Although the Star Plucking Sect was not particularly powerful, it was still a large sect that had been passed down for several hundred years.
The materials that Xia Ruofei had listed out were all gathered in the Star Plucking Sect's storehouse. This saved Xia Ruofei a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, he would have to go out and search for or purchase them. Even if the materials were not particularly rare, it would be a waste of time.
Since the materials were all gathered, Xia Ruofei also used the time that Luo Qingfeng had taken to prepare the materials to run through his modification plan. After confirming that there were no problems, Xia Ruofei began to lead Luo Qingfeng to modify the entire sect's protective formation from Star Plucking Tower.
The remodeling took about two days.
Xia Ruofei had used the original Star Evolution Formation to the greatest extent possible. He had cleverly mixed in some of his ideas on formation theory. Therefore, the modification was not very drastic. The time and materials spent were also not very high.
During the modification process, Xia Ruofei would also explain the process to Luo Qingfeng.
He did not expect Luo Qingfeng to completely understand the entire formation. However, it would at least increase his understanding of the formation's principles. This would also be of great help to him in controlling formations in the future.
After the modification was complete, Xia Ruofei personally tested the formation.
The entire formation operated smoothly and the effects were very obvious.
In terms of defense, Xia Ruofei estimated that it was at least thirty percent stronger than the original Star Evolution Formation.
In addition, the formation's offensive capabilities were also much stronger.
In terms of gathering spirit energy, the original Star Evolution Formation was not very obvious. It was probably because the genius elder of the Star Plucking Sect did not have a deep understanding of spirit energy gathering formations. In addition, this kind of comprehensive formation required the integration of all its functions. Therefore, this was the original Star Evolution Formation's weakness.
Xia Ruofei made specific adjustments.
The moment the formation was activated, the effects were immediately apparent.
It turned out that the cultivation environment of the Star Plucking Sect was only slightly better than that of the outside world.
In fact, this was one of the reasons why the Star Plucking Sect had been on the decline over the years. The Star Evolution Formation's defensive capabilities were extremely strong, but its ability to gather spiritual energy was its shortcoming. As a result, the cultivation environment within the sect was inferior to that of many other first-rate sects. While it might not be obvious in the short term, as time passed, the sect's overall strength would be severely affected.
After Xia Ruofei's key modifications, Luo Qingfeng immediately felt traces of spiritual energy converging from outside the formation as soon as it started operating. The spiritual energy gathering effect was several times better than before!
Even the ordinary disciples of the Star Seizing Sect could sense the change.
Cultivators were naturally very sensitive to spirit energy.
Although the formation had just been activated and the concentration of Spirit Qi in the entire sect had not changed significantly, everyone could still feel the Spirit Qi concentration slowly increasing.
Everyone knew that the Sect Master and the newly appointed First Elder had been busy modifying the sect-protecting formation for the past two days. At first, some of the disciples were more or less worried. After all, the Star Evolution Formation was the foundation of the Star Plucking Sect. The Star Plucking Sect had relied on this famous sect-protecting formation to survive many crises.
That First Elder was so young. Could he really modify a sect-protecting formation that had been operating for hundreds of years?
What if the modification didn't work and instead damaged the sect-protecting formation? What would they do then?
Unexpectedly, the sect-protecting formation had been modified in just two days. Moreover, as soon as it started operating, everyone immediately felt a completely different feeling.
The concentration of spiritual energy was still slowly increasing. For the time being, they didn't know where the limit was.
If it could double or triple, then the cultivation environment of the Star Plucking Sect would not be inferior to that of any first-rate sect!
In fact, these disciples were a little too conservative.
When Xia Ruofei had designed the modification plan for the formation, he had planned to increase the concentration of spiritual energy by at least three times compared to the original formation.
Moreover, he had also used his extensive knowledge and profound understanding of formation theory to successfully come up with a plan.
After completing the modification today and truly operating the formation, Xia Ruofei was finally completely relieved.
The theoretical design had been tested in practice.
Xia Ruofei made a rough estimate. In terms of the concentration of spiritual energy, the modified formation was at least three times that of the original sect-protecting formation. This was already the most conservative estimate.
Basically, after the formation had been operating for some time, the concentration of spiritual energy in the sect would reach a new equilibrium. Although there would still be a big gap between the concentration of spiritual energy and that of Peach Blossom Island, there shouldn't be any first-rate sect that could surpass the Star Plucking Sect. Even some of the top sects might not be able to reach this level of cultivation environment.
