The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 171 Introduction to Formation Martial Arts

Although he was resentful, Master Zhen also knew that a formation master was not as attractive as an alchemist.

A formation warrior can indeed display powerful combat capabilities, but the speed of training is not fast, and requires extremely high talent and tenacious patience.

But it is different for alchemists. As long as they can get started and learn, they can refine pills, constantly improve their physical fitness and promote the growth of spiritual energy, which complements each other and forms a virtuous cycle.

Moreover, this old fellow Huo Lao actually used high-level elixirs to tempt Tang Yan. At this moment, Zhen Lao was quite upset, because the conditions he offered were indeed not as good as others.

"Being an alchemist is good, but I want to learn formation martial arts!" Tang Yan changed the subject and expressed his wish.

"what?"

Not only was Elder Huo shocked, but Elder Zhen also stared at Tang Yan with wide eyes, trying to confirm from his face whether he was joking.

Soon they realized that Tang Yan's expression was extremely serious and he didn't seem to be lying.

"Little guy, are you really willing to learn formation martial arts?" Master Zhen's eyes lit up.

"Yes!" Tang Yan nodded.

"Boy, you have to think it through!" Huo Lao was immediately anxious. Such a good seedling would actually choose Zhenwu? Isn't this a wrong path?

"Thank you, Master Huo, for your appreciation. However, I am more interested in fighting now. With interest and hard work, I should be able to practice quickly." Tang Yan politely declined.

"Okay, Old Huo, since Tang Yan is willing to learn martial arts from me, there is no need to force him. You go back and rest first, I'm going to teach my apprentice." Old Zhen patted his old friend's shoulder with a smile to comfort him, and then he ignored Old Huo, excitedly picked up Tang Yan, and disappeared on the spot in a flash.

"You old man are so lucky, but you'll step on dog shit when you go out!" Looking at Zhen's receding back, Old Huo cursed without caring about his image.

Within a few breaths, Tang Yan was brought to a courtyard by Master Zhen.

"Zhen Pavilion!" After looking at the plaque on the door, Tang Yan followed Master Zhen into the courtyard.

After turning several corners, we arrived at a hall, which was brightly lit, as bright as day. The huge place seemed extremely empty.

“An excellent alchemist can refine high-grade elixirs, and these elixirs are also extremely coveted by countless people.

If you become an alchemist, your status will be respected by the world, and others will owe you countless favors for accepting your elixirs.

Some people will give you high-level martial arts, and some people will risk their lives for you. You can go anywhere in the world, even in the demon sect that kills people without blinking an eye, you can still be treated as a guest of honor!

It is extremely difficult for a formation master to practice. Even if he practices to the Mahayana stage, he cannot have countless connections like an alchemist.

Moreover, the formation diagrams needed for formation fighting are extremely difficult to obtain.

Compared with the two, you obviously have a better future in choosing to be an alchemist." Zhen Lao stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were extremely deep, he looked at Tang Yan calmly and asked: "Can you tell me why you chose Zhen Wu?"

Tang Yan pondered for a moment and smiled slightly: "As Master Zhen said, being an alchemist does have many advantages. But Zhenwu also has its subtleties.

Although the boy has not yet learned the martial arts formation, the first-level formation that the old master had used before was quite powerful.

The combination of formation martial arts and martial arts can double a person's combat power.

The alchemist's power is partly due to the fact that he is sought after by outsiders, and his influence is prominent.

As for the formation master, he makes himself stronger.

I like the feeling of mastering power, so I chose Zhenwu. "

Hearing Tang Yan's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhen Lao's eyes. It turned out that such a young boy had such profound insights.

“Hahaha…” Master Zhen’s face was filled with smiles as he exclaimed, “You understand correctly. A formation martial artist cultivates himself to make himself stronger. A formation martial artist can completely challenge stronger opponents and not be controlled by others!”

At this moment, Master Zhen looked at Tang Yan with more and more fondness.

“The longer you can endure in the Nine Nether Sea of Fire, the higher your mental strength is.

Although you have passed our test during your time in there, whether you have talent for spirit formations or not still needs to be learned through practice.

Now, I will teach you the layout of the formation."

"Zhanwu is to integrate the formation into martial arts, arranging them in wonderful combinations to amplify the power. The formation can be regarded as a building, and each combination that forms the formation is called a formation point!"

"Array points are the foundation for the formation of array martial arts. If you can condense array points within twenty-four hours, it means that you have reached the standard for practicing array martial arts.

If you can condense the formation points within twelve hours, it means that you have a strong talent in formation martial arts. If you practice diligently, you will shine in this field in the future."

Tang Yan nodded slightly. The shorter the time it took to condense the formation point, the higher the talent.

"This is the entry-level method of formation martial arts. You can study it here. When you have condensed the formation points, I will come to find you again." Master Zhen put down a jade tube and left the hall.

Tang Yan took the jade tube, and as soon as he thought about it, a mantra came into his mind.

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Yan had memorized the formula and began to ponder its meaning word by word.

"Use mental power to control spiritual power, condense the formation points, and start to combine to form a formation... This martial arts formation is indeed incomparably exquisite."

Having lived two lives, Tang Yan has a huge advantage in terms of knowledge and comprehension.

The obscure formula was deduced layer by layer thanks to Tang Yan's extraordinary talent.

The true energy in the body gushed out like a tide. An incomparably powerful divine consciousness controlled the true energy, gradually forming a light blue spot in the air.

Tang Yan stared at the blue dot. It was a deep azure color, and there seemed to be waves flowing on it. It was very beautiful.

With a thought, the array point moved in the air.

Tang Yan found this very interesting. After practicing for about a quarter of an hour, he finally stopped.

“It is written in the formula that the more formation points a formation master can condense, the higher the level of the spiritual formation he can perform.

I wonder how many array points I can set up at most?

I have just condensed a formation point. I wonder if it is too hasty to condense more formation points in such a hurry?"

After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't resist his curiosity anymore and he cheered himself up. The majestic true energy surged out again and two blue array points suddenly appeared in the air.

This was also thanks to Tang Yan's experience in controlling the Fire of Heaven and Earth. As the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, the Fire of Heaven and Earth is much more difficult to control than this array point.

Soon, the third array point was refined by Tang Yan.

After a quarter of an hour, the fourth array point began to jump in front of Tang Yan as if it had life.

……

As soon as Master Zhen walked out of the hall, he saw his old friend's angry figure rushing towards him.

"Old Zhen, is that kid possessed by a ghost? Why did he choose Master Zhen?" Seeing Old Zhen, Old Huo couldn't help but complain.

He had originally planned to go back and rest, but on the way back he became angrier and angrier, thinking that Tang Yan was just being foolish for a moment.

"Okay, Old Huo, we have been in Qinglong Academy for hundreds of years. Aren't we all serving Qinglong Academy? Why bother about such a small matter. If Tang Yan achieves something in the field of formation martial arts in the future, it will be good for all of us." Old Zhen comforted.

"Humph, you sound better than singing!" After complaining, Huo Lao asked again: "Where is that kid?"

"I taught him the introductory skills. If he can sense the formation points within twelve hours and refine a formation point, then I can assuredly teach him the secrets of formation martial arts." A smile flashed in the eyes of the old man.

“Practicing formation martial arts is more difficult than refining pills. If you can refine the formation points within a day, you can be called a formation genius.

If one can refine it within six hours, he can be called a genius.

I don't know if this kid can pass. I guess he doesn't even understand the mental method now. "Old Huo smiled, walked into the hall, and looked at Tang Yan in the corner.

When he saw the scene inside, Huo Lao's mouth opened wide instantly and his expression froze.
