"Wei Chen, I have an idea, but it will require a significant cost to implement."
Musa hesitated for a while before speaking calmly.
He didn't want to be too absolute, as he wasn't sure what kind of wealth Wei Chen could actually muster.
However, he felt that Wei Chen harbored many secrets, and it shouldn't be too difficult for him to produce some wealth.
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen's eyes lit up. "Stop dragging your feet and get to the point. As long as there's hope with Last Chance, we can give it a try."
"Alright, I'll be straightforward. Formation Master, among our group, only you and Old Man Han Mang are qualified. But based on your proposed structure, such a grand formation cannot be accomplished by just the two of you. Therefore, we can't limit our focus solely on you two; we need to consider the entire Central Domain."
"What do you mean?" Wei Chen's eyes brightened.
"My meaning is simple. If you and Han Mang can't accomplish it in a short time, then we should invite Formation Masters from the Central Domain. If one isn't enough, let's bring ten; if ten aren't enough, let's bring a hundred or even a thousand! With enough Formation Masters present, we can quickly construct a complete defensive Formation System."
Musa paused for a moment and then added with a smile, "As for confidentiality, it's quite simple. Each external Formation Master can be assigned to a specific area to work on some Formation Arrays. You and Old Man Han Mang would only need to construct the large Formation Array. Ideally, you should connect those Formation Arrays into a massive Formation Array. This way, the confidentiality issue will be resolved; even if all those Formation Masters turn against us, they won't be able to breach our grand formation. I trust Han Mang's skills; he must have the ability to create such a large Formation Array that can connect the smaller ones together, right? Wasn't that how it was done back on Peach Blossom Island?"
Hearing this, Wei Chen thought for a moment and decisively said, "That's a good plan; let's proceed with it as you suggested. Han Mang definitely has that skill set. Even I can set up such formations myself; that's not something to worry about. As for the concern about Formation Masters turning against us, that won't happen. Each Formation Master serves their own interests; they wouldn't inexplicably unite to attack us at Peach Blossom Sect. However, one thing remains: how much will it cost us to invite so many Formation Masters?"
Thinking of this, Wei Chen's expression turned bitter as he said, "We don't have much money; our Soul Stones and Soul Jades are limited and likely insufficient to attract those Formation Masters from afar. You know that in every Cloud Spirit Sect, Formation Masters hold significant power and likely possess better resources than we do. Even if we exhausted everything we have, we wouldn't be able to invite that many Formation Masters."
His earlier good mood vanished in an instant. The challenges ahead were no joke. Gathering so many Formation Masters seemed impossible.
Musa smiled lightly and said, "That depends on how you operate things. Didn't you say that during Peach Blossom Sect's founding ceremony, Thunderstorm would personally attend? You could spread word about your relationship with Thunderstorm; that would enhance your reputation. Some Formation Masters might come just because of Thunderstorm's face—even for free."
"Moreover, Peach Blossom Sect is a promising Cloud Spirit Sect. Especially when you wiped out Jiaoleimen while in Maguan City—that's no small feat! Even I heard about it. The person beside you, Gu Yuehong, is an incredibly strong Peerless Strongman-level figure, and Donghua Master is exceptionally formidable as well. These are well-known facts throughout the Central Domain now; they can all serve as your leverage!"
Musa looked at Wei Chen with eager eyes and continued, "As long as you swallow your pride, you can summon a portion of the Formation Masters. If you offer some benefits, even more will come. For example, the favorite of the Formation Masters—blood from rare beast species. Items that are beneficial for refining formations, things that money can't buy."
"Beast blood? Right, how could I forget about that? There are countless beasts in Cang Mountain; surely there are those from the spatial category? If we can get their blood, I can't believe those Formation Masters won't be tempted!"
Wei Chen became thoroughly excited. He quickly found Han Mang and shared the plan he had with Musa. Old Man Han Mang was equally thrilled; if they could acquire that kind of beast, the Peach Blossom Sect's Cloud Spirit Sect would be incredibly solid. How could he not be excited?
He quickly listed some of the beast blood favored by the Formation Masters. Conveniently, most of the spatial beasts existed on Cang Mountain, ranging from Fifth-Rank Monsters to Nine-Tiered Monsters. The only regret was the absence of Tenth-Rank Monsters.
Tenth-Rank Monsters were the top-tier beasts in this realm. They might exist deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, but there wasn't enough incentive for them to settle in Cang Mountain.
However, those Fifth-Rank to Ninth-Rank spatial beasts were already sufficient.
Wei Chen and Han Mang joined forces to establish a large Teleportation Array at the foot of Cang Mountain, directly leading to its peak. The craftsmen brought materials through the Teleportation Array and arrived at the top of Cang Mountain. Following the blueprints drawn by Mu Yang according to the layout of the Ancient Spirit Academy, the craftsmen got to work enthusiastically.
The payment was ample, the benefits were sufficient, and they were spared the arduous climb. Most importantly, they could participate in building the recently renowned Peach Blossom Sect's structures—a bragging point once they returned down the mountain. With all these reasons combined, it was impossible for them not to give their all.
