Creation: Make figures and become a top boss

"Didn't Xiang Tian tell you what he wanted to do with all the Silver Thread Grass?" Jin Yan hoped to get more information from Han Caiyue.

Han Caiyue shook his head: "Senior Brother Xiangtian didn't tell us this, he just ordered us to collect it."

Han Caiyue told the truth, so there was no need to give reasons when Xiang Tian ordered them to do things. Unlike those who were higher up in the rankings and attracted by him, those who were favored by heaven had the same status as his retainers.

Jin Yan also realized this when she heard his answer, and couldn't help but frown slightly. If this is the case in the regulated Disciple Peak, it is no wonder that Longyin Peak does not let go of the supply of elixirs, otherwise the monks under the mountain will become pawns of the powerful families.

Since the question couldn't yield any results, Jin Yan no longer dwelled on it.

He recalled the potato that had introduced the one-horned iron rhinoceros deep into the valley, asked Han Caiyue about the iron rhino's habitat, and prepared to harvest the silver-threaded grass first.

Comparing the directions explained by Han Caiyue with those given by Master Yan, Jin Yan found that they were located along the same water vein, with one in the middle and one a little further upstream. Maybe it was the silver thread grass associated with the same cold iron vein.

Although her life was not in danger, Jin Yan was still very happy to stay away from the elder who frowned even when her master was mentioned.

Under the guidance of Tudou, there were no other setbacks along the way, and we arrived at Tiexi's lair smoothly and saw the Silver Thread Grass.

Silver thread grass is easy to identify because it uses metal as nutrients and has a metallic main vein on its branches and leaves. Although it is called silver thread, it is not necessarily silver, but depends on the color of its associated metallic minerals.

However, the silver-threaded grass here in the iron rhino's lair is worthy of its name, and the metal threads on the leaf veins glow with a silvery white luster.

Millennium Cold Iron seems to be a bit grayer in color? Could it be that the metal mine below is not Millennium Cold Iron? Jin Yan started digging into the roots of the silver thread grass while observing and thinking.

The soil near the silver-threaded grass is usually slightly metalized, but this hardness does not bother Jin Yan. Spiritual power condenses from her fingertips, and she digs out a silver-threaded grass by its roots like cutting tofu.

Jin Yan shook off the sand and was about to put the Silver Thread Grass into the medicine bag given by her master, when she felt a slight fluctuation in the formation not far away, and then there was the familiar sound of iron hooves hitting the ground and branches and leaves breaking.

Is it the one-horned iron rhinoceros just now? The iron rhinoceros used low bushes as its nest, and there were no tall trees nearby to hide from. Jinyan quickly asked Tudou to take her out of the way and hid in the crown of the tree a little further away.

Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, Jin Yan vaguely saw the one-horned iron rhinoceros sprinting to the nest. After checking around for several times, she made sure that there was no trace of the enemy before slowly walking towards the water source.

After Tie Xi's figure disappeared from sight, Jin Yan got down from the tree and returned to the nest to observe carefully.

The iron rhinoceros's lair was very simple. It was said to be a lair but it didn't have any decent resting place. It just chose a bush and stepped onto a piece of flat land in the middle.

Silver thread grass grew on the outside of the bushes, distributed in a circle. Jin Yan had not noticed it before, but now she felt something was wrong.

It stands to reason that silver thread grass is associated with the mineral veins and should be scattered in a strip shape. But now it looks like artificial planting?

Thinking of the formation fluctuations before the Iron Rhinoceros appeared, it is very likely that someone had a one-horned Iron Rhinoceros as a guard to protect these silver-threaded grasses from being harvested. Once someone collects the medicine, the teleportation array will be triggered, and the iron rhinoceros will be teleported here to drive away the medicine collector.

Although Tiexi is not very aggressive, it is still very threatening to the disciples who have just started. If a disciple who has not yet enlightened encounters him, he will definitely die.

Thinking of this, Jin Yan became dissatisfied with the person who set up the formation.

