Immortal Space

  Chapter 264 Design Matrix

   "I don't know what kind of formation you need to arrange?" The woman in white asked, as if she had no intention of refusing.

  Wang Hong hurriedly briefly introduced the situation in the valley and the desired effect.

  The woman in white thought for a while, and said: "I need to go to the field to investigate first, and then I can design a blueprint for you according to the terrain and the direction of the spiritual veins."

  When Wang Hong heard this, he did not expect that this formation mage had reached such a level. No wonder she enjoyed such a great reputation.

   Array mages are the same as their alchemists in one thing. Ordinary array mages can only follow the example of gourds.

  From ancient times to the present, countless fixed formation drawings have been handed down. The average formation master just learns some of these formation diagrams and then copy them.

   It's like learning a three-talent formation, and then being able to arrange this formation meticulously, you can be regarded as a formation master.

  Some formation masters can only master three or five formations, and when they set up formations anywhere, they use these formations over and over again.

   If you can master dozens of formations, you are considered to be relatively powerful among formation mages of the same rank.

  If the original formation can be changed according to geography, spiritual veins, etc. to better adapt to the environment, this kind of formation master is already a real master in this way.

   As for those who can directly design the blueprint of the formation, it is already a rare one.

  In fact, every field in the cultivation world is similar, most of them learn from the achievements of predecessors, and then use them mechanically.

  After a few people have mastered it well, they can change it slightly and use it flexibly.

   Only a very small number of geniuses can create new things on the basis of learning from their predecessors.

  This is the reason why all kinds of cultivation methods and skill inheritance in the cultivation world are cherished and valued.

  Because there are too few geniuses who can create, and no matter how monstrous a genius is, they must learn and master enough basic knowledge before they can create new things.

  In the world of cultivating immortals, where there is not enough time for practice, who has the time to study these skills carefully?

  Wang Hong is not a genius. The reason why he can create new prescriptions by himself is because he has the space and can have a hundred times the time of others, and he can slowly learn the basics.

  Seeing that Wang Hong seemed to be in deep thought, the woman in white said lightly again:

   "Before going to explore the terrain, you need to pay a deposit first. I only accept this kind of spiritual tea."

  As the woman in white said, she gently shook the wooden box Wang Hong sent.

   She originally planned to study the formation behind closed doors, but she was willing to make an exception because Wang Hong brought out this spiritual tea.

   "I don't know how much Daoyou Cai needs, and I don't have much."

  Wang Hong was afraid that the opponent's lion would open his mouth, so he cried poorly first. After all, if there was no space to help, the production of this kind of Qiulong tea would be extremely low.

   "Then how much do you have now?" the woman in white asked.

   "I only have one catty in hand now."

   This number is already Wang Hong's minimum limit, not because he is stingy, but because according to the preciousness of spirit tea, he can only take out so much at most.

   "Okay, a catty of spiritual tea, I will help you design the blueprints of the formations, and you need to purchase all kinds of formation materials you need.

   If you need me to help you with the specific layout later, you need to pay an additional fee. "

  The two agreed on the price, and Wang Hong paid half a catty of spirit tea in advance as a deposit.

  The next day, Wang Hong took the woman in white to the valley, and scouted the valley carefully for a day.

  After returning to Qingxu City, three days later, the woman in white gave Wang Hong a jade slip.

  The Jade Slips contain the design diagram of the valley formation and the list of materials needed to arrange the formation. There are hundreds of materials listed in it. This is the first time Wang Hong has heard of some materials.

  Wang Hong copied a copy of the material list and handed it to Xu Lun for him to collect.

   After more than half a month, Xu Lun came back to find Wang Hong.

   "Boss, there are still more than a dozen of these hundreds of materials that I can't find. I have already searched all the shops in Qingxu City."

  Xu Lun then handed over a storage bag to Wang Hong, along with a jade slip, which recorded more than a dozen materials that had not yet been found.

  Wang Hong took the jade slip and looked at it, and found that there were some second-order materials inside, and then said:

   "You make two more copies and give each of Zhao Ning and Shouhou a copy. During this time, let's go to various fairs and auctions to have a look."

   Speaking of this, Wang Hong thought for a while, and took out things from a storage bag. There were pill bottles, wine bottles, wooden boxes, jade boxes and other various items.

   "These formation materials must be some rare items. No one would be willing to sell them with spirit stones. Let's exchange these rare materials."

   Stuffed these items into a storage bag and handed it to Xu Lun.

  In Qingxu City, there are quite a few places where the Foundation Establishment Cultivator Fair is held, but it usually takes half a month, or only once a month.

   Sometimes there is no trade fair for several days, and sometimes there may be several trade fairs in a day, so they can only catch one trade fair each.

  After bidding farewell to Xu Lun, Wang Hong sent Liu Changsheng a message talisman, asking him to quietly help find these materials.

   As the former person in charge of Shadow Killer, Liu Changsheng naturally knows a lot of secrets, including some shady black markets.

   On this day, in a hall, dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered and were holding an exchange meeting.

  Wang Hong turned into a middle-aged man, and when it was his turn at the trade fair, he directly reported the names of more than a dozen materials.

   Then his exchange item is the second-order spirit wine, or Yangyuan Dan.

  Second-level spirit wine and Yangyuan pill belong to the hard currency among the foundation-building monks. Almost everyone has a demand for this, and there will be a shortage of these two items.

   Therefore, the conditions he quoted quickly attracted the interest of many foundation cultivators.

  In the end, he exchanged the spirit wine for two pieces of formation materials. Although the others were very interested in Wang Hong's spirit wine and elixir, they could only envy others.

   On the same day, Thin Monkey and Zhao Ning also exchanged a piece of formation material respectively, but Xu Lun got nothing.

   For a period of time after that, whenever there is a trade fair for the four of them, they will definitely participate.

   It's just that Wang Hong's camouflage skills are relatively good, because every time he trades, he will offer attractive conditions, and the success rate of the transaction is relatively high.

  Xu Lun and the other three, because they did not have reliable camouflage techniques, did not dare to make big moves. They were a little timid in doing things, and their transaction success rate was lower than that of Wang Hong.

   It took another three months, and they finally got together the remaining dozen or so formation materials.

  Wang Hong thought that he would not bother the two masters with one thing, so he should ask the female cultivator surnamed Cai to take care of the formation.

   "You don't have spiritual tea anymore, what are you going to use this time as a reward? I don't like ordinary things."

  When Wang Hong found the woman in white again and asked her to help form the formation, the female cultivator asked.
