Chapter 122: Formation Plates

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation| Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Ming felt an excruciating pain in his head, as if a needle had been ruthlessly stabbed into his brain. At the same time, the water-drop sword was suddenly thrown into chaos.

“This is only the lowest-level yin fiend. It only has one ability, and it is this divine sense spike that you are currently experiencing.” The tablet spirit sneered as it said, “Don’t tell me you can’t even handle this.”

Then, another divine sense spike hit Li Ming.

Although his divine sense was massive, he had no idea how to use it. Even with the divine sense he had, if he did not know how to use it, then it was no different from a waste of resources.

When it came to divine sense attacks, divine sense defenses, and so on, he was absolutely clueless.

His brain felt like it had been stabbed twice by a dagger, and he felt sharp, harrowing pain.

The yin fiend’s attack was invisible and untouchable. When his divine sense sensed it, the attack had already arrived. It was almost impossible to dodge it.

As long as the tablet spirit had something to do with it, it’s definitely not something good. Li Ming complained endlessly in his heart.

After the yin fiend was struck by the water-drop sword, it was enraged and instinctively counter-attacked. Apart from the divine sense spike that it repeatedly launched at Li Ming, it also charged at him like a wild beast.

Li Ming felt the temperature around him drop abruptly. The yin qi was so thick that it was almost tangible. It surrounded him as if it wanted to drill into his body through his pores!

Right now, Li Ming felt as if he was being stabbed by thousands of needles. Due to the extreme pain he was in, he could not help but let out a shrill scream.

“You’re so useless. That senior brother of yours could split this thing in half with a single slash.” The tablet spirit sneered.

At this moment, Li Ming did not have the time to bother about the tablet spirit. The water-drop sword returned to his hand. This time, he did not hesitate at all. The spiritual energy in his body surged and he prepared an attack!

However, in the next second, he was scared out of his wits!

The spiritual energy in his body suddenly went on a rampage! The black mist that surrounded him was like a sponge that absorbed all the spiritual energy in his body.

How is this possible?

If this continued, his spiritual energy would be exhausted in barely any time!

“Devouring spiritual energy is something that any demon can do. Oh, this little yin fiend cannot even be considered a fully-fledged demon.” The tablet spirit’s words held a hint of disdain as it spoke to Li Ming.

When Li Ming heard the tablet spirit’s words, his interest was immediately piqued. Devouring spiritual energy! Inexplicably, the [Vajra Seal] appeared in his mind. He could not care about anything else right now and directly activated the [Vajra Seal].

In the black fog, a golden light suddenly shone. Li Ming’s entire body seemed as if it had been plated with a layer of dark gold.

Success!

Li Ming could clearly feel that the speed at which his spiritual energy was flowing out of his body had sharply declined. His dark golden skin was like a barrier that could stop him from losing his spiritual energy.

Without any hesitation, Li Ming wielded the water-drop sword!

Sword qi rose from the ground like a tidal wave and reverberated in the air. It created layers of waves like a tempestuous storm at sea!

At this moment, the cold qi that had been accumulating for a long time surged out like a landslide and swept across everything!

The pressure on Li Ming’s body instantly disappeared. He held the longsword in his hand and was surrounded by a layer of light blue ice crystal fragments.

“It’s been beaten up so badly by you, how can I still eat it?” The tablet spirit said unhappily.

Li Ming was panting and could not be bothered with the tablet spirit. After a while, his breathing calmed down. However, when he thought of the danger he had just been in, he flew into a rage. “Damned humanoid demon! Why didn’t you warn me earlier?”

The tablet spirit acted as if it had done nothing wrong. “I thought that you would know. It’s basic logic.”

Could this idiotic tablet spirit not see the trouble I was in? Li Ming sneered, “I won’t be helping you with this little task of yours any longer! You can do it yourself. ”

The tablet spirit was dumbstruck.

Dumb tablet spirit! I’ll kill you if you dare to play any more tricks on me! Li Ming was furious.

“It’s a misunderstanding!” The tablet spirit followed behind him with a serious expression. “Originally, I wanted to tell you how to deal with yin fiends, but you should know that you have to experience it yourself to gain a deeper understanding.”

Li Ming did not mind the tablet spirit.

The tablet spirit looked at him and said slowly, “Look, with your ability, it really did not take much effort to destroy the newly formed yin fiend, did it? But you really are wasteful, how could you destroy it like that?”

Li Ming did not even look at the tablet spirit as he said, “Why should I not destroy it after it hurt me?”

“Yes, you’re gravely mistaken if you think that way,” the tablet spirit said seriously. “For example, if your master asked you to catch a live demonic beast, what would you do? You are a pill refiner yourself, so you should know that many demonic beast must be kept alive in order for the materials that can be obtained from them to remain effective.

Li Ming ignored him.

“With your cultivation, it’s already very lucky that you were able to kill him.

However, you can’t stay in the Divine Will Sect and the Heavenly Origin

Supercontinent forever, right? After all, you still have a lot of things to do.” Li Ming paused and interrupted him without hesitation. “What do you mean?” “I’m just teaching you some methods to deal with this kind of situation.”

“What methods are you talking about?”

“There are many methods.” The tablet spirit stroked its chin and said, “However, at your current level, it’s best to use formations.”

Formations? Li Ming was stunned, but his interest had been piqued. “Formations, what do you mean formations? Will my enemies always give me time to set up formations?”

A hint of disdain flashed in the tablet spirit’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

“You know very little about formations. I’ve seen powerful cultivators that can often set up a huge formation with just a thought. Their techniques are ever-changing. I once saw a sword cultivator with twelve flying swords set up a powerful sword formation in an instant. It’s extremely impressive.”

“That’s the same as not saying anything.” Li Ming was disappointed. These days, although he had studied formations, he had only just begun to understand them. He still needed a lot of time before he could even begin studying more complicated formations.

“Formation plate?” Li Ming was stunned and revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. “Do you actually know how to make formation plates?”

In the formation jade slips that he had collected, even though there were records of formation plates, there was nothing about how to actually make them.

He originally wanted to find some jade slips that could teach him how to make formation plates in Dongfu, but because of the matter with the black lotus seed, he did not have the time to investigate and had to rush back to the sect.

“I don’t.” The words of the tablet spirit were like a bucket of cold water being poured on Li Ming’s head. The flame of excitement and hope that had been ignited in his heart with great difficulty was instantly extinguished.

He looked at the tablet spirit with displeasure.

The tablet spirit shrugged its shoulders. “I don’t know much about it either, but I do know where to find it.’

“Where?” Li Ming blurted out.

The tablet spirit said leisurely, “I can tell you, but I think we should sign a contract first..
