Formation masters can be said to be the rarest, solitary, and difficult group of special monks in the world of cultivation, just as the formations they have carefully studied are the same.
If every formation mage wants to be successful, he must possess three elements. The first is to be able to endure loneliness, the second is to have enough talent, and the third is to have enough luck.
The arrangement of the formation is not always smooth sailing. Once it fails, it is very likely that the spiritual materials will explode due to loss of control of spiritual power. Naturally, the formation master who is involved in the formation cannot avoid it.
In the history of the world of cultivation, there are not a few formation masters who have fallen in this way, including some experienced and long-famous formation masters from famous sects.
For this reason, among the six arts of cultivation, the inheritance of formations is the rarest. Except for some famous sects with a long history, only a few can master it.
Even the expedition team, which has existed for more than a thousand years, only has three or five unsystematic inheritance jade slips, which has resulted in never cultivating a true formation master.
This has always been the biggest regret of the expedition team elders. This time, after receiving the news that an array master was born in the cave, he decisively dispatched the sixth team, which had no mission at the moment, to explore.
Even though they knew the difficulty and danger of exploring the array master's cave, they did not hesitate to do so. If not all the other top-ranked teams had missions, the Presbyterian Council would definitely choose stronger monks to come.
Of course, both effort and reward are equal. Although the cultivation of an array master is quite difficult, once successful, the benefits obtained are also extraordinary.
In the market, the price of a set of the simplest set of second-level low-grade formation flags is more than 300 yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones, and it is always in a very popular state.
In addition, whether it is each family, sect or even some casual cultivators occupying the land of spiritual veins, they need to arrange some defensive formations according to local conditions.
Every time the formation master makes a move, depending on the level of the formation, he can earn at least 800 to 1,500 mid-grade spiritual stones, or some precious spiritual materials, elixirs, etc. In short, the reward is quite considerable.
Rich.
In addition to all kinds of dangerous formations, every formation master's cave also has abundant harvests. After understanding the exploration goals, all the monks present smiled with satisfaction.
The sixth team is the most embarrassing existence in the entire expedition team. Every time it performs an expedition mission, the difficulty is relatively small, and the rewards are also the least.
It is obvious that this cannot satisfy the desire gap that can never be filled in the monk's heart. Moreover, the difficulty of any task in the expedition team is relative, and the danger and casualties will not necessarily be smaller.
What's more, they are both late-stage Foundation Establishment monks, and the gap between each minor level is actually not that big. These arrogant monks will not bow their heads and admit defeat easily.
This time exploring the Array Master's cave is a good opportunity for the sixth team to prove themselves, provided that they successfully explore and return with a full harvest.
"The Presbyterian Council has finally looked at me for once. The Array Master's Cave is a big mess. If we can get one or two array weapons from it, this trip will be truly worthwhile."
"Array weapons are just some spiritual materials and spiritual weapons. The most important thing is the spiritual elixir that can help improve your cultivation. Your own cultivation is always the most important."
"Spiritual weapons, spiritual materials, and elixirs are important, but the real value is the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can increase the success rate of condensing golden elixirs. If you don't condense elixirs, you are just an ant after all."
Some familiar monks in the sixth team kept discussing. As a newcomer, Zhao Shoushou did not join in hastily. Instead, he listened carefully and absorbed some information that might be helpful for the next exploration.
The so-called array devices are actually treasures that are placed at the core of each second-level spiritual array after it is formed to suppress and enhance the power of the entire spiritual array.
Of course, there is no such treasure in the array arranged by the array flag. Since this is the cave of an array master, there will definitely be no shortage of some chain arrays.
Considering the wealth of an array master, he would naturally not be reluctant to part with an array weapon if he had enough energy to spare. This also meant that every time an array was broken, it was possible to obtain a good-quality treasure.
"There are naturally some treasures in the array master's cave. Don't forget the dangers involved. Don't waste your life because of the treasures. In addition, the Presbyterian Council only provided the approximate location. We are waiting for the first mission.
It is necessary to confirm the location of the cave as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams." Team leader Wang Hongyuan was quite calm.
Today, when all kinds of resources are increasingly scarce, the emergence of every ancient cave will cause a large number of monks to compete for it, and the expedition team can only grasp some information in advance.
If the cave cannot be completely destroyed before a large number of monks arrive, and the treasures inside can be collected and evacuated as soon as possible, it will definitely turn into a chaotic battle.
This kind of situation has not happened before in the history of the expedition team. Currently, the most important thing for the sixth team is time.
After pouring a lot of cold water on it, Liu Hongyuan took out a rather exquisite compass-like treasure from his arms. It was a compass unique to the expedition team and specially used to confirm the position of the formation.
It is through this kind of treasure that the expedition team can repeatedly discover ancient caves that have never been born. It is the right time to use them here.
"Please ask the captain to assign tasks." The seven monks bowed and asked.
"No. 1 and No. 2 patrol within a hundred miles. If any monks are found, they will be killed immediately."
"No. 3 and No. 4 search for nearby sea beasts and confirm the location of the cave through the traces of sea beasts."
"No. 5, No. 6, No. 7, follow the compass to find the cave and be on guard."
Liu Hongyuan is quite familiar with this system. The tasks of everyone are naturally divided according to their strength. As newly promoted monks, Zhao Shoushou and Hu Jingzhi are ranked No. 6 and No. 7 respectively.
The monks who were members of the expedition team moved very quickly, and the entire expedition was carried out in an orderly manner. With the help of the compass, the search for the cave was not too difficult. About half an hour later, Zhao Shoushou and others had already appeared.
In front of a huge underwater rock.
The boulders are straight up and down, flat and smooth, with no unevenness on the surface. Most of them are sunk into the mud of the seabed. At first glance, there is no spiritual power at all, and it doesn't look like a cave at all.
location.
"This is the formation master's cave? No spiritual power is leaked at all? Could it be that this is an illusion?"
"Peering through a leaf reveals the whole picture. Our opponent is a formidable entity."
"Stop being verbose here, quickly prepare to break the formation flag. Whether it is a mule or a horse, we will find out today." Under Ma Hongyuan's command, eight monks stood in fixed positions holding a red flag.
