Time flies.
Tu Yunju's life seemed to be on track. Jiang Yun would carve a wooden sculpture every two or three days.
Five days later, Mr. Wei came to the door with two friends.
After meeting the "Five Ladies" in the Wei Mansion, they were naturally curious about this thirteen-year-old woodcarving master.
The three people praised the wood carvings carved by Jiang Yun, and one of them directly bought the only two wood carvings. Another even customized several new wood carvings and paid a large deposit.
Xu Tuzi's face was distorted by a smile, so he took his apprentice and taught him how to practice.
With the publicity of Mr. Wei and Master Lin, Tu Yunju's reputation quickly spread throughout Jingyu District. Everyone became curious about this young talented craftsman, and many customers came to Tuyun for a while.
In these tense and fulfilling days, Jiang Yun had already mastered the mental technique of practicing Wood Spirit Art.
In half a month, his Dantian gradually became filled with aura, and he truly entered the first of the five acquired realms: the Qi Controlling Realm.
After reaching the Qi Controlling Realm, you can absorb and breathe out spiritual energy through the meridians when running the Wood Spirit Art.
And only when the Dantian is completely activated and can slowly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without using the mental method, it will officially enter the next state, the Qi Fusion state.
In the small courtyard.
Xu Tuzi explained carefully, "The basis of the formation is formation patterns. Each formation pattern with various functions can form an array independently, and can also be connected to the base of the formation to form the final formation. At this time, as long as energy is injected, The formation will work."
"What we practice today is to outline the formation pattern."
"Strictly speaking, you can get started with the outline of the array pattern very quickly, because it is similar to the technique you use when carving wood carvings. The only and biggest difficulty is that you need to inject spiritual energy when engraving the array pattern to ensure that the spiritual ink is fully drawn before it is fully outlined. activity.”
"And what complements this is that your engraving speed needs to be as fast as possible!"
Jiang Yun, who seemed to understand but not understand, held the pen in his hand. This pen cost him ten gold cakes. It is said that the hair is made from the hair of ferocious beasts in the acquired realm, and the pen barrel is polished from animal bones.
It is supplemented by ink specially made from spirit sand animal blood.
“Too much talk is useless, practice speaks.”
Xu Tuzi pointed at one of the one hundred and eight basic formation patterns on the basis of the formation, "Your mission today is this. The function of this first formation pattern is to release energy after it is successfully engraved, so that your formation base can be released." The spiritual energy in it is released.”
"After all, you are the first to inscribe it. It is very normal to fail three or five times. Keep your hands steady later, remember the details of each failure, and avoid doing it again next time."
"I was the master...although I succeeded in the first try, I was never proud."
"You may not have such outstanding talents as the master, but don't be discouraged. Diligence can make up for your shortcomings, and you will gradually get better in the future."
Jiang Yun nodded very seriously.
He breathed softly to relieve the pressure, and picked up the small stone cauldron he had carved with his left hand.
The engraving of formation patterns should be practiced on animal skins or talisman paper with spiritual energy, so that the engraving can be successful more quickly.
However, Jiang Yun felt that he might have a better grasp of wood and stone, and if he set up a formation in the future, he would like to use his own wood carvings and stone carvings as much as possible.
So he didn't choose talisman paper, but used his own stone carving.
Although the stone carvings are small, the stone materials are extraordinary.
This stone is called Yu Stone, and it is a companion of another very rare ore.
In the circle of formation practitioners, Yu Shi is an excellent entry-level formation base material. First, the price is not expensive, and second, storing spiritual energy in it can become a very useful source of spiritual energy for formations.
A small Yu stone cost Jiang Yun ten silver cakes.
Fortunately...he is rich now.
Dip the talisman pen in ink and tap it lightly on the small stone cauldron.
At the same time, traces of spiritual energy formed from Jiang Yun's fingertips, flowing and pouring into the ink.
The ink nourished by spiritual energy was suddenly filled with spirituality like a fish leaping through a dragon's gate. Jiang Yun did not dare to delay and immediately sketched according to the pattern of the formation. The sketching speed was neither fast nor slow. He was steady and at the same time firmly controlled the output of spiritual energy.
The central part of the long line needs to increase the spiritual energy input, otherwise it will break after three or two uses.
The spiritual energy output needs to be reduced at the corners of the array pattern, otherwise an explosion will occur if the spiritual energy is too strong.
Jiang Yun followed the precautions mentioned by his master and inscribed them step by step, and there was never any sudden collapse of the formation pattern.
For some reason, Jiang Yun always felt that his sketches were very smooth.
Not only was it the control of the amount of spiritual energy in certain parts of the formation, but the most important thing was the feeling the formation gave him as a whole.
It seems as if it has been sketched out thousands of times in my memory, and I have already memorized this formation pattern by heart.
After thinking about it, I think it was probably the foundation I laid from my childhood sculpting. These foundations allowed him to quickly find the feeling when inscribing the formation patterns.
When the last outline was completed, Jiang Yun immediately picked up the pen.
receive!
The completed formation is like the finishing touch.
A dry well not only came back to life, but also quickly found a source of spiritual energy to release. Even though Yu Shi itself can store spiritual energy, all the spiritual energy in the formation base is released at an extremely fast speed.
"Master." Jiang Yun asked in a low voice, "Am I successful?"
Xu Tuzi looked at his apprentice strangely, coughed twice and said, "Yes, your talent is not much worse than that of my teacher, and your future achievements will definitely be as good as my teacher's. But remember not to be arrogant, young people, impetuousness is a big mistake taboo."
