Xiao Ziyang forgot the time, forgot to eat, and forgot to sleep. When you are hungry, you eat Bigu Dan, when you are sleepy, you squint for a while, and as soon as you wake up, you will plunge into it again.

During this process, Xiao Ziyang only went out once, and he bought all the spirit stones on his body for Bigu Dan.

He didn't know that the autumn wind swept away the leaves of the ginkgo trees in his courtyard, and he didn't know that the snowflakes in the road had put on plain makeup for Kowloon City. I don't know that under the blowing of the spring breeze, the trees and grass in the courtyard spit out tender shoots again. One day half a year later, Xiao Ziyang, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were confused and trance, and he muttered to himself: "No, how can it be gone?"

It turned out that he had unconsciously studied the "Formation Basics" and "Formation Preliminary Explanations" in "Purple Jade Smoke" thoroughly. He had long forgotten his original intention of studying the formation, and he was feeling confused and lost because there was no follow-up chapter.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Xiao Ziyang gradually returned to the realm of reality. He remembered who he was, where he was, and why he studied the formation.

Xiao Ziyang, who came to his senses, suddenly felt itchy all over his body. That's when it remembered that it hadn't bathed for a long, long time.

He drew a bucket of water from the well. Suddenly seeing his own reflection in the bucket, his frightened hands trembled, and he almost threw the bucket away. "Who's that wild man?"

After being stunned for a long time, he reacted, this wild man with messy hair and a half-foot-long dirty beard covered most of his face, and the uncovered face was full of mottled oil sludge!

After taking a cold shower, shaving off her beard, and taking care of herself, Xiao Ziyang came to the balcony, and after breathing in the fresh air for half an hour in front of the rolling sea of clouds, her mind completely sobered up.

At this time, Xiao Ziyang's face was sickly pale. If it weren't for "Purple Jade Smoke", the exercises would be very magical. It makes his physical body extremely strong, and ordinary monks eat Bigu Dan for half a year. I'm afraid I'll be worried about my life.

In the next few days, Xiao Ziyang stopped any cultivation and only nourished his body with purple jade mana every day, and it took more than ten days to restore his unsightly body that had been tossed.

Without taking any breaks, he once again devoted himself to the study of the First Interpretation of the Tao. He was running out of time. At this time, he didn't have half a spirit stone on his body, and the lease of the Immortal Mansion was less than two months away.

When he bought it, he was warned by Hui Xinzhai not to resell it. So, at least in this Kowloon City, he didn't want to get another half of the spirit stone.

Xiao Ziyang didn't think about selling the spirit boat, but that would put him in a desperate situation. Rather than this, he would rather leave Kowloon City and find a new place to condense the spirit shield and spirit sword.

What made Xiao Ziyang feel fortunate was that in those confused days, he did not pull out the three wind spirit stones on the spirit boat and sell them.

Xiao Ziyang once again began to study the "First Interpretation of Taoism".

To his surprise, through his in-depth mastery of the formations, he was able to learn the sermon ten times easier than before.

The problems that plagued him before have been solved. He even soon discovered that many talisman makers had studied the Tao all their lives and had not mastered the true meaning.

Daowen is actually also a kind of formation, if the formation is a large-scale and comprehensive control of the aura, then the Dao is a small-scale control of the aura.

The Tao is a small, extremely simple, but very delicate formation through the turning of the strokes, this formation has a very small control range, and the control is also very weak, unable to control the discrete vitality between heaven and earth. However, it is enough to control the vitality that has been integrated into the monk's divine thoughts, that is, mana.

This is also the principle of the formation of spells.

All sermons are actually a set of exquisite formations, and when these exquisite formations are combined, they can form formations with different functions. Some complex combinations can even achieve the effect of a real formation, that is, to control the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

A clever formation mage can change existing formations and create new formations.

At this time, Xiao Ziyang could already make some local changes to the simple formation according to his own needs.

He discovered that sermons could be changed.

However, all sermons are one, and if one sermon is changed individually, the sermon will not be able to be combined with other sermons to form a spell.

So there is no point in creating a new sermon unless a new sermon system can be created.

Xiao Ziyang also discovered that many of the strokes in the sermon actually exist to prevent mistakes. For a master who has grasped the true meaning of the sermon, these strokes are meaningless.

As long as the original effect of this sermon can be guaranteed, it doesn't matter how many or how few are there.

Just like people write, whether it is regular script or cursive script, as long as it can be guaranteed to be recognized, it is the correct character.

Taoism is like a text written for the Heaven and Earth Yuanqi, as long as the Heaven and Earth Yuanqi can be recognized, it will not care whether you write regular script or cursive.

Xiao Ziyang can be said to have mastered the "First Explanation of Taoism" quickly.

In more than 20 days, he has been able to produce any sermon he knows at any time, and he can guarantee 100% success.

The sermons that Xiao Ziyang has condensed now are all simplified, and they are at least one-third less than the original sermons. This increases his cast speed by more than 30%!

Moreover, he also found that the condensed sermon even had a trace of the mysterious artistic conception brought by the example sermon in "Purple Jade Smoke". Just a hint of it, of course. But just this hint of artistic conception actually increased the power of the invisible slash he sent out by half!

There is still a full month left. Xiao Ziyang began to condense the spirit sword without stopping.

The process of condensing the spirit sword was extremely smooth. If it weren't for his lack of mana, he would have had to stop at various nodes to recover his mana. He could even condense a spirit sword in three days. Even so, he succeeded in only eighteen days.

Looking at the three-foot-long half-moon-shaped spirit sword in front of him, emitting purple light, and looking at the complex and mysterious runes on the spirit sword. A sense of pride arose in Xiao Ziyang's heart.

He gently stroked the spirit sword, and it felt like he was caressing a part of his body.

The spirit sword danced lightly in the air with his mind, as easily as he waved his hands.

As soon as his mind moved, the spirit sword instantly submerged into his body and appeared in his dantian.

Xiao Ziyang stared inwardly, and a miniature spirit sword that was inches long was loaded and floated in the rich mana in his dantian.

This spirit sword is condensed with his mana, and although its power is only equivalent to a medium-grade magic weapon, it can communicate with his mind like a magic weapon, and it is ten times more agile than an ordinary magic weapon.
