From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS - Chapter 314
314 Chapter 314-sect protecting great array
A spirit gathering formation!
Although it was relatively rare, it was not as if others had not seen it before.
Especially the new foreign officials.
These people were all experts, Grand cultivators of the divine and divine martial realms. In any sect or force, they would have a high status.
&Nbsp; so,
With their knowledge and experience, they had also seen spirit gathering formations.
However-
The spirit gathering formations in other places rarely covered the entire sect.
…..
The vast majority of the sects.
The spirit gathering formation only covered a small hall and a courtyard.
These places.
It was the sect’s treasured land for cultivation. Every month, some disciples were allowed to enter it to cultivate, and it was not free.
Even some top sects.
He had set up a spirit gathering formation that covered the entire sect, but the concentration of the heaven and earth ling qi had only increased by a few percent at most.
Just like Yuan sect.
It could be said that the concentration of spiritual energy was unique.
Unless it was a sect that also had a formation path Grandmaster, they might be able to do this, but other sects definitely did not have the capital.
Among them.
The formation path Grandmaster had 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 hire such a person was definitely not light.
Besides …
No sect would be at ease. An array Grandmaster setting up an array in their own sect was equivalent to an invisible hidden danger. If the other party had left some hidden tricks, it would be a big problem.
Just as the others were shocked by the change in the spiritual energy in Mount Liang.
Qin shujian did not stop. Instead, he continued to carve runes in the air.
This time.
What he wanted to set up was no longer a spirit gathering formation, but a defensive formation.
A Grandmaster could inscribe a formation in the air, using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as nourishment and circulating it endlessly.
However …
If a formation could have a corresponding carrier, then the power it could exert would be stronger.
And now …
Qin shujian had used the entire Mount Liang as the foundation and carrier to connect with the veins of the earth. He then set up a huge defensive formation.
When the runes were drawn.
The earth trembled.
The entire Mount Liang seemed to have noticed a subtle change.
For such a situation.
No array master dared to spy on him anymore.
When they were carving the spirit gathering array just now, they had already exhausted their mental energy and reached their limits.
He couldn’t even see the complete spirit gathering array, let alone the next defensive array.
Time slowly passed.
Compared to the half an hour he had spent carving the spirit gathering formation, Qin shujian spent an entire day setting up the defensive formation this time.
When the last rune was cast.
On the surface.
There was no change in Mount Liang.
But in fact, with the connection of the earth veins, the essence Qi in the depths of the earth had already been drawn out. Together with the formation patterns, it transformed into a huge formation that covered the entire Liangshan.
However …
The formation concealed the void and the earth.
As long as he did not touch it, there would not 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 Grandmaster’s formation in Mount Liang. It’s enough to resist the attack of a Deva-level cultivator. These are three talisman stones that can activate the formation. If a strong enemy attacks, you can use them to activate the formation.
As he spoke, Qin shujian took out three jade stones and handed them to Zheng Fang and the other two.
“Remember, you can’t move the formation easily unless you encounter an enemy that you can’t resist.”
“We understand!”
Zheng Fang and the other two put away the Jade stone solemnly, their expressions turning grave.
Soon after.
Qin shujian gave them some instructions and let them go.
The formation that was set up within the sect was to prevent any strong enemies from attacking. After all, even though sky origin sect was a top sect, the gap in their combat strength was too great. Thus, it was necessary to set up a defensive formation.
Otherwise …
If he were to leave the sect, he would be exterminated immediately.
That would really be too funny.
The three great elders-the skill-imparting elder, the law-enforcing elder, and the mountain-guarding elder-were above the other elders. They had also gained Qin shujian’s trust. Hence, the three jade stones were given to the three of them so that they could deal with any unexpected situations.
“It’s not easy to set up a formation.” Qin shujian shook his head to himself when he felt the fatigue in his divine will.
Setting up a spirit gathering formation was still fine.
As a formation that drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it was not difficult.
The truly difficult ones.
It was the defensive formation that was set up later.
This formation …
It was comparable to the formation he had used against the six desires evil Lord.
The difference was …
The previous formation was based on twelve Dao artifacts.
The formation this time.
The mountain range was the foundation.
The two had the same effect.
To put it bluntly.
Qin shujian was still wandering around the prominent divine stage. Even though his spiritual God was powerful, there was still a limit to it. Setting up a formation like this had exhausted him quite a bit.
…..
It was also proof.
Formation path grandmasters were powerful, but they had their limits.
Unless one’s own realm could keep up.
Otherwise …
Even if one had heaven-defying means of setting up the formation, it would be difficult to continue without sufficient spiritual will to support the consumption.
The moment he rested.
He had rested for two full days.
After his spirit recovered.
Qin shujian didn’t stay idle either. He headed to a few other branches and set up a smaller spirit gathering formation as well as a corresponding defensive formation.