The successful modification of the formation greatly boosted Luo Qingfeng's spirits.
After expressing his gratitude to Xia Ruofei, he quickly ordered his trusted disciples to announce the news to the entire sect.
The disciples of the Star Plucking Sect had already felt the slow increase in the concentration of spiritual energy, so they had already guessed in their hearts.
After the news was announced, everyone's guesses were confirmed.
When the disciples of the Star Plucking Sect learned that the new Great Elder had modified the formation in just two days, not only had its defensive and offensive capabilities increased by several times, but even more exciting was that its ability to gather spiritual energy was actually several times better than before.
One could imagine that it wouldn't be long before the Star Plucking Sect became an enviable cultivation paradise.
As disciples who lived and cultivated in the sect, they were naturally the biggest beneficiaries.
Moreover, the Great Elder would soon conduct a "bone foundation test" on everyone. This meant that everyone would have the opportunity to obtain a cultivation method that was more suitable for them. If they discovered a talent that they hadn't discovered before, they would also be given more resources.
Originally, the continuous deterioration of the cultivation environment had caused many disciples of the Star Plucking Sect to lose confidence in their path of cultivation. However, this young Great Elder who had appeared out of nowhere had brought them great hope.
In an instant, Xia Ruofei's reputation in the Star Plucking Sect had reached a peak.
If it was said that when he first took up the position, everyone was very respectful of him, but that was mostly because of the fabricated "Nascent Soul grandmaster" behind him and the deterrence of Luo Qingfeng, the Sect Master. But now, he had established a solid reputation for himself.
It could be said that Xia Ruofei's reputation in the Star Plucking Sect was second only to Luo Qingfeng's. It could even be said that he was on par with Luo Qingfeng.
This was under the condition that no one knew his cultivation level. If the disciples knew that he was already a Golden Core cultivator at such a young age, and that he was even stronger than Luo Qingfeng, they would probably prostrate themselves in admiration of him.
During the modification of the formation, Xia Ruofei did not forget to pay attention to Practitioner Yuntai, who was still in the cave of the Mountain Sea Territory in the Ring-Tu space.
However, Practitioner Yuntai's spiritual body seemed to have been severely damaged. After taking the initiative to communicate with him for a short while, he had not spoken again.
Xia Ruofei was worried that he would lose contact with Practitioner Yuntai after the small space inside the ore moved, so he took the time to enter the Ring-Tu space and personally used his spiritual power to investigate.
He discovered that Practitioner Yuntai seemed to have established a stable passage. Although the position of the space was constantly changing, Xia Ruofei was still able to easily find the small space by following the beacon left behind by Practitioner Yuntai.
The result of his investigation was that Practitioner Yuntai had entered a state similar to deep sleep. Perhaps this state was more conducive to the recovery of his spiritual body.
Xia Ruofei knew that under such circumstances, unless there was a life and death crisis, Practitioner Yuntai would not react to external stimuli.
Originally, Xia Ruofei had a lot of questions to ask Practitioner Yuntai, but under the current circumstances, he could only wait until Practitioner Yuntai woke up.
Of course, it was good news for Xia Ruofei to confirm that Layman Yuntai was not in danger and that the connection between him and the small space would not be severed. He finally felt at ease.
The modification of the Star Evolution Formation had been completed, so Xia Ruofei was ready to leave.
A lot of things had happened during this auction, and he had gained a lot. He needed some time to digest them.
In addition, he had to give the two storage rings to Song Wei and Ling Qingxue. There was also the wild tea he got from Chen Xuan. It could help a Qi Condensation cultivator break through a small realm. Of course, he had to share it with his close female friends.
Furthermore, during the time he had been trapped in the ore space, he had used his free time to study all the ancient books on formations in the jade talisman of inheritance. It could be said that his mastery of formations had improved by leaps and bounds. This time, he had modified the Star Evolution Formation in the Star Seizer Sect, which had been an opportunity for him to practice. He had combined a lot of theoretical knowledge with practice, which was actually very helpful to his understanding of formations.
Xia Ruofei felt that he had gained a lot.
