"Nonsense, what do you want me to do?" Chu Xiujie berated. There was a hint of desire in his eyes, but he quickly realized that this was impossible.
Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai were usually active in the Marquis Zhongxin Manor. At most, they would only be active in Dragon City.
Even if they wanted to hire someone to kill the two of them, they'd have to hire an incredibly powerful expert to do it in the heavily guarded Dragon City and Marquis Zhongxin Manor. There was no need to even consider the Xiantian realm. At the very least, they'd have to be at the Divine realm.
Moreover, the price would likely be several times higher than normal. Just the thought of it made him feel a toothache. Hiring a Divine realm assassin to kill people in Dragon City would make him go bankrupt, and he might not even be able to afford it. He might as well do it himself.
He knew that this was impossible after a moment's thought.
"Let's not talk about whether or not we can hire an expert like that. Have you all forgotten how the previous heirs died? Eldest uncle and grandmother hate this kind of thing the most. Are you crazy? "Chu Xiujie immediately berated.
The others thought about it and agreed. The previous heirs had all died at the hands of an assassin, and the Marquis Zhongxin Manor shouldn't be too sensitive about this. If something like this happened again, it wouldn't matter no matter how clean they were. As long as they were suspected, they'd be stripped of their qualifications as heirs.
One could totally imagine how furious the Marquis of Zhong Xin would be!
As for whether or not Chu Yunfan could escape from this kind of pursuit, they didn't even consider it. Although Chu Yunfan had crippled Chu Yanghui with a single kick, it was also true that he didn't have any fluctuations of true qi or magic power. There was no way he was at the Divine realm. As long as he wasn't, there was no way he could escape.
"Let's do this for now. I can wait for him to court his own death. Didn't he say that he'd have Chu Hongcai challenge me in a month? At that time, if any problems occur on the stage, then don't blame me! "
Chu Xiujie said coldly.
"Young master Jie is wise!" the crowd said in unison.
The next morning, the Golden Crow rose in the east and the moon set in the west.
In the courtyard, Chu Yunfan, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, was covered in morning dew. Suddenly, Chu Yunfan's body moved slightly, and all the skin and flesh on his body vibrated at an astonishing frequency. In an instant, all the morning dew was shaken off from Chu Yunfan's body.
Chu Yunfan stood up. After a night of cultivation, his magic power had recovered a little. Although it was only a little, it was not enough to open the Mountain and River Diagram, but it was enough to open an ordinary Qiankun bag.
Most importantly, with this foundation, the speed of recovery would not be constant, but would become faster and faster!
Chu Hongcai reported in after eating a bit of breakfast. After a night of cultivation, he'd completely stabilized his cultivation, but he still hadn't regained his composure.
"Brother Fan, I've completely consolidated my cultivation!" Chu Hongcai said.
"Mm, not bad, but this is not enough. Come with me!" Chu Yunfan arrived at the courtyard's perimeter and opened his Qiankun bag. He placed piece after piece of low-grade spirit stones in the surroundings and set up a formation.
When the last formation eye was set up, the entire formation began to operate. Chu Hongcai immediately felt the surrounding spiritual energy become denser.
The spiritual energy in the Spiritual Realm was already very dense, and Marquis Zhongxin's Manor itself was built according to a huge geomancy layout. The spiritual energy here was ten times denser than outside.
However, after Chu Yunfan used several hundred low-grade spirit stones to set up the formation, the spiritual energy here was several times denser than in Marquis Zhongxin's Manor.
It was almost comparable to a small Blessed Paradise!
However, the Blessed Enclave was born with spirit veins, which could maintain a high concentration of spirit energy for a long time. Although the formation Chu Yunfan set up had the same effect as a small Blessed Enclave, it needed to consume spirit energy to maintain it.
"What a powerful formation!" Chu Hongcai stared at Chu Yunfan in astonishment. Brother Fan was much more mysterious than he'd imagined. It seemed like there was nothing he couldn't do.
Chu Yunfan said, "From now on, you'll cultivate here. Your cultivation speed will be much faster here than outside. Of course, this is only the basics. If you want to defeat Chu Xiujie in a month, this is far from enough!"
Chu Yunfan rarely set up formations like this himself. This was because he had an even more violent cultivation method. He directly swallowed the spiritual energy within low-grade spirit stones. He didn't need to use a formation to extract the spiritual energy within the spirit stones. Instead, he used a relatively gentle method to release the spiritual energy.
He usually swallowed the spiritual energy directly, which was much more efficient than using a formation to convert it. However, this was also an extremely demanding method for the cultivator. If Chu Hongcai imitated Chu Yunfan's method of swallowing spiritual energy, there would only be one outcome for him — his body would explode and he would die.
"Remember where to place these spirit stones. If I'm not here and the spiritual energy within a spirit stone is used up, you can just replace it with another!" Chu Yunfan said.
"Understood!" Chu Hongcai nodded.
Not long after, An Xiuxiu appeared outside the side courtyard. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she immediately felt the spiritual energy in the area become so dense that it was almost impossible to disperse.
She even felt as if she was submerged in spiritual energy!
"What a powerful formation!"
An Xiuxiu exclaimed in astonishment. Compared to Chu Hongcai, she had a better understanding of just how astonishing the formation that Chu Yunfan had set up was.
Marquis Zhongxin's manor was situated within a geomancy layout. Within this geomancy layout, Chu Yunfan was able to find an ingenious way to break out of the layout and directly draw the spiritual energy from the manor over.
One must know that the spiritual energy in the formation was so rich not only because of the few hundred pieces of low grade spirit stones that Chu Yunfan had set up. That was only a catalyst. Using these spirit stones to set up the formation, the spiritual energy in the residence of Marquis Zhong Xin would gather in this side courtyard.
An expert with the ability to see spiritual energy would be able to tell that this side courtyard was originally located at the edge of the geomancy layout of the manor. It was supposed to be the place with the least spiritual energy, but now, under the guidance of the formation, a large amount of spiritual energy was surging over.
"Cultivating in a place like this will yield twice the results with half the effort!" An Xiuxiu naturally understood just how important spiritual energy was to cultivators.
She was somewhat curious as to just how many more abilities Chu Yunfan had hidden. Why hadn't she had the slightest inkling of such a person before?
