In the past month, Tang Song's main focus has been on refining the formation. The formation disk in his hand is the core of the entire mountain-protecting formation. It must be refined together with Elder Zhao. All the control centers in it require Elder Zhao himself. Participate or even complete it alone under the guidance of Tang Song.
When refining, it was not convenient to use earth fire regularly. He kept running back and forth between Fanghe Peak and Jinting Mountain, using his unique skill of golden elixir cultivation - Longlin Dan Fire. When your cultivation has reached the stage of the late Jindan stage, as a formation master, if you don't know a fire skill, how can you dare to call yourself a master?
But practicing like this is really tiring, and consumes a lot of real energy. After a month, Tang Song's face was all red, the deficiency fire was too strong!
By controlling the formation eye, Elder Zhao can control all five sets of sub-formations, twenty-eight sets of micro-formations, and hundreds of formation disks. Some of the control rights must be given away. It can be said that it is quite complicated for several elders of the Zhao family to control some of the formation effects.
After the formation eye refining was completed, Tang Song immediately summoned Liu Xiaolou to his side and asked him to run around Yangmapo, Zhidunling, Shigu, and Qionghanchi to summarize the refining progress of the ground fire cave entrances. Of course Also includes Banshanping.
It's just that Banshanping is not the main refining place, and he has complete control over the progress, so he mainly travels to the other four places. After a few days, I actually broke my leg running.
"Jiang Feihe completed the Qianyi Palace, Dui Er Palace, and Zhensan Palace in the Xuanshui Formation in the north, the Lingming Fire, Netherworld Fire, and Xuanming Fire in the Lihuo Formation in the south, and the Wansong, Wanvine, and Wanbai in the Eastern Qingmu Formation. Refining ten thousand bamboos..."
"Fucong Lin has already refined the White Tiger and Suzaku from the Western Four Spirit Formation, and the Ten Thousand Flowers from the Eastern Green Wood Formation, and is currently refining the Green Dragon..."
"Diao Daoyi refined the eight palaces of Gen, the second palace of Kun, and the fourth palace of Xun in the northern Xuanshui formation, the black turtles in the western four-spirit formation, and the Jin Geng, Muxu, and Shuigui in the central thick earth formation. He is refining the fire... …”
"Xing Bujiu has refined the Kanyi and Qianliu Palaces of the Northern Xuanshui Formation, the Earthen Armor of the Central Thick Earthen Formation, and the Wanlian of the Eastern Green Wood Formation. He is currently refining the Danming Fire..."
Tang Song asked: "Have all the seven array disks that were sent for verification been modified?"
Liu Xiaolou nodded: "Everything has been changed, and Master Jiang has personally inspected everything."
Tang Song nodded: "That's good... plus the Lijiugong that you and Liu Daoran refined in Banshanping, the nine formations of Xuanshui in the north, the four formations of four spirits in the west, the four formations of Lihuo in the south, the six formations of Qingmu in the east, and the thick formations in the center. The five soil formations should be completed soon! Okay, now you can assemble the large formation and set it up on a trial basis. You keep an eye on each place and must complete it within ten days. If any side fails to hand in, if it is one day late, everyone will be deducted. One less spiritual stone!"
Such a punishment is quite severe. The formation masters participated in refining the formation and worked hard for three or four months, but their income was only a dozen or dozens of spiritual stones as a commission.
Liu Xiaolou didn't know the income of the three golden elixirs of Master Tang, Master Jiang, and Master Long, but a high master like Diao Daoyi only received thirty spiritual stones, and an ordinary formation mage below the foundation level received about fifteen yuan. , one piece will be deducted one day late, and the loss will be considerable.
But Tang Song had no choice. The Zhao family only gave him one hundred and twenty days, one day early and one day late. The rewards and deductions would be calculated from the total basket. He could only ask for this.
Liu Xiaolou immediately informed him of the punishment decision, and everyone worked hard at the fire holes in every place, in full swing.
After notifying Yangmapo and other places, he rushed back to Banshanping and asked Liu Daoran directly: "Brother Daoran, what's the matter? How are the two array plates of the Three Treasures True Yuan Talisman and the Discrete True Fire Talisman going?"
Liu Daoran rubbed his numb cheeks with both hands and replied: "I just finished practicing the Three Treasures True Essence Talisman Array."
