Naturally, Lu Ye wouldn't urge the talent tree here to absorb the power of the Earth Fire. He was kind enough to bring him to build an array flag. It would be too outrageous to do so.
That's digging someone else's corner.
The furnace quickly turned red, and Bai Lao raised his hand and threw a metal ingot into the furnace. By the way, he compared Lu Ye: "How to choose the materials for the formation flag and formation base?"
"Usually choose that kind of light and strong metal, and at the same time have strong conductivity to spiritual power. Honeycomb steel and black iron are the most commonly used materials. In addition, if there is a need, some monster skins can also be used for the flag. Refining…”
Lu Ye recalled Bai Qian's previous teachings and talked eloquently.
Bai Qian nodded in satisfaction and asked a few more questions, which Lu Ye answered quickly.
"Theories are just theories after all. Master these theories and at the same time have the ability to implement them, otherwise it will be just a piece of paper."
The metal ingot thrown into the furnace by Bai Qian quickly turned into a flowing liquid. He urged his spiritual power to raise his hand and grab it, and the red and hot liquid was immediately caught by him. The mass of liquid immediately transformed into the shape of the formation flag.
"When you have a strong enough control over your own spiritual power, you can refine the formation flag without external force. If you can't do it, you can use a mold." Saying this, he placed the scalding liquid in the In a mold pit on the forging platform, that is the mold of the array flag.
After cooling down a little, Bai Qian took out the rough blank of the array flag, grabbed the hammer and smashed it down.
Under the hammer, Lu Ye seemed to hear a series of hammer sounds, but the many hits were connected together, making it difficult for him to distinguish the real from the real.
"Whether it's refining an array flag or a spiritual tool, you need to have a strong control over your own power. The biggest reason why the array flag and the spiritual tool can play a role is that there is a prohibition on the branding. There is no prohibition, no matter how precious the material is. It's just an empty shell. Excellent craftsmen can change the internal structure of the spiritual tool in the process of forging weapons, so as to form the restrictions. It is even said that some craftsmen can use a material to forge weapons. The blank, and then use a material to create a ban, the two combined into one, can make the power of the spiritual tool stronger, but that requires very deep skills, the old man has no talent in this way, there is no way to do this kind of thing."
Along with Bai Qian's words, there was the sound of the knock. Lu Ye observed it carefully and found that every time he knocked down, the hammer would vibrate violently. With the blessing of his eyes, Lu Ye could see more clearly, and as Bai Qian said, with his percussion, the internal structure of the soldier blank changed slightly, thus forming a series of restrictions.
"That's why the old man said that, like you, the five elements are the main fire, and those who have practiced fire-type exercises have a unique advantage in forging weapons. When your skills are advanced in the future, you don't need to use foreign objects to refine them in the air. What you want, many skills can also be displayed at will, but your cultivation base is still low, don't think about these, laying a good foundation is the most important thing."
"Yes."
The sound of ding ding ding rang continuously, and it took only one incense stick before and after, and a small array flag only the size of a slap was released.
The array flag is only the carrier, and the prohibition inside the array flag is the key. Depending on the prohibition, the array flag can play different roles. However, a single array flag is useless. Different array flags cooperate with each other. , so that the formation can be formed and the formation can be broken.
After observing it from beginning to end, Lu Ye found that it is not difficult to forge the array flag itself. It can be said that as long as there is a mold, the rough blank of the array flag can be made casually, even if it is ugly, it doesn't matter, the difficulty is in the array flag. created a ban.
This is not the same as his urging his own spiritual power to build a spiritual pattern. He has a high control over his own spiritual power, and it is not difficult to build those spiritual patterns that he has learned from books.
The spirit pattern can be struck with a hammer to form a ban, and it still needs to be formed inside the array flag, which is not very difficult.
"Try!" Bai Qian ordered.
Lu Ye nodded, watching it ten times is not as good as starting it himself. Bai Qian has already demonstrated to him how to build a flag once. Although he doesn't understand Bai Qian's method of building it very well, this kind of thing has to be practiced to understand it.
He took a metal ingot from Bai Qian and threw it into the furnace. After turning it into a liquid, he urged his spiritual power to wrap it, take it out, and place it in the mold. After cooling down a little, Lu Ye grabbed the hammer beside him and recalled With Bai Qian's technique, a hammer fell.
Two distinct rhythm ding dings sounded, and with Lu Ye's beating, spiritual power began to stir.
"It's just the beginning, don't worry too much, you must first learn how to use the hammer to drive your spiritual power into the formation flag, and use the spiritual power to change the internal structure of the formation flag, so that it is possible to build the spiritual pattern in the formation flag. , forming a ban." Bai Qian taught carefully.
"Yes."
ding ding dong…
Lu Ye was sweating like rain, Bai Qian gave advice from time to time, and every time he pointed at the key points, Lu Ye could clearly recognize his own shortcomings.
Failed again and again and again and again.
Fortunately, this practice will not cause waste of materials. If it is broken, it will be thrown into the furnace for recasting, and it will be fine to continue forging.
