Chapter 412 Trust and Arrogance

In a short period of time, under the leadership of Zhang Haogu, Shang Xia quickly became familiar with everything about Fu Tang's residence at Zuwangpo.

Seeing this, the other two rank three Fu masters Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui could only follow beside them, introducing Shang Xia to Shang Xia's preparations in the station.

After visiting this place, Shang Xia finally asked the question that had been brewing in his heart for a long time: "Why set up a talisman formation? Although the formation could be quickly formed, the time for the formation to last was short, after all, the formation itself was too fragile and extremely easy to damage. Even if the time is really urgent, why not use a jade talisman or a golden talisman? At the very least, use epithelial talismans and wooden talismans, and their durability is better than that of making talismans."

Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui, two rank three Fu masters, glanced at each other, but at the same time, they also fell on Zhang Hao Gu with some doubts.

Obviously, these two rank three Fu Masters of the academy also had the same doubts.

Zhang Haogu smiled bitterly, but just said: "It's time for me to wait, there is no time for me to wait for me to set up a large and strong formation like the original Tongyou Peak Guardian Formation."

Shang Xia was shocked and blurted out: "Could it be that the Cang Ling side will counterattack immediately and set off a big war again?"

Shang Xia's thoughts are not unfounded.

To put it bluntly, the involvement of the Changbai Holy Land side was limited, and luck seemed to be on the side of Tongyou Academy, and in the end, Tongyou Academy was lucky enough to win, but the other party was not necessarily convinced.

After this battle, most of the fourth-order warriors on the side of Tongyou Academy had lost their combat power, and the essence of the external strength and middle strength had been exposed.

On the contrary, Changbai Holy Land's strong foundation was enough for them to send a sufficient number of rank four warriors to enter the two realms battlefield again.

Once this happened, if the Tongyou side did not completely lose the ownership of the two realms of war, it could only shrink all its strength in one place and hold it tightly.

Then it is imperative to arrange a large formation with sufficient grade and wide enough coverage in a short period of time.

"There are indeed considerations in this regard!"

Zhang Haogu did not deny Shang Xia's worries, but he followed closely and said: "However, this is not the main reason."

As for what the real reason was, perhaps it was because there were two Fu masters around him, Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui, Zhang Hao Gu didn't explain much, but Shang Xia was thoughtful, as if he thought of something.

While the four of them were talking, they saw a young warrior hurriedly coming towards this side.

"Mr. Zhang, two gentlemen......"

The young warrior came close and saluted the people present.

Before Zhang Haogu became the head of the Sutra Pavilion, he had served as a teacher in the Department of Teaching for a long time, and Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui, two third-order Fu masters, also had some teaching obligations in Tongyou Academy, so they would all be called "Sir" by the students of the academy.

It's just that the young warrior saw Shang Xia right after, and the whole person was stunned there.

Shang Xia glanced at the visitor, but he looked quite familiar, and he could probably remember that the visitor should be the Tongyou Academy he entered at the same time as him, and he was a classmate of the Eight Classics.

It's just that he spent so little time in the academy that he couldn't remember which room the visitor came from, who the instructor was, and what his name was.

Shang Xia only felt a little embarrassed, smiled at the visitor, and then looked away.

On the contrary, this student was quite uneasy.

In less than two years, this former chief of the outer house has become a legend in the entire academy.

And this student seems to be making progress in the academy.

Now he is already a student of the upper house.

However, when the two of them stood in front of the academy's master at the same time, he could only be an errand runner who passed on the news, while Shang Xia was already chatting and laughing with the rank four chief and rank three Fu masters.

Zhang Haogu saw that the students who were spreading the news in front of him were actually distracted, and couldn't help but be a little displeased: "What's the matter with you?"

The young warrior was shocked, quickly gathered his mind, and opened his mouth to report again: "Mr. Zhang, two gentlemen, the formation hall is urging again, I hope that even if we can't deliver all the formation talismans, at least some of them will be delivered first."

Zhang Haogu, Gong, and Fan didn't look good when they heard this.

"Thousands of formation talismans, do they think they can be made so easily?"

Fan Yuanhui, who looked a little grumpy, couldn't help but shout angrily.

Zhang Haogu waved his hand, signaling Fan Yuanhui not to say much, only to see him look at the person who came, and said in a gentle tone: "What is part of what the formation said?"

The young warrior hurriedly said: "According to the news from the formation hall Chu teaching, they are almost ready to use the formation core to arrange the large formation, as long as our Fu Hall can provide twenty-four third-order formation talismans, one hundred and eight second-order formations, and four or five hundred first-order formation talismans, then they will be able to complete the preliminary construction of the guardian formation. At that time, we just need to slowly complete the remaining formation talismans, and then fill them up gradually."

Fan Yuanhui immediately snorted coldly and said: "It turns out that this little girl was sent by Zhen Tang this time, what does she mean by this, is she deliberately embarrassing us?"

Gong Hang was also a little dissatisfied: "The guard formation of Sitting Wangpo was originally to be arranged in the way Tongyou Peak was before, so the people in the formation hall were naturally prepared. But now the academy temporarily changed the guardian formation to a Fu formation, but our Fu Hall was completely unprepared in advance. Their formation core does not need to be remade and can still be used, but they suddenly assigned us more than a thousand formation talisman tasks, and we are rushing the ducks to put them on the shelves, but now they are urging us."

