Uncle Six was originally quite confident in his ability to fight, but that is now a thing of the past.
After watching the whole process of the real person setting up the formation, he realized that he was still far from it.
"It's just some formations, not very difficult. Besides, even if you are wrong, I can correct it in time and it won't affect the subsequent formations."
Xu Chunniang glanced at him with a half-smile, "You just said that your master was unwilling to give you more spirit stones, so I have no choice but to ask you to do more work."
"All right."
Uncle Six smiled in silence, knowing that the real person said this on purpose so that he could feel at ease and boldly arrange his formation.
He took a deep breath, his expression gradually became serious, and he began to look for the first foothold.
While Sixth Uncle was setting up the formation, Xu Chunniang was not idle either.
She continued walking south until she reached the southernmost coastline of Blackfish Island, then stopped.
The entire Black Fish Island is shrouded in a huge protective formation.
Although this place is close to the sea, it is still within the range of the protective formation.
Just to activate the protective formation, the amount of spirit stones consumed is extremely huge, so this formation is in a dormant state most of the time.
Xu Chunniang's spiritual sense probed around, and as expected, she found two hidden positions nearby.
After checking these two positions, she walked around the island from the southernmost tip along the coastline, slowly and methodically checking the island's protective formation.
Seven days later, when Uncle Six had arranged the seventy-two formations, Xu Chunniang had already circled the island and carefully inspected the entire island's protective formation.
"Master, the formation has been completely arranged. But I can't guarantee whether the exact location is correct."
Uncle Six had just settled the last position and had no time to catch his breath when he saw a familiar figure and spoke with some trepidation.
"very good."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly. When she arrived, her spiritual sense had already sensed that the directions of most of the formations were correct.
Without seeing how she moved, nine positions suddenly shook violently.
Then, the spiritual objects in these formations broke out of the ground, changed positions in the air, went to different directions, and then sank into the ground again.
Uncle Six couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene. After this adjustment, the formation was obviously much more stable.
After Xu Chunniang adjusted her position, she went straight to the next step.
The second time she set up the formation, she was obviously more adept and faster.
Uncle Six stared at all this and couldn't help but breathe softly, not daring to blink, for fear of missing anything.
However, the changes between the array gates were too complicated. When the number of array gates increased to three, his face gradually turned pale and large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead due to the excessive loss of his spiritual power.
When the fourth array gate was settled, his body trembled slightly, and his whole body seemed to be pulled out of the water. He was sweating profusely, and it was obvious that he had reached his limit.
Although his spiritual awareness has been strengthened many times, it is still far inferior to that of a Jindan cultivator.
Uncle Six sighed inwardly and did not force himself to deduce the changes in the formation. Instead, he sat cross-legged and meditated to recover.
The Immortal was right. If he couldn't make a breakthrough in his cultivation, his art of formation would stop here.
However, for him, a cultivator of the seventh rank of Taoist master with four spiritual roots, it was a fantasy to form a pill.
Uncle Six sighed inwardly, remembering several younger members of the clan who had some talent in formations. The idea of wanting to break through to the Golden Core Realm flashed through his mind, but he quickly rejected it.
Forget it, he'd better keep on living like this, the family still needs him.
By the time Uncle Six had recovered some of his spirit, the Eight Gates had already decided on six parties, with only the last two left.
After finding that he could not understand the changes in the formation at all, he did not get discouraged. Instead, he took out the bone fragments, wrote down the parts he understood, and took out paper and pen to start calculating.
Time passed quietly, and six days passed before the new spirit gathering formation was completed.
At this point, Xu Chunniang had completed everything she had promised to the head of the Lin family.
Upon learning about this, the head of the Lin family, who usually did not show his emotions, said "OK" three times in a row and sent her a message on the sea order, claiming that he had taken care of all the chores and could leave the island at any time.
After receiving the news, Xu Chunniang set the date of leaving the island three days later.
There is no way. Without any skills, it will take a long time to recover.
Three days later, Xu Chunniang came out of the room and her spiritual sense saw a person standing outside the yard. It was Li Yuan.
He clenched his fingers and seemed a little nervous, wondering why he was here.
She thought for a moment, then waved her hand and used her spiritual energy to open the gate of the courtyard.
Li Yuan suddenly came back to his senses. When he saw the people in the courtyard clearly, he bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Master."
"What is it?"
Li Yuan paused and said, "I am here to express my gratitude to you. If you and my father were not acquainted, I would have had a hard time in this Lin Mansion."
After he learned that the other party was a Jindan Zhenren, he returned home the next day and learned from his parents that they and Senior Xu were just casual acquaintances.
When Dad learned that he would be able to practice under Fourth Miss Lin in the future, he insisted that it was Senior Xu who spoke well of him.
At first, Li Yuan couldn't believe that the high and mighty Jindan Zhenren would actually take him seriously.
But his father spoke so seriously that he gradually believed it.
Although he had some talent, as a person from an outsider, his life in the Lin Mansion was not easy.
If Senior Xu hadn't spoken for him, how would he have had the opportunity to practice under Fourth Miss Lin
Xu Chunniang said calmly, "Don't thank me, I didn't do anything. If you weren't diligent in your daily practice, you wouldn't have gotten this opportunity."
Li Yuan knew, however, that this was just an excuse from his senior.
There are many diligent people, but only he got this opportunity.
"I know my thanks are insignificant to my seniors, but for me, it is a life-changing event."
He looked serious and mustered up the courage to continue.
"I will always remember your kindness to me. If you need me in the future, please let me know. I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life for your help."
When Xu Chunniang heard this, she glanced at him.
"I am just a friend of your parents, and I have never said a word for you. Is it worth it for you to sacrifice your life to repay me? You gave me your life, so how can you repay your parents' kindness
I am a Jindan cultivator, and I can live to be five hundred years old; but for ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to live to be a hundred years old."
Li Yuan was stunned and stood there, unable to speak for a long time.
By the time he reacted, he was the only one left in the courtyard. Senior Xu had left without him noticing when.
A gust of wind blew, the bamboo leaves rustled, and the shadows of the bamboo on the ground swayed gracefully.
Li Yuan was silent for a while, and took out a bag of dried fish neatly wrapped in oil paper from his storage bag.
He actually forgot to give something to his predecessors as his parents asked him to.
He bit his lip, clenched the oil paper bag, and walked towards the teleportation array.
