Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 114, Liu Xuanyi, Xuanhuang Liujia Yibing Formation
"Yun Sheng greets Steward Liu..."

In the newly built courtyard of the Mu family's guesthouse, a clear spring flows, lotus flowers are green, and red carp swim in twos and threes in the clear pond.

Mu Yunsheng entered the courtyard and greeted Liu Jiangyue, who had just arrived. Besides Liu Jiangyue, there was also Shui Lin'er, who had come to greet them.

There is another woman.

Judging from her appearance, this woman is about the same age as Zhao Meiyu and Bi Lianyue, with a cool and ethereal air.

"Sit down. This courtyard is quite nicely built. It is elegant and quiet, subtly embodying the principles of water and dryness, gathering a gentle breeze without attracting mosquitoes or ants."

Liu Jiangyue nodded and invited Mu Yunsheng to sit down in the pavilion while they admired the lotus flowers and watched the fish.

"Yes." Mu Yunsheng stood up and said with a smile to Shui Lin'er, who was pouring him some cool tea, "Little Lin'er, leave this to Brother Yunsheng. Go and see how your Senior Sister Meiyu and the others are doing."

“Well then, Xiao Lin’er won’t disturb Brother Yun Sheng and Steward Liu’s discussion any longer.” Shui Lin’er replied, a smile on her face as she bowed to Liu Jiang Yue and the aloof and ethereal woman before turning and leaving the courtyard.

"Young Yun Sheng, this is the spirit contract that I have already written. Take a look and see if there are any modifications needed. If there are no problems, then sign it with my granddaughter."

After Shui Lin'er left, Liu Jiangyue took out a pre-written spirit contract and handed it to Mu Yunsheng. He then led the aloof and ethereal woman beside him and introduced her.

"My granddaughter, Liu Xuanyi."

"Yes, Steward Liu, Yun Sheng greets Senior Xuan Yi." Mu Yun Sheng bowed and replied, feeling a little puzzled as he did not see any spirit array masters from the Liu family. Nevertheless, he still bowed to Liu Xuan Yi as well.

However, Liu Xuanyi glanced at Mu Yunsheng with her cold eyes, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Mu Yunsheng didn't pay any attention and picked up the spirit contract written by Liu Jiangyue to examine it carefully.

After tea time.

"Manager Liu, Yun Sheng has no requests for modification. We can sign the spirit contract." Mu Yun Sheng said to Liu Jiang Yue after carefully reading the spirit contract.

The various provisions in the spiritual pact are no different from what Liu Jiangyue said three days ago.

"Alright." A smile appeared on Liu Jiangyue's aged face. He turned to Liu Xuanyi beside him and said, "Xuanyi and Yun Sheng, sign a spirit contract."

Liu Xuanyi looked at Mu Yunsheng with her clear, cold eyes again, and said in a calm and ethereal voice, "The Xuanhuang Six Jia Yi Bing Formation is something I made for my grandfather to protect himself."

Mu Yunsheng was stunned, somewhat unaware of Liu Xuanyi's intention. Was Liu Xuanyi refusing to sign a spirit contract with him and not intending to sell him the Xuanhuang Six Jia Yi Soldier Formation?

However, after only a moment of stunned silence, Mu Yunsheng was suddenly shocked and looked at Liu Xuanyi, who was about the same age as Zhao Meiyu and the others, with his pupils shrinking.

She is a spirit array master and can refine a first-tier mid-grade magic array, the Xuanhuang Six Jia Yi Soldier Array. Liu Xuanyi is at least a first-tier mid-grade spirit array master.

“Xuanyi, didn’t Grandpa already tell you before we came? Grandpa is in the Jade Void Spirit Field all day long. Who can hurt Grandpa?”

Liu Jiangyue looked at Liu Xuanyi with affection, his aged face beaming with a gentle smile as he spoke to her.

"I did not agree," Liu Xuanyi said, looking at Liu Jiangyue, her tone still cold and indifferent.

