The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 30 Trading
Xiao Jun directly called out a high price, shocking many people at the beginning. But soon, some people realized that this was a common tactic, quickly raising the auction price to shock some people.

Many people understand this, but when they see the Formation Sutra, they realize that general formation knowledge contains huge calculations and strange mathematics. Many people often feel dizzy when faced with the extremely complex knowledge of formation transformations. There are all kinds of differentials, integrals, attribute conversion principles, and changes in the dynamics of Dou Qi...

Most people cannot understand the joy of a formation master, because a formation master mobilizes the great power between heaven and earth through mathematics and laws. However, a formation master is indeed a profession that tests one's qualifications. This profession is not a naturally monopolized profession like an alchemist. Everyone can comprehend the formation. The test of formation qualifications is more like a spiritual test.

However, the knowledge contained in the formation is profound and extensive, and it explains the changes between heaven and earth. The formation is not a rigid knowledge, but requires a lot of flashes of wisdom and painstaking deductions to be able to penetrate the portal of the formation.

While the soul becomes stronger with higher cultivation, when it comes to formations, a gifted mortal might have a flash of inspiration, and even if you're a powerful cultivator with a strong soul, you might still struggle to catch up even after decades of practice. The disparity in talent for formations is just that vast, and this talent is so mysterious that it's impossible to measure or grasp!
Xiao Jun studied a lot of principles of formation knowledge. The knowledge of formation is very simple, but unfortunately Xiao Jun does not have any systematic knowledge to refer to. Xiao Jun can only mobilize part of the land veins and feng shui through the knowledge of formation to improve the environment of one side.

All major forces would choose to support formation masters, because they protected the formation and improved the cultivation environment of the area. Even within the Xiao family, there were formation restrictions in the cultivation pavilion, because as long as the formation was maintained, it could operate without any rest, which was impossible for human power.

"Cultivating my mind has given me endless inspiration. And this computational matrix has given me immense deductive and computational power. Combining the two, based on what I've learned in the past, I have the aptitude for formations."

Xiao Jun was interested in the "Three Mountains Formation Sutra." He needed the knowledge of more advanced formations to help him and also as a way to protect himself. More importantly, Xiao Jun could use the formations to do things he couldn't do now, such as comprehending the changes in the fighting spirit between heaven and earth. Xiao Jun's soul attributes only allowed him to comprehend earth-element fighting spirit.

It's not that it's impossible to comprehend other kinds of Dou Qi, but that is extremely complicated and difficult. The array master himself needs to understand and study the properties of all types of Dou Qi, and use the operation of the array to interfere with the changes in Dou Qi to achieve the purpose of perception.

Xiao Jun also has the idea of using the principles of formations to improve his fighting skills. The sword lotus is a simple formation condensed from a bunch of sword energy. A large amount of sword energy merges and condenses into a lotus-like formation, which bursts out with 1.6 to 3 times the power. Xiao Jun also hopes to use the formation to guide himself in creating martial arts and fighting skills.

"One hundred and ten thousand!" Xiao Zhan raised his sign. For a clan or other power, the Formation Sutra itself was a kind of foundation. This fourth-level Formation Sutra could help the clan resist external enemies and provide protection. The fourth-level Qi Gathering Formation could also help the clan's children cultivate faster.

Even if the family does not have a formation master to practice formations, simply imitating and learning them will be of great help to the family.

"One hundred twenty thousand."

"One hundred and thirty thousand."

The heads of the Gale and Oba families certainly also need things that can enhance the family's foundation. This is the case with the struggles and fights between families. They need to constantly obtain every opportunity to enhance their foundation. Even if there is no formation master to learn the formation, the more foundation the family has, the stronger it will become.

"Two hundred thousand!" Xiao Jun raised the sign in his hand again and estimated the cost of selling fighting skills and his expenses. Two hundred thousand gold coins was already Xiao Jun's limit of financial resources. If he couldn't buy this formation scripture, Xiao Jun planned to give up directly.

The price Xiao Jun called out was in leaps and bounds, and it was indeed quite high. His face was calm, his eyes slightly narrowed, making it impossible to tell what his attitude was, and he acted very confidently.

"Having this formation inherited would be the best, but there are others bidding for it. As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the other two families, it's a good outcome." Xiao Zhan thought to himself, looking at the heads of the other two families. However, he saw that the heads of the Jialie and Oba families were also looking at the other two with the same eyes, secretly sizing them up.

In that brief exchange of glances, everyone understood each other's thoughts. It was better for all families to be unable to obtain the formation inheritance than for only one family to obtain it. After all, two hundred thousand gold coins was no small sum. If their family continued the auction now, they would be caught in a financial competition.

Three losses are better than one win.

The patriarchs of the three families exchanged glances, and suddenly they understood the thoughts of the patriarchs of the other two families, and silently stopped bidding.

