Chapter 123: Successful Creation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Ming was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization and asked, “What do you want?”
“After I tell you, you have to give me fifty living yin fiends.” The tablet spirit’s scarlet tongue licked at the side of its mouth, making it look indescribably evil.
“Alright.” Li Ming agreed without thinking.
“Hehe, in your library pavilion.” The tablet spirit glanced at Li Ming, a faint smile hanging on its mouth.
Li Ming was silent.
The Divine Will Mountain had long since opened the doors of its library pavilion to inner disciples, and it was free of charge.
When the sect master first announced this, Li Ming thought that there was something wrong with his ears. In his opinion, the sect master and the martial uncles were not generous people, so why would they offer something so valuable for free?
However, despite his doubts, Li Ming still enjoyed this privilege.
Unfortunately, most of the jade slips in the sect were related to the sword. There were very few other types of jade slips, let alone high-grade ones in other fields. Therefore, Li Ming could not really benefit from the jade slips in the library pavilion as much as others.
Li Ming suddenly paused. He saw an acquaintance.
“Senior Brother Luo Ming!”
Wasn’t this senior brother supposed to be in seclusion? Li Ming was shocked. When he looked at Senior Brother Luo Ming again, he noticed that he seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts. Senior Brother Luo Ming even seemed to be completely oblivious to his arrival.
Li Ming did not hold any good feelings toward Senior Brother Luo Ming. There was no room for reconciliation between the two of them.
However, Li Ming did not want to cause any trouble here, so he quietly searched the library alone.
Very quickly, he found a jade slip containing information on a formation plate inside. He was overjoyed. The tablet spirit had not tricked him.
Holding the jade slip, Li Ming quickly began studying. It was unknown how much time had passed as he studied.
A formation plate was generally understood as a jade plate on which a formation had been set up beforehand. When needed, it could be released instantaneously. It was very useful. Most formations could be made into simple formation disks.
However, the power of the formation plate was still slightly inferior to a formation set up by magical artifacts. Therefore, it was generally only used by low-level cultivators below the golden core realm.
And among cultivators, loos cultivators were the most experienced in using formation plates.
Li Ming felt that he was quite fated to be with these loose cultivators. For example, the spiritual plant magical arts that he had studied in the past were the specialties of these loose cultivators.
The difficulty of making formation plates was directly proportional to the complexity of the formation that was being inscribed onto the plate.
It had to be said that during this period of time, Li Ming had accumulated a lot of experience in the process of refining materials in Dongfu. Under his careful study, he gradually grasped the technique of refining formation plates.
In the past, he studied formations only to improve his attainments in forging and pill refinement. He never thought that he could use that knowledge against his enemies.
It was only when he began studying formation plates that he suddenly realized that formations could also be a very useful card in battle.
It was already late at night when he came out of the library pavilion. He did not see Senior Brother Luo Ming anywhere, so he assumed that the other party had left.
When he returned to West Wind Courtyard, Lin Xue had already left. Silly Bird was still perched on the roof, combing her fur repeatedly.
He walked into the room and found a jade plate. After pondering for a moment, Li Ming began to make his first formation plate.
He cut the jade plate into a thin piece the size of a palm. He did not need to carve too much. Li Ming used the water-drop sword to cut it into a rough circle.
The most important thing was to seal the formation in the jade token, but what formation would he inscribe?
Since it was the first one, Li Ming chose the easy Three-powers Water Formation.
Its only use was to make the surrounding water denser, thereby increasing the power of water-element cultivation techniques. Setting up a formation required many techniques, but the most important thing was a talisman treasure.
Some cultivators would make small flags to set up formations. Some people would make a string of beads to assist the formation. Every cultivator was different, and the talisman treasures they used were different.
All talisman treasures had one thing in common, and that was that they were large in quantity.
The more powerful the formation, the more talisman treasures it required.
However, in Li Ming’s eyes, the talisman treasure was an existence that was far beyond his reach. With his current level, he was still unable to make talisman treasures.
Fortunately, the Three-powers Water Formation did not require too many materials. Li Ming randomly picked three first-grade greenwood and cut them into small pieces. Then, he carved the formation patterns on them.
Because this formation was very simple, the three crude talisman treasures were quickly drawn.
Li Ming began to lay down the Three-powers Water Formation.
The three greenwood talisman treasures were placed in the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man. And two spirit stones were placed in the positions of the Sun and Moon. After doing all this, Li Ming formed a seal with his hands.
A thin layer of fog quickly enveloped the small courtyard. Silly Bird was so surprised that she cried out loudly. She flapped her wings and soared into the sky.
At this moment, Li Ming hurriedly took out the jade plate that he had prepared earlier and began to use the sealing technique.
The surrounding water elements and the three water elements were all sucked into the jade plate, and a blue water rune appeared on the jade plate.
Li Ming was delighted and quickly activated the array disc. The array disc flashed, and the Three-powers Water Formation appeared on the ground, emitting water vapor continuously.
The only difference was that the water vapor produced was much less than the actual Three-powers Water Formation.
Interesting!
Li Ming, who was full of vigor, began to make all kinds of formation plates. Although they were all out of inferior materials, he was still happy and did not get tired of testing more things out.
He only stopped when all the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted. However, there were more than ten formation plates of various types in his hand. The exhausted Li Ming fell asleep as soon as he laid down. After a while, he began snoring loudly.
Lin Xue eventually woke Li Ming up.
“Oh.” He responded. Li Ming forced his sleepy eyes open and mumbled. It had been a long time since he had slept so soundly.
“The sect master has invited you to head to the Divine Will Hall.”
“Divine Will Hall, don’t disturb me…” Li Ming had just opened his eyes and was still in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses and quickly sat up. He asked Lin Xue anxiously, “Wait, where idd you say that the sect master wanted me to go?”
“The sect master wants you to go to the Divine Will Hall.”
Sobering up instantly, Li Ming leaped up like a gust of wind and flew out of West Wind Valley.
What a joke!
If the sect master told him to go to the Divine Will Hall, then there must be something big to be announced!
On his way to the Divine Will Hall, he wondered what announcement the sect master would make at this time.
When Li Ming arrived at Divine Will Hall, he did not expect Senior Brother Luo Ming to be there as well. He bowed to the sect master on the main seat and retreated to the side.
Looking around, the rest of the martial uncles were not around. There were only three of them in the entire Divine Will Hall.
“Luo Ming, Li Ming, the two of you should mentally prepare yourselves. In another month, the two of you will be following Senior Brother Li Zhengxuan to participate in the Dongfu Sword Testing Conference. During this period of time, you must work hard in your cultivation and not slack off.”
From the moment Li Zhengxuan left the sword cave, no one had ever questioned his position as the eldest senior brother. It was said that the sect master had only decided on that day.
Luo Ming did not say a word and bowed.
Li Ming, who was not mentally prepared, stood there.. Sword-Testing Conference? He was going to the Sword-Testing Conference?
