The runes of the formations in Tianhai Territory are different from those in Lingnan Territory. At the moment, the old demon Shenhua has placed a seal on Shenhua Mountain, and the seal is different from the formation. Therefore, the seal in front of us is a completely new thing compared to the formations in Lingnan Territory.
Qin Ran used his pupil technique to create an illusion world. Looking at the complex, strange and unfamiliar rune patterns on the mountain wall in front of him, he actually felt a little desperate.
Originally, relying on the mathematical knowledge from his previous life, he walked easily and went very far in the field of formations.
If an ordinary person learning the formation is like a baby taking his first steps, then he can be said to be like Bolt sprinting a 100-meter race.
Because his method of learning formations is fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.
For the people in this world, formations are similar to Chinese medicine in Qin Ran’s previous life, and are an empirical discipline.
Our ancestors tried one medicine after another to find out which medicine had what effect; they tried one method after another to find out which method was effective for which disease.
Then they wrote it down and passed it on to later generations, who relied on their records, their experience, and their prescriptions to cure diseases and save lives, and then formed their own experience.
Few people have studied in detail the specific mechanism of each drug. What effect does it have when it enters the human body? This is a black box.
The formation is similar to this.
There were no formations in the cultivation world at first. It was not until the cultivators accidentally discovered that some natural environments that could gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had some common factors that they wrote down these common points. When they went to other places, they found that any place with such characteristics could gather spiritual energy; then, they artificially arranged that environment and found that it could also gather spiritual energy.
This is the original appearance of the Spirit Gathering Array.
Similarly, there are more and more terrains with other functions, and these terrains are named formations.
Then, someone abstracted the characteristics of these terrains and obtained formation diagrams, which were then simplified and turned into formation runes...basic formation patterns.
Arrays were created one after another by the monks, and more and more arrays appeared in the cultivation world. The formation method was developed.
In this process, similar to traditional Chinese medicine, most cultivators only know the function of a certain formation and the function of a certain basic formation pattern, but they do not know why this kind of formation appears when the formation patterns are combined.
They learned them one formation at a time, rather than one pattern at a time.
If the master knows some formation, such as the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, he will pass it on to his apprentice, and the apprentice will only know this formation.
If the master has reservations or has problems with his understanding or memory of the formation, then the formation learned by the apprentice will have problems, and he will not know what to do.
To use mathematics as an analogy, the teacher only teaches how to solve the current problem, but does not teach the solution ideas, nor does he analyze what kind of problem this is and how to solve this type of problem.
Students remember how to solve a problem, but when they take the test, if the problem is slightly changed, they don’t know how to solve it. It is even exaggerated that only the numbers in the problem are changed, but the formula is the same, which will make students feel at a loss.
This can be said to be because the students are dull and not flexible enough in their studies, but it can also be said that the teacher is lazy when teaching.
The formation should be learned from the basic formation patterns, and then the formation patterns should be used to deduce the formation. But this is too difficult, the disciples can't learn it, and the teachers can't teach it, so they just memorize the complete formation.
Kieran was just a student who was more flexible in learning. He had the innate advantage of mathematics. He started from the basic runes and was able to use mathematics to deduce formations from runes and to deduce formations from basic formations.
In terms of formations, Kieran was probably a student who could deduce formulas on his own.
But the situation he encountered now was that the basic formation patterns of the Tianhai Realm were more wild and unsystematic than those of the Lingnan Realm. He did not recognize the basic formation patterns in the seal.
A huge formation that he had never seen before and was composed of basic formation patterns that he was not familiar with. It was extremely difficult to break the formation.
He had to first learn all the array patterns involved in this seal, and then reverse the array formation based on the array patterns here, and then he could break the array.
Not to mention that his computing power is simply not enough to calculate this seal. Just finding this seal... all the basic formations in the entire Shenhua Mountain is not something he can do in a short period of time.
So at this moment, Qin Ran looked at the formation pattern hidden in the mountain wall and felt desperate for a moment.
"It's not that I can't break the seal using my method, but it will take too long." He suppressed his despair and looked at the huge pit beside him, "It seems that I have no choice but to rely on the island owner's arrangements over the years.
"But how exactly is the island owner going to break the seal? And how am I going to get this thing? I still need to think about it from the beginning..."
He withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the other Night Walkers, only to find that they had dispersed in the cave, each treating their injuries.
