Spendthrift Formation Caster
Even if they couldn’t fathom srising Sparrow Returns Formation, they pretended they were researching it. They were already satisfied to see the formation since they believed they’d never be able to master it. They, after all, couldn’t even see them comprehending half of the lines.
Greater Heaven Caster Lu didn’t teach the formation for no rhy or reason; he was trying to force the mysterious genius out of hiding. Whoever could’ve grasped even a miniscule component would’ve been the shy genius he was after.
Formations were split into two categories: fixed and mobile. “Fixed” ant the formation was set in one spot. Mountain protection formations that sects erected were the best example. Beginners were taught only fixed formations. The star formations at Advancent Hall also qualified. Mobile formations were those that one could take anywhere and cast anyti. Ku Mu’s Blood Jade Black Crystal and srising Sparrow Returns Formation were mobile formations.
Mobile formations required formation foundations. Accordingly, formation casters always carried around objects for that purpose. In order to transport their formations, they carved the formations onto the formation foundations. All they had to do thereafter was activate them utilising spiritual energy.
srising Sparrow Returns Formation was easy for Mu Yu to make sense of. It took less than an hour for him to morise the general picture of the formation thanks to the additional takeaways Greater Heaven Caster Lu listed. He was observant enough to catch Greater Heaven Caster Lu intently watching every disciple. To that end, he didn’t take the lesson serious, opting to experint in his own ti out of view.
By the ti the morning lesson was up, Greater Heaven Caster Lu still hadn’t found his target. He was disheartened at first, but a realisation lifted his spirits: if none of the ones present could figure out the formation, the one he was searching for was most likely among the forty-five out on a mission.
I’ll make do with reducing my search radius for now. I’ll find you sooner or later, Greater Heaven Caster Lu inwardly told himself, unaware Mu Yu already saw through his ploy.
Greater Heaven Caster Lu rushed to grab the na list from Ji Wenkai after class.
Mu Yu showed a clean pair of heels as soon as class was dismissed so that he could find sowhere to explore srising Swallow Returns. He erected an illusion and alarm formation around a wood he hid in.
Mu Yu carved srising Swallow Returns on the ground from mory. He didn’t have a photographic mory; however, understanding the function of each line enriched the image in his mind. Based on his mory and so deduction, he corrected so wrong lines after four hours of work. After setting down over a hundred spirit stones on the formation and activated it, the light only flashed.
“Where did I go wrong? Did I get the spiritual energy lines wrong?” Mu Yu went over the six hundred and seventy-two lines but couldn’t find any issue. “Whoa, what the? One flash drained all my spirit stones’ spiritual qi?! Fine, let’s try ten thousand spirit stones.”
Mu Yu activated the formation for six seconds. “Good grief, this is a real expensive profession…”
Lesser Heaven Stage formation foundations were comparable to spirit stones, so they weren’t going to work. Heaven Stage formation foundations were unlikely to be feasible since srising Swallow Returns was a Greater Heaven Stage formation.
Mu Yu went through the cosmic pouch Ku Mu left him and found over a hundred Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations. As soon as Xiaoshuai saw them, he tried to swipe them for a al.
“You want to eat even formation foundations? What don’t you eat?” criticised Mu Yu, whacking Xiaoshuai aside.
Xiaoshuai sniffed. “Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations taste several tis better than fiend spirits. I can’t help it…”
“Eat crap, then,” the dragon vine verbalised.
“I don’t want to eat you,” Xiaoshuai insulted.
Mu Yu let the two have their spat while he experinted with Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations. Although he finally lit up the formation, his glowed black and white instead of blue as Greater Heaven Caster Lu’s did. The five sparrows Mu Yu spawned were black and white. The sad news was that they were slower than Greater Heaven Caster Lu’s.
“Dragon Vine, I need you for an experint.”
The dragon vine reluctantly erged and assud its large form. Without a single warning, Mu Yu directed one of his sparrows to attack the dragon vine.
“What did you dodge so fast for?”
“If I can’t evade a sparrow that slow, I might as well dig myself a hole.”
Mu Yu pointed and opened his mouth, but he had to close it vexingly in the end.
Mu Yu felt his spiritual energy rapidly escaping his body. “Try and attack .”
The dragon vine curled up and sprayed a green dragon blast. An instant after the blast was fired, a black and white mark on its tail flashed, indicating its spiritual energy was concentrated at its tail.
“Hey, Big Earthworm, why is your weakness your butt? Don’t tell your blast is you spitting your poop out of your mouth, ahahahah!” Xiaoshuai rolled around laughing.
“Pfft!”
Enraged, the dragon vine changed the trajectory of its blast to Xiaoshuai, blasting him into the ground.
“Okay, Big Earthworm, I’m going to stomp you!”
Mu Yu didn’t need to attack the dragon vine’s weakness as he had achieved his goal. He, instead, tried to inject more spiritual energy into the “ground” position. To his frustration, it didn’t boost his sparrows’ speed. The real issue was he couldn’t control the spiritual energy in every line. The boring answer he was searching for was one word: practice.
Mu Yu summoned dozens more sparrows to practice, only for the formation to deactivate. The black ore he used as a Greater Heaven Stage formation foundation reverted to an ordinary rock.
“I’m starting to question the claim that formation casters can’t fight for long because they lack spiritual qi. It’s because the formations chug spiritual qi from the formation foundations, not them!”
“Despite the Greater Heaven Stage formation foundations having more spiritual qi than your Heaven Stage ones, the formation of yours costs too much spiritual qi. Don’t use the formation unless you find sothing similar to Blood Jade Black Crystal or Purple Glow Ultimate Jade. The spiritual qi in those makes drool,” suggested Xiaoshuai, already drooling.
“I’m not going to use Blood Jade Black Crystal.”
Not even Xiaoshuai would’ve tried to eat Blood Jade Black Crystal for Ku Mu’s soul was in there.
