Chapter 309 Medicine and Food Are Inseparable

Faced with Yang Lanbo's question, Gu Zheng smiled and said, "I happened to take the natural treasures, and my cultivation level has indeed advanced."

Already possessing the true fire of his own life, Gu Zheng's resistance to high temperatures is terrifying. In the current environment, his face is not red, and he is not out of breath. He looks too different from everyone else.

"Natural treasures? What are they?"

Yang Lanbo asked with his eyes wide open, and the others also opened their eyes wide.

"Dragon Blood Fruit."

Gu Zheng lied. After all, the natural treasures such as the Immortal Yuan Fruit are not enough for people who have just entered the early stage of the fifth level to reach the middle stage of the fifth level after eating it.

"It's actually a natural treasure like Dragon Blood Fruit!"

"Master Gu is really lucky to come across such a natural treasure!"

"Who says it's not? In the records of the opening of Shuxu in the past, only the predecessors of Lingjian Sect happened to get a Dragon Blood Fruit."

"Humph, he is just lucky!"

The people of Shushan envied, while the people of Lingjian Sect were a little unhappy. The natural treasure that Gu Zheng took was actually the same natural treasure that their ancestors happened to get.

Gu Zheng frowned. He didn't know that the ancestors of Lingjian Sect had obtained Dragon Blood Fruit in Shuxu.

"This is not right, Master Gu! We are both in the middle stage of the fifth level. I am a little breathless now, but why are you still fine? Even if your internal strength is stronger than mine, it shouldn't be such a gap!" A Shushan disciple said.

"I don't know if you have heard that I am a good cook." Gu Zheng answered irrelevant questions.

"It's time to say these useless things? Master Gu, you have to show off in a certain place, right?" Han Yi said coldly.

"That's right, this is too much of a show-off!"

"No way, who let Master Gu cook well? But cooking is useless!"

Zhu Ming and others from Lingjian Sect immediately echoed Han Yi and mocked Gu Zheng.

"Shut up!" Yang Lanbo shouted, and glanced at Zhu Ming and others with angry eyes: "If I don't get angry, don't you know that I am the steward of this trip?"

"Heh."

Zhu Ming and others dared not say anything, but Han Yi, who was not convinced, still laughed.

After glaring at Han Yi again, Yang Lanbo looked at Gu Zheng: "Master Gu, please speak!"

"I can cook a kind of food. After eating this food, people can have some resistance to high temperatures for a period of time."

For Gu Zheng's light words, everyone's reactions were different.

Because Yang Lanbo obviously valued Gu Zheng, even if some people in Shushan Sect wanted to question him, they didn't say it after all. But the Lingjian Sect was different. They sneered at Gu Zheng's words.

"It's really funny. Are you kidding us, Master Gu? The food you made can make people resist this level of high temperature? Do you really think we are all three-year-old children..."

Han Yi didn't finish his words. Qiu Shan, who was standing next to him, touched his arm inconspicuously.

The experience of Gu Zheng extorting Lingjian Sect's medicinal materials when he rescued Luo Xiao before was as clear to Qiu Shan as if it happened yesterday.

After experiencing that incident, although Qiu Shan hated Gu Zheng, she was a little afraid of him in her heart!

Why did Gu Zheng order the medicinal materials that they had but Shushan didn't? Why did Gu Zheng know that their medicinal materials were carried with them instead of in the camp?

These inexplicable questions made Qiu Shan feel that she couldn't see through Gu Zheng, and he seemed to be wrapped in a layer of fog.

How similar is this scene in front of her to the previous rescue of Luo Xiao? Saving Luo Xiao requires decocting medicine, and resisting high temperatures requires cooking food! This made Qiu Shan shudder, and she couldn't help but interrupt what Han Yi was about to say.

"Eating can make people resist high temperatures, and it's still the current level! If this was said by someone else, I would definitely think it was a joke. However, since this was said by Master Gu, I want to know if Master Gu can still make such food? After all, this matter is of great importance. Now that we haven't seen the blood soul yet, everyone is already a little overwhelmed." Yang Lanbo said seriously.

"Yes, but this kind of food is very difficult to make. The ingredients and medicinal materials I got in Shuxu before have almost been consumed. If you also want to take this kind of food, then you need to give me the corresponding ingredients and medicinal materials."

