In a certain valley, a dozen figures were busy around a high platform. There are no less than a dozen square stone pillars built around the high platform, which are three feet high and covered with dense spiritual patterns.
On top of the stone pillars, there are huge light pillars as thick as buckets rising into the sky, closely integrated with the light curtain in mid-air.
The difference is that the upper end of one of the stone pillars actually shows numerous fine cracks, causing the light pillar formed to be slightly dim.
"Fellow Taoist Mo!" Seeing Mo Juren arriving, Qi Huaiyu was startled for a moment and then greeted him.
"How is the situation?" Mo Juren nodded and asked directly.
"Fellow Daoist Chu and Daoist Xie are studying it carefully. Coupled with the cooperation of other formation masters, I think it shouldn't be a big problem." Qi Huaiyu didn't know for sure, but he saw that the two girls looked relaxed, so he made a guess. Suddenly he thought of something again, and he sighed softly,
"Unfortunately, this formation was set up by the ancestors of the sect thousands of years ago. Most of the related information has been lost for unknown reasons, and the remaining ones were also taken away by the sect's senior officials. Otherwise, there would be no As for being so passive."
In fact, when the sect's senior leaders left, the two clan elders also proposed to make a copy of the relevant information. It's a pity that he was rejected directly. The reason was not stated, but it is not difficult to guess.
The 'Eight Directions Thunder Fantasy Array' is built together with the entire sect and complements each other. Even if you want to take it away, it is impossible. It is estimated that you can only carry part of it.
However, the relevant information about this formation is the core inheritance of the sect, and it is impossible to let it be lost to the outside world, or even eventually be passed on to the two paths of good and evil.
Mo Juren didn't ask any more questions, but walked directly towards the high platform.
At this time, Xie Yuyan was staring at the stone pillar alone. While looking at it, she continued to deduce something while holding a disc-shaped object in her hand. From time to time, she turned her head to discuss a few words with Chu Lingxue beside her.
On the other hand, the dozen or so other formation mages nearby looked at the stone pillars in front of them and couldn't say anything at all.
He did not disturb the two of them, but walked slowly to the stone pillar and observed on his own.
"Fellow Daoist Mo also knows the formation?" Chu Lingxue naturally noticed his appearance and asked with interest.
"I know a little bit about it." Mo Juren nodded slightly. Although he didn't study the formation in depth, he could be regarded as a genuine formation master, at least no worse than the dozen or so people around him. Especially in terms of theory, whether it is the formation inheritance of Fairy Bingpo, the inheritance of Master Xin Ruyin, or even the other party's detailed insights on formations, etc., I have all gained insights.
"Just some superficial information?" Chu Lingxue was doubtful. If it were an ordinary monk, she might have believed it, but the person in front of her could not be judged by common sense. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a monster. The reason for the doubts is entirely due to practical considerations. The other party has to practice and study the talisman at the same time, so he shouldn't have much time and energy to understand the formation, right?
"Then I wonder what Fellow Daoist Mo saw?"
"These twelve formation bases should be related to the key nodes of the formation. The energy generated by the nearly twenty attacks outside has directly affected here."
"What else?" What the other party said is naturally correct, but it is just a superficial appearance. Anyone who is an array mage can basically see it.
"These formation bases are not the main body. There should be another formation disk that serves as the core hub of the twelve formation bases here..."
"And the materials for this formation base. If my guess is correct, it should be mainly Minghuan Stone, with some Raper's Jade mixed in..."
"And the location here is exactly due east. It is the earthquake position in the Bagua, the main thunder and lightning, and it complements the seven formation base groups in other directions..."
"..."
"Are you sure you only know a little bit about it?" After the other party analyzed it, not only Chu Lingxue, but also all the formation mages around her showed surprise.
"It's not a secret matter, why should I lie to you about this?" Mo Juren shook his head slightly, ignored the other party, and turned to look at Xie Yuyan in front of him, who had regained consciousness.
"How is it? Can it be repaired?"
"There is no problem with some simple repairs. It is impossible to restore it to the original state, especially some of the small formations. I am not completely sure."
"It's already good!" After hearing this, Qi Huaiyu suddenly showed a look of surprise. You know, the formation masters next to him didn't even dare to do maintenance, for fear of accidentally making things worse.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, if you have any needs, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to satisfy you."
"The main body of the formation base is Minghuan Stone and Leiper's Jade. I need these two materials." Xie Yuyan answered immediately without hesitation.
