Chapter 205 Seeking Self-Protection
"Ding Huan, I know you must have some opinions about the way the sect master dealt with Dong Lishang and Gong Hua.

The sect master is helpless. We must fight with the Jiuyin Sect. Dong Lishang and Gong Hua are the two strongest True Dan elders in our sect."

Liu Yinzhu accompanied Ding Huan out, her tone filled with some guilt.

She knew Ding Huan's character well. After being confronted so harshly, the sect leader only made him drink three cups of wine as a punishment even though he was in the right.

It would be strange if Ding Huan was satisfied with such punishment.

Ding Huan said indifferently:
"How can I, an outsider, be dissatisfied with the way the Sect Master handles the affairs of the Sect? I still need Sister Yinzhu's help."

Liu Yinzhu naturally didn't believe what Ding Huan said. If Qingyu plotted against Ding Huan, Ding Huan would plot back if there was even the slightest chance. How could she not care?

Now that Ding Huan said so, she could only follow Ding Huan's words:

"Why are you being so polite to me? Just say it."

Ding Huan raised the guest elder jade token in his hand:
"Sister Yinzhu, I have 100,000 contribution points here. I want to exchange them for something. Can you take me there?"

Ding Huan refused the identity of the clan leader's successor, but he had to have an identity to obtain the contribution points jade card. In the end, he could only get the jade card as a guest elder.

Liu Yinzhu naturally would not refuse such a small matter.

There are abundant resources around Zixia Valley, so even though Zixia Valley’s strength is not that great, there are still many good things in the sect’s warehouse.

Ding Huan followed Liu Yinzhu to the resource exchange hall and was shocked by the various materials. Why were there so many?
One Huanyuan Stone is worth 5 contribution points, one Zhenjin is worth 10 contribution points, and one piece of 100,000-year-old Iron Tree Root is worth 50 contribution points...

"Give me one hundred purple thunder crystals, one thousand Huanyuan stones... I want five hundred Di Tie as well.

I need twenty pairs of level 2 double-horned leopard horns. Do you have Huang Yuan Geng Jin as well? I’ll give you ten..."

Seeing that Ding Huan was not picky about food and wanted everything, even Liu Yinzhu was shocked, let alone the deacon in charge of the exchange.

It was not until she saw Ding Huan exchanged almost all of his 100,000 contribution points, using all kinds of materials, that she thought to herself, does Ding Huan want to leave?

"Ding Huan, what are you exchanging so many materials for?"

Liu Yinzhu didn't understand what Ding Huan meant at all. The materials Ding Huan exchanged ranged from level one to level four.

If level five materials were not rare and expensive, she suspected that Ding Huan would want to exchange even level five materials.

Ding Huan said awkwardly: "I haven't made much progress in my cultivation, so I want to learn how to refine weapons."

Ding Huan didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about exchanging 100,000 contribution points.

This was the thing he got in exchange for saving Gu Mo's life, and it belonged to him.

Liu Yinzhu knew that Ding Huan was a first-level formation master, and now Ding Huan had to learn how to refine weapons. She covered her forehead speechlessly.

Fortunately, Ding Huan did not exchange the elixir to make the pill, otherwise, she would probably immediately persuade Ding Huan not to do useless work.

It can be seen from the fact that Ding Huan exchanged all his contribution points that Ding Huan did not plan to live in Zixia Valley for a long time.

She was right about Ding Huan. After the sect leader punished him with three cups of wine, Ding Huan was very disappointed with the sect leader.

……

"Brother Huan, someone attacked our defense formation today. And why did Elder Jia call you over?"

As soon as Ding Huan returned to Chaoxia Peak, Yan Mei came over eagerly to ask.

"Someone in Zixia Valley wants to kill me. You must work hard to improve your strength. We may leave here at any time." Ding Huan expressed his judgment.

"Ah..." Yan Mei was a little panicked. If someone in the sect wanted to kill them, would that mean they could not leave the sect?

"Don't worry. The people who wanted to kill me have been put in solitary confinement. Although they may come out at any time, they will be kept in solitary confinement for at least a year just to keep things simple."

