"Grandpa, why are you still so rude, this is my friend, you even used something like a shadow needle. ”

Liu Zongxuan said dissatisfiedly.

Liu Jinao's body sank suddenly, and he sat down.

Beneath him, a chair made of stone appeared out of thin air.

"Little Xuanzi, this kid you brought is not bad, but I want to know, I let you go out to find a formation mage, why did you bring your friend back, and also brought back a mouse, don't you know that I hate rats the most? Do you still want to go to the rules room for a few days?"

As soon as he heard the "rule room", Liu Zongxuan remembered that terrifying year, he shook his head and said, "Grandpa, this is the formation master I invited for you!"

Saying that, Liu Zongxuan stabbed Ma Xie with his arm, he had seen Ma Xie's formation, and knew that Ma Xie's strength was not an ordinary person, and it happened that he also needed a formation mage, so he cut it first and then brought Ma Xie over.

Ma Xie understood what Liu Zongxuan meant, so he hurriedly said: "The formation, the younger generation knows a little bit about it. ”

"Hmph, you dare to call a formation master if you know a little bit about it? You won't just pull someone from the street to fool me, will you? And what's the matter with this mouse? He swaggered in. Liu Jinao said.

"Old savage, you have gone too far! As soon as I came in, I didn't say anything about your hospitality, and you even provoked me again and again? I tell you, I am not a mouse, I am, a nine-ghost, a heaven-beast!"

"Isn't that still a mouse...... Liu Jinao said, it seems that he has a deep prejudice against the Yuan Wuji clan.

Yuan Wuji was still arguing, but was pulled by Liu Zongxuan, and he said: "Grandpa, there are fifteen days to compete with the Tang Sect, this friend of mine is proficient in formation, and he is a senior disciple of an unborn formation master in the Jin Kingdom, so let him give it a try!"

Ma Xie couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard Liu Zongxuan's praise of himself, his formation was all self-taught, where was the master's apprentice.

Liu Jinao thought about it, it was really not easy to find a suitable formation mage for fifteen days, let's just look at Ma Xie's strength first.

Ma Xie was confused, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in Liu Zongxuan's gourd.

"Little Xuanzi, I see that this friend you recruited temporarily doesn't seem to know what he's going to do, so you can explain it to him. Liu Jinao said.

Liu Zongxuan said: "That's the case, our Shenji Gate and Tang Gate are both sects that are famous for manufacturing hidden weapons, and because of business reasons, the relationship between the two has always been incompatible.

"A long time ago, when our two sects encountered business disputes, they would choose to take action directly, and whoever won could get the opportunity for this business.

"Later, our ancestors felt that this was not a smart thing, and after the establishment of the Divine Soldier Alliance, things like this inevitably hurt everyone's harmony, so they proposed 'business war'. ”

The so-called "business war" is that when one or several sects encounter problems that are difficult to solve in business, they will send their disciples to let them test their skills, and the winner can get the customer's order.

And this time, they received an order from the Candle Yang Sect, which required five thousand weapons that could be equipped for Qi Refining Realm cultivators—the Wind Breaking Crossbow.

The Tang Gate and the Shenji Gate received orders at the same time, so they would hold a business war.

And Liu Zongxuan is a contestant in this business war.

However, before the competition, the formation mage who cooperated with him had an accident during a formation test, and the escaping aura seriously injured him and made him unable to participate.

When craftsmen make weapons, the most important thing is to manipulate fire and water, and the surrounding aura must maintain stability in order to accurately build each component, so when building weapons, the foundry masters will carry out in a special formation.

In the business war, because of the randomness of the question, the formation mage cannot arrange the formation in advance, and must go on the field with the foundry master to cooperate with this task.

In the Divine Machine Gate, a large number of formation mages have been sent to the Lu country, and it is difficult to find a formation mage under the age of eighty.

"In our business battles, young disciples are generally involved, whether it is a disciple in charge of forging or a disciple who presides over the formation, they must be within eighty years old. Liu Zongxuan said to Ma Xie.

Array mage is a very rare profession, and it is also a profession that requires great talent, and many array mages have only reached the third rank in their lifetime.

The cultivation of spiritual power, when refining the qi realm, is already much more difficult than the cultivation of the physical body.

And the requirements for spiritual power of the formation mage were originally much higher than those of ordinary cultivators.

Many formation mages, even if they have reached the eighth and ninth layers of the Qi Refining Realm, they are still only third-order formation mages, because they cannot greatly improve their spiritual power to meet the requirements of building a fourth-order formation, or they cannot completely construct a fourth-order formation because they cannot control their spiritual power.

Most of the formation mages will stay on the threshold of the third-order array mage for a long time.

Fourth-order formation mages are already the best among formation mages, and their status is even higher than that of many ninth-level cultivators of the Qi Refining Realm.

