The fifth Foundation Establishment transaction continues to be held.
When Li Yuan arrived, many people were already standing in the yard.
There were nearly half more than last time, and there were some new faces and some old faces that didn't appear.
A cursory glance revealed that they were in their early thirties, and at least a dozen of them had unfamiliar faces. The clothes of most of these people were slightly different from those of the local monks of Liang Province, and the styles of the storage bags hanging on their waists were also different. At a glance, it was obvious that they were from Yun Province.
After the opening, there were a few regular transactions. Resources for resources, Medicinal Pill for Spirit Stone, Law Artifact exchange, and material barter. These are already old processes on Trading Fair. No one needs to say anything. Those who are interested can just get together and talk.
Li Yuan sat down in the corner, first sold a batch of Talisman and Medicinal Pill, and then used Mid-Grade Fiend Stone to exchange for some auxiliary materials that he lacked.
During the transaction break, several Liang Province monks gathered around a middle-aged man who came from Yun Province and asked questions. The man was tall and thin and didn't talk much, but he couldn't resist the curiosity of the people here and he asked questions directly.
"Yun Province Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator How many are there?"
The Yun Province monk thought for a while and gave a rough number.
"Before the war, there were nearly a hundred Rogue Cultivator Foundation Establishment alone."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people around him changed.
Liang Province, if you add up the whole area, Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator is number thirty. The number of nearly one hundred is really beyond their knowledge.
"Why so many?"
"The place is big." The man said calmly, "Yun Province is much bigger than Liang Province and has more spiritual veins. Rogue Cultivator can find Cultivation Resources." There are naturally more places. Besides, Liang Province was beaten several times by the Demon Sect, which severely damaged its foundation. Cultivation Method also lost a lot of resources, so its development will naturally not be comparable."
Someone next to me asked a few more questions.
"Then there are so many Foundation Establishments over there, how come you can't beat Demon Sects?"
"What's the use of having more people." The Yun Province monk smiled bitterly, "Qishui Sect and Fiend Demon Sect were fighting head-on. Rogue Cultivator was caught in the middle and had no time to escape. Many of them died in the chaos. Those who managed to escape were considered lucky."
"And Rogue Cultivator may not necessarily help Qishui Sect, but there are also many who will help Demon Sect."
Li Yuan sat aside and listened without interrupting.
Yun Province has a large number of monks, not only because the place is large, but also because Liang Province was repeatedly ravaged by the Demon Sect, and its foundations were broken too much. Cultivation Method, Pill Formula, and Array inherited the inheritance. Once these things are discontinued, it will not be possible to make up for it in decades.
Trading Fair continued, and the atmosphere in the hospital was noisier than the previous times.
As the number of people increased, the types of transactions also increased. Some people brought out the side materials from Yun Province, which are rare in Liang Province, and attracted many people to look around. There were also people who brought broken Law Artifact and old Pill Formula, hoping to find someone here to help repair or identify them.
Li Yuan When the transaction at hand was almost over, a middle-aged monk came over.
"Young Daoist Li."
Li Yuan looked up.
The person who came had a square face and a short beard. He was none other than Ji Huaiyuan.
The breath is weak but still long, it seems that something Longevity Pill was used.
"Ji Daoyou." Li Yuan nodded.
Ji Huaiyuan didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his intention after sitting down next to him.
"A new Earth Fire was discovered near my home. The location is not deep, but the exit is unstable. I would like to ask fellow Daoist Li to help build a Fire-Guiding Array and guide the Earth Fire to a stable location."
Li Yuan glanced at him.
"Fire-Guiding Array?"
"Yes." Ji Huaiyuan nodded, "There are many small Fire Veins in my area. Similar Arrays have been posted before, but this time the newly discovered Earth Fires are It's a bit off, and the original Array can't cover it. I have the drawings of Fire-Guiding Array and Formation Materials are also ready. What's missing is a Array Master."
"Where's the reward?"
Ji Huaiyuan reached out and took out a Jade Slip from the storage bag and put it on the table.
"This."
Li Yuan's eyes fell on Jade Slip, but he didn't take it immediately.
Ji Huaiyuan explained, "Vein-Guiding Technique, Law Technique passed down from my family. There are many small Fire Veins near my home, so our ancestors figured out this Law Technique that guided Earth Vein. It is not a secret, but it is not easy to buy outside."
