After having dinner at the palace with Gongsun Haoyue, Murong Yin, Feng Yue, and others, Jiang Liu went to the Ministry of Logistics alone.
Because the Ministry of Logistics also has its own Forging Division, and it's quite large.
Jiang Liu wanted to see how much difference there was between the furnaces at the Forging Division and those at the Forging Peak of the Star Cloud Saint Sect.
When Jiang Liu arrived at the Forging Division, he startled the busy craftsmen.
Seeing that it was already so late, yet the craftsmen were still working overtime to forge weapons, Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh. Overtime work really is everywhere!
The reason these craftsmen are working overtime here is because the Hall of Governmental Affairs has now introduced a performance-based reward system.
Whoever produces more weapons, and produces them of higher quality, will receive more wages.
With this reward announced, the craftsmen worked themselves to the bone, hoping to earn more money to support their families.
Jiang Liu walked around the Forging Division, leaving with a feeling of disappointment.
Because the entire Forging Division's furnaces were only used for forging ordinary weapons.
It simply cannot reach the temperature required to melt Saint Grade materials.
It seems the only option is to smelt the materials at the Forging Peak and then forge them there.
However, you can take some common materials to the Forging Division's shop to practice and try forging something first.
With this in mind, Jiang Liu decided to stay at the palace for the time being and not go back to the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.
After all, there are many inconveniences inside the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, so it's more convenient to stay in the palace.
After thinking it over, Jiang Liu told everyone about his decision.
No one said anything; they all agreed with Jiang Liu's decision.
Then, Jiang Liu took out all the books he had on him and placed them on the table. He then found the "Array Compendium" and began to study it carefully.
Previously, he had only casually flipped through the "Array Compendium," and after finding the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, he temporarily put it aside without studying it in detail.
This time, he's going to search inside carefully to see which formation is the most suitable for trapping vital energy and spiritual power.
Seeing Jiang Liu engrossed in his book, Gongsun Haoyue, Murong Yin, and Feng Yue decided not to disturb him any further.
They were all engaged in their own cultivation, reading, or handling their own affairs.
Gongsun Haoyue picked up "The Compendium of Qi Refinement" and began to read it carefully. She always felt that she could find the path to advancement in it.
Last time, she only saw the beginning and felt like she had gained some insights.
However, Jiang Liu interrupted her at that moment, and her enlightenment was interrupted in that instant.
Later, when she tried to get back into that state, she couldn't find the feeling.
When she wanted to enter the realm of enlightenment, Jiang Liu had not yet fully controlled the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation. Could it be related to this?
She didn't know if this was the right way to think, but she could clearly feel it too.
The Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation that Jiang Liu controls now does indeed lack a certain unique charm compared to before.
Furthermore, the flow of time inside the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation has now become the same as that outside.
The reason for this result is probably related to the fact that Jiang Liu's spiritual energy strength has not yet reached the Saint Realm.
However, after Jiang Liu took control of the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, she did sense some familiar primordial energy within it.
An even bigger change is that she can sense that the entire Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation now seems to be full of goodwill towards her.
Unlike before, he no longer subtly rejects her.
Gongsun Haoyue slowly flipped through "The Compendium of Qi Refinement," but unfortunately, even after almost finishing the entire book, she still had no insights.
It seems she has no chance of entering the Saint Realm through enlightenment.
Then the only option is to rely on oneself to advance in rank, like Jiang Liu did.
Gongsun Haoyue sighed inwardly and glanced at Jiang Liu not far away, noticing that he was casually pointing and drawing in the air, as if he were sketching something.
The vital energy around him appeared and disappeared intermittently, sometimes surging and sometimes disappearing.
Gongsun Haoyue was astonished, because it was clear that Jiang Liu was not controlling the vital energy around him.
Instead, the lines in his hand were suppressing the vital energy in the surrounding air.
Those lines seem to be able to control the vital energy of that world at will, stopping or moving as they please, gathering or dispersing at will.
Gradually, the vital energy around the Jiang Liu seemed to be affected even more.
Feng Yue, who was cultivating at the moment, was already affected. She raised her head and looked around blankly.
Only then did I realize that my vital energy had suddenly disappeared while I was cultivating; it turned out that Jiang Liu had drawn it away.
Feng Yue took a look and also sensed something was wrong, because the vital energy wasn't being drawn away, but rather being imprisoned by Jiang Liu.
At this moment, Jiang Liu had indeed found a formation that allowed him to Preservation his vital energy and Divine Sense in a place or on an object.
That's the formation he's currently sketching out and setting up— the Entrapment Formation.
Depicting and arranging this Entrapment Formation is not a difficult task.
The difficulty lies in figuring out how to control it and use it against the enemy.
This formation can be arranged into three types: simple, normal, and complex.
Jiang Liu is currently practicing how to set up a simplified layout.
He hadn't expected the Entrapment Formation to be so effective.
The simple formation that was set up casually had already affected Feng Yue, who was cultivating nearby.
This simplified Entrapment Formation can control the Yuan energy around one's body, preventing it from leaking out.
This is a great help when you are in an environment with scarce vital energy or when you cannot get your vital energy replenished.
It can also help people who cannot perfectly conceal their aura to better hide their figure.
If you surround an enemy with it, you can prevent them from receiving the support of the surrounding energy.
It directly trapped his vital energy outside, preventing him from replenishing it.
If such a move were suddenly made while you were fighting an enemy, then no matter what powerful moves your opponent had, they would be unable to use them.
Without sufficient vital energy, even the most powerful techniques will be useless.
Unless he can break the barrier of the Entrapment Formation.
A normal-type Entrapment Formation requires a certain amount of time to set up in advance.
Because it can influence the gathering and dispersing of vital energy within a radius of several miles.
A complex Entrapment Formation requires even more resources to set up.
This is because the complex Entrapment Formation can affect the gathering of vital energy within a radius of tens of miles.
However, its greatest effect is not just trapping vital energy.
Rather, it lies in the word "trapped," meaning it can trap everything around it.
Therefore, one can imagine how terrifying this formation is.
If it cannot be broken, then everything trapped within it will be sealed inside forever, unable to escape.
After all, this Entrapment Formation can even trap intangible and intangible things like Yuan Qi, let alone other things.
Therefore, if this Entrapment Formation is used properly, it is indeed possible to trap all external enemies.
Then annihilate them within the trap, slowly wearing them down until they are dead.
