86: Is this reasonable?
"Third Brother!!!"
"Patriarch!"
Xie Sandao unleashed a full-power strike, forcing Ku He back.
He embraced the heavily injured Peng Heng.
But he found that Peng Heng had already fallen unconscious, his life hanging by a thread, on the verge of death.
He shoved Medicinal Pills into his mouth as if they were worthless.
Bai Yongxiao, the second brother, seized the opportunity to escape the battlefield, and from a distance, he began to wail loudly: "Roar! Third Brother, my brother!"
"Shut up, Third Brother isn't dead yet!" Xie Sandao roared.
Even Ku He's figure suddenly stopped.
He looked at the Xiao Clan's grand Formation, his expression shifting between light and dark, wondering what he was thinking.
What a powerful Formation!
Troublesome!
He hated such surprises.
He wanted the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the Xiao Clan must be destroyed, and Xiao Qingyuan must die!
No one had expected the Xiao Clan Immortal Family's protective grand Formation to be so strong.
It was no joke; all the Formation Flags and Formation Plates sold in the market had been acquired by Xiao Qingyuan and applied en masse to the two protective grand Formations.
They formed two independent yet overlapping nested Formations.
Especially since they had chosen to invade in the direction of Xiao Qingyuan's home.
They faced the strongest directly.
Naturally, they ended up with blood all over their faces.
This was even with a considerable portion of the Formation taken to Spoon Mountain.
Otherwise, the Formation's effect would be even more terrifying than it was now.
And the faces of the Xiao Clan Members within the Formation also turned from surprise to wild joy.
Eldest Cousin smiled and approached his father, just about to speak.
However, Xiao Yanzhao, with a very solemn expression, reprimanded him: "Don't relax. Although the Immortal Clan's Formation is unexpectedly strong, how many times can the Spiritual Spring, which serves as the Formation's core, withstand?"
"You quickly lead people to bring all the Spirit Stones and give them to Seventeenth Brother's wife. Hurry!"
"Oh, oh, oh!" Eldest Cousin instantly snapped back to attention upon hearing this.
Xiao Yanzhao's words hit the nail on the head.
The core of the original protective grand Formation was the Spiritual Spring in Xiao Tianheng's backyard.
And the Formation here, set up by Xiao Qingyuan, was new.
It used an independent Formation core.
Upon realizing this, cold sweat broke out on Xiao Yanzhao's back.
"Oh, I'll go myself!"
He quickly found Xiao Yance and spoke rapidly: "Second Brother, quickly take us to Qingyuan's courtyard, to supply Spirit Stones to the grand Formation.
This child has set up so many Formations at once; how can the Formation core sustain it?
Quickly send these five hundred Spirit Stones into the spring eye.
Any later, and it will be too late."
Xiao Yance's expression also became solemn upon hearing this. In reality, he didn't know the condition of the Formation core in Xiao Qingyuan's backyard either.
The two quickly found Zhao Guanyin.
However, Zhao Guanyin's expression suddenly became strange.
"Father, Elder Uncle, this... my husband has quite a lot of Spirit Stones in the spring eye."
Zhao Guanyin spoke truthfully.
"Nonsense! How can you be so complacent at a time like this?
No amount of Spirit Stones in the Formation core is too much." Xiao Yanzhao was extremely anxious: "Now is not the time to adhere to rules. If it really comes down to it, have Yang Yan accompany you into the backyard. Here are five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones; quickly put them into the spring eye."
"Oh, Elder Uncle, you've misunderstood, alas..." Seeing this, Zhao Guanyin found it difficult to say more.
She could only lead everyone to the backyard to check.
As soon as everyone entered the backyard, they immediately felt something was very wrong.
"This feeling... Spirit Field?"
Eldest Cousin was the first to be dumbfounded.
He knew that when Xiao Qingyuan was young, he had built himself a nice courtyard.
He had even dug an artificial lake.
He only knew it was beautiful.
For Immortals, it was not as attractive as a regular Immortal Cave for Cultivation.
But looking at it today, good heavens.
Xiao Qingyuan had transformed the entire mansion, including the underground of the backyard, into a Spirit Field.
Even the depths of the lake bottom were not spared.
Xiao Qingduo looked at the stone slabs under his feet. "Yes, they are stone slabs, right?"
"It's not a medicinal garden!"
Eldest Cousin smacked his lips.
He thought to himself, 'Good heavens, you set up a Spirit-Attracting Formation but don't grow anything, just to play around, right?'
He suddenly became strange.
He glanced at his sister-in-law in front of him.
She used a Spirit Talisman just now, didn't she?
Aside from the one he gave her, weren't all his other sisters-in-law Mortals?
How did even the twin sister who came as a bonus now have magical power?
Is this right?
And if he wasn't mistaken, these things were most likely prepared for them, right?
With this concentration of Spiritual Qi, even a pig could Cultivate into a demon, he feared?
Elder Uncle Xiao Yanzhao was the second to be dumbfounded.
Even Xiao Yance's mouth twitched.
They saw that in every courtyard, visible to their eyes, many Spirit Medicines and Spirit Bamboos were planted.
They weren't planted for use; it seemed they were merely for decoration.
