Chapter 670: Chapter 254: Family Great Formation Completed, Planting Trees!_1 “` Time flew, and two months had passed. With the new rules of the family, all Lu Family members aged fourteen had the option to actively apply for family affairs. Although not everyone could be like Lu Xianzhi, Lu Ruyi, and Lu Quanzhen, directly in charge of a workshop. Each person was assigned spirit fields, fishing zones, shops, and other business matters. They could also choose to enter one of the three major workshops to manage certain projects or select a skill from the family to improve upon. If the family school didn’t offer the skill and you had ideas and the courage to go for it, the family would provide the relevant inheritance and some funds for you to learn through trial and error. In such circumstances, these children were filled with enthusiasm. After all, they themselves understood that at the current stage of the family, if they worked hard, they could still compete for a place. If they waited until the family continued to grow in size, with more people and talents like Lu Qingxuan and Lu Wangshu coming of age, without a special skill of their own, they would truly only be able to serve as drones at home. Moreover, even if the children were still young and ignorant, their mothers were aware that the family was in its early stages of establishment, which was precisely the opportunity for their own children. If their children demonstrated exceptional talents and abilities, they might get Lu Changsheng’s attention and cultivation. Even if their own children lacked talents, as long as they were diligent and practical, they could still gain control over part of the family’s industries, which would significantly benefit their future cultivation and family establishment. Seeing the bustling activity among the family’s children, Lu Changsheng did not continue to monitor it closely. He had delegated these affairs to Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen, Bai Feifei, and Zheng Yongwan. After all, besides the day-to-day cultivation, talisman-making, refining the Nine Treasure Jade Ruyi, and healing Ling Zixiao’s injuries, he really did not have much spare time to worry about so much. One day, Ling Zixiao informed Lu Changsheng that the Great Formation of the Bi Lake Mountain family had finally been completed after a year and two and a half months. “Has it finally been completed?” Upon hearing this news, a faint smile emerged on Lu Changsheng’s face. Since he occasionally chatted with Ling Zixiao, he was well aware of the reasons why the family’s Great Formation had taken so much time and consumed so many spirit stones to repair. Now that he had heard the Great Formation was completely refurbished, he was somewhat expectant of this new formation. Both of them left Changsheng Hall and headed to the mountain gate. Mo Shouren and others were waiting; upon seeing Lu Changsheng, they politely said, “Lu Daoist, the great formation of your esteemed family has been repaired. We are now waiting for your inspection.” “Master Mo and everyone have worked hard.” Lu Changsheng bowed in respect. Since the formation was supervised and participated throughout by Ling Zixiao, he was quite confident about its completion. However, as the Mountain Master, he still needed to inspect the formation so Mo Shouren could report back. “Hehe, Lu Daoist flatters me.” “This great formation has been almost completely overhauled based on the original Bi Shui Qing Tian Formation. Not only have the weaknesses been adjusted and reduced, upgrading it to a second-tier top-level formation, but it also has been enhanced with three layers of variations.” As the Array Master took out the Array Plate and began to explain, he demonstrated to Lu Changsheng. Instantly, the originally faint mist of Bi Lake Mountain thickened at a visible rate, turning a deep blue color. Besides the runic symbols swimming like fish, there was also a faint presence of thunder permeating the air. “This first layer of variation is named ‘Depths Water True Thunder’!” “The great formation can summon Depths Water True Thunder for attacks, with each strike comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s hit, and the strongest can summon Depths Water True Thunder comparable to a full-blown strike from a Nascent Soul Immortal!” As the Array Master spoke, his hands formed a spell, and he took out a small blue flag and waved it vigorously. “Boom!” Suddenly, the spiritual pressure of the formation surged, numerous blue thunder orbs appeared, and in the sky, dark clouds gathered, a massive azure lightning bolt fermenting, filling the air with a fearsome aura. “This Depths Water True Thunder is more suitable for large-scale attacks, right?” Lu Changsheng lifted his head and looked at the thunder brewing in the sky and commented. “Indeed, the third-tier Depths Water True Thunder consumes a lot and is only suitable for widespread attacks. If a group of enemies were to invade, and the Depths Water True Thunder fell, all would be reduced to ash.” So spoke the Array Master. Then, with his hands forming a spell, he continued to showcase and explain: “This second layer is called ‘Bi Water Current Flow’. It can manipulate the water veins of the lake, not only to wield the lake’s water against enemies but also to raise a layer of mist to obscure divine sense. As the formation rumbled to life, the thunder previously filling the air dissipated, and the calm waters of Bi Shui Lake began to surge with waves. Columns of water shot up into the sky and a veiling mist spread, making parts of the formation seem to be covered with layers of flowing water and mist.” “Using the water veins against the enemy might affect the family’s Bi Shui Lake, so I won’t demonstrate too much.” “This layer of lake water can increase the defense of the formation by about thirty percent. As for the mist, it not only boosts the defense of the formation to some extent but also has the effect of obscuring the divine sense.” “Many Array Masters use techniques like eye skills and divine sense to find the weak points in a formation and break it. With this layer of mist, it can effectively obscure and make it difficult to find flaws.” With the Array Plate in hand, the Array Master explained aloud. Lu Changsheng looked towards the area covered by the formation’s water mist and investigated with his divine sense. He discovered that his divine sense was indeed somewhat blocked, but the effect was not too significant. However, considering that the Great Formation was not operating at full power, and that his divine sense had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it seemed normal. “The third layer is called ‘Heavy Water Suppressing Technique’. Thanks to Daoist Lu’s quasi-magical treasure ‘Heavy Water Bead’, as the central piece of the formation, it creates a layered array, adding a kind of restriction effect within the formation.” “When the formation is active, ordinary Energy Refining Cultivators entering it can’t fly with treasures, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators who wish to fly will have to spend twenty to thirty percent more mana.” “`
