Chapter 307: Ordinary Formation

After Jia Zhengxing left, Qin Shaochen naturally talked to Zhou Ziyao about the "Zongdan".

Hearing that the conditions for obtaining Zongdan had changed. From a trip to Huainanzhou, it became a thousand spirit stones.

Zhou Ziyao was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Two thousand spirit stones, converted into two hundred thousand taels of silver.

That was still the theoretical price.

In fact, if you take one hundred taels of silver to buy a low-grade spirit stone, basically no one will sell it to you.

At least two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver are needed to exchange for so many spirit stones.

According to that price, Zhou Ziyao's capital was almost completely emptied.

Zhou Ziyao was naturally angry and anxious.

"Stinky boy, you are too strong, aren't you? You want to sell a pill for two thousand spirit stones. Are you going to bankrupt me directly?"

"You stinky boy, you are too cruel. You don't even want to leave a coffin board for me!"

Qin Shaochen looked aggrieved.

"Elder Zhou, the price was set by my elder."

"I've said a lot of good things for you, and only then did I get the price down from 2,500 to 2,000 spirit stones."

"It's impossible to lower it further."

"My elder said that if you take that Zong Dan to the capital, you can easily sell it for 3,000 spirit stones."

"That's because of my face, so they are willing to give such a favorable price."

Qin Shaochen naturally began to deceive.

"Elder Zhou, think about it, money is actually something outside of your body after all."

"Only your own cultivation is the most important."

"Once you become a master, how glorious and glorious it will be..."

"Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but it will take some time to earn it all back."

The final result, of course, was that Zhou Ziyao gritted his teeth and accepted it.

But Zhou Ziyao had no way to take out such a huge amount of money at once.

The two discussed for a while and finally decided to complete the payment in two installments.

The first payment was one thousand spiritual stones.

After successfully advancing to the Grandmaster level, the remaining one thousand spiritual stones would be paid in the second year.

Qin Shaochen seemed very reasonable. After receiving the one thousand spiritual stones, he handed the blue pill to Zhou Ziyao without saying anything.

After Zhou Ziyao opened the brocade box, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Naturally, he was very excited!

His old face was flushed with excitement!

Qin Shaochen clasped his fists and saluted, and said a few words with a smile, "I wish you success!" and so on.

Then he left Wanbao Hall with satisfaction and returned to his own courtyard.

***

In the next few days, he basically stayed in the Eighth Master's mansion and did not run around.

During the day, he practiced with the puppet of the Great Martial Master. At night, he concentrated on practicing the spiritual formula and studying the formations recorded in the jade disc.

Qin Shaochen roughly estimated that there were at least nearly fifty formations recorded in the jade disc.

From the simplest to the most complex, step by step.

The simplest is the ordinary formation.

No need to use spiritual stones or input spiritual energy.

You only need to buy a dozen of the simplest five-element stones, carve some runes on them, and throw them on the grass at the gate of the courtyard, and the perception of people who enter the formation will be disturbed.

After walking for a long time, I couldn't find the gate of the courtyard.

But the function of that kind of formation is limited. As long as the people in the formation keep running around, it is still possible to walk out of the formation inexplicably.

Qin Shaochen tried it.

He asked his servants to buy some five-element stones, carve runes, and set up a simplest maze array at the gate of the courtyard.

It actually made the servant who came to deliver food run around in the formation for almost half an hour.

In the end, it was Qin Shaochen who secretly removed the formation, and the servant regained his sanity and found the gate of the courtyard again.

After leaving the food, he ran away.

It seems that he was scared.

Qin Shaochen saw that the formation without the formation pillars had such a miraculous effect, so he was naturally more interested.

Then, he began to study the spiritual formation.

Only then did he realize that the spiritual array was not only much more complicated than the ordinary array, but also required the production of array pillars before it could be completed.

There are different types of array pillars, divided into several attributes of gold, wood, water, earth and fire.

Each type is very valuable!

At the same time, it is not enough to have array pillars alone. You also need to carve corresponding runes on the array pillars, install spirit stones, and activate the runes in order for the array pillars to work.

At this time, he finally understood why Master Ning Ling gave him such a valuable jade token as soon as he agreed to help.

It turned out that the money in the jade token was for the materials he bought when learning the array.

Not only do you need to buy a large number of array pillars, but you also need to carve runes with carving knives, special rune paper, etc., each of which requires a lot of silver.

It seems that if you don't have considerable financial resources, it is impossible to learn the array.

As the exploration deepened, Qin Shaochen's interest in the array became more and more intense.

Later, not only did he study it at night, but he also reduced the time he practiced with the great martial artist during the day and began to spend more time studying the array.

Moreover, he soon understood why Master Ning Ling said that the most important thing to learn formations is to have a strong soul.

It turned out that in the process of learning formations, not only do you have to remember hundreds or thousands of runes, but you also have to remember the different combinations of those runes.

How to match, disassemble, restrain and connect each other.

Even a small formation without a grade involves hundreds of combinations.

It is not enough to just remember them.

It is also necessary to deduce and arrange it in the mind first.

Only when it is sorted out in the mind can it be arranged in reality.

Therefore, the memory and spatial imagination required to arrange a formation are amazing.

Without a strong soul, it is indeed difficult to move forward.

Therefore, most formation masters can only master a few formations in their lifetime.

However, those difficulties are really not a big problem for Qin Shaochen.

Any text and graphics, he only needs to look at it two or three times, and he can remember it firmly.

For some more complex combination graphics, he even directly uses spiritual consciousness to scan.

The perception obtained in this way is more vivid and the memory is clearer.

After accumulating enough cognition, he began to practice.

There is no need to buy formation pillars first.

Because, in his storage bag, there are two sets of ready-made formation control panels and formation pillars.

One set is a small formation that isolates the communication talisman in the secret realm when the Wang family explores the secret realm in order to capture Qin Xiaoluo alive.

Although that formation is also a spiritual formation, it does not require the input of spiritual energy and can be driven by itself with a few spiritual stones.

There is no grade, only four formation pillars and a control plate.

It is considered the simplest spiritual formation.

After being seized by Qin Shaochen, it has been kept in his storage bag.

Now it can finally be used to a certain extent.

Another formation is the protective formation that Xiang Bao set up in the forest to surround and kill the people who came to chase him.

Once activated, it can block the enemy outside the formation light curtain.

It is difficult for ordinary enemies to attack the formation from the outside.

At the beginning, Xiang Bao locked the Wang family in the formation.

Dozens of warriors and three or four spiritualists attacked together, and it took nearly half an hour, but they could not break the tough formation light curtain.

Even if Huo Zhengtong, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was present at the time, he was powerless.

The effect is quite good!

After Qin Shaochen found the formation in Xiang Bao's soul bag, he also tried to study it.

But since his knowledge of formations was too shallow, of course he couldn’t understand anything!
