"You want to take a look?"
Bai Hua looked at Qin Yi and asked in surprise.
Qin Yi nodded and said, "I've gained something this time. Maybe I can do something for the academy."
Bai Hua heard this and suddenly smiled, "It's rare for you to have such intentions. Since that's the case, I'll take you to have a look."
After saying this, his body flashed and he directly landed on the ground.
Qin Yi also quickly followed, and the two of them stood side by side.
But after landing, Bai Hua just stood in the same place, with no intention to continue walking.
His eyes, however, were staring at the tall building in front of him.
Qin Yi also instantly understood, "I didn't expect this. I've been here many times, but I've never discovered that the core of the academy's Sect-Protecting Array is here."
The tall building in front of them was located in the middle of the academy, and it was also the academy's tallest building. It was the most suitable place to place the core of the array.
Bai Hua sighed and said, "It's no longer as useful as before. Besides being a bit taller, there's nothing special about this place."
It could be seen that he was quite helpless in the face of this useless tall building.
After a moment of silence, he said to Qin Yi, "Let's go in."
After saying this, he took the lead and opened the entrance of the tall building.
At this moment, an ancient aura that had been sealed for a long time blew over, and the dust inside also filled the air. There was no doubt that this place had not been opened for a long time.
Bai Hua frowned and immediately waved his hand. A gust of wind directly rushed out from his sleeve, blowing away the strong smell of decay and the dust in the air.
After doing all this, Bai Hua and Qin Yi walked in.
The tall building was hollow, and it looked a little different from the outside. There were no floors inside, and one could see the top from the bottom.
In the middle of the building, there was a huge stone pillar. The stone pillar stretched directly to the top of the tall building. Even if five people were to hug it, they might not necessarily be able to hug it.
On the surface of the stone pillars, there were dense inscriptions. Starting from the bottom, there was a circular groove at regular intervals. Obviously, this was the core of the Academy's Sect-Protecting Formation.
The crux of the formation was the core of the entire formation. It was equivalent to the heart and brain of the human body and was very useful.
The inscriptions on the pivot of the formation were the lines of the formation. They were like the blood vessels of the human body. Not only did they play the role of communicating the pivot of the formation with the formation, but they also guaranteed the operation of the entire formation.
This was the purpose of the stone pillar before him. It was no wonder why it was erected in the core region of the academy and protected so well.
"This central stone pillar is the crux of the academy's Sect-Protecting Formation. It has been a hundred years since it was last activated. "
Bai Hua's gaze became somewhat complicated as he gently stroked the stone pillar with his hand. It was as if he was treating his own child, appearing exceptionally gentle.
Unfortunately, the stone pillar seemed lifeless, and it was impossible for it to react to Bai Hua's movements.
"Master, are these grooves for embedding spirit stones?"
Qin Yi came in front of the stone pillar and asked after carefully observing it.
Bai Hua nodded and said, "That's right, but the spiritual power of ordinary Transcendent High-Grade spirit stones is simply not enough to activate it. In the past, when the academy was at its peak, we could naturally supply it with top-grade spirit stones. But with the decline of the academy, it is impossible for us to come up with top-grade spirit stones to supply the spirit stones needed to operate the formation. "
Top-grade spirit stones were very precious spirit stones. The spiritual power contained within them was almost equivalent to millions of High-Grade spirit stones.
And with so many grooves here, one could imagine the price needed to maintain the daily operation of the formation. It was really not something that an ordinary force could afford.
The value of a top-grade Transcendent Spirit Stone was at least equivalent to five million High-Grade spirit stones.
The most important thing was that spirit stones were consumables. Once the spiritual power inside was depleted, it must be replenished.
It had to be said that it was really not an easy task to restore the function of the formation.
What's more, Qin Yi had just seen that cracks had appeared on the stone pillar. Obviously, even if it could afford the top-grade spirit stones needed to operate the formation, as the central hub of the formation, it would be difficult for the stone pillar to continue to function.
To restore the formation, the stone pillar must be repaired and the inscriptions on it must be reconnected.
The difficulty of this task was obviously not something an ordinary array master could accomplish.
Qin Yi turned to look at Bai Hua and asked, "Master, is there an array master in the academy now?"
Bai Hua smiled bitterly and said, "There used to be …"
Qin Yi finally understood why the formation had been ineffective for so many years, but the academy had never thought of repairing it.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
That was probably the situation he was talking about.
Bai Hua looked up at the stone pillar and said, "Well, I've seen it. Let's go out now."
Obviously, even Bai Hua did not want to stay here any longer. The symbolic meaning of the damage to the Sect-Protecting Formation was also very obvious.
Even if he was an expert, he was far from being able to calmly face this kind of decline.
What's more, he also knew that it would be very difficult to repair the formation. With the current foundation of the academy, it was simply impossible to complete the repair.
However, Qin Yi shook his head and said, "Master, I want to try."
Bai Hua's expression changed slightly, as if he could not believe what he had just heard. He asked again, "You want to try to repair this stone pillar?"
Qin Yi shook his head again and said, "According to my judgment, the damage to this stone pillar is too serious. Not only will it take a lot of time to repair it, but its power will also be greatly reduced after repair."
"Then what do you mean?"
"I want to rearrange an array pillar and improve the Sect-Protecting Formation!"
"What did you say?"
Even Bai Hua, after hearing Qin Yi's words, found it difficult to remain calm, "Qin Yi, do you know what you are talking about?"
Qin Yi nodded and resolutely said, "That's right, I'm talking about rearranging an array pillar."
Bai Hua's brows furrowed, his face revealing a thoughtful expression, as if he was considering the credibility of Qin Yi's words.
After a moment, he asked, "Have you tried it before? How confident are you? "
Qin Yi said, "To be honest, I have never tried to arrange such a large array. As for confidence, I can't say for sure. But there's no harm in trying, right? "
Bai Hua fell into deep thought again. After a long time, he finally nodded and said, "In any case, this thing is useless. It's rare for you to have such determination, so I will let you try. How long do you need? "
Qin Yi thought for a moment, then said, "Five days!"
"Five days?"
