The formation is one of the most important cultivation skills in the cultivation world, and it is also the most difficult cultivation skill to learn.

Alchemy and refining tools rely on a large number of materials to practice, and they will eventually achieve something, and the formation is like arithmetic, it will not be that there will be no shortcuts.

The only way is to rely on time to grind little by little, and this is the qualification that only the predecessors with a high realm have.

The formation is involved in all aspects, like the common cave guard, the mountain protection array is the most common formation for monks.

In addition, auxiliary alchemy, refining, cultivation, etc., it can be said that every monk will use the formation.

Just like Zhou Xuanbee's small courtyard in the Red Refining Gate, the formation has various auxiliary effects such as gathering aura to assist in cultivation, protecting outsiders from intruding at will, sound insulation, cleaning dust stains, and so on.

This formation is integrated with the mountain protection array, and he will always guard the small courtyard of Zhou Hanging Bee without him worrying.

However, if you are not a formation mage, then how do you use the formation?

For such a problem, there are two ways to solve it in the cultivation realm.

One is that the formation mage lays out the formation in advance, and then hands over the control of the core of the formation.

Like the sect's mountain protection array, this is the case, and this kind of formation is generally integrated into the earth vein or connected to the spiritual vein by the formation mage, and the power is constantly driving the formation to operate.

It can be said that without the interference of external forces, such a formation can operate for tens of millions of years, and only when there is a change in the spiritual veins of the vicissitudes of the sea will the formation fail.

The Ancient Secret Realm and Ancient Treasures that appeared in the cultivation realm were generally because the powerful formation lost its source of strength and could not maintain the operation of the formation, so it would be revealed that the world was being scrambled by many monks.

The other is the array plate and array flag in front of Zhou Xuanbee.

The power of this formation is not as powerful as the previous formation, unless the person using it is a formation mage himself.

Involving simple refining tools and rune burning techniques, the formation mage's perception from the formation is transformed into a formation pattern that can be seen by the naked eye, and burned onto the array plate or array flag.

Although it looks simple, it is more than ten times more difficult than the similar skill of drawing talismans.

Drawing talismans can rely on true qi to constantly perceive the changes in aura, and outline the entire spiritual rune with one stroke.

However, the formation is a combination of several formations, flags, and arrays, and even tens or hundreds are not rare.

It may be easy to burn the pattern on a flag array plate, but it is difficult to resonate with several array disks that burn the pattern for linkage and resonance.

Once it can't be linked, it's still a formation? They can't activate the formation directly.

Therefore, because of the difficulty of the formation and the number of people required, the price of the array array flag that ordinary monks can use is particularly high.

Like the whole set of beginner-level formations that would appear in the previous big auction in Fulongfang City, the auction price was close to 10,000 Jing Yuan Dan, and if it was an intermediate price, it might increase by tens or hundreds of times.

The formation is generally divided into four levels: non-entry, junior high and high-top.

The non-advanced formation is generally a spiritual array under a formation disk or array flag, which is used for assistance or warning, and the highest offensive and defensive power will not exceed the initial stage of qi refining.

Those who are not at the level of refining are all formation law disciples, while the other four levels correspond to refining qi to the primordial god.

The reason why there is no detailed hierarchy distinction is because whether the person controlling the formation is a formation mage or not, the specific strength of the control formation monk, and the source of the formation power will all affect the formation power.

Just like the Great Array of Mountain Protection, the array disk is integrated into the leyline, and the power is definitely extraordinary, only weaker than the formation master directly arranging the formation with the leyline.

Just like the mid-level Xianxia Streamer Array of the Red Refining Gate, directly combing the earth veins and arranging the formation with the earth veins, although it is a second-order formation, but except for the Jindan real person's shot, the foundation is unbreakable.

The weakest thing is to use true qi to drive the formation, just like the snake vine cage formation that Zhou Xuanbee just encountered, and it did not exert its maximum strength.

Previously, Zhou Xuanbee had only obtained a total of more than a thousand essence yuan from a few of them, which could not be the net worth of four sixth-level Qi refining cultivators, let alone this kind of murderous and treasure-grabbing cultivator.

