Chapter 24: The First Practical Application Was A Perfect Success

  Li Shi was also quite experienced and calm, but at this moment her heart was pounding like a drum. She clenched her jade fist, if she hadn't heard it clearly, she would have thought she had misheard earlier.

  "Three-product array! Her own cave mansion actually has a three-product array!" The scene she had been dreaming of for a long time was finally about to come true. In the Han country, array masters were extremely rare, and those who could set up a three-product array were even more scarce, with no more than 100 high-ranking array masters in the entire Han country with a population of hundreds of billions.

  It is precisely because of this that the formation masters with the surname Tian are arrogant and disdainful of ordinary warriors. Even those major sects, sacred lands and other mysterious powers will go to great lengths to recruit high-ranking formation masters and fawn on them. A sect, no matter how powerful, relies on its protective mountain array as its strongest defense. Having a large array means being able to withstand a massive group attack. Moreover, it's not just the protective mountain array; some secret places within the sect, such as the Beast Breeding Valley or the Treasure Pavilion, also require formation protection.

  It's already not easy to encounter an Array Master, let alone a high-ranking one who can set up three products. To make matters worse, this Array Master even agreed to help her build a three-product array and reduced his fee. How could she not be emotionally stirred!

  The scarcity of formation masters means that hiring them for work is an extremely astonishing reward.

  The reward for setting up a three-product array was based on the "space crystal" in her house, which was absolutely not enough, but Lin Heng actually agreed.

  After a while, Li Shi finally calmed down his overwhelming excitement and said: "If it succeeds, I, Li Shi, will be eternally grateful."

  She seemed to remember something and said, "Right, I also have a set of four-piece suit equipment that contains the power of the Read Force Array. I rarely get the chance to use it and can't fully utilize its power. If you successfully arrange the array, I'll give it to you."

  "What kind of weapon is this that contains a reading power formation?" Lin was shocked, this was an extremely frightening weapon.

  "Tongxuan Ice Fire Ring" is a set of weapons, divided into seven rings. When in Qili Gou, the patriarch Huo Tianzhao led several other patriarchs to use the "Tongxuan Ice Fire Ring" as a powerful killer to attack the "Yao Guan Lin Mang". Set-style weapons are more powerful than single-piece style weapons. Or, the power of one set-style weapon is equivalent to the combination of several single-piece style weapons.

  The most important thing is that Li Shi said this set of weapons contains a reading method array.

  Set weapons often have a small amount of law array, which is why set weapons are much rarer than individual weapons.

  What Li Shi said about the "read power formation" weapon refers to this set of weapons that can be used by one person. For example, those flying sword arrays can be controlled by one person, without dozens of people each commanding a sword. The "Tongxuan Ice and Fire Ring" used by the former clan leader is a collective ritual array-style weapon, which can only be commanded separately by each person, but cannot be combined.

  A set of weapons that contain the power of a unique law array, absolutely top-notch weapons, I didn't expect Li Shi to have such an astonishing collection.

  Lin Heng stood suspended in mid-air, observing the formation of the law array, took out more than a dozen space stones and suddenly scattered them in different directions.

  After a brief interval, he threw out five more.

  ...launched the fourth wave, that broken and leaky "Qing Sang Formation" suddenly dimmed its light, with no energy fluctuations at all.

  "Alright. This Qing Sang formation has been broken through, I'll come back tomorrow and reorganize it."

  Because Lin Heng needs to reuse the spatial materials in the original array, this is a subtractive point hole breaking method.

  Ordinary cracking is straightforward and directly disables the law array. This kind of point-hitting cracking has a much higher difficulty than direct cracking. Of course, this kind of repetitive point-hitting cracking only works on low-level law arrays. When encountering high-level law arrays, due to the massive amount of heavenly energy called upon, there's no choice but to directly crack it open.

  Li Shi saw him from the side, calm and composed, continuously throwing out "space stones", and in just half a cup of tea's time, he had destroyed his own large array, greatly admiring him.

  Array masters are array masters, they are actually hundreds of times more powerful than their own kind!

  At this moment, she no longer dares to look down on Lin Huan as an inferior. The power of a formation master cannot be expressed by his martial arts realm. The knowledge of formations is complex and intricate, and a formation master often needs to spend their entire life constantly learning about formations, thus neglecting the practice of martial arts.

  For an array master, what's important is the ability to control and arrange arrays, rather than martial arts cultivation.

  Moreover, after Lin Ruo's martial power reached the late third rank, he also possessed the ability to kill those in the late fourth rank. Among high-ranking formation masters, this was quite rare.

  Such a young high-ranking formation master, with unlimited prospects.

  "How many days will it take to set up the 'Stiff Plum Formation' of the three controlling treasures? Are those materials in my cave enough?" Li Sheng asked cautiously.

  "The materials are more than enough, and there is still a large portion left over. So don't worry, I won't do business at a loss. At least how many days..." Lin Hang hesitated for a moment before saying: "Three days."

  Actually, he wanted to say that it would take half a day. However, he had calculated in his heart that the traditional method of array, even if it was an experienced and skilled array master, would take at least ten days to complete. If he could finish it in half a day, it would be too dazzling, and if he encountered some suspicious array masters who asked questions, it would easily lead to unnecessary trouble.

