Chapter 134 Successfully Infiltrating the Formation Master Association
Seeing that more than half of the monks had left, there was nothing unusual on the face of Vice President Qin Ruiyuan, and he still had no expression.
Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, he continued, "To become an apprentice of a formation master, you need to master some formation knowledge. I wonder if you are ready?" After he finished speaking, he looked up at the crowd.
This time, no monks left. After all, after the last wave of monks left, the ones who stayed were monks who were truly interested in formations and had a certain foundation in formations.
These cultivators could not enter the large sects, so they had to find opportunities to join the Formation Master Association as apprentices and ultimately improve their formation skills.
In this way, the group was finally led into the gate of the Formation Master Association headquarters.
Without staying in the front hall for long, Lin Xia and her group of wandering cultivators were taken directly to the backyard of the Formation Master Association. In the eyes of these cultivators except Lin Xia, the backyard of the Formation Master Association looked like a beautiful garden with birds singing and flowers blooming at first glance, but it was not actually the case.
There is a formation forest in the garden, which includes killing formations, illusion formations, trapping formations, lightning formations... and so on.
After Qin Ruiyuan's reminder, almost all the cultivators noticed the fluctuations of the formation not far away.
For a moment, all the cultivators looked at the formation forest in front of them and couldn't help but feel nervous and excited.
Vice President Qin Ruiyuan still stood in front of everyone with an expressionless face, and slowly said: "This formation forest is the assessment that all fellow Taoists will participate in next.
Fellow Taoists, you need to successfully pass through this formation forest and reach the exit, which is the other end of this garden, within three days. I will be waiting for you at the exit then.
During this period, fellow Taoists may use their knowledge of formations to break various formations. However, brute force is not permitted. Doing so will be considered a violation, and you will be eliminated and required to compensate the Formation Forest for any losses incurred.
After a pause, Qin Ruiyuan's voice became more serious, "Remember, you must not use violence to break the formation! The performance of all fellow Taoists will be reflected in the water mirror of the Formation Master Association, and the formation masters in the association will monitor it in real time." This is a clear warning of penalty spirit stones.
Lin Xia looked at the formation in front of him, and a little excitement surged in his heart. To be honest, apart from some common protective formations and concealment formations, Lin Xia had never seen the power of other formations. Many of them had only been seen on the jade slips in the Qinglin Immortal Mansion. However, Lin Xia had already mastered the characteristics of these formations and the methods to break them, so he was not panicked.
At the same time, most of the other cultivators who took the assessment with Lin Xia did not look so happy. They were all thinking seriously about how to break out of the formation in the forest within the specified time.
"Now, start entering the formation forest." Qin Ruiyuan gave an order, and all the cultivators stepped into the formation forest.
Lin Xia also followed everyone into the formation forest.
As soon as they stepped into the formation forest, the scenery in front of them changed drastically. The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers were no longer there, and the other cultivators who had entered the formation forest with Lin Xia were nowhere to be seen.
Shortly after entering the formation forest, Lin Xia felt a mysterious force enveloping him, and then his consciousness became blurred.
When Lin Xia woke up, she found herself sitting in front of the computer desk working overtime. The night outside the window was as dark as ink, the lights inside the room were bright, and the computer page was still stuck on the WeChat chat in which she was communicating with the client's father about the design draft.
This was already the seventh draft, but Party A was still not satisfied, so the skilled worker Lin Xia had no choice but to patiently communicate with him again.
Just as she had written down Party A's new round of unreasonable demands, the phone suddenly rang. A soft female voice sang leisurely, "If the moon hasn't come out yet, the street lights will also..." Lin Xia looked down and saw that the caller ID was "Uncle".
Seeing the word "uncle" on the caller ID, Lin Xia was stunned. Wasn't she an orphan? She grew up in an orphanage, so where did her uncle come from?
Thinking of this, Lin Xia picked up the phone on the table and pressed the answer button, "Xiaoxia!" Su Linghan's voice soon came from inside.
Almost at the same time when Su Linghan's cold voice came to his ears, Lin Xia realized something and slowly closed his eyes. When Lin Xia opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him had changed. Lin Xia finally realized that he was trapped in an illusion.
Lin Xia closed his eyes again, recalling the formation knowledge he had learned, and soon opened his eyes again.
Feeling the fluctuations of the formation around him, Lin Xia quickly found the location where the fluctuations were stronger. He walked along the trajectory of the fluctuations and found that the center of the formation was indeed there.
The eye of the formation is the core of the formation and also the way out (this is the setting of the formation in this article). After finding the eye of the formation, Lin Xia quickly walked out of the illusion formation.
Next, Lin Xia encountered killing arrays, trapping arrays, lightning arrays, etc., but they were all successfully broken one by one by Lin Xia. Except for the trapping array which was a bit troublesome, the others were not a big problem for Lin Xia.
This is just the formation forest used by the Formation Master Association to assess formation master apprentices, so the difficulty is actually not very great. Of course, this difficulty is only not great for Lin Xia. After all, Lin Xia has actually been a quasi-junior formation master for a long time. However, the purpose of Lin Xia's visit to Bilan City this time is to infiltrate the headquarters of the Formation Master Association, and becoming a formation master apprentice is the fastest way to achieve this goal.
On the other side, in front of the Water Mirror in the Formation Master Association, a middle-aged female cultivator looked at Lin Xia, who was far ahead of the other cultivators in the Water Mirror, and nodded with a smile, "This is a good seedling!"
This middle-aged female cultivator was none other than Li Zeyun, the president of the Formation Master Association headquarters, who had taken time out to inspect the place.
Li Zeyun herself is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and she has another identity, that is, the younger sister of the leader of the Qingling Beast Taming Sect, Lingyuan Immortal Lord Li Zeyuan, and also the aunt of Li Haoqing.
Of course Lin Xia knew Li Zeyun's identity. After all, this was one of the reasons why the Formation Master Association's headquarters was set up in Bilan City. This was no secret at all. Any cultivator who paid a little attention to the Formation Master Association would know it.
However, Lin Xia had her own reasons for joining the Formation Master Association, so why would she care whose aunt the president was?!
Besides, she is Xia Lin now, and Lin Xia has great confidence in the efficacy of the Phantom Stone. After all, the Star-Moon Fairy, that is, her former self, only has one in stock, which is extremely rare and precious. At least, Lin Xia has never heard of the existence of another Phantom Stone on the Qianyuan Continent.
With Lin Xia's speed of breaking the formation, it only took him half the time to walk out of the formation forest.
Vice President Qin Ruiyuan seemed a little surprised to see Lin Xia. After a long time, he nodded and motioned Lin Xia to sit nearby and wait.
As time went by, more and more cultivators came out of the formation forest, and soon the three-day period was over.
No one cared about the cultivators who had not come out yet. Those people were brought out by the formation masters in the association.
Qin Ruiyuan looked at the cultivators who had emerged from the Formation Forest within the allotted time and nodded slightly. "Very good, fellow Taoists, you have successfully passed the assessment. You will receive a pass token from the Association shortly, and tomorrow you will officially become a Formation Master Apprentice of the Formation Master Association."
And Lin Xia (Xia Lin) was among them.
