Benefits!
There must be some.
After all, it was impossible to ask a formation master to help without risking anything.
Although the Great Zhao ruled the world.
The cultivation world was also under the control of the imperial court.
But this was only in name. In fact, the two sides rarely interfered with each other. As long as the forces of the cultivation world did not do anything that had too great an impact, the imperial court would basically not intervene.
In the same way.
If the imperial court needed the cultivation world to help, they would not directly oppress them with righteousness.
They would still give the benefits that should be given.
Or else …
Blind oppression would eventually lead to a strong backlash.
Although it was given, it was given.
It was the first time that Xiao Hong had met someone who asked so directly like Qin Shujian.
The higher the cultivation level of the cultivator.
The more they valued their face.
After a short silence, Xiao Hong coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Sect Master Qin, you can rest assured that the imperial court will not be stingy with the reward if you can ask a formation master to help."
"Why don't you tell me the price?"
"…"
Xiao Hong was speechless again.
He was just a messenger, so he didn't know what kind of price the Imperial Court was willing to pay.
However.
Since Qin Shujian asked, he calmed down and said, "What does Sect Master Qin want?"
"Spirit stones, a lot of spirit stones!" Qin Shujian said. Then, he added, "Or you can use the jade that comes with spirit stones, but you need more of them. Also, if it's a Dao Artifact or an Innate Spirit Item, I'll need some."
Spirit stones and jade accompanied by spirit stones!
It was specially used to preserve the grandmaster-level formation.
After all, once a grandmaster-level formation could be completely engraved, it was equivalent to a Deva Decree. And in terms of killing area, it was more useful than a Deva Decree that only had one person's power.
Even if it was a long-term battle, it was not comparable to an ordinary Deva Decree.
It should be known that although the Deva Decree contained the power of a Deva, it only had the power of one blow.
If one blow could not achieve success.
Then the Deva Decree would naturally dissipate.
But the grandmaster-level formation was different.
Once the formation was set up, unless someone used a powerful force to break the formation or waited for time to retreat, it would always exist.
An engraved grandmaster-level formation.
If there was no external interference.
It could last for at least three to five days.
In this way.
The matter of Yuan Zong's lack of combat strength could be considered to have been temporarily resolved.
It was a pity.
Spirit stones were simply too rare. Even the accompanying jade stones were extremely rare. Even with Yuan Zong's current power and influence, it was impossible for him to gather any information within a short period of time.
As for the few spiritual stones in Yuan Zong's hands, they had already fused with the mountain.
Vaguely.
It was already the foundation for the future.
Digging it out was no different from killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
Hearing this.
Xiao Hong's expression also turned serious, but he didn't shake his head to refuse. Instead, he said solemnly, "This old man will report Sect Master Qin's request to the Marquis. We will give Sect Master a satisfactory answer when the time comes."
"Then I'll have to trouble you!"
"This is what this old man should do." Xiao Hong smiled faintly.
If someone else had asked for spirit stones or Connate Spirit Items, he would have definitely turned and left.
After all, there was such a thing.
It was an extremely precious treasure no matter where it was placed.
But Qin Shujian was different.
There was no difference between a Formation Grandmaster and a Diviner. Especially on the battlefield in the future, a Formation Grandmaster was even more terrifying than a Diviner.
To ask such an expert for help.
It was only right for him to pay the price.
Then, the two chatted for a long time before Xiao Hong got up and said goodbye.
Qin Shujian didn't get up to send him off. He just asked an outer sect elder to send him out of Mount Liang.
"Spirit stones!"
"Connate Spirit Items!"
Qin Shujian's fingers touched the rim of the cup. His expression was indescribable. No one knew what he was thinking.
According to his estimation.
Even if the imperial court could give him spirit stones, they wouldn't give him too many. Most of them would be jade stones that accompanied the spirit stones.
But this was enough.
As for the latter.
The possibility of the Imperial Court directly taking out a Dao Artifact was not high. After all, Dao Artifacts were extremely precious everywhere, comparable to a great cultivator of the Divine Martial Realm. On the other hand, although Innate Spiritual Items were rare, they were not that precious.
After all —
Under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible for a Connate Spirit Item to transform into a Dao item without at least a thousand years.
As for the Connate Spirit Embryo.
Perhaps the imperial court might not even have one.
For Qin Shujian.
Right now, the Yuan Sect didn't lack cultivation methods and martial arts. With the current storage in the library, it was already enough.
As for formations.
The several Guru level formations he had obtained before were enough for him to deduce other formations based on the original foundation. Therefore, even if it was a Guru level formation, it would not be of much use to him.
In comparison.
On the other hand, spirit stones, jade stones, Dao items, and Connate Spirit Items were more useful to Qin Shujian.
The former could allow the other people in the Yuan Sect to have strength that surpassed their own for a short period of time.
It could be considered as making up for the gap in his realm.
The latter.
It could increase his own strength.
