Fang Yang's heart suddenly became enlightened, and he smiled knowingly at He Dong and said, "Then I'll thank Brother He."
If outsiders heard this, they would be frightened to death. A foundation-building monk actually had a friendship with a Qi-training monk. This is something that no one in this world would dare to think about.
These days, Fang Yang provided elixirs, and He Dong taught Fang Yang the formation method. The cooperation was very pleasant.
Under He Dong's careful guidance, Fang Yang's mastery of formations is now as good as the more outstanding qi training disciples of Qingluo Peak.
As Fang Yang's strength improves, he may become even more powerful in the future.
He Dong took out a blue jade slip and gave it to Fang Yang and said, "Here are the secret formation techniques that only foundation-building monks can practice. At the same time, it also contains my insights into the formation method."
He Dong paused and then said: "By the way, your qualifications are not good. I also added a very practical spirit gathering formation. You also know that I was already relatively old when I was cultivating, so I can build the foundation."
What a fluke!”
"Brother He, you mean..." Fang Yang said in shock.
"Yes, this spirit gathering formation is an ancient thing that I got by chance. It has helped me a lot. I hope you, Brother Yang, will keep it a secret for me! Otherwise, we will all be in disaster!"
He Dong paused and then said: "With the Spirit Gathering Array, my cultivation has been going very smoothly, but after reaching the foundation building stage, my spiritual thoughts have been unable to rise. If I still can't break through, if it weren't for your spiritual elixir, I'm afraid
In the future, I will be stuck in the foundation-building stage for the rest of my life."
As expected, He Dong was fundamentally different from ordinary Foundation Establishment monks, because Fang Yang was of great help to him. He not only taught him everything he could, but also directly taught the Foundation Establishment monks the formation techniques.
It can be seen that He Dong not only has great trust in Fang Yang, but also believes that Fang Yang will achieve extraordinary things in the future.
Helping Fang Yang at this time not only made him a good friend, but also gave him a friend he could rely on.
After returning to Wanmu Peak from Qingluo Peak, Fang Yang began to tinker with the formation jade slips given to him by He Dong.
Of course, the first thing Fang Yang looked at was the spirit gathering formation recommended by He Dong.
Fang Yang discovered that this spirit gathering array was indeed very different from ordinary spirit gathering arrays.
Ordinary spirit gathering arrays only have a few or ten positions, but this spirit gathering array is actually divided into three sets.
They include 356 formation positions, 3,600 formation positions, and the last one is 84,000 formation positions.
The so-called formation position refers to the position that needs to be filled with formation flags or spiritual stones when arranging the formation.
This is also a sign of the complexity of the formation.
The general Three Talents Spirit Gathering Formation only has three positions, and even the Three Talents Spirit Gathering Formation with added five elements attributes only has eight positions.
And the lowest layout of this spirit gathering array requires 356 positions.
"I wonder where Brother He found this weird spirit gathering array!" Fang Yang felt dizzy looking at the complicated array diagram.
"It seems that Brother He is right. He didn't start cultivation until he was twenty-five years old, and he reached the foundation building stage in just over ten years! He really relied on this formation to do well!" Fang Yang became more surprised the more he looked at the formation.
"However, there is also a problem with this formation. That is, the spirit gathering formation can increase the spiritual energy of the place where you practice many times. The speed of practice is naturally faster, but the cultivation of your mind and spiritual thoughts need to be slowly improved!"
Therefore, there was a mismatch between He Dong Yuan Shen and the exercises, so that a serious bottleneck appeared in his cultivation.
"Because of this, my Purple Heart Nourishing Pill has been of such great help to Brother He." Fang Yang soon had the answer in his mind.
"However, with such a powerful spirit-gathering formation, if one is not careful, it may be possible to gather the spiritual energy of the entire Wanmu Peak!" Fang Yang frowned.
Fang Yang concluded that after using this spirit gathering formation, the concentration of spiritual energy was also very high, and a better formation to isolate the spiritual energy was necessary, otherwise it would be easy to be discovered by others and cause serious trouble.
