402: C402 Formation

C402 Formation

Lin Cheng's understanding did not let Zou Qingqi heave a sigh of relief. Instead, she felt a little disappointed.

She knew that the Longevity Sect would probably miss out on this expert who had excellent combat strength and skill in alchemy. This was no doubt a huge loss to the Longevity Sect.

However, there was nothing she could do. The Longevity Sect was currently struggling to maintain its existence. Most of them had either died in that huge incident or had left because of the decline of the Longevity Sect. Although the Myriad Sword Sect must have been involved in this, the decline of the Longevity Sect was an indisputable fact.

Currently, there were only a few dozen disciples in the Longevity Sect, and there were only a few experts among them. If the Unification Sect knew that the Longevity Sect had taken in a rebellious disciple of the Unification Sect... At that time, once the Unification Sect came knocking on their door... The Longevity Sect would never be able to protect Lin Cheng. They might even offend the Unification Sect because of this.

One should know that the last time Qiao Yanfu came here, he was the traitorous disciple of the Longevity Sect. He had already offended the Unification Sect by joining forces with the people of the Myriad Sword Sect in the secret realm to deal with the disciples of the Unification Sect. If this happened again, once the Unification Sect took revenge... It was hard to say whether the Longevity Sect would still exist.

Even if it did exist, it would become even more difficult for the Longevity Sect to maintain its relationship with the two big sects in the north at the same time.

When he thought about how the Longevity Sect had fallen to its current state, it was all because of the dog thieves of the Myriad Sword Sect who plotted against the Longevity Sect. Zou Qingqi couldn't help but gnash her teeth in anger. She only hated herself for not being strong enough. Otherwise, she would have definitely charged at the Myriad Sword Sect with her sword!

Zou Qingqi was thinking about her heart, but she didn't say anything. Lin Cheng, on the other hand, was focused on picking the herbs. Neither of them mentioned the matter of visiting a guest in the Longevity Sect. They just wanted to work together to explore the Tianluo Secret Realm.

Zou Qingqi's retreat did not affect Lin Cheng. In fact, he was happy to see this result. Because of the pressure of the Unification Sect, she did not dare to take him in. Zou Qingqi felt a little guilty. So when she explained to him, she was even more attentive and detailed.

This was almost the same as the handbook of Yan Mei that Lin Cheng had obtained in the past. This was because Zou Qingqi's Cultivation Level was much higher than Yan Mei's. At the same time, because she was the daughter of an elder of Longevity Sect, her knowledge and experience was not something Yan Mei could compare with.

Her explanation had benefited Lin Cheng a lot. Many areas that he had doubts about in his cultivation had become clear after Zou Qingqi's explanation.

What made Lin Cheng even more surprised was that Zou Qingqi had actually dabbled in formations!

This was something Lin Cheng had never come into contact with before, and he had never had the chance to come into contact with formations. Now that he heard that Zou Qingqi had also dabbled in formations, he immediately humbly asked for guidance.

"Actually, I'm not very proficient in formations either."

Zou Qingqi said with some embarrassment, "I studied formations just to slack off."

Seeing Lin Cheng's puzzled look, she explained in embarrassment. When she was young, she did not like to practice dull and boring. She was too playful and often ran out secretly. There was even one time that she almost ran down the mountain.

It was also after that time that her father was worried that she would secretly run out, so every day during the designated cultivation time, her father would set up a formation so that she could not secretly leave and could only cultivate in peace.

In order to get out, she learned formations.

When Lin Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. From Zou Qingqi's current state, he couldn't see the mischievous behavior of her when she was young. On the contrary, it was a little profound. It seemed like the changes in the Longevity Sect had changed Zou Qingqi a lot. It had also made her bear a lot of responsibilities.

"Actually, in the field of formation, the most important thing is the inscription of Array Pattern and the refinement of Array Flag."

Zou Qingqi said, "The position of the Array Flag will determine the direction of the Array Pattern, and the Array Pattern will be the bridge that connects the Heaven and Earth Spirit Power, and even the Laws of the Heaven and Earth. Different Array Pattern will have different shared uses."

Lin Cheng nodded silently. He had heard of these things before. These were all things of common sense.

"There are many types of Array Patterns. Even if it's just a First Grade Array Formation, there are countless variations. It is virtually impossible to remember all of the Array Pattern."

Zou Qingqi said, "So if you want to learn array formations, the first thing you need to learn is not Array Pattern, but to learn how to refine Array Flag. Only by successfully refining the Array Flag can you inscribe Array Pattern on it."

Lin Cheng was stunned, "Inscribe the Array Pattern on the Array Flag?"

"That's right!"

Zou Qingqi nodded and said, "Refining the Array Flag is only the first step to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the rules. After successfully refining the Array Flag, one must inscribe an Array Pattern on it. After all of these were completed, the next step was to arrange the Array Flag. Different array formations had extremely strict requirements for the location of the Array Flag. If the position of the Array Flag is slightly different, the power of the formation will be greatly reduced. "

"So that's how it is!"

Lin Cheng nodded in understanding.

This was the first time he had heard of it. In the past, he only knew that the most important part of the array was the Array Flag, the Array Pattern, and its array eye. However, he never knew that the Array Pattern was actually inscribed on the Array Flag.

"In other words, the Array Pattern is inscribed on the Array Flag. After that, all the Array Flag will be arranged according to certain rules. This way, all the Array Pattern on the Array Flag will shine on each other, forming a complete array formation? " Lin Cheng explained his understanding.

"A little bit is not bad!"

Zou Qingqi nodded and said.

