Chapter 31: The Way of the Formation

As the night darkens, starlight shines dappled onto the ground through the intertwined treetops. The branches and trunks of the rows of ancient trees were covered with a layer of white mist, and the quietly flowing river was shrouded in a hazy white light.

After the fierce battle, Ji Ning was sitting on the riverbank, facing the river. Behind him, Su Yun put his two hands on his back, quickly sending magic power into his body, helping him recover from his wounds.

"The night tonight is so beautiful," Ji Ning looked at the rippling river and couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know if it's because I have completed my goal and there is no pressure in my heart." ”

Su Yun also looked at the sparkling river, and the graceful figure of the beauty of last night once again appeared in his mind, and he turned around and secretly glanced at Xiao Lan, and the corners of his mouth raised a happy smile. "This starlight is indeed beautiful, like the pearls scattered by the Lord of the Nine Heavens, or perhaps it is a ray of aura that condenses the rising from the night, it is really incomprehensible. ”

Su Yun expressed his poetry to himself, and found that Ji Ning turned his head and looked at him with a playful expression, and was suddenly a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Personal hobbies, personal hobbies, haha." In order to alleviate the embarrassment, he turned around and shouted at the Ma Snake who was digging the hole: "Ma Snake hurry up, and if I don't finish it when I go back, I will teach you a lesson." After hearing a spirit, Ma Snake, who was working hard, hurriedly cut the stone harder.

Ji Ning's injuries were not serious, but he has been healed after this treatment. He stood up, motioned for Su Yun to walk by the river with him, and found a topic to talk to him.

"Thanks to your joining, we have avoided a lot of detours and saved a lot of time, and I estimate that we will be able to leave the forest in less than three days. This time is about ten days away from the important thing you said before, do you have any plans?"

Su Yun thought for a moment and replied, "There is no special arrangement. In ten or so days, I'm going to attend the big competition in our college, so I'm going to go straight home. After grinding in the field these days, it is time to go back and meditate and settle down. After a few days of contact, Su Yun has a lot of trust in Ji Ning and the others, and unreservedly informed the other party of his next plans.

Ji Ning was a little surprised: "Brother Su is already studying in an academy? I remember you said that you were going to participate in the selection assessment of Dream Star." ”

Su Yun smiled and said loudly: "My home is in a small town not far away, and the best colleges there only teach general knowledge and do not train professionals. So after I graduated, I really planned to take the Dream Star assessment. ”

Ji Ning knew that Brother Su was really talented, he thought that he was a child of a big family, and his current achievements were somewhat due to the shadow of some families, but obviously things were not as general as he thought before.

The two chatted casually about something else, and Su Yun took the opportunity to ask Ji Ning about some formations. Ji Ning is also happy to explain knowledge to this young and strong man, on the one hand, he can gain his favor, and on the other hand, he can enjoy the happiness of being a teacher.

"The formation originates from the application of the rules of heaven and earth, and the formation is used to create an independent area, and everything in this area can be controlled by the arrayer. When the great powers of the past used the formation to the extreme, they could even change the surrounding time, space and rules, and control the rules of heaven and earth for their own use. Ji Ning said very patiently, and at the same time gathered a small magic circle in front of him, "The most important part of the formation is the formation base of this main body, and the level of the formation base is the strength of the formation, which can be divided into three to nine absolute from low to high, and the specific observation method is also very simple, just look at the shape of the formation base." The three absolute is like this magic circle, the base of the formation is a regular triangle, the fourth absolute is a square, the fifth absolute is a regular pentagon, and so on. In addition to the formation base, another thing that determines the strength of the formation is the formation pattern, the formation base is the basis of the formation, and the formation pattern is modified and processed for the effect of the formation. The formation pattern also has a grade, which can be distinguished according to the shape, from low to high in order of four grades: human, dragon, earth, and sky. You see, this formation of mine is the lowest level of the three unique characters. In addition to these two most important components, the strength and effect of the formation are also affected by its own structure, type, and even the conditions under which it is used. ”

After saying this, Ji Ning paused and continued, "Of course, an excellent formation mage can not only create a high-grade formation, but more importantly, be able to use it reasonably. Although the current mainstream view is to judge a formation mage based on the highest grade that can build a formation, I don't think so. The formation can be regarded as a tool, the most important thing is not the tool itself, but its users, if used properly, even if it is a low-grade formation, it has a chance to outperform the high-grade one. Just like a blade, a person who doesn't know how to use a sword, with a seven-grade treasure knife, may not be able to beat a master with a kitchen knife. Ji Ning was very enthusiastic to share his views and experiences with Su Yun, who was also very fascinated by the listen, and this knowledge was not something that could be learned from the books of the academy.

"Then Brother Ji, you said that if I want to learn the formation, how should I get started?" After listening to Ji Ning's experience, Su Yun felt that the formation was very interesting, and asked with great interest.

Ji Ning was stunned, and then said: "Do you really plan to learn the formation? It's not that I hit you, although you have excellent talent, but as the so-called greed can't chew too much, you are already doing a lot of different cultivations, if you add the cultivation of the formation, the energy may not be enough, and it may backfire." ”

Su Yun touched his nose stupidly, and calmed down a little. I listened to Ji Ning talk a lot just now, and I thought about learning the formation mage as soon as my brain was hot, and after listening to his advice at this moment, I thought about it carefully, and it was indeed as he said. I am not even a pet trainer at present, and I haven't really stepped into the threshold of a professional, so I think about another career, which is really inappropriate. After thinking about it, he hugged his fist towards Ji Ning and thanked him very solemnly: "Thank you Brother Ji for your guidance, I am indeed a little rash." ”

Ji Ning smiled and didn't say anything. In his heart, his evaluation of Su Yun is getting higher and higher - people who can reach this level of age are simply rare, such geniuses are usually arrogant, unwilling to adopt the opinions of others, and always have to suffer a little setback before they are willing to truly reflect on their own problems. And Su Yun is completely different, not only is he far superior to everyone he has ever seen in terms of talent, but he is also almost unmatched in terms of personality. "This son will be a great man in the future. Ji Ning thought to himself.

With a flash of thought, Ji Ning turned his head to look at Su Yun, and said in a flat tone: "If you are really interested in the formation, you will have the opportunity to go to Illian Island in the Fanbao Kingdom in the future, which is the place where I once apprenticed and learned, and it is also a holy place for formation cultivation. You go there and mention my name, and find Mr. Fan Wuya, and he may point you out. ”

Su Yun wrote down these names in his heart and thanked Ji Ning again. At this time, Bushi shouted to them loudly: "Open dinner, open dinner, if you don't come again, you will be hungry!" The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling very helpless about this girl's naughtiness, and no longer talked about the formation, and walked back quickly to prepare for dinner.
