Chapter 41: Psychedelic Formation
In the cultivation retreat room, Ding Zhengyi first stabilized his mind, and after two days of continuous adjustment, Ding Zhengyi faintly felt that in his current state, it was no longer safe to meditate and practice qi.
However, he didn't start cultivating immediately, although the stagnation of cultivation made Ding Zhengyi very uncomfortable, but he understood that sharpening the knife was not a mistake and chopping wood, and it was better to treat cultivation without fail.
Moreover, during this time, Ding Zhengyi made great gains in the formation, and the breakthrough of the concealment formation toppled a big stone that had been pressed on his heart for many years, making him feel more comfortable.
Therefore, Ding Zhengyi decided not to rush to cultivate, and while consolidating his state of mind, he continued to study the psychedelic array necessary for the cultivation plan, and was ready to make persistent efforts to master it in one fell swoop.
As a basic formation, the psychedelic array is slightly more difficult than the spirit gathering array, and it is comparable to the hidden array.
In addition to the basic formation, of course, there are also compound formations, such as fusing the Gathering Spirit Array and the Concealment Array together to form a Concealed Gathering Array, which is the simplest compound formation.
It's just that these are only occasionally mentioned in the formation law books, and Ding Zhengyi has no clue at all.
The level of basic formations is not high, and formations of similar difficulty, as long as you can understand one, then it is easy to learn other basic formations.
The difficulty in the study of the formation lies in the integration of a variety of formations, and if you want to be like the mountain protection array, the exploration, screening, defense, attack, etc., and even dozens of basic formations are fused, which is not only to test the level of the formation mage, but also has extremely high requirements for the cultivation of the mage, and it is necessary to use all kinds of cherished spiritual objects, which is far from what Ding Zhengyi can imagine now.
However, Ding Zhengyi has now comprehended the Hidden Array, although he has not yet achieved a thorough understanding, but the introduction to the psychedelic array is only a step away, after all, there are many experiences about this formation in that formation book.
He can comprehend some ways of formation from the words of the commentary, and solve the difficult problem of the hidden array by touching the bypass, and I believe that it is not a problem to learn the psychedelic array in a short time.
As soon as he thought of it, Ding Zhengyi no longer dragged out, and immediately took out a few array flags from his arms, first arranged the concealment array several times, became proficient in the feel, and then closed his eyes and carefully pondered the psychedelic array diagram in the classics and related annotations.
When he opened his eyes again, Ding Zhengyi was already full of confidence, and after carefully observing the indoor environment, he began to calculate the position of the formation while planting the array flag in his hand on the ground.
After the last array flag in his hand was inserted into the formation eye, he played a legal decision, although the formation did not have any reaction, but this did not surprise Ding Zhengyi.
Therefore, he did not appear to be impatient, and calmly deduced several formations and an array of eyes repeatedly, constantly adjusting his position.
Time passed slowly in this boring calculation, and Ding Zhengyi couldn't remember how many times he had moved his feet and eyes.
The hard work paid off, after a habitual spell of action, the psychedelic formation finally came to open the fluctuation, Ding Zhengyi had no sorrow or joy at the moment, he immediately calculated and verified the data, and recorded it in the depths of his mind.
It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no omission that Ding Zhengyi took a long breath, the psychedelic array was finally preliminarily mastered, and he only needed to practice diligently in the future.
At this time, Ding Zhengyi looked up at the window and found that it was already the middle of the moon, and there was no concept of time when deducing the formation, and before he knew it, more than two hours had passed.
Turning his head to look at the unique blurred halo of the psychedelic array, Ding Zhengyi was quite curious about the effect of the formation, and at the same time wanted to see what his weaknesses were, so he was ready to try the method and experience it for himself.
Without too much hesitation, Ding Zhengyi adjusted it slightly, set the psychedelic array to turn off automatically after a cup of tea, and walked in without hesitation.
After stepping into the range of the formation, Ding Zhengyi only felt a tightness in his spirit, and then all kinds of thoughts came flooding back.
Those memories that have been slightly vague in his memory, all kinds of complex emotions, are slowly appearing in his mind, but these are far from reaching, when he meditated and cultivated two days ago, the level that can shake his mind, at this moment Ding Zhengyi is still conscious.