While Fang Yang was studying this spirit-gathering formation, he also began to study the concealment formations on the jade slips and several formations to isolate and shield spiritual energy.
More than two months have passed, and Fang Yang has basically mastered the key points.
Then he quickly went to the Hall of Merit with Zhang Lin and Nuopo.
"Senior brother, are there any sect missions recently? We have been holding back on Wanmu Peak for a long time, and we all want to go out and relax."
As Fang Yang spoke, he stuffed a dozen low-grade spiritual stones into the late-stage Qi-training monk who handed out the mission, and the monk immediately burst into laughter.
"How about, there is a mission to hunt down the fourth-level rhinoceros vulture. You can go out for two months, and the contribution is worth 20,000, what do you think?" The monk who issued the mission smiled.
"Ah? Hunting monsters is not my strong point. I have been planting spiritual grass in Wanmu Peak. Do you have any experience in this field?" Fang Yang asked again.
"Yes, yes, but it's a bit difficult to complete. It only takes half a year. You can go out for more walks, but if you fail to complete it, you will be deducted 5,000 points of sect merit and contribution!" The monk seemed a little embarrassed.
In the end, Fang Yang and the three of them accepted the sect's task of collecting thousand-year-old elixirs, and then left Wanmu Peak in a big way.
You must know that in today's world, due to the prosperity of cultivation sects, the treasures of heaven and earth are becoming less and less.
Even foundation-building monks may not be able to collect the Millennium Spirit Grass.
The monk also thought that Fang Yang and the others just wanted to go out for fun, so he let them go as if they were laughing.
In fact, Fang Yang had many Millennium Spirit Herbs, but the reason he chose this was to find a safe place to set up the Spirit Gathering Array to practice.
At the same time, you can also openly take some spiritual herbs in exchange for contribution points, why not do it.
More than half a month later, Fang Yang and the others appeared under a remote cliff in the Linglan Mountains.
Fang Yang, Zhang Lin, and Nuopo worked together to dig a cave on the shady side of the cliff, reaching deep into the cliff.
The cliff was several hundred feet deep, and then Fang Yang and the other three dug a simple stone chamber deep into the cliff.
While completing the stone chamber, Fang Yang began to arrange the spirit gathering array and the spirit locking array.
The Spirit Gathering Formation is naturally for condensing spiritual energy.
Of course, the spirit locking formation is to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out and avoid attracting the prying eyes of other masters.
In this way, the three people divided the work and cooperated, and it took seven days to complete the project.
Fang Yang arranged three spirit-locking formations in the stone chamber, and then began to arrange the spirit-gathering formation.
Although Fang Yang had enough spirit stones, he did not dare to arrange too complicated arrangements when he was not clear about the changes in the formation.
Besides, Fang Yang and the others only had less than half a year, so they didn't dare to delay too much.
Fang Yang used 365 spirit stones as the simplest position for the spirit gathering formation.
Then he used special techniques to connect the various formations according to certain rules, and then input spiritual energy to continuously promote the operation of the formation.
Three hours later, spiritual energy gradually overflowed from the spiritual stone, automatically pushing the formation to move continuously.
"Okay, the simplest ancient spirit gathering formation has been activated!" Fang Yang said with a smile, "Quickly, let's try the effect first."
Fang Yang and the others were overjoyed and immediately sat down with their eyes closed. The spiritual energy in their bodies circulated along the meridians of their bodies according to the Great Circular.
With the operation of the spirit gathering formation, the surrounding spiritual energy continued to surge, doubling, twice, three times, six times, eight times, twelve times, until the spiritual energy was so rich that it condensed into a fragrant mist.
It gradually stabilized.
"It can actually improve spiritual energy so much!" Fang Yang was even more surprised.
None of the three of them were willing to waste time and this rare opportunity to practice, so the three of them immediately started to move around the sky.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the three of them breathed a long sigh of relief almost at the same time, exhaled the turbid air in their bodies, and opened their bright eyes.