"Manager Liu, since Senior Xuanyi is unwilling, let's discuss this matter again."

Mu Yunsheng, listening to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, frowned slightly and said, pushing the spirit contract on the stone table toward Liu Jiangyue.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that he still really wanted the Xuanhuang Liujia Yibing Formation.

Liu Jiangyue waved his hand, refusing to accept the spirit contract. He still looked at Liu Xuanyi with a smile on his face and spoke softly.

“Xuanyi, as you can see, Grandpa has already made arrangements with Yunsheng. We’ve even finalized the spirit contract. You know that Grandpa sells Qingyun Spirit Rice and does business with integrity.”

“Xuanyi, you don’t want Grandpa to break his promise, do you?”

Liu Xuanyi's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. She looked at Liu Jiangyue, then at Mu Yunsheng. Her originally clear and ethereal eyes became troubled. After a long while, she opened her lips and said.

“When I get back, I will make another protective array for Grandpa. Grandpa can no longer sell it. Xuan Yi already has enough resources to cultivate the path of spirit arrays.”

After speaking, Liu Xuanyi stretched out her slender hand, which had skin as smooth as frost, and forced out a drop of blood to sign the spiritual contract with a mark that carried the aura of her soul.

"Ha~ha~ I won't sell it anymore, I won't sell it anymore, Grandpa won't sell it next time." Liu Jiangyue replied with a happy laugh as he saw Liu Xuanyi sign the spirit contract.

He can't find anyone to sell magic arrays right now. Although magic arrays are quite expensive, they are consumable spiritual items, unlike elixirs and talismans.

Rather, like ritual implements, they can be used for a long time and even passed down through generations.

Furthermore, since the selling price of magic arrays is quite high, the cultivator forces in Qian Yuan Prefecture who can afford and are willing to purchase magic arrays for protecting mountains have already done so.

Most of the cultivator factions that did not purchase the mountain-protecting formation will not purchase it either.

Therefore, Liu Jiangyue's sales channels for selling magic arrays were actually not very large.

"Hahaha~ Yun Sheng, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and sign the spirit contract." Liu Jiangyue laughed heartily, turned to look at Mu Yun Sheng, and said with a smile, pushing the spirit contract back in front of him.

"Yes, Steward Liu." Mu Yunsheng looked at the spirit contract in front of him, and was pleasantly surprised. He did not refuse, and also used his true essence to force out a drop of blood, signing a mark containing the aura of his soul on the spirit contract.

The spiritual contract was thus completed, containing the soul imprints of Mu Yun Sheng and Liu Xuan Yi, which were difficult to alter.

When the two are close, one of them holds this spiritual contract and can find the other person based on the aura of the divine soul imprint left in the contract.

If Mu Yun Sheng or Liu Xuan Yi were to die, the aura of the divine soul imprint left in the spiritual contract would also dissipate.

"Grandpa said that you need me to connect the Xuanhuang Liujia Yibing Formation with the spiritual vein of your family's sacred land. I need to investigate the situation of the spiritual vein first."

"Then, based on the distribution of the spiritual veins, we will set up the Xuanhuang Liujia Yibing Formation. This will take about five days."

"According to the rules of spirit array masters in the cultivation world, you need to pay me spirit stones for these five days to cover my cultivation needs."

Liu Xuanyi's clear, cold eyes watched as Mu Yunsheng finished signing the spirit contract, and then she uttered icy words from her pearly white lips.

"Manager Liu, didn't you say it would be free?" Mu Yunsheng asked Liu Jiangyue with wide eyes, his handsome face showing surprise.

Although Liu Xuanyi didn't say how many spirit stones she would be paid each day for the next five days, it was easy to tell that it wouldn't be a small amount, since it was for hiring at least a mid-grade first-level spirit array master.

"Free! Free! Yun Sheng, what's the rush? With your Mu family's meager resources, do you think my Xuan Yi will suffer?"

