The Wonderful Way

Chapter 49 Practice Formation (Add more)
For three whole days, Chu Miao cultivated steadily in the cave, and finally, after three days, she felt that the spiritual breath in her body was strong, and it was no longer erratic like just entering the stage.

Counting the time with her fingers, this retreat took nearly eight days, and Chu Miao realized the wonder of the ethereal realm even more.

Entering the ethereal realm this time was longer than the last time in the Fragmented Light Forest, and it was of great help to Chu Miao's cultivation and spiritual power.

At this time, Chu Miao's figure was slender and straight, her whole body exudes agility, and her skin was like an egg that had been peeled off its shell, still glowing softly in the sun.

After opening the cave formation, Chu Miao stood in the spiritual field outside the cave, breathing fresh spiritual energy, and felt her body became lighter.

The spiritual field in front of the cave was empty, and it had always been used by Chu Miao as a place to practice sword techniques and formations.

Chu Miao has no interest in planting elixir and alchemy. In her previous life, she was a firewood spirit root, and she had never learned alchemy for a day.

Be cautious about taking the pills, after all, the aura in the pills is medicinal power and not pure, it is better to absorb and purify the truth yourself.

What's more, relying on pills to advance will only block the meridians, and it will be more difficult to advance to a large realm. At that time, higher-level pills will be needed to attack, forming a vicious circle.

Since she started practicing in this life, Chu Miao has never taken a pill to help her advance.

Even when fighting martial arts, he pays great attention to the control of his spiritual power, tries not to take the spirit-replenishing pill, and even if he suffers a slight injury, he meditates to recover by himself.

The only time she needed to take the elixir was when she was seriously injured. With such attention to control, Chu Miao's meridians are now more tenacious and smooth, and her spiritual power is more pure.

Chu Miao followed her breath on the spiritual field, then took out the simple machete from the storage bag, poured spiritual power into the knife, and only heard a humming sound.

First practice the basic saber technique over and over again, and then practice the Golden Crow saber technique from beginning to end without using spiritual power.

The Golden Crow is the son of the sun, and it uses this saber technique to attack with fire attributes.

Chu Miao had to reach the foundation building stage before she could learn the thunder-type kung fu. At this time, she could only convert the spiritual power in her body into the fire-type, and then wield it with the saber technique, in order to truly exert the strongest power of the Golden Crow saber technique.

Chu Miao, as an excellent disciple in the inner sect, and the only Thunder Spirit Root in the sect, coupled with the care of Tian Jizi, there is no need to worry about the cultivation technique at all after the foundation is established.

The exercise chosen when building the foundation is the most important exercise in a monk's life. A high-level exercise can be cultivated from foundation building to deification.

The so-called foundation building, as the name suggests, is to lay the foundation. The nine-story high platform begins with the foundation of the soil, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Building the foundation is the first step for a monk to enter the road of cultivation.

Refining Qi is just to continuously improve the body and meridians with spiritual power, so that the meridians of the physical body are stronger than mortals, but the lifespan is still not out of mortals.

Once the foundation is established, it will have a lifespan of 300 years. It will completely break away from the mortal roots and become a cultivator of immortals. The cultivation after the foundation is established is the most important first step in a monk's life.

When building the foundation, if the foundation is solid and the spiritual power is pure and thick, it will be of great help when forming alchemy or even turning the nascent soul into a god.

If you blindly try to be fast, have a flimsy foundation, or rely too much on pills, making your spiritual power mottled and impure, you may not be able to reach a higher level.

Even at the advanced level, the strength will not be as good as that of a monk with a solid foundation, and it is easy to die due to lack of spiritual power during a martial arts battle.

After practicing the Golden Crow Saber Technique a few times, Chu Miao put away the magic weapon. This sword technique has been practiced to the extreme by her, and there will be no further benefit.

The Golden Crow Saber Technique was also promoted by the Jade Slips in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, but with Chu Miao's comprehension at the Golden Core Stage, it was easy to achieve great success.

The saber technique didn't benefit much before the foundation was established, so Chu Miao began to study the formation technique.

She has thoroughly understood the first-order Jiugong formation, and now she can look at the second-order eight-diagram formation.

The Jiugong formation is arranged according to the position of the Jiugong, and the Bagua formation is arranged according to the Siyang hexagrams of Qianzhen, Kangen, and Siyin hexagrams of Kunxun Lidui.

Dryness is the sky, kun is the earth, earthquake is thunder, sunda is wind, ridge is water, distance is fire, gen is mountain, and dui is marsh.

