Chapter 129: Miniature Chi-amassing Formation


    Alchemy was a field that required an in-depth study. It was always much worse without the guidance of a mentor. Ye Chen gripped a book on alchemy in his hands and never stopped reading it every day.


    Soon, a few days had passed and several wooden huts that could be lived in had already been built in the valley. Some ordinary nsmen also started to make bricks and tiles. After a year or two in the valley, they should be able to build brick houses.


    Tribtion after tribtion, the people of the Ye n grew more tenacious and learned to cherish their lives now. The cultivators in the n had cultivated wildly as if they were mad. With their hard work along with a mysterious cultivation system like the Thunder Emperor Technique, the strength of the Ye n would soon rise.


    Ye Zhanxiong and the others went out looking for orphans. The Ye n needed to be stronger urgently!


    It was a bustling scene.


    Ye Chen sat on a stone at the corner of the valley. In front of him was a vacant area with many stones scattered around.


    “Little Tanuki, is it useful to arrange a primordial formation like the one in the Sunken Jade Tower?” Ye Chen asked Little Tanuki beside him. He remembered the arrangement of the Chi-amassing Formation back when he was in the Sunken Jade Tower.


    Little Tanuki shook its head. It did not know either. It did not understand anything about primordial formations.


    Ye Chen closed his eyes and recalled. When his Astral Body floated over the primordial Chi-amassing Formation, he had seen the entire array from above. The formation consisted of more than six hundred mysterious boulders. Ye Chen quickly arranged the formation based on the impression in his memory.


    After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen opened his eyes and saw the formation he had arranged on the ground in front of him. It was the same as the Chi-amassing Formation in the Sunken Jade Tower, albeit a smaller version.


    A long time had passed but he did not see the Chi-amassing Formation operating.


    ‘It didn’t work? Why?’ Ye Chen was puzzled. The formation he had arranged was the same as the Chi-amassing Formation in the Sunken Jade Tower. The Chi-amassing Formation in the Sunken Jade Tower also automatically ran on its own without any energy driving it. However, his Chi-amassing Formation could not run at all!


    Ye Chen felt a little depressed. He bowed his head and contemted in distress. He felt that he was missing something. Could the most important thing be that golden disc in the middle of the Chi-amassing Formation?


    After thinking for a long time, Ye Chen swept his gaze across the six hundred or so stones again.


    Ye Chen suddenly realized something mysterious. Looking at these irregrly arranged stones, he seemed to have been struck with inspiration. He jumped down from the towering stone and drew on the mud with a pebble.


    “Kan position, Kun position…1” Ye Chen quickly sketched all kinds of diagrams on the ground. Knowledge poured out of his mind, some regarding cultivation and some regarding other matters. Slowly, in Ye Chen’s eyes, the arrangement of these six hundred or so stones seemed to make sense.


    Ye Chen barked augh and gathered all the stones on the ground. He smoothed out the ground and started arranging the stones one by one again. Each stone was ced in a very strict order.


    Little Tanuki opened its eyes curiously and looked at the stones ced in specific positions on the ground. Like a game of Go, each stone was dropped like a piece on a chessboard, forming a bridge between earlier andter stages with countless future possibilities, endlessly profound.


    After more than an hour, a miniature version of the primordial Chi-amassing Formation appeared. The moment when Ye Chen ced the final stone, he felt the Celestial Chi in his body surge out.


    When his Dantian was about to be emptied, Ye Chen got a fright and quickly used the Flying Dagger to continuously replenish the Celestial Chi in his body.


    Creak, creak, the Chi-amassing Formation moved slowly.


    Along with the Chi-amassing Formation, the Celestial Chi in the surroundings also started to gather. Slowly, the Chi-amassing Formation ran more smoothly.


    Ye Chen understood that the Celestial Chi he had consumed earlier was just an introduction. After the formation started moving, the formation would be able to gather the World Celestial Chi and run on its own. It was not surprising the formation itself did not need to use energy.


    Gradually, a golden halo formed in the center of the formation, just like the golden disc in the center of the Chi-amassing Formation in the Sunken Jade Tower.


    The Chi-amassing Formation that Ye Chen had arranged was not as good as the one in the Sunken Jade Tower and could not gather arge amount of Celestial Chi at once. Furthermore, it was too small and he could not sit in it to cultivate. However, over time, it would certainly make the Celestial Chi in the valley richer.


    Ye Chen could only make a small formation. If it wererger, the Celestial Chi in his body would not be able to support it. He would be drained instantly and the Flying Dagger might not be able to replenish his Celestial Chi in time, causing great damage to his body.


    “Not bad!” Ye Chen smiled in satisfaction looking at this Chi-amassing Formation. The effect had alreadypletely exceeded his expectations.


    Feeling the Celestial Chi gathering at this ce, Ye Changxuan and the others quickly flew over. They were quite confused to see pieces of stones arranged in a strange formation.


    “Little Chen, what’s this formation? It can gather Celestial Chi!” Ye Changxuan said in surprise. The effect was quite good. It would be a benefit if one had cultivated beside this formation.


    “This formation is called the Chi-amassing Formation. I’m preparing to arrange a few more Chi-amassing Formations in the valley so that the n can cultivate around the formations.” Ye Chen smiled slightly. If he ced six or seven Chi-amassing Formations around, as time passed, the Celestial Chi in the valley would be several or even dozens of times stronger than outside.


    Ye Chen once again brought about a great surprise to the n. The nsmen were curious about the formation. Although some tried to understand the formation, after studying it, they found that they were still at a loss. The mystery of the formation was beyond theirprehension.


    The valley was bing more like a paradise. Ye Chen thought with a smile that the Ye n might decide to settle down and recuperate here. When the Ye n reappeared in front of the eyes of the world, they would surely be a shockingly big shot. At that time, no one would dare to look down upon the Ye n anymore.


    Ye Chen held the book on alchemy as if he was obsessed. After preparing and understanding it carefully for a few days, he started to try alchemy. The cultivators of the Ye n had cultivated beside the Chi-amassing Formation daily. On the other hand, besides making bricks and tiles, the ordinary nsmen also began to cultivate farnd on the ins while others fished in thekes. The scene was lively and busy.


    On this day, Ye Chen walked along the edge of the forest. In the distance, there were suddenly shouts of pleasant surprise from several nsmen deep in the forest.


    “What happened?” Ye Chen thought curiously before quickly running to the source of the sound.
