Chu Ci entered the cave, first set up a small magic circle at the entrance, and then hurried to the small medicine garden.

The entrance to the medicine garden was still the same as when he left. Chu Ci moved away the debris and walked in.

All the medicinal herbs that were planted inside have regained their vitality and are growing vigorously. Seeing this scene, Chu Ci let out a long sigh of relief.

Next, he would try to refine the Zi Hai He Chong Formation and would use this medicine garden for the experiment.

This time he brought back a lot of Eucommia seeds, which would be enough even if they were mixed with tens of thousands of kilograms of spiritual garden soil.

After coming out of his own small medicine garden, Chu Ci first took out the formation diagram of Zi Hai He Chong Formation and studied it.

Three days later, he slowly closed the book in his hand. During these three days, he read all the books related to formations in his hand.

The more I look at this Zi Hai He Chong Formation, the more magical it seems. If it can be successfully refined, the time it takes to grow any spiritual herb can be shortened by more than ten times.

As for the fact that others were unable to succeed in refining it, Chu Ci felt that it was mainly because the formation flags were difficult to make.

As shown in the picture, there are hundreds of different symbolic elements on each flag. Any slight deviation will lead to failure. However, with the help of the mysterious golden pen, maybe I can really give it a try.

When making the formation flag, these formation characters need to be engraved on it. I wonder if the mysterious golden pen can do it.

He was ready to give it a try, but before trying it, he had to do one thing first, which was to fuse all the talisman pens.

Chu Ci took out the talisman pens he had bought in Lingxi City from his storage ring. There were 68 talisman pens in total, three of which were top-grade talisman pens.

These things cost Chu Ci nearly 100,000 spirit stones. He placed the talisman pen close to his chest one by one. Warm currents poured in one after another, making Chu Ci shiver a little.

When the last three top-grade talisman pens were fused, the tattoo on Chu Ci's chest suddenly lit up, and a pain came over him, as if a piece of flesh on his chest was torn off.

With a click, something fell to the ground. Chu Ci looked down and saw a golden pen lying quietly on the ground.

Chu Ci was caught off guard by this situation. The golden pen had been in the form of a tattoo on his body before, so how did it become a real object now?

Chu Ci reached out and picked up the golden pen, and found that it was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the museum before.

At the same time, the gold pen tattoo on his body had obviously dimmed a lot, just like when he had just traveled through time.

With a movement of his spiritual consciousness, the talisman pen returned to his body, and the color of the tattoo became darker.

"Is it possible to take down this golden pen?"

Chu Ci moved his mind again, and the golden pen appeared in his hand again.

After several experiments, Chu Ci discovered that although the golden pen had become a physical object, it could still be controlled using spiritual consciousness, but it consumed more spiritual consciousness.

Chu Ci took out the talisman paper and began to make talismans using both spiritual consciousness and handwriting. When using spiritual consciousness, the success rate was greatly increased. Among every ten first-level talismans, he could basically refine four or five high-quality ones.

The success rate of the second-level talismans has reached 60% to 70%.

However, if he used his hand to hold the golden pen to make the talisman, the success rate would be greatly reduced. Among the ten spirit gathering talismans he refined, only about two were successful, and they were all low-grade talismans.

Not only that, Chu Ci found that the golden pen was very hard. He used his spiritual sense to control it and hit the wall. With a "puff" sound, the whole golden pen sank into the stone wall. When it was pulled out, a small hole was left on the stone wall.

Chu Ci took out a large piece of black iron from the storage ring and struck it with the golden pen again, still piercing through the entire piece of black iron in an instant.

Black iron is different from stone walls. It is a hard material for refining tools. It can be directly penetrated by a blow from the golden pen, which shows that the golden pen is much harder than black iron.

Chu Ci couldn't help but think that perhaps this golden pen could be used as a weapon.

After having a certain understanding of the changes of the golden pen, Chu Ci took out a wooden board. The formation patterns on the flag were too complicated, so he had to practice on the wooden board first.

Chu Ci cut the wooden board into the size of a battle flag, and then used his spiritual sense to control the golden pen to carve on it.

He started with the simplest type of formation flag, saying it was simple because it was the smallest in size and required the least formation text.

However, because the area was too small, there was not enough space before the Chuci was even half carved.

Chu Ci had no choice but to find a larger wooden board, which was ten times the size of the battle flag.

This time the area was large enough for him to perform, but the formation pattern was very complicated. In addition, the gold pen was too sharp and would often penetrate the wooden board with a little force. Therefore, it took him two full days to completely draw the formation pattern on a formation flag.

