The establishment of this large-scale magic circle is complicated and involves refining many small magic weapons and finally connecting them into one piece. Moreover, it is necessary to set up the formation according to the mountainous terrain, which is obviously impossible for Chen Fan alone.
Chen Fan first thought of Master Wei.
Although Wei Laosan is not very capable, he has a wide network of contacts and knows people in all aspects.
When Chen Fan found his head, Mr. Wei was very surprised: "Master Chen, you said you want to build a 'magic circle'? On the top of the mountain of Yunwu?"
At this time, he no longer cared about how the villa he gave to the old man got into Chen Fan's hands, but was extremely confused:
"What is a 'magic circle'?"
For people like Wei Laosan who are outside the cultivation circle, the word magic circle is extremely unfamiliar. The most he can think of is Zhuge Liang's 'Bagua Array' in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Master Qi, who was specially called by Chen Fan, rushed over and was shocked when he heard Chen Fan's words.
"Master Chen, do you want to set up a magic circle?"
"Yes, I want to place a large magic circle around the entire Yunwu Mountain with the Yunwu Mountain Villa as the center." Chen Fan explained.
Master Qi's eyes bulged. What is the concept of a magic circle covering a mountain?
This has an exclusive name in the ancient world of cultivation on earth.
'Mountain Protection Formation'!
Only those with the highest level of Taoism and inheritance, and the efforts of several or even more than a dozen generations, can complete such a huge project. And this was all hundreds of thousands of years ago, and is only recorded in books. In modern times, let alone the mountain-protecting formation, an ordinary magic formation is rare. It is estimated that only the oldest Taoist sects may still preserve the mountain-protecting array.
But this is just a legend, and it is unknown whether anyone has seen it with their own eyes.
After listening to what Master Qi said, Wei Laosan's expression changed. Master Chen actually wants to build a huge magic circle that has never been seen in the world. The scale of this project is really shocking.
Chen Fan frowned and said:
"It's not as exaggerated as you think."
A general mountain-protecting formation must protect at least one mountain, right?
But the magic circle that Chen Fan wants to set up can only protect the villa. The other parts are mainly the supporting spirit-guiding array, spirit-gathering array and mist array.
A true protective array requires a huge amount of natural materials and treasures. If you want to build a mountain-protecting array that can cover the entire mountain and resist attacks by modern weapons, you must at least have a cultivation level above Shenhai to do it.
And Chen Fan reduced this core part, and the difficulty naturally plummeted.
Of course, even so, it is very difficult for him to cultivate in the middle stage of foundation building, so he can only do it step by step.
"Even if it is like this, it is amazing!"
"It pulls the spiritual energy of the entire Yangui Lake and Yunwu Mountain. Isn't it equivalent to recreating the spiritual veins? This is such a huge undertaking, it is really unheard of." Master Qi shook his head in admiration.
As he spoke, he suddenly wondered:
"Mr. Chen, as far as I know, there are only a handful of experts in the world who can set up magic formations. Who are you going to find to set up such a huge magic formation?"
"Oh, not many people in the cultivation world understand the magic circle?" Chen Fan was surprised.
Magical formations, talismans, alchemy, and weapon refining are all basic skills. If you pull over any little Foundation Establishment monk, he will speak clearly and clearly.
"Don't talk about the Dharma formation. There are very few people who can enter the Tao in the practice circle. Most of them are just like me, wandering outside the door." Master Qi said with a bitter smile.
"As we saw that day, Master Wu is already considered a master."
"Even that pretender is considered an expert?"
"The line of cultivation is indeed in decline!" Chen Fan frowned slightly when he heard this and shook his head. "It doesn't matter, it's enough for me to come alone."
"Are you alone?" Master Qi was really shocked this time.
Such a majestic magic circle was so powerful that he originally thought it might have come from the hands of Chen Fan, the master who saw the dragon but never saw its end. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Chen Fan's own handiwork.
"Yes, I came to you because I hope you can help me purchase the following things." Chen Fan pulled out a list.
On the list are many materials needed for this formation.
The earth's spiritual energy is exhausted and various spiritual materials and treasures are scarce. Chen Fan can only try his best to choose similar materials to replace them.
"This formation requires refining a total of thirty-six small magic weapons. But for the core spirit gathering array, only five magic weapons are enough. You first help me find the necessary tools to refine these five magic weapons. jade." Chen Fan tapped his fingers on the table and said:
"If you can do it, I can help each of you refine a magic weapon similar to the Bagua Pan for free."
Master Wei and Master Qi were overjoyed when they heard this.
For them, as long as it is a magic weapon, no matter how effective it is, it is out of reach.
Since Chen Fan promised, they naturally took action immediately.
Taking advantage of the National Day holiday, Chen Fan stayed at home and began to refine the first formation weapon.
