Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

Chapter 51 Uncle Ying is shocked! The complete guide to Maoshan formations!

"The Ghost King has been killed by me."

Lin Xuan's voice was calm, but to Uncle Ying it sounded like thunder.

"The Ghost King is dead!" Uncle Ying was shocked.

He had witnessed the Ghost King's strength when he followed the elders of Maoshan; his power was terrifying, and it was difficult for anyone below the level of a geomancer to contend with him.

Uncle Ying was somewhat confident because he had been in the Ninth Heaven of Human Masters for several years, and with his high-grade magic weapon and third-tier red talisman, he felt he could fight the Ghost King.

But what about Lin Xuan? Could it be that Zhong Fabai really gave him something to save his life?

However, Zhong Fabai doesn't seem to be very wealthy.

Uncle Ying was both shocked and puzzled, and could only say, "My junior brother... has taken on a good disciple!"

The yin energy in the storage room began to dissipate, but from this immense yin energy, Uncle Ying had no doubt that a ghost king had died there.

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me!" Lin Xuan said.

“No, Lin Xuan, excessive modesty is just showing off!” Uncle Ying said with a smile, taking out his compass to look at it.

"The yin energy has calmed down and is no longer chaotic. The vengeful spirit in the hotel should be gone. Let's go to the lobby and have the police handle the aftermath."

Uncle Ying had previously called the police station, giving them his identification number in GG, and told them not to send anyone to their deaths.

Now that the matter is resolved, it's natural to let the other party handle the follow-up.

"Unfortunately, it's already late, and there's no one left at GG headquarters. We'll have to wait until tomorrow. Let's go back to the dojo first."

The dojo was Uncle Ying's home; he ate and slept there.

“Cousin, I’ll go with you!” Li Jialing said.

"Why are you coming with us? Don't you have a room in this hotel?"

Uncle Ying shook his head and refused, as Zhong Fabai was still waiting at the temple, which couldn't accommodate so many people.

Lin Xuan was actually quite curious about Li Jialing's special abilities, but she didn't ask any more questions at the moment.

He and Uncle Ying left together by car and returned to the temple.

On the way, Lin Xuan asked Uncle Ying about special abilities. Uncle Ying said that special abilities are innate and cannot be learned later in life.

"Special abilities are just like your innate physical constitution; if you don't have them, you don't have them! However, the mastery of our Taoist arts is no less than that of special abilities! You don't need to feel regretful!"

"Once you break through to the Earth Master level and gain spiritual awareness, you'll be able to manipulate objects with your qi, which is far more powerful than any supernatural ability!"

Uncle Ying's words brought Lin Xuan back to his senses, and he nodded.

With his maxed-out Taoist magic system, he doesn't really need to care about any special abilities.

Back at the temple, Zhong Fabai was already asleep.

Uncle Ying and Lin Xuan waved goodbye, and the two went to rest.

The next day, after breakfast.

The police station suddenly called, asking Uncle Ying to handle some matters and explain what exactly happened at the hotel last night.

It means submitting a report in the past.

"This is a very annoying matter; I estimate I won't be back until the afternoon."

"Lin Xuan, didn't you say you didn't understand formations? Take this manual and read it first. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me when I get back."

Uncle Ying handed Lin Xuan a secret manual with the words "Complete Collection of Maoshan Formations" written on the cover.

"Senior brother, you still have this manual!" Zhong Fabai was somewhat surprised.

"Of course! Who do you think is as reckless as you?!" Uncle Ying shook his head. "You have a disciple with such an innate Dao physique, yet you haven't taught him formations. I'm ashamed for you!"

Uncle Ying insulted his junior brother and then turned and left.

Zhong Fabai himself didn't have much talent for formations, he only learned some basic formations, and he was more inclined towards the martial arts style.

After being mocked by Uncle Ying, he had no confidence to refute her.

"Ahem, Lin Xuan, you should learn this formation first. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your senior uncle when he returns!"

