I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 155 Competition in Xiuxian City

"Everyone, Yunzhong City's achievements today are all dependent on you. We must continue our efforts. What year will it be in two years? Do you still remember?" Yun Wenting smiled.

Jing Hongping answered excitedly:

"I certainly remember it. The 'Four Cauldrons' Competition' is held every ten years."

Yun Wenting patted his thigh:

"Hahaha, that's right. You should practice diligently so that you can get a good ranking in the coming year. Other Fellow Daoists should all understand the importance of the ratio of the four tripods. Chen Fellow Daoist may not know it, so let me introduce it. Binay"

The ratio of the Four Cauldrons, in layman's terms, is a battle between the four immortal cities of the Lingxiao Sect.

Foundation Building ratio.

The contestants are usually 1-2 people each from the early stage, middle stage, and late stage of the Foundation Building.

As for whether it is 1 person or 2 people, it is determined by Lingxiao Sect based on the situation of the four immortal cities at that time. Some Xiu Immortal Cities may not have that many Foundation Building monks at a certain level.

This 'ratio of the four tripods' is as important as the competition of young disciples between the four Immortal Cultivation Cities and the Endless Forest Trial. It can directly determine the number of outstanding Qi Refining disciples from the Cultivation Cultivation City to Lingxiao Sect.

Most of Xiuxian City is controlled by families.

This determines the chances of his young children entering the Lingxiao Sect.

So we take it very seriously.

All major immortal cultivation cities will work hard to achieve good results.

Chen Ping felt anxious when he heard this.

The Lingxiao Sect not only assesses 'KPI', but also encourages involution among Xiuxian City.

Not a good sect.

It's a real dog.

Chen Ping listened carefully when Yun Wenting introduced, but when Yun Wenting finished the introduction, Chen Ping immediately leaned forward and secretly chatted with Jing Hongping who was sitting next door to avoid Yun Wenting's eyes.

Then there was another round of changing cups.

When everyone was chatting away, at the end of the banquet, Chen Ping deliberately went to hang out in front of Yun Wenting.

Yun Wenting didn't see through Chen Ping's state at all.

Chen Ping couldn't help but feel a little happy.

This old man saw through his realm at a glance. Isn’t that possible now? Let you pretend. Haha, the other High Level Aura Concealing Technique is quite useful.

After coming out of the meeting hall, he made an appointment with Yun Haitang to go to her house to learn formations the next day.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Chen Ping appeared at Haitang Mansion.

The formation prepared by the maid led Chen Ping into Yun Haitang Cave Mansion.

The pot of three-clawed dragon snake grass was placed on the desk in Yun Haitang's guest room.

"Has Fellow Daoist Chen ever learned about formations before?" Yun Haitang took out several formation disks, tokens and the like.

Chen Ping said honestly:

"Very few. Yun Fellow Daoist just treats me as someone who doesn't understand the formation at all."

Yun Haitang nodded.

Handed Chen Ping a jade slip:

"This jade slip contains a detailed introduction to the battle method. Fellow Chen Daoist can slowly ponder it in the future. Today, I will give a brief introduction to Fellow Chen Daoist."

Then he gave Chen Ping a brief introduction to the formation.

Let's not talk about advanced formations. For formations below Rank Three, each set of formations usually consists of formation disks, spiritual stones and control tokens.

The amount of formation disks and spirit stones required is closely related to the complexity of the formation. The more complex and advanced the formation, the more equipment is required.

The formation usually consists of two parts.

The first is the production of Law Weapon tools.

The second is the construction of the formation.

The tools of the formation are the formation disk and the control token, each of which is a Law Weapon.

These Law Weapons are made by monks who are proficient in formations and weapon refining.

A pure weapon refiner cannot do it.

Even a pure formation mage can't do it.

As for the second link - setting up the formation.

It has some similarities with the talisman. They all need to operate the laws of heaven and earth for their own use.

How can we say that formation is the first of the four arts of cultivating immortals?

It makes sense.

"At this stage, Chen Fellow Daoist does not need to practice in making array plates and tokens. I only know a little bit about it. What I can teach Chen Fellow Daoist is the last step, that is, setting up the formation." Yun Haitang said, and Replenish:

"As for the formation disks and tokens, Fellow Daoist Chen can purchase them in the store. There are specialized formation masters who forge formation disks and tokens for common formations."

"Of course, array plates and tokens for common formations can be purchased. If Fellow Daoist Chen wants to build some ancient formations in the future, or even create his own formations, he will have to learn the art of cultivating weapons."

understood.

That means going to primary school first at this stage.

No.

kindergarten.

Then go to junior high school, high school, college...

