Zhao Zijian stood in the courtyard for half an hour.

The situation made him very satisfied.

It's just that if you want to fully achieve the effect that this formation should achieve, it will have to be a while, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it is impossible to see immediate results as soon as the formation is activated.

So he went back to the hall and went on with his work.

This time, I want to set up a smaller formation.

It's just that the formation is obviously simpler, but this time he is arranging the formation, but he seems to be more careful and cautious than the formation that arranged the entire courtyard just now.

It's not a new thing, but even children know one thing: two blocks stacked together, even if the one at the bottom is bigger, is definitely not as stable as just one block.

And now, what Zhao Zijian wants to do is to arrange a small spirit gathering formation in the entire courtyard - such a superposition, once the formation is completed, it can obviously make the spiritual energy in this small formation go up to a higher level in an instant, but the instability of the formation will also follow.

Fortunately, the formation at this level is not a big deal for Zhao Zijian, and the formation he laid out with his own hands can basically compress the risk of the collapse of the entire large formation and small formation to a very small one, which is basically negligible.

Of course, if you want to arrange the third formation, the difficulty is no longer a matter of multiplication, but a geometric increase - this is not the most critical, more critical, if you use the triple formation to extract the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it is easy to cause the nearby spiritual energy to be instantly pumped into a vacuum, and once this vacuum is formed, it is like a river bursting its embankment, and the spiritual energy in farther places will be surging in an instant!

Reiki is not a tame pet!

Once it really stirs the aura of heaven and earth, what will it cause - well, Zhao Zijian tried it once in his last life, and he remembered it deeply, so he really didn't want to try again.

Of course, like now, if only two formations are arranged to extract the surrounding aura, there will hardly be a vacuum, especially the relatively large formation in the courtyard, Zhao Zijian has arranged it extremely complicated and exquisite, so that it just slowly gathers the aura, and it can't cause any wind and waves.

…………

After more than an hour, the formation in the room was finally completed.

Just these two formations, one large and one small, have basically consumed some small materials such as peachwood, peach beads, and poplar wood that Zhao Zijian recently bought in the antique city.

Moreover, in fact, these are not too awesome materials, and they can only be used.

Because their ability to withstand the tremendous pressure brought about by the formation runes is not good.

However, Zhao Zijian didn't have the heart to go out to collect materials for the time being, so he could only use it like this for the time being—and it was actually enough to only think about using it as a refuge for his parents in the future.

He still decided to go to the university to play for a few years, anyway, he was idle, and with the current level of aura, he was playing and learning to cultivate, and it would not delay the progress, so for him, this small courtyard actually has a real use cycle of only half a year, and it is not worth thinking too much.

In the future, when he goes to college, he will definitely get another yard.

After the formation was arranged, Zhao Zijian concocted it again and activated the middle formation.

This time, compared to the big array just now, it was much smaller, and even if ordinary people stood in front of them, they couldn't see that this room was any different from just now, or that something had happened.

After activation, Zhao Zijian observed for a few minutes and was relieved to make sure that the two formations had really stabilized.

Look at the sofa and coffee table I bought newly, it is beautiful and bright, and my heart suddenly overflows with some satisfaction.

But the coffee table was empty.

He hadn't had time to think about it so carefully, he hadn't bought any teapots and bowls, and he didn't have any tea.

So he went out to the courtyard and turned around the array, and when he came back, he sat down on the old elm's high couch, collected his mind, and began to carry out his first cultivation in this array.

The reason why he had to arrange a formation within a formation was, of course, because his cultivation had already encountered a bottleneck.

This time, with a formation within a formation, when Zhao Zijian sank into cultivation, he really felt that the speed had indeed improved a little compared to the previous few days - after all, the intensity of the aura in the environment he was in at this moment was no longer comparable to the intensity of the aura of a small formation in that small bedroom.

However, more than three hours later, when he opened his eyes, he sighed helplessly.

If you take the example of the increase in the experience value of the game, the speed of his cultivation just now is indeed a lot faster, but at best, it is only an increase from one to two, which is remarkable to have 2.5, which is still not the same as the increase in experience points of twenty or thirty every time he practiced when he just returned to 2016.

However, if you think about it again, he is not in a hurry: a bottleneck is a bottleneck, and if you can step over it casually, it is not a bottleneck.

What's more, the bottlenecks that I am experiencing and encountering now are completely unencountered in the previous life, so there is nothing wrong with slowing down - the higher people go, the more they will understand, in the most basic places, don't always think about shortcuts. This is true for study, life, work, life, and cultivation. If you get used to taking shortcuts, your inertia will rise, and at the critical moment, you will not be able to bear the demons.

