Chapter 185: Building a mountain protection formation. I will always remember your great kindness, Madam!
Ling Yun and Xiao Tian were responsible for burying the spirit stones in the mountain protection formation and the spirit gathering formation respectively. Since their realm had been raised by one level, their speed was much faster than last time.
Before noon, all the spirit stones were buried.
Xiao Ying was responsible for the placement and arrangement of the remaining materials, and finally took out a top-grade magic weapon as the center of the formation.
Including the one she placed in the house last time, she only had one top-grade magic weapon left in her hands. She only hoped that she would be given more when her cultivation level improved next time.
The three of them stood on the top of a mountain deep in the river. This mountain is also called the main peak, and the slightly shorter one in front is the secondary peak.
As the top-grade magic weapon gradually sank into the void, some changes suddenly appeared in this area.
The void rippled gently like water, and all the spirit stones of the two formations were activated at the same time, supporting the formations to slowly operate.
After confirming that both formations were operating correctly, Xiao Ying quickly closed the attack formation of the mountain protection formation to avoid accidentally injuring the people living at the foot of the mountain.
At the same time, the formation was adjusted to protect only the waistlines and above of the two mountains to avoid inconvenience to the people.
As a result, the people and wild animals could only move around at the foot of the mountain, and the mountainside and above became her secret territory.
The spirit gathering formation actually covered both mountains completely, and the range of spiritual energy that could be mobilized was much wider than that of the house, at least fifty miles in radius.
The house might be affected by this, but it's not a big problem.
Because the spirit gathering formation becomes stronger when it encounters stronger forces, the more spiritual energy an area has, the more it extracts, and the less impact it has on areas with poor spiritual energy.
Therefore, most of the spiritual energy extracted at that time will come from the deep mountains.
In this way, the people and crops living at the foot of the mountain can also enjoy the nourishment of spiritual energy, but the concentration is definitely the highest at the top of the mountain.
Watching her manipulate the formation with ease, Ling Yun and the other two were both excited and showed even more respect for her.
It was as if I saw a marshal sitting calmly in the central military camp, and the enemies were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
If they could still learn a thing or two about the elementary formations, then these two intermediate formations were like heavenly books.
In this world, I guess only the Madam/Master can do that.
"This spirit gathering formation will probably take about three days to stabilize. We'll then see what the spiritual energy concentration is like."
Xiao Ying was quite looking forward to it. The effect of the intermediate spirit gathering formation was better than the primary one. She estimated that the concentration at the top of the main peak would be at least 30. After all, it was around 15 now.
If we can really reach level 30, then even if the new disciples continue to practice here, their cultivation speed will be much faster than outside.
It was almost the evening when the three of them returned home.
Xiao Xing and Xiao Kun immediately came forward to report, followed by a man in his thirties with an ordinary face.
"Master, we have already bought bricks and tiles worth one hundred thousand each, and also bought a skilled craftsman, Wang Da Chong, who is good at repairing and building houses."
Wang Da Chong, who was called, trembled slightly, and immediately took two steps forward, bowing and greeting with lowered eyebrows.
"My humble self is Wang Da Chong, nice to meet the Madam."
Xiao Ying glanced at him calmly, nodded, and asked, "What is this person's background?"
Xiao Xing replied, "He is from Caojiaba, Suning Town. When he was young, he went out to learn the craft of repairing and building houses. He has only one daughter, who is already married. In order to raise medical expenses for his sick wife, he chose to sell himself."
"Because he asked for fifteen taels of silver, many owners thought it was too expensive and didn't have much use for his craftsmanship, so he stayed in the dealership for a long time without selling anything."
"I saw that his craftsmanship was good and his explanation was coherent, so I bought it back for fifteen taels of silver."
"But he made a request: he couldn't come to work without worry until his wife was healed."
Having said that, he glanced at Wang Da Chong.
Wang Da Chong immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed nervously.
"This is my only request, please grant it, Madam."
Xiao Ying asked, "What's wrong with your wife? Maybe I can help her cure it."
Just because this man was willing to sell himself to treat his wife's illness, she felt a good impression of him. He was a man of affection and righteousness.
Wang Da Chong was stunned. What did this lady say? She actually wanted to help his wife cure her illness?
His eyes suddenly turned red and he almost cried. It seemed that he had really met a good family this time.
"Thank you, Madam! The doctor said my wife is suffering from a cold, but she has taken many medicines before but they are ineffective. I really have no other choice but to raise money to take her to the county town for treatment, so I chose to sell my body."
He looked at Xiao Ying with anticipation. Does Madam really have a way to cure his wife?
"You are also a kind and righteous person. It seems that your wife has a very serious cold. I have a pill that is specially used to treat colds. I will give it to you today."
"Go back and give this to your wife. I believe it will be effective soon."
As he spoke, Xiao Ying casually took out a small pill and handed it to him, and gave him some instructions.
"This pill is quite potent. You'd better dissolve it in water and give it to her three times a day, morning, noon, and evening."
Wang Da Chong became more and more excited, his hands trembling slightly as he took the pills, his gratitude was beyond words.
"Thank you, Madam, for the medicine! Thank you, Madam, for the medicine!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed, his voice choked with sobs.
"Madam, your great kindness will be remembered by our family forever! I, Wang Da Chong, will be yours for the rest of my life!"
Xiao Ying said, "As long as you work for me with peace of mind in the future, you will gain more benefits. Xiao Xing, escort him home now and treat his wife immediately."
He was escorted by Xiao Xing, firstly to speed up the process, and secondly to see with his own eyes whether his wife was really sick.
"Yes, master." Xiao Xing agreed.
"Thank you, Madam!" Wang Da Chong also smiled gratefully.
After the two left, Xiao Kun presented two storage bags, one filled with bricks and the other with tiles.
"Well done." Xiao Ying nodded approvingly and instructed, "Tomorrow, go to the mountains and select some strong and healthy people. At least ten of them are needed. It's best if they have already completed land reclamation and planting at home and don't have much work to do."
"Pick two or three women who are good at cooking and hire them as laborers. Each will be paid 50 wen per day."
"Once Wang Da Chong is done with his affairs, I will take them into the mountains to build the sect's main hall."
"Yes, Master." Xiao Kun immediately accepted the order, then frowned slightly: "But aren't ten people enough?"
The sect's main hall must occupy a large area, but ten people would be too slow.
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "No problem. I will select some from the group of people from the Immortal Mansion when the time comes."
The planting in the fairy palace space has been completed long ago. Now all we have to do is weed and water the plants. Even fertilizing is not needed. Every household is quite free.
"I was worrying too much." Xiao Kun looked a little embarrassed.
Xiao Ying waved his hand, then thought of something: "Is today the tenth day since you accepted the mission?"
Xiao Kun and Xiao Tian beside him looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
"Master, the Dark Night Pavilion should confirm today that our assassination attempt has failed."
Xiao Ying couldn't help but reveal some anticipation. Failure was good, because the Dark Night Pavilion would then send more powerful killers, which meant that she would soon be able to gain a group of more powerful guards.
She just hoped that there would be more people this time. There was no other way, she was in dire need of experts.
