Ch359 - Formal Alliance

Edited by Zaki

Half a month later, the Bu Sisters’ injuries were all healed, and the two sat together with the group to discuss cooperation.

“Alas, there are eight of you and only two of us, it’s not cost-effective for us to cooperate with you, right?” Seeing that there were eight people on Liu Mufeng’s side, Bu Sisi felt that the other party had a lot of people, and it wasn’t worthwhile for them.

“You can’t say that, although there are many people who will share the opportunity, there would also be many people who will defend against the demon beasts together, right? The specifications of this Golden Lotus Jade Pool is very high. In addition to the array, there will be other obstacles, also there might be more than one array. When there are many people in danger, we can face it together. Besides, there are many spiritual plants and medicinal lotuses in this Golden Lotus Jade Pool. If you are willing to cooperate with me, we can share the refined pills with you directly at that time. Also soaking in the Golden Lotus Jade Pool, it will be a two pronged approach to improve the strength. Moreover, only my Son and I are Alchemists here amongst so many people. If you cooperate with us, when the time comes, we will give you refined pills which have a much stronger effect than taking the spiritual plants raw.” Liu Mufeng explained the benefits of cooperation.

“Oh, we get a share of pills as well.” Hearing this, Bu Sisi thought about it, feeling very excited.

“Golden Lotus Jade Pool? Master Liu knows the name of that pool?” Bu Qingqing asked suspiciously, raising her eyebrows.

“I know. I understand the characters of the Stone Clan. The names and uses of the medicinal pools are written on the stone tablet.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng answered truthfully.

“You, you actually know the characters of the Stone Clan? You are really amazing.” Bu Sisi was filled with admiration for Liu Mufeng.

“Alchemist Liu is really knowledgeable and talented.” Bu Qingqing didn’t expect Liu Mufeng to know the characters of the Stone Clan.

“The two Fellow Daoists can think about cooperation. Don’t be offended, although both of you are sixth-level Array Masters, if you want to use your own strength to seize the Golden Lotus Jade Pool, you may not be able to do it. I read some history books of the Stone Clan. From it, I learned that the higher the level of the medicinal pool, the more powerful the guardian beast. This pool is a high-level medicinal pool, so the strength of the guardian beast will not be too weak. It may not be possible for the two of you to do it alone.” Liu Mufeng carefully helped them make an analysis.

“In order to ensure each other’s interests, we can draw up a contract, and the two parties will sign the contract.” Liu Mufeng had already thought about this. The Bu Sisters couldn’t trust them blindly, so they naturally didn’t trust each other very much. Therefore, it was very necessary to sign a contract.

“That’s it.” Bu Sisi looked at her older Sister Bu Qingqing.

“Alchemist Liu, May I know who will draft this contract?”

“The two parties will draft it together. Both parties can mention their own requirements, and if the other party does not object, they can write them in the contract.” Most of the contracts were drafted in this way.

“Okay, then us Sisters agree to cooperate.” Nodding, Bu Qingqing agreed.

After some negotiation, the two parties formally signed a cooperation contract. They formed an alliance and decided to seize the Golden Lotus Jade Pool together.

“This is the sketch I drew, and this is the inscription I translated. The two Fellow Daoists can take a look and see if it can help you break the array.” Liu Mufeng took out the sketches he had drawn these days with the detailed inscription deciphered, and handed it to the Bu Sisters.

After taking the introduction from the inscription, the two Sisters were dumbfounded. “This introduction is really good, isn’t it? Almost sounds like an exaggeration.” According to this introduction, this Golden Lotus Jade Pool was really a treasure pool that was like no other.

“I think this effect is exaggerated, right? Can it be so powerful? Even cultivators in the Spiritual Sacred Realm can improve their strength by soaking in this pool?” Bu Qingqing expressed doubts about this.

“Five million years ago, the Stone Clan Ruins was very, very popular, and many cultivators in the Spiritual Sacred Realm would try their best to come here. However, as time went by, the aura in the Stone Clan Ruins became more and more thinner. The level has also slowly degraded, from the level nine ruins to level eight, level seven, and now level six.” Liu Mufeng explained.

“Oh, that is to say, it’s not an exaggeration. Rather, we came late and didn’t catch the best time of the Ruins, right?” Jiang Xu asked seriously.

“Yes, that’s what it means. If you compare the Stone Clan Ruins to a person, then it is no longer a young man, but an old man who has aged. He has already passed the most handsome age.”

“I see.” Nodding, the Bu Sisters expressed their understanding.

