The manager calmed down and looked at Xu Wanran who was standing beside him.
"Come with me. From today on, you will be an outer disciple of Xiaoyao Sect."
While the steward was taking Xu Wanran to familiarize herself with the sect, Xu Chunniang had already returned to Xiaowushan.
After the reconstruction of Xiaoyao Sect, the spiritual energy of Xiaowushan became abundant again.
However, this little spiritual energy is not of much use to Xu Chunniang, who has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
In addition, the entire Xiaowu Mountain was allocated to her, and the sect leader Yue Lingzheng issued an express order to other cultivators in the sect not to approach Xiaowu Mountain at will.
After revisiting the old place, Xu Chunniang's hidden uneasiness in her heart had unknowingly subsided.
She took off the silk flower on her head and looked at it carefully.
My mother-in-law is right. Wherever my heart is at peace is my hometown. Home is always in her heart and has never changed.
Xu Chunniang carefully put the silk flower away, and at this moment, she finally made up her mind about the matter that she had been hesitating about.
She sat cross-legged, looked inward at her soul, and found the memories hidden in her soul.
She integrated all the memories related to the formation together, except for the Soul Locking Formation and the parts related to the Zhou family formation.
These memories related to the formation spanned nearly a hundred years, and removing them was like cutting flesh.
Xu Chunniang showed reluctance in her eyes, but her actions were calm. She directly used the Soul Locking Formation technique to seal all the formations she had learned in the past.
The moment the seal was completed, there was a brief look of confusion in her eyes, and then she returned to normal.
Now, apart from the Zhou family's formation, she has no other memories related to formations.
The formation she had learned for so many years was sealed rashly, which made Xu Chunniang feel empty in her heart and she was very uncomfortable.
She took out the Zhou family's formation jade slip and read it through several times before slowly suppressing the uncomfortable feeling.
"The formation is based on the principles and is based on the changes of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams...
Changes are based on the principles of formations. All changes remain the same, and they return to the principles of nature. "
Xu Chunniang put down the jade slip, a thoughtful look in her eyes, and took out a commonly used fire crystal stone.
According to the Zhou family's formation, everything has its own logic. Only by arranging the formation according to the objects used in the formation and making it reasonable can a perfect formation be arranged.
The fire crystal belongs to the fire element. By utilizing its characteristics, you can set up a next-level five-element fire array.
Xu Chunniang seemed to be thinking about something, and took out seven more fire crystals. She placed eight of them according to the directions, urging the spiritual energy around her body to transform into fire spiritual energy, creating a connection between these fire crystals.
After trying several times, the fire crystal in the east finally lit up, emitting a faint glow.
Soon after, the fire crystal in the southeast direction also lit up and emitted flames.
But at this moment, the fire crystal stone in the south suddenly exploded with a "bang", and the flames shot up half a meter high.
After the fire crystal stone in the south exploded, the two fire crystal stones that had lit up previously also exploded one after another, announcing the failure of this formation.
Xu Chunniang waved her hand, picked up the broken remnants of the fire crystal, and swept her spiritual sense over the remaining five fire crystals.
The five fire crystals looked intact and had not been affected in any way.
She carefully recalled the formation she had just set up, the position of the fire crystals, and the amount of fire spiritual energy, and soon found the reason for her failure.
The formation is determined by the principles of the formation. A slight error will lead to a huge mistake. The slightest mistake will affect the changes of the entire formation.
The position of the fire crystal in the south was slightly shifted, causing the fire spiritual energy to suddenly increase when it was transmitted to the south, which caused the fire crystal to explode.
After figuring out where the problem lay, Xu Chunniang took out three fire crystals again and rearranged the positions.
It sounds simple to follow the principles of all things and set up the formation in accordance with the principles, but in fact, it places extremely high demands on the person who sets up the formation.
Not only does it require the person setting up the formation to comprehend the principles of the formation and adapt to changing circumstances, it also requires the ability to precisely control spiritual energy.
Fortunately, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, Xu Chunniang has reached an extremely high level in both comprehension and control over spiritual energy.
Even so, she failed dozens of times in setting up the simplest first-level formation.
But every failure made Xu Chunniang realize her own shortcomings and brought her closer to success.
Her mind gradually calmed down, and only eight fire crystals in different positions remained in her eyes.
Unconsciously, I entered a state of oblivion of both myself and the world.
This time, she placed the fire crystals in eight directions and then slowly injected a stream of water spirit into them.
Water can extinguish fire. Injecting water spirit into the fire crystal can prevent the fire crystal from exploding.
A wisp of water spirit energy moved from east to west, passed through eight fire spirit crystals, rotated counterclockwise for one circle, and then disappeared.
The fire crystal, which was originally a little restless, was suppressed by the water spirit and fell into a brief peace.
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, and carefully separated a stream of fire spiritual energy and sent it into the fire crystal stone in the east direction.
"Shh, shh, shh..."
Several subtle sounds were heard, and the fire crystals lit up one after another.
At the same time, the light in the center of the formation became brighter and instantly turned into a blazing fire.
At this point, the first-level five-element fire formation formed by eight fire crystals was finally successful.
Looking at the first-level formation in front of her, Xu Chunniang was very excited.
During the process of setting up the formation, there seemed to be a voice in her heart that kept saying that it was impossible to successfully set up the formation using a single fire crystal.
Under the influence of this voice, she failed no less than ten times.
Finally, she hardened her heart and ignored the voice. With her stubbornness, she tried many times and finally succeeded.
"The Zhou family's formation seems difficult, but in fact, it is easy as long as you master the method."
Xu Chunniang waved her hand, removed the first-level five-element fire formation in front of her, took out eight condensed water beads, and tried to set up a first-level five-element water formation.
This time it only took her a few days to successfully use the condensed water beads to set up the Five Elements Water Array.
Eight crystal clear water beads are located in eight directions. They are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, but are combined together by some mysterious connection.
After mastering the first-level five-element fire array and the five-element water array, it only takes some time to create other five-element arrays in the same way.
Xu Chunniang removed the Five Elements Water Formation, but did not rush to try other Five Elements formations. Instead, she took out four fire crystals and four water condensing beads.
Using these two spiritual materials, it seems that we can set up a water and fire balance formation
She thought about the formation theory carefully and found that it was indeed feasible in theory.
However, compared to a single five-element formation, the water and fire formation is more difficult.
But facing challenges head-on seems to be what she has always been doing.
Since you have chosen the formation, you must exhaust all the principles of formation and calculate the myriad changes in the formation.
Xu Chunniang placed the fire crystals at the four cardinal points of due east, due south, due west and due north, and then placed the condensed water beads at the four corners, so that they were spaced apart but echoed each other from a distance.
After several attempts, he successfully set up the Water and Fire Balance Formation.
Water and fire are inherently incompatible, but in the Ji Ji formation, the fire crystals and the condensed water beads each take their place and blend seamlessly together.
Compared with a single five-element water array or fire array, its power is several times stronger.