Zhang Haogu thought for a while and said seriously to the two rank three Fu Masters: "Anyway, it is a fact that Sitting on Wangpo continues to guard the formation now. Since we can build the framework of the guardian formation first, then we will make a part of the formation Fu first."

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu looked at Shang Xia and smiled: "Besides, now that our formation has an additional rank three Fu master, I think the progress will improve a lot in the future."

Gong Hang just smiled politely when he heard this, but Fan Yuanhui shook his head a little distrustfully.

Zhang Hao Gu didn't notice the expressions on the faces of the two rank three Fu masters, he just looked at the young warrior and said, "You go to the formation hall one more time, tell Chu Jia Chu to teach, and just say that the Fu hall agrees to her plan here, and make a part of the formation talisman first."

The young warrior apologized, quickly turned around and left in a hurry.

Zhang Haogu looked at the three of them and said with a wry smile: "The next step is mainly to look at the three of them."

Gong Hang was the oldest in the Fu Hall, and his level of Fu making was also the highest, so he said: "Without further ado, I will continue to produce the third-order formation Fu with Master Fan. It's just that the small merchant Fu master has just arrived, can he make adjustments first?"

Shang Xia smiled and said: "No need to adjust, since you have to hurry up, then start making the hand formation immediately."

Gong Hang nodded and said, "In that case, I will ask the small merchant Fu Master to start the production of the second-order formation Fu first."

Shang Xia was slightly startled, his smile already had some playfulness, but he didn't answer.

Instead, Zhang Hao Gu next to him said "hey" and said, "He is also a rank three Fu master, why not let him also join the production of the rank three formation Fu?

Although the Chu instructor of the formation hall said that the first batch of third-order formation talismans only needed twenty-four, I remember that the two of you have only completed less than ten now, right?"

Gong Hang smiled and said nothing, but his gaze at Shang Xia had a meaning of "I'm for your own good, don't be ignorant".

However, Fan Yuanhui next to him had no taboos at all, and directly sneered: "If we want to say that a small merchant Fu master has made a rank three martial Fu, we naturally believe it, becoming a rank three Fu master at this age is naturally a genius, and I am also inferior to the font file. Although the formation hall has now reduced the number of formation talismans required, the production of third-order talisman paper is also not easy, in case it is damaged too much during the production process, causing a small waste of resources, and delaying the layout of the Wangpo Fu formation is a big problem."

Speaking of this, where is there anything Shang Xia can't understand?

Although these two rank three Fu masters of the formation hall were very polite to him on the surface, they still did not trust his rank three Fu making technique after all.

Perhaps in their opinion, as a direct descendant of the Shang clan, he, a rank three Fu master, was probably not barely fed using the family's massive resources, maybe it was still luck, the success rate of making talismansa might be frighteningly low.

And joining the Fu Hall this time, I am afraid that there is still the purpose of using the academy's resources to practice hands.

Instead of giving Shang Xia, an "unreliable" rank three Fu master, to practice his hands, it would be better to send him to make a rank two formation Fu.

This could not only save the already small number of rank three Fu masters, but also greatly increase the speed of making rank two formation Fu.

After all, it is inevitable that Shang Xia still has the experience of making third-order martial talismans, even if it is just due to luck, then the efficiency of making second-order martial talismans that are one rank lower will not be too bad.

Zhang Hao Gu frowned slightly when he heard this, although he was slightly dissatisfied with the arrangement of the two rank three Fu Masters, these two were also out of public interest after all, he was not very harsh.

The reason for this was because Zhang Haogu himself didn't know much about the details of Shang Xia's rank three Fu master.

Shang Xia smiled at this time and spoke: "How many third-order talisman papers have Fu Tang prepared at present?"

It can be seen that Zhang Haogu also looked over and had to answer: "At present, there are only twenty-nine third-order talisman papers, and third-order talisman papers will be produced one after another in the next period of time, but before the current batch of materials is exhausted, based on the level of the formation hall Fu craftsmen, at most six or seven more third-order talisman papers will be made."

Zhang Haogu was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "Is this batch of materials running out again?"

Gong Hang was about to open his mouth to explain, and complained a few words about the insufficient supplies, which was also one of the reasons for slowing down the progress of Fu Tang, but was interrupted by Shang Xia next to him.

"How many third-order formation Fu have been made so far?" Shang Xia asked.

Gong Hang was a little dissatisfied with Shang Xia's direct inquiry, but it was not easy to attack in front of Zhang Haogu, so he had to say coldly: "Gong and Master Fan Fu have already made eight sheets."

Shang Xia said with a "hmm" and thought: "The first batch of third-order formation Fu only needs twenty-four, in addition to the eight that have already been made, sixteen third-order formation talismans need to be made. There are still twenty-nine third-order talisman papers left, plus six or seven new ones that will be made in the future, that is thirty-five or six third-order talisman papers......"

Speaking of this, Shang Xia looked at Zhang Haogu and smiled: "The production of formation talismans is relatively simple compared to the martial talismans of the same level, maybe before this batch of materials is exhausted, we will be able to prepare twenty-four third-order formation talismans."

"Oh?" Zhang Haogu's eyes lit up.

"Hmph, arrogance!" Fan Yuanhui was dismissive.
