Chapter 338 Formation and Evaluation
"Yes, great-grandfather." Li Changgui nodded, and then explained the reason why he came to Li Qianqing, "Return to great-great-grandfather, I have arranged a first-order low-grade miniature spirit gathering array. "
"How many materials were used?" Li Qianqing asked immediately.
"Three copies."
Li Qianqing currently does not know how long it took Li Changgui to arrange the first-order low-grade miniature spiritual array. Now he can basically judge that Li Changgui has good array talent, plus He is also a dual spiritual root monk and can definitely become the family's formation master.
Formation is very difficult. In addition to having good formation talent, it is best to have good spiritual root talent. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the current Li family to play a big role.
Therefore, when Li Qianqing chose family monks with formation talents, he mainly selected monks with three spiritual roots and two spiritual roots. Four spiritual roots are also acceptable, but the talent of one formation must be particularly good, so that the family can They will provide resources and try their best to help him successfully build the foundation. As for the Five Spiritual Root monks... no matter how good the formation talent is, it is of no use. The Five Spiritual Roots monks are too difficult to build the foundation.
The Li family is only a family that cultivates immortality through pill formation, not Yuanying cultivation. After weighing the pros and cons, the most we can do is try to let such five spiritual root talented monks go. Can they break through to foundation building? It depends on fate. With the financial resources of a family that cultivates immortality through pill formation, no matter how much resources are thrown at it, it will be useless.
"You will now arrange a first-order low-grade miniature spirit gathering array in front of me." Li Qianqing also wanted to take a closer look at Li Changgui's talent.
“Yes, great-great-grandfather.”
For clan members who want to practice the formation method, after passing the initial test, the family will give them a total of five materials for setting up a first-order low-grade miniature spirit gathering array. If all five materials are used up and they still cannot set up a spirit gathering array, then the final It's better not to stick to one formation, as it will be difficult to achieve success in the future.
Li Changgui was still a little nervous when setting up the spirit gathering formation in front of Li Qianqing.
Now he must adjust his mentality. Compared with the alchemy master, the formation master has higher requirements on the mentality. You must know that setting up the spiritual formation is not like refining elixirs, it is basically the same as refining elixirs. It is obviously more conducive to do things in a familiar environment.
"It's okay, just relax, just like when you set up the first-order low-grade spirit gathering array before." Li Qianqing couldn't help but said softly when he saw this. He must have hoped that Li Changgui would be in the best condition to set up the spirit array.
After successfully deploying the spiritual array once and gaining experience, it will basically not fail the second time. The main reason is the speed.
The faster Li Changgui completes the layout of the first-order low-grade miniature spirit gathering array, the better his talent will be.
After five breaths, Li Changgui took out the materials from the storage bag and began to arrange the fourth spirit gathering array.
When he set up the spirit gathering formation, he quickly devoted himself to it.
Li Qianqing couldn't help but nodded when he saw this. This was also a sign of his talent in the formation. The reason why he asked Li Changgui to set up the Spirit Gathering Formation in front of him was because he wanted to see when he would devote himself to the arrangement. In the spirit gathering array.
Time passes little by little.
After Li Changgui completed the final steps, he placed a low-grade spirit stone into the groove of the first-order low-grade spirit gathering array, and the spirit gathering array started smoothly.
"Great-grandfather, I succeeded!" When the spirit gathering array began to gather the surrounding spiritual energy, Li Changgui looked at Li Qianqing.
"Yes, very good." Li Qianqing nodded with satisfaction.
Li Changgui's talent in formations is very good, and Duan Rongrong would be happy to accept such a disciple.
Becoming Duan Rongrong’s disciple does not mean that you need to be a disciple of Qingfeng Valley. It’s just that after becoming a disciple of Qingfeng Valley, you will get more guidance from Duan Rongrong. After all, Duan Rongrong lives in Qingfeng Valley and not in Changchun. green hills.
"Destroy the spirit gathering array as quickly as possible, and then follow me." Li Qianqing asked him to use the formation master's method to destroy the spirit gathering array, not violently.
Destruction is definitely easy, but skillful destruction is much more difficult.
"Yes, great-grandfather!"
After Li Changgui took out the low-grade spirit stones and put them away, he began to quickly destroy the first-order low-grade miniature spirit gathering array that he had just arranged.
After he destroyed the spirit gathering array, the land looked as if no spiritual array had been arranged.
This is another manifestation of talent, but Li Qianqing probably understands his talent in formations, so it is normal for Li Changgui to behave like this.
Not long after, Li Qianqing brought Li Changgui to the family treasury.