"Guide the direction of Earth Vein?"
"Yes." Ji Huaiyuan said, "Not just Fire Vein, but other veins can also be used. As long as the vein itself is not too thick and its direction is not too deep, this Law Technique can be used to guide it to a certain extent."
Li Yuan felt a slight movement in his heart.
Guide the direction of Spirit Vein Branch.
To others, these words may only be considered as a partial auxiliary for Law Technique. But for Li Yuan, the usefulness of this thing is far more than that.
The Fiend Ore under my control is now producing Purple Fiend Stone due to the weak spiritual power of Large Spirit Vein seeping along the underground stone layer. This kind of seepage currently occurs naturally, and the direction and flow rate are uncontrollable.
If there is a Law Technique that can guide the direction of the branch veins, it means that the spiritual power of the spiritual veins can be actively directed in the direction of Fiend Ore.
Li Yuan didn't show this thought on his face, he just picked up Jade Slip and took a look.
"Okay. When will you arrive?"
"Trading Fair can be done after it's over." Ji Huaiyuan said.
After Trading Fair ended, Li Yuan followed Ji Huaiyuan out of Fangshi and walked northwest for most of the day.
Ji Huaiyuan did not bring Li Yuan to the Ji Family Station, but he brought Li Yuan to the mouth of a low valley.
You can really feel the atmosphere of Fire Vein underground around you. When your feet step on the ground, there is a faint warmth in the soles of your boots.
Ji Huaiyuan first took Li Yuan to see the location of the Earth Fire exit.
It is a crack on the north side of the valley. The crack is not wide. If you look inside, you can see occasional dark red light flashing in the depths. Earth Fire emerges from here, but the direction is uncertain, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. The latest one even burned a piece of nearby grassland.
"That's it." Ji Huaiyuan pointed at the crack, "Earth Fire If the exit were further south, it would be able to connect to my original fire circuit. But now this position is more than twenty feet away and out of reach."
Li Yuan squatted down and looked inside the crack, and then used his spiritual consciousness to explore underground for a while.
The direction of Fire Vein is very clear. It extends all the way from the southeast, and a branch branches out here and rises upward. The location of the exit of the branch is indeed offset, and it cannot match the original ignition structure of the Ji Family.
"Did you bring the drawings?"
Ji Huaiyuan immediately took out a roll of array diagrams and handed it over.
Li Yuan expanded and read it again.
The structure of Fire-Guiding Array is not complicated. The core idea is to build a guidance loop between the exit of Earth Fire and the target location to lead the spiritual power of Fire Vein from the exit. Array Eye is located in the lower middle position to anchor the flow of spiritual power of the entire Array.
The drawings are very detailed, with the Formation Materials proportions and node positions marked. Obviously Ji Family has laid out the same kind of Array before, so it has plenty of experience.
Li Yuan wrote down the formation diagram and then began to set up the formation.
Formation Materials is prepared in advance by the Ji Family. Fire Sun Stone, Spirit-Conducting Sand, and Solid-Pattern Iron Powder are all of decent quality. Li Yuan first determines the position of Array Eye, and then lays Main Pattern from Array Eye to both ends.
Fire-Guiding Array itself is First-Order Array, which is not difficult for today's Li Yuan. But what this Array wants to guide is the real Earth Fire, not ordinary spiritual power. The temperature and burning properties of the Fire Vein branch veins are much stronger than the spiritual veins.
Sufficient heat dissipation distance must be left when laying Main Pattern, and the nodes cannot be arranged in a conventional close arrangement. Otherwise, as soon as Earth Fire is introduced, Array Pattern will be directly burned by the high temperature.
Li Yuan followed the idea of the array diagram and made a few fine adjustments based on his own judgment.
The distance between the two nodes is slightly wider, and an additional half-circle of stabilizing lines are added around Array Eye to prevent Array Eye from shifting when Earth Fire is impacted. These adjustments are not big, but they are details that can only be seen after First-Order Array Dao Perfection and Second-Order Array Dao Entry Level are stacked together.
It took more than half an hour to complete the installation of Fire-Guiding Array.
