Chapter 8: Formations

At the same time, the "rustle" sound sounded again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Tang Chen opened his eyes, the kitten had already crawled up, energetic and murderous.

Soon, hundreds of black beetles became the souls of its claws again, enough for it and Tang Chen to eat beautifully for a day. The cat tossed those beetles into a pile, and returned to Tang Chen with brisk steps, its tail raised high, meowing and constantly showing its strength, and its body rubbing against Tang Chen's legs. After getting along well and being attracted by the food, the kitten became more and more dependent on Tang Chen, looking forward to Tang Chen's praise like a child.

Tang Chen couldn't help but laugh a little.

patted its little head: "Good job, I'll make you something to eat tomorrow!"

The cat was satisfied, barked again, and staggered back to Tang Chen's arms to continue sleeping.

The kitten Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the remaining black beetles within five meters slowly retreated to the rear, and only changed their routes after running away. The fierce and incomparable black beetle only had the share to be slaughtered in front of Little Tom, and Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In the past few days, Tang Chen has been observing the movements of the black beetle.

The black beetle lies dormant under the rotting leaves during the day, and when it comes out, it climbs to the eastern cliff. At the bottom of the cliff to the east are small holes hidden under the vegetation, about the size of an adult's fist, and the black beetle crawls into the small holes and disappears, only to reappear around the clock and return to the ground. The cave is very deep, and the cliff wall at the foot of the mountain does not know what material it is, and the hardness is extremely great, which makes Tang Chen desperate to find out.

There should be food in the cliff wall that black beetles like.

It's not hard to judge.

If there were no Tom in the valley, the black beetle would be at the top of the food chain. They don't eat rotting leaves and rotten wood, and except for little Tom, all the other animals in the valley have long been wiped out by them, and even the small insects have not been spared. The black beetle population is large and apparently has another source of food.

Black beetles are very aggressive, they also show a certain amount of intelligence, such as when attacking, they will surround in a roundabout way, the black beetle level is obviously not too low, Tang Chen initially thought that they were at least second-grade spirit beasts. Later, he couldn't even peel off the shell of the dead black beetle, and began to realize that the judgment might be a little conservative, and the large amount of spiritual power contained in the black beetle's flesh also confirmed this from the side.

The black beetle is likely to be as high as three pins!

The spiritual food made of the three-grade spirit beast, I'm afraid that even the head of the family can't enjoy it often, brother eats and plays!

Tang Chen was in a good mood and his appetite increased greatly.

Eating black beetles every day, Tang Chen's spiritual power has improved significantly.

In order to avoid wasting spiritual power, Tang Chen had to meditate after each meal, refining the abundant spiritual power in the food as much as possible for his own use. Trapped in the Jedi, Tang Chen knew that every time he improved his strength, his chances of getting out of the valley would be one point greater, and he had never been so eager to improve his cultivation as he was now.

The biggest problem now is that Tang Chen's cultivation at the fifth level of Qi refining is too low, and the refining efficiency is low. And climbing, cutting vines, and follow-up processing mainly consume Tang Chen's physical strength rather than spiritual power, which also makes Tang Chen's spiritual power in his body always in a state of overflow in recent days. The excess aura that cannot be absorbed gradually escapes from the body through the pores of the whole body and returns to heaven and earth.

Even if he had never liked cultivation, Tang Chen knew how undeserved it was to let spiritual power go to waste.

Wasting food is the greatest original sin, and it is also true to exchange food for spiritual power.

Gotta find a way to make a change!

Holding the rattan rope, Tang Chen fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he picked up a truncated old vine from the ground.

A small fireball flew out, attached to the old vine and burned silently. At the fracture of the vine, the remaining moisture in the vine is forced out and sizzles. There was not much spiritual power in the fireball, not enough to ignite the entire old vine, and when the flame was extinguished, a scorched black mark was left on the old vine.

He took out a knife and cut it hard at the mark, and after a while, the old vine was divided into two sections.

Tang Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then cut it after burning, which is indeed more labor-saving.

Some links can indeed reduce physical exertion with more spiritual power.

Taking cutting vines as an example, those mountain vines with gourds are extremely tough, and they caused a lot of trouble to Tang Chen a few days ago, and more than ten knives may not be able to successfully cut one. Instead, use a small fireball to greet him, no need to burn it, just need the high temperature of the small fireball to dry the mountain vines, just like what he did just now, it is much easier to cut; and climbing, if you apply the appropriate wind spell when climbing, the speed will increase slightly, he is very sure of this skill, he has used it before, and there is no need to try it at all.

For the time being, I didn't think of a way to use spiritual power.

He is excited about the improvements in climbing and mowing, which will directly improve his work efficiency.

Improving efficiency is only one direction of the use of spiritual power.

Another important point is to enhance the security of the Ladder program.

Tang Chen paid great attention to the problem of the reliability of the rattan rope after it was dried, and he originally planned to dig a small pond to soak the rattan rope to keep the rattan rope as hydrated as possible. But then he thought about it, he would eventually tie the rattan rope to the cliff in order to do all kinds of preparation work on the cliff, considering the height of the cliff and the time it takes to bind the rattan rope in the middle and late stages, the process can be very long, taking months or even longer to complete. It is impossible for the moisture of the rattan rope to be maintained for such a long time, and soaking in the pond is not enough to guarantee its reliability.

