Eight o'clock in the evening.

Su Family Villa.

Second floor, living room.

"Little dream, bring me the pen."

"Okay!"

"Lingmo also brought me the ink."

"Here we go!"

The palm-sized little dream ran over with a spiritual pen that was taller than herself.

After putting down the spirit pen, she ran back on her feet, picked up a bottle of spirit ink, and walked to Su Mo's feet with a puffed up face, looking tired.

Su Mo looked at her panting expression and said helplessly:

"I told you, just stay on the side, now you know you're tired when you're busy, right?"

"Nope! I need to be able to come in handy! “

Xiaomeng crossed his hands on his hips and said with a look on his face.

Su Mo was speechless in his heart, but he didn't refuse.

Speaking of which, he has the gift of mental strength and lungs, and he can easily take anything.

Xiao Meng was tossing around beside him, completely delaying his time.

But don't think too much about utilitarianism.

It's rare that this girl is interested in the formation, so let her watch from the side.

Su Mo picked up the slender spirit pen, opened the sealed magic bottle, dipped it in the blue spirit ink glowing with deep brilliance, and began to draw the formation patterns of the spirit gathering array on the ground.

The Spirit Gathering Array is actually not a kind of formation, but a type of formation, which contains many Spirit Gathering Arrays of different levels and effects.

For example, the Starlight Gathering Spirit Array, the Grass and Tree Gathering Spirit Array, the Hanhai Spirit Gathering Array, etc., different Spirit Gathering Arrays have different characteristics, and even the effect of the Spirit Gathering is very different.

For example, the Starlight Gathering Array can be accelerated by starlight, and the speed of gathering spirits at night is much faster than during the day.

Grass and Trees Spirit Gathering ArrayIn places where flowers and plants are planted with spirit trees, the effect of gathering spirits is better.

In addition, there are many different levels of the Spirit Gathering Array, and the lowest grade can only be used by one person, and the coverage is very small.

And the highest Nine Rank can even cover an entire country, making it an earthly divine kingdom, and the concentration of aura in the array can even reach hundreds of times that of the outside world, which can be called terrifying to the extreme.

Now Su Mo is painting and carving a formation called the Starlight Gathering Spirit Array.

After all, he had to run takeout during the day and stay at home at night, and the Starlight Gathering Spirit Array was the most suitable for him.

In addition, it is also related to the fact that the Starlight Gathering Spirit Array is a first-class formation and is relatively easy to draw.

After all, he was just a beginner who had just started to learn how to draw formations.

Even if you have the strength of a martial arts master as a support, you can reduce the error in drawing the formation, but after all, you have to start from scratch, step by step, and it is impossible to draw a high-grade formation all at once.

Su Mo was dipped in spiritual ink, drawing fine lines on the ground, and constantly blending with his own spiritual power in the process of drawing, confirming that the flow direction of spiritual power would not be wrong.

Even though he had been careful enough, he made mistakes.

Seeing that the luster of the spirit pattern quickly dimmed, Su Mo sighed and wiped it away, ready to redraw.

It's the first time he's encountered such a head-scratching problem since he crossed into this world.

The arrangement of the formation will naturally not be so easy, otherwise it will not form a profession.

According to the description in the classics, high-level array mages can use their own spiritual power to wave their hands to arrange formations, or they can use the general trend of heaven and earth to arrange formations.

But a beginner like him can only use tools such as the Spirit Pen and Spirit Ink to assist in the formation.

Naturally, he didn't have these tools, and what he got now, including some classics related to the formation, were all traded from Bai Shichang and Song Ruyuan, and they should be used to supplement resources such as spirit grass and spirit plants.

After all, even if it is the Sorcerer Alliance and the Civil Security Bureau, the inventory related to spirit plants is very limited.

Not to mention that they themselves also had to refine elixirs such as Tidal Ancient Pills, so it was impossible to trade them all.

As for the insufficient share, according to Su Mo's requirements, he traded other resource items, including but not limited to formation minutes, array resources, historical books, spirit stone resources, etc.

It can be said that it was with the help of this transaction that he struck a handful of wool from the two major organizations, not only obtained a lot of urgently needed resources, but also greatly made up for his lack of experience.

Moreover, this kind of transaction is not a one-time transaction, it is a long-term cooperation, and it can be adjusted according to its own needs at any time.

Su Mo calmed down and began to draw the formation pattern again.

After ten minutes, and after twelve failures, he finally finished drawing the first spirit pattern of the Spirit Gathering Array.

And the entire Starlight Gathering Spirit Array is composed of nine spirit patterns.

