Volume 5 Bloody Battle of the Twelve Mountains Chapter 108 Formation Base
The rain cleared, and Zhang Wangxi looked at the sleeping Sumila, her face full of pampering. Packing up what he needed to set up the table, he turned and walked out of his room, and swerved into Sumila's room.
Recalling the taste just now, Zhang Wangxi's heart was filled with a hint of honey, I don't know if I saved the world in my last life, and I can actually meet such a good woman as Sumira in this life. Before meeting Su Milla, Zhang Wangxi was still a standard junior brother, Su Milla was also unemployed, but after several clouds and rains, he found that his endurance was very amazing, and it took more than an hour to enjoy it every time, and this time it took nearly two hours to completely release, fortunately, Su Milla was also quite embarrassed, and it was a match made in heaven.
Zhang Wangxi doesn't believe that both of them are talented, after all, this probability is too small, if this reason is ruled out, what the two have in common is that they have both cultivated the Heavenly Master Guiding Thunder True Technique, and their own cultivation should be much higher than Sumira's, could it be that there is an inevitable connection between the two? Thinking about the ancient books I read before, Taoist exercises basically have the effects of self-cultivation, strengthening the foundation and cultivating the Yuan, strengthening the yang and strengthening the kidneys, and the Heavenly Master Guiding Thunder True Technique is undoubtedly the most authentic Taoist exercise, so it makes sense that he and Sumira can have such a lasting effect.
Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Zhang Wangxi gathered spiritual power, practiced Zhou Tian, and removed all the charm of Fang Cai out of his mind.
Getting up and sitting at the table, Zhang Wangxi took out all the jade that Sumila had brought back. There are more than a dozen pieces of jade, each of which is a jade plate more than two feet square and three inches thick, which is as warm as water without any pondering, and the treasure light is faint. These jades are all produced in the mines on the other side of the Jade River, and the quality and reserves are so high that they have never been found in the real world, and the reason why they are made into this shape is completely for the convenience of mining and transportation.
Zhang Wangxi picked up a jade plate with both hands and looked at it carefully, carefully looking for flaws on the jade plate, what is needed to make the base of the formation is a flawless jade, even the slightest flaw will affect the final effect of the Jiuqu Yellow River Ecstasy Array. After some almost nitpicking, Zhang Wangxi found twelve jade plates that were suitable for making a formation base, and the other few slightly flawed ones could only be used as training materials.
After the sorting was completed, Zhang Wangxi took out his toolbox, turned out a compass, and began to draw on the jade board. The tools in this toolbox are that he bought all the tools in his life and profession, and found a lot of tempering to build a part of it to make such a full box, and he basically has all the tools that can be used by hand. I have to say that Zhang Wangxi is still prescient, knowing that he has a lot of things to cultivate, and he prepares the tools in advance, so that he will not be blind when he uses them.
Zhang Wangxi used a compass to draw the largest circle on the jade plate, and then found a small pure gold saw to saw off the four corners of the jade plate and polish it slightly, and finally obtained a round jade plate, which is the shape required for the formation base. After disposing of a jade plate, Zhang Wangxi did not stop, and sawed all the remaining dozen jade plates into a circle in one go.
Picking out a jade plate for hand practice, Zhang Wangxi first turned it over and over again, and then found a file and sandpaper to file and polish the round jade plate to a thin and uniform thickness and smooth as a mirror. The square jade plate, which was originally slightly rough, has now become a smooth and smooth round jade, which is exactly what the formation base needs.
The so-called array base is actually a piece of material with engraved runes, and there are no strict requirements for the texture, the reason why jade is used as a formation plate is because jade has a high affinity for spiritual power, and it is relatively easy to obtain, and it is also easy to carve. The reason why the formation base is called the formation base is because it is the basis of a formation, a formation needs multiple formation bases to be combined together in a specific way to play a role, and when the formation only needs one formation base, this formation base can also be called a formation plate. The formation that can be carved with a single array plate is relatively simple, and naturally it is either single in effect or not very powerful. A simpler one is the jade rune, which has the same effect as the rune drawn on paper, but has the advantage that it is more powerful and can be used multiple times.
All the jade plates are processed into jade, and the following is the official production of the formation base. Zhang Wangxi picked up a long needle of fine gold in his right hand, and held the jade bi on the table with his left hand and began to carve it. Compared with drawing runes, it is more than 100 times more difficult to make a formation plate, and drawing runes only needs to ensure that one or several runes are continuously drawn on the paper, while making a formation base is to engrave hundreds of runes on the jade in one breath, not only requiring each rune to be exactly the same, but also to ensure that these runes are connected together in a certain order.