The blood soul is of great importance. Since it has been involved, and now except for him, the rest of the people can no longer tolerate high temperatures, Gu Zheng decided to use the method of food cultivation to help them.

However, as Han Yi and Yang Lanbo said, eating to resist high temperatures is a very incredible thing! Therefore, even if Gu Zheng is not ruthless, he has to ask for some hard-to-get ingredients or medicinal materials. After leaving Shuxu, he will be asked by Shushan or other sects to do food cultivation. This will be a troublesome matter, and Gu Zheng is most afraid of trouble.

"What ingredients and medicinal materials do you need? Just ask, Sect Master Gu!"

Yang Lanbo did not hesitate. Compared with the resources obtained in Shuxu and the blood soul, he can tell which is more important.

"Okay!" Gu Zheng nodded to Yang Lanbo, and sighed in his heart: "Spiritual Sword Sect, Lingjian Sect, after the last Luo Xiao incident, I didn't want to embarrass you again, but who would have thought that we would meet again so soon. It's okay to meet, why do you still target me? Why do you target me in such an environment? This makes it difficult for me who wants to let you go! Don't blame me, I'm kind!"

"Captain Han, there is no problem with Deacon Yang, and I think there is no problem with Ziyun Palace. What do you mean by Lingjian Sect?"

Gu Zheng looked at Han Yi, his tone and expression on his face were very solemn.

"Gu Zheng, what tricks are you trying to play?"

As if he saw through Gu Zheng's thoughts, Han Yi was really angry, and his face flushed red when he questioned.

Just now, Qiu Shan touched Han Yi's arm, which made Han Yi understand Qiu Shan's concerns, but now this concern has obviously become a reality! Seeing that he was about to fall into the same trap twice, and Gu Zheng always stood on the side of justice and righteousness, Han Yi was so frustrated that he almost wanted to go crazy.

"If you want to treat it as a trick, then treat it as a trick! I just ask you, in this major event against the Blood Soul, does your Lingjian Sect want to contribute food and medicinal materials?" Gu Zheng said impatiently.

"You..."

"Of course my Lingjian Sect will!

Han Yi's irrational words were interrupted by Qiu Shan again.

"What food and medicinal materials does Sect Leader Gu need, then just ask! "

Qiu Shan gave in, at least on the surface. She no longer provoked Gu Zheng with her eyes, and she spoke with a feeling of exhaustion.

Qiu Shan certainly had the same frustration as Han Yi! But who made Gu Zheng always stand on justice and fairness, and who made Gu Zheng always have the means to reverse the situation, which they did not have? In this case, it would be really asking for trouble to challenge such a person.

"I need a total of 28 kinds of medicinal herbs and ingredients..."

Among the ingredients ordered by Gu Zheng, there are a total of 24 ordinary-level ingredients, and the remaining four are medium-level ingredients. And these four medium-level ingredients , Shushan has two, Lingjian Sect and Ziyun Palace have one each.

The things ordered by Gu Zheng were quickly handed over by the three sects.

The people of Shushan and Ziyun Palace were fine, but the people of Lingjian Sect had very painful expressions on their faces when they handed over those things! After all, they had been allied with Shushan a long time ago, and then they followed the blood soul all the way, and they could not concentrate on finding resources like Gu Zheng, so their gains were naturally very limited! Now that they were slaughtered by Gu Zheng twice in a row, it would be strange if they could relax.

"If they were asked to hand over some fairy fruits, it would be even more perfect!" The voice of the spirit of the weapon sounded with some regret.

"Be content! Fairy fruits are the most valued resources for those cultivators, they are delicious and difficult to digest!" Gu Zheng smiled.

"Spoil the fun! Do you think I don't know?" The spirit of the weapon said hatefully.

"Master Gu, the food you are going to make this time will not avoid us like the last time you boiled the medicine, right? "

Just when Gu Zheng wanted to say something to the spirit of the weapon, the annoying Han Yi spoke again.

"Yes." Gu Zheng answered very straightforwardly.

"This time is different from the last time. These resources are all the hard work of our three sects! If you don't let us see, who knows if you can use some of them? For the sake of fairness, you should do it to us!"

After experiencing frustration and being slaughtered, Han Yi is no longer as angry as before. He has also seen the situation more clearly. In this situation, it will not be good to openly pick on Gu Zheng.