Liu Jiangyue hurriedly said, seeing Mu Yunsheng's anxious expression, he quickly took back the signed spiritual contract on the stone table, as if afraid that Mu Yunsheng would destroy it in a fit of anger.

Then his expression calmed down, and he continued speaking.

"For the next five days, you only need to prepare some spiritual food for my Xuanyi. I will take care of Xuanyi's cultivation and will not accept any spirit stones from you."

"Yun Sheng thanks Steward Liu." The anger on Mu Yun Sheng's face vanished instantly, replaced by a broad smile as he bowed to Liu Jiang Yue in gratitude, showing no trace of his previous anger.

"You little rascal," Liu Jiangyue said with a smile, his aged face showing a hint of scorn. Then he turned to Liu Xuanyi and said, "Xuanyi, this kid's family used to be low-level rogue cultivators in our Qianyuan Prefecture, where there wasn't even a spiritual land. They didn't have any spirit stones at all." "Let's just consider this a good deed and not take any spirit stones from him."

Liu Xuanyi's clear and ethereal eyes were filled with doubt. Hearing Liu Jiangyue's words and looking at Mu Yunsheng, who was chatting and laughing with him, a hint of curiosity arose in her heart.

He nodded slightly to Liu Jiangyue, then spoke to Mu Yunsheng.

“Take me to see the spiritual veins of your family’s sacred land.”

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Senior Xuanyi." Mu Yunsheng bowed and replied, a look of joy rising in his heart. With a smile on his face, he invited Liu Xuanyi and Liu Jiangyue to walk out of the courtyard.

"Rumble~" On the sacred land of Mangshan, the mortal clansmen of the Mu family and the mortals drawn from the surrounding towns were still diligently repairing the sacred land of Mangshan.

They demolished dilapidated and ruined buildings and built new attics and courtyards.

"Yes! Yes! A little more, a little to the right, a little more to the right."

At the foot of the mountain, on the path leading to the entrance of Mangshan Lingdi Mountain, a brand-new stone archway stands tall.

Mu Kehua, beaming with joy, directed Mu Yunying to hang red ink on the plaque inscribed with the words "Mu Mansion." These two characters, "Mu Mansion," were personally written by Mu Yunsheng at his request.

"Thump!" A loud noise suddenly came from the side.

Looking down, all that could be seen was a bronze bell, about the height of a person and half a palm's thickness, which suddenly fell from the platform.

The twenty or so ordinary craftsmen who were installing the bell nearby all paled upon seeing this and frantically tried to help it up and prevent it from falling.

"Get out of the way!" Mu Yunying shouted loudly, her eyes wide open. In a flash, she leaped from the stone archway, which was more than ten feet high, onto the platform of the bell tower, and used both hands to catch the large bronze bell that was about to roll down.

"Boom~"

With a loud crash, the tung oil-coated solid wood flooring on the balconies broke and collapsed.

Mu Yunying's figure was slammed to the ground by the impact of the falling bronze bell and its own weight.

The twenty or so ordinary craftsmen who were trying to hold up the bell fell from the platform. When they saw Mu Yunying being hit on the ground, their faces showed fear and lingering dread.

I can't imagine what would have happened if they had tried to catch the fallen bronze bell.

"Get up!" Mu Kehua hurriedly came over, circulated his true energy, and removed the large bronze bell with one hand. He asked Mu Yunying with concern, "Yunying, are you alright?"

Although he didn't feel the same closeness and affection for Mu Yunying as he did for Mu Yunsheng, he still had Mu Yunying in his heart.

After all, Mu Yunying was the first child of Mu Huilan and Mu Qinghu, and he and Mu Mengshu had high hopes for her when she was young.

"Phew~ Elder, Yunying is alright." Mu Yunying exhaled, her face slightly flushed as she replied, her innate true energy still present, her legs deeply embedded in the mud.

Upon seeing Mu Kehua, he easily moved the large bronze bell that Mu Kehua could hardly block, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"It's good that you're alright. You must not be so reckless next time. If the bronze bell falls, it falls. We can just have the craftsmen hang it up again."

