Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 137 Formation Study

Bai Zichen turned the sword key over in his hand and looked at it for a long time.

 The texture is bronze, heavy, nothing special about it.

“This sword key is issued by the Hidden Sun Sword Sect. I heard that this sect united with several sword cultivation sects to set the rules... With this sword key, you can participate in a secret trial related to the inheritance of swordsmanship.”

Liang Yu had obviously heard about the origin of the sword key and introduced it to him.

"However, this secret realm is not within the Liang Kingdom. The Hidden Sun Sword Sect is only responsible for distributing and selecting kendo geniuses. The founder is someone else, a major kendo sect in the Northern Yuan Kingdom. It is said that the Yuanying True Lord is in charge of the sect. .”

“So this sword key is very famous among sword cultivators from several nearby countries. Sword cultivators who are confident in themselves will try their best to find one and give it a try.”

"I see."

Bai Zichen put away his sword and key. Beiyuan and Liang are adjacent countries, and they are countries with similar territory.

"Junior brother, your spiritual consciousness is powerful. The ancestor intends to teach you a formation, but you must seize this opportunity... Several second-level formation masters in the sect have been taught by the ancestor, but according to the ancestor's wishes, they can attack the third-level formation masters. None of them."

Liang Yu said earnestly, fearing that Bai Zichen would be obsessed with swordsmanship and not pay attention to the inheritance of formations.

"The importance of the third-level formation mage to the sect is no less important than that of Master Jiedan. Whether it is the layout and maintenance of the mountain-protecting formation, or the control role played by the third-level formation mage when being attacked, it can make the third-level formation even more important. Count them into power. If junior brother can get the mantle of the ancestor's formation, his achievements in the future will be far greater than mine."

"I understand. I will study it when I have time to see if I am really talented in formations."

How could Bai Zichen not understand the importance of a third-level formation mage?

 Among the various arts of cultivating immortality, alchemists are the most respected, followed by weapon refiners. This is for individual cultivators of immortality.

 At the level of large-scale forces, the status of the formation master has risen sharply.

However, the formation is so vast and mysterious that it cannot be achieved in a short time.

 As a world where great power is attributed to itself, when it comes to the choice of improving one's personal realm or cultivating the realm of immortality and art, there is no doubt that it is the former.

Bai Zichen is very clear about this and will not reverse the order of importance.

"By the way, when the big formation is set up, in addition to the small island in the middle of the lake prepared for Old Ancestor Yang, there will also be several third-level caves that can be opened up. Are you interested?"

Liang Yu may have noticed Bai Zichen's insincerity, so he shook his head without further persuasion and talked about another important matter.

"The Suoyue Pond where you currently live will be taken back in a few years. The sect currently has no vacant third-level spiritual land. With the size of Feiyue Lake, I estimate that at least five new third-level spiritual lands can be added. come out."

“It would be great if I could be allocated a third-level spiritual land in Feiyue Lake... Please help me, senior brother, to keep an eye on when the allocation will begin.”

 Bai Zichen's heart moved, this matter was indeed very important to him.

With the efficiency of refining spiritual energy with his third-level spiritual root qualification, he would definitely not be able to maintain his previous cultivation speed without the blessing of the third-level spiritual land.

 As for staying in Benshan or Feiyue Lake, he doesn't care.

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it for you. Unlike the newly vacated third-level spiritual land in the mountain gate, which needs to be lined up in order, Feiyue Lake, a newly opened spiritual land, does not have such rules."

Liang Yu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were cold and he said loudly.

“Based on Junior Brother Bai’s achievements in the land reclamation war, it is reasonable and reasonable to allocate a third-level spiritual land, so just leave it to me.”

 In the next few days, with the withdrawal of a large number of monks, Feiyue Lake became much quieter.

The Formation Hall spent more than ten days of hard work, and finally the 3,600-ring shisha formation, all the formation flags and formation plates were completed, and they were just waiting for the last step to be activated.

 But it is at this step that a third-level formation mage is required to take action, otherwise the formation will not be 100% consistent with the direction of the spiritual veins, and the power of the third-level formation will be greatly reduced.

Even when being attacked, some flaws that should not have been exposed were exposed.

“That’s right, you’ve been careful and there’s nothing wrong with the formation.”

Yang Laozu descended from the sky and had already checked the formation. He was obviously very satisfied.

“Thanks to my ancestor for his good teachings in the past.”

The leading formation master quickly saluted and handed the core of the formation control into the hands of Old Ancestor Yang.

Bai Zichen and all the sect elders present stood quietly aside, waiting for the moment when the formation was activated.

 “Pardon!”

Yang Patriarch gave a soft drink, flicked his fingers continuously, and white light was shot into the formation flag, and began to rotate slightly, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

 At the same time, between the mutual involvement, a mysterious connection is generated, and the spiritual energy is stirred.

The third-level formation can only be arranged by Yang Laozu, who has the dual identities of the Master Jiedan and the third-level formation mage.

 Otherwise, even with the cultivation level of Master Ge Cang, he would not be able to do it so easily.

 Thick mist rose from the lake, reaching the point where you could hardly see your fingers.

And not only does it cover the line of sight, but even the spiritual consciousness can only be effective within one foot of the body. If it goes further and enters the water mist range, it will become a headless fly.

Even though they were notified in advance, there were several exclamations from the elders’ team.