"There must be rules for everything. I don't let people see what I do. This is also my rule! In the outside world, if you want to see a chef cook a dish passed down from his ancestors, do you think he will agree to it?"

"In addition, don't think that you are the only one who has paid for the resources! To cook this kind of food, there are actually 38 kinds of ingredients needed, and my family has provided 10 of them! "

Gu Zheng sneered, telling lies without blinking.

"Han Yi, I really don't understand, where do you get so much trouble? Since you have already let Master Gu do it, is it meaningful to entangle these details? Look at how much time you have wasted in this time of Master Gu? What if the blood soul successfully possesses you during the time you wasted?"

Yang Lanbo shouted, and a big hat was also put on Han Yi's head.

Yang Lanbo has a good temper, but a good temper does not mean that he has no temper. Han Yi used a big hat to suppress him before, and he didn't forget it so quickly!

"Okay, hurry up and do it!"

Like a defeated rooster, the tiredness that appeared in Qiu Shan's words appeared in Han Yi's words again.

"Everyone wait a minute, it won't take too long."

Gu Zheng left a word and hurried into a fork in the road.

"Is this really the Emei Sect? Under the leadership of this guy, how will Emei develop? "Looking at Gu Zheng's departing figure, Han Yi muttered to himself.

Twenty-eight kinds of ingredients, among which the common ingredients are almost all what Gu Zheng does not have. As for the other four medium ingredients, this is also an unexpected harvest. After all, Gu Zheng agreed to come at the beginning and did not think that he could take advantage of the opportunity to kill people.

However, the amount of ingredients killed this time is very sufficient. Making "Fire Spirit Food Cultivation" is different from treating Luo Xiao. Gu Zheng needs to make a lot of portions for everyone to take.

Put the harvested ingredients into the prehistoric space, and Gu Zheng took out some materials for "Fire Spirit Food Cultivation" from them.

Gu Zheng already has his own true fire, and his resistance to high temperature is already very strong. According to the spirit of the weapon, unless he can make a top-grade ‘fire spirit food’, otherwise ‘fire spirit food’ is of no use to him. After all, the true fire of life in common sense is a magical power that can only be cultivated by cultivators at the level of refining qi and transforming spirit.

With the ingredients Gu Zheng has, it is easy to make a medium-grade ‘fire spirit food’. But this time, the ‘fire spirit food’ is for outsiders to eat, so Gu Zheng does not need to make a medium-grade one. After all, the medium-grade ‘fire spirit food’ is the same as the ‘ice spirit food’ in the Tianshan trip, which will have permanent resistance enhancement. If you make such food for outsiders to eat, it will undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

‘Fire spirit food’ is actually very simple to make. It only needs a common-grade fire attribute main ingredient, plus four auxiliary ingredients that do not conflict with the fire attribute.

Since it was a low-grade ‘fire spirit food repair’, Gu Zheng prepared very simple ingredients, one ordinary quality scorching sun grass, and the other three auxiliary ingredients, all of which were inferior fungi ingredients, because this kind of ingredients were more common in Shuxu!

The flame burned rapidly under the urging of the fire control formula. Although there was no blazing fire, the temperature was a bit scary.

Under the urging of the flame, the water in the pot quickly went from calm to boiling, and Gu Zheng began to put the processed ingredients into the pot one by one.

"If Han Yi and the others knew that in the food repair I did, none of the ingredients they gave were used, and the total amount of these ingredients used was only one twentieth of what they paid! I wonder what they would think?"

All the ingredients have been put into the pot, and they are floating in the water. Gu Zheng looked in the direction of Lingjianzong and others, shook his head and sighed.

‘Fire spirit food repair’ is also stewed, but the seemingly simple stew is actually not simple at all! After all, this is food cultivation, not cooking. This is not something that any casual person can do with the ingredients used by Gu Zheng, even if he has the Fire Control Technique and the Water Control Technique. Because, in order to make a real food cultivation, there are actually many requirements for details, some of which are even unimaginable for laymen!

For example, the Water Control Technique used by Gu Zheng contains a perfect "blending" of various ingredients. Without the "blending" method, the food made is just a little medicinal. With the "blending" method and proper operation, the food made can be called food cultivation.

In the past, when Gu Zheng was cooking food, what he could do with the Water Control Technique was basically simple operations such as locking or replenishing water for the food.

