Chapter 207: Soul Binding Array and Puppet Wood Array

After that, when he learned that the boss behind "Tianchi Xianju" was the master of Wugu, his gratitude shifted to Wugu Market, and he had a deep sense of belonging here.

For this reason, the number of Wugu Market Guards and Hunting Teams has expanded a lot in the past six months.

So far, Wugu Market has 15 ninth-level Qi Refining masters, all of whom have settled in the second valley and become part of Zhou Daocheng's forces.

This is an extremely powerful force, and many foundation-building families cannot have so many ninth-level Qi Refining masters.

With the help of these ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators, many things have become much more convenient.

Whether it is guarding the safety of the market or going out to hunt monsters, it will become easier.

Of course, in addition to the ninth-level Qi Refining, there are also many seventh- and eighth-level Qi Refining cultivators who are willing to join Wugu.

Originally, Zhou Daocheng did not intend to take them in, nor was he willing to give the caves in the second valley to these weaker cultivators.

However, later, many people came with gratitude and were willing to settle in Wugu Market permanently, so Zhou Daocheng felt compassion.

So, he set a new rule.

If the eighth and seventh level Qi Refining cultivators joined, three people could share a cave, and the spiritual field was only one-third of that of the ninth level Qi Refining strongmen.

However, if they break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining one day, they can be assigned a single cave.

Even so, there are still many eighth level Qi Refining cultivators joining.

So far, 18 eighth level Qi Refining cultivators and 32 seventh level Qi Refining cultivators have joined Wugu, greatly enhancing the strength.

At the same time, the hunting teams can also meet the full complement of ten people, with more complete configurations, and with the combination of magic tools and formations, the strength has been greatly enhanced.

On weekdays, they stay in the second valley, receive some simple training, enhance cooperation with each other, and gradually transform from the identity of casual cultivators to members of the power.

Most of them have been through hundreds of battles and have been fighting monsters for years. Their foundation is pretty good. With simple guidance, they can cooperate well.

When it is their turn to guard the market or go out to hunt monsters, they will do these daily tasks under the leadership of the ninth-level Qi Refining masters.

There are also very few times when the eldest brother Zhou Daobai will come forward to explain the difficulties in cultivation to these Qi Refining casual cultivators and help them improve their strength.

This is also a benefit after joining the Fog Valley.

At the same time, it must be mentioned that the eldest brother Zhou Daobai only spent more than three months to buy the materials and then returned to the market smoothly.

However, it was a rare trip out, so he did not buy only half of the materials as Zhou Daocheng said, but directly bought three.

After returning, Zhou Daocheng arranged for the eldest brother Zhou Daobai to live in the "Spiritual Medicine Garden", where the concentration of spiritual energy is higher and more suitable for foundation-building cultivation.

And when he is free, he will also guide the four children, or go to the second valley to guide the cultivators there.

In general, life is still relatively leisurely.

As for the woman with the red snake tattoo, there is no news at present, but Zhou Daocheng is not worried, because the journey is long and it will take at least a year and a half for her to come back.

If everything goes well in the market, Zhou Daocheng can practice peacefully and has now successfully reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

As long as the foundation-building pill is in place, he can immediately try to break through the foundation-building.

Now that he has free time, he is not idle, but puts all his thoughts on studying the formation.

The black puppet wood has been planted, and his attempts at new formations have begun.

He is still very much looking forward to this new formation, because it is very likely that he can use the technology of fusion formation to truly make the first-level top-grade formation have the power comparable to the second-level formation.

The two sets of first-level top-grade formations he chose are the puppet wood formation and the spirit-binding formation.

The spirit-binding formation is an extremely rare formation!

At least, Zhou Daocheng has never seen a similar formation on the market.

Because in the process of arranging the spirit-binding formation, the spirit of the monster beast is needed!

What is a monster spirit?

This is a special monster material that can only be produced by a second-level monster.

Generally speaking, a second-level monster already has a certain amount of wisdom, and its soul is relatively more condensed, so a spirit will appear after death.

This kind of monster spirit can be used in many skills.

For example, if the spirit of a second-level monster can be refined into a natal magic weapon, it can make the magic weapon more spiritual, and even manifest the figure of a monster.

However, the most used should be the talisman technique.

Some powerful sects can refine the spirit of monsters into talismans, which can exert the full force of the monster in front of them. It is a very precious special talisman.

However, in the formation, Zhou Daocheng has never seen anyone use spirits, but the spirit-binding formation is a formation with the spirit of monsters as the core!

After several months of research, Zhou Daocheng has a deep understanding of the spirit-binding formation.

The effect of the Soul Binding Array is to refine the spirit of the monster, and use the array pattern to bind it in the array, and finally manifest it in the array.

However, the strength of the monster phantom will inevitably be greatly reduced.

According to Zhou Daocheng's estimation, the spirit of the second-stage early stage monster should be weakened to the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, but even so, the phantom of the monster formed by the spiritual energy still has a trace of the spiritual wisdom of the monster before its death, so both the combat skills and the murderous nature are stronger than ordinary first-stage monsters.

However, if the monster spirit used can reach the second-level middle grade, the power can probably be improved.

But at this time, another question needs to be considered - the strength of the formation!

After all, this is only a first-level upper-grade formation. The strength of the formation pattern is limited, and it is difficult to bind and control the second-level lower-grade spirit.

If the second-level middle-grade monster spirit is forcibly refined, the power of the formation pattern may not be able to bind the spirit, resulting in loss of control in the end.

This kind of loss of control of the formation is still very scary, because it means that the formation master has lost control of the formation, but the monster spirit has a good strength after absorbing the power in the formation pattern.

This will greatly cause the monster phantom to backfire.

Therefore, the most suitable for the spirit-binding formation is the second-level lower-grade monster spirit.

Generally speaking, a set of spirit-binding formation can refine at most two second-level lower-grade monster spirits, and manifest two monster phantoms at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

And the power of the phantom is not weaker than that of an ordinary ninth-level peak powerhouse of Qi Refining. It is definitely a very scary formation!

If there is a disadvantage, it is that the materials are too precious. After all, it requires the spirit of a second-level monster, which is not cheap.

Moreover, because the final monster phantom is mainly composed of spiritual energy and spirit, its weaknesses are also more obvious.
