Chapter 153 Mid-grade spirit stones, setting up a grand formation

After the three of them discussed it, they immediately set to work. Since the great formation was still stored in the clan's treasure trove, Zhang Yuanhua went back to the clan to retrieve it.

Also, bring a few of the clan's formation masters to set up the formation.

It's impossible for those three laymen to set up a mountain-protecting formation.

"Lingyu, I'll go out and check on Xingyue first."

Since it would take the old man some time to come and go, Zhang Xingyao went outside to take a walk and look around, while Zhang Lingyu stayed behind to see if he could dig up any treasures.

"it is good."

The boy responded and summoned six flying swords, slashing back and forth in the spirit mine, seemingly searching for something.

Zhang Xingyue was already waiting outside. Seeing his cousin come out, he wiped the sweat from his brow and quickly stepped forward to ask:

"Elder, I..."

"You've probably guessed what's inside, haven't you?"

"yes..."

The man's face was bitter. Although he understood the situation, it was not something he could say aloud. So he gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, don't worry, I won't reveal a single word."

"Don't I know your character?"

Zhang Xingyao was quite confident in his cousin. Although his cultivation was not going well, he still had self-awareness when it came to matters of principle.

But there's always a chance of something going wrong.

If someone notices anything unusual here and then randomly grabs someone to search their soul after the spirit stone mining is over, then the matter of the spirit stone mine will still be exposed.

Therefore, not only him, but all the clansmen who will be responsible for mining spirit stones in the future will have to take the Forget-Me-Not Pill.

Moreover, the clansmen who mine spirit stones must be replaced every year, and then strictly supervised for another year, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Take this pill. After this is over, go back to the clan with the clan leader and the others."

"Yes."

Knowing that his family wouldn't harm him, Zhang Xingyue immediately took the pill and swallowed it. He then felt dizzy, as if something had been pulled out of his brain, and soon collapsed to the ground unconscious.

The Forget-Me-Not Pill is a mid-grade second-tier pill. Mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators have no resistance to it; one pill is enough to erase a month's worth of memories.

"Lingtai, let's find a place to settle your 29th Uncle first."

After giving this greeting, Zhang Xingyao returned to the mine and saw Zhang Lingyu still using her flying sword to mine spirit stones. He then smiled and said:

"Lingyu, what, you intend to dig out all these spirit stones by yourself?"

"Elder, you jest. I don't have such abilities."

The young man chuckled twice and explained:

"I read in the ancient books that every spirit stone mine has a chance to produce a higher-grade spirit stone. Let's see if I can dig up something."

Miniature spirit stone mines generally only produce ordinary spirit stones, but smaller ones like this one have a chance of producing mid-grade spirit stones.

If we could obtain some, using it to power the puppets or exchanging it for rare and precious materials would be excellent.

"This is not easy to find."

Zhang Xingyao shook his head and said:

"Even if it does exist, it would be deep within the spirit mine, in the place with the most abundant spiritual energy. Rock Mountain is only a first-grade high-quality spiritual vein, so even if it could produce it, it would probably only be a small amount."

"I'll hand it over to you once it's harvested."

"The Grand Elder is right..."

Zhang Lingyu thought for a while and realized that digging like this wasn't a solution. He could only wait patiently, since he wasn't in a hurry to get it anyway.

The two gathered up the scattered spirit stones and went outside to wait silently.

After waiting for nearly two more hours, Zhang Yuanhua arrived with several formation masters from his clan.

"Let's begin."

The old man didn't mince words and directly instructed, "Xingyuan, you set it up. Lingyu, the others, and a few others who know formations will assist you."

"Xingyuan understands."

Zhang Xingyuan was the most skilled array master in the Zhang family. He was inspecting the family's grand array when the old man found him in a great hurry. Before he could even ask what he wanted, he was dragged here.

As soon as they landed, they were surprised to see Zhang Lingyu and Zhang Xingyao there as well.

Although full of doubts, they didn't ask too many questions at the moment. They quickly adjusted their state with several array masters and began to explore the area around the small rock mountain.

It's important to understand that a large formation isn't set up haphazardly, especially a mountain-protecting formation like this. It requires surveying various locations and then relying on the mountain's spiritual veins to set it up.

This timeframe can range from a dozen days to several months.

Fortunately, the rocky mountain is small and there are no obstructions around it, so there is no need to protect a large area. It will only take about ten days to prepare for the construction of the large formation.

Each node of the grand formation also needs to have a base installed. The materials used for these bases are quite valuable, often requiring tens of thousands of spirit stones to complete.

If the direction of the mountain is to be considered, it will cost a considerable amount of money.

Fortunately, when they broke through Black Tiger Mountain, the Zhang family obtained a complete and intact formation. They didn't need to prepare any materials; they only needed to find the right nodes and insert them.

Zhang Lingyu and the other two watched silently as they flew around the mountain searching for a suitable node, without disturbing them, knowing that this process would continue for several more days.

"Lingyu, I see your Uncle Xingyuan has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining..."

"Elder, are you saying you want Uncle Xingyuan to reach Foundation Establishment next?"

The three remained silent, communicating telepathically. In response to Zhang Lingyu's question, Zhang Xingyao replied:

"Indeed, my family should also need a third-tier array master."

Whether in the future or now, the Zhang family urgently needs more talent. The importance of array masters is self-evident. Not to mention setting up arrays for the family, they can also earn some spirit stones by selling arrays for the family in the future.

In his mind, it wasn't just about supporting Zhang Xingyuan to become a third-tier array master, but also about cultivating all the leading figures in the family's various cultivation arts, such as Zhang Xingxuan and Zhang Xingyu.

Although they were the elites in their families, in the eyes of Yanxing County and the major powers, they were merely beginners.

Although Zhang Lingyu spends most of his time cultivating and handling clan affairs, he has never given up on improving his talisman and alchemy skills.

To date, he has become proficient in drawing low-grade third-tier spirit talismans and refining low-grade third-tier pills.

He can be considered the second third-tier alchemist in the clan after Zhang Yuanhua.

"Elder, what you said is indeed correct, but we still need to take it slowly."

Mentioning this, Zhang Lingyu also felt a great headache. The family is currently developing with all its might, and many areas still rely on the hard work of these people. If even one or two people could reach their level, they could let them go and break through.

After all, Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects are not a problem for the Zhang family now.

"You're right, I was too hasty."

Zhang Xingyao sighed, hoping that his family was still doing well. Unfortunately, the Zhang family had only unified Yingchuan County for a year, and there were still many things they needed to worry about. Once things stabilized, they could start making preparations.