These eight kinds of substances are the basis for all things to derive. Among them, the universe is the mother of all things, water and fire are the source of all things, wind and thunder are agitated by them, mountains and marshes are also formed, and life is also conceived.

The Eight Diagrams Formation utilizes its natural power, takes the ground as the base, and uses the sign of the array as the guide to achieve the effect of forming the formation.

The power of the eight trigrams formation is much greater than that of the nine palaces formation, and the various formations are also much more complicated, and the deployment of the combined formation is even more difficult.

Chu Miao can only calculate some of the simplest gossip formations at this time, and can only stay at the theoretical stage, and cannot practice, otherwise her consciousness will be damaged.

Although the monks in the early stage of foundation establishment were able to deploy the second-order gossip formation, they could only deploy the simple and basic formations.

If it is necessary to form a combination formation, with the consciousness and spiritual power at the early stage of foundation establishment, it is impossible to combine two or more eight trigrams formations.

At the beginning of Foundation Establishment, only the first and second ranks could be combined to form the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation. If a monk is proficient in this method, the power of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation cannot be underestimated.

Among each level of formations, the easiest to deploy are maze formations, soundproof formations, defensive formations, etc. As for illusion formations, trap formations, killing formations and other attack formations, they are the most difficult to deploy and break.

Not to mention the combination formation, each monk has different means of formation and different thinking, and the eyes of the formation will never be in the same place waiting for someone to break.

The monks who learn the way of formation are divided into apprentices of formation, master of formation, master of formation, master of formation and Taoism of formation.

The formation apprentice can break through the first and second formations, the formation master can break the third and fourth formations, the formation master can break the fifth and sixth formations, and the formation master can break the seventh and eighth formations , the array Taoist can break the ninth-order formation.

Formation Grandmaster and Formation Daoist are just legends, because in the lower realms, there are at most only monks in the transformation stage.

In other words, the highest attainment in formation in this world is only at the level of a formation master, and there are only two or three formation masters in the entire Nanfeng Continent.

Formation is something that every monk will come into contact with, and few monks don't understand formation at all.

Because whether it is fighting or exploring, you will encounter all kinds of formations. Even if you only have a little foundation, it is better than breaking the formation with brute force.

What's more, basic formations such as sound insulation, dust prevention, warning, and defense are needed in life, so every monk will learn a little bit no matter whether he is interested or not.

In her previous life, Chu Miao hated formations as a waste of her brain, so she was lazy all the time. She only learned some basic things at the beginning, and at the alchemy stage, she only knew second-order formations.

In this life, the choice of formation to learn is also after careful consideration.

As Lei Lingen, she doesn't need to worry about the power of fighting skills, as long as she works hard to practice the sword technique and polish the spiritual power of the meridians in her body, although it can't be said that she can kill the enemy at a higher level, but there will still be few opponents in the same level.

As for defense, she has a dream-like protective spirit hairpin. This hairpin is a middle-level spiritual weapon, and it can be used until the Nascent Soul is perfect.

Although it is not possible to sacrifice spirit weapons until the Nascent Soul stage, and the effect it exerts is only the instinct of the spirit hairpin, but it is completely enough for low-level monks.

But whether it was attack or defense, Chu Miao felt that it was too simple.

If you can learn the formation well, you will be able to refine the natal magic weapon into nine-handled knives in the future, which can be combined and separated, and then you can use the knives to form an formation. With your own thunder root, it will be extremely powerful in both attack and defense.

What's more, every monk will choose a favorite miscellaneous science, some alchemy, some refining tools, some learning formations, some making talismans, and some partial ones such as beast control, spiritual planting, spiritual meal making, brewing, etc. Spirit wine and so on.

Chu Miao feels that these can't be called miscellaneous studies, because each has its own way, and it's not like no one can ascend with these different ways.

It's just that most of the monks still focus on practicing exercises, so they regard these auxiliary methods as miscellaneous studies.

Especially the sword cultivator, who only cultivated one sword in his life, and made the sword of his life from the foundation establishment, nourishing the sword with his body and spirit.

Apart from practicing swords and meditating, sword repairers will never learn any miscellaneous knowledge to assist in fighting or defense.

Due to the limitations of her spiritual roots and her own thinking, Chu Miao chose to learn formations as an aid.

Alchemy refining equipment needs fire spirit roots, talisman making requires at least two kinds of spirit roots, spirit plants, spirit food, spirit wine, etc. all need wood spirit roots with high affinity.

As for the imperial beast, Chu Miao felt enough thinking about it, she was not very fond of dealing with spirit beasts.

While calculating the second-order labyrinth in her mind, Chu Miao thought about how to set up and break the formation if she were herself, and soon spent a whole day in the cave.
