The one-month rest period passed quickly, and Jiang Heng showed a satisfied smile when he saw the room full of Zhen Pan.

"It's not bad. Tier 3 disks can be refined perfectly, and the speed is several times higher than before. Tier 4 disks can barely be refined, but the efficiency is still too slow. And the success rate is extremely low."

Having said that, Jiang Heng is quite satisfied, as expected, he needs to communicate with other formation masters to improve rapidly.

If he hadn't communicated with these one hundred formation masters who are proficient in practical operations, Jiang Heng felt that it would take at least several years or even decades for him to obtain the third-order formations.

Little do they know that this kind of formation speed increases, if it is known by ordinary formation masters, I am afraid that they will be jealous beyond recognition.

Today is the second class, Jiang Heng is full of expectations for the next month, so he simply tidied up the house and instructed the avatar to practice the formation at home, then pushed open the door of the small courtyard and walked towards the classroom refreshed .

Just when passing by the gate of Luo Mingming's courtyard, Luo Mingming just opened the door and walked out.

"You... are you Brother Luo?"

Looking at Luo Mingming who hadn't seen him for a month or two, Jiang Heng didn't know him anymore.

The Luo Mingming I saw last time was definitely a handsome young man, but in women's clothes, he was a delicate and peerless beautiful girl.

However, when I saw Luo Mingming again in front of him, his face was full of unshaven beards, his face was clearly haggard and there was a lot of black and gray dirt. The originally soft and beautiful short blond hair was now extremely fluffy and messy.

If he hadn't seen Luo Mingming's appearance, Jiang Heng would have thought that he was a slovenly demigod addicted to hallucinogenic potions all day long.

"What's wrong with you? Did something go wrong in your cultivation?"

It is rare for Jiang Heng to care about the other party, mainly because the other party makes alchemy for him.

"Oh, it's Brother Shen, I...I'm fine...I'll just meditate for a while. I...I'm fine!"

Having said that, Luo Mingming's current appearance is nothing wrong, and he speaks in a daze, as if he has lost his soul.

"Why don't you ask for a vacation?"

"No, I'm fine!"

"Are you all right?"

"It's all right!" Luo Mingming shook his head helplessly, but there was still a wave of air all over his body, shaking off the dirt on his body, and immediately a layer of pale white light appeared on his body, and his messy hair returned to its original state.

Even though he used small means to embellish his poor image, the tired and confused look on his face still remained the same.

Shaking his head, seeing that the other party didn't want to elaborate on Jiang Heng, he didn't bother to bother, so he hurried to the class he was teaching after chatting for a while.

How did he know that poor Luo Mingming had refined three furnaces of elixir this month, but each of the three furnaces was worse than the first.

In the third batch, there was only one pitiful pill, and only one pitiful pill pattern, which meant that the pills were all barely made pills.

This kind of situation where the success rate plummets is not something that a proud person like Luo Mingming can bear.

So now his mentality is about to collapse.

There is no idea of ​​teaching in my mind at all, and I am still asking myself three times about my soul in my mind.

who I am? Where am I? What did I do this month?

However, on Jiang Heng's side, every day is fulfilling.

In this way, time passed by every day, and five years passed in the blink of an eye. During these five years, Jiang Heng's formation skills improved rapidly.

Originally refining the Tier 4 formations seemed to be very difficult, but now he has been able to perfectly refine the Tier 4 systematic formations, and the deployment speed is not bad, reaching the level of a normal Tier 4 formation master.

It's just that the progress of the fifth-order formation is relatively slow.

But Jiang Heng was not in a hurry. With his own speed, he reckoned that it would be perfect if he could reach the fifth-order level within a hundred years this time. .

Now Jiang Heng is no longer obsessed with a single arrangement of formations, but has begun to delve into how to engrave formations inside the semi-artifact. This requires not only the knowledge of formations but also the knowledge of inscriptions, so recently Jiang Heng has also begun to study books related to inscriptions.

Inscriptions can also be regarded as a type of formation, but inscriptions are very extensive, so they are separated from formations.

But with a very solid formation foundation, Jiang Heng learned the inscriptions very quickly.

In just one year, Jiang Heng could barely engrave ten small formations on the surface of the first-order semi-artifact.

"Continue to practice. It is said that the more formations that can be inscribed on the blade, the more powerful the formation inscription master will be."

Jiang Heng casually played with the blade of the first-order long sword he had engraved with the formation, and ten interlocking first-order solidification formations had already been engraved on the sword.

