"Pass down the order to send all the lightning-type array materials in our city lord's mansion to Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao."

"Furthermore, send people to all the shops in Chongcheng and buy all the lightning-type array materials, regardless of the price!"

Upon hearing this, one of the guards hesitated and said:

"My lord, what if some shops are unwilling to sell?"

Chong Houhu's expression immediately turned serious:

"Then tell him that this is what I, Marquis Chonghouhu of the North, want. If he still refuses, then you can come back and tell me, and I will go and ask him for it!"

Are there any restrictions on quantity or grade?

Chong Houhu shook his head:

"No, but bring back all the lightning-type array materials within the Chongcheng area, regardless of grade or quantity. The more the merrier!"

...

Ao Bing looked on blankly as he watched Chong Houhu leave in a hurry with his men.

It seems that Shen Gongbao needs materials for a lightning-type formation.

But before this, he had never heard of Shen Gongbao knowing formations. Was he suddenly planning to learn formations?

However, learning formations is not as simple as just having enough materials to set them up.

Setting up an array involves a great deal of array theory, and without specialized training, it is not an easy task to get started.

Just like his Aunt Lan, whose achievements in array formations are the result of studying under an array formation master for many years.

Although Fellow Daoist Shen has good talent for cultivation, array formations are not the same as cultivation. We must not let him make a mistake that he will regret for the rest of his life.

After thinking it over, Ao Bing decided to take Ao Lan with him to go and have a look.
