Chapter 216
216 LIMITER RUNE-The whole limiter rune was divided into four sections. The first section was the absorber section. It dealt with the absorption of QI from the body. The second section was the storage section, which dealt with the storage of the absorbed Qi. The third section referred to the circulatory channels/formation lines and the last part was miscellaneous. The last section was the most diverse one as they contained stabilizers, aura trappers, control enhancers, and many other types of formations.
Long Tao began the practice with the first section. He started to comprehend each type of formation and once the comprehension was complete, he started drawing the formation on the inscription paper and tested it out with the surrounding aura. The result was up to the marks and then he moved on to the next formation.
The complicated scenario faced by him was that there were multiple formations in the first phase. Although a singular formation could be used instead of these multiple formations to absorb all kinds of energy, efficiency and selectivity decreased. The Keeper suggested a particular alignment in which call the different formations are to be established so that the efficiency which could be achieved becomes maximum.
Long Tao followed the same set of procedures for all the formations. The first phase finally came to an end and it was time to move to the second phase. The formation for this procedure was also different for different Qi attributes and he had followed another tedious schedule of comprehending, drawing, testing, and finalizing it out.
“Since you have managed to comprehend the absorption and the storage formations, it is time for you to learn about the formation lines. The specialty of formation lines is that they act as a bridge between different kinds of formations. In your case, two types of formation lines come into play. The first kind is the ones which will act as a channel to transfer the absorbed Qi from one formation to another, while the second type of formations are the ones which would be connecting the various storage formations.”
“The significance of the second kind is to help the inter-transmission of aura between different storage formations.”
“What is achieved by doing so? Wouldn’t we be wasting even more Qi by doing so?”
“You would indeed be utilizing some of the absorbed Qi, this process works as a breathing system for the storage units. It prevents them from getting overloaded and bursting by themselves. I hope you understand what would happen if the formation burst by themselves. It would create a chain reaction which would result in the rest of the formation bursting out in the same fashion and all the Qi absorbed until that point would be directly poured into your body. Hence this process is very crucial.”
Long Tao was shocked to hear the possible consequences of not doing the work properly and hence he concentrated on the formation lines. He experimented with the formation lines multiple times, with and without the first two kinds of formations.

“The test can be divided into the other avatars; you need to move to the last phase.”
The last phase was called miscellaneous. “What are the specifics of this set of formations.”
“The last part is made up of multiple types of formations, that includes stabilizers which would act as a boundary for your formations and control them from bursting out. There is an energy trapper formation which would help you conserve some of the dissipated energies from the other three types. You also have a detecting formation and a command formation. The first act as a detector in times of absolute need of Qi, while the other works as a control center with which you could operate the whole formation set, it is the most crucial component which will come in handy when you are about to break-through.”
The last phase of practice soon began within the artifact.

Teng Family-
The elder hall was amid chaos due to the recent occurrences within the Pill-Bloom city. They managed to make an enemy out of a person who was soon going to become one of the monstrous figures within the Pill valley. The records which Lu Ming achieved were the highest possible in the competition. He simultaneously broke all the records and held the record for the upcoming generations. Just two sets of performances were enough to make a name for him in the world.
“We need to take care of the situation soon. Should we eliminate Lu Ming?” One of the core elders spoke up.
“Are you mad? It was out of the question when the first round ended. Now that he holds a second record with the maximum possible score and highest ever to be achieved, the Valley Head must be personally watching the competition.” Another elder rejected the thought
“If we take action on Lu Ming, the valley head is sure to intervene with the full force of the Pill Valley. Even the Ten families together are not powerful enough to bear such a burden.” Another elder supported the thought.
“The relationship has already taken a sour turn. We need to act fast, or else we would see the rise of a dangerous enemy.”
“Silence. I would like the patriarch to comment on this topic” The grand elder spoke up to suppress the distress caused within the hall.
Teng Luo was sitting there in absolute silence. The words of the grand elder make him look up at the group of elders.
“I want the names of the elders who were in charge of the operation earlier.” 3 elders stepped out. Nervousness spread all over their faces. The patriarch seemed pissed off due to the failure of the last operation.
“Each of you will be punished with one thousand lashes and will be thrown into the underground prison for a month. Leave it to accept your punishment.” The elder’s expression hung into pale white. They didn’t expect the patriarch to be so ruthless in his punishments.
“As per the rest of you, prepare a good gift as compensation for the inconvenience you have caused Lu Ming to undergo. Also, invite him to my name.”
The elders were surprised. The patriarch was going to arrange a personal meeting with Lu Ming. Guess the result he obtained was quite substantial.

Crimson Lord World-
Long Tao finally managed to learn and test all the formations listed under each of the sets. It was finally time to start inscribing them onto the bodies of his avatars.
“The base fluid which is going to be used to draw the rune is the blood essence from the pool. Extract a lot from it and start the process. The herbal blend which I had you concoct should be mixed with it. You also need to keep in mind that the formation should be completed in one go. You can’t take breaks in between.”
Long Tao nodded. It was best to have his avatar Lu Ming inscribe the formation because he had the soul Qi ball within his soul space, which could provide a huge supply of soul QI, compensating the expenditure during the inscribing of the rune.
The first set of inscriptions took a very long time due to the micro-inscription needed to formulate it. With each successive drawing, Lu Ming was getting more and more proficient in drawing the formation.
Finally, just before the start of the second competition, two avatars managed to have the inscription drawn on their body. It was time for Lu Ming to rest up and prepare for the last test.
