Xiao Ziyang put his hands behind his back, and Shi Shiran walked up to the restaurant.

Although Bigu Dan can allow monks to skip food and drink in the short term, it is not really Bigu after all. After eating Bigu Dan for more than a month, Xiao Ziyang was about to fade out of his mouth.

The little two didn't brag, the food concocted by the restaurants in Kowloon City tasted really good. The drinks sold are also fine. Xiao Ziyang asked for a table of dishes and two jars of good wine. Meimei rewarded him for the five visceral gods who had not entered the fireworks for a long time.

Out of the restaurant, Xiao Ziyang walked leisurely towards the center of the city.

After the Question Hall renewed the rent of the Immortal Mansion for nine months, he wandered around the city.

While casually admiring the dazzling array of products in each store, he was thinking about his future arrangements.

It wasn't until sunset that he returned to the house.

He slept well that night, and it wasn't until three o'clock the next day that he got up refreshed.

After thinking about it, he already had a plan for his future cultivation.

First of all, although the spirit stones on his body were enough for him to live in this city for more than a year, these spirit stones were sourceless water, and they would be gone after using them. So he had to find a way to earn spirit stones.

He also has a certain understanding of the sinister nature of the immortal cultivation world, and it is not possible to earn spirit stones without strength, so the top priority is to improve his strength.

There are two ways for monks to improve their strength, one is to rely on their own spells. The advantage of this method is that it does not rely much on the resources of spirit stones, and it kills multiple birds with one stone. When you improve your spells, you will also have the corresponding knowledge. In the future, you can also learn more advanced spells on this basis. It's a one-and-done job.

The disadvantage is that it takes a long time, the effect is slow, and learning spells requires talent, and monks without talent spend a lot of effort and may not necessarily gain anything.

Another disadvantage is that the mana of monks is limited, especially for low-level monks. Low-level monks who don't have magic weapons are often three-plate axes. As soon as dozens of spells are released, their own mana is exhausted, and they are slaughtered by others.

The second is to rely on foreign objects such as talismans and ritual instruments. The advantage of this method is that it works quickly, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can immediately multiply your strength. Moreover, the talismans, magic weapons, only consume a small amount of the monk's own mana when facing the enemy. This multiplied the monk's ability to fight for a long time. Especially for magic weapons, a few spirit stones can allow them to fight for several hours under the full urging of the monk.

Its shortcomings are also obvious, spirit stones, a large number of spirit stones!

Moreover, if the monk relies too much on these external objects in the early stage, it will cause the magic cultivation to not keep up with his path. In the future, we can only rely on external objects forever. At a certain stage, spell cultivation will in turn hinder the improvement of its path.

Therefore, the disciples of those major sects often have a two-pronged approach.

At this time, although Xiao Ziyang had two bone swords in his hand, a bone shield, a gossip card, a red flying sword, and a spirit boat, a total of six magic weapons.

Among them, the bone sword and bone shield are magic weapons, and they cannot see the light. The red flying sword and the gossip card are the standard magic weapons of Qingyangmen, and he doesn't dare to show his hand, if he provokes the investigation of Qingyangmen, he will die and have no place to be buried.

Moreover, these magic weapons are only low-grade magic weapons, and their power is only similar to the invisible slash, which does not have much effect on the improvement of his strength.

The only thing he could do was the flying boat, although the flying boat was only a low-level magic weapon, but as a flying magic weapon, its value was not low. It can sell more than three hundred spirit stones, but if it is sold, Xiao Ziyang will immediately lose the ability to fly.

He also had some rune paper in his hand, but most of these runes were some first-order talismans. The first-level attack charms are all about selling. These few pieces in Xiao Ziyang's hand are worth two or three lower-grade spirit stones. There is only one second-order protection spell, and the rune paper of the earth shield technique is still worth some spirit stones.

The second-level protective talismans such as the Earth Shield Talisman are extremely useful for low-level monks. If it's a new talisman, it's very easy to sell. There are a lot of people in the acquisition. The price is also good, you can buy thirty or forty spirit stones.

However, looking at the looming sermon on the talisman in his hand, even Xiao Ziyang himself did not dare to use it in battle, and it was something that no one dared to accept if he gave it away.

With Xiao Ziyang's cultivation at this time, only a medium-grade magic weapon can greatly increase his strength, but any medium-grade magic weapon also requires thousands of spirit stones. Even the cheapest offensive magic weapon among them cost thousands of spirit stones.

Therefore, Xiao Ziyang had no choice at this time, and could only work spells.

What made him a little relieved was that according to his cultivation of Invisible Slash and Invisible Escape, his talent in spells should not be bad. His mana is also much stronger than that of fellow monks.

If he can master the two spells of the Spirit Shield Technique and the Spirit Sword Technique, it is actually equivalent to having two medium-grade magic weapons, but to master these two spells, he needs to study the formation.

The discipline of formation requires a monk's comprehension and talent to be extremely high. This made the vast majority of monks shy away from it. Among the monks, there is not one in a hundred who can master the formation.

However, Xiao Ziyang can only bite the bullet at this time, and he can only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, his path of cultivation will be extremely difficult.

In the past, Xiao Ziyang also often studied the "Basic Formation Chapter" in "Purple Jade Smoke", but because it was too complicated, Xiao Ziyang's cultivation was also shallow at that time, and it was impossible to master the two advanced spells of Spirit Shield Technique and Spirit Sword Technique, so he let it go.

In the following days, Xiao Ziyang plunged headlong into the study of the formation.

In the first month, Xiao Ziyang was never allowed to enter. In desperation, Xiao Ziyang secretly sold the two bone swords and bone shields, scraped together five hundred spirit stones, and bought a record of the experience of this formation in Huixinzhai.

In the southwest corner of Kowloon City, there is a small market where there is a loose cultivation and mutual communication, and when Xiao Ziyang accidentally walked here, he saw someone selling magic weapons, so he had the courage to sell them in three parts. But he didn't dare to take out the two higher-quality and more valuable Qingyangmen standard magic weapons anyway.

In order to get the formation record, Xiao Ziyang, who was very happy, did not expect that his business was seen by people with intentions, and he almost attracted death.

The formation experience record that Xiao Ziyang bought was written by a formation genius who was not highly cultivated, but was quite famous in Kowloon City. This person's writing is good, the content of the transcript is very clear, and the analysis of some key points is also very good.

According to this record, Xiao Ziyang finally stepped into the door of the formation.

With the deepening of Xiao Ziyang's learning of formation. He gradually discovered that the senior who created the "Purple Jade Smoke" exercise should be a master who has studied the formation method very well. His explanation of the formation can be said to be simple and thorough.

Compared with the formation chapter of "Purple Jade Smoke", the transcript of that formation genius is like the comparison between the arithmetic notes of a primary school student and the mathematics textbook written by a math master.

However, it is precisely because that senior's formation knowledge is too profound. On the contrary, I didn't point out some very simple tricks. That's why it's hard for him to get started.

Once Xiao Ziyang entered, he was immediately guided into the wonderful world of the formation by the formation chapter of "Purple Jade Smoke". Under its guidance, Xiao Ziyang experienced the joy of controlling the vitality of heaven and earth. Whether it's a gentle water vitality, or a naughty wind vitality, or a violent thunder vitality...... All moved according to his command. This wonderful formation world made him happy and forgetful.