Liu Xiaolou breathed a sigh of relief and took the formation disk he handed over and looked up and down: "Brother Daoran, is it that fast? That's good. Our Li Jiugong formation disk should be completed soon, right?"
Liu Daoran shook his head: "How can it be so fast? The discrete true fire talisman hasn't been refined yet."
Liu Xiaolou said: "Yes, isn't it just right to refine the discrete true fire talisman in ten days? Master Tang ordered that the work must be completed within ten days..."
Liu Daoran was stunned: "Within ten days?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "One day later, I will deduct a spiritual stone."
Liu Daoran exclaimed: "Oops!"
Liu Xiaolou was shocked: "What's wrong?"
Liu Daoran spread his footsteps and walked around the entrance of the Earth Fire Cave, as if he was searching for something, but found nothing, or he didn't know what to look for. He said in a panic: "It's over, it's over, what a shame!"
Liu Xiaolou grabbed him and asked, "What happened?"
Liu Daoran said with a sad face: "The Jingyun Talisman is not melted!"
Liu Xiaolou was dumbfounded: "What have you been doing these days? Only completed one array disk? Does it take that long to melt spiritual materials? You are a veteran, Brother Daoran!"
Liu Daoran beat his chest and stamped his feet: "I am refining the Jingyun Talisman Formation Plate!"
Liu Xiaolou was even more surprised: "Are you saying that the Jingyun Talisman has not been melted?"
Liu Daoran said sadly: "I practiced the Jingyun Talisman, but it was a shady one. I just suddenly had a little idea, so I added it and remixed it. The Jingyun Talisman that can be exchanged was not refined... …How many pieces of my spirit stone will be deducted? It’s all in vain, how can I report it to my wife when I get home?”
Liu Xiaolou let him go and sat down on the ground: "It's over, you've done me a disservice this time."
Liu Daoran was speechless: "Brother, how much can you get this time?"
Liu Xiaolou shook his head: "No, Master Tang has never talked to me, but it should be seven or eight yuan... How long will we delay this time?"
Liu Daoran endured the huge heartache and said: "I... will compensate you, but it will take a year, okay?"
Liu Xiaolou was very surprised and looked up at Liu Daoran in disbelief, thinking how could he have this idea and actually want to compensate me?
Suddenly he was very moved and stood up and said: "Let's hurry up and save one spiritual stone one day earlier."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Daoran felt ashamed and started hurriedly: "I am melting the Jingyun Talisman, and my brother is melting the Discrete True Fire Talisman?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "First refine the discrete true fire talismans. I have seen two or even three of them at Diao Daoyi's place refine one formation disk. It can save a lot of time."
"Refining together? How to do it?"
"Place the array plate on the fire mouth, and you and I sit across from each other. You melt the spiritual materials of plants and trees, and I melt the spiritual materials of monsters and beasts. You and I have different true essences. When we are close, there is a resistance effect. The spiritual materials are not easy to blend with each other, and the differences are clear. , much faster.”
"I see, it seems like a carpenter uses a ruler and compass to draw lines?"
"That's the truth."
"Okay, okay, do it now!"
On the fourth day of refining, it was estimated that at least a day and a half had been saved, and the remaining parts could be completed in about two days. They were all handed over to Liu Daoran, while Liu Xiaolou withdrew and hurriedly dealt with the new jade jue. Etched sigil.
But he had to go to Tang Song's side to listen to orders for a period of time every day, which made him even more nervous and had to work all night long. Seeing that the discrete true fire talisman array plate was also completely melted, they worked together to refine the Jingyun talisman array plate.
On the tenth day, Liu Xiaolou came back from Tang Song again. Seeing that Liu Daoran was still busy, he asked, "How many more days will it take?"
Liu Daoran sighed: "Five days..."
Liu Xiaolou sat down weakly and looked at the beads of sweat on Liu Daoran's forehead. He knew that it was not due to busyness, but because of shame and nervousness. He thought for a long time and said, "I won't practice anymore!"
Liu Daoran stopped what he was doing and said in frustration: "What should we do?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "Use the piece you made to practice."
Liu Daoran's heart skipped a beat: "Shameful..."
Liu Xiaolou said: "Let's hand in the work first. When Master Tang is not satisfied with the final inspection, we can call it back and start practicing again. But that won't be a delay. There is no need to deduct spiritual stones."
