The other two people who came with the Twelfth Uncle were the 19th Uncle Wang Shouzhong and the 18th Uncle Wang Daoping.
The 19th Uncle Wang Shouzhong's cultivation was average. He was in his sixties and had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. He was very low-key and meticulous in his work.
He used to manage the cutting of trees in a forest in the north of the family.
Now he was a steward of the Mining Mountain Hall. He came here on the orders of the Mining Mountain Hall Master to guard the Linzhi Mountain and manage the spiritual wood.
Although the 19th Uncle's talent was average, after the reform of the salary system, he was treated better and had more cultivation resources.
In the future, he would have a great chance to break through to the peak of Qi Refining and become a family elder.
The 18th Uncle Wang Daoping was a rising talent in the family in recent years. He was a cultivator with three spiritual roots. His wood spiritual root was seven inches and eight inches. He had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining at the age of 30.
He majored in alchemy and had good talent. He was already a first-rank mid-grade alchemist and was the heir that the Seventh Uncle focused on training.
The two of them came here to help the Fifth Brother Wang Daozong. One helped manage the spiritual wood, while the other helped manage the spiritual herbs.
The second purpose was to fight for the interests of each hall.
After the family's power was divided into nine halls and two divisions, there was also competition among the halls. The most obvious was the Medicine Hall and the Mining Mountain Hall.
In addition, the family implemented a system of more work, more pay. As long as one worked more, one would get more salary. Each hall was also working hard to improve their performance.
These two halls had to deal with the Spiritual Plants Hall. The spiritual herbs and spiritual wood needed to occupy the spiritual fields during the growing process.
There were only so many spiritual fields in the family, and they had to be planted separately.
If more spiritual wood was planted, less spiritual herbs would be planted, and the Medicine Hall's interests would be damaged.
On the other hand, if more spiritual herbs were planted, less spiritual wood would be planted, and the Mining Mountain Hall's interests would be damaged.
However, the First Elder and the Patriarch were suppressing them, and the Spiritual Plants Hall was mediating the relationship.
The Medicine Hall and the Mining Mountain Hall had always been in a state of healthy competition and did not cause damage to the family's interests.
On the contrary, the competition between the two halls increased the work efficiency.
In this way, the Patriarch and the Elders' attitude toward this matter was to maintain the status quo.
The Twelfth Uncle Wang Shouye told the three of them something and returned to the Jade Spring Peak on his sword.
After the three of them greeted Wang Daoyuan, they went about their own business.
Wang Daoyuan was too lazy to care about these things. As long as it didn't harm the family's interests, they could fight however they wanted.
If he were to harm the family's interests for the sake of the hall, then his position as the Elder of Punishments was not just for show.
The three of them walked away to do their own work. The Twelfth Uncle had already confirmed the recipe for the Spirit Peach Dew, so they could shovel away the unnecessary spirit plants and open up the spirit fields.
Since there were three laborers, he naturally had to help.
As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Wang Daoyuan naturally did not need to do such menial work. He continued to study the second-tier array patterns.
His current state was that he had one foot in the door to become a Tier 2 Array Master. After some hard work, he would become a Tier 2 Array Master.
At this moment, he was not in the mood to care about other things. All his energy was focused on inscribing.
After a month of hard work, he was finally able to skillfully inscribe Tier 2 formation runes. Next, he would be able to officially set up Tier 2 low-grade formations.
The first Tier 2 low-grade formation was naturally the Yi Wood Withering Formation. There was a ready-made formation disk at Lin Zhi Mountain.
The formation disk was to shrink the formation eye and inscribe all the formation runes needed for the formation eye onto a dharma treasure.
For simple formations, such as Tier 1 Spirit Gathering Formation, Sound Insulation Formation, etc., one formation disk could complete all the formation runes and formation eyes.
If it was a complex formation, there would be more than a dozen formation disks.
Formations with multiple formation disks also needed to be inscribed with formation runes to communicate with other formation disks.
Other than formation disks, there were also formation flags and other methods of setting up formations. The principles were about the same. Formation flags could also be considered a special kind of formation disk.
Because they had to forge formation disks, formation masters usually knew a little about weapon forging.
