Chapter 184 Arrogant Master Hu
The head of the Qi family was stunned for a moment, then he took the contract as if he was disappointed, and said to the others embarrassedly: "I... I owe a favor to the Taiqiong Sect, and with my son's relationship, it would be easy for people to criticize me if I don't cooperate with them. Please forgive me."
Qi Haoran rolled his eyes. "You make it sound like you've suffered a great loss. If you're being so reluctant, why don't you just not sign it?"
"Humph, since Patriarch Qi is not willing to stand with the three of us, just say it directly. I just hope you won't regret it later."
The head of the Bai family was very dissatisfied. As the head of the four major families today, the head of the Qi family did not think about how to gain more benefits for the four major families. Instead, he surrendered to a small sect. He was really a hopeless case. The head of the Qi family should be replaced.
After signing, Patriarch Qi threw the contract to his son, glared at his son for sabotaging him, and then said to Patriarch Bai and the other two with a cold face, "It's not that I don't want to stand together with the three of you. It's just that everyone has made different choices. Why force it? As for regretting, that's impossible. Since I've made the choice, I accept any consequences."
After saying that, he turned around and left, pulling Qi Haoran who was standing aside.
Looking at the backs of the father and son leaving, the head of the Zhu family chuckled and said to the others, "Actually, this is a good thing. If the Qi family can stay with Zhong Ling'er, it will be good for us. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to place spies there."
Patriarch Bai regained his smile and bowed to Master Hu, saying, "Then I'll have to ask Master Hu to help me with the formation."
Master Hu said calmly, "Don't worry, my two disciples will be here soon. Their qualifications are no worse than Zhong Ling'er's. It's easy for a sixth-grade formation master to set up a fifth-grade formation."
The head of the Yuan family was hesitant. Although 30% was a bit more profitable, he was willing to pay if it could reduce the casualties of his family members. Moreover, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that cooperating with the Taiqiong Sect would be safer. But now he had been made an accomplice by the heads of the Bai and Zhu families, and he didn't know how to say no.
"Well... my Yuan family has a lot of refining materials. It would be more cost-effective if I could take more credit for the formation base. I won't accompany you two here."
The head of the Yuan family found an excuse, turned around and left in a hurry, not daring to even look at those two green faces.
"Why are you so angry? If he doesn't join us, aren't there still many sects that haven't signed a contract with Taiqiong Zhong?"
Master Hu's eyes turned cold. It seemed that he had been in seclusion for many years and the world had forgotten about him, a ninth-grade formation master. He wanted to see who was more powerful, him or that little girl who was a fifth-grade formation master.
Bai Jiayan and Zhu Jiazhu looked at each other and immediately knew what to do next.
Zhong Ling'er ignored what happened next and began to reinforce the formation. She spent the whole day with ten Mahayana monks setting up the formation base around the formation.
This is a very boring task, and it really tests one's character. It's like answering a test paper. You have to solve each question carefully, then answer the questions, and finally check them out. After you finish the paper, you have to check it again. If there are no problems, you have to hand it in. If you can get 100 points, then you have passed the paper. But if there is a wrong question, you have to redo the paper until you get full marks.
What is torturous is that there are papers one after another, not for an hour or a day, but for a month without interruption. In the end, it is no longer a test of knowledge, but a test of perseverance, mentality, and daily accumulation. If you fail in one item, you can easily go crazy.
During this period, Master Hu also walked along the formation. He had seen this formation a thousand years ago. To be honest, he had been looking at it for almost a year and still didn't understand it. Finally, he realized that the formation set up by the gods was beyond the ability of a cultivator like him who had not ascended to become an immortal to understand. It was already very impressive that he could repair it.
Watching it again, he found that the formation had some changes. The light of the formation pattern was brighter, and the formation was also more complicated. He had to admit that the formation was more solid, but it was only from being precarious to not being able to be broken by a poke like paper. The effect of this reinforcement was really limited.
"Master Hu, now that there are no gaps in this formation, it is indeed more solid than before, right?"
Facing Tianming Zhenren's question, Master Hu smiled with a hint of sarcasm, "Sturdy? A ragged piece of clothing, even if it is patched up, cannot be compared with a new piece of clothing. It is just more decent than a piece of clothing with holes all over it. It is flashy and useless."
Zhenren Tianming breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it was useless. Zhong Ling'er had gone to so much trouble to refine the formation base and invite Mahayana monks. If people knew afterwards that what she had done was in vain, the Taiqiong Sect would be overthrown by the angry monks.
Patriarch Bai was concerned about another matter. "Master Hu, maybe you can understand the long-distance teleportation array?"
"Before I came here, I went to see the long-distance teleportation array. I can understand the formation part. Zhong Ling'er's idea is very clever, but it is just an extension of the ordinary teleportation array. A sixth or seventh-grade formation master can set it up. It's just that Zhong Ling'er is very strong in understanding the way of space. I am not as good as her in this aspect."
Master Hu had an embarrassed look on his face. He believed that no one in the world of immortal cultivation could surpass him in terms of formation. He also had great attainments in understanding other techniques. But when it came to space techniques, no matter how hard he tried to learn, he could only understand the basics. No matter how deep he went into it, he could not understand anything.
Therefore, only Zhong Ling'er could set up the long-distance teleportation formation, and he could not meet the request of the head of the Bai family to set up the formation.
"Well, every inch has its own merits. Zhong Ling'er just took advantage of her better understanding of the way of space. Other aspects are not worth mentioning."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the head of the Zhu family tried to smooth things over. The few people laughed, and the head of the Bai family asked again: "Master Hu, do you understand the principle of the formation disk?"
Master Hu glared at him in dissatisfaction, "That's a magic weapon, you should ask the weapon repairman."
The head of the Bai family felt sad, so he asked the weapon cultivator. The weapon cultivator said that the outer disk was just a shell, and the formation inside was the key, so he came to ask you!
The head of the Zhu family also felt a little bitter. He thought that Master Hu was so powerful. You couldn't crack any of Zhong Ling'er's unique formations. Then you said that you could set up Zhong Ling'er's demon-sealing formation with just one look. This is very mysterious. I don't know if it will be too late for me to sign the contract now.
The more they talked here, the more awkward it became, but the discussion outside was very lively.
Now most of the people have come to the outside of the Shenyu battlefield. There are not many people guarding in front of Taiqiong Realm, and most of them are independent cultivators. Therefore, people speak without restraint.
"Junior Sister is so thoughtful. She has deployed hundreds of clairvoyants in this area, allowing us to recognize all the great masters in the world of immortal cultivation!"
