Chapter 338 Formation and Evaluation

"Yes, great-grandfather." Li Changgui nodded, and then explained the reason why he came to Li Qianqing, "In reply to great-grandfather, I have set up a first-level low-grade micro-spiritual gathering array."

"How many materials did you use?" Li Qianqing asked immediately.

"Three."

Li Qianqing currently does not know how long Li Changgui took to set up a first-level low-grade micro-spiritual array. Now he can basically judge that Li Changgui has a good talent for array formations. In addition to being a double-spiritual root cultivator, he can definitely become the family's array master.

Array formations are very difficult. In addition to having a good array formation talent, the spiritual root talent should not be bad, otherwise it will be difficult for the current Li family to play a big role.

Therefore, Li Qianqing selects family cultivators with array formation talents, mainly from three spiritual roots and double spiritual roots. Four spiritual roots are also acceptable, but the talent for array formations must be particularly good, so that the family will provide resources and try to help him succeed in building a foundation. As for five spiritual roots cultivators... even if the array formation talent is good, it is useless. Five spiritual roots cultivators are too difficult to build a foundation.

The Li family is only a Jindan cultivation family, not a Yuanying cultivation family. After weighing the pros and cons, the most they can do is to let such a five-spiritual-rooted cultivator walk. Whether he can practice and break through to the foundation-building stage depends on luck. With the financial resources of a Jindan cultivation family, it is useless to spend more resources.

"You set up a first-level inferior micro-spirit gathering array in front of me now." Li Qianqing wanted to further see Li Changgui's talent.

"Yes, great-grandfather."

After the clan members who want to take the formation path pass the initial test, the family will give them a total of five sets of materials for setting up a first-level inferior micro-spirit gathering array. If all five sets of materials are used up and the gathering array is still not set up, it is better not to stick to the formation path, as it will be difficult to achieve success in the future.

Li Changgui was still a little nervous when setting up the gathering array in front of Li Qianqing.

Now he must adjust his mentality. Compared with the alchemist, the formation master has a higher requirement for mentality. You must know that setting up a spirit array is not like refining pills. It is basically done in one place, and a familiar environment is obviously more conducive to doing things.

"It's okay, just relax. Just like you arranged the first-grade inferior spirit gathering array before." Li Qianqing couldn't help but whispered when he saw this. He must hope that Li Changgui would arrange the spirit array in the best state.

After the spirit array is successfully arranged once and has experience, it will basically not fail the second time. It's mainly a matter of speed.

The faster Li Changgui completes the arrangement of the first-grade inferior micro spirit gathering array, the better his talent is.

After five breaths, Li Changgui took out the materials in the storage bag and started the fourth arrangement of the spirit gathering array.

When he arranged the spirit gathering array, he quickly devoted himself to it.

Li Qianqing nodded when he saw this. This is also a manifestation of good talent in the formation. The reason why he asked Li Changgui to arrange the spirit gathering array in front of him was to see when he would devote himself to arranging the spirit gathering array.

Time passed bit by bit.

After Li Changgui completed the last step, he put a piece of inferior spirit stone into the groove of the first-grade inferior spirit gathering array, and the spirit gathering array started smoothly.

"Great-grandfather, I succeeded!" When the spirit gathering array began to gather spiritual energy around, Li Changgui looked at Li Qianqing.

"Well, very good." Li Qianqing nodded with satisfaction.

Li Changgui has a very good talent in the art of formation, and Duan Rongrong must be happy to accept such a disciple.

Becoming Duan Rongrong's disciple does not mean that you need to become a disciple of Qingfeng Valley, but after becoming a disciple of Qingfeng Valley, you will definitely get more guidance from Duan Rongrong, after all, Duan Rongrong lives in Qingfeng Valley, not Changqing Mountain.

"Destroy the spirit gathering array as quickly as possible, and then follow me." Li Qianqing wanted him to destroy the spirit gathering array with the means of a formation master, not violent destruction.

Destruction is definitely easy, and skillful destruction is relatively much more difficult.

"Yes, great-grandfather!"

After Li Changgui took out the inferior spirit stone and put it away, he began his rapid destruction of the first-level inferior micro spirit gathering array that had just been arranged.

When he destroyed the spirit gathering array, the land looked like it had never been arranged with a spirit array.

This is another manifestation of talent, but Li Qianqing roughly understands his talent in the formation, so it is normal for Li Changgui to behave like this.

