Chapter 58: Activating the Spirit Gathering Array

  The lights in the living room were off, but some faint light was coming from under Lin Xueqi's door, it seemed she was still in her room struggling with translating her foreign language thesis.

  As he walked into the bathroom, Zhao Yang was about to put his clothes on the rack when he saw a deep purple lace camisole and a palm-sized piece of purple lace cloth on top.

  The corners of her mouth twitched, and it was clear that Lin Xueqi had just taken a bath and changed. Zhao Yang could only pick up the two small things full of 'temptation' on the rack and put them in the bucket that Lin Xueqi usually used.

  There was only one clothes rack in the bathroom, and if he didn't move it, Zhao Yang had nowhere to put his change of clothes.

  Lin Xueqi usually carefully rolls up the clothes she's changed out of into a ball and stuffs them into her own bucket, or else washes them right away. Today, I guess she was too busy translating papers to remember.

  After a refreshing shower, Zhao Yang walked out wearing a loose short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, holding a towel to wipe his wet hair.

  Zhao Yang had just come out and saw Lin Xueqi sitting in the living room again. When she saw Zhao Yang coming out of the bathroom, her pretty face suddenly turned red, without saying a word, she hastily ran past Zhao Yang and rushed into the bathroom.

  Lin Xueqi's first glance was at the shelf, and upon seeing that it was empty, she hastily searched around, only to find the previously replaced set of intimate items in her own bucket.

  Lin Xueqi suddenly felt a flush on her face, so ashamed that she wanted to find a seam in the ground to crawl into. She clearly remembered that she had forgotten to take down the two small things from the shelf earlier. Now they were not on the shelf, but appeared in the bucket, obviously thrown there by Zhao Yang after his bath.

  Good heavens, those are the most personal things on one's own body!

  Lin Xueqi felt utterly humiliated. Her personal belongings were actually picked up by Zhao Yang and put into a bucket... Lin Xueqi felt so humiliated she wanted to die!

  She waited until she came out of the bathroom, saw Zhao Yang sitting on the sofa holding a cup and drinking water, couldn't help but blush with shame and glare at him, then quickly rushed into her own room and slammed the door shut.

  Zhao Yang was suddenly bewildered, completely unable to understand where he had offended this lady again. He had no idea that it was all Lin Xueqi's own psychological and mental supplements at work.

  It is said that it has always been difficult to deal with petty people and women. Indeed!

  Looking at the heavily closed door of Lin Xueqi's room, Zhao Yang shook his head and withdrew his gaze. He sat in the living room for a while before returning to his own room.

  It's half past ten.

  Then Zhao Yang took out thirty-six jade tokens from the box and placed them on the bed one by one, then began to check the layout of the room and started calculating silently in his mind.

  The layout of the formation method not only has requirements for the objects arranged, but also for the location and orientation of the formation. Different formations have different requirements, whether it is the placement of the "formation base", the location and orientation of the formation, or even the timing of activating the formation, etc., are all different.

  The formation method is a vast and complex path, wanting to master it is not that easy. Don't you see that many formation masters, apart from their innate talents, which one of them didn't spend hundreds of years studying diligently before achieving success?

  Fortunately, Zhao Yang's 'Soul Gathering Array' was only the lowest level of magic array, and its requirements were also relatively minimal.

  In fact, the best layout location for 'Ji Ling Zhen' should be in a place with relatively dense spiritual energy, and it's better to be able to connect with the earth's energy. In addition, the orientation also needs to be carefully considered, how to make it more conducive to guiding the surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy to gather together.

  Because Zhao Yang's home is a high-rise building on the fourth floor, it is obviously impossible to directly connect with the earth's energy, unless Zhao Yang goes downstairs to set up the formation. However, if that's the case, wouldn't the formation be easily exposed to others? Moreover, the foundation of the formation is made of jade stones, and if someone were to discover them, they would surely take all the jade stones away!

  No choice, although it won't be as effective, Zhao Yang can only do so.

  After observing for a while, Zhao Yang selected the specific location and corresponding direction of the Bu formation. He then moved aside the bed that was blocking the position, and began to place the thirty-six jade plates on the ground one by one according to different positions.

  When the last jade plate was placed well, Zhao Yang couldn't help but clap his hands and stood aside to take a look. After seeing that there was no problem, he looked at the time again.

  It's almost eleven o'clock now.

  Although the formation has been set up, it still needs to be activated in order to truly make it work and bring out its intended effect. The best time to activate the "Soul Gathering Formation" is naturally at midnight and early morning. These are the moments when yin reaches its extreme and gives birth to yang, when the sun first rises, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is most active and dense. Activating the "Soul Gathering Formation" during these two moments will also produce the best results.

  Once the "Spirit Gathering Formation" is activated, if the formation base is not removed or damaged, it will continue to maintain itself, constantly gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all around.

  Nowadays, the spiritual energy on earth is thin, so this 'Spirit Gathering Array' is extremely important for Zhao Yang.

  In order for the Spirit Gathering Formation to achieve its best effect, Zhao Yang patiently waited until after eleven o'clock, which was exactly at midnight.

  "It's time to activate the power of the formation."

  Zhao Yang glanced at the time and immediately walked to the arranged "Ji Ling Formation". He stretched out his hand and placed it on the jade plate in the middle of the "Kun" position, and a true energy was emitted from his body and input into the jade plate.

  In an instant, the jade pendant suddenly emitted a soft and gentle glow.

  Then Zhao Yang stretched out his hand and placed it on the jade plate in the middle of 'Qian' position, also inputting a true energy into the 'jade plate'. Immediately, the jade plate in the 'Qian' position also emitted a jade-colored fluorescence.

  The Thirty-six Jade Plate Gathering Spirit Array set up by Zhao Yang is arranged in an internal eight and external twenty-eight pattern. The internal eight jade plates are arranged in the Bagua position, to activate this array, it is necessary to input a true energy into each of the eight jade plates in the internal Bagua position in a specific order.

  In a short while, when the eight jade plates in the middle of the Bagua were all activated by Zhao Yang's input of true energy, the eight jade plates suddenly started to vibrate with a humming sound, and the light they emitted also gradually became brighter.

  Right after that, the eight jade pendants almost simultaneously shot out a dazzling light, connecting one by one in the order Zhao Yang had activated them earlier. Then, the twenty-eight jade pendants on the periphery also started to vibrate and gradually lit up.

  "Hmm!"

  Suddenly, all thirty-six jade plates rose into the air and began to rotate rapidly in mid-air, with the light emitted by the jade plates growing stronger.

  A moment later, the jade plaque suddenly stopped spinning and fell back to the ground at the same time.

  At this time, each piece of jade pendant emits a green jade-like glow, connecting with each other, and a mysterious force gradually spreads out in all directions, and the heavenly spiritual energy begins to gather...

  "Soul Array, successfully activated!"
