The various techniques in the world of cultivation in the Triple Continent are as diverse as a hundred flowers blooming, each with its own merits. Similarly, the people of the Earthly Imperial Sect specialize in taming powerful monsters to fight, the people of the Sword-washing Valley have superb swordsmanship and are extremely powerful, the weird twins of the Ghost Sect and the Life and Death Sect, etc.
However, in the world of cultivation, there are two special cultivators who go to extremes and whose strength and status are not well matched.
A type of alchemist headed by the Alchemy Sect. Because alchemy will cause wood residue to be deposited outside the body and slow down the body's reaction, the overall cultivation level is lower than that of ordinary cultivators. However, their status in the world of cultivation is quite high, because the elixirs they refine have a wide range of effects. Sometimes having a high-level elixir is equivalent to giving an ordinary cultivator an extra life. Therefore, making friends with an alchemist is something that many cultivators can only meet but cannot seek. When a fifth-level alchemist in the out-of-body stage walks out, even cultivators in the distraction stage would not dare to offend.
The other type of cultivator is the formation master headed by the formation sect. The formation master is proficient in arranging various magical formations and can also use formations in battle. In the world of cultivation, all cultivators are aware that when encountering formation masters of the same realm, they must stay away. If they do not have strong defense capabilities, they should not easily engage with them. The formation master has the strongest instantaneous explosive power among all cultivators, and is also a cultivator in the fifth heaven of the out-of-body stage. The formation master definitely has the ability to kill other cultivators instantly!
However, the identity of formation masters is the most easily despised in the world of cultivation, because although formation masters have strong explosive power and unstoppable lethality, their shortcomings are very obvious. When they use formations, they need to rely on various formation bases with abundant spiritual energy. The higher the burst of combat power, the greater the reliance on the formation base. Once the formation base's spiritual energy is exhausted, the formation master basically loses combat effectiveness and even becomes deformed. It is much weaker than the alchemist.
Formation masters do not want to be quick when fighting with others. If they cannot take the wrong leg in a short time, their own lives will be in danger. Therefore, if most cultivators have conflicts with the formation master, they can basically defeat the formation master after the formation master insists on a round of violent attacks. Of course, if you can't sustain one round of attacks from the formation master, you will be ruined.
Most people are aware of the shortcomings of the formation master, and they also know that when fighting with the formation master, they need to rely on flexible body skills to deal with it and try their best to delay time. The inability of formation masters to succeed is particularly unpopular in the world of cultivation. Their over-reliance on formation bases has been criticized, and everyone more or less looks down upon them. Therefore, although their combat power is high, they are not as respected as alchemists. They do not allow other cultivators to take an elixir anytime and anywhere to save their lives like alchemists.
Formation masters are highly valued in the world of cultivation. Many sects use formations to a greater or lesser extent. Whether they are used to protect the foundation of the sect or to protect treasures, formations are indispensable. of. However, not every sect has cultivators who are proficient in formations, and sects cannot spend energy cultivating an formation master, so whenever they encounter problems with formations, they will go to the formation sect to invite formation masters to come and help.
It can be said that although formation masters are occasionally looked down upon by others, many sects will receive formation masters very politely, because formation masters are like alchemists, and their functions cannot be used for fighting. Formation masters will arrange formations for many sects, cities, families and other forces in the world of cultivation to protect their territory or facilitate their operations.
There are two sects specializing in formation formations in Sanzhong Continent. One is the formation sect, which arranges traditional formations and is called an formation master. Another Fu Sect carved formations into talisman paper, and then used the talisman paper to perform spells. He was called a Talisman Master. People in the Buluo Fu Sect like to call that kind of magic Fu Shu to distinguish it from formation magic.
The essence of the spells of the two sects is the same, but the formation masters in the cultivation world are not mainstream, and the talisman masters are not as famous as the formation masters.
The Formation Sect is located in a remote misty valley in the Mie Continent. The valley is vast and covered by thick fog all year round. Even if you are flying in the air, you will lose your direction. Without the guidance of the disciples of the Formation Sect, outsiders would definitely have nowhere to go if they entered the valley. Even the most advanced cultivators knew that it was a holy place for sightseeing.
It is very simple for people from the Array Sect to recruit disciples. There is an array gate at the entrance of the Misty Valley. There are eight trigrams in the array. If you can decipher the three hexagrams, you can become a new disciple of the Array Sect. Anyone who enters the formation gate must obtain permission from the formation gate. The formation gate will determine whether I am qualified to become an formation master. It is easy to get lost in the formation if you do not overestimate your capabilities, so the formation gate allows people who are predestined to the formation to pass through.
The disciples of the Formation Sect are divided into three levels of talent: innate, intermediate, and acquired. The acquired talent is the lowest, and the innate disciple has the highest talent. In the Formation Sect, those who can decipher the three hexagrams are the disciples of Houtian, those who can decipher the four and five hexagrams are the disciples of Zhongtian, and those who can decipher the six hexagrams, seven hexagrams and the eight trigrams are the innate disciples.
In the formation sect for thousands of years, there have been very few innate disciples, which means that they have cracked at least six hexagrams when they started. After being trained, those innate disciples will undoubtedly become the mainstay talents of the Formation Sect. So far, the people who can completely decipher the gossip are said to be the wizards of the Zhen Sect, or the only living ancestor of the Ming Zhen Sect, Zhen Tian Dao!
The formation sect has two disciples guarding the formation gate every day. If someone successfully breaks into the formation, they will know about it.
