Chapter 314： Come and compare in person

Chapter 314: Test in person

Sheng Sunyi raised his head and looked at Xu Jun with a hint of inquiry and doubt in his eyes.

Xu Jun's eyes were clear and he asked knowingly: "Teacher Sheng, what's wrong with you?"

Sheng Sunyi was silent for a moment and said, "Are you sure you need these materials?"

"Of course." Xu Jun said without hesitation: "I have calculated it several times and it will not be wrong."

Sheng Sunyi opened his mouth and said slowly: "Xu Jun, many of the materials you need are third-level treasure materials."

His words were extremely cryptic, reminding Xu Jun in his own way.

If Xu Jun had some insights this time and wanted to set up a second-level psychedelic array, then using third-level treasure materials would be a waste.

Although the Immortal Alliance is large and the Dao Palace has astonishing financial resources, it is impossible to be so extravagant as to use third-level treasure materials to deploy second-level formations.

The value of the treasures of the Immortal Family is vastly different at each level.

A rich man in the Qi training period, even if he loses everything, still can't get enough resources for an Immortal Chaoyuan Pill.

Of course, using Changsheng Chaoyuan Dan as an example is a bit too extreme. But in a word, the landlord's family has no surplus food. It is impossible for the Taoist Palace to let Xu Jun use third-level treasure materials to set up a second-level formation.

Xu Jun blinked twice and said with a smile: "Teacher Sheng, of course I know these are third-level treasure materials." He paused and said: "If they were not third-level treasure materials, they would definitely not be able to set up the formation. "

Sheng Sunyi looked solemn and said, "You mean... what you want to set up is a third-order psychedelic array?"

"yes."

Level three!

Although Sheng Sunyi had a premonition, he still felt a little dizzy when he got the accurate answer from Xu Jun.

He had known for a long time that Xu Jun was a genius in formation.

Xu Jun knew this from the moment he came into contact with the formation and successfully broke through it on the first day.

However, no matter how talented Xu Jun is, his cultivation speed is still too scary!

He remembered that Xu Jun first came into contact with the Formation Dao, which was just a year ago.

What is the way of formation?

Among the various arts of cultivating immortals, the way of talismans is the foundation of all immortal arts.

Then, the way of formation is definitely recognized as the first of a hundred arts, and it is the most difficult skill to master among the immortal arts.

Every high-level formation mage is a treasure of the Immortal Alliance, especially those of level four and above. No matter where they go, they will receive unparalleled respect.

Because compared to high-level alchemy and weapon refiners, the number of formation mages of the same level is even rarer.

As far as the Immortal Alliance is concerned, the number of fourth-level formation mages, even if they include all Jindan Zhenren, is only two palms at most.

There are countless monks in the Shui Yuan Star Three Dao Palace, but there is only one fourth-level formation mage left in the Seven Star Dao Palace.

As for the fifth-level array mage...

That's even more rare.

The biggest reason for this is that it is too difficult for an array master to be promoted.

At the first and second levels, there is not much difference in the number of formation masters, alchemists, and weapon refiners. But once it reaches the third level, the number of formation mages drops off a cliff, and it becomes even more so when it reaches the fourth level.

And every third-level formation mage is a genius who has been addicted to this method for decades, hundreds, or even hundreds of years.

That's right, even if an old Jindan who has lived for three or four hundred years can one day become a third-level formation mage, he can still be called a genius.

But how much time did Xu Jun spend learning the formation?

Sheng Sunyi took a deep breath and looked at Xu Jun intently. After a while, he said: "Okay, I will prepare the materials for you. As for the location of the formation... I will inform you after I make arrangements."

Xu Jun nodded repeatedly and agreed wholeheartedly.

Sheng Sunyi turned around and left. He was afraid that if he walked too slowly, he would be unable to control the expression on his face.

As for Xu Jun, he returned to the cave and once again recalled Xu Jun's formation experience in kendo.

Formation is the most talented thing that tests people.

If you can understand it, then you can really understand it. But if you bump into something somewhere, you may be entangled in it and you may not be able to get out for the rest of your life.

This is the formation path.

However, if you get past this neck, the future is bright.

Xu Jun has sufficient confidence in himself.

…

…

Sheng Sun spread his wings and quickly arrived at the administrative building.

He silently knocked on the door of the executive vice president's office.

"Fellow Daoist Sheng, please come in."

Sheng Sunyi pushed open the door and walked in. The tall man who was dealing with official business raised his head, nodded towards him and said, "Fellow Taoist Sheng, please have tea."

After a while, the fragrant tea was placed on the table, and even the puppet took the initiative to sit on the sofa.

Facing Master Jin Dan, who is also the main teacher of Dao Palace Formation, even Ye Wanqing must show enough respect.

