Chapter 134: The end justifies the means

No one expected that Xu Yuanchang, who had made rapid progress in learning Jiugong arithmetic, would waste a lot of money when faced with relatively simple materials.

Cutting and carving the basic triangular, rectangular, rhombus, and circular spiritual wood formations. Carving, drilling, inlaying, arranging, painting, winding, and twisting them seemed clumsy. I couldn't control the proportions. The progress was extremely slow and there was no Work slowly and work carefully.

In addition, detailed work such as using a carving knife to carve out the nine palace formation patterns with the same depth and filling them with spiritual sand is also required.

It took several reworks to finish one piece.

At the end of the day, there is a lot of waste.

Zhao Jun has strict requirements for learning formations. If there are any flaws, he will have to redo them because it is more difficult to make composite formations using materials such as jade, spiritual wood, metal, and crystal stones.

The learned Nine Palace Arithmetic and Calculation Maps cannot be made into various array devices. If they cannot communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they will lose their arithmetic meaning.

Many times, the formation master also needs to add array devices that match the actual changes according to the formation situation and the time, place and weather. It is also called "array guide", which can enhance the variables and power of the formation. This is also the difference between the formation master and ordinary people. The difference between a monk’s rigid formation.

The speed of making the formation guide must be fast, the opportunity is fleeting.

If you don't have a keen sense of tools, you will not be an excellent formation master, and you will only be considered a formation craftsman at best.

Zhao Jun observed carefully for a few days. Brother Xu was not hiding his clumsiness, but was really clumsy.

No gold is pure, and no one is perfect.

He sighed deeply in his heart that Brother Xu wasted his outstanding arithmetic talent.

But also because of his computing power and his far-reaching and terrifying deduction ideas, he has great potential to become an excellent "formation breaker".

But the formation masters are not happy with the real formation masters.

It is easy to destroy but difficult to build.

Zhao Jun doesn't know how to teach the "breaking formation" at the back.

When Xu Yuanchang faced verbal attacks from He Shutang, Yan Yuhan and others, he casually wrote down a series of arithmetic problems and sent them to scratch their heads. Who was attacking whom?

He leisurely used a carving knife to make arrays every day.

Waste and slowness are not terrible, as long as you have money.

In mid-February, the rewards issued by the capital were belatedly arrived. In terms of rewards based on merit, Xu Yuanchang came out on top.

He received a huge reward of five thousand spiritual coins and five second-level crystal stones.

Xu Yuanchang paid back the five thousand spirit coins he owed his boss, and he still had nearly four thousand left. He happily exchanged one of the crystals for ten first-level cryolites.

Lao Shi got three thousand spiritual coins and three second-level crystal stones, and Huabei earned two thousand spiritual coins and two second-level crystal stones for his master. Zhao Jun was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Even Qi Xingshan, Bi He who rushed behind him Each also has a share of one thousand spiritual coins.

Qi Zaixing, who temporarily joined the Heiji Inn Miscellaneous Hospital, was given the comfort of six hundred spirit coins.

So-called everyone is happy.

Except for He Shutang and Yan Yuhan who held their heads and cried.

The boss did not arrange for them to go at that time.

To use Lao Shi's cool words, someone has to be a painful foil.

After finishing studying the contents of the five books, Xu Yuanchang copied one set himself and went to the Taoist Palace to return the books.

I bought a lot of materials for hand training and visited Senior Brother Yin who had long since recovered from his injuries.

Yin and Lan had a "huge" amount of spiritual coins in their hands to support them. After discussion, they planned to go to Jietian City to live in peace and practice for two years, away from right and wrong.

Avoid being framed by the sinister villain Jia Yilong.

It is essential to be on guard against others. The two of them have seen the hope of breaking through and advancing, and they are thinking long-term.

A few days ago, monks from the capital, accompanied by Brother Baijisi, came to their door, showed their identity cards, and asked them twice, all about their exploration of the ruins in Caiyan Mountain, and warned them that in a They are not allowed to leave Qingping City within this month.

Scared the hell out of them.

Afterwards, they invited Junior Brother Xu to drink tea, and only then did they realize that they had almost accidentally gotten into trouble.

Junior Brother Xu didn't say what it was, and they didn't dare to ask around.

Rogue cultivators are most afraid of trouble from the government.

The spring rain is as fine and moist as oil, the fields are green and lush, and the wind does not chill.

Xu Yuanchang slowly landed in Bailin Valley from the vast sky.

He went out alone for more than a month. During this period, he came back twice to deliver books and materials for making arrays to Liu Xianfeng, and then gave him crystal stones as a reward. If there was anything important, he could send a message to Liu Xianfeng.

The girl-like Liu Xianfeng fluttered like a fairy, chattering about the results of her hard work these days.

Various trees are planted on the low hills in the south.

Under the nourishment and construction that she spent her energy on, it was full of vitality, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, and contained countless small mysteries. She arranged several first-order wooden formations she had learned, and also built two tree houses for retreat.

Gather the vitality of wood energy, eliminate some vibration and abnormal noise, and be free from external interference.

Xu Yuanchang followed the girl into the forest that blocked the sky and the sun, looked at the unique scenery, and asked: "Xianfeng, you learned the wood formation so quickly?"

"It's not too difficult. I first learned the whirling tree shadow formation, and then it was much easier to learn the wood energy formation and the nest forest formation." Liu Xianfeng chewed several formation books.

She is a tree spirit, and now she has mastered the ability to communicate with trees. For other formation masters, she found the terrain with her eyes closed based on feeling, and the location was perfect.

