"In other words... you are proficient in all nine types of formations?"
Ever since he had a chat with Lu Yangyu about formation magic at the Shi family, Jiang Beiran discovered that most of the formation magicians on this continent were "partial in science".
At the same time, I learned that formation master Xuan Yi divided formations into nine categories.
They are: detection, attack, defense, treatment, concealment, illusion, amplification, weakening, and environment.
These nine formations all have completely different systems, so it is normal for there to be biased.
It is precisely because of this complexity that the formation has always been called the most difficult mysterious art to master.
After some questioning, Jiang Beiran discovered that Li Fucheng seemed to have learned all nine types of formations.
"I dare not say that I am proficient, but I have only learned a few things." Li Fucheng answered with his hands raised.
"Don't tell me these lies. Just tell me honestly your mastery and proficiency of these nine types of formations."
"Yes!" Li Fucheng immediately stood up straight and replied seriously.
"What I am best at now is defensive formations, which can be set up with the help of terrain. The other eight are all within the scope of spiritual power."
'Well... I'm still a human being, barely.'
Among formation mages, the strength of formations is divided in detail.
It is called the three formations of heaven, earth and man.
The human formation relies on spiritual power, and this spirit refers to all living beings.
This level of formation generally uses spirit plant leaves, cloth and silk made of spirit plant fibers, spirit animal skins, spirit animal bone fragments and other talismans to activate the formation. It is the most basic formation.
In addition, although the power of the human formation is not as powerful as that of the earth and sky, it is more flexible and can produce miraculous effects when used properly.
The earth formation relies on the terrain, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, metal, wood, water, fire and earth are all the power of the earth.
A high-quality ground formation can utilize the power of all ground phenomena to transform it into a formation. It is characterized by long-term stability, wide range, and great influence. If it is deployed in a place like the spiritual vein, the ground formation can exert incredible power.
Large-scale formations such as the Protecting the Sect Formation, the City Protecting Formation, and the Protecting the Country Formation all start from the terrain, but they are both ground formations, and the gap is vastly different.
But this requires specific circumstances and detailed analysis.
As for the celestial formation, it naturally relies on the power of the sky. The sun, moon, stars, wind, clouds, thunder and rain are all the power of celestial phenomena.
The formations that can be activated with the help of the power of celestial phenomena are all high-grade formations, which are not only extremely powerful, but also have a wide range of influence. Those legendary heaven-level formations can even cover the entire continent.
Moreover, the legends of formations are different from those illusory heaven-level techniques and heaven-level magic weapons.
They really exist on this continent, but these heaven-level formations are not man-made, but formed naturally between heaven and earth.
The primitive formation that Li Fucheng once inadvertently opened with the help of the Four Symbols Body is one of the representatives.
Most of them are in a "closed" state, waiting for the destined person to arrive.
However, the four-image body like Li Fucheng is completely cheating. Even if he is not destined for this primitive formation, he can still find a way to activate it after sensing it.
But not every primitive formation is as "gentle" as the one Li Fucheng entered, which not only provides adventure but also time for cultivation.
Some primitive formations are extremely dangerous and dangerous, and even if Xuan Sheng enters, there is no guarantee that he will escape unscathed.
However, practicing this kind of thing inherently involves dangers and opportunities, so Li Fucheng's four-image body is like a "master key" that can unlock various treasures.
That was why Sect Master Yan, who was at the Xuanzun level, made up his mind to accept him as his disciple.
Nowadays, although Li Fucheng can only deploy human-level formations, he is already very "protagonist" by learning all nine types of formations at a young age. You must know that Lu Yangyu, a dignified seventh-level formation, is still "scientific".
.
Li Fucheng's all-round ability in nine types of formations is estimated to be directly promoted to the eighth level formation mage.
And he is only in his early twenties now. If he is an eighth-level formation mage in his early twenties, if he is not called a "protagonist", then what is a protagonist!?
Seeing Brother Wang fall into silence, Li Fucheng thought that his performance was not good enough, so he quickly promised: "I know that my formation level is still far away, but don't worry, Brother Wang, I will definitely work harder to improve my formation."
I hope I can help you as soon as possible."
'Tsk...this statement has a bit of Versailles in it.'
Others Jiang Beiran didn't know, at least if Lu Yangyu heard a formation master who was proficient in nine types of formations at a young age say something like "I know my level of formations is still far behind."
You can still spit out two ounces of blood even if you don't say much.
