Chapter 152 Formation
"Qingling Defense Formation!"
"Great Spirit Gathering Array!"
"Earth formation!"
"Stonehenge!"
"Six Phase Array!"
…
Baihefang City is just a small city with limited resources, and the Chi and Lu families also have little savings. Although the formation secret books that Xu Mu finally got in front of Xu Mu piled up in a small mountain, there were very few truly advanced formations.
The highest level among them is still an incomplete fifth-level auxiliary formation.
The world's formations can be roughly divided into three types, attack formations, defensive formations, and auxiliary formations.
Needless to say, there are attack formations and defensive formations. The auxiliary formations include spirit gathering formations, warning formations, phantom formations, heart refining formations, test formations, etc.
"I originally wanted to skip the low-level formations and learn a few high-level formations, but now it seems that is impossible!"
Xu Mu has the system in place and does not need to learn step by step. As long as he can get started, any advanced formation can be improved with the luck value.
However, advanced formations are even rarer than top-notch magical skills and secret arts, because those who can deploy and use large-scale advanced formations are top forces. Even if they are inherited, it is difficult for ordinary people to learn due to conditions.
Array Masters are also the rarest of all professions, and most of these few Array Masters can only set up small formations.
For example, in the area where Liyang Sect is located, you can count the array masters who can arrange large-scale formations of level 4 or above on one hand, and they all arrange the most common defensive arrays and attack arrays.
Even so, it is not easy to invite them. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but it also depends on whether the other party has time.
In this period of time when everything is waiting for things to be done, many foundation-building families are waiting to set up large formations, and the cost will be even greater.
At least Baihefang City has not been able to set up large formations for the time being. There are only some simple small formations to protect some important areas.
If a city wants to prosper, it is essential to protect the formation. Otherwise, safety cannot be guaranteed, and who would be willing to come here.
When Xu Mu was in Baihefang City, the population of the entire city was close to more than 20,000. But now, according to Chi Feiyan's statistics, there are only two to three thousand people in total, only one-tenth of the original population.
It can be seen to what extent Baihefang City has declined.
Of course, most of the areas where the Qinghe Sword Sect is now are in a similar situation. It was really because the Demon Sect was too heavy-handed in the beginning.
This is an objective condition that Xu Mu cannot change. What he can change is to arrange the protective formation first and gain an advantage in future development.
If he didn't bother to take care of the future development of Fang City before his family's destiny started, he would just move to the city if he couldn't.
But now this is his foundation and must be carefully planned.
Xu Mu selected all the similar formations, and then added points to improve each one. The purpose of this was to fuse them together to form an advanced formation.
Finally, after fusing nearly thirty formations, Xu Mu obtained a fifth-level formation, the Five Elements Magic Thunder Formation, which was named by Xu Mu himself.
The main function of this formation is to form an illusion, and it also has some defensive functions.
This is a formation that was fused under Xu Mu's intentional control.
The so-called intentional control means that in the process of selecting formations, he deliberately chooses those that suit his mind, and finally merges them together, naturally tending to the formation he wants.
The reason why Xu Mu chose the phantom formation as the guardian formation was not because Xu Mu had any foresight, but simply because he had a treasure in his hand that was suitable for the formation eye of the phantom formation.
The Demonic Pill of Phantom Thunder Silver Shark!
The power of a formation is not only related to the level of the formation itself and the person presiding over the formation, but also related to the materials used to set up the formation, especially the formation eye which is very critical.
If the level of the treasure used to make the formation eye is high enough, the power of the formation can be increased by several levels.
In fact, Xu Mu wants to use the magical red hydrangea as a formation, which integrates offense and defense. Unlike the current large formation, which can only passively defend, as long as others don't enter the formation, you can't do anything against them.
Yes, the red hydrangea still needs to be soaked in the spirit purifying liquid, so it cannot be used for the time being.
Xu Mu had already obtained the formula for the pure spirit liquid from Lu Jingkong. When Chi Feiyan went out, he also told her to buy the ingredients.
Although the materials for the purifying spirit liquid are precious, they are relatively unsophisticated and not many people use them, so it won’t be a problem to buy them.
If he could wash away the marks on the two magic weapons and then refine them, his strength would be raised to another level.
It has the Bloodline of the Earth Splitting Whale for attack, Purple Cloud Pa for defense, Red Hydrangea for control, and Wings of Flame and Thunder for speed. It means that there is no shortcoming.
Xu Mu now earns five to six hundred luck points every day. Coupled with the previous accumulation and system rewards, it can be said to be quite generous, so he directly upgraded the Five Elements Magic Thunder Formation to the extraordinary level.
If the formations are extraordinary and the skills are magical, the power of improvement is very limited, and its improvement focuses more on "arrangement".
For example, if it originally required 100 spiritual stones to set up a formation, and it took a year, then after upgrading this formation to extraordinary, it only takes a few spiritual stones and a few days, and the difficulty is reduced. Dozens or hundreds of times.
Originally, Xu Mu was worried that there would be no formation materials. After all, it was a fifth-level formation. Even if the most precious formation eye was solved, other materials used to lay out the formation base were not cheap.
Now he discovered that the low-level materials in the family warehouse were enough to piece together.
I have to say that the higher the level, the better.
No wonder there are legends that a certain formation master created a peerless formation with only a few stones.
Xu Mu even had a feeling that if he specialized in practicing formations, his strength might improve faster.
Because the layout of the formation requires very low cultivation level, even in the Qi training stage, the ninth and tenth level formations can be arranged, but the arrangement time is slightly longer, but as long as the arrangement is successful, even in the Nascent Soul stage, there is nothing he can do.
Of course, this is just a fantasy, because during the Qi training period, you can't afford ninth-level and tenth-level formation materials. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Even if the difficulty is reduced a hundred times, she will still be busy getting it together.
Just when Xu Mu was preparing to make the formation base and arrange the protective formation for Fangshi, something unexpected happened.
"what happened?"
When Xu Mu opened the system to check, he found that the family luck column suddenly dropped by more than fifty points, and now he could only increase the luck value by 321 points a day.
In fact, the luck value has not fluctuated in the past few days, and is in a state of slow decline, but the amplitude is very small. Xu Mu does not pay much attention to it. The family has just been cleaned up, the number of people has dropped sharply, and people's hearts are floating. It is normal for the decline to occur. As long as the formation is adjusted. Once the arrangements are made, he believes he will be promoted soon.
But now it suddenly dropped by fifty or sixty points. This is definitely not a small problem.
He released his spiritual thoughts and began to check.
After a long time, he withdrew his spiritual thoughts and said to himself: "It looks like I have to sort it out myself!"
