Moreover, this trade only involved asking for help in setting up the formation. All related materials for the formation had to be prepared by the Zhou Family themselves.

After hearing the other party’s words, Zhou Chun’s eyes flashed slightly as he responded, “Oh, let me take a look first.”

He then took the materials prepared by the Array Master of the You Family and began to review them.

The three options prepared by the Array Master of the You Family each had their own advantages.

Two of the formations were not much different from the “Five Directions Mirlo Array” on the Zhou Family’s Jiufeng Ridge in terms of power, but they were more focused on defense, with stronger defensive capabilities.

The remaining formation was extraordinary, a Forbidden Formation capable of withstanding attacks from cultivators at the Golden Core Stage.

However, setting up a Forbidden Formation not only required extremely high proficiency in formations from the Array Master but also involved a huge expense for the various materials needed.

After Zhou Chun finished reading, he immediately had some calculations in mind.

He set down the materials and, with a piercing gaze, asked the Array Master of the You Family, “Is this ‘Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation’ really as you, Taoist Friend You, have said, impenetrable by even Golden Core Stage cultivators once successfully set up?”

Upon hearing this, the Array Master of the You Family immediately replied with an air of arrogance, “It’s not just that Golden Core Stage cultivators would find it difficult to break through. If Taoist Friend Zhou can indeed find Yellow Dragon Stones of the appropriate size and refine nine Array Plates, gradually accumulating power, once the formation’s full potential is unleashed, an ordinary cultivator in the Golden Elixir Early Phase who doesn’t know the details of the formation might even be heavily injured!”

Hearing this answer, Zhou Chun immediately said, “The ‘Yellow Dragon Stone’ is a Dharma Treasure material for refining Dharma Treasures, and the amount of it that you, Taoist Friend You, require is too great. The Zhou Family might be unable to gather such a material in a short time. Can we start with substitute materials as a transitional solution until the Zhou Family can collect enough ‘Yellow Dragon Stones’ and then ask for your assistance to refine them into Array Plates and complete the formation?”

Although he himself did not understand formations, Zhou Chun also knew that most formation materials were not unique and could be replaced with other materials.

Using substitute materials, however, would significantly weaken the formation’s power.

But if it were possible to temporarily substitute other materials for ‘Yellow Dragon Stones,’ powerful Dharma Treasure materials, and get the ‘Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation’ up and running, he naturally had the confidence to gradually gather the materials and set up the authentic version of the formation later.

“Using substitute materials is certainly possible, but doing so will reduce the ‘Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation’s’ power to just about 30% of the original, and the scope of the formation’s protection will also be greatly reduced, only covering a dozen or so miles. It would be less effective than the ‘Five Directions Mirlo Array’ on your Zhou Family’s Jiufeng Ridge,” replied the Array Master of the You Family.

“Furthermore, if the formation encounters an overly powerful attack, even if it is not broken, many Formation Flags and Array Plates may be damaged, and then you’ll need to prepare new materials for them to be reforged.”

The tone of the Array Master of the You Family clearly showed skepticism regarding the usefulness of the simplified version of the formation.

After hearing this, Zhou Chun became even more determined and immediately shook his head, saying, “That’s not a problem. As long as it doesn’t involve spiritual materials such as Dharma Treasure materials, my Zhou Family can always find replacements.”

“Very well, since you insist on it, Taoist Friend Zhou, then I naturally have no objections,” said the Array Master of the You Family.

He then solemnly added, “However, I must inform you that currently within the You Family, only I have thoroughly comprehended and am capable of setting up this ‘Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation,’ and I have only about fifty years left of my lifespan. If you cannot find enough ‘Yellow Dragon Stones’ within this time period, then you will have to find someone else to set up a different formation when the time comes!”

“That is enough, fifty years is completely sufficient!” Zhou Chun nodded and confidently declared.

This made the Array Master of the You Family take a few more looks at him and then mutter softly, “They say your Zhou Family has been quite prosperous in recent years. It seems it is indeed true!”

Although the muttering was soft, Zhou Chun could hear it, but he acted as if he did not and just smiled without saying anything.

The development of the Zhou Family over the years was well known. No matter how much they tried to hide it, it was impossible to go unnoticed.

However, the Zhou Family was no longer an easy target, and even if people were curious about where exactly the Zhou Family had made their fortune, they dared not delve too deeply.