Sheng Sunyi took a sip of tea and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I came here today because I want to discuss something with you."

The puppet waved his hand and said, "Friend Daoist Sheng, let me make a guess first. Is what you are talking about related to Daozi?"

"Exactly." Sheng Sunyi took a deep look at him and said, "It seems that fellow Taoist has already prepared."

The puppet sighed. Although it was just a puppet, its expression at this moment was somewhat vivid, almost the same as a real person.

"Fellow Daoist Sheng, I know you want to consult Daozi about cultivating talismans. Hey, to be honest, when I first heard about this, I didn't take it seriously and felt that Daozi should not be distracted anymore." The puppet said leisurely: "But, You must have heard that Daozi drew five exquisite talismans with their own charm in just one month."

Sheng Sunyi nodded numbly and said, "I've heard of it."

"Yes, that is a high-quality talisman with its own charm. Daozi's talent in the way of talismans is simply unprecedented." The puppet spread his hands and said: "Tell me, how should I persuade you to get it?" What about Taozi giving up the way of talismans?"

Sheng Sunyi bared his teeth a little. Although he was not a master of fulu, he was no stranger to fulu.

In fact, if you want to achieve success in the cultivation of immortality and various arts, the talisman cannot be bypassed no matter what.

You don’t have to learn the art of talismans, but at least you should have some understanding of it. Because the way of talismans is the foundation of all immortal arts.

Therefore, Sheng Sunyi knew very well what it meant to draw exquisite talismans with charm within a month.

It can be said that Xu Jun's talent in the way of talismans is simply visible to the naked eye.

If he continues to draw, then it is certain that he will be a third-level master in the future, and even a fourth-level master will have great potential.

Of course, whether one can be promoted to the fifth level Grand Master is a matter of five to five.

But even this number of five to five is worthy of Dao Palace's efforts to cultivate.

If you ask him to give up such a talent, you can't say it out loud anyway.

However, Sheng Sunyi came prepared. He coughed lightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, there is something you may not know."

"Oh, please speak."

"Do you know why Daozi suddenly became interested in the way of talismans?"

The puppet hesitated and said, "Why?"

"Actually, Daozi does not want to modify the way of talismans, but just wants to use the way of talismans to understand the way of formations by analogy." Sheng Sunyi said seriously.

The puppet's artificial eyes looked a little dull.

At this moment, Sheng Sunyi even saw a look of deep suspicion on the face of this puppet.

In fact, Ye Wanqing was really dumbfounded at this time.

Sheng Sunyi, Sheng Sunyi, the person sitting in front of you is a puppet, not an idiot!

It is understandable that you are reluctant to let Xu Jun give up the way of formation. However, you use such an excuse... If you are not afraid of Tan Liutong from the Fu Lu Branch, aren't you afraid that the principal will come forward and slap you to death?

Sheng Sunyi chuckled. He also knew that this sentence was unfounded and no one would believe it.

He raised his hand and sent a copy of the material to Ye Wanqing, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ye, please take a look."

The puppet looked at it ten lines at a time, then continued to raise its head, its artificial eyes looking questioning.

"I just met Daozi, and these words were spoken by Daozi to me personally." Sheng Sunyi's expression was extremely solemn and he said: "Daozi also said that after studying the talisman, he had a new understanding of the Tao. Therefore, his real focus is still on the formation."

"Really?" the puppet asked in a deep voice.

"Of course it's true." Sheng Sunyi said confidently.

However, there was some drumming in his heart.

Is this what Xu Jun means? Yes, that must be the case!

The puppet's eyes swept over these materials again and said: "Fellow Daoist Sheng, these are..."

"Daozi wants to use these formation flags to set up a new formation." Sheng Sunyi said solemnly: "I will prepare the materials and deduct everything from my points. However, I need to apply for a mountain."

The puppet's artificial eyes flashed sharply.

At this point, if Ye Wanqing still doesn't know what Sheng Sunyi wants to express, he is not worthy of being the executive vice principal.

"Fellow Daoist Sheng, these materials... contain third-level treasures. Moreover, a mountain is needed to set up the formation. Could it be... a third-level formation?" the puppet said word by word.

Sheng Sunyi said proudly: "Yes, it is the third-level formation."

Although Xu Jun had not promised the third-level formation, in this situation, Sheng Sunyi would never let it slip.

Therefore, it must be a third-order formation.

"If I remember correctly, Daozi only studied formations for one year, right?"

"Yes, a little more than a year."

"A little more than a year, third level..." The puppet's voice deepened, and it was obvious that Ye Wanqing was severely shaken.

Sheng Sunyi smiled. He was shocked at first, so he left quickly, otherwise he might not be able to control the expression on his face.

