Spirit Crystals. They contained a vast amount of Spiritual Energy. Lin Tang had only ever obtained one before, but now there were so many! I've struck it rich! Lin Tang had never been so "wealthy" before; he was smiling so widely he couldn't close his mouth.
"Haha, once I absorb all the Spiritual Energy from these Spirit Crystals, even if I can't imdiately break through to the late Golden Core stage, I'll be very close! As expected of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace with its ten-thousand-year legacy. They're absolutely loaded!"
He was itching to run straight to the Yaochi Heavenly Palace and plunder its entire stock, but he knew he couldn't go. If he went in, he would be trapped like a turtle in a jar. He was no match for the Xuannü.
"How about it? Are you satisfied now? Where is my sister? Did you violate her?" the Lesser Director asked bitterly.
"I am an upright gentleman. Why would I do such a thing? I'll return her to you shortly." Lin Tang had no intention of breaking his word, so he readily agreed to release her. Then, he manipulated the command arrows to alter the great formation. Like casting a net, it was now ti to reel in the fish.
"A gentleman? You? As if you're worthy!" The Lesser Director was furious, cursing under her breath. She then turned to Ning Yuexi. "Let tell you, your man is no good. He slept with the very first ti we t."
She said this with righteous indignation, showing not a hint of shyness. Her face wasn't red from embarrassnt, only flushed with anger.
Ning Yuexi was stunned. I actually guessed right! Lin Tang, you've done it again and again!
Wei Zichu already disliked the Lesser Director, and seeing her ignore her while speaking only to Ning Yuexi made her even angrier. She jeered, "It serves you right that he slept with you! We had no history, so why did you have to abduct Uncle Long the mont you arrived? Uncle Long told everything. The only reason he slept with you is because you broke a vial of aphrodisiac on him. If you hadn't captured him and broken that vial, would you have lost your virginity? You brought this entirely upon yourself! Without that aphrodisiac, with a face like yours, he wouldn't even give you a second glance if you stripped naked and begged him to sleep with you!"
"You—" The Lesser Director looked like she wanted to tear her mouth off. After opening her mouth to speak a few tis, she suddenly laughed. "No matter how ugly I am, at least he's slept with . Unlike so people who have known him for a long ti and go around calling themselves his woman, yet are still virgins. Tsk, tsk. I guess even 'ugly' isn't enough to explain that."
"Why you little wench!" Wei Zichu's defenses crumbled, and she was so frustrated she nearly burst into tears. Gritting her teeth, she made a decision. I have to find a chance to pounce on Lin Tang myself.
Lin Tang ignored their bickering and ramped up his True Qi output. The starlight began to converge and compress until finally, the five Martial Saints were frozen in place like insects trapped in amber, completely immobile.
"Done!" A smile tugged at the corner of Lin Tang's mouth. His flying swords shot out, and in the blink of an eye, he had carved out their hearts, rendering them completely inert.
He was just about to put them into his Storage Ring, planning to refine them into his own Puppets later. But then, the unexpected happened! The mont his fingers touched one of the hearts, it was like stepping on a landmine.
BOOM!
An incredibly powerful explosion erupted, nearly vaporizing everything within a radius of several thousand ters.
Thankfully, the Celestial Stars Formation was still active. Sensing the danger, Lin Tang instantly activated his vestnt robe, using it to envelop and forcefully contain the explosion within a tiny space.
When the aftershocks faded, the five Martial Saints had been reduced to nothing but dust. Lin Tang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and a wisp of smoke curled up from his head, making him look as if he'd just crawled out of a coal mine.
"Damn it! They'd rather destroy such precious Puppets than let benefit! The Holy Master of Langhuan, was it? I'll rember you, you stingy bastard!"
「An hour later.」
He descended from the sky, bringing the weary-looking Grand Director with him.
"Sister!" the Lesser Director cried, rushing over to hug her tightly.
Lin Tang spared a glance for the touching, if rather buxom, reunion before distributing the command arrows to Zhao Xinghe and the others. "Starting today, I'll set aside so ti to teach you how to activate the Celestial Stars Formation. When the great war with the Underworld cos, this Formation will be your lifeline."
"Thank you, Heavenly King Long!"
"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"
Everyone had witnessed the power of the great Formation with their own eyes. Knowing that he was being so generous as to teach it to them, how could they not be ecstatic?
The Grand Director learned from her sister that Long Tianji had easily suppressed five Martial Saints with a single Formation. Even if they were just undead Puppets and not true Martial Saints, that's still an incredible feat!
"Long Tianji, could you also teach this Formation to ? And could you continue to spread it so more people can learn?" the Grand Director pleaded. "If thousands upon thousands of people master it, I believe the crisis of the Underworld's invasion can be easily resolved!"
In response to her rather forward request, Lin Tang didn't get angry. On the contrary, he was magnanimous. "Of course!"
"Huh?" Both the Grand and Lesser Director were stunned. They hadn't expected him to agree so readily. They were starting to see him in a new light...
However, Lin Tang then added, "But simply learning the Formation is useless on its own. You need enough materials to refine the command arrows or Array Plates to deploy it. So how about this: I'll be in charge of holding classes to teach people the Formation, and your Yaochi Heavenly Palace will be in charge of providing the materials to create the arrays. What do you say?"
The Grand Director was speechless. Taking a closer look, she finally realized that the command arrows in Lin Tang's hands were made from the Jianmu wood of her own treasured carriage, which he had dismantled!
PFFT—
She almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She wanted nothing more than to bite the scoundrel to death! No matter how deep the foundations of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace were or how many treasures it held, it was impossible to produce tens of thousands of sets of Jianmu components! Does he think Jianmu is so common rock you can just pick up off the side of the road?
Seeing her fall silent, Lin Tang's eyes widened in mock surprise.
