After wandering around, Jiang Chen finally chose the bottom of a certain cave. Although there was no natural giant pit, there was free labor like the gold-eating rat clan, so Jiang Chen naturally didn't have to worry about it.
One day after the Gold-eating Rat clan was urged to cultivate, a large pit appeared that was larger than the original Wood Spirit Spring. It was suitable as a water storage lake.
In this area, spiritual energy was abundant, and Jiang Chen artificially planted many wood-type elixirs to cover up the aura of Tianyi Jade Vine.
After relocating the Tianyi Jade Vine, Jiang Chen summoned Long Xiaoxuan and asked him to release the spring of wood spirit again.
An hour later, a new wood spirit spring was formed again.
Jiang Chen walked around the cave a few times and always felt that there was no defense around the cave.
"Although there is a restricted defense on the outside of my private cave, there is no personal defensive restriction when entering the cave. This is not a good thing."
Now that he has a private cave, Jiang Chen doesn't want anyone to be able to enter and exit his forbidden area at will.
Jiang Chen is naturally familiar with formation restrictions. In his previous life, Jiang Chen was not able to practice, and there was no other path that he did not dabble in.
The same is true for a formation.
However, when it comes to formations, they are all for the rich. The spiritual stones consumed by one formation are at least comparable to the resources consumed by the training of ten warriors.
In other words, if Jiang Chen wants to set up a formation on the inner perimeter, and if the defense level is at the level of a powerful Saint, then the amount of spiritual stones he will consume will be astonishing.
With Jiang Chen's current financial resources, he simply cannot afford this consumption.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen has a large number of golden-winged sword birds, and an even larger number of gold-eating rats.
Now that he has his own private domain, Jiang Chen can completely place the Gold-Eating Rat Clan in this cave.
Of course, the Wood Spirit Spring is still Long Xiaoxuan's territory, and no one except Jiang Chen can easily approach it.
The Golden-Winged Sword Bird and the Gold-Eating Rat Clan are placed on the first and second floors of the cave.
In this way, an artificial defense can be set up.
However, this is only a temporary measure, a powerful defensive formation is still necessary.
Jiang Chen observed the terrain around the cave.
His cave was not far from this cave. After analyzing the terrain, Jiang Chen thought of the name of a formation——
Nine Gates Burning Heaven Formation.
The surrounding terrain has nine undulations, like the nine gates of heaven and earth. Judging from this terrain, the Nine Gates Burning Heaven Formation is very suitable.
The Nine-Sect Burning Sky Formation is relatively representative. Jiang Chen has a deep impression of this formation in his previous life. Moreover, this formation is not at the level of the heavens, but also the inheritance of various mortal planes.
Based on Jiang Chen's understanding of this formation, if he could activate this formation 100%, it would be absolutely impossible for even the emperor-level experts to break through the formation.
Of course, 100% activation is simply unrealistic for Jiang Chen at the moment. He does not have such a strong resource reserve.
Unless the entire Danqian Palace's resources are at his disposal, he can only be 70-80% sure to fully activate this formation.
Of course, Jiang Chen did not have such extravagant hopes at all.
Jiang Chen's goal at this stage is to defend against human-sage-level warriors, and that's about it.
As long as 30% of the power of this nine-door Burning Heaven Formation is activated, it is enough to defend against a powerful person at the Human Saint level.
Of course, the level is 30% of the power, and the materials consumed are also staggering.
First, the refining of the formation flag. Although the refining of the formation flag is not as complicated as the refining of divine weapons, the quality of the formation flag directly determines the quality of the formation.
The materials required for the formation flag are quite demanding.
In addition to the formation flags, the materials used to depict the formation are equally demanding.
In addition, the most fundamental thing is to maintain and run this formation, which requires a huge amount of spiritual stones.
With Jiang Chen's current monthly salary, it would take at least ten years of his monthly salary to activate 30% of the power. Moreover, this could only be maintained for one year.
If we want to maintain the operation for ten years and a hundred years, it will require Jiang Chen's monthly salary of hundreds of years and thousands of years. This is simply a scary number.
Jiang Chen estimated that only the elders of the sect could come up with this number.
Moreover, even if it can be taken out, it will still break the muscles and bones.
"I don't want it to run for a hundred years, but five years is the minimum." Jiang Chen estimated that five years was already his minimum bottom line.
Of course, even the spiritual stones needed for five years would require Jiang Chen's monthly salary for fifty years to maintain.
Even if Jiang Chen is a popular person in front of the Danchi Palace Master, Jiang Chen also knows that it is unrealistic to advance fifty years' salary.
And if the sect's mission is to be realized, with such a large demand for spiritual stones, the difficulty of the mission will be even greater than the previous eight-star mission of helping Elder Yun Nie refine the Six-Pattern Black Dragon Pill.
For Jiang Chen, this obviously cannot solve his urgent need.
"I still want to get rich." Jiang Chen once again felt the trouble of having no money. He did have many valuable things on his body now.
For example, dragon blood, dragon crystal, or wood spirit spring.
But these are all trump cards, and he must not expose them. Once exposed, there will be endless troubles, and Jiang Chen is not willing to leak these trump cards.
Otherwise, a drop of dragon's blood is enough to solve all problems.