The reason why Jiang Beiran was able to face it so calmly was because he had known for a long time that Li Fucheng was the protagonist's destiny and had the physique of a top-level formation master such as the body of four images.
Therefore, Li Fucheng's rapid progress in formations would not surprise him.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran stood up, picked up a tree branch, drew a circle on the ground and said to Li Fucheng: "You already have a mentor in the formation process. As an outsider, I can't teach you anything, but I can teach you something about myself.
My experience should be of benefit to you."
After hearing this, Li Fucheng immediately bowed to Jiang Beiran and said, "Fucheng is willing to listen to Brother Wang's teachings."
"Tell me first, what is your view on the role of weapons in formations?"
Li Fucheng thought for a moment and replied: "The array device is the basic thing for constructing the formation. Only the array eyes that have been reinforced by the array device can be deployed. The quality of the array device also directly determines the strength of the formation."
"So in your eyes, the array device is equivalent to the array eye, right?"
After listening, Li Fucheng thought seriously for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, most array masters only think of array devices when arranging array eyes, but this is not the case. Array devices actually play a greater role in the formation, and can even improve the level of the array."
Jiang Beiran said and took out a wildebeest made of ceramics from the Qiankun Ring.
"This is what I want to teach you today, the interaction between formations and weapon refining."
Although Li Fucheng didn't quite understand what Brother Wang meant after hearing this, he felt so powerful that he almost couldn't help but applaud.
Placing the wildebeest made of ceramics in the center of the circle, Jiang Beiran explained: "Ceramics corresponds to the relationship between heaven and earth in the Bagua attributes, and in the structure of the formation, it represents the establishment of boundaries. Do you know what this represents?"
Li Fucheng felt enlightened when he heard the word "establish a boundary", so he replied without thinking: "Only when the formation has boundaries can it have regionality and space. Brother Wang, what you mean is that ceramics can expand the formation."
Is the scope of the law correct?”
"Yes, but it's not entirely right." Jiang Beiran said and quickly drew half of the Tiandu array on the ground with a tree branch. "The Tiandu array itself is very wide, but as a maze array, it doesn't actually need to be
With such a large range, it is enough to lure people into the formation, so it is better to reduce the size of the Tiandu Formation to increase its strength."
Seeing Li Fucheng's suddenly enlightened look, Jiang Beiran continued: "In addition to ceramics, there are also jade that symbolizes enlightenment, gold and copper that represent chilling, bone horns that hide spirits, etc."
Hearing this, Li Fucheng couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wang! I have a question that I would like you to help me answer."
"explain."
"I heard from Master that the reason why the array device can only be used at the center of the formation is because only the spiritual energy gathered at the center of the formation is enough to drive the array device. If it is not placed at the center of the formation, and according to your words, Brother Wang,
Is it true that even if the array device is not placed at the center of the array, it can still support the array?"
"That's right."
"Then why..."
Before Li Fucheng could finish asking the question, Jiang Beiran explained directly: "This is what I just said. Only by being proficient in weapon refining and formation techniques at the same time can you create a special array weapon for yourself when setting up an array."
"So that's it..." Li Fucheng nodded, then cupped his hands towards Brother Wang and said, "Brother Wang really knows everything and knows everything. I have never heard of this formation method even from Master."
Throwing away the branch, Jiang Beiran walked up to Li Fucheng, took out a copy of "Tiangong Creation" and handed it to him: "After reading this book, you should be able to get started in the art of weapon refining."
"Thank you, Brother Wang!" Li Fucheng bowed deeply and took the book from Brother Wang.
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to say something more, a palm-sized woodcock fell from the sky and stopped in front of Li Fucheng.
Li Fucheng immediately stretched out his hands when he saw it.
Then the woodcock flapped its wings twice, and a small bamboo tube fell into Li Fucheng's hand.
"Thank you." Li Fucheng said as he put away the small bamboo tube.
After hearing the sound, the woodcock let out a crisp cry and flew into the sky again.
"Brother Wang, it's master's reply."
"Well, let's open it and take a look."
"yes."
After agreeing, Li Fucheng opened the small bamboo tube and took out the letter paper inside.
After a while, Li Fucheng raised his head after reading the content and said: "Master said that Brother Wang is very welcome to come with me to see him."
"Yeah." Jiang Beiran nodded.
Thinking that there was still something else to do in Fengzhou, Jiang Beiran said to Li Fucheng: "Then you should read hard today, and I will come find you again tomorrow at midnight."
