Chapter 150 Formation and Refining
Hong Kui continued: "Not only that, many changes in formations in this book involve the Hundred Weapons Killing Formation, such as this..."
"Stop it."
Qin Long quickly stopped Hong Kui's science popularization. Once this guy started talking, he would never stop talking, "Now that you have understood these two formations, can you change the formation in the front yard to Scale Dragon Golden Kill?"
Formation?"
"No." Hong Kui shook his head.
"Why?"
Looking at Hong Kui's affirmative expression, Qin Long couldn't help but ask, in his opinion, this kind of formation is like a math problem that can be solved smoothly as long as you find the method.
"The formation requirements of Lincong Golden Kill are very high, and my cultivation is not up to it. Moreover, Lincong Golden Kill is a real mountain guarding formation, and it is so large that it cannot fit in the front yard."
Qin Long nodded, this is true. The Chen family's hundred-weapon killing array is a low-end version. After the real hundred-weapon killing array is activated, it can cover the entire mountain pass. There are so many weapons in it that it's like rain in a storm, and the martial fire can't even enter it.
It may not be possible to get it all out.
"Can the wooden cage array distinguish between enemy and friendly monks? I want to replace the old array in the front yard."
Thinking of the way the soul-stealing sword in the formation slashed out uncontrollably, Qin Long couldn't stop complaining about the hundred-weapon killing formation. If he hadn't been bad at setting up formations, he would have wanted to change it for him immediately.
It is a big problem to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Apart from the newly learned Wuyue Palm, Qin Long's training is almost all in close combat. The Hundred Weapon Killing Formation is powerful. But when the big formation is activated, all his skills are useless and he can only stand.
Staring outside the array.
The last time he was able to successfully enter the formation was because the Three Musketeers were just slightly stronger than the Soul Reaper Sword. Being trapped in the formation and driving all other weapons out of the formation gave him a chance.
Next time if he meets a real master like Luo Yutian who can crush the formation, this formation will not only not help him, but will actually make him lose an important combat power.
"You can distinguish between friend and foe. You just need to slightly modify it and put some tokens on your body. However, I did not consider this aspect in the formation I deployed before. I will try it later."
Hong Kui became silent as he spoke and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the formation diagram in front of him.
Seeing him like this, Qin Long quietly left the room. He was very happy that Hong Kui could find a direction for his own struggle. Although he didn't know how he was going to try, he probably had an idea.
It was still early, so Qin Longxin went to the front yard to continue to familiarize himself with Liu Piaoyao's footwork and practice the Five Mountains Palm Technique.
Just when he had just found some idea of the pace, a shrill scream came from the backyard.
"Huh? The voice is very strange. Could it be that there is an invasion from a foreign enemy?"
Qin Long's figure jumped a few times, Liu Piaoyao flickered twice at the turn, passed through the middle door and came to the backyard. Before the blurry shadow stopped, he took out the soul-stealing sword in his hand.
However, the next moment the soul-stealing sword was taken back.
Lin Fan was trapped in a large wooden cage. The vines of the wooden cage tied his hands and feet tightly and hung him upside down in the sky. Miserable screams were constantly coming from his mouth.
"Help, help, I will never come to the black market again!"
"What the hell are you calling? This is just a trap formation with no lethality at all. If you struggle hard, the vines will open on their own." Hong Kui stood not far away, holding several formation diagrams in his hand and comparing them with each other.
"Is it enough to just struggle for a while?" Lin Fan also noticed that the vines on his body were not very strong. Although he didn't understand why there were such things as formations in the yard, Hong Kui obviously seemed very knowledgeable.
He twitched his hands and feet vigorously and struggled in the wooden cage.
It was a good thing that he didn't struggle. Once he struggled, all the vines that were quietly climbing on the cage got wrapped around him, instantly tying Lin Fan into a takraw ball.
"Well, after changing the size of the wooden cage formation, without making any changes in other places, the vines will not all be dispatched to attack the enemies inside. It will take fierce resistance to attract the vines to target."
Hong Kui showed such an expression when he saw this scene, and quickly recorded something on the formation diagram.
Qin Long couldn't laugh or cry. He had already figured out who was the culprit of all this. Lin Fan was the weapon refiner he hired to train, so why did he suddenly become Hong Kui's guinea pig?
Just when he was trying to get Hong Kui to put him down, he unexpectedly saw him first.
"Lord Molong, I have made a new breakthrough! Sir, look at it." Hong Kui said happily with the array diagram in Yang's hand.
Before Qin Long could say anything, Hong Kui slightly added or subtracted the positions of the array materials, and the wooden cage array that had turned into a sepak takraw ball for a century suddenly spread out.
Qin Long breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that although Hong Kui was a little obsessed with formations, fortunately he still had some sense and would not be cruel to his colleagues. This level of "communication" was still acceptable.
"Crack!"
Two crisp whipping sounds sounded from the cage. Qin Long looked at Lin Fan in surprise. He was surrounded by several raised vine whips.
His hands and feet were already tied, but the vines wrapped around his body turned into long whips and whipped towards him.
"Hong Kui, quickly release the formation!" Qin Long said urgently.
"My lord, this is just a test. Those vine whips are very weak and won't hurt him."