However, now Gu Zheng's Water Control Technique has reached the intermediate level, which is particularly effective when doing food cultivation. And. After entering the third level of the Immortal Gluttony Technique, Gu Zheng still has some abilities that he didn't have before when cooking any food!

The quality of the ingredients themselves has reached the standard, but when cooking, some very small amounts of things in them, if not handled properly, will still have some impact on the taste and even the effect.

This impact is not big, and ordinary people can hardly taste it, but after Gu Zheng's Tiexian Jue was promoted to the third level, he, who was originally unable to perceive these traces, has the ability to perceive them.

Since he can perceive them, when pursuing the ultimate, Gu Zheng can lock them with the water control method and then deal with them, in order to achieve a more extreme taste or effect.

A faint medicinal fragrance mixed with the smell of a mushroom floated from the pot. This time, Gu Zheng did "Fire Spirit Food Cultivation". Not only did he process the traces, he also used the wood control method that had never been used in the food cultivation method before, in order to make the effect of the grass and wood ingredients more prominent. This is also a kind of ability that the wood control method has after reaching the intermediate level.

The food cultivation method is divided into low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade, but in different grades, due to various reasons such as ingredients and operations, there are some fluctuations in the time difference of the effect!

Just like when Gu Zheng made the ‘Wind Speed ​​Food Cultivation’ at the ranking event, he used as advanced ingredients as possible, just in case he couldn’t make a mid-level food cultivation, he had to make one close to the mid-level, so that the effect could last longer.

The ingredients used in this ‘Fire Spirit Food Cultivation’ were too casual. If it was made under normal circumstances, the effect would be very low, and the fire attribute resistance that could be increased would last for about fifteen minutes. But in the current cave, fifteen minutes is probably not enough!

Gu Zheng wanted the effect of this food cultivation to be very close to the mid-level, and the duration would be about half an hour at best! That’s why he took the trouble to process the trace substances, and therefore used the Control Wood Technique.

Not wanting everyone to see what they were eating, Gu Zheng completely boiled the ingredients in the pot and turned them into a brown-yellow soup.

"Spirit of the weapon, how long will the increase time of this 'Fire Spirit Food Cultivation' be?"

It took only ten minutes for the 'Fire Spirit Food Cultivation' to be completed, and Gu Zheng asked the spirit of the weapon in his heart.

"It is different from your expectation. The increase time is only about twenty minutes." The spirit of the weapon paused and said: "The grade of the ingredients used only meets the minimum standard, and you are unwilling to add more auxiliary ingredients. It is very good to be able to use the Wood Control Technique and Water Control Technique to achieve the current level."

"This is also an attempt. After all, the ingredients I used are all plants. If I don't try it, I will never be sure how much impact the intermediate Wood Control Technique can have in such food cultivation." Gu Zheng said.

"So now that you know it, how do you feel?" Qi Ling asked.

"It feels very good!" Gu Zheng smiled and asked Qi Ling: "I have already used the high-level 'Fire Spirit Pill'. Presumably the other Five Elements Immortal Techniques also have pills with similar effects. What if it's mine?" The Wood Control Technique also uses the 'Wood Spirit Pill' to upgrade it to a high level. Is its greatest role in food or combat? "

"I could have not answered your question, but since your attitude is quite sincere, I will reluctantly reveal some of it to you!"

"After the Five Elements Immortal Technique becomes advanced, there will be immortal techniques like the 'Fire Dragon Technique'! However, when it comes to the effect on food materials, the three magical effects of fire, water, and wood are naturally the greatest. Qi Ling smiled.

If Gu Zheng originally wanted to use the Weapon Spirit, it wouldn't be surprising even if she didn't answer Gu Zheng, but she found a way to talk for the change, which made Gu Zheng want to laugh a little.

"It's so arrogant to be sincere and reluctant." Gu Zheng secretly paid.

Qi Ling didn't know that Gu Zheng was laughing at her in his heart, and still spoke in a normal tone: "Since the effect is different from what you imagined, what are you going to do?"

"Just add some ingredients, even though it hurts a little!"

Gu Zheng put three more common ingredients in the soup, and these three ingredients were all fungi.

The power of food cultivation is once again demonstrated at this time! If you are refining an elixir, and you feel that the elixir is not of a good quality, there is no way to remedy it by adding ingredients midway. But the method of food cultivation can be used. As long as there is no real ceasefire and the pot is cooked, it will still be in a state that can be recreated.

