Chapter 223: Revising the Formation (I)
The Yuanying monks present also learned the news from Qin Guan, and they couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, they thought that this time they went out of the mountain, but they were just working for a day job, and they couldn't get any substantial reward. But I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy.
"Qin Palace Master, I wonder how the formation mages are discussing now?" asked Huayan Daoist with some embarrassment. Although he has many disciples, he is the poorest of the several sects of the Cultivation Federation, so he naturally attaches great importance to this windfall. However, after all, he is a monk in the infancy stage, and it is not good to behave so obviously, but for the sake of his own disciples, he has to admit how embarrassing he is.
Qin Guan smiled faintly on his face: "Senior Huayan, this matter is not a word, don't worry." The formation mages of our Cultivation Alliance are all veterans, and we can't interfere in these things, so we still have to wait for them to finish discussing before we can see. As long as we control the Gangfeng in front of us and don't let it continue to expand, it must be enough for these array mages to discuss a practical way. ”
On the other side, many array mages led by Liao Xingchen and He Lianjun gathered together and discussed fiercely how to integrate the Spirit Transformation Pill Formation Array and the Three Clear and Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array. Although these two kinds of magic circles are different in principle, the formation patterns are almost the same, that is, there is a little difference in subtleties. But just this little difference completely makes the two magic circles completely different.
"Elder Liao, the complexity of this Soul Transformation Pill Formation is even more complex than the Five Elements Gathering Array of the Three Qing Palaces, and these two arrays, one is to gather spiritual energy, and the other is to divide spiritual energy, it can be said that there is a big difference, how can they be integrated into one?" asked a formation mage. His words were not to raise doubts, but his formation cultivation was limited, and he really didn't know how to start.
Liao Xingchen closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and the entire array map appeared in his mind, especially the thirty-six points that shone the most. These thirty-six points are the eyes of this Soul Transformation Dan Array. Different formations, the number of formation eyes is also different, in the case of the most ordinary trapped formation, it is usually a point, and it is generally hidden in the most reliable place of the formation to prevent it from being broken. The Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array has sixteen array eyes, distributed in four directions, to form a complete closed loop, and hundreds of formation patterns are distributed among them, connecting these sixteen array eyes.
Liao Xingchen crossed out most of the formation patterns in his mind, leaving only dozens of formation patterns linking thirty-six formation eyes. He learned this method from his master, in order to transform the complicated formation into the simplest form. The result of this is not for anything else, but only as an auxiliary means of contemplating the formation. The remaining dozens of formation patterns are all the places that cannot be changed in the Soul Transformation Dan Array, which is used as the foundation of the magic array, which is equivalent to the cornerstone, and is second only to the eye of the formation, and it is a first-level formation pattern.
Then, he added two hundred more formations, and these formations were second-level formations, which were complementary to the higher-level formations, and they could not be easily changed under normal circumstances. Of course, it doesn't have to be set in stone, and it is possible to make slight changes if it can be completely safe.
However, when Liao Xingchen had just flirted with one of the formations, suddenly the entire large array was flooded with waves, and then it instantly collapsed and turned into nothingness.
His brows furrowed suddenly: "Why is this? Could it be that this formation pattern is comparable to a first-class formation pattern? Why did I just touch it and cause such a consequence?"
With these questions, Liao Xingchen asked Yusuo: "Senior Yusuo, I just deduced it, but I found that the second-level formation patterns in it can't be easily changed, do you also have such experience?"
Yu Su smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Liao has a good idea, I don't know how many times I have tried it in the past hundreds of years, and every time I have returned with a feather." The first-level formation pattern in this is something that the old decay can't even touch. As for the second-level formation pattern, the decay can only find one-tenth or two-of-one, and the rest is difficult to distinguish from the third-level formation. Hey, I'm ashamed to say that the old man got this formation from the master, and he couldn't even improve it slightly, it's really a shame for the ancestor!"
