Lu Ye would naturally not activate the talent tree here to absorb the power of earth fire. People kindly brought him to build the formation flag, but it would be outrageous to do so.
That's poaching someone else's corner.
The furnace quickly turned red. Bai Lao raised his hand and threw a metal ingot into the furnace. He asked Lu Ye at the same time: "How do you generally choose the materials for making formation flags and formation bases?"
"Usually, we need to choose a metal that is light and strong, and at the same time has strong conductivity to spiritual power. Honeycomb steel and black iron are the most commonly used materials. In addition, if necessary, some monster animal skins can also be used for the flag.
Refining..."
Lu Ye recalled Bai Qian's previous teachings and talked eloquently.
Bai Qian nodded with satisfaction and asked a few more questions, which Lu Ye answered quickly.
"Theories are just theories after all. To master these theories, you must also have the ability to implement them, otherwise it will be just talk on paper."
The metal ingot thrown into the furnace by Bai Qian quickly turned into a flowing liquid. He mobilized his spiritual power and raised his hand to grab it. The red and hot liquid was immediately grabbed by him. Under the control and restraint of his spiritual power, this
The liquid mass immediately transformed into the shape of the formation flag.
"When you have strong enough control over your own spiritual power, you can refine the formation flag without resorting to external force. If you can't, you can use a mold." With that said, he placed the hot liquid into the
In a mold pit on the forging platform, that is the mold for the formation flag.
After cooling down for a while, Bai Qian took out the rough base of the formation flag, grabbed the hammer and smashed it down.
With one hammer blow, Lu Ye seemed to hear a series of hammer sounds, but the many blows were connected together, making it difficult for him to distinguish the true from the false.
"Whether you are refining the formation flag or the spiritual weapon, you need to have strong control over your own power. The biggest reason why the formation flag and the spiritual weapon can work is because of the restrictions imprinted on them. There are no restrictions, no matter how precious the materials are.
It's just an empty shell. An outstanding weapon refiner can change the internal structure of the weapon during the process of forging the weapon, thereby forming the restrictions. It is even said that some weapon refiners can use a material to forge a weapon.
Then use a material to create a restriction, and combine the two into one, which can make the spiritual weapon more powerful, but that requires very high skills. I don't have any talent in this way, so I can't do this kind of thing."
Along with Bai Qian's words, there were sounds of hammering. Lu Ye watched carefully and found that every time he struck, the hammer would shake violently. This could form the dense hammering sound and gain insight into the spiritual pattern.
With his eyes open, Lu Ye could see more clearly. As Bai Qian said, as he struck, the internal structure of the weapon was undergoing subtle changes, forming a series of restrictions.
"That's why I said that people like you who master the five elements of fire and have practiced fire-based exercises have unique advantages in forging weapons and weapons. When your skills become advanced in the future, you can refine them in the air without the help of foreign objects.
Whatever you want, you can use many skills as you like, but your cultivation level is still low at the moment, so don't think about this, laying a good foundation is the most important thing."
"yes."
The jingling sound kept ringing out, and in just one stick of incense time, a small formation flag only as big as a palm came out of the oven.
The formation flag is just a carrier, and the restrictions inside the formation flag are the key. Depending on the restrictions, the formation flag can play different roles. However, a single formation flag is useless. Different formation flags are connected together.
, only in this way can we set up and break the formation.
After watching it from beginning to end, Lu Ye found that it was not difficult to forge the formation flag. It could be said that as long as there was a mold, you could easily make a rough blank of the formation flag. Even if it was ugly, it didn't matter. The difficulty was in the formation flag.
Create restrictions within it.
This is different from him urging his own spiritual power to construct spiritual patterns. He has a high degree of control over his own spiritual power, and even constructing those spiritual patterns learned from books is not difficult.
You can use a hammer to knock out the spiritual patterns to form a restriction, and it still needs to be formed inside the formation flag, which is not generally difficult.
"Try it!" Bai Qian ordered.
Lu Ye nodded. It would be better to start it once after watching it ten times. Bai Qian had already shown him how to build the formation flag once. Although he didn't understand much about Bai Qian's crafting method, he had to practice it himself to understand this kind of thing.
He took a metal ingot from Bai Qian and threw it into the furnace. After it turned into a liquid, he used his spiritual power to wrap it up, take it out, and place it in a mold. After cooling slightly, Lu Ye grabbed the hammer on the side and recalled
Using Bai Qian's technique, the hammer fell.
Two distinct rhythmic ding-ding sounds sounded, and as Lu Ye beat, the spiritual power began to surge.
"It's just the beginning. Don't be too anxious. You must first learn how to use beatings to put your spiritual power into the formation flag, and use your spiritual power to change the internal structure of the formation flag. Only in this way can you build spiritual patterns in the formation flag.
, forming a restriction." Bai Qian taught carefully from the side.
"yes."
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...
Lu Ye was sweating profusely, and Bai Qian gave advice from time to time. Each time the advice was on the key points, allowing Lu Ye to clearly realize his shortcomings.
Fail again and again, repeat again and again.
Fortunately, practicing in this way will not cause a waste of materials. If it is broken, just throw it into the furnace to recast it and continue to forge it.
