617: Chapter 617 Formation

"If I join the Liu Clan Merchant Alliance, what do I need to do?" Vajra Arhat's wariness spiked.

There is no such thing as kindness without reason in this world. This True Lord Liu does not look like a good person at all, and joining the Liu Family is definitely not a good thing.

If he weren't lacking in strength and held in check by others, he wouldn't even have asked and would have run away immediately.

"Don't be so nervous!" Liu Xuan gently reassured him. "Later, you can go out and ask around. This Seat is a recognized gentleman, a Disciple of Lady Yaoguang, and has never had the heart to harm others."

"Ordinary Cultivators want to join the Liu Clan Merchant Alliance but cannot. I am letting you join directly because my son, Eldest Son, is interested in your Buddhist Cultivation Technique."

Liu Xuan sent a voice transmission to his Eldest Son, Eldest Son, giving him a few instructions, and then, regardless of whether Vajra Arhat agreed or not, he directly ordered Eldest Son to take them away.

Although Buddhist cultivation methods have obvious flaws, they do have some points worth referencing. Since Eldest Son is interested, it is fine to take these people into the Merchant Alliance.

Buddhist Cultivation Techniques do not conflict with True Qi. When the time comes, give them the Heaven-Seizing One Qi Secret Art, and these Buddhist Disciples will be qualified thugs for the Merchant Alliance.

After the meeting dispersed, Eldest Son took Vajra Arhat and the other Buddhist Cultivators to the Merchant Alliance headquarters.

"Senior Vajra Arhat!" Eldest Son mimicked Buddhist etiquette and bowed respectfully. "I will explain the affairs of the Merchant Alliance to you one by one. Please listen carefully."

"The Liu Clan Merchant Alliance was originally a Family Merchant Alliance founded by my father, mainly operating some businesses. However, developing to this day, the Liu Clan Merchant Alliance is no longer limited to general business, but is a complex organization that wields massive energy. Among them, the duties and rules of the Merchant Alliance guards are..."

Eldest Son explained the general situation of the Merchant Alliance, as well as what they would need to do after joining and what benefits they could receive.

"You are welcome to verify everything this Junior has said. I will give you three days to consider. If you are still unwilling to join by then, you may leave on your own, and I will explain everything to my father for you."

Hearing Eldest Son say this, Vajra Arhat couldn't help but believe him a little. "Infinite Buddha, if everything about the Merchant Alliance is truly as the Young Master says, my Vajra Sect is willing to serve you!"

The Western Desert is bitterly cold; it cannot even gestate Spirit Stone veins, and Medicinal Pills are even rarer.

If they could join the Liu Clan Merchant Alliance, they would not only receive a generous salary but also be able to complete their Buddhist tasks along the way, which could be described as the best of both worlds.

Previously, when Vajra Arhat told Liu Xuan they would go to the Azure Profound Sect, it was the same; in reality, it was nonsense.

The Dao Court has always had a suppressive relationship with Buddhism, and the Azure Profound Sect is, to a certain extent, a subordinate Sect supported by the Dao Court. Recently, Dao Court Cultivators have been stationed at the Azure Profound Sect; if they went there, their fate would be unpredictable. It would be better to deal with the Yao Race instead.

Although the Buddhist Sect is strong, its historical foundation is insufficient, and it is far behind compared to the Dao Court.

Liu Xuan instructed Demon Lord Chixia to keep a close eye on them, and he didn't concern himself with the rest, leaving it entirely to Eldest Son to handle.

Three days later.

The Vajra Sect officially announced it had become a branch of the Liu Clan Merchant Alliance guard team, nominally under the control of Eldest Son, with Peak Nascent Soul Demon Lord Chixia stationed in the background.

These Buddhist guards had no serious tasks for the time being. They only took on the job of maintaining security in the outer city, and some of them took part-time jobs as official thugs for the Contention and Dao Discussion Arena to earn some ticket commissions.

After a period of time, Eldest Son distributed the Heaven-Seizing One Qi Secret Art to them as a salary, and then slowly arranged for some Disciples who had cultivated True Qi into frontline adventure teams or Cultivator armies.