“Although the actual situation of this Golden Lotus Jade pool is not as good as the inscription says. However, this medicinal pool is definitely more than enough for us cultivators in the Spiritual Emperor and Spiritual Profound Realms. Moreover, those spiritual plants and medicinal lotuses are also a good thing. It’s worth fighting for.” Liu Mufeng was very sure of this.

“Since this is the case, let’s study this array carefully.” After speaking, Bu Qingqing took out the blueprint of the twenty-three medicinal pools drawn by Liu Mufeng. “According to our observations in the past few days, we found that this array is the Stars and Moon Array, which is an ancient killing array. The level of this array is level six. However, it is a lot more powerful than ordinary killing arrays. Therefore, the difficulty of breaking it is also much higher.” Bu Qingqing frowned continuously.

“How long will it take to break the array?” Jiang Xu asked anxiously.

“Conservatively, it will take ten years at the earliest.” Bu Qingqing frowned.

“Ten years? Such a long time?” Hearing this, Bai Yunfei couldn’t help frowning. The faces of the others were not very good either.

“En, it’s very troublesome to break this array, that’s why I want to know whether this medicinal pool is of such great value, and whether it’s worth wasting ten years to break the array.” Bu Qingqing looked at Liu Mufeng. She knew that this group of people listened to Liu Mufeng, even the Young Master Bai Yunfei and the Wife of the Sect Master of the Lingwu Sect also listened to Liu Mufeng.

With his head down, Liu Mufeng thought for a long time. Slowly raising his head, Liu Mufeng looked at the Bu Sisters. “Two Fellow Daoists, I think breaking the array is not good for us. Do you have any other methods, without destroying the array, so that we can enter the center of the array and get close to the Golden Lotus Jade Pool?”

“Not breaking the array? Why?” Bu Sisi was very puzzled by this.

“Alchemist Liu is worried that we will be besieged by others when we are in an exhausted state, and will be robbed of the opportunity by other cultivators?” After thinking for a while, Bu Qingqing immediately understood Liu Mufeng’s worry.

“Yes. We only have ten people now and there are more than a hundred cultivators gathered here. We can’t face so many enemies, it is not good for us. Therefore, I don’t want the array to be broken, as this array can help us block the hundred people outside. After breaking the array, we will have to deal with the guardian beasts in the medicinal pool as well. If we don’t avoid the people outside, we will be attacked from the back and the front, and there will be no place to live.” When Liu Mufeng planned, he considered all the possibilities.

“En, Master Liu is right. If we want to deal with guardian beasts and those more than a hundred cultivators at the same time, we will definitely die, so this array really cannot be broken easily.” Nodding, Bu Qingqing agreed.

“The Stars and Moon Array is a killing array. The twenty-two outer medicinal pools are all connected to the killing array. Only the moon pool in the center is the Golden Lotus Jade Pool that Alchemist Liu mentioned, is the safest. If we don’t break the formation, it’s not impossible to reach the center.” Bu Sisi showed a mysterious smile.

“Oh? Do the two Fellow Daoists have a solution?” Liu Mufeng asked suspiciously.

“Of course there is a way. My Bu family has an ancestral array called Fusion Array, which can be fused with other killing arrays for teleportation. If we use the Fusion Array, we can directly enter the central area. Moreover, the time can be greatly shortened if we use the Fusion Array Technique, and with a little preparation, a month’s time is almost enough. However, the Fusion Array Technique can only take four people at a time. We have a lot of people here.” Bu Qingqing frowned deeply as she thought about the problem.

“It doesn’t matter, we can use the Array plates to collect the extra people. At that time, the two Fellow Daoist Sisters,XiaoXu and I, can go in together. For the others, I will use the Array plate to collect them in a trapping array.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng said that the number of people would not be a problem.

“Does Alchemist Liu have many Array plates?” Bu Sisi was very curious about this.

“I prepared some before coming to the secret realm. I was afraid that someone would suddenly need to seclude, so I had prepared some fourth-level Spiritual Source Array plates for everyone to use for seclusion. With this kind of Array plate, people who are in seclusion could be collected. It is more convenient to enter the array and take it with you.” Liu Mufeng replied with a smile. In fact, he prepared this kind of array to cover up his bracelet dimension. If he wanted someone in his family to retreat, he would put them into the bracelet dimension. If Bai Yunfei and the others asked, he would say that they were in the array plate.

“So that’s how it is. Master Liu is really thoughtful.” Smiling, Bu Qingqing felt that Liu Mufeng was really too careful, and even prepared this kind of Spiritual Source Array plate that few people bought.