The soul-cleansing water given to Bai Qian before had no doubt played its role. Otherwise, how could Bai Qian personally teach Lu Ye so painstakingly as he was a member of a foreign sect.
It wasn't until one day later that a somewhat rough formation flag came out.
Bai Qian checked it a little and nodded slightly: "It's not bad, but there are a lot of areas that need improvement. Let's continue."
With the first successful experience, it will become easier to create other formation flags.
As time passed, a flag array was built.
According to Bai Qian's previous teachings, the most basic formation flag has thirty-six poles. With Lu Ye's current level of cultivation, as long as he builds these thirty-six formation flags, it is basically enough.
There is no rush to create a more advanced formation flag for the time being. It will not be too late to consider it after his cultivation level and formation attainments improve in the future.
At the beginning, Lu Ye could only build one formation flag a day on average, mainly because it was too difficult. It was simple to change the internal structure of the formation flag with one hammer, but he wanted to change this structure into the unique pattern of the spirit pattern.
It’s difficult. Once a mistake is made, it will have to be recast.
According to Bai Qian, a true master of weapon refining can often directly create a spiritual pattern with one hammer blow. In this way, both the efficiency and fault tolerance of the weapon refining are greatly improved.
For monks like Lu Ye who master the five elements of fire and have also practiced fire-based exercises, once their cultivation is advanced enough, they can directly use their spiritual power to change the internal structure of the formation flag, without the need to knock it.
By the time Lu Ye finished refining the most basic set of formation flags, half a month had passed.
As Bai Qian walked out of the forging workshop, under the dazzling sunlight, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel like he was in another world.
"Go back and rest today. I will take you to the Hundred Formation Tower tomorrow." Bai Qian took him back to his residence, gave him instructions and left.
After Bai Qian left, Lu Ye lay directly on the bed without wanting to move and fell into a deep sleep.
It took half a month to refine the formation flag, and I hardly rested during this period, so I was really tired.
When she woke up, Yiyi had prepared a sumptuous meal. Lu Yehu ate a big meal, and then he felt restored to his strength.
Bai Qian arrived as promised, used his spiritual power to wrap up Lu Ye and flew in a certain direction.
Not long after, the two of them landed in a valley. In the valley stood a stone tower dozens of feet high. The base of the tower was almost ten feet in diameter. A strong sense of vicissitudes of life hit their faces.
This is the purpose of Lu Ye coming to Tianyan Sect, the Hundred Formation Tower.
It's just that his initial thinking was too simple, thinking that he could enter the Hundred Formation Tower after coming to Tianyan Sect. As a result, it took him a month and a half just to learn the formation ways from Bai Qian and build the formation flag.
But it is worth it in the end, as the saying goes, sharpening the sword will never waste time chopping wood.
Just as the Tianyan Sect evacuated all the people from the forging workshop to prevent the news that Lu Ye was still alive from leaking out, today the Tianyan Sect also evacuated all the people here, and the valley where the Hundred Formation Tower is located was completely sealed off.
So when Bai Qian brought Lu Ye here, there was no one here.
The Hundred Formation Tower is not complete. From the outside, this stone tower seems to have been cut off from the middle. Only the lower half of the tower body is missing, and the upper half is missing.
Zhao Li told Lu Ye before that the Hundred Formation Tower is divided into three parts, one part is in Tianyan Sect, and the other part is in Yunhe Battlefield. As for the last part, no one knows where it is, and it has never appeared before.
At the base of the stone tower at the bottom, there is a stone tablet. The spiritual light flows on the stone tablet, and occasionally some random lines appear.
Lu Ye stared at it for a while, not understanding what these lines were.
"It is said that this is a list." Bai Qian explained at the side, "Anyone who has entered the Hundred Formation Tower and performed well is qualified to leave his name on this list and be admired by future generations. However, because the tower itself is incomplete,
, so there is no way to reveal this list. Perhaps only by making the Hundred Formation Tower complete can this monument regain its effectiveness."
He turned his head and looked at Lu Ye seriously: "I think you have learned some information about the Hundred Formation Tower in the past few days. There are opportunities in the tower, but there are also dangers. When entering this tower, remember one thing, you must do what you can.
"
"yes."
In the Tianyan Sect these days, he has naturally learned about the information of the Hundred Formation Tower from various aspects, and knows that Bai Qian is not exaggerating. Entering the Hundred Formation Tower will be of great benefit to the cultivation of the Tao. It can be said that the entire Kyushu Haotian Alliance's cultivation
All the formation cultivators would try their best to come to Tianyan Sect to break into the Hundred Formation Tower. Tianyan Sect also welcomed this and did not take it personally, and never even gained any benefit from it.
But it is undeniable that this Hundred Formation Tower has brought many connections to Tianyan Sect, which is an intangible benefit.
The Hundred Formation Tower is very dangerous. Not only the formations contained in the Hundred Formation Tower are dangerous, but also the benefits obtained after passing the test of each level. These benefits themselves are also dangerous.
There are many formation cultivators who died because of breaking into the Hundred Formation Tower, including some genius formation cultivators from major sects.
