Xia Ruofei nodded and stepped into the room.
In the center of the room was a millstone-sized main control array, surrounded by many auxiliary array glyphs.
Xia Ruofei looked around and found that although the control center was in this room, the whole Zhai Xing Lou was closely related to the Sect-Protecting Formation. The ancestor of the Star Picking Sect who had set up this Sect-Protecting Formation must have been very accomplished in the field of formations.
Luo Qingfeng said with a hint of pride, "Master, this Sect-Protecting Formation is called the Star Evolution Formation. It was set up by a genius elder of our Star Picking Sect 500 years ago. Because of this, Zhai Xing Lou underwent a very thorough transformation. Although the younger generation of the Star Picking Sect has failed to live up to expectations these years and our sect's status in the cultivation world is only average, in terms of defense, because of the existence of the Star Evolution Formation, ordinary top sects would not dare to attack us easily!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Although I've only taken a preliminary look at it, I can feel that this formation is really amazing!"
Luo Qingfeng said, "Thank you for your praise, Master! More than 200 years ago, the top sect of that time, the Wanshou Sect, had a deadly feud with our ancestor and once attacked us. Not only were the cultivators of the Wanshou Sect stronger than the Star Picking Sect, but they could also control wild beasts and even a spirit beast. Ordinary sects could not stop them at all. However, in the face of the Star Evolution Formation, even the Wanshou Sect could do nothing. They attacked for more than a month and finally retreated resentfully! "
Xia Ruofei said with great interest, "I didn't expect the Star Picking Sect to have such a glorious history! What about the Wanshou Sect? Why have they disappeared without a trace? Don't tell me that you killed them instead? "
Luo Qingfeng laughed dryly and said, "Master, you must be joking. For more than 300 years, the strength of the Star Picking Sect has been declining. How could they take the initiative to provoke the Wanshou Sect? However, the Wanshou Sect has indeed disappeared. About 100 years ago, it was said that the Wanshou Sect discovered a very extraordinary ancient cultivation relic. They sent all the stronger cultivators in the sect, but none of them returned. The Wanshou Sect was usually very domineering and had offended many forces. After the news spread, the Wanshou Sect was torn apart very quickly! I heard that our Star Picking Sect received the news a little too late and couldn't get a share of the profits. My ancestor has been regretting for a long time! "
Xia Ruofei also felt a little emotional. Although Luo Qingfeng had only briefly described the history of the destruction of a sect, Xia Ruofei could still feel the cruelty of the law of the jungle in the cultivation world.
This also reminded him once again that no matter what, he could not forget to work hard to improve his own strength. At the very least, he had to have the ability to protect himself.
Whether it was Peach Blossom Island or the Star Picking Sect, they were now Xia Ruofei's assets.
"Master, the structure of the Stellar Evolution Formation is also stored here. The Old Slave will go and find it for you!" Luo Qingfeng said.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take a look at the structure of this formation first. Since it was laid out by the ancestors of the Star Picking Sect, it must be very good! I may not be able to improve it … "
"Master, the Stellar Evolution Formation is still far inferior to the Great Void Mystical Clear Formation on Peach Blossom Island." Luo Qingfeng said, "Therefore, I believe that master will be able to come up with a better plan to further strengthen the Star Picking Sect's defenses!"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "The Great Void Mystical Clear Formation was successfully laid out mainly because the terrain there originally formed a natural formation. I only made some modifications. You can say that I took advantage of the situation! If I were to lay out such a large formation out of thin air, I'm afraid that even if I were given another fifty years, I still wouldn't be able to do it! "
"Master is too modest …" Luo Qingfeng said, "Master is the most talented young man I've ever seen. Whether it is in terms of cultivation or the Dao of Formations, you make the Old Slave feel ashamed of his inferiority!"
Xia Ruofei thought to himself, "Actually, my strongest point is in the Dao of Space. The things you said are only slightly better than the average cultivator."
As he spoke, Luo Qingfeng took out a key from his storage ring and opened a cabinet in the corner of the room. Carefully, he took out a piece of paper.
