There was an Eight Trigrams formation in the Wheatfield.
That was the conclusion Yang Qing reached after careful observation.
Thus, he believed that if a Spirit-Communicating Pearl was here, it would surely be at the Formation Eye of the Eight Trigrams formation.
The Eight Trigrams formation was ever-changing and unpredictable. If anything went wrong and Yin-Yang fell out of balance, they would be trapped inside forever, never able to escape.
But where was the Formation Eye?
Yang Qing and Bu Er stood side by side, while Jiang Zhizhou walked around the Wheatfield and offered Yang Qing a new perspective.
"There is indeed a formation here, but the Spirit-Communicating Pearl may not be inside it."
Yang Qing abruptly raised his head. "What makes you say that?"
Jiang Zhizhou pointed at the Wheatfield behind him. "The aura is uniform throughout the formation. If the Spirit-Communicating Pearl were inside it, there would be no hiding its aura."
"No matter what shape it takes, it cannot completely change its aura. But I just walked around the Wheatfield and sensed no unusual aura emerging."
Yang Qing asked, "Are you certain?"
Jiang Zhizhou nodded. "Almost certainly."
"Then what should we do?"

But right now, they clearly had no leisure for that.
"The Spirit-Communicating Pearl may not be in the formation, but that does not mean it is not in the Wheatfield."
As for the Spirit-Communicating Pearl's whereabouts, Jiang Zhizhou actually shared Yang Qing's opinion: it was somewhere in the Wheatfield.
However, they would first have to break the Eight Trigrams formation before them to discover
