Hearing Jin Mushui's complaint, Ma was evil and angry. How could this Jin King's cultivator be so domineering? And Mr. Namo didn't even come forward to uphold justice, so that guy still left like this.

Yuan Wuji clamored to settle accounts with that fat man, Jin Mushui also felt that he couldn't stand this kind of anger, he had always practiced with his master, and he didn't know that there were such characters among these big sects and powerful cultivators.

"Those three monks still want us to send them ten spirit stones, it's really too much!" Yuan Wuji said.

"Ma Xie! I can't stand this kind of bird anger! I'd better go find Feng Buping, at least it's all loose cultivation there, so as not to make things difficult and humiliate us like this. Jin Mushui was also very depressed, he didn't know any people here, so he was really uncomfortable.

Ma Xie comforted Jin Mushui and said: "Brother Jin, don't pay attention to them, we should drink wine and drink, eat meat and eat meat, what do these people do!"

Although Ma Xie was also angry in his heart, considering the identities of these three people, he didn't want to cause too much trouble to the Stone City Lord, so he ate and drank with Yuan Wuji and Jin Mushui in the room.

Jin Mushui is a straight person, and his temper comes and goes quickly, and after a few glasses of wine, he forgot all about this afternoon.

After the wine was exhausted, Ma Xie lay on the bed in a daze, although Jin Mushui was no longer angry, but Ma Xie was a little worried, the three cultivators sent by the King of Jin did not seem to be so easy to deal with, which would be a crucial point in their future actions.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Ma Xie decided to use the remaining ten days to improve his strength, and what Ma Xie needed to do now was to break through his realm to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible, and he had always wanted to learn the formation.

Today's Ma Xie does not have a weapon to take advantage of, although the giant sword came to Stone City and entrusted the city lord to help him repair it, but Ma Xie has never been very comfortable with the giant sword, and Ma Xie does not want to carry such a big sword into the secret realm.

Another point is that Ma Xie's current identity is Mr. Mo's nephew, and he is not a swordsman, so Ma Xie doesn't want to take out the weapon he is good at until the critical moment, and before that, he will disguise himself as a body refiner.

Ma Xie's physique has been tempered many times, and its tenacity is comparable to that of Jin Mu Shui, and if he disguises himself as a body refiner, he will not arouse the suspicion of others at all.

And in these ten days, out of the fourth layer of breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm, Ma Xie still has a way to enhance his strength, that is, to study the formation!

Ever since he learned that the existence of the formation was lagging behind, Ma Xie had always been very curious about this kind of thing. Especially after seeing Fei Shao's sword array, Ma Xie was even more attracted by the tremendous power of this sword array.

Fei Shao was just a disciple of the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and he was able to exert his strength beyond the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm with his formation, especially in terms of attack, he showed an incomparable advantage.

Ma Xie knew the breadth and profundity of the formation, he didn't seek to become a formation master, but just wanted to make achievements in the "sword formation", and when he encountered a crisis situation, he could rely on the sword formation to save the day.

Ma Xie opened the book of "Acting in the Sky" and read it through the light.

This "Acting Record" is a booklet for the introduction of formations, which briefly introduces the principles of formations and the basics of a formation mage.

In "Yantianlu", the author believes that the essence of the formation is to use the formation pattern to change the flow of aura to create a special environment for a minute.

The law of the flow of aura in the formation is completely different from that of the outside world, and when the aura passes through different formations, these formations will stimulate all kinds of strange powers, and if this power is bound within a certain range, a variety of formations will be formed.

Therefore, for a stable formation, first of all, there must be a formation pattern that can change the operation mode of the aura; second, it needs sufficient aura—so each formation will consume a lot of materials, and the place where these materials are placed is the "array eye"; third, it needs a formation master who can manipulate the formation and change the operation of the formation at any time according to different situations.

If there is no formation mage to operate in the formation, then the "formation eye" can only be hidden in a place that is difficult to detect, so as to ensure that the formation is not destroyed and the formation can operate normally.

Looking at the description of the formation in "Yan Tianlu", Ma Xie gradually had a clear direction in his heart, it seems that if he wants to become a formation mage, the most basic thing is to use aura to construct a "formation pattern".

As the name suggests, the "formation pattern", like the "rune" of the talisman, is a pattern outlined with aura, and this pattern will generate great power under the action of aura.

In order to outline the "formation pattern", there are strong requirements for the control of the aura.

First of all, the spiritual energy of the practitioner must be able to be released, and after being released, it must be transformed into "spiritual silk" one after another, and this "spiritual silk" is the key to forming the "formation pattern".

Ma Xie made a move, although his aura can be released, but if he wants to turn into a "spiritual silk" like hair, it seems that it is still a little short.

The thread he made with aura was obviously much thicker than his hair, and it wasn't very long, just a little longer than the "golden needle" he had condensed.

However, with the experience of turning the aura into a needle before, Ma Xie is very confident that he will learn to learn the first step of the formation arrangement, the "aura line".

"Reiki Silk...... It's not easy! It's not like you can succeed in one or two strokes, it seems that I have to work hard in the past ten days!" Ma Xie muttered to himself, setting a goal for himself.

If there is a person who learns the formation in front of Ma Xie at this moment, he will definitely scold, because all those who have studied the formation know that this "spiritual qi silk" is the most critical step in whether or not the formation can be cultivated!

Although many outstanding cultivators can condense sword qi and sword light to fight, it is impossible for them to condense their spiritual energy into "spiritual silk" like a hair.

