Chapter 21: Finding a Different Way Although according to the description in the book, Wan...
Although according to the description in the book, there is a high possibility that the formation plates purchased by Wan Moxiao include the Yin-Yang Formation.
But she didn't forget that this was the world of cultivation, where fate was everything, and opportunities could really run away.
Although the book-crossing girl stole her original body, she still hoped that the book-crossing girl could successfully rob the heroine and the female supporting role of their opportunities, because that meant that the plot could be changed.
The more chaotic the plot line is, the more advantageous it is for her as a cannon fodder. It means that she has the opportunity to break the shackles of fate instead of being swept up and unable to resist.
Xu Hui's heart also began to lift, wondering who would win the Liangyi Formation.
Not far away, Zhong Xinyue clearly noticed the abnormality of the formation plate, and with a look of joy on her face, she planned to pay for it.
At this time, a hand reached out and snatched the formation plate. It was Zhong Lingyue.
She smiled and said, "Sister, I like this formation plate. Can you give it to me?"
Zhong Xinyue frowned, "But this is the one I liked first."
"Oh, can't you just give me some space? Every time, my sister picks first, and I can only pick up what she doesn't want. This is just a Qi Refining Stage formation plate, and you won't give me some space?" Zhong Lingyue said half unruly and half complainingly.
Zhong Xinyue remained silent, feeling reluctant.
She had a strong premonition about the formation plate and knew it must be a good thing.
But this cousin had been against her in every way since someone had known her situation for a while, and she often talked about how she had been injured, causing the Zhong family to lose the marriage with the Wei family and the loss of a large amount of resources.
They said openly and secretly that she had caused the Zhong family to suffer huge losses and that she had lost many cultivation resources, and that everything was her fault.
This made it difficult for her to refuse Zhong Lingyue's various reasonable and unreasonable requests, otherwise others would think that she was selfish and completely disregarded sisterhood.
Zhong Xinyue pursed her lips, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.
Zhong Lingyue didn't care what she thought and said directly to the stall owner, "I'll pay 20,000 spirit stones, sell it to me."
"This..." The stall owner looked at Zhong Xinyue, and seeing that she just had a stern face and didn't say anything, he nodded quickly.
A hint of pride flashed in Zhong Lingyue's eyes. She immediately put the formation plate into the storage bag and gave Zhong Xinyue a provocative look.
Zhong Xinyue lowered her eyes and suppressed all her thoughts in her heart.
"Senior, I have other formation plates here, and they all have the same functions. Would you like to take a look?" The stall owner made a lot of money and was very happy. He quickly put out a few more formation plates and greeted Zhong Xinyue with a smile.
It’s the same formation as before!
Xu Hui and Wan Moxiao's mouths twitched at the same time. Zhong Lingyue's expression froze, and she looked at the stall owner unhappily. Seeing this, Zhong Xinyue's mood suddenly brightened, and she stepped forward with a smile, "Then I'll choose another one."
"I want all of these," Zhong Lingyue's face changed and she said coldly.
"Ah?" The stall owner was dumbfounded. "But, this spirit gathering array can only be used one at a time."
"Why do you care how I use it?" Zhong Lingyue said impatiently, "I just like it, so what? I'll buy it no matter how much it costs!"
The stall owner was in a dilemma and looked at Zhong Xinyue, "How about you choose first, and I'll give you the rest..."
"Why do I always have to choose what she doesn't want? Give me all of these!" Zhong Lingyue exploded as soon as she heard the word 'choose first'. She snatched the formation plates directly, threw down tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, and looked at Zhong Xinyue provocatively.
The stall owner looked at the spirit stones, feeling very embarrassed as he didn't know whether to accept them or not.
On the contrary, Zhong Xinyue smiled slowly, "Since my sister likes it, why not give it to you? Oh, by the way, I have some things I want to buy. I wonder if you have enough spirit stones. If not, I can lend it to you, as long as you return it on time."
"You!" Zhong Lingyue's face immediately turned black and she turned and left.
After she left, Zhong Xinyue's smile faded. She lowered her head with a lonely look, and acted out the role of a poor sister bullied by her unruly younger sister vividly and pitifully.
Everyone around looked at her with sympathy, offered words of comfort, and at the same time accused Zhong Lingyue of being ignorant.
Wan Moxiao's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the great, righteous, kind and generous heroine in the story was not a little white flower, but a black-hearted lotus.
Of course, this is just her opinion. In the eyes of others, this scene is extremely pitiful.
And this other person is the male protagonist Mu Yuan!
Yes, for some reason, Mu Yuan also came to this path. Maybe it was the law of attraction between the male and female protagonists?
In short, after seeing what just happened, he felt that the supporting actress Zhong Lingyue was too aggressive.
It was a favor for the Wei family to give resources out of gratitude for saving his life. Now that the favor has been repaid, it is normal for them to stop giving. Zhong Xinyue cannot be blamed.
It wasn't her fault that she was attacked and nearly died; on the contrary, she was still a victim.
How could Zhong Lingyue blame others for the loss of resources due to her sister's rescue? She can't be blamed for not dying. Her heart is really cold.
This made the balance in his heart tilt towards Zhong Xinyue, but that was all.
Zhong Xinyue now has not yet grown to the dazzling level that he can't take his eyes off.
But after all, he was a new subordinate of his, and it would be difficult for him to turn a blind eye if he was wronged.
He stepped forward and took out a formation disk from his storage ring. "This is a top-grade spirit gathering formation I refined. It can absorb 80% of the spiritual energy, just shy of double. It can be used until the Golden Core stage. I give it to you as a gift for joining my team."
Zhong Xinyue's eyes flashed with surprise, "Young Master, I didn't expect to meet you here."