Even the demonic veins.
He also treated everyone equally and set up two formations on the Liger plain where the Big Green Bull was.
Although demonic veins were mainly demonic beasts.
But it was under the command of Niu Dali.
These demonic beasts had contributed a lot to Yuan sect.
Not to mention anything else.
It was quite popular as leg strength alone.
Sometimes, Qin shujian would even consider whether he should look for a few powerful demon beasts to pull the carriage so that he would look more impressive.
However, after thinking about it …
He gave up on this plan.
A normal demonic beast pulling a carriage might not be as fast as him flying through the air.
As for the powerful demonic beasts …
It wasn’t an easy task to subdue them.
More importantly …
Taming demonic beasts also required rearing. If one were to seriously consider it, there were too many troublesome things.
At this moment.
Xiao Hong had already come over.
This time.
Qin shujian met up with the other party at Chengwu Hall.
“Steward Xiao, you’ve come this time. Is there a result to the previous matter?” Qin shujian had a smile on his face as he looked at Xiao Hong.
It was fine if the other party didn’t come.
Since he was here.
He would definitely be satisfied with the result.
“I’m here for this matter as well,” Xiao Hong cupped his hands and said.
At this point.
He paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “”In order to invite sect master Qin to help, the Imperial court is willing to offer ten spirit stones, a thousand pounds of accompanying Jade, and three connate spirit items that are comparable to superior-grade spirit artifacts.
I wonder if sect leader Qin is satisfied with such a reward?”
Upon hearing this.
Qin shujian’s mind was already spinning quickly.
Ten spirit stones!
500 kilograms of accompanying Jade!
And three connate spirit items!
Such a reward could not be said to not be generous.
On the market, spiritual stones were worth ten million taels of silver for one piece, while accompanying Jade was worth a hundred thousand taels of silver for a catty, which was already worth two hundred million.
Not to mention.
The price was a price, but such an item was simply priceless on the market.
Not to mention ten million.
Even if the price was doubled.
And almost no one would sell it.
Therefore, if one were to judge it purely by its price, it would not be worthy of the status of spirit stones.
As for the three upper-grade innate spirit items …
In terms of value, it was no less than spirit stones and accompanying jade stones.
In short.
The price offered by the Imperial court this time was already very high.
Even an ordinary sect in the spirit domain might not be able to take out an item worth 500 to 600 million taels of silver.
Qin shujian also knew about this.
He had still underestimated his identity as a Grandmaster.
Such a price.
In exchange for a chance to attack.
To tell the truth.
Qin shujian even wanted to rely on this to become rich.
However, this was just a thought.
Even if he truly did not care about his face and was willing to fight for money, there were few factions that could bear such a price, not even those top sects, with the exception of the Imperial court.
Taking out so many things at once was enough to make their hearts ache.
He looked at Qin shujian’s expression.
“However, according to the Imperial court’s intentions, we can only pay half of the items in advance. The rest will take some time to prepare. It will only be given to sect leader Qin after that,” Xiao Hong said.
He would pay half of the deposit first.
When it was done, he would give the other half.
Qin shujian did not have any objections to this.
After all, it was a business worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver. Even if he paid half of the deposit first, he would not lose out at all.
Now, he had emptied out the entire Yuan sect.
If he didn’t sell his Dao artifacts, he would probably only have two to three hundred million taels of silver.
“I, Qin, have a request.”
“Please speak, sect leader Qin!”
“I need to get those three connate spirit items first.”
“Alright!” Xiao Hong did not hesitate at all. He nodded and said, “”The connate spirit item will definitely be delivered to sect leader Qin within three days.”
In any case, the conditions had already been agreed upon.
There was no problem with the other party’s choice.
When he thought of the explanation Marquis northcloud had given him, he felt more at ease.
Soon after.
“Seven days later, I will invite sect master Qin to Zong yang city. The Marquis will be waiting in the manor.”
“Alright!”
“Then this old man will take his leave first, and will come back in three days!”
“Take care, steward Xiao.”
“Farewell.”
After the matter was settled, Xiao Hong did not stay for long.
Qin shujian sent someone to send the other party off and returned.
The reason why he chose to obtain the connate spirit item first was because he considered that his current strength was insufficient. Even if he had the means of an array Grandmaster, it would be difficult for him to maintain it.
He had to solve the problem of spiritual will consumption.
The other way was to break through the current realm.
The other way was to use the karmic fire of the wisdom King to burn spiritual objects and devour the fire Lotus to increase his spiritual soul.
After obtaining the Hellfire of the wisdom King.
Qin shujian also tried to burn other things. Unfortunately, other than the demons and connate spirit items, he was unable to successfully create a fire Lotus after burning the other items.