Of course, he didn't have other ways. If he went to the Danchi Palace Master or Elder Yun Nie, they might lend it to him.
However, Jiang Chen was not willing to open this mouth.
This money must be earned by oneself in order to spend it reliably.
When Jiang Chen left the Spring of Wood Spirits, he also obtained a large number of spirit stones. After taking out this batch of spirit stones and counting them, it turned out that there were quite a few, which could satisfy at least half of Jiang Chen's needs.
"Using all this batch of spiritual stones will only meet half of the demand. There is still half a gap. Where can I make money?" Jiang Chen thought.
There are many ways, but they all require time. What Jiang Chen lacks most now is time. He is not willing to spend a lot of time making money for a formation, thereby wasting his own cultivation time.
This is because a small gain is a big loss, and Jiang Chen will not take it.
"Forget it, just take it one step at a time. Anyway, I have been practicing in the Supreme Zone recently. There are defenses outside the Supreme Zone, so ordinary people can't enter my territory."
Although Jiang Chen wanted to set up this formation right away, he also knew that it would be difficult to complete in just three seconds.
Fortunately, the perimeter of this private cave is restricted and no one else can enter.
Jiang Chen wanted to set up the inner formation to prevent uninvited guests. If someone with great supernatural powers showed up uninvited, the secret of his Wood Spirit Spring would be exposed.
Although Long Xiaoxuan is in charge, he can definitely kill people and silence them, but if it is a high-level person in Danqian Palace, Jiang Chen cannot do such a thing.
After returning to his place of residence, Jiang Chen was about to practice in seclusion when suddenly a transmission message came from outside the cave: "Senior Brother Jiang Chen, in the name of my master, I invite you to attend the monthly meeting of the Supreme District in three days to have tea and discuss elixirs. Discuss the general trend of Vientiane territory."
Magatama had already walked to the outskirts of the cave, and after a while, he came in with an invitation.
This invitation is very exquisite in workmanship and looks very delicate.
"Fellow Taoist Jiang Chen, we, the genius of the Supreme District, are standing at the top of the sect and should look at the world. In three days, our office will hold the monthly meeting of the Supreme District. We will drink tea and discuss elixirs, give advice on the country, and discuss the general trend. Isn't that great? New Taoist Fellow. In the Supreme District, you must be an elegant person, please come and don't keep us waiting for too long."
The signature is three words, Shen Qinghong.
Jiang Chen naturally has the impression that Shen Qinghong is one of the top beings among the younger generation in Danqian Palace. It is said that with his cultivation, he is already halfway to the holy path.
In the entire Supreme Zone, they are also among the top three.
Supreme District Monthly Meeting?
Jiang Chen played with the invitation gently, knowing that the invitation was half an invitation and half a test.
If you don't go, this group of people will definitely see clearly. In the future, you will definitely become the target of everyone's suppression in the Supreme District, and even become the laughing stock of the entire Danxia Valley.
Although Jiang Chen didn't care about this, he was unwilling to give in to this momentum.
If you go by yourself, you will not have a good feast, and you will probably encounter a lot of difficulties. These disciples in the Supreme District are all strong men, and they will never be polite to you. A little difficulty is the least you can do. If you deal with it a little, No, it's very likely that you'll end up in disgrace, or even be embarrassed.
However, Jiang Chen didn't think too much about it at all. He knew that no matter how complicated the Supreme District Yuehui was, he had no other choice.
must go.
If he doesn't go, then Jiang Chen will be portrayed as a coward and be looked down upon by the entire Danqian Palace.
The most important thing is that he has gained the respect of Danchi Palace Master and Elder Yun Nie. If he is underestimated, it will indirectly be a blow to these two people.
Jiang Chen put down the invitation and had already made a decision in his mind. No matter whether it was a dragon's pond, a tiger's den, or a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, he had no reason to refuse to go.
Not long after, Mu Gaoqi came to visit in a hurry.
Jiang Chen was also expecting this. He knew that Mu Gaoqi must have received the invitation and was having trouble making a decision, so he came to ask for advice.
"Brother Chen, from my point of view, this Supreme District Monthly Meeting is just a show of force. If they don't accept you, I got the quota for Dan Dou in Huanbo Mountain. From my point of view, they will definitely make things difficult for you and me in every possible way."
Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "So you are afraid?"
Mu Gaoqi's heart twitched, remembering his master's teachings two days ago, and he said in his heart: "Brother Chen, I'm not afraid. I'm here to tell you, no matter what, I must go this time. I am the superior innate wood spirit." My body, my alchemy talent is the best in the history of Danqian Palace, I must not weaken my momentum, let alone disgrace my master."
Although this statement is a bit blunt, we can see Mu Gaoqi's determination to some extent.
"Gao Qi, you and I are destined. I have a magical power for cultivating the mind and a magical power for cultivating eyesight, which I will teach you. However, you must promise to keep it secret."
Jiang Chen passed on the cultivation techniques of "Tianmu Divine Pupil" and "Heart of Rock" to Mu Gaoqi through his spiritual consciousness.
"Brother Chen, I, Mu Gaoqi, am today thanks to your support. You take care of me so much. If I am still ignorant, I will not complain if you slap me to death. Even if others beat me to death, I will not Sell these things you gave me."
Mu Gaoqi's character is a little weaker, but he still has these principles.