This can greatly strengthen the hardness of the sword body, making it more difficult to be destroyed.

"My nine blades are all semi-divine weapons without engraving formations. Let's try again after the inscription technology improves."

Jiang Heng wiped his god-slaying gourd.

As his realm got higher and higher, the strength of the nine-handled blades of Zhanshen Gourd gradually couldn't keep up with his progress.

Now against the enemy Jiang Heng, he seldom even uses them. In fact, these methods are very difficult to be effective in the face of a strong enemy, and it is easy for the opponent to destroy his weapon if he wants to.

At least it is not difficult for the middle demigod.

"I heard from the captain that the high-level semi-artifact placed by the prince at the headquarters of the Eye of the Heavenly Territory is the existence of hundreds of high-level formations engraved in its body.

I don't know how this is done? "

Jiang Heng felt a little emotional, the more advanced the semi-artifact, the more difficult it is to engrave formations on it, and the more difficult it is to inscribe high-level formations.

This is double the difficulty.

And one hundred formations need to be superimposed.

He had the experience of inscribing formations once, so Jiang Heng knew very well that the difficulty would rise linearly as the layers were stacked.

At least for the long sword in front of him with ten layers of formations, Jiang Heng felt that with his current attainments, if he continued to stack up, one carelessness would cause the formation to collapse and cause the entire sword body to shatter.

"This is still a waste of money!"

Jiang Heng shook his head, feeling helpless.

No wonder looking at the demigods Jiang Heng has seen, most of the weapons in their hands are not engraved with formations.

It's really hard to get this stuff.

First of all, the array engraver is a rare profession, which is rarer than the array mage and the single inscription master.

If you ask a formation engraver to engrave the formation on your weapon, you will first have to pay a high engraving fee, and the other party will not be responsible for any compensation if the engraving fails.

Therefore, it is best to be mentally prepared for the collapse of the demi-artifact before engraving.

Such harsh conditions also lead to a very small number of formation engravers. Without him, everyone is reluctant to inscribe. Other formation engravers do not have many opportunities to practice, so it is naturally difficult to produce formation engravers.

This has also led to the fact that most of the rare professions of formation engraving masters come from famous families, or the three major forces have cultivated themselves to serve the top dignitaries.

The so-called top dignitaries are referring to the existence of princes and princes, not the kind of small fish and shrimps that can be compared.

"I still have nearly dozens of semi-sacred artifacts stored in Dongtian Secret Territory, and I can continue to practice, but it is not enough to reach the level of engraving third- and fourth-tier semi-sacred artifacts!"

Jiang Heng had no choice but to think that the demi-sacred artifacts and many resources he collected from the ruins of the cave of the secret realm lost by the fallen demi-gods in the hegemony battlefield could be regarded as a hidden rich man.

The result is still poor.

This resource is far from enough to train a formation engraver.

With the understanding of formations and the engraving of formations, Jiang Heng became very interested in becoming a formation engraver.

Because the growth rate of this thing is really fierce!

Just like the first-tier semi-divine long sword in his hand, its quality is very poor, and it can barely be regarded as first-tier.

However, after engraving ten layers of formations, the hardness of this thing is comparable to that of the second-order semi-artifacts without engraving formations.

"There is a long way to go!"

Jiang Heng sighed.

After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Heng prepared to use the next semi-artifact to continue practicing inscription.

However, there are visitors.

The guest was none other than Luo Mingming who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Since Jiang Heng silenced the formation and engraved the formation, his daily routine has been very stable, either teaching or practicing the formation.

So I seldom interact with Luo Mingming.

The last time I saw Luo Mingming was five years ago when he was very down and out.

It's just that Jiang Heng was shocked when he saw Luo Mingming again this time.

If the previous time could only be regarded as a slight change in image and demeanor, then this time it was almost unrecognizable.

Luo Mingming in front of him seemed to have lost a lot of weight. He was originally very slender, but this time he was as skinny as a bone.

It stands to reason that demigod powerhouses would not have such huge changes in their physical bodies, and that such changes could only show that the opponent's energy and spirit had been greatly exhausted during this period of time.

"Brother Luo! Are you... are you really okay?"

"me...."

Hearing this question again, Luo Mingming's lips trembled, and he fell to the ground in a daze, holding his head in his hands and choking up.

"Brother Shen, I...I...I found out that I can't make alchemy anymore!"

Luo Mingming wailed with a voice that almost collapsed.