Lin Cheng could not help asking when he heard that, "Then if you do not know how to arrange the Array Flag, but as long as you know the Array Pattern on the Array Flag... If you know how these Array Patterns reflect each other, then you just have to follow the direction of the Array Pattern and arrange it. Finally, it can also form a complete formation? "

"Of course! I don't know where the Array Pattern is, but if I know the location of the Array Flag, the array formation can naturally be set up. Under such circumstances, even if I don't know what array formation it is, the array formation will still be effective. "

Zou Qingqi nodded and said, "On the contrary, if you are proficient in the Array Pattern, you can set up the formation according to the direction of the Array Pattern. You can also arrange a complete formation, and even before the formation is completed. The formation master already knows what kind of formation this is. "

Lin Cheng immediately understood and said, "I understand now. This is actually similar to concocting pills. If you are familiar with the medicinal properties of every kind of spirit herb... Then an alchemist only needs to match the medicinal properties of the Five Spirit Herbs according to their own needs. Even though the refinement has yet to begin, an alchemist already knows the effects of this pill. "

"If an alchemist does not know the medicinal properties of each medicinal ingredient, he would have the pill formula in his hand. All he needs to do is to refine according to the medicinal formula. Finally, he will be able to successfully refine a pill. However, he might not know the actual effect of this pill. "

" Therefore, in the Dao of Formation, the position that the Array Flag needs to be arranged in... It's just like the pill formula in pill concoction. This is not the most important thing. The inscription of the Array Pattern and the refinement of the Array Flag are similar to how an alchemist is familiar with the medicinal properties of every type of spirit herb. Even without the pill formula, you can still concoct the pill. "

Lin Cheng now understood that the Array Pattern and the Array Flag were the foundation of an array formation. If he could master as many Array Patterns as possible, then he would know how to refine the Array Flag. Then, as long as the formation master was willing, he could set up the formation he wanted. Furthermore, before setting it up, he already knew what the use of this array formation was. Was it a killing array or an Illusory Array?

But this was only applicable to array masters. To those who were not proficient in array formations, it was useless. If they did not even know the function of the Array Pattern, how could they set up a formation?

However, if they knew the location of the Array Flag in advance, it would be like an alchemist knowing the pill formula. As long as they were suitable to set up the Array Flag, they could set up a formation as they pleased.

As such, even a person who knew nothing about array formations could set up the array formation.

However, this required one to have successfully refined the Array Flag in advance. Furthermore, the Array Flag had already been inscribed with the Array Pattern, and at the same time, one had to grasp the position of the Array Flag's formation!

These two methods could be said to have their pros and cons, and there was no distinction of superiority or inferiority in terms of usage.

However, if one wanted to study the array formation and truly grasp the array formation, these two were not enough. It was best if one was proficient in the Array Pattern, and also knew where the Array Flag should appear, and what kind of power it would have.

This was like an alchemist, or rather, a cultivator. Not only was he proficient in medicinal properties, but he also had a pill formula. At the same time, he also had a pill that he had refined. This way, when needed, he could easily do it.

This was Lin Cheng's understanding of Zou Qingqi's words.

"Senior Brother Lin's perception is really amazing!"

Zou Qingqi looked at Lin Cheng and could not help praising him. Lin Cheng's comprehension was... It really shocked her. She did not expect Lin Cheng to be able to link the formation with alchemy. Furthermore, he was able to infer three things, and he had a very thorough understanding of it.

She couldn't help but feel even more regretful in her heart. Even if Lin Cheng wasn't a genius, he could still be considered to have an amazing comprehension ability. For such a figure to be unable to invite him to join the Longevity Sect was a huge loss to the Longevity Sect.

Lin Cheng didn't know what Zou Qingqi was thinking. At this moment, he couldn't wait to understand everything about formations.

"Junior Sister Zou, how should I refine the Array Flag and how should I inscribe the Array Pattern?" Lin Cheng asked.

"The refinement of the Array Flag is very simple. As long as you have the foundation of refining, you can refine the Array Flag."

Zou Qingqi said, "However, the strength of the array is also related to the material of the Array Flag. And the method of refinement is largely related. There are some extremely terrifying array formations. If the Array Flag is too weak, it will not be able to withstand the spiritual energy and the rules of heaven and earth caused by the Array Pattern. The power of the array formation would be greatly reduced. In fact, once the array formation was set up, I'm afraid that the Array Flag will be destroyed as well."

Lin Cheng nodded. This was similar to concocting pills. If one wanted to refine a top grade pill, they naturally needed top grade medicinal herbs and herbs. Otherwise, the medicinal effects would be greatly reduced, and one might not even be able to refine it.

However, understanding the principles was one thing, but truly refining it was another. Lin Cheng humbly asked for guidance.

Next, Zou Qingqi explained in detail the key points of refining an Array Flag.

When Lin Cheng was in the Unification Sect, he had already obtained the Basic Refining Technique from Dong Taiyuan. Over the past year, he had been constantly experimenting and experimenting. He had already firmly recorded the entire Basic Refining Technique in his mind.

However, he had never had the chance to refine a weapon. After all, it was only the basic refining technique. He could only refine some simple items, and he had the Great Arrow in his hand. He simply could not use ordinary weapons, so he had never refined anything.

However, according to what Zou Qingqi said, if it was just an ordinary low level array, then the requirements for the Array Flag would not be that high. He knew the basics of refining artifacts, so using the refined true qi to arrange array formations below the third level should not be a problem.0

So what Zou Qingqi emphasized on explaining to Lin Cheng was the most complex and profound Array Pattern.
