Chapter 183 Progress
Mo Hua followed the planned architectural array diagram, one array after another, one complex array after another, step by step, and drew in an orderly manner.
When his spiritual consciousness was exhausted, he would meditate to recover. When he was tired, he would sit aside to rest for a while, take a book on array theory to read and relieve fatigue.
After a good rest, he continued to draw the array.
The array of this large-scale project has a lot of array patterns. Although it is not particularly difficult to draw, it is very boring and tests the patience and concentration of the array master.
Fortunately, Mo Hua is used to drawing arrays. He practiced arrays day and night before, so he is still quite adapted to drawing them now.
Moreover, he has accumulated thousands of bottles of monster blood, all of which he has mixed into spiritual ink. If he does not use it now, the spiritual ink will weaken over time, which is a waste.
Those were all bottles of blood that Mo Hua drew from monsters one by one.
For several days, Mo Hua has been drawing arrays alone.
Master Ban also understood that Elder Yu did not invite other formation masters, and only Mo Hua was drawing the formation.
Such a large equipment refining shop, so many buildings, so many formations, and so many formation patterns, all need to be drawn by one person.
Master Ban's scalp tingled just thinking about it.
It will take a long time to draw...
Master Ban was anxious, but he couldn't ask Mo Hua directly.
First, Mo Hua was concentrating on drawing the formation and couldn't be disturbed.
Second, since knowing that Mo Hua was a formation master and could draw a first-class formation, Master Ban felt a little in awe and didn't dare to talk to Mo Hua.
Formation masters have always been respected, and they are different from the low-level casual cultivators.
Master Ban is a craftsman and often deals with formation masters. Most formation masters are not easy to get along with. They are either conceited, arrogant, or greedy. Some of them are polite on the surface, but they look down on craftsmen in their hearts.
After all, craftsmen are just peasants, doing hard labor, which is incomparable to formation masters.
Therefore, they dare not offend formation masters, and they are often troubled by formation masters.
Some building materials are not suitable for drawing formations, and formation masters will ask them to replace them. Some layouts do not conform to the formation diagram, and formation masters will ask them to dismantle and rebuild. There are also some formations that are obviously drawn by the formation masters themselves, but in the end, they are the craftsmen who have to change them.
Master Ban hesitated for a few days, but still did not dare to ask Mo Hua.
But a few days later, Master Ban was surprised to find that many foundations and walls of buildings had already been drawn with formations.
Master Ban looked back and forth several times, and checked it against the building formation diagram, and found that it was indeed exactly the same as the formation planned on the formation diagram, without any difference.
Master Ban was stunned. This formation was drawn too quickly!
So many formations, in such a short time, can a formation master really finish drawing them?
Master Ban quietly observed Mo Hua again.
Only then did I realize that when Mo Hua drew the formation, his brushwork was very skillful, and he drew without thinking, as if he had already memorized these formation patterns, and he drew them smoothly and very quickly!
In Master Ban's impression, the formation masters would think over the formation diagram again and again when drawing the formation, and they would be very careful when drawing the formation. After drawing a formation, they would turn pale, sit down to drink tea and rest, and dawdle for most of the day.
Unlike Mo Hua, he drew decisively and formed a formation. After drawing one formation, he would quickly draw the second one.
Even if he wanted to rest, he would concentrate and meditate, and he would be energetic again after a while and continue to draw.
In this way, four or five formation masters combined may not be faster than Mo Hua alone.
Master Ban was really eye-opening.
In all these years, it was the first time he saw someone who could draw a formation as easily as drinking water.
"Could it be...he really draws so many formations within the construction period by himself?"
Master Ban thought with some disbelief and some expectation.
Mo Hua drew the formation in an orderly but smooth manner. At the same time, the construction of the weapon refinery was so big that several prominent families in Tongxian City basically knew about it.
There was a street not far from the weapon refinery. There was a teahouse on the street. There was a private room on the second floor. It was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with a fragrant aroma.
The old man of the An family and the head of the An family, An Yonglu, sat opposite each other and drank tea in the private room.
An Yonglu poured tea for the old man and frowned and said:
"Elder Yu is really a big move this time, building such a big weapon refinery..."
"After robbing the spiritual mine and having the capital, he naturally wants to do big things."
"The Qian family really lost both the wife and the army this time, and suffered a great loss!" An Yonglu was a little gloating.
Old Master An glanced at his son and said helplessly, "You don't think this is a good thing for us, do you?"
An Yonglu was stunned, "Isn't it a good thing that the Qian family suffers a loss?"
Old Master An was very disappointed, "Let me ask you, if such a large equipment refining business is built and so many spiritual tools are refined, not only the Qian family, but also our An family will be affected in business..."
"And looking at this layout, it's not just an equipment refining business, but also an alchemy business. If Yu Changlin really builds it, how can we compete with him?"
"That's the Qian family's headache first. Our An family doesn't have much equipment refining and alchemy business."
Old Master An glared at him, "You want to do the restaurant business for the rest of your life? What can you achieve by doing a restaurant?"
"I know that, but aren't we as ruthless as the Qian family? We can't compete with the equipment refining and alchemy business, so we can only do a business like a restaurant that makes money in a friendly way..." An Yonglu whispered.
Old Master An sighed, "Don't blame Xiaofu, you are a useless father."
An Yonglu was a little dissatisfied, "Dad, Xiaofu is much worse than me. If he can have half of my ability, he can be the head of the family."
Old Master An said coldly: "You are really promising, compared with your own son."
An Yonglu was embarrassed.
Old Master An picked up the cup to taste the tea, and said nothing more, but his eyes were still looking at the unfinished equipment refinery in the distance.
Such a large layout, such a large framework, Elder Yu really has a big pattern...
Old Master An sighed in his heart. He was old, and even if he had the capital, he didn't have the heart and ambition.
An Yonglu thought for a while and said: "Dad, can such a large equipment refinery be successfully built?"
Old Master An glanced at him.
An Yonglu continued, "The Qian family will not give up, and they will not sit back and watch these independent cultivators get rich. After all, the wool comes from the sheep. If these independent cultivators become powerful, the Qian family will have a hard time. The Qian family has always been in the business of fleecing the wool."
"You are right." Old Master An nodded slightly.
"Then what should we do?" An Yonglu asked.
Old Master An raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Let's wait and see."
An Yonglu nodded, waiting to see if the Qian family will make any moves.
Yu Chang made such a big fuss, and although the An family was anxious, they didn't have to be anxious. After all, they mainly run a restaurant, and the business of refining equipment and refining pills was squeezed out by the Qian family.
But the Qian family is different. The core of the Qian family is the industry of refining equipment and refining pills. Now they must be more anxious than everyone else.
