I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1172 Casually Setting up an Formation, Is There Anything Chu Yunfan Doesn’t Know!

“That was a stupid suggestion. How am I going to do that?” Chu Xiujie rebuked. His eyes were flicked with a light but he soon figured that it was impossible.

Chu Yunfan and Chu Hongcai’s usual activity range was within Marquis Zhongxin’s residence. At most, they would only be active within Conglong City.

Even if he wanted to hire someone to kill the two of them, to make the other party attack Conglong City and Marquis Zhongxin’s residence under the tight security of experts, how many awesome experts would he have to hire? There was no need to even consider the Innate Stage. They would have to be at least above the Divine Abilities Stage.

Moreover, the price would probably be several times higher than usual. He felt his teeth ache when he thought of the possible price. Hiring Divine assassins to kill people in Conglong City would make him go bankrupt. He might not even be able to afford it so he might as well do it himself.

And he knew that was impossible.

“Let’s not talk about whether or not we can invite such an expert. Have you all forgotten how the previous princes died? Uncle and Grandma hate this kind of thing. Are you crazy?” Chu Xiujie immediately berated.

The others thought about it and agreed. The previous princes had all died at the hands of assassins. The entire Marquis Zhongxin household was too sensitive about this. If such a thing happened again, it didn’t matter how cleanly they did it. As long as they were suspected, they would be stripped of their qualifications to become the crown prince.

One could easily imagine how furious Marquis Zhongxin would be.

As for whether or not Chu Yunfan could escape from this kind of pursuit, they did not even think about it. Although Chu Yunfan’s kick that crippled Chu Yanghui was very brutal, it was also a fact that he did not have any true energy or divine power fluctuations. It was impossible for him to be in the Divine Abilities Stage. As long as he was not in the Divine Abilities Stage, it was impossible for him to escape.

“I can wait until he seeks his own death. Didn’t he say that he would let Chu Hongcai challenge me in a month? If anything happens in the arena, he can’t blame me,” Chu Xiujie said coldly.

“You are wise, Young Master Jie,” everyone said in unison.

The next morning, the Sun rose in the East and the Moon set in the West.

In the side courtyard, Chu Yunfan, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, was covered in morning dew. Suddenly, he moved slightly and his skin and flesh trembled at an amazing frequency. In an instant, all the morning dew was shaken off his body.

Chu Yunfan stood up. After a night’s cultivation, he had recovered some of his divine power. Although it was only a little bit—not enough to open the Mountain River Diagram—it was enough to open ordinary things like the spatial bag. Most importantly, with this foundation, his speed of recovery would not be constant but would get faster and faster.

After having a little breakfast, Chu Hongcai came to report. After a night of cultivation, he had stabilized his cultivation base, but his mood had not recovered.

“Brother Fan, I’ve consolidated my cultivation base,” Chu Hongcai said.

“Hmm, not bad, but it’s not enough. Come with me.” Chu Yunfan came to the surroundings of the courtyard, opened his spatial bag, and placed pieces of low-grade spirit stones around it, setting up a formation.

When the last formation eye was set up, the entire formation started to operate. Chu Hongcai instantly felt the spirit energy in the surroundings become dense.

The spirit energy in the Spirit Realm was very dense. Marquis Zhongxin’s residence was built in accordance with feng shui. The spirit energy here was ten times denser than outside.

However, after Chu Yunfan used several hundred low-grade spirit stones to set up the formation, the spirit energy in the area was several times denser than in Marquis Zhongxin’s residence.

It was almost comparable to a small sacred location.

However, other blessed and heavenly places were born with spirit veins, which could maintain a rich spirit energy for a long time. However, although the formation set up by Chu Yunfan had the effect of a small-scale blessed and heavenly place, it needed to consume spirit energy to maintain it.

“What a powerful formation!” Chu Hongcai looked at Chu Yunfan in shock. He felt that Brother Fan was even more mysterious than he had imagined. It was as if there was nothing he didn’t know.

“In the future, you will cultivate here. The speed of cultivation here will be faster than outside. Of course, this is just the foundation. To defeat Chu Xiujie in a month, this is far from enough,” Chu Yunfan said.

Chu Yunfan himself rarely set up formations like this, because he had a more brutal way of cultivation, which was to directly devour the spirit energy in the low-grade spirit stones. He did not need to use the formation to extract the spirit energy from the stones and release the spirit energy in a gentler way.

He usually just devoured the energy directly, which was much more efficient than converting it through an formation. However, this also had extremely high requirements for the cultivator. If Chu Hongcai followed Chu Yunfan’s method of devouring spirit energy, the only outcome for his entire body would be to explode and die.

“Remember where these spirit stones are placed. If I’m not around and the spirit energy in the spirit stones is used up, you can take one for yourself,” Chu Yunfan said.

“Understood.” Chu Hongcai nodded.

Not long after, An Xiuxiu, who was dressed in red, appeared outside the side courtyard. The moment she stepped into the side courtyard, she felt that the spirit energy in the entire place was so dense that it was almost impossible to disperse.

She even felt like he was immersed in Liquid Spirit Energy.

“What a powerful formation,” An Xiuxiu said in surprise.

Compared to Chu Hongcai, she was more aware of how amazing Chu Yunfan’s formation was.

Marquis Zhongxin’s residence itself was in a good feng shui spot, and in this spot, Chu Yunfan was able to find a clever way to break out of it and attract the spirit energy of Marquis Zhongxin’s residence over.

It must be known that the spirit energy in this formation was so dense not only because of the hundreds of low-grade spirit stones that Chu Yunfan had set up but also because it was a catalyst. Using these spirit stones to set up the formation, he guided the spirit energy in Marquis of Zhongxin’s residence to gather in this side courtyard.

An expert with a discerning eye would be able to see that this side courtyard was originally at the edge of the feng shui spot of Marquis Zhongxin’s residence and was the place with the least spirit energy. Now, a large amount of spirit energy was pouring into this side courtyard under the guidance of the formation.

“Cultivating in such a place is simply half the effort and twice the result.”

An Xiuxiu naturally understood the importance of spirit energy to cultivators. She was a little curious as to how much more skills Chu Yunfan was hiding. How could such a person not give off any clues before?

It was not easy to set up a formation, especially to draw spirit energy from the feng shui of Marquis Zhongxin’s residence. To borrow a chicken to lay eggs, one had to have extremely profound attainments in formations.
