Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1007: Chapter 406: The Twenty-One War Swords, Million Spirit Stones, Exhausting the Power of Luo Tian_3

In the past Tianlan auction, merely a Second Order one appeared, and it was frantically competed for by everyone.

In the end, it was knocked down by the Zheng Family.

Unexpectedly, they were still not satisfied and actually bought another set of Third Order.

Zheng Xian naturally saw the covetous gaze of the others, but he didn’t care at all.

This thing was dispensable for him, merely a scarce item for the Zheng Family after all.

Moreover, Xiahou Kun would not dare to meddle with this item.

He didn’t care about how the others set up; instead, he called over several others to discuss how to exhaust the Luo Tian Creed’s Seven-color Array in batches.

...

When countless people in the outer world were guessing and spying,

Inside Danxia Peak, which had re-consolidated the seven-colored protective light curtain, it was bustling with activity.

Because of the skirmish at the foothill earlier, Luo Tian Creed’s Qi Refinement Cultivators who had suffered casualties in a short time were desperately treating the wounded.

There were Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang from the Law Enforcement Hall, leading people around the front lines,

Either comforting the injured or suppressing those with ill intentions.

Gu Caiyi led a large number of female cultivators, rushing through the mountains, replacing the array setting tools as instructed by Min Longyu.

Screech!

A sharp cry of birds rang in the ear, Yuan Xiaoyue curiously raised her head.

”Don’t worry about these, those are Spirit Beasts dispatched by Hall Master Xu to clean up the corpses of the enemies killed by Elder Min earlier.” Gu Caiyi glanced at the Second Order Plunder Feathered Hawk and explained briefly, then continued at an unhurried pace, ”After checking the array here, move on to the next one immediately, and remember to replenish the Spirit Stones completely, it can only be more, never less!.

”Yes, Hall Master!”

The charming voices of the women resonated together.

The female cultivators of the Golden Hall, who usually greet guests, were diligent in their work without any delay.

High above in the sky, a Plunder Feathered Hawk with a small tuft of golden feathers on its head overlooked the earth, swirling then flying into the summit of Danxia.

Thud!

A corpse fell, and the hawk lowered its head, offering the storage bag of the fallen to the woman in front.

The beak of the Plunder Feathered Hawk opened slightly, and from it came the hollow voice of Xu Huanzhen.

”President, the belongings of those ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators have all been collected.”

With a sweep of her sleeve, Sima Huiniang took all the storage bags into her possession.

She nodded slightly and stepped directly into the curiously shaped stone house on the summit, which looked like a spider web and a maze.

As soon as she entered, she saw a man in a black Taoist robe sitting with his eyes closed.

Colorful Danxia resembling satin ribbons fell from the sky, drawn and poured into the stone house.

Inside this space, the light was so bright and the aura so vast,

That it made the man in the black robe seem like a transcendent being enveloped in seven colors.

This man was none other than Min Longyu, the one in control of the Luo Tian Creed’s Mountain Protection Array!

As Sima Huiniang walked in, he slowly opened his eyes.

”I have lived up to the trust, repelling the first wave of attacks!”

Sima Huiniang nodded, ”We owe you a lot. Without your intervention, either our newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivators would have taken damage, or Wang Yuan and his group would have depleted their strength in battle.”

Min Longyu’s demeanor was indifferent, as if the previous arrogance of looking down on tens of thousands of cultivators and boasting of invincibility was not his own.

He simply said, ”All this is what I should do. Moreover, for this battle, I have already simulated it countless times in the Array Disk. Just now was merely the first practice.”

”It’s just a pity, those Great Cultivators are all cautious, not a single one entered the array.”

”Otherwise, I could have killed one or two first and intimidated the whole scene!”

These words flowed, calm and self-confident!

If heard by the countless cultivators outside, they would surely be shocked to their core.

A first practice that managed to array-slay ten true Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Such military exploits were already extremely terrifying.

Yet he was still not satisfied and even wanted to kill one or two Great Cultivators as a warning to others.

That was far too arrogant!

Perhaps, in the entire Luo Tian Creed, including Luo Chen himself, only Sima Huiniang, the one in charge of the whole situation, knew why he had such confidence.

There was no other reason!

””

This was no longer just the effort of Min Longyu alone.

