I will survive with proficiency

"Everyone, Yunzhong City's achievements today are all due to you, and we will have to make persistent efforts. What year will it be after two years? Do you remember?" Yun Wenting smiled.

Jing Hongping excitedly answered:

"I remember. The 'Four Tripod Ratio' is held every ten years."

Yun Wenting patted his thigh:

"Hahaha, that's right. Everyone should practice harder. Let's get a good ranking in the coming year. Other fellow daoists should understand the importance of the ratio of the four tripods. Fellow Daoist Chen may not know, but let me introduce, the ratio of the four tripods is "

The ratio of the four tripods, in layman's terms, is the battle between the four cultivation cities of Ling Xiaozong.

The ratio of foundation building.

The people in the competition are usually 1-2 people in the early stage, middle stage, and late stage of foundation establishment.

As for whether it is 1 person or 2 people, it is determined by Ling Xiaozong based on the situation of the four Xiuxian cities in the past. Some Xiuxian cities may not have so many foundation-building monks at a certain level.

This 'four tripod ratio' is as important as the competition of young disciples between the four immortal cities and the endless forest trial. It can directly determine the number of excellent Qi training period disciples sent from the immortal city to Ling Xiaozong.

Xiuxian City is mostly controlled by families.

This determines the chances of their young children entering the Lingxiao Sect.

So we take it very seriously.

All major immortal cities will work hard to achieve good results.

Chen Ping heard Qi Qiran.

This Ling Xiaozong not only assesses the 'KPI', but also encourages introversion between Xiuxian City.

Not a good sect.

It's a real dog.

When Yun Wenting introduced, Chen Ping listened carefully, but when Yun Wenting finished the introduction, Chen Ping immediately leaned over and secretly chatted with Jing Hongping who was next door to avoid Yun Wenting's gaze.

Then there was a burst of pushing and changing cups.

After everyone chatted thoroughly, at the end of the banquet, Chen Ping purposely walked in front of Yun Wenting for a few times.

Yun Wenting didn't see through Chen Ping's realm at all.

Chen Ping couldn't help feeling a little dark.

The old man had seen through his realm at a glance. Can't do it now? Let you pretend. Hehe, the high-level breath-holding technique is quite useful.

After coming out of the conference hall, he made an appointment with Yun Haitang, and went to her house to learn the formation technique the next day.

Nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, Chen Ping appeared in the 'Begonia Mansion'.

The formation created by the maid led Chen Ping into the Yunhaitang cave.

The pot of three-clawed Dragon Snake Grass was placed on the desk in Yun Haitang's meeting room.

"Did Daoyou Chen know about formations before?" Yun Haitang took out several formation disks, tokens and the like.

Chen Ping said truthfully:

"Very little. Fellow Daoist Yun, just treat him as someone who doesn't understand formations at all."

Yun Haitang nodded.

Handed Chen Ping a jade slip:

"This jade slip contains a detailed introduction to the formation, and Chen Daoyou can slowly ponder it in the future. Today, I will give Chen Daoyou a brief introduction."

Then he gave Chen Ping a brief introduction to the formation method.

Leaving aside advanced formations, for formations below Tier 3, each set of formations usually consists of a formation plate, spirit stones and control tokens.

The number of formation disks and spirit stones required is closely related to the complexity of the formation. The more complex and advanced the formation, the more equipment is needed.

Arrays usually consist of two parts.

The first is the production of array utensils.

The second is the formation of formations.

The utensils of the array are the array plate and the control token, each of which is a magic weapon.

These magic tools come from the hands of monks who are proficient in both formations and weapon refining.

A pure refiner can't do it.

A pure array mage can't do it either.

As for the second link - formation.

There are some similarities with Fulu. They all need to run the laws of heaven and earth for their own use.

How to say formation is the first of the four arts of cultivating immortals.

It makes sense.

"At this stage, Chen Daoyou doesn't need to learn how to make formation disks and tokens. I only know a little bit of superficial knowledge. What I can teach Chen Daoyou is the latter link, which is the formation." Yun Haitang said, adding:

"As for the formation disks and tokens, you can buy them in the store, Daoyou Chen. There are special formation masters who forge formation disks and tokens for common formations."

"Of course, the disks and tokens of common formations can be bought. If you want to build some ancient formations in the future, or even create your own formations, then you have to learn the art of cultivating weapons."

understood.

That is, primary school at this stage.

No.

kindergarten.

Go to junior high school, high school, university...

That's right, it's not easy for me to arrange common formations now, so why talk about advanced formations?