The forging of formation disks did not have high requirements for weapon forging skills. Even formation disks for Tier 2 high-grade formations only required a Tier 1 Weapon Forger to forge.
If one did not use formation disks and directly set up a fixed formation, then there were no requirements for weapon forging. As long as the material used for the formation eye was sturdy enough and its attribute did not clash with the formation, it would be fine.
The formation eyes needed to be connected with formation runes. If it was on the stone floor, these formation runes could be carved directly on the stone.
Of course, it was best to use spiritual items for the formation eye.
If he wanted to set up the Yi Wood Withering Formation, it was best to use spiritual wood for the formation eye.
His family was in the spiritual wood business. How could they lack this thing?
The formation runes connecting the various formation eyes were carved on the Iron Quinoa Wood. The Iron Quinoa Wood was sturdy and could withstand more spirit power impact.
The family had plenty of this stuff. He just had to send a message to the Twelfth Uncle and send Yun Yi, the freight flying tiger, to pull it back.
As for the material for the formation eye, it was best to use the Golden Jade Peaches that were native to Lin Zhi Mountain.
The Golden Jade Peaches grew here and were more suited to the spirit qi of Lin Zhi Mountain. Coupled with the fact that the material was very sturdy, it was perfect to create the formation eye.
During this period of time, Fifth Brother Wang Daozong had been pruning the peach trees. Many branches had been cut off from the largest peach tree.
Many of the branches of the large peach tree had reached the level of Tier 2 low-grade spiritual wood and could be used as the formation eye.
Controlling his flying sword, he chopped off a piece of peach wood that was more than a foot long and as thick as a bowl and slowly inscribed formation runes on it.
Compared to elixirs, talismans and weapons, setting up a formation was a huge project. The time required was much longer than refining elixirs and talismans.
It was common to take months to set up a large-scale formation.
However, there was also an advantage to setting up a formation. It had a high tolerance for mistakes. If there was a mistake, there was still a chance to remedy it. It was unlike refining elixirs and talismans where a mistake would cause the entire formation to be scrapped.
When inscribing the formation runes, if there was a mistake, he could just cut it off and re-inscribe it. If he failed many times, he would only lose a piece of formation eye material at most.
The Yi Wood Withering Formation had a total of 10 formation eyes. Wang Daoyuan used more than 30 pieces of materials to complete the inscription.
After that, it was time to inscribe the connecting formation runes on the Iron Quinoa Wood. This was very easy. Although the workload was more than the formation eye, there were fewer changes in the connecting formation runes and the difficulty was low.
Since it was his first time setting up such a large-scale formation, he was more cautious. He paid attention to the details and took more than a month to finish inscribing all the formation runes.
The task of connecting the formation eyes was relatively simple. He just had to place the formation eyes according to the predetermined positions and use the connecting formation runes to connect the various formation eyes.
At this moment, he just had to place spirit stones in each formation eye to activate the formation.
However, such a formation consumed too many spirit stones.
There were two spirit veins on Linzhi Mountain, so he naturally had to make use of them.
The formation runes used to connect the spirit veins were similar to the connecting formation runes between the formation eyes. Furthermore, they were even simpler. He had already inscribed them with the Iron Quinoa Wood.
He just had to dig the spirit veins underground and place the Iron Quinoa Wood that was inscribed with the connecting formation runes to connect the spirit veins to the formation eyes.
After setting up everything, Wang Daoyuan came to the core formation eye and used his spiritual sense to activate the formation runes.
Spiritual Qi flowed from the spirit veins underground through the connecting formation runes and entered the formation eyes. Spiritual Qi flowed between the various formation eyes.
In just a few breaths of time, the entire formation was activated.
If one looked at it from afar, the entire Linzhi Mountain was shrouded in a faintly discernible green fog.
The formation covered a range of 300 meters away from the Linzhi Mountain.
Even the Sawtooth Vine Wall that he had set up earlier was covered by the formation.
He tried to activate the formation and use the Entanglement Technique. The Sawtooth Vine Wall grew rapidly.
Without using any spirit energy, the Sawtooth Vine Wall grew three meters tall. The Yi Wood Withering Formation was successfully set up.
