Chapter 315: Creating a Battle Flag

Lu Ye would naturally not activate the talent tree here to absorb the power of the earth fire. People had good intentions to bring him here to build the formation flag. It would be too outrageous to do so.

That was stealing someone else's wall.

The furnace quickly turned red. Old Bai raised his hand and threw a metal ingot into the furnace. By the way, he asked Lu Ye: "How do you generally choose the materials for building the formation flag and the formation base?"

"Usually, you have to choose the kind of light and strong metal that has strong conductivity to spiritual power. Honeycomb steel and black iron are the most commonly used materials. In addition, if there is a need, the flag can also be made of some monster skins..."

Lu Ye recalled Bai Qian's previous teachings and talked freely.

Bai Qian nodded with satisfaction and asked a few more questions, and Lu Ye answered them quickly.

"Theory is only theory after all. Mastering these theories requires the ability to realize them, otherwise it will only be empty talk."

The metal ingot thrown into the furnace by Bai Qian quickly turned into flowing liquid. He urged his spiritual power to raise his hand and grabbed it. The red and hot liquid was immediately grabbed by him. Under the control of his spiritual power, this ball of liquid immediately transformed into the shape of the formation flag.

"When you have a strong enough control over your own spiritual power, you can refine the formation flag without external force. If you can't do it, you can use a mold." As he said this, he placed the hot liquid into a mold pit on the forging table, which was the mold of the formation flag.

After cooling it down a little, Bai Qian took out the rough blank of the formation flag, grabbed the hammer and smashed it down.

Under one hammer, Lu Ye seemed to hear a series of hammer sounds, but the many knocks were connected together, making it difficult for him to distinguish the real from the fake.

"Whether it is to refine array flags or spiritual weapons, you need to have a strong control over your own power. The biggest reason why array flags and spiritual weapons can play a role is the restrictions imprinted in them. Without restrictions, no matter how precious the materials are, they are just an empty shell. Excellent weapon refiners can change the internal structure of spiritual weapons in the process of forging weapons and refining weapons, thereby forming those restrictions. Some weapon refiners can even use one material to forge a weapon blank, and then use another material to create restrictions. Combining the two can make the power of spiritual weapons stronger, but that requires very advanced skills. I don't have any talent in this way and can't do this."

Along with Bai Qian's words, there were also the sounds of knocking. Lu Ye observed carefully and found that every time he knocked down, the hammer would shake violently, which could form the dense hammer sound. With the insight of the spiritual pattern blessing eyes, Lu Ye saw more clearly. As Bai Qian said, as he knocked, the internal structure of the weapon blank was undergoing subtle changes, thus forming a series of restrictions.

"That's why I said that people like you who are the main element of the five elements, fire, and have practiced fire-related skills have a unique advantage in forging weapons and refining equipment. When you have advanced skills in the future, you don't need to use external objects to refine what you want in the air, and you can use many skills at will. But your current cultivation is still low, don't think about these, laying a solid foundation is the most important thing."

"Yes."

The sound of ding-dong continued to ring, and in just an incense stick of time, a small formation flag the size of a palm was out of the furnace.

The formation flag is just a carrier, and the restrictions inside the formation flag are the key. Depending on the restrictions, the role that the formation flag can play is also different. However, a single formation flag is useless. Different formation flags are connected with each other, so that the formation can be set up and broken.

After watching it from beginning to end, Lu Ye found that forging the formation flag itself is not difficult. It can be said that as long as there is a mold, you can easily make a rough blank of the formation flag, even if it is ugly. It doesn't matter. The difficulty is to create a restriction in the formation flag.

This is different from him using his own spiritual power to construct spiritual patterns. He has a high level of control over his own spiritual power, so it is not difficult to construct spiritual patterns learned from books.

Spiritual patterns can be hammered out with the help of a hammer to form a restriction, and it still needs to be formed inside the formation flag, which is extremely difficult.

"Try it!" Bai Qian ordered.

Lu Ye nodded. It is better to do it once than to watch it ten times. Bai Qian has demonstrated to him once how to make a formation flag. Although he did not understand Bai Qian's method, he had to practice it himself to understand this kind of thing.

He took a piece of metal ingot from Bai Qian, threw it into the furnace, waited for it to turn into liquid, and urged spiritual power to wrap it, took it out, and placed it in the mold. After cooling it down a little, Lu Ye grabbed the hammer beside him, recalled Bai Qian's method, and fell with a hammer.

Two rhythmic dings sounded, and as Lu Ye hammered, the spiritual power began to surge.

"It's just the beginning, don't be too anxious. You must first learn how to use hammering to inject your spiritual power into the formation flag, and use spiritual power to change the internal structure of the formation flag. Only in this way can it be possible to construct spiritual patterns in the formation flag and form a ban." Bai Qian taught carefully.

"Yes."

Ding Ding Dang Dang...

Lu Ye was sweating profusely, and Bai Qian gave instructions from time to time. Each instruction was at the key point, allowing Lu Ye to clearly recognize his shortcomings.

Failed again and again, repeated again and again.

