100: Ambush Formation

"I want to open... the Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ore!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone snapped their heads toward Chen Fei, not expecting him to actually have such an idea.

Too bold!

Too courageous!

Too intriguing!

Yuwen Kang, who was about to leave, returned and pulled out his Dragon Bone Chair to continue watching.

How could he miss such a spectacular scene?

Even the manager, Zhao Yu, was slightly surprised by Chen Fei's bold words.

He hadn't expected that someone would finally take a crack at the Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ores that had been untouched for so long.

Zhao Yu called out loudly, "Someone, bring out the ten Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ores for Mr. Chen to choose from."

"The five items just now were valued at 45 million High-Grade Spirit Stones, and adding what was left from before, that's a total of 50 million High-Grade Spirit Stones."

"That's equivalent to Mr. Chen being able to open five Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ores!"

Zhao Yu's form of address for Chen Fei had changed repeatedly, and now he directly called him Mr. Chen.

This was an acknowledgment of his stone-gambling strength, as well as his financial power.

"Wow, he can open five. That's equivalent to a fifty percent chance. Opening one or two good things should be no problem at all!"

"Exactly, exactly. There's a high probability of getting a top-grade Spirit Treasure!"

"Could it be that we're going to witness a miracle today?"

Although they weren't the ones opening the Ores, they couldn't help but rub their hands in anticipation, as if they were the protagonists of the day.

Everyone was drawn to the Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ores, forgetting that Chen Fei still had an unopened Ore in his hand.

Specifically, that pale purple qi spirit ore.

Since that was the case, Chen Fei directly stored it into the Sacred Codex Space.

The Nine Heavens Enlightenment Willow was nothing but charcoal and hadn't been recognized, but this piece might be different.

It would be better to wait until he was free to open it slowly.

"Wu Yun, which ones were the ones you said were filled with purple qi?"

Wu Yun took a few looks and then raised a small paw. "Meow~ The 2nd, the 6th, and... the 9th."

Just three!

Chen Fei had thought there would be several; now it seemed that betting 50 million High-Grade Spirit Stones was a bit too much.

"In that case, I'll open four. With the remaining 10 million High-Grade Spirit Stones, I'll redeem the Three-Turn Frost Demon Gu."

The Tengyun Mammoth was a Tank Class Yao Beast, which wasn't of much use to Chen Fei's Assassin Class.

The S-grade Rock Class beast pet egg wasn't even as strong as the Black Obsidian Giant Rhinoceros.

As for the Pink Ice Crystal and Nirvana Liquid, there was a high probability he wouldn't need them either.

Only the potential of the Three-Turn Frost Demon Gu could make Chen Fei's heart skip a beat.

However, he didn't plan on forming a contract with it; it would just be an alternative or raised as part of his second-tier team.

After all, its abilities overlapped quite a bit with Little Gu's.

Having made up his mind, Chen Fei began to feign hesitation, walking back and forth in front of the ten spirit ores.

"Let's open this one first!"

This one had orange-red qi; he was just doing it for show.

Zhao Yu responded, "Alright, then we shall do as Mr. Chen says and start with this Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ore."

"Please invite the Blade Ghost Mantis King over!"

The material of the Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ore was much harder. With the Blade Ghost Mantis's ability, it could only grind it down slowly and couldn't cut it directly.

Therefore, they brought in the evolved form of the Blade Ghost Mantis.

The Blade Ghost Mantis King's appearance was even more ferocious and handsome. The antennae and horns on its head were like a crown, incomparably noble.

Under its sharp claw blades, the outer skin and jade-like substance of the Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ore were as brittle as tofu.

Soon, a section of wood was revealed.

Kong Simiao recognized it with just a glance. "This is Immortal Soul Wood. It has many benefits for nurturing and strengthening the Soul."

"More importantly, if handled correctly, it can enhance the power of a Soul System Yao Beast's Soul skills."

"Of course, this is only a section and not a complete Immortal Soul Tree, so it's a one-time consumable."

"Furthermore, it's only effective for lower-tier Soul System Yao Beasts. For a Level Five Yao King, it's of little use; otherwise, its value would be even higher."

"It can still be considered a decent Spirit Treasure, worth 6 million High-Grade Spirit Stones."

The others all sighed inwardly, thinking it was a pity.

"On the first spirit ore, he lost 4 million High-Grade Spirit Stones."

"It's normal. They're called Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ores, but the probability of them being good Ores is only ten or twenty percent higher."

"Don't look down on that ten or twenty percent; it represents a higher ceiling."

"I wonder if the young man will continue or cut his losses now?"

To others, Chen Fei had lost money.

But to Chen Fei, this section of Immortal Soul Wood was more effective than that Earth Emperor Green Fire or the Pink Ice Crystal.

Chi Yu itself lacked the strength for a one-hit kill.

If he used this section of Immortal Soul Wood on the [Soul Suppressing Cage], it would surely greatly increase the suppression force.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei's mood was quite wonderful as he directly stored it into the Sacred Codex Space.

Next, it was the turn of the true purple qi Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ore.

He would follow the order and start with the second spirit ore.

As the Blade Ghost Mantis King cut down stroke by stroke, the surge of Spiritual Qi did not appear.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, it actually turned out to be another Top-Grade Spirit Stone, and it was even the kind with no carved patterns on the surface.

Never mind Chen Fei, even the others were starting to get a bit frantic.

"A Shop-stabilizing Spirit Ore only yielded one Top-Grade Spirit Stone? This is such a rip-off!"

"Is it possible that, like last time, there's some kind of amber or something inside?"

"Unlikely. The Blade Ghost Mantis King cut it very thin; it couldn't have missed a single spot."

Chen Fei didn't believe it. Could a purple qi spirit ore really be as simple as a single Top-Grade Spirit Stone?

It wasn't until Chen Fei picked up this Top-Grade Spirit Stone that he discovered its extraordinary nature.

It contained Formation patterns, but these patterns were semi-transparent and almost invisible. If Chen Fei hadn't been so close, he wouldn't have noticed them at all.

Furthermore, some special method had been used to engrave the Formation patterns into the Spirit Stone, making them look natural and divine.

He himself fell into a special environment.

He could feel killing intent from multiple directions. No matter which way Chen Fei turned, that killing intent still faced him, as if there were no blind spots in 360 degrees.

He tried to take a step and found a large cloud of poison mist rushing madly toward him, with a large number of hidden weapons mixed within the mist.

Before Chen Fei could truly react, his consciousness returned to reality.

Clearly, he hadn't dodged the attack and had already died once in that special environment.

At this moment, the information for this Top-Grade Spirit Stone appeared before Chen Fei's eyes:

[Ambush from Ten Sides Formation Array Stone]

[An array stone engraved by a master of Formations, which can be used by future generations to learn Formations.]

[One only needs to inject Spiritual Qi to activate the special Formation environment within (it has no real lethality, only for comprehension purposes).]

[Within this array stone, there are Ambush from Ten Sides Formations of various proficiency levels.]

[Entry-Level Formation: An assassination killing Formation composed of 6 directions: up, down, east, west, south, and north, forming a closed space to surround the enemy, gradually weakening the enemy's strength and taking their life.]

[proficient level Formation: Increased to the 36 Heavenly Dipper directions.]

[Mastery Level Formation: Increased to the 72 Earthly Fiend directions.]

[Peak Formation: Increased to the 108 Constellation directions.]

[Flawless Grade Formation: 360 degrees with no blind spots!]

[Note: This is an assassination Formation; it can be learned!]

[Furthermore, it can be combined with the abilities of a beast pet.]

Seeing the information on this array stone, Chen Fei couldn't help but catch his breath...