Xia Ruofei took it and glanced at it. The paper was made of animal skin, but he couldn't tell what kind of animal skin it was. Because it was too old, the paper was mottled with traces, and the drawings and words on it were somewhat blurred. However, as long as he looked closely, he could still make out what it was.
Xia Ruofei opened the paper and looked at it carefully under the light. What surprised Xia Ruofei was that the Star Picking Sect already used electric lights. Even the Star-Picking Tower was filled with very bright LED lights.
According to Luo Qingfeng, this was a set of power generation equipment that Wang Boshan had specially brought in. The power station and substation were both located near a mountain stream not far from the Sect. They used the difference in the flow of the water to generate electricity and transmit it to the Sect.
Of course, these facilities were also maintained by special disciples. At the same time, they were also hidden by array formations.
In order to introduce electricity to the Sect, Wang Boshan had specially transferred a group of disciples from the Sect to the School of Electricity for training. The construction and maintenance of the facilities were all done by this group of disciples.
Xia Ruofei's current level of array formation was much higher than when he set up the Great Void Mystical Clear Formation on Peach Blossom Island.
Although he spent most of his time studying the Dao of Space when he was trapped in the ore for a thousand years, he still needed to use his brain sometimes. Therefore, he took out the knowledge in the Inheritance Jade Talisman to study. Although the time he spent on studying was very small, it was still a very long time in the span of a thousand years.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei basically studied all the ancient books on array formation in the Inheritance Jade Talisman thoroughly. The same went for other miscellaneous studies.
However, he didn't have much opportunity to practice in the ore's space.
In any case, his current level of array formation theory was much higher than before.
Xia Ruofei didn't have a direct idea of how much it had improved. However, he could easily understand this blueprint. This could be considered a direct reflection — if it was in the past, it would probably take him a long time to study this blueprint clearly.
But now, Xia Ruofei could clearly simulate the operation of the entire array just by looking at the blueprint.
Furthermore, unlike Luo Qingfeng, who only knew how to operate the formation, Xia Ruofei could tell at a glance why the genius elder from the Star Plucking Sect had set up the formation in such a way. He only needed to ponder a little before he could figure out why the genius elder from the Star Plucking Sect had set up the formation.
Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to disturb Xia Ruofei and stood quietly beside him.
Xia Ruofei, on the other hand, was concentrating on studying the blueprint.
After looking at it for half an hour, he let out a long sigh of relief and carefully folded the blueprint.
Xia Ruofei had to admit that the array that the genius Elder had set up back then was indeed very advanced and ingenious. Even Xia Ruofei couldn't help but praise it when he saw it.
One could imagine that the Star Plucking Sect's ancestor must have been extremely talented in array formation theory.
However, the Star Plucking Sect's heritage wasn't particularly deep. No matter how talented that genius Elder was, he didn't have the unique learning conditions that Xia Ruofei did. It was impossible for him to come into contact with so many array formation books from so many different schools. To put it bluntly, his vision was still somewhat narrow.
Vision determined the structure.
This Star Evolution Array was exquisite, but the overall structure was still not grand enough.
At least, that was the case in Xia Ruofei's eyes.
After he finished studying the blueprint, although he hadn't checked the array formation or the control core yet, he had basically formed a few directions for improvement in his mind.
This made Xia Ruofei feel slightly relieved.
If he found that he couldn't make any changes after looking at it for half a day, then it would really be a bit embarrassing.
Luo Qingfeng looked at Xia Ruofei and asked with a trace of expectation, "Master, what do you think? Is there any room for improvement in our Sect Protecting Array? "
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "I've already studied the blueprint for a while. I'll look at it again in a moment and test it out if necessary. If my judgment isn't wrong, there should be a few areas that can be improved! "
Luo Qingfeng was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "That's great! Master, how do you need this Old Slave to cooperate? Please tell me! "
Other than Luo Qingfeng's most trusted disciple, only Luo Qingfeng himself could control this Sect Protecting Array.
This was a rule that had been passed down for generations in the Star Plucking Sect.
And the only one who could truly control the array was Luo Qingfeng himself. The reason why a trusted disciple was arranged to learn part of the array's control function was to prevent a strong enemy from attacking when the Sect Leader wasn't in the Sect.
