Liu Xiaolou held the jade plate presented by Wei Hongqing and used the true essence to etch the formation talisman according to the rules in the formation book.
Carve a deep mark on the left, a shallow mark on the right, and then carve a vague mark on the top, then pull it straight down, wrap it around from the back of the jade plate, return to the mark mark above, and then each Divide left and right, the left circle is the sun, and the semicircle is the moon, connected with ripples to the bottom...
According to the formation book, the one on the left is the sky, the yang, and the sun, and can serve as the Lord, or the soul. The one on the right is the earth, yin, and can be used at any time. Shi Ye, or Po Ye, the one whose left and right sides are in harmony with each other is good and evil, evil and righteous, and commanding...
The purpose of carving is to build a world on the jade plate, and this world is the formation talisman.
The formation talisman is complex, and every dozens of strokes must be carved with true essence without interruption. This interruption is not the interruption of traces, but the interruption of true essence. It is extremely energy-consuming to draw.
It only took one night to complete the carving of the formation talisman, but Liu Xiaolou felt as if he was seriously ill. His true energy was exhausted, his face was pale, and his eyes were dull. He fell down and slept for three days and three nights before he recovered slightly.
Lord Xingde did not allow him to rest any longer. Refining the array disk was to be done in one go. It had to be completed when the formation talisman world was "not old", otherwise it would be a dead thing.
Liu Xiaolou had no choice but to hold the spirit stone to replenish his true energy and continue to fight by burning the midnight oil.
The next step is to integrate various materials into the jade plate. The channels that are integrated are the lines of the talisman carved on it. They are said to be channels, but in fact they are also the places where the materials live and store, just like the acupuncture pools in the acupuncture points on the body.
This is another delicate job, and must be carried out according to the method specified in the formation book. Each material cannot touch each other, each goes his own way, and each enters his own door. Some notched channels need to pass through five, six, or even seven or eight kinds of materials. So many materials can be passed side by side in such a small channel, and each material cannot affect each other when the array is running in the future. You can imagine the difficulty. .
Once a mistake is made, the channel must be cleaned again with true energy and new materials must be blended in.
Liu Xiaolou spent more than half a month on this level, and had to do it over seven times before finally completing it.
In the third step, the earth and fire need to be stable and the spiritual power to be warm and nourished, which is the so-called blending of water and fire.
There is a ready-made earth fire in Xingde Temple, which is in the refining room. As for spiritual power, it can only rely on spiritual stones. Xing Dejun does not have a spirit stone, so the spirit stone can only be produced by Liu Xiaolou, which is what it should be.
The jade plate is suspended in the air above the ground fire mouth, with a spiritual stone attached above it.
The earthly fire burns white flames below the jade plate, and the spiritual stone evaporates green smoke above the jade plate. Where the white flames and green smoke meet, a rainbow appears. The jade plate slowly turns over in the rainbow, which is so mysterious that it is hard to describe.
Liu Xiaolou sat down at the entrance of the Earthly Fire Cave to refine the weapon. On the fifth day of refinement, there was a faint sound of huge earthquakes in the mountains, which made him a little distracted.
Lord Xingde on the opposite side made a gesture to tell him to concentrate, then left the weapon refining room and looked down the mountain.
I saw a tall god-man in the mountain, catching a few fleeing cultivators. After a while, he grabbed the few cultivators, held them in his hands, and strode away.
A shout came from the bottom of the mountain: "Don't be alarmed, everyone, the Qingyu Sect has nothing to do with you!"
Lord Xingde jumped up to a high place to take a closer look, but it was Deacon Hou of the Qingyu Sect who loudly announced at the mountain pass. As the tall god-man left, Deacon Hou's voice gradually faded away.
This is the magical fighting technique of Qingyu Sect. It is unknown which inner disciple of the sect took action, and the momentum is astonishing.
A big family from a famous family, it’s really impressive! Mr. Xing De sighed and felt a little heavy in his heart. He returned to the weapon refining room and signaled Liu Xiaolou not to be distracted.