The Seven-color Array could unleash such formidable power because it integrated the massive resources of the Luo Tian Creed.

When Wang Yuan returned from the battlefield of Accumulation Thunder Mountain that year, he brought back a complete magic item level Array Disk for Min Longyu.

Later, Chu Kui and Luo Chen returned consecutively, bringing with them the inheritance of dozens of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

The variety of resources within was colossal.

Especially the Flying Swords of magic item grade, most commonly used by immortal cultivators, there were as many as over thirty!

From those, Min Longyu selected twenty-one swords, each with different attributes, and buried them deep inside Danxia Peak.

Using these as the foundation, he constructed a new Array on top of the original Seven-color Array.

The Array at this moment had evolved beyond the initially conceived growth-capable defensive formation, turning instead into a killing Array!

Of course, such a grand slaying formation could not possibly be activated by the power of Min Longyu alone.

Therefore, Sima Huiniang took charge of the overall situation, mobilizing all manpower and material resources to perfect the Array for him.

The coming and going repairs by the Golden Hall Cultivators were just one aspect of it.

The hundreds of Cultivators from the Tool Casting Hall, who were now out of sight, were maintaining the basic operations of the Array at various Array Bases.

Beyond that, Sima Huiniang had also made a huge investment, taking out all the Spirit Stones accumulated over the years by the Luo Tian Creed in one fell swoop.

The amount was so staggering that even Golden Core Ascendant Masters would be green with envy!

A million spirit stones!

All the basic Array patterns were inlaid with Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

At important Array Base locations, Medium Grade Spirit Stones secretly exchanged from the black market over the years were used as the energy source.

And in this stone house, three layers inside and out were densely packed with Medium Grade Spirit Stones!

Even the three Ascendant Grade Spirit Stones that Luo Chen had treasured over the years were given to Min Longyu.

It could be said.

Every time Min Longyu activated the Array, he was squandering a vast amount of Spirit Stones.

Just now, the instantaneous killing of ten Foundation Establishment True Cultivators may have seemed effortless to outsiders, but only she and Min Longyu himself knew that in that brief period, at least three hundred thousand Spirit Stones were consumed!

The extent of resource depletion clearly showed how seriously the Luo Tian Creed regarded this battle.

Such a massive input of resources was something Sima Huiniang could not afford to lose.

Only victory, and a significant one at that, could make up for the Luo Tian Creed’s investment in this battle.

And how to achieve that victory was for her and Luo Chen to consider.

Now, as she came to the summit, she wanted to ask Min Longyu if there was anything else he needed.

To her inquiry, Min Longyu seemed to have had a plan all along.

”In battle, courage counts. Attack in full force at once, flag on the second, and exhaust on the third. They are depleted while we are replenished, hence we can conquer!”

”Their seizing of the initiative with two attacks was foiled by my defense and counterattack. Originally, if all the Foundation Establishment, including the eight Great Cultivators, had charged at the Array together, even if I could kill one or two, I wouldn’t have been able to handle the rest. But many who considered themselves clever hesitated and did not advance, giving me the chance to defeat them one by one.”

”Now, with my killing Array up front, they’ve already lost their edge.”

”What follows is just a war of attrition while at a standstill.”

”President, once we’re in a war of attrition, we’ve reached our initial goal, right?”

Sima Huiniang gave a slight nod.

”Indeed, the Chairman discussed with me to withstand the first wave of attacks as much as possible, so the casualties of the Luo Tian Creed could be kept within a certain range. And he would have more room to maneuver.”

”And a war of attrition...”

Both of them glanced over the many Medium Grade Spirit Stones scattered around the room.

Some of them had already turned into dust.

But most were still quietly embedded in the Array’s patterns, ready to contribute their power at any time.

Min Longyu confidently declared, ”Ten days! I can hold out for ten days!”

Ten days, huh?

Sima Huiniang blinked her eyes and took this reply back to the Luo Tian Grand Hall on the mountainside.

The four of them sat quietly, and a vast Water Mirror to one side was capturing the scenes from the surrounding ten miles and reflecting them within.

The person at the head, upon hearing the reply, showed a look of satisfaction.

”Ten days are enough!”

”After ten days, regardless of whether the enemy advances or retreats, we can launch a full-scale attack and settle this battle!”
