Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

The strongest members of the Hidden Dragon Guard have all reached the Dharma Aspect Realm. This force is not only powerful but also full of potential.

Sooner or later, they will soar to the heavens and shine brightly in the Tianyuan Realm.

Xu Kong, who is currently in the Eight Ancient Kingdoms, has completely taken control of the kingdom.

All the important positions in the Eight Ancient Kingdoms were arranged by Xu Kong. Some of them were members of the Xu family, some were transferred from the Great Qian Dynasty, and some were personally selected and promoted by Xu Kong.

It can be said that the current royal family and ruler of the Eight Ancient Kingdoms are his puppets.

With a single command from Xu Kong, he could even mobilize the entire Eight Ancient Kingdoms to wage war against any person or force.

However, since the location of the capital has not yet been chosen, there is no need to merge the eight ancient kingdoms and rename them the Great Qian Dynasty for the time being. We can wait a little longer.

.....

Xu Hao would stroll around Qilan City in the Immortal Realm every few days, visiting everything from roadside stalls to large businesses, all in an effort to find treasures.

However, Xu Hao and Xu Chen are different. Xu Chen is looking for gold in garbage, while Xu Hao is looking for things that are common in the Immortal Realm but are considered gold in Cangzhou.

The previous pill formulas and alchemy techniques were all discovered gradually in this way.

Recently, Xu Hao made another discovery. After returning to the Xu family, he found Xu Chu.

"Brother Chu, I've obtained a very powerful formation. This formation can be quickly set up using formation flags, and I also have the method for crafting the formation flags. See if you can craft them."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chu's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.

"What kind of formation is this? Let me take a look."

Xu Hao took out two jade slips, one containing the method for setting up the formation and the other containing the method for crafting the formation flags.

Xu Chu eagerly took it and began to read it.

"Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation".

After carefully reading it, Xu Chu's face showed astonishment, and a hint of ecstasy.

"This formation is amazing! It's a rare formation that combines offense and defense. Not only can it be used to defend against attacks, but under the control of the person who sets it up, it can also display a certain killing power."

"Moreover, the power of the array flags varies depending on the materials used. If the best materials are used to make the array flags, their power will definitely surpass most ancient arrays after the array is set up."

The Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation has three versions of its array flags: a simplified version, a complete version, and an advanced version. The advanced version is much more powerful than the mountain-protecting array of the dominant forces in Cangzhou.

So after watching it, Xu Chu praised it highly, but in fact, this Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation is a very common formation in the Immortal Realm, and only some small forces in Qilan City still use it.

After reading it, Xu Chu said, "We can even refine the array flags and sell them; we can definitely make a fortune."

"In that case, if the buyer thoroughly studies the formation, won't we be unable to use it?" Xu Hao asked doubtfully.

His original intention was to refine the array flags for the Xu family to use; he never intended to sell them.

Xu Chu revealed a confident smile.

"You can rest assured about that. When I'm crafting the array flags, I can easily tamper with them to make them difficult for others to disassemble and study."

Xu Hao raised another question.

"But this formation is quite powerful. If our enemies buy it and use it against us, it would be very bad."

Xu Chu replied, "Don't worry about that. Everything about the formation is here. As long as I can set it up, I can figure out how to break it and then pass that method on to the Xu family."

"If our enemies don't buy them, that's fine. But once they buy the complete set of array flags and use them against us, we can easily turn them into a useless array in a short time by using our countermeasures."

After listening, Xu Hao nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, how come I didn't think of that? Brother Chu is so experienced."

If we include the time spent in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Xu Chu is definitely the oldest in the entire Xu family, even older than Elder Kong. Therefore, he naturally knows more, while Xu Hao is still too young.

This is also the main reason why Xu Qingzhou called Xu Chu over to teach Xu Hao.

Xu Chu said confidently, "Leave this matter to me. We'll go find the clan leader after we've settled it."

"I don't need to go. Just say you found it," Xu Hao replied, scratching his head. He would bring back other things in the future, but he didn't have many excuses left.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

"By the way, besides this Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation, I have another formation. It's a Spirit Gathering Formation, but its effect is much better than the Spirit Gathering Formation in the Tianyuan Realm. At least I haven't seen one that's better than it yet."

Xu Chu was astonished. "Really? Let me see."

Xu Hao took out another jade slip; these two formations were all he had gained during this period.

After reading it, Xu Chu nodded repeatedly.

“You’re right. There’s really no better spirit-gathering array in the Tianyuan Realm. You could say it’s a perfect spirit-gathering array.”

Even the most powerful large-scale spirit-gathering array is about 30% less effective than this array, which shows just how powerful this array is.

If this formation were to be put up for sale, it would definitely attract fierce competition from various powerful forces, and the price would remain high.

Xu Hao asked, "We don't need to sell this formation, right?"

“Of course, I’ll do some research and set it up in our house,” Xu Chu said confidently.

“Okay,” Xu Chu said after Xu Hao left, and then began to study the two formations.

He studied alchemy, artifacts, arrays, and runes not just to keep himself occupied in his long life, nor solely for the sake of having more skills, but also because he genuinely enjoyed them.

After some time, Xu Chu thoroughly studied the perfect version of the Spirit Gathering Array and gradually set it up in the Xu family.

They even set one up for it in the lake where the Heavenly Mystic Turtle lived.

The Heavenly Mystic Turtle now possesses the strength of the Heavenly Palace Realm. It is enormous, with a shell diameter of at least several hundred feet, and its overall size resembles a small mountain.

Because it usually sleeps in the Xu family's blessed land, its cultivation progresses much slower, far less than that of the Azure Thunder Roc that always follows Xu Chen.

However, as time goes by, its cultivation level will continue to improve, and its size will also continue to grow.

Sooner or later, the Heavenly Tortoise will be able to support Cangzhou, and even the entire Tianyuan Realm.

Then Xu Chu began to study the Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation. This formation was more complex and complicated. In addition, he also had to refine the formation flags and make some tampering. Xu Chu specially returned to the Great Qian Dynasty and studied it in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

More than a month later, Xu Chu returned to the Xu family in Duanshan City and found Xu Qingzhou with a set of Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation flags.

He got straight to the point and explained his purpose.

"Clan leader, this is a formation I found called the Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation. It can be used for both offense and defense, and it is extremely effective as a mountain protection formation. There are three versions: a simplified version, a complete version, and an advanced version."

"I think this formation can be sold at Wanbaoge, and the more we sell, the better, because I've tampered with the formation flags, making it difficult for others to decipher and study. Most importantly, I already have a way to break it, so there's no need to worry about others using this formation against our Xu family."

Xu Qingzhou was slightly taken aback after hearing this.

"Alright, I'll find someone to test its power and do an evaluation before sending it to Wanbaoge for sale."

Xu Qingzhou had already guessed that this formation must have been given by Xu Hao, since it was clearly not something from the Tianyuan Realm, but must have come from the Immortal Realm, just like those pill formulas.

It doesn't matter where they come from or who found them, as long as they are helpful to the Xu family.

If the Xu family's rival forces bought these array flags and set up the Four Spirits Mountain and River Array within their own territory.

When the Xu family has enough strength to attack them one day, and they destroy the protective mountain formation that the Xu family is so proud of right in front of them, their expressions will surely be quite interesting.

So Xu Chu was right when he said that the more you sell, the better, and you shouldn't refuse anyone who comes to buy.

Xu Chu took out all the Four Spirits Mountain and River Formation Flags he had crafted. Only an all-rounder like Xu Chu, who was proficient in both formations and weapon crafting, could do this so flawlessly.
