Chapter 215 Formation Genius

Chapter 215 Formation Genius
The class of Dinggui class started in the morning and ended when the sun was setting. A group of people holding swords were already standing outside the class.

These people holding swords temporarily act as book boys. When school is over, they will run to greet their masters.

But when Tian Lin went out, Yu'er couldn't get close to Tian Lin at all, and those who were holding swords to welcome their master also watched their master surrounding Tian Lin, a completely unrelated person.

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​what exactly is sword intent? How did you cultivate it?"

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​from now on you teach me the sword, and I will teach you mourning."

A group of people were chattering, all of them wanted to become sword practitioners.

Tian Lin was also helpless, he didn't know how to practice sword intent.

He eats water spirit rice to increase his sword power, but this method only works on him. He can't let these people eat water spirit rice, right?

"My fellow brothers, the methods of practicing sword spirit have been written in great detail in the books by the ancient sages. I am a Huahualang, so how can I have better teaching methods than the ancient sages?"

"Forget it. If someone wants to keep it to themselves, can you or I force them to do it?"

Someone said something dissatisfied and simply left.

But many people present were not unreasonable. Even if they felt that Tian Lin was hiding something, they could understand it.

The group of people greeted each other, then found their own swords and left.

As soon as Tian Lin returned to the cave, he took out the animal skins and other items he brought from the school from his storage bag.

The small cave was suddenly filled with a foul stench.

"Master, what is this smell?"

"This is the homework that our senior brother assigned to us today. He asked us to make talisman paper and hand it in tomorrow."

After hearing what Tian Lin said, Yu'er hurried forward and said, "I'm here to help you, Master."

Tian Lin waved his hand and said, "Since this is a schoolwork, why should we let others interfere?"

He rolled up his sleeves, asked Cui'er to fetch a basin of water, and took the medicine to start tanning the animal skins.

The talisman maker always has medicine made from dried animal skins, and Tian Lin took half an hour to complete the operation.

He cut the animal skin into strips, and then made them into squares of the same size. Then he took the talisman pen and began to draw talismans.

Tian Lin actually had little interest in drawing talismans, but if he wanted to enter Class C, he had to take monthly exams in five elective courses.

He spent the entire night drawing talismans and carving array patterns.

"Whether it's making talismans or setting up formations, I have no talent. As long as I can cope with the monthly exams, I don't need to worry about these few unorthodox courses in the future."

Tian Lin actually has another method, which is the "cold fragrant leaves" in the storage bag.

Fairy Mei picked about twenty cold fragrant leaves from the Goddess Tree and gave them to Tian Lin. These twenty cold fragrant leaves were equivalent to about twenty pieces of enlightenment tea.

The hint of the Enlightenment Tea is that it is a treasure that can be used to comprehend the great Dao, and it is not limited to magical powers and techniques.

Making talismans and arranging formations are among the three thousand great ways. If you use the enlightenment tea to comprehend it, the secret of making talismans and arranging formations will be easily understood.

But Tian Lin was reluctant to use the cold fragrance leaves, as his top priority was the Five Elements Dharmakaya.

But at present, only Tian Yisheng Water Pill can achieve the water-based Dharmakaya. Tian Lin cannot find any auxiliary pills for the other four Dharmakayas.

Tian Lin planned to use [Enlightenment Tea] as a substitute when he lacked auxiliary elixirs, so he would not use it easily.

A few days passed like this, and it was not long since Tian Lin arrived at the Dinggui class, but it was exactly the time for the Dinggui class's monthly exam.

Early in the morning, the entire Hulu Peak and even the entire Wendao Sect were filled with crying.

Because funeral studies are easy to pass the examination, nearly 90% of the outer disciples of the Taoist Sect have studied this subject.

When 90% of the disciples wailed together, wasn't that a sound that shook the nine heavens?
Although Tian Lin had only attended classes for a few days, he also joined the mourning procession.

After the mourning, they had to write a eulogy from memory. Fortunately, the test questions for Class D were not too difficult, and Tian Lin got a "medium-low" grade.

"As usual, the test of formation formation will be set by the candidates themselves."

The person in charge of the monthly exam for Class Dinggui is Senior Brother Changxue, but today, in addition to Elder Xue, Elder Xue is also the examiner.

Also because of the arrival of Elder Xue, a powerful Yuanying stage expert, everyone in Class Dinggui seemed to be particularly serious.

"My fellow disciples, there are twenty-one bamboo sticks in my stick holder. Each of you draw one stick from it, and those with the same number on it can ask each other a question."

After Senior Brother Changxue finished speaking, he suddenly revealed a strange smile and said, "The person who draws the number eleven, I will ask him questions."

The students in Class Dinggui obviously understood the rules, so they knew that these rules were not actually very fair, but no one said anything.

Soon, a group of people took bamboo sticks and finally it was Tian Lin's turn.

He took out a bamboo stick from the stick tube, took a look at the word "肆" on the stick, and felt neither sad nor happy.

Only one fat man held the bamboo stick with a bitter look on his face. He looked at Senior Brother Changxue pitifully and said:
"Brother, how can I compare with you in the art of setting up formations? I admit defeat."

Before Senior Brother Changxue could say anything, the senior teacher above him scolded him, "People of our generation are seeking immortality and the Way, how can we admit defeat? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will banish you to the menial courtyard to be a menial disciple."

The fat man turned pale and dared not speak.

Tian Lin also took a breath at this time, raised the bamboo stick in his hand and said loudly: "I am number four, which senior brother also drew number four?"

