C348 deduction
Yang Junshan didn't expect that he would be stuck on Hantian peak for half a year, because Ouyang Xunlin had failed her first attempt at upgrading the Mountain Lord's Seal into a high-grade magic tool!
Luckily, Yang Junshan brought enough Green Heaven Stones this time, and he also had a high-priced Heavenly Yellow Crystal that he had bought from the dark market as a backup. With the two combined, the effect was much better than the Green Heaven Stone he had previously used, but the difficulty of refining this stone was a little higher than before.
On top of that, during the process of ascension, it didn't cause too much damage to the original body of the Mountain Lord's Seal. Thus, after Yang Junshan spent a month to recover the damaged source energy of the Mountain Lord's Seal, Ouyang Xinlin began his second promotion.
Although Yang Junshan had other plans in mind, he had no choice but to wait patiently. Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the Heaven Shaking Mountain was much richer than the spiritual source of the West Mountain, and during this half a year of cultivation, Yang Junshan's cultivation improved a lot.
That morning, just as Yang Junshan finished his cultivation, he heard footsteps coming from outside the cave. From afar, he heard a voice, "Brother Yang, Brother Yang, are you there?"
When Yang Junshan walked out of the bamboo house, he saw Jia Mingguang standing outside the little wattled fence in the courtyard, looking around. When he saw Yang Junshan coming out, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Yang, the Junior Xu Jing and Xu Qing you asked me to help you find has been found!"
"Have you found her? Brother Jia, can you tell Lady Xu that I want to meet her?" Yang Junshan's face lit up and he quickly opened the fence to invite Jia Mingguang in.
Jia Mingguang waved his hand to indicate that he wouldn't enter and replied, "I've already sent the message that you wanted to see her to her residence with the message talisman. However, it seems like she didn't stay there at that time, but the moment she returns to her residence, she'll see the message I left her."
"Alright, then I'll be troubling Brother Jia!"
Jia Mingguang pretended not to be happy and said, "Why are you and I being so courteous? Oh right, I heard that a store in Yu City is auctioning a batch of treasures targeting Martial Disciples. Are you interested in following us to take a look?"
Yang Junshan spread out his hands helplessly and said, "I won't go. When I came down to Yu City, I didn't bring much jade coins, and I spent the first time I failed to upgrade my magical equipment, so I spent all my savings on it. Now that I'm very poor, I can only salivate on the side, and Brother Jia has already told Lady Xu the location of my temporary residence."
"That's true," Jia Mingguang said thoughtfully. "The reason why this Junior Sister Xu became an inner disciple before he reached the third level of the Martial Disciple realm is because he had the help of Junior Brother Zhang Yueming. "Well, in short, it's not bad to be cautious!"
Looking at Jia Mingguang's back view, Jia Mingguang felt as if he was implying something, but Yang Junshan was too lazy to think about it. In any case, the two of them were from the same village, and since they had come to Heaven-Shaking Peak, it was reasonable for them to view it, not to mention that he had come to the Heaven-Shaking Sect with Xu Lei.
There were also many people stationed in the courtyards of each county. None of these people were familiar with each other, so Yang Junshan had to spend a lot of effort just to get rid of Jia Mingguang and find Xu Jing.
Originally, they wanted to look for Xu Jing, but it was much easier for Yang Junshan to go directly to Zhang Yue Ming and Liu Zhifei, as both of them were now true disciples of Heaven Shaking Sect. However, in the underground cave in the Sunset Mountains, Yang Junshan had cooperated with the two of them, and although they didn't have any grudges against each other, there was a big gap between them, so Yang Junshan didn't want to ask for their help anymore to avoid embarrassment.
While he was waiting for his magical equipment to improve, Yang Junshan would also take a walk around the mountainside of Hantian Peak during his free time. This wondrous adventure of Hantian Peak was full of good places to see the scenery.
Fortunately, he had gotten familiar with a few of the nearby cultivators in this period of time. In the light of the rookie refiner Ouyang Xu Lin, Yang Junshan had received quite a bit of courtesy, so he had found Jia Ming Guang and Gao You who were part of the Array Hall through them.
Jia Mingguang and Gao You were surprised when Yang Junshan came to pay them a visit, but they knew that Yang Junshan had the recommendation jade token from the azure-robed Daoist Master. At the same time, they recognized the formation technique Yang Junshan had displayed at the Sunset Mountains, so they warmly welcomed him.
Through their introductions, Yang Junshan got to know a few Martial Disciples in the Heaven Shaking Sect. They often got to know each other and got along well.
