On the ground around Ziyanling Mountain, a busy figure can always be seen during this period.
Yan was not very good at formations. Before meeting Yao, he could only rely on his own divine vision to arrange some simple mazes and traps based on the trend of the earth's veins.
Now, because of previous exchanges with Yao, I have learned some formation knowledge passed down from ancient times from him.
But overall, Yan's understanding of formations is still relatively simple.
But even so, he has no intention of cheating on the Formation Flame on Ziyanling Mountain.
On the one hand, he doesn't know everyone in the formation field; on the other hand, this is his own cave after all, and he doesn't trust others to fake it.
Because he knew his level, Yan did not intend to make the formation too complicated this time and only focused on two aspects.
As a formation to protect the cave, defense is naturally indispensable. Yan also attaches great importance to this aspect. This is a guarantee for the safety of the cave.
Because the formation knowledge he learned from Yao was more inclined to earth elements, coupled with his own divine eye advantage. Therefore, Yan worked tirelessly to travel thousands of miles around the surrounding mountains and rivers to observe Feng Shui and the earth's veins, hoping to use this to build a large earth defensive spiritual formation on it.
In Yan's vision, this formation usually shows no power and is hidden deep in the earth's veins. It mainly focuses on polishing the formation base and accumulating strength. It only maintains a part of the early warning and the basic defense on Zi Yanling Mountain.
When encountering the enemy's attack, the formation's power will be fully activated. Relying on the long-term accumulated power in the earth's veins, its defense range can quickly spread to a radius of thousands of miles.
Generally speaking, this formation does not have much ingenuity. Even in order to adapt to the power of the earth's veins, it can be said to be very crude to a certain extent, and even has many loopholes.
But when Yanbu set up this formation, he did not want to rely on the power of the formation itself. He mainly wanted to rely on the power of the surrounding heaven, earth, nature and time.
In the long-term process of changes in the earth's veins, while the formation continues to accumulate strength, it can slowly become one with the heaven and earth under the polishing of nature.
In this process, with the help of the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the omissions left by Yan Yin's lack of knowledge about formations when setting up the formations will be naturally and slowly adjusted and made up for.
As a result, the formation will become more and more perfect and mysterious, and even as time goes by, the accumulation will become thicker and thicker.
It can be said that when he arranged this formation, he never intended to show too much his shallow formation methods. He just wanted to take advantage of the situation and polish the formation with the natural power of heaven and earth.
Therefore, this formation may seem simple, but it is not simple at all. Most immortals may not be able to arrange it for someone with a natural eye like Wu Yan.
In addition to this earth element defensive spiritual formation, Yan also plans to use the characteristics of the purple jade cliff on Zi Yanling Mountain to absorb the purple energy of the morning sun to arrange an attack formation.
After all, in a prehistoric world, if you only have defense, you will inevitably be trapped in one place, and eventually you will find a loophole or a method of restraint to break through.
But if there is a powerful attack method as a deterrent on the basis of defense, things will become completely different.
The reason why Yan wanted to rely on the Chaoyang Purple Qi to arrange the attack formation was because of the terrain advantage. On the other hand, it is also because he has absorbed the purple energy of the morning sun for a long time and understands this kind of vitality of heaven and earth very well.
Moreover, the Chaoyang Purple Qi originates from the sun star and belongs to the fire element. For Yan, who has the magical power of sitting on fire and controls the divine flame of merit, this formation is also complementary to each other.
However, although he has this idea, currently, Yan does not have very good inspiration or clues on how to set up the formation.
Therefore, his main focus now is basically on the defensive spiritual formation. This is also the most urgent point in Ziyanling Mountain now.
As time passed, as Yan became more familiar with the surrounding mountains and ground, the changes in the terrain and mountains became clear to his mind, and the layout plan for the defensive spiritual array began to gradually take shape in his mind.
After the spiritual array layout plan matured, Yan returned to the Ziyan Spirit Mountain again.
He took out the spiritual soil obtained from various earth veins and spiritual apertures during this period, used his own essence, blood and rootless water, and then repeatedly burned and refined it with the fire of merit, and finally obtained nine simple square tripods.
Looking at the nine square tripods still emitting fire in front of him, Yan nodded with satisfaction, but the movements in his hands shot out a series of spiritual lights without stopping.
Following Yan's movements, the fairy spirit energy in his body was continuously drawn out, leaving exquisite patterns on the tripod according to mysterious trajectories.
As there were more and more such patterns, the simple and thick square tripod gradually gained charm, and an earthy yellow light began to shine through, getting brighter and brighter.
The movements on Yan's hands became faster and faster, and his expression became more and more serious. When Fang Ding was completely covered by mysterious figures, the movements on his hands suddenly stopped.
"Buzz!"
A melodious and thick hum sounded from the square tripod, and then the khaki light on the tripod suddenly lit up, and then suddenly shrank.
"It's done!"
Yan Huan looked at the simple-looking Fang Ding in front of him, with its surface densely covered with mysterious patterns. He felt indescribable joy in his heart and could not hide the joy in his eyes.
Although the light of the nine square tripods in front of me has been dimmed, the aura on them can be seen with the naked eye. They are a set of 100% magic weapons.
Although it is just a set of array magic weapons that are not even spiritual treasures, this should be regarded as the first magic weapon made by Yan himself.
Although he had made things like magic lamps, Fuchen and Yin-Yang portals in the past, the power they exerted was not even inferior to Lingbao.
However, it relies more on the power of the materials themselves such as the divine fire of merit and the body of the tree demon, and its production method is extremely crude.
If the material is replaced by ordinary spiritual materials, I am afraid that we can only make some mortal weapons such as magic weapons.
The current nine square tripods are completely different.
They are the culmination of Yanji's own weapon refining and formation methods, and are refined with the most common spiritual soil. The reason why it can become a magic weapon can be said to be entirely due to Yan.
Seeing the nine square tripods overflowing with aura and showing no signs of being lost in the spirit, Yan didn't feel the slightest disdain. Instead, he held them in his hands and played with them repeatedly with great interest.
After playing with it with great interest for a long time, Yan finally put down the tripod.
After that, Yan Qi picked out a piece of purple jade with the strongest aura from the top of the mountain, and cut it into jade tablets of different shapes and sizes.
Then, Yan followed this method and inserted talismans into these jade tokens one by one, and finally obtained as many purple jade tokens as there were in the world.
"We can start setting up the formation!"
After all the array preparations were completed, Yan stood up, stretched, and said to himself.
Yan had already made plans on how to set up the formation. At this time, the formation equipment was complete, so he did not delay any longer and went directly to the bottom of the mountain in one step.
