Chapter 792: Deep Deduction
This consumption did not make much sense to Zuo Feng. After all, these soul-gathering crystals were not his. Even if he used them all up and did not gain anything, he did not care at all.
In addition, he was completely immersed in the thinking of studying the formation and memorizing the runes at this time, and did not care about the outside world at all. The soul-gathering crystals in his hand were no different from ordinary stones in his hands.
The value of dozens of soul-gathering crystals should be tens of thousands of gold coins if it is a normal transaction price. One can buy one with more than a thousand gold coins.
This price will only appear under normal trading conditions, but because this kind of soul-gathering crystal is often out of stock, some trading houses often use the method of hoarding and then auctioning, so that the price can be doubled or even several times.
Seeing the soul-gathering crystals worth thousands of gold coins turned into ashes one by one under Zuo Feng's continuous use, the city lord almost heard the sound of his heart breaking.
But at this time, there was another heart-breaking sound, and a soul-gathering crystal broke. A sound that made his heart bleed slowly sounded.
"Hey, no more. How can this little bit of Gathering Spirit Crystal be enough? Bring me some more." Zuo Feng looked down at his empty hands and spoke again indifferently.
This time, the face of the City Lord You immediately darkened. He had tried hard not to get angry before, but this time he really couldn't control himself. If there were any changes in this formation, he might still feel a little balanced, but the problem was that apart from the halo that appeared and disappeared again and again, there were no other changes.
What made him even more angry was that Zuo Feng didn't even bother to turn his head at this time, and he shook his open palm in the air twice with some impatience. This was originally a small action, but it almost made the City Lord You explode at this time, because it was as if he owed money and someone came to collect the debt.
Seeing that the veins on the City Lord's forehead were raised, he was about to lose control and explode, but a palm gently patted his shoulder. Turning back to look, the city lord's eyes met Su Lan's slight shaking of her head, and then he seemed to remember something, and the whole person collapsed like a deflated ball.
With a long sigh, the city lord flipped his hand again, and dozens of soul-gathering crystals appeared in his hand. After preparing the soul-gathering crystals in his hand, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the formation of the square. However, it can be seen that the city lord's steps this time are obviously heavier than before.
Zuo Feng felt the cold soul-gathering crystals fall into his palm, and he did not stop, and immediately began to place them. The city lord handed the soul-gathering crystals to Zuo He, turned around and walked back, but after taking two steps, there was a "crack" sound of shattering behind him. This sound made the city lord stagger, and he almost fell down with his cultivation.
He wanted to look back, but in the end he suppressed the impulse. Now the distance to Zuo Feng was too close, he was afraid that he would lose control and slap the boy to death.
Zuo Feng ignored these people, but continued to do his work. The pieces of spirit crystals were sent into the stone pillar, and then various sounds were heard. However, as time passed, more and more crystals broke, and he finally became a little worried.
What he was worried about was that the number of spirit crystals consumed this time was too large, and even the city lord would not have them by then. I am afraid it would not be easy to get them temporarily. I can only stay here for so long. I will leave this place after participating in the competition tomorrow. When, or whether I can come here again, is unknown.
Even if I have the opportunity to come here, I may not be able to enter this place in the villa. There are too many uncertain factors in all this, so this research is very important.
Zuo Feng understood all this, so he felt a little anxious at the moment. This change in mentality also made Zuo Feng's research more and more careful. Not only did he think longer before using the crystal every time, but after using each piece of the Gathering Spirit Crystal, he would carefully observe the subtle changes of the entire stone pillar.
It would be impossible for him to take care of such a large stone pillar at a glance. However, he chose a part of the area to observe every time, so that he could see all the local changes without any mistakes.
When there were only three pieces of Gathering Spirit Crystal in his hand, Zuo Feng suddenly found a subtle change on the stone pillar. This change was indeed difficult to find, but he finally found this special position after checking it bit by bit according to his own ideas.
Just after the Gathering Spirit Crystal was sent into the stone pillar, the same overall halo flow was completely condensed in an instant, but he found that all the changes were not completely synchronized. A position at the lower end of the stone pillar was the first to dissipate after the halo appeared, and the entire stone pillar began to change.