Liao Xingchen said with a look of shame: "Don't say that, the seniors of Yusuo, this formation of transforming into a spirit is indeed mysterious, and the juniors have also passed some special methods to completely distinguish it." It's just that if you want to modify it slightly, it's as difficult as heaven. ”
Helian Jun on the side interjected and said: "Elder Liao, Senior Yusuo, I have just tried to unravel a trace of the formation of the Spirit Transformation Pill, and found that most of the structures have been completely stabilized, presumably after many modifications by the seniors, it is difficult for us to do better." Why don't you change the direction and not seek to improve the structure that has been stabilized inside, but start from the outside?"
What he meant by this was also to think about the easy to the difficult, focusing on the third-level formation pattern, and not having to dwell on the deeper places. Of course, this is also a euphemism, in order to save everyone's face, otherwise this group of arrogant array mages must be difficult to swallow. But it doesn't matter if you lose to the former Da Neng, anyway, they are all people who have been immortals for many years, and they won't be jealous of anything if they lose.
Liao Xingchen and Yusu glanced at each other, nodded with a wry smile, and agreed with Helianjun's statement. The other formation mages present immediately breathed a sigh of relief, they had just spent a lot of energy just deducing the Spirit Transformation Pill Formation, and they had no extra energy to think about the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Formation at all. But now, it is much easier to give up exploring the inner part of the Transformation Spirit Pill Formation and turn to studying the side branches.
Only two hours had passed, and most of the array mages had handed over a scroll that recorded each of their opinions on the modification of the Soul Transformation Pill formation.
These opinions were gathered in the hands of Liao Xingchen, Helian Jun and Yusuo. Among the array mages present, Yusuo's formation cultivation was the strongest, followed by Liao Xingchen, and Helian Jun the second. But in terms of cultivation, Yusuo is not as good as Helian Jun. Although Helian Jun was also forced by Qin Guan to reach the peak of the middle stage of Jindan, he was much stronger than Yusu, a monk in the early stage of Jindan. Of course, the level of spiritual cultivation does not determine the cultivation of the formation, but when arranging the formation, the higher the spiritual cultivation, the easier it is to arrange the complex formation.
And these three people, as the three outstanding three of these array mages, their opinions are the most important. But a person's head is limited after all, so many people, everyone has an idea, and being able to combine these ideas is what they need to do.
"Elder Liao, look at this. Yusuo took out a scroll, opened it and handed it to Liao Xingchen, then pointed out a few places, and said, "This person named Liangsheng really has some ideas." He believes that this Spirit Transformation Dan Array and Spirit Gathering Array are actually similar in nature, and they should be able to merge into one to form a new formation. I have to say that this person is really bold enough, I haven't even thought about this. ”
Not only did he not think about it, but Liao Xingchen and He Lianjun also didn't think about it either. Originally, they just wanted to connect the two formations together through some means to form a new composite formation. However, this person named Liang Sheng directly proposed that it was better to simplify the two formations and retain the core functions - Cheng Dan and Gathering Spirits to form a new magic circle. In this way, there will be no excess spiritual power consumed in the process of transforming spiritual power.
However, the effect of this is a little difficult to say, after all, the aura gathered by the Sanqing and Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array is the five elements of spiritual power, and if too many formation patterns are deleted, it may become a single spiritual power. In this way, even if it can be combined with the Transformation Spirit Pill Formation, it will only be able to produce a spirit pill, and the value will drop by eighty percent.
"Well, this guy has a good idea. However, this is still up for discussion. Are there any other people who have other ideas? Let's take a look. Liao Xingchen replied.
"Elder Liao, I also have an interesting person here, and the idea he put forward is quite imaginative, but it is quite to my liking. Helian Jun said: "This person's name is Feng Ziming, he is a monk who has built a perfect foundation, and he is only one step away from reaching the Jindan stage." The idea he put forward was to split the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array into five small formations, corresponding to different spiritual powers, and then inlay the Spirit Transformation Dan Formation on the periphery, which could be regarded as saving a lot of man-hours. ”
Liao Xingchen and Yu Su nodded, this person named Feng Ziming did have an idea, although splitting the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array, and then creating a Gathering Spirit Array of five spiritual powers, it took a little more time, but the difficulty of combining with the Transformation Spirit Formation was greatly reduced. Moreover, as Liang Sheng said, the difficulty of combining the two formations with complexity and simplification can also be reduced.
