Market
Luo Zheng sell some rabbit and earn 2 spirit stone. He don't sell the chicken in market because it is his todays meal. He already passed his several times in hunting beasts and it's already afternoon so he comes to market to sell them.
After that he explore the city. Seeing one by one thing. He have original Luo Zheng memory but he walk personally now. During the way his eyes shifted on pill shop.This is just a low level pill shop so mortal allowed here. Or else a body tempering 4th stage cultivator like him can't enter here.
The low-level pill store was a small shop squeezed between a run-down tea house and a martial arts academy that looked like it was on its last legs. The sign above the door creaked in the wind, bearing the name "Hundred Grass Hall" in letters that were slowly fading away.
Luo Zheng don't enter there. He just started walking again. He thought,"In the past Luo Zheng tried to start his cultivation journey with alchemy but he doesn't have any talent and he needs to reach Separation and reunion stage to perform alchemy. So thinking of becoming a alchemist is totally useless. "As he thought he started the way again. Few distance far he finds the formation hall.
He thought," Luo Zheng have not tried to be a formation master. Should I try my luck maybe I can understand formation.
Luo Zheng pushed open the door to the low-level Formation Guild House, a small, unassuming building tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. The sign above the door creaked in the gentle breeze, bearing the name "Misty Formation Hall" in faded characters.
As he entered, Luo Zheng was greeted by the sight of a large, dimly lit room filled with various formation diagrams and equipment. The air was thick with the smell of incense and the faint hum of qi manipulation. A few cultivators sat at tables, studying formation diagrams or practicing their skills.
A bespectacled old man sat behind a counter, his eyes peering over the rim of his spectacles as he examined a formation diagram. He looked up as Luo Zheng approached, his gaze lingering on the young hunter.
"Ah, young man, what brings you to our humble guild?" the old man asked, his voice low and gentle.
Luo Zheng bowed slightly. "Greetings, senior. I'm Luo Zheng, a hunter from the nearby mountains. I've heard that this guild is a place where one can learn about formations and test one's skills."
The old man's eyes lit up with interest. "Ah, a hunter with an interest in formations? That's unusual. What makes you think you have a talent for formations, young man?"
Luo Zheng hesitated for a moment before answering, "I've had some... experiences with formations in the past. I've managed to stumble upon a few techniques, but I'd like to learn more and see if I have any real talent."
The old man nodded, a hint of a smile on his face. "Very well, young man. We can test your skills. But first, let me introduce myself. I'm Elder Zhang, the guild master of Misty Formation Hall. I'll be overseeing your test today."
Elder Zhang led Luo Zheng to a table, where a simple formation diagram lay spread out. "This is a basic Earth Formation. It's a simple test, really. If you can successfully activate the formation, it will show that you have some foundation in the basics."
Luo Zheng nodded, his eyes fixed on the diagram. He took a deep breath, focusing his mind and calming his qi. He reached out with his hand, tracing the lines of the formation diagram, feeling the flow of energy and the patterns of the formation.
As he worked, Luo Zheng's hands moved with a confidence that surprised even himself. He had never formally studied formations before, but his experiences in the mountains had given him a unique understanding of the natural world and the patterns that governed it.
The formation began to glow, a soft, golden light emanating from the diagram. Elder Zhang's eyes widened in surprise, his expression changing from curiosity to interest.
"Ah, not bad, young man. Not bad at all. You have a natural talent for formations. The way you're manipulating the qi is quite... unorthodox, but it's working."
Luo Zheng finished the formation, and a small, crystal clear stone in the center of the diagram began to glow with a soft, pulsing light. The air around the formation seemed to vibrate with energy, as if the very fabric of reality was being manipulated.
Elder Zhang nodded, a smile spreading across his face. "Well done, young man. You've passed the test. You have a place in our guild, if you're willing to join."
Luo Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He had never expected such a warm welcome. He nodded, a sense of excitement and gratitude washing over him. "Thank you, Elder Zhang. I'd be honored to join the guild."
As Luo Zheng left the guild house, he felt a sense of hope and excitement. He had taken the first step on a new path, one that could lead him to unimaginable heights and opportunities.
Elder Zhang smiled, nodding in approval. "Welcome to the Misty Formation Hall, Luo Zheng. As a member of our guild, you'll have access to our resources and knowledge. You'll be able to learn from our experienced elders and work alongside other members to improve your skills."
Luo Zheng nodded, his eyes scanning the room as he took in the atmosphere of the guild. He saw cultivators practicing their skills, studying formation diagrams, and working on projects. The air was filled with the hum of qi manipulation and the scent of incense.
"What kind of formations do you specialize in, Elder Zhang?" Luo Zheng asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
Elder Zhang chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Ah, I'm a jack-of-all-trades, Luo Zheng. I have knowledge in various types of formations, from Earth Formations to Wood Formations, and even some Fire Formations. But my true specialty lies in Water Formations. There's something about the flow of water that speaks to me, you know?"
Luo Zheng nodded, intrigued. He had always been fascinated by the different types of formations and their applications.
"As a new member, you'll start with the basics," Elder Zhang said, handing Luo Zheng a small booklet. "This is a collection of basic formation diagrams and techniques. Study them well, and you'll be able to move on to more advanced formations soon enough."
Luo Zheng took the booklet, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation. He was eager to dive into the world of formations and see where it would take him.
Luo Zheng thought," It's like heaven is too marcyfull for me. Heaven not only give me a true inheritance but also give me a natural talent in formation."His heart was burst with joy.
