Chapter 115: Learning formations is too difficult? Here's a tip!
However, as spiritual energy was poured into the transmission array, the ten mid-grade spirit stones did not light up at all, and there was no sign of the array being activated.
Chen Fan thought it was because his spiritual power was insufficient, so he increased the amount of spiritual power he was inputting.
But even when his spiritual energy was almost exhausted, the formation still didn't react at all.
Failed!
Chen Fan sat down heavily on the ground with a sigh, feeling utterly exhausted.
The feeling of his spiritual energy being completely drained made him quickly take out a sweet potato and start eating it.
After spiritual energy flowed into his dantian, Chen Fan felt better.
"Something's not right..."
He took out the Zhou Tian Formation and began to study it carefully.
Based on what is said in the formation.
Deploying a formation requires the right timing, location, and manpower to work together.
For such complex transmission arrays to be successfully deployed, all conditions must be met.
Furthermore, all the necessary materials and spirit stones must be of the highest quality, otherwise the attempt will fail.
Seeing this, Chen Fan picked up the materials on the ground and glanced at them.
I figured these things all came from Luoyang's markets, so their quality was definitely not a problem.
The only place where things could go wrong is due to unfavorable timing, location, and people!
Given the circumstances, even Chen Fan couldn't distinguish east from west, north from south, in the world within the bowl, so naturally he couldn't judge whether a direction was good or bad.
As for him, aside from being utterly useless, he seems to be a talented individual.
After much thought, Chen Fan suspected that the problem lay with the timing and location!
He slowly got up, looked around, and then vanished in a flash.
Not long after!
Chen Fan suddenly reappeared.
Holding a compass in his hand, he began to distinguish between east, west, south, and north.
"This is east...this is west..."
Guided by the compass, Chen Fan quickly distinguished between east, west, south, and north.
After marking each direction, he returned to the formation.
Based on the orientation of the transmission array, it needs to face south.
After comparing the directions, Chen Fan realized that the previous orientation was facing east while sitting west.
He quickly changed his position and began setting up the formation again!
Holding his breath, Chen Fan tried to infuse spiritual energy into the mid-grade spirit stone again!
However, even after a large amount of spiritual energy was poured in, the formation still showed no signs of being activated.
He only gave up after Chen Fan's spiritual energy was exhausted.
The eunuchs are exhausted!
Chen Fan lay sprawled on the ground, his face etched with exhaustion.
Compared to alchemy and puppet making, it seems that the art of formations is even more difficult!
Exhausted, he sighed, feeling somewhat disheartened.
Just as Chen Fan was feeling overwhelmed, a sudden idea struck him!
He jumped up and muttered to himself:
"Yeah...we can learn from others..."
The words fell.
Chen Fan vanished into thin air once again!
……
Night fell.
Chang'an Avenue was brightly lit and bustling with people.
Unlike the curfew imposed by the Jianwen Emperor, the Yongle Emperor lifted the curfew.
This led to the opening of several new brothels along Chang'an Avenue, where the girls were all beautiful and gentle.
Chen Fan, who was passing by, couldn't help but stop and watch when he saw this scene.
Of course, he's not quite like those ladybugs.
Others came with the intention of causing chaos and upheaval, but he came purely to appreciate art.
"Young master... please come in and have a seat. What are you standing there for, standing outside?"
"Young master... let me serve you well, come in and have some fun..."
"My lord! Do you think I'm beautiful? Come in and have some fun..."
"Young master... young master... why did you leave..."
……
Faced with a group of brothel women dressed in flamboyant attire and adorned with makeup, Chen Fan lost interest after a couple of glances.
Compared to the graceful dancers in the palace, these people are too vulgar!
Even though these people were so vulgar that they barely wore any clothes, they couldn't stir Chen Fan's cold heart.
He sighed, unable to put it into words, and immediately headed towards the southeast corner of the courtyard.
After walking for a while, there were gradually fewer and fewer people on the road.
Firstly, because this place is too remote, and secondly, because all the courtyards here have been razed to the ground.
As time went by, grass grew on the ground.
Amidst the rubble and ruins, a few stray cats occasionally appear.
Upon arriving here, Chen Fan looked around and then covered the surrounding area with his divine sense.
He had a clear view of every corner within a radius of thirty feet.
After confirming that no one was following him, Chen Fan felt relieved and stepped into the ruins.
He vaguely remembered that this place was a courtyard area, and the cabin was two steps further ahead.
Relying on his memories, Chen Fan searched the courtyard step by step.
He reasoned that although those people had destroyed the market entrance, they might not have destroyed the transmission array.
Even if it is destroyed, there must still be remnants of the formation.
If he could learn something from these remaining formations, he might gain some inspiration.
It was this idea that led Chen Fan to leave the Imperial Stables late at night.
Looking at the rubble under his feet, he quickly found the location of the wooden house.
Just as he had guessed, the cabin had indeed been damaged.
However, from the four directions, there are still some residual transmission array traces here.
Overjoyed, Chen Fan swallowed hard and immediately squatted down to begin studying it.
By lifting up the rubble, he quickly found the key point of the formation in the east.
It was a purple, strange stone, its surface covered with cracks, and it still retained a trace of spiritual energy.
Rare stones are a type of material used to set up formations, and are essential for large-scale formations.
Chen Fan himself set up a small transmission array, which also used similar stones.
Compared to the pumpkin-sized rock in front of him, his rock seemed insignificant.
Chen Fan gently touched the surface of the strange stone with his hand, and was secretly surprised after feeling the complex array patterns remaining on it.
He began to immerse himself in the experience, focusing his mind on understanding it.
From every nook and cranny in the eastern direction to the overall direction, Chen Fan didn't miss a single detail.
Only after fully comprehending the array pattern of this location did Chen Fan withdraw his divine sense.
incomplete!
Many of the array patterns in the eastern position were broken, and Chen Fan only managed to connect two-tenths of them.
The other array patterns were either incomplete or completely gone!
With a sigh of deep emotion, Chen Fan headed south again.
Digging through the rubble and soil, there was a silver nail planted in the ground!
Under the moonlight, it emitted a strange glow.
If you look closely, its surface is also covered with cracks.
Without taking a closer look, Chen Fan began to use his divine sense to comprehend the remaining array patterns in the southern direction.
Following this pattern, he also found the array patterns in the west and north directions.
After fully comprehending it, a medium-sized transmission array, mostly incomplete, appeared in Chen Fan's mind.
Feeling that most of his spiritual energy had been depleted, he felt somewhat dazed.
He felt like his head was about to explode trying to memorize these array patterns.
However, Chen Fan still felt it was worth it.
Without lingering there, he grabbed the four key points of the array, turned, and disappeared into the night…
