In fact, Li Ting had already seen a breakthrough in Yan Jie's cultivation. Although he was not clear about the specific reasons, he could understand with a brief guess that Yan Jie's promotion to the eighth level of Qi Refining should be related to the battle in Linshan City.

Li Ting knew in his heart that Yan Jie was no longer the same as before. Although his cultivation level was still two levels away from him, judging from Yan Jie's usual performance, I am afraid that his real combat power at this time was far better than that at this time.

However, what really surprised Li Ting was that Yan Jie not only had his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, but his formation attainment also seemed to have greatly improved. Although he was not clear about the situation of the fighting formation outside the Chu Yue City, Yan Jie was able to compete with Chen Mi and Lin Xu with his qi cultivation, which itself was enough to illustrate the problem.

Although Li Ting did not know much about the formation method, he did not understand when Yan Jie explained the principle of Trojan horse, but this did not prevent him from realizing that Yan Jie's formation level was improving.

In Xishan Village, Yan Jie set up a five-element magic circle and needed Fairy Miaoyin to guide him to learn the art of five-element attack, so that he could compete with the five-element zombies of the corpse ghost.

Now, his formation has been able to compete with Lin Xu, not only successfully preventing Lin Xu's plan, but also joined forces with Senior Chen Mi to completely defeat Lin Xu.

However, Yan Jie's situation is very different from the progress of ordinary monks in cultivation. He always breaks through his cultivation at critical moments, which is a breakthrough in actual combat, and is very different from the popular genius monks in the cultivation world.

You should know that there have always been many geniuses in the cultivation world. At any time, there will be amazing people who will appear to challenge the nerves of ordinary people. However, the cultivation level of these people is supported by talent and spiritual roots and cannot continue to grow. Once their cultivation reaches a certain limit, they will enter a bottleneck, no different from cultivators of the same level. Sometimes, these genius cultivators will not have the ability to be inferior to cultivators of the same level because their breakthrough is too fast.

However, Yan Jie's situation is very different from these monks. Because Yan Jie's strength is not based on his talent, but on the knowledge of formations and the increasingly flexible way of using it in his mind.

This accumulation is different from those talented monks, and it is accumulated over time. This means that the longer Yan Jie practices, the richer the knowledge of formations in his mind, and the more skillful the understanding and application of formation methods will be. In this way, there is no limit on his strength improvement.

Even if Yan Jie's cultivation level stops moving forward, his formation ability will continue to be improved, which is the most precious thing for a formation master.

Li Ting secretly speculated that perhaps Senior Chen Mi was attracted by this point of Yan Jie, so he recommended him to go to Tianji Academy to study. There, Yan Jie's talent would be truly exaggerated without being limited by lack of cultivation.

Yan Jie described in detail how he used the Trojan horse to defeat Lin Xu's method of breaking the formation with a formation.

Finally, he sighed and said, "In fact, although this Trojan method and Lin Xu's "breaking the formation with a formation" seem to be two different ways, from the underlying logic, the principles of the two are the same. The reason why I was able to succeed this time was mainly because I took advantage of the sneak attack. If the two sides had a clear sword and a spear, I would never be Lin Xu's opponent..."

"Yan Jie, now is not the time to be humble. Senior Chen Mi only recognizes the result but not the process. You have made great contributions this time. If you are so humble, how can you let us live?"

Zhang Shijie interrupted Yan Jie with disdain and then asked: "I heard that a month ago, the Demon Lord sent a Jindan monk to attack Linshan City, but not only did he find nothing, but it seemed that even the Jindan monk had something to do with it. You were in Linshan City at that time. I think this matter is afraid that it is inseparable from you, right?"

Yan Jie sighed and was about to answer. But at this moment, Qian Jue suddenly spoke, "Yan Jie, the matter in Linshan City involves the privacy of this princess, and you are not allowed to reveal it. Even if Chen Mi asks about it personally, you are not allowed to say it!"

"Privacy?" Yan Jie was stunned for a moment, not understanding where Qian Jue started. At the beginning, she only played the role of a fake censor in Linshan City, which was not a big deal at all. What's more, now the matter in Linshan City has ended, who cares about these things?

Yan Jie was hesitating, but he saw Qian Jue winking at him, and he suddenly woke up.

The matter in Linshan City is indeed not that simple. Not to mention anything else, the appearance of a rifle may cause a stir in the cultivation world, so it is better to keep this matter as a secret.

Yan Jie understood and sighed and said, "The guard battle in Linshan City is indeed a bit of privacy that should not be disclosed. Shijie, I can't say much!"

Zhang Shijie was just asking, but he didn't expect that this matter would involve the princess' privacy. What Qian Jue said made him think a lot. When he looked at Yan Jie again, a hint of despicableness suddenly appeared on his face.

On the contrary, Liu Yutong, who was sitting opposite Zhang Shijie, became interested for a moment and kept looking at Yan Jie, which made Yan Jie feel uncomfortable.

Li Ting sighed and said, "Since it involves the princess' privacy, Yan Jie, don't say it again. In fact, when I came, Senior Chen Mi had already told me not to ask you the bottom line. Who does not have the ability to keep the box? No one wants others to know about this kind of ability to keep the box. This is also a natural human nature. Since you are in a difficult position, you don't want to say it."

Yan Jie nodded, felt relieved, and said, "Then I won't say it."

Seeing that Li Ting and Zhang Shijie didn't ask questions, Liu Yutong was curious and had no choice but to give up...

Yan Jie breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Li Ting and asked, "What's the situation in Chuyue City now? Is there any place that needs my help?"

When the situation in Chuyue City was mentioned, the people in the hall became solemn.

Obviously, the situation in the city is not optimistic.

Apart from the killed black owl and corpse ghosts, the Demon Lord also has two golden elixir monks in his hands.

Lin Xu alone is enough for them to have a headache, but until now, the Demon Lord has not shown up.

Most people in the city already understand that once the Demon Lord takes action personally, Chu Yue City will undoubtedly be destroyed.

Yan Jie also knew this in his heart.

In fact, when he saw the formation that Chen Mi had arranged, he had an unknown premonition.

From a common sense, although Shenmi's formations are extremely complex, the large array sets and small arrays are both independent and cooperative, and they are extremely powerful. Ordinary golden elixir monks cannot break through the defense of the formation.

However, the more the number of formations, the more flaws there will be. Yan Jie practiced the "Qing Emperor Qi-seeing Technique", and just need to take a closer look, you will know that it is unlikely to use this formation to block the Demon Lord.
