Insect-Killing Formation
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao returned to the mound of earth behind the sect's main hall.
Now that he has all the materials, he can finally begin synthesizing the Artifact Refining Hall and the Formation Hall!
Since Tietou wasn't around, he could only put the soil into his private stash first, and then, when he opened the Building Synthesizer, he would throw it in according to the amount he had calculated.
Because he thought that the refining process would be quite large and would require Dayi space, Lin Xiao put in more soil and wood.
After putting those two items in, Lin Xiao added the Star and Moon Hammer and Purple Gold Cauldron that he had just bought from the store.
Next comes the waiting process for synthesis.
But then, a notification suddenly popped up:
[Should the currently synthesized Artifact Refining Hall share the Red Lotus Lava as its fire source with the Alchemy Chamber?]
Upon seeing this message, Lin Xiao paused for a moment, then decisively selected "yes".
The system's thoughtfulness is truly not just empty words.
After a while, the Artifact Refining Hall was ready.
[Ding-- Artifact Refining Hall forging successful. Please select a placement location.]
A tall building, about ten square meters larger than the talisman-making room, appeared before Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao placed it next to the talisman-making room, about five meters away. He thought that he could plant some flowers and plants here to beautify the environment.
[Congratulations, host! The Artifact Refining Hall has been successfully built. The sect construction task [Sect Facilities (5)] has been completed. The reward has been sent to your private treasury. Please check your account.]
He didn't check the reward immediately, but instead quickly merged the Formation Hall as well.
The process is the same: put the various materials into the Building Synthesizer one by one.
After a while, the system, undeterred by the inconvenience, sounded the notification tone again:
[Ding-- Formation Hall successfully synthesized. Please select a placement location.]
The easygoing Lin Xiao didn't agonize over the location for long. Without a second thought, he placed the Formation Hall next to the Artifact Refining Hall, five meters away, next to the Artifact Refining Hall and the Talisman Making Room.
Thus, these three places for making talismans, refining weapons, and creating formations stood facing each other across a large open space behind the sect's main hall from the opposite side of the Alchemy Chamber.
[Congratulations, host! The Formation Hall has been successfully built. The sect construction task [Sect Facilities (6)] has been completed. The reward has been sent to your private treasury. Please check your account.]
However, the next moment, the busy system notification sounded in Lin Xiao's mind once again:
[Ding--Congratulations, host, on the initial completion of the sect's infrastructure construction. Now the host's sect has the learning and production places corresponding to the four basic skills: Alchemy Chamber, talisman making room, Artifact Refining Hall, and Formation Hall. Therefore, technical talents are also indispensable. The development of a sect cannot be separated from the support of various technical talents.]
Please train professional talents for the sect, with at least one talent rated as Rank 1 for each technology.
Friendly reminder: The rating system is divided into nine grades, from lowest to highest: Grade 1 to Grade 9.
After finally completing three tasks, the system diligently assigned him another one immediately.
Lin Xiao, who no longer lacks Spirit Stone, said he wasn't really interested in doing missions.
He glanced at it hastily and then closed the task.
Since there's no time limit for the task, let's take it slow.
He still needs to hurry up and cultivate; there are still a bunch of seeds waiting to be planted in his private treasury, and he also needs to go mining.
He's so busy.
Sigh, it's really not easy being the leader of a newly established sect.
Now that all three buildings are completed, Lin Xiao still hasn't gone to the cultivation room.
He opened his private account to check the rewards for the mission he had just completed.
X more items have appeared in the private treasury.
[Complete Compendium of Basic Artifact Refining Techniques x1, Complete Collection of Basic Array Engraving x1, 100 kg of Mystic Iron, 10 High -Heaven Rank Array Stones]
Oh, and there are two hundred more Spirit Stone.
Lin Xiao was curious about what basic formations were, so he took out the "Complete Collection of Basic Array Engraving." It looked like a small booklet in his private treasury, but he didn't expect it to be such a heavy book in his hands.
He glanced at a few pages casually.
To be honest, this book truly deserves its title of 'comprehensive basics'.
The few pages he randomly flipped through were mostly about thoughtful arrays that were very suitable for daily life, such as "Slight Heating Formation" and "Slight Cooling Formation".
With these formations, a comfortable environment in winter and summer would be a reality.
Although these ordinary temperatures are no different for him as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they can be used by his grandparents who do not have any cultivation.
Lin Xiao then flipped through the pages again.
Suddenly, he was drawn to a name.
This page actually describes a formation called "Insect-Killing Formation".
Lin Xiao examined it carefully.
A moment later, he looked up from the book with delight.
This Insect-Killing Formation can wipe out all insects within the area; isn't this exactly the kind of array needed for farming?
In those days when farming depended entirely on the weather, besides irrigation and fertilization, the most troublesome thing about farming was pests.
If we were to develop this formation and place it in the fields, wouldn't it save many farmers from a lot of trouble?
He was certain that if his father saw this formation, he'd be grinning from ear to ear.
So Lin Xiao hesitated between trying to create the formation now and practicing it first.
In the end, he decided to focus on his cultivation first.
After all, everyone is currently in the training room.
As the sect leader, he also wanted to cultivate together with everyone!
After making the decision, he temporarily suppressed his eagerness to try carving the formation, entered the cultivation room, and began to calmly cultivate his upgraded "Original Essence Heart Sutra".
Since the "Original Essence Heart Sutra" was upgraded to Heaven Rank, Lin Xiao no longer needs to refer to the original text when cultivating it.
This mental cultivation method seemed to have taken root in his heart. As long as he entered a state of cultivation, the Spiritual Power in his body would naturally flow in accordance with the content of this mental cultivation method.
Speaking of which, Lin Xiao had already checked the "Original Essence Heart Sutra" using the appraisal function.
It turns out that the cultivation technique he was previously rated as S-level, which is the lower grade of the Heaven Rank, is actually a growth-type cultivation technique that can grow with his own understanding during the cultivation process!
In other words, although the initial level of this cultivation method is only the lower grade of the Heaven Rank, as each person's comprehension of this cultivation method increases, the cultivation method may also grow or even drop in grade according to individual comprehension, thus reaching different grades.
Therefore, even if everyone practices the same mental cultivation method, the final results may be different.
Moreover, ever since the cultivation technique was upgraded, Lin Xiao has felt that his cultivation speed has increased significantly every time he practices.
He was still in the county town before, and although he had the help of the Peach Blossom Spirit Gathering Formation, the effect wasn't as obvious.
But he sensed something while practicing at home last night.
Today, the area around Xiushui Village is much richer in Spiritual Qi energy due to the Initial-Tier Spirit Vein of the Lingxian Sect.
Not to mention now, Lin Xiao is sitting in the sect's cultivation room, which is also blessed by Initial-Grade Spirit Gathering Formation.
His cultivation speed is now completely different from what it used to be!
