Emperor Xuan explained: "You can already use your combat power perfectly, and your marksmanship realm has also encountered a bottleneck, what reason do you have to stay in the Sunset Mountain Range? After you cultivated your soul to saturation last night, your soul strength has already reached the requirements, and you can already learn alchemy." ”

When Qi Lin heard this, he said in ecstasy: "Senior, is my soul strength already a first-grade junior spirit master? Great! Becoming an alchemy spirit master one day earlier can make the Qi family be protected by the spirit master union one day earlier!"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Boy, your soul strength is still a little far from a first-grade junior spirit master." Although you cultivate your soul every day, plus you are already a seven-star warrior, your current soul strength is already one-tenth of that of a first-grade junior spirit master. ”

Qi Lin was a little disappointed and said, "It turns out that it is only one-tenth of the first-grade junior spirit master, so didn't I meet the requirements for learning alchemy?"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "The request you said has a premise, that is, without the assistance of soul skills. This emperor has soul skills, even if he can't meet the requirements of a first-grade junior spirit master, it doesn't matter. ”

When Qi Lin heard this, he immediately complained: "Senior, then why didn't you give me the soul technique earlier, then I could learn alchemy earlier!"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Boy, even the mortal-level primary soul skill has requirements for soul strength, and you are barely meeting the requirements now." Also, although the status of the spirit master is high, the strength is the most important. Don't put your hopes in someone else, you know?"

Qi Lin was ashamed and said: "What the seniors taught is that the kid knows. ”

As he spoke, Qi Lin had already strode towards Sunset Town, and at the same time asked with his soul thoughts: "Senior, then can I learn alchemy first, and then learn the formation later." I still want the Qi family to be protected by the Spirit Master Guild first, and then improve my strength later. ”

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Boy, this emperor will give you a soul mark now, and after you finish reading the information in the soul mark, you won't say such things." ”

As he spoke, there was already a roar in Qi Lin's mind, and Qi Lin immediately touched the soul mark with his soul thoughts, and a large amount of information immediately poured into his mind. The huge amount of information made Qi Lin stunned, and the amount of information given by Emperor Xuan's soul mark was so large for the first time.

Qi Lin immediately slowed down and hurried away while checking the information in the soul seal. Anyway, with Emperor Xuan here, Qi Lin is not afraid of a sneak attack by demon beasts. The amount of information is so huge, you can't really finish reading it in three or five hours, just hurry up at this speed, and you can return to Sunset Town after three or five hours.

Among the huge information, the first thing Qi Lin saw was the information of the formation, first of all, the introduction of the formation, and the role of the formation. These alone made Qi Lin look at it for nearly half an hour.

The formation is derived from the mutual restraint and mutual transformation of the energy of the five elements, and it can be said that all things in heaven and earth are a super formation. All things in heaven and earth are withered and prosperous, life and death, and everything is inseparable from the mutual birth and mutual transformation of the energy of the five elements.

The same is true for cultivators' cultivation, opening up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra and cultivating the battle qi are all derived from the formation. Therefore, a cultivator who is proficient in the formation method, even if he does not have a cultivation technique, he can create a cultivation technique by himself.

It can be said that the way of cultivation is derived from the way of formation. It can also be said that the human body is a formation, and qi and blood are like the energy of the formation, which can stimulate the power of the formation.

Formations can be divided into three types according to the changes in the energy of the five elements, which are offensive formations, defensive formations and auxiliary formations. The offensive formation is also called the killing array, and the defensive formation has a trapped formation, a sealing array and a defensive formation, and the sealing array is used to make battle talismans. Auxiliary formations include phantom arrays, gathering yuan arrays, soul gathering arrays, and so on.

The ** array in the valley belongs to the phantom array, and the hidden soul devouring array belongs to the killing array, and they are all low-level formations that are proficient in the realm, even if the nine-star war emperor falls into the killing array, he will die for a lifetime.

The formation is divided into three levels according to the amount of energy of the five elements, which are the low-level formation, the intermediate formation, and the high-level formation. The formations of each level are divided into three realms, which are the entry realm, the beginner realm, and the mastery realm.

A low-level killing array proficient in the realm could make all the nine-star warriors die for a lifetime, which shocked Qi Lin. You must know that the Nine-Star War Emperor is the top powerhouse of the Kaiyang Empire. However, after Qi Lin finished reading the introduction of the formation, he realized that in order to reach such a height of the formation realm, not only did he need a super high level of understanding, but also the soul strength of a second-grade top-level spirit master.

Emperor Xuan mentioned in the soul imprint information that it took him more than a hundred years to study the low-level formation thoroughly, and it took more than a thousand years to study the middle-level formation thoroughly. As for the advanced formation, he was still just getting started.

More than a hundred years is too long for Qi Lin. Qi Lin must awaken the Qi family's battle spirit within a hundred years, otherwise, his parents will run out of life and die.

Qi Lin originally wanted to arrange a low-level killing array with the strongest power in the Qi family, so that he would not have to worry about the Qi family at that time. Even if you don't have the ability to arrange, you can let Emperor Xuan arrange it.

