Chapter 385 (1/2)
Qin Yun entered the quiet secret chamber and took out many beast skins. He was preparing to create the flags needed for the flag array.
”It should take at least fifty array flags to cover the entire medicinal field!” He looked at the beast skins in his storage space. They were still sufficient for him to use.
Originally, he had planned on refining an array pillar. An array formation with an array pillar would have a much better effect than an array flag. However, refining the array pillars required a long time.
This was because the materials needed to refine a single array pillar were all hard materials and the required grade was also high. It would be impossible to complete within a short period of time.
If he were to refine a flag array, he would only need to create a flag.
At this moment, Qin Yun was sorting through the beast skins.
More than two hours later, Yuan Yanying had also finished watering the spirit medicine field.
Qin Yun opened the door to the secret chamber and asked her to come in to help.
Yuan Yanying was in the Martial Dao Realm. With her help in handling the beast skins, it would save Qin Yun a lot of time.
Qin Yun was only refining flags for the flag array. He did not need to do the same with beast skins as he did with the beast skin spirit array.
Since the beast skin spirit formation needed to bear a strong amount of energy, it needed to be forged into bone steel to be stable.
Since there were many flags scattered with pressure, the flag array did not need to be refined into bone steel when making flags.
However, he still had to go through some processing to make the beast skin fit the spirit runes and they would be even more distinct when he carved them.
The process of handling the beast skin was quite simple. After cutting the beast skin, one would infuse the Vajra inner strength of the Martial Dao Realm into the beast skin to let it contain the energy. After burning the beast skin once, the beast skin would absorb the energy to fuse with the spirit runes.
In the end, he could just inscribe the spirit runes on the flag.
With Yuan Yanying's help, Qin Yun was able to produce ten flags in a single day. They were all about the height of a person. It was fine if the flags were made from ordinary metal rods that could be inserted into the ground.
After making the flags, one would need to carve spirit inscriptions. This was the most difficult part.
In five days, Qin Yun and Yuan Yanying had completed fifty flags.
”Just need to carve the spirit rune now!” Qin Yun took a deep breath and felt a headache.
To draw the same spirit rune on fifty flags was truly a headache.
”Brother, your level of inscriptions is very high! Although I don't understand but it's still better than many of the Inscription Masters I've heard of!” Yuan Yanying exclaimed in surprise when she saw how smooth and clear Qin Yun's calligraphy brush was.
Qin Yun could only smile.
The spirit inscriptions that he needed to inscribe were very complicated. The first thing he needed to do was to inscribe a complete set of the Nine Yang Spirit Convergence Array's spirit inscriptions onto a small flag and then merge it with the water gathering array.
This is the fusion of two Spirit Arrays!
It wasn't difficult to draw the two Spirit Arrays separately. The difficult part was that when the Spirit Arrays merged, they did not conflict with each other and could even assist each other.
The Nine Yang Spirit Convergence Array was responsible for gathering a large amount of Nine Yang energy and then the water gathering array would quickly absorb the gathered Nine Sun energy and condense it into spirit liquid.
Qin Yun did not know if it would work. It was just his idea.
”Looks like I need two sets of flag array formations!” As Qin Yun inscribed the spirit runes, he pondered over the matter.
This was because after condensing the Nine Yang Spirit Liquid, a flag array would be needed to gather the spirit liquid and float it in the air before sprinkling it evenly over the medicine garden's fields.
”We only need to add a Rain Spirit Array!” Qin Yun said to Yuan Yanying, ”Yanying, go find the Second Elder and ask him if he has a Rain Spirit Array!”
”Alright!” Yuan Yanying left in a hurry.
The ordinary rain Spirit Array was only able to gather the water in the air and then bring it down. It was also a very simple Spirit Array.
This type of formation was usually a flag formation because it covered a large area. After all, it needed to rain.
If the second elder had it, Qin Yun would not need to forge it.
Yuan Yanying came back very quickly and she took out dozens of flags from her storage bag.
”The Second Elder said that he hasn't used it in a long time. Before we can use it, we need to comb through the spirit runes with inner energy!” Yuan Yanying said.
”Hm! Yanying, I'll leave this to you!” Qin Yun said with a smile, ”It's a very simple matter!”
Under Qin Yun's guidance, Yuan Yanying had mastered the art of combing spirit runes. It was indeed simple. After all, it was only a flag's spirit runes.
Qin Yun looked at the many flags waiting to be inscribed. He wished that he could immediately go to the Moon Profound Valley to fetch Lan Fengjin for help.
After all, he was still too young and when he was doing this repetitive, highly concentrated flag-making, he appeared to be rather impatient.
Fortunately, he was able to quickly overcome the impatience in his heart and quietly and earnestly draw.
He had Mental Resonance Xuan Pen, so when he was inscribing spirit runes, it was much faster.
Fifty flags meant that he had to inscribe the Nine Yang Spirit Convergence Array fifty times!
One could imagine how complicated a formation's spirit runes were. Now he wanted to condense it into a flag!
It took him five days to inscribe on one flag.
To other Spirit Inscription Masters, Qin Yun's speed was extremely fast!
Most importantly, other Inscription Masters were unable to inscribe such a complicated array on a small flag!
Actually, creating a set of flags did not need to be covered with the same inscriptions. It was possible to inscribe multiple sets of spirit runes required for a formation on different flags.
