Chapter 264: Formation Deploynt
"Do you think this will work?"
Wang Hong took out a Jade vial, holding it with Spiritual Power, and offered it to the woman cultivator.
The woman in white reached out to take the vial, opened the lid, glanced at its contents, and then casually closed it.
"Resplendent Visage Elixir! If other female cultivators see this, they might be willing to trade their fortunes for it with a fellow cultivator."
Unfortunately, it's useless for . I don't have many years left, so what use do I have for this Resplendent Visage Elixir?"
Wang Hong hadn't expected that this seemingly young formation master was already nearing the end of her lifespan. She must be nearly two hundred years old!
No wonder she secluded herself. When a person is so close to death, what use do they have for worldly possessions?
The woman in white seed to guess Wang Hong's thoughts and added, "I have so injuries, though. If the fellow cultivator happens to have so high-quality healing pills, it's worth considering."
Perhaps even when facing death, she didn't want to be mistaken for an old hag.
As she proposed the exchange, the woman also offered an explanation to herself.
"I happen to be an Alchemist, and I have so healing pills on hand. Maybe there are so that would suit fellow cultivator Cai," he said.
Wang Hong took out three vials of pills and placed them in front of the woman in white.
Hearing Wang Hong's words, a hint of surprise appeared on the woman's face as she carefully examined the three vials.
"These three pills, while they are considered top-tier among second-tier healing pills, I've already tried them all, and they won't help my injuries," she said with so disappointnt. Over the years, she had tried countless types of pills, mostly second-tier healing pills, and had already taken them.
"Would fellow cultivator kindly take a look at this?"
Wang Hong looked at the serene and elegant face of the woman in white and felt a pang of sympathy. He took out a finely crafted Jade vial and presented it to her.
These were the pills he had refined for He Yuan's injuries, and there were still so left. They were made primarily from seven-hundred-year-old Jade Marrow Mushroom, and he had made significant improvents to the pill recipe, making them more effective than before.
The woman in white picked up the Jade vial and gently poured out a crystal-clear pill, holding it in her hand and carefully examining it.
She had never seen this type of pill before, so she had no idea of its effects.
"I don't know what kind of pill this is; I've never heard of it," she admitted. The pill looked beautiful like jade, but she wasn't an expert in this field and couldn't judge its quality.
"This is a new pill I've personally formulated. Its effects are better than other second-tier healing pills," Wang Hong said, being modest.
The woman in white couldn't determine the pill's quality and didn't know if Wang Hong was deceiving her, but in the end, she decided to trust him and agreed to the exchange.
Wang Hong once again led the woman in white to set up a formation in Mountain Valley.
Mountain Valley was surrounded on three sides by mountains, and the defensive formation extended to the peaks on all three sides. By utilizing the height of the peaks, it enhanced the defense.
As a result, the three peaks beca natural walls, and because the range of the formation increased, the amount of Spiritual Energy needed to activate the formation also significantly increased.
The valley entrance was still preserved as the entrance and exit for the Large Formation. Anyone entering or exiting the Large Formation needed to carry a specially made pass token; otherwise, they would be considered intruders by the Large Formation.
This formation had two operating modes. The first was the daily mode, suitable for tis of peace. In this mode, the Large Formation isolated the area, preventing outsiders from probing or entering without permission. It consud very little Spiritual Energy, relying on the two small Spirit Veins in the valley to maintain its operation.
The second mode was the defensive mode, used during tis of war or external threats. It would activate a protective shield to withstand external attacks.
This mode consus Spiritual Energy extrely quickly and requires a large supply of Spirit Stones. The exact amount of consumption depends on the intensity of the enemy's attacks.
It took a full seven days to set up this formation.
On the second day of the formation arrangent, Wang Hong delivered the promised healing pills to the woman in white.
That sa evening, she took one of the pills as she prepared herself for setting up the formation.
It was only then that she realized Wang Hong had not exaggerated when he claid that these healing pills were better than ordinary second-tier ones. In fact, he had been quite modest.
However, given the extent of her injuries, one pill wouldn't be enough.
Seven days later, the two of them, one in purple and one in white, stood at the valley entrance.
"Wang Daoist friend, the formation has finally been successfully set up. Currently, it's in the daily mode. I wonder if you are satisfied?" the woman in white asked.
"I'm very satisfied. Fellow cultivator Cai, you truly live up to your reputation," Wang Hong replied. Indeed, this formation was exceptional, even among second-tier formations.
"I'm glad you're satisfied. I have one more request, though, and I hope you can agree."
"Oh, I wonder what it is? If it's within my abilities, I will do my best to fulfill it."
Although Wang Hong didn't know the nature of the request, he had so guesses.
"Do you still have any of your healing pills? I would like to make a trade with you."
"May I ask what you intend to trade with ?" Wang Hong asked. Just like before, he wasn't interested in ordinary Spiritual Objects.
"I have a Breakthrough Realm Pill. Would you consider trading with ?" the woman in white proposed. She thought that Wang Hong, being an Alchemist, might not have this kind of pill, and even if he did, he wouldn't mind having more.
Wang Hong shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't need that kind of pill."
"I also have a thousand-year-old Spiritual Herb."
This was her last resort, sothing she never revealed to others. Besides, most Alchemists were passionate about Spiritual Herbs. Even a second-tier Spiritual Herb that survived for a thousand years would beco third-tier.
However, she didn't know that Wang Hong was currently contemplating how to sell off the thousand-year-old Spiritual Herbs in his Space.
"What kind of Spiritual Herb is it?" Wang Hong asked. If it was a rare species he didn't have, he might consider the trade.
"It's a thousand-year-old Frigid Star Grass."
"Unfortunately, it's a coincidence, but I also have a thousand-year-old Frigid Star Grass."
This type of Spiritual Herb was relatively common, but it was rare to find one that had survived for a thousand years. Wang Hong actually had more than a hundred of them.
"How about this? I'm very interested in the art of formations. What if you teach
about formations, and in return, I'll take care of your injuries?" Wang Hong suggested.
"Do you really have a thousand-year-old Frigid Star Grass?" She found it unlikely. Having one such Spiritual Herb was already impressive, but having the sa species was highly improbable.