"Yes, yes, these two opinions alone are comparable to the three of us who have been meditating here for months. It's no wonder that the Qin Palace mainly advocated the establishment of such an organization as the Repair Federation, and this kind of thinking atmosphere is more efficient than ordinary sects!" He had experienced a short career in the sect, although with the decline of the sect, he transformed into a casual cultivator, but the time he lived in the sect was a precious experience for him. However, he also understands that the atmosphere of discussion in the Repair Federation is structured under the condition that the Repair Federation will not seek credit from the members of the organization, but will vigorously reward them. However, in the sect, each monk has his own teacher, and even faction, and the credit is divided layer by layer, and when it comes to himself, he may not be enough to stuff his teeth, so most of the sect monks will hide their secrets.
The three of them buried their heads in reading all the scrolls, but only the suggestions of those two people were still novel, and the suggestions of the rest were more or less confined to the framework and had nothing new.
Liao Xingchen sighed: "Hey, okay, it seems that we still have to start with the suggestions of these two people." "Although the rest of the people didn't put forward many constructive suggestions, there were also suggestions for improving the details of the formation, which was better than nothing.
After all, the Great Array of Transforming Spirits into the Dan and the Great Array of the Five Elements Gathering Spirits, the former has been continuously improved by I don't know how many generations of monks have been improving to get to where it is today, and the latter is also a masterpiece that gathers the inheritance array classics of the Sanqing Palace, which are extremely difficult to improve. In comparison, a magic circle like the Spirit Transformation Pill that has been formed for a long time is several times more difficult than the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Great Array.
"In this case, let's let these two come over for the time being, let them say what they think in their hearts in person, and let's consult a few of us together, can things be done?" He Lianjun said.
The other two agreed, but Liao Xingchen said: "In this way, it's better to gather everyone together and let these two people talk about their thoughts, and also let everyone work together." We can't do this alone. "He is also self-aware, his own formation path cultivation is all pieced together, his own master is not as high as his own formation path cultivation, and his knowledge is narrow. Helian Jun is the same as him. And the people Yusuo are the single disciples of the Eight Classics of the Formation Dao Sect, if it weren't for the decline of the sect, they would not have been reduced to scattered cultivation, but the scope of Yusuo's knowledge must be wider than theirs.
After a while, a group of array mages gathered in one place, and Liao Xingchen stood in front and said, "Everyone, just now, I, Yu Suo, and Elder Helian Jun have checked your scrolls and selected two of them that we think are the most feasible. Now I would like to ask these two colleagues to come forward and explain their thoughts for you. ”
That's how he speaks, he's outspoken, and he's not afraid to offend people. Fortunately, this group of array mages are all arrogant people.,But it's also a group of technical maniacs.,Hearing that someone is better than their own methods.,The first thought is not to be jealous.,But to figure out where others are better than themselves.。。
Liang Sheng is not tall, and he is not very old, in terms of bone age, he is more than two hundred and less than three hundred years old, and his cultivation to the peak of foundation building is also relying on the kung fu of water milling. But his face was indifferent, although he was a little restrained standing in front of a group of monks whose cultivation was much higher than him, but as soon as he talked about his interpretation of the formation, he was completely forgetful: "Everyone, although my idea is difficult, but we are all insiders, and we know that these two big arrays are actually only slightly different, and the difference within the core is not too big. If we follow a specific law and simplify most of the complicated formations, leaving only the most essential parts of them, wouldn't we be able to combine them into a new formation?" Then, he clarified the principle of his thoughts, and after finishing speaking, he left a group of formation mages who were still pondering, and quietly walked down the front desk and arrived at Liao Xingchen's side.
He bowed to Liao Xingchen and the three of them and said, "Three seniors, I originally thought that with my realm alone, it would be difficult to enter the eyes of the three, but I didn't expect that the three of them really gave me a chance to perform." I really can't repay it, so I have to bow and thank the three here. ”
