Strange mountains and rivers

Chen Huaisheng certainly knew this.

The more powerful the formation is, the greater the amount of spiritual stone and spiritual sand it consumes to maintain its operation.

You may be able to save money on a daily basis, but when you realize that the situation is not good, you will not dare to save this spiritual stone, and you will have to pay a price.

"Uncle Gou, some things can be saved, but I still can't save this one. Can it be made into an additive mode? There is no need to activate high-level detection on a daily basis, but the detection capability can be improved immediately when needed..."

Chen Huaisheng's idea made Gou Yiwei think for a moment, "Yes, but the investment in this Sanding Spirit Gathering Ring Array will be larger, but it is indeed more cost-effective."

Now, when it is relatively safe, you can use the daily mode instead of the high-energy-consuming mode, but once you find that the tide of monsters begins to appear on a large scale, you will switch to the wartime mode.

Gou Yiwei is worthy of being the number one expert in formation design and magic weapon production within the Chonghua Sect. His formation design can basically meet Chen Huaisheng's requirements.

For example, detection capabilities, as well as defense and counterattack capabilities in key locations, as well as ambush capabilities in some key and sensitive locations, are all laid out according to Chen Huaisheng's suggestions.

Of course the investment is huge.

According to Chen Huaisheng's idea, the Taoist temple and the cave are the last line of defense and the highlight. Not only must the protection be tight, but they must also have strong attack capabilities, especially the ability to cooperate with the attacks of the people in the mountain. This needs to be simple and easy, and at the same time, it must be based on the background. In the case of attacking the enemy, there are many combinations of options to achieve the best attack effect.

Chen Huaisheng specifically proposed how the mountain should respond with all its strength if the intruder is a fourth-level monster. At least it must be able to counterattack with the formation. Even if it cannot kill the opponent, it must make the opponent feel hurt. In other words, the risk outweighs the gains and losses, only in this way can we be considered successful.

If it is really a few fourth-level monsters attacking, then there is nothing anyone can do, just find a way to escape.

There is also the placement of ambush points.

This request also made Gou Yiwei a little confused.

"There is no way, we can't cover everything, but we must rely on the terrain to kill the intruders to the maximum extent." Chen Huaisheng pointed to a pass and said.

"Although it's a little far here, if the intruder comes from the north, it's almost impossible to avoid this path. And if I have a warning sign at the front, if a friend comes to visit, I will definitely make a sound in advance. If he comes uninvited , I’m sorry, it’s basically an enemy and not a friend. In this environment, I think it’s a good deal to give them a fatal blow in a relaxed state that they didn’t expect at all,..."

Gou Yiwei pondered: "But if it's a passerby..."

"Who would come here for no reason?" Chen Huaisheng retorted: "Well, even if he is a passerby, I have a reminder on the front end. He still doesn't know whether to live or die. Who can blame him? This is the border of Yunzhong Mountain and it belongs to me. Control the scope. I have the right to set up any traps and secret sentries within this scope. If anyone comes from the sect, they will be notified in advance. Besides, you should understand what I mean. This kind of ambush is mainly aimed at monsters. Only They will ignore or simply not understand the warning..."

I have to admit that Chen Huaisheng was very considerate and meticulous. Gou Yiwei nodded slightly, "If that's the case, I have nothing to say. But with your arrangement like this, there are more than ten ambush points in the east, west, south, and north. Is it necessary?"

"It is absolutely necessary. Some are not the best, but once used, the risk pressure in the mountain can be reduced." Chen Huaisheng said firmly: "I would rather spend more spiritual stones than regret it later. The spiritual stones can be used again." Earn it, but you can’t get it back if you lose your life.”

"Haha, you have the final say on how to produce spiritual stones, but I have to tell you, if you calculate it this way, it will cost you 50,000 spiritual stones. It is estimated to be more than 60,000. In addition, if you want to do it, you need to go out and buy spiritual materials immediately. Even the Sun family in Baita City may not be able to satisfy them, and they have to go to Youzhou or Zhaigu Road..."

Gou Yiwei didn't care, and was even willing. Firstly, he could practice his skills, and secondly, Yunzhongshan's defensive capabilities would be enhanced, which was also a good thing for him who planned to live in Yunzhongshan.

"It's up to you to arrange everything. I'll ask Zhao Liangkui to follow you." Chen Huaisheng said.

Gou Yiwei was slightly startled, "You plan to let this boy named Zhao come and learn the formation from me?"

Chen Huaisheng nodded, "This was proposed by Liang Kui himself. He is currently blocked from entering the spiritual realm and cannot find a suitable breakthrough point. The layout of the formation can not only broaden his horizons and ideas, but it is also a magic art..."

Gou Yiwei curled his lips: "That boy is a little stupid. Why have you been grinding around me for the past two days? It turned out to be your idea."

"Liang Kui is not stupid. At most, his talent is average. But if his horizons and ideas are opened, he may not be able to make breakthroughs. Having an unyielding spiritual heart is the most important." Chen Huaisheng said with a smile: "You also fall and rise again. , can we build the foundation?”

