlucky, but you too."

Su Lianxue looked at Lin Ming and said.

Su Lianxue thought about it; since she came to the Lower Realm, she didn't have many enemies, and even if she did, she had already dealt with them.

The only possibility was the talent she had displayed, as well as her identity as Master Yun Hua.

In that case, her Senior Brother might also be on the assassination list; after all, her Senior Brother was now a Sect Prodigy, an existence invincible in the Spirit Platform Realm within the Sect.

"Then let them come; I will wait for them on Zichen Peak."

Lin Ming said righteously.

Killers from the Shadow Kill Sect?

It's fine, let them come; it would be best if they came to Zichen Peak to find him.

He would let them know what it meant to go and never return.

He wouldn't even need to do it himself; someone would send them on their way.

Su Lianxue was still a bit speechless at Lin Ming's attitude.

Unlucky?

She was only saying it with her mouth.

Moreover, the word "unlucky" wasn't actually directed at Lin Ming; given Lin Ming's strength, the unlucky ones should be those killers.

If there really were killers targeting Lin Ming, then Su Lianxue could only wish them good luck.

"Junior Sister, it's just killers, right? Don't worry, you will definitely be fine."

Lin Ming said.

Who said Su Lianxue was only at the second level of the Sea Opening Realm?

Wait?

Second level of the Sea Opening Realm.

It had only been a few days, and his Junior Sister had broken through another small Realm.

This Cultivate speed was a bit fast.

However, thinking back to the commotion Su Lianxue had caused the other day, it didn't seem strange anymore.