"No matter how we break the seal, these people are obstacles."
He looked at the night walkers scattered throughout the cave, wondering how he could kill them all.
"If we fight head-on, I might not even stand a chance of winning in a 1v1. In the end, I still have to poison him."
If you want to poison someone, it must be poisonous.
"Fortunately, I stole some medicinal materials when I was refining the pill." He couldn't help but feel fortunate that alchemists have this traditional virtue. "Although I can't refine other poisons, according to the pharmacological structure of the Death Pill, I can still use these medicinal materials to refine a simplified version of the Death Pill. It doesn't have to be poisoned to death, just weakening the combat effectiveness will be enough."
While planning in his mind, he looked at the night walkers in the cave like prey.
Four Night Walkers died in tonight's operation. Now there are still twenty-seven Night Walkers in the cave, plus nine monks who were sitting cross-legged at the edge of the huge pit and were not sure what they were doing, plus Tie Ruonan and the man in red. There are a total of thirty-eight people in this cave.
"There are not enough medicinal materials. I am afraid that the elixir I refine will not be enough for me to kill so many people..."
As he watched, he suddenly realized that the night walkers in the cave didn't seem to be very familiar with each other. Some were even wary of each other.
This reminded him of the Night Walkers who went out on hunting missions last night and tonight. They all fought alone, and he didn't see anyone cooperating to kill people... It was obvious that cooperative hunting was more efficient.
Now even if they had to treat their wounds, they would be alone.
He thought about it, looked at the corpses slowly disappearing in the giant pit beside him, and understood a little: this giant pit only needed the corpses of body cultivators, whose corpses? It was not picky.
"That's not bad. It will be more convenient for me to deal with it later."
This is rare good news.
After scanning the cave a few times, Qin Ran found a place where no one was.
However, just as he walked over and sat down, he heard someone shouting at him: "Hey! That kid..."
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Tie Ruonan who was speaking to him. He was not sure if she was speaking to him, so he checked it out before getting up and walking towards Tie Ruonan.
"Captain!" he asked. "What's the matter?"
He did not pretend to be servile, because his character was a death warrior, or a killer, who came to Shenhua Mountain specifically to kill people. This kind of person is a desperado and will not be humble.
Tie Ruonan glanced at him and asked, "What's your name?"
Hearing this question, Qin Ran called out vigilantly, "Captain!" and then quietly signaled the other Night Walkers with his eyes.
Tie Ruonan was stunned for a moment, then realized that although all the people here were assassins, it was better to hide their identities. She nodded to show her understanding and smiled, "You are quite cautious."
"I have a wife and children at home, so I have no choice." Qin Ran made up a lie.
This is certainly not because he is worried about the identity of his stand-in being exposed, but because he does not even know the name of his stand-in, so he speaks like that.
…The murder was urgent at the time and he had no time to search the soul.
"You are very powerful." Tie Ruonan said, "Although the young master of Evil Shark Island is a playboy who does not work properly, he is still relatively strong at the level of a second-grade body cultivator. You were able to kill him and come back alive. It is really rare."
“Compared to the captain, I’m still far behind.” Qin Ran replied.
“Heh!” Tie Ruonan smiled wryly, “You’re actually flattering me… There’s actually someone like you who’s good at flattering me here.”
Qin Ran's heart trembled, he smiled and didn't say anything else.
Tie Ruonan casually took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Qin Ran, saying, "Here is a bottle of blood-replenishing pills for you. I hope you can survive this mission."
"?"
Qin Ran was directly puzzled. He was just worrying about not having enough medicinal materials, and Tie Ruonan was about to send him pills... Did he know that pills could also be used as medicinal materials to refine pills?
Could it be that Tie Ruonan is a traitor to Longjing Island?
He quickly thanked him, his gratitude coming from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Captain."
“No need…” Tie Ruonan responded casually.
The two of them were not familiar with each other, and this was not a suitable place for them to chat.
Kieran got the pill and returned to where he was just now.
Just as he sat cross-legged against the wall, he noticed that the other night walkers were looking at the pill in his hand intentionally or unintentionally. They were probably thinking about how to take the bottle of healing pill from him.
Seeing this, he sneered in his heart.
"Want some pills?" He raised his hand and poured out a pill, throwing it into his mouth, "I'll give it to you."
Instead, the medicine bottle disappeared in his hands.
