Chapter 441: Thank You
Uncle Six was originally quite confident in the ding dao, but that was already a thing of the past.
After observing the whole process of a real person’s formation, he realized that he was still far from it.
“It’s just some formations, it’s not that difficult. Besides, even if you’re wrong, I’ll be able to correct it in time and it won’t affect the subsequent formations.”
Xu Chuniang glanced at him with a wry smile, “You just said that your family head refused to pay more spirit stones, so I’ll just have to let you do more work.”
“Alright.”
Sixth Uncle smiled dumbly, knowing that the real person had said this on purpose so that he would feel free to boldly go and arrange his feet in formation.
He took a deep breath and his expression gradually became serious as he began to search for the first formation footing.
While Uncle Six was arranging the formation, Xu Chuniang was not idle either.
She took a step and continued traveling south, only stopping short when she reached the southernmost coastline of Blackfish Island.
The entire Blackfish Island was shrouded under a huge protective formation.
Although this place was close to the sea, it was still within the range of the protective formation.
Just open the protective formation, the spirit stone consumed is extremely huge, so this formation most of the time, are in a dormant state.
Xu Chuniang’s divine sense probed in all directions, and not surprisingly, found two hidden formation feet in the surrounding area.
After checking these two formation feet, she walked along the coastline from the southernmost tip around the island, slowly and methodically checking the island’s protective formations.
By the time Uncle Six had lined up the seventy-two formation feet seven days later, Xu Chuniang had already circled around the island and scrutinized the entire island’s protective grand formation.
“Makoto, the formation feet have all been lined up. It’s just that I can’t guarantee if the exact location is accurate or not.”
Uncle Six had just finalized the last formation foot, and before he had a chance to take a breath, he saw a familiar figure and opened his mouth with some apprehension.
“Very well.”
Xu Chuniang nodded slightly, when she came, her divine sense had already sensed that most of the formation feet were in the right orientation.
Without seeing how she moved, nine of the formation feet suddenly shook violently.
Immediately, the spirits in these feet broke out of the ground and shifted in the air, heading in different directions and disappearing into the earth again.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Six couldn’t help but widen his eyes. After this adjustment, the formation was obviously much more stable.
After Xu Chuniang adjusted the foot of the formation, she went straight to the next step.
The second time she set up the formation, she was clearly more comfortable with it, and a bit faster in terms of speed.
As Uncle Six stared at all this, he couldn’t help but soften his breathing, not daring to blink for fear of missing half a point.
However, the changes between the formation gates were too complicated, and when the number of formation gates increased to three, his face gradually turned pale due to the excessive loss of his divine sense, and large drops of sweat seeped out from his forehead.
And when the fourth square array door settled, his body trembled slightly, his whole body looked like it had been fished out of the water, sweat-slicked, obviously at its limit.
Although his divine sense had been strengthened many times, it was still far inferior to a Jindan cultivator.
Uncle Six sighed in his heart, and instead of forcing himself to deduce the changes in the formation, he sat down on his knees to meditate and recover.
The True Lord was right, if he was not allowed to make a breakthrough in his cultivation, his formation path would stop here.
It was just that he was a fourth spirit root cultivator of the seventh grade dao platform, and wanting to form a dan was tantamount to a pie in the sky.
Uncle Six sighed in his heart, remembering the several juniors in his clan who had some talent in formations, the idea of wanting to impact the Jindan realm flickered in his mind and was quickly dismissed by him.
It’s just, it’s better to continue to keep this old life to live on, the clan still needs him.
After the sixth uncle recovered some of his spirit, the eight gates had been finalized for six parties, and only the last two parties remained.
After realizing that he couldn’t understand the changes in the formation at all, he wasn’t discouraged, but took out the bone chips to write down the parts he understood, and took out a pen and paper to start calculating. Time passed silently, and by the time this new Spirit Gathering Formation was completed, it was already six days later.
At this point, the things Xu Chuniang had promised the Lin family head had already been completed.
When the Lin family head, who had always been indifferent to anger and joy, learned of this, he said three “good” words in a row, and sent her a message on the Sea Traveling Order, claiming that he had already taken care of all the miscellaneous affairs, and was ready to leave the island at any time.
Xu Chuniang received the message and set the date of departure for three days later.
It couldn’t be helped that the lack of techniques made it so slow to recover.
Three days later, Xu Chuniang came out of her room, and her divine sense swept to find a person standing outside the courtyard, and it was actually Li Yuan.
He clutched his fingers and looked as if he was a little nervous, somehow appearing here.
After a moment’s thought, she waved her hand to dust open the courtyard gate with her aura.
Li Yuan abruptly returned to his senses, and when he saw the person in the courtyard, he hurriedly bent down to salute, “Greetings to the True Lord.”
“What is it?”
Li Yuan paused, “Seniors are here to say thank you to seniors, if it is not the real person and my father’s acquaintance, seniors in this Lin Fu, is bound to be difficult.”
After he learned that the other party was a Jindan real person, he went back home on the second day, and learned from his parents that they were no more than casual acquaintances with senior Xu.
After his father learned that he would be able to follow Fourth Miss Lin’s cultivation in the future, he balked at the idea that it was Elder Xu who had spoken favorably for him.
Li Yuan was a bit disbelieving at first, that a towering Jindan Realist would actually put him in his sights.
However, he slowly came to believe it as Dad spoke with great conviction.
Although he had some talent, as a foreigner, his days in the Lin House were actually not good.
If it wasn’t for Elder Xu speaking up for him, how would he have had the opportunity to follow Fourth Miss Lin’s cultivation?
Xu Chuniang spoke faintly, ”There’s no need to thank me, I didn’t do anything. If it wasn’t for the fact that you have a few moments of diligence in your weekday cultivation, you wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity.”
Li Yuan, however, knew that this was just the senior’s excuse.
There were many diligent people, but only he got this opportunity.
“I know that my word of thanks is not worth mentioning to senior, but this is a life-changing event for me.”
He looked serious and gathered his courage to continue.
“The kindness that senior has shown me will always be in my heart and I will not dare to forget it. If senior has any use for me in the future, please feel free to ask, even if it means taking my life.”
Only after Xu Chuniang heard these words did she glance at him.
“I’ve only had some friendship with your parents, and I’ve never even spoken a word for you, so is it worth taking your life in return? You gave your life to me, and what will you use to repay the favor of your parents?
I am a Jindan cultivator, enjoying a life span of five hundred; but it is not easy for a mortal to live to be a hundred years old.”
Li Yuan froze, frozen in place, unable to speak for a long time.
When he reacted, he was the only one left in the courtyard, Senior Xu did not know when, had drifted away.
A gust of wind blew, bamboo leaves rustling, the bamboo shadow on the ground also swaying.
Li Yuan some silence, from the storage bag turned out a packet, was neatly wrapped in oil paper small dried fish.
Father and mother instructed him to pass on to the seniors of the things, he actually forgot to give.
He bit his lip, gripped the oil paper bag tightly, and pulled his leg towards the direction of the transmission array.
