Chapter 218: Each Generation is More Difficult to Lead
Master Chongdao glanced at his disciple Qian'er and was very satisfied with the surprised and fascinated expression on her face. He then glanced at his disciple An'er on the other side.
Ok?
Why did he feel that this little disciple was absent-minded and his mind was not at all on the formation plate he had specially demonstrated?
Oh my, it’s really harder to take care of little kids nowadays than the previous one.
"Cough cough!" He coughed heavily twice again.
Pull the two people with different expressions back to their original positions.
He waved his sleeves, and the illusion in the air changed again according to his words.
"The most common formations are divided into two types. One is based on the terrain of mountains and rivers, and is placed with rare and secret treasures. It usually requires a strong spiritual power and a long time, and also requires a spiritual object that can suppress the formation's core. The other is a formation formed by various seals. This type of formation requires the sealer to have a high talent for formations. Similarly, in order to better unleash the power of this type of formation, it can be appropriately assisted by external objects.
"For example, a formation flag that many formation practitioners use can also be a spiritual weapon that you are very good at using."
Jiang Liqian summoned her own Soul-Suppressing Pearl, pointed at the twelve golden beads on it, and asked Master Zhongdao: "Are they okay?"
"Of course." Zhongdao nodded. "As long as we are of the same mind, it's all right."
"If I don't have these things and just cast the seals, will the magic circle appear? Will it reduce its power?"
Zhongdao chuckled and shook his head: "Of course not. Being able to form a formation without anything shows that one has a strong talent for formations. Of course, they could also be a formation master with advanced cultivation who no longer needs external help."
Jiang Liqian thought about how Xu Youan was able to quickly form seals without any external aids under the thunder from the sky. She thought that this must be the talent for formations that her master had mentioned?
There was also the way Qianhanshan formed a seal, without any external help...
She suddenly looked at the flag flying in the air and blinked in confusion: "Master, then you..."
Zhongdao raised an eyebrow at her, looking rather smug. "My dear disciple, don't you think it's very handsome to wave the formation flag like this? And the momentum is so strong, you can tell at a glance that it's the formation of the first formation cultivators."
"..."
Why did she feel that her master was just overthinking it?
But based on the sect rules and the instinct of respecting teachers, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Master Zhongdao's gaze passed over Jiang Liqian and landed on Xu Youan, who had been very quiet. He asked him gently, "An'er, is there anything you don't understand?"
Xu Youan shook his head: "There is nothing that I don't understand."
Master Chongdao looked at his little disciple curiously for a few more times and nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that his teaching ability is getting better and better. After only one explanation, the two little apprentices understood most of it.
With such a happy mood, he continued speaking.
"But in addition to the two formations mentioned above, there is another very special one." He took out a blank formation plate from his storage ring. "For some cultivators who don't know how to use formations, as long as the formation is engraved on this specially processed formation plate, they can use it directly. Similarly, besides formation plates, formations can also be engraved on many things, but they all need to be processed."
"Formations like these can actually be considered magical treasures engraved with the formation. The most important thing is whether the medium can withstand the power of the formation. So far, specially treated formation plates like these are the most cost-effective. Basically, as long as the formation isn't too bizarre, they can generally be used as a medium, so they are very popular in the cultivation world."
As he said that, Master Zhongdao handed the blank array plate to Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan, letting them touch it with their own hands.
"There are also different types of array plates depending on the power and function of the array. Once you finish reading all these books, you will understand everything clearly."
Chongdao had a smile on his face and raised his hand. Two stacks of formation books, each one person tall, were placed on the desks of Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan respectively.
"Don't worry, it not only contains explanations about the formation plates, but also basic knowledge about formations." After saying that, he pointed to the five formation books on the top.
"These books contain the simplest array formations, which are for beginners. The corresponding array seals are also included. I don't ask much of you. Just memorize them all within ten days. After ten days, come back here and we'll check on your memorization to see if you've encountered any problems."
Ten... ten days?
Jiang Liqian's expression suddenly changed.
It's not that she has a bad memory. When she memorizes the sword manual, she can basically remember it all just by taking a glance.
But the formation diagram is different. With her talent in formation, it would take her ten days and ten nights without food or water to memorize all of it.
And there are other books to read!
"Master..." She pursed her lips, wanting to ask him to give her a few more days, but the pride she had maintained for many years prevented her from saying a single word.
It was not known whether her inner prayers were heard by the gods, but the junior brother actually stood up on his own initiative and said that he was dull and could not complete the task in ten days, and wanted to be given ten more days.
Master Chongdao was not the type to force his disciples, he had always wanted them to be free-range, so after Xu Youan said that, he agreed without even thinking.
Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at him gratefully again.
She knew that with her junior brother's talent in formation, he might be able to master this simple formation within a day.
He was just buying her some time.
In order to thank her junior brother for speaking up for her, she took him to the canteen after coming out of Qingye Zhai. She patted the table and pointed at the dishes on the sign, telling him to order whatever he wanted. She would treat him today.
Although one has to practice fasting when reaching the foundation-building stage, the dishes in the canteen are still favored by disciples from all levels in the sect.
Junior brother has been in seclusion for so long, he must satisfy his appetite.
Xu Youan did not refuse. He looked at the menu and ordered a few dishes carefully. Then he accompanied Jiang Liqian and waited for the dishes to be served.
Just as Jiang Liqian was asking him in detail about the specific details of his retreat for recuperation, a group of people arrogantly squeezed between the two of them, pushing Jiang Liqian so hard that he almost hit the corner of the table behind him.
"Senior Sister!" Xu Youan's face changed drastically and he immediately came over to support her.
Unexpectedly, the group stopped at this moment, glanced at the two men with malicious intent, and said sarcastically: "Hey, Jiang Liqian, aren't you known as the number one in Qimingzhai? Ten years have passed, and you're still at the initial stage of foundation building. How dare you come out to eat?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, he went to the Sacrifice God Sect and built his foundation right after returning. He was praised to no end by the elders of the sect. But then... I don't know if it was because of the excessive consumption of elixirs that damaged his foundation, so he hasn't been able to break through yet."
"Oh, stop it, everyone. The sect's ten-year disciple recruitment conference is about to begin. Compared to those newbies, isn't she still number one?"