But now, seeing the appearance of the puppet, he felt quite happy, but also had a trace of regret.

Hey, why did I come to see this puppet? You should have gone directly to the back mountain to find Ye Wanqing himself. After a while, the puppet finally said: "Okay, I will arrange the location, and you prepare the materials. I will personally witness it in three days."

Sheng Sunyi nodded vigorously.

…

…

In the blink of an eye, three days flew by.

The place where Rainbow City is located is a plain area.

However, hundreds of miles away, there are also stretches of mountains. Within these mountains are artificially isolated spiritual power zones that ordinary people are not allowed to penetrate.

At this time, on a certain mountaintop in the mountain range, several top teachers from the Natural Dao Palace had already gathered.

In addition to Ye Wanqing, Guan Ziqian, Zhongli Zhili, Zhao Qiong, Sang Yujun, Tan Liutong, etc., each of them is a well-known backbone figure in the Taoist palace.

Even Tan Liutong, the only foundation-building monk, is in charge of a discipline in the Tao Palace and has the status of a third-level talisman master.

In terms of force value, they are naturally unable to compare with these Jindan Daoists. However, in the Taoist palace, even Guan Ziqian and others had to give him some face.

At this time, although the few of them were not talking to each other, their spiritual consciousness was flying in the sky, but they each had their own plans.

Zhongli Zhili laughed and said: "Fellow Taoist Tan, you don't have to worry, it should be yours, it must be yours."

Tan Liutong sighed and said: "Dean Zhongli, you said that our Fulu Department finally got a great genius, but Senior Sheng just refused to let it go. This, this, this kind of bullying with a gun... Oh! "

He glanced at Ye Wanqing and stopped talking.

Zhongli Zhili's heart moved slightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Tan, are you saying that you are not optimistic about Daozi's ability to lay out the third-order formation?"

Tan Liutong smiled bitterly and said: "Dean Zhongli, Daozi has only been learning formations for a year. Moreover, a year ago, Daozi was a qi-training monk. Tell me, in one year, he can master the third-level formations. "?"

Zhongli opened his mouth with all his strength. He really wanted to say something, but it was absolutely impossible.

However, when I thought about it again, this person was Xu Jun, I was a little shaken.

"Yes or no, we will naturally know after he sets up the formation." Guan Ziqian said coldly.

Tan Liutong nodded and said: "Dean Guan is right." He suddenly took a step back, bowed to everyone, and said: "Please bear witness, dean, if Senior Sheng has any favoritism, please Deal with it fairly.”

After listening to his words, everyone knew that Tan Liutong thought that it was absolutely impossible for Xu Jun to arrange a third-level formation.

However, if Sheng Sunyi was secretly making suggestions and deceiving Xu Jun, it would really be possible for him to get away with it.

Moreover, even if Tan Liutong found a flaw, there was too big a difference between foundation building and golden elixir, and he would be powerless. Therefore, he could only turn to the people present for help.

Guan Ziqian and others looked at each other, and Ye Wanqing said helplessly: "Teacher Tan, don't worry, we will not do anything for personal gain here."

Tan Liutong was only half relieved.

The distant wind flashed, and two figures flew towards them. The leader was none other than Sheng Sunyi from the Formation Department, and behind him was the elegant Xu Jun.

Xu Jun noticed the people here from a distance and was a little surprised.

He originally thought that it was just a small third-order formation that could only be watched by Principal Ye and Sheng Sunyi at most.

At worst, adding another Teacher Tan would be the limit. But he didn't expect that these Jindan masters he knew would all be present.

He couldn't help but wonder, are these Jindan Masters so free?

Taking a step forward, Xu Jun saluted everyone.

"I've met all the teachers."

Everyone nodded, now that Xu Jun has the status of a Taoist scholar, even they would look at him differently.

"Daozi, the materials are here. The location is the mountain in front. You can set up the formation." Ye Wanqing knew that now was not the time for an argument. He cut through the mess quickly and said: "Is one day enough?"

If a third-level formation was to be laid out from scratch, it would be possible even in a year, not to mention a day.

However, Sheng Sunyi had already refined all the materials into the formation flag. This mountain peak was also carefully selected by Ye Wanqing. The spiritual veins in the mountain appeared, making it the best place to set up the formation.

Therefore, a true third-level formation mage can quickly set up formations.

Ye Wanqing gave him one day, which was definitely more than enough time for a true third-level formation master.

Xu Jun turned his head, looked at the trend of the mountains, and said, "Students are willing to give it a try."

After saying that, he unfolded his body and walked forward alone.

At this time, he let go of all his consciousness, with him as the center, and within a radius of ten miles, he could see everything and every detail.

As his eyes moved, the movement of the mountains and the fluctuations of spiritual power were all in his heart.