However, after hearing this, Qi Huaiyu was a little scratched his head.
Minghuan Stone is better. Although it is valuable, it is relatively abundant in the world of immortality. The key is Leiper's Jade. This top-level material with thunder attributes is definitely priceless but not marketable.
The upper echelon of the sect originally planned to take away all the formation bases together, and the reason for this was also related to the small amount of Raper's Jade mixed in them. The two elders of the Qi family also paid a high price before letting the other party give up.
He didn't hide anything, he told the situation directly and asked if there was anything that could be replaced?
"No, you must use Leiper's Jade to repair the formation base." Xie Yuyan shook her head directly.
"This..." Qi Huaiyu's eyes suddenly showed a hint of anxiety, what should I do? If the formation base cannot be repaired without the Raper's Jade, then wouldn't that be the end of it?
"About how much is needed?" But at this moment, Mo Juren suddenly asked. Upon hearing this, Qi Huaiyu was overjoyed and asked excitedly,
"Friend Daoist Mo, do you have Leper's Jade?"
"There happen to be a few, but the quantity is not large, and I don't know if it is enough." Mo Juren has too many top-quality materials in his hands, and Leiper's Jade is one of them. This is a critical period, so it’s okay to take out some appropriately, as long as it doesn’t affect your own use.
"It doesn't take too much, just a fist-sized piece." Xie Yuyan was also very happy when she heard that there was information and replied directly.
Mo Juren nodded slightly, then moved his palms, and in the flash of blue light, a jade stone the size of a fist emerged, with a trace of electric current on its surface.
"Great!" Qi Huaiyu's face was full of joy, and he quickly patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a large amount of spiritual stones as compensation.
Mo Juren didn't bargain and just collected it.
He handed over Leiper's Jade, and he didn't say anything else. Qi Huaiyu on the side asked again about the required quantity of Minghuan Stone. Right now, all the resources of the Qi family are with him and can be taken out at any time.
Different from Raper's Jade, Minghuan Stone is the main material of the formation base and requires much more quantity. In this regard, Qi Huaiyu did not hesitate at all. He immediately patted the storage bag and took out a sufficient amount of this stone.
The materials were available, but repairs were not started immediately. Xie Yuyan also proposed that a refiner would be needed to carefully process the two materials according to certain specifications.
This is not difficult, there happens to be a master of weapon refining in the Qi family. Qi Huaiyu did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately took out the communication talisman, activated it, whispered a few words, and then threw it out.
"Did Brother Mo Dao receive a profound inheritance of formations?" While waiting, Xie Yuyan suddenly spoke, with undisguised curiosity in her bright eyes. Although most of the other party's previous discussions were common sense, the occasional few words contained some extremely profound theories, which she, as a formation genius, could naturally understand.
"Mo has a good friend who is also very qualified in formations. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a genius. I also received some advice from her." Mo Juren replied half-truthfully.
"I see, I don't know about this friend of my brother's..." Xie Yuyan suddenly became interested.
"What? I heard that he is a genius in formation. You are not convinced and want to have a discussion?" Mo Juren deliberately joked. The latter suddenly looked anxious and waved his hands quickly.
"No, I just want to get to know each other."
"Okay, I'm kidding you." Mo Juren smiled, and then informed the other party of Xin Ruyin's identity. Since they are both array geniuses, it would be good to get to know each other and become friends. At least we can discuss and communicate, which will also be a promotion for both parties.
"It turns out it's her!" The big shopkeeper of the Tianhua Building Head Office has chaired many meetings of the Tianhua Business Alliance, etc. Xin Ruyin is no longer an unknown person in various countries.
Xie Yuyan had heard of the other party, but she didn't expect that he was actually a formation genius.
However, I heard that this woman’s cultivation level is not high and she only seems to be in the Qi training period. Even if she has dabbled in formations for a long time, she cannot achieve much, right?
She couldn't help but have doubts in her heart. It was impossible that Mo Juren didn't know the situation, but he spoke so highly of this Miss Xin. She thought it was not for nothing. If what the other party said is true, wouldn't this woman have higher qualifications in the formation than her?
When she thought of this, she had some expectations in her heart. She must meet the other party when she is free in the future. If he is really such a genius, wouldn't it be better to recommend him to his master? She is the most talented person.
While they were chatting, a ray of light flew towards him very quickly, and it turned out to be an old man in green robes. He should be the weapon-refining master mentioned by the other party.
