Spirit Gathering Array!
Although it was rare, it wasn't like others hadn't seen it before.
This was especially true for the newly joined Honorary Elders.
These people were experts in their own right. They were great cultivators in the Vision Divine Realm and the God Martial Realm. In any sect, they would have a high status.
Therefore.
With their knowledge and experience, they had also seen Spirit Gathering Formations before.
However —
The Spirit Gathering Formations in other places were rarely able to cover the entire sect.
In the vast majority of sects.
The Spirit Gathering Array Formation only covered a small hall and a courtyard.
These places.
They were the treasured cultivation grounds of the sect. Every month, a portion of the disciples would enter to cultivate. Moreover, it wasn't free.
Even if some of the top sects.
They would set up a Spirit Gathering Array that covered the entire sect. However, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi would at most increase by a few percent.
Just like Yuan Zong.
Doubling the concentration of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi could be said to be unique.
Unless it was a sect that also had an Array Master, they might be able to achieve this. Other sects definitely didn't have the capital to do so.
Among them.
The Array Dao Grandmaster played a decisive role.
Of course.
There were also sects that thought of inviting an Array Master to set up an array.
However, the price to invite such a person was definitely not light.
Moreover —
No sect would be at ease. An Array Master setting up an array in their sect was equivalent to an invisible hidden danger. If the other party left behind any hidden cards, it would be a big problem.
Just as everyone was shocked by the change in Liang Mountain's Spirit Qi.
Qin Shujian didn't stop. Instead, he continued to inscribe runes in the air.
This time.
What he wanted to set up was no longer a Spirit Gathering Array, but a defensive array.
Array Masters could inscribe arrays in the air, using Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi as nourishment.
However.
If the array had a corresponding carrier, then the strength it could display would be even stronger.
Now.
Qin Shujian used the entire Liang Mountain as a carrier and connected it to the veins of the earth. Then, he set up a huge defensive array.
When the runes were being drawn.
The earth trembled.
The entire Liang Mountain seemed to have discovered a slight change.
In this situation.
No Array Master dared to spy on it.
Just now, when they were inscribing the Spirit Gathering Formation, they had already exhausted their mental strength to the limit.
He couldn't even see a complete Spirit Gathering Array, let alone setting up a defensive array.
Time slowly passed.
Compared to inscribing the Spirit Gathering Array, which only took him half an hour, setting up the defensive array took Qin Shujian an entire day.
When the last rune fell, Ye Zichen's eyes lit up.
On the surface.
There was no change in Liang Mountain.
But in reality, as the earth veins were connected, the essence energy in the depths of the earth had already been stirred up. Together with the formation patterns, it formed a huge formation that enveloped the entire Mount Liang.
However …
The formation was hidden in the void and the earth.
As long as he didn't touch it, there wouldn't be any problems.
After setting up the formation.
Qin Shujian returned to the Yuan Sect.
In the courtyard.
Zheng Fang, Zhang Tieniu, and Niu Feng were all sitting there.
The person sitting on the other side was Qin Shujian.
"This time, I've set up a Master level formation in Liang Mountain. It's enough to withstand the attack of a Diviner. Here are three rune stones that can activate the formation. If a strong enemy attacks, you can use them to activate the formation."
As he spoke, Qin Shujian had already taken out three jade stones and handed them to Zheng Fang and the other two.
"Remember, the formation can't be activated easily unless you really encounter a strong enemy."
"We understand!"
Zheng Fang and the other two solemnly put away the jade stones. Their expressions also became serious.
Then …
Qin Shujian gave them a few more instructions and directly let them leave.
The formation that was set up in the sect was to prevent a strong enemy from attacking. After all, although the Yuan Sect was a top sect, the gap in combat strength was too serious. A defensive formation was imperative.
Or else …
If he left the sect, he would be destroyed.
That would really be too funny.
The Cultivation Imparting Elder, the Law Enforcement Elder and the Mountain Guardian Elder were all above the other elders. They were also deeply trusted by Qin Shujian. Thus, the three jades were enough to deal with any unexpected situations.
"Setting up a formation really isn't an easy task." Qin Shujian shook his head as he sensed the exhaustion of his Divine Will.
It was fine to set up a spirit gathering formation.
As a formation that attracted the spirit energy of heaven and earth, the difficulty was not high.
The real difficulty was …
The defensive formation that was set up later.
This formation.
It was enough to be compared with the formation that he used to fight against the Six Desires Demon Lord.
The difference was …
The previous formation was based on twelve Dao Artifacts.
The formation this time …
It was based on the mountain range and earth.
Both of them had the same effect.
To put it bluntly …
Qin Shujian was still wandering around the Prominent Divine Stage. Although the Spiritual God was powerful, there was still a limit to it. Laying down such an array would not be cheap for him at all.
It was also indirectly proved.
Array Masters were powerful, but there was also a limit.
Unless one's own realm could keep up.
Or else …
Even if one had the ability to set up a formation, without enough spirit energy to support it, it would be difficult to continue.