Not long after, Li Qianqing brought Li Changgui to the family library.

He took out all the books and jade slips about the formation. If a family member wants to exchange these, it will cost a lot of contribution points. Compared with buying these knowledge contents from the outside, it is still much cheaper.

Setting up the contribution point exchange is mainly to prevent the family members who have no talent in this from doing some meaningless things. When they need to pay a certain price, the family members will be much calmer and will not do irrational things in a fit of the brain.

And for the family members with talent, when other conditions are met, it is natural that they do not need to spend contribution points to obtain these knowledge contents. This is the family's training for them.

"Changgui, you absorb these knowledge first, and then my great-grandfather will find a master for you." Li Qianqing handed all the books and jade slips he got to Li Changgui.

Li Changgui thanked him and put these things into the storage bag.

No matter which path you take, having a master is definitely better than not having one, as it can help you avoid many detours. Especially in the areas of formations and alchemy, the master will play a greater role.

Li Changgui was very happy when he heard that his great grandfather was looking for a master for him. He knew that there was no elder in the Li family who was good at formations, so if his great grandfather wanted to find a master for him, he could only go to other places.

"Great grandfather, how long will it take?" Li Changgui couldn't help asking.

Li Qianqing thought about it and quickly replied, "It will be either this year or next year."

To invite Duan Rongrong to come, he first had to see if Duan Rongrong had time. If Duan Rongrong was not busy now, she could come to Changqing Mountain as early as this month.

He said it would be this year or next year, but in fact, more than 90% of it could be done this year. As an elder, sometimes, you can't be too sure of what you say, and you have to consider some unexpected situations. After all, he hasn't contacted Duan Rongrong yet. After contacting Duan Rongrong, he will probably know the situation.

When leaving the family library, Li Qianqing finally gave Li Changgui a few simple instructions.

Li Changgui had to absorb all the contents in the books and jade slips first, and then arrange the spiritual formation, and also refine the formation plate, formation flag, etc., so that he could make faster progress.

After parting with Li Changgui, Li Qianqing returned to the cave and took out a sound transmission talisman to ask Duan Rongrong about her recent situation. He also said that their Li family had a double spiritual root cultivator with good formation talent and hoped that she could accept him as a disciple.

Not long after the sound transmission talisman disappeared from his sight, he received a reply.

Duan Rongrong said that she would go to Changqing Mountain in three months.

"These things are settled."

After receiving the reply, Li Qianqing quickly entered the state of cultivation, which was also to cultivate to the peak of the early stage of Jindan as soon as possible, and then enter the middle stage of Jindan.

After the Jindan stage, it is difficult to break through each small realm. For example, the simplest breakthrough from the peak of the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan has blocked many cultivators, and of course, more cultivators still fail to break through from the peak of the middle stage of Jindan to the late stage of Jindan.

Three months later.

Duan Rongrong arrived at Changqing Mountain at about the time she told her.

As the formation elder of Qingfeng Valley, Duan Rongrong has very good cultivation resources. Now she is almost at the peak of foundation building. As for whether the peak of foundation building can successfully form a pill, it is particularly difficult for a double spiritual root cultivator without the assistance of a pill forming spiritual object. If there is a pill forming spiritual object, the overall probability of successful formation of a pill is not very high.

There are many cultivators at the peak of foundation building in the four major formation sects of Zhao State, and there are also some cultivators who can be called fake pills.

"Qianqing, where is the younger generation you mentioned?"

Duan Rongrong came to Changqing Mountain and soon met Li Qianqing. After the two chatted for a few words, she mentioned the younger generation mentioned by Li Qianqing in the sound transmission sound.

According to Li Qianqing's description, the talent of this younger generation of the Li family in the formation should not be much different from her.

There are three formation elders in Qingfeng Valley. The other two already have disciples, but she doesn't. In fact, Duan Rongrong really wants to accept disciples, but there has been no suitable one.

The disciples with good array talents in Qingfeng Valley were either taken away or belonged to other factions and had some conflicts with Yan Xuewei's faction. If not, she would have basically accepted a disciple when she broke through to the late stage of foundation building.

Her master also accepted her as a disciple in the late stage of foundation building, and not long after she broke through to the foundation building period, her master's life was exhausted and left this world.

"Rongrong, you follow me." Li Qianqing led the way.

As the two walked, Duan Rongrong asked questions about Li Changgui. It was hard to say in the sound transmission sound, but now she could get a more specific understanding of her future disciple.

