Chapter 173: Arrangement of the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Courtyard Guarding Formation
After all this trouble, it was already dawn.
In order to make everyone more energetic and to train manpower, Xiao Ying decided to use spiritual spring water in the entire house from today onwards.
After breakfast, everyone went about their business, and Kang Ruolan took the opportunity to arrange accommodation for the newcomers.
Because the six rooms in the back building were all occupied, Kang Ruolan originally planned to let Yu Yejin and Miao Guihua live in the rooms of He Chunyu and her sister and her and Zhu Qiao respectively, so that one room would be free.
But Xiao Ying felt it was too troublesome. Since there were still two empty rooms, he let the five people live there first, and Ling Yun moved out instead.
He and Xiao Tian lived in one room, while Xiao Xing and the other four warriors lived in another room. This way, Ling Yun didn't have to avoid Shi Li and Yu Yezhou every night.
Xiao Ying also arranged work for these five people, so he couldn't just keep them around for nothing.
Xiao Tian will temporarily follow her to practice, while Xiao Xing and Xiao Jian take turns following Chen Xinghai to look after the workshop to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
Xiao Kun and Xiao De took turns going to the mountains with Chen Xingyue, with the main purpose of looking after and monitoring the people who were reclaiming the land.
Those who were not on a mission that day would practice martial arts on their own or teach servants like Kang Ruolan.
When there are enough people in the future, Xiao Ying plans to arrange for Chen Xingyun and Chen Xinghe as well. But there is no need for that now, as the two of them are able to handle daily problems with their own strength.
The wages were as she had said before, two taels of silver per person per month, and the five guards were very satisfied.
Xiao Ying also raised Ling Yun’s salary to two taels, it couldn’t be less than the newcomer’s.
"Do you two know how to set up a formation?"
When only Ling Yun and Xiao Tian were left, Xiao Ying asked.
What happened last night reminded her that this house was not safe.
If a large protective formation could be built, Xiao Tian and his men would not be able to break in.
They both shook their heads, but their expressions were different.
Ling Yun had no expression on his face, and had no relevant memories in his mind at all.
Xiao Tianze was a little stunned. Formation? Not only did he not know it, even those masters at the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Refining might not know it. These things were the core secrets of the Xiuxian family.
"Master, do you want to set up a formation?"
He asked in astonishment, could it be that the master even knows how to set up formations?
Xiao Ying didn't seem surprised and said slowly, "I want to set up two formations. One is a spirit gathering formation that can gather all the spiritual energy within a radius of ten miles."
"The other is a courtyard protection formation, which combines both offensive and defensive formations."
"If there had been a protective formation last night, you wouldn't have been able to get in."
Xiao Tian suddenly took a breath of cold air. The master actually knew how to set up a formation! And he started with two types.
He remembered that his master had given Xiao Xing and the other three a few detoxification pills last night, which meant that his master was very likely to be able to make pills!
His heart was filled with emotion and his eyes were burning with passion. What on earth couldn't his master do?
"Ma'am, how can we help you?"
Compared to him, Ling Yun seemed much calmer.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian immediately stared at Xiao Ying with a burning gaze. Did the master want them to help? Wasn't he afraid that they might steal his knowledge?
"Well, I need you to help me bury the spirit stones." Xiao Ying nodded approvingly: "You should also learn it well, maybe it will be useful in the future."
Xiao Tian swallowed his saliva helplessly and couldn't help asking, "Madam, are you going to teach us something so important?"
Although a master-servant contract was signed, this kind of thing would usually only be passed down to direct disciples, right? Were they truly qualified to learn it?
Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Tian with a smile. She hadn't realized before that this guy was actually quite active.
"They are just two elementary formations. You may not be able to learn the truly profound formations even if you want to."
The meaning of this sentence was too profound. Xiao Tian opened his mouth, becoming more and more curious about her origins, but he didn't dare to ask.
Next, Xiao Ying asked someone to bring paper and pen, and first drew the structures of the two formations on the paper.
"What you have to do is bury the spirit stone in a specific location, at least one meter deep, and don't let anyone else see it."
"Yes, Madam/Master!"
The two of them obeyed in unison. The Madam/Master taught them such important things. If they leaked it out, wouldn't they be worse than pigs and dogs?
Then Xiao Ying took out seventy-two spirit stones and handed them to them. The two formations required thirty-six each.
Ling Yun had practiced with spirit stones before and was no stranger to this, but Xiao Tian was shocked again. He found himself a little numb.
The master actually has the legendary spirit stones, and he gave out dozens of them casually, not seeming to feel sorry at all.
If those people from the immortal cultivation families knew about this, I wonder what they would think.
As far as he knew, this thing was in short supply and very valuable even among the immortal cultivation families.
He secretly clenched his fists, thinking that he had made an absolutely correct decision last night!
It was after noon when the two of them finished burying all the spirit stones, and Xiao Ying secretly buried some other necessary materials.
The last step was to activate the formation, which required a magic weapon as the center of the formation. Xiao Ying used a top-grade magic weapon without any regrets.
The moment the formation was formed, Ling Yun, Xiao Tian, Xue Lang and others all keenly felt that something was different.
Watching the top-grade magic weapon gradually disappear into the void, Xiao Tian was so excited that he wanted to shout out loud.
He never thought that he would have the chance to see this scene in his life. He actually participated in setting up two formations himself!
Ling Yun, who was always calm, also smiled faintly, but was a little shocked inside.
"On weekdays, I will turn off the attack formation to avoid accidental injuries, and the defense formation will always be turned on."
As Xiao Ying spoke, he handed out pieces of green jade slips to everyone.
"My powers are contained within these. With them, you can open the formation and enter and exit freely. Remember to keep them safe. If lost, you must report it immediately."
"Yes, Madam/Madam/Master!"
Everyone responded with a serious expression, feeling that the objects in their hands were extremely heavy.
Xiao Ying added, "It will take another day or two for the spirit gathering formation to stabilize. By then, the concentration of spiritual energy in the house should be higher."
Everyone couldn't help but look expectant, especially those who had never entered the Immortal Palace. They were all curious about what it would feel like to be surrounded by rich spiritual energy.
"Mom, I've seen you busy these past two days, and there's something I haven't told you yet."
After entering the Immortal Palace that night, Chen Xinghai suddenly reported with a hint of smile in his eyes.
This time, there was another person named Xiao Tian who came in. Upon hearing what he said, he immediately took a few steps back.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ying asked puzzledly.
Chen Xinghai smiled and said, "That's good news. It's about spicy sesame oil. The 60,000 kilograms of goods signed this time have all been completed. We're just waiting to send the last batch tomorrow, which means the contract has been completed ahead of schedule."
"I thought about it and wondered if I should go there myself this time too."
Maybe we can get another big order.
"So that's what it is."
Xiao Ying suddenly realized that she had not paid much attention to the workshop during this period and had indeed forgotten about it.
"Okay, I'll go there myself tomorrow."
She raised the corners of her lips and a smile appeared in her eyes.
This time, we should be able to sign a long-term contract.