"Aren't they just three ingredients that you don't care about at all now? As for why you are so stingy like this?"

Qi Ling's words sounded disgusting at first, but when she spoke, she smiled so happily! It can be seen that she actually likes Gu Zheng's stinginess!

"Stingy? Why are you being stingy? Although I don't care about these ingredients anymore, they are what we have worked so hard for, right?" Gu Jian explained.

"Hehe." Qi Ling smiled and said nothing more.

The addition of the other three ingredients did not take Guzheng much time, and the timeliness of food repair finally reached a level that satisfied him.

Fourteen minutes later, Gu Zheng returned to the passage where everyone was with the prepared 'Fire Spiritual Food Cultivation'.

"I can't smell the medicinal materials I gave you before!"

"Yes, there is no smell at all, not even a trace of medicinal residue can be seen."

"Can eating this really make people resistant to heat?"

Looking at the ‘Fire Spiritual Food Cultivator’ who came from the ancient dispute, everyone started talking about it.

When Gu Zheng brought the 'Fire Spiritual Food Cultivator', he had already used water control techniques to cool it down. The 'Fire Spiritual Food Cultivator' that was originally a soup when it was boiling had turned into a paste after the temperature dropped. body.

Moreover, in order not to let people smell the smell of only fungi in the 'Fire Spiritual Food Cultivator', during the cooking process, Gu Zheng had processed the trace substances through water control techniques and removed the substances that could produce odor. . And this kind of treatment method cannot be achieved by the initial water control method.

"Master Gu, what's this called?" Yang Lanbo asked, picking up a bowl.

"This is called 'amber paste'."

As for the name, Gu Zheng had already thought about it, so he came up with it.

"The name is pretty good, but I don't know how it tastes and works."

After Yang Lanbo finished speaking, a spoonful of 'amber paste' was put into his mouth.

"So weird!"

Yang Lanbo frowned. This 'amber paste' was neither salty nor bitter. It had almost no taste, just like taking a bite of unmodified jelly.

"Master Gu, with so many medicines, how do you make them clear and how do you get rid of the bitter taste?"

Even the amber ointment couldn't stop Han Yi's mouth. After taking a bite, he asked Gu Zheng again.

"What you are asking is also the secret of cooking. For example, you have taken a lot of various elixirs, but can you tell the ingredients inside just by the color? Or, in other words, you Which elixirs have you ever eaten that made you grin with bitterness? Aren't they all melting in your mouth and almost tasteless? And there is naturally a unique way to do this. ”

Gu Zheng replied with a sneer. He really didn't understand why Han Yi asked such a stupid question.

After listening to Gu Zheng's answer, Han Yi also felt that the question he asked was a bit stupid. If the food Gu Zheng cooked couldn't even do this, what qualifications did he have to say that he was a good cook! As for food can increase resistance to heat, this is naturally even more unbelievable.

"Really, I don't know what Leader Han means by asking this?"

"It's hard to talk. If you don't say something, it won't look like him anymore."

"This trip to Shu Ruins, my impression of Team Leader Han has changed a lot!"

Faced with the quiet ridicule of everyone, Han Yi, who could not bear to lose his face, said again: "But this is not like a pill that can be taken in..."

Han Yi couldn't finish his words in the end. Although the amber ointment did not melt in his mouth, it turned into a coolness and filled his limbs within a very short time after entering his stomach! This made him feel like a cool breeze was blowing through him, and the heat in the air was suddenly relieved a lot.

No one paid any attention to Han Yi anymore. They had all experienced the strangeness that Han Yi was experiencing sooner or later. What they were doing now was very consistent, that is, they lowered their heads and swallowed the amber paste that was distributed to them one mouthful after another.

Everyone was originally a cultivator with a high level of cultivation. Although the increase brought by the lower-grade ‘Fire Spirit Food Cultivation’ was not too strong, with this increase, the originally unbearable high temperature became nothing.

“It feels great, it feels like eating a piece of ice in the dog days of summer!” Yang Lanbo was the first person to finish the amber paste, and his evaluation was also very pertinent.

"It feels like the temperature has returned to normal."

"Yes, the original heat is gone! If I didn't know that this was the effect of the amber paste, I would have thought it wasn't hot here!"

