Chapter 199: Formation
The one month between the time when the effects of the elixir are fed back and the time when the next batch of elixirs goes on sale is very important.
The Xianlai Sect is very unfamiliar to many people, and no one knows the extent of their strength. Now that they are about to become famous with the Breakthrough Pill, it is inevitable that people will look at them sideways.
In the future, there will definitely be people who come to inquire or want to rob, and how the Xianlai Sect responds will also be secretly observed by various forces.
Only by not becoming a soft persimmon can they establish a preliminary image, which will also determine the attitude of those forces towards them.
But the good thing is that those who come to them will only be from small forces, because the big forces look down on them and will not attack them just for a breakthrough pill.
The most important thing is that Xianlaifang only sold twenty pills the first time, which was enough to make everyone think that this pill was difficult to refine, or the materials were scarce and it was destined to be impossible to mass-produce.
Since it cannot be mass-produced, it naturally won't pose any threat to them.
"That's right. Let's take turns patrolling and guarding during this time."
"Okay, then let's divide the work and take turns in groups of two or three every day." Hu Jiu nodded.
In fact, they are not afraid of anyone breaking into the sect to inquire, because the greatest confidence of the Xianlai Sect is Mo Jiuwei, which is something that others cannot know.
As for the Breakthrough Pill, although its raw materials are in the back mountain, the Tianyanxiang Mushroom cannot be found by human power. What's more, the Bu Shen tribe lives in the back mountain. If there is any disturbance, they will be the first to notice it.
Therefore, even if someone came to investigate, they would most likely return empty-handed.
But what everyone was worried about was not the other party's investigation, but... killing people and stealing treasures!
It's impossible for them to break into the bedroom without them noticing, right? So the necessary guards were still necessary.
Seeing that they had almost finished discussing the matter, Mo Jiuwei yawned and then spoke——
"No need to go through so much trouble, just set up a bell formation."
[The bell ringing formation is a must-have magic formation at home! ]
[As long as someone doesn't go through the main gate and tries to sneak in, the magic circle will make a loud noise. Isn't this better than sending someone to guard it? ]
[But a bell-ringing formation is not enough, there must also be a trapping formation, otherwise the people will escape. ]
[Well, the Dragon Trapping Formation is great! ]
Mo Jiuwei thought of the corresponding method in a very short time.
Hu Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Bell ringing formation, dragon trapping formation? ?
These were all ancient formations that he had seen in books, but he could not see any diagrams of their layout, so even though he was very interested, he was unable to learn how to set them up.
From what Mo Jiuwei said, she can even make this?
That's right, Junior Sister should be omnipotent!
"Well, Junior Sister, I just need to think about the magic circle, why don't you accompany me?" Hu Jiu asked with a smile.
Mo Jiuwei had exactly this intention, so she agreed readily.
…
Jiachi City.
"Brother, you're back?" The woman in blue heard the noise and walked out of the room, facing her brother who looked delighted.
"Qianqian, look, what did I buy for you?" The man couldn't wait to present his treasure.
"Medicine bottle? Is this a pill?"
Gao Qian took it doubtfully, and when she got closer she smelled a special fragrance that she had never smelled before.
Hmm...it doesn't look like a pill, but it did whet her appetite.
"Well, it's called Breakthrough Pill." Gao Yan grinned.
Gao Qian's eyes widened suddenly, "Breakthrough Pill? The one from the Xianlai Sect in Ziye City? The one worth a hundred thousand crystal stones?!"
She was not feeling well at all.
Although Jiachi City is not close to Ziye City, news about the Breakthrough Pill has still been heard, and this is also what many people are secretly paying attention to.
The same goes for Gao Qian, she has reached the great perfection of foundation building since last year, but because she is not sure, she wants to hold off and not rush to break through.
As soon as the news of the breakthrough pill came out, she had been paying attention to it, but the money needed to buy a pill was too much, and she was reluctant to spend it, so she just watched and had no intention of snatching it.
But I didn't expect that her brother would buy it back for her!
"It is this one." Gao Yan knew what his sister was thinking and comforted her, "This pill can not only help you break through, but also eliminate your inner demons. It is very suitable for you. You should take the pill and practice now."
"Brother! This is too expensive. If you buy it, our money will run out. Even if I can make a breakthrough with it, what about you? I can't be so selfish. You should return it."
"How can you retreat? Besides, if you lose money, you can always find a way to earn it again. You have great talent, so you can't delay any longer."
"If you can't return it, then you can keep it. You are already in the middle stage of foundation building, and you will need it sooner or later." Gao Qian still shook his head and was not going to accept it.
One hundred thousand crystals were almost all the money they had. Even if they needed it, the elder brother would have priority.
"My talent is not as good as yours! You can use it now, but I don't know how many years I have to wait. The elixir has been bought and cannot be wasted. Be obedient!" Gao Yan frowned. "Besides, elixirs for removing inner demons are very expensive. This elixir has two uses. The price is very reasonable. It will be difficult to buy it again if you miss it."
Then he explained that he had only sold twenty Breakthrough Pills in total, and that the next one would take another month.
"This is already such a big deal. Besides, someone has tried it before. If it really works, the next batch will definitely be snapped up. Maybe they will even raise the price. Then we won't be able to buy it even if we want to!"
Gao Yan has no inner demons, but his sister does.
Their parents were brutally murdered by their enemies. That day, they went to play with their friends next door and were not at home.
Before my parents died, they hid my sister. She witnessed how they died and has been haunted by it ever since.
When my sister was making the breakthrough from Qi training to foundation building, she had a near-death experience and almost didn't make it through her inner demons.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through. If the inner demons cannot be eliminated, then my sister will never be able to successfully break through, so this pill is exactly what she needs.
If they don't have this condition and don't have so many crystals, then they can only grit their teeth and bear it like ordinary poor monks, and whether they can break through alive depends entirely on luck.
But they obviously have it, so if that's the case, why bother looking for something far away?
Gao Qian also hesitated after hearing this.
"Is it really impossible to return it?" She was still a little reluctant. "This is a new pill. We don't know if it's effective yet. If it's fake..."
"Qianqian, breaking through is a matter of life and death. Even if the elixir is real, it does not necessarily guarantee a successful breakthrough, right?" Gao Yan asked.
Before buying the elixir this time, he specifically inquired about the Xianlai Sect in Ziye City. The result of the inquiry was that the people of the Xianlai Sect were loyal and righteous. Even in the most difficult times, they would not steal or rob. The whole city could testify to their reputation.