Qin Shujian's Spiritual Divinity had broken through its original limits after being burned by the Bright King's Karmic Fire and devouring the fire lotuses one after another.
Even if his true realm was only at the peak of the seventh level of the Spirit Martial Realm.
But he was confident.
Without relying on Dao items or formations, he could suppress a peak Prominent Divine Martial Realm cultivator.
Then.
Qin Shujian stood up. He stepped into the air and stood on Mount Liang.
Looking at the majestic mountain in front of him.
He couldn't help but associate it with the original small mountain.
Now, here.
It was the foundation of the Yuan Sect.
Previously, Qin Shujian had planned to set up a Sect Protecting Formation and a Spirit Gathering Formation around the sect. However, due to certain reasons, he hadn't really implemented it.
Now, he was free.
He also planned to complete his previous plan.
Mount Liang was very tall!
It was nine thousand feet tall!
In the entire Mount Liang Spirit Region, there was no taller mountain than this.
Boom!!
Qin Shujian moved his finger. When a rune was drawn, the void immediately rumbled.
Like a tidal wave, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swept over.
A huge commotion.
It immediately attracted the attention of others.
"This is … Setting up a formation!" When the people from the Array Hall saw the figure standing in the void and the mysterious rune drawn by his finger, they were first stunned. Then, they were pleasantly surprised.
A Master Level Formation!
They actually had the chance to see a Master Level Formation with their own eyes.
A Master Level Formation.
Setting up a formation with a wave of his hand.
When a formation was set up, unless one was an existence of the same level, one wouldn't even have the qualifications to observe it.
Just like what Qin Shujian was doing now.
The drawing of the runes one by one gave them the opportunity to observe the runes.
Even Xiang Haogan.
At this moment, they were also silent. They stared blankly at the runes drawn in the void. They didn't relax for a moment.
As for Zuo Jin.
It was the same at this moment.
In the void.
Qin Shujian's finger drew the power of heaven and earth. Every time it drew across the void, there seemed to be Dao Rhymes circulating. Every stroke of the runes was naturally formed. Endless mysteries were contained within.
When the first rune was successfully drawn.
Below, some people's faces turned pale. They directly closed their eyes and didn't dare to watch anymore.
These people.
They were the apprentices who had just started learning about formations. They knew some knowledge about formations, but they couldn't even be considered as a true beginner.
With their foundation in formations.
When they saw the first rune, they couldn't take it anymore.
Sensing the commotion around him, Xiang Haogan immediately shouted, "Those who can't take it, don't force yourself to look. Otherwise, it will damage your divine consciousness!"
As for those who didn't know about formations.
They didn't react at all.
This was the difference between those who knew and those who didn't.
In the eyes of those who didn't know about formations, runes were runes. There was no difference and they couldn't see through the mystery.
But for those who knew about formations.
Runes were runes.
But it was also a manifestation of Dao.
Such an impact.
It was a test of the formation master's cultivation and understanding of formations.
When the second rune appeared.
There were already low-grade formation masters who couldn't take it anymore. They also closed their eyes and stopped watching. But there were still people who forced themselves to hold on.
However —
When the third rune was drawn halfway.
Puff!
The formation master who forced himself to hold on had already spat out blood and didn't dare to watch anymore.
The third rune!
The fourth rune!
The fifth rune!
Zuo Jin's face was a little pale. In his eyes, the runes engraved in the void had already turned into thunderbolts of heaven and earth. They had already appeared in his mind and kept striking his divine consciousness, causing it to shake.
Fortunately.
Although he was a middle-grade formation master, his understanding of formations wasn't bad at all.
When the other middle-grade formation masters saw the fifth rune, they couldn't hold on anymore.
Only Zuo Jin.
He was still holding on.
He knew in his heart that such an opportunity to watch a formation master set up a formation was very rare.
If he missed it just like that.
He would really regret it for the rest of his life.
Apart from Zuo Jin, the only one who was still observing the rune outline was the upper-grade array master in the array formation hall.
The void trembled!
The spiritual energy turned into a tide!
The terrifying heavenly power emitted from the runes made everyone's heart sink.
When the eleventh rune was successfully drawn.
Zuo Jin finally couldn't take it anymore. He closed his eyes unwillingly and then sat cross-legged on the ground. He kept digesting the first eleven runes that he had memorized in his mind in an attempt to preserve the Dao Rhythm.
When the twelfth rune appeared.
There were already high-grade formation masters who couldn't take it anymore.
When the twenty-third rune appeared, even Xiang Haogan, who had the most profound cultivation in formations, had to close his eyes and give up the idea of continuing to observe.
Qin Shujian didn't stop at all. One rune after another was drawn from his hands and then engraved in the void.
In less than half an hour.
A huge formation that encompassed the entire Yuan Sect was formed.
The moment the formation was formed.
Everyone felt a large amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth surging towards them.
Under the impact of the rich spiritual energy, some people already felt that the bottleneck of their cultivation level was loosened.
If the original spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Yuan Sect was one, then it was at least three now.