On another front, some caravans remained outside Cang Mountain's perimeter, quietly waiting for Wei Chen's summons.
Two hours passed, and they began to feel disheartened. It seemed like the people from Peach Blossom Sect were so extraordinary that they flew around using formations without needing their help at all.
"Hey, what are we still doing here waiting? What's the point? It seems like the people from Peach Blossom Sect don't need our assistance at all."
"Yeah, what can we possibly help with? They have everything."
"It's a pity; even a blind person can see that this time Peach Blossom Sect is preparing for something big. With such a grand operation and choosing such a great location, Peach Blossom Sect's potential is limitless!"
"Have you noticed? The beasts on Cang Mountain haven't made a sound at all. A long time ago, someone wanted to establish Cloud Spirit Sect on Cang Mountain, but just killing those beasts would require an extremely heavy price; they ultimately gave up. Yet it seems like Fire Sect's people haven't engaged in battle with those beasts; both sides can coexist peacefully?"
"Who isn't? Aren't we just ready to help the people of the Peach Blossom Sect hunt down some beasts, doing them a favor? But with the situation like this, their relationship with those beasts seems quite unusual. Why would they need our help?"
"Yeah, damn it! Are we just going to keep waiting here? I don't see any opportunity coming our way. We might as well leave and not embarrass ourselves here."
"Tch, if you want to leave, go ahead. This is a test of willpower. For a sect like the Peach Blossom Sect or Cloud Spirit Sect, if you don't have enough determination, don't even dream of joining. As for me, I'm ready to stick it out here. If the Peach Blossom Sect won't take me, I'll just stay here forever. I refuse to believe it."
"Exactly! Strong willpower can also move people. The Three Elders of the Peach Blossom Sect seem quite amiable and easy to talk to. Even if my talent isn't enough, my strong will should be able to impress them."
"Hehe, I'm thinking the same way as you. We're all here from afar, so let's be prepared to stick it out. I refuse to believe that there are only a few core figures in the Peach Blossom Sect. Do they really do all the cooking and cleaning themselves? They must need some support staff!"
"Are you kidding me? Haha! I'm Chef Liu, and I'm not joking around! My Soul Power Gift may be poor, but I'm great at cooking. In Daxing City, how many can cook better than me? This time I've prepared thoroughly; I've brought all my fellow cooks with me. Look at this—I've got all the kitchenware ready. Just give me a task, and I can start cooking anytime. I refuse to believe that the people of the Peach Blossom Sect don't eat and don't need a chef."
Everyone turned their gaze toward that fellow, and what they saw was astonishing—he had indeed brought almost an entire kitchen with him. It was no wonder that Chef Liu had some reputation in Daxing City; his confidence in being chosen by the Peach Blossom Sect made sense.
"Chef Liu, you're really something! But let me take a closer look; among us, your chances seem the greatest! When you become the head chef of the Peach Blossom Sect, don’t forget to say a few good words for me in front of those high-ups."
"And me too, Chef Liu! I've helped you make quite a bit of money; remember to speak well of me when you get there."
In an instant, Chef Liu became the center of attention. His actions sparked thoughts among everyone—joining the Peach Blossom Sect through normal means seemed impossible; they would have to take an unconventional route.
Just then, a figure appeared in their line of sight.
Quickly, that figure swooped down upon them.
The ghostly speed left everyone astonished. Among them were several Spirit Realm Experts who had seen their fair share of things, but witnessing that person's speed made them feel as if they had encountered a ghost.
Especially when that person spoke; their shock only deepened further.
"Chef Liu, is it? Very well, follow me up the mountain. From now on, you are a member of the Peach Blossom Sect. I hope you will serve the Peach Blossom Sect well and share both glory and hardship."
Chef Liu felt a rush of happiness overwhelming him. He was momentarily stunned before joyfully exclaiming, "Thank you, thank you, brother! May I ask your esteemed name?"
"I dare not claim such honor. My name is Wei Chen."
"Wei Chen?" Everyone was shocked, jumping in disbelief. The smiling young man before them was the one who had taken down an entire Cloud Spirit Sect faction of Jiaoleimen in Maguan City with a few companions?
"Stop dawdling. Bring your assistants; I'll take you up the mountain."
Upon hearing this, Chef Liu immediately called his helpers to pack up. Once they were ready, he felt a lightness enveloping him, and before he could react to what was happening, they found themselves at the top of Cang Mountain.
"Musa, these people are in your care. Build their quarters quickly so they can exert some effort."
Having completed this, Wei Chen hovered above the group and declared from his elevated position, "Our Peach Blossom Sect does not need useless individuals. If any of you have skills to offer, step forward. If it's what I need, I will take you up the mountain to become part of the Peach Blossom Sect."
"Wei Young Master, how about taking us up the mountain?"
As soon as Wei Chen's words fell, a teasing voice rang out. Wei Chen turned his head to see two beautiful women flying gracefully through the air, accompanied by a white-clad lady!
Elegant and Qingling?
