Chang Shan didn't think that he had much talent in the formation path, but his Yuan Shen had already condensed into a soul bead, and compared to other formation cultivators of the same level, his speed of deducing the formation would be relatively faster.

Despite this, Chang Shan never thought that he could really deduce a high-grade spirit array in nine years.

However, after nine years of deduction, he referred to other people's understanding of the Earth Spirit Array, but he completely understood the Earth Spirit Array.

Human perception varies greatly, and as long as there are no obvious limitations, then it is difficult to say that a person is not gifted in a particular skill.

Just because a person learns a craft slowly does not mean that he is not gifted in that craft. However, if you give up learning this skill because of the slow speed of learning this skill, then this person really has no talent for this skill.

Diligence can make up for shortcomings, not exactly, but in most cases, it is completely true.

Chang Shan didn't show too much talent when he first learned the formation path, but now it seems that he is not without talent in the formation path.

"If I hadn't persevered, I would have wasted my talent in the formation. ”

Thinking about it, Chang Shan took out a jade slip and burned his new understanding of the Earth Spirit Array.

Chang Shan has always been wary of the Wang family, so he did not burn all his understanding of the formation. Chang Shan hid a part of it, and it could be guaranteed that at least for half a year, other cultivators would not be able to refer to his understanding of the Earth Spirit Array and fully deduce the Earth Spirit Array.

"After condensing the Dao Pattern in the third star array, find an opportunity to hand over the things I kept to Wang Zirong, and then leave Bear City. ”

Paying attention, Chang Shan took a deep breath, got up and got off the stone bed, and walked out of the secret room.

After Chang Shan saw Wang Zirong, the two sat down separately, Wang Zirong took the jade slip from Chang Shan's hand, and did not investigate the contents of it, and asked Chang Shan: "Do you understand the deduction of the Earth Spirit Array?"

"Not yet!"

After a slight pause, Chang Shan continued: "In the next retreat, if Chang Mou deduces the Earth Spirit Array in less than three years, then ......"

"When Daoist friends understand the Earth Spirit Array, Wang will let Daoist friends cultivate in the Star Array for another three months. ”

"It's a deal!"

Wang Zirong smiled lightly and nodded.

When the two arrived in front of the secret room where the star array was, Chang Shan frowned and said to Wang Zirong, "Family master, this star array Chang has already come to say?"

Wang Zirong was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Doesn't Daoist want to enter this star array to cultivate?"

Chang Shan shook his head and replied, "Chang thought of cultivating in the star array he hadn't entered!"

After a pause, Chang Shan smiled awkwardly, and then said: "If Chang has condensed the Dao pattern in another star array, then after Chang has fully deduced the Earth Spirit Array, Chang will come to this star array to cultivate; ”

Wang Zirong was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Since Daoyou has already planned, then Wang won't say much." ”

After a while, the two walked in front of the entrance of a secret room that Chang Shan had never been to.

Chang Shan thanked Wang Zirong again and walked into the secret room.

After entering the secret room, Chang Shan quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and cultivated.

Like the previous two times, Chang Shan spent two and a half months condensing a new Dao pattern on top of Yuan Dan.

When the March period came, Chang Shan walked out of the secret room with a disappointed face.

Seeing Chang Shan's disappointed face, Wang Zirong thought that Chang Shan had nothing to gain in the star array, but despite this, he still asked, "Daoyou, how is it?"

Chang Shan sighed and replied, "If Chang is given a chance to choose again, Chang will definitely choose to cultivate in that star array." ”

"Time will not go back, but Daoist friends have once again entered the opportunity to cultivate in the Star Array. ”

Wang Zirong comforted Chang Shan, and then said with a smile: "Go and sit down at Wang's place! Wang has already prepared wine and food." ”

"Hmm!"

Chang Shan nodded and responded.

This time, in addition to Wang Zhao and Wang Xinlian, there were also the old man in purple that Chang Shan saw when he first visited Wang's house.

When drinking, Wang Zirong told Chang Shan a lot of benefits of joining a faction, suggesting that Chang Shan joined the Wang family;

Chang Shan was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "The younger generation is used to being free, except for the period when he cultivated in Juque City back then, he has always cultivated alone at other times. ”

The purple-clothed old man nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Cultivators will all pursue strong strength, and they will also pursue a higher cultivation realm, but in addition to cultivation, every cultivator will have other pursuits?

Chang Shan's mind flashed the appearance of Princess Mingyu, and he was silent for a while, and replied: "Except for the formation path, the junior has no other pursuits for the time being. ”

"Hmm!"

The purple-clothed old man nodded and asked again, "When do you think you will become a Formation Dao Grandmaster?"

"Array Dao Grandmaster?"

Chang Shan thought for a moment, shook his head and replied, "Maybe the junior can't become a Formation Dao Grandmaster in this life!"

"Little friend is too humble!"

