Chapter 310 Lin Du is really popular
It was still afternoon when the group from the Supreme Sect arrived. It was not yet completely dark, but every household had already closed their doors and even the lights were rarely on. Along the way, they saw many talismans for exorcising demons pasted on the doors, and when their consciousness fell into the doors, they could still feel the heavy physical defenses behind the doors.
The whole city was desolate in winter. No one had cleared the snow on the streets, which had gradually been compressed into a thick surface of ice. At a glance, it glowed coldly in the gray sky.
"Those who can leave have left, but in the final analysis, it is difficult to leave one's homeland. You can't escape it forever if you hide away for a while. After all, Huangshi City is the largest city in the northwest of Zhongzhou. If this place is razed to the ground, it will be even more difficult to defend the rest." The city lord received the news that the Supreme Sect was coming, and hurried out to greet them, explaining the situation as he welcomed them into the city.
Lin Du glanced over and saw that the servants brought by the city lord were all surrounded by a thick mist of seven emotions, mixed with anger, sorrow, shock and malice. The matter of the demon tide must be weighing heavily on everyone's heart.
Yan Qing took a quick step forward and said a few words on behalf of the Supreme Sect with a smile, "City Lord Dayi, now that the demonic tide is about to arrive, we would like to take a look at the defense formation first to see if we can help."
"That couldn't be better." The city lord knew that every demon tide was also a time for disciples from each sect to go down the mountain for training. However, for these disciples it was training, but for them it was a real life-and-death crisis. It was already very good that they could think of helping to strengthen the city's defenses.
It has to be the Supreme Sect.
Lin Du glanced at Qi Zhen and said, "Excuse me, several disciples of our sect are feeling a little uncomfortable riding on the flying boat. Can the city lord please find a guest room for them to rest for a while?"
"Of course, of course." The city lord said with a smile, "A courtyard has been opened long ago, and all the major sects have reserved it."
"Have the other sects arrived? I would like to have a meeting to discuss this."
"Perhaps because they are too far away, only Luoshu Sect and Wuya Sect came, and the rest are still on the way."
Lin Du nodded, "Then don't call them yet, Yan Qingyuanye Molin, follow me, senior brothers, you take the other disciples to rest."
He is the one who sticks to his word and no one dares to argue with him. He is very dignified.
The city lord looked at Lin Du again. Anything else would be fine, but she could order her senior brothers around. It was obvious that she was the backbone of the entire sect.
But if he remembered correctly, this person was the youngest among all the disciples except for the one he had never heard of, right?
Lin Du did what he said, very efficiently. After getting the defense drawings, he took a piece of paper on the spot, calculated with one hand and drew with the other, and added a few sub-arrays.
There was no planning, no consideration, and not even a new formation. Instead, the existing formation was supplemented.
It may seem cheaper, but in fact it tests the ability of the array mage very highly. The array designed by oneself may have been modified and improved for a long time in advance, and there is no need to keep up with other people's ideas or recalculate.
The city lord was filled with admiration as he watched, thinking that he was worthy of being the only disciple of the Immortal Master Yanye.
But there is still a question, "Would it be too time-consuming to add to the existing data?"
The next moment, Lin Du picked up a piece of paper and dried the ink. "It's done. The material cost is saved by 50%, and the effect is increased. The original earth-grade one-level defense array can reach at least earth-grade seven or even heaven-grade."
"Is that all?" The city lord was shocked. He thought it would take at least several days.
"Well, it's done." Lin Du walked out with the map in his hand, and handed the materials listed on half a piece of draft paper to the city lord, "Please check if you have the materials above in your warehouse. If not, I'll make up for it."
Not to mention the number of defensive formations, their supreme leader is fighting against a frugal family.
The city lord took the paper and looked at the pale green figure in front of him. Although she was dressed in tight clothes, walked with a breeze, and didn't even pay extra glances to others, in his heart, it was no exaggeration to say that this person was a god incarnate.
As soon as Lin Du left, the people from Luoshu Sect arrived. "We brought a new defense formation. We just went to measure the position in the city. We think it's feasible, so we plan to strengthen the formation."
The city lord could only explain, "Master Lin Du has already gone to improve the defense formation?"
The Luoshu Sect member seemed to be stabbed in the vitals, "Lin Du?"
"Yes, Master Lin Du," the city lord was about to explain when he saw the formation master from the Luoshu Sect rushing towards the city wall with a formation diagram in his hand.
"I don't believe it. This time, my formation was specially designed according to local conditions! Lin Du's was hastily drawn up. You have to change mine!"
City Lord:? Hmm?
