Chapter 220 – First Hearing of Formation Dao

Chapter 220 – Hearing of the Array Road
Gu Yuanan shook his head and smiled, “But it’s just a matter of duty, since I’ve done this commission, I will teach you well.”

If there are other talented disciples who are willing to learn more, he will do his best to teach them just the same.

After Gu Yuanan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Huo Chunyan on the side.

Senior Sister Huo’s enlightenment is not bad, only her temperament is a bit jumpy.

Seeing Gu Yuanan’s eyes sweeping in, Huo Chunyan is immediately honest, lowering her head like a quail and waiting for Senior Brother Gu to admonish her.

Gu Yuanan encourages her with a few words, and then leaves straight away.

“Scared me to death, thought I was going to be scolded by Senior Brother Gu again.”

Huo Chunyan waited until Gu Yuanan’s figure had completely disappeared before she breathed a sigh of relief, a look of celebration on her face.

Xu Chunyang let out a light laugh, shaking her head as she walked towards the lecture room.

“You’re exaggerating, Senior Brother Gu is gentle and rigorous in his teaching, he’s truly a rare mentor. How could it be as scary as you say?”

Huo Chunyan sniffs and directly rolls her eyes.

“You’re so gifted and enlightened that you naturally can’t appreciate how terrifying Senior Brother Gu is, but us ordinary disciples, we’re miserable! Alas, I really need to hurry up and learn the Sword Royal Art before I can do so, otherwise I won’t be able to eat the ten spirit stones of road money per day.”

Xu Chuniang heard this and gave Huo Chunyan a somewhat surprised look.

Through these days together, the two of them had sort of gotten to know each other a bit. She also has a rough understanding of Huo Chunyan’s nature.

Huo Chunyan was a big-hearted person, and was even more generous with her spirit stones, so why had she ever bothered about these ten spirit stones?
Huo Chunyan is slightly embarrassed by Xu Chuniang’s look.

It’s not that she’s careful with her budget, but she’s really shy.

“It’s not that I’m crying poor ah, originally I wasn’t to this, but some time ago I was borrowed 3,000 contribution points, and my entire family was emptied out, so it’s not poor?”

Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, “Borrowed out so much? Didn’t you say you only had a total of three thousand six?”

At the mention of this, Huo Chunyan gritted her teeth in hatred.

“It can’t be helped, didn’t I tell you earlier that I’ve worshipped Realist Zhao Xuanqi as my master? He has an entry-level disciple who wants to build his foundation, and he’s still short of some contribution points to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he approached me.”

Huo Chunyan had a helpless face, “Although I have Foundation Establishment cultivation, I’m only a named disciple in the end, so I gritted my teeth and borrowed from him.”

Xu Chuniang nods, able to understand Huo Chunyan’s situation.

“But three thousand contribution points, I’m sure he won’t renege on the debt, right?”

“If he’s going to renege, he’ll have to be there. If he fails to build his foundation and directly perishes, won’t my three thousand contribution points be a waste of money?”

Every time she thought of this, Huo Chunyan became furious.

As a Three Spirit Root, she had used only one Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully establish her foundation, and it had to be said that there was some luck involved.

As a double spirit root, that person who failed to build a foundation with three foundation building pills could only be said to have no connection to the Great Dao.

If she had known that this would be the result, she would rather offend people than borrow the contribution points.

Xu Chuniang heard, face sympathetic color, three thousand contribution points although not much, but it is not too little.

“In order to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill, that senior brother not only owed debts everywhere, but also took all of his escort’s contribution points, and that escort was devastated by the blow, and directly fell apart. He is also quite famous, called Wei Da Wu, you should have heard of it, right?”

Xu Chuniang’s footsteps lurched, and only after a moment did she slowly speak, “I’ve heard of him.”

“Yes, just such a talented disciple, no one expected to fail in building the foundation.”

Huo Chunyan doesn’t notice Xu Chuniang’s abnormality and has a pained expression, “On the contrary, it’s only common for those with three spirit roots like me to fail at foundation building. Alas no more, listen to the lesson.”