Seeing that Gou Yiwei remained silent, Chen Huaisheng knew that the other party had accepted his suggestion.

This is also a helpless move.

Zhao Liangkui cannot be said to have dull qualifications, but he is too ordinary. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for him to build a foundation. But now that he has come to Yunzhongshan, Chen Huaisheng's bottom line for him is to build a foundation. As for how many levels of foundation building he can achieve, it depends on him. Hard work and good fortune.

But so what if we build a foundation?

If he stagnates at the early stage of foundation building, in the future everyone on Yunzhongshan's side will gain momentum, and I'm afraid he will also fall behind.

Therefore, Chen Huaisheng took a fancy to Gou Yiwei's formation skills and asked Zhao Liangkui to get started first. Even if his spiritual realm practice falls behind in the future, the formation can be considered as a way to make up for it.

As the master of a mountain, Chen Huaisheng had to consider these issues in advance.

If he were to choose disciples to enter the mountain now, he would definitely have higher requirements for qualifications and endowments. Not to mention Zhao Liangkui, Sanderling, and Wei Wuyang, even if they were better, such as Hu Delu and Shu Zidan, he would not accept them.

Since you have accepted them, you have to be responsible for them and set up a special cultivation path for them. If you fall behind, it would be irresponsible.

I didn't think so before, but the number of people in the mountain increased day by day, the consumption increased day by day, but the strength did not increase. Facing the attack of monsters, this pressure forced him to consider the future more.

Chen Huaisheng does not plan to recruit new people into the mountain now, but if he really wants to recruit, at least the qualifications and endowments cannot be lower than Ling Fan and Xu Beihuai. This is the bottom line.

Such a huge investment in building a mountain protection array still caused some discussion in the mountain, because not only is it a huge investment, it is necessary to go to Baita City, Youzhou, and Zhaigudao to buy various spiritual materials. Even Fang Baoliu, who has always felt that it is necessary to set up a magic array, thinks that the array is too big.

"Huaisheng, this way, we will have almost no savings in the mountain." Fang Baoliu reminded tactfully: "You spent a lot in Bianjing. Originally, I thought that the amount we brought back would be enough for our needs in the next two years, but after such a toss, it is completely insufficient."

"Baolu, this is not called tossing. If we don't do this, we may not be able to survive this winter and next spring, or we can only completely give up Yunzhong Mountain and go to Longlinyuan to hide, but instead of that, it is better to spend these spiritual stones, maybe we can survive."

Chen Huaisheng didn't expect Fang Baoliu to become such a calculating housekeeper.

But this is a good thing. If you spend money on such a big stall as you like, I'm afraid it won't take a few days before you have to plan how to do business like the Donghe Fish Market again.

"So do you plan to go to Baita City in person?" Fang Baoliu asked hesitantly, "What about Yuelun Mountain? Do you plan to go there in one trip? Or should I go with you?"

Chen Huaisheng looked at Fang Baoliu with a little surprise: "Baoliu, why are you thinking about going out? You should stay in the mountain."

"I won't go to Tianxinggou, can I get some gains in Yuelun Mountain?" Fang Baoliu shook his head: "I should also go out to experience. You said that the eighth level of Qi Refining is a stage that is neither up nor down. It is best to reach the peak of Qi Refining. I also think that if the monster tide is too rampant this winter and next spring, at least the ninth level of Qi Refining will be more confident. Yuelun Mountain may be the best opportunity for experience. Chi Mei can also stay in the mountain here."

Chen Huaisheng laughed. It should be that Xuan Chi Mei's trip to Yuntan Valley has stimulated Fang Baoliu a little.

Although the two of them are harmonious on the surface, they are both unwilling to admit defeat in their bones.

Fang Baoliu didn't care much about other people, but he was unwilling to give in to Xuan Chimei.

Chen Huaisheng felt this deeply, even when he mentioned Xuan Chimei on the bed, but Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei had never been husband and wife.

"Also, Master Wu and Master Gou have come into the mountain, and we feel much more at ease here. Master Gou has to go out to purchase, but Master Wu can actually go to Yuelun Mountain with you, so it's better to be prepared." Fang Baoliu continued: "First, gather the necessary supplies in the mountain, and then talk about other things."

When he mentioned it to Wu Tianen, Wu Tianen hesitated for a while, but still agreed.

In the past, Wu Tianen would definitely not want to go, thinking it was a loss of face.

He was alone in the sect, and the monthly salary alone was almost enough, and he was a deacon before, and his status was there, so he didn't like to go out hunting and making a living.

But now the situation is different. There are 30 or 40 foundation-building people in the sect, and he, who is at the third level of foundation-building, can no longer be ranked. Without a position, he doesn't have so many concerns.

In addition, he also knows that his practice from the first level to the third level of foundation-building was relatively smooth, but he lacked experience in the past few years. If he wants to cross the fourth level of foundation-building and become a middle-level foundation-building person, he may have to experience some experience, otherwise it will be difficult.

Because of this, Yuelun Mountain is a good opportunity. The strength of the Dayu Village on Hanshan Road is average, so it's just right for them to learn from each other and gain something by the way.