"Yes!" Li Fucheng said, cupping his hands.
Nodding, Jiang Beiran took out his cirrus tube and blew out an auspicious cloud.
"Come up." Jiang Beiran waved towards Xia Lingdang.
"Yes, here we come." After bowing to Li Fucheng and Tang Tingshuang each, Xia Lingdang got into the auspicious clouds.
Li Fucheng and Tang Tingshuang waved goodbye to Xia Lingdang and saluted Jiang Beiran at the same time: "Brother Wang, walk slowly."
Nodding towards the two of them, Jiang Beiran also entered the auspicious clouds and flew into the sky.
When the auspicious clouds completely disappeared from sight, Li Fucheng picked up "Tiangong Creations" and started reading.
Sitting in Xiangyun and returning to Fengzhou, Jiang Beiran returned directly to the self-enchantment.
"Senior brother."
Gu Qinghuan, who felt some fluctuations in the barrier, immediately came out to welcome him and cupped his hands.
"Qingce is out?"
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan responded, "He said he wanted to find a place to condition his body to its best condition."
"Okay, since he's not here, take me to see Yangze first."
"yes."
After leaving the self-enchantment, Gu Qinghuan took Jiang Beiran and Xia Lingdang to a cave and met Qu Yangze who had transformed into a cocoon.
'Good guy...this thing is a bit big.'
Jiang Beiran originally imagined that he would see a human-shaped cocoon when he came here, but when he came to the cave, he discovered that the cocoon was ridiculously big.
The entire cocoon is azure in color and is about the same size as a mud-roofed house in the village.
In addition, the cocoon is "suspended" in mid-air, not floating, but hung up by dozens of sticky threads like spider silk.
"Boom!"
Just as Jiang Beiran was observing the cocoon, it suddenly beat violently, like a huge heart.
"ah!"
The frightened Xia Lingdang exclaimed and took several steps back, but soon she plucked up the courage to return behind Jiang Beiran.
"Is this cocoon so big to begin with?" Jiang Beiran asked, looking at the beating cocoon.
"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "Those threads were wrapped around and around, and finally they became what they are now."
"This is really a wonderful sight..."
Jiang Beiran said that he stretched out his hand and touched the cocoon, and found that it felt soft and a little sticky. Just when he was about to squeeze the cocoon with more force, a silver Gu suddenly flew from his chest.
He came out and flew into the cocoon with lightning speed.
'Um?'
The Gu insect that flew into the cocoon was Lao Wang, the same one that Jiang Beiran came over from the alien Xuanzong at that time.
Thinking about when it might come in handy, Jiang Beiran let it lie in his arms.
He had been lying down for two years, during which time Lao Wang had always been very peaceful. He would sleep when he was sleepy, suck Jiang Beiran's blood when he was hungry, and continue to sleep after a good meal.
In this excellent environment where you can eat well and sleep well.
Lao Wang quickly "gained weight" and is now the size of a palm and a half, which is very rare among Gu.
But just because it didn't make much movement on weekdays, Jiang Beiran was even more surprised that it was so excited when it saw this cocoon.
"Boom!"
At this time, the huge cocoon jumped again, and this time it was not just a beat.
'Dong dong...dong dong...dong dong...'
The huge cocoon is like a heart undergoing violent exercise, beating faster and faster, faster and faster.
‘Is this catalyzed by Lao Wang?’
Seeing the cocoon beating faster and faster, Jiang Beiran thought that this must be closely related to Lao Wang's entry, but he just didn't know what Lao Wang did after he entered.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the cocoon beat violently, and part of the silk threads on the surface collapsed.
'It looks like it's coming out.'
However, Jiang Beiran has no intention of overthrowing the situation and will just wait and see what happens.
As the cocoon becomes more and more active, the silk threads on the epidermis keep sliding downward.
"Has this happened before?" Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and asked.
"No." Gu Qinghuan shook his head, "It has been in the same state the past few times. It was only when you came, senior brother, that it changed so drastically.
"Dong dong...dong dong...dong dong!"
At this time, the activity of the cocoon is getting higher and higher, and the wrapped silk threads are constantly collapsing. It is estimated that it will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly in a short time.
And they waited until night, when the cocoon had returned to human form. According to Lu Qinghuan's description, this is what Qu Yangze looked like when he first turned into a cocoon.
"Stab it!"
At this time, only the last few layers of the cocoon suddenly cracked, as if indicating that the "butterfly" inside was about to fly out.
