Just like that, Irin gained another unofficial disciple status.
He had two strings of tokens hanging from his waist.
One from Preaching Path Park, and the other from Circumference Mountain.
The sun rose in the east.
The next morning.
Irin woke up from the wooden hut on Circumference Mountain. While washing up, he chatted with the three mini Mother Spirits for a while before arriving at the peak of Circumference Mountain on time, in Ren Qingshan's courtyard.
Different people were treated differently. When he was in Preaching Path Park, he had his own small room. Now that he was here, he could only live in a wooden hut. There was a sharp contrast in terms of treatment.
When Irin arrived, the other six people were already waiting.
Zhong Lin's hair was even wet with dew, which condensed into bunches and stuck to his head. It was as if he had gotten up in the middle of the night and waited here early.
"Do they have to be so curly?"
Irin muttered in a low voice and quietly sat at the back of the crowd. Because Irin had activated [Shadow Following Body] to reduce his presence, no one noticed Irin's arrival.
They waited here for another hour.
The flower boy finally appeared.
He gave each person a small handwritten book, which recorded some of his knowledge on formations in detail.
When he walked in front of Irin, the flower boy's thin hand hesitated for a moment, but he still gave it to him.
Master said that this special unofficial disciple could listen but could not ask questions.
Everything seemed to be going through the process. The flower boy did not waste time and began to explain to everyone.
The art of formations was broad and profound.
Just as they had privately understood before, the functions of formations could be roughly divided into four categories: trapping, killing, confusing, and disrupting.
But most of the time, the person who set up the formations would not be limited to a single type of formation.
Most of the famous formations circulating on the market had multiple functions.
For example, the super restrictive formation around the Heavenly Sword Sect's fairyland had all four elements.
And the test that the flower boy casually set up that day was a compound formation that had both confusing and trapping functions.
Following the flower boy's explanation, everyone gradually became immersed in the art of formations, including Irin.
Who could resist unfamiliar knowledge?
Irin's "scholar's disease" was acting up again. He listened to the flower boy's explanation, and his thoughts were all over the place. He said that he had listened, but in fact, he did not fully listen.
"Restrictions and formations are different paths that lead to the same destination." The flower child said, "Restrictions are mostly used on certain objects and are mainly used for killing. As for some formations, they are formed from countless restrictions of varying sizes. Once triggered, their might can shake the heavens and earth and cause ghosts and gods to weep. No matter how formidable a cultivator is, once trapped within, it will be difficult for them to escape. "
When the flower boy said this, he looked up into the sky. From dawn to dusk, he had unknowingly explained to the seven rookies for nearly eight hours.
He gently closed the yellowed manuscript in his hand and smiled at everyone. "That's all for today's lesson." With that said, the flower boy lit three more incense sticks in the incense burner. As the sandalwood smoke rose in spirals, the flower boy paused for a moment before continuing, "Everyone, ask one question. Except for … Lin Yi. "
After saying that, the flower boy looked past the six confused people and fixed his gaze on the young man sitting quietly in the corner of the courtyard.
The light of the setting sun reflected a hazy arc of light around the youth's silhouette.
The youth shrugged his shoulders and chuckled as if he did not care. He got up and walked away.
The others did not care about this brief exchange of glances. As soon as the flower boy finished speaking, they swarmed forward like a pack of hungry wolves and surrounded the flower boy.
… …
… …
"As expected, it's about the same as the basics described in the 《Sacred Heart Sword Formation》."
Irin did not know if it was related to his comprehension being maxed out by his innate talent.
He always felt that after carefully reading the 《Sacred Heart Sword Formation》, it was somewhat boring to listen to the flower boy's explanation.
Irin had already understood what the flower boy said, but it further confirmed Irin's conjecture.
Irin was originally a grandmaster in magic and crystal pattern techniques.
There was a certain commonality between the two power systems.
Using the vision of a grandmaster, Irin saw many interesting points when he looked at the formations of this world.
In this world, formations also used certain mediums to circulate spiritual qi and achieve all kinds of complicated functions.