The left hand is as steady as Mount Tai, and the right hand moves like a spirit snake, Zhang Wangxi's two eyes stared at the position of the needle tip for a moment, and the pattern of the entire formation base had already been prepared in his mind. The long needle of pure gold slashed on the jade, and the sound of "squeaking" was endless, and dots of crystal splashed down, reflecting the lights in the room and flashing a flowing light, which looked like a falling galaxy. After the long needle of pure gold was crossed, small runes remained on the jade, and it was difficult to detect it without looking closely. If it weren't for Zhang Wangxi's cultivation, his eyesight and spiritual power were very comparable, and it would be impossible to depict such a small rune like this.
Zhang Wangxi was engrossed in carving the runes, and he didn't notice that a layer of sweat gradually oozed from the corners of his forehead. In this rather cool ice and fire cave, Zhang Wangxi's physique actually sweats, and the difficulty of depicting the formation base can also be seen. Time passed slowly, and one-third of the jade was already covered by runes.
At this moment, a drop of sweat slid down from the corner of Zhang Wangxi's forehead and fell to the ground with a "click". Although this sound was insignificant in the "squeak" sound made by the friction between the jade and the long needle, it also made Zhang Wangxi, who was highly nervous, distract himself a little. It was this slight distraction that made the force in Zhang Wangxi's hand a little heavier.
With a crisp sound of "pop", the pure gold long needle picked off a small piece of jade, and the jade shavings were bounced out by the long needle, like a tiny meteor drawing an arc and falling without a trace, and the long needle jumped slightly without due obstruction before falling back to the jade. It was this jump that fell, and the rune that was being carved was no longer a complete rune, this rune failed, and the previously carved runes were all scrapped, and the first formation base production was declared a complete failure.
Zhang Wangxi watched the formation base that failed to be made sit on the ground suddenly, gasping with a big mouth, holding his breath for a long time and concentrating on it made him in a state of mild hypoxia, and he was engrossed in carving the runes just now, but he didn't realize it now, and when he stopped, he realized that his chest was stuffy and dizzy.
After a few minutes, Zhang Wangxi finally took a breath and stood up to check the formation base that had failed to portray. Except for that one shatter, the other runes were only unsatisfactory, not only the shape of the runes was slightly off, but even the lines that made up the runes were not very uniform. Thinking about the reason, most of them are that they are not proficient enough in mastering the basic runes, and the depiction techniques are not stable enough. When I think back to the time I failed, I probably had problems with the state I was portraying. In the past, the drawing of runes was completed on paper, and the runes drawn at the same time were much simpler than this time, as long as you held your breath and concentrated in minutes, you can complete it, but the depiction of this formation base is completely different, even if the runes are mastered no matter how skillful, no matter how fast the depiction is, it is not possible to complete it in a moment and a half, and the previous breath-holding method is definitely not applicable. If it weren't for the fact that after this period of cultivation, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and he might have passed away after holding it for so long just now.
Thinking about the cause and effect, Zhang Wangxi was no longer in a hurry, and after calming down a little, he picked up the long needle of pure gold and then carved the runes that had not been completed just now. Breathing in slowly, stabilizing his heartbeat, Zhang Wangxi carved on the jade bi with his right hand, even if there was a slight mistake or omission in the middle, he didn't care, what he wanted now was not to depict the formation base, just to comprehend the feeling of carving runes on the jade.
Time passed quietly, and Zhang Wangxi slowly entered the state, the whole person was as calm as an old monk and as accurate as a machine. After carving once, change a piece of jade to continue to carve, and wipe off the runes when all the jade used for practice is used up.
There are a total of nine formation bases required for the Nine Songs Yellow River Ecstasy Array, and Zhang Wangxi engraved the runes required for these nine formation bases over and over again, and he didn't even notice that Su Mira pushed the door in. It wasn't until he finished carving the last stroke of the last piece of the formation base of the Jiuqu Yellow River Ecstasy Array again that Zhang Wangxi put down the pure gold long needle in his hand with satisfaction, and stretched his waist greatly, he felt that he had completely mastered the portrayal essentials of these formation bases, and wanting to make the formation base was like drawing the bamboo in his chest on paper.
Just when Zhang Wangxi was full of ambition and wanted to officially make the base of the Jiuqu Yellow River Ecstasy Array, a loud shout came: "Don't move, raise your hands, you're arrested!"