"Shhh It seems that this first formation will take an hour and a half to complete. ”

"But for beginners, an hour and a half is a pretty good result.

Ordinary magicians, with the support of sufficient spiritual power, would have to take at least three or four days before it was possible to draw the first formation.

That is, I, the strength of martial arts, and the incomparably precise control of details, can shorten the time to this extent. ”

Su Mo looked at the complete spirit patterns drawn on the ground, and felt a little complacent.

Just thinking about it, the voice of the hand girl suddenly came from the side:

"It's time to eat, have you drawn the formation on your side?"

"It's still too early to get it done."

Su Mo pointed to the spirit pattern on the ground and said:

"I still need to draw nine more spirit patterns like this, and a single spirit gathering array is not enough to cover the entire villa, according to my prediction, at least twelve spirit gathering arrays must be carved in the villa in order to make the aura concentration reach the standard I want.

At the speed at which I'm drawing the formation now, I guess I'll be almost all going to be here tonight. ”

"Is it so troublesome?"

The handmaiden frowned slightly and said:

"Why don't you let me help too?"

Su Mo listened and couldn't help but be slightly stunned:

"But can you use spiritual power here?"

"Why don't you try it?"

The handmaiden did not delay, and directly held the spirit pen resting next to her with her right hand.

After she dipped it in the spirit ink, she immediately continued to draw along the spirit pattern drawn by Su Mo.

At first, it looked a little jerky, but when the second spirit pattern was drawn, the speed immediately skyrocketed.

Under Su Mo's stunned gaze, the handmaiden "brushed" and drew all the remaining ten spirit patterns, and the whole process did not even take a minute.

And when all the spirit patterns are drawn, the spiritual power in the many spirit patterns is connected to each other, and they are as one, instantly blooming with a bright luster.

Starlight Gathering Spirit Array, Draw Successfully!

Seeing this scene, Su Mo's face was full of incredulity:

"How did you do that?"

The handmaiden asked rhetorically with some confusion:

"Isn't it enough to have hands?"

The corners of Su Mo's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

The handmaiden looked at the Spirit Gathering Array on the ground, a look of contemplation crossed her face, and continued:

"I just thought about it, the effect of a simple spirit gathering array may not be very good, after all, Xiaomeng and I are not human, and the utilization efficiency of spiritual energy is extremely low, it is better to let it gather yin qi at the same time, you absorb spiritual energy here, and Xiaomeng and I absorb yin qi, so that we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Su Mo was stunned:

"But this is just a simple spirit gathering array, and it can only be used to gather spirits."

"It's okay, just change it."

The handmaiden seemed to have thought of a modification plan, and added another three spirit patterns to the spirit gathering array with a few brushstrokes, and made some detailed modifications on the basis of the original spirit patterns.

Seeing this scene, Su Mo was a little speechless, because the position and strokes of the spirit pattern were all summed up by generations of formation mages with great difficulty, not that a few blind paintings could form a formation casually.

And the hand girl seemed to be completely unaware of this, and was ready to modify it into a new formation.

Su Mo was about to persuade her a few words, but when she looked at it, she saw that the brand-new spirit pattern emitted a faint light, and a new formation was formed.

"Nima! That's okay?! ”

Su Mo's face was incredulous.

The handmaiden activated the new formation on the ground, and looking at the effect of the formation, she frowned slightly, as if she was still a little dissatisfied:

"The efficiency of this formation in gathering spiritual energy and yin qi is not very good, and there is even a slight loss in the middle due to different energies.

However, if you want to modify and improve, it will not be possible to rely on this spirit pen and spirit ink, and you must re-deploy it.

The best way to draw the formation is also on the formation plate, which can be taken away at any time and can also play a stronger effect. ”

Su Mo listened and hurriedly replied:

"If you want the materials or something, you can record them first, and then I'll find a way to get them later."

The handmaiden listened, but shook her head and said:

"Let's use this formation for the time being, the modified formation is not a very clever thing, with the recovery of heaven and earth energy, it will soon be replaced, there is no need to change it like this, wait until the second wave of spiritual tide arrives, and then rearrange the new formation, which will save time and resources."

Su Mo thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Then, the handmaiden picked up the spirit pen and spirit ink, and began to draw a new spirit gathering array in various parts of the villa.

The number of formations she drew was far more than twelve.

In the middle, the spirit ink ran out several times, Su Mo reconfigured, and Xiaomeng took on the work of transportation, and even in order to save time for running, she also specially took out the green snake and rode the snake back and forth.

After all the formations were drawn, there were as many as seventy-two.

