Chapter 244: Chapter 0244: Spirit Stone Formation Plate

Long Fei saw that she did not agree, so he didn’t bring it up again.

No one knew what was inside the jade pendant; it was merely Long Fei’s speculation.

Lin Yingying was right. Should anything go wrong, the consequences would be irreversible.

Like the green spots on him, they still didn’t know what was going on with them.

Speaking of this, Lin Yingying suddenly noticed the green spots on Long Fei’s body.

It turned out he had come all this way just to save her.

Feeling somewhat guilty, she said, "Your green spots really aren’t a problem, are they?"

Long Fei shook his head, "For now, there’s no problem, but who knows about the future."

Lin Yingying gave him a worried glance as if Long Fei was about to turn into a demon.

Lin Shanshan complained, "Grandpa really should have taken more jade pendants. Both of you have one, but I don’t."

She looked at her sister with an expression that said let me have a try.

Lin Yingying and Long Fei both laughed. There were actually people vying to turn into demons!

If the jade pendant were given to her, she would definitely try it out.

Lin Yingying definitely wouldn’t let her take such a risk.

After rejecting this idea, Long Fei thought of another solution, "How about this, I’ll make you a few array plates. If you encounter danger, just open the array plate to buy some time. Even if I’m not around, you’ll be able to escape easily."

"What are array plates?"

The sisters asked in unison, their curiosity piqued.

Long Fei gave a simple introduction, "It’s something that can easily activate an array, briefly harness the energy in the space around us, and gather it."

Lin Yingying looked completely bewildered.

Seeing their confusion, Long Fei continued to explain, "Let’s put it this way, think of it as moisture. There’s moisture spread throughout the space here, but it’s invisible to the naked eye. As soon as you trigger the array plate, it can quickly condense this moisture into fog. Enemies in that fog will feel as if they are in dense mist. That’s what an array is, something that harnesses the energy of the heavens and earth."

"Oh!"

The sisters nodded blankly, seemingly getting a bit of an understanding.

Lin Yingying exclaimed in surprise, "How do you know all this?"

She found Long Fei increasingly enigmatic.

Not knowing how to explain, Long Fei simply brushed them off, "I read about it, it’s all over the internet, plenty of it."

"You’re just fooling us!"

The sisters didn’t believe a word he said, and stretching lazily, they stood up and said, "You research at your own pace, we’re going to sleep!"

"Brother-in-law, you can do it, I believe in you!"

Long Fei feigned misery, "Hey, aren’t you being a little thoughtless? I’m here working hard for you, and you have the nerve to go to sleep?"

Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan looked at each other and nodded, saying, "That does sound somewhat reasonable!"

"So we’ll sleep out here, that’d be keeping you company, right?"

Lin Shanshan proposed a solution.

Lin Yingying praised her, "That’s smart, truly worthy of being my sister!"

She cheerfully took a sheet and laid it on the floor, then spread a quilt on top and lay down with Lin Shanshan, saying, "How about this? We are right here with you!"

"Sure, you do that!"

Long Fei was internally exasperated, thinking to himself: I wanted you to make some food, brew some tea, not to keep me company sleeping!

He took out a bill, laid down on the coffee table, and got busy.

"The Myriad Formations and Runes Chart" was a comprehensive collection of formations and talismans, only Seven Stars Temple delved deeper into formations, so it put the myriad formations first and talismans later.

Both formations and talismans used a type of writing unique to the Daoist Sect, inscriptions.

Legend had it that these were the immortals’ characters for communicating with the heavens; in the ancient times, only those responsible for sacrifices understood them.

According to Long Fei’s understanding, these inscriptions were like the circuit on an electrical board.

The collection and circulation of energy were achieved through these patterns.

In fact, they weren’t really writing. It was the later generations who misunderstood, thinking these inscriptions contained mana.

According to the law of conservation of energy, there is no energy that arises without cause in this world.

Long Fei drew these formation patterns stroke by stroke on the paper, and tomorrow he just needed to find a carpenter to carve them onto a board.

Of course, the Array Plate wouldn’t gather and emit energy for no reason; it had to be propelled by an energy source.

That energy source was Spiritual Energy.

As the elder Gongsun Sheng contemplated, in the initial Desolate Era, Spiritual Energy was quite abundant.

Later, something happened, and the Spiritual Energy began to diminish, becoming nearly exhausted in modern times.

Fortunately, a fair amount of Spiritual Energy had condensed into minerals, also known as Spirit Stones, which were buried beneath mountains and earth.

Cultivators of later generations then relied on the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Stones for their practice.

The higher a person’s Cultivation Level, the more Spirit Stones they would consume.

From the pre-Qin era to the present, the Earth had witnessed countless experts, and some had even attained the legendary status of Immortal.

By now, the Spirit Stones had long been completely excavated by those who came before.

Aside from a few ancient Sects that might still have some in stock, these items were essentially nonexistent on the market.

The driving force of the Array Plate was neither batteries nor gasoline or diesel; it was these Spirit Stones.

In the wee hours, Long Fei completed the Formation Pattern.

A circular structure, with one intricate ring of patterns connecting to another.

Complicated and extensive, it looked insignificant but contained over a thousand patterns.

He rubbed his temples and put down the banknote.

The Array Plate was easy to make, but the Spirit Stones were difficult to find.

It was like having a car with no gasoline.

He got up, walked over to the water dispenser, and made himself a cup of tea while Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan were already sleeping soundly, snoring softly.

The temperature wasn’t cold yet, and they were only covered with a thin blanket.

Their slender, fair legs were exposed; one wore a pink sleep dress, and the other a white one.

The spaghetti strap style revealed a faint cleavage.

And the dresses were so short they barely covered their thighs.

Long Fei swallowed hard as he gazed at the two women.

Damn it, with two such stunning beauties lying before him, most men would find it impossible to resist.

He diverted his gaze and sat down, straightening the contents in his pants, and silently proclaimed himself a man of integrity.

Without Spirit Stones, he had to collect energy himself.

Although it wasn’t as potent as the pure energy from Spirit Stones, it was certainly enough to power a small Array Plate.

He took up the banknote and drew another Formation.

This Formation was called the Eight Trigrams Gathering Spirit Formation, which involved placing jade stones in a Eight Trigrams Array where Spiritual Energy was abundant.

By doing so, a magnetic vortex was created, tearing Spiritual Energy from the surroundings and collecting it within the jade stones.

The purer the jade stones, the more Spiritual Energy they would accumulate.

After finishing the drawing, Long Fei massaged his head, lamenting the hefty expense that was about to ensue.

Given the current prices of jade stones, the top-quality ones were astronomically expensive.

Long Fei opened his smartphone and browsed for a while.

Seeing it was getting late, he sat cross-legged and began to rest.

The Daoist practice of meditative cultivation, sitting in meditation for an hour, restored as much energy as an ordinary person would get from a whole day’s sleep.

As dawn broke, the sound of construction echoed from downstairs.

All three people in the room awoke simultaneously. Lin Yingying sat up, scratching her fluffy hair and yawning broadly.

Her pretty face was flushed, and her half-asleep appearance, tinged with laziness, was incredibly charming.

Lin Shanshan, on the other hand, was like a child nursing,

with her hand still not letting go even as Lin Yingying got up.

With a pull down on the spaghetti strap sleep dress, whoosh,

Long Fei stared blankly for a moment, then felt a warmth in his nose and couldn’t help but spray out blood.

Damn it, weren’t we agreed on no exposure!
