Strange mountains and rivers

Inviting Gou Yiwei went more smoothly than expected.

Originally, Chen Huaisheng thought that Gou Yiwei was going to try to find some excuses, but he didn't expect that when he opened his mouth, everyone agreed. Chen Huaisheng was so happy that even Chen Huaisheng was surprised.

Gou Yiwei originally belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but after the foundation was established, he no longer belonged to the four major courtyards.

According to the sect's regulations, any foundation building will automatically separate from the four major courtyards, whether it is the Chuan Gong Yuan, the Law Enforcement Yuan or the Internal Affairs Yuan, and will be directly under the sect's newly established Elder Hall.

In other words, these people can only be recruited by order of the Presbytery.

However, with the gathering of the Nine Lotus Sects, the number of foundation-building monks in the Chonghua Sect has greatly increased, which has greatly reduced the significance of the old Chonghua Sect's original focus on promoting some disciples to attack the foundation.

For example, Gou Yiwei failed in his initial attack and fell to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Then he mustered up the courage to attack and successfully build the foundation after being persuaded by Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi. It also caused quite a shock in the Chonghua Sect and became a model for everyone to follow. role model.

But now that he is at the first level of foundation building and is a hundred years old, he seems calm, even indifferent.

Just pick any of these foundation builders from the Nine Lotus Sects and Lingyun Sect, and they are all dozens of years younger than Gou Yiwei, and many of them are at the second or third level of foundation building. Gou Yiwei's importance and significance have dropped sharply.

And Gou Yiwei himself had no intention of accepting disciples, let alone opening a cave to establish a mansion, and he still felt it was a little inconvenient.

Now that Chen Huaisheng came to invite me, it was as if I was dozing off and someone gave me a pillow, which was exactly what I wanted, so I agreed immediately.

For Chen Huaisheng and Yun Zhongshan, Gou Yiwei's true value and significance lies not in his first level of foundation building, but in his expertise in array layout and magic weapon production.

Although the key to the magic circle still lies in the investment of spiritual materials and magical weapons, the layout is still very important. The same magical weapons and spiritual materials, when planned and deployed in the hands of different people, will exert very different powers, and the difference may even be as high as Two to three percent.

Gou Yiwei is one of the top masters in the sect in this regard. Chen Huaisheng wants to set up a magic formation in Yunzhong Mountain. With Gou Yiwei at the helm and planning, he can not only save a lot on magic weapons and spiritual materials, but also have great effects. can also achieve the best.

Chen Huaisheng walked up and down Yunzhong Mountain twice with Gou Yiwei. Gou Yiwei couldn't help but frown and smacked his lips: "Huaisheng, are you really planning to build a mountain-protecting array? I mean Not that kind of small spiritual magic circle, but a real large magic circle? "

"I know that the small spiritual array does not cost much and can be built with no more than 10,000 spiritual stones. However, its coverage is too small. At most, it covers the gate of the cave and the Taoist temple, and it can only have basic early warning and It has defensive capabilities, almost no counterattack function, and is of little value..."

Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "It's not worth it."

"Huaisheng, you are wrong. This kind of small spiritual array is actually the most cost-effective. Less than ten thousand spiritual stones can cover the Taoist temple that can accommodate hundreds of people. Are you not satisfied? Originally, the spiritual array is mainly Early warning and defense functions, especially early warning, win reaction time and remind you to be prepared, which is worth thousands of dollars..."

Gou Yiwei disagreed, "Do you really think that all the monks in our mountain gate who build caves and mansions are wealthy? Anyone can just come up with tens of thousands of spiritual stones? Just such a small spiritual array. It can empty the pockets of many people. It is quite rare to build such a small spiritual array."

Chen Huaisheng smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Gou, you know that I am different from them, not to mention what do you earn this spiritual stone for? Isn't it just spent on these things? Do we have to wait for the monsters to attack us, and we are all facing being destroyed in a hurry? What's the use of holding a few bags of spiritual sand if you regret it when you're killing it? If you put good steel flowers on the blade, the spiritual stones will naturally be spent where they should be used, and the magic circle is the most worthwhile place to invest."

Gou Yiwei didn't expect Chen Huaisheng to be so free and easy.

He had the impression that Chen Huaisheng had always been tireless in grabbing spiritual stones, but he did not expect that he would be so generous in using the spiritual stones.

But it has to be said that Chen Huaisheng’s words are on point. If the spiritual stone is not used for these, where can it be used?

What's more important than human life?

"Huai Sheng, since that's the case, I won't persuade you anymore. As long as you are willing to spend the spiritual stones, the mountain protection formation in Yunzhong Mountain will not be a problem. But you have to hurry up. In addition to magical weapons, there are also many spiritual materials. It needs to be supplemented. In addition, to support long-term operation, the consumption of spiritual stone and spiritual sand is also a huge amount. You must be prepared. If the magic circle is built, but there is not enough spiritual stone and spiritual sand to support it, it will be a waste. This investment was made.”