This rest.
He rested for a full two days.
After his spirit recovered.
Qin Shujian did not stay idle. He went to the other branches and set up a smaller spirit gathering formation as well as a corresponding defensive formation.
Even the Demon Vein.
He treated everyone equally and set up two formations for the Lion Tiger Plain where the big green ox was.
Although the Demon Vein was mainly made up of beasts.
But it was ruled by Niu Dali.
These beasts had contributed a lot to the Yuan Sect.
Not to mention anything else.
Just as foot strength, they were quite popular.
Sometimes, Qin Shujian even considered whether he should find a few powerful demonic beasts to pull the carriage, so that he would look more impressive.
But after thinking about it …
He gave up on this plan.
Ordinary beasts pulling a carriage might not be as fast as him flying in the air.
As for powerful beasts …
It was not an easy task to subdue them.
More importantly …
Demonic beasts had to be tamed and reared. If one were to seriously consider it, there were simply too many troublesome matters.
At this moment.
Xiao Hong had already come again.
This time.
Qin Shujian, on the other hand, met him at Chengwu Hall.
"Steward Xiao, are you here this time for the previous matter?" Looking at Xiao Hong, Qin Shujian had a smile on his face.
It was fine if the other party did not come.
Since he came.
Then the result would definitely satisfy him.
Hearing this, Xiao Hong cupped his hands and said, "This old man is also here for this matter."
Speaking of this.
He paused for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "In order to ask Sect Master Qin to help, the imperial court is willing to offer ten spirit stones, as well as a thousand kilograms of accompanying jade. The other three innate spirit items are all comparable to upper grade spirit weapons.
I wonder if Sect Master Qin is satisfied with such a reward? "
Hearing this, Li Changshou said.
Qin Shujian's mind was already spinning fast.
Twenty spirit stones!
A thousand kilograms of accompanying jade!
And five innate spirit items!
Such a reward could not be said to be not generous.
Although on the market, one spirit stone was worth ten million taels of silver, and the accompanying jade was worth one hundred thousand taels per kilogram. This was already worth two hundred million taels.
Not to mention.
The price was one thing, but such things were simply priceless on the market.
Not to mention ten million taels.
Even if the price was doubled.
Almost no one would sell it.
So if it was judged purely by the price, it was not worthy of the status of spirit stones.
As for the three innate spirit items of upper grade spirit weapons.
In terms of value, they were not inferior to spirit stones and accompanying jade.
Generally speaking.
The price offered by the imperial court this time was already very high.
Even an ordinary large sect of the Spirit Domain might not be able to offer something worth five or six hundred million taels of silver.
This also let Qin Shujian know.
He still underestimated his identity as a Formation Master.
Such a price.
In exchange for a chance to help.
To be honest.
Qin Shujian wanted to rely on this to make a fortune.
However, this was just a thought.
Even if he really did not care about his face and was willing to help anyone with money, there were not many forces that could bear such a price. Unless it was a big family like the imperial court, even those top sects.
Taking out so many things at once was enough for them to feel heartache.
Looking at Qin Shujian's expression.
Xiao Hong said, "But according to the imperial court, we can only pay half of the things first. The rest needs some time to prepare and can only be given to Sect Master Qin later."
Pay half of the deposit first.
After the matter was done, give the other half.
Qin Shujian did not have any objections to this approach.
After all, it was a transaction of several hundred million taels of silver. Even if he paid half of the deposit first, he would not lose out at all.
Now, he had emptied the entire Yuan Sect.
Under the situation of not selling the Dao artifacts, it was estimated that he only had two or three hundred million taels of silver.
"I have a request."
"Sect Master Qin, please speak!"
"I need to get those three innate spirit items first."
"Okay!" Xiao Hong did not hesitate and nodded. "The innate spirit items will be sent to Sect Master Qin within three days."
Anyway, the conditions had been agreed.
There was no problem no matter what the other party chose.
Thinking of the instructions given by Marquis Beiyun on this trip, he felt assured.
Subsequently.
Xiao Hong said again, "Seven days later, I will invite Sect Master Qin to Zong Yang City. Marquis will be waiting in the Marquis' mansion."
"Okay!"
"Then I will take my leave first. I will be back in three days!"
"Steward Xiao, take care."
"Goodbye."
After the matter was settled, Xiao Hong did not stay for long.
After sending someone to send the other party away, Qin Shujian also returned.
The reason why he chose to get the innate spirit items first was that he considered that his current strength was not enough. Even if he had the means of a Formation Dao Grandmaster, it would be difficult to maintain it forever.
He had to solve the problem of Spiritual Force consumption.
Either he had to break through the current realm.
Or he could use the Wisdom King Hellfire to calcine the spirit items and devour the fire lotuses to increase his Spiritual Force.
After obtaining the Wisdom King Hellfire.
Qin Shujian also tried to calcine other things. Unfortunately, except for the demons and the innate spirit items, the other things did not successfully nurture the fire lotuses.
