Xiao Lin has been very interested in the formation method for a long time and wants to study it carefully.
However, at that time, he was just a foundation-building monk, and his lifespan was only a short two hundred years. At this stage, Xiao Lin spent all his time on cultivation, and was still worried that he would not be able to cultivate at the best age.
Entering the golden elixir stage.
Naturally, there was no extra energy or time to study the formation, and after carefully studying the [Qingluan Immortal Sutra], Xiao Lin obtained the refining method of the Qingluan Ice and Thunder Sword, as well as the sword formation.
Motivational formula.
But being able to use it is one thing. Whether you have a deeper understanding of the principles is another matter. Moreover, this Qingluan Immortal Sutra only talks about the arrangement of formations, changes in the enemy, and emergency response methods.
strategy, there is no detailed explanation of the secrets of the strategy.
After understanding this, Xiao Lin secretly decided that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would buy a book on the inner principles of the formation and study it carefully.
In fact, many immortal cultivators know that only by understanding the profound and mysterious principles of formations can they be able to use them with ease and flexibility. More importantly, whether they are adventuring outside or practicing in seclusion, they must be exposed to some forbidden methods. If they are not
It is basically impossible to understand the profound principles of the formation and try to crack it with brute force.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin picked up the book [Detailed Explanation of the Secrets of Formation], opened the cover, and read it carefully.
When the decadent man with an ordinary appearance saw that Xiao Lin seemed to be interested in his book, his eyes showed hope again.
After reading Youzhan Tea Kung Fu, Xiao Lin closed the cover and picked up another book [Detailed Explanation of the Methods of Formation Changes in Jiugong Jue]. After reading for a while, Xiao Lin closed the book in his hand with a look on his face.
He showed a thoughtful expression.
Xiao Lin glanced at the man, saw his satisfied and hopeful eyes, and asked calmly: "How to sell these two books?"
Xiao Lin pointed to the book [Detailed Explanation of the Mysteries of Formation] on the stall. In Xiao Lin's opinion, these two books are indeed introductory books on formation, and the contents inside are easy to understand. The author of this book also listed
There are many examples to simplify the content of the book.
What's more important is that through these two books, Xiao Lin understood that the person who could write these two books should be a master of formations.
"One hundred low-grade spiritual stones for each book." When the decadent man saw Xiao Lin asking about the price, he immediately said expectantly.
Hearing the price, Xiao Lin frowned slightly. It was not that he thought the price of these two books was expensive, but that they were too cheap. Most of these formation books were devoted to the study of formation methods and had certain knowledge.
Written by the hand of an accomplished man.
Not to mention the content, just the writing process is also a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing. Of course, the explanation of the formation method can also be recorded through jade slips. Jade slips are the easiest way for immortal cultivators to record the formulas.
Convenient method.
The jade slips also have a drawback, that is, they cannot record complex pictures. These two books not only explain the inner principles of the formations in detail, but also depict many formation graphics, and list the gates of life, death and death in detail.
Gates, and their transformation methods.
"If fellow Taoists find it expensive, ninety yuan for a low-grade spirit stone is already the cheapest price. In order to write these formations, my master has..." Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, he was decadent.
The man thought that Xiao Lin was too expensive, so he couldn't help showing a look of panic on his face, and the price dropped from one hundred low-grade spiritual stones to ninety low-grade spiritual stones.
"You mean these formation books were not written by yourself?" After hearing this, Xiao Lin asked in surprise.
"Although I am also familiar with formations, when it comes to writing formations books, I am far behind. These books were written by my master. My master was plotted by an enemy sixty years ago and has been bedridden. These days
In the past ten years, in order to treat our master's injuries, we have almost spent all the savings in the sect, and more than a dozen brothers have left one after another, and now only the next one is left."
"In order to stay alive, my master was seriously injured to write these formations and let me sell them to earn some spiritual stones so that I can buy medicine for my master and his wife."
"So that's it." Xiao Lin finally understood after hearing this. He couldn't help but become a little interested in the master of the decadent monk. In his opinion, someone who could write such a mysterious formation book was very important in the way of formation.
It shouldn't be unknown.
"I bought all these formation law books, but Xiao has one condition, which is to bring Xiao to meet the master." Xiao Lin said.
When he heard that Xiao Lin had bought all the formation books on his stall, the decadent man's face was full of surprise, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he showed a hesitant expression on his face.
"Fellow Taoist, don't worry. Xiao has no ill intentions. It's just that Xiao has been studying a set of sword formations recently. There are quite a few things that he doesn't understand, so he wants to ask his master for advice." Xiao Lin said.
Half truth and half lie, what he said is true, but the real purpose is not all to ask for advice on the doubts in the sword formation.