Li Yuan finally inserted a Fire Sun Stone into the position of Array Eye. As soon as the spiritual power was sent, the whole Array slowly lit up. Main Pattern extended from Array Eye to both ends to guide the circuit. It was spread along the ground to the crack. After a while, the heat of Earth Fire was pulled out along the circuit. It no longer spilled randomly from the crack, but followed the direction set by Array and steadily moved towards the original ignition structure of the Ji Family in the south.
Ji Huaiyuan watched from the side. After Earth Fire was safely led away, obvious relief appeared on his face.
"It's done."
Li Yuan stood up and dusted his hands.
At this moment, a familiar wave of perception came from Array Eye.
Array Eye was within three feet, and Panel jumped out.
[Equipable item detected: Fire-Conducting Array Eye (complete)]
[Equipment Affix preview: Array-Fire Resonance (green)]
[Effect: When Fire Element Array is deployed, the power of Array increases by 30%, and the stability increases by 20%]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Master five different Fire Element Array]
Li Yuan swept over Panel, first put Array Eye into the storage bag, and then replaced it with a new Fire Sun Stone to serve as Array Eye, which was not equipped on the spot.
Ji Huaiyuan had already checked the operation of Array, and after confirming that there were no problems, he handed over the previously agreed reward.
"Vein-Guiding Technique, Li Daoyou keeps it."
Li Yuan took the Jade Slip, penetrated with his spiritual consciousness, and the contents inside quickly unfolded in his mind.
Vein-Guiding Technique takes the auxiliary path, not fighting Law Technique, nor practicing Cultivation Method, but a technical Law Technique specifically designed to guide Earth Vein's direction.
When performing it, you need to lock the direction of the veins with your spiritual consciousness first, and then slowly send spiritual power along the surface of the veins, using the interaction between the spiritual power and the veins to shift the direction of the veins little by little toward the target direction.
Law Technique itself is not difficult, the key is that the perception of Earth Vein must be fine enough, and the spiritual power output must be stable enough. The deviation cannot be too large, otherwise the pulse will directly rebound back. It can only be deflected a little each time, and it must be repeated many times to truly change the direction.
And it's not just Fire Vein.
As Ji Huaiyuan said, other veins can also be used. As long as the vein body itself is not a large existence at the main vein level, it is within the scope of this Law Technique.
Li Yuan put Jade Slip away, already thinking about how to use it later.
Over at Fiend Ore, the spiritual power of the spiritual veins currently seeps naturally along the underground stone layer, and the direction and flow are not controlled. If Vein-Guiding Technique is used to guide a branch of the spiritual veins to the direction of Fiend Ore, the penetration will no longer happen randomly, but can be actively adjusted.
The output of Purple Fiend Stone has the possibility of stabilization.
But this matter cannot be rushed. I have just obtained Vein-Guiding Technique, and I still need to practice Entry Level first, and then find a chance to actually try it out to see how effective it is in guiding Spirit Vein Branch.
After leaving Ji Family, Li Yuan returned all the way to Fangshi.
It was getting dark on the road, and the warmth among the hills was diluted by the night wind.
When returning to the stone house, Li Yuan first gathered the materials exchanged for today's Trading Fair and Vein-Guiding Technique Jade Slip, then sat down and began to practice Vein-Guiding Technique.
Law Technique Entry Level is not too difficult, especially Li Yuan has been mounted with Large Spirit Vein for a long time, and his perception of Earth Vein is far beyond ordinary people. The basic content in Vein-Guiding Technique about judging the direction of pulses and the method of spiritual power penetration does not require repeated thinking for him. He can understand 70% to 80% of it after reading it once.
What really needs to be practiced is the rhythm and intensity control of spiritual power output.
This thing is not like fighting Law Technique, just push the spiritual power out at once. Vein-Guiding Technique requires the spiritual power to slowly penetrate along the surface of the vein body, like water soaking sand, not fast or violent. If it is too fast, the pulse body will reject it, and if it is violent, the pulse body will be directly shocked.
Li Yuan simulated several rounds with Spirit Vein Perception in the stone house, and only after the basic operation logic of Law Technique was figured out, did it stop.
If you want to really get started later, you have to find a suitable branch near Mineral Vein Dao and give it a try.
The lights in the stone house were dim, and the sounds of the city outside the window had faded away.
Li Yuan put Jade Slip into the storage bag, sat cross-legged on the futon and continued practicing.
