Qin Yang nodded. "Senior Hong Mang, my request is very simple. It's best if you can increase my strength by four minor levels in Asura City, and it'll only increase my strength for me alone!
"If you can't increase the strength of the entire city by four minor levels, it'll be best if you can increase the strength of the inner city by four minor levels, and lower the requirement for the outer city by three minor levels!"
Formation Emperor Hong Mang pondered for a moment, then said, "City Lord Qin, you're an alchemist, so I don't know if you have any understanding of formations. Depending on the grade of the formation, the limit of the increase is determined by that grade.
"Middle-grade formations can increase strength by one minor level, high grade formations can increase strength by two, peak grade formations can increase strength by three, and perfect grade formations can increase strength by four minor levels!"
Qin Yang smiled. "Senior Hong Mang, that's not the case for all formations, right? Legendary grade formations can increase strength by an exception!"
Formation Emperor Hong Mang also smiled.
"City Lord Qin, it's too difficult to set up a Legendary level array!"
"But you're right. Legendary grade formations can increase strength by one minor level, and early third level Creation Realm formations can increase strength to mid third level Creation Realm!"
Qin Yang nodded. He still had the right to speak in this area because he could set up legendary grade formations!
At present, Qin Yang could set up formations that were at the early stage of the second level of the God of Creation Stage. However, Qin Yang could only set up formations of this level at the perfect level. As for formations at the consummate level of the first level of the God of Creation Stage, Qin Yang could reach the legendary level.
The limit of the increase was the same, which was the early second level of Creation Realm. Thus, it wasn't appropriate for him to set up his own formation. Qin Yang's battle prowess was strong, but his knowledge of formations and alchemy still couldn't keep up!
In terms of battle prowess, he had the Primordial Fortune Pagoda and the Heaven Splitting Sword, which could increase his strength by even more!
"City Lord Qin, it seems like you still have some understanding. The Old Man is a middle third level Creation Realm formation master, and he can only set up a formation of this grade at most. Moreover, this grade of formation can only reach high grade!
"If you set up an early third level Creation Realm formation, the Old Man has a seventy percent chance of reaching peak grade in one go, and the increase can reach three minor levels. There's only a small chance of reaching perfect grade in one go, and the increase can reach four minor levels.
"If you only ask for an increase of four minor levels in the inner city, the success rate will be higher. It should be more than twenty percent!"
"Setting up a formation isn't like refining pills. If you fail, the batch of pills will definitely be gone. If the formation isn't up to standard, you can set up a new one. However, there will definitely be many things damaged in the process!"
Qin Yang said with a smile, "Senior Hong Mang, I understand. A formation of this level with high requirements will cost a lot. Senior Hong Mang, why don't you estimate how much it would cost to increase the inner city by four minor realms? "
"The limit is the early stage of the third level of the Genesis Realm!"
Even the Hong Mang Formation Emperor wouldn't be able to set up such a formation in the middle stage of the third level of the God of Creation Realm. The success rate would probably be less than one in ten thousand. Qin Yang didn't have that kind of wealth!
Formation Emperor Hong Mang said, "There's another problem, the durability of the formation. The higher the durability, the more expensive it is!"
Qin Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's make it one million years!"
"A million years later, I might have already joined a powerful force. Hehe, I just need to ensure my safety for the next million years!"
The Hong Mang Formation Emperor nodded lightly. "If you only ask for one million years, the formation will be much cheaper! About five hundred million Eternal Life Coins can be used to set up a formation that can increase the outer city by three times and the inner city by four times! "
"The entire city might need one and a half billion Eternal Life Coins. The Old Man's suggestion is to only increase the inner city by four minor realms!"
Five hundred million Eternal Life Coins wasn't a small sum!
Previously, when he traded Fairy Miao Yin and Bai Yusheng, he only received six hundred million Eternal Life Coins!
Fairy Miao Yin and Bai Yusheng were both extremely talented. Moreover, the trade back then even included a premium!
An ordinary force couldn't afford it.
Even a force like the Heavenly Slave Pavilion couldn't afford it!
Of course, the Heavenly Slave Pavilion also couldn't invite such a high-level formation master to help set up the formation. The Heavenly Slave Pavilion Master's cultivation was only at the late stage of the second level of the Genesis Realm. Now, his cultivation was only at the peak of the second level of the Genesis Realm. He was far from the Hong Mang Formation Emperor!
Even if one disregarded the cultivation of formations, the Hong Mang Formation Emperor was nearly twenty times stronger than the Heavenly Slave Pavilion Master!
If not for Leng Ningshuang's help, even if Qin Yang was the Asura City Lord and could refine legendary pills, he definitely wouldn't have such prestige. Even if he and Gong Yuli were to work together, they still wouldn't have such prestige!
"Senior Hong Mang, just increase the inner city by four minor realms. I'll have to trouble Senior Hong Mang!"
Qin Yang said with a faint smile.
He was currently at the late stage of the first level of the Genesis Realm, and his battle prowess was at the middle stage of the second level of the Genesis Realm. If the inner city could increase his battle prowess by four minor realms, his battle prowess would directly soar to the early stage of the third level of the Genesis Realm!
It would directly reach the limit of the formation's amplification!
With such strength in Asura City, Qin Yang's safety would be greatly increased. Even if an early stage or middle stage of the third level of the Genesis Realm were to ambush him, Qin Yang would have a hard time killing him.