If it was Luo Mingming in the previous image, it would definitely be pitiful for me to be so sad at this moment, but at this moment there is only desperation and extreme desperation.

"Can't make alchemy? What's going on? I don't even understand what you're saying!"

Jiang Heng didn't understand, didn't Luo Mingming have a very high attainment in alchemy?

How can this alchemy attainment be said to be impossible?

This thing is not the realm of practice.

So Luo Mingming narrated how he couldn't make alchemy step by step in the past five years.

It turned out that in the past five years, Luo Mingming was able to make ten pills of fourth-grade pills in one breath at the beginning, but gradually, the success rate of his fourth-rank pills plummeted until it reached zero.

After some tangled attempts to no avail, he began to try to lower his rank and start refining the third-rank elixir.

It was okay at the beginning, and ten third-order pills could be made in a batch.

Then the curse reappeared, and the rate of alchemy plummeted, and finally he was unable to refine the third-order elixir.

So second order, first order.

It was like a curse that the situation was exactly the same as before.

Until now, the success rate of his demigod-level pills is completely zero, and he can barely refine the domain master's peak pills.

At this moment Luo Mingming was completely stunned.

He is so arrogant, and he has a strong attachment to alchemy.

However, seeing his alchemy level plummeting, it's not surprising that he collapsed and almost cried.

But after listening to it, Jiang Heng was surprised at first, then suddenly realized, and then felt a little ashamed.

He gets it.

Jiang Heng's level of alchemy still has some demigod-level theoretical knowledge. Although there is not much, he still knows some.

"Isn't it because I drained the nearby energy?"

If there is not much energy gathered around during alchemy to maintain the alchemy rate, it will be hell.

Especially when the pill is finally formed, it needs to absorb a lot of energy from the surroundings before the pill is released. If the surrounding energy dries up, the rate of pill formation will plummet.

Jiang Heng could think of it, in fact, Luo Mingming's elixir attainment is so high, so he naturally thought of it a long time ago.

After the alchemy rate plummeted several times, he bought some energy-gathering arrays to superimpose arrays in his small courtyard.

It's just that he didn't know that Jiang Heng also increased the superposition of the energy-gathering array in order to ensure the success rate of the array inscription.

So the cosmic free energy attracted by the poor Luo Mingming's superimposed several energy-gathering arrays has not had time to be used by the elixir Chengdan, but the extremely powerful energy-gathering array arranged for his good neighbor Jiang Heng is exhausted.

Seeing that he strengthened the energy-gathering array again but did not increase the success rate of alchemy at all, Luo Mingming ruled out that it was because of insufficient energy around him.

This is because the distance between his house and Jiang Heng's house is too close, and the majestic energy gathered by Jiang Heng made Luo Mingming mistakenly think that his own family also possessed majestic energy.

So he started looking for the reason frantically, until he found that there was no reason, and then he was completely stunned.

If there is no other reason, isn't it because there is indeed a big problem with his own alchemy level?

In fact, after a person who was originally full of self-confidence fell into deep self-doubt, no matter how perfect his performance was, he still had countless problems in his own eyes.

Poor Luo Mingming fell into a strange circle and couldn't get out, which led to today's scene.

"Brother Luo, actually..."

"Don't worry, Old Brother Shen, although I can't do alchemy now. But my previous promise is still valid. I still have a lot of stock from before, and I will exchange it with you for pills."

Luo Mingming interrupted Jiang Heng's words with a wave of his hand, with a dejected look on his face.

The other party's attitude made Jiang Heng feel even more ashamed.

This kid is a good person, and he still doesn't forget his promise at this time.

"Ahem, Brother Luo, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, actually this is me..."

"Brother Shen, needless to say, these are one hundred fourth-order golden body pills, all of which are of the top grade with eight patterns. They can greatly enhance the strength of the physical body. It has an excellent effect on a strong physical body like you. But After all, it is a fourth-order elixir, so you should pay attention to the interval between taking it."

As Luo Mingming said that, he quickly took out a storage ring with a small space from the storage space and handed it over.

Jiang Heng took the ring and glanced at it casually, and it happened to be a hundred golden pills inside.

This made Jiang Heng even more embarrassed.

"Uh, Brother Luo, this is the Tier 3 formation plate I refined recently. There are 1,000 sets in total, and it can barely compare with your Tier 4 elixir."

Said Jiang Heng quickly handed over a storage ring.

"Well! I accept it. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to continue this deal with you in the future. I...I can't make alchemy now...I..."