After hearing what Tian Lin said, a tall man came out. He bowed to Tian Lin and said, "I am No. 4, Junior Brother Tian, ​​please be patient. Let's wait for the other senior brothers to finish their competition first."

Soon, the two disciples who drew the number "1" came out. After they exchanged greetings, the teaching elder stood up and drew two circles on the huge hillside. These two simple circles were actually restrictions set by the teaching elder. People in the circle could not see things outside the circle.

Tian Lin and the others who were watching watched the two disciples in the two circles begin to set up their formations.

The students in Class D did not have any particularly powerful means of setting up formations. The only materials they had were formation-carving stones and five-element spirit stones.

"Senior Brother Xiao is going to set up a Fire Spirit Formation. He used seven formation stones. Huh? What is Senior Brother Yu doing? Is he going to set up a five-star formation?"

"The five-star formation is not that easy to set up - as expected, Senior Brother Yu failed."

The disciples watching outside the circle were talking in low voices, and because the restrictions set up by the teaching elders could block out sounds, they were not afraid that their voices would be heard by those within the restrictions.

Tian Lin didn’t understand what the Five-Star Formation and the Fire Spirit Formation were. He couldn’t even afford to buy the formation stones and couldn’t carve the formation patterns.

Today was the monthly exam, and he had not worried about his grades at all. He came here just to broaden his horizons.

Soon, Senior Brother Yu on the right started to set up the formation, holding the broken formation stone in his hand with a dejected look on his face.

A quarter of an hour later, Senior Brother Xiao on the left had finished setting up the formation.

The teaching elder standing next to Elder Xue raised his hand, and the restrictions in the circle were removed. The people in the circle could finally see the situation outside the circle and the opponent.

"The disciples on both sides can break the formation now."

After the teaching elder finished speaking, Senior Brother Yu and Senior Brother Xiao exchanged positions.

The two men looked at the open space in front of them, both with vigilance on their faces.

Over there, Senior Brother Xiao walked into the circle where Senior Brother Yu was, holding a compass in his hand.

The formation compass didn't respond, but Senior Brother Xiao didn't dare to be careless.

He took the first step, and then the second.

His tentative and cautious actions seemed a little ridiculous to outsiders who knew the situation.

Many disciples had playful expressions on their faces as they laughed at Senior Brother Xiao.

At the same time, Senior Brother Yu also stepped into the circle that Senior Brother Xiao had set up earlier.

As soon as he entered the circle, the compass in his hand began to vibrate.

He carefully observed the needle on the compass and soon came to a patch of weeds.

Looking at the weeds on the ground, Senior Brother Yu smiled confidently, raised his hand and pointed directly at the weeds.

With this finger, the weeds snapped and revealed their true form, which turned out to be a disguised engraved stone.

Outside the circle, many disciples shook their heads when they saw this.

Tian Lin heard a senior brother next to him say, "Although the formation compass can sense the formation stone, this formation stone was obviously placed in the open by Senior Brother Xiao for Senior Brother Yu to find."

Sure enough, although the engraved array stone disguised as weeds was broken, it actually caused the Fire Spirit Array to be activated.

In an instant, seven fireballs flew in from seven directions in the circle.

Fortunately, not all of the seven fireballs flew towards Senior Brother Yu, so Senior Brother Yu was able to easily block the two fireballs with his flying sword.

But these seven fireballs were just the beginning. Then, a steady stream of fireballs flew towards Senior Brother Yu from all directions.

The fireballs were flying more and more densely, until they were almost unavoidable.

Senior Brother Yu was so busy trying to fend off the fireball that he had no time to look for the engraved stones on the ground.

He rushed around, and after a quarter of an hour he was covered in dust.

Everyone marveled at his strength and felt sorry for him at the same time.

In a quarter of an hour, the fire spirit stone used to activate the formation had already exhausted its fire spirit energy. The formation was finally automatically broken due to insufficient spirit energy.

Senior Brother Yu, who was in a dishevel, was extremely ashamed and angry. He bowed to Senior Brother Xiao opposite him and said, "Senior Brother, your attainments in formations are profound. I am willing to admit that I am inferior to you."

By this time, Senior Brother Xiao already knew that Senior Brother Yu had failed in setting up the formation, so there was no need for him to break the formation.

From the beginning, he had already won.

"Brother, why are you discouraged? Although my formation is better than yours, my alchemy is weaker than yours. Let's go on--"

As soon as he finished the last two words, the elder instructor's nose was crooked with anger: "You two are so bad at setting up formations, and you still have the nerve to brag to each other? Get out of here and take the alchemy exam."

Senior Brother Changxue said, "The rest of you will continue with the formation test, Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Yu will take the alchemy test next."

Fortunately, the venue is large enough, so there is no problem in allocating a piece of land for Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Yu to test their alchemy skills.

Soon, after finishing the formation test, disciples continued to take the alchemy test.

Finally, it was Tian Lin's turn to take the formation test.

Elder Xue, who had been watching coldly, narrowed his eyes at this time and focused all his attention on Tian Lin.

The teaching elder was not blind. How could he not know that Elder Xue came for Tian Lin?

He also narrowed his eyes, wanting to see who Tian Lin was and how he could be valued by a Nascent Soul expert.

But when he found that Tian Lin entered the arena empty-handed, he frowned and thought to himself: "This kid is not only a genius in swordsmanship, but his attainments in formations have also reached the point where he can set up formations out of thin air?"
