After hearing this, some people in the crowd couldn't help but answer.
"You said the formation eye is so important, so how to hide the formation eye should be worth more than the formation pattern, right?"
The doubts of the surrounding diners are also justified.
This person said that the formation eye is so important. If the formation eye is not well hidden, the formation can be broken and unlocked in one go.
Then whatever formation patterns we made before, wouldn't it mean that all the previous efforts were wasted and all in vain?
Hearing this, the man next to him smiled.
"I have not overestimated the role of the Formation Eye.
It's just that when facing monsters, those beasts don't have the ability to distinguish the formation eyes.
Therefore, as long as a formation mage has enough attainments in formation patterns, it has practical significance.
There is no need to worry about the formation being easily destroyed. ”
This explanation made sense, and the surrounding diners were convinced after hearing this.
Most of the time, formations are used against monsters.
The formation eye is not well hidden, but it is only limited when blocking people.
When dealing with monsters, the problem is ignored.
How can those beasts be so smart?
Even if the heavenly demon is as intelligent as anyone else, it is not that easy to understand this formation.
They can't even fully understand human language, so what can they do?
In fact, even if we don’t talk about them, there are many people in this world who don’t understand the formation at all.
Su Chen sat aside and listened, and the man continued talking.
Su Chen learned all about the formation method from the secret book left by Immortal Jingbo.
What the person in front of me said was very different from what I had learned.
Especially some concepts seem to be quite different from the guidance of Jingbo Immortal.
Especially regarding the views on the formation patterns, Immortal Jingbo seeks ways to stack them.
In other words, the formation patterns advocated by Immortal Jingbo are stacked layer by layer.
Su Chen also gradually understood this after reading it carefully.
This formation pattern will give the formation a gradient.
After the hostile target is involved, the target will be given a gradient to fight back.
One blow fell, and the other hit again.
As for the formation masters here, their ideas are completely different.
They requested that the formation pattern be drawn in one go without interruption.
Under this concept, the response of the formation will be interrupted.
But every formation reaction will be the most violent feedback.
Su Chen just listened and didn't fully believe it.
After all, it was just a casual conversation among the diners. Whether this is the case depends on the authoritative formation master.
After eating some food, Su Chen walked around Pishic City.
Pishocheng has been really lively recently.
It is no longer inferior to Yangchun City during the Spring Festival.
Also, there are many young people coming here.
Come for assessment, come to try your luck, come for guidance.
There are more young people than in many places.
Here, Su Chen saw the palace of the Alliance.
The central location of Jin's alliance is here.
Compared with the formation-related elements everywhere in Pishik City, there are no formations arranged near the formation alliance's palace.
Coming and going, people came in from time to time, and people came out from the courtyard from time to time.
From the look of them, it looked like they were going to give gifts.
Don't know what it means either.
After leaving the Alliance Mansion, Su Chen continued to wander around.
In the city, you can meet people explaining formations everywhere.
The atmosphere for studying other martial arts techniques is completely different.
Here, the formation masters are really not afraid of others learning their methods.
On the contrary, I hope that more young people will enter the formation method.
Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer successor formation masters.
Of course, although there is this hope, they will not let those disciples who are not capable be their successors.
While wandering around, Su Chen inquired about the next process.
The day after tomorrow is the assessment of the ninth-grade formation mage.
If you want to be evaluated and recognized by the alliance, you can take part in this assessment.
After the ninth level, there are the eighth level, the seventh level, and the sixth level.
The assessment and evaluation of the formation master is only done once a year.
Formation mages of all levels were also evaluated during this period.
Su Chen actually didn't have a clear understanding of his own formation strength.
From my own experience, it's a slight success.
But in the rating, Su Chen was really a little unsure, not sure what level he was considered to be.
When I saw that there was an assessment and evaluation for the ninth grade, I simply went to take part in the test.
Listening to the people around him, it seems that he can pass the assessment and become a formation master recognized by the formation alliance.
There are a ton of benefits to be gained from it.
Among them, Su Chen feels that the biggest benefit should be connections.
Becoming a formation master recognized by the formation alliance is one of their own for the formation alliance.
There are many opportunities to make friends with top array masters.