If you don't like people illegally harvesting it, there should at least be a warning. Now it's impossible to tell that it was planted by anyone. It doesn't make sense to risk your life if you accidentally enter it.

After being torn between setting up a warning sign and cracking the formation, Jin Yan decided to study this triggering formation to see if it could be cracked.

At this time, what the disciples were taught and what she and others were studying were the skill-based formations used by puppets. Jin Yan had not seen this direct use of formations, so she couldn't help but be a little curious.

There was nothing unusual on the ground, so Jin Yan used her spiritual power to cover the area where the Silver Thread Grass grew, and then slowly descended to explore. As expected, she sensed the traces of the formation without going too far down.

This array is quite cleverly set up. It is formed by the arrangement of trace metals in the soil near the silver-threaded grass. The ring-shaped long snake array is connected from end to end, with trigger rules engraved inside: whenever the silver-threaded grass is sensed leaving the soil, it will be activated. The puppet's default skills are "teleport" and "sprint".

So that one-horned iron rhinoceros is a puppet? Jin Yan's inner dissatisfaction dissipated somewhat.

Since it is a puppet, you can give it instructions not to hurt people's lives. Naturally, it will only have the effect of driving away without accidentally hurting people's lives.

However, thinking of Han Caiyue's embarrassment as he ran for his life just now, and in order to collect a few more silver thread grasses, Jin Yan still erased the skill names of "Teleport" and "Sprint" on the formation.

To be sure, Jin Yan continued to explore downwards to prevent any formation traps.

Unexpectedly, the formation failed to detect it, but it found the Millennium Cold Iron Mine.

Silver-gray metal particles are embedded in the rock layer, and the coldness that even the spiritual force can feel pain shows its identity.

Jin Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly used her spiritual power to separate them from the rocks one by one and put them into the spirit bead space.

Jin Yan was concentrating on collecting the ore and did not notice a short figure approaching her. Tudou beside her did not make a mistake. As soon as the figure approached the warning range, Tudou rushed forward in a flash.

"Huh?" I don't know whether it was Tudou's flashing method or reaction speed that surprised the little man. He was seen moving around, obviously still having the energy to deal with Tudou, but he did not attack.

Jin Yan also received Tudou's warning at this time. It happened that the cold iron within the range of spiritual power was almost collected, so she turned around and looked around.

The one who was dealing with Tudou was an eight or nine-year-old child, but he was wearing the clothes of an elder and looked quite mature.

Is it possible to rejuvenate one's youth if one's cultivation level is high? Jin Yan was secretly confused and quickly asked Tudou to stop attacking and take precautions.

"Jin Yan, the disciple of Elder Yanxiang Mu, has met the Supreme Elder." Jin Yan saluted the child.

The people living in seclusion in the Valley of the Elders are all Supreme Elders, so I am sure that I will not call them wrong.

"Oh~ He's the disciple of the little crybaby princess." The child spoke in an old man's voice, "What are you doing here to steal my Silver Thread Grass? Your master is so poor that he can't even give me the formation potion. is you?"

The child's words confirmed his identity as the supreme elder, but Jin Yan had never heard of the formation potion, and it was not easy to explain it casually, so she said truthfully: "The disciple picked the silver thread grass to refine the Er Dan. I don't know where it is. It belongs to the Supreme Elder, I hope you can forgive me."

"I don't know?" The Supreme Elder smiled scornfully, "I wonder what you were doing squatting there and using your spiritual power just now?" Then he walked towards Jin Yan.

Jin Yan blushed at the rebuke from the Supreme Elder. She really didn't know it at first, but later she found out and learned a lot. She had nothing to defend herself from.

"This disciple was greedy for a moment and is willing to be punished by the elders." Jin Yan lowered her head and saluted the Supreme Elder.

The Supreme Elder ignored her, and just used his spiritual power to explore the formation at the Silver Thread Grass. Upon probing, he let out another surprised exclamation: "Huh?"