... Half a year later.

An invisible ripple spread out from the backyard of the Liu residence, quickly diffusing and spreading across the entire Biyou Immortal City.

Ordinary Cultivators could not feel anything unusual, but Cultivators at the Golden Core True Person level and above felt the world suddenly go silent, as if the rules of heaven and earth had completely frozen.

The Law of Space seemed to have changed. All space-escaping Spells, Talismans, Magic Treasures, and Formations... all seemed to have their effects weakened, suppressed by an invisible force.

Biyou Pool is the Liu Family residence and also the dojo of Peach Blossom Demon Saint. It is reasonable for abnormalities to occur occasionally, and the Cultivators in the city have long been accustomed to it.

"Hahaha..." "It's done!"

Liu Xuan looked at a huge, circular Formation emitting the silver-white light of the Law of Space, and a great sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.

A long-distance Teleportation Formation!

This was not knowledge directly instilled by the System, but something he had researched himself through the Formation knowledge he had mastered and the existing teleportation Formations of the world.

When obtaining the same thing, whether it is picked up for free or obtained through one's own efforts, although the result is the same, the latter brings a stronger sense of accomplishment.

Actually, Liu Xuan didn't really crave any sense of accomplishment; it was mainly because the System couldn't provide whatever he wanted, which was quite trashy, like an artificial idiot...

The Formation was based on Spirit Jade, carved with complex and profound deep-space Dao patterns. As the silver light flowed, it seemed to contain an endless galaxy.

Embedded in the center of the Formation was a fifth-order primordial void marrow stone. Wisps of the Law of Space flowed, and the originally formless and intangible violent space power seemed to turn into a pool of still water.

"Let's test the effect!"

Liu Xuan's Divine Sense entered the primordial void marrow stone at the core of the Formation. His vision blurred for a moment, and then layers of miniature mountains and rivers appeared. With just a thought, he could span hundreds of thousands of miles.

His Divine Sense perception range was magnified tenfold or a hundredfold, but the clarity was very low; he could only observe a general outline.

After exploring for a while, Liu Xuan withdrew his Divine Sense from the primordial void marrow stone and shook his slightly dizzy head.

A Teleportation Formation is not used this way. Strictly speaking, this Formation has not been fully set up; only half of it has been completed.

To connect two places, without needing extra operations, one can teleport directly, but one must also build a corresponding Formation at the corresponding teleportation location.

"Let's test the waters with Star Immortal City first!"

Liu Xuan borrowed the power of the half-completed Teleportation Formation to amplify his own use of the Law of Space, forcibly spanning over a million miles and instantly appearing above the Star Palace.

"Not bad! It only used thirty percent of my magic power."

Liu Xuan felt his own state. With the help of half the Teleportation Formation, spanning a million miles instantly only consumed thirty percent of his magic power. This meant that in special circumstances, he could instantly escape over three million miles. When the time came, he would conceal his aura and hide inside the cave heaven; even if immortals came, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

"Hum~"

Just as Liu Xuan was pondering, An Haoran, who was stationed at Star Academy, was frightened to the point of his scalp tingling by the powerful aura that suddenly appeared above his head. He hurriedly came out to take a look, and it turned out to be his son-in-law.

"Liu Xuan?" "You brat, why aren't you staying properly in Biyou City and running over here to me?!"

An Haoran looked behind Liu Xuan and didn't see the figures of his two daughters, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This son-in-law of his at least had a bit of conscience, and he valued decency. To be honest, he treated him quite well, even handing over the management of Star Academy to him.

But his two daughters were different; they were simply troublesome children. They didn't know their own strength when they acted, and when they moved house, they almost emptied his Family fortune.

"Father-in-law, rest assured, Yun Xi and Yun Miao didn't come; I came alone."

Liu Xuan took a step and teleported to An Haoran's side, saying, "Father-in-law, this son-in-law has come to discuss a big business deal with you. We will split the profits nine-one."

"I get nine, you get one!"
