The two formations clashed and the result shocked everyone. The hundred elders did not last more than ten moves and were all sent flying. The formation was broken and they all fell to the ground, unable to get up.
"Haha …" Song Chengzhi's laughter was deafening.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. He did not expect it to have such an effect.
Mo Heng and Fu Tianlei looked at the elderly men on the ground in shock, then at Chu Li with smiles on their faces.
This was a real increase in power. They did not expect the White Dew Formation to be so powerful just by drawing a few circles and triangles as if it was child's play. It was truly shocking.
They also thought that Chu Li would be able to increase the White Dew Formation's power after mastering formations, but they did not expect it to be this much. This was only the weakest formation, but it was able to suppress the strongest formation. It really felt like he was reborn.
If it was the strongest formation, the White Dew Formation's power would be more than a few times stronger.
Everyone stared at Chu Li with their eyes wide open, unable to hide their enthusiasm.
Chu Li said, "Clan Leader, every formation needs to be improved, and it needs to be turned into a small formation. A hundred people in a formation is too inflexible. It's best if five people in a formation. This can't be done in a short period of time."
"Haha, there's no rush. Every little change counts." Song Chengzhi looked at Chu Li with a strange and passionate gaze.
Chu Li felt a little weak under his gaze and quickly said, "It's best if we can find a few courtyards so that they don't interfere with each other. I'll change four formations a day and try to finish in the shortest time possible."
"Alright, I'll listen to you!" Song Chengzhi's voice was gentle and friendly. "Isn't it too tiring to change four formations a day? Why don't you change two?"
He couldn't wait to change all the formations in one go, but he knew that it would take a lot of effort. How many people could memorize the footwork of a hundred people, and then modify their footwork according to their cultivation and figure? Just thinking about it made his scalp go numb. The brains of these formation masters were really not human, they were all monsters beyond imagination.
When ordinary people looked at formation masters, it was like how people in Chu Li's past life looked at chess masters. They were too far behind and felt like they were not of the same species. They would inexplicably have a sense of respect for intelligence.
Chu Li shook his head. "Finish as soon as possible. We still need to practice the small formations."
"Why don't we just forget about it? A group of 100 people is enough," Song Chengzhi said.
Chu Li replied, "A formation of a hundred people is too inflexible. It's fine on the battlefield, but what about during normal times?"
"That's true." Song Chengzhi nodded. "I'll listen to you, but it's more exhausting. Let's do it bit by bit."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
"Let's call it a day." Song Chengzhi pulled Chu Li towards the main hall. "I'll make the arrangements first. We'll start tomorrow."
Chu Li followed him into the hall.
The two Vice Hall Masters also came in. The four of them sat in the main hall, and the hundred people outside began to practice the formation again. They wanted nothing more than to practice the formation until they were extremely familiar with it. They didn't even need to think about it.
"For Chu Li's meritorious service this time, I think he should be rewarded with a rank," Song Chengzhi said.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at him in confusion.
Song Chengzhi's expression was solemn as he looked at the two Vice Hall Masters with bright eyes.
Mo Heng said, "It is indeed worthy of a grade's merit."
Fu Tianlei nodded in agreement.
Song Chengzhi smiled. "Then it's settled. You'll be rewarded with a grade of merit."
Chu Li asked doubtfully, "Hall Master, what's a grade?"
"The nine divisions of the Outland's Nine Divisions are all based on grades. Nine is the lowest, and grade one is the highest. Of course, there's also the supreme grade, but that's only when one has contributed to the entire Outland." Song Chengzhi said, "Grade one is already the highest grade in the nine divisions."
Chu Li smiled. "Hall Master, I don't have that much merit. It's just some minor repairs. It's nothing much."
"Although we don't know about formations, we know how great your repairs are." Song Chengzhi waved his hand. "Chu Li, you don't have to be so humble. Everyone knows it."
Mo Heng said, "Once the formation diagrams are out, the formation masters will no longer pay attention to them, because these things are too trivial and time-consuming. They just let us cultivate the formation according to the diagrams. But Chu Li, you also know that the power of the same formation diagrams can vary greatly."
Chu Li frowned. "Is there no formation master who came to help?"
"No." Mo Heng shook his head. Mo Heng shook his head and said, "Formation Grandmasters who can help are too lazy to bother with such trivial matters. There are Formation Grandmasters who want to help, but can't. Their cultivation levels are not high enough. Fortunately, everyone is like this."
"It's worth it to hire a formation master." Chu Li said. Mo Heng shook his head and laughed.
"No matter how big the price is, it's not worth mentioning in the eyes of a formation master."
Chu Li slowly nodded. "I see."
"Chu Li, don't tell me you want to specialize in formations?" Song Chengzhi quickly asked.
Chu Li smiled. "That's not my ambition. Formations are just a hobby."
Song Chengzhi let out a sigh and smiled. "That's true. But it's difficult for you to enter the Formation Hall. To the Formation Hall, your identity is more important."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Formations were more important to the Outland. They would not allow an unstable factor like him to mix in. Therefore, no matter how powerful his formations were, the Formation Hall would not accept him.
But to the other sects, he was still in high demand.
"Chu Li, tell me, what do you want?" Song Chengzhi asked.
Chu Li said, "Clan Leader, I won't hold back then."
"Just tell me, we won't blink if we have something." Song Chengzhi waved his hand and said generously.
Chu Li's improvement of the formation was no different from doubling the strength of the White Dew Hall or even more. His contribution was too great. If they did not reward him well, they would not be able to make Chu Li wholeheartedly. Even the slightest bit of slacking would be a great loss.
Chu Li smiled. "What I need the most are Star Stones. It'll be great if I can get the Transformation Pill. If not, I can get an antique martial art."
"Star Stones …" Song Chengzhi nodded. "No problem. I'll give you ten Star Stones of this size!"
He clenched his fist to show that the crystals were the size of a fist.
Chu Li was full of smiles. It was indeed a rank one contribution.
Song Chengzhi said, "The Transformation Pill … It's a forbidden item."
Chu Li nodded. "I saw the Bishop of the Longevity Church using it in the lower realm. Song Wuji sent it down, right?"
"Song Wuji …" Song Chengzhi and the other two's expressions changed.
"The Longevity Church really used the Transformation Pill?" Song Chengzhi frowned.
Chu Li said, "I saw it with my own eyes. The Bishop of the Longevity Church, Song Zhifan, used the Transformation Pill to become an Enlightened Master. Then, the Heavenly Thunder and the Deva came to hunt him down. I was even implicated by him and was hit by the Deva."
"Heh, how dare Song Wuji!" Song Chengzhi sneered.
Mo Heng said, "The Thunder Pool covers the sky with one hand. It's not surprising that they would do something like this. Song Wuji has always been an unscrupulous person."
"Should we tell the Hall Leader?" Fu Tianlei asked.
Song Chengzhi thought about it and shook his head. "There's no point in telling him. Let's just pretend we don't know."
He looked at Chu Li and sighed. "The Thunder Pool is very powerful. The Rain Master Palace is far from it. It's better not to provoke Song Wuji."
Chu Li frowned. "The Thunder Pool is the first among the nine divisions?"