That's right, it's not easy to arrange common formations by yourself now, so why talk about advanced formations?

That's all a matter of the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Chen Ping smiled and said:

"It is a blessing to be able to learn this formation technique from Fellow Yun Daoist. I also ask Fellow Yun Daoist to teach me."

Yun Haitang hummed:

"Okay, let's start with the most common Spirit Gathering formation."

It took several days to learn this lesson.

have to say.

The real essence of the formation lies in the second link - 'arrangement'.

If you want to give an example, the refining of the array disk is somewhat like a talisman skin, while the formation of the array is somewhat like painting a talisman.

When setting up the formation.

The first step is to refine the prohibitions on each array disk you bought.

That is to make the prohibition come alive.

Able to sense each other's existence, not a dead thing.

The second step is to accurately calculate the placement of each array disk.

This step may not be too complicated during the practice process, but if it is used on site, you need to make full use of the local situation and use it flexibly.

What matters is the understanding of the essentials of the battle method.

The more thorough the understanding, the more sensitive the perception of the magic formation, and the more exquisite the formation is.

The third step is to cast the corresponding spell to turn the isolated array disk, control token, and spiritual stone into a large array.

This step is the most critical.

The formation master must use spiritual consciousness as the 'pen', spiritual power as the 'ink', heaven and earth as the 'paper', and the formation disk as the 'node' to connect the various elements.

Use spiritual power to draw invisible ‘formation patterns’.

Eventually a formation is formed.

If you need to sell this formation, you need to perform the next action.

That is the fourth step:

Gather the formation and imprison it with special restrictions.

This formation is now ready for sale.

The monk who purchases the formation only needs to refine the overall restriction by himself, and the entire formation can be used by him.

Even if the purchaser does not understand the placement of the formation disks, since each formation disk is connected and imprisoned by the formation patterns, even if the placement is not good, it will not cause the formation to fail.

Of course, such a formation is a dead thing.

It is not as good as similar formations that are arranged according to the situation on site.

The effect must be discounted.

When he saw Chen Ping using his spiritual power to refining the formation disk like a storage bag, Yun Haitang patiently explained:

"When refining the formation disk, it is different from refining other Law Weapons. While spiritual power is injected into the formation disk, you must also use your spiritual consciousness to sense the direction of the prohibitions on the formation disk, and try to understand and make the prohibition lines on each formation disk Reappear in the spiritual consciousness. In this way, even the formation disk you bought will look like you have refined it yourself."

"."

When seeing Chen Ping struggling to find the best position in the mini formation, Yun Haitang pointed out:

"When looking for the best formation position, we must take into account not only the Xunkan Ligendui position in the spell, but also the scene of the formation. If the formation is a killing formation, we must pay attention to the aspects of life, death, Du, Ke, etc. Coordination pays attention to the importance of domestic and foreign, and the knot of hardness and softness. If you want to set up a psychedelic formation, you must pay attention to each other's virtuality and reality, changes in longitude and latitude, the sudden advancement of strange causes, and the interaction of multiple causes. As for this Spirit Gathering formation, it pays attention to the source of the soul. Be adaptable and flexible, so that you can save time and effort and achieve the best results.”

"."

When seeing Chen Ping painting the formation patterns like symbols, Yun Haitang reminded:

"This third step is the most critical step. Chen Fellow Daoist can draw talismans. This is Chen Fellow Daoist's advantage and disadvantage. If he is constrained by his talisman skills, the power of the formation will be greatly reduced. The formation is not limited to one On a small piece of talisman paper, the heaven and earth should be used as the paper. The spiritual power should be long and uninterrupted, not light and heavy at the same time. Especially where the lines of the spiritual power intersect, the spiritual power should be slowed down and the corners should be rounded. Fusion facilitates the gathering and transformation of spiritual energy.”

"."

After more than half a month of practice, Chen Ping felt that familiar feeling - the throbbing of changes in panel data.

[Formation: Rank One Spirit Gathering Formation (Entry): 1/1000. ]

‘It’s really not easy. ’

‘This is probably the skill/spell that takes the longest time to get started. ’

‘Good thing I’m getting started. ’

Chen Ping came out of Haitang Mansion, and the steady maid Xiaohong saw Chen Ping out of the house:

"It is not easy to practice the formation. If Master Chen Immortal doesn't understand anything, you can come to Haitang Mansion more often in the future."

Chen Ping rolled his eyes at her:

"You're still here? I think the Palace Master of the Qin family looks like he wants to kill me."

Xiao Hong smiled.

I thought that she understood the Palace Master best.

Chen Ping thanked the gift and turned around to visit the shops in the city.