Every foundation-building monk is accustomed to using his spiritual consciousness. If it suddenly loses its effect, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

The water mist started from Feiyue Lake and slowly spread outwards, encompassing the surrounding waters, shallow and narrow rivers, including a few scattered spiritual fields and two second-order spiritual mountains.

 This process lasted for a full hour.

Yang Laozu stretched out his hand and pressed down, and all the formation flags were released from the water curtain, stacked one on top of another, and connected into one piece in the air.

At the same time, thirty-six high-grade spiritual stones were poured into the formation plate, and the formation control core was used to directly absorb the majestic spiritual power contained in the thirty-six high-grade spiritual stones with one finger.

The third-level formation connects the heaven and the earth and connects the earth's veins. The first time it is activated, high-grade spiritual stones are needed.

 For normal operation from now on, you only need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Even if a powerful enemy attacks, there will still be third-level high-grade spiritual veins to supply spiritual power.

Unless you are surrounded by a group of enemies and have been attacked for many years, the third-level high-grade spiritual veins will not be able to keep up. At that time, you will have to use high-grade spiritual stones to supplement it.

If the low-grade spiritual stone is exchanged for a medium-grade spiritual stone, there is only a slight premium, then if you want to exchange for a high-grade spiritual stone, you have to pay a multiple.

 Twenty thousand low-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spiritual stone.

The activation of the 3,600-ring shisha formation requires more than 700,000 spiritual stones, not counting the refining costs of the formation flags and formation disks.

 The cost of the third-level formation can be seen clearly.

 In addition to the Danjie forces, who else can arrange this.

As the spiritual power from the thirty-six high-grade spiritual stones poured in, the water curtain disappeared and appeared, and the air returned to normal.

Even the thick mist has mostly dissipated, leaving only a little bit of mist, which has been reduced to a level that does not affect the line of sight.

“The formation has been activated, and the access token has been refined. Come to my island to collect it later... I will also set up the spirit gathering formation in the past two days, so don’t disturb me if you have nothing to do.”

Yang Laozu said a word, and his whole person turned into a breeze and disappeared.

Bai Zichen looked at the formation in the distance and didn't look away for a long time.

 Watching the entire process of the activation of the third-order formation at close range was indeed shocking.

Monks strengthen their bodies and increase their magic power, while the formations borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to coincide with the direction of the avenue.

“Perhaps, we should take some time to look at those jade slips...”

Bai Zichen's long-term goal has not changed. It is better to put the cultivation of immortality and various arts into intensive study after the elixir formation. It is enough to lay a foundation in the foundation building stage.

  But you can increase the previously planned item of weapon refining to two items, and add formations as well.

“Starting tomorrow, except for the elders and disciples who are temporarily assigned to be stationed at Feiyue Lake, the rest will all withdraw to the sect in an orderly manner... As for the long-term garrison list, it will be decided at the next elders meeting.”

With the 3,600-ring hookah formation, Feiyue Lake is as stable as a mountain. Even if the dragon is resurrected, it will not be able to regain its territory.

Wei Dao immediately promulgated the decree of the head of the clan and prepared to return to the sect.

 The monks left temporarily are mainly disciples from the Formation Hall and Lingzhi Hall, and the total number is only a few hundred.

 In fact, it is not a problem for Feiyue Lake and surrounding spiritual lands to accommodate the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of monks.

With the third-level high-grade spiritual veins, Feiyue Lake is destined to never become an ordinary villa. A hundred years later, it will definitely become the sub-center of Qingfeng Sect, radiating deep into the Black Mountain.

 …

“The formation is indeed mysterious. I am now a foundation-building monk, and my spiritual consciousness is close to the late stage of foundation-building. It takes more than ten days to study this level of formation before I can get started..."

Bai Zichen put down the jade slip in his hand. In the past half month, he mainly read some of Yang Patriarch's formations and researched an entry-level formation.

Cultivation of immortality and various arts, in addition to testing the monk's own talent, the higher the cultivation level, the more advantageous it will be to practice again.

For example, for the same monk, it would take him three years to get started with the Tao of Talisman during the Qi Refining Stage. After establishing the foundation and having a far-sighted vision, and most importantly, with the help of his spiritual consciousness, it would only take a few days at most.

 This is also the reason why Bai Zichen does not want to invest too much time in cultivating the immortal arts. Firstly, there is not so much time, and secondly, after forming the elixir himself, he can use less time to go back to practice.

“This small rejuvenation formation can speed up the mana recovery speed of monks within a three-foot range... Well, it is only effective for monks in the early stage of Qi refining. It is considered the most basic first-level low-grade formation.”

Bai Zichen looked at the formation with green light under his feet, nodded with satisfaction, and raised his hand to move away.

Even though it was only a first-level low-grade formation, it took him a lot of effort to understand it, and he failed more than ten times.

As of today, the layout has been successfully completed, and I can be regarded as a first-level low-grade array mage.

“One thing is certain. I am definitely not the kind of genius who can master formations at the touch of a finger and draw inferences from one instance... It is impossible to become a second-level formation master without investing a lot of time and energy.”

Bai Zichen put away the jade slip of the formation inheritance with some regret. Today is the day when he returns to the sect in the wind shuttle.

 The next time we can go to Feiyue Lake depends on when Senior Brother Liang Yu can arrange the third-level spiritual land properly and return here as a resident.
