Chapter 34: Formation Codex
Ding Changming finished introducing the talisman pen in his hand and put it back into the wooden box.
Then he took out a yellowed book from the box, the corners of the pages hairy and slightly upturned.
At a casual glance, you can see that it has been circulated for many years and has been read by many people.
Before introducing this array law book, Ding Changming first briefly explained the current situation of the classics in the cultivation realm.
Whether it is exercises or others, oral teaching can only be regarded as leading the monk into the door of cultivation, and various cultivation texts are the basis for the monk's progress.
In the early stages of cultivation or when their cultivation and skills are stagnant, many monks will take out the corresponding exercise texts and study them, hoping to find inspiration and inspiration from them.
As for the bookstores in the Fang Market, the classics they sell are mainly about the history and geography of the cultivation realm, in addition, there are also introductions to various spiritual objects, a small number of biographies of monks, etc.
There are very few cultivation exercises that can be sold, only such as the "Qingyuan Decision" during the Qi cultivation period, which are all classics that are very popular in the cultivation world.
Of course, there are also basic introductions to the cultivation skills of refining, talisman making, and array, but it is much more superficial than the inheritance of the family.
These texts can only enrich the knowledge of the monks, and if they want to cultivate according to them and continue to improve, there is almost no chance of success.
Because all kinds of exercises and techniques are the foundation of each force, they will have a proper collection and generally will not be passed on.
Moreover, even if there were bookstores in Fang City, they did not dare to sell them publicly, because of the resale of the core exercises and skills of other forces, the situation of being destroyed was endless, in the history of the cultivation realm.
This kind of massacre is even supported by the sect forces, which are equally disgusted by these big forces, because the big forces have a longer heritage, more classics, and are more likely to be leaked by accident.
The drawbacks can be deduced from these exercise cheats, and it is easy to find a way to deal with them, which will pose a great threat to the monks who practice this exercise.
Moreover, the accumulation of knowledge by the major forces over thousands of years is also the basis for them to maintain their control in the cultivation realm.
Therefore, they were naturally extremely concerned about this, and any person or force that tried to sell mid-to-high-level exercises and high-level skills would definitely be targeted in the cultivation realm.
Ding Changming stopped at this point and observed Ding Zhengyi's expression.
Ding Zhengyi had a look of sudden realization at this time, he had read countless family classics since he was a child, and he was still a little unimpressed by the degree of cherishing of the classics, and after listening to Ding Changming's narration, he knew how fortunate he was to be with the original, and how weighty the talisman notes given by the fourth sister was.
Seeing that Ding Zhengyi had a suddenly enlightened expression, Ding Changming nodded with satisfaction, and then began to introduce the array law book in his hand.
In Ding Changming's mouth, it was also a very coincidence that Ding Zhongdao was able to get this array law book, and while he inquired about the rune pen, he also used a lot of connections to ask people to find the formation law book.
At a friendly monk, Ding Zhongdao heard that a few days ago, a monk who was impoverished due to the fall of his family was selling some family inheritance classics in Dongshan Chengfang City.
However, these classics are just the accumulation of a small family for hundreds of years, and the background is limited, and all forces scoff at them.
However, I was picked and picked by a few loose cultivators with good strength, and I bought some cultivation exercises and experiences that could be used as a reference.
There are still a few classics on cultivation skills left, and the casual cultivators can't use them, so the monk is still setting up a stall in the market these days.
In order to fulfill the patriarch's entrustment, Ding Zhongdao flew for several hours and rushed to Dongshan Chengfang City to check.
Fortunately, the monk was still there, and he didn't let Ding Zhongdaobai run.
When he saw that there were high-ranking monks patronizing, he didn't dare to say much, so he let Ding Zhongdao read it.
Ding Changming took a fluke and turned two pages of each of the several classics on sale, only to find that the content recorded in these classics was indeed very ordinary, and it was even inferior to most of the existing books in the family.
It's just that he accidentally found a lot of empirical annotations in the formation scriptures, although Ding Zhongdao did not know the formation path, but with the eyes of his foundation building monk, he still saw the value of it.
Obviously, that Xiao Xiuzhen family once produced a good formation mage, and all kinds of feelings between the lines were described in simple terms.
Ding Zhongdao decisively bought this formation book, because no one cared about it before, so it only cost less than a hundred spirit stones.
After introducing the cause and effect of the formation book in his hand, Ding Changming put it into the wooden box and pointed to the remaining two jade bottles.
"There is a silver silk pill and a dragon beard pill in each of these two jade bottles, you can take it according to your own situation. ”
Ding Changming saw that it was not early, so he directly put the two jade bottles into the wooden box and handed them to Ding Zhengyi together.