Fortunately, this kind of practice will not cause waste of materials. If it is broken, just throw it into the furnace to recast and continue forging.

The soul-washing water given to Bai Qian before undoubtedly played a role. Otherwise, how could Bai Qian personally teach Lu Ye, a person from the outer sect, so patiently.

Until one day later, a somewhat rough formation flag came out.

Bai Qian checked it a little and nodded slightly: "It's not bad, but there are many places that need improvement. Continue."

With the first successful experience, it becomes easy to build other formation flags.

As time passed, a pole array flag was built.

According to Bai Qian's previous teachings, the most basic formation flag has thirty-six poles. With Lu Ye's current level of cultivation, as long as he builds these thirty-six formation flags, it is basically enough.

There is no rush to create a more advanced formation flag for the time being. It will not be too late to consider it after his cultivation level and formation attainments improve in the future.

At the beginning, Lu Ye could only build one formation flag a day on average, mainly because it was too difficult. It was simple to change the internal structure of the formation flag with one hammer, but he wanted to change this structure into the unique pattern of the spirit pattern. It's difficult. Once a mistake is made, it will have to be recast.

According to Bai Qian, a true master of weapon refining can often directly create a spiritual pattern with one hammer blow. In this way, both the efficiency and fault tolerance of the weapon refining are greatly improved.

For monks like Lu Ye who master the five elements of fire and have also practiced fire-based techniques, once their cultivation is advanced enough, they can directly use their spiritual power to change the internal structure of the formation flag, without the need to knock it.

By the time Lu Ye finished refining the most basic set of formation flags, half a month had passed.

As Bai Qian walked out of the forging workshop, under the dazzling sunlight, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel like he was in another world.

"Go back and rest today. I will take you to the Hundred Formation Tower tomorrow." Bai Qian took him back to his residence, gave his instructions and left.

After Bai Qian left, Lu Ye lay directly on the bed and fell into a deep sleep without wanting to move.

It took half a month to refine the formation flag, and I hardly rested during this period, so I was really tired.

When she woke up, Yiyi had prepared a sumptuous meal. Lu Yehu ate a big meal and felt restored to his strength.

Bai Qian arrived as promised, used his spiritual power to wrap up Lu Ye and flew in one direction.

Not long after, the two of them landed in a valley. In the valley stood a stone tower dozens of feet high. The base of the tower was almost ten feet in diameter. A strong sense of vicissitudes of life hit their faces.

This is the purpose of Lu Ye coming to Tianyan Sect, the Hundred Formation Tower.

It's just that his initial thought was too simple, thinking that he could enter the Hundred Formation Tower after coming to Tianyan Sect. As a result, it took him a month and a half just to learn the formation method from Bai Qian and build the formation flag.

But it is worth it in the end, as the saying goes, sharpen your sword and never miss the woodcutter.

Just as the Tianyan Sect had evacuated all the people from the forging workshop to prevent the news that Lu Ye was still alive from leaking out, today the Tianyan Sect also evacuated all the people here, and the valley where the Hundred Formation Tower was located was completely blocked.

So when Bai Qian brought Lu Ye here, the place was deserted.

The Hundred Formation Tower is not complete. From the outside, this stone tower seems to have been cut off from the middle. Only the lower half of the tower body is missing, and the upper half is missing.

Zhao Li told Lu Ye before that the Hundred Formation Tower is divided into three parts, one part is in Tianyan Sect, and the other part is in Yunhe Battlefield. As for the last part, no one knows where it is, and it has never appeared before.

At the base of the stone tower at the bottom, there is a stone tablet. The spiritual light flows on the stone tablet, and occasionally some random lines appear.

Lu Ye stared at it for a while, not understanding what these lines were.

"It is said that this is a list." Bai Qian explained at the side, "Anyone who has entered the Hundred Formation Tower and performed well is qualified to leave his name on this list and be admired by future generations. However, because the tower itself is incomplete, , so there is no way to reveal this list. Perhaps only by making the Hundred Formation Tower complete can this monument regain its effectiveness. "

He turned his head and looked at Lu Ye seriously: "I think you have learned some information about the Hundred Formation Tower these days. There are opportunities in the tower, but there are also dangers. When entering this tower, remember one thing, you must do what you can. "

"yes."

In the Tianyan Sect these days, he had naturally learned about the information of the Hundred Formation Tower from various aspects, and knew that Bai Qian was not exaggerating. Entering the Hundred Formation Tower would be of great benefit to the practice of the Tao. It could be said that the entire Kyushu Haotian Alliance's practice All the formation cultivators would try their best to come to Tianyan Sect to break into the Hundred Formation Tower. Tianyan Sect also welcomed this and did not hold it in a priggish way, nor did it even gain any benefit from it.

But it is undeniable that this Hundred Formation Tower has brought many connections to Tianyan Sect, which is an intangible benefit.

The Hundred Formation Tower is very dangerous. Not only the formations contained in the Hundred Formation Tower are dangerous, but also the benefits obtained after passing the test of each level. These benefits themselves are also dangerous.

There are many formation cultivators who died because of breaking into the Hundred Formation Tower, including some genius formation cultivators from major sects.