Gou Yiwei didn't give much advice and focused on the magic circle: "The demand for spiritual materials will be relatively large. Alchemy, mithril, obsidian, and heavenly wood. These four are the key spiritual materials for the magic circle. The demand is very large. Purchase immediately. You still need some related components. As for the speaking device, it depends on what kind of mountain protection formation you plan to set up. Its attributes, counterattack strength, and focus are all particular. I will first base it on Yunzhongshan Spiritual Field and Domestication. We will come up with a design for the conditions of the fields, medicinal fields and Dongfu Taoist temple. Then we can make a decision after looking at it, and then start the construction. "

"Uncle Gou, I don't know much about this. I'm just a professional. Everything will be according to your plan." Chen Huaisheng said, "I only know that this winter and next spring, the scale of the monster tide will be unusually large, and it may be bigger than we imagined." The worst is worse, so I would rather take precautions and spend more spiritual stones, just in case..."

"Huai Sheng, you don't need to explain more. Yunzhong Mountain and Dongfu Taoist Temple are yours. Of course you value them. You decide how much you want to spend. You only need to come up with an idea and then set an upper limit for the required spiritual stones. I We can then consider plans based on your requirements.”

Gou Yiwei will not interfere with Chen Huaisheng's plan. In his opinion, Chen Huaisheng has the capital to spend money lavishly. This guy earned no less than 100,000 spiritual stones from this trip to Donghe Fish Market. What else can he use it for? Get this spiritual stone?

Rather than that, it would be better to build a mountain-protecting formation. It has been a long time since I did something so grand, so I just used it to practice my skills.

"Okay, my idea is that the best magic circle can resist the attack of third-level monsters, and can even support the attack of fourth-order monsters to a certain extent. It doesn't matter how it is laid out. Well, the spiritual stones spent can be considered between three and five. Wanling Stone,..."

Chen Huaisheng's words made Gou Yiwei couldn't help but smack his lips.

This guy is really willing to give up.

A passive defense formation, even if no one really attacks, is placed there as a decoration. Just for this year, just to run the daily repair and maintenance of this mountain protection formation, the annual spiritual stone consumption will require 20,000 to 30,000 spiritual stones. , which is the cost of a small or medium-sized mountain guarding array.

It is normal for a large mountain-protecting formation to cost two to three hundred thousand in a year, or even more spiritual stones.

Moreover, the magic circle also has a lifespan. Many spiritual materials and magic weapons have been in a state of preparation and consumption for a long time under the support of spiritual stones. Soon they will not be able to support it and will eventually become a mere formality.

Once there is a real war and it is put to use, the consumption will be even greater and incalculable.

"Limited to third-level monsters, small and medium-sized magic circles can basically do it, but for fourth-level monsters, the requirements are a bit high." Gou Yiwei walked on the cliff on the mountainside and looked into the distance, "Because The design of the magic circle cannot only be based on the ground, but also factors in the air and even underground must be considered. It also requires the placement of spiritual materials and magic weapons in the five elements. When necessary, it also needs to be excavated, which is quite complicated..."

"Can you put these spiritual talismans into the magic circle?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but ask.

Gou Yiwei nodded: "Of course, but it would be a bit of a waste to use the magic talismans on these. Of course, if you think there are too many magic talismans, or install them in some formation eyes, traps, etc. that you think may come in handy, Spiritual talismans can indeed exert unexpected effects."

Gou Yiwei did not explain that the setting of the magic talisman also needs to comply with the properties and pertinence of the magic circle. Chen Huaisheng probably didn't understand, so he asked just out of curiosity.

However, Chen Huaisheng considered that he did have many low-level spiritual talismans in his bag. As his spiritual level continued to increase, many low-level spiritual talismans were no longer needed. Some of them could be given to people like Hu Delu, Wei Wuyang, and others. He also wanted to Try to see what effect it can have if placed in a magic circle.

Going up the mountain, the two rode the wind to reach the top of Yunzhong Mountain.

It is cloudy and foggy all year round, but it seems that it is not so high in terms of height, but it may be because it is located from a mountain pass in the extreme north to the south. The clouds, mist and water vapor from the north pass by here, making the top of Yunzhong Mountain covered with fog all year round. Covered in water vapor, this is also the origin of the name Yunzhong Mountain.

"It can be regarded as an array on the top of the mountain. You don't have to invest too much, but you must maintain a certain level of early warning. Therefore, you can actually set up a three-dimensional spirit-gathering ring array here. Its function is to provide early warning, especially for attacks from the air. Monsters can feel the power of monsters about twenty miles in advance and issue warnings..."

"Twenty miles is too short. If we encounter a monster like the Moyun White Eagle, we can fly there in a few breaths. We don't even have time to react. We need to give at least thirty miles of warning in advance..." Chen Huaisheng shook his head. Shaking his head: "Is there any way to extend the detection range?"

"Yes, there is, but the cost of spiritual stones may double. You have to calculate whether the intermediate value is worth it. A large array is a combination of small and medium-sized arrays in a certain direction, and at the same time, devices and devices are deployed on some nodes. The spiritual materials are used to sense and play the role of homo-resonance..."

Gou Yiwei knew Chen Huaisheng's thoughts and ideas, and shook his head: "A perfect formation cannot be achieved. The consumption of spiritual stones can crush you to death. This is not a consumption in a day or two, but a long-term consumption. You have to do it yourself." Weigh the pros and cons and prioritize.”