Some major events in Jin State or major formation projects will also be taken into consideration.
After signing up, Su Chen was waiting here.
During the two days of waiting, Su Chen walked around Pishic City.
In fact, there are also some tea shops here where everyone can chat about new things.
The tea shops that Su Chen went to before were specially arranged to attract people who had just come to Pishi City.
When this period of excitement subsides, there won't be so many people talking about formations in Pishic City.
The affairs of spiritual practice are always boring.
The people of Pishi City have the ability to talk about formations all year round. With this kind of perseverance, I feel like they can try to become an formation master.
Most people cannot bear to practice this path.
Boring, boring, frustrating.
There are a few people who can persevere despite practicing for months and years without making any progress.
Even if many people give them a chance, they will not embark on the path of spiritual practice.
Su Chen listened to their chat and got to know a few of the more famous formation masters in the formation alliance.
The most discussed one is the leader of the formation alliance, Luo Feihou.
Many of the core members of the Formation Alliance are casual cultivators with no sect power behind them.
Among the major sects in the Jin Kingdom, they probably don't want the formation master of a certain sect to control the formation alliance.
No matter which sect is in power, there will be big problems.
Of course, the person who finally controls the alliance must have no power behind him.
Those formation mages with backgrounds are good friends with the top leaders of the formation alliance.
Resting, two days passed.
Today is the evaluation and assessment of the ninth-grade array mage.
Su Chen's current appearance is also disguised, and he uses a pseudonym, Su Xing.
The assessment site for the ninth-level formation mage is just north of Pishic City.
Su Chen came a little early, but it didn't seem too lively here.
There was no audience for today's assessment and evaluation of the Ninth Grade Formation Master.
Some ordinary people from Pishic City came here, and a few people who were new to Pishic City came here to observe.
Regarding this assessment and evaluation, no one seems to be interested in watching.
Su Chen saw some people chatting nearby, so he got close to them.
I want to talk to them and see if I can get some information from them.
Seeing Su Chen approaching, these people were not hiding.
During the conversation with Su Chen, the reason was explained very freely.
The rating of the formation master is an artificially imitated martial arts grade. But because of some regulations of the formation alliance, ninth-grade formation mages are completely unwelcome.
For example, Su Chen came here today and passed the examination and evaluation of the ninth-grade array mage.
In the end, he could only get a document to prove his identity as an array master.
Not even a formation mage's robe.
In the Formation Alliance, one must pass the assessment of at least an eighth-grade Formation Master in order to obtain a robe that proves one's identity.
Moreover, many of the benefits in the formation alliance, including following the formation master to get guidance, also require an eighth-level formation master.
To put it bluntly, only by passing the assessment and evaluation of the eighth-grade formation master can one truly join the formation alliance.
Why do no one come to the assessment and evaluation of the Ninth Grade Array Master, and no one watches it.
That's why.
The ninth-grade formation mage is more like a consolation prize for many people.
The difficulty of passing the ninth-grade assessment may be only 10% of the difficulty of passing the eighth-grade assessment.
The eighth-grade assessment is ten times that of the ninth-grade assessment!
Many people who are pursuing it directly take the eighth-level assessment.
Only people like Su Chen who don't understand, or people who come from a small place.
I wanted a copy of the formation master's document before I came to take the ninth-level assessment.
At this time, almost everyone who was going to take the assessment had arrived.
Most of them are young people, but there are still many middle-aged or even old people.
Not long after, the reviewers sent by the alliance arrived.
These formation mages are at least as strong as sixth-grade formation mages.
He can be regarded as the mainstay among the magicians of the Jin Kingdom.
It can also be seen from this that the assessment and evaluation of the formation alliance against the mage is relatively important.
Even for the evaluation of the ninth-grade formation master, two formation masters were still not randomly sent to prevaricate and perfunctory.
Several reviewers came over and nodded when they saw the middle-aged or even older ones.
"If you can't pass the eighth-grade evaluation, you really don't have to be persistent.
After passing the evaluation of the ninth-grade array mage, it is also a good choice to go back and cultivate future generations.
My mentor, You Mingshan, is a ninth-level formation master.