The soul-washing water given to Bai Qian before has undoubtedly played a role, otherwise, Lu Ye, a person from a foreign sect, how could Bai Qian personally teach so tirelessly.
Until a day later, a somewhat rough array flag was released.
Bai Qian checked a little and nodded slightly: "It's not bad, but there are a lot of things to improve, let's continue."
With the first successful experience, it becomes easy to create other array flags.
Time passed, and a pole array flag was built.
According to Bai Qian's previous teachings, the most basic array flag has thirty-six poles. Considering Lu Ye's current cultivation level, as long as he builds these thirty-six-pole array flags, it is basically enough.
The more advanced formation flags are not in a hurry to build for the time being, and he will consider it after his cultivation base increases and his formation skills are improved.
In the beginning, Lu Ye could only build one array flag a day on average. The main reason was that it was too difficult. If you want to change the internal structure of the array flag with a single hammer, you want to change the structure into the unique pattern of the spirit pattern. It is difficult, once a mistake occurs, it must be returned to the furnace and recast.
According to Bai Qian, a true master of craftsmanship can often smash out a spirit pattern with a single hammer. In this way, both the efficiency and fault tolerance of crafting craftsmanship are greatly improved.
And a monk like Lu Ye, who is the main fire of the five elements and has also practiced fire-based exercises, can directly stimulate the spiritual power to change the internal structure of the array flag after the cultivation is sufficiently advanced, so that there is no need to beat.
By the time Lu Ye finished refining the most basic set of array flags, half a month had passed.
As Bai Qian walked out of the forging workshop, and the dazzling sunlight was pouring down, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel as if he had passed away.
"Go back to rest today, and tomorrow I will take you to the Hundred Array Pagoda." Bai Qian took him back to his residence and left after giving an order.
After Bai moved away, Lu Ye lay directly on the bed, not wanting to move, and fell into a deep sleep.
It took half a month to refine the formation flag, and there was almost no rest during the period, so I was really tired.
When he woke up, Yiyi had already prepared a sumptuous meal, and Lu Yehu ate a meal of Haisai, only then did he feel refreshed.
Bai Qian arrived as promised, urging his spiritual power to wrap Lu Ye and fly in one direction.
Not long after, the two landed in a valley. In the valley stood a stone pagoda with a height of several dozen feet. The base of the tower was almost ten feet in diameter.
This is the purpose of Lu Yelai Tianyanzong, the Hundred Array Pagoda.
It's just that he thought it was too simple at first, thinking that if he came to Tianyanzong, he could enter the Hundred Array Pagoda, but it took a month and a half to learn the formation path and build the formation flag with Bai Qian.
But it is worth it after all, as the so-called sharpening of the knife does not mistake the chopping of wood.
Just as the news that Lu Ye was still alive was prevented from leaking before, Tian Yanzong evacuated all the staff of the forging workshop, today Tian Yanzong also evacuated all the people here, and the valley where the Hundred Array Pagoda is located is completely blocked.
So when Bai Qian brought Lu Ye here, the place was empty.
The Hundred Array Pagoda is not complete. From the outside, this stone pagoda seems to be cut off from it. Only the lower half of the tower is missing, and the upper half is missing.
Zhao Li told Lu Ye before that the Hundred Array Pagoda is divided into three parts, one of which is in Tianyanzong, and the other is in Yunhe Battlefield. As for the last part, no one knows where it is, and it has not appeared so far.
There is also a stone tablet at the bottom of the stone pagoda. The spiritual light flows on the stone tablet, and occasionally some messy lines appear.
Lu Ye stared at it for a while, but did not understand what these lines were.
"It is said that this is a list." Bai Qian explained on the side, "Anyone who has broken through the Hundred Array Pagoda and performed well is eligible to be named on this list and admired by future generations, but because the tower itself is incomplete. , so this list can't be revealed, maybe only by making the Hundred Array Pagoda complete, this monument can recover its effect."
He turned his head and looked at Lu Ye seriously: "I think you have learned some information about the Hundred Array Pagoda these days. There are opportunities in the tower, but there are also dangers. When entering this tower, keep in mind that you must do what you can. "
"Yes."
He has been in Tianyanzong these days. Naturally, he has learned about the information of the Hundred Array Pagoda through various aspects. He knows that Bai Qian is not exaggerating. It is of great benefit to break through the Hundred Array Pagoda to practice against the Tao. It can be said that the entire Kyushu Haotian League practice The cultivators of the formation will try their best to come to Tianyanzong to break into the Hundred Array Tower. Tianyanzong also welcomes this.
But it is undeniable that this Hundred Array Pagoda has brought a lot of connections to Tianyanzong, which is an intangible benefit.
The Hundred Array Pagoda is very dangerous. The dangerous is not only the formation technique contained in the Hundred Array Pagoda itself, but also the benefits obtained after passing the test of each floor. This benefit itself is also dangerous.
There are many formation cultivators who died because they broke into the Hundred Array Towers, and among them are some genius formation cultivators from major sects.
