Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2106 Chapter 998: Sect Taoist Soldiers (Part 2)

It involves crafting custom spiritual artifacts tailored for various sects, accompanied by unique formations, creating spiritual artifacts for the purpose of ʼcounteringʼ inheritances.

Of course, it is impossible to completely ʼcounterʼ them, at most, it increases the odds of winning by ten to twenty percent.

But in the context of the Sword Discussion Conference, with so many participants, even a ten to twenty percent increase in odds could completely alter the results.

The Taixu Sect Master took a deep breath.

He could roughly guess what Mo Hua was doing.

But Mo Hua being able to achieve this step was still far beyond his expectations.

It seemed like crafting a batch of spiritual artifacts for ʼcountering, but the effort required was immense.

It requires encompassing the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, extensive and profound knowledge of formations to design these formation diagram plans.

It requires significant time to study the inheritances of other sects and select. the countering formations.

It requires great effort to design custom spiritual artifacts and continuously match them with formations.

None of these can be accomplished overnight; they require accumulation over many years.

It requires a vast number of cases for reference and a substantial amount of practice to correct and improve.

Finally, the most crucial part is production capacity.

A large, experienced, and efficiently coordinated refinery shop is needed to satisfy all the stringent conditions of formation design, for the production of spiritual artifacts and formation media.

This is a complete Tao cultivation ʼindustrial chainʼ encompassing formation structuring, spiritual artifact design, and artifact refining.

What he didnʼt expect was that Mo Hua managed to organize it all so seamlessly...

The Taixu Sect Master was taken aback for a long time before he could digest this incredible fact.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Mo Hua: ”What else do you need?”

Knowing Mo Huaʼs personality, he wouldnʼt come to him without a reason.

Calling him here certainly meant he had other plans.

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, inwardly praising him; as expected of a Sect Master, he saw through his intentions at once. ”There is a problem,” Mo Hua said, ”These spiritual artifacts are simply too many, and there are over a thousand compatible high-rank formations. I alone canʼt finish drawing them; I need some inner gate senior brothers from Taixu Gate, as well as instructors and elders, to help draw the formations.”

According to the Sword Discussion rules, the formations carried must not exceed the second-grade middle-level.

But the formations within the spiritual artifacts serve to amplify the artifacts and can still use second-grade high-rank ones.

Mo Hua intended for instructors and elders to act as ʼlabor.ʼ ”Alright.” The Taixu Sect Master nodded.

Mo Huaʼs actions were for the sect, so he had no reason to refuse. ”And one more thing...”

Mo Hua seemed a bit embarrassed.

The Taixu Sect Master sensed it might not be a good thing and calmly said, ”Speak up...”

Mo Hua then quietly asked, ”Could the sect ʼreimburseʼ these spiritual artifacts and formation media...”

Reimbursement was actually the major issue.

Initially, Mo Huaʼs plan was to make them available for sale to the junior brothers, letting them pay with Flower Spirit Stones and then participate in the sword discussions.

But crafting these spiritual artifacts proved exceedingly troublesome and costly.

Moreover, many rounds are required in the sword discussions and opponents vary.

If the junior brothers had to buy them with Flower Spirit Stones for each match, they would need to change a set of spiritual artifacts and formation for each event, making it even more expensive.

Even if they might not lack Spirit Stones, itʼs simply too wasteful.

The crucial point is that each person would need several sets of spiritual artifacts, creating too much demand, which Master Guʼs refinery shop canʼt supply.

Thus, Mo Hua stated his intent: ”Have the sect purchase this batch of spiritual artifacts and rent them to the sword-discussing disciples. If undamaged, they can be reused, or if damaged, compensate at the original price.”

He was also trying to get business for Master Gu and their workshop.

Previously, the Gushan Refining Workshop did business with the disciples of Taixu Gate.

If he could gain the Sect Leaderʼs approval, it would mean doing business with

Taixu Gate.

The significance of this would be entirely different.

Once a start is made in this kind of business, it would be easier to handle in the future.

Thereʼs even a possibility that in the future, the industryʼs supply for the Taixu Gateʼs sword discussions would all be linked to the Gushan Refining Workshop.

With Taixu Gate as a ʼmajor clientʼ and ʼbacker,ʼ the industry in Solitary Mountain will also be able to develop steadily in the future.

Once the industry thrives, the days for the loose cultivators in Solitary

Mountain City will also improve.

The Taixu Sect Master also understood the nuances, looked at Mo Hua, and sighed inwardly.

An indeed good child...

And well-thought-out, daring to think and to act when faced with matters.

Yet, he still remained somewhat silent.

Mo Hua saw that the Sect Master was silent, perhaps apprehensive, and softly asked: ”Is it not feasible?”

The Taixu Sect Master looked at Mo Hua intently and pondered, ”Itʼs not exactly infeasible...”

The Spirit Stones for this, although feasible for Taixu Gate, is not without difficulty, mainly because of turnover issues.

Taixu Gate is a great sect with a deep foundation, but it also has a large number of cultivators, and the places requiring Spirit Stones are countless. Especially now, after the Three Sects Unification, the scale is even larger, needing Spirit Stones everywhere, as if each stone has to be split in two for use.

As a Sect Master, he cannot decide lightly. ”Let me go back and consider this matter.” The Taixu Sect Master stated. ”Alright.” Mo Hua nodded.

The best scenario would be for the sect to purchase the spiritual artifacts and engage in business with the Gushan Refining Workshop.

If the sect couldnʼt manage the Spirit Stone turnover, then his junior brothers would have to purchase them themselves.

After inspecting the spiritual artifacts, the Taixu Sect Master was ready to return to the sect.

Mo Hua was still leading the way for the Sect Master. Master Gu, after listening to this conversation, certainly understood Mo Huaʼs intention, and could vaguely guess the identity of this extraordinary-looking middle-aged cultivator before him.