The formation also gradually stopped, and the brilliance gradually dimmed. This was not because there was something wrong with the formation, but because the spiritual power in the spirit stone had been used up.
"Oh my god, this formation is so powerful. I feel like the spiritual energy that I can't usually see or touch is about to condense out!"
Nopo said in surprise with a thick voice.
"Yes, I just meditated for half an hour, which is almost equivalent to half a month of practice!" Zhang Lin also nodded.
In daily practice, one must continuously absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and then use the true energy to purify and compress it.
After a series of complicated methods, it can be gradually absorbed. At this time, it is almost like soaking in the spiritual energy, saving a lot of effort, and the spiritual energy is also more pure.
"I think this formation is really unbelievable, but the consumption of spirit stones is really scary. More than three hundred spirit stones were used in half an hour, which is equivalent to a medium-grade magic weapon." Nuopo deflated.
Mouth said.
"Two brothers, before my family fell into decline, there was an ancestor who was in the late stage of foundation building, so I secretly left a certain amount of savings."
In order to dispel their doubts, Fang Yang made up an ancestor who was in the foundation-building stage.
Indeed, there are many cultivation families that can continue to develop because of their seniors.
However, if the elders of the family die and the younger generations are unable to hold on, they will gradually fail and become casual cultivators, which is something that often happens in the world of cultivation.
"Brother Fang Yang, we can't thank you enough!" Nuo Po and Zhang Lin said with smiles.
"As my cultivation improves in the future, I will definitely earn more spiritual stones, but I can't let you suffer!" Nuopo also grinned, looking honest and simple.
"We have only been out for less than half a year. We must seize the time to improve. Otherwise, if we cannot stand out in the future sect competition, we may not get the attention of the sect and receive very few resources!"
"Yes, if time drags on, I'm afraid we will have no hope of building the foundation." Zhang Lin said worriedly.
All three of them have great ambitions to practice cultivation, so naturally they are very eager to advance to the foundation building level.
However, they are all casual cultivators, and it is a coincidence that they joined the sect. If they cannot improve their cultivation quickly, the possibility of becoming a foundation-building cultivator will be very slim.
Fang Yang seemed a lot more familiar with the formation for the second time and quickly completed the formation.
In addition, Fang Yang also took out enough elixirs for the three of them to take during practice. In this way, Fang Yang and the others continued to practice for nearly twenty days.
Everyone has gained a lot in these twenty days. With the strong spiritual energy and the continuous blessing of elixirs, the three of them can be said to be invincible.
Fang Yang reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training.
Although Nuopo has only reached the middle level of the ninth level of Qi training, he is born with divine power and his strength is probably not weak at the late stage of Qi training.
Zhang Lin has reached the tenth level of Qi training by chance.
The three of them rested for two days, and Fang Yang arranged five more spirit-locking formations.
In this way, the spirit-locking formation was strengthened to eight, and then Fang Yang began to arrange a new spirit-gathering formation.
This time Fang Yang used 365 middle-grade spiritual stones, and his spiritual energy increased by leaps and bounds, three times, ten times, fifteen times, twenty-three times, fifty times...
hundred times!
It has been increased to a hundred times. Such rich spiritual energy is beyond the reach of even the rare Yuan Ying Ancestor's cave in the entire Linglan Mountain.
You must know that the spiritual energy content of middle-grade spiritual stones is a hundred times that of ordinary spiritual stones.
Therefore, Fang Yang deliberately joined the Spirit Locking Formation before using the middle-grade spirit stones.
Another two months passed like this, and Fang Yang had lost more than three thousand middle-grade spiritual stones.
When the spirit stones were exhausted, Fang Yang stopped. At this time, Fang Yang had successfully broken through the ninth level of Qi training and reached the intermediate level of the tenth level.
Nuo Po is also at about the same stage, while Zhang Lin has slightly better qualifications and has already reached the eleventh level of Qi training.