However, after Qi Lin read the introduction of the formation, he not only needed materials to arrange the killing array, but also used yuan stones to maintain the killing array, so that he could exert the power of the killing array. Otherwise, the killing array is just an ornament.

After reading the introduction of the formation, it was the role of the formation, and when Qi Lin finished reading the role of the formation, he no longer planned to learn alchemy first, and gave up learning the formation for the time being, because the formation and alchemy are inseparable. In addition, the formation is also inseparable from refining weapons and making battle talismans.

Alchemy is divided into three steps, of which two of the most important steps can be completed, and it depends on whether the understanding of the formation is deep enough. In other words, if you don't understand the formation, you won't be able to successfully refine the Yuan Dan at all.

As for what it had to do with it, Emperor Xuan's role in the formation was not mentioned, but he only told Qi Lin that the information in alchemy would be mentioned. However, the relationship between the formation and refining weapons and the making of battle talismans, Emperor Xuan explained.

In addition to being tougher and sharper than ordinary weapons, combat weapons also have a special effect, that is, they can be blessed with battle qi to make the combat weapons exert powerful power. There is a formation within the weapon that has such an effect.

The battle talisman is to use the formation to seal the battle qi or demon qi in the rune paper, and it only needs to be touched with soul thoughts to use. However, the use of battle talismans consumes a lot of soul power, and most people do not use battle talismans casually, and only use them when their lives are in danger.

There are three types of battle charms, which are offensive battle charms, defensive battle charms, and auxiliary battle charms. There are also grades of battle talismans, the power of the top-level attack talisman of the mortal level is equivalent to the full force of the nine-star peak warrior, the top-level defensive talisman of the Xuan rank can withstand the full force of the nine-star peak warrior, and the speed of the top-level speed talisman of the ground level is equivalent to the fastest speed of the nine-star peak battle king.

Since the battle talisman can save lives, the battle talisman is much more expensive than both the Yuan Dan and the battle weapon. The Qi family couldn't afford to buy a Xuan-level battle talisman, let alone the Luo family and the Wang family.

After reading the introduction and function of the formation, the next step is the basic formation. The basic formation is actually the Five Elements Formation, and the Five Elements Formation is the most basic formation and the foundation of the formation.

Although the Five Elements Formation is the most basic formation, it is still difficult for Qi Lin, who has never been in contact with the formation, to comprehend. The mutual restraint and mutual transformation of the five element energies are too profound, and every time one of the five elements of energy is transformed, there will be a series of changes that will occur.

For example, if the Five Elements Formation converts wood energy into one of the other four types of energy, a series of changes will occur. All in all, there were thousands of variations in the Five Elements Formation alone, and all Qi Lin had to do was to study each change thoroughly, and the basic formation would be mastered.

However, this does not mean that the low-level formation has reached the initial level, and it is just getting started. The Five Elements Formation only has five energies, and if one energy is added to it, there will be thousands of variations. This newly added energy is only one of the five element energies, and if it is converted into the other four, there will be thousands of changes.

Among the five elements of energy, the gold lord kills, and the water and fire are ruthless, which is the key to the killing array. Wood is endless, which is the key to the auxiliary formation. The earth is the earth, and it is the key to the defensive formation.

In a low-level formation, it can accommodate up to one hundred Five Elements Energy Existences. Being able to thoroughly study low-level formations for more than a hundred years is already remarkable.

The formations can be combined with each other, but the realm of this formation is very demanding, for Qi Lin, the combination formation is too far away, and the Five Elements Formation alone has already given him a headache.

"Senior, this formation is too difficult, isn't it! Even if you have your experience, the simplest Five Elements Formation is such a headache, and more than a hundred energies will be added in the future, I really can't think of it!"

Qi Lin had just deduced the Five Elements Formation, and he already felt a little headache, and then he understood why Emperor Xuan said that learning the formation required soul strength.

There are people's memories and seven emotions and six desires in the soul, if the strength of the soul is not strong enough, they will not be able to remember the role of the five elements after mutual growth and mutual transformation. The basic formation alone gave Qi Lin a headache, no wonder if he wanted to reach the mastery realm of a low-level formation, he had to have at least the soul strength of a second-grade top-level spirit master.

Emperor Xuan smiled and said: "Boy, complaining is the behavior of the weak, since Emperor Ben woke up to now, you have complained many times." Remember, the most important thing for a cultivator is not the cultivation talent or the cultivation of the exercises, but the courage to have a heart of courage that is not afraid of any challenge! Everyone has a heart of courage, but it is not stimulated. ”

Qi Lin nodded and said, "What the predecessors taught is that the kid will remember it in his heart! No matter how difficult the formation is, I am not afraid!"

Emperor Xuan was pleased: "Yes, let's work hard to derive the formation in the future, and it will depend on the formation to break through the bottleneck of the marksmanship realm." How long it takes for your marksmanship to break through to the realm of supernatural transformation depends on whether your formation talent is high enough. ”

Qi Lin scratched his head and said puzzledly: "Senior, what is the relationship between formation and marksmanship? You didn't mention it in the information of the soul imprint! Also, what is the formation talent?"
