The more than 300 monks who have studied Feng Shui formations have spread out and are conducting carpet-style calculations and deductions around the outer area of Bailian Mountain.
But the speed is really not satisfactory.
Generally speaking, if you want to map the feng shui of a mountain range, you need a professional monk to walk through the mountains bit by bit on foot.
Moreover, within a hundred miles around Bailian Mountain, the area was covered with thick volcanic ash.
This greatly increased the difficulty of finding the ley lines, so they had to search for the ley lines outside the coverage of the volcanic ash.
This makes the exploration scope even larger. If a monk works alone, it will take at least seven or eight years.
Now that more than three hundred monks are working together, the speed can naturally be greatly accelerated, but it will take at least ten days for them to finish sweeping this circle of mountains.
Moreover, the levels of these more than 300 Feng Shui formation masters vary greatly, and there are bound to be many omissions among them.
However, after all, the opponent is Bailian Mountain, one of the four major sects in Dachong Mountain, and finding a breakthrough is already a rare thing.
If it were Shushan, the Five Elements Sword Peak Formation would be extremely fierce in both offense and defense, and simply impeccable, which would be really frustrating.
"Master, I am also a formation master, I should be able to help."
Jiang Li looked at the two thick main mountain veins and 173 branch veins under the mountains below, and decided to do something.
"Well, go ahead, don't force yourself."
Elder He glanced at his young disciple and naturally did not believe that he had much ability in this area.
After all, this kid has only been practicing Taoism for a year. To have reached this level in his practice, he is already a complete genius.
Elder He believed that no matter how good a person's talent was, it would only be this level. Besides, Jiang Li didn't have much energy to learn all those miscellaneous things. Even if he really had talent, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything.
He also knew that Jiang Li was a registered disciple of the Alchemy Hall, but with his skills, he couldn't even cook a pot of medicinal soup.
Later, I studied the Lingke formation for a few days, and I think my level is about the same.
"That person over there is the head of the Formation Hall, your uncle Dongfang Guangling. If you don't understand something, you can go and ask him. Learn more when you have the chance."
Jiang Li responded, turned over and jumped off the flying boat. After a few steps in the air, he arrived at a flying boat loaded with supplies at the back.
To detect earth veins, one must of course not be empty-handed, and one still needs some equipment to assist.
But as soon as Jiang Li came in, he ran into a familiar face.
"Hey, Junior Brother Jiang Li? Why... are you here too?"
The person who spoke was Shen Ruoshi from Tianditang, who had fought with Jiang Li before.
She was holding a compass in one hand and two pulse-finding needles in the other, and was about to leave.
"Senior Sister Shen, are you going to detect the earth veins as well?"
Jiang Li remembered that the other party had never learned the formation, so he asked in confusion.
But then he figured it out. The mysteries of the Earth Dust Sutra would be of great help in exploring the earth's veins. If he knew a little bit about Feng Shui formations, his advantage would be much more obvious than that of ordinary disciples.
"Senior Sister Shen took out two more pulse-finding needles. Could it be that she has found a ground vein?"
Jiang Li was a little surprised. This pulse-detecting needle is a tool used to test the earth's veins.
It looks like a two-meter-long black metal rod. The tip is extremely hard and can easily break through the ground. After being injected with spiritual energy, it can continue to extend and penetrate the earth veins.
The tail of the pulse-finding needle is inlaid with a long hollow glass tube with scales.
This colored glaze contains a kind of golden liquid metal.
The pulse probe looks a bit like a large metal thermometer.
However, its principle is not thermal expansion and contraction, but the mutual generation of the five elements.
Earth spirits produce gold, this is common knowledge in the world of immortal cultivation. The golden liquid metal in this pulse-detecting needle is a metal that is extremely sensitive to earth-attributed spiritual energy.
If the vein-detecting needle is inserted into the earth vein and comes into contact with the earth-attributed power of the earth vein, the fluid metal will begin to expand and grow, so the scale will naturally rise accordingly.
The more rising scales there are, the larger and stronger the earth vein at the point is.
The design of the pulse-finding needle is very ingenious, and it is an essential tool for high-level formation masters.
However, it is not easy to accurately find a vein in a wide area. If you don't have enough vision, you will just be randomly inserting it.
Therefore, most cultivators did not expect to be able to hit the earth veins in a short period of time, and they just took a vein-finding needle and tried it slowly.
Shen Ruoshi came back and took two more, and it seemed that she had found it.
"Junior Brother Jiang, you are joking. I don't have that ability... Yes, Senior Brother Xu Quan has found a vein. I am here to help Senior Brother Xu get it."
"Then... Junior Brother Jiang, I will leave first. You can come and watch later. Senior Brother Xu is explaining the key points of exploring the earth veins."