The next step is to continue practicing with a smaller board, and once you are familiar with it, switch to an even smaller board.

Half a month had passed, and Chu Ci was finally able to carve the complete formation pattern on a wooden board of the same size as the formation flag.

Chu Ci took out a battle flag and tried to operate on it for the first time.

The formation flags were much harder than wooden boards, so it was more difficult to use spiritual awareness. Chu Ci took five soul-nourishing pills and then began.

Soon the first flag failed because he used too much force when operating it, which directly caused the entire flag to shatter.

This situation was within Chu Ci's expectations, and he picked up the second battle flag...

It wasn't until the fifth time, when the final stroke was completed, that it finally succeeded!

Chu Ci looked at the battle flag in his hand with a happy expression on his face. With the first success, the next one would not be far away.

Chu Ci took a short rest and took out the second formation flag. Although he was very tired now, he was in the best condition at this moment, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to complete the remaining two formation flags in one go.

Chu Ci had a total of ten flags of this size in his hands, and he had already used up five of them, so he had to succeed twice with the remaining five.

Chu Ci took five more Yunshen Pills and started again.

Failure, failure, success! Failure,

When the ninth flag failed again, sweat broke out on Chu Ci's forehead. He could not fail again.

This time, Chu Ci concentrated his mind to a high degree, focusing all his attention on the golden pen and the formation flag, completely free of distractions.

Finally, the last flag was successfully made.

There are six sizes of Zi Hai He Chong formation. After more than half a month's hard work, he finally completed three flags of one size.

He needs to rest now and have a good sleep.

He slept for a whole day and night. When Chu Ci woke up, he was surprised to find that he had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and his spiritual power and consciousness had improved greatly.

Without paying too much attention to the changes in his body, Chu Ci walked out of the cave and flew straight down the mountain.

The first thing he did was to go to the utility room to buy wooden boards. He had used up hundreds of wooden boards in the past half month. The remaining flags were bigger than each other, so he must have used even more wooden boards.

After that, I need to exchange them for some Soul-Nourishing Pills. Refining formations consumes too much spiritual energy, so I must have enough of these pills.

There was also the spiritual garden soil. He found the errand disciple in the spiritual medicine garden and bought back all of the several thousand kilograms of spiritual garden soil from him.

After doing all this, Chu Ci returned to the cave and began to refine the second type of formation flag according to the previous method.

Three months passed in a flash, and Chu Ci finally completed all six sizes of battle flags.

He stood up from the ground and felt like he was falling apart, especially the excessive loss of his spiritual consciousness, which made his head ache slightly.

Chu Ci brought 18 formation flags to the small medicine garden and planted all the flags according to the positions shown in the formation diagram.

As shown in the formation diagram, after all the formation flags are inserted, you need to draw lines on the ground to connect all the flags. After this step is completed, the formation is considered successful.

There are many pigments that can be used for drawing lines, and Chu Ci was well prepared. He took out a bottle of black stone milk, dipped the gold pen in it and began to draw lines.

The 18 flags had a special and complicated connection method, and this process took him another day.

When everything was done, Chu Ci stared at the formation with wide eyes. This was the result of his half a year's hard work. Success or failure depended on this time.

After a while, the formation drawn by Chu Ci suddenly lit up with a green light. Although it was very faint, all the plants within the formation were covered by the green light.

It looks like it was successful, otherwise it wouldn't have emitted this color.

Nearly an incense stick of time passed, and Chu Ci confirmed through observation that his formation was indeed successful. Just when Chu Ci was about to rejoice, the green light suddenly began to dim and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chu Ci watched carefully, and every change that occurred did not escape his eyes.

After the green light disappeared, Chu Ci's heart sank. It seemed that the formation he had refined only lasted for the time of an incense stick.

He couldn't help but feel disappointed. Could it be that Zi Hai He Chong's formation was really just as the little boy said, and was just the imagination of some formation master, and was actually impossible to succeed?

Chu Ci's brows were furrowed into a knot, and he could not come up with any idea no matter how hard he thought. As he had not had any rest for several days, his head was buzzing and his eyelids were drooping.

Never mind! Let's have some sleep first. I can't think of anything without a good rest.

Chu Ci fell asleep as soon as he said he would. He did not go back and just lay down in this small medicine garden with his clothes on.

Chu Ci slept soundly and had many strange dreams. In his dreams, all kinds of flags and battle formations were flying in the sky, and he was lost in them and couldn't find the exit.

Suddenly, as if a hint of inspiration came into his mind, Chu Ci, who was lying down, suddenly sat up, slapped his thigh with his hand and shouted:

"I understand!"