The decadent man did not agree immediately, but looked at Xiao Lin with a thoughtful expression. He thought about it over and over again. He and his master had been dependent on each other for decades, and now they were living alone. Since the master was seriously injured, he
You can't stay away from going out to experience and earn spiritual stones.
Now in the past few years, he can only rely on his master to compile some formation books. Every day he comes to Dongfang City, sells one or two books to earn spiritual stones, and grabs some elixirs for his master to suppress his injuries.
The decadent man has already lost confidence in the future of his cultivation. He only hopes to accompany his master until he grows old, and then find a quiet place to spend his life.
Since the person in front of him asked to see the master, he was a little worried. If this person was the master's former enemy, if he brought him back rashly, he would be inviting a wolf into the house.
And if he refuses and this person walks away, then the master's elixir for today will be gone again, which will put him in a dilemma for a while, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing the change of expression on the decadent man's face, Xiao Lin could roughly guess the scruples in his heart.
"The reason why Xiao wanted to meet the master was indeed because Xiao was very interested in the art of formations, and through these manuscripts, Xiao guessed that the master must be a master of formations, so he wanted to
Let's have a heart-to-heart talk with him and humbly ask him about the secrets of the formation. He has no other intentions. If fellow Taoist disciples don't believe it, Xiao will have no choice but to leave." After saying this, Xiao Lin turned around and wanted to leave.
"Fellow Taoist, wait a minute." The decadent man called out to Xiao Lin. He was heartbroken. In his opinion, if he didn't open the business again, whether the master could survive the past few days was a matter of two opinions. If this person
It's really just a matter of asking the master for some advice on formation techniques, and it's okay to introduce him to meet the master.
At least with the income from these spiritual stones, the master can continue to be depressed for a while.
Thinking of this, the decadent man showed some determination on his face: "I agree."
Hearing this, the star ring on Xiao Lin's hand flashed slightly, and a linen bag appeared in his hand. It looked bulging and heavy inside, and he threw the bag in his hand to the decadent man.
"Here are 500 low-grade spiritual stones. Buy these two formation books." He put away the [Detailed Explanation of the Mysteries of the Formation] and [The Detailed Explanation of the Formation Changes of the Nine Palaces Technique], and then read them quietly.
A decadent man.
The decadent man was stunned for a moment, put away the spirit stones, and then began to put away the stall without saying anything. After a while of tea, the decadent man had packed up, and then said to Xiao Lin: "Fellow Taoist, please come down with me.
"
Xiao Lin nodded and motioned for the decadent man to lead the way.
Following the decadent man through several streets, the two entered a large number of private houses in the south of the city. Seeing the rows of short wooden houses on both sides, Xiao Lin couldn't help but frown slightly.
The decadent man was an immortal cultivator in the early stages of building a foundation, and he actually lived with a group of ordinary people, which made Xiao Lin feel sad.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also developed a good impression of this decadent man. In order to take care of his seriously injured master, a foundation-building monk was willing to live such a desolate life. Xiao Lin felt overwhelmed by his filial piety.
Passing through the long and narrow streets, the south of the city is home to the mortals in the fairy city. For mortals, they need to eat, drink and have sex. This makes the entire south of the city full of peculiar smell, which makes Xiao Lin frown slightly.
brow.
After walking for about a meal, the decadent man stopped in front of a very dilapidated house.
"Fellow Taoist, come in." The decadent man made an invitation gesture to Xiao Lin, then led the way and walked in.
Xiao Lin followed closely behind. After entering the yard, he found that the yard was not small, about an acre, and it was full of foot-high weeds. It had obviously not been taken care of for a long time.
As soon as he entered the yard, Xiao Lin heard a violent coughing sound coming from the front room, and seemed to hear the movement in the yard.
"Is Huzi back?" came a hoarse voice that was obviously out of breath.
"Master, Hu Zi is back." Hearing the voice, the depressed man's eyes turned red.
Before entering the house, Xiao Lin smelled a strong smell of herbs, and next to the door of the house was an earthen pot for boiling herbs.
Xiao Lin sighed in his heart and sympathized with the two masters and apprentices. The dignified immortal cultivators were reduced to relying on common herbs to maintain their lives. At the same time, Xiao Lin was also curious as to what kind of injury the master of the depressed man suffered.
Could it be that even some of the elixirs used in the world of immortality to treat injuries can’t be cured?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin saw that the depressed man had entered the house, and he followed behind and walked in.
The room was a little dark and very small. In the interior of the room, there was a bed placed against the wall, which was covered by a gauze curtain. However, Xiao Lin, as a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, with his burning eyes,
Naturally, everything in the house can be seen clearly.