He knew very well that he was in a psychedelic array, and in the face of the impact of various memories and emotions, Ding Zhengyi seemed to be just a bystander, coping with it easily.
The joy of hearing about the benefits of an epiphany, the anger of the slaughter of the clansmen by the first knowledge of the power of master and apprentice, the sorrow brought about by the trauma of his relatives, the joy and happiness of cultivating to progress, etc., just passed through his mind without any stop.
These amplified emotions and memories are obviously still too weak to shake Ding Zhengyi's mind at all.
Ding Zhengyi in the formation touched his head with some hesitation, and he was extremely puzzled about the effect of the formation, but as the time of a cup of tea ended, the formation automatically closed, and he suddenly felt a burst of transparency in his soul, and his sense of emotional fluctuations that made him unable to cultivate with peace of mind disappeared.
This surprised Ding Zhengyi, and his doubts and disappointments about the psychedelic array were replaced by this strange refreshment.
This kind of spiritual touch, although far from the epiphany, still made him let out a comfortable moan.
After a long time, this feeling slowly dissipated, but at this time, his spirit became more and more vigorous, and Ding Zhengyi couldn't wait to start meditating and cultivating immediately.
But the influence of the psychedelic array on the mind is too weak, and it is too far from what is recorded in the classics, and if this problem is not found, Ding Zhengyi still can't feel at ease.
Letting go of the idea of starting cultivation immediately, he picked up the talisman book again and began to read it carefully, hoping to find the answer from it.
After a stick of incense, Ding Zhengyi really found a passage in the chapter of the formation book introducing the psychedelic array, which solved his confusion.
Because this part of the description does not involve the arrangement of the formation, Ding Zhengyi only skimmed it roughly before and did not study it carefully.
According to the texts, if the level of materials used to arrange the psychedelic array is too low, or the monk's spirit in the formation is too strong, the psychedelic effect will be greatly reduced, and when the difference between the two is too large, it will not even have any effect.
If the formation and the divine soul are exactly in the right proportion, the psychedelic array will also attract the chaotic thoughts accumulated in the monk's divine soul, allowing it to dissipate naturally, and have a calming effect, which is similar to that of a high-level tranquilizing spiritual object.
It's just that this ratio is difficult to grasp accurately, and it needs to be constantly adjusted as the environment changes, so it is difficult for other monks to apply it in practice, except for the array mage.
Ding Zhengyi is really a fluke this time, this kind of peace of mind and calm qi has considerable benefits for cultivation, not only can increase the time of meditation and qi practice, but also can slightly improve the efficiency of qi practice.
Looking at the several low-level array flags on the ground, Ding Zhengyi could only shake his head and smile bitterly, with the strength of his divine soul equivalent to the late stage of qi cultivation after his epiphany, the psychedelic array arranged by this level of array flag really couldn't bring him any trouble.
However, the problem was finally clarified, and Ding Zhengyi finally put his mind at ease, so it seems that the mid-stage cultivators of Qi cultivation can still reveal their true character and desires in this psychedelic array, and the significance of assisting in selection is still very huge.
And in the future, if you encounter restlessness, or even affect your cultivation, you can also try to use this method to remove hidden dangers, not only will not delay the progress of your cultivation, but it may even have the effect of promoting cultivation, which makes Ding Zhengyi excited just thinking about it.
Early the next morning, when Ding Zhengyi got up as usual, although he was still a little tired, he was in a very good mood.
Yesterday, he washed his soul in the psychedelic array, felt refreshed, and after figuring out the problems of the psychedelic array, Ding Zhengyi simply struck while the iron was hot, meditated and practiced qi.
The effect of the exercises was very good, and the efficiency was about one percent higher than usual, and he was very satisfied with it, and he unconsciously cultivated until the early hours of the morning.
It wasn't until the spiritual network could no longer transmit the spiritual energy that he stopped the operation of the exercises.
Although his spirit was still very excited, Ding Zhengyi knew that this was overdrawing the energy of his divine soul, so in order not to affect his cultivation the next day, he forced himself to go to bed.
It is the beginning of a new day, Ding Zhengyi is facing the rising sun, feeling a different kind of warmth, and his mood is very comfortable.
He is ready again to take the steps towards his dreams.
