There are nine levels of formation methods in total, with the first level being the lower level and the ninth level being the upper level.
Drawing a complete formation requires formation patterns, formation plates, formation flags, formation pens and formation sand, all of which are indispensable.
Among them, the array pattern is the core and foundation of the array. The array structure of each array is unique, representing the avenue between heaven and earth, and is the medium through which the array can communicate between heaven and earth.
The formation plate is the carrier of the magic formation. The raw material can be wood, mountain stone, jade, or other materials, as long as it can carry the magic formation. And because of the different specific materials, the levels and types of formations that can be drawn are different. For example, most wooden arrays are naturally compatible with the spiritual power of wood, so drawing wooden arrays is extremely smooth. For another example, there is a tree growing in the mist of the swamp, called smoke wood. This tree is an excellent formation board for drawing a trap-like psychedelic array.
The formation flag is a blank formation flag made from monster animal skin through special techniques. Most of it is no more than the size of a palm. It is an auxiliary item for laying out the formation. The formation flag is divided into a child formation flag and a child formation flag to assist the formation layout. Formation, the mother formation flag can control the child formation flags, and the formation disk can control the child and mother formation flags.
The array pen is a special tool for drawing arrays. It has a unique shape. One end is like a brush, which is dipped in array sand to draw array patterns on the array flag. The other end is a sharp carving knife, which is used to carve array patterns on the array plate.
The formation sand is a special cinnabar used to draw formation patterns. It is different from the red cinnabar used by Talisman Masters. It is silver in color and the main material is a spiritual grass called silver shuttle grass.
The other three arts require no less items than the formation. Every monk knows something about the four arts of cultivation, but there are very few monks who can truly reach the level of the four arts.
Monk practice has always been a race against time. Time is not enough to improve cultivation, understand spells, and understand the great ways, let alone spend time on other things.
Furthermore, when cultivating a skill, before it can enter the level of quality, it is almost like throwing a spiritual stone into the water and there will be no splash. Only the spiritual stone will go out and not come back.
In this world, nine out of ten people are mediocre, those with talent are only a minority, and those with perseverance are also a minority.
Fortunately, Lingchu worked as an apprentice with Elder Su. Not only did he receive contribution points every month, Elder Su also provided practice materials.
Otherwise, with Lingchu's wealth, he would have become a poor man after buying a complete set of formation materials.
However, she couldn't always use Elder Su's materials for free. Even if Elder Su didn't say anything, Lingchu would be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Lingchu thought of the spiritual wine she had planted more than a year ago. She relied on this batch of spiritual wine to make her fortune before relying on formation techniques.
Speaking of spiritual wine, Lingchu immediately thought of the first wine in Luotian's wine list, bamboo marrow and jade wine. The sect is worthy of being a ten thousand-year-old sect. The bamboo forest in her small green bamboo courtyard has many centuries-old spiritual wine. Bamboo, it’s just that she was a bit naive after all. After having Lingzhu, Lingchu excitedly inquired about the other ingredients of bamboo marrow and jade wine, but sadly found that with her wealth, she couldn’t buy it all even if she lost all her money.
To this day, Yue Yue Yue Guang still hasn't bought the main materials. Apart from a few emergency spiritual stones, she has nothing left on her body.
The contribution point is also the same. Every month, the earth fire chamber is supplied, and the beast spirit pills are exchanged for the spirit beasts to help Qingkong improve his cultivation. Every month, he cannot make ends meet.
Lingchu felt more and more that he was going further and further down the road of lack of money.
Su Ziwei finished decomposing a basic first-grade spell formation. When she looked up, she saw that the clear eyes of the girl in cyan robes were slightly blurred. She was obviously distracted. Her brows instantly condensed. She stretched out her slender hand and flicked the girl's plump and white hair with a flick of her finger. forehead.
"The soul is back!"
"Ouch." Lingchu whispered, and subconsciously covered his forehead with his hands. Jin Dan's flick, even if it didn't use much force, should not be underestimated.
Touching her forehead, Lingchu knew without looking that it was red, and a slight burning sensation told her.
Su Zi's slightly dark eyes were somewhat wandering. In the past, her master loved to flick her forehead like this. Today, without knowing it, she herself flicked Lingchu's forehead.
It is really dark to be close to the ink. I think I have fallen.
Su Zi sighed secretly, but she felt that she was definitely not an unscrupulous person like her master. After thinking about it, she finally explained, "I'm sorry, it's my first time hitting someone's forehead. I have no experience. I won't do this next time."
first? inexperienced? next time?
Lingchu wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Ahem," Xu Shi understood Lingchu's eyes. Su Ziwei moved her fingertips guiltily and changed the subject, "This matter is not important. Do you remember the Ten Thousand Wood Formation patterns I just told you? Yes? Especially some of the error-prone lines, did you hear clearly?"
When it comes to formations, the entry-level formation is generally the Five Elements formation.
The Ten Thousand Wood Array is one of the wooden arrays. It is just a small array of the first grade. The array patterns are not complicated, there are only nine. The difficulty is that each array pattern is different. It neither looks like words nor a painting. , they must be arranged in a specific order, especially where the formation patterns intersect, which can easily cause spiritual instability and eventually lead to failure.
"Remember." Lingchu had already studied the detailed explanation of the first-grade formation patterns given by Elder Su, which also contained Elder Su's annotations.
Elder Su marked the places that needed attention in great detail.
"Then give it a try."
Su Ziwei touched the ground with her bare hands, and there were no less than ten sets of blank formation plates, formation flags, and formation sand, all neatly arranged.
"Today, let's draw ten sets first. When the success rate reaches 50%, we can then practice the next formation." Su Ziwei left the task and left, sitting back on the futon to continue studying the ancient formation.
Lingchu picked up a formation plate, held the formation pen in his hand, and concentrated on it. He was not in a hurry to draw the formation patterns. Instead, he carefully recalled the nine formation patterns in his mind, making sure that he remembered each formation pattern clearly. .
Finally, I gathered my spiritual power on the tip of the pen and knife, and started drawing with a steady hand and a calm mind.
The Ten Thousand Wood Formation is a wood-based formation, and Lingchu controls the spiritual power to draw it, which is quite smooth.
Most of the formation patterns were those of heaven and earth. Lingchu recalled the patterns of the formation while steadily injecting spiritual power.
At the end of one formation and the beginning of the second formation, where the two formations met, Lingchu increased his concentration, but he still felt that the two spiritual powers under his pen were colliding, and the spiritual power that had always been stable began to fluctuate.
There was a faint trend of saturation. Lingchu's expression changed and he quickly collected some spiritual power. Unexpectedly, the originally swollen spiritual power suddenly disappeared on the array disk. Instead, Lingchu withdrew his spiritual power. On the plate, the formation patterns suddenly became uneven in spiritual power.
The formation pattern flashed with inspiration, and finally extinguished and dimmed.
Failed.
Lingchu glanced at the array disk that could no longer be used with pity, feeling heartache in his heart.
Even the lowest level formation disk costs ten low-grade spiritual stones.
After silently reciting the Purification Sutra, Lingchu put down the failed formation and calmed down the feeling of heartache. He was not in a hurry to continue practicing. Instead, he closed his eyes and recalled the place where he had just failed.
Thinking about how to solve it, the pen in his hand turned unconsciously, sketching in the empty air.
