I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

This……

Su Rumei's confident words left Yingzi speechless.

She had always known that Su Rumei was extremely stubborn most of the time, but she never expected that Su Rumei could be so stubborn.

"I know you're optimistic about Feng Bugui, but you have to think carefully. The attack could happen again at any time."

"The first time we were caught off guard."

"But if it happens a second time, our Wanbao Tower's reputation in Yunxiao City will plummet rapidly. By that time, I'm afraid no one will dare to set foot in our Wanbao Tower anymore."

Shadow reminded seriously.

She admired Su Rumei's stubbornness and vision, but the situation was critical and she hoped Su Rumei would be cautious.

only……

Su Rumei obviously didn't listen, instead she shook her head gently: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

And the other side.

Gu Xiu, who set up the formation, didn't have so many thoughts. In fact, he could more or less notice the strange looks from others, but he didn't care.

Instead, he continued to set up his own formation seriously.

He set up a triple magic formation for Wanbao Tower.

The first level is an illusion array, the second level is a trapping array, and the last level is a killing array.

These three formations.

These were all learned by Gu Xiu when he traveled around the world five hundred years ago.

Talk about it.

The art of formations and the art of talismans seem similar, but in fact they are two completely different approaches.

If the art of talismans is about being in harmony with the Dao of heaven and earth, then the art of formations is more about understanding and using spiritual energy and the Dao of heaven and earth.

Through the arrangement of different formation flags and array centers, the spiritual energy is guided to circulate in a predetermined manner, thereby simulating or attracting the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth, and exerting astonishing power.

This is why.

Ordinary people can set up a formation as long as they have a formation diagram and spend materials, but there is no way to make talismans solely with talisman materials.

Because anyone can set up a formation, but a talisman master must have an affinity with the Dao of heaven and earth.

But this does not mean that the formation master is inferior to the talisman master.

In fact, a powerful formation master must have a meticulous study and understanding of spiritual energy, and can rationally utilize spiritual energy to take advantage of the rhythm of heaven and earth.

This is extremely complicated.

Strictly speaking, Gu Xiu is not actually a powerful formation master.

At best, he had only a rudimentary understanding of formations. He could rely on his own strength and then imitate others to depict the formations he knew.

That's it.

Moreover, most of the formations he knew came from his travels five hundred years ago, and the three formations he set up at this moment were also obtained back then.

but……

That was the past.

Today, Gu Xiu has the Seven Star Pendant on him. This jade pendant has the ability to break the formation, allowing Gu Xiu to glimpse the mystery of the formation and directly point to the core of the formation.

This brings about.

When Gu Xiu is setting up a large formation, he can peek into the formation to enhance its power, and even an ordinary formation can become extraordinary.

At noon the next day, the three large formations were completed.

After confirming that the formation was fine, Gu Xiu said goodbye immediately: "Manager Su, the formation has been set up. If there is nothing else, I will order some puppets and go back."

Su Rumei naturally expressed her gratitude and immediately took out five books on cultivation techniques.

Gu Xiu took a quick look and was a little surprised, because most of the cultivation techniques that Su Rumei brought were at least Xuan-level techniques.

There is even a local-level technique!

Afterwards, Su Rumei took Gu Xiu to the fourth floor of Wanbao Building, which specialized in selling puppets.

There are all kinds of puppets in here.

"We in Wanbao Tower are not good at puppetry, so our puppets only stop at the fifth level of Qi Refining." Su Rumei explained.

High-grade puppets are definitely worth a fortune.

However, low-grade puppets are sold by chambers of commerce like Wanbaolou. They are usually used by independent cultivators or people with low strength to explore dangerous places or fight against enemies of the same level.

Gu Xiu looked at it carefully for a while and was very satisfied.

Most of these puppets are human-shaped puppets made of high-quality ironwood.

The structure is simple and not easy to be damaged.

It is also engraved with intricate puppet patterns, and with the help of silk-pulling techniques, it can be used as a helper in battle.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, feel free to choose as many as you want. My Wanbao Tower will give them to you."

"That won't work." Gu Xiu shook his head.

Su Rumei smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Feng, please don't be polite. You are a friend of Wanbao Tower. I can still afford to give you a few puppets."

"No, I really don't want too much." Gu Xiu shook his head again.

"A lot?" Su Rumei was surprised, then smiled: "Although the puppet is more valuable, but my Wanbao Tower..."

"Manager Su!"

Gu Xiu interrupted Su Rumei and said seriously, "I hope Manager Su won't refuse the puppet's spirit stone. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to accept it."

Su Rumei was surprised. Feng Bugui was always a moderate person and would not be overly polite about trivial matters.

I didn't expect that he would be so persistent this time.