However, what was different from what Irin had learned in the past was that the formation system of Qi Practitioners did not care about basic rules such as "symmetry" and "balance" at all. In other words, "unbalance" and "asymmetry" were the unique points of formation techniques.
It was just like what the flower boy had shown in the courtyard yesterday.
Yesterday, the flower boy had actually used words to guide everyone.
When they sat quietly, they were not in the formation at all.
The courtyard, the rugged rocks, the incense burner, these objects that contained spirit treasures formed the framework of the formation.
From the moment they walked into the courtyard, they had already had half a foot on the edge of the formation. Their vision was blocked, like a mirage.
And the flower boy's action of lighting the sandalwood incense was equivalent to triggering the formation.
However, the formation was dead. If the interviewee did not enter, the formation existed in name only.
Therefore, the flower boy said, "Only those who walk out of the circle can pass the test."
Therefore, everyone was fooled. They took the initiative to enter the formation and were played around.
Everyone was outside the circle from the beginning. How could they say that they were outside the circle?
Therefore, in the end, Irin used the simplest method to pass the test.
Since the flower boy was waiting for them to enter the trap, they just had to not enter.
As for breaking the formation … Irin felt that it was not very possible.
Because he could see.
The core of the compound formation, the core, was not in his line of sight at all.
If Irin guessed correctly, the true master of the formation was not the flower boy, but Ren Qingshan who was hiding in the room.
In the end, the flower boy was just Ren Qingshan's tool. He was responsible for moving the formation flags and adjusting the formation.
… …
According to the basics of formation techniques, a complete formation was composed of the core, the flags, and the core.
And most of the time, the master of the formation replaced the core, turning the formation from fully automatic to semi-automatic.
Look, after understanding the most basic core, the rest of the content couldn't be any simpler. It was nothing more than deduction.
Rearrange and rearrange the four core components of the formation in an orderly manner: trapping, confusing, disorienting, and killing …
"Wait!"
Irin walked on the mountain path.
He raised one foot and didn't put it down for a long time.
A ridiculous thought flashed through Irin's mind. He paused and couldn't walk.
"Components."
"Arrange."
"Split."
"Reorganize …?"
Irin held back the thought that flashed through his mind just now. He didn't want to let it go.
Sometimes, people would have the so-called "flash of inspiration."
It was commonly known as "inspiration."
But many times, the fool ignored inspiration, and the wise suddenly came to their senses.
If it was Irin in the past, he might have laughed it off.
But now, Irin's comprehension was maxed out.
Now, Irin was thinking about the fusion method of the crystal pattern technique, magic, and the Supreme Style technique.
At this moment, Irin had the illusion that time around him had stopped as if his head had been split open by lightning.
… …
"Sometimes, it's not a good thing to walk too fast. Slow down and look back. Maybe there will be an unexpected gain."
… …
In the past, when the two of them were slightly drunk in the handyman class, Chen Bei's words were like beside their ears.
"I see!"
Irin rushed to the edge of Circumference Mountain in one breath.
Because he didn't have the identity of an outer sect disciple, the public red-crowned crane didn't pay attention to him. Irin stretched out his hand, aimed at the nearest red-crowned crane, and suddenly attacked.
The red-crowned crane's wings contracted. It was captured by an invisible hand and brought to Irin.
The red-crowned crane raised its head.
Its intelligence was muddled. It didn't understand anything, but it did understand a little.
A young man with a kind smile lifted the red-crowned crane's chin and said with a smile, "Take me to the male handyman's room, or else … I'll eat you."
The red-crowned crane trembled and nodded vigorously. Tears of grievance squeezed out of its eyes.
On this day, an in-name disciple conquered the public red-crowned crane. In the red-crowned crane circle, all kinds of legends were left behind.
The red-crowned crane carried the young man and flew in a straight line at high speed. They arrived at the handyman's room.
Chen Bei had just finished a day's work and was about to wash up and sleep.
Yi Lin ran to Chen Bei in a hurry. Under the other party's dumbfounded gaze, Yi Lin grabbed Chen Bei's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry.
"Master, I understand!"
"…?"