He took out all the jade slips that contained books about formations. If a family member wanted to redeem these, it would cost a large sum of contribution points. Compared with outsiders purchasing these knowledge contents, it would still be more valuable. Very cheap.
The purpose of setting up the exchange of contribution points is mainly to prevent tribesmen who have no talent in this area from doing meaningless things and need to pay a certain price. When the tribesmen need to pay a certain price, the tribesmen will be much calmer and will not become overheated. Something irrational happens.
As for tribesmen with talents, when other conditions are met, they naturally do not need to spend contribution points to obtain this knowledge. This is the cultivation of them by the family.
"Changgui, you absorb this knowledge first, and then I will find a master for you, great-grandfather." Li Qianqing handed all the books and jade slips to Li Changgui.
After seeing this, Li Changgui thanked him and put these things into his storage bag.
No matter which path you take, it is definitely better to have a master than not to have a master. You can avoid many detours, especially in formations and alchemy, the role of a master will be greater.
Li Changgui was very happy when he heard that his great-grandfather was looking for a master for him. He knew that there was currently no elder in the Li family who was involved in the formation, because if his great-great-grandfather wanted to find a master for him, he would have to look elsewhere.
"Great-grandfather, how long will it take?" Li Changgui couldn't help but ask.
Li Qianqing thought for a while and quickly replied, "It's either this year or next year."
To invite Duan Rongrong over, he first needs to see if Duan Rongrong has time. If Duan Rongrong is not busy with anything now, the fastest thing is this You can come to Evergreen Mountain in a few months.
He said it would be this year or next year. In fact, more than 90% of it can be done this year. As an elder, sometimes you can't say too much and you have to consider some unexpected situations. After all, he hasn't contacted Duan Rongrong yet. After contacting Duan Rongrong later, he will probably know the situation.
When leaving the family treasury, Li Qianqing gave a few final words to Li Changgui.
Li Changgui must first absorb all the contents in the books and jade slips, and then arrange the spiritual array, and also refine the array, array, flags and the like, so that he can progress more quickly.
After parting ways with Li Changgui, Li Qianqing returned to the cave and took out a transmission talisman to ask about Duan Rongrong's recent situation. He also told her that the Li family had a dual spiritual root monk who was talented in formations and hoped that she could take her as his. apprentice.
Not long after the transmission talisman disappeared from his eyes, he got a reply.
Duan Rongrong said that she will go to Changqing Mountain in three months.
“These things have been settled.”
After receiving the reply, Li Qianqing quickly entered a state of cultivation. This was also to cultivate to the peak of the early stage of pill formation and then enter the middle stage of pill formation.
After the Dan Formation stage, every small realm breakthrough is difficult. For example, in the Dan Formation stage, the simplest peak breakthrough in the early stage of the pill formation to the middle stage of the pill formation, many monks are stuck. Of course, most of them fail in the peak breakthrough in the middle stage of the pill formation. Come to the later stage of pill formation.
Three months later. Duan Rongrong arrived at Changqing Mountain around the same time as she told her.
As the formation elder of Qingfeng Valley, Duan Rongrong has very good cultivation resources. Now she has almost reached the peak of foundation building. As for whether she can successfully form the elixir at the peak of foundation building, Shuangling It is particularly difficult for root monks without the assistance of pill-forming spiritual objects. If there are pill-forming spiritual objects, the overall probability of successful pill-forming is not very high.
In the four major alchemy-building sects of Zhao State, there are quite a lot of monks at the peak of foundation building, and there are also some monks who can be called fake alchemy.
"Qianqing, where is the descendant you mentioned?"
Duan Rongrong met Li Qianqing soon after arriving at Changqing Mountain. After the two chatted for a few words, she proposed the descendant Li Qianqing mentioned in the transmission notes.
According to Li Qianqing's description, the talent of this younger generation of the Li family in formations should not be much different from hers.
There are three formation elders in Qingfeng Valley. The other two already have disciples, but she does not. In fact, Duan Rongrong really wants to accept a disciple, but there has never been a suitable one.
The disciples in Qingfeng Valley who have good formation talents have either been taken away, or they are from other factions, and they still have some conflicts with the Yan Xuewei faction. If not, she has achieved a breakthrough in practice to build In the later stages of foundation, one will basically take on an apprentice.
Her master only accepted her as his apprentice when she was in the late stage of foundation building. Shortly after she broke through to the foundation building stage, her master ran out of life and left this world.
"Rong Rong, come with me." Li Qianqing led the way.
