Chapter 175 Formation Class
The Shangguan family was already the dominant family in Qionghua City, not to mention that they also held a very important position in the Tianyan Continent. No cultivator dared to object to the younger generations of the Shangguan family sitting in the best seats in the audience.
Despite this, perhaps because they disdained to have any interaction with the wandering cultivators and unfamiliar monks, several young monks from the Shangguan family not only occupied the best view in the front row with high spirits, but also arrogantly drove away the monks in the positions behind them.
The monks who were driven away also had a certain status. Some of them were monks from the forces affiliated with the Shangguan family, and some came from other major forces specifically to participate in the Formation Master Conference, but due to the power and face of the Shangguan family, they had to swallow their anger.
Of course, some monks with backgrounds similar to the Shangguan family were still given preferential treatment and were personally led by the Shangguan family's servants to the positions that had been arranged long ago.
Seeing this wave of operations, Lin Xia couldn't help but feel fortunate in her heart. Fortunately, although her current position was also forward, it was not the position with the best view, otherwise she would probably not be able to live in peace.
However, Lin Xia still felt a little more emotional in his heart. In the world of cultivation, strength still matters. Without strength, there is no status, and without status, it is easy to suffer unfair treatment.
When it was almost dark, a middle-aged male cultivator who looked very elegant finally sat down at the lecture seat in the center of the martial arts field and began the first lesson of this formation master conference.
At this time, all the lighting tools on the training ground were lit up, illuminating the entire training ground like daylight.
Lin Xia learned from the discussions of other cultivators that this elegant middle-aged male cultivator was an elder of the Shangguan family, named Shangguan Yue. He had a high status in the Shangguan family and his attainments in formation were quite profound. Even in the Shangguan family, there were many younger generations who wanted to become disciples of this formation master.
Although the Shangguan family is a family of formations, not everyone is good at it, and not everyone is scheming to pursue this art. Otherwise, the Shangguan family would not be strong enough to maintain their position just by relying on formations, let alone pass it down for tens of thousands of years.
However, when it comes to attainments in formation, in the entire Tianyan Continent, if the Shangguan family is second, no one dares to claim to be first.
Almost every descendant of the Shangguan family has dabbled in the art of formations, but only a few of them specialize in formations, while the rest have their own different paths.
Soon, a light cough was heard from the martial arts arena, and the monks in the audience suddenly quieted down.
Shangguan Yue looked around and spoke slowly. His voice was gentle and powerful. With the blessing of spiritual power, it almost spread throughout the entire martial arts field and rang clearly in the ears of every cultivator. "Today, I will discuss the way of formation with all of you fellow Taoists. I hope to encourage each other."
Hey, I have to say that Shangguan Yue is quite humble and doesn't put on airs. Unlike Shangguan Yanxi who is so arrogant, he won the favor of many monks in the audience with just one sentence.
Lin Xia couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the older you get, the wiser you become.
The Shangguan family's formation master conference is held once every hundred years. Except for some second-generation rich people, the other cultivators in the audience have all come from other areas to Qionghua City. They are very fond of formations, so they all cherish this opportunity to get guidance from the formation master.
Shangguan Yue did not waste any time and soon began to talk about some knowledge of formations.
Since Lin Xia came to the world of cultivation, in addition to learning some knowledge of cultivation in the Su family in Zhongzhou when he was in Qianyuan Continent, he relied almost entirely on his own to explore whether it was drawing talismans, refining pills, swordsmanship or formations.
Now, although Lin Xia has achieved profound attainments in the art of formations and can even repair the ancient teleportation formation by himself, Lin Xia still does not have a deep understanding and learning of some basic knowledge and theoretical extensions of formations.
Shangguan Yue is worthy of being a master of formations. He explains some formation knowledge and theories in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and gives examples from time to time. For Lin Xia, it is like an epiphany.
Shangguan Yue's voice slowly came, "The beauty of the formation lies in its infinite variations. It can be used to defend against the enemy, to trap the enemy, and to assist in cultivation."
The monks in the audience were listening attentively, and Lin Xia was also concentrating and listening very seriously.
Before they knew it, the night was getting darker, but the monks on the martial arts field showed no sign of tiredness.
Xiaochu and Uncle Shu were already sleeping soundly in Lin Xia's arms. Xiaochu's saliva almost soaked the old mother's clothes. In order to make the two little ones more comfortable, Lin Xia used the cover of the spirit beast bag to send them into the Qinglin space.
Shangguan Yue's lecture lasted for three days, and the knowledge about the formation became deeper and broader. Similarly, Lin Xia listened attentively for three days.
At this point, the differences among the cultivators gradually became apparent, and it was almost impossible to detect each cultivator's talent in formation without careful investigation.
Some monks' eyes lit up with golden light and they gradually became excited, while some monks became confused and drowsy.
For some cultivators who have just embarked on the path of formation, or those who have only a superficial understanding of formation knowledge, as well as some cultivators who have no talent in the path of formation at all, many of the things Shangguan Yue said later were almost like heavenly books and could not resonate with these cultivators.
After Shangguan Yue finished his lecture, without even a pause, a new formation master was appointed to the lecture hall.
Time flies, and more than a month has passed. During this period, Lin Xia has never left the audience seats of the martial arts arena, and has been immersed in the exquisite formation classes of the formation masters.
This trip to Qionghua City was really not in vain. After taking the formation class for more than a month, Lin Xia felt that he benefited a lot.
……
This formation master conference held by the Shangguan family can actually be divided into three parts. The first part is the lecture by the formation master.
After the lectures of the formation masters were over, it was time for the second part, which was also the real exchange meeting. Now it was the turn of the younger generations from each family and many independent cultivators to take the stage.
The last part is the formation master competition. At that time, the Shangguan family will take out the ancient formation diagram, the family treasure, and observe the number of formation structures lit up by the monks to determine the final winner.
The final round of the formation master competition was the most anticipated event. Not only could the cultivators see the Shangguan family's treasure with their own eyes, but they could also personally use their spiritual consciousness to probe into the ancient formation diagrams and light up the formation diagrams.
Lin Xia had heard from the cultivators around him that since the Shangguan family held the formation master conference, no cultivator had been able to completely light up any of the ancient formation diagrams.