That's all about the Year of the Monkey.

Chen Ping smiled and said:

"It's a blessing to be able to learn this formation technique from Fellow Daoist Yun. I also ask Fellow Daoist Yun to enlighten me."

Yun Haitang hummed:

"Okay, let's start with the most common spirit-gathering formation."

This study took several days.

have to say.

The real essence of the formation method is still in the second link - that is, the "array formation".

If you want to give an example, the refinement of the formation plate is somewhat like a talisman skin, while the formation is somewhat like a drawing talisman.

When deploying.

The first step is to refine the prohibitions on each of the purchased arrays.

That is to make the prohibition come alive.

Being able to sense each other's presence, not a dead thing.

The second step is to accurately calculate the orientation of each array disk.

This step may not be too complicated during the training process, but if it is used in the field, it needs to make full use of the local situation and use it flexibly.

What is important is the understanding of the essence of the formation.

The more thorough the understanding, the more sensitive the perception of the formation, and the more exquisite the formation is.

The third step is to cast the corresponding magic spells to turn the lonely formation plate, control token, and spirit stone into a large formation.

This step is the most critical.

The formation master must use the spiritual consciousness as the 'pen', the spiritual power as the 'ink', the heaven and the earth as the 'paper', and the array plate as the 'node' to connect the various elements together.

Use spiritual power to draw an invisible 'array pattern'.

Finally, a formation is formed.

If you need to sell this formation, you need to perform the next action.

That is the fourth step:

Gather the formation and imprison it with special restrictions.

This formation can be sold.

The monk who bought the formation only needs to refine the overall restriction by himself, and the entire formation can be used by him.

Even if the purchaser doesn't understand the placement of the array disks, because each array disk itself is connected by the formation pattern and is imprisoned, even if the placement is not very good, it will not cause the formation to fail.

Of course, such a formation is dead.

It is not as good as the similar formations arranged according to the situation on the spot.

The effect is to be discounted.

When seeing Chen Ping rampantly refining the formation plate with spiritual power like refining a storage bag, Yun Haitang patiently explained:

"When refining the formation disk, it is different from refining other magic tools. While injecting spiritual power into the formation disk, you must also use your spiritual consciousness to perceive the direction of the prohibition on the formation disk, try to understand, and let the prohibition patterns of each formation disk Reappear in the divine consciousness. In this way, even if you buy the formation plate, it will be as if you refined it yourself."

"."

Seeing that Chen Ping was struggling to find the best position in the mini formation, Yun Haitang gave a hint:

"When looking for the best formation position, we should not only take into account the position of Xunkan and Gendui in the mantra, but also take into account the formation scene. If the formation is a killing formation, we must pay attention to the aspects of life, death, Du, Ke, etc. Coordination, pay attention to the importance of Chinese and foreign, the knot of hardness and softness. If you want to set up a psychedelic formation, you must pay attention to each other's virtual reality, the change of longitude and latitude, the sudden advance of strange causes, and the interaction of multiple causes. As for the spirit-gathering formation, the focus is on the source of spirits, Comply with the smart, so as to save time and effort, and achieve the best results.”

"."

When seeing Chen Ping depicting the pattern of the formation like a talisman, Yun Haitang made a point:

"The third step is the most critical step. Chen Daoyou can draw talismans. This is Chen Daoyou's advantage and also his disadvantage. If he is bound by the skills of talismans, the power of the formation will be greatly reduced. The formation is not limited to a small piece of paper. On the talisman paper, the heaven and the earth should be used as the paper. The spiritual power should be long and uninterrupted. It cannot be light at one time and heavy at another. Especially where the lines of the spiritual power intersect, the spiritual power should be slowed down so that the corners are rounded to facilitate the aura aggregation and transformation."

"."

After more than half a month of practice, Chen Ping felt that familiar feeling - the throbbing of panel data changes.

[Formation: First-order spirit-gathering formation (entry): 1/1000. 】

'It's really not easy. '

‘This is probably the skill/spell that took the longest time to get started. '

‘It’s good to get started. '

When Chen Ping came out of Haitang Mansion, the steady maid Xiaohong sent Chen Ping out of the mansion:

"It's not easy to learn the formation. If Master Chen doesn't understand something, you can come to Haitang Mansion often in the future."

Chen Ping gave her a white look:

"Come again? I can see that the master of the Ni family looks as if he wants to kill me."

Xiaohong laughed happily.

I thought she was the one who knew the Palace Master best.

Chen Ping thanked him for the gift, then turned around and went to the shops in the city.
