Shi Xuan frowned.
No wonder no one has tried this before; it's too easy to fail.
“I entered at the wrong time,” Lu Shenzhi concluded. “This caused a conflict in our spiritual energy flow, and the material couldn’t withstand the conflict.”
Shi Xuan nodded and replied, "It's also because I gave you the signal a little late."
"Next time, you don't need to give a signal; I'll seize the opportunity."
The two sat down again and began the experiment once more.
With nothing else to do, Lu Wenxing saw that his senior brother and junior sister had started practicing again, so he pulled He Weiqing to the door once more.
Whether it's the junior sister or the senior brother, they can't escape his credit.
Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi experimented again, and the two began to intentionally direct their spiritual energy in one direction, so that they would not encounter any conflicting spiritual energy paths when they made their entry.
After five trials, the sky had gradually darkened. Finally, when it was completely dark, the two succeeded on their first attempt!
Although it is only the simplest first-order formation, its significance is extraordinary.
The collaboration between array cultivators and artifact cultivators in crafting artifacts is an unprecedented event in the cultivation world. This means that, theoretically, as long as an array cultivator can find a suitable partner, he can craft a high-level magical artifact that combines array and artifact techniques.
Of course, this requires a high level of skill, and very few people in the entire cultivation world can achieve it.
Shi Xuan was very satisfied with the result. The success of the first formation experiment meant that higher-level formations would also be successful in the future.
"Continue!" Lu Shenzhi became even more interested, finding the collaborative weapon forging project increasingly intriguing.
Anyway, high-level cultivators don't need much rest.
The two took the Nourishing Spirit Pill and continued their experiment.
As the difficulty increased, from the first-order formation to the second, then the third, and the fourth... the two of them became more and more in sync through continuous cooperation. The higher the order of the formation, the more difficult it was, but their progress actually became faster.
After working together for a long time, they have a complete understanding of each other's habits of using spiritual power. They can even know where to start and where to stop without giving any signals.
Finally, after five days and five nights of tireless experimentation, the two successfully created a set of sixth-order array cakes.
This array cake contains a simplified version of the Rising Dragon Array modified by Shi Xuan. It was the same array that trapped the Nascent Soul cultivator in front of the cheap shop.
The success of this set of array cakes means that their method of combining artifacts and arrays in crafting has been completely successful.
Shi Xuan originally intended to give each person one of these simplified versions of the Rising Dragon Formation.
Such success filled Lu Shenzhi with a great sense of accomplishment. He stood up, stretched, and sighed, "Junior Sister, this is a remarkable achievement in the cultivation world. It will surely be recorded in history and leave a lasting legacy!"
"You talk as if I'm already an immortal being," Shi Xuan laughed. "You can't do without Senior Brother's contribution."
"And my contribution too!" Lu Wenxing, who rushed over, exclaimed, "And my fourth junior brother too!"
The work of guarding the gate is also a merit; they work just as hard as their senior brother!
Shi Xuan readily agreed, saying, "Yes, yes, Second Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother will naturally have a share too!"
Lu Wenxing was finally satisfied and happily walked away humming a little tune.
After everyone left, Shi Xuan calmed down and summarized her and her senior brother's experience from the experiment. She wrote it down in a journal-like document and handed it to Qiu Chang'an and Li Jun, who were inside Yin Shuang.
"This is..." Li Jun, a weapon-making fanatic, was so excited when he saw this groundbreaking new method of weapon forging that he almost jumped up.
The idea of two people working together to refine weapons sounds incredibly impressive, and he loves innovative things!
Qiu Chang'an also came over. He was now dressed very neatly and cleanly, wearing a loose robe. When he saw Shi Xuan, his eyes did not flinch and he had a smile on his face. He seemed to be living quite well here.
He picked up Shi Xuan's handbook and looked at it. The handbook described the cooperation method in great detail and also summarized his own experience. It was full of pictures and text, making it easy to understand at a glance.
"Wonderful!" Qiu Chang'an was also filled with curiosity.
He had set up countless formations throughout his life, but he had never tried setting up a formation on someone else's magical artifact. He was very interested in trying something like this.
Shi Xuan said, "You should start with first-order formations and try them as many times as you like. Don't be afraid of wasting materials. Once you can refine a sixth-order formation, you'll be considered successful. I have a detailed diagram of a sixth-order formation here. Qiu Chang'an, take a look. Once you've learned it, I'll want twenty finished sets."
"A detailed diagram of a sixth-order formation?" Qiu Chang'an took the simplified version of the Rising Dragon Formation diagram handed to him by Shi Xuan, as if he had found a treasure.
This place truly is a paradise. He was already satisfied with the quiet life with only three people, but the addition of array blueprints and materials made it even more convenient.
Shi Xuan had previously provided her with several array diagrams, all of which were very ingenious arrays. He felt that since joining Silver Frost, his mastery of arrays had actually improved.
After giving his instructions, Shi Xuan left, leaving Li Jun and Qiu Chang'an looking at each other in bewilderment.
Both of them felt the joy of acquiring something new, but when they looked at each other, there was something else going on.
If this were outside the immediate community, given the length of their acquaintance and the depth of their relationship, it would be completely impossible for them to accomplish this.
Leaving your vital points wide open and letting the other party stand at the door is far too dangerous; one wrong move could lead to unpredictable consequences.
However, this is in a separate space. There are only the three of them here, so there is no need to compete for resources or conflict with each other. Killing the other would not bring any benefit; on the contrary, it would anger Shi Xuan, which would likely put them in a dangerous situation.
The two looked at each other with an unspoken understanding, an indescribable feeling that seemed to indicate they knew the other was safe.
The two of them started by studying the materials. They found an empty room to study together and discuss things with each other. Only after they had a complete theoretical grasp of the notes that Shi Xuan had brought in did they start to put them into practice.
Shi Xuan no longer cared what they were doing inside. She was currently researching her team's trip to Yema Volcano.
I went back to mentor my senior brother a while ago, then came back to compete with the Hongmeng team, and now I've been experimenting with array cakes for a few days. In fact, the best team hasn't taken on any missions for almost half a month.
This time, while she was away, everyone chose the mission together: to collect night hemp from the Night Hemp Volcano.
Night hemp, a spiritual plant, lives in extremely hot areas and only appears at night, making it very difficult to harvest. Therefore, the points awarded for the task are particularly high.
Shi Xuan looked up some information about Yema Volcano; it was somewhat challenging, but still within an acceptable range. Moreover, with the addition of their senior brother, a Nascent Soul cultivator, their team was even stronger. He agreed to the team members' suggestion, and they all agreed to set off early the next morning.