Mu Kehua breathed a sigh of relief, then lectured Mu Yunying. Afterwards, his aged face was filled with anger as he looked at the twenty or so ordinary craftsmen and spoke angrily.

"What's wrong with you guys? You can't even hang a bronze bell properly! I was just about to help you up, are you all crazy?!"

"Immortal Master, spare us! Immortal Master, spare us! We had already hung the bronze bell up properly, but then there was an earthquake, like a dragon turning over, which is why the bronze bell fell down. It's really not our fault."

The twenty or so ordinary craftsmen, seeing Mu Kehua's anger, immediately knelt down and said...

"Nonsense! How could the Mu family's sacred land be overturned by an earth dragon..." Upon hearing the words of the twenty or so mortal craftsmen, Mu Kehua's aged face grew even angrier, and he retorted angrily.

But he hadn't finished his angry words.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~..."

At this moment, a series of loud noises rang out from the sacred ground of Mangshan, causing the ground at the foot of the mountain to tremble.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a series of loud noises coming from the sacred land of Mangshan, a total of eighteen.

"What happened on the sacred land of Mangshan?"

Mu Kehua was shocked and quickly turned around to look at the sacred land of Mangshan. He saw eighteen giant pillars of earth and stone rising up on the sacred land of Mangshan.

Then, the Xuanhuang spiritual light appeared and connected, and one by one, the earth spiritual energy condensed and evolved into Xuanhuang Yi soldiers, which appeared on the spiritual land of Mangshan. Each one was more than 10 feet tall and looked majestic and extraordinary.

There are a total of eighteen people.

"God! God! The immortal master on the mountain has summoned the mountain god!"

The ordinary people of the Mu family at the foot of the mountain, as well as the mortals transferred from the surrounding towns to help repair the sacred land of Mangshan, witnessed this strange scene on the sacred land of Mangshan.

They all cried out in astonishment, then knelt down before the sacred land of Mangshan, kowtowing repeatedly with awe to the eighteen Xuanhuang Yi soldiers that had been condensed and evolved.

"Elder, these are the two immortal masters that Brother Sheng invited to set up the protective formation for our Mu family. Has it been successfully set up?"

Upon seeing the eighteen Xuanhuang Yi soldiers appear on the sacred ground of Mangshan, Mu Yunying was also surprised and asked Mu Kehua a question.

"Yes, Steward Liu and the others have been at our Mu family's sacred mountain of Mangshan for five days now. By now, the protective formation they set up for our Mu family should indeed be in place."

“Yun Sheng specifically told me this morning that he wanted to adjust the Xuanhuang Liujia Yibing Formation set up on the Mangshan spiritual land.”

"So we brought all the ordinary people working on the mountain down, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion, hahaha~"

Mu Kehua smiled broadly as he looked at the Xuanhuang Liujia Yibing Formation rising from the sacred land of Mangshan, his anger and astonishment completely gone.

Meanwhile, at the summit of Mangshan Spiritual Land, at the center of the spiritual vein.

Mu Yunsheng, Liu Jiangyue, and Liu Xuanyi stood there, looking at the entire Mangshan Spiritual Land, in the area where Mu Yunsheng and his fellow Mu family lived. There was nothing wrong with it.

The eighteen massive earthen and stone pillars were enveloped in the mist.

"The Xuanhuang Six Jia Yi Soldier Formation works roughly like this. The Xuanhuang Yi Soldiers, formed from the condensation and evolution of earth elemental energy, are sentient and will attack anyone who enters the formation on their own."

"When not activated, the eighteen Xuanhuang spirit pillars will retract into the underground array base to reduce the consumption of spiritual energy, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by cultivators."

"As long as the base buried deep underground is not damaged, it can continue to recover."

"This is an array plate. As long as you drip blood into the array plate, the Xuanhuang Yi Weapon that is formed will recognize its master and will not attack."
