Lin Yi must complete the task given by Zhen Shuaiqi to avoid arousing suspicion.
Therefore, during this period of time, Lin Yi often went to the Zhendao branch to see Shi Tiancai.
Naturally, there will be no progress in the mission. In fact, the two of them did not exchange a few words. They just went through the motions and made a gesture so that Lin Yi could explain to Zhen Shuaiqi and that was it.
What Lin Yi didn't expect was that the relationship between Shi Tiancai and him seemed to have eased a lot, at least not so hostile!
Moreover, one day Shi Tiancai would take the initiative to come to the alchemy branch to look for him!
"Sima Yi, are you very free?"
Shi Tiancai suddenly came to the door and asked such a question as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Lin Yi a little confused.
Why do you feel like this guy is here to prosecute?
Is this because I dislike myself for going to the Jindo branch too many times recently?
I can’t take care of this anymore, so I’d better think about it first. I am the dean of the alchemy branch. Should I say that I am very free?
"Shi Tiancai, if you have something to say, just say it directly without beating around the bush."
In the end, Lin Yi skipped the answer options and ignored Shi Tiancai's question by using offense instead of defense.
"Okay, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, so let's get straight to the point. You've been coming to my Formation branch a lot recently, and you're obviously also interested in Formation, right?"
Shi Tiancai actually felt that he had earned the title of an alchemy master. Although he was at the bronze level, he was still a real master.
Therefore, Lin Yi felt unbalanced and wanted to make achievements in the formation to prove that he was a genius not inferior to Shi Tiancai.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Lin Yi goes to the Formation Branch every now and then. Shi Tiancai does not think that Lin Yi goes to the Formation Branch because he wants to make friends with him.
He used his own mentality and stance to speculate on Lin Yi, and came to this conclusion with certainty.
Lin Yi just wanted to close the distance between him and him on the formation path, at least as close as he was to Lin Yi on the alchemy path.
In the few conversations between the two, Shi Tiancai discovered that Lin Yi did have good attainments in the formation, but the details were still unknown.
However, given his level of alchemy, he could barely be considered Shi Tiancai's opponent, so he deigned to come and ask such a question in person.
If Lin Yi was a newbie in formations, an arrogant person like Shi Tiancai would not even look at Lin Yi, let alone come to see Lin Yi in person.
"It's true that you are interested, so what do you want to do? Discuss with me the knowledge of studying formations?"
Lin Yi blinked and looked at Shi Tiancai curiously. Considering this guy's character, this shouldn't be the case!
Sure enough, a trace of disdain flashed in Shi Tiancai's eyes, and he said calmly: "There is no need to discuss the knowledge of formations. We are not familiar with it yet."
This was said very politely, but what he really meant was that Lin Yi was simply not qualified to discuss formation knowledge with him!
After all, this guy has an arrogant temperament, especially when it comes to formations, and he is absolutely unrivaled among his peers!
Even if he found that Lin Yi had considerable knowledge of formations, he just gave Lin Yi a high look.
He didn't really take Lin Yi seriously.
"I came to you today to ask if you are interested in exploring the source of the formation with me? Because there are some places in the source of the formation that require the cooperation of two people.
Yes, that’s why I came to you, don’t misunderstand anything.”
Lin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, what could I have misunderstood? This arrogant fool!
Although he didn't explain it clearly, Shi Tiancai's meaning was obvious. He felt that among his peers of similar age, only Lin Yi was qualified to compare with him.
Therefore, although the relationship between the two of them is very ordinary, he looks down upon other people even more.
"Where is the source of the formation? I have never heard of it. Can you tell me about it?"
Lin Yizhen had never heard of the source of the formation.
Although there are countless books and classics in my mind, none of them mentioned the source of the formation.
Maybe it’s because all the books on formations haven’t been included yet?
Lin Yi decided to take the time to scan the academy's library and the martial arts alliance's library. Knowledge is power, and the heritage of Fengqi Continent cannot be underestimated!
Shi Tiancai frowned slightly, seeming a little impatient.
Most of them think it is troublesome to explain to Lin Yi!
However, seeing that Lin Yi was an opponent he reluctantly recognized in his heart, Shi Tiancai did not refuse and said patiently: "The source of the formation is a relic. It is said that all the formations on Fuejiao originated from this relic!"
"As long as you can gain a little bit from the source of the formation, your formation skills will improve by leaps and bounds! However, the source of the formation is not always accessible and will only be opened every five years."
"The condition for entering is that you must reach the level of a formation master. To be honest, if you are not a master, you will probably not be able to get out after entering. Only when a master enters can you barely guarantee your own safety."
"In the source of the formation, there are hidden opportunities that allow people to break through the master level. Because of this, every time it is turned on,
Formation masters from all over the Fengqi Continent will gather here, and everyone wants to be the one who surpasses the realm of a master."
"The person who discovered the origin of the Formation Way is said to be the founder of the Formation Way. You should have heard that his surname is Sun, and he has four taboo holes. He is the veritable ancestor of the Formation Way!"
It was rare to say so many words in one breath. Shi Tiancai looked at Lin Yi and asked: "Understood? Are you interested?"
Of course Lin Yi is interested.
Not only the source of the formation, but also the name Sun Sikong!
The ancestor of Soejima's formation?
I've never heard of this guy, Lin Yizhen.
But I have heard of Sun Sikong, more than once!
Isn’t this the master of Han Jingjing and the Tattered King!?
He also came to Soejima and became the ancestor of Soejima's formation?
So how many years did he survive?
Or is this just a person with the same name? Is it a complete coincidence?
Lin Yi didn't really believe it was a coincidence.
After all, with the lessons learned from his cheap master Zhang Liju, it seems possible that Sun Sikong of Fuedao is Han Jingjing, and the master of the Rag King is not impossible!
It would be interesting if they were really the same person!
Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder if he had some plans for coming to Fuidao?
Zhang Liju and Sun Sikong are all people who are related to him. They have all been to Fuidao.
So, would it be arranged by them to come to Fuejiao?
Forget it, it’s useless to speculate too much now, let’s find out more when we have a chance!
Lin Yi shook off the thoughts in his mind and looked at Shi Tiancai with a smile: "I'm interested, yes! It's a pity that I'm not a master of the array. Didn't you say that the threshold for entering the source of the array must be a master? Aren't I not qualified?
Enter?"
"Of course you are not qualified to enter the source of formations now, but it is not a big problem. You still have some talent in formations. It shouldn't be difficult to test a bronze-level formation master, right?"
Shi Tiancai believes that someone who can become his opponent must have this level.