Ding Zhengyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the wooden box, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself, he had always been calm, and his whole body was trembling slightly at this time.
Several of the items in the wooden box were worth more than a thousand spirit stones, and at the same time, these things were not only of high value, but with his current cultivation, it was difficult to buy even if he had spirit stones.
The family can be regarded as a mountain of kindness to Ding Zhengyi, although there is his persistence and hard work here, but if he was not born in the clan, whether he joined the sect or became a casual cultivator, he would not have such stable cultivation conditions, let alone so many resources to support.
"By the way, these things are a little too ostentatious to hold in your hands, and you have to choose your children for cultivation soon, and it is inconvenient to transfer spiritual objects, this storage bag has a capacity of three feet square, let's give it to you together." ”
Ding Changming looked pensive, stroked his beard, moved to the bamboo couch, took out a half-inch cloth bag from the drawer and said.
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
Under Ding Zhengyi's efforts to control, the excitement on his face recovered, and he put down the wooden box and took the storage bag handed by Ding Changming with both hands.
Looking down at the storage bag carefully, Ding Zhengyi found that there were complicated lines on the dusty storage bag, and there was a circle of gold wire wound around the mouth of the bag.
As the heir of the family, the storage bag Ding Zhengyi is no stranger, but he has been looking forward to having a storage bag for a long time.
The family chores also have a small number of storage bags two or three feet square, and according to the difference in capacity, the exchange price is about four hundred contribution points, and Ding Zhengyi has not been willing to exchange it because he has no place to use it for the time being.
As a kind of space magic weapon, the value of the storage bag is much higher than that of ordinary magic tools.
Although there is no level limit, the price varies greatly depending on the capacity.
The two- or three-foot-square storage bag was worth three to five hundred spirit stones, which was equivalent to an intermediate magic weapon.
The storage bag of five or six feet square is equivalent to that of a high-grade magic weapon, and the price of the market is more than two thousand spirit stones.
And the storage bag with the largest capacity is enough to be square one zhang, and the price is similar to the middle and low-level spiritual weapons used by the foundation building monks, and the specific value of the spirit stone Ding Justice is not said.
The storage bag is controlled by the divine sense to hold and place items, and the gold thread at the mouth of the bag can lock the identity of the monk after refining, which plays a simple role in identification.
Depending on the size of the items stored, the bag consumes the corresponding amount of energy, and when the energy is insufficient, it will fall into a situation where it cannot be successfully handled, and this energy is the vitality instilled by the monk.
Then there is that the storage bag should not be filled with living creatures, and if they are put into living beings, they will definitely die.
And the storage bag is not so simple as being able to store items, its ability to shield the spiritual power fluctuations emitted by the spiritual object is the key, and more importantly, the storage bag itself does not have the spiritual pressure that ordinary magic weapons have.
Without the cover of storage bags, monks can easily be found carrying spiritual objects when they walk outside, and if they are of high value, they can easily attract death.
When Ding Zhengyi observed the storage bag, his mind was also churning, and in the classics he had read over the years, various information about the storage bag appeared one by one.
"It's not early, the elders are still waiting in the ancestral hall. ”
Ding Changming saw Ding Zhengyi staring at the storage bag and was slightly stunned, he roughly estimated the time and reminded him in a low voice.
Since the two of them came to the ashram, Ding Changming was basically speaking, but he said too much, and before he knew it, more than half an hour had passed, and the elders should have arrived at the ancestral hall at this time.
"I'll prepare for this. ”
Hearing Ding Changming's slightly urging words, Ding Zhengyi knew that it was not too early, and it seemed a little out of place to procrastinate at this time.
Quickly put the wooden box and the two intermediate fireball talismans on his body, and the package wrapped in several array flags into the storage bag, Ding Zhengyi didn't care about refining the golden thread at the mouth of the storage bag, and directly put it into his arms.
After doing this, he raised his chest and looked up at Ding Changming, signaling that he was ready.
"Let's go, be careful, and be careful not to be exposed. ”
Ding Changming saw that Ding Zhengyi was cleaning up neatly, and nodded with satisfaction, at this time he had returned to normal, and his expression was indifferent.
Ding Zhengyi nodded yes, stood with his hands down, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the patriarch was worthy of being a high-ranking monk.
In just half an hour, Ding Changming experienced a mental journey from shock, to panic, and then to melancholy, but he had no extra expression at this time, and only the majesty and solemnity of the head of the clan were revealed.
Ding Changming saw that Ding Zhengyi was behaving properly, and recognized him a little more, and with a wave of his hand, the soundproof spell and the protective formation of the quiet room immediately dissipated.
