It took Wei Dongliu several days to finally set up the formation.
The first is the valley protection formation, which covers the entire valley. Its function is to temporarily trap the enemy and prevent them from finding their position.
By then, as long as he sits in the valley protection formation, and then pulls out the acquired five elements extinction divine light, and strikes the opposite side, even a Jindan Zhenren will be skinned alive.
The second is the passage formation, which covers the passage leading to the rock peak. Its function is to conceal the entrance and confuse the enemy so that they cannot find the entrance to the rock peak, or they may think that the rock peak is a dead end.
After setting up the formation, he began to build a house.
The style and distribution of the houses are based on the ancient Jiejiao style under the Wuzhi Islands.
The moist depression in the center near the lake is where magical flowers and herbs are grown.
The surrounding area is dotted with disciples' residences, storage rooms, medicine rooms, quiet rooms, and even prisons.
In the cultivation sects, building houses is usually done by hiring mortals. If it is a small sect that is unwilling to pay, they can only let their own disciples do it, but if there is no Taoist method of wood or earth, the cultivators can't build houses very quickly.
But if you use the Five Elements Divine Light to do it, you only need to brush it lightly to freely control the growth of wooden trunks and raise the land into a wall. It is extremely convenient.
After entering the Huafu stage, the true qi turned into condensed true essence, and the acquired five elements great extinction divine light could finally exert a minimum of power - at least it would not be like before, where the qi sea would be exhausted in just a few seconds.
After the infrastructure was built, Wei Dongliu prepared to go out and find some disciples to fill in the storefront.
Wei Dongliu's identity was not to infiltrate any sect, but to collect information about the hell.
It is definitely not enough to do it alone.
First recruit a group of disciples, and then use their social circles to expand the source channels of information as much as possible.
After leaving the valley and walking into the rock peak, Wei Dongliu was surprised to see Jiang Li'an standing in the middle of the rock peak passage with a calm expression, looking around vigilantly.
It turns out that he was trapped by a formation... Hey, why does it seem familiar?
After thinking carefully for a moment, he remembered that when he was on an isolated island overseas, Shi Liuli was also trapped by his formation in this way.
It’s just that Miss Shi was in a panic and was running around everywhere; while Witch Jiang looked calm and looked around vigilantly.
From this, we can see that Witch Jiang's experience in struggle is probably thousands of times richer than Miss Shi's.
Wei Dongliu waved his hand to release the formation, only to see Jiang Li'an looking over, his expression showing a hint of relief and... resentment?
"Fellow Daoist Wei." She quickly concealed her negative emotions and smiled sweetly again, "Was that a formation just now?"
"It's just a trivial trick." Wei Dongliu said lightly.
"I never thought that the inheritance of Tongxuan Sect actually contained knowledge of formations." Jiang Li'an said half-truthfully, "I fell into the formation silently, and I couldn't even find the slightest flaw. If Fellow Daoist Wei hadn't rescued me, I would have been slaughtered."
"The Wanfa Tongxuan Sect, since it's called this, naturally it draws on the strengths of many schools." Wei Dongliu patiently explained, "Taoism, swordsmanship, formations, and strange objects, basically I know a little about them all."
Jiang Li'an's mind moved slightly, and he thought to himself: Although Wei Dongliu has inherited the Jiejiao heritage, why does he speak in the rigid style of the Chenjiao?
We in Jiejiao don't care about "name and meaning matching", we just name it whatever sounds powerful. Who says that if you are called "Wan Fa" you must be proficient in all dharmas?
However, this thought of resentment only flashed through her mind and was quickly suppressed.
"This time I go out, I plan to recruit a few disciples back." Wei Dongliu said again.
"Recruiting disciples?" Jiang Li'an thought for a moment and said with a smile, "What kind of disciples do you plan to recruit, Brother Wei?"
"Be honest and obedient."
"What else?"
"That's all." Wei Dongliu said in surprise, "Isn't this enough?"
Jiang Li'an was also speechless. You are looking for a successor!
Even if we can't find someone with high aptitude for cultivation (after all, all the geniuses have been picked up by the big sects), at least find someone who is smart and clever!
How can one only look for someone who is honest and obedient?
"This condition is too simple." Witch Jiang covered her mouth and laughed, "Fellow Daoist Wei, go to that remote mountain village and find those skinny, dark-skinned kids who haven't had many meals. I guarantee that they will all be obedient and honest."
What she meant was that "being honest and obedient is the same as being stupid and dull." Aren't there stupid people everywhere?
Unexpectedly, Wei Dongliu nodded and said:
"I see. I'm glad to hear your advice."
In the eyes of Master Wei Dongliu, the first disciple must be honest and obedient, so that he can become his confidant.
The information obtained by other junior brothers and sisters would be summarized by him before being passed on to himself.
It is such an important position. If the person sitting here has some ulterior motives and does something that goes against one's will, the harm will be too great.
I would rather be a little stupid and a little dull, but loyalty comes first!
Jiang Li'an didn't understand his logic at all. Seeing that he still refused to speak frankly, he could only sigh and say:
"In that case, then I'll take Fellow Daoist Wei out for a walk. To the west is the ancient city of Shangdang. We often go there to collect raw materials... ahem, slip of the tongue. The main purpose is to find some mortals with quick minds to come and help practice the exercises."
"That's great. Please lead the way, Brother Jiang." Wei Dongliu didn't care at all about how this witch practiced her magic. Since she offered to help lead the way, that was the best thing that could happen.
After the two men left Shiping Mountain, they rode on their swords and flew towards Shangdang City in the west.
Shangdang in Jinzhong, formerly the ancient city of Zhao State, is now called "Luzhou" and "Lu'an Prefecture". It is a city located on the Loess Plateau.
The two men landed near the city to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, and then pretended to be ordinary people and walked into the city.
Jiang Li'an even used the "Ten Aspects Interpretation Method" to disguise her exquisite appearance into an ordinary one, causing Wei Dongliu to look at her a few more times in surprise.
Everyone in the Heavenly Demonic Sect knows how to use the Ten-Aspect Interpretation. Last time Luo Yan was in the Wuzhi Islands, he also met a female disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Sect who knew how to use the Ten-Aspect Interpretation...
"If Fellow Daoist Wei wants to recruit disciples, they must at least be able to read." Walking on the crowded street, Jiang Li'an said with a smile, "If they can't read, they won't be able to understand the Taoist scriptures. Does Fellow Daoist Wei want to teach them how to read first?"
"On the other hand, it's best if the other person is younger and has not yet formed his or her mindset, so that he or she can be easily trained. Otherwise, after training in the secular world for too long, he or she will inevitably have deep roots in the secular world, which will be detrimental to subsequent cultivation."
"Combining the two, going to some cheap private schools and looking for students from good families who are currently studying is the most suitable option."
"That's true." Wei Dongliu nodded, indicating that he agreed with Witch Jiang's judgment.
