After holding back in the house for five days, I flipped through most of my formation books, and I only had a little eyebrows about the simplification of the spirit beast array. Li Cao was bored, made a pot of tea, and came to the courtyard to relieve his mood.

At dusk, Zu Zhenlin returned to the school, saw Li Cao drinking tea leisurely, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are finally reluctant, what are you doing these days? Seeing that you are closed, my third brother and I are not embarrassed to disturb you." ”

Li Cao sighed, put the teapot and bowl on the stool, took out the spirit beast formation diagram, spread it on the table, and said, "It's just tinkering with it." ”

Zu Zhenlin looked at the formation diagram that covered the table, it was complicated and cumbersome, and he was puzzled: "This is?"

Li Cao explained: "This is the spirit beast array recently researched by Teacher Zhao Hong, and after we came back, I was fortunate to study from the side for a few days and benefited a lot. However, I also received a chore, and my four classmates and I each took back a large array drawing, and we wanted to simplify it so that we could draw it on the array paper. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, but I still haven't made any progress, so I came out to take a breath and then continue to think. ”

Although Zu Zhenlin has read a lot of books in the family, and there are many about the formation, but many years have passed, and the formation has long been different from the past and better than before under the research of many geniuses, so he can't give good advice for a while now.

Zu Zhenlin laughed at himself: "I really can't understand this picture for a while, and now my eldest brother's attainments in the formation are probably far better than mine." ”

Li Cao said humbly: "Second brother is polite, you just didn't continue to work hard in this area, otherwise with your accumulation, you will definitely be better than me." ”

Zu Zhenlin said with a smile: "Forget it, I just touched the light of the ancestors, in fact, if I say something disrespectful, it can also be said that I was dragged down by them and had to learn, many formations are memorized by rote, and I don't know much about the truth." ”

Li Cao comforted: "The ancestors did this for your good, after all, when the cultivation realm is not high, the formation can help a lot." ”

Zu Zhenlin recalled a few times to get out of the formation, and nodded: "Indeed." ”

Li Cao put away the array paper and poured a cup of tea for Zu Zhenlin.

"The third brother has come back late these days, is there any progress in his cultivation?" Li Cao asked with concern.

"It should be, I always have a smile on his face in the past two days, maybe he may break through the realm in the near future. Zu Zhenlin smiled.

"Alas, it's enviable. Li Cao said sincerely.

"What does Big Brother envy?" Lin Xi's cheerful voice came from outside the courtyard.

Lin Xi entered the courtyard, his face was full of red light, and his eyes were shining, "Second brother is also back." ”

"I said that I envy you for your cultivation realm, and you will be able to break through soon. Li Cao smiled.

Lin Xi was full of joy.

When Zu Zhenlin saw his expression, he couldn't help asking, "You won't have a breakthrough in the realm today, right?"

Lin Xi laughed out loud, "Second brother is really good eyesight, admire and admire." ”

Zu Zhenlin touched his head with his hand, Lin Xi couldn't help but be overjoyed, plus he had just broken through, and he was heroic, of course it was easy to guess.

Lin Xi continued: "As soon as I broke through, I hurried back to report the good news, I have been able to touch the threshold these days, but I can't cross it, I can't go up or down, it's really depressing, and today I'm finally happy." ”

Li Cao congratulated from the bottom of his heart: "Brother, congratulations. ”

"Thank you, big brother. ”

Zu Zhenlin poured a cup of tea, "Replace wine with tea, celebrate first, and we'll go out for a big meal tomorrow." ”

Lin Xi hesitated: "Second brother doesn't need it, right? We just went out for a meal a few days ago, and now we go again, it's too wasteful." I'm very happy to have you happy for me, and this cup of tea should be a congratulatory gift for me. ”

Zu Zhenlin finished drinking the tea and said, "How can this work? A cup of tea is too shabby." Since you are afraid of waste, then we can go to a small restaurant to eat, cheap and affordable. It just so happened that the eldest brother also went out to take a break and change his mood. ”

When Lin Xi heard this, he killed two birds with one stone, for the sake of his eldest brother, he didn't object anymore, "Then it's okay, I'll treat you this time, otherwise I won't go." ”

Zu Zhenlin didn't care much about money, and the small restaurant had limited expenses, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Li Cao saw that Lin Xi approved the proposal, and was as good as a stream, "Okay." ”

The next day, the three Zu Zhenlin brothers went out again and went to a donkey meat restaurant. This small shop was opened by the stall owner of the donkey meat stall that Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao were about to enter the academy when Li Ji took the two of them.

The boss's craftsmanship is still exquisite, and the donkey meat made is appetizing and fragrant. The three brothers feasted, swept the clouds, and finally met the account, only two coins of silver.

After returning to the academy, Li Cao did not stay in the room anymore, and went to the academy library to study the formation books inside. Many of these formation books are formations, and everyone records their own experiences, which is very inspiring for Li Cao to simplify the spirit beast formation. After half a month of painstaking study, he finally knew that he could at least draw a piece of paper.

You don't need to pick a place to draw the paper, you can just be in your own house. Li Cao first used ordinary paper, ink, pen and inkstone, to draw what he thought, although at the beginning of some hands, it took some paper, but he often practiced drawing array paper in his free time, and he was already very familiar with the trend of the pen, so it didn't take long to successfully draw one. In order to avoid mistakes, dozens of more sheets were practiced.

