"Comprehensive Collection of Five Element Formations" He stayed in the bald old man's yard for several days at a time. A few days' effort was nothing to a foundation-building monk. If it weren't for Chen Guolao's injury, Lu Xiaotian would have stayed a few more days.
.But it doesn’t matter, Chen Guolao’s family will not leave Wangyue City for the time being. After all, the situation has become increasingly tense recently, and there is also chaos outside Wangyue City. Their enemies are not small in power, so it is quite risky to go out rashly.
Through Chen Guolao's explanation, Lu Xiaotian gained a general understanding of the formation. After returning to his small courtyard, in addition to giving the little fire crow some fire-type beast spirit pills, Lu Xiaotian devoted himself to the "Five Elements Formation"
"Encyclopedia". According to Chen Guolao, the formation is so vast and vast that it can exhaust a person's life and it is difficult to see the whole picture. But in the final analysis, it is the use of various forces, guided by the situation, and using the power of the five elements.
Using the power of wind, thunder, ice, etc., and supplemented by the methods of the formation master, these natural forces in the cultivation world can be used for one's own purposes, which can be used to attack, defend, and trap the enemy.
Those skilled formation masters can even use their astonishing methods to mobilize the power of the five elements of heaven and earth, possessing unpredictable magical powers. The formations in ancient times can even kill Nascent Soul monks with ease. Take a closer look at the city defense formation of Wangyue City
, dozens of Jindan monks can't break through it in a short period of time. The power that the formation can achieve even far exceeds the individual's strength.
Lu Xiaotian does not fully agree with this. No matter how strong the formation is, except for a very small number of naturally formed formations, the others are still refined by humans. The reason why the formation cannot be broken is because of insufficient strength. However, it is undeniable that
Formation is indeed an excellent way for the weak to defeat the strong. Chen Guolao's son was previously attacked by six men of a short, fat man. With an imperfect seven-star formation, he was able to block an attack several times his own.
The enemies in particular have the upper hand, which shows how powerful their formation is.
The real seven-star formation cannot be broken even by the opponent's alchemy weapon. Even a first-level foundation-building monk can easily kill a powerful late-stage foundation-building monk. The incomplete seven-star formation was created by Chen Guolao.
After replacing the real Seven-Star Formation with the Soul-Nursing Pill and the Foundation-Building Pill, it took a lot of effort to refine it for self-protection. It is precisely because of this that Lu Xiaocai attaches great importance to this family's attainments in the formation.
, the facts proved that his choice was not wrong.
According to Chen Guolao, due to the limited energy of each person, most formation masters will choose to focus on one series of formations for in-depth study after initially understanding the principles of using the power of the five elements, even if it is only one formation.
A genius may know more deeply, but he will still choose two or three of them. He will bite off more than he can chew.
After initially dabbling in formations, Lu Xiaocai realized that Chen Guolao was not bluffing him. The same formation, when used by different formation masters, would have different power and size. This is because each formation master faces different opponents.
The degree of understanding of the method is different. Studying some powerful formations requires repeated deductions and calculations with the spiritual consciousness. This kind of deduction consumes the most spiritual consciousness.
After first learning that the requirements for playing against a mage were high, Lu Xiaotian also had some thoughts of giving up. Chen Guolao's worry was not unreasonable. Studying formations does take up a lot of one's time and is more complicated than he originally thought.
More. However, in order to build more pills in the future, Lu Xiaotian can only grit his teeth and persist for the time being. Fortunately, his spiritual consciousness is consumed much more, and there are soul nourishing pills. He does not need to be like other formation mages who consume too much spiritual consciousness.
He needs to stop and rest, or the time to stop and rest is much shorter, and using the deputy soul to deduce the formation will not delay his usual affairs. Maybe when he uses the Mystery Splitting Technique to practice the third path,
Even with the fourth soul, he can even allocate more energy. After all, he only needs one soul for normal cultivation, but other souls can be free.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little excited. If this was the case, wouldn't it mean that after dozens or hundreds of years, his attainments in formations would gradually improve?
However, when a tall building rose from the ground, Lu Xiaotian opened the "Encyclopedia of Five Elements Formations" and started from the first-order formations of the earth element. There are many types of formations, but Lu Xiaotian particularly emphasized the need to learn the five elements formations, so Chen Guolao directly
I gave him this formation manual.
There are no other worries. In addition, if there is anything you don’t understand about the formation in Wangyue City, you can ask Chen Guolao at any time. Lu Xiaotian has no plans to return to Lingxiao Palace for the time being. In addition to practicing and consolidating his cultivation every day,
Therefore, I will spend a certain amount of time studying the gray stone, and the remaining time will be spent refining elixirs and studying formations with Chen Guolao.
The days were extremely fulfilling. One day, Lu Xiaotian was meditating in the small courtyard as usual, and a transmission note flew over, "Friend Lu, there will be a large-scale auction in Wangyue City tomorrow. Are you interested in participating? If so, I will send someone to invite you."
Post it and send it.”
The transmission talisman was sent by Wang Defeng. Several transmission talismans were sent in succession in the past few days. However, since the incident with the scribe named Fan occurred some time ago, Lu Xiaotian was cautious and did not reply to Wang Defeng for the time being.
Wang Defeng called it a large-scale auction, and most of the people who participated were at least foundation-building monks. There might be something he wanted. And although Wang Defeng had a relationship with him mostly based on interests, he finally helped him a little bit.
For elixir, if you look for a collaborator, it may not be more suitable than Wang Defeng. The warning given to him this time is enough.
After pondering for a moment, he replied to Wang Defeng with a transmission note.
An hour later, in an independent small building at Bixiao Inn on the main road of Wangyue City, Lu Xiaotian sat inside and asked the waitress in charge of serving the spirit tea to put down the spirit tea before leaving. He sat here drinking tea alone.
In the past, he was either practicing or traveling around in dangerous places to survive, but there were rare times when he was so refreshing.
After a while, a familiar figure walked quickly from the entrance. When he saw Lu Xiaotian, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I was rash last time. Please forgive me, Daoist Lu, and ignore the past grudges."
"Let's not talk about these anymore. Speaking of which, I have not been heard from in the past few years. It is understandable that Wang Daoyou is a little impatient. But please remember not to happen again in the future. The alchemists behind me don't want to be exposed to common things.
Disturbed." Lu Xiaotian said.
"Of course it is. Speaking of which, it is true that you, Fellow Daoist Lu, have been away for too long. When the Ningjin Fruit appeared, I was a bit reckless and directly took over other people's affairs. I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lu would lose contact with you.
Not only did I lose a sum of spiritual stones to others, but I also ruined my reputation. If not, I would never have been so reckless this time." Wang Defeng said with a wry smile when he heard this.
"This matter seems to have something to do with me."
