The eight gates in the formation surround each other and are dependent on each other. They slowly rotate in the formation, but are scattered and not chaotic.
The foot and the gate of the formation have been decided, and finally it is the turn of the center and the center of the formation.
The so-called formation center is the core of the formation. A formation will only have one formation center.
The importance of the formation eye is slightly less than that of the formation center. Depending on the situation, there are often one to more.
Xu Chunniang first set the center of the formation, and then set up an formation center in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
As the formation moves, the center and eyes of the formation become invisible, the eight gates change from time to time, and even the formation's legs gradually become blurred and uncertain.
However, there is spiritual energy being drawn from far and wide between heaven and earth. And the new spiritual energy in the array slowly spreads from the inside to the outside according to a certain pattern.
At this point, the entire spirit gathering formation is finally completed.
Feeling the spirit-gathering effect that was several times stronger than before, Xu Chunniang nodded with satisfaction. The third-level spirit-gathering formation was indeed far from the second-level spirit gathering array.
This formation took a total of ten days, and the consumption of spiritual consciousness was quite large.
But the harvest was equally astonishing. After this round of dismantling the formation and reinstalling it, her understanding of the Spirit Gathering Formation went one step further.
Xu Chunniang took out the Hai Xing Order and informed the Lin family leader that the formation had been repaired, but she saw the message he sent ten days ago.
"My sixth uncle accidentally entered the spirit gathering formation. If fellow Taoist Xu sees him, he can just throw him out.
He acted shamelessly, and if he has offended fellow Taoists, I will first apologize for him."
Xu Chunniang shook her head and laughed, remembering the old man stamping his feet while reprimanding her in pain. She looked around with her consciousness, and sure enough, she found his figure not far away.
He sat on the ground regardless of his appearance, surrounded by his paper manuscripts, which were full of formations and lines.
Compared to ten days ago, his hair was messy and he had lost a lot of weight.
From his bloodshot eyes, it could be seen that he had not rested for a long time and was in a state where his consciousness was about to be exhausted.
Uncle Six seemed to have completely forgotten about foreign objects and was immersed in his own world.
He was concentrating on the calculations on the paper, sometimes chuckled, sometimes frowned, and even Xu Chunniang's consciousness did not notice it.
"No, something doesn't seem right here."
Uncle Liu shook his head and re-deduce it several times, but he got different results every time.
He frowned and checked the manuscript repeatedly, but he had no clue after checking it several times.
"Why is this happening? Is my method wrong?"
"Your method is not wrong, but your consciousness is not enough to see all the changes. If you don't know the whole picture, how can the conclusion you draw be correct?"
"Real person?"
Uncle Six heard the sound and looked back with a look of surprise on his face. He immediately realized something and quickly stood up and put away all the manuscripts. He straightened his clothes and bowed seriously, "Master."
Xu Chunniang's eyebrows twitched, "Who is your master?"
Uncle Liu said sternly, "When the real person was setting up the formation, he allowed me to watch from the sidelines and gave him many pointers, which helped me a lot. Since ancient times, those who have reached great heights have been regarded as teachers. In my heart, you are the master."
"I haven't even started training yet, so how can I accept you as my disciple? Don't call me that."
Xu Chunniang bluntly refused. It was just a few words of advice, which was nothing at all.
Uncle Liu looked a little disappointed, opened his mouth and finally said "yes".
The real person refused to accept him, maybe because he was too old!
Also, how can an old antique like him, who has less than twenty years left to live, be qualified to become a disciple of a real person!
Xu Chunniang noticed that his expression was different, and she thought of his paper manuscripts filled with formations and aura lines, as well as his obsession and enthusiasm for formations. After a moment of silence, she finally said one more thing.
"You are not far from a third-level formation mage. If your spiritual consciousness can break through to the golden elixir realm, you may be able to gain something."
When Uncle Six heard this, his expression became even darker.
If he had the confidence to break through in cultivation and survive the Three Nine Thunder Tribulations, he would not have waited until today and not even taken that step.
He sighed softly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint the real person. I'm old and don't have much time left. I'm afraid I won't be able to get the golden elixir in this life."
"If you believe that you are not destined for the Golden Elixir, then you are definitely not destined for it."
When Xu Chunniang heard this answer, she just said it calmly.
You can only rely on yourself to practice. All others can do is guide and give guidance.
If you don't even have confidence in breaking through the realm, the path of spiritual practice will only become narrower and narrower until there is no way to go at all.
After hearing this, Uncle Six was silent for a long time.
Although he has some talent in formations, his qualifications are not very good.
As the fourth spirit root, he relied on the shadow of his father and used three foundation-building pills to successfully build the foundation with difficulty.
The seventh-grade Taoist platform obtained after building the foundation is really not that good.
Therefore, he established the foundation at the age of seventy, and it was only at the age of one hundred and seventy that he cultivated to the point of perfecting the foundation. The hardships involved are not comparable to those of outsiders.
I wonder if he subconsciously felt that his talent was poor and that he was lucky enough to reach the foundation building level. In the fifty years since he completed the foundation building process, he had never felt an opportunity to break through the golden elixir.
Thinking of this, Uncle Liu's heart became heavier and heavier. In twenty years, his life span would be exhausted.
It doesn't matter if the so-called practitioners live longer than ordinary people, they can't escape the reincarnation of the three realms and five elements.
Uncle Liu suppressed this thought. With his Taoist platform and qualifications, at his age, it would be almost impossible to break through.
In the remaining twenty years, it is better to carefully cultivate the next generation of the family and not let the inheritance of the formation be cut off in his hands.
Uncle Six sighed secretly, looked at the figure who was about to leave in front of him, took out a bone fragment from the storage ring, and spoke nervously with a little hesitation.
"Sir, wait a minute, I have some formation experience here, which I have compiled over the years. It contains more than a hundred years of formation experience, and it also contains many unpopular formation materials...
To you, this may seem like a joke, but this is my little thought, and I hope you won’t find it objectionable.”
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, waved her hand to pick up the bone fragments, and casually penetrated them with her spiritual consciousness to scan them.
In the bone fragments, the formation process and cracking methods of various formations are recorded in great detail. There are many formations, and several cracking methods are also proposed.
Most of the records were already known to her, but there were some novel formation-breaking methods and formation materials that she had never heard of before.
"I'm determined."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly and was about to put away the bone fragments when her consciousness swept over one of them and she said softly "Eh".
There are two formations in this bone fragment, one of which is a bit simple with only eighteen formations. At first glance, it is a first-level formation.
The other one looks obviously much more complicated, with a total of thirty-six formations, and is a second-level formation.
Overall, the two look quite similar to the teleportation array.
