You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 142: Skyfire Formation! Ninth Level of Qi Refining!

"It shouldn't be difficult to learn the illusion array. The talent of [Seal of the Bewitching Immortals] originally comes from the Bewitching Immortal Fox, whose ability is based on illusion."

"Also, [Hundred Eyes Demon Realm] is also a talent for illusion, so I should be quite talented in learning illusion arrays."

The illusion array is a very important part in building a private territory. Only by making the fake look real can you deceive others.

It must be possible for normal animals, birds, and beasts, as well as monks, to not feel anything unusual when they touch it.

Fortunately, Qi Ping has two animal companions who are good at illusions and can help Qi Ping to find and fill in the gaps in the arrangement of the illusion array.

"Beyond the illusion array, there is a formation to conceal the aura."

"According to the description in the secret book, the difficulty of setting up a formation that conceals the breath is relatively easy. However, if you want to set up a very powerful formation that conceals the breath, you need to study hard."

Qi Ping practiced two martial arts, the Breath-Retaining Art and the Fetal Breathing Art, and had some experience in concealing his aura. In addition, the formations that concealed the aura were generally relatively easy to set up.

Therefore, Qi Ping still has some confidence in the arrangement of this kind of formation, as long as it does not involve the advanced hidden formation.

"So as long as I complete the practice of these two formations and wait for the druid to break through level 5 and advance to tree shepherd, I can choose a place and set up my private territory. The location will allow the bee colony to start looking for it first."

Thinking of this, Qi Ping directly ordered the bee colony to send out a group of bees to start looking for a place in the Yunwu Mountains.

"Buzz Buzz. (Okay, Boss! I promise to complete the task!)"

After arranging this matter, Qi Ping turned his attention back to studying the formation.

"With the illusion array and concealment array, the defense array and attack array can be slowly put in place. Anyway, there are bee colonies guarding the spiritual land, so safety can be basically guaranteed, as long as we are not discovered."

"Finally, in the practice of formations, I can start with the fire formation."

"After all, the art of formation is extremely difficult to practice. It will be much easier if I start with the fire attribute, which is what I am best at. Once I succeed in practicing the fire attribute formation, I can apply it to other areas and it will be much easier to set up illusion formations and concealment formations."

Qi Ping's talent in the way of fire is unquestionable, especially since the true meaning of fire is the manifestation of the first level of the laws of heaven and earth.

The most primitive fire formation was originally based on the power of communicating the true meaning of fire with the help of the formation base. A general fire formation can be set up relatively easily as long as one can simply comprehend the true meaning of fire.

Qi Ping can now directly control the true meaning of fire through spiritual power, which makes him much stronger than many junior formation masters.

However, this is not without use, because the formation relies on the power of heaven and earth. The deeper the understanding of the power of heaven and earth, the more power can be leveraged.

"That is to say, as long as my formation level is improved and my spiritual power can keep up, I can leverage the power of the true meaning of fire with the help of the formation and the formation base, which is much greater than what I can directly control."

From this point of view, we can see the value that the formation can have when it has the advantage of geographical location.

Qi Ping estimated that one of the main reasons why Qingyuan Sect could withstand the pressure from so many fellow disciples of the same level at the same time might be the formation.

Under the premise of having a powerful formation, several sects of the same level may not be able to conquer it even if they put all their efforts into it, or even if they can conquer it, they will suffer heavy losses, and then the fisherman may gain the advantage while the snipe and the clam fight each other. Therefore, Qingyuan Sect will sign some kind of battle agreement with several hostile sects to determine the scale of the war, the number of people, and the strength within an acceptable range, so that no matter how they fight, the foundation of the sect will not be shaken.

After determining the direction of formation practice, Qi Ping devoted most of his energy to learning the formation.

Starting from the most basic theory and then to the basic array operation exercises, Qi Ping studied very seriously.

Before I knew it, more than a month had passed.

After about forty days, Qi Ping finally used the spirit stones to set up his first formation: the Sky Fire Formation!
[Skyfire Formation: A first-level low-level formation. After being successfully deployed, it can condense a fireball to launch an attack.]

At this moment, the Sky Fire Formation set up by Qi Ping covered an area of about one hundred square meters. After Qi Ping entered the formation, he immediately activated the formation, causing it to attack him.

As soon as Qi Ping urged, the formation began to operate immediately. A dozen fireballs began to condense from all directions and then attacked Qi Ping together.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen fireballs hit Qi Ping directly, causing a huge roar and explosion.

"Each fireball has a speed and attack power comparable to that of a fourth-level Qi Refining Fireball Technique."

"If a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining were hit by more than ten fireballs, he would probably be completely destroyed! Even cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining would still be at risk of being seriously injured or killed."

After testing the power of the Sky Fire Array, Qi Ping was very satisfied.

A low-level first-order formation corresponding to the initial stage of Qi Refining actually exerted a force that was enough to threaten the middle stage of Qi Refining. It had to be said that it was extremely powerful.

But Qi Ping took a look and found that the reason why the Sky Fire Array could exert such power was mainly because of his high degree of control over the true meaning of fire. If it were a low-level first-level formation master, it would be impossible to exert the power of the Sky Fire Array to such a level.

"But it's really not easy to practice the art of formation. With my current conditions and talent, it took me a month to successfully set up the first low-level first-order formation, which is a fire formation."

The difficulty of this kind of practice can no longer be described as difficult.

Qi Ping really couldn't imagine how long it would take to successfully set up a formation if he hadn't comprehended the true meaning of fire, didn't have the identity of a druid and the blessing of heaven and earth, didn't have the advantage of his spiritual talent, and didn't have the current cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"It may take a year to successfully set up the formation. No wonder there are not many formation masters. Without talent, it is far less effective than practicing. Or making talismans is a little simpler and easier to make money."

In fact, if other formation masters knew that Qi Ping had transformed from a novice to a first-level low-level formation master who could successfully set up the Sky Fire Formation in just over a month, they would probably be shocked.

Because this speed is already terrifying!

"Now I have just made the initial breakthrough. I believe the path of formation cultivation will be much easier in the future."

After all, Qi Ping spent most of his time in the past month studying the basic knowledge of the formation and practicing the basic skills of the formation. It didn't take him long to actually start setting up the formation. With his unique advantages, Qi Ping successfully set up the Sky Fire Formation shortly after experimenting.

After all, with Qi Ping's current conditions, learning a first-order low-level formation can really be considered a dimensionality reduction attack.

It is worth mentioning that during this period of time, with sufficient honey supply, Qi Ping's cultivation level naturally broke through the ninth level of Qi Refining without encountering any obstacles in the middle.