Gu Xiu took out a storage bag and handed it to Su Rumei: "This is the spirit stone I need to buy the puppet."

"That's...ok."

Su Rumei felt a little helpless, but she still took it. However, the moment she touched it, her eyes suddenly widened and she looked into the storage bag:

"This...this is..."

Gu Xiu smiled and said, "According to the market price, this kind of puppet costs about 5,000 spirit stones each. There are 1 million spirit stones in it. I plan to order 200 first."

"How much???" Su Rumei was stunned.

"Two hundred, of course. I don't think we have that many puppets in the store right now, so there's no rush. I just need Manager Su to help me transfer them as soon as possible."

"This……"

"By the way, I may continue to order a batch later. I will inform Shopkeeper Su in advance when the time comes."

Su Rumei: Huh???

……

Half an hour later.

Gu Xiu and Su Rumei said a few more words, then slowly left Wanbao Tower.

Su Rumei looked at Gu Xiu's back with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

Be grateful indeed.

Fortunately, Feng Bugui interrupted me in time, otherwise, I would have lost face today.

There was no way, because there were thirty puppets in Gu Xiu’s storage ring at the moment, and all the puppets in the entire store were swept away by Gu Xiu!

Moreover, he still owes Gu Xiu one hundred and seventy puppets!

This……

Just outrageous!

When Gu Xiu asked for puppets before, Su Rumei thought he only wanted one or two puppets, or at most three or five.

It’s a gift, so it’s a gift.

The results of it?

Two hundred! A full one million spirit stones!

Even if she is the manager of Wanbao Tower, she can't just give away a million spirit stones!

"Isn't he a casual cultivator? How could he be a hidden tycoon all this time? He can even casually spend millions of spirit stones? Could he have robbed a spirit stone mine?"

“Is this still called a casual cultivator???”

The shadow also appeared at this moment, looking at the direction where Gu Xiu disappeared, full of shock.

The first time I met Gu Xiu was in the Tianqi Mountains.

At that time, Gu Xiuxiu was weak and used a broken wooden stick as a weapon. She didn't look like a wealthy person at all, so they both always felt that.

Feng Bugui is a penniless and down-and-out cultivator.

The results of it?

Wow, he spent a million spirit stones just for one move?

This isn't some down-and-out, poor, casual cultivator! This is clearly a very wealthy, low-key individual!

So after all the twists and turns, it turns out that I'm the one who's poor?

"But what does he need so many puppets for?"

Shadow asked curiously, "Aren't these puppets usually bought by big families to serve as thugs for their descendants? He's quite powerful, so what's the point of buying so many puppets?"

Su Rumei was also confused and puzzled.

but.

Just as she was still shocked by Feng Bugui's bold move, she saw two figures approaching.

What these two people are wearing.

It’s the Taoist uniform of Qingxuan Holy Land!

"Manager Su, we heard that your branch needs someone to set up a formation, so the two of us came here specially to help you set up the formation."

"Set up a formation?" Su Rumei frowned.

However, the shopkeeper Jin had already rushed out and said, "Manager Su, I had already informed these two fellow Daoists from Qingxuan Holy Land last night."

"Nonsense, didn't I tell you to wait for my decision on this matter?" Su Rumei was dissatisfied.

Shopkeeper Jin also felt aggrieved: "I thought that Manager Su would definitely ask for help from Qingxuan Holy Land, so I notified you in advance. When you said so, I... well..."

It was a momentary oversight.

Su Rumei frowned, a little displeased.

Some time ago, the Qingxuan Holy Land showed its true colors in the matter of talismans. If possible, she did not want to be involved with the Qingxuan Holy Land again.

But now that everyone has arrived, she is in a difficult position.

A disciple from the Qingxuan Holy Land nearby, who had clearly heard what was going on, sneered:

"So Wanbao Tower actually found someone else to create the formation in advance. It seems that Manager Su thinks that my Qingxuan Holy Land's attainments in formation are not good enough?"

"Manager Su looks down on the talismans of our Qingxuan Holy Land, and now he even looks down on our formations. Does he want to cut off the cooperation with our Qingxuan Holy Land?" Another disciple said with a look of sarcasm on his face.

This made Su Rumei frown. She didn't dare to say such words, nor did she have the right to say them.

However, two arrogant disciples of Qingxuan Holy Land had already arrived at the gate of Wanbao Tower.

"I'd really like to see what formation Manager Su thinks is more powerful than our Qingxuan Holy Land. What kind of formation is it?"

As he spoke, the disciple stepped inside and quickly looked around.

but……

Just one glance, and the disciple from Qingxuan Holy Land suddenly showed surprise:

"Xuan Yang Trapping Formation?"

"Isn't this the formation that my Qingxuan Holy Land has used for over five hundred years?"

"Who helped you set up this formation?"