If he encountered a powerful attack, he could immediately hide in the Asura Ancient Realm!
As for stronger experts, unless they were at the great circle of the third level of the Genesis Realm or at the Venerable Ancestor realm, it would be difficult to ambush them. This was because the city spirit could warn late stage Genesis Realm and peak Genesis Realm experts when they entered the Asura Ancient Realm!
There were very few experts at this level, and they wouldn't casually leave their own territory to enter another expert's territory.
"City Lord Qin, that Old Man is about to start!"
"The Old Man will use some of his own materials to lay down the formation. When the time comes, the cost will be calculated at the very end. If he is lucky, he might only spend two to three hundred million Eternal Life Coins. If he is unlucky, he might even spend six to seven hundred million Eternal Life Coins!"
Qin Yang nodded. This would depend on how well the Hong Mang Formation Emperor performed.
He wasn't afraid that the Hong Mang Formation Emperor would deliberately act recklessly. Even without his relationship with Leng Ningshuang, the Hong Mang Formation Emperor most likely wouldn't act recklessly. The cost of laying down the formation would affect his future business!
If the Hong Mang Formation Emperor didn't manage to finish laying down the formation after spending a billion to eight hundred million Eternal Life Coins, fewer people would hire him in the future, and his income would greatly decrease!
Time passed slowly. Qin Yang continued to treat the other experts while the Hong Mang Formation Emperor busied himself in Asura City.
The Hong Mang Formation Emperor laid down the formation under Asura City. Asura City was extremely sturdy, so the chances of the formation being destroyed by others were very small. As long as Qin Yang was in Asura City, he would receive the amplification!
Gradually, more than five hundred years passed.
The Hong Mang Formation Emperor's eyes lit up.
"Success!"
After failing once, he succeeded on the second try. It was much faster than the Hong Mang Formation Emperor had estimated. He had estimated that he would spend a thousand years and five hundred million Eternal Life Coins, but in reality, he had only spent three hundred million Eternal Life Coins!
Soon, the Hong Mang Formation Emperor inspected the formation and confirmed that there was no problem with it.
"City Lord Qin, the formation has been laid down. Come to the center of the formation and activate it!"
The Hong Mang Formation Emperor transmitted to Qin Yang.
Soon, Qin Yang arrived at the center of the formation. He imprinted his soul aura into a huge crystal at the center of the formation. Soon, Qin Yang felt his strength increase greatly!
Originally, it had only increased his strength by two small realms, but now, it had increased his strength by four small realms!
Qin Yang went to various places in Asura City and confirmed that the inner city could increase his strength by four small realms. The outer city could also increase his strength by four small realms, but the majority of the regions could only increase his strength by three small realms.
"Senior Hong Mang, many thanks."
"You've done me a great favor."
"Senior Hong Mang, may I know the total cost?"
Qin Yang invited the Hong Mang Formation Emperor to the city lord's mansion and personally poured a cup of tea for him.
Hong Mang Formation Emperor was a big shot. In the past, even Grandmist Venerable Ancestor did not have such strength. But if Grandmist Venerable Ancestor was still alive, his strength would definitely have reached the great circle of level three creation realm!
"The cost of the materials and the cost of the Old Man's work added up to a total of three hundred and fifty million!"
The Hong Mang Formation Emperor gave a discount. After all, his relationship with Han Shuang City was pretty good.
The normal fee was three hundred and sixty million!
Qin Yang directly transferred four hundred million Eternal Life Coins to Hong Mang Formation Emperor. Hong Mang Formation Emperor was startled. "City Lord Qin, there is an extra fifty million Eternal Life Coins!"
Qin Yang smiled. "Senior Hong Mang, your initial estimate was five hundred million Eternal Life Coins. Now, the four hundred million Eternal Life Coins have saved me one hundred million! Senior Hong Mang, you can keep the fifty million Eternal Life Coins at ease. Who knows, I might have to trouble you in the future. "
Hong Mang Formation Emperor looked at Qin Yang with a much more amiable gaze.
Young man, you are so sensible!
After deducting the cost of the materials, he had actually earned ten to twenty million Eternal Life Coins. Fifty million Eternal Life Coins was enough to keep him busy for quite some time.
"Young Friend Qin, this Old Man will accept the money!"
"When it comes to earning money, you alchemists are much faster, especially alchemists like you who can refine legendary level pills. The speed at which you earn money is much faster than Old Man."
"A large number of experts are queuing up to give you money!"
Hong Mang Formation Emperor chuckled.
Qin Yang smiled. "Old Hong, alchemists and array masters have their own advantages and disadvantages! If an alchemist wants to reach a high level, the cost of nurturing them is much higher than that of an array master. If the elixirs are wasted, then so be it. There are many array materials that can be reused! "
"A powerful array master can set up arrays that can be used in battle. In this aspect, an alchemist can't compare. Another point is that an array master is safer. Setting up arrays won't kill people, but refining pills can kill people."
"Once such a situation occurs, it will be extremely troublesome and even life-threatening."
Hong Mang Formation Emperor laughed. "You are right. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. Many alchemists have been killed because of eating people. Young Friend Qin, the tea is gone. Do you have any good wine and dishes to accompany this Old Man to drink? "
"Of course!"
Qin Yang hurriedly said. He was happy. It seemed that the fifty million Eternal Life Coins were not spent in vain. He and Hong Mang were obviously much closer.
