After Chu Yuan accepted the money, Zhou Cheng asked about the formation.
"Brother Zhou Cheng wants to learn the formation?" Zhou Yuan asked Zhou Cheng, and then said: "This formation, if practiced to the extreme, will indeed have the power to destroy the world. However, learning the formation also depends on talent."
"The formation is the evolution and condensation of countless formation symbols."
"But there are some king-level experts who have studied for decades and still cannot outline all the basic formation symbols."
"This formation talisman, every stroke, seems simple, but in fact it is mysterious and unusual."
"I also tried to learn the formations at first, but after studying for a year, I still couldn't draw the two basic formations well, so I had to give up in the end."
Chu Yuan shook his head.
There are one thousand basic array symbols.
And it's just the basic array talisman.
However, he couldn't draw two basic talismans in a year!
Zhou Cheng asked: "How many basic formation talismans are there? Are there many?"
"Not many, a thousand." Chu Yuan said: "This is just the basic formation talisman. Once you learn all these basic formation talismans, you can outline more complex second-level, third-level, and fourth-level formation talismans in the future."
"Although the second-level formation talismans are fewer than the first-level basic formation talismans, they are much more profound than the first-level basic formation talismans. Many king-level masters have learned a thousand basic formation talismans in three or four years after spending decades.
They can’t even learn a second-level formation talisman.”
Zhou Cheng asked: "Do you have a basic book on formations?"
Chu Yuan said: "This basic book on formations is sold at the Sihai Dynasty Formation Guild. It's not expensive. I don't have it with me now. I'll ask Chu Ding if they have it with them." Having said this, he went to ask Chu.
Ding, Chu Sicheng, Chu Bing and others.
Coincidentally, Chu Ding had a copy with him.
Xu Ding said that he has been carrying a copy of it for these years, and occasionally looks through it when he has nothing to do.
When Zhou Cheng was about to give the opponent a spiritual stone, Chu Ding waved his hand and said: "It's not a treasure, it's not worth a few spiritual stones. Young Master Zhou Cheng, just take it and look at it. When I get to the Four Seas Dynasty Formation Guild, I'll buy another one."
That’s it.”
"I don't think much of this thing anyway. It's a waste to put it on me."
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he accepted it without being polite to the other party.
After receiving the basic book on formation techniques, Zhou Cheng separated from Chu Yuan and the others, then turned around and entered his room, where he began to read through the basic book on formation techniques.
The reason why Zhou Cheng wanted to learn the formation was not only because he wanted to break the ban on the formation at the entrance of the Poisonous Fog Valley in southern Xinjiang.
Formation is extremely important in the world of immortal martial arts.
Not only can you set up formations to trap and fight enemies, but you can also inscribe formations on weapons and armor.
Weapons and armor with formations engraved on them are much more powerful than weapons and armor of the same level without formations.
Just when Zhou Cheng turned around and entered the room to look through the basic books on formations, Chu Yuan looked at Zhou Cheng walking away holding the basic books on formations and shook his head.
"Young Hero Zhou Cheng has extremely high spiritual talent. Maybe he can learn formations very quickly," Xu Ding said.
The stronger the soul, the easier it is to draw the formation runes successfully than others.
Chu Yuan shook his head: "Although it is said that the stronger the soul is, it will have an auxiliary effect on learning formation runes, but it is only an auxiliary role. The most important thing is to look at the individual's formation talent."
While Zu Yuan and Chu Ding were talking, Zhou Cheng read through the first page of the basic book on formations.
This basic book on formations has a total of one thousand pages.
Each page explains how to draw a formation symbol.
The first page introduces the formation symbol "金".
All things in the world are evolved from the five elements of "metal, water, wood, fire and earth", and 90% of the formations in the world are also related to the five elements, so the five elements formation talismans are extremely important.
In the middle of the first page, there is a huge word "gold".
This gold character is different from ordinary gold characters. The gold characters are blooming with a faint golden brilliance, as if they are alive, like a piece of brilliant gold that will never fade.
Zhou Cheng's soul can feel that this golden character has a certain connection with the golden power between heaven and earth. It is precisely because of this that this golden character can bloom with golden brilliance all the time.
Looking at this "gold" formation talisman, Zhou Cheng felt that the power of the formation was so miraculous.
He once heard his master Xing Yao say that some masters of formations in the world of immortal martial arts could even set up a spirit-gathering formation. Practicing in this spirit-gathering formation was as effective as practicing by swallowing the best pills.
One can imagine the price of a king-level top-quality elixir. However, practicing in this spirit-gathering formation is comparable to practicing by swallowing top-quality elixirs. How many top-quality elixirs can be saved?
The value of this spirit gathering formation is terrifying.
Zhou Cheng retracted his thoughts and his eyes fell on the gold characters again.
After recalling the key points of drawing the golden talisman, Zhou Cheng took out a talisman pen.
To outline the formation runes, you need a special talisman pen. Ordinary pens cannot draw them.
After taking out the talisman pen, Zhou Cheng took out a piece of paper and began to write the first stroke on the paper.
After writing the first stroke, Zhou Cheng did not pause and wrote the second and third strokes. Soon, the gold characters were written.
However, the gold characters did not react at all, unlike the gold characters in the basic book on formations that shone with golden light.
The unresponsive gold characters are actually ordinary gold characters, not formation runes.
Zhou Cheng looked at the unresponsive golden characters, frowned, and turned to the first page again, reading it from beginning to end.
Immediately, Zhou Cheng calmed down his mind and felt all the changes in the surrounding world.
Zhou Cheng imagined himself as a part of the world, and carefully felt the power of the metal around him.
Finally, he felt a little bit of golden light between the heaven and the earth around him.
These golden lights are like golden fireflies.
Zhou Cheng was confused. According to what was said in the basic book on this formation, it would take an average person several days to sense the power of the metal element after learning the formation talisman, and generally they could only feel a few points.
But what's going on with the metal power all around me?
This is more than thousands.
Zhou Cheng used his strength again and picked up his pen to sketch.
One stroke at a time.
With every stroke he wrote, Zhou Cheng could feel the power of the metal around him flowing out from his pen.
Soon, the golden words were written.
When Zhou Cheng finished writing the golden characters.
Suddenly, the gold characters he wrote were like unearthed gold, blooming with golden brilliance, and the golden brilliance was no weaker than the gold characters in the basic book on formations.
Although Zhou Cheng doesn't know who drew the formation symbols in this basic book on formations, but being able to compile this basic book on formations probably means that his status in the formation guild is not low. But now, he has sketched the golden formation for the first time.
The talisman is actually weaker than the metal power contained in the opponent's golden talisman!
Zhou Cheng picked up the pen again and sketched another one.
