Each pen formed by condensed starlight is emitting a faint light.

As Xiao Zining's hand floated slowly, the pens condensed by starlight seemed to be carving and refining as if someone was holding them.

The spiritual power turns into a ball of light, wrapping each formation stone inside. It uses spiritual power to continuously nourish the formation stones. At the same time, it condenses onto the engraving pens at an extremely fast speed, and is then engraved into the formation.

Among the Dharma Stones.

On the formation stone, star symbols are beating, like happy fish jumping out of the water to play in the fish pond.

Ten minutes later.

Twenty formation stones emitting a faint light are now refined.

There was nothing strange about Xiao Zining's face at this time, but there was just a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

He didn't rest and directly placed another twenty blank formation stones on the table.

The next step is to repeat the operation.

This time, it still took ten minutes.

His expression did not change significantly.

As soon as ten minutes passed, another batch of high-quality advanced defense formation stones were successfully refined, without any failures.

"The success rate is getting higher and higher."

Xiao Zining murmured to himself, put away the twenty formation stones, and then placed twenty blank formation stones.

This time, it took one minute longer than the previous two times, but other than that, there was nothing different from before, except for Xiao Zining's face being slightly pale.

Still without stopping, he continued to start the fourth refining.

This time, it was obviously more difficult than before. It took thirteen minutes to complete, and Xiao Zining's lips turned a little white.

He still did not rest and entered the fifth refining without stopping. This time it was even more difficult. Xiao Zining's breathing quickened slightly for a moment.

It took fifteen minutes to refine this batch. Xiao Zining was already sweating profusely and his face was pale. His mental power was almost reaching the limit. His whole person fell into a sleepy state. This was due to the lack of mental power.

performance.

He also put the twenty pieces into the Qiankun bag.

But then, he still didn't stop and took out twenty more blank formation stones and arranged them.

He closed his eyes again and raised his hands to his chest.

Starlight condensed, and he started refining again!

If anyone were present at this time, they would definitely be able to see that Xiao Zining's condition was already very bad at this time.

His hands were trembling, his whole body was sweating, and his face was as white as a dead man.

Xiao Zining didn't feel good at this time either. Wave after wave of dizziness came from the depths of his mind, accompanied by the slightest bit of pain.

He was gritting his back molars, and the veins on his temples and neck were bulging.

He forced his scattered energy to concentrate, and refined the formation stone bit by bit.

Soon, ten minutes passed. Seeing that seven-tenths of the engraving on the formation stone had been completed, Xiao Zining's speed suddenly slowed down.

Not only is his mental power almost reaching its limit, but the spiritual power in his body is also about to be exhausted. Even though his Qi sea capacity is larger than that of ordinary people, he cannot withstand such a torment.

Refining one formation stone requires a lot of spiritual power, not to mention that he has already refined a hundred of them.

If it were an ordinary person, his spiritual power would have been exhausted and he would have died.

At this time, Xiao Zining's fingers were shaking like chaff, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

His movements were already very slow, but he was still persisting and had no intention of giving up.

Fifteen minutes, sixteen, seventeen...twenty minutes!

The last stroke has fallen!

Xiao Zining's body limply fell to the ground. At this moment, he was like a drowning person who had just been rescued, and his whole body had lost all strength.

Xiao Zining took dozens of deep breaths before slowly coming back to his senses, and the scene in front of him began to become clearer.

His eyes fell on the formation stone that fell on the ground. There were more than a dozen stones emitting light light, but only two of them were dimmer than before they were refined.

There is no aura left on it and it is completely useless.

"Only two were destroyed."

Xiao Zining suddenly knew what was going on.

In the past two days, he had been trying five times, twenty coins at a time, which was a hundred coins. One hundred coins at a time without stopping was already his limit.

But this time, he felt that he could try to challenge it for one more round.

Facts have proved that his feeling was right. Although the process was relatively difficult, he still succeeded, and only two of them were refining and useless, which was beyond his own imagination.

After resting for ten minutes, Xiao Zining felt that his depleted mental energy was rapidly recovering, becoming stronger and more abundant.

Every time he exhausted his mental power to the limit, Xiao Zining would feel that his mental power was even stronger when he recovered again.

He sat on the ground and put away all the formation stones.

After closing his eyes for a quarter of an hour, he stood up, walked out of the secret room, and walked outside.

At this time, he had not fully recovered, but there was no problem in moving. Xiao Zining took out a half-face mask of a white fox, not wanting anyone to recognize him or see his pale face.

He secretly left the Wandao Palace and flew away in a certain direction.

None of the subsequent formations were arranged by him personally. He didn't know what was going on. He had to go and check it himself, lest someone hide their intentions and put everyone's lives on the line.

Xiao Zining walked all the way from south to north, and then from north to west. He checked some key formations and found some damage, which he also repaired.

Finally, he came to a small city on the edge, and with just one look, he saw the problem.

"There is something wrong with this formation."

The defensive barrier of the formation was obviously much weaker than the others, and the aura of the formation was very unfamiliar to Xiao Zining, it was not refined by him!

Xiao Zining narrowed his eyes slightly, it seemed that there was something fishy.

He fell into the city. This small town was relatively remote, but there were a lot of people. There were also many people who had set up tents in the city. They should be refugees who had fled from other places.

Those people have sallow faces, thin muscles, ragged clothes, and look like beggars with almond-shaped eyes. In this city, most of the people are like this.

Xiao Zining frowned. He had seen such refugees in other cities, but not so many.

Something must have gone wrong, so Xiao Zining sneaked into the city quietly.

As he walked on the street, there were quite a few people shouting about buying and selling, but the vendors were also sallow and thin and lacked energy, while occasionally the owners of some big shops had fat heads, big ears, and rosy faces.

It formed an extremely strong contrast, which made Xiao Zining feel uncomfortable and a sense of dissonance.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked in one direction, and a familiar spatial fluctuation appeared not far in front of Xiao Zining.

Xiao Zining is very familiar with that feeling. He has been exposed to it countless times. There is no way he can feel wrong!

"Heh, I want to see who is doing this secretly."

Xiao Zining raised his feet and was about to go over there to take a look.

"Ah!! No... don't hit me! I was wrong!!"

A burst of screams and begging for mercy came, Xiao Zining paused and looked up.
Chapter completed!