Ding Huan knew that Yan Mei was a little frightened.

Yan Mei quickly said, "Then can we leave now?"

Ding Huan shook his head:

"Leaving now would be courting death. Just work hard at your training and don't worry about anything else."

Gong Hua and Dong Lishang have so many accomplices, and they are now 100% targeting him. If he dares to leave Zixia Valley now, he will be besieged by the Zhendan elders in the next moment.

It is safe to stay at Chaoxia Peak for at least a year.

It's hard to say what will happen after a year. In Ding Huan's opinion, it is impossible for either Dong Lishang or Gong Hua to be imprisoned in Canyuan Cliff for three years.

Even if they are nominally confined for three years, they have the opportunity to come out at any time.

As long as they can come out, Gong Hua will definitely go to Chaoxia Peak and kill him as soon as possible.

With Gu Mo's character, if Ding Huan was killed, the most he would do was to make Gong Hua drink a glass of wine and give Gong Hua some food.

"Brother Huan, I'm going to practice quickly." Yan Mei didn't dare to delay at all and hurried into seclusion.

Seeing Yan Mei go to practice, Lao Liu also became a little anxious. It couldn't build a foundation and was just waiting here.
"Brother Huan, what should I do?" Lao Liu scratched his head anxiously.

In West Wind City, it was showing off its might and forgot about everything else. Now that it has no chance to show off its might, it can only think about building its foundation.

Ding Huan patted Lao Liu's head:
"You continue to seek opportunities to build your foundation. Don't be afraid of failure. When my cultivation level reaches a higher level, I will help you solve this problem."

The reason why Lao Liu can’t build a foundation is not a problem of ability, but a problem of qualifications.

"Yes, Brother Huan." Lao Liu became happy.

In its perception, Ding Huan's ability is average, but he still has a lot of ideas.

Otherwise, how could it, as one of the four wise and powerful Chaos Monkeys, be Ding Huan's pet?
After Lao Liu and Yan Mei went into seclusion, Ding Huan began to study the formation.

Ding Huan had already reached the level of a second-level formation master. The reason why he was unable to set up a second-level formation was because he did not have the magic weapon formation flag.

Now that he had refined his own magic weapon formation flag, Ding Huan easily set up the second-level formation.

After becoming a second-level formation master, Ding Huan did not modify the protective formation outside Chaoxia Peak, but only arranged a trigger formation on the edge of the protective formation.

As long as someone enters Chaoxia Peak, he will definitely notice it.

After doing all this, Ding Huan continued to set up the second-level trapping array, hidden killing array, and defense array outside his cave.

After completing the arrangement of this formation in a few days, Ding Huan continued to learn how to refine weapons.

Ding Huan's aptitude was average, but he had too much knowledge about pills, weapons, talismans, and formations in his mind. With Ding Huan's crazy research, he quickly connected all this knowledge of refining weapons.

Two months later, Ding Huan was able to refine a third-level intermediate-grade magical weapon.

Being able to refine a third-level mid-grade magic weapon is enough for Ding Huan.

He continued to study the formation.

It is absolutely impossible for him to break through the Nebula Realm in a short period of time. If he wants to save his life, he can only rely on the formation.

Gu Mo's way of handling things is to indulge Gong Hua and Dong Lishang.

The reason why Gong Hua and Dong Lishang are so confident, besides the problem of the sect leader Gu Mo, is also because they have an elder He who is at the peak of Yuanhun behind them.

After the fifth month, Ding Huan could easily set up a third-level formation, and he had even refined a bunch of third-level formation plates.

Ding Huan really wanted to continue learning how to arrange a fourth-level formation, but he knew very well that it would be impossible for him to arrange a fourth-level formation in the short term.

Unless he can break through the Nebula Realm, or study the art of formations for another ten years or more.

After replacing all the protective formations in his residence and locking it with a concealment formation, Ding Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, even if Gong Hua or Dong Lishang came to him, he would not be afraid.

