Dragon Crystal Formation? That's 60% of the power of comprehension!

"Using Formations to replace manual labor?!"

"May I ask who this is?"

Xuan Chen was suddenly stunned. He looked at the pretty young girl who had been following Lin Xiyue and was now blinking her large eyes.

He had a faint inkling of her identity, and his breathing couldn't help but quicken slightly.

"Daoist Master Xuan Chen, let me introduce them to you."

Lin Xiyue stepped forward with a beaming smile, pointing at Gu Zhiyun and Li Fan beside her.

"This is the Array Grandmaster, Miss Gu Zhiyun."

"She is our other foreign instructor, specifically responsible for guiding the construction of our Great Xia's Formation system."

"And this young man next to her carrying a sword is named Li Fan, who is also a foreign instructor."

"However, his focus is on swordsmanship; he is Great Xia's Chief Swordsmanship Instructor."

Lin Xiyue revealed both of their identities in one breath.

"An Array Grandmaster and a Swordsmanship Grandmaster?!"

"Hiss... I didn't expect them to be so young!"

"It really makes us old fogies ashamed; at our age, it feels like we've lived our lives in vain!"

After hearing this, Xuan Chen couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

In his view, those who could be called Grandmasters were figures who had reached the pinnacle of their respective Domains.

The two people before him looked even younger than Su Qinghan, yet they already had such achievements. They were simply prodigies!

"Eh, no, no!"

"I can't be considered an Array Grandmaster yet!"

"I only know a little, just a little!"

Upon hearing this high-sounding title, Gu Zhiyun waved her hands repeatedly in a panic, her pretty face flushing slightly as she felt very embarrassed.

Although she was a Genius in the Cangxuan Great Realm, she was still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from being a true Array Grandmaster!

If other Formation Masters heard this, wouldn't they laugh themselves to death?

As for Li Fan, hearing himself hailed as a "Swordsmanship Grandmaster" made him so ashamed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Was this a joke?

Him? A Swordsmanship Grandmaster?

He had watched Lin Xiyue's display of splitting a mountain with one sword strike with his mouth hanging open the entire time; his jaw was still a bit sore even now!

As a fellow Sword Cultivator, he knew the value of that strike all too well.

Lin Xiyue's comprehension of Sword Intent was hundreds of streets ahead of his!

Moreover, Elder Jian had mentioned before that this girl possessed more than one type of Sword Intent!

What did this represent?

It meant that Brother Mo's sister was just like Brother Mo—a peerless Prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years!

Yet even such a person didn't claim to be a Swordsmanship Grandmaster.

With his mere 20% Sword Intent, how could he have the face to accept this title?

"Seniors, you're overpraising me, truly overpraising me."

"I have only just touched the threshold of Sword Intent; I absolutely cannot be called a Swordsmanship Grandmaster."

"If we're talking about swordsmanship attainment, Miss Xiyue's transcendent sword strike is the true mark of a Grandmaster, far surpassing me!"

"I came here with a learning mindset, hoping to contribute my meager strength to Great Xia."

Li Fan cupped his fists with a bitter smile, his tone sincere.

"Haha, Little Brother Li, don't be so modest."

Seeing Li Fan's extreme modesty, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but laugh.

"You have the Protagonist Template with a portable Old Grandfather."

"You definitely have a bright future! I have high hopes for you!"

"Uh... Miss Xiyue, what do you mean by that?"

Li Fan was a bit dazed and scratched his head.

He didn't understand the memes "Protagonist Template" or "portable Old Grandfather" at all.

But that didn't stop him from feeling that she was praising him.

"Heh, it's okay if you don't understand now; you will in time."

Lin Xiyue smiled mysteriously, not dwelling on the topic.

After all, the current priority was to solve the problem of mass-producing medicinal herbs!

"Xiao Yun, can you tell us more about your idea?"

Lin Xiyue turned to look at Gu Zhiyun, giving her a look that said 'it's your turn to show off.'

"Ahem..."

Receiving the signal, Gu Zhiyun immediately cleared her throat, put her hands on her hips, and her face beamed with confidence.

"From what you meant just now, Great Xia's current method of accelerating herb growth is very difficult and inefficient."

"You're even still using the most primitive manual casting?"

"That's too backward!"

Gu Zhiyun extended a finger and shook it gently.

"But since I'm here, this matter will be easy to handle!"

"My method is simple: set up a Spirit-Gathering Growth Formation directly in your Medicine Fields!"

"Once this Formation is running, it can automatically gather the surrounding Spiritual Qi and convert it into the gentlest life force, continuously nourishing the herbs."

"When that time comes, you won't have to worry about a thing!"

"You just need to sow the seeds, and leave the rest to the Formation!"

"Those herbs will grow like crazy, like weeds, and you won't be able to stop them!"

"Really... really?!"

Hearing this, the eyes of Zhang Qingfeng, Xuan Chen, and the others instantly lit up like lightbulbs.

"Of course it's true! But there's also a difficulty in this."

Gu Zhiyun changed the subject and raised a key issue.

"That is... one cannot make bricks without straw!"

"To set up the Formation, I need to find suitable Materials in Great Xia."

"And most importantly, do you have Spirit Stones here?"