On the seventh day of refining in this way, Liu Xiaolou followed the instructions in the formation book and bit the tip of his tongue, spurting out a stream of blood and spraying it on the formation plate.
This is the last step in refining the formation disk, establishing a connection between the mind and the mind. After completing this step, the formation disk can be released as desired, and only the owner of the formation disk can control it.
Liu Xiaolou caressed the array plate filled with aura, feeling extremely happy. He was immediately enveloped in endless sleepiness and fell asleep again.
From collecting materials, to ingredients, carving the formation symbols, to melting the materials, and finally warming and curing, it took three months and a whole winter. It was really not easy.
When warming and nourishing the array, five spiritual stones were also consumed, which made Liu Xiaolou heartbroken.
This was something I hadn't thought of when I first came up with the idea. Fortunately, it was done. In addition to the Mi Li Xiang and the San Xuan Sword, a Lin Yuan Xuan Stone Formation was added, which was an additional means of saving lives.
After waking up, Liu Xiaolou activated the array, and a small courtyard immediately transformed into a small courtyard in the Xingde Temple, just like the courtyard where Jiuniang lived in the Zhou Manor: surrounded by white walls, lush green bamboos, green ponds, and pavilions. It is exquisite, and there are candle lights dancing in the side rooms beside the wall, full of aura of wealth.
But this small courtyard is like a prison. Once you enter, it is difficult to get out. And you must not enter that wing, otherwise you will be unable to control yourself. This is no joke.
Mr. Xing Dejun entered the illusion formation and tried it. He burst out of the formation with a red face and said, "Can't you be more serious? I thought you added some kind of fragrant tendon, but who knows... .Don’t say from now on that I taught you the refining method!”
Liu Xiaolou didn't take it seriously: "Senior, I have already said that there is no high or low law..."
Xing Dejun waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't say that again."
Liu Xiaolou was looking forward to Mr. Xing Dejun's comments: "How is the magic circle refined by this junior?"
Mr. Xing De said frankly: "It's not a talent, but it's not bad. It's rare to be able to do this for the first time refining the formation disk."
Liu Xiaolou said happily: "So, it's done?"
Xing Dejun nodded: "It's done."
Liu Xiaolou said with emotion: "It's really not easy. Just this array plate, I can't sell it for not less than twenty spirit stones! Have a good meal tonight and you won't stop until you get drunk!"
The mountains of Taoyuan are rich in products, with wild boars, mountain deer, hares, and pheasants everywhere. Liu Xiaolou prepared a large table of dishes, took out Xing Dejun's wine, and drank it deliciously.
While eating and drinking, thinking about the future, Mr. Xing De asked Liu Xiaolou about his plans. Liu Xiaolou said: "As a monk, it is natural to focus on cultivation. This junior has been in charge of the sect for more than a year, and now he is still on the third level of Qi Refining. It is inconsistent with the identity of the leader. This junior plans to spend some time in retreat and attack the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible."
Lord Xing De praised: "Practice comes first, this is the right principle. The formation is complete, you can go down the mountain tomorrow morning."
Liu Xiaolou said: "Juniors and seniors are very similar. I want to retreat in the Star Virtue Temple. If I have any difficulties, I can ask for advice at any time. Is that okay?"
Xing Dejun shook his head: "I have something to do and am not on the mountain. You should go back and come back in the future."
The master didn't agree, so Liu Xiaolou had no choice but to drink all the jar of spiritual wine to avoid any regrets.
The next day, Liu Xiaolou said goodbye, and Xing Dejun took out a wooden box: "Xiaolou, we have been friends forever. When we say goodbye, I will give you something, but please don't open it now. Let’s see after we get back to the mountain, okay?”
Liu Xiaolou accepted the gift and said ashamedly: "I don't have anything good to give to you. How about I leave two spiritual stones for my senior?"
After all, Xing Dejun also confiscated his spiritual stone. After the two said goodbye, Liu Xiaolou went down the mountain humming a folk song and returned to Xiangxi.
