531 Grand Formation (2/2)
Su Yang smiled after seeing her reaction, and he said, ”If you don't want to share it, then I won't force you. Anyway, I am going to get started with the Grand Formation now.”
”You want to start creating the formation now?” Liu Lanzhi was surprised to hear it, and she asked him, ”How long do you think it'll take? And do you need any help?”
”It should be done in time before I have to check on the Dual Cultivation Division in two weeks,” he replied.
”That fast?!” Liu Lanzhi exclaimed in a shocked voice. ”Don't formations normally take years, even decades to create? Especially if it's large enough to cover an entire Sect? Just how are you going to accomplish that in just two weeks?”
Su Yang shook his head and said, ”Don't use your standards on me, and don't compare me with the Array Masters in this world. It's like comparing someone who only recently started Cultivation to a Cultivation expert that has thousands of years of experience.”
”Y-You're right… I don't know why I still think the logic of this world applies to you…” Liu Lanzhi nearly facepalmed herself.
If she knew what Su Yang had in mind was not any ordinary Formation but a Grand Formation, something a hundred times more complicated, her reactions would've been more shocking. In fact, Grand Formations don't even exist in this world yet, as there are no Array Masters with that knowledge.
”T-Then do you need any help?” she then asked him.
”Yes, I will need you and the disciples to scatter spirit stones around the entire Sect while I make the Formation,” he nodded.
”Oh? That's quite simple. How many spirit stones are we talking about?”
After a moment of silence, Su Yang responded with three fingers raised.
”Three million spirit stones?” she tilted her head.
”Three hundred million spirit stones,” he said calmly.
”THREE HUNDRED MILLION?!” Liu Lanzhi cried out loud, her eyes and mouth wide open from shock.
While the Sect has over five hundred million Spirit Stones available, which is more than enough, she didn't expect that half of it would disappear so quickly. Three hundred million spirit stones could easily support the Sect for over 100 years, but to think that Su Yang would be willing to spend so many resources for a single Formation.
”A-Are you sure the Sect needs such an expensive Formation protecting it, Su Yang…? The Million Snakes Sect is already gone, and I don't think anyone else would dare to attack us...” Liu Lanzhi asked him in a trembling voice, as she was having second thoughts after learning of the astronomical amount of resources that are required for the formation.
”It's better safe than to be sorry. Although the Sect is safe for now, who's to say it will be safe a hundred — even ten years from now? And it's only 300 million spirit stones. We still have plenty left afterward.” Su Yang spoke with a calm expression.
”Even if we still have a lot of spirit stones afterward, spending 300 million spirit stones in one go is unheard of…” Liu Lanzhi sighed, feeling a headache was quickly approaching her.