"Yes, Master." Jiang Yun said enthusiastically, "Then I will outline it again. If it still succeeds, I will try the next formation pattern."
"It's very good not to be arrogant or impatient." Xu Tuzi pretended to smile calmly and nodded.
But at this moment, Liu Yiyi, who was helping to look after the store, suddenly ran into the courtyard.
"Uncle Master! Master Wei is here."
When he heard that his rich man was coming, Xu Tuzi hurriedly went to greet him, and he did not forget to tell Jiang Yun, "You continue to practice your work. Cultivation must come first."
Jiang Yun nodded.
Although the master seems to be extremely greedy for money, he never regards himself as a tool to make money.
Instead, he helped Jiang Yun explain his experiences on the path of practice more often and urged Jiang Yun to practice every day. Only after practicing for two or three days can you allow yourself to carve properly and relax.
Whether a person treats himself well or not, and what he thinks in his heart, can be felt in the details.
Liu Yiyi watched her uncle go to the front and ran over curiously to observe Jiang Yun's practice.
"Senior brother, is it difficult to carve the formation pattern?"
Jiang Yun nodded and said with a sincere expression, "It's still very difficult. There are a lot of things that need to be paid attention to. But fortunately, I have the basics of carving, so I can get started quickly with inscribing formation patterns."
Liu Yiyi, who had been with the sword all day, immediately became interested, "Then you can engrave another one for me to take a look at."
"good."
. . .
Xu Tuzi glanced at everyone and found Mr. Wei sitting in the guest seat with a frown and a gloomy expression.
Beside him, in addition to Butler Wei, there was also a girl in purple clothes wearing a veil. The girl had a slim figure and a curvy figure. A sword behind her was pointing diagonally at the ground.
Why do you feel like this girl is a good match for your apprentice?
Ahem.
Butler Wei also looked unhappy, but when he saw Xu Tuzi, he still smiled politely.
"Mr. Wei, what are you doing?" Xu Tuzi asked suspiciously.
Usually when Mr. Wei comes to buy art, his face is red and he is cheerful all day long, as if nothing can make him worry.
It’s the first time I’ve seen him look gloomy today.
Mr. Wei adjusted his mood and said with serious eyes, "Taoist Master Xu Tu, I came here this time to ask you to go to the house last time to set up another formation."
"Oh? Could it be that there was a flaw in the eight-pole light array before?" Xu Tuzi was confused. There should be no quality issues with his eight-pole light array.
"this..."
Mr. Wei hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to reject the servants on his left and right.
"To be honest with Shopkeeper Xutu, not only does the Eight-Jiu Light Array have no flaws, it actually has very good defense." Mr. Wei leaned forward slightly and whispered.
"Shopkeeper Xu Tu should also know that I bought that house newly."
Xu Tuzi nodded. He had visited the specific location of Wei Mansion once in the past few days. It was more majestic than the newly purchased small house.
I remember that the last time I went there, I met Mr. Wei’s fourth concubine and his eight children. In terms of servants, Wei Mansion has more than a hundred!
"The newly bought small house is not for me to live in, but for my little niece to live in."
The purple-clothed girl who had been silent behind Mr. Wei bowed slightly to Xu Tuzi. She had an elegant appearance and had obviously received a good education.
It's not like that wild girl Yiyi, who was let go by an old drunkard.
"Last night, assassins actually attacked that small house! They wanted to do evil to my little niece!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Wei looked fierce, "Martial God City is guarded by three forces: the Sky Patrol, the Earth Network, and the City Lord's Mansion. Those thieves actually dared to openly attack the formation, trying to break through it."
"What!" Xu Tuzi looked at the girl in purple in shock.
As the first city in the northwest and the hometown of Martial God, the highest commander of the Sky Patrol, Martial God City can be said to be the safest city in the entire northwest.
The three major forces are stationed in Wushen City. The Xuntian Supervisor supervises the various sects and those with advanced cultivation in the world of cultivation, the Diwang supervises all practitioners of the five acquired realms, and the City Lord’s Mansion supervises all mortals.
The three forces respect the Xuntianjian and communicate with each other as one body.
District 16 is full of branches under the jurisdiction of the three major forces.
Once there is movement, support will be on the scene quickly.
Of course, no matter how safe a place is, someone will commit a crime, and you can hear people talking about this kind of thing every now and then.
However, those thieves dared to openly destroy the formation and commit murder in Wushen City and still managed to escape! He is definitely not an ordinary thief!
"Fortunately, Shopkeeper Xutu's formation was very strong and blocked the thieves' attack. Diwang soon discovered that there was a battle wave and arrived and forced the thieves back. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous." Mr. Wei obviously cares for his little niece. , at this time, he felt the same fear on his face.
"Although nothing happens, the thieves will inevitably come back, so today I specially asked shopkeeper Xu Tu to arrange a stronger formation."
Xu Tuzi was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "Then why doesn't Mr. Wei let the young lady go to the Wei Mansion to stay temporarily?"
The Wei Mansion's formation was custom-made by Mr. Wei at a large cost to the formation sect. Unless it is a monk in the innate realm, it will be difficult to destroy it no matter how many practitioners in the acquired realm.
"There are too many people to squeeze in." Mr. Wei looked deeply at Xu Tuzi.
Many people?
Only a ghost can believe it!
Xu Tuzi immediately understood that perhaps the Wei Mansion might be less safe because of the large number of people.
