Chapter 229 Summary
After entering the courtyard for the third time, they looked inside. Thick smoke billowed, and the whole place was in disarray. Du Yiniang and Du Que'er exchanged a glance, momentarily silent, unsure whether to comfort Luo Xuanyi. However, Luo Xuanyi remained unaffected, her heart leaping with joy.
Originally, there was only one main flag and one formation flag standing in the bronze disc. Now there was one more formation flag, and the remaining half flag was urgently taken into Luo Xuanyi's body.
The second formation flag wasn't much to say. In the Peach Blossom Realm, after Luo Xuanyi had memorized the entire Inter-World Soul-Falling Formation, she began to collect and count the remaining spiritual herbs and demonic beasts. The first formation flag had required the refining of 1,250 spiritual herbs, 1,000 demonic beast carcasses, and 2,015 living souls, plus a wisp of dead energy as the flag's backbone. Luo Xuanyi immediately attempted to create the second formation flag using the same number and steps.
What surprised her was that the materials consumed in refining the second formation flag were not much different from those of the first formation flag. The overall consumption was even less, and the reduction was very even.
So when the spiritual herbs and monsters were consumed to only one tenth of their original number, Luo Xuanyi, who had been successful continuously, finally couldn't help but start a small-scale formation flag improvement experiment.
According to her idea, since all the steps and consumed materials of the two formation flags are roughly similar, perhaps there is some kind of rule in refining the formation flags, and it may be related to the refining of the first formation flag.
The second formation flag uses even less material, which means that some of the materials used in the refining process of the first formation flag were useless. So what is the core part of the formation flag?
Taking the first formation flag as the positioning and stripping away the parts other than the core, can the subsequent formation flags exist only in the form of the core?
Since the remaining materials weren't enough for her to refine a third formation flag, she immediately began intensive research. The main flag and the formation flag had completely merged into Luo Xuanyi's body. After years of meticulous research in the Peach Blossom Realm, she had finally found the vague core.
As a result, when she tried to imitate it, she suddenly felt the wrath of thunder in the sky. The thunder and lightning were like dragons, and the momentum was even greater than when she was refining the Moon Pattern Flakes.
She hurriedly escaped from Taoyuan Realm with the core of the third formation flag that was half-refined. The heavenly thunder did not destroy Taoyuan Realm along with it, but only hit the core of the third formation flag. Luo Xuanyi had not yet seen what the core looked like.
The formation flag was destroyed, the house collapsed, and smoke billowed in the yard. She hurriedly collected the remains of the formation flag and the Peach Blossom Realm. She seemed embarrassed, but her actions had proved one thing, that is, the core of the formation flag existed and could be separated out separately.
That was enough. Although she didn't understand why refining the core of the formation flag alone would anger the Heavenly Dao, she would continue to work hard to figure out how much material the core required. Even if some redundant units were still needed during refining to avoid heaven's punishment, it would be much more useful than relying on luck.
In addition to this retreat in Peach Blossom Land, she completely mastered the first formation and embarked on the path of formation. Only twenty-two days had passed in the outside world, and her gains were not small.
Now, she just wanted to get the remaining materials as soon as possible and quickly refine the remaining five formation flags. With this, together with her main flag and two formation flags, she could start experimenting with the use of the Inter-World Soul-Falling Formation.
Anyway, once the eight formation flags were refined, she no longer had to hide low and could go all out. The experimental subjects for the Inter-World Soul-Falling Formation could be the cultivators stationed in this town, and the entire town environment could be used as a simulation.
Guhu Town is really her best experimental site. It is worth it that she spent so much time looking at the map to choose it.
Therefore, facing the two puzzled people, Luo Xuanyi simply smiled, brushed off the ashes on her body, and said gently, "When I was refining the elixir just now, I accidentally attracted a strange phenomenon and collapsed the house. Now it's a mess inside. Remember to tell the people in the yard not to go in, or they might get hurt."
"I have already set up a restriction. As long as you don't go in, the pill smoke will not be able to come out."
Hearing Luo Xuanyi's words, Du Que'er immediately responded with a serious expression, "I understand."
Du Yiniang looked at the courtyard gate with some worry: "Since the house has collapsed and we can't go in to repair it, what will you do, sir?"
"Once the smoke clears, I'll naturally use my magic to restore the house. Don't worry." Luo Xuanyi walked over to Du Yiniang and Du Que'er and nodded slightly. "Before that, I'll go for a walk around town. Please do as you please."
After saying this, she passed by the two of them with a gentle smile, turned into the corner of the flower wall, and disappeared.
After a while, Du Yiniang sighed, "He's truly an approachable immortal. Although he looks a little cold, he's not truly heartless. Unlike the immortals in the trading houses in this town, they never smile at us, even when we bring in goods."
Du Que'er was a stranger, having never dealt with the town's trading houses, so she remained noncommittal. However, she also felt that Luo Xuanyi was kind and amiable. She held onto Du Yiniang's arm and said coquettishly, "You see, such a kind person, how could you bear to let her eat the half-cooked rice we three cooked? Aunt, please move in."
This time, Du Yiniang had no reason to refuse and could only nod helplessly: "Doctor Ma is fine, but you and Ka Kui must learn to cook from me. You're already grown-ups, are you going to have to eat half-cooked rice for the rest of your life without someone to help you cook?"
Du Que'er smiled and nodded, her frail look slightly less severe. She was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and in front of her last remaining family member, she was finally able to smile.