During the previous interrogation, Zhou Xuanbee learned that their Jing Yuan Dan was all in this formation.

Originally, I wanted to use Zhou Hanging Bee to test the waters, but I didn't expect to be unfavorable, but instead became Zhou Hangbee's treasure boy.

Looking at the formation in front of him, even if Zhou Xuanbee's mood was good, he was so happy that he wanted to run outside the cave and shout.

If the four of them were still alive, Zhou Hangbee would definitely call them timely rain.

After all, with this formation, his safety will at least be guaranteed when he enters the Valley of Hundred Flowers tomorrow.

Although he didn't have four monks to provide true qi, he had a spirit crystal, three years' salary plus a piece of spirit crystal given by Elder Qin when he left the sect, and now he has exactly four spirit crystals.

With the spirit crystal array, the power must be far superior to the four of them, after all, the true qi attributes of the four people are different.

Moreover, how can the frequency and stability of the input of true qi be compared to the spirit crystal?

Fortunately, Zhou Xuanbee has not abused the precious treasure of the spirit crystal, otherwise he would not be qualified to use the opportunity to deliver it this time.

Thinking about it, Zhou Hangbee felt wasted about the use of spirit crystals for the Black Whirlwind Awakening bloodline before.

"I don't know what this foodie is doing now, he must still be eating, hum."

Having said that, Zhou Hangbee still misses the Black Whirlwind a little.

After all, the first time I traveled to the cultivation realm, I was accompanied by a black whirlwind, and in the next few years, I was accompanied by a black whirlwind, so that Zhou Hangbee would not feel lonely.

Anyway, he was still an ordinary young man who didn't have anything to do with society before.

And when Zhou Hanging Bee was talking about the black whirlwind, in the Red Refining Gate thousands of miles away, the black whirlwind was indeed eating the spirit grass provided by Jin Burui as Zhou Hanging Bee guessed.

And where Jin Burui lived, a teenager in his teens, was reporting to him about the situation of the black whirlwind.

"Master, the black whirlwind is eating more and more now, do you want to give the black whirlwind a ration, otherwise the Jingyuan Dan left by Uncle Zhou will be..."

"Just what?" Jin Burui scolded with a displeased face.

"It's not enough."

The young man whispered, looking at the master's expression as he spoke, cowering for fear of being scolded.

"Haha," I didn't think that Jin Burui laughed after hearing it, "It's good if it's not enough." ”

"Xuan'er, you remember that the Jingyuan Pill left by Senior Brother Zhou is not enough, just use our own, don't starve the black whirlwind."

"So..."

Seeing his disciple think about himself with a face, he was naturally very satisfied in his heart.

"You have to remember that your Uncle Zhou has a bright future, and if you can have a good relationship with him now, the reward in the future will be many times what you have paid."

To his beloved apprentice, Jin Burui taught him seriously.

"But when Uncle Zhou comes back, we can also say that we have consumed too much."

Before his apprentice could finish speaking, Jin Burui immediately scolded angrily: "Confused." ”

The sound was several times higher than before, and the boy fell to his knees directly.

"Xuan'er, don't say whether Senior Brother Zhou will find out, if he doesn't say anything after he finds out, then there will be no love between us."

"For the sake of a small profit, give up the inexhaustible reward, your vision is so small?"

"What's more, although Xiuzhen is unscrupulous, the most basic bottom line is still there, otherwise you will also be a Qi refining period cultivator if you are given a large amount of resources."

"I'm not allowed to associate with your friends from now on, don't you hear?"

Hearing such a serious reprimand from his master, the young man kowtowed and replied, "The apprentice must obey the master's orders." ”

"You kneel here until dawn, so you think about it."

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and went to see the black whirlwind.

And Zhou Xuanbee, who was studying the formation method to drive him, didn't know that his black whirlwind had pulled him in arrears again.

Because of it, Senior Brother Jin Burui also taught his apprentice a lesson.

I don't know what his expression was when he went back.
