I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

For monks, the faster they practice, the more time they have to break through and gain a longer lifespan.

Even Song Yushan wanted to build a strong spirit gathering array for his own use, so he could save as much merit as he could.

However, the cost of setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation is much higher than that of the Peach Blossom Formation and the Lost Formation.

The Peach Blossom Formation and the Lost Formation can just use the power of the earth and plants.

The formation blends into nature and consumes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

She also spent time adjusting her formation eyes, and then when she raised the formation to connect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she spent some energy, but nothing else was used, which was equivalent to whoring in vain.

But the Spirit Gathering Array won't work.

Even if the Spirit Gathering Formation does not engrave the formation plate and lays out a fixed formation, it still requires formation jade to be the center of the formation and spirit ink to draw the formation circuit.

Because when the spirit gathering array is running, it consumes the spiritual energy in the array jade, not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

During future use, the array jade will need to be replaced frequently.

Compared with the Spirit Gathering Formation engraved on the formation disk, it means that one less blank formation disk is used.

However, when the formation is engraved on the formation disk, the blank formation disk is already the spiritual material, so there is no need to consume additional spiritual ink.

The formations engraved on the formation plate can also be carried with you.

To sum up, it is more cost-effective to engrave the spirit gathering array for single use.

Only spirit-gathering formations used by multiple people are more suitable for field formations.

After reading it, Song Yushan felt that the Spirit Gathering Formation was no more complicated than the Peach Blossom Formation and the Mysterious Trace Formation, and they were both equally difficult.

The only troublesome thing is the materials for setting up the array.

The formation jade used as the formation eye is a natural jade that can store spiritual energy.

The monks cannot directly absorb the spiritual energy in the formation jade for use, but the spiritual energy in the formation jade can be used to supply the formation consumption.

The formation jade can also be reused. After the spiritual energy inside is consumed, it can slowly absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth to restore the spiritual energy inside.

The monks can also inject true energy into the array jade. After the true energy enters the array jade, it will automatically transform into spiritual energy.

It is said in the inheritance that formation jade also has qualities.

The higher the quality, the more spiritual energy is stored and the higher the efficiency of spiritual energy charging.

Low-grade formation jade is not considered a rare spiritual material.

Like her, when setting up a low-level spirit-gathering array or a low-level strong spirit-gathering array, just use a first-grade array jade.

Song Yushan estimated that the price of this grade of array jade should not be too high.

It's just that I haven't seen it sold anywhere in Linjiang County.

There are many types of spiritual ink.

Spirit mineral ink can be made by grinding crushed spirit mineral into powder and mixing it with purified water and other liquids. Zhenyu is a kind of spirit mineral and can be used to make ink.

Lingzhi ink is made from the juice extracted from Lingzhi.

There is also spiritual blood ink made from the blood of demons or monks.

Spirit mineral ink is mostly used to draw formations.

A blank formation disk needs to be made with spirit wood.

After looking at all the materials for making the Spirit Gathering Array and the Strong Spirit Gathering Array, Song Yushan only had some ideas for the spirit wood used to make the blank array disk.

There are two types of spiritual trees.

A tree from a spiritual tree that is born with aura.

There is also a kind of tree that is a tree demon who becomes a demon after acquiring wisdom.

Spirit trees are treasures from heaven and earth. Song Yushan has never seen them before, but she knows where to find the Tree Demon Tree.

She climbed over the wall and left Ganning Temple, and went around to the valley from the northwest of Cuiping Mountain.

"You want my previous body?" Peach Tree Demon swayed his legs nonchalantly: "That body is of no use to me anymore. If you want, just go and get it yourself!" Song Yushan did not take advantage of her and agreed. When the time comes to weigh it, it will be counted as her purchase.

Without further ado, Song Yushan waited in the valley until nightfall, and then rode Wu Zui back to Fushui County overnight.

In the underworld of Fushui County, I followed the ghost who led the way all the way to the entrance of the underworld in Huli Mountain before exiting.

She wielded the ax to chop down the tree, and the ghosts were responsible for carrying it.

It didn't matter that the spiritual trees were in the afterlife. They were moved directly back to Ganning Temple in batches and piled in piles in the warehouse of Qichiyuan.

The peach tree was so big that it took her three days to chop down all the useful spiritual wood.

Song Yushan returned to Cuiping Mountain and looked at the several warehouses in Qichiyuan that were filled with spiritual wood. He felt at ease.

These spiritual trees only need to be processed and can be used as blank array disks.

She will not be short of blank formation disks in a short time.

Although there are several warehouses of spiritual wood piled up, Song Yushan is reluctant to practice with spiritual wood. She plans to start practicing with ordinary wood.

Once you become proficient in the technique, it won't be too late to use the spirit wood again.

As for ordinary wood, there are a lot of them in the firewood room of the dining room.

When he arrived at the firewood room, Song Yushan picked up a piece of unsplit firewood, sawed it into a wooden board, and then began to process it bit by bit.

During this process, she discovered that it was easier to use gold to move the energy around the wood.

A knife filled with Jin Xing's true energy can peel off wooden boards like peeling a fruit.

She was busy working in the woodshed and chipped away a lot of boards.

But even if it is chipped, it can still be burned on the stove, so there is no waste at all.

The things he made were too ugly and failed too many times. Song Yushan felt like when he first learned the paper-tying technique.

Even making a blank array is more difficult than learning a new array.

It feels like you need to have a foundation in carpentry to be better able to do the job of making a blank array plate.

"Miss? Why are you here?"

Jin Da, who came to get firewood to make lunch, was shocked when he saw the young lady who had been out for several days and came back at some point squatting in the middle of a pile of rotten firewood, covered with sawdust.

"I'm practicing with ordinary wood!" Song Yushan explained: "Are you here to get firewood?"

She pointed to several baskets of scrap wood next to her: "These can all be burned."

Jin Dashan couldn't help but talk about the monk's cultivation. He just looked at the wood and shook his head and laughed: "I guess Zhao Dashan is going to cry today."

Zhao Dashan currently works part-time as a woodcutter in a woodshed to earn extra money.

But now, the scraps of wood that the lady got out can be burned directly.

"I don't have the job of chopping firewood for the time being, so I can still go chop wood!" Song Yushan said nonchalantly.

She strongly supports the students of Monster Academy to earn extra money by working, which can help them integrate into human society. The foundation of being a human being is the ability to make money to support oneself.

But she would not provide youkai students with jobs they didn't need in order to train themselves.

Losing your job is so normal in this world.

Jin Ziranzhi was on the side of his young lady. Not only did he not want to stand up for Zhao Dashan, but he also wanted to watch a good show. As he was about to leave with the firewood, he remembered one thing:

"By the way, miss, Master Qin has been looking for you for several days, saying that he has something important to tell you. Since you are back, go and see what it is!"

The young lady practiced too hard, and Jin Da could not bear to see her getting herself into this state.

Talk to Master Qin and you can always take a break.

"Okay, I'll go as soon as I finish cutting this!" Song Yushan agreed.

With her current level, it would not be surprising if she would quickly chip away at this piece of equipment.

Sure enough, before Uncle Jin entered the dining hall, Song Yushan chased him and went to the front hall. (End of chapter)
