Li Shiyin had been with Qin Ran for more than ten years. Although she still didn't know how to set up a formation, she still had good eyesight. She was not mistaken. The people in the sky were indeed setting up a formation to protect the mountain.
Daojianmen’s mountain protection formation!
Daojian Sect was going to set up a mountain protection formation, but Kieran didn’t know about it. So far, the person who knew the formation best in Daojian Sect didn’t know about this.
He didn't hear a word from beginning to end.
Daojian Sect was going to set up a mountain protection formation. If Qin Ran hadn’t taken action, then it could only have been set up by the people of Tianji Sect.
So, when Gu Yueming decided to set up a mountain protection formation, he did not discuss it with Qin Ran; when he decided to ask for help from the Tianji Sect, he did not inform Qin Ran; when the Tianji Sect's disciples came to Daojian Sect and even started to set up the formation, Qin Ran still did not receive any notification.
He was kept in the dark from beginning to end. There is no need to explain what this means.
“I thought…” Qin Ran looked at the sky and whispered, “I could at least set up a mountain protection formation for Daojian Sect.”
With Li Shiyin, he couldn't stay in Daojianmen forever. But his original plan was to kill Wuyinjianzong first, then cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, and then set up a strong enough formation for Daojianmen before taking Li Shiyin out of the Immortal Relics Land.
It just so happens that they want to go out and play, and the Nascent Soul stage will be a little safer.
But he never expected that Gu Yueming was wary of him to this extent.
No matter how insightful he was about human nature and how cautious he was, he still underestimated the impact of desire and power on people, and overestimated the value of feelings.
"Master." Li Shiyin stepped forward and held Qin Ran's hand.
She knew that her master had already begun to deduce Daojianmen's mountain protection formation. They were about to leave Daojianmen, and he wanted to do one last thing for Daojianmen...
In this world, apart from Qin Ran’s clone, she knew him best. She knew that he didn’t trust people’s hearts, but at the same time, he attached great importance to feelings.
He was so afraid of death, but he still stayed when Daojianmen was in the most dangerous time; while he was thinking about running away, he still revitalized Danfeng for his master.
Only she knew how much harm the headmaster's action had caused to the master.
"Alas..." Qin Ran sighed, looking at the sky, and said, "This is human nature, I have known it for a long time. The master just reminded me again. As expected, when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden. No matter what era, no matter what world, as long as you are a human, it is applicable." "Master..." Li Shiyin held Qin Ran's hands with both hands, looked at him from the side, and said firmly, "I will always be by your side."
Qin Ran turned around to look at her, and they looked at each other, everything was unspoken. He put his other hand over, and the two of them held hands tightly.
… Otherwise, why would you call him a stupid disciple
He laughed: "Perhaps the leader is afraid that the Infinite Sword Sect will launch a surprise attack. It is understandable."
"Yes!" Li Shiyin nodded and smiled, "Besides, someone has set up the formation, so you don't have to be busy, Master. You are so lazy, you should be happy."
“Hahaha…” Qin Ran laughed and gently pulled Li Shiyin into his arms. He held her and looked at the people running around in the air surveying the terrain and directions. He said, “Yeah, we’ll lose a lot of hair! And we don’t need to set up a formation. We can go out and play earlier. We don’t have to wait until the Nascent Soul stage.”
Guo Huaili, a disciple of the Tianji Sect, entered the Tao through formations. He has already reached the late Nascent Soul stage and is only one step away from the Spirit Transformation stage.
He was invited by Gu Yueming, the head of Daojian Sect in Xianyi Land, to rearrange the sect's mountain protection formation for Daojian Sect. He knew that a large formation had occurred in Daojian Sect a few years ago, destroying the mountain protection formation. So he rushed to Daojian Sect as quickly as possible.
In the long two thousand years, he had set up and broken countless formations, and he had seen all kinds of strange formations. But at this moment, in Daojianmen, he saw a very interesting formation.
It's not that the formation is so powerful or mysterious, but he can see that the formation was not set up by a cultivator who practices the way of formations, but was set up by cultivators who took other paths, purely using external means and calculation and reasoning.
"Who set up that formation?" He pointed at the formation and asked the Daojian Sect member beside him.
"Oh, that's Danfeng, the formation set up by the leader of Danfeng." The person next to him replied.
"The head of Danfeng?" Guo Huaili murmured. The formation was not a powerful one, but he knew that the person who set it up was a powerful person. He asked again, "Is he an alchemist?"
"Of course it's the alchemist..." said the person next to him, "The number one alchemist in Daojian Sect."
"The number one alchemist!" Guo Huaili stood in awe. A person who has such attainments in alchemy also has such attainments in the art of formations!
So after completing the terrain survey that day, Guo Huaili came to Danfeng with gifts and paid a visit to the abbot of Danfeng.
Qin Ran met him personally and invited him to sit under the old locust tree. He asked Li Shiyin to cook some side dishes, and the two of them sat opposite each other and drank.
After the greetings and three rounds of drinks, Guo Huaili laughed for a while and said to Qin Ran, "Before I met Master Qin, I thought he was an old senior who was thousands of years old. I didn't expect him to be a young man who is not even fifty years old. It's true that heroes emerge from youth."
He drank a glass of wine and finally asked, "So I can't understand how the Master, who is so young, can have such a terrifying attainment in the art of formations?"
He pointed at Danfeng's mountain protection formation.
If the Danfeng Mountain Protection Formation was set up by a cultivator who practices formation, it wouldn't be scary. Because as long as one has a little talent, he can also set up such a formation at the age of thirty. The scary thing is that the one who set up this formation is an alchemist.
It's probably like a top basketball player kicking a good football.
Qin Ran ate a mouthful of food and asked Guo Huaili directly: "What do you think of the relationship between arithmetic and formations, Senior Guo?"
"Arithmetic?" Guo Huaili was startled. As a master of formations, he reacted quickly:
If you learn the formation from the bottom up, starting with the formation patterns and then learning the formation at the end... If you have a high enough level of arithmetic attainments, then it is indeed possible.
But the thing is…
"How high a level of mathematical attainment does that require?!" he asked in amazement.
Qin Ran looked at him and said confidently, "I just have such a high level of arithmetic attainment."
Guo Huaili remained silent. After drinking a few more glasses of wine with Qin Ran, he asked, "Master Qin, are you willing to teach me?"
“Why not?” Qin Ran waved his hand and said, “Magic must be exchanged to develop. If everyone keeps their own things to themselves, the development of magic will stagnate or even die out.”
Upon hearing this, Guo Huaili toasted Qin Ran and said, "Master Qin, great righteousness!"
Qin Ran took out a book on basic mathematics from his Qiankun bag. It was written for Zhui Feng, but the silly boy was still confused. He placed the book in front of him and said to Guo Huaili, "This is a book on basic arithmetic. I can give it to you. But I have a request."
"Master Qin, please feel free to speak!"
Qin Ran looked at Guo Huaili and said, “For all the large sects in the Immortal Relics Land, the mountain protection formations are set up by your sect… The Infinite Sword Sect is no exception!
"I would like to ask the senior to give me some pointers on the maze."
Guo Huaili stood up suddenly and said, "Absolutely not!"
