247 Green Dragon Grand Array (2/2)
After the two had chatted for a while, Fang Qiong was about to leave. She hesitated for a second and said reluctantly: ”Xiao Fan, my parents want to invite you over for dinner. Don't let that get into your head, they just want to meet you.”
So saying, she blushed and hurried away.
Chen Fan scratched his head and thought to himself.
”Do my father and mother-in-law want to see me?”
Chen Fan didn't like Fang Qiong's mother. In his past life, she was part of the reason that caused the couple's eventual break-up.
When Chen Fan arrived at the dorm, he was greeted by Qiu Yilun and other roommate's surprised stares.
They had never thought that that the Chen family's situation could have turned around just overnight.
The Sheng family were gone, and in its ashes, the Chen family rose as the biggest family in Jin City. Chen Fan's status as the heir of the rich family was restored. Pan Li regretted her actions for the second time and thought that she should have stayed with Chen Fan one more night.
However, from then on, Pan Li was never invited to any of the parties. Even Qian Lulu and Qiu Yilun's relationship was strained after Qiu Yilun had seen her true colors.
However, those were trivial to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan had been busy creating a few more Jade talisman for his mother. Afterward, he focused his attention on the East Mountain Meadow project.
Although the buyer's name on the contract was the Chen family, Chen Fan was the one running the show at the construction site. Under his supervision, large trucks drove into the East Mountain Meadow and transform the forested area into a flat land perfect for cultivation.
Chen Fan had formulated a good layout in his mind to subdivide the plots. He was going to build a homestead in the middle of the land for his parents to stay after their retirement. By then, the East Mountain Meadow would be surrounded by Spirit Qi that was beneficial to human's life.
As the construction carried on, the matter of casting a Dharma Array also been put on the agenda.
The Dharma Array Chen Fan plan to cast would be nothing like the Yun Wu Mountain or the Guardian Array at the Yin Dragon Pond. It would be a large size Spirit Gathering Array that can channel the Spirit Qi from the Green Dragon Lake to the land. In addition, it would also serve to misguide, defend, and assault any intruders. After all, the meadow was right next to the bustling Jin City and secrecy was on Chen Fan's top priority.
”Since the array uses the Green Dragon Lake's Spirit Qi, I should just call it the Green Dragon Grand Array.”
The Green Dragon Lake meandered around the valley like a long drake. There was plenty of Spirit Qi in the lake to charge the Green Dragon Grand Array. However, due to the size of the array, it required much more material to set up than the Yun Wu Mountain Array.
The Chen's Group purchased countless gems and jades from all over China. Among them were Yin Crystals, ten-thousand-year-old sea rocks, thousand-year-old wood… the Chens Group was not the only buyer, the other buyers included the Wei Family of the North Bank, Xu Ao of Hai Dong, Medicine God Valley Sect, Yin Ghost Sect and Lu family of Lin City.
In a short time, they had collected a huge amount of materials, much more than Third Lord Wei had collected when Chen Fan was building the Yun Wu Mountain Array.
The Green Dragon Grand Array used the Spirit Qi from the Green Dragon Lake. It was also a Yi Wood Dharma Array since its basic function was to grow herbs. Therefore, the Green Dragon Grand Array was a hybrid array of both Wood Element and Water Element. It also had an extremely high requirement for the Wood Element Spirit Qi in the environment from which it grew. Without the ancient trees on the slope of the East Mountain, Chen Fan would not be able to pull the array off.
Another key factor in the success of the array was the Azure Thearch Longevity Body.
Without it, Chen Fan would not be able to handle such a large array. Even if he had enough energy and time, he would not be able to gather enough materials if he could not use ancient trees.
Despite the smooth sailing, money had been pouring out of Chen Fan's bank account ever since he started the project.
Over the last half-year, he had gained over a few billion by selling the Spirit Water. A part of that went to Jin Xiu Group, some went to Chens Group's debt the rest was spent on the East Mountain Meadow project and the lab.
In the end, Chen Fan suddenly realized that his bank account is nearly dry.
He never had to worry about money ever since he was reborn. So the sudden break in cash flow had caught him off guard. Despite the help from the Medicine God Valley Sect, Chen Fan still didn't have enough to continue the Green Dragon Grand Array. He needed more ancient trees and wood. Plus, the Catalyst Essence Serum and the herb seeds would also cost a huge fortune.
”I remembered that someone still owes me ten billion. It's time for them to pay up.”
Chen Fan lifted his head slowly and looked toward the south, where Hong Kong was.
