After a long eight-hour wait, Jiang Jun finally returned leisurely.

"How about it?"

Upon seeing Jiang Jun return, Jiang Yuan immediately inquired about the progress of the plan.

Jiang Jun said confidently, "With my help, success is guaranteed! However, it seems someone is trying to steal the fortune of the Nine Provinces from us!"

"Really?" Jiang Yuan was genuinely unaware of this.

"I saw a similar setup when I was setting up downstairs, but I don't know why the other side didn't get a step ahead of us!" Jiang Jun said, puzzled.

Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "Setting up the materials for attracting the flow is only the first step. The second step, absorption, and the third step, refining are the most crucial."

The fortune beneath the City of Ten Thousand Races is scattered, mostly coming from the mountains and rivers themselves. So the first step is to integrate it. Only after integrating these can you begin to absorb the fortune into your body. Finally, you can pour the fortune into the fortune container for refining.

Such chaotic energy needs to be slowly refined through an energy container, and it takes several days to separate out a stream of energy that can be absorbed.

"Let's go to the best absorption location. Maybe we'll run into someone who thinks the same way we do!" Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers and then walked directly out of the building.

"Brother, what's this operation in the middle of the night?" Jiang Jun asked worriedly, looking at the pitch-black night outside.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's better to act at night! Besides, this is the City of Ten Thousand Races, where fighting is not allowed. Everyone can use their own methods." Jiang Yuan was very open-minded. He was sure that it would be safe here, at least compared to the outside world.

Jiang Jun had no right to take the lead, so she could only go with Jiang Yuan to the best location outside to absorb the talent.

Because of the unique environment of the City of Ten Thousand Races, the best place to absorb fortune is actually at the border of various races, which is also a no-man's-land. Most of the people wandering there are alien races from other regions, and the number of humans is very small.

As soon as Jiang Yuan stepped out of the hotel, a figure slowly appeared behind him.

"Going out to have fun so late at night, looks like my character isn't very good!" The figure shook its head in exasperation, then followed closely behind.

Jiang Yuan arrived in this no-man's-land of the City of Ten Thousand Races without any prior knowledge. The place was filled with exotic customs, with people wearing animal skins and golden armor, and even some who were completely naked.

"Take a look! These are top-grade refining materials from the Cloud Flame Continent, with inherent fire attributes. Each piece costs ninety-nine. You won't regret buying them!"

"Dwarven standard longsword, now selling for twelve per sword, negotiable, bulk discounts available!"

"..."

The cacophony of vendors' calls made Jiang Yuan wonder if it was 11 p.m.

"Are these people's biological clocks out of sync?" Jiang Yuan said speechlessly. He originally thought that it would be good to do bad things under the cover of darkness at night, but it turned out that it was almost as if it wasn't dark at all.

“Brother, some races are nocturnal,” Jiang Jun quickly explained.

"How do we get started?"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look around. This area was the best place to absorb the fortune. If it were slightly off, he would not be able to absorb all the fortune under the Myriad Races City in one go. And judging from the situation of the Myriad Races City, it was definitely not feasible to try to absorb it a second time after failing the first time.

After all, all the alien races now want the fortune of the Nine Provinces, especially since China occupies one of the best locations on the entire Imperial Star, and the value of the fortune of the Nine Provinces within it is self-evident.

"Boss, how about we set up a stall, pretend to sell some things, and secretly absorb the luck from below?"

Jiang Jun offered a useful suggestion, but would simply setting up a stall be effective? It would obviously be redundant, as absorbing luck would cause significant energy fluctuations, which would certainly arouse suspicion from others.

"Now we have no choice but to give it a try!" Jiang Yuan decided not to waste any more time, but for safety, he chose a stall with an array.

The formation itself carries a huge energy fluctuation, so he can disguise the energy fluctuation of absorbing fortune as the fluctuation of the formation. Moreover, since there are not many people on the entire Imperial Star who have officially started absorbing fortune, it is difficult for him to be discovered in a short period of time.

Without further ado, Jiang Yuan spread a spirit-absorbing paper on the ground and then laid out the items needed to make the array one by one. His actions immediately attracted many people to stop and watch, because the array itself required a lot of high-grade materials, and Jiang Yuan took out a large pile without any hesitation, because only with enough quantity could the fluctuations that could conceal the absorption of luck be created.

Upon seeing this, several vendors at nearby stalls started chatting amongst themselves.

"What's that human kid doing? Is he here to sell materials too?"

"Maybe so. Humans currently control many mines and have plenty of good materials!"

"Given the current momentum of human development, they can only be guarding a treasure mountain in vain!"

"That's normal. They're locals from the battlefield. If we don't give them some benefits, they probably won't last ten years before their tribe is wiped out!"

"How about we go outside the city and stake out this human? Maybe we can rob him of a considerable sum!"

"What's the point of squatting? What if they live in the City of Ten Thousand Races for decades? Are you going to squat on them?"

Teasing remarks kept reaching Jiang Yuan's ears, but they didn't bother him. He was completely absorbed in creating the formation.

He is now a Heavenly Spirit-level array master, but his strength is based on the array pattern fragments plundered by the Hand of Death. He doesn't have many opportunities to actually use them, so this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

Jiang Yuan started by creating a Void Spirit level array, but when he began, he discovered a major advantage he had: he was a Creator.

The Creator's mastery of the elements greatly enhanced his talent in formations. In addition to doubling his comprehension of formations, his speed in setting up formations also increased several times.