Moreover, most of the formation mages like to stay in their own sect to study the formation, and rarely go out, so Liu Zongxuan can only temporarily cram, at least to show that he tried his best to find it.

Liu Jinao said: "Are you called Ma Xie?"

"Yes. ”

"Who did you study with?" Liu Jinao was not very relieved about Ma Xie: "Have you met the requirements of a fourth-order array mage?"

"I'm a casual cultivator, and the formation is completely self-taught, and I don't know until I reach the fourth-order formation mage, because I have never arranged a fourth-order formation ......"

Ma Xie knew that if he really participated, he would not be able to deceive others, so he could only tell the truth.

I thought that Liu Jinao would be very angry, but who knew that he just thought for a while, and said: "That's it, it's too difficult to find a fourth-order array mage under the age of eighty in a short period of time, but you are very honest and didn't lie to me with my stupid grandson." ”

Liu Zongxuan knew that his grandfather had already seen through his tricks, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I'll look for it again, we can't lose this time, the family has reached the most important juncture!

"What? The third-order formation was laid out in the dantian period?" Liu Jinao touched his beard, thinking in his heart.

"If so, it seems like you can give it a try. ”

Because Shenjimen was reluctant to move its headquarters to Liang State, it was squeezed out by many forces in the Shenbing Alliance.

They spread rumors that Liu Zongxuan had already taken refuge in the Taoist Sect and wanted to take possession of the treasures in the Holy Soldier City.

Most of the business of Shenjimen was also stolen by this rising star Tangmen.

This Tangmen, which originated in a small country on the southwestern border, quickly occupied the market occupied by the Shenjimen with those amazing hidden weapons.

In order to maintain the development of the Shenji Gate, Liu Jinao sent most of the craftsmen in the sect to the Lu State.

There is another war going on there, and Shenjimen fully supports the monarch of Lu, and the reward is to hand over all the weapons of the Lu army to Shenjimen after the victory of the war.

It's just that Shenjimen fully supports Lu, but a mine in Luguo is occupied by rebels, and the king of Lu can't pay the expensive fees, so he can only promise to give half of the mining rights in the mine to Shenjimen after Shenjimen helps them win the war.

For this war, Shenjimen has invested a lot of resources, and funds are already very tight.

Therefore, Liu Zongxuan's business war this time is very important, if he wins, the Divine Machine Gate still has a little respite, the Candle Yang Sect has always been wealthy, if it can be paid smoothly, it will be able to support it for a while.

As long as this period of time is over, some of the most critical weapons of the Shenji Gate are delivered to the hands of the monarch of the Lu State, then the Shenji Gate will turn the corner.

A business war related to the sect was all on Liu Zongxuan's shoulders.

"Are you really at the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, you can arrange a third-order formation?" asked Liu Jinao.

Ma Xie wondered in his heart, didn't he only set up a second-order Fuhu Formation in front of Liu Zongxuan? Could this guy be bragging?

However, when he was in the dantian stage, his spiritual power had reached the third order, and with his ability to manipulate spiritual power, he could indeed arrange a third-order formation, but there was no formation diagram.

"It's true, it's just that I don't have many formation diagrams, and I've never tried it, so I don't know how many levels of formation mages I am now, if I just use the amount of spiritual power, I should already have the spiritual power of a fifth-order formation mage. Ma Xie said.

"What, you have such a strong mental power?" Liu Jinao couldn't believe it, what is the origin of this guy?

Liu Zongxuan took the opportunity to say: "Grandpa, just let him give it a try, I believe in my friend." ”

Liu Jinao pondered for a while and said, "You wait a little. ”

With that, he vanished.

"How did you know that I could arrange a third-order formation at that time?" Ma Xie asked curiously.

"Guess. When you arranged the Fuhu Formation, didn't you say that because you didn't have a formation diagram, you could only arrange a second-order formation, at that time I knew that you would definitely be able to arrange a third-order formation. Liu Zongxuan said with a smile.

"It turns out that everything is in your calculations, but the third-order formation and the fourth-order formation are two worlds, do you know how many people have been trapped in this level?

Liu Zongxuan said: "I don't know why, I just think you should be able to." ”

Ma Xie patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will definitely try my best to help you, there are still fifteen days, let's fight again!"

"Don't worry, during the forging process, as long as you can maintain the stability of the aura, I'll take care of the rest!. Liu Zongxuan said.

Ma Xie nodded, If it was just to maintain the stable operation of the aura, he could give it a try.

As the two spoke, Liu Jinao appeared in front of the two again.

"Here are the formation diagrams of the three volumes of the fourth-order formation, you can try to see if you can arrange them!" Liu Jinao sent the three scrolls to Ma Xie's face.
