A Good Romance

Although Ling Han wrote over a hundred martial arts and cultivation techniques yesterday, he didn't intend to hand them all over. Three books on Introduction to Formations and one book on Formations were enough for him to study for a while.
Thus, he decided to leave and head for the Dark Demon Forest.
Bringing Hu Niu, he hired a carriage. This journey would take more than ten days, so it was better to hire a carriage as a means of transportation.
In the carriage, Hu Niu happily nibbled on jerky, while Ling Han took out Introduction to Formations and flipped through it.
Soon, he revealed a solemn expression.
Martial Art was a process of self-cultivation, viewing the human body as a great treasure that unearthed endless potential. There was a saying in the world of Martial Art: one person, one world. It meant that when one cultivated Martial Art to the extreme, the martial artist himself could become a huge world, possessing supreme power.
Formations, however, were the exact opposite.
This Dao worshipped the power of nature, and its main purpose was to borrow the power of nature and transform it for one's own use. Thus, the key was how to borrow the power of nature.
To borrow the power of nature, there needed to be a medium, called the Formation Eye.
The Formation Eye could take various forms, such as a sword, a saber, or a flag. However, not any sword, stone, or flag could be used as the Formation Eye; there were very strict requirements. The first was the quality of the material itself, and the second was the formation pattern inscribed on it.
The person who wrote this book liked to use flags as the Formation Eye, so they were called Formation Flags. Like Martial Art, Formation Flags were divided into ten levels, and the formation laid by different levels of Formation Flags was also different in power.
High level Array Flags could be used to arrange low level Array Formations, but the reverse was not possible. High level Array Formations required high level Array Flags to arrange, otherwise the Array Flags would not be able to withstand the World Energy, and would instantly explode.
Thus, to do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools, find suitable materials to make Formation Flags or other Formation Eyes, and then discuss the layout of the formation.
Ling Han was eager to give it a try. When he passed by a large city, he spent thirty thousand Origin Crystals to buy a piece of Purple Patterned Gold, which weighed more than half a kilogram. It was incomparably expensive.
This was a rank five forging material, which could be used to create Sea of Souls Realm spirit weapons. Of course, it was precious. Fortunately, there was only one kilogram of it, which was not enough to make swords or blades. Otherwise, thirty thousand yuan crystals would not be enough to buy it.
Ling Han immediately entered the Black Tower. Inside, he could summon raging flames and easily smelt this piece of rare metal into seven small metal rods. Because he lacked materials, he didn't make them into formation flags. Anyways, the most important thing was to carve the formation patterns, and as for what kind of formation eye it was, it was completely irrelevant.
This was the first step. The second step was to carve the array patterns on the iron rod. This was the most crucial step. The array patterns drew upon the power of heaven and earth. Whatever type of array pattern was used, the effect would be completely different.
There was a reason why Ling Han forged the seven metal rods, and it was based on the Small Heavenly Origin Spirit Snake Array. As long as he could carve the formation patterns on them, they would be able to form the true eye of the array. When the time came, he would scatter them around his body, and the array would automatically form, which could have both defensive and offensive effects.
The problem was how to carve the array patterns.
This wasn't like drawing, where one could carve according to the pattern. The array patterns could draw upon the power of heaven and earth, which was a kind of understanding, just like the will of Martial Art. If you understood it, then you understood it. If you didn't, then you didn't understand it. There was no way to tell the difference.
To carve the array patterns, one had to first understand the formation. Thus, some people with a deep understanding were high-level formation masters, and some with a shallow understanding were low-level formation masters.
In his previous life, Ling Han had studied various formations. Of course, at that time, he studied how to break them and how to find the holes in the formation, but this could be used as a reference. What's more, he also possessed the divine sense of Heaven Tier and the comprehension of Martial Art, so studying low-level formations was too easy.
He constantly sighed, "So that's how it is," and made rapid progress in the path of formations.
Five days later, he threw the three introductory formation books to the side, picked up a stone at random, and began carving array patterns on it.
Every array pattern had to be completed in one go, without any pause. As long as there was a delay, it would affect the operation of the power of heaven and earth. A formation eye could at most have three pauses, otherwise it was equivalent to being scrapped.
A fourth level formation eye could carve at least nine array patterns, and at most fifteen, all of which had to be squeezed onto such a small metal rod. The Small Tianyuan Spirit Snake Formation required seven formation eyes to be set up, and each formation eye was limited to fifteen formation patterns. It could be considered a high-grade formation among fourth-grade formations. From this point of view, Yin Hong's price was quite fair.
Ling Han began to inscribe the formation patterns. When he had inscribed fifteen formation patterns on a piece of rock, he examined them carefully and discovered that at least eight of them were wrong. Moreover, the few that were not wrong also had many pauses.
It was fine, he didn't expect to become a formation master immediately, so he'd take it slow.
On the eleventh day from Extreme Yang City, Ling Han finally arrived at the outskirts of the Dark Demon Forest. The coachman was unwilling to advance any further, and after Ling Han alighted, he immediately whipped the horse and hurriedly left.
This was an extremely chaotic place. It wasn't occupied by any power, but it just so happened that this place was rich in spirit grasses. It attracted a large number of powers to come here to gather spirit grasses. Because of the huge profits, conflicts often broke out here. Blood and deaths were normal things.
There was no ruler in the Dark Demon Forest, but there were four relatively stronger forces. Because they had developed in the Dark Demon Forest, they were equivalent to local tyrants. Even great forces like the Winter Moon Sect and the Beast Emperor Sect would not be willing to provoke them.
These four parties were the Blood Light Tower, the Heavenly Silkworm Court, the Eroding Bone Palace, and the Gust Demon Hall. It was said that they all had Flower Blossom Tier elites. Aside from these four great parties, there were also many medium and small parties that struggled to survive in the cracks, and even wanted to replace the four great parties.
It was said that many medium parties even received support from great clans like the Winter Moon Sect, but no one could say for sure whether it was true or not.
The four great parties each had many camps in the Dark Demon Forest that were open to the public, equivalent to barriers that provided protection for martial artists who gathered herbs. However, they definitely didn't do charity, and if one wanted to enter the camp, they had to pay money — Origin Crystals, of course. Without Origin Crystals, they could use spirit herbs or refining materials as a substitute.
In the camp, no one was allowed to use force; this was the most basic rule. Once they left, it didn't matter even if they were beheaded and sent flying.
Ling Han walked casually, but his entire mind was on formations. After these ten days of research, he also developed a strong interest in formations, and if it was combined with Martial Art, it could display extraordinary effects.
In reality, formations were closely related to every martial artist. For the simplest example, Spirit Tools actually belonged to formations, and imprinting the intent of Martial Art on them was the most superficial formation pattern.
However, if the formation pattern was also imprinted on the Spirit Tool, the two would be combined, and the power released would naturally be stronger.
"Brother, you're alone, why don't you join us?" He walked slowly, and was soon overtaken by a team. Someone offered him an olive branch.
