The waste she became the first array mage

Li Yirou has always believed that in order to do many things well, talent and hard work are one part, and the other part is mentality, and what she is best at adjusting is her own mentality.

No matter what others say, she wants to live a good life.

She was used to reading during the day. Since she was born in the mortal world, the basics that she should have known long ago were all new knowledge to her, so she had to spend time reading one book after another.

After looking through the titles of several books again, Li Yirou curiously picked up the book "Formation First" and began to read it slowly.

The books that record the basics of cultivation are very thin, and they only talk about the most basic knowledge of cultivation. For people in the world of cultivation, it is common sense that even illiterate people know, but she does not understand it.

Only after reading the book "Arrays" did she realize that the array plate used by Master Minjing was actually used to assist in setting up arrays.

Moreover, setting up an array formation does not necessarily require an array plate. One can also directly place spirit stones in the corresponding positions and then use cultivators to induce the generation of spiritual power. However, that would consume too much energy in the spirit stones and the effect of the array would not be as good as that of an array plate.

Combined with the formation formed by the formation plate, the effect is more obvious, and the energy consumption in the spirit stone is also much lower.

For example, if you use only spirit stones to build a low-level concealment defense array, you need three low-grade spirit stones to maintain it for 7 days. But if you use an array plate, you only need one low-grade spirit stone.

As for why it is called formation first, it is because if the formation is used before practicing, it is equivalent to adding a buff to the cultivator, which can improve the effect of practice and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Before practicing, monks usually need to set up several basic formations: one is the spirit gathering formation, which can increase the concentration of the surrounding spiritual energy to facilitate better sensing of the spiritual energy;

The second is to conceal the defensive formation to prevent other cultivators from using their spiritual sense to spy on and disturb their cultivation. It is also a layer of protection to prevent other cultivators and monsters from invading at will.

The third is the meditation array, but this array is not very necessary for her. It is mainly used to block external sounds and help her enter a state of meditation.

Li Yirou previously thought that everything would be fine after buying an array plate, but she didn't expect that she would need to place spirit stones to activate the array plate.

Not only is her cultivation level a problem now, but poverty has also become another big problem for her.

Moreover, she discovered from this book why people say that the five spiritual roots are useless. Not only is the cultivation speed slow and difficult, but more importantly, it consumes resources.

Take the Spirit Gathering Array for example. A single spiritual root is enough to gather one kind of spiritual energy. A spiritual stone can support the formation of the array for a longer time. However, she needs the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array to practice, and the speed of spiritual stone consumption is also much faster.

Li Yirou sighed and continued to open the next book, "Ten Methods of Tempering the Body".

She felt even more depressed after reading it. She thought that body tempering was to use spiritual energy to improve the meridians and dantian, and she thought there was something special that needed attention. She didn't expect that it was an internal transformation, and it would be best for cultivators to improve the outside of their bodies as well.

After tempering the body, more spiritual energy will be absorbed and the external resistance will be greatly improved.

Just like a house, cultivation only renovates the interior, while the outside still looks old and dilapidated; while tempering the body and cultivation can make it look brand new from the inside out.

A layman like her didn't know that most cultivators would temper their bodies first and then practice, laying a solid foundation before beginning to draw Qi into the body, so that they would basically not feel any pain during practice.

This book talks about the method of tempering the body, which requires boiling various spiritual plants into medicinal baths, and the transformation process will be painful.

But she practiced first and then tempered her body, so she had to suffer pain twice.

The book records seven prescriptions, focusing on strengthening the body from six parts: skin, blood vessels, muscles, nerves, bones, internal organs, and the final overall tempering; supplemented by carrying a tripod (also known as weightlifting) to increase strength, horse stance to enhance stability, and running (also known as jogging) to increase speed, a total of ten methods.

This book is very friendly to low-level cultivators. Except for the seven medicinal materials required for the total quenching, the rest of the seven prescriptions only require three of each.

The pain has become a secondary problem. For a poor person like Li Yiru, it is difficult to collect all these things.

Especially for the total quenching, seven sets of medicine and seven medicinal baths are needed; the others also require three sets of medicine and three medicinal baths.

It is recorded in the book that it costs 1 point to quench three sets of medicine alone, for a total of 6 points. A total of quenching the body with seven sets of medicine also costs 6 points, for a total of 12 points. This is still a bargain price for inner disciples.

If you use spirit stones to buy it outside, the price will be about 24 low-grade spirit stones.

She originally wanted to buy the formation plate first, but now she was tempted by the need to temper her body. After thinking about it, she decided to save up points for 3 months to temper her body first.

However, she can do the three things of carrying the tripod, horse stance and running, so she can start tomorrow.

.

After reading for a while, Li Yirou began to practice again. When she could no longer enter into meditation, she opened her eyes and found that late night had quietly arrived again.

The condition of the Blood Spirit Grass in the space has recovered a lot. The branches that were about to fall down now stand upright, with only the leaves still drooping; Taxue's breathing is long and he is sleeping soundly.

Outside the window, the night was as dark as water. In the silence, the sounds of insects and animals seemed clearer. Li Yirou suddenly remembered the days when the original owner spent time in Linxian Village.

I don't know how Xifeng is doing. Without this unlucky girl who gets into trouble every other day, Xifeng would have fewer troubles. I hope she can live a happy and peaceful life.

I don’t know what happened to Li Chang’s family. Don’t let her wait for the chance to go back, otherwise it will be their death.

She stroked the thin silver bracelet on her wrist. Under the moonlight, the pattern on the bracelet was very beautiful. The raised stamen part reflected five light spots, three of which were arranged in a familiar order.

Li Yirou touched lightly with her fingertips and frowned. The arrangement of the three flowers was extremely similar to the concealment formation!

As if she had discovered some secret, her heartbeat quickened slightly, and she tried to inject her spiritual consciousness into the bracelet.

The silver bracelet was successfully branded with her spiritual consciousness and became her own magic weapon.

She was not very clear about the grades of magic tools, she only knew roughly that there were three grades: low, medium and high. She did not understand what kind of silver bracelet this was, she only knew that its function was to hide.

Conceal your cultivation level, but you can only suppress it, for example, from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the first level, she can now become like a mortal; hide the traces of your spiritual consciousness, like a cloaking formation, you can hide in the dark without being discovered, but it lacks the function of defensive defense.

It seemed that she could also conceal her spiritual consciousness. When her spiritual consciousness spread out, other cultivators would not be able to discover her secret observation.

Li Yiru was absorbed in studying the bracelet, concentrating her spiritual consciousness on it without releasing it to the outside. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow in the window out of the corner of her eye, and her body trembled with fright.

When she turned around, she saw two small flashlight-like lights staring at her. It turned out to be Haruyuki, and she was almost scared by her again.

She patted her chest. This was her benefactor, no, her benefactor. She couldn't be angry if it noticed something strange. She had to keep smiling and greet it with the best spirit!

Moreover, before becoming her disciple, Han Yuzhen clearly stated that she would accompany Chunxue whenever she came, so Li Yirou raised her throat and spoke softly: "Chunxue, you are here~"

“Come in…” Before she could even utter the word “come”, Haruyuki snorted and turned away.

……

Li Yirou waved helplessly, sending it off with full sincerity, "Haruxue, take care~"

What a strange tiger.