After making sure that it was correct, Li Cao took out the inkstone used for the official drawing of the array paper, the plum green willow leaf vase, and the dark and shiny porcelain jar. Use a spoon to scoop out the spirit stone powder from the porcelain jar and put it into the inkstone. Then pull off the cork of the willow leaf bottle, the aroma is overflowing, and pour the jade liquid in the bottle into the inkstone. Immediately, the jade liquid in the inkstone and the end of the spirit stone met to form ink on its own, which was crystal clear.

When Li Cao saw the scene in front of him, he still felt magical, took out the Jade Rabbit Bamboo Pen, and began to draw his own 'Thunder Dragon' formation diagram, of course, using ordinary paper.

Successfully drew ten pieces of array paper, and then ran the exercises, precisely controlling the aura overflowing in the body to verify whether the array paper was usable, and the result was gratifying, all ten pieces were good.

Li Cao happily put away the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, took the array paper, and rushed to the white rock field to verify whether the effect of the array paper was as he thought. Entering the stone house of Baiyanchang, he took out the newly drawn 'Thunder Dragon' array paper from his arms.

Calm your mind, silently pray for God's blessing, the aura in the body surges rapidly, the fingertips are full of green aura, the light on the array paper flashes, and a dragon more than three feet long appears out of thin air, not big, but with teeth and claws, domineering. It is very different from the picture that Li Cao expected, this dragon has an ethereal body, and although there are electric flashes on the upper and lower parts of the body, it has no power at all. In a moment, it dissipated and disappeared.

Seeing this, Li Cao was a little dumbfounded, unwilling, and stimulated all the remaining nine array papers, the situation was exactly the same, and he had to recognize the reality. But he didn't lose his head and lose confidence, he was still prepared in his heart, and the teacher didn't study the new formation overnight, not to mention a person like himself.

Li Cao regrouped and buried his head in the library building again, to see what he had thought wrong. Fortunately, as a practitioner, although I was unable to clear the valley, I did not sleep or eat for a few days, and it was not a big problem.

After nine days of retreat, Li Cao finally discovered the mistakes in the formation diagram, revised it, and repeated it again according to the previous steps, but only drew three sheets of 'Thunder Dragon' array paper.

Entering the stone house of Baiyanchang, he took out the array paper, and felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason. Calm down, run the exercises, the spiritual energy in the body overflowed, the array paper stimulated, a three-foot-long thunder dragon roared out, the body was condensed, and the thunder and lightning around the body were radiant.

Li Cao was happy when he saw the success of his simplified 'Thunder Dragon' formation, but unfortunately he was so happy that he was so sad that the Thunder Dragon was uncontrollable and came straight to his chest.

I didn't have time to think about it, my toes touched the ground, I quickly retreated, my palm turned over, and a piece of green leaf paper appeared between my fingers, and the green aura gushed out, and a round shield suddenly appeared in front of me.

The brontosaurus slammed into the round shield and rattled. The shield shattered and disappeared, and although the thunder dragon still had power, it was already at the end of its powerful crossbow. Hit the body, as if he had been electrocuted, his hair was unkempt, his chest was torn, and his body trembled involuntarily, but fortunately he was not injured.

Li Cao looked at his embarrassed appearance, and smiled dumbly, it was really unpleasant to retribution, he saw the teacher make a fool of himself before, and he was watching the excitement on the side, but he knew that he had become this dignity today. I was still glad in my heart, but fortunately I didn't urge the array paper with all my might, otherwise it would be inevitable to get hurt.

The array paper drawn in the past has been verified by the teachers and seniors, so naturally there is no danger, there is no need to worry, and this time it is not easy to draw a array paper, and it is inevitable that I am a little excited, and it can also be said to be proud. If you are proud, you will get carried away, and you will naturally think lightly.

Li Cao sighed, "The lesson is profound." ”

Immediately felt sorry for his clothes, as well as the green leaf paper worth twenty taels of silver, but after thinking about it, this is a necessary effort before success, and he was relieved.

Li Cao strengthened his confidence, continued to study hard, and found that there was a mistake in his thinking, and after correcting it, he did not find anything wrong.

According to the previous lesson, everything was ready, Li Cao began to verify the new formation, the result was gratifying, there were no more mistakes, and the thunder dragon struck a blow, and the power was amazing.

I couldn't help laughing, and when I calmed down, I suddenly felt tired. I went to the dining hall to have a big meal, and then went back to my room to sleep, thinking about nothing for the time being.

I don't know how long it took, Li Cao woke up, got up from the bed, and directly picked up the kettle to drink. After quenching your thirst, pack up the bedding and walk out of the room to get ready to wash.

At noon, the sun is shining.

Squinting his eyes slightly, seeing the shadow in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be stunned, and hesitated: "Miss?"

Zhao Ting got up and said with a smile: "I thought you were going to sleep until dark." ”

Li Cao opened his mouth and felt ashamed.

Zhao Ting said empathetically: "You wash up first." ”

Li Cao hurriedly fetched water and washed it clean.

Zhao Ting suddenly asked, "Li Cao, do you like me?"