Xu Chuniang did not expect that the person Huo Chunyan was talking about was Wei Dawu.

After learning this news, it was unexpected, but on second thought, it made sense. She couldn’t say what she felt in her heart, but only recalled the conversation between the two in the flying boat on the day she was just selected to join the Easy Sect.

At that time, they were young and ignorant, knowing nothing about the world of cultivation. It was just an agreement to cultivate well and work hard together.

But at some point, between her and Wei Dawu, there was a disconnect and distance, and later on, they even completely flipped out and became strangers.

Xu Chuniang’s heart rose with a faint perplexity, and when she was sent out on a mission before, she had returned to her hometown once.

Wei Dawu’s father, Wei Laoqi, also made a special trip to find her, asking about Wei Dawu’s recent situation.

Now it’s been more than ten years, Uncle Wei Qi may still be alive, but Wei Dawu has already perished.

The road of cultivation, seems to be a smooth road, but it is difficult step by step.

Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and pushed down the thoughts in her mind, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, she will go on unswervingly.

Walking into the lecture room, seeing that there were still empty seats, a smile appeared on Huo Chunyan’s face.

“Today’s lecturer is Elder Yan Yu of the Thousand Chance Peak, she is known for her expertise in the Chain Formation, and throughout the entire Thousand Chance Peak, her formation attainments can be ranked in the top three.”

Xu Chuniang returned to her senses and followed Huo Chunyan to sit down at a seat.

Yesterday, she had already finished her gongfu lessons, and from today onwards, she could practice formations without any distractions.

“I haven’t studied formations before, will what Elder Yan is talking about be too advanced for me?”

“Just don’t worry about listening! Elder Yan’s lectures are on the basics of the formation dao, and are just right for disciples like us who are new to learning formations.”

After the two of them, people continued to come towards the lecture room until the entire lecture room could no longer be seated, and only then did a female cultivator dressed in a pale yellow dress step into it.

With her beautiful appearance and extraordinary demeanor, she was none other than the Thousand Chance Peak Yan Yu Realist.

“The so-called Dao of Formation is a way derived from the Taiji. Legend has it that the ancient sages evolved the Taiji and the two instruments, giving birth to the four elephants and eight trigrams, which is the beginning of the Dao of Formation. That is why all formations are based on this.”

Elder Yan Yu swept his eyes from the crowd and with a wave of his hand, a formation disk appeared in his hand.

“This small array disk, is also the same. In it, the eight gates and two meters, one is indispensable. The eight gates are: open, rest, life, injury, du, jing, death, and shock.

These eight gates are also known as formation gates. Corresponding to Qiankan Burgundy Zhen, Xunli Kun Tui. Each of these gates has its own meaning.”

Saying that, she punched a spell into the formation disk, breaking down the structures one by one and explaining them in detail.

When it came to the deep and obscure, she would also give a detailed explanation.

After one lesson, the crowd only felt enlightened and benefited greatly.

The usual complicated and boring way of formations seemed to be less difficult after Elder Yan’s narration.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and after Elder Yan had left for a long time, there were still people who stayed in the lecture room and refused to leave.

Huo Chunyan sighs and heads outside.

“If I can listen to Elder Yan’s lectures on the way of formations day in and day out, I’m afraid that it won’t be long before I’ll be able to set up a Grade 1 Upper Grade Formation.”

Although Elder Yan’s lectures were all about the basics, every time he listened, he would be able to gain new gains and insights.

Xu Chuniang had a look of recognition in her eyes, she originally knew nothing about the way of formations, but after listening to Elder Yan’s sermon, she had gained a lot of knowledge about formations.

“The Dao of Formation is truly exquisite, starting from the most basic Taiji Bagua, but with endless variations. The first and last are connected and interlocked, it is truly marvelous.”

“Wonderful? Don’t you find it difficult?”

Huo Chunyan threw her an incredulous glance.