If this problem is not resolved, there will be no security at all for the ladder that carries the hope of getting out of trouble.

Forcibly get on the horse, and in the end, the ladder will probably not lead to the outside, but to the Yellow Spring!

If there are flying and climbing magic weapons......

Tang Chen thought of refining weapons, magic weapons are all refined, without magic weapons, can't you refine them yourself?

In addition to cooking, all he can do is refine the utensils.

Any sect with a slight scale, even if it is a sect that specializes in combat skills, will not lack refining tools and alchemy talents, and high-level production talents will usually be courteous to the sect, and they are an important pillar of the sect's prosperity. Master Tang Chen is the first person to refine the Thousand Fu Sect, and he is even quite famous in the Xiaocang world, because the master can refine the Qiankun bag.

In the entire small warehouse world, there are only three people who can refine Qiankun bags.

Tang Chen's Qiankun bag was made by the master, and he still remembers his first reaction when he got the Qiankun bag.

He almost peeed out of the fright.

As we all know, Qiankun bags are not only extremely difficult to refine, but also have high requirements for materials, and the price of finished products has always remained high. It is normal for a monk in the condensation period to have a Qiankun bag, and it is quite rare for a monk in the foundation building period to have a Qiankun bag, and the fourth layer of qi refining can get the Qiankun bag, and I am afraid that the small warehouse realm will not be able to find a second one. The master obviously understood this, and when he threw the Qiankun bag to him, he told him not to show it to others before building the foundation, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

He has the secret of the Qiankun bag, and no one else knows it except the master.

Despite this, for a long time afterward, Tang Chen was like a frightened bird. He looked at everyone like thieves, his eyes flashed green, like wolves, and he even suspected that some of his comrades wanted to kill and take treasure......

Although Tang Chen's cultivation is low, under the careful teaching of his master, the basic skills of refining weapons are quite solid.

In the three years since he left the master, Tang Chen has not abandoned his refining skills, but he is better than when he left.

It's not about interest, it's about survival.

Tang Chen, who had lost the protection of his master, had to let himself live first, and the pursuit of food also required cost investment, and refining was his only reliance. When he was shy, he often worked part-time jobs in the refining workshop to get paid, and all kinds of spices, cooking utensils, hunting props, and wild survival supplies came from here.

Can you refine rattan ropes like refining tools?

The thought popped into my head, and it never lingered.

Even if there were tools and materials, it was impossible for Tang Chen to refine the rattan rope completely, the rattan rope was too thin, and the shape was irregular, so the difficulty of refining was extremely high, and Tang Chen did not have the ability to refine the rattan rope completely. What's more, now trapped in the Desperate Valley, there are no necessary refining materials and tools, only spiritual power. What Tang Chen is thinking about now is how to use spiritual power to improve the reliability of the rattan rope.

Only spiritual power!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

It is difficult for a Qiao woman to cook without rice, Tang Chen can't directly refine the rattan rope, his idea is to strengthen it indirectly. The specific method is to add a formation to the rattan rope!

Qianfumen is good at talisman making, and the essence of talisman making is to engrave the formation on the corresponding medium (such as yellow paper), infuse it with spiritual power and activate it, so that the formation on the medium can play a role. The effectiveness of the rune paper depends on the formation depicted, and the power depends on the strength of the spiritual power infused. The formations depicted on the rune paper can be a single one, or a combination of different formations, or even multi-layer formations superimposed, resulting in countless types of rune paper.

No matter how complex the rune paper is, its core is always the formation!

This is common knowledge that the disciples of the Thousand Fu Sect know, and everyone will spend a lot of time learning the formation.

Refining weapons also use formations.

Refining tools are more complex than talismans and are more dependent on materials, but whether you are refining magic weapons or refining various types of embryos, almost all of them will enter formations on them to improve the performance of magic weapons or embryos. Tang Chen's cultivation was too low, and he couldn't play with the materials of a higher grade, so the master asked him to learn the formation by heart. According to the master's words: "Refining weapons, cultivation, skills and understanding of the formation method are indispensable. If your cultivation is too shallow, your skills will be limited, so you might as well spend more energy learning the formation. ”

At that time, Tang Chen had not yet worn it, and the deity was a good child, and he obeyed the master's words.

His understanding of the formation was far deeper than that of ordinary Qianfu Sect disciples.

Tang Chen quickly selected the formation to break into the rattan rope: [Sturdy] and [Water Gathering Array].

Both are basic formations, and the foundation usually represents practicality.

[Sturdy] magic circle, widely used in magic weapons, defense arrays, improve the defense effect obviously, [water gathering array] is usually used in water magic weapons, it can absorb water vapor in the air, nourish magic weapons, and slightly increase the power of magic weapons.

[Gathering Water Array] is the most important, if you can give the rattan rope into the [Gathering Water Array], the rattan rope can automatically absorb water vapor to nourish itself, and the problem of water loss related to life and death will be solved!

The rattan rope is too thin and irregular, so the difficulty of joining the formation can be imagined.

Tang Chen still did not hesitate to try, as long as there was an opportunity, he would not miss it.

He had no choice!