Besides, although time is precious, in fact, I have already begun to stride forward when everyone is in a daze - a little anxious and not in a hurry, the difference is only a thousand steps ahead of others and a thousand and one steps ahead.

…………

Winter days, bright late.

At less than six o'clock, Zhao Zijian locked the door, took a start, and ran all the way along the road.

The road was deserted and there was no one, he could rush to sixty-seven kilometers per hour in an instant, and when he got on the highway and approached the city, there were not many cars, and he could still maintain an average speed of forty or fifty kilometers per hour—a little more than ten kilometers away, that is, in about twenty minutes, he had already run home.

He had already thought about it, and this would be his way of exercising in the morning.

However, when he returned to the door of his community and was about to buy breakfast, he actually "coincidentally" ran into Wu Qianqian.

She didn't know where she suddenly popped up, smiling, "Morning, Zhao Zijian, what a coincidence, I met you again!

Zhao Zijian smiled and nodded, "Okay, together." ”

In fact, this is a scene that has appeared every day for the last two days.

Since she found out that it was indeed impossible to keep up with Zhao Zijian's running rhythm, the young lady never mentioned running and exercising together, and Zhao Zijian insisted on not letting her send it, so she designed the place where the two met in the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community.

Well, except for the first time when Zhao Zijian invited her to dinner, every time after that, it was a "chance encounter".

The day before yesterday it was Zhao Zijian who had a treat, yesterday she had a treat, and today it was Zhao Zijian's turn.

She has to say that this is the AA system, Zhao Zijian actually wants to ask her, shouldn't the AA system be bought separately, at most everyone sits at the same table and eats?

However, he is not a fool, he understands that this kind of lie told by girls cannot be exposed.

Anyway, I invited you today, you invited me tomorrow, I invited you again the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we "met" again, can you still say that you won't eat together? It's time for you to invite me!

What's more, in fact, inviting Miss Hua to dinner is really saving money!

asked for three cages of xiaolongbao, a total of eighteen, Zhao Zijian ate sixteen, and she ate two.

Zhao Zijian even thinks - is it necessary to eat with this amount of food?

After eating, Zhao Zijian bought his parents' share again, and the two walked slowly to the community.

The young lady said, "We don't go to work this weekend. ”

Zhao Zijian, "Oh, that's good, you can relax and rest, or where to go for a day." ”

The young lady saw that Zhao Zijian couldn't understand her deep meaning, so she had to say again: "Are you also on winter vacation?"

Zhao Zijian nodded, with a serious expression, "Hmm." Yes, after the final exams, I will go straight to the holiday. But the teacher said well, the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and I have to be self-disciplined during the holidays, not to mention, my grades are not good, and I am under a lot of pressure! Therefore, I decided to study my own during the holidays. ”

The young lady was in a hurry, and she wanted to say, you don't have to study, you are so handsome, you don't need to study. But I didn't think it was good to say this, so I had to say, "Oh, but shouldn't I relax a little bit when I'm just on vacation?"

Zhao Zijian shook his head firmly, pretending to be a whisper, whispering, and said: "I have to perform better these days, if the final exam results come out and the exam is not ideal, this year will be difficult." In the past few days, I have been diligent and self-studying at home, and even if I don't do well in the exam, my parents won't say anything about me. ”

The key is that what Zhao Zijian said is too similar to that, although the young lady has escaped the fear of the college entrance examination for a long time, after all, she also came out of the university all the way, so she had to reluctantly express her understanding at this time.

So in the end, she had to separate from Zhao Zijian downstairs and watch him leave handsomely.

Then he yawned uncontrollably.

Well, I was sleepy, and the handsome guy couldn't make an appointment, so I had to go home and sleep.

…………

Zhao Zijian returned home, first took a pot of water to heat, then stopped the fire, and then put the breakfast he bought for his parents on the steaming drawer in the pot, and left a word on WeChat, and then went downstairs again, pushed the bicycle, and secretly left through another door in the community.

When he returned to the yard, the white winter sun had come out, and when he looked up on the road, he could hardly feel the temperature, the weather was still dry and cold, but the small yard had already gone through seven or eight hours of steaming, and when he opened the courtyard door, the yard already had some spring feeling.

Park the bicycle, lock the courtyard door, pick up all the tools that Luo Chaoqun sent over two days ago, lead the large plug out of the house, and put on the oversized range hood dedicated to the hotel kitchen.

He's going to start carving himself.
