Journey to the head

Chapter 41 Array Base Array Diagram
This time, even Xuan Jizi realized the benefits of hiring Lin Le.

He often brings monks to spend money in the shops here, so he is quite familiar with many shopkeepers.After listening to Xuanjizi's request, the young man patted his chest and was sure that he would be able to find a store that would satisfy him.

Under the introduction of Lin Le, and under the guise of reforging the Vermilion Bird Seal, Lu Qian discussed it in detail with each shopkeeper.

From the raw materials for refining, to refining, storage, transportation, and sales, one by one, Lu Qian, a layman in the refining industry, also had a basic understanding of the entire process and business model.

Finally, after Lin Le's introduction, a weapon-refining workshop relented and was willing to offer a discount and customize a Vermillion Bird Seal for the price of [-] spiritual stones.

The weapon refiner said this: "The raw material of your formation base is a whole piece of fire marrow jade, which is worth a lot of money. Besides, this formation base and the formation map are all refined in a complete set. Now one formation base is damaged." Basically, if I want to make up for it and re-assemble it later, it will be no less difficult than refining a new set. I also have to ask a colleague who knows the Five Elements Formation to help with the details, which is also an expense."

Xuan Jizi was very unhappy: "I am the formation cultivator. If you want to know more about it, can't you just ask me directly?"

The weapon refiner hurriedly said: "No, no, you don't know how to refine weapons. It's useless to just know the principles of the formation. The price is already very reasonable. I'm going to rush you. You have to leave the formation diagram and other formation bases behind." I'll be here for five days, and it will be refined in five days. You can just come and pick it up."

At the thought of leaving such a precious formation base here, Xuanjizi was extremely reluctant.But there was no other choice but to sign the agreement and pay a deposit of six hundred spirit stones.

"Boy Lu, I lost all my coffins here." Xuanjizi was about to cry but had no tears. "When the Ningzhou Xianyou Sect returns Li Zhenru's remains, do you know that you must ask for more spiritual stones?"

Lu Gan ignored him. It would cost [-] spirit stones to rebuild a formation base. How many spirit stones were the remaining four formation bases and formation diagrams worth?
However, he did not regret giving all these to Xuan Jizi. As long as he could learn the formation, what did a few possessions mean?
Seeing that the matter was done, Lu Gan asked: "So, to refine the base formation diagram, you need to understand both the formation method and the weapon refining?"

The weapon refiner nodded and pointed to a small building not far ahead: "Did you see it there? Bao Zhen Pavilion. There is the largest formation store in the entire Fourth Square District. You can go and have a look."

Lu Gan thanked the weapon refiner and walked to the Baozhen Pavilion with everyone.

Xuanjizi gritted his teeth and said, "This is the store. I thought it was the most suitable store to specialize in formations. This was the store I entered for the first time, but he actually quoted two thousand five hundred spirit stones! It's really outrageous. ."

The store looked unremarkable from the outside, but as soon as he entered the store, Lu Qian noticed something extraordinary.

The several clerks in this shop are all monks, and they are all monks above the middle stage of Qi training.This is completely different from other stores that widely employ mortal clerks.

The space in the store is very large, and sets of formation bases and formation diagrams with flashing spiritual lights are displayed in the glass cabinets, which makes several people feel overwhelmed.

There were no other customers in the store at this time.An enthusiastic shop assistant came up to greet him: "Fellow Taoist, what formation do you want to see? If you are a formation cultivator, we have four categories of formation diagrams: Three Talents, Four Elephants, Five Elements, and Six Integration. If you want to Just buy it and use it directly. We have a special formation cultivator to record the changes in the formation for you. As soon as you put it into the spiritual veins, it will automatically operate. It is really a good product to protect the sect and cover the station..."

At this moment, he saw Xuan Jizi behind Lu Gan and immediately smiled and said: "Oh, it turns out to be this fellow Taoist. What, you changed your mind and plan to go back to our shop to recast the formation base?"

Xuanjizi had an old face: "A black-hearted shop! It's so expensive, my coffin isn't even big enough, so whoever comes here will be taken advantage of!"

The clerk was not annoyed and still smiled: "You are wrong to say that, fellow Taoist, you get what you pay for. Our store is professional in casting array diagrams and bases. We have nine contracted array casters and array repairmen. Seventeen, I guarantee that it will be cast to you perfectly, just like new."

Lu Gan coughed lightly and interrupted his promotion: "We will discuss the recasting later. I want to buy a set of array diagrams. What are the five element arrays here?" The clerk led him to a glass display cabinet: "Fellow Taoist, please take a look. According to the level, there are mid-level magic weapon level, high-level magic weapon level. There are also spiritual weapon level and even magic weapon level upstairs, but Taoist friends can't use them yet."

"Based on the material of the array base diagram, we also carefully designed the array base shape. Fellow Taoist, take a look, there are token type, command flag type, flying sword type, seal button type, chess piece type..."

"It's all fancy." Xuan Jizi said dissatisfiedly, "What does the operation of the formation have to do with the shape of the formation base? They are all just things to fool the layman! The mystery of the formation lies entirely in the formation cultivator."

Lu Gan glanced at it and saw that there was a price tag hanging next to each formation.

The Five Elements Formation, a set of mid-level magic weapon-level formation diagrams, has a price tag of four thousand to five thousand spirit stones.

As for a set of high-end magic weapons, the price tag is as high as [-] to [-], which is really daunting.

Is it the Formation Master who created these formation diagrams?You need to know both weapon refining and formation techniques.The price is so high, how much profit can the formation master make?

"There is a dazzling array of products, all of which are fine products." Lu Qian observed the array diagrams and pretended to admire them, "Are all the array diagrams in this store made by your store's masters?"

The clerk nodded proudly: "That's right. Looking at the entire Cangzhou, my family is the only one with such strength."

"Your store is really large." Lu Qian said seemingly casually, "It's expensive to support an array master. In my hometown of Fang City, every time a set of array patterns is built, the array master must be paid. The teacher has a thousand spiritual stones."

The clerk was puzzled: "The model in my hometown is a bit rare. In Cangzhou, formation builders are paid in the form of commission."

Lu Qian said a few more words and learned that each formation caster had different commissions based on their level, so he excused himself to think about it and walked out of the store with a few people.

As soon as he went out, Xuanjizi winked and said, "How about it, Mr. Lu, can't you afford it?"

"It is indeed a bit expensive." Lu Gan smiled, "It turns out that you are the richest among us."

"The prices here are a bit exaggerated, but even in a cheap store, a set of mid-level magic weapon-level Five Elements Formation will always cost more than 4000 spirit stones. The main reason is that the array materials are rare and the complete set of refining is expensive. It's not easy to get on." Xuan Jizi was a little proud. He suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then changed the topic, "Brother Lu, please become my disciple. I will give you the formation diagram of this set of command flags."

Lu Gan and Jiang Qingfeng were both stunned and stopped.

Xuanjizi looked directly into Lu Gan's eyes, with a very serious look on his face: "Why do you insist on not becoming a disciple? You and Qingfeng girl have always been hiding something from me, right? Even now, you still refuse to tell me?"
