The Record of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 22

Xu Yuxiu spent another month in this beautiful place.

Finally, I have a thorough understanding of the basic knowledge about formations in "Annotations on Formations".

Her eyes also began to aim at the primary formation.

By a calm lake, under a tree.

Xu Yuxiu held the "Formation Annotation" and flipped through it.

She frowned slightly, as if she was hesitating or thinking about something.

"Which elementary formation should I learn first?"

After a while, she stretched her eyebrows and locked her eyes on a page in the book.

"The Lost Formation, let's learn this first."

The Mystical Formation is a psychedelic formation. It does not require tracing the supply lines of spiritual energy or materials for setting up the formation. It can only be arranged based on the terrain.

And the place she was in right now could be used to practice setting up the Lost Formation.

Xu Yuxiu stood up and began to carefully observe the terrain here.

The psychedelic formation pays great attention to details and emphasizes on confusing the real with the fake.

Therefore, for the details of terrain and terrain, it is necessary to observe extremely carefully.

She first walked around the lake, and then climbed a mountain. Standing on the mountain and looking down, she could get an overview of the whole situation.

Xu Yuxiu's eyes gradually lit up with aura.

This is a spell that array masters must know, spiritual eyes.

It is not difficult to learn Lingmu, and she also learned this spell by the way when she was studying the formation.

Now is the time to try the magic of this spiritual eye.

After opening his spiritual eyes, Xu Yuxiu could see more details.

Looking at the overall situation, she could see a striped road intertwined among the mountains, forests and lakes like a tangle of roots.

It looks like a mess, but if you look closely, you can still see some rhythm in it.

After observing for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Yuxiu took out a pen and paper and began to draw on it.

What she painted was not the landscape, but the striped road.

Moreover, during the drawing, she cleverly added nodes between those lines.

That is this place, the intersection of mountain terrain trends. Only by understanding these intersection nodes can we use these nodes to arrange formations.

This is the advantage of the formation.

There is no need for advanced cultivation in the early stage. Just like in the enlightenment stage, even if you only have cultivation in the Qi refining stage, you can still arrange advanced formations.

But he couldn't arrange a large formation, which was the limitation of his cultivation.

This place is simply not big, just a hundred feet in diameter.

Set against the mirror-like lake water, it is like a mirror, and the surrounding mountains and forests are all decorations on the lake surface.

"This place looks so much like a mirror, why not call it 'Mirror Lake'."

The aura in Xu Yuxiu's eyes faded, she clapped her hands, took the drawn pattern trend chart, and went down the mountain.

After returning to the cave, she spread out the pattern chart and began to deduce the specific formation positions.

"This intersection is unstable and changes frequently, so it is not suitable to be a node."

"The terrain here is too open. Once the formation fluctuates, it is very easy to be seen through. It needs to be improved."

It took several hours to outline and pick, and it was not until dark that she marked the nodes of the formation.

And also marked some terrain that needs improvement.

Xu Yuxiu put away the pen and picked up the formation diagram full of marks, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

Maybe it was because I relaxed my mind and lost the concentration before.

Not long after she was excited, she felt a sense of exhaustion and a sense of hunger in her stomach.

Deducing formations is extremely exhausting.

Xu Yuxiu also didn't expect that the first time he deduced the basic formation would make him so exhausted.

"I'm so tired and so hungry."

She took out a Bigu Pill from her storage bag and ate one. Although her hunger subsided immediately, her fatigue was still there.

"Forget it, let's rest first."

After a night of silence, Xu Yuxiu finally regained his energy and walked out of the cave in the early morning of the next day.

She unfolded the deduced formation map, glanced at it again, and after confirming that it was correct, she went straight to a junction of terrain, and couldn't wait to start trying.

The complete lost formation has 22 nodes.

On the formation diagram, she only drew twelve formation nodes, which was the limit of what she could do.

The effect of the tracking array arranged in this way will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

But this is only her first attempt, she has to practice first.

Xu Yuxiu came to the first junction of the terrain, looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no mistake, she began to gather spiritual power and carve formation patterns on the ground.

Although the formation pattern of the primary formation is more complicated than the basic formation, it is not much more complicated.

Full of confidence, Xu Yuxiu began to carve formation patterns at the intersection points of the terrain.

However, not long after she started her hands, she suddenly paused, and the patterns that had been carved disappeared immediately.

Her first attempt ended in failure.

"what happened?"

Xu Yuxiu put away her self-confidence, and her face became serious.

"You clearly painted it well just now, but why does your spiritual power suddenly seem to be blocked?"

She pondered for a moment, did not find the answer, and decided to try again.

At the second attempt, when she had just drawn the pattern to the previous third, the feeling suddenly struck again.

Her hand paused again, and all the carved formations spread out.

The two successive failures made her complexion solemn.

Xu Yuxiu thought for a while, but still couldn't find the answer.

So, she took out the "Formation Annotation" again and read it carefully.

After some searching, she finally found the answer in the opening chapter.

"It turns out that the problem is here!"

The formation master mentioned at the beginning arranges formations based on the general trend of heaven and earth.

And Yu Chengdao mentioned it in the commentary on the "big trend".

Where the various lines meet, they will repel foreign objects, and the array lines are also counted as foreign objects.

As for the solution, Yu Chengdao also mentioned it.

That is to use one's own cultivation to suppress the repulsive force of the intersection point.

After getting the solution, Xu Yuxiu closed the book and started to draw the pattern again.

The cultivation base of the third level of Qi refining was released, and a spiritual pressure spread from her whole body.

Xu Yuxiu raised her hand, her spiritual power gathered at her fingertips, and she began to draw the patterns again.

This time she drew it very seriously, and as the formation pattern was drawn to the intersection point, she also felt the existence of that repulsive force.

Fortunately, her cultivation base is strong enough to suppress the repulsive force of this node, so there is no pause in the depiction this time, and it is done in one go.

As her last formation fell, this formation node took shape instantly.

Xu Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the formation nodes take shape.

"It actually consumed [-]% of my spiritual power. This is the first formation node, and there are still terrains to be transformed later."

For a while, she felt stressed.

After resting for a while, she headed straight to the next meeting point.

Next, she followed suit.

It took nearly two days to describe all the remaining formation nodes.

The transformed terrain has also been transformed.

When everything is ready.

Xu Yuxiu stood by the mirror lake, and pointed to the sky with a formula: "Let's go!"

There was a change of light and shadow, and then it returned to normal.

If someone enters here at this time, they will get lost in all likelihood.