When he activated the Great Void Mystic Clear Formation, it was based on his understanding of the Great Void Mystic Clear Formation. Looking back now, it seemed that there was still a lot of room for improvement.
In fact, the effects of the same formation set up by different formation masters would be very different.
It was the same Great Void Mystical Clear Formation. If it was set up by a master of array formation, the effect would definitely be much better than what Xia Ruofei had done.
The Great Void Mystic Clear Formation on Peach Blossom Island was a natural formation, and Xia Ruofei had only activated it. But now that his understanding was on a different level, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
Xia Ruofei felt that if he went back and modified the previous arrangement, he could at least increase the power of the Great Void Mystic Clear Formation by another ten or twenty percent.
Moreover, this was not the limit. If Xia Ruofei's formation skills could still improve in the future, there was still room for improvement.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei planned to return to Peach Blossom Island after leaving the Star Picking Sect.
But before he left, he had one more thing to do, and that was to screen all the disciples of the Star Picking Sect.
Now that the Star Picking Sect could be considered his property, he naturally would not allow any hidden dangers to exist.
Luo Qingfeng had already made arrangements in advance. After the modification of the formation was completed, Xia Ruofei gave the order, and the screening began immediately.
Luo Qingfeng had originally wanted to let Xia Ruofei rest, but Xia Ruofei was anxious to get back and wanted to finish everything as soon as possible. Luo Qingfeng naturally did not dare to disobey his wishes.
Therefore, all the disciples of the Star Picking Sect were gathered and entered Star Picking Tower one by one to undergo Xia Ruofei's "bone foundation test".
Starting from Luo Qingfeng's fellow disciples, who were the elders of the Star Picking Sect, everyone underwent the test.
In the Star Picking Sect, Luo Qingfeng was the only Aurous Core stage cultivator. The highest level of cultivation among the elders was only at Qi Refining Stage Level 9. Xia Ruofei's spiritual power had already entered the late stage of the Spirit Gathering stage after thousands of years of polishing in the ore space. He was basically unparalleled in the entire cultivation world. Therefore, these elders and ordinary disciples were no different in front of Xia Ruofei.
In particular, everyone was unguarded against Xia Ruofei. When Xia Ruofei told them to open their minds for the "bone foundation test", everyone naturally followed his instructions. Therefore, Xia Ruofei was able to hypnotize them in an instant.
The test was carried out very quickly. In less than a day, except for those who were working outside, everyone had undergone the test.
When Xia Ruofei was testing the disciples of the Star Picking Sect, Luo Qingfeng personally stood guard outside and was responsible for "calling out the numbers". Therefore, he did not know the results of everyone's test. Xia Ruofei did not say anything either. Just like an assembly line, after everyone had been tested, he called Luo Qingfeng in.
Luo Qingfeng had already ordered all the disciples to leave Star Picking Tower. As soon as he entered the room, he bowed to Xia Ruofei and asked respectfully, "Master, how is the situation?"
Luo Qingfeng felt a little uneasy. Although he had absolute control over the entire sect and could be said to mean what he said, he could not guarantee that everyone below him was reliable.
He was even certain that there would definitely be spies in such a large sect, just like how the Star Picking Sect had also sent spies to other sects.
Luo Qingfeng was worried that if there were too many problematic people, his master would inevitably have the impression that he was not capable enough.
Xia Ruofei said indifferently, "The tests are all over. The overall situation is not bad. The basic disciples are basically quite loyal. Among the elders, there is one who is quite ambitious and is constantly thinking of replacing you. Although his strength is average, if you are not careful, you may be plotted against … "
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng could not help sweating profusely. The ones he was not sure about were the low-level disciples. As for the elders, he was actually quite confident. Moreover, he had always treated them well. He did not expect that among his fellow disciples, there would actually be someone who was disloyal.
Xia Ruofei glanced at Luo Qingfeng and continued, "In addition, there were also five spies among the disciples. With such a large number of disciples, five spies are not considered too many. However, three of them came from the same sect. They colluded with each other and passed on a lot of information. You actually did not notice it! In addition, among the five spies, there is actually one who works in a core location like Star Picking Tower. Fortunately, I have already asked him. He was also just transferred in and did not dare to act for the time being, so there was not much damage done. However, the fact that there are spies in the core location has caused you to be on high alert! "
When Xia Ruofei said this, his tone was very strict. Luo Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat …
