Chapter 574: Setting up the Seven Stars Array

Chi Shuyan took a taxi to the villa and placed the jade tokens in position according to the Seven Stars Array.

Chi Shuyan was afraid that these dozen or so level 1 magic weapons weren’t powerful enough and couldn’t compare with spirit stones, so she poured in a lot of spiritual energy and upgraded all of them to elementary level 3 magic weapons before she stopped.

She buried the dozen or so level 3 magic weapons in various positions in the villa’s courtyard; anyone who set foot in the villa with ill intentions would be done for.

Chi Shuyan circulated her spiritual energy and began to form the relatively simple seals for the elementary Seven Stars Array. It didn’t require much spiritual energy, and she gave a low shout. “Rise!”

Pillars of light shot up from where the jade tokens were buried, and overlapped to form the Seven Stars Array. With a buzz, more than a dozen pillars of light soared into the sky, and only after a few minutes did the golden light gradually disappear.

When the barrier was set up, many Celestial Masters and ancient martial arts families sensed the dense fluctuations of spiritual energy; it was just that they disappeared too quickly.

As soon as they mobilized, the spiritual energy fluctuations immediately disappeared, so fast that they thought they were imagining things.

At that moment in the Jing family, when the family head, Jing Zhennan, discovered that the genius alchemist had never gone back to their auction house again to sell pills, he was very anxious.

He had thought that given such favorable terms, the Jing family could use that extraordinary genius alchemist. Who would have thought that as soon as he tasted the sweetness, Qian Zhengde told him that the alchemist never sold pills at the Jing family’s auction house again.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t tasted this sweetness, but Jing Zhennan had taken the level 3 Energy Recovery Pill refined by that alchemist, so he naturally knew its true effect. There was no comparison: this level 3 Energy Recovery Pill was on a completely different level than the level 3 Energy Recovery Pill refined by the Jing family; he had to admit that it was worlds apart.

Not only did the level 3 Energy Recovery Pill have no impurities, the spiritual energy it contained was dozens of times richer than in other Energy Recovery Pills; it even allowed him to directly advance after years of countless internal injuries and lack of progress.

How could Jing Zhennan not be anxious and annoyed?

Now, as long as the alchemist agreed to refine pills for the Jing family, he would agree to any unfavorable conditions without hesitation; he could even worship her as his ancestor.

Thinking this, Jing Zhennan instructed Qian Zhengde, “Continue to investigate the whereabouts of that alchemist until you find her. Also, regardless of whether the young lady herself is the alchemist or it’s someone behind her, as soon as you find her, let me know immediately. No matter what, you must win over that young lady.”

Back then, Qian Zhengde had also been confident that the young lady would agree to the favorable terms offered by the Jing family after thinking about it for a few days. Who would have thought that after this period of time, she would disappear and never come back?

Back then, Qian Zhengde had been afraid of offending this young lady and the person behind her, so he naturally hadn’t asked for her address. However, she disappeared, and even if the Jing family had some power, looking for her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. When Qian Zhengde heard the Jing family head’s words, he immediately said, “Yes, sir!”

He made up his mind that the next time he saw that young lady, he would first worship her as his ancestor. Even if he couldn’t convince her to continue selling her medicinal pills with them, he would still ask for her address.

It would be easier to get in touch with her if he had her address, right?

“This matter must be kept secret and no one else is allowed to know!” Ever since Jing Zhennan advanced, many reclusive families had come to investigate.

“Yes, sir!”