"While this Spirit-Gathering Growth Formation can automatically absorb Spiritual Qi, having Spirit Stones as the Formation eye to provide a pure energy source during the startup and maintenance phases would make it several times more effective and easier to set up."

She looked at everyone with a bit of concern.

After all, she had seen that although this world had some miraculous 'technology,'

it was truly so barren in terms of cultivation resources that it could make one weep.

"We don't have Spirit Stones."

Lin Xiyue shrugged and answered very bluntly.

"Ah? No Spirit Stones?" Gu Zhiyun's small face instantly fell. "Then this..."

"But, we have Dragon Crystals!"

Lin Xiyue added with a grin.

"Dragon Crystals?"

"What are those?"

Gu Zhiyun was completely confused; this term was very unfamiliar to her.

"It's too troublesome to explain."

"Let's go, strike while the iron is hot. Let's just go do some field research right now!"

Lin Xiyue was a woman of action and didn't feel like wasting words on explanations.

She decided to take Gu Zhiyun directly to see the real thing and then go to the Medicine Field for a field experiment!

After all, once Gu Zhiyun could truly succeed in setting up that Spirit-Gathering Growth Formation,

Great Xia's medicinal herb supply crisis would be completely resolved!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiyue pulled Gu Zhiyun and walked out briskly.

Seeing this, Li Fan and Su Qinghan naturally followed closely behind.

"Ahem..."

Watching the backs of the departing group, Xuan Chen's eyes darted; he also had an idea.

He coughed twice and said with a stern face to the Old Daoist Priests behind him:

"This matter is of great importance! I will follow the Little Ancestor to see if I can help."

"Qingfeng, you lead everyone to continue refining pills here!"

"Strive to refine a few more batches of Grade 2 Pills; don't embarrass us!"

After saying that, he slipped away, finding a random excuse and following them directly.

He was extremely curious about that so-called Formation!

"Ah, this..."

Zhang Qingfeng was dumbfounded as he watched Xuan Chen's vigorous retreating figure.

"Junior Martial Uncle Xuan Chen, I want to go join the fun... I mean, go learn too!"

"Why leave me here to watch the furnace?!"

His old face darkened, and he was quite angry in his heart.

However, his eyes darted as he had a brainstorm, and he immediately turned to the remaining Old Daoist Priests and said righteously:

"Well, Fellow Daoists."

"I am now a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and my cultivation is decent."

"I've thought about it; setting up the Formation this time might require a large amount of spiritual power, so my presence should be of great help to the Little Ancestor."

"So, the heavy responsibility of Alchemy is entirely entrusted to all of you!"

"I'm going to serve the Little Ancestor hand and foot!"

"Keep it up! I have high hopes for you!"

Before his voice could even fade, Zhang Qingfeng, as if afraid of being pulled back,

exerted all his strength and dashed out to give chase.

That speed was simply faster than a rabbit!

For a time, in the massive research lab, only a dozen or so Old Daoist Priests were left looking at each other, standing bewildered in the wind.

"Infinite Longevity!"

"These two... are really damn unfair!"

"Running faster than rabbits and dumping all the work on us?"

Everyone cursed in their hearts, but they had no choice but to continue guarding the Pill Furnaces with bitter faces... Soon, Lin Xiyue led Gu Zhiyun to a heavily guarded warehouse.

Large quantities of various Ores were stored here, along with mountains of crimson crystals.

"Here, Xiao Yun, these are Dragon Crystals."

"See if these things can replace Spirit Stones?"

Lin Xiyue pointed at the pile of fiery red crystals emitting a warm aura and said to Gu Zhiyun.

"Whoa, Fire Attribute Heaven And Earth Treasures?!"

Gu Zhiyun looked in the direction of her finger, and her eyes suddenly widened.

"You actually have such good stuff here?!"

She quickly stepped forward, picked up a Dragon Crystal, placed it in her palm, and closed her eyes to sense it carefully.

A moment later, she snapped her eyes open, her face filled with surprise.

"Mhm... the purity is amazing!"

"The Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi contained within is also very abundant!"

"If used to set up certain Fire Attribute attack Formations, the effect would definitely be excellent!"

"As for whether it can act as a Spirit Stone to set up the Spirit-Gathering Growth Formation..."

Speaking of this, Gu Zhiyun pondered for a moment, her brow furrowing slightly as she seemed to be considering the feasibility.

Spirit-Gathering Growth Formations generally require non-attribute Spirit Stones to drive them; using such strongly Fire Attribute Materials could easily lead to an imbalance of Spiritual Qi or even burn the herbs.

But soon, her brow smoothed out, and a confident smile curled on her lips.

"Hmph, if it were before, I might not have been sure."

"After all, attribute conflict is a major problem."

"But now..."

She lifted her chin proudly, her eyes sparkling with the light of wisdom.

"I am a peerless Formation Genius with a 60% Comprehension Ability bonus!"

"I just need to slightly modify the Formation pathways and add a few Attribute Conversion Runes, and it can be perfectly resolved!"

"I can even use the principle of Fire Generates Earth to make the Medicine Field's soil even more fertile!"

"Tsk tsk, Sister Yue, just you watch!"

"I'm definitely setting up this Formation!"