This discovery made Zuo Feng seem to have found some ideas, but he couldn't figure it out completely for a while. This process was not too bad for Zuo Feng, but Su Lan and City Lord You both looked a little heavy, because seeing so many spirit gathering crystals being completely used up, but still no good signs appearing, they both couldn't help feeling a little anxious from the bottom of their hearts.
After Zuo Feng pondered for a while, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, and then he closed his eyes. Outsiders did not know what Zuo Feng was doing, but Amber knew that this was Zuo Feng's real thinking. If Zuo Feng started thinking like this, it meant that what he was considering was definitely not simple.
This way of thinking that Zuo Feng created himself was somewhat similar to meditation during cultivation, which made the whole person completely calm down and think about some extremely tedious and complex problems calmly.
Zuo Feng's brain was different from that of ordinary people. He had telekinesis, so he must have a sea of thoughts. For ordinary people, some extremely complex and tedious things can be sorted out into a train of thought in Zuo Feng's mind, but this kind of sorting is not something that can be done just by saying it.
He had a sea of thoughts, and the amount of memory and information was larger than that of ordinary people, so the various chaotic information in his mind would also become a burden. So Zuo Feng would not bother to sort out all the information in normal times, but he would still do so in special circumstances.
However, this way of thinking and analysis was still a big burden for him. Because in fact he has not reached the stage of soul refining, he just condensed the sea of thoughts through special methods. If he uses the power of the sea of thoughts at his current level of cultivation, it will also cause considerable loss and burden.
So Zuo Feng needs to be completely calm and constantly think and deduce various information, especially when he needs to analyze and deduce such a large and complex formation. He actually does not have a deep understanding of this formation, but it is because the runes in front of him are recorded in the book he has come into contact with, so he has better conditions than others.
Zuo Feng closed his eyes tightly, and there was a dark scene in front of him. It seemed that only his heartbeat sounded in this dark world. Then, this dark world slowly lit up and began to look like glowing mist, but then these glowing mists began to condense and eventually became a stone pillar, which was the stone pillar in front of Zuo Feng at this time.
However, the stone pillar that appeared in front of Zuo Feng did not have so many runes on it. To be precise, the runes on it were only a part of what he had memorized.
The runes on the stone pillar flickered, and then flickering points appeared one after another. If you observe these light points carefully, you will find that they are the positions where Zuo Feng had used the Gathering Spirit Crystal Stone before. These positions were not forgotten by Zuo Feng, but the places where he remembered them most clearly.
Then light threads appeared on these flashing points, and the light threads would extend outward like life, and finally connect with other light points.
Zuo Feng observed in the dark world, such a huge stone pillar emitting light, and there were more and more light spots and light threads on the stone pillar. Finally, Zuo Feng's eyes paused at a position below the stone pillar, where a faint light spot appeared. This light spot was actually not the position where Zuo Feng had used the Gathering Spirit Crystal Stone, but after seeing it, Zuo Feng's face showed a touch of joy.
However, the thinking did not stop here, but Zuo Feng turned his attention to the bottom of the stone pillar again, and then to the interface where the stone pillar and the ground intersected.
After seeing this, Zuo Feng's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and then a sense of powerlessness came along with the pain in his mind.
This is the burden that Zuo Feng brought to himself after forcibly using the sea of thoughts. Zuo Feng believed that if he used this method frequently, it would be extremely harmful to him, and it might even affect his cultivation in the end, and he would never be able to enter the realm of the spirit refining stage.
Zuo Feng opened his eyes and paused for a moment, then immediately held a spirit crystal between two fingers and pressed it on the stone pillar. Because the embedded position was at the lower end of the stone pillar, he didn't even need to stand up. This time, as before, there was a flash of light on the surface of the stone pillar.
Zuo Feng did not stop, and at the moment when this layer of halo flashed out, he pressed the last remaining spirit crystal on the intersection of the stone pillar and the ground.
This time the halo did not dissipate, but after the second spirit crystal was placed, the light increased a little. But this layer of halo is like a candle in the wind, swaying as if it will go out at any time.
But even so, Zuo Feng, You Hesu's eyes lit up at the same time. If they failed again this time, the city lord would probably never give up the crystal even if he killed them. Fortunately, this time the stone pillar finally changed.