When Li Qianqing just sent him a sound transmission sound, this Li Changgui seemed to have arranged two first-level inferior spirit gathering arrays.

"How has he been doing in the past three months?"

"We have given him all the books and jade slips on the formation. In the past few months, Changgui has digested most of the contents of the books while practicing. He has not yet arranged other spiritual formations..."

Li Qianqing briefly talked about Li Changgui's situation. In his opinion, being able to absorb and digest so much knowledge about the formation in the past three months is also a manifestation of good talent.

He thinks Duan Rongrong should be satisfied with this apprentice.

"Well, in this case, it will be much easier for me to teach." Duan Rongrong nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

If there is theoretical knowledge, she needs to teach more practical operations later, and she herself should not stay in the Li family for too long. After all, she is the formation elder of Qingfeng Valley. Even if Yan Xuewei, the Jindan elder, is in front, she should be more restrained.

If there are enough reasons, staying longer will not be a big problem, but the problem is that Duan Rongrong obviously does not have enough reasons now.

While walking and chatting, the two soon came to the hut where Li Changgui lived. At this moment, Li Changgui was still practicing.

When the sound of the door opening came from outside, he also stopped practicing.

"Great-grandfather." When he opened the door and saw that the person coming was Li Qianqing, he immediately called out. When he saw Duan Rongrong next to Li Qianqing, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Disciple greets Master."

He had never seen Duan Rongrong, nor had he heard of her. Great-grandfather wanted to give him a surprise at that time, so he did not tell him about Duan Rongrong's situation.

He could only guarantee that this strange woman was not a cultivator of the Li family, and the master that Great-grandfather invited for him was definitely not a cultivator of the family. At this time, Great-grandfather could bring a strange woman to see him, and she could only be his future master.

If he wasn't his future master, his great-grandfather would have stopped him when he was performing the ceremony.

Because the ceremony he performed was the ceremony of paying respect to his master.

"The little guy is quite clever." Duan Rongrong smiled. In the previous chat with Li Qianqing, she understood that Li Changgui didn't know her situation. If he knew, she wouldn't have said this.

"It's a bit ridiculous." When saying this, Li Qianqing smiled, and it was obvious that he approved of Li Changgui's approach. "The talent hasn't been tested yet, but he has already paid respect to his master."

Li Qianqing meant that Duan Rongrong hadn't personally tested Li Changgui's talent for formations.

Doing it yourself is more or less different from what others say.

"Get up." When Duan Rongrong said this, it also meant that he would definitely accept Li Changgui as his apprentice.

"Thank you, Master!" Only then did Li Changgui smile.

He didn't believe that the strange woman brought by his great-grandfather would not accept him as his apprentice. This was also out of his trust in his great-grandfather. He believed that the person brought by his great-grandfather would definitely succeed. Moreover, his great-grandfather also said at the time that he would find a master for him if not this year or next year, which made him more certain of his thoughts.

"Changgui, follow me."

"Yes, Master."

"I'm from Qingfeng Valley, my last name is Duan..."

After taking Li Changgui aside, Duan Rongrong also briefly introduced her situation. She had already learned the details about Li Changgui from Li Qianqing.

Seeing this, Li Qianqing did not stay here. Now it was time for them to be master and disciple.

It was almost dusk.

Duan Rongrong spent most of the day with Li Changgui.

In the cave of the head of the Li family.

Duan Rongrong appeared here again.

"Rongrong, how is it?" Li Qianqing asked Duan Rongrong about her specific feelings about accepting Li Changgui as a disciple.

"Very satisfied." Duan Rongrong told the truth.

Based on what Li Qianqing said and her actual feelings, it can be said that Li Qianqing's evaluation of Li Changgui was very fair, without any exaggeration.

Normally, as an elder of the family, there is a filter for the younger generation. Therefore, when Duan Rongrong learned about Li Changgui's situation from Li Qianqing, she lowered her expectations in her heart. In this way, when she saw Li Changgui's actual situation, she should not be disappointed.

Expectations have been lowered. If it is worse than expected, then her personal evaluation of Li Qianqing will be lowered, and at the same time, she will know him better.

Now she knows more about Li Qianqing, and her evaluation in her heart has risen.

"By the way, Qianqing, I have something else to tell you this time." After the two of them talked about Li Changgui, Duan Rongrong suddenly spoke.