After Yang Junshan had obtained the inheritance of the two array formations from the Duskfall Sage, he had always kept it a secret, and was unable to compare to the Heaven Shaking Sect's array formations on the basis of array formations. There were many questions that he did not understand, and during his interactions with the Heaven Shaking Sect's array masters, he often felt enlightened.
The Heaven Shaking Sect's Martial Disciples initially didn't think much of Yang Junshan, who came from an unorthodox background. However, because he was introduced by Jia Mingguang and Gao You, they maintained their politeness.
However, during his interaction with Yang Junshan, he discovered that although he was lacking in some basic aspects of formations, his understanding and insight into formations was quite good, and the points he put forward gave him a refreshing feeling. Only then did they put away their contempt and started to treat Yang Junshan as an equal.
During this period of communication, Yang Junshan's biggest gain was that he had become more adept at array chess, apart from further solidifying the foundation of the array.
After refining this chess piece, Yang Junshan came up with the idea of reforming the village protection array of Xishan Village.
The Magneton Spiritual Light Array was originally an outstanding inheritance of the Spiritual Grade Array. Otherwise, Yang Junshan wouldn't have used it as his personal magic array to cultivate.
However, the magnetic spiritual light formation itself was a supporting array, which could cause people who were trapped in the array to have difficulty moving, interfere with the movement of magic tools, hinder and distort the consciousness of cultivators that were trapped in the array, and greatly reduce the strength of the cultivators that had fallen into the array. However, it just couldn't kill the people that had fallen into the array!
The Magnetic Birth Divine Light Array itself was not a killing array. It could weaken a person's strength to the limit, but in the end, the person who laid the array had to personally make the final strike. In other words, when the array was uncontrolled or held back by other matters, the Magnetic Birth Divine Light Array would lose all its destructive power!
Therefore, after Yang Junshan received the array formation's legacy, especially after he obtained the Five Elements Thunder Gem and improved its quality further, he immediately had the thought of inserting the Five Elements Thunder Light Array into the array.
Yang Junshan had personally witnessed the power of the Five Elements Thunder Array. Back then, in the underground cave, a small Five Elements Thunder Spirit Formation had trapped two great circle cultivators, two late stage Martial Disciples, and several mid stage Martial Disciples. If it weren't for Yang Junshan, this formation master, finding a flaw and Liu Zhifei forcefully breaking through to the great circle of perfection, the crowd would have rushed out of the formation.
So far, Yang Junshan still had lingering fears whenever he thought of the scene from that day. Because of this, he spared no effort in studying the Five Elements Lightning Spiritual Array. At the same time, he also had the idea of inserting the Five Elements Thunder Array into the village protecting array.
Without a doubt, the power of the Five Element Thunder Light Array was far beyond that of the magnetic spirit array. But if the original magnetic spirit array was dismantled and the Five Element Thunder Light Array rearranged, then there would inevitably be a massive waste of resources.1
Fortunately, Yang Junshan had also inherited the secret technique of the Duskfall Daoist Master, and had utilized some of the basic points of the formation, and then embedded them into the Five Elements Thunder Light Array. This way, not only could it save a large amount of resources, but it could also help in the combination of two formations.
Imagine, after the two formations successfully overlapped, if a cultivator who was trapped in the formation wanted to move, his body would need to carry a force of a thousand jin. If a Five Elements lightning bolt struck down, even if the cultivator wanted to dodge it, he wouldn't be able to; if a magnetic spirit light flashed and the magic tool in his hand suddenly failed, he would be half a beat slower. The Five Elements lightning bolt had already accurately struck his body; if a lightning bolt struck, the cultivator's spiritual sense would only be able to avoid it.
However, the idea was naturally excellent, but it wasn't that simple to start fighting. Embedding the Five Elements Thunder Light Array into a magnetic light array, those basic points of the array could be used again and again, those that needed to be set up separately, and whether the individual array points would affect the magnetic light array, etc., all had to be meticulously deduced and calculated.
Initially, Yang Junshan had been thinking about this ever since they returned from the Sunset Mountains to the Western Mountain Village. However, he couldn't figure out how such an array could be built up, considering his current strength.
Now that he had chess in his hands, and it was even a mid-tier chess game, Yang Junshan had spent the rest of his time and energy on it, apart from cultivating and interacting with the formation masters of the Heaven Shaking Sect.
Fortunately, Yang Junshan had personally laid down the village protection array before, and he knew the surrounding topography like the back of his hand. With just his imagination, he was able to simulate the surrounding environment of the village.
For the next two days, Jia Mingguang didn't come looking for Yang Junshan, but Yang Junshan focused on the final deductions of the two superimposed array formations. And just as he was about to finish, Xu Jing, who had returned to Heaven Shaking Peak, finally found Yang Junshan, along with Zhang Yueming.
