Chapter 178 Limits

After Mo Hua planned the formation of the equipment refinery, he checked it himself and felt that there were no major problems.

The basic functions were all there, and because they were all independent formations, there was not much correlation, at least there would be no problem in drawing them.

But Mo Hua was somewhat uneasy.

The construction of the equipment refinery was of great importance, and it was related to the cultivation and life of casual cultivators for ten years, decades, or even longer, and there could not be any negligence.

Since he was unsure, it would be better to ask Mr. Zhuang for advice.

Mo Hua went to Zuowangju and showed Mr. Zhuang the planning map of the building formation he had made.

Mr. Zhuang looked at the densely packed formation map and his eyelids jumped, but he was relieved when he saw that the map was just a simple arrangement of single and complex formations, independent of each other.

"Sir, is there anything wrong?" Mo Hua asked.

Mr. Zhuang shook his head slightly, "It's OK."

"Can it be used?"

"Enough." Mr. Zhuang said, and then took out a few pictures and handed them to Mo Hua, "These are also simple architectural arrays, you can refer to them."

Mo Hua took it and couldn't wait to take a look.

The arrays on the architectural arrays were not bad as Mo Hua expected, and they were mainly civil arrays. Single arrays ranged from five array patterns to nine array patterns, and there were also some first-grade complex arrays, but they were not particularly difficult and were still within the range that Mo Hua could master.

It's just that although these architectural arrays are mainly civil arrays, they are mixed with other five elements arrays, and there are many differences in the details.

For example, how to use gold arrays to solidify soil and stone, how to use water arrays to nourish soil and wood, and how to use fire arrays to ensure the heating and lighting of buildings.

The framework looks similar, but there are many details worth pondering.

Mo Hua was so absorbed in the reading that when he came to his senses, he found that Mr. Zhuang was already lying on a chair, resting with his eyes closed.

Mo Hua scratched his head in embarrassment.

Mr. Zhuang opened his eyes and asked with a smile: "How did you see it?"

Mo Hua thought for a while and said: "The formation diagrams you gave me look simple, but the various formations are related to each other, and there are many details in them. I didn't understand them very well at the moment."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Yes, in the various categories of cultivation, once there are more formations involved, the planning, coordination, and mutual generation, mutual restraint, and mutual repulsion of different formations need to be carefully considered... It's good that you can see these ways for the first time."

Mo Hua smiled happily, then thought about it, frowned and asked:

"Sir, although the formations on these architectural formation diagrams pay attention to coordination and mutual generation and restraint when they are arranged, they are still independent of each other. If these formations are connected together, will the effect of the entire formation be stronger?"

Mr. Zhuang showed an intriguing smile, "How to connect?"

Mo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "...Use the formation hub?"

"If you connect them with the formation hub, what will it become?" Mr. Zhuang asked again.

Mo Hua thought about it, a single array connected together is a complex array, so connecting so many single arrays together is like...

"Large complex array?"

Mo Hua glanced at Mr. Zhuang.

"You can put it simply." Mr. Zhuang's eyes were meaningful, "Large complex array, in fact, is called 'large array'."

Large array!

Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat.

The large array that countless array masters dream of and want to draw in their dreams?

The largest, most complex array pattern, and most effective array in the world of cultivation?

Mo Hua couldn't help asking again: "Can I draw it?"

Mr. Zhuang stretched out his slender and white fingers and gently tapped Mo Hua's little head.

"Don't be too ambitious. You haven't even learned the formation well, so don't think about the big formation."

Mo Hua covered his head and chuckled, "Okay, sir."

But he was still a little concerned, so he asked in a low voice: "Sir, what is so difficult about the big formation?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head gently and said helplessly: "The difficulty lies in the formation hub."

"The formation hub?"

Mr. Zhuang asked: "Is the formation hub of the complex formation difficult?"

Mo Hua nodded, "It's difficult."

Mr. Zhuang said lightly: "The complex formation only connects a few single formations, and the formation hub is not easy to learn. The formation hub of the big formation connects hundreds of single formations."

Mo Hua was stunned. Hundreds and thousands?

No matter how many divine consciousnesses there are in the sea of ​​consciousness, it will not be enough.

Even if you exhaust your spiritual consciousness and crush your sea of ​​consciousness into powder, you still can't squeeze out so much spiritual consciousness...

Mr. Zhuang said: "So the first-grade formation has never been drawn by a first-grade formation master. Usually, a second-grade formation master can learn the first-grade formation and become the main formation master of the first-grade formation."

"Main formation master?" Mo Hua asked in confusion.

Mr. Zhuang said: "The formation master who plans the first-grade formation and can draw the formation core of the formation is called the main formation master."

"Why don't you draw them all yourself? Is there any need to distinguish between the primary and the secondary?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "The formation is very large and the formation patterns are numerous. If you draw it by yourself, you will probably be exhausted. Therefore, the formation is usually planned by a main formation master, who draws the formation hub by hand. Other formation masters draw specific single formations on the formation hub structure based on the formation diagram planned by the main formation master."

"Oh." Mo Hua understood.

It takes three stakes to make a fence, and it takes three men to make a hero.

The formation is so huge that it must not be drawn by one person. It requires the cooperation of many formation masters to build the formation.

Such a huge and voluminous project must be a major event, which is crucial to a family, a sect, or even a city or a world.

No wonder many formation masters regard the formation as their lifelong pursuit.

Then Mo Hua thought of the most critical question: "It will cost a lot of spirit stones to build a large formation..."

Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and said, "Although it is a large formation, the scale can be large or small. There shouldn't be too many small formations."

Mo Hua asked weakly, "How many spirit stones will a smaller formation cost..."

Mr. Zhuang showed an interesting look and said with a smile:

"Didn't you dig a spirit mine? If you use all the spirit stones there, you can probably build a small formation. The premise is that the formation master, craftsman, and refiner don't want wages, and the spirit stones needed to activate the formation are not counted."

Mo Hua was stunned.

A complete spirit mine, so many spirit stones, only enough to build a small formation.

If you count the wages and the spirit stones to activate the formation, it's still far from enough...

After all, the formation master who can plan and lead the construction of a first-grade formation is generally a second-grade formation master, and that's not something you can hire casually.

Mo Hua couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when thinking of so many spirit stones.

How rich a family must be to build a first-grade formation. No wonder the whole Tongxian City has never seen a formation.

Mo Hua gave up. Even if he could draw a formation, he didn't have so many spirit stones to build it.

But Mo Hua was still curious: "Can a first-grade formation master really not be the main formation master of a first-grade formation?"

"Generally speaking, this is the case."

"What if it's not normal?"

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua, his eyes slightly fixed, and said slowly:

"If it's not normal, just break through the limit of spiritual consciousness."