After she finished speaking, she pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her eyes. "No merit, no reward. I can't take your things. It's just a joke between sisters. She was throwing a tantrum at me. There are plenty of array plates. I'll just buy another one."
Mu Yuan is the kind of iceberg-like male protagonist with a cold expression, but to those he likes, his tone is quite gentle, "Take it, everyone has a gift."
"Well, okay," Zhong Xinyue smiled shyly at him, a blush flashing across her pretty face.
Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked away, nodded to Lei Xiao who was not far away, and left with his men. The direction they were heading was the Wei family’s residence.
He was supposed to be looking for Wei Mubai and passed by here, but he didn't expect to see the supporting female character making things difficult for the female lead.
Watching the much-anticipated male protagonist leave, Xu Hui blinked her eyes. It seems that the original female protagonist was more skilled in this round!
Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw Zhong Xinyue raising a satisfied smile and leaving leisurely.
Wan Moxiao was as shocked as she was. Thinking of the Yin-Yang Formation, he couldn't wait to pull Lei Xiao away.
At present, the heroine lost the Liangyi Formation, received subsidies from the hero Mu Yuan, and obtained the same useful Spirit Gathering Formation as in the early stage, which is not a big deal.
As for whether the Liangyi Formation is in her hands or in the hands of the female supporting character Zhong Lingyue, she needs to go back and verify it by dropping blood.
After everyone had left, Xu Hui leisurely came out and walked to the stall selling formation plates. "I say, you brothers are quite courageous. You actually dared to deceive Miss Wan and the two inner disciples of the Mu family."
The stall owner's smile froze, "I don't understand what you are talking about, senior."
"Hehe, you use the formation plate you made yourself, pretending it's a relic of your ancestors and asking for a high price. Aren't you afraid that they will realize it and take revenge?" Xu Hui raised her eyebrows to scare him.
The stall owner smiled flatteringly, "Senior, please stop joking. How could I dare to do that?"
Having said that, he secretly rubbed his hands to organize the items, planning to put them all into the storage bag with a wave of his hand and run away immediately.
"I advise you not to think about just leaving. Do you really think you can rest easy once you leave here? You have provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked. Aren't you afraid of retaliation?" Xu Hui said slowly.
The stall owner's expression froze and he turned and ran away.
However, Xu Hui was well prepared. He cast a talisman to freeze the man in place and slowly picked up the things on the stall. Sure enough, they were all worthless things. No wonder he chose to run away.
"What on earth do you want to do, senior? This is just a small business. The effect of the formation is exactly as I described. I really didn't lie," the stall owner said with a sad face.
Seeing that he was still determined to get over it, Xu Hui took out the jade token of his Wei family identity and waved it, "You dare to cheat on my Wei family's territory? You'd better come back with me and accept your punishment, or else the matter will be exposed. The female monk you deceived will chop you up and feed you to the fish. She is not a good person."
The stall owner's expression kept changing and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
"I have just recorded what you and that stall owner did, so don't even think about escaping. Do you think you can escape the Wei family's pursuit?" Xu Hui said jokingly.
It’s over. The stall owner realized that there was really no escape this time.
"Okay," he agreed reluctantly. If he lied, he would at most be punished, but if he really ran away, he would have to hide for the rest of his life.
The power of the aristocratic family is beyond imagination, and they have many means. If they want to find someone, it is not easy, but it is almost not difficult.
Seeing that he had figured it out, Xu Hui released him and asked him to call another stall owner back.
Obviously, they are brothers from the same family, and they set up stalls separately on purpose in order to sell more items.
Those spirit gathering arrays were imitated and refined by them, deliberately made to look simple and old-fashioned, pretending that they were passed down from their ancestors so that they could sell them at a high price.
The real ancestral relics were mixed in with them, and no one knew who they sold them to. Maybe they had been sold long ago. Anyway, it was just an ordinary formation plate with a nice name.
But Xu Hui knew that the Liangyi Formation should be in the hands of one of Wan Moxiao and Zhong Lingyue, so she didn't know who would be the final winner.
Although according to the description in the book, Wan Moxiao is more likely, but the two brothers' things were mixed together and were randomly packed separately in the morning, so Zhong Lingyue might have a chance to get it.
What's more, judging from Zhong Xinyue's performance, she should be sensitive to the treasure.
In this case, everyone is possible except Zhong Xinyue.
Xu Hui hopes it is Wan Moxiao!
He took the two of them and went straight to see Wei Mubai.
Wei Mubai was refining an elixir when he saw her come in with two low-level cultivators. "What's wrong?"
Xu Hui took out the array plate that the two brothers had refined, and said, "Look at the technique used to refine this weapon. Isn't it particularly ingenious?"
Wei Mubai observed it carefully for a while, "Not bad, it flows smoothly and can change its functions at will. I think the technique is quite good."
"Those spiritual plants grow in different environments. It's too troublesome for me to use hand gestures to change the planting environment every time. If I use the formation method and customize the formation plate according to the environment suitable for them, can I plant them outside the spiritual field space?"
In this way, some spiritual plants can be mass-produced.
Domestication can be about making spiritual plants adapt to the environment, or making the environment adapt to the spiritual plants. As long as the conditions are right, why can't mass production be achieved?
Wei Mubai was surprised, "So you want them to refine the array according to the requirements of the spiritual plants?"
Xu Hui's eyebrows curved, "Is it not good?"
She won't join in the fight between the heroine and the supporting actress for the opportunity, but she can snatch people away!
What could be more practical than a person who can continuously make array plates?
With those array plates, we can mass-produce spiritual plants, and then mass-produce elixirs. Just think about the huge profit margins here, hiss—
My mouth is watering. Here comes the chance to get rich overnight!