While the two were walking, Duan Rongrong asked about Li Changgui. It was difficult to explain the transmission notes. Now she could learn more about her future apprentice in more detail.
At that time, when Li Qianqing had just transmitted the message to him, this Li Changgui seemed to have already deployed the first-order low-grade spirit gathering array twice.
"How has his condition been in the past three months?"
"We gave him all the relevant books and jade slips on the formation. In the past few months, Changgui has also digested the contents of the book in addition to practicing. He has not yet arranged other spiritual formations... ..."
Li Qianqing briefly talked about Li Changgui's situation. In his opinion, being able to absorb and digest so much knowledge about formations in the past three months is also a sign of good talent.
He felt that Duan Rongrong would be satisfied with this apprentice.
"Well, in this case, it will be much easier for me to teach." Duan Rongrong heard this and nodded with satisfaction.
If she has theoretical knowledge, what she needs to teach later is more practical operations, and she herself should not stay in the Li family for too long. After all, she is the formation elder of Qingfeng Valley. Even if Yan Xuewei, an elder of Danxing, was standing in front of him, he still had to restrain himself.
If there are enough reasons, there won't be much of a problem if the stay is longer, but the problem is that Duan Rongrong obviously doesn't have enough reasons now.
While walking and chatting, the two of them soon arrived at the hut where Li Changgui lived. At this moment, Li Changgui was still practicing.
When the sound of the door came from outside, he also stopped practicing.
"Great-grandfather." When he opened the door and saw Li Qianqing, he called immediately. When he saw Duan Rongrong next to Li Qianqing, he hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Disciple pays homage to master."
He had never met Duan Rongrong, nor had he heard of her. His great-great-grandfather had the intention of surprising him at that time, so he did not explain Duan Rongrong's situation to him.
He could only guarantee that this strange woman was not a monk from the Li family, and the master that his great-grandfather hired for him was definitely not a monk from the family. At this time, if his great-grandfather could bring a strange woman to see him, it could only be his future one. Master.
If it weren't for his future master, his great-great-grandfather would definitely stop him when he was doing the grand ceremony.
Because the big ceremony he performed was the apprenticeship ceremony.
"The little guy is quite clever." Duan Rongrong smiled. In her previous chat with Li Qianqing, she understood that Li Changgui didn't know about her situation. If he knew, she wouldn't say this.
"It's also a bit nonsense." When he said this, Li Qianqing was smiling. Obviously he recognized Li Changgui's approach. "The talent has not been tested yet, and the teacher has been hired."
< br>
Li Qianqing was referring to the fact that Duan Rongrong had not personally tested Li Changgui's formation talent.
Doing it yourself is somewhat different from what others say.
“Get up.” When Duan Rongrong said this, she also meant that she would definitely accept Li Changgui as her disciple.
"Thank you, Master!" Only then did Li Changgui smile.
He did not believe that the strange woman brought by his great-grandfather would not accept him as his apprentice. This was also due to his trust in his great-grandfather. He believed that the person brought by his great-grandfather would definitely succeed, and his great-grandfather also did not accept him as his apprentice at that time. He said that he would find a master for him either this year or next year, which made him more convinced of his thoughts.
"Changgui, follow me."
"Yes, Master."
"I am from Qingfeng Valley, my surname is Duan..."
After taking Li Changgui aside , Duan Rongrong also briefly introduced her situation. She had already learned the specific situation about Li Changgui from Li Qianqing.
Seeing this, Li Qianqing did not stay here. Now it is their master and apprentice's time.
It's almost dusk.
Duan Rongrong and Li Changgui spent most of the day together.
The head of the Li family lives in Dongfu.
Duan Rongrong appears here again.
"Rongrong, how are you?" Li Qianqing asked Duan Rongrong how she felt about accepting Li Changgui as her disciple.
"Very satisfied." Duan Rongrong said truthfully.
Based on what Li Qianqing said and compared with her actual feelings, it can be said that Li Qianqing's evaluation of Li Changgui is very pertinent and there is no exaggeration at all.
Normally, as the elder of the family, there is a certain filter for the younger generations. Therefore, when Duan Rongrong learned about Li Changgui’s situation from Li Qianqing, she lowered her expectations. In this way, seeing When it comes to Li Changgui's actual situation, he shouldn't be disappointed.
Expectations have been lowered. If it is worse than expected, then her own evaluation of Li Qianqing will be lower, and she will understand him better.
Now she knows Li Qianqing better, and her evaluation in her heart has risen.
"By the way, Qianqing, I have one more thing to tell you this time." After the two of them had finished talking about Li Changgui, Duan Rongrong suddenly said.