Although the Sect Protecting Array would automatically activate its defense when it was attacked, if there was no one to control the array, its defensive power would be much weaker.
When Luo Qingfeng heard Xia Ruofei say that there was room for improvement, his first thought was to fully cooperate with Xia Ruofei. Whatever Xia Ruofei wanted to test the array, he would spare no effort to cooperate.
Xia Ruofei heard this and said with a smile, "Just watch from the side. If there's a problem with my control, remind me in time."
"Ah?" Luo Qingfeng was stunned.
He hadn't taught Xia Ruofei how to control the array beforehand!
Could it be that this thing could be taught without a teacher?
Before Luo Qingfeng could react, Xia Ruofei had already taken out a few spirit stones with a flip of his hand and skillfully inserted them into the array's control core. Then, he pressed his hands on the control core and released his spiritual power slightly …
This Star Evolution Array was usually in a hidden state and only retained its basic defensive function, so the energy required was naturally very small.
But when it was necessary to test the array's various functions, more spirit stones had to be inserted to ensure the supply of energy.
After Luo Qingfeng saw Xia Ruofei's skillful operation, the control core lit up slightly and began to operate smoothly.
This scene made Luo Qingfeng dumbstruck.
He had controlled this array for decades, so he didn't need to release his spiritual power to confirm — the array's defensive function had been completely activated.
Then, Xia Ruofei changed his hand movements and the way his spiritual power operated several times. The array was like an obedient child, constantly changing and displaying various functions under Xia Ruofei's control.
While Xia Ruofei was controlling the array, his spiritual power had already radiated out. Not only was he observing the operation of the array in the entire Zhai Xing Lou, but he was also extending it further to observe the state of the array's operation. He was also verifying some of the judgments he had made when he looked at the blueprint.
After a while, Xia Ruofei withdrew the spirit stones.
At this time, the Star Evolution Array obediently returned to its dormant "standby" state.
Luo Qingfeng's head was dizzy at this time, and he felt like he was dreaming.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Qingfeng, I've already seen through it. But I still need to think about how to improve it. There are a few embryonic plans, and I have to confirm the direction of improvement before perfecting them. It may take two or three days! "
Luo Qingfeng came back to his senses, but he was still somewhat flabbergasted.
The operation of the Star Evolution Array was very complicated. When he was first confirmed as the successor to the sect master, he had to learn for more than two months before he could barely master it, and this was under the circumstances of someone teaching him.
But Xia Ruofei was completely self-taught. He had only studied the blueprint for half an hour, and he was actually able to operate it so skillfully. It was really infuriating to compare oneself to others!
Moreover, he heard Xia Ruofei say that he had actually formed several embryonic plans in such a short time. From Xia Ruofei's words, it seemed that he wanted to pick a plan and perfect it.
Since when was modifying a sect-protecting array as easy as eating and drinking? And he could actually be so picky …
If he wasn't a genius, then how could those so-called geniuses of the other sects endure it?
"Qingfeng?" Xia Ruofei looked at Luo Qingfeng's dazed expression and couldn't help but call out to him.
Luo Qingfeng came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Master, Old Slave is really too shocked … I originally wanted to explain to Master how to control this Star Evolution Array, but I never thought that Master would be able to do it on his own … This Old Slave is really a frog at the bottom of a well!"
"This is all from looking at the blueprint!" Xia Ruofei said. "As long as you completely understand the blueprint and understand how to operate the array, it won't be difficult to control it. It's not difficult to know how to do it!"
Luo Qingfeng suddenly felt as if he had been hit by tens of thousands of critical hits …
He still hadn't figured out the principle of the Star Evolution Array. He only knew how to control the array according to the control method taught to him by the old sect master. As far as he knew, there weren't many sect masters of the Star Picking Sect who truly understood the principle of this array. Most of them only knew how to do it but didn't know how to do it.
Xia Ruofei had only spent half an hour to completely understand the principle of the entire array.
Now, he actually said so casually, "It's not difficult to know how to do it". If Xia Ruofei wasn't Luo Qingfeng's master, he probably wouldn't be able to stop himself from cutting ties with Xia Ruofei. This was really too infuriating …
