Chapter 322: First Step into Formation

"The Encyclopedia of Five Elements Formation" stays in the courtyard of the bald old man for a few days, and the effort of a few days is nothing to the monks who established the foundation. If it is not because Chen Guolao's injury is not fully recovered, Lu Xiaotian will stay for a few more days . But it doesn't matter, Chen Guolao's family will not leave Wangyue City for the time being. After all, the situation has become more and more tense recently, and the outside of Wangyue City is also very chaotic. Their enemies are not small, so it is more risky to go out rashly.

Through Chen Guolao's explanation, Lu Xiaotian has a general understanding of the formation. After returning to his small courtyard, in addition to giving the little fire crow some fire-type animal spirit pills, Lu Xiaotian devoted himself to the "Five Elements Formation" Encyclopedia". According to Chen Guolao, the array is vast and vast, and it is difficult to see the whole picture after exhausting a person's life, but in the final analysis, it is the use of various forces, guided by the advantage, using the power of the five elements, and using wind, thunder, ice, etc. Power, supplemented by the means of the formation master, these natural forces in the cultivation world can be used for their own use, which can be used to attack, defend, and trap the enemy.

Those clever formation masters can even mobilize the power of the five elements of heaven and earth with their astonishing means, and possess unpredictable supernatural powers. The formations in ancient times can even kill Nascent Soul monks like nothing. A little closer to Mochiyue City's large defensive formation, dozens of Jindan monks joined forces and could not break through it in a short period of time. The power that formations can achieve even far exceeds personal strength.

Lu Xiaotian does not fully agree with this, no matter how strong the formation is, except for a very few naturally formed formations, the others are still refined by humans after all, and the formation cannot be broken, only because of insufficient strength. However, it is undeniable that formations are indeed an excellent means for people to defeat the strong with the weak. Chen Guolao's son faced the siege of the six underlings of the short and fat man before, with an imperfect seven-star formation, he was able to block enemies several times his size and even gained the upper hand, which shows how powerful his formation is.

As for the real seven-star formation, even the opponent's magic weapon of alchemy cannot break through it. Even a monk at the first level of foundation establishment can easily kill a powerful late foundation establishment monk. The incomplete seven-star formation was refined by Chen Guolao after replacing the real seven-star formation with soul-raising pills and foundation-building pills, and spent a lot of energy in order to protect himself. It is precisely because of this that Lu Xiaocai attaches great importance to this family's accomplishments in formations, and the fact proves that his choice is not wrong.

According to Chen Guolao, due to the limited energy of each person, most formation masters will choose to focus on one series of formations for in-depth study after they have a preliminary understanding of the principles of the use of the power of the five elements, even if it is one of the formations. The geniuses of the sky know more deeply, but they will also choose two or three of them. Too much to chew.

After the initial study of formations, Lu Xiaocai knew that Chen Guolao was not trying to bluff him. The same formation, played in the hands of different formation masters, will have different power and size. It is because each formation master has a different understanding of the formation. Studying some powerful formations requires repeated deduction and calculation with the spiritual consciousness. This kind of deduction consumes the most consciousness.

After he first learned about the high requirements of playing against mages, Lu Xiaotian also had some thoughts of backing down. Chen Guolao's worry was not unreasonable. Studying formations really took up a lot of time for a person, and it was more complicated than he originally imagined. many. However, in order to have more ways to form alchemy in the future, Lu Xiaotian had to grit his teeth temporarily and persevere. Fortunately, the spiritual consciousness is consumed a lot, and there is also the soul nourishing pill. He doesn't need to stop and rest after the spiritual consciousness is exhausted like other formation masters, or the time to stop and rest is much shorter, and he uses the auxiliary element God's deduction of the formation will not delay his usual affairs. Maybe when he cultivates the third or even the fourth primordial spirit with the splitting mystic technique, he can even devote more energy to it. After all, he usually only needs one primordial spirit for cultivation, but the other primordial spirits can be spared. Let's do it.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help being a little excited. If so, wouldn't it mean that after dozens or even a hundred years, wouldn't his attainments in formations gradually improve?

However, a tall building rises on the ground. Lu Xiaotian opened the "Five Elements Formation Encyclopedia" starting from the first-order formation of the soil system. There are many types of formations, but Lu Xiaotian especially emphasized the need to learn the Five Elements Formation, so Chen Guolao directly Give him the book of formations.

There are no other worries, and in Wangyue City, if there is anything you don't understand about the formation, you can ask Chen Guolao at any time, so Lu Xiaotian has no plans to return to Lingxiao Palace for the time being. In addition to cultivating and consolidating his cultivation, he took a certain amount of time to study gray stones every day, and the rest of the time was spent on alchemy and studying formations with Chen Guolao.

The days are extremely fulfilling. One day, Lu Xiaotian took a seat in the small courtyard as usual, and a sound transmission talisman flew over, "Fellow Daoist Lu, there will be a large-scale auction in Mochiyue City tomorrow, do you intend to participate? If so, I will send someone to invite you." Post it."

The sound-transmitting talisman was sent by Wang Defeng, and he sent several sound-transmitting talismans in a row in the past few days, but since the matter of the literati surnamed Fan came out a few days ago, Lu Xiaotian did not reply to Wang Defeng temporarily out of caution. Wang Defeng called it a large-scale auction, and at least the monks in the Foundation Establishment period must have participated, and there might be something he wanted. Moreover, although Wang Defeng and him are mostly related to interests, they finally helped him sell some pills, and finding a partner may not be more suitable than Wang Defeng. The warning given to him this time was enough.

After pondering for a while, he returned a sound transmission talisman to Wang Defeng.

An hour later, in the Bixiao Inn on the main road of Wangyue City, in a small independent building, Lu Xiaotian sat in it, asked the maid in charge of Shangling tea to put down the spirit tea and left, and sat here alone to drink tea, In the past, he was either cultivating or going around in danger to survive, but it was rare for him to be so refreshed.

After a while, a familiar figure walked quickly from the entrance, and when he saw Lu Xiaotian, he was greatly relieved, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I was the one who was reckless last time, so I invite fellow Daoist Lu Haihan, regardless of the past."

"Let's not talk about it. Speaking of it, I haven't heard from me in the past few years. It's understandable that Wang Daoyou is a bit impatient. Just remember not to let this kind of thing happen again in the future. The alchemists behind me don't want to be caught by ordinary things. disturbed." Lu Xiaotian said.

"Naturally, it's true that you have been away for too long, Fellow Daoist Lu. When the Ning Jinguo appeared, I was a bit rash and took over other people's affairs directly. I didn't expect that you, Fellow Daoist Lu, lost contact. Not to mention losing a sum of spirit stones to others, and ruining the reputation, if not for this, I would definitely not be so reckless this time." Wang Defeng said with a wry smile when he heard the words.

"It sounds like it has something to do with me."
