C709 Foundations
Liao Xiaoduo said that he would go bankrupt, but he didn't have the slightest bit of water.
As a formation with peerlessly powerful Alien World, the Nine Winding River Formation had very high requirements for the building blocks.
Not only did they need ninety-nine, eighty-one foundation stones, but each one also needed to be repeatedly tempered. There couldn't be a single error, or else it might affect the unstable operation of the great array, leading to failure!
Although he had no shortage of Magic Stones, after repeatedly tempering them, each one was no less complicated than a simplified version of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. It could be said that he needed to refine eighty-one simplified versions of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda!
This really wasn't an easy task.
Even though Liao Xiaoduo had previously drawn advanced refining experience books, the foundation of the refining formation wasn't enough. Helplessly, he spent hundreds of millions to draw master level refining experience books.
It was impressive, but it also added to his thinning wallet.
At most, they would be able to hold on for six more days, and then they wouldn't be able to afford the daily rent for the blueprints for the Ninesongs Yellow River formation.
This rental effect was the same as a Fighter Experience Card. When it was in possession, nothing was a problem. But once the effect disappeared, the user would be returned to their original form.
In other words, if Liao Xiaoduo could not afford to rent the blueprint, then it would be very simple. All the experience he had with formations in his mind would be gone.
Moreover, the refining requirements of this array formation weren't just limited to this. The foundation stone was only the first step, and then there was another more important object – a treasure that could be used to press the array!
As the name implied, a pressuring treasure needed precious materials to be forged. The quality of the materials directly affected the quality of the formation.
After all, relying on a pile of trash wouldn't kill a strong martial artist, right?
In the same principle, if one wanted the Nine Winding River Formation to reach the point of killing countless Devil Creature, then the first thing they had to do was to confirm that this formation had to be powerful!
Liao Xiaoduo thought for a long time and finally held back his determination to put on the planet armor that he received from Murphy!
He had really put in a lot of effort!
The Star Armor was made from the nucleus of a star, and its value was hard to imagine. Amongst all of Liao Xiaoduo's current equipment, he was second only to the Breaking Mind Blade that had repeatedly performed miraculous things.
He had not experienced it for much and was about to give it up. How could he not feel sorry for it?
But there was nothing he could do, he couldn't bear to lose his children. If the quality of the magic treasure was too low, the Nine Winding River Formation might not be able to handle the Devil Creature s that came from the Alien World, this was too critical!
In the end, Liao Xiaoduo stopped thinking about the planetary armor and just pretended that he never got it.
"Ai, the more I think about it, the more my heart aches. I've really suffered a huge loss this time!"
"Forget it, I can't think about it any longer. I need to refine my weapon first!"
Liao Xiaoduo muttered to himself, and then he looked back at the small pile of Magic Stones and began to build.
… ….
"Ding ding ding!"
On the third day, a series of sounds came from the cave.
The difficulty of creating the foundation stone was much higher than Liao Xiaoduo had imagined. Not only did he have to constantly observe the size of the fire, he also had to pay attention to the amount of damage done and the imprint on the foundation stone so that there would be no mistakes.
Even with a master grade refining technique, it would still take a lot of effort for him to forge it.
Fortunately, after three days of endless forging, the first foundation stone was about to be completed!
As Liao Xiaoduo watched the Magic Stones under the hammer get deeper and deeper, his eyes gradually lit up. Liao Xiaoduo continued to sweat and constantly hammered the stones, paying attention to the force and angle of the blows in case of any carelessness!
By his side, there were already a few abandoned blacksmiths.0
"Ding ding ding ding ding …"
The sounds of the intense knocks were like the rain in spring, spreading out from the cave in an orderly manner. The sounds were gentle and rhythmic, like the whispers of a lover.
Finally, when the Magic Rock finally shrunk to a plain looking piece with complicated engravings on the surface, Liao Xiaoduo put down the hammer in his hand.
He let out a long sigh. Looking at the fist-sized finished product, he was filled with emotion.
"I've finally completed the first step!"
During these three days, he could be said to have done his best. He didn't even have time to eat or drink as he continued to work while starving.
Finally, heaven did not disappoint those who had put in effort. He had completed the first step!
Although it seemed like he was still far from reaching the 811th and 22nd stone pillars, Liao Xiaoduo knew that after he finished the first stone pillar, there wouldn't be much of a problem later on.
The reason was simple. Everything was difficult at the beginning.
This was just like a little kid who had his hands tied in front of his heart's desire for his first date, afraid that he would make the other party unhappy. However, after he had talked about the person several times, or more than two figures in numbers, this bashful feeling had completely disappeared, as if he had turned into a trash.
The same principle applied to forging the foundation stones.
After the first stone pillar was successfully forged, one would gain experience in happiness. After that, the second stone pillar would lose a lot of detours, and the third stone pillar might have no side effects. The fourth pillar, the fifth pillar … "The eighty-first arrow will only speed up!"
In short, after obtaining the first perfect product, it was only a matter of time.
Thinking of this, Liao Xiaoduo relaxed a little and took out the food and fresh water from his storage ring to fill his stomach.
At this moment, the audience in the outside world also began to sigh.
"It wasn't easy! I was lying on my bed watching the live broadcast, but I couldn't even get past Captain Liao. He's working too hard!"
"That's right, it's unbelievable! Every day when I close my eyes and see him forging, opening my eyes and forging again, I feel like I'm about to collapse from the torture. It's really hard to imagine how he could have endured it."
"Could it be that this is refining? Having seen the refining process of Team Liao, are there any students of the Refining Department who feel ashamed? "
"Back upstairs, I am from the Refining Department. I will not tell you that I was kneeling while watching the live broadcast for my sophomore year this year."
"Humph, you can boast! It's been three days, yet only one has been created. Who knows how long it will take to finish the formation!"
"Upstairs, there's no doubt about it!"
"..."
Liao Xiaoduo continued forging for three days and three nights. The audience watched for three days and three nights.
To think that there would be such a complicated forging technique in the world. It was simply unimaginable for him to have reached the pinnacle of controlling spiritual energy and fire to within milliseconds.
During these seventy-two hours, most of the audience was impressed with him. Only a few lemonade were still active, but they were quickly sprayed down by others.
After all, Liao Xiaoduo's refining had refreshed their knowledge.
At this time, Ye Qingtian suddenly rushed back into the cave from the outside and opened his mouth with one sentence — —
"Not good, something abnormal happened at the portal!"