Naturally, no one needs to worry about the next thing. Xie Yuyan and the old man in green robe are responsible for everything.
The two of them lived up to expectations. They worked together to repair the damaged formation to the maximum extent in just a moment.
At the moment of completion, the original cracks on the surface of the array base had disappeared, and the light beam soaring into the sky became extremely bright, comparable to other light beams around it.
According to Xie Yuyan's explanation, this was the limit of what she could do, and it was because the original injury was not too serious. However, the opponent's next attack will definitely choose the same position, and then there will be nothing you can do. Not only because of the material problem, but also because once the formation is in full operation, it is impossible to repair it midway.
"It doesn't matter, this is pretty good. It's better than being helpless before." Mo Juren took the initiative to comfort him. Everyone thought the same and simply stopped worrying about it.
…
For the next time, both parties were waiting.
During this period, Mo Juren asked Dongmen Yue again and was sure that Gu Shuangpu had set off in time, and he felt relieved. As long as he comes, no matter whether the other party has any thoughts about him or not, he should be cautious in public.
Although I thought so, the uneasiness in my heart never dissipated, and I always felt that something unexpected would happen.
Time passed slowly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone who was meditating and recovering was suddenly startled by a violent roar. Countless eyes looked into the air, looking at the rolling thunderclouds, and they couldn't help feeling frightened.
"So fast!" Qi Huaiyuan, who was meditating cross-legged on a mountain top somewhere, frowned. He thought he could delay it longer, but he didn't expect that the other party had repaired the 'Sun-breaking Boat' so quickly.
But at this moment, Qi Huaiyu's voice suddenly came to his ears. After hearing it, his expression suddenly changed slightly. Instead of continuing to meditate, he directly took up the Escape Light and flew towards the due east.
In the earthquake valley, four figures were sitting cross-legged everywhere. The younger brothers Qi Huaiyu, Mo Juren, Fairy Guanghui and Xie Yuyan were all there. At this moment, they were staring at the twelve formation bases in front of them with solemn expressions.
The attack has begun again, and as explosions are heard from outside, the twelve light pillars on the base of the formation are also flashing, obviously trying their best to resist.
"How is it going?"
"It's very bad." Upon hearing his brother's inquiry, Qi Huaiyu did not hesitate. He immediately waved his arm and cast a water mirror technique, and he immediately saw the situation outside clearly.
At this time, not only was the 'Polish Sun Boat' brewing attacks again and again, but not far from it, there were ten monks in the Danjie stage separated from each other, each holding a strange giant red flag in their hands.
This was obviously some kind of powerful formation, and as the ten people continued to wave, bursts of crimson flames began to appear on the flags, and finally condensed together to form a huge crimson fireball.
"Let go!" As one of them shouted loudly, ten people waved the giant flags in their hands at the same time, and the red fireball turned into a red rainbow and bombarded towards the large formation below.
Not only the sun-breaking boat and the strange formation, but also the other twenty or so monks in the alchemy stage, plus the strong man in the Nascent Soul stage, all used their magic weapons to attack continuously.
"This is a bit troublesome." Inside the formation, Qi Huaiyuan frowned as he looked at the situation in the water mirror. Sure enough, without restraint, the opponent can perform unscrupulously, causing the pressure on the formation to instantly increase.
Turning to look at Chu and Xie, he suddenly asked,
"The two fellow Taoists think that if such a powerful attack continues, how long can the formation last?"
"If there are no accidents, two days should be enough. No more than that, we can't be sure." Xie Yuyan's crystal eyes flashed slightly and she stared at the foundation stone pillar in front of her.
"Two days, that's not bad." After hearing this, Qi Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mo Juren with some uncertainty, and asked about the support again.
"Elder Gu set out three hours ago. With the speed of a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse, half a day should be enough. The support team sent earlier will also arrive in two days." Mo Juren didn't hide it either. replied directly.
"That is to say, you only need to persist for three hours." Qi Huaiyuan nodded slightly, feeling more and more happy in his heart. It's only three hours. With the defensive power of the 'Eight Directions Thunder Fantasy Array', there is absolutely no problem.
On the other hand, Chu Lingxue on the side couldn't help but feel a flash of surprise in her heart when she heard Mo Juren's answer.
Although it is impossible to be sure, I always feel that there is a hint of uncertainty in the other party's tone when answering.
