Mortal Mage

The west gate of Taihe City.

The city walls are majestic, towering and majestic.

It makes people eager to fight, but also uneasy.

"Spread out, spread out."

Zhang Mingxuan walked in front of the city gate, pointing at the hundreds of Feather Guards following behind him and telling them to disperse.

"Spread out more, I need a bigger space." He took off his heavy dragon robe, unrolled his sleeves, and then randomly pointed at a feather guard flag; "Brother, go help me, help me! Get some wood ash, go quickly."

Xiaoqi looked surprised, then ran away hurriedly.

"Everyone, stay away, or you'll get burned."

Zhang Mingxuan raised his hand with a serious expression and pointed at everyone and continued to give orders.

The Feather Guards looked bewildered and retreated in small numbers.

"His Majesty."

Xiao Feizi led Qi Yuanqinghe behind him, and the two of them walked in front of Zhang Mingxuan and were about to kneel down.

"No thanks, old man. Can you draw out the spiritual power from the spirit stone and attach it to the ground?"

Zhang Mingxuan walked up to a soldier, pulled out the soldier's sword, and then wrote and drew on the snow with the sword in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Qi Yuanqinghe hunched his back and glanced at the Feather Guards with a hesitant look on his face.

"These people don't know that there are cultivators in the palace. You don't have to worry about them. From now on, there is no need to keep the cultivation of immortals secret. Let's talk openly."

"Wow..."

The Feather Guards standing nearby suddenly knelt down in unison.

"What is this? Are they going to lift the ban that has lasted for more than a hundred years?"

"I don't know. The new emperor has an unusual style and never shy away from talking about cultivating immortals."

"Then can you and I also cultivate immortality in the future?"

"Without the spiritual veins, there's no point in cultivating immortality. Even if you can cultivate immortality, it won't be your turn to be the dog in the palace."

"Silence! Silence!"

A centurion shouted loudly, then took two or three steps to Zhang Mingxuan and asked, "Is what your majesty just said an imperial decree?"

"The matter of cultivating immortals has been leaked everywhere. There is no need to do this work anymore." Zhang Mingxuan announced loudly, and then ignored the shocked crowd and continued to draw in the snow with a knife in hand.

Soon, crisscrossing grooves were carved into the snow.

"Here, old man."

He fished out a handful of spirit stones from his bosom and slapped them into Qi Yuanqinghe's hands, saying, "Use the spiritual power in your body to channel the spiritual power in the spirit stones into the gullies in the snow."

Then he grabbed a handful of wood ash that he had just placed beside him and continued to instruct, "I used wood ash to draw this, so you need to use three times the spiritual power."

Qi Yuanqinghe looked confused and uncertain, and was forced to take the spirit stone. "I am not even at the first level of Qi Refining, and I am no different from an ordinary person. This seems to be a formation structure, which seems to be profound and unfathomable. It is difficult for me to set up this formation..."

"Just pour the spiritual energy along the lines. You don't need that thing you mentioned, the mind, yes, the mind control, you don't need that, just pour it in."

"Isn't this just a fantasy..."

Qi Yuanqinghe refused, "I'm afraid I can't do anything."

"Hurry up, Tianze's army will arrive at the city in seven days." Zhang Mingxuan urged.

Qi Yuanqinghe looked at the gullies in the snow, thought for a long time before nodding, then held the spirit stone in one hand and made finger gestures with the other.

Wisps of green mist floated out from the spirit stone and followed Qi Yuanqinghe's fingers, slowly attaching to the knife marks and grooves on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Wang Wan'er is here at the palace."

Xiao Feizi reported softly.

Zhang Mingxuan patted the ash in his hand, looked around at the texture of the snow, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he waved to Wang Wan'er.

Wang Wan'er forced a stiff smile on her face and walked up to Zhang Mingxuan.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

She looked puzzled as she looked around at the vast expanse of sword and knife trenches.

"Set up the formation! Miss Wang, please help Qi Yuanqinghe to channel the spiritual power in the spiritual stone into the ravine."

Zhang Mingxuan grabbed a handful of spirit stones and handed them to Wang Wan'er.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to set up a formation." Wang Wan'er looked gloomy and did not take the spirit stone with her hands.

"It's okay, you just have to do what I say."

Zhang Mingxuan took Wang Wan'er's hand and then slapped the spirit stone into her hand.

Wang Wan'er's hand was lifted by Zhang Mingxuan. She wanted to pull it back to refuse, but a group of soldiers surrounded her and her face turned red in an instant.

She knew Zhang Mingxuan's background very well, and it was impossible for a mortal to kill Li Si.

If she wanted to kill Zhang Mingxuan, it would happen in the blink of an eye.

"let me try."

Wang Wan'er responded with a blushing face.

Zhang Mingxuan didn't understand.
