Although Ling Han wrote hundreds of books on exercises and martial arts yesterday, he had no intention of handing them all over. The three books on how to start the formation, plus one book on the formation, were enough for him to study for a while.
Therefore, he decided to leave and go to the Dark Demon Forest.
Taking Huniu with him, he hired a carriage. The trip would take more than ten days, so it was better to hire a carriage to act as a legwork.
In the carriage, Huniu gnawed on the dried meat with great interest, while Ling Han took out the Basics of Formation and started reading through it.
Soon, he showed a solemn expression.
Martial arts is a process of self-cultivation. It regards the human body itself as a great treasure and taps out infinite potential. There is a saying in the martial arts world, one person, one world. This means that when martial arts are practiced to the extreme, the warrior himself can become a huge world with supreme power.
Formation Dao is exactly the opposite.
This path admires the natural power of heaven and earth, and its main purpose is to borrow the power of heaven and earth and turn it into one's own use. Therefore, the key lies in how to borrow the power of heaven and earth.
To borrow the power of heaven and earth, a medium is needed, called the Eye of Formation.
Formation eyes can be in various forms, such as swords, knives, and flags. But not just any sword, stone, or flag can serve as a formation eye, there are very strict requirements. One is the quality of the material itself, and the other is the pattern carved on it.
The person who wrote this formation method likes to use the flag as the formation eye, which is called the formation flag. Formation flags are divided into ten levels just like martial arts. The formations arranged by different levels of formation flags also have different powers.
High-level formation flags can be used to arrange low-level formations, but the reverse is not true. Advanced formations must require high-level formation flags to arrange, otherwise the formation flags cannot withstand the power of heaven and earth and will explode in an instant. .
Therefore, if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools and find suitable materials to make formation flags or other formation eyes, and then discuss the layout of the formation.
Ling Han was eager to give it a try. When passing through a big city, he spent 30,000 yuan crystal to buy a piece of purple-patterned gold. It was just over a pound and was extremely expensive.
This is a fifth-level casting material that can be used to create spiritual weapons at the Spiritual Sea level. Of course it is precious, but it only costs more than one kilogram, which is not enough to make swords, knives and other weapons. Otherwise, 30,000 yuan crystals would not be able to buy it at all.
Ling Han immediately entered the black tower. Inside, he could summon blazing flames and easily smelt the precious gold into seven small iron rods. Due to lack of materials, he did not make the formation flag. Anyway, the most important thing was to carve the formation flag. Patterns, as to what form of formation eye it is is completely irrelevant.
This is the first step. The second step is to carve the formation pattern on the iron rod. This is the most critical. The formation pattern activates the power of heaven and earth. Whatever attributes of the formation pattern and what formation method is used, the effect will be completely different.
Ling Han cast seven iron rods, which is also very particular. They are based on the Xiaotian Yuanling Snake Formation. As long as he can carve the formation patterns on them, he can form a real formation eye. When the time comes, scatter them around him, and the formation will form naturally. It can have both defensive and offensive effects.
The question is, how to engrave the formation pattern on it.
This is not a painting, just carve it according to the pattern. The pattern can activate the power of heaven and earth. It is a kind of understanding, just like the will of martial arts. If you understand it, you understand it. If you don't understand it, you don't understand it. I can't tell you anything.
If you want to imprint the formation pattern, you must first understand the formation. Therefore, some people have a profound understanding and are high-level formation masters, while some people have a superficial understanding and are low-level formation masters.
Ling Han had studied various formations in his previous life. Of course, at that time he was studying how to crack and exploit the loopholes in the formations, but this can be used as a reference. What's more, he also possesses the divine consciousness and martial arts understanding of the Heavenly Realm. It is really easy to go back and study low-level formations.
He kept sighing that it was like this, and made rapid progress in the formation.
Five days later, he threw away the three introductory books on formations, picked up a stone at random, and carved formation patterns on it.
Every formation pattern must be completed in one go, without any pause. As long as there is any sluggishness, it will affect the operation of the power of heaven and earth. A formation eye can have up to three pauses, otherwise it will be scrapped.
The number of formation patterns that can be carved by a fourth-level formation eye is at least nine and at most fifteen, all of which have to be squeezed into such a small iron rod. The Xiaotian Yuanling Snake Formation requires seven formation eyes to arrange, and each formation eye has a limited number of fifteen formation patterns. It can also be called a top-grade formation among the fourth-level formations. From this point of view, Yin Hong is quite fair.
Ling Han began to carve formation patterns. After carving fifteen formation patterns on a stone, he carefully checked and found that at least eight were wrong, and there were many pauses in the few that were correct.
It's okay, he doesn't expect to become an array master all at once, so he should take his time.
On the eleventh day after setting off from Jiyang City, Ling Han finally arrived at the outskirts of the Dark Demon Forest. The carriage driver was unwilling to go any further. After Ling Han got off the bus, he immediately whipped his horse and left quickly.
This is an extremely chaotic place that is not occupied by any force. However, this place is rich in spiritual herbs, attracting a large number of forces to collect herbs. With the huge interests, conflicts often break out here, and bloodshed and death are normal. But things.
There is no master in the Dark Demon Forest, but there are four relatively powerful forces. Because they were developed in the Dark Demon Forest, they are equivalent to local snakes. Even big forces like the Winter Moon Sect and the Beast King Sect are not willing to provoke them.
These four forces are the Blood Light Tower, Tiancan Yuan, Bone Erosion Hall and Feng Mo Hall. It is said that strong men from the Flower Realm are in charge. In addition to these four major forces, there are many medium-sized and small forces that are trying to survive in the cracks and even want to replace the four major forces.
It is said that many medium-sized forces are even supported by wealthy families like Dongyue Sect, but no one can tell whether it is true or not.
Each of the four major forces has many camps in the Dark Demon Forest, which are open to the outside world and are equivalent to barriers to provide protection for the warriors who gather medicine. But they are definitely not doing good deeds. If you want to enter the camp, you have to pay money - Yuan Jing of course. If you don't have Yuan Jing, you can also use spiritual herbs and weapon refining materials instead.
In the camp, no one is allowed to use force. This is the most basic rule. When you go out, it doesn't matter if you beat him to pieces and fly around.
Ling Han walked casually, but his whole mind was on the formation. After these ten days of research, he also developed a strong interest in the formation. If combined with martial arts, it can have miraculous effects.
In fact, the formation path is closely related to every warrior. To take the simplest example, the spiritual weapon actually belongs to the formation path, and the martial arts will is imprinted on it. This is the most superficial formation pattern.
But if the formation pattern is also engraved on the spiritual weapon, the combined power of the two will naturally be stronger.
"Brother, you are alone, why don't you join us?" He walked slowly and was soon overtaken by a team, and someone offered him an olive branch.