She usually likes to carve all kinds of jade and wood by hand, and can make simple arrays at her fingertips.

Throwing it away casually, the array was buried invisible in the ground.

Setting up the first-level wooden formation didn't pose any challenge to her.

She was thinking about how to combine simple first-level formations into more complex formations, but she needed to read a lot of formation books that were so boring that she dozed off.

She wanted to be lazy for the time being, she was very tired from reading.

Xu Yuan was speechless for a long time, and did not ask for more details, asking for trouble.

He still made the array slowly and step by step.

A foot is long, an inch is short, so he did not underestimate himself. He also went to see Liu Xianfeng's masterpiece, the tree house, and felt it for a while inside, and he was full of praise.

With unique ingenuity and the ability to utilize the energy of wood and the luck of the earth, Liu Xianfeng created a good place for cultivation.

Liu Xianfeng smiled and said a few words modestly. She was also very satisfied with her creativity in spawning trees to build a tree house. She remembered something again and said:
"Three days ago, Zeng Lai from Xianqiao Village came to the mountain gate and was ordered to invite you to Xianqiao Village. He said that everything in Xianqiao Village was not going well this year. The young men in the clan fell ill one after another. Perhaps they were hit by another collision. Leixie, please help them take a look."

Xu Yuanchang shook his head in silence and said: "Izumo Temple is not far away, let them hire another Gao Ming."

He now avoids people and things related to Zeng Wanglou and the Mountain God.

Liu Xianfeng smiled and said: "I said, Master, you were out traveling and didn't know when you would return, so I asked him to go to Izumo Temple to help."

He added: "I saw that Zeng Lai was very weak, as if he had lost blood, so I asked him a few more questions. All the men in Zeng Lai's village had symptoms similar to his, with weak hands and feet, weak body, and serious illness. I was dizzy and bedridden, so I asked a doctor to see a doctor, who said he had lost too much blood, but there were no injuries on his body and no symptoms could be found. Such strange things made people in the village panic."

"Excessive bleeding?"

Xu Yuanchang's eyes narrowed slightly.

He suddenly thought that this matter must be closely related to the old turtle released from Caiyan Mountain. The timing was too coincidental.

Lao Gui stayed in the Daning Dynasty and used a magic method unknown to mortals to extract the blood of hundreds of men in Xianqiao Village without leaving any traces of wounds. Lao Gui wanted to start with the bloodline and use some secret methods to detect Zeng Wanglou's whereabouts.

Liu Xianfeng had already guessed the crux of the matter and dissuaded him: "Master, we have thin arms and legs, so we won't get involved. Without the acquiescence and connivance of the masters in the capital, the old demon can't do this."

Xu Yuanchang nodded silently. In order to dig out Zeng Wanglou, the senior officials of Si Tiandian have used all means.

He had to keep his secret close.

In this world, nobility never cares about the feelings of lowliness.

Liu Xianfeng continued: "I asked Zeng Lai about the situation of the Zeng family patriarch and his family. He said that the former patriarch suddenly passed away from a sudden illness last summer, and the four brothers split up and the family was very discordant. Last autumn, the eldest son Zeng died under the roof of his own house. When walking on the stone steps, I stepped on the wrong foot and broke my tailbone and leg bones. Now I have to be waited on by others and feel depressed.

"Fourth Young Master Zeng was addicted to casinos and lost almost all the land, shops and property he was assigned to. His servants were dismissed, and his wife and children suffered from hunger and cold. In less than a year, the lives of the four brothers after the separation became a joke. .”

Xu Yuanchang shook his head slightly and said: "I once told the Zeng clan chief and his eldest son to go to Izumo Temple to ask an expert to do something to resolve the curse cast by the yellow-skinned spirit before his death. They must have not listened. Zeng The eldest son of the family still doubts my intentions, saying, 'It is your own fault that will make you miserable'."

The retribution has already begun, everyone has his or her own calamity, and he will not interfere anymore.

He also has his own calamity to overcome.

The days of retreat in the countryside are quiet and undisturbed.

Hei Xiayi did not arrange for him to go out on a mission.

The discovery of the Caiyan Mountain ruins last time can be worth the credit of several missions.

After school every day, he practices mountain pinching in front of the mountain ridge, makes formation tools, practices flying knives and various spells, and occasionally plays music and chess to enhance his understanding of the use of the Nine Palace Formation.

Spring turns to summer before you know it.

Xu Yuan has been practicing for a long time and is particularly proficient in blindfolding.

He has been able to turn himself into a small tree with unshaken branches and leaves, and hide it in the forest. Of course, it cannot be hidden from the perception of the little tree charm, but it can make the snow grains that are getting whiter and fatter easy to find.

He wasted a lot of materials and built his first ridiculously crude Nine Palace Formation near the mountainside courtyard.

Taking the first step successfully gave him great confidence.

Liu Xianfeng suddenly appeared next to the small tree that the young master had transformed into, and said nervously: "Sir, there are masters coming to our Bailin Valley. There seem to be two of them, so we can't see clearly."

She has a keen sense of danger.

The unexplained heart palpitations and the hint of impending disaster made her very uneasy.

Xu Yuanchang showed his figure and signaled Xue Li'er to go play alone. With a calm look on his face, he flew towards the northeast gate and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, we are monster hunters, we are not afraid on our own territory."

Liu Xianfeng calmed down for a moment, and then heard the instructions in detail:
"You hide it and don't come forward. If something goes wrong, send a summons to the black shopkeeper immediately."

"what?!"
