Ye Chen's main purpose for going down the mountain this time was actually to get a set of formations.

The Lingtian under the mountain still needs to set up a set of formations, in addition to playing a role in safety protection, it is best to cover the Lingtian and prevent others from observing the internal situation of the Lingtian.

His previous spiritual field did not have any shelter, so he could only guard the spiritual field all day long, otherwise it would be too easy to have problems.

"Formation?"

The reception thought about it and led Ye Chen upstairs.

"Please follow me up to the second floor."

"We have several formations here, but I don't know if they are in line with your wishes, senior brother......

The second floor of Qingyun Pavilion is not more than the first floor, where there are many counters, but is divided into several tea rooms.

The receptionist took Ye Chen to sit down in a tea room, made him a pot of tea, said "Wait a minute" and stepped back, and after a while, he brought over a few array boards and array chess.

"It's not as good as having a Dantang instrument hall in the sect, and the formation method is still relatively difficult to study, so the sect doesn't set up a formation hall or anything like that."

"The goods we received here are basically from a few immortal cultivation families and sects outside that are studying formations, so I will introduce them to you, senior brother."

“……”

The formation thing, Ye Chen's earliest close contact was the one that Old Man Yan took out when he was exploring the cave.

After listening to this reception, he finally had a clear understanding of the formation.

The so-called formations are generally divided into two categories - magic formations and prohibitions.

The magic circle is made of various materials, and it can be combined according to a certain rhythm of heaven and earth to form a magic circle.

It is divided into parts such as array eyes, array chess, and array boards.

As long as it is installed and placed with spirit stones, even a lowly Qi refining layer cultivator can use it.

The prohibition is much rarer, it is said that it can be arranged without materials, but only the powerful monks can arrange it.

Regarding the prohibition, this reception only knows a rough idea, and I didn't say much, but I just said that the formations that the monks usually talk about basically refer to the magic array.

What he brought to Ye Chen were three sets of magic arrays, or formations.

The first set of them is the Spirit Gathering Array, which can gather more heaven and earth spiritual energy after consuming spirit stones, which can replace the cultivation conditions of the outside world, and is very beneficial to cultivation breakthroughs, and the price is thirty lower-grade spirit stones.

The second set is the Black Lock Array, which can generate black smoke, which can both obscure the vision and trap the enemy, and costs fifty low-grade spirit stones.

Ye Chen could see at a glance that this was a bit similar to Old Man Yan's formation, but Old Man Yan's formation burned itself after using it, which was all the difference from this one that was said to be able to be used many times.

The other set is the Fierce Killing Array, which is a bit similar to the second set of formations, but it is an attack type formation, and the price is sixty-five lower-grade spirit stones.

These three sets of formations have different functions, which are auxiliary cultivation, defense, and attack, and the price is also high and low.

However, Ye Chen was not satisfied.

What he wanted was actually a defensive formation, and he didn't need much attack power.

It seems that the second set seems to meet the conditions, but the maximum range that this set of formations can be arranged is only tens of zhang square, and it is okay to use it against the enemy in the wild, but if you want to cover his several acres of spiritual field......

Ahem, I'm afraid I don't have to have dozens of sets.

Ye Chen could only explain his needs, "Well, I want a larger range, probably a few acres of land, as long as the protective type of formation is fine." ”

The receptionist listened to his words and looked embarrassed.

"Senior brother, it's not me talking nonsense, the range of this formation you want is a bit large, I'm afraid we don't have it in Qingyun Pavilion."

"Not only Qingyun Pavilion, but also a few shops in this Hushanfang City, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a ready-made formation that meets your requirements......

"Huh?" Ye Chen frowned.

"But if I'm not mistaken, there should be a lot of this formation in the inner gate...... right."

Whether it is the layout of the various courtyards of the inner gate, as well as the various buildings shrouded by the formation, all of them show that the formation should not be lacking.

Ye Chen had also seen other people's spiritual fields in the outer gate, and some of the outer disciples who had been in the sect for a long time and had saved some spirit stones would use the arrangement formation to protect the spiritual field.

This Qingyun Pavilion shouldn't have the formation he wants, right?

"This ...... Senior brother, the kind of formation you said actually exists, but it basically needs to be customized in advance. ”

The reception was very helpless.

"Those who can receive this kind of customization are those formation mages from the formation sect or family, and the price of this kind of formation is usually more than hundreds of spirit stones, and it will not be sold on the market."

"Senior brother, if you only want this kind of formation, our Qingyun Pavilion can help you contact the formation mage for free, but after the deal is reached, you have to give us a fee as an intermediary fee."

"Do you want to be customized?" Ye Chen didn't expect to be in such trouble.

"It doesn't matter if the intermediary fee is paid, but how long does it take to contact the array mage?"

The reception went on to explain to him:

"It won't take a few days to contact the formation mage, but it seems that the formation mages on our side have reservations, and you should have to wait in line for two to three months."

"Then the formation mage will customize it for you and then make the formation, it should take two or three months...... It adds up to less than half a year, right? ”

"This ......," Ye Chen forcibly held such an ink in his throat and didn't say it.

If you think about it carefully, with the monk's cultivation years of several years, tens or hundreds of years, a single retreat may exceed several months, and this half a year really does not seem to be a particularly long time.

But he couldn't afford to wait.

Instead of waiting for half a year before you can open a spiritual field and plant spiritual grass, it is better to plant it in the placed farm......

With the breakthrough of his cultivation, the number of farms placed on the farm has reached eighty, and if all of them are planted with alchemy materials, they can harvest about six batches in a month, which adds up to more than a hundred materials.

In half a year, the farm has generated nearly a thousand materials, with these materials, why should he bother to grow spirit grass by himself?

Moreover, a large part of his cultivation of spiritual herbs is hidden from people's ears, and it takes half a year to ...... Can he really wait half a year?

……

Leaving Qingyun Pavilion with a disappointed mood, Ye Chen did not give up, but went to other shops, and even asked Wanqi Pavilion.

The result of the question was very different.

They don't have ready-made formations, so if you need to, you have to contact the formation mage to customize it.

And their formation mages also need to line up, as if this is the norm of formations.

"Do you really want to give up planting spirit grass outside for the time being?" Ye Chen was very helpless.

"If that's the case, the alchemy technique cultivated by generating spirit grass from the placement farm will also be hidden, and a large amount of spirit grass source will be missing."

"Otherwise, if you can't explain the source of the materials, the progress of alchemy technology will be too shocking, and it will be easy to expose your own specialness."

"I don't think any resources will be as easy to obtain as they are now......"

"Or do you want to reduce the cultivation of spirit grass? However, even the formation that can cover one acre of land has not been sold, and the spiritual field that is less than one acre of land cannot explain its progress......

He was actually in the predicament of having no spirit stones to buy things......