Zhong Fabai himself wasn't very good at formations and was afraid of misleading others, so he decided to let Lin Xuan learn them on his own.

"Okay, Master." Lin Xuan nodded, finding it somewhat amusing.

He doesn't actually need to learn these kinds of secret manuals. Formations are also a type of Taoist art, and he will naturally reach the maximum level once he gets to the basics.

“I found a nice shop yesterday. The rent is reasonable, and it's not far from your master’s place. I’ll go take another look today, and if it’s suitable, I’ll settle on it!”

"Lin Xuan, would you like to come with me to take a look?" Zhong Fabai asked.

"No need, Master, you can decide for yourself. I trust your judgment," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll decide!” Zhong Fabai nodded, and then left the dojo.

Lin Xuan was left alone in the room. He opened the Complete Guide to Maoshan Formations and began to carefully examine it.

"Golden Gang Formation, Two Elements Formation, Nine Palaces Formation, Qimen Formation, Ghost-Trapping Formation, Demon-Subduing Formation, Evil-Expelling Formation..."

Perhaps Lin Xuan has some talent in formations.

Half an hour later, he successfully mastered the basics of the Complete Guide to Formations.

[Ding! Complete Guide to Maoshan Formations. Beginner successful. Your skill level has automatically increased to the maximum.]

The moment the system voice sounded.

All the knowledge about Maoshan formations flooded into Lin Xuan's mind.

"Wow, the Maoshan Sect has way too many formations!"

Upon closer examination, Lin Xuan discovered that Maoshan had nearly a hundred different formations.

"Unfortunately, most powerful and effective formations require a large number of spirit stones, and there aren't that many spirit stones available in this day and age!"

"Even if there were any, they would all be used to increase cultivation level. Why bother setting up an array? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

"Of course, except for me!"

Recalling a formation in his mind, Lin Xuan smiled slightly.

"I choose you! Spirit Gathering Array!"

Chapter Fifty-Two: The Spirit Gathering Array! Slaying Demons Before the Array!

"Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array!"

"Using five different types of spirit stones as a foundation, a formation is set up to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"

"Once the spiritual energy within the five spirit stones is depleted, the spiritual energy gathered within the formation will be at least five times greater than the total amount from the five spirit stones!"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. The Maoshan Qi Refining Technique was a major consumer of spiritual energy.

He had always felt that relying solely on buying spirit stones for cultivation was insufficient in terms of spiritual energy, and now the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array was just the right solution to this problem.

For others, collecting five spirit stones with different attributes is a problem.

But this problem was no problem at all for Lin Xuan.

"Being in a place with abundant spiritual energy will definitely be helpful for breaking through to the Earth Master realm!"

Lin Xuan looked at his merit points, "I wonder if this is enough for me to break through to the Earth Master level!"

"Give it a try, no matter what!"

Lin Xuan made up his mind; what he lacked most right now was cultivation.

"Uncle Ying's dojo is not suitable for setting up formations, and the source of the spirit stones cannot be explained. The place where we killed Xiang Dong and the other two evil spirits yesterday is quite quiet, which is good!"

Lin Xuan packed up, put the peach wood sword in the sword bag, took some array flags, hailed a taxi, and headed to the woods where he had killed the ghost yesterday.

Before long, Lin Xuan arrived at his destination.

The forest is deep and quiet, and the place is remote.

It was clearly a place where hardly anyone came.

We walked further in and found a suitable spot.

First, use the array flags obtained from Uncle Nine to set up a protective array to prevent minor demons and ghosts from disturbing us.

Then, Lin Xuan began to set up the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array.

"Let's test the waters with a ninth-grade spirit stone first!"

Lin Xuan bought five spirit stones of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) from the system shop, and then set up a small spirit-gathering array according to the records in the Complete Guide to Array Formations.

Compared to the special Thunder Spirit Stone, the Five Elements Spirit Stone is cheaper, requiring only merit points.

Lin Xuan could accept it.