Ordinary people will only be attracted by the scenery here when they see this scene. When cultivators see this scene, they will only feel that it has strong spiritual power and is a great holy place for cultivation.

However, in the eyes of the formation master, this world is different.

Under the bright light of the sword's heart, Xu Jun sensed hundreds of spiritual power nodes, which were irregularly distributed within a ten-mile radius.

Nodes also vary in size. Some nodes are completely fixed, but some nodes are moving slowly.

With the flow of wind, water, and spiritual power, the corresponding nodes are also changing at any time.

If it is to break the formation, then just sense the formation flag or treasure on the node, and then analyze the direction of the flow of spiritual power to find the source.

Because ordinary people cannot sense where the spiritual power nodes are, it is much more difficult to break the formation than to set it up.

However, for Xu Jun who can sense spiritual power nodes, or for high-level immortal cultivators, it is really not difficult to crack low-level formations.

However, the formation is different.

If you don't have enough knowledge and foundation, even if you can sense the existence of spiritual power nodes, you will still be helpless.

Because you simply cannot use these spiritual power nodes, you naturally cannot bring together the spiritual power in the entire area and circulate it according to your wishes.

However, while Xu Jun was silently observing, he was also keeping the mountain topography in mind.

He flashed and moved quickly.

He let go of his spiritual consciousness and gradually took the entire mountain into his heart. As a result, a grand and huge array gradually took shape in my mind.

On the hilltop in the distance, everyone was silent as they watched Xu Jun's movements.

Suddenly, Zhao Qiong said: "Fellow Daoist Sheng, do you think Daozi can successfully set up the formation?"

Sheng Sunyi was startled, and he opened his mouth. He originally wanted to support Xu Jun, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but hesitate when he saw the serious look on Zhao Qiong's face.

After a while, Sheng Sunyi finally smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know."

"Oh, but I think fellow Taoist Sheng is very confident."

Sheng Sunyi shook his head slightly and said: "From Daozi's tone, he is indeed confident. However, Daozi's training time... is really too short."

Everyone nodded. They were all old men in the cultivation world. Naturally, they knew that a mere year was nothing to mention to the formation master.

Most of the monks who come into contact with formations cannot even understand the basics of formations in the first year.

Such people, let alone the third-level formation, cannot even arrange an inferior formation.

Although Xu Jun has shown unparalleled potential and talent in the formation method before. But most of them came by breaking the formation. As for setting up the formation...

Seo Jun really doesn't have any impressive record.

Zhao Qiong chuckled and said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Sheng, what is the record for the fastest promotion to a third-level array mage in the history of our Immortal Alliance?"

Sheng Sunyi was startled, thought for a moment, and said: "Three thousand years ago, a formation genius emerged from the Seven Star Dao Palace of Tianyuan Star. In just twelve years, he mastered the third level of the foundation building system. Formation, thus advancing to the third level. Oh, what a pity.”

Zhao Qiong raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that his reputation was too great, so he was targeted by the demons, and he had an accident while participating in a battle in another world."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they cursed in unison.

Damn demons!

If that array genius had not died, he would definitely be qualified to become one of the powerful men of the Immortal Alliance when he grew up.

However, death is death and obscurity. Only immortal cultivators who also practice the formation would occasionally mention it and use it to warn the next generation.

Zhong Li tried his best to say in a deep voice: "If Daozi can successfully set up the formation, he will definitely become famous all over the world. We must make preparations in advance."

However, Guan Zi Qian glanced at him and said, "No need."

"What?"

"Daozi has already become famous, and it doesn't matter whether he can successfully set up the formation or not."

"Everyone was startled at first, and then they all laughed dumbly.

Guan Ziqian said again: "Our natural Daozi is different from the formation master who has no power to bind a chicken. Even if the demons come, Daozi can kill them with one sword."

Sheng Sunyi squinted his eyes at Guan Ziqian.

Have our array masters offended you?

What does it mean to be powerless...

However, looking at the calm Guan Qian, Sheng Sunyi thought carefully for a moment and did not dare to make an attack.

Suddenly, Tan Liutong said: "That's not right."

Sheng Sunyi frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong?"

He was indeed afraid of Guan Ziqian, but he was not afraid of Tan Liutong. If this guy wanted to compete with him for Xu Jun's teaching rights, he would definitely fight to the end.

However, Tan Liutong said leisurely: "Five years."

"What five years?" Sheng Sunyi asked suspiciously.

Tan Liutong said slowly: "The third-level formation master, the third-level talisman master, the third-level alchemy master, and the third-level weapon refining master. There is one person who has mastered them all in just five years."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Tan Liutong in disbelief.

Is this guy crazy?

How dare he mention this taboo...
