“Try arranging these seven stones according to the Big Dipper constellation.”
After He Xiuyuan gathered all seven stones, he began to calculate.
The crane stood by, constantly shaking its feathers, as if some dust from the stones had gotten on its body. It seemed very fond of cleanliness.
However, the first time He Xiuyuan saw this crane, he remembered that some of its feathers were still quite dirty, likely from fighting with the sealed demon.
Now that the demon was gone, the crane had also started to become fond of cleanliness.
“There isn’t enough space on this Mountain Peak to arrange these stones.”
He Xiuyuan only glanced around and realized that there wasn't enough space on the Mountain Peak to place the Seven Star Stones.
If that were the case, he would have to place the stones on the cliff face.
On such a high Mountain Peak, the cliff wall would certainly be large enough for the Seven Star Stones.
He Xiuyuan thought of this, picked up a stone from the side, and then descended with the water.
Once He Xiuyuan finished his calculations, he immediately found the positions of the seven stars, then He Xiuyuan first arrived at the position of the Heavenly Pivot star.
On the cliff face, the position of the Heavenly Pivot was incredibly smooth, with no place to put a stone.
He Xiuyuan looked around, then pointed his finger. A drop of water immediately flew out from the gourd and directly smashed against the cliff wall in front of him.
According to the position He Xiuyuan had in mind, a suitable sized hole was easily smashed out by the water droplet.
Seeing this, He Xiuyuan immediately tried to fill the empty space with a stone. However, as soon as the stone touched the spot, a subtle resistance came through the next moment.
This resistance was very small, but it caused the stone in He Xiuyuan’s hand to unconsciously fall to the side.
If it were an ordinary person, he would not have noticed this subtle resistance.
This feeling was exactly the same as the feeling he had previously at the foot of Biluo Temple. He Xiuyuan’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly used force, trying to push the stone in.
However, as the stone got closer, that subtle resistance became increasingly strong, directly blocking the stone firmly outside.
He Xiuyuan frowned at this. It seemed that without the Imperial Edict Method, he wouldn't be able to push this stone in.
This made He Xiuyuan, who originally wanted to save some trouble, helplessly resort to the Imperial Edict Method.
As the Imperial Edict was struck into the stone, that resistance then dissipated, and the stone easily fell into the stone hole, fitting perfectly.
Seeing this, He Xiuyuan immediately took the second stone, marked the position of the Heavenly Jade star, and then continued to place the stone.
After all this busy work, when the last star position, Yaoguang, also had its stone placed, the Big Dipper in the night sky suddenly lit up.
The moment the Big Dipper lit up, it directly illuminated the seven star positions on the cliff face. The next moment, a sudden strong wind arose on the Mountain Peak, and then He Xiuyuan felt that the Spiritual Qi on the Mountain Peak suddenly began to gather.
“What is this…?”
He Xiuyuan looked around in astonishment. He had originally thought that once the Big Dipper Formation was set up, it might serve to confuse and protect the things on this Mountain Peak.
However, what He Xiuyuan hadn't expected was that after the Big Dipper Formation was set up, Spiritual Qi would begin to gather at this moment.
Could it be that this was the effect after the Big Dipper Formation was set up?
But if there was such an effect, why didn't it have such a function at Biluo Temple?
He Xiuyuan thought carefully. At Biluo Temple at that time, when he restored the Formation positions, he indeed did not see such an effect.
He also didn't know where the problem lay in this.
However, thinking about these things now was useless. He would know if he had a chance to go back to Biluo Temple and check later.
He Xiuyuan thought of this, and at the moment, he no longer thought much, his gaze still fixed on his surroundings, watching the changes around him.
The Spiritual Qi on the Mountain Peak began to become increasingly dense at this moment, and the yuxintang paper in the distant cave rustled as it flipped.
And the medicinal herbs in the medicinal field were also swayed by the surrounding spiritual wind at this moment, their tender green leaves constantly swaying.
Even the leaves of the crape myrtle tree nearby rustled incessantly at this moment.
As the surrounding Spiritual Qi continuously gathered, wisps of mist began to condense around the Mountain Peak. As the mist condensed, it began to envelop the entire Mountain Peak.
The originally bright Big Dipper slowly dimmed somewhat at this moment.
The crane perched on the crape myrtle tree nearby looked around in some astonishment at this moment.
Clearly, it was also startled by the Spiritual Qi that had suddenly gathered around, and then the crane's gaze fell on He Xiuyuan.
This He Xiuyuan truly always had a way of surprising it.
He Xiuyuan sat to the side, quietly watching the winds and clouds rise around him. After the commotion around him slowly ended, he felt the Spiritual Qi gathered around him, and the faint mist, and was immediately satisfied.
This way, it would be quite difficult for someone who didn't understand this Formation to enter.
Especially since the positions where He Xiuyuan placed the Seven Star Stones were directly embedded into the cliff face, it would be very difficult for outsiders to even find these Seven Star Stones.
This way, trying to reach the Mountain Peak by relying on the seven star positions would be difficult to achieve.
After confirming that the Seven Star Formation was working, He Xiuyuan surveyed the area, then sat down again and once more began to gather the Essence of the Sun and Moon.
..........
The next day.
After condensing a drop of the Essence of the Sun and Moon, He Xiuyuan opened his eyes.
Usually at this time, countless birds would fly to the Mountain Peak, but now they were gone. It seemed they were all blocked outside.
He Xiuyuan was quite satisfied with this.
Then, He Xiuyuan drew a ball of mountain spring water, infused the Essence of the Sun and Moon into it, and then lightly tapped it. This ball of mountain spring water was evenly sprinkled into the surrounding medicinal fields.
Even the fruit trees and rice nearby received some.
Perhaps nourished by the Spiritual Qi, when the mountain spring water was sprinkled, these fruit trees all swayed, seeming very joyful.
He Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile at this.
The crane nearby had already finished Cultivating and was about to fly away, spreading its wings.
He Xiuyuan quickly called out to the crane, “Crane Brother, if you return, you must enter through the Qian position, then turn to the Li position, and then enter the Kan position, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get in.”
The crane paused slightly after hearing He Xiuyuan's words before flying away, seemingly having taken in everything he said.
He Xiuyuan smiled at this, then walked to the small vegetable garden nearby, picked some vegetables, and prepared to start a fire to cook.
“I haven't learned the art of fire manipulation. Starting a fire every day is a bit troublesome. Next time, if I have the chance, I should see if I can learn this fire spell.”
He Xiuyuan pondered this matter as he picked vegetables.