Ya Fei brandished the hammer and began to shout, "Two hundred thousand once, two hundred thousand twice, two hundred thousand three times!"

"make a deal!"

Xiao Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Two hundred thousand for a fourth-tier formation inheritance was a reasonable price. Furthermore, he had taken advantage of the difficulty and niche nature of formations. As for whether he could master the formation sutra, Xiao Jun had never doubted himself.

"This Miter auction has concluded successfully." Under the light revealed by a special glowing mineral, Ya Fei knocked down the wooden hammer and announced the end of this auction. The settlement transaction of the auction items then began.

Xiao Jun stood up and left the venue. With an identity token in hand, he found a maid. After verifying his identity, the maid led him into a room with a table and two chairs. Suddenly, a graceful figure emerged from behind a door, her lips slightly parted in a seductive smile. It was Ya Fei. Xiao Jun took a quick glance and lost interest. If the initial auction could be described as beauty created by distance, then this time, this close proximity, Xiao Jun, through the medical techniques of observation and smell, observing the skin, hair, pores, and listening to the breath, dissipated the last vestiges of his sexual desire.

It's not that Xiao Jun doesn't know beauty, nor is it that he doesn't have the so-called love. He also has his own desires. However, because his medical skills have reached a certain level, Xiao Jun can easily understand the texture of skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs through observation, smell, questioning, and palpation. Xiao Jun doesn't need to get too close. Using only observation and smell, he can construct a human model of Ya Fei in his mind.

It could even be said that Xiao Jun's desire for beauty was reflected in his cultivation; the higher his cultivation level, the more beautiful he would become. This was why Xiao Jun didn't care about Ya Fei, because her appearance could only be considered crudely beautiful.

When Ya Fei entered the room, she was followed by a maid and an old man. The maid held a wooden tray, on which lay an earth magic core and a scroll. The scroll was the "Three Mountains Formation Sutra."

"My dear guest, you auctioned the Xuan-level mid-grade fighting skill "Rain of Pear Blossom Needles" and received 130,000. You also auctioned the earth-type magic core and the "Three Mountains Formation Sutra" for 8,000 gold coins. Please pay 84,500." Ya Fei looked at Xiao Jun with a smile. Her eyes moved and ripples flashed across them, as if to melt people's hearts.

Xiao Jun nodded. The extra 6,500 gold coins were essentially a commission from the auction. Just as he was about to withdraw the corresponding coins from his ring, he saw a crystal card with a gold coin balance stored inside. This was a crystal card Xiao Jun had applied for when he had too many gold coins, and it could be used for mobile payments.

To be precise, the technological strength of the Douqi Continent is not weak, but very powerful, it’s just that the practitioners are stronger.

Xiao Jun only had 10,000 gold coins left. He had been saving since childhood, but he suddenly became poor. But it was all worth it.

"Are you a formation master?" Ya Fei suddenly asked.

Xiao Jun was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "I often set up formations."

That’s right, Feng Shui formation is also a kind of formation!
"Since you are a formation master, would you be willing to become a guest of the auction house? This is Gu Ni, an excellent alchemist and also a guest. Our Mitel Auction House is definitely open to all talents."

Xiao Jun took out the crystal card from the ring and handed it to the maid next to him, but saw that the maid turned and left. Xiao Jun also accepted the earth magic core and the "Three Mountains Formation Sutra", nodded and said to Ya Fei.

"Thank you for your consideration. I personally have no plans to switch to Miter Auction House," Xiao Jun replied, and was about to leave. Beneath Yafei's skirt, her feet, sculpted like white jade, appeared, her toes slightly curled. With graceful steps, she pulled a crystal card from her dress, bearing the Miter family crest.

"Master, this is our auction's VIP card. With this card, the tax rate at all Miter family auction houses will be reduced from 5% to 2%."

Xiao Jun nodded slightly, and the maid next to him ran over and handed Xiao Jun the crystal card. She took the VIP card and her own crystal card that she had used to pay, checked them, and threw them all back into the ring.

"Mr. Formation Master, if you are interested, you can contact our Miter Auction House. We need all kinds of talents."

"Okay." After a casual perfunctory response, Xiao Jun left the room. Seeing that the transaction was completely completed, the maid also left the room.

Only Gu Ni and Ya Fei were left in the room.

"It seems that the formation master looks down on me and has no interest in our auction house." Ya Fei certainly felt the calmness in Xiao Jun's eyes, which made her a little depressed. In the past, she always relied on her charm to deal with people well. Even if she could not make extra profits, she rarely acted perfunctorily.

The old man next to him, known as Gu Ni, nodded in appreciation and said, "I know that kind of look. That kind of person is truly extremely focused, and only such a person can become a formation master."

The tone showed understanding and appreciation.