During this period, Gu Mo was very busy trying to regain Ziyuan Chongshan, which belonged to Zixia Valley, and had no time to look for him.

Liu Yinzhu is Gu Mo's right-hand man, so naturally she is very busy.

Ding Huan decided to take this opportunity to practice for a while.

Chaoxia Peak has such good conditions, but he has spent half a year refining equipment and setting up formations. It is really a waste.

As soon as Ding Huan started practicing, Yan Mei and Lao Liu noticed it.

The thick spiritual energy of heaven and earth was swept over by Ding Huan, and in a short time it once again enveloped Chaoxia Peak.

Fortunately, there is a hidden protective formation here, so outsiders cannot see the spiritual energy here.

Once again feeling his cultivation level rising rapidly, Ding Huan thought to himself, so what if his aptitude is poor? He has top-level skills.

Besides, he has genetic spiritual roots, and genetic spiritual roots can’t be said to be poor aptitude, right?

Such rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth was swept over, and Ding Huan was 100% sure that there was a spiritual vein beneath Chaoxia Peak.

As for what grade of spiritual vein it was, he didn't know, and he didn't need to know.

In less than ten days, Ding Huan's fourth nebula condensed and took shape, followed by the emergence of the prototype of the fifth nebula.

A few more months passed, and Ding Huan had condensed the tenth nebula.

This made Ding Huan a little nervous, as if as long as he continued to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, he would be able to continuously condense new nebulae in his dantian.

According to the extreme number nine, he should seek to impact the next realm after condensing nine nebulae.

But Ding Huan quickly calmed down.

For ordinary cultivators, foundation building is the late stage of refining essence into qi, while the true elixir state is the beginning of refining qi into spirit.

From foundation building to true elixir, even the most talented cultivator would need about ten years, right?

If we remove the time spent practicing the Luoshijing on Earth.

How long has he been practicing now? It's only been a little over a year, how could he break through the Nebula Realm to the next level so quickly?

Let’s continue to condense the nebula.

As time passed, when Ding Huan condensed twelve nebulae, he felt that he seemed unable to condense the thirteenth nebula.

Could it be that twelve is the maximum number for the nebula stage of the great cosmic arts?
If this is true, then he will have to continue to deduce the skills after the nebula.

If I count, I have been here for more than a year.

But why hasn't the palace transformation come yet? Did he make a wrong judgment?

While Ding Huan was still thinking, he felt that the protective formation of Chaoxia Peak was triggered.

somebody is coming.

Soon, Ding Huan saw Liu Yinzhu rushing up anxiously with his spiritual sense.

"Ding Huan!" Liu Yinzhu and Ding Huan were old friends, so there was no need to notify Ding Huan before coming here.

When Ding Huan came out, Liu Yinzhu looked a little haggard, and her cultivation had not improved much.

This made Ding Huan feel very emotional. These sect affairs should be handed over to the elders who stood up to support Gong Hua in the first place.

Gu Mo put all the sect affairs on Liu Yinzhu, and Ding Huan was speechless.

Now is the best time for Liu Yinzhu to improve her cultivation. It would be too much if she didn't practice in seclusion and run around for trivial matters every day.

If you, Gu Mo, want to find someone to do something, do you need Liu Yinzhu to go there in person?

"Sister Yinzhu, please come in and sit down." Ding Huan invited Liu Yinzhu into the reception room and sat down.

Liu Yinzhu saw that Ding Huan's cultivation didn't seem to have improved much, and she was not sure.

After all, she didn't see when Ding Huan was building his foundation. It seemed that the higher Ding Huan's cultivation level was, the less visible it was on the surface.

"Ding Huan, I'm here today to tell you that you need to be careful. I think Dong Lishang and Gong Hua will be out soon."

Liu Yinzhu was also helpless.

The sect leader wanted to rely on the strength of these two elders, so she couldn't say anything, after all, her strength was not strong.

To her surprise, Ding Huan was not surprised at all after hearing her words. Instead, he said:

"Are we going to go to war with the Jiuyin Sect?"