There were also many tea trees, which Xiao Tianheng treasured like his lifeblood, and in even greater numbers.
They were casually planted nearby.
Some Spirit Medicines were even planted as ornamental trees.
They weren't for use, but rather the good-looking ones were kept as flowers.
Tsk, tsk... this was simply a grand display of wealth.
The unaware Elder Uncle suddenly thought of something, and a sense of foreboding grew stronger in his heart.
This Qingyuan fellow, could he really be the culprit who attacked the market, robbed the Town-Suppressing Captain's treasures, and plundered military supplies, as those outside said?
Zhao Guanyin didn't understand the meaning in his expression, but she still said somewhat shyly and softly: "My husband said... he said many things here can't see the light of day.
Anyway, they're just sitting there..."
Planting for fun.
Halfway through, Zhao Guanyin herself couldn't continue.
The last three words simply wouldn't come out.
She quickly led everyone to the courtyard where the spring eye was located.
As a result, everyone looked.
They collectively fell silent again.
They were directly frozen on the spot.
They saw that in a seemingly inconspicuous well, upon closer inspection, countless Spirit Stones were densely packed at the bottom of the well.
They didn't know how deep the well actually was.
But they did know that with so many Spirit Stones down there, the water at the wellhead was almost overflowing.
Xiao Qingduo smacked his lips for the second time.
He casually scooped down with a bucket, as if drawing water, and a small pile of shimmering Spirit Stones was brought up.
"Hey! Seventeenth Brother's wife, if you didn't say anything, I would have thought this well was filled with Spirit Stones!"
"No, is it convenient for our brother to draw water usually?"
Zhao Guanyin's face flushed.
She didn't know how to respond.
In fact, she was also quite helpless about Xiao Qingyuan's actions.
Now, her family hadn't used Spirit Stones for Cultivation for a long time.
Xiao Qingyuan gave them many Spirit Stones, but they were all used for buying things.
They all Cultivated the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon, and taking Medicinal Pills was much faster than absorbing Spirit Stones.
Since they Cultivated their Bloodline, they detoxified quickly and didn't have to worry too much about Medicinal Pill toxins.
Coupled with Xiaobai's increasingly good cooking skills, the effect was almost the same as Cultivating with Spirit Stones.
Her Realm had already broken through to the seventh layer of Qi Condensation.
Xiaobai was also almost there.
If it weren't for recent events, Xiao Qingyuan would have even thought of buying some excellent varieties of Spirit Fish to raise in the lake!
Saying it out loud would probably cause another commotion, so after thinking about it, she didn't say more.
However, seeing Eldest Cousin not show any jealousy besides a sigh of relief, a smile reappeared on her face.
Xiao Yanzhao looked at the five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his hand.
Then he looked at the dense layer at the bottom of the well.
He suddenly fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.
"Niece-in-law... tell Elder Uncle the truth, Qingyuan... he wouldn't really be the mastermind behind the market attack, would he?"
Zhao Guanyin was startled upon hearing this: "Absolutely not!"
She looked innocently at Xiao Yance, her eyes full of a plea for help.
Xiao Yance suddenly coughed twice: "Elder Brother, I can guarantee that the market incident has nothing to do with Qingyuan."
Xiao Yanzhao breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.
However, the next second, the breath he had just let out was drawn back in again.
"He snatched them from a rogue cultivator."
Xiao Yance said so.
"Father, Father!" Eldest Cousin was startled and quickly helped the staggering Xiao Yanzhao.
Xiao Yanzhao only felt that the destruction of the Immortal Clan was imminent.
How many rogue cultivators must he have robbed?
Which family's decent rogue cultivator would be robbed of tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, tens of thousands of Spirit Stones at a time?
Whether or not it was snatched from a rogue cultivator.
But the stolen goods were right here, so it was a mess even if it wasn't!
No wonder Qingyuan's backyard now required a jade talisman for entry and exit.
He was truly bold!
He asked in a trembling whisper: "Then what about these Spirit Stones? How many Spirit Stones are here?"
Zhao Guanyin quickly spoke: "According to my husband, there are a total of thirty cubic units here. Niece-in-law doesn't know what a cubic unit is, but the number of Spirit Stones is over twelve thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."
She didn't mention that the family still had ten thousand, and Xiao Qingyuan had even more Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in his possession. She was afraid Elder Uncle couldn't handle it.
"My husband said..." Zhao Guanyin's voice was weak.
"He said these Spirit Stones weren't being used, and since they were just sitting there, it would be better to feed them back into the Spirit Eye through the Spirit-Attracting Formation."
"If even one Spirit Eye could produce a few drops of thousand-year Spirit Milk, that would be a huge profit."
"So... you absolutely don't need to worry. At the current intensity of attack, those people outside will die of exhaustion before they can break in."
Everyone was speechless upon hearing this.
Everyone else used Spirit-Attracting Formations to feed the spring eye.
But Xiao Qingyuan, this fellow, had the spring eye feed the Spirit Field instead.
Is this reasonable?
However, the next second.
The situation outside the Formation changed again in a short time.
"You of the Xiao Clan Immortal Family, listen! Look who this is? Quickly open the grand Formation, otherwise, we cannot guarantee what will happen next!"
