In the next two days, we continued to test the spiritual pressure of South Second Peak and obtained a large amount of data in eight directions.

South Wuzhou is surrounded by two mountain groups. The Beishan group has seven peaks, covering the northwest, due north, and due east directions. The Nanshan group has five peaks, forming a barrier in the southwest and due south. The two mountain groups surround it.

360,000 acres of Central Valley forest.

After testing the second southern peak, Taoist Priest Lingyuan spent another six days testing the remaining peaks in the Nanshan Group. After completion, he asked Gu Zuo: "There are two ways to deploy the formation. One is to combine the southern main peak, the second peak and the third peak."

The southeastern part of the three peaks is included in the formation. The other option is to deploy the second southern peak separately. Which one should I choose, Master Gu?"

"Does the Three Yuan Jishen Formation have such a large coverage area?" Gu Zuo was a little surprised.

There is also a Shuitian Xuanyuan Formation on Gengjin Mountain, but the coverage area is less than 800 acres, which just covers the entire mountain. The South Second Peak is a large mountain, covering an area of ​​10,000 acres. Gu Zuo originally thought that the Three Yuan Jizhen Formation could cover the peak.

The waist is pretty good, but I didn’t expect that the alternative plan proposed by Taoist Master Lingyuan actually included more than half of the South Main Peak and the South Three Peaks. This area together covers more than 38,000 acres!

Taoist Priest Lingyuan immediately explained to him.

The Sanyuan Jishen Grand Array is a top-level array, and stabilizing spiritual pressure is just one of its many functions. If there is no spiritual power here, its coverage area is about three times that of the Shuitian Xuanyuan Array, which is about two thousand acres.

, but if the array is deployed on the spirit stone veins, it can expand ten times or more than twenty times.

According to the data measured by Lingyuan Taoist Master, there are two ways to set up the array, one large and one small. For mining spiritual stones, there is not much difference. The difference in coverage range is mainly due to the effectiveness of the array itself.

If it is larger, there will be more places to protect; if it is smaller, the corresponding loss of spiritual stones will be much lighter.

The Sanyuan Jishen Formation has nine nodes. If you choose to deploy it in a small area, more than 360 spirit stones will be consumed every year when mining the spirit minerals. When the protective effect of the large array is activated, each node will consume one spirit stone per day.

If the killing array effect is fully activated, one spiritual stone will be consumed at each node every hour.

If you choose to deploy in a large area, when the spiritual pressure is stabilized, the consumption of spiritual stones is no different from that in a small area. The same is a total of more than 360 spiritual stones per year. However, if the protection or killing array function is turned on, the consumption of spiritual stones will be

It will be three times that of small-scale deployment.

After all, Nanwu Prefecture is in the southern part of Heishanzhao, directly facing the front line of southern Xinjiang, so Taoist Priest Lingyuan must consider the protective capabilities when setting up the formation.

Gu Zuo was also thinking about this issue. He had to pay attention to the letter Jiang Xiaozhu left for him that day. Of course he wanted to expand the coverage of the magic circle, preferably to cover the entire Southern Wu Prefecture, but this

Not realistic.

Therefore, after careful calculation, he still chose the latter option. Assuming that the beast tide really broke out next year, assuming that the beast tide really arrived in Nanwu Prefecture, he had to consider how long the formation would last.

According to the scale of the beast tide six years ago, it lasted about three months. If a large-scale array was chosen, it meant that the normal protection consumption of the array was 2,700 spiritual stones. But this was only

It is protection, not lethal, and too passive. When faced with the impact of high-level monsters or a large number of monsters, the killing array function needs to be turned on. It will definitely not be able to withstand light protection without counterattack.

When the magic circle counterattacks, it consumes twenty-seven spiritual stones per hour. If it is used once a day, the consumption will increase by 2,700 yuan in three months; if it is encountered twice, the consumption will increase by 5,400 yuan; if it is used twice, the consumption will increase by 5,400 yuan;

To be extreme, if you encounter it three times, it’s 8,100 yuan!

Even if you are guarding the spirit stone veins, there is no way to use them like this, and it is not worth doing.

If you choose to deploy a small-scale formation, the consumption is only one-third of that of a large-scale formation.

Therefore, Taoist Priest Lingyuan followed his request and only included the second southern peak into the magic circle. As for the main peak and other places, if they really encountered a tide of beasts, they would have to abandon them.

Before setting up, Gu Zuo specially asked Taoist Priest Lingyuan to go to the hillside to measure the spiritual pressure again. The test data this time allowed Taoist Priest Lingyuan to fine-tune the layout plan of the magic circle. He said thoughtfully:

"There may be a mine down here."

Deacon Shang proudly said to Gu Zuo: "How is it? You heard me right, right? My ability to search for dragons and explore caves is famous!"

Of course, Gu Zuo praised Deacon Shang very much, saying something like, "You are so clever, Huaixian Pavilion needs you, and Nanwu Prefecture needs you." The praise made Deacon Shang feel elated and satisfied.

On December 20, Huaixian Pavilion began to set up the Three-Yuan Jishen Formation, and according to the data marked in advance, eighty-one sub-formation disks were driven into key positions.

Every nine pieces of sub-array disks form a small array group, every three small array groups form a sub-array, and the three sub-arrays form a large array, covering the second southern peak in the array.

I was busy until late at night before the entire set of formation disks was completed. A monk was arranged to control each of the nine nodes. The spirit stones were inserted into the holes. Gu Zuo activated the formation compass in the center. Suddenly, red, yellow, and green colors appeared.

Three-color black light rises over the South Second Peak, unpredictable and dazzling.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, looking up and looking at it endlessly. Deacon Shang sighed: "The Huashan Xixuan Sect is worthy of being the most powerful formation master in the world, and our Dongting Sect is worthy of being worthy of it..."

Gu Zuo was extremely happy and said: "There are high-level cultivators from the Dongting Sect who are stationed in Nanwu Province. Our Huaixian Pavilion is not strong enough and we can only rely on this formation."

While observing the large formation, Gao Changjiang immersed himself in reading the formation instructions provided by the Huashan Xixuan Sect, and said: "It seems a little off, I suggest you test the killing formation."

This is inevitable, so Gu Zuo handed the compass to the butcher. The butcher is a golden elixir monk. Only by controlling it can he exert more power of the formation. In fact, the one with the highest cultivation level in the field is Deacon Shang. Unfortunately, Deacon Shang is not

The monks from Huaixian Pavilion hid away to avoid suspicion.

The butcher took the compass and poured his true energy into the compass. After getting familiar with it for a while, he began to exert force.

The Three Yuan Jizhen Formation immediately began to change. As the butcher continued to exert force, it even made a buzzing sound, and the entire South Second Peak began to tremble slightly.

The originally dazzling three-color brilliance in the night sky began to blend and gradually faded away from its original color. Looking up from below, the stars all over the sky disappeared. The night sky was deep and scary.

But there was still some instability. In the deep night sky in the northeast, there was a faint blue light passing through.

Gao Changjiang is worthy of being a master of construction. Although he works in different fields, he can detect problems in advance. With this vision alone, paying him and his disciples an annual salary of 1,600 guan is not expensive at all!

Therefore, Taoist Master Lingyuan began to re-examine the data, and at the same time he also began to seek Gao Changjiang's opinion. The two discussed for half an hour, and began to adjust the layout of the formation disk three times in a row. By the time of the third test of the killing formation, the sky

There is no stray light, only endless darkness.