It was a hot and humid early afternoon, and two disciples in the misty valley were yawning out of boredom. Which two people are on duty every month means that they are not allowed to practice and can guard the formation honestly.
"No one has come to break into the formation for three months, right?" Zhan Bingnai is one of the guardian disciples of the Mingyue Formation Sect. Those on duty are all Houtian disciples. Wouldn't Zhongtian and Xiantian disciples come there to do such errands? .
"So what if I broke through? Their formation sect has not recruited Zhongtian disciples through breaking into the formation for a year. As for the innate disciples, they haven't seen them for ten years. Those innate formation masters are all anxious. He heard that Liu Zhen The master brought back a very talented Zhongtian disciple out there last month, and he was praised by the sect master!" Another Houtian disciple named Fan Wen, when he talked about the Zhongtian disciple, his face showed unconcealable envy.
"If an innate disciple can appear, Juecuoqiu will cause a sensation in the entire formation sect. Think about it, their formation sect will soon have a disciple, Senior Brother Mu Chenghong, who is an innate disciple!" Zhan Bing said.
"Alas! Xiantian disciples, are they really enviable?" Fan Wen said with admiration on his face.
Zhongtian disciples are much more talented than Houtian disciples. They will be vigorously cultivated by the sect and become the backbone of the formation sect. Not to mention the innate disciples, the kind of talents that the formation sect vigorously cultivates, the pillars of the formation sect, and the resources of the sect will be tilted towards the innate disciples.
However, there are very few people who can become innate disciples. For example, the Formation Sect has only had one innate disciple in ten years!
Just like a rare treasure, please ask if a second innate disciple can appear. You don’t need to think about it to know that the sect will train him at all costs!
"Buzz!"
There was a sudden fluctuation from the formation gate, attracting the two people's attention. He was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a rosy complexion and very ordinary appearance, but there was an indescribable sense of depression between his eyebrows.
"That guy wants to get involved in gossip?" Zhan Bing frowned and glanced at Fan Wen wrongly.
"That guy has the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. He looks like he is twenty years old, right? Does their sect recruit disciples that old?" Fan Wendao.
Zhan Bing shook his head: "Their principle of recruiting disciples is that they should not be over twenty years old. He should meet the conditions, but he is not too old, not to mention that his cultivation level is so low that he is not suitable for training at all."
Most of the new disciples of the Formation Sect were no more than sixteen years old when they first started. Young people can't invest in capital. The younger they are, the more beneficial it is to learn the formation. But the disciples of the Formation Sect are also cultivators. They not only want to learn the formation, but also cultivate their spiritual power. That young man is so old and has no cultivation, which means that he will spend most of his energy on cultivation, which will not be worth the gain.
"Go and remind him of Yidong!" Fan Wen's figure had disappeared and appeared next to the formation gate.
Mu Yu was looking up at the sect in trance. Before he came, he had asked someone about the general situation of the sect and also knew their conditions for recruiting disciples. He didn't know anything about formations. After all, he had more or less learned from Dead Wood and knew a lot. Just standing in front of Dead Wood was really a drop in the bucket.
At this moment, Mu Yu changed his appearance and kept his cultivation level at the foundation-building stage to avoid arousing too much suspicion. He looked at the formation gate, and when he was wondering why no one was guarding it, a voice came from the side of the formation gate.
"Hey, kid! They don't accept too old disciples." Fan Wen said lazily.
"I heard that the formation sect only recruits disciples who are twenty years old or older. He is only nineteen years old and meets the conditions." Mu Yu said calmly. He deliberately lowered his aura cultivation level. After all, he was a famous disciple of the True God in the cultivation world. If he was discovered by the people of the Formation Sect, they would definitely not let Mu Yu enter the Formation Sect. If there weren't people from the Triple Palace watching over there, he himself might also be exposed to the sight of the Triple Palace.
Fan Wen snorted, looked at Mu Yu in the east, and said domineeringly: "I am too old and my cultivation level is too low. Even if I become a disciple of their formation sect, I will not achieve much, so please go back quickly! "
Mu Yu frowned and said, "How will you know if you don't try? Besides, did the elder of the formation sect ask me to stop him?"
Fan Wen was slapped with a big label, and he looked a little displeased, and scolded: "You are really overestimating your abilities! With my Ziren, I am afraid that even the first hexagram can be broken. Without the third hexagram, their formation will not be able to do it." Received."
"Since he meets the requirements and no elder from the formation sect asked me to do so, he is qualified to enter." Mu Yu glanced at Fan Wen and walked into the formation gate on his own.
"I-Okay! I'll remember it for him!" Fan Wen said angrily, then looked very unhappy at Mu Yu's figure, and then returned to Zhan Bing's side.
"What? Are you deflated?" Zhan Bing said with a smile.
"When he becomes a disciple of the day after tomorrow, he will definitely teach him a lesson." Fan Wen snorted coldly.
Zhan Bing shook his head. He knew that Fan Wenfu was a very small-minded person, so he advised Fan Wenfu: "I don't want to provoke him first. What if he is not a Zhongtian disciple or a Xiantian disciple? Then I'm afraid. Otherwise he will cause trouble for me!"
Fan Wen showed a sarcastic look: "Will he become a disciple of Xiantian? Stop dreaming! It's impossible to become a disciple of Zhongtian at such a young age and with such a low level of cultivation!"
Zhan Bing stopped shutting up and focused on Mu Yu who entered the formation gate.
