Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San said, "Using life energy to stimulate bloodline evolution is definitely the right choice. But there is a problem, which is whether the life energy is pure. The purer the life energy, the more beneficial it is to bloodline evolution. And this is where the Golden Tree excels. Now you don\'t think I wasted money buying these branches, do you?"

Zhang Haoxuan chuckled and said, "Are you holding a grudge? What you said is true though. I really hope it can grow up quickly. But I am also worried that its effects might be too strong. If the life energy is too potent, it could bring some unnecessary trouble."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "The reason I came today is to solve this problem. The Golden Tree has now entered a state of positive circulation. What we need to do is to help it grow faster. At the same time, we also need to conceal its aura to ensure that the life energy it creates doesn\'t cause trouble."

Zhang Haoxuan\'s eyes lit up, "A magic array?"

Tang San nodded.

Upon receiving his confirmation, Zhang Haoxuan\'s eyes instantly revealed a strong sense of expectancy. He had already mostly figured out Tang San\'s Spirit Gathering Formation, and the more he studied it, the more he was amazed. The interlocking rings of logic within it, the understanding of the forces of nature, and the delicate changes within the array far surpassed the magic array knowledge he had known. Seeing that Tang San was about to set up another formation, how could he not be greatly interested?

Tang San smiled and said, "I will need the teacher\'s help."

Zhang Haoxuan said, "No problem, what needs to be done?"

Tang San said, "Today, I\'m going to set up two arrays. One of them is an Illusion Array, mainly to conceal this valley. The Golden Tree is the core of the Illusion Array. It\'s already capable of creating Life Force, making it the perfect Formation Eye. The other array is the Devouring Heaven Formation. This formation is something I\'ve just figured out, and we\'ll only know how effective it is after we test it."

"An array you\'ve come up with on your own? Are you a monster?" Zhang Haoxuan\'s mouth twitched slightly.

Tang San said cheerfully, "Can\'t help it, extraordinary talent you know. You\'re not unaware."

Zhang Haoxuan said helplessly, "What use is my knowing, when I can hardly believe it. Let\'s get started then."

Tang San said, "First, we\'ll have to lay out the Illusion Array, so when we conduct the Devouring Heaven Formation experiment, we won\'t cause too much disturbance."

"What do I need to do?" Zhang Haoxuan asked.

Tang San said, "You\'ve mastered the Spirit Gathering Formation, haven\'t you?"

Zhang Haoxuan nodded, "Basically, there\'s no problem."

Tang San said, "Good, I need you to work with me to set up eighteen Spirit Gathering Formations here in this valley. I\'ll choose the right positions and determine the Formation Eyes. Another thing is, I\'ll need you to pay for some items necessary for the formations. Since we don\'t have the Golden Wood as the formation\'s heart, we\'ll need some other things to assist. Here\'s the list."

Tang San handed Zhang Haoxuan a list that had been written in advance.

Zhang Haoxuan glanced at the list and his mouth twitched slightly, "This won\'t come cheap—it\'ll cost dozens of Elemental Coins!"

Tang San smiled and said, "Out with the old, in with the new. Once you become proficient with the Spirit Gathering Array, you can specifically engrave some Spirit Gathering Formation Disks to sell. I guarantee you will make a fortune."

"Formation Disks?" Zhang Haoxuan looked at him puzzled.

Tang San explained, "It\'s about carving the Spirit Gathering Array onto a special type of metal so that the formation can carry it around, and the effect can be adjusted based on our needs. Generally speaking, the effect of a Spirit Gathering Array engraved on a Formation Disk is definitely less than one connected to the earth, but it\'s still effective. Afterward, in our academy\'s dormitories, everyone can use such Spirit Gathering Formation Disks to consolidate aura, which won\'t be inferior to cultivating at Jiali Academy. With such a great item to sell, do you think we could make money? However, I suggest not selling it on our side but letting the organization take care of the sales. It will be safer and more convenient, and we\'ll only be responsible for production. This will be your exclusive secret technique in the future, just say you researched it yourself. Our funding will be more comfortable then, and we\'ll be able to afford good items too."

Zhang Haoxuan\'s eyes shone brightly, "You are willing to sell the Spirit Gathering Array? The organization will benefit greatly from you..."

Tang San waved his hand with a smile, "The Spirit Gathering Array is nothing special, just an ordinary formation. Moreover, I will set an undisclosed mechanism inside that cannot be dismantled or comprehended—exclusive to our production. You need to tell the organization that they can only get this item from you; this will ensure a continuous source of income. In the future, you will be known as the Array Master of the Redemption Organization. We may even sell other items as well."

Zhang Haoxuan took a deep breath; in that moment, he felt his heartbeat quicken, knowing how beneficial it would be to sell such Spirit Gathering Arrays.

For the noble families among the powerful bloodlines of the Monster and Fairy Clans, such an item might not be much, as they also had their formation like the Spirit Gathering Array. But it would cost a great deal to create, and it was fixed in one place. The portability of the Spirit Gathering Formation Disk was too convenient. Besides, Spirit Gathering Arrays were never sold; such formations were owned only by senior academies and great nobles. The status of the Array Masters from the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan was revered indeed!

If they could sell these portable Spirit Gathering Formation Disks, the profits could be immense.

Seeing Zhang Haoxuan\'s excited face, Tang San said, "Teacher, I have one condition."

"Tell me," Zhang Haoxuan immediately replied.

Tang San stated, "First, the title of Array Master is yours. You must not tell anyone that I am behind the formations. I dislike trouble, especially from the organization."

"No problem, I\'ll cover for you," Zhang Haoxuan nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Tang San continued, "Secondly, you can\'t be stingy when it comes time to spend money. Also, we should keep at least half of the money earned from the Spirit Gathering Formation Disks, as I may need a significant amount of funds to support my ongoing research and development. You can\'t give it all to the organization."

"Alright, there would be no income without you. I will make it clear to the organization. Just say the production cost for these Disks is very high. When the time comes, try to use metals that aren\'t widely recognized," Zhang Haoxuan suggested.

Tang San looked into his eyes and couldn\'t help but see a few changes—his teacher was cunning, cunning indeed! With effortless shrewd maneuvers. And it seemed as if he had already guessed that the materials used for the Spirit Gathering Formation Disks wouldn\'t be expensive.

No wonder, since his previous Spirit Gathering Arrays were merely engraved on the earth, not using much of anything else.

Tang San added, "Third, let\'s aim for one year. We need to accumulate as much money as possible within a year. Then take a trip to the Ancestral Court to find some valuable items."

"You want to go to the Ancestral Court?" Zhang Haoxuan was shocked.

Tang San nodded, "From the auction in Jiali City, it\'s clear there are many treasures, and it seems that many of them are unrecognized. We\'re not going to buy the expensive stuff, but to find bargains. I also want to go to the Ancestral Court to see and learn more."