Chen Fan decided to name the array at Yunwu Mountain Villa 'Yunshan Formation'.
The Yunshan Formation consists of four parts: the innermost spirit gathering array, the protective array that protects the villa, the spirit guiding array that extends to Yangui Lake, and finally the mist array that covers the entire Yunwu Mountain.
Chen Fan cleverly combined the magic array with the fog of Yunwu Mountain, and used the fog array to enhance the power of the clouds, enough to make the top of the Yunwu Mountains always shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult for anyone to find their way in even if they wanted to come in.
The surging water aura of Yangui Lake will be pulled into the villa by the spirit-guiding array and locked by the spirit-gathering array. In addition to being used for cultivation, this spiritual energy can also be used as fuel to activate the protective array, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
In this system, the core is naturally the spirit gathering array. Without the Spirit Gathering Array, the other three arrays would be equivalent to a car without an engine, unable to run.
The material used to build this large spirit gathering array is mainly jade, the best jade!
Only these top-quality jade stones can carry the surging spiritual energy. In order to purchase these jade stones, Chen Fan spent more than 20 million of his 65 million in an instant.
He was sitting cross-legged in the room of the community, with a disk-shaped emerald green jade floating on his chest. This piece of beautiful jade is blooming with bright green light from the inside to the outside, and there seems to be gas flowing inside.
Chen Fan closed his eyes slightly, and from time to time, a simple and vast syllable came out of his mouth. This syllable fell in the air and formed a golden rune.
Golden runes are printed on the emerald jade plate one after another, just like the top miniature carving masters are carefully carving.
"Duh!"
Chen Fan opened his eyes suddenly, opened his mouth and blew out a stream of white air. This is his natal true energy, which is countless times purer than Master Wu's natal magic power. The white energy is as strong as a white ray, hitting the emerald green jade plate fiercely.
The jade plate buzzed and vibrated rapidly, and the clouds of spiritual energy inside rolled like an ocean, and a bright green light bloomed.
At this time, the golden runes imprinted on the surface of the jade plate also appeared instantly, like chains locking the green light and gradually compressing it towards the center of the jade plate. The jade plate shook violently, but in the end it was no match for these golden chains and gradually calmed down.
Chen Fan let out a long breath and reached out to take the jade plate.
At this time, the light on the jade plate has converged, just like an ordinary piece of beautiful jade, but it is densely covered with countless golden runes, and you can tell at a glance that it is not a mortal thing.
"This Soul Gathering Disk is finally finished. As long as there are five Soul Gathering Disks and the chalcedony amulet, I can build a large Soul Gathering Array that covers the entire villa." Chen Fan felt a pity in his heart.
After all, there is only one piece of chalcedony. If there are a few more pieces, there is no need to go to such trouble. Compared with ordinary jade, chalcedony can carry many spells and magic arrays. With only five pieces of chalcedony, he can set up the entire array.
But now, Chen Fan can only separate the magic circles one by one. Each magic circle requires several small magic weapons to be composed.
"The jade needed to build the Spirit Gathering Array is best found, as long as you have money. The materials for other arrays are extremely difficult to find. Relying on Wei Laosan and others is not a long-term solution after all. I should also find a way to open it myself. There are some channels."
Chen Fan touched his chin, thoughtfully.
The spirit gathering array needs to carry and condense spiritual energy, so it requires the highest quality jade, because jade is the material closest to spiritual energy besides spiritual stones. There is a small amount of pure spiritual energy in natural jade.
The other three formations are different.
The spirit-guiding array needs to draw in the vast water-based spiritual energy of Yangui Lake, so it requires water-attribute materials. It is certain that all the water-attributed heavenly materials such as "Heilan Stone, Ice Xuan Crystal, and Water Elemental Stone" in the world of immortality cannot be found on earth. Therefore, in the list Chen Fan gave to Wei Laosan, he listed the need for 10,000-meter deep sea sea stone.
Under the sea of thousand feet, after tens of millions or even billions of years of erosion by ocean currents, even ordinary stones will contain a trace of the essence of water, which is barely enough to support the operation of the spirit-guiding array.
The mist array requires thousands of years of sunken pine wood. Pine wood is inherently yin, and the thousand-year-old sunken pine wood can already be compared to the 'yin crystal stone'. It's just that oak wood of this age is so rare that Wei Laosan may not be able to find it.
The final defensive array requires very special materials, and Chen Fan plans to look for them last.
On the last day of the National Day holiday, Chen Fan finally refined all five spirit-gathering jade plates, and used the leftover materials to refine two jade pendants for Wei Laosan and Master Qi. These two jade pendants depict a weakened version of the Spirit Gathering Formation. The effect is naturally far inferior to the 'Spirit Gathering Jade Plate' and 'Chalcedony Artifact' that Chen Fan personally refined, but it is far better than the previous Bagua Plate.