Of course, Qin Long knew that he would not hurt Lin Fan. He could see that the power of the formation was only at the foundation level. This formation focused on trapping the enemy, and its lethality was already weak. In Hong Kui, if he deliberately reduced it, it would only leave Lin Fan vulnerable.
hurt.
But there is a difference between flogging and trapping the enemy!
This kind of criminal law is usually used to punish servants. It is a kind of criminal law that is punishing and humiliating. If it is used on Lin Fan here, it may have a counterproductive effect on his subsequent plans to win over.
"Crack!"
Hong Kui didn't think so carefully at all. As he spoke, a green cane was already slapped on Lin Fan's back.
Lin Fan screamed in pain, twisting his whole body and trying to escape from this place as soon as possible. However, the binding force of the vines was obviously stronger, and he was pulled in place even if he didn't even think about leaving.
"Hong Kui, you..."
Qin Long didn't expect his hands to be so fast. He rubbed his feet and activated the Yin-Yang fish to flash to the edge of the wooden cage. He pointed his knife and directly cut the wooden dragon open with a gap running up and down.
A gap could not destroy the wooden cage array. When the vines sensed the appearance of new enemies, they stretched out to tie Qin Long into the array.
How could Qin Long give them a chance? The silk thread trapped in the mountain appeared from the earth-yellow aura and instantly cut off the vines wrapped around Lin Fan's hands and feet. He tapped his foot lightly on the wooden cage and floated away to the distance. He stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Fan away.
The formation range was extended.
"Lord Molong?"
Lin Fan was finally brought out, and he patted his chest with lingering fear. Just as he was about to thank the monk for rescuing him, he saw a somewhat familiar face. After a moment of confusion, he finally remembered who it was.
"Thank you for saving me, sir. I met you once outside Shiyu City before I went to Lin Fan. You may not remember me. I was suddenly kidnapped by a high-level monk that day. When I came back, I came to this den of thieves.
.”
As he spoke, he pointed to Hong Kui who was busy comparing formations in the distance and said: "This man is a formation cultivator, and his methods are extremely vicious. I was trapped by him just as I was about to escape. If the adults hadn't arrived in time, I would have died."
!”
Lin Fan's expression was full of resentment. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a weapon in his hand, he would have rushed to find Hong Kui and risked his life.
Qin Long touched his nose in embarrassment. He had a lot of responsibility for Lin Fan being used to test the formation. He should find some test animals for Hong Kui. It was always inappropriate to use monks to test the formation.
"Sir, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's kill that monk and leave here quickly. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the owner of this place to stop him and use formations to trap us before leaving."
Hearing that Lin Fan wanted to kill Hong Kui with his own hands, Qin Long couldn't help but look ugly. He wanted to scold Lin Fan, but then he thought about it and realized that he and Hong Kui didn't know each other.
In addition, Hong Kui was wrong in making the first move, and he directly used him as a guinea pig. If he had used the Yin-Yang Fish to kill him, and ended up refuting him, it would be damned for Lin Fan to stay.
His face softened, he coughed slightly and said, "Lin Fan, actually the owner of this place is me."
"ah?"
"Let's get to know each other. This is Hong Kui, a foundation-building formation cultivator. The person who kidnapped you before was Yan Yuan, a foundation-building peak weapon refiner. Welcome to the black market."
"This..." Lin Fan looked at Hong Kui, then at the huge backyard, and finally moved his eyes to Qin Long's face.
"Lord Molong, are you from the black market?"
Qin Long shook his head: "No, I have been living in Shiyu City before, but I just came to the black market by chance to develop. Putting aside these things, I came to you because I saw that you have the talent to refine weapons. Are you willing?
Stay in the black market and learn weapon refining with me?"
"Sir, are you talking about refining weapons or cultivating spiritual energy?"
Weapon refining and Qi training have the same pronunciation, but Lin Fan can't relate to either of them. When he heard that the other party asked him to go to refining weapons together, he had doubts.
"Of course you are refining weapons. You may not have noticed it yourself, but you have a strong talent for refining weapons." Qin Long said with certainty.
"Sir, you are joking. How could I have the talent to refine weapons?" Lin Fan shook his head in despair. It seemed that he was destined to disappoint this Lord Molong.
"Let me ask you, what's the difference between them?"
Qin Long took out two long knives from the space bag. Both handles were of third-level mid-grade quality. One was refined by himself and the other was taken out from the Chen family's treasure house.
The two long knives have never been used, but one looks ordinary, while the other is a little thinner. Except for the appearance, everything else is very similar. Only he knows in his heart which one is better and which one is worse.
If an outsider were to judge it, they would think that the slender knife made by Qin Long would be worse, because the slender knife would obviously suffer more in terms of size and weight.
"this..."
After Lin Fan looked at it for a moment, he tried both handles, pointed at the sword refined by Qin Long and said: "Compared to the two, this one is naturally better."
Qin Long raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Why?"
"The materials of these two knives are fine iron, and their luster and aura perception are both third-level mid-grade. There is not much difference at first glance, but this knife is more symmetrical, and although the shape is a bit awkward, it is used for chopping.
It’s very easy to cut.”
"That's right! I made this long knife myself, and I'm optimistic about it."
As he spoke, Qin Long held knives in both hands, and the blades of the knives struck each other. There was only a crisp sound, and a deep dent was cut out of the long knife taken from the Chen family's treasure house, while Qin Long refined it