After Shen Ruoshi finished speaking, she waved to Jiang Li and trotted out of the hold.
After leaving Jiang Li's sight, she touched her burning cheeks and looked at Jiang Li's back with some confusion. What happened to her? Could a foundation-building cultivator also get sick?
"Senior Brother Xu Quan?"
Jiang Li muttered something in the hold.
As Shen Ruoshi spoke, she still had great respect for Senior Brother Xu Quan.
This surprised him a little. He didn't expect that under the suppression of Senior Brother Chu Yunxuan, there would still be someone who could come forward.
It seems that I still can't underestimate the heroes of the world.
He shook his head and looked at the female practitioners who were responsible for distributing supplies.
"Senior sisters, I'm here to get the pulse-finding needles."
When Jiang Li looked over with his mysterious eyes that reflected the Five Elements Sword Peaks, the faces of the female disciples from the External Affairs Hall immediately turned red.
"Okay! Okay...Okay, Junior Brother Jiang...Li."
Several female disciples hesitantly handed the pulse-finding needle to Jiang Li, and it was not until several minutes after he left that they came to their senses.
"Eh? How many pulse-detecting needles did Junior Brother Jiang Li take away just now?"
. . . .
“You see, the direction of this mountain range is majestic and overbearing. It directly cuts off the two rivers and forms a lake at its foot.
"The grass and trees on the mountain are tall and lush, growing very well, which means there must be a ground vein running underneath. Look at the needle point I chose, there is another consideration..."
Below, a senior brother from the Tiandi Hall was talking enthusiastically while pointing at the mountains and rivers ahead.
Dozens of disciples around nodded frequently as they listened, as if listening to your words was worth more than reading for ten years and they had gained tremendous benefits.
In the middle of them, a pulse-detecting needle was inserted deeply into the ground. At the end of the needle, the golden liquid metal had expanded to about 30%.
This is also where his confidence comes from.
In such a short period of time, he was the first one to find the location of the earth vein. Even the elders were not as fast as him. This was enough to prove his amazing attainments in the Earth Dust Sutra.
The disciples around him naturally praised him in various ways. Xu Quan appeared calm on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart.
"Chu Yunxuan, ah Chu Yunxuan! Finally there is a place where you can't compare to me!"
Obviously, he was not very comfortable under the suppression of the senior brother. Now he can finally show his strengths, so he is naturally in high spirits.
However, at this moment, a crisp "bang" sound attracted their attention.
Following the sound, I saw a pulse-finding needle stuck in the ground, and the glass tube at the end exploded for some reason.
Xu Quan frowned as he saw his junior fellow apprentice who had recently been hailed as the most powerful genius in Sutra Valley.
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, we have already searched that area and there is no ground vein there. Don't waste your energy."
"Also, this is wartime, please don't waste important supplies, just leave the things here to us!"
Before Xu Quan could say anything, a foreign monk with a slightly strange appearance next to him began to accuse Jiang Li.
Just two sentences, one sentence to stir up trouble, between Jiang Li and the monks present, implying that Jiang Li did not trust their spiritual detection judgment.
In one sentence, Jiang Li was accused of not knowing the time and overestimating his own capabilities, wasting supplies and holding everyone back at this time!
What he said sounded fine, but his intentions were somewhat malicious! This guy was obviously very dissatisfied with Jiang Li! Jiang Li had some impression of him. He was also a cultivator from the Heaven and Earth Hall. He was the foreign cultivator "Carla" who had attacked his fellow disciples extremely cruelly in the previous sect competition.
Jiang Li ignored him, smiled at Xu Quan, and then spoke.
"Brother Xu, maybe we can try inserting the needle fifty steps southwest."
After saying that, he drew another arrow on the ground, then turned around and flew into the distance.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"What does this Junior Brother Jiang Li mean? Is he teaching you how to do things?"
"Shut up!"
Carla was still fanning the flames, but was stopped by Xu Quan who told her to shut up.
When they got closer, they found that the pulse-finding needle was very strange. Not only did it explode, but there were also streams of golden fluid pouring out from the broken glass tube.
"Brother, what's going on?"
Shen Ruoshi next to her also came to her senses and couldn't help but ask.
"He has touched upon the main vein of the Earth Fire Hundred Caves Mountain!"
Xu Quan's face was uncertain for a while. He had just personally surveyed the land veins here, but he had missed a main vein! If this led to the defeat of this battle, he would be deeply sinful.
At this moment, he remembered the words Jiang Li had left before.
"Go fifty paces southwest and insert the needle."
He muttered to himself, then took a pulse-finding needle from Shen Ruoshi's hand, walked fifty steps southwest, and then inserted it straight down.