If you are persistent in your heart and your thoughts are stuck in one place, your life will be wasted. ”
This reviewer named You Mingshan should know several people who came to participate in the review.
Su Chen also heard a lot of news from what he said.
Not surprisingly, there are some people here who look a bit older and must have participated in many eighth-level formation mage assessments.
But none of them passed.
The few reviewers in front of me would say this about them.
Several middle-aged and elderly candidates looked at You Mingshan with some gratitude and guilt.
Bowed to him and saluted.
Regarding the group of formation mages, Su Chen felt that it was indeed much more harmonious.
Looking at other places, there is nothing like this.
Not being ridiculed or ridiculed is already pretty good.
After the evaluators arrived, the roll call began.
Members who signed up responded.
No one arrived, so the reviewers waited for a quarter of an hour.
In the end, there were a total of twenty-three people who participated in the ninth-level formation mage assessment.
You must know that this is the number of people from the Jin State and other countries close to the Jin State who came to participate in the assessment.
This seems to be a bit inconsistent with the lively atmosphere of Pishi City.
There are currently so many people in Pishi City, but the number of people who come here to take the assessment is only about twenty.
In the open space in front, more than twenty desks have been placed.
Pens, inks, paper and inkstones are also provided.
Su Chen found a seat and sat down.
The next step is the formal assessment and evaluation of the ninth-grade array mage.
This was his first time here, and Su Chen didn't know much about the assessment of other levels.
Just seeing this situation, I was really surprised.
Unexpectedly, I would also be asked to answer some basic common sense.
The evaluators standing in the center began to ask questions.
They asked from above, and Su Chen and others answered from below.
Just mark the numbers and write down the answers to each question.
Su Chen listened to their questions, and some of them were really unclear.
Many of the books left by Immortal Jingbo were not mentioned.
Of course, Su Chen knew most of the issues.
The content in Jingbo Immortal's book is different from the current mainstream formation concepts.
But after all, they are all formations, and the core must be similar.
They all use the formation base to drive the formation patterns to activate their effects.
It's just that there are many differences in the details and different understandings.
Su Chen could only answer them according to his own understanding.
You can't just write it all down.
In half an hour, a total of ten questions were asked.
After handing in your answer page, the second assessment begins immediately.
Moreover, there are only two items in the entire ninth-grade array mage assessment.
The first item is a written answer, and the second item is a practical exercise, the actual arrangement of the formation.
The location of the assessment is also on a flat location not far away.
This is a piece of flat land that has been professionally repaired. The entire ground is extremely flat, with no potholes visible.
By arranging the formation on top, the difficulty should be reduced by 70 to 80%.
In reality, this should rarely happen.
How could we be so lucky to have such a flat place for everyone to set up formations?
If it is used for sect protection, sometimes a flat ground can be specially built.
But in most cases, formations are used to deal with monsters.
How could there be such conditions in the wilderness border?
Walking to the open space, everyone was assigned to an area.
The formations arranged by individuals are all installed in their own areas.
Before this, there is an example formation that should have been arranged by other high-quality formation masters in advance.
The base of the formation is stable, and the formation lines are flowing like water.
This must have been arranged by some level of formation master.
After everyone arrived, the evaluation officials were given an hour.
No other complicated requirements, just a little.
Replicate the formation in front of you and run it successfully.
Carving on such a flat ground is already a very simple and simple requirement.
Without much hesitation, Su Chen picked up the tools for setting up the formation and began to arrange the formation.
The formation in front of me is called the Sealing Knowledge Formation.
This is a very basic formation, its core function is to block sounds and smells.
Stepping into the array will make people lose judgment on the sounds and smells of the outside world.
In the eyes of many people, this is a useless formation.
But Su Chen still has some research on this formation.
Many people think that this formation is useless because they do not understand it thoroughly enough and those who have already set it up are not powerful enough.
I want to exert the effect of the sealing formation.
The first is that the formation must be large and wide enough.
It must be at least ten feet wide.
The second is to be secretive enough to function silently.
Let people enter the Sealed Knowledge Formation without knowing it at all. They have no idea that they have fallen into the formation. (End of chapter)