  "Three days?" Li Shi's eyes widened in disbelief.

  Her formation technique wasn't high, but she had also read a lot of books and knew that these high-level formations usually took half a month or more to set up, yet Lin Huan said it would only take three days?

  The next day early in the morning, Lin Huanru arrived as scheduled.

  This was his first time setting up a large-scale real array, and it was a three-product formation array, excitement and a little tension.

  As for "Jiang Mei Zhen", he was already familiar with it in his heart, and besides, he used the novel concept of arraying troops from ancient books, so there shouldn't be any problem.

  Some well-known formations can be found in books, while the formation masters' control methods are generally only based on the outline of the secret recipe's formation, and the core details are polished by their own ideas. Therefore, there is no understanding of one formation that can decipher all different formation masters' control of the same formation. Of course, understanding the framework outline of this formation still has a great help in deciphering it.

  After all, the formation of a spell array is subject to certain thinking rules. When an array master sets up and controls this spell array, no matter how the details are created, they cannot violate the overall trend of the spell array, so there must be a way to follow.

  "Qing Sang Formation" is only a first-class formation, Lin wants to change it into a third-class formation, then the original Jun Shi will not be applicable.

  He picked out a small bucket-sized "Rainbow Crystal Stone" from the box, specially used as the master stone, and placed it in the array eye of the large formation, starting to set up the formation.

  Halfway up, Lin Huan continuously took out the space stone that was originally inlaid with the space and quickly re-inlaid it into a previously planned position.

  Those "space stones" and space merged into one, visible to the naked eye, but Lin suddenly dug them out with a swipe of his hand, leaving Li Shi staring in amazement.

  As piece after piece of space rock inlaid downwards, a gigantic "Stellar Array" gradually took shape.

  Lin Heng Liu waited until the last few arrays were empty, then jumped down and said: "Today's arrangement is so much, in two days it should be completed."

  Li Shi was barely considered a half-decent formation master, but such a profound formation left her bewildered, and she couldn't see Lin Heng holding back.

  Two days later, the sky thundered again, and the "Jiangmei Array" shone brightly. Suddenly, the sky shook violently, and a grayish-white mist rose from the horizon, enveloping the cave within the array, making it impossible to see anything inside.

  Lin Heng clapped his hands and descended from the sky: "The great achievement is accomplished!"

  He handed Li Shinao's guest Qinglong elder's seal back to her: "This is the key to entering the Great Array."

  Li Shi's emotions were stirred and excited, trembling as he took the seal: "My cave will finally have a third-grade defensive formation..."

  Facing the massive array that resembled an overturned bowl, she reached out with a large hand and unleashed a claw-shaped virtual shadow condensed from her sixth-grade profound energy, striking the "Stiff Plum Array".

  A fierce surge of law shook violently for a moment, and the wave of light revolved. This powerful sixth-grade condensed force was immediately rebounded by more than half, and then disappeared.

  Li Shi's expression changed color, no wonder he was a third-grade law array, and he could actually withstand his own sixth-grade yuan force!

  In theory, the Three-Product Formation can only withstand the impact of a strong person below the fifth rank, and cannot withstand the sixth rank's accumulated power. However, this is Lin Huan's arrangement in an ancient style, almost reaching the peak state of the third rank, and Li Shi is not exerting her full strength either. The formation being able to block her one move is quite normal.

  Lin Heng saw that the big array was so solid, and his heart was greatly settled. After all, this was his first real battle, and he was able to withstand Li Shi's one move, formally proving that this "Stiff Plum Array" had withstood a true test.

  Li Shi inserted the seal into the concave slot that had appeared in the large array, and led Lin Huan's illusory body inside. After a round of testing up and down, left and right, the formation was flawless, far more perfect than she had imagined. She couldn't help but feel admiration: this Lin Huan was really impressive, setting up such a grand formation as if he were an old master with decades of research experience, without any leaks or flaws, pure and natural, and of exceptional quality!

  The task is completed, and then it's time to pay the reward.

  Lin Heng had been waiting for this moment, and this time he renovated, using a box and a half of space materials, but still leaving seven large boxes and a half box. Facing the full "space stone" and a book box, Lin Heng was overjoyed, but also somewhat troubled: too many things, the "space pill" couldn't hold them all.

  He saw him wave his hand, and first put the array of books on the bookshelf into the "space bead". Next, he also took in five large boxes, and the space bead was already full, unable to hold any more. Faced with the three remaining large boxes, Lin Yang had no choice but to shoulder them.

  Li Shi originally thought he would have to make four or five trips to move the eight large boxes, but unexpectedly, in just a blink of an eye, the entire room full of things was left with only three boxes.

  It's obvious that Lin Rong has a "space bead" on him, and it can store large boxes and books of different types. It must be an extremely precious "space bead".

  She couldn't help but feel envious again, even with her own six-product cultivation, she only had a "space bead", and it was just a one-star water-based space bead. This Lin Heng was really hard to see through, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was unfathomable.