Because this is something that can only be done by someone who has a strong control of Reiki, and if you don't have the talent for it, no matter how much you train, you won't be able to produce results. In order to condense the aura into "spiritual silk", what is needed is to control the aura and its subtleties, not only to change the form of the aura, but also to maintain this form for a long time.

Therefore, only when many cultivators reach the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm, after refining the "Divine Sense" with the Spiritual Qi, can they gradually condense the "Spiritual Silk" with the help of the powerful "Divine Consciousness", and only at that time can they embark on the cultivation of the Array Mage, this process is called the "Holy Presence".

And before the assistance of a powerful divine sense, there were very few formation mages who achieved this purpose with the subtle control of the aura.

Array mages are an ancient profession that has existed since the first appearance of cultivators, just like rune masters.

It's just that the original array mages and runes were not as powerful as ordinary cultivators, and at that time, there were just some cultivators who liked to study and discovered that allowing the aura to flow according to the trajectory that did not pass through could produce different effects.

Over time, people recorded these trajectories bit by bit, and gradually formed two schools: the "array mage" who carved the formation pattern on the earth and the "rune master" who carved the rune on the rune paper.

Array mages and talismans are people who like to abide by the rules, because the formation patterns in their hands are constantly reminding them that only by acting strictly according to the rules can they produce the power they deserve.

Therefore, the formation mage and the rune master have an almost paranoid pursuit of the rules, all the formation mages and runes have this strict master lineage, and there are strict boundaries between each school, they are ashamed of transgression, and they will not easily pass on the accumulation of their master for tens of thousands of years, even if there are monks who are self-taught, they will not be recognized.

So when Fei Shao knew that he could be a formation mage, he was simply ecstatic, a monk of the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, if he could arrange the formation, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a "genius".

However, due to the strong view of the formation mage, and the most exclusive thing is to steal the formation, there are several formation mages invited by the Tianwu Sect at a high price, but they will only arrange some simple formations such as "Gathering Spirit Array" and "Double Tiger Array", and they are not qualified to preach to others, Fei Shao can only study it secretly.

Although he has no talent in cultivation, Fei Shao still relied on his own efforts and talent to finally arrange a simple formation "Sancai Sword Formation", but unfortunately his talent has not brought him any benefits, and he was nipped in the bud by Ma Xie, and Fei Shao spent two full years from contacting the formation to being able to condense the spirit silk, and it took him another five years to lay out the formation from condensing the spirit silk!

And Ma Xie actually wanted to condense the "Spirit Silk" in more than ten days, if this word spread, I don't know how many array mages would laugh at this arrogant boy.

Maybe Ma Xie had not come into contact with those old-fashioned and traditional formation mages, so he didn't have a little pressure in his heart, and there was no difference between condensing spiritual silk and condensing gold for him, it was just a way of cultivation.

The next morning, Ma Xie was woken up by a sharp knock on the door.

"Brother Ma, the city lord is invited!" It turned out that it was Song Xue'er who had just finished practicing in the morning, this energetic little girl had been seizing the time to practice, not only practicing the breathing method, but also learning physical skills with Jin Mushui, and several sets of Xingyi Quan had already played well.

Ma Xie woke up Jin Mushui and Yuan Wuji, who were still asleep, and led them to the stone city lord's living room.

There were a few people sitting on the top of the hall, and Ma Xie walked in, and as he expected, it was the Lord of Shicheng, Mr. Mo, and three strangely dressed monks.

One of them is round and round, and it seems that it is the "Silver Venerable" that Jin Mushui said.

The other two men were dressed in golden robes, their faces were yellow, their eyes seemed to burst out, and the most striking thing was his golden hair.

The two of them sat opposite each other, while next to the stone city lord's left hand sat a silver-haired, ruddy-complexed, smooth-skinned monk who was smiling slightly at Ma Xie and Jin Mushui who walked in.

"Ma Xie, you're here. The Lord of the Stone City said with a serious expression: "Let me introduce you to you, this is the monk Master Yan Bingyan under the command of the King of Jin, also known as the "Jade Venerable". He was a cultivator at the peak of the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and he was also the captain of our operation this time. And the two below are Master Yan's two righteous brothers, the Golden Venerable and the Silver Venerable. ”

Then he said to Yan Wei: "Master Yan, this is Master Mo's nephew Mo Xuyou, and this one is his friend Jin Mushui, both of whom are at the peak of the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and both have good strength. ”

After saying this, the Silver Venerable let out a "cut" sound from his mouth, obviously not taking Ma Xie and Jin Mushui in his eyes.

That Yan Wei was an old man, and said to Shi Gandang and Master Mo behind Shi Kangdang: "Master Mo's nephew is naturally extraordinary, I think he should show his skills in this treasure hunt!

After saying that, the Golden Venerable and the Silver Venerable laughed.

I only heard Mr. Mo say coldly: "What Master Yan said is very true, my nephew is ugly, and he has never dared to show his true face, for fear of scaring others. I have been criticizing him for this, to learn from the two Venerable Ones of Gold and Silver, no matter what his appearance, he dares to walk in the world, this is great courage and courage!"

Ma Xie and Jin Mushui almost laughed when they heard Mr. Mo's serious nonsense, and the Jin and Yin Venerables were also angry, but obviously they didn't dare to make a sound because of Mr. Mo's strength.

Yan Wei, who provoked the incident, also had an ugly face, and suffered a loss in words, but he knew that this Mr. Mo was only stronger than him, and although he was the envoy of King Jin, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of cultivators who were higher than him.