On the other hand, the Green Lotus Temple was aware that the Zhou Family had dealings with the Scale Frog Alien Clan of Dragon Abyss Marsh and that they had acquired an ‘Earth Origin Crystal Jade’ mine outside. Moreover, knowing that the Zhou Family had no cultivators at the Golden Core Stage, they were even less concerned.

“`

No matter how others speculated, as long as the Zhou Family did not respond and acted cautiously and prudently, such gossip could hardly shake the foundation of the Zhou Family.

After confirming the arrangements for the Mountain Protection Array, Zhou Chun immediately mobilized the manpower of the Zhou Family, arranging for the Elders to personally travel to the marketplaces of Jingguo Country and the surrounding neighboring countries to purchase the necessary materials.

Another reason that made Zhou Chun decide to choose the “Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation” was its requirement for a lot of “Earth Origin Crystal Jade,” which the Zhou Family just happened to have a surplus of in stock.

The supply agreement with Master Shanyang, a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage from the Green Lotus Temple, had already ended three years ago, and Master Shanyang no longer needed these Spiritual Objects.

Therefore, the Earth Origin Crystal Jade ores mined subsequently were all stockpiled in the Zhou Family Treasury.

Now they could be put to good use.

These Earth Origin Crystal Jade ores were also the last of the ores left, as the vein in Yang Kingdom was almost depleted. Lin Wan’er was still in Yang Kingdom simply because she was reluctant to leave the stronghold of Hongyu Peak that she had worked so hard to establish.

After all, that stronghold could generate several thousand Spirit Coins in income per year.

Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family did not oppose this either. The saying goes, a crafty rabbit has three burrows; the Hongyu Peak stronghold in Yang Kingdom might be far, but it might still play a role in the future, so it was good to continue maintaining it.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.

In these two years, the auxiliary courtyard at Tuyun Ridge of the Zhou Family was essentially completed. The simplified version of the Mountain Protection Array, the “Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation,” was officially activated. All kinds of buildings had been constructed, and some Demon Beasts initially kept at Jiufeng Ridge were relocated here, greatly reducing the burden on Jiufeng Ridge.

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun had also moved to Tuyun Ridge to cultivate, leaving Zhou Daoyi to continue presiding over Jiufeng Ridge, conveniently taking care of the Flood Dragon and the Green Flood Dragon in the Flood Dragon Nest.

By this time, Zhou Chun finally had a proper personal cultivation dwelling.

His dwelling was located at the spiritual eye of the Spirit Vein of Tuyun Ridge, a position even better than Zhou Mingde’s dwelling, being a valley that covered more than twenty acres of land on the mountain.

This valley was protected by the power of the “Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation,” and from the outside, one could only see a hazy yellow mist.

In fact, the mist did not exist at all; it was just that both the naked eye and the Divine Sense were deceived by illusion magic.

This was the power of the Forbidden Formation; each Forbidden Formation, regardless of whether its focus was offense or defense, would invariably include a variety of effects such as illusions, binding, transposition, and others, making it very comprehensive in use.

The valley was rich in Spiritual Energy, ideal for the cultivation of the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, which had dug itself a big pit in the corner of the valley, and most enjoyed lying in the pit covered with mud, slowly absorbing the earth elemental Spiritual Power to enhance its Cultivation Level.

Zhou Chun was also very dedicated to his first personal cultivation dwelling. Not only was his residence built by his own hands, but he also constructed dwellings for his Spirit Pets and Spirit Insects.

For instance, the Wood Charm’s dwelling was a thousand-year-old Spirit Pine, which Zhou Chun had exchanged with a certain family for a millennial Spiritual Medicine. This exchange was agreed upon only because the other family intended to form a good relationship with the Zhou Family.

Of course, Zhou Chun certainly did not reveal that it was for raising a Wood Charm; instead, he mentioned it was needed as a vital Spirit Wood to suppress the core of the Mountain Protection Array.

The others, such as “Mystical Armor Golden Feather” and “Flying Sky Fire Scorpion,” also had specialized insect chambers.

As for the Silver Lightning Python, Baibai, and the Golden Winged Tiger, they naturally had their own living spaces designed to their liking.

One day, while Zhou Chun was cultivating in his dwelling, he suddenly felt the Array outside the valley being triggered. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he discovered that the visitor was Zhou Daoyi, who presided over Jiufeng Ridge.

“Zhengchun, Hongyu has exited her seclusion,” said Zhou Daoyi as he entered Zhou Chun’s dwelling, smiling as he explained his arrival.