"It's amazing. Is this medicine or food? Master Gu, I can't tell the difference."

Facing the question from the Shushan disciples, Gu Zheng smiled slightly: "Medicine and food have been inseparable since ancient times. If you think it is medicine, it is medicine. If you think it is food, it is food."

"What a good medicine and food are inseparable!" Yang Lanbo praised, and then said: "What does Master Gu plan to do with the rest in the pot?"

The people of the 'Fire Spirit Food Cultivator' only ate half, and there was another half in the pot. At this time, many people were licking their lips, as if they would start eating again as long as Gu Zheng nodded. Anyway, no one would think that there were too many ice cubes in the dog days.

"Amber paste can only allow us to resist the heat for half an hour. If we can't find the blood soul and solve it in half an hour, the remaining amber paste will be our support to stay in the cave!" Gu Zheng said seriously.

"Half an hour? In that case, let's get on the road!"

Half an hour is the limit for Gu Zheng, a low-grade 'fire spirit food cultivator', but for Yang Lanbo and others, this time is undoubtedly very short!

So, led by Yang Lanbo, everyone continued to move forward to find the blood soul.

Without the trouble of high temperature, everyone moved forward much faster, and in the next ten minutes, they continued to go deeper into the cave without stopping.

Although the heat in the air could not affect everyone, as they continued to go deeper, the originally wide passage gradually narrowed, and the fishy smell in the air became more and more unbearable.

Everyone understood that the fishy smell came from some kind of Youquan blood clan! And at the beginning, everyone had guessed that this was a nest of the Youquan blood clan! So everyone was not particularly panicked, but became more vigilant.

There were five forks in the road ahead again, like five fingers of a person, and the guidance given by the blood-colored jade talisman was that the blood soul was in the middle fork.

"Squeak!"

There were strange noises coming from all five forks, and the smell in the air was extremely strong.

"Everyone has seen the situation. There are Youquan vampires in all five forks. When we enter the middle fork, it is inevitable that we will be attacked from both sides! I hope everyone will not hide anything and do their best. This is related to the life and death of us!"

Yang Lanbo's eyes were very solemn. It was unknown how many Youquan vampires there were in the nest, and it was still unknown how strong the Youquan vampires were. All of this forced him to be very alert to deal with it.

"Deacon Yang, please rest assured, we will do our best!"

Everyone's answers were also very serious. Now it was time to start the war.

"Deacon Yang, now the underground passage is narrower. I want to know if the magic array and array plate will be affected in such a passage?" Gu Zheng's inquiry seemed a bit inappropriate at this time.

"It will be affected! In such an environment, it is impossible to arrange a magic array to support the sword array, so the sword array will not be able to be used."

"As for the array plate, in such a narrow passage, the 'Three Talents Array Plate' cannot be used, and there are only two array plates that can be used, one is the 'Liangyi Array Plate', and the other is the 'Yuan Array Plate'."

"However, although the large sword array cannot be used, we can still arrange a small magic array to support the small sword array, so our overall combat power is still good." Yang Lanbo frowned.

In the Cloud Valley, the Shushan Sect was able to get a share of the pie in the chaotic environment with the help of the array plate. Later, they used the power of the magic array to arrange the sword array and killed many spirit beasts and Youquan blood clan.

It can be said that the magic array and the array plate are the powerful support for the Shushan side to save their lives in such a large environment.

There are roughly three types of so-called sword arrays.

Primary sword formation: usually a group of people form a certain formation to besiege a stronger opponent, and achieve the purpose of killing the enemy through positioning and mutual assistance.

Intermediate sword formation: like the one arranged by Shushan School in Yunwu Valley, with the help of the power of the magic formation, the practitioners in the formation have simple sword control ability, which can hurt the enemy from a long distance and with great power. Moreover, the magic formation is both offensive and defensive. In addition to enhancing the destructive power of the people in the formation, it can also enhance their resistance.

Advanced sword formation: It can be like the primary sword formation or the intermediate sword formation. The only difference is that the people in the formation have changed from practitioners to immortal cultivators who can already control swords.

The small sword formation mentioned by Yang Lanbo is actually still in the category of intermediate sword formation. It’s just that the magic formation supporting the small sword formation, in addition to the reduced power, has no ability to provide resistance for the people in the formation!
