For Lin Chen, what he needed to know most now was the knowledge of formation patterns, which was a prerequisite for learning refining, if he couldn't even master the basic knowledge, let alone learn refining.

Strictly speaking, the refiner is not a formation mage in the real sense, the refiner is good at depicting the formation, which is a small magic circle, but it is used to assist the refiner, there is no essential difference between the magic circle and the formation, but the magic circle used by the refiner is mostly composed of formation patterns, and the formation pattern refers to a kind of rune composed of many lines.

The application of formations is more extensive and complex, and some large magic arrays require professional formation mages to do so, and they can also use foreign objects, such as a magic weapon or designate something as the eye of the formation.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and if the formation mage's living refiner can do it, then there is no need for the formation mage profession to exist.

Having said that, if you master the foundation of the formation, even if you can't become a refiner, you can also change to a formation mage, the foundation is interconnected, but the focus of the two is different.

After a general understanding of the process of refining, Luo Yu gave Lin Chen a book on formation and the fire control technique of the refining sect and asked him to study it first.

Without a foundation, even if he mastered the refining process, it was useless, so in terms of refining, Lin Chen couldn't help much now, and as for his sword, Luo Yu had to complete it alone.

Lin Chen took the formation book and the fire control technique like a treasure, and immediately took it back to study, leaving Luo Yu alone to work in the refining room.

The name of this formation book is the basic structure and analysis of the formation, looking at the name of this book, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, it is really the basic knowledge, I thought it was a treasure, so I couldn't send a profound formation cheats.

However, this fire control technique is a good thing, because the mental method of cultivating true fire is extremely rare.

After thinking about it again and again, Lin Chen felt that it was better to study the formation first, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and everything has to be done step by step.

The introduction of this book is relatively comprehensive, roughly flipped, there is the basis of the formation pattern and the method of depiction, according to Luo Yu said, in fact, it is barely enough to be able to study this part thoroughly and use it for refining weapons, but Lin Chen is not limited to this, his original intention is to learn more skills, not limited to refining weapons.

Although it was only about some basic knowledge, Lin Chen was quickly attracted by the content of the book, and gradually, he found that the concepts described in the book can be inferred, and the composition of all formations actually originates from these foundations, starting from the root, it can be extended infinitely, which is not a problem for him who has been in contact with the Olympiad since elementary school.

After learning this, Lin Chen suddenly had a realization in his heart, and it seemed that he was born to be a formation mage.

The practice of formation and exercise is different, the quality of practice can limit a person's growth rate and the ultimate achievement, different exercises are two completely different ways of practice.

The formation rules are not, all of them come from these foundations, the achievements that a formation mage can achieve completely depend on a person's comprehension of the formation, that is to say, the formation does not have the so-called profound secrets, even if there is, it only tells you the method of arranging the formation, whether the formation can be successfully determined depends entirely on a person's attainments in the formation, as long as your formation attainments are deep enough, even if there is no method of arranging the formation, you can create your own formation, and it is also related to a person's cultivation, the higher the cultivation, the deeper the formation attainment, The more powerful the formation is arranged.

This is why some formations are difficult to crack when a magic circle is arranged casually.

Gradually, Lin Chen was completely immersed in the content of the book and his own consciousness.

He is like a soaring and vast universe, the stars in the sky are countless points, each point has a subtle connection, countless points are connected into countless lines, more and more lines, more and more complex, his mind is completely immersed in those lines, but as the lines become more and more, until his mind gradually becomes unbearable.

There was a sudden buzz in his mind, Lin Chen came to his senses instantly, his face was a little pale, large drops of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his head was dizzy.

Lin Chen gasped for breath.

"What's wrong with me?"

He shook his head, but his brain didn't become clear because of this, he was like a person who was extremely sleepless, physically and mentally exhausted.

A figure appeared in his line of sight, blurring at first, then gradually becoming clear.

It's the star pupil.

Xingtong walked over and saw that Lin Chen's face was very ugly, she was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Lin Chen, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Chen looked at the beautiful face of the star pupil, with concern and a hint of uneasiness in his clear eyes, he squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." ”

Xingtong saw Lin Chen holding a book in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, can he be tired like this after reading a book?

Moreover, as a monk, he rarely gets sick without special circumstances, but Lin Chen's current state is obviously not very good.

"Give it to me."

"What?"

Lin Chen was a little puzzled, but he still honestly stretched out his right hand.

Star Pupil put his hand on Lin Chen's wrist.

"Will you still see a doctor?"

Lin Chen asked with a little surprise.

"Be honest."

Star pupils glared at Lin Chen.

Even though Lin Chen was no longer moving, after a while, he felt a warm current flowing into his body.

It turned out that it was not a pulse, Xingtong did this to feel the condition of his body through this warm current, which is similar to the doctor's pulse diagnosis, but there is still a difference, because Xingtong can only feel whether his body is injured or not, and the clever pulse diagnosis technique can diagnose in an all-round way.

That warm current flowed all over Lin Chen's body, and finally Xingtong withdrew his hand, with a puzzled look on his face, there was nothing wrong with Lin Chen's body, but his face was really not right, was he really tired?

Lin Chen knew as soon as he saw Xing Tong like this, she didn't check out anything wrong, he had long expected this kind of result, because there was nothing wrong with his body in the first place, and his problem was mental, not physical.

"I've told you I'm fine, so don't worry."

Xingtong is still a little worried, but he can't find anything wrong, so he can only give up in the end, as long as there is nothing wrong with his body.

"By the way, I saw Lu Li today."

Xingtong told Lin Chen about what she saw Lu Li challenging the barbarian warriors.

Lin Chen was stunned, he was also present at the time, but there were too many people at the scene, he didn't see Xingtong and Xiaoman, and he didn't see the result of that battle either.

"And who won?"

Lin Chen asked.

Xing Tong said: "The barbarian warriors won, they were all injured, but the barbarian warriors seized the opportunity to knock Lu Li out of the ring with brute force, if in terms of strength alone, the two should be between the two." ”

In fact, Xingtong finally recognized Lu Li's sword, she hesitated for a moment and didn't tell Lin Chen about it, how did she know that Lin Chen was also present at that time.

Lin Chen was stunned, he was a little surprised, this kind of result was something he didn't expect, Lu Li was the strength of the peak of the Five Realms, and he also had the Hanlu Sword in his hand, he originally thought that Lu Li could win, but he didn't expect this kind of result.

That barbarian warrior was really so powerful, even Lu Li, who was holding the Hanlu Sword, was defeated! Doesn't that mean that under the Six Realms, it is difficult for anyone to defeat him, so do you want to let the barbarians continue to show off their power here?