At the beginning, Su Mo was also worried that the convergence of so many formations in one place might cause conflicts, which would reduce the effect of converging energy.

As a result, when the seventy-two formations were inscribed, all the formations burst into brilliant light in an instant, and then disappeared again.

At the same time, the countless energies in the air were frantically converging towards the villa, reaching three times the level of the outside world in the blink of an eye.

"This, this is a compound formation!"

Feeling the energy enrichment in the air, Su Mo only felt very surprised.

The compound formation is through the nesting between the formations, so that multiple formations can form a larger array to exert more power.

Under normal circumstances, the great formations of many sects in ancient times were compound formations, using different formations such as phantom arrays, killing arrays, and maze arrays to form a certain high-grade large array, which had various effects.

For example, the Rebirth Imperial Spirit Array can also become a sub-array of the Sect Protector Great Array.

However, the difficulty of arranging the compound formation is almost dozens of times more than that of the single formation method.

After all, it is necessary to take into account the position of different formations and the flow of spiritual power, etc., and only a formation master of more than three grades can touch the threshold of the composite formation.

As a result, the hand girl directly finished covering him!

Could it be that she was actually a formation grandmaster when she was alive?

Su Mo thought a little puzzled.

Turning to put aside his doubts, he said to the hand-girl with a light in her eyes:

"Why don't we go back and set up another defensive formation?"

The handmaiden glanced at Xiaomeng and nodded

"Yes, yes, but you have to see the formation diagram first."

"Have you set up a formation before?"

The handmaiden showed a blank look on her face:

"I don't know about this, it's just that I'm very familiar with the formation, and I should have arranged a lot of them before I was alive, but now I can't remember anything, and the formation is all based on instinct."

Su Mo nodded, and secretly decided to get some more formation diagrams from the Civil Security Bureau and the Warlock Alliance to show the hand girl, maybe she could recall the events of her life.

"Okay, the formation is all set, let's go eat first."

The handmaiden looked at the two of them and said in a soft voice.

"Wait."

Su Mo ran into the large backyard.

He looked around, chose a pruned flower bed, and with a brush, pulled out a shriveled and emaciated tree from the blade of the green armor.

The small tree looked only a meter tall, thin and thin, but there was a faint vitality inside, it was the spirit tree that had been excavated in the foreign land before.

This spirit tree was contaminated by mirages at the beginning, and it was lifeless and lifeless, but later it was a large amount of yang energy collected in the chaos of the game, and it was only then that it was regained to life.

Originally, he had always left this spirit tree inside the Qingjia Blade, because he couldn't find a suitable planting place outside.

But now that a large number of spirit gathering arrays have been arranged here, the level of spiritual power inside is slightly worse than that of the underground spiritual land, but it is more than enough to plant this spirit tree.

According to some of the skills and details recorded in "Spirit Plant Cultivation", Su Mo carefully planted the spirit tree next to the flower garden.

After planting, he took out another vial of spiritual liquid.

This spiritual liquid was originally used to configure spiritual ink, and it contained an incomparably abundant spiritual energy, and now it is not a waste to use it to cultivate spiritual plants.

He poured a small half bottle of spiritual liquid under the tree.

The aura escaped from the spiritual fluid, and the flowers in the surrounding flower beds instantly skyrocketed, and the prosperity reached the extreme.

But Su Mo stared at the spirit tree without blinking.

I watched as the emaciated spirit tree slowly grew, and its skin gradually became verdant.

"Sprouted! Sprouted! ”

Xiaomeng rode on the green snake, clapped his little hands and shouted excitedly.

Su Mo looked at the newborn green shoots and elongated branches, and his heart also fell back into his stomach safely, and he turned his head and smiled at the hand-girl next to him:

"It looks like we'll have a spirit fruit to eat in the future."

"Spirit fruit? You might even be able to use it for sake brewing. ”

The handmaiden looked at the spirit tree that was becoming more and more vigorous, and her eyes also showed a hint of expectation.

I returned to the house and had dinner in a joyful atmosphere.

Su Mo finished brushing the pots and pans, and after saying goodnight to Xiaomeng, he returned to his bedroom.

Looking at the starlight sprinkled outside the window, he took out a small star picker.

With a slight injection of spiritual power, the palm-sized Xiao Ding immediately turned into a quaint medicine tripod more than half a person high.

Touching the spirit pattern engraved on the surface of the medicine tripod and sniffing the faint medicinal gas inside, Su Mo muttered to himself:

"There is no talent in the array, so it is not that there is no talent in alchemy, right?"
