In the side hall of the Union of Artificers, when Yi Tian mentioned that he wanted to withdraw some precious materials to set up the array, the expressions of the three people were all confused.
As his opponent, Li Chi had originally been sitting on the sidelines, watching from the sidelines. However, when the topic of withdrawing precious materials was mentioned, his expression suddenly changed several times. Yi Tian took in all of his expressions and understood his concerns.
It was just that the materials in the warehouse of the Union of Artificers would not all be controlled by him at this moment. With a competitor, they could only withdraw some of the key materials according to the quota. They could not be as extravagant as before.
Pei Yuexiao's expression was the most relaxed. It seemed that he was just a user and did not care about setting up the array. In his eyes, as long as he could set up the Seven Star Gathering Array, it was fine. He did not have to think about anything else.
As for the one with the most awkward expression, Chen Haoran was still the one who had mentioned it. He probably did not calculate the actual consumption of precious materials needed to set up the array. Therefore, under Li Chi's control, they had withdrawn quite a lot from the warehouse of the branch. Now that another person had come to withdraw precious materials, the consumption would most likely exceed the budget by a lot.
Yi Tian knew that the person in charge here was still Chen Haoran. Without his approval, no one could withdraw anything from the warehouse of the Union. However, with Li Chi as an example, he seemed to have become a little hesitant about what to do.
Thinking of this, his heart tightened. He knew that he had to make a breakthrough in this matter from him. Then, he smiled and said, "Actually, I have calculated this time. The new array does not need to be like the original array. It can be reduced to 70% of its original size. Therefore, the consumption of precious materials only needs to be half of the original amount. "
This sentence made everyone present look suspicious, especially Chen Haoran. Nothing could be seen on his face, but he was struggling hard in his heart. After all, spending a small amount of precious materials could achieve the same goal. Presumably, Yi Tian's plan would be more rational and feasible.
However, he didn't know what kind of effect this would have. If the formation was reduced to seventy percent of its original size, then the effect of the formation would be greatly reduced.
Before Chen Haoran could say anything, Li Chi coldly snorted and said, "Brother Yi's thinking is a bit too optimistic. If the array formation is 70% of the original, then the effect will be reduced by at least 30%. Even if we succeed in setting up the formation and fail to meet Elder Chen's requirements, wouldn't that be a waste of materials? "
Knowing that Li Chi was trying to find a loophole in his words, Yi Tian wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he said calmly, "It would be a waste if the formation couldn't be set up after spending a huge amount of money."
His words brought up the topic that Li Chi was most reluctant to mention, and at the same time, he reminded the two of them. He had a seventy percent chance of success. Compared to spending a huge amount of money to repair the formation without any results, it was obvious which was more important.
In the blink of an eye, he swept his gaze over Li Chi, only to see that Li Chi had been forced to swallow his words. Then, he continued, "Actually, I've made some calculations. Although the scale of the newly laid formation is a little smaller than the original one, the amount of treasured materials required is much less than the normal one. Furthermore, I've discovered that some of the components are very replaceable, and can be replaced with the current materials. In addition, I can reduce the effect by twenty percent at most. This way, I believe it should be enough for Elder Chen. "
These words made Chen Haoran and Pei Yuexiao's eyes light up. This suggestion was indeed very tempting. Moreover, they had already agreed on it. Chen Haoran wanted to bet on both sides, but he didn't want to give them face. Therefore, there was no reason to refuse.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Haoran decided on the spot. "Alright, Brother Yi's suggestion coincides with mine. Also, it's suitable for the current situation of the branch's warehouse."
Then, he took the token from his waist and handed it over. "Then you can go to the warehouse and choose some precious materials. Remember, you can only choose five Earth-grade precious materials. Human grade precious materials are limited to twenty. As for the rest, it's easy to decide. "
Li Chi, who was sitting to the side, wanted to say something but stopped. However, when he saw Chen Haoran's expression, he made up his mind and didn't dare to interfere.
After Yi Tian took the jade token, he said, "This time, I want to take a group of cultivators from the Union of Artificers to help set up the formation."
"You can choose any Yuanying disciples. The number is limited to thirty. You can choose at most five Huashen disciples. The time limit is ten years." Chen Haoran added a time limit at the end.
Yi Tian shook his head and said, "I only want Yuanying disciples. As for the security, I will ask Division Chief Hong to borrow the elites of the Inspection Department to help."
After speaking, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Li Chi. However, he saw a flash of embarrassment on Li Chi's face, and he immediately pretended as if nothing had happened.
These words just now were said to him. Last time, the Qingyuan secretly messed with him. They found some rogue cultivators outside to chase after him. This time, he borrowed the manpower of the Inspection Department in the name of Hong Fei. If the Qingyuan still sent people to mess with him, then they didn't put the official forces of Luoxia City in their eyes.
This move was also to remind Li Chi that he shouldn't play dirty. Everyone should let go of their hands and compete with their own abilities.
After saying goodbye to Chen Haoran a little later, Yi Tian directly took his order and went to the main hall to find the logistics deacon to pick the precious materials in the warehouse. However, these people of the Union of Artificers didn't look good, but they didn't dare to go against their superior's orders. They could only bite the bullet and accompany him to the warehouse.
After going around, Yi Tian saw what it meant to be rich. The warehouse of the Union of Artificers alone was more than any secret treasure he had seen before. This time, Chen Haoran also gave him a limit, but the materials he originally envisioned for the formation were mainly Human-level precious materials.
However, it would be a waste if he didn't take them. He could keep these Earth-level precious materials for his own use. Thinking that the Taiyuan Sword in his hand still had the potential to be strengthened, plus he promised Xi Tianying that he would refine a decent sword for him.
Therefore, he didn't hold back. After scanning all the Earth-level precious materials on the shelf, he instantly chose four raw ores, which were the Peacock Stone, Blue Essence, Diamond Diamond, and Unsullied Stone.
After carefully taking these four raw ores, he and the deacon boarded the plane and put them into the storage ring. After a while, he found some dirty scales in a corner. There were as many as six or seven pieces, each about one foot in size and three inches thick.
Judging from the aura emitted from them, they should be peeled off from an adult dragon. There were a few bloodstains on them, which had already dried and showed a dark red color.
After looking at them, Yi Tian directly pointed at them and said, "This is the fifth one."
The deacon in charge of recording just nodded his head symbolically, and then wrote seven pieces of fossil on the jade book. Yi Tian was overjoyed. He guessed that they didn't know the origin of these things and just left them here for nothing.
These dragon scales looked dirty, but they were just stained with dragon blood. He would take them back and refine them into a dragon scale shield. This kind of spiritual tool was much stronger than the rhinoceros leather armor he was wearing now.
