Chapter 671: Chapter 254: Family Great Formation Completed, Planting Trees!_2 Master Mo spoke these words, allowing the effects of part of the “Heavy Water Suppressing Technique” to fall upon Lu Changsheng, letting him experience it firsthand. Lu Changsheng immediately felt his body sink, and when he attempted to rise into the air, it was as though he was lifting a tremendous weight, obliging him to expend far more mana to take flight. “This effect is quite good.” Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction. He knew that major marketplaces like Nine Dragons Market and Qingyun Market all had flight restrictions in place. But he had never attempted to fly in these marketplaces before. Now, the effect of his family’s “Heavy Water Suppressing Technique” seemed to share a similar remarkable principle. To know that Foundation Establishment Cultivators, under the effect of the great formation, would need to spend 20 to 30 percent more mana to fly, making it much harder for them to escape once they entered the formation. Moreover, just a single Oceanic Bead could produce such an effect. If Ling Zixiao’s health were to recover, and all thirty-six Oceanic Beads of his family were deployed, the effect of the “Heavy Water Suppressing Technique” could likely directly suppress those at Foundation Establishment. Even Nascent Soul Immortals would be somewhat affected. It was akin to leveraging the Spirit Vein to activate the Oceanic Bead as a magical treasure. “Lu Daoist, this is the current state and triple change of the great formation,” Master Mo handed the Array Plate and flags to Lu Changsheng, continuing, “If Lu Daoist has no issues, I will return to report. As for the specific details and aspects of the great formation, with Ling Daoist here, there should be no need for excessive explanation on my part.” In his speech, he looked towards Ling Zixiao with a hint of regret. Through regular interaction, he knew Ling Zixiao’s proficiency in formation was not much less than his own. However, due to health issues, Ling Zixiao’s cultivation had declined greatly, scarcely able to maintain or fully operate the great formation, which was truly regrettable. “Of course, there’s no problem, Master Mo. You have worked hard these days on arranging and repairing the great formation for my Bi Lake Mountain. It is truly laborious,” Lu Changsheng spoke as he immediately produced a prepared gift. Although Master Mo had been invited to arrange the formation through the Qingyun Token, and all the materials were provided by his own family, it was nonetheless a task that took over a year, during which he not only repaired the formation but also arranged for an Earthfire Formation to be set up in the Alchemy Chamber, Artifact Refinement Room, and Puppet Workshop, nurturing the fire vein. In such a case, it was only proper to show appreciation. Besides, it was good to be acquainted with such an Array Master and forge some connections. He then took out two more gift boxes for Master Mo’s two disciples. Even though these two were still Energy Refining Cultivators and First Grade Array Masters, they also had potential and it was good to make a favorable impression. “Lu Daoist is being too courteous. In these days of arranging the formation and exchanging insights with Ling Daoist, I have also benefited a lot,” Master Mo gladly accepted the gift without declining. “Many thanks, Lu Mountain Lord!” Seeing this, the two disciples politely accepted the gift boxes as well. “In that case, Lu Daoist, Ling Daoist, I shall take my leave,” Master Mo bowed. “Master Mo, travel safely.” Lu Changsheng opened the mountain gate and politely escorted the guests out. Afterward, Master Mo released a Spirit Boat, taking his two disciples away. “The three of you have also worked hard during this time.” Afterward, Lu Changsheng turned to the three Array Masters brought in by Lu Yuanding and spoke. He paid each of them in Spirit Stones and also gave them each two Second Rank Talismans. This wasn’t because he had money to spare, but rather because the family was currently in the construction phase, and it was important to build a good reputation on such small matters. Later, if he wanted to find people for tasks, or to invite someone or recruit Guest Elders, it would be beneficial. “Many thanks, Lu Mountain Lord!” “Lu Mountain Lord, you are too kind,” said the three, although they were Array Masters, they appeared both polite and pleasantly surprised. After all, Lu Changsheng was not only a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator and a Talisman Master but had also singlehandedly eliminated three Foundation Establishers and now also had a deep connection with Qingyun Sect. In these circumstances, they naturally hoped to ingratiate themselves with Lu Changsheng and Bi Lake Mountain. “My Bi Lake Mountain has just been built, and we are currently in desperate need of talent. If any of you have thoughts on the matter, you are welcome to serve as Guest Elders on my Bi Lake Mountain,” Lu Changsheng said after the pleasantries. Array Masters were in demand by every family, not only for the family’s great formation but also in many other places where formation was needed. Even though the skills of the three were quite ordinary, merely top-class Array Masters, they were still sufficiently qualified to serve as Guest Elders. “This…” Upon hearing this, the three wished to decline, 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞 For their level in the Formation Path, they could serve as Guest Elders for many families. “If the three of you serve as Guest Elders on my Bi Lake Mountain and contribute sufficiently, I have the Second Rank Formation Path inheritance and my own insights on the Formation Path to offer,” said Ling Zixiao indifferently. The three of them immediately looked conflicted. Over the year, they had witnessed Ling Zixiao’s level in formation, and if they could receive the Second Rank Formation Path inheritance and guidance from Ling Zixiao, perhaps their formation abilities could advance further. Eventually, two of them were tempted and expressed willingness to serve as Guest Elders on Bi Lake Mountain. Immediately, Lu Changsheng signed a Spiritual Contract with the two. The two would serve Bi Lake Villa, maintaining the family’s great formation regularly and teaching formation knowledge to the Lu Family. Lu Changsheng provided a basic compensation of sixty Spirit Stones per month, and for tasks like arranging formations, they would receive additional remuneration. After settling the matter, Lu Changsheng explained the situation of the two to Lu Miaoyun, asking her to rearrange accommodations for them at Bi Lake Villa. “Zi Xiao, does the family’s great formation require any further changes going forward?” Lu Changsheng inquired as he turned to Ling Zixiao. “Lu Lang, rest assured, the great formation’s situation is already completely secure. The only issue is that harnessing the water veins and lake water for the full operation of the formation will affect the ecology of Bi Shui Lake.”
