The first formation flag was destroyed, but Qin Chen did not show any signs of frustration.
The arrangement of the formation flags was not something that could be easily accomplished. Even if one understood the structure of the formation, perfectly depicting it was not a simple task and required numerous trials.
He quickly picked up the second formation flag to sketch, his expression serious, each stroke more meticulous than before, and he made corrections to the mistakes of the previous formation flag.
"What is Qin Chen doing?" Lao Yuan asked in confusion.
The big black cat narrowed its eyes and said, "That brat Qin Chen must have gained some insights while observing the seal below and is now trying to break the formation. Currently, he is sketching a brand new formation flag to enhance its power."
The big black cat felt a shock in its heart; Qin Chen had only observed for a short while, yet he was able to transform the original formation flag. Moreover, the big black cat could tell that the power of the transformed formation flag was significantly greater than before. Such talent was rarely seen even among the ancient human race's powerful beings.
"This child indeed possesses extraordinary talent. If he continues to grow like this, then..."
The big black cat muttered, its eyes flickering with an inexplicable light.
"Smash!" The second formation flag lasted much longer than the first but soon shattered as well.
The third!
"Smash!"
The fourth!
The fifth!
Qin Chen continued to try but kept failing, and soon there were more than ten or twenty shattered formation flags around him. This made Lao Yuan somewhat worried; it didn’t understand formations but knew that the broken flags clearly indicated Qin Chen’s failures in refining.
However, Qin Chen did not show any signs of impatience. If a formation master were present, they would notice that although Qin Chen had failed many times, each failure was different. The mistakes from the last attempt would surely be resolved perfectly in the next.
Furthermore, some of the reasons Qin Chen failed were not due to his inability to refine successfully but were done intentionally.
The purpose of Qin Chen's actions was, of course, to familiarize himself with the entire process of the formation, rather than simply refining the formation flag.
As the formation flags were damaged, a pile of broken flags had already fallen around Qin Chen, and he had wasted quite a bit of materials.
Yet Qin Chen did not hesitate to use any materials; as long as they were high-grade materials, he took them all out. Facing the space seal filled with holy crystals, the materials he lost were trivial. Moreover, these materials were not a total loss; with Qin Chen's consumption, his mastery of formations was once again improving at a terrifying speed.
Qin Chen had forgotten how long it had been since he had refined formation flags so freely. Previously, his refining was simple work because he was already very familiar with it. But this time was different; he didn’t know what would happen with each movement of the lines, and this thrill and exploratory feeling brought him unprecedented satisfaction.
He didn't know how long had passed.
Finally, Qin Chen successfully refined the first formation flag.
Buzz! As soon as this formation flag appeared, it emitted a terrifying aura that made Qin Chen's heart race.
"Too strong! This formation flag underwent a completely different transformation in its structure, and its power has increased so much!" Qin Chen was somewhat excited himself.
Then, he continued to refine formation flags.
After successfully crafting one, the remaining flags were much simpler to refine. Qin Chen rapidly refined them one after another, and by the end, there were no mistakes; each formation flag was completed in one go.
He didn’t know how long it had been, but Qin Chen finally crafted enough formation flags. He first threw out the Tian Kong Wan Zhuan formation disk, then began to set up a spatial blocking formation around.