The purple-clothed old man smiled lightly, and then said, "Assuming that it takes Xiaoyou a thousand years to become a Formation Dao Grandmaster, then Xiaoyou has been cultivating alone for a thousand years, won't he feel lonely?"

"Lonely?"

"If you have a beautiful person to accompany you on the path of cultivation and relieve loneliness, you will definitely go more smoothly. ”

Chang Shan was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, he glanced at Wang Xinlian's face, and frowned slightly.

When Chang Shan was thinking about how to reply, the old man in purple continued: "In terms of appearance, although Xinlian can't be called a country and a city, within a radius of 10,000 miles, her beauty can also be ranked among the top few; The old man plans to marry Xinlian to Xiaoyou as a Taoist couple, I don't know what Xiaoyou wants?"

Chang Shan frowned and pondered for a moment, and just wanted to reply, Wang Zirong interjected: "Grandfather, when men and women get along, the emphasis is on love. Chang Daoyou and Xinlian still lack a little mutual understanding, let Chang Daoyou and Xinlian get along for a while, and then make a decision!"

"That's fine!"

The old man in purple nodded, and said to Chang Shan: "Cultivation pays attention to a degree of relaxation, Xiaoyou has been practicing for nearly ten years, and it's time to relax." Xinlian, these days, you accompany Chang Xiaoyou to walk around the village. ”

Wang Xinlian glanced at Chang Shan and answered softly.

After chatting for a few more words, Chang Shan said goodbye and left.

Wang Zhao accompanied Chang Shan to the small courtyard where Chang Shan lived for a few days, and he left.

After Wang Zhao left, Chang Shan asked the maids in the courtyard to go down, stood at the window alone, looked at the darkness outside the window and pondered.

"If Master hadn't died back then, and I had shown extraordinary talent in cultivation, maybe he would have given me a plum. However, it is also possible that she will be betrothed to a disciple of the Purple Fire Sect. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chang Shan thought of Princess Mingyu again.

"She's probably always just a dream. ”

Thinking about it, Chang Shan shook his head with a lonely face, as if he wanted to get the distracting thoughts out of his head.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

As soon as Chang Shan came back to his senses, he knew by his breath who was knocking on the door.

With a slight frown, Chang Shan opened his mouth and asked, "Who?"

"Xinlian!"

"What's the matter?"

"Can the little sister come in?"

Chang Shan frowned again, and replied, "Please come in!"

When Wang Xinlian pushed the door in, Chang Shan walked to the door of the bedroom, made a real fire, and lit the Tianxiang oil lamp on the living room table.

"Miss Wang came to Chang for something?"

"Little sister apologizes to you for what happened just now!"

Chang Shan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer Wang Xinlian's words, he smiled lightly, and said casually: "Please take a seat!"

"Thank you!"

After sitting down at the table, Wang Xinlian put her hands on the table, stared at the oil lamp for a long time, turned her head to look at Chang Shan and sighed: "The woman of the family, just like the sesame oil lamp on this day, as long as it is still on, it will attract people's attention, and some people will want to borrow these lights." ”

Chang Shan didn't have any good feelings for Wang Xinlian, but at this time, under the slightly flickering light, he looked at the sadness and loneliness on Wang Xinlian's face, and he still couldn't help but feel pity.

Just when Chang Shan felt pity, Wang Xinlian's next words hesitated and poured a basin of cold water on Chang Shan's heart, instantly dissolving the pity in Chang Shan's heart.

"For the women of the family, it is the best way out for them to be able to marry the disciples of those who are more powerful, and if they cannot marry the disciples of those big forces, it is also a kind of luck to be able to devote themselves to those talented scattered cultivators. ”

After a slight pause, a blush flashed on Wang Xinlian's face, and then said: "Marrying a Sanxiu also has the advantage of marrying a Sanxiu. If Xinlian can marry a casual cultivator, that casual cultivator will at least not bully Xinlian. Brother Chang, are you right about what Xinlian said?"

A gloomy look flashed in Chang Shan's eyes, and he smiled lightly and did not answer.

Seeing that Chang Shan ignored herself, a look of annoyance obviously appeared on Wang Xinlian's face, but this look of annoyance quickly receded.

Wang Xinlian was silent for a while, turned her gaze to the oil lamp, stared at the oil lamp with a sad face, and said, "Don't you look down on Xinlian?"

"It's not!"

"What's that?"

Seeing that Chang Shan didn't mean to answer, Wang Xinlian was silent for a while, stared at Chang Shan and asked, "You dislike Xinlian for accompanying the Sixth Highness, do you look down on Xinlian?"

Chang Shan frowned slightly, pun intended, and replied lightly: "The heavy ones are self-respecting, and the light ones are self-light, Miss Wang doesn't need to pay attention to Chang's opinion." ”

"The light is light?"

Wang Xinlian muttered to herself, her face suddenly turned pale, her fists clenched, and she got up and stood up.

Walking to the door, Wang Xinlian turned around and glanced at Chang Shan with a complicated gaze and walked out.