The glass tube at the tail suddenly changed, and a golden fluid surged upward until it reached the 70% mark, then slowly stopped.
Looking at the 30% mark he had drawn before, it was obvious that he had hit the edge of a branch vein.
"Who the hell is this Junior Brother Jiang Li?"
He really wanted to use luck to explain Jiang Li's actions, but the ironclad facts completely ruled out this possibility.
"Brothers, you continue to feel for the pulse. I will go and help Junior Brother Jiang Li."
After leaving these words, Senior Brother Xu Quan burrowed directly into the ground and fled at a very fast speed in the direction Jiang Li left.
A group of fellow disciples who were left standing aside looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What should we do then?"
"Why not catch up and take a look?"
Jiang Li flew forward at a normal speed. He did not stop to look for dragon energy. He just landed for a moment from time to time, inserted a pulse-finding needle and drew an arrow, then flew up again.
But the terrifying thing is that every time he dropped the needle, the scale would go up and he never failed.
This unreasonable pulse-taking action finally attracted the attention of the monks above.
The first of the talisman halls in the Sutra Valley is Dongfang Guangling.
Elder Lin Fengying, Feng Shui master of Sutra Valley.
Houhei is the abbot of Tuxing Peak in Shu Mountain.
Master Liaojue, a great monk of Cihang Temple who practiced Zen Buddhism.
Those flying in the sky are all masters of Feng Shui formations from the three major sects. They need to rely on their vision and experience to coordinate the overall situation.
Now, such a shock suddenly occurred.
"Isn't this disciple the young disciple of Senior Brother He? How could he be here?"
Dongfang Guangling knew Jiang Li, but he only knew that the Demon Subduing Hall was lucky enough to have a physical training disciple who was a genius. He had never heard that this disciple had such a unique skill of detecting pulses.
Jiang Li's ability to detect spirits and pulses is no longer just a matter of degrees superior to the four of them.
How can he be said to be looking at Feng Shui or measuring the earth veins? He is clearly just copying the answers. There is no comparison at all.
"With such talent...with such talent...if you can enter my formation hall, your future will be limitless!"
This sentence sounded familiar to the thick-black peak master of the Five Elements Peak of Mount Shu. It seemed that the peak master Wei Wangxuan often said it before. Who was he talking about?
"Master Guangling, Jiang Li's talent in formation is extraordinary. I have taught him a few things before, but I didn't expect that his talent would be so... outstanding."
Elder Lin Fengying, who had a good relationship with Jiang Li, started to explain.
The expression on his face was quite complicated. If he had come out of seclusion earlier, this disciple should have been accepted as his disciple.
At that time, he just felt that it was a pity to miss a good seedling, but he didn't expect that this seedling could grow three meters in one day. It always surprises people, and it has grown to this point in such a short time.
God knows what he missed.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Jiang Li had just inserted another pulse-finding needle and was about to take off to continue, but he suddenly noticed three figures appeared in front of him.
Elder Lin, whose cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage, hurriedly chased after them and stood together with the three of them.
"Disciple Jiang Li greets Uncle Guangling, Elder Lin, and the two seniors."
Jiang Li bowed and the four people looked at him with friendly smiles.
Jiang Li is an outstanding disciple of the Sutra Valley with a good family background. Dongfang Guangling and Elder Lin naturally have a good relationship with him.
He also has a long-standing connection with Shushan and Cihang Temple, so the other two also like him very much.
"Jiang Li, you did a great job. If we win this battle, you will be the first to achieve the credit! But how do you explain this arrow you drew?"
Dongfang Guangling asked Jiang Li very kindly. However, he did not directly ask about Jiang Li's specific talent, but politely did not mention it at all, and instead asked about the arrow on the ground.
This behavior also made Jiang Li feel a little more favorable towards him.
"We originally thought that this arrow represented the direction of the earth vein's flow, but after calculation, it doesn't match. Can you explain it to us in detail, nephew?"
The head of the Formation Talisman Hall has long hair and beard, but due to long-term mental work, his hairline has almost risen into a yin-yang style.
As the head monk, he could clearly say that he did not understand and asked his disciples for advice. Few people could do this.
"Uncle Master, this arrow does not indicate the direction of the earth vein.
"In fact, I discovered that the earth veins in this area have been forcibly moved using a sophisticated formation! Those arrows point to the original locations of these earth veins."
"I think this is quite important, so I marked it with an arrow."
After Jiang Li said this, the four of them had no time to marvel at the stronger talent Jiang Li had displayed, but instead all looked towards the direction of Bailian Mountain.
Their attack plan was actually calculated by the enemy! ヾ(0`) Comrades, thank you for your support, please support