The remaining young man in blue held a handful of yarrow, shook his head, turned around and walked back in a mysterious tone, "I've calculated everything. Although this time we encountered a big evil, there is an anomaly that can turn evil into good. Lin Du is here, so it must be the evil, oh no, the anomaly that can suppress evil."
The city lord consoled himself in his heart that it was okay for a disciple of a large sect to behave in a unique way.
When it was completely dark, the Lian Heng faction finally arrived, bringing with them a lot of materials for setting up the battle array. When Meng Ling heard that Lin Du had already gone, he ran to the city gate without even drinking tea, leaving the city lord dumbfounded.
The city lord once again thought to himself, since they are a big sect, it is not surprising that they act in an independent way.
Who knew that after a while, the people from the Chixiao Sect came, and one of the disciples asked, "Who from the Wushang Sect has come this time?"
The city lord answered honestly, "Master Lin Du brought..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man left in a hurry, holding the sword. After leaving the house, he turned back and popped his head out, "Where is she?"
"The city gate..."
The young man flew away, leaving a message to his disciples, "Master, I'm going to ask Lin Du for some advice! Let's see how many moves I can block now!"
City Lord: Didn't you, the Chixiao sect, organize the formation? Why did you go looking for them? Are you here to cause trouble?
When the Chongxu Sect's disciples arrived, the city lord finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that no one came up to ask about the Supreme Sect.
Who knew that when they were led into the small courtyard, the leading female cultivator asked, "I wonder if Lin Du from the Supreme Sect will come this time."
The city lord was numb and pointed at the city gate. "Master Lin Du is setting up the city wall."
Li Qing nodded, "No wonder."
She smiled and said, "I had the honor of playing against Fellow Daoist Lin in the Zhongzhou Competition before. At that time, she said that there would always be a chance for us to be teammates. I didn't expect it to come so soon."
The city lord smiled apologetically, "Yes."
This Master Lin Du is really something. He looks cold, but I didn’t expect that he has such good connections in all the major sects.
The people from the big sects haven't all arrived yet, but people from the small sects have also arrived.
Originally, the city lord did not need to receive them, but the Tongtian Sect was now ranked 19th among the sects in Zhongzhou, and they even brought some food and supplies for defending the city.
The city lord thanked them again and again. After exchanging pleasantries, the leading female cultivator asked with a smile, "I heard that the Supreme Sect has arrived?"
The city lord was already very familiar with the situation. "Yes, here we are. Master Lin Du is here too. He is setting up his troops at the north city wall."
Feast: ...There’s no need to be that detailed.
The city lord didn't know what Shengyan was thinking. When he turned around and left, he said to his son beside him, "Master Lin Du really has friends all over Zhongzhou."
"That's right. Senior Sister Du from the Jishi Sect and Senior Sister Xu from the Tiansu Sect have both asked Master Lin if he would come this time." The young man was not without envy. "He is really popular!"
Lin Du, who is very popular among his friends in Zhongzhou, is very worried.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" The formation mage of Luoshu Sect held the formation diagram and insisted that Meng Ling judge it.
"From what I've seen, your formation is feasible, but the construction speed is too slow. It will take seven days for you to build it alone. Even if there are a few more formation masters, it will probably take a whole night. The loss is huge and the cost is extremely high." Meng Ling shook his head, "Let's not cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Lin."
Lin Du felt that there was more than one person causing trouble.
"I'm busy." Lin Du placed the formation stones numbly.
"I know, so I will teach you a few moves after we finish setting up the formation. Just one move will do."
Yi Zhen followed Lin Du around, as if he was waiting for Lin Du to punch him before he would leave.
"I want to try to see if I can resist the restraint of my natural ice spirit root now that I have practiced the Scarlet Sky Sword Technique to the seventh level."
Yan Qing and Mo Lin directly pulled the noisy people away. They finally found a laborer who was suitable for digging holes and setting traps together.
Meng Ling stood aside holding Lin Du's formation diagram, intoxicated, "Did you really calculate this in an hour?"
Yuan Ye reminded, "It's less than an hour, there's still a quarter to go."
Meng Ling was shocked. "You haven't seen this defense map before?"
"Yes." Yuan Ye was puzzled. "Why, you can't do it?"
Meng Ling couldn't. After ten years of stagnation, he thought he could at least compete with Lin Du again. However, this formation was so powerful that at least the speed and thoroughness of its response calculations were far superior to his.
What's wrong with Lin Du's brain? Is this the strength of being the number one talent?
Yuan Ye was shocked: I often feel a little out of tune with the world because I am used to being surrounded by people who are all gifted.
